Here is another entry for the category 'Then and Now'.
Jul. 2005 : The unobstructed view of the Space Needle from the top of Denny Way, where it crosses over I-5.
Dec. 2019 : The giant 41-story apartment towers at 1120 Denny Way are now squeezing out the Space Needle views that had remained. If one stands in just the right spot, the Needle's top can still be seen — between the tree branches and the apartment towers.
I marked up just a few of the new South Lake Union buildings that had filled in the cityscape since 2005.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic which has Americans at home more than usual, the National Road Safety Foundation is still trying to raise awareness about April's designation as Distracted Driving Month.
The designation is used to call attention to behavior that NRSF says claims nearly 3,000 lives every year.
"In the midst of the global coronavirus pandemic, our collective minds understandably may not be on driving safety, except for those essential workers who must drive. But as most people now shelter in place, many of us still do drive, even if only locally to the grocery store. During that limited amount of driving, we still run the risk of being in a crash, especially as a result of driving while distracted," the nonprofit said in a news release this week.
"Distraction can be caused by many seemingly harmless things other than texting or talking on a cell phone," said Michelle Anderson, Director of Operations at The National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF), a non-profit group that promotes safe driving behavior. "Something as seemingly harmless as tuning the radio can be a dangerous distraction that takes a driver's mind off the road, with potentially deadly results."
From the press release:
Texting or talking, even with a hands-free device, creates a cognitive distraction, taking concentration off the main task at hand — driving. Texting takes the driver's eyes off the road for at least three or four seconds, which means at highway speeds you are driving blind for the length of a football field. Studies show that drivers who use hand-held devices are four times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to cause injuries. Using a cell phone while driving, whether it's hand-held or hands-free, impairs a driver's reaction time as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent.
A recent study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that 52 percent of respondents admitted to talking on a handheld cell phone while driving during the previous 30 days. More than 40 percent said they had read a text or email while behind the wheel and 32 percent said they had sent a text or email.
"Clearly, people's actions are not in step with the reality of distraction," said NRSF's Michelle Anderson. "A big part of the solution is simply to be aware of what causes distraction. That's why the NRSF encourages drivers to keep their eyes on the road, hands on the wheel and their mind on driving."
In addition to use of cell phones and texting, common distractions include buckling seatbelts and adjusting seats and mirrors while driving, using a GPS device, tuning the radio , CD or iPod, applying makeup, eating or drinking, reaching for personal belongings or even talking with fellow passengers.

