Hi! Welcome to my art studio! My lovely 6-year-old daughter and self-proclaimed photographer took my portrait above! I'm surrounded by my inspirational art and that is my favorite non-family oriented thing to do. I like to express my faith and uplifting verse in colorful style. Visit my Etsy store to see my whole collection of inspiring art prints.
I love to paint, but I also express my faith in many other ways. You'll find loads of fun ideas for your "home, celebrations, and life" here in my blog and also in my book Inspirational Home: simple ideas for uplifting décor and craft. This fun resource is packed with unique do-it-yourself home accents and gifts with Christian themes. If you desire to share your hope in subtle, stylish and creative ways, please check it out!
To provide unique, stylish Christian gifts, home decor and decorating ideas, I opened Creative Faith Place (www.creativefaithplace.com), a Christian home, gift and idea showplace in 2002. It encouraged fellow Christians to embellish their home and gift giving with reflections of their faith. Its boutique style filled a need for top quality inspirational gifts and home accents, offering products not typically available in traditional Christian bookstores. A majority were original designs, which were also sold wholesale to dozens of "brick and mortar" retail stores nationwide.
As the site and my family grew, I needed to restructure, refocus my attentions back to design and simplify. I decided to sell out the retail portion of creativefaithplace.com. Store traffic is being routed to a wonderful (and larger) Christian company – DaySpring.com. They began to carry many products from my line and I worked with them on creative – developing new products. They offer an assortment of my paintings, too. In addition, we worked together on a collection for Hallmark Gold Crown stores. "Simply Inspiring by Jeanne Winters" is a bright assortment of uplifting gifts for all occasions.
Some of my Christmas art is available in photo cards from Studio DaySpring! They offer incredible personalization and customization! Look under the horizontal option, then "illustrative" to view my art. Check them out here.
My art is an iPhone app!! Fun! Look up "Scripture Signs by Jeanne Winters" in itunes to get some of my vintage art on your digital device!
After years in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Connecticut I now live in the sunny southwest, with hubby and two kiddos. THANK YOU for coming by to soak in the sunshine with me!! I appreciate you! And all your comments and emails! Follow me on twitter. Like me on Facebook, etc. All that jazz! Please use the search tab in the sidebar to find loads of home, gift, holiday, occasion and everyday Inspiring Ideas!!!

I readily admit I am a packaholic.
Empassioned commitment to packing light.
Pulling out unreasonably large suitcases.
Finally caving and adding two back-up outfits, just in case something goes terribly wrong.
It goes much the same with accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, electronics.
My spirit animal may as well be a the hermit crab come alive from the pages of a children's book. When I travel I feel myself turn hell-bent on trying to cram every last little article of clothing into my suitcase.
It stems from deeply-rooted anxiety.
The scrutiny of women's bodies is enormous, and it's an all the more pernicious weed when it grows internally. Its prickly fronds and thick roots are fed by public commentary, bad hair days, and clothes that don't fit just right every single day.
Each anxiety is a nasty, gnarly little weed getting in the way of my joy.
A great deal of my time is spent worrying about my appearance, and traveling amplifies this. At first thought, I can't understand it.
But then the therapist in me says, "Dig a little deeper, darling."
Anxiety stems from fear. It's a fear of the uncertain, the unfamiliar, and the unknown. It leaves too much to chance. For ardent little control freaks like myself, traveling to new places means an unfamiliar climate, places, social events lay ahead.
As an American woman who grew up poor, my first foray into the world of travel was a college field trip into Mexico. For the longest time, I couldn't even afford a passport, let alone consider purchasing plane tickets, hotels, or travel insurance.
This very large and very important gap in development experience has been critical. Cultural immersion is not just about whimsy and wonder, it's also about resilience, socialization, and sense of self. I can tell you from firsthand experience that it's exceptionally difficult to maintain a strong sense of small-town sense when you get out into the big-wide-world. Doing this as an adult can be somewhat earth-shattering.
That kind of metaphorical tending creates a hell of a lot of uncertainty in a single person.
So, when I start preparing to travel, I'm not just preparing for the wonder and whimsy. I'm preparing for all of the possible what if situations, instead of just trusting in myself and my capabilities. After all, I've managed to navigate six other countries since that day-trip to Mexico nearly a decade ago.
Who cares if I only bring one pair of heels? If it doesn't quite match the skirt and the dress I want to bring?
The good news is that I am finally getting a handle on the concept of the "capsule wardrobe" and its true purpose. Minimalism isn't always about limiting choice for the sake of less. Instead, it's about freeing up oneself from the belief that I have to travel with my entire wardrobe, just in case, and instead freeing up the time and energy inherent in packing too much.
If you find yourself in the same boat, throw an "Amen!" down in the comments or browse these other blogs that I have been drawing inspiration from. I'm mentally and physically exhausted from carrying overburdened suitcases and still agonizing about what I'll wear when I get to my destination. So let's do a little gardening and yank out the weeds getting in our way of truly enjoying our travels.
Anuschka's work is all about intention and purpose. Her blog, book, and workbook help women develop a wardrobe they want and need without compromising ethics, comfort, or style.
This article was a huge eye-opener for me! At no point in my life can I remember a role model or woman in my life telling me to sit down and map out my personal style, the environments I dress for, or stipulations I have for my wardrobe. I consider this to be a go-to article for any woman trying to figure out where to start. It's a one-pager and go-by, and Amelia even provides a little history sound-bite of how capsule wardrobes came to be.
Everything about this blog speaks to my soul. Jessica is a professional photographer and travel, life, and style blogger. What makes her blog stand out as exceptional in comparison to so many others out there is that she demonstrates exactly what and how she packs for each trip, and she shares the tips she has learned along the way. Any time I travel, I check her travel map first to see if she has gone posted some tip or tidbit. Plus, her photography is simply stunning!
I love Allison's blog because it shows that a capsule wardrobe doesn't have to be so minimal that it's limiting. I also love how she isn't afraid to share her wardrobe journey and or some really good advice (scroll down until you see her thoughts on body image). The Thoughtful Closet is polished, cozy, and best of all, it's real.
Bee and her beau. If only I could convince my husband to dress so dapper!
My favorite part of Bee's website is her 10x10 Challenge. Pick ten items of clothing and style them over 10 days. Brilliant, right?! Her Closet Mission is also a great place to start for identifying things like shopping triggers, responsible (ethical) shopping, and figuring out what your style color palette really is. Her website is so practical and the steps are easy to follow. It's like SMART goal planning for style.

