Correa and Buxton Could Become This Generation's M&M Boys

By CJ Baumgartner - January 18, 2023
Don't know if you have heard the news yet, but Carlos Correa is a Minnesota Twin. The physical is done, the contract is signed, and the press conference is completed. He has a six-year, $200 million contract with vesting options that could stretch to a max contract of ten years, $270 million. If all goes according to plan, Correa could spend 11 years of his pro career in a Twins uniform after spending seven years previously with the Houston Astros.
Correa has a chance to become the face of the franchise for younger fans. Correa and Byron Buxton are coming into this season as the undisputed leaders of the Twins for as long as they wear a Minnesota uniform. Young fans will get to watch two incredibly talented baseball players who are on their hometown team in the prime of their careers.
It's about a once-in-a-generation opportunity at best for mid-market teams like Minnesota. Buxton and Correa's star tandem is something Twins fans haven't seen since Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau spent their prime playing together in the mid-2000s and 2010s.
The two were inseparable. Mauer and Morneau hit three and four in the Twins lineup, were putting up good seasons side by side and even roomed together in the early years of their Twins careers. Mauer and Morneau were the same quiet leaders who let their play on the field do the talking. Mauer's St. Paul roots played a big role in his popularity. Morneau is from British Columbia in western Canada, but what the heck? He's basically a Minnesotan anyway. Currently living in the Twin Cities and holding pond hockey matchups with Mauer and other prominent Minnesota figures also doesn't hurt his honorary Minnesotan status. What made this duo popular, though, was that the two were so darn good.
Mauer and Morneau were the faces of the Twins franchise from 2006-13. Morneau spent this period slashing .284/.354/.490 with 1101 hits, 176 home runs, and 707 RBI over 1023 games. That also included All-Star appearances every year from 2007 to 2010, two Silver Sluggers, and an AL MVP in 2006. Mauer slashed .327/.410/.473 with 1237 hits, 90 home runs, and 562 RBIs over 1012 games. He also earned six All-Star appearances, five AL Silver Sluggers, three Gold Gloves, three Batting Titles, and the 2009 MVP award.
Buxton and Correa share a similar makeup compared to Minnesota's previous star duo. Mauer and Morneau became great friends playing together through their young seasons together on the Twins. Buxton and Correa are already forever linked as the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the 2012 draft. They were two of the top prospects in baseball and made their big league debuts during the 2015 season.
Through all of that, the two seem to be great friends. That was evident from the first week Correa became a Twin last March, making it well known to the clubhouse and the media that the Twins are Buxton's team. Their relationship continued to grow over the last ten months. Buxton and Correa's friendship was one of the key reasons Correa reconsidered the Twins after deals with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets fell apart.
Now that the Twins have signed Correa for the next six-plus years, we can say the Twins are Buxton and Correa's team. Just like previous Twins squads were Mauer and Morneau's team. The M&M boys is a catchier nickname, but BB & CC has to have some branding opportunities. They'd also be involved in the "ABC" lineup when Luis Arraez, Buxton, and Correa lineup one-two-three in the batting order.
Buxton, when healthy, has been one of the best players in baseball with his 2017 Gold Glove and 2022 All-Star selection. He's produced at a .224/.306/.526 career clip with 477 hits, 98 career home runs, and 255 RBIs in 585 career games. Correa has been even more consistent with his production over his career. Through eight seasons, he's slashed .279/.357/.479 with 933 hits, 155 home runs, and 553 RBIs in 888 career games. Correa took home Rookie of the Year in 2015, two career All-Star nods, and a platinum glove in 2021. It's the playoff pedigree that Correa would be additive if the Twins can reach the postseason. He has reached the World Series three times and has won a championship.
In terms of legacy, which pairing will be remembered best? The M&M boys were in their prime together for roughly seven seasons before the Twins traded Morneau to the Pittsburgh Pirates in September 2013. Buxton and Correa don't have the hardware and All-Star appearances Mauer and Morneau did in Minnesota. However, give this duo time, and you can see that number start to catch up a little bit. You can look at the career numbers of both tandems, and they will likely have similar on-field production. Let's be honest here, no matter what numbers and awards the BB & CC duo finish with, the conversation of who is better will come down to which duo won more in the postseason.
The M&M boys never won a single playoff game together. That's not to blame Mauer and Morneau but more of an unfortunate outcome due to front-office mismanagement. Buxton and Correa now have at least six chances to lead the Twins to the playoffs and hopefully win a postseason game, let alone a postseason series. Therefore, fans may eventually see them as the superior duo. If Buxton and Correa somehow could bring a World Series back to the Twin Cities, then immediately retire both of their numbers and give them the title on the spot.
Despite the lack of postseason success, Mauer and Morneau were a blast to watch during their Twins tenures. Now Twins fans will be treated to this generation's dynamic duo in Buxton and Correa. If it's anything like when the last Twins duo was at their best, the current era of Twins baseball will be competitive, with their two stars leading the charge.

