The Writers Guild of America revealed its annual award winners in film, television, and other media on Sunday evening, crowning some critical darlings and providing a potential shakeup to the Oscars race.
On the television side, Atlanta" took home two trophies, for best comedy and best new series, continuing its recent successful awards season run. And fellow FX series "The Americans" nabbed the prize for best drama series, finally gaining some awards attention after its excellent fourth season. (Its only previous WGA nomination came in 2014, for best new series.)
But the real story was on the film side of the equation, with "La La Land" losing out on one of the night's top two prizes. A nominee for best original screenplay, the musical was instead upstaged by "Moonlight," which took top honors. "Arrival" was named the other big winner, taking the best adapted screenplay award.
In an odd bit of category confusion, "Moonlight" and "La La Land" will not go head-to-head in the screenwriting category at the Oscars, with "Moonlight" landing among the Academy's adapted screenplay nominees (alongside "Arrival"), and "La La Land" nabbing an original screenplay nod. But they're both vying for Best Picture, and "La La Land" seems to be losing its once seemingly unstoppable momentum; could this latest setback spell trouble for its chances to take home Oscar's biggest prize?

While world leaders meet in opulent settings to discuss famine and poverty around the globe, it is ironic that we regularly see articles like 'Four famines mean 20 million may starve in the next six months'.1 Every living thing needs food, water and oxygen to grow; a common introduction to science for kindergarten children. Why then, is a need so basic not met for every individual on this planet? Yemen, South Sudan and Nigeria are experiencing famine now while many African and Middle Eastern nations are rapidly spiralling into severe food insecurity. The road to food security will only become more challenging as the world population is expected to increase to over 9 billion by 20501. Famine does not only mean that millions of people starve to death, it inadvertently leads to a cascade of health issues. Kidney failure and cardiac arrhythmia due to severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalance resulting in a shock to the nervous system and atrophy of skeletal muscle are just a few of the myriad of health problems caused by starvation 2. These problems put a strain on the healthcare system, resulting in increased costs and poorer access to healthcare for people who are already deprived of it.
In this article I write about how agriculture can be maximized to help eradicate hunger and malnutrition.

Many patients who visit Vancouver dentist, Dr. Debra Mitchell have avoided the dentist for years out of anxiety, fearing dental treatment will be painful and expensive. Dr. Mitchell and her staff are dedicated to making each patient as comfortable as possible.
Dr. Mitchell graduated in 1981 from the University of Alberta, moving to Vancouver in 1987. She practiced for over twenty years at a large group practice. In 2010 she and her staff moved to south Vancouver in the Marpole area to open a new office in Airport Square.
She has been an active participant in many study clubs, courses and conferences in Canada and the United States to stay abreast of the new and exciting changes in dentistry. These include study in dental esthetics and cosmetic dentistry, veneers, crowns and bridges, root canals, surgery and implants.
Dr. Mitchell enjoys caring for patients in a thorough yet gentle manner. She wants her patients to understand the options that are available to them and works with them to choose a treatment plan to best optimize their dental health.
On a personal note, Dr. Mitchell and her husband Rob are the parents of four grown children. Debra and Rob enjoy travel, tandem cycling, skiing, and spending time with their family and friends.

The Department of Children and Families (department) brought a care and protection action against the mother of Helena (child) and the child's father. The department was granted temporary custody of the child, first on an emergency basis and then following a so-called seventy-two-hour hearing. The mother then filed a petition, pursuant to G. L. c. 211, § 3, in the county court, requesting that the order of temporary custody be vacated. A single justice of this court denied the petition without a hearing, and this appeal followed. In an order previously issued pursuant to S.J.C. Rule 2:21, as amended, 434 Mass. 1301 (2001), we allowed the appeal to proceed in the regular course.
We now dismiss the appeal as moot. While the appeal has been pending, the underlying care and protection case has been dismissed in the trial court, and custody of the child has been returned to the mother. See Care & Protection of Torrence, 454 Mass. 1010 , 1010 (2009). We have considered the parties' arguments as to why the court might decide the case irrespective of its mootness. We decline to reach the merits in this case, however. The mother's petition was summarily denied by the single justice, and the issues raised by the appeal, while capable of repetition, will not evade appellate review. [Note 1]
Appeal dismissed.
Sarah Lyons, Committee for Public Counsel Services, for the mother.
Tamar M. Gureghian for the child.
Muriel Finnegan for Department of Children & Families.
[Note 1] Given this disposition, we need not rule on the department's motion to strike the child's brief and certain affidavits of counsel (which, we note, were not before the single justice in any event).
Aurelio Pinero, Jr., appeals from a judgment of a single justice of this court denying, without a hearing, his petition for relief under G. L. c. 211, § 3. Pinero has been convicted of assault and battery and assault with intent to rape. See Commonwealth v. Pinero, 49 Mass. App. Ct. 397 (2000). He filed a motion for a new trial in December, 2009. The trial judge denied that motion as well as a subsequent motion for reconsideration. More than thirty days after the motion for a new trial was denied, Pinero filed a notice of appeal along with a motion for an enlargement of time to do so. The same judge denied the
Page 1002
latter motion. Several months thereafter, Pinero moved in the Appeals Court for an enlargement of time to file his notice of appeal. Mass. R. A. P. 14 (b), as amended, 378 Mass. 939 (1979). A single justice of the Appeals Court denied the motion and a subsequent motion for reconsideration. Pinero did not appeal to a panel of the Appeals Court, but filed his G. L. c. 211, § 3, petition in the county court. We affirm the judgment denying that petition.
Pinero has filed a memorandum and appendix pursuant to S.J.C. Rule 2:21, as amended, 434 Mass. 1301 (2001), which requires him to "set forth the reasons why review of the trial court decision cannot adequately be obtained on appeal from any final adverse judgment in the trial court or by other available means." That rule does not apply here because Pinero, in asking a single justice of this court for an enlargement of time to file a notice of appeal, was not challenging an interlocutory order of the trial court. See Fernandez v. Commonwealth, 445 Mass. 1015 , 1015 (2005). Nonetheless, it is clear on this record that Pinero "had [at least one] adequate alternative remedy to relief pursuant to G. L. c. 211, § 3: he 'could have appealed to a panel of the Appeals Court from the Appeals Court's single justice's denial of his motion for leave to file a late notice of appeal.' " Kines v. Clerk of the Superior Court for Criminal Business, 442 Mass. 1025 , 1025 (2004), quoting Rasheed v. Commonwealth, 440 Mass. 1027 , 1027 (2003). Relief under G. L. c. 211, § 3, was therefore properly denied.
Judgment affirmed.
The case was submitted on the papers filed, accompanied by a memorandum of law.
Aurelio Pinero, Jr., pro se.
Jane Davidson Montori for the Commonwealth.

