Softball Strikes First, Falls Late In Season Opener, 3-2
Alfred St.
St. Joseph (Conn.) (0-1) 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 6 0
Alfred St. (1-0) 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 3 6 2
2B: Arianna Traugott
FORT MEYERS, Fla. — The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) softball team kicked the 2019 season off with an early lead, but could not maintain it over the final two innings, falling to Alfred State College (ASC), 3-2, at the CenturyLink Sports Complex in Fort Myers, Fla. Saturday morning.
Teams are competing all week down south in the annual Gene Cusic Classic, created by Cusic and Lee County Parks and Recreation (FL), giving collegiate baseball and softball teams an opportunity to participate in a classic style tournament during their respective spring breaks.
The Pioneers (1-0) scored the game-winning run in walk-off fashion on a wild pitch, after loading the bases to start the bottom of the seventh inning. The Blue Jays (0-1) led 2-0 into the bottom of the sixth but allowed three runs in the final two innings to suffer the setback. Freshman center fielder Marissa Varela (Egg Harbor Township, N.J.) finished 1-for-3 with an RBI single for the Pioneers. Sophomore first baseman Ashley Peterson (Maybrook, N.Y.) followed it up with an RBI single to right, scoring Varela to tie the game at two. Freshman third baseman Arianna Traugott (Elmira, N.Y.) had the only extra base hit of the game, a double in the bottom of the second, while junior catcher McKenna Driscoll (Bristol, Conn.) drove in both of USJ's runs on the day, finishing 2-for-3 with two singles.
Junior pitcher Amaria Sharon (Tolland, Conn.) pitched five innings, allowing just three hits and three walks, to go along with six strikeouts for USJ. Freshman pitcher Brittany Fisher (Indianapolis, Ind.) struck out four in seven complete innings of work to earn the win for ASC.
The Blue Jays struck first in the top of the third inning with a two-RBI single off the bat of Driscoll. The Blue Jays loaded the bases highlighted by a bunt single from sophomore second baseman Michelle Woodruff (Southington, Conn.) and single from senior third baseman Kara Klimaszewski(Naugatuck, Conn.). Both Woodruff and Klimaszewski would score on the two-out rip to right field by Driscoll to give USJ the early 2-0 advantage.
Sharon used experience to her advantage, forcing several fly-outs and groundouts, in addition to six strikeouts, to stymie the Pioneers over her five innings of work. The Blue Jays then turned to freshman pitcher Julia Annecchiarico (Ludlow, Conn.) for relief to start the bottom of the sixth, but the Pioneer bats suddenly caught fire, as Fisher scored on an RBI single from Varela to make it 2-1.
After a fly out, Peterson singled to right, scoring Varela to tie it at two. Annecchiarico retired the next two batters to end the inning and keep things deadlocked. Annecchiarico singled in the top of the seventh, but Saint Joe's was unable to respond.
The Pioneers kept up the pressure in the bottom of the seventh, knowing they needed just more run to complete the comeback. Freshman pitcher Natalie Amato (Cheshire, Conn.) came in after the first two runners reached on a walk and hit batter. ASC loaded the bases with nobody out following a bunt single, and after a wild pitch, the Pioneers brought home the winning run to clinch their first victory of the season.
USJ will be competing all week long in the annual Gene Cusic Classic in Fort Meyers, Florida. The Blue Jays will play in their second straight doubleheader Sunday, March 10 against Lesley (MA) at 9:00 a.m., and Western Connecticut State (CT) at 1:00 p.m.


This weekend I read a FANTASTIC article from the Los Angeles Times called "How Not To Say The Wrong Thing" by Susan Silk and Barry Goldman. It's about how not to be a discouragement when someone is in a situation of serious illness, grief, trauma, bereavement or difficulty. It is called the Ring Theory. You can read the full article here.
Comfort in, dump out. That is, you find your spot within the circles and then you offer only words or actions of comfort to anyone further in than you. If you need to dump on someone, you do that with those further out from your spot.
I couldn't believe how awful he looked.
I felt sick seeing him in hospital.
I hate going into hospitals.
I don't agree with some of the decisions the family is making on his behalf.
He is taking a long time to get over this.
I saw him the other day and he looked fine to me. He's just putting it on.
This whole thing is really putting a dampener on our lives.
Do want to know what I would do if this was happening to me?
Are you still dragging yourself around?
Or doing dopey stuff like asking someone closer to the centre to look after your kids for you all weekend so that you can get away for a bit because the whole thing is getting you down.
The point is this. Your aim is to not make things harder for those further in than you. If you are struggling and you're not the person in the middle you should set out to find the support you need from those who are further from the centre and probably feeling stronger than you are, so that you can be strong to comfort and support those who are closer to or right in at the centre.
Comfort in, dump out. Good thinking.
That's an incredibly concise and clever way of putting it! Wow. That's really helpful.
It's SO VERY helpful. I've been thinking about it a lot since I first read it. Of course, it requires discipline to put in into action. Much easier to dump than to comfort. But maybe awareness is a helpful first step.
Thank you, it does give a clear way to think about one particular situation. But what to do when practically everyone close is at or near the centre of their own circle... who to ask for help? Thank God for his grace, even through others who are suffering.
Thanks Sarah. Yes, I think this diagram needs to be put on a billboard in some prominent position!
And hi Liz. Thanks for dropping by. That is a great question that you ask. The Ring Theory certainly isn't a "one size fits all" thing. And it doesn't take in how God works through suffering - those experiencing it and also the observers. In fact, it doesn't bring God into the equation at all. As you say, it doesn't say what to do when there are of lots of people in the centre. And very, very occasionally, tough love applied with great care and wisdom can be called for.
But I do like the reminder that it isn't always about me. I think we all need to hear that sometimes. Maybe even lots of the time. Praise God for His grace and that He has His sovereign hand on all things.

Tester: Hispanic with thick, naturally wavy hair that is highlighted. Hair is normally very dry.
"Pantene is filling a great niche with this new Nature Fusion line. Often, natural/organic hair care products are hard to find, or not always budget friendly. Here is a line that has many natural, smoothing ingredients (botanical blend of cassia, calendula, ginger and aloe vera) and fewer additives that their other hair care lines (note: it is NOT organic and does still contain sulfates), and performs very well at a perfect price.
I thought the Moisture Balance Conditioner was great in particular. I used it about 3x week after washing with the (Moisture Balance Shampoo). It's pale mint green in color and I liked the fragrance (a fresh, light floral), which was lighter and less persistent than that of Pantene's other lines. It wasn't heavy but really moisturized both my scalp and especially my ends. After my hair dried it was shiny and smooth. My frizz was significantly reduced and after using on a regular basis every week my hair looked and felt much healthier. I will continue to use and encourage those of you who like the Pantene products or are looking for a more natural alternative to give this line a go!" L.R.
Go-->Pantene Nature Fusion products are available at most drugstore chains nationwide and include both Moisture Balance and Smooth Vitality lines.

Q: Android: Onclick not working in VerticalGridView I have an activity which creates a fragment with VerticalGridView.
In activity I have this:
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(final int keyCode, final KeyEvent event) {
    if (fragment != null) {
        if (fragment.handleKeyDown(keyCode)) {
            return true;
        }

        // todo swallow some events
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

Since I need to do some special treatment for UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT so I override this onKeyDown.
Then I have a custom viewHolder GridItemViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder, in this viewHolder I have:
    gridItemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                LOG.d("onclick!!");
            }
        });

But this onclick method is never called when I press "Enter". Am I missing something here? Is onKeyDown override the onClick?
Thanks!!

