New York City has spent about $3.8 million of its own funds so far on its response to the coronavirus and is seeking at least $20 million from the state, according to a top de Blasio official.
"This is a top priority. To the extent that we need to spend, [agencies] need to have the authority to spend," Melanie Hartzog, director of the mayor's Office of Management and Budget, said at a Monday hearing in City Hall.
She pointed to the 2014 ebola outbreak — in which a person was diagnosed with the disease in New York City following a trip to the epicenter in West Africa — as a point of comparison for spending on the coronavirus response.
Hartzog said the city spent about $20 million on that response, adding, "That's a good proxy for us here at OMB for planning across the agencies."
She also said the city is taking a look at how the coronavirus could impact tourism and other sectors of the economy.
Breaking News
"Any changes we see will be reflected in the budget forecast," Hartzog said. "We are most certainly concerned about that given the volatility in the market, as well as the impact on tourism.
"It is too soon in the preliminary budget for us to reflect any changes in our forecast," she added, "but it could very well affect our forecast for April."
Last month, Gov. Cuomo announced $40 million in emergency funds for the state's response to the coronavirus. Hartzog wants the city to tap into that source.
The virus, which has infected more than 85,000 people around the world, has disrupted global supply chains and caused stock markets to seesaw.
Albany's official forecast for the economy in the fiscal year 2021, released Sunday, notes the coronavirus poses a major risk to state revenues, though it does not put a number on the potential impact.
"The uncertainty surrounding the spread and impact of the coronavirus is an exceedingly significant downside risk to the economic and revenue forecasts as it directly impacts the financial markets, global supply chains, and trade and could severely restrain global and domestic growth," states the document, produced by state Assembly and Senate's financial committees.
"In contrast, a quick resolution to the coronavirus outbreak will lead to a rebound in the growth of the Chinese economy and with stronger growth overseas that could result in stronger growth in employment, wages and corporate profits."

9 Best Mattress for Trundle Bed
The appeal for trundle beds is obvious. They are quite affordable, and they save a lot of space. So, stick around and find out which mattress would be the best for you and your bed.
1. Linenspa Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid-Mattress
When it comes to mattresses, there's a debate that has been going on for a while. It's the debate between a spring mattress and a memory foam mattress. And it has a lot of valid points to consider.
We won't be getting deep into it, but the seemingly fun and bouncy spring mattress has its drawbacks. The biggest one being how comparatively quicker it ages. But it's not to say that memory foams are flawless. They cause issues like heat entrapment.
What's great about our first mattress is that it has the best of both worlds. First, it has the support of a spring mattress that doesn't make you feel like you're sinking in a river. On the other hand, it also has the comfort and durability of memory foam.
If you're getting something as hefty as a mattress, moving it around or bringing it home can turn into a headache. This one comes in a compressed and compact form to save you from misery. Once you open it up and let it decompress, it gets back to the full size.
Something great about this mattress is the way the materials inside it. The top has soft memory foam on it. After that, there's another layer of foam to ensure further comfort. Only after that do we have the springs.
- Memory foam improves comfort
- Innerspring makes it firm
- Comes in compact packaging
- Coils are very quiet
- Affordable
- Memory foam can trap heat
- Some users complained about the cover's quality
2. Milliard Tri Folding Mattress
If you're using a trundle bed, then you probably are the kind of person that appreciates portability and storage efficiency. Be it in the retail package or storage method — the whole experience is bound to be better with that.
The next product we've got for you on our list excels at that. As the name tri-folding suggests, you can fold this into a third of its original size. There's not a whole lot of mattresses that can do that.
Along with the portability, the comfort that this mattress provides has turned it into an instant success. The foam used in it is plush and high in density, and it also preserved the softness. Hence, it doesn't turn into a pit when you lie on it without sacrificing the softness.
Another praiseworthy thing about this mattress is its cover. It comes with a soft to the touch, durable bamboo cover. You can remove it quickly and wash it whenever needed. What's even better is that it is machine washable, ensuring convenience for cleaning.
There is something that you should keep in mind, though. The foam that this mattress uses isn't memory foam. However, the foam used in this 4-inch mattress is still pretty impressive.
- Portable design
- Washable bamboo cover
- Foam is plush and comfortable
- You can use it for various purposes
- There's also a slight bounce to it
- Doesn't use memory foam
- Might be too firm for some people
3. Best Price 6 Inch Memory Foam Mattress
One of the best things about memory foams for trundle beds is the way they perfectly contour the shape of your body. Moreover, it relieves the stress from your body's pressure points, regardless of your sleeping position.
The third mattress on this list does not only have that in its arsenal, however. Firstly, we have three layers to talk about. On the first layer, it has memory foam to help you get comfortable and relieve your stress. The unconventional part starts in the second layer.
Right underneath the top layer, it has a soft layer of ventilated foam. An issue with memory foam is that it traps the heat of your body in it. Comfort takes a hit this way.
In this case, the ventilated foam allows the mattress to breathe, which in turn helps it dissipate the heat efficiently and help you sleep better. It does not end at that; it also has a layer of high-density foam underneath all that.
You should keep in mind that some users found a hefty amount of fiberglass in it when they removed the cover, which can be harmful. So, before you take off its cover, make sure you have taken a bit of a precaution, just to be sure.
