CSUSB Receives $749K NSF Grant For Cyber Pilot Program
CSUSB receives $749K NSF grant to help develop a community college cyber pilot program
San Bernardino, Calif. – The National Science Foundation has awarded $749,869 to Cal State San Bernardino as part of a $4.3 million grant to recruit and mentor 30 students from five community colleges to ultimately work in cybersecurity in federal agencies and departments.
As part of the three-year grant for the Community College Cyber Pilot Program, the CSUSB Cybersecurity Center will partner with Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Wash., said Tony Coulson, a CSUSB professor of information and decision sciences and director of the university's Cybersecurity Center.
The program was designed to increase the level of diversity among students enrolled in cybersecurity programs and allow members of underrepresented communities to engage in the field. The CSUSB center will be mentoring students, specifically with veterans and adults who need "retooling" to meet the needs of cybersecurity and government service, Coulson said.
"Cybersecurity is an important national concern in this region. This program will help improve the pipeline of critically needed cyber skills," Coulson said. "CSUSB is helping provide national leadership in these initiatives."
U.S. Rep. Pete Aguilar, whose 31st Congressional District includes CSUSB, praised the grant, saying it was vital to the nation's interest to increase those trained in cybersecurity.
"Cybersecurity is an increasingly important part of our overall national security strategy," said Aguilar. "I'm proud to announce this funding which will allow Cal State San Bernardino to grow their reputation as a leader in the cybersecurity field while growing our nation's pool of cyber talent."
As part of the grant, the center will also work on faculty development and help to build the institutional capacity required for community colleges to run cybersecurity programs on their campuses, and to increase the diversity of students enrolling in the cyber programs, ultimately increasing the number of cybersecurity professionals in federal employment, Coulson said.
Under the grant, Whatcom will administer the scholarships and manage the scholarship awards to community colleges, which will be selected from around the country.
Each pilot college, including Whatcom, will serve a cohort of five students. Over a two-year period, the project will award a total of $2,490,000 in student scholarships and a total of $498,000 in stipends to the pilot colleges, for a grand total of $2,988,000 in funding to the six pilot colleges.

What Is Knee Replacement?
Total knee replacement (total knee arthroplasty) surgery replaces parts of the knee joint with artificial (prosthetic) parts.
What is Knee Replacement Used For?
Total knee replacement is usually used:
- To relieve pain caused by severe arthritis
- To restore function to an arthritic knee
- To correct significant deformity
- For severe patellofemoral arthritis (rarely used for this condition)
Total knee replacement may be considered when other treatments (weight loss, exercise and physical therapy, medications, injections, and bracing) have failed to relieve the pain, which must be significant and disabling.
About 82% of total knee replacements last 25 years and can be affected by a patient's activity levels. The procedure is usually reserved for older patients who perform modest activities or younger patients with limited function due to severe arthritis.
How Do Doctors Perform Knee Replacement?
Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure performed under regional or general anesthesia.
The procedure is as follows:
- An incision is made in the front of the knee
- The lower part of the upper leg bone (distal femur) and the upper part of the lower leg bone (proximal tibia) are cut and removed
- The ends of the bone are modified so the knee replacement prosthesis can be attached in the optimal position
- The proper functioning of motion in the knee replacement is assessed and then the prosthesis is cemented into place
- The incision is repaired and the knee is bandaged and braced
- Total knee replacement surgery takes about two to three hours
- The patient is usually in recovery with observation for 24 hours
- Patients are given pain medications and cryotherapy to reduce postoperative swelling and pain
- Patients are encouraged to walk on the second day following the surgery and are usually supervised by a physiotherapist until discharge
How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Knee Replacement?
There are many factors that determine how long it takes to recover from a total knee replacement.
Patients are typically discharged from the hospital within five to 14 days after knee replacement surgery.
Short-term recovery, in which a patient can walk with minimal aid or no aid and only needs over-the-counter pain relief generally occurs within twelve weeks after surgery, and most patients can return to full normal activities within 3 to 6 months.
What are Risks and Complications of Knee Replacement?
Complications of knee replacement surgery include:
- Blood clot in the deep veins of the leg (called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT)
- A DVT can be deadly if it travels to the lungs (called a pulmonary embolism) so see a doctor if you have symptoms that could indicate a DVT, such as leg pain or swelling
- Infection
- Signs of infection include fever, chills, pain in the knee that gets worse suddenly, increasing redness, or swelling
- Stiffness
- Early failure of the implant
- Need for revision surgery if the knee replacement is performed on patients younger than age 50
- Persistent pain
- Dissatisfaction with the outcome of the procedure

You don't have to be a boiler expert to learn how to care for one. There are a few things that every homeowner, especially those that have boilers, needs to learn to ensure their boilers stay running smoothly all year long. By keeping your boiler healthy and running, you can save yourself money in the long-run.
Proper Boiler Maintenance
One important thing to remember is that any time your boiler requires servicing, this job should be left up to the professionals, including any replacement services. For boiler replacement in Edinburgh contact www.blackhallplumbing.co.uk. There are, however, a few simple things you can do to ensure your boiler keeps running.
Check Heating Year Round
Running a central heating unit regularly is a great way to keep your boiler running in top condition. Even if you don't necessarily have to heat your house, turn it on every now and again for 10 to 15 minutes to help make sure all the parts are moving right, this will help minimise the potential for breaking.
Regular Boiler Servicing
You will want to arrange regular boiler servicing with professionals to go over all the internal working parts to make sure they are running correctly. Even if there are no problems with your boiler, servicing it regularly will help to make sure it remains in working order.
Major Problems Require Professionals
If you find a problem with your boiler upon checking of it, you will want to call in a professional. Do not try to fix the problems all by yourself.
Maintaining a Boiler in Rental Properties
If you rent your home and have a boiler on site, it is best to speak with your landlord first about the proper maintenance.
- As a Tenant
When you are a tenant, it is the job of the landlord to keep up with boiler maintenance. By law, they must ensure your boiler is working properly and gets the right servicing at least one time each year.
- As a Landlord
As a Landlord you are responsible for maintaining your gas appliances in your rental properties. This includes any servicing by professionals yearly, as well as proper check-ins to ensure everything is running accordingly.
Your Boiler and Carbon Monoxide
Keeping up with boiler maintenance can help to prevent any carbon monoxide incidents. These useful tips can help you learn more about carbon monoxide and how it pertains to your boiler.
Carbon Monoxide: What is it?
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas you cannot taste, see or even smell, this is what makes it extremely dangerous.
Invest in a Carbon Monoxide Alarm
When you have a boiler it's a good idea to invest in a carbon monoxide alarm and install it in your home. When the alarm detects any carbon monoxide it will be able to alert you to it right away.
Installing a Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Installing an alarm is fairly simple. Ensure you place it around one metre away from the boiler. This way if the leak comes from your broiler it will be able to alert you immediately.

