Statement Regarding the Dissolution of the Maine Fraud Prevention Alliance
For eight years, the Maine Fraud Prevention Alliance (MFPA) has been committed to educating and protecting the public against fraud. This mission has been especially critical in Maine – a state with an aging and vulnerable population.
Spearheaded by the leadership of Saco & Biddeford Savings, the Alliance created the DASH Fraud program, a simple yet effective approach for individuals to implement preventative measures to defend themselves from scams and fraudulent activity.
To date, the Alliance has grown to 20 member organizations, and the DASH Fraud method has assisted countless Mainers in providing a first line of defense against criminals.
But leading the Alliance has also been challenging. Fraud is constantly evolving – and the bank's role of developing new content with relevant, up-to-date information for consumers has been difficult to maintain.
With this in mind, Saco & Biddeford Savings has made the difficult decision to step aside from its leadership role and discontinue the MFPA, effective September 1, 2020.
I would like to thank each Alliance member organization for their commitment and solidarity in working to mitigate fraud in our communities across the state. While the Alliance will no longer remain active, Saco & Biddeford Savings continues to stand against fraud and supports prevention and awareness efforts. Despite the Alliance's work, fraud remains a consistent threat – and awareness, education and prevention endure as the best remedies. That will never change.
If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding this decision, please contact our Community Relations Coordinator, Amanda Lutz, via email.

U.S. Airman Laid to Rest in Iowa 73 Years After Death
Posted 6:42 pm, July 3, 2017, by Staff Writer
PRIMGHAR, Iowa -- After 73 years, an American hero can now rest easy in his hometown in northwest Iowa.
KTIV's Ashly Richardson visited Primghar, Iowa, where Staff Sergeant Byron Nelson's remains have been laid to rest.
"My grandfather not only died in this plane, but he was a hero. He really was. It's easy to say that, 'oh, he's a hero," says Sgt. Nelson's grandson Ron Reifenstahl.
Sgt. Nelson's plane was gunned down by the Germans in 1944 while his unit was carrying out a bombing mission in Italy.
"A big mortar came through the front and probably clipped off of him and it actually hit another guy, it knocked him unconscious in the aircraft. The other gunner was already dead, so he was already going down. My grandfather was probably hit pretty hard, and what he did was he actually went back to the other guy that was knocked out, put a parachute on him, and threw him out of the plane," says Reifenstahl.
Sgt. Nelson gave the ultimate sacrifice for the country, and over seven decades later the military was finally able to identify his remains. New DNA technology confirmed the remains in Italy were his, and he is now able to rest peacefully in his hometown.
"It's actually an incredible honor. The United States is not going to rest until every missing in action solider or service member is accounted for, so it's a great honor for me to be part of the welcoming home of staff Sgt. Nelson" says Greg Mosser with the United States Army Reserve.
The Primghar community came together to see Sgt. Nelson at his final resting place.
"And when you see the number of community members that came out to honor this individual, Staff Sgt. Nelson, it's incredible," says Mosser. "It really gives me a great feeling inside because we do this all the time in the Army, serve the country, a lot of patriotic feelings, but to see the number of the public that came out to celebrate his coming home is really heartwarming."

Faith, Empire & Sexuality
A big win in the region this week for Culture and the Arts. Jas Sansi looks at three exhibitions currently running at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.
The Midlands enjoyed positive national news coverage this week. Coventry will be the UK City of Culture 2021. Congratulations to all those involved in the process.
Coventry is one of four cities in the West Midlands Combined Authority, the others being Birmingham, Lichfield and Wolverhampton. It's important the full potential of each of these cities is leveraged to benefit the entire region.
Coventry as City of Culture 2021 and Birmingham hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2022 (scheduled to be confirmed this week) is exactly the leverage we need, to build on our success. As a region we have a lot to be proud of.
If a week is a long time in Politics, then three years until 2021 is a custodial sentence. No need to start counting bricks just yet, there is a mesmerising trio of exhibitions currently running at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery; Finding Faith, The Past is Now and Coming Out.
Finding Faith is a journey through the world's major religions. There are objects and artefacts, icons and symbols which bring to life many of the faiths represented in Birmingham.
The Sultanganj Buddha (above) was buried in India for 500 years for its protection. Find out how it was discovered and how it found a home in Brum.
As a Sikh, I was fascinated by this coin (above) from The Golden Temple in Amritsar. Pressed in 1898, the coin depicts the founder of the Sikh faith, Guru Nanak Dev Ji with two companions, one a Muslim, the other Hindu.
The Golden Temple has four entrances, one on each side illustrating it welcomes people of all faiths and those of no faith from all parts of the world.
The image above illustrates a detail from a stained glass exhibit. I learned this week, the stained glass in Birmingham Cathedral was removed during World War 2 and stored in a Welsh mine to protect it from German bombers. It was safely return and reinstalled after the war ended.
The Past is Now; Birmingham and the British Empire offers a new perspective of the thorny subject of colonialism.
One of the first sculptures you see when entering the gallery is Sir Jacob Epstein's depiction of Satan. The artist is also responsible for the bronze head of Rabindranath Tagore. The Indian writer was the first non-European to be awarded the Nobel prize. Rabindranath Tagore was the first to describe Gandhi as 'Mahatma' meaning 'Great Soul.'
There is a wall for visitor comments. The words above illustrate the complexities of political decisions that impact people in different ways. I had to Google the word 'abrogated', its means 'to repeal or do away with a law, right or formal agreement.'
The third exhibition is 'Coming Out.' This celebrates the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Sexual Offences Act 1967. The ruling partially decriminalised sex between men, in private, in England and Wales. It was a significant step forward in the ongoing campaign for equality for gay men and the broader LGBT+ community.
The exhibition had a two part launch beginning at Birmingham New Street Station before moving over to its home in the gallery's Gas Hall.
The painting above by David Hockney was painted in 1966 and won the John Moores Painting Prize in 1967 the same year the Sexual Offences Act was passed.
Coming Out was officially opened by Birmingham born Joe Lycett with the performance artists who made the launch one of the most striking seen in the city.
The Edwardian Tearooms will keep you hydrated should you choose to visit all three exhibitions on the same day. It's a day you will remember forever.

