Some questions for you around the Reserve Bank and their funding. Firstly, the Finance Minister is to be congratulated on her handling of the fiscal matters in reducing the expenditure by 25% – this is a DOGE like achievement. In fact, if you have been following DOGE, what they said they would do and what they have done is like a lot of the Trump output so far, mainly hot air. So in fact, Willis leaves them somewhat in her dust. Then came the revelation from the cabinet papers that a lot of the extra money the Reserve Bank had got hadn't been spent... this is possibly referred to as waste and was a good insight into how Adrian and Grant ran the place. But despite the fact it hadn't been spent, all of a sudden just before Nicola came along, it did get spent. Budgets in areas like people and tech info and data were spending like drunks. So clearly Willis has seen their scam, called their bluff, and got her way. Good on her. But the bigger question is this, with all that money, tens of millions a year, were they any good, and did that money buy good results? Were good people doing good work? Well history shows us obviously the answer is no. Our Covid response is now widely seen as inept. Our three recessions, the outworking of a complete and utter cock up when it came to handling a financial crisis. We have smaller issues still at play like the reserves for commercial banks, an out working of the OCR paranoia. For all that money we seem to have employed a Central Bank that did worse than most, to this day Treasury —and this might be on Treasury not the Reserve Bank— cannot work out the value of all that money flooding into the economy. What did it do? What was its value? If they can't work it out, did the Reserve Bank know going in or were they panicked and flying blind? Why did they give that free money to the banks with no restrictions on what happened to it next? There remain the unanswered questions years later, the out workings of which we economically are still paying for. So the 25% cut is one story, the other is what we got for our investment. How would you describe a return that bad? And given it went to the inept, is 25% enough? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Why did New Mexico's governor suspend her state's 1st and 2nd amendment? She's pushing the bounds of her power to see just how much she can get away with. Our Covid response emboldened the government to decide what you can and can't do. Looking back on 9/11. Don't let the leadership of the country change what you were fighting for. A prayer to those who are struggling. Your rights matter, until you give them up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Matt McNeil Show - AM950 The Progressive Voice of Minnesota
On today’s show: – Looking at how much money State Fair food vendors make. – Observations on how COVID impacted school test scores, and some possible solutions. – Our COVID modeling expert Dr. Joe Eastman joins us. – Michael Brodkorb joins Matt to talk about last night’s GOP debate. – More of Matt’s thoughts on…
In early April 2023, President Biden signed a bipartisan congressional resolution to end the federal government's emergency response to the COVID pandemic. What does that mean for America? How does that affect access to healthcare? Will new vaccines still be produced? Our COVID expert, Dr. Brad Pollock, joins us to answer these and other questions, including the new medical diagnosis of long COVID.
Chair: Jon Faine How should we judge Australia's response to the pandemic? We were quick to declare a pandemic, to close our borders, to grow COVID in a lab. But we could also have done better – the pandemic divided the federation and our government failed to protect the elderly or the young. Our COVID report card is mixed. Join The Age's Chief Political Reporter, Chip Le Grand, and renowned epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre for a fascinating conversation. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 9:30am on the East Stage

