Gustav (Gustaw) Ritter von Piotrowski, senior (* 1. März 1833 in Tarnów, Galizien, Österreich-Ungarn; † 31. Dezember 1884 in Krakau) war ein polnisch-österreichischer Physiologe.

Leben und Wirken
Gustav Piotrowski senior, Sohn eines Rechtsanwaltes und Gutsbesitzer in Tarnów, besuchte die Schule in Wien und in seinem Geburtsort. Nach dem Abitur studierte er von 1851 bis 1856 Medizin in Wien. Anschließend arbeitete er kurze Zeit am physiologischen Institut der Universität Krakau, ehe er bei dem Physiologen Ernst Wilhelm Ritter von Brücke in Wien zum Dr. med. promoviert wurde. Danach versuchte er, seine Kenntnisse in Chemie und Physik zu verbessern, um anschließend selbst Physiologe zu werden. 1857 begab er sich dazu nach Göttingen und arbeitete zunächst bei dem Chemiker Friedrich Wöhler und später bei dem Physiker Wilhelm Weber.

Als er 1858 die Georg-August-Universität Göttingen verließ, ernannte ihn die Burschenschaft Hannovera zum Ehrenmitglied. Anschließend in Heidelberg war Gustav Piotrowski ein halbes Jahr bei dem Chemiker Robert Bunsen tätig, ehe er für sechs Monate Assistent des Physikers Hermann von Helmholtz war. Nach der Habilitation in Krakau wurde er dort 1859 außerordentlicher und ein Jahr darauf ordentlicher Professor der Physiologie.

Sechsmal war er Dekan der Medizinischen Fakultät; zeitweilig gehörte er auch der mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät an. Im Wintersemester 1873/74 war er Rektor der Jagiellonen-Universität. Außerdem gehörte er der Landesprüfkommission für Ärzte an.

Er war Mitglied der Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften sowie der Landwirtschaftsgesellschaft in Krakau und wurde in das Amt des Kurators der Landwirtschaftlichen Oberschule in Czernichów in der Nähe von Krakau berufen. Abgesehen von einigen Forschungen auf dem Gebiet der Experimentalphysik erstreckte sich seine wissenschaftliche Tätigkeit auf die Physiologie, zumal es ihm gelang, ein neues Institut für Physiologie an der Universität Krakau errichten zu lassen.

Eine von ihm entdeckte Eiweißkörperreaktion wurde später nach ihm "Piotrowski-Reaktion" benannt. Die Ergebnisse seiner Forschungen veröffentlichte er teils in deutsch, teils in polnisch. 1864 brachte er das erste Lehrbuch der Physiologie in polnischer Sprache heraus.
Als Gutsbesitzer im Wahlkreis Tarnów wurde er 1870 für vier Jahre in den Sejm (Galizischer Landtag) in Lemberg gewählt. Von 1870 bis 1873 gehörte er zugleich als gewähltes Mitglied dem Reichsrat in Wien an.

Thankful for a Covenant Experience
History of Celebrate Christmas
Last semester, an eager previewer asked a question that caught me off guard: "What would you change about Covenant?" This earnest question from a high school senior terrified me not only because that is such a difficult question to answer authentically in front of a hundred previewers, parents and admission counselors, but also because that was the very question I pestered students with on college tours four years ago.
In that moment, I must admit that I froze and told a half-truth to the room full of prospective students. I said that I wished Covenant were closer to home (which I do) and that I missed my siblings (also true), but I avoided the real question. Over Christmas break, this question of "What would you change about Covenant?" somewhat haunted me, and caused me to do some self-reflection about myself and my time on the mountaintop these past three and a half years.
Here's what I wish I would have said: There are no perfect places, but there are good places. Covenant is a good place, but not a perfect one, and that is okay.
I wish I would have told that high school senior what I wish someone would have told me four years earlier—that there would be nights where dinner in the Great Hall was disgusting and that there would be assignments that you didn't understand the point of. There would be people who rubbed you the wrong way and friends who didn't acknowledge you after freshman year. There would be a weird dating culture and this looming thing called "SIP." There would be chapel talks that made you angry, and an abundance of insecurity, loneliness, and questioning. There would even be PSE 152 (the required health class now labelled HPE 152).
I also wish I would have said that there will be classes that would change everything. That Dr. Kapic would make you cry with his prayers to start class. That there would be countless million-dollar sunsets. That there would always be donuts on Day of Prayer. That the chapel worship team would be incredible. There would be O-shows, and Spring Formals, and Jazz on the Overlook. Screaming reunions after Thanksgiving break, and Around Founders. Legendary pranks and campus-wide pillow fights and Saturday night soccer games. Prayers said together every Sunday night. That there would be people here who care about you, who celebrate your successes with you and sit on the floor with you and cry bitter tears. That there would be deep laughter and joy.
I wish I would have told that room full of 17-year-olds that Jesus moves and works here in this place. In Hugh Smith's short history of Covenant College, "Castle in the Clouds," edited by Linda Smith '66, he talks about how Covenant came to be on Lookout Mountain in 1964. Covenant just didn't happen to get this property, to obtain Carter Hall. The college's founders sent postcards of Carter Hall around the country asking people to pray that Covenant would acquire the property. Lookout Mountain residents met together and prayed that this property would be used for God's glory. When Covenant put in an asking bid significantly lower than the asking price, the owners accepted the bid and sold it to them.
So, as much as I grumble and complain and have legitimate things that I would like to see changed at 14049 Scenic Highway, this place, this broken beautiful mountaintop experience, was God-ordained. Without God, Covenant wouldn't be here. God cares deeply about Covenant and He cares deeply about our time here, as beautiful or as hard as it is. In this immensely weird and condensed semester, in a season of loss and uncertainty, I urge you dear brothers and sisters to remember the Lord's faithfulness to this place and to His people. Covenant isn't a perfect place, and that's okay.

