Our group, Yarning with Friends, is made up of Friends of the Modesto Library members who make art with yarn and install it in and around the library. Our first class for beginners, on Oct. 11, went well, so we're now offering monthly classes. Returning students, please join us on the first Monday of every month and continue learning in our free classes. Missed the first classes? Don't worry. If you're a beginner, or someone who needs their skills refreshed, just start attending as soon as possible. We'll get you caught up in no time!
We'll show you the basics of knit or crochet so you can soon make a small project for yourself or donate to the projects Yarning with Friends makes for the Modesto Library throughout the year (like the yarn-bombed chairs pictured).
Even if you need no help, these Monday nights will be a nice time to just sit and stitch with friends. Maybe you can even help a newby improve their skills.
Details and registration form below under tab EVENT DETAILS.
This class will take place in the maker space on the main floor of the Modesto Library.
- 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm
This is a continuation of our group's first knit and crochet classes. There is:
- No cost
- No commitment to continue attending classes (but we hope you'll want to!)
- No commitment to work on any Yarning with Friends projects
Our plan is to offer group instruction in knitting one month and crochet on alternate months. Each class will have (1) an area for group instruction (crochet on Dec. 6), (2) an area for one-on-one help with the skill not being taught (knitting on Dec. 6), and (3) an area for people working on the current Yarning with Friends project.
You'll need a few supplies. If possible, bring knitting needles (medium size, straight or circular), a crochet hook (medium size), scissors, ruler or tape measure and a small amount of worsted weight yarn.
The class is free, but we ask that you register, using the form below.

Arkansas teens are giving birth at a rate nearly double the national average, according to a new report from the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.
The Arkansas teen birth rate is 27.8 per 1,000, while the national rate is 15.4 per 1,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The only state worse than Arkansas for teen birth rates is Mississippi by one-tenth.
Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families named multiple variables that contribute to the state's high rate, but the "biggest difference is their [the teens] use of contraceptives." As Arkansas teens age, they become less likely to use effective contraceptives, which is unlike young people in other states.
According to 2020 Arkansas law, Arkansas schools must teach abstinence, and curriculum is not required to be medically accurate. If students want contraceptives, parental consent must be given in writing, and the clinic has to keep records of distribution. Also, Arkansas law states that no school-based health clinic or state funds should be utilized for abortion referral or services in public schools.
Alongside these laws, the state has almost completely banned abortion, with no exception for rape or incest. The only exception to the law is if the abortion will save the pregnant person's life.
To combat the high teen birth rate, Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families recommended policy solutions such as mandatory statewide curriculum for "medically accurate sexual education" and free access to long-acting, reversible contraception. It also said that the state should expand access and eliminate barriers to health care for Black women and girls, and target communities whose birth rates are far above the average.
While both the national teen birth rate and the Arkansas rate have decreased in the last decade, other states have cut teen pregnancy rates more quickly. Arkansas is one of 10 states that have a rate from 20 – 28 per 1,000. Among Arkansas girls who become pregnant, 78% said they did not become pregnant on purpose.
While teen birth is one trackable statistic, the lives of the children born afterward is also worth investigating. Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families said that giving birth at a young age has "serious implications for a family's health and standard of living." The demands of parenting and providing for a child can easily put further education out of reach, decreasing earning potential for young parents and making resources like medical care, housing and utilities difficult to provide. In turn, these factors impact the child's achievements academically, professionally and economically.
"Children whose parents are teens are more likely to become teen parents themselves, which contributes to the cycle of poverty and lower education levels," according to the report.
The report also noted that there is a racial disparity among young mothers — Black mothers are "much more likely" to give birth preterm to babies with low birth weights. This group, while no more sexually active than other groups of teens, has the highest rate of teen births in Arkansas, with 43.2 per 1,000.
This disparity can be traced partly to inequitable health care access for the Black population, according to the report. While Black teens are more likely to use condoms than white teens, they are less likely to use more effective forms of birth control that require a prescription or medical procedure.
Compared to national levels, the Asian/Pacific Islander population has the highest discrepancy with national rates. The teen pregnancy rate for Asian/Pacific Islanders in Arkansas is 8.5 times higher than the national average, at 31.5 per 1,000, compared to 3.7 nationwide.
White teens in Arkansas have a birth rate that is more than double the national average, at 25.3 per 1,000 versus the national 11.4 rate.
Furthermore, infants born to women under age 20 are at a higher risk of dying, according to the report. Arkansas is currently third highest in the country for infant mortality, behind Louisiana and Mississippi.

Regarding the roles of PVAT on improvement of atherosclerosis, present study indicates dual effects: pro-GlyT2 Inhibitor custom synthesis atherosclerotic and anti-atherosclerotic. 3. Pro-atherosclerotic effects of PVAT The inflammatory cells resident in and recruited by PVAT happen to be hypothesized to be responsible for myofibroblast recruitment or proliferation, contributing to vascular remodeling.34 Consistent with this, a current study utilizing a murine model of chronic inflammation by way of TNF- injection found that PVAT inflammation led to MMP-mediatedArterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. Author manuscript; readily available in PMC 2015 August 01.Brown et al.PageTGF- production, resulting in neointima formation.80 Additionally, vascular HSP70 Inhibitor Molecular Weight injury has been reported to upregulate proinflammatory adipokines and downregulate anti-inflammatory adiponectin in PVAT in each mice and rats.81 Furthermore, a high-fat diet plan in mice was located to induce a proinflammatory phenotype in the PVAT.82 This similar study also analyzed depots of human adipose tissue. In comparison to subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue, PVAT was found to possess less-differentiated adipocytes, as well as a much more inflammatory signature, with lower expression of adiponectin and greater IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1. A lot more not too long ago, a study highlighted the effect of leptin on neointima formation immediately after vascular injury.83 Diet-induced obesity enhanced leptin levels in WT mice, major to increased vascular remodeling after injury, although this impact was not observed in leptindeficient ob/ob mice. Adenoviral vector-induced overexpression of leptin also led to enhanced neointima formation in this model. Interestingly, the authors also found leptinindependent effects of inflamed PVAT on vascular remodeling.83 These results recommend that PVAT is primed for inflammatory responses. Certainly, the accumulation of macrophages and T cells at the PVAT-adventitia interface in human atherosclerotic aortas indicate that PVAT recruits proinflammatory cells in atherogenesis.84 The concept that perivascular adipose tissue can play such a significant part inside the inflammatory response to atherosclerosis was experimentally tested by transplanting adipose tissue towards the mid-perivascular region on the widespread carotid arteries, which don't typically develop atherosclerosis, in apolipoproteinE-deficient mice.85 Transplant of proinflammatory visceral WAT resulted in atherosclerotic lesions and elevated inflammatory markers, when compared with transplantation of noninflammatory subcutaneous WAT. A postmortem study of atherosclerotic patients likewise found that the PVAT mass was positively correlated with atherosclerotic plaque size.86 Furthermore, PVAT adipocytes release far more angiogenic variables such as acidic fibroblast development factor, thrombospondin-1, serpin-E1, MCP-1, insulin-like growth factorbinding protein-3, and hepatocyte development aspect (HGF), in comparison to other adipocyte cell forms.87 PVAT was discovered to become the only adipose tissue that independently correlated with serum HGF levels in sufferers. This implies that PVAT-derived HGF, which stimulates endothelial cell development and cytokine release from SMC, is actually a mediator of P.

