text: JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (12-7)OPEN CAMP: July 26 Art Shell Jersey , JacksonvilleLAST YEAR: Earned first postseason berth since 2007 and made surprising run to AFC championship game, when Jaguars led New England by 10 points in fourth quarter before losing 24-20. Rode one of leagues top defenses featuring Pro Bowlers A.J. Bouye, Calais Campbell, Malik Jackson, Yannick Ngakoue and Jalen Ramsey to most successful season in nearly two decades. RB Leonard Fournette and LT Cam Robinson, both rookies, helped Jacksonville lead league in rushing. IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: All-Pro LG Andrew Norwell, TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, CB D.J. Hayden, WRs Donte Moncrief and DJ Chark.IMPORTANT LOSSES: WRs Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns Kemal Ishmael Jersey , LB Paul Posluszny, CB Aaron Colvin, TE Marcedes Lewis, RB Chris Ivory, LG Patrick Omameh.CAMP NEEDS: Stay healthy. Develop chemistry between QB Blake Bortles and revamped receiving corps that features newcomers Moncrief, Chark and Seferian-Jenkins. Bolster running game Norwell should help that faltered late last season, especially in playoffs. Stout defense returns 10 of 11 starters, which should allow coordinator Todd Wash to make seamless tweaks to stunts, blitzes and coverages to become more diverse.EXPECTATIONS: With nearly every key starter and entire coaching staff back, Jaguars expect to be AFC contenders in Doug Marrones second season. They surely will be trendy pick to win AFC South and make consecutive postseason appearances for first time since 1998-99.Sam Darnold is about to make NFL history.The New York Jets plan to have the 21-year-old rookie start Monday in Detroit Brandon Mebane Jersey , making him the youngest quarterback to do so in an opener since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. And just to put Darnold in the spotlight a little more, he is set to become the first rookie quarterback to start a season opener on "Monday Night Football."Darnold acknowledged celebrating his accomplishment before shifting his focus and sounding like a veteran."I know that just because I get named the starter doesn't mean that we won the game," he said.Darnold beat out Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater to earn the job perhaps as expected after New York drafted him No. 3 overall out of USC. New York coach Todd Bowles insisted Darnold will be asked to run the team's regular offense that won't be altered to keep it simple for him.Bowles, meanwhile, hopes the Jets' can slow down Detroit when it has the ball."Defensively, you've got to keep the score down whether you got Joe Montana, Sam Darnold or Roger Staubach," Bowles said.Detroit drafted Matthew Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009 and he beat out Daunte Culpepper to start in Week 1 of his rookie year against New Orleans.Stafford said he didn't remember much about the game other than facing the Drew Brees-led Saints, who went on to win the Super Bowl after opening with a 45-27 win at home over Detroit.It is probably a day Stafford wishes to forget.Stafford was 16 of 37 passes and his 43.2 completion percentage ranks as his sixth-lowest in 125 career games. He threw for 205 yards with three interceptions and his only score was a 1-yard run against the Saints. Brees, meanwhile Nathan Peterman Jersey , threw six touchdown passes.Here are some other things know about the Jets-Lions matchup:THE OTHER DEBUT: Days away from leading an NFL team for the first time, Lions coach Matt Patricia refused to publicly relish it."My 12-year-old self is probably freaking out somewhere," he said.Patricia is very familiar with the Jets because he was the New England's defensive coordinator for the last six years and was on Bill Belichick's staff for 14 seasons."He'll have some things up his sleeve," Bowles said. "He's handled us quite a few times, so we've got our work cut out for us."CATCHING ONThe Jets have a new-look and mostly unheralded receiving corps. Quincy Enunwa is on track to play in his first regular-season game since 2016 after missing all of last year with a neck injury. Terrelle Pryor, signed in the offseason after one disappointing season in Washington, appears ready to play after breaking his right ankle during offseason workouts.Jermaine Kearse led New York with 65 catches last season, but is dealing with an abdomen injury. Robby Anderson is looking to build off a breakout performance in his second NFL season in which he had 63 catches.NO WORRIESThe Lions were lackluster in the preseason, struggling with starters on both sides of the ball, and are not worried about that fact."On Monday night Tyreek Hill Jersey , we don't have to be the best team in the NFL," Detroit receiver Golden Tate said. "We just need to be better than the team we're playing."TRU STORYThe Jets had a lot of salary cap space in the offseason and used a chunk of it to sign Pro Bowl cornerback Trumaine Johnson to a five-year, $72.5 million deal after he had 18 interceptions over six years with the Rams."He's kind of a game-changer," Tate said. "He takes the right chances at the right moment. We're going to have to be real crisp in our routes and find a way to get open."It's going to be a great challenge and I'm not just speaking for him, but for the rest of the guys out there."New York is hoping Johnson can combine with Morris Claiborne to form one of the better cornerback tandems in the league. The Jets also have promising second-year safeties Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye in the secondary, although Maye might not be 100 percent while still recovering from offseason ankle surgery. The confident group has matching T-shirts that read: "New Jack City."SAFETY NETDetroit safety Glover Quin has started 132 straight games, a streak that trails just San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers (192) and Baltimore cornerback Brandon Carr (160) among active players.Follow Larry Lage on Twitter at s://larrylage Authentic Womens Harold Landry Jersey

