Season 4 of Gotham is roughly split into two sections, with the first eleven episodes focused on the villains Professor Pyg and Sofia Falcone (daughter of retired mob boss Carmine Falcone) and the second half bringing back Jerome (the Joker). Along the way, Gotham regulars Penguin, Riddler, Poison Ivy, Selina Kyla, and the Gotham City Sirens of Barbara Kean and Tabitha make regular appearances. Revived by the waters of Slaughter Swamp that was poisoned by the industrial waste of Indian Hill – Butch is now Solomon Grundy. And yes, even R'as al Ghul is back. That sounds like a lot, but this show knows how to give each of their characters time to fully develop their stories.
Professor Pyg is a well-spoken serial killer whom we usually see with a pig's head covering his face. He starts by killing GCPD police officers and covering their faces with a severed pig's head. Detective James Gordon, who is promoted to Captain this season, is on the case with some help from Harvey Bullock. When it turns out all the cops that the Pig kills are dirty, things get intense and confronted with evidence that he was also "on the take" Harvey quits the GCPD and opens a bar. Never fear – he's back by the conclusion of the storyline. But Professor Pyg soon turns his attention on the Narrows – poisoning several of the homeless. He then shows up as a caterer at a fundraiser for an orphanage that Sofia Falcone has recently established. Episode 9, "Let Them Eat Pie" has Professor Pyg first singing, "He (Pyg says, "they") Had It Coming" from Chicago – then Sweeney Todd style serving the guests' meat pies made from the Homeless he killed. Pyg also leaves a clue for James Gordon, a quote from Jonathon Swift's A Modest Proposal. The GCPD arrests Pyg, he escapes, and eventually, James Gordon is forced to kill him when he takes Sofia Falcone "hostage". It looks like Sofia will use this against Jim (as well as their brief partnership to take down Penguin) but she is also murdered an episode or two later.
I didn't like Pyg at all – he's too gross, and his "attack the rich to help the poor" argument might have been more convincing if he hadn't killed six homeless people to accomplish his "goals". Plus Professor Pyg is just not a great Batman villain, and Gotham didn't make him sympathetic as they have other long-term villains. But, all in all, the Professor Pyg storyline is completely wrapped up by episode 10 or 11, and the remainder of the season has a better season-long villain. All the musical and other references in episode 9 were amusing though. (Someone on the show must like Bob Fosse, because not only does Pyg quote Chicago – but Riddler's full suit is straight out of a Fosse musical – stiff bowler hat, gloves, and even Riddler's movement emphasizes controlled snappy lines, as is seen in Cabaret, Chicago, and Pippin.)
The season opens with Penguin having come up with an idea to rule the criminal underground in Gotham: Pax Penguina – he literally licenses crime. Penguin even gets the police to allow this by paying them off. Thus Pyg's initial strikes against "corrupt cops". Riddler's frozen body decorates Penguin's Iceberg Lounge. Jim Gordon, however, thinks the system is ridiculous and sets out to take down Penguin. He even sees Carmine Falcone at his home in Florida (presumably) and makes a bargain with Sofia as the lesser of two evils to take down Penguin. Meanwhile, Lee Thompson has returned to the Narrows – she's operating a free clinic and working at an underground fight club to pay for it. Riddler is released from his icy prison – but not without problems.
Riddler now has two personalities – his "nice guy" personality (Ed Nygma) falls in love with Lee, whom he meets at the fight club, is meeker, but isn't as "smart" – he can no longer create elaborate riddles – he can't even solve simple childhood riddles. The Riddler personality is smart, can do the riddle thing, wears a bottle-green silk suit, bowler hat, and green gloves, and could care less about Lee. The Riddler manipulates Ed to free himself. Ed is also the one who finds Solomon Grundy (formerly Butch Gilzean) shortly after he's resurrected in Slaughter Swamp. Ed takes Butch to the fight club, Butch beats the current champion and becomes the best fighter. Eventually, Ed, Lee, and Butch take over the club – and later, Lee takes over the Narrows. Unfortunately, Lee has a hard time holding on to the narrows and it goes back and forth between her and others throughout the season. But Ed's love for Lee is balanced against her desire to have real power in the Narrows so she can actually do some good. At the same time, Riddler is haunting Ed because he wants to become the dominant personality. Oddly enough, with help from Penguin – he succeeds and Riddler's full personality – cleverness, lack of caring for others, and beautiful bottle-green suit (again, with bowler hat and green leather gloves) is born.
Penguin starts out on top, ruling Gotham's underworld through his Pax Penguina plan, but soon is involved in a war for territory against three groups of, interestingly enough, all women: Sofia Falcone who wants to rule Gotham like her father did; Lee Thompkins who wants to rule the Narrows for altruistic reasons; and the Gotham City Sirens (Barbara Kean, Tabitha Galavan, and briefly Selina Kyle). Between these various groups, the Pyg, and later developments – Penguin slowly loses his position. Penguin also briefly works with Butch and Riddler.
The first episode also has Bruce Wayne, dressed in black, beating up criminals on Gotham city streets. Lucius Fox gives him a bullet-proof flexible suit (a basic Batsuit, minus cowl) but when Bruce is forced to kill R'as al Ghul with a ceremonial knife at his request – Bruce flips out. His reaction to having to kill someone is to become a rebellious teenager – hanging out with the wrong crowd, drinking, chasing girls, and being a spoiled brat. he even gets himself emancipated and fires Alfred. It takes some time for Bruce to stop this behavior, and deal with his issues (the trauma of having to murder R'as), but when he does – he and Alfred are wonderful together. Selina also helps Bruce face his issues and get back to being himself. So he doesn't become the Bat yet.
Barbara Kean tries to pick-up the organized crime that Penguin doesn't control – opening a gun-running and sale organization. She also runs a nightclub where the women don't have to pay for drinks. Tabby supports her in her goals – and they try to recruit Selina. Barbara, it turns out was revived by R'as al Ghul, using "Lazarus water" (presumably because they couldn't do a full Lazarus pit sequence). When R'as dies – Barbara becomes the Demon's Head. It turns out, R'as really should have left an instruction book. At times, Barbara is able to lead the League of Shadows – but at times the League, especially the male members, balk at a female leader. The male League members even bring R'as back, but Barbara and Bruce kill him again. Barbara ends up as the Demon's Head, understanding her powers, including the way to interpret visions of the future, as she leads a new female-only League of Shadows.
Tabby works with Penguin to get Butch "fixed" by Hugo Strange. It surprisingly enough works once they finally manage to get Butch to Strange. However, as Tabitha and Butch declare their love for each other – Penguin fatally shoots Butch (after calling him a friend) because Butch killed his mother. Then he wounds Tabitha – who goes to Barbara for help (we don't see the result).
Both Riddler and Lee are wounded at the very end of the season too (yes, they look like they are dying – we can assume not because: comics).
The main villain of the second part of the season though is Jerome and his twin brother, Jeremiah. Everything else – Penguin, Riddler, the Sirens, Bruce, Alfred, Jim Gordon, and Harvey Bullock is spread through the entire season. Jerome is as nutty as before and he orchestrates a breakout at Arkham when Ed Nygma and Oswald Cobblepot are briefly locked up. Jerome uses a radio signal to get people up on rooftops ready to jump at midnight. But if Jim Gordon tries to stop anyone, including Harvey, they will jump immediately. Jim solves the conundrum by having people save each other. He and Jerome confront each other – and Jerome falls to his death. Jerome's followers stage an attack on GCPD HQ.
But Jerome also threatens his twin brother, Jeremiah. Jeremiah is a brilliant engineer and he develops a self-perpetuating generator (with a little help from Wayne Enterprises). We are given a few hints that Jeremiah isn't normal either – he lives in an underground bunker with only a female secretary / bodyguard for company, in a scene between Jerome and Jeremiah – Jerome accuses Jeremiah of lying about the horrors Jerome did as a kid, which resulted in Jerome being physically abused and ultimately sent away, while Jeremiah was sent to engineering school. Jerome uses his Joker Gas on Jeremiah which turns his face stark white – and releases his inner demons. Jeremiah is much scarier than Jerome because he's so cold and calculating. Jerome wanted chaos. Jeremiah has a plan. With the final two episodes entitled "One Bad Day" and "No Man's Land" long-time fans of the Batman Mythos know what's coming and aren't disappointed. Bruce, Jim, Lucius, and Harvey stop the initial explosions of the generators that Jeremiah has rigged to become bombs. But Jeremiah succeeds in blowing-up the bridges leading into Gotham City – leaving the city isolated.
Even though I didn't like Pyg as a villain, and Jerome is just simple madness and chaos, Jeremiah made for an excellent villain. Adapting the massive "No Man's Land" storyline is hard and Gotham managed to give it a good start (I can't wait to see the follow up). As always, the imagery in this show is so good. This season opens with Bruce, very Batman-like on a rooftop with his cloak flowing behind him and a gargoyle in the background. It ends with Gordon shining a light at the clouds from Gotham City PD with Bruce standing nearby as a beacon of hope. In between the development of the other characters is just so well done. I love Penguin and Riddler so much I almost want to see them succeed – even though they are the villains. And the women this season also came into their own, even if they didn't always meet their goals. I actually, overall, liked Gotham Season 4 very much, and I recommend it. I'm also looking forward to Season 5, which will be the final season.

