A legislative committee voted along party lines Thursday against a proposal to prohibit COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee voted 7-5 against the bill, with majority Democrats effectively ending any chance of passage in the full Legislature. The bill sponsored by Rep. Tracy Quint, R-Hodgdon, originally aimed to prohibit COVID-19 vaccination mandates for five years.
Quint's bill said more time was needed to study potential reproductive harm, even though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection and other experts have found no evidence that the vaccines cause such problems. The U.S. CDC recommends the vaccine for women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, as well as their partners.
An amended version presented to the committee would have prohibited COVID-19 mandates on health care workers. But Quint said that was too narrow and she intended the bill to be broader. Her goal was to prevent COVID-19 vaccinations from being mandated for children in schools and for state employees.
Quint acknowledged that private employers have a right to require workers to be vaccinated and that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld mandates for health care workers. She said her bill was solely targeting state-level mandates.
"Some of the concerns were parents making sure the vaccine is not mandated for school – this is huge," Quint said. "Also state workers have contacted me. They're concerned state workers would be mandated as well."
All five Republicans on the committee support the bill. Republicans also have been fighting vaccine mandates nationwide.
Ten states have banned vaccine mandates for state workers, six have banned mandates for health care workers and two have banned them for private employers, according to the National Academy for State Health Policy.
Rep. Michael Lemelin, R-Chelsea, argued in support of the moratorium, questioning the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines, especially over the long term. He said vaccinations should be optional.
"You want the vaccine, take it. If it makes you feel great (and) comfortable, great," Lemelin said. "But I don't think the vaccinated people are all that comfortable, because every single person in the grocery store that I see wearing masks are all vaccinated people. Everyone living in fear in Maine are the vaccinated people. The unvaccinated people aren't living in fear."
While fully vaccinated people can still be infected with COVID-19 and transmit it to others, vaccines have proven highly effective at reducing the severity of disease and preventing people from lengthy hospital stays or death.
Hospital officials and Dr. Nirav Shah, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, have said in recent weeks that about 70 percent of people hospitalized with COVID-19 are unvaccinated and the percentage is higher for those in critical care or hooked up to ventilators. Shah also has said an unvaccinated person is eight times more likely to be hospitalized with the disease and 14 times more likely to die.
Sen. Joseph Baldacci, D-Bangor, rejected Lamelin's claims, saying that he is fully vaccinated and not living in fear.
"I'm going around knowing I have a high level of protection," he said.
Baldacci said the bill would be "bad law" that would tie the hands of medical professionals in the middle of a pandemic.
"I'm not voting to impose a mandate on anyone," he said. "What I'm voting against is hamstringing medical professionals over the next five years when the science is changing admittedly. I'm not going to put medical providers and scientists in a straight jacket and risk the lives of 1.5 million Mainers."

