Caddo Coroner IDs body found in bayou
The Caddo Parish Coroner's office has preliminarily identified the remains of a woman found dead in Cross Bayou Saturday.
The dead woman has been determined to be JonVonnie Spearman, 36, of Shreveport, according to a release. Her next-of-kin have been notified, the release said.
Caddo Parish Coroner Dr. Todd Thoma was not available for comment, but his chief investigator, Joseph Johnson, said the investigation is preliminary.
"She hasn't scientifically been identified yet," he said. "As of right now all the circumstances show it is more probably her than not."
According to Shreveport Police reports, officers were sent just after 1 p.m. to the 3700 block of Old Blanchard Highway after the body was seen in a portion of Cross Bayou just off the roadway. There, officers spoke with two men who were fishing and had found the remains.
According to a police release, it appeared the body had been in the water several days.
The coroner's release said Spearman's death remains under investigation.


1/ Just attended a talk where I was reminded that #birthcontrol was a key player in women entering medicine. True for all fields of course.
2/ Threatening access to #birthcontrol is a direct attack on equity.
3/ It's "synthetic sexism" to borrow a @ASlavitt turn of phrase. Sexism poorly disguised as health benefit savings.
4/ The societal ripples of sabotaging #birthcontrol access are so profound it's beyond comprehension.
5/ This gets labeled as a liberal issue or a woman's issue so that it can be ignored. Look at your workforce.
9/ This is not an ambiguous issue for a modern society that values health, safety, productivity, opportunity, equity, freedom, prosperity.
A friend recently asked me if I was still doing research & teaching, or if I was all social media now.
It's not about the media. It's about the work. The tedious, complicated, messy work. A bit of it pops up on social media, but that is not the point of it.
Social media is the window to the work. Twitter is a few minutes of my life each day. The rest of the time is spent doing the stuff that finds its way out to social media occasionally.
In the course of the deep dive into your work, when you come across stuff you're so excited about you have to talk about it, tweet that.
My pose while trying to figure out why my logistic regression model fit is so poor.
Me when I realize that categorical variable should've been continuous.
If you haven't put together a Table 1 in this position I'd argue you haven't put together a Table 1.
And people were like, "Oh yeah that hurt my feelings" or "I thought that was weird/out of character" but NO ONE said anything at the time!
Time for something a little different, and an idea I've been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only "concerned" about trans people existing.
" the debate surrounding the nomination has reminded us the degree to which social conservatives have lost on key cultural issues. The only way they reverse those defeats is by guaranteeing a Supreme Court majority at odds with the sentiments of voters."
"That creates a unique problem for Republicans, and an unexpected opportunity for Democrats."

For doctors, nurses, and other healers these are distressing times. The epidemic of depression, suicide, anxiety and burnout that consumes our profession is at least less hidden than ever before. I don't know anyone who is spared.
Let me share a mental model that has provided comfort to me. Perhaps it might resonate with you too. You see, I believe that we exist in two worlds: the world of Medicine, and the world of The Machine.
2) DOJ (Edward O'Callaghan) and ODNI (Dan Coats). The meeting was set up by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and the purpose of the meeting is to come to some agreement on access to documents being withheld by the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI.

Andy Bathgate retired in 1975 and passed away a couple years ago, but there is a certain five year old in Vancouver who is in love with the guy.
I love visiting my twin nephews in Vancouver. They're so much fun to be around, even though they live in a non-hockey family.
Yeah, my brother was never as cool as me.
Of course I try to sneak in some hockey content when I can. One nephew wears hockey pajamas, blue in colour with red players wearing number nine and white players wearing number 7.
I asked him if he knew who number 9 was. When he said he did not know, I told him it was Andy Bathgate! Ever since Andy Bathgate has been the kid's favorite player.
The kid and his dad were at a restaurant the other day. It must have been a cool restaurant because they were showing the Capitals/Lightning playoff game on the TV. The little guy was watching the big screen and ask his dad, "Which one is Andy Bathgate?"
There's hope for this kid! I'm so proud.
Now if I can only get the kid to remember that number seven is Phil Esposito.

11-year-old launches campaign to save the bees
Aug 18, 2021 @ 8:30pm
▶ Watch Video: 11-year-old girl is on a mission to save the bees
Scarlett Harper is fearless, especially when it comes to bees. When the 11-year-old Illinois resident learned the bees in her neighborhood were being wiped out by mosquito pesticides, she launched a campaign to save them.
"Go make some phone calls, get some state reps on board, let's do this!" she said on Instagram in May.
Harper helped create the "Bee Bill," officially known as Illinois HB 3118, with State Representative Robyn Gabel. It aims to restrict mosquito control pesticides that can be lethal to bees. After cold-calling lawmakers, Harper was able to secure 22 co-sponsors — and the bill made it out of the state's Energy and Environment Committee with a unanimous 29-0 vote.
"Bees are completely vital to humans," she said. "They pollinate a third of our food supply, and without them, we really can't survive."
Harper's parents say she developed a passion for the environment all on her own. It started at an early age, when she realized her love of gardening. When she was nine, she said she learned of a plan in her town to cut down trees for a construction project. She joined her town's Environmental Forestry Commission and spoke to officials to try and stop the project.
Harper is seen with a swarm of bees.
Harper is much younger than most of the people who are fighting to pass bills. But she said she sees her age as an advantage.
"As a kid trying to make an impact stopping the climate crisis, I have been lucky to be given a little extra leeway to be blunt and impatient with how slow progress is," she said. "I realized that early on and started using my voice to state the elephant in the room."
"Instead of thinking of my age as a disadvantage, I try to use it as a tool, because I'm a little bit younger," she added. "I cannot get bogged down in what might go wrong."
While the Bee Bill started off strong, it faced opposition from pesticide companies and landscapers, and the session ended with the bill stalled. But that's left Harper even more determined to fight for the bees. She said she hopes that the legislation will be reintroduced next session.
"We're going to win," she said.
"You're not giving up?" asked CBS News.
"Not one bit," she responded.

As a child I played with toy transformers. At first glance these transformers were just grungy trucks and old station wagons, but I was fascinated to see how they'd morph into super machines that could do the incredible. I wished that I could also morph into something super human that could help save the world. Only later did I realize that my childhood fantasy, in Christ, could become reality. It doesn't matter how average you think you look, or how mediocre you feel the job is that you do, because Christ will use you for His greater purpose. When you allow Christ to change the way you think about what you can do, you enable Him to morph you into someone new. Be transformed, believe in yourself, and Christ will use you.
Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect (Romans 12:2, NLT).

