The SPD is in the lead in the German federal election, becoming the largest party in the Bundestag after the people of Germany cast their votes on Sunday. The victory puts an SPD-led federal government within reach.
PES President Sergei Stanishev said:
"It is obvious that the conservatives have lost and the SPD has won. Germany voted for a change. Olaf Scholz is now in the driving seat as the coalition talks begin. As the candidate of the largest party he has a clear political mandate to become Chancellor.
"An SPD-led coalition would reflect the shift seen at the election. Voters wanted a fairer society and action on climate change. These issues were central in the campaign. And an SPD-led government would offer the chance to bring about real progress on these issues – both in Germany and for Europe as a whole.
"I congratulate Olaf Scholz and SPD on the great election result. It shows the huge trust that voters have put in the SPD and in Olaf Scholz as new Chancellor. And it reflects strong support for our progressive politics."
The PES has closely collaborated with the SPD over the last weeks and months. And we share a common vision for Europe – a socially just and sustainable future, with citizen's wellbeing at the centre.
Preliminary results show the has SPD secured more than 25% of the vote. Turnout was about 78%, according to the federal election commission, two percentage points up on the previous 2017 vote and the highest since 2005.
With an SPD-led German federal government, there will be new chances to make progress on the global agreement on corporate taxation, the Fit for 55 package, the directive on adequate minimum wages, the women on boards directive, the commitments made at the Porto Social Summit, and other social democratic policy priorities.

Nurses' group hits revised COVID-19 testing, tracing policies
MANILA, Philippines — An organization of nurses said Wednesday it is appalled by the decision of the Department of Health to roll back contact tracing efforts and prioritize the testing of people at risk.
"Much to our dismay, while we kept on calling the government for the improvement of public health measures for infection control such as free and accessible COVID tests with aggressive and systematic contact tracing, the DOH had revert back to year 2020 testing prioritization and would not prioritize contact tracing," the Filipino Nurses United said.
"Aren't these COVID policies indicators that the government has surrendered to COVID-19?" it added.
Last week, the DOH shortened the isolation and quarantine periods for fully vaccinated people infected with COVID-19 and their close contacts.
The agency also said that COVID-19 testing will focus on diagnosing health workers, senior citizens and people with comorbidities. Asymptomatic close contacts are not required to get tested.
It likewise said that contract tracing—a key component in the government's COVID-19 response—is no longer a priority intervention.
The protocols are being eased even if the virus is spreading at a speed not seen since the start of the pandemic.
"Even with increasing cases, current science on benefits of vaccination and features of Omicron variant makes us confident to shorten isolation and quarantine period, reserve testing when assessed by physician to be necessary for medical management, make testing optional when actions are the same regardless of test result," DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said last week.
But the FNU stressed that the government should increase the capacity of the country's healthcare system by hiring more nurses and "should not lower standards of health practice and protocols."
The DOH reported 22,958 additional COVID-19 infections, bringing the active cases to 270,728.

I know, I know. But katya kotaro is one of those things where you cannot even figure out what is happening on the inside of the house, and then you see it all over the house and realize it is on autopilot. It's a classic, but if you really want to help yourself, you have to put your mind to it. The truth is, not all katya kotaro is the same.
The third level of self-awareness is just as important as the first. It is a form of self-awareness where we can step outside ourselves and be the ones able to see what is going on outside the house. If you don't want to be the only one who sees what's going on outside your house, you don't have to be the only one who can identify what's going on inside the house.
A lot of katya kotaro are intelligent, and they can tell you things that no other person can know. And yes, it's true that you can have a great time with them, but if you dont want to be the one who can tell what is going on inside your house, then you have to be the one who needs to know what is going on inside your house.
Katya Koyama is a young girl who lives in a house. Her house is her home, and she lives there with her mother, father, and two brothers. She is the only one of her family that is still alive, and she is very aware that its been a very long time since she was home. At first she was very lonely and spent a lot of time alone in a bedroom, but over time she has become more social.
In this case, "her" refers to Katya's mother and her family, who are all dead. Katya's family lives in the house and Katya lives in the house. Katya is the only child in her family and she is the one who is the one who knows everything.
At first, while Katya was very lonely and did her own things, she has become more social, and has been more in touch with her family. However, she also has her own secrets and has her own secrets. So she wants to know them all. Katya is like a spy, and she knows everything about her family. She is not afraid to say anything to anyone, and is a very honest person. She is also very selfish and does whatever she pleases.
Katya is also an aspiring chef. She makes lots of money, but it is not always for herself. She is also very independent, and likes to make her own decisions. She is very good at cooking, but she also likes to drink a lot and to take care of her friends. She is also very naive and easy to be with. She is not afraid to reveal her feelings to anyone, and she is very vulnerable.
Katya is a very talented programmer, and was working for a big tech company when she was hacked. She managed to escape the hackers and went on to change her life. She worked for a while in a different part of the company, but eventually left because she didn't want to work with the same people the rest of the time. She now works for a startup and makes software for people all over the world.
Katya is very passionate about what she does. She is very passionate about helping people, and about people helping her. People trust her, and she doesn't care who she lets in or how much money she makes. When she is not working she is traveling around the world, meeting with different people. She is now starting a business in the US, which she hopes to grow into a company with offices in multiple countries.
What I'm saying to you is that I don't like to think I'm a bad person. I'm not, and I don't do it for fun. I'm not a bad person, when I should have.