Christian(us) Wierstraet (belegt 1466–1475 überwiegend in Neuss; † vielleicht um 1490) war Stadtschreiber und Notar der Stadt Neuss.

Leben

Bekannt wurde er durch seine Chronik über die Belagerung von Neuss durch Karl den Kühnen im Jahr 1474/75. Damals war er bereits einige Jahre lang in Neuss als "Notarius" tätig, beispielsweise als "Christian Weierstraiß" am 16. August 1471. Wierstraet hatte wohl eine geistliche Ausbildung genossen und gehörte dem Erzstift Köln als Geistlicher an. Er starb angeblich 1496 in Neuss, wofür man das Totenbuch des Klarissenklosters Neuss als Quelle anführt.

Karl Tücking schreibt allerdings zum Sterbejahr:

Anna Wierstrais, Priorin des Klarissenklosters in Neuss wird in Urkunde 231 der Urkunden und Akten aus dem Archiv der Klarissen zu Neuss genannt. Die Urkunde 231 ist auf den 20. November 1626 datiert.

Karl Meisen betonte, dass der im Klarissen-Totenbuch zu 1596 (nicht: 1496) genannte Christian Weißerstraß, Vater der Priorin, nicht der Chronist sein könne. Das Todesdatum ist daher offen.

Geschichtskultur

Heute gibt es in Neuss eine Christian-Wierstraet-Schule als Städtische Realschule für Jungen und Mädchen im Neusser Stadtteil Furth.
Es gibt in Neuss den Wierstraet Weg – entlang dem Westlichen Teil der Stadtmauer am Erftmühlgraben lang.

Convert 310 Milliseconds to Nanoseconds
To calculate 310 Milliseconds to the corresponding value in Nanoseconds, multiply the quantity in Milliseconds by 1000000 (conversion factor). In this case we should multiply 310 Milliseconds by 1000000 to get the equivalent result in Nanoseconds:
310 Milliseconds x 1000000 = 310000000 Nanoseconds
310 Milliseconds is equivalent to 310000000 Nanoseconds.
How to convert from Milliseconds to Nanoseconds
The conversion factor from Milliseconds to Nanoseconds is 1000000. To find out how many Milliseconds in Nanoseconds, multiply by the conversion factor or use the Time converter above. Three hundred ten Milliseconds is equivalent to three hundred ten million Nanoseconds.
Definition of Millisecond
A millisecond (from milli- and second; symbol: ms) is a thousandth (0.001 or 10−3 or 1/1000) of a second.
Definition of Nanosecond
A nanosecond (symbol: ns) is an SI unit of time equal to one billionth of a second (10−9 or 1/1,000,000,000 s). One nanosecond is to one second as one second is to 31.71 years. The word nanosecond is formed by the prefix nano and the unit second. A nanosecond is equal to 1000 picoseconds or 1⁄1000 microsecond. Because the next SI unit is 1000 times larger, times of 10−8 and 10−7 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of nanoseconds. Times of this magnitude are commonly encountered in telecommunications, pulsed lasers and some areas of electronics.

Memory capacity on an iPad, in this application, is no longer much of an issue. Cloud storage and hard drive data storage options are plentiful these days. The lower memory capacity models can save you a fair amount of expense without giving up much of anything in the long run.
Why only Apple iPad Pro?
Other cheaper tablets on platforms other than iOS aren't useable for this application. Most if not all don't allow for your hand to rest on the tablet (this is known as palm rejection) as of this writing, which makes using them nearly untenable for this application unless you buy other bulky accessories to hide your hand while you write on the tablet. The iPad Pro is the only tablet that has this advanced feature, a must for auditors. We recommend the 12.9" display, which most closely simulates the size of the accustomed foolscap paper used by auditors in session. It is worth the added expense for the extra size rather than the smaller 11" iPad Pro version available.
Not only can sessions be written down by hand in real time digitally as would be done as usual, but the application can transpose the auditor's handwriting to capital or lowercase typed text characters once selected, and to red ink block (print) typed characters if needed. Thus drastically improving legibility after the session for the case supervisor if the handwriting is accurate enough to be interpreted. If not, it can be corrected by hand easily in the same fashion quickly within the app using the pencil, and it's built-in features for editing. - Reference: 1991 Technical Subject Volume 1 (Page 489 hardback/502 of the PDF document) Auditor Admin Series 14 RA - HCOB 6 November 1987 - "The Worksheets."
Also, post annotation (for interns from Case supervisors) using bold letters, highlighting, adjustment of overlapping text and much more are also available with a tap of the pencil. Anything you can do in a good word processor, pen and ink, and marker in any color can now be done to every session with the pencil and software, keeping it handwritten or turned into text. Making it easy to send digitally and instantly via email or messaging software back and forth without scanning, or having to store it for years in a closet wasting space and risking security breaches, fire, water damage, mice, mold/mildew, and more. Not to mention the value of having back up copies, just in case.
Erasing while writing is smooth and virtually effortless, just simply double tap the Apple pencil itself to clean up your work, or change ink color if you select that option instead in the pencil's settings, then double tap again to return to writing regularly.
Learning the iOS environment is painless and doesn't require a stylus to be used with it unless you want to. A finger can be used instead until you're going in session if you like. However, using the pencil while in auditing is highly recommended. The learning curve for primary use is about five to ten minutes depending on your familiarity with touch screen devices. Learning the suite of gestures and shortcuts takes more time when using the pencil in iOS, but requires no herculean effort to do so. Familiarity comes over a short period by using the tutorials found in the latest version of iOS, or open your tablet's browser to Youtube, or use the Apple app store to locate hundreds of such iOS tutorial videos, free of charge. New functionality is continually being added in the form of iOS updates from Apple for the pencil regularly. These can be found and downloaded under the "General" tab in settings on your tablet automatically if so desired.
The learning curve of the application used for session admin is about 20-30 minutes, of which familiarizing yourself with where all the features are and their result is the bulk of the curve. Most of which is learned just by repeating the tasks a few times as a brief drill. The software we used and tested is quite intuitive and also an industry standard for millions in document creation, note taking, and handwriting capture. New features are added every few weeks by the developers in the form of application updates in the Apple app store, which you become automatically notified of when they become available upon purchase of the application.
Completely new techniques of auditor admin are upon us, and they are incredible! These new techniques change the medium of training auditors and auditor/case supervisor administration by leaps and bounds both in ease of use and security of data among other substantial benefits, without changing the methodology of auditing.
Accuracy, speed, security, portability of documents, backup documentation, and reduced communication lag between auditor sessions, internship supervisors, and C/S's, are all drastically improved upon from what once was an entirely slow and sometimes lossy "analog" endeavor in decades past.
We are now light years beyond the organization we left behind in our use of present-day computing technology in conjunction with the application of the original LRH tech, standardly. We are moving people up the bridge more accurately and faster than ever before in the 21st century outside the COS.
In part two of this series, coming next week, we are going to look at our software options and what they offer. Stay tuned!