It is not all the persons, who get the opportunity to express important things on their deathbeds.
But the option had Pedal-Ove, and he exploited it to the full in order to come with an important message for his son.
Ove Hansen, better known as Pedal-Ove, died Saturday morning after a short severe illness.
Fritidsmusikeren became a household name in 1982 when he was convicted for the killing of his ex-wife, Brita Hansen and got 12 years in prison.
Ten years later, he was however acquitted, after journalists from the DR had dug out new details in the case, including two witnesses who could provide him with an alibi.
He was awarded 7.5 million dollars in compensation in a case, which is known as 'the biggest miscarriage of justice'.
But it is still from time to time been discussed through because Brita Hansen's killer has never been found.
When the case was dealt with in 1982 was missing the Pedal Ove an alibi between 11.45 and 13.06, which is the period where the Brita Nielsen presumed killed.
But Holiganbet DR-dokumentarerne 'Convicted of murder' and 'Police blind eye' had two new witnesses, who said that they had seen him in time with his at the time 4-year-old son Mads Hansen.
The 14. november in the year came the TV 2, however, with a new documentary by the name of 'the Mystery of the Pedal Ove' , which re-opened the discussion once again.
The set doubting by witnesses explanation, as neighbors to the Pedal Ove has told me that his son Mike stayed with them in the period.
"I'm almost convinced... He (Mike, red.) was the first time in each case, but the second time, I am not convinced. [...] Why I have said that he was with the two times – there has been a svipser there," says Ove Hansen in the TV 2 program.
the Case is recorded also Pedal-Ove on his deathbed, who chose to come with an important message to his son, Mads Hansen, who today is 42 years.
It tells Mads Hansen in an sms to TV 2.
"You just need to know one thing. It was not me who beat your mother to death. This is another idiot that has done it," he allegedly said on his deathbed to his son.
the Assessment was that the Brita Nielsen was kværket to death and then thrown in the harbour. Her body was not found until seven months later.

PM Modi surely knows how to strike a chord with people.
The first thing he did after landing in Qatar on the second leg of his five nation tour did was not to meet Gulf leaders but to interact with Indian workers. He assured them that he will take up problems faced by them during his talks with leaders of the Gulf nation.
Addressing the workers at a downtown camp in Doha, Modi said he is aware of the issues being faced by Indian workers and the companies that bring them there.
#WATCH PM Narendra Modi interacts and shares a meal with Indian workers in Doha (Qatar) #ModiInQatarhttps://t.co/OSJIOxyKrF
— ANI (@ANI_news) June 4, 2016
During his 30-minute stay at the camp, Modi shook hands and interacted with workers and shared refreshments with them. He applauded the workers and expressed his gratitude towards them and said, "When someone from our nation comes, who speaks our language, knows of our land, we want to ask them how they are, know them."
In his speech, he also asserted that India's global image is not made by its Prime Minister or its Ambassador but through the behaviour of India's workers here who earn the nation a good name.
Not only that, he also enquired about the health problems being faced by the workers and found that counselling and diabetes were the two main issues of concern. "Do work hard, but while doing so, please do focus on keeping your health and body fighting fit."
This is what he tweeted after his meeting with workers:

The workers in return were touched after this gesture and many were teary-eyed after meeting him.

Workers from India usually migrate to Gulf and Middle East nations in search of better opportunities, but of late, migrant abuse and exploitative working conditions have been on a rise, leading to a series of deaths of workers. According to figures released by Amnesty, 279 Indian migrant workers died in Qatar in 2014.
The Indian diaspora of over 630,000 form the largest expatriate community in Qatar and constitutes a substantial percentage of the country's population. At present, a number of Indian companies are also involved in construction activities related to the FIFA World Cup being hosted by Qatar in 2022.
Considering Qatar is an important trading partner for India in the Gulf region and also one of India's key sources of crude oil, Modi's visit to the country is seen as an important step for strengthening bilateral relations.

