Just in time for the inauguration of the New World Order.
It will no longer be "Truth, Justice, and the American Way!" Superman, a fictional creation of comic books and movies, will renounce his U.S. citizenship to become "a citizen of the universe."
As reported by Martin Gould for NewsMax.com, April 28, 2011, citing The Blaze as its source, the superhero's renunciation is prompted by DC comics' rank cowardice, after getting criticized for joining an anti-Iranian demonstration in the landmark 900th issue of Action Comics. The Iranian government sees this as official US endorsement of the protests.
In the new issue of DC comics, Superman says he has been thinking "too small" but he now sees "the bigger picture." "I'm tired of having my actions construed as instruments of US policy. 'Truth, Justice and the American Way' — it's not enough anymore."
Superman was conceived in 1938 as the quintessential defender of American values — even though he is an alien from the planet Krypton.
The decision to renounce US citizenship is already being attacked on line.
One poster commented on Wired: "I guess we need to start checking our apple pies now to make sure they don't offend Muslims." Another wrote: "Been reading DC comics on and off for about 50 years but no more," while a third said: "I hope citizen of the universe comes with a visa to visit/work in the United States or Ole Supes is breaking the law everytime he flies into US airspace."

We spent the last couple of weeks of 2018 in the RV. First week at Blanco State Park . Fished three times for the stocked rainbow trout in the Blanco River. We did pretty good, well good enough to eat fresh fish three nites. Other than that chilled out mostly cooking outdoors at the camp. We did pick up one fine pizza for lunch to enjoy with some brewskis at the Real Ale Brewing Co. The second week we moved over to Bastrop State Park. We went over to the stocked pond at Buesher State Park on afternoon, we did not catch anything, although the wind was cold and howling we only fished for about an hour. We did get to spend New Year's Eve on a Pub Crawl at the old downtown Bastrop, mucho good time. Our Lyft driver picked us up at the campsite and returned us there happy and safe. What a great vacation, although after a couple of weeks of it, now I can't get thinking of retirement off of my mind! ......cC

THE US last night warned Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad it will respond "quickly and appropriately" after signs he launched another deadly chemical weapons attack.
A US State Department spokesperson said an investigation is underway after an apparent chlorine gas strike in northwest Syria on Sunday.
The alleged attack would be in violation of a ceasefire that has protected several million civilians in the greater Idlib area - seen by the Syrian regime as a rebel stronghold.
State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said: "Unfortunately, we continue to see signs that the Assad regime may be renewing its use of chemical weapons, including an alleged chlorine attack in northwest Syria on the morning of May 19.
"We are still gathering information on this incident, but we repeat our warning that if the Assad regime uses chemical weapons, the United States and our allies will respond quickly and appropriately."
The chilling statement added: "The regimes attacks against the communities of northwest Syria must end.
"The United States reiterates its warning, first issued by President Trump in September 2018, that an attack against the Idlib de-escalation zone would be a reckless escalation that threatens to destabilize the region."
The Trump administration has twice bombed Syria over Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons - in April 2017 and April 2018.
In September, a senior US official said there was evidence showing chemical weapons were being prepared by Syrian government forces in Idlib - the last major rebel stronghold in the country.
Cmdr Sean Robertson, a Pentagon spokesman, warned last night: "The Assad regime must not repeat the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
"There should be no doubt as to our determination to act strongly and swiftly should the Assad regime use these weapons again in the future."
The State Department statement also accused Russia and Assad's forces of "a continuing disinformation campaign" blaming others for chemical attacks.
But it added: "The facts, however, are clear.
"The Assad regime itself has conducted almost all verified chemical weapons attacks that have taken place in Syria a conclusion the United Nations has reached over and over again."
Any use of chemical weapons would be met by a very strong response, as we've done twice beforeJohn Bolton
Syria has been known to resort to chemical weapons when fighting intensifies, a US defense source said.
There was no immediate comment from the Syrian government on the US statement.
In March, Syria claimed rebels shelled the government-held town of Hama with poison gas, injuring 21.
In January, US national security adviser John Bolton warned the Syrian government against using chemical weapons again.
He said at the time: "There is absolutely no change in the US position against the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime".
Bolton added that "any use of chemical weapons would be met by a very strong response, as we've done twice before."
It comes amid mounting tension between the US and Syria's allies Iran over its nuclear capabilities.
The Trump administration has ordered a huge deployment of warships and bombers to the region.

