Anyone notice a Tapjoy folder being created on your GN without your knowledge? I noticed this over the weekend, as the images appeared in my gallery. I researched a bit, and found they are a legit advertising company. However, this doesn't sway me from wanting to prevent them from placing pics/videos or whatever junk on my phone. I can't even find which app I installed that put the stuff on there. Anyone have any advice? Should I be worried about getting it off my phone?
Side note: The Tapjoy website has a 'opt-out' option... but I am suspicious. I also found an interesting post over on AndroidCentral:
People defending TapJoy, read their privacy policy. They're not innocent.
If you opt out, and then later visit one of their sites, then they can still track you. You just opt out of getting notified.
There's several reasons why Apple is constantly trying to ban them from their App Store.
I only hope that Google follows suit soon.
If it smells like a virus, acts like a virus, and pisses you off as much as a virus.....

Publication date – June 25, 2013
Summary: On the heels of a family tragedy, the last thing Katie Greene wants to do is move halfway across the world. Stuck with her aunt in Shizuoka, Japan, Katie feels lost. Alone. She doesn't know the language, she can barely hold a pair of chopsticks, and she can't seem to get the hang of taking her shoes off whenever she enters a building.
Then there's gorgeous but aloof Tomohiro, star of the school's kendo team. How did he really get the scar on his arm? Katie isn't prepared for the answer. But when she sees the things he draws start moving, there's no denying the truth: Tomo has a connection to the ancient gods of Japan, and being near Katie is causing his abilities to spiral out of control. If the wrong people notice, they'll both be targets.
Katie never wanted to move to Japan—now she may not make it out of the country alive.
Thoughts: I have an almost instinctive pull to books involving Japan, largely because I'm interested in the culture and language and like to immerse myself in both things as much as I can since I can't actually go there at the moment. Unfortunately, for a long time I seemed destined to be disappointed, since almost every SFF novel I read that incorporated Japan in some way did it, well, badly. Poor use of the language, having every Japanese character act like they popped out of a mech anime, you name it. I was starting to think that the only novels that might actually portray Japan anywhere near accurately would be the ones actually written in Japanese. (And alas, I don't read it well enough at the moment to make attempting that anything more than an exercise in translation, which wouldn't really allow me to sink into a story the way I can when it's in English.) I even found some of those issues in books that had been translated from Japanese into English, which, aside from being the sign of a poor translation, just didn't give me much hope that I'd ever manage to find what I was looking for.
Then along came Ink, and I was pleasantly surprised.
Katie is living with her aunt in Shizuoka, after the death of her mother, and she's not exactly happy with the arrangement. Her grasp of Japanese is just barely enough to get her by, she misses where she grew up, and that's all on top of experiencing a major family tragedy. Then she gets involved with Tomohiro, a mysterious boy from her school who has a bad reputation but turns out to be an artist and athlete with a huge secret. He's kami, a being somewhere between what we know as a god and a spirit, and far from being limited only to ancient stories and religious doctrine, he and his kind play a part in Japan's affairs even now. Tomohiro would rather suppress his abilities, preferring to keep them in the dark rather than letting them out and risking hurting those around him, but when the yakuza get involved, he might not have much choice in the matter.
If what I described sounds like it's also something right out of an anime, well, that's a pretty accurate judgment. But Sun manages to balance that element rather well with actual day-to-day life events; it was, in the beginning, more like a slice-of-life anime than a shoujo story with supernatural elements. And I kind of liked that, since it portrayed living in Japan as realistic. Kids go to school, they go to school clubs, they go home, they eat curry-rice, they watch ridiculous game shows on TV. Then the paranormal stuff comes in and makes it far more of a YA urban fantasy, the plot kicks up a notch and things get far more action-packed as Katie and Tomohiro try to keep his powers a secret from the thugs who want to use them to their advantage.
Sun also incorporates Japanese words and phrases in a way that I actually like. Most novels I've seen try to do that end up making the dialogue seem awkward, in part because the author's knowledge of Japanese seems, well, lacking. I don't claim to be fluent, but I know enough to be able to tell when the grammar is stilted or verb tenses are being used incorrectly. Sun makes mention in the author's notes that she actually consulted native speakers to make sure the characters were speaking like actual Japanese teenagers, a small step with big results. Those who are interested in the language can pick up a few new phrases, and those who already know enough to not need the glossary will be able to move along at a swift pace. (Personally, I was amused right from the cover, listing it as part of the Paper Gods series; the pun there is that depending on how it's written, kami can refer to either a god or paper.)
Ink is a quick read, decently-paced and with writing that flows well. What works against is it that it does come across very much like an anime in the wrong ways, with a reliance on stereotypes that get tired quickly. It's very predictable. The only character who seems to have much depth is Tomohiro, and even then it's only within the rather strict confines of the Bad Boy With A Soft Heart stereotype. If you read this book expecting anything other than what you'd get in a shoujo anime, you'll end up disappointed.
That being said, though, if that is what you're looking for, then Ink is going to trip all the right triggers.
I'm curious to read the sequel, since this is so far one of the very few novels to actually portray Japan in a way that doesn't grate on my nerves, and the plot got quite interesting toward the end, with Katie deciding to stay in Japan and with two sides fighting over Tomohiro's powers. There's a good amount of potential in that cliffhanger ending, and I want to see how it plays out. It's definitely an indulgence read, like ice cream, a treat when you want something that doesn't have to be amazing and blow-your-mind good but can still be enjoyable and fun. I can't say I'd recommend Ink to everyone, but as I said, for fans of shoujo anime and manga, it'll be right up their alley.

