    The help files were completely changed in Vista. The older file format is no
    longer supported, but they have provided a workaround. Read the article in
    first link here and then click the second link to download the file that
    will enable you to read the older.chm formatted files.

    The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Windows
    operating systems starting with Windows Vista:

    Hello Fritz,

    The CHM format is supported in Vista and should work unless your file
    association is broken. Did you download the actual manuals from Nero?
    The .chm files in the main Nero 7 Essentials download (7.8.5) are
    empty except for an error message. They did this to reduce the size
    of the download. However, the link to the full manual in the CHM file
    is broken.

    The "real" manuals have to be tracked down and downloaded individually
    from various pages on the Nero site. Then you have to copy the
    downloads over the existing .chm files, one by one. It's a real pain,
    made worse by the fact that their instructions are incorrect!

    Thank you for your time in giving me your advice. I've read the microsoft
    information page and decided that Vista security is more important than the
    CHM files.Regards Fritz

    Compiled HTML Help Files (.chm's) are a mainstay of many programs on your
    Computer, and Vista has a few as well. Go to Control Panel > Default
    Programs and click on "Associate a file type with a program". In the the
    Set Associations window, find .chm and double-click on it. In the Open With
    dialog click on browse. Go to C:\Windows and choose the file hh.exe
    (MicrosoftÂ® HTML Help Executable). Hh.exe has a yellow question mark icon,
    and will give that icon to all .chm files as well, once the association is

    You are welcome, but the files are correct and work fine after
    downloading and copying over the old versions. It's just the
    instructions for installing them that are incorrect. The instructions
    tell you to put all the CHM files in the Nero folder. In fact, each
    CHM file must be copied to the folder for the feature that it covers.

    Also, the Nero site has PDF versions of most of their help files.

    I've managed to solve the cmh file being recognized by Vista Business. The
    real culprit had been the Acrobat Reader. When I installed Nero v7.... all
    the chm helpfiles worked on its interface. As soon as I installed the Acrobat
    reader all chm or help files in Nero where not supported anymore. I did a
    reformat installed Nero and and downloaded the helpfiles I wanted from Nero &
    installed them one by one into its proper folder. Then instead of installing
    the Acrobat Reader I choose Foxit Reader which does the same job as Acrobat
    but didn't change my chm helpfiles in Nero. Foxit Reader is free of charge.
    I hope that I was able to help somebody with my workaround at this problem
    Good Look Fritz

Work to make walking and cycling safer between Dalston and Clapton set to begin this spring

Improvements include a new Cycleway, upgraded junctions and new pedestrian and cycle crossings.

fL and Hackney Council have announced that work will begin later this spring to make it safer and easier for people to walk and cycle in neighbourhoods linking Lea Bridge and Dalston.

TfL worked closely with Hackney Council on the plans and last summer asked people to have their say on the changes, which include:

  • A new high-quality Cycleway, including a segregated cycle track on Crossway between Boleyn Road and John Campbell Street, connecting to CS1
  • New crossings for people walking and cycling, including on Crossway connecting to John Campbell Road and on Kingsland High Street (A10) at Sandringham Road
  • Changes to motor vehicle access on local roads, including restricting access to Sandringham Road from Kingsland High Street except for people walking and cycling
  • Changes to parking and improved traffic calming measures along the route
  • Upgraded public spaces with more trees and plants

The consultation showed that 82% of respondents felt that the proposals would mean that more people would cycle, whilst 67% thought more people would walk. Around half of people also thought that the proposals would mean fewer people using private cars for personal journeys.

As a result of feedback from the public, TfL and Hackney Council have made improvements to the scheme, including wider pedestrian crossing points, new speed humps and additional new trees and planting.

Construction work on the changes is set to begin later this spring.

TfL and Hackney Council have also consulted on proposals which would extend the Cycleway from Clapton to Lea Bridge, making it safer and easier to walk and cycle in the area.

Plans between Clapton and Lea Bridge include a complete overhaul of Lea Bridge Roundabout and new segregated cycle tracks on Kenninghall Road and Lea Bridge Road. TfL is considering the feedback received and will outline next steps later in the spring.

These proposals would link to the expanded Cycleway network in Waltham Forest, where over 7km of segregated cycle track has already been delivered as part of the TfL funded Mini-Holland programme.

Will Norman, London's Walking and Cycling Commissioner, said:

“I'm delighted that construction of this new high-quality Cycleway — along with a variety of other improvements for walking and cycling — will start in the spring.

“By creating a new link between Dalston and Clapton, we will enable people to make everyday journeys by bike or on foot, which is key to reducing car use and improving our toxic air.”

Nigel Hardy, TfL's Head of Healthy Streets Investment and Delivery, said:

“Enabling more people across east London to leave their car at home and get around by walking, cycling or using public transport is a vital part of making the capital a safer, more pleasant place for everybody.

“I'd like to thank people for their support and invaluable feedback and am looking forward to construction work starting in the coming months.”

Enabling more people to walk, cycle and use public transport is a key part of the Mayor of London's plans to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing London, including toxic air, inactivity and the climate emergency.

Construction work has recently started on several major new Cycleways, including routes between Tower Bridge and Greenwich, and between Brentford and Olympia.

TfL's investment in London's streets is reducing road danger across the capital and TfL is committed to eliminating death and serious injury from London's streets as part of its Vision Zero approach to road danger.

The recall was initiated after discovering that the reins on the rocking horse bridle are long enough for a child to form a loop are their head and neck, which can result in strangulation.