In summer of last year, at the SS17 shows of London Fashion Week Men's (or LC:M as it was then) a new designer addition to the schedule made waves – the collection was titled 'Ocean' after all – in the fashion line-up. After a decade of showing in Paris, Songzio was the label on everyone's mind by the end of London's three-day menswear showcase, the Korean designer's approach to design standing out from the rest.
Founder and designer Zio Song studied at Paris's prestigious fashion school, ESMOD, in the 1980s. He founded his (kind of) eponymous line in 1993 in Seoul, South Korea. The high-end menswear brand can safely lay claim to playing a part in the popularity and prominence of luxury fashion in Korea today. Showing in Seoul for over a decade, Song took his label to Paris where he first showed on the Paris Fashion Week schedule in 2006. He showed in Paris for a decade before moving his show to London in 2016, all this time retaining his position on the Seoul Fashion Week schedule.
His collections follow an unusual route from concept to creation and have spawned the term 'Paint on Black' to describe their artistic roots. The first step in Song's creative process is painting on canvas, but not the traditional sketchbook or mood board method where sketches of suits and trousers would be etched. Full-scale artworks, sometimes in excess of six feet tall, are created and it is these creations – often with an emotional or philosophical undertone – that then form the mood of the collection that Song then draws and manufactures, the artworks dictating the colour palette and being transformed into printed fabrics. "Wearable art" as it was coined by GQ's Zak Maoui, following the brand's first London outing. Of course, this grabbed our attention with our Art Issue currently on newsstands.
Having just shown his AW17 collection at Seoul Fashion Week, having debuted it at LFWM in January, Mikael Jack spent some time getting to know the process, the history and the man behind the Korean brand that is blending art with luxury fashion.
MJ: The brand was founded in 1993 and showed in Paris for a long time before coming to London – why did you decide to move the show to LFWM?
ZS: Moving to London was a new start. I was doing a fashion show in Seoul for 20 years and Paris for 10 years. Paris is a more familiar place for me as I had been showing in paris for 10 years and studied there too. London was brand new so it held a curiosity of how my collections would work in London. When I was in Paris I often visited London on weekends and found it very interesting with much inspiration.
There was a turning point about a year ago. Dylan Jones (editor-in-chief of British GQ and a director at the British Fashion Council) and Frank Cintamani (President of ACF, the Asian Couture Federation) invited me to show in London, which I wasn't sure about at first simply because of it being so unknown, but now I love it. In London there is a lot of support for marketing and PR to help set up the show, from agencies but also the BFC and ACF, which I felt was much more left up to me in Paris. The London fashion community was very welcoming, it was a very different atmosphere to Paris, there are lots of people – families, almost – helping me here. Paris was more solitary.
MJ: Was there a different reaction in London from press, buyers, etc. than you had experienced in Seoul and Paris?
ZS: Seoul feels comfortable and there is a massive, positive reaction there, as my collections are better known. I am also a chairman of CFDK (Council of Fashion Designers of Korea) so that means my shows are slightly higher profile, but that comes with some pressure.
In Paris, I liked the challenge but it was a big one. But I felt that the Songzio identity really found itself in Paris and it became clearer what the DNA of the brand was.
In London, as I said, everyone was very welcoming, to the Songzio brand and to my team and I, so I am working on the challenge of making a success in London. Every five to 10 years, I like to set myself a new challenge. I'm enjoying it.
MJ: You seem like you enjoy a challenge?
ZS: Yes [laughs] it would seem that I do.
MJ: Is it important for Korean designers like you and Eudon Choi, who also shows in London, to show in Europe as well as in Seoul?
ZS: Thirty years ago when Japanese designers became very well-known around the world – Comme des Garçons, Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Kenzo – they spawned a generation of Asian designers that came to prominence in Europe. Then there was two other generations. Takeo Kikuchi, Junya Watanabe, were the next generation and now, Sacai, myself, Choi are the next generation to make a name in Europe. I hope that more Korean designers in the future will show in and be successful in European markets.
MJ: Is promoting Korean designers in the Europe, and exposing them to the cities and markets in Europe, something that you are involved in with the CFDK?
ZS: As the CFDK chairman it is important that I create a bridge for more young Korean designers to give them the opportunity to become known in London and Europe, and through the success of Songzio this can hopefully happen. It's another challenge I have set myself.
The British Fashion Council (BFC) is also really interested in Korean designers so I am hoping there can be more relationships between the two, not for people my age necessarily, but for the next generation of designers.
MJ: South Korea is the third largest market for luxury goods in Asia and it has been reported that Seoul Fashion Week's aim is to become the fifth city in fashion. You're quite new in your role at the CFDK, do you have a plan or vision for that to happen?
ZS: Compared to the main fashion cities in Europe, Seoul is very far away, so it is hard to find a commonality or to have the same crowd come on the back of Paris or London. I don't think it is enough for celebrities to come to the shows either. I want designers to be more creative with their collections and the show is very important. My plan is to support them in achieving that, and that will hopefully boost the recognition of SFW.
The second part of the plan is to collaborate with the BFC, to do an exchange where a Korean designer comes here and a London designer shows in Seoul, that would be really interesting. A fashion foreign exchange. I've only been the chairman for a few months, but in the next year I am planning to propose a collaboration between the ACF and BFC too.
MJ: Where is the Songzio collection designed and produced?
ZS: We design and manufacture everything in South Korea.
MJ: The current collection was influenced by the sea, with bright colours and prints on a blue base complementing the ubiquitous dark tailored pieces. Where do your ideas tend to come from?
ZS: The season is always the most important thing. For SS17 the title was Ocean and I was inspired by light spectrums coming through water, all very fluid and bright. For AW17 I was thinking much more about nature at that time of year, so it was dark. Colour bases of brown and black, with camel, orange and beige as the highlights; very natural colours, a contrast of the previous season's bright mood.
Every season we start with a painting. I paint onto canvas as the starting point. Then I can start on designing the collection.
For AW17 there is a cross – the vertical and horizontal representing the subject and the emotions behind it – and other artworks that depict autumn forests. Some of the paintings are taller than me. We create digital prints by taking photographs of the paintings and then developing this into fabrics that make up the collection. For AW17 we have lined the tailoring with printed fabric too, which is the first time we have done this.
MJ: You have developed a signature style, merging art and tailoring, and in the past few seasons some sportswear influences have made their way into your show, which always feels new and fresh. How do you update achieve this while keeping your signature style?
ZS: Our customer is always the brand's protagonist each season. I think about different people, emotions and styles and how different markets and individuals will interpret this and wear our brand. So each time we have different styles and categories but always with that base in tailoring which is what the brand's identity comes from.
MJ: You've talked about collaborating with BFC and having a London designer swapping with a Korean one etc., but would you want to collaborate with other designers or artists on your own label?
I would love to if I get the chance. The thing I love most about London is the contemporary art culture that is here, and I would love to bring a London designer's work together with mine. Seoul and London combined. Not just established fashion people, but students, young artists… I would like that.
There are many art schools and courses in Korea but there is nothing like there is in London, so it would be amazing to bring artists or designers to Korea to introduce some of that culture in Seoul. It would be great for those young Korean designers to be able to experience the inspiration that I do in London, as it is expensive for them to be able to travel here.
MJ: In issue 14 of Candid – the Art Issue – I asked the question of if fashion can be considered art. What are your thoughts?
ZS: The Songzio design approach very much fuses the two together, so it is more difficult for me to see them both as two separate entities. I see fashion more as a visual art, like cinema, not like sculpture and fine painting. It is its own type of art. I think they both need to exist together, certainly for what I do, as I am both a designer and an artist. There are limitations – if a painter tries to design fashion or vice versa it might not work – but if the two can come together it creates a new energy.
MJ: As a menswear designer and a relatively small label compared to the fashion powerhouses, are you concerned about the shift to the 'see it, buy it' formula and the co-ed shows where many menswear shows were left off the schedule and joined womenswear?
ZS: The big companies have their own retail stores and it makes it a lot easier for 'see it, buy it' to be possible. It is difficult for smaller designers to be able to produce at risk or with short notice, and to get these out to buyers.
For next season, we are looking to launch t-shirts that will go online shortly after the show, which is sort of a 'see it, buy it' option, and it is much easier to achieve. The tailoring aspects and most other wouldn't be possible at this stage for the brand. If it happens we will need to find a solution but it will be hard.
MJ: And finally, the AW17 collection is titled 'Misanthrope' and from the show notes we are told visually depicts the story of a young man, walking the cold yet serene streets on an eerie morning of an unknown city. All of the models in the show had a similar look, with one of the standout faces of the season, Michael Walker, closing the show. Do you think about that "man" when you cast models for the show?
ZS: When the time comes to cast, I always have a look or image in my head of the model. When we saw Michael, he looked like the boy I had drawn in my sketches, so he was perfect. We had to have him.
Songzio will show his SS18 collection at London Fashion Week Men's in June 2017.
Candid issue 14, the Art Issue, is available now.
Mr Song was interviewed via a translator; the original interview has been transcribed as accurately as possible.

