Stage adaptation of Loaded to be reimagined as an audio play
Malthouse Theatre's world premiere production of Loaded will be reimagined as an immersive four-part digital audio experience, given it can no longer proceed on the stage as planned for Season 2020, due to the current restrictions on live theatre.
Award-winning Melbourne playwright and theatre-maker Dan Giovannoni (Turbine) has teamed up with Christos Tsiolkas (The Slap) to adapt Tsiolkas' 1995 debut novel into an audio experience – rewriting Ari's odyssey from a 21st century perspective.
Directed by Stephen Nicolazzo (Merciless Gods) and featuring Roy Joseph (Five Bedrooms), this queer migrant history follows 19-year-old Ari – a Greek, gay, and unemployed adolescent in 90s Melbourne – as he searches for an escape, of sorts, via sex, drugs, and dance clubs.
In partnership with The Wheeler Centre, Malthouse Theatre will run a companion panel event, Reloading Loaded with author Christos Tsiolkas, writer Dan Giovannoni, director Stephen Nicolazzo, and facilitated by Rebecca Harkins-Cross. The panel members will discuss Melbourne scenes, adaptation hurdles, and why Ari is a character that never gets old.
On the decision to adapt Loaded from the stage to an audio experience, Malthouse Theatre's Artistic Director and Co-CEO, Matthew Lutton said: "It's devastating not being able to experience Loaded live at The Malthouse, but we're fortunate that Loaded is a story that lends itself brilliantly to a sonic experience," he said.
"Ari's 24 hour romp through Melbourne is perfect for a theatrical work designed to transport you through music and words. It has been inspiring to watch the Loaded artists rethinking and reimagining at such pace and with such creativity – and naturally, it's joyous for us as a company to be connecting with audiences again," said Lutton.
With the team located in various states, creative solutions enabled the production to take place in a digital space. Director Stephen Nicolazzo said: "We've been working on Loaded for almost two years, and like my first encounter adapting Christos' robust, brutal and tender material for the stage, it has been a deeply personal and soulful experience," he said.
"Bringing the work into the realm of audio has illuminated the sheer brilliance of his and Dan Giovannoni's adaptation and stretched me as a director in ways I could never imagined. Loaded is a story close to my heart, it runs through my blood and feels like an urgent love song to Melbourne's dark and anarchic soul," said Nicolazzo.
The team behind the visual design includes Eugyeene Teh (Blaque Showgirls) and Katie Sfetkidis (Meme Girls) with sound design and composition produced by Daniel Nixon (Abigail's Party).
Creating the experience as an audio play, Daniel Nixon said: "Christos is a delight, the inherit musicality of his text is a dream to realise. Presenting this work as an audio experience has been a unique and challenging process. We've worked hard to capture the energy of a live performance, while guiding their listener to create Ari's world inside their own imagination," said Nixon.
The Loaded immersive four-part audio experience will be available exclusively to all current ticket holders on Monday 19 October and on sale to the public from Friday 30 October. For more information, visit: www.malthousetheatre.com.au for details. Reloading Loaded will be available to watch from 6.15pm – Tuesday 10 November 2020.

Tasting empowerment
'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
A group of Stellenbosch restaurateurs is taking this phrase to heart by transforming the words into a new initiative that will upgrade skills in the hospitality industry to bring about greater change in the community. This initiative, Tasting Stellenbosch, sees some of the town's most famous names in hospitality take up their metaphorical fishing rods to educate the next generation of chefs and hospitality interns with invaluable skills training.
Stellenbosch Wine Routes' Michael Ratcliffe, chef Bertus Basson and chef George Jardine are facilitating hospitality training to the community.
In its most distilled form, Tasting Stellenbosch is a social development programme which channels activist Martin Luther King Jr in its approach: when you realise that what affects one directly, affects all indirectly, you can leverage interconnectedness to achieve change. Tasting Stellenbosch is interpreting this by opening its kitchens to young and willing disadvantaged people who want to find a career in the hospitality industry.
The hospitality sector is a vital contributor to South Africa's economic growth, but historically skills transfer and knowledge sharing in this sphere happens in a closed loop. Tasting Stellenbosch is now breaking that loop by opening vital skills transfer to a younger generation of disadvantaged learners.
Michael Ratcliffe, the chairperson of Stellenbosch Wine Routes, says social development is the fuel driving the organisation, an energy that he believes penetrates to the very roots. "Meeting this objective requires focused effort from all Stellenbosch's key industries. We know food and wine are leading contributors to the region's tourism and economy, but the benefits should not be distributed only horizontally. Our aim is for grassroot communities to benefit and grow."
It's a noble thought, but how does it look in action?
"We consulted with the culinary community in Stellenbosch and they agreed that this objective should be honoured," explains Michael. "A group of Stellenbosch restaurateurs adopted a socially
responsible code of conduct which stipulates a commitment to build, promote and safeguard the premium positioning of Stellenbosch for future generations."
Tasting Stellenbosch's board of executives includes chefs, owners, sommeliers and winemakers at some of the town's most renowned restaurants. Chef George Jardine from Jardine Restaurant and Jordan Restaurant is the chairman, while chef Bertus Basson from Overture, Eike, Spek & Bone and De Vrije Burger is the deputy chairman. Other members of the board are winemaker George Dalla Cia of Dalla Cia Wine & Spirit Company; chef Gregory Czarnecki from The Restaurant at Waterkloof; chef Michael Broughton from Terroir Restaurant; Karine van der Merwe, the owner of Majeka House and Makaron Restaurant; and chef Christophe Dehosse from The Vine Bistro at Glenelly and Joostenberg Bistro.
Indeed, the collective knowledge of these hospitality luminaries is astounding and it's little wonder Stellenbosch features regularly as a top culinary destination in the annual Eat Out awards.
As leader of the initiative, George Jardine is sensitive to the responsibility that accompanies such a wealth of experience. For him, the knowledge which the various chefs have accrued is a commodity that needs to be ploughed back into society. "The Stellenbosch community is our community, they're our neighbours," he says. "We all work together in some way to represent Stellenbosch and make it a world-class destination. As professionals who have trained and developed our skills throughout the world, we have the insight and knowledge to assist and offer local institutions our skills and insight at a grassroots level."
Bertus Basson agrees that the strength of the Stellenbosch community is key to Tasting Stellenbosch's success. "Cooking is deeply rooted in community. It's where we draw inspiration, where we find employees and also where a lot of our guests and suppliers come from. It is great to have suppliers and guests arriving with produce they have too much of or think we will find interesting. Or have the farmer down the road call us because he has 'chicken of the woods' mushrooms we can use."
For Bertus, Tasting Stellenbosch is an opportunity to "create a platform to give underprivileged youngsters a foot in the door at some of the great kitchens we have in the area by creating this mentoring programme for them".
George, who himself has benefited from being mentored, notably by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, understands the value and 'excellence' this new organisation can unlock.
For the new generation of hospitality trainees entering the market, this is a massive opportunity to be mentored by an exceptional group of culinary leaders.
Tasting Stellenbosch will encourage practical training through building skills, with chefs offering a broad understanding of the hospitality industry and education. In principle, this will require chefs to put in additional hours to provide leadership training to the students they are mentoring. As time is money, we have to ask: doesn't the hospitality industry have enough pressure on it in view of the recent water crisis and current electricity disruptions?
Michael says, if anything, this will contribute to restaurants' success. "Sustainable tourism is essential for being economically viable. This initiative will focus on the upliftment of the community through job creation, which is an investment in the whole of Stellenbosch."
Bertus agrees. "The short-term outcome will be the empowerment and employment of young people. Long-term success will be measured by the development of sustainable businesses around South African food."
And in that is the crux. Going back to Martin Luther King Jr, he said, "I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be." In other words, the positive change that Tasting Stellenbosch brings to this town won't be unilateral.
Tasting Stellenbosch is open to all culinary establishments in Stellenbosch. Individuals who would like to get involved can do so by contacting the Stellenbosch Wine Routes office on 021 886 4310 or tastingstellenbosch@wineroute.co.za.

