When visiting an online shopping site I didn't log on - I just clicked the site from a google search. Someone else's shopping cart and info popped up. I'm concerned because I ordered from them recently. Of course it gave the option 'if I'm not "user name" click here', but why would I get someone else's information in the first place?
I'd want to see the amount of information that was presented before I passed final judgment, but even so - even if it was something as simple as their full name I'd consider that a privacy breach.
And I'd seriously reconsider shopping at that site again.
Let me review how this might have happened.

Can you tell me how to set up a new email account with Yahoo?
Can you tell me how to set up a new email account with Yahoo? I want to start using it for email.
Yahoo! is the third largest free email service these days, behind Hotmail and Google Mail. Interestingly enough, though, Yahoo! offers to many other services that it's quite possible you already have a Yahoo! account and a Yahoo! email address.
Let's look at what to do if you do, and how to create a new one if you don't.

I think I've got a problem with my hard disk, and tried to run chkdsk but I keep getting this "chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process" error. What's that mean and what do I do to fix it?
Chkdsk is an important and little understood command line utility that comes with every version of Microsoft Windows. It's purpose, as it's mangled name implies, is to "check" your "disk".
I'll look at why, what to do, and what it looks like as it happens.
Continue reading: What does "chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process" mean?
There isn't a lot of free space on my main drive, and I wanted to install software on my PC but it was not installed successfully. However, it got 2GB of the space on that drive, and its not possible to uninstall or remove that program in "add or remove program". How can i remove it?
It's too bad that the failed install didn't clean up after itself.
A good installer/setup program should do exactly that: if it fails for any reason clean up. That means not taking up 2 gigabytes of space for something that didn't work.
However, you're in that situation, so I'll look at some of the approaches I would take recover that space.
Continue reading: A failed install is taking up a lot of disk space and I can't uninstall. What can I do?
However, this question also gives me an opportunity to clear up some misconceptions and some terms that don't mean what you think they mean.

Your advice on the driver update programs is 'Spot On', Leo. I have tried at least 3 driver update programs from very reputable software companies. While they usually recommended the correct update, they occasionally miss-identified the correct update resulting in failure of the device. I found that the PC manufacturer is the best source for driver updates even long after the PC warranty has expired.
Mr. Leo, you must consider which operating system the user has... then, ask what kind of video, Flash? Silverlight? 9 MS tech support can't ask him that? and oh tell him there is a IE9 beta that should fix his problem... if not, Firefox is a very nice alternative. That is not a virus but a corrupt install of IE8, can only fix it with a browser update.
IE9 Beta should not not not be considered a solution to any problems until it's actually been released.
I have owned a computer repair business in South Florida for over 4 years now. In that time, (aside from people who just never installed any anti-virus, and believe me there are plenty), the vast majority of customers whose Windows were infected beyond all hope were using either McAfee or Norton Anti-Virus. I hate to publicly put down any business but the facts are the facts. I have taken as many as 400 malware incidents out of a single computer whose anti-virus was up-to-date and real-time scanning activated. Needless to say the Windows by that point needed re-installed and they lost most of their photos, stored music, files etc. Leo made the points that your anti-virus MUST scan daily and be updated daily, but don't forget also to make sure that your Windows updates are current. Many people don;t realize that a critical update is just that. It's there for your protection, not Microsoft's.
I wrote an article on anti virus software and unfortunately, Norton came out as less than adequate [ without using strong words ]. Since using Malwarebytes Anti-malware in conjunction with Avast professional. I have caught stuff nothing else see's. What's not documented in Avast is the fact IF you run Malwarebytes scan on it's own with Avast running real time, it handshakes with avast and together they BOTH scan the same files so what one misses, the other picks up. So far not a sausage has managed to defeat them in 2 years. I update every 24 hours in the wee hours of the morning when the PC is idle.
My strengths are Windows, PCs and the internet in general, with a small smattering of Linux thrown in for fun.
Notably missing from that list is Apple, and more specifically the Macintosh. I have a MacBook, but I use it only occasionally, and I don't have an iPhone or even an iPod.
I'm very pleased to discover that my friend Gary Rosenzweig has a very helpful gem of a resource, hidden in MacMost - a site dedicated to "Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod and Apple TV Help and Tutorials".
It looks like a news site. It is a news site. A pretty good Mac related news site at that.
But it's also something much more helpful.
Privacy and security are common topics to the questions I get. As you might imagine I get this question from both directions: people wanting to find someone, and people not wanting to be found.
Can someone find my home address or telephone number from my email address?
I want to give someone my email address but make sure they cannot get my home address or telephone number. How can I guarantee this? In other words can someone find my home address or telephone number by knowing my email address?
The short answer is that no, they cannot.
The longer answer is that no, they cannot, unless you've been careless.
While I always appreciate the occasional cup of coffee or beer there's a way you can help me and support Ask Leo! that's totally free and very easy to do.
If you find Ask Leo! valuable - tell a friend.

