    NYE Party: Formula for Fun (With or Without Kids)

    One of the best small group NYE parties that we’ve had to date is super easy to execute—and it works well with or without kids!

    Details (including recipe and product links) follow below but here’s the gist:

    • easy yet super tasty food options
    • festive, simple decorations
    • curated list of highly rated games
    • guest selected games or activities that change up every hour

    I know it may sound a little dorky to play games at a New Year’s Eve party but it’s actually super fun! If you want to have more time for mingling, consider waiting to start games until 8 or 9 pm so that there are a number of hours of mingling and noshing. Or have the kids play games for the first few hours while the adults mingle and then set up a movie for the kids at which point the adults shift into game mode.

    One year we requested pajama attire which helps get the little ones into bed more easily, yet you can skip this for grown-ups if you’d like in lieu of more festive attire. The same year we had toddlers attending so we started at 4:30 pm and put the youngest kids to bed well before midnight. Other years haven’t started until 6 pm, served cocktails and dinner and then began playing games at 8 pm.

    So, you’re probably thinking, how does the game system work to make it a better party? And how do you pull this off?

    You pair a balloon with a game and inside the balloon is the game’s title. As guests arrive, they choose which game or activity they’d like to play then set it and then follow the step by steps below for a fun filled evening!

    After your guests pick their preferred game, you gather the corresponding balloon and group it with the other chosen balloons, then at the top of every hour a guest picks one and pops it. Next, everyone plays the game that was noted inside the balloon. It’s great because most everyone gets to play their favorite and, even if it’s not your fav, you’ll only be playing it for a short time.

    Buffet meal

    Something about New Years and how people trickle in to a party, pushes me to do a buffet every time. I set out all the food at the party’s start, pared down to snacks around 8 pm +/- and at midnight a breakfast casserole is served to counter balance any cocktails and send people home with a full tummy.

    Specific menu suggestions are below, including links to my tried and true recipes:

    • Keep it simple yet hearty to balance the cold weather: things like pulled pork sandwiches which I make in the slow cooker and shortcut by buying BBQ sauce and using pre-cut slaw mix and adding bacon plus nicer blue cheese dressing, a baked potato bar, soups or chili with a variety of breads.
    • ‘Breakfast for Dinner’ buffet is easy to do and inexpensive plus people (especially kids) love it; it’s great for buffet service as well since almost all of it can be delicious at room temperature. Specific ‘Breakfast for Dinner’ suggestions include:
      • Sausage and croissant casserole  – this is a family favorite!
      • Biscuits and gravy, or biscuits with cheddar, ham and mustard using bakery made or Pillsbury ready to bake biscuits.
      • Fried chicken and waffles are a super popular combo these days – get take out chicken to lighten your workload.
      • Waffle or pancake bars are another pretty easy, make ahead options and are a nice way to include fruit in the menu; or copy my friend who pre-makes the batter and stores it in a lidded pitcher, heats up her waffle iron and has her guests make their own waffles.
      • Tex-mex breakfast casserole is another fav of mine and it allows for easy side dish options like chips, salsa, guacamole, refried beans, Spanish rice and more.
    • If you’d like guests to add to the food, yet want to be sure there’ll be a good mix of items try:
      • using the ‘What to Bring’ app on Evite where you list out quantities and requests for folks to choose from.
      • ask guests to add whether they want to bring ‘sweet’ or ‘savory’ on an online invite.
      • individually ask people to bring fairly specific things (like a quiche, green salad, etc.).
    • Drink wise, the obvious option is champagne and champagne cocktails like The Parasol  or a French 75  although it feels like many folks don’t love champagne in the same way I do, so it’s good to offer another signature cocktail option as well as wine and beer.
    • Non-alcoholic offerings can be a juice bar, something simple like lemonade. If you’re up for the extra work and want to elevate your offerings, try something extra fancy like Italian Sodas or Shirley Temples  which kids go nuts for.
    • Desserts can be anything but I’d recommend keeping it easy and kid friendly: donuts, brownies or cookies. Cake and pie work well too but you’ll need to provide forks and plates so I often find finger foods only best.

    Festive, simple decorations: 5 Easy Steps are discussed in Part 1

    Great games for a crowd:

    Activities Set Up

    It feels more festive if you opt for helium balloons. In order to keep the surprise element and added fun going, it’s crucial that you only use 1 or 2 colors of balloons.  If you don’t have time to go buy helium balloons, just use good ‘ole lung power and blow them up.

    Helium balloons or not, the premise and guidelines are the same. It may look like a complicated system but once you read through each step, you’ll see that it’s really quite simple and straight forward with a little bit of preparation:

    • Each balloon has a folded-up piece of paper inside it such that the name of the game is kept secret thus only use all identical colored and sized paper and fold them the same way.
    • Pre-write the game names and insert the folded game slip into the balloon before filling it—if getting helium balloons, be sure to bring the game slips to the store.
    • Mark the balloons securely but temporarily until you get home and pair them up with the correct game.
    • Use ribbon or string to tie a bow (not a knot—as they need to be removable) on the correct balloon on the its matching game; I like to vary the length of the ribbon for a prettier display.
    • Arrange the games and the corresponding balloon on a table; be sure to offer a few more than the number of guests and also display a variety of games: luck and strategy, easy and challenging.
    • As guests arrive, ask them to choose their favorite and set the game/balloon in a separate spot, which leaves a pool of possible games for other guests to choose from; it helps to have simple instructions framed or taped on the wall.
    • Also, have guests write their name on a small piece of paper and place it in a jar.
    • Once all guests have selected the games, detach the balloons from the games, mix them up and display the balloons.
    • Mix up the jar of guest names and once dinner is finished, draw a name randomly from the jar and then that person then chooses a balloon and pops it or gets a brave kid to pop it for them.
    • A person familiar with the game gives quick instructions before beginning and everyone plays!
    • Be sure to set 1 hour on a timer! Trust me when I tell you that people get super absorbed in certain games and you’ll run past your cut-off time otherwise.
    • Find a way to denote which games are suitable for younger kids if little ones are participating. Be sure to choose these early on so that they can turn in early if needed or be shifted to movie time.

    Remember to stop a few minutes before midnight to refill everyone’s glass!