A: Use OnItemClickListener for GridView
gridItemView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                                int i, long id) {
        LOG.d("onclick!!"+i);

}
        });

Little progress in large coal
The PDB and Korea Electric Power Corporation had inked an MoU for a 1,320 MW coal-fired power plant at Anwara upazila of Chittagong. Rural Power Company Limited (RPCL) with Chinese state-owned Norinco International Ltd will build a 1320 MW coal-based plant in Patuakhali. In addition, the BCPCL, a joint venture of Bangladesh and China, is
Y. Yan, in Advanced Power Plant Materials, Design and Technology, 2010. 10.1 Introduction. Coal-fired power stations are burning an increasingly varied range of fuels and fuel blends, including sub-bituminous and lower volatile coals and biomass of varying composition and combustion properties, under tight economic and environmental constraints. Since existing coal-fired plants are not
Solar developer buying land around fading coal
Jul 14, 2020A French solar developer is buying up land around coal-fired power plants in Kansas, Nebraska and New Mexico, attempting to take advantage once the plants are shut down. Photosol US, a subsidiary of a French company, has purchased options near plants in Nebraska and Kansas, as well as the San Juan Generating Station in northern New Mexico.
US power generators set for another big year in coal plant
Meanwhile, coal plant operators in the Electric Reliability Council Of Texas Inc. have pulled the plug on 4,973 MW of capacity since 2014. American Electric Power Co. Inc.'s, or AEP's, plans to shut down the 650-MW Oklaunion coal plant in Texas this year is the only announced retirement in ERCOT through 2025, data shows.
Coal in the Industrial Revolution
Jul 01, 2019During the period of the industrial revolution, as demand for coal soared thanks to iron and steam, as the technology to produce coal improved and the ability to move it increased, coal experienced a massive escalation.From 1700 to 1750 production increased by 50% and nearly another by 1800. During the later years of the first revolution, as steam power really took a firm grip, this rate
The Facts About Air Quality and Coal
Today's coal-fired electricity generating plants produce more power, with less emission of criteria pollutants, than ever before. According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), a new pulverized coal plant (operating at lower, "subcritical" temperatures and pressures) reduces the emission of NO x by 86 percent, SO 2 by 98
Coal Fired Power Plant, Hydro Power Plant, Solar Power
Dongturbo Electric Company Ltd (DTEC). is an international corporation, with its headquarter in Chengdu, China, and manufacturing bases in Deyang and Kunming, China, mainly engaged in the manufacturing of power electric equipments, EPCC(engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning), investment finance, and export and import business.
U.S. Coal
In 2010, coal-generated 45 percent of the nation's electricity with 317 gigawatts of coal-fired generating capacity—30 percent of the generating fleet. Last year, the United States generated only 24 percent of its electricity from coal and coal-fired generating capacity fell to 234 gigawatts (as of October 2019). Between 2010 and the first quarter of 2019, U.S. power companies announced

Addressing Hard Coal Emissions
Coal power emissions are now down by 43% since 2013 – hard coal is down 57% and lignite is down 26%. In that time, the remaining gas oil generation emissions have risen by only 7%. This led to a 29% fall in total power sector emissions in just six years.
How to Calculate the Coal Quantity Used in a Power Plant
Modern Rankine cycle, adopted in coal fired power plants, have efficiencies that vary from 32 % to 42 %. This depends mainly on the steam parameters. Higher steam perssure and temperatures in the range of 600 C and 230 bar have efficiencies around 42 %. We assume a value of 38 % for our case.
Feb 26, 2019The mine and coal-fired power plant, which at their peak employed 170 people, are now down to 24, Sherriff said. The mine is already closed, and the plant will be shuttered in 2022. Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, which operated the mine and plant, set up a $50,000 block grant to aid businesses, but the town was pretty much
Mapped: The world's coal power plants in 2020
Mapped: The world's coal power plants. Since 2000, the world has doubled its coal-fired power capacity to around 2,045 gigawatts (GW) after explosive growth in China and India. A further 200GW is being built and 300GW is planned. More recently, 268GW has closed due
Coal-fired power plants, long the mainstay of the electric generating fleet, have been retiring in record numbers over the past several years and more are planning to close in the years ahead. This is a dramatic reversal for what was once the leading source of electricity production in the country. Coal plants are generally large facilities
Animation: Every Coal Power Plant in the World (1927
Dec 26, 2019Today's animation from SVT Nyheter details every coal power plant in the world from 1927 to 2019, and it shows that coal power — especially in South Asia — has continued to ramp up. As of 2019, there are an estimated 2,425 coal-fired power plants in the world, combining for an operating capacity of about 2,000 GW and roughly 15 billion
Steam power plants
Going forward, the good experiences gained from existing high-end ultra-super critical (USC) coal-fired power plants needs to be transferred to power plants of the 350-MW size. Innovative products are needed to serve this market segment in the most beneficial way for power plant owners.
BankTrack – ırpılar coal power plant
The ırpılar power plant is a proposed coal-fired power plant to be located in the anakkale province, near ırpılar, Turkey. It would be fuelled by a new open-pit lignite (brown coal) mine, which would cover an area of 845 hectares. The plant would consume 3.5 million tonnes of lignite per year, and produce 200MW of thermal energy

I am an old school photographer, meaning I shoot with my heart. As an immigrant in Canada I realize that very few of the Canadian photographers, understand the dynamics of the African culture, thus I began the full journey to capture and memorize our culture in images . Creating memories that are timeless and yet reflect your story as seen through my lens, but captured in my heart. Oh yes, I shoot from my heart rather than just using all the photography techniques, I am always looking for that sometimes tiny living and loving moment which no one sees. The smile and tears of joy that I see in people during their special moments permit me to realize that love is a universal language. I look forward to photographing and creating images for your family and your special day.
Being in the hospital and capturing the birth of my daughter is the singular achievement for me.
What are your favorite moments to capture?
I always want to see the first dance between father and daughter, that moment, that silent smile they share with each other on the dance floor, the unspoken love language. I almost see the shape of the world as a heart.
How was your last experience at our networking sessions?
My first Manyatta experience was great. I was able to connect with some individuals and so far I look forward to the next one.