The latest Digital Connectivity Programme from the Local Government Association (LGA) seeks to build on successful – and failed – projects of digital connectivity in local governments' past. But what does it mean to be truly connected? And what can be learned by the private sector? Quadrant sits down with Cllr Peter Fleming, leader of Sevenoaks District Council and chair of the LGA's Improvement and Innovation Board, to find out more
Although the Coronavirus pandemic has lead local governments to rely more than ever before on connectivity and connected infrastructure, being 'digital' has long been an aspiration at the Local Government Association (LGA).
In 2014, the LGA launched the Digital Experts funding programme, supporting 42 councils to build digital skills in staff; the Digital Transformation programme, in 2016, funded councils to support the wider use of emerging technologies in health and social care, public health, and welfare reform, amongst other sectors; the Digital Channel Shift programme, launched last year, then sought to make sure council services were digitally accessible: "Instead of it being the same way but just digitally, thinking about different ways of delivering this services in a completely different way, albeit on a digital platform," says Cllr Peter Fleming OBE, chairman of the LGA Improvement and Innovation Board.
For the leader of Sevenoaks District Council, the varying projects highlight how the intention to share best practice in going digital "was always there," but the rampant and virulent effects of the pandemic have highlighted how connectivity – not just in physical infrastructure, but using digital to be emotionally connected to the residents of the area – is important now more than ever.
If you can't even get online, then you've got an issue
"We're really wanting to be about the widest possible meaning of the word connectivity: not just to mean the sort of technical 'I've got poor WiFi', or 'I can't get a mobile signal' and instead thinking about the wider context of connectivity," Peter explained to Quadrant. "I think clearly [connectivity] is now a much greater focus, because people who may, in the past, would swear and curse at their mobile or their digital connectivity – are now screaming, because that is now a major part of all of our lives. People rely on it, if they've been asked to shield for example, or the reliance on home delivery of food. If you can't even get online, then you've got an issue."
Embracing innovation with The Digital Connectivity Programme
The latest iteration in building a digital local government infrastructure, the Digital Connectivity Programme, is a £130k LGA scheme, inviting local councils to apply for £20,000 in funding for six projects around England. "Really, it's about councils coming forward with proposals about how they are looking to solve their particular connectivity programme," Cllr Fleming said.
"Whether that's a rural council looking at what their opportunities are to solve issues that might be around mobile connectivity, or rural businesses, all the way up to our core cities, and what they're trying to do around connectivity." Whilst £20,000 may be a humble sum to major cities around the UK, Peter noted how the funding could be used to kick-start a project or get one over the line.
Managers of the programme are in particular looking for a confluence of local councils – joint two-tiered approaches, public-private partnerships, a mix of sizes and make-ups of local authorities around the country, and a buy-in from that council's leadership team – to "improve connectivity potential," and encourage digital inclusion and reduce the digital divide in their area.
There's often great work going on, and it may be of value to the council where that work is ongoing, but it may not necessarily benefit the whole of the sector
Applicants will need to showcase how the project will improve connectivity experienced by communities, as well as breaking down projected spending, and how the wider learning will be transferrable to other councils around the nation. "I think the great thing about the LGA," proudly claimed Peter. "There's often great work going on, and it may be of value to the council where that work is ongoing, but it may not necessarily benefit the whole of the sector.
"What these programmes do is get projects over the line, but it also promotes best practice across the sector."
Being okay with failing – and taking a leaf from private's book
Cllr Fleming noted how, whilst successful projects from previous schemes and ones from this connectivity programme are of course welcomed and to be celebrated, sometimes failed projects are crucial to get to the point of a truly innovative digital service. "Particularly when you think about innovation in all of its terms, it's not always about a project being fully successful, or fully meeting its desired outcomes. For us, particularly in a membership organisation with the sorts of numbers of members we've had – we've had 300 member councils – of equal value is the learning that is taken away from it for the whole sector," explained the Sevenoaks District Council leader.
That classic thing about innovation, particularly around the private sector, is for every one success, there's been 99 failures in getting to that point
"What worked well? What didn't work well? Is it replicable? Is it something we can do at scale? A lot of what the LGA does is around that: we are never going to be able to fund every programme, but what we can do is we can fund some programmes, and then really disseminate all of that information to all of our members, so they can then see what has worked, see what hasn't.
"That classic thing about innovation, particularly around the private sector, is for every one success, there's been 99 failures in getting to that point, at least." Cllr Fleming continued to note how, in the public sector, "we can't afford that," in spending for value on behalf of the taxpayer, but if an interesting project doesn't work out, "it's better that we've funded one council to go on that journey, than 50 councils going on that journey, and all finding out that it doesn't work," said Peter.
This embrace of private sector thinking was distilled by Peter using his example of the Google Alphabet Project Loon concept. Using weather balloons to provide connectivity above the amazon rainforest, the Loon project was highlighted by Cllr Fleming as that embracement of private sector thinking to encourage innovation: "I asked the question of why don't we do our own Project Loon?" Peter said. "I don't think the £20,000 will cover that – but sometimes in local government, we have to steal from other people in terms of if a solution isn't forthcoming from government, and we need to look at what is happening in the private sector, what's happening around the world, what are those other solutions.
"As the chair of the Improvement and Innovation Board, it's about looking at these programmes – but driving that view that we should be trying to innovate, even in difficult times. We should be always trying to pursue, moving forward."
Whilst you may not see any WiFi weather balloons over Sevenoaks in Kent any time soon, this harnessing of innovative thinking is crucial for local government in building connectivity – both physically and mentally – across councils in England to give the most in-need residents the connectivity they deserve.

News Releases from Region 10
EPA invites Tacoma and Seattle to apply for $115 million in loans for wastewater projects
$98 million Lake Washington Ship Canal, $17 million Tacoma wastewater projects are eligible
SEATTLE – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is inviting a total of 39 projects in 19 states to apply for Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loans. Together, the selected borrowers will apply for WIFIA loans totaling approximately $6 billion to help finance over $12 billion in water infrastructure investments and create up to 190,000 jobs.
Major wastewater facilities in Tacoma and Seattle are among the eligible projects.
"Through WIFIA, EPA is playing an integral role in President Trump's efforts to improve and upgrade our nation's water infrastructure and ensure all Americans have access to clean and safe water," said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. "This announcement highlights billions of dollars in needed water infrastructure investments to upgrade aging infrastructure, reduce exposure to lead and emerging contaminants and improve the lives of millions of Americans across the country – all while creating almost 200,000 jobs."
"I know first-hand how important it is to find outside capital when a community needs critical infrastructure investments," said EPA Region 10 Administrator Chris Hladick. "These wastewater projects in Washington are important public health investments, so we're pleased that Tacoma and Seattle are included in this list of eligible communities."
"The City of Tacoma is grateful for the EPA's invitation to apply for WIFIA funding to deliver critical improvements at Tacoma's Central Wastewater Treatment Plant," said Environmental Services Director Mike Slevin. "This facility treats over 7 billion gallons of wastewater annually, and any sustained loss of power could cause environmental damage. This project will improve reliability, increase redundancy, and reduce risks to the environment. We are committed to protecting the Puget Sound and appreciate the EPA's support."
EPA's WIFIA loans will allow communities across the country to implement projects to address national water priorities – including providing for clean and safe drinking water by reducing exposure to lead and emerging contaminants, addressing aging water infrastructure and developing water recycling and reuse projects. EPA received 51 letters of interest from both public and private entities in response to the 2019 WIFIA Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). After a robust, statutorily required review process, the WIFIA Selection Committee chose the Tacoma and Seattle wastewater treatment projects to be in the eligible pool of applicants:
- City of Tacoma Sewer Utility Central Wastewater Treatment Plant Electrical Distribution System Replacement Project -- $17 million
The Electrical Distribution System Replacement Project will repair, replace, and rehabilitate the entire electrical distribution system at the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant. The purpose of the project is to improve the reliability and redundancy of the facility's primary electrical power.
- King County Ship Canal Water Quality Project -- $98 million
The Ship Canal Water Quality Project will build an offline storage tunnel to reduce the number and volume of Combined Sewer Overflows that discharge into the Lake Washington Ship Canal from the Ballard, Fremont, Wallingford, and north Queen Anne neighborhoods of the city. The purpose of the project is to fulfill the requirements in the consent decrees for both King County and the City of Seattle to control CSO discharges at six designated locations. The project is projected to reduce the volume of CSO discharges by about 90 percent and result in substantial water quality benefits.
To learn more about the 39 projects that are invited to apply, visit https://19january2021snapshot.epa.gov/wifia/wifia-selected-projects.
Established by the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014, the WIFIA program is a federal loan and guarantee program administered by EPA. WIFIA's aim is to accelerate investment in the nation's water infrastructure by providing long-term and low-cost supplemental credit assistance for regionally and nationally significant projects. EPA's WIFIA program plays an important part in President Trump's infrastructure plan, which calls for expanding project eligibility. The WIFIA program has an active pipeline of pending applications for projects that will result in billions of dollars in water infrastructure investment and thousands of jobs.

