Australia says world needs to know origins of COVID-19

SYDNEY (Reuters) - The world's nations must do all they can to understand the origins of COVID-19, Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Saturday, comments that could worsen tensions with China.
Addressing the United Nations General Assembly, Morrison said an inquiry into the roots of the virus would minimise the threat of another global pandemic.
"This virus has inflicted a calamity on our world and its peoples. We must do all we can to understand what happened for no other purpose than to prevent it from happening again," Morrison said via a teleconference video link.
"There is a clear mandate to identify the zoonotic source of the COVID-19 virus and how it was transmitted to humans."
Morrison's comments came after similar comments by the prime minister earlier in the year soured ties between Australia and China.
At that time, he led global demands for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19. China strongly rebuffed that move, with Beijing's ambassador to Canberra warning the inquiry calls could sour trade ties.
Since then, China has imposed trade sanctions on Australia. It suspended some beef imports on a technicality and effectively blocked a A$439 million ($308.5 million) trade in barley by slapping tariffs of 80.5% on the Australian import. China has also launched an anti-dumping probe into Australian wine imports.
Meanwhile, Australia called on all nations to share a COVID-19 vaccine should one be developed.
Australia earlier this year signed a vaccine agreement with AstraZeneca , with the first batches scheduled to be delivered in January 2021 if trials prove successful.
Australia has said it will share supplies with smaller Pacific Island nations.

France, Germany to agree to NATO role against Islamic State - sources | Reuters
By Robin Emmott and John Irish | BRUSSELS/PARIS BRUSSELS/PARIS France and Germany will agree to a U.S. plan for NATO to take a bigger role in the fight against Islamic militants at a meeting with President Donald Trump on Thursday, but insist the move is purely symbolic, four senior European diplomats said.The decision to allow the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to join the coalition against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq follows weeks of pressure on the two allies, who are wary of NATO confronting Russia in Syria and of alienating Arab countries who see NATO as pushing a pro-Western agenda."NATO as an institution will join the coalition," said one senior diplomat involved in the discussions. "The question is whether this just a symbolic gesture to the United States
China's Xi says navy should become world class | Reuters
BEIJING Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday called for greater efforts to make the country's navy a world class one, strong in operations on, below and above the surface, as it steps up its ability to project power far from its shores.China's navy has taken an increasingly prominent role in recent months, with a rising star admiral taking command, its first aircraft carrier sailing around self-ruled Taiwan and a new aircraft carrier launched last month.With President Donald Trump promising a US shipbuilding spree and unnerving Beijing with his unpredictable approach on hot button issues including Taiwan and the South and East China Seas, China is pushing to narrow the gap with the U.S. Navy.Inspecting navy headquarters, Xi said the navy should "aim for the top ranks in the world", the Defence Ministry said in a statement about his visit."Building a strong and modern navy is an important mark of a top ranking global military," the ministry paraphrased Xi as saying.

We have been following him for more than one month and a half," Bin Salem said.

British police hunt possible bomb-maker, accomplices after Manchester bombing - sources | Reuters
By Michael Holden and Andy Bruce | MANCHESTER, England MANCHESTER, England British police hunted on Wednesday for potential accomplices who may have helped Salman Abedi build the bomb that killed 22 people at a concert in Manchester and who could be ready to kill again.As police tried to piece together the British-born Abedi's past, Prime Minister Theresa May said security officials had raised their assessment of the threat to Britain to "critical", indicating an attack is imminent.Part of that threat assessment is the fear that Abedi, who blew himself up in the bomb attack, could have been working as part of a group with possible links to militants who have the competence to plot and execute suicide bombings.
Lupin warns of more pricing pressure as fourth-quarter profit halves | Reuters
By Zeba Siddiqui | MUMBAI MUMBAI Indian drugmaker Lupin Ltd expects to launch over 30 products in the United States this year, but warned revenue growth would remain muted due to growing pricing pressure and competition in the world's largest healthcare market."We've talked about medium single digits of price erosion in the past and I think we are now (seeing) high single digits," Managing Director Nilesh Gupta told Reuters after Lupin reported a quarterly profit that halved from a year earlier.The country's third-largest drugmaker has been working on building a pipeline of high-value complex generic drugs in the United States to offset growing competition in plain generics. But a consolidation among drug distributors has hit generic companies' ability to negotiate on prices, and price hikes have also become harder to justify amid regulatory scrutiny."Competition is increasing and (distributors) are getting more powerful than ever before," Gupta said. The company expects to launch more than 30 drugs this year, most of which would be small to medium-sized opportunities, with bigger, more lucrative launches planned for 2019, he added

More: Dance
During Middle Ages, Church considered dance as a sin and condemned it. Records of Medieval dance are fragmented and limited, but a noteworthy dance reference from the medieval period is the allegory of the Danse Macabre. During the Renaissance, dance experienced growing popularity. Country dances, performed for pleasure, became distinct from court dances, which had ceremonial and political functions. In Germany, originated from a modified ländler, the waltz was introduced in all the European courts. The 16th century Queen of France Catherine de' Medici promoted and popularized dance in France and helped develop the ballet de cour. The production of the Ballet Comique de la Reine in 1581 is regarded by scholars as the first authentic ballet. In the 17th century, the French minuet, characterized by its bows, courtesies and gallant gestures, permeated the European cultural landscape.

