PG&E Welcomes Anova Students Back to Campus with a $100,000 Donation to Help Rebuild after the Tubbs Fire
Contact: PG&E External Communications (415) 973-5930
SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today announced it donated $100,000 to Santa Rosa-based Anova, a provider of educational, behavioral and therapy services for children and teens. The announcement comes as students head back to Anova's Santa Rosa campus into temporary, portable classrooms for the first time since the devastating October 2017 Northern California wildfires.
"We are grateful for PG&E's support, and we know this donation means a lot to our 125 students and their parents because we are one big family. Structure and routine are important for us, so although we've been lucky to have other schools generously open their doors to our staff and students, it's nice to have everyone back together," said Andrew Bailey, Founder and CEO of Anova.
The school serves students who have been diagnosed with high functioning autism, social and emotional challenges, learning differences and other neuro-developmental impairments. Located on the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts property, the school, its workshops and playground were destroyed in the Tubbs Fire. In the meantime, students had been attending classes at various other schools in Sonoma County.
Students and teachers were welcomed back with a big celebration organized by the North Bay Fire Relief Fund. The PG&E donation is part of the energy company's efforts to help emergency personnel respond; residents and businesses rebuild; and organizations improve resilience after a wildfire.
"Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the Northern California wildfires. When our employees told us about this unique school that was destroyed in the fires, we knew we had to help," said Travis Kiyota, PG&E Vice President of California External Affairs.
The donation has been earmarked toward the purchase of a new playground specifically designed and built for the needs of Anova's students. The school's community had raised funds for two years to earn the money needed to purchase the unique playground, only to have it destroyed in the Tubbs fire just days after it arrived at the school.
"Our goal is to provide innovative education and therapy services - and play is a big part of that. Students learn social skills and how to interact with each other on the playground and they learn how their bodies move and feel with exercise," added Bailey.

I remember the first time I saw DockATot, it was love at first sight. I wasn't sure if it was a bed or a lounger I just knew that I wanted it for my baby. Mind you I wasn't even pregnant yet. But I did have a friend whose baby shower was approaching fast. If it was good enough for me, it definitely was good enough for my good friend's baby. I purchased it right away, and couldn't wait to hear her thoughts on the DockATot once she started using it.
My friend was grateful and couldn't stop thanking me for getting such an amazing gift. It turns out the DockATot can be used as a bed to cuddle my baby while lying down in my bed, also a baby lounger, and a play-bundle. This incredible multi-functional product can be used for all those activities and more. In addition, I get to choose from dozens of beautiful pattern to match my home decor.
When we were expecting my second son, towards the end of pregnancy I made sure there is a DockATot ready for the baby when we got home. My little one and I loved it from day one, as did my toddler who at times would lie in it lounging and refusing to share. I think I may need to get a Delux for him.
I have learned that DockATot is a perfect lounger, it creates a snug and soothing environment for my little one and apparently my toddler too. It makes me want to ask DockATot to make it in adult size too, please!
I have tried a couple of other loungers including Mumbelli, Snuggle Me Organics, and Smilo. They each are beautiful in their own way and offer different needs for a baby and mom.
It all depends on what you are looking for in a lounger. You may find something helpful in each one depending on the climate, comfort level, and the reason for use.
Here are a couple of reasons why I would choose DockATot for everyday use and travel. It is designed to reinvent the comfort level of the mommy's womb for the baby. It provides a comfortable microclimate. It facilitates co-sleeping. It helps with early-stage tummy time. It can be used as a play area by adding the arch and a few cute hanging toys made by DockATot. And lastly, it looks great. I have also heard that it can help with crib transition Once I am at that stage I will update my blog with my experience of transitioning him to the crib.


How Microsoft protects your data when using Office 365.
When organizations are looking to move to the cloud, it's important that the security of their data is paramount. Microsoft takes the security of its Office 365 license holders extremely seriously, which is why organizations of all sizes continue to trust Microsoft's data security processes and infrastructure that is used to power all the top Office 365 apps.
When we're working with customers who are thinking of migrating to Office 365, we'll often hear a number of security concerns, which are mostly incorrect.
My data is not secure.
When your data is stored in the cloud, it's normal to have some concerns over where the data is stored and whether it's secure or not.
Microsoft takes data security extremely seriously and limits physical data center access only to authorized personnel and offers multiple levels of security, including motion sensors, biometric readers, video camera surveillance, 24-hour secured access, and alarms if any sort of security breach were to occur.
My data is not encrypted.
Another common concern with cloud storage is that the data is not encrypted both while in transit and when stored off-site. With Office 365, all of your data is secure both when it is being transmitted between a data center and a user, as well as when it is not in use.
My data is automatically deleted if I cancel Office 365.
What happens to your data after you cancel Office 365? Well, while some may think the data is automatically deleted, this is actually not the case. In fact, Office 365 offers a variety of data portability options that ensure you have ample time to move your data from Office 365 to another provider, or to your on-premises resources.
My data will be sold.
As a user of Office 365, you can rest easy knowing that your data will never be sold. Microsoft will never access or sell your data for any type of advertising purposes.
My data may be hosted in another area of the country, or even the world.
When you partner with Microsoft for cloud storage, know that your data is hosted in-region, meaning that all your information will be stored in a data center that is located as close as possible based on your geographical location.
Interested in learning more about Office 365 security?
Are you looking for a security assessment to see how secure your data really is? At MessageOps, we offer a free risk assessment to identify any security vulnerabilities and propose solutions that can help to ensure your organization's data is always secure. Contact our experts to get the process started to ensure your data is always secure, regardless of where it's stored.

