Tag is a short comic about a forest haunted by the victims of a serial killers. The kids spend their eternal childhoods playing an unending game of tag. The game is interrupted by the arrival of a new child.
The story was inspired by a childhood experience. While playing tag in an abandoned building, my friends and I found a human skull. Weirdly, it was an experience I forgot about until many years later.
El Morro and George is a short story about my lifelong love for monuments and history. I found inspiration in the parallels between the city I was born in, and the one in which I currently reside. Both are filled with evidence of their long, complicated histories.
It was designed for and published on Instagram, shortly the rollout of the multi-image posts. The feature seemed like a natural platform for short comics, and I decided to experiment with a simple tale.

Biografi
I mitten av 2017 fick hon en stor hit med en cover på "Jag trodde änglarna fanns", skriven av William Kristoffersen, låtskrivare i Ole Ivars. Låten har ursprungligen framförts av den svenska sångerskan Kikki Danielsson och det norska dansbandet Ole Ivars. Låten nådde stora framgångar på spellistor, och gick i september upp på förstaplatsen på Svensktoppen. Senare samma sommar släppte artisten en version av "Tusen bitar"; ursprungligen framförd av Anne Linnet.

I slutet av november 2017 tillkännagavs att Kamferdrops skulle delta Melodifestivalen 2018 med numret "Solen lever kvar hos dig", där den slutade på sjätte plats i deltävling 1. Kamferdrops brukar vid offentliga framträdanden dölja ansiktet med en ansiktsmask eller ett par stora solglasögon.

Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili is the perfect soup for this cold weather that has extended into February. It's also a healthy chili, packed with sweet potatoes, meat, and stewed tomatoes from our garden.
This was my first time trying this chili, it is so hearty! You couldn't help but have seconds. I like adding the cauliflower to this soup. It was a great addition!
Kids are keeping us pretty busy with basketball games and practices. I guess it gives us something to do during the winter, before it starts to stay lighter later in the evening. Then we know baseball and softball is closer.
In the past week, we have added one more to our family, a yellow lab puppy. She is nine weeks old now. The kids are so excited to have her around!
Preparing this Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili was so easy in the Instant Pot. I cooked it on Manual for 15 minutes. It tasted so good, like it had been cooking on the stove top all day!
Make sure to add your favorite topping on this soup. I added cilantro, cheese, and tortilla strips.
1. Using the Brown setting on the Instant Pot, brown hamburger in Instant Pot with chopped onions and garlic.
2. Peel and chop sweet potatoes. Place in a glass bowl, add 1/8 cup water, and put in the microwave on High for 2 minutes.
3. When the hamburger is ready, add the chicken broth, stewed tomatoes, sweet potatoes, chipotles, cauliflower, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir.
4. Secure lid to Instant Pot, make sure steam valve is closed.
This could be also prepared in the Crock Pot on Low for 4-5 hours, or on High for 3-4 hours.
Use your favorite meat, hamburger, pork, chicken or turkey.
Top with cheese, cilantro, tortilla chips.
Gotta love the instant pot!
Instant pots rock! Congrats on the puppy!
We are having a blast with the puppy!
Such a delicious looking soup!

Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS Review
A sensor with a resolution of 12.1 megapixels and sensitivity settings ranging from ISO 80 to ISO 1,600 equivalents are included in the Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS design. In addition, the Canon SD1300 features a lens with 4x optical zoom, similar to a range of 28mm to 112mm on a 35mm camera. This provides the user with a suitable wide-angle to a modest telephoto.
Throughout the zoom range, the maximum aperture shifts from f/2.8 to f/5.9. In addition, the SD1300 IS from Canon comes equipped with genuine optical image stabilization technology that helps to reduce blur caused by camera shake.
The Canon SD1300 IS does not have any optical or electronic viewfinder; instead, the LCD on the back of the camera is used for all interactions. The display of the PowerShot SD1300 has a diagonal measurement of 2.7 inches. It delivers a resolution of 230,000 dots, roughly equivalent to a pixel array measuring 320 by 240 pixels with three beads per color. It is believed that the LCD coverage is approximately one hundred percent.
The Canon SD1300 is capable of recording still images at resolutions up to 4,000 x 3,000 pixels, as well as movie clips in standard definition at either VGA (640 x 480) or QVGA (320 x 240) resolution at a rate of 30 frames per second in Motion JPEG AVI format, and including monoaural audio. Still, images can be recorded at resolutions up to 4,000 x 3,000 pixels.
The Canon PowerShot SD1300IS uses Secure Digital, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards to store still photographs and videos. In addition, the NTSC and PAL standard definition composite video formats and the USB 2.0 High-Speed data format are both available as connectivity choices. The power comes from a unique lithium-ion rechargeable battery called NB-6L. This battery is supposed to last for 240 shots before it has to be recharged.
Body and Design
Style and ease of use are the defining characteristics of ELPH cameras, and the Canon SD1300 IS captures lots of styles while making it easier to take photographs that turn out well. The price tag of under $200 is also very enticing to consumers.
My connection with the dapper little ELPH was instant adoration and affection. As I carried it around, I continued to find something appealing about it, but I immediately came into a couple of restrictions. And even if there is nothing that casual shooters have any reason to dislike about it, fans might want to take note of it.
In the end, though, the Canon SD1300 will be a pleasant companion if you genuinely don't want to make decisions other than when to start recording a video or taking a picture with the camera.
You won't get those amazing photographs of your star on the soccer field where they are in fine focus and everyone else is a gorgeous blue, but you will get pleasant photos regardless of what you capture.
Without any direction from me, the Canon SD1300 captured some remarkably well-lit flash images and some nice close-ups and landscapes in natural light.
Look and Feel. The Canon SD1300 is stunning, which is precisely why I couldn't help but fall in love with it at first glance. A model in a metallic blue color (one may argue cerulean) was provided by Canon. In addition, it comes in various colors, including black, silver, green, pink, and brown.
The color shell on the side and top panels is broken up by a black band that hides the AV/Out port on the Canon SD1300 above the strap eyelet on the right side and narrows after the Shutter button on the top to become a thin band that continues down the left side. This frees up space for an easy-to-find and uses the power button in the shape of a triangle bigger than usual and located to the left of the shutter/zoom lever combo.
On the rear of the camera, near the 2.7-inch LCD, you'll find all of the typical PowerShot controls. A plastic tripod mount is next to the battery and card storage on the bottom of the Canon SD1300.
The front panel is completely smooth and flat; the only slightly elevated text it has is the word "Canon." Unfortunately, the Canon SD1300 lacks an optical viewfinder, in contrast to its predecessor, the SD1200 IS. But I don't feel like I'm missing out at all.
When I finished fastening the wrist strap, I just slid the item into the front pocket of my pants and was ready to go.
Tiny The power button is the most annoying part of tiny digital cameras, but the Canon SD1300 IS exciting control in the shape of a triangle. Because of this, the total surface area is significantly more than it would typically be. Because it is also somewhat elevated, I had no issue at all feeling for it to turn the camera on or off. This is because it is also a little raised. The power button is often a source of frustration. That is not the case with this one.
In addition, the Canon SD1300 begins its operation quickly once the Power button has been pressed. I didn't have to wait for the lens to come out or for the LCD to display what the lens was looking at. Both of those things happened very instantly. When I brought the camera up to my eyes, it was already set up and ready to go when I pressed the shutter button.
The Shutter button to the right is also relatively significant, and the Zoom lever surrounding it is in the perfect spot for me to access it. Because the zooming was so fluid and quick, without any jerkiness, I could frame my photographs without having to flip the Zoom lever.
The SD1300 IS does not include a Mode dial in its interface. On the other hand, it utilizes a Mode switch located at the rear panel's upper right corner. This switch has three settings: Smart Auto, Still, and Video. When you select Auto as your mode, you won't be able to adjust too many options, as I will explain below. Still does. And Video creates motion pictures.
The Playback button may be found on most devices' left of the Mode switch. To view the photographs saved to the SD card in the camera, you must hit the Playback button. When you push it when the camera is off, it will turn the camera on but will not expand the lens; putting the camera on a table with the back pointing down, for example, is extremely helpful.
Even more conveniently, you may turn off the camera by just pressing the Playback button. However, this is not the case if you come from the Recording mode into the Playback mode. If that is the case, all it does is put you back into the Recording mode. In that regard, you may think of it as an intelligent Playback button. One of the advantages of having a Playback button on the Canon SD1300 is that you can go back to Record mode with a half-press on the Shutter button. You cannot accomplish this if Playback is one of the options available on a Mode switch.
The buttons for displaying and accessing the menu are located underneath the navigator. Display navigates you through the various display choices, while Menu brings you to the camera's configuration settings.
Instead of the 3-inch LCD seen in many compacts nowadays, this one has 230K dots and is 2.7 inches diagonally. Because it can be seen even at an angle, you can hold the SD1300 IS over your head and still know what the Canon SD1300 is focusing on. Although, on the surface, that reduces glare; it is possible to leave fingerprints, although they may be removed quickly. However, I must confess that I did not miss having a 3-inch LCD.
What I did not have access to, however, was a lens that had a more excellent zoom range. The Canon SD1300's 4x zoom lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 28mm to 110mm, which provides a useful wide-angle to a moderate telephoto perspective. However, I frequently found myself shooting four times in the field of digital zoom, even when the subject was just a fair distance away, such as across the street.