The Goldstream Powerhouse  is a decommissioned  hydroelectric plant located near Goldstream Provincial Park in Langford, near Victoria, British Columbia. This plant provided electricity to Victoria for 60 years and is one of the little-known and ingenious chapters in the history of Victoria. This plant was one of the first hydro plants of this type on the west coast of North America. The structure is over a century old and is unsafe to inhabit. It is within the boundaries of the watershed lands owned by the CRD and is inaccessible to the public due to its proximity to a drinking water reservoir.

Overview

In 1897, Esquimalt Waterworks Company (EWWC) and British Columbia Electric Railway (BCER) came to an agreement to generate power by using the water from the high elevation reservoirs to generate electricity. The water would be run through Pelton waterwheels, where the water would then flow into the Japan Gulch Reservoir and subsequently be used for domestic purposes. The plant was expanded in 1898 and again in 1905, each time adding another turbine.

The Goldstream Plant was staffed by full time operators, who recorded in their journals the daily activities, comings and goings, and events.  A day excursion on the E & N Railway to the Powerhouse was a popular event in the early years of operation.  Other entries tell of hobos riding the rails and spending the night at Goldstream.  Located along the Cowichan Waggon (sic) Road, the powerhouse meant a long walk for the residents of the Lubbe House, (located only a short distance from the powerhouse, and associated with its early history),  whose children reportedly used to walk to town and back.

The Jordan River Hydroelectric Dam came online in 1912 and dwarfed the Lubbe plant. Turbines one and two were taken offline and the plant continued to operate until 1957 as a 1500 KW facility. Rumours tell that the plant was torn down but the building in fact still exists to this day.

Construction

The heavy equipment and supplies for the powerhouse were shipped in on the E&N Railway, not far from the construction site. Following the offloading of equipment, the components were hauled up the road with manual labour using horses and block and tackle.

Power generation

Before the plant, the only source of electricity was a coal fired power plant located in Rock Bay. The electricity from this plant provided power to the city's streetcars of the day, as per an agreement with the BCER.

The plant fed upon water sourced from the Cabin Pond Reservoir located  above the powerhouse. From there, it was transported down a , , riveted steel pipeline to the powerhouse with an immense pressure of .

Plant schematics

The building's dimensions are  x  x  and contains three rooms. The first room contained the generators, while another housed the Pelton waterwheels, and the third, the transformers. Following the closure of the plant, the equipment was scavenged and was sold in the basement of the Capital Iron store, located in Victoria, and was lost to history. All that remains is the structure itself and a British Columbia Electric Railway sign, which cannot be safely removed.

Turbines

The plant began with two Pelton waterwheels, likely manufactured in San Francisco. Additions were made later on as the electricity demand grew.

Turbine 1:  : 360 KW (included with plant construction)
Turbine 2:  : 360 KW (included with plant construction)
Turbine 3:  : 500 KW (added 1898)
Turbine 4: 1000 KW (added 1905)

Esquimalt Waterworks Company

At the beginning of settlement in the region, Victoria and Esquimalt had an adversarial relationship. Victoria had developed Elk Lake as a water supply, while Esquimalt had attempted to exploit Thetis Lake. Using Thetis Lake had ultimately been a failure because it was simply too small, and as a result was only used for three years. The company, headed by entrepreneur Theodore Lubbe, then turned to a series of lakes located northwest of the city. Using mainly Asian labourers, seven lakes were developed.

The lakes

Secondary sources

These lakes are currently used as a secondary drinking water source by the CRD. Every January, the CRD switches to this system in order to allow inspection of the Kapoor Tunnel, the main artery transporting water to the city from Sooke Lake. The dams on these lakes underwent a $3.5 million refit in 1995 due to concerns about seismic stability.

Lubbe Lake
Butchart Lake
Japan Gulch

Decommissioned sources

These lakes have been decommissioned and are being allowed to return to nature. It was determined that the Mavis and Jack Lake dams would need a seismic refit as well. The decision was made to release the water from these reservoirs, since these sources were no longer required. Cabin Pond has two cabins on its shore where watershed caretakers once took up residence. These lakes are now a part of the Sea to Sea Regional Park Reserve and public access is not permitted.

Motorcycle Types Adventure / Dual-Sport VP intros U4.4 Racing Fuel for motorcycles
VP intros U4.4 Racing Fuel for motorcycles
VP Racing Fuels, the world leader in race fuel technology, announced the latest generation of its U4-based fuels – U4.4. Designed for stock and modified 2- and 4-stroke applications, U4.4 offers more power across a wider range of applications, better throttle response and is less sensitive to heat than its predecessor U4.2, according to Steve Burns, VP's President and Director of R&D.
"With horsepower gains up to 6% compared to premium pump gas, U4.4 is comparable to VP's best AMA Pro level race fuels for less than half the cost-a relatively inexpensive way to generate additional power."
"U4.4 is designed as a direct, pour-in replacement for pump gas," continued Burns. "It will require a modest jetting change-up to 2 main jets and 2 pilot jets at most, so customers can essentially 'pour in the power' and be on their way."
"Historically, generating maximum power from a motorcycle fuel required trade-offs in other areas, for example, residue build-up in the carburetor, vapor lock or other issues," added Burns. "With the new technology in U4.4, there are no trade-offs. It causes no residue build-up, will be more resistant to heat and will yield the most cost-effective power gains of any performance part on the market."
"U4.4 is ideal for engines with 10:1 to 13.5:1 compression," Burns continued, "and with its Motor Octane of 103 and oxygenation, it provides excellent detonation protection."
U4.4 is designed for all 4-stroke applications, and because of its higher octane rating, it's appropriate for all 2-stroke applications as well. U4.4 passes AMA Pro/Am fuel rules and is perfect for CCS, WERA, AFM, NMA, WORCS, SCORE, Best in the Desert, club level racing and more.
Use of U4.4 will yield faster and more responsive engines without harming carburetors, O-rings or gaskets like some other race fuels will. The cost effectiveness of its performance gains should not be underestimated, according to Burns. "For example, a costly new exhaust system wouldn't generate as big a power increase and its increase would be on a smaller slice of the RPM range, while U4.4 produces power gains at all RPM levels," Burns said.
Regarding the evolution of its U4 product line, Burns concluded, "There are always improvements that can be made. We'll never be satisfied until we've explored all options for providing customers with the best technology and performance possible, and we have the ability to move quickly to introduce the newest technological developments to market. Making the best performing fuels is what we do for a living, and we're pretty good at it."
Over its 35-year history, VP has earned a reputation for producing high quality racing fuels with superior power and consistency-as illustrated by its sweep of all AMA Pro Racing Championships in Superbike, Supercross, Motocross and Supermoto for five consecutive years through 2008. VP is also the official, spec fuel and/or contingency sponsor of AMA Dragbike, AMA Flat Track, AMA Motocross, AMA Supercross, NHRA and ADRL among more than 50 VP-sponsored sanctioning bodies.

