26th Abu Dhabi International Book Fair 2016: Portrait of a country – Architektur in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi. Vereinigte Arabische Emirate. Abu Dhabi is rapidly becoming the hub of the Arab book trade and the point of reference for booksellers, publishers and distributors in the Arabian Gulf. Almost 1,300 exhibitors from over 60 countries participated in the 26th Abu Dhabi International Book Fair (ADIBF), including artists and 600 authors. We joined the fair and presented our new book: "Architectural Guide United Arab Emirates".
More information on our book (in German): here.
Diverse cultural, intellectual and artistic programme
The 26th edition of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair featured a wide array of books in all languages of the world and a diverse cultural, intellectual and artistic programme. It's one of the oldest book fairs in the region with its mix of books, international and Emirati authors, experts and excited publishers and booksellers. Run by the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCAA), this year's event focused on Italy as the country of honour with famous Italian authors and publishers.

The book fair had invited us to present our new book: the "Architectural Guide United Arab Emirates", which will be available in bookshops and online worldwide in August 2016. The ADIBF has several platforms and sections: Black Box Cinema, Creativity Corner, Culture Programme, Illustrator Corner, Professional Programme, Show Kitchen and Signatures Programme. We, Hendrik Bohle and Jan Dimog, were part of the Culture Programme, where we had 45 minutes for our book presentation. But before that, there was a lot of excitement on the opening day of the fair, especially at the German pavilion. We were able to hand over copies of our book to the German ambassador to the UAE, Dr. Eckhard Lübkemeier and HH Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development. Perfect timing – considering the fact, that we had received the preview copies of our book only a couple of minutes ago from our publisher Philipp Meuser of DOM publishers.

The architecture of all 7 Emirates in one book
We started our research on the Architectural Guide United Arab Emirates at the end of 2013, but have known the country from previous journeys, especially Dubai and Sharjah. The latter played an important role for the practise magma architecture and for Hendrik Bohle as their project architect. Magma architecture and Hendrik Bohle were responsible for the redesign of Masrah Al Qasba, a multi-purpose theatre, which was completed in 2011. After finishing our work on the Architectural Guide Istanbul, which was published in May 2014, we travelled a couple of times to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We have talked to numerous architects, designers, artists, engineers, experts, but also to drivers, tour guides and workers as well as to marketing executives, tourism industry agents and property developer. We toured all 7 Emirates, which is part of our concept: to include the architecture of the entire country. The result is a book, that features contemporary and vernacular architecture as well as the heritage, architectural tradition and culture of the United Arab Emirates. Our intention is to deliver an architectural portrait of a country, that includes its heritage, culture and people.

Encounters and discussions with authors, artists and publishers from all around the world.
Mustafa Al-Slaiman hosted our presentation at the "Discussion Sofa" of the ADIBF. He has been working as a freelance literary translator and conference interpreter in Arabic and German since 1992. Since 2009, he has been co-operating with Kalima Abu Dhabi, where he is in charge of coordinating the German-Arabic part of Kalima's literary translation programme. Our presentation along with the visit of the German ambassador and the Minister of Culture at the German pavilion were highlights as well as our stay at the ADIBF with the meetings, encounters and discussions with authors, artists and publishers from all around the world.

"Art is something I have never placed in a vacuum, a clear bubble holding all things to be experienced from afar - it's impossible.
Everything around me is art and if I believe that then all that is in me is art. I'm not one to just paint or sculpt apples or oranges, art is not about the ideas one may have, but about what we do with the ideas to make them an artistic reality.
I find pleasure in a landscape, the human form, and all the wonders that have been made by the hands of man.
It is so important for me to keep my artistic spirit fed and to do that I have to be aware of all things, not looking only at the whole of something but take the sum in order to see the fullness of our creations.
Art is that fragment that helps to make my life whole."


Though Sia didn't appear on the program itself, she was in attendance, revealed Hurley to Entertainment Weekly. After Probst's announcement, Hurley was taken to privately meet with the singer.
"After I got off stage, it kind of hit me. I was just like, bawling and stuff. They took me down to see her, and I was just like, amazed," said Hurley. "She's just like, one of the best artists that's out this decade, and I'm just so overwhelmed. I got a hug, I got a picture, she said she's going to tweet it out, and I'm like, 'OK girl, you do that!' But I was just bawling, I was just crying, I couldn't help it."
This isn't Sia's first donation to a Survivor contestant. Two years ago, at the finale of 32nd season Survivor: Kaôh Rōng, Sia made an on-screen appearance to donate money to contestant Tai Trang. During the game, Trang, a 51-year-old gardener, spoke about animal rights, even domesticating a chicken that his tribe had won in a challenge.
Sia gave Trang $50,000 for himself, along with an additional $50,000 to an animal charity of Trang's choice.
In musical news, Sia has teamed up with Diplo and Labrinth for a new supergroup called LSD.
No news yet on who she'll be supporting for Survivor's upcoming 37th season, Survivor: David vs. Goliath, which premieres on CBS in the fall.


If you want to be a best practice property manager, then it's essential for you to consider sub-metering for your complex community.
Without a sub-metering system in place, it's difficult for managers to make informed decisions about resource-related problems. These problems can repeat themselves and will have to be addressed separately on each occasion.
For instance, with a single water meter in a large multi-unit complex, there is no way to distinguish between an infrastructure leak or a leak inside a unit. The leak could be situated between the main meter and the separate unit, or within a specific unit. There is no way to figure out who is responsible for dealing with the problem. A sub-metering system will allow you to tell if the leak is within the domain of the property manager, or something that one of the residents needs to fix.
A great example comes from a townhouse complex in Guelph. This complex didn't realize they had a massive leak in their building until they installed a sub-metering system. They were then able to go out, find and plug all the leaks successfully.
Self-owned units, occupied by a single individual or a couple.
Student rental units, occupied by 5-6 individuals.
Studies of the complex revealed that the student units used much more water on a monthly basis than the owner occupied units, but every unit was being billed the same amount in their condominium fees. This was a very unfair arrangement. By switching to a sub-metered system, the complex was able to bill each residents only the fair amount for their water usage and the board watched the water use of the entire complex drop by 25%.
Sub-metering systems help you deal with current problems and catch future problems as they arise — whether they are leaks or residents that are using more than their share. Some property managers may think: I can find what's causing this problem and deal with it. But often this process is more difficult than anticipated and you're going to have to repeat it every time a new issue arises. This is why sub-metering is a best practice for property managers: it proactively tackles problems with your complex and creates a satisfied community of residents.

