Randolph-area coalition plans for child care center off I-89
RANDOLPH — A few years back when the town of Randolph surveyed area employers and workers about what they thought the community needed to advance the town’s goals for economic development, both groups said more child care was a top priority.
It was “amazing how there was common ground,” Adolfo Bailon, Randolph’s town manager, said in a Wednesday phone interview.
A group of area residents, business leaders and early educators now have plans for a new child care center to serve between 80 and 90 children, ranging from infants to preschoolers, in the vacant lower building of Vermont Technical College’s Enterprise Center located off Route 66 near Interstate 89.
The plans presented to community members at a virtual meeting last month would have the White River Junction-based Green Mountain Economic Development Corp. purchase the roughly 10,700-square-foot building, while the Tunbridge-based Orange County Parent Child Center would run it.
The real estate and program startup costs are slated to total about $3 million, said Robert Haynes, executive director of the Green Mountain Economic Development Corp. Haynes said the facility should be ready to open in the summer of 2022, once renovations are complete and staff have been hired and trained.
“At this point, the project has real momentum,” said Reeva Sullivan Murphy, a Stowe, Vt.-based early care and learning consultant on the project.
Murphy is working with the parent child center to fine-tune the business plan for the Randolph program. She estimated that the new center will employ 29 people, some part time. In the future, she said, it could serve as a training site for students studying early education at VTC in Randolph Center or at the Randolph Technical Career Center.
“In rural areas, (the) best way to get really qualified people is to grow your own,” she said.
The Orange County Parent Child Center currently operates a program on Route 110 in Tunbridge that is licensed for 60 children in five classrooms with 15 teachers, said Mary Ellen Otis, the organization’s director. Numbers have dipped during the pandemic, she said.
In addition to child care, OCPCC also provides home visiting programs, as well as support and education for parents, free produce days and access to a diaper bank. The organization is among five family resource centers in the Upper Valley to receive a total of more than $500,000 in multi-year grants from the Couch Family Foundation, which the foundation, created by the founders of Hanover-based Hypertherm, announced this week in a news release.
At OCPCC, the Couch Family funds allow the organization to have a child life specialist on site in Tunbridge 24 hours a week, Otis said. The specialist runs a parent support group and helps teachers at the center create plans for children who are facing specific challenges.
OCPCC aims to bring the same services to Randolph that it has in Tunbridge and to operate both sites once the Randolph location opens, Otis said.
The Tunbridge program has just one room for infants and one for toddlers, but the Randolph program is slated to have two of each to address the area’s demand for care for younger children, Otis said. A needs assessment conducted by the Randolph task force found that 79% of infants, 51% of toddlers and 43% of preschoolers likely to need care in the Randolph area don’t have access to a full-day, year-round program.
Orange County as a whole needs an additional 288 infant spots, 93 toddler spots and 213 preschooler spots to meet demand, according to a January 2020 report, before the COVID-19 pandemic, by the statewide nonprofit Let’s Grow Kids. Care for infants also is hard to find in Windsor County, which the report found needed an additional 336 infant spots to meet demand, as well as 72 spots for toddlers and 73 for preschoolers.
Let’s Grow Kids, which has offices in Montpelier and Burlington, has so far supported the Randolph effort with technical assistance in helping to move the idea to reality, as well as $58,000 to hire the consultant and to help support preliminary site work, said Sherry Carlson, the organization’s chief programs officer.
“There was a community approach that really provided strength to the project,” Carlson said.
She noted that Randolph is one of five or six communities around the state that are working to develop local child care solutions. Though community-based solutions like Randolph’s are a positive step, Carlson said systemic investment is necessary to fully address the state’s child care needs. Access to high-quality child care shouldn’t depend on where people live, she said.
To that end, Let’s Grow Kids is looking to the Legislature in hopes that it will move forward with HB 171, she said. As introduced, the bill — which the House Committee on Human Services approved unanimously on Tuesday — would gradually increase the upper income limit for families who qualify for a state subsidy for child care so that by 2026 families would not have to spend more than 10% of their income on child care. It also would increase wages for workers and support their education through scholarships and a loan repayment program.
The Randolph project’s leaders said they’re hopeful that investments such as those included in the legislation will help their project and others like it to succeed.
Damian DiNicola, a Randolph parent and member of the community task force working on the project, described child care as “critical infrastructure for our towns.” Like roads or utilities, he said, child care is essential to society and the economy.
“I’m hoping this helps form a model that other towns and areas in rural places can use,” he said.

As hard as it may sound, children are living in crisis as I write this post and it honestly breaks my heart. There are Syrian children who are living under harsh conditions in refugee camps who just want to go home to a world they once knew and there are also children who are running from severe violence in the Central African Republic and don’t know where to turn. Children in West Africa have lost both of their parents and even extended family members during the Ebola crisis and are completely lost and there are also children in the Ukraine who hear and see massive shelling every day and witness unthinkable things that are extremely difficult for adults to handle.
Even last year Save the Children released a report about Motherhood in Crisis. If mothers are in crisis, so are their children. According to the report, “over 60 million women and children are in need of humanitarian assistance.”

