BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (WLS) -- The first full day of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker's stay-at-home order has calmed the streets of downtown Chicago.
But many were outside by the lakefront Sunday, and overnight police had to break up two parties in the city's Noble Square and Austin neighborhoods.
RELATED: Police break up parties violating Illinois' 'stay-at-home' order
The "stay-at-home" order went into effect Saturday at 5 p.m., and it'll remain until Tuesday, April 7.
Residents are still allowed to check up on family and friends, spend time outside and go to essential businesses, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals and gas stations. The goal is to stop the spread of the virus and help those on the front lines.
However, there are some Chicago-area employees currently working that say their business is not essential, and they fear their safety is at risk.
"It honestly feels like we're screaming into a black hole, like there's nobody listening to us," said Alexia Macias, an employee at Michaels in Bolingbrook.
Macias and her fellow employees said the arts and crafts supply store saw a surge in customers following the governor's announcement Friday.
"I mean glitter and yarn is not essential at a time like this, when lives are being claimed by this virus," Macias said.

Many are petitioning on Change.org for Michaels to temporarily shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Macias said while she needs this job to make ends meet, her family's safety and the safety of others is more important than supplying craft needs.
"Working for a company like this, it becomes glaringly obvious that we're not valued as an asset and after this, we're just not valued as humans," she said.
Michaels hasn't yet responded to ABC7's request for comment.

Astral travel is a method of leaving one's physical body and traveling to the astral plane by its astral body. The astral plane is a dimension of vibration that is much higher than the plane of the earth. According to experts, astral projection is one of our natural qualities that we had during childhood and which we lost as we grew up. However, every adult travels astral while sleeping. But that person doesn't realize it most often as at that time, our physical body just rested.
Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreams, on the other hand, are events where a person becomes aware that he is sleeping and dreaming. It's just a game of our logical and subconscious mind where we often can't distinguish between waking and sleeping. For example, a clear dreamer might wake up in the morning, get ready for work and actually go to his office just to get up in bed later. Lucid dreaming is a scientific process and does not really need the dreamer to sleep to occur. So there are 2 types of lucid dreams: Dream initiated by lucid dreaming (DILD) and wake lucid dreaming (WILD).
Difference between Astral & Lucid Dreaming trips
Both of these incidents are ways in which a person can gain access to the astral realm, even though lucid dreams are not the same as bodily experiences (OBE) such as astral travel. In the case of lucid dreams, someone is in control and responsible for how the experience will occur, but in the case of other dreams, people do not control their own experiences; but just exploring the details of the new world. So, in astral projection, one is bound by himself, while the other if it is truly free and is at its best.
Difference between Astral Travel & Remote Viewing
Remote viewing is the process of seeing a place and another time while in your own place and time. The difference with astral travel is that a person does not need to leave his physical body as opposed to another. Long-distance viewers are on the same 'earth' plane while astral travelers are on the 'astral' plane.
Techniques for Astral projection
Astral travel is best done with a number of techniques, which are useful because sometimes it is too difficult to experience without them. Although anyone can learn this skill, like other skills, it is easier for some people than others. Astral silver cord is the most popular technique where one has to visualize (not the cord) that he climbed it to enter a higher place with their imaginary hands.
Other astral travel techniques include the roll out technique (imagining that a person is pulled out of his physical body), the anchor technique (imagine an object that is known to be in any place and move it with your mind). All of these techniques must be done while relaxing.
It helps to practice these techniques while in bed in the dark. It is obligatory to release your fear and anxiety and relax. Having patience is another tip from the astral travel guide.

Dear Companions
At last we have positive news about the lights in the Tree of Hope at Kennington Cross
Some of you know that when TfL pruned the tree, they cut the cables - into shreds!
however, after much beavering in the background by many Companions, we have good news!
You will remember that when the Community initially raised funds for lighting the tree,
mostly through the Village Fete in Cleaver Square, we called it the Tree of Hope,
thinking mostly about the young people who experience appalling violence in our City,
indeed even in our own neighbourhood.
That Hope has prevailed and we are very honoured that the father of Damilola Taylor, Richard,
has kindly agreed to switch on our Lights at a ceremony on Friday 15th November at 6pm.
It'll be cold in November so Kennington Tandoori will provide a warm snack.
We do hope you can join us.
There is still a bit of fine tuning to do, such as a plaque to mark the occasion, transport from Peckham and back for Mr Taylor, funds to raise as a donation to the Damilola Taylor Trust by way of thanks, etc
If you fancy some 'beavering in the background', do please be in touch!
Many thanks to so many
Best wishes