New Protocols Introduced for Winter Sports
Malaak McDonald
Students play basketball during the school day while wearing masks at all times. Stringent COVID-19 protocols are expected to continue as sports move indoors for the winter.
Malaak McDonald, Production Head
The Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) winter sports season is slated to begin this December, with some adaptations to ensure the health of all the coaches, athletes, and spectators involved.
Vaccines are required for all eligible student-athletes. Medical exemptions are allowed, but religious exemptions are not.
At this point in the year, it's too early to make decisive calls about how the winter season will go, but there are some broad plans in place. Everyone is to wear a mask at all times, except for instances like during certain cheerleading stunts.
More protocols will be implemented when safety regulations are clear. However, a lot can happen before tryouts, starting Nov. 15, and between then and the official season's start in December.
"The issue is everyone wants the answer now, which I get. I want the answer now, too, so I can plan for it," athletic director Michael Hayes said.
Once the county can give more definite information, Rockville High School's athletic department can decide how to meet protocols.
"There's no sense in trying to come up with all these creative things, we don't know what the barriers are yet," Hayes said.
Students must be fully vaccinated by Nov. 15 in order to try out. In order to be fully vaccinated by then, a final COVID vaccine should be received by Nov. 1.
The Maryland Department of Health and State Board of Education's joint COVID-19 guidance allows for school systems to implement their protocols, and the MCPS vaccine mandate complies with that.
One of the core values of the MCPS athletics department, per the MCPS athletics website, is "Spirited & Safe Competition." MCPS has been working to continue to hold sports in a way that upholds that value.
"I, myself, am going to follow every protocol that's passed to me," said Hayes. "This isn't a place to embark [sic] our opinion."

Q: How to find all paths from node and filter by relationship property? I have a graph like this:

I want to find all path from given node with relationship property(each node has param id). Relationship RELATED_TO has property type.
The logic from 10 to 1(through 3): 10 ->(type: type1) 5 ->(type: type1) 3 ->(type: type1) 1
The logic from 10 to 1(through 2): 10 ->(type: type1) 5 ->(type: type1) 2 ->(type: type2) 1;
Example:

*

*node.id: 10

*rel.type: type1
Expected output: 10 -> 5 -> 3 -> 1 and 10 -> 5 -> 2
How to write the cypher?

A: Supposing by rel.type you mean there is a type property on your RELATED_TO relationships and you want to ensure the value is type1 and also assuming that when you mean node:10 it means the node with id 10, you can do it with the following query :
MATCH path=(n)-[r:RELATED_TO* {type: 'type1'}]->(o)
WHERE id(n) = 10
RETURN path

A: One option is to use APOC plugin:
MATCH (n:Node{key: 10})
CALL apoc.path.expandConfig(n, {
    relationshipFilter: "RELATED_TO>"
})
YIELD path
RETURN nodes(path)

Faith Focus: Generosity begets generosity
As Uyless Bland walked out to the mound at Globe Life Park in Arlington for Buckner Day at the Rangers, he had an entire city behind him.
The 18-year-old knows what it's like to need that support. In 2013, his home in Goliad, Texas, burned down just days before Christmas. Bland, his mother and two brothers had nowhere to go.
The small yet motivated Goliad community rallied around the Blands to help them and within two days, they had "everything we needed except for a house," Bland said. "It was so humbling. You're just used to having everything you need and then it's gone. It's like restarting."
In response to their generosity, Bland wanted to help others as well. He recently completed his Eagle Scout project by collecting shoes to give to Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls®.
"I really liked the message of (Buckner)," Bland said. "You're helping people who need to be helped. I feel like everybody should take part in that."
Goliad has one high school with about 400 students. There is one grocery store, and one medical practice. Bland put shoe collection boxes at every church, school, bank and business in town.
He received 554 pairs. Collecting that many shoes meant one of nearly every five people in town gave a pair.
Like it was Bland, the natural response of being on the receiving end of extraordinary generosity is generosity toward others. That truth hits at the heart of Christianity.
The love and sacrifice of a perfect God makes it possible for imperfect people like us to have a relationship with him. We are on the receiving end of a sacrifice that was so great, it covers the sins of all humanity. We are on the receiving end of grace that we don't deserve.
Naturally, we're grateful. And we want to tell others about God's grace, love and sacrifice. The most natural way to do that is through modeling the kind of extraordinary generosity to others that God showed us.
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. - Ephesians 2:10
Deeper reflection:
What words would you use to describe God's generosity in your life?
What are some ways you can model that kind of generosity in your relationships with other people?
Next steps:
Take one act of extraordinary generosity this week.

We rely on our members' support to cover the costs associated with organizing and running the group. These include not just the cost of maintaining the website and bringing snacks to meetings but since woodworking often involves being in the presence of sharp objects, we need to have group insurance. Also, though most of our speakers thus far have come to the group for no money, we would like to be able to at least cover their costs of coming to present to the group. To accomplish all of this, we ask for your help.
While membership is not required to attend our meetings, your contribution demonstrates that you value what the group has to offer and helps ensure that we can continue to grow the woodworking community.

This is my first time posting my earnings on Adsense, or should I say its my highest earnings for a month so far? Haha!
Last month m3nghua.com had 3048 page impressions which received 61 clicks (only.. sob sob). The total earnings including Adsense for search is $9.61. Although its such a small amount but I quite happy with the progress. The rectangular ads under each single post received the highest clicks of all which it did help a lot. This shows that the ads under a post attracts more attention from visitors. Why didn't I try it before this? Sigh.. I really hope I can get my Adsense cheque as soon as possible. My first one though.. I haven't receive a single cheque from Adsense after blogging for more than 1 year. Big failure I guess..
Congrats man, onwards and upwards.
Aim for $30USD next month.
ermm.. i think you are not suppose to show your earnings. Adsense don't like it and might ban you.
AhPek, is it true that Adsense will ban me if i show the earnings? omg.. I really don't know about it..
Actually you can show the earnings, but not CTR or eCPM or any averages, you should pixelate those out.
You can show daily and monthly earning.
So pixelate middle 3 columns in above pic should be fine, leave impressions and earnings.
Edited! Thanks a lot ShaolinTiger..
frankly, nobody knows what exactly google TOS mean. So to be on the safe side, i really do advice you to remove the earnings just in case. You see all these other bloggers, if they show a photo of a cheque, they will try to blank out the amount. google has been known to be harsh on bloggers, so every tiny things you do, they can easily deem as violation of TOS. cheers.

Sports world reacts to Vanderbilt's Sarah Fuller making history
Yahoo Sports Staff
Vanderbilt's Sarah Fuller, right, kicks off as Ryan McCord (27) holds to start the second half against Missouri on Nov. 28. With the kick, Fuller became the first female to play in a Power Five football game. (AP)
Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller made history on Saturday when she kicked off for the Commodores to start the second half, becoming the first woman to play in a Power Five football game.
Fuller normally serves as a goalkeeper on Vanderbilt's women's soccer team, which she led to the Southeastern Conference title last weekend. She was added to the Commodores' roster after the team's other kickers were forced into COVID-19 quarantine, rendering them unavailable for Saturday's matinee at Missouri.
So Fuller got her shot and the sports world loved every minute of it.
With this kickoff, Sarah Fuller became the first woman to ever play in a Power Five football game 🙌

Sarah Fuller on making history: 'You can do anything you set your mind to'
Vanderbilt's offense was so bad that Fuller never got a chance to kick a field goal in the game. The Commodores had just 185 total yards and were never in field goal range in a 41-0 blowout.
But Fuller's kickoff to start the second half stamped her name into the history books and she had an inspiring message after the game.

