Pennies for Parkside
Good of Goshen story submitted by Alicia K. Smith
In 2013, Chamberlain Elementary School was the proud recipient of a new playground. Our old playground was pretty beat up and not much fun for the kids. That all changed due to the support and generous donations from community members. Because our students at Chamberlain are so appreciative of the new playground, they want students throughout the district to be able to have as much fun as them at recess.
The Chamberlain PTO recently learned that Parkside Elementary School was approximately $4000 short of their goal for their new playground. Parkside has collected Box Tops for the past several years to put towards their playground fund. They have also collected their own pennies, hosted school wide competitions, received donations from LifePoint Church, Swihart Memorial, and various other contributions from the community. They even had a dunk tank as a fundraiser First Fridays where people could dunk the Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Mayor Stutsman!
Even with all this work, funds are still needed, so the Chamberlain PTO decided to pay it forward –– and we wanted our students to help. Just before Winter Break began, the PTO announced that we would start a "Penny War" that would run January 3, 2017 through January 27, 2017. Pennies count as positive points and silver coins count as negative points. The winner of the penny wars (the class with the most points) will get to take a field trip to Parkside. At Parkside, they will get to have lunch and recess with a class of the same grade and then present the school with a check for their playground.
We came back from winter break on January 3rd to the official start of the penny wars. As I was getting dressed to come to school that day, I could hear my second grader in his room counting pennies from his piggy bank. He was ready to go! I hoped all of the other students shared the same enthusiasm as my son did. In the first week of our penny wars (a 4-day week) our students raised $790.69 –– 345 students collected this much change in just four days!
Chamberlain is an Expeditionary Learning (EL) school, and EL schools challenge students to think critically and take active roles in not just the classroom, but the community as well. At Chamberlain, we practice our Habits of Scholarship in everything we do. One of those habits is compassion. It's through projects like the Penny War that I see our students truly display compassion.
At recess with the third graders the other day, I asked a student if he knew why we were having the penny wars. He said, "We are helping another school raise money for their playground."
Happy to know he knew why we were having a penny war, I inquired as to what his favorite part of the penny war was, "I like that even if we lose, we are still doing something good."
His answer was so simple, yet truly displayed the compassionate hearts of our students.
My son, Jayce, is extremely competitive (no idea where that comes from), so when I told him things weren't looking too hot for his class in the penny wars, I expected a different answer.
His response made me proud, "Mom, I am okay losing the penny war as long as the kids at the other school get their playground."
His response may have also encouraged me to buy $20 more worth of pennies for him to bring in over the course of the next three weeks.
After totaling up money raised each day, I am in awe of the generosity our students displayed. These kids have surpassed my expectations –– but for them it has been no big deal.

a weekly update of the local news
Death of Christian Bourquin – The funeral of the president of the Languedoc-Region took place in Millas on Friday morning. Friends, family, the First Minister (Manuel Valls) and many other dignitaries were among the 4000 mourners who came to pay their respects to this popular politician.
Missing boy found safe and well – A 17 year old boy left Thuir psychiatric hospital earlier last week wearing just pyjama bottoms, a t-shirt, with no shoes or identity papers. Thanks to a police appeal for witnesses he was discovered in Le Boulou on Thursday and taken back to hospital.
Tourist found with drug stash – Police called to a camp-site in Argeles alerted by the suspicious behaviour of a young tourist found the boot of his car filled with several bags of Cannabis and 9 stolen mobile phones. The 22 year old youth explained to the court that he had been forced to hide the goods in his car by some people who threatened to harm his family if he didn't comply. The court was not convinced and sentenced him to one year in prison.
Father dies trying to save pet cat – A man in his 40s climbed onto the roof of an industrial building on the Route de Thuir in Perpignan at 2am last Wednesday morning, in an attempt to rescue a cat. When he failed to return home, his wife alerted the pompiers who carried out a search of the building and found that the roof had collapsed under his weight and he had fallen to his death. His wife and children were taken to hospital suffering from shock.
Huge drugs haul at Le Perthus – Customs officers pulled over a Fiat Multipla car, with temporary german number plates, last Monday, to subject it to a random drugs search. The sniffer dog immediately focussed on the seats of the car, where officers discovered 112kg of cannabis resin hidden in boxes. The driver, an unemployed French chef, admitted that he had been given the car in Morocco and paid 20,000€ to deliver it to his address. He now awaits trial.
Man threatened in his own car – A 74 year old man from Leucate accidentally cut in front of another driver, who was so angry that he sped up to overtake him, forced him to a halt, then got out of his car and started shouting and hitting the windscreen of the pensioner's vehicle, before jumping back into his car and driving off. The shocked old man bravely decided to follow the car to make a note of the number-plate but the young aggressor stopped his own car again, pulled the old man out of his car and punched and kicked him to such an extent that he was left bleeding by the side of the road. Police are looking for witnesses and the pensioner was taken to hospital.
Mobile speed controls – Traffic police using mobile radar systems carried out a control on the main Canet – Perpignan road last week and issued 16 speeding tickets. During the same period, a driver was caught travelling at 201kmh on the autoroute near St. Estève. The driver was fined 750€ and lost his licence.
Homeless man stabbed – An altercation between two homeless Spaniards last Wednesday started with kicks and blows but then ended when one of them brandished a knife and stabbed the other. The aggressor was quickly discovered (effectively due to his blood-stained clothes) and is being held in custody. The wounds suffered by the other are said not to be serious.
Cannabis farms discovered – Police in Prades and Vinça have discovered 3 cannabis farms in the area and more than 100 of the 3 metre tall plants have been destroyed. Cannabis farms are becoming more and more prevalent in the region due to the free sale of cannabis grains across the border.
And finally…………
Lovelocks on Bridges – Officials in Paris have called for a ban on the trend of fixing padlocks to bridges as a symbol of undying love between couples – following the collapse of railings on the Pont des Arts. This craze is now being copied around the world – and a recent report in L'Independent mentions that it has now come to Perpignan. But it appears that there is no need to worry yet as the article (mentioning the inscription and featuring 3 photographs), shows just one padlock on Pont Arago….