Italian pasta company Barilla -- usually known for making Napoletana sauce and fettuccine -- is branching out into the dessert biz and launching its own kind of Nutella, Reuters reports.
The rival spread will be called Crema Pan di Stelle which already sounds fancier than plain ol' Nutella -- because it literally translates to 'cream bread of the stars'. Bella!
But the real secret weapon that Barilla is brandishing with their choc spread is that it will leave out a certain ingredient that Nutella uses by the bucketload -- palm oil.
Ferrero -- the family-owned Nutella producer -- ended its use of deforestation palm oil and has become a lot more transparent about their supply chain, but there's still a consumer backlash against the use of the palm oil.
The widely consumed vegetable oil is found in a number of everyday supermarket products but the production process often means rainforests are wiped out and wildlife -- like orangutans -- and endangered, according to Greenpeace.
So Crema Pan di Stelle will offer consumers a chocolate hazelnut spread you can eat with a spoon straight from the jar, without that pang of environmental guilt.
And besides being palm oil free, it will also contain crumbs of Barilla cookies, which could draw battle lines similar to the famous peanut butter debate.
Whether you prefer a crunchy or smooth choc spread could dictate which brand you align yourself with.
It also seems that Barilla has launched the product for an ~extremely petty~ reason -- to get back at their Ferrero rivals.
The Nutella producer is reportedly planning to move into the biscuit business -- which, according to Reuters is "a direct challenge to Barilla's own chocolate cookie brand, Baiocchi."
Crema Pan di Stelle will be released next year and, honestly, we can't wait for Ferrero's next response in this mouth-watering rivalry.

Veterans discard medals in Syria protest
Tuesday 8 December | 1pm
Assemble Nelson's Column |Trafalgar Square
Then to Downing Street
In protest at yet another attack on a middle eastern country, veterans of the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya will discard their medals at Downing Street on Tuesday 8 December.
One of the veterans, Daniel Lenham who served in the RAF from 2002 to 2014 said "In protest at the decision to bomb Syria, we will hand back medals given to us for participating in previous attacks on the Middle East."
He continued "These invasions, occupations and attacks have caused great destruction, killed hundreds of thousands of people and have led to the destruction of societies. Bombing is never a solution it is time to stop."
David Smith who served in the Royal Green Jackets said "I want to express my utter disgust at the decision to unlawfully bomb Syria, god help all those who are likely to suffer as a result of this action. I renounce all forms of state sanctioned Warfare and Violence."
Kirk Sollitt who served in the Gulf War said "By bombing in Syria we are killing innocent, vulnerable sentient beings, men, woman and children. You cannot sow bloodshed and reap peace. I no longer want these medals."
Discarding their medals in Downing Street will be:
Daniel Lenham – served in the RAF from 2002 to 2014. He deployed on operations against Iraq and Libya.
Kirk Sollitt – served in the Royal Engineers from 1987 to 1991 and the Cheshire Regiment from 1997 to 2000. He deployed to the Gulf War and N Ireland.
Phil Mace – served in the Royal Engineers from 2006 to 2012. He deployed to Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
Dave Smith – served in the Royal Green jackets from 1975 to 1981. He deployed to Northern Ireland.