Last week, before leaves and flowers blossomed, I went with Louis-Marie up to Clermont to watch the mill. Charlevoix area is probably among the most scenic areas in Eastern Canada, no wonder it was a resort of choice for wealthy Americans a century ago.
One must know there haven't been any freight movement on Murray Bay Sub since 2009, when Le Massif de Charlevoix (LMCX) bought the line. There was talks of an agreement between Le Massif and CN to handle freight but nothing materialized. Thus, the track from La Malbaie to Clermont - the "industrial" part of it - is almost abandoned.
That said, it was a good occasion to better understand the local topography, how track is built and get a general idea of vegetation and soils.
|Clermont Paper Mill seen from the river.
|The electric powerhouse and woodchip unloader.
I took plenty of pictures from the other side of the river and photomerged them to make a backdrop. I don't know if I'll used it in the end, but it will definitely be useful to make different buildings à la Mindheim.
Going to Clermont was also a good occasion to see how roads and tracks interacted together there. An interesting set of slopes merge at a crossing near the mill. This scene will definitely find its way on the layout, including the nice stone wall and this will help to blend the scenic divider on the peninsula better with adjacent trackage.
|This stone wall gives a lot of character to this typical scene.
Back to Quebec City, we reworked the layout according to our new finds. The overpass in the background will close the scenery between Montmorency and Clermont. The stone wall will be located along the track between the station and the overpass. I'm not sure if the station will be kept.
The fascia will also be redone. The old one was straight, but this time, we will curve it to get more space between the track and... a better overall look. I'm actually wondering if I should paint the new fascia dark green or keep the sand tone. We will do some test.

Setup and Equipment:
- Each member of a Color Team (red, purple, green, yellow, orange, green) stands inside of a hula hoop that is the same color as their team (if possible).
- Hula Hoops are spread around the floor.
- Students move their hoops by making short steps from within their hoops.
- The teacher calls out a color team and announces that this color team is the "Arctic Wind".
- This designated color team attempts to tag others by bumping their hoop into a different color hoop.
- Once a hoop is tagged that student stands frozen with arms extended.
- They may be unfrozen with a "high five" or a hoop tap from one of the teams that is not the "Arctic Wind".
- Each turn will take one-two minutes.
- Continue until everyone has a turn.

Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)-Bangladesh's stocks extended their gaining streak for the second straight week as optimistic investors took position on lucrative stocks.
The week featured five trading sessions as usual.
Of them, three sessions closed higher while two edged lower.
Both the Dhaka Stock Exchange, the prime bourse of Bangladesh, and Chittagong Stock Exchange, the port city bourse of the country, experienced upward trend.
The prime index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), went up by 42.12 points or 0.93 per cent to settle the week at 4,573.75 points.
The DS30 index, comprising blue chips, gained 8.58 points or 0.50 per cent to finish at 1,729.64.
The DSE Shariah Index rose 9.64 points or 0.88 per cent to end the week at 1,101.16.
The port city bourse Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) also ended higher for the second consecutive week with its Selective Categories Index- CSCX- gaining 90.54 points or 1.07 per cent to end the week at 8,507.23.
IDLC Investments, a merchant bank, said, during mid of the week, optimistic news like US$ 250 million loan from ADB for capital market reform of Bangladesh and MoU signed between securities' regulators of India and Bangladesh instigated some positivity in the market, pushing the broad index beyond 4,600-level.
However, due to weak economic data as demonstrated by 'Quantum Index of Industrial Production' and lack of firm investment ground, investors could not rely on that level and went for profit booking from the short trail of upsurge in the market, said the merchant bank.
The total turnover for the week stood at BDT 21.96 billion which was BDT 17.90 billion in the week before.
The daily turnover averaged BDT 4.39 billion, which was 23 percent higher than the previous week's average of BDT 3.58 billion.
The losers took a modest lead over the gainers as out of 325 traded issues, 158 closed lower, 139 higher and 28 remained unchanged on the DSE trading floor last week.
Saif Powertec dominated the week's turnover chart with shares of BDT 878 million changing hands during the week followed by IFAD Autos, Beximco Pharma, Al-Arafa Islami Bank and Far Chemical Industries.
Al-Arafa Islami Bank was the week's best performer, posting a rise of 5.90 per cent while BD Autocars was the week's worst loser, plunging by 19.66 per cent.

The Morning Download: Digitalization Alone Is Not the Cure
Good day, CIO. Flu season brings patients another opportunity to review their primary care provider's latest technology, or lack thereof. Raise your hand, using the arm not submitted to the influenza vaccine, if you spotted the doc pecking away at a PC clone running Windows 98. Is the medical profession tech-averse? Quite the opposite, "Doctors are among the most technology-avid people in society," notes Atul Gawande, a surgeon and staff writer for the New Yorker. But are they fans of the ongoing digitalization of their profession? Mr. Gawande thinks perhaps not and his reasons uncover the challenges all organizations--and CIOs in particular--face as they strive to balance new technological capabilities with talent and established processes
Who are the tools? The tech or the users? The medical profession's ability to identify and solve problems often has been throttled and constrained by technology boundaries imposed by software, according to Mr. Gawande. "Medicine is a complex adaptive system ... Software is not. It is complex, but it does not adapt. That is the heart of the problem for its users, us humans." Spending more time in front of screens—two hours of computer work for every hour of patient time, according to one study--has led to an increase in burnout among medical professionals, he writes.
The challenges are universal. Mr. Gawande continues: "The Tar Pit has trapped a great many of us: clinicians, scientists, police, salespeople—all of us hunched over our screens, spending more time dealing with constraints on how we do our jobs and less time simply doing them."
Google plans large New York City expansion. Google is gearing up for an expansion of its New York City real estate that could add space for more than 12,000 new workers, an amount nearly double the search giant's current staffing in the city and rivaling the approximately 25,000 jobs Amazon.com Inc. is projected to add if it completes plans for a major new office there.
They want to make it there. Says the Journal: "New York could become the next battleground in a budding rivalry between Amazon and Google, which are increasingly vying to be the first place consumers turn for searches related to product purchases."
Amazon HQ2 plans could make defense hiring even more competitive. Two of the possible locations, Crystal City area of Arlington, Va. and Dallas are also home to large populations of defense workers, the Journal's Doug Cameron reports.
And Queens even more crowded. Long Island City, a leading contender for one of Amazon's headquarters, has become the fastest-growing neighborhood in all of New York City, the WSJ's Katie Honan writes. And with growth come challenges, from crowded schools to overworked sewer systems. Parts of Long Island City are also located in a hurricane evacuation zone.
Telstra executive to replace Elon Musk as chairman. Robyn Denholm, the chief financial officer of Australian telecommunications company Telstra Corp., has served on Tesla Inc.'s board since 2014 but has fewer ties to Mr. Musk than most of the company's directors, the WSJ's Tim Higgins reports.
Former Intel CEO Krzanich to lead CDK Global. Brian Krzanich resigned from Intel Corp. in June after the company determined he violated company policy with a past, consensual relationship with an employee. CDK makes software for auto dealerships.
Former Uber CEO to lead Manhattan penthouse. Travis Kalanick, who co-founded Uber Technologies Inc., was pushed out as chief executive by investors last year. The $36.4 million penthouse is in the city's Soho neighborhood.
Regulators take aim at Wells Fargo technology oversight. Regulators at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have identified problems across Wells Fargo's technology operations, including software vulnerabilities, cybersecurity concerns and risk-management inconsistencies, according to a June internal bank document focused on enterprise technology reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Tech's top challenge: Streaming videogames. Industry watchers believe the spread of data centers and deployment of next-generation wireless, known as 5G, will do away with latency plaguing the video game industry's dream of serving up interactive entertainment like Netflix Inc. serves movies. No matter how things shake out, the competition for game-streaming customers "will be intense," Tim O'Shea, an analyst at investment bank Jefferies Financial Group, tells the WSJ's Sarah E. Needleman. "It's going to be a cloud war."
At last ... a foldable phone. At a developer showcase event on Wednesday, Samsung Electronics Co. showed off a foldable-screen smartphone, the WSJ's Timothy W. Martin reports. The device, which is 7.3 inches when opened, is ready for mass production in the coming months, Samsung said. It boasts a second, smaller display on the outside—which it called a cover window—allowing users to check emails and perform other basic tasks when closed.
Samsung announces AI plan. The company plans to invest $20 million in artificial intelligence by 2020, Reuters reports.
Ford buys electric-scooter startup. With the acquisition of San Francisco-based startup Spin, Ford Motor Co. becomes the latest company to dive into Silicon Valley's scooter-investment frenzy, the Journal's Mike Colias and Eliot Brown report. The Dearborn, Mich.-based car maker plans to expand the scooter operator to more than 100 U.S. cities within the next year and a half, reaching out to urban denizens who might never own a car.
AM radio RIP? Most owners of Tesla Inc. vehicles may not have noticed, but electric vehicles are a buzz kill for AM reception, the WSJ's Chester Dawson reports. The problem, experts said, is that electric-vehicle motors generate electromagnetic frequencies on the same wavelength as AM radio signals. That creates the buzzing and signal fading from electromagnetic interference.
Facebook to U.K., Canada: Nope. The company has turned down a request by both governments that CEO Mark Zuckerberg appear before a "special joint parliamentary hearing" in London and answer questions on data privacy and disinformation on the social network. CNBC has more.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was pushed out of his post by President Trump, immediately placing oversight of the special counsel's Russia probe in the hands of an official who has been critical of it. (WSJ)
Extending a yearslong phenomenon, Republicans are becoming the party of rural, white America, while Democrats find support from cities and suburbs. (WSJ)
Unfilled jobs in the U.S. exceeded the number of unemployed Americans by more than one million as the summer came to a close. (WSJ)
Toshiba said it would liquidate its U.K. nuclear business and sell its U.S. natural-gas business, taking a combined loss of nearly $1 billion. (WSJ)