    Hopefully this party plan helps you enjoy New Year’s with your friends and family in a new way!

    Cheers to a fantastic 2019!

On the 16th anniversary of its original release, ARMAGEDDA is proud to present a proper reissue of their pivotal second album, Only True Believers.

Pillars of the early 2000s black metal underground, Sweden's ARMAGEDDA exuded an authentically ancient air despite their youthful years. The black metal underground back then was a purer, more traditionalist iteration of what it is today, and within that staunchly ideological landscape did ARMAGEDDA prove their fiery intent with their 2001 debut album, The Final War Approaching, and more so with its follow-up in 2003, Only True Believers - the title itself a statement of intent, naturally. Alas, as many passionate young men are wont to do, the duo of A. and Graav became restless with the shackles of supposedly "true" black metal and began plotting their next move, one that would drive deeper into the true heart of "black metal" whilst exhibiting the unorthodoxy of approach that once endeared the genre to sonic revolutionaries. And while that would manifest in the band's third and final album, the shockingly mature Ond Spiritism, it is with Only True Believers where ARMAGEDDA found the perfect synthesis of ideology and imagination.

On its surface, Only True Believers is built upon the firm foundation of Darkthrone's classic 1992-1994 years - which, it must be said, so are thousands of other black metal releases, conservatively speaking, past and present. Where ARMAGEDDA differ at this point is in their fervent, feverish execution that's almost swinging. The trance-inducing tempos are brisk and pulsing, instilling that ancient diabolism so crucial to true all-caps BLACK METAL, but underpinning them is a distinctly levitational aspect that's largely down to the unique swing of the drumming. Elsewhere, the guitars are bellicose and bulldozing, beefing up the usually thin, emaciated style of riffing utilized in that hallowed Darkthrone template. The vocals, in kind, harangue and holler with the all-consuming, ever-righteous devotion of True Believers, inducing a chill paradoxically at odds with the furnace-fed fire created by ARMAGEDDA's black metal. But, above all, it's how all these elements come together as a totality that makes Only True Believers more than just a "black metal record"; rather, it is an experience, and one created unselfconsciously in the moment, but also standing cold 'n' alone for posterity. In other words, a monument...

As the solemn last notes of closing instrumental "Ghostwood" ring out, retroactively signaling a significant sea-change to come for ARMAGEDDA, it's high time to pay respects to the dead and believe, once again, what Only True Believers did. Long may those fires walk with them!

Colorado highway closures spread far and wide

Highway closures continue in areas of Denver, portions of northern Colorado and points west of the Front Range today due to flooding, and rock and mudslides.
Due to the amount of saturation and possible unstable conditions of state highways, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) advises motorists to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary in the following counties: Boulder, Larimer, Weld, Jefferson, Clear Creek and Gilpin.

Weather and flooding in these counties will continue to impact roadways. Additionally, while a roadway may appear passable, those near water flow may have damage that may not be apparent. Many highways and bridges will remain closed as a precaution until crews are able to evaluate whether or not they are safe for use.
The following roadways are closed to traffic (both directions unless noted):

· Interstate 70 westbound at Beaver Brook (rockslide east of Twin Tunnels)- Anticipate one lane traffic in each direction open in approximately one hour
· Interstate 25 southbound from Wyoming border to SH 402
· Interstate 25 northbound from State Highway (SH) 7 to SH 14
· Interstate 25 southbound SH 14 to SH 402
· I-25 Northbound / Southbound Ramps to State Highway 119
· I-70 eastbound off-ramp to Quebec Street
· I-70 eastbound off-ramp to southbound I-225
· U.S. 6 (Vasquez Boulevard) between 60th Avenue and 74th Avenue
· U.S. 34 between Glade Road and Estes Park
· U.S. 36 eastbound from Table Mesa Drive to 96th Street
· U.S. 36 between Boulder and Estes Park
· SH 119 between Boulder and Nederland (Boulder Canyon)
· SH 119 between County Line Road and I-25
· SH 14 between Ted’s Place and Walden
· U.S. 287 at Big Thompson River in Loveland
· SH 7 between Lyons and Estes Park
· SH 8 between Morrison and U.S. 285
· SH 30 (Havana Street/Aurora) at Alameda Avenue
· SH 44 (104th Avenue) at Riverdale Road
· SH 52 eastbound from County Road (CR) 1 and U.S. 287
· SH 60 at CR 46
· SH 66 between 53rd Street (Longmont) and Lyons
· SH 66 between CR 13 and CR 19
· SH 72 between 72nd and 80th avenues
· SH 72 between SH 93 and SH 119 (Coal Creek Canyon
· SH 72 at Allenspark
· SH 74 at CR 73 (Evergreen)
· SH 83 (Parker Road) between Florida and Jewell avenues
· SH 93 between 64th Avenue and SH 128
· SH 265 (Old Brighton Road) at Colorado Boulevard (Commerce City).

Again, CDOT is advising the public to avoid all travel on state highways and bridges in areas where excessive rain and flooding has occurred unless absolutely essential.

Sunny coffee break in the garden

The afternoon’s warm sunshine urged me out into the garden for a coffee break. The fresh air and blue sky were delightful and I enjoyed a chai tea latte in my old KNX1070 Newsradio mug (from my first job in news writing).

Pretty orange poppies surrounded my little bench with bright aloe flowers in the background. I played James Taylor songs from my phone and Mama joined me, dancing to the music.

In the early evening, the sky suddenly opened up with gigantic raindrops that drenched me as I rushed to ensure we hadn’t left anything outside. The drastic change in weather was peculiar and made us all the more glad we’d enjoyed the backyard when we could.

Today’s #OneGoodThing with Mama was a sunny coffee break in the garden! Happy Easter to those who celebrate! What was your #OneGoodThing today? Please share in the comments! Kindness is Everything.

Day 103 of 366. And Day 1,564 in a row (here’s the first 366, & the following 365, & the third year of 365 good things, & the 4th year of good things)!

On this day…

Meet A.G. Grey.

What is your earliest memory of writing?

Other than learning to write the alphabet in kindergarten, I can remember very vividly a project we were assigned in 7th grade.

The project was to write a book that we would then have a chance to share with an elementary class. I’ll never forget how excited I was to put my ideas down on paper and create an actual story.