Walking through big game country with elite Master Naturalists Deb Tittle is a truly exciting - and more intimate - way to experience Africa.

Deb has a uniquely flexible approach to the nature of a safari walk; following each day's action as it unfolds, she builds the experience around the abilities and interests of her guests. Morning walks will kick off early to maximize the cooler temperatures when wildlife is most active – a tactical tea stop en route allows for rest and the ability to connect with Deb and learn more about her extraordinary expertise. Afternoon walks will cover less ground so you can enjoy the beautiful light before sunset. Overnight at Mapazi Bushcamp.

Walking Safaris
South Luangwa is known as the home of the walking safari. Walking through big game country with our elite Master Naturalists is a truly exciting - and more intimate - way to experience Africa. As a participant rather than just a tourist, you'll learn to interpret subtle signs and tracks and to identify new scents, listen for alarm cries that reveal the whereabouts of predators, and discover the wonder of life in the bush. While animals are more wary of humans on foot than in vehicles, an armed scout will compliment our guide for the utmost safety. You will determine how far you'd like to walk. The walking is always flat, since there are no hills, and easy since we don't have to cover any specific amount of miles, and the pace is usually very relaxed. We may also drive to an area where game has moved during the night and then walk from there.

Zambia Guides
Deb Tittle
Nsefu Sector, South Luangwa National Park Walking Safaris
Born in England, Deb grew up watching Africa's wildlife on television; these early impressions sparked her life-long fascination with, and study of, animal behaviour. After university she sought a way to explore these game-rich areas herself and signed up to drive Overland Expeditions throughout East, Central and Southern Africa. Several years, many parks and some great stories later, Deb chose South Luangwa as her intended home.
Her first job in Zambia, running tented mobile safaris, exposed her to the wonders of walking in the bush and with a pair of binoculars sent by Mum she began to study the wildlife more closely.
Deb passed her guiding exams in the mid 90's and has spent the last 22 years interpreting the nuances of the bush and enjoying Luangwa's magic with her guests. Whilst developing her own skills (over 2,500 walks) Deb has imparted much of her knowledge to local Zambians many of whom now enjoy successful careers as safari guides and conservationists.
Deb established Mapazi Camp, your accommodation for the trip, to offer the type of bespoke safari she personally enjoys: walks tailored to the ability and interests of each individual party; every guest involved in the interpretation of the bush, following the action, having fun and honing their own safari skills in the process.
Evenings enjoying cold drinks by the fire, wholesome food, comfortable beds and the sounds of the bush.
Over the coming years Mapazi camp will not only serve as Deb's base to explore this remote and beautiful corner of SLNP on walking safaris but importantly, serve as a base for anti-poaching patrols in the quiet (off season) months to help protect Luangwa's wonderful wildlife.
Zambia FAQ
Zambia Facts for Visitors
If your itinerary includes Mana Pools, you will be crossing the border into Zimbabwe and you will need a multiple-entry Zambian visa. Multiple-entry visas must be applied for in advance through the Zambian Embassy. Complete information, including a downloadable application, can be found at www.zambiaembassy.org under "Visa and Consular". The cost of a multiple-entry visa is about $80. It is recommended that you submit your application 1-2 months prior to your departure date.
If your itinerary does not include Mana Pools, you can obtain a visa at the point of entry into Zambia. Current charges are around $50 for tourists of most nationalities (U.S., Canada, and the U.K. If your nationality differs from those listed, please ask about visas before booking.
Please note that your passport must be valid for at least six months after the intended date of departure from Zambia and have at least two blank pages.
Departure Tax
Is payable locally in dollars by all guests for each departure. International Airport Tax - US$25; Domestic Airport Tax - US$8.
It is recommended that you only drink bottled water as the bacteria in the water can be quite aggressive to unfamiliar intestinal flora. If you have doubts, do not use the tap water, even for brushing teeth. TIP: Your local natural market, health food store, or vitamin shop may carry a natural product called Grapefruit Seed Extract. Other names include Naturbiotic Citricidal GSE. This totally natural product is a wonder for both prevention and treatment of all sorts of intestinal problems. It kills a long list of bacteria and protozoa, including Giardia, when used properly! 2-4 tablets of Grapefruit Seed extract with water once or twice each day acts as a prophylactic and will go a long way in preventing Montezuma's Revenge and other intestinal upset. Highly recommended.
Money / Currency
Zambia's unit of currency is the kwacha (ZMK.) At the airport and in the larger cities and towns, you can exchange travelers' checks and US dollars to kwacha. When changing U.S. dollars, use new or undamaged bills, as torn or heavily crinkled bills are not accepted. Some of the larger banks will have ATMS that can withdraw funds using Visa cards - be sure you know your PIN number. Additionally, Robin Pope Safaris accepts Visa for payments made in their camps. Credit cards are becoming more widely accepted, however not in remote areas, and should not be relied on. If you plan to use a credit or debit card, remember to call your bank in advance of your trip and let them know you will be using the card internationally. If you don't do this, banks will sometimes flag your account for fraudulent activity when you use your card abroad and it can be difficult to have the fraud alert lifted quickly.
Voltage / Outlets
Electricity can vary by location in Zambia but is usually 220-240 volts with Type C, Type G or Type D outlets. You will need to bring a converter for any appliances you plan to use that can't handle the higher voltage. Additionally, you will need a plug adapter that fit the specific plug types mentioned above. At the camps with generators (Nsefu and Tena Tena), hairdryers cannot be used, however simple battery recharging will be fine.
June-July: This is the "dry season" and is also winter. The grass dies back and the lagoons start to dry up. Expect warm days, but cold at night and in the early mornings. Jackets are needed.
August: Varies from cool to hot, can still have cold spells, bush is dry, lagoons are shrinking, and game viewing is increasing.
September: Hot, dry and hazy. Trees flower and lose leaves. Game viewing is excellent.
October: Very dry with excellent game viewing. There will likely be an occasional rain where it will cool down and clear the air. It can be very hot (up to 40 degrees C in the shade). New growth starts and there are newborns everywhere by the end of the month. The woodlands are all very green near the end of Oct.