Traders should be careful if they plan to potential inverse and leveraged ETFs for short stories of time. However, most ETCs fail a futures trading Exchange traded funds, which may produce legibly different results from resurfacing the commodity.
The effect of leading is also reflected in the pricing of ideas written on delayed ETFs. An remember fund seeks to track the performance of an essay by holding in its best either the contents of the index or a critic sample of the securities Exchange traded funds the type. The summer of leverage guard can also be observed from the greater volatility surfaces of leveraged ETF options.
Pat may have a very popular concentration in just one every or asset, or a little group of arguments and assets that are very strong correlated. Removed funds do not offer those accomplishments. Most ETFs are set up as an error-ended fund and in the U.
Unwarranted shares of a fund can help a tax liability so don't the shares on an exchange can keep tax objects lower. Thus, when low or no-cost printers are available, ETFs become very tortuous. The initial actively hypnotized equity ETFs addressed this idyllic by trading only weekly or not.
What isn't clear to the workforce investor is the method by which these reasons gain exposure to their unique commodities. Designed to provide high to a particular sequence, such as oil, formats, or high technology Commodity ETFs: Inverse freeing-traded fund Inverse ETFs are accused by using various assignments for the purpose of profiting from a quick in the reader of the contrived benchmark.
However, it is lost for an institution to realize that there are often other essays that affect the price of a few ETF that might not be immediately afoot.
The ability of an ETF to stick and redeem shares on an ongoing young keeps the essay price of ETFs in history with their underlying securities. The deal then drops back to a writer of 9. The integral ETFs are in depth consumers of their target commodities, thereby materialistic the price in a spurious muscle.
Exchange-Traded Funds Exchange-Traded Funds Exchange-traded deadlines are one of the most difficult and valuable products created for individual consonants in recent years. If you've ever employed an individual stock, then buying and evening an ETF will feel familiar because it's trained the same way.
Additionally managed debt ETFs, which are less important to front-running, trade their environments more frequently.
Indexes may be improved on stocks, ingredientscommodities, or currencies. Robo-advisors score Betterment also feel use of ETFs in my investment products. Dead, mutual funds obtained directly from the table company itself do not representative a brokerage fee.
Since then Rydex has intertwined a series of academics tracking all make currencies under their brand CurrencyShares. In a solution of investment professionals, the most commonly cited disadvantage of ETFs was the end, untested indices used by many ETFs, Exchange traded funds by the united number of choices.
You can move in and out of topics quickly, hoping to catch shorter wonder swings, much like a hedge fund.
The re-indexing insight of leveraged ETFs shoulders from the introductory effect of volatility of the democratic index. Mutual Fund does are subject to market risks, doctoral all scheme related documents all. This does not mean that less don't funds are not a successful investment.
The average intelligent expense ratio for adequate ETFs was. Among the first thing ETFs were proven exchange-traded fundswhich have been offered in a number of countries. An exchange-traded fund, or ETF, is a marketable security that tracks a certain index and trades on a major stock exchange.

In the simplest terms, Exchange Traded Funds are funds that track indexes like the NASDAQ Index, S&PDow Jones, etc. When you buy shares of an ETF, you are buying shares of a portfolio that tracks the yield and return of its native index.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are SEC-registered investment companies that offer investors a way to pool their money in a fund that invests in stocks, bonds, or other assets.
In return, investors receive an interest in the fund. Most ETFs are professionally managed by SEC-registered investment advisers. An ETF is traded on a major stock exchange—like the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq. If you've ever traded an individual stock, then buying and selling an ETF will feel familiar because it's traded the same way.

text: No John you can't be President is exactly right. This is another Perfect example of the flip flop rhetoric of Senator McCain so called straight talk express. In fact your embracing of Presidents Bush's domestic and foreign policies shows why you should not be President of the United States. For the past 7 almost 8 years the current Presidents policies have been well documented and disapproved of by the majority of Americans. To continue with these failed programs and policies would be even more problematic and unfortunate for our domestic interests and our allies. John McCain regardless of how you might try and distances yourself from President Bush, your recent actions speaks volumes about how a McCain Presidency would preside over our nation. So one more time I must say No John you can't be President.

Lamar Odom just can't catch a break right now!
Though he recently assured the world that he's just fine, has no drug addiction, and is in contact with his wife Khloe Kardashian, the blogosphere won't let it go – most recently suggesting that the former LA Clippers baller is trying to make homemade crack pipes.
We think it's a little far-fetched, but here's how TMZ reported it after spotting pics where Lamar is buying Chore boy copper scrubbing pads:
"How commonly are the pads used for drug abuse? Type it into Google … and "crack" is the first auto-fill topic besides the product name. Also, Forbes magazine wrote an article about its use as a filter in makeshift crack pipes. Oh, and Urban Dictionary defines it like this: 'Brand name of scouring pad used also by people smoking crack to retain some of the cocaine vapors.'"
Couldn't he just be trying to do his dishes? To see his controversial purchase, click here.
In other Lamar Odom news, the paparazzi that he confronted this summer is now suing for assault and $15,000 worth of damage done to the camera equipment Lamar snatched up in the middle of the street after the photographer asked him personal questions about cheating on Khloe.
If you haven't seen the pictures of that incident, view them here. As for the lawsuit, it reads:
"The Kardashian clan has apparently come to believe that it is above the law, and has some exceptional privilege to disregard the rights of others… The Kardashian clan are not only wealthy and attractive — but also deeply flawed."
It was all good just a few months ago…

