In an unexpected update to his last blog post titled "Meh", Geohot has announced that he, for the time being at least has kind of abandoned the whole iPhone jailbreak and unlock scene. The reasons according to him are as follows.
Sorry, this post was probably a bad idea. Next time I won't say anything. I miss when this blog was actually about technical things(I've been reacting too much to the feedback, which led it to the place it's in now). I didn't fully realize most of the current scene don't care unless they are getting something. Now I do. It's late tonight, I'll think about what to do about this in the morning.
The real reason behind no release isn't technical. It's just that it will never stop, after blackra1n, people demand unlock, after blacksn0w, people demand untethered. I miss the days when jailbreaking and unlocking were difficult, it attracted a much higher caliber crowd.
Also, to the haters, the picture is quite obviously fake 😀
While I respect this guy for all his contributions in the past, and I understand the reasons he has put in, there is still something about this whole story which makes me wonder if Apple has something to do with this. Maybe he was offered money?, or maybe he was threatened with criminal charges for continuing? well who knows. He showed off a untethered jailbreak for new iPhone and iPod touches back in March, followed by a jailbreak for iPad and iOS 4 Beta in April, but none of them ever saw light of day makes no sense to me.
For those of you who don't know, George Hotz (Geohot) is the guy who first unlocked the original iPhone in 2007, followed by first jailbreak for iPhone 3GS, and then later he was the first one to provide all-in-one jailbreak / unlock solution for iPhone 3.1.2 firmware through his famous tool, named blackra1n and blacksn0w.
So where does that leave us – the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS (new bootrom) and iPod touch 3G users? Well, Comex's Spirit like jailbreak tool is now the only hope. It will probably be released once Apple rolls out the new iOS 4.0.1 / 4.1 firmware update for iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G.
UPDATE 1: Geohot shuts down his iPhone public for public. His blog now requires private invite in order to read the content. This is what he said on Twitter:
i was just having fun but some people had to take this all way too seriously. it's just a phone, and it isn't much fun anymore.
my bio isn't "iPhone hacker" it was just something i did occasionally when i was bored. seriously, i think many of you care way more than me
it was a cool ride, and i've learned a lot about a lot. perhaps one of these days i'll do a more formal goodbye.

'IT' is finally unveiled
"IT" is here. IT generated a huge amount of hype and speculation in January this year when news of its existence first emerged.
IT is a scooter. But not just any scooter.
It might look like an old-fashioned lawn mower, but the one-person, two-wheeled, battery-powered scooter is packed with technology that reportedly makes it easy to ride and hard to fall off.
Traffic jams
The Segway Human Transporter has gyroscopes to keep it upright and a sensitive steering mechanism that starts the scooter moving when its rider leans forward.
Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway, expects it to be a huge hit in cities where traffic congestion clogs the roads.
Details of the scooter were unveiled on ABC Television's Good Morning America breakfast show.
On the show, inventor Kamen said using the Segway was like putting on a pair of "magic sneakers".
Stirling speculation
"All the knowledge that went into knowing how to walk goes into this machine," said Mr Kamen. "It kind of walks for you."
Even before launch, the contraption has its first customers. The US Postal Service, General Electric and the US National Parks have reportedly agreed to buy many heavy-duty models for $8,000 (�5,609) each.
But consumer versions costing $3000 (�2,100) will not be available for a year.
The Segway scooter is also detailed in an article in an issue of Time Magazine. Mr Kamen told the magazine: "Cars are great for going long distances. But it makes no sense at all for people in cities to use a 4,000-pound piece of metal to haul their 150-pound asses around town."
Recently Mr Kamen has filed several patents for scooters and personal transporters that can carry people over rough terrain.
Since the first rumours about the Segway started circulating in January, the hype about the product has been building.
Expectations were raised by the high profile of some of the investors in the Segway project, who include Jeff Bezos, boss of online bookstore Amazon, and Steve Jobs, chief executive of Apple.
Past patents
Hyperbolic statements about the scooter being "more important than the internet" and its invention having as profound an impact as the creation of the car fuelled January's wild speculation.
Now, Mr Kamen admits that the unveiling of the scooter could leave people saying: "Is that it?"
He told Time: "It won't beam you up to Mars or turn lead into gold. So, sue me."
Mr Kamen is a prolific inventor. He holds over 100 patents for devices as diverse as a portable dialysis machine and a motorised wheelchair that can climb stairs.
Will Kamen's latest invention be a success? UK readers will be reminded of the C5, a three-wheeled electric buggy from 1985 that was also supposed to revolutionise the way people moved about the city.
The vehicle, which was the brainchild of one of the early pioneers of truly pocket calculators, Sir Clive Sinclair, was a commercial disaster and became the butt of many jokes.

