Amazon's latest covid 19 self-test is now up for the users
Amazon is now selling its covid 19 test kit directly to customers, whose results will be displayed on the amazon diagnostic website, which was initially designed for Amazon employees.
The test is on sale for $39.99 with one day delivery and free delivery in some areas .
How does the test work?
For using this test, a patient swabs their own nose at home and places it in a box with a prepaid shipping return label. The swabs are then sent to a centralized lab. This was primarily used only for Amazon employees but now is available for everyone in the US.
The in-house test is the newest Amazon expansion into healthcare. Recently the company started offering its telehealth and at-home health program to other than its own employees in march.
Through the Amazon pharmacy program they are also offering medication for six months at $6.

How I See Music / Music as a Vessel
Posted-on December 1, 2021 December 1, 2021 By lineBylineWRGW_MusicEditor
BY OLIVER KOGOD//
Oftentimes, I try to convince myself that there is more to the world than music. I know it's true. The songs I consume are only a small sliver of what's out there. Yet, despite the attempt to convince myself, I still have trouble seeing the world in a non-music lens. Everything, to me, is music-related.
I think a lot about music. What it means, its role (if it has one), why I like it so much, etc. The third topic is what I want to focus on. I feel as though something that permeates my life in so many ways deserves examination. And the examination would be valuable for myself and other music lovers, and maybe even for people who interact with the world through a music lens like I do.
Why I like music goes hand in hand with how I see music. The two topics are closely tangled together.
I see music as a container. Each song, album, artist, genre, era, playlist, sound is a vessel. The vessels are not completely empty nor are they completely full. The space that is already filled is the meaning inherent to the music. A song, for instance, has ascribed meaning put there by the artist. The meaning can be found anywhere in the music, such as the lyrics, the instrumental, the tone, the sounds, the subtext of the words, etc.
What I love most about music is not the meanings put into the music by the artist, rather it is the meanings we as listeners put into the music ourselves. We usually do this individually on our own, or sometimes in groups. Our personal meanings fill up the empty space in the vessel.
For me, my personal meanings of music are generally saved through memories. Memories are associated with specific songs. Hearing these special songs brings a rush of past experiences that make up who I am. The songs capture that time and place and put them into a contained recording that I can access at any time. I like that songs can capture these experiences and wrap them up so beautifully.
Music as memories (and memories as music) bring about two benefits that add to why I love music so much. First off, music memories serve as documentation for the past. Songs become archives that record past events and experiences. Playlists full of these special songs become history books. The music records your personal history. I think this is both cool and useful in saving past experiences and telling stories.
Secondly, music memories are great in taking you to different places. I see music as the Great Relocator. Music is capable of moving its listeners. I'm not talking about physically moving people, although it can inspire dance and movement. Rather, I mean music lifting listeners up from where they're at and bringing them far distances away. In my life, for example, I am sitting here writing this down. But the moment I press play on Turnstile's "Mystery," I am no longer here. The surroundings here aren't what I experience. I am standing on top of my favorite hill back home in San Francisco overlooking the city on a crisp, clear morning (a beautiful memory). Or if I decide to listen to the Neil Young song "Cowgirl In The Sand" (the live at Massey Hall 1971 version), I am driving on a rainy, dark highway in Central California with my friend Marcus coming home from a wonderful visit of old friends (another beautiful memory). This is what I mean. Music can transport us to different times and places. When I'm listening to one of those special-to-me songs, my body may be here where you see it, but am I really here? You know? Music takes me off into a different world.
I put on a song and close my eyes. There are a few questions that I ask myself. Where does this song take me? What do I see/sense around me? I love asking these questions with other people as we listen to music as a group. It's exciting to hear the places and times that they are taken to. The answers to the questions bring up the associations, both to memories and to unknown possibilities, that we hold with certain music.
These associations are the personal meanings that fill up the rest of the space in the vessel that I see as music. Thinking of music as memory-filled vessels is definitely not the only way to see it. But it's a perspective that I've held onto and one that has enhanced my listening and lived experiences. It has also challenged me to examine my notions surrounding music, this intangible unexplainable medium that I love so deeply.
Like in life, there is never just one way to see something. Music is the same. I offered my vision but it is not the only or best way. Just keep listening. -OK