HUD AWARDS MORE THAN $36 MILLION TO SUPPORT PUBLIC HOUSING AND NATIVE AMERICAN RESIDENTS IN ACHIEVING ECONOMIC AND HOUSING STABILITY
WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the award of $36.9 million to public housing authorities, public housing resident associations, Native American tribes, and nonprofit organizations across the nation. Grantees will use these Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) grant funds to hire and/or retain Service Coordinators to assist public and Native American housing families meet their professional, financial, health, and educational goals. In so doing, ROSS Service Coordinators will help remove barriers so that residents can improve their economic mobility, health outcomes, and overall quality of life. View a complete list of organizations receiving funding.
"We are excited to work with our local housing partners to help public housing residents find jobs and opportunities that will propel them forward," said HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge. "The funding announced today will help residents reach their goals and dreams tomorrow."
The ROSS grant is a place-based program designed to assist residents make progress towards economic and housing self-sufficiency. Service Coordinators provide case management, assess residents' needs, and work in partnership with local service providers to fulfill those needs. Service Coordinators provide a critical service to residents by helping to remove barriers that can stand in the way of progress. They also work with seniors and people with disabilities to ensure they receive the medical care and social supports required to age and remain in place, thereby avoiding costlier forms of care.
HUD's mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.

Solitary is an interesting theme for a photo challenge. it something many people feel they are, and many are proud to be. I am in awe of people who find themselves good enough company to be alone for any period of time, since I have to be around people 24/7. I struggle with solitude, and I am aware how badly this reflects on my self-confidence.
I took this photo of a gull in Venice. he was sitting on this post, looking out onto the busy waters. Calm and content with his own company among the throng of people, reminding me that even when you are surrounded by lots of people, even then, you can still feel very much alone.

Alumni spend eternity at college
Colleges cash in on campus crypts
LOS ANGELES -- The rooms in this college dorm have no electricity, no running water, and ceilings that are just 11 inches high. But the residents don't mind. They're dead.
Draped in sky-blue marble, the honeycombed structure -- which is tucked behind a set of spooky glowing stones at Chapman University in Orange, Calif. -- is designed to house the cremated ashes of alumni, faculty, and pets.
The mini-cemetery is part of a small but growing trend on college campuses.
This summer, Notre Dame will unveil a pair of limestone and brick mausoleums laced with full-body crypts selling for as much as $11,000.
And the Citadel military college in South Carolina is adding 400 urn niches to a carillon tower that holds one of the Western Hemisphere's biggest collections of Dutch bells.
The University of Southern California is also studying the idea of campus tombs for a proposed multifaith chapel.
Think of it as continuing ed for the dead -- or the ultimate college reunion.
In today's mobile society, some people feel more connected to their alma mater than to their hometown, said cemetery consultant Mel Malkoff, who oversees Chapman's columbarium and is working on similar projects with other schools.
"People look back on their college years and say, `Those were the best days of my life,' " Malkoff said. "Why not spend eternity there?"
Hoping to cash in on such sentiments, some universities don't stop with enrollment space. They also offer custom urns -- or coffins blessed by monks.
As odd as such practices might sound, they're rooted in the past. College graveyards were once fairly common, said historian David Sloane of USC, author of "The Last Great Necessity: Cemeteries in American History."
In the early 1800s, before embalming became widespread, it was often impractical to ship home the body of a deceased student or professor.
Iowa State University's 131-year-old dead zone holds about 800 corpses, mostly faculty but also two students, a night watchman, and his dog.
Notre Dame's sprawling burial ground debuted in 1843, one year after the school was founded, along with a mortuary that helped subsidize tuition costs.
By the late 20th century, many longtime college cemeteries were languishing. The University of Virginia's 1828 graveyard ran out of room in the early 1960s, said Dr. Dearing Johns, a cardiology professor who heads the school's cemetery committee.
School officials decided against expanding it -- until an alum who wanted to be buried on campus suggested a columbarium wall and paid for the construction with three friends.
"It's a great way to generate money," said columbarium chief Andrea Patenaude of the University of Richmond, which recently transformed a sliver of campus into a million-dollar serpentine wall carved with 2,900 niches priced at $3,000 each. A spider logo, depicting the school's mascot, climbs the bamboo gate leading to the wall.
Duke University is charging $25,000 a pop to bury ashes in its new 2-acre memorial garden. Part of the motivation for Duke's program was that people had begun scattering ashes there on the sly.
The profits will help finance the school's vast public gardens.
Chapman's dorm for the dead, with prices ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 per two-urn chamber, was built to help fund the school's new chapel. A meditative garden leads to the memorial, which sits behind a wall of white onyx that is illuminated from within to symbolize "the elusive separation between the living and the dead, a separation of a single breath," according to designer Susan Narduli.
Colleges aren't the only institutions offering alternative burial space.
A German soccer team recently announced plans to open a public cemetery next to its stadium, according to news reports.
A similar idea was floated in San Diego a decade ago, when a businessman urged the Padres baseball team to install 70,000 cremation niches in the outfield wall of its new park.
Despite a potential windfall of $175 million, Padres management balked at the proposal.