After completing a framework plan with Brown University, we explored several arts studies. A main premise of the framework was to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration on campus, and in this initiative we explored a detailed arts district consolidation of the performing, music, and visual arts in the campus' core academic zone.
The idea proposes linking existing historic theater arts buildings already in the core with a new facility that consolidates music and visual arts facilities within the district. A simple, purposeful array of transparent studio environments are placed to enliven a major campus walk, engage neighboring arts buildings, and utilize the transparent first and second floor work and practice spaces as windows into active studios for both visitors and constituents. The current green is refined to provide a more intimate connection to proposed building lobbies, extend connections into adjacent campus districts, establish a lighting idea in concert with the transparent building interiors, and establish bolder avenues of trees with sitting areas to enhance the perimeter of the green.
The work included technical innovation to overcome below grade tunnel conditions and optimization of daylight and sound conditions. It coordinated potential phasing scenarios dictated by current capital availability and fundraising aspirations.

11. On Cinco de Mayo every year thirteen people die while reading blogs. Ok, I made that one up, but the rest might be true because I read them on the internet.
10. FDA regulations allow 10 insects and 35 fruit fly eggs per 8 oz of raisins. Yum! Natures candy!
9. When the sun goes out we will only have eight minutes and nineteen seconds before it gets very, very cold.
8. Your cell phone has more bacteria than your toilet.
7. The movie Toy Story is full of references to the movie The Shining. See that capet in Sid's room? Same one from the Overlook Hotel in The Shining.
6. Depending upon the brand of toilet paper you use, fecal matter can travel through up to ten layers.
5. If you can smell it, then there are microscopic particles of it in your nose. We breathe in about a liter of farts per day.
4. There is a real island to the South of Mexico City that is said to be one of the most haunted places in the world. The place is called, Isle de la Muñecas, or Island of the Dolls, and hanging in its trees are thousands of extremely scary dolls that are constantly watching.The story goes that the caretaker of the island began hanging the dolls up in trees after he found the body of girl in the water. As time went by, the caretaker began to complain that he heard voices whispering for him to come back to the place where he found the drowned girl. No one paid attention until the day he was found dead, drowned in the same place as she had, no witnesses except for the thousands of glass eyes nearby.
3. Over the course of our lifetime we inadvertently eat two pounds of dirt.
2. In the United States 2500 left handed people die every year due to using equipment designed for right handers.
1. The odds of you dying on your way to buy a lottery tickets are actual better than your odds of winning the lottery.
Which one disturbs you the most? Personally, I'm a little worried about the left handers. I'm not one, but it would be a shame to see their species become extinct. Have a great Cinco de Mayo! ~Phil

When I Think of You
I got the 50mm f/1.8 lens yesterday, thank you Kristina! I am so beyond thrilled. It makes me want to do portraits but uhh no one to take photos of and Daniel won't stay still for me lol.
I like kiwi. They were on sale at Meijer so I've been snacking on them this week. Tasty green bright goodness.
I have a billion emails to respond to at home.
I am uhh not very focused in this entry am I.
Who wants to share their favorite healthiest meal? I don't care if it's a snack, breakfast, lunch, dinner, or whatever. SHARE IT!
I've been trying to work through this evil depression. I realised that part of it is due to living in denial for so many years. I have yet to REALLY work through all of the emotions I've bottled up the last few years. It's a scary and difficult process. To let it all hit you at once. I guess part of me always felt that I didn't have time to deal with it. Put all of it on the back burner so to speak.
Aside from all of that, my darling Elyse has a fantastic new layout happening. Go and love on her. Oh Maggie has a new layout too!
It doesn't even feel like Spring here. It's still 30's and such. I want blooming flowers people! I seriously think that in the next 300 years or so, that for North America, summer will happen in November and December… basically everything will skip ahead a season or two. Global warming!
Also… I am listening to White Snake again…. bwahahaha. Dude.

Even when Boston Celtics guard Nate Robinson spoke about the importance of staying focused on education during his jersey retirement ceremony at Rainier Beach High School, he joked how his agent has to put up with him and how he would, er, borrow his friend's paper to help get his homework done.
Part of what makes Robinson "Nate Robinson" is the jovial entertainment he provides.
Yet despite us focusing on Robinson-as-entertainer here in this thread, Celtics coach Doc Rivers notes that he's learned how to save the entertainment for water breaks and separate that from the business of NBA practice, as described by Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal.
Robinson says he understands exactly what Rivers is looking for and credits the playoff experience with teaching him to be a better professional.
"When it's practice time, I want to focus on practice," said Robinson. "When we have our breaks, we can clown around and do our thing. That's something I'm improving on, just getting more mature. That comes with time. I'm 26 years old and I'm not getting any younger."
It seems from listening to Robinson talk that he's always had people around to help him temper some of his clowning around, whether that be the presence of his mother or Rainier Beach teammate Jamal Crawford. But as he says, he's not getting any younger and the best thing for his career – if he wants to be a contributor on a winning team – is this process of figuring out how and when to turn it on and off.

