LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) — Leaders of a northern Colorado city have approved a $3 million deal with two energy companies to stop surface oil and gas drilling.
Longmont city councilors voted 6-1 for the agreement Tuesday night, saying it was the best they could do to protect the city from drilling under state law.
The city will pay TOP Operating Co. to plug and abandon eight wells and never drill in the city again. Cub Creek Energy LLC would give up its right to drill there as long as the state approves its plan to drill near Union Reservoir outside town.
The Longmont Times-Call reports the deal wouldn’t stop oil and gas from being accessed indirectly through horizontal drilling, including drilling under the reservoir. The lone no vote, Joan Peck, called that possibility “criminal.”

Callie, Michael and I slept well last night, and in spite of the very smokey skies-(Devil’s Post Pile) in Mammoth is on fire, we decided to go on a bike ride. The sky is hazy with smoke that has drifted the 25 miles from Mammoth to here and it definitely interferes with the beauty of landscape photography, but I also feel terrible for the plants and animals that are in harm’s way. Last summer we had the same problem with forest fires in Oregon, Washington, and Canada. Our poor planet. The trees that are dead and dying are in the millions from one end of the country to the other, and this makes for perfect fire conditions.
It is still beautiful at Silver Lake though and you can bike north and south and the traffic is just slow enough and the RV’S, by and large, give you enough room as they pass you by, that you feel safe cycling on the road. We followed along the scenic river and beautiful, Silver Lake and as you pedal past the fairly flat terrain, you can hear the water roaring from the waterfall above Silver Lake Resort and RV Park. We headed toward the rest stop going north and then turned around and went into town going the other way.
Callie has a nice trail behind the property where I watched 5 White-Tailed Deer grazing earlier this morning. I try to keep her out of the grass because of ticks, but she sure loves to pretend that she is stalking chipmunks and starlings. This is a very nice, family oriented campground, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to stay here for 4 days.

WASHINGTON — A professional poker player turned TikTok billionaire is helping to bankroll Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s push to oust Republicans who stymied his school choice agenda.
Jeff Yass, the Pennsylvania options trader, has spent over $209 million in the last decade promoting school choice and pro-voucher candidates.
That includes over $6 million to Abbott in recent months and even more to groups airing attacks in the March 5 primary against the “rural 16,” GOP lawmakers on Abbott’s naughty list for blocking his school choice measure.
Yass’ donations are made possible by a spectacularly successful bet on ByteDance, the Chinese company behind TikTok — the video-sharing app used by hundreds of millions. Abbott banned it from state-owned cellphones a year ago, citing risks to privacy and security that echo concerns aired by governments around the world.
Abbott’s targets in the Legislature see themselves as defenders of limited resources for public schools, not “woke” enemies of opportunity as ads, mailers and robocalls paint them. Some find it exasperating that so much of the onslaught is linked to TikTok.
“It’s very concerning that a guy who made his money in a way that … is very harmful to our young people is using some of that money to double down on his harm to our young people by defunding the public schools,” said state Rep. Gary VanDeaver, R-New Boston, a former schools superintendent who has endured an ad barrage financed in part by Yass.
The Abbott campaign did not respond to repeated email and text requests to square the governor’s views on TikTok with his support from Yass.
“Owned by a Chinese company that employs Chinese Communist Party members, TikTok harvests significant amounts of data from a user’s device, including details about a user’s internet activity,” Abbott said when he banned the app from state-owned devices.
Yass, through a spokesman, declined an interview request but provided a brief statement: “School spending has doubled in real terms over the last 30 years and results have gotten worse, particularly in urban districts. The time for choice and competition is now. I plan to support pro-school choice candidates in any state.”
Yass is a new player in Texas politics, though he has spent big money in Florida, Kentucky, New York and North Carolina. In his home state of Pennsylvania, he’s put $62 million into a group he co-founded called Students First PAC, which backs candidates in both parties who seek alternatives to public schools.
As Abbott has boasted, the $6 million Yass gave him Dec. 18 was the biggest single campaign donation in Texas history. That check, on top of $250,000 Yass gave two months earlier, is fueling Abbott’s quest to replace school choice opponents in the Texas House.
In November, 21 House Republicans broke with Abbott to strip education savings accounts from a $7.6 billion school finance bill. All but five are seeking reelection. Most represent rural districts where alternatives to public schools are rare.
The ESAs would let families use $10,500 a year per child in taxpayer funds for private school tuition.
Abbott has been barnstorming Texas, stumping against incumbents he’d like to replace. He has spent $4.6 million in the last month supporting challengers to 10 of them.
Apart from Abbott, two pro-voucher groups Yass is deeply involved with are also targeting the defectors.
Yass has given $15 million to School Freedom Fund since 2021, federal records show, plus $62.3 million to its parent organization, the influential anti-tax group Club for Growth. Meanwhile, AFC Victory Fund and a Texas offshoot, affiliated with the American Federation for Children, has gotten $4 million from Yass since last fall.
The “rural 16″ aren’t defenseless.
San Antonio billionaire Charles Butt, the H-E-B supermarket magnate and 55th on the Bloomberg list, is a longtime booster of public schools. He has put $2.8 million behind the embattled incumbents since July via the Charles Butt Public Education PAC.
VanDeaver has reported raising about $1 million since July, a quarter of it from the Charles Butt PAC.
Teachers groups have put far more modest sums into the races.
Like the targeted incumbents, teachers unions resent the heavy spending from Yass and other out-of-state billionaires, including Betsy DeVos, who served as education secretary in the Trump administration, and Richard Uihlein, a shipping magnate. That’s on top of big money rolling in from Texas billionaires. Oilman Tim Dunn has given $4.6 million to conservative PACs and pro-voucher candidates. West Texas fracking billionaire Farris Wilks has given $3.3 million.
‘Damn Yankee billionaires’
In September, the American Federation for Children announced it would spend $10 million nationwide to defeat lawmakers who oppose school choice. Since then, Yass has given $3.5 million.
The School Freedom Fund will spend nearly $4 million on ads targeting 14 Texas Republicans who opposed the ESAs, officials said last week.
“Texas is the front line of the fight for school freedom,” David McIntosh, president of Club for Growth and the School Freedom Fund, said in a statement.
One of the group’s ads airing in East Texas links state Rep. Travis Clardy, a six-term Nacogdoches Republican, to “woke” curriculum and slams him for “[voting] with Democrats against Gov. Abbott’s education freedom bill giving parents the right to choose a better school, free of indoctrination.”
Abbott himself has spent over $400,000 backing Clardy’s opponent, Joanne Shofner.
Clardy mocked the governor as “the $6 million man” in thrall to “damn Yankee billionaires” who don’t care about districts like his.
“These billionaires sitting around in Pennsylvania and California and Michigan and D.C. — nobody thinks that those people are wringing their hands worrying about the poor rural East Texas kids and how are they ever going to get a quality education,” he said.
Another School Freedom Fund ad running in Sherman uses footage of a person in drag reading to small children, and a shot of an all-gender restroom sign. That ad accuses state Rep. Reggie Smith of “keeping kids in woke schools.”
Smith has hit back by depicting vouchers as “a magnet for illegal immigrants,” on grounds that courts require states to provide equal opportunity to children regardless of legal status.
“School choice sounds nice. So does ‘federation for children.’ Don’t be fooled,” the narrator intones in one Smith ad. “They want Reggie Smith gone because he stopped their voucher scheme. ... He’ll never allow voucher handouts to illegal immigrants.”
The targeted lawmakers are deeply conservative on gun rights, abortion, immigration, border security and taxes.
“It’s just crazy that I would be accused of being weak on Second Amendment [rights] or weak on the border,” VanDeaver said, “because everything that I have supported, Gov. Abbott supported — other than vouchers.”
State Rep. Hugh Shine, R-Temple, finds it frustrating that Abbott has aligned himself with a TikTok mogul whose role is too hard to explain in the rush to election day. Abbott has put over $400,000 into that district in the last month.
“The outside money is obviously a concern,” Shine said between stops in his Central Texas district. “If people knew that and understood that, they would probably not want to support someone who was getting money for their campaign from that source.”
Shine got $60,000 from the Charles Butt PAC. Rep. Steve Allison, under siege in suburban San Antonio, got $360,000 — against nearly $700,000 his pro-voucher opponent Marc LaHood has gotten from the governor in the last month.
The Charles Butt PAC’s executive director didn’t respond to emails.
Who is Jeff Yass?
Yass, 65, moved to Las Vegas after college to play poker for a living.
He was an up-and-coming trader in his 20s when he figured out how to beat the odds at the horse track, turning stacks of cash into huge jackpots by betting on every combination of winners — until the tracks caught on and turned him away.
In 1987, Yass and some college friends co-founded Susquehanna International Group. It grew into a giant that uses quantitative models to execute rapid-fire trades.
“If you have bought stock or options on an app like Robinhood or E-Trade, there’s a good chance you traded with Susquehanna without knowing it,” the investigative news site ProPublica wrote in 2022, in an examination of Yass’ taxes.
Thanks to a well-timed bet that markets would sour, Susquehanna was one of the few firms that made money in the Black Monday crash on Oct. 19, 1987, that nearly brought down the economy.
The big score came when Susquehanna invested $5 million in 2012 in ByteDance, the Chinese company that later developed TikTok. The Wall Street Journal values Yass’ share at $21 billion.
That’s the bulk of a fortune big enough to rank him the 51st-wealthiest person in the world.
A co-founder of Susquehanna now sits on the ByteDance board, a concession the company made as its U.S. presence grew and suspicion with it.
Critics say the TikTok app promotes hate speech and misinformation while giving China a dangerous way to track Americans and subtly influence them. In late 2022, Avril Haines, director of national intelligence, called China’s capacity to conduct “information campaigns” and collect foreign data via TikTok “extraordinary.”
TikTok disputes such allegations, insisting U.S. users’ data is off limits to the company’s Chinese owners.
India has banned the app. Texas and more than 30 other states have banned it from government devices, as have a number of western countries.
The University of Texas and Texas A&M block TikTok from their Wi-Fi networks.
‘Self-serving teachers union’
A self-described Libertarian, Yass backed the Libertarian presidential nominee in 2016. He also backed Andrew Yang for New York mayor after Yang fell short in the 2020 Democratic presidential race; Yang promoted government-funded debit cards that families could use to pay for private education.
Yass has said little publicly to explain his ardor for school choice.
In rare public comments, he has bashed public school teachers as overpaid and accused their unions, which are a core Democratic constituency, of keeping children in failing schools to protect jobs. In Philadelphia’s mayoral race, he spent $1.1 million to help torpedo the teachers’ union choice in the Democratic primary.
An adviser pointed to comments from 2022, when Yass explained his support for “educational freedom” to a Wall Street Journal columnist:
New York City spends $35,000 per child per school year. Over 12 years, that’s $1.2 million for three kids. If a mom could choose how to spend that, Yass argued, she’d probably put them in charter or religious schools, with funds to spare.
“She’s not poor anymore. She’d get a much better education for her kids,” Yass said. “But that self-serving teachers union comes in and grabs that $1.2 million out of her hands.”
Monty Exter, government relations director at the Texas Association of Professional Educators, said he’s less concerned about Yass’ link to TikTok than “his desire to dismantle public education.”
As for the big money being unleashed on voucher opponents, he said, “It certainly is making the races more difficult.”

