The grid was assembled using 800 running meters of 4-point trusses, was then attached to the supporting structure of the exhibition hall with the aid of around 100 motors and fitted with 440 spotlights for the illumination of the stand. A set of loudspeakers was added for targeted irradiation of the presentation area. Almost 2000 sqm of white sprinkler gauze were stretched onto the grid which created a ceiling-like horizontal surface to the stand. Above the visible part of the grid further trusses were used for the unsymmetrical hanging of seemingly "floating" frame elements carrying 3,6mm LED video walls. On the ground another 27 displays were set up across the stand space, fed by hidden prewiring under the floor which had been fitted by stand builders. BTL was responsible for the complete planning and implementation of the ceiling construction, the illumination of the stand as well as the delivery and installation of the LED video walls, the displays, the public address system and the media direction. The planning stage included consultancy services for example regarding the venting of the machines' exhaust air through the hall ceiling.


Ask Siri to calculate 1 trillion to the tenth power and it will go hard.
1 trillion to the tenth power is 1 x 10¹²⁰.
It's also an incredibly sick beat if you ask Siri to read it out loud, as a group of students realized a few weeks ago. Naturally, the students decided to finish the job by tapping their pens and just going extremely hard. From an endless stream of zeros, the youths have created art.
On Monday, Twitter user @kid_chrissy drew mass attention to this when she shared a video of her friend @jenreles1, producer Indya Slaughter, rhythmically tapping a pen and a pencil while Siri read the calculation. The video has over 51,000 retweets.
After @kid_chrissy called it the #SiriChallenge, imitators came flocking in.
To be clear, this isn't the first time people have noticed that Siri is a great beatboxer. (Siri has been around for about nine years, so it shouldn't be a complete shock.) In January of 2016 in particular, a couple of videos included with people putting beats over the sound of Siri performing similarly high calculations gained some popularity. In July of that year, a group of students did a particularly good group-collab.
Gone are the days of kids typing "B O O B S" upside down on their boring analog calculators. Long live kids rediscovering every few months that Siri is a math queen who goes incredibly hard when tested.


Open Mode capacitors have been designed specifically for use in applications where mechanical cracking is a severe problem and short circuits due to cracking are unacceptable. Open Mode capacitors use inset electrode margins, which prevent any mechanical cracks which may form during board assembly from connecting to the internal electrodes. When combined with FlexiCap™ termination, Open Mode capacitors provide a robust component with the assurance that if a part becomes cracked, the crack will be unlikely to result in short circuit failure.
Tandem Capacitors have been designed as a fail safe range using a series section internal design, for use in any application where short circuits would be unacceptable. When combined with FlexiCap™ termination, Tandem capacitors provide an ultra robust and reliable component, for use in the most demanding applications. Non-standard voltages are available. For more information please consult the Sales Office.


It's that time of year again. Tomorrow I will be making a pilgrimage to Pepperdine University for the 69th annual Bible Lectures. The theme for this years lectures, Living Between the Times, will be based on Romans 5-8.
This will be my third time and hopefully not my last. The teaching is always outstanding, encouraging, challenging, and inspiring. I'm looking forward to catching up with many friends and colleagues, and all the other great fellowship there is. I am also making the trip with the shepherds from the Columbia Church of Christ, so I hope that will spark some fruitful conversations regarding the mission of our church.
Lastly, this is in Malibu, California…warm sunny blue skies along the Pacific coast and the Santa Monica Mountains. What can I say? It's a hard like but someone has to live it :-).

