Screening for depression under the revised quality and outcomes framework will be a waste of money with no benefit for patients, a new assessment warns.
The analysis, based on the results of a gold standard Coch-rane review, concludes the requirement to screen patients with CHD and diabetes fulfils none of the National Screening Committee's criteria for a screening programme.
The researchers found there was 'scant' evidence screening alone would bring improvements in care or outcomes, and that the ratio of costs to benefits was 'unacceptable'.
To meet the committee's requirements, screening would need to bring therapeutic benefit and remission for more than 85 per cent of patients who screened positive  a target 'unlikely to be achievable'.
The researchers, whose Cochrane review examined evidence on more than 6,000 patients, found some evidence of benefit in those with concurrent chronic diseases, but only as part of a collaborative care programme.
'Screening for depression is an unhelpful diversion. It should only be introduced as part of a package of enhanced care. Without this, screening will be associated with increased costs and no benefit,' concluded the analysis, published in the BMJ.
Dr Simon Gilbody, senior lecturer in mental health services research at Hull-York medical school, who led the analysis, warned introducing screening into the QOF was 'putting the cart before the horse', because of the lack of access to depression services.
But Dr Chris Manning, chief executive of Primhe, insisted screening of patients with CHD and diabetes was 'justifiable' based on trial evidence.
'The absence of an available intervention is not in itself a justification for not bothering to assess any individual patient's mental state or feelings about their predicament,' he said.

St. Raphael's is a non-profit charitable organization that was created to build and operate a palliative care home and day centre that will offer free, high-quality palliative care in one of the most densely populated areas of Montreal.
About palliative care
Beyond medical care, terminally-ill patients need a warm environment where they can pass away with dignity, surrounded by their loved ones and caregivers. It is with this in mind that today medical services are being provided by a multidisciplinary team committed to easing the end-of-life transition, through palliative care.
The palliative care approach is based on accepting death as a natural part of life. Instead of focusing on finding a cure at all costs or resigning oneself to suffering, palliative care aims to relieve physical and psychological pain and to enhance the quality of life for terminally-ill patients.
What's more, as soon as a palliative approach is initiated, the wishes and desires of the dying person are taken into account, as are the needs and roles of the family, friends and caregivers who accompany the terminally-ill person.
Palliative care, a critical and growing need
The available resources in palliative care for terminally-ill Montrealers are inadequate in particular due to our aging population.
The number of hospital beds in palliative care is limited, and St. Raphael's will meet a growing and ever more urgent need.
St. Raphael's is located in a densely populated community of more than 362,000 people, encompassing six towns and five boroughs where there are no dedicated palliative care facilities.
By 2030, 25% of Montrealers will be 65 or over.
Chronic illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular or respiratory problems affect three out of four people over the age of 75. These are also the main causes of death.
Message from the Chair and the Executive Director
Why St. Raphael's?
In addition to meeting a demand for capacity in the health care system, St. Raphael's is introducing a novel concept as its palliative day centre will the first of its kind in Montreal.
This innovative approach has been tested in other countries and in three other cities in Quebec. The centre will allow care to be provided more quickly after a diagnosis and will improve patients' quality of life as well as providing a respite for caregivers. Eventually we hope to offer a range of care services: at home, at the day centre and in the palliative care home.
Moreover, we aspire to make the home and day centre a research centre and a centre of excellence to facilitate the provision of palliative care training and collaboration with major hospitals in Montreal and throughout Quebec.
From the very outset, St. Raphael's has attracted the attention of both English-speaking and French-speaking medical professionals as well as volunteers and donors from all walks of life. Its credibility has won over numerous collaborators and generous donors who have contributed to carrying out this ambitious project.
Because at the end of life, life comes first. Together let us build a future imbued with humanity.
Marie Michèle Del Balso
Past Chair of the Board
To offer exceptional palliative care in a warm and welcoming environment, free of charge, to people from all walks of life who are living with an incurable illness. To offer exceptional respite support and services to loved ones and caregivers. To be a centre of excellence and innovation that promotes training and collaboration with the healthcare and education sectors.
We share a profound desire to help others and give of ourselves to help improve the quality of life of all people in our community.
Our actions, interactions, and accomplishments are guided by a deep respect for others.
The care and services provided to patients and their loved ones and caregivers will respect their wishes and desires.
We firmly believe in the enjoyment of Life, wherever it is found, and we aim to create an environment conducive to countless moments of happiness and joy.
St. Raphael's will welcome people from all walks of life, regardless of their social condition, ethnic origin, sexual orientation and gender identity or religious beliefs.
Download our Code of ethics
A heritage to preserve.
A new history to write.
The origins of the project date back to 2008. After the closing of the Church of St. Raphael the Archangel on Lajoie Avenue in Montreal, the Archdiocese of Montreal agreed to transfer the use of this magnificent building and its land to the community, with the intent of enabling a unifying and humanitarian project that would benefit the entire community.
A committee composed of former parishioners and people from the business and health care sectors was formed to study and analyze the needs of the community. They found that what the area needed most was a palliative care home and day centre. That is how the St. Raphael's project was born, in memory of Father Gerry, the last parish priest at St. Raphael's, a generous and devoted man whose simple mission in life was to serve others, and who passed away from cancer in 2007.

In memory of father Gerry
Pastor of the Saint Raphael the Archangel parish, Father Gerald Sinel ("Father Gerry") worked as a priest for more than 42 years. He also served as chaplain of St. Mary's Hospital Centre for several years. In August 2007, Father Gerry passed away from pancreatic cancer, at the age of 82.
A man of great faith, Father Gerry dedicated his life to taking care of others and encouraged each of us to do the same. He was known and appreciated for his unconditional love, devotion, great listening skills, contagious smile, and his infinite compassion for the ill, the dying, and their loved ones.
During his last days, Father Gerry considered himself privileged to benefit from the attentive care of the professionals at the West Island Palliative Care Residence. Many times, he expressed a wish for transforming the St. Raphael church into warm and welcoming home for people at the end of their life.
We are extremely proud and happy to be working towards the realization of his dream, which has become the project of an entire community.


