In an emailed response to a media inquiry from The Chronicle Herald, Health Canada spokesperson Tammy Jarbeau confirmed the department has observed localized shortages of supply in some markets and in some product lines.
Those shortages were expected, Jarbeau said, and will likely continue in the months ahead, as producers of cannabis and provincial and territorial distributors and retailers aim to match production and shipment levels to market demand.
"It is important to note that Oct. 17 marked the end of nearly a century of criminal prohibition of cannabis and the launch of an entirely new regulated industry in our country. As with any new industry where there is considerable consumer demand, we expect there may be periods where inventories of some products run low or, in some cases, run out," Jarbeau said.
Jarbeau also noted that given the long-standing illegal status of cannabis, there were no established benchmarks to determine which products would be in high demand and which would not, or to precisely estimate demand levels.
However, based on available data, Jarbeau said there is more than enough dried cannabis and cannabis oils to meet Canadian legal demand in the marketplace, but the challenge will continue to be for licensed processors to work with distributors and retailers to process, package existing inventory and ship final products to meet consumer demand.
Jarbeau's email also noted that supply arrangements are negotiated directly between federally licensed producers/distributors and retailers authorized by provinces and territories.
As the overall supply chain gains experience marketplace and licensed producers continue to expand their production, Jarbeau said it is expected localized and product-specific shortages will become far fewer in number and overall levels of supply will continue to grow month over month.
According to Health Canada, there are currently 134 companies licensed to produce cannabis in Canada — 90 of those were licensed in the last 16 months — and 60 with a licence for sales. Since May 2017, licensed square footage has increased from two million square feet to more than 14 million square feet.
In Nova Scotia, there are four companies that have been licensed by Health Canada to cultivate cannabis. According to the Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. only one of those — Breathing Green Solutions in Wentworth Valley — has a licence to retail. NSLC cannabis locations in the province are currently carrying three of its products along with products from other suppliers from across the country.
AtlantiCann Medical Inc., which operates a new state-of-the-art, 48,000-square-foot cultivation and extraction facility with a production capacity of 6,000 kg. per year in Lower Sackville, just received its cultivation licence last week.
Only when the evidence package was reviewed by Health Canada and deemed acceptable. the company then given a cultivation licence.
Halef said she has no complaints with the way Health Canada handled the application.
"I think they've done a good job of increasing the number of staff, because I have noticed that since I submitted my evidence package. I've had very good response in communication with Canada that wasn't present before," she said.
Once a cannabis producer is licensed for cultivation and processing there is an additional process to get a retail licence that permits the sale of their product in stores.
Part of that involves growing at least two harvests — Halef said that typically takes about three months each — which have to pass Health Canada's quality control. Health Canada will also come for a site audit and ensure the company is following all regulations and operating procedures.
Halef said she said she hopes to see AtlantiCann products on NSLC shelves once they receive a sales licence.
That seems to fit in with the province's plans — on Monday, Casey said she hopes to see as much Nova Scotia product sold in NSLC stores as possible.

Q: Chrome / Firefox Extension-Store: Browser version checked automatically? I built an extension for Chrome and Firefox and I am going to release it, soon. Do I have to check for the browser version the user is running or do the stores of Chrome/Firefox automatically check which version is needed and set this as a condition for downloading the extension?

A: Both browsers offer you a way to specify a minimum browser version in the extension's manifest.
For Chrome: minimum_chrome_version manifest key.
For Firefox (note, this will make the manifest incompatible with Chrome): applications.gecko.strict_min_version manifest key.
I'm not aware as to what happens on first install if the latest update requires a higher version, but an older version that fits exists - needs testing whether an older version will be offered or it will be marked as incompatible.
In case of automatic updates, the users will be stuck on last compatible version. Which makes it slightly problematic to inform them of this..

Mack lands Latino endorsements
By Max Pizarro • 04/13/10 1:09pm
Aiming for diversity and trying to flex his contacts across a spectrum of Trenton's political landscape, former Mercer County Freeholder Tony Mack in his bid for mayor today intends to announce the endorsements of several Latino community staples.
The supporters include buiness leader Carmen Melendez; grassroots organizer (and city council candidate) Juan Martinez; Robert Menendez of Security Investigations; recording artist Don Perez; and business leader Victor Delgado.
"It's that grassroots movement," Mack told PolitickerNJ.com. "It's what I love about public service: the ability to reach people. They are all Trentonians and they are all diehard Trentonians. This is very important."
The announcement inevitably throws back-lighting on At-Large Councilman Manuel Segura, the lone Latino running for mayor in a city where the Hispanic voting population totals about 22%. Segura's allies say Mack's endorsements are a scattershot that lacks reach in the community.
But Melendez, who went to high school with Mack, said the endorsements reflect precisely Mack's long-standing presence in Trenton.
"Tony is a Trentonian," said the businesswoman. "A lot of us in our 30's and 40's who graduated from high school feel that with Tony, it's more of a familial flavor. For me, personally, we will be able to catapult the Latino comunity to where we should have been a long time ago. Hopefully, the grassroots community and the home grown quaility make a difference.
"As a human being, Manny is unbelievable," Melendez added. "But what's hurt him is… the worry that if he wins, there are going to be people coming from out of town with no strong commitments to Trenton."

Note: Please see these general guidelines and thoughts to help you as you choose math curriculum. Please also see our review policy disclosure, which is to comply with FTC regulations and explains our review policy.
I recently had the opportunity to review the Mammoth Math curriculum–a unique curriculum with lots of options (you can purchase it by grade or by concept, and it comes as either a download, physical CD, or printed material). Its flexibility could make it a good fit for those looking for a way to review or teach a specific concept or for a flexible textbook approach.
Whether you're looking for a curriculum or not, you may want to check out the wide variety of free worksheet generators Mammoth Math/HomeschoolMath.net offers. The generators cover concepts ranging from the typical (such as addition and fractions) to the more unusual (such as foreign currencies and scientific notation)–and they're all quite customizable. The ones on foreign currencies especially might be a fun supplement to use alongside learning about different countries. You could even cut out the coins from the worksheets, making them into pretend money, and then set up an imaginary store and buy things in the foreign currency. Make it even more challenging by looking up the exchange rate and estimating the cost in U.S. dollars!
The site also offers a downloadable sample of the curriculum that includes a generous amount of materials (more than 300 pages) when you sign up for their newsletter or their "Math Mammoth Tour" (an e-mail a day for seven days on the curriculum).
Grade Level(s): Curriculum series covers grades 1-6; worksheet series covers grades 3-8.
Price: $32/grade for the complete curriculum as a download; downloads on individual topics are available for less than $7 each; worksheets only (no teaching text) and discounted bundle packages are also available. Print versions are available (prices vary) through LuLu.
Math Mammoth offers both a complete curriculum series for grades 1-6 (their Light Blue Series) and the same basic material arranged by concept (their Blue Series) for those looking for a workbook on a specific concept as opposed to an entire grade. They also have just worksheets without concept presentations for grades 3-8 available, although these Golden and Green series would be more suitable for tutors or classroom teachers than for homeschoolers.
The material is available in either a digital format (either downloadable or on a CD) or a printed format. The digital format cuts down on the initial cost, although you will need to print out the worksheets yourself.
This curriculum is designed to be extremely flexible—the author, a math teacher and homeschool mother from Finland, encourages users to use the books as a "framework," spending as little or as much time as needed rather than focusing on finishing the entire book. In her "User Guide," she explains that while some pages are filled with drill problems, parents only need to assign the number the child needs—even if that is only one half or two thirds of the total ones given (a suggestion I heartily echo, no matter what curriculum you use).
Each chapter covers a concept and includes an overview for the parents, a list of related online resources, and presentations and worksheets for the students. The author has also created online worksheet generators (see www.homeschoolmath.net/worksheets) parents can use to generate additional worksheets if needed (although there are an ample number of worksheets in the books themselves).
As far as content goes, I appreciate how the curriculum tries to explain concepts with understanding and brings in practical word problems or examples. The program also uses a lot of pictures to help students connect abstract numbers with real-life objects. I did not notice examples of math in science, historical information, or any mentions of the Lord. The program includes a lot of game suggestions and links as supplements. Parents will want to selectively use the links and supplement the material with more science and history examples, as well as bring in the biblical perspective. The program also contains a lot of problems for each concept, and I definitely would echo the author's reminder to only use what you need.
I see the program's greatest strength as an inexpensive way to review or teach a specific concept. For example, if your child is struggling with fractions, you could purchase the fractions material from the Blue Series and work through some of the pages. I know a mother who is using it that way and really liking it. Since the material comes as a download, you only need to print out what you need. It could also be a good fit for those looking for a flexible textbook approach.