Archibald McNab, 17th chief of Clan Macnab (b in Perthshire, Scot c 1781; d at Lannion, France 12 Aug 1860). McNab came to Upper Canada in 1822 to flee his creditors in Scotland. His settlement scheme was approved Nov 1823 and he was given land on the Madawaska River.
Archibald McNab, 17th chief of Clan Macnab (b in Perthshire, Scot c 1781; d at Lannion, France 12 Aug 1860). McNab came to Upper Canada in 1822 to flee his creditors in Scotland. His settlement scheme was approved Nov 1823 and he was given land on the Madawaska River. The township was surveyed and called McNab in 1824 and he brought about 15 families from Scotland in 1825 who, with others recruited in Canada, settled the township on terms laid down by McNab.
For the next 15 years he plundered these people and pursued them in the courts. He was supported at first by his politically well-placed friends in Toronto and at Perth, but his position, unassailable in the 1830s, was wholly undermined in the 1840s by his excessive greed. Ultimately he was driven from the township by the determination of the settlers to work together and to petition the councils of Upper Canada and Canada West.
He lived in Hamilton until at least 1851, before leaving Canada and dying in exile in France. With 4 children and a wife abandoned in Scotland, he fathered at least one illegitimate child in McNab Township, and another upon his return to England in the 1850s.

United manager Greg Abbott spoke to us following the disappointing performance at MK Dons on Saturday.
He said: "It's in games like this where we need everything to go for us. They have quality in their side and if you gift them a goal, then don't work hard enough to close them down, it can only become difficult.
"We needed that bit of luck on our side but today we have to hold our hands up to being second best. We were disappointing all over in the first half so we addressed that, and we did have our spells after the break. We probably needed one of the chances we made to go in to just lift the group, but I don't think we can argue with the result.
"We know what we're up against because we don't quite have that depth in the squad we need. We've been working away at that for some time and it does get frustrating when we can't quite get things over the line, but that's the situation we're in. We deal with it and we keep plugging away until we find the players who will come in and give us more options.
"What we do know is that we're better than what we've shown today. We usually come here and give a really good account of ourselves, but we didn't get at them and give them enough to think about. We'll talk about that when we get back in on Monday because we need to be at full throttle in every game we play. We are determined to have a go at making this a successful season again and we can only do that by getting it right when we go over that white line.
"Adam [Collin] held his hand up for the first goal and we accept that. When mistakes come at places like this you tend to get hurt by them, but he has made three or fours saves after that which kept us in with a chance of getting something, so you have to look at it from a balanced view point. We have to eradicate mistakes like that, the whole team knows that, but it's half the battle if the group is honest enough to own up and take responsibility. Adam knows his strengths and weaknesses and he is working hard to improve on everything he does. He's a good keeper, he's shown us that time and time again, and I'm sure he'll bounce back from it.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Twenty-one participant partners from across the United States joined about 400 of their fellow All of Us Research Program (AoURP) consortium members for two full days of learning, networking and honest conversations about this historic effort at the AoURP Face to Face Meeting in Bethesda, Maryland from October 28 through 30, 2019.
Historic research program
All of Us is a historic research program, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to gather health data from 1 million people around the United States in order to accelerate and improve Precision Medicine in the US. Participant partners are enrolled AoURP participants who represent the participant voice in All of Us.
They represent community partners, including regional medical centers, community health centers, universities, the Veterans Administrations and direct volunteer organizations.
They also represent the geographic, social and racial diversity that All of Us is attempting to enroll in the Program. Participant partners serve on every level of governance in the program – the Executive and Steering Committees, the external Advisory Panel and on the governance groups which oversee AoURP scientific decision-making.
Stars of the meeting
The participant partners attended the governance breakout sessions at the meetings, attended the plenary sessions and, according to many who attended, they were the stars of the meeting.
On Tuesday morning, seven of participant partners joined Dr. Consuelo Wilkins, Director of the Engagement Core, on the stage to share the impact they think they have had on All of Us. These participants had recorded "testimonials," which were debuted at this meeting to hundreds of gathered and online attendees. These testimonials were short video clips about why they had joined the program and what being a part of it has meant to them.
'Inspired and challenged'
"Hearing from our participant partners about what impact they have had on the program, and what surprised them about research and researchers, inspired and challenged the consortium members," remarked Dr. Wilkins.
She added, "Having these participant partners take such a prominent place in our meeting was a visual way to show that integrating participants into the governance and oversight of research can be done."
A unique phenomenon
"It was great to see that so many participant partners are embedded in various committees, subcommittees and workgroups," commented one participant who attended the meeting.
The energy, passion, and commitment these participant partners bring to AoURP are crucial for the success of the program, and their multi-level involvement in the research program makes it a unique phenomenon in US research. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) is proud to be a part of this effort and in helping these participant partners contribute so substantially to All of Us.
About the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance
Founded in 1999, the Alliance bridges the institutions of Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Its mission is to enrich learning and advance clinical research in three primary areas -- community engagement, interprofessional education and research -- by developing and supporting mutually beneficial partnerships between Meharry Medical College, Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the communities they serve. Through community engagement, the Alliance serves a large community of stakeholders including surrounding universities and colleges, community organizations, faith-based outlets and community health centers. Its interprofessional education enhances students' interdisciplinary understanding and improves patient outcomes through integrated care. The research conducted provides access to experienced grant writers and materials supporting the grant application process and facilitates grant-writing workshops.