The question…..how to switch a ferret to eat real food instead of the crack in a bag they're presently being fed. Good question. How strong willed are you? Hopefully stronger willed than your ferret(s). Age has a bit to do with how easy your switch will go. That being said, any ferret can be switched. The oldest ferret I've ever switched was a wee 9 yrs old marshals , she-fert, whom came to be known as Babushka. Was it difficult, of course it was. It took me about 3 months. Was it worth it….yes, very much worth it. It was wonderful to see her eyes brighten, her coarse thin coat become thick, soft, to see weight on that thin frame. Yes, it was worth it. A ferret becomes ingrained on the food they're weaned onto by the time they're 6 to 9 months. The switch and how easily it will go, only in part relies on age, some of the switch has to do with your ferret's personality and of course…..your personality and your real desire to switch your ferret to a natural diet.
The first method we're going to mention is simple enough. It requires the soupy recipe in the files. All you need is that bowl of soupy and the unwilling ferret. Place the soupy on the floor….join the ferret for a game of catch the ferret. It's simple enough. Catch the ferret, dip your finger in the bowl, place soupied finger on the tip of the ferret's nose, making sure that soupy is smeared on said ferret's nose. You will get one of two reactions…..said ferret will lick soupy off nose and your finger and ask for more at the very least will show interest…comply with the ferret and see if you can convince the ferret to take from the bowl. Release and repeat.
The second reaction is more disturbing for most people but equally common. The ferret will wiggle free, gag, retch, stick their paws in their mouth as they try and remove the foul taste from their mouth. Their ability to earn an Emmy for mellow drama is only equal to their ability for stubbornness. So, let the game begin. You play something else for a few more minutes and then repeat the feeding exercise. You keep this up for as long as it takes. Sometimes it's easier to start this game over a weekend when there is nothing else going on. This can take hours, days, weeks, depending on how you want to pursue this. Whatever you do, it can't be done on occasion, or "when you've got time". The idea is to move this along as quickly as possible. If you keep this up over the weekend you should have them at least tasting by the end of the weekend, more than likely, your ferret will be at least eating off the spoon. Through the following week you take an hour to play, and finger or spoon feed. The longer you put off or stretch the switch out, the more difficult it becomes as your ferret will figure out if they hold out they will get the kibble reward.
Remove kibble for at least an hour before starting your attempt at switching.
your children to eat cookies for 3 meals a day, why are you going to let your ferrets.
You have to believe there is no options. If you rely on kibble as a fall back, you've already lost part of the battle…..don't consider this a trick, think about it. If you realize that your ferret would starve if it didn't eat kibble, how would you proceed?


Reasoning is Ran at an all pure speech, nevertheless if troubles and ambiguities appear, then you have to resort for their own legitimate investigation. This kind of investigation entails a translation in natural language to the language of logic, as like a consequence of most links between ordinary language propositions are substituted with logical straps (packages), and the exact significance that will be just characterized together with the assistance of definitions.
However, Sometimes there's a discrepancy involving the paragraphs of this pure vocabulary and also the corresponding plausible announcements. We've stated the utilization of this disjunction performance from the sense of this performance of this disjunction akin towards cosmopolitan awareness, whereas at ordinary language or maybe yet in Science, it's commonly utilized in a distinctive feel.
Mass gave Delivery to your youngster and received wed is known as laborious with respect to the string of functions punctually. However, this gap may not be satisfactorily expressed from the speech of this propositional calculus. A number of limitations with the calculus might be taken off by assembling tougher logical investigation applications, particularly, as an instance, from the sense of predicates. But, formalization cannot harm the whole riches and chances of a regularly enhancing and growing language that is natural.
But, In spite of a written representation of this argumentation, a decent transmission of idea from the term isn't consistently reached; conclusions from the suggestions are sometimes not accomplished. Ideal are an incident where by each proposal could be matched with one sentence and, of course, 1 sentence could say 1 conclusion. However, that takes place in fact. But such the perfect functions to process it so much as you can below the specified specific problems.
Who are perhaps not directly associated with argumentation are expunged, however function for the very part as expressive way of getting speech. At an Identical point it Becomes potential to launch, very first, that paragraphs function as assumptions along with the Completion of rationale, and second, the way they have been linked with one another. Considering that the Primary Purpose of plausible identification of rationale will be to set that the Correctness and legitimacy of rationale, it will become crucial to show its accurate Logical arrangement that is often achieved completely merely by formalizing reasoning.