Everyone thinks differently and knows and believes things differently, and everyone acts differently as well. Have you ever deviated from the norm and blazed your own trail or have you always followed a well-worn path blazed by others.
1. Tell me about a day in your life you didn't think you'd live through. What does the word home mean?
2. Do you remember the time the feather of love first touched your heart? Have you ever felt the brunt of someone's bigotry, prejudice or hate?
3. What do you think when you see a man operating a machine with mechanical arms that twists tree branches off trees?
4. Do you give a part of yourself to strangers or keep everything to yourself? Do you allow yourself to also receive sometimes?
5. Have you ever compared your life to others or walked in someone else's shoes? Do you have any idea what their journey is all about.
6. Have you ever casually kiss a friend on the cheek or the lips when you said goodbye? Do you stand beside them when they're angry, try to understand their anger?
7. Have you paid for a cup of coffee or a soft drink or left money to be applied to the tab of a stranger behind you at a drive in; donated airline or hotel miles so that a family member could attend the graduation ceremony of their grandchild or be at the bedside of a critically ill loved one in another state?
8. Tell me some of the ways that society is cruel to others. Do you bleed sometimes from other people's wounds?
9. Have you listened while a family member or friend told you they had a life threatening illness and a limited time to live?
10. Is it justifiable or honorable to critique and point fingers at others who think differently and walk a different path than yours?
11. What do you think of your first name; if you disliked it and decided to change it, would your family accept it and call you by the name you felt fit you better or would they disapprove and argue with your decision?
12. Have you ever known anyone who has been disowned by their mother, father or siblings? Have you thought about the child who keeps a secret afraid to tell it for fear of being rejected, disowned and tossed out of the house?
13. Do you inspire yourself? Have you written a song and then lived it? Have you wanted to write a book? Would you deny it if someone told you that you are a precious jewel?
14. Have you ever spiraled into bliss and then came crashing down to earth like a heavy rock – but you recovered and stretched your wings and flew the skies again?
Would you think less of me if I told you that I was a day dreamer in school and never truly understood the fundamentals of math, grammar and punctuation? Or that I only learned to truly live later in life and now walk to the beat of my own drum?

are cases when that might not be
possible, and their long-term use
might be warranted. This is when
you get into discussion about the
benefit-to-risk ratio, he said.
Glucocorticoids may be used asmonotherapy in patients with PMR,Prof. Buttgereit observed, which is incontrast to other conditions such asRA. Although the evidence for useof glucocorticoids in PMR is limited,the EULAR Glucocorticoid Task Forceand American College of Rheumatol-ogy recommended (Ann Rheum Dis.2015;74[ 10]:1799-807) using a start-ing dose of a prednisolone-equiva-lent dose between 12. 5 and 25 mg/day, and if there is an improvementin few weeks, the dose can start tobe reduced. Tapering should be rapidat first to bring the dose down to
10 mg/day and followed by a more
gradual dose-reduction phase.
Balancing the long-term benefits
and risks of glucocorticoids in
rheumatic disease was the focus
of a EULAR viewpoint article published 3 years ago in 2015 (Ann
Rheum Dis. 2015;75[ 6]:952-7).
Three main messages can be
drawn out of this work, he said.
First, treatment with glucocorticoids for 3-6 months is associated
with more benefits than risks if
doses of 5 mg/day or less are used.
There is one important exception to
this, however, and that is the use of
glucocorticoids in patients with co-morbid cardiovascular disease.
Second, using doses of 10 mg/dayfor long periods tips the balance to-ward more risks than benefits, and"this means you should avoid this."Third, doses of 5-10 mg/daymay be appropriate, but there arecertain patient factors that will in-fluence the benefit-to-harm ratiothat need to be considered. Theseinclude older age, smoking, highalcohol consumption, and poornutrition. There are also factorsthat may help protect the patientsfrom risk, such as early diagnosis,low disease activity, low cumula-tive dose of glucocorticoids, and ashorter duration of treatment.
"It's not only the dose, it's also the
absence or presence of risk factors
and/or preventive measures," that's
important, Prof. Buttgereit said.
Prof. Buttgereit has received
consultancy fees, honoraria, travel
expenses, and/or grant or study

Why your next Uber driver might be deaf
A new story from Quartz explains how some deaf drivers have found work with Uber. Susan Johnston Taylor says, "NAD is currently working with Uber to make its app more user-friendly for hard-of-hearing drivers (or partners, as Uber prefers to call them). These initiatives include a flashing light to notify a driver of a ride request (in addition to the existing audio notification), turning off the option to call a deaf driver, and a prompt to make sure passengers enter their destinations."