PITTSBURGH — Jake Guentzel beat Ilya Samsonov in the fourth round of a shootout and the Pittsburgh Penguins picked up their first win of the season with a 4-3 victory over Washington on Sunday. Casey DeSmith turned aside 20 shots in regulation and overtime then turned aside T.J. Oshie, Nicklas Backstrom, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin in the shootout as the Penguins avoided their first 0-3 start since 2015-16. Evan Rodrigues, Colton Sceviour and Marcus Pettersson all scored their first goals of the season for Pittsburgh. Ovechkin got his 707th career goal to move within one of Hall of Famer Mike Gartner for seventh on the all-time list. Backstrom and Nic Dowd also scored for Washington, which was looking to begin the season 3-0 for the first time since 2011-12. Samsonov finished with 24 saves and turned aside Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin in the shootout but let Guentzel's wrister slip between his legs and the Penguins poured over the bench after a successful return to PPG Paints Arena after 316 days away. Pittsburgh came in reeling after opening the truncated season by getting swept in Philadelphia. Tristan Jarry, elevated to the team's No. 1 goaltender following the off-season trade of two-time Stanley Cup winner Matt Murray, allowed nine goals on the first 31 shots he faced. While coach Mike Sullivan remains confident Jarry will be fine, he turned to DeSmith to help Pittsburgh avoid the 0-3 start. Rodrigues beat Samsonov 19 seconds into the game to give the Penguins an early lead and DeSmith a little boost. Washington responded to move in front by the end of the period thanks in part to Tom Wilson, who helped set up Ovechkin's goal by knocking the stick out of Crosby's hands then forcing Pittsburgh defenceman John Marino into a turnover that eventually found its way to a streaking Ovechkin. Pittsburgh scrambled to tie it twice in the second. Sceviour took advantage when Samonsov got caught loafing after playing the puck behind the net. Teddy Blueger picked off the pass and fed it to a wide-open Sceviour in front for his first goal with the Penguins. Backstrom's tap-in power-play goal just past game's midway point restored Washington's advantage, but Pettersson uncharacteristically jumped into the play and hammered one home from the slot less than three minutes later to pull the Penguins even. The teams tightened up in the third period, though each missed opportunities during a wide-open three-on-three overtime. UP NEXT The teams finish their early two-game set on Tuesday. Their next games after that are on Feb. 14 and Feb. 16 in Pittsburgh. ___ More AP NHL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/NHL and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Will Graves, The Associated Press
ISTANBUL — Mesut Ozil said farewell to Arsenal teammates and flew to Turkey on Sunday to join Fenerbahce in a bid to reignite a once-flourishing career that faltered in London. The former Germany midfielder, who is of Turkish descent, hasn't played for Arsenal since March after falling out of favour with manager Mikel Arteta over concerns about the player's work rate. "I am very excited. I've said I'm a Fenerbahce fan. I am very happy to be coming to Fenerbahce," Ozil said in a telephone interview with Turkish broadcaster BBO Sports. "God has granted me the chance to wear the Fenerbahce uniform as a Fenerbahce fan. I will do my best for the team." The 32-year-old Ozil wasn't even included in Arsenal's Premier League squad for the season despite being one of the highest earners and has been ostentatiously tweeting his support for the team from his home during matches. Now Arsenal has managed to offload Ozil before his contract expires in June. Fenerbahce posted images of Ozil leaving London on a private jet on Sunday night. After 7 1/2 years at Arsenal, which he joined from Real Madrid, Ozil is heading to one of the favoured clubs of Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "Welcome to your home, your country dear @MesutOzil1088," Erdogan spokesman Ibrahim Kalin tweeted. Ozil posed for photos with Erdogan in May 2018 in the run-up to the Turkish general election — prompting serious criticism from German soccer officials and antagonizing some in Germany who felt the player wasn't fully behind the national team — while the president was an official witness at Ozil's wedding ceremony. Fenerbahce won the last of its 19 Turkish league titles in 2014. The team has not been in the Champions League group stage since a match-fixing scandal broke in 2011. Ozil's last match for Arsenal was in March, a week before soccer was suspended at the outbreak of the coronavirus, so he might not be match-sharp to start immediately for Fenerbahce. Ozil became ostracized by Arsenal just as Arteta was hired as manager in December 2019. The club distanced itself from Ozil standing up for Muslims in the Xinjiang province of China after he condemned the detention of more than 1 million Uighurs and other minorities in so-called re-education camps. A social media post from Ozil also denounced China for burning Qurans, closing mosques and the killing of religious scholars. Ozil's criticism of China led to Arsenal's match being pulled from Chinese television. The Chinese government accused Ozil of being "blinded and misled" and Arsenal said "the content he expressed is entirely Ozil's personal opinion" and stressed it was not getting involved as a club. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press
Vanderbilt's Sarah Fuller to take part in presidential inauguration
The history-making kicker and soccer player is expected to speak during the inauguration of Vice President Kamala Harris.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is inactive for the Kansas City Chiefs for their divisional playoff game against the Cleveland Browns, taking one dynamic playmaker away from Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champions. Edwards-Helaire returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Week 15 against New Orleans. But the dynamic first-round pick, who piled up 1,100 yards from scrimmage in just 13 games this season, did not work out on Thursday or Friday and was listed as questionable on the final injury report. That means Le'Veon Bell will start with Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson backing him up. Meanwhile, All-Pro right tackle Jack Conklin is active for Cleveland on Sunday after sustaining a hamstring injury in last week's wild-card win over Pittsburgh. Conklin didn't practice for two days before returning in a limited capacity Friday. Chiefs right tackle Mike Remmers is active after he was added to the injury report with an illness just 2 hours before kickoff. Remmers already is filling in for Mitchell Schwartz, who remains on injured reserve. Also inactive for the Chiefs are wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf) and linebacker Willie Gay Jr. (ankle), both of whom had been listed as out. Defensive back Rashad Fenton was questionable with an ankle injury but will not play Sunday, which means rookie L'Jarius Sneed will slide into the lineup when the Chiefs go to nickel and dime sets. Backup offensive lineman Martinas Rankin and defensive linemen Tim Ward and Khalen Saunders are also inactive. Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio is back for the Browns after missing last week's game with COVID-19, along with cornerbacks Denzel Ward and Kevin Johnson. As expected, linebacker B.J. Goodson is active despite a shoulder injury that limited him in practice, and tight ends Stephen Carlson (groin) and David Njoku (hamstring) are both available. The Browns left inactive wide receivers Marvin Hall and Alexander Hollins, cornerback Brian Allen, offensive lineman Alex Taylor, safety Jovante Moffatt, defensive end Joe Jackson and tight end Kyle Markway for their first divisional game since January 1995. ___ More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL Dave Skretta, The Associated Press
ISTANBUL — Canadian forward Cyle Larin played provider Sunday, helping set up league-leading Besiktas' insurance goal in stoppage time for a 2-0 win over Istanbul rival Galatasaray. French winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou was the beneficiary after a poor touch by Galatasaray' defender Christian Luyindama, attempting to cut out a Besiktas pass, sent the ball straight to Larin. The 25-year-old from Brampton, Ont., dribbled into the penalty box before unselfishly sending the ball to an unmarked Nkoudo to knock in in the 91st minute. Larin, who came into the game having scored six times in his previous three outings, is second in the Turkish Super Lig scoring race with 11 goals. He also has three goals in other competitions. Veteran Canadian midfielder Atiba Hutchinson also started Sunday for Besiktas, which went ahead in the 79th minute on a goal by Brazil's Josef de Souza. The game was played at Besiktas' Vodafone Park. Besiktas (12-4-2) pulled three points ahead of rival Fenerbahce in the league standings.