The Merseyside Derby gets underway on Sunday night as Everton host their cross-city rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park. In the city of Liverpool, you are either Red or Blue and it was the Reds that ran away 1-0 winners in the previous meeting held in December when youngster Divock Origi scored a late winner.
A win at the Goodison on Sunday will put Liverpool back at the top of the Premier League table, but the three points will not come easy.
Here, we look at three key battles that will determine the outcome of the Merseyside derby on Sunday.
Liverpool's Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, who has taken the Premier League by storm over the last couple of years, will be up against Everton's left-back Lucas Digne. The Frenchman is agile, quick and can block attacks with elan.
Digne put up a stellar performance against Cardiff City midweek in Everton's 3-0 win and will be hoping to repeat that when Liverpool come visiting. Salah, meanwhile, has been short on goals lately and will be looking to find his touch.
Sadio Mane, Liverpool's Senegalese left winger, will be up against Everton's Irish right-back and captain Seamus Coleman. Mane has been going through a purple patch of late and it will take all of Coleman's resolve to put an end to that.
Coleman has tons of experience at the highest level and has the ability to stop Mane from running amok. He is wily, strong and an extremely capable defender.
Gylfi Sigurdsson had a fantastic night against Cardiff City midweek when he scored two goals but he will be up against Liverpool's Brazilian import Fabinho who will man the Reds' central midfield. Sigurdsson is aware of the threat Fabinho can bring and he will have to act accordingly.
Fabinho has a tough task at hand as he will have to stop the deceptive runs made by the Icelander who has earned a hero's status at Goodison Park.

Posted byReally Awful Movies 2016-03-28 2016-03-28 Posted inAction FilmsTags:2010s movies
On April 1, 1990, I sat in the nosebleed section of Toronto's massive Skydome (now the Rogers Centre, but it will always remain the Skydome to me), waiting with bated breath to witness the contest of contests, the immovable force vs. the unstoppable object, Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior as the main event of Wrestlemania VI. The undercard was messy, the main event was hardly a five-star squared circle classic, but damn if it wasn't one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. As the match concluded, and the Hulkster, now beaten, offered his hand in friendship to his conqueror, you couldn't scrub the smile off my face with a Brillo pad.
Thoughts of Wrestlemanias past flooded my mind as I excited a sold-out theatre, almost 25 years to the day after witnessing my last Wrestlemania as a full-fledged professional wrestling fan (that is until the Attitude Era briefly rekindled my interest), having just seen Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Currently getting eviscerated by critics (30% on Rotten Tomatoes), Batman V Superman reminded me much of my Wrestlemania VI experience. Yes, it was messy. Yes, technical finesse and nuanced storytelling were eschewed in favor of loud, speaker-rattling, eyeball-engorging action scenes. But damn if I wasn't thoroughly entertained throughout the whole goddamn thing.
The plot is paradoxically convoluted yet wafer thin, and the logistics don't make a whole lot of sense, but really, who the fuck cares? It's Batman fighting Superman! And that isn't even the main event (more on that later). The whole thing is overstuffed and almost comically overblown. Watching it is akin to gorging yourself at a Chinese All-You-Can-Eat buffet. You know you're not doing your body any good as you hoover your umpteenth plate of sweet and sour ribs. And when you pay the check and get up to leave, you feel a trifle bloated and a little sick. But once the MSG and the food coma wears off (typically in half an hour), you wish you had gone back for just one more plate.
Batman V. Superman is not high art. Those looking for a nuanced take on the Caped Crusader should look elsewhere. Zack Snyder is a director that wouldn't know nuance if it rear-ended him on the freeway. It's multiplex, popcorn munching-fodder filled with lots of things that blow up real good. Each bombastic punch rendered operatically for maximum oomph. The work rate is low on this one, and you won't need to exercise many brain cells to enjoy it, but the entertainment factor is off the charts. This is one film that begs to be seen on the biggest screen you can find, hopefully alongside a loud cheering audience. Somehow, I don't think that Wrestlemania main event would have worked as well in an empty stadium rather than in front of nearly 70,000 rabid fans.
Time to address some of the elephants in the room, namely the participants and the first, of course, being Casey Affleck's big brother who was cast as the new Batman among much "controversy" (but then again, when is a casting decision for a comic book property ever not met with controversy?) Technically, Ben Affleck is the ninth actor to portray the Dark Knight on the Silver Screen. And he's good. His Batman is indebted to the Frank Miller version as presented in the seminal comic series "The Dark Knight Returns". This is a Batman that has been active in Gotham for 20 years, a stark contrast to the neophyte Batman we're introduced to in Nolan's Batman Begins. His Batman has seen too much and has suffered both physically and mentally for it. The Jason Todd/Robin death from "A Death in the Family" is alluded to, in a brief glimpse that will make comic readers go "a-ha!" while confusing the rest unfamiliar with their four-color Batman lore. This Batman works out of a dilapidated Wayne Manor along with his trusty butler/sidekick Alfred (Jeremy Irons). Baffleck is paranoid, brutal and none-too-bright. (Batman is meant to be the World's Greatest Detective, but did we ever really see Micheal Keaton or Christian Bale ever do much detecting?) Ben Affleck manages to portray the gravitas of a world-weary, broken down Bat with aplomb, and he looks damn good in the suit too.
The British born Henry Cavill ironically has the look that the American-as-Apple-Pie Superman requires. He's no Christopher Reeve, but as much as fandom lauds the late actor's portrayal of Superman/Clark Kent, the "Big Blue Boy Scout" version of Supes would be laughed off the screen in 2016. Cavill is somewhat of a cipher, and he has a peccadillo of continually making a face resembling someone who just surreptitiously emitted a fart each time he does something heroic, but he's counterbalanced nicely by a game Amy Adams as Lois Lane. The Oscar-nominated actress is given much more to do here than she was in this film's predecessor, 2013's Man of Steel.
Now on to Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. This is the performance that is going to divide most. This Luthor is a orphaned tech wunderkind of sorts. He has the knowledge, but he lacks the power (kind of the opposite of Kanye West), and it renders him insane. Eisenberg's performance is all sorts of Looney Tunes, but it's far from the worst portrayal of Lex on the big screen (that dishonor goes to Kevin Spacey's shockingly inert turn in 2006's woefully undercooked Superman Returns).
BATMAN V SUPERMAN
The titular big battle is suitably grandiose, but it's really the calm before the storm that is the film's real main event: Batman and Superman putting aside their differences (both philosophical and regional; there's gotta be a Metropolis/Gotham sports team rivalry in this film's world) and teaming with Wonder Woman to throw down with Doomsday – the Kryptonian superbeast that managed to kill Superman in the comics in the early 90's before his eventual "rebirth". The erstwhile enemies putting aside their differences to combat an even greater enemy is an overused trope, but I appreciate whatever it takes to finally bring Wondy to the multiplex. And Gal Gadot is a revelation. She radiates every time she's on screen, both as Diana Prince and her more super alter ego. This Wonder Woman is a badass through and through. The final battle is all her, and Gadot is everything Wonder Woman should be: strong, sexy, formidable and feisty. Frankly, in her brief bit of screen time, Gadot makes Cavill and Affleck both her bitch. And to that I say good…it's high time for a well-made, female-driven superhero movie, and this bodes very well for the solo Wonder Woman film, due out in 2017 and thankfully not directed by Sir Snyder.
Batman V Superman is just what it should be: a fun bit of escapism that, like flipping through the pages of your favorite stack of floppies as a child while lazing on the grass on a sunny Sunday afternoon, will allow two-and-a-half hours of your life to float on by effortlessly. If you don't think too much while watching and just allow yourself to get swept away in the extravaganza of it all, it will work for you too. I didn't think too much when the Hulkster had an already-winded-from-running-to-the-ring Ultimate Warrior in yet another resthold during their legendary encounter. I was too busy enjoying the spectacle. Perhaps we should save our thinking for life's real issues* and enjoy every bit of escapism we can get. Heaven knows we need it nowadays.