AMRI Hospitals Ltd is the premier private healthcare provider of Eastern India, with three super specialty hospitals at Dhakuria, Mukundapur, and Salt Lake, in Kolkata, a state-of-the-art daycare centre on Southern Avenue in Kolkata, and another super specialty hospital at Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The Group takes care of around 4.5 lakh patients annually, conducting more than 15,000 successful surgeries, with a roster of more than 5,000 healthcare professionals. An impressive roster of more than 600 doctors and a well-trained force of nursing staff work tirelessly across more than 1,000 beds across its four hospitals, backed by advanced technologies and latest equipment to treat people and save lives. With major changes and developments on its plate, the AMRI Group is headed towards a path of steady growth. AMRI Hospitals is all set to add around 700 beds in the near future.
AMRI Hospitals brings to the table a class of its own, making the healthcare group a major player in keeping Eastern India ahead of the curve. The Group treats more than 4.5 lakh people every year and conducts around 15,000 surgeries annually, providing value-for-money services, backed by advanced equipment and latest technologies. The hallmark of AMRI Hospitals is a committed team of doctors and caregivers, who take up the challenge of treating the most complicated cases, besides stepping up to handle Emergency and Critical Care with dedication, expertise and compassion. Over the last three decades, the healthcare Group has made immense contributions to the lives of people, not just from Kolkata and the rest of Eastern India, but also from other parts of South Asia and the world.
In the early 1990s, the Government of West Bengal was looking for a private operator to take charge of Niramoy, a state-owned polyclinic at Dhakuria. Accordingly, the rights of management were handed over to a city-based private player. Soon after, the Emami Group was invited on board and the Advanced Medicare & Research Institute Ltd., a super specialty hospital, came into being, with the express purpose of offering quality healthcare.
In 2009, the hospital's name was officially changed to AMRI Hospitals Limited and within a short period, the Emami Group took control of the whole private healthcare group. The most visible value the tag of 'Emami' brought to the table is a brand of passionate entrepreneurship and over time the Group leveraged its indomitable spirit to extend the benefits of quality health care to millions across the region.
With growing awareness among the citizenry about modern medicine, a greater need for superior healthcare services emerged in Eastern India. The Emami Group used its drive for inclusive growth and acumen for business innovation to expand across Eastern and North Eastern India, entering new specialty segments and attracting doctors, who while hailing from India, came with global exposure and international standard skills.
As the AMRI Hospitals emerged a premier healthcare service provider, the growth was not just about doing things better than the others; it was about introducing a transformative experience. For the first time in Eastern India, the Group brought to the operating table latest technologies, advanced equipment, high-class facilities, and the competence to synergize all these elements. The growth of AMRI Hospitals has become historically significant in the region, as it paved the path for private healthcare with a corporate approach.

For this installment in our Pressure Canning 101 series, I'd like to tackle Chicken Soup.
Having home-canned soup on hand is a great way to save both money and time. A large roaster full of chicken soup is a simple way to stretch a chicken into a cost-saving plethora of jars full of goodness.
Instead of reaching for that can of "who-knows-what's-in-it" for a quick lunch, you can reach for a jar of your very own homemade chicken soup. For a little effort put out now, you can enjoy a hot bowl of yummy homemade soup for any time. It's great to have this on hand for those nights when you don't feel like cooking, for a speedy lunch, or when you have a sick family member in need of some chicken soup lovin'.
I make this in my large 18 qt roaster oven. This is simply the best way to make a large amount of soup (or anything else- chili, spaghetti sauce, a large turkey, etc). If you don't have a large roaster oven, you could certainly make this in large stock pots. I tend to "cook big", so when I can, I want to do it all at once. I can pressure can 7 quarts at a time. I want that canner full whenever I use it!
The first step is simply to cook 2 large chickens in water, with lots of seasoning. Remember this water is turning into a broth, so I tend to season heavier than if I was making a small pot of soup. I add salt, pepper, Kick'n Chicken Seasoning, thyme, bay leaf, rosemary, garlic, onions (whole), celery (cut in half), carrots (cut in half), and chicken soup base.
Spray the roaster oven insert with non-stick spray, then place the chickens inside. Cover the chicken with spices, add vegetables, then add water. I fill the water about half-way to the top. Put the lid on, turn the heat to 300*, and let it cook. Low and slow cooking results in a moister, more tender bird. Cook this chicken at least 3 hours. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it to a bowl with slotted spoons.
You won't be using the vegetables that you cooked the chickens with for the final product. They were present to give the broth flavor. Separate those out when you shred the chicken meat.
While the chicken is cooling down, add your desired vegetables. I add 2 quarts of home-canned green beans, a bag of frozen corn (thawed), a large onion, several diced carrots, and several chopped potatoes. Add the vegetables that your family likes. Just be sure to add plenty. They give the bulk to the soup, saving on meat cost.
When the chicken is cool enough to work with, pull the skin off and chop or shred the chicken from the bone. Be especially careful to remove all of those little tiny bones from the meat. I like to shred the chicken onto a plate, then sift through it after it's shredded (or chopped) with my fingers to be sure I haven't missed a bone. Add the meat to the roaster oven. Allow to cook at 300* for another hour or so. Taste the broth occasionally to be sure it's to your liking.
Once the soup is ready to can, it's time to set up the canner, sterilize the jars, get the lids and bands heating up, and prepare your workspace. Ladle the hot soup into the jars. Once all of the jars are full, leaving 1″ of headspace, wipe the rims of jars well. This step is especially important with something like this as there is fat in the product being canned. Any fat left on the rim will result in a failed jar.
Add the lids and bands, hand tighten, then add the jars to the pressure canner.
When you can a mixture of foods like this, you will follow the timing and weight directions listed for the longest component. Normally, that would be the meat component. The Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving recommends 90 minutes for quarts at 10 pounds of pressure. Be sure to adjust based upon your altitude. If you need a refresher in pressure canning basics, visit Pressure Canning 101- Getting Started.
If you've made the full roaster pan full, you'll either have a nice large amount of soup for supper and leftovers, or you will have enough to can another 5-7 quarts of soup. Since the first round of soup in the pressure canner will take awhile to be completed, you'll want to turn the roaster down so that you don't overcook the soup. Remember, the soup is going to further cook while being canned.
Have you canned soup? Which type is your favorite?
This large batch of chicken soup is tasty and great for canning. Add quart jars of this yummy soup to your pantry for busy nights!