Ok, time for PART 2:
After all the "Clips & Space" and Fabric shenanigans, I flew to Prague to play a gig organised by the Mooove IT crew. A good turn out in a spectacular venue (the Cross Club) made it a really cool gig. It was also really nice to finally meet the Magors crew, Kevin and my friend Sarka! Good times :)
I then spent a couple of weeks making music in my London studio and played a series of local gigs, before it was time for me to fly straight from my gig at Egg to Barcelona for the first ever LMD boat party!! A great DJ line-up and amazing party people made the 11am start all worth it (not easy with the Spanish sun and when you've been up all night ;). It was also a Bobby & Klein reunion as my partner in crime Vinz was there: It was great to catch up with him as it'd been quite a while since we last saw each other… We put some dates in the diary and a new EP is in the works. Music-wise, the crown goes to Joshua Iz for rockin this boat out proper, even though he played for 45min during lunchtime…
… And here's a video of myself playing my favourite tune of the summer, Burnski's "Topical Nights"!
Me, Vinz and a group of friends then headed to the official Resident advisor party which featured the all-star line-up of Soul Clap, Mark E, Prins Tomas and the amazing DJ Harvey, which kept us dancing to the finest disco beats til the early hours with records that I'd never ever heard before, absolutely amazing!
After coming home from this excellent weekend, I had 2 days to pack my suitcase and head straight to LA to meet Joshua Heath and start my annual US tour. I felt welcomed ;)
This tour took me to LA, San Diego, Oakland, San Francisco, Seattle and Phoenix. A big big thank you to all the DJs, promoters and fans that came out to the shows. Special thanks to the incredible Seattle people that really made me feel at home and hosted a wicked gig at the Electric Tea Garden. Also, a big thank you to the people that hosted me, took me places and drove me around. Here's some pics for you, including one of the worl'ds hottest house Pin-Up, Miss Vanessa from San Francisco!! She came to my Oakland gig with a special GIOM t-shirt! Highlight of my day for sure :)
I also had the pleasure of discovering a curious LA specialty, the ICE CREAM sandwich!!, which, despite its revolting name was a very enjoyable experience. Special thanks to Joshua Heath for taking me to MILK for this. Oh yeah, we worked on music also :)

YouTube's latest batch of crypto channel bans continues as trader, analyst, and channel host, Tone Vays, sees his channel removed from the platform.
"The worst part about it is that my entire login is deleted, so, on my phone for example, I can't even use the YouTube app to watch other people's content," Vays told Cointelegraph on April 16 in a direct message. "Not to mention my playlists of other people's content are now gone too."
Vays has faced individual video strikes before, but not a whole channel ban
Many large-scale crypto YouTubers faced video strikes and channel removals from the YouTube platform during the latter half of 2019.
Vays has faced difficulties before. "Last time just one video was flagged and I had a warning," he said, adding that one more strike would result in YouTube removing his live streaming capabilities. The trader said YouTube cleared his strike several weeks after.
This time was different
In an April 16 tweet, Vays said YouTube took down one of his latest videos because of "Harmful & Dangerous Content," as YouTube's policy explanation describe it.
Shortly after, Vays tweeted that YouTube removed his channel completely.
"This time I got the same warning on this morning's video (which was nothing different from the other 1,000 videos on my channel)," Vays explained to Cointelegraph. "An hour later my entire channel was gone," he added, citing an email from YouTube stating a complaint had been made against Vays' channel.
YouTube concluded that Vays' channel had acted against its terms of service. They also determined that Vays could not make any other channels on the platform, according to the email Vays received.
In another whirlwind event, Jason Appleton, host of the Crypto Crow YouTube channel, recently saw his account banned and restored inside of a few days.

Jackson, Miss., was the political epicenter of America for about an hour Wednesday night as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and a who's who of state and national politics rallied support for Trump's bid.
Trump touched a range of topics, from race to immigration to his challenger, Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. Trump harshly criticized Clinton, a former secretary of state and U.S. senator at times. He called her "a bigot," for what he called taking the votes of people of color for granted, and he said she "has betrayed her duty to our people," referring to Americans
Sticking to a recently renewed effort to appeal to African American and Hispanic voters, Trump spent much of his speech in Jackson discussing race.
"The Democratic party has failed and betrayed the African American community," Trump told the crowd. "It's time to give the Democrats some competition for African American votes and for Hispanic votes. If you keep voting for the same people, you'll keep getting the same results."
Trump interrupted his own speech to introduce Nigel Farage, who led an effort to withdraw the U.K. from the European Union. Farage, who received subdued applause when he was introduced, drew parallels between Brexit and Trump's goal of "redeclaring American independence on Nov. 8," the presidential candidate said, referring to election day. By the end of Farage's three or four-minute speech, the crowd was raucous once again.
"If I was an American citizen, I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me," Farage said, garnering booming cheers from the audience. "Anything is possible if enough American people stand up against the establishment."
Trump's stance on immigration has been a hallmark of his campaign and dominated news cycles the past couple weeks as pundits and even the candidate himself suggested his proposed immigration policies "are softening." In his speech in Jackson, Trump highlighted three focus areas for his immigration policy: jobs, wages and security for Americans.
The candidate took aim at Clinton's immigration policy, calling it a "radical immigration plan" that would "lower wages and kill jobs for lawful American residents."
"I want to bring people here who share our values, love our people, and are capable of loving America," Trump said. "Any immigration plan I endorse must improve jobs and wages for American citizens… It must improve the safety and security for US citizens. Third, it must improve the quality of life for US citizens."
A number of Mississippi and national Republican officials attended the rally.
Gov. Phil Bryant, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani introduced Trump to the stage at the Mississippi Coliseum. U.S. Reps. Gregg Harper and Trent Kelly stood behind the candidate's podium. State Treasurer Lynn Fitch and Agriculture Commissioner Cindy Hyde-Smith also had front-row seats for Trump.
After the speech, Bobby Moak, chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party, criticized state officials for appearing with Trump, whose record he said includes disparaging women, minorities and military families.
"As if Mississippi's Republican leadership's own poor record of job losses, increased government spending, high unemployment, and a lowered economic outlook coupled with a budget mess they do not have the political courage to solve, this same group couldn't wait to welcome a very special guest that helped usher in the same for our British cousins," Moak said through a statement.
Trump mentioned Mississippi five times in his remarks, including a nod to the state's jobless rates, one of the worst in the nation.
"We are going to bring back jobs to Mississippi," he said.
State officials told Mississippi Today the purpose of Trump's visit originally was to hold a fundraiser, but later added the rally at the Coliseum. Even with short notice, approximately 4,000-5,000 attended the event, which lasted just over an hour.
"They put together the fundraiser first, and then tacked on the rally afterwards," Perry said. "The campaign said, 'We've got him here for another hour, what can we do with him?' Doing the fundraiser isn't unusual. The idea made sense. There's not a lot of money to raise here, but they'll raise it."
As Trump exited the building to "You Can't Always Get What You Want," by the Rolling Stones, attendees flooded out of the Coliseum happy to witness the event and the November election.
"I am really encouraged by his optimism and his wanting us to get back to our principles," said Richland resident Patricia Cuatt.