Los Angeles shuts down all its schools due to 'credible' threat
A sign outside a school in Los Angeles tells students it is closed on Dec. 15, 2015, and to "stay tuned."

The two largest school districts in the country received the same bomb threat on Tuesday. One shut down all its schools; the other said it was just a hoax.
The threat came via email, targeted "many schools" and it reportedly originated overseas. But officials' reactions varied as widely as their coasts. Los Angeles asked all 640,000 of its students and staff to stay home. New York, however, said that same threat was not only "outlandish," but it also sounded like an episode of Homeland.
LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines told reporters that while the district gets threats "all the time," this particular one was "rare."
But New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said there was "nothing credible about the threat."
"It was so outlandish," Mayor de Blasio said. "It would be a huge disservice to our nation to close down our school systems."

NYPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said the threat included a reference to Allah — the first official statement linking the message to Islam — but that the author failed to capitalize the name, suggesting it was merely a hoax. He also said Los Angeles' decision to call off school was a "significant overreaction."

— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) December 15, 2015
"We affirm that we do have an investigation underway, but it's an investigation into a hoax," Bratton said. "We do believe the email originated overseas. The language in the email would lead us to believe that it was not a jihadist."
He added that the threat "mirrors a lot of recent episodes on Homeland," the Showtime drama that follows a CIA agent as she tries to protect the U.S. from terrorists.

Hoax or not, Los Angeles school officials took no chances, as they asked parents and families who have not yet sent their kids to school to keep them at home. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck warned against anyone who might criticize the school district for overreacting to its decision to close schools.
"It is very easy in hindsight to criticize a decision based on results the decider could never have known," Beck said.
"I think it is irresponsible, based on facts yet to be determined, to criticize that decision at this point," he said. He added that the threat was very specific about the campuses targeted, as well as the "explosives, assault rifles and machine pistols" the would-be attackers would employ.
"We are still vetting this threat. I will not categorize it as credible or non-credible," he said.

At the federal level, Texas Congressman Michael McCaul said on MSNBC that the threat "may have come from an IP address out of Germany."
"We are doing that attribution now, back to possibly Europe," he said, cautioning that officials didn't know its source or how credible it was. "We do know that the terrorists have looked at exploiting this means of social media as a device to shut things down," he added.
While no individual group has claimed credit for the threat, ISIS loyalists reportedly created a thread in an online forum dedicated to discussion of jihad with the title "Panic in the American Los Angeles," according to Vocativ. "Thank God, they are panicked of everything," one supporter reportedly wrote.

Q: Why is it called android:id, android:textAppearance, etc.? Why does most of the XML attributes start with android:?
It seems like a great waste of typing...

A: That's just the XML namespace for all android related tags/attributes that you define in the root elements of your XML files.
If you don't want to type that much, you can change
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

to
 xmlns:a="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

This allows you to use elements in a way like
a:id=".."

Instead of a you can use any other name/letter combo too.

A: This is the namespace defined by xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".

A: its about namespace. create your own custom view with custom attributes, and you'll see the difference.

Papadopoulos told the Feds he received $10,000 from a foreign national he believed was a spy
By Daily Caller News Foundation August 21, 2018 August 21, 2018