By Sam Hoober, Alien Gear Holsters
There are a number of reasons to make a more compact gun, and for both pistols and long guns. Consumers demand them, and more and more manufacturers are supplying them.
As with everything in life, there's a compromise in there somewhere. In some instances, those compromises are worth it. In some instances, they aren't. In some instances, the compromises can be worth it if you know what you're doing.
So let's say you're a total newbie and you're considering something like a pocket pistol or snubbie revolver, or the compactest rifle, shotgun or pistol caliber carbine you can find because you think – or you've been told! – that it's easier to carry or handier to use. There are some compromises that you need to know about.
None of this is to suggest that the firearm you're interested in won't work for your intended purpose – especially if it's home defense or personal defense – or that it's a bad gun.
Instead, this is to understand that guns are mechanical objects. Changing their specifications changes how they work. Guns are also tools for tasks, and changing how the tool works changes the tasks for which they are best suited. Therefore, understand the task you want the tool for.
Yes, that was unbelievably nebulous, so let's get into this.
The chief compromise is that shorter barrels result in lower projectile velocity. This applies to any type of gun, handgun, shotgun or rifle.
How much that matters depends a lot on what sort of ammunition you're using and what you're using it for. Accuracy won't be compromised, but trajectory will be changed compared to the exact same projectile if it had been sent out of a barrel at a faster velocity, such as a 55-gr .223/5.56mm bullet propelled at 2200 feet per second from a 10.5-inch barrel of an AR pistol compared to the same bullet propelled at 2950 fps from a 20-inch barrel of a full-on AR-15 rifle.
If you're using some sort of expanding ammunition, such as a hollow point bullet, a lower muzzle velocity means that you are closer to the expansion threshold than you would be from a longer barrel.
Let's say that a hypothetical 115-grain 9mm hollow point (or rather jacketed hollow point or JHP) projectile has an expansion threshold of 850 feet per second. Below that velocity, the bullet will not expand in any medium and will just act like a fully jacketed bullet.
Let's also say that this hypothetical bullet has a hypothetical velocity of 1150 fps on average from a 4.5-inch barrel, like the barrel that you'd find in a Glock 17 or Beretta 92FS pistol. However, let us also assume that a compact 9mm with a 3-inch barrel pushes the same bullet out at 925 feet per second on average. The lower velocity puts the bullet closer to the expansion threshold and therefore may not function as well compared to when fired from a longer barrel.
You should be aware that projectile velocity varies from bullet to bullet just due to the varying rates at which propellants ignite and so on. If you were to shoot a whole bunch of ammunition through a chronograph, you might see a swing of up to 50 fps or more for a lot of the exact same brand and box of ammunition.
If you just bought a subcompact 9mm, don't panic. Those aren't real-world figures; those are hypotheticals to illustrate the point. In the real world, 3- to 3.5-inch 9mm pistols typically only lose about 100 fps on average to a 4.5- to 5-inch barrel. For a 115-gr projectile, that's comfortably into the expansion threshold.
However, that's for 9mm; it might be a different story for a different caliber that's slower than 9mm, such as .45 ACP or .380.
With rifles, it becomes a whole other ball game.
It was discovered quite some time ago that the optimal barrel length for any rifle (in the most general sense possible) is between 24 and 26 inches. Any longer and there's no benefit, any shorter and you don't get the optimal performance in terms of trajectory and terminal performance. A slower bullet will drop more over the same distance as the same bullet propelled at a faster velocity.
Say a hypothetical 55-grain .223 or 5.56mm bullet normally exits a 20-inch barrel at 2950 fps, with a trajectory of 1.5 inches higher than point of aim at 100 yards, 0.5 inches low at 200 yards and 4.5 inches low at 300 yards. If the same hypothetical bullet is propelled at 2300 fps from a 10.5-inch barrel, common on AR pistols and short-barreled rifles, the drop could change to 0.75 inches high relative to point of aim at 100 yards, 2 inches low at 200 yards and 10 inches low at 300 yards.
Again, these are not real world figures. This is a hypothetical to illustrate an idea.
Why the heck does this even matter?!
Because if you buy AR pistol, AK pistol, or similar firearm, one of the first things you need to know is that it won't be as effective at longer ranges on man or game and that long-range shooting will be more difficult. Therefore, that .300 Blackout pistol is more of a close-quarters weapon and you should therefore treat it as such.
Besides, the perfect .30 caliber round for long range already exists. Depending on whom you ask, it's either .308, .30-06 or .300 Winchester Magnum, but that's a discussion for another time.
Oh, and another word on shortened semi-auto rifles – and that's the matter of gas.
Modern semi-automatic firearms are all gas-operated. The gases created by the propellant igniting either operate a piston that cycles the bolt (piston-operated) or directly blow the bolt back, which is called direct impingement. Now, the function of that system depends on the correct amount of gas pushing the bolt back and cycling the action.
Now, as a general rule, manufacturers tend to sort out the gas system for the gun – as it's configured by the factory – before it leaves the factory. If you do anything to it that changes the amount of gas that's going back into it – like adding a suppressor or shooting reduced-velocity ammunition – you're going to need to tune the gas system so it runs reliably.
So it really isn't so simple as getting a .300 BLK AR pistol, putting a suppressor on it, and you're good to go with any ammunition you want. The same is true for a short-barreled AK, such as the many "Krink" pistols going about at the moment.
There are some guns of this style made to function suppressed or unsuppressed and with a wide variety of ammunition from the factory, but they are typically quite expensive!
So be aware of that if you're getting into a rifle platform any shorter than carbine length.
Now let's move on to shotguns.
There's no way to sugar coat this. There is no way in which a shotgun with a pistol grip or the club grip on the more recent variations on the theme is superior to a shotgun with a stock. They are not faster to get into action, they are drastically less controllable and it's more difficult to shoot them accurately.
And don't kid yourself for one instant about shotguns not needing to be aimed. If you're thinking "but spread something something" you need to sober up. Besides, only birdshot really has much spread at home defense distances. Buckshot will still be a fairly tight cluster at 10 yards (about the longest distance shot you'll make in most homes) and slugs don't spread. So yeah, shotguns need to be aimed properly.
Where spread does matter with a short-barrel shotgun it's that the pattern will open up faster compared to the more traditional 26- and 28-inch barrel lengths of most scatterguns. That's why the longer barrel is preferable for shooting sports involving shotguns and shot that actually spreads into a pattern such as skeet, trap and, of course, hunting. But that's a whole other kettle of fish, as they say.
It is also true that the market is littered with compact "tactical" or "defense" shotguns – use whatever your preferred adjective is; it's purely semantic and this author doesn't care enough to argue about them – that have a stock. Many are very affordable and very good products.
The form of a weapon often matters less than you think; competence with the weapon will matter far, far more in the moment of truth. Therefore, equip yourself with a tool that will give you the best chance of success, which in the case of lawful armed defense of yourself is the most accurate shot on target you can make in the shortest amount of time. If that tool is a shotgun, the darn thing needs a stock on it.
Ultimately, a gun is a tool for a task. If you're getting a gun for a purpose, such as home defense, concealed carry, sport – or all of the above, and that can be done – you need to understand what tools are best for it.
Compact guns are not bad. They are good tools for certain tasks, and in fact are the best tools for certain tasks. A carbine-length or shorter rifle is better in tighter quarters; a full-length rifle or shotgun is not the best tool for clearing rooms or for carrying in a vehicle. A full-size pistol is not the most comfortable nor as easy to conceal if you're going to conceal and carry. However, you need to understand their limitations, and act accordingly.