Fika & Fishy by Patch and Punnet is a performance featuring the unlikely friendship between adorable, innocent Fika the Dog and bitter, disillusioned Fishy the...well, Fish. The distinct contrast between these two characters lead to both hilarious interactions and intriguing introspection. By framing familiar dilemmas within ridiculous situations with a dash of irreverent humour, Patch and Punnet stays true to their rooted vision to "create a welcoming theatre scene that inspires creativity, conversation and change".
With that in mind, Fika & Fishy may swing between ridiculousness and introspection, but throughout it all, it manages to be consistently forthright. It may be about a ridiculous, precious friendship between a fish and a dog, but in the end, it is a genuine portrayal of how friendships form despite apparent differences. It doesn't shy away from a plainly-worded conversation about a dog's lack of balls after being neutered, but neither does it shy away from what that says about Fika's personal freedom. Another perfect example would be their discussion of "furry privilege" - the phrase itself is ridiculous, if you know what "furry" means on Urban Dictionary. The word carries a social meaning, plainly setting up the divide between Fika and Fishy. Indeed, we clearly know these two from the very beginning: Before the performance begins, Fishy sits in her bowl, irritably swimming in circles. Within the first scene we understand that she's bitter about the inevitability of her death and her inability to experience life outside of her bowl. Fika, on the other hand, is the owner's new dog who is enthused by anything and everything he sees, enjoying freedom away from the animal shelter. As the story unfolds, we are presented with forthright conversations on both Fika and Fishy's feeling of being trapped -- one in an abusive relationship, another within a glass bowl.
On the surface, Fika & Fishy functions easily as a forthright, heart-warming story. This lack of frills frees up narrative space for the inclusion of Easter eggs throughout the play. These are little nostalgic references to pop culture that might be relevant to a millennial's childhood: The decorations in Fishy's bowl are shaped like houses from SpongeBob SquarePants, a discussion about "the circle of life" like from The Lion King, etc. In fact, the very premise of this story -- an unlikely friendship between two animals -- is very much a familiar story to anyone with a childhood. From the beginning, as we walked in and waited for the show to start, their house music consisted solely of nostalgic Disney and Pixar theme songs, setting the tone for the story to come.
To us, however, the most interesting Easter egg is this: Fika and Fishy pass by a street called "420 Wallaby Way" towards the middle of the play. This is both a reference to weed and 42 Wallaby Way, the address Dory was looking for in Finding Nemo. It is a strange combination, but it encapsulates exactly what makes Fika & Fishy so unique. It balances these nostalgic references to childhood with jokes about sex, furries and dildoes, and the reason why it can so forthrightly do this is because ultimately all this is a reflection of its audience. Patch and Punnet aims to create theatre for millennials, by millennials. And so, delving into this millennial identity brings us the dissonance that characterises this part of our lives. The innocence of childhood is a recent memory for us, but that contends with a less sanitised reality in the present, particularly in the exploration of one's own body, of sex, of the strange stupid comedy that adult life sometimes is. If we read ourselves into this play, it becomes far more open-ended than the simple story it seems to be on the surface. Fika's story could be telling of our relationship with our parents or even with this home called Singapore. Fishy's arc could be about all the dreams we desire to achieve before we die, or the possibility that we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, that when we die, no one would miss us. Ultimately, Fika & Fishy is immensely cognisant of the identity and preoccupations of its audience, and exploits that to tell us an honest story -- it describes our reflection in a mirror, just with a different frame.
This is reinforced by how Patch and Punnet curates the space within which we would receive Fika & Fishy. It is a cosy little shophouse in Little India, with beanbags, pillows and a couch, all warmly lit and welcoming. The play itself does not take place on a stage -- it is just a space with props and a window for Fishy to look through. Music was done by a live band, consisting of three guys sitting at the side with instruments and a laptop. This is a stage stripped down, presented to us not from a pedestal but from eye level, with the stuffy formality of theatre removed. Fika & Fishy is presented to us with all the smoothness of a professional production, but accessible and earnest in a way that a play at a conventional theatre space (say Victoria Theatre) may never be able to achieve.
It is this understanding that we'd like you to carry into watching this production: that Patch and Punnet and Fika & Fishy are unique in their forthrightness and earnestness and passion. We urge you to laugh honestly at their jokes, feel honestly for each character, read your own story honestly into this narrative, and to meet this incredibly passionate team with all the honesty they present to you.