Just got back from our full day ride. Went from the as far west as sprucedale and east as far as Edgewater park . It was awesome, I don't have scratchers took our time riding double.
idletime replied to idletime's topic in Du Ya Wanna Trail Riders S.C.
Awesome thanks for the info. Conditions looked better starting after Highway 60. My son says they keep getting better all the way into Restoule area. Port Sydney area needs snow badly.
idletime posted a topic in Du Ya Wanna Trail Riders S.C.
Heading up to Port Sydney tomorrow for a week I will update the website as I can . Thanks for your update.
We rode the forest last weekend and it was great. Considering the weather I would go back in a minute. Silver Maple hotel was great as well. Good place to stay.
Haliburton Forest Info Fred is mostly correct. Cost is $50.00 per day tax in & $10.00 if you have a passenger. I rode it 2 weeks ago and it was very good. I like to ride there once a season, usually my first ride. Unless you go way north it is the first to open and the last to close. We like to stay at Windemere cottages. You can ride right into the forest right from your cottage. Cottages are very close to the forest parking lot. It's size is good for about 2 days of riding and real good for beginner snowmobilers or small kids because the warm up shelters are great for a weather break and there are outhouses at the shelters.
Awsome!! everything was perfect Thankyou landowners and all surrounding clubs for perfect trails. Not many riders out however I wonder why??

16th street. Willie Lloyd was a feared member of the Vice Lords, and he increased that fear in others when he gunned down an Iowa state trooper in 1970. In 1971 he was sentenced to do time in prison. In 1986 Willie Lloyd was released from prison, a year later in 1987 he sent back to prison for gun charges. He sat in prison until 1992 when he was released again, then in 1994 he was put back in prison for gun charges again, he was then sent to federal prison in 1994. He was released in 2001 as a changed man, he now spoke out against violence on the streets and the growing epidemic of drugs. Willie Lloyd's new concepts pretty much matched the CVL concepts of the late 60s about urban renewal and keeping kids away from guns and drugs. His new beliefs were seen as a threat to some members of the VLs so in 2003 he was shot in Garfield park and paralyzed from the neck down. he has now retired from gang life. The Unknown Vice lords continue to have a heavy presence on the west side of Chicago and continue to be a violent street gang.