Community Stations like KAOS; WWOZ make a difference
Picture yourself at Tipitina's in the early 80's preparing to catch some funk by Zigaboo Modeliste and George Porter, Jr., and just as the band is about to begin, a microphone descends from the ceiling.
In the early years of WWOZ, Tipitina's was the home of the station.
You would have been witnessing an early, glorious moment in community radio. Located in the beer storage room above the uptown New Orleans night club was the nascent community radio station, WWOZ. With that simple, low-tech approach, the station was able to broadcast a live performance–launching a 30-year tradition of supporting local music.
WWOZ has come a long way from that beer closet and now is readily recognized as the "Guardian of the Groove" in New Orleans.
While serving a smaller market, KAOS has a similar reputation for supporting the often overshadowed music scene in Olympia.
With the KAOS Fall Member Drive and the WWOZ Fall Member Drive, I thought it timely to talk about my two favorite radio stations and why financial support is essential to both.
Like man y, I listen to more than one station. But I only pledge to KAOS and WWOZ. I pledge to KAOS because its my default station that I listen to the most, providing a wide range of music and programming. I pledge to WWOZ because I love New Orleans and its music. Listening to the station connects me, albeit remotely, to the city I was born in. Without WWOZ, I would not have had the confidence to launch Sweeney's Gumbo YaYa – a show that wouldn't exist without KAOS.
Here are the features I like about these stations. They both are non-commercial, community radio stations. They both invite and train members of the community to volunteer as on-air hosts (deejays). While being "volunteer powered" means they're not as slick as some commercial radio stations, the hosts convey an authentic, honest voice, portraying Olympia and New Orleans in a way that gives me a deeper understanding. These deejays work in the same community, walk the same sidewalks, drink at the same bars (you get the idea.).
Both stations are cheerleaders for local music, regularly announcing live music events, hosting studio performances and interviewing musicians and other performers. This boosterism can matter. In 1987, KAOS hosted the the first radio broadcast of Nirvana and this summer, Seattle's Vaudeville Etiquette was written up by the music tracker CMJ because of airplay it received on KAOS.
Just last week, local musician Greg Black stopped by the KAOS table at Arts Walk and offered the station his new CD, recorded two blocks away at Dub Narcotic Studio. You'll hear it, along with other local music, on KAOS.
Ernie K-Doe, New Orleans singer and lounge owner, was a deejay with New Orleans community radio station WWOZ.
And like WWOZ whose shows have been hosted by musicians like James Booker, David Torkanowsky and Ernie K-Doe (this blog's patron saint), many of the KAOS on-air hosts are musicians themselves.
Both stations offer more than music. WWOZ , owned by the same folks who bring us Jazz Fest, focuses on programs that delve into the music and culture of New Orleans. KAOS has a broader mission, providing alternative perspectives such as National Native News, Counter Spin and Workers Independent News. as well as locally produced public affairs programs like Parallel University, Speaking of Wellness and the one I contribute to, Community Connections Report.
Strong listener support for these stations are crucial. The additional funding helps enrich the quality of the programming. But it also demonstrates to underwriters and funders that the station is a valued resource worthy of their support. Please take the time to pledge to KAOS and pledge to WWOZ this week or whenever you read this.

Home Entertainment Amulet' on VOD, a Horror Movie with Dark Secrets and Creepy Vibes
Amulet' on VOD, a Horror Movie with Dark Secrets and Creepy Vibes
Have you watched the new British horror film named Amulet yet? If not then, you are missing an extraordinary film. The film initially launched on July 24, 2020, in the USA.
Without further ado let's jump right into the details of the film.
To refresh your memory, check out the trailer here: http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV_lUlOc4mQ
Is Amulet a Yay or Nay?
The plot follows around Tomaz, who is a homeless ex-soldier in London. One day, after his retirement, he is given a place to stay by a young woman, who lives at a decaying house situated in creepy woods with her sick mother.
As soon as he sets his foot in the house, he begins to feel something is wrong. One night he digs into the soil and finds an amulet, a feminine figure.
He frequently hears moaning sounds, which makes him think the old lady might be a zombie.
She deliberately tries to hurt herself, and that is why all power supply has been turned off in the house.
The story begins at a slow pace, but it still keeps the audience hooked to the screen.
Moreover, the mystery and atmosphere are kept under control. The story gives creepy vibes throughout the film.
There are also some flashbacks in the film, where Tomaz is on duty at a security checkpoint during the war. The story goes back and forth into the present and the past, which reveals how he discovered the amulet. Slowly, the plot fills in the details about him that shows he has some dark secrets too.
As the film progresses, Tomaz begins to like the company of Magda, even though he knows he should run away from the troublesome situation.
https://mobile.twitter.com/AmuletFilm/status/1240289543795937281
The plot takes a sinister turn with time. Besides, Tomaz also unravels disturbing horrific images while renovating the home. He finds a bat that looks more like a fetus. In the final twenty minutes of the slow-burn film, it adds terror, trippy imagery, and nightmarish visuals. However, these things have nothing to do with the dying lady upstairs.
Amulet has the best endings, which will surely make you stunned by its thrill and horror scenes. So it's a complete Yay from our side. Amulet, by far, is one of the best works of Romola Garai in 2020.
This masterpiece is a must-watch for all the horror and thriller film lovers. So hurry up and watch the film now with your friends and family.

Wu Rongguang
Sep 2, 2011 (WiC 120)
Wu Rongguang was born in 1975 in Quanzhou (one of China's claimants to the "shoe capital" title). Wu's own ties to the industry were close ones. His father was the boss of a shoe factory and Wu junior chose to study sport shoe design in Shenyang. After graduating he joined the family business providing OEM services to foreign brands. But in 2000 he founded a new company with registered capital of $5 million, creating his own brand ERKE.
ERKE was a small player in Quanzhou, where more than 3,000 manufacturers produce over 700 million pairs a year. So Wu went looking for a niche, casting the company as a "pioneer of technologies", producing high-end sport shoes. In 2005 ERKE made a splash at a national footwear expo, with a new structure to protect the feet from injury, as well as an internal air circulation system. "The first China high-tech sport shoe brand" was the headline in newspapers the next day. It helped that – compared to Nike and Adidas – ERKE was less expensive. By the end of 2005, sales reached Rmb 600 million, well up on Rmb10 million in 2001.
As a second-generation entrepreneur, Wu's approach to developing the business differed from his father, who warned him against ceding the family's control. But Wu himself thought he needed strategic investors to help solve financing and expansion problems. In 2005 HongXing ERKE successfully listed in Singapore, raising Rmb200 million. It was the first China sportswear company to list overseas.
With 5,500 sales outlets nationwide, ERKE is now one of the leading sportswear brands in China, with a product range including sneakers, sportswear and sports accessories.
ERKE also has a long-running association with Chinese tennis. Back to 2005, Wu sensed that public interest in tennis would increase, although there were few Chinese sponsors in the sport at the time. So he decided to use tennis sponsorship in his marketing strategy, focusing on the ATP Masters Tournament in Shanghai. It looks like being a succcessful bet: Li Na's victory at the French Open this year, the first player from China to win a Grand Slam singles title, has raised the profile of the game significantly.
Setback
In 2008 ERKE's sales hit a record Rmb2.8 billion, but fell to Rmb1.99 billion in 2009. The Singapore-listed firm's financial report for 2010 was, however, delayed due to financial irregularities and trading in the stock has been halted since February. Last year's results are supposed to come out later this month. An insider blamed the firm's problems on too rapid an expansion.
And to relax
Besides golf, Wu's other hobby is shopping."I like walking around shopping malls or small stores, checking out the items, the colours, the fashion styles, the designs, even the smell… they all inspire me, I totally forget the time."