I've never canned soup before, always just frozen it. But my freezer has been filling up lately so I might start canning soup.
Having the soup canned is so much easier than frozen. Just open the can, pour it into a bowl, and heat. Super simple.
I love this tutorial. I made chicken soup last week and while canning, the jars overflowed ans didn't seal. I was super bummed. (Hubby got chicken soup every night for dinner) I am wondering what may have gone wrong? I checked for air bubbles and left a full inch of headspace. My veggies were raw, chicken was cooked, and broth was boiling. I added them seperate so the veggies wouldn't get mushy.

Sorry for your experience. That is a huge bummer!
I'm new to canning. I've made a few jams, jellies, and some jalapeño salsa. I'd like to make chicken soup, but I am wondering if I have to cook the vegetables? Can I add them raw, or blanched to the jar and then add the hot broth with the chicken. I just don't want mushy vegetables in the soup.
Hi, Marlene! Thanks for stopping by!
I make chicken soup, fully cooked, then can it. The veggies don't get mushy. I don't know why you couldn't can it your way. You could cook the chicken and make broth, then add the blanched veggies to the jars just before canning.
I have seen websites that can with raw veggies and also cooked veggies-this is one of the better ones. I like the idea of layering the chicken 1st then the raw veggies' in the jar to about a third of the way up and top off with broth. Just FYI.
Hi there Iam new to pressure canning and through my research it says not to add thickener. The soup I just made I added the left over gravy and it had to be made with a little flour to thicken it, would I still be able to can it?
I think it would be fine to can your soup, Anne. Have fun!
What's the shelf life of canned soup?
Hi, Amber! Thanks for visiting!
"How long will canned food keep?
When I make chicken soup we do not add veggies. We straight up like broth from the whole chicken add in milk when almost done. Questi9n is, I pressure the whole chicken skin and all and it forms a broth the oils float on top. Do I need to let the liquid cool and scoop the grease off the soup before I can it?
Interesting! It's always fun to hear how others make foods! So, you make chicken soup and add milk? Do you thicken it at all?
I would definitely skim some of the fat off of the top before canning.
I would love to print this recipe out and try it. Do you have a print version I could print off? The page here has lots of ads and breaks in the webpage. It would be nice to get all of that cleaned up for a printable version.
I will add a recipe card to this post. Thanks for the suggestion!