Cannabis sales have been soaring since legalization in Canada but there's a lot more to come as the industry continues to change. With more retailers opening for business and the edibles market likely coming online this year, there's going to be many more growth opportunities. Here are some of the hottest cannabis stocks right now that are positioning themselves to take advantage of the fast-growing retail market.
Westleaf Inc (TSX-V:WL) (OTCQB: WSLFF)
Westleaf has been making a name for itself in the industry as it looks to become a dominant force in the retail market. It's set to become one of Canada's largest premium cannabis retailers after its acquisition of Canndara Canada Inc. earlier this year.
With many locations secured throughout Western Canada, Westleaf is banking on its unique store environment – Prairie Records – to attract consumers. However, The Company is more than just a retailer as its goal is to become vertically integrated as well.
The Company came closer to achieving that when they recently announced that it was making significant progress on its Thunderchild facility. With Westleaf "substantially completing" the exterior of the facility, it is now focusing on the interior. Once completed, the facility will produce around 14,600kg of flower annually in the large 130,00 square foot location.
Westleaf CEO Scott Hurd believes the facility will give The Company a big advantage:
This facility is designed to produce some of the highest quality cannabis in the industry. We expect it will provide us the source product to feed our extraction and processing facility in Calgary, Alberta and can be sold through our wholly owned retail stores, Prairie Records, now opening across Western Canada. This three-pronged approach provides us a unique advantage in the industry as we will be able to adjust product mix based on real time consumer feedback from the retail level and allow us to capture margin across the entire vertical cannabis chain.
In addition, Westleaf is also hoping to attract some more investors as it recently began trading on the over-the-counter market in the US under the ticker symbol WSLFF. It's an important step to help The Company not only to tap into more funding but also to gain more publicity south of the border.
Organigram Holdings Inc (TSX-V:OGI) (OTC: OGRMF)
Organigram is another company looking to have a big impact on the retail market. The Company recently announced that it had signed a Letter of Intent with the province of Quebec that will make it just the third licensed cannabis producer to have a distribution agreement in all 10 provinces.
We are proud to work with our partners across the country to help ensure Canadians have access to a reliable supply of premium cannabis products for both medical and adult recreational use. We look forward to continuing to build on these relationships as we look ahead to the legalization of cannabis edibles
– Organigram CEO Greg Engel
With a strong presence across the country, Organigram will be on the shelves of many different retailers and will have a big impact on how things play out in the industry. The Company recently said that it expects its sales to double in Q2, after already showing strong growth in Q1. Sales that quarter reached $14.5 million, eclipsing the $2.4 million in revenue that Organigram generated in the previous year. If it's able to keep up the pace, Organigram could end up among one of the bigger companies in the industry when all is said and done.
Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSX-V:N) (OTC: NXTTF)
Namaste has its sights set on the edibles market after making a big investment it believes could yield significant returns for the Company. Last week, Namaste announced that it was purchasing 49% of the shares in Choklat Inc., a Calgary-based chocolate manufacturer. Choklat already has a supply agreement with Sobeys and its products are in 70 retailers in Western Canada. Edibles are a very popular form of cannabis, and chocolate should be a big draw for consumers.
Not only does Choklat make good chocolate, but the technology that it possesses could make it very valuable once edibles are legalized.
As one of the only chocolate makers in Canada I had access to equipment and processes that other chocolatiers and confectioners don't have. My research led me to discoveries which, when legal, will allow us to infuse both THC and CBD into chocolate and sugar in such a way that there is absolutely no discernible "weed" flavour or smell, and with a dosage accuracy that is almost pharmaceutical grade.
– Choklat CEO Brad Churchill
Edibles have been very successful in the U.S. and they'll likely be staples in pot shops across Canada as well. If Namaste's and Choklat's products make it to the retail market, it could translate into additional sales for the Company.
The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF)
The Green Organic Dutchman, known as TGOD, is another company that's being aggressive in its pursuit of market share. Last month, the Company secured a supply deal with the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, which currently operates the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) – the only way cannabis customers can legally obtain marijuana in the country's largest province at this time. The deal is a great way for TGOD to penetrate that market. While Ontario will open up the market in April to private retailers, just 25 will be permitted initially, meaning the OCS will still likely be generating a lot of traffic.
This represents the first of many provincial supply agreements planned for our premium organic product as our domestic facilities near completion and production increases throughout 2019
– Green Organic Dutchman CEO Brian Athaide
However, the Company isn't stopping there as this week it announced it reached a deal for an extraction services contract with Valens Groworks Corp (CSE:VGW) which will help with TGOD's hemp strategy, especially if it plans to expand into the U.S. market. Valens will help purify cannabis and help produce high-quality resins and distillates.
Organic resonates with consumers, and Valens looks forward to helping accelerate TGOD's time to market with the launch of its hemp-derived CBD product line in the coming months
– Valens CEO Tyler Robson
Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc (TSX-V:EMH) (OTCQX: EMHTF)
Emerald Health recently increased its capacity for sales growth through its joint venture in Pure Sanfarms Corp., which now has over a million square feet of space that's licensed for cannabis cultivation. Given the supply issues plaguing the country, Emerald Health could help fill a big gap in the industry by producing more cannabis. Although The Company has generated limited sales thus far, that could soon change as it starts to accelerate production.
With Emerald's 50% stake in one of the largest fully operational cannabis production facilities in the world, we expect to realize significant economic value from Pure Sunfarms. We expect our supply agreement with Pure Sunfarms for 40% of its 2019 production, along with our Quebec and hemp operations, to support strong quarter to quarter sales growth this year.
– Emerald Health Therapeutics President and Executive Chairman Dr. Avtar Dhillon
With that sort of cultivation capacity, Emerald products could soon find its way into retail pot shops across the country.

Archaeologists and community members from the 1722 Waggonway Project excavating along the route of the Tranent Waggonway in East Lothian, the earliest railway in Scotland, have found evidence of three early timber railways lying one on top of the other. The discovery 'is without precedent', said railway historian and archaeologist Anthony Leslie Dawson, who considers the site to be 'of national significance'.
First constructed in 1722, the waggonway was built by William Dickson for the York Buildings Company to transport coal from Tranent to the salt pans at Cockenzie and Port Seton. Researchers from the Waggonway Project, who were searching for the structure of the railway's original track bed, have interpreted the three-tiered find as evidence of multiple early upgrades to the timber railway, with various phases of construction dating to 1722-1725, 1728-30, and 1743-44.
These upgrades included a change of gauge from an original 3ft 3 inches to 4ft in the second and third phases of activity. Although the project team said that the upgrades are formed of 'crudely cut timbers', the second phase of building activity, carried out after renowned Scottish architect and entrepreneur William Adam took over the lease of the waggonway, shows signs of having been 'extremely well-constructed'.
Anthony, who was involved in the excavation, said: 'Whilst we know these railways had a limited life-span due to their method of construction, to see this process of continual replacement and upgrade – including a change of gauge – in the archaeological record is outstanding. The waggonway excavation has shown that these waggonways are far more complex than the single-phase structures previously excavated, and the survival of timber on site, including joints, helps us further understand the construction of these early railways.'
The railway was built over 'boggy ground' on a trackway of 'timber corduroy' – a construction technique 'used by the Romans and famously by George Stephenson in building the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (1830),' said Anthony.
The site, which also features a multi-phase iron railway, is 'a microcosm' of 'national trends in railway technology', according to Anthony, who added that 'the 1722 Waggonway Project has, over only three days, added immensely to our knowledge about early wooden railways. It has rewritten our understanding of Scottish railway history.'