What tune shall we play in August?
There you go; what do you fancy? As usual, you can vote for more than one!
Something wrong with some of your links Clive !
Oh, you guys. 9-9-9-9! Let's open the poll for a bit longer :-) I'll close the poll a bit later on tonight. Remember that you can change your vote - just remove it, then redo it.


Tiba here to tell you about my favorite new show, the Cheetah Cub Cam at the National Zoo website. One of the best times to watch is about 7:00 to 8:00 am (Eastern Time - USA), although sometimes in the afternoon is good too. But hey, if the Cheetahs are asleep, or not in the video room there is always the Naked Mole Rat Cam. Vicki says there are lots of other ones I should see sometime, but so far these are my favorites.
I spent about half an hour Friday afternoon watching the Cheetah cubs race around like kittens. Tashi says they are kittens, but how can they be? They're bigger than me?!
Hello, Socks here. The Ashton Cats got together and celebrated the first birthday of their good friends across the sea. Vicki opened a special can of cat food in their honor and we even had a candle! Vicki didn't light it. Tiba was rather sad about that, but we all tried to explain to her that since Bob and Lizzy weren't here to blow it out, it didn't make sense to light it. (Not to mention six cats, canned cat food, and a lit candle does kinda sound like a recipe for disaster).
My daughter Riker was, of course, very happy to eat her share.
Hi, Tashi here again, with happy news about cheetahs. The National Zoo's Cheetahs had kittens several weeks ago, and they are out and about now. Here are a couple pictures, but if you want to read about it, or see more pictures scritch here.


This same logical reasoning gives us today's mislabeled scientific "facts" from the Theoretical Sciences, as they ignore the belief one must have in the guessing needed to produce scientific "theory" and instead promote it as "already proven" with fancy double-switch wording. Ex. Articles on Cosmos, time, space, thought, etc.
Thanks for printing this so I could have the time to "think".

Victor Ayala's name has become synonymous with hardscape and landscape, and virtually any other kind of outdoor project. He formed his company—My New Project—a little over a year ago, but by then he had had many years of experience.
A couple years later, Victor began learning the basics of hardscaping. He landed a job at the international airport in his hometown where they were doing extensive expansion and renovation, and through it all Victor learned how to work concrete.
At age fifteen, on his own, Victor crossed the Rio Bravo for a new life in America. He made his way to Richmond and found full-time work in construction. To supplement his income, he worked part-time in restaurants.
"There was plenty of work," Victor says. "And if you wanted to learn something new that was the place." Not long after that, he moved back into hardscape, working for a pool contractor. He learned how to do the brick coping on the perimeter of pools, and fine-tuned his understanding of other kinds of masonry that employed native stone and precast pavers.
Victor can do any kind of landscaping, or hardscaping from patios and outdoor kitchens, to fire pits, walkways, retaining walls and raised beds. And he will use any suitable building material from brick to bluestone, from precast pavers to poured cement walks.
Victor is happily married to a woman named Jasimine, his soul mate, and they have a lovely eight-year old daughter named Diana. His wife has always helped him with the business. "We share everything," says Victor.
Last summer, Victor took his daughter to the city of his birth and showed her where he had attended elementary school. Young Diana got a chance to know the rest of the family.
Through the years, when business was hard and when the ends didn't quite meet, Victor would call his father, who is also an entrepreneur. "And my dad would say, 'That's business, you take the good and you take the bad. So, don't be sad, don't be mad. Don't get disappointed. It's going to get better. Just be there for someone to call you for a job, and pray to God.'" Victor took his father's advice and it has served him well.
A couple weeks before Easter, Victor travelled down to Puerto Rico to help those who lost everything in the wake of Hurricane Maria. The country, a U.S. territory, is still far from full recovery. In some areas potable water is scarce, and there is still no electricity in other regions.
Victor and fellow congregants from El Camino Baptist made their way to the town of Utuado, twenty miles outside of Arecibo, home of world's largest single-unit radio telescope, an observatory that can see some of the most distant galaxies in the universe, can train its eye on the furthest reaches of creation.
For seven days, Victor and his friends toiled under the Caribbean sun, doing whatever work needed be done, while restoring hope to people who felt both frustrated and deserted.