Objective: This study examined the effectiveness of traumatic incident reduction (TIR) among a sample of adults with trauma histories through a review of client records. TIR is a brief, structured, person-centered, memory-based intervention that helps individuals process traumatic memories, thus eliminating or significantly reducing negative psychological consequences and promoting insight and growth. Method: On average, participants (N = 247) were 37 years old (SD = 10.98), mostly women, and racially and ethnically diverse. Self-reported posttraumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and expectations for future success were assessed prior to treatment, midway, and after treatment. A series of analysis of covariance models with repeated measures were examined, controlling for participants' biological sex and total number of hours spent in psychoeducational groups. Results: Posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms were significantly reduced, and expectations for future success increased. Conclusions: Findings support the potential of TIR to positively impact clients' mental health and well-being.

The Tribal Forensic Healthcare project has a webinar coming up, Developing a SART in Indian Country. It'll be held April 18th at 3pm ET. All of their webinars are archived; CEUs/CMEs are available. From the site:
American Indian and Alaska Native women are raped at rates higher than any other race. Despite the alarming rates, sexual assault is still the most underreported crime. In response to this crisis occurring in Indian Country, tribal nations have been developing culturally appropriate programs and adapting existing response models to create appropriate responses to sexual assault. One such model is the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART). SART establishes a multidisciplinary team that collaborates to create a coordinated response to sexual assault. Presenters will share their experiences, challenges, successes and the importance of developing practices and protocols that are responsive to the immediate needs of adult victims of sexual assault victims and overall benefits to the criminal justice response.

