By Marianne Sardelich, Infant Toddler Program Curriculum Coordinator
I really enjoyed your post on the power of storytelling during this pandemic. I also feel that listening to stories together is one of the most healing and restorative experiences for children. My school moved to online meetings a couple of months ago and lots of things have felt very different compared to experiences in the classroom. But when all the children huddle by their screens to listen to a story read by a teacher or through a screen share, it is almost like nothing has changed.
I wanted to add a book to your list of resources, though. I shared Yumi’s Rainbows in Windows with our Toddler/Preschool class because I thought it was the most approachable story about Covid-19 for young children. It addresses feelings of loneliness and uncertainty while also acknowledging that it probably also feels fun to wear pajamas all day. We ended our meeting by making rainbows. By providing children (and ourselves) with opportunities to process what is happening, we enable them to start conversations, to express their emotions creatively, and to lean on one another for support. Thanks for the great resources.
Thank you for bringing attention to both the social emotional learning of students and teachers. As we worry about what academics students will be missing out on during their time away from the classroom, it might be easy to overlook the important role that social emotional wellbeing plays in our ability to learn. Children who are scared or anxious will find it difficult to process new information or to focus on lessons or homework. In helping children to navigate those emotions, I think it is important to remember the relationships that students have with one another. Students typically maintain these relationships by chatting between lessons, saving a seat at lunchtime, or playing together during recess. By losing so much of their time together, students also lose the social emotional support and comfort that being with friends provides.
I think when possible it is important to make time and create opportunities for students to laugh together, play games, or do other fun things so that the community that is created in a classroom isn’t lost during our time apart.

title: Exotica for subtropical or seaside planting

text:
A couple of weeks back Trevena Cross received a container of small palms from Spain – a lovely assortment of very affordable but very striking palms that would fit perfectly into any subtropical planting scheme or seaside garden. They can be found across the garden centre, some grouped together and others simply dotted about, helping to create our very own subtropical look across the centre!
Hardy (some extremely hardy!) and able to create that ‘wow factor’ statement in a garden, they have been chosen because we at Trevena Cross believe them to be the ultimate in palms, for a UK (especially Cornish!) climate.
So what’s up for grabs?
Chamaerops humilis: A tough, evergreen palm, which forms a rounded clump of fan shaped exotic foliage, with that classic Mediterranean look (ultimate height approx. 2m). It withstands salt laden winds well making it a great choice for coastal gardens. A great focal point in a large pot or in the garden, in a sunny, free-draining position.
Chamaerops humilis ‘Vulcano’: A striking, compact version of this tough, evergreen palm, which forms a rounded clump of tight, fan shaped exotic foliage, with that classic Mediterranean look (ultimate height approx. 2m). Slower growing than the standard. It withstands salt laden winds well making it a great choice for coastal gardens. A great focal point in a large pot or in the garden, in a sunny, free-draining position.
Chamaerops humilis ‘Cerifera’: A blue/silver foliage variety of this tough, evergreen palm, which forms a rounded clump of fan shaped exotic foliage, with that classic Mediterranean look (ultimate height approx. 2m). Must see full sun to achieve the blue colour! Slower growing than the standard. It withstands salt laden winds well making it a great choice for coastal gardens. A great focal point in a large pot or in the garden, in a sunny, free-draining position.
Trachycarpus wagnerianus: A rare, very tough hardy palm – in fact toughest of the palms – and variant of Trachycarpus fortunei, that withstands salt winds, making it the perfect single, trunk forming palm tree for seaside gardens (ultimate height approx. 2m). It is slower growing than Trachycarpus fortunei but with stouter, tougher leaves that do not get damaged by wind gales, making it great for exposed positions, in a large or small garden.
Trachcycarpus fortunei: These ones have been brought down from our nursery – Also known as a Chusan Palm, this very hardy evergreen palm will provide a wonderful sub-tropical look (ultimate height approx. 12m). It forms an un-branched, single stemmed hairy trunk with large fan shaped dark green leaves. Small yellow flowers in early summer are often followed by blue-black fruit in autumn. It enjoys a good well drained soil in full sun or dappled shade. Great in all but the most exposed gardens.
Phoenix canariensis: A classic evergreen palm for that subtropical/ Mediterranean look, or as a lawn specimen (ultimate height approx. 4.5-6m). A great display of mature specimens (more than 100yrs old) can be seen on Tresco in the Isles of Scilly! Best positioned on a sunny, free draining slope. Grows well by the coast after a first year establishing (when it may appear to have taken a battering – but it will recover!)
Yucca elephantipes: This upright shrub/tree may have several trunks growing up from near ground level, on which, branches of stiff leathery leaves, up to 1m in length are borne (ultimate height approx. 8-12m). Flower spikes up to 1m in length can appear in summer on mature specimens for additional interest. Best overwintered indoors in a cool conservatory, where it is not at risk of frosts.
Butia capitata: Butia capitata or the Jelly Palm are slow-growing, eye catching ornamental palms with attractive, graceful arching branches of grey-green fronds extending from a single trunk (ultimate height approx. 3-6m). A lovely specimen in a sunny spot and well drained soil. It should be protected from severe frosts while it is still growing to maturity.
Cordyline australis: Although not officially a palm, this ‘Cornish palm’ is a great coastal plant, tolerating salt-laden winds well (ultimate height approx. 4-8m). Its lovely sword shaped leaves create a lovely tropical look – perfect for a Mediterranean style garden. Hardy, requiring protection from the harshest of frosts with coverage of the leaves. Choose a sunny, well drained site for this one to thrive.
Cordyline australis Torbay Dazzler: An attractive evergreen ‘cabbage palm’ tree with variegated cream foliage (ultimate height approx. 2.5-4m). A lovely focal point in a pot or a mixed herbaceous or seaside border. Grows on a single trunk until flowering – it then may initiate more trunks. Enjoys a sunny position in a well-drained soil.
Along for the ride also came a limited number of two Agave varieites – just as a nod to the succulents!.. And as great additions to our existing selection of succulents, which can be found in the Cacti & Succulent greenhouse, as well as dotted around the centre…
Agave ferox: A rosette forming, evergreen perennial succulent, capable of growing up to 4m! Hooked spines edge the grey/green fleshy leaves, with clusters of green-yellow flowers developing eventually (after many years.). Requires a very free draining sandy soil (with grit mixed through to aid drainage if possible) in full sun. Drought tolerant once established but ensure to water while establishing. Require little maintenance after that. Protect from the coldest temperatures/frosts in winter.
Agave montana: A beautiful architectural, rosette forming plant known as the ‘Mountain Agave’ (ultimate height approx. 1.5m). Originating in the mountainous regions of Mexico, it fairs well in the British climate, used to cooler temperatures than its cousins. Like other Agaves, it still enjoys a sunny spot in a very well drained sandy soil, and although hardier than most, it is still recommended to protect in the winter/coldest temperatures.
So next time you’re visiting – be sure to keep an eye out for the new range of smaller exotica (although we’re pretty sure that they will do the job of catching your eye all by themselves!)