UK airport passenger numbers drop 75% to 74m in 2020

Airport Operators Association says figures show the devastating impact of Covid-19 restrictions on aviation
Coronavirus – latest updates
See all our coronavirus coverage
The number of passengers travelling through UK airports fell by 223 million last year, an annual decline of 75%, as governments imposed travel bans and restrictions because of the coronavirus pandemic.
About 74 million people passed through UK airports in 2020, less than a quarter of the 297 million recorded in 2019, according to PA Media's analysis of annual Civil Aviation Authority data.
The Airport Operators Association (AOA) said the figures demonstrated the devastating impact of the virus on aviation.
Cardiff airport suffered the largest drop in passenger numbers at 86.7%, followed by Glasgow Prestwick at 85.8% and Exeter at 85.5%.
The figure for Southampton fell by 83.4%, London City by 82.3% and Leeds Bradford by 81.2%.
Heathrow, the UK's largest airport, recorded a 72.7% decline from 80.9 million passengers in 2019 to 22.1 million last year. The figures include all passengers who travelled through British airports excluding the Channel Islands or Isle of Man.
Demand for air travel collapsed in March 2020 when the UK went into its first national lockdown, mirroring lockdowns elsewhere and forcing airlines around the world to ground their planes.
Travel began to recover by late summer and into the autumn, but passenger numbers plummeted again in November after many restrictions were reimposed in the UK as it faced a second wave of the virus.
Karen Dee, the AOA's chief executive, said: "These figures lay bare the devastating impact Covid-19 has had on UK airports. With passengers down nearly 90% between April and December 2020, airports' economic output was decimated and significant numbers of jobs were lost."
She said the government's "overly cautious" approach to reopening travel meant this summer would be "as bad, if not worse, than 2020". UK airports will lose at least another £2.6bn in revenues this summer, following a similar loss between April and September 2020, the AOA estimates.
Dee said: "This leaves UK airports trailing behind international competitors in the EU and US, who not only received significantly more financial support from their governments but are also now able to restart travel over the summer.
"To ensure there are viable airports to support the economy and government agendas like global Britain and levelling up, the government now faces the choice of either meaningfully restarting aviation or setting out a comprehensive package of support to compensate airports for the impact of government policy."
Travellers to popular tourist destinations such as Spain, France and Portugal have to go into quarantine and do tests when they return to the UK. Portugal was added to the UK government's green list of countries that do not require quarantine upon return on 17 May, but was moved back to the amber list three weeks later, causing anger and frustration among travellers, some of whom said they had lost hundreds of pounds as a result.
France announced last week it would allow fully vaccinated travellers from the UK to enter the country with a negative Covid-19 test, without requiring the seven-day quarantine that still applies to unvaccinated visitors from Britain.

There has been much written about the rather minor improvement in breast cancer outcomes with Avastin (bevacizumab). My last post pointed out one theoretical problem with use of this drug in cancer.
The addition of bevacizumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy significantly increased the rate of pathological complete response among patients with HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer. Efficacy was restricted primarily to patients with triple-negative tumors, in whom the pathological complete response is considered to be a reliable predictor of long-term outcome.
We don't know at this time whether the improved CR rate in these patients will translate into improved survival and hopefully cures.
Medicynical Note: What we can determine however is the cost of the intervention. Consider the 663 patients that were triple negative. I assume that about half (I don't have full access to the article), let's say 330 patients received bevacizumab. Then lets take the 39.3% complete response rate,11.6% more than those not receiving the drug, and do a rough estimate of cost.
39.3% of 330 is 129.69 patients achieved complete remission. 11.6% or 38.38 patients was the incremental benefit. Assuming a cost in the range of $50,000 for a 3-5 month course of treatment, the total cost of treating these 330 patients with the best outcome in the study would be (paying market prices for the drug) in the range of 16 and a half million dollars. Dividing that by the incremental benefit of 38.38 the cost of the benefit/patient was $429,911.
Cost is a real problem for a health care non-system that spends 17% of GDP on health care, almost twice that of other countries. Can we afford an intervention that costs over $400,000/patient who benefits?
I have no particular bias against Avastin (bevacizumab) except for the fact that it (and other similar drugs) appears to have very limited efficacy and is so expensive. If it were a drug costing $5000-10,000 for a course of treatment I'd say give it a try. At the present cost and level of efficacy it's hard to find a strong argument for it's use, except that it must make the manufacturers and their stockholder a great deal of profit.

"For thousands of years Ayurveda has been a safe and trusted approach to healing. Now during the Covid-19 pandemic, our clinical trials are studying its potential to treat inflammation, fevers and respiratory viruses," said Saran Saund, CBO of Mateon. "We believe that with Windlas Biotech's partnership, this new therapy will be a potential game-changer not only for India, but for other countries who don't have the medical infrastructure in place to treat Covid-19."
"As we enter the colder months in India, there is perhaps no other country that needs medical assistance with Covid-19 treatments more than India. India has lost 140,000 citizens and 9.5 million people have been infected, second only to the U.S.," said CEO Vuong Trieu, Ph.D., Mateon Therapeutics. "Our studies are proving that inhibiting TGF-B is an effective treatment against many of the coronaviruses, including Covid-19. We are excited to bring safe and cost-effective treatments to those suffering."
Presenters include:

ARTIVeda ™- an Ethnobiology Drug
Mateon is pursuing several avenues with respect to the development and commercialization of ARTIVeda™ in the treatment of COVID-19. ARTIVeda™ is Ayurveda - Dvipaantara Damanaka - and is labeled as a capsule containing Artemisia Powder 500mg. It is a demonstration of how Ethnobiology can be used to drive drug development against emerging pandemics.
The classical pharmaceutical regulatory pathways have failed to provide fast-track to treatment. Government resources have concentrated on a few candidates most of which have failed. The Ayurvedic medicine route is proving to be an accelerated pathway to deploy a well-known, abundantly available and cost effective Ayurvedic medicine that is safe and being proven in-vitro and large-scale clinical trial to be effective.
ARTIVeda ™ - Commercialization in India
Mateon announced that ARTIVeda™ has been approved for manufacture and marketing by the Ministry of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) in India for the treatment of various symptoms including fever and inflammation, which can be associated with COVID-19. ARTIVeda™ is in co-development with Windlas Biotech Pvt. Ltd., Mateon's commercial partner for India and is designed to be a readily available and cost-effective agent to combat COVID-19. Mateon expects sales of ARTIVeda™ will commence in India by year end.
ARTI-19 Multi-national Phase IV Trial, Currently in India
Mateon announced the enrollment of its first patient in a Phase IV study ARTI-19, "A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-center, Open label, Interventional Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Artemisinin 500 mg capsule in Treatment of Adult Subjects with COVID-19". This trial will compare the efficacy of oral doses with standard-of-care (SOC) versus SOC alone. This is a global study with India to contribute at least 300 patients to the total aggregate of 3000 patients.
About Mateon Therapeutics
Mateon was created by the recent reverse merger with Oncotelic, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Mateon, thereby creating an immuno-oncology company dedicated to the development of first in class RNA therapeutics as well as small molecule drugs against cancer and infectious diseases. OT-101, the lead immuno-oncology drug candidate of Mateon/Oncotelic, is a first-in-class anti-TGF-βRNA therapeutic that exhibited single agent activity in some relapsed/refractory cancer patients in clinical trial settings. OT-101 also has activity against SARS-CoV-2. Mateon/Oncotelic is seeking to leverage its deep expertise in oncology drug development to improve treatment outcomes and survival of cancer patients with a special emphasis on rare pediatric cancers.

Psychiatric conditions may alter the brain, increase risk of Alzheimer's
By Jessica Drouet
Shanna L. Burke , assistant professor at the Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work, has been awarded nearly $95,000 from The Florida Department of Health to study the effects of depression, anxiety and sleep disturbance on brain structure leading to Alzheimer's disease. The funds will come from the Ed and Ethel Moore Alzheimer's Disease Research Program and are part of a $4.8 million project across Florida to help fight Alzheimer's disease.
Burke previously conducted studies that investigated if depression, anxiety and/or sleep disturbance increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
"Our results indicated that there is a relationship between having symptoms of these psychiatric conditions among people without any cognitive impairment and a higher risk of an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis later in life," said Burke.
Psychiatric conditions may increase the risk for Alzheimer's disease, and changes in brain structures may be an indicator of these changes. The link between psychiatric conditions and Alzheimer's disease and other dementias remains under study.
"We are excited to pursue this investigation using data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center, which is collected at more than 30 Alzheimer's Disease Centers across the United States."
Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible neurodegenerative condition that progressively results in impairments in functional abilities and extensive memory loss. The disease is of great public significance as there are no cures nor any therapeutic approaches that can arrest the progression of the disease. According to the State of Florida's Department of Elder Affairs, there are an estimated 520,000 individuals living with Alzheimer's disease in the state. Nationwide, an estimated one in three individuals will develop Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. Forecasts show that by 2050, it will cost the United States an estimated $1.1 trillion per year to care for patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Structural changes in the brain may begin up to 20 years before any symptoms of memory loss or functional impairment are noticeable, which means it is essential to understand how common psychiatric conditions, prevalent among mid-life adults, influence brain structures so early in the disease process.
An estimated 31 percent of adults will be diagnosed with anxiety during their lifetime while major depressive disorder is estimated to have a 14 percent lifetime prevalence.
In 2015, 16 percent of Floridians reported they had been "told that they had a depressive disorder" – higher than national estimates. Moreover, sleep disturbance is a symptom of both mood and anxiety disorders but can also occur independently. Florida residents fared no better: 34.8 percent of adults did not get adequate sleep.
"Understanding the impact of psychiatric conditions on brain structure and volume, and how these changes impact Alzheimer's disease risk and development will provide the push for researchers and clinicians to begin thinking about psychiatric conditions as modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. This is important because previous studies have found that adults who are asymptomatic may already exhibit pathophysiological features of Alzheimer's disease, including changes to brain structures, up to 20 years before observable symptoms appear."
There is an urgency to understand the full extent of regional brain changes resulting from psychiatric conditions, which may have their onset prior to age 65 but their consequence past the age of 65, and contribute consequently to Alzheimer's disease development. According to the Pew Research Center, Florida has the highest percentage of older adults (19.1%) compared to other US States, and this is reflected in 53 of 67 Florida counties. This project has the potential to affect a large share of the current aging population in Florida, in addition to the State's constantly growing older adult population.
Early identification and intervention of modifiable risk factors has the potential to reduce human suffering and costs associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Back To Artists
Wallace Wilson a.k.a. Red Rat was born January 17th in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica into a musically inclined family. It didn't take Red Rat very long to fall in love with the craft of music and become one with the stage. It was at the early age of four that he began singing for tourists at the hotels where his mother worked as a seamstress. He loved to entertain people and soon realized exactly what he wanted to be when he grew up. Red Rat began performing on the local school circuit which caught the attention of Danny Browne, the producer/ musician CEO of Main Street Records. Impressed by the young performer's musical abilities and charisma, Browne did not hesitate to sign Red Rat at the tender age of 16 and mentored the artiste allowing him to nurture his talent and gain valuable experience alongside Main Street artists such as Degree, Buccaneer, Lady G and Papa San.
Two years later, in 1996 he emerged on the International stage as one of Jamaica's most versatile, innovative and exciting performers when he heeded the words of the then label mate, Degree, who made the point-blank observation by saying, your complexion is "red" and you look like a "rat" and it was just that quickly that the artist known as Red Rat, was born. After graduating with his diploma from high school, Red Rat under the watchful eye of Browne, moved full steam ahead. He began releasing a string of hit singles including "Shelly-Ann" and "Dwayne", which catapulted him to the top of Reggae Charts worldwide.

