David Enblom is an artist living in Lowertown St. Paul who was recently the subject of a retrospective show at the 262 Building that closed last weekend. It's a highlight reel of several bodies of work from the past 40 years, unified mostly by Enblom's keen eye for detail, and even keener sense of wit. There's a lot of great work in the show – a particular favorite is documentation of a correspondence between him, the sculptor George Segal and the Walker Art Center regarding the placement of napkins in one of Segal's works on display at the museum.
But the centerpiece of Enblom's show was a series of hundreds of photographs of barns, all shot on digital camera within about 40 miles of the Twin Cities between 2002 and 2003. Not a few dozen images: hundreds and hundreds of barn, after barn, after barn, culled from a collection of nearly 1,500. All of them are shot in a highly uniform and consistent fashion – three-quarter angle, overcast sky, no trees, no snow. (You can see them on David's website here.)
Assembled together on a wall or in a book, it's less like looking at a gift shop calendar with a name like "Rustic Treasures of Rural Minnesota," and more like examining a photographic family tree, or catalog of some natural phenomenon, like species of insects or flora.
A fertile stretch
Enblom began photographing barns after visiting a friend in Iowa and driving down Highway 52 through the southeastern part of the state. Maybe it's just because of the presence of so much fascinating vernacular architecture – besides the family farms, there's the House of Coates bar and the Pine Bend Refinery – but Highway 52 has proven to be an unusually fertile stretch of road for Minnesota artists. It's also the subject of a recent artistic collaboration called "House of Coates," created by writer Brad Zellar and Alec Soth associate Lester B. Morrison.
Enblom also took note of this same landscape, and found himself gravitated to the barns along the way. "Look at that cool barn," he'd think to himself, multiple times a trip.
Barns, with their silos and gambrel roofs, are the most notable facet of the human-made physical landscape in most of rural Minnesota, especially in the farming country south of the Cities. They're pretty uniform at first glance, but once you look closely at each one, you notice there's an infinite amount of variation in color, size, weathering, detailing, shape, and function. Enblom, who drove delivery trucks for several years, found himself spending more and more time looking at barns while on southbound trips, until he figured he might as well start making trips just to go look at barns.
It was just a short step to photographing them. He began doing so, initially with a telephoto lens from the road, but then – upon the advice of a state trooper who prefaced his remarks with the immortal disclaimer "I'm not a lawyer, but…" – by knocking on the farm door and asking for permission to roam the property and shoot a photo of the barn.
Not a picture, but a concept
A quick detour to the Ruhr Valley of West Germany in the late 1950s for a moment. Wherever the topic of artists documenting the physical landscape as a way of organizing, highlighting, and preserving it arises, the names of Bernd and Hilla Becher must be invoked. The Bechers were a German couple who photographed industrial buildings – most famously water towers, but also refineries, silos, grain elevators, cooling towers, and other similar structures – in a very systematic, detached, straightforward fashion. Beginning in the late 1950s, their work continued until Bernd's death a few years ago.
The Bechers would organize black-and-white silver gelatin prints of these images into grids, which would emphasize or deemphasize similarities in what they described as anonyme skulpturen, or anonymous sculptures. Most important to capturing a uniformity to these architectural typologies, the Bechers had three conditions: they'd always shoot the buildings on overcast days, with no snow on the ground, and with no leaves on the trees.
Enblom, like many artists with an interest in the physical environment (and I include myself here), is a longtime admirers of the Bechers' work. When he began shooting the barns in 2002, he thought to himself, "Why don't I just use their criteria?"
He did, and all of these photos are shot on an overcast day in spring or fall, with no leaves on the trees and no snow on the ground. Enblom describes the work resulting from the Becherite philosophy as being "not a picture, but a concept." The artwork is not necessarily in the individual photos, but in the images assembled together, in grids and groupings, putting them into that tightly organized cataloged framework.
Less than a day's drive
In addition to the Bechers' criteria, there's another similar, unspoken set of criteria applied to Enblom's images. Since he needed to shoot his work on a day guaranteed to be cloudy – not to mention that he also needed to get home in time to feed his dogs – he would only embark on barn-finding expeditions less than a day's drive from the Twin Cities.
If he'd made overnight trips and stayed in hotels, he might waste an entire day by waking up in the morning, finding the sun shining, and consequently unable to shoot. All of these barns, then, are less than 40 miles out, existing in the perimeter between the edge of suburbia and a day's drive to and from the urban core.
This seems to me to be one the more interesting aspects of the project, the fact that this enormous, almost unending catalog of rural vernacular architecture exists in such abundance so close to the city.
The family farms that are hanging on just outside the limits of the sprawl are a reminder of the economic roots of the state and of the cities themselves. Despite the abundance of barns and small family farms, Enblom says, "they really are a vanishing thing. There was a huge boom in farming, and now to see it from this vantage point – there's a melancholy aspect."
A touching irony
As noted, the Bechers called their images "anonymous sculptures." They resemble aesthetic objects when grouped together, putting the physical details side-by-side and closely examining the minor variations in form, intent, and decoration. Removing any capital-A "Artistic" intent in the documentation emphasizes the individuality of the structure and its anonymous creator.
There's a touching irony to this detached approached, of course. "It's dry documentation," Enblom says. "But it's also human subject matter. I was trying to be scientific, detached, eliminate any artiness. But people will get so emotional. They'll come up to me with tears in their eyes when they see them and tell me about the farms they'd grown up on. I wasn't going for that level of engagement, but it's very human subject matter."

