Artful Dementia Research Lab
The Artful Dementia Research Lab at UiT The Arctic University of Norway conducts research on innovative understandings of ageing and dementia. On the basis of experimental interventions with the creative arts our researchers investigate other ways of living with and relating to dementia, thereby exploring art interventions as a mode of social science knowledge generation. Through developing a new conceptual repertoire, research conducted within the Artful Dementia Research Lab contributes to complementing medical and pharmacological interventions with experimental art interventions that are sensitive to socio-material dimensions of everyday life.
carrying out a series of arts interventions (fine arts, music, drama) in everyday life of people with dementia on the basis of a practice-based fieldwork approach
analysing the processes the interventions evoke and inquiring into the on-going research process
applying theoretical approaches of relational aesthetics and material feminisms
developing a theory-methods package from a sociological and artistic perspective
Ann Therese Lotherington
Ann Therese Lotherington is Professor of Sociology and Head of Department at Centre for Women's and Gender Research at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Her professional orientation is new material feminist theory and citizenship theory that she has used and developed for research in different empirical settings, most recently related to everyday life of people living with dementia. Her current interest in relational aesthetics and the significance of creativity in people's lives comes from connections with people in some way afflicted with this disease. The entanglement of the creative arts in everyday life challenge dominant understandings of community and connectivity, and how a life with dementia might be lived, which demands renewed research approaches and new research to be fully understood.
Lilli Mittner
Lilli Mittner is trained as a musicologist and practices as a violinist. Currently she holds a postdoc position in feminist art intervention at the University of Tromsø The Arctic University of Norway. Lilli is broadly interested in art making processes and how people create new spaces of possibilities through different perceptions of conventional social practices. In her project she addresses methodological challenges in artists' practices of working with people living with dementia by diffracting the theoretical basis of art interventions with feminist theory and relational aesthetics. Her research is situated in a broader context of arts-based research and the humanities. Lilli's scientific background touches upon the fields of history, sociology, pedagogy, anthropology, and psychology of music as well as media and communication studies.