9 Essential Horrorcore Hip Hop Albums
[Horrorcore is a subgenre of Hip Hop music based on horror-themed and often darkly transgressive lyrical content and imagery. Its origins derived from certain hardcore Hip Hop and gangsta rap artists, such as the Geto Boys, which began to incorporate supernatural, occult, or psychological horror themes into their lyrics and, unlike most gangsta-rap artists, pushed the violent content and imagery in its lyrics beyond the realm of realistic urban violence to the point where the violent lyrics became gruesome, ghoulish, unsettling, or slasher film- or splatter film-esque. While exaggerated violence and the supernatural are common in horrorcore, the genre also frequently presents more realistic yet still disturbing portrayals of mental illness and drug abuse.]
Listed here you will find 9 essential albums in the horrorcore subgenre. Do you feel albums were omitted that you feel should be listed here as well? Share your thoughts in the comments!
Brotha Lynch Hung - Season Of Da Siccness (1995)
Sacramento's Brotha Lynch Hung is an incredibly underrated emcee, who deserves props as one of the pioneers of the horrorcore subgenre.
Season Of Da Siccness is his (full-length) debut album, and like all albums on this list definitely not for the faint of heart. "Locc To Da Brain,", "Siccmade", "Rest In Piss", "Welcome 2 Your Own Death" are just a few of the standout tracks on this album. Lynch's great flow goes together perfectly with the dark and sinister beats, entirely produced by Lynch himself.
The album is filled with shockingly graphic violent stories and images, but it is intelligent and even sometimes emotional at the same time. Season Of Da Siccness may be hard to digest, but ultimately it has to be considered an all-around classic.
Season Of Da Siccness arguably is Brotha Lynch Hung's best and definitely his most essential album – but most of the rest of his catalogue is dope as hell (pun intended) as well, especially his concept album trilogy (Dinner and a Movie (2010), Coathanga Strangla (2011) and Mannibalector (2013)) is more than worth checking out.
Tech N9ne's - Anghellic (2001)
Anghellic is the third studio album by Kansas City rapper Tech N9ne, a standout in what is an extensive and overall excellent catalog.
"Breathe", "Tormented", "This Ring" are the tracks to check out, but the whole album is filled with sick beats, sick flows, and sick lyrics.
Not run-of-the-mill and not for everybody, this album nevertheless signifies a milestone for the horrorcore subgenre and it establishes Tech N9ne as one of the most typical and intriguing rappers in the game.
Esham - Closed Casket (1994)
Esham is a Detroit underground legend who has dropped a lot of albums since he was just a kid, as a solo artist and as a member of Natas. His trademark has always been totally over the top psychopathic lyrics, some that make the Geto Boys look like boy scouts.
Closed Casket is his fourth album (he debuted in 1989 with Boomin' Words from Hell) and arguably his best. Sonically it's great and Esham is a skilled emcee, whose flow and delivery are tight. Unapologetically sordid, Esham's at times depraved subject matter obviously isn't for everyone, but if you take it the way you would take in a horror movie (it's just fantasy folks), listening to this album can be enjoyable ride nevertheless.
Insane Poetry - Blacc Plague (1996)
Blacc Plague is the second studio album by Insane Poetry, after their debut album Grim Reality, which was released in 1992. Formed in 1988 in Los Angeles, Insane Poetry has to be considered one of the first horrorcore groups.
Like their equally excellent debut, Blacc Plague gives us more of the morbid and macabre Insane Poetry was known for, albeit in relative obscurity.
Flatlinerz - U.S.A. (1994)
U.S.A. (Under Satan's Authority) is the first and only studio album by NYC crew Flatlinerz. Sometimes criticised for copying Natas' (Detroit legend Esham's crew) style, with U.S.A. Flatlinerz nevertheless dropped a tight album which has become a staple of the horrorcore subgenre.
Ganksta NIP - The South Park Psycho (1992)
Rap-A-Lot is a label that has never been afraid of releasing controversial albums. This album released on the legendary Houston label contains even more psychotic, deranged and outrageous subject matter than anything labelmates Geto Boys have ever thought up on their darkest days.
Deep bass and lyrics that are like screenplays for horror movies, this is another early horrorcore classic. Dissociate, take what you hear with a grain of salt and enjoy the craziness of the south park psycho.
Guest artists on The South Park Psycho include future routine collaborators, Dope-E, K-Rino, and Seagram. Willie D and Scarface of the Geto Boys appear on the track "Actions Speak Louder Than Words".
Even though Ganksta NIP would go on and release a lot more insanity on wax in a career still going strong, his debut The South Park Psycho will forever be his most notable effort.
Necro - I Need Drugs (2000)
What can be said about Necro? The underrated Brooklyn rapper/producer and younger brother of Ill Bill has dropped some seriously deranged stuff in his career. Referring to his work as "death rap" to describe his particular brand of ultraviolent Hip Hop, his music combines death metal influences with explicit raps about violence, death, the occult, drugs, and sex.
Necro's debut album I Need Drugs sets the tone for a career full of controversy. Not just horrorcore, his lyrics on this album combine violence, sex, humor and all-around craziness – subject matter that nicely goes with his self-produced rough, unpolished beats.
I Need Drugs may not even be Necro's best work, but it is an underground classic nonetheless.
Three 6 Mafia – Mystic Stylez (1995)
Legendary Memphis crew Three 6 Mafia dropped an interesting album with their debut Mystic Stylez. Filled with dark and violent graphic imagery over menacing beats laid down by DJ Paul & Juicy J, this is an early Deep South classic. Three 6 Mafia would go on to drop more dope albums in different line-ups – depending on where your preferences lie this unpolished debut just may be your favorite out of their entire catalog.
Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep (1994)
Gravediggaz was a supergroup consisting of Prince Paul (The Undertaker), Frukwan (The Gatekeeper), Poetic (The Grym Reaper) and RZA (The RZArector). Two superproducers working together, that has to result in something special, right?
Taken as the fantasy it is, it is a fun album with a wonderfully dark sense of humor. Excellent production and top notch emceeing – this is a classic, strangely enough with underground as well as mainstream appeal. 6Feet Deep arguably is the best and best-known album of the horrorcore sub-genre and a classic in every sense of the word.

