Fraunces Tavern is the oldest building in New York City. Nestled near Wall Street, its famous as the place where George Washington bid farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolutionary War.
One recent weekend it was the destination for my son and I, part of a field trip for his social studies class. Eighth graders were required to visit one of a number of Revolutionary War sites.
There were a lot of options, including a remarkably intact farmhouse from 1785 that is surrounded by apartment buildings, the "Grange", a lovely country manor built by Alexander Hamilton and the Morris-Jumel mansion where Aaron Burr lived after he shot Hamilton .
Field trips are amazing in New York City. My kids have been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see ancient Chinese calligraphy, the Museum of Modern Art to see Picasso, Carnegie Hall for concerts and the New York City Ballet to see the Nutcracker (a dress rehearsal).
The Moma let kids in before hours, a unique opportunity to stroll empty galleries. Parent chaperons were more excited than the children as we passed paintings by Rousseau, Magritte, Hopper, Dali, Gaugin, Kahlo and Wyeth. After the tour, the kids were escorted to a room to draw. The kids had no idea how amazing it was.
My friend Heather chaperoned a trip to the Met once. A gaggle of tourists asked her what was going on. She couldn't suppress a self-satisfied smile when she answered, "It's a school field trip."
I found Fraunces Tavern overwhelming. You are standing in the room where the Father of the country made history when he decided to resign his commission. Many had urged him to seize power.
The next thing that strikes you is that there is no one there. The place is literally empty. My son asks me why. It's hard to explain why fake places like Madame Tussaud's wax museum on 42nd street are mobbed and this isn't.
You notice things on field trips you wouldn't otherwise. My son points out that Washington made his famous speech in the large, but common area that doubled as a dining room and sleeping quarters. The fancy dining space for gentlemen is across the hall.
Reading the plaques, we learn Fraunces, the owner, was a patriot who was captured during the war and forced to serve as a cook for a British general. It was probably a bad idea, as he ended up spying for the Americans.
We also learn that his arrest caused no interruption in business. Ever the practical New Yorker, Fraunces arranged to keep the tavern running during the British occupation by having his son-in-law, a loyalist, manage it.
The tavern was blown up twice. Once in 1775 by a British gunboat. And two hundred years later, in 1975, when it was the site of a terrorist attack by Puerto Rican nationalists. The attack killed four people and injured 53.
Standing in the empty museum it seems hard to imagine now that anyone anywhere, much less in Puerto Rico, which is currently seeking a federal government bailout, cared so much about the place.

In part 2 of our interview with OOD Director Kevin Miller, he describes the reaction of the consumers – Ohioans with disabilities – to the pandemic. One day they are making progress toward their goal of a job – a career – and the next they are sidelined by a virus spreading all over Ohio, the country, and the world.
In this discussion, Director Miller talks about how every link in the chain — the employers, the providers, the OOD professionals, and the consumers, had to come together and adapt in order to keep moving forward.

🔹To provide a safe space to discuss issues of d&i within the Drupal community.
🔹To provide support for people who are marginalized in technology
🔹To provide strategies for increasing d&i of communities and organizations
🔹To share resources/education about social justice issues in our technological communities - d&i, equality, inclusion, accessibility, etc.
All of our work happens in the open in our Drupal.org project repositories (Diversity: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/diversity or DDI Contrib: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/ddi_contrib), it's available to be worked on. We love to see people in the issue queues, and welcome people jumping in wherever they feel comfortable. Our weekly meetings happen in the Drupal slack - we post meeting agendas and summaries on the issue queue.
DD&I believes that the Drupal community should be a safe, respectful and inclusive space for all participants. We believe that the Drupal project benefits from a diverse contribution pool and we strive to foster a welcoming and inclusive culture everywhere Drupal exists - at events, online, and in our workplaces.