Trump will reverse plan to hold back second COVID vaccine doses and urge states to give jabs to all over-65s as Fauci slams the 'rigid' roll-out that's vaccinated just 3% of Americans in a MONTH
US will ship previously withheld second doses to states, reversing its policy
Manufacturing has ramped up such that having too few doses to give booster shots to everyone who got a first shot is not a concern, HHS Secretary said
Just 9.27 million Americans have received a first dose and 29 million doses have been distributed
Doses went first to health care workers, many of whom refused the shots
Trump administration is now urging states to vaccinate anyone 65 or older
Dr Anthony Fauci criticized original roll-out plans for being 'too rigid,' delaying the vaccination process
Mass vaccination sites are now opening up across the nation, including at Disneyland and Dodger Stadium in California and in New York
By Associated Press and Natalie Rahhal U.S. Health Editor
The Trump administration is asking states to speed delivery of COVID-19 vaccines to people 65 and older and to others at high risk by no longer holding back the second dose of the two-dose shots, officials said Tuesday.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said that 'the administration in the states has been too narrowly focused.'
The US has given just 9.27 million vaccine doses, mostly to health care workers and nursing home residents. That accounts for fewer than a third of the 29 million doses the federal government says it has distributed to states, according to data tracking by Bloomberg. Less than three percent of the US population has received a first dose.
Dr Anthony Fauci called the the US vaccination plan 'too rigid in categorizing and classifying people' during a Tuesday Schmidt Futures forum attended by Fox News.
Dr Fauci said this rigidity kept states from 'getting the vaccine doses out in the most efficient manner.'
To remedy that, Azar said, the Trump administration is now asking states to vaccinate people age 65 and over and those under 65 with underlying health conditions that put them at high risk. He said the vaccine production is such that the second dose of the two-shot vaccine can be released without jeopardizing immunization for those who got the first shot.
'We now believe that our manufacturing is predictable enough that we can ensure second doses are available for people from ongoing production,' Azar told ABC's 'Good Morning America.'
'So everything is now available to our states and our health care providers.'
US health officials still say that everyone must get two doses of either Moderna's or Pfizer's vaccines, but both offer some protection after a single dose. Partial data suggests Moderna's shot prevents up to 90 percent of coronavirus infections after one dose, and Pfizer's is about 52 percent effective after the first jab.
The shift echoes a plan announced by President-elect Joe Biden's transition team last week. The team now says the incoming administration is considering deploying the National Guard and military to aid vaccine distribution. Some states have already mobilized their Guard members, and Israel's military-assisted vaccination effort leads the world.
So far, the vaccine roll-out has been primarily to health care workers and nursing home residents, and the slow pace has frustrated many Americans at a time when the coronavirus death toll has continued to rise. More than 376,000 people have died and more than 22.6 million have been infected, according to the Johns Hopkins database.
Azar said it was now time to move 'to the next phase on the vaccine program' and expand the pool of those eligible to get the first dose.
Nearly a month after the first dose of coronavirus vaccine was given in the US, states are finally beginning to follow the suit of countries like the UK and Israel and open mass vaccination sites - including at Disneyland and New York's Citi Field, the home stadium of the New York Mets - to expedite the roll-out.
The Trump administration will stop holding back second doses of COVID-19 vaccines to ensure everyone who got a fist dose gets their booster, in an effort to speed the US vaccine roll-out, which Dr Fauci (left) slammed as 'too rigid.' President-elect Joe Biden's transition team said last week they would send all available doses to states once he takes office on January 20
BEST AND WORST: North and South Dakota and West Virginia lead the vaccination race in the US, giving about 5% of their populations first shots, while Alabama, Mississippi and North Carolina have vaccinated 2% or less of their populations. About 2.8% of Americans have gotten their first doses
A total of 29 million dose have been distributed across the US. That supply is set to double, now that the Trump administration will no longer hold back second doses
The Trump administration initially largely left it to states to figure out where, how and to whom to give COVID-19 vaccines.
Operation Warp Speed intends speed up vaccinations by distributing doses - but questions remain over whether this flood of additional doses will be a help or a hindrance to states.
States have only used about 36 percent of the doses distributed to them by the federal government, suggesting that the issue isn't having enough doses, but getting them into arms.
Federal officials pinned this issue on the states being too rigid in who can get doses, and data reporting issues.
CDC Director Dr Robert Redfield said his agency is doing a 'deep dive' to find out more details about why some states appear to be administering so few of their COVID-19 vaccine doses.
'We would rather have some lower priority people get vaccinated along with higher priority if it means...for the love of God, not letting vaccine doses be wasted or thrown away,' Azar said during a Tuesday briefing.
He added that the federal government will also no longer allocate doses purely on the basis of population. States that have high percentages of unused vaccine doses may see cuts to their weekly shipments, while those states quickly going through their supplies may see larger allocations.
Operation Warp Speed will also now adjust allocations to account for states' rates of underlying conditions that put people at risk for severe COVID-19. Azar said this will primarily affect the number of doses sent to about 10 states, but did not name them.
States have floundered while trying to coordinate with their hospitals, pharmacies and long-term care facilities.
Federal partnerships with CVS and Walgreens were intended to facilitate vaccinations at nursing homes, but Azar said the government now recognizes that isn't enough.
Getting the shot to more Americans more quickly will also mean expanding the number of places where people can be vaccinated by adding community health centers and additional drug stores.
'We've already distributed more vaccine than we have health care workers and people in nursing homes,' Azar said.
'We've got to get to more channels of administration. We've got to get it to pharmacies, get it to community health centers.'
He said the federal government 'will deploy teams to support states doing mass vaccination efforts if they wish to do so.'
General Gustave Perna said Tuesday that Operation Warp Speed will expand its distribution to 17,000 pharmacies and other locations across the US.
Mass vaccination sites have also already been launched in New York, Florida and California.
Hundreds of US medical centers - including elites like... Michigan wants to buy its OWN coronavirus vaccines and cut... The COVID-19 pandemic led to at least 16,000 extra US heart...
Disneyland in Orange County, California, is opening a mass vaccination site that can give shots to thousands of people a day.
The theme park, on the other hand, will remain shuttered, as it has been since March 12, 2020.
California is also transforming baseball stadiums, fairgrounds and even a Disneyland Resort parking lot into mass vaccination sites as the coronavirus surge overwhelms hospitals and sets a deadly new record in the state.
California's COVID-19 death toll reached 30,000 on Monday, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University.
Governor Gavin Newsom and public health officials are counting on widespread vaccinations to help stem the tide of new infections, starting with medical workers and the most vulnerable elderly, such as those in care homes.
Newsom, a Democrat, acknowledged the roll-out of vaccines has been too slow and he pledged 1 million shots will be administered this week, more than twice what's been done so far.
That effort will require what Newsom called an 'all-hands-on-deck approach,' including having vaccinations dispensed by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, dentists, paramedics and emergency medical technicians, and members of the California National Guard.
Orange County, south of Los Angeles County, announced Monday that its first mass vaccination site will be at a Disneyland Resort parking lot in Anaheim. It's one of five sites to be set up to vaccinate thousands of people daily.
The sites are 'absolutely critical in stopping this deadly virus,' county Supervisor Doug Chaffee said in a statement.
Hawaii is also finalizing its plan to open two mass vaccination sites, as is Texas.
Disneyland in Orange County, California, has been closed since mid-March 2020, and remains closed. But now it will have a new purpose. The theme park is set to become a mass vaccination site, capable of giving thousands of shots a day (pictured: Disneyland on the last day it was open in March)
US states are also finally opening mass vaccination sites like this one at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where people lined up in hundreds of cars to wait for their shots
San Diego opened a mass vaccination site prepared to vaccinate 5,000 people a day. It began vaccinating health care workers on Monday
Most states are opening these high-volume pop-up clinics as they move into phase 1b of their vaccine roll-out, meaning they will expand access to vaccines beyond health care workers and nursing home residents.
Who is included in this next phase depends on the state, however. Following the Trump administration's new guidance, most will likely prioritize seniors - anyone 65 or older.
But other groups who may be considered include: none-health care frontline workers, like grocery store workers and police officers, at-risk teachers, or those with underlying health conditions.
Some states included some of these groups in the very first stage of their roll-outs.
And these same states have more smoothly and swiftly moved vaccine dose from mass cold-chain shipments to hospitals and into the arms of Americans.
Connecticut, for example, included a wide swath of its population in phase 1a, defining this priority group loosely, including:
Doctors, nurses, and allied healthcare providers seeing patients
Licensed pharmacists and registered pharmacy technicians working on site in pharmacies
Custodial, dietary, administrative & support staff working in patient care settings
Students doing clinical rotations
First Responders actively responding to medical 911 calls or involved in care for COVID or suspected COVID cases
Home health providers, homemaker companions, PCAs
Dentists, dental hygienists, and other oral health staff
Death care workers entering healthcare settings, homes, or with exposure to decedents
Connecticut has fallen down from the leaderboard this week, according to Bloomberg's tracking.
But Governor Ned Lamont said Monday the state has give out 42 percent of the doses its received, putting it well ahead of the national average. The US as a whole has given 36.4 percent of the doses it has distributed.
Consistently topping the chart for doses used are North Dakota, South Dakota and West Virginia.
States with smaller populations are having an easier time, it seems, in part because they are getting fewer doses and rolling them out is a smaller operation.
But they are also working with fewer resources.
North Dakota also had the advantage of taking part in the pilot program that the federal government used as a practice run for how shots would be administered (without actually giving doses early).
So far, North Dakota has used 77 percent of the doses it received, vaccinating more than 41,000 people with their first doses - or nearly 5.5 percent of its population.
South Dakota has vaccinated about the same percentage of its population, and 70 percent of its allocated doses.
West Virginia has given blown through 60 percent of its COVID-19 vaccine doses, and given about 5.4 percent of its population their first doses.
The state was the only one in the union to turn down the federal government's program to partner with CVS and Walgreens to give nursing home residents shots, relying instead on 250 local pharmacies.
Southern states have struggled. Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina have given out the smallest percentage of their allocated doses, using up about a quarter of their supplies.
Larger states are also among the most sluggish. California currently ranks 44th in the nation for giving out fewer than 28 percent of its coronavirus vaccine doses.
That's troubling, considering that California is one of the worst hotspots in the US right now. In recent weeks, many of its hospital systems - especially in Los Angeles - have been overwhelmed.
The state is seeing nearly 35,000 new cases a day and an average of 477 deaths a day.
New York has moved slowly too, giving out just 43 percent of its doses to about three percent of the population.
Governor Andrew Cuomo came under fire for the slow progress and his rigid plan that saw doses thrown out.
As a result, the state on Monday expanded access to the shot to police officers and MTA workers, as well as anyone 75 or older.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday the city will also vaccinate people who live or work in shelters and grocery story workers.
President-elect Joe Biden is expected to give a speech Thursday outlining his plan to speed vaccines to more people in the first part of his administration.
His transition team has vowed to release as many vaccine doses as possible, rather than continuing the Trump administration policy of holding back millions of doses to ensure there would be enough supply to allow those getting the first shot to get a second one.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine requires a second shot about three weeks after the first vaccination. Another vaccine, this one produced by Moderna, requires a second shot about four weeks afterward. One-shot vaccines are still undergoing testing.
Moderna would have 'no problem' producing enough vaccine for the government to order an distribute second doses on an as-needed basis after distributing the current available supply and eliminating its stockpile of second doses, company spokesperson Ray Jordan told CNN.
Moderna says "there would be no problem" for US government agencies to plan second doses as needed