I may have been a little too excited as my story ended up being rather long which I only realized while I was reading it out-loud to the poor class that was polite enough to listen.

How did you get started in your writing career?

I’ve always had a love for stories and have had a dream or goal of someday being published.

After having our first son, I started reading children’s books to him every evening before bed. As we read book after book, we inevitably found some books weren’t that great, and I started wondering how some of them even became published altogether.

My next thought was that if they could do it, why couldn’t I?

The main thing that held me back for a long time was my lack of illustration abilities. Then, we found “The Book With No Pictures” which served as immense inspiration to me. Around the same time, my oldest son said to me, “let’s read a book we’ve never read before” and it clicked!

That night I started drafting “A Book Never Read Before” which became my first published book.

Do you write in multiple genres?

I will certainly dabble in almost any genre, but I feel my strengths currently are in children’s literature. I don’t think it’s difficult to transition, but I do think writers should be aware of their strengths.

What comes to you first: title, character or setting?

The very first idea I had for a children’s book was for a character. That idea, however, never really fully developed. My subsequent ideas have mostly started with a concept so to speak.

What is your latest book about?

My newest book, “Imaginary Pictures” is about a whimsical character named Milo who can only be seen by people with really good imaginations. Milo really likes to share his fantastic pictures with people that can see them. The description of each gets kids roaring with laughter. I’m currently crowd-funding publication for this book so please check it out here —

Where can people find you and all of your amazing projects?

I can be found many different ways:
First and foremost until October 14th through Kickstarter:
Instagram: A.G. Grey

Thank you, A.G. That was great!
Thanks again for the interview.

You can get your copy of A Book Never Read on Amazon!

Young Jefe Leo is a 21-year-old artist from Gilroy, California. A year after leaving California to pursue his career in Portland his stepfather was murdered, which left him despaired, angered and vengeful, feelings that inevitably found an outlet in his music.

From the recent histrionic track ‘POW POW’ to the vibrant number ‘Knee Deep’, Young Jefe Leo is known for the energy and temperament that he puts into his music, advancing his brand despite the toxic influence of a variety of drugs and a problematic emotional status.

After a long pause, this promising artist seems to be ready to finally return to the scene, bringing the punch, the message and the caliber of his musical delivery to the masses. He focused on how to become sober, overcoming the depression born from the murder of his stepfather, and was busy getting sponsored by FNX_FIT and increasing his audience on Instagram.

Today Young Jefe Leo seems ready to return in style, with a lot of new music that he promises to release soon. That’s why we caught up with him for a short interview. Keep on reading to find out more.

Young Jefe Leo
Young Jefe Leo

Why have you been so quiet with music lately?

I have just been focusing on myself and dealing with sobriety. It’s been a journey, but I feel like I’ve finally beat depression and am working on bigger and better things along with my sponsor, FNX_FIT.

How do you make your tracks personal and organic?

I make them personal and organic by just soaking in a lot of knowledge from life and putting it down on a piece of paper to take to the studio.

Does the music come first, or do you focus on the lyrics the most?

The music always comes first no matter what. I find it hard to write lyrics if there is no chosen melody I have my mind set on. The flow and lyrics come quickly with a beat playing in the background. It’s therapeutic, in a way, but stressful sometimes, when I kind of find a beat that pulls me in.

Is there any upcoming release or tour headed your way? Maybe an EP, or a mix-tape?

Well, I didn’t want to say too much, but yeah, there is. Due to my sobriety and big changes I’ve been making in life, I have a 6-track mixtape that will be called “Sober Tapes Vol. 1”. Hell, I might even throw in a 7th track, depending on how all goes. You feel me ?

SLMP53-1 interacts with wild-type and mutant p53 DNA-binding domain and reactivates multiple hotspot mutations

Dourado, Ana Luísa Carvalho, Maria João Romão, Benedita Pinheiro, Filipa Marcelo, Alexandra Carvalho, Maria M. M. Santos, Lucília Saraiva

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

7 Citations (Scopus)

Background: Half of human cancers harbour TP53 mutations that render p53 inactive as a tumor suppressor. As such, reactivation of mutant (mut)p53 through restoration of wild-type (wt)-like function represents one of the most promising therapeutic strategies in cancer treatment. Recently, we have reported the (S)-tryptophanol-derived oxazoloisoindolinone SLMP53-1 as a new reactivator of wt and mutp53 R280K with in vitro and in vivo p53-dependent antitumor activity. The present work aimed a mechanistic elucidation of mutp53 reactivation by SLMP53-1. Methods and results: By cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), it is shown that SLMP53-1 induces wt and mutp53 R280K thermal stabilization, which is indicative of intermolecular interactions with these proteins. Accordingly, in silico studies of wt and mutp53 R280K DNA-binding domain with SLMP53-1 unveiled that the compound binds at the interface of the p53 homodimer with the DNA minor groove. Additionally, using yeast and p53-null tumor cells ectopically expressing distinct highly prevalent mutp53, the ability of SLMP53-1 to reactivate multiple mutp53 is evidenced. Conclusions: SLMP53-1 is a p53-activating agent with the ability to directly target wt and a set of hotspot mutp53. General Significance: This work reinforces the encouraging application of SLMP53-1 in the personalized treatment of cancer patients harboring distinct p53 status.

Learning in lockdown: issues facing trainee interpreters and translators during the pandemic

By NUBSLI | Published on 27 January 2021

Last updated on May 24th, 2021 at 8:06 pm

Related: Covid-19

The Story So Far…

The Trainee Action Group was formed during the summer of 2020 as one of a number of NUBSLI member-led groups focussing on specific areas of our profession.

We held an an online consultation with trainees across the UK to gain insight into the challenges they are facing and to plan some actions in response.

As a result of the information gathered, much of which referred to the challenges of remote work, we began facilitating access to remote shadowing opportunities with the help of some of our more experienced colleagues who have generously offered their time and support.

If you would like more information about this, please contact trainee-ag@nubsli.com.

Our Open Letter

Many of the trainees that attended our consultation event were extremely concerned about their capacity to complete their interpreting and translation qualifications.