Here he is in all his golden glory. Prince Sigvald the Magnificent, the Chosen Scion of Slaanesh and soon to be Champion of The Pit (by my predictions anyways).
The model itself is really nice I just wish I had sourced a metal version from eBay instead of the Limp Cast one I used. His rapier was bent like a scimitar and even after heat bending it and coating it in a thin layer of CA+ it is already bending back. If he was a model from an army I actually played I would take the time to make a metal or styrene blade and swap it out. Other than that the detail around the rest of the model was exceptional and virtually bubble free so I shouldn't complain too much.
I think the part I liked painting the most was his hair. Rather than try to build up the highlights I started with Screaming Skull overall as a base and then carefully painted various Shades into the recesses and between strands. I think it came out looking a nice, clean, strawberry blonde. I am fairly sure this was easier than trying to get my brush to ride each of the high points.
Another thing I did for the first time was to use three different varnishes. I put gloss on the metal bits, and the snakes but was careful to keep it out of recesses. I didn't want a glossy highlight in the dark areas. The cloth and skin got a coat of a matte and for the hair I used a satin. The effect this gives the model doesn't translate to these static 2D shots. When held in hand or viewed on the table it makes the metals really pop and play with the natural lighting. The shield looks almost mirror like which matches the fluff perfectly.
I really feel like taking my time with models I never would have painted for my armies is helping me tryout some new techniques and get better at old ones. Still there is something about Sigvald that makes me feel like I need a shame-shower now that I have completed him … the guy is just a creep.
Episode 5 of the Dimensional Cascade podcast is up now with The Pit match for Chakax and Belegar Ironhammer. Subscribe and when episode 6 pops up you can hear if Sigvald is able to unseat the reigning champion Belegar.
If there is a special character you would like to see me paint to fight in The Pit, post it below. For this round I will be cheering for Belegar. I will never cheer for Chaos!

Love the finished piece – I am surprised you chose not to work a pinstripe or knotwork around the edge of the cloak though as that much blank space almost begs for a treatment from an artist of your skills

The boss is the driver
Of the bus without brakes
With little understanding of traffic rules
And no idea, whatsoever, about GPS
With no spare parts and extra fuel
In a straight line, at a breakneck speed
He drives down the road to perdition
Which spike strips can only accelerate
Onboard with him are freeloaders,
Quintessential political rectums; cheering
Whom the best they can espouse is shit
And when the spikes tear into the tires
And the shreds hit the shit, and specks fly
Without hesitation, they will take to the windows—
Leaving the boss, lonesome, as the bus barrels on—
For self-reinvention is best achieved stainless.
Indeed, it is on the altar of opportunism
That a political animal is best sacrificed.

The Ourivesaria Façanha, Lda. was created in 1967 by Partner J. Façanha and is a company located in the North of Portugal, in the municipality of Monção, a few kilometers from the border with Galicia. It is mainly dedicated to the Production and Marketing of all types of artefacts of Goldsmithing and Decoration with Silver Applications, also marketing several brands of jewelry and watchmaking that have already won the trust of consumers. Initially, the company was dedicated to the marketing of jelwery, with two stores in Monção. But thanks to the entrepreneurial dynamics of its Administrators, encouraged by the growing demand by the public for products with the original design, The jelwery 's Achievement expanded in 2004, with the creation of its own manufacturing section.
Its very innovative, precise and detailed production procedures (which begin, from the outset with the choice of materials- precious stones, semi-precious, pearls), the art at the junction of the raw material with gold and/or silver, the unique design, the specific technologies and tools and the necessary skilled workforce, make it possible to create unique jewelry and exclusive collections / limited edition.
Where can I find the physical stores of The Ourivesaria Façanha? What can I expect from this company?
In addition to the two existing stores in the municipality of Monção, the company Ourivesaria Façanha, Lda. also bet on the opening of FACI Jóyas in the city of Valença do Minho, in 2007. The company also has another store, OFAC DesingDecor, a project started in 2010, with diversified sectors (textile, small furniture, kitchen and bath, children's line), with reference brands (such as Atlântis, Vista Alegre, Porcel, Spal...) and betting on new articles that mark the difference in the home.
Also in 2010, the company Ourivesaria Façanha Lda. decided to create its own brand of jewelry, Ana Rua, combining silver and other materials of excellence, resulting in design jewelry, with limited edition collections. The Ana Rua brand has been expanding throughout the country, already counting on several points of sale in numerous Portuguese cities and has also been present in national and international events in the area of goldsmithing and jewelry. All stores strongly bet on the loyalty of their customers, responding to their immediate demands for personalized service, either for the wide range of products available, or with respect for after-sales assistance, also offering the customer the possibility of adapting certain products in our facilities. From abroad and participation in national / international events, administrators bring new trends to their collections, in order to surprise our customers, ensuring quality and good taste!

