Oh, Lord, why do you need to live these calamities through me-my addiction to intensity ruins me- You sent them facing me-I did demolish them but harmed myself-internal madness, sadness-the body is a lonely animal-I'm tired-drapery of darkness encases me, forces me eternally to do such horrific deeds, I stick out my tongue at You in shame. Oh, my precious husband, Shiva!
Please don't call me "Goddess." I do not want to live forever, let me leave this world of loss. I've had a strange and difficult life-You would not understand, though You made me, forced me to kill, please spare me aging into a useless crone, begging of my sons-I hate this necklace of skulls, these severed heads, to be alone with my notebook, to write my life, as it ends, is all I crave for.
Body-trapped, crippling hallucination, incessant flow of experience-I was abused and betrayed; the feminine rises-I want my sword to be my word-not to kill but to speak the Truth, to say we all must dream and all must die-I shall hurl my verbal blasts with the precision of a sword-your very wound will be my word. I'm not passive aggressive-stop playing heavy metal in my name.
I can no longer sell my soul for a little hit of love. Mother showed me old age so the older I become, the more filled with shame. I cannot even walk. My friend, a doll, dollhouses of paper prayers, you let her throw them away. "They had to go," fingers pointing only once the garbage truck pulled out, "they're made of dust, they harm my house of perfection."… so no, I cannot.
This dream's not assigned one body, just painful points of view-repetition is overrated-I die each time I kill, dear Lord, stop making me feel I am choosing to do it-please stop this bloodlust- You trapped me in this makeshift body, born of death, made from your desire to possess all of me, nonexistent realm of suffering where you placed me… please erase me, Lord I beg you. Please.