Injection therapy provide a surgery-free solution and enable a 62 year old patient to get back to trekking, pain free
Gordon had long put off arranging a consultation, but after seeing Prof Wilson his pain was quickly resolved
Gordon, aged 62, had always been active, enjoying his sports and activities, particularly sailing, biking, trekking and tennis. But the persistent pain of a meniscal tear made these activities increasingly difficult and uncomfortable.
He explained "I have had problems with my right knee on and off since an injury during rugby training in my late teens, compounded by a similar incident sustained in my 30s whilst windsurfing. It was getting very painful, particularly earlier in the day before the painkillers and anti-inflammatories I was using took effect."
Gordon had put off arranging a consultation, but on treks in Uttarakhand, India and Laos his knee pain made him seriously uncomfortable. As a result, he began to consider his options. He said "I started researching and Professor Wilson came highly recommended."
Gordon visited Professor Wilson in March 2018, and although Professor Wilson considered the possibility of surgery, he concluded that the best course of action for Gordon was a simple steroid and hyaluronic combined injection (C1ngal).
Professor Wilson said "I did think there was a possibility that we might need surgery, but we tried an injection and Gordon is now pain free. This is a great example of how someone can respond to simple injection therapy for a problem that was traditionally treated with surgery. I'm thrilled with the results and it's great to see that Gordon has had his busiest summer in years, getting back to his trekking and sailing."
Over six months on, Gordon continues to be completely pain free, and he concluded "Honestly, I did not have high expectations. Having resisted this kind of intervention all my life, I was sceptical, perhaps my defence mechanism so as not to be disappointed! But I have been delighted with my results. My treatment has enabled me to pursue my activities pain free, and I am looking forward to the coming Alpine ski season. I now realise that my other knee is not as good as I thought!
My advice to other patients is to get good advice and make an informed choice on the various possible courses of action."
A #kneeosteotomy proved to be a life changer for Amanda. Following an #HTO for bone on bone arthritis, she is now pain free and is walking 10-15k and planning on returning to tennis. https://t.co/tWo03d7o0L

