White House to Co-Host Data Privacy Event March 3
The White House said Monday that the first of three events exploring the impact of data collection on privacy, the economy and public policy will be held March 3 at MIT and deal with privacy issues.
The "Big Data Privacy: Advancing the State of the Art in Technology and Practice" workshop will be webcast, according to the White House Office Science & Technology Policy (OSTP), which is co-hosting the event.
The Obama Administration last month named counselor John Podesta to lead the review of "Big Data," one of several steps the President took in the wake of revelations about NSA data collection practices.
Since Podesta's position was announced, said U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer Nicole Wong in a blog posting, "senior administration officials have begun to look at the implications of collecting, analyzing, and using such data.
According to Wong, OSTP will be co-hosting two others events, one at New York University and another at Berkeley, though no dates have been announced.

Drinking whisky during lunch is not something I do on any kind of regular basis. There's the worry that perhaps the food will spoil the whisky or vice versa, plus the extra concern that I might lose the afternoon's work or even any memory of the afternoon at all.
However Whisky Month in Scotland is coming up in May and as so we're attending a wee precursor to the event, one that will last not just the month of May but will carry on with events for the rest of the year. The idea is to explore Scotland through its national drink and discover the beauty of the country with a glass in your hand. And with foreign holidays looking increasingly unaffordable this surely is a good idea. Why wander around the vineyards of Spain, increasingly treated as a poverty stricken leper by the locals, when you can put money into a local economy, see fabulous scenery and enjoy many a glass of some of Scotland's remarkable range of whiskies?
There are over 100 malt and grain distilleries in Scotland based in the regions of the Highlands, the Lowlands, Speyside, Cambeltown and Islay and just as with wine, the geography and climate of each region influences the whisky, along with the individual skills of each distiller and blender. During Whisky Month many distilleries that do not usually allow visitors inside will be throwing their doors wide and inviting whisky fans into their inner sanctums for exclusive access to see the water of life through its ancient production process. And of course as part of the celebrations there will be music, dance, song and feasting. Oh and some golf of course.
The month long programme of more than 30 events includes the newly extended Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, the brand new Spirit of the West festival, a specially commissioned musical production of Whisky Galore, Feis Ile – Islay's Malt and Music Festival.
Mmmmm .. peaty!
So here we are at Roast in Borough Market with some much-needed morning sun blasting through the big windows and sparkling through the six glasses of individual whiskies we all have in front of us, beer mats on top to stop the different aromas mixing up. It's a tempting sight for sure, the differing degrees of gold and amber really rather beautiful to behold.
Here too are Sheila McConachie and Graham Harvey, owners of the Craggan Mill restaurant www.cragganmill.com in Morayshire and joint authors of The Whisky Kitchen, a winner of one of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. They're here to provide a dish to go with each of the six whiskies, each dish containing some of the whisky as an ingredient. As tasting menus go, this sounds like an excellent idea to me and certainly different to the norm.
It would be a long process telling you of each dish, but the tasting menu went like this:
The menu
* Hot Soup Shot of Haggis Veloute with Glenfarclas 15 year old Single Malt
* Mini Smoked Haddock Fishcakes with Talisker 10 Year Old Single Malt
* Crab Spoons with Tomatin 12 year Old Single Malt
* Grilled Lamb Cutlet with marmalade and Jura 10 Year Old Single Malt
* Roast Pork Belly and Crackling with Craggamore 12 Year Old Single Malt
* Chocolate Truffle Torte with Glen Moray 15 Year Old Single Malt
And very nice it was too, some interesting dishes that I could have eaten more of given the time.

Marie Christie Homecoming Scotland 2009 Project Director said: "Scotch Whisky is a unique aspect of Scotland's rich culture and heritage which is celebrated across the world. Showcasing it through the Homecoming festivities provides us an opportunity to promote some of the country's most distinctive communities and regions through a lively programme of activity."