By Chuck Ross
Buried at the bottom of a court document Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed Friday is a reference to a mysterious $10,000 cash payment given to George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign adviser who has been charged with giving false statements to the FBI.
On the final page of a memo recommending that Papadopoulos serve up to six months in jail, Mueller said that Papadopoulos told investigators about $10,000 in cash that he received from a foreign national who he suspected to be a foreign spy.
"The defendant provided information about $10,000 in cash he received from a foreign national whom he believed was likely an intelligence officer of a foreign country (other than Russia)," reads the court filing, which recommends a fine of between $500 and $9,500 for Papadopoulos.
"The defendant has stated that he kept that money in a safe pending his sentencing in this case and Counsel for the defendant has consented to the imposition of this fine amount," it continued.
While Mueller's court filing makes no other reference to the individual, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned that a man named Charles Tawil gave Papadopoulos $10,000 during a meeting in an Israeli hotel room in July 2017.
Sources familiar with the matter told TheDCNF Tawil flew to the Greek island of Mykonos to meet Papadopoulos and his now-wife, Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos. Tawil invited the pair to Israel, but Mangiante Papadopoulos stayed behind.
Papadopoulos gave the money to an attorney in Greece before traveling back to the U.S., a source told TheDCNF on the condition of anonymity. Papadopoulos was arrested at Dulles International Airport on a return trip from overseas on July 27, 2017.
Papadopoulos and Tawil met through an Israeli political strategist named David Ha'ivri.
Ha'ivri told TheDCNF said that he introduced the pair "at my own initiative" to facilitate a business deal involving an oil and gas project in the Aegean and Mediterranean seas.
Ha'ivri said that Tawil "is a part time consultant for companies that operate in Africa and Middle East." He believed when he introduced Tawil to Papadopoulos that the former Trump aide had "good connections" in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.
"Charles is a consultant for corporations in this region, I thought that they might find common ground and that together we might form a consultancy firm in this area. George had not gone on to join the Trump administration, so I thought that with his background he could be a good candidate for business prospects," Ha'ivri said in an email.
"When I first reached out to George he seemed to me a good person to be in touch with, as he was a young guy who had been part of the successful Trump for president campaign," he continued. "We discussed potential consultancy work for business in the Aegean, Cyprus and Middle East focusing on business related to gas and petroleum infrastructure because of Charles' network of contacts and George specialization."
Ha'ivri said he was not aware of a payment from Tawil to Papadopoulos. But he said Tawil succeeded in getting a consulting contract with a petroleum and gas infrastructure company.
"That company agreed to give a retainer of $10,000 a month," Ha'ivri told TheDCNF.
"The retainer would go firstly to cover [George's] needs as he said that he had financial problems," he continued. "This first job was to help preparing bidding document to Exxon Mobil for their project in Cyprus and help negotiating a subcontracting deal there."
Ha'ivri said that the deal quickly fell apart, blaming Papadopoulos' "immaturity."
"After that the whole story fell apart. Charles left back to Washington and the story was over," he said.
Ha'ivri said he did not know that the FBI was investigating Papadopoulos when the Israeli introduced him to Tawil.
"Had we known about them before we would have never reached out to a guy like George," Ha'ivri said.
Mysterious encounters have become a theme for Papadopoulos, a 30-year-old energy consultant who joined the Trump campaign in early March 2016 after a stint on the Ben Carson campaign.
Papadopoulos, who lives in Chicago, has met with several key players in the Russia investigation.
In an interview in June with CNN's Jake Tapper, Mangiante Papadopoulos described several "shady characters," who she said approached her husband during and after the 2016 presidential campaign.
Without naming Tawil, she mentioned "someone we met in Mykonos, an Israeli person who flew to Mykonos to discuss business."
Shortly after joining the campaign, Papadopoulos first met Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese professor who worked at the London Centre for International Law Practice (LCILP). Papadopoulos worked at the think tank, as well, but did not know Mifsud. Mangiante Papadopoulos also worked at LCILP and knew Mifsud prior to meeting Papadopoulos.
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty on Oct. 5, 2017 to giving false statements to the FBI about his the timing and extent of his contacts with Mifsud. The former Trump aide told FBI agents during a Jan. 27, 2017 interview that Mifsud told him in April 2016 that the Russian government had "dirt on Hillary Clinton in the form of "thousands" of her emails.
Two weeks after his conversation with Mifsud about Clinton dirt, Papadopoulos met at a London wine room with Alexander Downer, who then served as Australia's top diplomat to the U.K. Downer would later tell the U.S. government that Papadopoulos made some mention of Russians having derogatory information on Clinton. More than two months later, the FBI opened its collusion counterintelligence investigation based on the Papadopoulos information.
Mangiante Papadopoulos has insisted that her husband was not involved in collusion between the Russian government and Trump campaign. She has claimed that the FBI's investigation was started based on "gossip" and that Papadopoulos did not see, handle or disseminate the emails Mifsud mentioned to him.
Sergei Millian, an alleged source for the infamous Steele dossier, unsolicitedly contacted Papadopoulos on July 22, 2016, requesting a meeting with Papadopoulos. The pair met several times during the 2016 election campaign. Mangiante Papadopoulos has told TheDCNF that Millian offered Papadopoulos a $30,000-per-month contract on behalf of a Russian energy company.
Papadopoulos was also approached during the campaign by Stefan Halper, a former University of Cambridge professor who spied on the Trump campaign as an FBI informant.
Halper flew Papadopoulos to London in September 2016 and paid him a $3,000 honorarium to write a policy paper about Mediterranean energy issues. Papadopoulos has told associates that Halper asked him during one conversation if he knew anything about Russian hacking of Democrats' emails.
Unbeknownst to Papadopoulos, Halper had also been in contact with Carter Page, another Trump campaign adviser. Halper and Page remained in contact through September 2017.
It is unclear whether the government believes that the Tawil offer has anything to do with the main portion of the case against Papadopoulos. The special counsel's office declined comment. (RELATED: Papadopoulos Was Approached By 'Highly Suspicious' Businessmen, His Wife Claims)
Little else is known about Tawil, who lists himself on LinkedIn as a consultant for a company called Gestomar.

Boundaries & consent
Why dating deal breakers matter
Here's why setting, sticking with, or sometimes changing your deal breakers is so important.
By Kelsey Misbrener
My friend recently had drinks with someone new for the first time since ending a long-term relationship. She was nervous about the whole event, but mostly about one thing: His politics. So when he showed up to the café and started their hangout by disclosing whom he would not be supporting in an upcoming election, she was relieved.
He didn't make the cut for a second meeting, but he made it past her first dating deal breaker.
What's a dating deal breaker?
I first learned about this concept during a Human Sexuality class in college. At the time, I had been through a few boyfriends, but nothing serious. So, when my Kent State University Professor Irene Axiotis opened the class by asking everyone to write down their dating deal breakers, I sat and stared at my blank notecard. I hadn't ever thought about the red flags that would make me say no to a relationship before it began. I scribbled down: "Someone who hurts my cat."
Dr. Axiotis then collected the notecards and read some aloud to the room.
She said she discusses deal breakers at the beginning of her class on relationships because it's something most people in the room have probably thought of before. "They could look at other people's relationships and think no, that would not be ok with me. Or they have already set boundaries for themselves about what kind of relationships they want to be in."
Staying true to you
In grade school and high school we talked anatomy in health class, but never discussed consent or healthy relationships. I was taught it was good manners to always say "yes" to a dance and often accepted advances just because someone was attracted to me. Low self-esteem and bullying also made me more likely to say "yes" to anyone interested.
Bedsider U campus rep Emma developed her main deal breaker after a long struggle to come out as bisexual. For years, Emma never told anyone she dated about her sexuality for fear of being dumped or having her sexual preference fetishized.
"When I finally came out, I realized the best way to ensure that I was being respected was with being upfront and unapologetic," Emma said. She began disclosing her bisexuality on first dates—along with her choice to not shave her legs.
"If the person I was seeing wasn't okay with that stuff, I wasn't okay with dating them," Emma said. "I stopped allowing others to dictate the parts of me I shared, and instead let myself decide. Now, I have a boyfriend of almost a year who loves me, my openness with my sexuality, AND my hairy legs!"
Changing with time and experience
Another Bedsider rep established a deal breaker early in life based on her own family's experience, then adjusted it with time.
Jennifer's mom is Catholic, her dad is Jewish, and she grew up in a "loosely Jewish" home. Part of her dad's family did not accept her mom, so Jennifer initially vowed not to allow religion to be a deal breaker in her own relationships. When she went to college and became more religious, she realized she might prefer to be with a Jewish partner.
In Jennifer's own words: "As I began college, I became more religious, and while I knew I shouldn't automatically discount someone who wasn't Jewish, I realized how important to me it would be to be with someone who was… However, after a bit of that mindset, I also realized that religion ultimately doesn't make that big of a difference in partners for me—as long as they have the same values as me, whether as a result of religion or not, I'm happy. While I no longer view religion as a deal-breaker, I have reconciled my feelings to somewhere in the middle: while I would prefer, for a number of reasons like familiarity and comfort, to be with a Jew, I have decided to be more open-minded and see what that brings me."
My professor's deal breakers exercise encouraged me to have autonomy and set boundaries for myself. It taught me I am allowed to be picky when it comes to a mate, but can also be flexible if someone is a good match but doesn't jive with some of my smaller deal breakers.
There are some deal breakers I would never compromise on. I could not be with someone who is not a feminist. I could never date a person who treats wait staff poorly. For me, these are two things that define someone's character—so no matter what seemingly good attributes they might have, it would never be enough to overpower those major flaws.
Dr. Axiotis said a good activity for self-exploration is to write down your deal breakers now, then look back at them in 5 years. How have they changed?
I've added quite a few deal breakers to my list since that day in class and have compromised on a handful as well. Life is not black and white, but setting deal breakers has helped me to protect myself and find the best possible match for me.

