We called in at Frome. You could say a river runs through it.
We spent quite a lot of time in Costa's ( not sure about the apostrophe - it's in the sense of Costa's shop) watching the world go by. This is the quiet before the deluge of mini- skirted school girls;. How can they afford it? In my day it was two pen'orth of chips with salt and vinegar.
Three generations. On the right Betty the day before her 92nd birthday. In the centre her daughter Jane and on the left her grand-daughter Natasha. The service was VERY slow - we were the only customers but Betty didn't suffer in silence so all was well in the end.
A very old Warminster church. Next time I'll enter.
Jane decided the fence needed a fresh coat and colour. I suggested we did a Tom Sawyer and tried to engage passers-by and allowing them to help. No charge.
This little lot have all been knitted by Jane - all with their own characters. No wonder her grand-daughters think she's smashing.
One of the treats was a film: 'My old Lady' with Maggie Smith. Kristin Scott Thomas and Kevin Kline. How apt I thought. It was even apter. In a nutshell ' he's in the will - she's in the way.'
Mathias quickly learns that the apartment is a "viager" — an ancient French system for buying and selling apartments — and that he will not actually get possession of the apartment until Mathilde dies, and that he, in addition to that, owes her a life annuity of € 2400 a month. All this is a surprise to him, since his father never told him and he had language problems with the French lawyer.
As a life tenant myself there are similarities except in my case - happily - the heirs are caring family.
Worth seeing with that cast. A bit drawn out towards the end but I got the ending I wanted and Paris is always a joy. The film was held in a sort of town hall with tea and biscuits and a jolly chatty audience.

title: What determines a criminal sentence

text:
People who are facing a criminal charge will likely want to know what type of sentence is possible if they’re convicted. While you might be able to get an idea of a range of sentences, you won’t know exactly what you’re going to get until that time comes.
There are many different things that come into the situation so it’s imperative to know what factors will go into the court’s decision.
Was there a plea deal in place?
Some criminal matters are resolved via a plea deal. When this is the case, the judge will consider the terms of the plea deal as they’re written in the agreement. If these are suitable, the judge will ask some questions and will likely accept the deal.
Is there a criminal history to consider?
People who have a prior criminal history might have a harsher sentence than someone without any history. The type of prior convictions will also play a role in the sentence. In some cases, there are mandatory minimum sentences that the court has to comply with.
What else will the court consider?
The court will also consider the circumstances of the crimes that are at the center of the case. The victim in the case is another factor. Any signs of remorse by the defendant can also impact the sentence.
People who are facing a criminal charge should ensure they know what possible sentences they’re facing. This can help to shape the defense strategy that they choose. There are many options for the strategy so you must think about how each one will impact your future. You have to make the decisions that you feel are in your best interests.

title: Crowns and caps

text:
As everyone knows, the appearance and health of your smile can affect your self-image, confidence, and overall well-being.
Today, thanks to advances in dentistry, it’s possible to transform even the most challenging smiles into ones that look beautiful, vibrant, and bright. Whether you have a minor flaw in a single tooth or multiple teeth with significant imperfections, your dentist offers solutions to create aesthetically pleasing, healthy, and long-lasting results.
If dental decay, cracked fillings, root canals, clenching, or grinding the teeth have caused extensive damage to the underlying tooth structure, a dental filling may not be a sufficient restoration. The only way to completely restore this tooth's cosmetic appearance and function is often full coverage with a dental crown. The good news is that a completed dental crown looks and feels like a natural tooth.
In addition to restoring a single natural tooth, crowns can be used in other situations, including being the supporting ends of dental bridges, covering dental implants, or as coverage for a cracked tooth to prevent further breakdown. A crown may also be indicated when a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance. Crowns can be made of either porcelain baked onto a metal substrate, all-porcelain, or many of the new ceramic materials that have been developed.
Whatever the reason for a crown, the purpose is the same—to rebuild the look, feel, and function of the tooth while protecting any natural tooth structure that remains.
If you have a tooth that is broken, cracked, chipped, discolored, misshapen, or weakened by advanced tooth decay, there’s no need to despair. Our office can restore your tooth with a crown that looks naturally beautiful and blends seamlessly with your smile.
With the range of dental materials available today, dental crowns can restore a tooth with the most lifelike, naturally beautiful, and long-lasting results. New generations of ceramic materials not only interact with light in much the same way as natural teeth, but they also offer excellent strength and durability. Our office will consider the tooth’s location, function, and aesthetic requirements when recommending the best options to restore it. You can rely on us to recommend a restoration that suits your smile and fulfills your expectation of care.