The works are in full swing for a large-scale upgrading of the new building that will host the testing laboratory of OLPHARM, a testing center that provides the full range of services in the area of development, testing and preclinical studies of both generic and brand name drugs, as well as the quality control of substances and finished dosage forms. A new modern building will be located in IQ-Park, a business center, and will occupy the surface area of about 3000 sq. m.
"The larger area for laboratory research and, most importantly, for the vivarium, will allow to significantly expand the range of our studies on safety and efficacy of medicinal products in vivo (mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, SPF animals) and in vitro," said Zhanna Balabanova, the Deputy General Director of OLPHARM, an independent testing center.
A new stage in the development of the laboratory means not just the expansion of the areas designed and fully re-equipped in accordance with international GLP standard. The laboratory, which is accredited for quality control of active substances and finished medicinal products and licensed to work with microorganisms of pathogenicity groups 3-4, plans to broaden the scope of its accreditation.

PHOTO: Rangers Star Fábio Cardoso Shows Off Brutal Broken Nose After Clash With Motherwell Striker
Rangers defender Fábio Cardoso has taken to social media to show off the gruesome injury he picked up after tussling with Motherwell striker Ryan Bowman in Sunday's League Cup Semi-Final clash.
Cardoso was spotted during the match with blood pouring from his nose, after Bowman was seen to have elbowed the Portuguese player twice in the face during tussles.
Posting on his Twitter page, via The Sun, the 23-year-old shocked fans with the gruesome picture, showing his bloodied nose to have swollen considerably following the clash.
Cardoso has been in the wars for the Gers in the League Cup, having had to have four stitches in his chin following a clash during their quarter final victory over Queen's Park.
The defender will be disappointed that his battle scars will have been in vein, given that his side crashed out of the cup thanks to two Louis Moult strikes in the loss to Motherwell.
While Rangers may have been knocked out of the cup, they will be cheered by their domestic form, which sees them currently sitting in third place in the league.
The Gers have successfully completed the long-road back to top flight football after relegated to the Third Division in 2012, following liquidation after the club found itself in financial ruin.

This is my pantry so far this year. Lots of homegrown goodness saved up for the long winter. My mom also kept a pantry of canned vegetables in her basement. We never had much money, but we had enough to eat.
Recently I read a blog post that spoke of boiling canned veggies for 10 to 20 minutes after opening. I couldn't understand why anyone would do that because of course you would end up with overcooked mush. No wonder they didn't like canned vegetables! After being assured that this was recommended for all home canned items, I did some more research. Based on an average of 25 cases of botulism each year this is the recommended practice. Uh huh...it still sounds like scare mongering to me. My family has canned for generations without any illness. The pressure canner is designed to work at the same temperature and pressure used by commercial canning factories. Clean jars and lids, pressure canner with a good seal, appropriate pressure and time are all that's needed. If you are uncertain of canning safety, then freezing may be what is best for you. I will continue to can my harvest and enjoy a full pantry that won't be at risk when the power goes.

We've all been there. You're sitting in a meeting and someone brings up something your department is not excelling at right now. You look around, kind of embarrassed and acknowledge that yes, we know this is something we need to work on….it's just been at the bottom of the list under projects A, B, and C. Everyone in the room looks at you sympathetically…because they are in the exact same boat, and they hope they're not next in line to get called out.
Struggling with multiple, competing projects and optimizing areas that require re-work is a familiar theme in healthcare right now, and it rings true whether you've been live on your EHR for eight years or just switched to a new system three months ago.
Some areas get immediate attention and support from your C-suite because they are associated with federal or state funds. Meaningful Use standards, health information exchanges, and changing billing/coding standards aren't hard to get behind because they are required. However, there are other workflows which, when optimized, can have long-term benefits, such as staff reduction, accreditation reporting, patient satisfaction and protection against legal action. These types of workflow changes, when done correctly, can yield significant results for your department (and I'm betting you already have a couple in mind).
So how do you take this workflow from a pain point to an efficient and effective process?
- Call it a project
It sounds simple enough, but the fact that you have named an effort a special project makes people think about it differently, be willing to dedicate time to it and know it's a priority for you. You also need to have a timeline surrounding it – and it's okay to say that it's a year-long effort. Summer 2016 could be the start of the optimization of your entire Release of Information module (and that's okay).
- Get the right project leader (and sponsor)
A project doesn't work without one person who's ultimately responsible for it. Whether this person is internal to your organization or comes to you externally, you want to be sure this person can be both IT & project management-focused. Leading meetings, effective follow-up, building in the system, navigating your organization's change management system and previewing new workflows to end-users requires a mix of many different skill sets. Your project leader needs to be capable of shepherding the project through all of the steps. Also, don't underestimate the importance of having an executive level team member who is both familiar with and publicly supports the high-level goals of this project.
- Reward the members of your team for this effort
No optimization project can move forward without a lot of effort and support from operational leaders. You know your managers will be spending time making decisions in meetings, testing out build, re-training their staff and maybe even leading efforts to work down all accounts/deficiencies, etc. in your system (along with their normal job duties). Highlighting their success to executives at your organization (i.e., giving them good PR) is a reward/recognition that doesn't cost money. Also, harmonizing (a better word for standardizing) workflows at your various locations saves everyone time and headache in the future.
Optimization is just one of The Wilshire Group's specialties, so whether you just want some guidance on jump-starting one of your needed projects or want to engage us to lead the effort, Wilshire is here to help!

I am currently on Oreo 8.1 using AEX5.8 rom and whenever I try to install one of these two dolby sound mods I get errors or the app just crashes when I try to open it. So my question is has any of you installed it successfully on Oreo 8.1, if so, how? because I remember I had installed Viper4Android + Dolby Digital Plus like a half a year ago when I was on AEX5.2 and Magisk16 version and both worked perfectly. But now only Viper4Android works and I can't get Dolby to work anymore.