Boundaries – Event courses will be outlined in ribbon. If you hit a boundary ribbon, a 30 second penalty will be added for each boundary hit. If any two tires of your vehicle cross a boundary ribbon you are disqualified and a DNF is given with a distance marked.
Gate markers – Some event courses will have gate marker that you will be required to drive between. Hitting or straddling a gate will add 30 seconds to your time.
Rollover – A vehicle may only be righted using the vehicles own winch. If your vehicle does not have a winch, the judge may use a tow strap to right the vehicle and a 30 second penalty will be added.
Winching – You may only winch off of natural terrain or provided winch points. No boots, hand of god, or holding the cable. Use of land anchor is recommended. Courtesy winch is a 30 second per use penalty.
Dig/Rear Steer – There will be a 30 second per course penalty for using dig or rear steer.
Top Truck Challenge will contain seven events (listed below, subject to change). All competitors will be invited to compete in each event unless they have been disqualified or their vehicle is inoperable. Following are the basics of each event. You will be given detailed instructions prior to each competition.
The Show and Shine is done by combining your scale points based off of SORRCA rules and being judged by your peers on Best Paint, Best Body, Best Cage Work, Best Interior, and Best Overall Build.
The Sled Pull is done by attaching a pull sled with weight to the back of your rig and seeing how far you can drag it. Farthest distance wins.
The Frame Twister is a mix of concrete, rocks, logs, and water. You'll be given approximately 8 minutes to complete the course. If you exceed the time limit, we will pull you out. We will have the course marked with cones to make sure you drive through the good parts, instead of around them. If the inside of one of your vehicles tires goes past the outside of a cone you will be disqualified at that point. Time will be added to your overall course time for any safety violations.
The Obstacle Course is timed and is a test of driver skill, traction, stability, and maneuverability. The course is marked with cones, and penalties in the form of seconds will be added to your overall time. Driving accuracy has equal importance to all-out speed. You will not be allowed to see the course beforehand. Cones appear at various places on the course. Hitting a cone results in a time penalty. If three of your vehicles tires travel outside of a cone you will be disqualified at that point. You will be given approximately 8 minutes to complete the course.
The Hill Climb is a long vertical rise that is steep, loose, and littered with man-made holes. The event is scored for speed, with the fastest time winning. You will be allowed approximately 5 minutes to complete the course. During this time you can stop, winch, back-up, etc. Judges will only stop a competitor if they deviate from the course or if the situation appears unsafe. No crew or spectators are allowed on the course due to space constraints.
The Tank Trap is our extreme trail, a very difficult and narrow uphill canyon with a series of mud bogs. It is driven (or winched) uphill, and is likely to include loose dirt, steep slopes, narrow sluices, deep water, and perhaps a loose tree limb, as well as plenty of poison oak everywhere. Prerunning or pre-walking the Tank Trap is not allowed. Each challenger will have 10 minutes to complete this event. Pairs of cones appear at various places on the course. At least two of your vehicles tires must travel between the cones or you will be disqualified at that point. Competitors who have completed the course are invited to watch the event from approved viewing areas marked with yellow caution tape.
The Mud Pit is variable. It typically ranges from 3 inches to 12 inches deep in depth. The event is timed, with the fastest time winning. Competitors who do not complete the course are awarded points based on the overall distance traveled. Once your forward motion ceases, you will be signaled by a judge to stop, your distance will be measured from the start line, and we will extract you using a strap. There will be water adjacent to the mud pit for rinsing off the bottom of your truck once you've completed your run.
Each event will be run one vehicle at a time. We reserve the right to amend the maximum allowed times or the event configuration at our discretion.
The starting order for events will be chosen in advance. You will get just one try at each event unless a re-start is agreed to by all judges and all competitors.
Any vehicle may opt to skip any event, for any reason, but will accrue zero points for that event. Any truck that is late for its starting position at an event will forfeit all points for that event. EXCEPTION: If a truck cannot start an event on time due to mechanical difficulties, it may be permitted to go last if approved by all the other challengers. Otherwise, once the starting order for an event has been determined, challengers may not make any changes to it unless approved by all judges and competitors.
ABOVE ALL ELSE, HELP EACH OTHER AND KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE! TOP TRUCK CHALLENGE IS ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN!
Each competitor will run the course and attempt to make it to the finish line in the allotted time. Each competitor will be ranked based on time and distance. Best time and furthest distance will get first place. Each place position is your points. Lowest points win. So best score over the 6 events be a 6.
Time will count down from course limit. So a higher time is better.
All penalties are -30 second from your finish time.
DNF equals a zero on your time.
So if you DNF and get 3 penalties your time would be set as -90 seconds.
Scores are ranked first by time and then by distance. If 4 people all have a zero time, then one with furthest distance is first and so one.
We are keeping this simple on purpose and making it easy for everyone to understand.
Show N Shine will take into account your scale points as per SORRCA rules. Scale points will be assed and then halved and rounded down. You will then be judged by your peers for Best Paint, Best Body, Best Cage Work, Best Interior, and Best Overall Build. Each vote will be -1. Again lowest score wins. Your Show N Shine score will then be added to your other 6 events for your total daily score. If at any time you remove any items that were on your vehicle during Show N Shine that do not break off or fall off as a result of the other events, you will be disqualified and 20 points will be added to your score.
Best possible score for the whole TTC will be a 7. Worst possible score is 350.

These sites are actually quite common, but unfortunately, the source in this article was written prior to rigorous archeological standards being developed.
The "bone-pits", usually called ossuaries by archeologists, generally number 15-60 individuals and exclusively date from 900 AD to 1500 AD. The cause of death is tuberculosis in at least some of these graves.
The lack of earlier ossuaries matches my own search on Google Scholar.
Based on this, I recommend that you take down this page since it does not convey any useful information other than regurgitating an out-dated source that is based on rumors rather than science.
There are literally hundreds to thousands of burial and building mounds across the Northeastern United States with a miniscule percentage having been excavated, and even less excavated properly. It's unfortunate that more attention hasn't been given these mounds. However, proof from these mounds that events documented in The Book of Mormon happened in this area unfortunately won't resolve anything. Unbelievers will twist, demean and rationalize proof to suit their unbelief as they have always done, while believers will continue to build their faith regardless of man's opinions and misinterpretation. And God, the author of all truth, should be our most respected source in silencing men's incorrect ideas and verifying absolute truth. I look forward to further examination of these mounds but doubt anything will will be done with them.


The history of Vietnam lies in this bowl, for it is in Hanoi, the Vietnamese heart, that pho was born, a combination of the rice noodles that predominated after a thousand years of Chinese occupation and the taste for beef the Vietnamese acquired under the French, who turned their cows away from ploughs and into bifteck and pot-au-feu . The name of their national soup is pronounced like this French word for fire, as Hung's Uncle Chien explained to him long ago. "We're clever people," his uncle had said. "We took the best the occupiers had to offer and made it our own. Fish sauce is the key--in matters of soup and well beyond. Even romance, some people say." --from The Beauty of Humanity Movement (p 5) by Camilla Gibb Old Man Hu'ng has been making and selling pho to hungry devotees for nearly 70 years, continually adapting his recipe and the location of his food cart to accommodate the terrible demands of poverty, war and oppression that have plagued Hanoi throughout his long life. Cherished least of all his mother's ten children thanks to an inauspicious facial birthmark, Hu'ng was sent in 1933 to apprentice at his Uncle Chien's restaurant where he achieved mastery over broth and noodles. Inheriting the business from his uncle, Hu'ng's sublime cookery and willingness to barter made him a favourite in the 1950s with the Beauty of Humanity Movement, a group of artists and intellectuals who dared question Communist rule, at great peril. Heading the Movement was Dao, a poet whose young son Binh would shadow Hu'ng at the restaurant, hungry not for noodles but for the attention that his own revolutionary father was too distracted to provide. When Dao was inevitably arrested, Binh's mother whisked the boy into hiding, blinding him in one eye to avoid conscription. Hu'ng was forced to close his restaurant, but not knowing any other life's work, he persisted in making and selling pho by pushing a food cart through the city, even when forced to make his noodles with scavenged pond weeds. Fifty years later, Binh is a middle-class Hanoi carpenter who once again consumes daily bowls of Hu'ng's pho, following the old man to whatever location he has moved to in order to evade police beatings. Binh tries valiantly to protect Hu'ng, the gentle old man who is as close to a father as he has ever known. By extension Hu'ng is also a grandfather to Binh's son Tu', a somewhat aimless Nike-shod tour guide who wears his clothes and hair in modern fashion, and yet whose spirited idealism reminds Hu'ng of his revolutionist grandfather. Then one day Hu'ng's improvised pho stand is visited by a beautiful stranger, Maggie, a foreign-raised Vietnamese art curator who was spirited out of Hanoi as a child during the fall of Saigon. Her artist father disappeared in those tumultuous times, and Maggie has returned to the country of her birth to learn his fate. Hearing of Hu'ng's reputation, she has come to plead for answers--did he know her father? Hu'ng's memory is failing, but he dearly wants to help this young woman, whose beauty sends him back to a time long ago, when he loved a girl whose betrayal he has never forgiven. . . Steeped in rich and highly evocative language, Camilla Gibb's The Beauty of Humanity Movement is a nuanced and gentle paean for Vietnam, a poignant testament to the strength and resiliency of love and art in overcoming terrible hardship.
Searching for answers about her dissident father's disappearance, a Vietnamese-American art curator returns to her ancestral country, where she meets a venerable pho stall soup maker and a dynamic young tour guide whose historical and cultural insights irrevocably shape her life.