Colorado ghost towns: Dunton transformed from mining camp into luxury Dunton Hot Springs resort
By: Deb Stanley
In the mid-1800s, people were flocking to southwestern Colorado in search of their fortune. They built cabins, saloons and created towns.
In 1885, the town of Dunton was established near the Emma, Smuggler and American mines in a valley between what is now Telluride and Dolores.
By 1905, the town's population was reported to have been about 260 to 300 people. But the boom didn't last long and by 1918, Dunton was a deserted ghost town.
The town was purchased by the Roscio family, who ran it as a cattle ranch. It was even a dude ranch for tourists in the 1970's and the 1980's. Unfortunately, by the 1990's, Dunton became a ghost town again.
In 1994, Christoph Henkel bought the town and renovated it. Using the town's original saloon as the new town's anchor, Heckel brought in historic cabins from the area and around the state to the "new" Dunton, just steps away from a hot springs.
We start our tour in the saloon. Here you'll find the kitchen, the large communal dining table and the historic bar.
While most of the bar is from the time period, the bar's top is original to Dunton and it's what people talk about — carved into the bar top are many names and dates, including Butch Cassidy's name.
"The signature is said to be original," according to Dunton Hot Springs General Manager Michael Moody. The story goes that Cassidy rode into Dunton after a bank robbery in Telluride.
It's said that bank robbery launched Cassidy's notorious career.
Let's step outside for a "tour" around Dunton. Each cabin is unique and named.
New House is an original Dunton cabin.
If you look closely, you'll notice the wood on most of the building is horizontal. However, there's one section where the wood is vertical. The vertical wood is the "new" wood where a bathroom was added to the old cabin.
Well House Cabin is also original to Dunton.
However, this cabin has something very special inside — a tub fed by its own hot spring.
The Well House cabin also has a cold plunge and fireplace.
Bjoerkmans cabin is another Dunton original.
It was built by a Scandinavian miner and named for him. It's the oldest cabin at Dunton Hot Springs.
Geysir cabin came from the nearby geyser area, about two miles away.
And Tipping cabin (on the right, below) was moved here from Parachute.
The Dunton Store cabin is exactly what its name implies.
It was Dunton's original store and it's still sitting in its original location.
The Pony Express Cabin was moved here from Colorado Springs.
It is not an overnight cabin, but rather a spa and yoga studio.
If you're into yoga, one very 2010's addition to Dunton is the open air yoga platform. Next to the river, this yoga platform has incredible mountain views.
The library cabin features two stories of shelves filled with books.
And in one corner of the library, you may notice a bottle of George Dickel Tennessee Whisky.
Moody says when the saloon's floor was being redone, the workers found a case of Dickel Whisky. That started a tradition of serving Dickel in the saloon and the library.
There's an open-air chapel near the library.
Dunton Hot Springs hosts multiple weddings each year. Moody said at one point this year, Dunton hosted five weddings in six weeks. Some of those weddings involved A-list celebrities, but Moody isn't naming names.
The Echo cabin is another original Dunton cabin. It's unforgettable because it has an outside shower.
Near the Echo Cabin is the source of Dunton Hot Springs — a natural, effervescent spring. It's 107 degrees.
If you can handle that temp, there are steps down to the spring, and a bench just under the water, where you can sit and enjoy the hot water.
Water from the spring feeds the indoor and outdoor pools at the Dunton Hot Springs' bathhouse.
Inside the bathhouse is a 5-foot deep pool, a cold plunge pool, a hammock to relax in, a loft with a sitting area and many names carved by the visitors over the years. We spotted at least two carvings from 1917.
Learn more about the cabins and the hot springs on the Dunton Hot Springs' website.
Note, when the property is not sold out, there are some day passes available. A lunch and soak package starts at $115, a dinner and soak package starts at $175.