Friends remember kind Tony
TRIBUTES have been paid to a 43-year-old Shotwick businessman who died after a sudden illness.
Tony Reynolds, whose numerous business interests included The Brook Meadow Hotel in Childer Thornton, was laid to rest last Thursday at St Nicholas' Parish Church in Burton.
He is survived by wife Penny, daughter Jen, mother Sonia, stepmother Heidi and sisters Sally and Gill.
His close friend and colleague Stephen Yip, founder of the Liverpool-based children's charity KIND, fondly recalls 'a big man in every sense of the word'.
Mr Reynolds, who was born in Liverpool, was a trustee of KIND and committed to giving something back to the community in which he was born.
Mr Yip added: 'In his 43 years, Tony achieved a tremendous amount, both in the business and personal sense.
'He was the founder of AE Reynolds and the family were the first Honda dealers in the UK. Tony developed the company into one of the biggest Honda dealers in England.
'He also developed other business interests, including The Brook Meadow Hotel, Tony's Restaurant and a number of petrol stations in Hooton and Liverpool.' But despite his heavy business workload, Mr Reynolds dedicated much of his time to others.
Mr Yip said: 'As a trustee of KIND for the last 15 years, he helped to provide many disadvantaged and deprived local children with an opportunity to experience another side of life and to show that they and life do have more to offer.
'His drive and enthusiasm helped to secure and establish the charity for the future. Tony was also heavily involved in his daughter's local junior school.
'Tony was a big man in every sense of the word and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.'

Flu fact sheet for parents increases vaccination rate in children
Young children are more likely to suffer severe, even life-threatening complications from the flu, but only around half of children in the US get the flu vaccine.
A cheap and simple pamphlet about the flu, handed to parents in their pediatrician's waiting room, can have a significant impact on increasing the uptake of the flu vaccine, a new study from researchers at Columbia University has found.
The study—a randomized, controlled clinical trial—is one of the first to look at the effect of educational information on influenza vaccination rates in children.
"Parents' concerns and misperceptions about vaccines are on the rise," says Melissa Stockwell, MD, MPH, associate professor of pediatrics and population and family health at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and senior author on the paper. "But previous studies have shown that offering information to disprove vaccine myths, in some cases, only reinforces parents' beliefs about vaccination and can even reduce the number of vaccine-hesitant parents who intend to get their kids vaccinated."
Influenza spreads easily and affects about 8% of children each year. In young children, especially those under 2 years of age, the flu is more likely to cause pneumonia and severe inflammatory responses, which can result in hospitalization and even death.
The best way to prevent influenza is with the influenza vaccine, aka 'flu shot,' and both the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics recommend annual flu vaccination for children age 6 months and up.
"In our study, we hoped to identify educational content that would encourage parents to get their children vaccinated against the flu," says Vanessa P. Scott, MD, first author who was previously a general academic pediatrics fellow at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and is currently an assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at University of California San Diego.
What the Study Found
The study included 400 parent-and-child pairs at pediatric clinics in northern Manhattan. The parents answered a brief questionnaire to assess their attitudes toward the flu shot and their intent to vaccinate. One-third received a one-page handout with local information about the flu, another third received a one-page handout with national information about the flu, and the rest received usual care (no handout). Both handouts emphasized the risk of getting the flu, the seriousness of the disease, and vaccine effectiveness. Providers were unaware of the parent's study participation.

