It was two weeks ago that I really began to understand that COVID-19 was going to have life-changing effects on our newsroom.
Almost anytime there is a major event that impacts all of us, the effects on journalists are two-fold. First, and it usually does come first, we think of our role as journalists: How will we cover this? What information do people need? What stories must be told? How can we help our readers? Second, we feel the impact as humans, with the same concerns and anxieties as everybody else.
When I first began to think about changing some internal protocols because of the virus, the discussion was met with some polite skepticism in the newsroom. People understood why we were having the conversation, but no one was feeling too concerned.
We had a meeting of TH department heads and began to formulate a plan for staff logistics: who could work from home, what the IT needs were, whose job required them to stay in the building. At that first meeting, it still felt fairly hypothetical, and we had the discussion sitting elbow to elbow around a conference room table.
Every day after that, the gravity of the news pulled harder. Because we believe our first obligation is to inform the public in times of crisis, we decided we needed to lift the paywall on all coronavirus content to make our stories available to everyone, whether or not they subscribe.
On March 15, Managing Editor Dustin Kass told the news team to come with ideas the next day, ready to map out a coverage plan for the week. That day we moved the meeting from our usual conference room to a bigger space down the hall with chairs spread out. We talked for an hour and Dustin came away with a list of more than 30 stories we could pursue over time, and a game plan for the next week.
Once restaurants and bars closed to dine-in traffic, Dustin suggested we try to help out small local businesses by running a list of restaurants that had altered their business model to carry-out and curbside delivery. We thought that would provide a nice service for readers and an opportunity to lift up some of our local small businesses. They are the lifeblood of our communities.
At the same time, we began to move employees out of our building at Eighth and Bluff. Our department heads meetings to discuss the topic had moved to videoconference. By late last week, nearly everyone was gone except some of circulation, a few in accounting, most of editorial and IT. The next step was to spread out editorial employees throughout our building, since we are the biggest group with 35-plus working journalists. We stuck folks in offices and corners to disperse us so that people could isolate and avoid any close contact. Several members of our staff are working from home as well.
Reporters have spent more time working the phones, sending emails and video conferencing than they usually do. We suspended efforts to get videos of key sources for most stories in an effort to spare our staff and our sources of that proximity. We imposed a rule that reporters and photographers should do their work in public spaces and outdoors, avoiding going into anyone's home. That makes it harder to tell stories — particularly when home is exactly where most people are, but we're trying to take precautions.
It's that balance of trying to be cautious but not overly cautious so as to limit our folks' ability to do their jobs — jobs that are more important than ever — that is so challenging.
When (and these days it's when, not if) I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, I sometimes find myself thinking about Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds. I think that on a much broader scale, she is facing a similar balance — protecting people without putting unnecessary restraints on citizens and their ability to live, work and play. I know that those decisions must weigh heavily on her, and I feel for her.
I don't have the weight of 3 million constituents on my shoulders, but I do care deeply about the people I work with and the readers we serve. We will continue to adjust and revise our gameplan, and we have plans for getting out newspapers even if all our journalists have to work from home. I hope you won't mind lots of photos of Dave Kettering's backyard, if it comes to that. Knowing him, they'd still be pretty good photos.
We plan to be here to help you through this. That's our job. I hope that as new readers access our reporting during this difficult time, they will see that we are serving this community in a way that no one else does. We're a small business that needs support, too, you know. Together, we'll persevere.

Happy Birthday, Riva!
Happy birthday to our top Bagel Shop chef Riva Portnaja! Thank you for the delicious treats you make and for preserving the Litvak culinary heritage.
We will always think of you as you are, beloved, friendly, with your sweet and comforting smile, exuding youth from the depths of your soul.
Thank You
Lithuanian Jewish Community chairwoman wants to thank Bagel Shop Café director Dovilė Rūkaitė and senior cook Riva Portnaja for their wonderful idea to hold a Litvak culinary luncheon with a delegation from the Taube Jewish Heritage Tours with partial support from the Ethnic Minorities Department, and for their tireless enthusiasm in promoting and passing on the Litvak Jewish culinary heritage. Thank you to Taube delegation leader and Ashkenazi cooking expert Jeffrey Yoskowitz and to all the volunteers and guests who made this event so much fun. It was good to sit down together at a shared table and it was very delicious.
Sukkot Celebration with Guests from America and Baked Gefilte Herring
It's long been the tradition during SUkkot to set up a booth, invite guests and treat them to various family recipes. While they say there is no traditional Sukkot dish, it does seem to be characteristic to make things which are stuffed and rolled, like the Torah scroll. Stuffed cabbage and filled pancakes are popular.
Ashkenazi cooking expert Jeffrey Yoskowitz visited the Lithuanian Jewish Community on the first day of Sukkot and made select dishes from the Litvak culinary legacy. Guests–loves of Litvak cooking–joined in and for every dish there were multiple stories and recollections from childhood. There was even a dispute on the correct form cut carrots should take.
Jeffrey Yoskowitz is leading a Taube Jewish Heritage Tours tour currently in Lithuania. He and Dovilė from the Bagel Shop Café had a long discussion on which dishes to include in cooking workshops. In the end they arrived at the solution of Litvak exceptionalism: to select the dishes which Polish Jews don't make and which are unknown to the American Jewish community.
European Day of Jewish Culture in Šeduva September 15
A lesson on how to bake traditional challa bread will be held at 3:00 P.M. on September 15 at the Šeduva Crafts and Culture Center located at Vilniaus street no. 1 in Šeduva. Chefs from the Bagel Shop Café will share the secrets of traditional Litvak holiday customs and cuisine.
Focus on Cuisine and History at European Day of Jewish Culture Events
VILNIUS, September 1, BNS–Events were held to celebrate European Day of Jewish Culture in Vilnius on the first Sunday in September. Tours of the Lithuanian capital, lectures and authentic Jewish cuisine were offered to the public.
The events program included Jewish music in the Vilnius Old Town–the old Jewish Quarter–and restaurants offering authentic Jewish foods.
"Jewish cuisine is an inalienable part of Jewish culture, Jewish tradition and Jewish heritage. Jewish cuisine is a prerequisite part of any Jewish holiday," Lithuanian Jewish Community projects director Dovilė Rūkaitė told BNS.

