Newham becomes first council to successfully prosecute building owner for delays in removing dangerous cladding
Newham has become the first local authority in Britain to successfully prosecute a building owner for failing to remove flammable cladding.
In a verdict delivered today (Wednesday 18th October 2023), Tan Ikram, Deputy Chief Magistrate at City of London Magistrates Court, ruled against Chaplair Ltd after it failed to meet a deadline to remove dangerous cladding from its Lumiere building at 544 Romford Road, London E7.
Newham Council pursued legal action using its powers under the Housing Act 2004 after Chaplair Ltd failed to remove dangerous cladding on the Lumiere building by the 31 March 2021 deadline imposed in an improvement notice issued by the Council in September 2020.
Work eventually began in May 2021, with dangerous cladding removed by February 2022, and through its legal action, the Council successfully argued that there was no reasonable excuse for the delay.
The successful prosecution marks a major milestone for Newham Council’s Cladding Action campaign which puts pressure on building owners and responsible parties to act urgently to complete all fire safety works required, including removing all outstanding and unsafe ACM cladding in blocks or face prosecution. It’s part of the Council’s agenda of protecting the rights of residents living in the borough.
Rokhsana Fiaz OBE, Mayor of Newham said: “Through our Newham Cladding Action campaign to protect the rights of residents in our borough, we have zero tolerance for owners of buildings delaying essential life-saving fire safety work.
“Failing to remove dangerous cladding as quickly as possible places lives at risk and, where necessary, we will act with full force using the powers we have to protect our residents.
“Six years after the Grenfell Tower disaster, today’s decision by the court symbolises a landmark ruling in our fight to raise standards and hold building owners to account in Newham. It will also help authorities across the country to safeguard the interests of their residents using the powers available under vital housing legislation.
“This monumental ruling sends a clear warning to all building owners operating in Newham that they must act swiftly in the interest of our residents’ safety first and always, otherwise we will take decisive action against you.”
In his ruling, Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram wrote: “The prosecution have satisfied me so that I am sure that a valid Improvement Notice was served and the Defendant company did not carry out the required remedial works relating to the external facades within the required period. The Defendants have failed to satisfy me that they have reasonable excuse in failing to comply with the Improvement Notice. I therefore find Chaplair Ltd guilty of the offence.”
The case will return for sentencing on Tuesday 31 October 2023 at 9.30am at Westminster Magistrates Court.

The first beta for Python 3.7 is out. It will hopefully get into Fedora
soon as python37.
After it comes out of beta, we'll upgrade python3 to it.
The What's New list is at: https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html
One thing that's interesting for packagers is PEP 552: Deterministic
Let me summarize in my own words.
A new opt-in mode for byte-compilation makes .pyc (bytecode cache) files
depend only on the contents of the corresponding source file.
If we use this, it will slow down imports, because the whole source file
would need to be read and hashed in order to verify if a .pyc file is
valid. (Currently, metadata like the modification time and file size is
To speed things up, there's an option, UNCHECKED_HASH, which skips cache
validation entirely. Using this would mean that if you modify a .py
source file installed by RPM, the changes wouldn't take effect (the .py
contents would only be shown in tracebacks).
Modifying installed files in production is extremely bad practice, of
course, but it's quite useful for debugging on throw-away systems. If we
adopt UNCHECKED_HASH, anyone doing it will have to remember to remove
the corresponding .pyc file.
Honestly, I'm not sure we want to use this in Fedora. Is anyone here
into reproducible builds, to make a better argument for this?
EPEL is a set of packages which work for CentOS and RHEL versions 6
and 7. In the version 7, we are currently using python34 and would
like to move this to python36. In doing so, we need help in both our
packaging rules and in updating a lot of packages to work for
First problem: Packaging rules.
Because there could be updates of python versions from 3.4 to 3.6 or
3.8, we wanted to make clear what python was used for any particular
library. This would make it so someone needing python-bottle did not
end up with one packaged with python-3.6 installed on a python-3.4
system. So we wanted the names to be more specific than python3 and
went with naming all the sub packages python34 or python36.
However, this was decided a while ago and it may not be the best
convention to use or one that the current python sig would like us to
use. I would like to get a naming convention cleared up and documented
so when we do a mass rebuild that the packages come out with either a
python3-<foo> or python36-<foo>
Second problem: When to do this update
We had been looking to do this in October, but it may make more sense
to do this in November after Fedora29 has shipped so that people can
help focus on this versus anything F29 related. It also gives us some
lead time to write blogs/magazine items. How does 2018-11-14 sound?
Third problem: Updating and rebuilding packages to work with python36
Below are the list of packages I found which were making
python34-<libraryname> packages currently in EPEL-7. In updating to
python36, I would like to have a combined Virtual Fedora Activity Day
where we work together on IRC. First we would get any scripts ready
and then work with release engineering to change macros in epel-macros
to point to the correct versions of python and any name changes. We
would then do a mass release bump and rebuild all the packages against
python3.6. As problems are found during that day we would make
appropriate changes and fix.
This might take 2 gos.