Italian food culture – Spaghetti carbonara
Post by Michele
This post has been written following a logical path that over the years has led me to understand and appreciate much better the cultural wonders of Italy.
On the side you'll find a Table of contents.
Below you'll find a Table of contents.
I advise you to read all the paragraphs in their order and I invite you to leave your comment at the bottom of the page, perhaps with useful information and curiosities about this and other typical Italian dishes. Enjoy the reading.
Spaghetti carbonara: a myth of Italian cuisine
In search of the origins of carbonara sauce
The real history of Spaghetti carbonara between myths and legends
Spaghetti carbonara recipe
Little secrets to prepare a superb Spaghetti carbonara
Spaghetti carbonara is certainly one of the most traditional dish of the Italian cuisine.
Particularly common in the central part of Italy, carbonara sauce is probably the most difficult of the pasta seasonings.
There is a lot to be said about the origin of spaghetti carbonara (in Italian, Spaghetti alla carbonara) which, like many other italian foods, has a really interesting history.
You will surely know, for example, that Italy, known for its pasta with tomato sauce, would not have this gastronomic reputation if Marco Polo's navigation had not led him to know the "golden apple" (this is the literary translation of tomato)as well as for soy spaghetti (noodles) or potatoes whose transformation led to the creation of famous specialties of traditional Italian cuisine.
Well, even spaghetti carbonara seems to be actually the result of these migrations and cultural imports of which Italy is certainly jealous and appreciated guardian.
Given the premise on Marco Polo, if I say that this dish is traditional of Chinese cuisine I would lie unashamedly but one thing is certain; the recipe for pasta alla carbonara only appears after the Second World War and, in this case, sees nothing less than American soldiers as protagonists.
OMG, Spaghetti alla carbonara is well known to be a Roman traditional dish. Is a myth collapsing?
I am pervaded by a chill of cold !!
In fact, leafing through the historical documents of Italian cuisine we do not find a trace of spaghetti alla carbonara in the Talisman of Happiness, written by Ada Boni in 1930 in which all the recipes of the Roman culinary tradition are registered.
Instead, the spaghetti carbonara recipe seems to have been published for the first time in 1952 in an American gastronomic guide entitled "An extraordinary guide to what's cooking on Chicago's Near North Side", written by Patricia Bronté.
The first appearance of carbonara sauce on an Italian cuisine publication, although the ingredients are NOT ABSOLUTELY those of carbonara spaghetti known today, seems to date back to 1954. The ingredients reported in this version of spaghetti carbonara are: egg , bacon, Gruyere and garlic.
No, no, no !!! Italian pride rebels.
Only in 1955 in the "Lady in the kitchen", Italian cookbook written by Felix Dessì, spaghetti carbonara is presented in a version more similar to today, with the presence of eggs, pepper, parmesan.
Over the years, other ingredients such as: wine, garlic, onion, parsley, pepper, chilli pepper find space in the carbonara spaghetti recipe but the definitive consecration of the carbonara spaghetti as a national recipe takes place with the publication in Luigi Carnacina's recipe book "La grande cucina " dated 1960.
For the first time, pork cheek is introduced, replacing the bacon, and the cream that will often be present in the carbonara sauce recipe until the end of the 80s.
In today's version, as recognized in Italy, spaghetti carbonara recipe includes four simple ingredients masterfully combined with each other: egg, pecorino and pork cheek with a generous sprinkle of black pepper.
The true origins of this fantastic italian recipe are not entirely clear.
Someone wants carbonara sauce to take its name from the Abruzzese lumberjacks who collected wood to make coal, others that it was the typical dish of shepherds in transhumance or that it was a typical dish of Roman cuisine at the time of the carbonari but, according to the most accredited sources, the history of spaghetti carbonara seems to be linked to the Americans and the Second World War.