AN IMPERFECT DATA POINT
The optimal Covid-19 testing strategy for reopening the office
Reopen strategies.
Image: Reuters/Lucy Nicholson
Katherine Ellen Foley
Without a uniform, enforceable Covid-19 strategy in the US, many workplaces—including the US Capitol—have been left to their own devices to design a safer return to the office. The easiest and cheapest way to do so? Rely on frequent testing of in-person employees.
Since November, US federal lawmakers and their staff have routinely received a Covid-19 test as they enter the building when Congress is in session. The test of choice has been a polymerase chain reaction test—which checks for the genetic material from SARS-CoV-2—from Curative, a California-based biotech startup, which turns around results in roughly 12 hours.
But on Monday, Jan. 4, the US Food and Drug Administration released a warning that Curative's tests were producing an alarming number of false negative results—suggesting that several individuals who had been told they don't have SARS-CoV-2 are actually carrying the virus, and potentially infecting others. In other words, Curative's tests aren't as sensitive as the FDA thought when it granted the product emergency use authorization back in April 2020. In its warning, FDA stated that those who have taken a Curative test may want to talk to their healthcare providers about getting retested.
While this is alarming for lawmakers and any of the hundreds of thousands of people who have taken Curative tests across the country—the tests have been used by the tens of thousands in Florida, California, and other states—it's not all that surprising. If anything, the FDA's warning about Curative's tests serve as a warning for all employers that tests alone can't guarantee safety. And it could point to a better testing strategy for reopening.
"They're information, but they're not the holy grail," says Michael Hochman, an internal medicine physician who teaches at the University of Southern California's School of Medicine. If you have been exposed to Covid-19 but your test is negative, it's not an "all-clear," he says.
In the case of Curative's lower sensitivity, which reflects a test's ability to positively identify an infection, Hochman wasn't all that surprised. "That's not unique to Curative," he says. In an effort to make testing widely accessible, FDA granted as many EUAs as it could, without requiring its typical level of evidence from companies. In Curative's EUA, the company relied on mere dozens of data points, which wouldn't be enough for a normal FDA clearance or approval. "The bar has been set really low," says Hochman.
That doesn't negate the fact that in general, PCR tests are the best tool doctors have to identify the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in an individual. But they're most effective when used in very specific situations: According to its EUA, Curative's tests were designed for "individuals suspected of Covid-19 by their healthcare provider"—or symptomatic cases, in other words. And doctors don't take these results as gospel: Hochman says he's seen quite a few patients with "textbook" Covid-19 cases, characterized by a pneumonia with a loss of taste and smell, who have tested negative. In these instances, he's proceeded to treat them as if they have Covid-19.
In general, the more evidence you have to believe you have Covid-19—perhaps you're coughing and you know you've been exposed to an infected person—the more likely you can trust your results to be accurate. PCR test results are more likely to be accurate the longer the virus has to replicate in your body; it can take two to five days after exposure to the virus for it to become detectable in your mucus or saliva.
So when it comes to work, PCR tests have obvious pitfalls. But counterintuitively, the trick to effective workplace screening is not simply increasing test sensitivity.
"[Congress is] not necessarily using the most effective test," Michael Mina, an epidemiologist and immunologist at Harvard, said in an email. Considering that its goal is to send individuals who test positive for Covid-19 home, getting results 12 hours later isn't ideal. At that point, an infected person could have had contact with dozens or hundreds more people. (Best practice remains that if you have been exposed to Covid-19, you have to act like you have it and quarantine—regardless of your symptoms and test results.)
Instead, Mina advocates for rapid antigen tests. They're less sensitive in that they have a smaller window for identifying positive cases—roughly a day before or after someone develops symptoms—but they're more immediately actionable. Results can be turned around in about 15 minutes. To be most effective, a person would have to be tested daily—but theoretically, this is feasible because they're far cheaper at about $5 per test, compared to PCR tests, which are around $100. "If you are positive, you don't walk around Congress for the whole work day (or two) before getting your results," says Mina.
The concern with rapid antigen tests is that their sensitivity might not be as high. But when it comes to detecting the most infectious people or those people who are likely to be spreading Covid-19, the sensitivity of rapid tests is very high—nearly 100% compared to PCR tests. And high frequency means it becomes not just more sensitive but much more effective.
If this pandemic has shown us anything, it's that one strategy won't be enough on its own to protect all of us.

Tri-Lateral Commission
Secret Archive Reveals How Freemason Members Shaped Britain's History
For centuries, they have shrouded themselves in secrecy. So murky is their history, their origins are opaque even to themselves. Their rituals are conducted in private, with members swearing a melodramatic oath that threatens them with 'having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots and buried in the rough sands of the sea at low-water mark' should it be violated.
But what's inspired endless rumour and speculation is how the influence of this shadowy organisation reaches to the very heart of the Establishment — to senior politicians, high-ranking military men, diplomats and spies, chief constables and scientists.
They are, of course, the Freemasons. And according to a secret membership archive open to the public for the first time, the number of leading figures in British history is likely to be even greater than conspiracy theorists would have you believe.
The newly released list of two million names includes at least five kings (most recently Edward VII, Edward VIII and George VI), the present Duke of Kent, statesmen Winston Churchill and Lord Kitchener, military genius the Duke of Wellington, authors Rudyard Kipling and Arthur Conan Doyle, England manager Sir Alf Ramsey, the explorer Ernest Shackleton, the scientist who discovered penicillin, Sir Alexander Fleming — and flamboyant playwright Oscar Wilde.
According to estimates, there are 250,000 Masons in Britain and six million Masons worldwide. They may be relatively few in number, but they wield considerable influence across all sections of society.
The very mention of the Freemasonry — one of the world's oldest and biggest non-religious organisations — is guaranteed to prompt a rash of contradictory reactions. Defenders rightly point to its tradition of charity fund-raising and official websites promote it as an 'enjoyable hobby'.
Indeed, the website of the United Grand Lodge of England recommends it for 'making new friends and acquaintances'.
But do such close friendships lead to too much power being vested in individuals who favour fellow Masons in everything from promotions to business deals? Membership lists are notoriously hard to get hold of, making it difficult to detect corruption.
Others believe the Freemasons, with their arcane ceremonies, secret handshakes, lambskin aprons, embroidered sashes and gold rings, and their ornate symbols — the square, the compass — are more the stuff of pantomime.
There aren't many 'private societies', after all, whose members swear an oath blindfolded, bare-chested, with nooses around their necks and a dagger to the heart — and with the left trouser leg rolled up.
Yesterday, however, proved to be a field day for those who claim the Freemasons are a force not for good, but for bad.
Working from the complete English Masonic membership records dating from 1751 to 1921, genealogical website Ancestry has established that at least five people associated with the official inquiry into the sinking of the Titanic were Freemasons. It argues this may have influenced the findings, which exonerated most of the key figures involved.
It was also claimed yesterday that one of the most notorious murderers in British history may also have been a Mason.
According to a new book by Bruce Robinson, the writer of the cult film Withnail & I, none other than Jack the Ripper was a Freemason. It begs the question whether his identity was covered up, allowing him to carry on with his murderous campaign in which five women died.
The websites of modern-day Masonic lodges, some of which pay at least lip-service to being less secretive, talk virtuously of how it is frowned upon for a member to use his Masonic status for a career leg-up.
But down the centuries, their clandestine activities have — however unfairly — convinced many that as a fraternity they were collectively up to no good.
There have been glimpses of serious wrongdoing. The late Yorkshire architect and Freemason John Poulson was jailed for seven years after being found guilty in 1974 of bribing public figures to win contracts.
The judge called Poulson an 'incalculably evil man' and his conviction precipitated the 1972 resignation of Conservative Home Secretary Reginald Maudling, who had been a director of Poulson's firm.
Freemasons' origins in Britain seem to date back at least to the late 14th century. The Freemasons believe their roots — and their very name, and hence their symbols — lie in the masons who built the great medieval cathedrals, such as Salisbury, started in 1220.
Certainly, by the end of the 17th century, there were several lodges — as the individual Masonic societies are known — dotted around the British Isles, with at least seven in London.
It was in the capital that four lodges came together in June 1717 to form the first 'Grand Lodge', which published its first minutes and constitution in 1723.
Within a few decades, the Masons started to attract to their number some of the most influential men in London society, including members of the Royal Society, artists and writers such as William Hogarth and Alexander Pope, and members of the aristocracy, right up to dukes.
In 1776, the Freemasons opened a sumptuous hall as their Grand Lodge in Great Queen Street, Central London. This was replaced in the Thirties by the monolithic Freemasons' Hall.
Their web of influence spread throughout the country and society. Some lodges met at taverns and inns — and today, many taxi drivers, plumbers and even dustmen are Masons. There are two lodges for women Masons.
While the Freemasons insist their private meetings do not mask anything nefarious, that was not universally so. In the late 18th century, for example, a lodge in Brentford was accused of plotting to kill George III. The conspiracy did nothing to deter his two sons, George IV and William IV, from becoming Masons.
Freemasonry really took off in the wake of the two world wars. In the three years after World War I, 350 lodges were established, and in three years after World War II, nearly 600 were set up.
The Freemasons claim this was due to an increased number of men 'who wanted to continue the camaraderie they had built up during their war service, and were looking for a calm centre in a greatly changed and changing world'.
That may well be so, but it does not answer the question that many have asked about their activities for nearly three centuries: who benefits from whatever it is they do? The Masons themselves or is it society at large?
The Freemasons do not deny that much of their generosity is allocated to themselves and their dependants, often in the forms of healthcare and education. But there is nothing wrong in creating a society for mutual benefit.
And good causes benefit. Each year they give £1 million to the Royal College of Surgeons 'for the betterment of mankind'. Most members are surely honest, decent and altruistic.
But it is hardly surprising, given the closed way members go about their business, that cynics maintain some Masons' primary ambition is to give each other favours and backhanders, turn blind eyes, wave through promotions, sign contracts and bestow all manner of benefits not available to others.