It was another successful week of NFL DFS cash games in Week 13 despite Trevor Lawrence and Aaron Jones disappointing in favorable matchups. Lawrence and Jones combined for 26.36 points on DraftKings in Week 13, though, both of them did suffer injuries in the first half that limited them in the second half.
Meanwhile, Josh Jacobs, Samaje Perine, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Garrett Wilson all carried my cash-game lineup as they combined for 114.3 of my 150.66 points. As a result of those guys performing well, I cashed in all of the double-ups I entered and won 17 of the 25 head-to-head contests.
With another week in NFL DFS upon us, here are my favorite cash-game plays for the Week 14 main slate on DraftKings.
Joe Burrow vs. CLE ($7,000)
Burrow has made an appearance in the NFL MVP race with his recent play for the Bengals. The former No. 1 overall pick has the fifth-best PER (0.50) among QBs this season and he's scored 30-plus points in two out of his last three games. The Browns have been great against QBs this season, allowing the 10th fewest points per game to the position. But with Burrow likely having his full arsenal of weapons at home on Sunday with Ja'Marr Chase back, matchups don't matter for him right now.
Kirk Cousins @ DET ($6,100)
Cousins has been far from consistent this season despite the Vikings owning an impressive 10-2 record thus far. While Cousins hasn't provided a safe floor, he's involved in the game with the highest projected total (52.5) when the Vikings visit the Lions in Week 14. Back in Week 3 against Detroit, the veteran signal-caller produced a solid 18.3 points at home. Being that the Lions have been better against the run recently, and the Lions allow the most points per game to QBs, Cousins is a viable option on Sunday.
Jared Goff vs. MIN ($5,600)
When it's all said and done, Goff will likely be the quarterback I elect to use in my cash-game lineup. Once again, he's involved in the game with the highest projected total, he's playing at home, and he just posted 24.6 points in Week 13 against the Jaguars. There have certainly been weeks where Goff has struggled, but he's only $5,600 and there is undoubtedly potential for him to hit the 300-yard bonus for the second straight week. It also helps that the Vikings are giving up the sixth-most points per game to QBs.
Running Backs
Joe Mixon vs. CLE ($6,900)
All signs point toward Mixon returning for the Bengals in Week 14 following a two-game absence. Perine did a fantastic job filling in for Mixon, and while Perine could carve out a larger role, Mixon should still handle a massive workload upon his return. Besides permitting the third-most points per game, the Browns are allowing the second-most yards per attempt to RBs this season. If Mixon does get anywhere close to his usual usage on Sunday versus the Browns, he won't be under $7,000 for much longer on DraftKings.
Tony Pollard vs. HOU ($6,700)
Even with Ezekiel Elliott back for the Cowboys, Pollard has remained heavily involved in the offense in recent weeks. In Week 13 versus the Colts, Pollard had 106 total yards and 2 touchdowns to score 24.6 points. While Elliott will get the carries inside the five-yard line, Pollard should have a chance to have a couple of explosive plays against a Texans defense that is bleeding the most points per game to RBs this season. Houston's defense has been better against the pass and with Dallas being favored by 16.5 points, Pollard should get plenty of run in Week 14.
D'Andre Swift vs. MIN ($5,800)
Playing Swift in cash games doesn't feel like a safe pick, but there is a chance he's earned his starting job back in Week 13. Swift had 14 carries compared to Jamaal Williams getting 11 a week ago. He also scored a touchdown while catching 4 of his 6 targets for 49 yards. The dynamic back now has six-plus targets in back-to-back games and he boasts the second-highest PER (1.18) among RBs. If you aren't using Goff in your cash-game lineup, Swift is a nice way to save salary on DraftKings.
Wide Receivers
Amon-Ra St. Brown vs. MIN ($7,800)
I'll continue to play St. Brown until DraftKings increases his salary to a point where I have to consider whether or not he can return value. St. Brown has scored 30-plus points in back-to-back weeks, eight-plus targets in six straight games (10-plus targets in four of those), and three touchdowns in his last two appearances. There aren't many WRs that provide a safer floor than St. Brown right now and with the Vikings giving up the second-most points per game to WRs, he's in a great spot entering Week 14.
Christian Kirk @ TEN ($6,600)
Trevor Lawrence didn't practice on Wednesday for the Jaguars, but the expectation is for him to play on Sunday versus the Titans. If Lawrence does play, then Kirk is in a prime spot to return decent value. Kirk just notched 19.4 points in Week 13, giving him 19-plus points in three of his last four games. There isn't a team that is allowing more points per game to WRs this season than the Titans, making Kirk a viable cash-game option as long as Lawrence is throwing him the ball.
Garrett Wilson @ BUF ($5,900)
DraftKings continues to increase Wilson's salary, but it still hasn't reached a point where he doesn't feel underpriced. With Mike White under center for the Jets, Wilson has now combined for 13 receptions, 257 yards, and 2 touchdowns on 23 targets in the last two weeks. He's also scored 26-plus points in back-to-back games with White targeting him. Even though the Bills are a stiffer matchup for the rookie wideout, the Jets will likely need to throw to keep up and Wilson will see plenty of looks in a crucial AFC East bout.
Related: Week 14 Fantasy Football Must Starts
Tight Ends
David Njoku @ CIN ($3,900)
Njoku was inactive for the Browns in Week 13, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday. If Njoku returns to the field on Sunday versus the Bengals, he could become a favorite target of Deshaun Watson's rather quickly. The former first-round pick had 13.9 points in Week 12 against the Buccaneers and he's averaged a solid 10.9 points per game on DraftKings. For those that have salary left over or Njoku is ruled out again, Dalton Schultz at $4,400 is a viable cash-game option.
Greg Dulcich vs. KC ($3,400)
The Broncos are a mess this season, but Dulcich has emerged as a trustworthy target for Russell Wilson. The rookie tight end produced a season-high 14.5 points in Week 13 versus the Ravens and he's now registered 10-plus points in four games this season. With Courtland Sutton doubtful to play on Sunday against the Chiefs, Dulcich could see an increase in usage, making him the likely candidate for my cash-game lineups.
Cowboys vs. HOU ($3,800)
Paying down at defense is typically the way to go in cash games, but if you're able to afford them, the Cowboys defense is an elite option in Week 14 versus the Texans. Even with the Texans going with Davis Mills over Kyle Allen on Sunday, the Cowboys have the highest pressure rate, the most sacks, and the third-fewest points per game allowed in the NFL.
Steelers vs. BAL ($2,800)
Lamar Jackson is week-to-week with a knee injury, and while Tyler Huntley has proven to be an effective backup, he'll be facing a Steelers defense at home that has T.J. Watt screaming off the edge. Since returning to the defense in Week 10 from an injury, Watt has helped the defense of the Steelers score 10-plus points twice in the last four games. The Buccaneers, the Jets, and the Panthers are other defenses to consider in cash games.