Do you love chips and ice cream and never let anything green pass your lips? Are burgers your staple -- and you wouldn't dream of having one without fries?
It's not just you. Many people eat too many of the wrong kinds of foods simply because they've never developed a taste for healthier foods such as salmon, broccoli, or yogurt.
And yes, old habits are hard to break -- but it's certainly not impossible. We spoke to health and nutrition experts who shared some tips on how you can effortlessly "sneak" super-nutritious foods into your diet.
Just about any health professional has his or her own "top 10" list of healthy foods. They often include berries, tomatoes, nuts, salmon, whole grains, low-fat dairy, eggs, dark leafy greens, beans and legumes, and sweet potatoes. You could also argue the merits of other foods, such as green tea, carrots, chocolate, alcohol (in limited quantities), olive oil, soy products, oranges, pumpkin, and turkey.
Whatever particular foods you choose, lots of fruits, vegetables, dairy, nuts, beans, and omega 3- fatty acid-rich foods should be gracing your table, according to the experts and the U.S. government's 2005 Dietary Guidelines.
The challenge is working more of these super-nutritious foods into your daily diet -- especially if you are not a fan of their taste or texture.
But it doesn't have to be difficult, says Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD, co-author of Stealth Health: How to Sneak Nutrition Painlessly Into Your Diet. She recommends evaluating your favorite foods to figure out where you can make smart substitutions.
For example, she says, "if you love tuna noodle casserole, crab cakes or fish patties, substitute salmon for the seafood."
One of Tribole's favorites is tofu because it's so versatile.
"You can crumble it on chili, slice it thin in lasagna, or puree it and use it to replace half the cream cheese in recipes," she says. "Tofu is an excellent example of adding good nutrition without realizing a taste change."
Preconceived ideas can cause people to turn up their noses before they even taste a particular food. Our taste buds evolve over time, and some foods just get a bad reputation.
Perhaps when you were a child, some cranky babysitter made you eat mushy broccoli, and ever since that day, it has not crossed your lips.
If you want to give broccoli (or any other food) another chance, consider the impact of the visual presentation. To prevent your food biases from kicking in, make sure the food is shredded, pureed, diced, or otherwise masked.
"Broccoli-haters are going to turn up their noses before the first bite hits their mouth if they see it on their plates," says Tribole. "Improve your odds of acceptance by changing the appearance and texture of the broccoli by shredding it to make a slaw."
Making changes in your daily routine can be daunting. But you don't have to eat all superfoods, all the time. Start small and make tiny dietary tweaks, one at a time, until they become healthy habits, advises nutrition expert and author David Katz, MD.
"Pick three things you can do each day, do it consistently, and it will become a habit," says Katz, co-author of the book Stealth Health: How to Sneak Age-Defying, Disease-Fighting Habits into Your Life without Really Trying. "It is the routines and habits that integrate good health into your life style that will result in health and wellness."
Something as simple as choosing a whole grain over a refined grain is a step in the right direction.
"Start with one change that comes relatively easy, and let the positive effects encourage you to make another small change and another, and another," says Katz.
If you don't like a particular food at first, keep trying. It can take some time before new foods get added to your favorite list.
"Research on children has shown that it can take as many as eight or nine times before an eating preference is established," says Tribole.
Here are 15 tips, techniques, and ideas to help you sneak nutrition into your diet.
1. Blend it. Smoothies are a great way to blend fruit and yogurt into a cold, tasty snack or breakfast.
2. Top it. Tomatoes, dark leafy greens, and nuts add wonderful flavor to sandwiches and salads; yogurt gains pizzazz when topped with crunchy whole-grain cereal and fresh fruit; pizza-lovers won't notice spinach under the cheese on their favorite pie.
3. Puree it. Changing the texture is an easy way to sneak foods into your diet. A puree of roasted vegetables makes a wonderful sauce for fish or chicken. Pureed cauliflower or potato gives thickness and depth to soups, stews, and casseroles.
4. Stir it in. Soups, stews, meatloaf, omelets, quiches, spaghetti sauce and chili are great dishes in which to hide shredded, diced, or pureed vegetables.
5. Substitute it. Use yogurt instead of oil in baked goods; spaghetti squash instead of pasta; sweet potatoes in place of white potatoes.
6. Bake it. Pumpkin, zucchini, carrot, walnut, and berries make wonderful breads and muffins.
7. Roast, grill, or broil it. Fruits and vegetables take on a whole new flavor when caramelized. Oven-dried grape tomatoes enliven any dish, from bruschetta to pasta.
8. Dip it. Fruits and vegetables come alive with a low-fat dip. Kids love to dip -- and so do adults.
9. Serve it raw. Grape tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, jicama, and celery are fun to nibble on while waiting for dinner or as snacks. Salsas are the perfect medium for a mixture of fruits and vegetables and make great toppings for seafood and chicken.
10. Take the easy way out. Buy prepared vegetables that make it easy to include them in meals. Or drink vegetable juice instead of eating a tomato.
11. Shred or dice it. Chop produce finely to disguise it in dips, salads, or salsas.
12. Spice it up. Make healthy food come alive with herbs, spices, vinegars, mustards and capers.
13. Fix it your favorite way. If you love Asian cuisine, for example, cook your vegetables or seafood with a teriyaki glaze to give them a familiar taste.
14. Be adventurous. Subscribe to a healthy cooking magazine or invest in a healthy cookbook and experiment with recipes that may help you change your mind about healthier foods.
15. Let your favorite chef prepare it. Seeing how a professional handles a particular superfood can open your eyes to new ways to enjoy it.

Child Care Provider Relief Program
Hamilton County Commissioners are using CARES Act funding to stabilize Hamilton County child care providers from financial loss associated with operating under a Temporary Pandemic Child Care (TPCC) license as they served children and families from Hamilton County using Publicly Funded Child Care.
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of Ohio created the TPCC license for child care providers who were providing child care for those working in essential businesses, including healthcare workers. This temporary license (effective March 26 through May 30, 2020) included rule changes needed to ensure the health and safety for children and providers.
Hamilton County will use $2.3 million of its CARES Act funding to assist these child care providers. Specifically, the goal of this program is to ensure the financial viability of child care centers which were open through the pandemic and have had disruption to their current economic model due to social distancing and other additional cost requirements such as cleaning, maintaining PPE equipment etc. Assistance will be provided to childcare providers that meet established eligibility and are able to document a funding gap between revenue and expenses while they operated between March 26 and May 30. 4C for Children, a local child care oversight agency has been contracted to provide support services for this Child Care Provider Reimbursement Initiative.
More information can be found on the Child Care Provider Relief Program launch news article.
Hamilton County CARES COVID-19 Testing
Test and Protect is a partnership between Hamilton County, The Health Collaborative, 5 regional health systems and one regional University to:

Local Government Partner Distribution
Hamilton County Distributes $25 Million in Cares Act Funding to Local Government Partners
Local governments within Hamilton County will receive a direct allocation of CARES Act dollars from Hamilton County in the coming weeks. Hamilton County Commissioners set aside $30 Million in CARES Act funds to assist local governments in combatting COVID-19. $25 Million is going directly to the local governments now, while an additional $5 Million will be kept in reserves to ensure the resources are matching the needs of the communities.
"Our goal is to get this money out the door as swiftly as possible to the villages, cities and townships that need it," said Commissioner Denise Driehaus. "We also want the funding to fit the needs of these local governments that are on the front lines of dealing with this public health crisis."
"We know that COVID 19 has had a major impact on local government budgets," said Commissioner Stephanie Summerow Dumas. "Some jurisdictions are feeling the crunch sooner than others depending on their tax structure and their fiscal cycle. We want to make sure each jurisdiction has what they need to tackle major operational changes as they battle this pandemic."
Funds will be distributed to all 49 jurisdictions using the Ohio Local Government Fund formula. The Local Government Fund is the main tax revenue sharing method developed by the state to spread revenues based on tax capacity and population. Swift allocation is necessary to help those local governments operating on a fiscal year that ends June 30.
"Dispersing these funds equitably among the jurisdictions by using the Local Government Formula means that every resident of Hamilton County is covered." said Commissioner Victoria Parks.
Eligible uses of funds include those expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency including coronavirus-related expenses, such as personal protective equipment, disinfecting of public areas and payroll expenses for public safety needs.
Hamilton County Commissioners and Administration have been in close contact with the jurisdictions since the beginning of the pandemic crisis. The County has regular web-based meetings with all county-wide elected officials and government administrators and has surveyed the local governments to collectively support individual communities' needs including the bulk buying of personal protective equipment.

Should Democrats Go to the Mattresses Over the Supreme Court?
Evan Golub via ZUMA
I'm in a quandary. Last night I suggested that Anthony Kennedy's retirement from the Supreme Court would energize progressives and produce a huge turnout in the November midterms. My thinking behind this was:
On the conservative side, the replacement would already be in place by Election Day, so it wouldn't have any special effect on Republican turnout.
On the progressive side, Kennedy's replacement would put Roe v. Wade in such obvious danger that Democrats would flock to the polls.
Obviously I could be wrong about either of these things, but put that aside for now. It turns out that the controversy of the moment among progressives is whether Democrats should put up a titanic fight to prevent a replacement from being confirmed. My assumption had been that Dems would fight, but mostly pro forma since they have no feasible way of stopping Republicans. They could try to persuade a couple of centrist Republicans to vote against anyone who might overturn Roe, but that's pretty unlikely—and the other ideas I've heard go downhill from there. Republicans are going to win this fight, and the Democratic leadership knows it.
Like I said, that was my assumption behind all this. But what if Democrats do go to the mattresses? Block the doorways, disrupt quorum calls, put gum in all the locks and sugar in the gas tanks. Whatever. If that's the case, then it becomes an all-out war and conservatives will be at least as energized as progressives. Maybe more so. That means a pro forma fight is probably the best bet.
On the other hand, the midterms are all about the Resistance. They're all about the fight, showing a spine, and turning out the base. Wouldn't a pro forma fight deflate all that? If Dems don't blow up a few things, the base might get disgusted and just stay home. That means we need to declare war.
This alternative hadn't really occurred to me. Rationally, a pro forma fight is almost certainly the best bet. But politics isn't about rationality. It's about inspiring your own side and deflating the other side. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a single strategy which accomplishes that here. Any ideas?