Univision Deportes Nets Broadcast Rights for 18 Liga MX Matches
Univision Deportes said it has secured rights for 18 Liga MX games for the 2017-2018 season, making the multimedia sports division of Univision Communications the sole destination for fans of the Mexican soccer league.
Liga MX, which according to Univision is the most watched soccer league in the U.S., regardless of language, consists of clubs América, Atlas, Cruz Azul, Guadalajara, León, Monterrey, Morelia, Necaxa, Pachuca, Puebla, Querétaro, Santos Laguna, Tijuana, Toluca, UANL, UNAM, Veracruz and the recently added, Lobos BUAP.
The distribution deal includes live broadcast on Univision Deportes' television and radio platforms in major markets in the U.S. as well as digital platforms across the country. The deal builds on what already has been a strong relationship between Univision Deportes and Liga MX – the network's highly-rated "Sábado Futbolero" Saturday prime time offering was co-developed with the league.

"We are thrilled to welcome Liga MX's Lobos BUAP to our extensive Univision Deportes soccer portfolio," said Univision Deportes president Juan Carlos Rodríguez in a statement. "Fanáticos across the country have made us their go-to destination for sports entertainment and our commitment to bringing them the best and most popular teams, players and content across all platforms, is stronger than ever and solidifies us at the home of soccer in the U.S."
Rights to Lobos de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, known as Lobos BUAP, were secured during the mid-2017 season – as well as games played by the other 17 powerhouse teams – through Liga MX's 2017/18 Apertura and Clausura tournaments.
Fans can join the conversation on Twitter via @UnivisionSports , Facebook.com/UnivisionDeportes and Instagram via @UnivisionDeportes. Liga MX matches will be available via the Univision Deportes app for which authentication is required: fans are encouraged to download the app for iOS and/or Android. Liga MX matches will also be available online via UnivisionDeportes.com, Univision's livestreaming platform Univision Now as well as Univision Deportes' national sports radio network, Univision Deportes Radio.

All students are intelligent. Even if they struggle with a certain topic, they can still handle go through the courses if they just learn how to focus on homework. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. "I can t focus on homework" is one of the most common complaints that students have when they come to essay writing services. They need professional writers to provide assistance with assignments not because they are not capable to write the content, but because they lose focus once they start working on it.
This is a problem, and it requires a lot of work to be fixed. The papers won't get written by themselves. You have to learn how to focus, so you'll start handling one homework assignment after another. Ultimately, you'll become a better student and you'll graduate on time. Isn't that what we're all striving for?
This guide will help!
The Main Tip on How to Stay Focused on Homework in College: Understand Why You're Doing This
Why did you apply to college or university? Was it because you need this degree for the career path you chose? Was it because you wanted to focus on higher education as the foundation of a more fulfilled life? Was it because you didn't know what to do with your life after high school, so you thought that college would open many doors for you?
You had a reason for applying. When you got accepted, you were thrilled to have this opportunity, weren't you? Well, now you have to use it well.
Homework is part of the process. Professors don't assign it because they want to annoy you. They are measuring your knowledge and progress through these assignments. If the grade was based solely on exams, it would be much harder for you to work towards a high GPA. With progressive homework assignments, you get constant chances to improve your academic record. Isn't that an opportunity to be grateful for?
- You got into college because you wanted to achieve a goal. Remind yourself of that goal whenever you get a new homework assignment.
- Instead of thinking "I can t concentrate on homework," try changing your mindset: "I want to focus on this assignment" is a much better approach. You must try to inspire yourself!
- If you really cant focus on homework, remember: there's always a solution. If you don't complete it on time or you don't write it well, you can always hire a professional writer or editor to help. The important thing is to try completing the content yourself before you do that!
Practical Tips: How to Get Focused on Homework
- Make a Plan!
Let's say you have three academic writing assignments to handle this week. You also have to take classes and study a bit. Needless to say, you'll also want to rest, exercise, and spend some time with your friends. Having a balanced lifestyle is important when you're at college.
But how do you manage with all these tasks on your list?
- Make a plan! Use a to-do app on your phone to note down the deadline for each homework assignment you get. Then, plan how you'll fit all stages of completion within the free time you have.
- Learn how to make priorities! Some assignments are urgent and super important. Those are the ones you want to tackle first. Some are urgent, but not that important. You'll work on them after you complete the urgent and important assignments. Then, you'll focus on less urgent and important homework; and finally, you'll plan to complete the less urgent and less important projects.
- Organize Your Study Area
You like doing your homework while sitting on the sofa with the laptop in your lap? Yes, it's called a laptop, but it doesn't mean that you should be strictly using it that way. In fact, you'll be much more focused in proper working conditions.
Set up a study area in a brightly-lit corner, preferably next to a window, so you'll get both natural light and fresh air. Get a simple desk and a comfortable chair. Arrange all studying materials, such as textbooks, notebooks, paper, and pens.
The mere look on this area will help you get into the proper mindset.
- Stay Away from Distractions
So you get great ideas on how to complete this assignment. You sit in front of your computer and you tell yourself: "I'm going to get this written by the deadline!" You start with enthusiasm, but you get lost somewhere along the way. Suddenly, you find yourself scrolling down your Instagram feed for hours.
You have to become aware of this time-wasting habit. Online distractions are preventing you from giving your best to the studies. Install distraction blockers on your browser, so you won't be able to access social media while writing homework.
- Tell People Not to Disturb You
If your parents or friends call or message you while writing homework, do not answer. If they insist, tell them that you're busy and you'll get back to them later.
If you get interrupted in the middle of a creative flow, it will be really hard for you to get back at what you were doing.
- Observe Your Productivity Patterns
Some people are really productive in the morning. If that's the case, then you should go to bed on time and wake up really early to work on your homework. If that doesn't work for you, you should try writing homework late at night.
Everyone has their unique productivity pattern. Find yours and plan your schedule in accordance with it!
Just Focus!
There are many different ways to focus on homework. The main change you have to make, however, is in your own mindset. Remind yourself why you got into college and how important these assignments are.
When working on an assignment, you always learn new things. You learn how to organize your thoughts, and you progress towards the perfect structure of the content. Plus, you're working on your writing skills. Homework is practically making you a better student! When you realize that, it will be easier to focus.

