Keep in mind, I was still new in town. I didn't know people yet. I had no community here, no family. At a time when I needed to be seen, she saw me. And she was engaged to a man for whom she had done the same.
Before becoming her fiancé, he sustained a spinal cord injury in a car accident—some maniac in a utility van ran a red light and t-boned him—rendering him completely paralyzed from the waist down. They had only been together three months.
Here's what I imagine: She gets the call at work, leaves in the middle of her evening shift and arrives at the hospital where it's all beeping machines and sterilized surfaces, and there's a sack of some mysterious liquid hanging from a pole beside his bed, and he's all bandaged up and has a brace around his stomach and tubes in his arms. And his legs. Motionless. Eventually his mother and sisters and friends all leave. It's just the two of them. And this guy, he's scared. Terrified. No more walking. How will he live? He says this, How will I live, and she has every reason to bail on him now—they barely know each other, she owes him nothing—but instead she looks him in the eye and says, I'm moving in with you. Says, I'm going to help you get better. No hesitation. No stuttering. Just says it. Better. Implying healed. Implying, you're going to get through this. And this guy, this twenty-five-year-old kid, he's completely overwhelmed. He starts crying. We're talking crazed, red-eyed, biblical weeping. Imagine it. Your little metal world caving in around you, the crunch of crumpling steel and shattering glass, the pain exploding from the bottom of your spine like it's been ripped off. That was me in that car, he thinks. That was my body crushed and thrown. He squints up at the florescent lights and jams a fist into his mouth to keep himself from howling. She waits. His weeping slows. The beeping on the heart monitor slows.
Marry me, he says. And she says yes. A moment like that? Of course she says yes. And of course she regrets it later.
"Stop it," she said. "You're gawking. I hate gawking."
I was nearly ready for a second beer. "Sorry, I don't mean to gawk. It's just, hell of a story."
"I wish that's all it was."
Jozi worked at the coffee shop a few blocks from my apartment. She had a switchblade wit and painted dark wings on her eyelids and wrapped her hair in Rosie-the-Riveter bandanas and had eyes the color of volcanic glass.
But this isn't the part where I describe her body. That comes later. I haven't figured out how to cut that part out yet.
I had only just moved to Nebraska—I'd needed cheap rent following The Big Breakup—and after a few weeks of Jozi preparing my late-night tea, I asked her out for a drink. "I'm not single but sure," she said, and we found ourselves at bar a few blocks from a university neither of us attended, lamps cutting through the crisp night, a high wooden fence dividing the patio tables from the cars on the street and the shrieking horny drunks on the sidewalk, and she was telling me her story like we were chatting about the weather. Of course I was gawking. I was in awe. Of her unsentimental manner. Of their romantic attempt to beat back tragedy. Of the tragedy itself.
"Why Lincoln?" I said. "Why not stay in Omaha?"
"There's a good rehab place here. Madonna. Gotta learn to walk again! But actually, it was great at first. I'm not kidding. I think because we had something to believe in, something to work toward. It dropped us in love. And frankly, it was nice having some damn direction. I didn't even care he didn't get me a ring." She swallowed her last swig. "But fuck. Lincoln's awful. I make lattés and I take care of him and that's my life. Like maybe I'm paralyzed now too? That thought actually crosses my brain, maybe I'm paralyzed, and then I vomit everywhere because what an awful shitty selfish thing to think. Woof."
She pulled a metal cigarette case from her backpack, popped it open and put a clove to her lips, then offered one to me. I said I didn't smoke. She shrugged and lit up and told me they still had no wedding plans, that she'd grown doubtful of whether the big day would ever come at all. "But it's not all shitty," she said. "I promise."
"Okay. Tell me something not-shitty."
Smoke curled up past her eyes. Resting her cigarette in the ashtray and unbuttoning her cardigan, she stood and rolled up her shirt partway. My eyes took a moment to adjust. It was a word, evolve, all lower case, arranged vertically down her stomach like tears dripping off her ribs. A blonde guy in a polo whistled from a nearby table. She gave him the finger and his crew burst into laughter. She sat and shut her cardigan and the people around us returned to their conversations. "My first tattoo," she said, reclaiming her clove. "Few weeks old. I'm liking it a lot right now."
I sensed the game forming between us. Like she was challenging me to figure her out.
"But I'm talking too much," she said. "Your turn. Who are you?"
I told her my name.
"Don't be slippery. Who are you?"
I told her I was trying to be writer.
"You published?"
"Few stories. Nothing major."
She threw back her head and punched a laugh into the night. "Nothing major. Sure. No false humility, please? Honesty. That's all I ask. Stay honest and we're solid." An ash fleck had settled on her lip. "You're gawking again."
"Don't apologize. And don't feel all bad about yourself. I don't need that either. Listen, I like you. I choose to be here talking with you. Okay?"
She reached across the table and put her hand on mine.
I found her charming. I didn't see a person hurting, a person caught between the elation of nurturing and the imprisonment of it. Or I did, I saw all that, and I was charmed. The way she dropped her guard in brief stark flashes. Told her stories and rejected pity. Used brutal honesty as her personal self-evasion.
I wanted her to freeze the blood in my veins, then thaw it for me and make me think it had always been frozen.
I found her on Facebook and clicked through her pictures. Jozi silhouetted before a sunlit cornfield, Jozi seated against a brick wall smoking, Jozi wearing a Christmas sweater cradling a tiny dog, Jozi aiming a clunky camera at herself in a bathroom mirror. One by one, they formed their mosaic in my brain, a nebula pulling itself inward and becoming a star.
Then I reached a couple photo. She was seated in his lap, arm over his shoulder and sticking her tongue out at him. A baseball cap sat back on his head. Messy mouse-brown hair. Unshaven neck scruff. Creases by his eyes. Mouth open in laughter.
So this was what he looked like.
I clicked his name—Bobby O'Brien—and another mosaic began to form. Pictures of him with Jozi. Him kissing her cheek. The two of them joke-frowning in a restaurant booth. Him in the hospital bed with her by his side, laughing together at something on an iPhone. When I reached a pre-accident photo—him standing on one foot and balancing a skateboard on a guardrail with the other—I shut the laptop and went to bed.
For our next outing we met at a graveyard at 9 o'clock in the morning. Her idea.
A cold fog clung to the red-leafed trees. Exhaust coughed out the tailpipe of her beat-up Toyota. She got out and zipped up her puffy coat, a shrunken clove dangling from her lips. She had parked in the handicapped spot.
"Fuck the cold," she said. She dropped the cigarette and crushed it with her boot. Then, smelling of tobacco, she touched her lips to my cheek.
We walked the stone paths drifting through topics. Movies we liked, family histories, music. Commonalities amazed us. Her parents were also divorced. I also loved the constellation Orion. I told her my own tragedy—nothing compared to theirs, but a badge nonetheless—met a girl at school, dated for years, exchanged unofficial promises, moved halfway across the country to be with her in Minnesota, got dumped and ended up here. Lincoln: land of indie coffee shops and cheap rent.
Jozi described what it's like living with him. How they hadn't lived together before the accident. How he cries every day. Comes home high "on fuck knows what" and lies to her face about it. Treats her like shit, gets angry with her, yells at her, and when she threatens to leave he says, Please, no, I can't do this without you. Preys on her self-esteem, then preys on her pity.
"But it's not that simple," she said. "This isn't a little rip in old upholstery. A dab of Elmer's glue won't do it. That first day at the hospital he pooped on the floor. I watched it happen. He couldn't help it. Literally had no control over his pooping apparatus. All of a sudden this turd drops out of him like a potato, and we start laughing. We laugh our asses off. What were we supposed to do? It was fucking hilarious. He gave me this look like, well, that's my poop. Hope you still like me. And then we were looking into each other's eyes and it was one of those gorgeous moments where you're like completely in love." She blew into her hands. "Never thought I'd see a guy poop and think it was beautiful."
A crow landed on a gravestone, then resumed flight.
"Do you know someone here?" I said.
"Buried? Nah. It's just a nice place to think sometimes. Peaceful. Nobody's getting loud in a graveyard." We sniffled in the cold. We had stopped walking. Her eyes moved up my body. She looked past me and bit her lip.
She dropped to one knee and fished through her backpack for her camera—I recognized it from Facebook—and aimed it at me.
"You're a photographer?" I said as though it had just occurred to me.
"Hobby."
"Should I be doing something?"
"Whatever you like."
I felt self-conscious. Was something behind me photo-worthy? Pretty headstones? Trees?
"No, look at me."
"These headshots or something?"
"Stop worrying. Jesus. I'm gonna delete them anyway."
We went downtown for lunch. We parked in a garage and walked the sidewalks together, her arm linked in mine. On an opposite street corner sat a bearded man with a cardboard sign. "Let's cross here," Jozi said. I let her lead. When we reached his corner, she took a knee and brought her face close to his and held out a ten-dollar bill. "You gonna buy alcohol with this?" she said.
"No ma'am."
"You gonna get yourself something to eat?"
"Yes ma'am."
He took hold of it but she didn't let go.
"Promise?"
He smiled. He had a gap in his teeth like a curtain opening in a big cold theater. "Yes ma'am," he said.
We walked a block to Sultan's Kite and picked the booth furthest from the doors near a wall-mounted television set. We sat on the same side, eating our gyros, pressed to each other, and she placed the camera on the table and started clicking through the pictures she'd snapped.
"They any good?"
"Mm hmm." She stopped on a photo of me with my mouth open in question. "I like it when they look real like this."
"Well, yes. They're photographs."
"Not what I mean, dummy. I mean sloppy, unrehearsed. No sugar added."
She stared absently into the TV on the wall. The screen in her hands showed my body twisting away, face hidden.
"I wish I had a picture of Bobby's crash," she said. "Of his face right when it happened."
"Why would you want that?"
"You can't understand. You have no idea how much I wonder about that moment. It's like, maybe if I could freeze it in time I could actually reach out and touch it."
"Then what?"
"Then anything. Then whatever comes next."
Her phone vibrated on the table. She silenced it and tossed it in her backpack.
"You can answer that. I don't mind."
"He got stupid drunk again last night, so I slept on the couch. He probably just woke up. Big surprise, I'm not there to do his shit for him and suddenly he misses me."