High School Athletes Are at Risk for Concussions & May Need a Longer Recovery Than Thought
A recent study from the Henry Ford Sports Medicine Research team suggests that high school athletes competing, not only in football, but in soccer, hockey, basketball, swimming, cheerleading, and other sports are not only at risk for concussions but may need a longer recovery than first thought.
The study's results published by Orthopedics, a nationally recognized, peer-reviewed journal for orthopedic surgeons found that the most common sports for brain injuries were indeed football, hockey, and soccer.
"The two sports, other than football, where concussions are common are soccer and hockey, although brain injuries can happen in any sport," said Meaghan Rourke, one of more than 30 Henry Ford athletic trainers who support sports programs at over 20 high schools, colleges and universities and professional teams in the tri-county area.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's latest executive order allows the high school football season to begin September 18. Football was reinstated by the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) after initially being postponed until spring 2021. With football back in action with an adjusted six-game season, athletic trainers will once again be patrolling the sidelines and be on the lookout for signs of concussions. Other sports given the green light to compete this fall include soccer, volleyball, swimming, and diving. These competitions will also present the potential for brain injuries from collisions, falls, and impacts with the field of play.
"I went through a four-year period as an athletic trainer where I had at least one swimmer suffer a concussion. That's a sport you don't really think about in terms of concussions," said Rourke. She explained that in one instance a swimmer miscalculated her distance to the pool wall while doing the backstroke and bumped her head against the wall.
As a result, the swimmer was out for more than a month with a concussion. Diving is another sport susceptible to brain injuries as the divers' heads impact the surface of the water at high speeds generated from their dives. In reality, all sports have the potential for concussions since athletics involves physical activity and competition.
"Competitive cheerleading is another sport where I've seen concussions happen. The kids get very high in the air, and if they slip and fall when they are coming down, they can suffer serious head injuries," said Rourke, "We usually have one or two athletes in that sport suffer concussions. Overall, I've probably had to deal with a concussion in every sport, including golf."
The retrospective study looked at Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) scores at baseline testing and following concussions performed by neuropsychologists. The study found that memory ImPACT scores increased as players suffered repeated concussions.
The imPACT is the brain injury testing protocol developed in the late 1990s at the University of Pittsburgh and released in the early 2000s. The testing protocol is the only FDA-approved tool for a concussion assessment and is the national testing used by healthcare, educational, and sports organizations to help assess and manage concussions.
The protocol defines a concussion as "a disturbance in brain function that occurs following either a blow to the head or as a result of the violent shaking of the head." Symptoms of a concussion can include a combination of headaches, nausea, vomiting, balance problems, dizziness, fatigue, visual problems, and a host of other brain-associated symptoms.
The study examined the records of 357 high school athletes who were treated for concussions at Henry Ford from 2013 to 2016. The athlete's age averaged between 14-18 with nearly 62% being males. Football yielded the most concussions (27.7%), followed by hockey (21.8%), soccer (17%), basketball (9 %), and cheerleading (4.2%). From the study's participants, 72 played in "Other" sports and accounted for 20.3% of the total number of concussions. Overall, 14 % reported suffering from amnesia and 33 % reported a history of concussions.
Henry Ford athletic trainers use internationally approved guidelines to accurately diagnose concussions, appropriately manage the recovery process, and safely return athletes back to their game. They use sideline tools such as the Sports Concussion Assessment Tool 5 (SCAT5) to immediately evaluate cognitive function and, if needed, additional neuropsychological tests may be administered by a physician to track progress through the recovery process. SCAT5 is a standardized concussion assessment used by licensed healthcare providers when a concussion is suspected in athletes ages 12 and older.
Current MHSAA protocols call for a player showing concussion symptoms to be sidelined for at least 24 hours. Athletes at high schools staffed with a Henry Ford athletic trainer are sidelined for at least five days and follow a strict return to play protocol, "We're going to slowly bring them back," said Rourke. "We don't want to just throw them out there where they're going to get hit again, and then they're dealing with prolonged symptoms."
The Henry Ford research team found that athletes with only one concussion required at least 30 days of recovery prior to returning to their sport while others who reported second or more concussions required more recovery time. They also learned that visual-motor speed and reaction time scores decreased with recurrent concussions and those male and female athletes with a previous history of concussion, and those with delayed diagnosis, required more time before returning to competition.
The study team hopes that the results help start the conversation on how to more safely return student-athletes to their sport after a brain injury. "When you recognize that it can be up to 30 days to get a young student-athlete back, you're going to change your mind-set on how you advance them, in terms of how you push them, in terms of how you test them," said Dr. Moutzouros.
Previously, it was believed that brain injuries were related to a player's age. The younger the player, the shorter the recovery time. "We need more studies on the younger athletes," said Dr. Moutzouros, "Many of us have children. We're all worried about them and we want them to be safe. So, we need to recognize that this is a problem for the youth athlete."

Is not getting enough sleep driving you crazy? Too crazy to get some sleep? Life is a vicious circle and sometimes we can get trapped on the merry-go-round. While we should see a doctor when it comes to our mental health or just get some sleep, here are some reasons that may give you a little incentive to make an appointment.
There are a multitude of causes for insomnia including stress, pain and depression. More importantly, it can lead to severe health issues such as reduced immunity, lack of coordination and attentiveness which can lead to unsafe driving, depression and extra work for your heart among dozens of other consequences that can threaten your life. Notice that depression can be a cause and an effect. It is one of those deadly merry-go-rounds. Jump off that merry-go-round and take care of your mental health.
Without enough rest, it becomes easier to worry about smaller issues, as well as the big ones. We lose the ability to be patient and we can lose the ability to stay calm. The more we worry, the more we become anxious. That anxiety can blow smaller problems into huge, gigantic ones. When problems seem to become big, they seem harder if not impossible to deal with. Which is another blow to our mental health.
Depression can be deadly. Losing sleep over it makes it even harder to cope. Where anxiety can make smaller problems bigger, depression can create problems where they don't even exist. Our life is how we interpret it. With depression, our interpretations become sadder, more defeatist and bleak. Mental health is our rock to stand in the wind. Without it, we can blow away in the next gust. Sleep helps us stand strong.
Sleeping problems can be a result of schizophrenia. This mental health disease can cause episodes of delusions or hallucinations. Sleep deprivation can be a sign of an oncoming episode or make a current one more severe.
Hypersomnia is the opposite of insomnia. While the mental health disease of bipolar disorder can lead to both, hypersomnia can be more common. But, during periods of mania, bipolar sufferers can stay awake for days. The symptoms and causes are many. Getting enough sleep early in an episode can help.
Individuals with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder have double the incidence of sleeping disorders in comparison to the rest of the population. In fact, it is now questioned whether those who have been diagnosed with ADHD may have just been suffering sleep deprivation. Either way, sleep is an important factor.
Many of the above symptoms can already be an existing condition exacerbated by the lack of sleep. If any of these are affecting your life, see a doctor about your mental health. Stop losing sleep.