Not enough action in your life this summer? Too hot, you say? Well, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a nice air-conditioned theater, grab a big bag of popcorn, and lose yourself in one of the best action-adventure flicks in a long while, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.
Yes, Tom Cruise is back doing (at least some of) his own stunts for the seventh time as the impossible IMF agent, Ethan Hunt, as he out-runs The Flash, out-adventures Indiana Jones, out-drives Dominic Toretto, and out-sings The Little Mermaid. (Okay, so, Cruise doesn't sing in this movie, but I wouldn't put it past him for Dead Reckoning Part Two!)
The plot is as timely as today's headlines as the Impossible Missions Force goes up against a rogue artificial intelligence program set on obtaining a nuclear weapon. It hires several evil-doers (Esai Morales and Pom Klementieff) to do its bidding, and it's up to Ethan and crew to stop the nefarious plan … and ACTION!
Insane car chases, gun battles, fight sequences, and train wrecks ensue. And there's also the crazy (well publicized) motorcycle-driving-off-a-cliff stunt that is worth the price of admission on its own. Not to mention a … (no spoilers here.)
The film stars the usual team of IMF agents played by Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg, and Rebecca Ferguson returns as Ethan's love interest. Welcome newcomer Hayley Atwell (the MCU's Peggy Carter) is also along for the ride.
The aforementioned Klementieff (the MCU's Mantis) is incredible as a French assassin who takes great pleasure in performing her duties. The whole ensemble is fantastic and I can't wait to see them all again in Part Two.
The score by Lorne Balfe is fantastic and I loved how he trickily leads you into the Mission: Impossible theme without you knowing that's where you are going. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is easily the most fun I've had at the movies this year and I'm looking forward to seeing how they top themselves in the sequel … if that's even possible.

Quotes from this episode:
"But things have been so admirably arranged by the divine Inventor fo the social order that in this, as in everything, political economy and morality, far from clashing, are in harmony, so that the wisdom of Ariste [the brother who saves] is not only more worthy, but even more profitable, than the follow of Mondor [the brother who spends]." ~Frederic Bastiat
"It is not without actual physical pain that I see such contradictions appear between the great laws of Nature. If mankind were reduced to choosing between the two sides, one of which hurts its interests and the other its conscience, we should have to despair for its future. Happily this is not so. To see Ariste regain his economic as well as his moral superiority, we need only understand this consoling axiom, which is not the less true for having a paradoxical appearance: To save is to spend." ~Frederic Bastiat
"They were standing a little straighter, and working a little more smartly. It did things to a man, Nat thought, to find out he had a brain." ~Jean Lee Latham
"It was not that my hygiene lessons had yet made that much difference, nor that I had grown accustomed to the smells because in other situations my crazy nose bothered me as much as always. It was rather that as I came to know the children and to think of them as persons rather that names in my grade book, I forgot my reactions and began to love them. I suppose the principle was that the higher affection will always expel the lower whenever we give the higher affection sway. For me, it was letting love for the mountain children come in the front door while my preoccupation with bad smells crept out the rathole." ~Catherine Marshall
"The nervous agitation of Alexey Alexandrovitch kept increasing, and had by now reached such a point that he ceased to struggle with it. He suddenly felt that what he had regarded as nervous agitation was on the contrary a blissful spiritual condition that gave him all at once a new happiness he had never known. He did not think that the Christian law that he had been all his life trying to follow, enjoined on him to forgive and love his enemies; but a glad feeling of love and forgiveness for his enemies filled his heart." ~Leo Tolstoy
"'But I saw her and forgave her. And the happiness of forgiveness has revealed to me my duty. I forgive completely. I would offer the other cheek, I would give my cloak if my coat be taken. I pray to God only not to take from me the bless of forgiveness.'" ~Alexey Alexandrovitch, Anna Karenina

A Relief
The hospital where Gloria stayed for the eight days before her passing sent me another letter.Outstanding balances, and I've been getting those regularly. Her health insurance company has paid some claims, but not others. Due to a very strange Michigan law, if a motor vehicle is involved in the accident, her auto insurance becomes a secondary payer for her medical bills, which were astronomical.
This allows both companies to throw claims like footballs back and forth, each denying responsibility.
It's been exhausting, and my secret fear has always been that somehow the insurance doesn't cover some huge portion of the medical bills, and if the woman who hit her doesn't have significant assets, the costs wouldn't be recoverable.
So I called the hospital today, and the lady immediately said, "You can disregard that letter." I asked her why, and she said "Her health insurance paid all our outstanding claims. The balance is zero."
That hit me like a wave.
After that moment of relief, I had the strangest reaction: I got a little shaky. I can't really explain why, but I think it might have been because life changed so significantly for me in an emotional sense in that moment.
There are still some outstanding medical bills--about 10k that her health insurance only partially paid--but that's a long, long way from what I feared.
My life is going to improve substantially when that 10k is taken care of, too. So much of this tragic process has felt like treading water day after day, and it gets so heavy after a while.
Now, a little bit of a raft.

While your options might be lesser than shopping for a quality sofa, there are a lot of benefits to having a sofa bed and they come in handy more than you think.
They're the ultimate lifesaver when friends pop around, family visits from out-of-town or for when your kids want to have a sleepover. Plus they're always useful during the holiday season.
"Contrary to popular belief, sofa beds can look great and be extremely comfortable to curl up on after a long day at work," says Temple & Webster's style team.
A sofa bed is a space-saving and quick-change version of a bed that best suits apartment living or small bedrooms. However, they can also suit everyday use so long as you know what you're looking for.
"A plush sofa with plenty of cushions will have you in disbelief that beneath your seat is a metal frame."