See also PEP 429 -- Python 3.4 Release Schedule .
We have python34 and python36 in EPEL7. python34 being the "main" one
and python36 the "other" one. The original plan  was that once the
ecosystem is adapted well enough, we can switch what "main" and "other"
is and eventually drop python34, creating room for maybe another python3
release to be the "other" next (python38 maybe?). Originally this was
supposed to happen for each release , but this was later abandoned
due to lack of manpower.
Do we want to ever switch "main" with "other"? The problem here is:
$ dnf repoquery --repo=epel7 --whatrequires 'python(abi) = 3.4' |
pkgname | sort | uniq | wc -l
$ dnf repoquery --repo=epel7 --whatrequires 'python(abi) = 3.6' |
pkgname | sort | uniq | wc -l
The original idea is that all packages would have the python3_other
macros in them  and all we need is rebuild everything in proper
order, maybe with some bootstrapping. However that never happened and
most of the packages I've seen lack the python3_other bits (no
statistics, just my impression).
Is this something we want? If so, are the packagers willing to adapt
their packages (as much as I'd like to do this, I lack the resources to
hack on 228 packages)?
The Python Maint team in Red Hat is here to help. However the drive
would need to come from the EPEL community, as now we are only guessing
what are the needs here.
I noticed that the test files (/usr/lib64/python3.7/test) for python37
are occupying more than 50% in the package size, when I was cleaning
the files in my local machine.
If we actually do not use the test files, I do not want to include the
files in the python37 package.
Just want to separate the files as python37-test sub package.
Because of just reducing the file size.
How do you think? I want to hear your opinions.
Here is the bugzilla ticket.
Separate the test directory as python37-test
Jun Aruga jaruga(a)redhat.com
Hi, this is about:
We have ~300 bugz open and blocking
Some of them are > 1 week old and hence anyone can go and remove the
mentioned (sub)packages. I've retired the packages that were for
retirement and I will retire more once they are unblocked (needs to go
to compose -> portingdb before the automation recognizes it).
I open more bugs as they are closed (I don't wan to deal with 1000 bugs
Retirement is easy. The problematic part is removing subpackages. I go
and manually choose the packages that appear not to be just simple "py
spec generates py2 and py3 subpackages" combo, but a bit more
complicated, and I leave the "simple" ones alone for now.
I'm theoretically able to remove a simple py2 subpackage in about a
minute, yet it is tedious and after ~20 packages I need to stop (before
I go crazy).
We have something in between 900 and 2000 packages to remove (there are
900 leaves to remove and we may make another 1100 into leaves as we go).
Is anyone willing to look into automating this? Write a spec depython2izer?
This usually means:
- removing python2- and python- BRs
- removing %package -n python2 and it's metadata, description & %files
- removing all %py2_build, %py2_install or their older manual variants
- removing python2 tests from %check
- (sometimes) removing %py3dir or python3 dir pushd/popd dance
- (sometimes) removing with_python3 conditionals as they make no sense
IIRC Zbyszek said at Flock that he might work on that. Is that still
true? If not, shall I draft something?

title: The us dollar weakens as concerns rise over escalating riots in los angeles and immigration issues

text:
The FX market is seeing a drop in the US dollar, especially against the yen, pound, euro, and Australian dollar. The USD/JPY fell 40 pips to 144.45, reversing about half of last week’s gains.
This decline may be due to corrections after strong market moves following the non-farm payrolls report. However, this report doesn’t clearly indicate what the Federal Reserve will do next, as some household data has shown weakness.
Factors Contributing To The Decline
Another factor could be unrest in Los Angeles related to immigration raids, which might negatively impact the US dollar if it escalates. The President referred to the protesters as ‘insurrectionists’ and has placed US troops on standby.
Although the situation in L.A. is currently contained, more protests could impact the currency. Additionally, incidents like the vandalism of Waymo cars suggest that self-driving vehicles might be targeted, which could affect the market.
This article highlights the changing tone in the foreign exchange market, influenced by economic data and rising social tensions in the United States. The shifts in dollar pairs, especially against the yen, pound, euro, and Australian dollar, indicate a reversal from the rally after last week’s employment data. Initially, this data suggested a strong labor market, but a closer look revealed weaknesses in the household survey, such as lower participation rates or fewer full-time jobs, which may have led to the dollar’s decline.
These corrections likely happened as the market cooled off after its post-payroll excitement. Selling pressure resurfaced, with USD/JPY dropping about 40 pips to 144.45, almost cutting last week’s rally in half. This change is significant, and we need to monitor whether this decline continues, especially against lower-volatility pairs like USD/CHF or the euro.
Political unrest is also a concern. The response to immigration enforcement in Los Angeles has intensified, with the president using strong language and increasing military readiness. We are keeping an eye on these developments, as they can shake market confidence. If tensions escalate, asset managers may change their exposure to US assets, which can quickly affect the dollar—even if the unrest is localized. This is how market sentiment works—risk aversion doesn’t need a full-blown crisis, just enough uncertainty to cause exits.
Impact Of Unrest And Market Reactions
Recent vandalism and attacks on self-driving car trials, especially Waymo vehicles, show escalating tensions. For traders, this creates uncertainty about the future of tech investments and innovation policies, which are closely tied to overall market confidence. This isn’t just about isolated incidents; it reflects public sentiment toward automation and AI. If acceptance of these technologies declines, it could lead to unexpected volatility in sectors linked to currency strength, such as large-cap tech or semiconductors.
In the short term, we’re watching levels across pairs for signs of further dollar weakness, especially where pullbacks have shown stability. Spot rates are likely to respond to new risk factors. We noticed resistance failing on the hourly chart before the European session, and options pricing indicates that traders are preparing for wider daily fluctuations—an unusual strategy for mid-week.
For now, we need to keep an eye on forward indicators—volatility futures, risk reversals, and sentiment-sensitive assets like gold or T-bills—for any rapid changes. The dollar’s tendency has shifted to neutral or downward in the short term, but the ultimate move will depend on whether tensions escalate or resolve.

Part 4: Starting a Business Series (A Case Example)
When you’re just getting started with your new business, structure is incredibly important. It’s a way to make progress, and a way to measure progress.
If you’re coming from a traditional job, you’re used to structure. All that goes out the window when you strike out on your own. There’s no one to answer to but yourself.
Having been through the transition myself, there are two key factors to keep you on track:
- Structure – so that you spend time on the right things, and have a way to measure it.
- Research – so that you don’t waste time making things that people don’t want.
Testing your assumptions is important. Even if you feel like you know your sector incredibly well, you have to interact with the people you are trying to serve. What’s more is that you have to start this early, even if you don’t feel like you have the time.
Here’s a closer look at the first few months, and how to divide up your day and your week so that you can be effective. Listen to Episode 124 here, in Apple Podcasts, or in your favorite pod player.
As I mentioned in the episode, this series is available in video format in the form of a free online course called How to Start a Business: A Case Example. It includes the templates, checklists, and other tools that I use in my own content strategy.
Structure is especially important to creatives – writers, musicians, and visual artists. I also offer another online course to teach creative people the soft-touch techniques I cover in this podcast. Use this link to get a discount: https://controlmousemedia.com/mwm.