Poll: Do you want lights on the North Bank Path through East Alton Baker Park?
The area in question is highlighted in pinkish
The June 10th Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) meeting was – and I know I probably over-use this word – silly. I've only been attending public planning meetings for a few months now, but it never ceases to amaze me how emotional people get when discussing how to get from point "a" to point "b". City planners are tasked with the job of making everyone happy, which is hard when even the people in the bicycling community don't always agree, and at the last BPAC meeting they disagreed quite a bit.
Due to my masterful use of "article-title foreshadowing" you have no-doubt figured out that the issue which caused quarrel was the discussion over the possibility of adding lights to the River Path through East Alton Baker park and the Whilamut Natural Area.
Read on for details and to take WeBikeEugene's first poll!
Before I get into the details of this rather silly meeting, which was certainly not openly hostile, but at times was also not openly not hostile, I'm going to give a little bit of a background information about this issue. I ask the reader to not jump to any conclusions before you are finished reading. Jumping to conclusions leads to awkward meetings and forces me to continue to overuse the word "silly," and no-one wants that.
The City of Eugene has been tasked by cyclists to improve riding in Eugene and build a strong cycling infrastructure. One way they do this is by applying for Quick Response Readiness Grants that allow them to do all the engineering and design work on a project before actually receiving the funding to complete the project. If this sounds familiar, it may be because I explained this all two months ago in a post about the upcoming Fern Ridge Bike Path repair. The grants stipulate that if further grant funding is not found to complete the project within five years that the city must come up with the money themselves. It is important for the city to continue to apply and receive these grants so that they always have "shovel ready" projects in case they receive a grant which can be applied towards construction costs.
Around this time a BPAC member dropped a bombshell from left field and suggested that, for safety, bikes should be banned from that section of trail and should take Day Island Park Rd instead. At this suggestion several people in the room, including me, shat ourselves in disbelief and the idea was quickly poo-poo'd (pun intended).
Currently Eugene has received a grant to do the engineering and design work for the section of the Fern Ridge Bike Path between Chambers and Garfield. This part of the grant was presented at the BPAC meeting, and the possible movement of the bike path and community garden seemed to be news to almost everyone, despite me breaking that story two months ago. But, this article is not about how the BPAC apparently doesn't read this website yet (scoundrels!), so lets move on.
The aforementioned grant will also fund the engineering and design necessary to bring the North Bank River Path between the DeFazio and Knickerbocker bike bridges up to city standards. These are old, run down sections of path that will need to be rebuilt soon anyway, and bringing them up to standards would turn them into a 12-foot-wide shared use concrete paths with lights. This, my gentle readers, is the source of the controversy.
This section of the path runs through Alton Baker Park and the Whilamut Natural Area, an area full of easily blinded nocturnal animals and trees who don't want their roots to be paved over. Suddenly we have city standards conflicting with, well, city standards. Turns out that the 1996 East Alton Baker Plan says that lights should not be in the park, sort of: (emphasis mine)
East Alton Baker Park is one of the largest reserves of darkness left in the metropolitan area and as such provides habitat for many nocturnal wildlife species. But the glare from lights both within and surrounding the park is excessive and needs to be shielded for plants and wildlife to thrive. In addition, WISTEC and the Lane ESD Planetarium (located on the edge of East Alton Baker Park) often hold stargazing events in the area, which also require darkness. The glare from the lights also presents a safety hazard for park visitors.
While that statement seems clear, it is followed shortly by these goals: (emphasis mine)
8.0 Establish the park as an oasis of darkness at night, where park visitors can engage in passive recreational activities, such as star gazing and astronomy. In selected areas of the park, provide limited, low intensity lighting for public safety that is shielded to eliminate glare and that has minimal impact on wildlife.
8.2 Limit lighting in the park to the Autzen bike path, and to the kiosks at park entrances at North Walnut and Leo Harris Parkway, the Eastgate Woodlands, and the north end of the Autzen Footbridge. Lighting fixtures should be shielded to eliminate glare and have minimal or no impact on wildlife.
8.3 Determine what hours lights should be turned on and regulate them to meet the needs of both park users and wildlife.
So, the plan is not clear (what exactly is the "Autzen Bike Path"), and has different interpretations depending on where you choose to quote from. At this point it would seem that the best thing for everyone to do is screw the plans and city standards, and just come together and have an honest and courteous discussion about what's best for everyone. Unfortunately, that's not what happened at the meeting. Now our story begins:
The rough plans for the area between the Defazio and Frohnmeyer bridges
The meeting began with a public comment period where members of the The East Alton Baker Park Citizen Planning Committee (CPC), who had heard of the planning process, laid out impassioned scientific reasons for why lighting should not be allowed in park. They talked about nocturnal animals, stargazing, darkness sanctuaries, Nearby Nature hikes, and similar issues. They made a very good argument, but it seemed to catch the members of the BPAC off-guard. City officials weren't planning to brief the BPAC on the project until later in the meeting, so the testimony came as a surprise to many of the BPAC members. The issue died down for awhile while the meeting covered other matters, but became heated later that night when the tentative plans were finally presented to the BPAC.
At this point it would seem that the best thing for everyone to do is screw the plans and city standards, and just come together and have an honest and courteous discussion about what's best for everyone. Unfortunately, that's not what happened at the meeting.
Before we go on I should set the scene. The BPAC sits around a long table, looking very important, and observers like myself sit in three rows of chairs in the corner of the room. I was sitting in the middle row with several members of CPC sitting behind me. This unique position allowed me to hear most of what was going on in the room.
The first part of the discussion covered path width. There is a particularly curvy section of narrow path on either side of the Autzen (Frohnmeyer) bike bridge. It's the part of the path that has roots up-heaving the path and rides sort of like a BMX track. City standards call for this area to be widened to 12 feet, and when this was announced there was much muttering and grumbling behind me from the CPC. The BPAC balked at the idea as well. Some BPAC members suggested that the path be repaved but kept its current width, but some members of the CPC didn't like that idea either.
Around this time a BPAC member dropped a bombshell from left field and suggested that, for safety, bikes should be banned from that section of trail entirely and should take Day Island Park Rd instead. At this suggestion several people in the room, including me, shat ourselves in disbelief and the idea was quickly poo-poo'd (pun intended). Even the CPC, who should not be vilified and are cyclists themselves, weren't asking to ban bikes from the area. They just want the natural area preserved, and so does everyone else.
There is a place for common ground and compromise in this issue. The city often does not build its paths to city standards for a variety of reasons. Also, the grant is just for engineering and design, and the process has barely even started.
Next the subject of lights was broached and people seemed to stop listening, but unfortunately didn't stop talking. The CPC's muttering and negating of ideas from the back row set the stage for conflict, and every time a BPAC member suggested a compromise it was shot down. Indeed there are several options: low intensity lights, lights that turn off at 10pm (which could catch 95% of the winter commuters), lights of a special color, etc. Certainly with some research a compromise could be found – but the CPC appeared to come with an uncompromising "kill the project" agenda, and this put some BPAC members on the defensive.
The most exciting part of the night was when BPAC member David Gizara, a nurse, was relating his anecdotal evidence of taking care of people who were assaulted on the path due to a lack of lights. At this point the CPC was openly interrupting the meeting from the peanut gallery, and Gizara snapped "You guys are going to have to make concessions about lighting," to which a CPC member angrily responded "You don't tell us we have to make concessions. You can say that, but the park plan would have to be amended in order for that to happen."
Like I said, not openly hostile, but not exactly not hostile either.
Mercifully, after this the meeting moved on to other issues, but that didn't end the discussion. City planners Rob Inerfield and Michelle Cahill met the CPC outside the meeting room to continue the discussion. The words were very polite, but the body language was strong. Inerfield, Cahill, and another employee were backed into a corner and looked like rabbits surrounded by a pack of wolves. I'm sure the body language was completely unintentional and something the CPC would regret if pointed out, but they clearly came to do battle.
HEY! YOU! SAME TEAM!
I don't want anyone to get the impression that I don't like the CPC or that they are bad or mean people. I actually mostly agree with their position, but I don't agree with their tone. They went into the BPAC meeting expecting conflict and opposition, and that's what they got, but it didn't have to be that way! Many of the people representing the CPC are cyclists and GEARs members and ride the trail often. Likewise, The BPAC is made up of people who love nature and walk and bike everywhere. Watching the two groups kibitz was like watching two basketball players who are on the same team fight for a rebound. I kept wanting to stand up and yell "GUYS! SAME TEAM!" There didn't need to be any conflict at the meeting, but the CPC's behavior led to some people like Gizara taking a hard-line stance against them. Luckily, most of the people on the BPAC remained calmer.
There is a place for common ground and compromise in this issue. The city often does not build its paths to city standards for a variety of reasons. Also, the grant is just for engineering and design, and the process has barely even started. There is no reason to fight so hard this early in the process. City employees want to work with everyone involved, including the CPC.
The good news is that the CPC invited the BPAC to take a tour of the path with them and the BPAC eagerly accepted. Maybe on this walk cooler heads will prevail.
Now that you have the story, what do you think? Should lights be added to this area?
Take our poll, and if you have comments you can send them directly to city planners Michelle.r.Cahill (at) ci.eugene.or.us and Lee.Shoemaker (at) ci.eugene.or.us. (As well as posting them here, of course.)