Because this lens is equipped with Canon's optical image stabilization, blur caused by camera shake will not spoil the photo as frequently, even if you are forced to disable the flash (in a museum, for example).
The wide-angle lens has a maximum aperture of f/2.8, while the telephoto lens has a maximum aperture of f/5.9. On the other hand, the Canon SD1300 IS does not give you direct control over the aperture or the shutter speed.
The results of our laboratory testing revealed blurring in the corners of the picture when using a wide-angle lens and the typical barrel distortion (although it wasn't awful). The telephoto lens produced significantly more crisp results in the corner with no discernible distortion. The horizontal and vertical resolutions of the Canon SD1300 were more than 1,800 lines per inch. The horizontal resolution was much higher.
Modos
The Canon SD1300 has a more straightforward and user-friendly variety of Record modes than earlier ELPH models. This simplicity also brings with it a more intelligent Auto mode.
Canon's adaptation of what other manufacturers call intelligent Auto is called Smart Auto. However, unlike the other methods, Smart Auto does not choose a Scene mode. Instead, it analyzes the environment and selects one of 18 possible presets for the camera to use. These presets are differentiated from one another on the LCD screen by their icons and color schemes.
If the camera finds humans in the picture, for instance, it will evaluate whether or not those people are backlit by a vital source of light, such as the sun, or whether or not the sky is blue. If the illumination is poor, it determines whether or not the camera is mounted on a tripod (something it can presumably deduce from its image-stabilization motion sensors). The symbol representing humans, which may or may not include the sun or moon, will appear in one of three colors based on the circumstances detected by the camera.
Both distant and nearby subjects, such as landscapes (which may contain a fourth color), should be treated similarly.
In Smart Auto mode, the camera takes all the decisions about exposure for you (including turning off EV Compensation, ISO, and White Balance, among other settings). Still, there are a few that you may customize. These include the Flash (just Auto or Off), the Self-Timer options, and the Image Size.
The program is still considered an automated mode (you can't directly adjust the shutter speed or aperture, but you can modify the ISO), even though it gives you control over most exposure decisions. On the four-way navigator, the EV Compensation option, the Focus mode option, and the full Flash option are all turned on. In addition, the menu has options for ISO, White Balance, My Colors, Metering, Release Mode, and Image Size that are accessed by pressing the Func./Set button.
In addition, the Canon SD1300 IS's Scene modes may be accessed through the Program mode. These modes are referred to as Portrait, Night Snapshot, Indoor, Kids & Pets, and Underwater.
In movie mode, you may record videos at resolutions of 640 by 480 at 30 frames per second or 320 by 240 at 30 fps for up to an hour for each clip or 4 gigabytes total. You can use a quiet digital zoom, and the sound will still be captured. Memory cards with an SD Speed Class 4 rating or above are suggested.
Once you become familiar with how the game is played, the Canon controls and menu system are simple (which seems to change a little on each model). First, press the Function button after selecting a Record mode to view the available shooting modes and settings. Then, use the Menu button to access the available camera settings options anytime.
Storage & Battery
The Canon SD1300 supports the following SD card types SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, MMC Plus Card, and HC MMC Plus Card. When capturing Video, it is advised to use SDHC and SDXC cards with a Class 4 or higher rating.
There are around 1,231 high-resolution photos that may be stored on a card that is 4 gigabytes in capacity (a 3,084K file size). A 4GB memory card can hold 32 minutes and 26 seconds of Video at the highest quality level.
Filmagem
The Canon SD1300 was the first one I used, and the first thing I did with it was reset it to its original settings. After that, I went ahead and turned i-Contrast on. I'm not sure why this function is turned off by default on Canon cameras. One of the most common issues with compact cameras is blown highlights, and i-Contrast is designed to avoid precisely that problem. It prevents clipping in either the shadows or the highlights, and it bumps up the contrast on flat photos when it's required to do so. In addition, it performs what was said above. Therefore, turning it on is a brilliant idea.
The gallery photo of the light bulb was one of the first shots I took as part of my "get acquainted" series. In the LCD preview, the light bulb was only visible as a shadow due to the afternoon light coming in through the window; however, the scene was completely different when the flash was turned on.
Even though the white subject was just about a foot away from the camera when the photograph was taken, I was immediately struck by the fact that the flash did not thoroughly wash out the image. It is not difficult to differentiate between the whites produced by the porcelain fixture and the glass bulb.
And to make sure I covered all of my bases, I snapped a picture of the empty garage to test how far the light would go when I used a wide-angle lens, and it lighted the area up without any issues.
That's quite a decent flash performance for such a small camera. Although I don't typically test flash, I feel it will play a significant role in the average use. It is, without a doubt, up to the challenge. Note that while shooting in full auto mode with a telephoto lens, the flash's range is restricted to around six feet at ISO 500, which is not unusual.
The macro photography was the second shooting mode I experimented with using the Canon SD1300. One of the many benefits of digital photography is taking photographs from a very close range. On the other hand, it frequently includes some challenging configurations (like Macro or Super Macro or Digital Macro, which may or may not prevent any focal length setting other than wide-angle).
The Canon SD1300 IS, on the other hand, enables shooting in macro mode as quickly as moving the camera near the subject while in Smart Auto mode. Moreover, if you have an issue with the focal length of your shot (often because you have zoomed in too far), the LCD will notify you. In this case, you may zoom out and bring the camera closer.
If you don't want to shoot in Program mode, you may still take macro photos by pressing the Left arrow to choose Macron as the focus mode instead. In the gallery, several pictures of a Kodak camera and instances of a carpenter's pencil demonstrate how depth of focus may be achieved with a wide-open lens. The carpenter's pencil, which has an aperture of f/2.9 and an ISO of 75, is an excellent example of how narrow the depth of field can be (and it's still fairly nice), but it wouldn't be challenging to shoot at a higher ISO to achieve greater depth of field. There is enough space.
Red Flowers typically provide a challenge for small digital cameras since these cameras tend to oversaturate the red channel. I snapped a picture of some red ground cover that maintained a considerable amount of its red color. I was convinced that the fluorescing crimson petals would blind me, but the Canon SD1300 handled the situation exceptionally well. I was wrong.
This resulted in a macro photograph of some white ground cover (which was not blown out), as well as some poppies, which are also in the red spectrum.