I study the responses of natural systems to human impacts such as species invasion, habitat destruction, fishing pressure, etc. I am particularly interested in how these activities influence biodiversity within species (i.e., the diversity of functional traits seen within species). The overarching goal of my research is to improve our ability to predict the responses of populations and communities to future human impacts. I generally take a bottom up mechanistic approach, determining how behavior, physiology, and morphology facilitate or constrain the responses of individuals to environmental change, and how those individual level responses then scale up to establish patterns and processes at the population and community levels. I do this using a variety of approaches, including field observations, field and laboratory experiments, physiological measurements, and computer simulation modeling.
While addressing questions of environmental change described above, my research simultaneously provides insight into fundamental aspects of organismal biology and physiology and into consumer foraging that is central to all ecological communities. Finally, my research also addresses areas where results can be applied to enhance management and conservation efforts.

The Four Mile uranium mine in South Australia officially opened last month. According to Australia media, the uranium will cost $40 a pound to produce while the market price is $28 a pound. The mine is owned by Quasar Resources, which is part of San Diego's General Atomics. Another company has 25 percent of Four Mile, but wants to get out of the deal. First, it sued, but then the two companies settled on terms that have not been publicized.
So Quasar and General Atomics will absorb fat losses, unless there is some subsidy arrangement that has not been revealed. General Atomics has another Australia uranium producer, Heathgate Resources, which has been losing a bundle of money.
The quality of Four Mile uranium is supposedly superior to that produced in other mines. General Atomics is hoping for higher uranium prices to make its mines profitable.
Uranium prices plummeted 50 percent after the meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant in 2011.

Lots of questions about people not being able to submit scores, but I can't find a document that tells me how to attempt to submit a score.
Since there's no information, I'm assuming I have to install the Stardock central program that the system tried to push on me when I registered. Could someone at least confirm that?
With all the firewall issues, you'd think Stardock would find a better way to do this. Heck, I'd rather zip up the entire game and email it in than punch a hole in my firewall for some a$$h*** to attempt to damage my computer through.
Well, I won't hold my breath waiting for a response. Don't seem to be too many new threads. Probably everyone's planing GC2 now, except me. I'm always a few years behind.
When you finish a game while having an internet connection you are asked if you want to submit. You need to use exactly the same name there and exactly the same email which you used to register your game and your player.
The game uses the proxy/internet settings of the Internet Explorer.

Playing live dealer blackjack tables puts you in front of the world’s most popular card-based casino game with real, human dealers.
Blackjack gets a lot of attention because of the stories of card counters being able to beat the house with a tremendous amount of skill. It’s common knowledge that these techniques cannot be used in regular online games because the deck or shoe is shuffled after each hand, and card counting and other related techniques require that a shoe is used that deals out several hands before reshuffling. In the case of live dealer blackjack games, you have an opportunity to get games that meet these requisites straight from your computer or mobile device.
The Rules Used at Live Dealer Tables
While there are basic rules that drive every blackjack game, there are a ton of different rule variations that exist for both small and large parts of the game. Whether the dealer hits on a soft 17 might not make that big of a deal, but knowing whether or not you can double on any two cards or just on a 9, 10 or 11 can be a game-changer for your strategy. While the exact rule set that is used with each games provider and with each style of blackjack from each provider can vary a bit, here is what you can expect in general:
- Multi-deck blackjack games are almost always what are used because of the ability to use a shoe to cut down on shuffling times. This usually involves eight decks.
- You won’t find many live dealer blackjack tables that pay 2:1 for blackjack. Instead, you’ll usually get a 3:2 payout, which is much better than the 6:5 you’ll often find in brick-and-mortar games.
- Splitting is generally limited to just one time per hand. This is due to the limited space for the format of the games themselves.
- Surrendering is virtually never an option at these tables.
Aside from these particulars, the rules that you can find can vary quite a bit. This means you’ll want to take a look at what the exact rules are for any given table before you start, even if you’ve played with it before, so that you can make sure you’re prepared to make adjustments from a strategic point of view.
Player and Dealer Interaction
A big part of the live dealer casino experience that you miss out on when you play regular online games is the social interaction with the dealer and your fellow players. With live blackjack online, you’ll get an opportunity to chat it up, tip your dealer and do everything else you normally would if you were playing in a brick-and-mortar game. This is a big deal because the social aspect of blackjack is really huge, and many people don’t really like regular online tables because of the inability to meet people and talk about how the hands are going.
Opportunities for Card Counting
As we mentioned up above, live dealer blackjack tables offer a chance for card counting, which is a way that highly skilled players can get an advantage against the casino in different situations. It’s impossible to do unless you have a game with a shoe where several hands are dealt before a reshuffle, and that’s the case with almost all live dealer options for blackjack.
The statistic that matters the most for card counters is the idea of “penetration,” which is how far into the shoe the dealer goes until the cards are reshuffled or a new shoe is brought in to deal from. This is taken as a percentage of the shoe, so if dealers went until three-fourths of the shoe had been dealt, then it would be said to have a penetration of 75 percent. In almost all live dealer blackjack games, you’ll have a penetration of around 50 percent. This is not ideal for card counters since a deeper penetration is preferred, but it does offer opportunities for skilled blackjack players to get the house advantage down even lower and to find some spots where they may have an advantage against the house.
Other Options for Live Dealer Blackjack Play
There are a few options for play with online live dealer tables that you won’t get when you play in brick-and-mortar or traditional online blackjack games, and these options really add a different level of depth to what’s available.
One atypical option is that you have the ability to simply bet along with another player’s actions. You get to choose your own bet size, but you’ll make a hit, stand, double, split, etc. as the other player would playing his or her own hand. You’ll get the same result of winning or losing as that player, but you don’t have to actually play out the hands. This is very useful if you aren’t necessarily as comfortable with the strategic aspect of blackjack because if you see another player who is doing well, you can ride their wins and losses for yourself.
Another option that changes up the game a bit is that you can jump in and out of games whenever you want. You don’t have to start at the beginning of a shoe like you would in brick-and-mortar games a lot of the time, but the action still carries on if you aren’t playing, which is different than how things go with typical online games.
The Differences Between Online and Live Dealer Blackjack
- Live dealer blackjack tables use a shoe that has an actual penetration instead of reshuffling the deck after every hand like regular online games.
- The social atmosphere of the live blackjack tables is substantial while it’s completely missing for typical online play.
- You have a more narrow set of available rules with live tables because they’re all multi-deck games with similar rule sets, but traditional online games give you more of a variety of different styles of play.
Blackjack is one of the games that benefits the most from having live dealer tables available. It adds a social element to what’s available, and it offers an experience that’s almost identical to brick-and-mortar games with extra options added on. Overall, it’s a great way to play if you love the game, and it offers an experience that combines the best of traditional live venues and the typical online environment.