8 thoughts on "Poll: Do you want lights on the North Bank Path through East Alton Baker Park?"
Hans Kuhn says:
Is there any data on how many people are impacted (bikes and peds) by the presence or absence of lights on this path? In other words, has the city done an after-dark count of path users in this segment of path?
I forgot to mention in my previous post that I'm nervous about unscientific polls. I probably won't be taking the poll because I don't think there's any useful information to come from them and I don't want to validate it by participating.
Online polls are notorious for being gamed by people who use multiple computers and remove their cookies to allow them to vote as many times as the need to "win" and thus don't represent the sense of the community which is presumably the point of such polls.
Mike Seager says:
I think the upcoming bike/ped count numbers should give them an idea. The path is certainly heavily used in the daylight, and I think the goal is to increase after-dark use as well. In theory, lights would increase ridership between Springfield and Eugene in the dark winter months.
As for the poll, I'm trusting both sides to be honest with it. I also don't think it will influence the people in charge of making the decision much. This one is sort of an experiment.
Eugene Bicyclist says:
I don't use that stretch a lot — and almost never at night — so it could be that I'd think differently if it were part of my regular travels. But …
Sure, I'd prefer parts of the park to be kept in a more natural state. There aren't many islands of natural space left in the city.
Aren't there reasonable alternative routes that could be used by cyclists? (Yes, I think the idea of a bike ban on this stretch is unnecessary, but if there are alternatives that cyclists could use when it's dark, why do this? If it's dark, you're not really there to enjoy the scenery.
And if you really want to ride that stretch, you can always put a light on your bike, no?
FYI, the Autzen Bike Path the park plan mentions is the path between the Frohnmayer Footbridge and Leo Harris Parkway, which makes sense considering the regular and gameday traffic it's generated.
I think one consideration that needs to be brought to the fore is to light the South Bank Path, then encouraging night travel to switch over there if lighting is an issue. The south bank has much less issues with preservation, and is a slightly longer alternative to the north side. It would help if the city could get a Riverfront Parkway – Knickerbocker stretch built someday.
Ban bikes??? Sounds too familiar. We are becoming a popular scapegoat.
Eric Hanson says:
I use this section of the path all the time. It's one of my favorite walking spots in town, and one of the best sections of a fun cycling loop.
I see no reason to widen this path and/or install lights in the section between Alton Baker and the Knickerbocker Bridge. Some of the coolest and gnarliest trees in the city are along the path here.
Besides, the other side of the path, next to the abandoned EWEB buildings, is very well-lit for people transporting themselves home along this section. This is what a lot of people choose to do anyway, since you don't run into the families who gather along the path in Alton Baker.
Don't mess with a good thing.
Nicholas Baker says:
I know plenty of riders, particularly women, who feel uncomfortable riding the North Bank path at night because it is – sans during twilight – so dark.
That being said, I almost prefer using it at night because of the lack of other bicyclist and the more eerie, natural feel of the forest around me.

[Review] 3YE make rather forgettable debut with "DMT"
TheBiasList 05/22/2019	Editorials, K-Entertainment, Reviews Leave A Comment
K-pop tends to cannibalize itself, which can muddle the meaning of "debut" when it comes to new groups. 3YE (pronounced "Third Eye" because … of course it is) have debuted with their first digital single "DMT", but the members have already been active in the industry. All three were part of disbanded girl group Apple.B, who was managed by the same agency.
I understand the desire to drastically shift names and concepts in the hope of a much-needed reboot, but I wonder just how confident these girls feel when it comes to their management and promotion. Things didn't work out last time. Why would they now? Well, 3YE are hedging their bets on a stylistic overhaul. While Apple.B was cute and bubbly, "DMT" sees the group trying on a hard-edged blast of EDM swagger.
The overall sound is more captivating this time around, but the song suffers from relying too heavily on formula. Listeners are hit immediately with heavy percussion and distorted electronics. "DMT" wastes no time launching into its beat-drop hook. As far as instrumental loops go, it's unremarkable but not unlistenable. Like much of the track, the production feels lifted straight from dozens of like-minded singles over the past few years.
While the structure may be overly familiar, the use of dubstep feels almost nostalgic. This genre was omnipresent in 2013's K-pop oeuvre, eventually fading as trap became more mainstream. It's kind of fun to hear it again, though the track doesn't make interesting use of its jagged flourishes. Instead, its bombastic presence punctuates hip-hop verses and a pre-chorus that strains to offer a kind of quasi-melody.
The girls are definitely singing on "DMT", but even after a few listens I can barely remember anything that happened between the noisy instrumental portions. That's probably not a good sign for 3YE, but I could say the same about their work as Apple.B.

Q: get cpu by user Working with monit I need create an alert that get cpu usage of system users, so:
top -b -n 1 -u user1 | awk 'NR>7 { sum += $9; } END { print sum; }'

seems a good solution but I'm not sure about reliable because when I do above command, every time change (obviously) the value. So, I need an "exact" use of cpu by user within 2-5 seconds, because the VALUE will send like an email alert.