His story and life collide in 'Tolkien'
By Jeri Jacquin | May 10, 2019
Coming to theaters this Friday from director Dome Karukoski and Fox Searchlight Pictures comes the story of stories told about the life of "Tolkien."
The story begins with war as Private Sam Hodges (Craig Roberts) finds a very ill Tolkien and makes it his mission to help him survive. Out in the field as bombs rage and gas explodes, he once again sees how his life began and led him to the field of inhumanity.
J.R.R. Tolkien (Nicholas Hoult) was a young man living with his mother and brother in a small English house in the middle of vast fields. One day Father Francis (Colm Meaney) helps the family move to the city to start again but it doesn't last long as once again Father Francis moves Tolkien and his younger brother to the house of Mrs. Faulkner (Pam Ferris). Becoming their guardian, she starts with the boys' education and Tolkien dives deeper into his drawings and writings.
Eventual Mrs. Faulkner takes in Edith Bratt (Lily Collins) and Tolkien is quite taken with her. Continuing to be watched over by Father Francis, the young man is told that he can't share his feelings about her and still go to university. He makes the sad choice to leave her and joins childhood friends Rob Gilson (Patrick Gibson), Geoffrey Smith (Anthony Boyle) and Christopher Wiseman (Tom Glynn-Carney), also known as the TCBS, to university.
As the group continues to meet, Tolkien is one step away from having to leave school when he discovers Professor Wright (Derek Jacobi). Sharing his story's with the Professor, both men become thrilled at the possibilities of the story and language. Finally finding his place in school, the war breaks out and Tolkien is called up.
Before shipping out he once again sees Edith and he finds himself still smitten with the young girl. They have a chance to explain to one another the situation as it was then but their hearts never let go of one another only to be parted again by battle.
Tolkien fights to stay alive, fights to find his friends and without realizing it would soon take all the horrors of war and create one of the most iconic stories ever written.
Hoult as Tolkien takes on the monumental task of playing a character that became famous for his books and his name becomes world wide again when the films come to the screen. I will be honest, I wasn't sure that justice could be done in the story telling of a writer who impacted my life so profoundly yet Hoult did so. The struggles of youth followed Tolkien and he could have 'gone wrong' as the sayings goes but instead he found a path that Hoult walks honorably.
Collins as Edith is a young girl understanding Tolkien much more than anyone else (other than his brother). She pushes him to continue to write stories because she saw something magical about the world Tolkien creates. Collins gives her character strength, dignity and a forwardness not seen by women of Edith's day. Meaney as Father Francis takes the role of father, protector and if that doesn't work he uses good old fashioned guilt to 'guide' Tolkien's life choices. I have to say I wasn't happy with this character and that's probably because I'm not much for emotional bullying which means Meaney did a fantastic job!
Gibson, Boyle and Glynn-Carney as Rob, Geoffrey and Christopher are three friends I'd love to have had growing up. Although they started out prickly, the story of each of these young men would impact Tolkien in ways they would never see coming. These four actors when on screen together are gripping and I enjoyed watching their friendship grow.
Now, as for Roberts as Private Sam Hodges, I have only one thing to say — stellar and well done young man, extremely well done. From beginning to end it was the life of Tolkien that was his mission and he took it so seriously that nothing would turn him from it. Sound like a story character you might know?
Other cast include Laura Donnelly as Mabel Tolkien, Guillermo Bedward as Hilary Tolkien, Nia Gwynne as Browen, Tony Nash as Mackintosh, Owen Teale as Headmaster Gilson, Lara Maguire as Rose, Holly Dempster as Beryl, Genevieve O'Reilly as Mrs. Smith and David Birkbeck as Porter.
"Tolkien" is well done, beautifully put on screen and gives the viewer a deep look inside what it took for "The Lord of the Rings" to make it to the page. Watching the story unfold is like seeing how characters were born in his mind. I caught myself a few times pointing at things I saw on the screen with an inhale and then a smile. Okay, so being a raging Tolkien fan it was like being part of a mental treasure hunt.
The cast brings together with such intensity the moments in Tolkien's life that he held on to for dear life. The story is raw and beautiful at the same time to the point where I didn't want it to end. The good news is that sitting on my library shelf are the books and films which are a wonderful solace brought by a man who took what he experienced in his life and shared it in the most magnificent way with the world.
In the end — a life of love, courage and fellowship!

When did the Easter tradition start?
The exact origins of the Easter Bunny tradition are unknown, although some historians believe it arrived in America with German immigrants in the 1700s. Rabbits are, in many cultures, known as enthusiastic procreators, so the arrival of baby bunnies in springtime meadows became associated with birth and renewal.
Why is Easter part of the church year?
Eastertide (also known as Eastertime or the Easter season) or Paschaltide (also known as Paschaltime or the Paschal season) is a festal season in the liturgical year of Christianity that focuses on celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Is Easter Biblical?
Easter is Not Mentioned in the Bible The word " Easter " (or its equivalents) appear in the Bible only once in Acts 12:4. When taken into context, however, the use of the word " Easter " in this verse refers only to the Passover.

Is the date of Easter historically accurate?
Today in Western Christianity, Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the Paschal Full Moon date of the year. The date of the Paschal Full Moon is determined from historical tables. The date of Easter no longer directly corresponds to lunar events.
Why we celebrate Easter with eggs?
Why do we hide eggs on Easter?
Why do we hide eggs at Easter? In many pre-Christian societies eggs held associations with spring and new life. Early Christians adapted these beliefs, making the egg a symbol of the resurrection and the empty shell a metaphor for Jesus' tomb. The men would hide the eggs for the women and children to find.
What does the word Easter literally mean?
Another theory is that the English word Easter comes from an older German word for east, which comes from an even older Latin word for dawn. In spring, dawns mark the beginning of days that will outlast the nights, and those dawns erupt in the east. So that tale is tidy, too.

It was Emperor Constantine who decreed that Christians should no longer keep the Sabbath and keep only to Sunday (the latter part of the first day of the week) calling it the "Venerable Day of the Sun".

" 1 Peter 1:3: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." 1 Corinthians 15:21: " For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man."
What religions dont celebrate Easter?
Denominations. The most famous Christian groups to commonly reject Easter are: the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Messianic Jewish groups (also known as Hebrew-Christians), Armstrong Movement churches, many Puritan-descended Presbyterians, and Jehovah? s Witnesses.
What was Easter before Christianity?
Well, it turns out Easter actually began as a pagan festival celebrating spring in the Northern Hemisphere, long before the advent of Christianity. "Since pre-historic times, people have celebrated the equinoxes and the solstices as sacred times," University of Sydney Professor Carole Cusack said.
What was the controversy over the date of Easter?
The controversy over the correct date for Easter began in Early Christianity as early as the 2nd century AD. Discussion and disagreement over the best method of computing the date of Easter Sunday has been ongoing ever since and remain unresolved.
What is the rarest date for Easter?
That was in 1940 – the rarest Easter date of them all in that quarter-millennium. Easter falls on Mar. 23 only twice (in 1913 and 2008) and just twice on April 24 (in 2011 and 2095). All the rest are more common than this year's Easter date.