Two doctors, two licensed physical therapists, a pharmacist, and four pharmacy owners and operators among those charged in Brooklyn as part of national health care fraud takedown
Fifteen individuals, including two doctors, two licensed physical therapists, a licensed clinical social worker, a pharmacist and four pharmacy owners and operators, have been charged for their participation in schemes that fraudulently billed the Medicare and Medicaid programs for more than $15 million. The charges filed in federal court in Brooklyn, New York are part of a nationwide health care fraud takedown led by the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, which resulted in criminal charges against more than 300 individuals for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $6 billion in fraudulent claims.
The charges were announced Jonathan D. Larsen, Special Agent-in-Charge, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation, New York (IRS-CI).
"IRS-CI is proud to lend our financial expertise in this effort to uncover a wide web of criminal behavior that impacts our financial system and public trust," stated IRS-CI Special Agent-in-Charge Larsen. "Both Diler and Hussnain are guilty of conspiring to participate in this broad scheme to steal from the United States taxpayers through both Medicare and Tax Fraud."
"The defendants, many of them healthcare professionals, abused their positions by engaging in fraud in order to steal precious benefit funds that were meant to help the most vulnerable among us," stated Acting United States Attorney DuCharme. "The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York is working arm-in-arm with our federal and local law enforcement partners to protect our community and our taxpayer-funded programs from the potential harm posed by corrupt healthcare professionals and those who aid them."
"This nationwide enforcement operation is historic in both its size and scope, alleging billions of dollars in healthcare fraud across the country," stated Acting Assistant Attorney General Rabbitt. "These cases hold accountable those medical professionals and others who have exploited health care benefit programs and patients for personal gain. The cooperative law enforcement actions announced today send a clear deterrent message and should leave no doubt about the department's ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety of patients and the integrity of health care benefit programs, even amid a national health emergency."
Schemes charged in the Eastern District of New York, detailed in three indictments, five complaints and three criminal information, include the following:
United States v. Dalmacio Francisco and Michael Othman
The complaint charges Dr. Delmacio Francisco and Michael Othman with oxycodone distribution. The complaint alleges that Dr. Francisco, who operated two medical offices in Queens, provided large-quantity oxycodone scripts to "patients" – individuals he never actually evaluated – who were recruited by Othman in exchange for cash. Dr. Francisco also prescribed oxycodone in the names of two individuals who were incarcerated when the prescriptions were issued. During a search of Francisco's home, DEA agents found $150,000 in bundled cash in a hidden lock box. Both defendants made their initial appearance by video before United States Magistrate Judge Steven M. Gold on May 20, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys James McDonald and Elizabeth Macchiaverna of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York.
United States v. Anand Kalepu
The information charges Anand Kalepu, a medical doctor, with conspiracy to commit health care fraud. The charges stem from Dr. Kalepu's work with a telemedicine company through which he allegedly caused the submission of false and fraudulent claims for durable medical equipment ("DME") to Medicare. Between 2018 and 2019 the amount billed to Medicare for Dr. Kalepu's DME prescriptions was in excess of $1.3 million. Dr. Kalepu pleaded guilty to the information before United States District Judge Ann M. Donnelly at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, and the guilty plea was unsealed on September 30, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Miriam Glaser Dauermann of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
United States v. Mahmoud Elsanaa and Olga Popovych
The indictment charges Mahmoud Elsanaa, a licensed physical therapist and clinic owner, and Olga Popovych, the office manager of several physical therapy clinics controlled by Elsanaa, with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud (Elsanaa only) and one count of conspiracy to falsify medical records (Elsanaa and Popovych). The charges stem from the defendants' alleged role in the operation of physical therapy clinics that billed Medicare and Medicaid for services that were unnecessary, procured by kickbacks, provided by unlicensed practitioners, or otherwise not provided as billed. Elsanaa and Popovych were arrested and arraigned before United States Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom on September 17, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Miriam Glaser Dauermann of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
United States v. Mazen Abdel Magid
The complaint charges Mazen Abdel Magid, a licensed physical therapist and clinic owner and a business partner of Mahmoud Elsanaa, with one count of submitting false claims to Medicare. The charges stem from Abdel Magid's alleged submission of claims to Medicare for physical therapy services purportedly provided at his physical therapy clinic when, in fact, he was overseas and could not have provided the services. Abdel Magid was arrested and made an initial appearance before United States Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom on September 17, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Miriam Glaser Dauermann of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
United States v. Vladimir Geykhman
The indictment charges Vladimir Geykhman with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. The charges stem from the defendant's alleged role in falsifying physical evaluation records in support of claims submitted through no-fault automobile insurance policies and laundering the proceeds therefrom. Between March 2019 and August 2019, Geykhman was paid by New York State automobile insurance providers a total of approximately $1 million for claims that were based upon falsified patient records. Geykhman was arrested and arraigned before United States Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom on September 17, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Miriam Glaser Dauermann of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
United States v. Xuan Di Huang
The complaint charges Xuan Di Huang, also known as "Wendy Huang," an owner and operator of Zhiqing Social Adult Day Care in Flushing, Queens, with aiding and abetting and a substantive violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute. The charges stem from a scheme in which Huang allegedly paid and offered to pay kickbacks to Medicaid beneficiaries for their attendance at Zhiqing Social Adult Day Care. Between August 2019 and March 2020, Huang, through Zhiqing Social Adult Day Care, billed approximately $3.2 million dollars to long term managed care plans for Medicaid beneficiaries. Huang was arrested and arraigned on August 27, 2020 before United States Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Elizabeth Macchiaverna of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York.
United States v. Nisha Diler
The information charges Nisha Diler, a licensed pharmacist, with conspiracy to commit health care fraud and subscribing a false tax return. The charges stem from Diler's role in a scheme to hold herself out as the supervising pharmacist at New Moon Pharmacy, when in fact she did not work at the pharmacy. Diler was paid kickbacks by Hussnain for her role in the scheme, which she then under-reported on her taxes. Between 2016 and 2019, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursed the pharmacy approximately $3 million for pharmaceutical claims submitted through New Moon Pharmacy. Diler pleaded guilty to the information before United States District Judge Rachel Kovner at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn on September 16, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Miriam Glaser Dauermann of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
United States v. Harris Hussnain
The information charges Harris Hussnain with conspiracy to commit health care fraud, narcotics distribution and unlawful financial transactions. The charges stem from Hussnain's ownership of a Queens pharmacy, New Moon Pharmacy, and dispensing of prescription medications, including large amounts of Oxycodone, when the pharmacy did not employ a full-time licensed pharmacist. Instead, Hussnain paid a co-conspirator, Nisha Diler, a licensed pharmacist, to hold herself out as the full-time pharmacist despite the fact that she visited the pharmacy only sporadically. Between 2016 and 2019 Medicare and Medicaid reimbursed New Moon Pharmacy approximately $3 million for pharmaceutical claims. Hussnain pleaded guilty to the information before United States District Judge Rachel Kovner at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn on September 29, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Miriam Glaser Dauermann of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
United States v. Aleah Mohammed, Aripha Mohammed and Shejer El Maliki
A criminal complaint charges Aleah Mohammed, Aripha Mohammed and Shejer El Maliki, the owners and operators of the pharmacy Village Stardrugs Inc. in Queens, New York, with conspiracy to commit health care fraud. Additionally, Aleah Mohammed was charged with health care fraud and aggravated identity theft, and Aripha Mohammed and Shejer El Maliki were each charged with money laundering. The charges stem from their alleged roles in a scheme to submit claims through the pharmacy for medications that were not in fact prescribed as claimed, including claims for purportedly dispensing medications when the pharmacy was no longer licensed by the State of New York. From March 2019 to March 2020, Medicare Part D plans reimbursed the pharmacy approximately $1.5 million for pharmaceutical claims, $1.4 million of which was reimbursed when the pharmacy was no longer licensed. Aleah Mohammed, Aripha Mohammed and Shejer El Maliki were arrested and arraigned before United States Magistrate Judge Roanne L. Mann on September 23, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Andrew Estes of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
United States v. Gorgi Naumovski
The indictment charges Naumovski, the owner and operator of a durable medical equipment company Life Source Medical, Inc., in Greensboro, North Carolina, with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud. The charge stems from Naumovski's alleged role in a scheme in which claims were submitted to Medicare for durable medical equipment, including orthotic braces, where the defendant and his co-conspirators paid bribes and kickbacks by purchasing doctors' orders for the equipment, including equipment that was not medically necessary. Between April 2016 and December 2018, Life Source Medical billed Medicare approximately $4.1 million for claims for orthotics-related equipment and was paid approximately $1.8 million on those claims. Naumovski was arrested and arraigned before United States Magistrate Judge Reona J. Daly by video in Benton, Illinois on September 29, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Andrew Estes of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
The charges are allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Are you actually really keen to take the skipper's position on your charter cruise? After all, it can feel like just that bit too much of responsibility in your holidays, especially if you are not a regular at steering a yacht. Still, if you are not keen on it, you do not have to do without a charter holiday - there are numerous different ways to charter a yacht. Here's a quick guide to differnt types of yacht charter!
Bareboating means to rent a sailing yacht unaccompanied, without skipper or crew. Just the bare boat. As skipper you are responsible for the ship and the crew. With bareboating you have the individual freedom to explore your destination at your own pace. For bareboat charter it is vital that you have sufficient experience in sailing and manoeuvring yachts comparable to the yacht you have chartered. Sometimes there is an option that an experienced skipper of the charter company will accompany you for a day and give instructions about the local area and boat handling.
As a designated skipper, be your own greatest critic. Do you want this position anyway? Are you ready to be the person responsible for everything on board, from navigation, provisioning, operation of the on-board toilet, all manoeuvre instructions even to the choice of restaurant for the evening meal? If you have legitimate concerns, consider participating in a charter flotilla! The entire ship management is still in your hands, but cruise planning, navigation, safe anchorage and also the evening "calendar of events" are usually taken over by the flotilla captain.
A flotilla consists of a group of yachts (usually five to a maximum of ten), all on the same route. During the day you sail independently, but you can always get help from the "mothership" if required. So the boats in a flotilla have the same port (or bay!) of departure and arrival and meet again in the evenings after a great day sailing. Flotilla sailing could also be seen as a kind of "sailing-apart-together". Although joining in with common activities is not obligatory, the crews of the different yachts often get together in the evening. While eating and drinking together, the experiences give a lot to talk about ("have you seen so many dolphins?.....).
To participate in a charter flotilla, at least one person on board must have sufficient sailing experience, ideally with a cabin yacht. Flotilla sailing combines the safety of a group with the freedom of your own yacht. In short, it is a popular and stress-free way to explore foreign waters. The flotilla leader is your nautical companion and contact person.
You do not have an appropriate boating licence or do not yet feel up to taking sole responsibility for the big trip? That does not at all mean that you have to do without the boating holidays of your dreams. Just take a professional skipper on board! You will sail under the guidance of an expert and learn a lot on the way. Under the guidance of an expert, you can travel to the most diverse destinations and discover the most beautiful places. The "hired" skipper takes responsibility for all difficulties with the ship, navigation and authorities. Some high-quality and larger yachts are, in fact, offered only with skipper by the charter companies. Crewed yacht charter is probably the most exclusive type of charter. The typical risks of a charter ship are largely eliminated here, as the yachts are usually managed by a professional captain and crew.
With cabin charter for individual bookers you take part in an organized charter cruise and only charter a cabin or a berth on board the charter yacht. Usually you will not know the other crew of the cruise in advance. Thus, this way of chartering will bring together different people, often with little or no boating experience of their own, on the small space of a yacht. The typical cabin charter guest is usually a beginner in boating who would like to gain experience in a group of like-minded people under the management of an experienced skipper. Other collect mileage on such cruises required for boating licences in order to be able to charter on their own later on. Cabin charter providers can be large charter companies that use their free yacht resources with professional skippers and individual bookers. However, private owners of larger sailing yachts sometimes also offer cabin charter, mostly to finance the costs of their own voyage by charter guests.
So-called fun regattas are enjoying increasing popularity. The mix of charter holidays and defused regatta sailing continues to grow, in Germany charter trips are now offered to more than 30 Fun Cups all over the world. The offers range from short regatta trainings on the first day of the charter trip to long distance races over thousands of miles. Mostly organized by individual charter bases, a fleet of ships sails several day trips under competition-like conditions but there is also the classic racing on triangular Olympic courses.

