em ·brace /em-breys/ verb – to take or receive gladly or eagerly; accept willingly
Growing up, my parents were skilled with the use of expressions "" both cliché and original. When I wanted to get my ears pierced, my mom said the last thing I needed was another hole in my head. And when the interests of my brothers and sisters and I would flit from the drums to basketball to Atari to the guitar and on and on, we were, of course, jacks of all trades, masters of none.
But did you know, that originally that expression was exclusively positive? To be a jack of all trades was actually a good thing "" someone who had accumulated a lot of knowledge and skill in many areas of study.
While vacationing in Maine, I learned that the small town of Bar Harbor is a bit like a jack of all trades. It has embraced everything that the state of Maine has to offer. Maine is known for lobster. And blueberries. And moose. And Acadia. Outdoor adventure. Mountains and coast. And more.
All these identities are reflected in Bar Harbor. They have not focused fiercely or tried to do one thing right "" they focus on doing it all. Is that ambitious, yes! But that seems to be the way they like it.
Do you have lobster? YES! Do you have blueberries? YES! Do you have moose? YES! Do you have Acadia? YES! Plus luxury hotels and B&Bs. Water craft of all types. Bike trails, walking trails, hiking trails. Fine dining and funky cafes. The list goes on.
The great state of Pennsylvania is equally diverse and magnificent in its offerings as our northeastern neighbor. If you choose to be a jack of all trades, what else can your community embrace?

Earlier this year our Animal Welfare Officers found and removed 2 young dogs, Sheba and Nugget (pictured above), who were being used as breeding machines. Their owner was selling the puppies to pet shops as a money-making scheme. We also removed Sally, a 3 month old puppy that was the last of a litter that was being sold off.
Nugget (left) and Sheba (right) when they first arrived at The Mayhew
All 3 dogs were forced to live in poor conditions: they lived outside in all weathers with only very basic shelter provided and received no veterinary care. Pregnant dogs should be fed 5 times a day and once the litter is born they require regular meals and nutrition while nursing their young. In reality, Sheba, Nugget and little Sally had to compete with other dogs to get their food. Sheba had already given birth to two litters in her short life and if we hadn't stepped in Sheba and Nugget would have been used to breed over and over again, and perhaps even Sally as well.
Sally with AJ, our Animal Welfare Officer
As soon as the dogs arrived at The Mayhew, the vet team checked each of them thoroughly and arranged for them to be vaccinated and neutered. Sheba was in reasonably good health but, worryingly, they discovered lumps on Nugget's mammary glands. The vets removed one of the lumps and took samples so they could investigate further and on examination found the masses were made up of the abnormal growth of mammary tissue cells. This condition is driven by sex hormones in unneutered dogs and, if left untreated, would eventually have developed into cancer. Luckily for Nugget, the remaining lump resolved on its own and once the vet team had neutered her, the amount of those hormones in her system was lowered and she will be unlikely to develop another mass in the future.
Nugget looking much healthier and happier
Little Sally had sticky eyes, a chesty cough and generally looked quite poorly when she was collected. Luckily, she didn't have a virus and her symptoms were most likely caused simply from living outside in such basic conditions. Once she was in our care and being looked after properly she rapidly got better.
Sally getting a cuddle from Maria, our Head of Kennels
Sheba, Nugget and Sally had never had the luxury of a loving family environment and the happy, carefree life a dog should have. When we found them they were scared of humans and destined for a life of misery, mistreatment, hunger and basic conditions. Our Animal Welfare Officers brought them to The Mayhew where we showed them a different side of life – the one they each deserve – and we helped them build up their courage and confidence before looking for their new forever homes. All 3 dogs are now happily rehomed with loving families and are enjoying life.
Sheba's confidence quickly grew while at The Mayhew and she loved her daily walk to the park
The Mayhew is completely against the indiscriminate trade in puppies and other young animals on the internet and via other media channels, as well as puppy mills and farms of all types. We believe much tighter regulation of breeders and the trade in animals is needed.
Such breeders have little or no concern for the welfare of the dogs or puppies and no regard for who buys them. Puppies which end up for sale in pet shops and on the internet are frequently passed around, given up or abandoned, thereby increasing the already huge pressure on animal welfare organisations and shelters. They can also be subject to abuse and neglect or used as breeding machines to produce litter after litter for profit. Puppies from such farms generally suffer with poor health and welfare which can lead to a range of underlying medical conditions and behavioural issues. The Mayhew promotes the adoption of animals from reputable shelters and animal welfare organisations, full of animals desperate for a loving home.

Dombrowski still upset about Harbor issue
Ricky Dombrowski says he's okay with the results of Tuesday's election. What he's not okay with is Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann's claim that Gulfport's harbors are state property, based on a 1989 tidelands law. And he's vowing to continue that fight.
"Our point is, we're trying to protect our harbors in the city of Gulfport and we're going to continue to try to protect that harbor," Dombrowski told WLOX News.
"We're going to go before the legislature down the road, talk to them about clarifying their law and saying that the tidelands law is not overriding the 1935 law. And we do have a lawsuit filed and we're going to continue to pursue that and keep what's rightly the coast's and that's our harbor."
Hosemann said he believes Gulfport should run the harbor, and wants to work with city council to do what's best for tax payers in Gulfport and throughout the state.