Why does Easter have a bunny?
The story of the Easter Bunny is thought to have become common in the 19th Century. Rabbits usually give birth to a big litter of babies (called kittens), so they became a symbol of new life. Legend has it that the Easter Bunny lays, decorates and hides eggs as they are also a symbol of new life.

Jessie J Suffers Pregnancy Loss After Deciding to Have Baby on Her Own: 'Still in Shock'
By Miranda Siwak

Opening up. After deciding to have a baby on her own, singer Jessie J has suffered a pregnancy loss.
Rebel Wilson and More Stars Share Their Fertility Struggles
"💔 Yesterday morning I was laughing with a friend saying 'Seriously though how am I going to get through my gig in LA tomorrow night without telling the whole audience I am pregnant,'" the England native captioned an Instagram selfie with a pregnancy test on Wednesday, November 24. "By yesterday afternoon I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down… After going for my 3rd scan and being told there was no longer a heartbeat 💔."
The "Domino" songstress further opened up her somber news via her social media upload.
"This morning. I feel like I have no control of my emotions. I may regret posting this. I may not. I actually don't know," she wrote on Wednesday. "What I do know is that I want to sing tonight. Not because Im avoiding the grief or the process, but because I know singing tonight will help me. … I want to be honest and true and not hide what I'm feeling. I deserve that. I want to be as myself as I can be in this moment. Not just for the audience but for myself and my little baby that did it's best."

She continued in her post: "I decided to have a baby on my own. Because it's all I've ever wanted and life is short. To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again. Im still in shock, the sadness is overwhelming. But I know I am strong, and I know I will be ok."
The musician further opened up about her pain, calling it the "loneliest feeling in the world."
"So I will see you tonight LA," she concluded her post, while revealing her intentions to carry on with her previously scheduled concert in California. "I may crack less jokes but my heart will be in the room."
The performer explained that she still wanted "to sing tonight" because "I know singing tonight will help me."
"I have done 2 shows in 2 years and my soul needs it," she added. "Even more today. I know some people will be thinking she should just cancel it. But in this moment I have clarity on one thing. I started singing when I was young for joy, to fill my soul and self love therapy, that hasn't ever changed and I have to process this my way. … I want to be honest and true and not hide what I'm feeling. I deserve that. I want to be as myself as I can be in this moment. Not just for the audience but for myself and my little baby that did it's best."
The "Price Tag" singer has previously been vocal about her fertility struggles, sharing at a November 2018 concert that she was "told four years ago that I can't ever have children."
Stars Who Have Undergone Vocal Surgery: Adele, Julie Andrews and More
"I wanted to write this song for myself in my moment of pain and sadness but also to give myself joy, to give other people something that they can listen to in the moment when it gets really hard," Jessie explained regarding her "Four Letter Word" song. "So if you've ever experienced anything with this or have seen somebody else go through it or have lost a child, then please know you're not alone in your pain and I'm thinking of you when I sing this song."
Since then, the singer swapped her daily lifestyle to increase her odds of having biological children one day.
"I've always been someone that's open and honest," the musical artist revealed on the Heart Breakfast podcast in June 2019. "Four, four-and-a-half, five years ago, I was diagnosed with this disease, which is making it harder. I was told I can't have children, but I don't believe it. I believe in miracles. I haven't given up. … Over the last four years, I've changed my diet. I changed the way I live, I've done a lot of self-work. I am still in the process of it."
The London-based artist was previously diagnosed with adenomyosis, which occurs when the endometrial tissue grows into the muscular uterine wall, according to the Mayo Clinic.
"The pain I've been through with this disease is the hardest thing I've ever had to face," the "Wild" performer opened up to the London Times in June 2019. "I get severe pain, which I have to manage, and psychologically, well, having children was always a big thing for me. I may be infertile, which, not gonna lie, would be devastating."
She added at the time, "Basically, I am still hoping [to be able to get pregnant one day]. Some days it seems possible I might have children and others not. I have to accept that becoming a mother is going to be a battle. Oh yeah, I might go down the route of adoption or even surrogacy. I pray I have children the natural way, but if not, I'll deal with it."


You already know the value of a referral in building retention, value and loyalty to your brand. And those referrals help you grow your customer base at a much lower cost than waiting for customers to discover you.
The numbers make the case: Cold calls result in a 3% or less appointment success rate, where having a referral boosts your success to 40% or more. Think of the time and shoe leather you save by working mainly from referrals.
But what's the best way to get them?
There are two ways: word-of-mouth referrals or marketing automation – having a program in place that can reach out to your customers automatically. Word-of-mouth is highly valuable but can take more time, commitment and effort. Marketing automation can be expensive, but it's more practical and takes some stress off your sales team. The good news is the two methods are strong co-workers.
The tried-and-true value of word-of-mouth referrals is undeniable: In 2014, a Small Business Trends survey showed that 85% of small businesses say their customers learned about them through someone they know. And about 62% of small businesses consider word of mouth the most effective marketing strategy, says a report by InfusionSoft.
And technology has changed the way it works: Social media is the new word-of-mouth marketing. It's today's virtual water cooler. Ambassador shares the example of the recent Netflix series Making a Murderer, which at one point drove 8.46 million Twitter impressions and 412 unique tweets per hour, ultimately making it one of the most popular series that the online streaming service has offered to date.
People are interested and influenced by what other people are talking about, with 46% of people turning to social media when planning to make a purchase. That's where marketing automation comes in.
It can help build the buzz, joining technology with the old-fashioned power of word-of-mouth referrals. And marketers and businesses are catching on: EmailMonday says about 11 times more B2B organizations are using marketing automation than they did in 2011. About 69% use marketing automation for customer acquisition and 50% for customer retention.
The value of marketing automation is undeniable, too. Capterra says 91% of those using marketing automation see the platform as "very important" to their marketing success, and businesses that use the tool see a 451% boost in qualified leads.
So how does it work? Essentially, marketing automation is software that enhances your marketing plan by making it more target-rich and effective across various channels, such as email. It can generate leads by gleaning data about your prospects' activities and interests, helping you direct the right content into the right channels, R2Integrated says. That gets people talking about you, and keeps them connected with more meaningful content.
Socedo, which helps clients find leads through analyzing social media data, uses a number of marketing automation tools itself to analyze and improve its own content, optimize success on click-throughs, and improve email communications and social media reach.
Marketing automation software also can determine who your top advocates are. That helps you to stop wasting time with people who aren't interested in your product or service and instead stay focused on potential buyers and clients. A general email blast to your entire contact list won't be as effective as targeting the users who you know have an interest.
Additionally, software tools like those offered by Ambassador allow you to build a campaign with custom rewards to encourage referrals – a top way to get your message shared. Among the highly connected millennial generation, 95% say they'd like an incentive, such as discounts or cash rewards, to share a product through email or social media channels.
You also should have a strong plan for following up with prospects. ActiveCampaign says to start with a sort of mission statement – a description of the kind of experience you want your contact to have. Then consider what result specifically you'd like the follow-up to provide, such as greater sales or increased referrals. These and other goals will help direct your automated follow-up plan.
Also, as R2Integrated notes, it's important to remember that marketing automation shouldn't run on autopilot. Authentic personal experience (not just "personalized" experience) and engagement will always be the core of making strong connections with your customers, so it requires some creative thinking and strategizing.
The good news is now you have many more tools to make that happen.