LJC Celebrates 20th European Day of Jewish Culture in Vilnius Old Town
The Lithuanian Jewish Community celebrated the 20th European Day of Jewish Culture in the traditional Jewish Quarter of Vilnius September 1 with song, dance and food. The weather was beautiful. Restaurants in the Vilnius Old Town feature Jewish foods with traditional breakfast served at the Bagel Shop Café, restaurants and cafés on Žydų and Stiklių streets and other locations. DJs RafRaf, Akvilina and Marius Šmitas provided dance music with a 10-hour musical program at the Amadeus Bar.
LJC chairwoman Faina Kukliansky greeted celebrants and Vidmantas Bezaras, director of the Cultural Heritage Deparment, and Vida Montvydaitė, director of the Department of Ethnic Minorities, also spoke, noting there is no town or village in Lithuania without some sign of a Jewish presence. Vida Montvydaitė said this isn't just Jewish heritage, it's Lithuania's legacy, and protecting it is becoming ever more important.
The writer Kristina Sabaliauskaitė spoke about her childhood memories of the Jews who still lived in central Vilnius then and with whom she made lasting friendships. She says interpersonal relationships are still one of the most important things in life to her.
Sabbath in the Jewish Quarter September 1
The Lithuanian Jewish Community invites you to come celebrate the 20th annual European Day of Jewish Culture, "Sabbath in the Jewish Quarter," in the Vilnius Old Town on September 1.
World-renowned writer Chaim Grade called the Vilnius Old Town the Jewish Quarter ca. 1930, and wrote: "Long Fridays of Summer. The housewives go to the bakery to shop for Saturday: they buy dry bagels, dark cookies and pastries with poppy seeds, small little cakes with powdered sugar…" (from his Der shtumer minyen, or Silent Minyan).
On Sunday, September 1, restaurants and cafés located in the Vilnius Jewish Quarter will present a menu of Jewish dishes, Jewish music will play and there will be lectures and tours. LJC chairman Faina Kukliansky will open ceremonies with a welcome speech at 12 noon. Saulius Pilinkus will MC and new Israeli ambassador to Lithuania Yossi Avni Levy, Lithuanian Cultural Heritage Department head Vidmantas Bezaras and Lithuanian Ethnic Minorities Department director Vida Montvydaitė will also welcome participants.
European Day of Jewish Culture Events in Vilnius
Sabbath in the Jewish Quarter, a lost tradition where every Friday evening the Jewish family sat down at the dinner table together, lit the candles, prayed and broke bread, followed by a day of rest on Saturday, and the beginning of the new week on Sunday.
Let's rediscover the ferment, history, tastes, smells and melodies of the Jewish Quarter on the European Day of Jewish Culture.

We send our sincerest condolences to the Bagel Shop café's Valentina Kot-Osipian on the death of her beloved mother. We wish the family strength in this time of difficulty.
Lithuanian Jewish Community
On the Closure of the LJC and Choral Synagogue for an Indeterminate Period
The continual, escalating publicly-expressed desire by one political party for recognizing perpetrators of the mass murder of the Jews of Lithuania as national heroes and the demand these people be honored with commemorative plaques and by other means, as well as the public call to attend protests to defend this shameful position on August 7 not only divide Lithuanian society, but actively set factions against one another.
Anti-Semitic comments and inscriptions which are posted to social media pages of political parties and their leaders are being tolerated and go unpunished (even calling the Christian Mary "Jew-girl"), which makes us wonder even more whether we are safe or not.
The Lithuanian Jewish Community has received threatening telephone calls and letters in recent days. In this atmosphere of rising tension and incitement to more tension, neither the LJC nor the synagogue in Vilnius have the means to insure the safety of visitors, including Holocaust survivors and their families.
We underline the fact that up to the present time we have not seen any reaction by any institution to the escalating discord. We would like to hear the opinion of the leaders of Lithuania and to hear a firm position on whether public propaganda in favor of honoring Holocaust perpetrators will continue to be tolerated in Lithuania.
In order to insure the safety of members of the community and worshipers and without any indication that the proponents of this escalating provocation will be called to disciple or account publicly, in cases where the law provides for this, the LJC has been forced to make the painful but unavoidable decision to close the LJC building and the Choral Synagogue in Vilnius for an indeterminate period.
We are also requesting additional security be provided at the Jewish cemetery on Sudervė road in Vilnius to prevent vandalism.
The LJC will adopt future decisions based on the general atmosphere and the positions adopted and expressed by Lithuanian political leaders regarding these issues.
Faina Kukliansky, chairwoman