WWE is looking forward to presenting a stacked episode for Smackdown, next week as we get closer to the annual Extreme Rules PPV event. A huge title match and a tag team match from the women’s division have now been made official for the show to build the hypes for the July 19th special show on the WWE Network.
WWE has confirmed that SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day – Big E and Kofi Kingston will defend their championships against Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura during next Friday’s SmackDown on FOX episode.
As seen in a June episode of Smackdown, Cesaro and Nakamura won a non-title bout over Kofi Kingston and Big E. They cut a promo mentioning they won’t be overlooked, anymore, that suggested for the first time that WWE is probably using in the tag title picture. Additionally, this week’s SmackDown co-main-event match saw Nakamura defeat Kofi in singles action.
Following these back to back wins, it was just a matter of time that the heel duo would get a shot at the tag titles and they did get so within a week. Previously, the NXT debutants The Forgotten Sons were involved in a feud with The New Day on Smackdown for the titles. But a racial controversy forced WWE to keep them off the TV.
Apart from this title match, a huge tag team match will also go down from the women’s division. A non-title match will go down with Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss taking on the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions – Sasha Banks and SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley.
With Nikki Cross becoming the new number one contender for the title held by Bayley, the rift over these two teams will continue through this summer. Previously, Bliss lost a chance to gain back the Women’s Title at Backlash in a multi-woman match.
WWE also announced that next week’s show will witness a replay of the Money In the Bank singles match between Bray Wyatt and WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman. The Firefly Funhouse version of Wyatt failed to capture the Universal Title from Strowman on that show. At Extreme Rules, Wyatt faces Strowman in a non-title Wyatt Swamp Fight.