The talks for a free trade agreement (FTA) between India and Canada may have taken a pause but will resume once the political row between the two countries is resolved as the pact has economic benefits for both the nations, trade experts and exporters said on Friday.
However, they said that India may not hurry for the trade agreement as 60 per cent of New Delhi's exports are already entering Canada at zero duty.
Earlier this month, India and Canada paused the negotiations for the agreement due to political reasons.
In March last year, the two countries re-launched negotiations for an interim agreement, officially dubbed as Early Progress Trade Agreement (EPTA).
Over half a dozen rounds of talks have been held between the two countries on the trade pact so far.
In such agreements, two countries significantly reduce or eliminate customs duties on the maximum number of goods traded between them.
They also liberalise norms for promoting trade in services and attract investments.
"The current situation is just a storm in a tea cup. We may not hurry for the FTA talks," Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) co-founder Ajay Srivastva said.
He said that there is no compelling case for a trade agreement with Canada.
International trade expert Biswajit Dhar said: "I do not think that the current diplomatic row would impact resumption of FTA talks. It would resume after the differences between the countries will settle down."
Dhar said that both the countries should resume the negotiations as there are enough incentives for the two nations to enter into a trade agreement.
Sharing similar views, exporters from different sectors, including engineering and leather, expressed hope that the talks would resume soon.
A senior commerce ministry official too has said that the moment these political issues are sorted out, the talks will resume.
"It is only a pause," the official has said.
On September 10, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed to his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau India's strong concerns about the continuing anti-India activities of extremist elements in Canada that were promoting secessionism, inciting violence against its diplomats and threatening the Indian community there.
Indian industry was looking at duty-free access for products like textiles and leather besides easy visa norms for the movement of professionals.
Canada has interests in areas like dairy and agricultural products.
The bilateral trade between the countries has increased to $8.16 billion in 2022-23 from $7 billion in 2021-22.
The exporters said that the suspension of visa operations may have certain impact on trade and investments relations between the two countries.
"The trade and investments relations would get a hit if the stand-off continues for longer period and if both sides start taking actions on stop imports from each other.
"However, I do not think that would happen," Mumbai-based exporter and chairman of Technocraft Industries Sharad Kumar Saraf said.
India received $3.64 billion in FDI (foreign direct investment) from Canada between April 2000 and June 2023.

After taking a step in the right direction in an 8-13 campaign, the Chapman girl's basketball team will look to take another in 2022-23 with several key faces returning to the lineup.
The Lady Irish will once again be under the direction of head coach Michael Wahlmeier, who enters his second season at the helm.
While last year's team did graduate four seniors over the offseason, Chapman returns a trio of critical starters, who will fill out a starting five that should look like this come tip-off.
PG- Maya Kirkpatrick (Sr)
PG- Elyssa Frieze (Jr)
G- Grace Merritt (Sr)
G- Ava Locke (Jr)
F- Kiera Jones (Jr)
The Lady Irish will also look for big minutes off the bench from Allison Abeldt (Sr), Avery Baer (Fr), and Tanith Elliott (Jr) throughout the year.
Ahead of the start of the 2022-23 season, we had a chance to catch up with Coach Wahlmeier to get his thoughts on this year's Lady Irish team.
Q: What were your overall thoughts on the 2021-22 campaign?
A: I was really proud of the girls and their efforts last year. We made some great strides together and hopefully built a solid foundation for many seasons to come.
Q: How excited is everyone to get back on the floor and back to playing real games after a long offseason?
A: Everyone is ready for the season. We have several girls that qualified for state track last year as well as three state tennis qualifiers. I think they are learning what it takes to compete at a high level and that is exciting for us as coaches.
Q: Coming into the year what would you say is the biggest strength of this team?
A: We are as athletic as anyone. We are going to challenge these girls to play fast. If we can really focus on transition offense and defense, I think we will be an exciting team to watch.
Q: What are the biggest question marks about this team as we head into the first few weeks?
A: Can we take care of the ball? Playing fast comes with a certain amount of turnovers and you learn to live with that but if we can limit those and learn to be efficient in the half-court I like our chances.
Q: What are the goals and expectations of this team for this 2022-23 campaign?
A: We won eight games last year. I definitely think we are capable of more than that this year. A winning record is a huge goal for us. 'The race to 11' we call it. We also had three games that got away from us last year and resulted in running clocks. That will be a goal for us as well, to stay competitive in every game.
The Lady Irish will open their season on Friday, December 2nd when Chapman hosts the Irish Classic on their home floor.
For continuing coverage of Chapman girls' basketball all season long, stay tuned to the Salina Post.

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has published the latest flag state performance table (2020/2021) which finds that many of the largest flag states, including the Marshall Islands, Hong Kong (China), Singapore as well as the Bahamas and Cyprus, continue to perform to an exceptionally high standard, with traditional flags and open registers performing equally well.
ICS Secretary General, Guy Platten, says: "The flag state performance table clearly indicates that distinctions between 'traditional' flags and open registers are no longer meaningful. Alongside several European registers, and flags such as Japan, we have seen many open registers amongst the very top performers".

Everyone's a Free Taker
With the introduction of the Advanced Mark in Gaelic Football, the game has fundamentally changed. In the stroke of a pen, everyone is now a free taker. No doubt coaches up and down the country will be flat out running 15 second free taking drills. May the team with the best free takers win. But on the flip side, the team with the best system for denying possession from kick passes inside the 45, will also stand a good chance at winning. I know how most coaches are going to solve this one!! |