CBI interrogated Sooraj Pancholi
Jun 27, 2015 521 Viewed	Alka Anand Singh Comments Off on CBI interrogated Sooraj Pancholi
Sooraj was at a hotel when Jiah died: Aditya Pancholi
CBI interrogated Sooraj Pancholi in Jiah Khan's suicide case. Aditya Pancholi was examined on May 13, when CBI carried a search operation at his residence. During the searches, CBI recovered some evidences from Aditya Pancholi's residence. According to a source, the agency is also probing criminal conspiracy angle in the death of Jiah.
Jiah's mother Rabia Khan alleges that Sooraj was in a relationship with her daughter and he should be probed for the death of her daughter. She claimed that Jiah was murdered and denied that her daughter committed suicide. The case was handed over to CBI by Bombay High Court after Jiah's mother carried out a sting operation and collected sufficient information about her daughter's suicide case.
"The High Court has directed the CBI to consider whether this is a case of suicidal or homicidal death. If it comes to a conclusion that it is a homicidal death, then further probe be made to find out who is the perpetrator of the crime and accordingly action be taken," CBI spokesperson Kanchan Prasad had said after registration of the case.
Jiah's mother was not satisfied with Mumbai police investigation and she felt that she there has been a loopholes in the investigation. Mumbai Police have already filed a charge sheet on January 11, 2014 against a person under section 306 (abetement of suicide) of IPC.
The 25-year-old 'Nishabd' actress was found hanging from a ceiling fan at her home in Juhu on June 3, 2013. Sooraj Pancholi, son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zareena Wahab, came under scanner. Sooraj, who is going to make Bollywood debut with Salman Khan's 'Hero' is alleged abetting Jiah Khan to take this drastic step.

Women: Watch out for the "Trump effect" in negotiations
Things are getting ugly.
Image: AP Photo/Evan Vucci
Corinne Purtill
"My style of deal-making is quite simple," wrote Donald Trump—or rather, his ghostwriter—in the 1987 book Trump: The Art of the Deal. "I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I'm after."
The Art of the Deal is a snapshot of the aggressive, posturing, I-win-you-lose style of negotiation one associates with boardrooms in the 1980s and '90s. Known in business textbook-speak as distributive bargaining, this mindset assumes that resources are scarce and whatever one party gets, the other can't have. It's great if what you want is to walk out feeling not only that you've won but that you've crushed the other party.
It's not so great if you want an ongoing relationship with the person or people you're negotiating against.
An alternative model is integrative bargaining. Popularized in the 1981 book Getting to Yes and widely adopted since, this negotiation style identifies what each party actually wants, and looks for opportunities to satisfy those needs. For example, a mediator resolving a standoff between union and management might identify non-monetary benefits that are valuable to workers and allow management to stay on budget.
Negotiators in public policy, international relations, business, and law have increasingly opted for this "win-win" style in complex negotiations, says Carrie Menkel-Meadow, a law professor at the University of California Irvine and a pioneer in dispute resolution studies.
Trump's presidency, however, may have interrupted this evolution.
Evidence for this comes from a fascinating if accidental experiment at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. In the fall 2016 semester, professor Corinne Low and doctoral student Jennie Huang were studying gender and negotiation, with an experiment in which randomly matched pairs of test subjects had to negotiate with one another to divide $20.
Initially, the researchers noticed that male players were less aggressive when they knew they were negotiating against a female opponent. (All communication between pairs was online, and not all pairs were told their partner's gender.) But after Nov. 8, 2016, players' behavior changed. The US election wasn't the only highly charged event that week. As the authors noted in their paper on the study (pdf), an upsetting racist incident on the Penn campus days after the election may have affected participants as well.
Whatever the reason, communication between the randomly matched teams changed markedly. Players became more aggressive with one another—especially men who knew they were playing against a woman. The confrontational style came at a cost. Players who communicated aggressively earned $1.08 less per round on average than those who cooperated.
The researchers have not repeated the study since, so it's not clear if this was a brief shift or the start of a long-term change in behavior. But it's far from the only example of contagious bad behavior. Reports of bullying and hate crimes rose in the US after the election, and hate crime rates have stayed high since. Research prior to the election found that unethical behavior is contagious, and that people living in blatantly corrupt countries were more likely to follow their leaders' example and show personal dishonesty in lab experiments.
As president, Trump has seemed to apply an Art of the Deal mentality to international diplomacy: threatening North Korea on Twitter, aggressively pushing China toward a trade war. Menkel-Meadow, the dispute resolution expert, says that this winner-take-all mindset comes at a price.
"When you 'win', there's a loser on the other side, and losers want revenge," she tells Quartz At Work. "If you know it's a one shot deal then fine, go 'win,' you'll never see the person again. But the real world consists of very few one-shot deals."
So what is a person who wants a win-win situation to do, when confronted with a negotiating partner who wants to win at all costs? Menkel-Meadow has some suggestions for how to keep a clear head in an aggressive negotiation.
Identify what's important
Before going into a negotiation, establish what you and the other party really want from this deal. Don't forget to evaluate what you have that the other party wants. "Assess what the real power is in the situation," Menkel-Meadow says. "The person may want to win, but they still need you, or else they wouldn't be talking to you."
Ask questions—a lot of them. Who are you negotiating with? What have they offered others in previous deals? What is each side's comfort with risk? What information do they have about you? "You can make up for youth, inexperience and lower power by taking the time to do your research," says Menkel-Meadow.
Don't be rushed or intimidated
If you feel that you're being pressured to make a deal that doesn't feel comfortable, stop. Ask for more time or a break until you've regained a sense of power. Fight back against arbitrary deadlines and don't agree to anything if you're feeling intimidated.
Even Trump knew this in The Art of the Deal: "The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it. That makes the other guy smell blood, and then you're dead. The best thing you can do," he concludes, "is deal from strength."