The CPSC reported, “This recall involves Rocking Horse Depot’s small, medium and large rocking horses with bridles. The rocking horse has a hardwood frame and is covered with synthetic hide. Each rocking horse has fluffy mane and tail, and a leather Rocking Horse Depot emblem on the right side of the saddle.”

The recalled toys were sold from November 2006 through December 2009 at RockingHorseDepot.com. The rocking horses sold for between $105 and $185.

Consumers can contact the Rocking Horse Depot to receive instructions on how to remove the reins from the horse to eliminate the strangulation hazard.

What is a Square Meal?

Sans Forgetica is a typeface designed to be somewhat hard to read, which is thought to boost information retention.  more...

May 25 ,  1787 :  The Constitutional Convention convened in Philadelphia.  more...

The term “square meal” is a piece of slang which dates back to 1800s America. It refers to a large, substantial meal which is filling, satisfying, and usually tasty as well. It is also usually implied that a square meal is nutritionally balanced and healthy, though not always. Since balanced meals are generally viewed as vital for human health and happiness, it is not unusual to hear terms like “he looks like he needs a square meal.”

The origins of slang terms can often be fascinating to trace, not least because they are usually clouded by folk etymology and general foolishness. Many folk etymologies for the phrase suggest that it is somehow related to square plates, when this is not, in fact, the case. In this instance, the meal is “square” in the sense of “honest” or “proper,” a usage which dates back to at least the 1600s. This puts square meals in the same family as square deals and “fair and square.”

The first written instance of “square meal” appears to have emerged in the mid-1800s, to advertise a Gold Rush era restaurant in the American West. The author of the advertisement actually clarified the term, specifying that it meant a wholesome and balanced meal, which suggests that the slang term may not have been used colloquially, and that the author may have in fact invented it. Since then, the term has spread to other regions of the United States and some other English speaking nations as well, although it continues to be closely associated with Western culture.

The contents of a square meal are open to debate. Nutritional guidelines and standards have certainly evolved from the days when “pork and beans, onions, cabbage, and other articles,” in the words of a 19th century advertiser, were considered a square meal. It is generally assumed that a square meal has a healthy serving of vegetables, associated with a lean protein and a whole grain starch and ideally flavored with something interesting as well. Most nutritional guidelines also recommend low amounts of fat and heavily processed foods in a balanced diet.

Getting a square meal is of particular concern for developing children and athletes, since their nutritional needs are more demanding than the average population. Fortunately, in most of the developed world, access to food supplies is relatively easy, allowing people to eat well on a regular basis. Unfortunately for some people in the developing world, a square meal is a more challenging proposition.

Unfortunately that is a mistake in that edition. In an earlier print of the story the meal is referred to as a "spare" meal meaning meager or frugal, which makes sense in that context.

Search online for that story in: The Spirit of the English magazines, Volume 9

I've come across an earlier usage than the restaurant advertisement cited above.

In a collection of short stories titled "Great British Tales of Terror: Gothic Stories of Horror and Romance 1765-1840," edited by Peter Haining and published in paperback by Penguin Books, England, in 1973; is a story by William Child Green. The story is "Secrets of Cabalism or Ravenstone and Alice of Huntingdon."

The editor’s introduction to this story states that it was "published anonymously in a Christmas annual, circa 1819."

The sixth paragraph has the following line: "The secretary found him on his knees, as his custom was, eating his square meal in that humble posture..."

This is referring to a prisoner’s meal, which I suspect would be anything but "filling, satisfying, and usually tasty."

Holiday #Readathon Goals

Holiday #Readathon 12/6 - 12/8

I signed up for this readathon a couple of days ago, but haven't gotten around to posting anything for it. It started yesterday and ends tomorrow. I have way too much going on, but I thought I'd be able to squeeze some reading and mini-challenges in. We'll see.

For this readathon I'd like to read two books, both of which are on tours next week. They are:
In Love and War: A Collection of Love Stories Class of '98

I know I'll get at least one read because I have to post a review tomorrow. No pressure, right? ;) I got the book late and am still trying to get it read on time.

Wish me luck!

Review: Camp Woods Plus

An eager crowd packed L'etage Tuesday night for this month's edition of Camp Woods Plus, Philadelphia's only alternative sketch comedy showcase. Joining Camp Woods this month was New York duo We're Matt Weir and local sketch group The Judo Range.

The Judo Range opened the show with a mix of new sketches and material previously seen at their Philly Improv Theater show and The Theme Show. Their set was tight, and the strongest I've seen from them overall - getting solid laughs with sketches about the secrets behind national monuments, a plumber giving a priest advice on how he can "clean his pipes" and the origin of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The highlight of their set was a delightfully bizarre sketch called Chris McGrail's Shaving Corner in which McGrail bestows some wisdom on the fine art of  shearing. The Judo Range is a group beginning to find and develop its voice and figure out who they want to be on stage. Their sketches blend dark humor and some edgy topics with a surreal slant that will be fun to watch grow as the group continues to develop.

The last time I saw We're Matt Weir they were asking Philadelphians to put their mother fucking hands in the sky if they loved weed in front of Mayor Michael Nutter (and a packed house) at Philly Improv Theater. Less than two months later, the duo was back (with a little help from some friends) with a brand new set of hilarious material. The Matts opened the show by slapping a volunteer from the audience with some cash and continued with sketches that explored a man's search to find love despite his obsession with his own status as a worker in a sludge pit, an overly self-loathing stand-up comedian dumping his problems on the audience, a friendly hip hop group, and a nosy cooking show host that ends up looking for secrets of the wrong home cooked meal. We're Matt Weir combines high energy performances and offbeat premises or twists with strong joke writing to put on a consistently great show. Their style also uses many sketches that have the characters directly addressing the audience - making them feel a part of the show the entire time.