title: Howard will not be removed from disney following backlash

text:
Following a huge backlash to the news that Disney was going to remove the documentary “Howard” from Disney+ on May 26th 2023, Disney has reversed the decision, and the film will now remain on Disney+.
Directed by Don Hahn (“Beauty and the Beast”), “Howard” is the untold story of Howard Ashman, the brilliant lyricist behind Disney classics like “Aladdin,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Little Mermaid” and creator of musicals including “Little Shop of Horrors.” Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, personal films and photographs, as well as interviews with Howard’s friends and family, the film is an intimate look at the Disney Legend’s life, his creative drive, and the process behind the music. Spanning his childhood in Baltimore, to his formative years in New York, and his untimely death due to AIDS, “Howard” goes in-depth to explore his journey to become the lyricist behind some of the most beloved and well-known classic family films in the world.
According to a representative from Disney, who told Deadline:
“The list of titles coming off of Hulu and Disney+ next week is still being finalized ,”
The spokesperson also indicated that there could be additional changes to what’s being removed.
The backlash to this film being removed, comes as Disney is set to release a live-action version of “The Little Mermaid” in cinemas next week, featuring music created by Howard Ashman. And with next month being Pride month, the social media reaction to this fantastic film being removed has not gone down well with fans.
The list of shows includes some well-known shows and films, including “Willow”, “The Mysterious Benedict Society”, “Big Shot”, “Pistol”, “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers”, “Diary Of A Future President”, “Maggie” and many more. These removals are happening because Disney is trying to write off around $1.8 billion dollars to make its streaming service more profitable.
Thankfully, Disney has seen sense and will keep “Howard” on Disney+. Hopefully, some other titles may remain after a social media backlash to the news.
What do you think of “Howard” remaining on Disney+? Let us know on social media!
Roger has been a Disney fan since he was a kid and this interest has grown over the years. He has visited Disney Parks around the globe and has a vast collection of Disney movies and collectibles. He is the owner of What's On Disney Plus & DisKingdom.

EPA Designates PFAS Chemicals As Hazardous Substances in Newly Proposed CERCLA Regulations
On Friday, 26 August 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) moved forward with a proposed rulemaking regarding how certain PFAS chemicals will be regulated in the future. EPA announced plans to regulate certain perfluroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), or “Superfund.”1 Per EPA’s proposal, two of the most widely used PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), will be designated by EPA as hazardous substances. This proposed rulemaking is based in part on the recommendations outlined in EPA Administrator Michael Regan’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap,2 released in October 2021.
The proposed rule comes after decades of urging by environmental groups for regulation targeting “forever chemicals.” The Biden administration previously committed to targeting PFAS pollution as part of its efforts to safeguard drinking water.3 Announcing the proposed rule, Administrator Regan explained, “Communities have suffered far too long from exposure to these forever chemicals. The action announced today will improve transparency and advance EPA’s aggressive efforts to confront this pollution.”
PFAS have long been used in a variety of commercial products, including nonstick frying pans, water-repellent sports gear, stain-resistant rugs, and cosmetics. Significant evidence suggests that PFAS, including PFOA and PFOS, can accumulate and persist in the body for long periods of time. Animal and human studies indicate that exposure to PFOA and PFOS may lead to cancer in addition to other serious health problems. In June 2022, EPA announced that PFOA and PFOS are more dangerous than previously thought even at low, presently undetectable levels.4
By listing PFOA and PFOS as hazardous substances under CERCLA, EPA is seeking to hold potentially responsible parties accountable for cleaning up communities affected by PFAS contamination. While most U.S. manufacturers have previously phased out PFOA and PFOS, these substances are still in limited use. Studies have shown that PFOA and PFOS remain in the environment and do not degrade over time.
Under CERCLA’s strict, joint, several, and retroactive liability, EPA requires potentially responsible parties to clean up sites contaminated by hazardous substances. This responsibility extends in perpetuity from the time of contamination and includes all parties with potential involvement with the disposal of hazardous substances. Given their extensive use and long-term persistence within the environment, PFOA and PFOS will likely be the focus of additional investigations and testing requirements at a large range of contaminated sites, including landfills, each with numerous potentially responsible parties. Companies involved in the disposal of PFOA and PFOS, as well as successors to such companies, including water and wastewater utilities, should be prepared to address those remedial investigations in the near future. The proposed rule will also require the reporting of releases of PFOA and PFOS that meet or exceed the reportable quantity, creating new compliance requirements for related industries.
The listing of PFOA and PFOS as new hazardous substances under CERCLA will create unique concerns at all stages of the remediation process. Entities involved in site remediation matters involving EPA should anticipate an evaluation of PFOA and PFOS in a remedial investigation (RI) and feasibility study (FS), and related clean-up efforts will be detailed as appropriate in future Records of Decision (ROD). Existing remediation plans will be subject to change with the addition of PFOA and PFOS considerations.
Potentially responsible parties that have previously remediated contaminated sites and subsequently entered into consent decrees with EPA must also be aware of the implications of PFOA and PFOS regulation. While consent decrees can provide a release from future liability, these releases are often limited to matters specifically covered by the settlement. Consent decrees may contain “reopener” provisions that allow EPA to bring new claims against potentially responsible parties post-remediation if new conditions arise, like the listing of new chemicals of concern. EPA’s new regulation of PFOA and PFOS could require parties who previously completed their remediation efforts to undertake further remediation.
EPA expects to publish notice of the proposed rulemaking within the next several weeks. Additionally, EPA announced that it will seek public comment on designating other PFAS chemicals as CERCLA hazardous substances after the close of public comment on the PFOA and PFOS rulemaking. EPA also plans to engage with impacted PFAS communities, wastewater utilities, businesses, farmers and other parties during the consideration of the proposed rule.