The differentials on your Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge diesel pickup are some of the hardest working components on your truck. At Zylstra Automotive & Diesel in Visalia, CA, our technicians are experts in maintaining, repairing, and replacing differentials, keeping your truck reliably on the road.
Your differential - or both differentials, if you have a 4x4 - are sturdy and reliable components. However, diesel trucks are already the largest and heaviest passenger vehicles on the road, even before they are loaded down or hooked up to a trailer. Whenever your truck is in gear, and every time you hit the throttle, every ounce of torque and horsepower your engine produces goes through the differential to turn the wheels. The added bonus of the weight of the truck (and whatever you’re hauling) sums up to an enormous amount of stress concentrated at the differential. While proper maintenance like gear oil servicing goes a long way towards extending the life of a differential, gears eventually wear out, seals deteriorate, and axles fail.
When that happens, it can leave your truck incapacitated, or at the very least in a fragile state. That doesn’t mean it’s time to head for the scrap yard just yet, however. At Zylstra Automotive & Diesel, we can repair, rebuild, or replace your differential, depending on the issue and your specific needs. We always use OEM or better replacement parts, and always provide top quality service.
Whether you need your fluid level checked or an entire differential overhaul, our technicians have you covered. For the best diesel truck repair shop in Visalia, CA, call or stop by Zylstra Automotive & Diesel today.
Thank you for visiting Zylstra Automotive & Diesel in Visalia, CA. Count on our automotive repair technicians to keep your car, truck, suv, or van on the roads longer and safer.

Fine weather draws Autojumble crowds at Alford
Pitch holders began arriving at 7.30am and by the time the gates were opened to the public at 9am the popular venue’s arena was almost completely full with people selling everything from heritage household goods to mechanical parts, tools and toys.
Event manager for the museum, Derek Hart, was delighted at the turnout: “Regular autojumblers have told me this is the best turnout since the mid-90s with sellers and buyers from as far away as the central belt. We have been very lucky with the weather, it is dry and warm, making it fun for families too, as shown by the number of children and dogs accompanying the adults and having a great day out. I’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to the museum’s staff and volunteers who have helped to make this such a good day.”
Hide AdMuseum manager Ross McKirdy was also having his first experience of the Autumn Autojumble “This is an important fundraising event for the museum and as such it has been a great success so thanks to all the pitch holders and members of the public who have turned up today and made the arena buzz! A number of people have asked if we can also bring back the traditional season opening Spring Autojumble. That decision has not yet been taken but following the success of today my message is “watch this space”!”

In the year of 2003, 30th day of June, the Lord placed a vision in Rev. Victor T. Woods’ heart. Elder William H. Woods Jr. and Evangelist Deloris A. Woods allowed him to use their home as the organizing place of worship. At this meeting were nine true followers of Christ, ready and willing to step out on faith. Rev. Woods stated that the name of the church would be New Unity Church. He took New from his former church home (New Haven) and Unity from his childhood church home (Unity Fellowship). Also in the vision, the Lord placed on Rev. Woods’ heart to make Rev. Charles H. McClain his Assistant Pastor. Whereas; in this place, God is concerned about relationship more than religion.
In this place,
God is concerned about relationship more than religion.
Without a penny to our name, no savings or checking account and with the found favor of God we were blessed with a donation. The location of our new home was 3020 N. Post Road and we walked in on August 3, 2003. Rev. Woods’ father in the ministry, Pastor Raymond Hiser had given his release of blessings for Rev. Victor T. Woods to move forth in Jesus’ name. Before walking in, we dedicated our home back to God from which whom all blessings flow. Within a few months the Lord blessed us with what we needed. After getting settled in our new home, the Lord blessed us with a Mother’s ministry, Nurses ministry, 2 associate Ministers, 5 Evangelists, and 4 Deacons. We also have different ministries available here at the church.
In October of 2004, God saw fit to bless New Unity with another new home. A full circle had come in Pastor’s life when he was called to go back to his childhood church home. In preparation to move to 2761 N. Sherman Dr., Pastor stated he would need the help of all the saints for this was “our church”. On December 5, 2004, we moved into our new home with marching in and marching around the sanctuary three times, one for the father, one for the son, and one for the Holy Ghost.
Our history was founded on the vision given to our Pastor by the Holy Spirit and behind every Pastor is wisdom. Our founding mother, Carrie Mae Bradley, was called home to be with the Lord on February 3, 2007. She was a mother full of love, humbleness, and gratitude. She served on the Mother’s Ministry for 3 ½ yrs and always kept the faith. She fought a good fight and stayed in the race until the Lord called her home to be with Him.
With the help of the Lord’s grace and mercy, we have been able to sustain the Lord’s bride, his church. There have been numerous renovations to the inside and outside of the building to keep it looking nice and refreshed. While fighting strong, in the Lord’s army over the years, our visionary has been elevated from glory to glory; Pastor to 🡪 Overseer to Bishop. On May 7, 2016, the Lord commanded that two become one in holy matrimony; therefore, wedded his beautiful wife, Kourtnee D. Woods. They continue to work, pray without ceasing and stand boldly on God’s word in order to continue the good work of ministry.