Colts Mailbag: Slowing Down Patrick Mahomes, Mounting Injuries, Defensive Adjustments
In this week's Colts Mailbag, readers inquire about what the team can try to do to slow down quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs' offense on Sunday night, how to account for multiple injuries, defensive adjustments and much more.
INDIANAPOLIS — Each week, Colts.com readers can submit their questions to have a chance of them being answered in our Mailbag series.
Missed out on the party this week? Not a problem — you can submit your question(s) for next time by clicking here.
Let's jump right into this week's questions:
Richard G. (Nashville, Ind.): "How are we going to limit the Big splays from The Chiefs offense. And disrupt Mahomes timing. Can we get a pass rush and maintain leverage so he can't escape? Offensively, what is our plan to create momentum?"
Walker: I think there are a couple primary keys when facing Patrick Mahomes and this super talented Kansas City Chiefs offense. The first is to get consistent pressure on Mahomes, of course, but do so while keeping him contained to the pocket; when he's able to escape and make plays on the run, that seems to be when he's at his most dangerous.Then I'd say it's critical to make sure you're blanketing tight end Travis Kelce — which is easier said than done. Kelce had seven receptions for 108 yards back in January in the Chiefs' Divisional Round victory over the Colts, and I think if you can keep him as contained as possible in the middle of the field, and then make sure you're not getting beat deep, then that should help. Offensively, I think it's important to stick with the run. Even if the Chiefs get out to an early lead, it's important to remember that Kansas City's defense allows 5.9 yards per carry on the ground, which ranks dead last in the NFL. If you can gash the Chiefs on the ground and open things up with the passing game down the field. then you can likely score the points needed to keep up in this one.
Cole L. (Norwich, Ohio): "Many "fans" are already marking the Colts down for loss against the Chiefs. I believe this is will be a great game and the Colts definitely have a chance to win. What position group needs to perform extremely well for us to win?"
Walker: I think the defensive line as a unit needs to have its best game of the season on Sunday night against the Chiefs. Kansas City has been excellent up front so far, allowing just three sacks of Mahomes, but I think a performance by this Colts defensive front that results in that number doubling, or even tripling, could go a long, long way. I think it's imperative that the defensive ends, especially, not only get quality rushes, but that they set the edge so that Mahomes can't escape the pocket and make off-schedule plays, as mentioned above. Get to Mahomes early and often, keep getting the ball back to your offense and take the crowd out of it and who knows what can happen from there?
Scott H. (Cincinnati): "Do you expect the Colts to make any changes on defense in regards of scheme due to the injuries that seem to keep piling up on that side of the ball?"
Walker: Hey Scott, I don't think the scheme itself has much to do with how the team cycles in players due to injuries. I think one thing getting lost in all the chatter about the Colts' base defense that they do employ is that it is generally very simple and easy for younger, less experienced players to pick up and be successful with. Indy still has a very young defensive unit, overall, so while you can throw more at the players as they go — disguises, blitz packages, coverages, etc. — you have to ensure that they understand and can execute the base package first before taking the next steps. Injuries, of course, only complicate this, but the Colts certainly won't make any excuses, as every team has to deal with them on a week-to-week basis.
Paul M. (Pittston, Pa.): "Quick question. When a player drops 3 balls during a game do the coaches make him spend extra time on the Jugs gun?"
Walker: Sometimes. It depends. Some players get additional footballs thrown (or shot) their way during the week, while with others respond differently; something along the lines of "It's just a bad stretch and they'll break out of it." Here's how head coach Frank Reich described the Colts' approach to drops. "We have a pretty significant routine that we go through," Reich said. "Each position coach has a catch circuit routine that he goes through with his guys. It's something that we do consistently the whole offseason when we can and then obviously in training camp. So you just continue to work on it. If a guy has a dropped ball or two, it's pretty normal for him just to kind of work himself through it and then maybe double up or triple up on a catch circuit and make sure he gets a few extra catches."
Balázs Á. (Budapest, Hungary): "Hi Andrew, I am Balázs, a die hard Colts fan from Budapest, Hungary and I have a little bit offtopic question: what kind of wristwatch wore by Coach Reich during the OAK game? It was an eyecatching, stylish piece of work. Thank you! Go Colts"
Walker: You mean this one? I'm told it's an OMEGA Seamster brand watch. Sharp, sharp piece.
Willard M. (Indianapolis): "What is the Colts won-lost record since moving to Indianapolis? Home? Away?"
Walker: Andrew "Google" Walker at your service. The Colts have a 296-267 (.526) regular season record since moving to Indianapolis back in 1984. That includes a 165-117 (.585) record in home regular season games at the RCA Dome and Lucas Oil Stadium, and a 131-150 (.466) record on the road. Can you believe you get this kind of service for free?
Jayshon W. (Little Rock, Ark.): "Hey Andrew, a quarter into the season were 2-2 tied in the division with injuries to our WR and safety unit which leaves us with inexperienced players do you think if we don't make a move to address the needs either trading before the deadline or signing someone like we did with Mitchell last year it might jeopardize our chances at making the playoffs?"
Walker: Offensively, in my opinion, I think you just ride it out at wide receiver until you're at full strength. T.Y. Hilton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, which, to me, is a good sign in and of itself that his quad is healing up nicely. Even if he isn't able to play or be at full strength Sunday night, he can take advantage of a few days off next week during the bye week, and then (hopefully) be good to go for Indy's Week 7 game against the Houston Texans. By then it won't be long until the team could decide to return No. 2 wide receiver Devin Funchess to practice and determine if his surgically-repaired collarbone is good to go to officially remove him from injured reserve and place him back onto the active roster; the earliest Funchess could play would be Week 10. To me, it's much harder to find a wide receiver on the street that can make an immediate impact, especially within an offense as diverse as Frank Reich's. Indy struck gold last year with its midseason acquisition of Dontrelle Inman, but Inman had previously excelled with Reich and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni during their time together with the Chargers. Guys like that just usually aren't going to be there for the taking on the open market during the season. Defensively, I think there's a chance the Colts dig into the free agent pool if the injuries to Malik Hooker (knee), Clayton Geathers (concussion) or Rolan Milligan (knee) linger much longer. The only other safeties currently on the roster are Khari Willis and George Odum, and while it's nice to have a versatile piece like Quincy Wilson who the Colts believe can slide back from cornerback and play some safety, one can imagine the team has a list of available free agents ready to go just in case, much like it did back in Week 6 last year with Mike Mitchell.
Terry O. (Bristow, Va.): "Grew up in Indy and am a big fan. I've been surprised by the defense's difficulty this year, especially Justin Houston. Why do you think he hasn't had more success sacking the quarterback and how can we get him more involved?"
Walker: Hey Terry, I think my best advice would be not to get too concerned with a two-week stretch of less-than-stellar pass rush from this defense — particularly from a guy like Justin Houston. Remember: this defense started off the season as one of the best pass-rushing units the first two weeks against the Los Angeles Chargers and the Tennessee Titans, so these things can swing in one direction or the other pretty quickly. As for Houston, even the best pass rushers have occasional "slumps." During his 10.0-sack season back in 2012, for example, he had two separate three-game stretches without a sack, but he also had a 3.0-sack game and two 2.0-sack performances. I'm also anticipating that the continued emergence of Jabaal Sheard on the other edge will help take attention away from Houston and get him more favorable matchups here moving forward. Stay tuned.
Steven W. (Jefferson City, Mo.): "How is Hale Hentges doing? I haven't much about him."
Walker: Hale Hentges continues to grind it out each and every day in practice as a member of the 53-man roster, but is yet to be active for gameday and make his NFL debut. Last year Frank Reich showed for the most part that his offense only needs three active tight ends during games, and so for now Hentges is on the outside looking in while Jack Doyle, Eric Ebron and Mo Alie-Cox do their thing. But Hentges continues to do things the right way and it seems like he genuinely appreciates the opportunity he's been given. When it is his time to play, that'll be one heck of a moment for him.
Mick L. (Houston): "Do you think Jordan Wilkins will ever get a shot at Rb1, or are we too high on Mack? Seems every time #20 carries the ball good things happen. I know he doesn't have "top end" speed but he's tied for most 50+ yard runs since entering the league. I think he has much better patience and vision than Mack and really think he'd be a star in this league."
Walker: For now, Marlon Mack is the guy at running back for the Colts. And believe me, that's no slight to Jordan Wilkins (or any other back on the roster). It's just clear to this coaching staff that Mack has the overall package they want in a running back: speed, explosiveness, blocking ability, patience, etc. Wilkins, Nyheim Hines and Jonathan Williams certainly bring those elements, too, but Mack is the clear starter at running back.
Richard H. (Franklin, Ind.): "What role will new DT Trevon Coley play this Sunday against the Chiefs?"
Walker: That's a good question, Richard. Because I can totally see Trevon Coley active and getting a few snaps along the defensive line against the Chiefs, and I also wouldn't be surprised if he was a healthy scratch, seeing as he was just acquired by the team earlier this week. There weren't any outside free agents signed to the active roster last year along the defensive line that I can look at and compare their situations, either. But at 6-1, 310 pounds, Coley will certainly be counted on to help shore up the Colts' run defense as an interior contributor. He has almost 1,300 defensive snaps to his credit from the last two seasons with the Cleveland Browns, and he's also someone who can contribute on special teams, so I'll be interested to see what he can do whenever he is active.
Robert T. (Indianapolis): "When are we going to change the Tampa 2 defense to a man to man defense."
Walker: We got a lot of questions this week about the Colts' defense, but Robert, when it comes down to it, I think it's more about execution and less about what scheme is being run. I think some fans believe the Colts are simply running a straight zone defense virtually every snap of every game, which is not the case at all. In fact, The Athletic's Stephen Holder this week broke down Indy's defensive performance against the Oakland Raiders, and found that the Colts were actually in man-to-man coverage in one-third of Oakland's designed passing plays. The Colts also brought all sorts of different kinds of blitzes to try to rattle Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, but they just weren't able to really get home on any of them. So defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is trying to mix it up; sometimes it comes down to the right play call at the right time, and sometimes it just simply comes down to execution. Let's check back in on the Colts' defense around the midway point of the season and see where it is.
Sean C. (Indianapolis): "Hi, i just wanted to know what's going on with our defense. And also do we need to purse other corner backs in free angency cause desir is getting beat almost Everytime and hooker as great as he is is injury prone so do we have a defence that could get to 1st and second round in the post season."
Walker: Well, Sean, Pierre Desir, by my calculations, is yet to get beat for a touchdown this season, and the one long play in 2019 that could be considered on him was a 34-yard pass play Week 3 against Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons, when Desir simply fell down midway through Jones' route. And let's not forget: every starter this year returned from the Colts' defense that helped carry the team to the second round in the postseason in 2018; the hope is that the added pieces this offseason, including veterans like Justin Houston and rookies like Rock Ya-Sin, Khari Willis and others, will eventually start to mesh in with those returning from last year to form an even better unit overall down the stretch. Again, let's give this thing a few more weeks and get a larger sample size before suggesting wholesale changes.
Steve B. (Dayton, Ohio): "What (if anything)can we take away from the Lions as far as slowing down the Chiefs explosive offense? Or do you think last week was a fluke? Either way, it won't be a simple task, especially with our plethora of injuries on Defense."
Walker: You're right, Steve, it won't be easy lining up against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense on Sunday, which would've been the case whether or not the Indy defense had been hit with a few injuries here recently. But you make a good point: there is very recent film out there of a defense playing relatively well as a unit against Kansas City in the form of the Lions last week in Detroit. The Lions also came into the game banged up on defense — they were missing top cornerback Darius Slay and talented defensive tackles Da'Shawn Hand and Mike Daniels — but still were able to frustrate Mahomes at times by constantly using formations with lots of defensive backs on the field, such as their dime and nickel packages. Mahomes missed on more throws that usual, and he didn't toss a touchdown pass, breaking his streak of 14 straight games with multiple TD tosses. But ultimately Mahomes still found ways to make clutch plays, and even did it with his legs late in the contest, as he ran to get two huge conversions — one on third down, and the other on fourth down — in the fourth quarter. Perhaps that's what's so frustrating playing this Chiefs offense: you can do a pretty solid job limiting one strength, but Mahomes & Co. can still find other ways to beat you. "It's a very unique scheme to the NFL," Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus said. "They have a skillset that's unmatched in the NFL – their speed is on display and they use space to create for those players and get the ball in space to those players. Coach (Andy) Reid does a heck of a job building that offense and building it around the skill that he has. So it's going to be a heck of a challenge for our defense."
Geary Y. (Anchorage, Alaska): "Good morning, going into the season, Andrew luck retiring aside, I felt them and still felt now that we have the best team in the AFC South, With that what is your take on who our biggest threat in the devision? I feel the Jaguars will be the major hurdle we will have to over come in the decision based ok what i have seen through the first quarter thank you for your time"
Walker: Good morning Geary. To me, if you're trying to find the biggest threat in the AFC South Division, I think you have to start with the best overall quarterback. And, yes, the Jacksonville Jaguars' Gardner Minshew is playing extremely well so far, especially for a rookie, but I think it starts with Deshaun Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans. Watson is playing extremely well for Houston, as he's completed 82-of-126 passes (65.1 percent) for 938 yards with six touchdowns to just one interception, while he also has three touchdowns on the ground already. If Watson can play at that high of a level and the Houston defense can continue putting up even mediocre numbers, then that, in my opinion, is the biggest threat to the Colts in the AFC South so far. One caveat, however: Watson has already been sacked 18 times this season. Indy allowed 18 sacks all year in 2018. If this pace continues, Watson will have been sacked 72 times by season's end, which isn't … ideal. So keep an eye on that, for sure.
Toby Z. (Amarillo, Texas): "Why are they going to move Quincy Wilson to safety there are Some safeties out there On the open market"
Walker: Hey Toby, feel free to submit a list of the safeties out there on the open market that you've been scouting that can come in and be effective against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense with just three days of practice under them. And if you can find any safeties that fit that criteria, will they be willing to take a lesser role once Clayton Geathers and Malik Hooker return? Are they a good fit within the Colts locker room, in general? This isn't EA Sports' Madden NFL 20; you can't just plug a guy in from the outside without considering the practice and preparation time required to be ready to go and then just leave it up the computer to get the job done. The Colts' personnel staff is constantly doing its due diligence and bringing in free agents for visits/workouts, so one can imagine that if there was someone available the team felt it could handle such a role, then it would've already signed them. So what you do is you leave it up to the players you have and your coaching staff to figure out a way to get it done.
Pam K. (Indianapolis): "Marlon Mac how many yards as he have total "
Walker: I believe this is the second straight week Pam has utilized Andrew "Google" Walker in the Colts Mailbag. So, for that, I'll give you this: click here for your answer.