Access Financial: Global Mobility Services
Mar 8, 2022 Mar 8, 2022
Global mobility is a broad spectrum of topics, including tax, relocation, immigration, technology platforms, compensation and incentivisation, payroll, assignment and travel planning. It's a complex field as it involves multiple jurisdictions and requires a knowledge of domestic law and practice and international law in terms of tax and social security.
There are many use cases from:
busy executives needing to fly from New York to London to attend a business meeting;
to medium-term assignments for work that require a work permit to
Engaging contract workers on missions in an unfamiliar country.
The movement around the world could be for a family reunion on a tourist visa if one is needed. Or it might entail business meetings or attendance at trade shows, in which case it may be that a business visa is appropriate. If gainful work is involved, that will call for a work and residence visa.
A global corporate may have local entities to send its staff or contractors. In this case, it can issue letters of support or even sponsor work visas for its mobile workforce. Smaller organisations will not have access to such resources and may need another entity to provide these services.
Some companies may not have an entity, while others still do not want the complexity of employing their workers on an alien payroll. There is a solution to this: to use an Employer of Record (EOR). An EOR provider can hire the worker on its payroll and attend to the formalities in return for a monthly invoice.
Some EOR providers, although not all, can sponsor work permits for workers. We can safely say that the prominent immigration specialists and global consultancies tend to shy away from this activity, and it is necessary to find a specialist provider such as Access Financial.
Covid and Brexit have affected the ease and even feasibility of global mobility. On top of these, the events in Eastern Europe will dampen the enthusiasm for unnecessary business travel, but globalisation continues.
We have seen a mushrooming of businesses moving into this space, and it will be interesting to see how this settles down. A huge raft of them specialises in remote overseas workers, and we hope that quality will prevail and there will not be a rush to the bottom.

New release: "Vengeance of Blackbeard" – Old Roger's Revenge (2020)

I listened to the Old Roger's Revenge new release, named "Vengeance of Blackbeard" (released by Pavement Entertainment) and here's my humble opinion.
Για αυτή την κριτική στα Ελληνικά, κάντε κλικ εδώ!
Old Roger's Revenge is a metal band from Italy. Their music approaches a sludge/stoner sound, but there are also various elements from hardcore and doom metal. Their concept, as their name betrays it, is a pirate concept, which I found very interesting for the music genre that they're playing. Usually, I mentally combine sludge/stoner music with the american south, with bikers, it generally evokes a feeling of freedom, but with the "stigma" of the illegal. So, what I find very interesting, are the parallels drawn between the concept of the outlaw, not in the highways, but in the sea.
This album ranges from heavy and groovy tracks, in the vein of Corrosion of Conformity, fast heavy metal parts that bring to mind Motorhead, but also a bunch of wildcard-parts, so that their personal character is shown in the music. The compositions are generally well-structured, and the instruments are fairly tight, playing-wise. The lead guitars were a bit stale for my taste, I found the solos were somewhat unoriginal in their musical vocabulary, but they were well-played, as the rest of the instruments. As well as sludgy parts, there are also some doom, and hardcore (almost thrashy) parts, infused very appropriately in the general flow of the album.
Usually, the pirate concept is a conceptual territory for melodic death bands, but (in theory) I think that it can be very well combined with sludge metal. I put the "in theory" disclaimer, because I don't think that they are totally combined in this album. Except for the album art, the band's appearance, and the song lyrics, we find very little pirate elements in the music. They exist just in the two small instrumental breaks ("Never Set Sail on a Friday" και "Sun, Sea, Blood and Booty"). I would like there to be more "pirate music" colours added to their sludgy tracks, so that they can be even more differentiated by their influences, and to have a more characteristic sound of the band, in a pirate-sludge genre.
Now, talking about production, the album is pretty solid, but only on the instruments. The ingredient of this album that was "sour" to me, were the vocals. The brutal vocals were very weak, and hastily written, and it is very much apparent, in comparison to how well the rest of the mix sounds. The semi-clean vocals were better as the vocalist's performance, but they were also mixed very poorly, so they left me waiting for more in their next work.
Generally speaking, it's an album that shows potential for Old Roger's Revenge, it's pretty easy to listen to, and it shows that they have been working on it for quite some time. They have some specific selling points as a band, that help them stand apart from the other bands, just as they are careful not to become parodies of themselves in a pirate genre, that's getting pretty saturated lately.

Sleeper is an unincorporated community in Laclede County, Missouri, United States. It is located approximately one mile north of Interstate 44 at the intersection of Missouri routes F and J. It is and about six miles northeast of Lebanon and five miles southwest of Stoutland. Several homes and a fire station are located here.

A post office called Sleeper was established in 1883, and remained in operation until 1955. The community was named after "Sleeper," a railroad employee who often was noticeably tired.