They reported a range of challenges, but perhaps the most urgent concern was the insufficient action by training providers to adapt assessment criteria and methods of gathering evidence for portfolios that would allow trainees to progress in their studies throughout the various lockdowns and tiers of restrictions.

Trainees are the future of the profession, sadly we cannot afford to hang on until things are “back to normal”. Nobody could have predicted the events of the last year, but the catastrophic mismanagement of the pandemic has left us with no choice but to adapt the conditions in which we find ourselves.

Either the ways in which we are taught and assessed need to change to reflect our current circumstances or many will be forced to seek an alternative career; some already have.

We are sympathetic to the enormous challenges that educational institutions and training providers are facing. The intention of the open letter which can be downloaded below is merely to initiate a collaborative dialogue through which we can support trainees to become competent, qualified practitioners.

The open letter has been sent to the institutions and training providers named at the consultation event, however, a generic version can be downloaded below and can be used as needed.

In solidarity

NUBSLI Trainee Action Group

You can also download this letter for your use here.

The National Union for British Sign Language Interpreters and Translators (NUBSLI) represents sign language interpreters and translators working across the UK. This includes trainees currently enrolled on programmes such as yours.

Since March 2020, trainee members have contacted us to express their concerns about the impact that the imposed restrictions and lockdown measures have had, including how their studies, training and work have been affected. In order to gain better insight into this, a consultation event was held and the challenges they reported are summarised below.

Impact of the pandemic on trainee interpreters and translators

  • Imposition of first lockdown restrictions in March 2020 resulted in a significant drop in work available (whether employed or self employed). For some, work stopped completely.
  • Those able to work are doing so remotely, a task recognised as extremely demanding for even our most experienced colleagues.
  • All have found the change in working environment extremely challenging and even more isolating.
  • Severe risk of becoming deskilled due to lack of work or opportunities to practice. This in turn poses a significant hindrance to the development of the skills required to complete training programmes.
  • The change in working conditions has had a significant impact on their training and many are experiencing difficulty collecting portfolio evidence, particularly when the criteria state that video clips must capture in-person interactions.
  • They cannot access the same level of support, shadow colleagues, attend interpreted events, or access many of the other informal development opportunities that they could pre-pandemic.
  • Feeling the need for additional input from training providers that reflects the unprecedented circumstances they are navigating.

As you are aware, the financial cost of studying and/or training with the aim of achieving registered status is significant. For many this is self-funded and requires that they are able to work at the same time as they train.

Unfortunately, we have already heard from trainee members who have taken work in other industries in order to maintain a source of income at this time. This situation is echoed by some of our RSLI/T colleagues and there is a very real risk that they will not return to the profession in future.

The consequences of this must not be underestimated and it is vital that the situation be mitigated against now, not only to safeguard the profession but to ensure the deaf communities we work with continue to have access to the interpreting and translation services they deserve.

How can you help?

We are aware that many institutions have allowed for deferrals, however this is not the favoured option for all trainees. With this in mind, those present at our consultation event compiled a list of key measures that, if enacted, would reassure students and provide more desirable outcomes for current and future cohorts alike. These are:

  • Flexibility regarding the types of evidence to be accepted during the pandemic. Clarification on what this would be to be provided by Signature, iBSL and relevant universities.
  • Training centres and institutions to offer safe opportunities for evidence collection during the pandemic.
  • Instruction on remote working practice to be included in SLI/T training programmes.

What else are NUBSLI doing?

Our Trainee Action Group is facilitating opportunities for trainees to shadow experienced, qualified colleagues while they carry out remote work and we also offer informal one-to-one buddying support for trainees and newly qualified SLI/Ts who are members.

Some trainees may not be aware of the support NUBSLI can offer them and we hope this letter can also be the first step in establishing a dialogue with training providers that could enable better long term support for trainees going forward.

We would be grateful if you would acknowledge receipt of this letter and respond in good time, detailing the allowances and adaptations that are being made in order to support current and future cohorts of BSL/English interpreting and translation students.

Kind regards

The NUBSLI Committee

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 10, 2018 – NuMedii, Inc., today announced the formation of a strategic research collaboration with Yale School of Medicine and Brigham and Women’s Hospital with the goal of utilizing single-cell sequencing to identify novel precision therapies and biomarkers in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). An orphan disease, IPF is a chronic, progressive and usually fatal interstitial lung disease for which the origin is unknown and current approved therapies have limited effects on survival or quality of life.

Under the collaboration, NuMedii will work with two of the world’s leading experts in interstitial lung disease – Naftali Kaminski, MD, Boehringer-Ingelheim Endowed Professor of Internal Medicine, and Chief of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, and Ivan O. Rosas, MD, Associate Physician, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Associate Professor, Harvard Medical School – and their respective laboratories to identify novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers in IPF. The collaboration brings together a rich single-cell RNA sequencing data repository from patients with IPF together with NuMedii’s Artificial Intelligence for Drug Discovery (AIDD) technology to discover new therapeutics and biomarkers for IPF.

“The combination of NuMedii’s AIDD technology with this rich data repository will provide unparalleled discovery capabilities to uncover novel mechanisms, cell types, targets and biomarkers that we believe will be instrumental in identifying and developing precision therapies for orphan diseases like IPF,” said Gini Deshpande, Ph.D., chief executive officer, NuMedii, Inc. “We are excited to partner with two of the world’s leading experts and their research teams at these world-class institutions to help further advance our work in this fatal lung disease for which there exists a significant unmet medical need.”

NuMedii’s AIDD technology employs deep learnings of human biology consisting of hundreds of millions of structured molecular, pharmacological and clinical data points that the company has curated and harmonized. The company couples these data with proprietary machine learning and network-based algorithms to discover and advance precise, effective new drug candidates, as well as biomarkers predictive of efficacy for subsets of patients, in a broad spectrum of therapeutic areas including orphan diseases like IPF.

“Our teams have been at the forefront of analyzing human IPF samples using high throughput technologies for many years,” said Dr. Kaminski, who also co-Directs P2MED, Yale’s Center for Pulmonary Precision Medicine. “The data we will derive by molecularly profiling thousands of single cells in every patient’s sample will allow us to understand disease at an unprecedented resolution and should allow us to identify new cell types and biological mechanisms involved in IPF.”