Michael Wilk says:
I'm going to have to disagree here. The storytelling here, or lack thereof, was so bad it rendered the movie unwatchable. At least Superman Returns, for all its flaws, tried to respect the continuity and spirit of the Christopher Reeve films and the comic book. This one looks and feels like some bit of cinematic garbage shat out by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin that neither knows or respects the source material, and doesn't care (see their 1998 Iguanasaurus Rex refuse that they tried to pass off as Godzilla, or better yet, don't and save yourself the waste of two hours).
njmckay says:
lol great review! I've yet to see it but your take on Wonder Woman alone may be the reason to go.
thedevilsdvdbin says:
For the time, that match was a five-star squared circle classic, which is surprising considering neither Hulk Hogan or the Ultimate Warrior were particularly good wrestlers.
It was a lot better workrate wise than either wrestler was expected to deliver but it was no Savage/Steamboat. 🙂 Still, the crowd was rabid and that made for an incredible experience!
Gotta disagree, buddy. Part of the problem is that the tone is so dour that it makes it near impossible to just kick back and enjoy the nuttiness. It also takes itself far too seriously for that. It invites you to scrutinize it, but instantly crumbles under that scrutiny. Wonder Woman is a bright spot, though. Definitely looking forward to her solo filck.
That's the great thing about cinema, though. It's subjective and we all have our own opinions. This was mine. I'm all for analyzing and scrutinizing subtext and the minutiae of every film, but with BvS, I promised to just let myself sit back and relax…and I enjoyed it. Now the next step is to see it again and see if it holds up on a second viewing now that the initial thrill is gone.

Austria to shift assault rifle Steyr production to Malaysia
in Army News
AFP, SUBANG, Malaysia: Top Austrian arms producer, Steyr Mannlicher, will shift production of its Steyr assault rifles and pistols to Malaysia, Defence Minister Najib Razak said Monday.
"Steyr Mannlicher will transfer fully the license to manufacture and export Steyr rifles and pistols in the global market to Malaysia," Najib said after opening a four-day international defence exhibition here.
Major international arms manufacturers from the United States, Britain, South Africa and France are showcasing their state-of-the-art equipment, from battle tanks to infantry gear.
Najib said the Steyr assault rifles and pistols could be promoted in the Middle East and Africa as the weapons were technically superior compared to other makers found in the region.
"Considering the size of the market, it could be potential revenue earner for the country," he said.
Najib announced that local defence firm National Aerospace Defence Industries (NADI) had concluded the deal with Steyr Mannlicher to manufacture Steyr rifles and pistols.
The joint venture firm, incorporated in March, would be known as Steyr Mannlicher (M) Sdn Bhd.
"With this development, Malaysia is now one of the leading manufacturers of military rifles and pistols in the world," he said as he launched the Steyr AUGA3 model.
The rifle has a grenade launcher and inbuilt attachments for various sighting systems. Arms experts say its main competitor is the Heckler and Koch G36 assault rifle.
Najib said with full manufacturing rights located in Malaysia, Malaysians would acquire the skills to develop the weapon system to a higher degree of technical sophistication.
Chee Eng Boon, chief executive officer of SME Aerospace Sdn Bhd, a unit owned by NADI, told reporters that the production of the Steyr AUGA3 rifle would begin by the end of the year.
SME has produced the earlier Steyr AUGA1 since 1992 under licence, he said.
Chee said Malaysia hoped to export the AUGA3 rifle to Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and Oman. "We hope to explore new markets and produce up to 15,000 units per year."
Christian Simku, Steyr Mannlicher manager, said Malaysia was picked to produce the Steyr rifles and pistols because it had a proven track record and the new weapon had potential.
"Australia and many Middle East countries are interested in the latest rifle," he said, adding that each weapon cost some 2,000 dollars.

Living with shoulder pain can be challenging. Let Hand Energetics™ help.
This easy-to-use protocol combines an Eastern approach with Western technology and can be used anytime, anywhere, to help relieve shoulder pain.


The measure of a great run is how you feel after completing it in the Strike Singlet. Endorphins? Check. Exhaustion? Maybe. Accomplishment and the desire to do it again tomorrow? Yeah, that's the goal. Stinky and chaffed? Wait a second…We feel the same way, and knowing a thing or two about odor prevention, we set out to make the most comfortable, breathable, best fitting singlet ever. The Strike Singlet incorporates our Icebreaker Cool-Lite™ fabric for cooling comfort in warm to hot conditions. We started by mixing our pure merino with TENCEL® to improve breathability and wicking, and Nylon and LYCRA® to maintain a snug, smooth fit. Then we bonded the seams and collar to further reduce bulk, and placed them where you won't feel them. We even made the entire back panel a breathable eyelet. So no matter how hard or far you run, or how much you sweat, your Strike Singlet won't weigh you down. So maybe we can't guarantee your elation, your exhaustion, or your feeling of accomplishment, but what we can guarantee is, you won't be chaffed, and your shirt won't be stinky. Ready to do it again tomorrow? Our Strike Singlet is.

The linguistic integration of adult migrants has been the subject of three intergovernmental conferences to date (2008, 2010 and 2014) which aimed at offering member states:
a platform that enables them to reflect together on policy and practice and share experience
opportunities for gaining an insight into resources developed by the Council of Europe to provide assistance for the development of coherent and effective policies as well as practical support for their implementation.
2018 Survey on Language Policies and Language Requirements for Migrants in the Member States.
The primary purpose of this survey, organised in cooperation with the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE), is to map the language requirements and knowledge of society (KoS) requirements for migrants in Council of Europe member states prior to entry, for residence and for citizenship with the aim of identifying trends in policies for the linguistic integration of migrants. A new feature in this survey is the particular attention dedicated to vulnerable groups, such as illiterate/low-literate migrants, women, unaccompanied minors, asylum seekers and refugees.
Following the analysis of the results, a subsequent report will be drafted; one of the aims will be to stimulate critical reflection as response to the Committee of Ministers Action Plan on Migrant and Refugee Children in Europe.