- High-quality memory foam
- Optimized airflow with a ventilated layer
- Relieves pressure points and provides comfort
- Firm base helps with the weight distribution
- Great quality cover
- Removing the cover often lets out fiberglass
- Memory foam can still be slightly hot
4. Olee Sleep Memory Foam Mattress
When it comes to mattresses for trundle beds, prices can be a big issue. Many great ones provide excellent materials and a great experience, but they have a price tag so huge that it might be well over your budget.
In the affordable price segment, however, there can be a lot of bad apples. These make it harder to choose a product. With our next mattress, we have found that it provides a fantastic experience for its price. Let's find out all about it.
This mattress is 7 inches in thickness, and it uses memory foam as its material. It uses a foam construction with multiple layers – meaning that this helps reduce the amount of movement that is transferred throughout the mattress.
The usage of this foam also makes sure that your body will be comfortable all around without any pressure. This mattress uses a layer of 1-inch thick gel foam to make sure that the foam doesn't trap any of the heat and make you uncomfortable.
To reduce the heat that the memory foam might trap in itself, this is helpful. So, you can sleep without any discomfort or annoyance on this one. Moreover, Olee used a 2.5 inches thick convoluted foam. That improves the ventilation in the mattress.
- I-Gel foam dissipates heat
- Good quality Jacquard cover
- Plushy feeling with memory foam
- Improved ventilation with convoluted foam
- Easy shipping with compressed packaging
- No layers that can improve firmness
- Thickness isn't uniform in a few cases
5. LUCID Memory Foam
Sometimes, you're looking for a mattress for trundle beds for your children, and the thickness needs to be minimal. Not only that, if you're someone with any sort of lower back pain, then you might also want to opt for something that is more firm and is not too plush.
First of all, this mattress uses memory foam on the topmost layer. Hence, it ensures that it's not too hard on your body's pressure points, depending on how you sleep. And the way it nicely forms around your body without making you feel like you're dipping too much is excellent.
However, we did talk about something firm for you or your child's bed. This is where the unconventional part comes in. With a 4" dense base foam that is bamboo charcoal infused, this mattress provides you with the firmness you want. But it's not too firm either.
The noteworthy thing about this mattress is that it ensures an excellent base for your body. With many other mattresses, your body can be uncomfortable with how it dips in really deep.
Additionally, if you have a problem with your back, something too plush can be a deal-breaker. The fact that this mattress isn't too high also makes it easier for children to climb on it.
- Great for people with lower back pain
- Very durable
- Quality of the cover is excellent
- Usable for both adults and children
- Comfortably firm without being too hard
- Not for people who want something plush
- Taller and heavier adults might be uncomfortable
6. Modway Aveline Memory Mattress
Our next product comes from a reputable brand. Their mattresses have received so many great reviews from users throughout the years. These products are some of the most affordable ones that will give you the experience of a high-end product.
A big highlight for this product is the gel-infused memory foam. This product uses some great quality foam that will provide you with the comfort you've been yearning for. But that's not all that it has in store for you.
One problem that many people don't like about memory foams is the lack of heat dissipation. It can make you sweaty, uncomfortable, and ruin your sleep for good. What makes this product different is its foam. Compared to most memory foams, this mattress tends to provide a more relaxed sleep.
The high-density poly foam in this mattress adds some firmness to the mattress to tackle that. This way, you wouldn't feel like the usual too soft feeling of memory foam that doesn't have much stability. Instead, it provides better support for your back.
For side sleepers, this mattress will be quite comfortable to sleep on. In the case of back sleepers, it might be a little hard to move around due to the softness. Additionally, the motion transfer is very minimal on it.
- Improved stability with dense polyfoam
- Traditional plush memory foam
- Great for side sleepers
- Doesn't transfer too much motion
- Heating issues are relatively lower
- Slightly uncomfortable for back sleepers
- Stomach sleepers might not like the softness
7. Classic Brands Cool Gel Memory Foam
A whole lot can change depending on how you sleep and the position of your body. For instance, if you're someone who enjoys sleeping on the sides, your shoulders will be the contact point to your mattress.
This means that you will want something that won't be hard on your shoulders (or what your pressure point is). The next product for trundle beds is from Classic Brands. It is excellent at reducing your body's strain with its medium-firm gel-infused memory foam without being too hard.
A known issue with spring mattresses is that they degrade relatively quickly. Dust mites are one of the reasons for that. When it comes to memory foam, however, that is not the case. Memory foams last much longer and are more durable.
These foams are naturally resistant to mold, dust mites, and allergens. With this mattress, you can be free of worries. It also ensures maximum ventilation and breathability with the gel infusion to make it feel cool and cozy.
Now, let's talk about the cover. This mattress comes with a polyester cover, which isn't exactly of the best quality. But it does its job reasonably well. To sum it up, this is a remarkable product coming at a very low price. It also reduces the traditional issues with memory foam.
- Has a compressed quality box packaging
- Affordable price tag
- Gel-infused memory foam
- Not too plush
- Great for both kids and adults
- Slightly smelly
- Cover isn't the best in quality
8. Fortnight Bedding Foam Mattress
If you're looking for a 4-inch thick mattress for trundle beds, the chances are that you are not looking for something very plush. These mattresses can fit easily on most beds and are great for various usages. This next mattress is of those firm ones.