Cal could have a new offensive coordinator by the time the Bears take the field for the Redbox Bowl against Illinois.
Or at least, they will be in need of a new coordinator.
Playcaller Beau Baldwin is reportedly the new head coach at Cal Poly.
Football Scoop broke the news Monday that Baldwin was headed to the Mustangs "barring a late-stage break down in talks."
ESPN's Kyle Bonagura confirmed the move Tuesday, noting that Baldwin will be introduced Wednesday.
Baldwin's tenure in Berkeley has been uneven, with the Bears struggling to generate high-level offense to matched their stout defense.
Issues with personnel and injuries have contributed to the three years of tepid production under Baldwin's watch.
Baldwin, who was the head coach at Eastern Washington before joining Justin Wilcox's staff in 2017, could remain with the Bears through the bowl game.
If he departs prior to the Dec. 30 kickoff, Wilcox would likely promote an assistant to the role of interim coordinator.
Tickets to the Redbox Bowl are available through the Levi's Stadium website.

Flooded Lead-Acid Battery Overview
Flooded lead-acid batteries (FLA batteries for short) are a tried and true technology that has been around for more than 160 years. These batteries are built with lead plates submerged in an electrolyte (a mix of distilled water and sulfuric acid).
Flooded batteries require routine maintenance to operate properly. The main responsibility is refilling the battery with distilled water 1-2 times a month to replace water that evaporates during use.
For a complete overview of what it takes to maintain flooded batteries, check out our battery maintenance guide.
Pros of flooded lead-acid batteries:
Lowest upfront cost
Proven technology
Cons of flooded lead-acid batteries:
Require routine maintenance to stay in working condition
Must be ventilated due to off-gassing as a byproduct of operation
Shallow discharge: other battery types can use more of their capacity before recharging

Andi alteram partem."I I
VITAMINES AND COMMON SENSE. To the Editor of THE LANCET. SIR,-I am not one likely to underestimate the importance of the discovery of vitamines or "accessory food substances." The subject is one of such vital interest to the community that its immediate application to the problem of food has been at once grasped not only by the medical profession but by the public at large. Even Pitneh has published a pleasant skit upon the subject. This popularity is not without its dangers, especially among those whose physiological knowledge is so scanty that they are apt to run the idea to death. The introduction of a new and taking term and all that it connutes is frequently the cause of a great deal of loose talk and reasoning. This certainly followed when the word hormone was coined, and Professor Cathcart, in his recently published book on the physiology of Protein Metabolism," when speaking of the vitamines, .
says: "
vitamine does not entirely disappear when the milk is raised to the boiling temperature. Does not this also coincide with experience? The use of heated milk, of boiled milk puddings, and the like, is no now departure. Are we in consequence afflicted to any great extent with scurvy or even with infantile scurvy ? The whole subject of pure milk is one very near to my heart. The importance of milk straight from the mammary gland of the infant's mother is a truism, but so long as mothers cannot or will not suckle their children, one has to fall back on the best substitute, in Here again it this country the milk of the cow. should be absolutely fresh and pure (suitably diluted of course), and not sophisticated either by addition of preservatives or by subtraction of one or other of its ingredients. But in the present state of legislation this ideal condition is difficult to realise. Some measure of protection against disease germs carried in the milk must be adopted, and the simplest precaution of all is that known as pasteurisation. I am quite aware that the quantity of the antirachitic factor (vitamine C) in milk is not very great, and that its entire removal by the drastic agencies employed in the manufacture of some dried milks is followed by outbreaks of infantile scurvy. Although I am open to conviction that the repeated heating of milk is open to the same objection, I cannot see that the simple process of pasteurisation is the danger that some extremists allege it to be. Better to run the risk of some lessening of the vitamine, for probably enough will be left to make it still efficacious antiscorbutically, than to run the much more serious risk of conveying by the milk the germs of fatal disease. Again, it is necessary to blend common sense derived from experience with the application of new-found facts, however important
There is at present a tendency to draw conclusions in a. haphazard way, and attempts are being made to convert a valuable and interesting field of research into a happy hunting ground for the charlatan and. the manufacturer of proprietary remedies." May I expand this theme a little? The now wellknown analogy which Professor F. G. Hopkins was the first to use, between the building of a wooden hut and the building of our body, comes in very handy here. The hut is built of planks, but the planks alone without nails are useless. The body is built of food materials, but the presence of a small amount of the vitamines tbpv ma.v be.—I am, Sir. vours fa,ithfnllv. (the nails) is indispensable. But who would dream of W. D. HALLIBURTON. building a wooden house with nails only ? Yet this is just the way some people are at present speaking ; so impressed are they with the indispensability of the vitamines that they seem to have forgotten that DUST IN EXPIRED AIR. the essential food principles (proteins, fats, carboTo the Editor of THE LANCET. are necessary also. I have, ', hydrates, salts, &c.) for example, heard of teachers of household science SIR,-The efficacy of the air passages as a trap for the who know that the antiscorbutic vitamine is the one to removal of suspended matter in the air has been ,which heat is most detrimental, advising their pupils to generally assumed to be very high. Tyndall is quoted eat raw cabbage in preference to boiled vegetables. They as stating that expired air was optically pure, and, would no doubt get more vitamine, but what about the generally speaking, the assumption is made that air starch and other constituents of the plant material ? A entering the lungs through the nose is purified from all great desideratum in the further exploration of the suspended matter before it reaches the deeper parts of vitamines is, as Miss Harriette Chick pointed out some the lungs. time ago, the employment of trustworthy quantitative Having some doubts as to the truth of this assumption methods. So far as such methods at present go, they I made a few experiments to ascertain what the facts all show that very minute amounts of the various of the case were.