hate switching plates from binos to spotter, and now I don't need to. One more quality part of the system that makes me more efficient in field.
Nothing to dislike here... their fluid pan is stable and smooth, and having this extra plate let's me switch between the binocular mount for the spotting scope without tools. The plate is very well made, it glides inside the mount and locks down tight.
Quick, speedy purchase. Timely delivery as requested.
I can sit behind the glass for hours, with the Sirui head on my Slik 733... it's a no brainer! The quick attach plates make it effortless when switching between binos and spotter!
Definite repeat customer.
The Sirui VA-5 that I got this plate for is incredible to say the least. However, something that blew me away, despite it being so simple, is this plate! It's most definitely the highest quality tripod plate that I've had the pleasure of using. The fit is perfect and changing between spotting scope and binoculars on the tripod is a snap. Another thing to add, as funny as this sounds, is it's also easy on the eyes. = )

Volvo's official motorsport arm and burgeoning tuning division Polestar has come up with a new assortment of dealer-fitted upgrades designed to make your standard Volvo quicker and more fun behind the wheel. Best of all, the upgrades are made with certified emissions and fuel consumption and leave your official Volvo warranty untouched.
ALSO SEE: Latest LaFerrari Crash Is Worst Yet
Polestar first started offering engine software upgrades back in 2011 and later branched out into building dedicated performance models in the form of the 2015 S60 and V60 Polestar. Now the Swedish firm has come up with some software upgrades for the latest Drive-E range of four-cylinder engines as well as some for the drivetrain.
The upgrades focus on mid-range performance to improve the driving experience and drivability, and were developed using knowledge gained in development of the dedicated S60 and V60 Polestar models as well as Polestar's motorsport program. The good news is that they're available for most Volvo models equipped with a Drive-E engine and includes optimized engine performance, throttle response (both on- and off-throttle), and gearshift speed and precision (for automatics only).
For engine performance, Polestar tells us that the upgrades boost mid-range performance, which helps when you need a burst of power during overtaking or entering a busy highway. For the throttle response, the engine responds faster for on-throttle demands with the upgrades. And when lifting off the pedal quickly, the engine has been calibrated to provide a faster response here too.
WATCH: 1,000-HP Nissan GT-R Drift Car: Video
Finally, for the gearbox, the upgrades mean shift speed has been increased, allowing the car to accelerate faster and react more direct to the commands of the driver. In addition to this, gearshift points have been calibrated to efficiently utilize the optimized mid-range performance of the engine, and a new gear hold function holds the gear during cornering at high lateral g-forces, preventing unwanted gearshifts mid-corner that can unsettle the balance of the car.
Volvo says the first of the Polestar upgrades will be available in late June, though availability at your local dealership may differ. And there is more coming, with Polestar promising more than 140 different variations of optimizations to be released over the coming months.

Skeletal developmental genetics
As genetic mutations underpin an incredible spectrum of human disease, our group aims to understand the genetic mechanisms that regulate correct organ formation during embryonic development. In particular, we use genetic animal models to understand how the craniofacial skeleton, neural tube and brain, and epithelial tissue of the epididymis and skin are established. Utilising mice, zebrafish, cell culture and DNA from human patients with craniofacial defects, our group aims to uncover conserved molecular pathways which regulate correct patterning and formation of vertebrates.
Our routine techniques include:
- Analysis of genetically-modified mouse and zebrafish embryos
- Microinjection of zebrafish embryos
- genetic manipulation of zebrafish embryos to create new lines
- growth of mouse embryo jaw explants in culture
- restriction enzyme digestion and cloning
- in-situ hybridisation
Current projects
- Analysis of the GRHL, IRF6 and PLAG1 genes in development
- Assessing novel Gene-Environment Interactions (GxE) in structural and behavioural defects
- Characterising alterations in animal behaviour as a direct consequence of genetic mutations
- Generation of genetically-modified zebrafish models to study craniofacial development