The social media giant, Facebook has been planning to integrate its messaging applications, and now it seems that the company is testing new features to integrate Messenger with Instagram. The new functionality will enable you to view your Messenger messages in your Instagram DM.
Alessandro Paluzzi posted a screenshot displaying which highlights that Instagram is testing something new. The new feature will allow users to receive their Messenger messages on Instagram. The option says that 'Get Messenger on Instagram.' The company has also confirmed the test in tweet. However, Instagram stated that the new feature is currently not ready for public use. Instagram tweeted that the option is currently an early prototype and the company is not testing the feature externally.
The new functionality is part of the company's broader plan to enable complete cross-messaging functionality across Facebook's messaging apps namely WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. This means that when Facebook will be able to enable full cross-messaging functionality across its family of apps, you will ultimately be able to send and receive text messages to and from any of these Facebook's messaging services. This also indicates that the inbox will be required to be replicated within each Facebook's application.
This is an important undertaking for the company to undertake. However, the ultimate result will be that whenever users will receive a message in any Facebook's messaging service, that message will also be available on the other two messaging apps. With that being said, users can also expect that if Facebook introduces a new feature on any messaging app, the other two platforms will also receive the messaging feature soon.
The company has not made any noise related to this project, however, the new test confirms that Facebook's integration plan is still in progress and the company is making efforts to connect its messaging platforms.
Additionally, it was also seen that Facebook is testing another feature- a new Plans sticker with some Instagram users. FDT, a marketing consultant posted some screenshots displaying the new sticker type called 'Plans' sticker. The new sticker enables you to schedule online meet-ups. The Plans sticker may also link to Facebook's Rooms offering.
When a user adds the new Plans sticker, the user will be provided an option to include a date and info on your Instagram Stories viewers will be able to join the online meet-up. Those users who view your Instagram Stories can also see who else (among their friends on Instagram) has shown interest in the online meet-up.
The new option will also be good for webinars or product announcements. There are a lot of ways you can use the new Plans sticker to help promote various sorts of online meet-ups. There is not a lot of contexts available about the new option, however, we can say that the new option will be rolling out to US users as FDT is based in the United States. Although these new functionalities are not major, the new options still offer new considerations as well as opportunities. The messaging will become convenient across Facebook's family of applications, and online meet-ups are also gaining momentum during the coronavirus lockdowns.

Peter Weber has narrowed his cast of eligible Bachelorettes from 30 down to four, and on Monday's episode we'll see Peter meet the families of the four women he believes could potentially be his wife during hometown dates.
Peter's season has been incredibly chaotic, and while there's one clear favorite remaining on the cast, it's easy to imagine all of his relationships ending in heartbreak. According to a recent rumor sweeping Bachelor Nation, though, the wildest twists are yet to come.
Last week, Reddit user Krallie posted a fairly convincing argument that Peter spurns his actual cast members and ends up with Bachelor producer Julie LaPlaca, and Bachelor fans are running with the theory.
Via Reddit user Krallie:
"I feel 98% confident that Peter winds up with the producer, Julie LaPlaca. A friend brought it up to me earlier and I just went down a rabbit hole investigating. I'm super on board with this theory for the below reasons:
They spent New Years Eve together, with his family. (Check her tagged pics, there's a pic from his dad with her and their family at dinner.)"
(LaPlaca is seated to Peter's right.)
LaPlaca also worked on Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette, so she and Peter would have a history, and it's likely that they spend a lot of time with each other during filming. As we see on the show at times, one role of the producer is to console the star of the season and the cast members, so it's entirely plausible that Peter could have developed feelings for a show staff member. The narrative also fits at this point in the show, as Krallie points out.
"On the previews he says he's "crazy in love with her". We are down to 6 (I think?) girls and and he doesn't even seem a little bit in love with any of them yet. Not crazy since they don't get a ton of time together, but he gets tons of time with his producer… My guess is that she leaves because she doesn't want to see him get engaged to someone else, and he winds up going after HER."
We know from the season and episode previews that Bachelor host Chris Harrison will drop a bomb on Peter late in the season, potentially on the day that he plans to propose. Harrison tells Peter there's something he should know that Harrison "just found out." Fans speculated at the start of the season that Harrison's revelation could be Hannah B.-related, but Krallie's suggestion that Harrison tells Peter about a producer leaving is believable.
By far my favorite justification, though, is this:
"Yet another tagged photo shows her in a Seahawks hat."
Peter is a Seahawks fan. She wore a Seahawks hat. It must be true!
Still, a quick review of Peter's remaining relationships shows that his best option might be to pursue another option.
- Madison: The clear favorite, but Peter may not be able to abide her ultimatum over having sex with other contestants.
- Hannah Ann: Peter doesn't seem entirely convinced that Hannah Ann, 22, is ready for marriage
- Kelsey: Probably should have been eliminated weeks ago
- Victoria F: Doesn't seem to like Peter all that much, and the hometown date preview signaled the end of their relationship.
The rumor has gained so much momentum that ABC executive Robert Mills publicly addressed it, and did not "confirm or deny" the theory.
Via People:
"Well, I hate to get in the way of a good rumor, so I'm not going to confirm or deny about whether he ends up with a producer! I don't know how we'd ever top that though! But, it is crazy."
If the producer theory turns out to be true, it wouldn't be the first time a crew member gets romantically involved in a season starring a pilot. During Jake Pavelka's season of The Bachelor, contestant Rozlyn Papa was disqualified from the show for engaging in an "inappropriate relationship" with someone working on the show.