The Hidden Treasure of Full Trundle Bed
When it can be pricey to put in a trundle onto purchasing a bedframe, these pieces are usually soundly crafted of wood solids. After the trundle isn't slept on, its designed in a manner that you may use it to store all your belongings and prevent hanging things on the wall particularly if you don't have enough hanging space. For those people it is the perfect solution. It can also come in handy if there is a third kid that needs a bed or if you have a lot of guests that come over and need somewhere to sleep.
Getting the Best Full Trundle Bed
You may now begin using your bed! Rather, you merely have to purchase and utilize trundle beds instead. Trundle beds can be purchased in various sizes and needs to be appropriate to your youngster's age. They are for people of all ages, as they are just the same as a regular bed, just easy to put away. Our Custom XL Trundle bed has been shown to be one of our finest sellers.
The ideal thing about the bed is the way sturdy it is. By doing this you be sure that the bed is going to be level when both trundle bed mattresses are used at the very same time. Nowadays, trundle beds can be available in many diverse sizes. They make for an amazing choice for any child's room or in a guest bedroom too. They are known to be an inventive way to make your guests feel at home when they come to stay. You will appreciate a superior high quality trundle bed then!
The trundle is an extra mattress kept beneath the main daybed. Because it is close to the floor, it is excellent for toddlers and small children. Underneath the seat, there's a trundle with a mattress where people are able to sleep.
The bed has three drawers, which is enough room to keep all of your linen for an adequate room. Fortunately, with so many choices readily available, you shouldn't find it too difficult to obtain the ideal bed for your demands. Deciding on the proper bed for kids is extremely important.
1 thing that you'll need to know when you're looking into a trundle bed to buy is the sort of mattress you will buy for your bed. Trundle beds provide a wonderful space saving alternative. A trundle bed isn't going to go unused. Though a trundle bed isn't simple to build, it can be accomplished. Trundle beds are also helpful in a guest space, or in any little space at which you would love to have an additional bed. If you are in possession of a trundle day bed that pops up when it's opened up, you might have the ability to change it into a king sized bed as opposed to the more compact day sized bed.
Getting the Best Full Trundle Bed
The bed is composed of a platform support system which has adjustable legs. Rather than that, you own a bed that's ready when you want it. On the flip side, once the bed is made up, it can act as a wonderful seating area within the room. The trundle bed gives you twin additional sleeping space that's comfortable and spacious. Trundle beds are beds that normally have rollers on the bottom and can readily be slid under the major bed. Most trundle beds utilize exactly the same twin mattress employed in the majority of beds.

ARCHITECTS | 15 December 2010 :: Oscar Niemeyer's 103rd Birthday ::: Part 3 > Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre, Avilés
The second project to be inaugurated on Niemeyer's 103rd birthday was not built without controversy and some internecine rivalry between competing towns in Asturias, a depressed region of Spain, all wanting to cash in on the "Bilbao Effect" (see top link, below, for the full story).
Whether or not Avilés (huh?) will experience a boom in tourism remains to be seen. It does, however, have the distinction now of having the largest Niemeyer complex in Europe.
As far as the architecture is concerned, I'm not fully convinced that this is amongst Niemeyer's best works. But, with architecture, it's always unfair to judge before seeing with one's own eyes, so I guess another pilgrimage is in order …
Elements of the Centro Cultural Internacional Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre remind me of Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff's 1935 De La Warr Pavilion, arguably the first modernist building in Britain, in Bexhill-by-Sea. And that's a good thing. The Modern Era lives!
The complex stands on a 44,000-square-metre site owned by Avilés city council and the Avilés Port Authority.
It consists of four buildings linked by a grand plaza overlooking the Ria de Avilés and the city: a 4,000-square-metre exhibition space with a 20-metre-high dome; a wave-shaped auditorium with a unique reversible stage that can be turned to face the plaza; a tower with a luxe restaurant; and a multi-purpose wing housing a cinema, rehearsal spaces, meeting rooms and conference halls.
The inauguration of two buildings — the Centro Niemeyer in Avilés and the Oscar Niemeyer Foundation in Niterói — on the same day … has any architect had that honour before?

Transition Town Vincent Movie Night
"The Bentley Effect" – Transition Town Vincent Movie Night
October 8, 2018 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Paddington Ale House, 141 Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia, Australia
Come and join us at the Paddo where we will be watching "The Bentley Effect".
When the coal seam gas industry staked a claim on the Northern Rivers shire of Australia, alarm bells rang out. A critical mass of people from all walks of life – farmers, landowners, mums, dads, activists, scientists – organised themselves to rally against the unconventional gas invasion. Despite the enormous public opposition, the gas industry and the State Government were determined to see their gas plan through. A series of dramatic blockades ensued before the final battle lines were drawn in the peaceful farming valley of Bentley. Thousands of people flocked to the site to stare down the threat of 850 riot police, ordered in to break up the protest. What happened next set a historic precedent.
Filmed over five years, The Bentley Effect documents the highs and lows of the battle to keep a unique part of Australia gasfield-free. This timely story of a community's heroic stand shows how strategic direct action and peaceful protest can not only overcome industrial might and political short-sightedness … but it can also be a lot of fun.
It celebrates the non-violent 'Eureka Stockade' of our time and chronicles one of the fastest growing social movements we have ever witnessed.
Event Details
– The film starts at 6.30 pm. You will be able to arrive at any time.
– We supply some cushions, if you want to bring your own you are most welcome to.
– No need to print your ticket.
– We apologise that you will not be able to bring your own food and drink to the venue, you will be able to purchase these at The Paddo.

Seven Costly Energy Habits
The cold, winter months are settling in across Northwest Ohio. With the cold comes a change in your energy bills. Did you know that there are ways your habits can be costing you money? While not all related to the winter months, here's seven costly energy habits that are rather typical, but they are ones that can change easily.
Shorten your winter showers
Winter delivers a double whammy to your energy costs because hot water heating elements and gas burners work harder to heat the water in your hot water tank. Along with that, in the winter time, many people just stay in the shower to feel warm.
Not programming your programmable thermostat
The U.S. Department of Energy states that you could save 10% a year on heating and cooling if you adjust your thermostat 7-8 degrees for 8 hours a day. If you don't have a programmable thermostat, make it a habit to turn it down before going to bed.
Washing partial loads of laundry or dishes
It costs about $180.00 per year to run your dishwasher every day. Running it every other day will effectively cut that in half.
The cost of doing laundry 3 times a week is about $105.00 a year. This includes both washing and drying. Making sure your loads are full, and doing laundry once a week, can save you about $35 a year though, you want to avoid overloading them.
Both of these figures are based on average sized homes. If you have a larger family, your costs are higher, however, by making sure that you are doing full loads, you can still reap energy savings.
Shut the light off
Though it may not seem like it, leaving lights on does take a toll on your energy bill. Everyone is guilty of leaving the light on. However, it takes little effort to flip the switch. During the winter months, far more electricity is used to light our homes, so every little bit helps.
Shut the door
Standing in front of the refrigerator with the door open trying to figure out what to eat truly wastes electricity. According to Home Energy Magazine, opening and closing your refrigerator door accounts for 7% of its total energy usage.
Being careless with your refrigerator door throughout the year wastes the amount of energy that it takes to run your dishwasher 20 times (The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florida).
Sleeping with the TV on
If you sleep with one TV on in your house, it could cost you about $55.00 per year. That is equivalent to 5.5 months of Netflix, or a nice dinner out. Many people have a TV in their bedroom, and while this is convenient, the best practice may be to eliminate it so you don't fall asleep with it on.
Avoid phantom load
Even when appliances like the TV and DVD players, chargers for electronics, etc. are not in use, they are still drawing energy. Unplugging them when not in use will also help reduce your energy bill.
While these seven costly energy habits may not be a lot individually, combined, they can add up. By making a few small changes, you may see savings on your energy bills.