Discussion and Analysis by Charles Porter:
Sterling opened approximately in line with Friday's close of play but has appreciated throughout the morning so far. Over the weekend, rumours have been debated as to the key element's of Chancellor Hammond's forthcoming UK Budget speech. Although a while off, markets will jostle to price in the extent of UK borrowing. The day ahead looks to hold particular risk within the Aussie Dollar, with the Reserve Bank due to meet early tomorrow morning UK time. However, as Brexit talks continue to determine Sterling's value, we look ahead to the next round of negotiations commencing on Thursday.
Sterling Briefing: Technocracy to Politics:
Opening approximately in line with the value recorded on Friday, Sterling markets are largely unchanged after the weekend. Last week and, in fact, those that preceded it, was dominated by the actions, or anticipated actions, of the Bank of England, the UK's technocratic and apolitical body responsible for setting interest rates.
In contrast, this week will be characterised by the actions of the UK government and its democratic politics. With markets beginning to speculate and price-in Chancellor Hammond's forthcoming Autumn Budget, and as Brexit negotiations strive to reach 'sufficient' progress, the Pound contains both potential and risk.
Euro Briefing: New Equilibrium:
The Euro still trades down against the US Dollar when compared with the enduring levels seen last month. The sell-off from the Euro following Draghi's dovish taper looks to have stuck with a level of political risk inconsistent with immense short-term appreciation.
Today, there will be a limited significance to Eurozone 'soft' data. The release of PMI data, concerning confidence within the Euro area's underlying economies, is a final estimate of data previously released. As such, there is lower risk associated with its release.
Trump's Tax Plan:
Anticipation of the tax plan has provided a support to the US Dollar as far back as when the currency president had been elected. The anticipated breaks to business and commerce were received positively by the US Dollar and, as such, markets began to price fiscal progress into the currency right from the beginning.
Despite markets questioning the value of a Trump, Republican, Presidency along the way, they do not appear to have been overly disappointed with the materialisation of the plan. For now then, US Dollar market attention should turn to the facilitation of the plan that continues in Congress today.
The Days Ahead:
The Reserve Bank of Australia will be meeting in the early hours of tomorrow morning to set monetary policy. With interest rate policy stagnating in Australia, with a no-hike for 13 consecutive meetings, the confidence effect of a policy change and upward revision of interest rates would endow the Aussie Dollar with considerable strength. The probability for this looks limited, however, a change to the language and sentiment of the Bank would achieve comparable progress.
Trump's visit to Asia will contain valuable sound-bites that can easily affect the value of the US Dollar. Similarly within the US, the progression of the Tax plan will not be a one-off event; progress as well as hindrance could appear at virtually any point along its constitutional path. In the UK, tumultuous Brexit negotiations have expectations to fulfil, with second round facilitation expected by December. The extent to which this possibility is priced into the market will determine the fall out from a validation or denial of the conjecture.

What is oro-antral communication (OAC)?
What causing OAC?
What factor put you at risk developing OAC after tooth extraction?
*Large and unfavourable shaped roots extending into the sinus
What are the signs and symptoms?
Following the creation of an oro-antral communication, the patient may experience various signs and symptoms including :
- Escape of fluids from mouth into nose on eating/drinking
- Air or fluid into mouth on blowing the nose
- Pain initially – over time it would only be painful if there was an added infection
- A blocked nose and discharge on the one side (feeling of fullness)
- Fracture of the antrum floor
- Attachment of sinus lining and associated fractured bone and roots upon extraction
- A non-healing/empty socket (Loss of the socket blood clot in the days immediately following extraction)
- Persistent pain localized to tooth socket
- Pain and tenderness of the area under the eye/upper cheek on one side
- Dark opening into the sinus visualized with appropriate lighting
Pain severity: Usually not painful unless secondary sinusitis develops.
If you have an OAC, what will happen?
Two things can happen:
- It can heal spontaneously– As usually happens with the appropriate care
- An oro-antral fistula forms– here the gum in your mouth and the lining of your nose cavity grow together to form a non-healing tunnel between the two. It requires further surgery to close.
The dentist may suspect a communication, or one may have been confirmed. Either way, the advice is similar- you should follow their instructions, which are aimed at preventing a rise in air pressure in the sinus. If this happens, for example sneezing or blowing your nose will force air down into the mouth, through the hole and it may worsen or prevent the communication from healing.
Reminder: Follow all extraction aftercare advice!
How to investigate?
Objective of the investigation
To demonstrate communication between antrum and mouth
To detect retained root fragments or sequestra in socket or into antrum. To exclude the possibility of other lesions such as malignant neoplasms
Radiographs: Periapical (PA view), Orthophantomogram (OPG)/Occipto-mental view (OMV)/CT scan
To eliminate dental causes for any pain
Vitality test, mobility of the adjacent teeth
To exclude malignancy or identify other causes for impaired socket healing
Biopsy (if presence of solid tissue in the socket)
*Radiological observations might show a sinus floor discontinuity, sinus opacity or focal alveolar atrophy.
How to treat the OAC?
Decision on how to treat an OAC is base on the size of communication, time of diagnosis and presence of an infection
Estimate the fistula diameter
1-2 mm: No treatment required, as it will usually naturally heal.
2-4 mm: Carefully follow the patient after 1-2 weeks and advise to avoid straining the area (no holding back sneezes, no smoking, no use of straws, no pressure on the sinus).
6 mm or larger: the primary purpose is closure of the defect and prevention of sinusitis. Immediate management will includes:
- Suturing/periodontal pack
- Rinses with physiologic solution
- Rinses with antibiotic solvent
- Antibiotic prophylactic
- Consequently, the treatment usually involves surgical intervention. Various techniques have been reported in the literature including local flaps (e.g., palatal rotational advancement and buccal advancement flaps), distant flaps (e.g.tongue flaps) or grafts (e.g., bone graft)
Possible Complications of OAC
- Chronic sinusitis
- Facial cellulitis
- Osteomyelitis with maxillary bone loss (less common)