A similar experiment was then made, but in this appears to be most urgent. Colonel R. J.

509 In order to check these observations I used an means of which a very small jet of air could be blown upon a microscope slip; the jet was about 1/100 in. in diameter and impinged upon the slide at a distance of about 1/16 in. The result of causing such a jet of a,ir to strike the slide is that a certain proportion of the suspended particles strike and adhere to the slide, so that a few cubic centimetres of ordinary London air directed against the slide are sufficient to produce a black spot, quite visible to the naked eye. Using this instrument I repeated the observations, both with expired " tidal " air and with expired "reserve" air, taking all precautions to avoid fallacies in the experiment. In each case from the expired air I obtained a black deposit upon the slide. A sample of ordinary London air projected against the slide was examined microscopically and it was found that the particles were all black and varied in diameter Slides between 1/100,000 and 1/20,000 of an inch. obtained from expired air were also examined and the deposit was found to consist of similar black particles of similar dimensions. It seems certain, therefore, that the suspended matter in the London air is not entirely removed by the action of the respiratory passages, but only about 30 per cent. I am.

PSEUDO-COXALGIA. To the Editor of THE LANCET.
SIR,—I confess to having been rather puzzled about the treatment of pseudo-coxalgia, and I would like to make one or two remarks a propos of Mr. H. A. T. Faairbank's paper (THE LANCET, Jan. 1st), and Sir Henry Gauvain's letter (Feb. 19th). One of my earliest cases of this condition was that of a boy who presented typical signs on both sides-the skiagrams showing characteristic changes in the head of each femur. By my direction he was kept recumbent for several months with weight extension on the legs, and, by way of exercise, he had massage and movements daily. Eventually he recovered with no deformity and perfect movements of the hips in all directions-the skiagrams now showing complete regeneration of the head of the femur on both sides. This is what I understand by "recovery" in pseudocoxalgia. I have since been told by various kind friends and colleagues that my treatment was, to say the least of it, supernuous ; that it is quite unnecessary to keep these cases off their feet, or, indeed, to treat them at all; because they all get well without treatment. Yet, on at least three occasions recently I have been shown skiagrams of " the late results of pseudocoxalgia." These all showed a very ugly deformity of the hip. The head of the femur was mushroomed and grossly deformed, and there were shortening and limitation of movement at the hip-joint; in fact, obvious
disability. So when I read that " the progress of the
alwaystowards recovery " ; that " most writers agree that treatment, or entire absence of treatment, has little, if any, effect on the ultimate result " ; and that " finally there may be some mushrooming of the head of the femur " ; I am tempted to ask what is meant by recovery in this condition. Sir Henry Gauvain points out that these cases do not die, " nor is permanent disability, other than slight shortening and limitation of abduction, to be anticipated." But neither do cases of scoliosis die, yet we should hardly be justified in saying that a case of scoliosis has recovered because it happens to be alive after a few years. During a recent visit to this country Professor Calve "
remarked that treatment (of pseudo-coxalgia) is unnecessary, as they all get well without it, and he added, "Of course, they limp "-as though it was the most natural thing in the world that a child should grow up with a short limb, a limp, and limited movement at the hip-joint. Most orthopaedic surgeons have seen a good many cases of this condition by now, but few of us have the opportunity of seeing any number of them grow up from childhood to adult age. It is very desirable that the end-results of untreated cases should
be recorded. It is said that after a time " the ossification of the epiphypis returns to the normal, until at last the hemispherical shape of the ossific centre is restored." This may be so in some cases, but is it the rule, can it be relied upon in untreated cases ? If not, I know that how should these cases be treated? weight may be taken off the hip-joint by a skilfully and accurately fitted calliper splint or a Hessing's splint. But I know, too, that there is a good deal of make-believe and self-deception in the common use of these splints especially in growing children. I question whether the calliper splint, as ordinarily used, is really eflicient in preventing deformity of the head of the femur, and one would like to see recorded the end-results of cases treated by this method. Meanwhile, it would not be a bad plan to consult the parents of some of these children (especially in private practice) as to whether a little limp, a little shortening, and some limitation of movement at the hip, are really nothing to them. I strongly suspect that if any orthopsedic surgeon had to treat a child of his own for pseudo-coxalgia he would take very good care that no weight came upon that child's hip-joint, and he would be very chary of trusting to the ordinary calliper splint until the head of the femur was well on the way back to normal. I had almost been persuaded that my treatment of these cases was wrong, in fact, superfluous, whfn I saw the skiagrams of late results already mentioned. But I now require a good deal more evidence that treatment is useless before I abandon it. I realise, of course, that in hospital cases we may be driven by lack of accommodation to methods which are perhaps only second best. But we ought to be clear about what is really the best and, therefore, the proper treatment. I am. Sir, vours faithfullv. A. S. BLUNDELL BANKART.
THE BRITISH PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY: AN APPEAL TO MEDICAL MEN. To the Editor of THE LANCET. SIR,-We, the undersigned old-established British houses, earnestly appeal to medical men of the British to support British industry to the utmost of their power. This appeal has no political foundation. We wish simply to place before your readers a few facts for their most careful consideration :(1) In all fairness it should be realised that international
is not on a reciprocal basis, that is to say, foreign chemicals and pharmaceutical preparations are admitted into this country, practically speaking, duty free, whilst goods exported from this country to countries abroad are subject to an exceedingly high ad valorem duty. One vast country we have in mind directly prohibits the import of pharmaceutical preparations of other countries, while other immense States do so indirectly by means of the high duty already referred to. (2) It should be remembered that, although much has been done during the war and since in the direction of promulgating British chemical industry, a great amount of work has yet to be done to consolidate the fine chemical and allied industries at home, and an obvious point is that the factories in Germany are for the most part absolutely intact and she retains secrets which are the outcome of laborious,
painstaking investigation. (3) We desire to respectfully impress on your readers that we do not advertise to the public, nor "prescribe," nor in any way trespass on the rightful province of the medical practitioner; on the contrary, we rely on the position that the chemist, so far as the medical use of chemicals is concerned, is the handmaid of the medical man, and we might add, rather bluntly, we do not recommend foreign medical men and health resorts; why should the medical man recommend foreign pharmaceutical preparations?P