New Heart Treatment Shows Early Success
BOSTON – Doctors are reporting surprising early success with a novel treatment they hope will one day cure congestive heart failure in thousands of dying patients: They shrink the bloated heart with drugs while an artificial pump temporarily takes over the workload.
Though small, the British study more than tripled the usual recovery rate for patients with severe heart failure, a common killer once viewed as unstoppable. Eight of 24 patients seem fully recovered, though their dying hearts had once ballooned up to twice the normal size. And the benefit has lasted at least four years and counting.
"Maybe, in some patients, the failing heart is not end-stage after all," Drs. Dale Renlund and Abdallah Kfoury of the Utah Transplantation Affiliated Hospitals declared in an accompanying editorial.
The findings were published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.
The technique must now be confirmed in larger studies and probably will not spread anytime soon in the United States, since one of the drugs isn't even approved for general use here, doctors say. Also, heart pumps can cost $200,000, including hospital care. The study was backed by pump maker Thoratec Corp. of Pleasanton, Calif.
Nevertheless, the findings excited doctors, because congestive heart failure afflicts about 5 million Americans and each year kills about 58,000. Some drugs and pacemakers treat its early forms, but it often gets worse. These damaged or overworked hearts ultimately pump so weakly that sufferers cannot even perform simple daily tasks.
Once that happens, the only solution is either a transplant — and donor hearts are scarce — or an artificial heart pump. These implanted pumps can take over much of the heart's work, but they can cause clots or infections in the long run and bring about recovery in no more than 10 percent of patients. Something else is needed.
The English team at Harefield Hospital in Middlesex got the idea of combining the heart drugs and the implanted pumps. The theory was that the devices would give the heart a working vacation while the drugs returned it to its normal size.
Since this rest can eventually weaken heart muscle, the researchers added one more drug, a heart-strengthener called clenbuterol.
As the study began, the hospital put the pumping implants into 24 patients without a previous heart attack or infection. Nine were too sick for further treatment or soon died, but 15 took all the drugs. Eleven were well enough to remove the implants mostly within a year, and the treatment left eight fully recovered.
Four years later, they were leading "normal lives, with normal heart function," said lead researcher Emma Birks. "It's quite dramatic, really."
Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a heart failure expert at UCLA, said up to 40,000 Americans might ultimately be candidates for such treatments each year, if the technique is clearly proved by bigger and better studies. "This could be incredibly important," he said.
Others also wondered whether patients with earlier disease could take a similar battery of drugs, get better, and maybe never need the heart pumps.
Yet some were doubtful about the study's approach and small size. Dr. Steven Nissen, a Cleveland Clinic heart expert, said it is impossible to tell without a comparison group how such patients would fare without a heart pump or some of the drugs.
"It's a very interesting paper," he said. "I have some concerns about whether it's actually going to represent the breakthrough that it seems."
The heart-strengthening drug, clenbuterol, is sometimes used to bulk up cattle or athletes but is not approved by the FDA. It is not clear if it would work well or safely in many patients, doctors say.
Dr. Eric Rose, a pioneering heart-pump surgeon at Columbia University in New York, questioned how the other drugs — which are often used for heart disease — could seemingly work so well in these patients, when coupled with the implants.
"This field has been plagued by hyped expectations in the past," he said. "It can have the effect of setting the field back. I hope that won't be the case here."

En borger kan enten betegne en statsborger, altså en indbygger med borgerrettigheder i et land, eller mere snævert et medlem af borgerskabet, altså en bestemt stand eller samfundsgruppe som modsætning til andre samfundsgrupper. De to forskellige hovedbetydninger adskilles klart på flere hovedsprog; således bruges på engelsk ordet citizen (fransk: citoyen) om en borger i den første betydning, mens ordet bourgeois både på engelsk og fransk omfatter den anden betydning.

Antikkens borgerbegreb

Begrebet borger (citizen) har rødder tilbage i den græsk-romerske idé om byen som det politiske fællesskabs vugge. Borgerskab (citizenship) betød at have borgerrettigheder og borgerpligter i byen. Som borger i det gamle Athen havde man således en forpligtelse til at tage del i Athens fælles anliggender.

På græsk betyder polis både by og stat. I de oldgræske byer faldt begrebet "byborger" sammen med begrebet "statsborger". Men Rom, der oprindelig var en bystat, kom efterhånden til at beherske først hele Italien og derpå hele Middelhavsområdet. Dermed blev også romersk borgerskab, der i begyndelsen var begrænset til byen Roms frie indbyggere, udvidet til at omfatte de fleste af Italiens frie indbyggere i år 90 fvt. og alle Romerrigets frie indbyggere i 212 evt. Hermed var der skabt et statsborgerbegreb adskilt fra byborgerbegrebet. Ved Romerrigets sammenbrud i 400-tallet forsvandt dette borgerbegreb dog foreløbig igen.