The first thing users would probably expect if they're buying a 4-inch mattress is portability. And this mattress shines at that. You can easily fold it up in a smaller form factor. This improves the ease of storage and portability, in case there is a need for that.
While this product is one of the firm ones, it is not so firm that it'll ruin your comfort. Of course, these beds are not for everyone because many people might prefer soft and plush mattresses.
But for the ones that prefer a medium-firm mattress that still doesn't lose its softness and cozy feeling, this one will do the trick. Especially if you're someone with back pain, then this is a blessing for you.
It's because your back needs some support from the mattress. But softer ones don't have the firmness necessary to help keep your back straight. Thus, having this product from Fortnight is much more comfortable.
- Provides support for your back
- Doesn't contain harmful elements like TDCPP of TCEP
- Quicksand feeling of memory foam isn't present
- Great for smaller beds
- Easily foldable and portable
- Not an impressive cover
- Quality of the foam isn't as impressive
9. Zinus Ultima Memory Foam Mattress
It's hard to beat the comfort of foam mattresses contouring around your body nicely and providing you with a feeling of warmth. A good night's sleep gets so much better when you have got one of those. Let's find out what we have in the bucket for you next.
The last (but certainly not the least) product we have is a fantastic mattress from Zinus. If you have done your research, you probably have heard their name already. Thousands of customers praise their green tea and charcoal-infused memory foam for trundle beds.
This infusion makes sure that the mattress stays fresh over time and does not give off any odor. The layer of well-ventilated foam that elevates it even further. It also helps with the issue of heat entrapment and enables you to sleep better.
CertiPUR certifies this mattress; so, you can be free of worries about the quality. They also use their own EcoFoam and BioFoam, which are exceptional in quality. These are free of any harmful or toxic materials and are friendlier to the environment.
On the lowest layer of this foam is a high-density base support foam. And on the top, we have high-quality memory foam. These layers ensure both softness and stability, especially for back sleepers. It's pretty good for side sleepers as well.
- Soft poly terry cover
- CertiPUR US certified
- Green tea and charcoal-infused foam
- Stays odor-free and fresh for a long time
- Great price-to-performance ratio
- Some users reported a slight smell
- Taking the cover off might release fiberglass
What to Look for Before Buying?
It can be intimidating to decide which mattress is the best for trundle beds, what with all the jargon. But if you keep the fundamentals in your mind before going ahead and buying yourself a mattress, you should be fine. Just make sure that you've got the measurements right.
Foam or Spring
As you've read above, the dilemma between whether to choose foam or spring mattresses is one that a lot of people face. If we try to divide them into a few mainstream categories, we've got foams, springs, and hybrids.
In regards to foams, you can find polyurethane, memory foam, or latex. Innersprings use springs. Some mattresses have a mix of both, and those are called hybrids. As innerspring mattresses are known to deteriorate slightly faster, hybrids try to tackle that with memory foam on top.
Although, to some people, memory foam feels too soft. They're also known to hold quite a bit of heat. Some foam mattresses use layers of gel to resolve this. So, choose your mattress depending on how firm they are, how they feel, and how long the materials last.
Here's another dilemma. You would want your mattress to last a long time, and it has to be dense to fulfill that wish. But as it becomes denser, it starts to sacrifice comfort. You need to find something that finds a middle ground between durability and comfort.
In this aspect, memory foams and hybrids are remarkable. They have the proper density to not feel too hard on you, but they're not too soft either. Besides, memory foam is less prone to being affected by allergens and dust mites. With this, their durability is improved further.

Sleeping Positions
How you sleep can have a lot of effect on how suitable a mattress is for you. For instance, in case you are a side sleeper, you put your body's weight on your hips and shoulders, mostly. Hence, medium-soft or medium-firm mattresses would be great for you. Too firm can make it painful, and also soft can make you feel like drowning.
In the case of back sleepers, too much softness can cause complications. They're better off with a medium-firm or firm mattress. Lastly, we have the stomach sleepers. They put more pressure on their lumbar spine. Thus, they would do better with a relatively firm mattress.

When is time to let go?
Everything comes to an end eventually.
Leaves part from the branches,
nights turn into days, and days strip their clothes for nights.
Breath enters and leaves the body born waiting to die?
But when does it end,
the crackling of wood burning in the fire,
the drop of sweat finding its way down one's back,
where does it stop?
I ask and hear no answers.
When does that end?
How do I know to let go,
how do I turn the other page,
how do I greet the day that will leave me for a dark night?
How do I write a poem and leave its echoes resonate for eternity?

"Composizione Oro e Legno : A story about light and richness. Experience the warmth when gold and wood come together."
Composizione Oro e Legno 1 appreciates the value of the century old Byzantian gold, presented in a modern way. It consists of 680 hand-sawn cubes of wood measuring 17x17x17 mm. Each cube has an angled top and holds a piece of gold mosaic ( gold leaf layer in between two layers of glass ) in different shades . Creating a unique interaction between all these materials and bringing them to life. The light falls on the Byzantian gold and reflects it into the room, thus creating a very special feel.
Composizione Oro e Legno 1 was selected for 'Musiwa"in Florence, Italy in 2018, for "Prix Picassiette ", Chartres, France and ZomerExpo 2019 in museum De Fundatie, Zwolle, The Netherlands.