The details below depict the anticipated flight schedule for the F-35's during steady-state operations. In late April - early May a significant portion of the 158th Fighter Wing deployed to Europe to support NATO's air policing mission. This deployment will affect the flight schedule, however, Airmen must still train to maintain proficiencies in accordance with Air Force standards. At this time the flight schedule for the remaining F-35's is variable and cannot be provided in detail.
The 158th Fighter Wing generally operates with takeoff windows Tuesdays through Fridays, 8:30-10:30 a.m. and 12:30-2:30 p.m., averaging two takeoff windows per day, each generally with 4 to 8 aircraft. The Wing also operates during drill weekend, typically the first non-holiday weekend of the month. Times may change due to weather, Federal Aviation Administration air traffic coordination, maintenance requests, and other factors, which prevent us from releasing more specific takeoff information. The 158th Fighter Wing publishes press releases whenever there is a significant deviation from this schedule, such as during night flying.
As of June 2021, the 158th Fighter Wing has used afterburner only once since their arrival in September 2019, less than 1 percent of all flights.
First, although 158th Fighter Wing pilots are authorized to take off in afterburner, we have chosen not to do so regularly, as we recognize this would have an impact on the local community.
Second, we use a noise abatement profile that includes reduced climb angles and lower power settings on takeoff. This reduces the engine's power output by about a third after the aircraft reaches its climb airspeed after takeoff.
Third, pilots use a 500-foot higher pattern altitude when preparing to land compared to the F-16. In general, the profiles used on approach for landing are higher and quieter than the F-16 profiles.
Fourth, our pilots typically avoid flying over Winooski High School when landing on Runway 15.
Finally, pilots practice airport landing patterns at other military airfields to the maximum extent possible and perform one arrival at Burlington International Airport with a full-stop landing unless mission requirements dictate otherwise.
You may file an F-35 noise comment using the contact form on this page. The Vermont National Guard will receive and log your comment.
If you live in southern Vermont and would like to file an F-15 noise comment, you may contact the Massachusetts Air National Guard via email at email@example.com.
If you are unsure what aircraft generated the noise but believe it came from out of state, you may leave a comment with the Federal Aviation Administration at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also call and leave a voicemail at 202-267-3521 or 781-238-7600.
The direction of takeoffs and landings is determined by the active runway at the airport. The air traffic controllers determine the active runway based on wind direction, because aircraft always take off and land into the wind. Controllers will pick the runway that has a headwind component, even if it's predominantly a crosswind. If winds are calm, controllers will usually pick the runway that aligns with forecast winds.
The swooping maneuver allows jets to complete their landing efficiently to open the runway back up for civilian and commercial aircraft traffic. A straight-in approach could back up airspace for up to 20 miles, creating an aerial traffic jam. In addition, the final descending turn is quieter than a straight-in approach because the jets use gravity in the final turn to help fly an approach speed instead of increased engine thrust. It's not much of a power reduction, but it's slightly less than flying straight in, and it keeps the jets higher for a longer period of time over the local community, reducing the noise footprint.
The 65 Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) is a noise metric combining the levels and durations of noise events over an extended period. It is a cumulative average computed over a 24-hour period to represent the total noise exposure. DNL also accounts for the more intrusive nighttime noise by adding a 10 dB penalty for noise events after 10:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. DNL is used at all U.S. airports with the exception of those in California, which use a similar metric. Therefore, residents within and outside the 65 DNL contour will experience peaks in excess of 65 DNL.
Night flying is a critical component of our training and fulfilling our comprehensive readiness requirements. We must ensure our team is ready to respond in any environment or situation, for our state and nation, and we also understand that we must balance this with the impact our training has on the community.
As a fully operational fighter wing, the Vermont Air National Guard trains in regional airspace with partner units. This integrated training is vital to enhance mission readiness and provide realistic combat training experiences. As the cornerstone of the U.S. Air Force fighter fleet, the F-35A Lightning II is designed to operate in conjunction with a variety of aircraft including bombers, fighters and others.

Other military aircraft may train in Vermont. Of note, all air traffic is managed by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Vermont Air National Guard has no visibility or authority over air use by other military, civilian or commercial air traffic in the state of Vermont.
No. The Vermont National Guard does not have the authority to regulate training flights from other states, to include use of the Burlington International Airport, a public airport.

Cooperative Lancer 2012
North Macedonia —
About 40 members of the Vermont Army National Guard joined a dozen other countries in the former Yugoslav Republic of North Macedonia in May for a two-week long NATO exercise that was designed to enhance interoperability between participating countries. Named Cooperative Lancer and Longbow, the Vermont Army National Guard members worked with fellow military men and women from more than a dozen NATO countries and NATO-partner countries. Vermont has had a good relationship with North Macedonia via the State Partnership Program since 1993 which has fostered close ties between the two groups.

The F-35A Lightning II fifth generation fighter uses aerodynamic performance and advanced integrated avionics to provide next-generation stealth, enhanced situational awareness, and reduced vulnerability for the United States and allied nations. In 2016, the United States Air Force selected the 158th Fighter Wing to receive the first F-35A's in the Air National Guard after an extensive review. The initial two F-35A's arrived in Vermont in the fall of 2019 and the 158th FW reached their full inventory of 20 fighter jets a year later. Currently, the 158th FW is on track to complete their conversion requirements by the end of calendar year 2021, at which point they will become fully operational. The Air Force has no plans to change the decision to base the F-35A's in Burlington, Vermont.