Middelalderen

En borger er et plattysk ord, som kom i brug på dansk i de sidste århundreder af middelalderen og efterhånden afløste de ældre udtryk "bymand", "købstadmand" o.l. Ordet er afledt af "borg".

Købstæder opstod typisk ved, at folk bosatte sig omkring en borg, der kunne yde dem beskyttelse, f.eks. Nyborg eller Vordingborg. Borgerne var handlende og håndværkere, der havde løst borgerskab og derigennem fået monopol på at styre byens indre anliggender. Borgerstanden udgjorde i middelalderen købstædernes borgere, der sammen med gejstlige, adelige og bønderne udgjorde landets fire stænder. Det var dog langtfra alle indbyggere i en købstad, der var borgerlige. Gejstlige eller adelige betragtedes således ikke som borgere, selvom de boede fast inden for bymuren, ligesom tjenestefolk mfl. ikke regnedes til borgerstanden. Borgerne udgjorde dermed en slags middelklasse, som politisk og socialt stod under adelen og kirken, men over bønder og arbejdere. Borgerne omtaltes også som tredjestanden i samfundets firestænderrigsdag.

I 1320-årene var reglen i Danmark og Skåne, at den, der ønskede borgerskab i en by, blev indskrevet i "stadens bog". Var man ikke født i byen, behøvede man borgerskab, selv om man ikke var udlænding. En udenbys mand, der var gift med en lokalfødt kvinde, eller med datter af en mand, der havde hus og ejendom i byen, behøvede ikke borgerskab. Kun tilflyttere og udlændinge blev afkrævet borger-ed. Forordning af 15. februar 1422 for enkelte danske byer gjorde borgerskab til en forudsætning for at udøve erhverv i byen. Dertil skulle bystyret føre tilsyn med håndværkere. Først ved forordning af 1475 blev reglerne gjort gældende for hele Danmark. I København omkring 1500 var forudsætningen for at opnå borgerskab skriftligt vidnesbyrd eller troværdige vidner fra det forrige bosted om ens forhold, såsom at man skiltes fra sin tidligere husbond i mindelighed. Derefter aflagde man troskabsed. Borgerskabet gik tabt, hvis borgeren forlod byen med sin kone og ejendom, og ikke vendte tilbage "inden år og dag". Den ældste separate bog for indførsel af borgerskab i Danmark er fra Århus rådstue i 1470; den næstældste fra Ålborg i 1545, og dernæst fra Ribe i 1587. Udstedelse af borgerbrev begynde først omkring 1700.

Nyere tid

Christian 4.s reces fra 1643 præciserer, at når en håndværker tog borgerskab, skulle det oplyses i hvilket håndværk. Christian 5.s danske lov fra 1683 stiller krav om edsaflæggelse og betaling efter politiordningen. Dertil måtte borgeren betale for "Huus og Ildstæd" i byen (dvs. have bolig og være bosat der), og udføre og betale "al Borgerlig og Byens Tyngde" (dvs. hverv, skatter og afgifter). Der skulle betales tre København-skilling til "wor scultus", samt en skilling til hver af rådstuerettens medlemmer, og til hver af rådmændene og bytjenerne. Malmøs rådstueprotokol 1503-48 opgiver afgiften for at aflægge borgerskab som varierende mellem 3 og 15 danske mark, formentlig udregnet efter borgerens fag og indtægtsmuligheder.

I Bergen var der regler for, at borgere ikke måtte være borte fra byen længere end 1 år og 1 dag, bekræftet af kongen 1. december 1579. Dertil var det forbudt at tage sin kone med ud af Bergen, bortset fra i slagtetiden om efteråret. Ligeledes måtte manden blive i byen, hvis hans kone var vækrejst. Hensigten var, at en af dem altid skulle være tilgængelig for at udføre tjenester, som kongen eller byen havde krav på. Især var der begrænset udrejse for krambodhandlere, der kun måtte forlade Bergen i slagtetiden fra korsmesse (14. september) til mortensdag (11. november). Håndværkere havde forbud mod at drive handel, men kunne rejse ud af byen om efteråret for at få købt slagtervarer til egen husholdning. Købmænd og borgere havde forbud mod at indlogere nogen, der ikke var "Eedtagne Borgere", for at undgå, at fremmede gik Bergens egne borgere og håndværkere i næringen.

I de kommende århundreder, og i Danmark ikke mindst efter enevældens indførelse i 1660, fik borgerskabet en stærkere økonomisk og social position, og blandt andet mulighed for at uddanne sig til og besætte stillingerne i centraladministrationen. Borgerstandens selvfølelse steg dermed også. I løbet af 1700-tallet genopstod interessen for den klassiske oldtid og dens borgerbegreber. I forbindelse med den amerikanske frihedskrig og den franske revolution i slutningen af 1700-tallet slog et nyt statsborgerskab igennem. Efter disse begivenheder var amerikanerne og franskmændene ikke at betragte som undersåtter, men blev borgere i et demokrati, og indgik dermed i et nyt politisk fællesskab. Fra dette tidspunkt blev ordet "borger" anvendt i begge de grundlæggende betydninger, det har i dag.