Background: Although neoplastic spinal cord injuries (NSCIs) constitute ∼25% of all non-traumatic spinal cord lesions, patients with such pathologies are seldom, if ever, admitted to specialized centers; further, their rehabilitation typically is short because of the perception that rehabilitation prolongs hospital stays unnecessarily and is reserved only for patients with very good prognoses. Study design: This study is a retrospective analysis. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the neurological and functional outcomes of patients with NSCIs compared with those of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). Methods: We evaluated 208 patients with TSCIs and 63 with NSCIs; using a matching cohorts procedure, 43 comparable couples were selected from each group. The measures used to assess these patients were the American Spinal Injury Association standards, the Barthel Index (BI), the Rivermead Mobility Index and the Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury. Results: In the general population, NSCI patients are older and have longer lesion-to-admission times and more incomplete lesions than TSCI patients. Therefore, the functional status at admission and outcomes differed between the groups. In the matching cohorts, TSCI patients had lower BI scores at admission than NSCI subjects. At discharge, the two groups had comparable functional outcomes. Neurological status was similar at admission and at discharge. Conclusions: Although they had slightly disparate functional levels at admission, NSCI and TSCI patients had the same outcomes at discharge. Our data suggest that in a selected cohort of NSCI patients, rehabilitation is as successful as that in TSCI subjects and allows most patients to be discharged instead of being institutionalized.

Just when you thought Covid-authoritarianism (and authoritarianism is actually putting it mildly), couldn't get any worse, it just did.
This week we've seen a number of politicians and high-profile media figures promote the idea of mandatory vaccine passports. And not just for international travel. On Sunday, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who, I kid yet not, once wrote a book entitled 'The Assault on Liberty', refused to rule out vaccine passports to allow entry to supermarkets and pubs. 'It is under consideration' he said.
While most normal people reacted with disgust to the suggestion that we should need to prove that we've been vaccinated for Covid in order to buy half a dozen eggs and a pint of milk in the local Tesco's, Good Morning Britain's motor-mouth presenter Piers 'For Fears' Morgan who has played a massive part in stoking Covid hysteria, couldn't curb his enthusiasm for the idea.
That's right. Morgan wants those who either don't wish to have a vaccine (their democratic right), or who cannot for medical reasons, to be barred from all public places. And he calls both groups 'covid-denying anti-vaxxer loonies'. Hate speech? It surely must come close.
Morgan's ITV colleague Robert Peston was also banging the drum for vaccine apartheid on his television show on Wednesday.
On his programme Peston interviewed Tory backbencher MP Steve Baker and asked him: "So are you saying that you shouldn't have to prove that you've had a vaccine?"
Baker answered: "Within the UK, to go to the pub, the theatre… No". To which Peston uttered the words "Why not?" in such a way as if Baker's opposition to vaccine passports for the pub and theatre was something completely beyond the pale.
Baker's response also triggered Piers for Fears.
Got it? Those who don't want- or can't have- a Coronavirus vaccine are a 'menace'. Isn't this sort of language- calling certain groups 'a menace', how Nazi Germany started? 'Anti-vaxxers' without ever being defined, are now designated Public Enemy Number One. The new witches to be witch-hunted by once objective current affairs programmes like the BBC's Panorama.
But it gets worse. In his Daily Mail column on Friday Richard Littlejohn went one stage further.
He actually out-Morganed Piers Morgan. Supporting the idea of 'No Jab, No Job', put forward by Pimlico Plumbers, he wrote: "If some people don't like the idea of getting the jab, I wouldn't force them. But maybe refusniks should have to wear a bell round their necks and sport a sandwich board declaring themselves "Unclean"".
Just how appalling is that? It's the second year of the second decade of the 21st century and we have a national newspaper columnist suggesting the unvaccinated need to be treated like lepers.
If people being forced to walk the streets with bells round their necks like mountain cows in Switzerland - and sporting sandwich boards which declare themselves 'Unclean' sounds familiar, then think back to what happened in a certain country in Europe in the 1930s. That didn't end well, and neither will this.
Egged on by certain politicians and media figures, Britain is sleep-walking towards fascism, that's if we're not there already. All decent people- who value our age-old freedoms- must make a stand against what is going on, before it is too late.
The "owning" of Littlejohn in the comments section below his utterly vile piece gives us cause for optimism that people are finally saying "Enough is Enough" to all this bullying.
In racing the big meetings on Saturday take place at Ascot and Haydock. The Ascot Chase at 3.35 looks a great opportunity for Cyrname to get back to winning ways. Paul Nicholl's 172-rated chaser, who wears cheekpieces for the first time, disappointed once again in the King George at Kempton and fell heavily in this race twelve months ago but otherwise has a great record over course and distance.
Earlier, in the 3m handicap chase at 2.25 the veteran soft/heavy ground specialist Regal Encore, third in the race twelve months ago, can make the frame again at odds of around 9-1.
At Haydock, the main feature is the 3m4f Grand National trial at 2.40. Both Achille and The Two Amigos ran great races in defeat in the Totesport Classic and the Welsh Grand National respectively on their last outings and are two for the shortlist.
The Ferry Master, who has won his last two starts may give us a pay-out in the 1.30, while old boy Sykes is worth an each-way interest at around 28-1 in the 3.50. Nicky Martin's veteran won this race two years ago and was fourth in 2020, when he had to swerve a faller at the last. On Sunday, there's a great rescheduled card at Newbury. The Betfair Hurdle is ultra-competitive, but For Pleasure, who I was very impressed with when winning at Stratford in September, is still going the right way and may represent some each-way value at 20-1.
Were you on the Chelsea 2 Newcastle 0 correct scoreline last Monday? Well, you would have been had you read my Premiership scoreline predictions.
The draw result between Brighton and Villa was also called correctly, as was Man City's win over Spurs (ok, that wasn't that hard to predict!), West Ham's win to nil over Sheffield Utd and Arsenal's two-goal winning margin over Leeds. Let's now take a look at this weekend's fixtures and see if we can keep up our good form. The most eye-catching fixture is undoubtedly the Merseyside Derby. Both Liverpool and Everton go into this on the back of league defeats: Everton have lost their last two, Liverpool their last three, but the key stat could be that The Toffees have won their last four on the road and haven't been beaten away from Goodison since 1st November.
Southampton who have lost their last six in the league, entertain resurgent Chelsea, who have won three in a row, while Fulham host Sheffield Utd in a real battle of the basement.
Here are my scoreline predictions:

