Here are the top stories recently covered by DocWire News in the Rheumatology section. In this edition, read about rheumatology-related conference cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the association between coffee consumption and bone mineral density, socioeconomic and racial effects on musculoskeletal conditions, and the effectiveness of surgical jackets and bouffants to prevent surgical site infections.
Several major medical meetings have seen cancellations or been switched to a virtual format in light of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, which the World Health Organization recently declared a worldwide pandemic. Two organizations that have taken this major preventative step include the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the British Society for Rheumatology (BSR). For AAOS, there are no immediate plans to reschedule the large-scale meeting; the organization said it plans to continue delivering high-quality education to its members virtually. In its statement BSR said, "We will be sending further communications to all those affected as soon as possible. This will include details of how we will showcase some of the content that would have been celebrated at the event." Other cancellations have also been observed, including the American College of Cardiology (ACC)'s ACC.20 Annual Scientific Sessions and World Congress
A new study assessed the association between coffee consumption and bone mineral density (BMD). In total, a positive correlation was determined between 12 different serum metabolites and coffee consumption. The most significant associations were observed with quinate, 3-hydroxypyridine sulfate, and trigonelline (N'-methylnicotinate). Of the 12 metabolites identified. 11 had been previously identified to be correlated with coffee intake, of which six were correlated with caffeine metabolism. Significant positive associations were observed between habitual coffee intake and BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck. A significant relationship was observed between the metabolite 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluraci (β=0.012, SE=0.005; P=0.013) and BMD at the lumbar spine; 3-hydroxyhippurate (β=0.007, SE=0.003; P=0.027) and trigonelline (β=0.007, SE=0.004; P=0.043) were significantly correlated with femoral neck BMD.
According to a new study, "There are substantial sociodemographic disparities in the use of office-based orthopaedic care and [emergency department] care for common, nonemergent musculoskeletal conditions." This was a study of 63,514 patients with musculoskeletal conditions. When adjusting for factors including age, gender, region, insurance status, income, education level, and self-reported health status, outpatient musculoskeletal care use was significantly lower among the following groups: Hispanic (odds ratio [OR]=0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72 to 0.86]; P<0.001), non-Hispanic black (OR=0.77; 95% CI, 0.70 to 0.84; P<0.001), lesser-educated (OR=0.72; 95% CI, 0.65 to 0.81; P<0.001), lower-income (OR=0.80; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.88; P<0.001), and nonprivately-insured (OR=0.85; 95% CI, 0.79 to 0.91; P<0.001). Greater use of musculoskeletal care in the emergency department was observed in the following groups: public insurance (OR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.17 to 1.44; P<0.001), lower income (OR=1.53; 95% CI, 1.28 to 1.82; P<0.001), and lesser education (OR=1.35; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.60; P=0.001).
The use of surgical jackets and bouffants was not effective in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) but increased hospital costs in a new study. Of the 34,042 inpatient operative encounters that took place during the 22-month study period, 16,380 patients (48%) were female. Among the no surgical jackets or bouffants, surgical jackets, and surgical jackets plus bouffants groups, there were no significant differences in risk of SSI (1.01% vs. 0.99% vs. 0.83%; P=0.28), mortality (1.83% vs. 2.05% vs. 1.92%; P=0.54), postoperative sepsis (6.60% vs. 6.24% vs. 6.54%; P=0.54), or wound dehiscence (1.07% vs. 0.84% vs. 1.06%; P=0.20). Over the first six months of the 2018/2018 fiscal year, the estimated annual expenditure on surgical jackets was over $300,000. Compared with surgical skull caps, bouffants were less expensive.

Deontay Wilder didn't need long to get back in the win column.
Robert Helenius was knocked out by Wilder in Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Saturday. He had been fighting for his life with an aggressive right hand.
Wilder was slow to get started, moving on the outside and Helenius following him around in the ring. Stalking Wilder ended up being a terrible idea, though.
With the round nearly at an end, Helenius got Wilder backed into the corner and tried to seize the moment, but Wilder fired a short right hand that caught Helenius clean and put him out cold, where he stayed for several minutes before finally leaving the ring under his own power.
The win moved Wilder to 43-2-1 in his career and was his first win in almost three years, as "The Bronze Bomber" lost a pair of bouts to Tyson Fury in 2020 and 2021. Wilder encouraged everyone to love one another after the fight and suggested that he fight Oleksandr Usyk, or Andy Ruiz, for his next opponent.
Check out Wilder's most recent knockout here, as well as the alternative angle down below.