Building the Future of Health is a large international conference that will take place in June 2016 in Groningen, the Netherlands. It marks a fundamental change in how we think about our built environment, public health and our healthcare system.
Can the built environment help us stay healthy for longer? Can it inspire us to exercise more? How can we provide for clean water and air? What will our future hospitals look like? Does linking healthy lifestyle and good nutrition to well-designed cities offer a possible cure for Western diseases like obesity and diabetes? And moreover: how can architects and urban planners play a vital role in solving these issues? These questions – and many more – will take centre stage at the international conference Building the Future of Health.
Building the Future of Health revitalizes the once fertile coalition between urban planning, architecture and public health. In doing so, it underlines the great importance of healthy, well-designed cities in an ageing world. The conference distinguishes three tracks in which various relevant aspects are up for discussion: Healthy Cities and the Built Environment, Ageing in Place and The Architecture of Hospitals. In addition, a fourth track is presented in which the wider context of Healthy Ageing is explored.
Due to the conviction that the best solutions come about by exchanging knowledge and skills, the conference is of a highly interdisciplinary nature. For four days, it offers an inspiring environment in which architects, urban planners, landscape architects, medical researchers, environmental planners, policymakers, administrators, doctors, sociologists, (local) politicians and authorities, demographers and representatives from various other disciplines in the field of public health can meet.
The initiative for this conference was taken by the Healthy Ageing Network Northern Netherlands (HANNN), the Thomassen à Thuessink Foundation | UMCG, TNO and the Thomassen à Theussink chair of Architecture, Urbanism and Health at the University of Groningen.
Building the Future of Health is divided into four parallel tracks that represent the various themes and levels up for discussion.
1: Healthy Cities and the Built Environment focuses on the everyday living and working conditions of our cities, neighbourhoods, villages and our landscape. It considers the way in which (the quality and design of) our surroundings can contribute to our health. How do we make our cities and villages healthy? And what role do nature and landscape play? In Track 1, various sub-themes come up for discussion, including air quality and urban climate, the way in which urban architectural design can promote (or obstruct) healthy lifestyles, the (industrial) production of food, the development of monocultures, the consequences of using fossil fuels, etc. In addition, Track 1 considers historic and current examples of Healthy Cities, sheds light on the medical roots of urban development and shows spatial experiments and design studies for cities, neighbourhoods, villages and countryside as they are conceived of in the EU, for instance.
2: Ageing in Place redefines the relationship between housing and healthcare. This has partially been prompted by social developments where a new generation of older people is no longer interested in traditional housing for the elderly. They prefer to put off ageing for as long as possible, and when healthcare does become necessary, they wish to seek this – if not by taking care of it themselves – in a different way. On the other hand, a change in outlook has taken place. Those in need of care – young and old – living in an institution are now seen as full members of society. Does the new relationship between housing and healthcare create new design concepts: from multi-generational homes to so-called 'lifeproof' housing? And how do we deal with all that outdated healthcare real estate in the meantime: nursing homes, (old) institutions for mental healthcare and former locations for specialized care? What role do public housing associations and private investors play?
3: The Architecture of Hospitals presents the latest developments in various hospital departments (operating room, radiology), the development of new specialized typologies and the possibilities offered by the digitalization of healthcare for the creation of the network hospital. In addition it considers themes such as decentralization and flexibility. What about the integration of hospitals with the surrounding (urban) landscape? What do hospitals look like that operate much more from a patient's perspective, and where prevention is starting to play a more and more important role? And can the hospital itself become more healthy, and challenge patients to engage in healthy behaviour through clever interior design and a different organization of healthcare?
4: Healthy Ageing: A Users Guide proves that Healthy Ageing amounts to much more than a simple equation of spatial themes. In Track 4, we consider all those other essential aspects of a healthy life and of growing older healthily. This means attention for the wider perspective and related developments and fields of study: from ageing populations/demography, socio-economic aspects and the perception of health, to good nutrition and exercise. In addition, Track 4 considers technological developments: from health apps to digital personal trainers. Further, we take a good look at the diseases and conditions threatening us today. Who is affected? What are the risks involved? And what role does the environment play? This creates an extensive picture of Healthy Ageing: a list of ingredients that does not claim to be comprehensive, but is inspiring and stimulating and challenges congress guests to look (far) beyond their own disciplines.