It is my own design and part of the series of conceptual mosaics with almost unlimited possibilities.

Production at the Royal Enfield and Yamaha India plants has come to a standstill at Oragadam, Chennai. The strike commenced on Monday morning with members of Royal Enfield Employees union demanding a settlement of their charter of demands which also includes a wage increase.
R Sampat, Vice President, Working People Trade Union Council and of the Royal Enfield Employees Union has stated that all production has been stopped since Monday morning and both permanent and contractual workers are participating in the strike. The company had taken action against 120 employees who were on probation. They were banned from entering the plant while the company has also not addressed the issue of wage hike demanded by the Union.
Though a strike notice was issued to the company on August 13 and a meeting called by the Labor Department, company officials failed to attend the meeting, not once, but on three occasions leaving the employees with no other recourse than to go on strike. Now another conciliation meeting has been called on 26th September and it is yet to be seen if the management attends this meeting or not.
Yamaha Motors factory has around 2,500 contractual workers and apprentices while Dongsan Automotive India has 117 workers who are also protesting against nonpayment of wages for over 7 months. 140 workers of Myoung Shin Automotive are also on strike for recognition of their union while 3,000 workers of Eicher Motors Limited have been on strike from Monday onwards.
Sampat stated that the management was against the formation of a union which was formed last year. There has been no wage revision while bonuses were also not paid to the employees for the past three years.
Yamaha India has moved to court and gotten police protection as the strike intensifies. In its petition filed in the court, Yamaha India said, "ingress and aggress of vehicles and people from in and out of the factory premises and to further vacate the trespassing workmen by ensuring that no striking workers assemble illegally in any form within the radius of 200 metres from the petitioner's (Yamaha's) factory."

Everest 2002
Yes, the hype over Mt. Everest annoys many people. Why must some men and women risk their lives and endure several days of misery to get to the top? Why? Why? There are over a hundred unnamed mountains above 21,000 feet that no one has ever climbed. Yet climbers still head straight for Everest. Why is this? Could it be that this mountain is a symbol? Nothing in the world is bigger except the world itself. Mountains in general lure people. They are poetic. Thought, emotion, and meaning are vivid in the rock. Climbing leads to new vistas, new views, new realities one never knew existed before taking the next step, before peering over the next ridge. In about 300 BC Socrates reflected on what is called the Socratic Curve. Man climbs a mountain, slowly slowly, until he finally reaches the top. Here he rejoices in his accomplishment — yet only to discover from his perch that there are several more mountains to climb on the other side. While trekking in Nepal I philosophize my way along the trail and through the villages. My mind is in full swing, my body is working, sweating, breathing, alive. My emotions are sharp, abrupt, distinct. I am in the present, surrounded by the moment, at my very best! If I could share this feeling, I would and I can and I do. I invite you to come with me to Nepal next spring. You will see.
I was telling a friend about all the amazing things that have happened since I started my little company two years ago. I was explaining that my next trip to Nepal will be as part of an expedition on Everest (just to base camp for me). I told my friend about the climber, Sean Swarner, who plans to summit Everest in the spring 2002 with the help of Of Global Interest LLC. My friend said, "If he's not blind or missing legs no one will pay attention." Though he was joking, I was able to respond: "Well, as a matter of fact, he has survived two rare forms of cancer, he's had Hodgkin's disease and an Askin's tumor. He was given two weeks to live once and three months another time. He is 26 years old, has been in remission for eight years and is training in Colorado as we speak." Then I said, "He is determined to be the first cancer patient survivor to climb Mt. Everest and is dedicated to helping and inspiring cancer patients to do great things." Sean told me, "I want to change the attitude toward cancer. It's about adventure and adrenaline!"