Collagen plays a crucial role in tissue engineering (TE) due to its fundamental properties and widespread presence in the extracellular matrix. In additional to providing structural support to tissues, collagen also contains cell adhesion domains promoting cell growth and differentiation, ideal for TE scaffolds. Fish skin collagen is gaining prominence as a sustainable biomaterial extracted from marine wastes and safe alternative to mammalian collagen due to minimal disease transmission risks, low religious constraints, biocompatibility. and easy biosorption in humans. This study exploits the potential of collagen from Skipjack Tuna fish as a bioactive material for skin TE.
The defatting and depigmentation of fish skin were performed in sodium hydroxide and butanol followed by acid soluble collagen extraction in acetic acid, and a precipitation method was conducted using sodium chloride. The sample was dialysed, lyophilised, and characterized. The collagen was further used an additive in hydrogel and electrospun scaffolds. Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7) were grown on the scaffolds with and without collagen and fixed for SEM imaging.
Results & Discussion
This extraction method yielded 10.02 ± 2.69 % of collagen from fish skin with a high hydroxyproline content of 14.42 ± 0.11 %. The FTIR spectrum showed the presence of amide bands A, B, I, II, and III, and SDS PAGE depicted the presence of α, β, and γ chains pertaining to collagen. SEM images showed the higher proliferation of HDFs on mats containing collagen compared to those without collagen. Collagen did not improve HDFs’ adhesion on hydrogels which proliferated as spheroids. Macrophages adopted an inactivated M0 morphology on collagenous hydrogels compared to an amoeboid shape with pronounced pseudopodia on non-collagenous hydrogels indicative of reduced inflammation in collagen’s presence.
Overall, while fish-derived collagen was found to improve cell proliferation on electrospun mats, it also reduced inflammatory response in hydrogel scaffolds.

title: Ingrowing toe nail 1

text:
Ingrown toenails develop when the sides of the nail cut and pierce into the surrounding skin. This can cause pain, redness, swelling and possibly an infection.
Common causes of an ingrown can include damage to the nail following a sports injury, an object dropping on the nail or alternatively inappropriate cutting of the nail.
Signs of an infection may include:
A hot sensation in the area
If you do suspect an infection, or pain does not settle after a few days, then arrange an appointment with your specialist as soon as possible.
Treatments may include:
Conservative Cut Back
If the issue is not too severe or infected, then your specialist may just need to cut or trim the nail. This can stop the nail from pushing into your skin and subsequently reduce pain, swelling and reduce the risk of an infection. A procedure may be advised at a later stage, especially if the ingrown nail is a recurrent problem.
If the area is infected then your specialist may provide you with antibiotics, typically this is taken for one week. If symptoms persist following, then a procedure may be suggested.
If you have a persistent, infected or recurrent ingrown toenail, or a fungal nail, then Mr Hester may suggest having the nail partially or fully removed. The procedure can also be carried out with the use of a chemical called phenol, this is applied to the nail bed to stop the nail from growing back, this is typically applied when you have a recurrent issue. This procedure is usually carried out as a minor outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia, you can leave directly following rather than being admitted into a hospital. Mr Hester will start by cleaning the toe and injecting local anaesthesia to either side of the base of the toe. Once numb, the section of the nail or whole nail will be cut down to the base of the nail. The nail will be removed and hypergranulation tissue (scab under the nail) will be removed. It’s suggested that you take a cab home and rest for the remainder of the day, you can return to non manual work the following day. For the first 3 weeks you will need to re-dress and salt water bathe the toe daily. The salt bath is typically 500ml of warm water with 3 heaped tablespoons of salt dissolved soaking the foot twice a day for 10 mins per time. At two weeks postoperative you can continue with high impact activities.
Excision of the Nail Bed
If you have had a recurrent ingrown toenail, which has previously been partially or fully moved, then your specialist may advise on excision of the nail bed. This will remove the root that contains the cells where the nail grows, this will stop the nail from growing back. The procedure may be carried out under local anaesthesia or sedation, you will typically be admitted into hospital for half a day. Mr Hester will excise the corner of the base of the nail and remove the root, alongside the affected section of the nail that is causing you pain. This is then closed with stitches. Following the procedure you should rest at home for 3 – 5 days. You should avoid high impact activities for the first 3 – 4 weeks.
Subungual Exostectomy Procedure
Ingrown toenails can also be caused by a subungual exostosis, this is where a small bone spur on top of the bone underneath your nail. This can cause the nail to lift and push into the sides of the toes. Prior to surgery X-rays are carried out to confirm the presence of the bone spur. The procedure can be carried out under local anaesthesia or sedation as a day case, you will typically be admitted into hospital for half a day. Mr Hester will start by making an incision at the top or the end of the toe. The nail may need to be partially or fully removed so that they can access the bone spur, the bone spur is removed by specialised instruments and the wound is then stitched. You should rest at home for five days following the procedure. Stitches are removed 10-14 days following the surgery. The wound should be soaked in salt water and re-dressed daily until the wound has healed. You will need to avoid high impact activities for three-four weeks.