THURSDAY, Jan. 16, 2020 (HealthDay News) — There has been a decrease in the risk for coronary artery disease among adult survivors of childhood cancer, according to a study published online Jan. 15 in The BMJ.
Daniel A. Mulrooney, M.D., from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, and colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study at 27 institutions involving 23,462 five-year survivors (26.4, 39.9, and 33.6 percent treated in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, respectively). Participants had been diagnosed with leukemia, brain cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, renal tumors, neuroblastoma, soft tissue sarcomas, and bone sarcomas before age 21 years.
The researchers found that in most recent eras, there was a decrease in the 20-year cumulative incidence of heart failure (0.69, 0.74, and 0.54 percent for those treated in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, respectively) and coronary artery disease (0.38, 0.24, and 0.19 percent, respectively). The risk for heart failure, coronary artery disease, and valvular heart disease decreased for survivors with a diagnosis in the 1980s and 1990s versus the 1970s, with the decrease only significant for coronary artery disease (hazard ratios, 0.65 and 0.53, respectively). The overall risk for coronary artery disease was attenuated after adjustment for cardiac radiation, especially for survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma.
"Efforts to modify cancer therapies in children and promote health surveillance for survivors are beginning to show benefits not only in overall survival but also in late adverse cardiac effects," the authors write.

When the write succeeds, we now update the "mtime" of the local cached data from the resulting file attributes, and _really_ really bad things happen if somebody else has happened to write to the file just before we wrote to it.In short, the above will update "mtime" to a new time _without_ guaranteeing that no changes have taken place in the file between the two dates. Your logic is that "WE changed the file, thus we don't need to invalidate", but the case may be that "WE AND SOMEBODY ELSE changed the file".Now, the above patch will result in us not necessarily flushing the cache_ever_ even if it's full of data that is stale. That's a lot worse than thecurrent behaviour, where we don't flush the cache immediately, but we doflush it eventually when it times out. The current behaviour is at leastcorrect (according to NFS specs you can cache read data for some time), thepatch introduces a bug (and your comment about calling "getattr()" beforeeach write is equally broken - you _cannot_ make the race window go away, andit's fundamental to the whole NFSv2 design).

William N. Sauer was born in old Allegheny, now the North Side of Pittsburgh on February 11, 1858, at the time city sewage systems were first introduced in the nation. It was a time of stress and change as America was still recovering from the Civil War. On his 18th birthday, he received a gift of $50 from his mother. He used it to start a small plumbing business – the foundation of the business known today as Sauer Incorporated.
In 1906 Bill Sauer met John G. Steitz, a young pump salesman from New York. These two men joined forces and began to specialize in large construction work. It soon became accepted practice to design the water supply systems of a building in close coordination with its heating system – leading Sauer Company into the heating field as well.
Sauer was incorporated in 1943. In addition to Pittsburgh, Sauer has offices in Columbus, OH and Jacksonville Florida and currently is engaged in providing services in Design/Build, HVAC, Process Piping, Controls & Instrumentation, Service, Equipment Erection & Rigging, Plumbing, Fabrication, Subcontracted Services and ASME Code work.
Mr. Jack Ruthrauff founded Ruthrauff in 1934 when he opened a refrigeration equipment distribution & service company. He branched out into the air conditioning field in the mid 1950s when Mr. Nick Laux joined the company, forming Ruthrauff Incorporated. Ruthrauff purchased Coleman-Good, Inc, a well-established plumbing firm in 1969. Mr. Laux and Mr. Ruthrauff had set a goal to become a complete mechanical contractor and the purchase of Coleman Good Inc. gained them entrance into the plumbing field. Operations of both companies were consolidated into one location in McKees Rocks in 1971. Coleman-Good merged into Ruthrauff Incorporated at the end of 1985 and Ruthrauff Inc. was established.
During the ensuing years Ruthrauff opened its own sheet metal and pipe fabrication shops. An in-house engineering staff provided both design and construction services and contributed to the extensive resume of design/build work that includes HVAC and Plumbing projects for a wide variety of commercial, industrial and institutional clients.
Beginning in 1989, a group of key employees, led by David & Nora Faller, acquired ownership of Ruthrauff Inc. as Mr. Laux gradually phased out. All facets of engineering, project management and accounting were computerized and networked and the corporate structure streamlined into a single entity with a focus on being "The Single Source Advantage" to its customers.
In 2006, Sauer Holdings, owned by Bill, Charlie and Tim Steitz, acquired Ruthrauff Inc., creating two new companies: Ruthrauff | Sauer, LLC and Ruthrauff Service, LLC.
Under John Sloan, a 40+ year veteran of the mechanical service industry, Ruthrauff Service, LLC. is now one of the largest and most diversified mechanical service firms in Western Pennsylvania.
In 2011 a new company, Sauer Building Solutions, Inc. was created to expand our service capabilities to other areas of the country.
Sauer Building Solutions acquired HVAC Technology Inc. in Charlotte, NC. This latest acquisition allows us to service all of North Carolina with the same capabilities as our Pittsburgh, PA location. At the same time, Sauer Technical Services, Columbus, OH became a part of this growing group. In 2016, we acquired Eneco East, Greenville, NC. This new acquisition allows us to service the entire state of NC.