City of Calabasas, CAHome Menu
Calabasas History
Indians, explorers, squatters, and bandits are all part of Calabasas history. The Chumash Indians led a peaceful life amidst the rolling hills, making their homes in canyons where streams and springs ensured a plentiful supply of wildlife.
Acorns from the massive old oak trees that thrive in the area formed an important part of their diet. Some of the oaks in Calabasas may be 500-700 years-old today.
Settlements of Chumash Indians named the area Calabasas, a word perhaps descended from the Indian word for "where the wild geese fly." Others think Calabasas comes from the Spanish word for pumpkin or wild gourd.
Spanish expeditions in the 1700's forever changed the Indians' way of life. The Diary of Miguel Costanso, which documents the Portola expeditions in 1769-1770, refers to encounters with the Chumash in the area. Six years later, the Juan de Anza party camped just west of Calabasas.
El Scorpion, or El Escorpion, a ranch that once occupied a large tract in the west Valley, was granted to three Indians in Calabasas in the 1830's. About 25 years later, Miguel Leonis, the Basque "King of Calabasas" acquired the ranch and 1100 acres by his marriage to Espiritu, an Indian who had inherited the property from her father.
Leonis was often in trouble with the law, hiring gunmen to expand his lands, bribing witnesses and threatening nearby settlers. He was killed in 1889 when he fell from his wagon after removing a band of squatters from his property. Squatter wars and gun fights were a bloody part of Calabasas history. "Inhabitants killed each other off so steadily that a human face is a rarity," wrote Horace Bell in his book on the old west coast.
When large ranches were divided into farms in the late 1800's, families of settlers struggled against poverty and drought. In her book, "Calabasas Girls," Catherine Mulholland brings the era to life with photographs and letters of her ancestors, the Ijams. When water and power came to Owensmouth (Canoga Park), they were happy to leave the difficult life of Calabasas pioneers.
After the turn of the century, several select spots in the Calabasas area developed into weekend respites from the city. Crater Camp in Monte Nido was opened in 1914 as a year-round picnic ground. There are few reminders of the camp today on the site of Malibu Meadows.
The Stunt family developed a homestead on the north slope of Saddle Peak, also in the Monte Nido area. A favorite spot for filming motion pictures, the scenery was ideal for Hollywood. Scenes from such films as Tarzan, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and Stalag 17 were shot in this area, today known as Malibu Creek State Park. Circa 1863, an adobe which was built near the park by a settler named Sepulveda for his wife and 12 children, is now in the process of restoration.
On the north side of Calabasas Road is L.A. Historical Cultural Monument Number One, the Leonis Adobe. When Leonis renovated it in the 1870's, he enlarged it extensively and remodeled it into a Monterey-style house. He and Espiritu made it their home. The recent history of the adobe is one of struggles to save both it and its grounds from destruction. In the 1960's, the threat of razing the adobe to build a supermarket led Kathleen Beachy to purchase the property. Today, it is a superb monument to a bygone era, with meticulously maintained furnishings and grounds, and serves as an anchor for Old Town Calabasas.
Around 1983, the Plummer House, once the oldest home in West Hollywood, was moved next to the Leonis property. As a young boy, Senor Plummer had visited his neighbors in the Leonis Adobe. The building has been beautifully restored and both the adobe and Plummer House are open for tours.
What is now the Sagebrush Cantina was originally a group of small stores built by Lester Agoure, Sr. in the early 1920's. The parking lot once was the local jail. Outside was the famous hanging tree, dead, but still standing today. It is the identifying logo of the Calabasas Chamber of Commerce.
Lack of water in the Calabasas area was always a major concern. With the founding of the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District in 1958, a water supply was assured, and the area began its development boom.
The first subdivision in Calabasas, called Park Moderne (in Mulwood near Calabasas High School), was a retreat for artists, craftsmen, and writers. It was built on land traded off as part of Sam Cooper Jr.'s homestead in 1928.
The first Calabasas high school was built in 1880 on the south side of Calabasas Road. A second school, built on the same site in 1924-1925, was a one-teacher school for the area until 1948, when it joined with Liberty, Cornell, and Las Virgenes to form the Las Virgenes Unified School District. The former Pelican's Retreat retains a small portion of the second school building.
A walk on Calabasas Road in the historic Old Town, takes one past several old buildings. The first, west of the Motion Picture Home, was originally a two-story pioneer store and dwelling owned by Charles and Alice Cooper. Called "Hunter's Inn," it provided rooms for hunters and travelers. After Charles died, his widow married Lawrence Kramer and together they operated a store until his retiring in 1968.
The next building, walking west, is a rebuilt replica of a garage built in 1921 and owned by the Daic brothers. Operated by Joseph, Charles, and Al Daic, descendants of homesteaders, it was originally a two-pump station. It became a popular movie backdrop in the early 1980's. The Daic brothers built a smaller building next door to the garage, where Gaetano's is now located. A Touch of Class was the residence of Theresa Thilmony, an early beloved school teacher.
The Leonis Plaza was at one time the site of many small buildings constructed in the 1920's. They were shops for artisans, and one was the home of the Las Virgenes Enterprise. This had formerly been a blacksmith shop belonging to Juan Menendez, the son of Espiritu.
Information on the history of Calabasas area is available at the Calabasas Library.

Fashion is not the most exact science in the world, but how you dress, your choice of clothing styles and colors, accessories, shoes and jewellery, says something about you. Some girls wouldn't be caught dead in something revealing, some wouldn't dare mix colors or patterns, and others are pedantic about matching their accessories to their outfit. A person's sense of style - an aggregate of her traits and taste - is reflected in her jewellery, too - even down to her silver earrings.
Silver or gold? Handmade silver earrings always impress, without being gaudy. They show you have confidence, and needn't make a splash to make an impression.
Good things come in small packages: If you're a girl who prefers a conservative appearance, one who tends to choose accessories that are neither loud nor overly bold, then you're apt to like silver earrings that are dainty and delicate. You prefer handmade silver earrings that rest close to the lobe, such as studs. Your body language is reserved and modest, and you convey an air of refinement. So do your all-silver stud earrings. You also love small silver earrings whose centerpiece is a pearl, or a sober but lustrous gemstone like the garnet.
Bold is beautiful: Unlike your conservative counterpart, you're the woman for whom flashy fashion accessories were invented. You love to stand out in a crowd and turn heads. Your choice in handmade silver earrings? Why gypsy silver earrings, or dangling chandelier earrings. You can also be seen with the latest geometric-style earrings, or with handmade silver earrings that sport a fascinating mix of silver, goldfill, and gemstones or crystals.
Color me pretty: What can we say about you? You, it seems, are the type who gets bored easily, the type who sees color and innovation as synonymous with fashion. No doubt you prefer handmade silver earrings that draw all eyes to yours: in particular, you favor silver earrings with a gemstone that complements your eye color. You also love to match your silver earrings to your wardrobe, and so have silver earrings with every color gemstone imaginable.
It's a match: We know you: you're a perfectionist, an orderly girl who is thorough and systematic in all her affairs. You'd never be caught with mismatched socks or a handbag that clashes with your jumper. You buy your jewellery in matching sets, and that means making sure your handmade silver earrings have a go-with: a silver bracelet, silver ring, or silver necklace with the same style gemstone. If you're into link jewellery, your silver earrings will have demure links that match the larger links of your silver bracelet; if your birthstone is the amethyst, you're sure to have at least one of each - silver earrings, silver bracelet and silver necklace - with amethysts.
Handmade silver earringsare but a fashion accessory, something to add a little spice and happiness to your life. You needn't treat every purchase of silver earrings as if it were an investment in the crown jewels. Instead, look for the items you like, and that others like on you. With handmade silver earrings as with life, it's sometimes fun to break your routine and try something a bit out of character. With so many handmade silver earrings to choose from, we've no doubt you'll find your style and special sparkle!