Rachel Bilson Dreams Of 'O.C.' Reunion
'Hart of Dixie' star tells MTV News her former castmates don't share her enthusiasm for an 'O.C.' reunion.
Kase Wickman 01/16/2014
Rachel Bilson, star of The CW's "Hart of Dixie," knows that you haven't quite forgotten her past years-long TV role as Summer Roberts on the teen soap "The O.C." — nor are you likely to ever forget it. And, she's actually cool with that.
Bilson shares her fans' love of Summer, she recently told MTV News: "She's just so carefree," the actress shared. "She just does not give a you-know-what — you know what I'm saying? I really respect that. She seems cool. She seems like someone you'd want to hang out with."
Now, 10 years later, do Bilson's former castmates — such as the newly engaged Adam Brody, who played her fast-talking beau Seth Cohen, or her onscreen BFF Marissa, Mischa Barton — still want to hang out with Summer? Well, apparently not in official reunion sense. Bilson said that while she thinks it would be "cool to do something," fans shouldn't count on a reunion. (As you might remember, Bilson posted her own 10-year throwback recently.)
According to Bilson, there are some cast holdouts. "I get it to a certain extent, but it's like, come on, it's been 10 years, and it was such a big thing in all of our lives," she said. "It would be cool to pay homage to it in some way."
Catch "Hart of Dixie" Monday nights on The CW and "The O.C." on ... DVD. (Sigh.)

The Justice Department today announced that Twin Creek Apartments, LLC (Twin Creek), owner of an apartment complex in Bellevue, Nebraska, adjacent to the Offutt Air Force Base, has agreed to a settlement to resolve allegations that it violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) by imposing lease termination charges against 65 servicemembers who had exercised their federal right to terminate their residential leases. The charges ranged from $72 to $1,498 per servicemember. The Department initiated an investigation into the practices of Twin Creek after receiving a referral from a U.S. Air Force Community Legal Services office.
The SCRA provides certain protections to servicemembers who must terminate their residential leases in order to comply with military orders for a permanent change of station, deployment, or retirement. Under the terms of the settlement, Twin Creek must pay a total of $76,516 in damages to the 65 identified servicemembers. Under the agreement, Twin Creek will also pay a civil penalty of $20,000 to the United States. The settlement also prohibits Twin Creek from engaging in future violations of the SCRA.
"This is a just resolution for the former tenants and demonstrates our continuing commitment to protecting our servicemembers," said Joe Kelly, U.S. Attorney for the District of Nebraska.
The Department's enforcement of the SCRA is conducted by the Civil Rights Division's Housing and Civil Enforcement Section and United States Attorney's Offices. Since 2011, the Department has obtained over $467 million in monetary relief for servicemembers through its enforcement of the SCRA. The SCRA provides protections for servicemembers in areas such as evictions, rental agreements, security deposits, prepaid rent, civil judicial proceedings, installment contracts, credit card interest rates, mortgage interest rates, mortgage foreclosures, automobile leases, life insurance, health insurance and income tax payments. For more information about the Department's SCRA enforcement, please visit www.servicemembers.gov.