We Missed our Own Groundbreaking!


Suzuki Katana Akrapovic Exhaust ǀ EICMA Milan : Suzuki have revealed their big, new, retro bruiser, the GSX-S1000-based Katana, will cost 11,399 afterward it arrives in dealers in tardy April. We've already ridden it on the launch, and now we're looking talk to to one joining the MCN Fleet in a few months.
Born in 1981, the original Suzuki Katana became an instant legend (lets acquit yourself the watered-down 600cc blobs of the 90s didnt happen) for its iconic styling and for its outstanding performance. In a way, no in the same way as Suzuki superbike model ever conquered the hearts of the enthusiasts as much as the Katana did, to the dwindling that it still enjoys a special area in our memories. Now Suzuki brings the say back up and does it gone a model that promises to reply without difficulty to the expectations of todays discerning motorcycling market.

Gulmarg comes to life with New Year revellers like old times
The ski resort of Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir is going to stage a gala welcome, like the good old days, to the New Year as the resort is completely sold out to revellers on Monday.
Altaf Ahmad, Manager of a local hotel, told IANS: "The place is overbooked. There is no hotel that is not running to full capacity in Gulmarg today as tourists from all over the country have gathered to celebrate the New Year."
It is after a long time since militancy started in Kashmir that Gulmarg has come to life in such a big way.
"The place used to be the most sought destination for Bollywood before militancy started. Over the years, Gulmarg did not get its fair share of visitors, but it appears today that the old times are again here," said a thrilled hotel receptionist, Shabir Ahmed, as he battled the rush of guests.
Gulmarg has a Gandola ropeway that carries visitors to the Afarwat Hills situated at a height of 14,403 feet above the sea level. There are snowbikes for the adventure lovers as there are centrally heated hotel rooms for those who come to relax in the snow clad meadow.
One small disappointment that the new year celebrations could face was the absence of snowfall which traditionally lashes Gulmarg around new year.
The good news is that the weather office has forecast light to moderate snow in the Valley on Tuesday.

Q: Equivalent of "to be clothed" for plumage Context: I'm writing a book half from the perspective of a non-human character, who has grown up in a non-human culture and civilization. So, the language she uses to describe the events and setting should reflect her non-human background.
Problem: Since these non-human characters (harpies: half human half bird) do not wear clothes, she would not use words such as "clothed" to describe something, even metaphorically. For example, she would not say that "the low hills are clothed in evergreen" because that metaphor would mean nothing to her. In short, I'm looking for an equivalent of "clothed" for plumage.
My reject box:
The hatchling is feathered with soft down. / The low hills are feathered with evergreen. (Closest, but implies a very light cover or a fringe.)
The hatchling is bedecked with soft down. / The low hills are bedecked with evergreen. (Implies extravagance.)
The hatchling is garbed with soft down. / The low hills are garbed in evergreen. (Same problem as with "clothed.")
The hatchling is covered with soft down. / The low hills are covered with evergreen. (Not specific or vivid).
The hatchling is plumed with soft down. / The low hills are plumed with evergreen. (A twisted usage, but it could work in a fictional story.)
I feel like there must be a word for this. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

A: In my opinion, you've rejected the word that is exactly analogous and appropriate.
At least with respect to the scenario outlined in the question, as clothes is to clothed, so to is feathers to feathered.
Even if we were looking at the dictionary definition of feathered, "a very light cover or a fringe" is not what it means in this sense.
From Merriam-Webster's definition of feathered:

1 : having feathers
    // … misidentified as … a flying reptile, not a feathered dinosaur…
    — Luis M. Chiappe
    // referring to birds as "our feathered friends"
2 : covered or decorated with feathers
    // He was a big man, and in his costume— … feathered anklets, feathered gauntlets, beaded headband … —he seemed magnified in every dimension, almost a spirit-being.
    — Ian Frazier
    // From this region come the magnificent beadwork art, the buckskin garments, the great feathered war bonnet, and the concept of long fringed shirts.
    — Frederick J. Dockstader

However, in point of fact, we should not be looking at the dictionary definition of feathered. As far as this creature is concerned, that's beside the point. Just as it doesn't understand our use of clothed because it doesn't wear clothes, we (analogously) shouldn't be imposing our own use of feathered on its language—because we don't have feathers.
If clothed is appropriate to us, but meaningless to it, then it doesn't matter if feathered is not appropriate to us. Whatever  it wears or has, the adjectival equivalent of that noun is appropriate to it.
Luckily though, feathered actually is meaningful, even by our definition of the word.

McBride and Maciuba in SFH Gallery
It's all about the land
Two artists present their work in a joint exhibition in the Symphony's gallery on Broadway in Cottonwood Falls.
Bill McBride, a sculptor living in Matfield Green, works with natural and man-made materials he finds in the tallgrass prairie of the Flint Hills. His sculpture expresses his view that humans, nature and everyday objects evolve as equals from the creative energy of the ever-changing universe.
Amanda Maciuba, a printmaker and bookmaker from Iowa at present works as artist in residence at the Lawrence Art Center and at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. Her work is concerned with how the effects of purposeful human actions, alongside uncontrollable factors of time and nature, alter both the current landscape and human agency within that landscape.
The body of Maciuba's work on show focuses on Eastern Iowa. The aftermath of the five-hundred-year flood strongly influenced her. "I am interested in the irony of rebuilding the same buildings on almost the same ground that flooded in 2008 and how these actions demonstrate the stubborn perversity of American development procedures in the face of natural disasters often brought about by climate change. The frequency and consistency of weather-related emergencies I witnessed while living in Iowa City paralleled the physical and emotional remnants of the five-hundred- year flood. Every year, the river was sandbagged just in case the water got too high again, every year the 'flood- proof walls' went up and then came back down."
While the work on show in Cottonwood Falls specifically refers to Iowa City, it can also relate to similar efforts of construction and destruction occurring because of, or in spite of, climate change. "As I create the work I question how the land we live on has become what it is today. And I consider my own impact upon the landscape."
McBride's work is "Earth Art" – of and about the earth; like Maciuba's work it is of and about humans and nature. He makes smaller sculpture for interiors as well as large, outdoor site-specific pieces. "In my studio I muse about the objects I encounter – branches, stone, barb wire wooden posts, parts of ranching machinery. Each has a story to tell. I explore relationships between the different objects (visual resonance, structural character, evocative power) and add my own experiences, perceptions, feelings, and memories. Form and metaphor emerge through dialogue between creative forces – the place, materials, and me, the sculptor."
McBride is currently at work on a sculpture path, a joint effort with the Center for Living Education in Matfield Green and Wichita State University Art Department on the Flint Hills Scenic Byway just north of Matfield Green. McBride's installations and earth art by other artists will form Matfield Station Sculpture Prairie, opening to the public in 2017. McBride says, "The path invites people to experience the prairie and art at the same time."