The wave of civil disobedience is unprecedented in mainland China since President Xi Jinping assumed power a decade ago, as frustration mounts over his signature zero-COVID policy nearly three years into the pandemic. The COVID measures are also exacting a heavy toll on the world’s second-largest economy. “I’m here because I love my country, but I don’t love my government … I want to be able to go out freely, but I can’t. Our COVID-19 policy is a game and is not based on science or reality,” said a protester in the financial hub named Shaun Xiao. Protesters also took to the streets in the cities of Wuhan and Chengdu on Sunday. In Beijing, small gatherings held peaceful vigils, while students on numerous university campuses around China gathered to demonstrate over the weekend. A fire on Thursday at a residential high-rise building in the city of Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang region, triggered protests after videos of the incident posted on social media led to accusations that lockdowns were a factor in the blaze that killed 10 people. Urumqi officials abruptly held a news conference in the early hours of Saturday to deny COVID measures had hampered escape and rescue efforts. Many of Urumqi’s 4 million residents have been under some of the country’s longest lockdowns, barred from leaving their homes for as long as 100 days. On Sunday in Shanghai, police kept a heavy presence on Wulumuqi Road, which is named after Urumqi, and where a candlelight vigil the day before turned into protests. “We just want our basic human rights. We can’t leave our homes without getting a test. It was the accident in Xinjiang that pushed people too far,” said a 26-year-old protester in Shanghai who declined to be identified given the sensitivity of the matter. “The people here aren’t violent, but the police are arresting them for no reason. They tried to grab me but the people all around me grabbed my arms so hard and pulled me back so I could escape.” By Sunday evening, hundreds of people gathered in the area. Some jostled with police trying to disperse them. People held up blank sheets of paper as an expression of protest. A Reuters witness saw police escorting people onto a bus which was later driven away through the crowd with a few dozen people on board. On Saturday, the vigil in Shanghai for victims of the apartment fire turned into a protest against COVID curbs, with the crowd chanting calls for lockdowns to be lifted. From one tyrannical government to another: https://www.dailyfetched.com/more-canadians-being-driven-to-euthanasia-to-escape-crippling-poverty/ More Canadians Being Driven to Euthanasia to Escape Crippling Poverty Amir Farsoud was on the verge of being homeless and admitted his health condition would not allow him to survive on the streets. Farsoud said that he did not want to die but could not afford to find another place to live, and instead opted for the country’s assisted suicide laws. City News Reporter Cynthia Mulligan said: “Amir Farsoud has applied for medically assisted dying, known as (MAiD) he lives in constant agony due to a back injury but has started the process for end of life.” “Because his rooming house is up for sale and he can’t find anywhere else to live that he can afford,” Mulligan added. In February, a Canadian woman with a chronic health also chose to end her life under the country’s assisted suicide laws. Meanwhile, another woman, suffering from the same condition, reached the approval to end her life. As the Guardian reported at the time: In February, a 51-year-old Ontario woman known as Sophia was granted physician-assisted death after her chronic condition became intolerable and her meager disability stipend left her little to survive on. “The government sees me as expendable trash, a complainer, useless and a pain in the ass,” she said in a video obtained by the network. For two years, she and friends had pleaded without success for better living conditions, she said. Now a second case has emerged with several parallels: another woman, known as Denise, has also applied to end her life after being unable to find suitable housing and struggling to survive on disability payments. Both were diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCR), a condition in which common chemicals, such as those in cigarette smoke and laundry detergents, can trigger nausea, blinding headaches and in extreme cases, anaphylactic shock. As Forbes reported earlier this month, Canada is often cited by those concerned about medically assisted dying as evidence of a ‘slippery slope. Its MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) law was introduced in 2016 for adults with conditions where death is reasonably foreseeable – expected within six months. It was extended to those with severe chronic but not terminal physical ailments in 2021 and will be further made available to those with severe chronic mental conditions in 2023. Currently under consideration is the possibility of advance directives for people falling into conditions like dementia that will remove decision-making ability. For some, this progression is proof of a ‘slippery slope’ – once one element is allowed, others will inevitably follow until almost anything is permitted. For others, it is a careful and considered roll-out of a new set of laws – up to, but not beyond, a logical and morally defensible limit. In truth, Canada is not particularly exceptional in its approach. Everything currently permitted there is also available in a number of other countries. In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada reversed 22 years of its jurisprudence by striking down the country’s ban on assisted suicide as unconstitutional, blithely dismissing fears that the ruling would ‘initiate a descent down a slippery slope into homicide’ against the vulnerable as founded on ‘anecdotal examples. The next year, Parliament duly enacted legislation allowing euthanasia, but only for those who suffer from a terminal illness whose natural death was ‘reasonably foreseeable,’ the spectator reported. And on that note… how about some good news? https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2022/11/27/handgun-owners-carrying-daily-in-us-doubled-in-4-years-poll-finds-n2616399 Handgun Owners Carrying Daily Doubled Thanks to Soft-on-Crime Woke Policies Americans feel less safe under President Joe Biden, and thanks to soft-on-crime woke cities, crime has surged during the last two years. As Biden continues to threaten the Second Amendment, Americans are taking their safety into their hands. According to a new study by the University of Washington, the number of U.S. adult handgun owners carrying daily nearly doubled in four years. The November 16 study found that 6 million adults carried a firearm on themselves in 2019, which is up by 3 million in 2015. Self-protection was cited as the main reason for the uptick in gun holders, with seven out of 10 saying that they carry a gun to protect themselves against other people. In 2015, only 9 million people reported carrying a handgun. Now, at least 16 million people say they carry a loaded weapon on them at least once a month. The total number of Americans owning handguns spiked from 38 million to 53 million in just a few short years. This comes as Biden called to ban assault rifles, claiming that it is “ridiculous” red flag laws are not being enforced throughout the country. He is going to attempt to pass a bill on the matter during Congress’ lame-duck session, right before Republicans take over the House, which they would most likely veto any sort of gun restricting laws. Americans have heard time and time again from Democrats how more gun laws need to be enacted. Calling it “sick” that semi-automatic weapons are still allowed, Biden has zeroed in on trying to “get rid of assault weapons.” Club Membership Plug: Let’s stop and take a moment to talk about Fight Laugh Feast Club membership.