Seeds loaders are mostly used to load and deliver grain, seeds or fertilizers to the spreading or planting equipment, as well as devices that put fertilizers into the soil. This kind of equipment is used during the sowing of beans or grain crops, so its choice should be treated very carefully.
Once you've bought a seed loader, you must properly attach it to a tipper truck, taking into account the fastening type. These devices can be trailed or mounted. The equipment of ground type includes:
The price of a seed loader depends on its type and auxiliary equipment. For example, some models can be controlled with the use of a hydraulic control system of a tipper truck used for fastening of the loader. While the body is raised, everything inside, including grain, fertilizers or seeds, is moved closer to the receiving part of the conveyor. The hydraulic motor works, moving the transported material to the unloading window located in the auger. Then all products are moved further on. An auxiliary frame is used to fasten ground-type devices.
In order to fasten mounted loaders, the back part of the body side is used. The loaders consist of the following components:
A longitudinal auger deals with the supply of seeds or fertilizers, pouring everything to a specialized auger conveyor. Then the seeds are moved to the unloading window and further through a special unloading auger.
The trading platform offers different models of seeds loaders from famous Russian and foreign manufacturers. Here you can find new and used models, which allows each farm to find an offer that would best meet its needs and the size of budget. You can sell your own assembled equipment as a whole or piece by piece, on the website.

Alex and Elizabeth's Capitol Hill Club wedding in Washington DC is on the blog!! If you remember their Carter Mountain engagement photos from a few weeks ago, you know that I was so excited to see Elizabeth's wedding dress as it was a family heirloom. I have to say, Tang's Bridal and Alterations did a fantastic job transforming this beautiful wedding dress to fit Elizabeth like a glove. She looked absolutely stunning in it!
We started our day at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington DC where the two got ready before heading to St. James Catholic Church for the ceremony. Witnessing the support of their family and friends who came together to celebrate the beginning of a new marriage was a beautiful reminder of why I chose to become a wedding photographer. Their whole wedding was truly a reflection of how kind and genuine they really are as a couple!
After the ceremony was over, we took a few photos at the St. James Catholic Church, then headed to DC for more bride & groom portraits! We had the best weather we could have asked for with the most beautiful light for pictures! A warm October wedding?! Yes, please! And this one definitely did not disappoint.
One of my favorite things about this gorgeous Capitol Hill Club Wedding in Washington DC is the fact that Elizabeth wore her mom's wedding dress. How special is that?! Also, they had a small bridal party (only a maid of honor and best man) which gave us a lot more time for couple portraits. Absolutely love that! And last but not least, I love the fact that it felt like an intimate family centered celebration. The entire day was family focused.
Alex and Elizabeth, thank you for having me capture your Capitol Hill Club wedding in Washington DC! It was truly a dream!

Effectrix 2 VST Plug-in
Creative Sound Design
Effectrix is our most popular product. Sigur Ros, Armin van Buuren, Diplo and many others value its inspiring aspects.
Most of all: it sounds good. Its effects algorithms excel the often limited creative potential of conventional multi-effects.
Thanks to Effectrix, nailing effects to the grid has become a standard production method in all the sound kitchens worldwide.
Sequential Modulation
Each effect has two modulation tracks. All parameters can be controlled and via LFO, envelope follower or external MIDI hardware and automated. Bottom line is: two parameters per effect can be automated pattern-based.
You can store up to 12 different sequences within a single Effectrix preset and flip beween these via onscreen controls or external MIDI keyboard.
Instant Inspiration
Effectrix is the highly addictive games compendium for demanding sound fetishists. With its ultraflexible operational concept, it's your door into a wonderland of sound- and rhythm mutation.
Use Effectrix to refine your beats, enrich them with scratches or give them further complexity by looping, delaying, or reverberating phrases. Using the "Tonal Delay" you can create melodies out of any material. "Stutter" provides classical gating as well as sequenced panning and enveloping (working out transients).
On Stage
Effectrix is easily synced with DAWs or any DJ Software, so you can enrich your Mix-out with the classics (Reverb, Delay, Filter…) or sprinkle some Glitch and stutter effects onto your material.
Patterns can also be assigned to any other MIDI input you care to mention and for those with some imagination, the possibilities of such a set-up are remarkably broad: the patterns could be assigned to be triggered by footswitch in performances to spice up the stage show.