Residential photovoltaic (PV) technology is expected to have mass global deployment. With widespread PV in the electricity distribution grids, the variable nature of the solar resource must be understood to facilitate reliable operation. This research demonstrates that synthetic, 1-min resolution irradiance time series that vary on a spatial dimension can be generated based on the following inputs: mean hourly meteorological observations of okta, wind speed, cloud height and atmospheric pressure. The synthetic time series temporally validate against observed 1-min irradiance data for four locations—Cambourne, UK; Lerwick, UK; San Diego, CA USA; and Oahu, HI USA—when analysing 4 metrics of variability indices, ramp-rate size, irradiance magnitude frequency and clear-sky index frequency. Each metric is calculated for the modelled and observed data at each location and CDF profile correlation compared as well as applying the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K–S) test with 99% confidence limits. CDF correlation coefficients of each metric are all above R⩾0.908, and a minimum of 90.96% of daily irradiance time series passed the K–S test. A spatial validation was performed comparing the model outputs to real observation data. The spatial correlation coefficient regression with site separation was successfully recreated with MAPE = 0.865%, RMSE = 0.01 and R=0.955. The spatial instantaneous correlation was shown to behave anisotropically when using fixed cloud direction, with different correlation in along and cross wind directions. Cloud cover states of 40–60% showed the most spatial decorrelation while 0% and 100% had the least. The model outputs are applied to a distribution grid impact model using the IEEE-8500 node test feeder. PV scenarios of 25%,50%, and 75% uptake were modelled across a 1.5×1.5 km grid. The magnitude and frequency of severe tap changing events are found to be significantly higher when using a single irradiance time series for all PV systems versus individually assigning spatially decorrelating time series.

5 looks we're going to own this weekend: Matte red lips, nude nails and more
Sometimes it's fun to shake up your look on the weekend. So this week we're looking at an inverted braid style, a pretty nude nail, an easy DIY beaded headband, matte dark red lips, and negative space nails with added bling.
Topsy-turvey braid bun
If you're looking for a slightly different style, why not invert the basic Dutch braid? This look starts the braid at the base of the neck. Make sure to use large chunks of hair for the strands in the braid, as this look is all about a large, noticeable braid. Then at the top of the head, secure the remaining hair in a voluminous bun. It's a fun twist for casual gatherings over the weekend.
Clean nude nails with statement ring
Looking for something clean and classy? Try a basic nude nail. A high-sheen pink fleshy color is what you're going for as a base. Add a gel topcoat for added shine. This look is all about catching the light. To add some pizazz, a large statement ring balances out the more basic look of the nails.
DIY bead headband
This actually converts a necklace right into a headband, and it can be turned into a necklace again. It's a great way to get some mileage out of your accessories. You'll need a shorter necklace that consists of straight beads on a string. Then you'll use pliers to add a small metal jewelry ring to both the clasp and hook of the necklace. Loop a basic stretchy hair tie into the metal rings, and then close the rings with the pliers. Then wear as you would a normal headband. Reverse the steps to use as a necklace again.
Matte dark red lips
A basic matte dark red lip style is wonderful any time of the year. Try a matte lip stain for lasting color, or there are tons of great matte dark red lipstick shades, too. It looks great for both casual gatherings and fancy events. To make sure the darker color has precise lines and doesn't feather, remember to apply a lip liner in a similar shade.
Negative space nails with rhinestones
Negative space—or bare—nails are all the rage. A basic clear gel coat on half of your nails will get your negative space nails looking clean and shimmery. Then add some rhinestones at the bottom of those nails as a fun accent. They should lead up the side of the nail, tapering off as they go along. Some shimmery accent nails that match the color of the rhinestones complete this look.

The GUHAH Way is a lifestyle philosophy whose focus is ensuring that children grow up healthy and happy by teaching them about the benefits of eating organic foods. GUHAH stands for Growing Up Healthy And Happy.
I've been blessed with good health, good fortune, and a good mind. Over the course of my life, I've endured poverty and hardship and I've also reached the highest heights. I was able to turn my one-man tool shop into one of the world's largest and most successful automotive parts suppliers, Magna International Inc., a company with over 150,000 employees worldwide and over $40 billion in annual sales.
In my early 70s – what I regard as the height of my career – I began to count my blessings and think about the priorities in life. When we are young and starting, we work hard to make enough money so that we can provide for our families and live in dignity when we eventually retire. And in the process of trying to make a living, we sometimes lose focus on the real priorities in life.
Health – the number one priority in life
I'm a great believer that the number one priority in life – the one that stands above all others – is to stay healthy. When we become sick and weakened by illness, most of us would give everything we own for a chance to be healthy again.
Healthy Diet of Organic Foods
We hope the millions of people everywhere will embrace the philosophy to join our organization by becoming a member and participating in our efforts to spread the message of a healthy lifestyle built around a diet of organic, all-natural foods.
If you feel the way we do, get involved and together we'll find ways where we can bring about positive change. There are so many things we can do to help our children grow up healthy and happy!