Q: Calling overloading template function by func(1) and func(1) leads to difference result I have two template functions:
template <typename T>
void func(T a)
{ std::cout << "func(T a)" << std::endl; }

template <typename T>
void func(int a)
{ std::cout << "func(int a)" << std::endl; }

And calling func which different method will lead to different result:
func(1);       // call func(T a)
func<int>(1);  // call func(int a)

Here is the demo. I originally thought that func(1) and func<int>(1) are identical, but it seems that I was wrong. Does compiler treat func(1) and func<int>(1) differently? Thanks for any help!

A: The call func<int>(1); chooses the second overload because it is more specialized.
The call func(1); can't choose the second overload, because the second overload has a template parameter T which is neither given a template argument explicitly (as in func<int>(1);), nor can be deduced from the function parameter/argument pair (as T in the first overload can from the argument 1 to the T a parameter). If a template argument can't be deduced and isn't explicitly given, then the overload is non-viable in overload resolution. The only remaining overload is the first one, which is then chosen.

Устнено-заднонебните съгласни (или лабиовеларни) представляват двойно учленени съгласни звукове на речта, чието място на създаване е едновременно при устните и задното меко небце (например ).

Същински двойно учленени устнено-заднонебни
Съгласните, плод на истинско двойно учленение (а не на допълнително съучленение), налични в много от езиците на Западна и Централна Африка, са в изобилие. Такъв пример е името на бившия президент на Брега на слоновата кост (Кот д'Ивоар), Лоран Гбагбо. Езиците на Централен Судан, поречията на Нигер и Конго, както и в източните части на Нова Гвинея, изобилстват от подобни двойно учленени звукове като . За тяхното учленение (артикулация), трябва да се произнесе заднонебната съгласна, като след това устните бъдат затворени, за да се учлени и двубърнената такава. Въпреки че огромна част от оклузията се припокрива, озвучаването на заднонебната половина се получава малко преди тази на двубърнената.

Езикът йели дние (Папуа Нова Гвинея) притежава както устнено-заднонебни, така и устнено-задвенечни съгласни.

Двойно учленени устнено-заднонебни съгласни с приблизително озвучение и/или съучленение
Някои езици, особено в Папуа Нова Гвинея и Вануату, съчетават устнено-заднонебните съгласни с лабиализация (устено-заднонебен приблизителен начин на учленение): , . Мъртвият език волоу е притежавал предпоставено-назализирана устнено-заднонебна преградна съгласна с приблизително озвучение (лабиализация)

Други случаи
Устнено-заднонебните преградни съгласни могат да се проявят и като изтласкващи  или имплозивни . Флойд (1981 г.) отбелязва наличието и на беззвучна имплозивна съгласна  в езика игбо. Вероятно съществуват и устнено-заднонебни приблизителни съгласни в езици като японския.