title: The national review says that feminists

text:
Social media reaction ranged from "Uhhhhhhhhh yes," and "I really don't see a problem here," on Facebook, to Twitter user "The headline isn't just @WhitecapsFC objectifies specific female fans, but also alienates females generally."So... some Twitter user exemplified the negative reaction that caused the team to take the video down.
After that, some professors commented on the incident, perhaps because the reporter called them up and asked them what they thought. Lisa Loutzenheiser, an associate professor at the University of British Columbia's Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy, found it surprising that the team would run an ad like this because it had gotten criticized a few years ago for an ad that showed a woman's body painted with team colors.
Rakhi Ruparelia, a law professor from the University of Ottawa, apparently confronted with the above-quoted tweet, said "I could see why this would alienate a lot of women." That's not much of a feminist critique, and in fact, you have to be or play dumb not to see that this kind of ad does alienate some females.
Finally, Janni Aragon of the University of Victoria's Political Science department, said: "It's almost like I'm watching the Baywatch opening." Blechh! I had to go watch a "Baywatch" opening on YouTube to process that quote. Actually, the ad is much more of a focus on female bodies than that "Baywatch" opening. The "Baywatch" opening had just as much male torso as female, and the torso clips were intercut with shots the ocean, the beach, and various emergency vehicles. The ad is only females, and the female torso on the left is especially riveting in the chestal area.
Now, back to The National Review with the headline "Feminists: Slow Motion Is 'Sexist.'" It linked to an article in which nobody said "feminist," nobody said "sexist," and nobody said "slow motion"! (The word "sexism" does appear in a second Canadian news article linked by The National Review, "Woman in Whitecaps video baffled by sexism controversy.")
The subheading at the National Review is: "Fans say a promo video for a soccer team reminds them of patriarchal, misogynistic Baywatch." The reference to "Baywatch" comes not from a fan but from a professor, and she's not quoted as calling "Baywatch" "patriarchal, misogynistic." We're invited to imagine raging, exaggerated females hurling tiresome buzzwords, but those words don't appear in the article. Ironically, it's The National Review that sounds tiresome and hysterical.
And it's just silly denial to pretend that ad didn't invite viewers to ogle the female body. If you want to say that's fine, go ahead. But if you want to drag in all that feminism talk, quote specific feminists and let me see your work. Don't supply the jargon yourself.
Did anyone talk about the slow motion? Watching that video, I steeled myself for some major bouncing of the large breasts on the left. But they were well-restrained. They showed tremendous restraint.

ZOLA JESUS – new single
– Shares new single & video “Desire“
– Album ‘Arkhon‘ due May 20th via Sacred Bones Records
Zola Jesus releases a new song, “Desire,” the second single from Arkhon, her first album in five years, out May 20th on Sacred Bones. The single comes with a new video directed by A. F. Cortes.
A minimal yet sweeping track, “Desire” features only Danilova and her piano. The melodies ebb and flow like tides, filling the space only to recede as echoes in the air. It boldy demands compassion and care at the end of a relationship, a final request before it truly comes to a close. Like the song, the video is raw and bare, largely focused on the artist and her piano.
Danilova’s quote on the new track: “‘Desire’ was written in one sitting at my piano at home. The song was an exorcism for my pain and lack of closure around heartbreak. Sometimes songs are written simply for the cathartic effect of playing them. This is one of those songs. Performing it feels like the most tangible way to experience that closure for myself. Some days I would sit at home playing this song over and over on my piano, just to provide myself that sense of control over what I was feeling. I recorded the song at the studio in one take, and also got video while I was there to document the memory of the performance. The footage of that day is the core of the video for ‘Desire.’”Director Cortes shared their own experience with the song and video: “I’ve seen Zola Jesus perform live many times in the past. Still, nothing prepared me to see the vulnerability of this piece unfolding as it was performed in front of my camera. It was visceral, personal, and profoundly moving. From that first shoot day, I knew I wanted to complement the live performance with a parallel story: A tale of grief, loss, and the capacity of a cathartic metamorphosis to overcome personal trauma. All set in a minimal space, a transitional moment of learning how to let go of the baggage of a previous existence. In making this piece I wanted to capture a unique moment in time that reflects the vulnerability of the music.”
On previous albums, Danilova had largely played the role of auteur, meticulously crafting every aspect of Zola Jesus’s sound and look. This time, she realized that her habitual need for control was sealing her out of her art. When the frustration of being unable to create became intolerable, she took a leap of faith and reached out for help, something she had never done this early in an album’s lifetime. “At some point, I had to work with other people. I needed new blood. I needed somebody else.”
Danilova sent her demos to producer Randall Dunn, known for his work with Sunn O))) and on Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score for the film Mandy. She also began collaborating with drummer and percussionist Matt Chamberlain, whose prior work appears on albums by Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie.
“When I look back at my work, I see there’s a theme where I fixate on my fear of the unknown,” says Danilova. “That really came into fruition for this record, because I had to let go of so much control. I had to surrender to whatever the outcome would be. That used to be really hard for me, and now I had no other choice.”
In her creative process, Danilova instead began forging a relationship with the unknown. Rather than try to hold Arkhon in its entirety at every moment of its creation, she began focusing on the direct experience of making work with others, allowing for spontaneous moments of unselfconscious play. After over a decade of classical voice training, she found that this shift enabled her to ease into her singing voice in new ways, leading her to greater flexibility and agility. “I had gone through a deeply transformational process of inner growth. That annihilated a lot of tension in my voice, because my whole attachment to things changed,” she says.
Arkhon unearths buried tools for bearing grief, loss, and disappointment. The album’s title means “power” or “ruler” in ancient Greek, but it also has a specific valence within Gnosticism. “Arkons are a Gnostic idea of power wielded through a flawed god,” says Danilova. “They taint and tarnish humanity, keeping them corrupted instead of letting them find their harmonious selves. I do feel like we are living in an arkhonic time; these negative influences are weighing extremely heavy on all of us. We’re in a time of arkhons. There’s power in naming that.”
Arkhon is set for release May 20th and available for pre-order here on multiple limited edition LP variants through Sacred Bones, Bandcamp and various independent retailers, as well as on CD and cassette.