BAYOG Playlist|More Summer Jams — 2020 Releases
Hey BAYOG Fam! I'm here trying to cram in as many summer jams for ya as I can before summer is officially over haha~ As you know, I've been doing [summer themed] [Music Monday] posts. If you follow my BAYOG Playlists, you also know that I have my original [BAYOG|Summertime Vibes] playlist. It's just basically a music dump of any songs that give me summer vibes. It could be like it literally sounds like summer, brings up summer, sounds like it could be the soundtrack of a summer montage, etc. It's fun stuff, chill stuff, dance stuff, and stuff from all sorts of genres. Anyway, you might not know this, but I do constantly add to my playlists. Today, I thought I'd share some 2020 track releases~ I'll keep it simple though (for real this time). As usual, my playlists consist mostly of K-Pop. However, K-Pop as an umbrella term of Korean music. I have all sorts of genres, vibes, and sounds for ya.
You can find my BAYOG|Summertime Vibes playlist, here:
Like their song [Dance The Night Away], this track screams summer. However, it's a different type of summer vibe and sound. It's fun and colorful, but I feel like this has a more mature vibe than "Dance The Night Away".
As usual, Jay Park also released an [English Version]. I tend to prefer the Korean versions though.
I actually like this so much more than [Birthday]. I feel like it suits her so much better. This song slaps. Also, I think it's hilarious that Somi and [Teddy] came up with "What You Waiting For" because they were waiting for some fried chicken and tacos. LMAO. What a mood though.
XYDO(시도)|SNAPSHOT(Feat. VIINI(권현빈))
I randomly discovered this on Spotify and fell in love with it. It features VIINI, aka Kwon Hyun Bin. Random fact: Seojun from the True Beauty webtoon is based on VIINI. He was also originally considered for the role upcoming live action drama. Anyway, it's one of my favorite songs of the year. Xydo sings about liking someone so much and constantly taking pictures to show them what he sees and likes. He then sings about how he really wants to see her and is rushing over to see her. I think it's cute AF. It's sweet and romantic.
XYDO(시도)|BETTING (Feat. pH-1)
I seriously fell in love with this dude's music. I was even more stoked to find out he featured [pH-1].
I love JUNE. I love his R&B tracks. It was interesting to see him sing something a bit different. This is such a fun, sweet, and funky track that has a summer feel to it still.
My image of Eric Nam is a pop/ballad singer. Because that's what I usually hear from him. So I was kind of surprised to hear this track. It's actually pretty catchy.
GOOSEBUMPS|SOMEWHERE (Feat. GRAY, HOODY, ELO & DEVITA)
A fresh summer track from the AOMG fam. I like the beat and how it's not like there's too much going on. It's like chill, but still upbeat and fun. Plus, I love Gray, Hoody, and ELO. So WOOOO! MV lowkey freaks me out though…
She was a member of Ladies' Code. I like that this is a summery and tropical track, but it's also still kind of soft and sweet vibes.
KARD always has great summer tracks. Especially because their music has alot of Latin flavor with alot of [tropical house and moombahton]. I like that this is one of their more kind of chill songs, and it has more reggae kind of flavor to it.
ROTHY(로시)|OCEAN VIEW (Feat.CHANYEOL(찬열))
It's another more chill and sweet kind of tracks. Rothy has a beautifully sweet and cute voice. This track also features Chanyeol of EXO.
SUNMI(선미)| 보라빛 밤 (pporappippam)
Sunmi was one of my biases in [Wonder Girls]. Apparently the title means, "purple hued night". This track is a retro sounding track. Also, there's a part in the track that I swear reminds me of Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, or The Legend of Zelda game music.
CHUNG HA(청하|PLAY (Feat. CHANGMO(창모))
It's an upbeat track from [Chung Ha] with alot of Latin flavor. It also features. Changmo~
I don't really listen to Kang Daniel. I just know he's popular, and he's dating TWICE's Jihyo. This is a fun moombahton track though.
Apparently his name is Kim Yonghyun and he's from BOYS24. Apparently he was also a back-up dancer for BTS too.
I know nothing about her. However, I think it's a great moombahton track. I just randomly stumbled her through YT recs. However, I really love the line, "I love you, but I love me more."
She's a member of Gugudan. I don't really know much about her or gugudan, but she has a lovely and sweet voice. It's not a super chill song, but it feels calming to me.
The vocals are nice. It's got this airy tropical feel with some moombahton.
Okay…unpopular opinion, but I personally wasn't a big fan of this track. However, I know it was a big deal because it was a collab between Blackpink and Selena Gomez. I know it's super popular with hella views too. So I drop it for y'all even if I'm not a fan of it. The MV is super colorful and has cute aesthetics though. Lisa looks amazing as usual, especially paired with her charisma. I think Rose looks stunning. Jisoo looked pretty too. Jennie looked nice too, I liked her pastel eye shadows. I actually kind of liked her blonde wig look? My only other thing is it's awks that they key choreo is the same key choreo from Red Velvet's [Ice Cream Cake]. I get that it's by the same choreographer. However, it's still a bit awkward to have the same dance move for a song with a similar concept.
That's it. Enjoy the tracks. Feel free to check out the full playlist. I'm pretty sure it's like almost 800 songs at the moment. You can check out some other BAYOG playlists I have for the summer too: [Feelin' So Energetic], [K-Pop Deep House/Tropical House/Moombahton], and [Summer Vibes – Chill/Groove Edition]. What was your favorite summer or 2020 summer-esque track?