The screen on her camera went dark.
There were things I could have asked about him but didn't feel I should, things that would have rendered a more complete picture of him, but she was in one place and I was in another, so instead I imagined him waking from a dream of walking. He reaches across the sheets and she's not there. Head pounding, he crawls to the edge of the bed and flays himself into his chair, a maneuver learned in physical therapy. He goes out to the living room but she's not there either.
For the next few weeks we saw each other any moment we could, but we only slept together the one time, after winter arrived. Nearing orgasm, I told her I loved her, and she smacked my ear and said, "Shut up, no you don't," then kept going until I finished.
I woke up cold. The covers had slipped to the floor. I could make out her tattoo along her stomach, evolve, expanding and shrinking with her lungs. At some point I registered the smell of wood burning but ignored it. Then came the sirens. They stopped outside my window. I stood and peeked through the blinds.
The house across the street was on fire. Second and third trucks blared in the distance. Firefighters scrambled on the street, unrolling hoses. Jozi hadn't moved, hair thrown across the pillows. Heavy sleeper. I threw on pants and a t-shirt and went downstairs.
Orange smoke billowed past the sickle moon, turning black as it rose. The whole house was engulfed. A policewoman silently commanded me to stay on the sidewalk. I obeyed but imagined lifting out of my body and drifting invisible past the policewoman and the firefighters and the ghostly mist coming off the jets of water. I found the door to the burning house unlocked. I stepped inside. The smoke did not burn my eyes. The heat did not make me sweat. I walked through that inferno, flames licking up the walls and over the furniture. The next door led into the bedroom.
I knew I'd find him there. His soot-black body splayed across the floor, a hand outstretched toward the wheelchair, which had rolled beyond his reach. A ceiling beam crashed onto the bed and he screamed. He saw me watching him. He had my face and I had his.
I hadn't even heard her come outside. She held her camera chest high, aiming up at the flames.
Click. Click.
She had her coat on, hair wrapped, backpack slung over her shoulder. She wouldn't be coming back upstairs with me.
She checked the screen. "Wow." She backed up and dropped to one knee and put her eye to the viewfinder.
She twisted the lens, then twisted it back.
"You deleting these too?"
"Are you kidding? They're gorgeous."
All along the block, spectators had gathered on sidewalks and porches and balconies, aiming phones at the fire.
"Won't he ask where you got them?"
"What would give him that idea?" A line divided the orange-lit part of her face from the part in shadow. I couldn't decide if she was grinning.
Once she was gone I got on Facebook and looked up my ex, stopping on a picture of us wearing life vests on a motor boat on a lake in Minnesota. She's in close-up, wishing she was single. I'm in the background, terrified of falling in the water. We're both smiling and squinting into the wind.
She stopped answering my texts. I went to my bookstore job and sat behind the register for hours hoping she'd come in. I unearthed the old shoebox from the back corner of my closet, still taped shut from the move to Nebraska. I couldn't find scissors so I slit the tape with a steak knife. The box held notes the ex had written during our years together. Meet at the library. I went to the store. Happy Birthday. Happy Valentine's. Happy Graduation. I left them scattered across the carpet for days. I would enter the bedroom, see the notes, and leave.
The coffee shop door jangled. She heard it and saw me but showed no response. The guy at the counter finished paying and returned to his seat with a scone in his fist, and I stepped forward.
"I ever tell you about the doctor I dated?" I said. "This was a few years ago. I told her I was agnostic and she said, 'I hope someday you grow up and start believing in God.' Isn't that funny?"
"Uh, hello."
"It was at the beginning too. We weren't even an item yet. We barely know each other and she says that to me. But I ignore it. No big deal, I tell myself. She doesn't mean it. She's perfect, I told myself. Except for that one little demeaning comment, she's perfect."
"Did you want tea or something?"
"Serves me right, I guess. I don't listen. Never see the omens. Just jump right in." Hearing me, the other barista, a pink-haired white girl named Cherokee, placed her copy of Franny and Zooey on the counter and came over to us. It became clear Jozi had told Cherokee about us. Makes sense. You have to tell someone, so you tell your coworker. But you spin it, of course, so you're not at fault. He manipulated me, she probably said, deceived me into a lapse of judgment, and now he's at the counter and we both know he's a jerk. What a jerk.
"Eight ounce rooibos."
"To go?"
"Our small is twelve ounces."
Cherokee slipped back to her book in the corner and Jozi began preparing my tea. "A witness came forward," she said.
"A witness."
"Bobby's trial. Some guy at the intersection saw the whole thing. Out of the blue he gets in touch with police, police put him in touch with Bobby's lawyer, bingo-bango. So we're probably gonna, you know, win."
We. Casually tossing that word in the air, knowing it would land in my chest.
"How much is he getting?"
"A lot. I don't even like to think about it."
I shouldn't have been asking. It shouldn't have mattered to me.
"Eight million."
"Dollars?"
"Soda cans. Yes, dollars." She handed me the cup and I snapped a lid on it. I felt her studying my face. "Why did you say you loved me?"
"I was being honest. I was telling you what I really felt in that moment."
"That's not honesty. Honesty doesn't jerk itself off."
A banjo cover of "Thriller" came on. A pair of old women sat hunched over a chessboard. A guy checking his phone raised his mug to drink and missed his mouth. All around us people tapped away at computers and tablets, working diligently, or distracting diligently. When the door chimed behind me, my body went rigid. It was him, I knew it was him. But when I looked, it was a lady in a fur hat with flaps.
Jozi nodded at my cup. "It's one eighty-seven by the way."
I found another coffee shop. Life sank into steep cold. Daylight shortened, snow came in sideways drifts. At my Gallup call center job, I droned through opinion polls surveying wellbeing. I asked strangers over the phone if they'd felt happiness in the last three days, dreading the inevitable unconvincing yes.
Her cover photo became a top-down shot of two hands on a wooden table, crossed at the fingertips, engagement ring gleaming. I decided I had fulfilled my role in her life. The lurking infidel who threatens to demolish and in so doing reaffirms.
Telling myself this helped nothing.
I needed to visit Laundry Land but couldn't make it out the door. Boots felt impossible. I stalled grocery shopping for a week after finishing the last of my food. I ordered delivery. Hoagies, pizza. One night I ordered Chinese and read my fortune—Maybe sleepwalking doesn't mean anything—and wept for ten minutes. I went to my dealer's place and she asked if I had lost weight. I told her I'd been doing push-ups.
That time of night, everyone at the 24-hour Russ's Market looks tired, there because something kept us away during the day. I dragged through the awful florescence like a creature left to haunting, slumped, eyes darting, barely making sense of the shelves, tuna fish and baking soda and coffee filters, cookies, donuts, cashew tins, avocado paste, tomato syrup. In the frozen breakfast section I found a boxed product called Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick and thought I'd fallen into an alternate dimension. I turned into the sandwich aisle.
There he was, near the ketchup, with a shopping basket in his lap. When I saw his face I knew exactly who he was. "Excuse me," he said as we passed, and stopped at the wall of buns, scanning them up and down. It was really him, the fiancé in three dimensions, reaching for a bag of brioche rolls. I felt my jaw tightening.
The aisle was empty. Anything I did I would need to do quickly. Grab a jar of pickles off the shelf and smash it through his skull, glass cracking, blood gushing. Quick, do it quick, then run from the place and keep running until you escape your life.
He glanced my way and I realized I was gawking, so I reached for a pickle jar but couldn't get a proper hold with my gloves still on. It slipped from my hand and burst to pieces on the floor, startling him.
He grabbed his chest. "Jeez man! Got some buttery fingers there?"
"S-Sorry."
"Uh oh. Somebody feels glum," he said, flashing a charming smile. "Don't worry about it, man. Everybody drops things."
I could see why she liked him.
"Ha! Look at you! You're shocked. You're like a fish in a tank."
He already had his phone out. Click. Picture taken. Deed done. It would soon be uploaded to Facebook with the caption, Random dude who dropped the pickles.
"Look," he said and, avoiding the mess I had made, came closer to show me the phone. "Funny, right?"
I studied that person on the screen. You can see how stunned I am, standing in my coat and gloves over the pickle piss puddle, and I remember deciding I would not ask him to delete it. There I would be, unmistakable, staring back at her from inside the frame, forever calling out in desperation, Remember me? Remember me? Would the picture cause anything? A sudden flare of concern that he knew about us? Probably not. Probably the opposite. As the picture confirms, I am random. A tiny scratch on the record of their lives.
A man in a red Russ's polo passed our aisle but abruptly stopped when he saw the pickles and juice and broken glass.
"It slipped," I said.
He sighed. "All right. Shit. I'll get the mop."
They never did end up marrying. For a while I followed their lives online. Broken up by summer. On Facebook she made cryptic claims about honesty and pain, but as far as I can tell they remained friends. He moved to Michigan, where he had family. She moved to San Diego, met a musician, fell in love. Then, while the musician was touring in Oregon, he had a car accident. His best friend died in the seat beside him, but he survived. She drove up to see him in the hospital. Before long she was engaged again.
I try to grasp their entwined evolutions, and my own evolution orbiting somewhere nearby. I think about the gravitational pull of her presence, her quick-witted way of switching textures—from kindness to coldness, from awestruck to over it—and my silly illiteracy, my need to read her one way instead of another. Sometimes I recall that chance encounter with him. Here was a person I thought I could understand by imagining him. I had seen his pictures and heard his story and created a character onto whom I could project all my sympathies and fears. I had grown jealous of his tragedy, grown ashamed of my jealousy, grown angry about my shame, and for what? For a competition over a woman I had imagined just as flatly, a competition he never saw. Just as well. I hadn't seen it either.
I finished my shopping and returned to my car and waited a lifetime for the engine to warm. My breath was becoming windshield fog, and as I leaned forward to wipe a circle in the vapor I heard a distant rumbling, far away but getting closer: a helicopter coming into view over the black treetops and wiping circles through the sky toward the hospital down the road.