'If you're not laid back, don't come': Bay St. Louis a complete respite from city life
Posted 12:27 PM, September 13, 2017, by WGNO Web Desk
BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. -- The quaint little town of Bay St. Louis has a rich history that dates back to 1699, when Bienville came ashore on St. Louis Feast Day (hence the name).
New Orleans photographer David Spielman takes us on a tour of this Mississippi gem through interesting interviews with locals -- and a photo and video essay you can see above.
Less than an hour away from New Orleans, Bay St. Louis is a complete respite from the big city life, Spielman says. Over in Bay St. Louis, things are just a little slower.
"We say that all the time about Bay St. Louis in general: if you're not laid back, don't come," says Murphy's Restaurant & Bar co-owner Ken Murphy. "'Cause you're going to be so laid back when we get done or when you get done that you'll want to take a nap."
The beautiful bay for which the town is named has captivating water, and you can feel the sand under your feet.
"It's a wonderful way to escape and see another part of the Gulf South," Spielman says.
If you've never taken the hour drive east on I-10 to peaceful Bay St. Louis, do yourself a favor. You won't regret it.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") today announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Public Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Sections 15(b), 19(h) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") against RichMark Capital Corporation ("RichMark"), a broker-dealer registered with the Commission, and Doyle Mark White ("White"), a principal and registered representative associated with RichMark.
In the Order, the Commission's Division of Enforcement alleges that during July and August 1998, RichMark and White willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. According to the Order, RichMark and White caused an information brochure, which profiled and recommended the purchase of the stock of a NASDAQ Small Cap Company ("Company") that RichMark had a consulting relationship with and received compensation from, to be circulated to RichMark customers and other broker-dealers. RichMark and White also allowed RichMark registered representatives to cold-call prospective investors to recommend the purchase of the Company's stock. The Order further alleges that RichMark and White failed to disclose that RichMark had a financial incentive to recommend and sell the securities of the Company to its brokerage customers, and other prospective investors. RichMark and White failed to disclose that RichMark was receiving compensation from the Company at the same time that RichMark was recommending the purchase of the Company's stock to its customer. RichMark and White also misled RichMark's customers by recommending that they purchase the Company's stock while RichMark was simultaneously selling its shares of the Company's stock.
A hearing will be scheduled to determine whether the staff's allegations are true, and, if so, what, if any remedial action should be ordered, and whether respondent should be ordered to pay disgorgement and/or civil or penalties.

Heidi Elva's debut Ships and Trees evokes the sound of the last moments of twilight, just before darkness overcomes. Using all the elements not only at her disposal but all around her, Elva compliments her harp and vocal basis with atmospheric loops, distant piano, the sound of trains; and on Er Hu nothing more than her recording of an old Chinese man playing Er Hu on a busy city street. Her ear for gathering the essence of a scene into a sound is at the heart of Ships and Trees. Like Inga Liljestrom, with whom she regularly plays, Elva explores the music of imaginary film noir soundtracks, but she has a distinctly Oriental flavor. Her minimalist approach and distant little-girl voice risk being passed on by in a busy world of hustle and bustle, but sometimes it's worth stopping a moment to look at what is in your periphery vision – you might just like what you see.

Kobold Press – Midgard Campaign Setting: Dark Roads & Deep Magic Kickstater
Have you seen the Midgard Campaign Setting Kickstater from Kobold Press? There are only 10 days left to become a backer. The kickstater campaign brings us an updated version of the original Midgard Setting. Midgard is a dark fantasy roleplaying setting that has been inspired by the myths and folklore of Eastern and Central Europe. Some regions of Midgard have been played since the 80s, Zobeck and the Crossroads were first published in 2006, and the world was originally published in 2012.
Here's the description from the Kickstater page:
Midgard Campaign Setting for 5th Edition and Pathfinder RPG: A 300+ page volume describing the Midgard regions, from the Northlands to the Western Wastes, and from the Southlands to the Crossroads. With detailed locations, cities, rulers, heraldry, plots, and adventure hooks galore, plus full details of the various pantheons, masked gods, and dark gods, there's enough here to fuel years of adventuring!
In this updated edition, you'll get the expanded Blood Kingdom of Morgau and updates to Zobeck, the Cantons, the Western Wastes, and other regions, plus all-new chapters on the Shadow Realm and Blood Kingdom as standalone chapters. It's a rich and standalone edition of the setting.
This book is available in both a regular cover and in a special limited edition with leatherette cover, bookmark, and stamped gold foil, plus a handbound leather edition.