The 1,700 Erie County employees at the Rath Building have unwanted company – bed bugs.
Exterminators over three months have baited and sprayed eight floors of the downtown county office building after bed bug sightings. When a Comptroller's Office employee saw one crawling across her cubicle partition Friday, she called for help. Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw shut down his entire office for the day after completing payroll tasks that morning.
"Having bed bugs in the office is disgusting," Mychajliw said. "I erred on the side of caution."
County officials said the 16-floor Rath Building does not have an "infestation" of bed bugs. But with thousands of employees and members of the public coming and going through the building each day, some of these parasites are apparently hitching a ride into the building.
Dan Fitzgibbons, deputy commissioner for buildings and grounds, said the county has caught or identified about 10 bed bugs on different floors, with most employees seeing only one bed bug. Each time, he said, his department contacted Ashland Pest Control, which promptly dealt with the matter by baiting and spraying the areas.
The entire Rath Building was also shut down one weekend last month so that all of the building's elevators could be treated to keep the insects from migrating to other floors.
The Department of Social Services, which has the most interaction with the public, was among the first departments whose employees spotted the small, brown creatures in December.
Social Services supervisors subsequently attended mandatory training about the nuisance issue. The problem has raised enough concern among employees that the county's white collar union will host four employee training sessions with the union's regional health and safety administrator in early April.
"We're going to get the word out to everyone in the building," said Michele Weaver, who co-chairs the Civil Service Employees Association local committee for health and safety.
Employees who find the insects have been advised to capture them by placing clear tape on them, then sealing the tape around them. Administrators don't want the bugs killed and smushed because that makes them harder to identify. In a few instances, employees have mistaken pieces of lint or an apple seed for bed bugs.
The clear tape procedure is exactly what was used in the Comptroller's Office. Scott Kroll, deputy comptroller for the audit division, said he stuck tape to the back of the bed bug and watched its legs flail until he sealed the tape around it. The taped-up parasite remains in an envelope on his desk, he said.
The Comptroller's Office routinely deals with the public, as well as staffers from all other county departments. So it's possible the bug may have come in with a visitor, not just migrated through the building, department officials said. The bug was found near an office receptionist counter.
Bed bugs are small, nocturnal, blood-sucking insects that can go for months between feedings. They typically hide during the day. Immature bed bugs are tiny, off-white creatures that can mature into brown insects up to a quarter-inch long. Bed bug bites are not distinguishable from other types of bug bites, which lead to a raised red bump and itchiness.
Buffalo ranks 18th among 50 major metropolitan areas for bed bug problems, according to Orkin pest control company, based on the company's home and commercial treatment data.
Because bed bugs are rarely out in the open during the day, employees have expressed concern that the few insects that have been spotted and caught in the building may mean many more bed bugs are actually present. But Fitzgibbons said that whenever a bed bug is spotted, Ashland Pest Control inspects the area before spraying and has not yet found any clusters of these parasites.
The pest control company has told the county that it does not believe the Rath Building has an infestation or that a building-wide extermination is necessary.
If it becomes necessary, however, the county will act, Fitzgibbons said.
"They have not recommended that yet, but we are looking into it," he said.
Denise Szymura, president of the Civil Service Employees Association Local 815, said she's glad the county administration has taken prompt action whenever employees have encountered a bed bug.
"When they complain, it's looked into immediately," she said.
Though bed bugs are gross blood-eaters, they don't pose a major health threat and are less dangerous than other types of parasites. They transmit no viruses or diseases, and don't fly or jump. They are also incapable of climbing slick surfaces. Bed bugs on clothes or linens can also be killed when subjected to high heat, like in a clothes dryer.
Ashland Pest Control recommends employees remove clutter and excess personal items from office floors and under desks, where bed bugs are more likely to hide. Sensitive equipment and computers should also be covered if office treatment is necessary.

When creating estate plans, families often make provisions for minor children, including the financial care and guardianship of those minors. However, minors grow up and often head to college. When a Michigan family sends a now-grown child to college, it may be the perfect time to sit down and rethink an existing estate plan.
Residential real estate transactions require legal support
The buying, selling and renting of residential real estate property is a legal transaction, one that may be the most valuable transaction you make. Just like any other legal transaction, a residential real estate transaction can become complex and require legal intervention in the way of negotiations or litigation. Michigan homeowners and renters may benefit from a deeper understanding of what complications may arise or which situations may require legal intervention.
It takes more than a will to complete an estate plan
Just as everyone's estate is unique and valuable to them and their family, the process of creating an estate plan also needs to be unique and address the individual needs of those who are affected by that estate. However, many people think the process simply entails creating a will to explicitly say who gets what. Michigan residents should understand there can be much more needed aside from a complete and legal will.
Inheritance dispute still ongoing for Robin Williams' family
A year after his death, the family left behind by comedian Robin Williams is still having a dispute over items and funds the comic left behind. The inheritance dispute has been ongoing, and both sides will be meeting soon in order to come to some kind of resolution. The dispute currently making news in Michigan and elsewhere is between Robin Williams' wife and his children.
The creation of an estate plan is not just for the elderly
It is estimated that a large majority of young people have not thought about estate planning. The creation of an estate plan is often thought of as an elderly issue or an undertaking to be tackled once a certain level of wealth or assets has been accrued. However, young adults in Michigan may need an estate plan in place many years before they may traditionally think about such ventures.