Introduction: This study attempted to determine the effect of a 1800 MHz electromagnetic field (EMF) (only carrier frequency) on thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and corticosterone (CORT) concentrations in the blood plasma of chick embryos, and to investigate the effect of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure during embryogenesis on the level of these hormones in birds that are ready for slaughter. Material and Methods: Throughout the incubation period, embryos from the experimental group were exposed to a 1800 MHz EMF with power density of 0.1 W/m2, 10 times during 24 h for 4 min. Blood samples were collected to determine T4, T3 and CORT concentrations on the 12th (E12) and 18th (E18) day of incubation, from newly hatched chicks (D1) and from birds ready for slaughter (D42). Results: The experiment showed that T4 and T3 concentrations decreased markedly and CORT levels increased in the embryos and in the newly hatched chicks exposed to EMF during embryogenesis. However, no changes were found in the level of the analyzed hormones in the birds ready for slaughter. Differences in T4 and T3 plasma concentrations between the EMF-exposed group and the embryos incubated without additional EMF were the highest in the newly hatched chicks, which may be indicative of the cumulative effect of electromagnetic field on the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis (HPT). Discussion: The obtained results suggest that additional 1800 MHz radio frequency electromagnetic field inhibits function of HPT axis, however, it stimulates hypothalamo- pituitary-adrenal axis by inducing adrenal steroidogenic cells to synthesize corticosterone. Further investigations are needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which radio EMFs affect HPT and HPA axis function in the chicken embryos.