The Basics
A heads of agreement (HOA) (also known as a letter of intent or heads of terms) is generally a short preliminary document that you and your counterparty might use when you are intending to engage in a transaction to set out some of the main commercial terms of that transaction. It means that both parties know what you've agreed to before you start negotiating the detail of the main agreement and perhaps before significant due diligence has been conducted. Essentially, you're making sure you're on the same page from the beginning.
You may also know HOAs as letters of intent, term sheets, or memoranda of understanding. Either you or your counterparty can prepare the HOA and there is no standard form. They can range from super detailed to just the bare bones. Outside counsel will usually have some draft templates that could be used.
HOAs can be used in many different types of transactions, for example, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, project financing, and private equity transactions. It's up to you.
Pros and Cons
There are lots of advantages to using a HOA, for example:
- Same page – You, your counterparty, your advisers and any other third parties who want to know what you're doing, like shareholders and lenders, will understand the framework and key terms of the transaction, and more importantly, if there are any major commercial issues from the beginning.
- Clarifies negotiations – Because you are only considering the key terms when negotiating the HOA, neither party will get distracted by minor points, so you'll be more efficient and focused.
- Committed – If you agree to be legally bound, both parties will be committed to the transaction and the terms you've set out in the HOA before you've even started negotiating the main agreement. See discussion below.
- Regulation – You may be able to provide a HOA for any clearance, consent or approvals you're seeking from regulatory bodies, including the UK Takeover Code, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB), the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), or the Australian Tax Office.
- For the Seller: Tactics – Usually the HOA is agreed before the detailed due diligence is complete so you may be able to agree some terms with the buyer that they would not have agreed to following completion of the due diligence. Buyer beware.
However, there are some reasons not to use HOAs, which include:
- Time and Money – Obviously, it means more expense from the outset because you'll be incurring time and costs to produce the HOA and then more time and costs to produce the main agreement. You may not have enough time (or money) to do both.
- Unnecessary – If you will only be entering into a simple transaction agreement, then there is probably not much point in agreeing to a slightly more basic HOA beforehand.
- Limitations – If you enter into a legally binding HOA, you will have less flexibility to change your mind once you get around to negotiating the main agreement.
- Regulation – There is a risk that a HOA can breach competition law so you may need ACCC clearances before you agree to the HOA.
- For the Buyer: Risks – Where a HOA can be a pro for a seller, it can be a con for the buyer. You may be putting yourself at risk agreeing to key terms before you know exactly what you're buying.
Thinking about the Terms
You should include the key transaction terms in the HOA. While these will differ depending on the type of transaction, there are a few generic questions you may want to answer in the HOA.
- What is the transaction? Articulate what the transaction is.
- What amount is being paid and in what form? The price may change after due diligence and closer to completion. However, generally parties include a price, perhaps a method of price adjustment, and how the price will be paid – do you want cash, shares, or debentures? – in the HOA.
- Are there any conditions? There are frequently some hurdles you and your counterparty will need to overcome before you can complete the transaction. These could include shareholder approval or regulatory approvals / clearance from ACCC, ASX or FIRB. Work out what they are and then put them in the HOA.
- What's the timeline? You may have an idea of when you want to enter into the main agreement and then complete the transaction, but make sure your counterparty is thinking the same. Putting it in the HOA will give you some comfort and keep you both on track.
- What are we promising each other? Warranties and indemnities are often given by parties to a transaction. You could either outline the key ones or note the level of protection that will be given, for example, providing 'full' or 'light touch' warranties and indemnities.
- How do we want to approach future negotiations? It is common to include an express term that the parties agree to negotiate the main agreement 'in good faith'. However, unless you are quite specific in this term, it can be too vague to be legally enforceable. Such specifics could include referring to the timetable for negotiations, stating expressly who is negotiating, and noting that the parties may still act in their own commercial interests.
Negotiation 101
The top three things to keep in mind when you're negotiating a HOA:
- Be commercial – Focus on the key terms from a commercial and business perspective, not a legal perspective. You'll get to all the legal detail and standard clauses in the main agreement.
- Be careful – Don't rely on being able to change your mind later. Think about the terms to which you're agreeing.
- Be clear – Have you made any assumptions? Are there any procedural matters that need to be completed? Are the terms exhaustive? If that is the case, record this in the HOA. Use clear language and don't be afraid to use examples if they might help.
I Now Pronounce You Legally Bound
Before it is signed, you need to decide whether you want you and your counterparty to be legally bound by the terms of the HOA or you only want the HOA to be a step to further discussions (an 'agreement to agree').
- Lock it in – Reasons to be bound: If you are certain you are and will be happy with the key terms in the HOA (which can be conditional), propose that is binding. This will ensure commitment from the other party to those terms, including the timetable, and provide you with certainty. It will also generate a bit of commercial goodwill.
- Go with the flow – Reasons not to be bound: If you want some flexibility, perhaps to change the terms or walk away from the transaction altogether, only agree to a non-binding HOA. This will also mean you'll have less regulatory hurdles at this initial stage. You can still include some terms that are legally binding, which could concern exclusivity, confidentiality or the costs both parties have incurred in negotiations.
Once you and your counterparty have made a decision, your intention to be legally bound (or not be legally bound) must be expressly and clearly stated in the HOA, either for the whole agreement or just in respect of specific terms.
If there is no clear statement of intention in the HOA and a court needs to decide whether you and your counterparty intended to be legally bound, they may look more broadly at the HOA and the surrounding circumstances. This results in uncertainty for both parties and is something you want to avoid.
However, you can help support your intention by:
- If you want a binding HOA – When drafting, fill in the gaps. Make it as complete and certain as possible. It is also advisable to include a dispute resolution / arbitration clause so you know what to do if there is any future dispute.
- If you want a non-binding HOA – Be non-committal in your words and actions. Show in the HOA and in your conduct that you don't believe that you are bound. Avoid performing your obligations in the terms of the HOA until you are bound under the main agreement.
A final note: The main transaction agreement should contain an 'entire agreement' clause, so that it supersedes the HOA and it becomes the only binding document once executed.
Let's Talk about Tax
Remember, there are always potential tax implications. Think about those of the proposed transaction in advance so you can address them in the HOA and avoid expensive amendments to the agreed HOA down the track. This is something to consider outsourcing as it can be quite complicated.
It is also a good idea to expressly state the commercial reasons for the transaction in the HOA so both you, and the tax authorities in the future, know why you entered into the transaction (and that it wasn't solely for tax avoidance purposes).
Seeking legal advice about tax and the drafting of HOAs will ensure that the above has all been properly considered.
Final Note:
It is important that you have a product recall plan in place for your tech startup that complies with the relevant laws. Recalls can be damaging to your brand and profits and having a plan in case you are faced with this, will minimise the effects on your business.

Welcoming in the Year of the Tiger (Travel from Home #20)
Last year, I meant to fake travel to China in honor of the Lunar new year, but I completely forgot that plan and fake travelled to India instead. This year, I was determined not to forget—and I didn't! I missed out on my library system's dragon dance performance this year, due to room/space limits, but I hope to see it next year in person when it's safer to do so.

Heading South of the Border (Travel from Home #19)
In January, I headed south of the border for my fake travel trip—not to the South Carolina attraction, but to my own fake Mexico experience at home. I had a nice, enjoyable trip to start the calendar year off right.

Tastes of South Korea at Home (Travel from Home #18)
I ventured into H-Mart for the first time ever. A new H-Mart store opened near me about a year ago, but I had never gone in. Choosing South Korea as my destination for December gave me the perfect excuse to force myself to explore it. There was definitely a lot of food with which I wasn't familiar, but I think I made some decent choices in the end. And I'm proud to get out of my comfort zone and try some new things. With my dietary restrictions and introvert tendencies, that's not always easy for me (especially during a pandemic). I was astounded by the variety of food available in H-Mart and look forward to going back at some point to sample all the different Oreo and Kit-Kat flavors not available in regular, US grocery stores!

A Spartan for Life (Travel from Home #17)
I'm not sure why Greece didn't make my first list of potential counties to which to travel. My high school mascot was a Spartan, so Greece deserved to be more than an afterthought. Luckily, it came up in a discussion I had with a friend, and she thrust a book from Greece upon me to read. So I decided to make it my travel from home destination for November 2021.

Food Coma in Peru (Travel from Home #16)
I'm a little late in blogging about my October Travel from Home trip, but I fake traveled to the country of Peru. The hardest part of it for me was the food. There's a Peruvian restaurant within walking distance from my house, and there are another dozen or so close to where I live and work. However, almost none of them had any vegetarian options at all. I knew Peruvian chicken was popular, I just didn't realize it was so popular that restaurants offer almost nothing else!

A Journey to Kenya (Travel from Home #15)
In September, I participated in the Slapshot Readathon and got the idea to read the new book Hockey Night in Kenya. So I decided I would fake travel to Kenya for my monthly trip. Finding a restaurant with specifically Kenyan food necessitated driving about an hour and a half to another state, so it was more of a real journey than I'm used to. It took a little planning, but I had a good time with it.

Strong Emotions in Vietnam (Travel from Home #14)
Once again, a book dictated the country I chose to fake travel to. In August, I traveled from home to Vietnam in August 2021. I had another tough time acquiring the food. While I could probably have gone to H Mart, I don't trust my ability to cook tofu and make it taste decent. I selected a nearby Vietnamese restaurant that had some great choices I could eat and set aside some time to go only to find it had closed. So I sat in the parking lot with my phone, searching for another restaurant. The next closest had almost no vegetarian choices, but I finally located one about twenty minutes away that had lots of vegetarian options as well as desserts.

Not Quite Carnival! (Travel from Home #13)
I was deciding between fake traveling to Peru or to Brazil in July. The deciding factor ended up being a book set in Brazil that I desperately wanted to read. So I spread my travel from home trip to Brazil over two days (though it took me until early August to finish the book).