Enchanting Pflaumen-Tzimmes
Bagel Shop Café cooks have been sharing some of the secrets of Litvak cooking this summer with the managers of a small restaurant in Merkinė, Lithuania, called Šilo kopa. They've been making bagels, herring and pflaumen-tzimmes together.
Pflaumen-tzimmes is a stew made of plums and beef often made for the Sabbath table and Rosh Hashanah.
Bagel Shop Café cook Riva remembers this dish well and still makes it according to a simple recipe: about 1.5 kilograms of beef (from the forequarter), bone, about 15 to 20 plums, about 1.5 kg of potatoes and 1 onion, which is later removed. Laurel leaves aren't required, only salt. The flavor is enhanced by several tablespoons of caramelized sugar added at the end.
The beef is boiled with the onion for about 2 hours, the onion is removed, the plums are added for about an hour and later the potatoes. When everything has been boiled sufficiently, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquefied caramelized sugar.
Milk and Cheese Treats on Shavuot
We celebrate the holiday of Shavuot on June 9 and 10. June 8 is the eve before the holiday, and the entire night is dedicated to studying the Oral and Written Torah. The Torah is read out on this night.
Shavuot is an old holiday of pilgrimage and its rituals add cohesion to the community. During the holiday, a series of milk and cheese dishes are prepared and sampled. The king among them is the classic cheese pie. In Lithuania as in other European Jewish communities pancakes with cheese are popular. During the holiday in Israel, smaller cheese makers open their doors to visitors. Shavuot tourists are also invited to attend the Northern Cheese Pie Festival held now for its third year and children are taught how to milk cows and how to make butter from fresh milk.
This Sunday the Choral Synagogue in Vilnius will celebrate with treats made by Shoshana, a mashgiach who came especially from Israel to cook for the Bagel Shop Café this year.
The Bagel Shop Café recommends making Shavuot breakfast from the best challa with cream cheese and berries.

Eurovision Viewing Party
For the first time ever the Lithuanian Jewish Community hosted a party to watch the Eurovision song contest on beanbags in the auditorium on the third floor. Attendees included LJC chairwoman Faina Kukliansky, Goodwill Foundation director Indrė Rutkauskaitė, Israeli ambassador to Lithuania Amir Maimon, veteran Lithuanian gay-rights activist Vladimiras Simonko, LJC projects director Dovilė Rūkaitė, Bagel Shop Café top chef Riva Portnaya and others.
Ambassador Maimon spoke, recalling earlier Eurovision events, and lamented he wouldn't be able to vote for Israel or Lithuania this time. He relayed he had just spoken by telephone with Lithuanian contestant Jurijus Veklenko in Tel Aviv and said the Lithuanian singer was very positive about his upcoming performance.
Faina Kukliansky said it would be a sad world if we were all the same and praised the mixed crowd at the viewing party, which included senior citizens, young Lithuanians and guests from abroad.
Eurovision at the Bagel Shop Café
Come watch the semifinals in the Eurovision song contest at the Bagel Shop Café in the Lithuanian Jewish Community. We're rooting for Jurijus Veklenko. This year the contest is being held in Israel and we'll be watching live, with a bar and Israeli snacks.
The fun starts at 8:30 P.M. on May 16 at Pylimo street no. 4 in Vilnius.
Bagel Shop Café Celebrates Purim with Hamentashen
The Bagel Shop Café has made a tradition out of offering Litvak-style hamentashen pastries on Purim and this year is no different. Purim, the 14th and 15th days of the month of Adar on the Jewish calendar, falls on March 20 and 21 this year. The Bagel Shop Café is located at Pylimo street no. 4 in Vilnius inside the Lithuanian Jewish Community but with its own street-level entrance.