It was broad day when I awoke and found myself tossing at the south-west end of Treasure Island. The sun was up but was still hid from me behind the great bulk of the Spy-glass, which on this side descended almost to the sea in formidable cliffs.
Haulbowline Head and Mizzen-mast Hill were at my elbow, the hill bare and dark, the head bound with cliffs forty or fifty feet high and fringed with great masses of fallen rock. I was scarce a quarter of a mile to seaward, and it was my first thought to paddle in and land.
That notion was soon given over. Among the fallen rocks the breakers spouted and bellowed; loud reverberations, heavy sprays flying and falling, succeeded one another from second to second; and I saw myself, if I ventured nearer, dashed to death upon the rough shore or spending my strength in vain to scale the beetling crags.
Nor was that all, for crawling together on flat tables of rock or letting themselves drop into the sea with loud reports I beheld huge slimy monsters—soft snails, as it were, of incredible bigness—two or three score of them together, making the rocks to echo with their barkings.
I have understood since that they were sea lions, and entirely harmless. But the look of them, added to the difficulty of the shore and the high running of the surf, was more than enough to disgust me of that landing-place. I felt willing rather to starve at sea than to confront such perils.
In the meantime I had a better chance, as I supposed, before me. North of Haulbowline Head, the land runs in a long way, leaving at low tide a long stretch of yellow sand. To the north of that, again, there comes another cape—Cape of the Woods, as it was marked upon the chart—buried in tall green pines, which descended to the margin of the sea.
I remembered what Silver had said about the current that sets northward along the whole west coast of Treasure Island, and seeing from my position that I was already under its influence, I preferred to leave Haulbowline Head behind me and reserve my strength for an attempt to land upon the kindlier-looking Cape of the Woods.
There was a great, smooth swell upon the sea. The wind blowing steady and gentle from the south, there was no contrariety between that and the current, and the billows rose and fell unbroken.
Had it been otherwise, I must long ago have perished; but as it was, it is surprising how easily and securely my little and light boat could ride. Often, as I still lay at the bottom and kept no more than an eye above the gunwale, I would see a big blue summit heaving close above me; yet the coracle would but bounce a little, dance as if on springs, and subside on the other side into the trough as lightly as a bird.
I began after a little to grow very bold and sat up to try my skill at paddling. But even a small change in the disposition of the weight will produce violent changes in the behaviour of a coracle. And I had hardly moved before the boat, giving up at once her gentle dancing movement, ran straight down a slope of water so steep that it made me giddy, and struck her nose, with a spout of spray, deep into the side of the next wave.
I was drenched and terrified, and fell instantly back into my old position, whereupon the coracle seemed to find her head again and led me as softly as before among the billows. It was plain she was not to be interfered with, and at that rate, since I could in no way influence her course, what hope had I left of reaching land?
I began to be horribly frightened, but I kept my head, for all that. First, moving with all care, I gradually baled out the coracle with my sea-cap; then, getting my eye once more above the gunwale, I set myself to study how it was she managed to slip so quietly through the rollers.
I found each wave, instead of the big, smooth glossy mountain it looks from shore or from a vessel's deck, was for all the world like any range of hills on dry land, full of peaks and smooth places and valleys. The coracle, left to herself, turning from side to side, threaded, so to speak, her way through these lower parts and avoided the steep slopes and higher, toppling summits of the wave.
"Well, now," thought I to myself, "it is plain I must lie where I am and not disturb the balance; but it is plain also that I can put the paddle over the side and from time to time, in smooth places, give her a shove or two towards land." No sooner thought upon than done. There I lay on my elbows in the most trying attitude, and every now and again gave a weak stroke or two to turn her head to shore.
It was very tiring and slow work, yet I did visibly gain ground; and as we drew near the Cape of the Woods, though I saw I must infallibly miss that point, I had still made some hundred yards of easting. I was, indeed, close in. I could see the cool green tree-tops swaying together in the breeze, and I felt sure I should make the next promontory without fail.
It was high time, for I now began to be tortured with thirst. The glow of the sun from above, its thousandfold reflection from the waves, the sea-water that fell and dried upon me, caking my very lips with salt, combined to make my throat burn and my brain ache. The sight of the trees so near at hand had almost made me sick with longing, but the current had soon carried me past the point, and as the next reach of sea opened out, I beheld a sight that changed the nature of my thoughts.
Right in front of me, not half a mile away, I beheld the Hispaniola under sail. I made sure, of course, that I should be taken; but I was so distressed for want of water that I scarce knew whether to be glad or sorry at the thought, and long before I had come to a conclusion, surprise had taken entire possession of my mind and I could do nothing but stare and wonder.
The Hispaniola was under her main-sail and two jibs, and the beautiful white canvas shone in the sun like snow or silver. When I first sighted her, all her sails were drawing; she was lying a course about north-west, and I presumed the men on board were going round the island on their way back to the anchorage. Presently she began to fetch more and more to the westward, so that I thought they had sighted me and were going about in chase. At last, however, she fell right into the wind's eye, was taken dead aback, and stood there awhile helpless, with her sails shivering.
"Clumsy fellows," said I; "they must still be drunk as owls." And I thought how Captain Smollett would have set them skipping.
Meanwhile the schooner gradually fell off and filled again upon another tack, sailed swiftly for a minute or so, and brought up once more dead in the wind's eye. Again and again was this repeated. To and fro, up and down, north, south, east, and west, the Hispaniola sailed by swoops and dashes, and at each repetition ended as she had begun, with idly flapping canvas. It became plain to me that nobody was steering. And if so, where were the men? Either they were dead drunk or had deserted her, I thought, and perhaps if I could get on board I might return the vessel to her captain.
The current was bearing coracle and schooner southward at an equal rate. As for the latter's sailing, it was so wild and intermittent, and she hung each time so long in irons, that she certainly gained nothing, if she did not even lose. If only I dared to sit up and paddle, I made sure that I could overhaul her. The scheme had an air of adventure that inspired me, and the thought of the water breaker beside the fore companion doubled my growing courage.
Up I got, was welcomed almost instantly by another cloud of spray, but this time stuck to my purpose and set myself, with all my strength and caution, to paddle after the unsteered Hispaniola. Once I shipped a sea so heavy that I had to stop and bail, with my heart fluttering like a bird, but gradually I got into the way of the thing and guided my coracle among the waves, with only now and then a blow upon her bows and a dash of foam in my face.
I was now gaining rapidly on the schooner; I could see the brass glisten on the tiller as it banged about, and still no soul appeared upon her decks. I could not choose but suppose she was deserted. If not, the men were lying drunk below, where I might batten them down, perhaps, and do what I chose with the ship.
For some time she had been doing the worse thing possible for me—standing still. She headed nearly due south, yawing, of course, all the time. Each time she fell off, her sails partly filled, and these brought her in a moment right to the wind again. I have said this was the worst thing possible for me, for helpless as she looked in this situation, with the canvas cracking like cannon and the blocks trundling and banging on the deck, she still continued to run away from me, not only with the speed of the current, but by the whole amount of her leeway, which was naturally great.
But now, at last, I had my chance. The breeze fell for some seconds, very low, and the current gradually turning her, the Hispaniola revolved slowly round her centre and at last presented me her stern, with the cabin window still gaping open and the lamp over the table still burning on into the day. The main-sail hung drooped like a banner. She was stock-still but for the current.
For the last little while I had even lost, but now redoubling my efforts, I began once more to overhaul the chase.
I was not a hundred yards from her when the wind came again in a clap; she filled on the port tack and was off again, stooping and skimming like a swallow.
My first impulse was one of despair, but my second was towards joy. Round she came, till she was broadside on to me—round still till she had covered a half and then two thirds and then three quarters of the distance that separated us. I could see the waves boiling white under her forefoot. Immensely tall she looked to me from my low station in the coracle.
And then, of a sudden, I began to comprehend. I had scarce time to think—scarce time to act and save myself. I was on the summit of one swell when the schooner came stooping over the next. The bowsprit was over my head. I sprang to my feet and leaped, stamping the coracle under water. With one hand I caught the jib-boom, while my foot was lodged between the stay and the brace; and as I still clung there panting, a dull blow told me that the schooner had charged down upon and struck the coracle and that I was left without retreat on the Hispaniola.