I think it's useful to identify what type of trip you're interested in early in the planning process. The type of sea kayaking trip you pursue will definitely steer most of the remaining decisions that lie ahead.
For many folks a simple day trip is the optimal sea kayaking trip. Anywhere from a few hours to an all day paddle.
Others will prefer an overnight sea kayaking trip, camping overnight or possibly staying the night in a cabin somewhere. If you're the hotel type, a lodge might be better. For multi day sea kayaking trips, you can consider a basecamp trip, where you set up a single camp, and do various day trips, kayaking out each day and returning to your same campsite.
For an expedition you break camp each day, paddle with all your gear to a new location, and then make camp again. This might be a 3-4 day sea kayaking trip, or a 1-2 week trip, or even longer. You definitely want to have some experience for these trips. Risk factors increase significantly. The reward factor as well, everything has its tradeoff.
Sea kayaking trips are a great way to travel some beautiful areas of Alaska.
maintain the freedom and self-reliance you might on a real wilderness expedition.
Take a lesson or two before you head out.
Interested in a Kayak Trip?
A great way to get an introduction to Alaska sea kayaking trip. For many people, even 4 hours on the water is time enough. The comforts of a lodge or hotel afterward might be too tempting to pass up. A good option for this kind of trip is to hire a ferry service to drop you off somewhere for the day, you paddle around a fjord, etc,, and the ferry can pick you up at a pre-arranged time and place. Or, you can paddle back. This can be a good way to really get out somewhere remote, and still only be gone for a day. Without the ferry ride, if you take off sea kayaking right from Seward or Whittier or Homer, you'll see some great scenery, etc, but you won't get out to the really cool stuff in a few hours, or even a full day paddle. Taking a shuttle is a great option.
But remember. You'll DEFINITELY want your overnight gear. It's Alaska and you never can really know what the whether or not other conditions might do. It's quite possible that your day trip turns into an overnight sea kayaking trip. Even the best laid plans can fall apart off the Alaska coast. Bring a shelter, rain gear, fire starter, food, water, and if possible some kind of contact device like a sat phone or inreach, etc.
Even one night out in Alaska is worth it. Considering you should bring overnight gear even on a day trip sea kayaking, you may as well plan on using it and make your trip an overnighter.
Don't bite off more than you can chew and plan for stopping to set up camp around 4 or 5 (even in summer when it won't get dark until late). It'll take you longer than you think and it may (that is, very likely will) take you longer to make the paddle that you schedule and get to your destination. Even if all goes well and you set up camp smoothly you'll be able to sit back and enjoy the wonderful Alaska evenings. Go for a hike and explore the area a little.
Taking a ferry or air taxi to shuttle you out to a remote spot is a good option and I definitely recommend you do that.
Take a ferry or air taxi out to some awesome location, set up a sweet campsite, and spend each day paddling. An excellent, easy, way to enjoy a sea kayaking trip. Get up in the morning, enjoy breakfast, pack a lunch and some emergency gear, and take off for the day. Give yourself plenty of time again so you don't struggle to get back to camp before too late.
Do bring some kind of emergency overnight setup. I recommend a small tarp with some guy-lines, a sleeping bag per person, rain gear (or your paddling gear, depending on what you have), fire starter, water and food rations.
Don't take off for the day and get stuck somewhere, away from camp and not have something to take shelter under if things go awry.
These sea kayaking trips require more careful planning and research, more specialized gear, finely tuned packing, and a little more effort. You'll be breaking and making camp each day, you'll be paddling a full load in your sea kayak each day, and you'll work a lot harder both sea kayaking and camping. But the effort can be well worth it as well with the opportunity to really cover some mileage and get out there. For the super hardy folks take a ferry service to a drop off location, schedule a food and fuel drop with them 7-10 days later. Make it a real expedition sea kayak trip for a few weeks or longer.
You can either schedule your sea kayaking expedition as a point to point trip, a round trip, or an out and back. Just don't bite off more than you can comfortably chew.
What type of trip you seek is up to you, your schedule, skillset and experience and so on. Each trip type comes with its own pros and cons and you should weigh them all. If you haven't paddled before, or paddled just a little, a full blown winter sea kayaking expedition circumnavigating the entire Kenai peninsula probably isn't for you. If you're an experienced sea kayaker, outdoors person and adventurer, a 2-4 hour paddle around Resurrection Bay probably won't be quite as rewarding for you either.
What type of Sea Kayaking trip are you looking for?

NYC's New Food Czar on Trying to Keep People Fed in a Pandemic Hot Spot
Kathryn Garcia oversees a cross-agency effort charged with two Herculean goals—ensuring that every New Yorker in need has access to food and that the city's food supply remains strong.
By Andrea Strong

As the number of novel coronavirus cases in New York City mounted towards the end of March, New York City mayor Bill De Blasio appointed Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia to be the city's COVID-19 Food Czar. Under Garcia, the city has made impressive strides. In just the last month, the city's 400 Department of Education Meal Hubs have offered any New Yorker in need (no identification required) three meals a day. That amounts to 300,000 meals daily from grab-and-go, and about 120,000 to 140,000 per day in home delivery to seniors, COVID-vulnerable, and homebound New Yorkers. In total, the city has served over 4.5 million free meals since the start of the pandemic.
On April 15th, the city released its Feeding New York Report, in which Garcia and the Mayor announced an additional $170 million in investment which will go to supporting food banks, soup kitchens, DOE grab-and-go meals, home delivery, and other contingencies. It's an unprecedented undertaking in the face of skyrocketing unemployment, mass restaurant closures, and citywide economic uncertainty.
"Here's what I know about New Yorkers," wrote Garcia in the Feeding New York Report. "We thrive in a challenge, we don't leave each other behind, and we love to eat. During the COVID-19 public health crisis, we are being tested on our ability to keep our city fed while still staying safe behind closed doors."
Garcia says this crisis is unlike any other our city has faced. "After Hurricane Sandy, after the 2003 blackout, and after 9/11, the directive was always the same: Go out and celebrate the city we love, support our local businesses, and stand shoulder to shoulder with our heads held high. Today, our survival depends on doing precisely the opposite — on staying away from one another, sequestered indoors unless absolutely necessary. How do we do that while still ensuring that every New Yorker has enough to eat?"