In a landmark decision, the State Cabinet gave its nod to creation of new 659 administrative units across the State. Flanked by his cabinet colleagues, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah announced in a press conference that the Cabinet had considered and accepted the recommendations of the Cabinet Sub-Committee (CSC). This Committee had been created under the orders of the Cabinet which had previously considered the recommendations of the Ganai Committee for creating additional administrative units of different categories across the state. At that time the Cabinet had some reservations in accepting the Ganai Committee recommendations, and, in order to further discuss the matter objectively, the Cabinet Sub-Committee had been constituted under the chairmanship of Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand.
There were some differences between the coalition partners on the subject of creation of new administrative units. However, after long debates and point-counter-point discussions, finally the report prepared by CSC did the balancing act and resolved the matter amicably.
Indeed, as the Chief Minister has said, it is a historic decision which was never taken before and will never be taken hereafter. The new administrative structure is perhaps the widest possible framework that could be construed by any Government. The ultimate purpose of this stupendous exercise in the words of the Chief Minister is to bring the people of the State closer to the Government and give them a feel that Government authorities and agencies are close at hand to listen to their grievances and provide them solutions. We have no doubt that this purpose will be met to a large extent once the work of creating new units is brought to completion and the system begins to function normally.
The recommendation is to create 659 new administrative units in all, 46 sub divisions, 135 tehsils, 177 CD Blocks and 301 Niabats. All 4098 Panchayats across the State will be co-terminus with equal number of Patwar halqas. It is noteworthy that except for the Patwar halqas, the CSC report has included almost all the recommendations made by Ganai Committee but added more to it what it thought would be just and equitable. By and large, the CSC report is fair and just. In particular, Jammu region has not been discriminated against in any way as has been the complaint from the region in the past. All the three regions of the State have got their due share. This is a good deal and the cabinet has done the right thing of giving it immediate green signal. Not only that, the Chief Minister without wasting any time directed the Planning and Finance Departments to prepare the roadmap for implementation of the report. But how much time will its implementation take, is something which the Chief Minister was unable to state. We know that new districts were created way back in 2007 and even after six years of their creation, they do not have the requisite staff and infrastructure as yet and have to borrow officers from other departments.
It is evident that creating such a huge new administrative structure requires enormous funds. According to one rough estimate the new administrative units will need 10,521 officials and its financial implication is estimated to be in the neighbourhood of Rs.1510.22 crore.
Creation of new administrative units does not really mean that something new by way of administration is going to be inducted into the State. When looked at very closely, one will find that the creation of new units is only extension of existing units. It is to lessen the burden of workload on them because the quantum of work has substantially increased in recent years. Moreover increase in population also demands that problems of the people shall have to be solved without forcing them to travel long distances for seeking redress of their grievances. Some observers will be disposed to link this far reaching decision of the State Government with the impending assembly and parliamentary elections in the country. We think that such hypothesis is out of place. The issue of creating new administrative units has been hanging fire for many years. Actually if the Ganai Committee report had not been sent by the Cabinet to the Sub-Committee for reconsideration and had accepted it, the matter would have ended there and then. As such it is clear that the matter has nothing to do with elections and it is a pure administrative exercise which coincidently has happened at a juncture when the country is making preparations for the elections also.
We congratulate the State Government for taking a decision of far-reaching consequences. It is a decision that will go in the interests of the people of the state especially those living in remote and far off places. Justice will come to their doorsteps. We would also like to implore the Government, especially the Chief Minister, to see to it that the roadmap for implementation of the recommendations is made available by the concerned within the shortest possible time and its implementation on the ground also begins simultaneously. If its implementation has to wait for years at end, this would leave bad taste in the mouth and that should never be allowed to happen.
Incidentally the Chief Minister disclosed in the cabinet meeting that the Government was going to introduce a bill in the forthcoming session for amending the Panchayat Act to make room for 73rd amendment. This, too, is good news and will fill the blank that was there in regard to empowerment of Panchayats.