Home/News/Local News/Incidents: The Assassination of Oshiomhole
Incidents: The Assassination of Oshiomhole
Two policemen, yesterday, died in an accident involving the campaign convoy of former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, while he was on his way to Usen in Ovia SouthWest local government area.
The accident was said to have happened at about 1pm around the by-pass in Oluku Ovia North East local government area.
As a result of the incident, the candidate of the APC, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has called off his rally at Usen.
It was gathered that a trailer ran into the travelling campaign convoy hitting the back-up vehicle that the police were riding in.
In a statement, the Chairman of the APC Media Campaign Council, Mr. John Mayaki, said it was suspending the scheduled campaign to honour the dead.
On behalf of Pastor Ize-Iyamu and the APC, Mayaki condoled with the families of the victims, saying they were not alone in their grief and pledged that the campaign would do everything within its powers to ameliorate their grief.
Reaching out to the families of the policemen involved in the fatal crash, the campaign said Edo would never forget their supreme sacrifice.
The Publicity Secretary of the APC, Chris Azebamwan said Oshiomhole was okay and that they were waiting for more details from security agencies.
Several calls to the Commissioner of Police, Johnson Kokumo were not picked and same for the Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor.
The Sector Commander of the Federal Roads Safety Commission, FRSC, Henry Benamaisa, said he was waiting for the police to give details before he could officially release same to the public. He said he has deployed his personnel to the area to get details.
Oshiomhole's convoy accident, an assassination attempt, says aide
However, Oshiomhole's Meia Aide, Victor Oshioke described the accident as an assassination attempt.
In a statement, he said Oshiomhole's convoy was driving at a regulated speed limit when a trailer driving in the same direction rammed into the convoy pushing the police back-up into the bush and hitting the vehicle Oshiomhole was riding in.
The statement said: "Some minutes after 12 pm today Tuesday September 1, 2020, there was a motor accident involving the convoy of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, along Benin Lagos by-pass before Oluku junction. The convoy was headed to Usen Community in Ovia South West Local Government Area of Edo State, where Comrade Adams Oshiomhole was expected to appear at a campaign rally alongside Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the APC governorship candidate in the September 19, 2020 election in the state, when a trailer driving in the same direction veered off its course, hit the back up Toyota Hilux vehicle carrying 7 policemen, forcing it off the road, into the bush and rammed into the Sports Utility vehicle carrying Comrade Oshiomhole, causing substantial damage.
"We are sad to report that two police personnel in the Toyota Hilux truck lost their lives while two others are in critical condition receiving treatment at a hospital in the state.
"Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and other persons in the convoy , apart from those indicated above did not sustain any injuries.
"It is pertinent to state, without fear of contradiction, that the convoy of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole was maintaining legal speed limits when this incident occurred. This explains why the trailer, travelling in the same direction over ran the Hilux truck off the road and still hit the SUV carrying Comrade Oshiomhole, causing substantial damage.
"Without prejudice to police investigations, eyewitnesses account of the incident suggest, and we believe rightly too, that this was an assassination attempt, targeting Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. "It is painful that innocent policemen performing their legal duties lost their lives in this very unfortunate incident.
"While we pray for the quick recovery of the injured policemen, we extend our condolences to the families of the departed.

He's a music mogul, a father and one half of "a love story for the ages," but the truth is it's not easy being Kanye West — according to Kanye West. In fact, it's downright dangerous.
In a recent interview with SaturdayNightOnline.com, the rapper compared the perils of his on-stage maneuvers to those faced by members of law enforcement and soldiers on the front lines.
"Like, I'm just giving of my body on the stage; I'm putting my life at risk, literally!" West said of his performances.
Evidently the big risk on his "Yeezus" tour is the manufactured mountain he performs atop during the show.
"I think about when I'm on the 'Can't Tell Me Nothing,' and 'Coldest Winter' moment, like that mountain goes really, really high. And if I slipped … You never know," he said. "And I think about it, I think about my family and I'm like, 'Wow.' … This is like, being a police officer or something, in war or something."
While actor Mark Wahlberg would likely take issue with such a comparison, it makes sense to West, who plans to one day tell his daughter, North, about the performance and paparazzi-filled plights he and partner Kim Kardashian have endured.
"I'll explain to my daughter my one day that me and her mother, we had to fight for this position that we'll finally have," he said.
But that wasn't the only memorable — and quotable — part of the chat from West. Check out the video to hear him talk about how he's "great, like Michelangelo," and how being a "creative genius" plagues him.