Is Brampton's rapid transit growth coming to an end?
A year ago, Brampton Transit (BT) was grappling with a system that was stretched thin as ridership numbers continued to surge. Complaints were flooding in about overcrowding and late arrivals. BT was at a tipping point, and the 2019 budget planned for a cash influx over three years to help push BT over the hill. But it may have slipped in the wrong direction instead.
The 2020 budget has postponed a number of planned positions and projects for Brampton Transit, including a $135 million maintenance and storage facility, and 81 roles for 2020 — the large majority of which were for new drivers to help move around the growing number of residents relying on transit. It's a surprising decision, but one the city says is based on projections that fell short.
"Slower ridership growth was experienced in 2019 than was budgeted," stated the city in an emailed response. "Anticipated growth in 2020 over the 2019 actual ridership results will be accommodated within current service levels."
Despite the 14 percent budget bump, the city won't add any new transit hours in 2020, the first time service levels have been frozen in more than a decade. According to city staff, the extra money will cover initiatives once supported by the province and replace a reduction in gas tax funding. The city states, to deal with any growth in 2020, there are plans to re-allocate services on up to 15 percent of routes in order to meet the demand. "As a regular part of operations, the city will continue to monitor and respond to changes in demand for services, while balancing tax pressures on our residents," the city stated.
This had several councillors concerned during Monday's budget deliberations, including Regional Councillor Pat Fortini who questioned the elimination of 81 new positions, saying he is already observing overcrowding on routes during peak periods. Overcrowding on transit was also listed as an area for improvement by respondents to a Forum Research survey commissioned by the City of Brampton ahead of budget deliberations.
Regional Councillor Pat Fortini
"Solely as a transit person, we'd like all sorts of service hours, but reasonably when we put the corporate lens on all the pressures of the city, we feel that we can meet a lot of our demands by repurposing some routes," said Brampton Transit General Manager Alex Milojevic, who added the 14 percent increase is "just to keep the lights on."
The potential change to transit services also drew the attention of Regional Councillor Michael Palleschi, who requested that councillors be made aware of any route changes or cancellations within their wards.
Regional Councillor Michael Palleschi
While Brampton Transit has been serving residents for more than four decades, things have only really changed within the last 20 years.
The transit system expanded from 28 routes in 2001, of which only 11 offered Sunday service, to 50 routes in 2018 with 32 of them running seven days a week. Including Züm rapid transit, the GO shuttle, express and school routes, BT operates 70 routes in total and catered to 31 million riders in 2018. The expansion has been a sprint to keep up with rapidly increasing demand. In 2019, it was estimated that 40 percent of BT and Züm routes experienced overcrowding.
Following an 18 percent growth in ridership in 2017, followed by 14 percent in 2018, council poured funds into the transit system in the 2019 budget, adding 12 Züm buses to the fleet, along with 65 transit operators.
However, the end of the year was bittersweet for Brampton Transit. While the system ended the year with record transit usage of 31.9 million riders, and saw its busiest month on record with more than 3 million trips taken in September 2019, the growth was minimal. The influx of riders Brampton was planning for didn't come, resulting in only 2 percent ridership growth, the transit system's worst year since 2015.
For context, in the Greater Seattle area, the county's transit system, Sound Transit, was celebrated in early 2019 for absorbing the highest transit ridership increase in the United States, with 2.5 percent more riders choosing transit in 2018 than the year before.
So a ridership increase of 2 percent isn't bad. In fact, it's actually above the norm for transit systems in Ontario and Canada. However, it raises a problem for Brampton's budget. Many of the projections made for future years were based on this continuing growth, as well as funding from other levels of government, and when all of those things dry up, the city is left in a financial bind.
"The 2019 budget projected increases for Transit's budget in 2020 of $3.2 million including 81 new positions. This was based on a continuation of significant ridership revenue growth, doubling of the provincial gas tax and projected assessment growth increases of over 2 percent," the city stated. "This significant investment is required to address the province cancelling the doubling of the provincial gas tax, slower ridership growth in 2019 than forecast, and facing the economic reality of a decline in assessment growth."
In essence, the ground is shifting beneath the feet of Brampton Transit, and now city staff and councillors are left with some tough decisions, while public transit users are left to wonder what comes next.
"I shake my head sometimes only because they like to talk about ridership and how it's increasing, which it is and it's a good thing, but it's a bit frustrating they're not trying to, as far as the administration goes, not trying to increase the service hours," says Mark Sebamaalai, a Brampton resident, who commutes to his job in Mississauga via public transit. "Ideally, I wish they'd look at public transit users a bit more seriously because it's a good bulk of people."
As the city explained, projected growth in 2020 will be maintained within the existing level of service, but at the same time, users will pay slightly more to hop on the bus.
Modest fare increases will be seen across the board starting in April, with cash fares increasing 10 cents, adult and youth Presto fares increasing 5 cents, as well as small increases to weekly and monthly passes. The city will also be swallowing about $750,000 in lost revenue to allow seniors to ride for free.
And while Brampton may no longer see incredible growth in transit use, the city remains one of the fastest growing in the country. Now would be a good time for BT to prepare for growth and change that is certain to come.
In part, council is preparing for that inevitability with its dedicated transit levy. The additional 1 percent tax on residents' bills is expected to garner $9.6 million in 2020 growing to approximately $20 million in 2022. However, it will only be a fraction of the investment needed during that same period. The 81 staff initially planned for 2020 came with an $8.5 million price tag.
There are also many unknowns when it comes to future costs for transit. Currently, Brampton Transit is piloting an electric bus project that will see eight e-buses on the streets by the end of 2020 or early 2021 with assistance from the federal government. It's uncertain what the final impact could be if Brampton decides to push forward with more e-buses once the pilot ends, but what is certain is as climate change continues to influence decision-making, the costs of fuel will only continue to rise.
Aside from keeping fingers crossed and depending on other levels of government to reach out with a funding lifeline, the city also doesn't have much of a safety net when it comes to its transit projects.
Currently, Brampton's Transit Development Charge Reserve, a primary source for capital project funding, is in deficit and was pushed even further into the red in 2019 when the city took more than $10 million out of the exhausted reserve, pushing it to $48.2 million owing.
The rocky financing and unreliability of funding from other levels of government has led to the delay in the city's desperately needed transit maintenance and storage facility. A project that originally was set to see $135 million in funding this year, but has now been delayed until 2021 where it's now expected to put nearly $175 million worth of pressure on the city's finances.
Mayor Patrick Brown says the city is currently in the midst of trying to work out a deal with the federal government on the project, which is expected to come with a price tag as high as $250 million.