Now finally today, this one hits close to home here in Moscow Idaho, and we ask for your prayers for the police investigating this case, as well as for the families of those who lost loved ones: https://www.foxnews.com/us/idaho-student-murders-update-police-why-key-details-withheld-from-public Idaho Student murders update: Police say why key details are being withheld from the public Two weeks have passed since authorities first began investigating the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students in Moscow, Idaho and no suspect or person of interest has been identified. Police have also not yet provided key details surrounding the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, but they are doing so intentionally, according to Aaron Snell of the Idaho State Police. During an interview on Fox News’ "Lawrence Jones Cross Country," Snell told host Lawrence Jones that investigators "don't currently have a suspect" but that keeping certain information "from view is going to be critical into trying to develop that." The Idaho police communications director answered: "It will potentially put more fear, more suspicion on a wide variety of people versus if we use that to really refine where we're at in our investigation.” Jones also spoke with former NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro, who similarly confirmed that information from criminal profilers and evidence collected at the scene was being withheld. Mauro said Saturday evening that in addition to protecting the integrity of the investigation, the scarcity of key details that have been released to the public could lead investigators to swiftly find a suspect. A murder weapon has also not been found. The four students were found dead at a house just yards from the U of I campus, hours after police say someone attacked them in their sleep. Snell said authorities also believe the attack "was a targeted incident" toward one or more of the three women who lived there. Chapin, the sole male victim did not live at the home and was visiting his girlfriend, Kernodle. As for who was the target, that information is not publicly known. Snell also assured community members that investigators are utilizing the best technology available to get a picture of the series of events of Nov. 13. Another concern Snell addressed is the potential contamination of the crime scene, as two roommates are believed to have been in the home at the time of the murders. They are cooperative and have been ruled out as suspects. Other people were invited into the home between when the bodies were initially found and when law enforcement arrived but Snell said the investigation was not compromised. All individuals who were in the home when police arrived have been cleared.

Our COVID stories, RIP Meatloaf, Mr. Goodbar, selling foot pics! Attention-seeking behavior is the worst, and having fingers is great!
I really wanted to start this year with some positives and talk about what an improved and developed plan we had with Covid given all our experience now, and all we've seen unfold from overseas. But sadly, that's not the case. This whole thing has a Groundhog Day vibe about it. I mean, how come we're still, as we go into our third year of this pandemic, still being reactive and responding on the hoof. It beggars belief that lessons have not been learned, plans have not been made, preparations have not gotten into full swing. We are behind on RAT kits, way behind, it's woeful, it's the vaccine rollout all over again. We have no greater ICU capacity than when we started, in fact suggestions are we even have fewer ICU beds than when we started. We have not bolstered our health workforce, we have not advanced our tragic and cruel MIQ system, we have not boosted enough people or jabbed enough children, because again, we were too slow with our vaccine rollout. It just all feels so repetitive, doesn't it? Why can't they learn the lesson? Why is the Government so slow on the uptake? Why'd they take an elongated holiday when they should've been planning and sorting and preparing? Why are they so allergic to the private sector and reticent to include them more? Are they afraid of the private sector? Or are they just so arrogant now they think they know best, better than any established business? Most importantly, why are we still asking these questions? How can all the same mistakes still be made? If you hear from the Government, when they've bothered rolling back into the office from the beach, they'll tell you they're world leading. They're faultless, blameless, it's all perfect, we should be so proud of them. The fact they're still peddling this crap and still in self-congratulatory mode also worries me. It's delusional. They're backwards focused. “We shut the borders in 2020, we did so well..” it's all backward thinking, it's two-year-old news. We are living in the here and now. How many businesses look at KPI's or performance reviews and go, “Oh well it's a bit of a mess at the moment but two years ago was really good.” No one does that, because it's not real. It's not relevant, it's not honest. So why should we be expected to buy into that tosh from our government? Our Rapid Antigen Testing situation is embarrassing, our MIQ lottery is embarrassing, our hermit mentality is embarrassing, our lack of vaccination coverage for children and booster coverage is embarrassing. Our Covid response looks antiquated and fear driven, and stale. But if you listen to this Government and it's cheerleaders, we should be over the moon about it. The disconnect here is actually beyond embarrassing, it's tragic.