No, not in most countries in the EU and UK. But the license the casino uses can have its own restrictions in offering online gambling to certain countries. So, if you experience an IP block when visiting the website, it's probably because you are in a country that the casino can not offer their services too.
Online casinos follow strict rules regarding privacy and age restriction on gambling. To be sure that you are the one you are saying and that you are of authority, they need to collect the necessary data according to their license. If such schemes were not in place, it would be very easy for scammers to create an account in your name, or for people under the age of age to pass through the check.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (CNS) — The Arkansas Senate March 11 passed a bill to ban abortion after the 18th week of pregnancy.
The measure, approved in a 28-6 vote, does include exceptions in medical emergencies to save the life of the mother and in cases of rape or incest.
The original Senate bill had only the exception for medical emergencies, but Republican Sen. Jason Rapert, a co-sponsor of the measure, offered an amendment on rape and incest March 7, and the Senate voted for it.
News reports said the measure did not receive much discussion on the floor before the vote, but Rapert told his fellow senators it "actually has been well discussed" in the days leading up to the full vote. "It's pretty simple in that we already have existing law that prohibits abortion at 20 weeks. This moves that to 18 weeks," he said.
If the House passes the amended bill, it will go to Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson's desk. He has indicated through a spokesman that he will sign it.
After the Senate vote, Rapert said it was "a significant bill because it does push the envelope further in the protection of unborn children."
A lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas told The Associated Press before the Senate vote that the organization stood ready to challenge it in court. Lawyer Bettina Brownstein said the bill was "ultimately about driving legal abortion from the state and making women once again … subject themselves to unsafe and dangerous efforts to end their pregnancy."
In February, Hutchinson signed a measure passed by both houses that would ban abortion in Arkansas should the U.S. Supreme Court overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
Similar so-called "trigger" measures also have been passed in Louisiana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Mississippi and have been introduced in Kentucky and Tennessee.

"A.L." who frequently posts on sci.op-research notes
To improve service for Xpress-MP users even further, Fair Isaac closed
Dash office in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. This is what recorded message
says when office number is called. Guys from this office are still available and working from their
basements. The question is for how long.
I sent an email to Alkis Vazacopoulos who pointed out there is a FairIsaac NY office right
across the Hudson (11.5 miles away) in Manhattan where people are working. Alkis continues to be extremely upbeat about how Dash is doing within FairIsaac. I really don't think this rather minor office move is worth getting worked up over! After spending $32 million on Dash (admittedly a small amount of money to FairIsaac, representing 4 or 5 months of corporate earnings), I don't think they are going to mess things up in the first six months.

Just when everyone thought it couldn't get easier than G Pen Connect they proved us wrong with the introduction of the brand new G Pen Roam. G Pen Roam is for the people on-the-go or the people who just want to relax without the worry of the complicity provided by all the other vaporizers. If you are on the market for a promising device and vaporizer that screams top quality and style, then G Pen Roam is the way to go for you.
When you first buy this product the company doesn't just give you a device. It gives you a whole G Pen experience with the kit they provide. The G Pen Roam comes with a travel case and it comes with everything you need to start dabbing. The travel case has a quality finish with a G logo in the middle. It is a zip-open bag with premium-grade zippers. After you first open the bag you'll see your G Pen Roam in a fixed station, it has two circular spaces made inside to stash your concentrates. You'll also find some q tips for the cleaning purpose, which is a really nice touch.
One of the G Pen Roams unique features is its self-contained water filtration system. Before the Roam came to the market with a bang, if you wanted a vaporizer with good water filtration, you had extra e-nails. Some of them have the water tube at the top, where some have them on the bottom part. None of them had a self-contained hydro tube built inside of the vaporizer itself. This made G Pen Roam, the go-to vaporizer if you want portability and water filtration at the same time.
Even though all the other ones have a rechargeable battery, none of them is as portable or discreet enough to be able to be used outside of your house. The hydro tube is housed inside the body of the vaporizer. So when your device is being used, the A-grade filtration system is discrete and not visible at all. The hydro tube attachment gets connected to the removable mouthpiece that sticks out of your Roam. You can use tap water and fill up to the line drawn in the water tube and it will be ready to use. All the instructions are user-friendly.
The designers at G Pen now have designed a vaporizer that is a step up to all the others out there. Not only the design is remarkable, but the user interface is also easy to use. The G Pen Roam has only three buttons. Two of them are for decreasing and increasing the desired temperature and the big one is for power. It also has an LCD mounted below the buttons. The display shows the temperature level, the power status, and other useful settings, like icons to let the user know heating up or when it is ready to be used. The interface of this Latest G Pen device is very easy to interact with.
Temperature Specification
If you are thinking about buying a good vaporizer, then the G Pen Roam will be a worthy investment and one of the main reasons for that is having the ability to easily control the device. The Roam comes with diverse temperature specifications. After you made sure your Roam is fully changed and the water filter is filled up to its mark, you can turn your vaporizer on by simply tapping the power button 5 times. The temperature ranges from a minimum of 600 degrees Fahrenheit to a maximum of 800 degrees Fahrenheit. You can change your current target temperature in 25 degrees increments by pressing the temperature button once. There is a secret maximum temperature that delivers all the power it has to heat up the concentration. You can achieve that by clicking the increase button once, right after you reach 800 degrees. This temperature can be used to burn off leftover residues of concentration from the chamber.
Dual Heat Mode
Unlike many other vaporizers on the market, the G Pen Roam is unique in its operation. The dual heat mode is just a big example of that. The G Pen Roam can be run in two different modes.
Automatic Mode
You can press the power button twice to activate this Auto heat mode. The Roam will heat up to the desired temperature and vibrate to signal when it is ready to be vaped. The vaporizer will stay hot for 30 seconds and will vibrate again to signal that the heat is deactivated. You can also heat the power button twice to deactivate that heat anytime you want before 30 seconds.
Manual Mode
Click and hold the power button to manually heat the Roam. The vaporizer will stay on this heat and vape continuously as long as you are holding the power button. Whenever you want the heating to get deactivated, just let go of the button.
This dual heating mode is a game-changer. Most of the time a buyer has to find the perfect vaporizer for their choice of mode. Sometimes they change their mind and there is usually nothing they can do, other than buying a vape with a different model altogether. G Pen Roam provides both of the modes in one piece, which provides the user with much more flexibility.
Unmatched Vapor Quality
It will only take a few minutes of you to use the Roam before you fall completely in love with this product. The water filtration system inside produces a very tasty and flavorful vapor. The temperature is so amazingly calibrated that all kinds of users will be able to obtain just enough and perfect punch and flavor from the hit. The vapor is rich and flavor dense at the same time.
Top-Notch Build
In most products, they usually sacrifice one of their features to work on the other. Having numerous best selling vaporizers under their belt, G Pen didn't sacrifice anything at all when it comes to their G Pen Roam. This vaporizer is so smooth and high tech yet is strong like a truck. Almost all the attachments are magnet-based.
The outer surface of the Roam has a matte-like finish, so it is almost certain that the vape will never accidentally fall out of your grip. The hydro tube for the water filtration system is made from high quality thick yet light glass. That will not crack under heat or pressure and the best thing about it is being spill-proof. That means no more worrying about having it in your pocket and constantly looking out for wet pants. Ladies, you can carry it with your purse and never have a concern about it at all.
Quartz Tank
The Roam is built with highly durable quartz in the heating tank. It withstands very high temperature and helps out the flavor of your concentration much more profoundly. On the lower side of the temperature spectrum, you will be able to taste the full flavor of your loved concentrate. On the higher side, this quartz tank will produce much more vapor for the vapor lovers. The quartz tank is a very good heat conductor, so it is easy to heat up and cool down the tank, in a matter of seconds. This feature protects your concentrates from being wasted. With a 1300mAH Lithium-Ion battery this vape runs like a superman and charges from zero to a hundred in only 90 minutes.