title: Mortgage rates drop what this means for homebuyers and sellers in 2025

text:
The U.S. housing market is seeing some significant shifts in early 2025, with mortgage rates experiencing their largest weekly decline since mid-September 2024. According to Freddie Mac, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage has dropped to 6.63%, making homeownership slightly more affordable for buyers and opening up refinancing opportunities for homeowners. But what does this mean for the real estate market, particularly here in Metro Atlanta?
More Buying Power for Homebuyers
Lower mortgage rates mean lower monthly payments, which can increase buyers’ purchasing power. A decrease in interest rates can make homeownership more accessible, particularly for first-time buyers who have been on the fence due to high borrowing costs. With the recent drop, we may see more buyers entering the market, leading to increased competition for desirable properties.
Increased Housing Inventory
In Metro Atlanta, housing inventory is on the rise. February 2025 saw a 20% increase in homes for sale compared to January, with 7,630 homes listed. This increase gives buyers more options, which could help balance the market and prevent steep price hikes. However, with mortgage rates declining, demand could surge, potentially stabilizing or even increasing home prices again.
Affordability Challenges Still Exist
Even with declining mortgage rates, affordability remains a concern. Home prices have continued to rise, though at a slower pace. The median home price in Atlanta reached $421,346 in February 2025, reflecting a 1.8% increase from the previous year. Experts suggest that unless home prices see a substantial correction, affordability will remain an issue for many buyers, especially those relying on financing.
What This Means for Sellers
For sellers, this could be an opportune time to list a property. With mortgage rates falling and buyer activity increasing, properly priced homes in desirable areas may see multiple offers. If the inventory continues to rise, sellers may need to be more strategic about pricing and marketing to attract buyers who now have more choices.
Real estate forecasts suggest that mortgage rates may remain around 6% throughout 2025. If inventory continues to rise, we could see a more balanced market, benefiting both buyers and sellers. However, for those considering buying or selling, timing and strategy will be crucial.
At Modern Heart Realty, we stay on top of market trends to help our clients make the best real estate decisions. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or just explore your options, our experienced team is here to guide you.

I don’t know ???
Fish that have been living forever even though I have never fed them!
Q: When did you start running? What inspired you to try cross country?
I started running in 6th grade. I was inspired to try cross country because I am not very coordinated but was always one of the fastest runners in my PE class.
Q: What was your first race? Describe your experience.
My first race was the practice meet in Santa Cruz. The race was way shorter than I thought it would be and it went by so quickly. However, I hated the end of it because two people from Santa Cruz blocked the path and I was confused about where the race ended. After, I ate a lot of watermelon but nowhere near as much as Shannon!
Q: What do you like about running cross country?
I like scaring people by telling them about how many miles we ran. I also like how accomplished I feel after a good workout.
Q: What are some of your favorite and/or toughest workouts?
My favorite workout is the 5 mile tempo at Alum Rock Park because it is mostly flat and has lots of shade. The toughest workout we do is hill repeats at Montgomery Hill because I’m not a big fan of hills and there is hardly any shade.
Q: Favorites: xc race? xc course? Track race distance? Track meet?
My favorite race and cross country course so far is the Santa Cruz course at UCSC.

title: I only stepped aside not resigned from

text:
Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has denied leaving his party, the People's Democratic Party, PDP, shortly after the party lost the 2023 presidential election to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
According to media reports, Fayose has resigned from the PDP and partisan politics.
In a statement made available to Prime9jaOnline, Fayose clarified that he only stepped down from the PDP but did not leave the party, saying, "I am not a member of the APC and will never be a member of the party."
Fayose stated that it is critical to speak the truth at all times, regardless of political affiliation.
"I am still a genuine PDP member. I only stated that I was stepping aside because I need to speak the truth to power without the fear of my view being tainted by party colouration. Resigning from a political party has a procedure and the same will be followed if I strongly find the need to leave the party.”
“It is important that we have somebody that can say the truth without wearing any party toga.”
“I am a member of the PDP, I am a member of the PDP NEC, a member of the party caucus, member of the Board of Trustees based on my position as a former chairman of the PDP governors’ forum. It’s a lifetime membership. But Nigeria is bigger than any party.”
I am not a member of the APC and will never be a member of the party. I have never hidden my respect for Tinubu. Notwithstanding,I believe that the 2023 presidential election is free and fair and I am entitled to my views.
I am not interested in contesting for any political position again in my life. What am I going to contest for at 62? ‘Even if ‘ I want to contest not under APC. I have said it repeatedly that I can never join APC and I am still saying it now.
But I need to emphasise that Nigeria needs somebody who will say the truth at this critical period in our history.
Again may I conclude here that Peter Obi is the man of the season?
Asiwaju won the election, but PDP was too fractured to win an election at the Federal level. However at the State level elections are local, please continue to vote and support the PDP, especially in the governorship and houses of assembly elections.