The United States threatened to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on $2.4 billion in French goods in retaliation for a digital services tax it says is discriminatory.
French sparkling wine, yogurt and Roquefort cheese are on the list of goods that could be targeted as soon as mid-January after a report from the US Trade Representative's office found the tax penalizes American tech companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon.
The decision "sends a clear signal that the United States will take action against digital tax regimes that discriminate or otherwise impose undue burdens on US companies," US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in a statement.
Lighthizer also warned that Washington was considering widening the investigation to look into similar taxes in Austria, Italy, and Turkey.
"The USTR is focused on countering the growing protectionism of EU member states, which unfairly targets US companies, whether through digital services taxes or other efforts that target leading US digital services companies."
The announcement comes hours before President Donald Trump is due to meet his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the NATO summit in London on Tuesday.
The French tax, enacted earlier this year, imposes a three percent levy on the revenues earned by technology firms in France, which often come from online advertising and other digital services.
The tax affects companies with least 750 million euros ($830 million) in annual global revenue on their digital activities.
The French tax targets revenue instead of profits, which are often reported by tech giants in low-tax jurisdictions like Ireland in a practice that has enraged governments.
The USTR report "concluded that France's Digital Services Tax (DST) discriminates against US companies, is inconsistent with prevailing principles of international tax policy, and is unusually burdensome for affected US companies."
After the tax was enacted, Trump in July vowed "substantial" retaliation for the French measure.
USTR has scheduled public hearings on the proposal to imposes "duties of up to 100 percent on certain French products," and the possibility of "imposing fees or restrictions on French services."
The last date to submit comments on the proposed actions is January 14, and "USTR expects to proceed expeditiously thereafter."
– Roquefort, not Bordeaux –
The list of French products subject to potential duties includes cosmetics, porcelain, soap, handbags, butter, and several kinds of cheeses, including Roquefort, Edam and Gruyere.
However, despite Trump's repeated threats to retaliate against French wines, only sparkling wine made the tariff list.
Efforts to find a global solution to the dispute over digital taxes have so far not been successful.
Last month, G20 ministers meeting in Washington opened talks on an international system to tax global tech giants that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development hopes would take effect by June.
Public outrage has grown over the practice of profit shifting, which critics say deprives governments of their fair share of tax revenue.

Connecticut budget feels effects of federal health care
The federal health care law is providing both challenges and opportunities for Connecticut lawmakers as they spend the coming weeks trying to reach a state budget compromise with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
By Susan Haigh | Updated on February 12, 2013
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The federal health care law is providing both challenges and opportunities for Connecticut lawmakers as they spend the coming weeks trying to reach a state budget compromise with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
The two-year, $43.8 billion proposal unveiled by the Democratic governor last week includes millions of dollars in health care spending needed to comply with the Affordable Care Act. But it also relies on millions of dollars in savings that the law generates.

What car should I ship to the Congo?
Jalopnik reader Wes has a request. He's taking a job with the US State Department and must ship a car to his new post in Brazzaville. Tough and cheap are the key words. What car should he ship to the Congo?
I need to buy a car soonish to ship so that I can use it in the country. I'll be using it everyday for 2 years. I need something that is reliable, as the garages in Brazzaville are expensive and not so great. Of course, I'll ship some spare parts with it but I really need something that can survive those 2 years. I have to get a 4x4 with high clearance, as there is frequent flooding. I also need to be sure it can handle some horrible roads and go off road for some adventure. I'll need to remove the catalytic converter from what I hear, as there is only leaded gas in Congo. Of course I would like manual transmission. At the end of the 2 years, I don't know if I will keep the car or leave it in Congo - so I don't want to dump a ton of money in this if I don't have to. I would prefer something in the $5,000 to $10,000 range - but I could go up if I have to.
It is recommended to get a Toyota, as that is the one type of car they sell in Congo. Most other Americans there have Toyota RAV 4's. However, huge SUVs don't appeal so much to me. I don't have a spouse or kids, and I'd really like something more like a Jeep Wrangler or maybe a Land Rover Discovery or Toyota 4Runner or something. Most Congolese have a Toyota Hilux. Anyhow, I really don't know where to start looking or what I should be expecting. I'm also really afraid I'll make the wrong choice and the car won't be able to handle Congo.
We think this is a job for — Police Auction Crown Vic! Just add a light donk lift and off-road tires, and you're set. No SUV nonsense for this guy. Anyone can work on it, parts are cheap (you can ship a whole replacement drivetrain if you want) it's nearly bulletproof and what else screams State Department like a utility-spec Vicky? I'm sold. What say the rest of you?