Greenbelt requested that Grace do a service at the festival at very short notice. Most Grace people were already away on summer holidays, and only a few were going to Greenbelt. So we recruited some Proost friends who would be there, and connected it to the promotion of the Future present book at the festival.
Rectangle of soil on tarpaulin in centre. Objects concealed in it to be taken out in the first section.
Steve Leach plays soundtrack of child speaking a version of the Genesis 1 creation story. James Fox Robinson, dressed as a steampunk explorer, took objects out of the soil which related to the creation story.
it is not only creation but creativity that awes us.
It is a wondrous, fearsome thing that you share your power to create.
May we dance, drift and dream.
we shrink from your power yet we claim it.
or darkness descend upon a heart.
as you breathed life into dust.
We wrote the word 'imagine' in nightlights on the soil and tried to light them - unfortunately the cold wind kept blowing them out! So we continued the futile lighting until it became a part of the 'grief' section following. Andy Freeman made a 'tree' from sticks on an adjacent tarpaulin.
Believe me, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it will remain only a single seed. But if it dies, it will produce many seeds.
Sometimes dreams turn to nothing or we get stuck as we face difficulty. But grief can be the trigger for innovation. Dissatisfaction can create a longing and passion for a better world.
What are you grieving about?
People were asked to come forward and write in the soil.
James scattered glass beads representing tears onto the soil.
The Kingdom of God is innovation on a cosmic scale. Innovators (prophets, dreamers) join God (or aspire to) by catching his dissatisfaction with the world as is, dreaming of a future and embodying it as 'future present'. Innovation happens when God's future begins to re-form the present. And we get to join in!
Take a '3 questions' postcard and discuss your responses with the people next to you.
Plant seeds in the soil to represent your dreams of a better world.
Take a 'God as a girl' postcard and meditate on the words and image.
Inspired by Viv Albertine - who wrote that, when stuck in life, sometimes she needed to 'say yes to nothing' and step into the 'void' - and always found looking back that it had been the right thing to do.
Each one of us – in bountiful measure.
You long to hold our hand and create with us.
As we pull silver tears, lions, tigers and sparkling narwhals out of deep rich soil.
Help me to see where you've placed me today.
Have you called me to say yes to a scary void? Have you called me to let go of what I cling to most dearly? Help me see that as I let go and tumble into the void, I fall into your open arms.
Have you called me to cry and mourn as an act of creation? To weep with those who weep? And in my tears, to finally see what in the world I was really weeping for. And then to make that thing a reality.
Or have you already set me off on a path of imagining - yours and mine, God? Help me savour the sweetness of sensing I'm in the place I should be. And pepper my horizons with rainbows, to keep me reassured. And keep me travelling.
Help us all keep imagining in the power of your Spirit.
And help us to take our place in your creation story.

Biografia
Simon Mason è nato a Wirral, centro del Merseyside non lontano da Liverpool, da genitori irlandesi.

Militante nel Liverpool St. Helen's, benché inglese optò per rappresentare la Federazione irlandese, per la cui Nazionale esordì nel corso del Cinque Nazioni 1996 contro il  (2 trasformazioni e due piazzati, 10 punti); furono solo 3 gli incontri internazionali per l'Irlanda, tutti nel 1996, con 42 punti (12 piazzati e 3 trasformazioni).

Al Richmond nel 1997 in English Premiership, l'anno seguente si trasferì in Irlanda del Nord, all'Ulster, con cui vinse nel 1998-99 la Heineken Cup, poi spese una stagione a Parigi allo Stade français.

Nel 2001 fu ingaggiato in Italia dal Benetton Treviso: con il club biancoverde vinse due titoli italiani, nel 2003 e nel 2004: in entrambi i tornei fu anche il miglior realizzatore del campionato con, rispettivamente, 323 e 322 punti; con il club trevigiano marcò complessivamente 867 punti.

Tornato in Inghilterra militò, come giocatore-allenatore, nell'Orrell (Wigan) e, nel finale di carriera, nel Caldy (Merseyside), in cui disputò il suo ultimo incontro nell'aprile 2008 a seguito della frattura a una gamba, quando aveva comunque già annunciato il suo ritiro; tornato all'insegnamento a tempo pieno al St Anselm College di Liverpool, è anche direttore sportivo della squadra di rugby dello stesso istituto.

Q: Encapsulation, calculate radius, diameter, area. I have a data structures assignment and I was able to compile my first code but I don't understand how to access the information. Here is the instructions. (sorry they're long)
Create a class named Circle with field names radius, diameter, and area. Include a constructor that sets the radius to 1 and calculates the other two values. Include methods named setRadius() and getRadius(). The setRadius() method not only sets the radius, but calculates the other two values (as you know, the diameter of a circle is twice the radius, the area of a circle is pi multiplied by the square of the radius). Save class as Circle.java.
Create a class named TestCircle whose main method() declares several Circle objects. Using setRadius() method, assign one circle a small radius value (code a user input making use of Scanner of JOptionPane), and assign another a larger radius value (to be an input by a user as well). Do not assign a value to the radius of the third circle; instead retain the value assigned at object construction. Display all the values for three Circle objects. Save the class as TestCircle.java.
And heres my first class
public class Circle {

public int radius = 1;
public double diameter;
public double area;

//Constructor for circle class
public double Circle(int First){
 return radius;
}

//Start set and get for radius
 private double setRadius(int r){
    return radius = 5;
 }

 private double getRadius(){
  return radius;
 }

 //Start set and get for diameter
 public double setDiamter(double d){
    return diameter = 7;
 }
 public double getDiamter(){
  return radius * diameter;
 }

 //Start set and get for diameter
 public double setArea(double a){
    return area;
 }
 public double getArea(){
    return area * Math.PI * 2;
 }
 }

And my test code that should call all the first calculation...I can't get the first calculation to work so i'm asking for some help in how to do this.
 import java.util.Scanner;
 public class TestCircle {

 public static void main(String[] arges) {

 TestCircle C1 = new TestCircle();
  Scanner FirstNum = new Scanner(System.in);
  System.out.print("Enter a number between 1 and 10 to calculate the diamater");
  First = inputDevice.nextInt; //here is where i thought i could call the First method from the other document. but i'm wrong
  }
  }

A: You did not write any method called "First" . You can NOT  call something that is not exist.So firstly;
 1)Write a method called "First "
 2)  First = inputDevice.nextInt;    swap this code with this one  , First = FirstNum.nextInt;  scanner has written wrong .