Ask any senior manager at a small to medium sized business and they will invariably confess that the hardest part of the job is finding time to manage.
So often the all-important creative elements of management are forced to take a back seat as managers grapple with the increasingly onerous day-to-day administrative tasks involved with keeping the business afloat.
More and more SME's are choosing to outsource some, or all of their back office function to third parties, freeing up their top management talent to focus on the nuts and bolts of the business.
For some managers it can be a considerable leap of faith to go down the outsourcing route and place their trust in a third party. That's where our highly skilled, professional and approachable team at Sentient comes in.
We have been providing back office support services to companies, both locally and internationally, for over 30 years. At Sentient we can provide a truly bespoke service whatever the level of support you require, with a simple to understand transparent fees structure.
Services include:
A full suite of bookkeeping & accountancy services, including keeping records of receipts and payments, preparation of management accounts, financial statements, bank reconciliations – we can demonstrate the financial position of your business at any given time, enabling you to make better informed decisions through relevant and efficient statistical information.
VAT is a complex and onerous tax regime which affects all types of businesses. Due to the scope of complexity of VAT, it is important to obtain the appropriate professional support that is vital to ensure correct compliance. For some corporate entities, particularly those trading across Europe, VAT can be very time consuming and heavily administrative. We can provide assistance with VAT registration as well as ongoing administration and compliance.
We act as Tax Agent on many of our Clients' companies, taking on the responsibility for the timely preparation and submission of their Company's tax returns to ensure that they remain compliant with local regulations and reporting requirements, therefore meeting any tax obligations.
Payroll is a key function of any business, which should be a relatively straight forward process. However, payroll can soon grow into an overcomplicated and seemingly endless task which can be expensive and affected by various laws and regulations. We offer a practical and cost effective payroll solution, irrespective of the size of your business and our dedicated payroll team offer a fully managed payroll service, which is compliant, confidential and delivered timely and in a professional manner.
Provided by a team of multi-disciplined staff who are committed to providing the highest level of customer care and work to ensure that the services they provide are delivered professionally, reliably and with complete integrity.

Hi Clive It depends on what your current health/fitness goals are.
If your goal is to live a healthy lifestyle while maintaining lean muscle or performing well in your sport then yes, if you follow a healthy diet during the rest of the week, a cheat meal (or treat meal as we prefer to call it) can definitely find its place once a week. This will have both psychological and physiological benefits. It will keep one motivated to eat healthy during the week, that way
If on the other hand one's goal is to shred down for a physique competition or photoshoot one needs to be careful on how often to take a treat meal, in line with the overall plan.

Mariah is a spunky, 12-year young entrepreneur who is full of joy. According to her dad, Brandon Green, she is one of the most fun-loving, family-oriented, gracious, humble, humorous and well-rounded kids you could ever imagine. Her dream of becoming an engineer one day is preceded by her athletic and academic accomplishments! Gymnastics has been Mariah's passion since she was a toddler. At such a tender age it brought so much joy to her heart that it led to her Olympic journey. Currently ranked in Southern California as the all-around silver medalist, Mariah's 2019 gymnastic goals (but not her dreams) were brought to a temporary halt due to the current pandemic. As the world continues to go through these trying times, rather than sit around and wait, Mariah was inspired to spread some love and joy by jumping in another way. She has created a start-up business from another passion of hers—the natural world. Because our country needs solidarity versus division now more than ever, Mariah cleverly decided to put plant life and affirmations together in a way to inspire and support social justice in a peaceful manner. In case visitors to this website ask, "Why plants?" Mariah is quick to respond, "I chose plants because they are from the earth and they live forever." Affirmations are our internal source of light and when connected together it's "The gift that keeps on living."
We thank you all so much for love & support.
Below are a list of Mariah's Gymnastic accolades so far:
2018 AOGC (4) Spring Invite AA Champion
2018 AOGC (4) Spring Invite Bar Champion
2018 AOGC (4) Spring Invite vault Champion
2018 AOGC (4) Spring Invite Floor Champion & Beam Bronze medalist
2017 So California East Sectional Championships 10thAA
2017 So California East Sectional Floor Bronze medalist
2017 Pasadena Classic Vault Bronze medalist

Lipid metabolism is often elevated in cancer cells and plays an important role in their growth and malignancy. Acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS), which converts long-chain fatty acids to acyl-CoA, is overexpressed in various types of cancer. However, the role of ACS in cancer remains unknown. Here, we found that ACS enzyme activity is required for cancer cell survival. Namely, the ACS inhibitor Triacsin c induced massive apoptosis in glioma cells while this cell death was completely suppressed by overexpression of ACSL5, the Triacsin c-resistant ACS isozyme, but not by overexpression of a catalytically inactive ACSL5 mutant. ACS inhibition by Triacsin c markedly potentiated the Bax-induced intrinsic apoptotic pathway by promoting cytochrome c release and subsequent caspase activation. These effects were abrogated by ACSL5 overexpression. Correspondingly, ACS inhibition synergistically potentiated the glioma cell death induced by etoposide, a well-known activator of apoptosis. Furthermore, in a nude mouse xenograft model, Triacsin c at a non-toxic dose enhanced the antitumor efficacy of a low-dose chemotherapy with etoposide. These results indicate that ACS is an apoptosis suppressor and that ACS inhibition could be a rational strategy to amplify the antitumor effect of etoposide.