If you're wondering how to get scholarships for graphic design degrees, this easy set of tips can help. Here, we will take a look at some of the various places you can find scholarships, go over how you can go about applying for them, and how to help your chances of getting them. Scholarships are often in places you wouldn't think to look, and there are plenty that you are probably qualified for. Most people simply think that they aren't good enough to get a scholarship (and you can take advantage of this by applying for lots of scholarships), but the only way to find out is to apply yourself and try your best.
The first thing you need to know is where and how to get scholarships for graphic design degrees. The most obvious place to apply for a scholarship is the art school you're considering going to. Many people will overlook this chance, and having a scholarship from the school you attend can be very convenient (as the amount of the scholarship will generally match the costs). Scholarships are available from all sorts of places, though, such as community groups, professional organizations, and charities. You can even enter a contest at an art festival or competition. You can even apply for scholarships at schools or universities that you don't even plan on attending.
But in order to actually acquire these scholarships, you need to know how to get scholarships for graphic design degrees by winning contests or applying through private and public groups. If you have proficient art skills in a particular area, look for competitions in that particular area of art either online or in your local community. Entering a contest that is centered around (or has an entry group in) your specific area of expertise will increase your chances of winning. If a community organization helps out local artists, you can try exchanging some of your artistic talent for a limited scholarship. There are lots of ways to get a scholarship. You just have to be creative.
Learning how to get scholarships for graphic design degrees is usually just a matter of putting yourself out there and being accessible to the world. The important thing to remember is that scholarships aren't going to come to you; you have to go out and try to get them yourself. Applying for a wide variety of different types and amounts of scholarships is a good way to increase your chances, and you can always keep trying once you are actually in art school, assuming you can afford to pay your way for at least a little while. A scholarship can really help you pay for schooling, especially if you are putting yourself through your education.

Major iPhone 11 Feature Tipped By iOS 13 Beta
By Don Reisinger 17 June 2019
It looks like USB-C charging is finally coming to the iPhone, but it's not clear yet how Apple is going to do it.
Apple might be planning a big change to the iPhone 11, if a new discovery in iOS 13 beta is any indication.
(Image credit: Tom's Guide)
Apple user Raphael Mouton published an image to Twitter showing a restoration screen asking the user to plug in the iPhone into a Mac. Of course, we've all seen that before. But what's different in the beta image that Mouton published is that the tip of the cable doesn't look like the distinctive Lightning cable. Instead, it appears to be a USB-C.
After Mouton published the image, users started wondering whether Apple is finally making a big change to the iPhone and allowing for USB-C connectivity instead of Lightning. The move would allow the iPhone to take advantage of faster charging and would ultimately translate to more compatibility with accessories that support USB-C, but not necessarily Lightning.
MORE: iOS 13 Unveiled: New Features, Release Date, Beta and More
There have been some rumors that Apple could ultimately go with USB-C in the iPhone and would at least consider it this year. If so, it's possible that the iPhone 11 could finally catch up to some of its competitors that support USB-C and have faster charging than the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.
Then again, it's possible there's nothing to see here. The image shows a USB-C cable, but it's being inserted into a Mac. Apple sells Macs with USB-C ports. It's far more likely, given Apple's history, that the cable is simply an adapter that connects the Lightning on an iPhone to the USB-C on a Mac.
But that might not be the worst thing. Even if Apple is sticking with the Lightning port, the company could decide to bundle a Lightning-to-USB-C cable with the iPhone and create a similar experience that takes advantage of USB-C without actually having a USB-C port in the iPhone.
Whatever the case, it appears likely that Apple will be making an upgrade in charging seed when it launches its next handsets later this year. See our in-depth iPhone 11 rumors page to keep on all of the latest news.

The 1970 National League Championship Series was a match-up between the East Division champion Pittsburgh Pirates and the West Division champion Cincinnati Reds. The Reds swept the Pirates three games to none and went on to lose the World Series to the Baltimore Orioles. The series was the second NLCS.

The series was notable for featuring the first postseason baseball played on artificial turf (which was used in both ballparks, which both also opened at midseason). It was also the first of ten NLCS series between 1970 and 1980 that featured either of the Pennsylvania-based MLB clubs representing the NL East, the Philadelphia Phillies or the Pittsburgh Pirates. The only time neither team appeared in the NLCS during that period was in 1973, when the New York Mets won the NL East.

Due to a one-day strike by major league umpires, the series was begun using four minor league umpires, with the regularly assigned crew—including union president Wendelstedt—returning for Games 2 and 3.

Summary

Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

Game summaries

Game 1

Cincinnati boasted dual heroes in subduing the Pirates in the opening game. Gary Nolan, an 18-game winner during the regular season, pitched nine shutout innings to edge Dock Ellis. Nolan departed for pinch-hitter Ty Cline in the 10th,inning which turned out to be a stroke of genius by Reds manager Sparky Anderson. Cline socked a triple to lead off the inning. He scored the decisive run on Pete Rose's single, and Lee May doubled to provide two insurance tallies, sealing Ellis' fate. Reliever Clay Carroll protected Nolan's victory by holding Pittsburgh hitless in the 10th.

Another key contributor was second baseman Tommy Helms. With Pirate runners on second and third inning, Dave Cash rifled a shot to Helms' right. Helms' diving stop and quick throw to first prevented two runs.

Game 2

The Reds continued to pound the Pirates in Game 2. Bobby Tolan was a complete mystery to Buc starter Luke Walker. Bobby began his three-hit salvo with a single in the third inning. He stole second base and wound up at third on catcher Manny Sanguillén's wild peg into center field. Walker's wild pitch permitted Tolan to score. Bobby delivered his kayo punch in the fifth, belting a home run over the wall in right-center, and capped his big day with a single off relieve Dave Giusti in the eighth.

Lefty Jim Merritt, Cincinnati's lone 20-game winner, was the second-game starter. Arm trouble had kept Merritt on the shelf in the closing weeks of the regular season, but Manager Anderson had precedent going for him in this case. Merritt had beaten the Pirates six times in six starts over the two-year period. He made it seven for seven by lasting  innings this time. Carroll relieved Merritt in the sixth, but gave up two hits and had retired only one batter when Anderson signaled for Gullett.

That did it. Gullett shut off the Pirate threat immediately, striking out the side in the seventh and finishing with  hitless innings for the save.