A Grand CanyonWanna feel small? Then go to the Grand Canyon, a gaping crevice formed by the Colorado River over millions of years. This geological marvel is a layer-by-layer history of North America, and while that's impressive in itself, you'll probably spend most of your time gawking into this expansive landscape and its colors and shapes. The play of shadow and light over the Grand Canyon, to say nothing of the mighty afternoon thunderstorms that visit this area, are truly something to behold. Below are a few suggestions to make your visit even more special. Where to stay: The El Tovar Hotel provides rustic elegance a stone's throw away from the Grand Canyon. One of the early stops for the Santa Fe Railroad, the hotel boasts a comfortable lobby done in cowboy chic, although you might prefer to spend your time on the outdoor veranda (rockers graciously provided) or in the lobby lounge (angle for a table on the back porch, the better to catch a view of those afternoon thunderstorms). Rooms at the El Tovar are spacious and well amenitized, but face it, you'll spend most of your time outdoors here. That said, the El Tovar's location can't be beat. The El Tovar Hotel is a National Park Lodge located on the South Rim. Rates for a double room are $114-$171. Reserve as far ahead as possible. Where to eat: Not far to go for a good meal if you're staying at the El Tovar: the hotel's Dining Room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and the evening meal is a real treat. Cuisine here is Southwestern in feel and draws heavily from the flavors of the region. Begin your meal with the smoked corn chowder with Asiago cheese and continue on to the New York strip or the unique baked blue cornmeal-crusted salmon with a roasted corn tomatillo salsa. Dessert? Chocolate mousse and some cooing in this romantically-lit room. If you're in the mood for something simple and light, head over to the cafeteria at the Yavapai Lodge . What to do: Got film? binoculars? Then you're pretty much set. The Grand Canyon is begging to be ogled, a canvas of orange, purple and blue and other hues too numerous to mention. Best views may be from Mather Point and Yavapai Point, and while both will undoubtedly be busy, the views are worth the effort. As well, take the shuttle along West Rim Drive, an eight-mile road which takes you from the Grand Canyon Village out to Hermit's Rest. You can stop along the way and ponder the great expanse, then hop back on the shuttle when you're ready. If you're feeling sporting, take a day hike along the Bright Angel Trail (closed as of this writing due to storm damage; expected reopening is late July '99). The South Kaibab Trail is a bit more strenuous and should be reserved for those in excellent hiking condition. Finally, if you've got time on your hands, take a mule or horseback ride down to the canyon floor. Overnight accommodations are available at Phantom Ranch, the only lodging in the canyon itself (reserve well in advance). back to 5 minute cities roadsage home |

Caught on Camera: Suspect accused of trying to steal plane from Page Field AirportLehigh looking for help: Latest data shows issues inside, outside the classroom
Daniel Doucette, 41 Deputies have arrested a man suspected of robbing a Wells Fargo Bank last month. On February 28th, deputies were en route to a Wells Fargo Bank bank robbery in Bonita Springs when they learned the suspect, later identified as Daniel Doucette, 41, was demanding money from the teller. Detectives said while Doucette was demanding money, he was placing his hand on his waistband, implying he has a firearm, and telling the victim to wait 90 seconds before calling law enforcement. At that time, a photo of Doucette and a vehicle description were forwarded to the Lee County Sheriff's Office Real-Time Intelligence Center. Detectives worked with SWFL Crime Stoppers to send out an alert with an image of Doucette to generate tips from the public. On March 2, there was a license plate reader hit notifying deputies of Doucette's vehicle entering Bonita Springs. Deputies located his vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, which led to taking Doucette into custody. Detectives found the backpack and clothing Doucette was wearing during the robbery still in his vehicle. Doucette was then arrested on one count of Robbery without a Firearm. "The teamwork shown during this incident by our RTIC, detectives, and deputies is unmatched," said Sheriff Carmine Marceno. "Their combined efforts is the reason another criminal is behind bars."

Last night was the party. It was a delightful event. So many friends arrived and lovely things were said. It was so helpful to hear reflections of the work that was done together in so many places. All of my posse were here. Jenny, Ben, Brian and I enjoyed some time together and started on planning for our next time together. And the food was so fantastic.
Jenny is visiting from Winnipeg and we've had a lot of time to talk about what is next in our futures. She has just finished 20 years of municipal service. Here's a bit of an insight that I want to frame carefully.
Often times when we think about the possibilities that the future holds, and work toward that vision we find ourselves running all sorts of negative 'what if' scenarios in our heads.
As we think about the past, with all of our best intentions, we find ourselves entertaining all sorts of 'should have/could have' thoughts. Last night was so wonderful in so many aspects, and yet by the end of the night I was thinking of ways that I could have been better, shared wittier or more important thoughts during my little speech at the end, been a better host, more prepared etc.
As Jenny and I sat quietly by the fire and the end of the night talking about the loveliness of the evening I shared with her some of these self-doubt thoughts and she quite rightly said 'stop picking at it'. This got me thinking about how hard we can be on ourselves when we think about our pasts and our futures. Our intentions of goodness can be overshadowed by our perceived flaws. We can pick at our past, our service, our decisions to the point that we start colour over our experiences with negativity and blur our good intentions.
It's quite possible that we do the same thing as we envision the future. On day 37 of this autumnal journey I wrote the following.
Dear Past self,
It's February 2020, and I wake up today, look around with awe on all that has changed since Autumn of 2018 when I made those brave decisions to make positive changes in my life which would take me toward the future I enjoy now.
Let me tell you about my life now after all that the end of a wild decade, and the truly creative and forward looking effort that brought me to this new place. In this letter I'll tell you where I live, what it's like here, who's around me, what new interests that I've discovered, how my soul feels and what it means to be me in the world now.
I'll share how I made sense of the journey that brought me to this place where change was needed and became possible…
With love and admiration for the work you are doing and are about to embark on.
— Future self.
I'm still writing this letter to myself even as I've been travelling along the path to 2020. As I reflect this morning I'm thinking about how in the writing of this letter I'm picking at it at the same time.
So, just stop it. Ha! As if its that's easy. At least this little phrase might help us remember to let the goodness of the past be, and as we think about our preferred futures we might also remember to explore possibility without dragging along our internalized flaws.


text: This research presents a concept of using a robot arm as a platform for additive manufacturing. The research being explored is the integration of existing additive manufacturing process technologies with an industrial robot arm to create a 3D printer with a multi-plane layering capability. A conventional 3D printer utilizes horizontal plane layerings to produce a 3D printed part. However, there are drawbacks associated with horizontal plane layering motions, e.g. the support material needed to print an overhang structure and the material property of the printed part is based on the geometric features during additive manufacturing process. In order to enhance the current capability of conventional 3D printing an industrial robot arm platform is proposed for additive manufacturing. This integration combines fused deposition modeling techniques using an extruder head that is typically used in 3D printing and a 6 degree of freedom robot arm. The integration of the robot arm and extruder enables multi-plane toolpath motions to be utilized in the production of 3D printed parts. With the multi-plane toolpath motions in 3D printing, exploration of new toolpath motions that hopes to improve the mechanical properties of the printed part, fabrication time to produce the part, and material usage with the multi-plane extrusion process.