title: Tiny fogger receives a technical oscar

text:
Why do a dazzling lineup of motion picture productions depend on the revolutionary wonder-wizard Tiny-Fogger by Look Solutions? Because years of painstaking, precision engineering, practical know-how and rigorous testing went into the development of this battery-operated, programmable unit. What’s more, its incorporation of Look Solutions famous fog-machine “trademarks” – compactness, reliability and low-maintenance durability – have helped to culminate in a big win for Tiny-Fogger developers Jorg Pohler and Rudiger Kleinke.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has awarded a Technical Achievement Award to the developers in a ceremony at The Beverly Wilshire hotel on February 9, 2008. Unlike other Academy Awards, which honor achievements during a given year, the Technical award recipients must demonstrate a proven record of contributing significant value to the process of making motion pictures.
The Technical Achievement Award (Academy Certificate) was given to Pohler and Kleinke of OTTEC Technology GmbH for the design and development of the Tiny-Foggers. Their work was one of ten scientific and technical achievements honored by the Academy this year; 25 submissions for awards were made!
“We, at Look Solutions, are delighted and deeply honored to have been recognized by the Motion Picture Academy with this most prestigious award,” beams Nathan Kahn, owner of Look Solutions USA. “ I know I speak for both Mr. Pohler and Mr. Kleinke in saying that it is with great pride that we accept the award in the wake of their outstanding invention that offers the motion picture world convenience, value and immensely authentic fog/smoke effects.”
In the arena of special effects for motion pictures, theater and other live events, individual solutions for placing fog effects are often needed. Before the advent of the Tiny-Fogger in 1997, many conventional fog generators could not meet special-effects needs due to their size, lack of flexibility and power requirements
Jorg Pohler and Rudiger Kleinke solved that problem by not thinking big, but thinking tiny! The result was the Tiny-Fogger, the world’s tiniest fog generator. The Tiny-Fogger packs outstanding performance in a small package — 91x34x61mm and less than 300 grams — so it can easily be built into backdrops, puppets, costumes, props and more.
At the heart of the generator is a programmable microprocessor, which controls fog emission. For some applications, a fixed amount of fog may be programmed directly at the machine; this programmed output can easily be reproduced and/or changed.
A compact battery provides the Tiny-Fogger with a 12V power supply. Thanks to the device’s intelligent control mechanism the battery supplies energy only when necessary, greatly increasing fog time..
The Tiny-Fogger is triggered by a small remote or directly at the machine; a radio remote is optional.
The fluid tank is attached externally and can vary in size and distance from the machine. A special fluid ensures that dense fog is produced with the lowest possible fluid consumption. Both the fluid tank and battery are so small that they can also be built into sets and costumes.
Among the exciting motion pictures which have employed the Tiny-Fogger are “Spider-Man 3,” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” “The Producers” and “The Pink Panther” starring Steve Martin.
Last year Look Solutions introduced the TINY F07, the modified successor to the Tiny-Fogger. Its design and some of its components differ from its predecessor. The new product features a higher-quality pump and more rugged vaporizer. The PCB is now sealed in an enclosure so fog can’t back up into the machine potentially causing a malfunction. The TINY F07 has a momentary fog switch on the top of the fogger and an efficient Sleep-Mode. It operates with a smaller, lighter Lithium battery half the size of the former lead-acid battery, and warm up time is less than one second. Best of all, the price of the TINY F07 is the same as that of the original Tiny Fogger (on Look Solutions’ 2007 price list).
Notes Kahn: “For less than you’d expect, we offer an award-winning fog machine that won’t obstruct your props, scenery, actors or time. Call us today for a demo to see what Look Solution’ TINY F07 can do!”

title: Kale salad recipe

text:
Massaged kale salad with creamy avocado, tangy cranberries and nutty wild rice, this vegetarian recipe creates a delicious mouthful of textures. It’s a satisfying lunch or a wonderful side dish for dinner.
Why You’ll Love Our Kale Salad with Avocado
Don’t let the label “superfood” fool you into thinking kale is boring or bland. Our massaged kale salad with creamy avocado is a tasty and exciting way to enjoy this nutrient-packed leafy green.
The richness of avocado enhances the grassy flavour of kale, while nutty wild rice, sweet dried cranberries, crunchy pistachios, and sunflower seeds create a mouthful of wonderful textures.
I love that I can make this kale salad recipe a few hours in advance without the leaves going limp.
It’s a great recipe to serve as a side dish for BBQ, roast chicken, grilled fish or baked pasta. And if I were craving a good hearty salad for lunch, this kale avocado salad would satisfy my taste buds.
Why Do We Massage Kale?
Compared to other leafy greens, kale is far more fibrous. That’s why kale is the perfect candidate for stews, soups, stir fries and crispy chips! It holds its shape and does not wilt into mush when cooked.
We also love adding kale to salads, but when it comes to raw kale, the fibrous texture makes it tough and difficult to eat. Think of chewing paper in your mouth. Ew.
So how do we make it better? Massage.
It may sound weird we are massaging kale, but there are good reasons for it! Massaging kale with oil helps to break down the leaves. The rubbing motion softens the leaves and makes them tender enough to eat.