For far too long, Florida Department of Corrections has gotten away with murder, medical neglect, and other grossly negligent abuses. The Miami Herald has exposed them nationally, time and again. And yet, while the department claims there has been "sweeping reforms" taking place, those inside and their loved ones tell much different stories. You would think that after the MURDER of Darren Rainey, who was literally BOILED ALIVE in a rigged, scalding hot shower, Tallahassee and the Feds would take notice and actually step in. Nope…in fact, no one was ever held accountable, no charges ever filed. The family of Mr. Rainey in seeking some form of justice filed a civil rights lawsuit which was just settled.
How can Secretary of Corrections for Florida Julie Jones sit behind her desk and continually co sign the murderous and abusive behavior of the officers she is in charge of? How can FLDLE, Governor Rick Scott and Jones continually turn a blind eye to what is going on in all Florida Prisons? That is the million dollar question and no one seems to have an answer.
Currently there is a work strike dubbed #OperationPush which began on Martin Luther King's birthday. A peaceful strike by the prisoners with the hope of drawing attention to the issues they are forced to endure on a daily basis. Fight Toxic Prisons (@FightXPrisons on Twitter) has been covering what FLDOC is doing to one prisoner who has chosen to write about the work strike (you can read about it here and here)
Flagrant civil rights abuses and torture are being inflicted upon Kevin "Rashid" Johnson. All because he wrote about the strike…nothing else. In Mr. Johnsons own words,
During early January 2018, my article, "Florida Prisoners Are Laying It Down," was published online, which discussed the prevalence of enforced slave labor in the Florida Department of Corruption (FDOC), the brutally inhumane conditions under which its prisoners live, and a planned nonviolent protest they were staging in efforts to bring attention and redress to these conditions.
Upon discovering my article online,[i] Barry Reddish, the warden of Florida State Prison (FSP), where I am confined, unleashed swift retaliation against me.
On Jan. 10, 2018, Reddish had his lieutenant, Martin Sanders, fabricate a disciplinary report (DR) against me, claiming my article was "inciting a riot" in the prisons – a facially bogus charge as anyone who reads my article can see, since it contains no language directing or encouraging prisoners to do anything and, furthermore, FDOC prisoners have no access to the internet where it was published.
What obviously incensed FDOC officials was my bearing witness to and publishing their abuses and giving a voice to their victims. Which amounts to nothing but constitutionally protected journalism (Via San Francisco Bay View).
A recent update states Mr. Johnson is OK for now. FOR NOW. FLDOC's vile history is concerning to say the least. If Murders in Custody do not get the attention of the Feds, what will it take?
We need to hyper focus on FLDOC now more than ever. We need to be the voice for those men and women inside who are subjected to cruel and inhumane treatment. If you know of issues going on inside, let us know by leaving comments here or on the Fight Toxic Prisons blog. Not one more human being should be harmed by the FLDOC Thugs!!!

University of Illinois economists released a report on Friday predicting that net incomes at grain farms will be lower in 2015.
The report said this decrease is expected to surpass recent downturns, with the potential to fall below levels experienced between 1998 and 2002. Despite this, they report that previous high incomes experienced in 2010, 2011 and 2012 could provide a cushion to some farms when incomes are expected to fall.
The report said many farms in the state improved their balance sheets, including increased values in land and machinery owned, increased asset values and decreased debt-to-asset positions. With higher past incomes, many farms were able to fortify marketable securities and inventories, as well as cover additional prepaid expenses.
Economists expect that farms will experience cash shortfalls. They suggest that farms should utilize any available working capital to bridge expected cash shortfalls. They also suggest that cost-cutting measures will likely need to be taken throughout 2016 because many costs associated with 2015 already have been incurred.
Suggested cost-cutting measures include reducing family living expenses, cash rents, and machinery, seed, fertilizer and chemical purchases.

HELLO! Thunder here! Having to choose one of the three pillars upon which 3DOGS was founded, and I chose "EAT WELL". If we are going to talk about food, should be the foremost qualified to deliberate since I'm the food connoisseur among the 3DOGS trio! As there is a saying all food must go thru' "Lab" Testing! Get it? Get it? No? Ok neh-mind…..
So… "EAT WELL". What does that mean? Of course, that means my human LOVES me so much and all he wants is to provide the best food available for my life stage. As our humans have different nutritional needs at different stages of their lives, we, as their doggy mate, too, require our own special needs and nutrition.
The humans have a saying, "A Hungry Man is an Angry Man". In our world, a Hungry Dog is a likewise an Angry Dog!!! When our humans feed us well, and give us the best food, coupled with the best possible nutrition, we are happy! We stay playful, attentive and are always in good spirits! Our eyes sparkle! And you can see our grinning smile.
Hey! All this food talk drives me crazy. I 'm going bug my human for some nom.
Till my next post, stay happy and enjoy the good life! And remember : ALL FOOD NEEDS TO BE LAB TESTED!

Relegalizing Marijuana would definitely help the American economy. Were we to stop prosecuting Marijuana "Violations," we would save Billions of dollars and create Billions more in new tax revenue. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of new jobs would be created not just in producing the product but in increasing the need for the objects needed to bring in a crop.
In Indiana, we could see an economic boom with Marijuana. Consider this: There is an estimated one million pot smokers in Indiana, probably more than that. The "Average" smoker uses a quarter ounce per week, an ounce per month. That's a million ounces. An average, indoor-grown plant will bear eight ounces every 90 days. That's 125,000 plants needed every month. Outdoor plants usually bear less, and you only get one outdoor crop per season. There are an estimated 100,000 medical needs patients in Indiana, using, on average, two ounces per month, or 200,000 ounces per month of strain-specific Marijuana. So we're up to 1,200,000 ounces of Marijuana per month, and we're up to 150,000 plants per month. Indiana has a $3.50 per gram tax. There are 273,600,000 grams in the above numbers. $957,600,000 of tax collected. The tax is, however, excessive and might drive the final price up to a point an underground economy might be worth the risk to some. At $2.00 per gram, the tax would still be a healthy $547,200,000…a little over a half billion new dollars. While these are estimates, and no accurate numbers exist for Indiana, this is a conservative estimate of the money to be made, right here in Indiana.
This article is from April, 2012, and I think these numbers are on the conservative side as well.