AS A GROUP OF BIPOC, BAYOG strongly stands with Black Lives Matter. We've individually done several donations. Of course, donations to support the cause and support change isn't the only thing needed. Support for the cause and change also requires conversation. Make sure to have those conversations. Aside from donating, I had several conversations with my family. I explained things to my parents, especially since some news stories were being reported inaccurately. I was afraid it'd be a bit difficult. However, as fellow BIPOC and human beings, it was a necessary conversation. My parents and grandma understand, and now stand on the same page regarding BLM as well. Please remember to be an active supporter, be it through donations, sharing information, and/or conversations and speaking up.
If you can, please consider donating. I've donated more than once as well. For one of my donations, I donated through the BTS ARMY x BLM project. I recommend that if you're unsure of where to donate. This is because the donation will be split amongst several different non-profit organizations. Of course, you can also choose a specific organization(s) if you wish as well. You can find that [HERE].

Stay strong. Fight racism, brutality, injustice, and bullshit. Don't lose sight of the goal. We're witnessing and being a part of history. Be allies and make sure change happens. Once again, BLACK LIVES MATTER.

"Here is Candidate Barack Obama captured in a moment while watching the election returns coming in. I painted this in watercolor because I wanted to have a nice painting of him to hang on my wall. Later, of course, I discovered that many other people felt the same way. I have sold prints of this, and more are available." By Mimi Boothby.

One month after revealing its new iPhone lineup, Apple will be back in action Thursday to show off its newest iPad(s).
The company is hosting a press event in Cupertino, which kicks off at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET and will be live-streamed to anyone who owns an Apple device. But PCMag will also be there, so be sure to check back for all the news.
Though Apple is still considered to be the tablet king (even kids think so), sales of the iPad have been slipping this year. Apple sold 13.3 million iPads during the most recent quarter, and while any major tablet maker would kill for numbers like that, sales were down from 16.3 million in the previous quarter and 26 million over the holiday quarter.
So, Apple is likely hoping for a repeat of last year's holiday season with whatever iPad upgrades it has up its sleeve. The question is, can it introduce anything spectacular enough to persuade shoppers to switch to iPad or upgrade their older devices?
We polled the PCMag staff to see what they want Apple to introduce tomorrow. Check that out in the slideshow, and add your own wish list in the comments below.