Australia Updates Mandatory Safety Standards for Certain Toys
Australia has issued two instruments for certain toys. Projectile toys must comply with the new instrument from June 12, 2021 and aquatic toys must comply with the new requirements from June 12, 2022.
SAFEGUARDS | Toys & Juvenile ProductsNO. 095/20
In Australia, children's toys are regulated by several mandatory safety standards. These mandatory safety standards, which address physical and mechanical properties, chemical properties and/or labeling requirements, include:
Consumer Protection Notice No. 14 of 2003, as amended by Consumer Protection No. 1 of 2005 'Toys for children up to and including 36 months of age'
Consumer Protection Notice No. 1 of 2009 'Lead and certain elements' (this standard includes finger paints)
Consumer Protection Notice No. 2 of 2009 'Flotation and aquatic toys'
Consumer Protection Notice No. 5 of 2010 'Toys containing magnets'
Consumer Protection Notice No. 16 of 2010 'Projectile toys'
These mandatory safety standards reference certain toy safety standards for compliance with their requirements.
On June 11, 2020, Australia registered two instruments to update two mandatory safety standards for specific toys. In effect since June 12, 2020, these new instruments are
Consumer Goods (Projectile Toys) Safety Standard 2020 dated June 3, 2020
Consumer Goods (Aquatic Toys) Safety Standard 2020 dated June 3, 2020.
Projectile Toys
Consumer Goods (Projectile Toys) Safety Standard 2020 mandates projectile toy compliance with specific clauses in one of four current toy standards:

ASTM F963-17 'Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety'
EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018 'Safety of toys - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties'
ISO 8124-1:2018 'Safety of toys - Part 1: Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties'
Additionally, a warning statement (WARNING: Do not aim at eyes or face) is required on the instructions accompanying the toy, and on the packaging for projectile toys capable of launching a projectile more than 300 mm.
Until June 11, 2021, projectile toys must comply with either the Consumer Product Safety Standard for Children's Projectile Toys (Consumer Notice No. 16 of 2010) or the new instrument. From June 12, 2021, these toys must comply with the new instrument.
Aquatic Toys
Consumer Goods (Aquatic Toys) Safety Standard 2020 mandates aquatic toys to comply with warning formatting requirements, and specific clauses in one of two existing toy standards:
Until June 11, 2022, aquatic toys can comply with either the Consumer Product Safety Standard for Flotation Toys and Aquatic Toys (Consumer Protection Notice No. 2 of 2009) or the new instrument. From June 12, 2022, these toys must comply with the new instrument.
Highlights of these two new instruments are summarized in Table 1.

Q: How to use select by attribute or where clause to return equal values? I would like to write a where clause in ArcGIS for Desktop where I make a selection on table one, the clause is DEGREES = 45 for the second table I would like to find all IN_FID that match the OID of table one, but also select only the rows where NEAR_ANGLE IS BETWEEN -135 AND 135.
How would this be written in the select by attribute box in one selection statement?
Table 1 name is CALLS
Table 2 name is ANGLES
I am using ArcGIS for Desktop 10.4.1

A: The select by attribute tools can´t do a query for two tables at once. What you would need to do is joining the tables first. And then you can easily combine your statements.

A: This is known as a subquery. The WHERE clause for the selection on ANGLES would look like (untested) "NEAR_ANGLE" >= -135 AND "NEAR_ANGLE" <= 135 AND IN_FID IN (SELECT OID FROM CALLS WHERE "DEGREES" = 45).