When it comes to monitors or projectors, Viewsonic is not a new name in the Indian market. We just reviewed the Viewsonic TD 1630-3 Touch LED monitor and learned some interesting stuff. Describe them. Continue reading our review.
Given that this LED panel features a touchscreen, it is considerably different from what Viewsonic has previously produced. However, let’s briefly discuss its appearance before we discuss its performance. It appears to be a straightforward monitor when it is first unwrapped, but then you realise it lacks a base stand. Instead, this 15.6-inch monitor includes a metal support that can rotate out and back to almost 90 degrees and rest flat, making it suitable for usage as a tablet.
The touchscreen, together with additional buttons and Viewsonic logo, make up the majority of the Viewsonic TD 1630-3 Touch LED monitor’s front panel. The monitor is portable and can be quickly set up on any size desk. Power, USB, VGA, HDMI, and audio in connectors are located downward on the back of the device. Speaking about audio, this monitor has two 1W upward firing speakers. The monitor looks normal because it is covered in grey and black plastic until you discover how it operates.
Here’s where the fun really starts. When it comes to touch functionality, the Viewsonic TD 1630-3 Touch LED monitor excels. It was easy to set up via USB and we utilised it with HDMI. The touch portion of it is essentially enabled by the USB, and the tap to performance response time is not too horrible. When we discovered that this monitor only supports HD (720p) graphics and does not support FHD graphics, we conducted the customary testing.
Even so, it is still a pleasure to work with. Although the games were not performing at their best, the monitor was not designed to do that. It is designed for usage in the workplace. And that it does very well. The 7H hardness of the screen prevents it from being scratched, but frequent touches and taps do make it a fingerprint magnet, and we personally prefer our monitors to be clear of smudges.
The monitor’s viewing angles are not very good because they only support angles up to 90 degrees. Since 1W does not adequately represent the multimedia experience, neither is the sound. The colours, however, are excellent; they are vivid and clear. Black people are not all bad. Even so, we’ve seen better from some other Viewsonic monitors that are less priced.
Verdict and Final Words
Linux OS and Windows 7 and later are both compatible with the Viewsonic TD 1630-3 Touch LED monitor. The touch experience on a PC is thus suitable for routine business work. But in an office setting, one wouldn’t want to utilise it constantly. Although it occasionally felt like a gimmick, some experts would prefer a touch-screen monitor. Like? It will be a fantastic alternative to have there when it comes to POS systems or stores where one wants to demo products. However, Rs 20,000 is a bit costly for a touch display that does not offer full HD graphics.

I became a caregiver because i simply enjoy taking care of people. I love making people laugh as i feel laughter is the best medicine in this world today. I became a caregiver 25 years ago when I started caring for my handicap cousin. (who is now 37) I enjoyed being with her and teaching even the simpliest things that we may all take for granted. She is blind so I would take her ice skating, sledding, etc, anything for a challenge. To see her feeling of power was enough of a reward for me. I knew I wanted to help people in life so I went to school and became a medical assistant/phlebotomist. The challenges and rewards were endless. I worked in a very busy practice where i was able to utilize the knowledge and compassion i have to take care of people.

1.) I became a caregiver because at a young age my grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I watched her battle through and eventually she lost the war. On top of the cancer my nana also had a brain tumor, epilepsy, and high blood pressure that needed to be monitored daily. Helping her through her battle and watching her go through her ups and downs gave me the drive I needed to pursue a career in the health field. 2.) What I like mainly about being a caregiver is being able to help others and having success stories. Being able to help others and seeing them be happy even if its for a short period of time makes it well worth it. 3.) A personal achievement that i am proud of is applying and being accepted into a Medical Assistant program. I am proud that not only did I finish the program but i graduated with honors. 4.) Something about myself: I love what I do. The career that I have chosen for myself fulfills me in ways that are indescribable. I love people, I love being able to strike up a conversation about anything to anyone. I am a very family oriented person, my mom has 2 other sisters and my father is 1 of 10 children so family is very important to me. I am the oldest of 3 and have a half sister that is 4. My youngest brother also just had a baby so I have a 9 month old nephew that I couldn't picture life without. I set goals for myself and try my hardest to fulfill the goals i set, whether they're daily, weekly, monthly or yearly goals i try

A device which is said to be the world’s most powerful tidal turbine is due to begin testing in Orkney. The SR2000, developed by Scotrenewables Tidal Power, is undergoing final checks before being connected to its mooring system at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) test site. At 63m in length, it is longer than Edinburgh’s Scott Monument. Its developers say it is capable of generating 2MW of power – enough for about 1,000 homes over a year. The SR2000 was launched from the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast in May before being towed to Orkney. During a visit to the test site, Scottish Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: “Scotland’s capacity to generate tidal power is considerable and this device has the potential to be a real game changer for the industry, not only here in Scotland, but across the world. “Floating technology like this is likely to be easy and cheap to install, maintain and decommission. “This will increase the commercial viability of tidal energy, which is crucial as we continue to transition towards a low carbon economy.” WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: “News that the world’s most powerful tidal turbine is to begin trials in Orkney underlines the important role Scotland currently plays in the development of marine renewables globally.

Sometimes a name is just a name, but sometimes a change in name can set the stage for a change in focus. That was the hope of the Developing Communities Project, which asked the Board of Elections today to have voters weigh in on changing the name of Carver Military Academy back to George Washington Carver High School.
Sometimes a name is just a name, but sometimes a change in name can set
the stage for a change in focus. That was the hope of the Developing
Communities Project, which asked the Board of Elections today to have
voters weigh in on changing the name of Carver Military Academy back to
George Washington Carver High School.
But the group failed to get the required 2,600 signatures to get the
referendum on the ballot in February 2010. The election board told the
group that it would have to wait until November 2010 or February 2011,
says John Paul Jones, the project’s community organizer.
Jones says the proposed name change is meant to provide an impetus for
downsizing the military program to a small school-within-a-school, and
to then create other small schools in the same building. If the school
had more vocational training programs, such as in green technology and
agriculture, Jones says it would be more attractive to local students.
As a military academy, Carver now has specific admissions requirements.
And the issue came to the forefront this fall, with some activists and
residents blaming the beating death of Fenger High student Derrion
Albert on the tensions created by sending students from the Altgeld
Gardens area to Fenger rather than Carver (which is near Derrion’s
But not everyone thinks it’s a good idea to reopen a general high
school program inside Carver. And even if a referendum eventually
passes, there’s no guarantee of such a change: Ultimately, that
decision would be up to the Board of Education.
Ninth Ward Ald. Anthony Beale, for one, is against the change. He noted
that five years ago, before becoming a military academy, Carver was
wrought with violence and low performance.
Now, young men and women in full ROTC uniforms monitor the hallways,
and only 35 students were charged with a serious misconduct last school
year. Carver has become a “quiet school,” Beale says.
Still, the admissions criteria for Carver have been a point of
contention between Beale and CPS officials. In October, Beale said
students should be able to simply sign the standard code of conduct for
military schools to be granted admission, while the current policy
calls for interviews, grades and attendance to factor into admission
But Beale admits that the focus on the military is a barrier to some
students. When given a chance this fall, only six students expressed
interest in transferring from Fenger.
“Because discipline is one of the things lacking in our schools today,
a lot of kids get turned off because they don’t want to wear the
uniform,” Beale says.
For Jones and Developing Communities Project, the bottom line is that
CPS needs to come up with a better strategy for providing good high
school options for students in Roseland. He says this is an endeavor
that he and CPS have only recently begun thinking about.
The name change, though, is important to Jones for another reason: It
will reinforce George Washington Carver’s legacy as an inspiration to
the black community.
“Our greatest hope is to defy these racial [stereotypes] that have
always haunted us,” Jones says. “We wanted to use those legacies to
encourage and empower youth.”