Pattern Score: Four Out of 5 Stars
Issue Score: Two Out of Five
I endorse this sample with these improvements: When picking your size do not go by the sizing in the back of the pattern appear at the finished measurements for the bust, which are printed on the bodice entrance pattern piece. Pick out a sizing that presents you roughly 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 inches of relieve, (for example, I am a sizing 10, I designed this shirt in a measurement 6).
Then seem at the again of the sample if your waist is extra than two inches larger sized than the measurement you have selected, you will have to slice the pattern out on your wanted dimension, (with 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 inches of ease), at the pattern bust, and a bigger dimension, (that is detailed on the again of the pattern as no more than two inches scaled-down than your midsection), at the sample waist.
To reduce a shirt out on two diverse sizes attract a cutting a line with a a little bit inverted curve from your preferred sizing at the sample bust to your sought after dimensions at the sample waistline. It is vital to draw your new cutting line just before reducing your shirt out. I am an expert seamstress, and I even now have difficulties earning new slicing lines go just were being I want them to with out drawing them on my pattern prior to taking scissors to it. Make absolutely sure and use a pen that will not bled via your pattern and on to your content.
I advise stitching this shirt in a brocade, or a similarly thick official-searching cloth. I created this shirt as soon as in look at E, and 2 times in a revised version of perspective C.