In fact, it seems that the traditional dishes in use at the time had been enriched with meat to satisfy the wishes of Americans, who have always been great consumers of meat.
But what was the local tradition of Italian cuisine?
Let's introduce some data so that the probable origin of spaghetti carbonara is more easy to undertsand.
Pasta carbonara is now recognized as a typical dish of Roman cuisine but in reality linked to the gastronomic culture of two Italian regions: Lazio (the region of which Rome is the capital) and Abruzzo.
Both these regions are crossed by the Apennines, a gentle mountain range where in the past abundant flocks of sheep passed to spend the winter in the coastal plains of the south, in particular in the Region of Puglia, and then returned in spring on the fresh and greener meadows of the Apennine heights of central Italy, in particular of the Abruzzo region.
And it is precisely in central Italy, where the sheep fed in the spring, that there is a higher consumption of the famous pecorino, a cheese made from sheep's milk.
Someone therefore claims that during the Second World War on the Reinhard line, between Lazio, Molise and Campania, bacon was added to the pasta "ovo e cacio", a typical dish of Abruzzo cuisine, to please Americans who have always been great consumers of meat. But still today the most accredited, documented and never denied version is that of Renato Gualandi.
This young chef from Bologna was hired in September 1944 to prepare a lunch on the occasion of the meeting between the English Eighth Army and the American Fifth Army in the newly liberated city of Riccione. In his memories Gualandi quotes: "The Americans had fantastic bacon, delicious milk cream, cheese and egg red powder. I put it all together and served this pasta to the generals and officers for dinner. At the last moment I decided to put black pepper which gave off an excellent flavor."
Subsequently, from September 1944 to April 1945, Gualandi was hired as a cook for the American troops in Rome and it seems that it was then that the fame and use of Spaghetti carbonara spread in the capital and became a traditional italian dish.
350 gr./ 0.88 pounds of spaghetti
120 gr./ 0.250 pounds of pork cheek
50 gr. / 0.11 pounds of Roman pecorino
Black pepper as wished
Boil the water for the pasta.
In the meantime, cut the bacon into thin slices (2mm. /0.08 inches) and then into strips of 5mm / 0.20 inches) and cook over low heat until it becomes crispy.
Separately, beat the eggs, add the pecorino and stretch with 40 gr /2.5 ounces of water. Mix with a whisk so that the eggs become creamy and salty.
When the pasta water boils, add sea salt and cook the pasta. Drain the pasta and saute it in the pan whit the pork cheek to allow the absorption of the pork cheek fat and flavour by the pasta.
Turn off the heat, add the mixture of eggs and pecorino and mix everything quickly avoiding the formation of lumps (the scrambled eggs effect).
If strictly necessary, to maintain the right creaminess, add just a little cooking water. Sprinkle fresh black pepper as wished and serve warm.
This is the creamy Spaghetti carbonara you are looking for.
This is the scrambled eggs result you should avoid.
To prepare the carbonara it takes long pasta. Green light for bavette or bucatini, but the pasta indicated for carbonara sauce is spaghetti.
The pork cheek, with the more delicate flavor of the bacon, should be cut into strips and cooked on a low heat until it becomes slightly crispy.
Btw, nobody kills you if if cut the pork cheek in little cubes.
When you saute the past with the pork cheek the pasta has to look shining and slightly creamy, no dry, no wet. If necessary, at this stage fire is still on and you can use just a little boiling water to reach your target. Add the eggs only after switching off the fire.
The use of bacon, smoked bacon, cream and other ingredients other than eggs, pecorino, pork cheek and pepper, although endorsed by some cooking manuals, is not strictly philological.
Spaghetti carbonara is not a day after dish. Do not try to heat them but, in the very rare case you get some left over, do not throw them away. Even a couple of days later you can beat some eggs, mix with pasta and cook in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil. You will get an excellent Frittata to serve, ad example with a fresh tomatoes salad.