ACLU Alabama attorney speaks on loss of Justice Ginsburg
Posted: Sep 21, 2020 / 08:24 PM CDT / Updated: Sep 22, 2020 / 10:36 AM CDT
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – American Civil Liberty Union chapters all over the nation are feeling the loss of Justice Ginsburg.
Ginsburg founded the Women's Rights Project within the ACLU. That project is dedicated to changing and pushing for reforms against institutions which perpetuate discrimination against women.
ACLU Alabama attorney Kaitlin Welborn said she wanted to be an attorney because of RBG.
She explained others in her building feel the same. The devastation has his everyone in their building. She fears Ginsburg's replacement may not be a champion for women's rights like Ginsburg was, so they're gearing up to protect their clients.
"I know that's what she would want us to do. We are going to fight even harder, we're going to have to work longer hours, we're going to have to be more creatively and we are frankly just going to have to be better lawyers."
ACLU attorney Kaitlin Welborn practices reproductive rights, and says the selection of Ginsburg's replacement could change the course of reproductive rights for the state going forward, since abortion laws in the state were challenged just last year.


Is Cleansing Conditioner from WEN by Chaz Dean Suitable for Fine Hair?
Finding the right products for your hair is a tricky and oftentimes costly experiment, and choosing the correct ones can be overwhelming. Luckily, there are people out there like the beauty bloggers who experiment with all sorts of products so we don't have to do the guesswork ourselves.
Emily McClure is one such person and recently she put a line from WEN by Chaz Dean to the test. In her week-long experiment, she tried out Cleansing Conditioner from WEN by Chaz Dean on her fine hair to determine if the product worked well or not.
For those who aren't aware, cleansing conditioners are a relatively new type of product available on the market. WEN by Chaz Dean's Cleansing Conditioner is meant to be an all-in-one product and takes the place of five products in your routine: shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, deep conditioner, and detangler. Chaz sells Wen on Sephora and Guthy-Renker exclusively.
If that sounds like a lot of products and makes you want to hide your fine hair from what seems like the inevitable weightiness of them, hang on just a sec.
Emily put the product to the test, and while she hit a few minor bumps in the road, she determined by the end of the week that Cleansing Conditioner from WEN by Chaz Dean does indeed work for fine hair! She noted that the amount of product called for seemed like a lot and she had trouble showering at night.
But switching to a morning routine and washing and styling her hair at the start of each day left her feeling confident – and for good reason! By the end of the week, she also received compliments from her friends on the health and shine of her hair.
Try it out for yourself with Emily's personal recommendation of the WEN Sweet Almond Mint (https://www.amazon.com/WEN-Sweet-Almond-Cleansing-Conditioner/dp/B0048O2R1E) Cleansing Conditioner here. For more info, check out Wen's Facebook page and subscribe to the Wen YouTube channel.

Secretary of State Rex Wayne Tillerson Announces New Look at Iran Nuclear Deal!
usatruthproject1362 April 20, 2017
While North Korea continues to provoke world outrage with their brazen long range missile tests and consistent nuclear weapons testing, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson just announced a new look at the Iran nuclear deal, officially called the JCPOA.
Apparently wanting to prevent Iran from becoming the next North Korea (a terror state with nuclear weapons), Secretary of State Rex Tillerson ratcheted up criticism Wednesday of Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, publicly confirming the Trump administration is conducting a "comprehensive review" and declaring they have "no intention of passing the buck."
Tillerson said the Iran deal "fails to achieve the objective of a non-nuclear Iran," and only delays it becoming a nuclear state. This is a huge departure from the Obama-Kerry policy of appeasement of Iran. And a welcome shift to have the United States Secretary of State announce this very significant change in foreign policy for the country!
As I have written and said publicly for years, the JCPOA does not prevent a nuclear Iran, it literally guarantees it…simply delaying it a few years into the future. Please see our website Americantruthproject.org for the many appearances I have made over the years condemning the deal as the worst blunder in American foreign policy history!