Launch of The African Housing Microfinance Initiative (AHMFI)
Last year, a group of colleagues working in housing finance came together to consider how the housing microfinance sector might be promoted in Africa. The meeting followed a series of consultation sessions held in nine countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, where local practitioners highlighted the key housing issues they were facing and considered what sorts of support might assist them in addressing the challenges. Out of this meeting, we formed AHMFI, the African Housing Microfinance Initiative (AHMFI). Still in its infancy, AHMFI is a collaboration between FinMark Trust'sCentre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa (CAHF), Rooftops Canada, Habitat for Humanity International, the Swedish Cooperative Centre, Homeless International, and Development Workshopin Angola. Our goal is to grow and support the housing microfinance sector in Africa, so that it contributes towards better access to effective and affordable housing finance. The partners working together in AHMFI also want to establish a mechanism for more effective coordination of their activities, whether at the country, regional or global level. Key objectives for AHMFI include the following:
- To collate and share information, and to commission research, to develop a body of knowledge for housing micro finance (HMF) practice in Africa;
- To strengthen the capacity of HMF practitioners in Africa through technical assistance and training, improving technical performance of HMFIs;
- To provide a networking function for the HMF sector in Africa, creating a directory of services available, enabling linkages between HMF practitioners and promoting peer learning;
- To coordinate and harmonise member activities and to prevent unnecessary duplication; and
- To be grounded in practice and to continually refine and update from field experience.
In the coming months, we will be developing the format of this newsletter. We welcome your input on its structure and approach. Included in each monthly edition, we will set out recent developments in the sector, provide links to new research, writing, and published materials. Some of you who know the CAHF website may have already drawn relevant information: Michael Kihato has recently written three blogs; outlining recent literature on HMF, one on the resurgence of thinking on sites and services; and the most recent one on whether HMF is truly a solution to Bottom of Pyramid housing challenges.
We have a few announcements to make:
Habitat for Humanity International has launched a housing microfinance technical advisory service toolkit. Habitat's toolkit aims to strengthen institutions involved or interested in housing microfinance services through: developing housing microfinance products and services on product development, housing support services, planning of pilot project and funding.
We are about to release a report on the State of Housing Microfinance in Africa. This follows a 2009 report already available on the website and titled 'Scoping the Demand for Housing Microfinance in Africa: Status, Opportunities and Challenges' We'll let you know when that report is ready – very soon.
More about AHMFI
Rooftops Canada, the Centre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa (a division of the FinMark Trust), and Habitat for Humanity International have been partners in the development of a sub-Saharan housing microfinance sector since 2008. Following two housing microfinance workshops, held in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, a key outcome raised by participants has been how to build on the momentum of these and ensure that a strong housing microfinance sector emerges to support good housing outcomes for the vast unserved population of the region. A consultation process carried out between September 2011 and February 2012 was discussed at a partners' workshop in Johannesburg in April 2012 (partners at the workshop were Rooftops Canada, the CAHF, Habitat for Humanity International, Homeless International, the Swedish Cooperative Centre and Development Workshop), and the ideas for a regional initiative were formed. This newsletter is one part of that exercise. For more information, please contact Olga Koma at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Magical Girl Site Season 2 - What We Know So Far
In early 2018, Production doA released an anime adaptation of the popular manga series "Magical Girl Site," which centers around a severely depressed and abused middle school student named Aya Asagiri who stumbles upon a website that grants girls powerful magical abilities. While the animation style appears cute and potentially cheerful, don't be fooled, as it hides a very dark and twisted story about power and manipulation as the protagonist and other young girls face an end of the world situation. The show quickly introduces a handful of other "magical girls" with a connection to the site, some becoming Aya's friends, while others are new enemies.
The first season of the anime adaptation of "Magical Girl Site" ran from April to June 2018, with 12 episodes in total. It can currently be streamed worldwide on Amazon Prime. While the story starts off closely following the plot of the manga, the season eventually ends with a diverting, original ending that leaves the story open for future seasons. But is a second season of "Magical Girl Site" in the cards? Here's everything we know so far about "Magical Girl Site" Season 2.
When will Magical Girl Site Season 2 come out?
While "Magical Girl Site" has developed a bigger following over the years since its release, the series didn't have a great run when it first premiered in 2018. A lot of the criticism comes from fans of the manga who didn't like how much the anime's plot varied from the original material. When the possibility of Season 2 for the show is discussed, many people urge others to just read the manga instead, which is definitely a bad sign for the future of "Magical Girl Site." With that in mind, it shouldn't be too big of a surprise to learn that a second season of the anime has unfortunately not been announced yet. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it will never happen.
The world of anime production is a strange one, and many shows have new seasons released years after the previous one finished. For example, the popular anime "World Trigger" aired its first season from 2014 to 2016, and the second season didn't come out until five years after the first one ended, in January 2021. While "Magical Girl Site" might not have been successful initially, getting picked up as an exclusive anime release from Amazon is no small feat, and it could really increase the chances of Production doA making more episodes. For fans of "Magical Girl Site," just keep your fingers crossed that news of a second season comes soon.
What characters will feature in Magical Girl Site Season 2?
"Magical Girl Site" has quite a few important characters who play a key role in Aya's life, whether in a positive or negative way. At the beginning of the story, Aya's older brother Kaname physically abuses her at home, taking out his anger at their father on her, while a group of bullies at school, led by Sarina, Ai, and Erika, mercilessly and dangerously torment Aya everyday. This leads Aya to find the magical website that grants her a special toy-like gun that transports people away from her. After Aya discovers this magic, she starts meeting other girls like her, who reveal that there's a lot more to the site than there first appears.
One of Aya's biggest allies is a girl named Tsuyuno whose magic allows her to freeze time. The two then search for and team up with other magical girls like Nijimi, Kosame, Kiyoharu, and Asahi, as well as a few others. As the girls investigate the apocalyptic event predicted by the site, they come across people hunting down the magical girls, like Rina, while there are mysterious site managers, such as Nana who gives Aya her "wand" (the gun), who are enacting a plan for an omnipotent leader named The King. With Aya constantly meeting new magical girls and people involved in the site's conspiracy, there's an expansive set of interesting characters in "Magical Girl Site," and there are sure to be more introduced in new episodes.
What will happen in Magical Girl Site Season 2?
Based on the manga that ran from 2013 to 2019, "Magical Girl Site" focuses on Aya, whose life is forever changed when she receives a magical gun that transports people to far away locations, leading to an incident where two of Aya's school bullies die. Aya blames herself for their deaths, but then another magical girl named Tsuyuno appears, revealing a deep conspiracy about magic and an apocalyptic event known as the "Tempest." As the girls further investigate the Tempest, they start to realize that the magic all of the girls have is damaging to them, limiting their lifespans, and it can be extremely dangerous. "Magical Girl Site" gets very dark, with storylines that deal with issues like abuse and depression, while there's a lot of violence in scenes where the girls fight against magical hunters or the bad people in their life, like Aya's abuser, her brother Kaname.
In Season 1 of the anime, Aya and Tsuyuno face a lot of hardship and loss, but in the end they are able to stop the site managers and the King from gaining enough power to execute the Tempest, saving the world. The show also leaves it open for more adventures, as the King vows revenge. Although the end of the anime diverts from the source material, there's also more to the manga story that the show could cover in some way going forward. On the other hand, Aya and Tsuyuno get a relatively happy ending at the end of the first season, so "Magical Girl Site" definitely has the potential to shift the focus to other magical girls affected by the site and start a whole new story.