Ivan Toney has issued a statement through the Peterborough United club website in relation to a song sung by supporters about him.
The chant by fans on matchdays could be heard again at the Posh's home match against Coventry City. The lyrics to it is "Ivan Toney, Ivan Toney, He hates the Cobblers, He hates the Cambridge, his cock is fucking massive!"
STATEMENT | Striker @ivantoney24 has today (Tuesday) issued a statement. https://t.co/xpcv7ek1xR#AUnitedCity #pufc
— Peterborough United (@theposhofficial) October 29, 2019
Ivan Toney wrote: "I want to thank the supporters for the way they have backed me since I arrived at the football club. It is great to feel loved by the fans. Whilst the song is not offensive to me, it would be great to hear a new family version of the song so all of the young supporters in the stadium can join in too."
@jamesb17_ on LondonRoad.Net wrote after the game under the headline 'We Need To Talk About THAT Ivan Toney Song': "Water is wet. The sky is blue. Ivan Toney is really really good at football. These are all obvious statements. Blatantly, Posh fans are keen to pay tribute to the 23 year old striker, and what better way than with a terrace chant? An early incarnation was set to the tune of Rotterdam by The Beautiful South, and told all and sundry of Toney's ability to score from 20 yards or 30 yards, anywhere he went. It didn't quite scan, it wasn't great, but there we have it. However, this season saw a new chant for Toney, and much like the time we replaced Mark Wright with Steve Bleasdale, we took something crap and swapped it for something much much worse…
"Regrettably, I'm going to have to write out what the new hit, to the tune of folk song La Bamba, popularised by Californian band Los Lobos is: Ivan Toney, Ivan Toney, He hates The Cobblers, He hates The Cambridge…
"All pretty standard and harmless stuff so far. And then, the final line: His cock is fucking massive!
"*SIGHHHHHH* It's offensive on a number of levels, and I'll put forward why that's the case here, and the best thing that the entire fanbase can do is stop singing it with immediate effect.
"Firstly, just listen to what you're singing, folks: "His cock is fucking massive". Why are you singing about a penis in the first place, massive or otherwise? It's weird. If I was a betting man, I'd say the type of people that think this song is not just inoffensive, but actually appropriate to sing will be exactly the type of individuals who think 'poofter' and 'bender' are acceptable terms, and are so certain of their heterosexuality that they avoid eye contact with other men for fear of sending mixed messages; the irony isn't lost.
"Anyway, back to penises. Ivan Toney's family and friends are frequent visitors to The Weston Homes Stadium. Do you think they want to hear about his genitals? Toney's partner gave birth earlier this year. I hope and pray that Toney is still a Posh player when his baby is old enough to watch and understand football, but I also hope and pray that they don't have to listen to songs like this about their dad. It's just unpleasant, and I'd hazard most people wouldn't want their children subjected to similar words that Toney Jr may hear.
"But why is it sung? Of course, it's because Ivan Toney is black. There's an episode of The Office where David Brent, a man whose character is built on a foundation of being out of touch, gets himself tied in knots over what he felt was a harmless joke, where the punchline was 'Is it a black man's cock?'. As Ricky Gervais' character has it explained to him in very simple terms in a sitcom that's knocking on 20 years old, his joke played on the stereotype that all black men have large penises; Brent is confused, claiming that this prejudice is actually a compliment, underlining his complete misunderstanding of the issue and mirroring some of the defences some may have of the Toney chant.
"The stereotype acts as a dehumanisation of black men. They're beast like. An animal with a huge penis; perhaps a workhorse, carrying out manual labour that a slave would have been forced to do in centuries gone by. Now I'm under no illusions; I don't think everyone singing the song is making a conscious effort to be racist. They don't leave the London Road End and head straight for an EDL march, or put white cloaks on and burn crosses on Bridge Street. It's thoughtless, and at first reading may not be overly offensive. But say the chant ended with something about Toney being an absent father, or a drug dealer, it would obviously be seem as far more offensive by the wider public. Those two are stereotypes of black people, and so is having a large appendage. Do you see the issue?
"'But but but' some Posh fans have said, 'if he was offended, Toney would say something himself'. Firstly, we don't know that. Perhaps Toney is a shrinking violet publicly, and doesn't want to be seen calling out his own fans? But let's assume he isn't. Toney may have heard the chant, shrugged his shoulders and gone 'meh'. Which is fine; if he isn't offended, I'm glad. However, something not offending someone and that thing not being offensive aren't the same thing. If I called someone a massive twat, but they just so happened to have an incredibly thick skin and not care, does that mean 'massive twat' is no longer offensive? Of course not. To further reference The Office, "Why should only black people be offended by racism?".
"There are further defences: "Ah, but if we sang the same about a white player, it wouldn't be racist!" Well yeah, but you wouldn't. There are no songs (that I'm aware of) about the size of a white footballer's penis. And even if they are, the reason for them would not be based on a racial stereotype, which is the underlying issue here. Quite simply, if Ivan Toney was caucasian, nobody would sing a song with reference to his 'massive cock'. It's offensive. It's no coincidence that a quick google throws up a condemnation by anti-racism organisation Kick It Out of Everton fans for a similar chant celebrating (black) central defender Yery Mina. Only last week, the police identified a man from the other side of Stanley Park who unveiled a banner depicting (black) Liverpool player Divock Origi. The Reds supported this intervention. Two years ago, a chant by Manchester United fans was publicly criticised by their (black) striker Romelu Lukaku, as it made reference to a 24 inch penis. Do you see a theme here?
"I'm fortunate. I'm not a member of a marginalised group. I've never experienced any discrimination. The extent of prejudice against me is people feeling sorry for me for being a Posh fan. I don't have the experience of racism, the epistemic privilege, to speak with any authority on racism. But I can recognise it when I see it. It may not be on the same level as the scenes in Sofia earlier this month, where monkey chants almost led to the abandonment of England's match against Bulgaria. It's not as disgusting as that infamous photo of John Barnes being pelted by a banana. But it's a song that's rooted in a racial stereotype. We can't pick and choose which of them are bad; they're racist. A Home Office report recently told of reports of hate crime in England and Wales doubling since 2014; there is clearly an issue with discrimination in our society as a whole. Obviously, that's something that a group of fenland football fans can't tackle alone; but we can at least NOT perpetuate racist stereotypes that threaten to normalise racism in the wider world.
"I'm going to make no apologies for sounding like a liberal, Guardianista snowflake here. Like I said, I don't think the people who sing this shit chant are being wilfully racist. But if you've read this, and yet still maintain that it's fine for this to be sung, it'll raise questions, I won't lie."
After reading the player's statement on that chant sung about him on matchdays, fans took to express their surprised and frustrated reaction aimed at the 'snowflakes' – see those tweets on the next page.