Game 3

The Pirates started the Game 3 scoring by a run in the first inning off Tony Cloninger, who averted disaster three times before Anderson finally yanked him for a pinch-hitter in the fifth with the score 2–2. The slugging Reds uncorked their only power show of the playoffs in the first inning, Tony Pérez and Johnny Bench smacking successive homers off Bob Moose. Pirate starter Moose showed more courage than stuff in the early going. But he hung on and proceeded to halt the Reds until he had two outs in the eighth. Then he walked pinch-hitter Ty Cline and gave up a single to Pete Rose.

With Tolan coming up, Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh brought in lefty Joe Gibbon. Tolan whacked a single to left. Cline took off from second and sped for the plate. he arrived just a hair ahead of Willie Stargell's peg, and the Reds had a 3–2 lead. The Reds had a pitching star in this one, too, young Milt Wilcox, who worked three shutout innings in relief of Cloninger and earned the victory. Wilcox vanished for pinch-hitter Cline in the eighth. Wayne Granger tried to protect the Reds' 3–2 lead in the ninth, but was removed with two down and a runner on first. Gullett was Anderson's choice to wrap it up. The teenager wasn't invincible this time, yielding a single to Stargell. But with runners on first and third, Al Oliver swung at Gullett's first pitch and grounded to Helms and the NL pennant belongs to the Reds, their first in nine years.

Grace Bogg Essay
Being an Asian female watching something like this made me really think about the unnecessary limitations that we automatically put on ourselves. Grace Boggs's is out there in Detroit, challenging people's ideas, teaching in a classroom, and having people visit her everyday just to talk about her preaching's. The opening to the movie is what really got me thinking-it's the scene of her present day self, which shows her full of white hair and wrinkles, walking down with a stretcher on the streets of Detroit. Through out the whole movie there are many flashbacks that include pictures and scenes of her younger self doing exactly what she's doing now: changing people's lives. It's inspiring to see that even though she has changed physically and have aged quite a lot, she's still passionate about her teachings and beliefs.

Mexican-American Equal Education
One specific church, a Baptist church, was welcoming to the Hispanic community and fed the children during the day, but everything was bare boned and extremely minimal. Eventually, people began to get even more frustrated with the integrated schools. Soon after the integration began, Race Riots began. Parents were attacking children of the opposite race, and parents were attacking parents because of their race. The integration, strike schools, and race riots go to show that the way that segregation was ended may have not been the best way to do it, but it was a start for the process.

Weston, Mr Eustace Moriarty (mining engineering, economic geology)
Born: 1873, Tasmania, Australia.
Died: 22 December 1927, Ladismith, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Eustace M. Weston, mining engineer, was an associate of the Ballarat School of Mines in New South Wales, Australia. By 1907 he was the manager of Rand Collieries, Ltd., and in 1911 lectured in mining at the South African School of Mines and Technology, Johannesburg (later the University of the Witwatersrand).
He was an associate of the Chemical, Metallurgical and Mining Society of South Africa and in 1905/6 contributed "Notes on the construction and practical operation of rock-drilling machines" to its Journal (Vol. 6). Subsequent papers by him in the same journal dealt with "The theory of blasting with high explosives" (1908), "A new method of lighting fuse" (1910/11), and "Gold production in relation to humanity" (1912/13). During this period he also published what was probably his most important contribution to mining engineering, Rock drills: Design, construction and use (New York, 1910, 367p). He also published a small (undated) treatise entitled Practical mining on the Rand (Johannesburg, 55p) and a paper on "Tin mining and ore dressing in South Africa" (Engineering and Mining Journal, New York, 1910).
From 1913 to 1921 Weston published several papers on economically important mineral deposits: "Bushveld tin deposits" (Mining Magazine, London, 1913); "Tin deposits near Cape Town" (South African Mining Journal, 1914); "Notes on an underground spring of water containing manganese and lithium" (Journal of the Chemical, Metallurgical and Mining Society of South Africa, 1916/7); "Bwana M'Kubwa Copper Mine, North Rhodesia" (Ibid, 1919/20); "Copper prospects in Namaqualand" (South African Mining and Engineering Journal, 1919); and "Occurrence of platinum in South Africa" (Engineering and Mining Journal, 1921).
In 1917 Weston protested to the government of the Union of South Africa against the locking up of mineral deposits along the Mozambique border that would result from converting the game reserves there into a National Park. In 1924 he applied for permission to prospect for gold and platinum in the Shingwidzi Game Reserve (now part of the Kruger National Park).
Weston resided in Johannesburg, where he married his second wife, Mary Louisa Priestly. He had one daughter from his first marriage.

Haunting images of white supremacists with rage in their eyes, hate in their hearts and lit torches in their fists marching in Charlottesville flooded social media and news outlets over the weekend. This new generation of Nazis and racists gathered for the Unite the Right rally and exposed themselves to the world, no longer concealed by white hoods and online usernames.
As many stared at the images in incredulous horror, the unrest and violence intensified. Patriots took a stand for true American values and against hatred in counter protests in Charlottesville. More than 30 were injured. One hero, Heather Heyer, was brutally killed as she boldly stood against white supremacy.
The melee at Charlottesville showed us that there are actual people behind the usernames angrily typing racist comments in response to news articles. There are people gaining notoriety in their particular hate groups. There are people behind the growing numbers of white supremacists in our communities.
Behind every flame that illuminated the dark skies of Charlottesville is a person.
Surrounded by the fire of like-minded individuals who shared the same hatred and phobias, they saw they weren't alone. They didn't feel the need to conceal their faces. They removed their shirts to expose the swastikas tattoos on their chests. They proudly waved Confederate flags and symbols of white supremacy.
When we look directly into the eyes of these people who possess such hate, one alarming question is asked—who are they?
They are our neighbors. You may have politely smiled at them when passing on the sidewalk. They may take classes at the nearby university. They may determine whether or not you get a mortgage. They may be ahead of you in the carpool lane when you drop your kids off at school. They may share a pew with you Sunday morning.
They're Americans. They live among us in our communities. They vote.
They may lurk in the eerie corners of the Internet you don't dare go. They may cowardly hang recruitment posters after nightfall. When you've seen evidence of their existence, you may have brushed it off because the thought of a hate group so close to home sent shivers down your spine.
Now they're looking all of us in the face. One point I actually agree with them on is that we need to see them. We've been turning a blind eye and dismissing the hatred in our country for far too long.
The president of the United States issued a ban on refugees in Muslim-majority countries in an effort, in his words, to prevent terrorism. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security concluded that the people affected by this ban posed absolutely no terror risk. But despite the ineffectiveness, Trump still touts national security to be the motivating factor behind the ban. We should ban them all just in case one terrorist sneaks through.
Despite President Trump routinely bragging about stock market gains as evidence of his administration's effect on the economy, he also believes $70 billion is a bargain when it comes to protecting our national security with a border wall.
Red hats with the "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan can be easily spotted among the torch-wielding white supremacists in Charlottesville. Is the return of espoused hatred the greatness they had in mind?
When looking to combat terrorism, those who wish harm on us and American values, we don't have to look far. We can put America first. The face of evil marched in Charlottesville and live among us in our communities. There are terrorists within our borders that now feel that America is now a safe haven for their repulsive code of bigotry.
Before Heather Heyer left her home to take a stand against white supremacy, she posted on social media — "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." It's beyond time to pay attention. It's time to be outraged.