TATIANA NAZARENKO. FUTURE IN THE PAST
Дедушкины письма. Из серии «Фамильный альбом»
Положение во гроб
Цирк на площади
Date: February 21 — July 19, 2020
Venue: MMOMA, 10 Gogolevsky Boulevard
Curators: Liudmila Andreeva, Anna Arutyunyan, Andrey Egorov
The Moscow Museum of Modern Art presents a solo exhibition by Tatiana Nazarenko titled «Future in the Past». The exhibition’s core consists of Nazarenko’s paintings of the 2000s-2010s, in which she continues to study «difficult» topics that are crucial for her entire artistic career: inescapable loneliness, a feeling of being helpless in front of history, the burden of traumatic memories, and the lack of understanding between people caught up in a swirl of social masquerade.
The works presented at the exhibition (some are shown to the public for the first time) include the images of war filled with drama and anxiety, multi-figured scenes of everyday meal, phantasmagoric «red» paintings, interpreting the archetypal image of women’s power, non-canonical biblical compositions, and an extensive series «Family Album», on which the artist has been working closely for the past time. It brings together paintings, graphic works and objects through which the artist restores the lost family memory.
The exhibition is complemented by the renown plywood figures from the «Underpass» project from the mid-1990s and installations both previously shown («Moscow Table») and created specially for the show. The artist’s important works from the late 1970s-2000s from the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery («The Decembrists. Revolt of the Chernigov Regiment», «The Studio» and «Pugachev») are presented as part of a special section.
The exhibition unfolds not retrospectively but rather as a narrative with multiple story lines. The starting point of the exhibition’s narrative, literally the entry to and the exit from the exhibition, is the image of the artist’s studio, the place where she works and in a broader sense — the space of memory, a mental interior. The first hall features a well-known painting from the State Tretyakov Gallery collection, depicting the interior of a workshop in Bryusov Lane, and the last section of the exhibition presents objects and artifacts that allude to Tatiana Nazarenko’s childhood.
About the artist
Tatyana Nazarenko (born 1944) is Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, a legendary artist in the late Soviet and contemporary Russian art. Nazarenko graduated from the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov and has served as a professor there. She has embarked on her career as a painter together with the artists of the seventies and continues to work actively to the present day.
The exhibition at MMOMA on Gogolevsky Boulevard is Nazarenko’s first exhibition since 2004 who shares her time between Moscow and Zurich.


Rampaging militants under aegis of Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, on Thursday
released a damning verdict against the Nigerian Military over the alleged
involvement of military officers in oil theft, stating that there were
videos and pictures to back up the claims.
Besides, the militant group alleged that there was also clear evidence of
much the military personnel engaged in the illicit deals rake in per day.
Pointblanknews.com had exclusively disclosed the involvement of the
military in illegal bunkering, and how much they charge per cotonou boat
and vessel in the creeks.
NDA, however denied security reports on the killing of troops in Nembe,
Bayelsa State, saying that it was surprised at the desperation of the
military to always connect it to crimes in Southern Nigeria.
Its spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo said: “It is a shame that Operations Delta
Safe is still employing the old habit of deliberately dining and wining
with fake intelligence from political thugs, political paymasters and
enemies of the Niger Delta to perpetuate their continuous funding and
relevance by leveraging on the hunger in the land.
“One question for the Commander of Operation Delta Safe, is, who are the
people perpetuating the ongoing illegal oil bunkering in the Niger Delta
at the moment? We have both video and still photographs of the serious
involvement of your troops in the pervasive crude oil thefts. We have
records of how much profit you collect and make per day from these
atrocities in the Niger Delta.
“To set the records straight, we cannot come after your dane guns and
ammunition. Since the start of ‘Operation Red Economy,’ our forces have
not fired one shot until we have achieved this great success of
crippling crude oil productions in the Niger Delta to about 800,000
barrels per day.
“Those gang members paraded as killers of troops of ODS are well known
followers of Mr. Africa Ukparasai and Mr Timipre Silva, who were armed
by the All Progressives Congress, APC, during the governorship election
in Bayelsa State.
“If your forces and formations come under attack by notorious elements of
your own political collaborators and calculations, you should accept it
as a friendly fire (from your own dubious creations getting loosed and
fighting back to protect their territories and bellies) and enjoy it
while it last. Excuse the NDA from your “Pig and Mud squabbles.
“Yesterday was Arepo in Ogun State, today is Nembe in Bayelsa State,
which is the next state you want to involve the NDA in this your bread
and butter security conspiracies and collaborations ?”

State announces findings in study of virus-related pediatric inflammatory syndrome
NYS health officials on Monday announced the findings of a study on the pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with Covid-19.
Context: The study, which the state Department of Health completed in collaboration with the University at Albany School of Public Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, concluded that the emergence of the inflammatory condition in New York followed widespread Covid-19 transmission and is often associated with cardiac dysfunction.
The research, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, describes 99 confirmed or suspected cases of the inflammatory syndrome in patients under age 21, including any preexisting conditions in patients, specific symptoms they experienced, treatments received and their health outcomes. Thirty-six of the patients examined had a preexisting condition — most commonly obesity, DOH reported. Just two of the 99 cases studied resulted in fatalities.
Researchers also found that the peak in the number of inflammatory syndrome cases followed a peak in the number of lab-confirmed pediatric Covid-19 cases by 31 days. Both conditions were largely uncommon in kids, according to DOH. The study further suggested a higher incidence of the condition in Black and Hispanic children, as well as those below age 13.
With nearly 200 possible cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome reported among New York children as of May 10, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced efforts to study the condition, which is similar to Kawasaki disease or toxic shock-like syndrome. New York also worked with the CDC to develop national criteria for identifying the condition.
State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker said the study “will help healthcare professionals throughout the country diagnose this condition in their patients.” Researchers said more must be done to explore whether a coronavirus-related inflammatory syndrome exists among adults.

Although still more than 24 hours away, the first winter storm of March is on the horizon.
The National Weather Service says specific details are likely to change if the storm shifts farther north, but a Winter Storm Watch is in effect for much of southern and central Minnesota, including parts of the west metro, Sunday night through Tuesday morning.
NWS predicts 6 to 8 inches are possible, the heaviest will fall along the Minnesota River Valley.
The storm is expected to bring snow throughout the day on Monday, WCCO reports.
KSTP predicts snow accumulations will range from 2 to 4 inches in the metro and up to half a foot south and west of the Twin Cities.
The storm will slowly clear Tuesday, according to KARE 11, and the rest of the week appears quiet.
Paul Douglas says March is a very volatile month where warmer temperatures, 40 or even 50 degrees in the Twin Cities, bring wet and sloppy storms. Douglas remains "cautiously optimistic" a parade of storms will ease the drought by late spring.