"There's been a little bit of tinkering because we're looking at electric buses and how that might change it, but we expect we're going to have a partnership with the federal government for that," he said.
If Brampton is able to incorporate electric buses and infrastructure in the new facility, this could be a game-changer for Brampton Transit, Milojevic says.
"There's huge opportunities," he says. "That would change the landscape of Brampton in meetings it emergency climate change (declaration)."
Putting reasons for the delay aside, there's no denying the facility is desperately needed, and the longer the project gets pushed out, the more it will handcuff Brampton Transit's growth.
Brampton currently has two depots, Sandalwood and Clark, capable of housing up to 510 vehicles. In order to avoid needless maintenance costs, idle buses need to be stored indoors when the temperature dips below zero, so storage capacity directly affects the number of buses the city can operate.
A 2015 report suggested that rising transit usage would mean both depots reach capacity by 2021, when Brampton Transit's ridership is expected to require at least 509 buses. The document, the city's Transit Master Plan, called for a third maintenance and storage facility to be built in the northeast part of the city for 2021 and a fourth in the southwest by 2028.
As Milojevic previously told The Pointer, federal and provincial funding was being sought in time for 2024.
Despite the three-year delay in developing a new facility and the strain this will cause current facilities and fleet, Milojevic expressed optimism about the ability to manage the growth.
"We feel fairly comfortable with our growth, comfortable that we can most likely accommodate [new buses] in our current two facilities — which would be overcapacity," Milojevic said. "There are [additional] areas in our facilities where we can actually store buses, as well as areas where we can potentially put in a portable hoist to accommodate extra buses overcapacity for a certain period of time."
The transit facility is not the only project delayed due to a lack of funding from other levels of government, the city says.
In fact, $32 million in projects was deferred from 2019 as a result of not receiving expected federal funding, the main source of which is the joint federal/provincial Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP). These projects include $100,000 for an emerging technologies study, $10 million for fare collection equipment and $5 million for smart buses. Brampton could again be facing similar delays in 2020 if the money doesn't flow.
"Transit's 2020-2022 capital program is also highly contingent on receiving ICIP funding and cannot proceed as planned without the federal and province governments fulfilling their commitments," the city states. "For example, Transit's 2020 capital budget requires ICIP funding of $57M, the 2021 capital budget requires $42M and the 2022 capital budget requires $46M. In addition, the Transit Maintenance and Storage Facility requires $128M in ICIP funding to proceed."
The delays in the ICIP have been well-documented, with both the feds and the province pointing the finger at one another as the party responsible for the delays. A 2019 report from the federal Parliamentary Budget Officer suggested that certain provincial governments (not led by Liberals) had been shortchanging cities by almost $5.4 billion since the launch of the ICIP.
"Clearly, it affected us substantially," Milojevic said. "It severely impacted us in terms of how we get to that infrastructure development and build to meet the demand…We're hoping that the province will be more responsive and reactive to getting projects approved."
With this uncertainty, the city would be smart to try and find alternative sources to fund needed transit projects, or redirect money away from unnecessary efforts.
For Sebamaalai, this could come from the number of road widening projects the city has planned. In 2021, the city will spend $58 million on the widening of Williams Parkway alone (that project was originally slated for this year).
"I think take that money and put it into buses because that's a return on investment that sees itself daily," he says. "How often do those roads really get congested? It's most just during rush hour times…six hours a day. After that you just see empty roads."
The city certainly does have a gridlock problem. Based on 2015 numbers, nearly 20 percent of vehicle trips taken in Brampton were on congested roads. Continued reliance on personal vehicles raises questions about how effective Brampton Transit is in creating a viable alternative. In 2015, the last year for which data is available, only 24 percent of Brampton residents were using sustainable modes of transportation.
As the city works to revamp its Transportation Master Plan, now would be the time to chart the course for a future that is more public transit-oriented and aligned with the 2040 Vision.
"The Transportation Master Plan is intended to provide guidance on long-term strategies that will help to manage congestion and to facilitate travel needs by all modes as the city continues to grow, with a focus on prioritizing travel by foot, bicycle, public transit, and ridesharing, consistent with the City's 2040 Vision," the city stated.
The review of the current master plan is being initiated this year, with an updated version expected to be presented to council in early 2022.

House Republicans Open Investigation into Whistleblower's Coordination with Democrats
'Investigating the investigators' has been a fruitful endeavor for the Republicans as of late.
From the moment that the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump was opened by the House of Representatives, there were questions of just where the motivations for the investigation truly began.
First came the "urgent" whistleblower complaint that accused the President of wrongdoing on a July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Soon, it was discovered that this whistleblower was a White House insider who may or may not have sought counsel with the office of anti-Trump Democratic leader Adam Schiff before submitting his or her documentation to the chain of command.
Now, the Republicans in the House are seeking a thorough answer regarding just how much confluence was occurring in the halls of Congress.

House Intelligence Committee Republicans are investigating the intelligence community inspector general for his handling of the Ukraine whistleblower complaint, including potential inconsistencies in his testimony before the panel as part of the Trump impeachment inquiry, Fox News has learned.take our poll - story continues belowCompleting this poll grants you access to Liberty Hub updates free of charge.

Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., first told investigative reporter Sara Carter earlier this week that the panel has an "active investigation" into Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson.
A source familiar with the committee's investigation on Tuesday went into further detail, telling Fox News that Republicans are looking at the ICIG's handling of the whistleblower complaint that sparked the impeachment inquiry into President Trump; the veracity of his testimony about the whistleblower complaint; and the explanations he offered for changes made to the ICIG's guidance on accepting second-hand information.
The concept of "investigating the investigators" has been common in 2019.
Shortly after the Robert Mueller-led probe into the RussiaGate conspiracy theory concluded, Republicans began to call for an investigation into how and why the FBI was surveilling the 2016 Trump campaign in the first place – an operation that ultimately led to the Mueller report recommending no charges for the President.

After the first and second part of this triple test subjects performed for 15 minutes with 60 W at 80 rpm. After the third part subjects continued exercise for three minutes with 60 W and 80 rmp and stopped then. The whole test procedure lasted between 80 and 90 minutes, depending on duration of each step test/part. Blood pressure was controlled after each 100 W
and after the last step of each ergometry. Gas exchange variables were monitored continuously throughout the step tests as described above. During the 15 minutes intervals between the ergometry step tests the facemask was removed to consume 750 mL of plain water, in total over the whole test procedure. Fourteen this website weeks later this procedure was repeated on the same cycle ergometer, with the same investigator, standardized room temperature (20°C) and humidity (60%). Blood and feces collection We conducted blood collections in supine position from a medial cubital vein at each triple ergometry test: before exercise (Pre) and within 10 min post exercise (Post). Venous blood was
collected to determine carbonyl proteins (CP), malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidation status of lipids (TOS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). After centrifugation for 10 minutes plasma was removed and samples were frozen at Erlotinib datasheet −70°C until analysis. For zonulin and α1-antitrypsin from
dipyridamole feces the subjects collected samples at baseline and after 14 weeks with standardized stool tubules within 24 hours prior to bringing the sample in a cool bag to the laboratory. All samples were analyzed within 72 hours after dispensing. Throughout the 14 weeks treatment the subjects recorded a stool protocol to monitor stool appearance with help of the Bristol stool scale/chart [28]. Stool analyses Zonulin and α1-antitrypsin were analyzed with commercially available ELISA kits (Immundiagnostik AG, Bensheim, Germany). The zonulin analysis is based on a competition between the free antigen in the samples or standards and the antigen coated on the wells of the microplate. Standards, samples and the primary anti-zonulin antibody are transferred directly into the precoated microplate wells. The antigen in the samples competes with the antigen immobilized on the wells of the microplate for the binding sites of the specific anti-zonulin antibody. A peroxidase-conjugated antibody is used for detection, and tetramethylbenzidine as a peroxidase substrate. The enzymatic reaction is terminated by acidic stop solution. The quantification is based on the optical density at 450 nm. Data are expressed in ng/mL.

Which structure corresponds to
The correct structure of the given compound is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The compounds that consist of a carbon atom are considered organic compounds. The study of these carbon consisting compounds is known as organic chemistry.
In alkanes, all the carbon and hydrogen atoms are bonded to each other with single bonding.
In alkenes and alkynes, at least one carbon atom is bonded by double or triple bonding.
Organic compound which consists of only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called hydrocarbons. The atoms in hydrocarbons are linked by single, double, or triple bonding.
Reason for the correct option:
The single bonded carbon atoms form four bonds with four atoms as because carbon has valency 4while the double bonded carbon atoms form two bonds with two atoms. The hydrogen atom forms only one bond with a single atom because hydrogen has valency 1.
So, in the given compound, the carbon atoms are linked to each other with single and double bonding.
Hence, option (c) is correct...

The Next Generation Fuel Cell Car - Hyundai Nexo
With the rising cost of gasoline and the restricted driving range of a hybrid, the automotive industry's take on the traditional vehicle is long overdue for a facelift. Stouffville Hyundai is proud to represent Hyundai, a manufacturer that does not stop researching, testing, and developing new and improved ways to help preserve the environment and your financial stability.
Hyundai is the first automotive manufacturer to make a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle available to the Canadian consumer. The introduction of the New Hyundai Nexo is a symbol of Hyundai's dedication to sustainable automotive technology.
Pick Your Hyundai Nexo Trim
There are 2 trims available in 2020 for the Hyundai Nexo; the base Blue model and the Limited model. The main difference between the 2 trims is that the Limited offers more luxuries, including a hands-free power liftgate, extra-large sunroof, ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, Hyundai's blind-spot view monitor, a 360-degree camera, a remote parking feature, and an upgraded Krell audio system.
The Hyundai Nexo's 95-kW fuel-cell stack and 40-kWh battery pack power an electric motor rated at 161HP and can travel up to 570 kilometers emitting nothing more than water and purified air. During testing, the Nexo delivered 0 to 95 km in 8 seconds. This acceleration puts the hydrogen-fueled Hyundai in the same performance class as today's conventional SUVs.
Contact Stouffville Hyundai for updated information on the Hyundai Nexo, to check out our new and Pre-Owned Inventory, talk to our Finance Department to get pre-approval for the Nexo, and for any other inquiries you may have.