The optical image stabilization, high ISO, and noise suppression of the Canon SD1300 are the three features that Canon highlights when describing the camera's low-light performance. However, because the menu system of the Canon SD1300 IS needs you to click the Display button to access it, I was initially unaware that the camera featured a Low Light Scene mode.
So, what happened with the dolls tucked away in the shadows?
The doll sequence begins with Smart Auto, which does not use the flash, then moves on to Program Auto, followed by Program at ISO 800 and ISO 1,600, and ends with Low Light. Surprisingly, Smart Auto and Program Auto set the aperture to f/5.5 and the ISO to 800, but they utilized quite different shutter speeds (1/8 and 1/4 second, respectively). This is because the exposure was handled more effectively by Program Auto when set to 1/4. Even though image stabilization could not avoid blur caused by camera shake. The ISO 800 photo provides more evidence of this, while the ISO 1,600 shot, taken with a shutter speed of 1/8 second, produces the most precise image of the sequence.
According to the information in the Exif header, the picture size for the Low Light photo was significantly reduced (it was only 1,200 by 1,600 pixels), and the shutter speed was set to 1/16 of a second. The ISO setting was 4,726. There are also more believable values saved there, such as an AutoISO of 800 and a BaseISO of 591. Both of these values may be found in the storage area. Despite this, the color and detail are still lacking.
Therefore, the low-light performance of the Canon SD1300 was not particularly spectacular; nevertheless, if you want better results, you will need to pay more.
When I went to the de Young Museum with my Canon SD1300 IS, I was framing shots much beyond the telephoto focal length of the 4x optical zoom and into the 4x digital zoom range. So I had to use digital zoom even when I was merely shooting across the street or a reflecting pool.
However, the digital zoom photographs have maintained a decent quality. They are not nearly as crisp, that is true, but the color is proper, and they do have enough detail to create good prints. An excellent illustration of this is the bronze hunter. Without 2.5 times digital zoom, I would not have been able to make that composition, yet even the weeds seem nice.
Histogram. During playback, one of the various available display options.
If your camera has a sensor of 12.1 megapixels, then the full-resolution image you see on your monitor may not be accurate. Examining the image at one-half its standard size is the best way to evaluate the level of sharpness. While visiting the picture on your computer's full quality, move your chair back to be twice as far away from the screen.
I had difficulty bringing out the details of the dark bronze sculpture Gustave Doré had created with all of the little figures. When the camera was turned to face north, a clear blue sky could be seen. However, when I looked in that direction, the sky was white. Even with i-Contrast turned on, I was apprehensive that the shadows might become muddled due to the subject matter, which is gloomy. Because I was aware that the LCD would not be able to provide an accurate representation of the capture, I relied on the histogram that was presented either in the Review mode or the Playback mode.
Detail. Playback mode is only another of the many display options available.
I discovered that the EV Compensation feature of the Canon SD1300 did not allow me to improve the situation significantly. My best option was to adjust the proportion of the frame taken up by either the vase or the sky, lock the exposure by pressing the shutter button halfway down, and then recompose the shot. This produced the results you can see, which, compared to the original image, are somewhat overexposed yet manage to preserve the black detail.
Lens Quality
The corners of the image captured by the Canon PowerShot SD1300's wide-angle end of the zoom are a little bit soft, and this softness goes quite a ways into the frame. However, while using a telephoto, each of the four corners maintains a level of sharpness comparable to that of the image's center.
Distorção da Geometria
A wide-angle lens has minimal barrel distortion (0.3 percent), while a telephoto lens has a minor degree of barrel distortion (0.2 percent). But, again, there is little doubt that the nimble processor within the camera is responsible for this.
Aberração de Cor Cromática
There is a significant amount of chromatic aberration at wide-angle, as seen by brilliant blue-purple pixels. At telephoto, chromatic aberration can still be seen, but the pixels aren't nearly as bright or distracting, and the effect on the whole image is relatively minor.
Even if the corners and edges of the picture are blurry and include a trace degree of chromatic aberration, the Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS's Macro mode can capture crisp details in the middle of the frame. The smallest covering area is just 1.6 by 1.2 inches (41 x 30mm). Because of its location on the camera and the close range, the flash gave highly inconsistent results; thus, you need to rely on external illumination to achieve optimal exposure while using the macro setting closest to you.
Qualidade da imagem
The color is pretty nice, with only a little amount of oversaturation in some reds and blues and just a little bit of lowered saturation in brilliant yellows, but overall, the color is quite good. Accuracy in hue is likewise pretty high, with minor deviations such as cyan leaning toward blue and orange leaning toward yellow (and some yellows toward green). The difference between darker and lighter skin tones is minimal; lighter skin tones have a hint of pink, while darker skin tones have a touch of yellow. I am pleased with these findings.
The Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS handles noise very well at the lower ISO levels, but details get somewhat smudged when you reach ISO 400.
Results at ISOs 800 and 1,600 are slightly better than usual, even though they have a significant amount of luminance noise and visible noise suppression. For further information on how this impacts printed photos, see the section below under "Printed outcomes."
Even though the camera had to boost its ISO to 500 to get the desired results in the testing requested by the manufacturer and displayed on the right, we got clear and brilliant images at the recommended wide-angle distance of 13 feet.
The telephoto test produced vivid results at a distance of 6.6 feet, which is the rated distance for the lens, even though the ISO was adjusted to 500. In light of these findings, the flash that comes with the PowerShot SD1300 IS will be enough in the vast majority of instances, given that you keep your distance to around 9 feet and do not zoom in more than halfway.
Incandescente
The Manual white balance setting offered the most significant overall results in this instance, even though the Auto mode did not do too poorly (just a reddish). On the other hand, incandescent lighting generated a deep red hue.
Shutter lag
The delay in the shutter while using full autofocus is acceptable, clocking in around 0.53 seconds at wide-angle and 0.58 seconds at maximum telephoto. The prefocus shutter latency is 0.073 seconds, less than the industry standard, but it is still relatively quick.
A duração de um ciclo
In single-shot mode, the camera has a cycle time that is somewhat longer than the norm, taking a picture once every 2.2 seconds. Although Canon claims that the SD1300's continuous mode can capture 0.9 frames per second, we could not confirm this.
Reciclar Flashes
After a full-power discharge, the flash on the Canon PowerShot SD1300 takes 6.3 seconds to recycle. This is quite a sluggish rate.