"I am so impressed with its quality," wrote a five-star reviewer. "Silky kitty fabric, soft pillows. All positions are very comfortable. Everything is working. Very happy. Used to have a 2k couch that was silky and soft but downsized to Buffy due to limited space in the living room and, surprisingly, now I spend more time on [the] sofa."
What to look for when buying a sofa bed?
"When shopping for a sofa bed there are many considerations – function, comfort, size and how much you want to spend. Firstly, decide where it will be used in the living room or guest room? The second consideration is comfort and finding a type of mattress that suits your needs," says Kylie Burgon, Senior Furniture Buyer at Freedom.
Most sofa beds are either a clic-clac, which is where you can simply push the back of the sofa down until it lies flat, or the traditional pull-out sofa which typically has a metal frame that is stowed away inside the sofa.
If a clic-clac or pull-out aren't to your taste, there are other creative and low-maintenance alternatives. One option is a modular sofa, which can be arranged into a bed or why not try a stacked style sofa bed, which is where the firm seat cushions become the mattress.
Are sofa beds comfortable?
As sofa beds are required to be a more compact size, this can mean the bed is thinner than a standard mattress and the length can fall short. However, this doesn't necessarily mean less comfortable.
Over time the sofa bed design has evolved with new game-changing materials being used like memory foam that is favoured by popular brands like Koala that has just released a new model the Beauty sofa bed.
"The challenge for sofa beds is that it has to be comfortable when sleeping on it, but also when sitting on the sofa bed," says Koala's product design team. "While the experience with most sofa beds is generally pretty uncomfortable (you hit a middle bar in the middle of the night), the Koala Sofa Bed has multiple layers for optimal comfort."

How is language acquired? Does language acquisition proceed linearly or cumulatively? There was a time when language acquisition was thought to progress in a linear manner. Level of proficiency was based on the number of years devoted to the study. In more recent decades, there came a shift to understand that language acquisition proceeds cumulatively, and should be based on one's functional ability and not the number of years of study. ACTFL supports this understanding. So if language acquisition is, indeed, a culmination of learning, how can we best measure it?
Using your own students as a model, try to establish among them a singular measure of ability in their common language of study after one year of instruction. What can they ALL do? What can SOME do? What can NONE do? Is there a singular measure of accomplishment among the members of this group?
Inverted Pyramid of Proficiency
ACTFL's iconic inverted pyramid is a handy device for illustrating the cumulative process of language acquisition. It is an even better device for conveying to students how complex advanced mastery of a language really is.
Take a look at the ACTFL Generic Guidelines for Speaking and try to self-assess your own level on the ACTFL Proficiency Pyramid.
Contact Time in the Target Language
ACTFL guidelines prescribe the number of hours required to reach each stage in the inverted pyramid of proficiency. The reality is that those number far exceed the classroom hours available to students. So how can we increase our students' exposure to the language?

Employment in some of the world's biggest economies dipped in the first quarter of 2020, with young people the most affected, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The employment rate, defined as the number of working-age people with jobs, fell to 68.6 per cent in the first three months of the year, compared to 68.9 per cent in the previous quarter among the OECD's 37-member countries, the Paris-based organisation said in a report on Thursday.
The OECD employment rates for women and men decreased at the same pace, to 61.3 per cent and 76.1 per cent respectively, the report showed. However, young people fared worse with the employment rate among youth aged 15 to 24 falling to 41.9 per cent, from 42.3 per cent.
In June, the OECD said it expects the world economy to shrink 6 per cent this year before growing 5.2 per cent in 2021, if the coronavirus is contained. In the event of a second wave of infections, the world economy may contract 7.6 per cent before growing by 2.8 per cent next year.
Data on employment rates in the second quarter paint a gloomy picture in the US and Canada, showing a deeper plunge in the number of people with jobs compared to the first quarter.
The employment rate in the US fell nearly 9 percentage points to 62.6 per cent in the second quarter, making it the lowest on record since the fourth quarter of 1998.
The US youth employment rate was particularly affected, dropping by more than 12 percentage points to 38.6 per cent, compared with their older peers. US workers aged 25 to 54 saw employment drop to 71.5 per cent from 80.1 per cent while those between 55 to 64 years saw a fall to 57 per cent from 63.5 per cent.
During the second quarter, the number of persons in temporary lay-off in the United States reached 18.1 million in April, before decreasing to 10.6 million in June, according to the report.
Similarly, in Canada, the employment rate fell to 64.7 per cent in the second quarter from 73.2 per cent in the first quarter.
Among OECD countries with monthly labour force surveys, over April and May, the employment rate fell by a total of 10.3 percentage points in Colombia to 50.6 per cent. In Australia, employment fell by 4.7 percentage points to 69.8 per cent.
The decrease was lower in Japan, down by 1 percentage point to 76.9 per cent, while employment in Korea fell by 0.4 percentage points, to 65.4 per cent.
The impact of Covid-19 on the workforce of OECD economies is 10 times larger than during the first three months of the 2008 financial crisis, the Paris-based organisation said in its employment outlook report on July 7.
Unemployment in the OECD countries is expected to rise to 9.4 per cent this year, up from 5.3 per cent in 2019, if the outbreak is kept under control, the organisation said in its latest employment outlook report on July 7.
Even then, it remains the worst unemployment figure since the Great Depression and could increase to 12.6 per cent this year if there is a second wave of infections.