The Last Man is an early post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, which was first published in 1826. The book tells of a future world that has been ravaged by a plague. The Last Man was written in the period following her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley's death. The book reflects on his death and is partially, but not strictly, a roman à clef.
The novel has always been overshadowed by Frankenstein and as a result has been largely ignored by the reading public. This is a loss as it is in many ways as great a work as its illustrious and much filmed and parodied predecessor. "The Last Man" was written in the period following her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley's death. Central to the book's philosophical approach is a rejection of the romanticism of Lord Byron, whom she knew well, and her late husband. It blends astute political observation, a complex tale of doomed love and obvious portraits of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron into its subtle, melancholy mix. It is beautifully written and rewards both initial reading and, even more, re-reading.
Set in the year 2097, it was influential on the development of English science fiction, particularly on H.G. Wells (see The Time Machine, The Island of Dr Moreau, and The Invisible Man), Olaf Stapledon and, less obviously, Arthur C. Clarke, particularly Childhood's End.
Mary Shelley states in the introduction that in 1818 she discovered, in the Sibyl's cave near Naples, a collection of prophetic writings painted on leaves by the Cumaean Sibyl. She has edited these writings into the current narrative, the first-person narrative of a man living at the end of the 21st century.
Lionel's father was a friend of the king before he was cast away because of his gambling. Lionel's father left to take his life, but before he did so he left a letter for the king to take care of his family after his death. After Lionel's father died the letter was never delivered. Lionel and his sister grow up with no parental influence, and as a result grow to be uncivilized. Lionel develops a hatred of the royal family, and Perdita grows to enjoy her isolation from society. When the king leaves the throne, the monarchy come to an end and a republic is created. When the king dies the Countess attempts to raise their son, Adrian, to reclaim the throne, but Adrian opposes his mother and refuses to take the throne. Adrian moves to Cumberland where Lionel, who bears a grudge against Adrian and his family for the neglect of the Verney family, intends to terrorise and confront Adrian. He is mollified by Adrian's good nature and his explanation that he only recently discovered the letter. Lionel and Adrian become close friends, and Lionel becomes civilized and philosophical under Adrian's influence.
Lionel returns to England to face the personal turmoil amongst his acquaintances. Lord Raymond, who came to renown for his exploits in the war between Greece and Turkey, has returned to England in search of political position, and soon Perdita and Evadne both fall in love with him. On discovering that his beloved, Evadne, is in love with Raymond, Adrian goes into exile, presumably mad. Raymond intends to marry Idris (with whom Lionel is in love) as a first step towards becoming king, with the help of the Countess. However, he ultimately chooses his love for Perdita over his ambition, and the two marry. Under Lionel's care Adrian recovers, although he remains physically weak. On learning of the love between Idris and Lionel, the Countess schemes to drug Idris, bring her to Austria, and force her to make a politically motivated marriage. Idris discovers the plot and flees to Lionel, who marries her soon after. The Countess leaves for Austria, resentful of her children and of Lionel.
Adrian and the others live happily together until Raymond runs for Lord Protector and wins. Perdita soon adjusts to her newfound social position, while Raymond becomes well-beloved as a benevolent administrator. He discovers, however, that Evadne, after the political and financial ruin of her husband (on account of her own political schemes) is living in poverty and obscurity in London, unwilling to plead for assistance. Raymond attempts to support Evadne by employing her artistic skills in secrecy, and later nursing her in illness, but Perdita learns of the relationship and suspects infidelity. Her suspicions arouse Raymond's proud and passionate nature, and the two separate. Raymond resigns his position and leaves to rejoin the war in Greece, accompanied for a time by Adrian. Shortly after the wounded Adrian returns to England, rumors arise that Raymond has been killed. Perdita, loyal in spite of everything, convinces Lionel to bring her and Clara to Greece to find him.
Lionel finds Raymond and brings him back to Greece. Lionel and Raymond then go back to fighting and go to Constantinople. Lionel discovers Evadne, dying of wounds received fighting in the war. Before she dies, Evadne prophesies Raymond's death, a prophecy which confirms Raymond's own suspicions. Raymond's intention to enter Constantinople causes dissension and desertion amongst the army because of reports of the plague. Raymond enters the city alone, and soon dies in a fire. He is taken to Athens for burial.
In 2092, while Lionel and Adrian attempt to return their lives to normality, the plague continues to spread across Europe and the Americas, and reports of a black sun cause panic throughout the world. At first England is thought to be safe, but soon the plague reaches even there. Ryland, recently elected Lord Protector, is unprepared for the plague, and flees northward, later dying alone amidst a stockpile of provisions. Adrian takes command and is largely effective at maintaining order and humanity in England, although the plague rages on summer after summer. Ships arrive in Ireland carrying survivors from America, who lawlessly plunder Ireland and Scotland before invading England. Adrian raises a military force against them, but ultimately is able to resolve the situation peacefully.
The few remaining survivors decide to abandon England in search of an easier climate. On the eve of their departure to Dover, Lionel receives a letter from Lucy Martin, who was unable to join the exiles because of her mother's illness. Lionel and Idris travel through a snowstorm to assist Lucy, but Idris, weak from years of stress and maternal fears, dies along the way. Lionel and the Countess, who had shunned Idris and her family out of resentment towards Lionel, are reconciled at Idris' tomb. Lionel recovers Lucy (whose mother has died), and the party reaches Dover en route to France.
In France, Adrian discovers that the earlier emigrants have divided into factions, amongst them a fanatical religious sect led by a false messiah who claims that his followers will be saved from disease. Adrian unites most of the factions, but this latter group declares violent opposition to Adrian. Lionel sneaks into Paris, where the cult has settled, to try to rescue Juliet. She refuses to leave because the imposter has her baby, but she helps Lionel to escape. Later, when Juliet's baby sickens, Juliet discovers that the imposter has been hiding the effects of the plague from his followers. She is killed warning the other followers, after which the imposter commits suicide, and his followers return to the main body of exiles at Versailles.
The exiles travel towards Switzerland, hoping to spend the summer in a colder climate less favorable to the plague. By the time they reach Switzerland, however, all but four (Lionel, Adrian, Clara, and Evelyn) have died. The four spend a few relatively happy seasons at Switzerland, Milan, and Como before Evelyn dies of typhus. The survivors attempt to sail across the Adriatic Sea to Greece, but a sudden storm drowns Clara and Adrian. Lionel, the last man, swims to shore. The story ends in the year 2100.

To approve as a correct record the minutes of the meeting held on 11 February 2020.
RESOLVED – That the minutes of the meeting held on 11 February 2020 be approved as a correct record.
UPDATE ON CORONAVIRUS (COVID19) PANDEMIC – RESPONSE AND RECOVERY
PLAN PDF 245 KB
Item 7 - Executive Board report _Coronavirus Update Cover Report & Annexes A-E 190520 , item 7. PDF 3 MB
The Executive Board (19 May 2020) report titled 'Update on Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic – Response and Recovery Plan' was appended for the Board's attention and consideration.
- Helen Lewis, Interim Director of Operational Delivery, Leeds Clinical Commission Group
- Julian Hartley, Chief Executive, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
- Sara Munro, Chief Executive, Leeds and York Partnership Foundation NHS Trust
The Executive Member for Health, Wellbeing and Adults introduced the report, and in doing so expressed her thanks to all health partners and their ongoing work throughout the pandemic, and also to residents of Leeds, recognising the difficulties and pressures placed upon families during this time. The Executive Member also noted that the position had evolved since the report submitted to the 19th May 2020 Executive Board meeting, and specifically, that there are now no cases of Coronavirus in care homes in Leeds.
· Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Members asked for an update on the accessibility to PPE stock in Leeds, particularly in care homes across the city, and were assured that a number of clear pathways to obtain PPE have been established to ensure that organisations are able to maintain sufficient stock levels, which is overseen by a city-wide group lead by the Director of Adults and Health.
· Mental health services. In response to a query around the impact of Covid-19 on mental health services in the city, Members were advised that there was an initial decline in mental health referrals at the beginning of the UK lockdown, however the demand is now returning to 'pre-Covid' levels. Members were advised that there had been cases of Covid-19 across all LYPFT settings, including psychiatric intensive care, which had created some challenges around behaviour. Members were informed that staff have undergone extensive additional training, and the estate had been reconfigured to protect those at high risk.
· Wellbeing support services for shielded groups. Members sought clarity around the steps taken to support the mental wellbeing of shielded groups living in isolation. Members were advised that targeted support is provided to shielded groups in partnership with the third sector, and there is an ongoing initiative to recruit shielded groups to the volunteer 'buddying' programme, to support others and their local community whilst improving their social and emotional wellbeing. It was also noted that people who are shielding are advised to do so on an individual basis, whilst being mindful of the importance of quality of life for those with terminal conditions.

Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic - Health Inequalities PDF 241 KB
To receive a report from the Head of Democratic Services introducing specific information and analysis of health inequalities associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Item 8 - Appendix 1 - DPH report , item 8. PDF 1 MB
Item 8 - Appendix 2 - PHE review of COVID 19 disparities , item 8. PDF 3 MB
The Head of Democratic Services submitted a report introducing specific information and analysis of health inequalities associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The following documents were appended to the report:
- Analysis of Leeds and national data for COVID-19 cases and mortality, using comparisons of available information
- 'Disparities in the risk and outcomes of COVID-19' report, Public Health England, June 2020
The Executive Member for Health, Wellbeing and Adults introduced the report, highlighting that levels of deprivation are shown to have multiplying effects on poor health outcomes as a result of Covid-19. Additionally, the Executive Member noted that education as child is a key predictor of health, and therefore it is important to recognise that children who have multiple deprivations and have missed out on education during the pandemic, may be more likely to experience worse health in future, further widening the gap of health inequailty.
The Director of Public Health informed Members that a number of national reports foucused on inequality had been recently published, and that teams in Leeds are working closely with author Professor Kevin Fenton to ensure that findings are reflected in the Leeds Local Outbreak Plan.
· Structural racism and discrimination. In response to a query, Members were assured that specific focus on structural racism and discrimination within the health and care sector would be included in future plans for managing Covid-19 locally.
· Digital inequality. Members noted concern around inequalities in access to digital in the current climate, which due to social distancing and shielding, has a greater impact on peoples' access to information and services. Members were assured that work is ongoing to support third sector organisations to provide equipment and improve digital skills of communities.
RESOLVED – That the contents of the report, along with Members comments, be noted.

A Republican state senator from Albuquerque has introduced "right-to-work" legislation that would prohibit private-sector employees from being required to join a union or pay union fees as a condition of employment.
The proposal, which was widely expected after Republicans won control of the state House earlier this year, is intended to make New Mexico more appealing to companies considering relocating their business to the state, said the sponsor, Sen. Sander Rue, R-Albuquerque.
New Mexico currently allows unions to require all employees covered by a contract to either be members – whether they want to or not – or pay union fees.
Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, said this month that he would oppose right-to-work legislation in New Mexico, saying the policy has not yielded the promised economic gains in states that have implemented right-to-work laws. Sanchez did not return calls for comment Monday.
Senate Majority Whip Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, said Democrats would oppose Rue's bill. He cited data compiled by the liberal nonprofit Economic Policy Institute in 2012 that showed right-to-work states on average at higher unemployment rates, lower median wages and fewer benefits for workers.
"This is not an economic detriment, as evidenced by the numbers," Padilla said of current New Mexico law that allows employers and unions to agree to mandate union participation.
However, right-to-work supporters such as the conservative nonprofit Rio Grande Foundation in New Mexico cite data showing right-to-work states average faster job growth, higher per capita income and faster population growth.
Excluding Colorado, all of New Mexico's neighboring states have enacted right-to-work laws.
The proposal would not apply to public employees unions such as local branches of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the American Federation of Teachers.
A small percentage of New Mexico's workforce is affiliated with private-sector unions that would be affected by the law, but Rue said his proposal is focused on the message to employers considering relocating to the state.
Rue said that although he objects to the New Mexico public employees unions' practice of requiring nonmembers to pay the unions "fair share" fees to cover contract negotiation expenses, he opted to exclude the public sector unions to focus on the economic-development potential.
"This isn't about going after the unions for me," he said.
Rue said he had not discussed the proposal with Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, who has voiced support for such legislation.
While Rue's proposed right-to-work bill doesn't affect public sector unions, those unions are the target of a second legislative proposal that would end the state's practice of deducting public union dues or fees from state employees' paychecks on behalf of the union.
The change would force the public employees unions to collect their own dues and fees directly from state workers.
Other states such as Wisconsin that have prohibited union fee withdrawal from state paychecks have seen union membership and voluntary dues payments decline.
Martinez earlier this year said she supported efforts to end the state's practice of withdrawing union fees from state workers.
Rue also said he believes the practice of withdrawing fees and paying them to public employees unions violates a clause of the state constitution that prohibits government from donating to private interests, in this case the service of collecting dues.
Padilla, the Senate Democratic whip, said he is against the proposal.
Carter Bundy, political director for the New Mexico branch of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union, said payroll deductions are common in both the public and private sector.
He said the change is politically motivated to limit public employees' unions in the state.
"I think he (Rue) knows darn well, and the administration knows, that this is a political attack that has nothing to do with the law or helping the economy," Bundy said.

During outbreak, parishes adapt to continue feeding the hungry
Written by Nathan Whalen
Published in Local