'India Must Go With Two Spinners At The Oval', Says Monty Panesar
In 140 years of Test match history, this is the first time that the iconic South London ground is hosting a Test match in the month of June when the pitch is green and fresh.
An Oval Test match in the month of June does bring in the fear of unknown but former England left-arm spinner Monty Panesar would still want Indian team management to field both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the upcoming World Test Championship final against Australia. The WTC final will be played at the Oval from June 7-11. In 140 years of Test match history, this is the first time that the iconic South London ground is hosting a Test match in the month of June when the pitch is green and fresh.
A Test match at the Oval is always the last game of a series for the visiting side, either during end of August or early September when pitches are dry and aid slow bowlers.
"It is one pitch in England you tend to play two spinners. If the ball turns, there is bounce as well for the spinners. In my view the wicket will be flat. In these conditions, it will suit India if they play two spinners. We have already seen Australia struggling against spinners, especially from India," Panesar, who featured in 50 Tests for England, told PTI.
Playing two spinners did not work out for India in the WTC final at Southampton two years ago but Panesar feels the Rohit Sharma led side will be better served with that combination at The Oval.
"The weather has been hot and we are seeing the ball turning even in some T20 Blast games in London. I also don't see them keeping grass because they would want the match to last at least four days," Panesar added.
Talking about the pace department, Panesar picked Umesh Yadav as the third pacer ahead of Shardul Thakur. Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are automatic selections in the playing eleven.
"It will also be interesting to see who the seamers will be as they have lot of options there as well. India are the stronger side in my opinion on all fronts. As they will get extra batting options with Ashwin and Jadeja, I would go with Umesh as the third pacer.
"He is the guy Rohit can go to and say 'I want you to bowl five overs at 140 plus and rough up the Australian batters'. You will need that extra pace," said the 41-year-old.
He also expects reverse swing to play a huge role in the game.
"The ball does reverse at The Oval and we have seen how good the Indian bowlers are when it comes to reverse swing. They can get the ball to move more than the Australian pacers.
"It is for India to lose this game. They have all going for them and they just need to perform as per their skills," feels England's hero during the 2012 away series in India.
'Pujara will be the x-factor batter for India'
Panesar has made an interesting choice by picking Sussex captain Cheteswar Pujara as the x-factor player for India.
The right-hander has got tons of runs in county cricket over the last two seasons and was the only one playing red cricket when others were busy with the IPL.
"The Indian top-order is in form. The conditions will be similar to the Wankhede pitch which is fast and bouncy. My x factor batter will be Pujara because he has done so well in these English conditions for Sussex. He is the guy who binds this batting line up together," he reasoned.
What makes Pujara special is his patience and ability to grind down this Australian attack which he has done successfully back-to-back series in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
"He is good with his defence and if the ball is going to do a little bit, he can negotiate the Aussie bowlers and when the pitch is flat, the others can cash in with some attacking cricket," said Panesar, who also picked Ishan Kishan over KS Bharat as the wicketkeeper-batter in the side.
"You don't need to be an extraordinary wicketkeeper in England. He has been keeping and batting well. He should play ahead of Bharat." On comeback man Ajinkya Rahane, he added: "He scored a fantastic hundred at Lord's and M S Dhoni has reinvented him. There are not many players who can bat like he did in the IPL. He is a fine timer of the ball."
Mitchell Starc provides the x-factor for Australia
Panesar concluded by saying that India need to be wary of Mitchell Starc in all phases of the game.
"For Australia, Starc will be the one to watch out for. He is going to be quick and he is going to get that late movement. He can change the game with one spell. He is the guy Australia will go to when they need a wicket," he added.

text: : We are looking for software that allows the presentation of images for self study. (Used in first and second year Botany classes). Background: at present, we use slide projectors coupled with PCs. The software (in basic) asks questions about the slides. The software tells students if they are correct. If incorrect, they get a second try. The program also records their score. Obviously, the students manually run the slide projector. The the software is preprogramed for the order of the slides in the tray. What our goal is: We essentially want to get rid of the slide projectors. By scanning the slide on to a (hard) disk we hope to intergrate the slides into a software package which calls up the slide (and on the same screen) asks questions about that picture, and scores their answer. Hopes and dreams: - Pictures should be easily scanned in and stored so they are easy to upgrade. - Program should have both the picture and the questions on the same screen, i.e. size of picture must not fill the whole screen. - We would like all the slides to fit on a hard disk (maybe 500 color images), hence "smaller" image files are best. - Oh, and if the software is cheap (or shareware) it would be a bonus for those students who put it on their own computers. : Any replies to jclewin at mtu.edu (1st choice) or jmglime at mtu.edu (2nd choice) or this group (I'll summarize if their is a call for it).

This creamy rice pudding gets its sweet goodness from ripe banana and honey. It is a great way to turn leftover rice into a simple and delicious dessert.
Turn an overripe banana and leftover rice in to a cozy comforting dessert. It will satisfy your sweet tooth without processed sugar.
Somehow it happened that we had one lone overripe banana in the house. Usually I try to make sure we have a few at a time so I can make Di's Banana Cake or these delicious Banana Oat Muffins.
I just made a batch of our favorite Whole Grain Banana Yogurt Pancakes for Fat Tuesday, so those were out. What the heck was I going to do with one banana?! Then genius struck!
This is one of those clean out the refrigerator dishes that tastes so good too. Some leftover rice from last night's dinner, that old banana on the counter that had better be used today or it is going to be nothing but a gooey mess and some pantry staples and voila!
This would make a perfect snack or a great healthier dessert. Heck, it would be a tasty breakfast as well! It is perfect for toddlers and adults alike.
This recipe isn't overly sweet, and it gets most of its sugar from the banana. If you banana isn't as ripe as mine was, you may want to give it a taste and either drizzle with a little more honey or stir some in.
I was fine with it just as is, but you can certainly do it your way. In just over 10 minutes I had my first serving.
I just love warm rice pudding! The rest went into the fridge for later. It was really good cold too.

Or, if you don't have leftover rice but still want rice pudding in a jif, try making rice pudding in the instant pot. It starts with raw rice but gets you that bowl of creamy deliciousness with very little effort.
Love this recipe? Give it a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review in the recipe card below!
Banana Rice Pudding
- 1½ cups prepared rice
- 1 banana ripe
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- More cinnamon for serving
- Place banana, milk, honey, cinnamon and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. Place rice and banana mixture in a medium saucepan (use one larger than you'd think, the milk mixture will foam and expand while you are cooking it.)
- Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- I love eating a serving while it is still warm, but if you like your rice pudding cold just refrigerate for about an hour or until chilled.
- Serve with an additional sprinkle of cinnamon.