I would recommend anyone to compare the great level of services and prices we have received.
Bobbie P.
Sparks Insurance has been our car & home insurance agents for many years. The staff calls me by name and asks about the family. You truly are only a phone call away.
Ann S.
I grew up with my parents using Sparks Insurance and now they take care of my entire family. They have always provided a fast and knowledgeable response while offering competitive rates. I strongly recommend Sparks Insurance for their local roots, continued service, and competitive rates.
Jason A.
Sparks Insurance has always been the most reliable and friendly insurance company I have used. They have always offered me the best rates on my car, motorcycle, and boat insurance. They have never let me down and have always promptly answered any questions I've asked. I recommend them to anyone looking for an insurance company, and I believe they are the best in town.
Jeremy W.
The staff at Sparks are always helpful. I immediately got a rep on the phone when someone hit my daughter's car.
Ken M.
Sparks Insurance has the the friendliest of office I have ever been to. Always a kind word. That's why I never call or mail in my payment. I like going in to see their friendly faces.
Danny T.
I searched around for several weeks to find the best policies with the lowest prices for my home and auto insurance. Sparks Insurance not only helped me find the best deal, their friendly service made it even better. Thanks Amber!
Anthony S.
I would not buy Insurance from anyone else!
Joe B.
Sparks has always gone the extra mile to get us the best rates. My husband has been with you guys for over 15 years. Everything has always been taken care of in a friendly and timely basis.
Carl & Betty R.
When dealing with insurance matters, I really value the experience of working with a real person living in my community. And working with an independent insurance agency was a great idea for us, because of the efficiency of getting quotes from multiple companies at one time, with one agent. Amber at Sparks Insurance did a great job for us, finding an excellent policy that perfectly fit our needs. The transaction was fast, efficient and effective. Based on my experience, I'd recommend Sparks Insurance Agency.

Born out of Melbourne and sent out into the world, Original Weekend was formed out of a need for sustainable, creative, and well-fitting Australian Menswear, that could be worn from the beach to the street and wherever your summer life might take you. We couldn't find what we wanted, what we really needed. We were tired of making compromises on style, colour, or having to settle for junior prints.
So, with a background in menswear design and keen artistic backgrounds, founders Ash and Rob set out to create this cult favourite Australian Men's Resortwear brand.
"Purchased a t shirt and boardshorts for my partner - amazing quality,
practical designs with a unique look that sets them apart and a delightful
service team to deal with.Definitely recommend the clothes, and even better that the shorts are
made from recycled plastics!" -
"Love everything about the products. That they are sustainable, very well
designed and amazing quality. The swim shorts fit amazing and have just as
amazing designs... Not to mention how ethical the business is in the use of
their products and helping our environment.Can't see myself moving to any other brands and living in these shorts
for the summer!" -
"It is so difficult to find a clothing brand that has a high-quality product
that is sustainable and ethically produced. Most brands in Australia I looked into were not open about their supply chains and labour standards in manufacturing.For some customers, like myself, this is a deal breaker as I am very passionate about human rights and sustainable living. OW nailed all of these areas and the information was easy to find."

After trading back multiple times the Redskins ended up drafting Leonard Hankerson at the 79th overall selection. Many people thought Hankerson was a 2nd round value and had they taken him at 62 overall I think that would have been a good value spot for him. While the Redskins have yet to address their quarterback or offensive line needs, they did get the big receiver they were lacking last season.
- Big receiver, only in the 6'2" range, but he plays bigger than that
- Uses his body to shield the ball (the anti-Malcolm Kelly)
- He has improved his catching ability over his career
- showed 4.4 speed at the scouting combine
- adjusts to the ball well in the air
- Has really cleaned up his route running and runs the whole route tree
- Impressive Senior Bowl week and a very nice Senior Bowl game
- Great value late in the 3rd
- Had issues with drops earlier in his career
- Wasn't the cleanest route runner before this season
- Has always displayed the 4.4 speed he has shown on the track
- Doesn't have exceptional size, despite it being good
- Consistency is a bit of a question
Hankerson in and of himself is a good value pick here. Behind Moss (if he resigns) and Armstrong the Redskins depth chart was scary, and not in a Green Bay Packers 'you can't cover us' sort of way. If Moss does resign he can move to the slot, with Hankerson and Armstrong on the outside. While I don't think Hankerson is as good as say Julio Jones or Jonathan Baldwin, I don't think he is too far off either. He should immediately help Washington's depleted receiving corps and with all the extra picks Washington got great value.
To recap Washington now has the following picks:
4th: 127th (from Bears) 5th: 144 (previous pick, our original pick) 5th: 146 (from Miami) 5th: 152 (from Indy) 5th: 155 (previous from Saints) 6th: 177 (previous, our original pick) 7th: 213 (previous, original pick) 7th: 217 (from Miami) 7th: 224 (previous, from Indy) 7th: 253 (previous, compensatory)
Not too shabby!