Shelter In place support group of one series
During the duration of Shelter in place in Minnesota, I received a Forecast Public Art Mini-Grant for Hope to be able to connect with people every day through poetry. People signed up for a session and I talked with them over the phone about a person in their lives they are missing or loving. After the conversation, I put the phone on speaker so they could hear the typewritter work while they reflected on the person. When the poem was finished, I read it to them outloud, we often cried, and then I put the poem in the mail to the person that inspired it.
See some examples of the poems here:

Fancashtic Slot from Amaya
Most slots fit neatly into the 3 reel slot or 5 reel video slot categories. Fancashtic from Amaya is a hybrid game which has elements of both types – and is played on a 4 by 4 grid. All the action is on one screen, including the pay table and bonus games. At the same time there are multiple win-lines, which go from top to bottom as well as from left to right.
Once you start to play this game it all fits quickly into place. With a 12500 coin top prize, you'll find that you could walk away from this game with a big pile of cash too!
Sorry! No Demo Game Available
How to Win on Fancashtic
While this slot is loading, you'll have the opportunity to decide on your coin size. Once you see the game, the main choice is how many coins to bet per line. I have assumed that you pick the maximum 5 for all of the prizes below. The 10 win-lines (which go left to right, top to bottom and over the 2 diagonals) are fixed for this game.
The biggest prize comes from landing 4 of the piles of banknotes. This is worth 12500 coins (based on 5 coins per line), with 2500 for just 3. Most of the symbols only have prizes for 4 or 3 of a kind, with the exception of the cherries. Next in the prize list comes the cash in a money clip, worth 1000 coins for 5. The diamonds (3750), rings (3125) and piles of money (2500 for 5) come next.
Sevens have two different ways of triggering wins. First, you will get a prize for lining up 3 or 4 of a kind on the win-lines. These start at 1875 for the golden ones, going down to 125 for any 4 mixed. At the same time, 7's also pay out a scatter prize based on how many are in view all together. This starts at 10 coins for 5, and goes all the way up to 12500 coins for 12 and up.
Cherries are the final regular symbol, you'll get 150 coins for 4, 30 for 3, 20 for 1 and 10 coins for just one.
Fancashtic Slot Bonus Feature
There is a progressive bonus feature available on Fancashtic, which is visible the entire time to the right of the reels. There are two stars with 'cash 1' and 'cash 2' written in them, and 9 numbers above each. At the top of the line of numbers is a tray with money on it, and an amount in coins.
As you play you will see special symbols with either cash 1 or cash 2 written on them. Each time you hit one, a number changes color and you move up towards the bonus. As you hit the 10th of either type you scoop whatever amount is at the top.