Even with restrictions during the coronavirus outbreak, some parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle are finding ways to keep feeding their hungry neighbors, as well as children who are home because of the statewide cancellation of classes.
At The Food Bank @ St Mary's in Seattle's Central District, "social distancing" is evident — the staff has marked out 6-foot sections on the sidewalk to show where clients should stand while waiting, said Bruce Wood, the food bank's executive director.
"As you can imagine, our lines are around the block right now," Wood said, and people are being allowed inside one at a time.
The food bank, located at St. Mary Parish, serves 16,000 to 18,000 people every month, but the numbers are about half right now as people apparently heed the call to stay home, Wood said. The numbers started declining when the schools closed, but the food bank is receiving more emergency requests for food, he added.
The St. Mary's food bank also delivers 200 meals to homebound people each week, Wood said. Drivers, who are wearing gloves, drop off the food and knock on the door before leaving.
"We're completely eliminating face-to-face on our homebound deliveries," Wood said.
The Tri-Parish Food Bank at St. Charles Parish in Burlington, which is open Saturday afternoons, is preparing to operate a drive-through food bank, said co-director Bonnie Baker.
"We are working hard to keep volunteers (many who are elderly) and clients safe," Baker said in an email.
The food bank is a partnership of St. Charles, Sacred Heart Parish in La Conner and Immaculate Conception Parish in Mount Vernon.
"As the grocery store shelves continue to be empty, we anticipate seeing more clients. Last week was higher than usual," Baker said. "We are purchasing many new items that we normally don't have to purchase (brown paper grocery bags, more gloves than usual, more sanitizer than usual)."
People can help by continuing to donate, especially canned meat, chili and fruit; peanut butter in plastic jars; rice; ramen noodles; and large-size diapers.
In Tacoma at St. Leo the Great Parish, volunteers at St. Leo Food Connection are bagging food and setting items outside for families to pick up, rather than having them come inside and shop for items, said director Kevin Glackin-Coley.
On March 17, 270 households with about 700 people picked up food, Glackin-Coley said. In 2019, 130,000 people were served at the Tacoma food bank, with another 16,000 using the mobile food bank in Lakewood's Springbrook neighborhood.
So far this year, the number of people using food banks in Pierce County has jumped, with 10,000 more people seeking assistance in January and 30,000 more in February, Glackin-Coley said.
"This month was a more dramatic increase and it looks like it's going to increase for a number of months to come" as more people are out of work, he said. Cash donations are the best way to help right now, he added.
In Seattle, the Cathedral Kitchen at St. James Cathedral continues operating, but it is offering bag dinners for pickup instead of a sit-down dinner weekdays and breakfast on Sundays, according to Patrick Barredo, the cathedral's social outreach and advocacy director.
"It's a simple meal, but we're still feeding people," Barredo said, noting that 64 people picked up Sunday breakfast on March 15 and 180 people received dinner on March 13.
Volunteers at the Queen Anne Food Bank, operating at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Seattle, have started bagging food for people to pick up and currently aren't asking visitors to verify their home addresses, said Stephen Kreins, operations manager.
The number of volunteers at the food bank has dropped from 40 to about 20, he said. "A lot of our volunteers are between 60 and 80," Kreins said, and many are concerned about limiting contact with others.
With school closed across the state, Food Connection and St. Mary's continue their work supplying hungry students with food on the weekend. St. Mary's, which has provided 300–350 bags a month to local schools, is part of a newly centralized process in collaboration with the Seattle Food Committee.
"We're trying to band together with all the food banks to share the burden," Wood said, noting that St. Mary's will assemble 150 bags for students.
The Food Connection provides 1,125 bags each week for students in 37 schools in the Tacoma and Clover Park school districts, Glackin-Coley said. With schools closed, Food Connection is partnering with the districts to provide weekend food bags for families at self-pickup sites.

The capital of Australia's Northern Territory offers visitors great dining, history, spectacular sunsets and fascinating culture to explore.
Cosmopolitan Darwin is the only tropical city in Australia – and is indeed closer to Bali than Bondi Beach or Byron Bay.
There's plenty to do here – from browsing galleries and exploring museums to sampling cocktails at one of Mitchell Street's vibrant bars. This is one of Australia's fastest growing cities, yet still maintains a relaxed, laidback atmosphere and enticing low-rise landscape. The sunsets here are spectacular and can be enjoyed from a sunset harbour cruise from Stokes Hill Wharf.
This lively city is also the gateway to some of the Northern Territory's most amazing wonders. Birders, walkers and swimmers alike will enjoy a trip to Berry Springs Nature Park, where an array of native plant life and colourful birds can be spotted among dense forest and sparkling pools. The Aboriginal reserve of Arnhem Land is a superb wilderness area full of intriguingly rugged natural beauty, while Kakadu – Australia's largest national park – features ancient art, lush flora and plenty of breathtaking scenery.


I can't believe I almost let November go by without at least mentioning desert broom (Baccahris sarothroides). It is the native plant the folks love to hate, as it comes up in the desert where ever the soil has been disturbed. Drive through any new subdivision that took a desert spot around Tucson and just count the desert broom plants. Not only is it a prolific seed producer, but once established it is very tenacious with its deep tap root. Folks hate it, but the answer is simple: leave the desert alone. Whaa?!
Though we don't have many desert broom right around our little homestead we do have a native plant that drives me crazy too with it's ability to pop up where I don't want it. In habitat Brickellia floribunda or brickell bush is found in the rich soils of canyon bottoms and I suppose I should be flattered that I've created such nice rich soil for it to feel at home in. And of course it loves a good watered nursery mix, so I'm constantly pulling it from plants that I grow in our small nursery.
There are over 24 species of brickell bush in Arizona alone and some of them are quite attractive, but I'm sorry Brickellia floribunda, you drive me crazy. Maybe it's payback for my teasing of my Sonoran Desert friends about desert broom.
A couple notes: in the photo that's a brickell bush growing up beside my 46 chevy and the other photo is of the bristly seed heads. And, by the way, if you lived in Tucson in the 1970's you may have seen me driving that old truck and hauling band equipment up and down Speedway Blvd and 4th Ave. We had some good adventures with it out in the desert as well.

Therapeutic Boarding Schools in Lindenhurst, New York
Is your teenager spinning out of control? Looking for a therapeutic boarding school near Lindenhurst, New York?
There is nothing worse than having your teen spinning out of control, and no worse feeling than the hopelessness parents experience in the process. It is hard to know what to do and how to react when your teen daily reaches new lows in disobedience, dishonesty, and disrespect, and chooses every wrong thing.
We understand, because we went through it with our teenage son. Raised in a Christian home and mostly home-schooled until high school, we suddenly found that we didn't know him. He had changed seemingly overnight. His marks in school started falling and his interest in sports and old friends shifted to a new group of friends — the kind parents are wary of — the kind of kids that got kicked out of a public school, so the local private school took them in.
Unknowingy, our son was already heavy into smoking marijuana, sniffing solvents, drinking alcohol and just about everything else his new peer group dared him to do. The downward spiral was dramatic — all the way down to holes-in-the-walls rages, running away for days at a time, and finally threatening suicide. After months in counseling, the therapist proclaimed that there was nothing more he could do. A local residential program and school was selected.
Putting our son in a therapeutic boarding school was the hardest thing we've ever done as parents. . Worse yet, that program didn't work out, so we were out a lot of money and still had no solution. We learned from this traumatic experience that therapeutic programs can be quite different and need to be selected based on their strengths and avoided if they have serious weaknesses. It's important to know what those strengths and weaknesses are.
Some boarding schools are good, and others are not so good. Some target one set of issues; others are experts on other issues. But when you talk to them, they want to fill their beds, so they'll often present themselves as "experts" in all areas having to do with behavior. But that's not always so. Some kids are just going through a rebellious stage, while others are dealing with very serious issues that may not be known to their parents. So choosing a "behavioral modification" program when a "therapeutic" program is what's needed can be a disaster. It can also be a big waste of money.
The school we finally enrolled him in literally saved his life and got him off the downward spiral.
Let us assist you in finding the best program whether or not it is near Lindenhurst, New York. We've made it our life goal to know all we can about every school, so we can help parents (without cost) find the best possible choice for their troubled teen. We want to help you avoid the same mistake we did.
Now, every day we hear from scores of frustrated parents in areas like Lindenhurst, New York, who share how their once normal and happy child has become seriously out of control — just like our son was. They talk about how it has disrupted their home and how they fear for their child's future and very life. "My child is no longer who she used to be," is a typical cry from these parents.
If your child is out of control, he or she needs you to intervene. That's why you've landed on this site, so allow us to be the help you need to help you find just the right program, hopefully near Lindenhurst, New York. The downward spiral your teen is on can have tremendous destructive potential with lifelong consequences, or even bring a young life to a quick end. Don't wait. Act today based on what you know is true — your faith, your own beliefs, and what you know is best for your child.
Use our expertise to help you find a Christian boarding school closest to Lindenhurst, New York that will provide your teen with the help and mentoring he or she needs, and within your budget. We've visited most of these programs and we know the staff there. We know what they are good at, and what they are not so good at. We poll parents who have placed their teen in these programs, so we know how well they have done to help the teen.
Avoid the temptation to put your child in a boarding school nearby Lindenhurst merely out of convenience (like we did). Rather, find the program that is most likely to help your child, even if it is outside of your state. Give us the chance to tell you about a few of them. Fill in the online form now to begin that process. There is NO CHARGE for this service.