So i had been looking for ideas all over on how put subs in the back without a box sitting on the back seat. I didn't want to go with shallow mounts or with 8 inchers, or modify my seat area at all. I still wanted to be able to put both my children's car seats there but didn't necessarily require adults to sit back there. So here it is...The box will house two kicker solobaric L7 10's. The box will be built using an aero port design and tuned to right at 34 hertz. approx 1.38 cuft of volume per side. I will also be adding plexi and LED accent lighting.

*ABSOLUTE CLASSIC MASTERPIECE KLAXON* Originally released back in 2008 in a cruelly pitiful edition of 300, Mark Fell and Mat Steel's micro-detailed hyrbidised journey through minimal techno, glitch, footwork and deep house returns to wax feeling as cutting edge as ever. And cut is most certainly what it does. For a collection so sleek and minimal, there's an astonishing amount of ground covered and innovation explored, almost iconoclastic in its Robocop-to-a-knife-fight assault on convention. And the pair do it with a laser eye - precision has rarely sounded so wide open and unpredictable. Beatrice Dillon, Rian Treanor et al owe debts to this astonishing style of future FWD electronic music. Hard to process that 4,5,6 is now hitting its teenage years - there's droids being assembled tomorrow less advanced. Crisp, razor-sharp and crucially, always swerving away from 'tasteful' (the worst sin of all) conventions to move in its own alluring post-humanist shapes.

COVID-19 vaccine mandates sans religious exemptions spark court fights in New York, Maine
(Worthy News) – Health care workers in New York are the latest group to sue over a state law mandating COVID-19 vaccinations without allowing individuals to claim a religious exemption.
Registered nurses joined by the nonprofit group We the Patriots USA filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday against New York Democratic Gov. Kathleen Hochul, arguing that they oppose taking a vaccine linked to fetal stem cells due to their Christian religious beliefs.
According to the lawsuit, the three COVID-19 vaccines offered in the U.S. all rely "on [the] use of a fetal cell line harvested from aborted fetuses acquired in the 1970s and 1980s." [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]

Volusia Council on Aging needs help feeding hundreds of older adults
With fewer volunteers available to deliver meals to older adults during the raging coronavirus pandemic, the Council on Aging of Volusia County has turned to local businesses and community organizations for help.
The Council on Aging has relaunched its "Adopt-a-Route" program and has asked businesses and organizations to commit at least four employees or members to deliver meals for a period of at least six months, according to a news release. As of Tuesday morning, no one has yet to sign up for the program.
For one regular volunteer who delivers meals three times a week, his Daytona Beach route has given him the chance to chat with other older adults who might feel isolated at home.
"I enjoy doing it," said Nick Brixius, a retired computer engineering professor from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. "These people are glad to see somebody and talk to them. It also gives me the opportunity to get out and do something instead of just sitting at home."
The News-Journal is providing this important health and community recovery information for free. Help support our journalism. SUBSCRIBE HERE.
The need for additional volunteers has become more important amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused a surge in demand for food assistance in recent months.
The number of older adults who receive meals through the Meals on Wheels program has risen from 326 to more than 600. Meanwhile, the number of volunteers who drop off those meals has decreased from 220 to 150.
Sarah Gurtis, president and chief executive officer of the Council on Aging, said many of the volunteers who have yet to resume their meal routes are older adults who are at a higher risk for coronavirus infection. Fear of infection, she added, has made them wary about offering their help again.
Businesses or organizations that take on a route will help ease the stress placed on the Meals on Wheels program in recent months. Gurtis emphasized the fact that the Meals on Wheels program has had to serve a greater number of older adults who are unable to leave their homes to get meals for themselves.
"I think the community really understands that they are the most vulnerable and they are stuck at home," she said. "These meals matter, and someone's got to physically take these meals to them."
Meal routes will be named after businesses or organizations during the time that their employees or members deliver meals, the release said. Partners also will be recognized on the Council on Aging's website and social media platforms, as well as in its quarterly newsletter.
Meal deliveries are scheduled midday on weekdays, and volunteers can choose routes from one to five days each week. Volunteers are provided with hand sanitizer, face masks and gloves, the release said.
Delivery routes are available in Deltona, Orange City, DeLand, Daytona Beach, Holly Hill, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach and Ormond Beach.
All volunteers must undergo screening, background checks and training. Those interested in volunteering are encouraged to call 386-253-4700, ext. 240.