Gov. Snyder: State government is going 'Outside the Box'
September 07, 2018
Friday, Sept. 7, 2018
Governor directs departments to eradicate felony question prior to occupational licensing, state job applications
LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) has removed the checkbox reading “Were you convicted of a felony?” that precedes occupational and construction code licensing applications. The Governor today also signed an executive directive instructing all state departments and agencies to remove the felony question box that precedes job applications on NEOGOV, the website through which residents can apply for state employment. The felony conviction box will be replaced with an affirmation of good character statement, similar to what will be used on licensing applications.
The governor is encouraging private employers to follow suit, by removing the felony box from job applications, or “moving the box” to later in the hiring process. Several Michigan companies large and small have already taken this approach and boast of great success in hiring former offenders.
“The continuation of Michigan’s comeback depends on all populations and communities being part of our success,” Gov. Rick Snyder said. “We have to keep working to reduce barriers to employment, and by modernizing our system to move outside the box, we can offer second chances to many residents who are ready to work and already trained for the exact jobs that employers are desperate to fill.”
“Especially with our current shortage of skilled trades professionals, it’s imperative we work to incorporate as many people as possible into our labor force.”
Lt. Gov. Brian Calley said: ““Michigan's recidivism rate has never been lower, but there is so much more that we can do. The Department of Corrections has led the start of this this cultural change in our state.
“We have great employers in Michigan who already recognize the advantage of giving people a second chance in the workforce and have seen great results because of it. Today's announcement builds on this work by reducing obstacles to occupational licensing which will lead to a larger workforce and stronger communities all across the state.”
Kimberly Buddin, Policy Counsel at the ACLU of Michigan, said: “This is an important step in ending unfair and unnecessary practices that have excluded thousands of willing, able, and motivated individuals from gaining employment and licenses. Policies and practices like this benefit communities and employers alike. We hope Michigan’s leadership will continue to adopt additional comprehensive policies that further dismantle barriers to self-sufficiency for returning citizens.”
“Being employed is a critical factor in deterring people from criminal activity and empowers them to become contributing members of society,” said Jarrett Skorup of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. “These latest reforms announced by Gov. Snyder will increase job opportunities for Michigan citizens who need them most, a positive step in the right direction for both workforce development and our criminal justice system. Research from other states shows that these changes will increase economic opportunity and enhance public safety by encouraging dignified work.”
Additionally, LARA and the Michigan Department of Corrections signed a memorandum of Understanding allowing MDOC to determine if a Vocational Village candidate meets good moral character licensing determination, before going through the program. The removal of the felony question from the licensing process will allow for other trades to be taught at the Vocational Village, while LARA will ensure that the applicant meets all other license criteria. This gives former offenders certainty that if they are trained for a certain skill or occupation, they will be eligible to be licensed for it.
LARA will also work with the state Legislature on strategies to reexamine and modernize requirements for health care licensing. In some health professions, there are bans on hiring workers with criminal convictions also imposed by federal law. LARA will also work with municipalities on ‘Outside the Box’ policies, as several cities in Michigan have licensing requirements, in addition to state level licensing standards.
Gov. Snyder last year also signed PA 191 of 2017, removing the prohibition on MDOC hiring formerly convicted felons.

The 1xBet gambling platform collects only the personal information that is necessary for the implementation of all functions. We don’t ask more about you than we need to know.
What does personal information about the bettor mean? These are only three points:
You provide us with this information and we put it in a special encrypted format with a key that is known only by you. This is a guarantee that no one but you will have access to this information. Also, to make various types of transfers within the 1xBet system, you will enter a password known only to you. The 1xBet platform encrypts all data traffic between clients and servers. The encryption program is based on the SSL protocol.
If suddenly there is a failure in the work of the bookmaker, our platform has several additional servers at once. Therefore, the risk of disabling the program is minimized.
If you become a bettor on our platform, then keep in mind: the information that you entered is strictly encrypted using a software key that is known only to you. Third parties will not be able to access your database.
It is connected to a separate internal network and thus is not on the same mainline as the external servers available to the user. When information is required for a transaction, the user must enter the password (which is used to decrypt the information); the external server then sends instructions to a special communication module to perform the transaction and provides the password.
The interface module, which is the only means of accessing the internal database, relays this instruction to the database, which in turn uses the password entered by the bettor to decrypt the necessary information and perform the transaction.
This procedure may seem complicated and unnecessary, but it was introduced to ensure the security of any confidential information that is stored in an environment connected to the outside world, even for a moment. This, in turn, means that even if one of the 1xBet servers is hacked, the fraudster will never get access to your data. Moreover, using encryption with a key known only to the client minimizes the possibility of internal fraud.
Since 1xBet has a piece of very important information at its disposal, such as account balances and transactions, any data leak can cause great damage. To eliminate this risk, we apply two systems:
1) daily backup of all data;
2) enabling the data recovery option after any type of system failure.
Personal information can be entered on the 1xBet website pretty easily. When registering, opening, and maintaining an account, our users provide information about themselves in the appropriate form on the site.

title: Pago de tenencia del estado de mexico

text:
Tax payments are an important part of life in Mexico, and understanding them is essential for anyone living in the country. One of the most commonly encountered taxes is the tenencia, which is paid in the State of Mexico. In this article, we will explore the details of tenencia and how it is paid in the State of Mexico.
Understanding Mexico State Tax Payments
Mexico is a federal republic and, as such, taxes are collected at both the federal and state level. The federal government collects taxes on income, while state governments collect taxes on the sale of goods and services, as well as other taxes, such as the tenencia. The tenencia is a tax on vehicle ownership, which is paid annually in the State of Mexico.
Exploring Tenencia in the State of Mexico
The tenencia is a tax that is paid annually by vehicle owners in the State of Mexico. The amount of the tax is based on the value of the vehicle, and is determined by the state government. Vehicle owners must pay the tax in order to legally own and operate their vehicle in the State of Mexico.
The tenencia tax is paid directly to the state government, and can be paid online or in person at a local tax office. The tax must be paid by the end of the year in order to avoid any penalties or fines.
Vehicle owners must also present their vehicle registration when paying the tenencia tax. The registration must be up to date, and must be accompanied by proof of insurance for the vehicle.
In addition to the tenencia tax, vehicle owners in the State of Mexico must also pay for annual maintenance for their vehicles. This includes regular inspections, oil changes, and other maintenance services.
Understanding and paying the tenencia tax is an important part of life in the State of Mexico. It is important to be aware of the taxes due, and to pay them on time. By doing so, vehicle owners can ensure that they are compliant with the law and can enjoy the benefits of owning a vehicle in the State of Mexico.