Greatwood was established in 1999 in fulfillment of a longstanding belief that a small business designing and making fine contemporary furniture to commission is a viable and worthwhile enterprise.
In this frenetic 21st Century dominated by state-of-the-art electronic devices we offer a truly unique product, the existence and relevance of which is neither controlled by time nor current technology.
The origins and history of furniture are inextricably linked through the centuries with our own development. Furniture is interwoven with our history and is an expression of the human psyche prevailing at a particular time. It is made from our most natural and beautiful sustainable material. When finely crafted, its elegance, functionality and ability to constantly please will endure for generations, without the need for constant update or modification – just a little care. It is not surprising therefore that most of us have an innate empathy with fine furniture, which, unless awakened, may sometimes remain dormant.
Through commissioning a piece of our fine furniture we hope to rekindle this innate connection. We provide an interactive means by which our clients, if they wish, can direct their own individuality into the piece, with the comforting assurance that we will always maintain the highest standards of traditional craftsmanship.
There are many discerning people who have already recognised the benefits and pleasure of owning a commissioned piece of fine furniture. It is not the preserve of a few as some might assume, so please tour our website, which we hope you enjoy, and perhaps will inspire you to start imagining your perfect piece.

The increase in assets and expenses are recorded on the debit side of an account.
The increases in liabilities, equity and revenues are recorded on the credit side of an account. Assets and expenses have normal balances on the debit side.
Liabilities, equity and revenues have normal balances on the credit side.
Normal balance of an account refers to the side where increases in that account are recorded.
Assets are debit accounts and the increases in assets are recorded on the debit side of the account. Expenses are also debit accounts and the increases in expenses are recorded on the debit side of the account.
Assets include cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, notes receivable, loans, inventory, land, buildings, equipment, goodwill, patents and trademarks.
Expenses include cost of goods sold, salaries expense, utilities expense, insurance expense, advertising expense, travel expense, supplies expense, rent expense, interest expense and income taxes expense.
Increases in liabilities, equity and revenues are recorded on the credit side of the account and these accounts are called as credit accounts.
Liabilities include accounts payable, notes payable, salaries payable, rent payable, income taxes payable, borrowings and bonds payable.
Equity includes common stock, preferred stock, paid-in capital in excess of par value and retained earnings.
Revenues include sales revenue and services revenue.
Debit accounts have normal balances on the debit side and credit accounts have normal balances on the credit side. Normal balances are on the side where the increases are recorded.
The increases in debit accounts, such assets and expenses, are recorded on the debit side. The decreases in debit accounts are recorded on the credit side, the opposite side of the increases. As the increases in credit accounts, such as liabilities, equity and revenues, are recorded on the credit side, the decreases in credit accounts are recorded on the debit side.

Q: How to enable VS code extensions while using sshfs? I recently started using the sshfs extension by Kelvin Schoofs in VS code and it's a huge time saver. However, my other extentions don't work when I'm editing in the remote workspace.
For example, I have the HTML snippets extension installed and it works when editing a local file. But when I try to use it in a remote workspace it dosen't. Same goes for my other extensions.
I was wondering if anyone had run into this issue and somehow got their other extension to work. I've done some googling around for solutions but haven't found anything that works.
I would also be open to using a different ssh extension if this isn't an issue for the suggested extension.
Thanks in advance for any help or insight you guys can provide.

Using a bionic ear to make a bionic eye
Bionic breakthrough in sight with an Australian first
Louise Hall Health Reporter | August 10, 2008
AUSTRALIA'S first bionic eye will be implanted by two Sydney researchers.
Using the same cochlear technology that allows the deaf to hear, the device aims to restore basic vision in patients with degenerative eye diseases, allowing them to walk without a cane or guide dog and differentiate between night and day.
Minas Coroneo and Vivek Chowdhury, from Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital, say the visual prosthesis could be the first - and cheapest - to hit the world market.
Rather than "reinventing the wheel", they have adjusted the cochlear implant to allow patients to perceive light, rather than sound.
"We're using a bionic ear to make a bionic eye," Professor Coroneo said.
It should not cost much more than a cochlear device - $20,000. Instead of a microphone, it will use a camera and more electrodes.
There are 23 groups around the world racing to invent the first functional bionic eye. The ultimate goal is a permanent implant with enough resolution to enable patients to recognise faces and read large print.
But while others - including two rival Australian groups - are working on a prosthesis to be implanted inside the eye on the retina (intraocular), Professor Coroneo's and Dr Chowdhury's device puts electrodes on the outer wall of the eye (extraocular).
The two ophthalmologists, who formed the Australian Bionic Eye Foundation, say their approach is safer, reversible and won't threaten what little vision some people have.
Four overseas groups have implanted prototypes in humans but have failed to prove benefit, or have had serious complications. In 2006, Professor Coroneo and Dr Chowdhury conducted a clinical trial of 20 patients to determine which types of blindness would respond to stimulation. In many conditions causing blindness, the retina is damaged but the nerves connecting to the brain remain largely intact and can be activated by electrical stimulation. It won't work for people born blind.
So far the research has cost just $100,000 and they have asked Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon for $10 million to begin clinical trials.
Following successful animal studies this year, the researchers have drafted three surgeons to soon implant the device in a cadaver.
By the end of the year, two or three volunteer patients, including Marrickville man Steve Horan, 30, will have a temporary device implanted.
Mr Horan was born with retinitis pigmentosa, for which there is no treatment or cure. As a child he could read a phone book and attend school. Now legally blind, he relies on his guide dog, Casey.

