Hawa Mahal - Meysmahdavi
27 October, 2019 By Meysmahdavi Tourist Articles India, Jaipur, Monuments No Comments
Hawa Mahal (English translation: "The Palace of Winds" or "The Palace of Breeze") is a palace in Jaipur, India. Made with the red and pink sandstone, the palace sits on the edge of the City Palace, Jaipur, and extends to the Zenana, or women's chambers.
The structure was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, who was the founder of Jaipur. He was so inspired by the unique structure of Khetri Mahal that he built this grand and historical palace. It was designed by Lal Chand Ustad. Its unique five floors exterior is akin to the honeycomb of a beehive with its 953 small windows called Jharokhas decorated with intricate latticework. The original intent of the lattice design was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life and festivals celebrated in the street below without being seen, since they had to obey the strict rules of "purdah", which forbade them from appearing in public without face coverings. This architectural feature also allowed cool air from the Venturi effect to pass through, thus making the whole area more pleasant during the high temperatures in summer. Many people see the Hawa Mahal from the street view and think it is the front of the palace, but in reality it is the back of that structure.
In 2006, renovation works on the Mahal were undertaken, after a gap of 50 years, to give a face lift to the monument at an estimated cost of Rs 4.568 million. The corporate sector lent a hand to preserve the historical monuments of Jaipur and the Unit Trust of India has adopted Hawa Mahal to maintain it. The palace is an extended part of a huge complex. The stone-carved screens, small casements, and arched roofs are some of the features of this popular tourist spot. The monument also has delicately modeled hanging cornices.
The palace is a five-storey pyramidal shaped monument that rises to about 50 feet (15 m). The top three floors of the structure have the width of a single room, while the first and second floors have patios in front of them. The front elevation, as seen from the street, is like a honeycomb with small portholes. Each porthole has miniature windows and carved sandstone grills, finials and domes. It gives the appearance of a mass of semi-octagonal bays, giving the monument its unique façade. The inner face on the back side of the building consists of chambers built with pillars and corridors with minimal ornamentation, and reach up to the top floor. The interior of the Mahal has been described as "having rooms of different coloured marbles, relieved by inlaid panels or gilding; while fountains adorn the centre of the courtyard".
Lal Chand Ustad was the architect of this unique structure. Built in red and pink coloured sandstone, in keeping with the décor of the other monuments in the city, its colour is a full testimony to the epithet of "Pink City" given to Jaipur. Its façade depicting 953 niches with intricately carved jharokhas (some are made of wood) is a stark contrast to the plain looking rear side of the structure. Its cultural and architectural heritage is a true reflection of a fusion of Hindu Rajput architecture and Islamic Mughal architecture; the Rajput style is seen in the form of domed canopies, fluted pillars, lotus, and floral patterns, and the Islamic style as evident in its stone inlay filigree work and arches (as distinguished from its similarity with the Panch Mahal at Fatehpur Sikri).
The entry to the Hawa Mahal from the city palace side is through an imperial door. It opens into a large courtyard, which has double storeyed buildings on three sides, with the Hawa Mahal enclosing it on the east side. An archaeological museum is also housed in this courtyard.
Hawa Mahal was also known as the chef-d'œuvre of Maharaja Jai Singh as it was his favourite resort because of the elegance and built-in interior of the Mahal. The cooling effect in the chambers, provided by the breeze passing through the small windows of the façade, was enhanced by the fountains provided at the centre of each of the chambers.
The top two floors of the Hawa Mahal are accessed only through ramps. The Mahal is maintained by the archaeological Department of the Government of Rajasthan.
The palace is located to the south of Jaipur city, at the main road intersection called the Badi Chaupad (big four square). Jaipur city is well connected by road, rail and air with the rest of the country. The Sanganer International Airport is at a distance of 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) from the city.

Loretta continues to be an active community member, involved with local organizations including Carver Center & Sole Ryeders. She is on the Board of Governors for the Milton Pt. Assn and a member of the Coveleigh Club in Rye.
•et; Platinum Award winner -WCBR.
We have been looking at investment properties for awhile and Loretta has recently helped us find the first one. She is very professional. She knows what she is talking about and always goes the extra mile. She is very well connected and put us in touch with a great property manager. We are very happy to have Loretta by our side and look forward to a long relationship with her.
After living on our own private island on the Connecticut shore for 30 years, we were introduced to Loretta who had the goal of finding us a "tear down" along the New York coastline between Rye and New Rochelle so that we could build a contemporary adult home. Loretta suggested we meet her at the Rye train station, where she proceeded to drive us to the lot and home that she believed was what we wanted. Loretta knows her territory and her clients. She was absolutely right. She had listened to what we wanted. She understood from where we coming [great deal of privacy and openness]. She was practical [why build when you do not have to even though she did show us other options]. Within less than 60 days, thanks to her no-drama negotiating style, including her deep knowledge of the surrounding market and the history of the purchased property, we were the proud owner of the home of our dreams in a perfect location. We continue to celebrate our great fortune in meeting Loretta when we were making such a large life-style change.
Working with Loretta put our minds at ease and we knew right away she was our advocate. She is thoughtful and takes the time to understands your needs. Loretta's real estate market knowledge and insight into community gives her a wide lense that helped us learn more about what kind of home/community we wanted to raise our family. She is a class act and is someone we would recommend whole heartedly.
How delighted we are to be working with Loretta. Her professionalism and determination is outstanding and we look forward to a successful outcome.
We are so thankful for all of the guidance and help Loretta provided to us in our search for our new home in Rye. Loretta's immense knowledge of Rye as well as the surrounding neighborhoods coupled with her highest level of professionalism was evident from the very first time we met her. Coming from the city, we had very little knowledge of the neighborhoods as well as the housing market in Westchester. Loretta spent the time to not only educate us about the various neighborhoods (and the tradeoffs between different type of houses) but importantly devoted time to understand what our specific needs were. Loretta was also extremely respective of our busy (and hectic) schedules, and went out of her way to schedule appointments that fit our schedule (oftentimes on very last min notices). Loretta strikes the ultimate balance of being diligent but never pushy; sharing her views but never imposing. Importantly, we felt that she was always an advocate to us, every step of the way. THANK YOU Loretta for finding our dream home!!! We would recommend Loretta to any of our friends and family in a heartbeat!
We have had both a very successful sale and purchase last year with the help of Loretta. The sale was a huge success due to her tireless effort to make the home ready for sale; the house looked immaculate when it was listed and attention was paid to every little detail. She spent a lot of time on positioning it for the right buyers, staging the house and positioning it for the right buyers. It was a huge success with a sale within a week and multiple bidders. We bought our house after looking at several properties in Rye together and it was a time consuming journey as we looked at waterfronts and 19th century Victorians. Loretta spent hours to investigate the properties, from flood zones, the history of the properties, the work done and getting in engineers and contractors to figure out the scope of potential renovations. Eventually we walked away from several properties and ended up with our current house. This was following weeks of negotiating to come out at the right price. Loretta is very sensitive to paying a 'fair price' and she wants to know any potential issue with the house before there was a deal. She went beyond her duties as agent in lining up contractors, painters, architects etc. Overall it is amazing how engaged and committed she is, while her knowledge about the Rye housing market is second to none. I highly recommend Loretta to any potential buyer and/or seller.