The topological insulating materials offer conductive surface states
that can be useful for quantum computing, catalysis, and other
applications. In this recent work, we (Young, Chowdhury, Walter, Mele,
Kane, and Rappe, under review, 2011) show that compressing the material
strengthens the topological insulating state, while expanding the
material eventually takes this behavior away completely. Using external
pressure as a control parameter suggests general ways to strengthen
this important physical effect.
Black: the solid is expanded; there is an ordinary band gap
Blue: moderate compression closes the gap; Dirac cone seen
Red: further compression opens a different kind of gap: the connectivity of the states gives exotic surface properties

Mattress and sleep-related products brand Wakefit, along with Comicstaan fame stand-up comedian Rahul Dua, has launched a quirky branded video content that highlights the negative impact of modern lifestyle on our slumber. The film highlights the benefit of Wakefit's memory foam-based mattresses in getting that perfect nap.
Wakefit recently concluded recording the Great Indian Sleep Scorecard 2018, an exhaustive survey conducted across top seven cities of India with over 7500 respondents — Bangalore, Delhi, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata — and other regions, gathering the factors that are wrong in the way Indians sleep, thus impacting their lives.
The survey revealed that a 31% of people get less than seven hours of sleep, being kept up by smartphones, work, social media or just worrying about the future. This leads to 32% Indians waking up feeling tired, irregular sleeping patterns not aligned with circadian rhythms, to 17% even believing they have insomnia. 89% have disturbed sleep, having woken up 1-2 times every night and 49% feeling that a better mattress will improve their quality of sleep dramatically.
These results provide the groundwork for the campaign, which sees an overworked and under-rested Rahul Dua, representing the everyday modern Indian, complaining about how his hectic lifestyle has not allowed him to have a good nap in ages. Moreover, what little sleep he gets is interrupted by his mattress, which after years of trusted service, cannot take the burden of spilled dal and stubbed out cigarettes anymore and is finally giving up. Rahul Dua's uncanny, highly energetic and passionate plea brings out the desperate need for Indians today to have an uninterrupted snooze time. This is when he is introduced to Wakefit's specially designed, memory foam-based mattresses, and the rest is his story of getting the perfect slumber.
Chaitanya Ramalingegowda, Co-Founder, Wakefit, said, "The campaign with Rahul wraps all of these facets in a funny video campaign with him epitomising today's Indian who is suffering from lack of sleep. The narrative and structure of the storyline is unique, and the added talent of India's top comic star such as Rahul Dua has transformed the campaign into what we believe to be an extremely appealing way of talking about the problem of lack of sleep we are facing as a nation in a manner that resonates with our target customers."
Launched in early 2016 and headquartered in Bangalore, Wakefit is a start-up that researches on sleep and spine support to create innovative products. The company has a unique customer response driven R&D mechanism that conducts extensive interviews and follow-me-homes to understand people's sleep patterns and preferences and designs products based on the same. The research and interview process began in 2015 and since then, Wakefit has interviewed thousands and ensured millions of hours of blissful sleep to its users.

Massive Oil Spill Pollutes, Closes OC Beaches
By Lillian Boyd and Shawn Raymundo
An estimated 126,000 gallons of heavy crude oil leaked into the waters off Orange County on Saturday, October 2, 2021, prompting several beaches to close while crews continued throughout the week to clean up the contaminated areas where fish and coastal wildlife were being threatened.
The U.S. Coast Guard, with the help of federal, state, county and city agencies, has been spearheading the cleanup response and tracking the movement of the oil as it encroaches on Orange County's coastline.
As of Thursday, Oct. 7, the beaches in Dana Point and San Clemente have remained untouched, with officials announcing that there have been no reports of oil deposits found on either of the cities' shores.
"This morning, the (Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Team) walked our beaches, every mile of them, and have surveyed our shoreline and waterline, and found no evidence of oil on San Clemente shores," Samantha Wylie, the head of San Clemente's parks department, said during a city council meeting on Tuesday night.
"That means our beaches remain open; they are some of the only beaches and waters open in the area," she continued, later noting that while the San Clemente Pier remains open for anglers, "fishing is closed, fisheries are closed, just two miles north of our pier."
Dana Point officials told Dana Point Times that boaters have reported oil sightings roughly two miles offshore, but on Tuesday, October 5, crews had not identified any oil deposits or oil plume in the water near town.
"We do expect to see some deposits onshore; we just don't know the extent of it. We're monitoring it regularly," Dana Point City Manager Mike Killebrew said during a council meeting on Tuesday night.
SCAT crews walked Dana Point's shoreline as well, to assess any potential threats from the spill.
Wylie, San Clemente's representative at the unified command center in Long Beach, said Tuesday that mapping of the oil's movement in the ocean shows it "to be pretty static."
"It appears from the mapping, it's somewhat in the Dana Point area, not necessarily in their beaches, but moving into their waters, if you will," she said, before emphasizing that "it's pretty difficult to say how it's moving or where it's going."
Unified command comprises the Coast Guard, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Office of Spill Prevention and Response, and the Houston-based Amplify Energy Corp.
Late Monday, Oct. 4, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a state of emergency in Orange County, declaring to "cut red tape and mobilize all available resources to protect public health and the environment."
The massive spill, which was initially reported on Saturday morning, Oct. 2, and has since stopped seeping, originated from an underwater pipeline between the Port of Long Beach and an offshore oil platform that Amplify Energy operates.
Though the cause of the spill that's spread across nearly 16 miles of shoreline remains under investigation, divers sent down to identify the source of the leak earlier this week found new evidence to suggest that a ship's anchor might be responsible.
According to unified command, diver reports and footage from remotely operated vehicles showed that a 4,000-foot portion of the 17.7-mile-long pipeline had been displaced 105 feet away and was split open, with a 13-inch gash.
"The pipeline has essentially been pulled like a bow string," Amplify CEO Martyn Willsher said in a KTLA news report. "At its widest point, it is 105 feet (32 meters) away from where it was."
An anonymous source told Los Angeles Times that the Coast Guard is looking at whether an anchor from a commercial ship dragged the pipeline across the ocean floor.
According to news outlets, oil gushed into the Catalina Channel, creating a slick that spanned about 8,320 acres. The spill has left oil along long stretches of sand in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach, killing fish and birds and threatening ecologically sensitive wetlands in what officials are calling an environmental catastrophe.
Crews have continued to work to limit environmental damage from one of the largest oil spills in recent California history. The oil has tainted the sands of Huntington Beach and could keep the beaches there closed for weeks or more.
"We've more than doubled the level of effort just since yesterday, and those numbers will go up," Rebecca Ore of the U.S. Coast Guard said of the cleanup efforts during a press conference on Monday.
Noting that the spill has stretched from Huntington Beach to Laguna Beach, Ore said shoreline assessment teams are walking the beaches to examine sensitive coastal areas.
According to unified command, as of Thursday, October 7, more than 5,500 gallons of crude oil had been recovered and six miles of shoreline had been cleaned. To contain the oil, 11,360 feet of technical booms have been deployed, creating barriers and isolating impacted areas.
As for wildlife, 24 oiled birds have been recovered—19 alive, five dead.
Since the spill, several of Orange County's coastal cities have had to close their beaches, including Huntington Beach, which shut down its ocean and shoreline from the Santa Ana River Jetty to Seapoint Street. Laguna Beach has also closed its beaches.
Dana Point Harbor announced the closure to vessel traffic, which prevents boats from being permitted to enter or exit the harbor. Technical booms in the harbor have been put in place to protect the inner harbor from any oil intrusion from the outer breakwater.
Dana Cove and Baby Beach are also closed to swimmers, in addition to Salt Creek Beach and Strands Beach. Capistrano Beach and Poche Beach remain closed due to construction.
On Monday morning, the County of Orange also closed Newport Beach Harbor, as well as Bayside Beach, which is located within the Newport Beach Harbor.
On Thursday, beach closures were lifted and visitors are recommended to stay out of the water if oil is present at Salt Creek Beach, Strands Beach, Baby Beach, Monarch Beach and Dana Cove. Doheny State Beach is open. Dana Point Harbor remained closed, not allowing boaters to enter or exit.
Elected officials have been responding to the spill, as Rep. Michelle Steel (CA-48) on Sunday afternoon provided an update from her aerial tour of the damage and the Major Disaster Declaration request that she had sent to President Joe Biden.
"This oil spill is devastating for our community, and I am working hard to get Orange County the resources we need to clean up and keep our coastline safe. I'm thankful to the Coast Guard and local leaders who have been working around the clock to contain the spill. We are working together to keep our community safe," Steel said.
A Major Disaster Declaration makes additional federal assistance available for state and local agencies working to respond to a natural disaster, as well as individuals and households impacted.
Rep. Mike Levin, who represents cities including Dana Point, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano within the 49th Congressional District, took a Coast Guard flight to survey the oil spill, as well as a boat tour of the impacted areas this week.
"In this situation, we have a pipeline that we think is 40 years old, and reporting suggests there may have been an anchor that hit the pipeline, but that is preliminary," Levin said following the tours in which he could see the spread.
"I think this is evidence to me that there is no such thing as truly safe offshore drilling," Levin added.