8 steps to protect employee benefits data from hackers
The Equifax hack reminds us that employers need to be vigilant about keeping employee information safe, especially data from such benefits as a 401(k) plan. Here are 8 tips to help.
By Marlene Y. Satter | Updated on September 21, 2017
The Equifax hack has shown not just how easy it can be for the bad guys to get hold of personal information from major repositories like the Equifax database, but also highlights the need for employers to be aware that such hacks put employees' personal data at risk.
In particular, 401(k)s could be targeted by those who managed to snatch the information, according to the Society for Human Resource Management.

New Reports Just Linked Usher To This VH1 Reality Star & Her Mother Isn't Wasting Anytime Addressing It
Did Usher just go public with Evelyn Lozada's daughter Shanice Hairston after split with his wife?
Apparently, the dating rumors were sparked by a Page Six story that stated that the two were spotted arriving and leaving Diddy's birthday party together over the weekend.
The 40-year-old singer reportedly tried to make it seem like the pair were not together, by making his date trail a few steps behind him, while he walked with his publicist.
According to sources revealed to Page Six, Usher and Evelyn's daughter "came together and left together."
The gossip didn't last long though since Shaniece's mother Evelyn Lozada was quick to jump on Instagram to address the rumors surrounding her daughter.
The Basketball Wives star shared a screenshot of the story from theJasmineBrand below on her Instagram stories with the words "LIES!!!" and "Fake News" written across it.
"Shaniece is not dating Usher. They were all going to the same destination and just so happened to share a car. They are not dating," a representative on behalf of Evelyn told the publication.

Guess it's a wrap for that rumor.
=====================================================================
Original story by Elliah Dash-Stell (11/8/2018 at 8:01 am CT):
Usher appears to be coupling up with a new special someone.
Do you think his estranged wife Grace Miguel is bothered? Eh.
Just months after his separation from his wife of 2 years, the 40-year-old singer may have officially moved on with Evelyn Lozada's daughter Shaniece Hairston.
The R&B singer showed off his new rumored girlfriend on his arm, bringing her along to Diddy's 49th birthday party in Hollywood. She's gorgeous, of course.
Usher tried to make it seem like the pair were not together, by making his date trail a few steps behind him, while he walked with his publicist.

Back in 2015, Shanice was linked to English soccer player Zat Knight, as they appeared together on Evelyn's OWN reality show, Livin' Lozada. It was also in 2015 that Usher went down the aisle with Miguel.
But now, with both parties back in the dating pond, it appears the two have linked up.
Well, we hope she is smart enough to keep a wary eye on the condom situation in the bedroom. Too mean?

As mentioned, Usher is currently in the midst of a divorce with Grace, who seems to have bowed out after Usher was hit with multiple "herpes" lawsuits.
She filed legal documents to end her marriage to The Voice coach on April, citing "irreconcilable differences".
The pair had announced their separation back in March with a joint statement, after being together for a decade (and two years of marriage), saying, "After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple."
"We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives. The enormous amount of love and respect that we have for each other will only increase as we move forward."

Two women and one man alleged that Usher pulled a questionable move. All three claim that Usher had intimiate contact with them, knowingly exposing them to herpes. Many believe that these lawsuits sprung up, after court documents that suggested Usher had herpes were leaked.
BOSSIP reported just last week that Usher and his legal team requested a gag order to keep the details of the suit under wraps.
Usher and his legal team are working on the case that involved Laura Helm, who accused the crooner of giving her herpes, after a couple of hook-ups. Usher's response includes a denial but also passing the blame back to the alleged victim, stating that unprotected [intimate encounter] was a risk that was taken on her account.