In this vegan kale salad recipe, I have also decided to massage avocado with the kale. Adding another layer of healthy fat and creaminess to help soften the leaves.
What Is Wild Rice?
Although we call it rice, wild rice is not rice at all. It is referred to as rice because wild rice looks and cooks like other types of rice.
Wild rice is the seed of aquatic grass grown in shallow freshwater marshes and banks of lakes.
Wild rice tends to be longer in shape with a thicker hull than white rice or brown rice. When cooked properly, wild rice has a chewy texture with a nutty, earthy flavour.
It is a delicious grain to add as a side dish, mixed pilaf, salads, stews and soups. Allow more time when using wild rice as it will take longer to cook.
Flavour/Texture: Prepare for a flavour and texture explosion with this delicious salad. Our massaged kale is paired with nutty wild rice, crisp apple slices, creamy avocado, and crunchy sunflower seeds, creating a delightful dance party of textures in every bite.
Even better, this salad is hearty and filling, making it an excellent option for a satisfying meal.
Ease: There are a few steps involved in cooking wild rice and massaging the kale, but they are not too laborious. It is a great salad to prep ahead.
Time: Allow approximately 45 minutes to cook wild rice. You can prep the rest of the ingredients whilst the wild rice is cooking.
These are the main ingredients you need for Kale Avocado Salad:
Wild rice: I adore the nutty flavours of wild rice. It also adds a chewy texture to the salad. I normally cook wild rice on the stovetop but you can also use an instant pot.
Kale: I normally use curly kale for salad, but you can also try Tuscan kale or purple kale, like our Rainbow chard salad.
Avocado: To help soften the kale, I first massage one avocado with kale and then add the remaining avocado cubes to the salad.
Apple: Crisp red apples add a touch of sweetness and help cut through all the other hearty elements.
Dried cranberries: Kale and cranberries is a great pairing in salads. The tangy sweetness of dried cranberries offsets the grassy flavours of kale.
Seeds/nuts: For added crunch, I’ve included pistachio and sunflower seeds. This is great mix along with wild rice for extra texture.
Pomegranate molasses/Balsamic vinegar: This salad dressing was originally created by Amy for her Persimmon salad. It uses both pomegranate molasses and balsamic vinegar.
Together they create a rich, deep tangy flavour that is also slightly sweet. I love the combination with this kale salad recipe.
Variations and Substitutions
Wild rice substitutes: If you can’t find wild rice, you can use black rice (AKA forbidden rice) or brown rice. Alternatively, other grains like quinoa or freekeh will work with kale salad.
Seeds/nuts alternatives: If there is a nut allergy, omit pistachios and add extra sunflower seeds or pepitas. You can swap pistachio with pine nuts or even chopped walnuts.
Alternative dressing: If you don’t have pomegranate molasses, try our balsamic vinaigrette.
Step by step instructions for how to make Kale Salad:
How to Cook Wild Rice
Give wild rice a rinse under cold water and drain.
Add wild rice and at least 2 cups of water into a medium sized pot.
Bring the pot of water to boil, then turn to medium-low heat and let the wild rice simmer.
Cook for approximately 45 minutes or until cooked. The rice is ready when tender but still has a chewy texture. Any grains that are bursting open, then it is most likely done.
How to Prepare The Salad
Destem and finely slice kale into ribbons or small pieces.
Peel and cut 1 avocado into cubes. The other avocado will be used for massaging into kale.
Cut apple into cubes.
Roughly chop pistachio.
How to Make Pomegranate Molasses Dressing
In a small bowl, add pomegranate molasses, balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Mix together until well combined.
How to Assemble the Salad
In a large mixing bowl, add kale, olive oil and a pinch of salt.
This next step requires you to get in with your bare hands to massage the kale. Tossing it in oil will not suffice!
Massage kale for 2 minutes so the leaves are fully covered with the oil and become tender and pliable. The leaves will darken in colour as you massage them.
Place one cut the avocado in the kale and give them a good squish. Next, massage the avocado into the kale so that all the kale leaves are covered with a thin layer of avocado.
Add wild rice, remaining avocado, dried cranberries, chopped pistachio and sunflower seeds to the massaged kale. Gently mix together.
Drizzle pomegranate molasses dressing over salad and mix again.
Finally, add cut apple to the massaged kale salad.
Tumble into a serving bowl and serve.
How to Make This Salad Perfectly (Expert Tips)
Do not skip the massage: Massaging kale is an important step. Make sure you rub the kale until the leaves soften.
Choose ripe avocados: Be sure to choose avocados that are fully ripe and soft to use. It would be hard to massage the avocado with kale if the fruit was not fully ripe.
Prep the salad ahead: I find kale salads are often best made in advance to let the salad dressing meld with the ingredients. You can make this salad up to 2-3 hours in advance. Let the salad chill in the fridge before serving.
If you want to prepare the night before, prep all the ingredients and assemble as mentioned, except the steps involving avocado and apple. I would massage the avocado and add apples the next day to avoid them turning brown when left overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, you don’t need to cook kale for salad. Massaging the kale leaves with oil tenderises and softens the leaves enough to eat raw.
Yes! This salad will benefit from preparing it in advance. Leave in the fridge to chill before serving. If you want to prep the day before, I would check more expert tips above.