T-Mobile's $20 per month iPhone 6S is a good deal if you like T-Mobile
Image: Nathan Weyland
By Chris Perkins 2015-09-10 21:40:14 UTC
T-Mobile's new iPhone 6S deal is a good one, but only for certain customers.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere announced a new deal for the iPhone 6S called Lifetime Coverage Guarante, in a blog post published to T-Mobile's site Thursday morning. The headline figure was a $20 per month deal on the 16 GB iPhone 6S and, after 18 months, the user has the option to pay $164 to own the phone.
See also: Hands on with the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus: 3D Touch is for real
With this deal, the 16 GB iPhone 6S costs just $524, which is $125 less than paying for the phone outright. What's more, T-Mobile will unlock the phone for the customer if he or she isn't happy with the service.
Sounds like a pretty good deal, huh? It is, but it's not as simple as it seems.
If you like T-Mobile and don't mind being on an 18-month contract, it's a good deal. If you decide you don't like T-Mobile, it's more-or-less a wash.
It works with T-Mobile's Jump! On Demand program that locks customers into a 24-month payment plan with the option to pay off their device after 18 months. Customers can also upgrade their phones up to three times a year, as long as they trade their old, working phone in.
With the 16GB iPhone 6S, you pay $20 per month with the option to buy out the phone for $164 after 18 months, so the phone totals $542. If you want a 16 GB iPhone 6 Plus, you pay $24 per month with the 18-month buyout costing $192, totaling $642. Note that these are "introductory" prices, which will eventually be raised.
Pricing has yet to be announced for other iPhone 6S models, but expect a situation similar to T-Mobile's plans in the past — if you want, say, a 64 GB iPhone 6S, you pay $99 up front and $20 per month.
If the customer is unhappy with T-Mobile's service, the phone can be unlocked to work with another carrier, but the customer will lose the special pricing. When they decide to switch, they can either pay off the phone at full cost, or pay monthly to T-Mobile, with the rates increasing to $27 and $31 for the 6S and the 6S Plus, respectively.
So, T-Mobile — the company that pushed the cell phone industry away from subsidized phones — is offering what is essentially, a subsidized phone.
It's not a bad deal, though. If you like T-Mobile's service and are willing to be married to it for two years, it's a good way to save some money. If you don't like T-Mobile's service, you'll end up paying about the same as you would if you bought the phone from Apple, minus the AppleCare+ that comes with Apple's Upgrade Program. With AppleCare+ added to T-Mobile's monthly cost, it's nearly even.
So, sorry to those who thought they could get a good deal buying a phone with T-Mobile and switching back to their carrier of choice. This is best if you're satisfied with the service it provides.

30th Fringe Festival will look different, organizers say
By Matthew J. Palm
Orlando Sentinel Arts Writer |
Orlando Fringe's 30th festival this May will have fewer venues and limited seating but still offer roughly 80 shows.
Orlando Fringe's 30th festival this May will have fewer venues and limited seating but still offer roughly 80 shows. One of the new COVID-19 precautions will make theatergoers feel like VIPs: Alcohol delivery service to tables across Loch Haven Park, where the annual festival takes place.
Orlando Fringe — the nation's longest-running Fringe Festival and an economic driver for the region — will today announce its plans for the festival of theater, dance, art, music and comedy, which runs May 18-31.
"We want everyone to feel part of the celebration," said festival producer Lindsay Taylor, adding that while changes were necessary to reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus, the focus was also on helping festival artists find success and maximizing enjoyment for audiences.

The cutouts will fill in gaps between physically distanced seating while raising money for the festival's operating expenses.

"The photo can be a picture of you in your favorite Fringe gear or your dog that you've always wanted to bring to Fringe," said Orlando Fringe development director Lisa Hardt in announcing the program. "It could also be a gift for that Fringe-obsessed friend of yours, or whatever your creative heart desires."
Prices start at $50, and patrons will be able to take their cutouts home after the festival. For more information, go to bitly.com/FringeFanCutout or email Hardt at lisa@orlandofringe.org.

Other risk-reducing factors include mandatory masks and augmented sanitation and social-distancing guidelines, all now commonplace in Central Florida's theaters.
"We hired a COVID compliance officer so we understand how to give audiences as many opportunities to experience the festival as possible at their individual comfort level," said executive director Alauna Friskics in the festival announcement. "We will come together safely and celebrate."
World premiere: Composer turned to 'Death' after beating cancer
There are multiple reasons Opera Orlando's "Death of Ivan Ilych" is special. But the most special for composer John Young is that he's alive to see it.
The Fringe had hoped to celebrate its 30th festival in a bigger way but is still planning online videos and other events to build buzz leading up to the event.
Digital streaming also will play a role after the in-person festival ends in May. Each show will have the chance to be recorded and then presented as part of DigiFringe, a new online version of the fest.
In partnership with The Imagination House, DigiFringe will run June 4-18 and also include shows by artists not able to attend the festival in person. Performers from outside the United States were particularly challenged by coronavirus travel restrictions.
"There will be fewer international artists," when compared to years past, Taylor said. "They just can't get here."
The Visual Fringe usually displays its work throughout the festival, such as this 2014 display inside the Lowndes Shakespeare Center. This year's Visual Fringe will be online. (Matthew J. Palm / XX)
Visual Fringe, the organization's art show, also will be presented online to avoid congestion at the festival, the same rationale used for delivering drinks from the festival bars to patrons' tables.
"They'll stay at their seats, and we'll bring it to you," Taylor said.
Nearly 75,000 people attended 2019′s record-setting festival, though far fewer are expected this spring. Of particular concern to performers: The reduced seating capacity in the venues will make it more difficult for them to recoup the investment in their shows. The actual number of tickets that will be available still has not been calculated.