By Reading Time: 5 minutes World Coffee Alliance (WCA) announces keynote, inspirational speaker, guest speaker, event partners and confirmed panel speakers at WCA TECHNOCOFFEE INNOVATION SERIES: building trust through digital identity "a question of sovereignty?" on 26 may from 2:00-5:00 pm BST (UK time)/9:00-12:00 EDT LONDON, United Kingdom – World Coffee Alliance (WCA), a leading network alliance of coffee industry professionals producing critical insights including market research, due diligence reports and technical advice to stakeholders in the coffee value chain will hold a Zoom virtual event WCA TECHNOCOFFEE INNOVATION SERIES: BUILDING TRUST THROUGH DIGITAL IDENTITY IN COFFEE "A QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY?" on Thursday 26 May 2021 from 2:00-5:00 pm BST (UK time)/9:00 am-12:00 EDT. Joseph de Villiers, CEO and Founder of World Coffee Alliance (WCA) said, "Digital Transformation is happening everywhere. In recent months, there has been numerous claims and promises that an end-to-end Traceability platform will deliver a more transparent and sustainable coffee supply chain. Part of the solutions are a mix-bag of technology tools from Blockchain, Ai, IoT, Machine Learning etc. However, a question of trust is inevitable. For coffee farmers to invest time and money into this transformative set-up, it is imperative that they know who in the supply chain they are dealing with, and verify that they are who they say they are. There is where Digital Identity is critical. "We welcome AgriLedger as our Episode sponsor for this virtual event, and I think it is important for them to be able to provide some clarity and insights on how Blockchain technology might hold the key in responding to these challenges in traceability to achieve SDGs", he further said. AgriLedger is an eclectic mix of experts, thinkers, writers, and designers from all over the world united by our shared love for food and our excitement towards new technologies. Their idea fully came together during a Hackathon in London in 2016, They brainstormed and created AgriLedger in just under 48hours – since then they have spent more time tailoring, tweaking it to what the group think will be a solution for each of the players in the agricultural supply chain. Genevieve Leveille, CEO and Founder of AgriLedger said "We are delighted to support the WCA in providing a neutral platform to discuss traceability challenges in coffee including Digital Identity. I am confident that we will be able to shed some light on why Digital Identity is an important and critical element in delivering a transparent supply chain," "Digital identity is the most modern and efficient way to connect smallholders' coffee farmers to the rest of the world. Meaning to enable them to access finance, to increase their income through smart investments and to access the right market", she added.

The point I was making wasn't about violence. The Republican party didn't and still doesn't need to turn to violence. They simply needed to clearly and robustly oppose the evil agenda instead of conceding one terrible thing after another and simply saying "well there's anothing we can do about that now" every time the Democrats passed an evil law.
And in fact, it is of course worse than that because the Republicans passed plenty of evil laws themselves.
The problem is not at all that Christ's way didn't work. The problem is that the Republican party never tried Christ's way since they long ago abandoned the idea of Christian morality.

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies... is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies". -- Carroll Quigley

My belief is that there is a crew of "false prophets". Their job is to appear to be fighting against tyranny so they make powerful statements and mix quite a lot of truth into what they say. I think their ultimate role will be to usher in a shining solution which they will all endorse, only the beautiful sounding solution will be a terrible trap. Or perhaps they are just in place to distract us and confuse our efforts.
I'm not 100% certain of anyone, but my guess is that the following are all false prophets - working for the other side: Dr. David Martin, Stew Peters, Del Bigtree, David Icke, Alex Jones, Carrie Madej, Sherri Tenpenny, Francis Boyle, Judy Mikovits, Chris Martenson. I'm sure there are many others but those are the ones that (a) spring immediately to mind and (b) I am most sure of.
PS I'm not 100% certain of this either, but I think anyone involved with Clay Clark and his tour is highly suspect too. He seems to be bound up with the same New Age/Masonic/Satanic Academy of Divine Knowledge that so many of these "don't ring quite true to me" false prophets are.