Urban art to tour 10-plus county libraries
Marina Gaytan
mgaytan@visaliatimesdelta.com
When you walk into the Tulare County Visalia Branch Library, among the books and magazines, you might catch a glimpse of some graffiti. But don't be alarmed, the colorful spray paint pieces are part of an art tour meant to highlight local talent and bring awareness to some local programs.
The fifth annual Step Up Urban Art Tour kicked off Wednesday in Visalia and will make stops at several libraries throughout the county.
Each 3-foot-by-3-foot canvas is dedicated to the Tulare County Office of Education's CHOICES program, an after school activity designed for children. The canvases also feature the CHOICES owl.
This year, tour organizers added two sites to the list of libraries the artwork will visit — Tipton and Ivanhoe.
"We basically expanded it each year to make sure we go to those unincorporated communities," said Allison Pierce, program administrator for Step Up. "For the unincorporated communities, I sense that they value the art and they're excited about it."
Artists from Bakersfield, Fresno and Hollister created the one-of-a-kind pieces back in October during a Taste the Arts contest held in Visalia. While 8-foot-by-8-foot canvases were originally created at the event, small versions of the pieces are touring the library.
During the contest, artists were only allowed to use the aerosol paint given to them to create something within a four-hour time frame. The winner, Moses Garcia of Fresno, won $500 and his own set of specialty spray paint.
Pierce said the event from the time of the contest is held in October, to the tour kickoff in January, brings awareness to Step Up, its vision and promotes responsible spray paint art. The tour also helps start the conversation about what's considered vandalism and what's considered art.
"If that's something you're interested in doing, let's get you plugged into working on a canvas instead of damaging property," Pierce said about what comes up in those types of conversations. "It may be spray paint art, but it's beautiful."
Pierce said children and young adults who visit the library during the tour are very interested in the pieces and tend to ask questions about the artwork, the artists and the program.
Florencia Wright, branch manager at the Visalia library, said people of all ages and backgrounds who visit the library, get really excited about the artwork.
"Almost everyone who passes by will see it," she said. "Most people like to read the descriptions of the artwork and choose their favorites."
Each year the Step Up program chooses a nonprofit to highlight during the Urban Art Tour. While the program highlighted the CHOICES program this year, they plan to highlight Visalia Unified School District's "The Pulse" program next year.
A final reception will be held at 6 p.m. March 16 at the Tulare Public Library, 475 North M St., Tulare.
The Step Up Program is part of a county-wide effort to redirect at-risk youth to make positive choices.

The European court of justice has declared the data retention directive illegal, torpedoing UK government schemes for the so-called "snooper's charter" of wide-ranging collection of phone and internet data.
In a judgment delivered on Tuesday, the ECJ, Europe's highest court, declared that the directive is "invalid" because it "interferes in a particularly serious manner with the fundamental rights to respect for private life and to the protection of personal data."
The decision, following requests from the Irish and Austrian courts, is a blow to Theresa May's plans to push through a data retention scheme which would collect and store data from UK citizens' internet and phone use for up to 12 months for later examination.
Any criminal cases which rested on acquisition of data through the directive could also be called into question, because the court decided that "the declaration of invalidity takes effect from the date on which the directive entered into force" – that is, 2006.
The ECJ said that it weighed the needs of law enforcement to be able to keep and access data, but judged that "by adopting the Data Retention Principle, the EU legislature has exceeded the limits imposed by compliance with the principle of proportionality."
The idea of a "snooper's charter" that would allow the government to order internet service providers and phone companies to collect and store data for up to two years has been a source of controversy within the UK's coalition government, with the deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, telling the home secretary, Theresa May, in December 2012 that it was unworkable in.
The pressure group Privacy International called the ECJ ruling "strong and unequivocal", saying that "the right to privacy provides a fundamental barrier between the individual and powerful institutions, and laws allowing for indiscriminate, blanket retention on this scale are completely unacceptable.
"As the court states, it is not, and never was, proportionate to spy on the entire population of Europe. The types of data retained under this hastily enacted directive are incredibly revealing about our lives, including our daily activities and whom we have relationships with. It is right and overdue that this terrible directive was struck down."
European governments will now have to to draft new legislation on data scrutiny to help prevent serious crimes such as terrorism, while also narrowing the law's scope to conform with the verdict.
"Data retention for the purpose of investigating serious crimes is necessary and that remains the case," the German interior minister, Thomas de Maizière, told reporters after the ruling, urging quick agreement on more narrowly defined new legislation.
Germany, the most populous of the EU's 28 nations, did not implement the directive amid court challenges and domestic political differences.
The 2006 legislation required telecommunication firms to store phonecalls or online communication records for at least six months and up to two years. The data typically reveals who was involved in the communication, where it originated, when and how often but not its content.
Still, the Luxembourg-based court ruled the legislation provided "very precise information on private lives," including daily habits and social relationships that represented a "particularly serious interference with fundamental rights".
The Green European parliament lawmaker, Jan Philipp Albrecht, called the ruling "a major victory for civil rights in Europe" and insisted the data collection also "totally failed to lead to any noticeable improvement in law enforcement."
The EU court said also the legislation's failure to ensure the storage of communication data in the EU alone also represented a potential breach of privacy laws.