Finally posting this after days of allowing my words to linger in “drafts”. I saw these two quotes as I was unwinding from an incredibly long, anxiety filled day. This just feels right.
“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.” – Brene Brown
I took a break this week from writing because life got “too real”, and really hard, for a while and I didn’t have words to put to what I was feeling. I still quite don’t but I want to try.
Right now I feel lonely. I feel lonely all the time. I feel lonely even when I’m surrounded by people that I love and care about and I know they care about me too. I’ve been trying to stay busy and to surround myself with friends and fun but, even when I’m seeming like I’m having fun, this miserable mindset winds up creeping to the forefront. And then abruptly, nearly the instant I’m alone, it’s like as quickly as my fingers can snap, I feel defeated, isolated, disengaged. My mind goes into a compete frenzy and things start moving so quickly it feels like I can’t keep up. It’s like children are bouncing a ball on a playground (inside my mind) and the instant my eyes track the ball it bounces someplace else. That’s what overwhelmed feels like to me. And then like an elevator dropping flights too quickly, I hit rock bottom. That feels quiet and cold.
I’ve been noticing there’s a deep and loud sense of “wanting” that I can’t shake. And, I find myself continually “missing” something. It feels like I’ll never it get back. In a way, I’m grieving that type of loss. I’ve lost the spaces where I felt supported, confident, and like I had a purpose. I feel like I’ve lost control and I’m losing sight of myself over and over again. I get this feeling multiple times a day. And every glimpse of normalcy that I encounter quickly diminishes and is replaced by intense, immobilizing sadness and isolation. I can’t recognize myself anymore and, in moments where I feel like I’ve “found me” I too quickly remind myself that this won’t last long. Usually this feeling lasts just about as long as it takes to take a deep, satisfying breath and realize that for a moment I can breathe again. That realization makes even a glimpse seem like I’m watching someone else’s life from the sidelines. I miss my support networks – those things gave me more than I ever realized at the time. Those things kept me going.
And these days it’s more about “keeping up appearances” or “putting on a show” than anything else because I just can’t escape my own head. I can’t ignore what I’m experiencing. This feeling is so absolutely pervasive, so persistent. Now that I’ve given just the smallest amount of attention to and named these feelings I’m experiencing major flooding. For example, I’ll be reading for school and suddenly find myself just completely exhausted because I’m not even reading I’m just staring blankly at the page, flipping mindlessly. Slowly my pace will crawl to a halt. That’s when I realize I feel so bad I can’t even focus on my work. In those moments, I’m not even focusing on how badly I feel, I’m simply numb. My mind is blank and dark.
In an intentional effort to ignore these feelings and seek control I’m justifying and encouraging myself to add more obligations, responsibilities, and commitments or to harness control in any aspect of my life I can. Then I grip tightly so I don’t lose that thing too. I’m slowly shutting myself down completely. It’s no wonder I haven’t been able to write anything recently. I spend my days feeling so small and then I perpetuate this feeling, let it sink in, by minimizing my these negative feelings, telling myself “it’s not that bad”, expecting to just “tough it out”, and not attending to the experience I’m having.
I am taking this moment to admit that this is real and it is really hard. I’m taking this moment to own this. I am struggling.

This comes as no surprise when one says that the fandom of Mahesh Babu is unbeatable and continues to multiply on a huge scale, with each passing day. The latest release of the superstar, Sarileru Neekevvaru even led to a hattrick of hits delivered by Mahesh Babu. Mahesh babu is the biggest and most succesful pan-India star with a massive following, beyond borders and geographies.
Sarileru Neekevvaru got telecasted on Gemini TV on the occasion of Ugadi. The film garnered a record TRP which is the highest ever for any Telugu film. The film got 23.4 TVR which is huge and much higher than Baahubali: The Conclusion which got 22.70 TVR and Baahubali: The Beginning which got 21.84 TVR. This proves that it’s never a dull moment watching their favourite superstar on-screen and never missing a chance!
After the new rating system was introduced, this is an all-time record of viewership on Telugu TV. Not even Baahubali movies had achieved such a huge viewership. The movie has received the highest TRP ever, owing to the wide appeal that Mahesh Babu holds!
The interesting storyline gripped the attention of the audiences and the role of an army officer essayed by Mahesh Babu was appreciated by all. The dialogue delivery was intense and gave an emotion of pride. The top-notch action sequences were highlights of the film. The dose of comedy made the film a perfect combination of love, action, comedy and drama.
Mahesh Babu plays the role of Major Ajay Krishna, who is an orphan serving the Indian Army in Kashmir. His colleague, also named Ajay, gets injured in a mission and he has to go to Kurnool to convey the news to Ajay’s mother Bharati. During the journey, he comes across Samskriti, and also gets involved in a tussle with MLA Nagendra. How he manages to solve all these problems forms the rest of the story.
Sarileru Neekevvaru stands on the top of the list when it comes to TRP ratings. Mahesh Babu proved his magic, once again even on the small screen with Sarileru Neekevvaru. The racy action entertainer is directed by Anil Ravipudi and Vijayashanthi, Prakash Raj played other Devi Sri Prasad composed the music. Mahesh Babu and Dil Raju jointly produced Sarileru Neekevvaru.

on the post 2015 development agenda as well as international negotiations on climate change.
- Both sides reiterated their resolute opposition to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and committed themselves to cooperate on counter-terrorism. They also emphasized the need to implement all relevant UN resolutions, in particular UNSC resolutions
1267, 1373, 1540 and 1624.
- Premier Li Keqiang, on behalf of the Chinese government and people, expressed his appreciation to the government and people of India for their warm hospitality. Premier Li Keqiang invited Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to visit China at a mutually convenient
time and Prime Minister Singh accepted the invitation with pleasure. The dates of the visit will be decided through diplomatic channels.