Dangerous Dogs Update
The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, which came into effect on 13/5/14, has introduced a number of changes to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, by virtue of sections 106 &107.
Section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, "Keeping dogs under proper control", now reads as follows, (changes in italics):-
3. (1) If a dog is dangerously out of control in any place in England or Wales (whether or
not a public place)-
(a) the owner; and
(b) if different, the person for the time being in charge of the dog,
is guilty of an offence, or, if the dog while so out of control injures any person or assistance dog,
an aggravated offence, under this subsection.
(1A) A person ("D") is not guilty of an offence under subsection (1) in a case which is a householder case.
(1B) For the purposes of subsection (1A) "a householder case" is a case where-
(a) the dog is dangerously out of control while in or partly in a building, or part of a building, that is a dwelling or is forces accommodation (or is both), and
(b) at that time-
(i) the person in relation to whom the dog is dangerously out of control ("V") is in, or is entering, the building or part as a trespasser, or
(ii) D (if present at the time) believed V to be in, or entering, the building or part as a trespasser.
Section 76(8B) to (8F) of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 (use of force at place of residence) apply for the purposes of this subsection as they apply for the purposes of subsection (8A) of that section (and for those purposes the reference in section 76(8D) to subsection (8A)(d) is to be read as if it were a reference to paragraph (b)(ii) of this subsection).
(2) In proceedings for an offence under subsection (1) above against a person who is the owner
of a dog but was not at the material time in charge of it, it shall be a defence for the accused to prove that the dog was at the material time in the charge of a person whom he reasonably believed to be a fit and proper person to be in charge of it.
(3) is repealed.
(4) A person guilty of an offence under subsection (1) above other than an aggravated offence is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale or both; and a person guilty of an aggravated offence under that subsection is liable-
(a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both;
(b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding the relevant maximum specified in subsection (4A)
(4A) For the purposes of subsection (4)(b), the relevant maximum is-
(a) 14 years if a person dies as a result of being injured;
(b) 5 years in any other case where a person is injured;
(c) 3 years in any case where an assistance dog is injured (whether or not it dies).
Liability now arises from having a dog dangerously out of control in a private as well as a public place.
But no liability for the dangerously out of control dog where the dog is in, or partly in a dwelling, or part thereof, that confronts a trespasser already in, or entering the dwelling, or part thereof; and/or
no liability where the owner, or person in charge, (if present at the time), of the dangerously out of control dog believes that a trespasser is already in or entering the dwelling, or part thereof; provided that
the degree of force used by the dog in defending the dwelling against the trespasser does not become grossly disproportionate in the circumstances.
Where another part of a building in which D dwells is an internally accessible place of work, that, too, is treated as part of a building that is a dwelling;
as is a vehicle or vessel.
A genuine and sober, (albeit mistaken), belief that a dwelling is under threat from a trespasser justifies the use of a dog, or dogs, to use reasonable force in the defence of that dwelling.
The revised penalty provisions do not apply to offences committed before 13/5/14.
The power of seizure by an enforcement officer, such as a dog warden, is extended to any dog which appears to be dangerously out of control in a private place.
An assistance dog is defined in section 173 of the Equality Act 2010 as a dog trained to provide assistance to a deaf or blind person or certain other specified categories of person with a disability.
In Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority v First-tier Tribunal (SocialEntitlement Chamber) [2014] 158(6) S.J. 37,CA (Civ. Div.), it was said that a dog is "dangerously out of control", re s. 10(3) of the 1991 Act, if there are grounds for reasonable apprehension that it will injure any person; so that if a dog is behaving aggressively towards a person, there will almost always be such grounds.
In R v Robinson-Pierre [2014] 1 Cr.App.R.22, CA, it was stated that whilst section 3(1) of the 1991 Act creats a strict liability offence, the prosecution are nonetheless required to prove that an act or omission of the Defendant, with or without fault, to more than a minimal degree, caused or permitted the dog to be dangerously out of control. Parliament did not intend to render the dog owner, or person in charge, absolutely liable in all circumstances for the dog being dangerously out of control, or to create an offence without regard to the ability of the owner, or someone to whom he had entrusted responsibility, to take and keep control of the animal. There must be some causal connection between having control of the dog and the prohibited state of affairs that has arisen.
So, for instance, where there is evidence of provocation on behalf of the Complainant, the Defendant should be absolved. Likewise, a Complainant's dog clearly instigating aggression towards the Defendant's creates a triable issue.
Destruction and disqualification orders
Section 4(1) has a new subsection (1B) inserted as follows:-
(1B) For the purposes of subsection (1A)(a), when deciding whether a dog would constitute a danger to public safety, the court-
(a) must consider-
(i) the temperament of the dog and its past behaviour, and
(ii) whether the owner of the dog, or person for the time being in charge of it, is a fit and proper person to be in charge of the dog, and
(b) may consider any other relevant circumstances.

Staying Safe From Coronavirus Is a Lot Harder If You Live on the Streets
"Housing is a public health issue."
yupiyan/Getty
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that incidents of the coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, would increase in the United States and would likely disrupt daily lives. To contain the spread, health care experts advise constant hand-washing, avoiding close contact with anyone who is sick, and staying home if you suspect you have symptoms—which include fever and cough.
Of course, for the homeless population, those straightforward guidelines are close to impossible.
"Unfortunately, we know that people living in crowded, unsanitary conditions are at increased risk for a variety of infectious diseases," Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, a public health and medicine professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times. The illness first appeared in China in December. According to the World Health Organization, more than 87,000 people have contracted the disease, and it has killed about 3,000 people worldwide—including six people in Washington state. Officials are urging calm. "While there is some spread in some communities there is no national spread of COVID-19 at this time," Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease, said at a press conference on Saturday. But public health experts are worried about one population that could be especially vulnerable to the disease: people living in encampments or in community shelters.
"Housing is a public health issue," says Dr. Tobie Smith, a public health professor at Georgetown University. The recommendations for staying safe from coronavirus are simple—if you have a stable place to live. For unsheltered people, there's no home for self-quarantine, and they have only unpredictable access to public bathrooms for frequent hand-washing. Many unhoused people are already sick or have compromised immune systems, putting them at higher risk of death. Even for those in shelters, avoiding close contact is virtually impossible, as shelters aren't built with quarantine rooms. For unhoused people, "the actual recommendations are just not feasible," Dr. Smith says.
For unhoused people, "the actual recommendations are just not feasible."
During the 2003 epidemic of SARS, a similar respiratory virus infected more than 8,000 people and killed 774 worldwide, but only eight people contracted the virus in the United States; they all had traveled to a country with infections. In Toronto, Canada, however, where there were 257 cases, there was growing concern that the homeless population was at risk. Advocates for unhoused people were not prepared to handle an outbreak: They could not figure out how to effectively communicate the danger to homeless individuals and families; they lacked supplies for proper disease screening; and they weren't able to quarantine patients living in shelters. No homeless people were reported to have contracted SARS during the outbreak.
What are the options today for minimizing the risk to unhoused people? In Spokane, Washington, city officials are educating shelter workers on strategies for educating those who reside in homeless facilities on how to keep safe. Local nonprofits are training workers on how to spot people who may be infected. They're following recommendations from the local health department, which include giving masks to anyone who may show symptoms, but not as preventative measures. (Coronavirus symptoms are similar to a common cold, so it can be difficult for homeless outreach workers to decide if an individual needs immediate attention.) In California, where there were 35 confirmed cases on Monday, the California Department of Health said it is monitoring the situation but has not yet released any specific plans.
An additional concern among public health officials is that an outbreak among homeless populations could lead to further stigmatization of an often marginalized group. Because homeless people lack access to health care and frequently move around and use public spaces like libraries and mass transit, the fear-mongering in the media has already begun—for example, an op-ed in a Seattle paper called for forcing homeless people into a shelter, lest they use public facilities and spread the illness. "This is not a reason to further marginalize these people," Dr. Smith says, "but it shows how having people in our community who are unhoused is a threat in many ways."