While Garcia doesn't have a statistic on restaurant closures—she says it will probably be some time before the city can determine a reliable count—a recent survey by the NYC Hospitality Alliance of 1,870 restaurants, bars and nightclubs – found 67,650 employees laid off or furloughed since Friday, March 20th when Governor Cuomo signed the "New York State on Pause" executive order mandating that non-essential businesses must close or provide delivery or takeout food only. But Garcia says that the City is doing whatever it can to continue getting food to restaurants that are doing takeout or delivery, and to make sure that supply that can't go to restaurants because of closures is rerouted to grocery stores or other outlets.
I spoke to Garcia by phone about her goals for New York, how to make sure everyone in need is fed, what the city is doing to protect grocery workers, what restaurants might look like post-pandemic, and what we all might do when this is all over.
Andrea Strong: Before we get into the nitty gritty, I'd love to know a little about you. Where did you grow up and go to school?
Kathryn Garcia: I am from Brooklyn. I grew up in Park Slope, where I still live just two blocks from my mother. I went to public school in Brooklyn all the way up through college and then I went to University of Wisconsin.
AS: Were you always interested in public service?
KG: Yes, actually. I interned at the Department of Sanitation right out of college and did a short stint at the Department of Finance in enforcement and realized that was not for me. I went to the private sector and rejoined public service in 2006 in the Department of Environmental Protection and moved to Sanitation 2014. It's been busy there too. Even in a pandemic people produce garbage. We are still collecting everyday and keeping streets clean and working to get rid of waste in an environmentally responsible fashion.
AS: Were you surprised to be tapped to take on the role of Food Czar? It doesn't seem that you have a background in food?
KG: Yes, it was surprising in that sense, but I am an operations person and I know how to stand up programs and deal with logistics and foster relationships and all of those skills go to making sure we can feed people. I am very fortunate to have an amazing team. You are only as good as your weakest link.
AS: As the city's first Food Czar, what are your goals?
KG: My goals are to make sure everyone in need has access to food of course. We are doing this by supporting our pantries as well as increasing access to DOE grab and go meals, and by investing in home delivery because we created a new population of vulnerable older people who were independent and now who really should not leave their homes.
We have also spent a lot of time thinking about how to ensure that as we go through this we keep that supply chain strong.That means making sure that food can continue to come into New York City. Ninety percent of our food comes into our city by truck. To support these workers, and get them the rest they need, we have opened two rest areas for long haul truckers, one is in Staten Island and another is at Hunts Point.
AS: What about food shortages in the supply chain? Are we doing okay?
KG: Yes. But, our food supply chain is used to predictability; it knows that on Thanksgiving people will buy turkeys. With this pandemic, we had panic buying and people buying all sorts of things they don't usually buy — lots of things like peanut butter, flour and canned goods. That has been a shock to the system and it's now fixing itself.
The supply chain is also having to adjust to restaurants being closed. Forty percent of our food went to restaurants and we have seen wholesalers changing their business model to sell directly to consumers and to supply grocery stores.
AS: What about grocery workers?
KG: We are supporting grocery stores and their employees and keeping them protected. We are asking everyone shopping to be wearing face masks and socially distancing because the folks stocking the shelves and at the registers are some of the most important people in our food-supply chain right now.
AS: Are you supplying grocery store workers with PPE?
KG: The city is working to match grocery stores with vendors to buy masks or to match them with our donations we have received. But we also have to direct medical PPE to frontline healthcare workers.
AS: Food insecurity for instance has always been a huge problem for this city, and now even more so with so many jobs lost, how are you working to ensure that if we face another pandemic we can mobilize quickly?
KG: We are starting to think about the lessons learned and this is what we need to galvanize and invest in to make sure that we can stand up emergency feeding even faster, but also to be more independent. One of the things we are working on is how to be connected to our regional producers and farmers to make us more resilient.
AS: The restaurant business is an industry that has been completely decimated. Are you involved in supporting this community at all? If so, how?
KG: We are thinking about how we could incorporate the restaurants into what we are doing and trying to figure out logistically where we can use their talents. We feel that as we move forward and try to meet cultural and dietary requirements —so preparing meals that are more culturally-relevant like Asian and Kosher meals. Halal meals are already offered. We think that as we get into meeting those needs we will have space for restaurant workers to get involved. (Restaurants in need can also look at these resources.)
AS: What about hiring back-of-the-house workers for school food?
KG: At the moment school food has been able to meet its mission on its own and it is getting stronger. In other workforce matching efforts, the City Department of Small Business Services is trying to help groceries by finding and hiring people so that they can focus on the work of running their stores and not spend time doing human resources work.
AS: I recently read Governor Gavin Newsom making some predictions about what restaurants will look like after the pandemic. He said he can imagine waiters wearing gloves and face masks, tables spaced far apart, and customers having to have their temperature taken before coming inside. What do you see the future of restaurants in the city looks like?
KG: I have no idea what reopening looks like. I hope that we are more back to normal than what he describes, but it may be that the road back to normal happens in steps. The first step may be waitstaff in face coverings and customers having their temperature taken and then as we get to lower and lower transmission rates, and then no transmissions, that changes.
AS: Looking across the country, are there any national examples that you looked to for guidance?
KG: Unfortunately, we are far more impacted than anyone else in the country and because of that people really don't want to go out. Because of that we were also thinking about food almost from the get go.
What is also different about New York City is that we are a city of pedestrians. We would never be able to do what I have seen in other cities, which is food being dropped off in big parking lots to people who stay in their cars. It's a lot easier to socially distance when you are driving up and someone puts a box in your car. But we have a lot of taxi drivers who have been able to help with deliveries, which has been great.
AS: Yes! I have been really impressed with the way the city has partnered with DoorDash and enlisted taxis too, to get meals to homebound individuals.
KG: Yes, we have hired 11,000 taxi drivers and we are going to continue to expand our capacity to meet the growing demand. These drivers are making contactless deliveries to homebound seniors and COVID-vulnerable populations six days a week. Each includes four meals for up to two residents per household. Anyone who meets the criteria can go to nyc.gov/getfood or call 311 and say "Get Food."
AS: Can you see through to the end of this and how do you see our food system will be changing?
I think that it's very difficult to predict. What I do know is that it will be very driven by what consumers decide. By that I mean do we come out of this with a 1920's philosophy where everyone is out every night going to restaurants and every day is spent to the fullest, or do consumers take on more of a Great Depression-era attitude of hunkering down and being thrifty. I spoke to one person who said she wants to have the fanciest wine and caviar. That's one perspective. To enjoy every moment of every day. But there are also folks who are just anxious and concerned and not sure they will leave the house again. I think it can go either way and that will be a driver of what happens to food in NYC.
The other factor to recognize is how much do you miss people? Do you come back and want to have brunch with everyone you have ever known? I know I miss people! I would really like to see as many people as I can when this is over. And when I see people, in my world, and I think for most people in our city, that is done with food.
AS: Let's imagine this is all behind us for a moment, what are you looking forward to doing most that you can't do now?
KG: I am going to go on vacation. I am having brunch with everyone I know. And I would love a manicure and pedicure.