TALLAHASSEE — Gaining weight has been a problem for backup Florida State quarterback Clint Trickett.
The somewhat gangly Trickett just couldn't put pounds on his 6-foot-1 frame no matter how much he'd try. He weighed 155 pounds when he enrolled 21 months ago and is listed at 180 now — though he looks closer to 155.
After a round of medical tests over the summer, Trickett was diagnosed with Celiac disease — a disorder which does not allow the body to process foods that contain gluten. The 20-year-old Trickett has been forced to dramatically change his diet to eliminate foods that include breads and he says he has gained a couple of pounds in recent weeks.
Trickett changed his diet and within a month started to see results.
He's still loading up on calories but is avoiding the sandwich shops and pizza joints and opting instead for the school cafeteria or restaurants that serve rice, potatoes and beans. He can also eat most meats.
Trickett's ability to add a few pounds becomes even more significant since he's been pressed into playing in the absence of injured starter EJ Manuel.
Trickett came in during the second half of a 23-13 loss to Oklahoma on Sept. 17, and then made his first college start against Clemson where he completed 24 of 38 passes for 336 yards, three touchdowns in a 35-30 loss to the Tigers last Saturday.
Fisher said Manuel has begun to throw a little bit, but that it's too early to know if he'll be ready to play when the 23rd-ranked Seminoles return to action Oct. 8 at Wake Forest. Florida State is off this weekend.

Jennifer Garner Became Thrilled Because from Now Ben Affleck Is Someone Else's Responsibility
Aug 30, 2022 by Jackson
It has been almost six years now since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner parted their ways. Ben Affleck broke his engagement with Lopez and right after this he dated Jennifer Garner in the year 2004.
In the year 2005, after two years of beautiful relations, the actors finally decided to get married to each other but unfortunately, after ten years of happy married life in 2015, they gave up on each other. In the year 2018, the former couple's divorce was finalized.
Garner met Affleck for the very first time when the shooting, of Daredevil, was going on in 2003. After some time Ben fell in love with Garner and decided to propose to her at the celebration of her 33rd birthday. She said yes and the couple tied the knot after two months.
A post shared by Jennifer Garner (@jennifer.garner)
Garner and Ben have three kids together two daughters; Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and one 10-year-old son named Samuel.
The couple co-parented their children since their split, and Garner has also been very supportive of Ben throughout these years.
For all these years the pair have been supporting each other in the matter of their kids even after separation they co-parented their kids.
"She staged an intervention and got him to go to rehab in August 2018 for alcohol addiction, and even drove him to the clinic."
"Garner was nowhere to be seen when Affleck, 50, walked down the aisle for his lavish, wedding ceremony with Jennifer Lopez, 53, last Saturday — but that doesn't mean she wasn't happy about it." Page Six wrote.
An outlet revealed that one of the insiders told that she was not present at the wedding ceremony of Jennifer. Although she was fine with their marriage decision.
"I'm sure she's thrilled to get rid of her fourth child," a source told Page Six.
"The 50-year-old actress was all smiles as she was pictured at Sam's Club in South Charleston, W. Va., on Saturday hours before J. Lo and Affleck wed for a second time."
"She appeared to be joined by her father, William, along with her businessman boyfriend John Miller, for the outing and was spotted posing for a photo with a fan."
According to another source who knows the ex-couple, "Jen has always approached things the same, no matter who Ben has been with. They have kids together — so if he has another episode, or falls off the wagon, it would be her problem."
"Jen is a great mother, she has really mothered those kids — and it's great that she doesn't have to have a fourth child anymore."