A: Try this
ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -5

Output will be like
%CPU   PID USER     COMMAND
0.6 18695 mysql  /usr/sbin/mysqld
0.1   961 root     [kdmflush]

Sudan, Egypt, Ethiopia sign deal on Nile dam
Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia signed a deal Tuesday on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) following three days of meetings in the Sudanese capital Khartoum.
Attempts to reach consensus on the deal have been taking place throughout the past year via dialogue among the concerned parties.
In September 2014, local expert committees from Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia recommended conducting two more studies on the GERD. The first proposed test was on the dam's impact on Egypt and Sudan's water shares, and the second on the anticipated environmental, economic and social impact on both Sudan and Egypt.
Then, in March 2015, the three countries signed a Declaration of Principles in Khartoum articulating the continuation of talks on political and technical issues, as well as conducting technical studies to protect the three countries' shares in the river Nile.
"The deal is the culmination of the Declaration of Principles signed by the three countries' leaders last March," said Sudan's foreign minister Ibrahim Ghandour during a press conference Tuesday.
Ghandour said the deal stipulates the three countries' consensus on a French Office to finalize the GERD's technical studies; speeding up said studies; solid commitment to the Declaration of Principles; advancing confidence building as well as coordinating regular meetings between Foreign and Water Ministries in the three countries.
"A fixed timetable is in place for finalizing the technical studies," he noted.
Ghandour described the deal as "historic," reaffirming the three countries' shared readiness to refine dialogue, develop confidence and enhance strategic partnerships with secure ties and shared interests.
Egypt's Foreign Minister, Sameh Shoukry, expressed his satisfaction with the deal, saying "it reflects the three countries' shared willingness to overcome all barriers."
"During three days of dialogue, the importance of enhancing confidence and reaching common interests on equitable opportunities was highlighted. We have arrived at a good deal," he added.
Meanwhile, Ethiopia's Foreign Minister, Tedros Adhanom, reiterated his country's commitment to work with both Sudan and Egypt, stressing the importance of a strategic partnership between the three countries.
The GERD unsettles Egypt as it fears the dam could impact its share in the Nile river, which amounts to 55.5 billion cubic meters. Equally, Ethiopia stated that the dam will most likely affect its resources, namely in the electricity sector.
The GERD extends over an area of 1,800 square km, and is expected to be finalized in three years, at a cost of 4.7 billion US dollars.

DuckTales Remastered Review
Xbox 360 | PS3 | PC | Wii U
System: Wii U, PS3*, Xbox 360, PC
Dev: WayForward
Pub: Capcom
Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p Fantasy Violence
Is It 1989 Again?
by Jenni Lada
Duckburg is certainly hopping. Of course, there's a good reason for it. After many years, Scrooge McDuck is grabbing his cane and heading out to expand his collection of treasures. DuckTales Remastered dusts off a classic game, one many of us grew up with, and is giving it a well-deserved second chance at the spotlight. The result is a remake that absolutely improves upon the original, even adding in new content that will surprise people who thought they were familiar with every DuckTales nook and cranny.
DuckTales Remastered starts with an actual story. Scrooge is chilling in his mansion when the alarm at his vault goes off. He dashes to the scene of the crime, where the Beagle Boys are causing trouble and holding Huey, Dewey, and Louie hostage. Scrooge quickly saves the kids and gives the criminals the boot, but he discovers the crooks were after a painting with a treasure map hidden inside. Scrooge immediately sets off to find the five treasures to further fill his coffers.
The result is a return to the five levels NES fans have remembered for years. Scrooge hits the African Mines, the Amazon, the Himalayas, the Moon, and Transylvania in search of shiny things. Each area now proceeds in a manner similar to the DuckTales cartoons, with a brief introduction setting the scene, events between major characters, cameos from figures like Gizmo Duck, and a conclusion that results in Scrooge getting the gold or even the cheese. The events eventually lead up to a showdown in an entirely new area crafted specifically for DuckTales Remastered.
Not every detail from the first game reappears in the updated version. The first different thing I noticed is that the timer is gone. To be honest, I miss it. I enjoyed that feeling of pressure as I played through the game. Sure, I can see how much time I've spent playing in the main menu, but there isn't the same urgency to run through each area. Of course, that's probably a positive, as each area has objectives and new events that must be met and experienced before facing the revamped boss battles.
Let's go with the Himalaya level, for example. Scrooge first needs to find the pieces to repair Launchpad's crashed plane. Once the pieces are recovered and Bubba Duck is rescued, the group heads to find Genghis Khan's crown. Except, while they fly to its last known location, Glomgold and his Beagle Boys fly up, making for something like a mini-boss battle, where Scrooge has to attack the Beagle Boys when they land on his plane while also whacking any bombs back at Glomgold. It's only after that showdown that the real boss fight takes place.
I'm pleased with DuckTales Remastered's level progression, as it adds more depth to the game and provides more reason to really explore each area. I thought the original game was substantial, but compared to this, it didn't offer as much incentive to really go everywhere and see everything. Plus, it also eliminates a major problem I had with DuckTales, which was the constant backtracking to Transylvania. In the original game, players had to go there for its section, return for the African Mine key, and show up in the manor for the final boss fight. Now, there's more variety.
One thing can't be debated: WayForward and Capcom really captured the essence of the characters in DuckTales Remastered. Whether it's the sublime voice acting or the exceptional 2D character art, it's a joy to see McDuck and his crew again. The casting is, of course, perfect because they went and grabbed the original cast from the DuckTales TV show. Alan Young still has it as Scrooge, though the constant commentary throughout levels can be a bit much at times. Not to mention the character designs prove that if you want rich, detailed, 2D characters you have to go with WayForward. The little extras are just amazing. I was attacking extra hockey players in the Himalayas just so I could watch their hockey sticks fly away.
I have to say, though, I wish the locations looked as amazing as Scrooge, his family, his friends, and his foes. Let me put it this way: Anything that is in 2D is gloriously beautiful, sharp, and crisp. Anything that isn't 2D seems like it's a part of an entirely different game. The levels are mostly faithful re-creations of the original, but I wish that WayForward had gone with an entirely 2D game instead of going with the 2.5D effect and hoping it worked. It doesn't look terrible, but I found it awkward, and my eye was drawn more to the colorful and detailed characters than the 3D environments in which they live.