The 2021-22 NBA season will attempt to be as close to a normal NBA season as possible after two years playing through a pandemic. The COVID situation in the United States has not improved as much as expected, but the league expects to get a full 82 games in while pushing for its players, coaches and staff to get vaccinated.
DKNation will be going through all 30 teams ahead of the season, looking at betting odds for each squad courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. Here, we'll be looking at Washington Wizards odds heading into the new season.
Washington Wizards Odds for 2021-22 Season
Win total over/under: 33.5
The Wizards made the playoffs last season, but the Russell Westbrook trade appears to have oddsmakers skeptical about the team in 2021-22. Washington may have gotten better with the return, but it might not matter if Bradley Beal ultimately decides he wants out at the end of the season. This line could be hedging against Beal being moved by the trade deadline.
Odds to make playoffs: No -700, Yes +500
As mentioned above, the Beal situation will ultimately decide Washington's fate. It seems like he wants to stay with the team, which would be "Yes" is a great value play at +500. The Wizards made the playoffs last season out of the play-in tournament, so there's no reason to think they'll be significantly worse this year.
List of player futures
Bradley Beal, MVP: +6000
Bradley Beal, scoring leader: +275
Davis Bertans, Sixth Man of the Year: +5500
Rui Hachimura, Most Improved Player: +8000