Since last year, Canon has added a few more models to its ELPH series of tiny, automated cameras. However, it has developed in two ways that are both satisfying. To begin, it's not as big (and, yes, lighter). Second, taking images is far less complicated than it was in the past.
And Smart Auto takes that ease of use and applies it to a few additional challenging conditions. As a result, the menus and choices have been simplified, and the Scene modes have been reduced to a healthy but limited collection of possibilities.
The Canon SD1300 IS an ELPH camera with 4x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, and a 12.1-megapixel sensor. You can choose the color of the casing that it comes in, and the pricing is highly appealing. It's not only easy but also relatively quick to use.
The only things less than ideal were the lack of an HD preset for video capture, the ability to shoot in low light, and shooting toward the sun. In addition, the contrast in the outside settings was a little too much for some of our subjects, but on the whole, this should be regarded as a positive.
The printed results were excellent, with every ISO setting delivering high quality at typical print size. The print sizes ranged from a stunning 13×19 inches at ISO 80 to a decent 4×6-inch print at ISO 1,600. So again, the printed results were quite good.

Q: Select ALL from many postgres tables We have around 40 tables, all with similar, but not identical fields.  Each table has created_by and created_at fields.
We're trying to query a specific set of tables, and return only the created_at fields from rows created_by = 'john'
So far, we've got
select created_at from results_tables