Added Dr. Rosas, “We are excited about the opportunity to leverage our combined scientific research along with data analytics and drug discovery capabilities to facilitate the translation of our research into new precision therapies that will help patients with IPF and the physicians who treat them.”

About NuMedii, Inc.
NuMedii, Inc., has been pioneering the use of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and systems biology since 2010 to accelerate the discovery of precision therapies to address high unmet medical needs. As a next generation biopharma company, NuMedii has built a powerful technology, AIDD (Artificial Intelligence for Drug Discovery), originally developed at Stanford University, that harnesses Big Data and AI to rapidly discover connections between drugs and diseases at a systems level. NuMedii has active R&D collaborations with several global pharmaceutical and biotech companies and patient-centric organizations to create pipeline and new products in multiple therapeutic areas including inflammation, oncology and rare diseases.

About Michelle

Update, August 2021: Michelle stopped teaching Zumba in 2015, and let her membership to the Zumba Instructors’ Network (ZIN) expire because teaching Zumba had become an “expensive hobby.”  Her beloved dogs Zeke, Hannah Bean and Lucho all crossed Rainbow Bridge, leaving Charlie, the Belgian Malinois, as leader of the pack.  Last year, Olive Hope, a bluenose pitbull mix was welcomed to the family, and has kept everyone on their toes.

We’ve lived through the first part of the COVID-19 global pandemic, and are hoping the delta variant stays away from our loved ones.  However, Florida is the new hotspot of infection, featuring the deadly combinations of unvaccinated and unmasked Floriduh Men/Women, lead by the worst governor in the state’s modern history.  Please get vaccinated, urge your loved one to get vaccinated, wear masks whenever you visit public places, and wash your hands throughout the day.

On March 11, 2014, “Chronicles of a 40-Something Nurse Wannabe” evolved into “Reading, Drinking and Dancing with a Chaser of Snark,” to better reflect Michelle’s blogging persona and themes of the blog.   All previous posts were saved and may be read by searching by topic.

“I don’t want to age gracefully.  I plan to fight it, every step of the way.   It will be a dirty fight, but I refuse to pull hair unless it’s grey.”  ~Michelle

Lucho, Zeke, Hannah Bean and Charlotte (aka. Checkpoint Charlie)
Lucho, Zeke, Hannah Bean and Charlotte (aka. Checkpoint Charlie)

Michelle was born and raised in the Republic of Panamá, graduated from Balboa High School and the University of South Florida.  Her diverse professional background includes government and nonprofit management; urban planning and economic development; editing and technical writing; virtual and personal assisting,  with an emphasis on social media marketing; and youth education and development, with an emphasis on outdoor education and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for girls and young women.   Fluent in English and Spanish, Michelle enjoys helping others communicate and translated professional training materials from English to Spanish to reach underrepresented communities.

She has been a Zumba instructor, since 2008, volunteered as an adviser for an NPC women’s fraternal organization (sorority), for over 10 years, and is passionate about baseball.   She lives with her amazing, multi-talented, former US Army Sergeant and Gulf War-Era Veteran, Hubby and four K9 kids in the land of sunshine and beaches.

This blog began as a record of her trials and tribulations as she returned to undergraduate studies, attended Nursing school, passed the boards, and began a career in healthcare.  However, Nursing school was put on hold indefinitely, as of November 10, 2013.  Michelle has not decided whether or not she will return to the program.

An unapologetic progressive, capitalist Latina, Michelle was raised Roman Catholic, but embraced spiritual paths committed to equity, opportunity, social justice and equality for all.

Craig Hopson and Frank Roberts Both Ditch Beautique

New, 2 comments
Beautique by Krieger

Chef Craig Hopson has left his position as executive chef of Beautique, the swanky restaurant he opened just five months ago with Frank Roberts of the Rose Bar. The Post reports that the former Le Cirque chef departed a few weeks ago, and hears that Roberts followed him more recently, apparently because of "creative differences" with the other partners. Beautique is first and foremost a magnet for the rich and famous, but Hopson's food was mostly well-received. No word yet on where either he or Roberts will head next.

The Grey Lady

Callum Mclaughlin and Ryan Chadwick are expanding to the Hamptons. The duo behind Grey Lady — a New England style spot with locations on Delancey Street and in Aspen and Nantucket — will unveil an outpost in Montauk next month. The new restaurant, which has an outdoor patio on a back deck, takes over the space formerly occupied by Harbor, at 440 West Lake Drive. Apart from standard raw bar, lobster rolls, and clam chowder, Grey Lady will serve fresh local seafood dishes like grilled flounder and bacon-wrapped day boat scallops. "We will be open by Memorial Day,'' promises Mclaughlin. "I spent time in Montauk growing up and I want to get back to my roots.''

And it’s working. Corporate giant Halliburton is moving its headquarters there; the famed Louvre is opening a branch in the emirate. Tourists are flocking to Dubai’s luxury hotels.

But don’t be fooled. Dubai, which is one of the seven princedoms of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is anything but tolerant and progressive.

To put it bluntly: They don’t like Jews.

In fact, Dubai, like the rest of the UAE, is blatantly anti-Semitic. It bars all Israeli citizens from ever setting foot in the country. People from other nations whose passport have stamps indicating they’ve even visited Israel must notify Dubai immigration authorities of the stamp before entering.

Dubai is also actively involved in the Arab boycott of Israel: It bans all products made in Israel and even ones with parts made in Israel.

But the emir of Dubai, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, understands the value of using prominent Americans to legitimize his country and burnish its image in the American media.

That’s why former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton have been the objects of Dubai largesse. Their Dubai friends have given millions to each of their presidential libraries. And Bill Clinton has raked in more than $1 million for speeches he’s given in Dubai and the UAE.

Dubai’s PR machine went into high gear after 9/11 – in part to distract attention from the extensive use the terrorists made of the emirate. More than half of the hijackers traveled to the United States via Dubai. The 9/11 Commission noted that $234,500 of the $300,000 wired to the hijackers and plot leaders in America came via Dubai banks.

Several months after 9/11, Dubai’s newest best friend began his public association with the country. In January 2002, Bill Clinton gave his first Dubai speech (for $300,000). He’ been legitimizing the country ever since.