Yes, I've ignored you blog, but not on purpose. My wrists are killing me (tendonsis) and my writing in general has taken a nose dive in word count. Finally seeing some progress with this Astym treatment but it makes me look like I've been a punching bag for tiny fisted individuals, angry children perhaps.
Hoping that the 2 week break in Paris will be just what my wrists need so that they can heal up properly. Then I can get back in the business of abusing them like they're meant to be abused.

Eitan: "I guess. Whatever they do."
Me: "Not hang'n with you drinking a brewskie?"
Eitan: "Definitely not."
Me: "What if the parents were Rob? Would you let them hang with you?"
Eitan: "No."
Me: "What if it was Bruce Springstein? How about him?"
Eitan: "Well if it was Bruce Springstein then he could hang."
Me: "So if I were Bruce Springstein I could hang out with you guys?"
Eitan: "But you're not."
Me: "But if I were?"
Eitan: "No then."
Me: "So Rob no. Bruce Springstein yes. Unless I am Springstein."
Me: "So it's a Dad thing. "
Eitan: "If you were there I just couldn't relax. I'd be on edge all the time."
Me: "I'd be like, "Yo Eitan nice Lampard tee your wearing there.' "
Eitan: "Exactly."
Me: "Have a blast kid. Home by Midnight."

Useful Tips
Dual Roller Shades are two shades in one. A black out shade rolls down the front while a sheer or screen shade rolls down the back. This option allows you to have the view through during the day and privacy at night.
Side channel light blocking system is perfect if you don't want any light gaps. Roller shades can have gaps between the shades and the window frame allowing light to come in. Combining a room darkening roller shade with this system will block all light from entering.
Screen shades are great for sun control and perfect for outdoors and patios! They hold up great in the weather and are easy to clean. Screen shades also allow you to view through the shade. These do not provide privacy however.
The all new Sonnette Roller shade features cellular construction with the simplicity of a roller shade. The fabric has curved cells that provide energy efficiency just like cellular shades. The Sonnette is available in light filtering and room darkening fabrics in a range of colors to compliment any room.

Air Force Secretary Michael Donley told the newest group of Air Force officers who graduated from the Air Force Academy and received their commissions Wednesday that the military at large is facing a "scourge" of sexual assault and they must work to rid the military of this growing problem.
Donley's message at the Air Force Academy commencement was the continuation of the theme at the Naval Academy and West Point graduations where President Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel delivered similar messages to the newly commissioned officers.
The rise of sexual assault in the services, coming at a time when women are playing a greater role throughout the military, has spurred President Obama to address it during the Naval Academy commencement last Friday, and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to do the same a day later at West Point.
Closer to home for the Air Force Academy, three cadets were charged last year with rape or the attempted rape of two female cadets and a woman civilian.
Also, one of its graduates has faced national scrutiny. Lt. Col. Jeff Krusinski, an Air Force Academy graduate, was the officer in charge of the Air Force's sexual assault prevention and response program who is currently facing charges of sexual assault in Arlington, Va.
At the Naval Academy, a Marine major who was a former instructor is facing charges for raping a former midshipman and having a sexual relationship with another midshipman. Marine Maj. Mark Thompson's trial started on Tuesday.
At West Point, inspectors continue to investigate an Army sergeant first class for allegedly planting cameras in the showers at West Point.
A recent Pentagon survey estimated that 26,000 servicemembers were victims of sexual assault or "unwanted sexual contact" in 2012, up from 19,000 incidents in 2010. A separate DOD report last December showed that sexual assaults were a "persistent problem," in the words of former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, at all three military academies.
Donley called sexual assault in the military "a scourge" that is inconsistent with Air Force values.
"Today the character of our Air Force is being questioned by some. Our reputation is at risk from irresponsible and even criminal behavior within our ranks," he told the 1,024 graduating cadets. "It is an affront to every airman and every individual who wears the uniform, and it must not be tolerated."
He said it is not enough that the cadets have received training in how to avoid or intervene in situations that may lead to the crime of sexual assault. It's also not enough to be aware of Air Force efforts to deter it, to support victims and hold perpetrators accountable, he said.
"This is your Air Force, and changing behavior depends on changing at every level, the command climate and the social culture in which we operate and live, both on and off duty," Donley said. "Each of us is responsible for the character of this Air Force and its reputation, and I therefore charge you to serve with integrity and by your example to lead, to say and to do what is right for our Air Force."
Donley, who is leaving the job on June 21 after five years, also told the graduates that they were entering an Air Force that will be challenged by serious budget cuts, including those forced by sequestration. The cuts are undermining Air Force efforts to maintain military readiness and modernize aircraft, satellites, weapons systems and other critical equipment, Donley said.
But that's not their problem, he told them.
"You must not be distracted by the fiscal debates in Washington. Our nation's defense establishment has had to deal with strategic and budgetary uncertainty before, and Air Force leadership will again find a way to work through these issues."
It's the leadership's responsibility to make sure the country retains the best Air Force in the world, regardless of the resources provided, he said.
"It's your responsibility now to learn your jobs and be good leaders," he said.