ROSEAU, Dominica, May 12, CMC – The Dominica Bar Association has condemned attacks being circulated through social media, on members of the judiciary.
In a release on Friday, the Association spoke out against the attacks targeting resident judge Justice Birnie Stephenson and President of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) Sir Dennis Byron.
Vice President of the Dominica Bar Association attorney Noelize Knight-Didier in an interview with Dominica Vibes said the release was issued because Justice Stephenson struck out Opposition Leader Lennox Linton's defense on April 27 "as being unsustainable and without merit and an abuse of the process of court".
"After this decision was given there was a very disgusting post being made about Justice Stephenson. I obviously cannot repeat the words but it was very disgusting, very uncalled for," she said.
The Bar Association also "categorically" condemned statements made by Cabral Douglas about the President of the CCJ Sir Dennis Byron following his unsuccessful attempt to file a lawsuit against the Dominica government.
"This litigant is not a member of the Dominica Bar Association, although an attorney," the release said.
Douglas petitioned the CCJ for US$ 3 million stemming from the forced cancellation of a concert which Jamaican artiste Tommy Lee was to headline in February 2014.
However the court ruled that Douglas failed to satisfy the requirement under Article 222 (a) of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas to show an arguable case that the Treaty intended that a right or benefit conferred on a Contracting Party enured to his benefit directly in their decision delivered on February 20, 2017.
In a statement released the same day as the judgement, Douglas said that CCJ's decision is not only "laughable but it opens the floodgates for litigation, which clearly could not be the intention of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas".
In her interview with Dominica Vibes, Dider said that when one receives a judgement which they do not like or is not in their favour, there are steps that can be taken such as appealing the matter, but the recourse is not to put down the justice system or "to hurl unwarranted attacks and defamatory remarks against the judges."
She added that these types of personal attacks against members of the judiciary "never used to be done in our society. I don't know what is going on, it is just not the way. And like we said in our statement, it is not that we are saying there should not be freedom of expression, but it is how you go about saying it".
Dider noted that the Bar Association continues to stand with Justice Stephenson and will continue to defend her where unwarranted personal attacks are concerned.
"It is one of the mandates of the Bar Association- to protect and defend the judiciary, the bench and also to protect and defend members of the Bar Association, other colleagues," she said.

Although many pizza styles are served in this town, residents of the Wu- as Woburn is fondly called- have taken a particular liking to Sicilian pizza. Although you can find other styles in town, like Neapolitan and New York pizza, Sicilian pizza is at the top of everyone's list. First baked in the 19th century, this delight of Siciliy made it to the US with Italian immigrants to New York in the 20th century.
In Woburn, Silician pizza has emerged as the favorite of many residents due to its rich, thick crust. Different groups worldwide have adopted Sicilian pizza and created new variations, but the traditional style remains most common. The pizza is often presented in a rectangular shape but can also take a round form. To make the perfect pie, most Woburn dwellers prefer cheese as the main topping. Other typical toppings include onions, tomatoes, herbs, and anchovies. While this pizza style is familiar to Americans, it holds a special place in the hearts of Woburn citizens.
In Woburn, many pizzerias provide delivery, but none do it like the folks at Fortunato's Restaurant. It was founded by two brothers, Fortunato and Luca, and is on Main Street, which provides a strategic location for delivery and takeout. Customer service is king here, and the entire staff is friendly and approachable.
The Italian brothers that started the pizzeria have crafted a menu that is certain to satisfy. The pizza section, named Brick Oven Pizza, showcases a wide range of enticing pizza combinations that will make you think you've gone to Italy. This includes the Pepperoni Pizza, Chicken Buffalo Pizza, Meat Lovers Pizza, and Margherita Pizza. While their primary focus is on pizza, they venture into other dishes such as appetizers, salads, soups, bread, and specials. However, you can be confident the pizza will leave the best impression.
Are you preparing for a game night with your friends? Going on a picnic with your favorite person? Or do you want to throw the house party of the year? Drop by Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta to pick up the perfect pizza to match your particular plans. They are customer-friendly, and your order will be ready in a short amount of time.
At Bertucci's, the most popular items on the menu are the signature pizzas, made Neapolitan-style. It might be hard to choose just one, but the Classic Margherita, Meatball Ricotta, and Sporkie with sausage are some of the best sellers. If none of the signature pizzas appeal to you, not to worry, you can make a custom pizza instead.
Other than pizza, Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizza offers satisfying dinner options like bowls of pasta and entrees like Chicken Parmesan and Grilled Salmon. Beef up your takeout meal with a starter or salad. You really can't go wrong with anything on Bertucci's menu.