"We want to fill as many seats as we can, but safely," Friskics said. "We are operating in full compliance with safety guidelines. We're tracking these guidelines day by day to see how many patrons can safely attend each show."

During the festival, all money earned from ticket sales goes to the performers.
"Hearing firsthand from artists about how hard the pandemic has hit them was the biggest driving force in moving forward with our festival this year," Friskics said. "Getting artists back on stage while maintaining high standards of safety and sanitation is the top priority for us."
You won't see fliers, brochures and other paraphernalia that could be passed around at the Orlando Fringe Festival this year, as you did on this display in 2015. (Stephen M. Dowell / Orlando Sentinel)
The Fringe reduced the fee that performers pay to participate, she said. But still, artists may face new challenges, such as generating the word-of-mouth that can drive ticket sales. Promotional fliers and playbills — any item that can be touched or passed around — will be banned. Show and schedule information will be posted online at orlandofringe.org, and other promotional advertising will be displayed on video screens.
New 'Rabbit Hole' tickets plus free family fun, more | Arts notes
If, like the White Rabbit, you were running late and therefore didn't snag a ticket to Creative City Project's "Down the Rabbit Hole," there's good news: New dates have been added to the schedule.
The festival's Brown venue — a rehearsal space inside the Lowndes Shakespeare Center — will not host shows, and four long-running festival satellite locations will be out of play, as well. Savoy Orlando and The Center won't be able to participate because of the reduced-capacity rules. The Breakthrough Theatre of Winter Park closed its physical location in 2020, and the Black venue, an independent theater owned by Blue Star, was demolished as part of a redevelopment project.

However, Häos on Church — Star's new venture on Church Street — will stage shows during the festival, as will The Abbey on Eola Drive.
Taylor said despite the changes the Fringe would remain true to its spirited roots.
"We want to honor, reflect on and celebrate the last 30 years," she said. "But in safe and socially distant ways."

If asked, most students will mention their outdoor education experience as a special highlight of their life at Concordia Lutheran College.
Outdoor education as a tool for student development is embedded across the Middle and Senior learning journey at Concordia Lutheran College. Our outdoor education program has been designed to foster personal, spiritual and social development in our students.
Strategically delivered outdoor education experiences range from day camps to a four week experience that places students outside their comfort zone and stimulates personal growth.
Students emerge from their outdoor education experiences with new strengths, an enhanced sense of purpose, unshakable friendships, an understanding of the value of teamwork and a mature sense of their relationship with God.
Outdoor education aims to give students the opportunity to learn outside the classroom and to cope with the pressures of life such as dealing with responsibilities, failure and success.
Students experience a bush lifestyle and experience time spent away from the comforts of home.
Other benefits include learning to appreciate their families, gaining a better understanding of self, making new friends, heightening acceptance of others and developing new skills.
Each year, Concordia's Year 9 classes spend four weeks at Googa Outdoor Education & Christian Retreat, undertaking a program administered by teachers and outdoor education specialists.
There is an emphasis on physical tasks including hiking, orienteering, abseiling, rock-climbing, canoeing, gardening and basic survival tasks such as cooking, cleaning and washing.
Each student's mind and spirit is also exercised through initiative activities, problem solving games and periods of quiet reflection.
During the outdoor education experience, there are no radios or televisions, electronic devices, soft drinks or sweets. Surprisingly, students often appreciate "getting away from it all", making their own entertainment and enjoying the quiet of the bush.
The Outdoor Education experience is a compulsory element of the Year 9 curriculum at Concordia.

Confess! It's Time To Change Jobs!
OK. Here's one scenario that says it's time to change jobs. It's Sunday night.
You're dreading getting up in the morning and facing another week. When you get to work you're bored. Or maybe your boss has become a revolving pain. Or you got stepped over for a promotion or raise. Maybe you just hate it. There can be lots of reasons why it's time to change jobs.
But the most important one is what you feel in your gut. Something tells you it's time. But then it strikes you . . . I've got to find another job.
That means I have to pull up stakes and start all over in another situation. It means taking a risk that I'm a little squeamish about. It means uncertainty. So, you find there are a lot of reasons NOT to change jobs. This is a dilemma that most people face who are considering the option to change jobs. So, you're not alone.
The question is how to resolve the dilemma and come to an intelligent, satisfying solution. Fortunately there are many things you can do to arrive at a reasonable decision. 1.
Don't do anything immediately no matter how tense your situation is. You can ease your mind by making the decision to change jobs intelligently . . . as soon as YOU'RE ready. 2.
Do your homework. Consider the possibility that there are other opportunities within your organization. If you're determined to look outside, begin to explore other organizations where there's a potential match between your interest and their needs.
3. Re-evaluate your own capabilities and assets. They probably differ a good deal from the last time you were in the market. Do not rely on the information in your old resume to dictate your assets. Rather, do a bottom up review of your accomplishments both in and out of your job description.
Remember, employers these days want to know what you can do for them . . .
not what you used to do for someone else. 4. Identify people who can serve you as career partners. These are relative, friends, neighbors, business leaders, community leaders, religious leaders.
people you do business with. All of the folks are in a position to help you by giving you advice, recommending employers and even introducing you to prospective employers. 5.
Test market yourself and your qualifications. Utilize these career partners to fine tune your image, resume, presentation, options, etc. These important tasks will position you in the job marketplace so that when you're ready to change jobs, you've got a track to run on. You'll be way ahead of the game while at the same time assuring yourself that you're making an intelligent move.