HEPATITIS B VACCINATIONS: Thousands of Students May Miss School Start
A state law preventing seventh-grade students from entering school if they have not had or at least started their three-dose hepatitis B vaccine means that up to 145,000 students could be barred from entering school next month, the Los Angeles Times reports. In Orange County, "untold numbers" of seventh-graders could be sent home their first day of school. "Schools could have to turn away thousands of kids," said Sandy Landry, the health and wellness administrator for the county's Department of Education, "...[T]hat's a state law we have to comply with." For the Los Angeles Unified School District, the "situation appears a little less bleak." Because of a "vast immunization program ... over the last two years," only 5,000 of the district's 50,000 to 55,000 seventh-graders will attempt to begin school without the necessary shots. Those students will be "sequestered in homeroom or auditoriums on the first day and given consent forms to take home to their parents." Officials must prevent un-immunized students from even "set[ting] foot in a classroom." In practice, however, school administrators struggle to learn who has and has not been vaccinated, and many "are reluctant to keep students from their lessons." The situation is just as difficult for those administering the vaccinations. In Anaheim this week, nurses delivered 88 vaccines in an hour -- one every 41 seconds. Some parents expressed frustration at the long lines and short notice they were given about the vaccination policy, which did not formally go into effect until July. "Do they expect miracles?" asked Rick Palombo, a Costa Mesa radiologist and father of a sixth-grader.
The new law is intended to supplement an existing law mandating that all California kindergartners get hepatitis vaccinations before starting classes by "catch[ing] older children who missed earlier inoculations." All this to combat a liver disease "caused by a virus present in the blood" that, if untreated, can be fatal. "Hepatitis B causes a significant toll in California," said state immunization chief Natalie Smith, adding, "Most infections (occur) in adolescence and among young adults. We really want these kids to be protected" (Folmar/Gold, 8/27).

What to Know
- Delta passengers say they were stuck on the tarmac at JFK overnight after their flight to Los Angeles was delayed due to weather
- Delta flight DL0975 had been supposed to take off at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday; the airline's website shows it departing at 9:20 a.m. Thursday
- In a statement to PIX11, Delta apologized to its customers and said travelers were offered water and snacks; fliers said it was a nightmare
A Delta flight that was supposed to leave John F. Kennedy Airport Wednesday afternoon en route to Los Angeles was still stuck on the Queens tarmac the next morning, prompting a flood of angry tweets from frustrated passengers who said they were stranded at the airport a stunning 22 hours.
The plane, Delta flight DL0975, had been supposed to take off at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. The airline's website shows it departing JFK at 9:20 a.m. Thursday. According to social media reports, passengers were stuck on the tarmac through much of the delay, initially sparked by severe storms that hit Wednesday.
As passenger Eloise Moran told News 4, "It's literally been hell."
Video posted to Twitter by Moran showed all out chaos in the terminal, with angry fliers packed in like sardines, demanding answers from Delta staff. Moran's photos showed cramped passengers sleeping on the floor; at least one did have a pillow and blanket, though other fliers said they had no accommodations.
One traveler from London told News 4 there were a series of delays and false starts -- the plane was finally going to leave, then it wasn't, then it was and wasn't and so on through the evening until about 9:30 a.m. Thursday. Delta first blamed mechanical issues, then the weather, then crew issues, travelers said.
The man said passengers had to sleep in the airport lounge with no water, no pillows and no covers. They were given meal vouchers, he said, but everything was closed at the time, according to him, so they were left with nothing.
"Customer service was just about zero on a scale of 1 to 10," he said. "I'm a world traveler ... I have never in my life experienced such truly crap customer service."
This 56-year-old man, who was simply trying to catch a connecting flight in New York after his trip from London, was not alone in his frustration.
"Check this out. Disgraceful. @Delta telling the hundreds of passengers of flight 975 (after waiting on the tarmac for a total of 8 hours and having to get off the aircraft twice for a multitude of reasons including mechanical) that they won’t provide hotels for us," one flier tweeted.
"Flight 975 from jfk to lax is a disaster. Delays due to mechanical problems and flight crew issues. And now we’re all sleeping on the floor at JFK. Sorry, but water and cheese-its are not enough. Never flying @delta," tweeted another.
In response to one passenger's tweet Thursday, Delta said, "Hello there. We apologize for the delay, however, the delay is due to weather, and the snowball effect of delays causes crew timeouts, air traffic, and gate congestion just to name a few. We will get you out of there as soon as possible."
In a statement to News 4, the airline said, "Delta apologizes to the customers on Flight 975 operating from JFK to Los Angeles, which was delayed Wednesday evening due to weather in New York. Customers were offered water, snacks and meal vouchers in the terminal, and the flight is scheduled to depart for Los Angeles this morning."
The fracas follows yet another incident over the weekend at JFK in which passengers were said to have been stuck on the tarmac for at least six hours. In that case, Delta blamed weather in both New York and the flight's destination in Miami for the delay, saying customers were offered water and snacks. The airline also apologized for the inconvenience.

The beautifully designed gardens of Malampuzha are one of the most attractive Palakkad tourist places. Lush green lawns that are paired with well laid out flower beds full of vibrant and bright colours, the abundance of majestic fountains and artistically designed sculptures make for an idyllic escape from city life.
The pollution fee environs will make it impossible for you to leave the place. The gardens also feature gorgeous swimming pools where you can go for a leisurely swim. The canal that runs through the centre of the gardens lends a surreal quality to the place.