On December 10, RZA and Flatbush Zombies linked up for a menacing track titled "Plug Addicts," and when promoting it, the artists revealed that the song was actually just the first half of their "double feature" collaboration. One week later, Flatbush Zombies and the RZA have teamed up once again for an equally grimy cut titled "Quentin Tarantino."
As its namesake would suggest, their latest collab uses Quentin Tarantino's immaculate filmography as a muse, so the five-minute track is packed with references to many of his movies, from Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown to Django Unchained and Death Proof. Somehow it all comes together as a standalone song quite well, and when experienced along with its Reservoir Dogs-inspired visuals, "Quentin Tarantino" is even better.
RZA & Flatbush Zombies – Quentin Tarantino (prod. Prince Paul, RZA & Erick the Architect)

He walks the streets at night
His shadow follows him in the moonlight
He only travels at night
And he hides during the daylight
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1: Zombie Juice]
Once upon a time before my skin color was a crime
So sublime, read through these Akashic lines
So many blessings, I'm in my four corner room
Starin' at candles, yeah, feelin' like I'm dancin' in the moonlight
I wear these sunglasses at night, aura too bright
Triumphant from dusk 'til dawn, always hustlin' nigga
The evolution will be digitized
Bobby hit 'em with rhythm, linguistics that hypnotize
The image so vivid, baby, check out my gravity
They way I be livin', just tryna get more clarity
Who killed Bill? They shot Kennedy
Malcolm layin' dead like, how they gon' level the playin' field?
Inglorious all cap, vicarious, live through me
They hateful, envious, but they schemin' won't get to we
Been smokin', got cotton mouth, ash in my dungarees
Been smokin', got cotton mouth, ash in my dungarees
Don't let this sin wear you out in the city of gods
Speak from the heart, lead with action, had a frivolous thought
Bismillah, peace to my Umi, my grandfather, he live through me
In the night, sometimes I feel like it's voices talkin' to me
Connected to a higher power, they couldn't find me like Assata
Weh dem a do like Mavado, and I'ma shoot if I gotta, bow
[Chorus: RZA]
Yo, what the fuck's up in that briefcase?
Yo, what the fuck's up in that briefcase?
Wait, what the fuck's up in that briefcase?
Yo, what the fuck's up in that briefcase?
[Verse 2: Erick The Architect & RZA]
Grindhouse, we slaughter refined amounts
How could we be this hateful? It's only eight of us now
Bro, RZA slid me this blade, system's takin' us out
They killin' us all, but we endure, Reservoir Dog
I'm Mr. Orange, so since we sparrin', I put my all in
Your whip be stallin', unchained, unhandled, Django is dormant
They pat me down, nigga you don't know? You better ask around
It's been half an hour, blast the sound, where's Jackie Brown?
They happy now, in staccato, cut he convo, desperado
We need to switch the toggle, this an album like a bible
My arrival like, this a sermon, been determined
Read the verbiage, we deserve it
Yearnin' for them diamonds, yellow light, Uma Thurman
Load the burners, smokin' herbs and see my earnings
And we just hit the Wu to re-confirm we need your service, nigga
Ayo, do the knowledge son
I want you to go out there and chop their heads off
Let 'em know what it be, bong
I'm walkin' on deaf ears, I swear they hear me somehow
They speak to me in this vision, I see them floatin' around
I thought I was proof of death, my death prove majestic
Known to especially investigate, we check this method
Unnecessarily they still request it, I still respect it
It's all subjective, they can't relinquish my effervescence
It's just my blessings, procure this message
Ego is stretchin', listen to every single suggestion
It's sin in my city, regime, link the Wu, we redeem
May we move with prestige, you ain't rude as it seems
They on the lease, I'm dragon, they maltese
Don't envy the fear of man, they mute when the God speaks
[Chorus: RZA]
Yo, what the fuck's up in that briefcase?
Yo, what the fuck's up in that briefcase?
Wait, what the fuck's up in that briefcase?
Yo, what the fuck's up in that briefcase?
[Verse 3: Meechy Darko]
The moth has no idea that the fire's gonna burn him
But the person, the person know that bullets they be hurtin'
Meechy Tarantino, but I used to shoot like Kubrick, baby
Get a hateful eight, my barrels full, I do not do the clips
The Grindhouse, the trap spot
One time I seen my bro break down crack rock
With his lap shot, Jackie Brown, gats be 'round
I pray police don't pat me down or badger me
Please don't let that badge lead to blam-blam, casualty, casualty
Let's move on before we find one of your dogs in a reservoir
A legend, I am death proof, flesh made of Teflon
Desperado, dancin' in gunfire with my weapon
My true romance is bloodshed and Armageddon
New York City nigga, yellow coupe, black stripes
Might just Kill Bill these niggas, cut 'em to pieces
Hasta la vista, can't rebuild these niggas
From dusk to dawn, my heart froze
Never feel these niggas, never feel these niggas
He walks the streets at night
His shadow follows him in the moonlight
He only travels at night
And he hides during the daylight
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

- Due to the use of carbon filters, these masks are washable and reusable
- One size but adaptable to (almost) all face sizes
- 100% polyester to dry faster and avoid the problem encountered with cotton masks which get wet very quickly which reduces their protective capacity
You can wear this mask every day, going out shopping, going to party in real life, or in Zoom, in short, the woman Lili Warrior is chic every day!
The lace of the mask is made in Guatemala by a small company run by women. The assembly and shipping are done in China by the team of Bella, our dear warrior in charge of stock management and some manufacturing. Why isn't everything assembled and shipped from Guatemala? Quite simply because the post of this country is anything but serious! Some would say that these round trips are polluting but when you know the weight of a mask (less than 15 gr), the fact that it only takes the place of a very large envelope on already programmed cargo planes, the difference is minimal.
We always try to do our best to offer you products that are in line with our ethics. Sometimes we use recycled materials, sometimes we work with small structures, sometimes we do both and more. And above all, we donate 1% of our income to an animal protection association, the Animal Rescue Foundation.
The whole Lili Warrior team hopes that this new drop, the SEXY LACEY lace mask will please you as much as it did for us!