Arun Jaitley, the union finance minister, said on Friday that Jammu and Kashmir has complete right to implement Goods and Services Tax in the state. "Jammu and Kashmir assembly has the complete right to implement GST in the state," he said at a press conference at SKICC.
The finance minister took a dig at that those opposing the implementation of GST: "Those who are opposing implementation of GST are actually against the people because consumers of the state have to give double tax. First, they have to give tax on inputs and then on final products because if GST is not implemented here then they won't get the input credit," Jaitley said.
On Thursday, J-K Finance minister, Dr Hasseb A Drabu, had told a news agency in Srinagar that Jammu and Kashmir will hold a special assembly session within 30 days to make changes that are needed before GST is implemented in the state. "The GST will bring major changes in fiscal and political side of India's federal structure because of which coercive federalism will pave way for cooperative and competitive federalism," Dr Drabu said while speaking at a Roundtable of the Finance Ministers organised by the financial newspaper The Mint at Royal Springs Golf Course here today.
While speaking about violence, Jaitley said that those people who resort to violence will be taken into account for their activities. "Terrorism and militancy are aimed against the Indian state and its sovereignty, and also against the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The effect of their actions is that besides security personnel, local citizens are also losing their lives. And those who take to violence of this magnitude will certainly be accountable for their actions.

text: The Kindometer in Action! How to Always Practice Kindness (with 3 Step Process) July 8, 2021 Reading Time: 6 min Share10TweetPinShare10 SharesRecently at a special birthday party gathering, I stood up for a child who was publicly called a MORon by an adult. This wasn't a joke and it was said loudly, with contempt.As the situation unfolded, I used the Kindometer to anchor and carry me through. In fact, whenever I notice I'm upset, triggered, tired or stressed in some way, I use the Kindometer in a 3 Step process.Below I share what happened and how I used the Kindometer. But first here's the AWW process I follow to practice kindness – always. Of course this process takes practice, but it's great to begin a habit around.A 3 Step Process to Always Be KindStep 1) A – ACKNOWLEDGE Kindness is neededThis 3 step process starts with simply noticing something is going on. Simply pause – and recognize – that someone or something requires a kind response. We may need to stop and say to ourself, "I see something is happening here".Step 2) W – WHO needs Kindness?Next, who needs the kindness?This always starts with ourselves (we 'put the oxygen mask on ourselves' first so we're in the best position to help others).Then consider who else needs kindness? Your community? What about the planet or our environment? Remember that it could be any or all of these.Step 3) W – WHAT LEVEL of Kindness is needed?Lastly, remember the Kindometer and choose the level of kindness needed. Here are some examples:Level 1) Kindness will likely be enough for a small, relatively unimportant situation.Level 2) Fierce Kindness may be needed if your values are involved, if commitments have been made, if something is important to you or someone is repeatedly crossing your boundaries.You may need to step up to Level 3) Kind Fierceness if there is bullying – towards yourself or others. Also for minor threats or when someone is disregarding your safety.Lastly, you will reach for Level 4) Fierceness if there is a tangible threat. Your instincts will kick in and this will take the form of fight, flight, freezing (or fawning) to survive.Optional Step 4) LEARN & GROWThis step is discretionary and is helpful for bigger and repeating situations. It's about reflecting, learning – and following up with ourselves or others if needed. Once the situation is over, you can ponder or journal around questions like:What did you do well?What did you learn?Are any follow up actions needed? Who should I follow up with and how?What could you/will you do differently next time? And how will you remember?Let's continue with the story…So, once upon a time there was a child who was called a name and publicly shamed at a party by an adult in a position of power.The name-caller (let's call them Mark) can be quite intimidating, so people at the party 'turned a blind eye'.This made me very uncomfortable. So I took a deep breath, and calmly said to Mark that I wasn't comfortable with calling people names.Yay. Fierce Kindness in action!But…I was sitting in between Mark and the birthday "girl" (let's call them Susan).So when Mark, eyes bulging, stares intensely at me and says: "Do-you-want-to-make-something-of-this? Is-that-what-you-want? You-want-to-do-this-NOW?", I was literally in a very awkward position!I tried to speak, but Mark talked loudly over the top of me: "So-you-REALLY-want-to-do-this? Now? Really? Is-THAT-what-you-want?"Beyond livid, Mark's body language was saying, "D'you-want-a-fight? 'Cos-if-you-want-one, Come-get-it, Just-try-it, GO-ON, Try-me!"Again, I tried to say something, but Mark talked over me before I got a word out! I paused and waited for him to finish and tried to speak one last time.Nope! He aggressively talked over me again.Now I dislike bullies. And part of me was just itching to have it out with them verbally…But Susan is on my left and it's her special birthday. And of course, the entire party is now watching and wondering what will happen next.And then I remembered the Kindometer…Step 1) ACKNOWLEDGE Kindness is needed.Sometimes we need to stop and really notice that we're upset, or stressed or tired – and then we can see that kindness is needed.In this case, the situation was right in my face! I needed to recognize that Kindness was the answer – and not allow anger or fear to overtake me!Step 2) WHO needs Kindness?(Remember we always start with ourself).Well, apart from feeling self-conscious at being the centre of a "scene", I was actually doing OK.Then there was Susan: I didn't want to spoil her special party so she needed some kindness and consideration.Next there was Mark. He was almost purple with rage and barely containing himself (afterwards my husband said he looked like he was going to have a heart attack!). Mark certainly wasn't capable of being his best self. I had clearly triggered him – and he definitely needed kindness (but of a stronger type!).And lastly there was the child who had been insulted. He might need some kindness too.Step 3) What LEVEL of Kindness is needed?Once I realised I was (surprisingly) OK, Mark was my most immediate consideration.For Mark, Level 3) Kindly Fierce was clearly needed. He was right in my face and being verbally aggressive. He was not thinking straight. I wasn't being allowed to speak – even to diffuse the situation. Kind Fierceness meant staying calm, maintaining eye contact and not escalating things.In particular, it was important to me (in situations like this we're role models for everyone present!) not to back down. If I had that suggests what happened was OK… So I made it clear I wasn't afraid by looking directly at Mark and not moving away. But. I wasn't going to escalate the situation either – as that would be unkind to Susan – and even Mark himself.So why not use Level 2) Fierce Kindness?Well, there was an element of risk – and self-assertion that went beyond simply stating our boundaries or pushing through discomfort. I felt this needed a step beyond Fierce Kindness. I had to be fierce to steel myself, maintain eye contact and not shrink. Plus for my own self-esteem I wanted Mark to know I would not be intimidated.And…Interestingly, I also had to be Level 3) Kindly Fierce to calm the part of me that wanted to escalate the situation by responding! This was the kind thing to do for 1) Susan, 2) the child who was already embarrassed enough, and 3) Mark – who was on the verge of exploding!Eventually after a very uncomfortable (what felt like minutes, but was probably 30 seconds or so) Mark broke eye contact, and the situation was over.OPTIONAL Step 4) Learn, Grow & Follow-upAfter a suitable pause, I spoke to the child and asked if he was OK (he was) and if he was OK with me speaking up for him (he was).I told him that it was not OK to call someone names, especially when there's a power imbalance, and that it's called bullying (he said he was used to it). I said he shouldn't have to be used to it and let him know that it was Mark's issue and not his. And I also said he could talk to me any time.Lastly, I let him know why I hadn't continued the conversation with Mark, so he understood that it was a choice not to escalate the situation. I hoped he was OK with that (he was).Of course in retrospect all this seems easy, which of course it wasn't!But the visual of the Kindometer anchored me: Don't go to Level 4) Pure Fierce! Stay connected to yourself. Be Kind. Follow the steps.Wrap-upBeing kind – no matter what – is one way to make the world a better place, raising the level of consciousness, energy and love on the planet. But it's a path we must consciously choose, because it takes Fierce Kindness to do the right – and kind – thing, when all around us other people are not.The Kindometer is a tool that helps us always be kind. It helps us consider what level of kindness is needed, and for whom?Remember the AWW Process:A – ACKNOWLEDGE kindness is needed.W – WHO needs kindness?W – WHAT LEVEL of kindness to use?Even though each situation is unique, this 3 step process works because it flexes.So. I hope you'll use the Kindometer to help you practice Fierce Kindness towards yourself, others and/or the planet. And I hope you also feel thrilled and enlivened – because you are now part of the solution!If you like this article, you may also like:Introducing a Key Fierce Kindness Tool: The KindometerWhy Fierce Kindness is a Practice…Why Fierce Kindness?