An expedition is expensive. The government of Nepal charges the group about $70,000 for a permit. For one climbing team about 250 porters (equivalent to 125 Yak) are needed to carry all the tents, gear, rope and food for two months — kerosene, camping stoves, pots and pans, oxygen bottles, toilet tents, everything — a major undertaking. All the equipment must be new, only the best. Climbers must hire the MOST experienced climbing guides, usually Sherpas, the local people of the region who were born at high altitudes and have amazing lungs and skill in this terrain. This elite group of guides have been to the summit of Everest maybe seven or eight times. They are super human in my eyes. All in all, the price tag is big. The book, INTO THIN AIR, and others written about Everest, question which climbers should be on the mountain at all. Eric Weihenmayer, the blind climber who summited last spring was criticized by others. "A blind man should not be on the mountain," they said. "He puts other people in danger." Eric responds, "Who are they to say? Perhaps this is a decision best left for the mountain gods." (Outside Magazine, Dec. 2001, p.131) Anyway, at some point, everything is controversial. Is Everest the ultimate challenge for only a select few? It is, no doubt, risky. Those involved assume the risk. Only about 50% who try, actually reach the top. No one ever hears about the climbers who turn around and go home, nor do we hear about the climbers who get to the top of Peak 5886, a mountain like many others with a number for a name. On whichever side of the mountain you stand, the fact remains, so well expressed by George Mallory in the 1930s, people climb Everest "because it's there." Sean has been working hard. He applied for funding from the Keep Walking Fund, an affiliate of Johnnie Walker Whiskey. The fund was established to help entrepreneurs start socially oriented businesses that help people. Sean fits the profile well. His nonprofit CancerClimber Association is devoted to helping and inspiring cancer patients, funding research and ultimately finding a cure. And a bonus for Johnnie Walker: It is a tradition to drink a shot of whiskey when one reaches the summit of any mountain! A few months ago Sean wrote saying he was one of twelve finalists (!) for the $500,000 that the Fund was giving away. A few weeks after that, he wrote again to say that Johnnie Walker was flying him to New York City on September 9. It was an all-expense-paid trip for each of the finalists. Sean explained that on September 11 there would be a gathering at the headquarters in Manhattan where each of the finalists would give a five minute presentation in front of the board of directors. That evening — the winners would be announced. I woke up on September 11 thinking, "Tonight I will know if Sean has the money." I proceeded to put on my wogging (walking and jogging) shoes and headed out for a trek through the neighborhood. As I came past the garage where a car mechanic works, I expected to hear the usual heavy metal music blaring on the radio. The music was not blaring that day as I came down the sidewalk. Instead, as I neared the big garage doors, I heard the rock and roll radio announcer's voice. I heard panic: "The Pentagon is on fire!" I stopped in my tracks. The mechanic in his green suit was nowhere to be seen. There was NO traffic in the street. The world was mysteriously beautiful, very sunny and all too quiet. Not even one bird chirped. I hightailed it, dashing into a mad sprint — all the way home. I wished I could go faster! Faster! At home I turned on the TV. And you know the rest of the story. So Sean was somewhere in Manhattan. It was his big day. Where was Johnnie Walker's headquarters? I scanned the internet hoping he would write. Finally I couldn't wait any longer so I e-mailed his mom. Sean was okay. He was in his hotel on Park Avenue when the world changed. Needless to say, the big event scheduled for the finalists was canceled. Sean was soon back in Colorado where he continues to train, climbing every mountain in his path. Now the twelve finalists each had to create a five minute video to send to New York. Thus, Sean had to wait. A month went by. Then another. Just two weeks ago I was in New York City for the NYC marathon. My father ran it for the 17th year in a row (!) and I cheered him on. The streets uptown were their usual busy selves. Everyone came out to high-five the runners. It was a beautiful day. The day before, my father and I took the subway to Ground Zero. As we came out of the tunnel, I immediately noticed a stillness in those city streets. There was definite sadness in the breeze. The fire was still burning, and the smell of burning rubber filled my lungs when the wind blew just right. We knew we were close. It was another beautiful afternoon, and my father and I walked clear around where the Twin Towers used to stand. I have been to that neighborhood before when the towers were an undeniable landmark. Now there was a big hole. I thought there would be a pile but it was a sixteen acre crater. Two months later and the trucks were still leaving the site, around the clock, every five minutes, 24 hours a day. Each 18 wheeler was full to the max with more and more debris. The workers were amazing. They were working hard. They were taking care of business. Fences and construction zones kept us about a block from the scene all the way around. But down each street was a different view of the mess. The buildings next to where the towers stood were missing windows. One was shredded and exposed beams hung out over the street. The shops we passed had hand-painted posters in the windows that said, "Welcome Back!" and "We're Open!" Others had signs that said, "Coming soon. We'll be back!" Every fence that kept us from the site was covered with posters, letters, notes, messages, American flags, signatures, letters from around the world. It made me cry. I wasn't the only one who was feeling bad. Everyone felt it – equally.
On the west side of the disaster men wore hazmat suits. They were cleaning out a building that faced the explosion. They unloaded computers from a laundry bin on wheels into a truck full of hundreds more. The next truck was overflowing with office furniture. Business would continue elsewhere. Along a stone wall near Battery Park, hundreds – no thousands of teddy bears were stacked with photos of the missing. There were poems, letters, notes. We passed the area where the workers were eating lunch. It was warm outside. The outdoor tables and loud music made me think of the Ann Arbor Art Fair. I saw a few smiles here. The workers chatted over bowls of chili. I was glad I went to Ground Zero. After completely circling the horror, I came away with a feeling of peace. The mess, the problem was being taken care of. The nation was in good hands. I felt an amazing strength from those workers. Life goes on. The panic situation replayed on TV a million times was now finally put to rest in my mind. The people I saw had control of the situation now. Everything would be okay. The wound would heal. Then just a week ago Sean wrote: "Johnnie Walker awarded me the money! Not what I asked for, but it's a start and it's a good one at that!" Hooray!! Sean and I, and YOU maybe, are on our way to Nepal next spring for an adventure of a lifetime. Sean says the recent events make him even more determined. I have no doubt he will climb Everest, he will come home and he will do great things for people with cancer. He is ready to go. Sean will be a member of an expedition that is already being organized in Nepal. The man leading this team, Wongchu Sherpa, was the lead Sherpa for David Breashear's IMAX expedition in 1996 and the lead Sherpa for Göran Kropp, the Swedish man who rode his bike from Sweden to Nepal, climbed Everest and rode home. Sean will be in good hands. Cabela's, the outdoor outfitting chain (one of which is located just off US 23 in Dundee, Michigan) is sponsoring Sean for this climb. Sean said, "It's like Christmas. I have two huge down jackets in the closet and one full-body down suit for summit day!" Sean is climbing and YOU could be cheering him on and trekking to base camp with him. I am organizing two Support Team Treks for this expedition. The first group will trek to base camp with the climbers, stay a few nights and trek back to Kathmandu. The second group will trek to base camp, stay a few nights, hopefully at the same time Sean summits, and will trek back to Kathmandu with the climbers. Each trip means about 27-28 days away from work – but imagine the stories you'll tell. Note: It is hard to coordinate with an expedition. The climbers will be on their own schedule. Their estimated summit date is May 10, 2002. However, they will have roughly 20 days to choose from. Everything must be exactly perfect for success. The weather, the health and strength of the climbers, acclimatization must be just right.