Jackson, MS – Yanik Etan, Phi Theta Kappa's 2015-2016 International President and a student at College of Central Florida in Ocala, has been appointed to serve on Phi Theta Kappa's Board of Directors and Dr. Michael Odu, advisor of the chapter at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida, was elected by fellow advisors to serve as Advisor Representative to the Board of Directors.
Yanik Etan will serve as the Student Representative to the Board of Directors through April of 2016. He will meet with the Board during the Annual Winter Meeting and again in April 2016 during NerdNation, Phi Theta Kappa's annual convention.
Etan was elected International President during NerdNation, the Society's annual convention in San Antonio, Texas, in 2015. He will represent the Society during official events throughout the 2015-2016 academic year and will preside with his fellow officers over NerdNation 2016.
Prior to his election, Etan served his chapter in their elected position as Regional Service Chapter. He has also worked on the chapter's Honors in Action project and efforts for the Community College Completion Corps (C4).
"The most important issue facing community college students today is their ability to stay consistently motivated throughout the completion of their academic journey," Etan said. "Studies over the years have shown that there is a direct correlation associated with a student's level of motivation and their level of participation through extracurricular activities like Phi Theta Kappa."
Advisors attending NerdNation 2015 elected Dr. Michael Odu to serve as Chapter Advisor Representative to Phi Theta Kappa Board of Directors to serve a three-year term and possibly stand for re-election to a second three-year term. He replaces Dr. Dan Bailey of Kentucky, who just completed two terms as Advisor Representative to the Board of Directors.
A mathematics instructor, Dr. Odu is an alumnus of the Mu Rho Chapter at Daytona State College in Florida and has served as a chapter advisor for 13 years. He is also currently serving on the Florida Regional Advisory Board and is certified faculty member of Phi Theta Kappa's Leadership Development Studies Program.
"I consider my most important leadership role as furthering the cause of all stakeholders at my college," Dr. Odu said. "I reach beyond my membership by exposing our students to the many offerings of Phi Theta Kappa (such as Competitive Edge for members, CollegeFish, C4, College Project, and Honors in Action) which in turn catapults them to develop higher-level-cognitive and effective skills."
In addition, Acting Executive Director and Chief Information and Research Officer Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner will temporarily assume the role of Secretary of the Board of Directors.
According to the Constitution, the Executive Director recommends to the Executive Committee (International Officers) for approval candidates to serve on Phi Theta Kappa's Board of Directors for the alumni, international honorary member, and community college administrator positions. Each position may serve a three-year term, and as a provision of our Bylaws, may be renewed.This year, Alumni Representative Everett "Kip" Johnson had reached the end of the three-year term. During Convention, the Executive Committee met and unanimously voted to reappoint Johnson.
Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, is the largest honor society in higher education with 1,285 chapters on college campuses in all 50 of the United States, Canada, Germany, Peru, the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the British Virgin Islands, the United Arab Emirates and U.S. territorial possessions. More than 3 million students have been inducted since its founding in 1918, with approximately 134,000 students inducted annually.

text: Sylvia Wasp 57 Posted February 15 I'm considering getting into making jewellery and I need to buy some FP micro mesh for that purpose. The seller in question has a (rude IMO) 'no questions, no support, no refunds, no returns' kind of policy so I can't ask him the question before the purchase. The (stupid) question is ... I know "micro-mesh" is designed to be small, but how big can it actually get? Like, can I buy a "micro-mesh" item and then just drag the handles out until it's as big as a house? What would happen? What's the essential difference between "micro-mesh" and regular mesh anyway? Okay so I guess that's two questions lol. Sylvia 🙂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is this black blood that floes through the veins of our industrialised world? God's balm or the devil's excrement? What mythology inhabits this world? To what extent does it irreversibly affect us and our relationship with our surroundings?
Erna Ómarsdóttir and Damien Jalet have developed this piece thanks to the dancers from the Iceland Dance Company, inventing a contemporary ritual that explores the energy of an archaic trance set against a world in which instincts have been industrialised and dancers take on the form of fossils, industrial machines and pagan gods.

Should you try these gut health trends?
Fermented foods, prebiotics, colonics – nutritionist Reece Carter explores the trends worth trying, and those that may be best left alone.
Gut health is a big trend in health and wellness, that's certain. It's a popular area of study, and emerging research is quickly gathering to support the suggestion that gut health may have flow-on effects to other parts of our wellbeing, from mental health to immunity.
Most of the research is focused on understanding the microbial tenants that call our gut home. Bacteria – some good, some bad – occupy our digestive system, and in great numbers. The question is then, whether it's time to start considering the health of not just the human organism, but the entire human ecosystem.
It makes sense that diet can have a direct effect on the structure and function of the digestive tissues. That means there are potentially opportunities to take charge of our daily wellbeing by focusing on the gut. Here are some of the biggest trends in gut health – and which ones are worth trying.
Fermented foods
Fermentation, in this case, is a process of introducing bacteria to organic molecules in food. The bacteria then breaks the food down for energy, and the end result is a food product that contains live probiotics. Probiotics are an effective intervention for multiple digestive complaints, including IBS, so it makes sense that increasing them in our diet would be beneficial too.
So which fermented foods should you try? Yoghurt and other dairy-based fermented foods have the most research to back up their use, but you can also easily make your own sauerkraut and kimchi to include in your diet, which can be good options if you're avoiding dairy.
The downside of fermented foods, when compared to specially manufactured probiotic supplements, is you can't be sure of the level of active bacteria they contain. Due to lack of available evidence, the jury is still out on whether fermented and probiotic-containing foods are as effective as supplements for improving digestive symptoms. However, if you enjoy fermented foods in your diet, keep them up, as there will no doubt be some benefit to your gut.
Prebiotic fibre
Where dietary interventions show far more promise, however, is with prebiotics. Probiotics and prebiotics sound similar, but they play different roles in the gut. While probiotics are live beneficial bacteria, prebiotics are a type of fibre that moves through the digestive system undigested.
When prebiotic fibre reaches the gut bacteria intact, they ferment it themselves. That's right – they do the fermentation for you in the gut! Research shows that certain types of soluble prebiotic fibre can stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in your bowel. For example, fructooligosaccharides (FOS) such as those found in leeks, onion, asparagus, chicory and Jerusalem artichokes are thought to increase numbers of a good species of bacteria called Bifidobacteria. There is also hope around raffinose from lentils, and resistant starch from oats too.
It makes sense to start increasing these foods in your diet if you tolerate them, and consider a prebiotic supplement if your healthcare provider recommends it.
MORE: How to feed your gut flora.
Colonic irrigation
This one receives a big 'no' from me. Colonic enthusiasts swear that the procedure – which involves inserting a hose into your rectum and flushing out your bowel with water – will remove bad bacteria and detoxify the body. As delightful as that sounds, for now there's no research to suggest that's the case, but there are plenty of potential risks. I recommend sticking to increasing good bacteria through probiotics and prebiotic-rich plant-based foods instead.
No matter which trends tickle your fancy – remember to go and see your GP if things don't feel quite right.