1. Note Claire Messud's epigraphs for the novel—quotes from some very persuasive, and very powerful, male writers. How do these words set up expectations for the reader? How do these choices look to you upon finishing The Woman Upstairs? And what about the other male writers (such as Dostoyevsky and Chekhov) whose work is alluded to in Messud's text? Do they reveal anything about the author's own understanding of Nora's reliability, sense of self and potential literary legacy?
2. Nora introduces herself by saying: "My name is Nora Marie Eldridge and I'm forty-two years old. . . . Until last summer, I taught third grade at Appleton Elementary School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and maybe I'll go back and do it again, I just don't know. Maybe, instead, I'll set the world on fire. I just might" (p. 5). Which choice seems more likely for Nora? How might she set the world on fire? Is the book itself an act of revenge?
3. At the beginning of the novel, Nora says: "I've finally come to understand that life itself is the Fun House. All you want is that door marked EXIT, the escape to a place where Real Life will be; and you can never find it" [p. 4]. Why does Nora feel that life is a Fun House? What does the Fun House represent for her? Why does she feel it's impossible to escape? Why is Nora so drawn to each of the Shahids? What do they seem to offer her, and how do her memories inform her attraction to them?
4. What does Nora mean when she describes herself as "the woman upstairs"? What are the chief attributes of this archetype?
5. Nora asks, "How did all that revolutionary talk of the seventies land us in place where being female means playing dumb and looking good?" (p. 4). In what ways can The Woman Upstairs be read as a feminist novel? Which aspects of women's experience does the novel illuminate?
6. Nora might be described as a self-conscious narrator. At the beginning of Chapter 7, she writes: "There was another strand in this tapestry. What does it signify that I am loath to tell you, slow to tell you?" (p. 148). What effect is created by Nora's direct addresses to the reader and her self-questioning? How does Nora want her readers to see her? Does this honesty make her more of a reliable narrator, or does it trigger the reader to be more skeptical of her storytelling—including her observations and her claims?
7. As he walks her home one night, Skandar tells Nora, "You don't look like a ravenous wolf," to which Nora replies, "Well, I am. . . . I'm starving" (p. 161). What is Nora so hungry for? Where does her hunger—her longing and desire—come from?
8. Earlier in the novel, she writes that hunger is "the source of almost every sorrow" (p. 46). Is hunger at the root of her own pain? Nora understands that "the great dilemma" of her mother's life "had been to glimpse freedom too late, at too high a price" (p. 40). Does Nora reenact her mother's failed ambitions or go beyond them? Why did Nora give up the artist's life and become first a management consultant and then an elementary school teacher?
9. Why does Nora choose Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, Alice Neel and Edie Sedgwick as subjects for her dioramas? In what ways does she identify with, yet try to distinguish herself from, these particular writers and artists?
10. The ending of The Woman Upstairs delivers a tremendous shock to Nora and to the reader. Were there hints and warnings that a betrayal was coming? Why wasn't Nora more wary of her involvement with the Shahids? What may have motivated Sirena to treat Nora as she does?
11. Early in the novel, Nora writes: "I'm not crazy. Angry, yes; crazy, no" (p. 5). But later she suggests that if someone else told her story to her, she'd conclude they were either crazy or a child. How is the reader to understand her mental and emotional state?
12. After visiting Sirena's Wonderland exhibit in Paris, Nora writes: "How could I begin to explain what it meant . . . the great rippling outrage of what it meant—about each of us, about myself perhaps most of all, about the lies I'd persistently told myself these many years" (p. 252). What does the betrayal Nora suffers mean for each of them? What lies has she told herself?
13. It becomes clear by the end of the novel that Sirena was using Nora. Is Nora purely a victim of Sirena's ruthlessness? To what extent does Nora make herself vulnerable to such humiliation? Was she also using Sirena for her own purposes?
14. Look again at the ferocious opening pages of the novel and at Nora's self-description, written after the events the novel describes have already transpired. How has she been transformed by her experience with the Shahids? Has the experience, as painful as it was, been good for her in any way?