text: Japan has long been famous for good quality and fashionable clothing and related textile products. In recent years, products with features of light weight, waterproofing, wind-stopping and stain resistance attained unprecedented popularity in the industry. In addition, the propensity for textiles to catch fire is also a significant parameter. Specifically, the difficulty of ignition, spread or extent of burning and rate of combustion are critical elements in assessing the suitability of textiles for specific end uses, for example, children's nightwear, work wear, uniforms, upholstery fabrics, carpets and curtains. Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre (STC) perform tests on flammability of textiles, following Japanese Industrial Standard JIS L1091, to rate flammability on the basis of the results obtained by the four test methods.

We Accept Dental Insurance
We always strive to make your treatment experience at Combs & Associates Family Dentistry as seamless and stress-free as possible. At the same time, however, we recognize that sometimes the cost of dentistry in itself can be a source of stress. That's why we accept many forms of dental insurance. Our team is happy, not just to hep you understand your coverage, but also to file claims on your behalf. We can also give you a general idea of how insurance will mitigate the cost of certain dental services.
You're always welcome to call one of our offices if you have questions about our dental insurance policies or your treatment plan. We're eager to do whatever is within our power to help you achieve a happy, healthy smile!
Dental Insurance Basics
We're pleased to talk to you in-person about your insurance benefits, but in the meantime, here is a breakdown of some basic insurance terms:
- Premium – The monthly fee you and/or your employer pays to the dental insurance company. This helps to offset the cost of your dental treatments. As long as you stay current with your premium, your insurance will remain active.
- Maximum – The highest amount of money that your plan will pay out in a year.
- Covered cost – The percentage of your treatment cost that your insurance provider will pay.
- Out of pocket cost – The portion of your treatment cost that you are responsible for paying for.
- Deductible – The amount you must pay for services before your insurance coverage kicks in. Not all dental plans have a deductible.
Understanding Your Dental Benefit Plan
No two dental plans are exactly the same, but in general, each one covers a specific percentage of certain services. Here is a ballpark idea of how much you can expect your insurance to help with various dental procedures:
- Preventive dentistry (cleanings, checkups, etc.) – 80 to 100 percent
- Restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, etc.) – 50 to 80 percent
- Orthodontics (braces, Invisalign, etc.) – 50 to 80 percent
- Cosmetic dentistry – Typically not covered
- Dental implants – Not generally covered, although more and more dental insurance companies are including implants in their plans.
Maximizing Dental Insurance
The best way to get the most out of your dental insurance is to visit us twice a year for routine care. This saves you money because insurance pays for a greater percentage of preventive care than for other services. If you do need some extensive work, we'll put our experience to work and communicate with your insurance provider to make your costs as minimal as possible.
Choosing a dentist who is in-network with your insurance provider is another way for you to save money. "In-network" means that a dentist has a formal agreement with your insurance company that benefits both businesses. Insurance companies pay for a greater percentage of treatment costs when their customers receive treatment from an in-network dentist. At Combs and Associates, we're in-network with several major insurance providers. Indeed, we are proud to be your Delta Dental Premier dentist, your Cigna Dentist, and your BlueCross BlueShield Dentist.
Even if we are not in-network with your plan, we can still accept your insurance and file claims for you.

In March of 1817, James Monroe began his first term as the fifth president of the United States with a sense of reverence and purpose.
Attaining the nation's highest office was the logical culmination of his 50-year career in public service. The new president soon took to the road, ostensibly to inspect military installations in the northern region of the country. Covering more than 2,000 miles in seven states in 15 weeks, Monroe's successful tour inspired the phrase that would describe his administration: the Era of Good Feelings.
Two hundred years later, The James Monroe Museum kicks off a new social media campaign in celebration of the bicentennial of Monroe's presidency and his 1817 tour of the northern states. The three-part initiative marks the launch of the new Twitter username @PresMonroe. The social media campaign features three major themes designated by three different hashtags. Tweets featuring #JMo1stTerm will concentrate on the beginning of Monroe's presidency (1817-1821), including issues of focus as represented by his first inaugural address, cabinet appointments, and purpose for and speeches from his presidential tours. This portion of the campaign features a secondary hashtag, #JMoInaugural, which will highlight excerpts from his inaugural address.
The 1817 Tour of the Northern States will come to life through tweets from the road from President Monroe using #JMo1817Tour. The messages will trace the trail of the tour and highlight cities and towns Monroe stopped in, as well as the receptions he received, the activities he engaged in and excerpts from speeches along the way. It will also feature selections from newspaper articles about the tour.
The campaign includes a modern-day element, as well, through the use of #MonroeUSA, which will feature fun facts and stories about places named after James Monroe, with a focus on cities, counties and towns he visited on his tours.
All three hashtags, plus the occasional use of #PresMonroe will appear in tweets on the new @PresMonroe account and help distinguish its different themes.
The existing @JMonroeMuseum account will still be used to disperse Monroe history and Museum information, as usual.
To learn more, contact The James Monroe Museum at 540-654-1043.
The James Monroe Museum is a National Historic Landmark owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia and administered by the University of Mary Washington.