Further reflections on Second Life Economics
What does the change in banking policy mean for Second Life? It is a question a lot of people are asking and no one seems to know. One person was told by a Linden that companies will not be able to provide dividends on their stocks. Another person was told that companies will still be allowed to make loans, which pay interest. Exchanges are still waiting for official feedback from Linden Lab.
The bigger question is how do we understand the "currency" of Second Life, which Linden Labs describes as "a limited license right available for purchase or free distribution at Linden Lab's discretion" Can or should banking regulatory agencies be expected to regulate the borrowing or lending of such rights? If so, then these rights should not be controlled at Linden Lab's discretion.
At 11 AM, SLT, today, Metanomics, together with the Investment Education Team will hold a special event to address Linden Lab's 'a radical shift in policy' regarding banks. I expect it to be a lively discussion and I hope many people attend. Details can be found here.

As we wrap up Heart Month here at Thistle, one challenge remains: how to better love and respect our beautiful and precious planet, and everyone who calls it home. While environmental sustainability isn't typically associated with cardiovascular health and other wellness measures we observe during Heart Month, it's important to acknowledge that our interconnectedness to one another and to the land plays a critical role in a healthy life.
One practical way to lovingly care for the earth is by making smart choices about all things organic food. The "organic" label, and even catchy phrases like Clean Fifteen and Dirty Dozen are everywhere these days. There's an organic section in every grocery store, organic cotton pajamas for your kids, organic dog treats, organic food delivery services, organic cosmetics, and even organic soda. Despite its ubiquitousness, do we even know what "organic" means? And is it always the healthiest choice?
In this post, we'll explain the basics of organic food and discuss what it all means for you and your health, for the planet and for your fellow humans. We'll also cover Thistle's approach to organic foods and explain how our food delivery service fits into a healthy and environmentally sustainable lifestyle.
What Does Organic Mean?
From an environmental perspective, the aim of organic food production has three specific goals: fortify soil, conserve water, and reduce pollution. Unlike conventionally-produced food, organic methods use natural products and processes to encourage growth and prevent disease. Some examples: instead of synthetic fertilizers, an organic farmer will enrich the soil with compost and manure. Rather than spray chemical pesticides, organic growers engage in practices like polyculture to keep the pests at bay.
Unlike other food buzzwords such as natural, superfood, and wholesome, which producers are free to use however they wish, organic food is highly regulated and requires third-party oversight and certification. Growers are subject to yearly inspections and must abide by strict guidelines.
Without the USDA's stamp of approval, you can't label a food organic. And it takes a lot of work to get and maintain that stamp, especially for small diverse farms. Daily record-keeping requirements include keeping tabs on everything from hours spent weeding to storage methods to pest management. The more varieties you grow and the more animals you raise, the more the paperwork multiplies.
Organic growing practices, certified or otherwise, stand against an agricultural landscape dominated by conventional monoculture, a system focused on producing livestock feed and processed food ingredients. Those endless fields of corn, soy, and wheat found in rural areas? That's conventional monoculture.
But take a closer look. Despite accounting for under 1% of US farmland, organic food is a growing business. Sales are increasing year over year, and over 75% of grocery stores carry organically produced items. Even restaurants are getting in on the action. Consumers are becoming more label-savvy, and they want to see that organic certification.
If there's one complaint people have about organic food, it's the cost. When money is tight, consumers are more likely to stick with conventionally grown food. Sometimes a 100% organic diet is out of reach, but that's no reason to give up! Bid an all-or-nothing approach goodbye, and say hello to some budget-friendly, flexible and wise ways to get more organic food into your diet. But first, let's examine why to consider organic.
Why Go Organic?
To Love Your Body
Early studies found the nutritional benefit of organic food to be similar to its conventional counterpart. However, newer research paints a different picture. Organic produce has many times more antioxidants, which are compounds that protect against aging, and perhaps even cancer. Meanwhile, organic meat and dairy products have 50% more omega-3s, which are linked to better heart health, brain development, and immunity.
Also, by eating organic food you'll minimize exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. This is an especially important consideration for children, as their developing bodies can't filter out toxins as well.
The world's most frequently used herbicide is glyphosate, and frequent exposure to it in agricultural and lawn care settings may cause cancer. Used as a weed-killer and even to speed up crops' drying time, traces of glyphosate are found in high percentages of many foods. If you want to maximize nutrient density and avoid the risks of chemical contamination, eat more organic food.
To Love Others
Even if organic food didn't have any extra health benefits, consider this: it's not only about you. Eating organic food is better for other people, especially those who harvest it. By choosing organic, you're showing love; you're seeking the good of others and of the planet.
Farm-workers and people who live near farms bear the brunt of conventional agriculture. Compared to the typical consumer, they're exposed to much higher levels of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. This subjects them to not just temporary harm such as skin rashes or breathing problems, but also to a higher risk of diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, infertility, and even death. When you eat organic, you're helping preserve the lives and well-being of others.
To Love the Planet
Perhaps you've heard the phrase, "We all live downstream," which means we should be mindful that pollution caused in one place will go on to impact other places. Conventional agriculture tends to not abide by that concept. Conventional practices typically have large carbon footprints, cause soil erosion, and increase water pollution.
Meanwhile, organic farming doesn't pollute the groundwater and uses materials requiring far less usage of non-renewable energy. It also preserves biodiversity, which means wild plants and animals (especially essential insects!) can co-exist among organic agriculture. It's a more harmonious way to farm. It's good for the planet. It's good for all of us.