In the midst of the 2008 recession, it was clear that non-profits were struggling to keep their doors open and provide necessary services to the people that needed them most. They asked the question: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if it were possible to organize a group of community-minded individuals that could affect real change in their community?" Their answer was to gather others, join together, and help where it was needed most.
From the first project at Easter Seals, to subsequent projects at Girls' Inc. Manchester, Opportunity Networks, MPAL, and CCCNH, that group of volunteers has grown and evolved into a sophisticated network of generous and talented professionals from all industries and locations across New Hampshire. Each one giving what they can to amount to a game-changing gift to a local organization.

Mobile Art Cart Helps Relieve Stress and Pain for Patients
Heather Woods brings Dana-Farber's art studio to patients through the mobile art cart.
Pain, anxiety, fear: these are a few common feelings that may become particularly heightened after a cancer diagnosis and during treatment.
But a traveling mobile art cart, sponsored by the Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrative Therapies, now offers Dana-Farber patients the ability to reduce pain or stress through expressive arts such as coloring, weaving, and card making.

Rhythm Therapy: How Drum Circles Help Patients Cope
Heather Woods, MT- BC, manager of Expressive Arts Therapies at the Zakim Center, who runs the mobile art cart program, says the cart can make the side effects of treatment a little more manageable for patients.
"Our goal is to bring creative opportunities directly to patients in these stressful moments so they can have a little break from their stress, have a better quality of life, and gain some new coping skills," Woods says.
Every day, Woods or her intern travel to floors 6 to 8 of the Yawkey Center for Cancer Care with the small metal cart – stocked to the brim with mini adult coloring books, packs of colored pencils, flyers of events, and creative arts projects.
The mobile art cart travels to waiting and infusion areas to help patients pass the time before appointments and manage their stress, according to Woods.
"It's a non-threatening way for people to explore themes that might be coming up in their life," Woods explains.
The cart is an extension of the Open Arts Studio, a walk-in space in the Eleanor and Maxwell Blum Patient and Family Resource Center on the first floor of the Yawkey Center. The studio, open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is home to all kinds of arts and crafts materials including yarn, paints, fabrics, and canvases. The studio also offers a regular workshop series, with fine art and craft-based instruction twice weekly for patients, caregivers, and staff.
Medical experts now view integrative therapies as an effective complement to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Studies show that expressive and other integrative therapies, such as massage, acupuncture, and yoga, help patients relieve stress, ease pain, and enhance quality of life. Woods says the mobile art cart just does that – making it all worthwhile for her.
"Offering a way for patients to smile and relax, when they are no doubt going through tremendous challenges, brings a lot of meaning to my work and to my life," says Woods.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The owners of Kansas City's only Scandinavian restaurant are grateful to the community for helping save their business.
Josh Rogers and Katee McLean have owned Krokstrom Klubb & Market in Midtown for nearly three years. Three weeks ago, they were on the verge of shutting down as sales continued to decline due to the lousy weather.
The Rogers turned to social media and pleaded for the community's support. The community answered the call and the business has been booming ever since.
The couple said reservations are up, and they're now looking to hire additional staff to keep up with the demand.
"It's really hard to tell what kind of brought everybody in, but we're really grateful for it all," Rogers said.
On Tuesday evening, Stephanie Anderson was dining at the restaurant with people from her Volker neighborhood, which also happens to be where the Rogers live.
"It's become a really great way for people to put faces to the names that they see in the Facebook group every day," Anderson said.
They eat dinner together once a month not only to get to know one another, but also to support local businesses.
The Rogers said the support from the community has been overwhelming and they're beyond grateful.
"I think it's a really great show of community and how everybody's – even though we're in this urban neighborhood in the middle of the city – we all want to look out for each other and support each other," Rogers said.