Just because a health care provider offers a treatment doesn't mean that person is qualified to perform the treatment. Ask for references, talk to patients and confirm certifications.
Unlike a health problem or medical condition, nonsurgical aesthetic treatments are entirely optional. You don't have to fill in those wrinkles, erase those broken blood vessels or minimize that redness. You do it because you want to.
Only licensed health care professionals can purchase onabotulinumtoxinA. Plastic surgeons or dermatologists routinely administer onabotulinumtoxinA , although any physician with special training in facial anatomy may perform the injections. Some states also allow nonphysicians such as registered nurses or physician assistants to administer the drug if they are directly supervised by a physician. Regardless of who administers your injection, always ask to see the vial and look for the manufacturer's safety hologram to ensure you are treated with authentic product.
It only takes a few minutes to be treated with onabotulinumtoxinA, and the effects last up to four months. Botox Cosmetic costs an average of $350 to $500 per area of treatment, and costs vary across the country based on a number of factors. Some aesthetic specialty physicians charge by the unit of product. This allows them to charge more or less depending upon the specific patient's need. Be sure to ask your physician the estimated total cost of your treatment.
Potential risks include allergic reaction, headache, bruising (if injections occur while taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications or if you've had alcohol within the previous week), redness and numbness at the injection site. There is a slight risk of paralysis of nerves adjacent to the injection site. If you are pregnant, nursing or have a medical condition, make sure you discuss the possible risks with your physician. OnabotulinumtoxinA is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.
Hyaluronic acid fillers (Elevess, Hylaform, Juvéderm, Voluma, Perlane, Restylane and others). Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found throughout all living animals. It absorbs more than 1,000 times its weight in water, thus adding volume to the skin's surface. With age, however, hyaluronic acid concentrations drop, causing wrinkles and folds. These fillers are used to temporarily replace lost hyaluronic acid and restore skin volume.Hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections typically take less than 30 minutes to perform. Hyaluronic acid injections last between three and five months, depending on your body chemistry, lifestyle and the rate at which you are aging. Most people receive new injections two to three times a year.
Collagen fillers (CosmoPlast, CosmoDerm, Zyderm, Zyplast and others). Collagen is a protein substance found in all human and animal tissue. It makes your skin, bones and ligaments tough while providing structure. Collagen is often used for filling wrinkles and lines and scars on your face, neck and back. Zyderm and Zyplast cosmetic injections use collagen from cattle, called "bovine collagen." CosmoPlast and CosmoDerm injections use highly purified human collagen, a natural protein that supports the skin and helps replenish collagen lost with time, exposure to sunlight and other factors. Other collagens used in cosmetic procedures include collagen from human cadaver skin that has been sterilized, purified and processed into a liquid form. Brand names of this form include Cymetra, Dermalogen and Fascian. These fillers are rarely used anymore.Collagen injections typically take less than an hour, and for best results, should be repeated every one to two months. Plastic surgeons and dermatologists are best suited for providing collagen injections. Rare side effects include the formation of small, temporary bumps beneath the skin, infection and scarring.
Polylactic acid is a compound used in numerous medical products, such as stitches and screws used to repair broken bones. Although Polylactic acid has only been approved to restore shape and contour to the faces of those with AIDS, it is often used "off label" for cosmetic treatments. Polylactic acid treatments do not produce immediate results because they stimulate college production, so it may take up to a few months the full effect. Although polylactic acid is considered semipermanent, you may need an occasional touch-up treatment. Brand names include Sculptra and New-Fill.
Chemical peels. A chemical solution is "painted" onto your face to literally "peel away" damaged top layers of skin. Solutions range from mild alpha hydroxy acids to stronger acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol. It takes from 15 minutes to two hours for a chemical peel, depending on the strength of the peel.Chemical peels cost an average of $764; specific cost depends on the strength. Aestheticians may perform mild peels. Plastic surgeons or dermatologists are your best bet for stronger peels.
Microdermabrasion. A more superficial form of dermabrasion (described below), microdermabrasion uses crystals or a diamond tip to lightly smooth the top layer of your skin. It is used for fine lines, crow's feet, age spots and superficial acne scars. Microdermabrasion takes about 30 minutes and requires no anesthesia. For best results, many people start with a microdermabrasion treatment every two weeks and then move to one per month as maintenance. Each session costs about $154.Microdermabrasion may be performed by aestheticians, licensed cosmetologists, plastic surgeons or dermatologists. Complications are rare.
Aging, sunlight, smoking and dryness all contribute to the wrinkles, brown spots, large pores, redness and other imperfections women try to correct with nonsurgical cosmetic treatments. For instance, as you age, the top layer of skin doesn't turn over as often, leaving dead skin cells on the surface longer and giving your features a dull appearance and texture. This is also when the sun damage of your youth comes back to haunt you. That sun created free radicals that broke down the collagen in your skin, as well as the elastin fibers that keep skin flexible. If you've spent a lot of time in the sun, your skin may even have a leathery appearance.
Protecting yourself against the damaging effects of the sun by wearing sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Put it on just like you put on moisturizer every morning (many moisturizers contain sunscreen), even if it's cloudy outside. Just sitting near a window or riding in a car exposes your skin to the sun's rays.
Stopping the aging process and living eternally has been an enduring human desire, sought by Egyptian pharaohs, Chinese emperors, and Ponce de Leon's search for the Fountain of Youth. Cosmetic medicine has developed a number of nonsurgical procedures that can camouflage the effects of sun exposure and the passing years. These procedures seem to be gaining in popularity versus surgical procedures.
Chemical peels use a variety of substances to damage the skin in order to exfoliate the outer layers. The depth of the peel depends on the type of chemical, its concentration, and the length of time it remains on the skin. Glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and phenol are some of the chemicals used in cosmetic peels. There is an improvement over the skin's pre-peel state after the skin heals.
The use of lasers is just one of many approaches to the treatment of brown spots or patches, including "pregnancy mask" (melasma). The doctor will determine the best treatment depending on the patient's skin color, the extent of discoloration, and their experience.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) technology exposes human tissues to broad spectrum (non-laser) light sources that produce sufficient heat to destroy colored molecules that can absorb the light. In the case of human tissue, this involves melanin (skin pigment) and hemoglobin (blood pigment). When used appropriately on aged or pigmented skin, IPL can improve the skin's appearance.
Cosmetic fillers add substance to skin in order to lift up areas that are sinking. Certain wrinkles, depressed scars, and hollows can be camouflaged using this technique. The substances that have been used are varied and include one's own fat or fibroblasts, poly-L-lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, polymethylmethacrylate beads, and even silicone. Some of these substances produce improvement by enhancing collagen in the area injected, which adds volume to the tissue beneath the skin, and helps smooth the appearance of lines or wrinkles.
The anatomy of the aging face is now better understood than in the past. Aside from increased wrinkling, there is a loss of fat in the cheeks and temples, and an increase in fat in the neck. As shown in this photograph, a filler has been used to plump a woman's sunken cheek area.
Just because a health care provider offers a treatment doesn't mean that person is qualified to perform the treatment. Ask for references, talk to patients and confirm certifications. Plastic surgeons and dermatologists are the most qualified professionals available to provide most nonsurgical aesthetic treatments.
What are the most important things I should know about nonsurgical aesthetic treatments?Nonsurgical aesthetic treatments are medical procedures, and with any medical procedure there are potential risks. If you have realistic expectations of the results, understand that most treatments are not permanent and may need to be repeated in a few months or a year to maintain results, and carefully research your options and the aesthetic specialty physician who will provide the treatment, you can achieve a natural, refreshed look that enhances your appearance.
Are aesthetic injectable products such as Botox Cosmetic and dermal fillers safe?Yes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews significant clinical data on the safety and effectiveness of all drugs and medical devices before approving them for marketing in the United States. Some products have years of clinical history for other conditions before being approved for cosmetic procedures. Botox, for instance, has been approved in the United States for more nearly 25 years to treat a variety of medical conditions.
Is it really true that I can get a "lunchtime facelift?"That depends on what treatment you're having. Some treatments, like dermal fillers and microdermabrasion, can provide smoother, younger-looking skin in just a few minutes. Others, such as laser resurfacing, may take days or weeks to heal.
What is the best way to find a aesthetic specialty physician who provides nonsurgical aesthetic treatments?Go to the websites of the major plastic surgery and dermatologic societies listed in the Resources section. They have searchable databases allowing you to find physicians in your area who provide cosmetic treatments. Also talk to friends who have had treatments and to your primary health care provider for recommendations. Just make sure you check physician credentials carefully, ensuring they are qualified to perform the specific treatment.
Even though many of these nonsurgical treatments are less expensive than surgery, they're still too expensive for me. Is there any chance my insurance company will pay for part of it?It's highly unlikely. Most insurance companies don't cover elective treatments. However, if you are having a filler for a medical reason, like restoring your appearance after an accident, or if you have loss of fatty tissue related to AIDS, it might be covered. Also you can talk with your physician about financing options.
The idea of getting shots into my face gives me the willies. But I really need to do something to bring back some freshness. Any suggestions?Not all treatments require needles. Facial resurfacing with microdermabrasion or dermabrasion, for instance, are needle-free. To reduce pain associated with aesthetic treatments, your doctor will use either a local anesthetic-to numb the area being worked on-or a general anesthetic, to put you totally out. If you opt for injections, most doctors use topical anesthetics to numb the area first.
How do I know if my doctor is qualified for the aesthetic treatment I want?Ask a potential doctor about his or her credentials. Where was he/she trained? In what specialty did he/she do her residency? Did he/she complete a specialty fellowship? What are his/her board certifications? Also ask where your doctor trained on the treatment you're having. If at any time you don't feel comfortable with the answers or the doctor, find someone else.
My doctor says she has a "cheaper" alternative to the dermal filler I asked about. How can I find out about it?The FDA must approve all medications and medical devices before they can be marketed in the United States. The FDA also approves all devices used in treatments like dermabrasion and laser therapies. Most dermal fillers are considered medical devices.
My doctor is recommending Sculptra dermal filler, but I see it was only FDA-approved for people with AIDS. How can it be used for cosmetic reasons?Once the FDA approves a medical device or drug and it is on the market, physicians can use it for any reason. This is called "off-label" use, and it is legal. Sculptra is often used off label for cosmetic reasons, as are other nonsurgical aesthetic procedures.