Goodbye, Aunt Jemima! Say Hello to the Pearl Milling Company
Aunt Jemima's new name is finally here after months of teasers, and it's causing some seriously divisive reactions among consumers.
In the wake of racial injustice protests over the summer of 2020, Aunt Jemima's parent company, Quaker Oats, announced that the longstanding breakfast food company will no longer go by its famed moniker.
Upon the initial announcement being shared months ago, consumers were immediately divided over if the decision was actually a move towards racial equality or an empty gesture from a corporation. Now, the change has finally been exacted, and Aunt Jemima has been rebranded as the Pearl Milling Company.
So, what are the details behind why this massive change came to be, and how are fans of one of America's biggest breakfast brands reacting to the re-labeling of their favorite syrups and pancake mixes? Here's a breakdown of the situation.
Aunt Jemima's new name was spurred by racial injustice protests.
The summer of 2020 proved to be historic with regard to the sheer number of protests and number of people participating in said protests across the globe in response to police brutality and racial injustice. As more and more people became more aware of the situation than ever before, many began pressuring their favorite brands to address the issues, make donations, and act in various other ways to support racial justice causes.
At that very time, Quaker Oats decided that the best way to respond to racial equality calls was to completely rebrand their long-standing breakfast food line so that it no longer featured a caricature of a formerly enslaved woman, effectively putting Aunt Jemima to rest and offering a more PC rebranding for the company without changing its core products.
The Aunt Jemima logo was originally based on Nancy Green, a formerly enslaved woman, nanny, and cook who would go on to become the first living trademark in the world when the company advertised her as its spokesperson in 1893.
Quaker Oats chose the Pearl Milling Company name to be more politically correct.
In a statement issued via their redesigned website, the company explained the name change as a natural progression due to the fact that the name Aunt Jemima no longer reflected the company's core values.
"Last June, PepsiCo and The Quaker Oats Company made a commitment to change the name and image of Aunt Jemima, recognizing that they do not reflect our core values," they wrote on the new website, adding, "Throughout the effort that led to the new Pearl Milling Company name, Quaker worked with consumers, employees, external cultural and subject-matter experts, and diverse agency partners to gather broad perspectives and ensure the new brand was developed with inclusivity in mind."
Despite the move being indicative of a broader move towards racial inclusivity, many still took issue with the name change. "The problem for me with Aunt Jemima changing to Pearl Milling Company is that the branding is so ingrained that even with the new name and logo, I still see the old logo and name," commented one Twitter user.
Others were more direct in their criticism, saying that the company should have simply used Nancy Green's actual name and shared more profits with her descendants.

NEW YORK — Former Portuguese Prime Minister António Guterres retained his hold on the top spot in the race to be the next U.N. secretary-general as Slovak Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajčák made a surprise comeback, jumping from near the bottom of the pack to second.
The 15 members of the U.N. Security Council vote in rounds of so-called straw polls to "encourage," "discourage," or express "no opinion" about candidates until a consensus is reached. While Guterres has led throughout the polls, it's unclear whether any of the five permanent members of the veto-wielding members of the Security Council will oppose his candidacy and derail his chances of succeeding Ban Ki-moon. That chance leaves the door ajar for other candidates like Lajčák, who hails from Eastern Europe, where many countries, including veto-power Russia, argue the next secretary-general should hail from.
In Monday's third round of voting, Guterres, who previously served as United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, received 11 encourages, three discourages and one no opinion, according to two sources. Earlier this month in the second poll, he had the same amount of yes votes, but only two discourages. Guterres also won the first straw poll in July with 12 encourages.
Only former Montenegrin politician Igor Lukšić has withdrawn since the last poll on August 5. As a result, the field continues to be scrambled.
Lajčák, in a reversal of fortunes, managed to secure nine encourages, five discourages and one no opinion in the third straw poll, up from just two encourages, six discourages and seven no opinions in the second.
At this point in the race, the Security Council's five permanent members — the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China — cannot use their vetoes.
Diplomats believe a final decision will be made in October and had hoped that poorly performing candidates would begin to drop out by now. That hasn't happened — only former Montenegrin politician Igor Lukšić has withdrawn since the last poll on August 5. As a result, the field continues to be scrambled.
Former Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić and UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova, said to be Russia's preferred candidate, tied for third place in the poll, with seven encourages, five discourages and three no opinions, according to the same two sources.
Bokova has improved her chances since the last straw poll, when she picked up seven encourages, seven discourages and one no opinion, but with so many votes cast against her, Bokova's chances of emerging as a consensus candidate are slim.
Also unlikely is Argentinean Foreign Minister Susana Malcorra, considered the favored candidate of the United States, according to many diplomats and close watchers of the U.N. election process. Malcorra finished behind Bokova and Jeremic, earning seven encourages and discourages, and one no opinion. In the last straw poll, Malcorra finished third, with eight encourages, six discourages and one no opinion. Similarly, Jeremic's 'yes' votes dropped in this round of polling. Last time around, he had eight encourages, four discourages and three no opinions.
Also in the middle of the pack, former Macedonian Foreign Minister Srgjan Kerim and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark. They were followed by Slovenia's former President Danilo Türk, former Moldovan Foreign Minister Natalia Gherman and former U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres, who rounded out the bottom of the list.