Demonstrators dressed as "Unite the Right" rally-goers with tiki torches stand on a sidewalk as Republican candidate for governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin arrives on his bus for a campaign event in Charlottesville, Va., October 29, 2021. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters)
The Lincoln Project claimed credit for organizing a white supremacist stunt in front of Glenn Youngkin's campaign bus on Friday, but not before several staffers from the opposing campaign used the incident to bash the Republican candidate for Virginia governor.
The anti-Trump and anti-Republican organization said it sent the tiki torch–wielding group to remind Virginia voters of the white-nationalist march that took place in Charlottesville in 2017 and "the Republican party's embrace of those values, and Glenn Youngkin's failure to condemn it."
Despite many conservatives' immediately questioning the validity of the demonstration, several McAuliffe staffers boosted news of the incident as if it were real, including aide Jen Goodman, who called it "disgusting and disqualifying" for Youngkin.
McAuliffe spokeswoman Christina Freundlich used it as an opportunity to say "this is who Glenn Youngkin's supporters are."

MSNBC contributor Glenn Kirschner condemned the "blatant display of racism, hatred and intolerance," urging Virginians to vote for McAuliffe, who represents a "kind, welcoming, diverse Virginia."
30-year fed prosecutor and MSNBC contributor @glennkirschner2 didn't even raise an eyebrow when five random young people including a Black guy turn up with CHARLOTTESVILLE style tiki torches at Youngkin's bus.

Democratic strategist Max Burns claimed Youngkin's campaign "counts white supremacists among its most enthusiastic supporters."
Glenn Youngkin may pretend to be reasonable, but there's nothing reasonable about a campaign that counts white supremacists among its most enthusiastic supporters. https://t.co/rmBpY2UtzC

After the Lincoln Project came forward, Burns said, "Cosplaying as white supremacists is disgraceful, and I can't imagine a single way this helps Terry McAuliffe or amplifies his positive vision for Virginia."
McAuliffe's campaign similarly issued a statement condemning the stunt after the Lincoln Project admitted to orchestrating it.
"What happened today is disgusting and distasteful and we condemn it in the strongest terms. Those involved should immediately apologize," said campaign manager Chris Bolling.

Breakthrough Pain
Breakthrough pain is pain that is over and above the background pain that is being addressed by on-going pain control medications. Breakthrough pain is highly prevalent in cancer patients. In one study it was estimated that approximately one-half to two-thirds of patients with chronic cancer-related pain also experience episodes of breakthrough pain.2 Moreover, the pathophysiology of the breakthrough pain was believed to be somatic in 33% of the patients, visceral in 20%, neuropathic in 27%, and mixed in 20%. Although it is an important component of cancer pain management, breakthrough pain is often overlooked.
Breakthrough pain in the cancer population is usually abrupt, acute, and can be very intense. The characteristics of breakthrough cancer pain vary from person to person, including the duration of the breakthrough episode and possible causes. The most common form is incidental breakthrough pain, which is associated with an activity. Other categories include idiopathic breakthrough pain, which occurs spontaneously, and breakthrough pain known as 'endof- dose failure', which typically occurs at the end of the dosage interval of pain medication used to control the patient's persistent pain.
Management of Breakthrough Pain
Breakthrough pain can sometimes be alleviated by nonpharmacological methods such as repositioning or distraction methods. However, most breakthrough pain is of a moderate-to-severe nature and pharmacological intervention is considered first-line, with nonpharmacological methods used as a supplement.
Many physicians managing pain in cancer patients use a variety of breakthrough pain medications based on personal experience, past experience and the patient's pain scenario.3 The current recommendation is to use a long-acting opioid formulation to treat persistent cancer pain and provide the patient with a fast-acting, short-duration analgesic to take when breakthrough pain occurs.4 Whenever possible, the same opioid that is used in the long-acting form to manage the persistent pain should be prescribed for breakthrough pain. For example, if long-acting morphine is used for the persistent pain, immediate-release morphine should be used for the breakthrough pain. The recommended dose of the breakthrough pain medication is usually 10–15%, and sometimes more, of the total daily dose of the long-acting analgesic the patient is taking.4
The long-acting opioid dose should be increased for patients using a significant amount of medication for breakthrough pain, and the increase should reflect the total breakthrough dose taken in 24 hours. One proposed strategy for this increase is to use 25% of the total dose of immediate-release analgesic when slight reduction of pain is needed, 50% when moderate reduction is needed and 100% when a significant reduction is needed.5
It is important to note that the number of breakthrough doses taken during a 24-hour period is an indication of the efficacy of the initial persistent pain management plan. Similarly, an increase in breakthrough pain can also be useful as a diagnostic tool since it can indicate the presence of new pathology.
If pain does not respond to one analgesic medication, an equianalgesic dose chart should be used when changing the medication or route of administration.4 Furthermore, opioid rotation can be used if pain can no longer be controlled with a specific regimen because of tolerance or intolerable and unmanageable side effects.4
Routes of Administration
The most common route of administration used to manage breakthrough pain is the oral route. It is convenient and allows for flexible dosing. A drawback of the oral route is that it has a slow onset of action (30–45 minutes).4 Given intravenously (IV), opioids have a fast onset of action (five to 10 minutes) and can be rapidly titrated to address severe, escalating pain. A general principle, however, is to use the least invasive route of administration when managing chronic pain, so the oral route should be used whenever possible.4