Ahead of February 16, 2019, Presidential and National Assembly elections, the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has called on the people of the state to work towards a peaceful, rancour-free and successful elections across the three Senatorial zones of the state.
In a press statement sent to Naija News and signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Onogwu Muhammed, the governor admonished the electorates and political actors in the state to conduct themselves in an orderly, mature and responsible manner before, during and after the election period.
The Governor warned troublemakers plotting to cause public disorder through any form of anti-social behaviour in any part of the state.
He assured the people of the state and election workers of their personal safety and security and called on everyone to desist from acts capable of undermining the entire electoral process in the state.
Bello who craved for the neutrality, impartiality and independence of election workers, security personnel and independent observers, warned them against engaging in practices that could lead to the break down of law and order.
"Kogi state under my leadership fully subscribes to President Muhammadu Buhari's call for peaceful, credible and successful elections. I can assure you that elections across the length and breadth of Kogi state would be peaceful and devoid of violence. All the security agencies have mobilised their men for the elections. So, there is no need for any form of apprehension all through the election period and beyond," he stated.

Satanic Temple Gets Approval to Host Event at Pennsylvania High School
A local school board for a Pennsylvania high school has approved an event hosted by The Satanic Temple next month.
The Northern York County School District said it approved an application for "the Satanic Temple to use our facility as we were required to do so by Board police No. 707," according to a statement provided to WHP-TV.
The school district said it doesn't endorse the activities of any outside organizations that rent its facilities.
The school board's approval follows initially voting down the Satanic Temple's request in April to host "After School Satan Club."
"There is a lot of evil already in this world, so to allow it to come into our school and our community is not OK," parent Laura Vangeli told the station in April.
But the Temple threatened legal action against the board for its decision, according to the York Dispatch.
According to the WHP, the Satanic Temple expressed interest in hosting its event after a group of parents reached out in response to the Christian-affiliated Dillsburg Community Worship and Prayer being permitted to host an event at the high school.
Despite the group's use of Satanic symbols and iconography, the Temple's school-based activities don't claim to be religious.
"Proselytization is not our goal, and we're not interested in converting children to Satanism," the mission statement for the school-based club says on its website.
"After School Satan Clubs will focus on free inquiry and rationalism, the scientific basis for which we know what we know about the world around us."
According to co-founder Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple doesn't begrudge anybody for having a prayer event; however, it does become "a serious problem when you allow a back-to-school prayer event, but you don't allow any other religious representation."

According to the York Dispatch, the IRS granted its tax-exempt status to The Satanic Temple in 2019.
The group is not to be confused with the Church of Satan, a separate strand of the belief system founded in the 1960s.
"After School Satan Club" will be hosted on Sept. 24 at Northern High School, designed to teach children as young as five.

Who sends their children to participate in such foolishness?

Reply to David Wamsley
Even most Christians are brainwashed into thinking Halloween celebrations are OK for their kids because "all their friends are doing it." This isn't that far off. It's evil wrapped up in pretty trappings, like a chocolate covered t**d.

Why don't the parents on the Right ever show up, as does the Left, and not allow these bastards into the school?

They have jobs, families, commitments, obligations, jobs, and an actual life.
Careful! This is a federal "honey pot" hoping to make normal Americans as a "goat"…


Use the tabs to find guides to help you read academic texts in a way that helps you remember and use the information.
What is Annotating and Why do it?
Annotating is any action that deliberately interacts with a text to enhance the reader's understanding of, recall of, and reaction to the text. Sometimes called "close reading," annotating usually involves highlighting or underlining key pieces of text and making notes in the margins of the text. This page will introduce you to several effective strategies for annotating a text that will help you get the most out of your reading.
By annotating a text, you will ensure that you understand what is happening in a text after you've read it. As you annotate, you should note the author's main points, shifts in the message or perspective of the text, key areas of focus, and your own thoughts as you read. However, annotating isn't just for people who feel challenged when reading academic texts. Even if you regularly understand and remember what you read, annotating will help you summarize a text, highlight important pieces of information, and ultimately prepare yourself for discussion and writing prompts that your instructor may give you. Annotating means you are doing the hard work while you read, allowing you to reference your previous work and have a clear jumping-off point for future work.
•Note the title--what does it tell you about the article's topic/argument?
•Is there an Abstract (paragraph that summarizes topic, questions, research methods, findings)?
•Subheadings--what do they tell you?
•Underline the thesis (the main argument or viewpoint, one or two sentences) and write it in your own words in the margin.
•Continue reading the first sentence or two of the body paragraphs.
•Highlight the point of each paragraph and summarize it in the margin in your own words.
•Now that you have a good idea of the article's thesis, read through the entire article and look for more details. Highlight supporting evidence.
•Write any questions you have in the margins.
•Circle any words you don't recognize, look them up in a dictionary, and write their meanings in the margins.
Include a key or legend on your paper that indicates what each marking is for, and use a different marking for each type of information. Example: Underline for key points, highlight for vocabulary, and circle for transition points.
If you use highlighters, consider using different colors for different types of reactions to the text. Example: Yellow for definitions, orange for questions, and blue for disagreement/confusion.
Dedicate different tasks to each margin: Use one margin to make an outline of the text (thesis statement, description, definition #1, counter argument, etc.) and summarize main ideas, and use the other margin to note your thoughts, questions, and reactions to the text.
Lastly, as you annotate, make sure you are including descriptions of the text as well as your own reactions to the text. This will allow you to skim your notations at a later date to locate key information and quotations, and to recall your thought processes more easily and quickly.