Pause. Don't instantly follow. There is probably a better way. Ask. Look. Test. Lines are chances to prove your on-the-fly thinking prowess. Begin by not being upset about the line. If you do that, your mind will narrow to negativity. You need an expansion to fully tap your powers.
- "What do you think of the service here?"
- "Do you usually find rooms to be so noisy?"
- "Why do you want to work here?"
- "What are ten words your spouse or partner or friend would use to describe you?"
- "What's the most courageous thing you've done?"
- "If you joined and then in three to six months you were no longer here, why would that be?" (Ask the same question about five years as well, and see how the two answers differ.)
- "How did you prepare for this interview?"
- "What did you like to do as a child?"
- "Did you feel appreciated at your last job? What was the biggest way in which you did not feel appreciated?"
- "Who are our competitors?"
- "What are the open tabs on your browser right now?"
- "What have you achieved that is unusual for your peer group?"
- "What is one view held by the mainstream or as a consensus that you wholeheartedly agree with?"
- "Which of your beliefs are you least rational about?" (Or maybe better yet: "What views do you hold religiously, almost irrationally?")
- "Which of your beliefs are you most likely wrong about?"
- "How do you think this interview is going?"
- "How successful do you want to be?" (A variant is: "How ambitious are you?")
- "What would you be willing to trade to achieve your career goals?" Or "How do you think about the trade-offs that might be required to achieve your career goals?"
- "In the context of the workplace, what does the concept of 'sin' really mean? And how does it differ from a mere mistake? Can you illustrate this from the experience of one of your co-workers?"
- "In which ways might a Skype or Zoom call be more informative than a person-to-person interaction?"
- "In what ways are you not WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get]?"
- "Is this person so good that you would happily work for them?"
- "Can this person get you where you need to be way faster than any reasonable person could?"
- 'When this person disagrees with you, do you think it will be as likely you are wrong as they are wrong?"
- "How would you rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 on X? … And why is that rating the right number for you?"
- Something about revealed preferences in their past lifetime.
Lonely people tend rather to be lonely because they decline to bear the emotional costs associated with being around other humans.
Now, seeming unwatched in front of a TV camera is a genuine art. Take a look at how civilians act when a TV camera is pointed at them: they simply spaz out, or else go all rigor mortis. Even PR people and politicians are, camera-wise, civilians. And we love to laugh at how stiff and false non-professionals appear, on television. How unnatural. But if you've ever once been the object of that terrible blank rpound glass stare, you know all too well how self-consious it makes you. A haried guy with earphones and a clipboard tells you to "act natural" as your face begins to leap around on your skull, struggling got a seemingly unwatched expression that feels impossible because "stemming unwatched" is, like the "act natural" which fathered it, oxymoronic. Try driving a golf ball as someone asks yo y whether you in- or exhale on your backswing, to getting promised lavish rewards if you van avoid thinking of a rhinoceros for ten seconds, and you'll get some idea of the truly heroic contortions of body and mind that must be required for Don Johnson to act unwatched as he's watched by a lens that's an overwhkemniung emlbelm of what Emerson, years before TV, called "the gaze of millions."
is solid enough advice if it is given divorced from external outcomes. Because, yes, it will be hard to ever be internally tranquil if your social persona is critically divergent from your "true self." But out in the world, no, "being yourself" guarantees you nothing. Maybe you come across as more "authentic" or "at ease." So? That doesn't mean any external problems will be solved by you really being you. What if your "true self" sucks? Is super weird? Cares about things society ignores? Ignores markers society deeply values?
What is true here is probably true for many bits of cliche advice: if you only want to follow the wisdom because you think it will get you something, the wisdom won't prove all that wise.
Every man rebels against the idea that this is it. Fights windmills, saves damsels all in search of greater purpose…You have no greater purpose, because it is enough. -Kevin Garvey Sr
This is the single quote I return to most. In a modern existence teeming with temptation, it's the task of a lifetime avoiding perpetual dissatisfaction with the present when compared to alt-presents just barely out of reach: If only I had a coffee… If only I had a better job … If only I had planned a nice vacation … If only I had a better lover … If only I had new golf clubs… Beyond the immediate downsides of this "grass is always greener" thinking – namely, that your attention is sucked away from the here and now making full appreciation of the here and now impossible – giving in sends you on a path with no limiting principle; satisfying one desire provides (maybe) brief relief before being replaced by a new one. The promised fulfillment's emptiness is undeniably revealed, and yet you are no less likely to be duped again in the future.
But of course sometimes the grass is indeed greener. Sometimes, "when I think I'm being self-sufficient, I'm really just learning to live without the things that I need."[1] Need. Such a weak word, at least to me. I need nothing! Can survive, nay thrive, in any situation! This is a true part of my identity, but is it actually TRUE?[2] There's no scarier question. Each of us crafts an identity as a refuge in a complicated, capricious world. It's comforting to know who you are. Unfortunately, comfort is the area least likely probed for holes, which means your agreeable identity may be working against your long-term self-interest.
It's a beautiful thing about youth. There's a weightlessness that permeates everything because mo damning voices have been made, no paths committed to, and the road forking out ahead is pure, unlimited potential.
What a miracle it is to have people to come home to every day. To be loved. To be expected.
The compulsion to check the midterm results has been strong. But I see it clearly. The compulsion is not a desire to understand the world better or to appreciate the complexity of governing and lawmaking. No. It is simply a desire to check the score, to be entertained and, possibly, validated. I'm not craving deep knowledge; knowledge is hard, and few crave that which is hard. I crave what is easy. By not giving in, though, cravings subside and I can more easily allocate my time in ways my future-self will celebrate.
As I moved on from my stroke, as I went through the clinical trials, as I gritted my teeth and commanded my occasionally screaming brain to quiet itself, I was unprepared for how private and invisible all of this was and by how quickly almost everyone around me forgot what had happened to me. Stupidly, I hadn't foreseen that one of the fruits of coping reasonably well was that people didn't spot your efforts to do just that.
One was the repurposing of trauma or upset as a badge of honor, the turning of the statement "I can't believe what I'm going through" from a complaint to a boast, from "I can't believe what I'm being put through" to "I can't believe what I'm managing to get through."
It was never, ever the right time, and that's because we were being spoiled and foolish and cavalier about time itself, which is neither predictable nor elastic nor infinite. Putting off experiences often means never having them.
My philosophy is live each day the best that you can. one day my meds might be off or I wake up super stiff or it just sucks in general for whatever reason. The day will pass. Everyone – diseased or not – has days that suck.
As our physical muscles grow weaker, our emotional muscles grow stronger, and we're better at seeing the comedy in the tragedy, the advance in the setback, the good in the bad.
Is that all there is?
- Mill: "Those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness; on the happiness of others, on the improvement of mankind, even on some art or pursuit, followed not a s a means, but as itself an ideal end.
- Rule # 1 preventing midlife crisis: care about something other than yourself. If nothing matters to you but your own well-being, nothing much will make you happy.
- Instrumental value: the value something has a means to an end, like the value of making money or visiting the dentist.
- The paradox of altruism is that if nothing is important but that which has an effect on others, everything is instrumental; value is perpetually deferred and ends in nonsense since nobody can do anything of value unless it positively affects others, but that continues until there are no people left.
- W.H. Auden: "We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for, I don't know."
- Activities of practical virtue – fighting wars, engaging in politics, working for social reform – are sustained by struggle and privation. Their worth depends on the existence of problems, difficulties, needs, which these activities aim to solve. In an ideal world, there would be no use for them. That is why it would be insane to make enemies of friends in order to create the opportunity for courage in battle.
- All these values are called into question because it would be better to have a world where such actions were unnecessary
- Aristotle's answer is contemplation. "Final without qualification. Desirable in itself and never for the sake of something else." You would want to contemplate in any type of world. It is non-instrumental.
- Arthur Schopenhauer: "Work, worry, toil, and trouble are indeed the lot of almost all men their whole life long. ANd yet if every desire were satisfied as soon as it arose how would men occupy their lives, how would they pass the time." Life can't only be ameliorative.
- Existential activities – art, swimming, whatever – may respond to difficulties in life, but each can be "a source of inward joy" unconnected with struggle and imperfection; a perennial ground of happiness when "the greater evils of life shall have been removed."
The answer is always 2-5 years younger than the person actually thinks: nobody is trying to get this answer precisely correct.

Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development Minister Thoko Didiza has a tough gig: she needs to walk the tightrope between creating the optimal environment for the agricultural sector – a key sector for economic growth, employment and food security- and land reform – essential for social justice and restoring historical wrongs.
The often fraught relationship between organised agriculture and government appears to have eased under Didiza. In tough times, the agriculture sector showed growth in the second quarter of 2022 and was a major driving force in South African economy growing in the third quarter.
Land reform is one of the governing ANC's biggest failures since it came to power in 1994, and it continues at an almost indiscernible pace.

History of Milwaukee Drag: Seven Generations of Glamour
p>The queens that made Milwaukee famous
For over a century, drag has been an unstoppable force in Milwaukee nightlife. On June 7, 1884, The Only Leon brought the fine art of female impersonation to the Grand Opera Hall, launching a proud local legacy that continues today at This Is It, La Cage, Hamburger Mary's, D.I.X. and innumerable other venues.
Historians Michail Takach and BJ Daniels recognize that today's LGBTQ liberties were born from the strength, resilience, and resistance of yesterday's gender non-conforming pioneers. This is a long overdue celebration of those stories, including high-rolling hustler of the Fourth Ward Badlands Frank Blunt, over-the-top dinner theater drag superstar of the 1950s Adrian Ames, and It Kid Jamie Gays, first-ever Miss Gay Milwaukee and Latin community hero.
And many, many more.

If I got my first and second "egg" at day 16 and 17 of my cycle. When would I be expected to ovualte?? Would it be day 18-20 since you usually ovulate 24-36 hours later, correct?
No, you should be ovulating sometime between day 16-18. The egg means you are ovulating.
Hi K, that is what I thought, but someone on this post said that the egg means I am GOING to ovulate within 24-36 hours??

Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to create a thread in response to the provided promptly for the Discussion. The thread will be graded based on the depth and breadth of the discussion. In addition to the thread, the student is required to reply to 2 classmates' threads. Each reply to the student's classmates and instructor must be robust and make substantial contributions to the overall discussion. This discussion affords the student the opportunity to analyze and apply solutions to FNP professional practice. Discussion topics may pertain to the FNP professional role, business, and ethical and legal issues in FNP practice. Please see the Discussion Instructions, Prompts, and Rubrics for additional information. (MLO: A, F)
Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to develop a 30-second video recording of his/her elevator pitch or speech. The presentation should be professional and should contain a proper introduction including name and future credentials. An engaging background along with the student's display of his/her expertise and skills are required. The presentation should conclude with the student offering his/her resume or business card. The student will then reply to 2 peers. All feedback provided should be for the purpose of enhancing the elevator pitch of the student's peers. Each reply should be robust and should demonstrate a thoughtful analysis. Excellent grammar and syntax are required along with 2 professional references (aside from the course textbook).
The student's School of Nursing handbook provides essential information for the successful completion of the student's program requirements. This quiz will take the student to the link for his/her program handbook, and the student will be asked to agree to the School of Nursing Handbook Acknowledgement.