Q&A: MetroHealth's Tracy Carter's fight to save Medicaid coverage
One of the many ripple effects of the Affordable Care Act was pushing Medicaid into the national spotlight. Historically overshadowed by Medicare, the public insurance program for low-income people now dominates political conversations, especially in statehouses where lawmakers try to balance the desire to provide coverage with the drain on state coffers. For Tracy Carter, vice president of government relations at Cleveland-based MetroHealth System, protecting Medicaid is intertwined with the public health system's overall mission. In recent budget battles, her team fought off cuts that would have cost MetroHealth nearly $25 million. Carter, one of Modern Healthcare's Top 25 Minority Executives in 2018, recently spoke with Managing Editor Matthew Weinstock. They were joined by Michael Dalton, MetroHealth's director of state government relations. Dalton was named to Modern Healthcare's 2018 class of Up & Comers. The following is an edited transcript.
MH: You've been very involved in Medicaid throughout your career. What led you to that trajectory? Why has that program been so important for you to focus on?
Carter: I grew up in a mixed-income community. There were a lot of people who were living in poverty. I was always raised to believe that everyone, independent of their income, is equal. Some people in life need additional help and that additional help came through the Medicaid program. As I evolved in my education and training, and even my employment pathway, whatever I can do to better advocate and champion for people to access that support, maintain that support, that's what I am excited about.
Being at a public hospital, we have close to 40% of our patient base tied to that program. It's an alignment of purpose and passion for me in terms of government relations to advance those policies to help people maintain their coverage.
MH: Your payer mix is predominately Medicaid and Medicare, correct?
Carter: We are roughly 40% Medicaid, about 30% Medicare, and another 5% uninsured.
MH: One of the things you took on when you arrived at MetroHealth in 2015 was aligning government relations with the system's strategic plan. Can you talk about that?
Carter: Government relations is designed to support the strategy of an organization. We sit down with our clinical and administrative leadership to have a conversation about where we are and where we want to go and how public policy, funding and partnerships can help facilitate that. It's an active dialogue and requires us to be really focused on what we ask from government. For example, when we're talking about population health, how can we better deliver care to certain groups from a better cost and quality position.
On the government relations side, we would say that one tool that always needs to be in play is making sure people have coverage so that there are no barriers for them to accessing care when they need it.
MH: How engaged are your clinicians?
Carter: A lot of the clinicians here are politically aware and active. They're very effective with advocacy around patient interests and needs. For example, in our market there is an opioid crisis. Government, the private sector, the community—all of those different sectors—want to work together to try and come up with solutions. Mike has been partnering with the workforce to try to activate political and legislative solutions.
Dalton: Dr. Joan Papp is director of MetroHealth's office of opioid safety and has been instrumental in going down to Columbus and being seen as a champion and a leader on this issue through the creation of a program we call Project Dawn, which is about getting naloxone into the hands of first responders, and also patients and their family members.
We make sure she's connecting with the right legislators to hear her message and then also working with departments in the regulatory bodies to make sure we have the right rules in place. That's more than half the battle. They need to hear the clinician's perspective.
MH: You were successful last year in staving off Medicaid cuts, too. Can you walk me through what you were able to do on that front?
Carter: Whenever there are proposals that could impact our mission, our ability to provide care to patients, we always partner with our finance team to get a sense of the impact. If this moves forward, how would we operate or function differently, what's the real impact from a patient-care perspective, a health service perspective, a jobs perspective?
What we find to be effective is not only having a conversation with legislators, but also the administration, about what's being proposed and what the impact is on the ground level, from a community level, that they probably did not anticipate.
Once you come to them with facts, with human impact stories, a lot of times there's a way for them to reconsider their policy plan. There's active dialogue (with legislators). "If your goal is X, could we consider a different pathway or solution to reach the same destination?"
That's how we were able to, at that point in time, avoid multimillion-dollar cuts. We told our story.
MH: What kind of collaboration do you have with University Hospitals and the Cleveland Clinic, which have different patient populations than you do?
Carter: The good news about our market is that all of our government relations offices know each other. We have a history of working together. We all know and understand that there are times, there are places where we have to protect our own institution's interest. That's OK, but there are also times when we have to work together for a bigger agenda that supports a broader industry, and I think we do that well in this region.
MH: Ohio expanded Medicaid, but it is back on the agenda in the gubernatorial campaign, this time around work requirements. What are you doing to prepare for that part of the campaign?
Carter: When the proposal for work requirements was released, we—along with the Cleveland Clinic, Sisters of Charity Health System and University Hospitals—got in a room and said, "We could work together on this, because we understand the implications toward our lower-income populations if they lose coverage."
We partnered with a group called Medworks, an organization that provides free healthcare clinics throughout the community. As part of that, they now want to better educate patients and enroll people into Medicaid.
Their interests are aligned with the hospitals' interest. We've been meeting for the past three to four months about what the likely impact is for Medicaid recipients in northeast Ohio if the work proposal moves forward. We have been talking about the need to be prepared if this moves forward to do X, Y and Z, to better educate and engage people about what just happened, and how they could keep their coverage. It's a great example of community benefit, community collaboration.
Dalton: As a public hospital, we are unable to engage in the political process that's going on right now, but we are working and planning for what could come about both at the end of this year and then also as we prepare for the budget next year.
There's an ongoing race for speaker in the Ohio House of Representatives, and it's not about Democrat versus Republican and how things turn out there, it's Republican and Republican and there's two different factions. One is considered to be a more moderate Republican, the other is more conservative and ran against Medicaid expansion.
There's this dynamic of: if that person—Larry Householder—prevails, how do we maintain current eligibility for Medicaid expansion, because there's another dynamic hanging over our heads, which is in the last budget Gov. John Kasich vetoed an enrollment freeze.
If there's a Democratic governor, how do we make sure that there's an alignment with their agenda and what will be a Republican House and Senate. Then if there's a Republican governor, how do we make sure that the expansion is maintained as a priority, but also that these work requirements that have been proposed, and if they go forward and are deemed legal, that they are not overly onerous.
MH: How closely are you following what's happening with the Kentucky work-requirement litigation?
Carter: We're monitoring it a great deal because we believe that's why Ohio's proposal is delayed. But because of our relationship with legislators, we understand their values, we understand their priorities and that they want some changes to the program to better incentivize people to have skin in the game, or demonstrate skin in the game with their coverage.
The hospitals are all thinking that at some point change is coming. We're preparing for the change so that the least amount of people will be impacted, fewer people will lose coverage, and, at the same time, providers can continue to do what we do best in terms of providing them with the best care possible when they need it.
MH: Anything else you want to add, Tracy?
Carter: In my 15-plus years of experience in this world, what I find to be true is everyone—Democrat and Republican—comes to the office with a heart and mind ready to serve, to do the best job they can. I have to look at what's on my agenda that intersects or aligns with their agenda and to the extent I can, figure that out and go to them with data and the impact on our community.
For me and my system, it's the patients. That's what I focus on when I come here.