title: The vast of night

text:
Directed and edited by Andrew Patterson and written by Patterson and Craig W. Sanger, The Vast of Night is the story of a radio DJ and a switchboard operator who discover a mysterious audio frequency while working at small town in New Mexico. Based on the real life Kecksburg UFO incident of 1965 and the Foss Lake disappearances around that same time, the film is an exploration of two people working late at night during the late 1950s as they deal with something mysterious that they believe could involve alien lifeform. Starring Sierra McCormick and Jake Horowitz. The Vast of Night is an entrancing and riveting film from Andrew Patterson.
Set entirely in one night at small town in New Mexico in the late 1950s, the film revolves around a young radio dee-jay and a 16-year old switchboard operator who both discover a mysterious noise that keeps cutting off phone calls with some calling about something up in the sky. It is a film that play into an event in which these two young people are working one night with nearly everyone in town attending a high school basketball game with some who are at home watching what is happening while the two who are at work are trying to figure out the source of this strange audio frequency. The film’s screenplay by Andrew Patterson, under his James Montague pseudonym, and Craig W. Sanger is largely straightforward in its narrative as it takes place entirely in one night.
Yet, it is filled with a lot dialogue that play into the relationship between the radio deejay Everett (Jake Horowitz) and the young switchboard operator Fay (Sierra McCormick) as the latter is interested in what Everett does. Still, it would be Fay’s work on the switchboard that would have her discover this strange sound as she asks a few friends including someone who is watching over her baby sister as she turns to Everett who would use his broadcast to ask someone if they knew this noise that is being played. Among them is a man named Billy (voice of Bruce Davis) who raises a lot of questions into what he discovers as does an old lady in Mable Blanche (Gail Cronauer) who would tell them a story about her own encounters in the film’s third act.
Patterson’s direction is stylish as it is shot largely on location in Whitney, Texas as this small town in New Mexico though the film opens in a room with an old TV showcasing the story in bits of black-and-white as if it was set in the 1950s/1960s and eventually shifting into color when the story is presented. Patterson also uses some unique tracking shots and long shots that play into the atmosphere of the film as it has Everett walking into the school gym where a game is set as it goes on for minutes in one entire take as it play into the kind of person Everett as someone who talks a lot and get things done but he’s also full of himself. Even towards Fay who just got a new tape recorder as she is eager to show Everett as they walk outside of the gym as they both walk towards their work stations while the scene of Fay working the switchboard goes on for a few minutes in one take as she deals with what she is hearing as well as those she’s calling as it is presented in a medium shot. There is also some unique wide shots of the location including a tracking-wide shot where Patterson takes the camera from Fay’s switchboard room to Everett’s radio station.
There are some close-ups in the film as it play into the scene of Everett talking to Billy as he’s recording their conversation while the scene with Blanche is presented in a simple medium shot where Blanche gives this monologue that goes on for minutes in one entire take. It is a chilling scene mainly because of what Blanche is talking about as Patterson only cuts when he has the camera focus on Everett who is in a medium shot in the foreground with Fay in the background as Patterson, under the pseudonym of Junius Tully, does the editing where he allows his shots to linger on while playing up to the suspense in a monologue or something the characters would encounter. The film’s climax is definitely one of intrigue as it play into not just words that Blanche had been reciting but also what it would attract as its ending is a strange one yet it also adds so much more into what is out there. Overall, Patterson crafts a chilling yet ravishing film about a radio deejay and a switchboard operator trying to discover a mysterious audio frequency at a small town in New Mexico in the late 1950s.
Cinematographer Miguel I. Littin-Menz does brilliant work with the film’s cinematography with its emphasis on low-key lighting with the exception of the light inside the school gym as much of the lighting emphasis on low colors with some black-and-white for the scenes set in the TV. Production designer Adam Dietrich, with set decorator Tyler Corie and art director Jonathan Rudak, does excellent work with the look of the switchboard room that Fay works in as well as the radio station that Everett works at as it play into a look of the props to play into that period. Costume supervisor Jamie Reed does fantastic work with the costumes as it does play into the period of the times including the long dresses that young women wore at the time.
Visual effects supervisor Rodrigo Tomasso does superb work with the visual effects as it is largely elements of set dressing but also in some of the lighting that play into the suspense. Sound designers Johnny Marshall and David Rosenbald do phenomenal work with the sound in the way the audio frequency is presented and how discomforting is as well as how sound is presented on a location as it is a highlight of the film. The film’s music by Erick Alexander and Jared Bulmer is incredible for its low-key orchestral score that play into some soft moments while eventually becoming intense with its strings along with some eerie textures to add to the suspense while its music soundtrack feature pieces that play into the era of rock n’ roll at that time as it is the music that Everett plays as a lot of it is by Colton Turner.
The casting by Sally Allen and Toni Cobb Brock is great as it feature some notable small roles from Mark Banik and Cheyenne Barton as a couple Fay and Everett meet late in the film as they had witnessed something in the air, Gregory Peyton as a friend of Everett in Benny whom Everett was talking with early in the film, Brianna Beasley as the voice of Fay’s cousin Ethel who is watching over Fay’s baby sister, and Pam Dougherty in a trio of roles as a woman named Mrs. McBroom who goes to Everett early in the film about something in the gym as well as the voices of two characters calling Fay. Bruce Davis is fantastic as the voice of a man named Billy who recognizes the audio frequency as he reveals a lot into what he encountered and what the government is covering up. Gail Cronauer is excellent as Mable Blanche as an old woman who also recognized the audio frequency as she has a story of her own that is just as haunting as Billy’s as it play into what she encountered as a child and later on in life as it related to her own son.
Finally, there’s the duo of Jake Horowitz and Sierra McCormick in incredible performances in their respective roles as Everett and Fay. Horowitz’s performance is one full of wit but is also a skeptic when it comes to the stories he’s listening to while he is also someone that talks a lot and uses a different voice when he’s on the radio. McCormick’s performance is just as charming when she’s talking fast while is also someone who is more convinced about these stories as she is intrigued by what is happening. Horowitz and McCormick have great rapport together in the way they talk with one another with Horowitz being somewhat immature despite he’s older than McCormick’s character though she is someone more grounded in the way she acts towards humanity.
The Vast of Night is a phenomenal film from Andrew Patterson that features great performances from Jake Horowitz and Sierra McCormick. Along with its supporting cast, intoxicating visuals, a chilling music soundtrack, a simple yet compelling premise, and top-notch sound design. It is a film that uses a minimalist premise and setting while doing a lot with creating suspense and terror by doing so little. In the end, The Vast of Night is a sensational film from Andrew Patterson.


title: Cases anti discrimination center westchester county fair housing

text:
On Monday, August 10, 2009, U.S. District Court Judge Denise Cote approved an historic $62.5 million settlement agreement in U.S. ex rel. Anti-Discrimination Center v. Westchester County. The ground-breaking litigation is the first to employ the federal False Claims Act ("FCA") to enforce a County's obligation to "affirmatively further fair housing." The landmark settlement combines FCA remedies with those traditionally used in housing desegregation litigation. With close oversight by a federal monitor, Westchester was required to appropriate and spend nearly $52 million in County funds to develop at least 750 affordable housing units in Westchester neighborhoods with very small African-American and Latino populations.
The Anti-Discrimination Center ("ADC") filed its complaint, under seal, in April 2006, alleging that Westchester had, over a period of 6 years, received $52 million in HUD and other government funds under false pretenses. ADC alleged that during this period, Westchester falsely certified that it had complied with its obligation under the federal Fair Housing Act to affirmatively further fair housing ("AFFH") in order to obtain the funds. Specifically, ADC alleged that the County failed to consider race-based impediments to fair housing choice; failed to identify and take steps to overcome impediments; and failed to meet its obligation to maintain records concerning its efforts. The U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") initially declined to intervene in the litigation, and the complaint was unsealed and served on Westchester in January 2007. Judge Cote denied the County's motion to dismiss in a published ruling on July 13, 2007. In that ruling, Judge Cote found that an interpretation of "affirmatively further fair housing" that excludes consideration of race would be an "absurd result."
After extensive discovery, in February of 2009, Judge Cote granted partial summary judgment for ADC, holding that the County had made false certifications on seven annual AFFH certifications and on more than a thousand implied certifications of compliance when it requested a drawdown of HUD funds. Judge Cote found that the AFFH certification was not a mere boilerplate formality, but rather was a substantive requirement, rooted in the history and purpose of the fair housing laws and regulations, requiring the County to conduct an analysis of impediments, take appropriate actions in response, and to document its analysis and actions.
Following the summary judgment decision, the Obama Administration took a new look at the case and decided to intervene for the purpose of assisting the parties in negotiating a settlement. In addition to the $52 million in funds that the County must spend to develop new affordable housing in white municipalities of the County, the agreement required the County to pay $7.5 million as a relator's share under the FCA to the ADC, and $2.5 million in attorney's fees.