Camp Woods closed out the show, as always, with a set that well-represented their wide range of talents and showcased their unique style and comedic point of view. The set opened with a fantastic sketch about a group of heroes known as The Fart Fuckers set to embark on a quest. The sketch revealed the heroes were toys being played with by three brothers, one of which inserts his real life father issues into his characters actions and words. The sketch showcased Camp Woods' ability to pinpoint a dark issue or deep emotional problem a character has that manifests itself in a hilarious way that makes for a brilliant sketch. This is a tool they have used before, and will surely will use again, as it creates a sketch that is not only funny on the surface, but also has a deep, emotional backbone. The set took a turn for the bizarre with a pair of sketches featuring Mr. Abernathy, a man who tricks his neighbor into stealing a dog, and an Admiral with a strange problem that makes his saliva dissolve human hair. The sketches worked well, anchored by strong performances in those roles by Billy Bob Thompson (as Mr. Abernathy) and Brendan Kennedy (as the Admiral) as well as Sam Narisi and Madonna Refugia in the sketches supporting roles. Next we saw JP Boudwin as the Communist Math Teacher - who learns a little something from his students about America followed by Pat Foy as an Austin Powers impersonator who slowly realizes his life may not be as great as it used to seem. The set closed with a mourner (Rob Baniewicz) being consoled by a chain of stand-up spooners who may or may not actually know the deceased. The final sketches were full of great individual jokes as well as characters with a strong hook that comes through in their actions. With Camp Woods, it's always show and not tell - as the characters' true feelings and real personality come through in what they do and how they do it - never in exposition.

Camp Woods is working harder than anybody else in Philly right now, and it shows. They produce a new half hour of material every month and their shows are getting steadily stronger. They are a group that is hitting their stride, have found their voice, and know how each of their members individually fit in and work best. And it a joy to watch.

Gas prices higher in Panama City than most of Florida

By  |

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - According to AAA, Panama City has some of the highest gas prices in Florida while prices in other areas around the state are falling to the lowest levels they've been all year.

Some people said it hasn't been easy getting around Panama City since Hurricane Michael and the high gas prices haven't helped.

"People in real life struggling and gas prices like this, it shouldn't be up. It shouldn't be up this high man, for real," said Bay County resident Oran Samuels.

According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Florida Sunday was $2.43. In Panama City, before the storm hit, the price was $2.82. Prices went up after the storm and peaked on October 21st at $2.92.

AAA said one reason why prices are high is because of the damage to two gas terminals at the port of Panama City during the storm. They also said, among other reasons, some station owners may be trying to avoid losing money on the gas they paid a high price for before the storm. "When I went out of town it was like, way cheaper," said Samuels. "It's surprising it's like this expensive really."

According to AAA, gas prices have dropped in Panama City by a penny per gallon a day since mid-November.

"It'll be great moving forward to have a lower gas price," said Millville resident Lawrence Scott. "That's more money for other things." "I got neighbors that living beside me they living in tents and stuff like that you got to think about," said Samuels.

Along with high gas prices some people say they still have to wait in long lines of traffic just to get gas, but they're happier that more places are opening around Panama City so they can fill their tank.

"It's great I can just go up to a pump half the time and get to pumping," said Scott. "I hope everything just keeps on going forward and hopefully were going forward with the hurricane, if Michael was like this I don't want to see Janet," said Scott.

AAA said locals should see gas drop down to around $2.40 by the end of the year.

Great news from Minsk but where the **** was David Cameron?

There was encouraging news today about the Ukraine ceasefire – Like all of us, I’m hoping it will hold and lead to a lasting solution to the appalling escalation of violence that had been growing in East Ukraine all week. Well done to our European leaders who stayed up all night in Minsk, Belarus, negotiating with the Russians and the Ukrainians until reaching this agreement. Phew.

This has been a major crisis in Europe and we were all lucky that the German and French leaders were united and up to the challenge. This is what Europe is all about. Hang on a minute, where was Britain in all this? Britain? Is it still in Europe? Maybe David Cameron had an even bigger problem to solve today and that’s why he wasn’t anywhere to be seen over this crisis.

So where was he? Oh, yes, silly me, he was electioneering in Lincolnshire with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, for the UK General Election, which is months away still, in May. I suspect even Conservative Party loyalists must wonder if Britain is in safe hands.

Luckily for the rest of us, our European partners didn’t take their eyes off the ball. Let’s all hope that they will be peace in Ukraine and that the good folk of Lincolnshire asked the British Prime Minister why the **** he wasn’t in Minsk.

Today is finally Halloween and we’re taking a look at Halloween monsters! From folklore to the silver screen, there are hundreds of monsters lurking in shadows, ready to give us a fright. But have you ever thought how they got their names?

First things first, and a favourite topic of Halloween pedants everywhere, Frankenstein. Brought to life by Mary Shelley in her 1818 novel, Frankenstein’s monster is often wrongly called Frankenstein, which is in fact the name of the doctor who created it. Indeed, the word Frankenstein and the prefix Franken- are now commonly and wrongly used to refer to something monstrous. In actual fact, in the novel the Doctor refuses to give his creation a name and instead refers to it with words like creature, demon and ogre. Shelley reportedly claimed that the name Frankenstein came to her in a dream but it is also the name of an old aristocratic German family, whose castle Shelley is said to have visited.