Leather takes centre stage at Linea Pelle Spring/Summer 2013
Cautiously optimistic was the verdict on the recently concluded edition of Linea Pelle that took place in Bologna, Italy. From April 3rd to 5th Linea Pelle saw the major worldwide operators of the leather sector face to face with their new ideas and proposals for next Spring/Summer 2013.
With more than 1050 exhibitors from the world of leather, calf, footwear components, leather goods and furniture, from 41 countries, this was an occasion to restore confidence to an international market hungry for novelty, quality and price diversification.
The increase in foreign visitors during this year's Linea Pelle for Spring/Summer 2013, further strengthened the international position of our products, confirming known data and figures, especially in relation to Italian tannery turnovers: currently of a total of approximately 4.8 billion, 3.7 comes from exports.
Focused on fashion trends that will dominate Spring/Summer 2013, Linea Pelle showed encouraging prospects for the economy of the leather sector, although in the context of a market still wary of the global economic crisis that continues to have a significant effect.
For this reason, customers have become increasingly attentive to optimizing costs and expenses visiting stands and exhibitions with a more determined focus, not just driven by simple curiosity.
So, the customers arrived with well defined ideas, to the satisfaction of the many companies that had the opportunity of confirming orders – a real breath of fresh air with which to close their winter production and devote their full energies to the new season.
With an early 2012 marked by caution and by unexpected shortage of raw materials, the offering and demand at Linea Pelle remained confident, thanks to the strong assets of technical and style innovation, as well as quality performance.
Linea Pelle is well-known as a unique fair not only for the presentation and display of materials and products, but also for the range of events to which it gives life, providing opportunities for professional growth to all visitors who want to take part in training courses and seminars for those working in this industry, as well as introducing itself as an exceptional showcase for emerging talents. In other words, it is possible to discover the age-old craft of the tannery, composed of technical knowledge and experience, but also seek out tastes and trends, especially among the younger generations, who have highlighted a resurging interest in the tanning industry.
The biggest surprise at this year's Linea Pelle was the presence of the Italian designer Ermanno Scervino presenting a special collection celebrating Italian leather, on the Teatro Comunale stage, from swimsuits to evening dresses, delighting the Linea Pelle guests and entrepreneurs in one of the sectors that is considered the pearl of Made in Italy.
The designer-artist brought in over 40 runway looks – almost all entirely made of leather – from the spring/summer 2012 collections, the autumn/winter collections and some proposals from the archives, but reinterpreted in a contemporary way.
These prodigies of the Italian fashion and leather industries, like Scervino, continue to invest in new technological experimentation as well as in craftsmanship: the result is a leather that is enhanced by avant-garde processes, creating inlay motifs and laser-cut fringes.
According to Scervino, this is the way to continue to succeed, stand out from the crowd and capture the best markets in the world. Scervino received a well-deserved award from Salvatore Mercogliano – Managing Director of the Fair – for the creativity of his collections and for the attention he always pays to the leather, showing what and how much progress can be made in manufacturing techniques, in the use of innovative materials and in artistic design.
However, it is the leather itself – in all its possible variations – that was the real star of the fair: the high quality and diverse range of leather for which Italy is renowned.
Among the many Italian exhibitors, 264 were tanneries from the Santa Croce district, an area long known for its high technology and innovation in leather tanning , and we at Gleni couldn't certainly miss such an important event, because the leather with which we give life to our collections comes from these companies.
The new proposals for next season are really interesting and varied, like the calf that comes in a hand-painted version, from the inspiration of true artists, or the rediscovery of crust leather softened to look like calf, and goat skin, a very high quality leather that is suitable for special finishing details. Making its debut appearance was a transparent leather obtained from a system of tanning with vegetable and animal oils, initially adopted for shoes, but also tested for belts and accessories, furnishings and other interesting applications.
But, what are the most important innovations in exotic leather?
Certainly the world of reptiles could not go unnoticed, especially now it is the center of so much attention from the biggest fashion houses who are going wild over python, which is enhanced by special finishing and above all offered in three versions: shiny, nubuck and hand painted.
A certain crocodile leather from the skilled masters of the Santa Croce district,was a great success, which has a particular shiny finish given by hot irons.
Great demand was also demonstrated for ostrich leather, where the main new style was the highlighting of the characteristic polka dots in a shiny finish, so that they stand out in relief against a matt leather.
In terms of colors, bright and vivid tonalities triumphed, although white was the starting point of this season's range: dominating all is a light shade that sometimes appears pale and soft, sometimes it becomes more clear and contrasting.
Bold and confident shades prevail, which combined with white, create soft and natural discolored effects; there are also lots of fluorescent effects over pastel shades, or the return of earth tones, from mud to brown with all the gradations in between.
Very popular are combinations of two or three colors creating a flag effect, or the typical multicolored rainbow effect.
These are some of the innovations that impressed and interested us the most, to the point of starting work on samples for next season…. but don't miss the imminent presentation of Gleni's new collection that will really take your breath away.
So, keep on reading our blog and do not miss our next article!

Iris is leaving today for 10 days in Europe. While this isn't catastrophic, it means 10 days of not hearing his voice, not texting all day, and going back to Messenger and Gmail for communication. I quite honestly had enough of that during the year he was in Iraq. He's been back in the states less than two months; I feel like I just got him back, even if "back" means several states away. He's still here. I can pick up the phone and hear his voice if I want, and being able to do that after a year of 30-minute phone calls once or twice a month is still a novel concept to me. We met, became friends, feel in love, and decided to be together all over the internet (which if you'd ask me was possible a year ago, I'd have asked if you were stupid). I've quite frankly had my fill of talking to him over the fucking internet!
Sigh. But he is very excited for this trip. He is going alone, which I could never do, and will spend most days wandering one museum or another. He will fly to his parent's house when he gets back from London for Christmas/the rest of his leave time, then a week after that, he will be here with me for four nights, which is so freaking exciting.
Oh! Exciting things! Will be ordering everything (and maybe then some) on my "Christmas for Deviants" list come Tuesday. Monday if my bonus check clears sooner. I need to add a gag to the list, and maybe a blindfold. Possibly a hood for myself (for sensory deprivation, which I rather like but haven't' had the pleasure of doing more than once. I'm pretty sure Iris will make me squirm in all the fun, amazing ways, so thinking that either blindfold or hood is must.)
Again, it's great to be able to buy things for us to use as a couple. And to talk about the future in concrete terms. Like, next year for Christmas, my daughter and I will be with Iris and his family at their home. It's not a case of "if we are still together" or "if I like him enough then." Nope. It's very much, "Yep. That's our plans for next Christmas." Which is just so very <3.