Q: Understanding the idea of a Limit Point (Topology) I have attached an image of how I was visualizing a limit point, but I'm now not so sure that I have understood the concept correctly after attempting to really draw out what I was visualizing.
I'll mention the definition of Neighbourhood and Limit Point from Rudin's Analysis just for a refresher:
Definitions

Let $X$ be a metric space. All points and sets mentioned below are understood to be elements and subsets of $X$. A neighbourhood of $p$ is a set $N_{r}(p)$ consisting of all $q$ such that $d(p,q)<r$, for some $r>0$. A point $p$ is a limit point of the set $E$ if every neighbourhood of $p$ contains a point $q \neq p$ such that $q \in E$

I ran into a roadblock understanding the boundary, closure, and interior of halfspaces bounded by hyperplanes, and I think it runs back down to my misunderstanding of the limit point. Here is the figure I created:

-

EDIT:
  New figure for a limit point $p$

  Please let me know if this is more accurate!

-
I am imagining this as happening at the "infinitesimal" level, so for example, $r_{1}$ is not actually as large as shown in the figure. The three general operations I imagine happen are:
$$d(r_{n},r_{n-1}) \rightarrow 0$$
$$\forall r \in \mathbb{R}, \exists q \in E \text{ }|\text{ } d(p,q_{n})<r_{n}, n \in \mathbb{N}$$
$$d(p,q_{1}) \rightarrow 0$$
So I think of every neighbourhood around the point $p$ as being circles of expanding radius, and have the condition that there must be some $q \neq p$ where $q \in N_{r}(p)$ and I think of this as being a condition for each radius. Is this an overcomplication? I realized that for say some $r_{1}$ that if there exists a $q \in E$ so that $d(p,q) < r_{1}$, then for any $r_{i} > r_{1}$, that same point $q$ which worked for the neighbourhood $N_{r_{1}}(p)$ will work for the neighbourhood $N_{r_{i}}(p)$. So, are these three operations sort of additional constraints on the situation that do not add any relevant information?
Main Question
My problem now, assuming that the condition is that for all $r \in \mathbb{R}$, there is some $q \in E$ so that $d(p,q) < r$, for an arbitrarily small $r>0$, then how can I visualize this? How can two points $p$ and $q$ where $p \neq q$ actually be distinct when I can shrink my radius arbitrarily small? If anyone could give me a concrete example or an explanation of where I went wrong/what could clear things up for me that would be very helpful.
Thank you!

A: The problem seems to be that you've got your quantifiers backwards. It isn't that there's a single $q\in E$ such that $d(p,q)<r$ for arbitrarily small $r$. Rather, for each positive $r$, no matter how small, there is a $q\in E$ such that $d(p,q)<r$. The choice of $q$ depends on $r$. In symbols, this is the difference between
$$\exists q\in E\setminus\{p\}\;\forall r>0 (d(p,q)<r$$ and $$\forall r>0\;\exists q\in E\setminus\{p\}(d(p,q)<r\;.$$
For a simple example, let $$E=\left\{\frac1n:n\in\mathbb{Z}^+\right\}\;,$$ and let $p=0$. For $r=0.1$, you can take for $q$ any $1/n$ with $n>10$. With $r=0.01$, on the other hand, you'll need to choose a $1/n$ with $n>100$. And so on.
I'd also say that your picture is inside-out: you should think of circles of decreasing radius squeezing in closer and closer to $p$. Then $p$ is a limit point of $E$ if within each of those circles, no matter how close to $p$, there is at least one point of $E$ different from $p$ itself.
Added:
Now let's take a look at your three 'general operations'.
$$d(r_{n},r_{n-1}) \to 0$$
If you choose a sequence $\langle r_n:n\in\mathbb{N}\rangle$ converging to $0$, then it will automatically be the case that $d(r_{n},r_{n-1}) \to 0$ as $n\to\infty$, but this is a side-effect, not something on which you should focus. What's important is that $r_n\to 0$ as $n\to\infty$; if that's the case, and if for each $n\in\mathbb{N}$ you have a $q_n\in E$ such that $q_n\ne p$ and $d(p,q_n)<r_n$, then $p$ is a limit point of $E$.

$$\forall r \in \mathbb{R} \exists q \in E \big(d(p,q_{n})<r_{n}, n \in \mathbb{N}\big)$$
As written, this doesn't make sense: how are the single $r$ and $q$ in the quantifiers related to the $r_n$ and $q_n$ in the quantified statement? You could correctly write any of the following, since all of them say that $p$ is a limit point of $E$:
$$\begin{align*}
&\forall r>0 \exists q(r)\in E\big(q(r)\ne p\text{ and }d(p,q(r))<r\big)\\
&\forall n\in\mathbb{Z}^+\exists q_n\in E\left(q(r)\ne p\text{ and }d(p,q_n)<\frac1n\right)\\
&\forall n\in\mathbb{N}\exists q_n\in E\left(q(r)\ne p\text{ and }d(p,q_n) < \frac1{2^n}\right)
\end{align*}$$
Indeed, if $\langle r_n:n\in\mathbb{N}\rangle$ is any sequence of positive real numbers converging to $0$, you could take
$$\forall n\in\mathbb{N}\exists q_n\in E\big(q(r)\ne p\text{ and }d(p,q_n) < r_n\big)$$
as your definition of '$p$ is a limit point of $E$'.

$$d(p,q_{1}) \to 0$$
As written this makes no sense, since $p$ and $q_1$ are single, fixed points: there is no sequence here. Did you mean $d(p,q_n)\to 0$? That isn't enough as it stands, because it says nothing about the nature of the $q_n$. What does work is this:

A point $p$ is a limit point of a set $E$ if and only if there is a sequence $\langle q_n:n\in\mathbb{N}\rangle$ of points of $E\setminus\{p\}$ such that $d(p,q_n)\to 0$ as $n\to\infty$.

(This of course assumes that there is a metric $d$; this definition doesn't work for topological spaces in general.)