New Moon Found by NASA In Our Solar System
dericiousknitty April 28, 2016 Eyes to See, NASA
"Moon over Makemake" sounds like a novel or painting, but actually represents a NASA announcement of the discovery of a companion for the third largest (and second brightest) dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt. The announcement strengthens the hypothesis that most dwarf planets have moons, while also making Pluto look somewhat less special.
The Kuiper Belt stretches from Neptune's orbit to 50 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. Until 2000, it was thought to contain just Pluto, its moon Charon, and some comets, but recently many new inhabitants have been revealed. Moons have already been found around Eris, the second largest known resident of the belt, and smaller Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs).
Now the Hubble Space Telescope has added S/2015 (136472), nicknamed MK2, to the list. So far very little is known about MK2. It is thought to be about 160 kilometers (100 miles) across, and is about 1,300 times fainter than Makemake itself. However, its orbital characteristics are as yet unknown.
MK2 is barely visible above Makemake in this Hubble image. NASA, ESA, and A. Parker and M. Buie (SwRI)
Once the orbit is measured we will be able to calculate Makemake's mass (using the fact that the orbital period depends on distance and mass). Since we already have a fair idea of Makemake's size, 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) across, this will provide an estimate of its density, and therefore composition. Astronomers are keen to know how much it differs from Pluto, other than in size.
It is already known that Makemake, like Pluto, is covered in frozen methane, but we know nothing about what lies beneath. Pluto has an average distance of 39.5 AU from the Sun, while Makemake is 45.7 AU.
The orbit will also be indicative of MK2's origins. An elongated orbit would suggest that it is another KBO that Makemake captured at some point, while a nearly circular orbit would suggest that, like our own Moon, it is made of up debris that was knocked off in a collision with something larger.
Giant Earth-based telescopes can detect far fainter objects than the relatively small Hubble Telescope, but they have more difficulty finding something faint when it is lost in the glare of a relatively bright object like Makemake. In addition to this, Hubble may have got a little bit lucky with this observation, which was made in April 2015 but only just announced.
"Our preliminary estimates show that the moon's orbit seems to be edge-on, and that means that often when you look at the system you are going to miss the moon because it gets lost in the bright glare of Makemake," said Dr. Alex Parker of the SouthWest Research Institute in a statement.
Makemake has puzzled astronomers previously, because it appeared to have patches warmer than the rest of the icy world. However, it now seems likely that these "patches" were in fact detections of MK2 in telescopes unable to separate the two worlds. MK2 is warmer than its parent because its surface is very dark, absorbing more heat. The difference in color may be a result of MK2 having too little gravity to hold onto the methane, which most of the time remains frozen on the surface of Makemake, but may sometimes turn to gas.

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), in partnership with the City of Toronto, is undertaking maintenance works on existing shoreline erosion control structures along Lake Ontario within Bluffer's Park in order to protect against the hazards of shoreline erosion and address public safety concerns.
The project area is located in Bluffer's Park, at 1 Brimley Road South, at the base of Brimley Road in Scarborough, City of Toronto. The area of concern includes the southernmost headland and adjacent beach, located at the southwest limits of the park on the north shore of Lake Ontario.

Bluffer's Park was built as part of a large lakefilling operation from the early 1960s to mid 1970s, and includes a series of armourstone headlands, beaches, and revetments for erosion control protection. The landform has been used as a public park since its construction, and features formal walking trails, public beaches, marinas, and open green spaces that overlook Lake Ontario. The project area includes the southernmost headland and its adjacent beach; the headland is lined by an armourstone revetment and the beach is constructed of a mix of cobble, gravel, and concrete rubble material.

In 2006, TRCA began conducting annual inspections of the structures within Bluffer's Park as a part of the Erosion Risk Management Program (ERMP). The ERMP has assessed the headland structure as at-risk since 2010, and in failing condition since 2015. The beach has been listed as a failing structure since 2010. In 2017, a weak spot was identified at the southern tip of the headland, where continued wave action resulted in the loss of much of the structure material.