title: Refugee learn to swim and employment program recognised at zest awards

text:
The Zest Awards recognise the work of the community sector in Western Sydney and celebrate community initiatives in the region. The 2021 award winners were announced at Stadium Australia in June 2021.
The CALD Academy: Refugee Learn to Swim and Employment Program was awarded the Exceptional Community Partnership Award. This program is a collaboration between several community organisations, local businesses and training providers, including Accessible Diversity Services Initiative Limited (ADSi) and Belgravia Leisure.
The program was launched in 2018 and is designed to connect refugee youth with aquatic recreation, vocational training, and employment. Participants undertake swimming lessons at Auburn Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre in Lidcombe. Some participants also undertake vocational training to become swim teachers or lifeguards.
More than 200 young people have attended swimming lessons as part of the program. More than 20 of these have completed AUSTSWIM or lifeguard training. Pleasingly, several have also gained employment because of AUSTSWIM and lifeguard training.
The teams at Auburn Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre and ADSi intend to continue the program, and there are plans for it to be extended to other Belgravia Leisure facilities in Western Sydney.
Auburn Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre Manager Liz Stranix says, “Partnering with a community organisation provides opportunity for services and resources to be more accessible and delivered more efficiently.”
She is pleased with the results of the program, adding, “Our program has benefited so many, including the young people who learn to swim and gain employment opportunities, whilst diversifying our centre’s workforce.”
Ms Stranix encourages other recreation centres to consider implementing programs like the Refugee Learn to Swim and Employment Program if they have not already done so. If partnering with a community organisation, she recommends building a solid relationship, and “if you combine with passion and commitment from both sides, a successful program will be created,” she says.
Belgravia Leisure and the Belgravia Foundation congratulate the CALD Academy team for their success, and for obtaining this recognition. This program shows the power of collaboration in local communities, and of the outcomes that can be achieved when organisations work together to provide opportunities for young people to gain new skills and employment.

EDF ANNOUNCE UK COAL BURNING POWER PLANT CLOSURE
Industry InsightsThe UK is moving towards a greener future with the announcement that it will have only one coal-burning power station left operating by the end of 2022.
EDF announced plans on Monday that it will be closing West Burton A, their Nottinghamshire coal burning power plant by September 2022.
Matt Sykes, EDF’s managing director for the generation business, said in a statement: “West Burton A and its loyal workforce have played a critical role providing power to the UK for 55 years, including during this recent winter. Since 1966, the station has produced enough electricity to meet the needs of all UK households for more than four years, a truly incredible achievement.
“With EDF’s power generation strategy firmly focused on nuclear and renewable energy – and in this key year for UK leadership on climate change – we now believe it is the right time to provide clarity to our employees and all those connected to the site.”
At the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) being held in Glasgow in November of this year the UK government hopes to convince all countries to halt all new build coal-fired power stations. They are backed by UN chief Antonio Guterres who has also called for all countries to end their “deadly addiction to coal”. At a summit held earlier this month, he described ending the use of coal in electricity generation as the “single most important step” to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement, the historic climate deal made by countries in 2015.
Along with the closure of West Burton A, Northern Ireland’s Kilroot coal plant is to be converted to a gas-fired station by 2023 and Drax power station in North Yorkshire ended commercial generation at its two remaining coal units earlier this month and is expected to shut them down for good by September 2022.

The UK has probably one of the most interesting and diverse jazz scenes in Europe. New bands such as Polar Bear, Trianglehead, Outhouse, Nostalgia 77, MA, Led Bib or Troyka (to name just a few) are constantly coming out with music that blurs the lines between jazz, rock, free jazz and pop. One band that has been around for a few years is the Twelves, originally known as Twelves Trio. In 2008 the group (then a trio) released the excellent 'Here Comes The Woodman With His Splintered Soul'. The group has moved on to become a quartet with a more open approach, mixing melodic free-jazz, some very driving rhythmic music and quirky themes that gradually stick in your head.
'Many Splendoured Thing (Pt 1 & 2)' a two part suite opens the CD with hard 'rocking' section features the wonderful guitar of Rob Updegraff and a gentler section for saxophonist Mark Hanslip, who floats over Pt 2 like a modern-day Stan Getz. The tune 'Spiders' almost boils away, guitar, bass and drums providing a turbulent undercurrent leaving the sax to weave lines which add colours to the music. One of the strong points of this band is it's ability to work rhythmically in a way that really opens up the music. The excellent rhythm section of Riaan Vosloo (acoustic bass) and Tim Giles (drums) improvise as one on the open sections or create heavily rocking grooves which swing like the clappers.
Whether touching on free-ish jazz as on 'Spiders' or 'Party Girls', or swinging on 'Kerfuffle', 'Eyeballing' or 'Mr Zero', the group constantly keeps the music cooking by merging drum'n'bass, dub, free-improv, and straight swinging jazz rhythms together.
The group seems to have absorbed many influences making for very interesting and diverse range of styles. The group tackled a traditional tune on their first album, quite a normal step since jazz (in it's early form) is all about folk music. On this album 'Shallow Brown', a traditional folk tune, is one of the highlights. The music rolls like the sea as Mark Hanslip treats the melody as if playing a tin whistle or bagpipe even, tremolo-ing by half closing the sax keys, whilst the rest of the group gently supports the tune in a lovely rubato fashion. Sax and guitar then floats upon a swell of rhythm as each one tells their story, as I read somewhere, 'like a modern day Naima'.
An excellent album, and obviously a the group that isn't standing still. Developing since it's first incarnation into a stronger unit that plays a music that is both daring and accessible.
Postscript : 'The Adding Machine' is a reference to Elmer Rice's American Expressionist play about Mr Zero, an accountant who seeks revenge after being replaced by an adding machine.