Man United stays top after drawing 0-0 at Liverpool
LIVERPOOL, England — Manchester United stayed top of the Premier League after drawing 0-0 on Sunday with Liverpool and extending the champion's winless run to four matches. Liverpool hasn't gone as long without a win since 2017, but Jürgen Klopp's team still maintained its unbeaten record at Anfield since the same year thanks to Alisson Becker's late saves from Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba. "We had two great chances and two great saves," United captain Harry Maguire said. "It was cagey but it was two good teams matching up. We found it difficult in the first half to get a rhythm to the game, the press was high." Thiago Alcantara's long-range effort was well saved by United goalkeeper David De Gea in the 78th minute as Liverpool failed to score for a third successive match. Liverpool, which had a makeshift defence due to injuries, stayed three points behind United, which is chasing its first title since 2013. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press

Never has so little curling action created so many headlines ahead of the national championships. With many teams, clubs and provincial playdowns on ice due to the pandemic, several curling associations have had to get creative in this most unusual season. Curling Canada is no exception. The national federation added two more wild-card teams to the field at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and Tim Hortons Brier to create 18-team competitions. "Unique circumstances call for unique solutions," read the top of last week's release announcing the news. The one-time switch will allow a few more highly ranked teams into the mix. Now the big question is who will get in and when can they pack their bags for the so-called bubble in Calgary. Many associations recently cancelled their championships and declared representatives. Other provinces and territories are planning to hold playdowns over the next few weeks. The big decision that will have a ripple-down effect on wild-card spots is expected soon. Curling Alberta cancelled its championships Jan. 8 but didn't declare representatives for nationals, pending a "decision by the organization's board of directors." Board members were scheduled to meet over the weekend to decide. An announcement will be made no earlier than Monday, executive director Jill Richard said in an email. Many member associations used last year's championship results to determine their representatives. Others considered recent results, rankings and standings for their picks. Normally at the Scotties and Brier, the top two teams in the Canadian rankings not already entered in the draw square off in a play-in game to become Team Wild Card. Curling Canada scrapped that setup for this season only and will instead give wild-card spots to the teams that would have played in the game, based on the 2019-20 final standings. The third wild-card spot - based on criteria to be determined - will get the final entry and create two even pools of nine teams each. Here's where it gets interesting and Alberta has a unique hammer. Brendan Bottcher is the reigning men's provincial champion. Kevin Koe was not in the playdowns last year since he had an automatic Brier berth as Team Canada. Jeremy Harty, meanwhile, has a slight lead on the second-place Koe in the provincial points race. Bottcher is ranked fourth in Canada, Koe is sixth and Harty is 15th. If Curling Alberta goes with an under-the-radar Harty pick, it would give the province a worthy representative and allow all three teams to enter rather than just two. Manitoba's Mike McEwen can rest easy in the No. 5 spot knowing he's in. If Bottcher is Team Alberta, McEwen and Koe are in as wild-card entries and No. 9 Glenn Howard is a potential pick for the third spot. If Koe wears provincial colours, Bottcher and McEwen would be wild-card entries. Howard would be a good bet for the third but the selection is not necessarily a slam dunk. If Harty gets the Alberta nod, Bottcher and McEwen would secure wild-card spots and Koe would be a virtual lock for the final berth. Boosting Harty's case was Nova Scotia's recent decision to give Jill Brothers the Scotties spot based on this season's standings. On the women's side, Laura Walker is the favourite to be named Team Alberta. The reigning provincial champion is ranked seventh in Canada and is second in the provincial standings. Alberta leader Kelsey Rocque, the Canadian No. 6, only has two returning members from last season, one short of the required minimum. The 3-of-4 rule also affects No. 10 Robyn Silvernagle of Saskatchewan, since she has two new players as well. Fifth-ranked Chelsea Carey, also of Alberta, is a free agent. Manitoba's Tracy Fleury is the only Scotties wild-card lock at No. 2. World junior champion Mackenzie Zacharias is in the mix at No. 11 along with fellow Manitoban Beth Peterson at No. 12. Suzanne Birt is a heavy favourite to win the two-team Prince Edward Island championship at the end of the month, but a loss would move her into a wild-card spot at No. 9. Like the men's pick, the third spot is a real guessing game, thanks in part to the uncertain criteria. A Curling Canada spokesman said the 3-of-4 rule will apply to the first two wild-card teams in each gender, but noted qualifying criteria for the third wild-card team won't be finalized until after all member associations have declared teams. That would appear to give teams in a 2-of-4 situation at least a little bit of hope. The veteran Howard, a four-time Brier champion, could very well get the men's spot. But it's also possible a youngster like No. 14 Tyler Tardi, a world junior champ from B.C., could get the selection. The third women's spot is also a crapshoot. Several worthy teams could be in the mix from Zacharias and Peterson to No. 19 Casey Scheidegger of Alberta, a perennial contender who has played a limited schedule over the last couple seasons. The Scotties is set for Feb. 19-28 at Markin MacPhail Centre. The Brier is scheduled for March 5-14 at the same venue on the grounds of Canada Olympic Park.