The American M31A1 GMLRS missiles turned out to be immune to the operation of electronic warfare systems due to their special range.
Despite the fact that it was previously assumed that American missiles for the Himars MLRS could be suppressed by the powerful work of electronic warfare, it turned out that this particular type of missile is immune to electronic countermeasures due to the special GPS range. This was probably not intended before.
As it turns out, the missile guidance system uses a modulated rangefinding P(Y) code, which is strictly for use by the US military, US federal agencies, and some allied militaries. In fact, the impact on the means of global positioning is carried out, however, due to the special encoding of information and control of data from satellites, it is not possible to replace the GPS signal.
This is exactly what experts explain the impossibility of jamming American missiles produced by Himars MLRS, in any case, to date, not a single case of successful EW attacks has been recorded. However, analysts note that the Russian military may well try to suppress the electronic components of missiles and systems that launch them.

HOUSTON — After his final throw here on Sunday, Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger ended up on the turf at NRG Stadium, on his hands in knees.
He had the breath knocked out of him following a hit by Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt.
It was a scene that played out over and over again in a 20-6 loss to the Texans. Mettenberger was sacked seven times in the contest, and he was hit a whopping 14 times in all.
"That's just ridiculous, seeing him have to get up from the ground so many times,'' Titans running back Antonio Andrews said, shaking his head. "That really frustrates me."
It was just part of another frustrating day for the Titans, who lost their sixth straight contest.
In Mettenberger's second straight start this season in place of an injured Marcus Mariota, he was harassed all day by Texans defenders. Watt sacked him 2.5 times and hit him a nine times on his own, per the official game book. Texans linebacker Whitney Mercilus sacked Mettenberger 3.5 times, and was credited with four hits.
Mettenberger took some blame for holding the ball took long on some occasions.
"The cliché, the internal clock, you have to have that especially with a pass rush like the Texans have,'' Mettenberger said. "But at the same time you can't dink and dunk, you have to be able to push the ball downfield."
He admitted it's tough to operate with players in his space, and in his face.
"It's a hard game to begin with, that definitely makes it a lot harder,'' he said. "We have to find a way to overcome that and deal with that adversity. We couldn't figure out a way to get it going."
Meanwhile, Titans tackle Taylor Lewan put a good deal of the blame on his shoulders.
"I need to play better,'' said Lewan, who was beaten by Mercilus on several occasions. "I definitely played one of the worst games I have ever played in my entire life, and I need to fix that. The offensive line needs to take responsibility for their actions, and I need to take responsibility for mine.
"We played like (crap today), we need to play better. I need to play better."
Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said he'd need to watch the tape to see where the breakdowns came. But it was clear from the sideline the Titans had issues across the board up front.
It wasn't just Lewan who struggled. At one point, the team pulled rookie right tackle Jeremiah Poutasi and replaced him with Jamon Meredith.
"I think they created some one-on-one matchups, and they won,'' Whisenhunt said. "We tried a bunch of different things to try and counter that, but we lost matchups.
"… They had a good day. They won some one-on-one matchups. We obviously didn't play well enough up front in those situations. You have to give them credit."
Mettenberger completed 22-of-31 passes in the game, with no touchdowns and an interception.
The Titans went 1-of-12 (8 percent) on third down, which kept the Titans from getting into a rhythm on offense.
On the season, Mettenberger is 49-of-74 for 421 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions.
"Offensively, we just haven't operated at the level we need to execute at, myself included,'' Mettenberger said. "There's a few throws I'd like to have back, but at the same time there's a lot of good we can build on, we just have to get over the hump and hopefully guys will see that."

A big, sweet, old woman, Miss Emma has taken care of Jefferson his whole life as his godmother (or as they say in Louisiana, nannan). Before that she was the cook and housekeeper on a plantation until she had saved enough to get by without working in that kitchen.
We don't know much about her life other than that, but what we do see of her is her dedication to Jefferson. Our first glimpse of her is at the trial:
Either I sat behind my aunt and his godmother or I sat beside them. Both are large women, but his godmother is larger. She is of average height, five four, five five, but weighs nearly two hundred pounds. [. . .] She never got up once to get water or go to the bathroom down in the basement. She just sat there staring at the boy's clean-cropped head where he sat at the front table with his lawyer. (1.1)
Miss Emma's physical stature combines with her behavior to give us the impression that she is an unmovable rock. She might not be strong enough to sway the court's decision or to protect Jefferson from his fate, but she is strong enough to stay right where she is and support him. And that, in our humble opinions, is freaking awesome.
In the novel, the sort of unwavering faith that Miss Emma personifies, acts as an important contrast to Grant's flimsy faith in humanity. Miss Emma basically has no good reason to hope for anything—she's old, poor, and is losing her only family member unfairly. Life has dealt Miss Emma a bad card, to be sure. But she remains steadfast, hoping that at least one thing can change before she dies.
Miss Emma is strong, because she is able to keep on keeping on even under the hardest circumstances. She can also be a little bit of a trickster, and she plays sick when she wants Grant to go alone to visit her godson:
Miss Emma [. . .] had on two sweaters, a black one over a green one. She had some kind of rag, possibly a baby's diaper, tied around her head. [. . .] I had the feeling that Miss Emma was not nearly as sick as she was pretending to be. For one thing, I had seen her that morning picking up chips in the yard, and she didn't look sick at all. And now I could smell fried chicken and baked potato, and I knew she could not have done all that if she was dying. (10.12)
So Grant knows that Miss Emma is playing hooky from visiting the jail and that she is perfectly capable of leaving if she was able to do yard work and cook. He just takes it as another irritating thing that she and his aunt do to ruin his life. But we, the readers, can look past the annoyance and try and figure out why Miss Emma does what she does.
Perhaps Grant is right and it is a big conspiracy to get him to the courthouse alone. We know that Miss Emma doesn't stop visiting Jefferson; she just pushes Grant to visit him without her company. So she must be motivated to have the two men visit one on one without her interrupting.
The old nannan is not a very powerful figure, traditionally speaking: she has no money, she is old and weak, she does not have much of a family to protect her, and she really is on her own in the world. However, she can influence events by just being still… she can't physically force Grant to do what she wants, so she has to manipulate the situation. She has to get him into the habit of going and then be still and let him go on his own.
Miss Emma's overall goal is for Jefferson to stand up like a man before he dies, and she truly believes that Grant is the one who can help him do it. That's why she steps out of the picture by playing sick: to give the two men room to grow.
In the novel, Miss Emma really works as a sort of a motor. No, not the vroom-vroom kind: she is more of a quiet but insistent plot motor. She's very much in the right place at the right time, plotwise. She's Grant's aunt's friend, so that's how she influences Grant. She worked for Henri Pichot for years, which gives her the clout to speak to Pichot's brother-in-law, the sheriff.
Even though, like we mentioned above, she isn't the most powerful person in her community, she's clever enough to manipulate people into doing what she wants when it really matters. She may not move the community, but boy oh boy does she move the plot of A Lesson Before Dying.
Another really important aspect of Miss Emma's power is that she's the one who means enough to Jefferson to help him stand up at the end of his life. His last words, "Tell Nannan I walked" (31.54), are dedicated to her, which shows just how important she is to getting this story moving.