Canada, Eh? (Travel from Home #12)
This month, my travel from home trip was to the great white north: Canada. A friend sent me a Canada photography book for my birthday for my fake travels, which I actually read a week or so earlier than the rest of the trip. It's been many years since I last visited Canada, but the book brought my previous trips to mind. I look forward to another visit to Canada some day when the borders are back open and it's safe for all. It took me a long time and lots of research to figure out what to enjoy for my fake trip, but I'm happy with the choices I ultimately made.

Coming Out as Single
I'm just 1 person who does a lot of coming out. In today's society, it isn't just those in the LGBTQ+ community who find themselves in the position of deciding whether to come out or not. When we meet new people, those people make certain assumptions about us partly based on context and partly based on society's norms and expectations.

Why Are There So Many Different Pride Flags?
I'm just 1 person who loves how many different pride flags exist. Most everyone is familiar with the rainbow pride flag, which serves as a central symbol for the LGBTQ+ community. But there are dozens more representing different genders, sexualities, and subcommunities. There have also been a number of different versions of the rainbow flag over the years. Why are there so many? The short answer is: because we want everyone to feel seen and represented. But there's more to it than that. Every flag the LGBTQ+ community uses has meaning.

3 Free Documentaries to Watch for Pride Month
I'm just 1 person who doesn't usually watch a lot of documentaries. Unlike my sister, I prefer fiction to nonfiction when it comes to movies, shows, and books. But I recently watched some short, quality LGBTQ+ documentaries I wanted to recommend you check out during Pride month. The best part is that all three of these are amazing. But the second best thing is that they are all free and available on YouTube. Watch and share them with others!

Prayers of Adoration & Confession
Watch or 8:18
God of desert skies and hidden springs,
We cherish the life-giving water of your creation:
deep oceans, nourishing rain and rivers that ebb and flow.
Forgive us for standing by as your processes unravel,
encourage us to consider the significance of our actions.
Help us to support the healing of the Earth,
and appreciate the quiet harmony of peace.
Jesus, who comes bearing hope of new beginnings,
we renew ourselves in you, following your ways
and hoping to share your peace.
Forgive us for the times we have been uncaring
or reacted to a situation before seeking understanding.
Help us to build a community that shares and listens deeply,
Allowing us to respond with compassion.
Holy Spirit, that penetrates the blueness of the sky and the flame red of the rocks,
connecting us through the earth to one another and to God.
Forgive us for ignoring the life that we are called to be part of.
Teach us to listen for you in the voices of those that are pulled by the currents.
Stop us from discriminating based on the colour of a person's passport,
and, with the spirit of wisdom, lead us to act prayerfully
as we light the candle of peace in the world.
Word of Grace
Believe the Good News that comes from God: In Christ we are forgiven.
Thanks be to God.

Prayers of the people
Watch or 41:40
On Tuesday we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ASWC here at BUC.
Hospitality and shared meals have been a part of the ASWC for many years and so I have chosen to offer today's prayers for peace around the image of a table. I invite you to light a taper for your own prayers in the chapel space after the service. Let us pray:
God of the banquet
Jesus, host at the table
Ever present Sprit,
We pray for peace.
We pray for peace in the world, in our church, and in our community.
We pray for a time when we may sit peacefully around a table together,
a table where we can express different political views and values,
a table where we are able to bring different customs, enjoy different foods, and speak different languages.
We pray for a time when we may sit together in peace
and share our stories at the table,
listening to each other as we share hospitality,
learning and understanding each other better.
We pray for a time when we may sit peacefully around a table together
in spite of our different faiths,
and our different beliefs within the same faith,
when we can break bread together
and focus on what we share, rather than what divides us.
We pray for a time when we may sit together in peace and
everyone has a seat at the table
everyone is invited to take a plate and help yourself.
A time when food is made available to everyone,
And there is enough food for us all.
May our tables be places of peace,
May we follow Jesus and be both guest and host,
And may tables be places of hospitality and peace throughout the world
this Advent and in the coming year.
Kirsty Bennett, offered for worship 04/12/2022, Advent 2A

Bozic gives Vacansoleil second Tour of Britain win
Tour of Britain 2010 stage seven photo gallery by Andy Jones>>
Borut Bozic, the Slovenian Vacansoleil rider, won stage seven of the Tour of Britain in a tough uphill sprint into Colchester today ahead of the Antipodean duo of Greg Henderson (Team Sky) and Richie Porte (Saxo Bank).
Bozic's last win was back in February and he was clearly delighted with his victory, which strengthened his second place overall.
"After the last corner I was a little bit surprised at seeing the steepness of the hill and when Greg [Henderson] started sprinting I knew I could beat him, so I just waited until the last 150 metres and then I went," he said.
With two stage wins, Johnny Hoogerland set be crowned King of the Mountains in London tomorrow and Michael Golas leading the Sprints competition by a healthy margin, the Dutch Vaconsoleil team can be happy with their achievements this week.
Large crowds, aggressive riding, sunny weather and Team Sky again trying to control the race in an attempt to get Henderson on the overall podium were the features of the penultimate stage, which started in the Suffolk market town of Bury St Edmunds.
After a flurry of attacks in a wind assisted first hour, a break of two riders - Tom Murray (Sigma Sport - Specialized) and Pieter Jacobs (Topsport Vlaanderen) - escaped from the peleton.
The pair built up a maximum lead of around three minutes as the race weaved its way around Suffolk's pretty wool towns and villages and into Essex.
Eventually Murray was dropped and within the last ten kilometres Jacobs succumbed to the inevitable as the might of Team Sky and HTC - Columbia chased him down along the flat roads towards the finish.
Clearly, the teams had not anticipated the severity of the finish climb, which led to some notable time gaps.
Henderson explained, "We got it perfect with the lead out but it's a hill! Renshaw had a go but he went from a long way out and really died at 300 metres to go; I had to go then but it proved to be too early."
Tomorrow's circuit-race in London should see Michael Albasini (HTC - Columbia) take the overall honours but the fight for the other podium placings on general classification is set to go down to the wire.

Kris Bryant and Cubs Super Prospects Exceeding the Hype Early in Spring Training
March 13, 2015 by Zachary D. Rymer
By all rights, the biggest star on the field during Thursday's exhibition between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Angels should have been the guy who played Ron Burgundy, Ricky Bobby and Lord Business.
Instead, Will Ferrell found himself playing second fiddle. Maybe even third fiddle. Or even fourth fiddle. Apparently, that can happen when you get the Cubs' three best prospects on the same field.
Yes, the Cubs did lose 10-9 to the Angels, running their spring training record to 1-7-1. But they didn't have to settle...