XV. Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities
FY 2000 Performance Plan - Revised Final FY 1999 Performance Plan
Eliminating Health Disparities in Adult Immunizations
The reduction in the incidence of vaccine-preventable disease is one of the most significant public health achievements of the past 100 years. The major factor in this success is the development and widespread use of vaccines, which are among the safest and most effective preventive measures. Billions of dollars are saved each year through the use of vaccines.
Older adults are at increased risk for many vaccine-preventable diseases. Approximately 90 percent of all influenza-associated deaths in the United States occur in people aged 65 and older, the fastest growing age group of the population. Reduction of deaths in this age group has been hindered in part by relatively low vaccine utilization. Immunization os one of the most cost-effective strategies to prevent needless morbidity and mortality. Each year, however, an estimated 45,000 adults die of infections related to influenza, pneumococcal infections, and hepatitis B despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines to prevent these conditions and their complications. In addition, the overall cost to society for vaccine-preventable diseases exceeds $10 billion each year.
There is a disproportionate burden of these diseases in ethnic populations. Although vaccination levels for pneumococcal infections and influenza among people 65 years and over have increased slightly for African-American and Hispanics, the coverage in these groups remains substantially below the general population and the year 2000 targets.
Performance Goals and Measures
Performance Goal: To achieve meaningful improvement in the lives of racial and ethnic populations who now suffer disproportionately from the burden of disease and disability. To develop the necessary tools and strategies that will enable the Nation to meet the far more challenging goal of eliminating these health disparities by the year 2010.
Performance Measure:
|FY Baseline
|FY 1999 Appropriated
|FY 2000 Estimate
|CDC, in collaboration with interagency workgroups, will develop a community planning RFA to fund communities to conduct planning activities for community-based demonstrations of prevention and service delivery interventions whose mission is to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities for Adult immunization. CDC will fund up to five community planning projects to improve adult immunization and eliminate racial and ethnic disparities.
|CDC will fund selected communities to implement interventions based on community planning activities. Grantees will collaborate with interagency content workgroups and community leaders to develop implementation and evaluation programs for selected community demonstration programs whose mission is to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities for the following focus areas: cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and infant mortality. The interagency workgroups will provide scientifically and socially substantiative assistance in the formulation of the implementation and evaluation plans. These plans will be culturally relevant and unique to each of the communities for which they are designed.
|Total Program Funding
Verification/Validation of Performance Measures: By the end of FY 1999, a RFA will be developed and community planning projects will be funded. In FY 2000, CDC will fund selected communities to implement interventions. Grantees will report on the development of implementation and evaluation plans which will be reviewed by CDC staff. FY 2000 measures will also be evaluated by site visits.
Links to DHHS Strategic Plan
These performance objectives are related to DHHS Goals 1: Reduce major threats to the health and productivity of all Americans. Development and implementation of the plan to Eliminate Ethnic Health Disparities is an inter-agency effort within DHHS. CDC will collaborate with other federal agencies in developing and implementing this initiative. Specific objectives for implementation of the initiative must be determined through a collaborative inter-agency process.

"...At the time I made the new painting I also made a chalk drawing of the same thing which was bought by Carl Nilman of Buckland, whose farm in Hog Hollow is the subject matter..."
This drawing was made from the oil painting A Winter Afternoon which was made from an earlier (possibly 1919), but technically imperfect, painting Woodward would eventually destroy.
This chalk drawing is owned by the Buckland Historical Society in Buckland, MA. The drawing can be seen, on display, in it's Upper Street location.
White Winter is another oil painting of the same house from a different vantage point.
The house in this drawing is the Nilman House which was also once owned by RSW's great, great grandfather Spencer Woodward. For more information about this house, please CLICK HERE.