Less monster, more cosmic entity, Chthullu is the creation of weird fiction author, H.P. Lovecraft. Yes, it’s a bit of a tongue twister but Lovecraft did provide a pronunciation guide to help readers along:

…the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly. The u is like that in full; and the first syllable is not unlike klul in sound, hence the h represents the guttural thickness.

Still not sure you’re saying it right? Go easy on yourself puny human, Lovecraft also said that it’s impossible for human vocal chords to accurately reproduce this alien word.

Thought that a trip to the garden centre was a risk-free affair? Think again! Meet the Triffid, a venomous, carnivorous, walking plant … and it’s out to get you. Handily, the triffid’s creator, John Wyndham provides a very detailed etymology of the name in his 1951 novel, Day of the Triffids:

So a name had to be found for them. Already there were botanists wallowing, after their custom, in polysyllabic dog Latin and Greek to produce variants on ambulans and pseudopodia, but what the newspapers and the public wanted was something easy on the tongue and not too heavy on the headlines for general use. If you could see the papers of that time you would find them referring to: TRICHOTS TRINITS TRICUSPS TRIPEDALS TRIGENATES TRIPEDS TRIGONS TRIQUETS TRILOGS TRIPODS TRIDENTATES TRIPPETS and a number of other mysterious things not even beginning with “tri”-though almost all centered on the feature of that active, three-pronged root. There was argument, public, private, and bar-parlor, with heated championship of one term or another on near-scientific, quasi-etymological, and a number of other grounds, but gradually one term began to dominate this philological gymkhana, in its first form it was not quite acceptable, but common usage modified the original lone first “i,” and custom quickly wrote in a second “f,” to leave no doubt about it. And so emerged the standard term. A catchy little name originating in some newspaper office as a handy label for an oddity-but destined one day to be associated with pain, fear, and misery-TRIFFID.

Godzilla or Gojira (ゴジラ)in its native Japanese is a portmanteau of the Japanese words gorira (gorilla) and kujira (whale). There was a story that “Gorija” was a nickname given to a rather overweight stagehand at the film studio but this has sadly since been dismissed.

Last but not least, grab your garlic, it’s everyone’s favourite vampire, Dracula. Bram Stoker’s creepy Count was named after Vlad the Impaler, who was a Voivade (an Old Slavic term for a warlord, commonly translated as a Duke) of Wallachia in the 1400s. Vlad was a member of the House of Drăculești which began with his father, Vlad II Dracul. Vlad II was given the surname Dracul upon joining The Order of the Dragon and the word can be traced to the Romanian drac (devil) and then back to the Latin draco (dragon). Count Dracula goes by many names as can be seen in the following excerpt:

I could hear a lot of words often repeated, queer words, for there were many nationalities in the crowd; so I quietly got my polyglot dictionary from my bag and looked them out….amongst them were Ordog – Satan, polok – hell, stregoica – witch, vrolok and vlksklak ¬– both of which mean the same thing, one being Slovak and the other Servia for something that is either were-wolf or vampire.

Another word used by Stoker is nosferatu, which you may recognise from the classic 1922 silent horror film. The origins of this term are difficult to trace, some believe it comes from the Greek nosophoros (νοσοφόρος), which means “disease bearing”. Others think it stems from a misinterpretation of a Romanian word (potentially nesuferitu – the insufferable one) by the German folklorist Wilhelm Schmidt, who introduced the term in his 1865 article on Transylvanian customs.

An exact method for the bus dispatching problem in rolling horizons

Document Type

Journal Article

Publication Date

Subject Area

place - north america, mode - bus, planning - methods, operations - coordination, ridership - demand

Service regularity, Headway-based operations, High-frequency bus lines, Bus dispatching, Rolling horizon optimization

In this work, we adapt the rolling-horizon approach of Eberlein et al. (2001) for adjusting the dispatching times of buses at each rolling horizon. The industry practice is to adjust the dispatching time of a bus once it departs from the first stop while considering that future trips will operate as planned. In contrast, a rolling-horizon approach adjusts simultaneously the dispatching times of all trips that operate during a pre-determined time interval resulting in a coordinated effort to maintain the target headways. Due to the increased number of dispatching time decisions, this coordinated effort increases the computational burden. To reduce the computational cost, we introduce a nonlinear program and we propose a novel reformulation that limits the recursive relations of the optimization problem. Our program is proved to be convex and can be solved to global optimality under a limited computational cost. In addition, it outperforms myopic methods that adjust the dispatching time of each bus trip in isolation. The sensitivity of our method to travel time and passenger demand fluctuations is investigated on a simulation scenario of bus line 15L in Denver.

Pawtucket to keep all fire trucks in service amid response time concerns

Blackstone Valley

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) – The city of Pawtucket will keep all fire apparatus in rotation during the temporary closure of Station 3, Eyewitness News has learned. The city previously planned to take an engine out of service, causing fire union leaders to express concerns about response times.

The move was set to take place during a four-to-eight-week closure of Station 3 during which the building’s roof and electrical system are set to undergo roughly $300,000 worth of repairs.

On Thursday, city and union leaders issued a joint statement, saying in part, “Up until very recently, the plan was to temporarily remove Engine 3 from service while these upgrades and repairs were taking place. At the request of the Fire Union, the Administration and the Fire Union, working collaboratively, changed the distribution of apparatus to allow Engine 3 to stay in service.”