Stopping the opioid crisis in the womb
Knoxville, Tennessee (CNN) The sound of a heartbeat pulsates through the air, and a grainy image of a baby flashes on screen. Jessica Hill smiles from her chair in the ultrasound room.
Gathered around are her doctor, nurse and best friend.
They are all eager, anxious, excited -- and worried about the health of the baby. In that way, this ultrasound is like most.
But what's happening in this room is anything but routine: Jessica, 28, is hooked on opioids and detoxing during pregnancy. Dr. Craig Towers is the pioneering -- and controversial -- obstetrician shattering the common medical belief that this approach could lead to the death of the fetus. Read More.
Agency wants faster research on non-addictive painkillers as drug abuse grows

Anti-marijuana legalization group hits Atlanta on "420 Day"
A group opposing the legalization of marijuana on Thursday warned Atlantans not to believe the hype that pot is made from a harmless plant and that its impact is minimal.
Kevin Sabet, co-founder and president of Smart Approaches to Marijuana or SAM, said the growing marijuana industry is pitching weed as a natural, safer alternative to tobacco without the long-term health problems.
"You know what, poison ivy is a natural plant, but I wouldn't suggest anybody mess with it," Sabet said. "These arguments are ridiculous if you think about them for more than one or two seconds." Read More.
Easing marijuana laws in Atlanta easier said than done
Atlanta wants to join a growing number of U.S. cities that are lowering the penalties for small amounts of marijuana use.
But leaders learned last week that getting there won't be easy.
The City Council sent legislation meant to lower fines and eliminate jail time for possession of an ounce or less of pot back to a committee last week after members had a host of questions. Chief among their concerns was whether there was buy-in from the Atlanta Police Department and city courts, two groups whose backing would be crucial to making such a plan work. Elected officials also fear that being too lenient would take away the deterrent of marijuana use. Read More.

Trump advisers call for expanded access to treatment in war on opioid addiction
ATLANTA — President Trump is determined to expand access to addiction treatment to help curb the opioid crisis, several of his top health advisers said on Wednesday.
But they offered few details on how they would fund those efforts at a time when the administration is also pushing for deep budget cuts to domestic programs and seeking to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which extends mental health and addiction treatment to millions.

Secretary Tom Price wants to fix US healthcare
CNN) - While President Donald Trump insisted Congress repeal Obamacare within his first 100 days, the legislation was rushed, according to his Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Tom Price, and that's why the Republicans failed.
But the recent setback will not deter the Trump administration, he said during an interview at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta on Tuesday with CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

The Opioid Epidemic Is Actually Two Epidemics
50-year-olds are dying from overdoses of prescription painkillers, while heroin is claiming more people in their 20s.
ATLANTA — The sharp increase in US overdose deaths over the last half-decade has split into two distinct epidemics based on age and type of drug, researchers suggested here at a nationwide drug abuse summit on Tuesday.
Opioid drugs include both prescription painkillers (such as Vicodin or Oxycodone) and illegal heroin. They are involved in about 60% of all deadly overdoses in the US, or about 33,000 people in 2015 — a death toll projected to grow even worse. Read More.

The Middle Creek Initiative
The Middle Creek Initiative is a partnership of conservation organizations that are working to ensure there will always be feeding and roosting areas for migrant tundra swans wintering in and migrating through southeastern Pennsylvania, particularly on the vast landscape surrounding the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. Tundra swans — identified as a "species of greatest conservation need" in the Pennsylvania Wildlife Action Plan — are attracted to Middle Creek annually because it has and continues to provide a secure resting and water-roosting area for them from late February and early March. The large birds converge on Middle Creek as a migratory stopover and staging area before they continue north to the arctic region to breed. Their stay at Middle Creek ranges from a few days for some to a few weeks for others. The birds are attracted to local privately-owned farmlands that yield winter wheat and waste grain in harvested cornfields. (Fortunately, winter wheat is a hearty crop that can recover from some grazing.) Their dependency on Middle Creek in spring migrations led to the wildlife management area being identified as a "globally significant important bird area" in 2010.
The problem that is beginning to surface around Middle Creek is that some of the fields tundra swans depend upon for feeding are being consumed by housing subdivisions and other development. The Middle Creek Initiative partnership was formed to protect vital and historic tundra swan feeding and roosting areas. If lands cannot be preserved, substantial numbers of swans (the highest recorded 14,700) may no longer use Middle Creek. That would open the door for tundra swans to encounter new threats in their quest for food and sanctuary on their annual journey north. It also would increase their risk of arriving at breeding grounds in poor condition, which would jeopardize their reproductivity and overall health. The continent's eastern population of tundra swans is better off without these dangers encroaching further on their already complicated relationship with and dependency on humans. That's why the Middle Creek Initiative was organized, to protect tundra swans through the preservation of farmland and open space through conservation easements.
The Middle Creek Initiative includes the Lebanon Valley Conservancy, Pennsylvania Game Commission, Lebanon County Planning Department, Lebanon Conservation District and others. The video below is intended to provide background and further information on the conservation initiative. Please take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with this important work.