Expected Council Action
On 7 June President of Gabon Ali Bongo Ondimba will chair an open debate on the impact of HIV and AIDS on global security.
The Council is expected to adopt a resolution.
From 8 to 10 June, the UN General Assembly will hold a high-level meeting on HIV/AIDS ten years after the General Assembly met in a special session and issued a Declaration of Commitment on the topic. Gabon has invited heads of state attending the high-level meeting to participate in the Council debate.
The Council first discussed HIV/AIDS in the context of international peace and security in January 2000. This was a UN initiative under the agenda item "the impact of AIDS on peace and security in Africa." The debate was chaired by then-US Vice President Al Gore as part of a month-long focus by the Council on the special challenges confronting Africa. This was the first time that the Council had identified a health issue as a security threat. Russia and China did not speak.
The UN Secretary-General, the head of the World Bank, the head of the UN Development Programme and the executive director of the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) participated in the debate, plus 26 non-Council members. The consistent message from speakers was that HIV/AIDS was devastating the countries of sub-Saharan Africa.
Six months later the Council adopted a resolution in July 2000 (resolution 1308), under the agenda item "the responsibility of the Security Council in the maintenance of international peace and security: HIV/AIDS and international peacekeeping operations." Adoption followed extensive negotiations that started shortly after the January debate.
The preamble of the resolution:
- recognised that the HIV/AIDS pandemic is exacerbated by conditions of violence and instability; and
- stressed that the HIV/AIDS pandemic, if unchecked, might pose a risk to stability and security.
The operative section of the resolution:
- expressed concern at the potential damaging impact of HIV/AIDS on the health of international peacekeepers;
- encouraged all member states to develop effective long-term programmes and strategies for HIV/AIDS education, prevention, testing and treatment for their personnel, as part of their preparation for participating in peacekeeping operations, and to increase international cooperation to develop such programmes; and
- requested the Secretary-General to further develop pre-deployment and ongoing training for peacekeeping personnel on ways to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.
On 25 to 27 June 2001, the General Assembly held a special session on HIV/AIDS. The General Assembly adopted a Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS with the purpose of setting common targets for reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS and alleviating its impact. According to the Secretary-General, the declaration had five priorities:
- ensuring people everywhere know how to avoid infection;
- stopping the transmission of HIV from mother to child;
- providing treatment to all infected;
- redoubling the search for a vaccine; and
- caring for all those whose lives had been devastated by AIDS, particularly orphans.
In 2005 the Security Council held another debate on HIV/AIDS and international peacekeeping operations and issued a presidential statement (S/PRST/2005/33) highlighting how resolution 1308 had been implemented in peacekeeping operations. This statement also recognised that UN peacekeeping personnel can be important contributors to the response to HIV/AIDS, particularly for vulnerable communities in post-conflict areas, and encouraged further cooperation between relevant UN entities within integrated peacekeeping operations.
Key Issues
The key issue for the Council in June is defining the appropriate scope of the Council's involvement in this issue, given that the General Assembly is also focused at a high level. A related issue is the need to identify the specific security dimensions of the problem of HIV/AIDS.
A second issue is to assess the impact in this area of peacekeeping operations and their ongoing role in addressing the issue in the conflict-affected areas in which they operate.
A further issue is whether to include wider political statements on the risks to stability from HIV/AIDS.
- adopt a resolution that essentially repeats the agreed language in resolution 1308 and S/PRST/2005/33;
- include language reflecting an updated conceptual approach to HIV/AIDS that has developed over the last ten years and use more modern terminology and scientific concepts;
- broaden the focus of the resolution from just the risk to and from peacekeepers to the potential positive role of peacekeepers in helping others infected with HIV/AIDS or in prevention programmes, expanding upon language from the 2005 presidential statement;
- highlight in the resolution the relevance of HIV/AIDS to other key security challenges that the Council regularly considers, such as sexual violence in conflict; or
- identify in the resolution the specific programmes of integrated peacekeeping missions where increased attention to HIV/AIDS issues is warranted, such as in designing and implementing demobilisation, disarmament and reintegration programmes; security sector reform programmes (including prisons management); gender equality and human rights monitoring arrangements; and assistance to victims of sexual violence.
Council Dynamics
Many Council members recall that resolution 1308 was the best outcome possible for the Council at that time, given the differences between members that existed in 2000 on the spread of HIV/AIDS. Many Council members seem to feel that a decade later the time is ripe to update resolution 1308, both in terms of its terminology and scope. Many members seem to believe that this debate and resolution could carry forward some of the concepts on the positive role of peacekeepers in remote, post-conflict communities which have been discussed in recent peacebuilding debates, such as the open debate in February on peacebuilding and development.
Many current Council members are leaders in global efforts to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. South Africa has been a strong advocate in Africa for improving developing countries' access to treatment options. It has also been in the vanguard of developing treatment programmes in its armed services. Brazil is also recognised as a regional leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Latin America. There are also several major troop contributors on the Council, such as India and Nigeria, who seem likely to pay close attention to the importance of implementing and updating resolution 1308.
It should be noted that South Africa has the highest prevalence of HIV infection in the world, followed by Nigeria.
The US welcomes the fact that Gabon chose to pursue this topic in its presidency, given the leadership role the US played in 2000 and the decade since. The US and EU member states have well-developed policies regarding HIV/AIDS, particularly with respect to partnerships with developing countries, to halt the spread of HIV and alleviate the effects for those living with the disease.
Despite support for the topic itself, there may still be resistance based upon concerns about further expanding the concept of threats to international peace and security outside traditional armed conflicts.

What Are Breast Cancer Risk Factors How Do You Get Breast Cancer
Some of the breast cancer risk factors can be modified while others cannot be influenced . It is important to discuss these risks with a health care provider when starting new therapies .
Several risk factors are inconclusive , while in other areas, the risk is being even more clearly defined .
The following are risk factors for breast cancer:
Reduce Your Risk Of Breast Cancer With Early Detection And Prevention
When it comes to cancer, early detection is important, but so is reducing your risk. There are several healthy lifestyle choices you can make to reduce your risk of breast cancer.
Stay lean after menopause. Keep a healthy weight and a low amount of body fat. Eating a healthy diet can help.
Get active and sit less. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity each week. Do strength-training exercises at least two days a week.
Avoid alcohol. If you drink, limit yourself to one drink per day if you are a woman, and two drinks per day if you are a man.
Choose to breastfeed. Try to breastfeed exclusively for six months after giving birth, and continue even when other foods are introduced.
Manage hormones naturally. If you are going through menopause and trying to control the symptoms, try non-hormonal methods before turning to hormone replacement therapy.
In addition to making healthy lifestyle choices, get regular breast cancer screening exams. Screening exams can detect cancer early, when it's easiest to treat. Women age 25 to 39 should consider a clinical breast exam every one to three years. Women 40 and older should get an annual breast exam and a screening mammogram.
Be Aware Of Your Breasts To Detect Breast Cancer Symptoms Early
Studies show that regular breast self-exams are not the best way to detect breast cancer early.
What does work? Being aware of how your breasts look and feel and seeing a doctor as soon as you notice changes or abnormalities.
The vast majority of breast cancers are found during daily activities like showering, applying deodorant or even scratching, says Therese Bevers, M.D., medical director of the Cancer Prevention Center.
Bevers advises women to see a doctor if they have one or more symptoms of breast cancer, no matter how mild they may seem.
You dont need to wait for any particular size or severity of symptoms to get checked out, she says. "The earlier that breast cancer is detected, the better our chances of treating it successfully."
And you shouldnt ignore symptoms just because you breasts don't hurt. Pain is rarely a symptom of breast cancer, she says.
The vast majority of breast cancers are found during daily activitieslike showering, applying deodorant or even scratching.