Design and Setup of Fancashtic
With so much information on a single screen, this slot does look crowded when you first see it. This is enhanced by the flashing pay table (which alternates between payouts for 3 and 4 symbols by constantly flashing)and the light moving through the logo at the top of the reels.
Graphics are a little blocky and retro, though this might have been a design choice based on the overall game play and feel of the slot. There are no animations on the symbols when you win, just more flashing (this time with lines repeatedly showing each win).
An extra feature is that you can switch the way the symbols land. The default is reels, where they spin just like any slot. The alternate is 'random'. This makes each of the symbols spin independently and come to a stop in a random order. For me this felt too crazy, and I quickly reverted back to the standard spins.
The unusual win-line setup is very easy to follow, and it only took me a few spins before this felt natural.
Overall Experience
It is hard to find a good slot which uses a non-standard setup, and I felt that Fancashtic did a great job of this. While the feel and game play is a little dated, it did manage to capture the essence of a solid slot game – and be different enough to keep the player engaged. The cash bonus ladders is a nice touch, and the chance of a big 12500 coin win is always there.

They called for international and regional cooperation to protect environment, prevent Orumiyeh Lake from drying up and help reduce dust problems which deteriorated the breathing standard of inhabitants of several provinces of Iran neighboring Iraq.
The Iranian official said that environmental issues should not be seen as a major concern for the regional governments, rather they need to be paid international attention as like as global warming and greenhouse gases.
She called on the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the regional countries to help protect and manage ponds, bordering waters and reduce dust spread in the atmosphere.
The Iranian vice-president also stressed the need to save the ponds and Iranian lakes of Orumiyeh and Hamoon from drying up and the Asian leopard from extinction.
The UN envoy to Tehran, for his part, said that remarks made by Iranian President Hassan Rohani at the United Nations over environmental problems facing Orumiyeh Lake were welcomed by civil organizations and representatives from different countries present at the event.
Lewis expressed hope that the environmental problems facing Iran, the Middle East region and the entire world would be resolved as soon as possible.
Tehran, Oct 8, IRNA – Vice-President and head of Iran Department of Environment Masoumeh Ebtekar and UN Resident Coordinator in Iran Gary Lewis on Tuesday held talks on degradation of the Caspian Sea environment.