In the beginning, there was coffee and passion to roast the best product possible. Paloma and Marco, the co-founders of Puchero roastery, are from Spain and Italy respectively. After living in London for several years, they decided to stop, reflect and take a new approach to life. They travelled to new places and met incredible people along the way, whose love for the exciting world of coffee rubbed off on them. Together, they created Puchero, which has grown since 2015 to become a leader in specialty coffee and one of the best roasters in Spain. But the story doesn't end there. Three years later, chocolate came into their lives. Inspired by the infinite nuances of cacao from around the world, at Puchero they roast beans that have been harvested and dried on the farm by small-scale producers to make bars of craft chocolate.

His daughter was being criticized by the lunch ladies for the food in her lunchbox.
By Nia Tipton — Written on Mar 18, 2023
Photo: TikTok
A father decided to hit back at the school employees who would comment on what he packed for his daughter to eat at lunch.
In a TikTok video, Ross, a father of three young children, shared the genius hack he used to ward off unnecessary comments about the meals his daughter would eat at lunch, which were accused of being non-healthy by the school lunch staff.
He was praised for leaving an angry note for his daughter's school in her lunchbox.
In Ross' video, the father-of-three explained that he decided to leave a note in his daughter's lunch bag after hearing that many students at her school were being berated by the lunch ladies for the meals they were bringing.