The Warning Signs Of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is typically associated with women and understanding the various parts of the breast and their functions helps people to be more aware of any changes or abnormalities. Therefore, in this article I will be stating the warning signs of breast cancer and what you should do if you spot one or more of these warning signs.
What is a Normal Breast?
It should be noted that no breast is typical. What is normal for you may not be normal for another woman. Some people say their breast is uneven or feels lumpy. So, the way your breasts feel and look may be as a result of your period, having children, losing or gaining weight and taking certain medications. Also, breasts change as you age.
When you Feel Breast Pain or Lump: Is It Cancer?
When you feel a sharp pain in your breast possibly with some tenderness, it may have you wondering if it could be something serious. Breast lump is often the first thing that women and even men notice which triggers a visit to the doctor.
Although, breast cancer generally shows no symptoms in the early stage but here are the few signs to help you identify it.
- Lumps inside the breast or under arm area
- Changes in the breast size and shape
- Pain in a specific area that does not go away
- Prominent veins on the surface of the breast
- Nipple discharge that starts suddenly
- A sore or rash on the nipple
- Swelling, redness or darkening of the breast
- Dimpling of the skin on the breast
- Inversion of the nipple or other parts of the breast.
What Does Breast Cancer Look Like
Much like snowflakes, no two breasts are alike , symptoms of breast cancer can vary across individuals, some people dont even have any symptoms of breast cancer. This is one of the many reasons its important to know what is normal for your body. Many bumps are lumpy, but not all lumps are breast cancer . By regularly performing a breast self exam , you will be more familiar with what is typical for your breasts and it will be easier to detect if something has changed.

Some Warning Signs Of Breast Cancer Are:
- New lump in the breast or underarm
- Thickening or swelling of part of the breast
- Irritation or dimpling of breast skin
- Redness, scaliness, pitting or thickening of the skin or nipple
- Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area
- Spontaneous nipple discharge , including blood
- Any change in the size or the shape of the breast
- Red skin or an area that feels hot
- Pain in any area of the breast that continues over time
If you experience any of the above symptoms, schedule an appointment with your doctor for a clinical examination.
Your Breast Is Changing Colors
Another symptom of inflammatory breast cancer is when your breast skin turns pink or reddish on more than half the breastsomething that can be hard to tell in those with darker skin tones. "Sometimes these changes in coloration can be difficult to find in African Americans and in obese patients with very large breasts," Ricardo H. Alvarez, MD, leads the Breast Cancer Center Institute at Cancer Treatment Centers of America , said on the CTCA website.

What Role Does The Brca Gene Test Have In Breast Cancer
The BRCA gene test analyses DNA to look for harmful mutations in two breast cancer genes . This test is performed as a routine blood test. The test should only be performed on patients who have specific types of breast cancers or have a family history suggesting the possibility of having an inherited mutation. These mutations are uncommon, and inherited BRCA gene mutations are responsible for about 10% of breast cancers.
Vaginal Bleeding Between Periods
Women who experience regular periods may want to consult their healthcare provider if they experience vaginal bleeding or spotting outside of their usual cycle. Irregular vaginal bleeding may indicate endometrial or cervical cancers.
Women who have gone through menopause should seek immediate medical attention if they have any vaginal bleeding.
Spotting does not always occur as a result of cancer. Hormonal birth control, chronic medical conditions, and stress can also cause spotting.
Women should consider seeking immediate medical attention if they experience spotting alongside the following symptoms:
Certain warning signs of cancer occur exclusively or more frequently in men than women. These can include:

There's Dimpling On Your Breast Skin
Noticing some dimpling in the skin of one of your breasts might not seem like a big deal, but it could be a sign of breast cancer, says the Mayo Clinic. The issuewhich is called peau d' orange, due to its resemblance of the texture of an orange peelcould be a sign of a more invasive type of breast cancer.
A Change In The Breast Or Nipple Appearance
- Any unexplained change in the size or shape of the breast
- Dimpling anywhere on the breast
- Unexplained swelling of the breast
- Unexplained shrinkage of the breast
- Recent asymmetry of the breasts. Although it is common for women to have one breast that is slightly larger than the other, if the onset of asymmetry is recent, it should be checked.
- Nipple that is turned slightly inward or inverted
- Skin of the breast, areola, or nipple that becomes scaly, red, or swollen or may have ridges or pitting resembling the skin of an orange

What Are The Symptoms And Signs Of Breast Cancer
Every person should know the symptoms and signs of breast cancer, and any time an abnormality is discovered, it should be investigated by a healthcare professional.
Most people who have breast cancer symptoms and signs will initially notice only one or two, and the presence of these symptoms and signs do not automatically mean that you have breast cancer.
By performing monthly breast self-exams, you will be able to more easily identify any changes in your breast. Be sure to talk to your healthcare professional if you notice anything unusual.
Breast Or Nipple Pain
Breast cancer can cause changes in skin cells that lead to feelings of pain, tenderness, and discomfort in the breast. Although breast cancer is often painless, it is important not to ignore any signs or symptoms that could be due to breast cancer.
Some people may describe the pain as a burning sensation.

When To Get Checked For Breast Cancer
If you're experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, or if you're having pain at times other than the start of your menstrual cycle, it would be a good idea to talk to your doctor about getting a mammogram. Schedule an appointment with your gynecologist, who will typically examine you and then refer you for a mammogram. The American Cancer Society advises women ages 40 to 44 should have the choice to start annual breast cancer screening with mammograms if they wish to do so. Women age 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every 2 years or can continue yearly screening.
Mammograms effectively detect 84% of breast cancers so when you're given a clean bill of health you can set your mind at ease. If your mammogram detects a suspicious mass, you can be evaluated further. If you do have breast cancer, you can expect a better outcome, because the earlier cancer treatment begins, the better the patient outcomes usually are. If you live in Virginia or North Carolina and want to be examined by a breast cancer specialist, contact us at Virginia Oncology Associates. We have locations throughout the state of Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina.
When To See A Doctor
Early forms of cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. Several of the warning signs of cancer in this article are non-specific symptoms that can have many other conditions as the cause.
However, people should not wait to get medical attention. Early diagnosis can lead to early, more effective treatment.
The National Cancer Institute recommend that people see a healthcare provider if symptoms last longer than 2 weeks.
People should speak with a healthcare provider about any new or worsening symptoms, especially if they have a family history of cancer or have certain factors that increase their risk of cancer.
People should seek immediate medical attention if symptoms interfere with their daily lives.

Signs Of Colorectal Cancer
"Colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer don't always cause symptoms, especially at first. Someone could have polyps or colorectal cancer and not know it. That is why getting screened regularly for colorectal cancer is so important," says the CDC. "If you have symptoms, they may include
- A change in bowel habits.
- Blood in or on your stool .
- Diarrhea, constipation, or feeling that the bowel does not empty all the way.
- Abdominal pain, aches, or cramps that don't go away.
- Losing weight and you don't know why.
If you have any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor. They may be caused by something other than cancer. The only way to know what is causing them is to see your doctor."
"Ovarian cancer may cause the following signs and symptoms," says the CDC:
- "Vaginal bleeding , or discharge from your vagina that is not normal for you.
- Pain or pressure in the pelvic area.
- Abdominal or back pain.
- Bloating.
- Feeling full too quickly, or difficulty eating.
- A change in your bathroom habits, such as more frequent or urgent need to urinate and/or constipation.
Pay attention to your body, and know what is normal for you. If you have unusual vaginal bleeding, see a doctor right away. If you have any of the other signs for two weeks or longer and they are not normal for you, see a doctor."
Looking Out For Breast Changes
As well as having your screening mammogram every two years, its important you regularly check your breasts for any changes.
Youll need to get to know the normal look and feel of your breasts, so that you can identify an unusual change. To check for changes, look at and feel your breasts regularly. Here are the signs to watch out for:
If youre aged 50-74, you should still have your regular screening mammogram in addition to checking your breasts even if you feel ok and dont have any symptoms.