Sleeping beauty, originally uploaded by Jenny Lee Silver.
She fell asleep in my lap tonight before I could actually put her to bed. I guess it was an eventful day that tired her out… And I just didn't want to move her for a while.
It's really incredible that I can just sit here and watch Lyra sleep, and be pretty happy doing so. She looks so peaceful, and I feel like I could make all the noise in the world and she wouldn't wake up, but I still want to sit here and just… watch her sleep.
I didn't really get it before — just how it feels to love someone this way. It's entirely different from anything I've ever felt before. I feel physical pain if I think about anything terrible happening to her. My breath catches in my throat if I imagine her getting hurt, and my heart breaks into uncounted millions of shards if I venture into thinking about somehow losing her. It's a pain I can't explain to anyone who isn't a parent, and if you are, then it doesn't need an explanation. It just is, and I can't imagine life without her, or that feeling.
Maybe it's a bit like an elite club, but it's not that I don't want people to join — It's my hope that anyone who wishes to can live this experience, letting us share (even if it's not spoken aloud) the knowledge that this is a strange, challenging, and ultimately rewarding club to join — the most rewarding and challenging experience of my life.
So many people who were already in the club told me that I wouldn't get it until I was there. I knew they were right then; now I know just how right they were, and exactly what they meant.
I can't explain it… if you know what I'm talking about, then maybe someday we'll have a cup of tea and talk about it, but I really don't know that there's much to say… it just is. You know what I mean.
So good night my sleeping beauty, I'll miss you while you're gone, and I'll be so happy to see you in the morning — and you won't understand what I mean until you grow up and maybe have a baby of your own.
Thank you for making me your mom.
she has grown so much! you are a good mom.
I completely feel physical pain at the idea of anything happening to either of my kids. I wasn't expecting that at all… or rather, not that I didn't expect that, but I didn't expect to think of the possibility of something bad happening as often as I do.

Revised MQSA Policy on Follow Up for Inspection Violations
Mammography Quality Standards Act and Program
FDA's Division of Mammography Quality and Radiation Programs has a new policy for how facilities should respond to serious inspection observations, and what follow-up actions FDA may take if facilities don't correct their problems.
In the past, FDA usually sent facilities a Warning Letter for a Level 1, repeat Level 1, or repeat Level 2 observation. This letter asked for a written response within 15 days explaining how the facility had corrected or would correct its problems. For a Level 2 observation, the facility was asked to send a written response within 30 days after the inspection.
The following changes became effective October 1, 2003:
For a Level 1, repeat Level 1, or repeat Level 2 observation, the facility must correct the problem(s) as soon as possible. Instead of waiting to receive a Warning Letter, the facility should send a written response to FDA within 15 days after the inspection.
For a Level 2 observation, the facility must correct the problem(s) as soon as possible. The facility should respond to FDA within 30 days after the inspection.
[this represents no change from previous policies]
If, after receiving a Level 2 or more severe observation, the facility's response to the inspection's observations appears adequate, FDA may decide that no further action is needed and will notify the facility that the matter is closed.
If the facility's written response to the inspection observations isn't sufficient or the facility fails to respond, FDA may need to re-inspect the facility to verify that it has corrected all of the problems. The cost of this inspection is $1144. Before scheduling this re-inspection, FDA may need to contact the facility, in case the response letter was lost in the mail or was misdirected. FDA may also decide to send the facility a Warning Letter, based on several factors, including the severity of the problems, whether the facility responded or responded adequately, and past history of problems. FDA will usually re-inspect facilities after sending Warning Letters to see if serious problems continue. Continuing violations at mammography facilities could result in FDA taking regulatory action, such as Directed Plans of Correction, Civil Money Penalties, Suspension or Revocation of an MQSA certificate.

How To Safely Make Hashish Wax At Dwelling (Rosin with...
Washington, D.C. Mayor Indicators Medical Hashish Self-Certification Invoice
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday signed a invoice into regulation that may ease entry for medical hashish sufferers within the nation's capital.
Generally known as the Medical Marijuana Self-Certification Emergency Modification Act of 2022, the measure will permit sufferers who're within the medical hashish program to "self-certify" their qualifying situation for the remedy.
Meaning, efficient instantly, these sufferers will not must obtain a advice from a physician so as to obtain a medical hashish card.
Bowser hailed the brand new ordinance as a victory each for sufferers and medical hashish suppliers.
"Now we have made it a precedence through the years to construct a extra patient-centric medical marijuana program and this laws builds on these efforts," Bowser stated in a statement on Wednesday. "We all know that by bringing extra medical marijuana sufferers into the authorized market in a well timed method and doing extra to degree the taking part in discipline for licensed medical marijuana suppliers, we are able to defend residents, help native companies, and supply readability to the group."
"I applaud the Council for transferring ahead this revolutionary resolution to a posh challenge, and I sit up for working with the Council and ABRA on everlasting, extra complete medical marijuana laws sooner or later," she continued.
The ordinance was passed late last month by the Washington, D.C. Metropolis Council.
Supporters of the measure stated it was important for medical hashish dispensaries in Washington, D.C. which have taken successful to their backside line because of the prevalence of illicit pot retailers within the metropolis.
"As a result of decrease obstacles to entry within the grey market, a major variety of medical marijuana sufferers have shifted from buying their medical marijuana from authorized medical dispensaries to the illicit grey market, creating a major danger to the long-term viability of the District's authorized medical marijuana business," Councilmembers Kenyan McDuffie and Mary Cheh, the 2 sponsors of the ordinance, stated in an announcement final month. "If this pattern continues, it's potential that grey market gross sales might wipe out the District's authorized marijuana dispensaries."
A lot of these unregulated hashish retailers in Washington, D.C. make use of the apply of "gifting," by which a buyer pays for a product akin to a t-shirt and in flip receives a "present" of hashish.
In April, the D.C. Metropolis Council voted down a proposal that may have imposed hefty fines on these illicit pot shops.
Underneath the proposal, these unregulated retailers would have been hit with fines as much as $30,000. It additionally would have permitted adults aged 21 and older in D.C. to acquire medical hashish with no physician's go to.
Looming over this dilemma is a Congress-imposed ban on leisure gross sales in Washington, D.C.
Voters within the district authorised an initiative in 2014 that legalized leisure hashish, however Congress, which oversees D.C. legal guidelines, has included a provision in each appropriations invoice since then that prohibits the commercialization of leisure pot within the metropolis.
It was a blow to hashish advocates within the nation's capital, and to Bowser, who expressed hope final fall when Senate Democrats unveiled a spending invoice that didn't embrace the availability.
"The Senate appropriations invoice is a important step in recognizing that in a democracy, D.C. residents must be ruled by D.C. values," Bower's workplace stated in an announcement on the time. "As we proceed on the trail to D.C. statehood, I need to thank Senate Appropriations Committee Chair, Senator Patrick Leahy, our good pal and Subcommittee Chair, Senator Chris Van Hollen, and, after all, our champion on the Hill, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, for recognizing and advancing the need of D.C. voters. We urge Congress to move a last spending invoice that equally removes all anti-Dwelling Rule riders, permitting D.C. to spend our native funds as we see match."