Introduction: DIY Cardboard Bazooka
This is a flash project -- done in 30 minutes. Not accurately measured and assembled, but it brings happiness. It started when my kid found a fabric paper tube in front of the door. He was so exited that he took it in and ask me to transform it into a bazooka.
Well, it was Sunday and I was free. Then we started the project. He is so happy and that makes me think that I need to share this to others, but I don't have "behind the scene" photos. So I make another paper craft for instructables. Guess what?? Happiness got doubled for he can use the paper craft version with his Lego Mini Figures :D

Spread open your cardboard box and cut a rectangular shape. The width is proportional to the kid's hand grip around 1.5" to 2". The length is about 2.5x the desired grip length.
Fold it half horizontally, then fold a little at both ends to stick on the paper tube.
Stick the grip with transparent tape at the middle of the tube or slightly forward.
Step 3: The Support Grip
This step is the same with previous step. We are making a support grip to the 'heavy' bazooka, in front of the main grip. But this time I make a little modification, we are making a slope grip.
The cutting is no more rectangular but a 'greater-than' shape ( > ) . Follow the photos above and you'll get what I mean.
Step 4: The Shoulder Support
Prepare one large rectangle, there I marked two folding lines at the middle. We are going to form a rectangle box with it but the top side (both ends) is fold out a little (which is not drawn) as a place to stick to the paper tube just like the grip we made before.
Prepare the other two rectangles to form a support cross inside the box. Make half cut at each rectangle as photo #2 then slide them in to form an "X". Put the "X" inside the rectangle box as photo #3.
Stick the Shoulder Support at the back of the main grip.
Step 5: The Scope Holders
Cut two rectangles and fold them just like the main grip, a "V" shape with both ends fold out.
Place them in front of the paper tube, near the front end, side by side.
Step 6: The Scope
Cut a square. Fold into half and cut half circle at the folding side. So we get a square with a hole in it. Cut the scope holder half way to the paper tube. Cut the scope a little at the position of its holders. Slide it in the scope holder.
Step 7: The Missile
Make a small tube and a cone from rectangles. Place the cone pointy end inside the tube and cut the excessive. Flip the cone so that the pointy end facing out and stick it to the tube.
Step 8: The Missile Tail
Cut two pieces of trapezium shape. Cut one half way from the wide side. Cut the other one half way from the narrow side. Slip them in crossing each other. Put it inside the other open end of the tube.
Step 9: Launch!
We are done!
The kids are excited testing to launch the missile... in their imagination of course :D
The Grandpa is taking a role as counter terrorist with a machine gun build by my kids with Lego :)
Step 10: Scope Modification
My kid instructed me to modify the scope to the side instead of above the paper tube. I described to him on a paper. The next day, I found the new scope was installed ^_^
Summer... a good start for young makers ... ^_^
Step 11: See What We Make the Next Weekend
After the bazooka, I have more request for other guns. Well, three kids means three guns should be made. If you ask my eldest son, he can tell you the name top down after the bazooka :
- Karabiner 98K
- Thompson Submachine Gun
- Pistol Machine Gun
Check out this simple mechanical retract trigger added to the Karabiner :D

Hello Almighty JotForm Wizard,
I'm trying to have a form calculation always have 2 decimal points. I figured out how to do this with conditional calculations, but not with this particular form calculator field as it is calculated by the fields values and not through the conditional calculations.
Field: Total Estimated Cost
Note: Be sure to put a number in the Sqft field and check if the property is a rental or not. From there, you can select any options you want and calculations will appear.
- JotForm Support ManagerJim_RAnswered on September 15, 2016 at 06:26 PM
Hey @psllcom - To make the Form Calculation widget output 2 decimal places, click the Total Estimated Cost field > then the wand-like icon > on the Form Calculation options, click Show Advanced Options > tick the Show empty decimal places checkbox > then Finish
- psllcomAnswered on September 16, 2016 at 10:48 AM
Wow. I looked everywhere for an additional options thing. I even checked under the .../more functions thing.
Thanks for your help.