I followed your recipe for spaghetti carbonara and the results were excellent! So delicious!
I like that your recipe is very specific and easy to follow.
We've never been to Olive Tree Hill , so next time we are in Rome we hope to visit you.
I hope you are doing well and staying safe during this terrible pandemic.
Hi Mary, we are happy you enjoyed it!
Carbonara is so good, if you are able do not turn it in a "scrambled eggs pasta".
Stay tune soon will be some more recipes coming.

Social media ad spending to top $80 million in 2007
Social marketing is hot -- not only with kids, but with advertisers as well. Advertising budgets are expected to have pushed more than $80 million into popular sites such as Facebook and MySpace by the end of the year (2007). Facebook showed 125% growth over the last year, due largely to the opening of its membership to the general public. MySpace had a much more modest 19% growth, but still earns almost three times as many unique visitors as Facebook (but not in Canada.)

Azarenka defeats Pegula in straight sets to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open | Australian Open 2023
like Victoria Azarenka Holding on to one of her biggest wins of the past decade, it gave her a stratospheric reminder of why she's achieved so much. Roaming inside the baseline, Azarenka relentlessly grabbed the ball early on and applied constant choking pressure.
Her relentless strength resulted in a massive win both times Australian Open Championship The champion knocked out third seed Jessica Pegula 6-4 6-1 to return to the semi-finals for the first time since 2013.
"I knew I had to play fast, I had to not give her the chance to step in, I had to manipulate it," she said. "I made some really interesting slides. I was like: You're doing the right thing. Even if it sounds like crap, it's okay. It's the right way to do it."
Pegula has been one of the fittest players in her line-up after sweeping past her four opponents to reach her third consecutive quarter-final at the Australian Open without dropping a set. But in an arena so important to Azarenka's career, the pressure she placed overwhelmed Pegula.
"She did exactly what she wanted to do," Pegula said. "She was executing it really well. Hitting the ball deep, taking it early, changing the direction of the ball."
A decade after Azarenka reached No. 1 in the world and faced Serena Williams in the world's biggest final, scenes like this were rare. After she took maternity leave in 2016 and gave birth to her son, Leo, she struggled with personal problems, including a custody battle, and consistently failed to rediscover her old form.
Azarenka seemed to have reached a turning point when she arrived 2020 US Open FinalHowever, the push she hoped he would bring never materialised. This is the second time she has reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam since 2016 and her second semi-final since 2013.
Azarenka attributes some of her recent problems to the stress and anxiety that followed her on the field last season. She said that she was not mentally prepared to play high level tennis, very afraid of failure. After the match, the 33-year-old was enthusiastic and candid about the journey it took him to feel good on the field.
"I don't think you recognize her right away," she said. "It builds up until you get to a really bad point where nothing makes sense. You kind of feel lost. I was at a point where I didn't find anything to feel good about myself, not even a single sentence."
"I broke some rackets after my match in Ostrava [where she lost in the first round in October]. That was a very difficult moment for me."
Since then, she has worked on learning how to process the feelings and thoughts she has in high stress situations. "I kept trying to take one small step forward, another challenge, and another step forward. I learned how to start building a process step by step instead of jumping to conclusions in a situation, jumping to a conclusion or to a goal, and really focusing on the step by step, which is very difficult. It takes a lot of work and daily work."

"It was one of the worst things I've been through in my career, the way I was treated after that moment, the way I had to explain myself until 10:30 p.m. because people didn't want to believe me," she said. "I was thinking about it. It took me 10 years to get over it. I finally got over it."
Ten years after her last Australian Open semi-final, she will face Azarenka Wimbledon Champion, Elena Rybakina, After the Kazakh followed her fourth-round win over world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, she beat former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-2, 6-4 to reach her second Grand Slam semifinal.

Tapestry Triptych celebrates Arbroath & Scotland's History
The Declaration of Arbroath Tapestry Triptych
Created and conceived over four years between 2016 and 2020, the Declaration of Arbroath Tapestry Triptych captures the legacy of this key historical document, which celebrated its 700-year anniversary in April 2020.
Lorna Ross tells us how the project came to be, the details of creating this collective tapestry and its contemporary wooden frame by Angus Ross.
Based in Perthshire, Angus Ross is best known as a designer and maker of exquisite, sculptural furniture with a sense of movement and flow. He has been innovating with wood for almost thirty years and remains curious about the possibilities of our local timber. Angus participated in renowned Collect in 2019 and 2020 with Craft Scotland and has a piece in the permanent Scottish Design Galleries collection at the V&A Dundee.
Lorna Ross has been working with Angus Ross for the last decade, mostly writing on behalf of their studio-workshop team. Lorna felt privileged to watch the tapestry evolve since May 2018.
Read on to learn about the challenges and rewards of creating this unique craft object in celebration of the Declaration of Arbroath and Scotland's rich history.
Tell us more about how The Declaration of Arbroath Tapestry Triptych project started?
The Declaration of Arbroath Tapestry Triptych is an incredible, collaborative craft object made to celebrate the 700-year anniversary of this important document of Scottish history. The tapestry design is by Andrew Crummy, with stitching by the Red Lichties Stitching Group and frame by Angus Ross.
The Declaration of Arbroath is a letter dated 6 April 1320 addressed to the Pope and asking him to recognise Scotland's independence and acknowledge Robert the Bruce as the country's lawful king. It was written in Latin and was sealed by eight earls and about forty barons. It is thought to have influenced the writing of constitutions across the world, including the Constitution of the United States.
The tapestry began in 2016 when Linda Walker gathered a group of experienced, talented stitchers and friends to work on a new tapestry that would bring the Declaration of Arbroath to life. The stitchers were Linda Walker, Patricia Beaton, Anne Marie Bray, Rena Freeburn, Janette Nairn, Alice Sim, Jessy Smart, Mary Stephen and Margaret Wynne. Together, they set themselves the enormous challenge of creating a tapestry that would be equal to the height of embroidery in medieval times.
Linda approached Andrew Crummy, the artist for the Great Tapestry of Scotland, to design the panel. After a year of research, supported by local historian Norman Atkinson, the first panel was designed, as a pencil drawing on linen.
Researching medieval stitching led Linda to approach Christine Riley from the Royal School of Needlework to guide them for a couple of sessions. Christine stayed for the duration of the project when stitchers met in every three weeks.