Die Nationale Fahrradroute 9 (Norwegen) ist eine von neun Radfernwegen in Norwegen. Die Route ist beschildert; sie wird auch Villmarksruta genannt.

Beschreibung
Die Nationale Fahrradroute 9 ist ca. 730 Kilometer lang. Die Strecke ist überaus waldreich und führt entlang vieler Seen sowie durch das Tal der Glomma, Norwegens längstem Fluss.

Die Nationale Fahrradroute 9 beginnt in Halden mit einem 111 Kilometer langen Abschnitt nach Norden entlang einer Seenkette bis Bjørkelangen. Die Seen sind durch den 150 Jahre alten Haldenkanal miteinander verbunden.

Nördlich von Bjørkelangen wechselt der Radweg über einen bewaldeten Höhenzug in ein östlich gelegenes Tal und erreicht 187 Kilometer nach dem Ausgangsort Halden die Stadt Kongsvinger an der Glomma. Die nächsten 180 Kilometer folgt der Radweg 9 der Glomma flussaufwärts nach Koppang.

Ab Koppang wird es bis zum Femundsee bergig und steil. Die Nationale Fahrradroute 9 verlässt in Koppang das Tal der Glomma und wechselt über einen gut Höhenzug zum See Storsjøen. Dann geht es 400 Höhenmeter mit einer Steigung von 8 % und in Spitzen von bis zu 12 % aufwärts zum Femundsee. Die Route verläuft weiter entlang der Westseite des Femundsees zur Fähranlegestelle Jonasvollen.
Ab Jonasvollen geht es mit einer Personenfähre zum nördlichen Ende des Femundsees und schließlich zur nahen Bergwerksstadt Røros. Der letzte Abschnitt von Røros bis Trondheim beträgt 200 Kilometer.

Illegal fishing is one of the most important factors affecting the status of global fisheries, and it is particularly critical in small-scale fisheries. The goal of the proposed project is to contribute to explore the extent of illegal fishing associated to the benthic artisanal fisheries of central Chile. The student will integrate a research team that will be collecting abundance and size data for the three most important benthic resources in the area: locos (Concholepas concholepas), keyhole limpets (a set of Fissurella species) and sea urchins (Loxechinus albus), at open access fishing areas and management areas (TURFs) using traditional direct and alternative (e.g. fishers knowledge, through interviews) assessment methods. This information will then be used to compare total instantaneous mortality between open access and management areas in the study region, for the three model species. The thesis will focus on one species (to be selected by the student and research team). The student will work at the marine laboratory "Estación Costera de Investigaciones Marinas", located at Las Cruces (El Tabo), Region of Valparaíso.

Церква святого архистратига Михаїла — парафія і храм греко-католицької громади Козівського деканату Тернопільсько-Зборівської архієпархії Української греко-католицької церкви в селі Вівся Тернопільського району Тернопільської області.

Історія парафії

Церкву святого архистратига Михаїла збудовано упродовж 1810—1870 рр. Церкву освятив о. Йосиф Макогонський. Іконостас оновлювався упродовж у 1995 році. Різьбяр і художник —Опришко. Фундатором була п. Талішевська зі США.

Парафію утворено у 1818 році. До 1946 року вона належала УГКЦ. У 1946 році парафія і храм перейшли в РПЦ. За о. Володимира Шуля 21 листопада 1994 року освятив наріжний камінь під будівництво нового храму владика Михаїл Колтун. Під керівництвом о. Івана Козлика у 1997 році силами парафіян розпочато будівництво нового храму.

На парафії діють: Вівтарна і Марійська дружини, спільнота «Матері в молитві». На території парафії є хрест на честь скасування панщини за часів Австро-Угорщини. У власності парафії є проборство.

Schenectady to start background checks on prospective hires | The Daily Gazette
Schenectady to start background checks on prospective hires
Could start in coming months
Brett Samuels
| September 7, 2017

SCHENECTADY — The city will likely begin conducting background checks on prospective hires soon, a policy that previously only applied to certain positions.
Some details were still being worked out, but the process would involve fingerprinting job candidates and running criminal background checks. The new policy comes after two city employees in recent months were found to have previously undisclosed criminal histories. Both have been fired.
"It's something that's been on our radar for a little while now, but yes, some of the issues that have come up this year have certainly pushed us to move on it," City Corporation Counsel Carl Falotico said.
The City Council must first pass legislation authorizing background checks using the fingerprint system. The measure, which passed out of committee this week, would likely be approved during next Monday's regular council meeting.
Once that's done, the city must work out some procedural details with the state before implementing the new policy, Falotico said.
The fingerprint system is the same one used by police departments to check criminal databases, Falotico said. He said he expects the new process will apply to all city employees, including seasonal workers, though specifics were still being established.
"This doesn't mean we're not going to hire anybody who's been convicted of a minor offense in their lives," Falotico said. "We're making sure people have fully disclosed everything on their employment application."
The background check also won't apply to everybody who applies for a job, Falotico said. It will generally be used for those to whom the city is ready to offer jobs.
The city already requires fingerprinting for certain positions, such as police officers, crossing guards and others who deal directly with children, Mayor Gary McCarthy said Monday night.
The cost of the background checks amounts to about $80 per candidate, officials said.
In March, former code inspector Kenneth Tyree was indicted in connection with a fatal 2015 Jay Street fire. In addition to manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide charges, Tyree is accused of lying on his job application in 2013 because he had two prior felony convictions, including one in December 1985 related to a phony check scheme and one in 1980 for burglarizing a Clifton Park home.
In July, a city Waste Department employee was fired after officials learned he was a registered sex offender.
Matthew Clark had worked as a garbage truck driver since May 2016. Officials became aware of his criminal history when he applied for an open city housing inspector job. Clark was convicted in March 2006 of forcibly touching a 15-year-old girl.
In both instances, officials said knowledge of the former employees' criminal histories likely would've changed their decision to hire them.