In an unprecedented effort of scientific collaboration, researchers across fields are racing to support the response to COVID-19. Making a global impact with AI tools will require scalable approaches for data, model and code sharing; adapting applications to local contexts; and cooperation across borders.
As of 24 April 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus had infected 823,626 people with more than 40,598 confirmed deaths, and with nearly every citizen of the planet at risk1. Given the need to interrupt disease transmission and the increasing scale of the pandemic, digital technologies are relevant to support the fight against the virus. Among these technologies, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) methods are being applied in many COVID-related domains, resulting in approximately 200 preprints and scientific articles from 1 January 2020 to 24 April 20202. However, for AI applications addressing COVID-19 to have a global impact, large-scale data and model sharing, operational validation, and adaptation to local contexts are needed. This requires cooperation and solidarity across borders as well as the involvement of many relevant parties, including healthcare workers.
Taxonomy and applications
In a review of the emerging literature at the intersection of AI and COVID-19 by some of us3, a framework to categorize multidisciplinary research on three scales is proposed: molecular, clinical and societal (epidemiology and infodemics).
Molecular applications include protein structure prediction4, improving viral nucleic acid testing5, drug repurposing6 and drug discovery7. These applications draw on a range of AI methods including the construction and mining of biomedical knowledge graphs, deep learning architectures designed to predict characteristics of protein structures or protein–ligand binding affinities, text modelling approaches applied to genetic sequences, and the use of reinforcement learning for drug design.
Clinical applications to improve patient care range from diagnosis to patient follow-up, treatment and outcome prediction. Deep learning techniques can help image-based diagnosis of COVID-19 from patterns in X-ray images and computed tomography (CT) scans8. Operational human-in-the-loop AI systems have been developed to help radiologists reduce the time needed to review scans. Smart watches, mobile phones and other wearables can potentially be used for disease tracking9, along with other remote monitoring applications that allow doctors to follow patients remotely, saving time and personal protective equipment. Combining different data sources like health records and medical imagery can help predict patient outcomes10 and could be used to project the needs of hospitals and healthcare systems such as surges in demand for intensive care unit beds. The use of robotics in telemedicine and in other tasks like cleaning and sterilizing medical facilities could also prove valuable.
For epidemiology, AI can improve early warning systems and the modelling of empirical data11. In particular, AI can be applied to understand and simulate public policy interventions such as quarantining, social distancing and de-escalation strategies, and augment classical epidemiological techniques by approximating functions for which analytic transmission equations are not known12,13. Additionally, unsupervised clustering techniques and risk-scoring algorithms, which are able to combine disparate data sources, may help identify similarities between regions, and forecast which areas will require more resources.
For infodemics, AI can be used to fight misinformation and disinformation by managing the current overabundance of information, which creates confusion and makes it difficult to identify trusted sources14,15. AI methods can support audience analysis (for example, social media, TV, radio) and accelerate fact checking16. Social media analysis, for example, is providing insights into global trends and sentiment around the pandemic and its socioeconomic impacts17. Research is being conducted to identify the emergence and escalation of hate speech and verbal attacks against minorities and communities suffering from discrimination that may result in violent action or their exclusion from access to healthcare18. Virtual assistants and chatbots are being used to disseminate trusted content at scale19, requiring mechanisms for propagation of updates to information as new evidence becomes available in the COVID-19 response.
Data and model sharing
AI applications require data. There are currently dozens of data-sharing initiatives around COVID-19 at the three application scales, spanning the international, national and local levels. These datasets include: genetic sequences20, genome analysis21, protein structures, patient clinical data, medical imagery, case statistics, epidemiological data22, mobility data, social media posts, news articles and scientific literature23. The hyper-fragmentation of data-sharing efforts is a challenge, as it might result in advances that are restricted to particular projects and local communities. Establishing scalable approaches for data, model and code sharing could accelerate the development and dissemination of new applications. At this stage, global, open, comprehensive, comparable and verified data-sharing initiatives will be beneficial to connect and promote cooperation between disparate communities and geographies24.
Open science can accelerate knowledge dissemination and capacity building of national health systems, supported by multi-stakeholder AI partnerships operating across international borders. For example, the data platform of the Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources (EIOS)25 network enables early detection, verification and assessment of public health risks and threats using open source information. Under the philosophy of collaboration and not competition in early detection, the community of practice for public health intelligence includes governments, international organizations and research institutes that collaboratively assess and share information about outbreak events in real time. The EIOS network picked up the first article reporting an unknown pneumonia cluster in Wuhan at 3:14 utc on 31 December 2019. From the epidemiological perspective, global standards and interoperability between databases could enable coordinated response and decision-making at global, national and local levels. Understanding the epidemiologic features and risk characteristics of different demographics as we move into different phases of the pandemic will require accounting for health system resource capacities, public health interventions, environmental factors and the social implications of COVID-19.
Beyond data sharing, few initiatives currently share trained AI models related to any of the proposed applications. Barriers to be overcome include constraints due to specific computational, architecture and infrastructure requirements; a lack of documentation; validation and explainability aspects; and legal concerns regarding privacy and intellectual property. Sharing pre-trained and validated AI models could accelerate the adaptation of solutions to local contexts. Examples of models that could be widely applicable include those used to diagnose illness from imagery, predict patient outcomes, filter misinformation and disinformation based on spreading patterns through social networks, or distil knowledge graphs from large collections of scientific articles. Getting to a future of open AI models will require AI governance frameworks that take into account ethical, social, clinical, legal and commercial considerations.
From research to impact
One of the challenges of making a greater impact with AI applications is not knowing where to start and how efforts can be most effective. There is a need for greater cooperation between practitioners and the AI community. The AI community already is, and should continue to seek advice and guidance from domain experts, including government officials, healthcare professionals and first responders, among others. They can help flag processes that are good candidates for automation. These include repetitive or time-consuming tasks that involve finding patterns in rich image, video, audio or biomedical data — for example, CT scans — or tasks that involve synthesizing massive datasets from sources such as symptom tracking systems or social media channels.
To date, few of the research projects and systems presented are as yet sufficiently mature to be operationalized at scale, with different applications having different timescales of development, validation and deployment. As a result, it is important for the founders, users and AI community to map which technologies could assist with the short-term response, mid-term recovery efforts, and the longer-term preparedness for future pandemics.
Developing solutions for the current pandemic requires coordination and prioritization26, focused on key unmet needs that account for operational realities. When possible, solutions should be based on adapting already validated systems27 and should avoid overburdening an already stretched healthcare workforce with new tools that may not always help to improve outcomes. Furthermore, it is important that new and existing solutions are adapted to fill the specific needs and contexts of low- and middle-income countries. Applications dealing with clinical and patient data should not ignore the existing regulatory frameworks designed to ensure quality, security and safety, and minimize potential risks and harms. Despite the urgency of the fight against COVID-19, rigorous assessment of potential solutions is required, which in some opportunities can be fast-tracked without increasing risks.
Collaborations among global health actors, private sector partners and other stakeholders are already forming to accelerate the development, production and equitable global access to new health technologies essential to COVID-1928. Coordination and cooperation between regulatory bodies and international and regional organizations would aid in channelling research on the ground, and would assist in implementing systems in countries with weaker frameworks and governance structures. Compliance with reporting guidelines29,30 would enable more systematic and efficient reviews of evidence, and comparisons of healthcare-related AI applications along the dimensions of safety, clinical validity and performance accuracy.
The global fight against the COVID-19 infodemic should be treated as a scientific challenge on a par with the spread of the disease itself, since behavioural change is critical to the pandemic response. Media and information literacy remain critical, and there is a need to quantify individual rates of exposure to misinformation and disinformation. Infodemic management frameworks can be used to support timely translation of evidence into knowledge and advocacy adapted to local cultures, languages and contexts. AI methods and tools should be used to fill the health information gaps for individuals and policymakers alike for a whole-of-society response based on evidence and science. To effectively combat the infodemic while ensuring the fundamental right to access to information, the international community must share and amplify good practices, identify priorities, facilitate partnerships, and provide advice and technical assistance to governments and relevant national stakeholders to foster international cooperation. The pandemic is stoking xenophobia, hate and exclusion, posing a far-reaching — and potentially long-lasting — threat to human rights31. Understanding the dynamics and spread of hateful speech will help design more effective interventions and change the narrative.
Global challenges and digital cooperation
We now have the ability to create new AI tools to address age-old problems. But having the means to create such applications doesn't necessarily mean we should. Any AI application that could be used in the fight against COVID-19 ought to undergo an assessment to ensure that it complies with ethical principles and, above all, respects human rights. Even when following privacy-by-design and ethics-by-design guidelines in the development and deployment of AI-based solutions, practitioners will be confronted with questions on how to protect fundamental rights, including the right to privacy. When rolling out any of the above proposed AI solutions at scale, we must ensure they do not breach global commitments to protect rights and freedoms, including commitments to non-discrimination, preventing mass surveillance, and protecting journalistic sources. In order to do so, stakeholders should ensure that principles, including those of openness and accessibility, are at the heart of AI-enabled solutions. AI applications in health should also promote fair and equitable global access, supporting member states' commitments to achieve universal health coverage.
The global nature of the pandemic requires global solutions, but there is also a need for local adaptation to account for biases and contextual factors. For instance, a system to diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia in chest X-rays will need to be trained differently in countries with different levels of prevalence of diseases or conditions with related image patterns, such as tuberculosis and HIV. Similarly, epidemiological models tailored to pastoral areas, island states, refugee camps or conflict zones should take into account different socioeconomic, cultural and structural variables than the ones described in scientific literature — which have been developed mostly in China or in Western countries. Likewise, chatbots to inform citizens about public health measures require specific natural language processing models, and often vast amounts of training data, which today are available for just a few hundred of the more than 7,000 living languages. The participation of researchers and local data science collaboratives from underrepresented regions including Africa and Latin America, for example the Data Science Africa network, will be critical to ensure that any AI system has a positive impact at global scale. With this in mind, solutions may need to be designed with low-bandwidth requirements up front — for example, medical diagnosis apps without need for connectivity and that do not compromise privacy or data security. Such applications represent an opportunity to promote edge computing for AI and other energy-efficient approaches for the responsible use of computational resources.
The role of AI in providing meaningful solutions to the current pandemic has yet to be defined. However, there is a clear need for a globally inclusive research agenda to direct action against this pandemic — and future ones — without leaving anyone behind. It is reasonable to believe that the world will be more digital than ever in the post-coronavirus era, and that AI will increasingly become one of the driving forces shaping our society32. This pandemic underscores the urgency for stakeholders to effectively translate ethical principles for AI into practice33. 'Solidarity' is the name of the international clinical trial launched by the World Health Organization to help find an effective treatment for COVID-1934. It is the sense of solidarity with our neighbours that encourages physical distancing, which is vital to suppressing transmission of the virus within communities. Similarly, solidarity should be a core principle guiding the development of innovative and ethical AI applications to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, and help advance the global Sustainable Development Agenda35.