Nowadays, the use of bolted structures in the industry has increased dramatically, as in the past; these structures only included industrial sheds and petrochemical complexes and structures used in the oil and gas industry. At present, the use of these structures has grown dramatically in residential, office and commercial buildings which are built in cities.
One of the most important reasons for using bolted connections (bolted metal connections) in industrialized countries is no need for welding, the time of installation of the structure in hard situations and the speed of execution at the installation site compared to the welded structures. Also, frame skeletons which are constructed in the construction site are due to the limited availability of sufficient electricity and the use of modern welding machines (with a high and standard penetration rate), the lack of heavy industrial tool, experienced teams, correct coloring and de-rusting, etc. Not only they are lack of quality, they are quite cumbersome and have time-consuming processes that unknowingly lead to traffic jams in the passages and disturbance of neighbors.
Execution speed: Execution speed of bolted metal structure is higher than welded metal structures and the time of construction of bolted metal structure is less than that of welded joints. Due to the time of execution of projects in our country, these types of structures are suggested to reduce construction time.
The speed of installation: In this type of structures, due to the complete removal of the welding at the site of the installation, it is limited only by the insertion of parts and the closure of a number of bolts and nuts, which causes a dramatic increase in the speed of installation and minimize the installation errors.
Lower Cost: The construction of bolted building can economically have less cost to the owner, but this does not mean that in the two structures which have the same sections bolted structure is less costly. But due According to the designer's openness in optimizing and constructing sections of less weight, it is possible to easily reduce the weight of the structure by the designer.
Possibility to open the structure and reuse: members of steel structures that are connected together with the bolt can be separated and at another location re-connected to each other and construct a new structure. This issue is of particular importance in the implementation of temporary structures such as bridges and temporary scaffolds.
comparable to the structures of the welds structures that are constructed at the installation site.
Wasted Materials: In buildings with bolted metal structures there is possibility of implement and produce lighter sections and more resistance, and the use of sheets in the construction of sections and wasted iron will be minimized.
Safety and structural stability: both theoretically and practically, it has been proven that the bolted buildings because of better quality have more stability and resistance to earthquake and lateral forces.
Fire resistance: At high temperatures, the bolted metal structure is more resistant to heat and probability that the structure becomes degraded is less than weld joints.
No need for work space: Usually in cities due to the lack of a suitable place for construction, most contractors are often bothered.
Universal Extension: In all American and Europe countries, all structures are executed in bolts, except in very non significant structures that their joints are welding. One of the most important reasons for using these types of structures in these countries is its better performance and the more experience of those countries in the construction of steel structures.
Corrosion of the structure: In the bolted structures before painting, the parts in the sandblasting devices and wire brush de rusting under the control of the quality control unit which are not in welded structures, and also in the weld structures instead of zinc enriched that are used in the case of bolted structure, stainless is used, which results quick corrosion of the structure.
Working environment conditions: For proper execution of the welding joints, the ambient temperature, air conditioning, location, and the connection area shall be acceptable and in the proper conditions. While the restrictions mentioned in the implementation of steel structures with the help of bolted joints are far less. The major problem in the execution of bolted joints steel structures is due to the incorrect and inappropriate application of holes and the non-observance of prestressing in screws and their non-compliance during execution and installation. Therefore, in installing the holes in the metal workshops, the precision of the location of the holes should be determined and the perforation of the members should be done with the appropriate equipment.
Ability to use in disaster management: Due to the possibility of displacement of such structures, it is possible to move and install it in crisis areas such as floods and earthquakes.
, frame skeletons which are constructed in the construction site are due to the limited availability of sufficient electricity and the use of modern welding machines (with a high and standard penetration rate), the lack of heavy industrial tool, experienced teams, correct coloring and de-rusting, etc. Not only they are lack of quality, they are quite cumbersome and have time-consuming processes that unknowingly lead to traffic jams in the passages and disturbance of neighbors. The traditional method of frame skeletons construction on site in terms of attachment and construction in addition to mentioned items has a high cost of crane.
Due to the earthquake of our country and the disastrous events that have taken place in Bam and Kermanshah in recent years, a new approach to industrial production and standard structural skeletons has emerged, as these types of buildings are designed with a special and modern and industrial design, have a great resistance to traditional skeletons. Another economic point is the lower cost of manufacturing and installing than the usual overall method, which is significant in times of shortage of supply and increase in the price of ironmonger. Due to the design scope of the prefabricated sheets and structures, calculations, spacing and loading are also performed with high operating freedoms.
The durability of the connections depends on the degree of corrosion of the environment during service. Rust induced breakdowns cause premature failure, so corrosion protection should be considered in order to maintain the entirety and integrity of the structure during its lifetime. Bolts in steel structures are one of the important components that the integrity of the entire structure depend on them. To protect against corrosion, you can use resistant metals or protective coatings before and after installation. The use of joints made of resistant alloys is the best solution in extremely corrosive environments. Protective coatings include zinc, cadmium and precious metals such as nickel and tin, which must be used before installation. In the case of more active metals such as zinc and cadmium, coating thickness is important, but thin coatings of nickel and tin can protect the structure well in the long run.

Starting trouble
The 29th of June I started cycling from Dolisie to the border of the DRC. The ride was great, mainly small gravel roads into the hills to the border. I passed several checkpoints (police, army,…) and then nearing the border I got stopped by Immigration. They wrote down all my details and I was free to go on. Until about 10 minutes later the officer comes back on a motorcycle. He called his boss in Dolisie and told me I had to go back. They put me on a truck that dangerously drove me back. The next day the colonel came to visit me in the city, still hoping he would allow me to cross. There was no discussion possible, I had to get permission in Brazzaville.
happy to be cycling again!
That day I left, disappointed, to Brazzaville. Some years ago there was a whole new road constructed, asphalt all the way to the city. During my ride on it I neared the border a couple of times and asked there as well, without success… In a meanwhile I contacted some people at the embassy and found some connections that are willing to help me get it sorted out. The ride itself to Brazzaville was great. Sleeping in the villages I meet on the road, the people being all so friendly and welcoming! I'm feeling good and it's the dry season. This means it is not as warm and humid as last time I was here. It's making my nights a whole lot better as it cools down at night. I'm still drinking about 6 litres of water a day though.
the long good road to Brazzaville
The new road is great, but makes a huge detour around the city. This is definitely a lot faster by car, but as I'm cycling it was just some extra km's. As I arrived in Brazzaville, I'm having some obligatory rest to get everything done. I hope to be in Kinshasa soon so I can continue this adventure. The real one is about to start: cycling the DRC, which I'm very excited about!
Thank you very much to my sponsors who make this project possible.