A: Let me give a different attempt to explain why you are misunderstanding. Yes, many people have told you, and likely convinced you, that there is something wrong. However, a very simple example would just tell the exact directionality of the wrongness.
You should see the link between limit points and Rudin's 2nd proof of the irrationality of sqrt 2. (As a sidenote, I just discovered that that particular proof is just plain wrong.)
Remember, Rudin was saying that sqrt 2 is irrational because you can get a sequence of points in the rationals, always getting closer to sqrt 2, but never reaching it? If you now consider the set of points made by any such sequence, that set of points has as a limit point the sqrt of 2, but sqrt 2 is NOT in the set, nor is it even in the set of rationals.
Let us look even more into depth. Rudin gave, in Example 1.1, an algorithm. That is, for any p in (positive) rationals you pick, he tells you how to find a q that is closer to sqrt 2, but never reaching. Thus, for any such p you pick, you now have an infinite sequence that will give you better and better approximations to sqrt 2, always going monotonically closer, and from one direction (never overshooting). Just repeatedly apply the algorithm to find the new q.
This sequence of points in rationals, when seen as elements of a set, is a countable set. If you stop the sequence at any integer n, it would be a finite set of isolated points. Isolated, in the same sense as the set of integers are made of isolated points in the rationals / reals. PROOF: For any integer you pick, just pick a radius less than 1, and suddenly you have a neighbourhood (in rationals / reals) around this integer, where there is no other point in the set of integers in this neighbourhood. Hence isolated. QED.
Similarly, the finite set of isolated points that make up a truncated sequence for sqrt 2, are isolated because you can pick the distance between the two closest points as a radius, and suddenly your neighbourhood with any point is isolated to just that one point.
Hence why the name ``limit point''---the idea is to convey the limit of a sequence. You need to even to talk about Cauchy sequences and so forth.
That is, look at the fully infinite sequence. Then sqrt 2 is a limit point, because no matter how small (as long as non-zero) you pick a radius for the neighbourhood around sqrt 2, you will find that the neighbourhood around sqrt 2 will include not just one other point in the set, but infinitely many (that is part of a theorem quite close after Rudin defined limit points). This captures the entire meaning of limit points, and is the original motivation anyway. Rudin just kept doing this bait-and-switch, telling you things, but not why.
As should be now obvious, limit points may not be in the set itself. Namely boundary points of open sets are clearly limit points of the set. That gives the sensible generalisation of the concept of boundaries away from the colloquial 2D and 3D simple cases. The intuition that is built by Venn diagrams is made more rigorous and generalised.

The small rural writers festival…
'COME ON UP' is the catch cry of the Upper Hunter Valley and the rural town of Scone wants you to 'come on up', not just to experience great country hospitality and marvel at the glorious landscape, but to be stimulated and refreshed by making new connections at the annual Scone Literary Festival.
Now in its fourth year, the Festival this year, on 11 and 12 November, boasts a stellar line up of big names worthy of being on the bill of any major city festival. It is the only writer's festival in the Upper Hunter and is growing in audience size and reputation at breakneck speed.
One of the stars is Peter FitzSimons and significantly, as the 11th is Remembrance Day, his many books have relevance, covering various conflicts including Fromelles and Villiers-Bretonneux. He will be in conversation with our local literary treasure Phillip Adams. President of the festival committee Jan Sinclair said: "We may be a small festival in a small town, but we have big ideas and a real desire to grow this wonderful event into one of the region's biggest events. We are so thrilled to have the likes of Peter FitzSimons on this year's program. Attracting such names really takes the festival into a different league.
We would like to think that in the next few years we could grow in size and become similar in size to the Byron Bay Writers Festival".
And with a line up like the 2017 event there is no reason that this might not eventuate!
Phillip will be discussing his most recent book called 'Insights and Reflections' recounting topics he has examined in his columns and he will also talk with Don Watson, ex-Prime Minister Keating's speechwriter and screenwriter of 'The Man Who Sued God', about his latest book, 'There It Goes Again.'
Tom Thompson (publisher, collector and valuer) and local, Peter Haydon, will launch 'To Beersheba 1917', a book celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Australian Light Horse and the Charge at Beersheba.
Another star attraction this year is Rosalie Ham, whose great book 'The Dressmaker' was made into a very successful movie. The Producer of the movie, Sue Maslin, will also be there and both will speak at the Soiree on Saturday evening, after which there will be a screening of the movie under the stars!
The audience are being encouraged to dress up in 1950s attire and also be inspired by the photographic exhibition from the making of the film which will be on display.
On Sunday 12 November Phillip Adams will be in conversation again, with Gold Walkley Winner and Newcastle Journalist, Joanne McCarthy, who will also be part of a panel talking about 'The dark art of writing domestic drama'. She will be joined by Mel Jacobs, Paul Mitchell and yet another Walkley Award winner, Melissa Lucashenko.
The list of authors continues with the likes of 'Red Dog' photographer and locally based artist David Darcy along with Cathryn Hein, Kim Kelly, Ilka Tampke, Annette Marfording and local Upper Hunter author Leonie Rogers.
The weekend wraps up with a Creative Writing workshop, supported by Arts Upper Hunter, with Paul Mitchell and a laid back, lazy Sunday afternoon Book Club where you are invited to discuss your latest reads with fellow book lovers.

Scrapbooking with your children and be fun and educational at the same time. It makes a great summer project for kids or on rainy days when there is nothing to do.
Get together at your table and gather up some photos, embellishments, paper, craft scissors, adhesive, stickers and more and make a fun project with your photos and albums.
Start by creating a child friendly photo or scrapbook album. Make fun layouts such as vacations, birthday parties, holidays, friends, etc. If an album is a little too much for your youngster try making a few layouts or individual pages to start with.
Have children work with smaller paper such as a 6 x 6" or 8x8" and use smaller albums so kids won't be overwhelmed or intimidated by such a big project.
Set aside supplies for kids such as punches, stickers, and stamps that would be fun for them to use. Get some markers and colored pencils out for them to write or draw with.
Teach them some basics such as how to mat a photo or picking colors that go well together for their pages.
Allow them to choose what they want to do and give them some freedom to express themselves. They will love to express themselves and be creative with the project.
Work for short periods. Especially with younger children. Older kids can work for longer periods of time but you can decide what works best for your kids.
Help them out when they ask otherwise work on your on individual projects and let them experiment. No matter what the result are of the scrapbooks this will be a fun time and a wonderful experience for you to share with your children.