Review: Lou Barlow and the sound of a back yard show
About four songs into Lou Barlow's Thursday night performance in a residential back yard in the Heights a helicopter buzzed overhead. His face obscured by a formidable head of hair, Barlow pressed on with "Magnet's Coil," a song he recorded with Sebadoh in 1994, as though there were no distraction.
"The helicopter was in tune with that song," he said after he finished.
For a guy who wrote, "I've gotta find a way to loosen up/I'm wound tighter than a magnet's coil," Barlow appears to have found a way to loosen up.
The informal format was certainly a fan pleaser. If a song title was blurted from the 65 or 70 people gathered, Barlow eventually played it. If his guitar or baritone ukulele were tuned for the song, he'd play it immediately.
This performance was an intriguing one for me for a variety of reasons, not least of which is Barlow's association with so many mini-movements in a music industry that disintegrated almost overnight.
Barlow's career dates back to the 1980s, and in the years since he's been in a handful of bands, several of which have been successful. Deep Wound didn't do much, but morphed into Dinosaur Jr., which was a key player in the '80s underground that birthed '90s alternative. Barlow wasn't just an honorary godfather of that '90s scene, either. Having been unceremoniously ousted from Dinosaur Jr. he threw himself into Sebadoh and Folk Implosion and became a central figure in another scene. Sebadoh made a few enduring records. Folk Implosion sneaked into the Top 40 with "Natural One" in 1996, a song Barlow got out of the way quickly Thursday, playing it right after opening things with a loving cover of the Nightcrawler's perky nugget "Little Black Egg."
And the rest of the night proceeded that way: Barlow pulling songs from all over his 30-plus years writing them, with humorous asides and banter. Endearing even when delivering back-handed affinity for his host city: "I really like weather like this," he said, his shirt soaked. "Humid $#!++& weather."
The covers covered a lot of ground: In addition to the Nightcrawlers' garage classic, he offered up "The Oven Is My Friend," a punky speed-of-light song by Church Police that Sebadoh released on a single back in 1991, and a few '80s oddities: Foreigner's "Cold as Ice," and "Run to You" by Bryan Adams, using his bare foot and a nearby chair for percussion when he needed it.
"Did you know Bryan Adams is originally from Houston?" he said.
"That's not true."
The humor was considerably dryer than the air.
He introduced the Foreigner song by talking about moving to Los Angeles with a girlfriend. Unbeknownst to him, she agreed to the move because it put her closer to a guy she planned to dump Barlow for. One day she came home with a "Cold as Ice" single. Ta-da.
Or maybe that story was embellished. He also said, "I moved to Los Angeles because they delivered drugs to my door."
He told a story wanting to write a sort of Black Flag, Minor Threat type punk anthem. But he couldn't get past the fit, successful fathers who, like him, were dropping their children off at school. So he came up with a different sort of anthem in "State of Mine."
Anyway, I could natter on and on about song selection. Barlow did pull from all corners of his career, and I enjoyed the new tunes, particularly "Wave" as much as the old, familiar ones. Removed from the buzzing of electric guitars, his songs naturally took on a folky quality that fell somewhere between Nick Drake and Cat Stevens, except none of the songs faded away. Almost all of them ended abruptly, a reminder of Barlow's post-punk roots.
The entirety of the experience was unlike anything I'd seen before. This wasn't my first house concert, but typically house concerts feature in-state talent playing a back yard instead of a songwriter's club. Barlow could've booked a gig at a mid-sized club and likely pulled more than the assembled crowd. I don't know what the difference in finances would be for him. But about 60 paid at roughly $30 per, puts him at a couple of grand for this show.
But more than that, something about the format brought out the best in a crowd. There was no distracting conversation in the background. Even the peripheral sounds — children next door, sirens, freeway traffic — felt folded into the experience.
Maybe it helped that Barlow was the guy doing the show, and other songwriters wouldn't have fared as well. Unlike the obtuse J. Mascis, his Dinosaur Jr. colleague, Barlow has always been fairly emotionally direct in his songs. The found sounds of a back yard felt more complementary to what he was doing than the clanking of beer bottles in a club's trash can.
The yard was far from full, but they capped sales at 60, so by that metric, it was a sell out and presumably a success.
And that crowd made for an interplay that was endearing time and again. When somebody chirped for "Freak Scene," one of Mascis' Dinosaur Jr. songs, Barlow offered a brief snippet doing his best parodic version of his bandmate's voice.
But a proper Dinosaur Jr. show will swing back through Houston. They do every few years. This was a night to hear Barlow do "Love Is ... ," one of his Dinosaur tunes. And others like "Skull."
"That's a good trick," he said. "Get your kid to request it."
The occasional murmur of a singalong on a song like "Free to Go," "The Freed Man" and particularly "I Will" was charming, too.
As was Barlow's introduction of the lesser known songs.
"I'm gonna play some new songs you don't know you want to hear yet."
And he offered bunches of stories about drugs and broken hearts. Those would go over fine in a club. But outside on a mosquito-free night with the hum of cars zipping up and down I-45, they felt closer.
I didn't know about this show until late Tuesday night when a notice passed through my Facebook feed. The deal was simple: Buy a ticket and the day before the show, the promoter would email the address of the venue.
Having spent a couple of hours with Barlow in this setting made me eager to hear more songwriters do the same. To uncoil their magnets and loosen up.
"Do you need a beer?" someone asked.
"Do I NEED a beer?" Barlow pondered. "Do I WANT a beer? That's the question. Yes. Preferably an IPA. With an alcohol content above 7 percent. From somewhere within a 70 mile radius."

Unique Features: The new High Heat 257+ hybrid has Center of Gravity (CG) that is incredibly low and far back to help amateurs get the ball in the air and carry it further, and the same beta titanium face as the original.
The "3-trampoline technology" produces a clubface whose heel and toe areas actually have a greater CT than the center. That allows the amateur golfer to substantially reduce the distance lost on their toe and heel hits. The 257+ is "the great equalizer," as the extra CT makes up for the loss of energy caused by the off-center strikes.
Tester Comments: Complete forgiveness across the face … Heel, toe and center hits all traveled consistent distance and straight.