Tom Hanks WWII Movie 'Greyhound' Debuts on Apple TV+
Friday July 10, 2020 4:33 am PDT by Tim Hardwick
Apple TV+ today debuted "Greyhound," the highly anticipated Second World War movie starring Tom Hanks as a naval officer given command of Navy destroyer Greyhound in the Battle of the Atlantic.
"Greyhound" features Hanks as George Krause, who must fight his own self doubts and personal demons as he leads a convoy of Allied ships against German U-boats to prove that he belongs in command.
The screenplay for the movie was written by Hanks and the film was meant to be released in theaters, but could not premiere because most theaters across the United States remain closed. Apple ultimately paid $70 million for the film to premiere on Apple TV+.
Alongside "Greyhound," the first four episodes of "Little Voice" also debuted on Apple's streaming service today. The show is a coming of age drama created by J.J. Abrams, Sara Bareilles, and Jessie Nelson, and uses original music by Bareilles. Apple also debuted short-form sports docuseries "Greatness Code" on Friday.
Apple TV+ can be accessed through the TV app on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Mac, select Samsung and LG smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV and Roku devices, as well as online at tv.apple.com. A list of all of the TV shows and movies on the service can be found in our guide.

I would love for Hank's next WWII epic to be about the battle of Attu.
A lot of folks are unaware that in WWII there was a major battle in Alaska on a small island that included a Japanese charge and hand to hand combat.
It is also the most well-preserved WWII battlefield in the whole world.
77 years later you can still see the bomb craters from bombs dropped by the USA on the airfield the Japanese army was working on.

film was ok, no character development, was like going from his girlfriend turning him down to being on a boat.....war, blowing up a u boat, not eating his food....taking a sip of coffee, more war, more war, blow up a u boat.... the end..... so much lost potential for this one.
I found myself asking why Elisabeth Shue was even in the movie.

I just watched it & really enjoyed it!!

Bit of a stinker. 91 minutes of Hanks screaming "Left full rudder to 085!". Shallow (te-hee!) plot, no character development, mediocre CGI. Better rewatch Das Boot or The Hunt for Red October.

a journalist and I write not only to entertain, or educate people - I speak for the voiceless in . I write and speak for those who cannot write or speak about issues that affect them. I'm the Member of Parliament for the ordinary people on the streets.
I was on Saturday, November 3, 2018, when the information on the accident involving the Deputy Communications Minister, Mr George Andah in his constituency in the Central Region came through. It was gathered that he had been airlifted to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra for emergency care.
The vehicle in which Andah, together with others travelling, collided head-on with another vehicle. The minister reportedly was initially rushed to the St. Gregory Hospital at Kasoa after which a military helicopter airlifted him to the 37 Military .
When it was clarified that nobody died in the accident, I was extremely happy. Our minister didn't die. We recently lost our former Vice President, Kwesi Amissah Arthur and our former United Nations , Kofi Annan and we haven't recovered fully in our mourning and so it will be an added pill of sorrow if we had lost our dear minister.
Although our minister didn't die in the accident, I was also extremely sad. The reason for my sadness was very simple—I was sad because hundreds of Ghanaians have died from what happened to the minister and because they didn't get the needed emergency services such as ambulances on time to send them to for emergency care, they died.
Hundreds of people have died in our communities due to lack of ambulances to transport them to on time for emergency treatment.
Many expectant mothers have died with their babies in their wombs due to delay labour as a result of of ambulances to transport such expectant mothers to the hospital for assisted labour.
On May 6, this year, reported: "29 million Ghanaians share 55 ambulances." The report said out of the 155 ambulances that Ghana has, 100 of them have broken down. I was shocked to the marrow.
The minister, Mr Andah, was airlifted probably because there was no ambulance in his constituency to pick him up to the 37 Military . Assuming it had happened to an ordinary person, a taxi or a commercial vehicle would have been used to pick up the person to the nearest hospital due to the absence of ambulances. It is sad.
If can provide to airlift ministers for emergency services, we the ordinary people in Ghana don't need to serve as ambulances for us, we just need car ambulances on the ground.
Let us get serious with things that affect our . Life is only one. If you lose it, you can't get it back. Maybe we are not getting angry enough as people in this country to get duty bearers to get things done as they are supposed to be done in any human society. We can all fall victims. Before you think about a political party, think about yourself. You worth more than a political party.


Parenting is a hard gig and one that is constantly posing new challenges. There are those days of frustration and feeling like a failure that somehow we allow to start defining who we are and who our children are without seeing the larger picture. In the trenches of parenthood it's so easy to not be able to see the forest for the trees, especially when is comes to misbehavior and disciplining your children. But how do you discipline a toddler without being a frustrated parent?
I have found that my own inconsistency not only in discipline, but in every day life leads to the most parental frustrations. I got frustrated with my daughter simply because she asked me to read a book while I was working on trying to get dishes done. I snapped while my toddler was trying to tickle and cuddle her little sister because she was inadvertently hurting her. I get frustrated when I have to repeat myself 1,000 times. I am a frustrated parent when I think my children should know what I want, but don't do it!
Is inconsistent discipline in correlation with being a frustrated parent?
I fully believe that many times it is. Being a frustrated parent many times seems to stem from not being consistent in disciple and in our answers to our children. So of course we all know the phrase "correlation does not equal causation," but that doesn't mean that we cannot test the theory and certainly doesn't mean it's not worth trying to work on being better parents and improve our relationship with our children!
Why consistency in how we interact with our children matters.
Kids are innately intuitive. They understand basic emotions, routines, and expectations. While they can push boundaries, many times they tend to want to stay in your good graces. So when we stay consistent, our children know what to expect from us. They can trust us. So ultimately, being consistent builds situational and behavioral trust which can ease parent-child frustrations. This type of trust just means that they know what to expect from you, not necessarily that they have respect and trust.