Abundant sunshine. High 77F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph..
A sparkling rose can help set a Valentine's Day mood.
Don't look to me for dating advice, but I will happily suggest some wines for your Valentine's Day celebration. It's a special occasion—as special as you want it to be, at least—and wine can help set the mood for the evening. Best of all, a "special occasion" wine doesn't have to be expensive—just delicious.
And if roses are part of the decorations, why not mirror them with a sparkling rosé? My splurge pick for this year is the Charles Orban Brut Rosé from Champagne. It costs $47, which is actually a great value for top-flight bubbly, especially as this is a "grower" champagne, meaning the winery uses only grapes from its own vineyards and controls production from vine to wine. This delicious rosé will reflect the glint in your eye as it entrances with flavors of strawberries, raspberries and spring flowers.
If your budget's tight, cava is the way to go. I'm a fan of the Biutiful Brut Rosé, which I recommended last fall, as well as the 1+1=3 white and rosé, all widely available. (The 1+1=3 Brut was one of my Greatest Values of 2018.) I also really enjoy the Belle Jardin Blanc de Blanc from France—not champagne, but bright, tasty and best of all, affordable at a modest $15.
If your evening isn't complete without a red wine, pinot noir is the answer. Its silky texture mellows the mood, and it also pairs well with a wide variety of foods. Burgundy is the gold standard, and with some judicious searching it is possible to find a great one at an affordable price. The Chateau de Santenay Hautes-Cotes de Beaune, at $26, was one of my favorite wines last year, a gorgeous single-vineyard wine at a very friendly price. I tend to gravitate toward Oregon pinot noir, where I have too many favorites to list. (But we can start with Brooks, Domaine Drouhin, Roserock and J. Christopher. Let me catch my breath and I can go on from there.) Santa Barbara offers some delicious pinots, including from J. Wilkes, Lucas & Lewellen and Cambria. And any pinot from Siduri is worth seeking out.
And then of course, dessert. Just as bubbles can get your dinner off to a great start, a fine dessert wine can set the mood for the rest of the evening. We tend to ignore wine with dessert, preferring instead to finish off whatever remains of the dinner wine. That makes a glass of sweet sherry, port or Madeira all the more special. These can pair nicely with elegant desserts such as custards, nut tarts or chocolate cake. Late-bottled vintage port is a good, value-priced wine ($20 to $30) that pairs excellently with chocolate desserts. For a splurge, look for the outstanding 2016 vintage ports now reaching the market. Vintage port is big and intense, with strong tannins to help it age for decades. When it is young, however, vintage port offers explosive fruit. Aged tawny ports are great with custard-based desserts.
Of course, you can always end with bubbles. Sweet champagnes, typically labeled demi-sec, are hard to find, but there's a Valentine's secret sleeping on your store's Italy shelf. It's called brachetto d'acqui, and hails from Piemonte, the home of Barolo in Italy's northwest.
Brachetto is a fizzy red with an alluring aroma of orange blossoms and raspberries, plus a sweetness and acidity that can match a chocolate dessert perfectly, especially if there is fruit or a fruit sauce involved.
It's also lighter in body and lower in alcohol than port or sherry.
If sparkling wine, pinot and dessert seems like a lot of wine—well, it is. But you don't have to finish any bottle. Check out my pointers for keeping your leftover wine fresh, and keep your mind fresh for the rest of your Valentine's evening.

Our best allies during spring time! These personalised zip-up hoodies are perfectly wearable and easily to take them off if the heat suddenly hits.
Printed zipped hoodies fit in almost any kind of clubs, associations, bands, schools, universities, companies, designers, events … It is a versatile garment that can be worn for sports or combined with jeans. That's why it never goes out of style!
Keep in mind that you can not stamp onto the zipper, so the designs have to be medium size to not invade the zipper area. A classic option is to print a logo on the heart area using classic screen printing.
Screen printing is a resistant and high quality method, which can be used for both small and large print runs of customised zipped sweatshirts.
For orders of printed hoodies we can print up to 6 colours using traditional screen-printing.
It's always cheaper to print on white clothing and in 1 or 2 colours.
In larger orders printing your multicoloured design in screen-printing can be very affordable.
In smaller orders we recommend reducing the amount of colours in the design or perhaps employing a different customisation technique such as DTG digital printing in order to get the best value-for-money printed zipped hoodies.
Embroidery is an option widely used in sports club hoodies. The embroidered shields are especially fancy.
You can calculate on-line on our website or you can send us an e-mail and we will gladly help you!

Who want to be the coolest kid in town? Say no more, just put one of these custom varsity jackets in your life!
It seems that personalised college jackets never go out of fashion, as they combine style and comfort in a unique way. They are a up-to-date alternative to the classic sweatshirts.
Varsity jackets are available in adult and kid's sizes, in a huge variety of colour combinations: from the most classic and softr to the most more daring colours. So you can print baseball jackets to your liking.
Very popular in the USA since the 50s, Varsity university jackets have transcended their classic use and nowadays they are part of all kinds of merchandising, workwear apparel or clothing for clubs. Many clothing brands and designers also choose to offer them in their collections!
Screen printing: For logos, texts or simple designs using up to 1-3 inks. Ideal for large runs of customised college jackets.
Embroidery: a classic resistant method, with the most elegant results. Perfect for embroidering logos on sweatshirts for your club or band merch.
CAD-CUT vinyl: to create sweatshirts with individual numbers or to reproduce complicated designs that imply the use of many colours or details.

Today we bring you an international example from Munich: a nursing team wanted some personalised hoodies with their company logo, and as you can see in the picture below, the results are very eye-catchy!
The printed hooded sweats with the company logo have the advantage that the team can be easily identified, which provide more team spirit. By the way, they also keep the staff warm and chic!
These nursing team opted for a double-sided design with screen printing: an optimal choice for workwear clothing, because screen printing is resistant and give great long-lasting results.
Screen-printing is the best option to customise hoodies with designs or logos in plane colours.