It's the last day of the month with just 31 days before a new year. But we're NOT through with 2021 yet. DHS Sec. Mayorkas went "all-Stalin" declaring "his" department has decided to NOT refer illegals who commit crimes for criminal prosecution. Forget about that "Rule of Law" thing! A federal employee arbitrarily decides to ignore federal immigration laws. Pres. Biden apparently agrees. Our COVID-19 Gov't charade gets stepped up a notch or two with a "new" variant: Omicron. And already folks in the U.S. are facing lockdowns again regardless of no Science that says we should. There was no Science suggesting lockdowns previously!
Town Square with Ernie Manouse airs at 3 p.m. CT. Tune in on 88.7FM, listen online or subscribe to the podcast. Join the discussion at 888-486-9677, questions@townsquaretalk.org or @townsquaretalk. There are vaccine and mask mandates all around us put in place to keep us safe. But there are still challenges… Not everyone is getting vaccinated. Some are facing penalties and attempts at religious exemptions. Others are not being paid until they comply or losing their jobs. On the other hand, industries are working to build back consumer confidence. The Hobby Center is laying down safety measures so you can enjoy a relaxed & safe night out which includes PCR test from a third party lab must be taken within 72 hours prior to attending the event for those who are unvaccinated and proof of vaccination for those who are. The stakes are high for those who dismiss the new protocols attempting to check out the latest performance. Besides the higher risk of infection, any ticket holder who does not comply with any pandemic-related health protocol may be required to leave the theater without a refund. Still many feel this is all too extreme –So how do we return to normal while COVID-19 is still killing close to 2,000 Americans each day? Our COVID expert joins us to discuss these new measures, how George Washington plays a role in vaccine mandates, and more. Kirk Goodman Director of Booking and Events for The Hobby Center Dr. Susan McLellan Medical Director of the Biocontainment Treatment Unit and the Director of Biosafety for Research-related Infectious Pathogens at UTMB Health in Galveston Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues. Audio from today's show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.

The Covid vaccine roll out continues at pace, but at what point should we start planning for covid booster shots? An Oxford University study published last month found Covid vaccines do not protect people as well even after three months. It found the Pfizer vaccine was 75 percent effective in preventing infection after 90 days, down from 85 percent two weeks after the second shot. The study is not yet peer-reviewed. In the United Kingdom, half a million people with weakened immunity are being offered a third dose of the vaccine in order to improve their protection against the virus, and health officials are discussing whether to roll out a booster programme. Our Covid 19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins has said New Zealand could have as many as two million doses left over for use as boosters if the science and officials recommend it. Meanwhile the WHO is asking wealthy countries to delay buying excess supplies to ensure poorer countries can at least get their first and second shots. Kathryn speaks with Professor David Hunter is a Professor of Epidemiology at Oxford University and Professor of Medicine, Emeritus at Harvard Medical School.