The statement goes on to say the change in plans has resulted in the relocation of rescues to different stations than originally planned, something that prompted the captain of Rescue 1 to sound the alarm.

“The current placement of Rescue 1 has positioned us as far from our district as possible, while still remaining in the city,” Captain Earl Newman wrote in a letter to the city’s public safety director. The letter was separately obtained by Eyewitness News.

Newman said Rescue 1 serves a large number of people in low-income neighborhoods. He said utilization of emergency medical services is higher in this area, and because of this, Rescue 1 is, “the busiest rescue in the city, and, quite possibly, the state.”

He believes the relocation of the rescue to Newport Avenue during construction at Station 3 will add four to five minutes in additional travel time.

“This would be drastically increased during times of high traffic, for example during the upcoming baseball season or during school hours as our primary route to this district requires us to utilize Division Street,” he wrote. “As you know, the traffic around McCoy Stadium during any baseball game would hinder our ability to respond to our assigned district.”

Newman is calling for the rescue to be relocated to Cottage Street so access to their assigned coverage area is more convenient.

In their joint statement, the city and union said the safety of the public and their employees is paramount.

“The City and the Fire Union are working together toward a resolution regarding the distribution of the Rescues that would address the issues raised in the letter,” the statement said.

Drone targets base for Iran-backed militia in northern Iraq

US & World
This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

BAGHDAD (AP) — An unmanned drone dropped explosives on a base belonging to Iran-backed paramilitary forces in northern Iraq early Friday, wounding two people, Iraqi security officials and a military statement said, amid regional tensions between the United States and Iran.

The statement said the drone dropped two grenades half an hour apart on the base in Amirli, in Iraq’s northern Salaheddin province. No further details were provided.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which struck shortly after midnight. The Iranian-backed mostly Shiite Muslim militias, in a statement, blamed the Islamic State group, saying it confronted the attack without providing details.

A senior official with the militias known collectively as the Popular Mobilization Forces told The Associated Press that the attack resulted in the wounding of two Iranians and that the base hit housed advisers from Iran and Lebanon. He said the first attack targeted the headquarters of the advisers, resulting in the wounding of the two Iranians.

The second attack hit a weapons depot, causing a large fire at the base. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose sensitive information.

An Iraqi official said IS militants were most likely behind the attack, ruling out a U.S.-led coalition or American attack. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

A Pentagon spokesman denied U.S. involvement.

“We are aware of open source reports of possible aggressive actions against a Popular Mobilization Force unit in Salah ad Din. U.S. forces were not involved. We have no further information about this report,” Navy Cmdr. Sean Robertson said.

Tensions between Iran and the U.S. have left Iraq’s government, which is allied with both sides, in a delicate position.

Iraq is home to U.S. bases and more than 5,000 U.S. troops, as well as dozens of Iran-supported militias who fought against IS militants alongside Iraqi government troops.

Baghdad declared victory over IS in December 2017, after the last urban battle had been won following years-long battles that left its cities in ruins. But the group, which has used drones in its attacks in the past, is still waging a low-level insurgency particularly in rural areas.

Ukrainian worker dies in Poland after employer abandons him

US & World
This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A Ukrainian man who fainted on the job in Poland was found dead in a forest after his employer dropped him off there rather than call an ambulance.

The man’s body was discovered in western Poland by a forester on June 13, but the death of 36-year-old Vasyl Chorny was only reported Monday by the daily Gazeta Wyborcza. The newspaper said Chorny was working in a coffin workshop without legal documentation in Poland, which was why his employer did not call for medical help.

The case highlights the vulnerability of many Ukrainians working in Poland, where a booming economy has attracted workers from the eastern neighbor whose economy has been paralyzed by corruption and war.

Some 1.2 million Ukrainians are officially registered in Poland but migration experts believe that hundreds of thousands more could be working here illegally.

The Ukrainian man reportedly became weak and started having convulsions before he fainted in the hot and fuel-filled carpenters’ workshop in the village of Jastrzebsko Stare on June 12. His colleagues told investigators that the company owner, who has been identified only as Grazyna F. due to privacy laws, forbade the others from calling an ambulance because she did not want to be caught with undocumented workers.

She was arrested last week and has been charged with failing to help a person in immediate danger and unintentionally causing his death. She could face up to five years in prison if convicted.

Salem Red Sox ready for season opener with talented roster

(Copyright by WSLS - All rights reserved)

SALEM (WSLS 10 SPORTS) - The Salem Red Sox are eager to return to the field in 2016. They boast new talent, top three prospects in all of baseball and they also have a new manager.

The Red Sox welcome in lots of new faces this season. On the diamond they have top prospects in second baseman Yoan Moncada, Rafael Devers at third and outfielder Andrew Benintendi.

"I feel like this lineup up and down is going to be really talented. I feel like we can do some special things this year. I think we're going to push each other and get better every day and hopefully win some games," said Benintendi.

"We're going to be here to win and it's a fine line you have to walk. You're trying to develop players you want as many guys to get experience in each situation they possibly can and grow but then again you don't want to sacrifice the team success," explained manager Joe Oliver.

On the mound Salem will be solid with ace pitching in Travis Lakins and Australian Daniel McGrath, who will get the opening day start.

"Starting pitching and bullpen we have a lot of guys that are hot coming out of the bullpen and some guys with really good off speed stuff so we're going to be a really good pitching staff along with the hitters," said McGrath.

Although they're young and talented on paper, Oliver knows they'll need to turn that into reality.

"I expect a lot out of these guys out of the clubhouse. It's part of my speech to these guys is that we're going to go have fun as long as we do the work." Oliver added.