Surprising Signs And Symptoms Of Breast Cancer
For American women, breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer after skin cancer. On average, one in eight women and one in 1,000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.
Thanks to breast cancer awareness initiatives launched by charities including Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, most U.S. women and men know that if they, or a loved one, discover a lump in their breast, they should be screened for breast cancer. You may be surprised to learn theres a type of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer, accounting for less than 5% of all cases, that doesnt develop a lump. Instead, this type of cancer blocks the lymph vessels, causing fluids to back up and generating unusual symptoms including persistent breast itching, nipple discharge, and a mark that looks like an insect bite that doesnt go away.
Signs And Symptoms Of Different Types Of Breast Cancers In Women And Men
Breast cancer isnt always associated with having a lump in your breast. This is why it is so important to know what the early signs and symptoms are, as well as to get your annual mammogram. Catching cancer early can mean better or more treatment options. So whether you have a family history or not, here are the warning signs and symptoms you should be paying attention to.

Signs And Symptoms Of Breast Cancer In Men
Possible symptoms of breast cancer to watch for include:
- A lump or swelling, which is often painless
- Skin dimpling or puckering
- Redness or scaling of the nipple or breast skin
- Discharge from the nipple
Sometimes a breast cancer can spread to lymph nodes under the arm or around the collar bone and cause a lump or swelling there, even before the original tumor in the breast is large enough to be felt.
These changes aren't always caused by cancer, but if you notice any breast changes, you should see a health care professional as soon as possible.

Things You Might Not Know About Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Ontario women. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In Ontario, breast cancer happens mostly in women ages 50 to 74 . Regular breast cancer screening is important because it can find cancer early when it may be smaller and easier to treat.
Limiting alcohol can reduce your risk. A healthy lifestyle, including limiting alcohol, can reduce your risk of breast cancer. Other factors that may lower a womans chance of getting breast cancer are not smoking or using tobacco products, having a healthy body weight, and being physically fit.
Breast cancer has one of the highest survival rates out of all of the cancers in Ontario. Studies show that regular mammograms lower the risk of dying from breast cancer in women ages 50 to 74. Deaths from breast cancer in the Ontario population went down by about 47 percent in women ages 50 to 74 from 1990 to 2013. This decrease in deaths is probably due to improvements in breast cancer treatment and more women getting screened.
Changes in the breast are not always signs of cancer. All women regardless of age or risk factors should be breast aware. This means knowing how your breasts normally look and feel so you can tell if there are changes.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about this important topic. Although October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, please keep it top of mind all year long.

Very interesting article by Thomas B. Edsall at the NYT - Why Trump won't let go of his dream of domination. I realize that many of you won't be able to get through the paywall.
Much of the article is the thoughts of psychologists and cultural anthropologists and I will copy a few sections that I thought were interesting.
Trump's behavior in office — from his aggressive morning tweets to the Cabinet meetings he held in which obsequious beta males, like the vice president and attorney general, engaged in elaborate rituals of submission in the presence of their alpha — mirrors closely the tactics of domination and intimidation exhibited by alpha chimps in chimpanzee colonies. More than any other American president in memory, and like Putin and Orban, Trump exhibits what evolutionary social psychologists call "dominance" leadership, which is an evolved tendency (tracing back at least 5-7 million years in human prehistory) to attain status and exert influence in groups through brute force and intimidation. Dan P. McAdams - Northwestern
For coalitionary proactive aggression against a formidable alpha male to be adaptive, it was critical for sub-elite males to ensure that their alliance was stable and that the execution could be performed at minimal risk to alliance members. Only then could they act safely without retribution from the alpha male or his sycophants.
Alpha alliances of sub-elite males could kill coercive alpha males, drastically reducing the reproductive success of coercive alpha males. Such control would also have signaled the limits of acceptable intragroup aggression. The direction of selection on male aggression thus changed as a result: rather than selection favoring coercive behavior that males used to achieve and maintain alpha status, the actions of alpha alliances ensured that selection acted against it. Simultaneously, the necessity of coordination and cooperation for targeted conspiratorial killing of alpha males meant that selection favored proactive aggression, and especially coalitionary proactive aggression. Sarkar and Wrangham
The explanation that best accounts for a novel selection pressure leading to a reduction in reactive aggression starting around 300,000 years ago is the emergence of collective intentionality in the form of language-based conspiracy. The evolution of this newly sophisticated cognitive ability would have led subordinates to socially select against aggressive fighters, creating a reverse dominance hierarchy. The spread of the new style of hierarchy could have occurred by individual learning or by selection of group-cultures, and would have paved the way for diverse selection pressures to additionally influence the evolution of the characteristically human social traits. Wrangham
In his book "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion," Haidt cites Boehm while making the case that the early acquisition of weaponry played a crucial role in the democratization of authority within groups of humans:
Imagine early hominid life as a tense balance of power between alpha males (and an ally or two) and the larger set of males who are shut out of power. Then arm everyone with spears. The balance of power is likely to shift when physical strength no longer decides the outcome of every fight. That's essentially what happened, Boehm suggests, as our ancestors developed better weapons for hunting and butchering.
Once early humans had developed spears, Haidt continues, anyone could kill a bullying alpha male. And if you add the ability to communicate with language and note that every human society uses language to gossip about moral violations, then it becomes easy to see how early humans developed the ability to unite in order to shame, ostracize, or kill anyone whose behavior threatened or simply annoyed the rest of the group.
We're always in danger of slipping back into the dynamic of dominance. In democracies, voters, on average, favor the taller candidate and often crave a "strong leader." Presidents and prime ministers, for their part, often arrogate more power than the constitution allows. The system of laws that constrains the leader's power is often tested to its limits, and in countries that are not democracies, their only hope may be what Sarkar and Wrangham call an "alpha coalition," namely the coup-plotters that many of us hope might someday depose Putin. Pinkham
My random thoughts regarding this line of inquiry was a question about those trogs that follow the "strong man leader" being on a lower evolutionary quadrant of some kind, making real communication and understanding with the knuckle dragging dullards near impossible.
The second thought was that Carl Jung would have a field day with this in an archetypal sense. It is pitched right down his collective wheelhouse.