One of the earliest appearances of slot machines in pop culture can be traced back to the 1960s. In the classic James Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever, the suave secret agent finds himself in a Las Vegas casino, surrounded by glamorous women and rows of slot machines. This scene not only showcased the allure of gambling but also solidified the association between slot machines and high-stakes excitement. Since then, slot machines have become a recurring theme in movies and television shows. They are often used to depict the thrill and unpredictability of gambling. In the 1998 film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the main characters embark on a drug-fueled adventure through Sin City, encountering slot machines along the way. The flashing lights and ringing sounds of the machines serve as a backdrop to their wild escapades, emphasizing the chaotic nature of their journey.
In addition to their presence in visual media, slot machines have also found their way into the world of music. Numerous songs have been written about the allure of gambling and the excitement of playing slots. One notable example is the hit song Viva Las Vegas by Elvis Presley. Released in 1964, the song captures the essence of the city's vibrant atmosphere, with lyrics like Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire. Furthermore, slot machines have been featured in literature, adding depth and intrigue to various stories. In Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale, the first James Bond book, the protagonist finds himself in a high-stakes poker game against the villainous Le Chiffre. While not directly about slot machines, the novel highlights the allure of gambling and the tension that comes with it.
Slot machines have become more than just a gambling device; they have become a symbol of excitement, risk-taking, and the allure of chance. Their presence in popular culture has solidified their status as an iconic element of the entertainment industry. Whether it's through movies, music, or literature, slot machines continue to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression on pop culture.

Dr Robert Crookall - More Astral projections – A woman scientist has an OBE
Type of Spiritual Experience
A description of the experience
Dr Robert Crookall - More Astral projections
Case No. 282 - A Scientist
The case of a woman scientist, one of 'astral projection', was also cited by Miss Frances Banks, in the Daily Sketch (Oct. 4, 1960). One night she had the feeling she had left her bed. She saw a friend, a head-mistress of a nearby boarding school. She said,
I saw her lying awake, looking towards the window in a small square room. I seemed to have come in through a door on her right.
I looked out of the window on the far side on her right and saw the long drive in front of the school and a field in front leading down to the river.
I noted the position of her furniture. On her left was another door through which I went, finding myself in a girls dormitory with two rows of beds.
Beyond this I went through another door on to a balcony, down the stairs into the hall.
In the morning I wrote a full description of what I had seen, with a plan of the bedroom and sent it to her.
Some months later, I was invited for a week-end visit to her school and was given her bedroom. It was 'correct' to my vision in every detail. I had never been to the school before.