Johannes Adrianus (Joop) van den Ende, född 23 februari 1942 i Amsterdam, är en nederländsk toppchef och mediemagnat.

Joop van den Ende är utbildad snickare och tekniker.  1956 medverkade han för första gången i en teaterpjäs och som 17-åring köpte han rättigheterna till TV-serien Batman. 1960 medverkade han som clownen Tako i ett barnprogram.  Joop var också programledare och hade en kabaré med musikaliskt stöd av dans- och underhållningsorkestern The Rhythm Jiggers under ledning av Theo Coupon.  Joop van den Ende ville själv bli artist men han saknade talang. Därför startade Joop 1962 en butik för festartiklar och en teaterbyrå. Dessutom satte han upp en revy med en då okänd komiker André van Duin. Dessa revyer fick stor framgång och Joop blev för första gången ett välkänt namn i Nederländerna.

1966 blev han manager för gruppen Mokum Beat Five. I början av 1970-talet producerade han sina första teaterproduktioner för TV med bl.a. Jeroen Krabbé, Willy van Hemert, Ko van Dijk och Rudi Falkenhagen. Under de kommande åren gjorde Joop olika framgångsrika TV-produktioner som exempelvis Dagboek van een Herdershond (1971), de Playbackshow, de Soundmixshow och de Surpriseshow (alla med Henny Huisman) och Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden. 1975 skapade han också den nederländska TV-serien Bassie en Adriaan.

1989 började Joop på TV-kanalen TV10. Kanalen fick dock inget sändningstillstånd i Nederländerna och Joop sökte sig istället till den mindre framgångsrika kanalen RTL Veronique.

1993 slog Joop upp portarna för Circustheater i Scheveningen med musikalen Les Misérables. 1994 började han samarbeta med den dittills närmaste största konkurrenten John de Mole. Tillsammans startade de produktionsbolaget Endemol som några år senare introduceras på börsen.
I början av 1990-talet försökte Joop ta sin in på Broadway med musikalen Cyrano. Musikalen floppade och Joop led stor ekonomisk förlust. Även TV-nöjesparken ShowbizCity som öppnades 1997 kostade honom mycket pengar.  1999 försämrades Joops hälsa och han valde därför att året därefter lämna Endemol (som vid det laget köpts av spanska Telefonica. Han sålde sin andel på 26%, blev miljardär, och fokuserade hädanefter helt på att producera stora musikaler i Nederländerna, Tyskland och USA via sitt produktionsbolag Stage Holding.

2001 grundade han tillsammans med sin fru VandenEnde Foundation
2002 köpte han det tyska konkursdrabbade musikalproduktionsbolaget Stella, artistskolan Stella Academy samt tog över dess elva stora musikalproduktioner och teatrar i Tyskland. De följande åren expanderade Stage Holding i Spanien, Frankrike, Italien, Storbritannien och Ryssland. 2003 blev Joop via Stage Holding vid en nyemission delägare i svenska StagePool AB och blev affärspartner med bl.a. Erik Penser och Björn Ulvaeus (vars musikal Mamma Mia! han satt upp i både Tyskland och Spanien. Bolaget bytte 2005 namn till Stage Entertainment. Den 3 april 2006, köpte han via sin investmentfond VandenEnde & Deitmers Crossmedia Fund 30% av aktierna i TV-produktionsbolaget Eyeworks.

Joop van den Ende bor i Baarn och är gift med Janine Klijberg, med vilken han har två barn, Iris och Vincent. Han har också en son från sitt första äktenskap.

Stock Market History: Look to 1962, 1987 for Closest Parallels
January 4, 2022| by Chris Preston
Was the coronavirus crash unprecedented in stock market history? Not quite, but it was rare. The closest parallels may be 1962 and 1987.
There's almost no precedent for what we saw in March of 2020. Sure, stock market crashes happen every few years, give or take. But 30% in less than a month? That's rare. How rare? We had to dig back far into the stock market history archives for the nearest parallels: 1962 and 1987. Let's look at them both.
Here is a chart of the 1962 market crash, from top to bottom and back again:
This chart, courtesy of Marotta Wealth Management, shows the S&P 500 crash that began on December 12, 1961, and bottomed on June 26, 1962—a 28% decline in roughly six and a half months, though the vast majority of the decline occurred over just a few weeks. From that bottom, it took just over 14 months for the market to fully recover. However, the bottom itself only lasted about five months, as stocks really got going to the upside after a re-test of the low that October when the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred.
You know you can do it. But how?
The current stock market is creating huge opportunities to invest - even during a pandemic. And unless you majored in finance or are a stock broker yourself, you may not feel confident enough to start investing on your own.
This free report aims to give you the confidence - and the right know-how - to dive right into the stock market. We'll show you how.