NRPLUS MEMBER ARTICLE T he bluest state's public officials have been warning for weeks that California will be overwhelmed, given federal-government unpreparedness and the purported inefficacy of the local, state, and federal governments.
California governor Gavin Newsom has assured his state that over half of the population — or, in his words, 56 percent — will soon be infected. That is, more than 25 million coronavirus cases are on the horizon, which, at the virus's current fatality rate of 1–2 percent (the ratio of deaths to known positive cases), would mean that the state should anticipate 250,000–500,000 dead Californians in the near future. Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti predicted that this week Los Angeles would be short of all sorts of medical supplies as the epidemic killed many hundreds, as is the case in New York City.
It's been well over two months since the first certified coronavirus case in the United States, so one might expect to see early symptoms of the apocalypse recently forecast by Governor Newsom. Yet a number of California's top doctors, epidemiologists, statisticians, and biophysicists — including Stanford's John Ioannides, Michael Levitt, Eran Bendavid, and Jay Bhattacharya — have expressed some skepticism about the bleak models predicting that we are on the verge of a statewide or even national lethal pandemic of biblical proportions.
The skeptics may be right. As of this moment, California's cumulative fatalities attributed to coronavirus are somewhere over 140 deaths, in a state of 40 million. That toll is a relatively confirmable numerator (though coronavirus is not always the sole cause of death), as opposed to the widely unreliable denominator of caseloads (currently about 6,300 in the state) that are judged to be only a fraction of the population that has been tested. The Iceland study, for example, suggests that half of those who are infected show no symptoms. Currently, even with fluctuating statistics, California is suffering roughly about one death to the virus for every 250,000–300,000 of its residents.
The rate certainly will go up each hour, and no doubt in geometric fashion, as the virus spreads. Yet we should remember that California loses about 270,000 lives to all causes every year — meaning, on any given day, around 740 Californians die. So far there is no published clear evidence that in January, February, and March more Americans have died from pneumonia-related diseases than in an average year. Note too that not all deaths attributed to coronavirus are the work of COVID-19 alone; they are often accompanied by advanced age and serious chronic conditions that may have soon led to death without any accompanying viral infection.
In contrast, as of Monday morning, New York State, with about half of California's population, has about eight to nine times the number of deaths, and 20 times the per capita rate, at 60 deaths per million residents. In fact, California has a much lower per capita death rate than many of the nation's largest states; for that matter, its per capita death rate is similar to that of nations that so far have mysteriously escaped the virus's modeled wrath. Currently, California has lost fewer than 4 people per million, roughly between South Korea's 3 deaths per million and Germany's 5, which are both being studied as outliers. Of course, statistics change hourly, but for now California's data remain mysteries.
Even at this midpoint in the virus's ascendance, most believed that California would be faring far worse. And they have good reason for such pessimism. California in a normal year usually experiences the greatest number of deaths associated with the flu in the United States, and it ranks about midway among the states in flu deaths per capita. The state was hit hard by influenza unusually early in the first weeks of November, including a strain that at the time was characterized as probably not "A" but a rarer "B" — and on occasion quite virulent. A typical news story related, in early 2020, "California health officials have identified 16 outbreaks since the start of the flu season Sept. 29. Flu cases, hospitalizations and flu deaths are all higher than anticipated, according to the health department." Many Californians complained late in 2019 of getting the flu a bit early, with flu symptoms that were somewhat different from the norm, at times including severe muscle aches, some digestive cramping, an unproductive cough, and days or even weeks of post-fever fatigue.
Forty-million-person California, in normal times — that is, until around or shortly after February 1, 2020 — hosts dozens of daily direct flights from China in general to San Diego, SFO, LAX, and San Jose, and in particular, since 2014, several weekly nonstop flights from Wuhan. Of the nearly 15,000 passengers who were estimated to be arriving every day in the U.S. on flights from China in 2019 and 2020, the majority flew into California. After the ban, there were thousands of Chinese tourists who remained in California and could get neither direct nor indirect flights home to China.
Travel forecasts from China for 2020, even amid the trade war, had estimated more than 8,000 daily arrivals in California. Two years ago, Los Angeles mayor Garcetti bragged that 1.1 million Chinese tourists had visited L.A. — more than 3,000 per day. The greatest number of foreign tourists to Los Angeles are Chinese, and the city is the favorite spot in America of all visitors from China. During the months of October, November, January, and February alone — before the travel ban — perhaps nearly 1 million Chinese citizens arrived in California on direct and indirect flights originating in China.
Moreover, researchers in Italy believe that the Chinese were not telling the truth about the origins or birth dates of the virus; they argue that COVID-19 was first loose worldwide in the middle of Autumn 2019 rather than in Winter 2020. Reuters recently reported:
Adriano Decarli, an epidemiologist and medical statistics professor at the University of Milan, said there had been a "significant" increase in the number of people hospitalized for pneumonia and flu in the areas of Milan and Lodi between October and December last year. . . . He told Reuters he could not give exact figures but "hundreds" more people than usual had been taken to hospital in the last three months of 2019 in those areas — two of Lombardy's worst hit cities — with pneumonia and flu-like symptoms, and some of those had died. . . . Decarli is reviewing the hospital records and other clinical details of those cases, including people who later died at home, to try to understand whether the new coronavirus epidemic had already spread to Italy back then. . . . "We want to know if the virus was already here in Italy at the end of 2019, and — if yes — why it remained undetected for a relatively long period so that we could have a clearer picture in case we have to face a second wave of the epidemic," he said.
In a recent Oxford study, a heterodox hypothesis was offered questioning the widely circulated study of Neil Ferguson, an epidemiologist with Imperial College London. He and his team had offered a worst-case projection of as many as 2.2 million American and 510,000 British deaths. Ferguson has now emphasized the low-end estimates of death rates in some of his modeling, for example, suggesting that maybe only 20,000 in Britain may die from the virus, given how Britain has taken actions to curb and treat it. In any case, other models from the Oxford authors offer far less pessimistic hypothetical scenarios. In one, they suggest that viral infections in the U.K. might have begun almost 40 days before March 5, which was the first confirmed death there. If that is true, they argue, then to square the current figures of transmission, perhaps 68 percent of the British population would have had to be already infected by at least March 19 — reflecting a herd immunity that will radically curtail future transmission. Of course, without widespread antibody testing alongside testing for current infections, no one knows the number of past and present infections. Regardless, the Chinese notion that the world was not seriously infected until mid February increasingly seems mathematically unlikely.
In the case of California, again, unfortunately, the state still should have had many things going against it, at least in terms of susceptibility to any pandemic infection that curbs its huge tourist and commercial travel with China. The state has the nation's highest poverty rate (affecting over 20 percent of the population, or some 8 million people); the greatest number of homeless people, at somewhere over 150,000; and the most residents in the nation on some form of public assistance, one-third of the nation's total.
Over a quarter of the state's population was not born in the U.S. Until recent bans, many frequently went to and from their countries of origin. It has the largest number of non-English speakers in the U.S., suggesting that public dissemination of key information might become far more problematic.
The state is not especially healthy and rarely rates among the top ten states in terms of per capita health, by whichever metrics one uses. A decade ago, studies suggested that one in three admissions of those over 35 to California hospitals were suffering from either diabetes or pre-diabetes — a known risk factor for coronavirus patients.
California ranks near the bottom when we count the number of available hospital beds per 1,000 population, at about 1.8. Likewise, its number of active doctors per 100,000 is similarly unimpressive, about midway among state rankings, at 276 per 100,000 — versus Massachusetts's high of 450 and Mississippi's low of 191. In most surveys of nurses per 100,000 population, California ranks near last (664).
How, then, has California in the third month of known COVID-19 infections in the U.S. lost between 140 and 150 lives to it?
Again, a number of experts have offered hypotheses. Is it a question of the statistical anomaly — as some have suggested is the case for Germany, which similarly posts few total deaths from the virus — given differences in how countries and perhaps even states record the chief causation of death (i.e., are some places listing COVID-19 as the cause of death, even when the decedent suffered from underlying chronic conditions)? Is California experiencing a brief lull, in the fashion of Japan, which likewise has suffered few deaths so far but may be poised to suffer far more?
Is there a lag in ascertaining and determining deaths in a state that's geographically huge and linguistically diverse, a lapse that will shortly cease, correcting such misimpressions with a radical increase in corona-associated deaths — as is now forecast for Japan and to a lesser extent Germany?
Did California's Draconian shelter-in-place policies that antedated many of those in other states simply arrest (so far) what should have been by now a lethal epidemic?
Did California's proverbial warmer weather slow down the virus? Did its suburban ranch-home lifestyle and the large open spaces in the Central Valley, Sierra Nevada, desert and northern counties make transmissions harder than it has been in, say, the high-density living of New York City?
Maybe and maybe not.
While testing tardiness might explain outliers in terms of California's relatively small number of proven cases and lethality rates, it would not greatly affect accurate statistics of deaths attributed to the virus. If anything, as the number of known cases grows, the lower the lethality rate will likely appear.
While California adopted shelter-in-place policies on March 19, other states did the same about the same time. And visiting a California Costco on any Saturday morning is a reminder of current mob frenzies. After a near-record dry and warm January and February, the state has been unseasonably cold and wet for most of March during the epidemic's spike. True, California encompasses an enormous area, but it also is home to the country's largest population and thus still ranks about eleventh in population density among the states. Some districts in San Francisco and Los Angeles are as densely populated as East Coast cities.
One less-mentioned hypothesis is that California, as a front-line state, may have rather rapidly developed a greater level of herd immunity than other states, given that hints, anecdotes, and some official indications from both China and Italy that, again, the virus may well have been spreading abroad far earlier than the first recorded case in the U.S. —and likely from the coasts inward.
So given the state's unprecedented direct air access to China, and given its large expatriate and tourist Chinese communities, especially in its huge denser metropolitan corridors in Los Angeles and the Bay Area, it could be that what thousands of Californians experienced as an unusually "early" and "bad" flu season might have also reflected an early coronavirus epidemic, suggesting that many more Californians per capita than in other states may have acquired immunity to the virus.
Here in Fresno County (1.1 million people), we are warned daily that we are the next hot spot. But as of late March, we've had no recorded deaths and only 41 known cases. The figure will no doubt multiply rapidly and geometrically, but it still seems incomprehensible that not a single death was attributed to the virus in its first 60 days of visitation. I live near the Kings County line in rural Fresno County (which is not so rural anymore, given urban sprawl from greater Fresno). There have been two recorded cases and no deaths among the county's more than 150,000 residents.
We won't know the answers until antibody testing becomes widespread enough to determine who has already been infected, and who carried the virus without symptoms, and who wrongly attributed symptoms to the flu or a bad cold. Or epidemiologists will have to go over average daily pre-coronavirus death rates in California to determine whether, in comparison with past years, the state had any per capita spikes in deaths in October, November, December, and January, or an increase in hospitalizations attributed to the flu.
In the meantime, for a few days at least, we are left with the California paradox. As with the apparent outliers of Germany, South Korea, and Japan, it reminds us that there are endless known unknowns about the origins, lethality, infectiousness, and patterns of travel of the coronavirus — and that today's latest frightening statistical model is often superseded tomorrow by more realistic appraisals and theories, and then again rendered naïve by even more frightening new backlash models. Until now, without either widespread antibody or current-infection testing, the number of people who die from the virus in comparison to a given population base is about all we can rely on to determine the lethality of the disease. And in that regard, at least for a few days or weeks longer, California remains a mystery.