Back-to-School Products
Nobody likes to go back to school, yet the adventures of learning is just so attractive.
This has got to be one of the most mixed emotional series that we have done. Nobody likes to go back-to-school, yet the adventure of learning is just so attractive; or is it the curiosity of what everyone else looks like, or wears and how was their summer? Here are some products that will enhance social standing without too much of the Hollywood flash n' trash. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Many of these sites have a full array of suggestions for students and teachers that can help with class presentations and homework.
Pendaflex Products
These are hanging files that attach to the locker door. This adds more space to the locker and starts the student on the road to organizing their schoolwork without being a pain. Of course, in those cities where it's common to tape over the vent holes for safety the Locker File can be hung first then the plastic hook covered with the tape. Pendaflex made a miniature one that can serve the same purpose when organizing index cards for a speech or research project. Perhaps of equal value is the Pendaflex Web site with its suggestions for workflow and projects presentation. Easy, quick and look like a million bucks.
Dayrunner Student Assignment Book
It's a portable calendar that helps the kids remember when the last minute will occur so they can run around screaming, upset everybody and then get the job done. In fact if they get a passing grade, it was worth it. It can easily also convert to a party planner and that's why you need one: to never be late to a party. These skills must be nurtured at the early ages so when they enter the business world planning is converted into being on time for the job and delivering the work on schedule. Just don't tell the kids.
The Hybrid NoteBinder is made of plastic, cloth and tough enough to stand up to high school. It has tabbed note protectors so it's a notebook and a binder, hence the name hybrid. The LAX is a notebook designed with its own elastic band to hold all the papers you can stuff into it. Mead Advance stay-put folders come in a variety of colors to brighten up any locker. Term papers never looked so good. They even have a small pocket in the folder for index cards but I don't think I would ever do that much work.
Sumo Omni
If you have to go away to school, I suggest you leave the unsanitary crap home and take a space age beanbag called Omni. It can't stain, smell or rip. It's a chair for corners and a guest bed when needed. Although why is your date sleeping in the guest bed? It comes in various personality colors including hot pink and tangerine. The bag is filled with little tiny foam balls so this means it would be a super cooler for a cold drink by adding a plastic bag of ice. Just don't jump on it since I wouldn't want to explain to the hospital how you got injured laying on a beanbag. Idiot!
Office Depot
Our friends at Office Depot have assembled a back-to-school kit suggesting many products to make a student's life easier. They started with a TUG backpack that is ergonomically designed so as not to hurt the students back when they carry books. First carry a reasonable amount, and then use the backpack. It has strong zippers, padded straps and pockets for everything, including a neat little "earphone hole" for the headset so the pod doesn't warp. Little cutesy covered notepads are a must, but back them up with a paper wristband that you can write reminder notes on. Add a class notebook made from recycled paper and you're bound to get extra points in earth science. Finally the "Case it" three-ring strap closed binder insures no handout will be lost.unless you want it lost.
Dove Chocolates
Happy Birthday to Dovebar! It's their 50th birthday but we get the gifts. Dove has come out with three new chocolate ideas that your children will absolutely love, if they love chocolate. If they don't then there's more for you. Dove Chocolate Covered Almonds. On a cold day slip one of these bars into a binder with a note that says "I love you". While the note may embarrass the child, they will love the good eating. In fact, I'd put a couple of the small Dove Chocolate Bars right in their pockets. (At the same time, you're checking for taboo items.) That will let the kids know you have done your parental job and that they are still within inheritance range of the family fortune. Of course if you prefer a sugar free reward, Dove has the Sugar Free Chocolate with only 38 calories. Just try holding one of these in your mouth without chewing! I'd come home for more.
Staples "Back to School"
Back-to-school celebrations at Staples center around the themes of organization, planning and fashion. To organize in the home and in the school will allow the child to have the optimum learning environment; however if it doesn't look good then it won't be used.
From locker shelves, to locker locks with alphabet keys, to classroom notebooks and geometry tools, Staples seems to have read the book on organization. The fact that the products look good implies they asked the kids their opinion and listened. So here is the total idea. Go to Staples early, take a lot of time to figure out what you need and how you're going to use it, then buy it. Don't, don't, don't, rush out at the last minute and get things that ultimately you won't use after the first month. This year try a weekly planner to keep your own calendar of events and stop depending on your mommy! Know what's due when, and get it in. Just start out right and right is in the planning.

The little cell phone/camera case with extra padding and a "carabiner-isc" belt hook caught my interest. Small but protective of the camera meant I could carry it anywhere with minimal attention to breakage. The first rule in photography is "you have to have the camera". But a quick stop at the Web site revealed a bigger surprise: the "Cargo Bag." The pictures look great, the description seems true with only kept promises made. It carries a laptop and a whole lot of crap each with its own crap pocket. Sturdy rings attach the bag to the shoulder strap that say non-slip. This I have got to see: water resistant, strong zippers, padded and looks good. This bag was born in the streets and climbed the wall on Wall Street.
Royal "Info to go"
When I was young I walked two miles to school, uphill both ways, in the rain and sleet while doing extra homework. I never had a PDA all we had was a PEN. Today, the kids can start with the Extreme 6 PDA that is more powerful than fingers and toes and can hold more notes than a shirt sleeve. It has an address book, class and homework scheduler, to-do list maker, all in 7 different languages. The ezVue6 PDA can even do financial calculations for mortgages, loan saving accounts and IRA values. This is in addition to an address book, spell checker, thesaurus and calendar/planner. These things do so much you'll have no excuse for not getting an A+. And if all those functions are too much to cope with info overload), Royal has broken them down into a thesaurus/dictionary/speller and a personal organizer. Both have a three language translator to prevent things like "I didn't understand the teacher". It's all good. X Rocker
This is a highly designed gaming, video or just listening to CDs chair. The chair really does put you in the experiential sound aura of the game. The next time Phantazma-what's-face shoots, you can hear and almost "feel" the photon torpedo hit your ship and hear the screams of the crew. Maybe it's almost a bit too realistic. As for movies, why put all those sound system speakers around the room for your Buds to enjoy when they don't contribute to the eats. This chair has it all. Use the packaging's industrial plastic garbage bag and you'll have some isolationist privacy too.

Uninstall Apps on macOS Using AppCleaner
Uninstalling unused applications is good practice for a number of reasons. First, it allows you to free up valuable space on your hard drive. Second, many applications run background processes that you may not even be aware of, claiming valuable CPU cycles.
Removing specific applications like TotalFinder are sometimes tedious and not straightforward. That said, there are some universal methods for software uninstallation that almost always work.
Fortunately, some applications are easy to uninstall—especially those that ship with an uninstaller. For apps that don't, you can try to safely delete the app using AppCleaner.