In Odessa, about 6,500 people received assistance on a regular basis before the war. Each of them is assigned a social worker, and they continue to receive help during the war. This was said by the acting deputy mayor of Odesa, Oleh Bryndak, in an interview with a journalist of the Estonian publication Eesti Päevalent. As for internally displaced persons, after their registration, they get access to all social services provided in Odessa.
"On top of it, there are humanitarian centers in every district of the city, where people can seek help. In addition to clothing, medicines, food, they can also get information about medical support, registration of children in educational institutions, or other important issues there," – Oleh Bryndak added.
Today, the Odesa City Hall presented a program of financial support from the International Rescue Committee for those affected by the war. People over the age of 18, affected by the conflict, who have a valid document and a valid mobile number can take part in the program. One person can receive assistance in the amount of 6,600 hryvnias, which is issued for three months – 2,200 hryvnias per month. Questions about the program can be asked in Telegram at 093455 0576 (Monday-Friday 10:00-18:00).
People are stick together and active, they are engaged in volunteer activities, participate in charity events.
The situation is tense due to the threat of rocket attacks.
The coordinator of the All-Ukrainian Initiative "Active Community" provided information to citizens on receiving psychological, social and humanitarian assistance.
During the night, 60 shells were fired at Nikopol from the Grad MLRS. In the city, 2 private houses and an outdoor kitchen caught fire. 1 house and 3 outbuildings were destroyed. Almost 50 private houses and 33 household outbuildings were damaged. 8 garages and 11 cars were damaged.
Three local businesses were hit. Windows, buildings and equipment are broken there. More than 100 solar panels were broken. 2 power lines were cut. As a result, more than 3,000 people are currently without electricity.
The Kryvyi Rih Raion was also hit by the russian army. The blows were inflicted on the Karpivka and Shyroke communities. A 44-year-old woman was injured in the Shyroke community. A farm building caught fire. 1 private house was damaged.
In the Kryvyi Rih direction, the occupiers tried to carry out combat reconnaissance with the support of two tanks. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine gave a worthy rebuff to the invaders.
Volunteers of the Charitable Foundation "Songs born in the ATO" handed over humanitarian kits for internally displaced persons. Some were distributed in Dnipro hospitals to mothers with children, pregnant women, and women in labor. The representative of the foundation added that they talked with doctors in advance and learned about the needs of displaced patients. 30 sets were brought to one of the hospitals, and another 40 to the other. Volunteers will distribute the rest of the kits in the raions of the oblast. In total, there are 150 such packages.
In Dnipro, a boy sells compote and collects money for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to the young man, he went out to sell compote on his own accord, because he wants to make extra money and help the military at least in some way.
More than 2,000 students were left without their alma mater: in Apostolovo, the russian army destroyed all the schools.
In Dnipro, an agitator who was waiting for the "russian world" was sentenced to 5 years.
The air alarm was sounded: there was a threat of a missile attack on Kropyvnytskyi. Currently, the situation in the communities is calm and under control.
The head of the Kirovohrad Oblast Military Administration, Andrii Raykovych, said that the harvest campaign is ongoing. The harvest is good. There is something to stock up on for the winter.
For a month, volunteers from the city of Znamianka (Kropyvnytskyi Raion) collect motorcycle equipment from the 60s and 90s of the last century in any condition and without documents, in order to repair and send it to the front line.
A virtual memorial was created in Kpopyvnytskyi. Its main purpose is to honor compatriot soldiers in the fight against the russian invaders. The site is called "Glory to Heroes". This is a special project of the Department of Education of the Kpyvnytskyi City Council. Educators and schoolchildren of the city created videos, wrote stories, set up memory corners in educational institutions, placed memorial plaques to heroes on school buildings.
From August 4 to October 31, at the central reception of the "Transparent Office" in Kropyvnytskyi, there will be a box into which anyone can drop coins. This was reported by the press service of the Kropyvnytskyi City Council. Banknotes and coins of all denominations, even those that are not currently in use, are accepted as part of the "Brave Coin" campaign. The collected coins will be officially transferred to the Kirovohrad branch of "Oschadbank", which will transfer the collected funds to a special account of the National Bank of Ukraine for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Anatoliy Stoyan, regional coordinator of AUI "Active Community" in Kropyvnytskyi, held an art therapy event "In the Sea of Emotions" in the Kirovohrad Oblast Youth Library named after Yevhen Malanyuk, with the participation of 20 children and adults. The event was attended by local residents and IDPs (about 30 people). Each participant of the event received a positive charge during interactive exercises and a patriotic badge as a reminder.
Homeowners who sheltered internally displaced persons are already receiving assistance from the state. Poltava Oblast received more than 13 million hryvnias for payments for three spring months. Half has already been transferred to the residents of the oblast. The remaining funds will arrive soon. In total, in all communities of Poltava Oblast, about 9,000 homeowners took part in the "Shelter" program and provided housing to more than 30,000 internally displaced people.
Public discussion on renaming streets and alleys of the Poltava community starts today.
Public consultations will be carried out in two stages:
From August 3 to 17, people can send their suggestions for renaming via the link or vote on the E-dem platform https://consult.e-dem.ua/ (chapter "Public Consultations"). The results will be published separately, after consideration and analysis of the submitted proposals.
The assets of a russian businessman operating in the Poltava Oblast were handed over to the State. After February 24, the owner tried to conduct non-commodity operations through the agricultural enterprise to receive cash. The russian wanted to take the money abroad, but the Security Service of Ukraine destroyed all plans. Among the seized assets are 15 warehouses, 2 holiday homes, 3 animal husbandry complexes, 37 vehicles: tractors, combine harvesters, planters, trucks.
If there are no electronic boards with the traffic schedule, active Poltava citizens come to the rescue. For several days in a row, a student of the Poltava University, Nazarii, has been pasting up the updated timetables of the trolleybus at bus stops. He started doing it after the change of the curfew, when the traffic schedule also changed. Poltava residents mostly support such an initiative, because it is convenient, especially for those who do not have the skills to use a smartphone.
The Poltava branch of AUI "Active Community" conducted preparatory work for an art therapy event for families of internally displaced persons.
Khmilnyk and Khmilnytskyi district
An air raid siren sounded throughout the day. The past day passed peacefully in the Khmelnytskyi community. Utilities are working as usual.
15 displaced persons from Donetsk region were evacuated by Pokrovsk-Lviv train to the regional boarding house in Vinnytsia.
The coordinator of AUI "Active Community" of Khmilnyk and Khmilnytsky District communicated with the head nurse of the "Khmilnyk" sanatorium. It was about services provided to internally displaced persons.
Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast
The situation in the region is stable and under control.
In Ivano-Frankivsk, the Security Service of Ukraine detained a local resident, who was recruited by the Russian FSB to obtain data on the objects of the city and region important for the conduct of hostilities. The traitor gave the Russian special service consent to cooperate, but the Ukrainian special service managed to neutralize him before he could give the enemies the information they needed. The agent received an order from his FSB supervisor to collect data on: the location of military facilities in the region; movement of military equipment of the Armed Forces in the direction of the area of hostilities; location and mode of checkpoints.
Yesterday, an operational meeting was held, at which the main issue was preparation for the heating season, at which an instruction from the government to reduce the amount of gas consumption by 10% was announced. Provisions were also made to reward students who best pass the multi-subject test. Children who pass it with 600 points will receive 15 thousand hryvnias.
The general situation is relatively calm, as of 14:20 there were no air alarms.
On August 4, in Rivne, the special services received a report about the alleged demining of several objects. As of 1:00 p.m., checks are being conducted at all addresses, the National Police of the region reported. The messages were received at 12:00. It is about a railway and bus station, as well as a street near the central market.
As of 2:14 p.m., National Police explosives officers examined the bus station – no dangerous objects were found, and according to the results of an inspection of the railway station in Rivne, no explosive objects were found.
360,000 hryvnias were paid from the budget of the Rivne community to support the military. 29 residents of the Rivne community, who signed the first contract for military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine starting in January 2021, received 10,000 hryvnias each.
Khmelnitskyi Oblast
A link to the project "Be! Support for Ukrainian women looking for work". This is a support program for Ukrainian women who lost their jobs because of the war, want to get a new profession and dream of a career in IT. Ukrainian women can take part in the selection, regardless of age, experience or place of stay. You can learn more about the "Be" platform and register at the link: https://inscience.io/be/.
Thanks to cooperation with the "World Central Kitchen" charitable foundation, the city council provided
assistance to the families of the fallen Ukrainian Heroes.
The city council cooperates with foreign partners to be able to help internally displaced persons and support various industries in the community. Received a humanitarian cargo from the International Solidarity Fund (Poland). It will be distributed according to needs. So far, medical supplies have already been handed over to the Department of Health Care, and household chemicals to cadets of the Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs.
The possibility of attracting financial aid to the community from the charity Caritas is also being discussed – in particular, to help people who house displaced people in their homes, to purchase a car for a social taxi, and to open a social bakery.
There have been recorded cases when emigrants who temporarily lived in the city, leaving for abroad or to another settlement, left their dogs in dormitory rooms or simply on the street.
The "Young AMBASSADOR Course" project continues in the community, in which young people from different parts of Ukraine participate. Today, the regional coordinator of AUI "Active Community" held an art therapy session for them "Movement in space and time". The coordinators delivered the cargo to the New Post from the Kukharska sotnia public organization for Ukrainian defenders in the Kharkiv region.