I recently read an article that talked about how the iPad is being used in up-scale restaurants. Would it be surprising to learn that the iPad is being used as an electronic wine list?! This prompted me to evaluate the overall practicality of the iPad itself.
Understandably so, whenever a new "tech" device arrives on the scene, one of the first things that happens is people ask if it's worth the retail price. Well, I've owned an iPad for almost two months now and I can say I've gotten my practical uses out of it for sure.
You can kiss writing notes on paper goodbye! The iPad is the perfect complement for all your work meetings. There are plenty of note-taking apps available for the iPad, but the one I liked the most is Penultimate. This app allows you to create virtual notebooks, in which you can have an unlimited amount of pages of notes. The best part about it is that you can write all your notes with just your finger or you can get a fancy stylus that works with the iPad (and iPhone/iPod Touch).
I also use it while I walk around troubleshooting problems for my co-workers. I use it to take more notes or to enter things into my calendar on the fly. Everyone at my job now wants an iPad because it replaces Post-It notes (to an extant) as well as paper notepads and pens.
What's the difference between work and home these days? For me, there is no difference, but it's nice to be able to kick back and relax while playing a few games to hold you over until dinner. My favorite started out as FlightCTRL HD because that the first game I demoed on the iPad when I went to the Apple store to see one for the first time. It's a super fun game that becomes really addicting really fast. My newest favorite is Texas Poker because it's free and because it has online multiplayer capabilities.
Speaking of ebook readers, all you Amazon Kindle owners can look no further for your next device upgrade. Yes, there's a Kindle app for the iPad that allows you to open and read all of your already purchased Kindle books–and in full color!
If you're actually moving while using the iPad, hopefully you're a passenger and not the driver and if you have the 3G version, you can do everything I said above while driving to your next destination. I've taken my iPad almost everywhere I go. I've used it in stores, at gas stations, at restaurants and riding around with friends.
I think the best part of the iPad is the ability to be more portable than having a laptop, but large enough to not be stuck on the tiny screen of a smartphone.
The iPad is great and works as well as any product can be expected, but alas…there are some gripes that I have. Just a fair warning–these gripes come from the iPad software version 3.2.2.
No file system – The iPad uses the same software as the iPhone and therefore has many limitations as far as file sharing, file manipulation, file storage and everything else to do with files.
Limited web browsing – The iPad still suffers from the limitations that affect the iPhone like no Flash support, weird Java problems and no tabbed browsing (if using Safari).
No printing – Even the cheapest of netbooks can print! But, I hear that wireless printing will be available on the next software update in November, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that it actually works.
No multitasking – Yet. This is also a new feature coming out and I have a feeling, it'll become much more useful on the iPad than it was on the iPhone.
All in all, the iPad is a great device and is very useful in the right setting, but if you're on the fence about it, you may not really need it. It truly is just an oversized iPhone/iPod touch. If you're looking for something closer to a netbook in features, you'll need to get a netbook…or wait until all these new touch-screen "iPad killers" start coming out from HP, Lenovo, etc. They are supposed to integrate features of a netbook with the design and simplicity of an iPad.
I just read those articles and it's great to see technology being used for something more valuable than playing Angry Birds all day! Thanks for sharing.