Livid Sedge Carex livida (Wahlenb.) Willd.
Carex livida
The specific epithet livida is a vague term that refers to the "effect of adding grey and black to the range of hues between blue and red," and was originally used to mean blue or leaden colored (Stearns 2004). This is probably in reference to the glaucous or light blue green color of Carex livida. So the common name, livid sedge, has nothing to do with this being an angry or furious plant.
There are eight known populations and up to ten historical locations. This plant is found in open saturated areas of fens and bogs, a very specific and uncommon habitat type. Populations may be very local (i.e. common to a small area) but very rare across the entire habitat complex. A number of the known sites are within protected landscapes, but it still may be threatened by succession or hydrological changes.
There are six populations which are currently known to be extant. There is no data available on the trends at these populations but at least four of these populations have large numbers of plants present. Therefore, short term trends are not clear but may indicate that this species is currently stable in New York.
There are six or more populations that have not been seen in recent years. The locality information for most of these populations is poor and surveys have not been conducted to these sites. It is unknown if these populations are still extant. All of the six extant populations were first discovered within the past 20 years. They were probably overlooked in the past. Overall, long term trends are unclear.
Currently there are no threats to any population. Some potential threats include trampling by visitors, change in hydrology (including flooding by beavers), and development of areas adjacent to the wetland habitat where one population of C. livida occurs. There has also been minor filing on the edges of one of the wetlands where C. livida occurs. It is assumed that this filing has had little impact on the nearby C. livida population.
Flooding by beavers should be prevented at populations that may be vulnerable to this activity.
Surveys should be conducted to all historical populations. Monitoring should be done at the one site that is being impacted by visitors trampling.
Carex livida occurs in peaty wetlands that are usually open and often somewhat mineral rich including rich to medium fens. It prefers open areas but can grow in openings in swamps. It also grows where there is standing water (New York Natural Heritage Program 2006). Boreal fens, calcareous floating mats (Rothrock and Reznicek 2002). Often circumneutral, wet soil, meadows, and fens (Haines and Vining 1998). Calcareous meadows, bogs, and depressions (Fernald 1970). Sphagnum bogs or wet places, usually in calcareous districts (Mackenzie 1931-1935).
Inland poor fen* (guide)
A wetland fed by acidic water from springs and seeps. Plant remains in these fens do not decompose rapidly and thus the plants in these fens usually grow on older, undecomposed plant parts of mostly sphagnum mosses. * probable association but not confirmed.
A wetland fed by water from springs and seeps. These waters are slightly acidic (pH values generally range from 4.5 to 6.5) and contain some dissolved minerals. Plant remains in these fens do not decompose rapidly and thus the plants in these fens usually grow on older, undecomposed plant parts of woody material, grasses, and mosses.
Northern white cedar swamp* (guide)
A swamp that occurs on organic soils in cool, poorly drained depressions in central and northern New York, and along lakes and streams in the northern half of the state. These swamps are often spring-fed with continually saturated soils. Soils are often rich in calcium. The characteristic tree is northern white cedar, which makes up more than 30% of the canopy cover. * probable association but not confirmed.
Rich graminoid fen* (guide)
A wetland of mostly grasses usually fed by water from highly calcareous springs or seepage. These waters have high concentrations of minerals and high pH values, generally from 6.0 to 7.8. Plant remains do not decompose rapidly and these grasses usually grow on older, undecomposed plant parts. * probable association but not confirmed.
Rich sloping fen (guide)
A small, gently sloping wetland that occurs in a shallow depression on a slope composed of calcareous glacial deposits. Sloping fens are fed by small springs or groundwater seepage. Like other rich fens, their water sources have high concentrations of minerals and high pH values, generally from 6.0 to 7.8. They often have water flowing at the surface in small channels or rivulets.

Carex livida occurs mostly in the northern part of central New York with one population, at least formerly, in the Rochester area and one population in northeastern New York.
Carex livida is a very widespread species occuring in South America, Central America (Panama), North America, Europe, and Asia. It is widely scattered throughout and uncommon or rare in parts of this range. In North America, it occurs from Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia east to Quebec, Labrador, and New foundland south to New Jersey, New York, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, and California (Rothrock and Reznicek 2002).
Livid sedge is a grass-like perennial. It has long rhizomes and grows in patches. Leaves are a pale bluish-green color, thick, and are 1.5-6.5 mm wide. Stems are 15-55 mm tall and have 2-4 narrowly cylindrical flower/fruit clusters (spikes). The terminal spike is composed of staminate flowers or occasionally has a few female flowers at its apex. Other spikes are at the apex of secondary stems which branch off of the main stem. These spikes are composed of female flowers which mature into fruits (perigynia). Perigynia are pale bluish-green and 3-5 mm long (Mackenzie 1931-1935, Rothrock and Reznicek 2002).
Carex livida is long rhizomatous, colonial, and very glaucous. The leaves are very glaucous, deeply channeled, coriaceous, and 1.5-3.5(-6.5) mm wide. Culms are 15-55 cm tall and have 1-3 lateral pistillate spikes and 1 terminal staminate or rarely gynaecandrous spike. The proximal bract is shorter than to longer than the inflorescence. Pistillate scales are mostly pale brown to dark purple-brown. The perigynia are glaucous, fusiform, 3.0-4.8 mm long and lack or have a minute beak (Mackenzie 1931-1935, Rothrock and Reznicek 2002).
Carex livida can be identified most of the growing season due to its very glaucous leaves. Still, identification is easier when the plants have immature to mature perigynia.
The very glaucous color of this plant distinguishes it from most other wetland plants. Carex aquatilis and C. tetanica can be somewhat glaucous at least part of the year but never as glaucous as C. livida. In addition, C. aquatilis is not closely related and has two stigmas and achenes biconvex in cross section. In comparison, C. livida has three stigmas and achenes trigonous in cross section.
Carex tetanica has a minute bent beak and herbaceous flat leaf blades. In comparison, C. livida has no or only a minute straight beak and coriaceous deeply channeled leaf blades.
The plants start to produce immature perigynia in June and these mature and persist into August and sometimes a little later although, towards the end of this season the perigynia are shedding easily. With enough knowledge and practice C. livida can also be fairly easily identified when vegetative. Therefore, the best time to survey for this species is late June till early August.
The time of year you would expect to find Livid Sedge vegetative and fruiting in New York.