"Since we can make our own labels, I've done this for Isabelle's lunchbox," Ross shared. "Basically the kids in school have been getting sh-t [from] the dinner ladies for eating 'non-healthy' food."
He said the lunch ladies at his daughter's school would tell the children they shouldn't be eating certain foods in their lunch bags, and instead try to tell them what they should be eating.
"It's f-king irritating and it's put Isabelle off from taking lunch with her," he continued, pointing out that when the children are served meals, such as chocolate cake, by the lunch ladies it's fine, but when it's packed in their lunch containers, there is a problem.
As a solution, Ross decided to make a label to attach to the inside of Isabelle's lunch bag, which would hopefully deter the lunch ladies from making any more unnecessary comments about the meals she was eating.
"Welcome to Isabelle's lunch box! We are aware of the contents of this box and are happy for Isabelle to eat whatever she wants," the label read.
Ross pointed out that "in short," the school's lunch staff should "stop telling kids what they shouldn't eat" and leave their nutrition worries to the parents, who know best about what to feed their children and what not to feed them.
In the comments section, people commended Ross for taking a stance against the school's lunch staff.
"It's a nightmare, they promote healthy eating but my child comes home saying they had pizza and chips and some cake. So which part of that is healthy?" one TikTok user wrote.
Another user added, "I work in a school and have this argument often. I would rather a child ate and was full than lots of 'healthy' foods they won't eat."
"My son and daughter are so conscious about what they eat due to the school promoting 'healthy eating,'" a third user chimed in.
In 2020, registered dietician Jennifer Anderson shared a viral Instagram post urging adults to avoid shaming certain food groups due to the impact his can have on kids.
Related Stories From YourTango:
"Did you know kids will skip free school lunch because of stigma? And stigma comes from other kids criticizing them. And when stigmatized kids skip a school lunch, they miss tons of nutrition that they can't get later," Anderson wrote. "This is one reason I say over and over, let's not call food 'good' and 'bad,' 'healthy' or 'unhealthy.' It hurts people when they hear us say their food is bad!"
As Ross successfully achieved, encouraging kids to feel positive about filling up their stomachs and enjoying the food they eat is vital in cultivating a strong, positive relationship with food and body image.

Lord, teach us to hope. Some of us aren't skilled on artwork from prayer. While we mark near to you inside the consider, our very own morale long for your own Spirit, and extend to you personally, need feeling you near. We understand not ideas on how to express the latest strongest attitude one to lay undetectable within minds.
On these moments, you will find sugar daddy uk app no polished phrases that to impress one another, no carefully molded, delicately turned into clauses to present for your requirements. Nor would we feel restricted so you can traditional petitions and you can recite the prayers like the relaxing regarding a significantly-opened flick.

We would not ignorant into the prayer and you may, such as for instance pupils, build need listings for your requirements. Rather, i pray that you'll provide unto us only what we should really need. We could possibly not generate all of our prayers the fresh new importuning of you, a keen omnipotent Goodness, accomplish whatever you want you doing.

The new Perspective regarding Communal Prayer
For the majority Protestant places of worship, specifically those on evangelical heritage, prayer is normally felt a personal and private amount between a beneficial people and you will God. Even personal prayer has actually had a tendency to keeps one measurement to it, usually offered extemporaneously from personal expertise without much earlier in the day think going into the both the form otherwise articles of your own prayer, plus smaller into the theology shown regarding the prayer. Probably the most heretical values I've heard conveyed from the Christians are in social prayer.
The good dimension associated with custom element of prayer is the fact prayer in those way of life keeps had a tendency to have a profoundly spiritual measurement, a phrase of the crucial and you will authentic piety which is therefore far part of the fresh new evangelical Protestant tradition. Including prayer besides shows someone's journey of faith, it will continually be reflective of a significantly adopted individual spirituality you to breathes vitality and interests towards the prayer one another personal and private. Particular living having a lot of time put authoritative prayers possess accepted this dimensions and have now on purpose attempted to make use of so it active quality of individualized and you can impromptu prayer within their very own life.
The latest negative measurement from individualized prayer, specially when expressed because the personal prayer, is founded on their minimal diversity and you can range. You can easily make it prayer in order to center on a finite selection of questions that will be from immediate private focus. Whilst will require deliberate thought and meditation to move beyond those individuals personal questions, far societal impromptu prayer are one to-dimensional.
It is also simple for prayer, especially public prayer during the worship, so you're able to degenerate for the clichs. This really is possibly compounded from the proven fact that most people are self-aware of hoping in public places, and so usually recite "safe" kinds of prayers as opposed to getting into prayer as a dimension regarding praise. Together with sad simple truth is that lots of some body just do perhaps not can pray publicly, problematic shared with Jesus' disciples who emerged and you will requested him, "Grasp, Instruct us to pray." (Luke 11:1). As well as private prayer is tough to fairly share regarding the perspective regarding serious drama, the times whenever prayer oftentimes will become necessary.
Illustrate Me to Pray Societal Prayers to possess Properties out-of Worship
Invention and you may forethought are not usually items that really Protestant evangelicals relate with prayer. In some lifestyle there's been a principal design for prayer inherited from particular historical models. New loud and sometimes raucous prayer you to definitely distinguisheded boundary revivalism otherwise exclusive style of social prayer one to arose in some Southern area churches try part of a bigger cultural framework, and you can is actually discovered as an element of you to society (get a hold of Reduced Chapel and High church).