A general principle, however, is to use the least invasive route of administration when managing chronic pain, so the oral route should be used whenever possible.4 IV PCA, whereby the patient can self-administer analgesic doses as needed, has become a mainstay in the management of moderate-to-severe pain in the hospital setting, particularly for post-operative pain. Effectively, with PCA, patients have more control over their pain management, especially their breakthrough pain. Though oral PCA has been used in the hospital setting, it is hampered by logistical issues.4 The addition of a new oral PCA device to the pain management arena addresses these issues and allow patients, within a hospital setting, to access their own oral medication as needed for managing breakthrough pain.
The new oral PCA device is the first device that allows analgesics to be locked at the bedside. The analgesic prescription is programmed into the device so access is controlled within the prescribed limitations. The patient accesses the medication by swiping a radio frequency identification (RFID) wristband over the RFID reader on the device.
The new device also has a large 0–10 pain intensity scale on its face, and the patient is required to input the current pain rating at the time of the request for medication. The nurse or physician can query the device to obtain and even print the patient's pain rating and dosing history. It is hoped that the new oral PCA device will address an unmet need for the timely administration of oral medication for breakthrough pain within the hospital setting.
It is very important for prescribers and care providers to establish appropriate criteria for which patients are suitable for PCA, including the new oral PCA device. Patients will need to understand basic concepts of pain management, such as staying on top of the pain by taking pain medication before the pain becomes severe, and they must be cognitively and physically able to use the equipment.
The availability of long-acting opioid formulations has provided physicians and nurses with better therapeutic options for the management of chronic cancer pain. However, there is still a need to continuously encourage those who care for patients with chronic pain to assess for the presence of breakthrough pain. Moreover, it is important to inform and prepare the patient that breakthrough pain is a possibility. They must be encouraged to treat their breakthrough pain promptly as a means of improving their overall pain control and, ultimately, their function and quality of life. The new oral PCA device represents an excellent addition to the treatment options for breakthrough pain in these patients.

There really wasn't much to recap in this game. The A's were going for so much: a sixth straight win, and most importantly a winning record before the All-Star break.
They accomplished neither in a 7-1 yawnfest loss to Seattle.
Jarrod Parker, who has been a bright spot this season, picked an inopportune time to have an off night. Parker lasted just 4.2 innings, allowing 5 earned runs. He did strike out six, though.
"We're so used to seeing him go out there, throwing zeros," A's manager Bob Melvin told reporters after the game. "I thought his actual stuff was pretty good. His pitch count got up there rather quickly."
His counterpart on the mound, the largely average Jason Vargas, did not have any of the same problems. Vargas cruised through the A's lineup, going the distance in 107 pitches. He allowed just one run — a Josh Reddick bomb in the first inning — and struck out six Oakland batsmen in the win.
Reddick provided pretty much the only spark, not only with a home run, but with a Byrnesian catch to rob Ichiro of a hit. The home run was his 20th. Am I wrong for hoping that Curtis Granderson simply drops out of the All-Star Game citing a deep-seated fear of barbeque scent, so Reddick can go to Kansas City?
However, after Parker's departure in the fifth, the game got pretty boring. The only excitement of the latter innings happened in the bottom of the 7th when the game was delayed for about 10 minutes as the backstop ad malfunctioned, showing a "Round" and a white background where "Table" should be.
The A's will try to get back to .500 tomorrow. Bartolo Colon vs. Felix Hernandez at 1:05 p.m.

|✅ Wordcount: 1924 words
|✅ Published: 1st Jan 2015
Boyle's "The Tortilla Curtain" is a well woven literary piece that proves to be the best and the most successful of all his novels in history. Looking at his style of writing, he knits together illegal immigration, poverty, social class, racism, the American dream and xenophobia into a highly contrasted society that runs deep into the veins of the 21st Century America. Most publicists and scholars as well as critics have posed Boyle's novel, "The Tortilla Curtain" as 'a timely provocative account' that vividly highlights the immigration events in central California. Following this stance, Boyle had a purpose of writing this book and its success is dependent on the nature of understanding of his writing by the readers. The success of any literary piece is guaranteed if the writer achieves the "unity of thought." This implies that the main reasons why the author wrote the books are communicated to the reader; the same understanding of the book is shared between the author and the reader. This context seeks to analyze symbolism and the major themes that Boyle portrays in "The Tortilla Curtain."