Last week, Honeywell announced one of the most important program wins in our aerospace communications history. We have secured the exclusive rights to develop and manufacture Ka band satellite communications terminals that will enable users to connect to Inmarsat’s GX Aviation network. Honeywell’s antenna system and service will change the global aerospace communications industry enabling higher-bandwidth airborne connectivity for the commercial air transport and business and general aviation markets.
So, why is Ka band such a big deal? To put it in simple terms it should enable 10 times the data at a fraction of the cost of current alternatives - operating at a much higher frequency spectrum than L or Ku band where most of the satcom systems of today operate. Customers will benefit from a whole range of cabin and cockpit solutions that up until now had been out of range because communications links were either too expensive or too slow. The service will particularly benefit international air transport passengers enabling reliable in-flight connectivity for their iPads, smart phones and tablet devices, similar to what some North American airlines have started to offer on domestic routes.
Several Honeywell sites will provide technological expertise for our Ka band program. Antennas will be developed in Norcross, GA and Ottawa, Canada; Avionics in Ottawa and Tewkesbury, UK – legacy EMS Technologies sites. The win reflects the first fruits of the EMS acquisition and leverages the technology strengths of EMS with the market reach, service and support of Honeywell.
Look for further updates on this program in the coming months as we work to define our offering, including a variant of the system for the Defense & Space market sector.

Sometimes the simplest things really are the best things.
A good book. A great cup of coffee. Bach (or the Beatles) on the stereo. And breakfast.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
I adore breakfast. I start thinking about it just as I drift off to sleep the night before. In January, most of us need something good to look forward to, so I always try to make a really good breakfast on these bone-chilling mornings.
Both of these recipes call for canned coconut milk, which is a pantry staple in my house. It adds a bit of luxury to both recipes, and I think we could all use a little bit of luxury on these cold, dark days.
The Chia Pudding is a quick make-ahead breakfast that the kids (and adults) can just grab and go if need be. Those small mason jars are the perfect vessels for such an occasion.
The Creamy Coconut Breakfast Barley is hearty and comforting, the way a hot breakfast cereal should be. It’s certainly going to give the old oatmeal a shove out of rotation. Look out Quaker — there’s a new kid in town!
Coconut Chia Pudding with Blueberry Ginger Compote
Chia seeds are the darling of the health food world, and deservedly so. They’re neat little guys, full of antioxidants, heart-healthy minerals, fibre and omega-3s. They also absorb a tonne of liquid and don’t really taste like much on their own, which makes them great to play around with when it comes to puddings. This version is gluten- and dairy-free, plus I’ve added lime juice and maple syrup as well as a dash of ground star anise for mega flavour. Cooked down with a little bit of sugar and grated ginger, the blueberry compote has a little zing that complements the chia pudding.
COCONUT CHIA PUDDING
1 (14 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 limes, grated zest and juice of
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground star anise, cardamom or cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
BLUEBERRY GINGER COMPOTE
2 cups frozen blueberries
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp water
- To make the pudding, place all the ingredients except the chia seeds and pistachios in a blender. Blend until smooth. Place the chia seeds in a medium bowl. Pour the coconut mixture over the chia and stir well. After 10 minutes, stir again (this helps prevent lumps). After another 10 minutes, stir again. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about three hours before serving.
- Meanwhile, prepare the compote. Place all the compote ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until the berries are slightly jammy, 10—12 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the compote cool down to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until needed. This can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
- To serve, spoon the chia pudding into serving dishes (or small mason jars) and top with blueberry compote. Garnish with chopped pistachios. The chia puddings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days Serves 4-6.

Creamy Coconut Breakfast Barley
I love a good porridge, but sometimes oatmeal can seem a bit stodgy and unsatisfying. To shake things up, I’ve been making this breakfast barley with coconut milk and it’s just what I want in a hot cereal: comforting, filling, and delicious. The barley is toothsome and nutty, and a fantastic counterpoint to the tart pomegranate seeds and nuts. A drizzle of maple syrup is the perfect finishing touch, though a sprinkling of brown sugar would make an acceptable substitute.
1 cup pearl barley
1 (14 oz/400 mL) can coconut milk
1/4 tsp ground cardamom or cinnamon
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup maple syrup
- Rinse the barley in a fine mesh strainer. Add the barley, one cup of water and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. When the water is almost absorbed, after five minutes or so, stir in 1/2 cup of coconut milk and the cardamom. Gently simmer and stir occasionally, just like if you were making a risotto. Continue to add the coconut milk 1/2 cup at a time until the barley is cooked through but still al dente. If the barley isn’t soft enough for you, add a bit more water and continue simmering until it reaches the desired doneness.
- Divide the creamy barley between four bowls. Garnish with the pomegranate seeds, nuts and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve hot. Makes four servings.
Note: The barley keeps well in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, add a bit more water or milk to loosen it up.