The 51st edition of the International Organ Festival Haarlem, which took place from 16-30 July, attracted more than 9800 visitors – yet another record after the highly successful 50th anniversary festival in 2014. The numerous concerts and public events focused on the many historic organs in Haarlem and famous instruments in Zwolle, Doesburg, Zutphen, Rotterdam, Leiden and Alkmaar. The programmes ranged from 16th-century repertoire to the world premiere of Jimmy Smith in Paradise (for organ and percussion) by Gavin Bryars.
Central to the first week of the festival was the 51st International Improvisation Competition. Conspicuous innovations included improvisation assignments inspired by poetry, silent movies and graphic art, and a duo-improvisation with a percussionist. Considerable attention was also devoted to improvisation in recitals, masterclasses and lectures. The monumental church of St Bavo was among the venues of duo-recitals, each featuring two renowned guest organists of differing backgrounds: the large audiences were able to enjoy international events of outstanding artistic merit.
The International Improvisation Competition was won by the Dutch organist Geerten Liefting. In addition to a sum of money he received invitations for recitals in Paris, Toulouse, St Albans, Ratingen and Amsterdam (the Orgelpark), among other places. In 2018 he will return to perform at the next Haarlem Organ Festival.
Young Talents masterclasses were attended by eight players aged 13-18 from Portugal, Holland, Italy, Austria, USA and China. The invitation to young composers to take part in the Young Composers masterclasses resulted in fascinating pieces by composers from Chile, Letland, South Korea and Greece.
At the festival's opening concert an arrangement of Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana' was performed by the organist Jan Hage, the professional choir Consensus Vocalis, soloists and Slagwerk Den Haag, directed by Klaas Stok. It was broadcast by the Dutch radio society Omroep Max, along with other concerts including music by Frank Zappa and the festival premiere Jimmy Smith in Paradise by Gavin Bryars. The latter work was commissioned in collaboration with Toulouse-les-Orgues and the Orgelpark Amsterdam.

City Planner resigns to take job in Howell
January 23, 2008 by Steve Pierce YpsiNews.com
(January 25, 2008) Ypsilanti City Planner, Nathan Voght, has resigned to take the job as director of the Howell DDA. Voght had been the City Planner since 2001 representing the City at the Planning Commission, ZBA, as well as is in court hearings.
Voght, along with his wife, started Uptown Coffee in Howell in 2002 and lives in the Howell area. Voght served on the Howell DDA board and recently resigned to apply for the job as the new DDA Director. Vought's last day in Ypsilanti is February 15th.
Voght had been the chief architect of the massive downzoning plan in the central district of Ypsilanti bordering the downtown and EMU that irked many property owners. The downzoning plan covered some 700 properties and was one of the largest downzoning plans in the United States. Properties owners protested the plan filing a petition with over 400 signatures and offering an alternate plan. That second plan was eventually adopted by the City and changes to the Master Plan and zoning code are still under way.
Recently, Voght, along with Planning Director Karen Hart, oversaw the zoning changes at the Ypsilanti Historical Museum. The Historical Society purchased the building from the City last year. The Society then embarked on a $250,000 project to repair and upgrade the facility including adding handicap access and making needed repairs long ignored by the City.
Almost immediately the Society ran afoul of City zoning ordinances. Despite the museum being in the same location for nearly 40 years, the City had created a non-conforming use but the City was exempt from their own rules. The City then enforced the non-conforming use immediately after they sold the property to the Society.
Voght had originally administratively approved the Society's plan but was over ruled by his boss Karen Hart who in conjunction with the City Attorney John Barr ruled that the Society's plans had to go before the ZBA and Planning Commission.
The Zoning Board of Appeals, where Voght represents the City and makes recommendations to the board, ruled that the Society must expand their parking lot from the current 10 to 16 parking spaces.
A second city board, the Historic District Commission, indicated that they would not approve any expansion of the parking lot though no formal vote was taken as the item was only a study item.
Then Voght appeared before the Planning Commission where Planning Commission ruled that the Society must reduce parking from 10 spaces to nine and install an island, curbing, and plant screening bushes and trees.
The Historical Society is still trying to resolve the conflicting orders from the three citizen boards whose members are appointed by the Mayor and approved by City Council.
Voght is the third employee at City Hall to resign in the past month. Building Department Manager Charles Boulard resigned and so did Department of Public Works Director Bill Bohlen. Planning Director Karen Hart is the interim manager of the Building Department.
Hart said there were no immediate plans to replace Voght and will have to wait on direction from the City Council before anyone is hired. Hart's planning department is reduced to two including herself. Richard Murphy, who staffs the Historic District commission is the lone planner in the department.
The planning department does have a new planner coming on board as a result of funding from the County and Michigan State University Extension Service. That planner will be housed at City Hall but will be limited in the number of hours they can work on city projects.

I wish you all the best in your new position, Nathan, and I'm glad that in your new position you will likely be able to avoid the need to amend or enforce zoning regulations. No one deserves the kind of stress brought on by the various downzoning schemes, the Mr. Pizza debate, the downtown church controversy, the historical museum Catch-22, the mini-storage proposal, Water Street, the various Walgreens' site plan challenges, and so many other difficult experiences during your tenure as City Planner.