Church Electoral Roll – 2021 Revision
The Church Electoral Roll (the Roll) is revised each year by the Parochial Church Council (PCC) in time for the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), being held this year on Sunday 9th May from 11am by Zoom telecommunications. The 2021 revision for additions and other changes started on Sunday 14th March and was completed on Sunday 18th April as previously notified – see Notice.
Following the revision, there are now 214 individuals on the Roll after 28 additions and 3 deletions.
The revised Roll was published on 25th April as a list of names here and on the noticeboard inside the church porch so that it could be checked for accuracy. No other personal data, such as postal or email addresses, may be included in published versions of the Roll.
No errors in the revised Roll were notified before the APCM.
The Roll may be inspected as a list of names on reasonable request to the Electoral Roll Officer (Dr Steve Smith, tel. HC 571872) or a Churchwarden.

I just got my first huel shipment in about 7 months and I noticed that there is less powder in each bag and the serving Sizes are smaller. I wasn't given a new scoop so I have no idea how much powder to use… Anyone have any suggestions for correctly measuring the servings out if you don't have a scale?
Heyo! A full serving of Huel is a heaping ¾ cup or 100 grams, and it contains 400 calories when mixed with about 16oz/500ml water. I'll send some scoops out to you, though!
There is 40 grams less Huel than before due to changes in the formula. There are still 7,000 calories in each bag, but the powder itself is roughly 2.3% more calorie dense.
Since you have the old scoop, you can find out the calories with this:
1 level scoop: old formula - 150 cal, new formula - 153.5 cal
1 rounded scoop: old formula - 166.7 cal, new formula - 170.5 cal
Thanks! Tyler. Most appreciated. I actually don't have any old scoops either or I would try that option. In any case, thanks for the scoops.
For clarification, the old scoop can be used as fairly comparable to the new scoop? I just ordered a new set & didn't include scoops because I assumed them to be the same.
If you use the old scoop and continue using the same amount of scoops as before, you will get about 2% more of everything, so about 10 more calories for a three scoop shake, slightly more of all the vitamins as well, etc. You would also use up the bag 2% faster, etc. Its not much, but if you are strict about numbers, there is a small difference.
So, I'm confused, I have two different scoops. One that is straight (older) and a tapered one we go on the last order. Did some water level measuring and the new tapered one is bigger than the older straight one. Is that correct?
The new scoop is bigger, and the new formula is denser. I'm not sure about the water amount, because the new serving size is bigger. Basically, to keep it simple use the new scoop with the new formula, each scoop is 200 cal as opposed to before when it was about 150 cal.
Hey Sonali. Sending you some scoops now in the meantime, a heaping 3/4 cup is around 100g which is the standard serving size.
Yes–the new scoop is bigger!
This is very useful information. 200 calories and 400 calories aren't enough options. Now I can have a 307 calories option.
I dislike the 2019 scoop because powder often splashes onto my kitchen table when poured into the shaker, due to larger surface area on the 2019 scoop. This rarely happens with the 2018 scoop.
But what's with "level scoop" vs "rounded scoop"? I thought it should always be "level"? I use two scoops for 333 calories, and I'm undereating the whole time?
Our recommended servings are based off of a level scoop, so your meals would have been accurate!
It is supposed to be level, and you need to make sure that you are not packing it into the scoop when you measure it. It is the same as measuring flour. Don't pack it down. Don't press down when you are leveling off the top either because that will pack it down. If you can, do a straight motion, but I can't, so if I have to, I will go toward me and up at the same time to level off the top. I just use a finger, but to be completely exact, you could use a knife, but as long as you're careful, I think a finger is fine. I did the calculations, and I calculated that it would be 17.6 ounces of water, so I just rounded up to 18 ounces. I calculated this both by doing a proportion, and by using their ratio of one part powder to five parts water, by weight. They don't mention the by weight part, so I suppose in the United Kingdom, it is a given that they do ratios by weight and not by volume. So basically, you get to grams of powder that you have, you multiply that by five, and that is the grams of water that you have. This is the one and only time that you can convert from grams 2 fluid ounces and have it work out. If you are using any other substance besides water, you can't convert from grams to fluid ounces so this will not work with milk or something like that. If you were trying to use this ratio with milk, or with something else that is not water, you would have to say, how many fluid ounces is such and such grams of milk, by putting that into an online calculator or looking that up. And you might have to add a little bit more milk on top of the ratio they give because milk is not completely water. One cup of milk is 218 g of water based on what I just looked up, so it is mostly water, so that set might not be necessary, but if you are adding something to it that isn't mostly water, then you might I wanted to look that up, and calculate how much you are going to add based on how much water is actually in that substance. But even that might not work because if this substance has a thickening portion or something like that, the ratio might not work and you'll just have to try it. This ratio was only designed for water, and I personally, just think that it would work for other substances that are mostly water. And again, one more time, you can only convert from grams to fluid ounces when you are dealing with water. A weight outs, how heavy something is, is different then a fluid ounce, how much you measure when you are filling up your shaker. Water is the only substance where a fluid ounce and a weight outs are the same, which is why you can just see how many ounces 500 g is. Like imagine filling up your shaker to the 17 ounce mark with peanut butter for example. That is still 17 fluid ounces of peanut butter, but that is going to weigh a lot more than 17 fluid ounces of water, so you have to remember that a fluid outs is not the same as weight. But the short answer is that it should be about 18 ounces of water. I don't know if they have updated their website or what number they have on there, but if you are going by there ratio, and their ratio hasn't changed with the new formula, then it should be 17.6 ounces, rounding that up to 18. If you really want to, you could probably try to get halfway between the 17 and 18 ounce marks, but figuring that just over 2 teaspoons of water really isn't going to make that much of a difference in consistency, I just go up to 18. Actually, if I am adding yogurt to make it more creamy, I might go up to 20 because if I don't, the yogurt might make it too thick. I only add about a tablespoon. I want it to be more creamy. Not thick like frosting. So if you are adding yogurt, even if it is just a tablespoon, I would recommend that you go up.