2019 Administrative Expedition
January 23, 2020 Djiba Soumaoro
Have you ever celebrated a new year in Mali? The Ouelessebougou Alliance Administration team had the opportunity to ring in 2020 in Ouelessebougou. The 2019 expedition team included 10 people: three staff members from the Salt Lake City office (Judy, Emily and Djiba), three OA board members (Robyn, Dick and Mike) and four volunteers (Bronte, Emma, Diane and Eddie). Seven members of the team stayed in Mali for two weeks while three had to return to the USA earlier. We also had the opportunity to meet up with John and Ann Lewis. John is our former board chair and both he and Ann are committed supporters of the Alliance. They are currently serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Coite d'Ivoire Abidjan and they split their time between there and Bamako which is also part of their mission area. They joined us for a few days in Ouelessebougou and we also got to spend some time with them in Bamako.
The team was able to visit 21 of our 25 villages. We got to know each other very well along with the Ouelessebougou Alliance staff in Mali and our partner villagers. Every single day, we visited two or three villages to understand their problems and progresses. We listened carefully to the Alliance's health agents, matrons, teachers, and village chiefs, young and older people. Everyone also received a Malian name in the villages we visited. The Malians loved hearing the Americans introduce themselves using their new Malian name.
Our first village visit was to Bassa. Our team enjoyed the warm welcome that villagers provided with singing, drums and dancing. We particularly appreciated the party that the villagers of Bassa organized for their new garden school inaugural ceremony. The traditional singer and drummers from Folona were amazing. The Ouelessebougou staff enjoyed dancing with the villagers of Bassa to show their appreciation of the partnerships. We had great lunch with villagers and they cooked us some rice and onion sauces with chicken. The lunch was absolutely delicious.
After lunch, the Ouelessebougou Alliance offered twelve bags of corn to the Internal Displaced Persons as a gesture of solidarity and appreciation. These Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs) had to leave their places in Koutiala region in Mali and settled in Bassa. They were threatened by terrorist attacks. Arriving in Bassa, the villagers warm welcomed these IDPs to their village and gave them some places to live and grow crops. The IDPs were so happy to receive that gift from the Alliance because of violence; they were not able to grow crops in their places. Djiba could see tears on these people's eyes because of joy and gratitude. Additionally, the village chief of Bassa and his councils thanked the Alliance and expressed their gratitude to that humanitarian action. Furthermore, the Alliance went to deliver thirteen bags of corn to the Internal Displaced in Famana and twelve bags of corn in Solo. Our three villages that welcomed the IDPs appreciated the Alliance's action.
Other highlights of our trip included:
attended the school garden opening and celebration in the village of Bassa
visited with and gave corn to IDPs in Bassa, Solo and Famana
met with the Ouelessebougou Youth Association and developing a partnership to increase business training opportunities
volunteered at the Youth Association to teach computer literacy and help clean their building

met with Dr. Bagayogo, the Malian OBGYN who was trained by and worked with Drs. Kammeyer, Newman and their team

played games and soccer, played with the colorful parachute and sang with the kids in our villages and schools