David Alexis Wiki-Bio: Facts about Madchen Amick husband.
Recently, celebrities staying in the marriage is the talk of media houses than celebrities getting married. For couples with a non-famous partner, this is somehow harder owing to the fact that they might be separated for work-related reasons. It is therefore important to try and handle the distance by doing things like synchronizing their schedules to allow for them to meet. David Alexis sure seems to have played his cards right with his marriage to the beautiful Madchen Amick.
David Alexis and Madchen Amick have been married since 1992.
Hollywood celebrities live most of their life in the limelight with most of their personal information under public scrutiny. David Alexis and Madchen Amick are no exception to this.
David Alexis and Madchen Amick are the proud parents of two loving and much-talented son and daughter. Their son Sylvester Time was a blessing and born in the same year they got married. He was born on 5th July 1992. He is also a talented singer and is in the entertainment business.
Similarly, they had a daughter named Mina Tobias born on the 2nd September 1993. The 24-year-old was born in Los Angeles County, United States. She also follows her family line of work and is a talented artist. She is famous for her pop songs like Kings and Queens and The sound both released in 2016 and another titled Like you in 2015.
Its commonly said that behind every successful man is a woman. In David's case, however, it seemed to be the exact opposite. Not that he isn't successful as well, but his wife seems to overshadow him when it comes to show business.
David Alexis Age. Also, See Madchen Amick Net Worth.
Being the husband of someone as successful as Madchen, David's life is pretty much unknown to many. His career as a songwriter and the income it generates is still under review as of 2018. He has been working for as long as over 2 decades now.
It's worth mentioning that Madchen earns an annual salary of $352,941. Madchen Amick net worth is currently $3 million. David Alexis, Madchen Amick's Husband is a loving family man and even had to switch careers when the children became interested in football and track. He now supports them as they embark on their journey to become successful artists.
Madchen Amick's Husband David's family is off the radar, and currently, the only family known is his father and mother in law Bill and Judy Amick. They are the parents of Madchen born on 12 December 1970. The actress is currently 48 years old.

Home > North America > Canada > U.S. Visa Interviews Waived for Certain Nonimmigrant Visas until December 31, 2022
U.S. Visa Interviews Waived for Certain Nonimmigrant Visas until December 31, 2022
By Andrea Vaitzner on February 15, 2022 Posted in Canada, Québec, United States
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in profound reductions in the U.S. Department of State's (DOS) visa processing capacity. Consequently, the DOS in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on December 31, 2021 that consular officers had been granted the discretionary power to temporarily waive in-person interview requirements for certain nonimmigrant visas until December 31, 2022
New Authorization for H-1, H-3, H-4, L, O, P and Q visas
This new authorization applies to temporary workers applying for H-1, H-3, H-4, L, O, P and Q visas who:
have a petition approved by U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS);
apply for a visa in their country of nationality or residence;
have been previously issued any type of visa;
have never been refused a visa, unless the refusal was reversed or waived; and
have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility.
The waiver is also available to first time visa applicants who are citizens of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), provided they have previously visited the U.S. via Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA).
Extended Authorisation for F, M, and academic J visa
Similarly, the DOS extended a previous policy to waive visa interviews requirements for students, professors, research scholars, short-term scholars or specialists (F, M, and academic J visa applicants) until the end of 2022. This extended authorization applies to applicants who:
have been previously issued any type of visa ;
First-time applicants for F, M, and academic J visa who are citizens or nationals of a VWP country are eligible for the interview waiver provided they have previously traveled to the United States via ESTA authorization and have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility.
Extended Authorisation for H-2 visa
The previous authority allowing for the waiver of interviews of certain H-2 (temporary agricultural and non-agricultural workers) applicants has also been extended through the end of 2022.
Visa Renewals
Applicants renewing any visa within 48 months of expiration are also eligible for interview waiver.
It is important to note that U.S. Embassies and consulates may still require an in-person interview on a case-by-case basis and dependent upon local conditions. Consular resources and local government restrictions vary widely, and each consular section will continuously review its capacity to adjudicate visa applications during the pandemic and address its priorities.
How does this announcement affect Canadians?
Canadian citizens do not need to apply for visas to work in the United States, and therefore this announcement does not affect them directly. However, permanent residents of Canada and temporary foreign workers currently working in Canada, who have applied or plan to apply for any of the above-mentioned visas may have their in-person interview waived, resulting in faster issuance of their visas and permitting them to enter the U.S. sooner than otherwise would have been possible.

CARICOM heads to discuss possibility of forming one regional airline
The possibility of the formation of one regional airline will be one of the issues to be discussed when CARICOM Heads of Government meet here from May 27 for a two-day meeting on air transportation.{{more}}
Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves said on Monday that there are a number of issues to be discussed.
"I hope everything goes well for this to come off," he said.
"As you know I am always amused that there are people supposed to be concerned about public policy who don't look beyond the headlines," Gonsalves added.
According to the Prime Minister, about five or six years ago, then Trinidadian Prime Minister Patrick Manning dissolved BWIA and formed Caribbean Airlines (CAL) and paid off all the airline's debts.
But the new airline racked up losses of US$44 million and $84 million in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
"Now, you can be rich and have plenty oil, but that is a lot of money in any language and there is re-thinking of certain things and the call has been made by many persons for one Caribbean airline," he explained.
"We have no problem with that, but we will have to see the fine print, because I am very mindful before BWIA was dissolved, BWIA took decisions where they simply cut out a lot of flights without notice to Barbados, which affected us in the Eastern Caribbean and I see on more than one occasion when they have acted not consistent with our transportation needs," the Prime Minister reasoned.
Gonsalves said that he had no intention of leaving "the bone of LIAT for the shadow of something else", although he said that he would like to see a revamping of air transportation in the region. (DD)