title: New single and video from infinite loop

text:
Infinite Loop is a band that has, this past year especially, been making a name for itself on the local scene. Their Facebook bio may state they're a soft rock band, but anyone who has seen them perform will most likely agree that they rock much harder than that. Even before releasing debut single Another Day around a year ago, this up-and-coming band had already been honing its chops on the gig circuit, building up a repertoire and a reputation as an entertaining live act with lots of energy that more often than not spills over into the audience.
In recent months, Infinite Loop's public profile has grown thanks in part to the band placing second at the 2014 Hard Rock Rising Battle of the Bands and to an increased presence on the live circuit. This experience has clearly also boosted their confidence and motivation, resulting in more prolific songwriting and an evident move by the band to take things to the next level. The first fruit of this is a brand new single, Longing for you, which Infinite Loop will be officially launching, along with an accompanying music video during a live gig the band will be playing at the Sagristija Vault, Valletta Waterfront on Friday, November 14. D-Banned will be the opening act.
Meanwhile tune in to Radio 101's ROCKNA radio show at 7pm CET on Friday, November 7, where Infinite Loop will be interviewed by Michael Bugeja and rolling out the new single for the first time on the local airwaves.
Click here to request a free invite for the video launch gig.
Infinite Loop is Nigel Buttigieg (vox & lead guitar), Gabrijel Mansueto (vox & bass), Roberto Faure (rhythm guitar) and Duncan Borg (drums)

HEADS UP! CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT
OUR THERAPISTS ARE ALL CERTIFIED IN CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT
CDC estimates reveal that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million concussions occur each year. 5-10% of athletes will experience a concussion in any given sport. The most common youth sports in which concussions occur are boys football and girls soccer. Only 78% of concussions occur during games; the remaining 22% occurring during practices. It is important to look out for concussion symptoms for 48 hours following a head injury, for an estimated 47% of athletes do not report feeling any symptoms directly following a concussive blow. Some symptoms to be aware of include headaches, dizziness, and nausea. In a case when these symptoms occur, be sure to seek medical attention and DO NOT return to sports until cleared by a therapist and medical professional. Performax therapists offer post-concussion testing for clearance to return to sports!
CONCUSSIONS IN YOUTH SPORTS
Concussions in youth sports are more common and more serious than many people realize. When suffering from a blow to the head, a child should seek medical attention within 48 hours to be assessed for any concussion symptoms; Some concussion symptoms may not arise for several hours after the injury occurs. Children should never return to playing sports after undergoing a concussion without being evaluated and cleared by a medical professional. Base line testing is highly recommended so that we can have pre-concussion results to refer to when testing kids on their ability to return to sports.

title: Tomorrowland the most important movie you ve probably never seen

text:
If the pandemic has caused endless doom scrolling, now might be the perfect time to watch a story about relighting the spark of optimism.
By Hilary Van Hoose, Special to the Star
Filmmakers Brad Bird and Damon Lindelof took a risk in a landscape of remakes and sequels by creating a retro-futuristic blockbuster with a heartfelt original story. Despite not being a box office success, it paid off in more important ways.
In 2015, most critics panned “Tomorrowland” as a bundle of trite platitudes about optimism wrapped up in a shiny package. But this is a deeply personal story that explores optimism, not blind faith about things turning out well despite inaction.
“Tomorrowland” tells the story of Casey Newton, a brilliant girl with a flare for science played by Britt Robertson, who convinces former gifted boy-scientist turned aging cynic Frank Walker (George Clooney) that it’s not too late to save the world. The pair and a charming android girl named Athena (Raffey Cassidy) embark on a perilous yet family-friendly adventure to Tomorrowland in hopes of finding out how to prevent the end of the world.
For lovers of sci-fi and Disneyland alike, this film does not disappoint. It features everything from a Terminator-esque chase scene to a backstory about Disneyland's Tomorrowland as a clever front for the real thing, with Walt Disney as a member of a secret society of geniuses who built another world in an alternate dimension. Viewers might need to watch this film a second time because of the worldbuilding details stuffed into each scene. Can viewers expect anything less from the writers who gave us “Lost” and “The Incredibles?”
An entire generation of kids were encouraged by Walt Disney and JFK’s promises of a “great big beautiful tomorrow” where they would study civics and STEM and use their hard-earned skills to solve all of the world’s problems. “Tomorrowland” came out in 2015, at a moment when many felt those promises had been broken for a long time. Written almost as a love letter to the optimism of baby boomer-era kids who had lost hope as adults, this film explores themes reminiscent of “A Christmas Carol,” about overcoming the cynical and misanthropic worldviews foisted upon young people.
This film is even more relevant in 2021. At a time when ignoring and belittling scientists and the scientific method is prolonging a worldwide pandemic and accelerating a climate catastrophe. At a time when so many people think the only two ways to react to an existential crisis are to either pretend it is not happening or to resign themselves to destruction and enjoy the spectacle of watching the world burn, “Tomorrowland” reaches forward from the past to remind us that it is not too late to keep those promises made decades ago.
If we nurture and embrace the scientists, the visionaries, those with imagination and tenacity; “Tomorrowland” argues we can do anything — even save the world.


title: Georgia officials press briefing on election vote count transcript november 4