The Chelsea star said: "You get high points and low points in your life.
"In addition, when I arrived I was tired from playing at the World Cup.
"And, right now, I feel really bad. I have been in bed with a high fever that has reached 39.4 degrees and even speaking is painful for me.
"The doctors told me I have picked up a viral infection. I began having problems on Tuesday, when I arrived in Kiev for the Ukraine team's get-together.
"I don't yet know whether I will miss the game against Italy, as the doctors won't commit themselves, but my fever has continued to rise."

Yesterday, Sarah Huckabee Sanders took to the Press Secretary's podium and lied like a lying liar like she always does. This time it was about the Orange Menace's job creation numbers for African-Americans and, of course, how much better they were than an actual president's: President Obama's.
This president since he took office, in the year-and-a-half since he's been here, created 700,000 new jobs for African-Americans. That's 700,000 African-Americans working now that weren't working when the president took place. When President Obama left, after eight years of President Obama in office, he only created 195,000 jobs for African-Americans. President trump in his first year-and-a-half has already tripled what President Obama did in eight years.
Well, we knew it wasn't true when she said it, and respectable news outlets (like CNN) called her out ASAP, saying "Not even CLOSE to true. According to Labor Department, the U.S. has created 700,000 jobs for African-American workers during the trump administration. It added nearly 3 million jobs during Obama's eight years. Sanders later corrected herself via Twitter. Of course, via Twitter.
Of course, that does not count as a real apology, since it is accompanied by a modifying statement beginning with "but."
The "apology," such as it was, did not stop Fox "News" (otherwise known as "State TV") from repeating the lie hours later. Jesse Waters read it out word for word on "The Five" as evidence to support the delusion he was pushing that Herr Trumpinger is not racist. Just look at all he's done for "the blacks!"
Magic 8 Ball says, "Not likely."

Gale-force winds will follow Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh wherever they may roam. The star-studded Miami Heat's multiple title chase begins in Boston, where the grumpy, grizzled Celtics are determined to mark their territory as the reigning Eastern Conference champs. Bedlam and ear splitting boos await Erik Spoelstra's squad at TD Garden.
Kevin Durant—the well-mannered youngster who landed in Oklahoma City by way of Washington D.C., the University of Texas, and Seattle—is expected to make the jump from the Thunder's explosive scoring hatchback to an MVP who carries his mates to late May.
Has any squad with one playoff series under its belt—a six-game defeat—been expected to make such a dramatic jump? Durant conquered the rest of the world at the 2010 FIBA World Championships. Now, Durantula, Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green, Serge Ibaka, and the rest of the supporting cast must navigate through uncharted waters—and topple several West powers who have been there and won that.
Dwight Howard's Orlando Magic spent the summer engaged in a "bring it on" war of words with the stacked Heat. Even if Howard did not join Stan Van Gundy and GM Otis Smith in ripping Pat Riley's South Beach bunch, he wore his disdain like one of his famed sweaters. Vince Carter will try to avoid another reputation-destroying disappearing act—if J.J. Redick does not steal his starting spot first. Van Gundy has promised to replace his signature turtlenecks with ties and button-down shirts, per new dress code regulations, and to supplant his defining courtside scowl with more smiles. Good luck ...

I have been talking to Alaska Airlines since so many of us fly down on them. I know WestJet or Frontier--not sure which--has a policy to fly bags containing humanitarian items for free. I've asked Alaska to extend that policy at least till December. So far, no word, but I'll keep nudging.
In the meantime, they said that Dan and I can bring an extra suitcase apiece for free. My question: what are the needs? What things do people in the community need that we could bring down in suitcases? We won't be there till Nov. 7th, but I would be so happy to bring needed items!
I'll keep you posted on Alaska's policy as things develop. In the meantime--whaddaya need?
Much love to everyone!