Audacious Ndombele goal caps Tottenham win at Sheffield Utd
SHEFFIELD, England — Tanguy Ndombele's audacious hooked shot completed Tottenham's 3-1 victory at Sheffield United on Sunday, giving Jose Mourinho's side a first away success in the Premier League in two months. Played in by a Steven Bergwijn chipped pass, Ndombele used the outside of his boot to lob goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and the ball landed in the far corner. It restored Tottenham's two-goal cushion in the 62nd minute after David McGoldrick glanced home John Fleck's cross three minutes earlier for the last-place team. Tottenham needed only five minutes to go ahead. Bergwijn saw his strike tipped over by Ramsdale and Serge Aurier headed in from Son Heung-min's resulting corner. After Son hit the post, Tottenham eventually got its second in the 40th through Harry Kane's 12th goal of the league campaign. The striker received the ball from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, then turned and drilled a low shot into the corner from the edge of the area. Spurs, who have thrown away 10 points from winning positions this season, might have been feeling nervy, but Ndombele came to rescue with his goal-of-the-season contender. "It was a good performance," Mourinho said. "Again, 2-0 at halftime was not enough for what we built, for what we created. "And again, a very, very basic mistake, 2-1 and the game is open again but a great mentality and an amazing action and incredible goal, but it should be a bigger result. There was good energy from the team, consistent, strong-minded, dominant, pressing a lot." Tottenham moved up to fourth ahead of fifth-place Manchester City, which plays Crystal Palace later Sunday. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press

The disagreement between the US and the other 19 countries at the recent G20 summit at Hamburg has put a question mark over the sustainability of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the primary tool to help developing countries move away from fossil fuels and adapt to climate change impacts.
Now that the US has walked out of the Paris Climate Agreement, it is not clear if other developed countries will continue to give USD 100 billion to the GCF every year from 2020, as they had pledged to do way back in 2009. The USD 100 billion per year figure is unlikely to be reached anyway, because the US part of that commitment, USD 3 billion per year, now stands withdrawn.
Despite this, there are question marks over the financial support that may be forthcoming from at least some other developed countries such Australia, New Zealand and Japan. These countries have consistently aligned with the US position in past climate negotiations since the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992. Now there are strong voices within these countries, warning that the US would effectively become a "free rider" if everybody else paid to combat climate change.
On their part, large developing countries including China, India, Brazil and South Africa made an informal decision not to seek further GCF funding, at least till the situation becomes clearer. This was not a part of any communiqué, but climate negotiators confirmed the development, saying these emerging economies had left the field open for Less Developed Countries (LDCs) to apply for the bulk of GCF funding. That will be a big help, and the GCF does have the money in its account to fund the current round of project proposals it is receiving, but not for a long time beyond that.
The Hamburg Climate and Energy Action Plan for Growth makes it clear that developed country governments are not in a position to provide anything close to USD 100 billion a year through public financing. The commitments are based largely on the hope of raising finances through public-private mechanisms and on multilateral development banks such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and so on.
Not surprisingly, this worry about long term financing as well as the gap between pledges and actual payments by developed countries figured prominently at the GCF board meeting, held at its headquarters in Songdo, South Korea, just a couple of days before the G20 summit.
The gap between a pledge and actual payment is most glaring in the case of the US, which has so far signed up to actually pay USD 0.5 billion out of the USD 3 billion it had pledged in 2016. Even that pledge had said the money would be paid "subject to the availability of funds". Larry McDonald, the US member of the GCF board, clarified that the US had actually paid USD 1 billion so far.
But other developed countries are not innocent either. There are huge differences between publicly stated pledges and privately provided "signed amounts", which is the money that actually reaches the GCF bank account. Current signed amounts total USD 10.1 billion, a far cry from the USD 100 billion pledge.
Many of the GCF board members from developing countries are worried because it is not very clear if the secretariat is counting the pledges as money that will be in the bank. Most observers feel there is an urgent need for the entire international climate financing process to become more transparent.

Good roads, bad drivers: Az interstates deadliest in nation, report says
Reporter profile

Posted Jul 16, 2020, 12:12 pm
Blake Freas Cronkite News
Arizona's interstate highways are in generally good shape, but they experienced the highest rate of fatalities in the nation in 2018, according to a national report released Tuesday.
The report by The Road Information Program said that Arizona recorded 1.09 highway deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled on the state's interstate highways in 2018, almost twice the national average of 0.58 deaths that year.
Authors of the TRIP report – titled "Restoring the Interstate Highway System" – used it as a call for more funding to rebuild and modernize the nation's 64-year-old interstate system, claiming that deteriorating roads pose a threat to commerce and to safety.
"Deteriorating conditions and fatality rate are because of poor funding," said Carolyn Bonifas Kelly, director of communications and research at TRIP.
But public and private officials in Arizona said it's not the roads that are the issue, it's driver behaviors.
"The problem is many acknowledge that it's wrong and dangerous and they do it anyway," said Aldo Vazquez, a spokesman for AAA Arizona. "People need to be aware of the consequences of dangerous driving and change course to prevent tragedy."
Research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety showed that drivers who have been in at least one crash in the past two years are significantly more likely to engage in risky behaviors like speeding or texting, even when they think the police may catch them.
The Arizona Department of Transportation pointed to its 2019 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts report, released two weeks ago, which showed traffic fatalities on all Arizona roads reached a three-year low in 2019. In a statement, ADOT also singled out risky behaviors in many of those crashes.

"From 2015 to 2019, 642 people were killed in crashes on interstates in Arizona. At least 43% of those killed were in crashes where speeding was a factor; at least 36% were killed in crashes where impairment was a factor and at least 41% of those killed weren't wearing a safety device (seat belt or a child safety seat)," according to the ADOT statement.
"These are preventable deaths and everyone needs to make better decisions behind the wheel," the statement said.
Kelly did not comment on Arizona specifically, but pointed to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration research that shows the roadways themselves contribute to one-third of all crashes nationwide.
The TRIP report said interstate highways are among the safest roads in the nation, and estimated that as many as 113 lives may have been saved in Arizona in 2018 because of safety features built into the interstates. But Rocky Moretti, TRIP's director of policy and research, said states still need to continue to make road safety improvements to the roads.
"We have an aging interstate system, routine repairs are not adequate," Moretti said.
That may not be easy: Moretti pointed to significant reduction in transportation revenue because of COVID-19, with TRIP estimating that $50 billion in highway funds will be lost nationwide over the next 18 months.
The TRIP report said that travel on Arizona's interstates grew 15% from 2000 to 2018 and that 12% of interstate travel in Arizona is by combination trucks. That makes keeping interstates up to par all the more important, with the introduction this month of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, said Arizona Chamber of Commerce President Glenn Hamer.
"The Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry believes that U.S. highway infrastructure must be modernized to support freight mobility and what we anticipate will be increased cargo volumes, especially in border states like ours," Hamer said in a statement with the report.