Lila Emerson was house sitting when she looked across and saw in the window a couple fighting like they had been before. Lila will be shocked to witness a woman being pushed out of the window but she will not have clear view of the person who pushed the woman. She will do what she can to help solve the case with Aston, the brother of the deceased. She will not know that doing this will be putting her life in danger.
Artist Ashton Archer has just lost his brother who was thought to have murdered his girlfriend and then killed himself. Ash knew that was not the case and would enlist the help of the key eyewitness, Lila, to help prove it wasn't his brother who murdered the woman. But by enlisting Lila's help he will be putting her life and his own in danger.
The Collector is a novel by Nora Roberts. I am an avid reader of Nora Roberts and will most always try her books as she is a good author and her books are enjoyable. I am not going to her books as much but when a book comes out that sounds interesting I willingly read the book. Now this book had its good moments with intrigue of this murder/suicide and who was the real mastermind behind it all, but other than that I didn't connect with the main characters.
Lila and Ashton were characters that came together in time of tragedy and confusion. I liked them for the most part but I couldn't believe that they were together. I get that with tragedy you bond but for some reason with how they were created to be I couldn't see it. How Roberts writes her stories you are pulled into the story but I felt that I grew a little bored with all that was happening. When the action and intrigue part was upon us the story for me grew interesting because I wanted to know the person behind it all and know the reason why they are doing it.
You are introduced to one of the villains in the book pretty quickly and they are vindictive but to know the person who is pulling the strings to this job that is what was driving me to continue the story.
I will still be back for more on Nora Roberts as there are plenty of novels to read from her that I have yet to try.