Column: Yes Santa Claus, there is a Virginia
EDITOR'S NOTE: This guest column was written by Kevin Haggerty of Bloomington in 2004, when he was a community columnist for The Herald-Times. It is reprinted here as a modern day response to the famous "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" editorial, written in 1897 by Francis Pharcellus Church at The Sun in New York as a response to a letter from 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon. As is our pre-Christmas tradition, the original editorial will appear on Thursday's editorial page.
We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Herald-Times:
"I confess that I am a very old man, measured in miles travelled, and in demands made on me to deliver the most recent electronic devices available, whether they consist of a writhing/talking doll, or a 'Game Box' of some particular brand name. We certainly have come a long way from the days of simple wooden toys whose workings were immediately discernible, yet infinitely fascinating. If my visit helped a sick or needy child, the miles and the years rolled back as if by magic, and I was instantly renewed.
"This precious event has become rarer and rarer, until I think there is no longer anyone like Virginia O'Hanlon. You may recall that she wrote to your paper in 1897 to seek advice on the question of my own existence. I have likewise come to doubt her existence. It is difficult to reconcile the image of sweet, innocent Virginia with the recent TV pictures of women trampling one another to secure a place in line at Wal-Mart.
"My wonderful wife, who is attuned to my every mood, suggested that I write your editor for guidance in this matter. She says, 'The Herald-Times always knows.' Please tell me the truth: Is there a Virginia?
"S. Claus"
Dear Mr. Claus,
Consider yourself lucky to have such a wife. Her journalistic intuition is without equal. Doubt and skepticism are necessary in our jaded age, but are entirely unwarranted in this matter. There are those who cannot believe anything they have not seen with their own eyes. If they did not read it in USA Today, or see it on CNN or on a movie screen, it must not be real. Yet, we are surrounded by the evidence of a greater truth, if we will but see it.
When we first awaken, do we immediately remember who our enemies are?
Who are we supposed to hate?
How much money would we accept in exchange for our loved ones? How much would we offer?
Do we hurt when we see others in pain? Including animals?
Do we not see a better world for our children? Why do we work, struggle and sacrifice for it, although we do not see our situation improving in the never-ending chaos and fearful uncertainty presented in the media?
"The good news is, you're going to die — the bad news is, not for another 40 years." Can we accept that as the punch line of a joke, or is it a tragic reality? Can it be both?

Ukip's immigration launch descends into chaos over 50,000 cap and banning terminally ill migrants
Tories seize on apparent contradiction between spokesman and party leader Nigel Farage over cap on migrant numbers
By Christopher Hope and Christopherhope 04 March 2015 • 5:51pm
Nigel Farage fails to make a mark on US trip
Nigel Farage's launch of his party's flagship immigration election policy has descended into chaos, after his immigration spokesman appeared to contradict him over whether Ukip wanted a cap on migrant numbers and a ban on terminally-ill foreigners coming to Britain's shores.
The indecision was seized on by the Tories, with George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, saying: "Nigel Farage seems to be making it up as he goes along."
In a speech in central London, the leader of the UK Independence Party promised to restore "sanity" to immigration policy with a five-year ban on unskilled workers.
Mr Farage wanted to see "a country that is at ease with itself, where we speak the same language [and] where our kids can play football with each other, and we all get on".
Ukip would also refuse to sign up to any rules that guaranteed free movement of labour after leading Britain out of Europe.
But Mr Farage also said that he wanted to drop plans to cap the annual inflow at 50,000, contradicting the party's previous position from last week.
Ukip changed position after officially figures last week which heaped embarrassment on the Tories over missing their target to cut net migration to tens of thousands.
Mr Farage insisted that there had been no "u-turn". He said the policy had "evolved", and accused the media of being "obsessed" with caps.
However, the position was contradicted by Steven Woolfe, the party's immigration spokesman, who said he stood by a 50,000 annual cap for skilled workers.
He told The Daily Telegraph: "The numbers I have only ever talked about are work and the highly skilled migrant numbers."
There was further confusion when Mr Farage said Ukip wanted to attract "quality" immigrants and turn away migrants with "life threatening illnesses".
To applause from activists, Mr Farage said: "The vast majority of British people want change, they want us to control not just the quantity but crucially the quality of who comes to this country.
"We want sensible controlled numbers of people who come to this country, people who have skills and trades that will benefit this nation.
"People who have not got criminal records, people who have not got a life threatening illness, and people who when they come bring with them medical insurance."
Mr Woolfe insisted later that, while the party would insist on migrants having their own health insurance, it would not stop seriously ill asylum seekers coming to the UK.
Mr Woolfe said "a sensible, fair ethical country does not turn away people" who were very ill at the border.
He said: "If someone comes to the border, say an asylum seeker for example who is ill, we are not going to turn them away.
"The principle is in place that – we want a system that everyone who comes has to have an insurance policy."
Last October Mr Farage came under fire when he said it would be "a good start" to bar migrants with HIV from entering Britain.

In an ongoing effort to digitize historical photographs and paper ephemera, Maryville University Archives has digitized and electronically published student newspapers dating from the early 1900s.
After 30 years away, Sandra Harris returned to her hometown of St. Louis this fall to serve as library director for Maryville University. Most recently, she worked as executive director of the Desert Caballeros Western Museum.
During Alumni Weekend, Sept. 22-24, Maryville University Archives will display a steamer trunk and its contents, which once belonged to a novice at Maryville in the early 1900s.
On the top floor of Kernaghan Hall are two enormous, wooden display cabinets—three doors wide and so tall they barely fit in the hallway.
The digital archives in the Maryville University Archives collection are a treasure trove of memories and information.
This summer, the University Library remains open and available to the campus community and alumni, providing all the same services—many of which may not be widely known.
The exhibit, "Judith Shaw Body of Work: The Art of Eating Disorder Recovery," will be displayed in the Morton J. May Foundation Gallery at Maryville University, Jan. 19 – Feb. 26.