The Salem Red Sox open the season at home at Lewis Gale field at 7:05 on Thursday.

49ers’ RB Tevin Coleman ‘expected to have a chance’ to play in Super Bowl LIV

The Big Game

SANTA CLARA (KRON) – Just one day after the San Francisco 49ers won the NFC Championship, the team is wasting no time by getting straight to work for the Super Bowl.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters on Monday to discuss injuries, the win and the game ahead.

Shanahan addressed injury questions first, letting reporters know running back Tevin Coleman has a chance to play in Miami.

Coleman dislocated his shoulder Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers and was carted off the field.

Reporters asked the head coach what the chances were we would be seeing the running back take the field on Super Bowl Sunday.

“I expect him to have a good chance to play,” Shanahan said.

The head coach compared the running backs injury to the movie, “Lethal Weapon.”

“This is more of a Lethal Weapon type thing, where you pop it back in, ” Shanahan explained.

Once the 49ers receive images back from Coleman’s MRI, the coaching staff will have a better idea of the likeliness the running back will play.

She raised her kids from prison for 35 years. Now that she’s free, she wants to keep helping imprisoned moms

She raised her kids from prison for 35 years. Now that she’s free, she wants to keep helping imprisoned moms
Posted at 7:20 AM, May 12, 2019
and last updated 2019-05-12 07:20:57-04

For 35 years, Judy Henderson spent countless hours on a prison phone wishing she could hold her children. After a governor’s pardon set her free, she knew she couldn’t just forget about other moms like her.

Henderson, now 69, was convicted of capital murder for the death of a Springfield, Missouri, jeweler in 1982 and was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for 50 years, according to the Missouri Department of Corrections. She and her boyfriend had planned to rob the jeweler, but the robbery turned deadly when the man refused to give them a ring and other valuables. Henderson’s boyfriend fired a gun several times, killing the jeweler and injuring her, court records show.

Both were charged with murder, but only Henderson was found guilty. At the time, her son, Chip, was 3 and her daughter, Angel, was 12.

She was forced to trade the life she had with her children — driving Angel to tap dancing classes, afternoons baking brownies — for phone calls and visits to the Chillicothe Correctional Center, about 75 miles northeast of Kansas City.

Despite the distance, Henderson remained close to Angel by teaching her from afar how to cook sweet potatoes, supporting her through breakups and helping her pick careers after college.

Mother’s Day was always particularly tough. Henderson welcomed holiday visits from Angel, who planned different meals each year. Sometimes Angel would bring a homemade meal, other times she’d buy prepared food.

“She would always visit on Mother’s Day,” Henderson said. “And when my mother was alive (they’d) come together along with most of my siblings.”

But Henderson had virtually no contact with Chip. Her ex-husband wouldn’t allow the boy to visit or even talk over the phone with her until he turned 16.

“When I walked into the visiting room, I didn’t even recognize him,” she said. “We both starting crying. It was a moment that I would never forget.”

As the years passed and her children grew older, she also got to meet her three grandchildren — albeit from behind bars.

“It was very joyful and it was heartbreaking that I couldn’t be with my daughter when they were born, and to walk her through the pregnancy in person,” Henderson said.

In 2017, then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens commuted Henderson’s sentence and later pardoned her on his last day in office, a spokeswoman with the state’s department of corrections said. In his decision, Greitens said Henderson’s role in the robbery and murder was minor, according to a statement from the governor’s office.

Since her release, Henderson has traveled with her family to the Bahamas, gone shopping with her daughter and finally celebrated her first Mother’s Day as a free woman.

At her daughter’s home, they grilled pork chops, chicken and hot dogs on the sundeck and played yard games, and she had water balloon fights with her youngest granddaughter.

“I just felt so much love that day. I loved looking at my children, my grandchildren and being able to be here with them,” she said. “It was the best Mother’s Day.”

It’s a feeling Henderson won’t soon take for granted.

She can’t turn her back on other moms

As much as Henderson enjoys her new life far away from prison, she wants to help other mothers who are still locked up, separated from their children and unable to celebrate a proper Mother’s Day.

“I cannot turn my back on them. I just saw so many cases and so much injustice that these women should not be there,” Henderson said.

Prior to her release, she spent many hours assisting women as they filled their clemency applications and worked with legislators drafting a bill that would grant parole to some incarcerated elderly individuals.

“She was in prison not only trying to get home to her own children but she was inside trying to help a lot of women,” said Andrea James, founder and executive director of the National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls.

In the past few months, Henderson has taken numerous two and a half-hour road trips to the Missouri State Capitol to appear at hearings and meet with legislators to push the proposed bill. If approved, the bill would allow individuals over 65 who are sentenced to life without parole for a minimum of 50 years to receive a parole hearing after 30 years.

Henderson said many of her former fellow inmates can benefit from the bill.

She has been balancing her job as an administrative assistant for Catholic Charities with events at churches, law schools and charities where she speaks about the clemency process.

And earlier this week, she guided the family of a friend serving more than a decade in prison in preparing for the woman’s release. She talked them through the process, the expectations her friend could have and helped them buy toiletries and a walker.

“It’s been so rewarding to know that I can help those women in prison who have children, giving them things that they are going to need when they come home and even prepare their families for when they come home,” Henderson said.

For her second Mother’s Day since her release, Henderson just wants to eat hot dogs and play with her grandchildren in the backyard. It’s simple, she says, but it’s something that many incarcerated mothers can only dream of.

“I would probably take my last breath trying to help women come home from prison,” she said.