interviewed and spoke with many villagers and leaders on the impact of the Alliance and the challenges they are facing in their communities
experienced Malian culture and village life by making friends with and spending time with villagers
watched, learned and gave a try at making shea butter; pounding millet; spinning cotton and trying to carry items on their heads like Malian women
ate delicious meals (Malian and American) prepared by Robyn and Bronte, and Teningnini
shopped at the Ouelessebougou, Selingue, Bamako markets for the Gala Auction, bought auction items from wood carver Pascal and butterfly artist Pascal
Mike and Djiba visited with Ami, the wife of former OA director Modibo Diarra, in Bamako.
rode in the "Party Van" out to villages on long, bumpy, dirty roads
having Malian clothes hand tailored, getting henna tattoos and hair braids
some people attended services at the Ouelessebougou mosque and/or the LDS Bamako Branch
listened to a Malian band play at the hotel in Bamako
visited microdams
played with the kids outside of the compound, walked to the soccer field and to the market, made friends
ate delicious meals at Anounou's daughter restaurant and the restaurant in John and Ann's Bamako building
During the two weeks of our trip, the members of our expedition found something there are passionate about. Volunteer Emma Hicks became passionate about sanitation and will work as an OA Ambassador on a handwashing project. Board Member Mike Maughan appreciated the sense of community he saw in the Ouelessebougou region. He was very interested in economic development opportunities and working with leaders in the area. Board Member Robyn Mock is excited about birthing centers in the villages and partnering with the Health Matrons to provide healthy birthing solutions for mothers and their babies. Her daughter and volunteer, Bronte, is excited about working on providing solutions to malaria prevention through gardening and repellent made of shea butter. She will be working on this project as an OA Ambassador. Volunteer Diane Richardson was passionate about children's health and was able to provide first aid and care to an infant in Ouelessebougou with breathing issues. Board Member Dick Loomis and his son Eddie learned much more about malaria protection and prevention in our villages and they are eager to work with partners to provide long-term solutions in the area. Staff member Emily Muir is particularly passionate about our programs that support women and girls including school gardens, the women's garden, girls' enrollment, literacy workshops for mothers and Days for Girls. Executive Director Judy Hut was grateful to be able to work closely with Anounou and the Mali staff, and for the chance to visit so many villages and understand the villagers' concerns and evaluate our programs. She was also very happy to share her love of the Malian people with others. Staff member Djiba Soumaoro visited the Ouelessebougou hospital and learned more about children's deaths due to malaria and malnutrition. He is excited we will be partnering with the Youth Association and including five members in the business training that will be held next week.
The expedition was life changing experience for most of our team. They are engaged in doing good and making a difference in our villages in the Ouelessebougou region.

Charles Melton of 'Riverdale' Surprised Fans At A Toronto Movie Screening
Charles stars in the new movie 'The Sun is Also a Star'.
If you're familiar with the show Riverdale, you may also be familiar with a certain actor named Charles Melton. He plays the role of Reggie Mantel on the show, and believe us when we say that he's got plenty of fans thirsting over him and his good looks. Although it's probably his biggest project to date, Riverdale isn't the only thing he's known for - Charles Melton of Riverdale surprised fans at a Toronto movie screening.
One of Charles' newest projects is a film called The Sun is Also a Star, which is based on a novel of the same name by author Nicola Yoon. The movie is about Natasha Kingsley (played by Yara Shahidi), a quantum physics student who unexpectedly meets an exchange student named Daniel Bae (played by Melton). The two can't deny the chemistry they have, but they have bigger issues to overcome first, like Natasha's family's impending deportation.
@thesunisalsoastar
Shahidi and Melton are currently on a press tour for the film, and after making their first appearance in Atlanta, the dynamic duo showed us Canadians some love when they stopped in Toronto and showed up at a screening of the movie to surprise fans with sweet treats before the movie started.
thesunisalsoastar
Needless to say fans were TOTALLY shocked. I don't know about you, but the last thing I expect to see when I go to a movie is the actual star of that movie, handing out candy and posing for photos. One fan took total advantage of the situation and came up with the most epic Promposal ever:
It was definitely a magical night for anyone in the theatre at Yonge-Dundas Square last evening. The duo also made an appearance on CP24 Breakfast this morning to talk about The Sun is Also a Star. You may not actually be able to meet Charles Melton when you see the movie, but seeing him up on the big screen is almost as good.
The Sun is Also a Star is coming to theatres on May 17th, but in the meantime, you can watch the trailer below:


Last weekend, I finished counting the signatures from May, and I can gladly report that as of the beginning of this month, our volunteers have gathered just over 31,000 signatures to put medical cannabis on the ballot in Missouri! That makes another month of more than 10,000 volunteer signatures collected, which keeps us on target for an early qualification.
These ten individuals combined to gather nearly 7,000 signatures last month -- a truly staggering achievement! You can support their efforts by making a contribution of $10, $25, $50 or more now.
Our volunteers freely give their time to bring safe, legal access to medical cannabis to Missouri patients, but they still need funds to print petitions, flyers, signs, and banners; to reserve tables and booths at large events; and for legal counsel when they are unlawfully told to leave public forums.
Contribute now to keep our volunteers in the fight!
Support these volunteers and help make medical cannabis a reality in Missouri by contributing $10, $25, $50, or more now! Or you can pledge your support for the entire campaign by signing up for a recurring contribution of $5, $20, or $50 here. And if you have not yet signed, look for a location near you on our website. Together, we can change the world!


This Barnes & Noble exclusive edition includes a letter to Jace from his father!
The New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments continues—and so do the thrills and danger for Jace, Clary, and Simon. Can the lost be reclaimed? What price is too high to pay for love? Who can be trusted when sin and salvation collide?
so we were left off from book 4 with quite a problem on our hands weren't we? greater demons were killed, suprise visitors/villians return, things happened to characters that we prayed wouldn't…evil over took the souls of the souls of some of the good and yet we still really want to believe that there's a way to come out of this on top.
Let's just say that i'm really happy that City of Lost Souls was already out otherwise i don't know what i'd do with myself right now.
the lightwoods, magnus, clary and simon and friends just won't give up trying to find him because they just know that he can't be dead. Clary aligns herself just a little bit with the seelie queen to find out a little of what she needs to do to find Jace, and even more trouble ensues.
it woudln't be a TMI book if Clary didn't throw all caution to the wind. She tends to leap without looking. Also, we find ourselves yet again in a place where Simon is a hero and needs to do it again.
1) what's going to happen to Jace now ? seems like there are after affects of what happened to him and i wonder what that means?
2) what's going to happen with Alec and Magnus ? things can't quite be what they seem right? I HOPE NOT!
3) what's going to happen with Izzy and Simon?
4) are things going to be smooth sailing for Jordan and Maia?
and a big question i have is….
is Alec really a herondale???? why did Camille keep making reference to Will and how much Alec looked like him?
brother zachariah – what's his ties to the herondales? is he really stephan who was thought to be dead?…just wondering since he's sooo insistent on doing what he can to save any relative of the family.

Q: preg_replace regex conflicting with others So i have this here
<? $regex = array('/@(\w+)/','/#(\w+)/','/((www|http:\/\/)[^ ]+)/');
    $replace = array(
    '@$1',
    '#$1',
    '\1'
); ?>

<?= preg_replace($regex,$replace,stripslashes($row['tweet_text']));?>

The first two are suppose to turn anything with @ and # into links. This is obviously for twitter. But the third is supposed to turn anything with http or www into a link. But it seems to be conflicting with the first two messing up the links.
How can i make the third one make http or www links without conflicting the other two?

A: This is going to be hacky at best, but you could try this:
<? $regex = array('/((www|http:\/\/)[^ ]+)/', '/(?<!>)@(\w+)/', '/(?<!>)#(\w+)/');
    $replace = array(
    '\1',
    '@$1',
    '#$1'
); ?>

Turn the order around, fixing the links first, then only replace @ and # handles if they are not preceded by a > (which they would be if they were already inside an anchor tag).

The fire in the 3800 block of East 62nd Street was reported about 1:15 p.m.
Neighbors identified the injured man as Elmer Harris, a longtime neighborhood resident.
A neighbor said she called 911 after seeing flames coming from a second-floor window.
She and her family helped clear the home, assisting Harris' children, Anthony and Dee Dee Harris, as well Harris' sister-in-law, Janice Winters.
After firefighters brought the elder Harris out, they put him on a gurney, the neighbor said.
Although Harris had a stroke last year, he still picked up food once a week at a church pantry and delivered it to families on his street, the neighbor said.
Dee Dee Harris said she thought the fire started in her bedroom.
"We tried to put the fire out with water, but it was spreading too big," she said.