text:
Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger held a news briefing to provide updates on the election voting count on November 4. Read the transcript of his press conference here.
Brad Raffensperger: (00:01) We're starting the day off right. Anyway, welcome, everyone. I know that every one of you have had long nights, and probably early mornings. We're excited to report that the people of Georgia have spoken. It has never been easier to vote in Georgia. Elections matter. We held an election that was a safe, sensible, and responsible election for every eligible voter to access. Your vote counts. Brad Raffensperger: (00:33) Perhaps for the first time, we had an election day in Georgia where the wait times were below 10 minutes across the state, and we did that while experiencing record-breaking turnout, handling unprecedented numbers of absentee ballot requests than ever before, implementing a new voting system, and adapting to the requirements of holding an election during a pandemic and recruiting new poll workers. Elections matter and that was a total team effort. Brad Raffensperger: (01:05) First, I'd like to thank every early voter who heard our call and voted early. You are the reason why Georgia had success. Thank you to every election official who met every struggle and every challenge. In the middle of a pandemic, it was tough, and we've overcome all the challenges. Great job. Thank you. Your vote counts. Brad Raffensperger: (01:30) As we also pointed out, it is counties in Georgia that actually administer the elections. And all Georgians owe a debt of gratitude to those dedicated public servants across the state who executed their duties well, and in most cases, flawlessly. Over 50,000 Georgians stepped forward to man the polls in their communities after many of our long time workers had to step out because they were in a population that was vulnerable to COVID. Brad Raffensperger: (02:02) Our job isn't done yet though. And I want to thank my Deputy Secretary of State, Jordan Fuchs, for leading a great team, leading on our public service announcements that helped shape and change voter behavior from in-person voting to early voting. To Gabriel Sterling, who managed the implementation of the state's new voting system, the largest of its kind in the history of this country. And thank you to Ryan Germany, and for protecting our state law. Judges are not legislators. Jordan, Gabe, and Ryan, thank you. You are tireless professionals who are proudly serving Georgia. And lastly, I would like to thank my entire team in the Secretary of State's office for their tireless work throughout the entire year. Elections matter. Brad Raffensperger: (02:52) Counties made sure that voters had access to many early voting locations, including mega sites, like the State Farm Arena, over a three week period. Your vote counts. I'm happy to report that voters have responded favorably to using our new ballot marking devices. They found it easy to use, appreciated the security of a paper ballot, and liked seeing their ballots tabulated by the scanner. This election puts to rest the debates inflamed by those in our state, or not in our state, who have looked to sow doubt about our systems and those who have wrongly claimed there's a lack of access to voting. Elections matter. Brad Raffensperger: (03:37) Completing this general election is a huge hurdle crossed, but it's far from the end of our work. We will have, immediately starting today, working towards certifying this election and then preparing for state and local runoff elections on December 1st. And then the September Senate runoff election between Senator Loeffler and Raphael Warnock on January 5th. Brad Raffensperger: (04:04) This will require a monumental effort, because we have a short window to get out absentee ballots for the December runoff, to give voters time to return them. My team has sent reminders to counties to get all, let me repeat, all of our results counted today. Every legal vote will count. I know that many of you probably have some questions. Justin. Justin: (04:31) You're a supporter of President Trump, and you're also the state's top elect official, what do you say to people who hear the president speak and are worried that votes counted today, votes counted after Election Day, aren't [inaudible 00:04:41]. Brad Raffensperger: (04:43) Well, I want everyone to know, in the sound of my voice, that every legal vote in Georgia will count. And right now we have about 200,000 ballots that are left to be counted. With the absentee ballot process, counties worked on scanning those, as many as they could. And then they're also about 40 to 50,000 early votes that need to be counted. Every legal vote will be counted. Justin: (05:03) So is the president correct then? Brad Raffensperger: (05:05) We are saying that every legal vote will be counted in Georgia because that's our process. We follow state law. Speaker 3: (05:11) I hear you say that you want counting to be done today. Is that realistic in counties with tens of thousands of outstanding absentee ballots, counties [inaudible 00:05:20] elections? I don't know if they'll get it done today. I know you've said you communicated with the counties asking them to complete it today, but is that actually possible? Brad Raffensperger: (05:31) We're pushing really hard for that. If we don't get it there but we get the number so small that then there's no question of who actually the winner is, I think that'll be helpful. Really remove a lot of those questions that people might have. Yes ma'am. Speaker 4: (05:44) When will you make a decision about which race to do a risk limiting audit on? Brad Raffensperger: (05:48) That'll be something I'll get with our election team and we'll get that out as soon as we have that information. Speaker 5: (05:53) There's word that USPS was supposed to do a sweep of their facilities, make sure all the absentee ballots have been delivered, and that in some places that didn't take place. Do you know if that happened here in Georgia? Is that any concern? Brad Raffensperger: (06:05) Well, it would always be a concern. We want to make sure everything gets to us. Don't have anything specific on that. But that's why we also instituted the absentee ballot drop boxes. Our concern actually was that voters would wait too long and then it'd be too late to mail. And that's where we had the absentee ballot drop boxes, which was very well received by voters in Georgia. Speaker 5: (06:25) So you don't have the word that that took place then? Brad Raffensperger: (06:27) Yeah, I don't have anything specific, but as soon as we do, we'll circle back and get that information out to you. Speaker 6: (06:32) [inaudible 00:06:32] quick follow up about- Brad Raffensperger: (06:33) Can I get with this ma'am? Speaker 7: (06:34) Do you have the breakdown of what counties still need to count their votes? Brad Raffensperger: (06:38) Well, it's several counties, but we know that DeKalb, Fulton, Forsyth, has 7,000 voters. It's something when you have such a large number of absentee voters and then you have some early votes, it's really multiple counties. We're just knocking those down one at a time. Speaker 8: (07:02) Sir, can you speak to the process of absentee ballots. I know the timing's kind of a moving target [inaudible 00:07:02] today. But for those who maybe wondering why they're not done, can you speak to the delay, the difficulty of absentee ballots? Brad Raffensperger: (07:11) So, the State Election Board gave