In many ways, Resurrection is the mirror universe story that Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has been trying to tell for the better part of three seasons.
It is the most obvious of parallel universes, the classic variant on the "there but for the grace of God…" story that science-fiction tackles so effectively. After all, both Mirror, Mirror and Crossover were episodes that used the mirror universe to posit alternate versions of the Federation and the Occupation. It makes sense that the next logical extension of this Star Trek high concept would be an episode focusing on alternate versions of specific characters. How different would a person be, if they were to be transposed to an entirely different context?
Deep Space Nine tried to touch on this with Through the Looking Glass and Shattered Mirror, two mirror universe episodes that centred around the character of mirror!Jennifer Sisko. Through the Looking Glass allowed Benjamin Sisko to come face-to-face with his long-dead wife, while Shattered Mirror allowed Jake Sisko to spend some time with his deceased mother. Unfortunately, neither episode really lived up to that potential, hampered by weak performances from Felecia Bell and by the distraction of high camp.
Resurrection is very much the third attempt that this very basic story, and suffers a little bit from that sense of fatigue. However, the execution is substantially better this time around. While Philip Anglim is hardly the franchise's strongest guest performer, he is a better actor than Bell. More than that, keeping the action anchored on the "real" Deep Space Nine stops the story from veering into high camp. It might be damning with faint praise, but Resurrection is probably Deep Space Nine's second best mirror universe episode.
The List taps into a lot of contemporary anxieties.
As with Chris Carter's last stand-alone script for The X-Files, there is something very timely about The List. The late second season medical conspiracy thriller F. Emasculata had aired at a point where national anxieties about Ebola and other killer diseases were at a high, with the high-profile release of Outbreak and the publication of Crisis in the Hot Zone. One of Carter's strengths as a producer and a writer was his ability to take the national pulse, and to make The X-Files reflect whatever made nineties America uncomfortable.
There's a moment about a third of the way through Skyfall that manages to perfectly encapsulate its opinion of the iconic British spy at the heart of the film. Casually dismissing the villain's lofty accomplishments, Bond mutters, "Everybody needs a hobby." The villain takes the jab quite well. "Oh. What's yours?" Bond retorts, "Resurrection." Released to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the film franchise, Skyfall is a veritable ode to Bond's endurance – in both a literal and metaphorical sense. After all, not many fifty year olds look as stylish as this.
Sam Mendes, and his talented cast and crew, have managed to get Bond the perfect birthday present.

Q: C# Boolean outside method won't read I have a question, which might be very nooby, but I have been stuck on it for the last 3 days. I have a method called ApplyRules, which is used very frequently so I can't define a bool inside of it, but when I try to define it outside of the method, it doesn't read it. Here is my code:
public bool solvedp1 = false;

    public static void ApplyRules()
    {

        if (Level.Rooms[0, 0].GetItem("Red Gem") != null
            & Level.Rooms[1, 0].GetItem("Blue Gem") != null
            & solvedp1 == false)
        {
            Console.Clear();
            Console.WriteLine("You put the gem in its correct place. As soon as the gem is in position, you feel a shiver and a warm feeling enters your toes and passes through your whole body. The strange feeling in the room is gone. You hear a lock unlocking and a door shrieking as it opens..");
            Console.WriteLine("Press enter to continue");
            Console.ReadKey();
            solvedp1 = true;
        }

A: The method is static, while the boolean is instance-based. Make either the boolean static or the method non-static (probably change the boolean).
Because static methods can't access instance-based variables, your method cannot technically "see" the boolean because the boolean is associated with instances of your class rather than your class as a whole. If the class is, say, PuzzleSolver, there is a solvedp1 boolean for each and every PuzzleSolver instance. If there is only 1 PuzzleSolver, ever, then you should make the solvedp1 a static boolean (technically, this makes your class a Singleton, which may be 'bad' for the long run, but this seems like a program for learning purposes rather than a long-term project).

A: Try this:
//Make this static so it is accessible to your ApplyRules() method.
public static bool solvedp1 = false;

public static void ApplyRules()
{
    if (Level.Rooms[0, 0].GetItem("Red Gem") != null
        & Level.Rooms[1, 0].GetItem("Blue Gem") != null
        & solvedp1 == false)
    {
        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine("You put the gem in its correct place. As soon as the gem is in position, you feel a shiver and a warm feeling enters your toes and passes through your whole body. The strange feeling in the room is gone. You hear a lock unlocking and a door shrieking as it opens..");
        Console.WriteLine("Press enter to continue");
        Console.ReadKey();
        solvedp1 = true;
    }
}

A: Your variable is an instance variable - i.e. each instance of your class will have a separate variable.
Your method is a static method - it's not associated with any particular instance, so there's no variable available.
It's not clear why you think you can't declare a variable in a method just because it's "used very frequently" though. You should decide what kind of variable makes sense, and act accordingly:

*

*A local variable is appropriate when the natural lifetime of the variable is the lifetime of the method, i.e. when the method has completed, the variable is irrelevant. It doesn't need to persist between method calls etc.

*An instance variable is appropriate when it's part of the natural state of your class - e.g. a person's address might be a natural instance variable for a Person class.

*A static variable is appropriate when it's associated with the type itself rather than any particular instance of the type. Static variables (other than constants) should very often be avoided, on the grounds that it's sort of "global" state which is hard to reason about - it makes testing hard too.

A: Static methods cannot access instance variables. However, the opposite is true, instance methods can access static variables.
You can see it as: instance variables are only created when you explicitly declare in instance of that class, but, static variables are created when you reference it for the first time.

A: Add the static keyword to the boolean.

Stars to go with Khudobin in goal for Game 5
The Dallas Stars are starting Anton Khudobin in goal for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night, as they face elimination against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Khudobin has played in 23 games for the Stars this postseason. That includes their Game 4 loss on Friday night, 5-4 in overtime to the Lightning, in which Khudobin faced 35 shots.
Dallas coach Rick Bowness had kept his goaltending plans for Game 5 under wraps, leading to speculation that the Stars might not start Khudobin in back-to-back games. But regular-season starter Ben Bishop remains "unfit to play" according to the coach.
The last time Bishop appeared for Dallas was Game 5 of the conference semifinal against Colorado, which was the back end of back-to-back games. He was pulled in the first period after giving up four goals, and Khudobin finished the game.
In his career, Khudobin is 5-6-0 with a 2.65 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage on zero days of rest. In this postseason overall, he's 13-9 with a .915 save percentage and a 2.81 goals-against average. Rookie Jake Oettinger will back him up in Game 5.
The Stars' goaltending and defense has been crumbling as the series against the Lightning has continued. They won Game 1, 4-1, but allowed 22 shots on goal in the third period of that game. Since then, the Lightning have won three games in a row, Khudobin has an .863 save percentage in that span and Tampa's power play is six for its past 12 opportunities.
The catalyst for that waning defense are the injuries that are piling up for Dallas. Along with Bishop, the Stars will be without forwards Blake Comeau, Radek Faksa and Roope Hintz, who was injured in Game 4 after stepping on a loose stick and crashing into the boards.
"Clearly the special teams were the difference last night. Some of the problems on the penalty kill were self-inflicted," Bowness said. "We've had success all year with the guys that have been running it, and all of a sudden we're missing three of the five top guys. The chemistry changes."
The injuries and fatigue make the mountain the Stars must climb to win the Stanley Cup just a little higher: Teams that take a 3-1 lead in the Stanley Cup Final have won the Cup 33 of 34 times since the best-of-seven format began in 1939.