Ash Wednesday: Dangerous old women

When I was a child, after we got a new priest at the immigrant Hungarian church, my grandmother Katerin started making the ashes for Ash Wednesday by herself. She said the new priest was impatient, and didn't burn the ashes well enough at high enough flame so his ashes only made a faint mark on foreheads on Ash Wednesday.
That's how I learned to walk around happily with my grandmother's homemade palm frond ashes making a dark black cross on my forehead... sort of like a miner's headlight beaming to the world...
right there on the forehead, all of us on that high holy day signaling each other, 'Yes we are together on a pilgrimage of remembering... remembering life's median which is not cruelty, nor ignorance, but wisdom. Shed everything that is not wisdom. Shed everything that is not well needed.
The other side of the family too, during La cuaresma, Lent, would tell whomever asked, that Cuaresma was a time of penitence for life wrongly lived, a time of fasting to mortify the body, and a time of doing good... that last part, actually should come first, but too often it was not emphasized and seemed an almost "nice but not necessary."
But, the good works are necessary, and we old believers, with man-made map or not, we find our own ways to it all, one way or another, this tangle of 9th century and older rituals we call preparation for the darkening and resurrection of the Light of the World.
But, it didn't take long for me to realize that the official party line about Lent, was nothing like the reality.
Even as a young adult, I was doing Lent all wrong by trying to be good, by trying to fast, by trying do good. But it just wasn't working.
Something was missing. Besides my inability to be perfect. Besides my inability to ever dress up without something always being out of place, red slip showing, two different colored black shoes (yes, there are a thousand shades of black heels), hair sticking up funny (without realizing it). Even today, many decades later, my friends smile because I sometimes wail rather pitifully, 'I'm never going to be a saint...' because though every day I rededicate myself to trying to be at least like one of the lesser saints, on most days I have already ruined my brief run of saint-likeness by 10 o' clock each morning.
But, still, as a young adult, it was none of these that stood in the way of partaking in Lent in depth. I seemed to have a bad case of post-adolescent Lenten ennui.
Yet, my grandmother used to say: "You go to the well to draw water and it rains on the way..." meaning, nourishment, understanding and insight may not always come in rote ways, but also arrive unexpectedly and from odd angles. Take it up: it is good.
Even when it comes in "unauthorized forms..." perhaps especially because it comes without being vetted by a committee of two-hundred people who insist ten pounds of mud must be squished into a five pound bag... and are willing to dislocate joints and cut off limbs to 'force a proper fit.' That isn't theology. That's ill theoretics pretending to be theology.
Thus, it wasn't until I took a sculpting class, now many years ago, I then began to understand Lent more deeply. My soul listened in class, and I realized that Lent is indeed near the returning of the light in springtime, and that Lent's work is related to sculpture directly: to release a scintillating form from out of the seemingly dead stone. Meaning not only the Cristo at the center of the Story of stories, but meaning us.
I find Lent, at heart, is like creating a sculpture, calling forth and releasing the light form from the dark block... and particularly: taking away what is not needed in order for the most radiant form to be revealed.
That was so pure to my little brain. Lenten ritual: knocking off the marble not needed, even the most precious Italian Carrara marble; cracking it along a fault line or a certain studied angle, hitting it with chisel and mallet, not smashing, but precisely, clumsily even, but softly... letting the unneeded marble break away... not trying to save what is not needed.
Only trying to reveal the new form brought by each season of heavy studio work... from hauling in the blank block of stone, to finding and freeing the living filament inside it, the form ever given by Creator.
Then, after, to polish that one and add it to the other forms of holy self freed from the stone in previous seasons. The polishing of all, taking an entire lifetime of Lents and all other days.
On Ash Wednesday, my grandmother and aunts and I would go to church and despite all grumbling before and after, get our too-pale ashes from the priest who was inexperienced at burning the palm fronds.
We all already had a bad reputation at church for praying too loudly... as many of the immigrants and refugees did... because that's how it was done, in sort of a loud musical drone, back in the Old Country.
Listen to the Bulgarian Women's Choir, their loud, slightly harsh but haunting harmonies, and understand that as prayer-method too. The family devotees wanted to make sure their Intercessor heard every word about how grateful they were to be in America, with a roof, and black dirt and work, and food, and... well... more food. They wanted the Creator to hear their travails and their gratitudes.
My relatives could not read or write, but most knew Psalms by heart, taking them literally. When "more advanced" church-goers who'd been in the States for several generations would give my aunts and grandmothers hard looks, those dangerous old women would just pray in Hungarian these words that the people who'd been in America a long time could no longer understand
... "In my distress I call upon the LORD... he heard my voice ... and my cry came before him, even into his ears."
And then the old women would happily go on with their praying, treating the Creator as though he was a very frail old man with battered hearing trumpets for both ears.
Well, like I said, probably a lot like your elders too, out of simple and harsh survival for years on end, the old women were probably already certified dangerous before they even docked at Ellis Island.
So, perhaps it wasn't so odd that on Ash Wednesday, my grandmother carried a little wooden needle case of ashes around.
She'd burnt the palms from Palm Sunday previous and saved them back. She didn't know she wasn't supposed to take on priestly duties. She thought she supposed to be an elder and exemplar to the young, meaning anyone younger than 110 years old, and that she was here "to remember people back into themselves."
And so on an Ash Wednesday, she'd dress up her little black dog who had hairy brown eyebrows, and tell him (He was named Teresa... another story for another time) how they were going to go help people. And Teresa would jump all around excited to be some tiny version of a St. Bernard with a mission to help humans in the cold of a backwoods winter.
Off they'd tilt from the snowy wooden porch steps, and she'd be sure to have her vial of ashes and ask any and every neighbor she met, had they got their ashes yet, yes or no?
And some would say no and look sheepish; work, kids, family members, homework, bus, fields, repair, storm coming, no time. But never fear, for the Ashes Lady was near. Grandmother'd whip out her little needle case, dip the tip of her thumb in, and with soft eyes and as though talking to a starving child, she'd ask, Would you like some?
And if they assented, which they always did, they'd soon after be walking down the street with a big sooty black cross shining like a headlamp on their foreheads too.
My grandmother was the only light-skinned woman who lived in ten square blocks of houses owned by black families. Most blacks there were not Catholic, but the church ladies from the A.M.E. and Zion Baptist, and Daughters of the Everything, loved my grandmother and all her cooking and pastries she gave out freely to children and adults alike...
even though two people in our large immigrant family grumped about her giving out pastries to "the colored." They argued that it took a whole day or two to make the pastries and she shouldn't be working for the neighbors for free, and look at the steep price of sugar alone, and huff, puff, mutter, blather.
But, a lot like your own kin too, Katerin had an eagle's eye for hypocrisy. She'd say some version of: And so if it only took five minutes to make this sweet bread and this ratás and these kiflis and that kolasc, then it would be alright to give them to "the coloreds?" (Pronounced with a thick Magyar accent as 'color-reds,' with the emphasis on the last syllable).
Those particular relatives would throw up their hands and stomp off. Impossible woman. No sense.
And she'd say, "Ya ya, I gots no cents... Ha! See! But I gots lots of dollars worth of brains instead!"
They say that punning well is a indication of high intelligence. Or love of life. Or love of humanity. Or just being born silly... a virtue in itself.
But that stayed with me too about Lent: that on the street, giving what takes time to create, Grandmother asking after each person's life before she gave them the cross of ashes on their foreheads, and she would hear and comfort and laugh and pat.
After those tendings to the soul, listening and responding, then the ashes. Not before. Not without. So that too, the listening and the comforting and the doing what you can. The good works part. In the moment, the Tao of the sidewalk: Be with. Be with some more. However one can.
Let it be so for all of us at this time,
that by giving away, subtracting in some wise sense,
we can grow stronger and are mysteriously added to,
enlivened, arighted somehow...
able to reach, teach, be clarified and called,
to listen, and christen other souls, and our own,
in meaningful ways...
as we prepare for another turn of the great Wheel
during which time the stone of the grave, again,
will not be able to contain or restrain
The Light of the World.
In some customized way for each soul,
Let this, in some part, be the lesson.
Let this be our blessing of ashes.