Exercise addiction – managing the tangle of anxiety, eating and exercise.
It started when I pressed snooze at 6am and cancelled my spinning class. I'd been in the gym at 6.30 all the previous week and had just returned from a busy couple of days running and walking in Cornwall. I was exhausted. But I didn't get back to sleep. Anxiety levels rose. Getting dressed I was acutely aware of all my clothes, how they pressed against my skin. I couldn't find anything I felt comfortable in. My hands felt swollen and my chest tight. My mind was whirring with calculations and lists.
It wasn't until after a session on the cross trainer, a long swim and walk with the dog that I felt like myself again. A combination of relief from thoughts about overeating and, much more importantly, relief from the anxiety that made it matter so much in the first place.
Yesterday evening I ran a very long way* because I ate some cake and chocolate buttons at work. The morning spin class stopped being enough.
It's not so much the calories – although that doesn't help at the moment. It's a craving for that feeling after exercise where your thoughts are calm and still, your body feels tired but deserving of care and nourishment and your mind doesn't have to calculate or judge because it knows you've done enough to rest.
My knees and hips ache and sometimes even crunch. They need a break. I am finally cutting down the running in favour of spinning, swimming and cycling.
But the daily doublethink is still absurd. Cold baths and a knee support is not going to allow me to run miles and miles however much I wish it would. Immediate relief still trumps long-term sensible decisions too much of the time. Even if that relief is tinged with guilt and frustration.
I'm planning my next exercise session whilst I'm in the middle of the previous one. I try to be more sensible but those persistent thoughts keep popping up.
'You could run tonight. You could just do an extra session on the cross trainer after spinning. You could fit in a swim tomorrow morning if you get up really early. Remember how good it feels when you're done, how much more you enjoy your food when you feel you deserve it, how much easier it is to rest and to concentrate when that anxious energy is stilled'.
Once I imagine that feeling, it's hard to turn away from it.
But that feeling is lasting a shorter and shorter time. When I'm exercising twice a day and feeling anxious and panicky when I can't get moving it's time to get some help.
My eating, emotions and exercise have always been tangled. I've relied on running to manage my mental health since before I knew that's what I was doing – but as I wrote in a healthier time I've tended to maintain a slightly healthier balance.
I think it's been creeping back up on me for a while. I ran a lot more when I was trying to reduce my Citalopram last year (an anti depressant I've been on for 14 years and is notoriously difficult to come off). I went vegan in January and lost weight, bought a wedding dress, stopped being so strictly vegan and gained it again. I dieted to fit back into the dress. I trained hard for the London Marathon in April. Although the feeling of achievement (and beating my brother's time) definitely helps me appreciate my body's strength, marathons do give me a certain permission to run more than I should. I exercised more to manage the anxiety and emotion that naturally surrounded getting married. It was the best day of my life – but of course there were stressful moments before and after.
It's been hard to admit that things aren't right. It feels almost embarrassing. I don't want people to look at me with pity and concern when I head out for a run. I want to be the kind of woman who is proud of her body's ability to run, to love and to help me live life 'to the full'. Who doesn't worry about how she appears to others as long as she's happy in herself. But that woman is as much of a myth as those airbrushed models we all love to hate. It's just a different kind of perfect. Living with these issues is much more complex.