I was speaking to a close friend of mine who is also in the EPC business and he was talking about how low the prices of EPC's have got very low.
In fact by the time he drives all around the country and pays the government EPC registration fee etc there is not a lot of profit to be made.
This has a knock on effect though and ends up making the business more of a charity than a business. The fact is Energy Surveyors have all had to undertake special exams in order to be able to provide this service.
They also have to provide a certain standard of work in order to be able to remain in business.
Here at EPC Energy Certificates.Com our prices have stayed the same and throughout we continue to offer a great service throughout Northern Ireland at reasonable prices, we never aimed to be the cheapest just the best at what we do.
Remember if you are selling,or renting out a property in Northern Ireland you will require a valid EPC .
And remember to save you £10 we offer an online ordering option that works out cheaper than booking via telephone.

Trump punts health care until after 2020
Just last week the president had seemed to go all in on a new effort to wipe out Obamacare.
By QUINT FORGEY and JOHN BRESNAHAN
Updated 04/02/2019 12:36 AM EDT
President Donald Trump signaled Monday that congressional Republicans would wait until after the 2020 elections to vote on a GOP replacement for Obamacare — putting off a presumably savage legislative battle on a hot-button campaign issue until after his re-election bid.
"Everybody agrees that ObamaCare doesn't work. Premiums & deductibles are far too high - Really bad HealthCare! Even the Dems want to replace it, but with Medicare for all, which would cause 180 million Americans to lose their beloved private health insurance," the president tweeted.
"The Republicans … are developing a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums (cost) & deductibles than ObamaCare," Trump continued. "In other words it will be far less expensive & much more usable than ObamaCare. Vote will be taken right after the Election when Republicans hold the Senate & win … back the House."
Trump claimed that the as-yet-unseen Republican proposal "will be truly great HealthCare that will work for America," writing online that "Republicans will always support Pre-Existing Conditions."
The unexpected string of tweets added drama to a week that has seen Obamacare return to the fore as a policy issue.
The president's pledge comes days after his Justice Department endorsed a federal court ruling to eliminate the Affordable Care Act in its entirety, moving to invalidate the landmark health care law despite objections within Trump's orbit from Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Attorney General William Barr. The ruling by District Judge Reed O'Connor had suggested that the Obamacare statute, which has passed muster with the Supreme Court, was actually wholly unconstitutional.
The president appeared on Capitol Hill the next day, saying that the Republican Party "will soon be known as the party of health care."
Trump's call to again put Obamacare repeal on the table for Hill Republicans was seen as a potential disaster-in-the making by GOP leaders, who knew their incumbents and candidates were badly hurt by it last November. And it was an invitation to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to pound home the issue once more, as she plans to do with a House vote this week condemning the administration's decision not to defend Obamacare in court.
Trump's efforts to eradicate Obamacare have also endangered some of the administration's health initiatives, such as lowering prices for prescription drugs and combating opioid abuse and HIV.
In public and private, Republican leaders made clear that they didn't want anything to do with the president's most recent maneuver. They begged Trump to back down and made their displeasure known to other administration officials, as well.
GOP lawmakers even took the position that if Trump wanted to lay out his own health care proposal, then they would be willing to look at it. But Senate Republicans — facing a tough electoral fight to maintain their majority in 2020 — have refused to sign on to a new administration drive before seeing the specifics, giving them room to disavow any Trump proposal if it hinders their own political outlook.
How killing Obamacare could backfire for Trump
By SARAH KARLIN-SMITH and BRIANNA EHLEY
"I look forward to seeing what the president is proposing and what he can work out with the speaker," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a brief interview Thursday, adding: "I am focusing on stopping the Democrats' 'Medicare for None' scheme."
McConnell is up for re-election this cycle, as are vulnerable GOP incumbents including Cory Gardner of Colorado and Susan Collins of Maine, who said she doesn't want the Justice Department to push to strike down Obamacare.
The Affordable Care Act has been a thorn in the side of Republicans since it was enacted in 2010. After the GOP took back the House in the midterm elections that year, GOP lawmakers repeatedly passed legislation designed to repeal Obamacare.
Once Trump was elected president on a promise of different and better health care options, Republicans seemed on the path to finally scrapping the law, only to see a 2017 "skinny repeal" effort fail unexpectedly in the Senate. That attempt collapsed when Arizona Sen. John McCain — upset with the irregular way the legislation was being handled — stunned his colleagues by voting against it.