Hmmm, among all the pontificating over reasons for the double-the-national-average deaths on AZ interstates, we who live and drive between Phoenix and Tucson don't doubt the condition of the road, the continual road construction/repair that never ends, year after year; and the frequent narrowing into fewer lanes (between the 2 largest cities!) HAS to be a big part of the problem. I'd like to see the breakdown on which roads these deaths occur. Wanta bet?

A new study says that interstate highway in Arizona are in relatively good shape compared to the rest of the nation, but the state had the highest fatality rate among states in 2018. State officials say risky driver behaviors are likely to blame.

Canada Takes Steps to Initiate an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) Program (0)
Canada is working to improve border security by proposing the implementation of the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) requirement. Under this proposal citizens from countries other than the United States that do not currently require a visa to enter Canada will need to obtain online authorization before flying to Canada. The eTA requirement is expected to take effect as of April 2015. In addition to improving border security, the eTA is expected to benefit the nearly three million international air travelers who visit Canada every year.
Canada and the United States Become Partners in Security
As part of the Canada-United States Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness Action Plan, Canada and the United States are working together to establish a system that will screen out threats to national security before they arrive in the North American perimeter. The new plan will be similar to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which has been used successfully in the United States since 2008. As Canadian citizens are exempt from the ESTA requirement, U.S. citizens will be exempt form the eTA requirement.
While barring individuals who are inadmissible from entering Canada, eTA will facilitate travel for individuals who do not comprise a risk. For a small fee travelers will apply online and provide basic biographical information similar to the information that is currently collected when arriving at the border. By being pre-screened it is expected that travelers will experience faster processing upon arrival in Canada. In most cases the eTA will be granted within minutes of applying. Once an eTA is granted it will be valid for five years.

It's a terrifying thing, the prospect of boarding a plane with two babies or toddlers, while you are the person who must endure the daggers being stared at you by other travellers who are anticipating mayhem. Two babies (or toddlers) and a non-stop flight to a not-so-local destination do not a perfect scenario make.
As our lives became more hectic and lifestyles more busy, the traditional model of family also shifted. No longer were women staying at home, living out their lives as "domestic goddesses," and increasing numbers of men were shown to be not particularly handy when it came to making and fixing things, and that was okay. But now, our kids don't have those skills at all. What happened?
"Children need to be occupied, they need structure, they need predictability," the experts tell us. Heaven help you if you don't make sure to keep those sticky little hands busy between late June and Labour Day every year. After all, children need structure right? No they don't.
So what's a parent to do when they realize that their child, for whatever reason, is having difficulty making or maintaining friendships? No parent wants to feel that their child is missing out or... being shunned for one reason or another... Yet, this is the reality for too many children who face rejection on a daily basis.
We all have a journey towards our sense of self; for identical twins, the road to self-awareness both literally and figuratively, is particularly challenging. In the case of my kids and so many other identical twins.
Indeed, most instances of "faking it" are caused by the usual reasons, most of which are innocuous. It's the more insidious ones that we, as parents, need to be aware of so that we can address the causes at the basis of why our children are avoiding school.
There are no polarities when it comes to twins. No "good" one vs. "bad one;" no angelic child versus evil spawn, no duelling forces, vying for the top spot in their respective categories. There are just kids, warts, scabbed knees and all. Though the mythology and expectation of opposite-minded twin siblings is appealing to some, it is, fortunately, untrue.
The return to work will be made less stressful if you know that there's someone there that you can count on for support and a friendly ear. Ideally, it would be someone who can understand and empathize with the demands of being a working parent and in an ideal scenario, it may even be your boss.
Don't Make Santa Your Parenting "Fall Guy"
Sure, Santa may determine that a child's behaviour is not up to snuff and is therefore a reason to deny said child of gifts on Christmas Day. But why does Santa have to be the judge, jury and (figurative) executioner on December 25th? Whatever happened to parental responsibility and the ability to look one's child in the eye in an attempt to deliver the verdict?
It's fair to say that many teens love getting something for nothing. Free candy? It fits the bill. And every October 31, they fail to disappoint, showing up at the door, thrusting a bag in the direction of unwitting participants, sometimes without even uttering the agreed request -- sometimes, the words "Trick or Treat" aren't even mentioned.
With recent world events escalating in tandem with the ubiquitous 24/7 news cycle, it's almost impossible for a parent to completely limit the access to information that their children may have. Following are five tips for parents about how to calm their child's fears during these difficult times.
You think that kids of celebrities have it easy? Think again. Sting's surprising announcement that he's not leaving any of his vast fortune to his children was a shock to many. How could this multimillionaire leave his kids to have to *gasp* work for a living? It just didn't seem right.

Rhodochrosite forms as stalactites and stalagmites in caves and crevices deep underground. It is found in Argentina, Peru, Colorado, Montana and Quebec.

Tourmaline is the horoscope stone for Pisces and Gemini.
Tourmalines occur in a variety of colours ranging from magenta to teal blue. The name Tourmaline comes from Sinhalese (Sri Lanka) word tura mali, which translates as the stone of mixed colours.
Ancient legend states that tourmaline is the stone of many colours because of its travels along rainbows where it captured the rainbows' many beautiful colours.
Tourmalines are renowned for their detoxifying properties and their ability to boost the immune system.