The Kyiv regional office of Ukraine's Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) has launched a probe into whether prices of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for the coronavirus are competitive.
The probe was initiated by member of Kyiv City Council Oleksandr Brodsky, AMCU chief Oleksiy Khmelnitskyy said on Facebook on August 18. "The information provided in the motion may indicate there are signs of violations of competition laws, namely, anticompetitive concerted actions or abuse of monopoly position in actions of medical laboratories in Kyiv, suppliers and/or manufacturers of PCR tests," he wrote. According to Khmelnitskyy, the official price of a COVID-19 test is high.

Post-COVID challenges for school teachers in India
The schools are the nurseries for the personality development of all our citizens. However, in the post-COVID phase, there are challenges galore for the school teachers. This article is an attempt at discussing a few of these challenges in some detail.
IntroductionGiven the fact that the schools can be reasonably expected to open only in the first week of August 2020, in most States of India, the teachers in each of these schools will face multiple challenges. Be it a CBSE school or a State Board school or any other Board, the challenges will be more or less the same. The magnitude of the challenges may be slightly different. However, it is also the task of the Managements of the schools to assist the teachers to get things in order and resume their normal lives. This process will take at least two full years.
In the main, the challenges are a) Enabling the slow learners to do the catching up b) Counseling students for deviant behavior c) Making innovations in teaching d) Removing anxieties of the Std X and XII students and parents and e) Enabling career counseling services on a much larger scale.
Enabling the slow learners to do the catching upIn a few States, there are reports of some online classes being conducted for the Government school children. However, there are problems aplenty here too. For one, the internet connections are nowhere near perfect in most of the places, particularly the semi-urban and the rural areas. The students are themselves at different levels of intelligence. There are students from farmer families. The children in standard nine or above may be first-generation learners and may not even have internet facilities at home.
In Tamil Nadu, the demand is to teach online through the television. This feasibility is being studied. Even in areas where the online classes have been conducted, there are reports that the students are not able to follow the lessons as effectively as what they would have done in face-to-face interaction in a classroom situation. This might or would possibly be the same problem throughout India and the teachers in all schools, including the CBSE schools, might have to conduct special sessions or handhold the slow learners to enable them to catch up with the others.
This is a challenging task and the management of any school should facilitate this process and not harsh with either the students or the teacher. However, even within a particular type of school, such as the CBSE schools, in say Tamil Nadu, the experiences of teachers across schools can be a feasible solution. The best schools in Chennai, such as Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan Senior Secondary and the SBOA Matriculation Higher Secondary School can act as mentors. Deeper South, the likes of RS Krishnan Higher Secondary Schoolt at Tiruchirapalli can play a big role. It is just that these schools are rated among the best. The CBSE and the Tami Nadu should consider organizing weekend sharing sessions between teachers in this regard. Though each teacher's experience and context will be different, the common template in terms of learning is likely to emerge for such experiences.
Counseling students for deviant behaviorThere have been disturbing reports of love affairs happening in schools right from the VIIth standard. This is the fallout of whatever the students get to see in movies and in the television serials. The media influence and the negative influence of social media are two important issues that cannot be wished away. Every parent or teacher has to learn to live with such influences.
It is also common to see children being distracted in other ways. Due to social pressures, the theatres might become operational once again. Students will throw caution to the winds and interact with friends in ways that might actually spread the infection. The teachers have a big task on hands. Student and faculty counselors from the social work department of colleges that offer the MSW degree course in Tamil Nadu, and throughout India do offer free counseling services. The students who do the Medical and Psychiatric Work as a specialization, have counseling as a major specialization and will be willing to render their services for free. For example, the Loyola College and the Madras Christian College at Chennai and so does Madurai Institute of Social Sciences at Madurai. In Indore, the Indore School of Social Work offers such services. In fact, these colleges will be able to guide schools as to the availability of such counselors in different parts of the country.
Making innovations in teachingThough innovations are normal at any point in time, the need for that is now more pronounced than ever before. Group discussions and role-plays can form a far better method of teaching in social science classes. In the science classes, the students can be asked to make use of the internet and in areas where the internet connection is not good, the students should be encouraged to move to the nearest towns ( provided they are in the safe zones as of now) and do some homework through the internet centers. Such facilities come at a very nominal cost and the students will be supportive of any such initiative. This is all the more so since the extended period of compulsory holidays will make school students very lazy. There are rather disturbing reports of students being wedded to YouTube videos for hours at a stretch. This is a pan India problem. Teachers now need to be more innovative in whatever ways they deem fit. The involvement of the parents to bring about the innovations is also key to the learning process.
Removing anxieties of the Std X and XII students and parentsIf the teacher tries to open up a discussion with any parent on the alternate courses available for any bright student, he or she will face the toughest trouble. A good friend of mine, whose husband is also a good teacher, had to apologize to the parent a couple of years ago, for even suggesting that the student could even aim to get admission to a course like B.Tech ( Bioinformatics) in a casual conversation. The parent pounced on the teacher questioning her understanding of the capabilities of the student, then in standard X. The parents were so much sold on the idea that their daughter would only do the MBBS course and that she would clear the NNET examination with flying colors. The issue became a serious one and the principal had to intervene.
Such instances are not rare. Such parents who have mindsets that are fixed would need special attention now. The scenario in 2021 could be even tougher in the NEET examination. The teacher and the school environment should be in a position to offer the best possible counseling to enable the student and the parent to chase such dreams together. The anxieties of parents are likely to be even more pronounced than the students and the senior teachers have a special role to play in this process of removing such anxieties. The competition for the IIT-JEE entrance examination will become tougher as well.
Enabling career counseling services on a much larger scaleOpening up minds on a much larger scale is now more important. When people start understanding the new realities, the buy-in becomes far better. The need for career counseling is now more important than ever before.
it is encouraging to note that the local press in so many areas is active and does promote career fairs in the big cities. This has happened in Tamil Nadu. It is quite likely that such efforts have happened up in other cities as well. The students need to be told about all the particular courses.
Careers in different fields need to be told to the students. For example, today there are courses in capital markets at the post-graduate level. There are courses in investment management and portfolio management. There are courses in psychometric counseling. There are courses in interior design and digital marketing. And even sound engineering. Each of these courses has a good job-orientation and can be taken up by those who are interested.
ConclusionBased on some real-world observations and learning from experiences of teachers in present times and the likely scenarios in the near future, some of the challenges for school teachers, in the post-COVID phase has been discussed in some detail in the aforesaid paragraphs. However, there are chances that the scenarios may also change for the better if the virus is better controlled in the months to come.