On April 14-15 2018, the Toronto Region experienced a severe ice storm which caused extreme wave action in Lake Ontario. The waves caused significant damage to the headland and beach, washing large amounts of stone material into the lake and onto the park tableland, and scouring the shoreline. The wave activity from the storm resulted in the complete collapse of the weakened portion of the headland. The headland has been closed off to the public as it is a safety hazard in its current condition.

In the spring of 2018, TRCA retained Riggs Engineering Limited to develop engineered design solutions for repair of the damaged structures. An interim design to temporarily stabilize the headland while a long-term solution can be developed is currently underway. The interim solution will be focused on the displaced portion of the headland and will utilize material that can be incorporated into the long-term solution. The long-term solution will include repair of the whole headland as well as the adjacent beach.
Interim works were completed in January 2019 and involved the placement of armourstones in the large failure section and in nearby voids. These works were designed to provide temporary protection to the parkland for the winter and spring months when ice and wave action place the structure at increased risk for further damage. The interim solution is intended to prevent further damage to the park until the long-term solution can be implemented.
The scope of work for 2019 includes the completion of detailed designs for the long-term solution, which will include the repair of the headland and the adjacent beach. Implementation of repairs for the headland portion of the project area is scheduled for Summer 2019. All necessary permits and approvals will be obtained for the implementation of works prior to construction. headland to stabilize the structure while a long-term solution is developed. Implementation of repairs for the beach portion of the project area tentatively scheduled for the Summer of 2020.
Construction details will be updated when Phase II of the project begins in summer 2019. Until construction commences, the headland will remain closed to ensure the safety of park users. The closed area is shown in the following map.
Notices of Construction were published in the October 18, 2018 edition of the Scarborough Mirror and the October 30, 2018 of the Bluffs Monitor to inform the public of the project and construction timelines. To see the notice, follow the link below.
Notices of Project Commencement signs were installed at the project site prior to construction of the Phase I. The signs were removed in January 2019 following completion of the interim works. To see the notice, follow the link below.
Construction fencing has been installed, restricting access to the headland and the access route as shown in the Notice of Construction. Materials have begun to be delivered to site.

Q: The locus of vertex of a parabola, given that an orthogonal intersection is made with another having specified latus rectum and orientation. Full Question:
A variable parabola of fixed latus rectum 4b and having axis parallel to x–axis, lies completely in Ist and IVth quadrant and cuts the fixed parabola $y^2=4ax$ orthogonally. The locus of vertex of the variable parabola is (and on what inputs is it valid)?
My attempt:
The variable parabola was assumed as $(y-k)^2=4b(x-h)$ , the primary being $y^2=4ax$.
Let $(at^2,2at)$ be point of intersection. I found the derivatives at the desired point.
let $f'(x)=1/t$ and $g'(x)=\frac{2b}{2at-k}$
Putting the product as negative 1, we get $2at^2-tk+2b=0$
I say that only one t exists, then $D=0$ which gives me the final result $|y|=4\sqrt{ab}$
BUT
when I use it as the locus of the vertex. it only satisfies for a unique value, i.e. $x=0$. My question is how do I prove that it's only possible for $x=0$. My provided solution maybe wrong, feel free to use your method as well.

A: Imposing only one solution for $t$ is not requested: it may well happen that for a given value of $k$ two different values of $t$ (and thus of $h$) be found.
Your approach is correct, but you forgot that your goal is that of finding vertex $(h,k)$ as a function of $t$, and from your equation $2at^2-tk+2b=0$ one immediately gets:
$$
k=2at+{2b\over t}.
$$
To find $h$ just use
$$
h=x-{(y-k)^2\over4b}=at^2-{b\over t^2}.
$$
These are then the parametric equations of the locus.
Notice that the parabolas, if $a\ne b$, also have another intersection point, where they are not orthogonal: probably the text of the problem should have mentioned that, to avoid confusion.
EDIT.
You can see below a diagram, with $a=1$ (black parabola) and $b=4$ (red parabola). Parabolas meet at $P=(4,4)$, where they are orthogonal (dashed lines are the tangents at $P$), but they also meet at $Q$. Green curve is the locus of vertex $V$ as $P$ varies on the black parabola: as you can see, for a given value of $k$ there are in general two possible values for $h$.
Note also that focus $F'$ of the variable parabola lies on line $PF$ (this is required by orthogonality). It is in fact possible to construct focus $F'$ (and vertex $V$) in a purely geometrical way.

Pre-Pandemic Conspiratorial Mindset Predicted Hesitance to Accept Covid-19 Vaccine
A new study finds that acceptance of pre-pandemic conspiracy theories has an association with acceptance of Covid-19 conspiracy theories.