The protagonists in this novel form the key focus in the analysis of the themes and symbolism used. The story entails two families that belong to the low class and the middle class in the society. The poor family consists of illegal Mexican immigrants (Candido and América) and the rich family (Kyra and Delaney) who are a real estate agent and columnist in an environmentalist magazine respectively. The setting of the novel portrays a man eat man society whereby the middle class care less about the low class. The story is woven from the two families that are intertwined from the time when Kyra has an accident which involves Candido, the poor man.
The American Dream encompasses the belief that as long as one enters America and works hard, success is inevitable. This is a mere illusion as Candido and América remains the poorest in spite of their hard work. The middle class family works less yet they have a better life than those who work tirelessly. It is inevitable that everyone aspire good life and this is the reason why immigrants moved into the United States. Each of them had their share in making the American dream come true regardless of the hardships that they have to go through. The dreams of the two couples are varied but they both find nothing but illusions in their dreams at the end. It all matters where they are and what they want to achieve and since none achieves, then the American dream to them is just but an illusion.
The aspect of class and racism will be discussed together in this analysis. The gated community where Kyra and his family live creates a gap between the haves and the have-nots. It does not only tear the middle and low class apart but also portrays racism between the whites and other ethnic minorities such as the Mexicans in the United States. At first Delaney, is a liberalist who believes in equal opportunity. This is evidenced in his quote that, "everyone deserves a chance […] immigrants are the lifeblood of this country" (p.101). However, this is blurred by his concern on the environment over the starving immigrants (the poor) as he quotes,"chewing up resources of the planet like locusts" (82). The contempt and atrocity of racists is shown in Delaney when he hits Candido with his car and pays off a bloody $20 bill (13). Candido decides not to call the police because he knows that he is in the country illegally: On the other hand, Melaney hesitates to call the police because he only hit a Mexican forgetting that he had committed a crime. The$20 bill is an insult and serves as a bribe to blackmail the poor man to remain silent after the ordeal. In support of this, Jack who is an attorney is portrayed as a racist as he supports the stone wall construction and the gate. He fails in his duty to reinforce the law in the knowledge of a crime already committed. The attitude and fear they have on Mexicans is purely on the segregation of the Mexicans as shown in his quote, "You want another crazy Mexican throwing himself under your wheels hoping for an insurance payoff?" (102). This leads to the next theme; xenophobia.
By definition, xenophobia is the feeling of hatred and fear that is experience by the citizens of a country when immigrants' sets foot in their land. Though the immigrants are feared to be criminal, the actual perpetrators are inside the wall that was built. They are afraid of competition from the immigrants. They understand that the immigrants have the potential yet they will not give them equal opportunities as the citizens. Instead they exploit their vulnerability by paying low wages for work so that they can make huge profits. This portrays them as selfish. In addition, they are criminals who are perceived as honourable members of the society. They thus use the power gained to discriminate against the ethnic minorities. Work should be a move to improve the living standards of the employees and therefore people of true spirit care about their employees' welfare.
Immigration as a theme is portrayed as illegal in the timeline of this novel. This can be coupled by the theme of poverty as it comes out best together. Further in this novel, the coyote symbolizes the immigration. The exploitation of labor for the poor as shown by the low wages paid to Candido is one instance of immigration and poverty. Though they knew that they deserved better, they had no option but to work and earn the meagre wages for survival. They couldn't talk about it for the fear of the repercussions from the illegal immigration. Poverty is again witnessed when Socorro, Candido's daughter is born and is suspected to be blind but they cannot face the problems due to poverty. In another instance of poverty, Candido robbing in the city leads to feeding from trash cans to avoid starving. This shows how the society doesn't care for the poor. This is the lowest form of poverty that one can live in; it's far beyond the international poverty line that projects that the poorest homestead spends at least $1 a day. Again, it shows the realities of life in the modern era where civilized is highly upheld. What is civilization when the country is symbolized by "coyotes"? This leads us to the use of symbolism in this novel.
In the analysis of symbolism, coyote is the most prominent and a motif that recurs throughout the novel while at the same times the strongest representation of the immigrants in this analysis. Immigration is portrayed as a monster in America in the case where the Mossbacher's two dogs are feasted by the wild animal. Though a fence is built such as that at the US-Mexican border, they still penetrate (Boyle 39). Delaney's column coyote experiences are brought in this view as he quotes, "One coyote, who makes his living on the fringes of my community […] has learned to simply chew his way through the plastic irrigation pipes whenever he wants to drink."(212): This symbolizes Candido who steals water and other basic requirements for his family just like the coyote does to the dogs. In addition, Delaney quotes that, "The coyote is not to blame-he is only trying to survive, to make a living, to take advantage of the opportunities available to him" (215). This also applies to Candido's way of life: He takes up any opportunity that comes to his way such as the case of the Turkey offer and he doesn't care what the society thinks of him. He is forced to do so for survival and he again resembles the coyote. Think of this: no house and camps in a canyon, digs in garbage in search for food, intrudes on other people's property for survival; is this not exactly the way a coyote lives? Candido, an illegal immigrant, is not welcome in the city just like the hunted coyote. In addition, José Navidad backs on the symbolic coyote; he is portrayed as the bad guy. He rapes women and survives by intruding on other people's property. It is more interesting when Candido feels that his space is intruded by José Navidad as quoted, "Now he had to worry about this stinking crack-toothed pendejo nosing around down in the canyon, as if he did not have enough problems already" (90).
The nature of house where one lived defines the class and the achievement of the American dream. The low class live in simple houses that were self made and others were homeless while the middle class lived in fenced houses. Following this, the wall as a symbol of separation between the two classes was constructed. From a general stance, a wall serves as a physical barrier between two parties. In reference to the case at hand, the wall is used metaphorically to keep the two cultures apart. Though the fences have been put in place and failed to serve the purpose it is inevitable that the illegal immigrants will continue to find their way through the US-Mexican border into America in search of success and the achievement of the American dream.