Pet bearded dragons should be provided the proper amount of nutrients for overall growth and to develop at all stages of life. So the pet owners need to have a good understanding of their diet what to give and what is right for their health.
Bearded dragons are omnivores in nature, therefore, can eat both types of grass and also hunt small insects as their prey. Talking about grass, you can feed grass to your bearded dragon but you shouldn't. Some bearded dragons may be keen to eat grass when you both are outdoors.
But you have to understand grass is not that good for their health as grass does not provide the vitamins and minerals that bearded dragons need in their diet. The grass is hard to digest for a bearded dragon and it can lead to some kind of digestive problem. It would be best to feed other greens that will contribute to some benefits and leaving out grass entirely is better.
Do Bearded Dragons Like Grass?
The grass is something which is not their favorite treat but they usually eat grass for their survival only. They usually eat wild grass while they are hunting for any insect that is laying on it. Sometimes they eat grass due to the lack and unavailability of insects. Therefore eating grass is their compulsion, not a choice and it is not sufficient to satisfy their cravings.
Should Bearded Dragon Eat Grass?
A young bearded dragon needs around 20% of plants for their diet and in this age duration, they should eat grass plants. If you have a young bearded dragon you should provide them leaflets of grass and you should make a change in their diet as they grow up. Also, an adult bearded dragon requires an 80% of greens and vegetable diet for their body organs and good health.
Should Bearded Dragon Not Eat Grass at All?
It is not recommended to not feed grass at all to the bearded dragon and it also does not mean that reptiles cannot eat grass at all. A small amount of grass is not harmful at all to your pet. As grass is not a new thing to the bearded dragon and wild dragons have already tasted it as dragons are omnivores and can eat grass and insects. But if you want to feed grass then it should be in small quantities and on an occasional basis.
Should I Feed Grass to Bearded Dragons?
Green grass is necessary for a bearded dragon but only grass is not a perfect snack you can feed grass in moderation. Anything which is not ideal for the bearded dragon may become harmful for him and frequently feeding grass may create constipation and other digestive issues. So if you are willing to feed grass you should be aware of all those circumstances that can affect your bearded dragon's health.
Things to Know while Feeding Grass to Bearded Dragon
A pet bearded dragon eats wild grass and they become used to that wild grass but if you feed grass from your lawn to the pet dragon then you should keep following things in your mind.
- Grass should be adequately washed and dried
- It should be free from any kind of toxics
- No bacteria or any kind of fungus should be on the grass
- Grass should be free from pesticides and insecticides
Fungus, bacteria, and other pesticides can affect a bearded dragon's digestive system very badly as its organs are susceptible.
Can Bearded Dragon Eat Too Much Grass?
The grass is not toxic at all for the bearded dragons as long as they are not sprayed which means they can occasionally eat grass if the owner wants to feed them. The grass which is on your lawn is not easy for them to digest making dragons prone to impactions. But too much grass is not good for bearded dragons. So it is not recommended to feed an excess grass to them.
Reasons Why Bearded Dragon Shouldn't Eat Grass?
Here are some of the reasons why the grass is not good for bearded dragons and they shouldn't eat grass at all.
1. Leads to digestive complications:
Bearded dragons do not have the system that a cow, goat, sheep, and other ruminant animals have to digest the grass easily. Whenever a bearded dragon eats grass, their incompatible digestive system puts them at risk of constipation, impaction, and other nasty digestive issues. Feeding grass can put your dragon in considerable discomfort.
2. Nutrient deficit:
Once a bearded dragon gets used to eating grass then they will not eat other healthy things that are important to them. Due to this, a bearded dragon can be at the risk of massive nutrient deficit and malnutrition is one of the early signs of nutrient deficiency. Deficiency in the nutrients causes difficulty to grow and may suffer serious lethargy.
3. Poor nutritional intake:
Grass couldn't provide sufficient minerals and vitamins to the bearded dragon-like other animals for which grass is a staple food. Bearded dragons cannot get as many nutrients as they can get from eating healthy greens, fruits, and insects. So there is no point feeding grass to your bearded dragon. It won't provide any benefit so it doesn't make any sense to feed grass to your lovely pet.
4. Pesticides:
Feeding grass to the bearded dragon does not need to go outside and pick grass from the lawn and feed them. Lawn grass may be dangerous to serve to the bearded dragon as it can contain pesticides and many other harmful chemicals that can be poisonous to your bearded dragon. If you are sure about the lawn grass is free from pesticides then it is also not good to feed it to them.
What Food is good for Bearded Dragon?
Bearded dragons should be given a balanced diet that includes green veggies, fruits, and insects. Young and baby dragons should be provided more animal protein and the number of plants and greens should be increased as they grow up.
Plant vs Food ratio
There are two options for the bearded dragon which change according to their age. So you have to be careful about their diet and change what you should do as they grow up.
The most common advice that you may find about their diet is:
- Small and baby bearded dragons should be given about 80% of insects and 20% of greens and fruits.
- For a young bearded dragon, you should shift to a 50-50% diet of both insects and greens.
- An adult bearded dragon should eat more greens and reduce the consumption of insects. It is recommended to feed an adult bearded dragon with 70-80% of plant matter and 20-30% of insects.
This recommendation about a food diet is quite logical as an adult bearded dragon is not that active and should eat less fatty acid to avoid getting overweight and obesity is something bearded dragons are prone to. Therefore consumption of insects is reduced for an adult dragon and greens are feeding more.
Final Thoughts
The grass is hard for bearded dragons to digest and bearded dragons are prone to constipation, impaction, and digestive issues. Another reason that grass should not be fed to dragons is that it doesn't provide any nutritional value and eating too much grass can lead to a nutritional deficit in them as they will not have other important components which are essential for their growth. If you are willing then you should be very aware of all the facts.

Modern Journalism: Issues and Trends
The Evolution of Modern Journalism
Journalism has come a long way since its inception. With the advent of technology and the rise of social media, the landscape of journalism has undergone significant changes. In this article, we will explore the issues and trends in modern journalism and how they have shaped the industry.
Fake News: A Threat to Credibility
One of the most pressing issues in modern journalism is the proliferation of fake news. With the ease of sharing information online, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between reliable sources and misinformation. This poses a significant threat to the credibility of journalism as a whole. Journalists now face the challenge of verifying information and ensuring that their reporting is accurate and unbiased.
The Rise of Citizen Journalism
Another trend in modern journalism is the rise of citizen journalism. With the accessibility of smartphones and social media platforms, anyone can become a journalist and report on events as they unfold. While this has democratized the news industry, it also raises concerns about the lack of professional standards and ethics. Citizen journalists often lack the training and experience of traditional journalists, leading to potential inaccuracies and biases in their reporting.
The Impact of Technology
Technology has revolutionized the way news is consumed and produced. The rise of online platforms and social media has disrupted traditional media outlets, leading to a decline in print circulation and advertising revenue. Journalists now have to adapt to new mediums and find innovative ways to engage with their audience. Additionally, the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence in news curation raises questions about the role of human journalists in the future.
The Importance of Fact-Checking
In an era of fake news, fact-checking has become more crucial than ever. Journalists must verify information from multiple sources and ensure that their reporting is based on facts. Fact-checking organizations play a vital role in holding journalists accountable and debunking misinformation. However, the challenge lies in reaching a wide audience and combating the spread of false information effectively.
Modern journalism faces numerous challenges and opportunities. The rise of fake news and citizen journalism has raised concerns about credibility and professional standards. However, technology also presents new avenues for storytelling and audience engagement. As the industry continues to evolve, journalists must adapt to these changes and uphold the principles of accuracy, fairness, and integrity.