An apology to David Blair, with a preliminary announcement for The Seamus Heaney Memorial Reading presented by the Hastings Room
An apology to David
Blair, with a preliminary announcement for
The Seamus Heaney
Memorial Reading presented by the
Wednesday 14 September 2016
At First Church
11 Garden Street near
Harvard Square at 7pm
Back on the 30th of March, the day
before David Blair read at the Cervena Barva Press studio at the Somerville
Armory with Lloyd Schwartz and Joseph Torra, David Blair and his then just-
released book Friends With Dogs were
the subject of an article published in this blog. A few days later, with much
gratitude for the write-up, David emailed me and pointed out a few “goofs” I
had made. I promised him I would correct the goofs in due time and get them to
Doug so that the Boston Area Small Press and Poetry Scene would have the record
I’m taking the occasion of re-presenting my article here
(below) to make a preliminary announcement of this year’s Seamus Heaney
Memorial Reading, the third of our annual readings in tribute to the great
Nobel Prize Irish poet. Along with Meg Tyler and George Kalogeris, David Blair,
we feel lucky and proud to say, will be among the evening’s readers.
And only since March, David’s third book Arsonville has been released with
dazzling praise. Of it, Stephen Burt, one of our best poetry critics, writes:
There's simply-- and also not
so simply-- more life in this poetry than in almost all the other poetry that
isn't this poetry; more life, and more kinds of life…the kind whose savor and
importance poetry helps you recognize, whether it's a sensory impression,
wrought with all seven senses alert, or good wry advice: 'Parents are running a
three-legged race,' for example, or 'you always pay as we go,' or 'the longer
you drive,/ the more you have to get back home.' Here are real towns, real
families, real jokes, real fears, real 'bicycles/ with training wheels,' 'a
zone of green yards' with 'a spit-shine of black granite,' and (coming indoors,
with bears, so not quite domestic) 'a sudden slight dip in the bathtub
temperature.' Here are bad cookies, good apologies, and a really supple
language that can helix its way around and above whatever life can throw at the
singular poet involved. Let the poems come to you at home. They'll stay.
Tony Hoagland writes, “David Blair is a wholly original
American poet-- his poems yammer and jam, they aria and catalogue and whine,
combining kaleidoscopic perceptual and social detail with a sensibility that is
smart, canny, but affectionate.”
If you’ve read any of David’s own reviews, seen him
introduce other readers or perhaps attended one of his courses, you will
already know how insightful and articulate David is about poetry. When I
mentioned the Heaney reading, he was positively in for it. He loves Heaney. In
a recent email to me, David gave me this as a teaser to his segment of the
I am planning on saying some
things about the influence of deep image poetry which Heaney encountered during
his first stay in America, and how we may see the influence of "leaping
poetry" in poems like "Viking Trial Pieces: Dublin,"
"Hercules and Antaeus," and "The Harvest Bow." I will
also say a few things about how making large associate leaps is not something
limited to the deep image poets, but is also there in Lowell and other American
poets as well. I will be going back to Stepping Stones & re-reading
the stuff he says about his initial encounters with American poetry there.
If you’ve been to one of the Heaney Memorial readings at the
Hastings Room before, you may remember them being on the last Wednesday of
August. We’re moving back to mid-September this year in hopes of having a
cooler room for the audience. In the following weeks, I will attempt to tease
folk to come to the reading, with pieces on George Kalogeris and Meg Tyler.
In his description above, Blair mentions the poem “Hercules
and Antaeus” by Heaney. This morning I was reading another of Heaney’s
meditations simply on one of the characters and titled “Antaeus,” which I will
leave with the reader for this week’s Seamus Heaney poem:
When I lie on the ground
flushed as a rose in the morning.
fights I arrange a fall on the ring
To rub myself with sand
That is operative
elixir. I cannot be weaned
earth’s long contour, her river-veins.
Down here in my cave
Girdered with root and rock
cradled in the dark that wombed me
nurtured in every artery
Like a small hillock.
Let each new hero come
the golden apples and Atlas:
wrestle with me before he pass
Into that realm of fame
Among sky-born and royal.
well throw me and renew my birth
him not plan, lifting me off the earth,
My elevation, my fall.
Blair Sounding the Whistle in his third book FRIENDS WITH DOGS
by Michael T Steffen (revised, August 2016)
David Blair’s poems is like lying in bed awake listening to the one who lies
beside you talking in their sleep.
There is a network
of veins, nerves, and straw
where there was potted
Dental hygienists who misbehave
come back as the numbers
who remove salaried plaque,
the 86ers going deep
to scorch or freeze.[“Vulcanists
& Neptunists,” FWD, pp 38-9]
the terms are a little odd, which is difficult but also amusing. Blair himself
commented on this poem:
86 is restaurant lingo for removing something from a menu. I
call the corporate flaks who fire people 86-ers. The line "to scorch or
freeze" comes from the title of a decidedly irony-free Donald Davie book,
and I guess I find the procedures of corporate America hellish, to say the
least. This is the most hermetic poem in the book.
April of this year, I gave my interpretation of the poem, trying to use
educated guesses going on what I deemed “objective correlatives.” This was the
result: We leap, as Robert Bly would say, from potted plants, to the dentist
and accounting, to sports and weather. What does “the 86ers” refer to? There is
a European American Football team in Sweden called the Uppsala 86ers, which
would make sense of “going deep” (throwing a long pass deep down field).
General American readers will recognize the term “going deep” and have the
research engines in their memories looking for an associate NFL team, say the
49ers. In this line of thought, on to Blair’s next line, you can “freeze” a
linebacker by faking a run then throwing a long pass which, if successful,
could be said to burn (“scorch”) a defensive back. Amid all of this talk of
athletic dynamics, tactics and maneuvers, keep in mind the extremities of
weather which climate change is causing our winters and summers. Poetry is at
work when so much more is evoked than is actually stated. Great bargains take
place between word count and reader.
FRIENDS WITH DOGS [ISBN
9781937679606/Sheep Meadow Press/P.O. Box 84/Rhinebeck, NY 12514], Blair’s
third book of poems, lives up to the promise of his previous collections, in
which the poet established his signature method in madness of evasive speech.
“His music, his diction,” wrote Thomas Lux, “his refusal to use (ever) clichés,
his syntax all drive his poems and their hearts forward.”
I have been reading Blair’s
poems for about ten years now—struck always by his unique pitch and tone, the
tensile muscularity of his syntax and vibrational accents. His diction is
this deliberate dismissal of clichés and coins and cousinages, mere gestures
are made toward a grander scale, a finger on one’s cheek pointing at the sky,
to refute determinism and fate, while acknowledging these mechanisms dangerously
at play in our world. The poem “Festivals for Saints Lucy and Anthony” strike a
plangent irony that reminds one (listen closely) of Ophelia singing over the
virtues of herbs and flowers in her craze after Polonius’s death.
The Book of Common Prayer
gives such lovely presentation

is a pill (are pills) under Blair’s sugar of meanderings. To an aggressive,
accusative and hypocritical world of solicitation, denying us so much in the
way of authentic contact and purpose, there is adequacy in a response of
denial, refusing sense made by the powers that be, returning everything
originally to depict the oddness of how this feels rather than how it should
seem okay. Satire, the theatre of the absurd, deigning to no obvious purpose or
sense, happens upon a critical “usefulness” in its powerful disrespect and will
to shock the censors and oppression crouching even in a free society.
festivals evoked in the poem’s title are feast days or celebrations in honor of
saints. Saint Lucy is petitioned for restoration of sight or vision. Saint
Anthony is prayed to for help in recovering losses. The title of Blair’s second
book, Ascension Days, with vocabulary
in his earlier poems, have raised the notion of religion, an old world
religion, in his poetry. His language can behave hermetically. Like Haley Joel
Osment, the child in The Sixth Sense, Blair sees dead people: he sees Rabelais’
ghost in the erudite contemporary poet Tom Yuill—
the poet from Old Dominion.
“Yoo hoo,” he says, “Read more
Sir Philip Sidney.”
“Yoo hoo,” he says, “Buttermilk
Gravy. Monday Night Football.”
[FWD, p. 60].
fragmentary presentation of his poetry allows for vast silences and omissions.
Whether Blair is devoted to religion we may not know by his poetry. That
atrocities are being committed throughout the world in the name of Religion
should weigh on every informed human being. This is a fact that reflects
howsoever in the mirror of Blair’s presented discourse.
conclusion of “Festivals for Saint Lucy & Saint Anthony” startlingly
compresses the world confused in these gestures to the naïve sweet tooth of a
child at such a festival, bound for the biochemical disaster of a blackout
caused by a sugar rush:
A kid won a box of Lemon Heads
and a box of Alexander the