title: Right to health right to life

text:
- RDT’s Hospital Network comprises of two secondary-level hospitals, one primary health centre and a Hospital for Infectious Diseases.
- Close to 2,18,000 people were admitted in the hospitals at Bathalapalli, Kalyandurg and Kanekal during 2018-19.
One of the worst consequences of poverty is poor health, constant illnesses and being unable to recover due to the poor diet. Existing healthcare infrastructures, in terms of quality and quantity, are inadequate especially in rural India. Lack of awareness and insufficient public expenditure on health plays a major role in depriving millions from their right to health.
From 1975-1980, RDT started its health program with a clear motto: to provide quality healthcare for the poor people living in rural areas. Something that was was not even a dream then.
RDT’s rural health programme is a combination of professional medical care provided through our hospital network and trained rural health workers that work on prevention and awareness of multiple problems in the villages.
To make up for the lack of qualified rural health workers, RDT sent the first batch of six people to Tamil Nadu to study for one and half years on Community Health in 1976. “The Community Health Workers (CHWs) and the Health Organizers (HO), called green and blue angels respectively for the colour of their saris, are of vital importance for us, the doctors. They are our eyes in the villages. With their help we can reach the more remote areas and save the patient,” says Dr. Y. Bala Subbaiah, Director of the RDT Hospital Network
Today more than 3,000 villages are covered by the HOs and more than 1,000 CHWs conduct home visits, take care of the nutrition program and are in charge of the follow-up of chronic patients. They also spread awareness on the immunisation, institutional deliveries and healthy and hygienic habits.
In 1978, RDT started running two primary care clinics in Kuderu and later on in Kalyandurg to provide basic assistance to the needy. At that time, in villages, when people had an emergency such as a difficult delivery or an appendectomy they had to travel 60 to 100 KMs by bus or a bullock cart to reach the nearest hospital. Often it was too late.
The lack of easy access to health facilities and the difficulties to retain doctors are still the major challenges of healthcare in the rural areas.
“When I joined Kuderu Hospital in 1991 I was shocked,” remembers Dr. Bala Subbaiah. “I was the only doctor and there were only a few nurses. Knowing fully that I was the only hope of survival for many is what kept me working”.
“On numerous occasions I told Vicente Ferrer, ´Doctors are not keen on working in rural areas and you want to build a hospital in a village. It will be very difficult´. He always gave me the same answer: ‘Probably it will be easier to run the hospital in a city or town but most of our patients came from the villages. Even if it is difficult we have to run the hospital here’.”
In 2000, one of RDT’s dreams came true with the opening of a secondary-level hospital in Bathalapalli. It has 12 different departments such as internal and family medicine, general surgery, orthopedics and traumatology, internal medicine, Emergency Unit, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Neonatology and Paediatrics among others. It has been recently recognized as a reference hospital under the Dr.YSR Aarogyasri health scheme by the government of Andhra Pradesh.
During 2018-19, 24,233 people were admitted in the hospital (57% of them women) and around 3,94,000 out-patients visits have been attended to.
Later on a primary health care centre was set-up in Kanekal and in 2006, the Kalyandurg Hospital was upgraded to secondary-level.
Since the beginning women and children’s health has been a priority of RDT’s health programmes. “We treat 50-70 cases daily, mostly young pregnant women between 20-25 years. This is the only hospital around 50 KMS where caesarean sections can be performed. In addition, approximately three out of four women suffer from chronic anaemia, mostly due to severe malnutrition. This complicates pregnancy. We also treat many cases of infections, haemorrhages and uterine diseases”, explains Dr. Manjula, Head of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in RDT Hospital, Kalyandurg for the last four years.
Situated 60 KMs from Anantapur, Kalyandurg hospital’s gynaec and obstetrics department has conducted more than 15,000 deliveries in the last two years and performed over 2,200 surgeries.
In India where malnutrition and child mortality are alarmingly high, the disparity in child healthcare is serious. In 2018, paediatrics department in Bathalapalli was recognized by the National Neonatology Forum of India for the quality of its infrastructures and treated 2,768 patients of which 40% were females.
Moreover over 1,600 neonates were admitted last year in Bathalapalli´s Neonatology Intensive Care Unit for an average of 6 days.
“Everybody has right to live with dignity and ensuring this basic right is exactly what we do in our Hospital for Infectious Disease (HID)”, remarks Dr. Bala Subbaiah. In 2006, RDT started the HID, also known as Care and Support Centre, to treat persons living with HIV and Tuberculosis (TB). “Before, people used to think that if they had HIV they would die and that it was probably better. We are changing this misconception here,” he adds.
The HID has become a reference in South India in recent years and apart from Anantapur, people from Kurnool, Kadapa and Chitoor districts are also treated in this facility.
HID was the first private hospital to have an in-patient facility for HIV and TB and to be authorized to provide free second line antiretroviral treatment in India, after being recognized by as an ART+ Center by Andhra Pradesh State Aids Control Society (APSACS) through National Aids Control Organization (NACO)
As of 2018-2019, close to 7,300 people are currently registered for ART therapy and 2,785 Tuberculosis patients, out of which 248 suffer from Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) TB received treatment.
The new mycobacteriology lab in the Bathalapalli Hospital, built in 2018 according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization allows quick and accurate diagnosis of those suffering from MDR-TB making timely diagnosis and treatment possible.
This lab is the third facility of its kind in the whole of Andhra Pradesh that is authorised to detect resistance to antibiotics in patients with TB under the Revised National TB Control Program (RNTCP).
Healthcare in rural India faces serious disparities. Apart from strengthening infrastructures, there is a dire need for providing access, both in terms of proximity and knowledge. That is why RDT’s healthcare programmes combines professional medical support with a network of health workers to reach out at the grassroots. Together they pave the way to achieve communities free from the burden of diseases.