More people seem to be trying to simplify their lives by reducing the clutter in their homes and making conscious decisions about what to keep and what to discard.

millennial money makeover

There are a lot of myths about the habits, attitudes and desires of the millennial generation, those born between 1979 and 1994. But one reality is the uncertain economic future millennials face.

Is Your 529 Plan Working?

Aug 15, 2018
college tuition

According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2017 - 2018 school year was $34,740 at private colleges, $9,970 for state residents at public colleges and $25,620 for out-of-state residents attending public universities. The average annual increase in college tuition from 1980 to 2014 grew by nearly 260 percent.

your money or your life vicki robin

"Your Money or Your Life," by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez, was originally published in 1992. Since then, the book has sold more than one million copies and a newly revised fourth edition recently was released as an e-book.

The book takes a "whole systems" approach, integrating your relationship with money – earning, spending and saving – to your overall life values. And this revised edition reflects the dramatic changes that have occurred in the financial landscape since the original was published more than 25 years ago.

Many of us think we need to wait until our kids are old enough to “get it” before having the money talk. But research shows you actually can start the conversation much earlier. The research also shows the biggest influence on a child’s financial behavior is mom and dad. So, when and how do you start?

Though efforts to teach students how to navigate the world of credit, debt, budgets and savings has improved dramatically over the last decade, many high school and even college students graduate with no real sense of how to manage money.

  Several studies have shown that money is one of the main reasons couples argue: how much should be put away in savings, keeping joint or separate bank and credit card accounts, what do you mean you bought a bass boat?

Brother, Can You Spare a Bitcoin?

Mar 12, 2014

  Since the electronic virtual currency Bitcoin began circulating in 2009, it has garnered strong support, as well as serious concern, world-wide. Proponents of the crypto-currency point to its transparency and ease of use, while critics claim it is no more than a commodities bubble.

Every Woman Should Rock Short Hair At Least Once In Her Life

"I see you've had your little Waiting to Exhale moment."

Her Voice

“I see you've had your little Waiting to Exhale moment."

That was the comment my sorority sister made when she saw me with my haircut for the first time. The thick, kinky-curly locks that went past my shoulders had been sheared off in favor of a much shorter tapered look.

I wondered if she really thought that my new 'do was man-inspired. I didn't blame her. It's common for a woman who breaks up with her boyfriend or husband to cut off nearly all her hair like Bernadette did in Waiting to Exhale.

But me? I'd been single for quite some time. I just wanted the 'fro gone because it was too much work! Or so I thought...

It wasn't until many months later I realized that deep down, I'd wanted a break from the past, too. And I got much more than that.

I didn't expect to undergo the mental transformation that I did. After my haircut, I questioned myself in ways I hadn't since high school.

Am I beautiful without long hair? I wondered.

Thoughts like that made me panic. Did the self-esteem I'd spent over 23 years building really shatter in an hour's worth of hair cutting?

Sure, I found pride in the numerous compliments my bold curls would garner, but I never saw myself as attached to my hair. Frankly, I'd hated my hair, not because I didn't think it was beautiful, but because it took entirely too long to style. (I'm lazy.)

I thought the freedom to wake up and go for once would cancel out any reservations I'd have about the new cut. Having an edgy cut would be more fun and unique; no longer would I blend in among the sea of afros. I knew I'd absolutely love it.

However, it took me quite a while to get used to being “near bald-headed." Sometimes I'd even wake up, look in the mirror, and go in shock over what I'd done.

So…why do I want this for you? Why insist that every woman question her beauty, as if the media doesn't give us enough cause for that already?

In the end, the unencumbered freedom, greater sense of self, and symbolic emotional healing I gained made me wonder why all women don't cut their hair!

Read more about the positive effects I experienced after cutting off my hair.

Unencumbered Freedom

We all know that women, black women in particular, spend entirely too much time and money on their hair. I mean, have you seen the hair care aisle? Men have a few shelves. We have an aisle.

Black women have entire beauty supply stores! The Black hair care industry is even valued at almost $500 billion!

We're constantly inundated with hair ads and shampoo commercials and videos of gorgeous, extension-laden celebs. Hair, hair, hair!

Before you go on a date, what do you have to worry about? Makeup, outfit, and hair. Before a job interview? Outfit, interview prep, hair. Before you leave the house in general? Hair is always a concern!

That's not to say that having short hair is a walk in the park, either. But when I had short hair, I cut my wash day to a mere wash hour. Styling time went from an hour and a half to 15 minutes!

I wasn't overly worried about how to tame her (my hair is a she) or what impression she'd help me make because she was barely there, unlike my can't-ignore-it 'fro.

Having the ability to wake up and go most days caused me to lessen the importance I have on my hair. You don't realize how much value you place on your hair until you don't have any.

I gained a sense of freedom I'd never had. I'd always had too much damn hair.

I felt freer, lighter and not just in the physical sense, but in the emotional sense because I had more room to just focus on me, the real me, sans luscious locks, which brings me to my next point.

Actress Amandla Stenberg after a big chop

Greater Sense of Self

Men love long hair. That's no secret. Here's a secret: so do you.

It's not your fault. Society conditions men and women to go heart eyes over long, flowing hair. It's the standard of beauty.

Most of us won't realize how deep-seated this love for long hair is. A lot of us will even deny this internalized European standard of beauty, claiming that we love ourselves regardless of if our hair is two or twenty-two inches long.