Who doesn't worry about how she appears to others as long as she's happy in herself. But that woman is as much of a myth as those airbrushed models we all love to hate. It's just a different kind of perfect.
It doesn't stop me functioning. I work, see friends and family, make exciting plans with my husband, look after my dog Watson. There's been a lot going on for a long time and exercise has actively helped me cope, at least in the short term.
But it's starting to add a more exhausting undercurrent to everything that should be most fun. It's slowly wearing away my joints. It takes up time and brain space I'd rather be using for other things – writing, reading, creativity, growing things. It pulls my attention inwards. It dulls and distracts from everyday pleasures and makes it harder to follow those vows I made on my wedding day – to be silly and kind.
I'm not sure what's going to happen next. But I've got the point where I've admitted there's a bit of a problem. That doesn't mean things will immediately change. I'm certainly not going to be able to cut down too much straight away. But it means I'm looking for help. I've been to the doctor and he is referring me to some more CBT. I've signed up for another Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy course to help make sure I remember other ways to give my mind some space. I've stopped following people whose posts about rigorous training routines encourage those unhelpful persistent thoughts. And I've upped my anti depressants a touch. Recovery doesn't always go smoothly. I hope one day I'll be off them, but it's not quite yet.
*I'm trying not to mention distances or times as that's generally considered unhelpful for others who may be experiencing similar difficulties to read. It's too easy to get into comparison and competition, even if it's sometimes a subconscious effect.

Located in northwest Oklahoma City, Lake Hefner was built in 1947. In addition to being one of the city's reservoirs and one of the more popular lakes in the area, it is an excellent place for sailing, picnicking, recreation, and fishing. The lake often holds sailboat races and is home to extensive jogging trails, playgrounds, and a golf course.
According to the City of Oklahoma City, Lake Hefner is 2,500 acres in size with an average depth of 29 feet. The lake's deepest point is approximately 94 feet.
Lake Hefner sits just west of the Lake Hefner Parkway as far north as Hefner Road and south past Wilshire. It is also accessible just northeast of the Northwest Expressway between MacArthur and Portland.
Lake Hefner is considered the premiere location for sailboating in the Oklahoma City area. From April to October, weekends bring sailboat races, and Hefner is home to the Oklahoma City Boat Club. The lake has docks as well as dry storage for boats. For information about the harbor or boat storage, call (405) 843-4976.
Daily boat permits are $6.25; annual permits are $33. Call (405) 297-2211 to speak with a Parks and Recreation representative regarding permits.
One of the more popular things to do at Lake Hefner is jog, walk, or bike. The Lake Hefner trails trace the entire lake and stretch just over 9 miles in total. They are 12 feet wide and asphalt, and the east side of the lake also contains some 6 feet wide trails specifically for pedestrians.
Play and Picnic
There are top-notch playgrounds and picnic areas all around Lake Hefner. Visitors can watch the colorful sail boats as they picnic or fly kites on the wide-open area of the wharfs.
Although the picnic areas and playgrounds are free, Lake Hefner visitors must have a city fishing permit to fish off the bank or the covered piers. A daily permit is $3.50; annually it's $18.50. Call (405) 297-2211 to speak with a Parks and Recreation representative regarding permits.
There is also an enclosed and heated fishing dock.
Stars and Stripes Park
On the southeast side of the lake is Stars and Stripes Park, home to the annual Turkey Trot Classic as well as a number of other recreational events from team sports to biking.
Lake Hefner Golf Course
Located on the southwest side of the lake, just off Northwest Expressway, the Lake Hefner Golf Course sports a north and a south course. The north course is nearly 7,000 yards in total length while the south course is a bit smaller at about 6,300.
There is a driving range, putting green, restaurant, golf shop and all the rentals you need. Call (405) 843-1565 for more information or get the greens fees online.
The golf course is not the only place to grab a bite at the lake. In fact, Hefner is a very popular location for dining, offering several restaurants with excellent views.

Erma Bombeck called motherhood the world's second oldest profession, but she probably wasn't familiar with trilobites. These extinct marine arthropods may have been taking care of their young over 500 million years ago. Paleontologists Richard Fortey of the Natural History Museum in London and Nigel Hughes of the University of California at Riverside propose that a mysterious swelling, seen in front of the head of many trilobite fossils, is in fact a brood pouch, in which females sequestered their tiny larvae. The Cambrian seas were no place for unprotected youngsters. "There were lots of predators around," says Fortey. "There was a horrible big thing called Anomalocaris, a very large sort of shrimp with grasping appendages."
By guarding her larvae, a trilobite could help more offspring survive. Fortey got the idea while dining on horseshoe crab, the trilobites' closest living relative, in Thailand. "I couldn't for the life of me work out what there was to eat on it. They're rather scratchy creatures," he says. "To my amazement, when they brought the thing, I found it was the eggs you eat. They're stored in the front of the animal, in the same position you get these swellings in trilobites."
Hughes and Fortey compiled a list of about 20 trilobite pairs that appeared at the same time and place, with swellings and without. These may represent males and females of the same species. "It's the first suggestion of sexual differentiation in trilobites," says Fortey. "It's also the oldest geologic example of parental care."