Dance Like No-one's Watching – The role of honeybee communication in colony well being
A talk by Lynne Ingrams
Lynne, who is a Master Beekeeper, explored the Why? and How? of the many different forms of communication between bees, how they respond to their environment, and how this affects the ability of the colony to survive and thrive.
The honeybee colony is often referred to as a super-organism, which means an organism consisting of many individual organisms. The term describes a social unit of animals such as honey bees, bumble bees and ants, which have highly organized division of labour, and where individuals are not able to survive by themselves for any length of time.
Why do bees need to communicate?
There may be 60-70,000 bees in a small enclosed space, so there is a need to operate efficiently. There is also a need to respond swiftly to changing threats and opportunities. Ideally, actions need to be coordinated.
Information flow within the bee
The two main systems for communication within the bee are the nervous system and the endocrine system. The nervous system works very quickly with electrical messages passing to and from the brain to other parts of the bee. The endocrine system produces hormones, which are chemical messages. These are produced in cells or glands in one part of the body and affect cells in other parts of the organism. Thus they may be slower to act compared to nerve impulses.
Information flow within the colony
Because of bees' mobility they can use dance language, trophalaxis and messenger bees to convey information. Bees also produce pheromones that act on other bees through the hive atmosphere (see below). An example would be the sting pheromone which can produce a rapid response.
Division of labour
Queens and drones each have their own jobs in the colony. Workers, however, progress through a series of physiological changes to their bodies as they grow older, enabling them to sequentially act as nest cleaners, larval feeders, queen feeders, honey and nectar processors, wax makers, guards and lastly, foragers. This provides flexibility and a rapid response to changing situations.
How do bees respond to changes around them?
The colony relies on indirect stimulae of the shared environment and will respond accordingly. Thus if the temperature rises to a dangerous level more bees will be recruited to forage for water. Cold weather will produce a clustering response to protect the brood.
Lynne talked about the 'technologies' available to the bees within the superorganism. Thus scout bees recruiting house bees to a good nectar-producing flower will use dances, trophalaxis, antennation, vibration and scent. During swarming they will use pheromones, dances, vibration and piping.
Probably the best known is the scent of the queen which promotes colony cohesion. Workers produce Nasanov pheromone, the 'come hither' signal, and the alarm pheromone meaning 'come and help'. Drones produce their own pheromone used in DCAs and worker brood pheromone inhibits development of worker ovaries as well as stimulating pollen collection.
Food Regulation
Collection of nectar, pollen and water needs to be an efficient, coordinated operation with appropriate division of labour between foragers and storers/receivers. Nectar, for example, is supply driven. Ease of unloading back at the hive dictates what happens next. Too long (50 sec+), and the forager will do a tremble dance to recruit more receivers. A very quick response (less than 20 sec) and the forager will perform a waggle dance to recruit more foragers. An intermediate response time will produce a return to foraging.
There is also a stop signal used to decrease recruitment of foragers when it takes too long to unload. The returning bee will head butt waggle dancers and 'pipe', causing them to 'freeze'. Watch out for this behaviour in your hives!
Another interesting behaviour you might see is the dorso-ventral abdominal vibration or DVAV. This signal is used to recruit non-foragers to forage when there is a long period of flow or a new flow after a dearth. New recruits either go to the dance floor to watch waggle dancers or fly direct to the forage if previously visited.
Pollen regulation within the colony is demand driven. Nurse bees consume pollen and produce protein rich food for foragers. A plentiful supply of high protein quality will tend to inhibit pollen collection whereas fewer feeds or lower protein quality will tend to stimulate pollen collection.
Water regulation is also demand driven, for example when temperatures are high. The response is to recruit unemployed foragers to increase water collection without affecting nectar collection.
Communication within swarming
On the day of the swarm the workers are prompted by a piping signal to warm their wing muscles in the last hour before setting off. Just before setting off, the colony is activated into flight by a few bees performing buzzing runs in the hive. The swarm then settles into a cluster nearby to check they still have the queen, detectable by her pheromones. Nest site selection is arrived at by competing waggle dancers and when consensus is reached the colony lifts off with more piping signals and the scout bees guide the mass by buzzing runs through the moving swarm to the new nest. Finally, bees will be seen at the entrance fanning Nasanov pheromone to guide the stragglers in.
There are many more ways in which bees communicate and probably just as many that we have yet to learn about!

$1.2m Gates grant for bacteria research
Finding new ways of combatting the leading bacterial cause of human gastroenteritis is the target of a new project funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Scientists from the Quadram Institute on the Norwich Research Park and The Child Health Research Foundation (CHRF) in Dhaka, led by the Milken Institute School of Public Health (Milken Institute SPH) at the George Washington University (GW) will together develop the most comprehensive picture yet of the emergence and transmission of Campylobacter bacteria, in rural Bangladesh.
Hundreds of millions of people are affected by diarrheal disease each year, many of them children under five. Campylobacter is estimated to be responsible for one in four of these cases, making it a major burden on healthcare, especially in resource-poor settings.
By understanding more about how the bacteria move around the environment, livestock and people, it's hoped that ways can be found to reduce its impact. In the UK, Campylobacter is the leading cause of food poisoning, with most cases attributed to eating or handling contaminated poultry meat. But in low and middle income countries, transmission of Campylobacter to children is via more diverse channels.
It may be picked up from contaminated water supplies or the environment, or from contact with waste from other people, poultry or the wild bird population.
Researchers will use genomic techniques to identify specific subtypes of Campylobacter and then use their genetic fingerprints to trace where they emerge and how they are transmitted.
"We are very excited to be working with CHRF and GW to be bringing together human, behavioural, livestock, wildlife and microbial metagenomic data to analyse Campylobacter's transmission. This is truly a One Health approach," said Professor John Wain from the Quadram Institute and the University of East Anglia.
Closer to home, Quadram scientists have developed a test that differentiates between buffalo and cow's milk, and between the cheeses made from them. Applying the test to commercial products, they found that many restaurant meals and supermarket pizzas claiming to be buffalo mozzarella are mislabelled, and instead contain mozzarella made wholly or partially from cows' milk.
Buffalo milk commands a premium price compared to cows' milk and is used to make mozzarella cheese. Products labelled as "buffalo mozzarella" must be made solely with buffalo milk, and not with milk from any other species. Mozzarella can also be made with cows' milk, but this is a much lower priced product. Buffalo mozzarella is thus a target for fraudsters, either through mislabelling of cow's milk mozzarella, or by partial substitution of buffalo with cows' milk during production.
Because of this potential for fraud, tests that can detect adulteration are needed. To stay ahead of the fraudsters, scientists are constantly working to improve the effectiveness of analytical techniques, as well as making them practical for uptake by the food industry.
Professor Kate Kemsley and her team at the Quadram Institute have developed a new method for testing the authenticity of buffalo mozzarella. The work was carried out as part of the FoodIntegrity project, funded by the EU's Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development.