Those who live inside the wall that is, the middle class and those who live outside the wall, the low class are separated by the wall. The wall also symbolizes the great fear that the Americans had for the Mexicans. The wall is a symbolic device for creating gaps between the haves and the have-nots but this is not the solution to the problems which they perceive to emanate from the Mexicans. As the poor struggles with their lives outside the wall, the haves are also affected as well though they won't admit it. This is demonstrated when Candido roasts the bird pack given to him by a Turkish customer after a promotion thanks giving (an act of kindness from the customer), it causes fire which extends to the gate community of the haves.
In conclusion, Boyle portrays America's life a struggle and survival for the fittest. The smartest in adopting and coping with the changing face of America survives. Symbolism comes out as the main stylistic device that was used by the author to complete this well thought literary piece. Through the use of imagery and excellent choice of diction, he voices out the realities of immigrants without sounding rude and offensive. The themes discussed in this novel fit in the contemporary literature: The modern United States is still fighting illegal immigration, poverty, social class and racism. Its current economy is at threat as more immigrants gets their way in America and floods the job market and exert pressure on the natural resources (Stringer x). The American dream and xenophobia are still eminent given the adverse effects of immigration on the economy, the environment and social amenities. Boyle book exhibits powerful mastery of literary techniques which leaves the reader pondering on the immigrants' situation in the United States more so for those who have future prospects of living and working there. He shows that America is tattered with poverty in the midst of the vast development, hence the economic disparities that are the norm in the global economic arena.

Dolly Rebecca Parton is truly the queen of country music. She has 26 career number one singles and 42 Top-10 country albums. She's one of the most-honored country music stars of all time, and member of numerous halls of fame. Dollywood is one of the most popular attractions in Tennessee. Heck, the first cloned sheep was even named after her.
The cultural influence of this five-foot-tall singer-songwriter (and author, actress and philanthropist) is incalculable. But while her voice is amazing, her songs are unforgettable and her outfits are truly iconic, we think that what makes Dolly Parton -- the unofficial patron saint of the South -- so incredibly special is her heart.
Dolly's humble beginnings in east Tennessee brought love of family, music and faith into her life early on. One of twelve siblings, she attended the church her grandfather pastored and began singing there publicly by age six: at age seven, she picked up a guitar.
Her father, an illiterate farmer and construction worker, inspired her business savvy and pride in country living. She once said, "I see so much of my family in the things that I do. And I love and embrace that."
She recorded the single "Puppy Love" at 13 and appeared at the Grand Ole Opry. She graduated high school and moved to Nashville the next day. She signed a record deal at 19 with a label that insisted she stay in the bubblegum pop lane. When a song she wrote (and sang on, uncredited) hit number 6 on the country charts, her label finally saw things her way and she boldly released her first country single: "Dumb Blonde" (an anthem of blondes everywhere).
Some say she joined The Porter Wagoner Show and the rest is history. But that's one chapter of her life where her kind heart truly shines through. She had lots of success with the show and her partnership with Porter, but by 1974, she knew it was time to go her own way. She wrote "I Will Always Love You" as a professional goodbye; she played him the song and he seemed to give his blessing. Despite later suing her for breach of contract, she continued to respect Porter as her mentor. They rekindled their friendship by 1988 to sing a duet together. She even helped him out of tax troubles by buying his production company, then gifting it back to him. She was at his bedside the day he died.
Parton's kindness certainly doesn't end there. She has invested millions of dollars into business ventures in east Tennessee, helping create a tourism economy in the area. In 1986, Dolly bought an interest in a local theme park and reopened it as Dollywood; today, that park sits on 150 acres and has over 3 million visitors each year. She is credited with bringing jobs and money to the formerly-impoverished area.
To honor her father, she started a literacy program known as Dolly Parton's Imagination Library that mails one book per month to each enrolled child from the time of birth through kindergarten (in 2018, the program donated its 100 millionth free book). Her charity, the Dollywood Foundation, works to support causes like the American Red Cross and HIV/AIDS-related charities. From helping to preserve the American bald eagle to starting a telethon to help raise money for victims of the 2016 Great Smoky Mountains wildfires, her organization has done good for the South and the nation as a whole.
Most recently, Dolly was in the news for donating $1 million towards COVID-19 vaccine research at Vanderbilt University; her donation helped fund the Moderna vaccine. She encouraged others to give to this cause. "I felt like this was the time for me to open my heart and my hand and try to help," she explained.
In spite of being ranked by Nashville Business as the wealthiest country music star, she has always maintained her humble, self-effacing style. She's the first to crack a joke about her "Backwoods Barbie" image: "I know some of the best Dolly Parton jokes. I made 'em up myself."
She also holds onto her faith. "I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good," she once said. She's also said, "You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love, and all those things you can't put a dollar sign on."
With an incredible spirit of determination, bucket loads of talent, and a sturdy sense of humor, Dolly will forever be one of the most influential, important women to come out of the South.

This is a really nice hotel, and the customer service is excellent. You could not ask for a better location downtown. The only issue is with the wifi signal; it is really slow! This makes it difficult to do business. Hopefully it improves.