At the July 18 Belmont County Commissioners meeting, the board voted to request the Ohio Department of Transportation survey sections of 16 county roads for possibly reducing the current 55 mph posted limit for safety reasons.
Fifteen of the roads are in the eastern half of the county and one in the west. The local road is CR 128 in Somerset Twp. Commissioners ask that a 2.11-mile section of the highway be surveyed from the intersection of TR-19 (Ed Miller Road), going north through the village of Boston and ending at the intersection of TR-21 (Mason Road).
Belmont Commissioners authorized the purchase of three Ford Explores from Lebanon Ford at the station purchase price of $27,686 each for the use of the Sheriff's Office on July 18. The vehicles will replace older, high mileage vehicles in the department's road patrol fleet.

Feb 14 Predicting the games on deck for women's basketball as tournament approaches
Basketball, Sports
By Christian Heimall, Staff Writer
With just five games left to play in the regular season, the Hofstra Pride women's basketball team has a chance to reach a top four seed and get a crucial first-round bye in the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament down in Harrisonburg, Virginia. That window of opportunity closed a tiny bit over the weekend after Hofstra dropped a 56-52 decision to Northeastern up in Boston. What made that loss sting even more was the upset UNC Wilmington pulled over previously top 25 ranked James Madison.
That loss by the Dukes would have put Hofstra in a three-way tie for fourth place in the CAA along with Delaware and James Madison. With five games to play, the Pride currently sit tied with the Towson Tigers at a record of 7-6, just one game out of the top four. The remaining schedule for Hofstra sets up like this:
George Mason-Feb. 18:
A home matinee contest with the Patriots is the sigh of relief Coach Krista Kilburn-Steveskey and her squad need. While no team should be taken lightly (and none have been this season), Thursday's contest provides the opportunity to give senior center Jess Fuller a lot of rest to get her injured left ankle back to 100 perecent for the home stretch. Hofstra dominated George Mason last time around to the tune of a 72-39 romp. Look for the blue and gold to take out some frustration at home after a tough road loss to Northeastern.
At Drexel-Feb. 21:
This road game could be the real litmus test for the Pride. The Daskalakis Athletic Center is never an easy place to go play (just ask the men's squad), but Hofstra has proven they can compete and win away from the Mack. The Dragons however have one of the best players this conference has seen in Gabriella Marginean. It is obvious that Drexel is a team that never takes a moment off. They trailed by double-digits to the Virginia Commonwealth Rams in the second half and ended up winning by eight. Hofstra had a lead at halftime last time these teams met in Hempstead but ultimately fell by ten. The game against George Mason is even more important for Hofstra with the Dragons looming just on the other side.
At Towson-Feb. 25:
Hofstra was not ready for the Tigers the last time they met and it showed as Towson held a double-digit lead from almost the tip. The Pride was able to make the final margin respectable thanks to junior guard Aamira Terry, but it was the final game in a four-game losing streak. This is another game where Hofstra's "never say die" attitude could help after a previous loss. Towson and Hofstra currently sit tied in the standings and depending on how the previous two games go for the Pride, this game could be a battle for sixth place in the conference.
Northeastern-Feb. 28:
After Sunday's loss you can rest assured that Hofstra highlighted this rematch on the schedule. Not to mention after two challenging, but potentially rewarding road games, the Pride will be most excited to see the friendly confines of the Lion's Den one more time. Guard Sam Brigham and center Jess Fuller, both seniors, will be playing in front of the home crowd one last time and the mentality of Brigham will not allow her home career to end on a sour note. However, Northeastern has a gritty squad with a lot of raw talent and nothing would please them more than sweeping the season series from Hofstra for the second straight year.
At Delaware-March 3:
Wining on the road is difficult. Winning in Newark, DE for Hofstra is close to impossible. Playing in Newark against the top rookie in the conference with a potential for the fourth seed (and last bye) in the CAA, is nerve-racking. Just over a month after freshman guard/forward Elena Delle Donne dropped 35 at the Mack to help the Hens to a 71-65 victory, the Pride go into the Bob Carpenter Center on the final day of the regular season to try and repeat what they did last year, win in Newark.
Last year was the first time Hofstra did that in program history and a majority of that team is still here. Now that they know how to win, it is not inconceivable to believe they could do it again. Kilburn-Steveskey said earlier in the year that she learned her lesson on how to game plan for Delle Donne and a change would be coming. It is always a fun rivalry to watch and this game may determine everything for these team's postseason chances.
Hofstra can, and most likely will, get help from other teams in the conference as they march towards the top four spots.
Towson:
With Hofstra tied with the Tigers right now, finishing one game better than them in the final five games can make the difference between facing a struggling bottom feeder (like Georgia State or George Mason) or a rising team (like Northeastern or William and Mary) in the first round of the tournament. The Tigers schedule is not exactly favorable. Aside from playing Hofstra and UNCW, their other three contests are against top dogs Drexel and Old Dominion (both on the road) and Delaware at home.
James Madison:
Hofstra owns the tie-breaker over the Dukes thanks to a dramatic overtime win on the road, so how JMU finishes the season may be the deciding factor for Hofstra. In the next three games, Kenny Brooks leads his squad into a murder's row of sorts. First they play Delaware at home then they travel for a date with perennial powerhouse Old Dominion. Next, the Dukes come back home to take on a surging VCU team.
Believe the hype, Delle Donne is as good as advertised. However, Coach Tina Martin knows that teams win in the tournament. Delaware takes on James Madison this Thursday in Harrisonburg and that game may be the one that decides fourth and fifth place. After that game with the Dukes, Delaware faces three bottom half teams: William and Mary (4-9), Northeastern (5-8) and Towson (7-6). After that, the Blue Hens host Hofstra on the season's final day and that one could be for all the marbles.
My Final Prediction:
Hofstra has all the tools to make a serious run at the conference title this year. The question is whether or not the team's youthful mistakes will come out, or if the senior leadership and experience will move this team forward. What helps is the schedule of one of the teams in front of them, James Madison. In a best-case scenario for the Pride, they out while Delaware loses all their remaining games and JMU's only win is against the Hen's. That would put Hofstra at 12-6 and in fourth place. All Hofstra needs to do to get the fourth seed, is to finish the regular season two games better than Delaware and one game better than both Towson and JMU.
That is not to say that Hofstra cannot get a first round bye, but it would take a bit of work and help. If the Pride can win at Drexel on Sunday do not be surprised to see them run the table using that momentum. The combination of raw talent, senior leadership and a wise coaching staff can make it happen. Most likely, the Pride finish fifth, tied with the Dukes at 10-8 in conference, but gets the higher seed thanks to the tie-breaker over James Madison and take on George Mason in the first round of tournament.