Huntingtons Disease - Medical Malpractice
Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease that results in degeneration of the mental and motor function of the individual who suffers from it. Eventually, the person dies from the disease. It was first identified in 1872 by Dr. George Huntington as a specific disease but symptoms of the disease were noted as early as the middle ages. It was once called Huntington's chorea because of the choreiform movements (wide sweeping dance-like motions) of the affected patients. They twist and turn, making writhing movements in the latter stages of the disease.
Huntington's disease affects more than 1,000 people in Canada and at least 15,000 additional people have a fifty-fifty chance of getting the disease. As the disease is autosomal dominant, each person with the disease passes it onto fifty percent of their offspring.
The cause of Huntington's disease is the genetically programmed cell death and degeneration of the nerve cells in specific areas of the brain that control intellectual faculties, emotional regulation and movement. These areas of the brain include the deeper areas of the brain in the white matter and in the basal ganglia. It also affects the outer portion of the brain, in the cortex, where things like memory, perception and thought are controlled.
The gene that produces Huntington's disease is on chromosome 4, which means that women and men are equally affected. There are no racial differences in those who suffer from the disease. Because the disease is dominant, it only takes one abnormal gene to cause the disease. In recessive diseases, it takes both pairs of the gene to affect the occurrence of the disease. Huntington's disease is inherited from one parent only. The normal gene has a certain number of CAG gene bases at the end of the gene. In Huntington's disease, the CAG sequence is repeated many times over, which allows doctors to test for the presence of Huntington's disease before a person is actually affected by the gene. There is a cutoff for the number of CAG repeats allowed and anything over that puts a person at higher than average risk for getting Huntington's disease. A rare number of Huntington's disease patients are sporadic cases that have no family history but have a new genetic mutation.
The signs and symptoms of the disease vary with how far along a person is in the course of the disease. In the beginning, there are mood swings, irritability, apathy, angry symptoms or depressed symptoms. These symptoms may improve with worsening disease or may get worse. Deep depression is common in the disease. The cognitive function worsens and the person has trouble remembering things or doing certain tasks. Intellect decreases gradually and eventually becomes profoundly diminished. The person falls easily and eventually cannot walk at all. Choreiform movements are a sign of the disease in its middle and late stages. Speech and swallowing are affected and the person has problems recognizing family members, similar to other dementias. The most common causes of death include injuries caused by a fall, pneumonia and complications related to dementia.
Huntington's disease occurs at varying ages and depends on how many CAG repeats a person has. Most Huntington's disease patients are in their 30s and 40s at onset, and the disease progresses from there. Because the disease doesn't happen until after childbearing years, the person often passes the disease onto their offspring before they know they have the disease. This is where the new genetic testing comes in. A person can choose to be tested to see if they are at risk for the disease at any age so they can choose not to have children if they have the disease. It is a very emotional decision to decide whether or not to be tested for the disease because it can affect a person's health insurance and emotional stability if they know they are doomed to have the disease. A few people get the disease before the age of 20 and are considered to have "juvenile" Huntington's disease. The decline in functioning is usually quite rapid. Those with juvenile disease tend to have the largest number of CAG repeats and tend to inherit the disease from their fathers. Very few people get the disease after the age of 55 years.
There is no cure for Huntington's disease and the disease is treated symptomatically. A new drug called tetrabenazine has been approved for the treatment of the chorea seen in the disease. Antidepressants, anti-anxiety agents and anti-psychotics are also medications that control symptoms of the disease.

The model and Instagram star says 10 things to herself in the mirror every day.
Chances are, you've probably seen Iskra Lawrence on your Instagram feed—the British model, 26, has over 3 million followers and has become famous for her body-positive social media posts. Lawrence isn't afraid to get real with her fans, often sharing no-makeup selfies and before-and-after photos that reveal how easily social media images can be retouched or staged. Health recently had the chance to chat with the body-positive icon about how she practices self-care, her girl crushes, and what advice she'd give her younger self.
You feel amazing afterward. You're going to achieve something. You're going to feel accomplished.
Making the decision to love your body for more than what it just looks like and appreciating it for all that it does for you.
The mirror challenge—looking in the mirror and picking out five things you love about yourself that aren't physical. So, "I'm loyal" or "I'm creative." Then pick five things you love about your body in terms of its abilities. For instance, "I'm grateful for my hands because I love to sketch." It really does make you think, "Wow, I'm just so grateful to even have a healthy, able body."
Michelle Obama and Serena Williams.
My journey with the modeling industry. People told me I was fat when I was half naked, about to go onto a runway. I used all those nos as ammunition to prove people wrong.
"You are enough." I wish I'd known it sooner so I didn't keep having to force change upon myself that wasn't necessary.

TIME Magazine Names Greta Thunberg Their "2019 Person Of The Year"
"The change is going to come from the people demanding action, and that is us," says Greta, who has been described as "The Power Of Youth" by TIME.
By Devika Menon
A year ago, not many people knew who Greta Thunberg was. Now, the world recognizes her as one the most powerful names in the climate change movement, across the world. She's been skipping school every Friday to protest outside of the parliament building in Stockholm, and recently, the whole world joined in, protesting across cities to get the government to hear the silent plea of planet Earth. At 16 years, the teenager has done more for the planet than some of us have ever done in our lifetime. She also spent two weeks traversing the Atlantic's rough waters in the zero-emission Malizia II yacht to make it to the UN's Climate Action Summit which was held in New York in September.
Now, achieving all of this at such a young age is why she's been named TIME's Person of the Year in 2019. According to BBC, this ritual was started by the magazine in 1927, and Thunberg is the youngest person to grace the cover of the magazine since then. Through an editorial post, TIME explained why Greta Thunberg was chosen to be their person of the year.
"Thunberg is not a leader of any political party or advocacy group. She is neither the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis nor the most qualified to fix it. She is not a scientist or a politician. She has no access to traditional levers of influence: she's not a billionaire or a princess, a pop star or even an adult. She is an ordinary teenage girl who, in summoning the courage to speak truth to power, became the icon of a generation. By clarifying an abstract danger with piercing outrage, Thunberg became the most compelling voice on the most important issue facing the planet."
Thunberg's efforts are so heartfelt and sincere that even world leaders have begun to notice it. "When you are a leader and every week you have young people demonstrating with such a message, you cannot remain neutral," French President Emmanuel Macron told TIME. "They helped me change." Leaders respond to pressure, the pressure is created by movements, movements are built by thousands of people changing their minds. And sometimes, the best way to change a mind is to see the world through the eyes of a child.
"This moment does feel different," former Vice President Al Gore told TIME. "Throughout history, many great morally based movements have gained traction at the very moment when young people decided to make that movement their cause. We can't just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow," she says, tugging on the sleeve of her blue sweatshirt. "That is all we are saying."
"Young people tend to have a fantastic impact in public opinion around the world," U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres told TIME. "Governments follow." Thunberg is currently in Madrid attending COP25, the UN's annual Climate Change Conference. On December 6th, in Madrid, Greta climbs onto the stage in front of the people who have come from all nations, hoping to change the current situation, and she says, "The change is going to come from the people demanding action, and that is us."