the counties the authority that they could begin the process of scanning the absentee ballots, which is very helpful. So I know that down in Muscogee County and Richmond County, they were really current with everything they had received. But then all of a sudden we also had additional ballots come in on Monday and then Tuesday, so they're being dropped in. So they had to scan those. And so they'll be getting that as soon as they can, but it is a two-page ballot. It just takes longer to get those ready for the scanning process. Is there another question back there? Speaker 9: (07:41) Secretary, are you able to provide us a breakdown of which votes are [inaudible 00:07:46]? Brad Raffensperger: (07:49) Well, I know that right now that we have... My numbers here were 52 to 54,000 in DeKalb. Right now we have 74,000 approximately, Fulton County absentees. And 43,000 early votes in Fulton County. And I have about 7,000 right now, Forsyth. We can get you the entire list, make sure we include all the counties. Speaker 10: (08:15) Secretary, can you talk through what the rest of the election process look like from the military ballots coming in to the audit certification process? What's the next part before we can say Georgia's certified? Brad Raffensperger: (08:28) Well, the next process obviously will be, make sure we get all the ballots counted, then also the [inaudible 00:08:34] overseas military ballots, to get those in and have them incorporated in the vote totals. We're going to begin the risk-limiting audit process later this week, which is really important. So many people are not aware of that. This is the first time we're doing a state-wide audit. Brad Raffensperger: (08:52) First of all, I think we a higher confidence of voters. I know there's a lot of information out there, a lot of misinformation out there, and some of it's just lack of knowledge, and we understand that. And that's why the risk-limiting audit, what that will do will verify results. So if there's a race that was, say reported a 51-49, when we do the audit then we can verify what the result is and we have over a 90% confidence level. That gives people additional assurance. Brad Raffensperger: (09:16) I think also having that paper ballot, voters were very comfortable. They just gave him that comfort feeling. They looked at it before they cast their ballot. And that's a good thing also. Then by Friday, November 13th, we then will have the certification. So nothing is certified until after we do the risk-limiting audit. Speaker 11: (09:36) And then with the presidential race probably going to be so close, and even some [inaudible 00:09:41] within the margin, can you talk about what the procedures are [crosstalk 00:09:45]? Brad Raffensperger: (09:45) Well, if there was a race that was in half percent, it is your right as the candidate that is close but not over the top, that you can ask for a recount. So that we actually could have a request for say, a state representative, County commission race, or any race that's within half percent. And we'll just wait till we get every ballot counted. And that's why it's very important we follow through the process. Speaker 11: (10:07) What does that process look like with the new voting [inaudible 00:10:09]? Will it be a hand? Brad Raffensperger: (10:11) No it'll be actually pulling out, running those through, and then it'll be actually seeing where that brings us, and then you're looking at the words that are on the ballot at some point. Speaker 12: (10:20) Mr. Secretary, can you explain what you know about what's happening in Gwinnett County? Apparently they're having some issues with scanning, or they may have to re-scan thousands of ballots. Brad Raffensperger: (10:30) Well, if they do, they're follow through that. That's the advantage of having the verifiable paper ballot, that you can re-scan that. So that's why if some of the ballots do kick out. And the reason they kick out is everyone, if they don't fill out the ballot correctly or they put an X or they circle a name, that's why we have the adjudication panels for Republican, Democrat, and then the election official, to have three sets of eyes on there to verify that. So we want to at least be a two, one adjudication vote on each ballot so we can make sure that we capture the correct voter intent. Speaker 13: (11:04) If there are legal challenges made to votes cast before 7:00 yesterday, absentee ballots, will your office and the state defend those ballots against legal challenges? Brad Raffensperger: (11:15) Yeah, we want to make sure that we follow state law. We're always going to look at what is the state law. And that's why Ryan Germany, our legal counsel, can answer any legal questions you have. We want to make sure the law is very clear and we follow the state law and we don't believe that judges should legislate. Speaker 14: (11:38) Can we just get a quick assessment from you of the timing [inaudible 00:11:39] county? Is this taking longer than you expected to take, and why? Brad Raffensperger: (11:39) Oh no, it's really going much quicker. And that's why we're really pleased with the State Election Board allowing us to scan that. If you look at some of these states, this morning is when they actually opened up their absentee ballot boxes, and that's when they started actually the process of separating out absentee ballots. That's a very extensive process, verifying the signature and going through there, separating it out. We have saved days and days. You're going to be waiting a long time at some of these states, much to many people's consternation, because we understand it's a close election. Speaker 15: (12:09) So you're saying this is right on schedule? Brad Raffensperger: (12:10) Yeah, we're doing fine. And we're really pleased with... We'll be off everyone's radar and they'll be worried about the states up north. Speaker 16: (12:17) Your website doesn't keep up with the absentee ballot, the [inaudible 00:12:20]. Brad Raffensperger: (12:20) Right. Yeah. As it's getting reported, then it'll be just added to that total. Speaker 16: (12:24) So how do private citizens keep up with that? Brad Raffensperger: (12:28) It's a process and we just keep on adding that. And then eventually when we have them all done, we'll notify, or put a note there that these are the final totals for that particular county. Speaker 17: (12:39) We've got time for [inaudible 00:12:40]. Brad Raffensperger: (12:42) Yes, sir. Speaker 18: (12:44) [inaudible 00:12:44] was about rejected ballots. I know we talked about that last week. Now that these are coming in, where are we [inaudible 00:12:50] you said about the 1% last time, have you heard anything about rejected ballots, and what happened to [inaudible 00:12:55]? Brad Raffensperger: (12:56) Well, yes. Last time we actually had about 1%, but of that, 75% of those rejected ballots were actually received late. So very few of those actually were rejected by the adjudication panel. And they actually looked down at that. All three of the folks, two out of the three folks, were saying, "Yeah, yeah, they really wanted Mary for this race here. They really wanted Bob for that race there." And that's a good thing. So very little of the actual ones that get through the adjudication panel are being rejected. Brad Raffensperger: (13:25) So thank you very much. As we get more information, we'll get that to you. If you have any legal questions, Ryan Germany's here. And we're going to get these results out to you as soon as we can. Thank you very much.