How did the tapestry evolve, and what are some of its most significant features?
Andrew Crummy encouraged the stitchers to be creative and express their own ideas particularly in the blank sections in the design. Christine, Linda and the stitchers made collective decisions on the appropriate stitch and materials for every section of the tapestry. An example was their decision to write the key passage from the declaration in shorthand.
The embroidery is three-dimensional and multi-layered with laidwork, couching, crewel-work, interpretive embroidery, and gold and silver work. The stitchers were very experienced, having sewn since childhood, and most developed their skills in the Embroiderers Guild, and in their professional lives. They also developed their skills further throughout the project, and all said they enjoyed the collective effort in a friendly and supportive group.
The left panel depicts fishing and medicinal plants in the abbey garden, and the right panel shows a tradesman, representing all the medieval trades who built the Abbey and the knights who took the Declaration to the Pope in France. Repeated elements are the wax seals of the nobles who "signed" the letter, the Arbroath Oslins - apples brought to the abbey and unique to Arbroath - and the stitchers also "signed" the tapestry with secret symbols.

Can you tell us more about Angus Ross' involvement with the tapestry project and the evolution of the triptych frame?
Linda asked Angus Ross to design and make a frame which would allow the tapestry to tour in November 2017. Angus suggested a folding, free-standing, triptych based on the sailing boat that left Arbroath to transport the Declaration to the Pope. The design was agreed in May 2018, and this meant that two more panels had to be designed and stitched. These new panels made it possible to tell the wider story of medieval Arbroath.
After over 2,800 stitching hours the tapestry was completed in December 2019 by which time it was so spectacular it was immediately taken into the permanent collection of Historic Environment Scotland to be on permanent display in the Visitors Centre of Arbroath Abbey. However, this meant the design for a free-standing frame with a dramatic steam-bent prow was abandoned, and materials became the focus of the new design for a cabinet.
The wood used in Angus' work was of specific historical importance. Historian Norman Atkinson knew of a tree associated with Robert the Bruce and that may provide timber, this was The Bruce Oak, thought to be the oldest oak tree in Scotland at about 600-800 years old.
This well-documented tree grew by Strathleven House near Glasgow, the site of a manor house built by Robert the Bruce who was known for tree planting and possibly even knew this tree. A fire led to its collapse in 2004 and some salvaged burr was generously donated to be used in the cabinet. The ancient burr oak provided beautiful, highly figured dark wood that has been carved into a prow-like shape for the base of the triptych and for finials and lock spacers.
The cabinet was made by Angus Ross and Steven Gray and finished days before lockdown in March 2020. The doorknobs are turned apple wood, the interior is Scottish oak, and the exterior of the cabinet is made in Scottish sycamore. This modest, plain, pale wood is suggestive of sailcloth and provides a total contrast to the jewel like interior. It is lined with vapour impermeable barriers, to prevent fumes from the oak damaging the tapestry.

The Declaration of Arbroath Tapestry Triptych is now on display as part of a new exhibition celebrating the Declaration of Arbroath's 700-year anniversary. The exhibition at the newly refurbished visitor centre at Arbroath Abbey features 50 historic artefacts relating to the Abbey and its role in Scotland's history.

5 Thanksgiving Movies From the 1940's to 2000's
November 19, 2018 by watkinsT Leave a Comment
Thanksgiving is such a great time for enjoying family and friends, recognizing the many blessings we should be thankful for and even watching a favorite holiday flick. The five films below, all centered around Thanksgiving, will warm your heart and prepare you for the holidays.
1. Miracle on 34th Street (1947) – While we often think of Christmas with this classic film, the story actually takes place between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day in New York City. The movie focuses on the impact of a department store Santa Claus who claims to be the real Santa. This film will not only make you appreciate the joy of Thanksgiving, but get you in the mood for Christmas.

2. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973) – When Peppermint Patty and her friends convince Charlie Brown to serve a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, Woodstock and Snoopy must come to his aid. Creative dishes like buttered toast and popcorn are highlighted, and Snoopy lends his innate charm to the special day. The gang gather around a ping-pong table for their unique feast, and the true meaning of Thanksgiving is revealed. This is a classic film the entire family will enjoy.

3. Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) – The story follows control-freak Neal Page (Steve Martin) as he meets chatty Del Griffith (John Candy) after his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a snowstorm. The duo's attempt to return from a business trip in time for Thanksgiving dinner leads to self-discovery. Together they must overcome the craziness of holiday travel to reach their intended destination.

4. Home for the Holidays (1995) – This comedy-drama was directed by Jodie Foster, and boasts an all-star cast which includes Robert Downey Jr., Dylan McDermott and Claire Danes as they delve into the stresses of gathering with one's family during the holidays. After losing her job, making out with her soon-to-be former boss and finding out that her daughter plans to spend Thanksgiving with her boyfriend, Claudia Larson faces spending the holiday with her family and that's when the antics heat up. This is definitely an entertaining Thanksgiving movie.
5. The Blind Side (2009) – Sandra Bullock plays the wealthy, no-nonsense, Southern mom Leigh Anne Tuohy who takes in a homeless football prodigy Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), who eventually becomes a first-round NFL draft pick. The movie is based on a true story and does a great job at bringing together a family. One of the more memorable scenes starts with Tuohy's clan sitting down for a take-out type of Thanksgiving dinner in front of a loud TV, then ends with Oher being instrumental in bringing the family together for quality time, filled with laughs and great conversation.

New iBot Wheelchair from Toyota and Deka
May 23, 2016 By Jack M. Robinson Leave a Comment
A New Generation of iBot Wheelchair Will Be Launched by Toyota and Deka
STATES CHRONICLE – A new motorized iBot wheelchair is the project of a partnership between Toyota Motor North America and Deka Research and Development. The two companies have just signed a collaboration to create a new type of iBot wheelchair.
This wheelchair will be the second generation of iBot, a concept of mobility assistance for the physically impaired.
Deka is a company specializing in "creative solutions for modern problems;" with this new agreement the company can complete the developmental process for the next generation iBot wheelchair. The founder of Deka is Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway and a 2014 FDA-approved arm replacement mind-controlled prosthetic.
The agreement between Dean's company and the Japanese corporation involves licensing balanced technologies held by Deka that Toyota will use for medical, rehabilitative treatments and probably other purposes.
The first concept of the wheelchair was marketed 16 years ago, but because of its prohibiting $25,000 price tag, the production was forced to cancel in 2009.
This new device comes with two sets of wheels that can operate in two configurations. Instead of the conventional design of two bigger wheels balanced by a smaller set, this novelty concept comes with two identical electric driven all-terrain built wheels. Another one of iBot's motors raises the user at six feet height level, approximately 1.8 meters.
At the moment, even the most high-tech wheelchairs don't have the technology Deka wants to build into the iBot wheelchair. Most wheelchairs on the market have issues with the rigid frame or the wheels that prevent users from having a relatively ordinary life. The majority of them also require home adjustments.
The Segway inventor wants to see its life-long dream become a reality with this new iBot wheelchair concept and eliminate all the issues the motorized wheelchairs have. Kamen says the collaboration with Toyota is the result of both companies sharing the same vision of "making mobility available" to as many people as possible.
The last decade has brought changes to our urban environments to adapt to the physically impaired, but we still have a long way to go to complete the challenges of those of us having a physically restricted lifestyle.
Dean's dream of bringing the next generation high-tech iBot wheelchair to market might be the answer to the freedom and flexibility prayers of a lot of people.

Twitter Files For Initial Public Offering
RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
NPR's business news begins with hashtag, IPO.
(SOUNDBITE OF THEME MUSIC)
MONTAGNE: Twitter has filed for its initial public stock offering. It made the announcement yesterday with a tweet. Interested investors will have to wait a while to see what's in the filing because the company submitted the plan confidentially.
NPR's Laura Sydell reports.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: Though we can't see it, chances are good that Twitter's filing is longer than 140 characters. Twitter was able to file confidentially with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a statute passed in 2012, aimed at companies with less than a billion dollars in revenue.
Stephen Diamond, a professor at Santa Clara University Law School, says the idea is that it allows what are called emerging companies an opportunity to fix filing mistakes before facing public scrutiny.
STEPHEN DIAMOND: Then during the confidential review process under way with the SEC, Twitter could work out those problems.
SYDELL: Twitter's choice to use this strategy may have something to do with what happened when Facebook publicly filed for its IPO.
DIAMOND: The problem was that as Facebook was rolling out the prospectus for its IPO, its business model was running into problems - particularly with respect to advertising revenues generated by mobile.
SYDELL: Diamond says Facebook was then in the embarrassing position of having to make changes to its filing with the press and public watching.
The law that let Twitter stay confidential is called the Jumpstart Our Business Startups. The idea behind the law was to encourage companies to go public by diminishing some of the paperwork connected with the process.
But the downside says Columbia Law Professor John Coffee is that without the extra public scrutiny businesses may actually be emboldened to overstate their profits.
JOHN COFFEE: Remember that the SEC is a body that's underfunded, overworked and strained to its capacity. They don't catch everything.
SYDELL: Twitter doesn't have to reveal its filing until 21 days before it goes on the road to answer questions for investors. But, it will be able to say that the SEC didn't find any problems. The actual date of the public offering has not been announced.