Clinton was the rainmaker who introduced the emir to his friend and employer, Ron Berkle, the owner of Yucaipa companies and a major fund-raiser for Bill and Hillary.

Last year, Yucaipa and the emir formed a new company, DIGL, for their joint ventures. So Bill Clinton is now an adviser and member of the board of directors of a company that is in partnership with the anti-Israeli government of Dubai.

The Clintons won’t reveal how much the former president pocketed for setting up this deal, except to report on Hillary’s Senate disclosure form: “more than $1,000.”

A lot more. According to San Francisco Examiner columnist P.J. Corkery, Clinton makes $10 million a year from Yucaipa.

Bill isn’t alone in legitimizing Dubai. Other Clinton pals – including disgraced former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, ex-Secretary of State Madeline Albright and Al and Tipper Gore – have attended highly publicized events there.

So have some Republicans – including former Bush Sr. Chief of Staff John Sununu, presidential brother Neal Bush and Rudy Guiliani.

Republican ex-Sen. Bob Dole and Democratic ex-Rep. Tom Downey lobby for Dubai; so does The Glover Park Group, home of Hillary Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson and former President Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart.

Major U.S. business leaders populate the many conferences sponsored by Dubai and its industries.

All of this helps legitimize Dubai. And no one mentions the problem with Israel.

Bill Clinton even created a Dubai Scholars Program at the American University in Dubai under the sponsorship of the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation. Laura Tyson, Clinton’s chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, created a similar Dubai study program at the University of London.

But not everyone is blind.

Last month, the University of Connecticut correctly abandoned plans to open up a campus in Dubai after serious complaints about Dubai’s state-imposed discrimination of people based on their national origin and religion and its documented violations of human rights. (For example, Human Rights Watch has said Dubai abuses tens of thousands of migrant workers from India and Pakistan.)

The Clinton Foundation certainly wouldn’t sponsor a program in America that banned Israeli students. It shouldn’t sponsor one in Dubai, either.

It’s time to stop legitimizing an anti-Semitic state.

The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release

Press Gaggle by Principal Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest Aboard Air Force One en route Detroit, Michigan

En Route Detroit, Michigan

11:41 A.M. EDT

MR. EARNEST:  Hello, everybody.  How’s everybody doing?  Happy Labor Day.  We’re obviously headed to Detroit this morning, where the President will speak to the Detroit Metro Labor Council at an event that is a Labor Day tradition in the great city of Detroit.  The UAW and the AFL-CIO and the Metro Labor Council help host this event.

The President, as many of you -- some of you may remember, spoke at this event in 2008, when he was a candidate for president.  I did not have the pleasure of attending that particular year’s event, but I’ve heard that it’s a pretty impressive display.  So, looking forward to going there here in a few minutes.

On the plane with the President today is Senator Levin and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis.  Also joining us is AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, SEIU President Mary Kay Henry, and UAW President Bob King.

Q    Will they be speaking?

MR. EARNEST:  I don’t know the exact lineup.  I know -- I don’t know the exact lineup for who will be speaking today.

Q    Josh, labor has been pretty critical of the President. Is he expecting a warm welcome today?  Is he expecting them to get on board with the reelect?

MR. EARNEST:  I do anticipate that the President will receive a warm welcome today, primarily because working men and women across the country know that they have a President who wakes up every morning in the White House thinking about policies that this government can put in place to strengthen our economy and create jobs.  They also know that they have a President who’s not going to be satisfied until every working man and woman who’s out there looking for a job -- who doesn’t have a job, who wants a job, who's out there looking for a job, could get one.  That is the central focus of this President’s domestic agenda, and that is why I do anticipate that we’ll get a warm welcome.

In terms of the campaign, I’d refer you to my colleagues in Chicago to answer that question.

Q    To what extent is he going to preview the Thursday speech today?

MR. EARNEST:  Well, I think the President will once again use this opportunity to challenge Democrats and Republicans to come together behind the set of principles that -- the set of policies that he will lay out on Thursday to create jobs, strengthen the economy, to support the private sector as they lead the way to a stronger economy.  But in terms of specifics, I don’t expect him to preview any specific policy proposals in today’s speech.

Q    Any new initiatives that he’ll mention today?

MR. EARNEST:  Not today.  I don’t expect anything like that today.

Q    Any new rhetoric?  Any new phrases?  Any new twists on anything that he’s said previously about jobs and the economy?

MR. EARNEST:  Well, I do anticipate that you’ll hear the President talk about his view, a strongly held view, that the United States economy -- or I should say it this way -- that the United States of America won’t have a strong and growing economy until we have a strong and growing middle class.  That is a central tenet of -- I guess I should say that that’s forefront in his mind as he’s thinking about what kinds of policies can be put in place that Congress should pass that can further support our economic recovery.  So you’ll hear him talk about that a little bit today as well.

Q    I haven't heard him speak yet about Friday’s employment numbers.  Will he specifically talk about that report today?

MR. EARNEST:  I don't anticipate that he'll have anything specific to say about that today.

Q    Josh, the AFL-CIO president has called for the President to be "bold" in Thursday's speech.  Would you use that word, "bold," to describe what he will propose on Thursday?  And will he come close to the $400 billion a year in infrastructure spending that Trumka has called for?

MR. EARNEST:  Well, I do anticipate that -- well, I should start by saying I'll let you describe the speech after you've heard it so you can rate that for yourself.  I do anticipate that -- the President believes that it is time for the government to take serious action and that there's no reason that Democrats and Republicans in Congress can't get behind the set of proposals that he'll lay out to strengthen our economy and create jobs and support the private sector in that -- as they lead the way in that endeavor.  In terms of the specific proposals that he'll outline, I'll let him do that on Thursday.

Q    Nobody asked Jay this yesterday and we really haven't seen anybody since Friday when the jobs numbers came out -- are we in a recession?

MR. EARNEST:  Well, my guess is that's an economic analysis for economists to point out.  Clearly, though, while economists say that the economy is growing, it's the President's view that the economy is not growing quickly enough.  And that's why Congress needs to take immediate action on the proposals that he'll lay out on Thursday -- because there is more that we can do to support the private sector and strengthen the economy and stimulating job growth.  So, clearly, there's more that we can do to strengthen our economy, and that's what the President is focused on.