Commutation Applications
Prison Build Program
The Michigan Department of Corrections offers prisoners the opportunity to build houses for low-income families. Founded in 1998 by Governor John Engler, the Michigan Department of Corrections partnered with Habitat for Humanity to help them with their home site construction.
The Prison Build Program allows student inmates to work on different exercises, carpentry skills, and service learning projects. The inmates gain valuable work experience that can help them reenter society after being released from prison. In this program, the students are given an opportunity to receive resume help, attend job fairs and sometimes apply for jobs while still in prison.
Prisoners construct anything from walls, to cabinets and countertops, to horticulture packages. The prison inmates design landscape plans and create the needed horticulture assets. No wood is wasted, the wood scraps are used to make furniture to accompany the home.
The Prison Build Program has built homes for low-income families and families whose homes were destroyed in natural disasters, along with cabins for state parks, bunk beds for foster children, and handmade toys to raise funds for the Children's Trust Fund and new Habitat for Humanity programs.
In 2001, the Prison Build Program was named a semi-finalist in the Harvard University Innovations in American Government program and 2001 council of State Government Innovations program. Habitat for Humanity also named the program one of the top five prison partnerships in the country.
The Prison Build Program is helping inmates learn skills that can help them reenter the workforce after prison. To learn more, check out their website.

I'm not the world's best parent. Truth be told, I'm not even close. Once in a while, though, I get something right.
With two teenagers and a dog in the house–and me as the antithesis of Suzy Homemaker–the messes and chores never end. I keep looking to my kids for relief. Their able bodies should be able to unload the dishwasher or fold a load of laundry, or even *gasp* hang up their coats.
And, grumbling notwithstanding, they usually do–when I ask.
Futilely, however, I keep hoping that they will notice what needs to be done and just do it. After all, the dishes don't magically disappear. Without a list or a specific request, though, I'm convinced my kids have tunnel vision in the house. This panics me, because I wonder how they will ever manage on their own.
Note to self: continually dropping passive aggressive hints does not work.
Note to self: nagging does not work.
Who is going to do this stuff when you live on your own?
You left your dishes in the sink–AGAIN.
Your bathroom is a disaster!
And if one of those tactics doesn't work alone, neither does an alternating chorus of them, nor does repeating them over and over. And over. It just becomes the equivalent of shouting at a person who doesn't understand the language.
Finally I smartened up and tried something new. When I leave the house, I don't give them a specific list of chores anymore. They're clearly not learning from that. Instead, I give them a number and vaguery.
Holy moly. The results I got with that approach far outweighed anything else I had tried. It forced them to take note of their surroundings and self-evaluate (is it enough?). The first time, I got a clean toilet, a clean kitchen, and a vacuumed floor. Oh, joy of joys!
I don't know why we (read: I) don't look at our home lives like we look at our professional or social lives. We fall into ruts and don't even think about changing them. People are people, and the same principles apply: if someone doesn't get it, increasing the volume won't help. Change the way you communicate.
Stop nagging and get creative.


The Alcohol Aftercare Service and the East Riding Partnership (ERP) have joined forces with the health trainers to promote discussions on alcohol for Alcohol Awareness Week.
Going round the area in the Health Promotion health bus, sessions were held in Bridlington town centre on Monday, in Tesco's car park in Goole on Tuesday and in Aldi car park in Withernsea on Wednesday.
The health trainers are promoting healthier lifestyles and we link in with discussions on the role alcohol plays in this.


LONDON (Reuters) – Standard Life Aberdeen said it has won a legal battle to stop Lloyds cancelling a 100 billion pound ($133 billion) investment management contract early, a decision which could cost the bank hundreds of millions of pounds in extra fees.
Lloyds had argued the 11 billion pound merger of Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management to form SLA in 2017 allowed it to end Aberdeen's 2014 contract to manage a large slice of its pension assets because it considered insurer Standard Life as a "material competitor".
SLA's victory also raises the prospect that Lloyds will have to pay some or all of the 390 million pounds the asset manager would have earned under the terms of the contract due to expire in March 2022, even if it continues to transfer assets to BlackRock and Schroders.
"The ruling does not allow any right of appeal. We would expect Lloyds to have to pay compensation. This is likely to be in the order of around 300 million pounds," KBW analyst Edward Firth said in a note to clients on Tuesday.
For Lloyds, "the sums are broadly irrelevant in the context of the Group", KBW's Firth said, flagging an 'outperform' rating and 67 pence a share target price on its shares.
A spokesman for Scottish Widows said the Lloyds-owned insurer was "disappointed" with the ruling but it would press ahead with plans to transfer assets to BlackRock and Schroders.
"We will continue to work closely with Standard Life Aberdeen to ensure there is no disruption to performance or service," the spokesman said.
Lloyds awarded BlackRock a contract to manage 30 billion pounds in assets in October, to be invested using the U.S. company's index strategies in one of Europe's biggest investment contracts of last year.

Lala Meredith-Vula (* 1966) ist eine Englisch und Kosovo-Albanische Künstlerin und Fotografin. 1988 war sie ein Teil der von Damien Hirst geleiteten Freeze Ausstellung. Lala ist Professorin an der De Montfort University in Leicester, England.

Leben und Arbeiten

Lala Meredith-Vula wurde in Sarajevo geboren und zog 1970 nach England. Sie besuchte die Trent University in Nottingham (1984–85) dann das Goldsmiths College, (1985–88) und schließlich die Univerzitet u Prištini im Kosovo für postgraduale Studien.

1988 war sie eine der Ausstellerinnen der Ausstellung Freeze, organisiert von Damien Hirst, die die Werke vieler der Künstlerinnen und Künstler präsentierte, die später als Young British Artists bekannt wurden. Seitdem hat Lala zahlreiche internationale Ausstellungen durchgeführt und war kürzlich Teil der Documenta 14.

Seit 1989 unterrichtet sie an verschiedenen Hochschulen in Großbritannien, den Vereinigten Staaten und im Kosovo. 1995 richtete sie die erste fotografische Abteilung an der Universität Tirana, Albanien und im Jahr 2000 eine fotografische Abteilung an der Universität Priština ein.

Eine besonders wichtige Erfahrung für Meredith-Vula war eine Fotoserie im Kosovo, die Heuhaufen von albanischen Bauern zeigt. Die Gegenüberstellung ihrer kosmopolitischen Kunsterfahrung mit ihrer provinziellen Herkunft unter der Frage "Was ist Kunst?" lieferte eine Lösung:
Nachdem ich viele Jahre lang Kunst studiert und viele Galerien auf der ganzen Welt besucht hatte, stellte ich bald fest, dass der Kontext eines Kunstwerks eine große Rolle spielte, wo es platziert wird. Bei all meinen Recherchen musste ich nach Hause zurückkehren, um die wahre Bedeutung meiner Suche zu entdecken, auf den Feldern meiner ehemaligen Heimatstadt erlebte ich eine Lebensweise, die so alt war wie das Land selbst, auf dem die Bauern ihr Geschäft machten, alles hatte seinen Platz. Bei all dem sah ich, dass die Bauern irgendwie unbewusst seltsame Skulpturen schufen, die die Anwesenheit moderner Skulpturen hatten. Hier war ein Teil meiner Suche vorbei. Ich hatte den Treffpunkt zwischen meiner neuen Kunstwelt als Künstler und meiner Vergangenheit in der Landschaft des Kosova gefunden.