FLY ME TO THE SAITAMA (2019) review
written by: Tomokazu Tokunaga (screenplay) and Mineo Maya (manga)
directed by: Hideki Takeuchi
rated: unrated
runtime: 107 min.
U.S. release date: March 12, 2019 (Asian Pop-Up Film Festival)
Some movies trigger me back to those middle school days when I was hanging out with some buddies after school and trying really hard to follow what they were saying and laugh along with whatever they found funny. Sometimes I got it, while other times I just stood there and nodded my head. Other times, one I got it, well I was right there with them, having a good old time. That's how I felt while watching most of Hideki Takeuchi's latest movie "Fly Me to the Saitama". I got the gist of the story, but it definitely was clear I would've benefited from knowing more about Japanese class culture than I did going into it (which was very little). For the most part, I was able to follow this imaginative comedy with its social commentary and eccentric characters and there's much to appreciate here. But overall, I was left feeling like I was still a little left out of the conversation. And that's okay.
I went in cold to this movie, like subzero level cold. Not only did I not know what the movie was about, I also had no clue who was starring in it or who directed it. I definitely did not know what, who or where is "Saitama". The first thing I thought of was meat substitute, but that's not right since that's spelled "saitan". It turns out, Saitama is a place – well, actually a prefecture.
Those who have lived in Japan or are more well-versed in the history or current events of Japan may know that Tokyo is made up of forty-seven prefectures, which is a district (property) under the government of a prefect (a chief office, a magistrate, or a governor) and one of those prefectures is called Saitama. Other prefectures are Ibaraki, Chiba, and Kanagawa, all three that are near Saitama and are mentioned in Takeuchi's movie. It should be noted that those who were born and bred in their respective prefectures typically have an immense amount of pride for where they're from, sometimes to the point of arrogance and prejudice towards people from other prefectures and much of that factors in to the story here. Thankfully, within the first ten minutes of the movie, there are geographic maps that identity locations and borders as a narrator (Mineo Maya, author of the 1980s Manga screenwriter Tomokazu Tokunaga is adapting here) catches us up on the past and present of Saitama and the outlying area.
From there the story focuses on Aimi Sugawara (Haruka Shimazaki), a young woman who is being driven by her mother, Maki (Kumiko Asô) and father, Yoshimi (Brother Tom) to her engagement party. They are in a hurry, talking over each other and arguing over petty things as they make their way to their destination in Tokyo. While in the car the radio is tuned to a station that is recounting in detail a time when residents of Saitama (and other prefectures that were looked down upon) were oppressed and had to get a visa if they wanted to travel to Tokyo where they were treated like lower-class plebeians who were forced to live in shacks and work menial jobs no one else wanted. At the same time, the comfortable citizens of the city felt like this provided them with sustainable living.
As the story set in 20th Century Japan (the 80s, basically) is being told, we learn that Takeuchi is about to tell what this family is listening to with an alternate universe approach, where we're placed in a historical fantasy environment. Herein lies much of the confusing part of the story. Following along with who's who and deciphering motivations felt like chasing my own tail.
If I recount this correctly, what occurs is as follows…
A mysterious male student named Rei Asami (Gackt) transfers to Hakuhodo Academy, a prestigious high school in Tokyo. He is tall with long purple hair and sculpted cheekbones, which leads to swooning girls everywhere he walks. It is said he had spent some time studying abroad in America, which would attribute to his High Index (Don't ask. It was lost on me). He attracts the attention and adoration (love that seems like it comes from nowhere)from the mayor's grandson, Momomi (Fumi Nikaido), who looks like a girl (and is portrayed by an actress) and is being described as effiminate – yet I wasn't buying it and the whole concept becomes quite distracing, pulling me out of the film as every other character refers to Momomi as "he/him/his". I understand we live in a time where self-proclaiming pronouns are a thing, but this was hard to buy.
As it becomes clear that Rei has some revolutionary ideas about individualism, freedom and a society free of class restrictions, it also is revealed that he himself was born in Saitama Prefecture, a region everyone has looked down upon. This is shocking to Momomi, but since Rei made such an impact on him (offering a new outlook on life after being humbled and kissed by Rei) apparently, he decides to flee with this inspiring figure as he rounds up an army of fellow revolutionaries to fight (physically and figuratively) for Saitama's rights to coincide equally with Tokyo and the other prefectures.
Most of "Fly Me to the Saitama" takes place in this historical fantasy world and when it checks in with the Sugawara family it's kind of like when Peter Falk was reading to a young Fred Savage, with Aimi second-guessing the story and mostly brushing it off as a "boys love" story and what she's saying isn't too far removed from what Takeuchi is doing with this adaptation. Most of the movie feels like its paying homage to something else. Which is quite obvious at times, like in the last twenty minutes when a riff on John Williams' "The Throne Room and End Title" is used.
Overall, "Fly Me to the Saitama" is broadly entertaining with some fun, playing-to-the rafters performances, as well as great productions values. While there are some interesting themes of discrimation and individualism, the story never really elevates to captivate beyond these themes. Most of the time it feels entirely too busy and all over the place to really make it anything more than that. But hey, at least I learned a thing or two about Saitama. Currently, this movie is killing it at the box office in Japan (so is "Green Book"), so what do I know?
"Fly Me to the Saitama" opened the 8th Season of Sophie's Choice Asian Pop-Up Cinema at AMC River East and you can found out more about the festival here.

This is completely wrong. Please do some more research on Japan. Saitama, China, and Ibaraki are separate prefectures to Tokyo – they are all part of the Kanto region, but not part of Tokyo!

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell called a homicide investigation over the weekend "heart-wrenching."
Five children -- from the ages of two weeks to 14 years old -- were home when Christopher Timmons shot and killed their mother, 32-year-old Darlene Yocum, Fornshell said.
Officers were first dispatched to a home on Stephens Road in Maineville about 10:25 p.m. Saturday for a woman not breathing. Their investigation revealed that Timmons shot Yocum inside their residence and fled the scene in a truck.
Amid the tragedy, Fornshell said he saw "tremendous acts of kindness" from first responders and neighbors. One man who live nearby opened up his home to the children, a firefighter prayed with one of the kids and a first responder's wife bought diapers for the infant in the middle of the night.
"I could not be prouder of how our public safety professionals and others showed love and compassion to five children in Hamilton Township this past Saturday night," Fornshell said in a Facebook post.
Timmons was taken into custody in Deerfield Township; he stands charged with reckless homicide, though Fornshell said he could face additional charges. Yocum was transported to Bethesda North Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Timmons is being held at the Warren County Jail.

It is inevitable that there will be times, days, or weeks where life is stressful. The truth is, the stresses in life will always be there, but they don't have to affect your quality of life. You can choose to look at the positive and learn ways to cope and transmute stress as it comes up.
Here are some ways I have found that help me deal with everyday stresses.
- Take one problem at a time.
- Categorize issues as they come up. Ask yourself, what can I do? Will worrying and stressing help this situation?
- Only deal with things you can change or do something about. If it is out of your control then let it go.
- Talk to your friends. They'll see the bigger picture so be open to their advice.
- Do not sit in solitude and run the same sequences though your head. Keep yourself focused on positive things going on in your life and go do them.
- Find solace in prayer. You do not have to be religious to pray. You can pray to the universe or in affirmations, as if what you are asking for has already been granted.
- Write down your ideal outcome for a situation to gain clarity. Let go of doubt and let your ideal outcome be so.
- Maintain routines for meals, sleep, and exercise. Nourishing your body with good foods, getting adequate sleep, and staying active.
- Make it a rule to let go of the day after 8 p.m. or before dinner. Do not dwell on problems after a certain time of the day.
- Breath, walk, hug, laugh, cry, be present, and surrender.