Don't be left out!
The pandemic crash, of course, surpassed the 1962 decline in terms of depth and speed, down 34% at its nadir, on March 23. So, perhaps the 1987 crash is a better parallel. Let's look at the chart first:
That sudden market nosedive centered around the infamous Black Monday crash on October 19, 1987, in which the S&P fell 22% in just one trading day—still the worst one-day decline on a percentage basis in stock market history. The S&P had topped out two months earlier, but Black Monday accelerated the losses in a similar way to how the first three weeks of March accounted for the worst of the current market crash. From top to bottom in 1987, stocks fell 33.5% in about three and a half months, with the bottom coming in early December—about six weeks after Black Monday.
As you can see from the chart, there was a decent bounce that December, as stocks rose 12.5% in three weeks. From there, the S&P traded in a range between 252 and 283 for all of 1988 before pushing to new all-time highs by the middle of 1989.
The bulk of the 1987 stock market crash took place in a two-month span, falling 32% from late September to late November. Typically, those types of losses occur over a longer, more drawn-out period. The worst of the 2008-09 subprime mortgage crash, for example, lasted nearly seven months, during which time the S&P plummeted more than 46%. But from start to finish, that global recession-fueled crash lasted roughly 17 months, the first 10 of which were more like a slow trickle before it became a full-on geyser in September 2008.
This coronavirus market pullback, of course, was anything but a trickle. It's was a geyser from the start, with wild, record market swings on almost a daily basis for just over a month. Thus, it looks more like 1987 on a chart.
What really differentiates the pandemic crash from 1987 is the speed of the recovery. Once the S&P hit bottom it took only five months to return to previous levels, unlike the 1988-89 recovery, which took almost two years. And since that five-month rally, the S&P has returned over 40%.
In both historical bits of sordid stock market history I just mentioned, stocks took less than a year and a half to put in a firm bottom, before they started zooming upward again. History repeated itself with the pandemic market recovery although on a much-accelerated timescale.
The next time the market softens and starts looking ugly, let us guide you through the mess. We've seen it all in our 50 years in business, including the 1987 market crash, the 2008-09 recession and a once-in-a-lifetime (hopefully) pandemic. Through each downturn, we've helped prevent our readers from losing their shirts in the bad times, and made them a lot of money in the good times—which far outnumber the bad times.
Good times will come again. Even if it doesn't feel like it in the moment.

Antique Maps of Russia and Eastern Europe/
1730 Seutter Map of Southern Russia and Ukraine
ImperiiMoscovitici-seutter-1730
Beautiful map of southern Russia and Ukraine.
Imperii Moscovitici pars Australis in lucem edita per Guillielmum de l'Isle, Regis Galliae Geographum.
1730 (undated) 20.5 x 24 in (52.07 x 60.96 cm) 1 : 2500000
This is an attractive 1730 map of southern Russia and Ukraine by the important Augsburg map publisher Georg Matthaus Seutter. It depicts from Novgorod south to Lutik and east as far as Kokchaga. Includes towns, roads rivers, lakes, mountains, forests and other details. Shows Moscow, Kiev and other major cities in the region. The map is based on the work of Guillaume Delisle and like most of Delisle's work, is beautifully engraved with forests and mountains rendered in profile and swamps, oceanic and river depths in hachure. This map was issued by Matthaus Seutter in 1730.
Matthäus Seutter (1678 - 1757) was one of the most important and prolific German map publishers of the 18th century. Seutter was born the son of a goldsmith but apprenticed as a brewer. Apparently uninspired by the beer business, Seutter abandoned his apprenticeship and moved to Nuremberg where he apprenticed as an engraver under the tutelage of the prominent J. B. Homann. Sometime in the early 1700s Seutter left Homann to return to Augsburg, where he worked for the prominent art publisher jeremiad Wolff (1663 - 1724), for whom he engraved maps and other prints. Sometime around 1717 he established his own independent cartographic publishing firm in Augsburg. Though he struggled in the early years of his independence, Seutter's engraving skill and commitment to diversified map production eventually attracted a substantial following. Most of Seutter's maps are heavily based upon, if not copies of, earlier work done by the Homann and De L'Isle firms. Nonetheless, by 1731/32 Seutter was one of the most prolific publishers of his time and was honored by the German Emperor Karl VI who gave him the title of Imperial Geographer, after which most subsequent maps included the Avec Privilege designation. Seutter continued to publish until his death, at the height of his career, in 1757. Seutter had two engraver sons, Georg Matthäus Seutter (1710 - 173?) and Albrecht Carl Seutter (1722 - 1762). Georg Matthäus quit the business and relocated to Woehrdt in 1729 (and probably died shortly thereafter), leaving the family inheritance to his wastrel brother Albrecht Carl Seutter, who did little to advance the firm until in own death in 1762. Following Albrecht's death, the firm was divided between the established Johann Michael Probst (1727 - 1776) firm and the emerging firm of Tobias Conrad Lotter. Lotter, Matthäus Seutter's son-in-law, was a master engraver and worked tirelessly on behalf of the Suetter firm. It is Lotter, who would eventually become one of the most prominent cartographers of his day, and his descendants, who are generally regarded as the true successors to Matthäus Seutter. (Ritter, M. Seutter, Probst and Lotter: An Eighteenth-Century Map Publishing House in Germany., "Imago Mundi", Vol. 53, (2001), pp. 130-135.) Learn More...

La punaise de Google Maps est une icône en forme de goutte à l'envers qui marque les emplacements dans Google Maps. L'icône est protégée par un brevet de dessin américain en tant qu'« icône ombrée en forme de larme ». Google a réutilisé cette punaise sur différentes images et jeux, ainsi que sur du matériel promotionnel.

La punaise, parfois appelé « le marqueur », a été largement réutilisée par d'autres entreprises, organisations et particuliers, pour leurs actions artistiques, illustrer leur revendications ou faire leur propre promotion commerciale. Sa reproduction physique ou numérique est souvent utilisée comme symbole d'un logiciel cartographique ou des technologies de l'information et de la communication dans leur ensemble.

La punaise Google Maps a été qualifiée de « produit purement fonctionnel devenu phénomène culturel » et  de « réponse à un problème technique qui aurait acquis une vie propre, se révélant suffisamment identifiable pour pénétrer l'art et le stylisme d'autres projets ». « Semblable à une montgolfière en vol, cette icône a conquis notre culture visuelle ».

En 2014, le MoMA a acquis une représentation plastique de la punaise Google Maps pour sa collection permanente.

Historique
Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen a conçu le style des punaises avant le lancement de Google Maps en 2005. Il voulait que l'icône marque avec précision un point sur une carte sans en occulter l'emplacement. Le corps principal du marqueur est circulaire dans sa partie supérieure, mais se rétrécit en pointe à son extrémité inférieure, figurant une goutte à l'envers. Une ombre s'étend de la pointe inférieure, conférant au marqueur une représentation tridimensionnelle.

Dans la version initiale de Google Maps, la punaise était étiquetée des lettres A à J quand il y avait plus d'un résultat de recherche. Dans ses versions ultérieures, elle était présentée avec un point noir enchâssé pour marquer un unique emplacement En 2011, Google a publié une refonte mineure de l'icône : sa bordure noire est devenue rouge foncé pour en adoucir l'aspect.

Utilisation par Google
Google a utilisé sa punaise en ligne et sur support papier pour ses campagnes commerciales. Elle est au premier plan de l'icône de l'application mobile Google Maps, au dessus d'une carte stylisée contentant la lettre G pour Google.

Matériel promotionnel

La punaise a été utilisée sur des objets promotionnels comme des verres à bière, des autocollants et des manchons isolants de tasse à café dans diverses campagnes commerciales Google a également conçu et vendu des T-shirts qui affichent la punaise Google Maps accompagné de la légende « Je suis ici ».

Adresses préférées

Utilisation par d'autres organisations
L'API Google Maps permet aux développeurs de créer des cartes personnalisées avec leurs propres marqueurs.

Inclusion dans des logos
Bien que protégé un brevet de dessin américain, d'autres organisations utilisent la punaise Google Maps comme élément constitutif de leur propre logo.

Dans la culture populaire
La punaise Google Maps a dépassé son dessein initial pour devenir quasi-emblématique dans la culture populaire. Rob Walker la cite comme un exemple de matérialisation, « un objet numérique devenu objet matériel.»