One Prius, Two Prius, Pink Prius, Blue Prius by Jerry Guarino
There is no actual proof that there are more white Prius cars than any other model in California. Some estimates put the number at over two million. The hybrid car became so popular that Toyota began making personalized versions to match owners particular interests. There were models to match your college colors, cars with artwork laminate and even a baby blue and pink model to celebrate newborns. Tony and Barbara sat in the first table at the wedding of their son Jim. You might remember Jim from the time he took his shotgun trying to excavate that pesky rooster from his parents home. Now, he was betrothed to Dianne, the girl he first met in Sunday school, fifteen years earlier. They were a striking couple, Jims rugged good looks and Diannes classic beauty like the French statue she was named for. Surely the children would be just as handsome or beautiful as they were. It wont be long before youre a grandmother dear said Tony to his wife. Oh, I cant wait. Ive already started picking out patterns for baby clothing and blankets. Baby blue? Probably. You know Jim. Hell want a boy Im going to say theyll have a girl, so better buy some pink too. It was a flawless wedding. No drama or problems. All the couples friends and family were there and the youngsters partied long into the night.
Jim was a type A force while Dianne was more reserved, but together they blended well. Like many young couples, they spent a lot of time out, visiting wineries, going camping and having friends over for dinner. Most of their friends were married the same year they were, so there were a lot of weddings to attend. Diannes sorority sisters were all ready to set up families of their own. A short year later, Jim was able to buy out the motorcycle shop he worked for. After another year, they had saved enough money to make a down payment on a house. At the housewarming party, many expected this couple to announce the third grand surprise, a baby. Tony, you still driving that antique car? Jim loved to make fun of Tonys Prius. Yes, still getting 50 miles to a gallon too. How about that truck of yours? Youll have to get rid of it when you have a family. Need a good four door with good mileage. Tony, did you hear that Toyota is recalling the Prius with a brake problem? But dont worry, Prius cars dont go fast enough to need brakes. Good one Jim. Remind me that when youre paying $80 to fill your tank. Tony and Jim had this sort of friendly joking about Jims high-powered truck and motorcycles and Tonys practical hybrid car. Dianne even chimed in. Jim was having a nightmare and I could distinctly hear him say, no, not another Prius. Tony and Barbara enjoyed this ribbing. Barbara took Tony aside and asked in a whisper. How long before you think Dianne will be pregnant? she said. Actually, she looks quite content today. I wouldnt be surprised if she was already there. Did you notice she hasnt had any wine today? Youre right. I didnt catch that. So Tony asked Diannes father what he thought. Say youre right. She usually has had a glass of wine by now. Should we start a pool on the birth date? Tonys prediction was confirmed the following week when the couple visited them on a Sunday afternoon. Dianne gave Barbara a card with a picture of two motorcycles and three helmets, one obviously too small. The caption read:
Looks like were going to need that sidecar!
But the helmet is blue said Barbara to Jim. Do you know that its a boy? Jim and Dianne shook their heads. No, but we have a good feeling; were not going to find out until the birth. A surprise is nice, said Barbara. So long as the baby is healthy. All our friends think its going to be a boy. Then plan on a girl said Tony. Thats just the way life works.
Dianne went into labor two weeks early. Jim was stuck at work helping one of his employees who was injured by an exhaust pipe. By the time he got the phone call, there was a pileup on 880 from an accident. He tried to keep Dianne calm on the cell phone. Dont worry honey, Ill be there in time to help you. Are your parents there? Only Barbara and Tony. My parents should be here soon though. Jim, I love you. I love you too sweetheart. Ill get there as soon as possible. The pain got so strong that the doctors gave Dianne something to relax her, and then rushed her into the delivery room. As Dianne relaxed, she mumbled something to the nurse. OK, I got it. You just relax mom. Were going to do a C-section. Jim rushed into the hospital in time to see the nurse gently placing his new daughter into one of the cribs in the nursery room. He was overcome with emotion, shedding more than a few tears. He motioned to the nurse to bring her over to the glass divider. Can you bring her over to me? The nurse carried the pink bundle over to her new father. She had blue eyes, blonde hair and an adorable button nose. This was the greatest moment of his life, even trumping his wedding day. He had so many plans for her; to give her everything she needed until the day he would walk her down the aisle at her wedding. Jim stood there smiling and crying at the same time. Then he noticed the little ankle tag around her leg. Prius Elizabeth Mariani, 6 lbs. 4 oz., born on April 15, 2013 at 4:24pm. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he screamed and ran to his wifes recovery room.

News from the Lake County Sheriff's Office
BIG ARM — On Nov. 25, 2020, the Lake County Sheriff's Office began investigating the discovery of human remains in Big Arm State Park.
At the time, it was suspected they could be the remains of 37-year-old Miranda "Rosie" Kenmille, of Elmo; however, further confirmation of this was needed in order to positively identify the remains. The Montana State Crime Lab was able to determine via DNA that the remains are those of Miranda Kenmille.
Kenmille was last seen in Elmo in August of 2020, but she was not reported missing until about one month later, in September. The circumstances of Kenmille's death are still under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff's Office, and we are asking for the public's help in this matter. Inquiries or information regarding this investigation should be directed to Detective Dan Yonkin at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The City of Whitehorse has moved to revoke the business licenses of two taxi companies citing repeated violations of the city's vehicle-for-hire bylaw.
The city says the decision to pull the licenses of Premier Cabs and Grizzley Bear Taxi was a last resort after all efforts to secure voluntary compliance were exhausted.
A city representative would not elaborate on the reasons behind the decision or the specific violations that led to it. They noted that the business owner has the right to appeal within 30 days. If an appeal is received a city council meeting will be convened and past complaints and convictions may be presented for them to consider.
The companies were recently fined $1,000 each for failing to have accessible vehicles available, according to reports from CBC Yukon.
Both Premier Cabs and Grizzley Bear Taxi are registered with the Yukon corporate registry under the same numbered company. The director of Premier Cabs is listed in registry documents as Midhun Madhu and the director of Grizzley Bear Taxi is listed as Midhun Madhu Kalpak.
The revocation of the taxi companies' business licenses goes into effect at midnight on March 24.
"The public is encouraged to find alternate methods of transportation or use alternate Vehicle for Hire companies," the city's statement on the matter reads.
"Passenger and driver safety continues to be a priority for the City of Whitehorse."

Rob Dipiero always knew he was destined to do something different than waiting on tables. As a smart, personable server at Swiss Chalet in Saint John, New Brunswick, Rob was no stranger to being solicited for sales jobs by his customers, including Michael McCarron. Michael, EXIT Realty's gregarious Supervisor of Growth and Development for Canada, immediately recognized something special in the young server and asked Rob if he had ever considered a career in real estate. Neither could have predicted how that chance meeting would change the trajectory of Rob's life.
Michael and Rob bantered over hockey and chicken for more than three years, then, "One day, I took a hard look at where I wanted to go in life," Rob recalls. "I was working for a man who had dropped out of high school and built fortune but also a legacy in multiple businesses and I realized that if I wanted that lifestyle, it was all up to me." Rob assessed his skills and believed he was a good communicator and he wanted to help people, two of the main ingredients needed to become a successful real estate agent. At last, the time was right and he reached out to Michael.
Michael invited Rob to meet some of the agents at the local EXIT brokerage, all of whom were happy to share their time and perspective. "I remember leaving that meeting thinking I didn't care if EXIT sold vacuum cleaners; if this was the type of people the company attracted, I wanted to work there. For me, it was about working with people who shared my values," recalls Rob.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing. "I really struggled. I wasn't half as good at communicating with people as I thought I was," he remembers. "A couple of years in, I had no clients, no listings, no sales on the books, $32 in my bank account, and a mortgage payment coming due in 14 days. I was riddled with anxiety and things weren't good at home. I called Mike and told him I was done. He said to me, 'If there's any chance at all, would you take it?'" Figuring he had nothing to lose, Rob answered yes.
Through Michael's coaching, Rob knocked on doors over the following weekend, handing out 714 business cards, making 714 connections, and the following week, the phone started ringing. "The lesson I learned is that if you do the work, it'll work," he said. And work it did. Rob went on to close 37 transactions that year and win his first of many awards.
His next goal was to work smarter, asking himself how he could take 25 listings and earn $150,000. "It starts with having a goal and then you break your goal down," he realized, "You can't organize your day if you don't know what it is that you even want."
His experiences inspired him to share what he learned with others. "I think the struggle really helped me understand that while challenge is necessary for growth, a lot of it can be avoided." Rob approached the brokerage ownership with a plan to onboard, mentor and train agents to avoid the pitfalls he had encountered, and in his new leadership role, Rob found his lane.
Today as the Director of Growth and Sales at EXIT Realty Specialists, Rob plays a pivotal role in the brokerage's growth by helping to select the right agents to join their team. "There's only one requirement – if I think they're cool – and what I mean by that is they share our values," he says. "We're looking for hardworking, empathetic people who are self-aware and grateful, with a focus on entrepreneurship."
Rob believes an entrepreneurial drive is key to success at EXIT Realty in order to take advantage of the company's unique business model which provides the opportunity to earn an additional income stream by helping the company grow through a process known as sponsoring. "If you're an entrepreneur at heart, you understand multiple incomes streams," he says, "If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and you want to be the best real estate agent, then we're interested. But if you only want to be the best real estate agent, maybe we're not the right fit for you. This is a partnership."
Rob's approach to training and coaching is to introduce new ideas through conversations with special focus on helping the agents take advantage of the EXIT Formula. "Our agents know we have the systems and support in place to help not only them, but anyone they introduce to our office, so they sponsor with confidence."
Rob takes full advantage of the EXIT Formula too, and to-date has introduced ten people to the company. EXIT's head office pays Rob a 10% thank you bonus based on their production. Should Rob decide to take a break or retire from real estate, his 10% sponsoring bonuses would convert to a 7% retirement/lifestyle residual, and should something happen to him, Rob's beneficiary would earn a 5% legacy residual. Rob is building a future not only for himself, but for his young daughter, Brielle.
"I think one of the greatest blessings in life is being a good father," he shares, "One thing that I've really enjoyed about my career in real estate is making my family a part of it. And of course, with sponsoring, if I get 'hit by a car' right now my daughter will benefit from a beneficiary income that's probably greater than most adult's annual income."
Rob sums it up this way, "I really enjoy being a builder of people and seeing them grow. I enjoy teaching them how to leverage their time and effort – and the EXIT Formula – so they can spend time doing the things they love." Rob was on vacation in the US when the power of the EXIT Formula hit home. "I received 13 sponsoring bonuses while I was sitting by the pool. I thought, 'Now this is leverage.' Being an entrepreneur means earning money not only as a result of your own efforts but also those of other people; real estate is just the vehicle. EXIT makes that possible."