Traveling Solo
Solo Senior Travelers makes journeys a group effort
By Nancy Cardillo
Solo Travelers Club members (from left): Deb Rouviere of Syracuse, Karen Sheldon and Sherry Gillis, both from Rochester, posed for this photo after enjoying a winery tour and lunch in Skaneateles.
Patricia Caputo has always loved to travel. But when her husband died in 2004, she thought her traveling days were over, or at least would be severely curtailed.
"I have friends with whom I could travel, but we didn't always have common interests," Caputo said. "Some don't like cruises and some didn't want to go to certain places, and so it became more difficult to find travel partners."
Not wanting to give up her love for traveling, Caputo decided to try it solo. Her first group trip as a solo traveler was one of cookbook author and restaurateur Lidia Bastianich's cooking excursions to Italy.
"My kids thought I was nuts going that far away without a travel partner, but I had a great time and met so many wonderful people. I was hooked on solo travel after that," Caputo said.
Then she discovered AAA of Western and Central New York's Solo Travelers Club, and she hasn't looked back since. The 81-year-old retired nurse has taken cruises, motor coach trips and day trips and looks forward to every adventure.
"I can't wait for the New Year's Eve trip to Saratoga with the club," Caputo said. "I missed it last year because of illness and it looked like so much fun."
The Solo Travelers Club began as an experiment with the AAA of Western and Central New York, which covers the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse areas. Solo Travelers Club program manager Sue Smith would connect single ladies traveling alone on her group tours to make the trips more enjoyable for all of them.
The ladies were so appreciative they suggested AAA set up a group geared specifically toward matching single travelers.
"We started with a group meeting in Syracuse in 2010. It attracted nearly 50 people, so we held meetings in Rochester and Syracuse the following week. From there, membership grew rapidly, and today we have more than 5,000 members," Smith said. "Solo Travelers Club members can book any of our trips — which we call 'solo friendly' — and we'll make sure they sit together on the coach and at meals. We also have at least six solo exclusive trips that adds to the camaraderie."
The solo club offers a roommate connection board. However, many members who love spending their traveling and meal times with others prefer their own rooms.
Appeals to older set
Smith said approximately 90 percent of the Solo Travelers Club members are aged 55 or older, but notes that "any single traveler is welcome to join" and there are travelers in their 40s. There are men and women, widows and widowers, never- marrieds and even married people whose spouses don't like to travel, or can't.
"It's a very diverse, very wonderful group," smith said. "We always have such a good time on the trips. Everyone watches out for each other, and many long-term friendships have blossomed thanks to the Solo Travelers Club." She adds that several romances have also come about thanks to the club.
The Solo Travelers Club rewards program offers many benefits to its members, including travel discounts and rewards and exclusive invitations to events and trips. Members are invited to four meetings a year plus several social events where they can get to know each other, offer their input and maintain friendships.
Trips include cruises: close-to-home cruises where travelers are brought to the cruise ship by motor coach rather than airplane; river cruises, day trips and even mystery trips, which typically sell out within days of being advertised.
"We've gone all over, near and far, on our trips," Smith said. "There's always a trained tour director on the trip, and we make sure our travelers know the level of activity scheduled for the trip, so they know whether they are physically able to manage. Safety, comfort and enjoyment are our priorities, as well as affordability."
As for Smith, she says she loves everything about the Solo Travelers Club. AAA makes it easy and affordable to sign up for trips, and takes good care of travelers, ensuring they are safe and having an enjoyable time.
"If we're traveling by motor coach, Sue always makes sure there are snacks and water available, and does a great job educating us about the place we're going to visit. It's really nice," Caputo said.
Plus, Caputo says she's made great friends in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, and travels with them on a regular basis.
"The Solo Travelers Club is an excellent way to travel," Caputo said. "It's an absolutely phenomenal group, and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves to travel but has no one to travel with. After one trip with Solo Travelers, you'll have plenty of new friends."
It's easy to understand, then, why the tagline for the Solo Travelers Club is "travel with friends."

Solo Travel Savings Tips
By Jim Miller
Solo traveling is a growing trend among baby boomers and retirees. Nearly 25 percent of the people who travel today (one in four), do it alone, according to a recent Visa Global Intentions Study. But one of the biggest drawbacks among solo travelers is the single supplemental fee — which is an extra fee charged to single travelers who stay in a double occupancy room alone.
To help you avoid this extra charge, more and more travel companies and cruise lines are making adjustments to accommodate the growing solo-traveler market. Here are several to check into.
• Singles Travel — There are a variety of travel companies today that specialize in vacations for solo travelers, including Singles Travel International (SinglesTravelIntl.com) and Singles Travel Getaways (SinglesTravelGetaways.com). Both companies offer tours, cruises and adventures in the U.S. and overseas, and will match you with a roommate to avoid the single supplement, or won't charge you if a match can't be arranged.
• General Tour Operators — Some big operators in this category that have lots of solo travelers include Intrepid Travel (IntrepidTravel.com), which handles more than 100,000 travelers each year, sending them to more than 100 countries. And G Adventures (Gadventures.com), which has more than 700 tours around the globe, and offers a variety of travel styles. Both of these companies can pair you with a roommate, and some tours offer your own room option for an additional fee.
And for higher-end luxury travel check out Abercrombie & Kent (AbercrombieKent.com), which offers a 50 percent single supplement discount on their select small group solo travel trips and cruises, and Tauck (Tauck.com), which has no single supplement on their European river cruises.
• 50-Plus Travel — If you're interested in trips designed for adults 50 and older consider ElderTreks (ElderTreks.com), Road Scholar (RoadScholar.org) and Overseas Adventure Travel (OATtravel.com).
– ElderTreks specializes in exotic adventures worldwide, and will match single travelers with roommates on most of its trips, and doesn't charge if a match can't be arranged.
– Road Scholar specializes in worldwide learning adventures, and has designated trips that offer the same price for solo travelers as for those traveling in pairs.
– Overseas Adventure Travel, which operates in Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, the Middle East, Cuba, Australia and New Zealand, has free single supplements on all its land tours and either free or low-cost single supplements on its small-ship adventures.
• Cruise Lines — If cruising is your thing, there are a number of cruise lines that have some ships with single-occupancy cabins, including Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL.com), Royal Caribbean (RoyalCaribbean.com) and Vantage Deluxe World Travel's river ships (VantageTravel.com).
Or, consider booking a cruise at SinglesCruise.com, which uses a variety of different cruise lines for their single customers. They provide roommate matching.
• Solo Women — For solo women travelers, there are a host of tour companies and clubs, like GutsyWomenTravel.com, Women-Traveling.com, SerenDipityTraveler.com, TheWomensTravelGroup.com and Womens-Travel-Club.com that will either match you up with a roommate, or reduce their single supplement fee.
• Travel Partner — If you'd rather find a suitable travel partner before you book your next trip, there are a number of free websites that can help you here too. See Travbuddy.com, TravelFriend.us and TravelersMeeting.com. Or, to find a cruise buddy try CruiseMates.com, which has a message board where users can post roommate requests.

Trip'n Day 3: The Streets of São Paulo
by Jones and B Staff
São Paulo is already the most populous and congested city in Brazil, but the on-coming of the World Cup has taken that to new levels. Between the partying, the government protests and the traffic the streets feel swelled like a balloon about to burst. With that in mind, we became very well acquainted with the streets of São Paulo.
The day started at the Fifa Fan Fest for Brazil's opening match. Every time Brazil plays the country shuts down like it's a holiday. People were dressed up, painted and even had their babies ready for the occassion. It was amazing. This one family begged me, as an American to take a picture with their kid. I mean the kid did have a sick mohawk.
On our second evening we followed more than 100,000 people to Vila Madelena to party. The streets in Vila Madelena are shutdown with bars on either side, and little carts lining the center of the streets making mixed drinks and serving cerveja (beer). Like true Americans, we found a bar to watch the NBA Finals, and met up with some heat fans who were finishing their study abroad programs. As the heat squandered away their chances at a title, we squandered away our dignity on shots of Vodka and caiprioskas. You always remember you're not 21 again, the moment you start drinking with 21 year olds… that is for sure. We followed the youngeons to a local late night club, D-Edge, but after 36 hours of traveling and 24 hours of drinking, the night felt like it needed to end. One by one members of our group decided to head back to their various hotels to sleep. The problem? No one could figure out how to get home. For more than 3 hours the streets of São Paulo kept us from our beds. It was quite funny to see everyone arriving home at about the same time, even though we all had left the club at different times. Unfortunately, even sober the streets of São Paulo would win again.
The next morning we were to head to Curitiba. Myself and Drea were taking a short 1 hour flight, while the boys (Ollie, Snowy and Phil) were to rent a car and drive the 350miles south to Curitiba. The lads had heard rumors from locals about the problems of trying to drive, but were undeterred. That is, until they actually got into the car. 4 hours after getting their rental car, the lads were still stuck in gridlock'd traffic in the center of São Paulo. The traffic was so bad, and the roads so confusing, that it took more than 11 hours to make the 350 mile trip to Curitiba. Meanwhile, my flight took less than an hour. Before the boys had even gotten out of the center of São Paulo, I was comfortably in Curitiba, enjoying some bisteca, a Brahma, and the Spain vs. Holland football match.
Tomorrow I'm off to explore Curitiba, but the moral of the story is simple. When in Brazil, the streets are for drinking not for traveling, so whenever possible fly from city to city.