Let's say you've just finished doing some renovations to the landscaping in your front or backyard and you now have a bunch of broken concrete chunks lying around the premises. Should you have them hauled away or can you figure out a way to turn an eyesore into something attractive and/or useful? Having it hauled away may not be the most ecologically sound thing to do because you know where it'll likely end up, yet getting a little creative with these excess chunks of urbanite (concrete from the city?) may add some flare and additional curb appeal to your home.
Broken Concrete and Flowerbeds
You may be surprised to find that broken concrete is being used to enhance the overall appearance of flowerbeds and walkways with a variety of decorative patterns. If you've got a green thumb, chances are you'll want to allow your foliage arrangements to stand out by adding some pieces of broken concrete to the backdrop, thus giving it more of an attractive look with an array of decorative rock formations. When strategically placed within the greenery, you'd be amazed at how many different combinations can be used to solidify your garden. All it takes is a small shovel or trowel and a little bit of elbow grease to create a miniature oasis or two on your property. Many homeowners have also used broken pieces of concrete as a perimeter for their garden areas as well.
Broken Concrete and Clean Fill Projects
Clean fill is a term used in the world of concrete as an excellent type of filler for installing new driveways and backyard decks. Whether using asphalt or any other type of cement to pave your new driveway, pieces of broken concrete can be implemented as a solid filler while saving you some time, trouble, and money as well. And believe it or not, these chunks of concrete are solid foundation bonding agents, which can help to reduce the amount of cracking in your driveway over time. The same principle applies to backyard decks with raised foundations thus adding some sturdiness underneath the planks of wood.
Broken Concrete Walkways
One of the oldest and most battle-tested methods for using broken concrete is to build your very own walkway. Depending upon the overall landscape of your home, flagstone fragments are the most commonly used material for entry ways in the front yard, or encompassing backyard pools and flowerbeds. Although you may need to pour a little fresh concrete of your own, some amazing designs and patterns can be created. If you can possibly manage the time, collect all of your broken concrete slabs and envision how you want it to turn out. It's a good idea to stake in some flexible wooden edgings and then place the concrete slab arrangement to your liking. You may need a rubber mallet, a few bags of fresh concrete and a wheelbarrow in order to complete the job, yet it's a job well-worth completing, and it may turn out to be a lot of fun.
If none of these ideas sound like they'd be worth the time or the trouble, you can always call us at Junk-King or book an appointment online and we'll be happy to pick up all of your broken concrete. You may also want to take comfort in the fact that we work very closely with a number of concrete recycling plants, meaning that your unwanted concrete will find a home and be used elsewhere, rather than cluttering up the nearest landfill. Either way, everybody wins!

- Online retail sales up 17.8% in September 2019-10-31
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on October 30 that online retail sales in Korea went up 17.8 percent year-on-year in September. Sales at brick-and-mortar stores, on the other hand, decreased 5 percent. As a result, overall retail sales inched up 2.7 percent.
These findings are based on surveys of 26 major retailers. Half of them are offline retailers: three department store chains, three hypermarket chains, three convenience store chains, and four super supermarket (SSM) operators. The other half are online retailers: nine major online sellers and four online shopping intermediaries.
Sales at physical stores decreased mainly because of a decline in demand for food and fashion/accessories. Earlier Chuseok holidays and the warmer weather compared to last year contributed to the weaker demand.
The only type of offline retailers that experienced sales growth was convenience stores. Sales at convenience stores increased 2.8 percent on the back of over-the-counter medicines and desserts.
Sales at SSMs went down 7.1 percent as the number of stores decreased by 31 compared to last year. Among items, food saw a sales decrease of 6.9 percent.
Department stores saw a 5.6 percent decrease in sales. A sales decline was noticeable among fashion items: women's suits (down 4.7 percent), women's casual clothing (down 17.8 percent), and men's clothing (down 6.2 percent).
Sales at hypermarkets dropped 9.6 percent mostly due to clothing (down 22.3 percent) and food (down 8.6 percent).
For web-based retailers, sales at both online sellers and online shopping intermediaries improved.
Sales at online sellers climbed up 11.0 percent. Sales of home appliances jumped 48.1 percent, and those of fashion/clothing grew 13.0 percent.
Online shopping intermediaries saw a sales improvement of 20.5 percent. Sales of home appliances and household goods increased 26.1 percent and 37.0 percent, respectively.
By product, a year-on-year sales increase was seen in every category except for fashion/accessories (down 0.8 percent) and food (down 2.8 percent). Products that posted sales growth were home appliances (up 19.3 percent), kids/sports (up 1.7 percent), household goods (up 10.7 percent), service/others (up 1.1 percent), and global brands (up 14.7 percent).

2. How do stigmas in the church world, compare to those outside the church?
3. Reflect on the passages highlighted in the translation, The Message.
My insides are turned inside out; sectors of death have me down. I shake with fear, I shudder from head to foot. "Who will give me wings," I ask – "Wings like a dove?" Get me out of here on dove wings; I want some peace and quiet. I want a walk in the country, I want a cabin in the woods. I'm desperate for a change from rage and stormy weather. Psalm 55:4-8
"All my insides are on fire, my body is a wreck. I'm on my last legs; I've had it. My life is a vomit of groans." Psalm 38:8
4. How is knowing that David spoke these words, helpful or not helpful when it comes to understanding depression?
5. How well do you believe that God knows our struggles with mental health? How does Jesus show understanding and compassion towards those who suffer with depression and/or anxiety? (Think about the stories of those he healed).
6. If you or a loved one need support in this area, who is there you could trust for help? What would it take for you to be comfortable in asking for help?

From the Pope's 2011 Lenten Message
"In synthesis, the Lenten journey, in which we are invited to contemplate the Mystery of the Cross, is meant to reproduce within us "the pattern of his death" (Ph 3: 10), so as to effect a deep conversion in our lives; that we may be transformed by the action of the Holy Spirit, like St. Paul on the road to Damascus; that we may firmly orient our existence according to the will of God; that we may be freed of our egoism, overcoming the instinct to dominate others and opening us to the love of Christ. The Lenten period is a favorable time to recognize our weakness and to accept, through a sincere inventory of our life, the renewing Grace of the Sacrament of Penance, and walk resolutely towards Christ.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, through the personal encounter with our Redeemer and through fasting, almsgiving and prayer, the journey of conversion towards Easter leads us to rediscover our Baptism. This Lent, let us renew our acceptance of the Grace that God bestowed upon us at that moment, so that it may illuminate and guide all of our actions. What the Sacrament signifies and realizes, we are called to experience every day by following Christ in an ever more generous and authentic manner. In this our itinerary, let us entrust ourselves to the Virgin Mary, who generated the Word of God in faith and in the flesh, so that we may immerse ourselves – just as she did – in the death and resurrection of her Son Jesus, and possess eternal life."

U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-16th, whose district contains a large swath of Butler County, tested positive for COVID-19, his office announced Friday.
In a Friday statement, Kelly said he began experiencing mild flu-like symptoms early the week of March 23 and his physician ordered a COVID-19 test. The congressman obtained the test at the drive-through site at Butler Memorial Hospital, and his results came back positive Friday afternoon.
Kelly is the fifth sitting member of Congress — and the fourth in the U.S. House — to test positive for the respiratory illness. He said his symptoms, which he did not specify, are mild.
"My symptoms remain mild, and I will serve the 16th District from home until I fully recover," his statement read.