Note: Failure to maintain a signed Practicum Tracking Record verifying practicum hours will result in an Incomplete for the Practicum Course and the student will not be permitted to progress to the subsequent Practicum Course. The signed Practicum Tracking Record is submitted to the submission link.
Submission of a practicum log for each patient encounter into the InPlace system is a mandatory expectation of the practicum experience. The student is responsible for maintaining his or her own practicum experience logs. All patient encounters, whether seen independently, in collaboration with a preceptor, or as observation, require an entry into InPlace. Every entry will include demographic information for each patient. Patient encounters will be entered as clinical summaries. Data must be entered within one week of the clinical experience. (MLO: A, B, C, D, E, F, G)
The Practicum Objective Assignments afford the student the opportunity to develop measurable practicum learning objectives that are consistent with the practicum focus. The purpose of Practicum Objectives is to guide the practicum experience and professional development as the student matriculates through the FNP Practicum experiences. The student will formulate learning objectives related to the practicum course and will incorporate the course objectives/competencies. The practicum learning objectives must meet the learning outcomes of the practicum course, the Liberty University Doctor of Nursing Program, and be consistent with DNP Essentials (AACN, 2006) and Family Nurse Practitioner Competencies (NONPF, 2017).

The Portfolios can be used to provide FNP students an avenue to present their knowledge, expertise, and experience when seeking employment or professional opportunities, providing evidence for regulatory bodies and for identification of areas for personal or professional growth. Portfolios may present information through text, video, electronic files, hyperlinks, images, and other online resources. Each student will develop a professional portfolio as part of the professional development. For the Post-BSN to FNP/DNP student, the first part of portfolio development will take place in this course. Please see the InPlace Portfolio Rubric in NURS 838 Course. (MLO: A, B, C, D, E, F, G)
Each quiz contains 1 file upload and 1 true/false question, is limited to 30 minutes, and allows unlimited attempts, with the highest attempt counting towards the grade.

Wilton's Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County will offer two, 8-week bereavement support groups this fall to help people coping with loss–one for parents who have lost a child, and one for men.
Bereavement support groups are held at the Visiting Nurses offices in Suite 114 at the Health and Wellness Center at I-Park, at 761 Main Ave./Rte. 7 on the Norwalk/Wilton town line. Support groups are free-of-charge and open to the public but pre-registration is required.
Bereavement Support for Grieving Parents
The death of a child is the most dreadful experience a parent can face. Grieving parents may question whether life will ever hold meaning for them again and wonder how they will survive the anguish of their loss. They often blame themselves or they may be angry with their spouse, a physician, or God.
This 8-week bereavement support group helps parents cope with loss following the death of a child. It will meet weekly on Thursday afternoons, 2:30-4 p.m., beginning Sept. 28 and continuing through Nov. 16.
"Bereaved parents often experience more anger, depression, guilt and physical symptoms than those grieving other kinds of losses," said Laurie Petrasanta, MS, BSW of Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County. "Parents frequently feel traumatized and isolated in their grief and it is essential for them to talk with other people who understand the devastating nature of their loss and can empathize. This support group will offer bereaved parents a safe place to talk about their child and their loss as well as their fears, anxieties and other feelings. Parents will learn from the shared experiences of others who have suffered a similar loss."
For more information, or to pre-register for the bereavement support group for parents, call Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County at 203.834.6341, ext. 316.
Bereavement Support for Grieving Men
This 8-week bereavement support group helps men cope with grief following the death of a loved one. The group will meet in Wilton on Saturday afternoons, 12 noon-1:30 p.m., beginning Oct. 14 and continuing through Dec. 2.
"Grief is an inevitable part of life but for men it can be a profoundly isolating and lonely experience," said Bonnie Verses, a grief and bereavement counselor with Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County. "Men's grief is often invisible and misunderstood," she continued. "Bereavement can be a time of fluctuating feelings that alternate between deep sadness and hope for the future. This emotional fluctuation can be something that men experience as frustrating. The bereavement support group will help men gain a deeper understanding of their unique experience of loss and begin the process of healing."
For more information, or to pre-register for the bereavement support group for men, call Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County at 203.834.6341, ext. 255.
A non-profit community organization for more than 100 years, Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County provides professional nursing and support services, senior care management, physical rehabilitation, health education, community wellness programs and compassionate hospice and palliative care for children and adults in Wilton and throughout Fairfield County. The agency is a preferred provider of home health care and hospice services for the Western Connecticut Health Network. Visit them at online or follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