The blind auditions will air Monday through Wednesday for the premiere week of Sept. 10.
Can't get enough of The Voice?
NBC is giving fans even more of their hit singing competition by adding another night to their premiere week for season three.
NBC announced that their premiere week beginning Sept. 10 will feature three nights of blind auditions, adding Wednesday, Sept. 12 (8-9 p.m. ET) following the previously scheduled debut on Monday, Sept. 10 (8-10 p.m. ET) and Tuesday, Sept. 11 (8-9 p.m. ET).
Quite conveniently, the Wednesday addition is at the exact same time as the premiere for Fox's singing competition The X Factor, which will feature new judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.
The Emmy-nominated reality show will feature the return of coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton who will open season three with a performance of "Start Me Up" together.
The NBC show will begin with the traditional blind audition before heading into the battle round, the brand new knockouts and finally, the live performance shows.
The knockout round was added for season three, along with the addition of the "steal" move which takes place during the battle round.
The battle rounds will start off with each coach having 16 members on their teams. They will each have two steals that they can use. If, for example, two members of Green's team are battling, then any of the other coaches can choose to steal the person who Green does not choose to keep. If more than one coach chooses to steal a contestant, it's up to the contestant to choose his or her coach.
Then, the show will move into the knockout round. Each team will have 10 members at the beginning. The contestants will choose their own song to perform. On the day of the show, they'll find out who they are paired up against, which is up to their coach. One of the contestants will then sit in the corner of the stage and watch as the other performs. The coaches will then cut their teams down to five members for the live shows.
The Voice returns for season three on Monday, Sept 10 at 8 p.m.


It's another book review and another giveaway!! Yay!! This one is a review for the newly released book, Creating Glass Beads by Jeri L. Warhaftig. This book contains a bunch of really cool glass bead projects. I'm loving the Glass Momento bead that allows you to create a window to put a picture in once the bead has been finished. I'm also loving the Silver Butterfly bead which incorporates fine silver paste and the usage of a bead press. Both very helpful things to learn about. One of the coolest aspects of this book though is how Jeri brings in project testers, other bead makers, to give their spin on the projects in the book. Another very helpful addition. I highly recommend this book for both the beginner and the more advanced bead maker. Now if you're interested in getting ahold of a copy of this fab book drop me a comment. Deadline for entries is next Friday, March 25th. And finally this giveaway is for US residents only. Thanks!!
Oh, Lark puts out such beautiful books! Please enter my name. Thanks.

Security has become the primary concern in many telecommunications industries today as risks can have high consequences. Especially, as the core and enable technologies will be associated with 5G network, the confidential information will move at all layers in future wireless systems. Several incidents revealed that the hazard encountered by an infected wireless network, not only affects the security and privacy concerns, but also impedes the complex dynamics of the communications ecosystem. Consequently, the complexity and strength of security attacks have increased in the recent past making the detection or prevention of sabotage a global challenge. From the security and privacy perspectives, this paper presents a comprehensive detail on the core and enabling technologies, which are used to build the 5G security model; network softwarization security, PHY (Physical) layer security and 5G privacy concerns, among others. Additionally, the paper includes discussion on security monitoring and management of 5G networks. This paper also evaluates the related security measures and standards of core 5G technologies by resorting to different standardization bodies and provide a brief overview of 5G standardization security forces. Furthermore, the key projects of international significance, in line with the security concerns of 5G and beyond are also presented. Finally, a future directions and open challenges section has included to encourage future research.

President Trump continued his Twitter crusade this morning against NFL protests during the national anthem, thanking the fans who "demand respect for our Flag" and applauding the public statements of some NASCAR owners regarding the anthem.
The context: Some NASCAR team owners, including championship driver Richard Petty, came out in support of Trump's stance on the protests over the weekend, saying they would dismiss or fire drivers who protest the national anthem, according to USA Today.
The protest's origin: Last year, Colin Kaepernick, then-quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, began kneeling during the national anthem to bring attention to police brutality against black Americans.
Go deeper: Our takeaways from Week 1 of Trump vs. the NFL.


Many involved in the real estate industry have no doubt been paying a lot of attention to the government shutdown and how it is affecting the mortgage business. In a recent article by Diana Olick of CNBC, she says that as negotiations to end the U.S. government's partial shutdown and avert a debt default went back and forth between progress and deadlock, applications for government mortgage products has dropped to a six-year low last week.
The article explains that, according to a weekly survey by the Mortgage Bankers Association, even though total mortgage applications actually rose higher, but only by 0.3%, this increase was mainly driven by a 3% rise in refinances. And, the survey showed that mortgage applications to purchase a house dropped by 5%.
Even though most Federal Housing Administration lenders are still able to process loans through an automated system, the government shutdown has caused FHA lenders to delay loans that need more complicated approval. And, according to Olick, the same is true for the Veterans Administration program.
Another negative seen in the government shutdown focuses on a program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is out of commission entirely.
This government shutdown impact is not good news in the industry. Home sales, according to the article, have been slowing since mid-summer and mortgage applications to purchase a property are now down over 1% from a year ago. Refinance applications are down from a year ago as well.
As it looks like the government shutdown is now ending, it will be a big sigh of relief so the housing recovery can continue to recover.
If you have questions about how this may be affecting you if you are planning on buying or selling, please give me a call and we can discuss all of your concerns.

About Chittagong
Chittagong is a major coastal city and financial center in southeastern Bangladesh. The city had a population of more than 8.7 million in 2017, making it the second-largest city in the country. It is the capital and administrative seat of an eponymous District and Division. The city is located on the banks of the Karnaphuli River between the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the Bay of Bengal. Modern Chittagong is Bangladesh's second most significant urban center after Dhaka.
Chittagong plays a vital role in the Bangladeshi economy. The Port of Chittagong, one of the world's oldest ports, whose coast appeared on Ptolemy's world map, is the principal maritime gateway to the country. The port is the busiest international seaport on the Bay of Bengal and the third busiest in South Asia. The Chittagong Stock Exchange is one of the country's two stock markets. Several Chittagong-based companies are among the largest industrial conglomerates and enterprises in Bangladesh. The port city is the largest base of the Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Coast Guard; while the Bangladesh Army and Bangladesh Air Force also maintain bases and contribute to the city's economy. Chittagong is the headquarters of the Eastern Zone of the Bangladesh Railway, has historically been the headquarters of British India's Assam Bengal Railway and East Pakistan's Pakistan Eastern Railway. A ship-breaking industry on the outskirts of the city supplies local steel.
Chittagong is an ancient seaport due to its natural harbor. It was noted as one of the largest Eastern ports by the Roman geographer Ptolemy in the 1st century. The harbor has been a gateway through southeastern Bengal in the Indian subcontinent for centuries. Arab sailors and traders, who once explored the Bay of Bengal, set up a mercantile station in the harbor during the 9th century. During the 14th century, the port became a "mint town" of the Sultanate of Bengal, with the status of an administrative center.