It's safe to say most of us love our hot water. The average American uses between 80-120 gallons of it a day!
Of course, this luxury is easy to take for granted until something goes wrong with your water heater. From temperature issues to leaks to loud noises, a few simple red flags can spell doom for your unit if left unaddressed. Let's take a look at five signs you should call for emergency water heater repair to protect your home's hot water.
1. Discolored Water
If the water coming out of your tap looks hazy, clouded, or reddish, you might need repair services. Different mineral buildups can even cause dark particles to flow through your water. Rust inside your tank can also affect the color of your water.
You may also notice a strange mineral scent in the water. Some minerals can also make the water smell like rotten eggs.
These issues may seem minor, but you'll want to contact an emergency repair expert as soon as possible. Discolored water can sometimes pose a health hazard.
Often, water quality issues happen when your water heater's anode rod breaks down. This device helps to reduce mineral and rust buildups in the system. A simple replacement is often enough to fix the problem.
2. Leaks
Leaks are often one of the most obvious signs that your water heater needs repair. However, some homeowners confuse other common issues with a water heater leak. Don't panic if you spot pooling or trickling water!
First, do some quick troubleshooting. If you keep your water heater in the same room as other utilities such as a washing machine or HVAC unit, make sure the leaks aren't coming from those devices instead.
You should also try tightening the fittings on your water heater. If you're lucky, the leak has happened because a fitting has come loose.
If none of the tips above solve the problem, contact water heater repair services. Leaks can be hard to diagnose and fix on your own, and it's not always easy to tell when the problem is small enough for a simple repair or catastrophic enough for a complete water heater replacement. Worse, many of the worst water heater problems start with a leak, so you'll want to fix the issue before it can snowball into something worse.
3. Not Enough Hot Water
If you sometimes notice the water isn't hot when you hop into the shower, your water heater might need a check-up. This may seem like a minor inconvenience, but sudden temperature fluctuations can be a sign of a major issue. If you're sure your current unit is the right size for your home and you usually get more water than you're getting now, there will always be an underlying reason for temperature issues.
You may notice that your water feels lukewarm or cold at times. At other times, it may be hot as you need. Another common red flag is getting only small amounts of hot water at a time.
Sometimes, these temperature fluctuations happen because you've got a sediment buildup in your water heater. This buildup can keep your unit from heating water as efficiently.
Issues with your unit's heating elements may be to blame. If one of these elements breaks, your unit may struggle to heat enough water for your household. You may also be looking at a thermostat issue or a subtle water leak.
4. Weird Noises
Depending on the type of water heater you own, you may be used to small sounds as your unit cycles on and off. These sounds may be part of the normal functioning of the device. Buzzing or low rumbling sounds are common.
However, if you start noticing unfamiliar noises, you'll want to get a check-up. Keep an ear out for clanging, banging, cracking, or popping sounds.
The most common reason for strange noises is mineral deposits. When these deposits become loose as water flows, they may churn around the inside of your unit. The sound may also be the heating element reacting to the sediment buildup in your unit.
Alternatively, some units may make loud sounds when they're overheating, as the internal structures may shift or even crack. These issues can be hazardous and complicated, so it's important to contact an emergency repair technician right away.
If you're lucky, some simple water heater maintenance and a tank flush will be enough to stop the noises. If you've noticed leaks along with noises, you may be due for larger repairs.
5. Visible Deterioration
If you notice any signs of damage or deterioration, get an emergency repair. There are two main things to watch for:
Rust is a constant threat to your water heater. Worse, it's often a sign that there's a leak somewhere in your system, whether you can see the leak or not. The resulting corrosion can damage your system and require a total replacement.
If you notice signs of rust, contact an expert right away. Depending on where the corrosion is, your contractor may recommend replacing the part in question. This temporary fix may help preserve your water heater.
Because it cycles through moderate to very high temperatures, the materials of your water heater are always expanding and contracting. Their design takes this into account, but that doesn't mean your unit will be damage-free forever.
Over time, you may start to notice signs of wear and tear. Cracks and other imperfections can be a sign that your unit is starting to break down. These issues are especially common in older devices whose materials have spent years expanding and contracting.
Always contact an expert if you see signs of damage. If you're lucky, the issue will be cosmetic. If not, you may have caught a significant issue with your system early.
Get Emergency Water Heater Repair
Sudden water heater issues can be massive red flags, so it's important to know when to call for emergency water heater repair. Never try to diagnose and treat the issues above on your own!

The First 3 Questions Every Wife
Should Ask When It's Hard
A day rarely goes by that I don't field a call, email, or message from a wife who is struggling or just plain frustrated in her marriage.
After explaining her situation, I almost always respond by asking these three questions:
- Where are you at with God right now?
- Are you in God's word regularly?
- Have you prayed about this?
Usually, simply by asking these questions, wives have what they need to see the situation differently, or at least get back on track with what will actually help.
But when our hearts are hurting and our issues seem so big, these three questions are not what we think to ask. That's why I try to ask myself these questions often.
When there is a disconnect between myself and God, it's because I haven't made time for Him. I've been too busy to invest in our relationship and in turn, everything else suffers. I'm more easily irritated with my husband, I have a negative attitude, I'm ungrateful, and disrespectful.
Even if my mind is focused on the presence of God in my heart but I haven't sat down to open my bible and take in God's Word, I suffer. I notice the same deterioration in my heart if my mind has not been soaking in His Word.
And naturally, stewing on frustration is easier and feels better short term than giving it to God in prayer. What a difference prayer makes in our hearts and marriages.
These were the three questions I needed the most when I was struggling in my own marriage. Let's be wives who are quick to ask ourselves these questions and ask these questions to the wives we love.
Wife Step: Write down these three questions and post them where you'll see them often.
Amanda Davison is on a mission to share how her education in counseling and God's word changed her life and marriage. Her goal is to transform marriages through the hearts of wives by inspiring wives to live convinced of God's love and love others from this awesome overflow. She is The Wife Coach, Founder of A Wife Like Me, a Speaker, and Author. She works as the Director of Assimilations at The Naz church in Fergus Falls, MN, where her and her husband lead the Marriage Mentor Team. Her favorite ministry is inside her home where she is the wife to a farmer and mom to three. She looks forward to hearing from you and hopes you will join with her on the journey of learning to love God's people well.