Merna H.
I came to IMAC Regeneration Center six months ago as a last resort. I was in pain 100% of the time. I couldn't walk or do normal household chores. The most difficult issue: I could no longer kneel with my family to pray during our daily devotions. After 20 years of excruciating knee pain and two scopes, the recommendation from my orthopedic doctor was total knee replacement surgery. It was not the decision I wanted to make. I wasn't ready for surgery. I wanted a better option.
I found out about IMAC's stem cell treatment protocol for knee pain from my local chiropractor. She told me she had heard people were experiencing great results with growing new cartilage and gaining mobility back with the stem cell treatments at IMAC Regeneration Centers. I wanted to give it a try. I made the decision to call IMAC and over the last six months have gone from 100% pain to living pain-free. The combination of stem cell and platelet treatments, along with carefully designed physical therapy, has given my own knee tissue the opportunity to regenerate.
I know people who have had knee replacement surgery. They lose the ability for their own knee to heal and they are in so much pain. I did not want that for myself. I feel the recovery I have experienced has given me the future I always planned. I want to walk-to be able to exercise every day and keep weight off my knees. I want to be able to kneel and pray with my family. I am determined to stick with my goals. Now I can do all of these things.
I am very happy with the care I have received at IMAC. The staff has been wonderful and supportive. I can tell everyone here truly cares about people and their health. I hope other people realize there is a better option than knee replacement surgery and give IMAC a try.

401(k) Plans
We are proud to be the force of change in the 401(k) industry. Before building our solution we asked companies to tell us all about what they liked and didn't like about their current 401(k) platform. The most common answers were:
"The fees are too high"
"Little to no employee education"
"Headaches with administration"
"Poor investment returns"
"No plan design guidance"
"Lack of fiduciary support"
In response to this feedback we built a 401(K) solution that address all of these shortfalls in the 401(k) market.

As Vasma was running from Zim and Zim's giant robot, Vasma stumbled upon an old, deactivated Irken defense turret. Without even thinking about it, Vasma grabbed the tiny turret, and took it with him. Much later after his escape, Vasma was thinking about how it could be made useful. He then strapped it to a silver colored metal ball, and used that as a design template. The result of his tinkering and experimenting, was a tiny sphere that could grow four spider like legs from one side of it, which would be it's top, and in between the four legs, a hole would appear, and from that hole would come a turret, with a camera on its left side.
These mechanical killers are remote controlled from a tablet-like device that Vasma keeps on him at all times.
The many uses of these robots.Edit
These things can be used for a small variety of tasks. These uses include (but are not limited to) Turret based traps, sneaking up to an enemy and killing them, and also spying.

Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
When Raymond Ho and Kin Lui opened their tiny 26-seat eatery in Pacific Heights in 2009, it was the first entirely sustainable sushi bar in the U.S., serving only fish available and caught using environmentally friendly methods. Others have since joined the movement, but Tataki is a standard-bearer—not just for its green credentials, but for its fresh, flavorful and inventive fare. Light, delicate arctic char often substitutes for salmon in signature "tataki" dishes such as seared and marinated char with capers in yuzu reduction, and in hand-rolls such as the 49er—masago (smelt roe) and avocado topped with char and lemon. Other fish on the extensive sushi and sashimi menus might include Atlantic mackerel, wild Thai snapper, skipjack, pole-caught albacore, and sablefish. The duo has since expanded their menu and locations with two additional restaurants that feature grilled yakitori and kushiyaki skewers and housemade ramen, in addition to sushi.