Effects of Ionizing Radiation on DNA
Ionizing radiation affects living things on an atomic level, by ionizing molecules inside the microscopic cells that make up your body. When ionizing radiation comes in contact with a cell any or all of the following may happen:
It may pass directly through the cell without causing any damage.
It may damage the cell but the cell will repair itself.
It may affect the cell's ability to reproduce itself correctly, possibly causing a mutation.
It may kill the cell. The death of one cell is of no concern but if too many cells in one organ such as the liver die at once, the organism will die.
Inside the nucleus of each cell are microscopic bodies called chromosomes. Chromosomes are organized in pairs and are responsible for the function and reproduction of each cell in an organism's body. Different species of animals and plants may have a different number of chromosomes. Humans and potatoes have 46 chromosomes, while chickens have 78. Chromosomes are made of two large molecules or strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). These strands of DNA make up the genetic code, which in many ways acts much like a computer program. DNA is made up of four nucleic acids: adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. How these nucleic acids are arranged in the DNA is the genetic code that determines everything from hair colour to how tall you grow and even susceptibility to certain diseases.
When cells divide to reproduce, an exact copy of the cells' chromosomes are created for the new cell. If the DNA in the chromosome is damaged, the instructions that control the cell's function and reproduction are also damaged. If the cell reproduces instead of dying, a new mutated cell may be produced. In many cancers, the instructions that turn off cell growth are somehow damaged causing out of control cell reproduction, creating a tumour. Ionizing radiation, along with many other substances such as some chemicals, heavy metals and intense electromagnetic waves, can damage cells in this manner which can lead to diseases such as cancer.
When talking about biological effects from ionizing radiation there are two categories of injury: somatic injury and genetic injury. Somatic injury is damage that occurs to the organism exposed to high levels of ionizing radiation and does not include reproductive cells. Effects like sickness, hair loss or internal bleeding are visible shortly after exposure. Other illness such as cancer may take a number of years to appear.
Damaged DNA.
Genetic injury is damage to the reproductive cells due to exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation and can be passed down to an organism's offspring, perhaps generations later. Some potential illnesses could include birth abnormalities and cancer. Somatic and genetic injuries are not solely caused by ionizing radiation. Many chemical pollutants found in our environment such as cadmium, lead and mercury also can cause similar injuries.
If a strand of DNA is damaged, the cell may repair the damage, die or kill itself through a process known as apoptosis.
Sometimes the cell survives but incorrectly repairs itself and then passes the genetic abnormality on to other cells during reproduction. Genetic injury due to radiation exposure has not been observed in human populations (e.g., Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors) exposed to radiation.
Approximately 70% of the ionizing radiation you will be exposed to over your lifetime will come from natural sources found in our environment. Another 27% will come from necessary medical treatments while 3% will come from other man made sources such as smoke detectors, television sets and airplane travel.
Direct and Indirect Action of Ionizing Radiation on DNA
Inside the nucleus of each human cell there are 46 chromosomes organized into two sets of 23 chromosomes. Packaged inside these chromosomes is our DNA, the genetic material we receive from our parents. The DNA within our cells is continually being exposed to DNA-damaging agents. These agents include ultraviolet light, natural and man made mutagenic chemicals and reactive oxygen species generated by ionizing radiation. When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, radiochemical damage can occur either by direct action or indirect action. Direct action occurs when alpha particles, beta particles or x-rays create ions which physically break one or both of the sugar phosphate backbones or break the base pairs of the DNA. The base pairs adenine, thymine guanine and cytosine are held together by weak hydrogen bonds. Adenine always pairs with thymine (except in RNA where thymine is substituted by uracil) and guanine always pairs with cytosine. The bonding of these base pairs can also be affected by the direct action of ionizing radiation.
Direct action of ionizing radiation on DNA.
Please note this diagram gives the impression that alpha particle breaks the "backbone" of the DNA, the beta particle breaks hydrogen bonds, and X-rays damage bases when in fact all three types of radiation can cause all three types of direct damage. However, heavy charged particles such as alpha particles have a greater probability of causing direct damage compared to low charged particles such as X-rays which causes most of its damage by indirect effects.
The DNA base pairs form sequences called nucleotides which in turn form genes. Genes tell the cell to make proteins which determine cell type and regulate cell function. When such breaks occur, DNA usually repairs itself through a process called excision. The excision process has three steps:
Endonucleases cut out the damaged DNA
Resynthesis of the original DNA by DNA polymerase
Ligation whereby the sugar phosphate backbone is repaired.
These repair processes are highly efficient since we have evolved as a species in a sea of radiation. DNA repair takes place continuously, involving every cell in our bodies several times per year. Occasionally, however, damage to the base pair can occur when the DNA is incorrectly repaired and the wrong nucleotide is inserted which can lead to cell death or a mutation. Remember your DNA is the code which determines the type and function of the cell. There are two basic types of mutations:
Substitutions — this is the replacement of one base by another. For example, if a DNA molecule usually contains guanine at a certain position, but adenine takes the place of the guanine, then a base substitution has occurred. There are two types of base substitutions:
transitions — these involve the replacement of one purine with the other purine, (adenine and thymine), or the replacement of one pyrimidine with the other pyrimidine (cytosine and guanine)
transversions — these involve the replacement of a purine with a pyrimidine or vice versa
Frameshift Mutations — these change the reading frame of a gene (the triplet code). There are two types of frameshift mutations:
insertions — as the name implies, these involve the insertion of one or more extra nucleotides into a DNA chain
deletions — these result from the loss of one or more nucleotides from a DNA chain
To illustrate the effects of these mutations, consider the following phrase, read as a triplet code (groups of three letters):
The fat cat ate the hot dog.
A base substitution might have an effect like this:
The fat car ate the hot dog.
or perhaps:
The fat cat are the hot hog.
In each case, the phrase still makes sense, but the meaning has been slightly changed.
A mutation, on the other hand, would have a more profound effect:
The fma tca tat eth eho tdo g.
Insertion of a single letter ("m" in this case) causes the phrase to become gibberish, because the reading frame has been changed. A deletion would have the same effect:
The atc ata tet heh otd og.
Two types of breaks in the sugar phosphate backbone can also be caused by ionizing radiation. A single strand break occurs when only one of the sugar phosphate backbones is broken. Single strand breaks are readily repaired using the opposite strand as a template. However, base pair substitutions and frameshift mutations can still occur.
Double-strand breaks are believed to be the most detrimental lesions produced in chromosomes by ionizing radiation. Because such breaks are difficult to repair, they can cause mutations and cell death. Unrejoined double strand breaks are cytotoxic (they kill cells). Double strand breaks can also result in the loss of DNA fragments which, during the repair process, can cause the joining of non-homologous chromosomes (chromosomes not of the same pair) leading to the loss or amplification of chromosomal material.
Single strand and double strand breaks.
These events can lead to tumorigenesis (creation of tumour cells) if, for example, the deleted chromosomal region encodes a tumour suppressor or if an amplified region encodes a protein with oncogenic potential (cancer potential). If the genetic code is damaged and the cell does not undergo apoptosis (cell suicide), the mutation may be passed on during cell division, perhaps leading to a cancer or other mutation. In some cases a mutation may remain dormant for years and perhaps forever.
Ionizing radiation can also impair or damage cells indirectly by creating free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that are highly reactive due to the presence of unpaired electrons on the molecule. Free radicals may form compounds, such as hydrogen peroxide, which could initiate harmful chemical reactions within the cells. As a result of these chemical changes, cells may undergo a variety of structural changes which lead to altered function or cell death.