High-yield credit has had a banner 2018 as technical flows, fundamental factors, and good economic growth aligned. But its buoyant performance could quickly capsize under the overall growth of the debt market, tight spreads, lofty net leverage, event risk, and a tidal wave of coming maturities. While there's certainly reason to recommend select exposures in the segment, a highly asymmetric broader risk/reward profile shouldn't be underestimated

Frontiers in Plant Science
Seagrass meadows commonly reside in shallow sheltered embayments typical of the locations that provide an attractive option for mooring boats. Given the potential for boat moorings to result in disturbance to the seabed due to repeated physical impact, these moorings may present a significant threat to seagrass meadows. The seagrass Zostera marina (known as eelgrass) is extensive across the northern hemisphere, forming critical fisheries habitat and creating efficient long-term stores of carbon in sediments. Although boat moorings have been documented to impact seagrasses, studies to date have been conducted on the slow growing Posidonia species' rather than the fast growing and rapidly reproducing Z. marina that may have a higher capacity to resist and recover from repeated disturbance. In the present study we examine swinging chain boat moorings in seagrass meadows across a range of sites in the United Kingdom to determine whether such moorings have a negative impact on the seagrass Zostera marina at the local and meadow scale. We provide conclusive evidence from multiple sites that Z. marina is damaged by swinging chain moorings leading to a loss of at least 6 ha of United Kingdom seagrass. Each swinging chain mooring was found to result in the loss of 122 m2 of seagrass. Loss is restricted to the area surrounding the mooring and the impact does not appear to translate to a meadow scale. This loss of United Kingdom seagrass from boat moorings is small but significant at a local scale. This is because it fragments existing meadows and ultimately reduces their resilience to other stressors. Boat moorings are prevalent in seagrass globally and it is likely this impairs their ecosystem functioning. Given the extensive ecosystem service value of seagrasses in terms of factors such as carbon storage and fish habitat such loss is of cause for concern. This indicates the need for the widespread use of seagrass friendly mooring systems in and around seagrass.

New Hope for TPS Recipients From Four Countries, Including Haiti
InImmigration News
In an unexpected move, the Trump administration has extended temporary protection status (TPS) for Nicaraguan, Sudanese, Salvadoran and Haitian immigrants already in the United States. The extension was announced on February 28, 2019, by the Department of Homeland Security and will extend TPS until January 2020. Over 300,000 people will be affected by this extension, which was prompted by a preliminary injunction granted by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of the Northern District of California. Individuals from other countries, however, will not benefit from this decision, which is limited only to immigrants from the four countries listed.
No Help for Venezuelan Refugees
Immigrants and refugees fleeing the horrifying conditions currently in place in Venezuela are hoping that similar protections will be extended to them.

Portfolio of 10. Andy Warhol created John Wayne 377 in 1986 for his Cowboys and Indians portfolio. John Wayne was an iconic fixture in films about the American west and represented the ideal leading macho man in Hollywood's prime. Many considered him an All-American hero. Warhol was fascinated by celebrity myths and the ways in which stories are represented by the media. This allure led Warhol to create his series Cowboys and Indians portfolio as a statement to the myth of the American West. He took recognizable images of western tokens, such as this image of John Wayne, interspersed them with images of Native American culture in his ironic commentary on the mythologizing of the historic West. Warhol's depiction of John Wayne completely removes him from his true identity, Marion Mitchell Morrison, instead remembering him only as the heroic cowboy, gun in hand. Andy Warhol's Cowboys and Indians and John Wayne represent the ahistorical interpretation of the American West that continues to dominate in American popular culture.