where <TABLE_NAME> in
(
   select table_name from information_schema.tables
   where <some criteria to limit tables being searched>
)
and created_by = 'john'

The inner query works on its own, and lists the correct tables.
We want the outer query to get created_at from ALL the tables in the inner query.
So from the following tables:
table1
created_by   created_at val
john         12:00      5
sue          13:20      7

table20
created_by   created_at val
john         21:30      3
jane         23:45      21

we'd get:
12:00
21:30

A: You could create a function which will be accessing all your tables:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION some_schema.some_function_name()
returns TABLE(created_by varchar(300), created_at varchar(300))
AS $BODY$
DECLARE
  stmt text;
  BEGIN
    stmt = (
        WITH relevant_tables AS (
           SELECT table_name,
                  CONCAT('SELECT created_by::varchar(300), created_at::varchar(300) FROM ', table_name) as table_query
           FROM information_schema.tables
           WHERE <some criteria to limit tables being searched>
        )
        SELECT string_agg(table_query, ' UNION ALL ') AS final_query
        FROM relevant_tables a
    );
    return query EXECUTE stmt;
  end; $BODY$
language plpgsql
;

I do not know what are your data types so I casted everything to varchar(300).
Having this function, you can then call:
SELECT * FROM some_schema.some_function_name()

You can also add any WHERE you like.

A: do $$
DECLARE
i record;
xcreated_at text;

BEGIN

FOR i in  select table_name from information_schema.tables  LOOP

EXECUTE('select created_at from '||i.table_name||' where created_by = ''John''')INTO xcreated_at;
raise notice 'xcreated_at%',xcreated_at;
END LOOP;
END;

– QUEBEC: There is mass outrage over the directive of allowing positive-case health workers back to work. IMHO: The Health Minister knows the test kits aren't reliable. –
INFECTED HEALTH WORKERS TO CONTINUE WORKING UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS
The news comes as the health minister announced roughly 7,000 health-care workers have been sidelined due to COVID-19. That number is expected to grow to 10,000 "in the next few days," according to the health minister.
To avoid a further disruption in health-care services, some health-care workers are being asked to continue working under certain conditions despite testing positive for the coronavirus or being exposed to a positive case.
On a case-by-case basis, certain workers in hospitals and CHSLDs will be allowed to return to work after a "reduced" isolation period.
The directive says that workers who have been exposed to the virus, but haven't themselves tested positive, will be the first to be recalled from their isolation in case of a critical staff shortage.
But as a "last resort," workers who are themselves positive or just got over a case of COVID-19 and are still meant to be in isolation may also be recalled to work, as long as they are assigned to "hot zones," working with COVID-19 patients.
Quebec's director of public health, Dr. Horacio Arruda, said Tuesday that if a worker "is not in good shape at all," he or she will not be asked to come in. But if the person has "soft" symptoms, they could return to work.