title: Petunias everything you need to know before planting

text:
Petunias are beautiful flowering plants that are popular among gardeners due to their vibrant colors and ability to bloom throughout the summer. If you’re considering planting petunias in your garden or containers, there are a few things you should know to ensure their success.
Choosing the Right Variety
There are many different types of petunias available, including grandiflora, multiflora, and milliflora. Each variety has its own characteristics and growth habits, so it’s important to choose the right one for your specific needs. Consider factors such as the size of the flowers, growth habit, and whether they are suitable for containers or hanging baskets.
Light and Temperature Requirements
Petunias thrive in full sun, so make sure to choose a location in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. They also prefer moderate temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). If the temperatures rise above 85°F (29°C), petunias may start to wilt, so provide them with some shade during hot summer days.
Soil and Watering
Petunias prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Before planting, amend the soil with compost or aged manure to improve its fertility and drainage. Water petunias regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist. However, be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot.
To encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering, it’s important to fertilize petunias regularly. Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Pruning and Deadheading
To keep your petunias looking their best, it’s important to prune and deadhead them regularly. Pruning helps to maintain a compact and bushy growth habit, while deadheading removes spent flowers, encouraging the plant to produce more blooms. Trim back any leggy or straggly growth to promote healthy new growth.
Pest and Disease Control
Like any other plant, petunias are susceptible to pests and diseases. Common pests that may attack petunias include aphids, snails, and slugs. Regularly inspect your plants for any signs of damage or infestation, and take appropriate measures to control the pests. Fungal diseases such as powdery mildew can also affect petunias, so make sure to provide good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
In colder regions, petunias are typically grown as annuals. However, with proper care, it is possible to overwinter them and enjoy their blooms for another year. Before the first frost, bring your potted petunias indoors and place them in a cool, well-lit area. Cut back the foliage and water sparingly throughout the winter months. In spring, you can start gradually acclimating them to outdoor conditions to prepare for planting.
Petunias are versatile and beautiful plants that can add a splash of color to any garden or container. By choosing the right variety, providing proper care, and being vigilant with pest and disease control, you can enjoy the beauty of petunias throughout the summer season. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, petunias are a great choice for adding vibrancy to your outdoor space.

I received Monopoly Empire and Transformers products in order to facilitate my review. All thoughts and words are my own.
I have long loved the board game Monopoly. There were some serious marathons of the game in my house growing up, too. My father has more patience than any person I’ve ever met and he would sit for hours upon hours and play with me, long after others had given up.
While the classic version will probably always be my favorite, we definitely are having fun with one of the newest iterations, Monopoly Empire. In Monopoly Empire everything – the properties, the pieces, the cards – get a little shake-up with modern twists. You won’t see a battleship or Board Walk, but you will see a Coca-Cola bottle and Samsung.
One of my favorite changes from the classic is that Monopoly Empire doesn’t have cardboard property cards any more. Instead, you get billboard tiles that you place on a plastic “towers”. The goal is to climb to the top of your tower first, and you do that by collecting properties. They also simplified the money system: there are now only 50, 100, and 500 denomination bills.
The tiles are different sizes based on their value and fill up different dollar amounts on your tower. So you don’t have to worry about collecting all the properties in a set so much as you want to focus on buying as many of the high-value properties as you can. I’m usually pretty focused on winning, but the first time we played Monopoly Empire I really just wanted to collect all my favorite companies.
Transformers Generations Blitzwing
Bubbles is quite a bit younger than the suggested age range of 8+, so she mostly took turns sitting with each of us (myself, hubby, Ashley and Austin) and helping add tiles to our towers. She did wander off now and then, though, to play with her new Transformers Generations Blitzwing action figure. She’s a bit under the recommended age for these, also, but that hasn’t stopped her from being a huge fan.
Blitzwing is a very cool Transformer in the fact that he’s what’s called a triple changer. He converts from a robot to either a tank or a jet plane. Bubbles gets Daddy to swap him around for her fairly often, but as much as she loves planes right now, Blitzwing is most often in jet mode.