As a high school or undergraduate Mathematics teacher, you can use this set of computer-based tools to help you in teaching introductory differential calculus and specifically about polynomial and logistic differentiation and the use of the Quotient (or Product) Rule.
The derivative at different points of a differentiable function (Image: Wikipedia)
This lesson plan will allow you to teach polynomial and logistic differentiation using a hands-on computer-based classroom activity that includes wind energy production data of several countries from 1980 to 2016. In the context of global warming due to carbon emissions from fossil fuel, harnessing a clean renewable source of energy like wind power is increasing across the globe and can provide a potential solution to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
This activity includes a set of inquiry-based questions that will enable your students to apply their understanding of polynomial and logistic differentiation and apply the Quotient (or Product) Rule to describe the rates of increase of wind energy production over time in countries such as China, Spain, USA, and the World.
Use this lesson plan to help your students find answers to:
- What are differentiating functions?
- Describe polynomial and logistic differentiation using examples.
- How has the rate of global wind energy production changed since 1980?
- How do the rates of wind energy production in select countries (from the given datasets) differ from that of the World?
- Define a function for the rate of increase of the World's wind energy production to meet its entire energy requirement.

Here is a step-by-step guide to using this lesson plan in the classroom/laboratory. We have suggested these steps as a possible plan of action. You may customize the lesson plan according to your preferences and requirements.
Step 1: Topic introduction and discussion
- Use the teaching module, 'Differentiation Rules' by OpenStax, Rice University, to teach differentiating functions, differentiation rules, and polynomial or logistic differentiation.
- Navigate to the sub-sections within the module to explain the types of differentiating functions and the application of the Quotient or Power Rule.
- Use the in-built practice exercises and quizzes to evaluate your students' understanding of the topics.
Step2 : Extend understanding
- Use the classroom activity, 'Wind Energy by Selected Countries and World' from Sustainability Math by Thomas J. Pfaff, Professor of Mathematics, Ithaca College, USA, to enable your students to apply their understanding of polynomial or logistic differentiation using datasets from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
- This classroom activity includes datasets of several countries' wind energy production (including the World's cumulative data) from 1980 to 2016. This data is provided in an Excel spreadsheet.
- The classroom activity also includes a Word document that contains directions on how to use different mathematical methods on the data provided.
- It further includes questions that you may wish to use in your classroom to explain differentiating functions to initiate a discussion on the rate of increase in global wind energy production in several countries such as China, Spain, and USA in recent times.
- Direct your students to download the Excel file (with datasets) and the Word document (with directions to use the datasets and a set of questions to analyze the datasets).
- The documents also include datasets of several other countries that may be used for this activity.
- Proceed with the classroom activity and encourage your students to answer the questions by applying their understanding of differentiating functions and the Quotient (or Power) Rule.
- This activity also includes links to readings to help explain to your students the basics of wind energy production and its environmental impacts.
Step 3: Discuss further
Use the visualizations, 'Wind Power Plants by Capacity (MW)' by World Resources Institute (WRI) and 'Wind energy generation, 2018' by Our World in Data to discuss about the current capacity and distribution, and increase in capacity of global wind energy production for the years 1965-2018. Finally, discuss how the increase in the World's wind energy production could help reduce carbon emissions and mitigate global warming.

Competition gives incentive for self improvement. If two stores are selling the same product at the same price then the store that gives the best service will get the sale most of the time. Not only does this benefit the store that does the best job, it We strive to do this in our market place. If I loose sales to a competitor I'm not going to go crying to someone that shouldn't be allowed to sell the same products as me. I'm going to figure out why they're outselling me and the replicate what they're doing better.
Consumers in Portland, Oregon, as well as the rest of the country, deserve the best service and selection possible. They don't deserve to have their choices limited because one store views natural competition as unfair.

Apparently it was the traditional Viking practice to wait until launching day of each Operation Rape & Pillage before affixing the dragon heads to the bows of their long ships. Modern Norway's largest replica Viking ship, the DRAKEN HARALD, began its transatlantic voyage yesterday but press photos circulated to promote the event featured a headless ship instead of a fearsome surface raider. The Vikings were pioneers of exported extortion and exploitation, though apparently they lagged behind on fearmongering propaganda. Just kidding. The dragehode was the original Shock and Awe. The berserker reputation preceeded the Vikings, literally, as the prow of their ship hit shore.
Norwegian reenactors will be rowing the Draken Harald to the New World anew. This time to visit with the Vikings of this age. Gluttons, slavers, and despoilers of an exponentially vast scale. The replica ship is heralded as the world's largest, but it's tiny next ships of today, including those belonging to many of today's celebrated chieftans which they call yachts.
Here's the itinerary of the Draken Harald vikings, crossing the Atlantic as friendship ambassadors.