Therefore, if I am non-chalant about my toddler having an accident in the floor, then she is more likely to come tell me that she pottied in the floor and that we can work together to clean it up. But if I was to yell every time something "bad" happened, then my child might start hiding it from me. But then there is the role of inconsistency.
If we let our kids get away with something one time and the next time they got in serious trouble, then we're more likely to experience frustrations as parents because our children are acting out and behaving erratically because they might be able to get what they want in that moment.
How to be more consistent while disciplining kids.
If I allow my child to whine and cry and then I give her a sugary treat just because I don't want her to be crying, I just blurred the line. I had told her no, but showed her what actions would consistently change the outcome. She can trust that her throwing a fit will upset us enough that she can behave in order to then get what she wanted in the first place.
So we not only need to be consistent in our answers, but also know the triggers that our kids have. This is an important part of disciplining. If they know that "no means no" or that we expect them to follow the parameters of what we have set, we have to have follow through with our words and actions.
What happens if I am still a frustrated parent?
Many times I find that if I am being consistent and working at being mindful and intentional, I can still be neglecting other area's of my own time and my child's life. I find that when I have told my child "please wait" several times in a row or that I haven't been playing with or reading to my child enough, that I get frustrated because my child starts acting out.
While the neglect of quality time spent with your children may still not be it, there is usually a trigger for why your child's behavior is frustrating you. Maybe you just need more me time, which is the total opposite in that you're spending so much time on your kids, you need time alone.
One of the best tools we have as parents is the ability to think through things rationally even when our kids cannot. So as we evaluate our triggers and our own frustrations, we can typically improve the behavior problems we're seeing in our families.

Am I being over-sensitive? Or am I just out-of-touch?
I've had a verbal bollocking from an old mate for failing to turn up to his stag night (he's remarrying at the age of 54, bless him). I pleaded (genuine) ignorance - I had no idea when it was.
His reply? "But I posted all the details on Facebook!"
Re: The ultimate 'social media' insult?
While missing a stag party is very unfortunate, yes he should have called. Now you don't need to buy an expensive wedding present.
Pretty stupid of him not to check if you're on Facebook, and even then at least send an email.
Agreed...no everyone is on Facebook or uses it regularly.
If it's something important a phone call and an email reminder would be more appropriate.
you should have gone back and asked him why didn't he tweet you?
Although in German which meant I had to seriously concentrate on trying to remember how it works after 15 years of not speaking the language, but the conclusions by the reporter are a bit lacking in my opinion..
"And with 955 million people logging into Facebook each month compared to seven billion people in the world, it seems unlikely that more than 85 per cent of the planet will turn out to be psychopaths"
silly reporter had no idea how misinformed and stupid her article was until the backlash hit her..
Don't understand how he could expect you to know when you aren't on FB.
I'm not on facebook. What are they trying to say?

Improvement Process Team Drives Quality Improvement.
The improvement process team will drive quality improvement within your company. Quality improvement activities include solving problems, corrective action, audit issues, defects, process issues, system issues, administration issues, etc. Improvement teams are important to quality assurance and ISO 9001 certification.
Most problems cannot be solved by one person alone. Rarely does one person have enough knowledge, skills, and experience to understand all process related issues. Major gains in improvement come from teams.
An improvement process team is a group of people pooling their knowledge, skills, and experience to tackle problems and deliver effective and permanent corrective action.
Continuous improvement teams are usually cross functional. Members of the team are stakeholders. Each member needs the problem to be solved. Each member desires the improvement.
Normally, senior management identifies the important larger problems or work process to change. The process improvement team isolates the detailed problems needed for improvement and forms actions to solve those problems.
The success or failure of a continuous improvement team has significant impact on the organization as most projects are highly visible. Teams deliver permanent solutions to those problems.
Team Members: Stakeholders who have change influence. They work closely with the process or problem. The team project is now part of their job. Completes assignments from the team meetings.
The facilitator keeps the team focus, on target, and moving forward. The facilitator allows for everyone to contribute and prevents members from dominating the meeting. The facilitator keeps the team on the agenda and follows the time guidelines.
The scribe takes the meeting's minutes and tracks the team member action items. These are important because team members may need to be reminded of previously discussed items. I recommend using a responsibility chart to track the action items.
The scribe copies items from a chalk board or flip chart. If possible, a scribe uses a laptop and types information as the meeting progresses. Use the minutes to create next the meeting's agenda.
Conduct only one meeting. Do not have side meetings. People in the room should leave for emergency reasons only. Set cell phones off or on vibrate.
Start and end the meeting on time. If people are late let them know the importance of the meeting. If people are constantly late, you could implement a pay for lateness system. Those that are late pay a certain amount to the pot.
Conduct the meeting such that people volunteer for the action items. The action items needs to be specific and realistic. Assign a due date for the action item. In some cases it may take more than one person to complete the assignment. Assign one person as responsible for the action item's completion and the others as support.
At the end of the meeting, have the team evaluate the meeting. How can the next meeting be improved? What went wrong with this meeting? This helps the facilitator and team members conduct a more productive meeting during the next meeting.


Is there an way to stop having to confirm bag sorting?
im only getting the color of the theme..
Any work being done for GU100?
i was thinking yesterday.. If instead to a simply copy/past, build a windows able to read the log, with a selection similar to the tracking windows (npc/grp/guild/ ecc) filter, like the chat logs inside the utility, and put the text direct in a page with web translate?
of course with the possibility to copy/past, for 2 way communication.
Yes I have been working on a way to copy/paste chat window text to a translator website in the in-game browser. It's a tall order and I don't have anything usable at this point. But as a first step there is a greatly simplified alternate version of the DarqUI browser on the updater. It only uses one instance of the awesomium client, and always gets pruned from the Windows task list when closed. So far it is testing well, a couple of crashes but not nearly as bad as the full-blown tabbed version. Choose "Lite" from the gear icon on the updater if you want to try it.
Even if some form of automated translation does not happen, it has been gratifying to use the browser again for looking up items/mobs/quests without fearing a game crash.
Taking that concept a step further, is a click-n-copy command for http links people post in chat be possible? That would be terrific for those huge http addresses we attempt to type by hand but mistaken O's for zero's, i's for L's and typing 3 lll when there were 4 llll's followed by more o's and 0's in the address.