Being a mom is the best job in the world. You get to do things on a daily basis that most people don't- like teach a lesson on lying, change a diaper, identify weird substances smeared on the walls and answer the phone all at the same time. Today while I was puttering about the day-to-day tasks I compiled a mental list of all the fun things that make up a normal day for us. Enjoy!
1) You are afraid to shower because you have to close the door to the bathroom and you can't hear what the kids are doing over the sound of the water.
2) You walk around with barf on your clothes. Regularly.
3) You can't remember the last time you used the restroom alone.
4) You have ever threatened to take someone out of this world, starve them or send them to a third world country to learn some respect and not been eyed suspiciously or arrested.
5) Your normal size purse is being stored somewhere while you lug around a 20 lb bag that should be on wheels. But, you are pretty much prepared for The Apocalypse.
6) You sleep in spurts.
7) You have ever asked another adult if they had to go potty.
8) The "three second rule" varies depending on how tired you are and where the food landed.
if it's white it's allergies; if it's yellow it's a cold; if it's green call the doctor and inform the receptionist of the sinus infection then try to avoid going into the office.
10) You have ever hidden in a closet, bathroom or bedroom to eat something you didn't want to share.
11) You have watched someone use the restroom at the dinner table and kept on eating.
12) Your medicine cabinet doesn't have any band aids without characters on them.
13) You can't remember the last time you finished a meal before it was cold...or even finished a meal.
14) The only reason you would buy a dog is so you wouldn't have to sweep the floor as often.
15) You have ever apologized to your husband for kissing him goodbye and calling him "Buddy".
16) You use the word "nook" not in reference to an electronic reader but rather to a part of the body that is really hard to get sand out of...usually found next to the cranny.
17) You can dig pretty much anything out of a nostril without breaking a sweat.
18) Your idea of a good date is not having to cut up somebody else's food.
19) You have ever made a complete circle in the opposite direction of where you were headed in Walmart in order to avoid the toy section.
20) You refer to bedtime as "clocking out".
21) You can kiss a cut or scrape and it stops hurting immediately. It's kinda like a super power.
22) You only park next to cart returns.
23) You have ever ended an argument by yelling, "who wants a popsicle?"
24) You can sing the theme song to at least five popular kids shows and yet when you're mad you can't manage to attach the right name to the right person.
25) Someone walks past you in only underwear and sunglasses and you keep on typing.
Yeah well I thought my kids were non snoopers how did I know you guys went through my stuff???

Démètre Doukas Cabasilas (ou Demetrios Doukas Kabasilas ; en grec : Δημήτριος Δούκας Καβάσιλας) était un fonctionnaire et magnat byzantin de la seconde moitié du .

Il soutint Jean VI Cantacuzène durant la deuxième guerre civile de Byzance (1341-1347), qui opposait ce dernier, désigné régent, aux tuteurs de Jean V Paléologue, trop jeune pour régner. Il fut contraint de fuir Thessalonique en 1342, lorsque les Zélotes anti-aristocratiques prirent le pouvoir dans la ville. Les opposants de Cantacuzène le capturèrent et l'emprisonèrent, mais, après la victoire du régent en 1347, il fut libéré et récompensés par l'obtention de terres à Kalamaria et du titre de megas papias. Ses origines exactes, en particulier son utilisation du nom « Doukas », sont peu claires ; son père se nommait probablement Georges Cabasilas. Dans les documents qui attestent de sa carrière, Démètre semble avoir été associé à l'armée. Il fut promu megas archon en 1369 et une lettre de Démètre Kydones lui est adressée en 1386/1387.

Cabasilas épousa Anna Laskarina et eut deux fils, dont l'un fut le grand propriétaire Manuel Cabasilas.

Howard Shore - The Hobbit
Blockbuster soundtracks don't get much bigger (or smaller) than this - Howard Shore returns to Middle Earth for The Hobbit.
Howard Shore had an immensely hard act to follow, and he only had himself to blame. His score for Peter Jackson's film versions of Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings was so successful and universally adored that he was the natural choice when Jackson came to tackle the trilogy's prequel, The Hobbit.
And in the same way as before, with pastoral, innocent melody pushed to the front, Shore's music from The Hobbit brings the characters to life in music. The innocence of Bilbo Baggins and his ever-expanding journey, the ferociousness of the dragon, Smaug - countless times throughout Shore's score we are reminded of just how this modern master is able to use the tools of his trade to make an emotional connection with an audience of millions.

Louisiana Governor Signs Bill Reunifying New Orleans' School System
By Arianna Prothero — May 12, 2016 1 min read
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, signed a bill Thursday afternoon to return all of New Orleans schools to the oversight of the local Orleans Parish School Board.
The state has been overseeing the majority of New Orleans' schools—most of which are now charter schools—for over a decade.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, lawmakers put most of city's schools into the state-run Recovery School District, which manages school turnaround efforts across Louisiana.
The state currently supervises 52 charter schools, while the Orleans Parish School Board oversees 18 charters and six district schools.
Many state legislators representing New Orleans supported the bill.
"It's a remarkable feat to have that many members, especially of the New Orleans delegation, to come together to sponsor a bill," Edwards said during the signing ceremony. "I am very pleased to sign the bill."
However, the Orleans Parish School Board will be overseeing a system vastly different from the one it ran pre-Katrina, and there are concerns that the district may not be ready to assume this new role. For more on why, and other reaction from New Orleans educators and activists, read the full story I wrote on the plan to reunify the city's schools, here.

About Duke Dumont
English electronic dance musician Duke Dumont spins hypnotic house fit for clubs and festival stages alike. The Grammy-nominated DJ emerged in the 2000s, bolstered by hits "Need U (100%)," "Ocean Drive," and "I Got U," which all topped the U.S. dance charts and others across the globe. His debut studio effort, Duality, arrived in April 2020.
Born Adam George Dyment in Harrow England, he surfaced in 2006 with a buzzing, whip-cracking remix of Mekon's "Yes Yes Y'All." The London-based producer and DJ, inspired by "fidget house" figure Switch (M.I.A., Major Lazer), continued to increase his exposure through remixes for the likes of Late of the Pier ("Bathroom Gurgle"), Bat for Lashes ("Daniel"), and Lily Allen ("The Fear") prior to releasing his first DJ mix album, Fabriclive 51, in 2010. Dyment continued to be in demand as a remix producer -- in 2012 alone, he handled tracks by Bonobo, Santigold, and AlunaGeorge, among others -- but he also produced a hit of his own in March 2013 with the Grammy-nominated "Need U (100%)." Co-produced by Futtize and featuring vocals from A*M*E, the track, reminiscent of early-'90s crossover house, topped the U.K. pop chart. One year on, in March 2014, Dyment hit the U.K. number one spot once again, this time with the Whitney Houston-sampling track "I Got U." The Jax Jones-featuring track became his second to receive a Grammy nomination and was certified platinum in the U.K., Australia, and Italy. More well-received singles followed, including 2014's "Wont Look Back," 2015's "Ocean Drive," and 2017's "Real Life" featuring Gorgon City and Naations. In 2018, Dyment returned with the track "Inhale," featuring Ebenezer. The following year, he returned to the top of the U.S. dance chart with his sixth number one, "The Power" with Zak Abel. His seventh chart-topper, the '90s-house-indebted "Therapy," kicked off 2020. That April, he released his official full-length debut, Duality, which merged some of his biggest hits with previously unreleased tracks. ~ Andy Kellman