[AR] The dark forces keep forcing, manipulating and trying to wear down the opposition. The light forces are managing to resist and hold their ground.
[JB] First phase: Resistance (electrical): incandescent light (rational fire by friction)
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light with a wire filament (resistor) heated to such a high temperature that it glows with visible light (incandescence).
Second phase: LED light bulb (intuitive clear cold light)
An LED lamp or LED light bulb is an electric light for use in light fixtures that produces light using one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs). LED lamps have a lifespan many times longer than equivalent incandescent lamps and are significantly more efficient.

Quotes from the Technique of Light
“As a soul I work in light and darkness cannot touch me. I take my stand within the light. I work and from that point I never move.”
“Radiance are we and power. We stand forever with our hands stretched out, linking the heavens and the earth, the inner world of meaning and the subtle world of glamour. We reach into the light and bring it down to meet the need. We reach into the silent Place and bring from thence the gift of understanding. Thus, with the light we work and turn the darkness into day.”

Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)
Power (P) = Current (I) x Voltage (V)
Mind the difference between ENERGY and POWER
Power is a (kinetic) rate of doing work (per unit of time). Power is a measure of how quickly work can be done (according to the Plan).
Energy is the capacity for doing work in a period of time (according to the Plan). Energy is stored in electrical batteries.
A battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections provided to power electrical devices. The usage of “battery” to describe a group of electrical devices dates to Benjamin Franklin, who in 1748 described multiple Leyden jars by analogy to a battery of cannon. Benjamin Franklin borrowed the term “battery” from the military, which refers to weapons functioning together. [Source: wikipedia]

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.

And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Navigating the Post-Christmas Spending Blues: Tips from the Experts
In a recent segment on 91.1 Hot FM, Home Loan expert Paul from Broker Co discussed this very topic. Jade, the host, echoed the sentiment many feel: “Damn it. Why? I felt so good at the time.” It’s crucial to recognise this feeling is a widespread experience that many can relate to. However, the focus shouldn’t be on the guilt of overspending, but rather on the solutions to alleviate the financial pressure that often follows.
Understanding the Post-Spending Blues
As the festive season comes to a close and the new year begins, many people experience a familiar feeling—post-Christmas spending remorse. After indulging in holiday shopping, festive meals, and many activities, checking those bank statements or credit card balances can lead to a sinking feeling. It’s a common scenario that can leave us feeling financially strained. Thankfully, experts are here to provide insight and advice on how to recover from what can feel like a financial hangover.
Strategies to Manage Credit Card Debt
One of the first pieces of advice that Paul offered is considering a “credit card balance transfer”. Many banks offer promotional rates, sometimes as low as 0%, allowing you to transfer your existing credit card debt for a specific period—typically six to twelve months, or even up to two years in some cases. “It can work, but it depends on your circumstances,” he explained. While this strategy can be highly effective for paying off debts, it’s essential to approach it with caution.
If you decide to pursue this option, it’s crucial to qualify for the balance transfer. “Making multiple attempts can impact your credit score,” Paul warned, emphasising the importance of understanding your credit file before proceeding.
Exploring Debt Consolidation
For those carrying multiple debts—such as maxed-out credit cards and loans—debt consolidation could be a viable option. By leveraging any available equity in your home, you can consolidate these debts into a new loan. This approach can significantly reduce your monthly repayments and spread the debt repayment over a more extended period, giving you more manageable monthly expenses.
Paul noted, “This can take burdensome monthly repayments stretched over five years for a car loan and transform them into lower payments spread across 20, 25, or even 30 years.” This not only helps in managing immediate cash flow but also provides the breathing room needed as you navigate through financial recovery.
The Bigger Picture
As we move through January and beyond to assess our finances, it’s important to understand that many families are facing heightened living costs. These financial tools can pave the way for a smoother transition into the new year while allowing individuals to wait for lower interest rates on loans, one of which we have already happen.
While the joy of the festive season can lead to financial strains, utilising strategies like credit card balance transfers and debt consolidation can provide a pathway towards relief and renewed financial health. As always, it’s recommended to consult with financial experts or brokers to explore your options fully and ensure you’re making the best choices for your financial future.
So if you’re feeling the financial pinch after the festive season, stick around for some insightful tips to help you regain control of your budget. Let’s get started!

Real reviews, quality guaranteed.
Tragedy Strikes Duisburg's Love Parade
An event that started out as a festival celebrating the beats and jives of techno music ended in tragedy with as many as 19 music lovers including 6 foreigners losing their lives and over 340 getting injured as crowds swelled and resulted in a stampede during the Love Parade 2010 celebrations in Duisburg on Saturday.
While the exact cause behind the tragedy is yet to be ascertained, it is said that the grounds where the festival was to be held was too small to accommodate the million music fans who turned up for the festival. According to sources, the venue had an accommodating capacity of just 2,50,000 and was not equipped to handle the crowds of the estimated 1.6 million people who came for the event.
The only way in or out to the venue was a tunnel at the base of the venue, which was cramped with a growing crowd that had been denied entry due to lack of space. While many tried to make their way out or the tunnel, others tried to gain entry to the festival grounds by climbing narrow staircases, fire escapes and poles near the tunnel. According to one version, people falling off the staircase and poles led to panic and confusion resulting in the stampede.
Revellers inside the grounds were left unawares of the tragedy at the entrance and organizers chose not to announce anything to avoid further panic and another tragedy. In response to the tragedy, Love Parade's organiser Rainer Schaller said, "The Love Parade has always been a peaceful party, but it will forever be overshadowed by the accident, so out of respect for the victims the Love Parade will never take place again."
The Love Parade was an annual electronic dance music festival that started in 1989 as a free parade through
Berlin drew techno music fans and celebrated DJs from across the world.