title: A novel method to precisely deliver therapeutics inside the body

text:
Ultrasound-sensitive fluoro-protein nanoemulsions can be acoustically tracked, guided, and activated for on-demand delivery of proteins, including antibodies, using diagnostic ultrasound.
A new way to deliver therapeutic proteins inside the body uses an acoustically sensitive carrier to encapsulate the proteins and ultrasound to image and guide the package to the exact location required, according to Penn State researchers. Ultrasound then breaks the capsule, allowing the protein to enter the cell.
“When you expose the particle to ultrasound it opens a hole in the cell membrane that lasts for a couple of microseconds,” said Scott Medina, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, Penn State. “We can use this temporary opening to deliver antibodies, which are attractive therapeutic molecules in precision medicine that cannot otherwise get inside cells.”
These antibodies are emerging therapeutics for cancers, infectious diseases and rheumatoid arthritis, he said.
But getting the protein inside the nanoparticle carrier was not easy, which is why other researchers have had to resort to complicated and often poorly performing methods, such as attaching the cargo to the exterior of nanoparticles, resulting in inefficient protein release and off-target delivery.
The challenge with the new method was that the protein did not want to interact with the interior of the particle, which is made of a fluorous liquid, similar to liquid Teflon. Medina’s doctoral student, Janna Sloand, came up with a creative work around — a fluorous mask. These chemical masks have a counterbalance of polarity and fluorine content that allows the protein to interact with the fluorous liquid medium while maintaining the protein’s folded state and bioactivity.
“We had a lot of challenges developing this new method,” said Sloand, first author on the paper published recently in ACS Nano. “The most difficult was figuring out what kind of chemicals could mask the protein. That was definitely my eureka moment when I saw that it worked.”
In future work, the team will explore the use of their ultrasound-programmable material as a platform for image-guided delivery of therapeutic proteins and gene editing tools.
In related therapeutic applications, they are leveraging this technology to deliver antibodies that can alter abnormal signaling pathways in tumor cells to effectively ‘turn-off’ their malignant traits. In other work they are delivering gene editing tools, like CRISPR constructs, to enable ultrasound-controlled genome engineering of cells in complex 3D tissue microenvironments.
Importantly, these delivery applications can all be performed using ultrasound techniques already employed in hospitals, which they hope will enable the rapid translation of this technology for precision healthcare.

title: Are nfl players required to get vaccinated

text:
No, NFL players are not required to get vaccinated. However, the league strongly recommends it and is working with the Players Association to encourage players to get vaccinated.
In December 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in people 16 years of age and older. The FDA also authorized the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in people 18 years of age and older.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend that health care workers and long-term care facility residents should be first in line to receive the vaccine, followed by people 75 years of age and older, frontline essential workers such as police officers and grocery store workers, and people aged 65-74 years.
The NFL has not mandated that players must be vaccinated, but they have “strongly encouraged” players to get vaccinated. In a memo sent to NFL teams, the league said that it would provide players with information about the vaccines “as it becomes available.”
The NFL is also working with the Players Association to develop a plan for how to best protect players and staff from COVID-19. The league has said that it will continue to consult with medical experts on how to keep players safe during the season.
What the NFL Says
The NFL has come out and said that players are not required to get vaccinated for the upcoming season. However, they are strongly encourage to do so. The NFL has also said that if a player does choose to get vaccinated, they will not be required to wear a mask on the sidelines.
The NFL’s Official Statement
The NFL issued a statement on Wednesday saying that it “strongly advises” players to get vaccinated for the flu, but stopped short of making the shots mandatory.
“The NFL strongly advises all players to get vaccinated for the flu each year,” said a statement from the league. “The best time to get a flu shot is October through mid-November, although getting vaccinated later can still be helpful. Vaccination is especially important for people at high risk for serious complications from influenza.”
However, the NFL stopped short of requiring players to get the shots, as some other professional sports leagues have done.
“Players are not mandated to receive the flu vaccine, but we strongly encourage them to do so,” the statement said. “We will continue to work with our team physicians and trainers on the best ways to keep our players healthy during the season and will provide additional information as it becomes available.”
What Players are Saying
Many NFL players are hesitant to get the vaccine because of the side effects. Some say that they don’t want to risk the potential side effects, while others believe that the vaccine isn’t effective. A few players have even said that they believe the vaccine is a “scheme” to control players.
What the Science Says
The science is clear: Vaccines are effective at preventing disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get vaccinated to protect themselves from serious diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella. The NFL has a long history of working with the CDC to promote the importance of vaccines, and all NFL players are required to get vaccinated.
The Efficacy of the Vaccine
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has stated that the vaccine is effective in preventing NFL players from becoming ill with COVID-19. The CDC also recommends that all NFL players get vaccinated. However, the vaccine is not mandatory for NFL players.
The Risks of Not Getting Vaccinated
There are many risks associated with not getting vaccinated, both for the individual and for the community. Vaccine-preventable illnesses are more likely to cause severe illness, hospitalization, or death in people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients and those receiving radiation therapy or long-term corticosteroid treatment. Infections can also be more severe in pregnant women and their newborns.
Community immunity, or herd immunity, protects people who cannot get vaccinated because of health reasons. When enough people in a community are vaccinated against a disease, it becomes difficult for an outbreak of that disease to start because there aren’t enough susceptible people for the disease to spread. If too many people opt out of vaccines, it puts the entire community at risk.
In conclusion, NFL players are not required to get vaccinated against the flu, but it is highly recommended. The best way to protect yourself and your team is to get vaccinated and practice good hygiene habits.

7.4. A PROFESSIONAL TEACHER ORGANIZATIONS IN USA:
1.National Education Association (NEA)The Nation's Largest Professional Employee Organization:
The National Education Association (NEA), the nation's larges professional employee organization, is committed to advancing the cause of public education. NEA's 3.2 million members in 2008 work at every level of education from pre-school to university graduate programs. NEA has affiliate organizations in every state and in more than 14,000 communities across the United States in 2008.
NEA is a volunteer-based organization supported by a network of staff at the local, state, and national levels.At the local level, more than 14,000 NEA local affiliate organizations are active in a variety of activities as determined by the local members. These may range from raising funds for scholarship programs to conducting professional workshops on issues that affect faculty and school support staff to bargaining contracts for school district employee.
At the state level, NEA affiliate activities are equally wide-ranging. NEA state affiliates, for instance, regularly lobby legislators for the resources schools need, campaign for higher professional standards for the teaching profession, and file legal actions to protect academic freedom and the rights of school employees.
At the national level, from its headquarters in Washington, D.C., NEA lobbies Congress and federal agencies on behalf of its members and public schools, supports and coordinates innovative projects, works with other education organizations and friends of public education, provides training and assistance to its affiliates, and generally conducts activities consistent with the policies set by its elected governing bodies.
At the international level, NEA is linking educators around the world in an ongoing dialogue dedicated to making schools as effective as they can be.
Vision, Mission and Values
NEA has remained constant in its commitment to its original mission, as evidenced by our current organizational purpose which includes our Vision, Mission and Values.
NEA also believes every child in America, regardless of family income or place of residence, deserves a quality education. In pursuing its mission, NEA has determined that we will focus the energy and resources of our 3.2 million members on improving the quality of teaching, increasing student achievement and making schools safer, better places to learn.
History of the National Education Association (NEA)
In 1857, one hundred educators answered a national call to unite as one voice in the cause of public education. At the time, learning to read and write was a luxury for most children---and a crime for many Black children. One hundred and fifty years later, public education and the profession of teaching are transformed. In 1966 we joined forces with the American Teachers Association. Since then, our voice had swelled to 3.2 million members, and what was once a privilege for a fortunate few is now an essential right for every American child, regardless of family income or place of residence.