Here are the dates: Support Trek One leaves the US March 19, 2002, and returns April 15. Support Trek Two leaves the US on April 24 and returns May 20. The climbers will spend up to 72 days and thousands of dollars. For trekkers, $2,300 is a deal! To learn more about Sean, his climb, the Summit List, and his nonprofit association visit www.cancerclimber.org . To learn more about Mt. Everest visit www.mnteverest.net.

The Commission
A Pangdemonium, Singapore Repertory Theatre and Wild Rice Co-Production commissioned by Singapore International Festival of Arts 2021
A sharp satire on theatre-making in a pandemic and an irreverent look at the unlikely collaboration of three wildly different Singaporean artistic directors, The Commission is the entertaining live sequel to the circuit-breaking short film, The Pitch.
They're back. And this time, it's personal.
When Singapore Repertory Theatre's Gaurav Kripalani, Wild Rice's Ivan Heng, and Pangdemonium's Adrian Pang collaborated for the first time on the short film The Pitch, it seemed like just a (virtual) stage they were going through.
Little did they know that the theatre gods were plotting to take this motley ménage à trois and elevate it to another dimension.
This time, the fearsome threesome is thrown together again to create an exclusive piece of live theatre for these strange times. But what kind of production should it be? With uber-producer Gaurav's credentials, should it be more SRT-ish? With Ivan's director's vision, should it be a Wild Rice fab fest? Or, with Adrian's thespian tendencies, should it be more Pangdemonium-esque? Or should it be a hybrid – a Singapore Ricepertory Pangdewildium production…?
A play about a play within a play, and all the shenanigans that come into play in the making of the play, The Commission pulls back the curtain to reveal the human beings behind the producer, the director and the actor.
A hysterical and historical jaunt through the respective and collective journeys of three very different individuals who have dedicated their lives to the theatre, The Commission is LIVE. In the flesh. And everything you loved about The Pitch, raised to fever pitch!

In order to make a 2D weapon attack more immerse, a slash shader might come in pretty handy. The used weapon image can be found on itch.io; and the haze has been made in Aseprite within 10 seconds. Feel free to use it as well within your project.
Spoiler alert: If you aren't interested in shader development or you simply wanting to use this effect straight away, feel free to skip the tutorial and download the visual shader straight away.
Project Setup
Our hierarchy exists of two nodes: The weapon sprite itself, and the slash effect. Assign to each sprite its corresponding 2D texture. (Sample textures available above)
Pre-Configure the slash till it fits your needs. (Rotation, Transform, Scalation,..) Ensure to check "Show behind Parent" to avoid an overlapping slash texture. Create a new ShaderMaterial and assign a new "Visual Shader". In this tutorial we call it "Slash_demo".
Click on the Slash_demo.tres to open up the visual shader editor.
Visual Shader
As a step by step, drag n' drop, screenshot by screenshot tutorial wouldn't make much sense, we will consider several building blocks and explain the details.
Noise Texture + Gradient Texture
Add a Noise Texture and a Gradient Texture. (Right click -> Textures -> Functions -> Texture. Select the [empty] combobox and select the corresponding texture type) By left clicking the noise and gradient texture (See image below) the pre-configured texture's parameters are adjustable.
Within the Noise Texture's parameters, create a new OpenSimplexNoise. Parameters (such as Seed, Octaves, Period,…) aren't important yet, as the result won't be visible within the GoDot editor yet.
Combining the Noise and Gradient Texture
This first building block combines the Noise and the Gradient Texture into one alpha value.
Noise Texture: Delivers a value between [0…1], which we will use as our alpha value
Gradient Texture: Delivers also a value between [0…1], which we will use to fade out the noise texture
Some sub-building blocks have been highlighted by numbers, as they might need more explanation.
- A Uniform represents a variable we can set via code. By multiplying a vector3 (Disolve) with the noise's rgb output, we are able to control each individual UV's transparency. Hence, it is controllable via script/animation on "how much" of the noise texture we want to render.
2. This sub-building block overlays the noise and gradient texture
3. This sub-building block takes our slash texture (configured in Project Setup) and multiplies the UV's rgb value with the combined noise+gradient texture. Or simply spoken, alpha pixels within our slash image won't be overwritten by the combined noise+gradient texture.
4. The final Color origins from an external parameter. Thus, we are able to define individual slash colors.
At this point the shader is complete and ready for use. Go back to the gradient and noise texture parameters and play with the values, as long as you aren't satisfied.