Today: Burt Bacharach and the Israeli ambassador to Sweden. First, though, I have to note that I am not surprised Dean got pasted in Iowa. Why? Because this was IOWA, for heaven's sake. It's the Midwest. We can tell when someone is getting carried away with himself, and we know what to do: shun him, kindly. It wasn't so much the substance of Dean's recent comments; it was the persona behind him. I can imagine a nice Iowa lady of a certain age, sitting in a coffee shop, enjoying her pie, watching the TV crew pack up after Doctor Dean had blown in and out of Bev's Chatterbox Cafe. "Well, he certainly does think well of himself," she might have thought. Translation:
she wouldn't spit on his face if his nose was on fire.
This was not a rejection of the Dean message. This was a rejection of the messenger. He has only himself to blame; this race was his to lose, and he lost it. He inhaled his own vapors. Iowans decided that they wanted a second opinion - and I think New Hampshire voters will concur. But what do I know.
I want
a DVD compilation of 100 opening credits for forgotten 1960s movies. Is that too much to ask? The other night I found something I'd Tivo'd: "After the Fox," a caper comedy with Peter Sellers. The credits were just what you'd expect: Maurice Bender animation, a crafty animal to make you hope this would be as good as the Pink Panther, the pop-stars of the moment (the Hollies) singing a Burt Bacharach song with a hook and instrumentation you could only find in the 60s. I couldn't get the hook out of my mind all day. And it's played on a harpsichord. Someone should do a study of the role the harpsichord played in the 60s – it stood for Sophisticated European Intrigue, Rosemary's Baby-style evil, light physical humor. Your all-purpose instrument. Perhaps in 200 years there will be a sudden & brief spasm of love for the Mellotron, or the Tonette.
I have no interest in seeing the movie, but I love the title sequence. I TiVo lots of 60s movies just for the titles. Nowadays we see the 60s through the prism of the counterculture, and think that helps us understand the era best – well, ahem, the important syllables in "counterculture" are "counter." You can't understand the 60s without spending an equal amount of time in the stuff the counterculture countered. On any given weekend moviegoing Americans went not to a Dead concert but to "After the Fox" or some such trifle. Having the Hollies sing the title tune might have been as close as they got to the scary world of ROCK, with its long hair and folk singers and dope smoking and free love, etc.
No, I am not making a claim for the "After the Fox" theme as a neglected classic!!! OMG Burt roolz! I don't want Elvis Costello to cover the tune in cabaret style. It's the musical equivalent of snorting a Pixy Stick, and I like it not for what it is but for the era it suggests. You hear that song and you know exactly when it was recorded. This Amazon page has
a 30 second snippet
, which sounds rather incoherent; the hook comes halfway through. The voice of the Fox is Sellers himself, perhaps the only song he did with the Hollies.
I'm with Dennis Prager on modern music: the symphonic tradition died and went to Hollywood. That's where you find the old warhorses stabled, and while a Williams or Zimmer soundtrack obviously isn't the equal of a Brahms symphony, there are moments in a good soundtrack that deserve to stand alongside their forebearers. I've been listening to the Matrix orchestral soundtrack tonight while my wife and daughter were out for the night – gave me a chance to tun it up to 11. Lots of musical rhubarb – you know, the stuff the orchestra says just to keep you reminded that there's music going on here, and the important chords will be along in just a moment I'm now convinced that one of the reasons I was so spellbound by that first Matrix movie had a lot to do with the soundtrack. Not the pumpathumpa techno, cool as that was, but the orchestral music. The winds. The brass. The old-fashioned catgut & horsehair brigade. The composer, Don Davis, got it all right – it's heroic, soaked in dread, confused, exalted, and constantly punctuated by that chord - a brass figure that feels like a wide bright knife searing into story you're seeing. If Danny Elfman had scored the movie it wouldn't have been the same film.
You're probably asking: what does this have to do with the Israeli ambassador knocking a light into a pool of blood-red water at a Stockholm art exhibit? Not much, I suppose. But I wrote my Newhouse column on this contretemps, and while googling around for info on the artist I found his musical manifesto. He's a Marxist.
We are becoming deaf and musically unconscious when we hear nothing but perfect harmony, perfect structures, just new academism, repetition and its refrain. Perfect melodies and perfect chords in popular music, perfect structure, instrumentation and electroacustic sounds in the "new music" scene, just the circulation of clean and sound sound currents, cleaned of the noises and sounds that could disturb prosperity that's what music offers us today.
This use of chords, melodies, voices, structures and electroacustic sounds that claim to be the music itself, create an aesthetic of boredom, a self sufficient repetition and artistic conformity. The tracks are overwhelmed by signature tunes, the concert halls by "classical" compositions and "new music" academism. This is the potential fascism in music.
Translation: this guy's music makes dogs leave the room. Beethoven = Hitler!
I could go on, and probably should – but my wife goes back to contract work tomorrow, which means I have to get up early. Back to the dad-at-home routine, and I couldn't be more pleased. "It's a daddy day tomorrow," I said to Gnat, and her eyes lit up. "Yay!"
My sentiments, exactly.