Carex livida is a widely distributed species. Populations from New York were once considered a distinct species or variety. If recognized at the varietal level the name would be C. livida var. radicaulis (Mackenzie 1931-1935, Voss 1972). Mitchell and Tucker (1997) claim that C. livida var. grayana (Dewey) Fern. is misapplied by NY authors when it is really a true synonym (Mackenzie 1931-1935). Carex livida is in section Paniceae (Rothrock and Reznicek 2002).

Gina Chavez: "Ella" [PREMIERE]
Apr 17, 2020 Apr 21, 2020 by Jack Anderson
Queer, Catholic, and unabashedly fueled by feminism, multi-ethnic native Austinite Gina Chavez has heralded in unheard iterations of Latin music going back to her chart-topping 2014 acoustic bi-lingual record Up.Rooted. A decided shift from the 2007 acoustic folk-pop debut Hanging Spoons, Chavez pushed her sound even further out of the comfort zone with 2018's R&B-soul-dominated Lightbeam, favoring the twelve-time Austin Music Award winner's mesmerizing vocals over her once relied-upon guitar. Since starting her songwriting career over a decade back, Chavez's undeniable talent has given her access to international tours (including appearances as a U.S. State Department cultural ambassador) and exposure through ACL Fest, NPR's Tiny Desk, First Listen, and All Things Considered, as well as a platform to co-found private college fund Niñas Arriba (which benefits underprivileged girls in El Salvador) alongside her wife.
With a lifetime of experiences marred by critical acclaim and infectious popularity under her belt, Gina Chavez is channeling her observations of women's oppression into her upcoming fourth release, La Que Manda, or The Woman in Charge. True to its title, La Que Manda sees Chavez's confidence higher than it's ever been before, striving to create equalizing Latinx anthems for the gender-downtrodden across the globe. La Que Manda is out May 15th, but just today Gina Chavez shared a Spanish-language single featuring producer Lina Briceno and engineer Fernando Lodeiro, who've received two Latin Grammys and two Grammys, respectively. The result is a bold trap beat that bears witness to Chavez like we've never heard before and sets the stage for the full album next month, "Ella"!

The BURTON X CARHARTT WIP collaboration is a merge of terrains and textures.
Collaborations are currently the standard within the fashion industry, at this stage there aren't so many that particularly mesh well with regards to the alignment of brand stories. However there is a subtle breath of fresh air seen in this collaborative offering between Burton and Carhartt WIP. Both brands share a fit that is wide due to the nature and purpose of the apparel made. Burton being the Snowboarding apparel brand bringing an aesthetic of warmth and coverage for the sport and Carhartt rooted in workwear with heavy weight fabrics built for protection. The merge of these two brands is something true and beautiful, we hope the relationship continues to thrive. Key item of this collection is the black collared overall.
The BURTON X CARHARTT WIP collection will be available October 18th, see images below. In the meantime hit the banners below to shop the current CARHARTT WIP range.


What is common to all these daily activities? The answer: buildings.
Buildings are not only the largest physical element in cities, occupying 50 percent or more of urban land area, but are also where people spend most of their time, as the average person in a developed country spends up to 90 percent of his or her life in buildings. However, buildings are often ignored as public service providers, despite their prevalence in urban life. As a result, investments in buildings often lag, leaving significant potential untapped for improving productivity, health, and comfort. It's time for leaders from both the public and private sectors to pay attention to buildings as a way of improving how their cities perform.
Performance is a measure of how effectively and efficiently services are provided. Buildings with low performance—like poor indoor air quality or high operating costs due to inefficient energy or water use—can be detrimental to not only to the economy of a city, but the health and productivity of the people who use them.
Self-sufficiency: high performing buildings can be resilient to disruptions in the electricity and water supply.
Alternative infrastructure services: on-site water management can avoid the need for larger municipal water treatment infrastructure, and mitigate flood risk.
Positive community impact: buildings can not only be self-sufficient, but also act as alternative suppliers of energy and other services. Selling water, power, and other services to the community can help pay for the investments needed in technology and maintenance.
Buildings have the potential to be one of the most disruptive, game-changing city service strategies of the 21st century. But city leaders need to act, using public policy catalyze private investment and improve performance.
Efficient and on-site technologies with integrated design – Buildings are increasingly adopting a variety of technologies—from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to solar photovoltaics—thanks to dramatically decreasing costs. These technologies, combined with best practices in building design and operations, mean that better buildings are possible and increasingly affordable.
New business and finance models – Market innovators are using business models like energy service performance contracts and power purchase agreements for rooftop solar panels to improve management practices and make advanced technologies affordable.
New regulatory and leadership models – New policies are addressing longstanding market failures—like imperfect information. Building performance disclosure policies are providing better data for urban decision makers to assess how buildings perform across sectors. This is happening in cities like Philadelphia and dozens more. By requiring "tune-ups" to buildings, as in New York, policy makers can ensure that owners, who are not technical experts in building science, make cost-effective improvements to how their buildings operate. Many others are setting building performance targets to motivate action and improve public accountability.
A benchmarking map of Philadelphia that allows decision makers and property owners to identify how buildings are performing, and take action to make individual buildings more efficient. Map by City of Philadelphia, Mayor's Office of Sustainability.
Radically rethinking how buildings provide services—and the kinds of services that buildings can provide—is a tremendous opportunity for improving city performance.
Accelerating these emerging trends and catalyzing change at a greater level will not only benefit building owners and users, but cities as a whole. It's time for public and private sector leaders to recognize these benefits and act.