Telemedicine researchers at Australia's national science agency, the CSIRO, have developed new video-streaming technology to help parents stay connected to their premature babies while in hospital.
A statement from the CSIRO said the technology allowed parents to watch live video of their babies using a mobile phone app. A trial of the technology is underway.
One of the women involved in testing out the technology, Samantha Hayden, who has pre-term twins Zachary and Sebastian, said she was happy to be able to see her babies whenever she wanted.
The twins spent the first weeks of their lives in The Townsville Hospital's neonatal intensive care unit.
Samantha Hayden with her pre-term twins, Zachary and Sebastian.
CSIRO's Australian e-Health Research Centre chief executive Dr David Hansen said the technology was meant to ease the worries of parents who often had to leave their newborn babies in hospital when they returned home.
"This affordable solution has been engineered with privacy and security features and uses the mobile phones families already have – which makes the technology widely accessible," Dr Hansen said.
The app provides a secure channel for parents to watch their babies after it is installed on a smartphone.
Townsville Hospital's neonatal specialist Dr Yoga Kandasamy said of the 900 babies treated annually in the NICU, about a third were from regional and remote parts of north and north-west Queensland.
The CSIRO said more than 35 parents had already used the app to stay connected with their offspring.
The trial is being conducted jointly by The Townsville Hospital and Health Service (with funding via a SERTA grant), CSIRO's Australian e-Health Research Centre and James Cook University, with Optus donating 10 mobile phones and data.

CLE Signature Series returns for an encore. Made by Christian Eiroa, the mastermind behind the celebrated Camacho brand, CLE cigars have already earned a slew of 90+ ratings, and are produced in a small batch fashion with meticulous attention paid to even the smallest details. This cigar features flawless construction and abundant flavor and, unlike its predecessor, comes with bands.
This new edition is made at Eiroa's father's Honduran factory, Las Lomas, and features a top secret blend of premium tobaccos. CLE Signature Series is enormously rich and flavorful, while remaining smooth and balanced. Boasting a complex profile, this stick is a thing of beauty with no soft spots and nearly invisible seams. This is a perfect cigar for marking a special occasion or just kicking back after a long work week.
Excellent cigar! Purchased from my local cigar shop slow burn start to finish and really constructed well i would definitely recommend along with buying again.


Christmas is almost here once again. Have you already shopped for everyone on your list? If the answer is no, you aren't alone – most of us find ourselves scrambling at the last minute to pack in the presents.
But here's the thing; waiting to shop is often bad news. Not only do prices tend to rise just before Christmas, but stores can sometimes start to run out of inventory, too. Waiting too long could leave you spending more than you intended to in the rush.
This Christmas, we want to help you bring your costs down. That's why we put together this handy list of cost-saving apps. Use them to cut corners without sacrificing your ability to give gifts. You just might even make a little bit of money back on the presents you buy for others.
Just as it sounds, Christmas Gift List lets you create and save gift lists for people you love (or yourself, no judgements here). Just set a budget, keep adding items and prices, and the app will tell you when you get close to your limit. Commit to sticking to the budget you set and you should stay well within your spending range this year.
Ibotta is an app that's really a reward system in disguise. It gives you real cash back on the purchases you already make every single day, like groceries, spirits, pharmacy items, clothing and beauty products. Look at rewards for hotel stays, Christmas dinner items, or even those coveted stocking stuffers this year.
RetailMeNot is a multi-feature app. It lets you look up coupon codes, but also contains a nifty geotargeting app that will notify you if you're near any deals when you're out and about. At the local shopping mall? Just check in – RetailMeNot will let you know whether the good sales are.
ShopKick is another rewards app that pays you back for spending money at certain retailers. While you can't get cold-hard cash back (you get gift cards instead), it's the perfect choice for holiday shopping because most people buy so many items at once. Every purchase grants you "kick points," which you can eventually redeem for gift cards to your favorite retailers – that's a nice boost in the New Year.
Flipp doesn't help you shop directly; instead, it shows you all local flyers and coupons applicable to your local area. This is ideal for shopping for groceries, spirits, and other small items. Check it for the most ideal price before you head out shopping, so you don't have to waste time going store-to-store to price match.
Honey is a coupon-finding app designed specifically for Chrome browser. While it won't work on a smartphone, it is worth mentioning. After installation, Honey works in the background as you surf, notifying you if you land on a site for which there is an available coupon. WIth the click of a button, you can apply the coupon to your shopping cart before you finalize your order.
Ebates is yet another cash-back rewards system (and yes, in many cases, you can use it in tandem with other rewards sites). Just log in, pick the store you want to shop at from their list, and do your regular online shopping. Ebates will track the purchase and grant you cash back right into your account. The system also applies any available special coupons and deals to your order automatically.
Merry Christmas, from all of us here at United Voice – and happy shopping!