“I am not my hair," we will say. And then we shear off our beloved hair and later that night, gawk in disbelief at our reflection as ridiculous worries seep out:

Will my hair ever grow back? Am I still attractive to men? Is my curl-free, short, natural hair beautiful?

Am I still beautiful?

Questioning your beauty makes you question your inner self. Maybe you had a good grasp of who you were before, but now you must reconfigure yourself as someone who is able to find her beauty with or without long hair.

Will you be someone who finds her power in her hair or will you reject that notion of womanhood? Are you someone who has the courage to go against what nearly everyone considers “beautiful" or do you readily go with society's standards because that's what's comfortable?

Cut off your hair and see. Because not only will you gain this clearer picture of yourself, but you'll gain a newfound strength and confidence in your femininity. And that's not even the best benefit…

Actress Keke Palmer smiles in a new cut

Symbolic Emotional Healing

It's a peculiar feeling to watch your hair float to the floor, and then study it as it decorates the tiling, while coming to the sobering realization that it's no longer connected to your head. I am now a bald-headed bitch, you think. Or, for those less ratchet, I really don't have hair anymore.

I can only describe it as a mixture of fear, excitement, worry, but one other emotion is most prominent: relief. Oh what a great relief!

Maybe you're like me and don't even notice when you're lugging around too much emotional baggage until you see your strands severed, and with it feel simultaneous severing from past pain and emotional healing. Or maybe you're more in tune with your emotions and revel in your now unburdened back. Your load is almost weightless. It's light.

Here's the thing: that long-standing joke that women cut their hair when they're going through something–it's true, but those women get the last laugh. There are very few material things that you can shed in such a short amount of time and with it feel the immediate, deep impact that cutting off your hair gives you.

We talk about cutting off toxic people and things every New Year. It's easy to delete a phone number or throw away those brownies (mostly), but how easy is it to cut off the memory of the one you love telling you it's over or the deep-rooted self-hatred that drove you into a depression or the image of a text message with words that disrupt your entire world or the echo of your family members' voices saying you'll never be any good? Now imagine it being as easy as a snip!

Cutting off your hair won't heal the wound in its entirety, but it will pour on that soothing balm and get the healing process started. It's been a time-worn, crucial first step for countless women and take it from me, it feels damned good!

The Dyson of Drones

The Bladeless Drone is aptly named for its brilliant design that ditches dangerous blades for air ducts. The resulting unit is not only safer but so quiet that neighbors and strangers alike will thank you for not bugging them with an annoying hummmmmmmm!

It features four bladeless “propellers.” The main propeller (easily missed) is positioned in the center and responsible for most of the ducted flow to support take-off and landing. Three other propellers control the direction of the drone. The two front propellers can rotate 20 degrees forward and backwards. The back propeller rotates 20 degrees clockwise and counter clockwise.

It also has four main air intake valves to collect moving air when flying. It takes the air and accelerates it through internal ducts and blades, forcing it through small vents generating downward flow to create lift. Additionally, each propeller is programmed to work based on the amount of headwind received. At ground level, the propellers work at their maximum, sucking air from the four intake valves and accelerating it to take-off. During flight, depending on the strength of the headwind, the propellers regulate themselves to save energy and work with the induced wind.

The Bladeless Drone is a Winner of the 2017 Red Dot Design Concept Award.

Karma Yoga: How A Practice Brings People Closer Together

The Karma Krew inspires community involvement.
yoga class outside tree pose

The Karma Krew inspires community involvement.

Avril Bright of Boulder, Colorado, considers herself a compassionate person. But she admits that until a while ago, she had done little to channel that empathy into action in her own community. Then she discovered Karma Krew—a group determined to open hearts and transform lives through karma yoga, or service—and all that changed. "It really challenged me to step outside myself," Bright says. On one Karma Krew retreat, she helped paint a shelter for abused children. Afterward, she didn't feel right leaving for good; she found she wanted to form a deeper connection with the kids. "The night after the retreat, I couldn't sleep," she says. "The next morning I called the shelter and started volunteering there on my own."

Since 2006 Karma Krew has mobilized yogis around the country to do work in their communities. Local "krews" have created care packages for members of Alzheimer's caregiver support groups and planted oak trees, among other things. The organization also sells "Do Good Things" cards, which encourage random acts of altruism. The idea, says cofounder Scott Feinberg, is to insert some kindness for its own sake into a busy, stressful world.

Feinberg and a fellow yoga teacher, Amy Lombardo, started Karma Krew after taking a group of yogis on a retreat to do karma yoga in post-Katrina New Orleans. Today there are krews around the country.

See alsoWhy Cuba Is 2016’s Karma Yoga Hot Spot

Each month Lombardo (who lives in New York) and Feinberg (who resides in Florida) choose a particular theme, such as caregiving or environmental preservation. Then krew chiefs decide how to implement that theme based on each community's needs. That might mean working with an after-school tutoring program, for example, when the theme is supporting schools.

Because each locale is unique, Feinberg says, krew chiefs have complete latitude to decide for themselves how they can best help. Chiefs—usually yoga teachers but sometimes students—bring together yogis from local studios for the three- to four-hour working retreats, which combine asana with the various service projects.

Karma Krew's national support system takes much of the guesswork out of planning community activism. Krew chiefs have regular conference calls with Feinberg and Lombardo to share their successes and challenges, and the group gives suggestions to the chiefs for making their krews successful.

For her part, Avril Bright has gone from krew member to founding chief of the Boulder group. "It turns your orbit around and sets you on another trajectory," she says of the volunteer experience. "Community-service work travels from the fingers back to the heart."