“rational world,” radical fundamentalism motivating violence is seen as the
choice that justifies intervention. It is not Saint Lucy or Saint Anthony, any
more than the 86ers going deep. It is a butterfly somewhere causing a hurricane
elsewhere. The, say, Venus de Milo as an objective is not mentioned. Nor the
fact that the world is consuming sources of energy on a daily basis like a kid
loading himself with candy to the point of having a seizure at a religious
festival.As elsewhere in Blair’s
poetry, just enough is said in this poem to make so much come tumbling out.
To a great extent, the
day-to-day world we live in “makes sense” because it is what we have learned to
live with, ways accumulated and assimilated with progress in time. It is the
world we frequent daily. One necessary step for the artist and poet, in order
to get a good look at things around, in order to begin to speak relevantly
about it, is somehow to get outside of that world, get somehow to a vantage
point, on a hill, for a good while, to be able to see it for himself or
herself. To varying degrees, poets bring this cultivated alienation to readers,
with their purpose of showing us something we cannot normally see yet that is
true, so probable to how we imagine life, that we say “this really speaks to
Defying logic and expected
sequences, Blair, while “restless,” often achieves an a-temporal or
out-of-ordinary-time feel, the around-going-nowhere motion of a river mill
wheel, a simultaneity of collages, a moving stillness.
David Rivard in Boston Review
isolated a line of Blair’s, “Nothing can remain horizontal or vertical for
long,” calling this the poet’s “mini ars poetica.” The riverhead of the
statement may be Heraclitus’ The only
constant is change. It comes by way of one of Blair’s tamer or more focused
meditations, from Ascension Days, on
inspiration, in the figure and under the title of “AMELIA EARHART”, who like
the Virgin Mary did not suffer a witnessed death. The famous American
“aviatrix,” as David designates her (with a wink that is both bawdry and
submissive to the suffix, evoking the Dominatrix of erotica) serves stunningly
as a displacement of the Virgin Mother who according to certain traditions is
said not to have suffered death but to have been assumed into heaven, lost up
in the air in flight, off the radar and our maps, entering into the needful and
copious domains of our speculation and wonder.
A little beyond midstream in
the poem, Blair embellishes Earhart with suggestions of another great woman
from American history, Eleanor Roosevelt, with a marvelous double entendre on
the word “dam”, in one sense for the construction with a reservoir that
harnesses energy from a river (recalling the era of the New Deal), and “dam” in
the sense of a grand lady, the diminutive of “Madam” or “Madame”.
The lines go,
It’s possible that she was
muscle, nerve and horse sense.
Standing rigidly against rivers
like a dam
named after a president is a
dubious way to be,
but I can imagine Amelia
fascinated by toasters
and Christmas lights, the large
and the terrifying orange coils
and the way the toaster cord
feels like the root
of a plant when attracted to

bathrobe for her
in the endless morning before
There is merely a suggestive
allusion to Mary in the poem. We might remember that blue is Mary’s color, blue
of the serene sky. And that Amelia’s bathrobe imagined in David’s poem is blue.
A verbal association is possible with the Day of the Assumption, which is
commonly confused with Christ’s Ascension, offering an explanation as to the
plural in the title of this wonderful book, Ascension Days, published in
2007 by Del Sol Press.
The poetry of David Blair, for
all of its oddity and difficulty, strikes us as something we cannot put down or
turn away from. It’s likely we are not terribly sure about what it is he is
saying to us on a first or maybe not even a second reading, yet we get a keen
sense that it is undeniable and essential.

Do you want to learn how to braid curly hair? Then this article is for you! You will find secrets and tips from a curly-haired expert who can create amazing hairstyles with braids.
Braids are the most versatile way to style curly hair. You can use braids for protection, for setting your curls (also known as braid out), or for creating beautiful braided curly hairstyles.
The key to braiding curly hair is to do it when it’s wet, because it’s easier and better for your hair.
You can choose to do three or two braids for braid out, depending on how much volume you want. For convenience, braid your hair in front of a mirror.
Step 1: Sectioning Your Curls
Pull all of your hair back, then visually divide your hair into sections. Morgan uses a comb to separate her part. Then she takes the section by her ears and does a quick two strand twist. She repeats the process on the other side.
Why the twist? It helps hair maintain moisture while you’re working on sections, this keeps it from drying out and frizzing while you work on the other braids.
Step 2: Smoothing Your Hair
Next, make your hair as smooth as possible in the middle section by finger combing your hair back. You want your hair to look as straight as possible. Take a very small section near your hair line and divide it into three, then begin braiding.
Now Morgan actually recommends avoiding a French braid – at least for a braid out. Because when she releases her curls she ends up with more of a zig-zag pattern than a curl.
Instead she uses the dutch braiding technique aka the same technique used for cornrows. Same process – just different names. These braids when finished have more lift on the scalp, as opposed to French braids that lay flat against the head.
See how the braid is lifted up, rather than flat?
Step 3: Braiding
So how do you do a braid? You simply overlap each of the three mini sections you’ve created, one section of hair at a time.
For a Dutch Braid/Corn Row, the middle section goes OVER the outside sections.
Move each section of hair to the middle position at least once, and then for your next cross over, add more hair to the outside piece.
Overlap the middle piece over that section, then repeat with the outside piece on the remaining side. Continue down your scalp until you run out of pieces to add.
Then braid your hair to the itty bitty ends and secure with a thin hair tie.
In case you’re wondering, yes, this is your arm workout for the day.
Things to keep in mind:
- When you’re adding hair into each section, the smaller the sections you add, the more “curls” you’ll have when you release the braid.
- If you finger comb your sections as you braid them in, you’ll have fewer fly aways.
- Make sure you pull as tight as you can while braiding (but don’t pull so hard that it hurts). The tighter the braid the more formed your curls will be.
- To keep your ends of your braid from looking frayed, when you secure your hair with a tie loop the ends in the hair tie as shown here.
When braiding for a braid out your technique doesn’t have to be perfect to get a good result, but the more you do it, the better you get at it, and the better your results will be.
And if you get REALLY good like Morgan, you can wear your braids out of the house as a style, and release them two days later. And then wear your hair out for two to three days.
Check out how she styles her hair:
She simply completes her three braids, then wraps them into a bun, securing in place with a tie. GENIUS.
Now what about if you want to braid on dry curly hair?
It’s possible, but you’re going to have some challenges.
Braiding on dry curly hair takes longer, because sectioning the hair is harder.
You have to work through all of the tangles. And in the process you’ll probably tear through a few and cause some damage.
If you’re going to do this, be sure to use a product to give your hair some extra slip, like No-Comb Detangling Spray. This will speed up the process and it will also help fight frizz.
Braiding dry curly hair is also “bumpier” aka its harder to get the curls to stay smooth without the help of a styler. If you’re going to go this route, consider using a styling cream or a gel, adding product into each small section as you go to help hold the curls in place as you braid.
There’s also a technique used by some curly girls with tighter curl patterns, where girls will actually blow out their hair first and then braid it.
The purpose? Stretching their curls. If you’ve got a super tight curl pattern this can definitely help you maximize length, but keep in mind that using heat on your hair and stretching it can definitely make it more fragile. If you go this route, consider using a reparative mask, like Deep Sea Repair to deep condition your curls post-braid out.

Sindh Information and Local Government Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah on Friday said that Sindh will start a COVID-19 vaccination drive from Wednesday, February 3.
He was addressing a press conference at the Sindh Assembly, during which he said that the federal government has received about 500,000 vaccine doses from China, out of which Sindh has received 82,359 doses.
“In the first phase of the vaccination drive, front line healthcare workers will be inoculated, ” he said. “The Sindh health department has allocated Rs1.5 billion for COVID-19 vaccine.”
Nasir Shah said that the chief minister of Sindh has also earmarked a separate budget for the purpose.
“Sindh CM has also written a letter to prime minister Imran Khan regarding the procurement of the vaccine,” the Sindh information minister said, adding that in the beginning, vaccines will be distributed in 10 districts of the province.
Nasir Hussain Shah added that the Centre is yet to permit the Sindh government to purchase the vaccine.
“We want to vaccinate the people of Sindh free of charge,” the minister said.
The minister also touched upon the topic of cleanliness in Karachi and said that there has been “considerable improvement” in this regard.
He lamented that the Centre is yet to give Sindh its due share of Rs72 billion.