The Trail of Joe's Tigers: Following the Journey from Captivity to Freedom
For many years, Joe Exotic, the infamous owner of the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, kept a collection of tigers and other exotic animals for public display. This collection of animals became his cash cow and source of notoriety, attracting thousands of visitors each year. But in 2019, Joe was convicted on numerous counts, including trafficking endangered species and hiring a hitman to kill a rival. As a result, his animals were left to find a new home, and thus began the trail of Joe's tigers from their captivity to freedom.
The Journey Begins
The first step of the journey began after a legal battle between the federal government and a group of animal activists led by Carole Baskin, the founder of Big Cat Rescue. It was decided that the animals would be transferred to various accredited animal sanctuaries across the United States. The successful operation was carried out by animal welfare organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Wild Animal Sanctuary, and Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.
Sanctuaries that Took in Joe's Tigers
One of the sanctuaries that took in several of Joe's tigers is the Tiger King Park. This park, situated in Thackerville, Oklahoma is owned and operated by Jeff Lowe, Joe's former business associate. Though the park has been criticized for its handling of the animals, some of Joe's tigers appear to be in good shape at the sanctuary.
Another organization that took in some of the tigers is the Wild Animal Sanctuary. This Colorado-based sanctuary is one of the largest in the world, and it specializes in rescuing big cats and other large carnivores that are kept in captivity. The Wild Animal Sanctuary boasts over 10,000 acres of land, which houses thousands of rescued animals, including some of Joe's former tigers. After arriving at the sanctuary, the tigers underwent an extensive rehabilitation process, which included regular veterinary check-ups and adapted feeding schedules.
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is another sanctuary that successfully took in some of Joe's tigers. The staff at Turpentine Creek worked diligently to provide the animals with a comfortable and secure environment, where they could live out the rest of their lives. The sanctuary has been praised for its ethical and humane treatment of animals, and it is a testament to the power of grassroots conservation efforts.
Re-acclimation to Life in the Wild
One of the most successful aspects of the trail of Joe's tigers has been their re-acclimation to life in the wild. Big Cat Rescue, led by Carole Baskin, has been instrumental in this process, providing the necessary resources and training for tigers to re-establish their natural behaviors. Their program, called the "Bobcat Rehab and Release Program," has been instrumental in releasing bobcats back into the wild. Though bobcats and tigers are not the same animals, the program has provided a framework for reintroducing animals into their natural habitats.
A Reminder of the Importance of Animal Welfare and Conservation
Overall, the trail of Joe's tigers has been a powerful reminder of the importance of animal welfare and conservation. The animals have endured a long and difficult road from captivity to freedom, and their story highlights the need for action to protect species under threat. The involvement of animal sanctuaries and welfare organizations has served as a beacon of hope, and they continue to advocate for the ethical treatment of animals in captivity.
Moving forward, it is important for lawmakers to take action to protect endangered species and to prevent the exploitation of animals in situations like Joe's. Through continued conservation efforts and proper regulations, we can ensure that animals enjoy the freedom and dignity they deserve. The trail of Joe's tigers serves as a reminder of our accountability to these creatures and the critical part we play in their survival.

An American businessman whose promotion of a black-box safety device for cars was supported by senator Donie Cassidy has left the Four Seasons hotel in Ballsbridge without settling a €100,000 bill.
Last week, Tony Geller, manager of the European Safety Data Vault (ESDV) project, checked out of his luxury suite in the 5-star hotel from which he had been running the company. He did not settle his bill nor leave a forwarding address.
Buahahahaha, ovo je bre igrac, a ne ovi nasi pilicari sto zickaju par 'iljada sa skupstinske blagajne za "putne troskove" :)))
Jeff, one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever.