JY beveling machine waterproof sleeve is made of high quality rubber and other materials. The utility model is mainly used at the demarcation point between the water circuit and the circuit of glass machinery, and is used to prevent water leakage to the motor, resulting in short circuit or burnout of the motor. Because the waterproof sleeve is corroded by water and glass powder for a long time, it is easy to cause rubber aging and damage. Therefore, it is necessary to check and replace it regularly, at least once or twice a year, to prevent damage to the motor caused by leakage and burning.

So the scientist in me is getting going and wanting to do something a bit out of the ordinary. With my foray into mix fermentations lately, I have ended up with some interesting flavors and combinations. And clearly, I am not too worried about calling it when it doesn't work out (see coffee Porter attempt).
For this next beer, I am going to brew a pretty typical farmhouse lager. I am going to use the White Labs San Francisco Lager strain (WLP810), which ferments well at near ale temperatures and produce a clean lager character. For a secondary fermentation, I am going to let Brett Claussenii (WLP645) go to work and do its thing… This is typically a "low intensity" Brett strain, producing fruity and pineapple character, rather than horseblanket or other earthy Brett flavors. I think that this will pair nicely in the farmhouse style lager, making a complex, but easy drinking sour ale.
So far, I've got the yeasts going… Slowly stepping them up to their required pitch rates for the lager primary and Brett secondary fermentations. At each phase of the yeast propagation, both the sacc. and Brett. have created some really great flavors. I ink when actually put into a nicely balance farmhouse ale, the result could be wonderful!


In 2015, as Americans worried about terrorist attacks at home and abroad, a disturbing new study showed that while 71 Americans were killed in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil over the past decade, more than 300,000 were killed by gun violence. A report in the Guardian showed that African Americans were more than twice as likely to be unarmed when killed during encounters with the police as white citizens. Glen Starks's African Americans at Risk: Issues in Education, Health, Community and Justice examines why African Americans are disadvantaged in comparison with the majority population.
We were shocked when the media showed a picture of a toddler, a Syrian refugee, washed up on the surf of the Turkish coast and saddened when terrorist attacks in Paris killed more than 120 people and injured some 200. These events prompted discussions of what to do about an escalating exodus of refugees from war-torn countries. Asian American Society: An Encyclopedia from SAGE reminds us that although the United States is a nation of refugees, assimilation is not always easy. On the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, ABC-CLIO published Modern Genocide, which describes each atrocity in text and documents.
The subject of the birds, bees, and butterflies brought us some wonderful new sources. Parrots of the Wild from the University of California Press was the culmination of a life spent researching some 350 species of parrots. Complete with 900 beautiful color illustrations, Joseph Wilson and Olivia Carril's The Bees in Your Backyard addressed some 4,000 different species, while Monarchs in a Changing World from Cornell University Press enhanced our knowledge of the mysterious monarch butterfly.
To honor the centennial of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, Princeton University Press produced its exceptional An Einstein Encyclopedia, which looks at Einstein as a personality, scientist, political figure, humanitarian, and even poet.
Food was also a hot topic for reference publishers. The launch of Oxford University Press's Savoring Gotham: A Food Lover's Companion to New York City, edited by Andrew Smith, was complete with local food, wine, and beer. Critics also heaped praise on The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets, edited by Darra Goldstein, and the fourth edition of the Oxford Companion to Wine by Jancis Robinson. Finally, The Sage Encyclopedia of Food Issues, edited by Ken Albala, helps readers understand food processing and safety.
Finally, as the world is keeping its eye on Russian president Vladamir Putin, it was good to have Ian Barnes's final gift to us, Restless Empire: A Historical Atlas of Russia, from Harvard University Press, with an entire chapter devoted to "The Putin Era." Barnes, the author of so many great atlases, died in 2014.

French Cinema in Close-up: La Vie D'Un Acteur Pour Moi. Phaeton. 438p. ed. by Michaël Abecassis with Marcelline Block. illus. index. ISBN 9781908420114. $35.
There may be other biographical dictionaries of the French cinema, but none with such engagingly written biographies as this one. Editors Abecassis (French, Oxford Univ.) and Block have assembled an international cast to write personal sketches of actors and actresses in the French cinema. American audiences will recognize names such as Gérard Depardieu, Oscar winners Juliette Binoche and Simone Signoret, and singer-actor Maurice Chevalier. Chevalier's sketch chronicles his many early successes, postwar troubles, and triumphant return to the United States after 1954 with Love in the Afternoon. The highlights of the dictionary are the hand-drawn caricatures by artists Jenny Batlay, who's based in New York, and Igor Bratusek, at the Sorbonne in Paris, that accompany each sketch. Read collectively, the pieces document trends in French cinema and its close connections with the theater.
Gray, John. Carnival, Calypso and Steel Pan: A Bibliographic Guide to Popular Music of the English-speaking Caribbean and its Diaspora. African Diaspora. 479p. index. ISBN 9780984413454. $124.95.
In 1993, bibliographer Gray began to document resources relating to the music of the African diaspora. This title, the sixth in the publisher's "Black Music Reference" series, notes that popular music in the English-speaking Caribbean has two principal hubs. The first was covered in his Jamaican Popular Music. With a Trinidad base, this second hub explores the intertwining of carnival, calypso, and steel pan in some 3,400 entries arranged regionally from Antigua to the Virgin Islands, including West Indian communities in North America. A separate biographical section profiles some 600 individual performers and ensembles. Gray documents how, from their beginnings as colonial harvest celebrations, carnivals became spectacles that are major economic engines for their regions. Criteria for inclusion include research potential and accessibility to researchers.

This sweeping overview of fashion and apparel describes American history through the clothes its citizens wear and wore. Earlier volumes cover the colonial and federal eras and the 20th century through World War II. Here, Blanco (apparel design and merchandising, Dominican Univ.) features 800-plus entries written by more than 100 fashion experts and clothing historians. The entries are arranged alphabetically by period and enhanced by helpful glossaries and detailed bibliographies. Engaging entries include the "mantua makers" who made fitted clothing for 18th-century women and children, the first ready-to-wear men's suits offered at Brooks Brothers in 1849, and the skateboard and surf fashion of recent decades. Well-written and -researched entries are enhanced by black-and-white and color illustrations. Given the popularity of popular culture classes, every library needs a copy.

The more than 400 well-written and well-researched A–Z entries here focus on social and policy aspects of food production, safety, regulation, labeling, marketing, distribution, and consumption. Editor Albala (history, food studies, Univ. of the Pacific; At the Table) is a prolific author and editor of more than 20 books on food. The focus is inclusive and global, as are the contributors. Among the more intriguing articles are "airport meals," which date to the early 1900s in Europe and are designed to provide order to passengers' concept of time; the "food justice movement," which asserts that no one should live without enough food; "food TV," now 24 hours a day; and veganism, a term coined by Donald Watson in 1944.

This wonderful companion to all things related to food in New York is the brainchild of Smith, who teaches courses on culinary topics at the city's New School and edited the award-winning Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America. In 567 alphabetical entries, the 174 contributors (mostly New Yorkers) describe everything from the cronut (the wildly popular 2013 invention of pastry chef Dominque Ansel), deep-fried Twinkies, famous restaurants such as Delmonico's, venues such as the Plaza Hotel, street vendors, odd terms like groggeries (grocery stores in tenements where beer and liquor were sold), and people such as Tim and Nina Zagat who created the famous Zagat Survey.