First Check now a member of the International Fact-Checking Network
Published on Mon 15 Mar 2021 at 08:34
First Check, the health fact-checking initiative of Health Analytics Asia, is now a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network at Poynter, USA.
As a pioneer in its health fact-checking, First Check run by Health Analytics Asia at DataLEADS is now a signatory of International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN). Joining the ranks of 85 IFCN signatories, this recognition is the result of an independent, external assessment for compliance with an exhaustive list of criteria that test commitment to five basic principles – Non-partisanship and Fairness, Standards and Transparency of Sources, Transparency of Funding and Organization, Standards and Transparency of Methodology, and Open and Honest Corrections policy.
Established in 2015 at Poynter Institute, IFCN is a forum for fact-checkers worldwide to support fact-checking initiatives by promoting best practices and exchanges.
"We're honoured to join the IFCN as a verified signatory," said Syed Nazakat, Founder of DataLEADS, a parent organisation of Health Analytics Asia. "Fact-checking matters, now more than ever. This signatory status will strengthen our First Check initiative as a step ahead in our effort to collaborate more deeply with technologists, data scientists and doctors to combat mis- and disinformation."
First Check has been at the forefront of the fight against health misinformation by collaborating with doctors, public health experts and media professionals from across Asia. The team verifies, debunks dubious and misleading claims and myths related to public health, medicine and vaccination, relying on the latest online verification tools and approaches.
As a pioneer in its health fact-checking, First Check is led by deputy editor, Nabeela Khan and the team consists of an oncologist, a paediatrician, an endocrinologist, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, public health researchers, patient advocates, virologists and infection disease specialists, data scientists and several public health specialists from 12 countries across Asia.
The DataLEADS team has been building collaboration with medical and public health professionals since 2015. It was in 2015 when we first invited a group of 20 journalists and an equal number of doctors together at our first data boot camp in India's northern Himalayan region, Kashmir. The initiative has now become a pan-Asia unique cross-disciplinary health fact-checking collaboration network.
Last year our annual summit brought 620+ participants and delegates – policymakers, government officials, WHO team members, health journalists, fact-checkers and public health specialists – joining from across 55+ countries.
Update: Correction in byline.

Canadian fires trigger southern Minnesota air quality alert
MPR News Staff
The sun sets over downtown Minneapolis and the Mississippi River as seen from the Franklin Avenue bridge on Thursday. The haze, and the intense red-orange color of the sun, are due to smoke from Canadian wildfires; northwest winds have carried the smoke across much of Minnesota.
Andrew Krueger | MPR News
An air quality alert has been issued for much of the southern half of the state due to pollution blowing in from Canada wildfires.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency says the affected area include the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, Mankato, Marshall, Willmar, Hutchinson, Ortonville, and the Upper Sioux and Prairie Island Tribal nations.
The MPCA says air quality is expected to worsen as the day goes on, but then improve by the weekend.
The alert is in effect until 9 p.m. Friday.