No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 3 Florida State at Atlanta's new stadium, the home of this season's national title game. The top-ranked team in the country has never started a season against a more highly ranked team than No. 3, making Tide-'Noles unprecedented in college football history.
Nick Saban's Crimson Tide has routinely turned these neutral site openers into routs, but Florida State is probably the best team Alabama has opened against. The Seminoles have a potentially nasty defense led by preseason All-Americans Derwin James at safety and Tavarus McFadden at cornerback. Alabama has some reloading to do on defense, but quarterback Jalen Hurts is back after a brilliant freshman season.
Only one Heisman winner has repeated: Ohio State's Archie Griffin in 1975. Jackson hasn't been getting a ton of love this offseason, but he can provide a reminder as to why he won the Heisman last year against a Purdue defense that will be hard-pressed to stop him at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
3 - Georgia Tech has won three straight games against SEC teams, and five of its last six going back to 2015. The Yellow Jackets open Monday night against No. 25 Tennessee at the Mercedes-Benz Dome in Atlanta.
10 - No. 7 Oklahoma has the longest current winning streak in the country. The Sooners should not have much trouble making it 11 against UTEP, but a trip to No. 2 Ohio State lies ahead.
10 - Fresno State will try to break the longest current losing streak in FBS against Incarnate Word in coach Jeff Tedford's debut.
27 - Florida's winning streak in season openers, the longest current streak of its kind in college football. The No. 17 Gators put that on the line against No. 11 Michigan in Arlington, Texas.
Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin has been rattling off solid seasons for the last four years, but solid might not be enough to solidify his status with athletic director Scott Woodward. Bruins coach Jim Mora's program has never quite reached the promise of his first few seasons, and is coming off an ugly 4-8 record in 2016. The return of quarterback Josh Rosen from injury means much more is expected of UCLA in 2017.

Reply to O'Brien et al.
Across Atlantic ice (AAI) sets out specifically to propose an alternative hypothesis of early human entry into the Americas and to stimulate research (Stanford & Bradley 2012: 16). O'Brien et al.'s response (above) primarily contains an unsupported dismissal of the evidence and these ideas. Unfortunately, to date, no work equivalent to AAI has been presented for any other Clovis origin hypothesis; this would be most welcome, especially from those who critique and reject the Solutrean hypothesis with unsupported assertions.

Blog AFRAA's 8th Stakeholders Convention: Winning Together
AFRAA's 8th Stakeholders Convention: Winning Together
Kayode Oyero June 7, 2019 African Airline News, Features, News, News Updates Leave a Comment
By Kayode Oyero
One major claim in the aviation industry in Africa over the years is that governments, airports, service providers, suppliers, technical support companies flourish while African airlines do not. At its 8th Aviation Stakeholders Convention in Mauritius, the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) expressed hopes "to build lasting win-win business relationships and improve supply chain efficiency and capacity to support the rapidly growing aviation business in Africa."
The 3-day event which was hosted by Air Mauritius with the theme, 'Winning Together', brought together airline operators, policy-makers, airport managers, suppliers, service providers and others to chart a way forward in accelerating the development of the aviation sector in Africa. Significantly, the Convention calls on African governments to reduce taxes, charges and fees imposed on airlines and other key service providers. It also emhasises the need to continue the efforts to ensure that airlines are able to repatriate their earnings.
Hon. Ivan Collendavelloo, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Mauritius, recognizes synergy as a strategy in achieving this much-desired result. "We must work together if we want to win together or we will fail together. We need to act to advance the volumes of goods and people travelling by air within the continent," he states in his opening remarks.
Mr. Abderrahmane Berthé, AFRAA Secretary General, shares the same view with Hon. Collendavelloo. Mr. Berthé stresses: "A successful and viable African aviation industry is achievable, but this requires rigorous efforts as well as close coordination and collaboration by all stakeholders ranging from governments, regulatory authorities, airports, air navigation service providers, suppliers of the wide range of aviation products and services and the customers. Together, we can ensure an integrated, interconnected Africa that is competitive within itself and globally."
Mr. Abderrahmane Berthé, AFRAA Secretary General giving a speech at the event
Mr. Berthé also urges African airlines to operate more aircraft to cope with the growing demand for air travel.
In addition, experts at the event believe that air transport is essential for the social and economic development of any country and the world, therefore, economic strategies should be aligned with aviation strategies for both to win together. African States are implored to put aviation into consideration while formulating economic policies.
Mr. Somas Appavou, Chief Executive Officer of Air Mauritius, enthuses that Africa is a continent of boundless opportunities. "With a population of 1.2 billion, double digit growth rates in many countries and a fast expanding middle-class, our continent has become the new promised land for the development of air travel," he says, adding that aviation is a lifeline for Small Island Developing States (SIDS) such as Mauritius.
African Airlines: Still Overburdened?
Mr. Raphael Kuuchi, IATA's Special Envoy to Africa on Aero-political Affairs, states that the prospects for aviation growth are bright in Africa.
According to him, Africa is a region that is developing fast and expanding its trade links to markets around the world; but to enable aviation to be an even bigger driver of prosperity across the continent, governments and stakeholders must work together.
Mr. Kuuchi states that while the global airline industry average profit per passenger is $7.75, African airlines lose an average of $1.55 per passenger flown. He explains that there are many reasons for the poor performance of African airlines: "Africa is an expensive place for airlines to do business. Jet fuel costs are 35% higher than the rest of the world, aircraft departure fees are 30% above the global average, and taxes and fees are among the highest in the world."
A panel discussion at the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) 8th Aviation Stakeholders Convention in Mauritius, recently
He adds that too many African governments tax aviation as a luxury rather than a necessity. He cites some examples illustrating the burden governments and service providers heap on African airlines: "In Niger Republic, $80 from each ticket is paid to the government in fees, taxes and charges. Cameroon recently added a $37 development tax per passenger and DR Congo charges every arriving passenger $15 to promote tourism."
Also, Mr. Ali Tounsi, Secretary General of Airports Council International (ACI) Africa, states that tax is a consequence of the low Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Africa. "This is for me the main problem. Tax and charges are a consequence of the low economies. When the GDP is low, everything is expensive," he states adding that this unwanted trend must be quickly addressed.
Mr. Chamsou Andjorin, Director, Government Affairs and Market Development of Boeing International, Sub-Sahara Africa, states that airlines are at the end of the value chain. "Almost all key aviation stakeholders are making money except airlines. We need to see how we can work together." He submits.
However, Mr Kuuchi believes that African airlines can rise to make substantial gains if harmonised policies and regulations are in place, in addition to capital investments in infrastructure, skills and talent development.
Furthermore, Mr. Sanjeev Gadhia, Chief Executive Officer – Astral Aviation, opines that the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) brings collective gains to all industry stakeholders and therefore calls on all stakeholders to start working together to actualize its objectives. He emphasizes that "Governments need to work closely with airlines and other aviation stakeholders to formulate, promote or implement policies that support air transport growth."
The 2019 edition of the AFRAA Aviation Stakeholders Convention was a platform for robust discourse by aviation leaders. The event featured master classes where cutting edge ideas, technologies, industry best practices, new opportunities and practical solutions were presented and discussed.