Network Earth Rotation Service
The Network Earth Rotation Service (NERS)is
an on-line tool for dissemination of the Earth's orientation parameter
that describes irregularity in the Earth's rotation that are determined
from observations and partly from numerical weather models. The service
provides an automatic access to the parameter that describes the Earth's
rotation from 1976.01.01 through 48 hours in the future.
Since the irregularities in the Earth's rotation are caused by motion
of the hydrosphere and the atmosphere no deterministic model can describe
them with the accuracy comparable with accuracy of observations. The Earth's
rotation is constantly monitored by space geodesy observations.
The NERS assimilates the results of data analysis of
Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Global Navigation Satellite
Systems, and the output of numerical models, computes short term EOP forecast,
takes the long-term EOP forecast distributed by the Paris Observatory and
distributed the results in a form convenient for users. See the
acknowledgment section for the list of agencies that
provides the results of data analysis used by the NERS.
See the Earth rotation explained for a discussion
about variations in the Earth's rotation.
Using the Network Earth rotation service.
This project is supported by NASA
Earth Surface & Interior program, grant NNX15AC10G.
- The atmospheric
angular momentum on-line service. The exchange angular momentum
between the lithosphere, atmosphere, and the ocean is one of the
factors that cause irregularities in the Earth's rotation.
- Web interface
to the Network Earth Rotation Service. It displays
selected parameters of the Earth's rotation at the specified epoch.
- Real time Earth
rotation service. Shows the Earth orientation now based
on the forecast. The forecast rms errors of the Earth orientation
parameters at the current moment:
1.1 nrad for components 1,2 (polar motion) and
2.5 nrad for component 3 (axial component, or UT1),
which corresponds to 7 and 16 mm at the Earth's surface
- Generate Earth orientation parameter
series with a specified time range and specified time step.
- Current latency of the NERS.
The contribution of the following agencies is used by the NERS:
- IAA — Institute of Applied Astronomy
provides estimates of UT1 angle from Russian Intensive VLBI experiments.
- NASA GSFC VLBI group — provides
UT1 and polar motion from 24 hour and IVS intensive VLBI experiments
- Paris observatory —
provides the C04 time series and long term EOP prediction.
- IGS — International Global Navigation Satellite Services
rapid and ultra-rapid estimates of the polar motion.
— Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) provides estimates of polar motion.
- GMAO NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office
provides the output of assimilation numerical weather model and short-term weather
- Astrogeo Center provides quarterly solution with
estimates of harmonic variations of the Earth orientation parameters from
processing VLBI data.

One of the good things about rehearsing each week is that ensemble work gets tighter and fresher all the time. For instance, on this track from last night's practice session, listen to Joe's intricate, imaginative fills behind Michelle's vocal on this 1930's jazz standard. It's no wonder that for decades now, singers have wanted Joe Dobbs to back them up -- his fiddle is like a second voice! Then listen to how the whole mood and color of the tune changes as the ensemble brings it down to back up Doug's sweet mandolin solo in the middle of things. Then after that, the dynamic changes again as Charlie and Randy kick it up a notch to support Michelle's rousing final chorus.

Saudi- Houthi Elements Killed in Southeast of Taiz
(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency)
Taiz, Yemen, Rajab 02, 1439, March 19, 2018, SPA -- A number of members of the Houthi militia elements were killed last night in renewed fighting with the Yemeni National Army forces in Salo District, southeast of the Yemeni province of Taiz.
September Net, the electronic website run by the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, quoted field sources as saying that fierce battles renewed between the Yemeni National Army and the Houthi militias in Salo District, after an attack by the militia on the positions of the National Army. The Yemeni National Army forced the militia to withdraw and while retreating eight militia members were killed and others injured.