What Eating Organic Means for You
While beneficial, eating a fully or predominantly organic diet may not be realistic or attainable for many. However, you can still make healthy and earth-friendly choices by following these guidelines:
For Fruits & Vegetables: Get Familiar with the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen
If you want more organic food in your diet, but can't afford or access it 100% of the time, let the Environmental Working Group's Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen be your guide. From a personal health and safety perspective, the Clean 15 fruits and veggies are OK in their conventional form thanks to their protective outer layer which reduces the pesticide residues absorbed in the edible portions. As for the Dirty Dozen, those foods tend to have a more delicate outer layer and are most likely to test positive for pesticides, so buy organic whenever possible.
At Thistle, produce gets a lot of love. Our meals are designed with a "plant-forward" approach. Whether it be our breakfasts, lunches, or dinners, fruits and veggies dominate! Additionally, since we want them to be as safe and as nutritious as possible, we practice what we preach and source our produce according to EWG's Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen guidelines.
For Animal Products: Less is More
Be it organic or conventional, raising animals for food is resource-intensive. Even meat purchased from a local farmer who practices regenerative agriculture has a larger footprint than most plant-based alternatives.
The takeaway is this: limit your consumption of animal products. From an environmental standpoint, it's especially effective to avoid beef because not only does it have the largest carbon footprint but also uses far more land and water than other livestock. For example, pound for pound, beef emits sixty times more carbon than peas.
When you do eat animal products, keep the portions small, and opt for eggs, poultry, and pork over beef, lamb, and dairy. And don't forget to seek out local, pastured, and organic sources whenever possible.
For Every Food Choice: Remember Your Motives
Eating organic is just one way to protect your health and protect the planet. Here are a few other factors to consider:
Food Miles
Do you want the organic apple shipped from a continent away, or the conventional one grown just a few miles away and sold at the local farmers' market? In cases like this, conventional may be a better choice.
This principle especially applies to local farms that are not certified organic but abide by sustainable growing practices. Get to know these farmers, and buy what they produce. Your financial support can get them one step closer to organic certification.
Nutritional Value
"But it's organic," you say, as you look at your cart full of chips, candy, and soda. Before you make this a regular habit, stop to think: Those organic chips will push you past your sodium limit for the day. Many organic sodas have just as much sugar as the regular stuff. Remember your goal to protect your health! Have a healthy relationship with (organic) sugar and junk food and save them for special occasions.
What Organic Means For Thistle: Our Sourcing Standard
By delivering delicious and healthy prepared meals directly to your door, Thistle can be your partner in incorporating more organic and environmentally sustainable foods into your diet. We constantly seek ways to be a more earth-friendly company. Here are just a few of the specific ways we aim to love the planet:
- With delicious plant-based protein options, we encourage more people to eat a plant-forward diet. Reducing consumption of animal products is the most immediate and most impactful earth-friendly decision individuals can make. It fights climate change, reduces the consumption of natural resources, mitigates and air and water pollution, and promotes biodiversity and reforestation.
- We take a holistic approach to sustainability. In an attempt to reduce carbon and water footprints as much as possible, not only do we emphasize a plant-forward way of eating, but we also aim to make Thistle's operations more earth-friendly. In the past year, we've cut our food waste in half. We offset all delivery and logistics-related carbon emissions. In addition, our facilities run on 100% renewable energy!
- We are proud to source from sustainably-minded, local and organic farms and partner with women and minority-owned businesses. One of our most recent partnerships is with locally-renowned Burma Love Foods. With so many local partnerships, we enjoy firsthand knowledge of our food's growing practices.
- We include as much seasonal and organic food as possible. We strive to source all Dirty Dozen produce from certified organic farms. Our leafy greens are always organic. We aim to offer produce at the peak of its harvest.
- We get most of our protein from organic farms in Northern California. This includes plant-based proteins such as tofu, beans, and tempeh alongside animal proteins such as free-range poultry, pastured eggs, and non-GMO ground pork. Due to environmental impact considerations, our menu is always beef and dairy-free.
- We work hard to improve our packaging. Seeing this as our greatest opportunity for improvement, testing of compostable and even reusable packaging is currently underway. Stay tuned!
If you're looking for a delicious organic food delivery service that's aiming to be as transparent and sustainable as possible, give us a try. You can customize your subscription to meet your dietary and environmental goals, and you can pause anytime.
Everyone needs to eat, and everyone wants to do their part to love the planet. Be it eating more organic food or taking a more plant-based approach, eating in a more environmentally sustainable way is something we can achieve together. Join us!

Very Good 8.2 From 677 reviews
After an issue with my first booking in Whistler, I was sure we would end up without accommodations for the night considering we were traveling with our cat. This is an amazing hotel and I wished I had booked here in the first place. Secure gear storage for ski and snowboarding equipment. My daughter loved the hot chocolate they keep out in the lobby and the rooms were very nice. Short walk to the lift line. And very pleasant staff. Will be back again for sure.
Private events had the lounge and restaurant full so we were unable to use them
Not very pleasant front office staff at check in or check out. The night staff were excellent and attended to issues really fast.
Room was very small fridge was in rough shape broken an a little rusty the room above had a very squeaky floor hotel did not have enough bathrobes and not well maintained.
The hotel restaurant and the Ketel Ice Room were closed Hotel is off the main Whistler Stroll and lots of steps to navigate to the entrance so difficult with cases. Took cab when leaving to catch transportation