Winless Sunshine Girls finish last at Fast5 World Series
Jamaica's Sunshine Girls ended the 2022 Fast5 Netball World Series without a win following second day losses to England, New Zealand and Uganda.
Overall, the inexperienced unit could only claim a last place finish after losing all five matches and being the only team at the tournament to fail to register a win.
The second and final day of the event began with a 27-32 loss to England, where the team started well but could not maintain its consistency and eventually paid for several costly turnovers. Things were far less competitive against New Zealand who used the powerplay well to rack up 40 points in an 18-goal win over the Caribbean team.
The loss sent the Jamaicans to the 5th and 6th place play-offs against African team Uganda who they had already suffered a loss to on the previous day. Things did not go better the second time around as the Jamaicans were once again unable to make any inroads against their lesser ranked opponents. The surprise package of the tournament went to register an impressive 32-10 victory over the struggling Jamaicans and with it the 5th place spot. After dominating for most of the tournament Australia ended the event as champions, earning a first world title.

Can Jamaica's growing stock of female sprint hurdlers rise to global dominance?
For more than a decade now, Jamaica's women have bossed the 100m. Veronica Campbell-Brown won Jamaica's first global 100m gold medal in Osaka in 2007 and since then Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah have basically made the 100m their own with the former winning five world titles and two Olympic titles while Thompson won back to back 100m titles in Brazil in 2016 and 2021 in Tokyo, Japan where she established a new Olympic record of 10.61.
However, with their dominance of the blue-ribbon sprint at its zenith, the women from the land of wood and water seem poised to begin dominating yet another event, the 100m hurdles. Since the 1990s, Jamaica has done reasonably well at the sprint hurdles.
Michelle Freeman was the first Jamaican woman to reach a global final and eventually won won global medals in 1993 and 1997. Dionne Rose and Freeman were Jamaica's first ever Olympic finalists, finishing fifth and sixth, respectively in 1996.
The following year Freeman and Gillian Russell, a 1995 World Championships finalist, went 1-2 at the World Indoor Championships.
Brigitte Foster-Hylton and Delloreen Ennis-London picked up from them with the former winning silver at the 2003 World Championships, bronze in 2005. Ennis-London won a silver and bronze at the 2005 and 2007 World Championships respectively.
Foster-Hylton made the breakthrough at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin with a fantastic run to give Jamaica gold, Ennis-London won the bronze. Danielle Williams won Jamaica's second 100m hurdles gold in Beijing 2015 in Beijing and followed with a bronze medal in 2019.
Two years later, Megan Tapper created history for Jamaica when she became the first-ever Jamaican woman to win a medal in the 100m hurdles at an Olympic Games when she captured bronze in Tokyo, Japan.
Then at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon, Britany Anderson, a finalist in Tokyo in 2021, won silver in the sprint hurdlers.
Tapper and Anderson are among a growing cadre of Jamaican female sprint hurdlers who are among the very best in the world. Among them are Ackera Nugent, the World U20 60m hurdles record holder who opened her 2023 season with a time of 8.00 indoors and Demisha Roswell, who ran a personal best 12.44 and is the fastest Jamaican woman in the world this year over the 60m hurdles with a 7.98 clocking this past weekend.
There is also hope that former national record holder Janeek Brown will make a successful return to the event this season after two years of disruption in her personal life and athletic career. Perhaps, the most talented of the lot is 17-year-old Kerrica Hill, who last year succeeded Nugent as World Under 20 champion and who recently turned professional.
In 2022, Jamaica had four of the 10 fastest women in the world. The USA also had four while Puerto Rico and Nigeria had one each.
If Jamaica's women are to reach the pinnacle and find some level of dominance it will require a lot of technical work and consistently fast hurdling to get there but if the 100m women are anything to go by, nothing is beyond their reach.
"Once I'm healthy, I will go super-fast"- 200m World Champion Shericka Jackson feels no pressure to repeat 2022 exploits
Jamaican World 200m champion Shericka Jackson says she feels no pressure to replicate her exploits from her phenomenal 2022 season, insisting that once she is healthy, the times and performances will come naturally.
Jackson's comments came after opening her 2023 outdoor season with a 53.11 effort to win the 400m ahead of GC Foster College's Odeisha Nation (55.37) and Christine Cheka (55.78) at the Queen's/Grace Jackson meet at the National Stadium in Kingston on Saturday.
"For me there's no pressure. I believe my coach and I did a very good job last year and all we have to do now is stay focused, not on other people's expectations but his and my expectations. Once I'm healthy, I will definitely go super-fast," Jackson said.
Jackson is coming off a phenomenal 2022 season. At the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon, she sped to a personal best of 21.45 to win gold in the 200m, becoming the fastest woman alive in the process.
In addition to her 200m crown, Jackson ran a personal best 10.73 to secure second in the 100m behind teammate Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce.
Prior to last season, Jackson said that one of her goals was to run 10.6 in the 100m, and, according to her, that has not changed.
"Last year I wanted to run 10.6 and I didn't do that. To finish last year as the sixth-fastest ever and not run 10.6 is a great feeling. I think I have a lot more in the tank for the 100m so I just have to focus on execution and fast times will come," she said.
Last season, Jackson also made waves on the indoor circuit, finishing sixth at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade in a personal best 7.04.
On February 4, she will compete in the event at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston.
"Last year the 60m helped me improve my start. I ran 7.04 and this year I'm hoping I can go faster," she said.
The field will be a loaded one, including 400m hurdles World and Olympic Champion and world record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, World Indoor 60m silver medalist Mikiah Briscoe and World Championship 100m finalist Aleia Hobbs.
"It's a good field competing so my focus is executing a good 60m," Jackson said.