Sie hat auch Frauen in türkischen Bädern über einen Zeitraum von zwei Jahren fotografiert (6 Monate davon wurden genehmigt), und eine Serie, die Frauen zeigt, die unter der Wasseroberfläche stehen und sich bewegen. Sie hat das erklärt: "Frauen und Wasser" handelt von der Schönheit und Unvollkommenheit des freien Körpers unter Wasser. Viele Frauen fühlen sich durch soziale Einflüsse, insbesondere im Westen, deformiert. Im Wasser können sie sich auflösen und als Teil der Natur sowohl klassisch als auch ausdrucksstark wieder auftauchen.

Ihre Werke befinden sich in einer Reihe bedeutender Kunstsammlungen, darunter: Arts Council of Britain, Arthur Andersen Collection, Centre of Photography in Genf, Collezione La Gaia, Doria Pamphilj Gallery Collection, Doria Pamphilj Palace Museum, The Teseco Foundation, The British Council Collection.

Lala unterrichtet zur Zeit an der De Montfort University in Leicester.

Heuhaufen
Seit 1989 fotografiert Lala in Osteuropa Heuhaufen von Bauern. Eine fortlaufende Serie, die in der Photographer's Gallery, London, Croation Fine Art Society, Zagreb, Kosova ARt Gallery, Kosova, documenta 14 in Kassel und Marubi Museum, Albanien ausgestellt wurde.

Blutgedächtnis

Lala folgte und fotografierte die Bewegung zur Versöhnung der Blutfehde in Kosova in den Jahren 1990 und 1991 und machte eine Reihe von Fotografien, die 2015 in der Kosova Art Gallery gezeigt wurden. Sie war Forscherin an einem BBC-Dokumentarfilm Under the Sun (1991) – Ausstrahlung 1992 auf BBC 1.

John Cogan discusses social programs onArea 45: Is Entitlement Reform Possible? Available here.
So, here's a way to think about it for these entitlements. Let's take Social Security...How are Social Security benefits financed? ...you're paying for them now, right?
There's a payroll tax that's levied on you, the worker, and your employer. You each pay 7.5, roughly, percent for Social Security and Medicare, right?
The economic effect of that is a little bit ambiguous, but one thing we know is that when you impose a tax on work, you're going to tend to get less work. When you give an individual a benefit for retiring, that individual is going to retire a little bit earlier.
So, from an economic standpoint, the way I've thought about these entitlement programs is they, through their financing and through their benefits, they have adverse incentives for the economy.
Doesn't mean that they're bad programs. There is a humanitarian purpose in these programs.. Preventing poverty in old age is a noble goal, right?
So, you balance the economic harm that's done by these transfers against the value of that benefit to individuals and to society from fulfilling a humanitarian goal. That's the way I've come to think about entitlements.


VANCOUVER – The moment I arrived at the 2014 annual meeting of the Geological Society of America (GSA) – I knew I would be coming back in 2015. Indeed, I really wished I had attended last year. Even though I didn't present any research, just being at the conference and surrounded by amazing professionals and accomplished students gave me a great example of what I could accomplish at my next GSA meeting. Indeed, my first GSA meeting helped me develop an incredibly concrete perspective on who I could become as a scientist and the range of wonderful possibilities that I can look forward to in my career.
I've known about GSA for years. Every fall, all of the Earth and Environmental Science professors take a few days (to the delight of most of their students) to attend the annual meeting of this academic society and present research, go on field trips, host short courses, participate in shared governance, and to learn from their colleagues. The faculty in our department strongly encourage our fellow students to attend the conference and present the results of their research as well. Presentations take the form of either a short 15-20 minute talk or poster display. This year, I attended along with fellow students Gwen Alldredge ('15) and Jessica Robinson ('16).
This year, the meeting was held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Vancouver is a beautiful city - picture a cleaner, more modern San Francisco, with maple trees and gorgeous clouds. I had some free time to visit Stanley Park, just a few minutes from the convention center and hotels. The maple trees had caught on to the change in seasons, dusting the sidewalk in leaves of green, red and orange. There was even a rose garden that still had flowers in bloom. I wish I had had time to visit the Vancouver Aquarium as well, but I had to content myself with browsing through the gift shop.
GSA does a lot of things to help student members attend the conference. Students are entitled to special, reduced rates for conference registration, are given several opportunities for social networking, free meals, and free stuff (Gotta love free stuff!). GSA also provides students with opportunities to volunteer to work up to 15 hours during the conference. In exchange, GSA waves the cost of their registration. However, the volunteer slots fill up quickly, so make sure to sign up fast! There are many other options for offsetting the cost of travel and hotel at Pacific too, including conference travel programs offered by ASUOP and Pacific Fund.
GSA helps students get connected. GSA is divided into a number of discipline-specific divisions that host events that are open to students. I attended the Hydrogeology Division Awards Luncheon, where I was able to meet many professionals, fellow students, and recent graduates that shared common interests. The conference also organizes a huge exhibit hall packed with booths filled by folks from a ton of of great graduate schools, vendors, government agencies, industry professionals, and national organizations.
The conference is built around the main attractions – the technical sessions. Every day, dozens of separate technical sessions feature presentation (talks and posters) on every imaginable topic. With exciting titles like Mass Extinctions, It's a Cold, Cold World, or When Water Meets Rock, it can be hard to choose which session to attend sometimes! Indeed, we spend a fair bit of time picking through the program and jumping from session to session to try to catch specific talks. Some of my favorite talks included lectures on pygmy mammoth fossils discovered on islands off the coast of California and one about an invasive aquarium fish on the loose in a national park. Another great talk discussed the use of oxygen isotope ratios in bivalves as a way to document climate change in Alaska.
All in all, GSA 2014 was a great experience! Fellow students, I highly recommend attending next year's conference in Maryland – especially if you are planning on presenting research or looking into graduate school. I am already making plans to attend one of the regional GSA meetings in Alaska in May 2015. Another great meeting to attend is the American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference that meets in San Francisco every December.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame's Only Non-Star Tiles Are In Honor Of What Event?
The Oldest Continuously Published Newspaper In The United States Is The?
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a stretch a little shy of a mile and half that runs east to west on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The walk contains over 2,400 stars dedicated to people and events within the media industries covering film, television, music, broadcast radio, and theater.
The standard star is a pink marble star with brass lettering and logo inlaid in a gray tile. All the tiles are standardized except for a set of four tiles anchoring the corners of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. At the four points of the intersection are four grey marble moons dedicated to the Apollo XI space mission. Each tile is inscribed with the names of the Astronauts–Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., and Michael Collins–as well as the date of the first moon landing and the mission name.
While the impressive feat of landing on the moon is worthy in and of itself for a special honor, the tiles are tagged with a brass television, putting them firmly in the broadcast category–a fitting honor since over 93% of the nation tuned in to watch the historic moon landing.