Thakur Bhanu Pratap Singh, the President of Bhartiya Kisan Union and Sardar VM Singh who had been leading the farmers' protest for Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan on Wednesday expressed grief over what happened in Delhi on January 26 and said that they don't support violence and thus are withdrawing from the protest right away.
VM Singh while addressing the media said, "I can't carry forward protest with someone whose direction is different. I wish them best but VM Singh & Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan are withdrawing from the protest".
Besides withdrawing from the protest VM Singh also blamed Bhartiya Kisan Union's spokesperson, Rakesh Tikait, for the violence that was unleashed in Delhi.

For the unaware, a video of Rakesh Tikait has been going viral wherein he can be heard asking the farmers to be armed with lathis for the Republic Day tractor rally.
In the video, Tikait could be heard saying "The government is not listening. Come with your sticks and flags." And after a 'pause', Tikait is asking his supporters to "understand his words, come along with tiranga atop lathis".
The pause must be heard.
After the post went viral, Tikait came forward with an explanation. "Uneducated people were driving tractors, they did not know the paths of Delhi. Administration told them the way towards Delhi. They went to Delhi and returned home. Some of them unknowingly deflected towards Red Fort. Police guided them to return and they returned," Tikait said.
"Those who created violence and unfurled flags at Red Fort will have to pay for their deeds. For the last two months, a conspiracy is going on against a particular community. This is not a movement of Sikhs, but farmers. Our issues remain the same and our protest will continue," he added.

The program is with WWU in Münster, but we had our class in Schlaun gymnasium and they were rude and completely disorganized. |
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
The success of this trip is solely dependent on your host family. I had to switch my host family after this first week and then the second family i had was just as uninterested in getting to know me as the first one was. |

This cinematic masterpiece by Gene Stupnitsky, and Jennifer Lawrence in the main character stands as a blockbuster comedy, encapsulating the heartwarming journey of an unconventional bond between a teenage boy and a mature woman in her thirties.
Delightfully intertwining elements of love, humor, and camaraderie, the film elegantly unravels the evolution of their relationship. As their unique companionship flourishes, the narrative delves into the depths of their connection, accentuating the pivotal moments that draw them closer together. Even as the narrative presents a minor divergence in their path, it doesn't detract from the film's enchantment.
This touching tale is an experience that truly deserves to be savored on the silver screen.
On the brink of losing her home, Maddie finds an intriguing job listing: helicopter parents looking for someone to bring their introverted 19-year-old son out of his shell before college. She has one summer to make him a man or die trying.
Lawrence's character portrays the "ne'er-do-well" who answers a Craigslist ad that was placed to hire a date for an introverted and socially awkward teen boy, by his mother and father, who also just so happens to be preparing for college soon.

On the latest cover of TIME, 958 multi-colored drones rose above the ground in California to recreate the magazine's name and famous red border. The cover art stunt underscores the larger point of the issue's big story: drones will soon play a ubiquitous part in our lives.
While government agencies and first responders are learning to use drones for disaster-management, the civilian drone market is rapidly growing. Since the FAA loosened its standards for commercial drone use, the number of people certified to fly drones professionally in the US has jumped to 122,000.
As Amazon races to deliver packages with drones and Facebook attempts to use drones to bring the Internet to previously-unconnected places, some firms are dreaming up even more ambitious goals, like helicopter-size drone taxis.

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is a normal option for container, elevated or conventional vegetable gardens. This fast-developing and low-upkeep cool-weather plant Flagstaff is typical in the first spring but is ideal to get a fall garden.