10 Comments on Who's 'wrongdoing' what?
As a rule I try not to name private citizens. Elected officials are subject to scrutiny but private citizens are not. Likewise, I don't reference personal issues. But when private citizens use social media to accuse their fellow citizens and respected organizations of serious crimes, they forfeit that privacy. They become the news.
Last week i received several screen shots from a Facebook group called Hope Mills Chatter. It's the same private group that Commissioner Mitchell railed against in June and the same group operated by local resident Lisa Carter Waring.
This particular conversation occurred a few days ago between Commissioner Meg Larson, Al, Ferri, Lisa Carter Waring and David Messer. I want to point out 'the Chatter' is a private group and only visible to its members. As of today, their audience is more than 330 members.
Above his comment we see Lisa Waring stating the same thing. She makes a point to exclude the name of the individual, but adds the name of the company they believe is offering bribes for cheap land…LSF. This is of course…Lone Survivor Foundation.
I spoke with Tim Byrom, the President of the Board of Directors for Lone Survivor Foundation. Byrom is outraged that an elected official would be part of any conversation wherein LSF, a non-profit organization created to render healing to veterans with post traumatic stress disorder, and an organization with a stellar reputation nationwide, would be accused of offering bribes in exchange for discounts.
Byrom also said Teddy Warner would not be qualified for any position at LSF. Warner is a highly educated individual and a tremendous asset to this community…but he's not a veteran. In order to administer a local retreat or serve as an executive, any candidate must first have military experience.
Byrom also stated for the record that Warner never offered, suggested or implied he could secure any kind of discount on the land in Hope Mills.
Tim said, "We never discussed a price other than what they had on the tax rolls." This was during the June 4th presentation to the Hope Mills Board of Commissioners. Mayor Warner doesn't have a vote, but she asked the Board to consider donating the land to LSF. The land was neglected by the municipality for more than 50 years. In fact, it wasn't even included in the initial inventory of assets given to McAdams Group to assess.
"Mayor Pro Tem came back and said 'from an accounting standpoint we've been giving land away forever and we gave land away to the VFW'…later it came out they didn't give that land away." Byrom.
It would seem they're referring to election night 2017. Waring references that Commissioner Bellflowers asked for the investigation to go back 'six months prior to the commissioners learning about it' and they learned of LSF's proposal in early June.
Byrom assured me the three individuals Ferri refers to seeing near the lake bed on election night… were absolutely not any member of LSF. "We didn't know about this property in 2017." Byrom also said the property was always locked and they had to contact town staff every single time they wanted to access the property.
In fact, during the 7 1/2 months since the June presentation, Larson has used many reasons for not wanting to sell that land to LSF, but she's never mentioned Teddy Warner or any member of LSF meeting at the lake-bed in November of 2017…or any other time.
"I don't know why she would have ever been receptive to talking to us if she thought Teddy had some kind of collusion – that would have been the perfect time to bring that to bear, wouldn't you think?" added Byrom. He and the Lone Survivor Foundation moved on when the board rejected their last offer in October. He had no idea any of the commissioners were still having conversations about this issue or that these accusations had been levied against the organization.
To be clear, this allegation against the Warner family is just the most recent in a long line of false accusations they've faced over a six month period. It's not clear who's been fabricating the allegations, but there's evidence that several board members have worked tirelessly to research each one…without consent from the whole Board. Unfortunately, as each allegation proves false, the accusers simply move on to new conspiracy theories. The Warner's have been put in a situation where they have to defend themselves against an invisible enemy and a never-ending list of accusations. And while our system is based on the premise that you're innocent until proven guilty, the accusers have adopted the theory the Warner's are guilty while the accusers figure out what they're guilty of.
1. How much is the investigation going to cost? The Board voted to approve the investigation, without parameters. As of today, there's no time line and no salary cap. The investigator gets $275/hour but we're also paying his travel expenses and his assistant. They're interviewing the entire board and several staff members, but also reviewing nearly a year's worth of correspondence.
2. How will the results of the investigation be presented? The Board hasn't discussed the results at all. Will we pay for a report to be generated…or will we pay for a presentation? Either way, we know the board can't discuss this in closed session and the tax payers deserve to know what we paid for.
3. If the board doesn't like the direction the investigation is going, if for instance, the investigator exonerated Mayor Warner quickly but finds ample evidence of wrongdoing by other board members, will they move to cancel the investigation before it's conclusion?
This sounds just like the Democratic Party and their narrative about President Trump. Say it and worry about the truth later that ends up being fake news. If you hear he lie and never hear the truth then you only have the lie to go on.
This is Al Ferri. I was mentioned and quoted in the article.
I try my best to be polite. I saw three individuals who were having a conversation at the lake right after the Municipal Elections. I figure that I don't what they were talking about. I can only assume that they were talking about their Grandkids, kind of like Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch were doing one day on an airplane parked on a tarmac, so While I mentioned that I saw something, I felt it was prudent and respectful not to mention who.Besides, who would listen to me anyway? Until now.
So the good folks at hope mills.net decided that they should not only speculate and mention some folks who not only were not who I saw at the lake that day, but folks I had no idea until last summer that they were even interested in buying lake bed number 2.
but said meeting does coincide with timing of about a month after a soil sample failure at LSF's original site. And, it is a funny coincidence that all three of these individuals have either shown a positive interest in all of this, and the other…we will conservatively say "may" have had the ability to facilitate the town's part in processing this. Again, purely speculation on my part, much like hopemills.net seems to have, since mentioning LSF in their article; who I agree, they were not who I was talking about at all, so they were right to say they were not there. The three people I am talking about are locals. Do they want me to mention names while there's an investigation going on? Just say so and I will.
So, on to the nice person in this group who has been working as a mole and providing screenshots to hope mills.net…whoever you are 😉. You see, I am a bit scared of being bullied on the internet, private citizens and all, but I feel I should face my fears and make this post and see what they will do with it.
Again, I make no accusations, as I have no clue why they congregated at the lake. I cannot stress that enough. But if they are interested, please let them know that I may be willing to say who I saw if they so desire. So perhaps they can borrow that info from whatever news source I give it too….but until then, would someone tell these inspectors that are here that I am willing to tell them my story of a meeting that has no proof of what these three individuals were talking about?
My take on this… Why sell our lakebed to an non profit group from out of state, when we have so many local veterans of our own….will they be able to make local coordinations to use this land? Why sell at all when we just spent $82K on a survey that stated we can use more nature trails? This area can be used for hiking. mountain biking, and/or Horseback riding trails by our own citizens. It can be coordinated for use by a veteran's group if so desired…so why sell it to one so cheaply? (Wouldn't you just love to follow that money trail?
So, what did I see? three individuals congregating in the early evening before sundown at the Hope Mills Lake. what were the coincidences?
1) This Meeting occurred shortly after the municipal elections in 2017, approximately 1 month after the soil sample failure of the prospective land buy in Linden, NC.
2) 2 of 3 of these individuals have openly admitted they were pro LSF, and/or at least their actions would suggest.
3) 2 of 3 of these individuals are either elected officials/town employees.
A little about me… I am not only for veterans, I am a veteran of 21 years. 20 on active duty and 1 in the NC Army National Guard. I retired from the US Air Force a Master Sergeant/E7. That said, why should our local vets be forced to pay taxes and give away parklands on the cheap and have to ask for permission thru the VA system to receive treatment to use it and coordinate through a Texas non profit organization to do it? How do we benefit as vets? how do we benefit as taxpayers and veterans? More importantly, who is benefitting and why do they seem so fired up to give away our land?
I served 12+ yrs in the Army from July 1988 to Feb 2002 as an 11B3PF7 (Staff Sergeant E6, Airborne Infantry Pathfinder) two tours in the 82nd one of which I went to Combat with Cco 2/325 AIR for OPERATIONS Desert Shield and Desert Storm…. and one as a Weapons Squad leader Cco 1/505th PIR … I also served at Ft Campbell KY in 2/327 Infantry as an Infantry Team Leader, 101st Pathfinders (Airborne) as a Division Pathfinder, and Bco 2/502nd Infantry as a Line Squad Leader.
I served in NC National Guard, Roseboro Armory, (Feb 2001 – Feb 2002.) as a dismount Squad leader in Det 1 Bco 1/120th Infantry.
Later I joined the US Air Force (Feb 2002 to Aug 2009 where I served until retirement from active duty. School at Keesler AFB MS, Pope AFB 21 Special Tactics Squadron (Feb 2003-Feb 2006), I served as the Mission Support Flight Superintendent and deployed for OPERATIONS Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. Later served in the 8th Fighter Squadron (Wolf Pack!) Kunsan Air base, Korea, where I served in 8th Communications Squadron as the Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATCALS) Maintenance Supervisor and later as the Maintenance Systems support Branch Manager, where I oversaw Quality Assurance, Job Control and Supply Ops. I retired from Robins AFB, GA's 5th Mobility Group, 53rd Comm Squadron Deployable ATCALS Supervisor.
So yes, I am a veteran….no I am not against veterans, but I am against my hometown people getting fleeced by a group that will profit off of us and use the name of our veterans to do it.
I have served Hope Mills on the Lake Advisory Committee, and coached 16 athletic seasons of Special Olympics for Cumberland County in Cycling, Basketball and softball.
So,now that hope mills.net's speculation has evoked my response, do you really want me to out your personal cronies and personal media darlings?
YES! Don't confuse me with your friends. I started this site so the people of Hope Mills would have a source of information that wasn't clouded in false narratives, not as you all like to speculate, to help my preferred elected officials. If you saw three people at the lake, tell us who they were. Let them answer for themselves. I will never be a proponent of ANYONE hiding truths.
Well I guess three individuals meeting near the lake is suspicious except they probably were debating if the hot dogs at Robins is as good as Big T. Unless you have a recording and regardless of who 'they' were get a life.
All I've seen is a bunch of nothing and still waiting on the names. Several accusations have been made and yet each one has failed to prove anything and the latest was when the town attorney had to read a letter from FCEDC to respond to questions from one of our commissioners through the town attorney. (oh who voted on a independent investigation?) Your little group has been looking into this since July bouncing from one wacky idea to another and yet nothing, because if you had something trust me you all would be a chatter. Have you talked to LSF? Let me guess you haven't someone tells you about LSF. Have you talked with FCEDC? Let me guess you haven't someone tells you about FCEDC. Have you talked to the Mayor? Let me guess you haven't someone tells you about it. Several times now this blog has shown a couple of the commissioner's misinform the public, change the facts and one even felt the need to do it from her commissioners chair to only be proven once again to either lie or misrepresent the truth. So I ask how far fetched is it to think the same thing isn't happening here? The cool thing is about this in all truth a 6 month investigation has already been done on the Mayor and turned up nothing however the commissioners are also being investigated I wonder how much wrong doing is going to come from that?
Thank you for your service I'm also a Vet of 21 years and the owner of this blog is also Vet.
Omg! I don't know Al Ferri but, reading that post was excruciating. Is he a real person? Really? I don't know him. He sounded like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez giving a stump speech. If so, he'll be the HM gift that keeps on giving! Bring it on.