|Beginner Question: Why 2" Color Filters So Hard To Find?
Forum List | Follow Ups | Post Message | Back to Thread Topics
Posted by Michael P. Smith/">Michael P. Smith on September 8, 1999 04:44:17 UTC
I am fairly new to astronomy so please forgive me for asking this silly question. My general interest is in deep-sky observing, however I am some what interested in planetary/lunar observing. That being the case, I have primarily invested in 2" eyepieces. I now find myself in an awkward position. I have a good selection of 2" eyepieces and barlows, but I cannot find 2" color/lunar filters. That forces me to spend more money getting 1.25" eyepieces just so that I can get the color/lunar filters I can use.
In my ignorance, I thought that 2" filters would simply be a little more expensive than 1.25" filters. I had no idea that they would be so difficult to find. The ONLY 2" filters I have been able to find are 4 color filters from Orion. Not exactly a wide selection.
So it begs the questions. Why are 2" color/lunar filters nearly impossible to find? Is there some obscure reason why 2" eyepieces are bad for planetary or lunar observation.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT close relatives of glaucoma sufferers are up to four times more likely to develop the sight-threatening condition than those without a family history of the disease.
Now in recognition of National Glaucoma Awareness Week, Specsavers in Elgin is encouraging all locals who know of glaucoma in their family to book in for an eye examination at an opticians.
Optometrists can detect signs of glaucoma, one of the leading causes of preventable sight loss in the UK, by carrying out three simple tests – observing the main nerve in the eye, measuring the pressure in the eye (puff test) and checking peripheral vision.
These checks are included a part of the comprehensive standard eye examination for patients as appropriate. Everybody in Scotland is entitled to free eye tests through NHS Scotland.
Peter Taylor, store director at Specsavers in Elgin, explained: "An estimated 600,000 people in the UK have glaucoma, but at least half haven't been diagnosed. Many are unaware that glaucoma can be hereditary and signs go unnoticed, especially in the early stages when there are often no symptoms.
"Early detection means the condition can be monitored and future damage to vision minimised, which is why we're asking everyone in Elgin to make sure they have their eyes tested, especially if their siblings or parents have glaucoma."
National Glaucoma Week 2016 sees the International Glaucoma Association launch the Family Foresight campaign, supported by Specsavers, which aims to raise awareness of family history linked with glaucoma.
Russell Young, CEO of the International Glaucoma Association says: "We're pleased to be working with Specsavers to highlight the importance of regular eye health checks. As glaucoma is not well understood, many people could be irretrievably losing their vision without realising it. Early detection, diagnosis and treatment can help to save vision."