Wilson Bank & Trust Upgrades to Hanwha Techwin Cameras and Recorders to Better Serve Customers
Forty bank locations have been outfitted with Hanwha cameras that can mitigate cybersecurity risks
Hanwha Techwin America, a global supplier of IP and analog video surveillance solutions, today announced that Wilson Bank & Trust, a Tennessee-based independent, community-based bank, has upgraded the security infrastructure at 40 of its locations with Hanwha cameras.
"The bank had cameras from multiple manufacturers on multiple systems. Most of them were already 8-10 years old when we began the process. This meant that the image quality was low and we could not get the video retention rates we wanted. In addition, many of the cameras had licensing agreements, so we were paying fees for products that were not meeting our needs," said Elvis Huff, Assistant Vice-President and Director of Security at Wilson Bank & Trust.
The Bank wanted IT-based, PoE (Powered over Ethernet) cameras that could produce high-quality video and did not require licenses. They also wanted DVRs or NVRs that would give them longer-term retention rates, 90-days at a minimum. After investigating their options, Wilson Bank & Trust determined that working with Hanwha Techwin cameras and systems would be the best fit for their requirements.
During the decision-making process, one of the deciding factors was that Hanwha cameras and systems are manufactured in-house end-to-end. In Huff's view, this was particularly important for mitigating cyber security risks.
"The ability to work with a company that does everything from manufacturing the chipset and camera to developing the software was a game-changer for us. We knew it would give us tremendous peace of mind," said Huff.
By switching to industry standard PoE, IP-based cameras, the bank has realized significant savings with regards to installation and maintenance costs. "We have reduced our installation costs because we do not have to run extra wire. And we have reduced maintenance costs because the system is less complex and is less likely to breakdown," explained Huff.
Upgrading the branches has included the installation of several panoramic cameras and network IR dome cameras. The PNM-9020V multi-sensor 180° panoramic camera provides up to 30fps at full resolution. These cameras are a favorite of Huff's for their ability to capture good quality images of a large area. "I like that I can put them on the side of a building and capture what is going on in an entire parking lot."
Huff has also installed cameras to record parking lot entrances and exists. Recently, this strategy helped as the security team was able to identify a vehicle associated with a fraud case by using an image of its license plate captured as it was leaving the facility.
For branch and building interiors, they installed a variety of dome cameras, including the QND – 6010R Network IR. This indoor camera provides 2MP maximum resolution, 30fps at all resolutions, motion detection, as well as tampering and defocus detection. According to Huff, "when it comes to capturing images of vehicles, license plates and transactions, the directional dome cameras cannot be beat."
The bank has also made use of the XNB-H6241A Network ATM Camera Kit. Huff has used the kits to install hidden 2MP HD cameras. The fact that the cameras do not disrupt a branch's aesthetics is important for maintaining a positive customer experience. At the same time, these kits have allowed the bank to capture images that are not possible with a traditional top-down view. Waist-up images, which include a person's face, can be vital when it comes to investigating or prosecuting theft and fraud.
Having access to images from this angle is already proving to be invaluable. In a recent case of fraud involving identity theft, an individual presented fictitious and forged documents at one of the bank's branches. "Thanks to the Hanwha high resolution camera, we had a clear image that we were able to use to identify the individual," said Huff.
Each location has a similar setup with cameras connected to a dedicated NVR. At this point in the process, the majority of the NVRs are XRN 2011s. The XRN 2011 supports up to 32 channels and has a maximum internal storage capacity of 48 terabytes. According to Huff, the ability to store such a large amount of data was an important factor in selecting the XRN 2011. "It is not uncommon for us to have a 40 to 50 terabyte NVR as this allows us to meet our 90-day retention requirements."
Huff also appreciates the fact that the new NVRs send security personnel notifications when a camera goes down or if storage issues arise. The video captured is used mostly for investigative purposes. Because their NVRs notify them in the event of an error or potential concern, the team can rest assured that they are continuously capturing the information they need to keep the bank secure.
According to Huff, the relationship with Hanwha Techwin has been a positive one. The bank is happy with the upgraded technology, and Huff continues to be impressed with the equipment, saying "We really like our cameras. We have already seen good returns on the money we have invested. They are proving very beneficial in helping us serve our customers and prevent loss at Wilson Bank & Trust."