You'll need a 3.5mm and a 4mm crochet hook, along with two buttons for the garments, and a ribbon for each dress.

Ricky Reynolds Jr. has the smile and spirit of his late father.
"I'm always told that I look like him, I act like him, my characteristics, my smile," he said.
"Most people love him. You know, he's a people person," Joyce Riddick-Reynolds, mother of Ricky Reynolds Sr., said.
Now Ricky Jr. is a dad, himself, to 15-year-old Anthoni and 2-year-old Royal. Joyce is Ricky Jr.'s grandmother.
"Someone is missing. Someone is missing," she said. "And that was my oldest son."
Joyce's son was shot and killed in North Philadelphia on June 7, 1990, at the age of 22. In the same year, she lost four other family members.
"It always will be there but I'm sure every time, I know for a fact that the more I share, the more I heal," she said.
Dr. Dorothy Johnson-Speight founded Mothers In Charge in 2003 after losing her son to gun violence.
"That's the thing because the holidays are so difficult. You know, that loved one is not there at the holiday table," Johnson-Speight said. "So the holidays, November, December, tough times for all of us, even those of us who lost our children many years ago."
Several times a week, Mothers In Charge holds support group meetings. The Joy of Sharing Toy Drive will support the families.
"We touch our own pain when we do this work because we all lost sons, daughters, and loved ones, but it gives us an opportunity to not so much think about our own loss, but to bring a smile or some happiness to others, and that helps us even in our own healing," Johnson-Speight said.
Joyce has been passionate about helping Mothers In Charge.
"I've done several counseling sessions here and I'm doing them now, to help other people who have had losses, to know that we can go on," she said.
She has nothing but praise for the viewers who donate to Joy of Sharing.
"And a lot of people will take that as, you know, a love action," Joyce said. "They care about my child then because some kids don't get anything for Christmas."

When analyzing morbidity data from 2021, investigators found that COVID-19 was among the 10 leading causes of death among children and young people.
COVID-19 was a leading cause of death for children and young people (CYP) in the United States from August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, according to a recent study published in JAMA Network Open.
Over 360,000 deaths occurred in the United States from COVID-19 between August 1, 2021, and July 31, 2022. Of these, 821 were reported in CYP aged 0 to 19 years, with the risk of death from COVID-19 significantly lower in children than in other age groups.
As death from all causes is rare in pediatric patients, the mortality burden of COVID-19 can be measured through comparison to other significant causes of death in CYP. Mortality statistics can be obtained from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database.
Investigators determined the 10 leading causes of death among CYP in 2019, then determined whether COVID-19 was within the 10 leading causes of death in this age group during the study period. The 10 leading causes of death were determined by the US National Center for Health Statistics.
According to authors of the study, "an underlying cause of death is defined as a disease or injury that initiates a series of events leading directly to death." Investigators reported crude death rates per 100,000 individuals.
The crude death rate from COVID-19 among CYP was 1 per 100,000. This rate was 4.3 per 100,000 in infants aged under 1 year, 0.6 per 100,000 in children aged 1 to 4 years, 0.4 per 100,000 in children aged 5 to 9 years, 0.5 per 100,000 in children aged 10 to 14 years, and 1.8 per 100,000 in adolescents aged 15 to 19 years.
Leading causes of death among CYP in 2019 were perinatal conditions at 12.7 per 100,000, unintentional injuries at 9.1 per 100,000, congenital malformations or deformations at 6.5 per 100,000, assault at 3.4 per 100,000, suicide at 3.4 per 100,000, malignant neoplasms at 2.1 per 100,000, heart diseases at 1.1 per 100,000, and influenza and pneumonia at 0.6 per 100,000. In this ranking, COVID-19 is ranked as the eighth leading cause of death.
When disaggregating rankings by age group, COVID-19 remained in the top 10 leading causes of death in CYP, being seventh for those aged under 1 year, seventh for those aged 1 to 4 years, sixth for those aged 5 to 9 years, sixth for those aged 10 to 14 years, and fifth for those aged 15 to 19 years.
The 10 leading causes of death remained mostly unchanged from 2015 to 2019, and from 2019 to 2020 and 2021. The exception to this was COVID-19 being among the 10 leading causes of death in 2021. This showed COVID-19 to be a leading cause of death among CYP.