This week's top dish from Eater DC, Curbed's restaurant, bar, and nightlife blog...
PENN QUARTER—After more than three years of waiting, it's now clear that Wagamama will not be opening in the space they leased on 7th Street NW — or anywhere in D.C. anytime soon. The chain will focus on expanding around Boston.
EATER MAPS—Curious where all those wealthy, hot Republicans toss back a beer or a cocktail? Here's a map of popular GOP member haunts, from Smith Point to the Capital Grille.
D.C.—Baltimore breakfast and lunch favorite Miss Shirley's has its sights set on the District. The owner of the popular mini-chain would like at least one location in D.C. proper, and has looked in Bethesda as well.
EATALY-OBSESSING—It's looking less likely that Mario Batali's Eataly concept is considering D.C. a priority for its expansion. The mega food hall has signed a lease in Chicago and most of the potential sites for the market are either being filled by retailers or are too small.
DOWNTOWN—Tom Sietsema might not have been thrilled with Equinox, given his recent 1.5 star review of the longtime restaurant near the White House, but the owners are fighting back. They're letting their patrons decide, organizing a poll where they can vote on their favorite menu (including one made up of the dishes the critic both liked and dissed).
H STREET NE—The latest restaurant to get President Obama's seal of approval is Smith Commons, where the president dined last week. Eater has the details of the dinner.
THE CRITICS—Tom Sietsema unleased his 2012 Fall Dining Guide on the masses this week. Eater picks apart the details, and sees which restaurants are now on the critic's list of favorites.
GEORGETOWN—Georgetown mainstay Mie N Yu (famous for its bathrooms) shuttered Monday. There's rumors floating around that New York's Dos Caminos might replace it, but nothing's too firm.
GEORGETOWN—Michel Richard branches out into the New York market with his plans for multiple concepts in the New York Palace hotel. But he also plans to get the shuttered Citronelle back open in its original location by next spring.
14TH STREET—Take a look inside the latest restaurant from the Matchbox group. The restaurant in the former Club Bali space will have floating tables and wines on tap.
SHAW—Chef Frederik de Pue (the guy who bought the old Minibar building this week) shares more details about his upcoming Table Restaurant, which will open near the Convention Center next month.
ZOMG NUTELLA—The long-awaited Nutella food truck hit the D.C. streets on Monday.

Advocates For Uber And Lyft Drivers Urge Legal Action As Coronavirus Response Saps RidershipResume
Until recently, Joel Paul had a full-time job working for a political advocacy group. Then, about a month ago, he got laid off.
"Perfect timing for coronavirus to hit," Paul said.
He hadn't bothered to file for unemployment, "because I thought, 'Oh, I'll just switch to driving Lyft.' "
But almost immediately after he started driving full-time, the flow of people around the city slowed way down as the coronavirus started to hit. First, the colleges started closing.
"It's a significant drop just to have them gone," said Paul, who spoke over video chat recently while seated behind the steering wheel of his parked car. "Then on top of that, all the bars or restaurants are closed as well. It's catastrophic for anyone who's driving Lyft or Uber full-time."
Paul said his earnings from rides around Cambridge and Boston have dropped about 30% compared to what he made during previous weeks. And, he predicted, "it's going to get worse."
As public health experts continue to preach social distancing measures like avoiding gatherings with friends, governments close schools and restaurants, and thousands of people stay home from the office, Uber and Lyft drivers are experiencing a sudden downshift in business. According to data from the market research firm Edison Trends, both companies saw spending on rides fall about 20% between the first and second weeks of March.
To make things worse, Paul worries that when he is on the road, he risks catching or spreading the coronavirus.
Still, he's got bills to pay, and if he stops driving he's not earning. So, what should he do? Stay home or get on the road?
"Aside from the public health crisis, this poses an economic crisis for drivers," said Henry De Groot, executive director of the Boston Independent Drivers Guild (BIDG). Because the companies classify drivers as independent contractors, drivers don't earn paid sick leave.
As a result, "[drivers] have to choose between their health and the health of Massachusetts, and being able to pay their mortgage, pay their rent, put food on the table," De Groot said.
Because of that, De Groot is among the driver-advocates looking to the legal system for help.
This week, BIDG sent a letter to Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy, asking her to take legal action against Uber and Lyft that would force the companies to recognize ride-hail drivers as employees who are entitled to paid sick leave. Under state law, companies with 11 or more must provide some sick time — time that may be used by employees to take care of themselves or certain family members.
"As many of the thousands of drivers in the state of Massachusetts live paycheck-to-paycheck already, the coronavirus pandemic puts drivers in an increasingly precarious position," De Groot wrote.
In response to WBUR's inquiry, the attorney general's office said that it has received the letter and is researching options for the drivers.
In recent days, Lyft and Uber have said they'll begin compensating some drivers who are affected by the coronavirus outbreak. However, their current policies only cover drivers who've tested positive for the virus or who've been placed under quarantine.
These policies do little to help drivers who believe they might be sick, but are not certain, said De Groot. Nor does it give older drivers who are at higher risk of developing severe symptoms in response to COVID-19 a reason to stay home.
"I would bet drivers have said, 'Well I can't get tested, and I don't know if I have coronavirus, but I know this bill is due next month. And I know that I need to drive to make money,'" De Groot said.
"This has been an enormous issue for years, and I'm hopping at the very least this crisis will bring that problem to light," said Shannon Liss-Riordan, a workers' rights attorney in Boston who is currently representing Massachusetts drivers in a federal class action lawsuit against Lyft and Uber. By the end of this week, Liss-Riordan said she plans to file an emergency motion asking the court to grant a preliminary injunction recognizing the drivers' right to paid sick leave.
Granting that request, however, would require the court to decide, at least temporarily, a question that Lyft and Uber have been battling against for years — whether their drivers can be classified as employees. And with economic relief packages currently churning their way through state and federal governments, it's not clear whether the attorney general or a federal judge would jump at the chance to do so.
"It's an unusual motion to file in this type of case, but these are unusual times," said Tara Swartz, an employment lawyer in Boston who is not involved in the litigation against Lyft and Uber. "In my view, it would seem to be more effective to go with that plea to the legislature and say, 'Please don't forget the gig workers, we're hurting, too.'"
But a legislative cure may not come soon enough, Liss-Riordan said. "These workers are on our front lines right now. They are out there getting people where they need to go ... they're bringing food to people's homes ... Amazon drivers are delivering Amazon packages to people who are stockpiling their pantries."
WBUR reached out to Uber and Lyft for this story. Only Lyft responded. According to a Lyft spokesperson, 90% of its drivers drive less than 20 hours per week, using Lyft to supplement their income, and 74% have other jobs in addition to driving on the Lyft platform.
Of course, judging by the stickers on many ride-hailing vehicles, plenty of drivers drive for both Uber and Lyft.
And the lack of sick pay forces people like Joel Paul, who drives full-time, to balance their bank accounts against their health.
"At this point, I'm looking at, more likely than not, that I'll just stop driving for the next few weeks," Paul said.
Without that income, he said, it'll be hard. On the upside though, he'll get to spend some quality time with his kid, who is also going to be home for a while, now that schools statewide have been temporarily closed.