What is professional tax: These employees might have to pay it if working from home
Dec 5, 2023
Even if an employee is working from his/her home they need to pay professional tax if their office is registered in a state where professional tax is levied. There could even be situations where an employee is working from home in a state which does not levy professional tax, yet the employee has to pay professional tax. There could be other such situations also. Read here to find out.
You may have to pay professional tax if you are this type of employeeGetty ImagesYou may have to pay professional tax if you are this type of employee .
Professional tax is a tax levied by state governments on all individuals earning above a specified level, irrespective of whether they are salaried or self-employed. An individual can get a tax exemption under the Income-tax Act, 1961 on the professional tax paid.
However, each of the state governments levying professional tax has drafted their own law. "Article 276 of the Constitution empowers States to levy taxes on professions, trades, callings, and employments," says Manmeet Kaur, Partner, Karanjawala & Co, a law firm.
The applicability of professional tax, the tax rate based on the slabs and other aspects of professional tax differs from state to state.
However, there is no clarity if professional tax is applicable if a salaried employee is working from home. Hence, tax experts advise salaried individuals to take a conservative approach to interpreting the law about the applicability of professional tax in work-from-home cases.
"Professional tax in work-from-home cases is still a grey area and no proper guidelines or legislations have been framed in this regard. Moreover, the issue has not been dealt by the Courts in India," says Kaur.
What is the criteria for applicability of professional tax in general
"The main criteria for determining applicability of professional tax is whether the office of the company where the employee is mapped to be working is registered with the relevant state government and has a professional tax registration certificate (PTRC)," says Neha Beriwala, senior manager, indirect tax, S.K Patodia and associates, a CA firm.
It is mandatory for the company to register its office (head or branch) in the state if it meets the threshold criteria defined in the respective state's professional tax law. The threshold criteria, however, varies from state to state.
"The requirement for obtaining a PTRC for each branch of a company in India can vary depending on the regulations of the specific state in which the branches are located. In some states, professional tax registration may be required for each branch of the company, regardless of whether the branch processes the payroll of employees or not. In other states, professional tax registration may only be required for the branch that processes the payroll of employees," says Abhishek Soni, co-founder, Tax2Win, a tax filing assistance company.
In a nutshell, professional tax will be applicable if either the branch office where the employee is working or the office paying salary is registered as per the state laws. If the head office is registered but not the branch office or office paying salary, then professional tax will not be applicable. Do note that no state government can levy more than Rs 2,500 in a year as professional tax.
How is professional tax applied in work from home cases
The professional tax laws are not drafted or amended keeping in mind work-from-home cases.
"The respective Professional Tax Act of states have not been drafted with work from home or remote work in mind. In work-from-home cases, a situation could arise that the remote workers are at a place where professional tax is levied while the employer's office is located at a place where no professional tax is levied, and vice versa. This can create arguments which may lead to litigations. Presently inter-state levy of professional tax for remote workers remains untested by Courts," says Kaur.
The law is not specifically clear about these points:
If professional tax is applicable for an employee working from home in a non-professional tax state, however, the employee is mapped, and salary is paid by the office registered under professional tax.
If professional tax is applicable for an employee working from home in a non-professional tax state for a non-professional tax office in another state but is getting paid salary from an office registered under professional tax in another state. Another derivation can be where both the home state and the office paying salary are registered under professional tax for their respective states, but the branch office of the employee is not registered under professional tax law.
If professional tax is applicable for an employee working from home in the office in a state where professional tax is applicable. The employee works for a branch office that is registered under professional tax. Salary is paid by the professional tax registered office in another state.
What are the criteria that determine applicability of professional tax in WFH cases
A salaried individual must satisfy any of the two criteria for professional tax to be applicable:
(1) Branch office is registered under professional tax where the employee is mapped
In this criterion, the employee is mapped to work in a particular branch office which is registered under the Professional tax Act of the respective State.
Let us understand this with an example. Suppose Anil works from home in Delhi for the Mysuru branch office of a Bengaluru-based company. The company's Bengaluru head office and Mysuru branch are registered under the professional tax in Karnataka. As the company's branch is registered under the Karnataka Tax on Professions, Trades, Calling and Employment Act 1976, professional tax will be deducted from Anil's salary.
"Here in this case cited above, since the employee (Anil) is working for Mysuru, Karnataka branch which processes the payroll, the employer should ideally obtain a separate registration for their branch as per the Karnataka Tax on Professions, Trades, Calling and Employment Act 1976 and deduct taxes as per the specified rules irrespective of the fact that the employee is working from home," says Dr. Suresh Surana, founder, RSM India, a tax and business consulting group.
(2) Salary is being paid by office registered under professional tax
Usually, salary is processed by the branch office where the employee works. This is called decentralized payroll processing. However, there could always be cases where payroll is processed from a single office for all employees irrespective of where the employee works. This is known as called centralized payroll processing.
Let us say an employee is working from his home in Delhi for Stuartpuram, Andhra Pradesh branch of a Bhuj, Gujarat-based company. The salary is credited from the Gujarat head office.
According to Amit Gupta, Partner, Saraf and Partners, a law firm, "For the purpose of taxation, while the point of payroll process might be important for deducting professional tax, it should not be an absolute criterion. The centralized salary processing from an office situated in a state where no professional tax law is applicable should not render the legal intention behind levying of professional tax law obsolete."
"Hence, professional tax needs to be paid if the office where the employee is employed is registered under professional tax. This tax deduction is valid even if the salary of the said employee is paid through a centralized payroll processing center located in a state where no professional tax is levied," says Gupta.
The key takeaway is that if the branch office is registered under professional tax of the state government, professional tax must be paid, even if payroll is not made from that particular branch office.
According to Avinash Shekhar, CEO, TaxNodes, an income tax return (ITR) filing assistance platform, "If both the offices (branch and payroll office) are registered under professional tax law, then the office processing the payroll would be liable for deducting and paying professional tax in that state on behalf of their employees instead of the branch office, registered under professional tax law of the respective state, where the employee works."

The past 3 weeks in Singapore (for lack of a better title)
The past 3 weeks in Singapore have been lovely - interviewing Missionary's and writing story's by day and exploring the city with friends by night.
(This is actually a picture of us at the YWAM Singapore staff retreat in Indonesia. They asked me to come along and report on the weekend, and help write a story and video for their base. This weekend's theme is YWAM Singapore's past, present, and future. I am awe-inspired listening to the original base leaders' story's about God's faithfulness when they were pioneering this mission, years ago.
Most of the people said they had no idea what they were doing. They just really loved God, and stepped out in faith and obedience everyday - now, many years later, the fruit of their faith has been incredible .
That is encouraging, because many times in this new mission of mine, I have no idea what I'm doing (what country am I in again? =) or why in the world God would choose little ol' me for such a huge job, but we walk by faith not by sight.
Soooo I'll just keep walking =) doing my best, and enjoying the ride.
I pray that you are feeling the same way with whatever God has called you to do right now friend.

Lennox Lewis Vs Anthony Joshua: Fans Asked Who Would Win In A Fantasy Boxing Fight
| Last updated
Sky Sports sparked a heated debate on social media after asking fans who would win in a dream mega-fight between Lennox Lewis and Anthony Joshua.
Boxing legend Lewis, 54, enjoyed an illustrious career inside the squared circle and remains the last heavyweight to be crowned undisputed champ.
Meanwhile, Joshua has since regained his heavyweight crown after avenging his only defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr last December.
The Sky Sports Boxing Twitter account on Sunday tweeted out a question asking fans who would win if the two Brits met in a fantasy clash.
And a majority of fans have slammed the idea that Brit superstar 'AJ' would have stood any chance against Lewis.
"Lennox Lewis all day long the opposition he faced were unreal," one Twitter user wrote.
While boxing fan Darren Reilly-Smith wrote: "In his prime Lewis but if you mean now... yeah still Lewis."
A third fan argued: "Lewis with ease. Anybody says otherwise is a fool let's be honest."
And Chris Edwards added: "Lewis within 6 rounds and that's been [sic] generous!!"
However, not all fans were in Lewis' corner and there were some that felt 'AJ' was being overlooked due to his loss to Ruiz.
One fan posted: "Joshua because of his stamina."
And another fan added: "aj wins 5th round ko [sic]."
While Twitter account Boxing Kingdom tweeted: "Tough one Sky Sports Boxing. I think AJ's youth and resume would probably give the Brit the edge. Maybe a stoppage between rounds 3-6. We'll go AJ via KO. BK."
A fourth added: "Joshua. Lewis was one of the most boring fighters of all time. Hated watching him."
Boxing fans previously entered into a heated debate last year after a Twitter account asked who would win in a fight between a prime Mike Tyson and Deontay Wilder.