How long have you been skating? All my life! I was a rink rat growing up, and when I wasn't able to go to the rink I would always skate at parks or in the neighbourhood.
Why did you get involved in roller derby? As an avid skater my dream was always to be able to compete on my skates, and this was the perfect opportunity that I could not pass up! The athleticism of the game and the tough competition excites me!
How often do you practice? I try and skate as much as possible, I attend a minimum of three practices a week. Each practice is two and a half hrs long, that includes 30 minutes of off-skates training.
What Pads do you use? I have 187 Killer Pads protecting my knees and wrists, and Reactor elbow pads.
What Helmet do you use? I think I have a Triple Eight helmet, but I can't tell anymore because it is covered in stickers and paint!
What skates do you use? The Reidell 965's with a PowerDyne Revenge plate. I love my skates, they are so comfortable!
Where did your nick name come from? When I moved back home my friends on the league I started skating with at the time began calling me Tally, short for Tallahassee (where I initially started playing roller derby) and since I hadn't settled on a name (at least one that was not already taken) it stuck! I added 'gator' to my name, since I'm a huge reptile lover, when we started our league in Miami, I like that it complimented my hometown.
What is your favourite part about being a Roller girl? Being able to skate and hit other people!
Any top tips for up and coming Derby Superstars? Invest in really well padded knee pads, your knees will thank you! Don't give up until it's over! And have fun out there on the track!

Good dog named after Adele song wins Westminster dog show
Rumor has it Rumor is a good girl.
Yesterday (Feb. 14th), a dog named Rumor took Best In Show at the 141st Westminster dog show, pretty much the top achievement for a dog beyond a "good girl" from their owner. Beyond Westminster being the pinnacle of dog shows everywhere – the canine version of the Grammys, if you will – this is important for two reasons: 1) the dog was a German Shepherd, the most tactical and therefore the coolest breed of dog, and 2) she was named after Adele's "Rumor Has It."
Rumor came out of a year-long retirement/maternity leave to take the top spot at this year's New York City show, where she was a heavy crowd favourite right from the start, as German Shepherds rarely win Westminster's ultimate prize. The breed as a whole was honoured in 2002 for their work in the wake of 9/11 as search-and-rescuers. "It's a recognizable dog, people have liked them for a long, long time," said Westminster Kennel Club President Sean McCarthy. "I think it goes back to Rin Tin Tin."
Rumor won over nearly 2800 other dogs in competition this year, eventually beating out the other top competitors: a Norwegian elkhound, a Pekingese, a miniature poodle, an Irish setter, a boxer and a Norwich terrier. Insert your own who's who Grammy equivalents, as long as we all agree Rumor is Adele and Chance the Rapper is the elkhound.

Ride of the Valkyries [Single]
Ride of the Valkyries by Klayton & Tom Salta
Klayton and Tom Salta reunite in an epic collaborative cover of the famous German opera movement "Ride of the Valkyries." Originally written by Richard Wagner in the mid-1800s, Klayton & Tom Salta have reimagined the composition into a modern 'trailerized' version. The explosive duo previously co-scored the Microsoft video game Killer Instinct: Season 3 together, under their respective artist project names (Celldweller & Atlas Plug). In addition to the original collaboration on "Ride of the Valkyries", Klayton has also crafted a Celldweller remix of the track, pushing it into darker and more aggressive territory.


Are you pregnant or trying to conceive? Wondering about the risks associated with alcohol consumption during pregnancy? Let's separate fact from fiction so you can make the right choices for you and your baby.
The one thing we know for sure is that any alcohol consumed by the mother during pregnancy crosses the placenta. This toxic substance travels from the mother's bloodstream to the baby's.
As a result, drinking during pregnancy can be harmful to both mother and child.
Pregnant woman: Greater risk of miscarriage, premature birth and still birth.
Baby: Increased risk of defects, intellectual impairment, learning difficulties, behavioural problems, growth delays and problems with social interaction.
The level of risk rises with the quantity of alcohol consumed. In other words, the more a mother drinks (e.g. on a special occasion) or the more often she drinks, the greater the chance of problems occurring.
Genetic anomalies such as Down syndrome cannot be avoided, but those associated with drinking are completely preventable.
It is clear that drinking alcohol during pregnancy entails significant risks. What the scientific evidence has not been able to establish, however, is the quantity of alcohol that can be safely consumed while pregnant.
For this reason, the recommendation is to abstain from all types of alcohol at every stage of pregnancy.
Since it is difficult to pinpoint the exact moment of conception, public health organizations, such as the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada and Éduc'alcool all advise women to stop drinking as soon as they start trying to get pregnant.
Find virgin cocktail recipes so you too can celebrate on special occasions.
Instead of relaxing with a drink, try a relaxing activity, such as a bath, a good book or a massage.
Explain your decision to your spouse, friends and family. This will help them respect your wishes and give you the support you need.
If you have other questions about alcohol and pregnancy, talk to your family pharmacists. They will be more than happy to give you advice or refer you to the appropriate resources.


Washington, D.C. August 31. 2018. Following the release on 29 August 2018 of the conclusive report "Violaciones de derechos humanos y abusos en el contexto de las protestas en Nicaragua" [Human Rights Violations and Abuses in the Context of the Protests in Nicaragua] by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) that provides evidence of systematic human rights violations and calls for the creation of an international commission to ensure justice and reparations for the victims, Daniel Ortega, through the Chancellery of Nicaragua, ordered the members of the Nicaraguan Mission of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to leave the country.
Race & Equality emphatically condemns this decision of the current government as constituting a negative precedent regarding the current situation in the country and which additionally demonstrates the unwillingness of the government to permit international scrutiny of its performance in the area of human rights and its eagerness to evade justice for the extremely grave human rights violations it has committed from 18 April  to date. With extreme concern we see how the decisions of the Ortega regime contribute to the impunity in the country and reinforce the logic of fear and death that bolster the state of defenselessness and vulnerability in which the Nicaraguan people live, especially those who today are persecuted, threatened, singled out, and arbitrarily detained by the regime.
This declaration made by the government clearly demonstrates its lack of interest in restarting a peaceful and democratic national dialogue that enables the crisis and its consequences to be overcome, and additionally lays bare a clear rejection of the recommendations proposed to date by the working groups of international bodies present in Nicaragua that urge, among others, that it cease the harassment, intimidation, persecution, [and] repression of human rights defenders, politicians, journalists, and protestors who oppose the repression committed by the regime.
We urge the government of Daniel Ortega to end the repression and flagrant human rights violations, in order to overcome the crisis which in the last four months has left more than 300 people dead, more than 2,000 people injured, hundreds arbitrarily detained, and thousands displaced.