British track and field star Tom Bosworth asked his boyfriend, Harry Dineley, to marry him on a beach in Rio de Janiero – and he said yes!
Bosworth, who came out last year, posted a photo of his proposal on Twitter and Dineley followed up with a peek at the engagement ring.
"It is a big decision, but it's not going to change my life. I'm comfortable and have been in a happy relationship for the last four and a half years," Bosworth said when he came out. "This isn't going to shock anybody that knows me. But to speak out about this, as a sportsperson, it is still news."
"In a few years time, anyone [will be able] to do this. Anyone can succeed in sport. And then hopefully it won't be news anymore."
Bosworth holds three British records and is England's top-ranked race walker. He came in sixth during the competition in Rio.
He said YES!!! pic.twitter.com/roXsw7oq8f

CHARLESTON MILITARY HISTORY HIGHLIGHT | Stark Army Hospital
CHARLESTON MILITARY HISTORY HIGHLIGHT | Stark Army Hospital
Stark Army General Hospital (Charleston, SC)
Stark General Hospital was located in North Charleston, SC, on the north bank of the Ashley River and was officially named in honor of Colonel Alexander N. Stark on February 11, 1941. It accommodated 2,400 beds and was ready for patients on May 18, 1941. It specialized in general and orthopedic surgery. As the war progressed it became a fully-functional debarkation hospital for casualties and sick personnel arriving at the Port of Charleston. Stark General Hospital transferred its last patients on 23 October 1945 and was turned over to the Charleston County Board of Control for local use.
The land (266 acres) was acquired by eminent domain from Mrs. Mamie M.G. Pieper and Catherine M.A. Pommer in 1941.
Stark Army Hospital
Stark Army Hospital
The hospital was named after Colonel Alexander Newton Stark (1869-1926). He was commissioned as an assistant surgeon on 12 May 1893. In July 1898 he was ordered to Montauk Point, N. Y., and assigned to the hospital ship Missouri and served on several hospital ships in 1898-99. He was engaged in the transfer of patients in West Indian waters, then was assigned to Military Hospital No. 1 at Havana and later to Camp Columbia. With U.S. entrance into WWI he was ordered to Charleston, SC, as surgeon of the Southeastern Department, serving there until December 1917. He was then ordered to France, where he was assigned to duty as surgeon of the Advanced Section, Service of Supply. When the American First Army was formed in the summer of 1918, he was named its surgeon. Stark had a tremendous task in the evacuation and hospitalization of the casualties of First Army operations, and in the supply of the medical units during the influenza pandemic.
Stark G.H. filled several roles in the Army's WWII hospital system. As a debarkation hospital, it received patients from the hospital ships that brought most of the overseas wounded, ill, and injured back to the U.S. Charleston was one of four east coast ports to handle returning patients. At a debarkation hospital they would be checked and sent to a hospital near their home for definitive care when they were ready for travel. As a general hospital, Stark provided some of that definitive care as well; about ten percent of Stark's beds were for the long-term patients.
The Port of Charleston was designated as the home port for Army hospital ships serving the European and Mediterranean theaters. Though the facilities for shipping medical supplies from Charleston were not complete until after the war's end, the first three hospital ships were assigned to the port on November 1, 1943, the USAHS Acadia, the USAHS Seminole, and USAHS Shamrock. Subsequently, as additional Army hospital ships were placed in service, all were assigned to the Charleston Port of Embarkation. So far as is known no directive was issued designating Charleston as the home port of the Army hospital fleet. In fact, its function as such was long concealed in the press under the familiar World Har I guise of "An East Coast Port."
At the peak of the war, 21 of 26 hospital ships were assigned to the CPOE.
To debark patients from ships and transport them to general hospitals, port commanders normally used personnel and vehicles belonging to installations under their control. For example, the Charleston Port trained enlisted men as litter bearers from its own medical detachment and port and service battalions in training or on duty in the area. It also used its own ambulances, trucks, and passenger cars to carry patients to Stark, which was located nearby. This procedure sufficed when the number of patients received was small.
Later, as the number of hospital ships in service increased, the Charleston Port issued a sixty-one-page manual of instructions for their commanders. As ports gained experience in operations and improved procedures, the time required to unload ships decreased. The Charleston Port cut the debarkation time from five hours (in early 1944) to two hours by the end of 1944 and then to just one hour for a 600-patient hospital ship during 1945.
During the winter of 1944-45 another measure toward simplifying the work of debarkation hospitals was adopted: the installation of addressograph equipment. This equipment let hospitals prepare templates for making rosters and issuing orders, and thus eliminated the necessity of typing each separately. Though seemingly small when considered individually, the significance of such measures can be judged more accurately if the total evacuation load of different hospitals is taken into account. Stark G.H. admitted 44,003 patients in the nine-month period from 1 January 1945 to 30 September 1945, while Halloran G.H. (NY) admitted about 69,500 and Letterman G.H. (San Francisco) about 73,000 during the entire year. There were no computers or internet – everything was done on paper using typewriters. Every time patient changed hands – more paper work.
The first large-scale movement of patients by air in the United States was made in January 1944. At that time three planes, with personnel from the School of Air Evacuation, were sent to Stark G.H. to move patients being debarked from two hospital ships. In a period of ten flying days between 7 and 19 January these planes flew 661 patients in 29 loads to five general hospitals.
Rapidly built of wood, Stark General Hospital was always going to have a limited lifespan. It was 95% torn down and is now an industrial site, although the roads and concrete pads for many of the buildings are still extant. Unfortunately, there is no sign or marker indicating the hospital was ever there. It did great service our wounded soldiers during WWII.