Have many Americans become Charlie Brown while Lucy, AKA Fauci, pulls the football away time after time? Congressman Andy Biggs chimes in about the Covid war, the Afghanistan war, Liz Cheney, phone records and more. Plus, Biggs bill, if you received federal dollars, you shouldn't be able to tell workers they need to be vaccinated, especially if they've already gotten Covid. Are eviction moratoriums coming back? What's Pelosi trying re Roe v Wade and the Texas abortion bill? Finally, what consequences will President Biden face after the disastrous Afghanistan withdraw? “There will be people that probably have committed crimes here” Biggs. (19:01-31:05)Apple delays the release of their controversial plan to scan your photos. Are printed id's gonna be a thing of the past? Arizona now allows state id's with the Apple Wallet, for now at airports and thru the TSA. Plus, a listener asks why Jeff is still so harsh on Governor Ducey. (32:52-43:22) Who thinks of this stuff? FUSD….are they just making s*** up. Think tank cubicle warriors come up with an incoherent plan the makes exceptions to their own supposed #science.

Your support and partnership is appreciated as we continue to address challenges related to COVID-19. Please review the following Information regarding the Flagstaff Unified School District's response efforts. K-12 Quarantine Guidelines The Coconino County Health and Human Services Department has authorized the Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) implementation of updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which changes the close contact definition and quarantine guidelines. With the requirement of staff, students, and visitors to wear face masks, while indoors on school district property, FUSD qualifies for the following K-12 school exception: In the K-12 indoor classroom setting, the close contact definition excludes students who were within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student (laboratory-confirmed or a clinically compatible illness) if both the infected student and the exposed student(s) correctly and consistently wore well-fitted masks the entire time. This exception does not apply to teachers, staff, or other adults in the indoor classroom setting. What does this mean for FUSD? Since students and staff are required to wear masks at all times while indoors, except while eating and drinking, we will not have to quarantine students who are identified as close/direct contact as long as masks were worn properly while at school. Our COVID support team will be investigating the positive student's movement through the day to determine times when a mask may not have been worn properly. Unvaccinated students will be required to quarantine if the Coconino County Health and Human Services and FUSD COVID Support Team determines that masks were not worn properly during contact with COVID-19 positive persons. “Notice of COVID-19 Exposure” notifications will be sent to FUSD families for students in the same class or classes as COVID-19 positive individuals. This is good news for our students and staff. This will reduce the potential for learning loss and students getting behind in school because of repeated quarantine requirements. We will continue to monitor correct mask wearing in our buildings and will send regular reminders home to families to monitor their student's health each day, and to not send students to school who are sick or who had a direct contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Outbreak Determinations The Coconino County Health and Human Services Department, in coordination with the FUSD COVID Support Team, uses several factors to designate schools as being in outbreak status including the number of positive cases, students quarantining with symptoms and/or pending test results, and students marked absent for illness during a two-week period. Actions taken by FUSD may include closing the school temporarily for a designated period of time to reduce interactions among students and staff to minimize possible transmission of COVID-19 at the site, and completing enhanced cleaning and air purification. Decisions to close schools and transition to temporary remote learning are made only when deemed necessary. Notifications about outbreak designations will be sent to FUSD families via phone, email, and text. Families and students should be prepared to transition to temporary remote learning with little advance notice, including students taking iPad devices and other needed materials home each day. COVID-19 Health Metrics and Positive Case Dashboard The Flagstaff Unified School District provides families, team members, and the community weekly updates regarding the overall risk level for COVID-19 and a data dashboard for confirmed COVID-19 cases. Information is updated each Friday and is available at the FUSD website. Health Metrics: https://www.fusd1.org/healthmetrics Positive Case Dashboard: https://www.fusd1.org/covid19dashboard Information and Questions Information about our Mitigation Strategies for the 2021-2022 school year are available on the FUSD website: https://www.fusd1.org/Page/18853. COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Getting vaccinated doesn't just help protect you, it also helps protect those around you who haven't yet been vaccinated including young children. With the FDA-approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, the public can be very confident that this vaccine meets the high standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality. FUSD strongly encourages families, staff and eligible students to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Additional information regarding vaccines and vaccination locations please visit Coconino County website: https://www.coconino.az.gov/2547/Vaccine-Info Questions or concerns can be directed to covidhelp@fusd1.org.
So many of us are feeling overwhelmed right now. The fearmongering news content. The endless angry social media exchanges. There has never been a more important time to seek out information sources that can provide clear, unbiased information. With so much anxiety around Covid, we need genuine evidence-based hope for a future beyond the crisis. Thankfully, it is available.