Barnes, Ian. Restless Empire: A Historical Atlas of Russia. Belknap: Harvard Univ. 240p. illus. maps. bibliog. index. ISBN 9780674504677. $35.
This valuable reference source on the history of Russia in maps is a parting gift from historian Barnes. Early Russian expansion is compared with westward expansion in the United States. While the United States is only 2,500 miles wide, Russia is more than 6,000 miles wide. Administering such vast tracts helps explain Russian political development. From the "Coming of the Slavs" by the fifth century to "The Rise of the Romanovs" beginning in 1613; from "The Winter War of 1939–40" to the "Russian Oil Exports" in the Putin era, this work enhances readers' knowledge of complicated geopolitics.
Encyclopedia of the Incas. Rowman & Littlefield. 324p. ed. by Gary Urton & Adriana von Hagen. illus. maps. index. ISBN 9780759123625. $75; ebk. ISBN 9780759123632.
While the Inca Empire was the largest in the pre-Columbian New World, until recent decades it had drawn less scholarly attention than the Maya and Aztecs. Editors Urton (pre-Columbian Studies, Harvard Univ.) and Peruvian archaeologist von Hagen have gathered 35 Inca specialists to describe key elements of an empire that extended from Colombia to Chile and encompassed coastal plains, mountains, and tropical forests. The Incas did not invent a writing system but used quipus (knotted string devices) for record keeping. There are fascinating entries on fortifications, and their extraordinary road and bridge network, which was some 25,000 miles long, linked Cuzco to the rest of the empire and featured roadside lodgings called tambos every ten to 15 miles. Specialists and students alike will reap the benefits of this helpful reference.
The Kentucky African American Encyclopedia. Univ. of Kentucky. 596p. ed. by Gerald L. Smith & others. illus. index. ISBN 9780813160658. $49.95; ebk. ISBN 9780813160672.
Leaders of the Mexican American Generation: Biographical Essays. Univ. Pr. of Colorado. 362p. ed. by Anthony Quiroz. illus. index. ISBN 9781607323365. $34.95; ebk. ISBN 9781457195877.
Quiroz (history, Texas A&M Univ.–Corpus Christi) argues that a generational approach can be helpful in understanding history and that collective biographies can shed light on these eras. He identifies the period roughly between 1920 and 1960 as the "Mexican American Generation." This anthology includes 13 essays on the men and women in states from Texas to California who advanced the struggle for equal rights and social justice for Mexican Americans. Described are the careers of educator José de la Luz Sáenz, one of the founders of LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens); Héctor García, who founded the AGIF (American GI Forum); 1930s feminist Alice Dickerson Montemayor, who promoted "Ladies LULAC" chapters; and politician Edward Roybal, the first Mexican American elected to the Los Angeles City Council since 1881 and who later served in the U.S. Congress.
Smith, Myron J., Jr. Civil War Biographies from the Western Waters: 956 Confederate and Union Naval and Military Personnel, Contractors, Politicians, Officials, Steamboat Pilots and Others. McFarland. 329p. illus. maps. bibliog. index. ISBN 9780786469673. $75; ebk. ISBN 9781476616988.
The 956 individuals profiled by Civil War historian Smith (director, Tusculum Coll. Lib.) include volunteers, enlisted sailors, military officers, steamboat captains, civilian contractors, and more. Entries are full of fascinating personal details and document both sides of the conflict plus postwar service. Consider William Withers, a hero of the Chickasaw Bayou campaign who was captured at the Siege of Vicksburg and after the war practiced law in Jackson, MS, before moving back to Lexington, KY, to raise horses. Appendixes arrange individuals by organization and campaign. Complete with an exhaustive bibliography, this rich resource will inform scholars and entertain Civil War buffs.
The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Bible and the Arts. 2 vols. Oxford Univ. 1174p. ed. by Timothy Beal. illus. index. ISBN 9780199846511. $395.
In 2011, Oxford published the first two-volume set in its new "Oxford Encyclopedias of the Bible." The series has now reached 16 volumes with this newest edition edited by Beal (religion, Case Western Reserve Univ.). Focus here is on the cultural history of biblical texts, themes, characters, images, and the ideas of scripture and the Bible as they circulate in the arts. Coverage is from ancient times to the present. Some 130 international scholars from a variety of disciplines discuss Margaret Atwood's use of Genesis in The Handmaid's Tale and Bob Marley's references to the Bible while addressing issues of social justice in his music.
Elswit, Sharon Barcan. The Latin American Story Finder: A Guide to 470 Tales from Mexico, Central America and South America, Listing Subjects and Sources. McFarland. 318p. ISBN 9780786478958. $45; ebk. ISBN 9781476622293.
Librarian Elswit (The Jewish Story Finder) spent three years gathering these 470 tales from 21 countries and 75 indigenous tribes of Latin America. Included are tales collected by early Catholic missionaries; told by Sephardic Jews; from indigenous Quechua, Maya, Inca, and Amazonian cultures; and from indentured servants from India. Summaries of stories are arranged thematically from "beginnings and balance" to "strange and mysterious encounters." Geographical notations with connections (cross references) and other variations of the same tale plus a glossary and bibliography make this a pleasure for instructional purposes.
Lent, John A. Asian Comics. Univ. of Mississippi. 400p. illus. index. ISBN 9781628461589. $60; ebk. ISBN 9781626742949.
Lent has spent the last 50 years studying Asian mass communications and comic art research. Here, he provides detailed information on 16 countries arranged by region—East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia (excluding Japan and former parts of the Soviet Union)—describing their histories, key creators, characters, contemporary status, and trends, complemented by 178 black-and-white illustrations. The author notes that nearly every country from China to Sri Lanka has had a "golden age." For Cambodia, political cartoons and then comic books that became prominent in the 1960s and favored by King Norodom Sihanouk ceased to exist under the Khmer Rouge of Pol Pot (1975–79) and have been rejuvenated since 2001 after three artists from France started teaching comic courses at an orphanage.

Modern Genocide: The Definitive Resource and Document Collection. 4 vols. ABC-CLIO. 2270p. ed. by Paul R. Bartrop & Steven Leonard Jacobs. illus. maps. bibliog. index. ISBN 9781610693639. $415; ebk. ISBN 9781610693646.
The word genocide was coined by Polish American Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin, while serving as an adviser to the chief U.S. prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. In the 20th century, according to the editors, genocide assumed unparalleled dimensions in places such as South Africa, Armenia, Bosnia, Cambodia, Darfur, East Timor, Guatemala, Kurdistan, and Rwanda—in addition to the Holocaust. An international team of scholars describe each of these genocides in terms of causes, consequences, perpetrators, victims, bystanders, and international reaction. The work also includes a time line, individual entries on key players, a collection of primary documents, and a bibliography. Depressing reading at times, it will be of enormous value to students and scholars studying these issues and to the general public seeking to understand them.

While there have been several earlier compendia of monarch biology and conservation, the explosion of interest by citizens collecting scientific data has added immeasurably to the body of knowledge of one of the most popular insects in the world. Not intended as a basic primer, this latest volume explores new research on monarchs as herbivores, prey, and hosts; monarchs in a changing climate; conserving North American monarch butterflies; and new perspectives on monarch migration, evolution, and population biology. Authors include an international cast of monarch biologists and conservation practitioners. In a fascinating chapter on the "Journey North," readers learn that monarchs may spend up to ten hours in flight in their migration from Central America to Minnesota.