title: Jungle drops spirited talk about it video ahead of new album

text:
Outside is pretty much open and folks are in need of a proper soundtrack to accompany their summertime shenanigans. Enter UK electronic duo Jungle armed with their latest single “Talk About It.” The vibrant track is just what we need to fuel any fun and foolery we encounter as we ease into the post-pandemic world. Though the lyrics capture the hesitation one feels when embarking on a new love affair, the lively percussion and groovy bass line dive right in from the moment the beat drops.
It’s only right that the accompanying visual would match the energy of the spirited track and that’s exactly what co-directors J Lloyd and Charlie Di Placido gave us. We nearly lose our breath as we watch a group of talented dancers leave it all on the floor and work out choreography by Nathaniel Williams and Cece Nama. “The video is high energy and was one of the last we shot during the week of filming,” explains Jungle in a statement. “You can see that the dancers are at their limit and that gives an incredible atmosphere to the performances.”
Watch the video for “Talk About It” below, and pre-order Jungle’s third album Loving In Stereo, which is set to drop on August 13th. The forthcoming project will serve as the duo’s first release on their own independent label, Caiola Records, and is described as the “most Jungle songs” they’ve ever made. They explain, “[This album] feels like what we’ve always had in our heads. If you go back and compare it to the first record, they feel smaller and more introverted. This feels like a whole new level.”

The James Webb Space Telescope: Empowering Science Through Partnerships
An interview with Thomas Zurbuchen
How will the James Webb Space Telescope revolutionize space observation, and how will it help the scientific community understand the origin and evolution of the universe?
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the most audacious space telescope ever conceived – a technological marvel capable of studying every phase in the history of our universe through its infrared cameras and spectroscopy. Webb promises to show us the first luminous glows after the big bang, but it will also look closer to home at the evolution of our own solar system. And Webb will take our search for potentially habitable exoplanets a critical step further, searching the atmospheres of other worlds for the fingerprints of molecules that indicate they could possibly support life. Thousands of astronomers worldwide will use Webb’s capabilities to enhance our collective understanding of the universe, and our place in it.
Who is behind Webb?
Webb is the largest international space science project in U.S. history. I am so proud of the diverse team of thousands who have worked on this mission over the course of its development – across government, industrial, academic, and international partners, including NASA’s partners the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. For me, Webb serves as a true testament to successful, long-lasting partnerships worldwide.
What is next now for the telescope? Why will it take six months to see Webb’s first images? Since its launch in December, Webb has seen a series of incredible and unprecedented successes – from unfolding in space, including the deployment of its massive sunshield, to arriving at its destination nearly a million miles from Earth, to confirming that its optical performance will meet or even exceed our expectations. But preparing the telescope for science observations is a long and complex process. We are currently in the process of aligning Webb’s mirrors to its instruments, cooling the telescope and its instruments to their extremely cold operating temperatures, and then preparing the instruments for science operations. This whole process takes about six months after launch, before the world will see Webb’s first stunning science images.
How far back in time can Webb see?
One of Webb’s main goals – the reason this incredible telescope was conceived – is to look back in time to find the first galaxies that ever formed in the universe. To do this, Webb will be able to see back to when the universe was only one or two percent of its current age – about 100 to 250 million years after the big bang. The light from these first galaxies has traveled to us for about 13.6 billion years.
What kind of instruments and mirrors does Webb have? How does Webb compare to the Hubble Space Telescope?
Webb has four science instruments on board, providing us with an incredible array of tools with which to observe the universe. These instruments offer longer wavelength coverage than Hubble, from near- to mid-infrared wavelengths, with incredible sensitivity to capture spectacular new images and spectra of the cosmos starting this summer. Webb also has the largest mirror ever put into space, a 6.5-meter primary mirror about six times larger in area than Hubble’s, made of up 18 individual, hexagonal segments. These segments are coated in gold to optimize them to reflect the long wavelengths of infrared light. Webb is the scientific successor to Hubble, and the two telescopes will conduct exciting, complementary science, although Webb will do so from outside of Earth’s orbit, about a million miles away.
The construction of Webb pushed the limits of human engineering. What are the next space missions to look forward to now that Webb has successfully launched?
In Astrophysics, development of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is well underway – this next flagship mission will provide the same crisp resolution as Hubble, but over a field of view 100 times larger. Its sweeping cosmic surveys will complement the detailed studies of missions like Webb. But much sooner than that, there is so much NASA science to look forward to in 2022 alone. Bringing together multiple spacecraft in an entirely new fashion, the Earth System Observatory partnership between NASA and commercial and international entities will revolutionize Earth Science; we’ll seek to go forward to the Moon with commercial providers; the Double Asteroid Redirection Test will intentionally crash into an asteroid to test a technique that could be used to deflect harmful asteroids away from Earth in the future, should one ever be discovered; and we’ll observe the Sun up close as NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completes its fourteenth perihelion – the location in the elliptical orbit closest to the Sun. Webb’s successful deployments and initial optical performance have given us an incredibly positive start to 2022, and I remain so excited for all the coming year holds.