White House Mystery: Missing W's
Jan. 23 -- Aides to President Bush are working on a mystery: the case of the missing W's.
Many aides in the new administration assigned to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, adjacent to the White House, discovered Monday that their computer keyboards were missing the "W" key — a critical problem given their boss' name is George W. Bush, and he is often referred to simply as "W," to distinguish him from his presidential dad.
Some keyboards did have W keys, but they lacked a working springbeneath them or were otherwise broken. In what was clearly aprank, some W keys were located atop extremely high door frames.
Official Word: 'Oh,' Not 'Wow'
When asked his reaction, White House spokesman Ari Fleischerreplied, "It would have been 'Wow.' But the W was removed, so nowit's just, 'Oh.'"
Fleischer noted from a glance at his own keyboard that the prankdid not extend to the West Wing, where the key members of the administration work. "I have my W," he said.
He declined to speculate on suspects, although ex-Clintoniteswere high on the list. Even though he acknowledges the key problemas a joke, Fleischer also said, "If they're not found and thecomputer doesn't work, that's government property that now is goingto have to be replaced or fixed."
After this development, White House aides were on the lookoutfor further pranks.
"Any more jokes played on me? Anybody in this room want toanswer that?" Fleischer asked reporters gathered in his office.
"Give us time," a reporter replied dryly.

A Guide On Buying Ducted Air Conditioning Systems
Ducted air conditioning systems are one of the most common AC systems worldwide. Typically, the system uses a series of ducts to supply warm or cold air inside the building. The extract below details some things you should know about ducted AC systems. With luck, you should have an easy time buying a ducted AC system.
A mistake made by most people is buying an AC system due to its popularity or because someone they know uses it. In reality, you should examine your needs to determine a suitable system. For instance, call an HVAC professional to calculate the British Thermal Units (BTU) needed to cool the house. The assessment prevents you from buying a smaller system than you need. Remember, you could strain the compressor, affecting the longevity of the AC system. Besides, the system might not work optimally. Consider your future heating or cooling needs. For example, if you plan to extend the property or create a guest wing, you will need a larger AC system.
Check the energy efficiency rating on the system. Do not shy off from buying an expensive AC system with a high energy efficiency rating. Remember, you will make lifetime savings on your energy bills. Consider AC systems that integrate smart features such as mobile control. It helps improve the AC's functionality and guarantees convenience. For instance, you could set the system to warm your home as you leave the office. This way, you do not have to overwork the system by setting it to a high temperature at once. As a rule, the AC system should have a thermostat. The device allows you to control the internal temperatures. Additional features such as dehumidifiers and air purifiers will come as an added advantage.
Ducts are an essential component of the AC system. Therefore, it would be wise to acquaint yourself with the different types of AC ducts. Sheet metal ducts are made from steel or aluminium. These ducts are known to improve air quality since their interior is easy to clean. However, they can be a bit expensive compared to other types of ducts. Fibreboard ducts comprise fibre glass strands bonded to a resin. Although cheap, these ducts are difficult to clean; hence, you might breathe in contaminants.