Apply additional parameters
Simple is boring, so we could add some more parameters to the equation. Such as: rotation and an offset. UV rotation is achievable by following shader code:
vec2 rotateUV(vec2 uv, float rot, vec2 mid)
return vec2(
cos(rot) * (uv.x - mid.x) + sin(rot) * (uv.y - mid.y) + mid.x,
cos(rot) * (uv.y - mid.y) - sin(rot) * (uv.x - mid.x) + mid.y
Soooo, how does this simple function look like within a visual shader you might ask? Here is the answer:
Shader usage
Once you did finish the tutorial (with or without the rotation thingy) don't forget to hit save, as the GoDot Editor won't store your temp visual shader on your HDD, as long as you didn't hit that button.
To animate your slash shader, several options are available. The AnimationPlayer is capable of manipulating properties of nodes (including shader parameters) and therefore perfectly applicable for your needs. If you require further explanations on how to set up an AnimationPlayer, check out this video. (Made by GDQuest) Another options comprises manual coding. You can set shader parameters also within the code. The tween functionality might come in handy in this case.

Typically, Nicole Richie loves everything her hairstylist, Gregory Russell, does—and so do we. He transforms her hair into a masterpiece time and time again, and although she's had every hair color of the rainbow (quite literally), Russell is still able to make her mane look healthy for every appearance.
But unfortunately, he's spoiled her to the point of a complete temper tantrum—and it's not because of his style skills. This time, it's because of the products. Russell had access to Ouai Haircare (hairstylist Jen Atkin's new line) before its release, and then (gasp!) didn't use it on Richie. And well, all diva hell broke lose. Watch the funny clip:
Of course, we fully expect the line will cause more tantrums in the future. Atkin, who is the go-to hair guru for the Kardashians, knows her way around a hair brush, and for that matter, a bottle of product. She's been working to develop the line for the last few years, with help and input from her famous clientele. The line, which is set to launch on February 1, will include 21 products from dry shampoo to a hair treatment mask. If you want "cool girl" hair, you'll want these products, trust us.

Love Note #4-Pregnancy LossJan 28, 2022
With much respect, may I see a show of hands?
I know I can't see you, but will you raise your hand if you've experienced a pregnancy loss? Ok. So, your hand may be raised, but it may not. Now, if not you personally, has someone close to you experienced a loss? Your hand definitely should be raised now. One in four pregnancies end in loss. If you don't know someone personally who's experienced this, it's because they haven't shared it with you. The truth is too often hidden. Too many of us suffer in silence.
It's Infant Loss Awareness Month.
This is the month we acknowledge the miscarriages, stillbirths and other losses that touch our lives. Whether it's our own personal biological loss, or the hopes we've shared with our sisters, friends, cousins, that weren't realized the way we imagined…we've all been touched by loss.
There's not much space in the public eye for loss support, but one of the people who's changing this is Dr. Jessica Zucker. I encourage you to check out what she's doing on Instagram @ihadamiscarriage. She has created a safe space for women to submit their miscarriage stories in order to help break the stigma surrounding loss, and so that other women don't feel so helpless. Not on IG? You can check out an article on her work here: https://www.self.com/story/jessica-zucker-miscarriage-instagram or read her book, I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, a Movement.
I have personally walked closely alongside clients who experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, and late-term loss. They have been experiences that have shaped me into a better therapist, and a more compassionate human being. I am constantly in awe of the power of all birthing people, and the resiliency we are capable of in the full spectrum of outcomes in pregnancy.
How can we create a healthier cultural dynamic on this topic?
Maybe we can start by asking:
-What kind of support can you provide to a loved one after a loss?
-What kind of support could you request from those who love you after your own loss?
The answers can vary as much as individuals do, but here are a couple of ideas:
-Sitting with someone in their pain and following their lead. Talking or not talking can be ok.
-Gifting them a journal to write down their feelings.
-Planting a tree or whole garden in honor of the baby.
-Taking flowers to the ocean and letting them go in the water.
-Finding an in-person or online support group of others who understand.
I'm always looking for ways to be of better service to you. We don't yet have bereavement massage on our website, but Postpartum Massage is just as applicable to those who have experienced a loss, as any other postpartum person. If you or someone you love need some support, postpartum massage may help in your healing after a loss. Just let us know that you've experienced a loss, and we will tailor the massage to match your needs with a high level of sensitivity. Listen to your body. It may do you good to be able to reconnect with your body when perhaps you feel like it may have betrayed you, and feel nurtured through therapeutic touch as you heal.
We're here for you if you need us.
With love,
Available on our site.
We offer discounted massage packages, including Birth Prep and Postpartum packages as well as Gift Certificates.

Yesterday, following a fairly long (but mostly hassle-free) trip from my home in South London to the sunny seaside town of Paignton, I woke up early to start my internship training. The town, as per its namesake, is home to the Paignton Zoo & Environmental park as well as the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust. Established in 1959, the Trust operates in locations all over the UK, working for both domestic and international conservation goals. My two days of training was incredibly hectic and involved meeting a lot of new people alongside being told about a myriad of different aspects to the research project I will be joining in on.