Sunny Garcia, Hawaiian Surfing Legend, Wakes From Coma in Newly Released Photo After Reported Suicide Attempt
Surfing legend Sunny Garcia's family said he's awake from his coma and showing small signs of [...]
Surfing legend Sunny Garcia's family said he's awake from his coma and showing small signs of improvement, including saying his eldest daughter Kaila's name for the first time, after his suicide attempt nearly five months ago.
View this post on Instagram
Kaila shared an update via Instagram, writing that the family is "taking one day at a time and celebrating each little triumph. Sunny is a warrior and fighting everyday [sic] to get better and stronger. He has said a few words and is now in therapy daily — physical, speech and occupational. The family thanks you for your continued support for Sunny as he continues to heal. It's going to be a marathon not a sprint but we work every day to make sure he is surrounded with love, laughter and ohana."
Garcia family friend Janae Twisselman told KHON2 that Garcia is "definitely showing signs of awareness. With the family members, he's paying attention to voices. He can follow people's faces. He's moving his head. He's speaking a few words."
"When he first started, he was in an induced coma a few months ago, and now we're in a place where he's functioning completely on his — you know for his physical self, his body — on his own," Twisselman explained.
"I think it's just really incredible to watch it, and also, you know, every little improvement is such a major win for [the family]," she said, adding that his family has been at his side through it all. In the rare moments a family member isn't there, they're spreading awareness for suicide prevention.
"They've been doing walks and charities recently for Suicide Prevention Month, which obviously hits home, and there's things that they're working toward," Twisselman said.
In April, Garcia was admitted to a Portland, Oregon, hospital following a suicide attempt, The World Surf League confirmed to TMZ. Grace, 49, reportedly struggled with depression in the past and even discussed various treatment options publicly with his fans.
The World Surf League said in April that Garcia was in an intensive care unit and that details of his condition were unclear.
One of the most prominent figures in professional during, Garcia has won the Triple Crown of Surfing six times in his career and won the World Surf League's world championship in 2000. He started surfing as a young man growing up in Hawaii and was inducted into the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.

Sister Barbara Murtha, CSJ
Barbara's long religious life of 65 years was spent in a variety of ministries – she was a teacher and administrator, she was involved in parish work and community service, and she had a special love for the elderly and for the bereaved. Nothing she did was just a job; everything came from her heart.
I asked some of Babs' sisters what were some words they would associate with her. Here are a few responses which gives us a spirit-filled collage:
- Celebrating – she always wanted to celebrate – she loved eating out – she always sent everybody greeting cards to celebrate each person
- Family – she loved each and every member in a special way; get togethers really mattered to her
- Control – she wanted to control things, and they respected it! This was true for her final months and the way she died.
- Integrity and compassion – she still heard from people whose lives she had affected
- Quiet awe for nature – special love for the Southwest – love for the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens in all seasons
- Celtic spirituality which grounded her.
For all these reasons and more, Bab's sisters chose the readings for her mass. Indeed, she is a valiant woman! She is an expression of Love! And she loved parables, determination and celebrations!
So, as we gratefully celebrate Barbara's life, we now look forward to listening to Sister Cathy Murtha who will share from both a personal and vocational perspective.
Phyllis Esposito. CSJ
As I have been making this journey with Barbara and family and various community members these past few weeks, I have been pondering the Circle of Life.
Each of us enters life at a given moment, in a unique environment, to parents and perhaps siblings or extended families. We begin to define ourselves, claim our gifts, discover the world around us and make our way in the world.
I am beginning to see the journey in our vowed lives as religious women in a similar way. Each phase of life from those first beginnings tinged with hope, uncertainty, openness, perhaps a bit of fear, opens us to new awareness.As we move through our time of formation and adapting to community life, education, we develop skills and relationships to be of service to others. We make decisions about taking vows, and areas of service. We become more at home and learn to shift our consciousness from being "I" consciousness" to "WE" consciousness.
Over time and with the support of trainers and directors we become more open to encounter the power and presence of God in our lives. Hopefully, there comes a moment when each of us can acknowledge God's transforming action in our lives. Jubilees, graduations, changes in Leadership are such times – as are funerals and times of chapters.
We in our time have certainly negotiated such moments. We, who live in an epoch time of change and upheaval, have received both the challenge and the grace to be faithful and courageous.
And this day, we offer heartfelt thanks to our Sister Barbara for her living and loving witness.
Thank you – and may the God who has begun the good work in you bring it to completion. AMEN
Sister Cathy Murtha,DW
Sister Barbara Murtha, CSJ the former Sister Edward Miriam, died on June 7, 2023 in the 65th year of her religious life.

Get ready to fall in love! Word chains are an easy but powerful way to build important literacy skills including phonemic awareness, decoding, encoding, AND blending at the exact same time. Because you swap just one sound each time you move to a new box in the sequence, children are able to make connections between letter sounds and spelling patterns in a playful, motivating way.
Dive into word chains below and then snag your free list and record sheet so you can get started right away.
What Are Word Chains?
If you are looking for a quick and simple way to practice a variety of phonemic awareness and phonics skills, you're in the right spot.
Word chains are a string of words that are connected through shared sounds or letter patterns so they build TONS of important literacy skills simultaneously.
And since students are essentially just making a list of words, they require zero teacher prep. Children can write their word chains on a whiteboard, a plain piece of paper, or (when you grab the download below) a fun printable.
Each time you say a new word, students will simply write it down. It doesn't get much simpler than that!
Four Types of Chains
Depending on students' reading ability, the activity can be tweaked to practice beginning, middle, or ending sounds.
For instance, if you started a word chain with HAT, you might have new readers focus on beginning sounds by writing: hat – rat – mat – sat…
Or if you were working with more advanced readers, you could home in on ending sounds instead: hat – ham – had – has…
With practice, students would eventually be able to work on middle vowel sounds: hat – hit – hot – hut…
And finally, with even more advanced readers, you could practice all three skills at once: hat – ham – him – dim.
As you can see, word chains can be quickly tweaked to meet students' unique needs which makes them perfect for a huge range of readers.
Snag Your Set
I know it can be tough to think of word lists, so we pulled together a batch of print-and-teach short vowel chains for you.