Trump: 'People Aren't Dying When They Take the Vaccine'
Former President Donald Trump this week clashed with conservative commentator Candace Owens over the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, with Trump saying "the vaccines work," and that "people aren't dying when they take the vaccine."
During an interview on Wednesday with The "Daily Wire" podcast, Trump told Owens that he "came up with a vaccine, with three vaccines. All are very, very good. Came up with three of them in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years."
Owens said, "Yet more people have died under COVID this year, by the way, under [President] Joe Biden than under you and more people took the vaccine this year. So people are questioning how — "
Trump interrupted to say: "Oh no, the vaccines work, but some people aren't the ones. The ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take the vaccine. But it's still their choice. And if you take the vaccine, you're protected."
He went on to add, "Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get it, it's a very minor form. People aren't dying when they take the vaccine."
Trump recently revealed during an event with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly that he has gotten a booster shot for his COVID-19 vaccination, which prompted some in the crowd to boo, according to Newsweek.
"Don't, don't, don't ... that's alright, it's a very tiny group over there," he said at the time, adding that "you're playing right into their hands," by doubting the vaccine

Ageless Artist sets Another Record
Last week Minnesota lost a golf legend. Read a revealing story of his golf skills and artistic talents.
During the 2015 MGA Senior Amateur Championship held at Deacons Lodge in Breezy Point, MN, Bud Chapman set another record; proving that he is still a MOVER & SHAKER in MN Golf. Chapman become the first golfer to shoot his age in competition on the tough Arnold Palmer layout.
The most famous golf themed painter of all time, once again proved his immortality. At age 92, Bud Chapman left the golf course feeling a little disappointed after Monday's first round of the Sr. Am. Chapman suffered a costly 3-putt from 7 feet on the final hole to shoot 93, one stroke over his age. Chapman was sent home with an unfulfilled feeling, but still had that familiar smile on his face. On Tuesday with the pressure on, Bud came back matching his age, 92, to secure the sought after scoring record. His record score was achieved despite a double bogie on 15 and a triple bogie on the unforgiving 16th.
Bud finished 4th in the Grand Masters Division behind the Haugan twins, David was first and Dennis was second, and Rick Withoit who finished third. With that huge Cheshire Cat grin shaded by his ever present wide bribed hat, Chapman said, "if I had played my best I could have competed for the championship. I have entered this event 17 times and won it 14 or 15."
Chapman who holds the record for most rounds shooting his age in a lifetime, at 3,072 (as of Tuesday, Sept 3, 2015), admits that he was disappointed with Mondays round, scoring 93. Chapman, who carries a 5 handicap at the tough Minneapolis Golf Club exclaimed, "that was the first round all year that I have not shot my age. Oh well, the streak will start again tomorrow." He keeps a calendar with his daily score and total number of rounds scoring his age.
Chapman, with the body of a whippet and the flexibility of a teenage gymnast, plays golf 5 or 6 times per week. He admits that his life has been blessed. "I have spent my whole life playing golf and painting, neither of which are really work. When people ask me when I am going to retire? I always tell them, retire from what."
Chapman holds another record that will likely never be beaten. He has attempted to qualify for the US Open Championship a record 67 times. When you understand that a golfer must have a USGA Handicap Index of 1.4 or less just to enter the qualifying, you understand what an impressive record that really is. Maintaining a handicap that low for that many years is truly amazing.
Bud is always aware of where his score stands versus his age. He said, "My average score is about 12 under my age but I have shot 19 under my age 3 or 4 times. Twenty-one under my age is my goal. That will tie me with Ed Ervasti a Canadian golfer (now deceased) who shot 72 at the age of 93 back in 2007.'
When asked who he usually plays with Bud says, "I don't really keep a schedule or make tee times. When I feel like it, I just go to the club and see where I can fit in with a group. Sometimes I just take off by myself." Bud is the only person that I know who does not need a signed score card to prove that "he did it once again."
Chapman loves to play golf and loves to do golf paintings. He admits that playing golf always comes first. When asked where he get the inspiration and ideas for all his paintings? Bud says, "those ideas come easy. I see golf holes everywhere I go; downtown, riding in a car or chasing gold. (Bud was involved in golf mining for a short time.) Even Pete Dye, the golf architect known for unusual, quirky and extremely difficult golf courses says that he might have gotten even bolder with his design because of the Bud Chapman paintings.
Bud is just as busy with his painting as ever. The "Famous 18 Holes" are still selling well all over the world where golf is growing and Bud is becoming more in demand. China will be his next big "Famous 18" project. He recently completed a painting for the 100 anniversary of Minneapolis Golf Club to be celebrated in 2016. He has completed a series of bowling paintings that will be on the market soon to add another flavor to his paintings.
Chapman admits that he and his representatives have a proposal in to the Ryder Cup people to create a "special painting" for the 2016 Ryder Cup matches to be held at Hazeltine National.
As a fan of golf and a fan of Chapman paintings, I know that I would stand in line to purchase a Chapman Ryder Cup painting.