Purdue Polytechnic Institute Origins
An Evolution of Technology Education at Purdue
Many administrative decisions and societal events have brought the Purdue Polytechnic Institute to its present form. Although the college was not formally organized until 1964 as the School of Technology, the concept of technology education at Purdue has existed since the late 1870s. Under the leadership of Purdue's third president, Emerson E. White (1876-1883), the University further emphasized program offerings on mechanical arts and sciences in accordance with the statutes of the Morrill Act set forth by the U.S. Congress in 1862.
Purdue Polytechnic's early roots grew from Purdue disciplines focused on applied learning and engineering principles. And the school's initial composition stems from three major beginnings at Purdue: the Department of Practical Mechanics, the Technical Institute, and the Department of Industrial Education.
Practical Mechanics/Department of Technical and Applied Arts
The Department of Practical Mechanics was established in 1879, and W.F.M. Goss was hired as its department head. By 1882, practical mechanics evolved into a full curriculum in mechanical engineering. By 1890, Purdue engineering grew to include three schools: mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering. Goss then became the first dean of the Purdue Schools of Engineering, and faculty member Michael Golden succeeded Goss as head of practical mechanics.
Practical mechanics peaked in 1910 when a new facility, named after Golden, was built to house the department. It remained strong throughout the 1920s and 1930s and was absorbed into a new general engineering department in 1938. The program was administered within the School of Industrial Engineering and Management; housed within the School of Industrial Engineering following a separation of management and industrial engineering; and then given its own status as the Department of Technical and Applied Arts.
Technical Institute/Department of Applied Technology
During World War II, Purdue coordinated the federal government's Engineering Science Management program (ESMWT) under the direction of Professor C.W. Beese. Building on programs on the West Lafayette campus, Beese established centers in all major cities in northern Indiana. In 1943, the Division of Technical extension became a formalized administrative unit of the University. During that same year, the Board of Trustees created the Technical Institute and arranged for the awarding of the associate technical aide diploma for completion of a two-year curriculum.
After funding ceased for ESMWT following World War II, the "technical extension" collapsed, except for four locations: Indianapolis, Hammond, Fort Wayne, and Michigan City. This established the University's regional campus system. In 1958, Technical Extension was renamed University Extension Council; later that same year, a Department of Applied Technology was created within the division. Departments included aviation technology, nursing, general and applied studies, electrical engineering technology, architectural and civil engineering technology, and industrial and mechanical engineering technology.
By 1961, the Department of Applied Technology included eight two-year technology programs. And instead of the previously awarded diploma in applied technology, students earned associate degrees. The technology programs thrived on the regional campuses. In 1963, the institute took on the administration of a two-year nursing program in the midst of a shortage of registered nurses in Indiana. The regional campuses were the venue to bring the program to other areas of the state. The Department of Nursing developed into an independent School of Nursing in 1979.
The Grinter Report
In 1955, the Report on Evaluation of Engineering Education concluded that scientifically oriented engineering curricula are essential to prepare engineers who will face new and difficult engineering situations with imagination and competence. Named after lead author Linton Grinter, a University of Florida engineering professor and chair of the American Society for Engineering Education, the Grinter report advocated that engineering programs provide each undergraduate student a choice of either a scientific or a more pragmatic orientation of their program in engineering. Most engineering programs, however, were unable to agree with the bifurcation of their programs as advocated by the report. Purdue University would later prove to be a notable exception.
On July 1, 1963, a proposal was presented for a new undergraduate school that would centralize the University's applied learning programs into one administrative/academic unit: the School of Technology. The school would be comprised of the Division of Applied Technology departments, the Department of Industrial Education, and the Department of Technical and Applied Arts from the School of Industrial Engineering. On February 15, 1964, the Board of Trustees affirmed the proposal to create the School of Technology, Purdue's ninth school, on July 1, 1964. The school was renamed College of Technology in January 2005.
The College of Technology's reach expanded from West Lafayette into nine additional Indiana communities: Anderson, Columbus, Indianapolis, Kokomo, Lafayette, New Albany, Richmond, South Bend, and Vincennes. Each location represents a unique partnership between Purdue University, local communities, and area businesses. The statewide locations are direct extensions of the college's West Lafayette programs.
Recognizing that dramatic change is needed in higher education — and, in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, particularly — to better serve the needs of business and industry, the College of Technology was officially renamed the Purdue Polytechnic Institute in May 2015. The new name signifies a major transformation which is impacting curricula, learning and teaching methods, learning spaces, how students are assessed, use-inspired research, and industry and community engagement. We are designing a learning experience which will produce graduates who not only have deep technical knowledge, applied skills, and relevant experiences in their chosen discipline but also problem solving, critical thinking, innovation, and communication skills sought by industries and communities.

Charles H. Lawshe 1964 to 1966
George W. McNelly 1966 to 1987
Don K. Gentry 1987 to 2001

Thanks for reading my article on the perils of opening an Assisted Living home. I hope you found it useful. So now that you know a little about me, I'd like to know a little bit about you.
Specifically, are you a business owner, entrepreneur, or marketing decision maker? If so, you might be interested in a special offer I have for you... Read on for full details.
Good News! You're eligible for a discounted 30-minute marketing consultation.
I call it the "Tell Me Your Biggest Problem" consult because that's what clients would tell me in the early days. Trouble was, they didn't stick to just ONE problem. They jumped all over the place — rapid fire — listing problem after problem.
The fault was all mine of course. "Big Problem" sounds like many problems. And the truth is, copy and marketing problems are usually interrelated. So to fix that, I've designed a system to ensure the discussion about your big problem is tight and focused. When you sign up for your no-obligation consultation, I'll email you a short questionnaire (within 48 hours). Once it's completed, I'll have a better feel for your situation. If I can help you, we'll schedule your consult, knowing it'll be productive and efficient.
This consultation is ideal if you're CLOSE to deciding on your next project or need to tweak an existing one. I specialize in writing copy, critiquing copy, and designing marketing plans. Before contacting me, I ask that you finish your primary research, have ready answers for standard questions, and a reasonably firm budget for the project.
So go ahead and fill out the form below. In the comments section, include a few key points about your project.
Again, this is a NO-OBLIGATION consult. Only $19.95 — 60% less than my hourly rate.