What is the bohemian style?
Boho style essentially dates back to the late 60s and early 70s and embodies the freedom and unstructured ethos of the hippie lifestyle. This hippie trend also emphasized an eco-friendly connection to the earth, so natural fabrics which are named boho dresses such as cheesecloth and cotton, as well as free-floating fabrics and patterns, reflected these ideals.
Where are the roots of the bohemian style?
The impetus of the hippie movement was to break free from the confines of the social structures of the 1950s and early 1960s, with their stereotypical roles and rigid expectations. Hippies idealized a free lifestyle, opened themselves to new experiences, and refused to conform to the ideas of others. Bohemian style was about embodying the principles of these ideas, such as free-flowing fabrics and patterns, rather than slavishly adopting a single design feature.
Where did the modern boho-chic style come from?
History shows that Siena Miller's bohemian was the first one who wore the Boho dresses at the 2004 Glastonbury festival that marked the initiation of the modern bohemian trend. However, some observers claim to see the elements of the bohemian look as early as late 2003. Since then, boho dresses have been liked and got popular.
What are the characteristic elements of bohemian and boho-chic clothing?
Bohemian clothing style is based on the idea that you are free to mix and match different pieces of clothing to reflect your unique character. While the emphasis is on the use of wide flowing patterns and lightweight, flowing fabrics, this does not exclude everything else. In boho dresses, the loose fit of the other garments is simply emphasized by something fitted (such as a stretchy waistcoat or leggings). And, of course, plus-size clothing is a must.
The base layer often consists of a spaghetti strap, vest, or small stretchy t-shirt. A bra top is a popular choice as well when paired with a mini skirt or tight shorts. Putting on an oversized jacket as a finishing touch would be a great addition.
Loose-fitting cardigans, slouchy-look T-shirts or sweaters, and loose linen jackets are common, but short versions of a jacket and cardigan can also cover a longer tunic or shirt to accentuate the layered look.
The peasant look is the epitome of boho chic and includes long oilcloth skirts, caftan-style dresses, and tunic-style blouses with wide sleeves. It looks especially good with a fur vest, but it also looks good over baggy jeans or wide pants: Leggings, long socks, and warm socks add to the look, sometimes in combination.
Most of the photos illustrating the different points can be found at the end of this article. However, below are a few examples:
What fabrics are best for boho clothing?
In keeping with the natural ethos of being earthy, natural materials are chosen for boho chic.
It is worth knowing that linen, cotton, and natural hemp can be chosen as fabrics to have flowing look. The semi-natural look of faux fur adds even more to this mood, and of course, leather and suede are great choices for coats and jackets, shoes and boots, and accessories like belts and bags. What colors embody the boho-chic look?
Once again, the emphasis on natural looks influences the main color palette of most bohemian and boho dresses. Autumnal earth tones like deep brown, rich tan and anthracite are represented as well as cool neutrals like soft beige and taupe, chalky white, and soft cream.

This paper explores a power-conversion system for single-phase transformerless ac module application. A nonisolated high-gain dc-dc stage is coupled with a doubly grounded dynamic dc-link inverter to implement the microinverter topology. The front-end boost stage steps up the single-module voltage to a higher dc voltage, typically to 200 or 400 V as required for the following inverter stage. It is a hybrid of an interleaved boost and switched capacitor concept capable of achieving high gain while simultaneously maintaining reduced voltage and current stress, and thus lowering switching and conduction loss for most of the switches. By directly connecting the grid neutral to the photovoltaic (PV) negative, the doubly grounded voltage swing inverter has the advantage of zero capacitive-coupled common-mode ground currents, critical for transformerless PV inverters. The two dc links of the inverter stage share the double-line frequency power decoupling with a combination of higher value of mean voltage and relatively large 120-Hz ripple component-the dynamic dc-link approach. Through an optimization algorithm, the decoupling capacitance is minimized enabling an all-film capacitor implementation while satisfying the converter's operating constraints over a wide range of power factors. The simulation as well as experimental results from a GaN-based hardware prototype validate the converter's performance.

During your life, your body is constantly changing. When you're younger, that's growth and puberty. As you age, different changes begin to occur within your body. These are a few of the health issues commonly associated with older adults.
Hearing and Vision Loss
As you grow older, your body begins to stop functioning at its top capacity. Specifically, an individual's eyes and ears begin to stop working quite as well. According to George St Eye Centre, this process progresses faster as individuals age, resulting in degraded vision and hearing. This ailment affects quite a high percentage of older adults in some form or another. This may result in something as minor as the adult needing glasses or hearing aids, or more intense hearing and vision loss. This is a completely normal process as individuals age, but it can be frustrating for you or a loved one to experience. Speak with your doctor if you are worried about vision or hearing loss, and they can direct you toward the best treatment options.
Joint Pain
Another common ailment individuals may experience as they age is joint pain. As you age, your muscles become weaker and ligaments stiffen, which makes it more difficult for your joints to move smoothly. If it continues, this joint pain can become osteoarthritis, which is a more serious illness. According to Med Mart, arthritis can result in stiffness and swelling around the joints. However, there are ways to slow down the process and keep your joints healthy for as long as possible. First, be sure you're getting a consistent amount of exercise. This movement keeps your joints lubricated and moving smoothly. This movement is also helpful for maintaining a healthy weight, which helps decrease the force on your joints. Lastly, including anti-inflammatory foods can help with any inflammation around your joints.
Memory Loss
Forgetfulness is another common symptom of aging. Just as your body begins to shift and change as you age, so does your mind. Becoming slightly more forgetful, or being unable to retain as much information as you once could is common. However, be sure to watch out for any signs of Alzheimer's disease. This illness has the same symptoms as regular memory loss but on a much greater level. Alzheimer's is a more serious disease, which can result in you forgetting basic functions and memories. If you start noticing more intense memory loss, consult your doctor to determine the cause.
Aging brings with it a slew of physical and emotional symptoms. Many of these are common and happen to the majority of adults as they age. However, it's always important to consult your doctor if you're worried to make sure these symptoms aren't from anything more serious.