Home Media Release Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong relaunches special offers on 12 joint replacement all-inclusive fixed price medical packages for public hospital patients
Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong relaunches special offers on 12 joint replacement all-inclusive fixed price medical packages for public hospital patients
(4 October 2021 – Hong Kong) Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong (Gleneagles) launched last year special offers on all-inclusive fixed-price medical packages to help patients who were affected by the reduction of non-urgent services in public hospitals to receive prompt care. In view of the overwhelming response and the notable demand for joint replacement surgeries, Gleneagles relaunches the exclusive offers to public hospital patients who may join the 12 designated joint replacement all-inclusive fixed-price medical packages at a reduction of 21% from the original fees.
Joint replacement surgery is one of the longest-waiting surgeries in public hospitals. As at 30 June 2021, there were over 32,000 bookings for total joint replacement surgeries in the Orthopaedics & Traumatology department of Hospital Authority with a median waiting time of 20 months to 39 months.
Effective from 4 October 2021, and until 30 November 2021, patients with appointments scheduled for orthopaedics specialist outpatient service in public hospitals are eligible to use the joint replacement packages at a reduction of 21% from the original fees.

Earlier on, we have introduced robotic arm-assisted joint replacement surgery and are looking to provide medical packages on robotic arm-assisted surgeries to provide patients with one more option. By providing more choices to patients, we hope to help reduce the burden of orthopedic surgeries on public hospitals in the long run", Dr Tsang added.

Have you ever tried making noodles from zucchini or any other vegetable? Right now, I'm really finding out just how delicious these veggie noodles can be! Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy regular pasta just as much as the next person, but I'd rather not eat it too often. But sometimes you just want pasta, and this dish will have you swooning and going back for seconds.
There is something truly satisfying about knowing exactly what your noodles are made of. I have found that veggie noodles can easily substitute spaghetti, fettuccini, and even angel hair pasta. They're fresh, flavorful, and nutrient dense and taste so good, you juuuuust might forget about those other "empty-carb" noodles. Zucchini noodles are super simple to make, all you need are a few zucchinis and a spiralizer !
Alright, so first things first, carefully cut a medium sized butternut squash down the middle, scoop out the seeds, and then pop it in a 375 degree oven (face down) for 45 minutes to an hour.
While we're waiting it's time to make the zucchini noodles.
To make the zucchini noodles for this recipe, start out with fresh, firm, preferably organic zucchini. Clean them under running water and then cut the ends off. Next, run them through your spiralizer (this one is my favorite because you can make many different kinds of noodles with the least amount of waste). I have also used this one and this one with good results. I used about 4 good sized zucchini and I'd say these made about 4-6 servings worth of noodles.
Once your noodles are made, set them aside for now because it's time to make the best sauce you'll ever taste!
1. While the butternut squash is cooking, sauté one medium yellow onion (until translucent) and 3-4 cloves of garlic (until fragrant) and then set aside.
2. Once the butternut squash is fork tender, scoop out all of the flesh once it's cool enough to handle.
3. Pull out your Vitamix , Blendtec , Food Processor , or other blender of choice and throw in all of the butternut flesh, the onions and garlic, a large pinch of dried rosemary or Herbes de Provence , 1 can of FULL fat coconut cream , ¾ tsp of sea salt , a hefty crack of fresh black pepper , and a splash of bone broth or chicken stock.
4. Blend everything until smooth.
5. Now it's time to heat up a skillet with coconut oil (I like this one ) or butter and begin pan frying the noodles.
6. You want them to be juuuust cooked through. If they create a lot of liquid, now is the time to remove it or your sauce will be to runny (I just use a folded paper towel).
7. Once the excess liquid is removed, add in the sauce with the zucchini noodles and sauté until hot.
This looks delicious! I love zucchini noodles and creamy sauces.
Sounds delicious! I need to get a spiralizer. Such a fun meal.
I love zucchini noodle… and squash. Will definitely try this.
This recipe looks amazing, love the coconut cream! We'd all love this; and it's perfect for my dairy-free daughter.
Fabulous! Love zoodles and love BNS! Greta combo!

Missouri officials: Hairstylist with COVID-19 serviced nearly 100 clients while sick
BY KAELAN DEESE - 05/23/20 12:59 PM EDT
A hairstylist at a Great Clips in Missouri exposed nearly 100 people to COVID-19 as she continued working even after exhibiting symptoms of the virus.
The Kansas City Star reported that the woman serviced 84 clients and exposed seven other employees at the salon, according to the Springfield-Greene County Health Department Friday.
While some states in the U.S. still prohibit salons and other "close contact" businesses from reopening due to pandemic lockdown restrictions, Missouri allowed salon businesses to reopen on May 4.
Health officials said the hairstylist showed symptoms while working between May 12 and May 20, adding that virus tests would be distributed to those who were "directly exposed" to her.
Both the stylist and clients were reportedly wearing masks throughout the week.
The Great Clips franchise owners told McClatchy News the salon would be sanitized and cleaned under the county health department's guidelines and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) guidelines, according to the report.
"The well-being of Great Clips customers and stylists in the salon is our top priority and proper sanitization has always been an important cosmetology industry practice for Great Clips salons," the franchise owners said.
Springfield-Greene County Health Department Director Clay Goddard commended the salon's response, but said more accidental exposures such as this could not continue to happen.
"We can't make this a regular habit or our capability as a community will be strained and we will have to re-evaluate what things look like going forward," Goddard said. "Each of us owns just how this will go forward in our community."