Listen now to Dr.Mrs.Future Show with Bobby Be Wilder 8.10.2021 “Oh where oh where did our little sample go?” This question of the moment for NASA, regarding the missing Martian sample, the very first sample extracted from the Martian regolith by ‘Percy’, our drill-equipped rover on the red planet. Greg P from Long Beach texted, “The Chinese rover stole it!” Hmmm, now just where did that Chinese rover land? Sleuthing the “Thermal Inertial Signature” of an asteroidDid you know you tell tell what materials are in a rock by it’s heat signature? Yep, NASA has pioneered sensors measuring not just the heat emanating from an asteroid, but it’s ‘thermal inertia signature,’ the changes in asteroid temperature as it hurtles towards or away from the Sun., thereby calculating what materials make up the rock. You can identify a material by the way it heats up or cools down. Who knew? Our Covid focus this week covers No Agenda’s latest assasination attempt on CNN, regarding their ‘pathetic’ attempts to get more Covid advertising dollars. We play and discuss the one minute video (Thanks No Agenda, for clip) of Fauci suggesting that anti-viral pills are in the future..“‘PfizerMectin’, anyone?”

The Astros bring us “feudalism” as our vocabulary lesson, the LPBRC looks the other way with Roberto Alomar, and both the player’s union and officials from the City of Oakland call the commissioner’s office on operating in bad faith. And still our biggest rant involves cross-training with high school softball in North Carolina and, yes, questionable rules about hair. Albert Pujols finds a home with the Dodgers, Jarred Kelenic gets a curtain call, and Jose Abreu and Hunter Dozier collide. Our COVID report tries to explain the breakthrough cases among vaccinated Yankees, and what’s up with the Padres. In Taiwan, a disturbing upswing in infections cause the league to suspend CPBL games, at least temporarily. Women’s baseball kicks off this week in the UK. All this and Diamondback dances, Duck Dynasty, and liberal use of words like “honkin’” and “frickin.” Watch for our special episode with DC Girls Baseball to drop later this week.Wash your hands, wear your masks, watch your distance, get your vaccine as soon as you can, and fight the man.

All public Richmond and Henrico Health Districts COVID-19 vaccination events are now available on a walk-up basis to any eligible person. Though scheduling a time to be vaccinated is not required anymore, residents still can do so if they choose by visiting http://vax.rchd.com or calling (804) 205-3501. “Our COVID-19 vaccination events have more appointments available for a variety of reasons- significant progress in the vaccination effort, increased community supply, more vaccination opportunities at pharmacies and doctors’ offices, and some hesitancy,” said RHHD Nurse Manager Amy Popovich. “Because of this, we can be less reliant on our registration systems.

Jesse is is a clinical research practitioner at the NIHR Nottingham Clinical Research Facility. He was initially drawn to lab work because he liked being able to get to a neat clean answer - but then Covid-19 hit and life stopped being neat and mathematical, and he's discovered that meeting patients, and training colleagues can be just as satisfying. Our COVID-19 Research Heroes were designed to recognise the contribution of individuals and teams working in NUH, the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre and the NIHR Clinical Research Centre in battling the virus. We'll be posting more interviews with them over the next few weeks.

Now more than ever, brand attraction and trust matter. Here are six easy ways to create more interest in your brand right away. Invest in good imagery. Go minimalist in your brand communication. Short and to the point. Always have a clear call to action. Make sure your COVID plan in person is in line with what you promise. Treat members and prospects exceptionally. Be visibly relatable. The guys will talk specifics on how to get better imagery that is more emotionally appealing to prospects, why a ton of fluff on your website is a bad move, why you need a very clear and easy method to experience your gym for the first time, why disconnect with your COVID experience from what you promise can immediately kill trust, a reminder why member care matters, and the importance of creating and maintaining a daily "voice" for your brand.