The professional circuit and tennis activity in general have been stopped for about a month to deal with problems related to Covid-19 that is caused by the Coronavirus. Especially in Italy, players and racquet enthusiasts are trying to resist the unbridled desire to hit that much-loved yellow ball.
But how can we fight this conditional freedom and still reap the benefits that we will find once we return to the court? One of the simplest and most immediate means that every tennis player has is undoubtedly the wall. This tool that still endures in some clubs but one which we have rediscovered as an ally of our game today – at home or in the garage – helps the non-rusting of those very basic feelings that characterize tennis.
In this article, we present the authoritative point of view of two expert technicians with regard to hitting against the wall. These experts have talked about the strengths (many) and shortcomings (few) of this form of training.
Marco Girardini, former coach of Dayana Yastremska and the current director of the Pineta di Verona Club, explains how the wall is useful at all levels, from amateurs to professionals; everyone can dedicate himself subjectively to the content to be improved, without forgetting that he is facing a severe teacher and not a teacher who "cleans" the ball to the student while facilitating the task.
“Even for beginners and young users of tennis schools the wall is an excellent friend from whom you can learn the sense of rhythm, which is closely related to learning to be familiar with the right trajectories and having to direct the ball in the right place by dosing the strength to play with; in this way you learn to train control and regularity.
Regularity that is learned by "playing" with the net and not with the opponent. “I'll explain this: On the tennis court too many times you make the mistake of placing visual attention in addition to the net while, especially on the wall, you are called to limit this error by concentrating visually on the net, which can then be brought back on the court keeping the right trajectories and the right heights above the tape”.
Marco continues: “I can focus selectively on both rebound shots and on-the-fly play, for the latter, moreover, the wall imposes obligatory self-corrections to “clean up” the technique since it is called to work better on reaction times but above all about the work the torso does and the impact one must try to be ahead of.
You can also work on the service and especially on letting go of the service, trying to dwell on the repositioning times to be ready and responsive to play what would be the third hit. “The only drawback,” Marco explains, “could be the difficulty in carrying out analytical work on rotations related more than anything else to the difficulty in maintaining a constant and continuous dribbling rhythm; for example, the top spin jumps and sprays (wide), amplifying the effect.
Marco Girardini is also echoed by Alessandro Bertoldero, coach of the young Melania Delai, in listing the advantages that can be extrapolated thanks to wall training. Alessandro explains: “The wall is exceptional for hitting many balls and consolidating technical aspects that would require the presence of a master or sparring partner on the pitch; so, when you need to work on quantity it is an excellent tool.
Many technical components can be stimulated, especially as regards the upper part of the body, also working by stimulating resistance. Furthermore, it should not be underestimated how the work of the feet, understood as intensity in the search for the ball, is amplified by the halving of the time with which the ball goes back.
An aspect on which we must pay attention from a technical point of view is linked to the times of the openings and the preparation of the racquet; it may be useful to shorten the openings to a minimum, keeping them "shorter" if there are tournaments on fast surfaces in preparation or, also in preparation for matches with opponents with great power and speed in the shots, but at the base it is always better to try to train a specific technical gesture that is as uniform as possible.
The intensity that the wall gives is unique, and for this reason both Alexander and Marco place particular emphasis on the importance of maintaining a very high attention focus; attention and concentration which is essential for training to be effective.
Also fundamental is the work on timing and synchronization of the split step and the racquet openings. From a purely physical point of view it is difficult to describe parameters that do not intersect with the technical part but those most involved, especially with increasing game levels, are primarily the aerobic component, exercised in a highly specific way since the involvement is that of muscles and kinetic chains of the game, and given the huge number of shots that can be made in a short time.
Another parameter that you train is the intensity of your feet, both in search of the ball and in having to reposition yourself to be ready for the next shot. Specific works may also concern the supports and stances with which you position yourself to impact the ball; the coach and the physical trainer can pay attention to the care of balance and stability, an indispensable requirement for the executive quality of each technical gesture.
Wall work therefore has innumerable advantages even if it is not to be considered as the panacea for all evils. It is very useful if you are unable to take the court for regular training and allows, especially in this moment of inactivity, to maintain technical confidence, timing on the ball and good specific conditioning.
It will therefore be enough to find a wall or a wall with minimum space for moving around in order not to lose the fire inside you. by MASSIMO TEDESCHI

Kid Rock performs for a sold-out crowd at the Huntington Center on Friday. The concert blended hard rock, rap, country, and rhythm and blues — and included a pair of Shriners in maroon fezzes.
BLADE/ANDY MORRISON Enlarge
Near the end of Friday night’s explosive Kid Rock concert at the Huntington Center, he was wrung out and soaked with sweat, crouched on the stage at the end of “Rock N Roll Jesus.”
He muttered a barely perceptible “whew” that only people close to the stage may have noticed, and the sentiment seemed to be less an expression of exhaustion as it was supreme satisfaction.
PHOTO GALLERY: click here to view
The nearly two-hour, sold-out show was consummate Kid Rock: ferociously energetic, over-the-top narcissistic and tremendous fun. Blending hard rock, rap, country, and rhythm and blues, the Detroit-area frontman and his 11-member band delivered a powerful, engaging concert that had the audience on its feet the entire show.
Rock’s a strangely endearing combination of superstar and common man, managing to come across like the cockiest person in the room and at the same time the most down-to-earth. He’s the only musician I’ve ever seen who provides the audience with a countdown to show time so there’s no guessing how long you have to grab a beverage or use the restroom.
A pair of Zenobia Shriners came on stage before the show and gave a pitch for their organization, encouraging the rowdy audience to buy Rock CDs, proceeds of which went to the organization.

Fifteen minutes later Rock was singing the praises of whiskey and weed, screaming every profanity imaginable, and flying around the stage like a hyperactive feral cat. His stringy hair hung like oily tendrils from under his black hat and for a man whose sponsor is Jim Beam and who at one point in the show smoked a fat stogey, he’s surprisingly fit and athletic.
The set kicked off with “Celebrate” and featured songs from throughout his career, including the anthemic “All Summer Long,” noisy Kid Rock love fests such as “Cowboy,” and good-time party songs like “Redneck Paradise."
A highlight was an extremely cool use of video footage to kick off “American Bad Ass.”
Film of daredevil motorcyclist Evel Knievel played in the background, the music synced to his jumps before the song roared to life.
The usual Kid Rock set piece featured him manning some turntables and showing off his DJ skills while pouring himself a healthy shot of Jim Beam Devil’s Cut — one of the tour’s major sponsors along with Harley-Davidson motorcycles — and lighting a big cigar that created a cloud of smoke over his head.
The highlight of the show was a slamming version of Bob Seger’s “Rock and Roll Never Forgets” that the band ripped into after Rock played a solo acoustic version of a brand new song he wrote after sharing the stage with Seger.
Rock understands his audience and he knows Toledo and the choice to cover the song was savvy and smart. It turned an already excellent show into something that felt a little more special.