Trip insurance is important documents. Touch Kailash Travels and tours do not need your insurance policy for permit and visa confirmation. it is only for your secure and immergency. make sure your insurance cover travelling up to 5600 miter altitude and cover Emmergency rescue and Medical bills.
Oxygen level is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered over the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. Some of symptoms indicate that the body mechanism is readjusting to new environments. The best idea is deliberately slow down all the activities and follows the following rules:
You are advised to own a small waist pouch or document bag to manage the following documents properly;
Note: Touch Kailash Travel provide you big bag and small day carry bag for Yatra
Note: Down Jackets and Sleeping bags will be provided on returnable basis at Kathmandu for the Yatra

This is a great product.
I used to wear gloves to prevent callouses. Instead of getting callouses on my hand, I would get them on my fingers. Exercises that require you to hold dumbbells, and exercises like deadlifts can tear up your fingers. Fortunately, I found this product through Amazon (where I purchase a lot of great products). These Grip Power Pads wrap around the entire bar, preventing any type of friction between your hand and the bar. Bottom-line is, they work great. Only problem I have with these grip pads is they have a strange smell that stay on your hands for a while after using them. Otherwise, it serves its purpose. Definitely toss the gloves and start using these grip power pads

So if you know me or have been an Insider for awhile, you know that I love Target. I go to different Target's in my city and when I travel I make it a goal to hit as many as I can where I am. Yes, it's that bad, I mean good haha.
I made my weekly stop as I ALWAYS and this time around was all about pajamas. Pajama sets are my thing and I picked up a few sets.
Stars Above – Soft Crop Notch Collar
Stars Above: Cozy Robe (Gray – M/L)
I purchased this set last year but I did see a similar in Target this past Friday. I don't know why Target doesn't have it online but it's definitely in stores.
Stars Above: Animal Print Pants (Oatmeal – Large)
Stars Above: Animal Print Short Sleeve (Oatmeal – Large)
The pants came with a long sleeve top and the short sleeve button up came with shorts. So I decided to do a mix and match with this set.
Oh, I almost forgot. My super comfortable slippers are from Amazon. They come in 9 different colors and looking now thinking I may get the brown next.
Is there anyone else who appreciates cute pajama sets?
Where do you purchase your pajamas?
Congratulations to Casey, she is the winner of last week giveaway!!!

If life begins at conception, so does motherhood.
I remember reading a post in which a woman introduced her family. She shared, "I have four children, which includes an angel-baby." My heart melted. Her angel-baby wasn't pictured in the family photograph near her other three kids, but spiritually, the baby was there! The child who she couldn't kiss good night or teach new things, is still–and always will be–her baby!
On Mother's Day, which is today, many people post beautiful pictures of the lovely women who love and inspire them. And, mothers also share pictures of the children they adore and care for. If you can no longer hold a baby who would have called (or did call) you "Mommy," this message is for you: Acknowledge motherhood in your own way! If you have a partner or spouse, express what this day means to you. You weren't "almost" a mother. There's no, "I WAS a mother." The love you felt while a baby lived inside of you, is everlasting.
Celebrating a day, without hearing the greeting "Happy Mother's Day," may be difficult. And, it may not be that "happy," either.
My own mother has three angel-babies. Yesterday, was one of my brother's birthday–he died unexpectedly, three years ago. I've been deep inside of my feelings for the past couple of days, but I knew that I had to write this for Mother's Day…for my own mother, and for all mothers with angel-babies! I have friends and family, who without question, have thought about their children who can no longer be held in their arms. Everyone differs when it comes to grief, how they grieve, and for the length of time that they mourn. Unfortunately, I can't give you any remedies for making the load of loss easier to carry. But, I would like to offer some ways to still be with your loved ones, spiritually.
M: Make memories or create ways to acknowledge your relationship–if you can emotionally handle being in the moment of remembrance.
O: Order flowers, chocolate covered strawberries, or takeout dinner on
Mother's Day…intentionally confirming ALL that you are–including A MOTHER!
T: Talk to yourself. Self-talk and/or journaling are ways to cope with heartache–cope, not cure. There shouldn't be any pressure from others or yourself to "move on." During certain holidays, birthdays, or other days of significance, take a walk and talk (silently to yourself) about your emotions surrounding the loss. Fresh air can be very therapeutic, while processing everything you've experienced.
H: Healing rituals will not erase the hurt, but you may find it comforting to start doing something special for your baby on designated days, such as Mother's Day. Whether you light a candle, read religious texts, listen to Miles Davis while lying down, or create a painting, the act of being present with your thoughts can be comforting.
E: Eliminate negative energy that you CAN control! Talking to people who don't lift your spirits or scrolling through social media posts may not be ideal, if the pain becomes overwhelming. If you can mourn while still viewing all of the "Happy Mother's Day" messages, please do so while also remembering that YOU are still a mother, too! With every tear shed, I believe that your little-one APPRECIATES the love and acknowledgment that you continue to feel for him/her.
R: Reflect, relax, and report. Like the moral of the story in the animated movie "CoCo" suggests, remembering your loves ones keep them present. Relax and be gentle with yourself, as well as with the other people who love you. Yes, you have a right to hurt and to even be angry…however, your other family members also have a right for you to report these feelings. Take some space. Grieve. Express your needs.
As women connected to the military, you possibly experienced the "passing on" of your child without family or close friends, nearby. Regardless of having emotional support from others or feeling utterly alone, the intent of this message is to tell you that you are remembered! You are not forgotten, today. I'm sending each of you thoughts of comfort on Mother's Day, a day that is especially special for YOU.