AI Calls For Protection of Iranian Mass Grave
A mass grave in the southern city of Ahvaz, containing remains of prisoners executed in 1988
Amnesty International (AI) has asked Iranian authorities to stop the destruction of a mass grave in the southern city of Ahvaz where dozens of people killed in the 1988 prison massacres are believed to have been buried.
In a statement issued on September 4, AI said it has obtained footage showing construction taking place on the site and the mass grave is being "gradually being buried beneath piles of construction waste."
The issue of the extrajudicial killings of opponents in prisons that took place in August and September 1988 has come to the fore on several occasions in the past few years, as more details have emerged of the role of still-active Iranian officials in the killings.
The AI statement says it has launched a campaign to stop the destruction of this important piece of evidence.
"Bulldozing the mass grave at Ahvaz will destroy crucial forensic evidence that could be used to bring those responsible for the 1988 mass extrajudicial executions to justice. It would also deprive families of victims of their rights to truth, justice, and reparation, including the right to bury their loved ones in dignity," said Philip Luther, AI research and advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa.
AI maintains that the Ahvaz mass grave was covered by concrete at the time to prevent families from any attempts to recover remains.
In June, AI also reported on ongoing attempts to destroy another mass grave in the northeastern city of Mashad suspected of containing the remains of 170 killed prisoners.
Based on estimates, more than 4,000 prisoners serving their sentences were killed in Iran in 1988. Opposition groups insist the toll was much higher.
Last year, an audio file emerged that shed new light on the prisoner massacres. In the recording, Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, who was then Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's designated successor as supreme leader, was heard admonishing the members of a "death committee" for their decision and actions leading to the killings. Montazeri is heard saying, "This is the biggest crime of the Islamic Republic."