Our moist, old-fashioned gingerbread cake, baked in three 8-inch layers, is fragrant with the holiday flavors of molasses and spice. Bake and freeze up to two months ahead, then frost thawed layers on the day you plan to serve. Unwrap layers before thawing so excess moisture can evaporate.
Prepare Gingerbread Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 8-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms with waxed paper; grease paper. Dust pans with flour. In medium bowl, mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. In 4-cup glass measuring cup, whisk molasses with 1 cup water.
In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat margarine with granulated sugar until blended. Increase speed to high; beat until creamy, about 2 minutes, scraping bowl often with rubber spatula.
Reduce speed to medium-low; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, alternately add flour mixture and molasses mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat until blended.
Pour batter into pans and spread evenly. Stagger pans on 2 oven racks, so layers are not directly above one another. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center of each layer comes out clean.
Cool layers in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Run small knife around sides of pans to loosen layers. Invert layers onto wire racks to cool completely; discard waxed paper.
Prepare Cream-Cheese Frosting: In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat frosting ingredients just until blended. Increase speed to medium; beat until frosting is smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes, constantly scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Makes about 2 1/2 cups frosting.
To assemble cake, place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on cake plate; spread with 1/3 cup frosting. Top with second layer; spread with another 1/3 cup frosting, then top with remaining layer. Frost top and side of cake with remaining frosting. Refrigerate if not serving right away.

CNN+ to Debut in Q1 2022
GLOBAL NEWS, INFORMATION AND LIFESTYLE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE WILL PROVIDE NEW EXPERIENCE FOR CNN SUPERFANS, NEWS JUNKIES AND FANS OF QUALITY NON-FICTION
CNN+, the much-anticipated streaming subscription service from CNN, will debut in Q1 2022.
CNN is coming off its highest rated and most trafficked year ever on both television and digital platforms and remains the most trusted name in news. From this position of strength, CNN+ will expand CNN's unparalleled multiplatform global reach to provide a new, additive experience that complements the core CNN linear networks and digital platforms to serve CNN superfans, news junkies and fans of quality non-fiction programming.
"CNN invented cable news in 1980, defined online news in 1995 and now is taking an important step in expanding what news can be by launching a direct-to-consumer streaming subscription service in 2022," said Jeff Zucker, Chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports and President of CNN Worldwide. "As the most trusted and recognized name in news, CNN has unrivaled global reach, world class talent and a deep existing library of content including award winning series and films. On top of a television offering that has never been stronger, which remains at the core of what we do today, we will offer consumers a streaming product that grows the reach and scope of the CNN brand in a way that no one else is doing. Nothing like this exists."
CNN+ will feature original, live, on demand and interactive programming as a standalone direct-to-consumer service with offerings that are separate and distinct from CNN, CNN International, HLN and CNN en Español linear TV channels. At launch, 8-12 hours of live, daily programming offering topical deep dives and lifestyle content from some of CNN's most prominent talent, as well as several new faces, will live alongside a thriving community component for fans to connect directly with anchors and experts in real time conversations about the issues that matter most to them.
CNN+ will launch with a deep library of non-fiction, long form programming including past seasons of CNN's award-winning original series and films, including Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, This is Life with Lisa Ling, and United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell.
Additionally, CNN+ will build upon that library with new original series and films developed for CNN+, which will be unveiled later this year.
"For 41-years, global audiences have turned to CNN as an essential source of news and information, which is rooted in our deep commitment to quality journalism," said Andrew Morse, CNN Worldwide Chief Digital Officer. "CNN+ will be built on a foundation of world class reporting and storytelling and a commitment to meet our audiences wherever they are."
CNN will continue to have a single app where CNN+ subscribers can access CNN+ programming and pay TV subscribers can get the TVE experience they have enjoyed for many years. The app will include CNN's linear TV feeds of CNN, CNN International, HLN and CNN en Español channels, which will be available exclusively for pay TV subscribers. If pay TV subscribers choose to maximize their experience, they can also subscribe to CNN+ to access the full CNN+ programming all in one place.
CNN's #1 digital news platform, in CNN.com and CNN mobile apps, will remain a separate, free offering serving news consumers around the globe with trusted journalism and information.
The leadership of CNN+ includes:
Andrew Morse, chief digital officer for CNN Worldwide, is the executive in charge of CNN+, with oversight of the content, product development and business operations of the platform.
Alex MacCallum, CNN Worldwide's head of product is the general manager of CNN+, with oversight of product development, customer acquisition and marketing, strategy and growth and revenue operations.
Rebecca Kutler, senior vice president and head of programming for CNN+, is overseeing the development, production and programming of live and taped programs for CNN+.
Courtney Coupe, senior vice president of content strategy and operations for CNN+, is overseeing the strategy, curation and programming of content on the CNN+ app, as well as community management.
Robyn Peterson, CNN Worldwide's chief technology officer, is overseeing the team of technologists and engineers developing a world class platform and user experience for CNN+.
CNN's Original Series and Films unit, led by CNN Worldwide executive vice president for talent and content development, Amy Entelis, is developing new series and films for the platform. Vice president of program development Katie Hinman will lead the development and production of external series for CNN+, working with Jon Adler, vice president of program development for CNN Original Series.
Additional details will be released in the months to come ahead of launch. For more information visit cnnplus.com.