U.S. Attorney for Seattle Threatens To Block Supervised Injection Facility
Nearly two decades of data from Canada show that such facilities reduce overdose deaths.
The Justice Department fired another salvo this week at harm reduction advocates. Their crime: trying to bring down the death toll from opioid overdoses.
Brian Moran, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington, told Seattle journalists Wednesday that his office would sue Seattle if it moved forward with plans to allow a supervised injection facility (SIF) to open in the city.
According to the Seattle Times' Mike Carter, Moran told Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes that his office would borrow a play from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which sued Philadelphia in federal court in February in order to block that city's planned SIF. In the Eastern District's lawsuit, U.S. Attorney William McSwain alleges that a SIF would be illegal under federal "crack house" laws that make it a crime to operate a facility where drugs are used.
"We are all trying to solve a horrific crisis, and these are people whose intentions are well-mannered, well-meaning and in good faith," Moran told the Times. "This is not a time or place to bring a heavy hammer for people with good intentions."
If it sounds like Moran is playing nice, that's because a federal lawsuit is relatively tame compared to the "hammer" brandished in 2017 by the U.S. attorney in Vermont, who threatened SIF advocates in Burlington—including the city's top prosecutor—with federal asset forfeiture and prosecution if they moved forward.
"It is a crime, not only to use illicit narcotics, but to manage and maintain sites on which such drugs are used and distributed," declared a December 2017 statement from the U.S. attorney's office in Vermont. "Thus, exposure to criminal charges would arise for users and SIF workers and overseers. The properties that host SIFs would also be subject to federal forfeiture."
Meanwhile, Philadelphia's Safehouse, a privately funded nonprofit working to reduce overdose deaths in the city, plans to move forward with its supervised injection facility. The organization has pointed to research in other countries that shows SIFs reduce overdose deaths among people who use the facilities, both by having nurses and doctors on hand to reverse overdoses and by connecting drug users with social services.
Safehouse counter-sued the Justice Department this week, asking for an injunction that will prevent the department from interfering with the operation of a future Philadelphia SIF location. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Aubrey Whelan reports that Safehouse is fighting the suit on religious grounds as well as public health. "The DOJ's threats and the initiation of a lawsuit against Safehouse burdens Safehouse by forcing it to choose between the exercise of its founders' and directors' religious beliefs and conformity with the DOJ's interpretation of [the crack-house statute]," the suit reads.
Despite the feds' opposition, the SIF model is drawing interest in big cities around the country. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has asked the state government for approval to allow four SIFs in NYC, but he's being slow-rolled by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, due to Justice Department opposition. Earlier this year, the mayors of Boston and Cambridge traveled to Canada to tour Vancouver's Insite, which in 2003 became the first SIF in North America.
"There's more than enough evidence now that we should be adopting this model," Dr. Jessie Gaeta, chief medical officer at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, told WBUR in January.