Pansexual woman's journey empowers her to help others
by Gretchen Rachel Blickensderfer
In 2013, when 24-year-old pansexual woman Keyshia Lay Morris first met Chicago House TransLife Center director Bonn Wade, she hadn't closed her eyes in more than three days. Wade made her a spinach smoothie and, as they were talking, Morris fell into an exhausted sleep.
Born in Atlanta, Ga., Morris said her father moved her family to Chicago and left when she was 2. By the age of 4, her mother had moved Morris, her brother and sister into a home they shared with a woman named 'Mother Thomas.' Morris claimed the woman physically abused Morris and her brother while her mother was at work. "She used to beat on us," Morris remembered. "They found scars on my brother when he was going to school."
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services ( DCFS ) removed her from the household. Morris' mother fought unsuccessfully to get them back and no one in her extended family would take her.
Morris said she went through 37 placements as a part of "the system," as she calls it. "I am very skeptical of white people because of what happened to me in those foster homes and what they got away with."
Morris asserted that she suffered physical abuse at the hands of some foster families. "I was being passed around," she recalled. "A lot of foster parents would try to tell me 'we're your moms now. Your mom doesn't want you. That's why you're here.' I used to get into fights because I'd disagree with calling them that because I knew my real mom was still out there. People was trying to change me to what they wanted me be. Then they started beating me."
Morris' experiences with the DCFS are apparently not unique. James McIntyre is a motivational speaker and youth advocate who spent 17 years in DCFS placements. "I was adopted at five years old," he told Windy City Times. "Everything was fine for a couple of years then the adopted homes started to physically abuse me. So her story is not rare. They are more common than we would think if you talk to wards of the state."
McIntyre said that a lot of these cases are unreported because the children in the DCFS system do not know where to turn. "The system placed them there, so they thought they could trust the system," he said. "So when they get hurt like that it affects them on a mental and emotional level to not trust anybody. When they turn into young adults, they start acting out in behavioral and aggressive ways."
During one of her visits to her mother, Morris announced that she thought she was different. "My mother used to always tell me to go out and play with my brother and I was not the type of girl who wanted to play with him. My mother used to ask if I was gay and I said 'no mom, I'm not gay.' I had feelings for guys but I didn't know how to admit to it." She was 8.
Ten years later, while a student at Nicholas Senn High School, Morris came out as a woman. She did not graduate with her class because of problems she said she was having with her teachers. "When they came at me and didn't respect me as a she, I was like how dare you, as an adult, sit up there and tell me my sexuality is wrong," she said.
She had already been dressing for four years. "At night, for money," she explained. "I was in a group home and I used to run away with the girls. Then the drugs started coming." Morris said she found her clothes by stealing from stores like Macy's: "It was easy for me to rip them off. I used to hang out with a lot of white people. I was getting away with it because they was getting away with it."
Morris said the scariest moment of her life came when she was 14. She and a friend were arrested for shoplifting: "They sat me in this big receiving room and there was a whole lot of people around me. That's the most hell I went through."
After Morris was released, the arrests continued. "I kept on hanging with this girl, we called her Jamaica, and every time I got locked up I was with this chick," she said. Morris described one such incident at a local Dominick's: "I got nabbed because I was with her. She stole something and ran out the back door. They caught me because I was walking slow because I didn't steal anything!"
The most serious charge—according to Morris, the theft of a large amount clothes and purses from Macy's—landed her in jail for six months. While at the Cook County lockup, she was placed in an area with other transwomen inmates. Morris said that rape in that facility was a regular occurrence. "There was straight people coming over just to fuck us," she said.
Morris was transferred to the Illinois Department of Corrections minimum security facility in Vienna, Ill. Despite her gender identity, Morris was placed in a male prison. There, Morris said she was sexually harassed. "I had boys hitting on me. This guy grabbed my ass," she added. "They got away with more shit. I went crazy."
Morris was placed on medications for post-traumatic stress disorder. "It took me a long time to get myself back together," she said.
When she was not in jail, Morris spent nights in low cost apartments provided by child welfare nonprofits. She was kicked out of one at 79th and Avalon because Morris said her roommate was a member of the military who had gone AWOL, something she said she did not know. She was subsequently arrested for hiding him.
According to Morris, this occurred when she was 18.
She left the DCFS system after her nineteenth birthday and went into a life of prostitution and drugs. "I bounced around from hotel to hotel," she remembered. "That was my way of living. I couldn't get a job, or my G.E.D." She would sometimes spend nights going back and forth on the CTA Red Line. This was her life until she was 22. Even in areas like Lakeview, Morris said she was stopped, accused of prostitution and threatened with either ticketing or arrest.
In 2013, she was arrested for criminal trespassing—something Morris is at a loss to understand. She claimed she was sitting in the backseat of a friend's car that was parked at Cicero and Madison. "I got out to smoke a cigarette, then the police rolled up. First they asked me what I was doing. They said 'did you know there's a high prostitution rate out here?' They asked me for ID and then searched the car," she said. The police officers—one male and one female—ran the plate of the car and it came back as stolen. Morris was arrested.
During the entire process, Morris alleged that the male officer continually accused her of prostitution. "He's saying that 'all you gay people and drag queens do is come out here all the time and want to prostitute. Why don't you stay your asses at home?' He's calling me a faggot and I'm thinking what does that mean? Does that make me different because I'm gay?"
Morris was diagnosed as HIV-positive. She had been receiving therapy at the Howard Brown Health Center and was finally referred to Wade and the TransLife center via the City of Chicago's Central Referral System—designed to provide supportive housing for chronically homeless youth. She met Wade in June of 2013.
"A lot of case workers know about the CRS list," Wade explained. "So they help get people on it. Keyshia had been running and trying to make sense of what was going on in the world."
Wade said that they immediately noticed that Morris had power, passion and energy. "When she came to the TransLife center, she threw herself into trying to build on her strength and resiliency. She knew where she wanted to go from day one."
Her eyes lit up and Morris nodded: "My passion is doing motivational speaking and talking to other people who don't know that you can still live and be out and be HIV-positive."
She is in training as an outreach worker at the Howard Area Community Center. "I was not handed everything," Morris said. "There's no one teaching me what kind of woman I should be. I'm one of those girls who came from being quiet, came from being pushed over, came from the streets. But I believe in being assertive-aggressive. Being passive gets you nowhere. I want to tell people that you can still be the best you can be. You can stand up and you have choices. I don't do it for fame or money but my heart is what's in it."
Wade and Morris are a part of a committee that is organizing a three-day summit in early May, hosted by Tracy Baim of Windy City Times. Kim Hunt of Affinity Community Services is summit director. The first day will be all for LGBTQ youth, hosted at Lurie Children's Hospital May 2. The other two days of the summit will be at other locations, including the final day for reporting results, held at the Museum of Broadcast Communications.
"It focuses on homelessness," Morris explained "It's about having more housing for LGBT youth to go to."
"Our vision is that no LGBT young folks in Chicago should be on the streets," Wade added. "We need to ask how we are addressing the issue of homeless LGBTQ youth with both short- and long-term strategies, some that don't cost any money. This community is brilliant beyond measure. We have the resources and the capacity. We need to stand in solidarity with each other."
"This time we are giving young people a voice to speak," Morris smiled.
Windy City Times reached out to Karen Hawkins—a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services regarding Morris's story about her treatment under foster care.
"While privacy laws prevent me from speaking specifically about any one child or family's case, I can generally say that we, at DCFS, find stories like this heartbreaking," Hawkins wrote in a statement. "Our caseworkers and investigators have dedicated their lives to child welfare— to ensuring safe, loving, permanent homes for every child. One story like this is one too many, and we continue to do all we can to do right by the diverse communities of children and families we serve."
Hawkins is helping to coordinate DCFS participation in the May youth summit. Windy City Times will be announcing more details on the summit soon.

Welcome to my May newsletter.
On May 12, Toni G. Atkins was sworn in as the 69th Speaker of the State Assembly. She is only the third woman to hold the title of California Assembly Speaker. Speaker Atkins is a great leader and I look forward to working with her to make our great state even better!
The Governor released his May budget proposal revision on May 13, which includes more money for schools, courts, teacher pensions and drought relief while still paying down our debts and investing in our future.
Last week the Legislature unanimously voted to place a Rainy Day Fund on the November ballot. The Rainy Day Fund is a historic step in the right direction towards securing California's financial future. Although our economy is recovering, it is important that we make preparations for another economic downturn. I was pleased to cast my vote for this measure and I will continue to fight to protect California's future.
In this newsletter, you will learn more about the work I have been doing in Sacramento and around the district. As the legislative session continues, I hope that you will contact me about issues important to our community.
I am pleased to report that the Legislature has approved my ACR 94, which recognizes the need for local law enforcement, police and emergency medical services to coordinate their responses to active shooter situations. I introduced this measure in response to the shooting that occurred at Los Angeles International Airport last year.
My two bills to create job training opportunities have received strong support throughout the process. AB 1797 would find areas in the health care field that are in urgent need of medical providers and create "earn and learn" training opportunities for students to learn critical skills while collecting a paycheck. My Youth Apprenticeship Tax Credit bill received strong bipartisan support in committee. This bill would encourage employers to hire youth apprentices by allowing them to claim a tax credit for each apprentice.
To stay up-to-date on my legislation, please visit my legislation page.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week is celebrated nationally on May 18 through May 24. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, EMS Week honors the emergency medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, law enforcement officers, doctors, nurses, administrators and educators who make up the emergency medical services system.
I have been an Emergency Medical Technician for 30 years and it is important to me to honor the dedicated men and women in the EMS field. To kick-off EMS week I authored Assembly Concurrent Resolution 84—which established EMS week in California—and honored a group of dedicated EMS workers on the Assembly Floor.
In celebration of EMS Week, I held a Compression-Only CPR Training event with American Medical Response in Montclair. I am pleased that so many people showed up to learn this critical, life-saving skill and I look forward to holding more of these events in the future. I am also leading the charge in the State Capitol to have members of the Legislature become CPR trained. I helped train several Assemblymembers during EMS Week on CPR.
I was pleased to kick-off EMS Week and honor this dedicated group of Emergency Medical Services personnel on the Assembly Floor.
CPR is one of the most important skills to know. If CPR is administered during the first few minutes following a cardiac arrest, the patient's chances of survival increase dramatically.