With pollution in food, air and water as well as the stressful state of emotions, one is bombarded repeatedly by hazards to optimum health and well-being.
Your daily concerns take center stage now. Here are several options you may consider with regard to your possible addictions.
Is there a quick way to kick the habit of smoking cigarettes?
It is called “butting out.” You cannot stop the addiction unless there is sufficient motivation.
To begin with, you must know the facts:
Each time you take a puff, you are inhaling 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic and DDT.
In combination, these toxic substances create free radicals (or unstable molecules missing electrons). Because these molecules are incomplete, they attack normal cells by stealing their electrons. A chain reaction of damaged cells occurs.
Enter antioxidants, which shield your cells from radical damage. While they cannot promise a miracle defense, each vitamin and mineral has potency.
This doesn’t give you the license to smoke, and then take a multivitamin supplement. The best way to rehabilitate your life is to simply quit. The anti-oxidant stars are vitamin C, E and B complex (beta-carotene).
How to quit smoking:
1. Declare it as your new non-negotiable reality.
2. Try nicotine gum or patches. Nicotine replacement products are designed to wean the body from addiction gradually. If this is the method you have chosen, then be aware that anything acidic will clear your body of nicotine faster. The point of patches is to minimize nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Go easy on orange juice, grapefruit and other acidic drinks. (Reference: Thomas M. Cooper, D.D.S. co-author of “The Cooper Clayton Method to Stop Smoking.”)
3. Join the wellness bandwagon by signing up for membership in health clubs/associations. Smoking is the number one taboo.
4. Use a buddy system. Team up with a friend who has the same goal. Make sure you check on each other’s progress.
5. Reward yourself. Set up an escalating series of prizes for yourself (depending on your budget, of course).
Month 1 – Cut down cigarettes from one pack to half or 50 percent
Prize: One whole day at the spa
Month 2 – Reduce smoking by 75 percent
Prize: Weekend stay in your favorite hotel
Month 3 – Zero smoking
Prize: Trip to Paris or go on a Philippine island-hopping vacation for two weeks with the family.
If I drink alcohol everyday, am I at risk for alcoholism?
Do you drink heavily? Most doctors agree that a glass or two of wine daily is an acceptable lifestyle habit. But beyond the limit of two servings, your habit could lead to alcoholism. When you drink to overcome a withdrawal symptom, then this is a big red flag. For example, after your second glass, you crave for more. The urge becomes greater after every drink.
A withdrawal symptom is nervousness or anxiousness.
Visit www.ncadd.org, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence Inc. Their self-test for alcoholism could guide you properly. Questions may strike a familiar chord in you.
Do you drink heavily when you are depressed, disappointed, under pressure, or have had a quarrel with a loved one?
Has a friend ever spoken to you about your drinking problem?
Do you get into scandalous situations when you are drinking?
Recent studies have shown that light to moderate drinking may be considered safe, plus there is the health benefit of lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Others, though, should check if they are sensitive to yeast (because of the process of natural fermentation) and preservatives like nitrites (which may cause headaches).
Of late, experts have increased the maximum tolerable consumption to not more than three drinks for a woman and six for a man. More than these numbers increases your risk for cancer and serious problems with the liver, brain and pancreas.
Something to ponder:
Brain researchers observed that every time alcohol is ingested, it causes the brain to convulse. Alcohol causes tremors and seizures when taken in excessive amounts.
In Braindiseases Weblog, doctors cite the CAGE criteria:
C – Cut down. Do you feel a need to cut back on your drinking?
A – Anger. Do you ever feel angry and offended when someone brings up your drinking habits?
G – Guilt. Guilty about your drinking?
E – Eye-opener. Is your drink your eye-opener each morning?
Should your drinking problem worsen, seek medical help. It doesn’t hurt to see a therapist. Alcoholism has often been related to emotional and psychological challenges.
Take charge by abstaining if you have strong will power.
Start eating and drinking nutritiously.
This week’s affirmation: “If I can will it, then I can do it.”
Love and light!
Next week: Are you addicted to sex and drugs?

LONDON (Reuters) - British singer Adele has postponed five dates of her North American tour due to laryngitis, she said on her website, frustrating fans in the United States where she has dominated charts in recent weeks.
The 23-year-old Grammy-winning artist was diagnosed with the throat complaint last week in Minneapolis, forcing her to cancel a performance at the last moment.
Adele returned to the stage in Denver at the weekend, but the comeback proved too early and she was forced to call off Sunday night’s gig in Salt Lake City.
She postponed a show on Tuesday in Vancouver, Canada, and will also reschedule performances in Seattle and Portland due later this week. According to her website, the tour will resume on June 4 in San Francisco.
Adele’s album “21” has sold around two million copies in North America, almost matching its UK tally and making her one of the few British artists who has enjoyed major chart success on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Londoner was recently voted the most powerful force in British music by the Guardian newspaper.

Back pain is a common nuisance that affects many adults, often due to a condition known as degenerative disk disease.
This ailment occurs when the disks, which act as cushions between the bones in our spine, start to deteriorate, causing significant discomfort and movement difficulties.
In the quest to alleviate this widespread issue, Douglas Beall and his team have introduced an innovative treatment known as “viable disk allograft supplementation.”
This approach involves injecting a fluid loaded with special cells into the patient’s affected disk. These cells are designed to assist the disk in regenerating healthy tissue, offering a new lease on life for those plagued by back pain.
To evaluate the effectiveness of this novel treatment, the researchers embarked on a study involving 50 participants suffering from back pain due to various causes.
The participants, representing a diverse range of ages, genders, ethnicities, and body types, were divided into two groups. One group received the groundbreaking injection, while the other was given a saline solution as a control.
The findings were encouraging, with 60% of the individuals who received the actual treatment reporting a reduction in pain by more than half. Furthermore, 70% experienced an improvement in mobility, with no adverse long-term effects reported.
This suggests that the treatment not only alleviates pain but also enhances the quality of life by enabling sufferers to resume their daily activities with ease.
One of the most significant advantages of this treatment is its non-invasive nature. Patients can receive the injection and return home the same day, avoiding the need for surgical interventions.
Additionally, this method holds the promise of reducing reliance on opioids, which are potent pain medications with a high risk of addiction and other serious side effects.
While the initial results are promising, the research team, in collaboration with VIVIEX Biologics, Inc., acknowledges the necessity for further studies to ensure the safety and efficacy of the treatment for a broader population.
It’s crucial to approach this new solution with cautious optimism, recognizing that it represents a potential step forward in the ongoing battle against back pain but is not yet a definitive cure.
As we await more comprehensive research, the prospect of a simple, effective treatment for degenerative disk disease offers hope to millions suffering from chronic back pain.
This breakthrough could pave the way to a future where back pain is a manageable condition rather than a lifelong burden, bringing us closer to the ultimate goal of restoring pain-free movement and improving overall quality of life for those affected.
If you care about pain, please read studies about how to manage your back pain, and Krill oil could improve muscle health in older people.