Gaps in wealth between Black and white households expose accumulated inequality and discrimination, as well as differences in power and opportunity that can be traced back to this nation's inception.
$50k FOR EVERY BORROWER
Canceling Student Debt
No other group of Americans is as burdened by student loan debt as Black Americans. Canceling up to $50,000 of student debt for eligible borrowers would further our goal of systemic equality by redressing the inequalities built into our higher education financing system, while substantially increasing wealth for Black and Latinx families.
Accessing Financial Services through Postal Banking
The racial wealth gap persists, in part, because of the widespread lack of access to basic financial services like bill paying, check cashing, and small loans for Black consumers. The result is that they pay an average of $2,880 per year on substandard, alternative financial services such as check-cashing services and pay-day loans. Allowing individuals to access payroll check cashing, domestic money transfers, and bill payment through the U.S. Post Office can address this crisis by linking more Americans to essential financial services at an affordable rate and ensuring more communities, specifically those in Black neighborhoods, have easier access to these services.
Establishing a Permanent Child Tax Credit
More than half of all Black and Latinx children — and 36 percent of all children — live in or near poverty. This is a national tragedy with profound moral and practical costs to the nation. By ensuring an expanded and refundable child tax credit, we can cut child poverty by 40 percent — and lift over 50 percent of Black children out of poverty, according to one study. The child tax credit is a racial justice issue, as well as an economic one.
Internal Alignment with Systemic Equality External Agenda
We are proactively working to align these goals internally, making a commitment to ensure Black people are promoted, elevated, and more prominent across the organization. This includes prioritizing Black-owned and Black-led contractors when hiring vendors and investing in Black-owned financial institutions and businesses.

Since May of this year, Google founder and Alphabet majority shareholder Larry Page and Sergey Brin have sold more than $ 1 billion worth of stock.
According to documents filed by OpenInsider with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, since May of this year, the two have sold Class A and Class C shares worth more than $ 1.07 billion.
Brin's sales totaled more than US $ 610 million, and Page's sales this week (including a financing round) now exceed US $ 462 million. Both founders are selling according to a previously submitted transaction plan.
The last time Brin and Page sold shares was in 2017, when their last plan expired. Since the beginning of this year, the company's stock price has performed well.
Alphabet A stocks have risen by more than 50% so far, outperforming Nasdaq and other technology giants (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft). The company announced strong revenue and earnings for the second quarter of 2021 on Wednesday as it rebounded from the worst impact of the Covid pandemic, which included an annualized growth of 69% in advertising revenue to more than $50 billion in three months.
At the end of 2019, Page resigned as CEO of Alphabet and transferred power to Google CEO Sundar Pichai. At the same time, Sergey Brin resigned as President of Alphabet, and his position was also cancelled.
Page and Brin were the co-founders of Google in 1998. They are still members of the board of directors and have a majority stake in the company, controlling 51% of the voting shares of Alphabet in a special category. The two are one of the richest people in the world.
Although Brin appeared in Google's first retail store in New York this week,
lone Silicon Valley billionaires have kept a low profile since leaving the leadership role. According to Insider reports, it is reported that Page spent a lot of time on a yacht in the Fiji Islands during the pandemic.