Rollie, a female gorilla in the Regenstein Center for African Apes, gave birth to a healthy baby boy this past Mother's Day (how fitting). The baby gorilla was born around 2 AM and is the 53rd birth of the Regenstein Center. Zoo staff said they have observed normal, healthy behavior from both the mother and the baby. The baby weighs about 4 to 5 pounds and has not been named yet.
Mom and dad are western lowland gorillas, an endangered species, so this birth is incredibly important. The zoo has two groups of these species. A "bachelor pad" with all the young males, and a family of females and youngsters centered around silverback, Kwan (the father).
Members only will be able to get a first look at the baby today through Friday. The center will reopen to the public on May 18th.
I can't wait to see the little guy!

It is not just Great Britain, the Netherlands and many Asian countries that are famous for their tea cultures. In the north of Germany, people are also very passionate about their traditional tea ceremony. Strict rules apply. After the steaming hot Assam or East Frisian tea has been poured into the shallowest possible cup from a beautifully shaped porcelain teapot, real tea lovers use a cream spoon to stir in very fine cream using gentle circular movements, causing little clouds to form in the tea. Any further stirring is frowned upon among connoisseurs. To allow you too to enjoy perfect afternoon tea with friends and family, Villeroy & Boch offers a selection of stylish teapots made from high-quality porcelain.
To prepare and serve rooibos, Earl Grey, herbal or fruit tea in style, fitting tea crockery is an essential requirement. As well as a stylish glass box to store the tea and an enamelled kettle, other vital items include an elegant tea set and a beautifully shaped teapot. As tea can leave traces, in terms of both staining and flavour, on materials such as unglazed pottery, high-quality porcelain is the perfect choice. Villeroy & Boch's teapots are therefore made from the very finest premium porcelain or premium bone porcelain with a smooth and even non-porous surface. To keep the aromatic brew warm, Villeroy & Boch offers decorative teapot warmers.
Villeroy & Boch's selection of porcelain teapots stands out with consummate style and attractive designs. Simple pure white versions add a note of regal elegance to your table and impress with their streamlined shapes. Teapots featuring delicate ornaments or floral patterns create a very light look and introduce a breeze of summery freshness. Whether on the breakfast table, a festive table brimming with exquisite culinary treats or at afternoon tea with your partner or best friend - Villeroy & Boch's tasteful teapots will allow you to serve your favourite hot drink in style and take tea pleasure to a whole new level.
As well as ideally complementing your own collection of high-quality porcelain, Villeroy & Boch's elegant teapots also make a perfect gift to surprise someone special on their birthday or at Christmas. Beautifully shaped items in either pure white or featuring intricate decorative effects will thrill teapot collectors and tea lovers alike. Together with matching tea cups, a teapot warmer and kettle from the same collection, a fine porcelain teapot also makes a beautiful and practical house-warming or wedding gift.

What's a little rain and cloud cover when there are reports of Orca in these waters almost every day. It is amazing to head out of the harbour in the big boat ' Ocean Magic II ' and take in a wildlife adventure, that includes birds, marine mammals, scenery and WHALES. Capt. Scott in the wheelhouse and crew members Liz and Mika were there to see that our guests would have a memorable and educational trip. We found members of the Southern Resident community of Orca, K, J and L Pod over at San Juan Island. They were tail-lobbing, and rolling on to their backs. K 20 and her youngster K 38 were seen along with ' Mike 'J 26. L 41, 'Mega ' a large male from L Pod, swam by. An enthusiastic female Orca breached much to the joy of the guests. A research vessel with 'Tucker ', the black, Orca scat sniffing dog, was following the whales. A few Harbour Porpoise and some Harbour Seals added interest to yet another great trip with Prince of Whales.

Most of the images on the blog are shot with a 400 mm telephoto lens. Because of our restrictions around wildlife (100+ meters), we use powerful lenses to better share orca activity that passengers see on their trips. Keep in mind this also heavily compresses space between objects. We also crop images for best blog viewing.