Charity Film Awards
2022 Annual Patient Information Day - 7 May
Petra Trek 2022
About AMEND
We are here to break the isolation so often felt by those with these rare diseases, and we would be delighted to welcome you into our 'family'.
The aim of our website is to direct you as quickly as possible to our support services and to information you can trust on multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes types 1, 2, and 3, medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), and Phaeochromocytoma and Paraganglioma (PPGL) syndromes.
The Association for Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Disorders (AMEND) is a patient group set up in 2002 to support and inform anyone affected by or interested in multiple endocrine neoplasia disorders and their associated endocrine tumours. AMEND is run by patients, for patients, and became a UK registered charity (no. 1099796) in 2003, converting to a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (no. 1153890) from January 1st, 2014. AMEND reports to and is regulated by the UK Charity Commission.
Back in 2002, MEN1 sufferers and co-founders, Liz Dent and her daughter Emily Fazal set up AMEND as they were concerned that, having been recently diagnosed with a rare condition, there was little information to be found regarding best treatment, and even fewer fellow patients with whom to be in contact to share experiences – a process that so many people find helpful.
With the help of the AMEND medical advisory team, Jo Grey produced the first English language versions of our patient-aimed information books on MEN back in 2005. Since then, AMEND has continued to find other innovative ways to help support and inform patients and their families and friends around the world. Amongst these innovations is the MEN Passport; a portable record folder for keeping track of the complicated monitoring and treatment regimes involved in living with MEN.
In 2008 Jo Grey became CEO and Chair of the Trustee Board and continues to run AMEND today as CEO ably assisted by Administrator, Helen Blakebrough and a committed band of patient, family and healthcare professional volunteers.
Jo Grey, AMEND CEO
Helen Blakebrough, Administrator
In 2008, membership of AMEND was made free to all, and in 2009, AMEND's free counselling service for volunteers and members was launched.
AMEND works hard forging and maintaining cooperative working alliances with other patient and professional groups around the world in order to ensure the best support possible for MEN and endocrine tumour patients. The charity believes strongly in investing in its growing band of volunteers and provides appropriate training wherever possible. Nowhere is this better reflected than in our Regional Volunteers project which was launched in 2018.
AMEND also runs two other groups:
ACC Support UK (for those affected by adrenocortical cancer – in collaboration with Neuroendocrine Cancer UK)
Phaeo Para Support UK (for those affected by inherited phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma syndromes)
Aims of AMEND
To improve the well- being of all persons affected by MEN and endocrine tumours by:
Providing support to patients and their families and friends;
Providing information about MEN and other relevant issues relating to genetic disorders,
Promoting a wider knowledge of MEN among the medical profession to assist in early and accurate diagnosis, and;
Assisting in future MEN research
We are always pleased to hear from you so don't hesitate to get in touch and see how we can help.
As a charity (non-profit organisation) registered in England & Wales, AMEND is regulated by the government's Charity Commission and produces annual reports and accounts. It does not receive government funding.
AMEND has a Board of Trustees (Directors) which includes patients, healthcare professionals and other interested parties with specific qualifications. It is the Board's responsibility to set the organisation's strategy and to ensure that the charity operates in compliance with the laws of the United Kingdom.