Shared Content – Jason Gaston
Usually, I wait until an entire season of a television series is done before I write up one of these "You Should be Watching…" posts, but I am so excited for this long-delayed new season of Cosmos that I just can't help myself. Cosmos: Possible Worlds, even after only two episodes, is a celebration of discovery and imagination that it is already a must-see for truth-seekers and the curious.
Nearly writing a post as this shared content author did, I was hooked after the first episode. Five more in and I have caught up to a show as good as the original one Neil DeGrasse Tyson did a few years ago. Being set back for all sorts of reasons, I am glad to see one of the most informative shows back tacking new relevant scientific issues and methods related to space.
Also reading two of his books, listening to his podcast and saw him live one time in Melbourne, Australia, this show adds to the collection that now I will be at watching weekly. The 2020 show again tells a story with amazing visualization of different styles while explaining in a solid historical way.
Neil speaking about Carl Sagan makes me want to read his source material that started this series in the first place. Being among many over focuses of individuals results with the understandings of science fiction like concepts. Packed with everything needed links difficult subjects in the most entertaining way possible being epically displayed using various forms of media.
Maybe there will be a review of this show on ENTERTAINMENT CULTURE ONLINE in the near future. Naming some details from jasongaston.net, he has categories in writing of travels, life, photography, my art, movie reviews and then television. I followed so keep at the good works as I shall be watching.

Multiple waxing and dyeing to create a multi-coloured design is common. After each dyeing stage, the unwanted wax is removed (by boiling, melting or scraping it off) and fresh wax is applied to all the areas that are not to be coloured with the next dye. This process is continued until the desired pattern is created.
There are different ways of applying the wax, such as using a fine pointed stick, a small tool with a funnel or metal blocks. The tradition of making batiks can be found in many countries, such as China, India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Philippines and Sri Lanka, but the Indonesian batiks (especially those from Java) are some of the most well-known.

No matter how kind, patient, loving, or easy-going you are, I'm sure we can all think of people who are sometimes hard for us to love. Maybe they're hard to love because they've hurt you, or because you disagree with them about something, or maybe it's just because they annoy you. Whatever the reason, we can sometimes feel really stuck in our anger, frustration, or sadness when it comes to these hard-to-love people. The problem is God tells us to love everyone, even our enemies. So what do we do when we just don't feel like we can? The apostle Paul, who wrote the letter to the Galatians in the Bible, reminds us that Jesus doesn't just tell us to love people — He gives us the Holy Spirit to help us do it. We can't love people like Jesus loves them in our own strength, but guess what. We don't have to! God has already sent a Helper — the Holy Spirit helps us love.

It ran for 180 episodes, seven years, and earned 11 Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes. Back then, The Golden Girls was a smash hit for NBC, and today, it remains popular on a global scale thanks to syndication. One needs to only glance at the mountain of character-related Etsy merch to know it continues to resonate with new generations.
Now, Cyndi Lauper and Jane Lynch are using the series as inspiration for a new Netflix project. "We're our age," Lynch said during an interview at the Creative Arts Emmys. "I'm almost 60 and she's 65, and we're looking for our next act, without ever having had husbands [or] children. And there will be two other people who haven't been cast yet. But it's kind of a Golden Girls for today."
Comedian and comedy writer Carol Leifer has also confirmed her involvement, posting this photo to Facebook back in July.

The Balchoth crossed the river Auduin in numerous fords passing into the Wold in the Northern province of Calenardhon, which had been abandoned long before and the Balchoth met little resistance crossing. The Northern Army of Gondor led by the Steward Cirion, appeared out from Isengard, Alaround and other fortresses in the White Mountains, but the Majority of the Balchoth army had already crossed the river Auduin, and drove the Northern army back into the Wold and cut off all reinforcements. By the time the South Gondor army appeared, The North army had come under attack by a Orc band out of the close by Misty Mountains to the east and were backed against the river and surronded by two armies.
Out of the north suddenly Eorl The Young from Eotheod appeared unexpected by friend of foe, responding to Cirion's call. The Eotheod crossed the Auduin and the Undeeps of the river and broke into the rearguard of the Balchoth and attacked the orc band in the flanks and rear, destroying and scattering all of the Balchoth in Calnardhon.