Iconic shoe designer Stuart Weitzman is known for his sumptuous style and sophisticated designs using rare and unique materials. Having designed shoes for celebrities and Oscar red carpet runways, Weitzman is also known for creating some of the world's most expensive shoes -- well eight of the top 10 anyway. The other two pairs on our list should come as no surprise. One is the world's most well known pair of shoes and the other pays homage to the famous heels that helped click a Hollywood icon home. Packed full of diamonds and rare gemstones, these shoes will dazzle your eyes and drain your wallet. For full effect, read aloud in your best Robin Leach imitation.
Stuart Weitzman Diamond Dream Stilettos
If diamonds really are a girl's best friend, these shoes must have walked right out of one of Marilyn Monroe's dreams. Created for the 2007 Oscars and the feet of "Dreamgirls" actress, Anika Noni Rose, Stuart Weitzman's Diamond Dream stilettos are delicate but scream glamour! The shoes, valued the least expensive of the famous designers Oscar creations at $500,000, are studded with 1,420 diamonds. The sandal-style stilettos feature two bands of diamond-encrusted circles at the top of each foot, inspired by the timeless circles collection from Kwiat (rhymes with "Fiat") diamonds where the 30 carats were purchased. The shoes also have a simple silver band across the toes, adding to the delicateness of these sparkly creations. You won't be able to take your eyes off of them.
Original Ruby Slippers from "The Wizard of Oz"
The famous shoes that clicked their heels and found their home at No. 9 on our list are one of three known surviving pairs. The last pair of Judy Garland's famous ruby slippers from "The Wizard of Oz" to be sold at Christie's auction house to a private owner fetched a whopping $612,000. Another pair was set for sale in late 2011 at the Icons of Hollywood Auction, but with a starting bid of $2 million they failed to receive any bids. The third pair is on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of History in Washington, D.C., where you can drool over the fancy footwear free-of-charge. A fourth pair was part of the collection at the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minn., but was stolen in a smash-and-grab heist in 2005, and has yet to be recovered.
Stuart Weitzman "Marilyn Monroe" Shoes
These elegant, nude evening shoes are adorned with a satin rose, which surrounds a cluster of shimmering Swarovski crystals. But these aren't just any Swarovski crystals -- they're a pair of earrings once owned and treasured by Marilyn Monroe. Actress Regina King wore the shoes to the 2005 Oscars, when she was nominated for her role in the movie "Ray." After the red carpet event, Weitzman replaced Marilyn's earrings with replicas and auctioned off the shoes in the Celebrity Rags 4 Charity Riches auction, where the shoes sold for $1 million.
Stuart Weitzman Retro Rose Pumps
These retro heels Weitzman designed in a 1940s style with a signature t-strap of that era are valued at $1 million. The rose ornaments on the toes are made of 100 carats of 1,800 Kwiat diamonds. Aside from the rose ornaments, there are 400 more Kwiat diamonds incorporated into the shoes themselves. These heels created quite a stir at the 2008 Oscars when Weitzman selected screenwriter Diablo Cody, nominee for best original screenplay for her movie "Juno," to wear the shoes. Cody, who won the Oscar that night, refused to wear the shoes and told reporters that being selected to wear the shoes was a "cheesy publicity stunt."
Stuart Weitzman Platinum Guild Stilettos
These gorgeous strappy stilettos were styled from platinum fabric and adorned with a whopping 464 diamonds supplied by jeweler Kwiat. The round and pear-shaped diamonds were designed to be removable so they could also be worn as jewelry. These were the first million dollar shoes to be created for an Oscar nominee to wear on the big night, and lucky "Mulholland Drive" actress Laura Harring was chosen for the honor. With a price tag of $1.09 million, you wouldn't want to be the one to step on her toes.
Stuart Weitzman Ruby Slippers
Valued at $1.6 million, these "Wizard of Oz"-inspired heels are more couture than Kansas. The sophisticated stilettos were designed with a cherry red insole, replete with a delicate upper of red satin and encrusted with an impressive 642 Burma rubies. The settings alone contain half a pound of platinum and boast a total carat count of 123.33. These dazzling delights were scheduled to make their red carpet debut in 2003, but were shelved because of the sober mood due to the war in Iraq. They came out of the closet later that year for display at Harrod's in London.
Stuart Weitzman Tanzanite Heels
These stunning shoes were a design collaboration between Weitzman and high-end jewelry designer Eddie Le Vian. The evening sandals were crafted from silver leather and topped with an ankle strap that more closely resembles a necklace worn by royalty than an ankle holster. Encrusted with 185 carats of gorgeous bright blue tanzanite gemstones and embellished with 28 carats of diamonds, the ankle strap is crowned with a dangling 16 carat tanzanite drop -- think pendant on a necklace. A delicate toe strap trimmed with tiny diamonds rounds out the design. And for a cool $2 million, they can be all yours.
Stuart Weitzman Cinderella Slippers
Inspired by the peasant-turned-princess Cinderella, these sparkly shoes were made of Italian leather. The ankle and toe straps were crafted into an intricate lacelike design created from 565 Kwiat diamonds in platinum settings. The right slipper hosts a rare, 5 carat amaretto diamond that alone is valued at more than a million dollars -- and provides the only sliver of color in the shoes. Country singer Alison Krauss was the lucky princess to wear the slippers to the 2004 Oscars. The 4-inch clear stiletto heels were designed to disappear, leaving the masses of glittering diamonds in the limelight.
Stuart Weitzman Rita Hayworth Heels
The aptly named Rita Hayworth heels were inspired by a favorite pair of earrings worn by the late actress. The open-toed heels were created from rust-colored satin (that would be called burnt sienna if it were a Crayola) and adorned with rubies, sapphires and diamonds nested in a satin ruffle at the toe. These beauties are worth a staggering $3 million, but they're not for sale -- they're owned by Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, Rita Hayworth's daughter.
Harry Winston Ruby Slippers
In 1989 Ronald Winston, son of the famous jewelry designer Harry Winston, wanted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz" in the most opulent way. After two months of tediously placing 4,600 rubies, the House of Harry Winston unveiled its own version of the famous ruby slippers from the classic film. The over-the-top shoes not only boast 1,350 carats of rubies, but also 50 carats of diamonds to really put them in a category all their own. With a price tag of $3 million, they are far more lavish than the original shoes, which were adorned only with simple red sequins. They could, however, be surpassed in value one day by a real pair of the ruby slippers.

Is there a description of this project anywhere? I took a look at the README, but it didn't really explain to concept.
@codesections There's a bit of a description at https://gitlab.com/chameleoid/telepathy/core/blob/master/readme.md, but I'm not sure it's much more clear 😅
Thanks for the link! After reading it, I get the impression that telepathy a stateless password manager similar to #lesspass (https://blog.lesspass.com/lesspass-how-it-works-dde742dd18a4). Is that generally right or am I missing something?
@codesections Huh. Wasn't aware of LessPass.
Another one that's similar is One Shall Pass (https://oneshallpass.com/) (which is the only one I know of that technically predates Telepathy)