Is there a way to allow mxing beyond 60 cycles without moving the tips out of the liquid? I need to mix samples for 30 minutes wih out removing the tips from the lquid because it causes bubbles that result in sample loss. It appears that an error occurs over 60 cycles.
There is a limitation on number of Mix Cycles set to 99, however the error you’re receiving is due to surpassing the maximum time any instrument single step is allowed to process, which is five minutes. This timeout is not adjustable; however, there is a function in the Pipetting Tools Library (part of the STAR Tools Suite which can be downloaded at this link) called PIP_MixFromFixedHeight.
This function has the same Mix Cycle limitation as a standard step, but bypasses the five minute timeout and has a parameter for End Position, which allows multiple calls of this function while leaving the tip in liquid by preventing the tip from returning to the Traverse Height between function calls (use input 3 for Liquid Level).
That’s great.I’ll try it out. Thank you.
Quick question, is this doable with the 96 head?
Unfortunately, there isn’t a single command to handle this mix with the MPH96 in the same fashion as the channels, however, such a technique can be mimicked by using the ‘MPH_AspirateFromFixedHeight’ and ‘MPH_DispenseToFixedHeight’ in a loop with each having the same End Position. Each iteration of the Aspirate/Dispense can be considered a single ‘mix cycle’, and the tip won’t leave liquid due to the matching End Position of “Liquid Level”
That’s what I thought. It’s what I was trying before I left yesterday. Thank you for confirming.

Drug: Viagra Oral Jelly
What is Viagra Oral Jelly?
Viagra Oral Jelly is a Sildenafil Citrate gel-based preparation. It is formulated to be swallowed without water which makes it easy for those who may have problem swallowing pills. The jelly comes in small sachets which can be easily opened and different flavors that make its intake convenient as well as pleasurable.
Benefits of Viagra Oral Jelly
The main advantage of Viagra Oral Jelly is its rapidity in acting. With this version, absorption into the bloodstream is faster than ever before hence more rapid onset of action with sildenafil citrate being absorbed quicker by this form like the regular tablet form. Thus, users can experience effects from 20 minutes after taking Viagra Oral Jelly.
In addition to that the fact that Viagra oral jelly offers flexibility makes it preferred by many people. It does not require water so one can take it anytime they wish without anyone noticing that you are using medication on your sexual performance.
How to Use Viagra Oral Jelly
To use Viagara oral jelly just squeeze one single sachet into your mouth and let it dissolve before swallowing. However, you can eat food while consuming jelly but don’t go for fat rich meals around your time of intake as they will slow down the process and hence delay the absorption and action.
Comparing Viagra Oral Jelly and Traditional Viagra Tablets
Despite sharing a common active ingredient, Sildenafil Citrate, both Viagra Oral Jelly and traditional Viagra tablets have different physical forms. The final choice is usually individual taste or preference.
The oral jelly offers a more user-friendly and faster-acting alternative. However, traditional tablets may still be preferred by those who are accustomed to pill-based medication or do not favor the gel's texture and flavors.
Is Viagra Oral Jelly Right for You?
If you are looking for an easy-to-use and quick-acting treatment option for erectile dysfunction, then Viagra Oral Jelly could be an ideal solution for you. However, before going ahead with any such medications, it is recommended to talk to your doctor in order to understand if they are appropriate for your medical condition and needs.
Potential Side Effects
The side effects of using oral jelly viagra resemble common symptoms of normal viagra such as headaches, flushing of the skin, indigestion resulting from eating too fast, nasal congestion due to colds or allergies and dizziness. Normally these side effects are mild but temporary; however if symptoms persist or become acute it is critical that one seeks emergency medical attention on time.
This product represents a major advancement in ED treatment which makes it much easier for many people to use. With its high speed reaction plus ease of consumption this becomes a persuasive alternative compared to conventional pills thus appealing even to people who want flexibility in their ED therapy methods.
A healthcare professional is the best person to consult before starting new medication. This is because he or she can determine the right treatment based on your medical history and requirements.


title: Cfpb fines navy federal credit union 95 million for overdraft violations

text:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently fined Navy Federal Credit Union $95 million for charging illegal overdraft fees.
According to the CFPB, Navy Federal charged customers surprise overdraft expenses on ATM withdrawals and debit card purchases from 2017-22 through its optional overdraft protection service, even when the accounts had enough funds at the time of the transactions. The credit union collected nearly $1 billion in overdraft fees from 2017-21.
Members were allegedly illegally charged overdraft fees in two ways: First, Navy Federal allegedly charged customers overdraft fees when their account had a negative balance once the purchase was posted to the account, not when they made the purchase.
Also, when customers received money through payments services such as PayPal, Cash App and Zelle, Navy Federal’s systems indicated the money could be spent immediately. According to the CFPB, the credit union failed to mention payments not received between 10 a.m.-8 p.m. EST wouldn’t be posted until the next business day. Customers who tried to use the money when it was posted the following business day were subsequently charged overdraft fees.
The CFPB ordered Navy Federal to refund more than $80 million to consumers, stop charging illegal overdraft fees and pay a $15 million civil penalty to the bureau’s victims relief fund. The fine is the largest the CFPB has obtained from a credit union for illegal activity. The credit union was also banned from charging overdraft fees caused by insufficient funds at the time of processing if there were sufficient funds at the time of the transaction, or overdraft fees from the delayed posting of funds from peer-to-peer payment networks.
The largest credit union in the United States, Navy Federal Credit Union is headquartered in Vienna, Va. As of last December, the credit union had $171 billion in assets and more than 13 million members.
“Navy Federal illegally harvested tens of millions of dollars in junk fees, including from active duty servicemembers and veterans,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. “The CFPB’s work to rid the market of illegal junk fees has saved American families billions of dollars.”