Legislate cautiously
The answer to the short-term lending problem is not to legislate payday lenders out of business, but rather to educate consumers.
Legislation approved by the Ohio House earlier this week would close loopholes in the law and essentially shut down what one industry critic called "the crack cocaine of the financial institutions."
We think the industry needs regulated, but not by such Draconian measures. Charging exorbitant interest rates on short-term loans is not in consumers' best interest, but neither is removing what is often the sole source of funds for people of reduced means.
Many of these short-term loans allow working-class Ohioans to survive from one paycheck to the next, and while a triple-digit interest rate sounds painful, often the amounts borrowed are small, and the funds paid back quickly.
Education plays a part by demonstrating to consumers how a regular diet of payday loans has the same effect on lenders that a poor diet has on nutrition. Eating all the wrong foods makes one fat; gorging regularly on short-term loans fattens the wallets of lenders, but leaves little of substance for borrowers.
When support for such institutions is as enthusiastic as a recent Review story indicates, the Legislature needs to think twice before removing it. Instead, lawmakers should make other means of short-term support available, while teaching the public that high-interest loans only perpetuate the cycle of poverty.

By MORGAN WINSOR, EMILY SHAPIRO, ERIN SCHUMAKER and IVAN PEREIRA, ABC News(NEW YORK) — A pandemic of the novel coronavirus has now infected more than 73.9 million people and killed over 1.6 million worldwide, according to real-time data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.Here's how the news is developing Thursday. All times Eastern:
Dec 17, 9:23 amTokyo raises alert to highest after record rise in casesTokyo raised its alert for medical preparedness to the highest level on Thursday for the first time, as hospital beds across Japan's bustling capital fill up with COVID-19 patients.Following a coronavirus committee meeting, Tokyo officials raised the alert level to "red" and warned that the city's health care system was on the verge of crisis.The move comes after 822 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Tokyo on Wednesday, the highest single-day count the city has recorded since the start of the pandemic.Wednesday's tally shatters Tokyo's previous record of 678 new cases confirmed a day earlier, according to data released by the Tokyo metropolitan government.
Dec 17, 8:52 amEuropean leaders go into quarantine after French president tests positiveSeveral European leaders announced Thursday that they are going into quarantine after French President Emmanuel Macron tested positive for COVID-19.Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa, who had lunch with Macron at the French presidential palace in Paris on Wednesday, said he is self-isolating as a preventative measure and canceling any events that require his physical presence. Costa said he also took a COVID-19 test on Thursday morning as was originally planned ahead of his now-canceled trip to Africa.Spanish President Pedro Sanchez, who had lunch with Macron in Paris on Monday, said he will suspend all his activities and quarantine until Dec. 24Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, who met with Macron in Brussels last week, said he will get tested Thursday and then self-isolate while he awaits the result.Dec 17, 8:51 am885,000 US workers filed jobless claims last week Some 885,000 workers filed for unemployment insurance last week, the U.S. Department of Labor said Thursday, as the pandemic continues to upend the labor market.This is an uptick of 23,000 from the previous week's figure.More than 20 million people are still receiving some form of unemployment benefits through all programs as of the week ending Nov. 28, the DOL said. For the comparable week in 2019, that figure was 1.8 million.The latest economic data comes as COVID-19 cases continue to climb across the country. The United States on Wednesday hit a record high of 247,403 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 3,656 additional deaths from the disease.The latest tally of weekly unemployment claims also comes as lawmakers have struggled to reach a deal on new relief. On Wednesday, after months of stalled negotiations, a source told ABC News that congressional leaders were close to reaching a deal that could include enhanced federal unemployment benefits.The national unemployment rate in the U.S. was 6.7% last month, according to the DOL's most-recent jobs report. In February, prior to the pandemic, the unemployment rate was 3.5%.
Dec 17, 7:41 amTexas woman dies from COVID-19 just two months after giving birthJennifer Mendoza, of Grapevine, Texas, gave birth to her fourth child in October.A few days after coming home from the hospital with her healthy baby girl, Mendoza developed breathing problems.Mendoza returned to the emergency room and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19. She never went home.Mendoza died on Dec. 3, her 34th birthday, according to a report by Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA-TV. She is survived by her husband and four young children."Her kids were everything," Mendoza's brother, David Mendoza, told WFAA in a recent interview. "To her last minute, she still kept fighting for them.""I'm going to tell them every day for the rest of their lives that their mother was the most beautiful person on this earth," he added, "the most compassionate and the most big-hearted."