A federal investigation at The Lowell Correctional Institution in Florida found that the sexual assault of inmates at the hands of guards and other prison staff has been ongoing and virtually unpunished for years.
According to the investigative report by The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida, aka "The Department," the sexual abuse of female prisoners at the largest women's prison in the United States is perpetrated by staff who threaten inmates with various types of retaliation if they don't comply with their sexual demands.
What's more, the department says that the Florida Department of Corrections has violated inmate's 8th amendment rights which say in part, no "cruel and unusual punishments [will be] inflicted" by not protecting them from sexual abuse.
According to the investigative report, "the FDOC has documented and been aware of a pattern or practice of staff sexual abuse of Lowell prisoners since at least 2006. Despite being on notice of this sexual abuse, FDOC and Lowell failed to take timely action to remedy the systemic problems that have enabled corrections officers and other staff to continue to sexually abuse Lowell prisoners."
The investigative report says sex between inmates and staff has been a normal, ongoing part of life at the prison.
"In interviews with the Department, prisoners spoke of sex between staff and prisoners as a regular event, suggesting a normalization of sexual abuse by staff. Some current and former staff made similar representations," the report said.
Of 161 Sexual Assault Cases Investigated, Only 8 Resulted in the Arrest of a Staff Member
The investigation looked at 161 reported incidents of sexual assault by a staff member on a prisoner spanning from 2015 through 2019. Of those incidents, eight officers were charged and arrested.
Another finding was that more often than not, according to the report, the investigations are not thorough. In many cases, the accused perpetrator is not even interviewed. In other reported incidents, the investigation is eventually "suspended" and then lingers for years, with no outcome. Often the guards keep their jobs regardless of multiple accusations against them, being reprimanded or moved to a "no inmate contact list" rather than losing their jobs. In other situations, they quit during an investigation but remained employed within the FDOC.
But that's a problem, according to the writers of the investigative report.
"By allowing sexual predators to resign quietly or terminating them for ambiguous 'policy' violations, instead of making a finding of sexual misconduct and terminating them for that reason, FDOC fails to deter criminal behavior and sends a message to other officers that punishing sexual misconduct is not a priority," they wrote.
According to the investigators, the accusations include a variety of personal violations against the inmates:
Incidents of staff sexual abuse of prisoners at Lowell are varied and disturbing. Some staff abused prisoners through unwanted and coerced sexual contact, including sexual penetration, and groping. Prisoners were forced or coerced to perform fellatio on or touch the intimate body parts of the staff.
In other instances, staff demanded that prisoners undress in front of them, sometimes in exchange for basic necessities, such as toilet paper. Many prisoners reported that staff watch them while they shower or use the toilet, with no penological justification.
There are a combination of factors that lend themselves to Lowell Prison Staff getting away with sexually assaulting prisoners, but one of the glaring reasons is that the prison is chronically understaffed and there is a lot of turnover, according to the investigative report.
Often several posts are left unguarded because there isn't enough staff, and "because of the high staff turnover rate at Lowell, staff often are young and inexperienced; the trainee eligibility age was recently lowered from 19 to 18," the report says.
The Investigation Found That When Women Report the Abuse or Harassment They Are Punished in Some Way
The 36-page investigative report not only lays out the failures of the prison system to stop the sexual abuse, but it also points out that the road to reporting a sexual assault is fraught with fear of consequences.
Investigators wrote in the report that when women did come forward about sexual abuse, they were handcuffed and taken to administrative confinement and experienced loss of privileges, property and visitors.
"Dozens of women reported that they believed prisoners who report sexual abuse are sent to confinement. This belief was corroborated by staff," the report said. "For example, a sergeant we interviewed stated that prisoners are most definitely placed in handcuffs and taken to confinement after reporting abuse. This same sergeant indicated that prisoners do not get visitation when placed in administrative confinement."
Another issue with reporting abuse is the constructs in which it is to take place, which are unrealistic for timeliness in situations where earlier reporting could result in a more robust investigation.
Investigators cited posters hanging on the prison walls listing how to report sexual abuse. Those include telling any staff member (some of whom are the alleged violators), file a report, which is not handled with any urgency, according to the investigators. Or an inmate can tell a compliance manager if there is one around. Other options have to do with having phone access, and prisoners are limited on the times they can make phone calls.
If Lowell Prison Does Not Protect its Inmates From Sexual Abuse at the Hands of Staff in 49 Days, There Will Likely Be a Lawsuit for the Ongoing Violation of the Inmates Rights
With the myriad issues that have created a climate where women are forced into sex acts with little recourse to change the situation, it is unclear what the prison is going to do to overhaul the broken system the Department's investigation uncovered.
But they are expected to figure it out or get sued.
In a statement from the Florida Department of Corrections, Secretary Mark Inch told Heavy:
FDC has cooperated fully with the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division during their investigation initiated in 2017 and will continue to do so. We appreciate the work of the U.S. Department of Justice and will be sharing the actions our Department has taken to address the serious concerns outlined in their review.
Heavy also asked Lowell C.I's Warden Stephen Rossiter, and Assistant Warden Michael Quimby for a statement regarding the accusations and is still awaiting a reply.
The writers of the investigative report said the Department "has reasonable cause to believe that Lowell violates the constitutional rights of prisoners in its care, resulting in serious harm and the substantial risk of serious harm. Specifically, Lowell fails to protect women prisoners from harm due to sexual abuse by staff."
However, they say they're willing to help by working with the state to "ensure that these violations are remedied."
The report ends with a warning that the state and the prison have 49 days from the day the report came out, December 22, that the "Attorney General may initiate a lawsuit pursuant to CRIPA to correct deficiencies identified in this letter if State officials have not satisfactorily addressed our concerns."