Facing racism in Argentina
Bishop Nick with fellow bishops Crisanto Rojas and Mateo Alto, members of Argentina's Wichi and Toba Original Peoples respectively, visiting a Wichi university student
In the face of police brutality, and largely inappropriate responses from elected leaders, people have taken to the streets worldwide to protest the death of George Floyd in police custody. The Rt Rev Nick Drayson, mission partner and Bishop of Northern Argentina, reflects.
Together with many church leaders in the UK (where we are at present, due to lockdown) and around the world, we know we must not just call for justice and name evil for what it is, but we must examine ourselves and our churches with repentance.
We read Philippians 2:5-11 today, commented on in Lectio-365 by Izwe Nkosi, a South African Christian: "a part of the Bible that has much to say about the purpose of power, the future of nations and the way that God himself was oppressed and innocently killed by evil men."
He goes on to say: "One day, perhaps quite soon, every tribe and tongue will finally bow the knee – not before a flag, but before the Lord Jesus Christ. On that wonderful day, every culture will bring its own unique revelation – its food, its language, its music – as equals at the coronation of an innocent Middle-Eastern man, killed without justice and exalted by God to the highest place."
I recognise in myself all sorts of deep-seated attitudes, despite having worked cross-culturally for years, and often stood up for minority cultures. Even in something (relatively trivial) like the 60s music that shaped me, I came very late to the black (blues) music that inspired modern rock, and hardly know any of the Motown and Gospel that was so important to black communities in those years.
In Argentina it is commonly supposed that there is no black population (as they are largely invisible on the streets) and that the few African descendants one meets are largely Brazilian or Uruguayan. There is in fact a historical black community which is conveniently hidden.
But it used to be said, as well, there are no "Indians" in Argentina (meaning Amerindians, or Original Peoples as they are now called). A much better job has been done of giving them visibility, and the relatively new constitution reflects their ancient rights and identity. However, this is where Argentina's racism largely resides, and it is no stranger to the church.
I am grieved to say that, despite several generations of affirming indigenous identity through language and culture, much of our church, and most of the surrounding culture, is in some way racist. It is two way, given centuries of suspicion and hostility.
It has to be said that much has been done to overcome it, but a situation of real equality still feels a long way off.
One example: would it yet be possible to contemplate having a Wichi bishop over Criollo (white) members? There are obviously considerations of ability, training and calling, but for many this is difficult to contemplate.
However, for 'white' Argentines, their "Black Lives" are the Original Peoples who, in our church at least, are the vast majority. May we examine ourselves, repent, and take practical steps, not just because it is now fashionable, but because it is biblical.
Bishop Nick has recently joined with other Anglican bishops and archbishops to speak out on environmental racism.

Have you ever noticed that it is fun to prepare for Christmas in October and no fun anymore in December?! I just spent a day at Archiver's making Christmas tags... so much fun.
I used office tags for these, putting a little scotch mounting tape on the back of the stamped portion to pop them up.
I thought the candi dots were cute... i added them with tape dots.
I got this sugar cookie stamp from papertrey ink last year and never used it. I love it with the baker's twine and the little red clothespins.
I added a little glitter glue to the cookies too.
Here is the same idea with snomen... and candy canes!
Last of all these cute little tags for my knitted gifts. I spend so much time knitting things for people, I wanted some special tags to go with it!
Have you started crafting for Christmas?
"Have I started making things for Christmas?" you ask. Oh Jenni! I'm still trying to figure out Halloween! LOL! But I LOVE your tags and your wreath and every thing you've shared. Now I'm inspired to start!
I'm counting down they days to Nov 1st when I start Christmas in full force! I love that you are already on the ball! I would love for you to share these at our first ever 4th Friday Finale @ Over the Big Moon.
These tags are so adorable I just want to have a zillion gifts to give out and put these on!!!
So cute! Can't wait till Christmas.