Dec 17, 7:17 amUS on track to get 2nd vaccine as FDA panel reviews Moderna dataThe United States is on the cusp of a second vaccine for COVID-19, with a key Food and Drug Administration panel set to review data Thursday from Moderna that suggests its two-dose vaccine is safe and 94% effective.An endorsement from the independent federal advisers would pave the way for an official green light by the FDA to begin distributing next week some 5.9 million Moderna doses to the nation's front-line health care workers and nursing home residents. An internal assessment by the FDA already found that the Moderna data show the benefits likely outweigh the risks.The Moderna batch would be in addition to the 6.4 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine that started to roll out this week after being the first to get emergency-use authorization.One primary difference is that the Modern vaccine requires fewer specific handling instructions because it does not need ultra-cold storage conditions like the Pfizer/BioNTech one.Moderna also is seeking authorization to use its vaccine on people ages 18 and older, whereas Pfizer's enrollment of older teens in clinical trials this fall paved the way for authorization of anyone 16 and older.
Dec 17, 6:35 amFrench president's wife is self-isolating but has no symptomsBrigitte Macron, the 67-year-old wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, is self-isolating and will be tested for COVID-19 soon, although she is not showing any symptoms, her office said in a statement Thursday.France's presidential palace had announced earlier that Emmanuel Macron, 42, tested positive for COVID-19 and is self-isolating."Brigitte Macron is a contact case and has no symptoms of the disease," her office said. "She also tested negative for Covid-19 on Tuesday, December 15, before making a visit to a pediatric ward at Saint-Louis Hospital in Paris. She has placed herself in isolation and will continue her work by videoconference. She will be tested very soon as a precaution."
Dec 17, 6:09 amAlaska health care worker suffers 'serious' allergic reaction to Pfizer/BioNTech vaccineAn Alaska health care worker was hospitalized Wednesday, shortly after receiving the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.The unnamed staff member at Bartlett Regional Hospital in Juneau, Alaska, "showed signs of an anaphylactic reaction" 10 minutes after inoculation, "with increased heartbeat, shortness of breath and skin rash and redness," according to a press release."She was given epinephrine and Benadryl, admitted to the hospital, and put on an intravenous epinephrine drip," Bartlett Regional Hospital said in a statement Wednesday night. "Her reaction was serious but not life threatening."The staff member, who had no known previous allergies or adverse reactions to vaccines, "is recovering and will remain another night in the hospital under observation," according to the press release."She is still encouraging her colleagues to get the vaccine," the hospital said.It's the first known adverse allergic reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine developed by U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech, which was granted emergency-use authorization in the United States last Friday.A second staff member at Bartlett Regional Hospital "experienced eye puffiness, light headedness, and scratchy throat" 10 minutes after being injected with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on Wednesday, according to the press release."His reaction was not considered anaphylaxis," Bartlett Regional Hospital said in the statement Wednesday night. "He was taken to the Emergency Department and administered epinephrine, Pepcid and Benadryl. He felt completely back to normal within an hour and was released.""He too does not want his experience to have a negative impact on his colleagues lining up for the vaccine," the hospital added.Both incidents were reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which Bartlett Regional Hospital said "is providing guidance and support." The symptoms in each case were discovered during the 15-minute observation period after inoculation recommended by the CDC."We were expecting these things and we had all the right systems in place," Charlee Gribbon, an infection control practitioner at Bartlett Regional Hospital, who is overseeing a mass operation to vaccinate as many staff as possible, said in a statement Wednesday night.Alaska's Chief Medical Officer Anne Zink said there are "no plans to change our vaccine schedule, dosing or regimen."

By May 20, all U.S. states had begun lifting stay-at-home orders and other restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. The day-to-day increase in the country's cases then hovered around 20,000 for a couple of weeks before shooting back up over the summer.The numbers lingered around 40,000 to 50,000 from mid-August through early October before surging again to record levels, crossing 100,000 for the first time on Nov. 4 and reaching 200,000 for the first time on Nov. 27.