Q    Will the trip the following day to Richmond be the start of any sort of sustained campaign to sell his vision?

MR. EARNEST:  Well, I do anticipate that over the course of the fall the President will spend a decent amount of time traveling across the country, talking to men and women in communities across the country about what he believes that we need to do to get our economy going; that he believes that we need to put in place policies that have bipartisan support -- or that should earn bipartisan support -- to support the private sector's effort as they create jobs and strengthen the economy.  So I do anticipate that the President will spend a little bit of time this fall traveling across the country to make that case.

Q    While we're in Detroit is he going to talk about autos?

MR. EARNEST:  He will.  As you know, when the President first took office he was faced with a very difficult policy challenge of trying to support -- lend some support to an American auto industry that was in dire straits.  But thanks to the courageous decision that this President made to support the auto industry, thanks to the men and women in that industry who have been tenacious, we are seeing -- we have seen in just the last couple of years a dramatic turnaround in that industry; that we are now in a place where we are seeing GM and Chrysler, in particular, are the two companies that got support from -- significant support from the government make a dramatic turnaround in terms of the market share that's increasing, in terms of the number of jobs that they've created, and in terms of the advances that are made in putting out the kinds of automobiles and other vehicles that the American public and people around the world are interested in buying.

So I do anticipate that you'll hear the President talk about that today, because it's a testament, frankly, to the tenacity of the working people in the Detroit area that we are seeing a turnaround in that industry.

Q    Again, why did he decide to split the jobs portion of the proposals off from the deficit portion?  How quickly will the deficit side come together?  And when he does his fall trips, his series of fall trips, will jobs and deficits all be part of one discussion?

MR. EARNEST:  Well, again, I'll let you listen to the speech to hear sort of -- to draw your own conclusions about the President's views on those two topics.  I can say broadly what the President will be delivering on Thursday is a jobs speech, but the President thinks that part of dealing with strengthening our economy is also addressing the midterm and long-term deficit challenges facing this country; that the President believes there's more that we can do.  He has some ideas for the things that the super committee can do to go beyond that $1.5 trillion deficit reduction mandate.

He'll talk about that a little bit in the speech, but the speech will be primarily focused on jobs.  That is the policy challenge that the President is confronting with the most urgency.  But the President certainly believes that there's more that we can do and he has ideas for what more we can do to address our midterm and long-term challenges as well.

Q    On the deficit side, how soon after to expect that?

MR. EARNEST:  He'll talk about it in the speech on Thursday.

Q    Is addressing the housing market part of addressing the jobs situation, given that it's one of the Achilles' heels of the economy right now?

MR. EARNEST:  There's no question that there are far too many working families who are concerned about the challenge of affording their mortgage payment every month.  So that isn't just a statistic that is of deep concern to this President, it's also something that is of deep concern on a very human level, that owning your own home is a central part of the American Dream, and that is for far too many working families a much more difficult challenge than it previously has -- than it should be, and there are far too many working families that have a rather tenuous hold on that goal.

So this is obviously a very difficult policy problem and it's one that the President and his advisors are working on and certainly remains an important part of dealing with the broader economic challenges that are facing the country.

Q    Does that mean it will be in the speech?

MR. EARNEST:  Well, I don't want to preview exactly what the President is going to get into in the speech, but I can tell you that whether it's in the speech or not, that it's something that is a high priority for this administration.

Q    Josh, can you talk about the mood in the White House these days?  I mean, the numbers in the Mid-Session Review revisions, the unemployment numbers Friday, the President's unemployment -- I mean, excuse me -- approval numbers -- I mean, is there a feeling at the White House like things need to turn around quickly?

MR. EARNEST:  Well, there is a desire at the White House for things to -- for the economy to strengthen.  And there's no doubt that that's one of the reasons that people have been working so hard this summer.  I mean, you've heard me talk about, when we were in Martha’s Vineyard, that there is an economic team at work at the White House working on formulating some of these policies that the President will lay out on Thursday.

So it is an urgent focus of this White House to put in place policies that will strengthen the economy.  But I think that there is -- that the President -- and you’ll hear this from him today -- that the President is optimistic about our country’s ability to bounce back from these difficult challenges; that certainly a place like Detroit is a pretty good example.  This is a place that built probably as strong of a middle-class economy, or middle-class sector, as ever existed in the history of the world.  They’ve faced some very difficult challenges, but they’re on their way back.

And I think that’s an appropriate metaphor for the rest of the country; that we face some very difficult challenges, but if we band together, if we put our party’s interests -- or put our country’s interests ahead of partisan interests, that this is a challenge that we can face, that this is a challenge that we’ll confront, and this is a challenge that we’ll bounce back from.  And I think you’ll hear that kind of optimism from the President today.

Q    New subject?  Does the administration have any comment to the comments from the ISI in Pakistan that the arrest of three al Qaeda operatives, including Younis al-Mauritani, were done thanks to cooperation -- unusual cooperation with the U.S.?

MR. EARNEST:  I have seen those reports this morning.  I’m not in a position right now to confirm those reports.  I can tell you that the United States continues to work with our partner, Pakistan, to achieve our central goal of dismantling, disrupting, and defeating al Qaeda; that certainly the al Qaeda elements that are in place in Pakistan are a threat to both the Pakistani people and to the American people and our allies, and that’s an effort that we will continue to cooperate on with them moving forward.

Q    If you confirm later, would you let us know?

MR. EARNEST:  If I'm able to get more on that today I will connect with all of you on that.

Q    Is there a Syria update while we’re all here?

MR. EARNEST:  No additional specific updates.  We’re obviously seeing some of the continued reports about a crackdown that is apparently underway in Syria, and that is something that we continue to condemn in the strongest possible terms.

Q    On Qaddafi, any update on discussions with world leaders or on his whereabouts, on --

MR. EARNEST:  I don’t actually have any Libya updates this morning.

Q    Will he meet with Aretha Franklin at the event?

MR. EARNEST:  I’m sorry?

Q    Will he meet with Aretha Franklin at the event?

MR. EARNEST:  If he does I’ll let you know.

Q    In 2008, he sang a little Aretha.

MR. EARNEST:  Oh, at this event -- in 2008?

Q    Yes, Don keeps a little audio on his notebook.  (Laughter.)