Killing continues: Animal Friends is organizing demos to save animals from veterinary inspectors
- Affair in Ministry of Agriculture: about 50 animals have been killed in one day, killing continues today - inspectors are using a fear of supposed rabies to destroy the best two animal shelters in Croatia!
Veterinary inspectors Miljenko Jurjevic, Marica Cikojevic i Ljerka Fuckala have killed more than 50 animals in Zagreb's animal shelter in Dumovec, a shelter Noah's Arc and in the homes of people that have recently adopted dogs from shelter, and this killing continues! They enter people's homes saying that they only came to control, and then kill the family dog in front of the screaming children, without even a word about quarantine or examination! Ministry of Agriculture has relesead an announcement to justify the killing by supposed danger of rabies because of the puppy that has been adopted a month ago from Dumovec to Samobor. According to the latest discovery, a rabid fox has entered the yard in which the puppy has lived, killed chickens and infected the puppy with rabies causing his death. But the inspectors obviously have been maliciously using the death of the puppy as the excuse for killing unvaccinated as well as vaccinated animals.
The killed dogs in Dumovec were in quarantine, their health and behavior are constatly under monitoring by Dumovec's competent personnel, they were no threat to people nor other animals. Animals have even not been tested for rabies, but the inspectors killed them on the spot. Autopsy of the killed animals confirmed that neither of them has been infected with rabies. Despite that, veterinary inspection continues its deadly campaign to healthy animals!
Does the Minister of Agriculture Tihomir Jakovina know about illegal attack of his inspectors at two best animal shelters in Croatia, which work was noted for several times even by his ministry as the example how the animal shelters should function? Does he know about intrusion of his inspectors in homes of the citizens and killing the healthy dogs in front of shocked children and family? Does the Government and Prime Minister know that the inspectors of Ministry of Agriculture by closing the shelter with the excuse of fictive danger of rabies are making unmendable material damage to Zagreb and Croatia, regarding the assets given to the shelter and the fact that Dumovec adopt at least two or three dogs per day?
Who will pay the damage made to the shelter right now when Croatia has to prove to European Union that stray animals are civilised cared for? Do the veterinary inspectors have their superiors approvement for their deadly attack to innocent animals and the intrusions in citizens homes? Why the veterinary inspection killed the animals in Noah's Arc shelter, which is even not in contact with the animals in Dumovec? Why the veterinary inspection controls work of Dumovec many times more than "shelters" with many lawbreakings and dogs killing?
Animal Friends is demanding the Ministry of Agriculture to urgently stop maniacal campaign of its inspectors to the miserable dogs and to sanction their lawbreaking acting. Animal Friends invites the citizens to join the demos on Monday, June 18, 2012 at 1 P.M. in front of the Veterinary Office (Planinska 2) and on Thuesday, June 19, 2012 at 1 P.M. in front of the Ministry of Agriculture (Ulica grada Vukovara 78), and the demontrations are to be continued. We are demanding killing to be instantly stopped, responsible inspectors and their superiors to be sanctioned and fired and we are inviting the citizens to write to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Government and the foreign organizations to save the other threatened dogs.
As the institution of the City of Zagreb, the shelter in Dumovec is an example to the other shelters with its quality work and is also one of the few shelters with no-kill after 60 days policy. The personnel in Dumovec are professionals, additionally qualified by the education in foreign countries, and the number of adopted, castrated and vaccionated dogs as well as the education of the public about responsible threatment of animals speak for itself about their efficiency and efforts. Every dog has been vaccinated for rabies and other deseases when he is 3 months old, and the personnel knowingly conduct all the other law directives.

Shay Benhamou Considers Ethereum As Bitcoin's Eternal Rival
Finance by Abram Jayce	on June 3, 2021 127 views
The Ethereum vs. Bitcoin debate has always been an interesting one as both cryptocurrencies are at the top of the ladder. The two cryptocurrencies have many similarities between them but they also have many differences which make them unique. The story of Bitcoin versus Ethereum starts in 2009 when Bitcoin was introduced as the first-ever cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was the face of cryptocurrency was many years till a blockchain platform was launched. That platform for blockchains is now known as Ethereum. The new cryptocurrency became a fast competitor of Bitcoin only five months after its launch.
Shay Benhamou says that this competition between Ethereum and Bitcoin is an eternal battle. Shay Benhamou is an expert in cryptocurrency investments and often shares his thoughts, views, and lessons for cryptocurrency traders. Let's review some reasons why he considers Ethereum to be an eternal rival of Bitcoin.
Reasons Why Ethereum Is Bitcoin's Eternal Rival
Similarities Between The Two
Ethereum and Bitcoin are similar in that they have the same foundations. Both assets are cryptocurrencies and are both high in demand. Bitcoin and Ethereum are decentralized cryptocurrencies. This means that no bank or government authorities have control over them. They are stored in blockchain systems. The decentralized form of these cryptocurrencies is what makes them so reliable because the owner of the currency has all control over it.
Ethrereum and Bitcoin both use a proof-of-network consensus which means that they require verification and confirmation before they are issued. Due to the verification and confirmation processes that are necessary, both assets have slow transaction processes.
What Makes Them Different
Shay Benhamou says that while these two assets have many similarities, they also differ in many technical ways. They use different algorithms where Bitcoin is run on SHA-256 and Ethereum uses ethash. They also have different block times. In this regard, Ethereum is faster than Bitcoin because while Ethereum transactions are completed within seconds, while Bitcoin transactions can take several minutes to complete.
The most prominent difference between the two is in the fact that they have different overall aims. Bitcoin was developed to perform as an alternative to national currencies. It aspires, and has somewhat succeeded, to become the medium of exchange. On the other hand, Ethereum was created to work as a platform to provide blockchain services with its own currency of Ether. Ethereum does not want to establish as a monetary system unlike Bitcoin.
Driving Force Behind Rivalry
The prices of both assets have always been in close quarters over the years. As soon as Bitcoin makes a move to become prominent in the eyes of the investor, Ethereum comes up with ways to increase the competition and introduces something new. For instance, the new upgrade of Ethereum is said to end Bitcoin's blockchain dominance. The developers have made significant changes in the Ethereum system which is bound to attract many more investors. However, we cannot be too sure of this as Shay Benhamou says, because Bitcoin may just come up with an upgrade that may put it back to its initial dominant position. The constant challenges and upgrades that these two cryptocurrencies hit each other with is the main reason why Shay Benhamou and many others believe that the rivalry between Bitcoin and Ethereum will last all of eternity.
Shay Benhamou is a firm believer that the rivalry between Bitcoin and Ethereum is eternal. He has many solid reasons to back this claim and has shared a few with us. Both assets are similar in so many ways but also differ in a lot. This makes them the perfect competitor for each other. Moreover, they both were launched in a close timeline which means that they grew together. The market value of both these assets is always in close numbers. Even if one is affected by something, it soon closes the gap in the values. All these reasons pile up to support Shay Benhamo's belief that their rivalry is everlasting.

Students serve Common Table meal, learn about homelessness
Jennifer Feals
PORTSMOUTH — While St. John's Episcopal Church has offered a weekly meal to homeless and needy people for the past 10 years, this week was unique.
For the church's weekly Common Table on Thursday, volunteers joined 52 children ages 3 to 13 in the Christian Education Program, who helped serve the approximately 200 patrons. Later, staff members from Families First Health and Support Center taught about homelessness, compassion for those who are homeless, and services offered to those in need in the community.
"It was chaos — wonderfully controlled chaos," the Rev. Rob Stevens said with a smile about the effort to clear up misconceptions. He said, for example, that children were taught those in need are no different from themselves. "This is saying we're all in this together and it's unique to see that in action."
In addition to serving Thursday's meal, students met with Families First staff and had a chance to ask questions about the homeless community, services offered to them and more. They also toured the organization's mobile health care van "Helen," which is available to diners at the church each Thursday.
Students said they left Thursday feeling less scared about homelessness and more compassionate to those who are in need. Some also said they had no idea the local homeless and needy population was as large as it is.
"I knew there was some homelessness, but not this much," said Jack Durkin, 12, of Portsmouth. "I thought it was sad, but also good that they have these services."
Families First has two health care vans that travel throughout the area, and the students learned from staff Thursday that the Helen van serves people of all ages, from babies to those in their 80s, and at any given time, there can be three to four patients utilizing services. The services are paid for through state and federal funding, as well as private donations, staff said.
Students were surprised to learn the food they provided Thursday may have been the only meal of the day for some diners, but said they felt like their ability to help may have made someone's day.
"It made us feel really good inside about what we did to help the homeless," said Audrey Walsh, 11, of Greenland.