The Mayor of Thames-Coromandel is welcoming the Govenrment's new Covid plan, but wants to ensure the services are there to look after people. Our Covid-19 resurgence plan's been unveiled - including the worst case scenario of someone testing positive after being at a big festival in a different region.Because there's a high risk of widespread transmission, people would need to temporarily stay where they are.Should there be a case at a campsite, Kiwis could see targeted alert levels changes; but if a border worker tests positive, we'd likely stay at alert level one.Director General of Health Ashley Bloomfield says Kiwis should stay put if there's a Covid outbreak where they are this summer.He told media today they should wait for advice and information."It's very important in the first instance that people don't rush to get home and potentially take the virus with them."Thames-Coromandel Mayor Sandra Goudie told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the plan is reasonably sensible, but the wrap-around services need to be there. "It's something to try and contain it to a pretty localised area, so if you've got a campground you can keep it within the campground as much as you like, bearing in mind that people do come and go."She says that there are a lot of people packed into these packs. "The crowds are huge, so the lines at some of the facilities are very long."Goudie says the Government will need to come through with the "goods and services" and assist with costs should people be locked down in a campground. She says people should wash their hands and do the right thing, and keep those extra precautions up during the summer.
Our COVID commanders, from governors and mayors to doctors, can be seen violating their own orders all over the world, in airports, parties and government buildings, telling us to do as they say, but not as they do. This is the simplest proof that health concerns are not as severe as we've been led to believe. It also means that all these commands have not prevented the perceptual worsening of the situation. Further, these demands are meant to separate people and prevent unification. Throughout the entire year, we have seen attempts to restrict the fourth of July, religious gatherings, weddings, funerals, and now Thanksgiving and Christmas, despite official court rulings that many of these restriction are unconstitutional. COVID commanders don't care, they only want you to be thankful to them.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.14.296889v1?rss=1 Authors: Dogan, T., Atas, H., Joshi, V., Atakan, A., Rifaioglu, A. S., Nalbat, E., Nightingale, A., Saidi, R., Volynkin, V., Zellner, H., Cetin-Atalay, R., Martin, M., Atalay, V. Abstract: Systemic analysis of available large-scale biological and biomedical data is critical for developing novel and effective treatment approaches against both complex and infectious diseases. Owing to the fact that different sections of the biomedical data is produced by different organizations/institutions using various types of technologies, the data are scattered across individual computational resources, without any explicit relations/connections to each other, which greatly hinders the comprehensive multi-omics-based analysis of data. We aimed to address this issue by constructing a new biological and biomedical data resource, CROssBAR, a comprehensive system that integrates large-scale biomedical data from various resources and store them in a new NoSQL database, enrich these data with deep-learning-based prediction of relations between numerous biomedical entities, rigorously analyse the enriched data to obtain biologically meaningful modules and display them to users via easy-to-interpret, interactive and heterogenous knowledge graph (KG) representations within an open access, user-friendly and online web-service at https://crossbar.kansil.org. As a use-case study, we constructed CROssBAR COVID-19 KGs (available at: https://crossbar.kansil.org/covid_main.php) that incorporate relevant virus and host genes/proteins, interactions, pathways, phenotypes and other diseases, as well as known and completely new predicted drugs/compounds. Our COVID-19 graphs can be utilized for a systems-level evaluation of relevant virus-host protein interactions, mechanisms, phenotypic implications and potential interventions.

Another week to start, and another week closer to everything going back to normal. Our COVID numbers aren't too shabby, though our air is still pretty yuck. When will we be able to enjoy the outdoors safely, we've got details, as well as news about restaurants, busiensses, and activities around Richmond.
There's not a lot of great news today. Our COVID numbers are a mixed bag, but our air quality is downright awful. With more lightning predicted in the next few days, we'll have to stick together and be prepared, and open our hearts to our community. But we can do that.
Our COVID number feed from the state is still jacked up, but we've got what the county is reporting as accurate for the day. We also answer the question: Okay, so I tested positive; now what?
Our COVID-19 impact review series continues as we review special master appointments and importantly we will explore the creative ways we can incorporate masters into our litigation cases on a variety of issues (not simply discovery).