MR. EARNET:  Maybe we’ll get a little reprisal today.

Q    That would be nice, yes.

MR. EARNEST:  The President is in a pretty good mood.  We’ll see.

Q    Are the three labor leaders with him on the plane, did you say?

MR. EARNEST:  Yes, they’re here on the plane with us today.

Q    Trumka, King and -- oh, Mary Kay Henry.

Q    Mary Kay Henry is SEIU?

Q    UAW and SEIU -- okay.  Thank you.

MR. EARNEST:  All right?

Q    Thank you.

Q    Thanks, Josh.

MR. EARNEST:  See you guys.

Cameroon-China Relations: The Future is Bright

Fruitful and beneficial cooperation ties between Cameroon and the People’s Republic of China will in the coming years witness a boom following the visit to Cameroon of Yang Jiechi, the Special Representative of the President of China, Xi Jinping from January 18- 19, 2019.

The Chinese senior official who is also the Member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Director of the Office of Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China summarized his official visit to Cameroon in a farewell declaration at the Yaounde-Nsimalen International Airport. In the presence of the Prime Minister, Head of Government, Joseph Dion Ngute.

Talking to the press Jang Jiechi said, Cameroon and China have decided to intensify cooperation in the economic, political, technological, education and security maintenance domains. He added that the two countries have also decided to enhance cooperation to consolidate a popular base between them. Yang Jiechi disclosed that China was ready to strengthen cooperation in other domains that include infrastructure, energy, construction of stadia, schools and health structures for the benefit of Cameroonian people.

He also declared that President Biya commissioned him to transmit his friendship and best wishes to the Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Chinese senior official said the two visits President Paul Biya paid to China in 2018 (official visit in March and participation in the Africa-China summit in September) all attest to the high esteem President Biya and the Cameroonian people have for China. Just like during his arrival, Prime Minister Dion Ngute accompanied Yang Jiechi to the foot of the plane that finally took off at 9:50 a.m.

Togo: Preliminary Dialogue Begins

The talks are meant to end months of anti-government street protests.

After seven months of tension and street demonstrations by the Togolese opposition over presidential tenure limits to two terms as provided in the 1992 Consitution, there is now some glimmer of hope of an end to the crisis. Both the government and an opposition coalition on February 15, 2018 began preliminary discussions to prepare a national dialogue on the crisis that has seen opposition parties organise street protests every 15 days since last August.

Radio France Internationale, RFI, reported that the talks were facilitated by Guinea Conakry Minister of State, Tibou Kamara and Ghanaian Minister for Security, Albert Kan-Dapaah. The discussions, which ought to have begun last November, have faced several hitches. The preliminary talks between representatives of government, opposition political parties and the ruling party, were also meant to agree on a number of issues.

Amongst them are steps to assuage the anger of the opposition such as freeing an estimated 90 people detained in recent months over anti-government protests. The opposition is also demanding freedom for seven people detained in connection with fires that destroyed Lomé and Kara markets in 2013. It is only after both parties reach agreement on the sticking points that real diaglogue can begin, reports said.

In a recent interview, the retired Archbishop of Lomé, His Lordship Phillipe Fanoko Kpodzro – who chaired the Sovereign National Conference in August 1991 – argued that President Faure Gnassingbé be allowed to complete his current tenure in 2020 in «dignity,» while presidential tenure should be two terms.

The current crisis started in August 2017 when protesters took to the streets demanding constitutional reforms, including term limits for the President. But as time went on, the opposition later shifted from demands for return to the 1992 constitution to calls for Faure Gnassingbé to leave office.

Belmont County Farm Bureau assists area food banks

A Belmont County farmer recently donated more than 300 pounds of ground beef to the Belmont County Farm Bureau for distribution to five area food banks.

More than 900 Belmont County farmers, landowners, and others interested in agriculture and a safe food supply belong to Belmont County Farm Bureau which represents the legislative needs and community interests of its members.  Each year the organization works with legislators to ensure that our nation’s farmers and land owners are protected from unnecessary and costly regulations that will hamper farmers from doing what they do best: providing a safe and affordable food supply.

According to Belmont County Farm Bureau President Jerry Ebbert, Farm Bureau is a “legislative watchdog” that champions landowner rights such as eminent domain, CAUV, personal property tax exemptions and many other issues. Farm Bureau encourages members to be involved in the community and help their neighbors. The anonymous farmer who donated beef to local food banks is a perfect example. Thanks to this individual, several Belmont County food banks benefitted, including Belmont County Salvation Army, Bridgeport Food Pantry, Five Loaves Food Ministry, Project Manna and St. Clairsville Food Pantry.

“It is in the best economic interest of anyone who farms or owns land, to be a Belmont County Farm Bureau member,” Ebbert said. Persons interested in joining Farm Bureau or learning more about the organization may call 740-425-3681.

(Mrs. Abraham) Elizabeth (Schmeltzer) Motter 1828-1916

Death has been a visitor in our community quite frequently during the past winter, stopping on the 25th of February at 2:30 P.M. calling Mrs. Abram Motter to rest.

The deceased is one of the very early settlers of our county, coming to Maryland Township in the year 1853 from Dauphin Co., PA, where she lived with her husband until 21 years ago when he died. Since that time, for many years, she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Caroline Drumheller at Lightsville, until Mrs. Drumheller's death. From that time on she has made her home with her two daughters, Mrs. Frank Kuntzelman and Mrs. Emma Light of Egan.

Mrs. Motter, the past year had been living with Mrs. Light and about three weeks ago she began to fail and gradually grew weaker as time went on, going peacefully to her rest.

Mrs. Motter has seen the life of the early settlers of Leaf River Township, living in this immediate community 63 years.

The funeral was held on Monday, February 23rd at the North Grove Christian Church with Rev. Eakle of Polo, former presiding elder for the Evangelical Church of North Grove, and Rev. W. C. South of the United Brethren Church of Leaf River, the ministers officiating. The pall bearers of the good old lady were six of her grandsons, William and Clinton Motter, Albert and Alton Kuntzelman, Irvin Light, and Jesse Heiter. Her remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband in the North Grove Christian Cemetery.

Submitted by her 2nd great grandson, Roger Cramer