This site was maintained for and on behalf of the International League of Peoples' Struggle (ILPS).
The content below is from the site's 2002 archived content.
The International League of Peoples' Struggle (ILPS) is an anti-imperialist and democratic formation (see ILPS Charter). It promotes, supports and develops the anti-imperialist and democratic struggles of the people of the world against imperialism and all reaction.
It has a broad mass character and not subordinate to any political party, government or religion and affords equality to all participating organizations.
It strives to realize the unity, cooperation and coordination of anti-imperialist and democratic struggles throughout the world.
Rights of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and trans-gendered.
advocacy, research, publications, conferences, seminars and social and political action.
Who Can Join the League?
Any organization that agrees with the charter of the League may apply or may be invited to become a participating organization of the League.
The application shall be evaluated and acted upon by the International Coordinating Committee within one year from such application or invitation.
All participating organizations shall assume responsibilities in accordance with the resolutions and decisions of the International Assembly.
All participating organizations shall have equal basic rights and duties.
A participating organization may cease to be such by resignation, self-dissolution or by expulsion for serious violation of this charter, resolutions or decisions of the International Assembly.
All participating organizations shall maintain their independence and initiative and shall accordingly have equal basic rights and duties.
The International League of Peoples' Struggle (ILPS) was founded on 25 May 2001 in Zutphen, the Netherlands in its First International Assembly (FIA).
The FIA was attended by 339 delegates and guests, representing 218 mass organizations from 40 countries: Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Benin, Brazil, Burma, Canada, Congo, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Scotland, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey and USA.
From 25 to 27 May 2001, the delegates deliberated on and ratified the Charter of the ILPS, passed resolutions on the concerns of the League and elected the members of the International Coordinating Committee (ICC).
Fifteen workshops were held addressing the issues of most of the 18 concerns. Resource speakers made very informative presentations, draft resolutions were deliberated on, and country experiences were shared. The resolutions formulated by the different workshop groups were submitted and approved in the plenary session. Resolutions on specific issues and country situations were also submitted for signing by individual members.
It was a historic moment for all progressive forces throughout the world who are fighting for national independence, democracy and social liberation against imperialism and reaction.
Ray Light and Joe Navidad - the United States - America.
The League answers the urgent need of the broad masses of the people for the creation of an international rallying force in the struggle for national independence, democracy and social liberation. It is their weapon against the intensifying exploitation and oppression unleashed by "free market" globalization and the new world disorder under the hegemony of US imperialism.
The contradictions are sharpening between the imperialist powers and the oppressed nations and peoples, those among the imperialist powers and those between capital and labor in the imperialist countries. Under these conditions, the revolutionary mass movement can advance throughout the world.
Since the collapse of the revisionist regimes, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the violent turmoil in China in the years of 1989 to 1991, the world capitalist system has plunged deeper into the crisis of overproduction and into unprecedented social and political turmoil. This belies the absurd claim that capitalism and liberal democracy are the end of history.
But the imperialist powers never tire of dishing up their ideological and political lies in the most cunning counterrevolutionary phraseology. They deploy against the people a tripartite alliance of imperialist and client states, multinational banks and firms and so-called nongovernmental organizations that are imperialist funded.
The League is needed in order to raise the consciousness and militancy of the toiling masses and the middle social strata in the common struggle against the imperialists and their socioeconomic, political and cultural instruments in all the fifteen concerns which are enumerated in the proposed charter of the League. These concerns are responsive to the theme of this assembly "The People's Demands for Solidarity for the 21st Century".
We come from various democratic and revolutionary traditions and currents in various countries. We are a broad range of mass formations, taking the anti-imperialist and democratic line and seeking to build a broad international united front in order to arouse, organize and mobilize the people in their hundreds of millions.
We are individulas, organizations, and even companies who beleive in our goals. Support comes from a number of surprising places including a shot out on their website from a US janitorial service company. On further inquiry it turns out that one of the workers on a crew that specializes cleaning up demolition and renovation sites actually was a delegate to our initial 2001 First International Assembly in the Netherlands. There is probably a rather interesting story as to how he ended up in the US at a janitorial cleaning company. Nevertheless, we appreciate the shout out. The more people who become aware of the League, the better.
Our League is inspired by the anti-imperialist and democratic mass struggles that have arisen since the beginning of the 20th century. It also reflects and draws strength from the recent anti-imperialist and democratic mass struggles that have arisen since the decade of the 1990s. Among our delegations in this assembly are those that have waged various forms of mass struggles for national independence, democracy and socialism in their own countries and on an international scale.
They have participated in international protest campaigns against US wars of aggression such as those against Iraq and former Yugoslavia, and against such US-dominated multilateral formations as the APEC in Manila in 1996 and in Vancouver in 1997, the WTO in Seattle in 1999, the IMF and World Bank in Washington, DC in 2000, the Group of 7 in Okinawa in 2000, the IMF and World Bank in Prague 2000 and so on.
It is appropriate and in its best interest for the League to trace its origins from the great revolutionary mass struggles against imperialism. The League seeks to attract and mobilize the broadest possible range of mass formations for the anti-imperialist and democratic struggle.

Q: I'm looking for a Sci-Fi book with a female protagonist who doesn't wear logos I'm looking for a near future (I'm pretty sure) Sci Fi book that may have more than one protagonist, but has at least this one female lead. I heard a passage from the book somewhere (possibly a podcast with some audio book endorsement) that was very memorable. It referenced a main trait of this character being that she took all the labels/logos off of her clothing and apparel. She was extremely design centric and even came up with a word (possibly containing a 'verbed' form of her own name) to describe the action or aesthetic of doing this to her stuff. I remember the name being short and direct and unique, but I could be wrong about that.
I believe that this was a recent title, and possibly by a rather prolific author. I hope this helps, this is kind of driving me nuts.
Thank you.

A: Is it Pattern Recognition by William Gibson? The main character is described in the wikipedia article like this:

Cayce Pollard – A 32-year-old woman who lives in New York City. She pronounces her given name "Case" although her parents named her after Edgar Cayce. She uses her interest in marketing trends and fads, and her psychological sensitivity to logos and advertising, in her work as an advertising consultant. Her sensitivity becomes a phobia towards older corporate mascots, especially the Michelin Man. She wears only black, gray or white, usually Fruit of the Loom shrunken cotton T-shirts (all tags removed) with Levis jeans (with the trademarks filed off the buttons) or skirts, tights, boots, as well as a Buzz Rickson MA-1 bomber jacket.