Scholars have found that acceptance of Covid-19-related conspiracy theories is associated with hesitance to take a Covid-19 vaccine. But data gathered during the pandemic about belief in Covid-specific conspiracy theories cannot determine whether what is at play are conspiracy beliefs that the hesitant individuals held prior to the advent of the pandemic.
Now, a new panel study published in the open-access journal Scientific Reports by researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center addresses that question. The study shows that people who evinced a conspiracy mentality in 2019, prior to the pandemic, were subsequently more likely to believe Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Individuals who held conspiracy theories on topics such as the fluoridation of the public water system and the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks were those most likely to report in 2021 believing that, for example, the coronavirus was created by the Chinese as a bioweapon or that Bill Gates was malevolently involved in the design of Covid vaccines.
These individuals were also more likely in January 2021 to report hesitance to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
"By reinterviewing individuals before and then during the pandemic, we are able to determine the forms of belief that predisposed some in the United States to be wary about the Covid vaccines long before the pathogen appeared on our shores," said co-author Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of the University of Pennsylvania. "We found that having a conspiracy mindset played an important role."
Dan Romer, the lead author and APPC's research director, said: "The findings illustrate the importance of finding ways to undercut a conspiracy mindset in general and conspiracies about health-related matters specifically."
The panel survey
The researchers reinterviewed a nationally representative panel in 2021 that had been created in 2018 to study sources of resistance to vaccination. There were 3,000 U.S. adults in the panel at baseline, and the researchers were able to re-interview 1,243 panel members in January 2021, soon after the 2020 presidential election and after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization for Covid-19 vaccines.
The panel had been surveyed regarding several possible sources of hesitancy that predated the pandemic, such as a lack of trust in the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), acceptance of misinformation about the safety and efficacy of other vaccines such as the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine, and the tendency to believe in conspiracy theories that challenged the credibility of health authorities and the government. When all three of these factors were included in a model to predict Covid-19 vaccination hesitancy in 2021, trust in health authorities and acceptance of misinformation in 2019 played a less significant role in predicting hesitance than did the tendency to believe in conspiracies, also known as a conspiratorial mindset.
Although several new forms of misinformation about the vaccines for Covid arose in 2020, such as the claim that the Covid vaccine changes one's DNA, those beliefs were more likely to be accepted by those with a conspiratorial mindset. These individuals were more likely to integrate the new misinformation about Covid-19 vaccination with the old misinformation about vaccination in general and about specific vaccines such as the MMR and flu vaccines.
The conspiracy mindset and the Covid vaccine
The figure below shows the relation between conspiracy mindset as measured in 2019 and likelihood to receive the Covid vaccine in 2021. Individuals who were more likely to believe in conspiracy theories and have a conspiracy mindset in 2019 were the least likely to be willing to vaccinate in 2021.
The survey found that approximately 20% of the panel was prone to accept conspiracy theories in 2019 when the mindset was measured by asking if respondents believed such conspiracy theories as that the fluoridation of public water supplies is a plot to dump hazardous waste, and that the 9/11 attacks were planned by the U.S. government. In 2021, a different measure was used that asked about more generic forms of conspiracy, such as whether our lives are controlled by plots hatched in secret places. Respondents who tended to accept the first set of conspiracies were also likely to accept the latter, more generic conspiracies, even though they were measured two years apart.
Other factors that predicted a willingness to be vaccinated against Covid were concerns about the risks of contracting Covid and the willingness to take the flu vaccine. Both predictors were also negatively associated with conspiracy thinking two years earlier.
The researchers also examined changes in the conspiratorial mindset from 2019 to 2021. They found that the political conflict that surrounded the pandemic, with Republicans more resistant to vaccination and Democrats more accepting, also seemed to increase conspiracy theory acceptance among some. Specifically, Republicans and those who relied on conservative media such as Fox News were more likely to accept conspiracy theories in 2021 than they had been in 2019. The opposite was true for Democrats, who were more likely to use mainstream media and became less willing to endorse conspiracies.
Other differences in tendencies to oppose vaccination appeared to moderate over the course of the pandemic. For example, older adults were less likely to believe misinformation about vaccines in 2021 than they had been in 2019. Similar shifts occurred for more educated and higher-income respondents.
"The major implication of our findings," the authors write, "is that efforts to encourage acceptance of Covid-19 vaccines will hinge not only on providing information about their efficacy and safety from sources audience members find credible but also [on] improving knowledge of vaccination in general." One strategy they suggest is to focus on increasing the knowledge level of those who are unsure about whether misinformed claims are accurate or not, rather than concentrating on dislodging already held misbeliefs, which is a more difficult task. They also suggest increasing transparency about the potential harms of vaccines and highlighting statements in support of vaccination from presumed conspiracy promoters such as former President Trump.
"Conspiratorial thinking as a precursor to opposition to COVID-19 vaccination in the US: a multi-year study from 2018 to 2021" was published online Nov. 3, 2022, in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.