GOP legislators are proposing that minimum wage laws in cities follow state law.
Minn. Senate GOP moves to nix $15 minimum wage in Twin Cities
By Christopher Magan / St. Paul Pioneer Press on Apr 29, 2019 at 6:35 p.m.
Republicans in the Minnesota Senate hope to wipe out city-specific labor rules, like the $15 per-hour minimum wage, in the name of protecting the state's economy.
A provision in the Senate jobs, energy and commerce budget would stop cities from requiring higher minimum wages or sick time for workers that are different than what is already in state law. The proposal would be retroactive to 2017 and would undo minimum wage and other laws passed in St. Paul and Minneapolis.

"It will keep Minnesota labor laws uniform," said Sen. Eric Pratt, R-Prior Lake, a chief sponsor of the bill. "A patchwork of regulation poses a real threat to commerce in the state."
Officials with the city of St. Paul did not immediately return a request for comment.
Opposition from workers, DFLers
Democrats tried unsuccessfully to remove preemption from the budget bill. It is not in the House version of the budget and is opposed by Gov. Tim Walz.
State Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minneapolis, noted that cities are often the first to act to improve the quality of life of their residents. He said the preemption will stop city leaders and activists from addressing concerns of residents.
"Let's let local units of government respond to the reality of people's lives," Dibble said.
A group of 50 organizations that advocate for workers sent a letter to senators Monday echoing Democrats' opposition to preempting cities from setting higher wages and other benefits.
"The abuse of preemption undermines our local democracy and silences the voice of Minnesotans," the letter said. "Our local governments must be able to respond to community needs. This is especially necessary given the years of political gridlock at the state and national level."
Efforts to remove the preemption provision from the Senate budget bill failed with a 31-36 vote that was mostly along party lines.
Court upholds rule
Preemption is a timely issue legally. On Monday, April 30, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that Minneapolis' safe-and-sick-time ordinance also applies to employers located outside the city boundaries that send employees to the city for work.
The decision will almost certainly be appealed to the state Supreme Court.
Such requirements are a part of the reason Pratt and his Republican colleagues think putting preemption in state law is necessary. Mandating wages and sick time above what's required in state law is beyond the local control cities should have, Pratt said.
"We are just trying to set it back to where we think that authority has rested and should rest," Pratt said of state government dictating labor laws. "It's important we have a standard across the state."
St. Paul City Council approved a $15 per hour minimum wage in 2018 for larger employers. The law phases in the new wage by 2020 and small and medium size employers will have to increase wages at a slower rate.
In 2017, Minneapolis City Council approved moving to a $15 per hour with a similar phase in.
What are its chances?
The preemption proposal is less than two pages of the 126-page jobs, energy and commerce budget the Senate was poised to approve Monday. It would take agreement from the DFL-led House and Gov. Walz for preemption to become law.
That's unlikely, given Democrats support for cities that want to change labor policies. However, it could become one of many bargaining chips into play as lawmakers try to negotiate the next state budget before the May 20 end of the legislative session.