When a disaster hits, it is extremely important to get quality medical care to the injured as quickly as possible. California currently owns three Mobile Field Hospitals which can be deployed to a disaster area to provide hospital-quality medical care to the injured. Each hospital has an x-ray facility, pharmacy and a laboratory.
After a disaster, hospitals experience an overwhelming influx of patients. Mobile Field Hospitals are designed to help ease the burden on local hospitals. Most importantly, these mobile hospitals are a vital resource that can provide medical care if a hospital is severely damaged or destroyed.
Due to past fiscal crises, funding for Mobile Field Hospitals has been cut from the budget, leaving these hospitals unavailable for use after a disaster. I have asked that next year's budget include the necessary funding to store and maintain these hospitals. The recent earthquakes in California and around the world are a reminder that a disaster can strike at any time. Restoring funding to these hospitals is critical to ensuring that California has the best chance of survival and recovery after a disaster.
Officials from California Emergency Medical Services Authority guided me on a tour of all three Mobile Field Hospitals last week.
Mark your calendars! On Saturday, July 19, I will be holding a Community Barbeque and Open House at my District Office in Chino from 11am to 2pm. We will be recognizing individuals from the area for their achievements, enjoying some good food and talking about issues that are important to our community. I look forward to spending some time with you and I hope to see you there!
Call my district office at (909) 902-9606 for more information.
The drought is one of the most important issues facing California and passing a water bond is a critical step in responding to this historic drought. On June 14, Assemblymember Anthony Rendon, Chair of the Assembly Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife, and I will be at the Chino Basin Water Conservation District to host a workshop on the many water bond proposals that are currently before the Legislature. This will be the first of what I hope will be many informative workshops that I plan to offer for the decision-makers in our community. For more information, or to suggest a topic for a future workshop, please call my district office at (909) 902-9606.
On May 5, I was honored to attend the 38th Annual California Peace Officers' Memorial Ceremony with Governor Jerry Brown, Attorney General Kamala Harris and California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye.
My son Vincent is a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy and this ceremony hit close to home. During the ceremony, the names of eight officers who were killed in the line of duty were added to the memorial. I am extremely grateful to our law enforcement officers for all that they do to keep our communities safe.
I was honored to author AB 1561, which will continue funding for the California Firefighters' and Peace Officers' Memorials. These memorials are a place to honor our fallen heroes and their families. It is important that they have the necessary resources to keep these memorials well-maintained and open to the public.
This summer, students across California will be celebrating their accomplishments and participating in graduation festivities. Historically, these celebrations have been accompanied by an alarming increase in drunk-driving related deaths.
June is Sober Graduation Month. The California Highway Patrol is joining forces with local communities across the state to encourage teenagers to celebrate responsibly. If you know someone who will be celebrating this summer, please take the time to talk to them about the dangers of drinking and driving.
Remarkable students from Ontario High School came to Sacramento to talk about nutrition in schools. Long lines make it difficult for students to have enough time to eat lunch and junk food in vending machines is cheaper than the healthier food options. Let's all help these young leaders solve the problems in their schools!
My Grandson Jacob joined me to learn about bicycle safety with the Pomona Police Department.
I spoke at the Healthcare for All Caravan about why it is so important for everyone to have access to quality, affordable health insurance.
Senator Norma Torres and I welcomed students from Ontario-Montclair School District to the Capitol. I had a chance to talk to them about what brought me to Sacramento and encourage them to always fight for what they believe in.
Our State Parks are a great resource to California but are too often overlooked. I got my start in elected office by advocating for the restoration of Ralph Welch Park in Pomona and I was thrilled to continue that journey and participate in the Park Advocacy Day Speaker's Series.
Upland Police Chief Jeff Mendenhall, Chino Chief Miles Pruitt, Ontario Chief Eric Hopley and San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon were in my Sacramento office to discuss public safety issues.
I was glad to work with this great group of volunteers during the 8th Annual Pomona Beautification Day.
Doctors from Arrowhead Regional Medical Center and Loma Linda University were in Sacramento to talk about improving access to quality, affordable health care.
June 7 – 8:00 am Pomona District 4 Community Cleanup. Call (909) 620-3665 for more information.
June 14- Water Bond Proposal Workshop with Assemblymember Anthony Rendon. For more information, call my District Office (909) 902-9606.
June 14 – 9:00 am Hazardous Waste/E-Waste Event at the Fairplex, Gate 9.
June 28 – 3:00 pm, Chino Fireworks Spectacular and Salute to our Armed Forces. Ruben S. Ayala Park.
July 19- 11:00am – 2:00 pm Assemblymember Rodriguez Community BBQ and Open House.


This group gives women the opportunity to discuss issues which affect them and gain mutual support. The group enjoys going out for activities and trips. Times can vary for this group depending on the activity but it will usually start at 10.00am. See our website for the latest programme of activities. Please note some of the activities may have a small charge.


If a question has been answered - How can I lock a Question thread? i.e. stop members from replying to it.
If someone can figure it how to do it (something similar to stackoverflow) that would be brilliant! I think it should be an admin or high level member (editor) function - that way a thread wouldn't run unending.
I'm trying to be hopeful because this one function would just make my day.
I know I would like to see this feature also.