It is always a tremendous joy for us when we have the privilege of Baptizing believers in the lord Jesus Christ.
Any person who gives evidence of regeneration by acceptance of Jesus Christ as both Saviour and Lord, and who desires to confess Him publicly, with the recommendation of the Pastor and the Board of Deacons, can be baptized. Baptism will be administered according to Biblical standards. Exceptions are made when illness or disability would prevent someone from being baptized by immersion, arrangements would be made for baptism to be administered in a diffrent manner.
Please talk a member of our leadership team if you would like to follow Jesus in the waters of baptism.

Кератоконъюнктиви́т  — воспаление роговицы и конъюнктивы. В случае изолированного воспалительного процесса роговицы, заболевание именуют кератит, а если воспалена только конъюнктива, то — конъюнктивит.

Этиология
Существует несколько возможных причин воспаления:
 сухой кератоконъюнктивит — причина развития воспалительного процесса связана с дефицитом влаги (слёзной жидкости). («Sicca» означает «сухость»). Данная патология встречается у 20 % пациентов с ревматоидным артритом.
 Термин «весенний кератоконъюнктивит» используют для обозначения кератоконъюнктивита, развивающегося весной, как правило, вызванного массовым цветением и связанного с ним повышения уровня аллергенов.
 «Атопический кератоконъюнктивит» является одним из проявлений атопии.
 «Эпидемический кератоконъюнктивит» вызывается аденовирусной инфекцией.
 «Усиленный лимбической кератоконъюнктивит» — чаще вызван механическими травмами.
 «Фотоэлектрический кератоконъюнктивит» (электроофтальмия) — воспаление, вызванное фотоэлектрическим ожогом роговицы УФ-светом. Является одним из видов ультрафиолетового кератита. Неблагоприятное воздействие ультрафиолетовых лучей может быть вызвано работой с дуговой сваркой без защитных очков. В случае длительного воздействия солнечного света на большой высоте (в горах), усиленного отражением от снега развивается временный амавроз, называемый («снежной слепотой»). Обычно процесс проявляется только через небольшой промежуток времени (от 6 до 12 часов). Его проявления можно лечить с помощью зрительного отдыха (наложения не пропускающей свет повязки), так как восстановление зрения обычно происходит через 24-48 часов. В целях профилактики фотоэлектрического кератоконъюнктивита следует носить защитные средства для глаз (специальные очки).
 «Розовый глаз у овец и коз» — инфекционный кератоконъюнктивит, встречающийся в ветеринарной практике, в основном вызван .
 «Инфекционный бычий кератоконъюнктивит» (ИБК) — заболевание, поражающее крупный рогатый скот, вызванное бактериями .

Симптоматика
Развитие аденовирусного кератоконъюнктивита начинается на одном глазу. Потом воспалительный процесс слизистой переходит на другой глаз. Основные признаки кератоконъюнктивита и симптомы:
 отек, который способен привести к развитию хемоза, в результате происходит ущемления слизистой глаз веками;
 гипермия век, конъюнктивы;
 активизация образования слёз;
 болевые ощущения при дневном освещении;
 чувство присутствия инородного тела;
 жжение и зуд;
 покраснения;
 болезненные ощущения;
 туманность в глазах, нарушения остроты зрения;
 выделения гнойных, слизистых выделений из глазных яблок;
 появления в структуре слизистой фолликулов, сосочков, прозрачной плёнки на поверхности глаза;
 спазм век;
 высокая температура;
 слабость, озноб;
 появления насморка, головной боли, першения в горле;
 увеличения лимфатических узлов.

В зависимости от типа заболевания проявляются специфические признаки.
 Вирусный кератоконъюнктивит характеризуется появлением в структуре слизистой кровоизлияний.
 Для хламидийного типа заболевания свойственно развитие фолликулярной реакции. Она заключается в появлении специфических образований над слизистой глаз.
 Аллергический кератоконъюнктивит отличается развитием в районе лимба слизистой гиперпластического эпителия, бледных бородавок.
 Эпидемический кератоконъюнктивит сопровождается помутнением роговицы в виде небольшого пятна.
 Для атопического типа заболевания свойственно появления в области лимба белесоватых бляшек.
 Сухой кератоконъюнктивит проявляется путём иссушения слизистой оболочки воспалённого глазного яблока. Он может стать причиной развития нитчатого кератита.

Being arrested in NSW - what can and can't the police do?
When you are arrested in NSW, there are certain procedures the police must follow. If they fail to do so, any evidence they try to bring against you might be disregarded in court. Your lawyer can advise you on your rights, and whether the police acted according to the rules or not in your particular situation, but here is a brief overview of some of the things the police can and can't do when they are arresting someone.
Can police arrest me without a good reason?
No. The police can only arrest you if they catch you in the act of committing an offence, or if they have a good reason to believe you are about to commit an offence. Other reasons they can arrest you are if they have a warrant for your arrest, or if they believe that you have breached your bail conditions.
Do I have to answer police questions when I have been arrested?
Unless you have been arrested for a terrorist related offence, you generally do not have to answer police questions. In fact, it is a good idea to remain silent until you have spoken to a lawyer. In the confusion and distress of being arrested, you might give inaccurate answers, or feel pressured into providing a false confession. You do need to provide your name, address and date of birth, but that is all the information you have to give.
You might be required to provide additional information if you have been arrested under the national parks and wildlife act, the traffic act and the local government act.
What are my rights if I am arrested in NSW?
If you are under 18, or considered a vulnerable person by way of having an intellectual or physical disability, or you come from a non-English speaking background, you are allowed to have a support person with you during investigations.
How long can police hold me after they arrest me?
Generally police are only allowed to hold you for up to four hours before they have to either charge you, or release you. If they obtain a warrant, they can extend this time period for an extra eight hours.
The four hours does not include time taken to contact legal representation, and friends/relatives, or time taken to use bathroom facilities.
Where can I get more information about my arrest rights in NSW?
Here is some more in depth information about being arrested in NSW, and what your rights are. If you believe that you have been treated unfairly, contact Sydney Criminal Lawyers® for advice, and an explanation of the complaints process.
What is Considered Reasonable Force in NSW?