High-frequency electrosurgical knife use process:
1. Assess the patient, ask whether the patient wears metal, whether there is metal implant in the body, whether a permanent pacemaker is installed, and whether the patient's body is in contact with the operating bed, and whether it touches other devices the metal parts.
2. Prepare high-frequency electrosurgical equipment and sterile monopolar and bipolar coagulation lines.
3. Insert the power supply of the high-frequency electric knife into the three-phase electric socket.
4. Insert the foot switch port into the corresponding socket of the high-frequency electric knife.
5. Turn on the power switch of the high-frequency electric knife, let the machine conduct self-test, the circuit board will alarm, and the REM red light will flash.
6. Connect the return electrode, paste the return electrode plate on the appropriate position of the patient's body, the green light of REM will flash, and the alarm will be contacted.
7. Separate the electrode electrocautery and bipolar electrocautery line on the operating table, do not wrap them around metal instruments, and insert the interface end of the host into the corresponding socket of the high-frequency electrocautery.
8. Select the appropriate output power and output mode. Under normal circumstances, the output power of the operation is 30-70w.
9. The surgeon can use manual or foot control to test the output of the electric knife for backup.
10. During use, the nurse should use the electric knife cleaning sheet to remove the organic eschar on the electric knife head in time. When not in use temporarily, the electric knife should be placed in the insulating protective cover. Once the electric knife head is found to be malfunctioning, it should be replaced in time.
11. At the end of the operation, turn off the power switch, pull out the monopolar and bipolar power cords, remove the electrode plates, pull out the power cords, and clean the equipment.
The above is the introduction of the use process of high-frequency electrosurgery. Compared with traditional mechanical scalpels, high-frequency electrosurgery can greatly shorten the operation time, and can also reduce the amount of blood loss and blood transfusion of patients, thereby greatly reducing the complications after surgery. For patients, it can also reduce the cost of surgery, which is more cost-effective.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Passion and concern were the two main emotions exuding from the roughly dozen community members who spoke Wednesday during a special call Huntington City Council meeting as they asked not only for more action from city officials but also from the citizens of Huntington in light of recent homicides.
"If y'all don't stand up and y'all don't rise up, y'all might as well sit down and give up," Toi Wilson told the 40 or so community members and city officials in council chambers. "Y'all want these police officers to do their job. Do your job and help. Call when you got the dope man living next door."
The purpose of the Wednesday meeting, which was called for Tuesday afternoon, was to share an action plan with the public on how the Huntington Police Department plans to combat the recent string of homicides, mostly drug related, which has resulted in the death of three Huntington residents since the beginning of December.
Over the past few weeks, Dial said the detectives in the department's Violent Crime Unit and Special Investigations Bureau have spent time developing a Violent Crime Prevention/Suppression Initiative.
Through this initiative, a group will be formed from various bureaus that will be assigned extra duties to supplement the detectives in the Violent Crime Unit, Dial said. The officers will be responsible for surveillance, arrests, locations of wanted suspects and prevention of crimes by working intelligence provided by the Violent Crime Unit.
"We can no longer continue to just respond to crime. This initiative will provide a proactive, preventative measure to the hard work our officers are already doing," Dial said.
Dial said the department is also actively working on addressing the issue of manpower. While HPD has the capability to have up to 103 officers, the force currently sits at 95 officers. Only 89 are deployable, as six of the officers are unavailable due to injuries or military leave.
In an effort to increase their numbers in the immediate future, Dial said the department is reaching out to former and retired officers in addition to ramping up its recruitment effort.
While they are prepared to hire three new officers in January, who will then be sent to the academy, Dial said the recruitment process is lengthy and takes roughly 18 months from start to finish.
In his final point, Dial stressed the importance of maintaining active partnerships with other local, state and federal agencies. He said discussions with the U.S. Attorney's Office are ongoing concerning the department's analysis capabilities. Dial said he also met with representatives Wednesday from the Appalachia High Drug Intensity Trafficking Area, the FBI and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on bringing additional federal resources to the city.
Following Dial's remarks and a quick back-and-forth with council members, where they criticized the department's recruitment efforts as well as the Cabell-Huntington Health Department's needle exchange program and the use of Narcan, the next hour of the meeting consisted of more than a dozen residents voicing their concerns about a city that is facing its highest homicide rate.
Republican Cabell County Commission candidate Steve Davis was among the first to speak. He said he had not come to ask more questions of council, but to provide answers.
"The issue that must be solved first is where to put the criminals and the addicted when they are arrested," he said. "This will be done with the assistance of the governor … Modular units and the National Guard is the quick answer to this."
Davis echoed Dial's plea for more officers and said a show of force is crucial in locking up criminals and ensuring more do not return.
While some residents, like Davis, believed an increase in law enforcement was the answer, others believed the answers were rooted in the community's response.
Wilson, 31, said she was familiar with the two victims killed this week and asked that their deaths serve as a wakeup call to the rest of the community.
"We've got all these problems within the community because people within the community are helping aid these problems," she said. "Everyone wants the police to do something. What are the police going to do if we don't help them?"
Dial said the department's anonymous drug and crime tip line, 304-696-4444, is a valuable source used in many investigations.
The public outcry comes on the heels of Huntington's 18th homicide, which took place Tuesday morning in the city's Fairfield neighborhood.
Of the 18 homicides, Dial said nine are drug related, five are the result of domestic violence and four are alcohol related.
While the department has been able to make arrests in 13 of the 18 homicides, there continues to be a growing concern from the public as the number of homicides rises.
In the past four months alone, the Police Department has responded to at least two homicides each month.
Although some have been close in proximity, Dial said it is too soon in the investigation to determine if they share a common cause.