Starting out breastfeeding; immediately after baby is born 0–4 days
- :kidshealth.org.nz
- 729
This is just after you've given birth and are starting to breastfeed. It's often called the initiation stage.
Breastfeeding now gives vital fluid, immunological factors and nutrients to the newborn (in the first milk called colostrum) and their 'latching on' starts your milk flowing.
The majority of new mothers will be in a maternity care facility for some of the time, however, some will be at home during this period.
Why start out breastfeeding?
- The early breast milk, or colostrum, protects baby from infections.
- Breast milk gives food and fluid for a baby in the most easily digested way.
- Breastfeeding helps bond with baby.
- Breastfeeding helps your organs return to their normal place/shape.
- Breastfeeding reduces your risk of immediate post-birth bleeding.
Remember any breastfeeding is good for baby, so if you've made it this far, you're doing well.

Acorn Entertainment Group is excited to announce that it has made an offer to build Jackalope Junction, "the world's first" Steampunk Western Storypark, in the heart of Historic Williams, Arizona, the "Gateway to the Grand Canyon" on a prime 77 acre parcel, part of a future planned community development by Kansas Development LLC.
Teaming up with Acorn Entertainment Group to help with the story element is the award-winning studio collective AdventureLAB based in Denmark, with guidance from its founder and CEO, Klaus Sommer Paulsen who was a member of the EME Division Board and then the International Board of the Themed Entertainment Association, along with its Digital Concept Developer, Ecaterina Capatina.
The story of Jackalope Junction centres around a small Steampunk Western town of the late 1800's, full of well-crafted characters and the story of the town itself – an old abandoned mining town that is restored by our main character and hero, Jackalope Jim.
According to Greg Schumsky, Creator of Jackalope Junction and founder of Acorn Entertainment Group, the story ties into a couple of world-renowned storytelling genres, from the adventures and tales of the Old West, to the fantastical worlds of Jules Verne.
"There's a certain element within the stories of the American Western Genre as well as those of Jules Verne. Each touches on the innate human need for adventure and exploration into the unknown, and include true tales of perseverance, courage, sadness, loss, and victory despite all the odds against the heroes. Since I was a child, I was enthralled with both forms of storytelling – my first real western book I loved as a child was "Mr. Mysterious and Company" by famed author, Sid Fleischman, and was equally enthralled by several movies based on Jules Verne's books, as most of the characters started off as just your average person, yet they were able to overcome so many challenges and obstacles that only made them stronger.
"There's a wonderful passage in the Bible that says "but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. We have an innate need to persevere. I hope to bring that lesson back to the children and adults of the world we live in – with a sense of values, kindness and a moral code that seems to have gone missing for a long time now, told through our characters and a certain level of wholesomeness that's fallen away as well," quotes Schumsky.
The park is going to be small in comparison to most "typical" theme parks, coming in around 10-12 acres and limited to 3000 guests per day, through a reservation system plus walk-ins. Acorn plans to build in the town of Williams, Arizona, with an average of 5 million visitors a year, as part of a massive 500 acre planned community, themed to late 1880's architecture, which Acorn will be instrumental in the design and architecture, so the community feels like it's historically part of Williams and Jackalope Junction, as the park will be the anchor for the development. Acorn Entertainment Group is hoping that a majority of the build for the park will be funded through the State of Arizona Theme Park Tax District Bond.
The park will feature an unusual steampunk western town with retail, food and entertainment, including the first robot owned and operated coffee house "Java Joe's" to feature coffees from small roaster, "Expedition Roasters" known for their hand crafted themed coffees. Jackalope Junction will also have a very unique "Back Country" with a turn of the century county fair, rustic buildings that will host several original attractions based on our characters and their stories, and a huge gem mine experience, with a "Mine Cave Adventure Tour", world-class maze, and hidden VIP eating establishment – the "Time Crystal Club", or guests can go for an exciting ride above the treetops in one of Baron VonZümski's SkyRunner Rocket Planes.
Shops to be included will be Gurdy's Mercantile and General Store, Ma Gurdy's Toy Box featuring hand-carved wooden toys and rag dolls; McCowan's "Jackalope Junction™ Town Cryer" newspaper office, Professor Ping's Emporium of Magic and Science, Vincent's Barbershop; an old time photo studio, Capuchino's Vintage Bizarre, featuring unique one of a kind custom made pieces for the home; and the local jail and Sheriff's office.
Other buildings to be included are a town bank, town hall, and fire department. The park will also feature a Native American Village with our "Magic Sky Theater", and an overnight camping experience for families. Jackalope Junction will have several food options for all palates, from a grand saloon restaurant – the Lucky Rabbit; Paula Pigg's quick-serve picnic counter with fried chicken to be enjoyed on the massive lawn with an outdoor stage; a turn of the century ice cream parlour and soda fountain, candy shoppe, Pasquale's Pizzeria, Señor Molé's Tacos N Tamales, Big Bob's Barbecue, and several food carts with county fair offerings.
Plans are to have outside the park a 5 acre event centre, and eventually a 140 room themed hotel based on the famous Wawona in Yosemite; a Live Farm Experience, working in conjunction with 4H and the Future Farmers of America, where high schoolers can give demos on raising small livestock as well as growing vegetable gardens. Guests to the farm can enjoy a great farm to table menu in the small café.
Guests will also be able to have tours of the nearby Acorn Entertainment Studios, to see firsthand how a theme park is designed and developed, watch animators working on our future animated television series, or see artists and craftsmen working in our large fabrication facility on elements of new rides and attractions.
Plans are to have the event centre opened by Spring 2023 along with the studios, and the park to be opened by Summer 2024. As an intellectual property that has so much depth and the ability to touch so many lives, we plan on taking the story of Jackalope Junction and it's characters to children's books, animated television, and licensing for clothing and toys as well.