The NFL's stance on the National Anthem is clear: "stand up or shut up." So I'm giving up.
There are 32 teams in the National Football League. Each of those teams has one owner.
Each professional football team can have 53 men on roster (with an additional ten on their respective "practice squads"), making for a total of 1,696 football players in the league.
A vast majority of players in the National Football League are Black. But the owners of all 32 teams identify as white men.
Two years ago, then-San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick, his position on the roster having been relegated to backup quarterback, decided to make something of his time on the bench. He began taking a knee while the National Anthem was being played before the start of 49ers games; and, in the process, he took a stand.
On September 1st, 2016, the final preseason game for the 49ers, against the San Diego Chargers, Kaepernick would take his now-infamous knee while the National Anthem was played.
To some, Kaepernick's motives may have appeared disingenuous. At the time, he was all but clinging to a roster spot as the 49ers' backup quarterback. Depending on who you ask, his performance had dwindled, and he was no longer the ambitious, focused QB who led the Niners to a Super Bowl before eventually losing to the Baltimore Ravens. It could've been a publicity stunt, a grab at attention and perhaps even controversy to give his supposedly fading star new life.
Except Kaepernick had a point. In an election year with a new President slated to be elected to office mere months later, and with a Black death seemingly happening every other month, Colin Kaepernick had a point.
The very month Kaepernick began his silent protest, at the start of August 2016, Korryn Gaines was shot and killed by police who raided her apartment in Baltimore. A month earlier, in July, Philando Castile was shot by a police officer in Minnesota who mistook Castile's attempting to remove his gun from his driving compartment as a threat. As Officer Anthony Yanez held him at gunpoint, Castile bled out in the passenger seat; his girlfriend at the time recorded the entire thing in the driver's seat with her cell phone (and her own daughter in the backseat, as well). The month before that, in May 2016, Alton Sterling was taken into policy custody in Baton Rouge, and while he was being restrained on the ground by police, Sterling was fatally shot. This, too, was caught on camera.
The summer before, in July 2015 – almost three years ago, the time has gone by so fast – Sandra Bland was violently taken into police custody during a routine traffic stop in Prairie View, Texas. Three days later, the officers who failed to keep watch on her discovered that Bland had committed suicide in her jail cell. The month before that, in June, Dylann Roof shot 10 parishioners at a bible study in one of the nation's oldest Black churches, killing nine of them. Two months before that, in April 2015, Freddie Gray was violently accosted and taken into custody by members of the Baltimore Police Department. Gray's injuries were so great that he had to be transported in police van, and during that transportation, Gray mysteriously fell into a coma and died shortly after.
There were other names. There were other faces. There have been other names since.
The common thread between them all? Someone Black was killed, often by someone non-Black – and if they were police officers, they did indeed "get paid leave" and no further consequences. Many weren't charged. Those who went to trial, were often acquitted. The question of whether or not "Black lives mattered" was becoming more and more important, and people of color wanted some kind of a reprieve, some kind of answers… some kind of justice. Settlements might assuage a city's guilt; they couldn't replace the absence of a mother, a brother, a father, a spouse, a son, or a daughter.
Kaepernick's stand while sitting earned him both support and spite. Other Black players would take on Kaepernick's mantle as their own, choosing to kneel during the Anthem themselves. Players who chose not to kneel, would opt to respect their teammates by placing a supportive hand on their shoulders, for example, or a raising a fist in the air. Some argued that kneeling during the National Anthem was a sign of disrespect, a slap in the face to the so-called Land of The Free and Home of the Brave. It was offensive to our troops, many argued, to those gave their lives for this country, that players couldn't stand during The Star-Spangled Banner and proudly, lovingly gaze at the American flag as it soared over the stadium (Many armed servicewomen and men, however, would show their support of Kaepernick's stand, especially on social media by way of the hashtag, "#IStandWithKap").
In a United States that prided itself on the free expression of ideas and opinions (especially compared to nations the world over where dissent could sometimes mean death), the country's premier sports organization was unsure how to approach this expression of discontent from some of its players – possibly because its leadership was so far removed from the issue. It was never a question of patriotism. How could protest possibly be unpatriotic in a country that was literally founded based ON protest? Was a flag, a mere symbol, really that much more important than the loss of human life?
Two years later, it appears we have our answer.
The league's stance was clear – protest during the entertainment was not permitted. It was a distraction, and it was time to "keep focus on the game." In September 2017, two months before he would be elected President of the United States, Donald Trump accused "certain players" of showing "total disrespect… to our country" and demanded the league to "Tell them to stand!" It appears the NFL heard Mr. Trump loud and clear.
32 NFL teams. 32 white team owners. 32 votes on an issue that primarily affected and impacts people of color, with no people of color in the room to contribute to the conversation.
News reports have indicated that at least some voices were dissenting: 49ers owner Jed York abstained from voting, according to The New York Times, and New York Jets chairman Christopher Johnson went on record as saying the organization would not reprimand their players. "If the team gets fined, that's just something I'll have to bear," Johnson stated. But that's only 2 voices who spoke up… leaving 30 other guilty parties.
The NFL Players' Association, rightfully, has disagreed with the League's new rule. But the NFL truly seems to believe that this is the solution to its low ratings over the past two seasons, and an ideal compromise for this "divisive" issue in the league.
What the NFL has actually done, is stifled the conversation – ironically, in much the same way the league opted to stifle Kaepernick's playing career (the quarterback remains unemployed two years later, even as a number of teams have said he'd be a welcome addition… without actually adding him to their roster). Telling players and personnel to stay in the locker room if they don't agree with the Anthem is nothing more than "out of sight, out of mind." If viewers don't see it, they don't think about it. Never mind that Black players in professional sports are reminded often that their position as well-regarded athletes, doesn't always translate to them being equally respected members of society.
It FEELS like the owners are putting the athletes "in their place." They are silencing the athletes in an effort to preserve the spirit of a game that is already marred by domestic violence issues; actual health consequences as a result of on-field performance; a policing of celebration and fun amongst the players; and, honestly, a truly atrocious attempt to make non-college football on a Thursday night appealing. Presented with an opportunity to steer the conversation in a meaningful, productive direction, the NFL owners and Commissioner Goodell chose instead to put a gag order on the players.
In putting the players in their place, the National Football League has also put me in mine. Many others before me were smart enough to stop supporting the organization at an earlier time. But I cannot in good conscience support a league kept alive almost entirely Black talent, that chooses to minimize Black lives in favor of preserving a symbol and a song (for what it's worth, the National Anthem's oft-omitted final stanza is pro-slavery). A league that had the audacity to put their priorities in writing for all the world to see: Black lives don't matter, but white dollars do.
I won't be watching the NFL this season. Real Housewives Hive, please make room for the kid.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Lipscomb baseball team dropped the first game in its conference series against FGCU 5-3 under the lights at Swanson Stadium Friday night.
The Bisons (15-13, 3-4 ASUN) got a solid outing from starting pitcher Chris Kachmar, but came up short and saw their four-game win streak come to an end. Over seven innings of work, Kachmar allowed three hits, three earned runs, and three walks and struck out eight batters.
The Purple and Gold were able to jump out and grab the early lead as Maddux Houghton blasted a two-run homer over the wall in left field in the top of the second inning after Chris Bashlor led off with a walk.
The Lipscomb bats were mostly held in check from that point on as they were going up against one of the top pitchers in the ASUN in Mason Studstill. The Bisons only managed to record three hits after Houghton's home run to give them a total of four on the night.
Much like Lipscomb, the Eagles (20-9, 2-2 ASUN) were struggling on the offensive side of the ball. Through four innings FGCU just had one hit against Kachmar. However, that all changed with one swing of the bat.
In the bottom of the fifth, Eric Gonzalez came in to pinch-hit for the Eagles and took Kachmar deep to left field for a three-run homer, which put FGCU on top 3-2.
The Bisons would hang tough and fight back in the very next inning to tie the game back up. After Tevin Symonette walked and Bashlor reached on a throwing the FGCU third baseman, senior Cade Sorrells was able to drive in Symonette on a groundout to third.
The game would remain tied until the bottom of the eighth. Once again, the Eagles were able to take the lead with the long ball as Jay Hayes hit a two-run homer off of Tyler Guilfoil to regain the lead.
With their backs against the wall, the Bisons needed a ninth inning rally and almost got one.
Lipscomb was able to put runners on third and second with Sorrells drawing a walk, Houghton hitting a single and Josh Martinez completing a sacrifice bunt, but couldn't bring them home as Brian Moore struck out and Chaz Bertolani lined out to end the ballgame.
Kachmar's seven innings of work was the longest outing for any Lipscomb pitcher this season.
Houghton has now hit a home run in two straight games.
The Bisons left six runners on base compared to just two by FGCU.
The duration of the game was two hours and 50 minutes.
The Bisons and Eagles will lace them up again for game two of the weekend series. First pitch will be at 1 p.m. CST.