CALL IN 510-730-3088. We're starting a new week with bad news and worse news. Sorry. Our COVID numbers are not good at all, and worse, our July 1 business openings are on hold because of it. We'll talk about it, as well as community news and details of last weekend's horrible crash near Keller.
A lot has been happening in the COVID-19 space as community transmission in Victoria continues to rise. Our COVID-19 blogger takes us through the highlights from the week - including the long-awaited results from the dexamethasone study.
Whatever else has happened to you over the past few months, you've more than likely been keeping up with everything that's going on, by checking the news. Along with NPR, some of Louisiana's most reliable news sources are the local New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Acadiana editions of the daily newspaper, The Advocate. Both in print and online. The Publisher of all of the editions of The Advocate is Judi Terzotis. The last time Judi was on Out to Lunch, back in February - which now seems like a lifetime ago - she was talking about how The Advocate was bucking national newspaper trends. In the face of shrinking circulations and streamlined newsrooms in most other places, The Advocate was hiring reporters, it was growing newsrooms, it had recently acquired the New Orleans Times Picayune, it was seeing new revenue streams from merchandising and live events… Everything seemed to be humming along. Then Covid 19 hit. Now, when you go to the Advocate's website there's an advertisement that says “Our Covid 19 news team needs your help,” and there's a “Donate” button. It's been reported that journalists at The Advocate have taken pay cuts, and that 10% of the New Orleans newsroom has been temporarily furloughed. What was it about the pandemic that turned The Advocate from an outlier media success story into a newspaper that's having a tough time? Latinx Entrepreneurs There's no two ways about it - this is a tough time to be in business. There is help available to get through this rough patch – in the form of business loans, and even grants. Some are through Federal agencies, some are from State agencies, and there's money available from city governments in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette. Getting a hold of this money is not easy. Typically, businesses benefit by being a member of a business alliance to help them navigate the maze of regulation and bureaucracy. But some businesses are too small to join alliances like the Chamber of Commerce. For those small owner-operator businesses, getting access to financial expertise of any kind is challenging. You might be a great hairdresser, house painter, or plumber, but that doesn't mean you have great – or even any - business skills. Now, imagine having the added problem of not being able to speak English. That's the position many Latinx self-employed people find themselves in, in Louisiana. And that's why there's an organization called El Centro. El Centro provides business assistance for Latinx entrepreneurs. Lindsey Navarro is Executive Director of El Centro. There's a local Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, but that's not El Centro. If there was ever an organization that truly exists to help the little guy, it's El Centro.

Our COVID-19 extraordinary reality is a daily fact of life for loving caregivers of service members and veterans. On Memorial Day, we honor their sacrifices and are inspired by their courage and selfless acts of caregiving. How do they keep going, finding fulfillment while they mature and thrive? Caregivers' source of motivation can make a big difference - whether they are seeking fulfillment in external or internal rewards. Connecting with personal, internal or intrinsic goals, combined with solid practices of self-care, provides military caregivers the strength they need to continue to meet the challenges they face.

Our COVID-19 episode last week had the most listens we've ever had in the first few days. So we've decided to do a series of episodes exploring habits for this unique moment of time we find ourselves in. Healthy rhythms while navigating a global pandemic and things like social isolation etc.
This week Rob discusses philanthropy in Washington County with Max Williams and Todd Baker. Todd Baker, President of Baker Rock Resources Baker Rock Resources has been in Oregon for over 60 years and emphasizes giving back to and reinvesting in local communities in its business model. Each year, Baker Rock Resources hosts and supports numerous walks, fundraisers, community auctions, drives, and community events. Baker Rock Resources also assists countless local and regional organizations that help those who need a hand up, particularly veterans. Max Williams, CEO, Oregon Community Foundation The Oregon Community Foundation is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and businesses with directing charitable contributions and creating charitable funds. OCF is Oregon's largest public charity. Formerly a lawyer, legislator, leader of the Oregon Department of Corrections, Max assumed his role as OCF president and CEO in 2012. He has helped individuals, families and businesses transform their philanthropy into sustained, community-driven impact, doubling the Foundation's endowment in seven years. Our COVID-19 Practices When you look at the photo from this week's interview, it may appear that our production staff at Inside Washington County is ignoring social distancing recommendations from the Oregon Health Authority. Appearances can be deceiving. That's why we want you to know that this interview was recorded on February 5, 2020, before COVID-19 warnings surfaced. We put concern over health risks to our guests and staff well ahead of our goal to bring you weekly interviews. Our commitment to social distancing changed the way we conducted the last four interviews in our broadcast season. As much as we enjoy meeting our guests face-to-face, we requested virtual interviews instead. While the virtual model put an extra load on our guests and staff, we were pleased to receive a 100-percent agreement!