Wilson, Joseph S. & Olivia Messinger Carril. The Bees in Your Backyard: A Guide to North America's Bees. Princeton Univ. 288p. illus. index. ISBN 9780691160771. $29.95.
Biologists and bee experts Wilson and Carril, dismayed by the mischaracterizations of bees by even trusted news sources, set out to create a guide that was accessible to those without years of training in biology. It may come as a surprise that there are more than 4,000 species of bees. Among other misconceptions are that bees are aggressive and frequently sting and that they are social and live in hives. Consider the family Andrenidae, which includes 4,500 species, of which 1,200 live north of Mexico. Some of the Perditini bee tribe that frequent Southwest desserts are so specialized that they only collect pollen from primroses that bloom at dusk. The 900 color plates are stunning.
Africa: An Encyclopedia of Culture and Society. 3 vols. ABC-CLIO. 1366p. ed. by Toyin Falola & Daniel Jean-Jacques. illus. maps. bibliog. index. ISBN 9781598846652. $294; ebk. ISBN 9781598846669.
This rich reference source, representing the collective efforts of 50 scholars, is designed to serve both scholars and students. Edited by historian Falola (history, Jacob & Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, Univ. of Texas), this work is arranged in 54 sections, one for each country or group of associated islands within Africa. Entries describe each country in terms of such topics as religion, social customs, food, and cuisine but also areas of change and modernization including gender roles, marriage and the family, and the media. Dozens of insets describe various subjects such as the burial practices of Burundi, the poetry of Ghana, and the Lost Boys of Sudan. With country bibliographies and a chronology, it presents the diversity of this continent.
Asian American Society: An Encyclopedia. 4 vols. SAGE. 2027p. ed. by Mary Yu Danico & Anthony C. Ocampo. illus. index. ISBN 9781452281902. $625; ebk. ISBN 9781483365602.
This attractive four-volume source published in collaboration with the Association for Asian American Studies divides equally into two volumes, with some 300-plus entries, and two volumes collecting a vast array of primary documents from 1849 to 2013. Editor Danico (associate dean, Coll. of Environmental Design, California State Polytechnic Univ., Pomona) reminds readers that Asian Americans are not a monolithic group. Contributors are Asian studies specialists, principally from North America, and they describe the history and cultures of 21 Asian American ethnic groups. An article on Cambodians notes that there are 287,000 living in the United States, with large populations in California and Massachusetts. Terms covered include boat people, Bollywood, KPOP, and the 1.5 Generation.
The SAGE Encyclopedia of Educational Technology. 2 vols. SAGE. 915p. ed. by J. Michael Spector. illus. index. ISBN 9781452258225. $375; ebk. ISBN 9781506311296.

Starks is a senior manager in the Defense Department and a biographer of Thurgood Marshall who has written extensively on public administration and American politics. He notes that African Americans comprise more than 13 percent of the United States population but lag well behind the majority in terms of the annual median household income and suffer unemployment rates almost twice as high. He explores some of the primary areas in which African Americans are at the greatest risk of falling behind. Topics focus on education, health, family, children, and crime and criminal justice. For each, the author defines the issue, discusses the implications, and advises ways to improve the situation. This is an important primer for teachers and students.
Sports Leadership: A Reference Guide. Mission Bell Media. 500p. ed. by Mark Dodds & James T. Reese. illus. index. ISBN 9780990730019. $130.
This is one of a series of cutting-edge titles that focus on leadership, a rapidly expanding field of study. Editors Dodds and Reese have both academic and professional sports experience in marketing, law, and management. Contributors are American academics who work in these fields, and they address leadership among athletes, in sports organizations, in coaching and managing, and in sports business as well as leadership ethics. Topics from emergency action plans to ticket operations are covered. Common to all volumes in this series is a helpful leadership glossary created by Jeni McRay (leadership studies, Fort Hays State Univ.). With the value of the sports market in the United States estimated as high as $470 billion and employing 1.6 million people, this is a needed resource.

Some notes on MLA panel #752 on "Anthropocenic Agency in the Nineteenth Century" (Sunday, 10 January, 10:15–11:30 a.m., 8C, ACC).
Siobhan Carroll (Univ. of Delaware), author of An Empire of Air and Water- Uncolonizable Space in the British Imagination, 1750-1850 (2015), spoke on "Mediating Agency in the Nineteenth-Century Anthropocene." To explore the question of which kinds of agency are afforded by different media/forms, Carroll gave a two-part talk. The first part focused on Victorian board games, such as Smith Evans's The Crystal Palace Game (1854), in which players travel along trade routes and navigate sea currents and The British Tourist, produced by the Wallace family, which features sixty-five views of the British Empire. These games are produced somewhat like maps, i.e. printed, folded, portable. A fabulous discussion then of how Victorian games afford agency to the players in a "celebration of swift circulation" and early globalization—yet the player's agency is the point here, i.e. the extent to which the player accepts or not certain narratives of global circulation and imperial power. The second part of the talk focused on Brontë's Villette, whose main character, Lucy Snowe, possesses a form of "planetary consciousness," read here via Nixon's idea of slow violence.
Overall a fantastic panel that showed how "uncanny" the relationship is between the 19C and the Anthropocene.

Regulations on the Foreign Tax Credit
Federal tax reform
The Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations on the Foreign Tax Credit, a long-standing tax benefit that generally allows individuals and businesses to claim a credit for income taxes paid or accrued to foreign governments.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) made major changes to the tax law, including revamping the U.S. international tax system. Specifically, several Foreign Tax Credit provisions were changed, including repeal of section 902, which allowed deemed-paid credits in connection with dividend distributions based on foreign subsidiaries' cumulative pools of earnings and foreign taxes. TCJA also added two separate limitation categories for foreign branch income and amounts includible under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions.
Additionally, the TCJA changed how taxable income is calculated for purposes of the Foreign Tax Credit limitation by disregarding certain expenses and repealing the use of the fair market value method for allocating interest expense.
Finally, the TCJA made systemic changes to U.S. taxation of international income that impact the Foreign Tax Credit calculation. These systemic changes include the introduction of a participation exemption through a dividends received deduction for certain dividends in section 245A and the introduction of GILTI, which subjects to current U.S. taxation foreign earnings that would have been deferred under previous law, albeit at a lower tax rate and subject to extra Foreign Tax Credit restrictions.
The IRS also issued proposed regulations relating to the allocation and apportionment of deductions and creditable foreign taxes, foreign tax redeterminations, availability of Foreign Tax Credits under the Transition Tax, and the application of the Foreign Tax Credit limitation to consolidated groups.
Updates on the implementation of the TCJA can be found on the Tax Reform page of IRS.gov.

The US Preventive Services Task Force issued an updated recommendation for screening all adults for depression. The last update, in 2009, did not recommend screening all adults over 18 but the 2016 update does. Depression in anyone 15 and older is one of the leading causes of disability in the US.
The 2016 update also stresses the value of depression screening for all women who are pregnant and who have given birth in the previous year. The task force based this update on recommendations from the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Screen here for postpartum depression with the Edinburgh Depression Score.
Perinatal depression is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy, affecting as many as one in seven women, according to the ACOG. These episodes can be major or minor, occurring during pregnancy or in the 12 months following childbirth. Depression is often accompanied by anxiety, fear, and feelings of hopelessness that affect the woman, her new baby, and the rest of her family. The risk of depression-related maternal suicide is greater than the risk for hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders that include preeclampsia.
Women suffering from perinatal depression often experience a heightened sense of stress, fatigue, fearfulness, and anxiety. She may neglect the pregnancy, and experience relationship difficulties. Labor and childbirth can be especially traumatic to a depressed mother, who might later have difficulty breastfeeding and bonding with her newborn. A new mother's depression can diminish the quality of life for her entire family.
Babies born to mothers suffering from perinatal depression are at increased risk of preterm delivery and other complications of birth, more frequent NICU admissions, and failure to thrive.
The standard method of screening, recommended now for all adults age 18 or older, is a self-completed questionnaire that explores an individual's mental and emotional state of health and lifestyle factors such as quality of sleep, appetite, interest in social activities, and thoughts of self-harm in the two weeks prior to screening. These screening tools can be administered by any doctor, including family physicians, obstetricians, and gynecologists. The task force recommendation is that every woman be screened for depression at least once during pregnancy.
When perinatal pregnancy is diagnosed, it can often be treated with lifestyle interventions that include improved diet, regular moderate exercise, better sleep, and talk therapy. In extreme cases, medications can be prescribed. Many pregnant and nursing women hesitate to take antidepressants during the perinatal period but repeated studies have shown that treating depression, even with medications, is better for both mothers and babies, rather than letting it go untreated during this very important stage of life.
The latest issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) carries the update and is accompanied by an editorial praising the update by Dr. Michael E. Thase, a professor of psychiatry affiliated with the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of Pennsylvania, both in Philadelphia.