Man jailed for 10 years over bid to import cocaine worth up to £5.6m from Mexico
A drugs courier who tried to smuggle cocaine worth up to £5.6 million into Scotland hidden inside two large suitcases has been jailed for 10 years.
Kristopher Purvis, 35, ferried 15 packages containing the Class A drugs from Mexico to Edinburgh Airport along with another man in July 2024. But his plan was thwarted after Border Force officials stopped and searched the cases as he made his way through the airport’s nothing-to-declare channel.
Purvis, of Durham, was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh after he pled guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and being concerned in the fraudulent evasion of the ban on importing controlled drugs.
The court heard how the two men arrived at Edinburgh after a brief layover at Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris following the flight from Mexico. They were carrying the two suitcases and a plastic bag containing four sombreros. They were intercepted by Border Force officials, who uncovered the drugs following a search of the luggage.
Eight vacuum-sealed plastic packages were discovered inside Purvis’s suitcase. After cutting into one, the officer found it contained a second sealed package covered in a foul-smelling yellow liquid, which appeared to be mustard. The second package contained a white powder.
His travelling companion’s case was also searched with a further seven packages containing the Class A drug. The 15 packages recovered were each found to contain about three kilos of cocaine which had an average purity of 52 per cent. The maximum street value of the total haul was up to £5,640,000.
Purvis was cautioned and replied: “It’s all mine, my mate had nothing to do with it. I put it in his case.”
Moira Orr, who leads on major crime for the Crown Office, said: “Kristopher Purvis has now been held accountable thanks to an extensive Border Force operation, working with COPFS, to investigate a network of drug supply. With each case of this kind we can help reduce the harm that these drugs inflict on communities. We are targeting all people who threaten communities across Scotland, not only drug couriers but also those who direct their movements.”


title: Astroai s8 new roadside hero

text:
Ever found yourself stranded with a dead car battery at the worst possible time? We’ve all been there, and it’s never fun. But with the AstroAI S8 Battery Jumper Starter Portable, those days are over. This little gadget is a lifesaver, and it’s packed with features that make it an essential part of any emergency kit.
The AstroAI S8 is designed for high-performance jump starting. With a powerful 1500 A peak current, it can quickly bring low-voltage or completely drained batteries back to life. This jump starter is perfect for 6.0 L gas or 3.0 L diesel engines, and it works on a variety of 12 V vehicles like motorcycles, SUVs, pickups, and even lawnmowers. I recently used it on my friend’s car, which had been sitting idle for months, and it started up without a hitch.
One of the standout features of the S8 is its ultra-powerful boost mode. The smart boost technology automatically detects the battery’s voltage. If the voltage is less than 9 V, the indicator flashes green, signaling that you can press the “BOOST” button to start even fully-drained batteries. This feature is a game-changer for those unexpected battery failures when you’re out and about.
Safety is a major concern when dealing with car batteries, and the AstroAI S8 doesn’t skimp in this area. The device comes with high-quality metal clamps and smart jumper cables, providing better protection against excessive heat damage, loose ports, and battery bulging or expansion. Plus, it has eight integrated safety protections including reverse polarity, reverse connection, overcurrent, overvoltage, overload, overcharge, over discharge, and short circuit protection. This comprehensive safety suite ensures that you can jump-start your vehicle with complete peace of mind.
The compact and portable design of the S8 is another huge plus. Measuring just 7.9 x 4.5 x 3.7 inches and weighing under a pound, it’s easy to store in your car or travel bag. Unlike bulky lead-acid jump starters, this compact unit brings convenience and peace of mind to your trips. It’s small enough to fit in your glove compartment but powerful enough to get you out of a jam.
What really makes the AstroAI S8 stand out is its 5-in-1 functionality. Not only is it a reliable jump starter, but it also serves as a portable power bank and an LED flashlight with three modes (flashlight, strobe, and SOS). The power bank feature is incredibly handy for keeping your devices charged on the go. And the flashlight modes are perfect for roadside emergencies, camping, or any situation where you need extra light.
In my experience, having the AstroAI S8 in my car has been a game-changer. On a recent road trip, I ended up using it to help a fellow traveler with a dead battery. Not only did it get their car started quickly, but the built-in flashlight came in handy when checking under the hood. The portable power bank also kept my phone charged throughout the trip, making it an all-around reliable travel companion.
If you’re looking for a versatile, reliable, and compact jump starter, the AstroAI S8 Battery Jumper Starter Portable is a fantastic choice. It’s packed with features that ensure you’re prepared for any battery-related emergency, and its multifunctional design makes it useful in a variety of situations. Don’t wait until you’re stranded on the side of the road—grab the AstroAI S8 on Amazon and drive with confidence knowing you’ve got a powerful ally in your car.
I am interested in all things technology, especially automation, robotics and tech that helps change how society will live in the future.

QFN centre pads are so last decade
The QFN (quad flat pack, no leads) package can no longer be considered exotic. It was about a decade ago, but not any more. In fact, with the wafer scale BGA, it's one of the more common packages for new chip designs. Not all QFNs come with an exposed metal pad underneath, but most do, and that can still cause problems with reflow solder. The pad itself isn't the problem, but improper solder paste stencil layer design can be.
Author: Duane Benson, Chief Technology Champion, Screaming Circuits
The default stencil layer in the CAD library footprint might have an opening the full size of the metal pad. If that's the case, you'll need to modify the footprint so that you get 50-75% coverage with solder paste.
If you don't, you may very well have yield problems. With a 100% open area, you'll most likely end up with too much solder in the middle. The part will ride up or float, and may not connect with all of the pads on the sides of the part.
The first illustration shows a stencil with too large an opening in the centre, a segmented paste layer in the CAD footprint, and the resultant segmented stencil. You may note that I said to shoot for 50-75% coverage and ask: "Well, is it 50 or 75%? What gives?"
True, that is a bit of ambiguity. However, anything in that range should be fine for prototype boards. If you're going for volume production, you'll want to work with your manufacturer to tweak the design for best high volume yield.
Good news on this front is that many QFN manufacturers and parts library creators have taken notice of this. It's far more likely now, than it was ten years ago, to find a datasheet correctly illustrating this, and footprints created correctly. But, always check your footprints to make sure.