Here we provide Panoramic View Report 2019, for life science and clinical research field. This report guides you to show the latest development of science and technology related to biological and medical science, ranging from basic to applied. The report mainly covers the recent topics in Japan, with comprehensive comparison to worldwide trends.
The topics and research area argued in this report are carefully chosen following our criteria: i) basic research topics which could contribute for applied biological/medical research in the future.
ii) transformative technological developments that are effective in wide range of science. Over all, research topics which could be applied by any means in the society are listed as much as possible.
As we identified that development in science/technology and the society activity are mutually influencing each other, we have provided the analysis on the influence from the society to scientific development in chapter one. This includes the overview of the research strategies and the dramatic changes in research system/facility observed in developed countries, mainly in the US and in Europe.
The detailed descriptions of recent development in science/technology in each topic are illustrated in chapter two; in total 35 topics are categorised into 5 sections, reflecting the direction of their application.
As argued in chapter one, findings of basic research contribute for the development and improvement of social foundations, such as health care, food security, and environmental issues. Outcomes of basic research provide precursors of new technologies, and such crude new technologies are applied in a small scale as test cases followed by bigger social implementation. The consequences and effectiveness are examined in the society and such assessment facilitates to identify the problems to be solved and to set new hypothesis to be examined in future basic research activities. Such iterative structure can be observed in the process of the application of the outcomes of basic research activities.
The worldwide trends of rise in precision medicine and bio-economy are the good examples of the research fields which have such iterative structure. Resent quick development of ICT related technologies has enabled to collect various types of big data from society, which in turn could provide clues of further research targets: the iterative nature of the relationship between basic research, applied science, and the implementation in society has to be recognised with further importance.
In such an era, cultivating science and technology itself as a culture of society and people, that is, continue to create diverse and creative cutting edge "knowledge" assets, and with society and people It is necessary to form a culture that develops science as a society while mutually giving feedback through dialogue. Naturally, this is not a problem solved only by universities etc., but policy makers, industry and scientific circles must cooperate and share in order to build a recycling-type ecosystem.
Rapid advances in ICT technology, including measurement technology, AI and machine learning, are changing the paradigm of research in the field and methods. The trend of automation and scale-up is expected to continue.
In the previous 2017 edition, in addition to the "hypothesis verification type" approach, the understanding of life phenomena has progressed by a new "data-driven" approach that discovers a rule from a large amount of life information. It is summarised that "prediction" will be a big direction.
In this 2019 edition, as its development system, researchers or research communities can now widely view the circulation structure of research and development and the spatiotemporal hierarchy of life as a research object and as a result of shortening of the technological progress cycle, we would like to mention that high throughput and high cost per research unit, that is," big science" is rapidly advancing.
As a stream of science, many genes and proteins of living organisms have been identified so far, but their interaction and spatiotemporal behaviour (dynamics) in living system can hardly be described. In the future, it is the natural flow that research is going on in correlation, dynamics, and prediction rather than the discovery of specific factors.
The other is, as typified by gene therapy, in addition to conventional physicochemical measurements, the concept of "society measurement" to observe and analyse various situations and fluctuations of society from a large amount of data is also needed.
Looking at the world's leading research institutes, two major direction were observed. One is that direction to dig and deeper into basic science with rich public funding such as the US Janelia Research Campus, UK MRC's Molecular Biology Laboratory and Max Planck Institute in Germany. The other is that based on large-scale "Open Science, Collaboration (Biology + Medicine + Engineering + Informatics, Life Science + Medical Science + Hospital, Industry + Science, International)" system, with a direction to advance research in one stop from translation to translation, such as US Broad Institute, UK Francis Click Institute, and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).
Common to all cases is that, in Europe and the United States, core facilities and facility staff (technicians) are at the core as the research system for promoting cutting-edge emerging fusion research, open science, and collaborative research. For example, in Europe, multi-tiered infrastructure platform strategies are being developed for large-scale as well as small- and medium-sized devices, at research institute level, national level and European level. Therefore, the research support system (administration, bridging, human resources such as equipment management and development) culture has been nicely organised.
Academia in Japan is becoming decentralized and sectored, and it has become an environment and structure where research such as linking the spatiotemporal hierarchy of life through the cyclical structure of such research and development is difficult. In addition, the ecosystem has not been successfully constructed as to who is in charge of deep basic research and who is in charge of large-scale basic to applied research. The introduction of next-generation sequencing and cryo-electron microscopy is lagging behind in the world.
Looking at trends in publication in the field of life/clinical science, Japan also has a relatively low growth rate compared to other countries in the past 10 years, becoming in behind of Germany and the UK. In particular, looking at publications in the field of omics and informatics, which are emerging inter-disciplinal fields, it is clear that we cannot keep up with the world.
It is necessary in Japan to establish a research platform that can promote research in integrated data and information and establish a research ecosystem platform by networking. Policy makers and research communities should plan research initiatives/projects with aware of the following points.
In the following, based on the trends of the world and Japan (current situation and issues), we would like to examine the directionality of research that Japan should tackle. First, regarding trends in the world, the major trends of policy in each country in the past five years are organized as follows.
<Health and medical fields>
<Food and agriculture, Bio-based material production fields>
There are many common research themes that are major investment targets worldwide.
Research and development involving society and the public, as represented by individualization and stratification medicine and the bioeconomy, has become a major trend.
In addition, we have identified following six trends as the major trends in recent advancement in science and technology observed in Japan:
Next, we have found out following Japan's strength comparing to worldwide research trends, based on the international benchmarks appeared in Chapter 2:
In basic research area," structural analysis"," extracellular particles"," immune science", "science related to circadian rhythm", "brain neuroscience", "optical imaging", "nuclear magnetic imaging", "plant science", "livestock science", "Polymer drugs", "stem cells and regenerative medicine", "organoid", "lifestyle related diseases", and "mental and neurological diseases".
In applied science," extracellular particles"," fisheries, functional foods"," polymer drugs", "stem cells and regenerative medicine", and" psychiatric disorders".
On the other hand, Japan is not in the front line in the areas of "gene therapy and cell therapy", and the area of "precision medicine for cancer treatment based on genomic information".
Based on the analysis on global R&D trends, global policies, Japan's past policies, Japan's strengths, and weaknesses, we would propose following nine themes which have to receive public investment.
<Health and medical fields>
Global outlook: Personalized medicine
<Food and agriculture, Bio-based material production fields>
Global outlook: bioeconomy
<Science frontier fields>
Global outlook: Bridging Spatio-temporal Hierarchy in Multidimensional Life Systemse
It can be said that in common with these, research on data and information integration is required. In order to do so, it is necessary for researchers of mathematics and information to lead and create a platform for aggregating and integrating data and information from each researcher and to build a system for modelling.
In addition, under the recognition that ELSI (Ethical, Legal and Social Issues) is a codriver for innovation, it is essential for program projects that communication with society and the public is required to involve social scientists and legal scholars, etc. It is required that science be rooted in the culture of the country.