Lamborghini Cabrera Spy Photos
A successor to the Lamborghini Gallardo is under development, and these spy photos of the heavily-camouflaged supercar undergoing testing are, well, a bit exciting.
The Cabrera, as the Italian exotic will be known, will serve as Lamborghini's entry-level model. From the photos, we see a design direction that appears to combine elements from the Aventador, Sesto Elemento and Gallardo. But its the rear end, with its wraparound taillights, that sticks out. In fact, AutoBild.de may have done a good job at capturing the overall shape of the supercar in the renders featured below.
The Cabrera is expected to weigh less than 3,306 lbs (1,500 kg) and will likely be powered by a new naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine pumping out around 600 horsepower and 400 lb-ft (541 Nm) of torque.

New, 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Costs More Than Camaro ZL1
The Blue Oval's high-octane muscle car is priced to matched its performance.
Ford has announced pricing details for the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the most powerful street-legal Ford ever.
With a starting price of $73,995, the latest Mustang Shelby GT500 is priced higher than the Chevy Camaro ZL1 ($64,695) and Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye ($73,440). It is also $12,460 more expensive than the less powerful sibling, the Shelby GT350.
Adding the Carbon Fiber Track package increases the price to $90,000 but adds carbon fiber wheels covered in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 track tires, a carbon fiber wing and dive planes. The package eliminates the rear seats to cut weight.
The optional $1,500 handling package gets you adjustable strut top mounts, a Gurney flap and removable splitter end plates, while the $3,000 technology package comes with a better audio system, a navigation system, rain-sensing wipers, a blind-spot monitor, and puddle lamps.
Engineers went the extra mile to make the new Mustang Shelby GT500 a capable everyday driver and not just a track-carving monster, but shouldn't underscore the massive supercharged 5.2L V8 breathing under its hoods. Billed as the world's most power-dense supercharged production V8, the powerplant produces 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft. of torque, sent to the rear wheels by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
If you could only choose only one, which would it be — 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 or the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye? Let us know in the comments below.
Is The Chevrolet Camaro Going To Die Again?
Was Chevy's muscle car revived only to die again?
The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro may be the last Camaro, at least for the foreseeable future.
According to Muscle Cars and Trucks, General Motors has stopped work on the seventh generation Camaro and has no plan to take the Camaro nameplate beyond the 2023 model year.
The sixth-gen Camaro is based on the same Alpha platform that underpins the Cadillac ATS sedan and coupe. However, while the ATS' successor (the new CT4) uses the next generation Alpha platform, there are no plans for the Camaro to make the same transition.
Sales of the Camaro have declined significantly over the past few years, which is unfortunate considering how good of a sports car it is. The fifth generation Camaro took off after debuting in 2009, selling over 80,000 Camaros every year. But despite getting rave reviews from critics, the sixth-gen saw its sales drop to 51,000 units in 2018, which was a whopping 25 percent decline from the prior year.
Supposing the report is true, this won't be the first time the Camaro has gone on hiatus. There was a seven-year gap between the fourth- and fifth-generation models.
New, 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Officially Makes 760HP
This Mustang has the world's most power-dense supercharged production V8.
We already knew the new, 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 would be the most powerful street-legal Ford ever, but we didn't know precisely how much power drivers would have to play with. Until now, that is…
Ford has announced that the GT500's 5.2-liter supercharged V8 — paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox that spinsthe rear wheels — produces 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft. of torque, making it the "most power- and torque-dense supercharged production V8 engine in the world."
The high-octane Mustang is more powerful than the 650-hp Chevy Camaro ZL1, but it falls short of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye's 797-hp 6.2L V8. It can complete the quarter-mile run in under 11 seconds and reach a top speed of 180 miles per hour (289.6 kilometers per hour).
In addition to the powerful, Ford's engineers applied a revised front fascia that improves the drivetrain cooling capacity by 50 percent, an optional Carbon Fiber Track Package featuring a much larger rear wing that makes 500 pounds (227 kilograms) of downforce at 180 mph, carbon fiber wheels, and nicely-bolstered Recaro seats.
The 2020 Shelby GT500 goes on sale in summer 2019. Do you want one?

Road work pressure
Published:Monday | July 22, 2019 | 12:20 AM
Gladstone Taylor
Prime Minister Andrew Holness in dialogue with E.G. Hunter (left), chief executive officer of the National Works Agency, and Varden Downer (centre), acting deputy director of project implementation, at the overhead bridge in Three Miles, one of five locations visited by the prime minister yesterday.
Work on the major road projects will have to go into overdrive in the capital city as Prime Minister Andrew Holness yesterday demanded that the works be finished before the start of the new school term in September.
Holness toured the Constant Spring Road, Manor Park, Hagley Park, and Three Miles sites yesterday, where he observed the incomplete work.
As he walked the dusty dirt road in the Manor Park area, a woman protruding through the window of a bus shouted, "Make sure we get the road fi September morning!"
An animated Holness turned to E.G. Hunter, the chief executive officer of the National Works Agency, who was on the tour with him, and said, "See, see! Di people dem want the road for September", pressing home the need for the works to be completed.
The prime minister also managed to greet residents who had major concerns about the dust nuisance.
The works have been under way since late 2018.
"I think this is a major investment and it is worth it. The challenge now is to complete it. We have missed at least two deadlines, and I am saying that we cannot move past September the first," Holness said in the presence of Hunter and high-ranking officials from the China Habour Engineering Company.
Hunter told the prime minister that a major reason for the hold-up were the delays in settling land acquisition for the properties, including the Constant Spring Market.
A senior engineer working on the project, who did not want to be identified, expressed confidence that the major work would meet the September 1 deadline.
"I believe we will make it. It is a tough ask because none of these works have been easy, but I think we will have something in place, and we won't have the nightmare that we had when we just started," he told The Gleaner.
The prime minister noted that he had heard the complaints from motorists and pedestrians who use the roadway but stressed that there was a long-term benefit to flow from the new infrastructure.
Already, the prime minister said, requests are being made for major developments to take place along the Constant Spring Road and Manor Park corridor. He said that property values have increased and the foundation was being laid for residents living along the corridor to get full access to government services.