Well, this is awkward.
Buzzfeed News has been at the forefront of some of the worst media blunders of the last several years. They of course hold the honor of being the only media organization to be publicly corrected by Robert Mueller. Just recently, they spread a false story that Ben Shapiro had helped radicalize a neo-nazi, leading to a half-hearted correction on their part.
Journalist integrity isn't really their thing. Slapping at Donald Trump is.
That brings us to a hilarious turn of events involving a story that spread like wildfire late last year. It goes something like this.
One Republican tells VF Trump didn't want to go to the cemetery in France was because there wasn't a tent to stand under. "He was worried his hair was going to get messed up in the rain," the source said. "Everyone was telling him this was a big mistake." https://t.co/UrJsY1A7W8
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) November 15, 2018
"It was an embarrassment, and he let down our veterans, he let down our country," says former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel about Trump skipping a ceremony at an American burial ground in France because of rain https://t.co/ysb5xIdBtc pic.twitter.com/Wljzhg0RqI
— CNN (@CNN) November 12, 2018
"His failure to go because of the rain was an insult, not only to World War I veterans, but to all veterans." – Former DNI James Clapper criticizes President Trump for skipping an event honoring American troops killed in France during World War I, citing weather concerns. pic.twitter.com/SnfYlPIvq8
— CNN Tonight (@CNNTonight) November 13, 2018
When Trump flies to France and then drops out of the ceremony at a military cemetery because of "rain" we must remember he's a liar.
It could just be that he's having a bad hair day that could be made much worse by the weather.
— Lawrence O'Donnell (@Lawrence) November 10, 2018
I promise I'm not trying to only cite people from CNN, but that's just how crazy that network is.
As you can see, the story at the time that Trump was being a diva and didn't like the rain because he'd melt or something. So he canceled the trip to stay within the protective confines of his hotel because he just hates veterans that much. This ridiculous narrative stayed in the news for almost a week, as hands were wrung and teeth gnashed.
Well, a big revelation just came out regarding what really happened and it comes in the form of a backfire on the part of Buzzfeed News.
You see, they made a FOIA request, no doubt trying to show Trump lied and instead they got a surprise.
NEW via my #FOIA from Dept of the Navy.
Remember last November when WH said Trump could not attend WW1 memorial at US cemetery in France due to rain?
Well, his transport really was canceled by the Navy due to rain.
Emails pic.twitter.com/pkkKwsX2Bs
— Jason Leopold (@JasonLeopold) May 28, 2019
And thus another fake news hit job bites the dust. I've lost count at this point. Will Buzzfeed, CNN, and the multitude of other outlets that ran with the false story give a correction? Nah, they won't. They'll move onto the next faux outrage like they always do.
Being in the mainstream media means never having to say you are sorry.

Violations | Current Max Penalty | New Max Penalty |
Wetlands Permit1 | $37,500/day | $51,570/day |
Stormwater/E&S | $37,500 | $51,570 |
Endangered Species ("take") | $25,000 | $49,467 |
OSHA ("serious") | $7,000 | $12,471 |
Clean Air Act | $25,000 | $93,750 |
Why are fees increasing?
The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act was signed into law by President Obama on November 2, 2015. The purpose of this act is to ensure that federal agencies regularly increase their civil penalties in line with inflation and thus maintain the penalties' preventive effect. The Inflation Act requires agencies to (1) implement a "catch up" adjustment to monetary penalties and (2) annually update the fees accounting for inflation. The "catch up" increases and inflation adjustments are based on specifications from the Executive Office of Management and Budget as outlined in the Inflation Act.
Future of fees
Starting next year federal agencies are required to publish in the Federal Register the inflation adjustment each year by January 15. Note, per the Inflation Act the adjustments can be published without public comment.
Who can I contact for more information?
Please contact Christie Blevins, Mark Headly, Dan Lucey, Mike Klebasko, or Mike Rolband for more information.
1. Both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can administer penalties under the Clean Water Act (CWA), for wetlands violations. EPA adjusted for inflation the statutory CWA civil penalties at 33 U.S.C. 1319(d) to $51,570. This covers all CWA judicial enforcement (including 402 and 404 violations). EPA also adjusted its CWA Class I administrative penalty (33 U.S.C. 1319 (g)(2)(A)) to $20,628 per violation with a maximum $51,570, and adjusted its Class II administrative penalty (33 U.S.C. 1319 (g)(2)(B)) to $20,628 per day with a maximum of $257,848. EPA published the adjustments in the Federal Register on 1 JUL 2016 with an effective date of 1 AUG 2016.
The Corps sets its own Class I administrative penalty amounts under the administrative penalty authority for permit violations. 33 U.S.C. 1319(g)(1)(B). Currently, these penalties may not exceed $11,000 per violation, with a maximum total amount of $32,500. 33 C.F.R. 326.6(a)(1). The Corps last adjusted these amounts for inflation in 2013. They have not yet adjusted those penalties in accordance with the 2015 amendments to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, but have a rulemaking now under way to do so.