DarqUI does not define icons for Russian class names, so the only way they would have appeared on a Russian server would be if the file was modified manually. Try re-downloading the group window and the icons should appear again for you on Splitpaw..
Window group did not change.

Is possible to find a way to copy chat text (and copy Russian alphabet..)? Will be very helpfull for communicate with Russian player.
And.. i know is a little more tricky, thind a way to traslate (even with google translate) some game text? like npc/quest/journal windows. Or even able to copy the text.
Revisiting the issue with single quotes that I mentioned previously.
I've noticed that the Maintained Spells Monitor has the same issue as the Group / Raid Window spell and cure buttons. For example, if I try to monitor "Jester's Cap" or "Kerafyrm's Furor" (both of which would be very handy), the window breaks in strange ways. But sometimes, it works (out of combat it seems).
Additionally, Jester's Cap has a duration (33s) that exceeds its recast timer (15s). So if an additional Jester's Cap is cast before the duration expires, then the new monitor is painted over the older one. If the name of the Target of the old one is longer than the new one, the trailing text can be seen.
A solution for the single quote issue would be very useful. I'm sure there are other spells or effects that are being affected.
I realize that this is somewhat limited by XML's design but again, I will stress that working in HTML entities somehow could provide a simple resolution to this.
"blah ... ' ... blah"
I'm not having any trouble with Jester's Cap in the group window (click for image) or the maintmon (click for image). Multiple casts of the same maintained spell will stack, this is a known issue.
There is not a global setting for group window layouts. They are customized per character with the utility or the in-game window manager.
Thank you for your help. I have everything straightened out now. I am really enjoying your ui, great job.
I did that, but the problem I am having is, say for instance my group window setup is not the same. It is in the same place, but isn't setup in the same style as the main one. Things like that. Things appear to be in the same place, but not exactly configured the same.

#YoungAndBlack: Male Identity – Tyrone Huggins
Growing up young and Black. Where can I start? My earliest memories of childhood were positive ones. I grew up in Brixton, in a single-parent household and although my father wasn't around I felt my mother always provided enough for me not to feel inadequate. I was always told I could achieve anything I put my mind to in life, so this was a mind-set I adopted from early on. But as a child stepping outside the home, it became evident that the world around me was a completely different reality.
Growing up Black meant being sent to the shop and having a shopkeeper track your every move as if to say you were a convicted thief. Growing up Black was walking with my hoodie up and having white people cross the road with the idea that you were a 'thug'. Growing up Black was being stopped and searched from as young as 15 on the way to school. Back then I think out of ignorance I viewed a lot of these experiences as normal. Crazy right? But it wasn't until I became a teenager when I realised just how much the odds were stacked against me and how much prejudice I would face purely because of the colour of my skin.
Fast forward to my early 20s and growing up Black felt almost like having imposter syndrome. I developed PTSD from police after being assaulted, racially profiled and aggressively stopped and searched on countless occasions. I can vividly remember the first time I experienced police brutality – at university of all places. Picture a young vibrant student, black and educated – ambushed to the ground and arrested by 'mistaken identity' for an offence he didn't commit. The irony of having my head thrust into the ground hearing "you black c***" whispered in my ear remains prevalent. See in them realising my innocence and me vocalising my rights, I became an even bigger threat which they found reason to justify by provoking a reaction.
Fast forward to the present and growing up Black now is me having to explain to a new employer why I have a charge like 'resist of arrest' to my name…over why I have a first-class degree. Growing up Black is me feeling like I have to 'code switch' or water down my personality just to fit into the workplace and not be seen as 'intimidating' around my white peers. It's that constant reminder that I have to work three times as hard as my counterparts to get a promotion and ten times as hard to shake off the stereotype I was born into without a choice. At times it can feel overwhelming and exhausting, but as much as I realise the system wasn't built for someone who looks like me – I believe we are now in a time where we have the power to control our own narrative and break down these barriers. As seen with the tragic death of George Floyd and the consequential awakening of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, now is the time to raise awareness of the struggles associated with the 'Black male identity.'
So what are the solutions?
I think the first step in moving forward is self-education. First and foremost our white counterparts must understand and recognise that in a racist society where white privilege exists, being 'non-racist' is not enough and choosing not to take an active stand in abolishing it means you are part of the problem. I also think in the Black community we need to work towards changing the one-dimensional narrative of 'Black masculinity.' Too often we over sensationalise the success stories of the 'reformed roadman' as if to say it is our only identity when in actuality it doesn't even represent half the demographic of young Black boys' experiences growing up. There is a huge proportion of overlooked successful Black men who didn't have to become criminals first before changing their life around, and I think it is just as commendable to grow up in a disadvantaged neighbourhood with a sustained a level of determination, resilience and focus in doing things the right way. It's time we start championing the stories of more diverse lived experiences, so young Black boys have a varied choice in who they can resonate with and look up to.

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!
New Bishop for the Chester Diocese Announced.
The new Bishop of Chester has been unveiled on Zoom in what was described by his wife as a "weird" announcement.
The Right Reverend Mark Tanner was introduced to his flock online due to lockdown restrictions. The 49-year-old, who is currently Bishop of Berwick, made a series of appearances on social media to greet different sections of his new flock. He succeeds the Rt Rev Dr Peter Forster who retired in September 2019 after serving the diocese for 22 years.
Bishop Tanner also delivered a message on YouTube from near his residence in Northumberland. "This must be one of the weirdest announcement days," said his wife Lindsay. Her husband replied: "Which is why we have got up at the crack of dawn in Northumberland and you can hear the birdsong, it is a new day that God has created." He added: "And that's the point. The Church might be in lockdown like the rest of the nation, and we might not be able to be with you in person like we would love to be, but God's work is not finished."
The bishop said that a recent survey showed one in four people had participated in an online church service since lockdown. He said he was really looking forward to returning to the diocese where he was ordained in 1999 and where his two children were born.
The new bishop made a series of appearances on Zoom and Facebook Live to greet different sections of the diocese. He was consecrated Bishop of Berwick in 2016.