To sum up what I'll be doing as simply as I can:
The project I'm working on was established around a year ago and aims to investigate the possible effects of two different probiotics on the general wellbeing of a number of primate species held at the zoo. The question being answered is essentially as follows: can the known health benefits of these microorganisms in humans also be identified for other types of non-human primates (NHPs)? In the event that positive results are found, future breeding/ conservations programmes could begin to confidently incorporate probiotics into the set diets of captive NHPs in order to improve their general wellbeing as well as simply survivorship. The specific aspect of this project I will be taking over will involve making up and weighing different feeds for ten species of primates each morning. Then, at the start of the next day, I will collect leftover food to calculate how much has been eaten before completing faecal scoring to analyse their general health. This will be partnered with extended periods of behavioural observations using ethograms to hopefully make conclusions about if these probiotics could affect the activity of these primates in any meaningful way. Positive results obtained here will revolve around increased levels of activity and feeding behaviours promoted by the presence of these probiotics.
As complex – and ever-so-slightly overwhelming – as the first two days of training were, I'm very excited to keep getting more and more involved in the project and possibly even get started on some more independent work during downtimes. In addition to research I'm hoping to use the fantastic amount of access I'll have to these animals to practice some photography and video skills when possible.
As for the near future (later this week), I will be conducting some inter-rater reliability testing. Essentially, I will sit in for long observation periods alongside the project leader and see if our behavioural scoring systems are statistically similar. This should be a good way for me to practice my observational skills under supervision whilst simultaneously completing some important scientific work which will help in the final stages of the study (since these tests can allow conclusions to be made on the accuracy of results collected during observations).
Fingers crossed the sun stays out until the weekend!

Guns-on-campus bill moves toward governor
NASHVILLE — The House voted 69-17 Monday night to block the state's public colleges and universities from taking any adverse or disciplinary action against a student or employee with a handgun-carry permit for keeping their gun in their vehicles on campus.
The Senate approved the bill last week but the House added a relatively minor amendment that requires it to return to the Senate for what will likely be final approval. The amendment says the postsecondary institution cannot take any adverse or disciplinary action against an employee or student of the institution with a permit "solely" for keeping the gun in their car.
The Senate approved the original bill 29-0 last week and is expected to concur with the House amendment and send the bill to the governor. To comply with the law, permit holders who are employees or students must keep the gun out of sight and in either a locked glove compartment or lock box, in their locked vehicles while parked. It does not allow them to go armed outside their vehicle.

What is the best method for maintaining balanced skin?
Answer: The ideal method for maintaining balanced skin is keeping a consistent skin care routine and avoiding harsh chemicals that can strip the skin and create more blemishes. Additionally, a diet rich in water, fresh fruits and vegetables and low in preservatives is also important.
What is the proper order in which to apply skincare?
Answer: Ideally skincare should be applied to a clean canvas - i.e. make sure your skin is free of makeup and other things that layer on the skin. I personally use skin care products right after the shower (once I have cooled down) or before bed after washing my face. This way the absorption is ideal and helps penetrate deep into skin layers.
What are the main ingredients every 20-something should make sure are present in their skincare routine?
Answer: Sunscreen and moisturizer, vitamin C and E extract. Try Belli Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator for daily and night use on your face.
Is Belli just as effective if you are 20, 30 or 40 and up?
Answer: Absolutely! Belli Skincare is specially formulated to work with you as your skin is changing and therefore addresses a variety of concerns because of the potent actives and clean formulations in the integrity of the ingredients.
How often should we exfoliate our skin? What is the best way to do it?
Answer: Exfoliation is ideal 1-3x/week max. I do recommend Belli Fresh Start Pre-Treatment Scrub, make sure you adhere to the recommended weekly use, because it can actually cause more breakouts and damage your skin if you over do it. You want to exfoliate but not strip the skin of necessary balance.
Is it important to moisturize the entire body?
What are the benefits of caring for your skin on a long term level?
What are the top things to consider when choosing a skincare line to use?
Can a skincare really be for all skin types?
What tips do you have for women dealing with adult eczema and acne?
Answer: Consistent moisturizing with a mild cream is extremely helpful. By moisturizing the skin frequently and consistently the rough patches of eczema and congested pores that can occur with acne are usually eliminated. Additionally, this helps balance skin's pH and reduces dryness.
Biggest acne myth?
If you're very acne prone, how should you treat your skin without completely drying out (especially in the winter)?
Should I be treating various types of acne, differently?
What is the best way to minimize acne scarring?
Answer: Do not pop acne blemishes. This causes trauma to the skin and creates scarring.

Opening up the second portion of the 2 in 1 mega PPV event were a couple of Super-Bantamweights who put forth a competitive contest. Former unified titlist Danny "Baby Faced Assassin" Roman (28-3-1, 10KO) surfaced victorious on the scorecards, though Juan Carlos Payano (21-4-0, 9KO) boxed well enough to make the official verdict a debatable one all-around.
Moving up from Bantamweight, Payano had no problems dealing with the extra weight, and looked sharp early, despite whispers that the 36 year old Dominican fighter was slowing down. Roman at the onset looked sluggish, and found himself in a fight that was closer than expected. The southpaw Payano early proved to be cagey once again, using his experience to offset Roman's offense. Payano also appeared to have a speed advantage over Roman despite the age difference.
Though early Payano had the edge, Roman was putting money in the bank by targeting and hitting the body in combinations throughout the first portion of the fight. Up top though, Roman was having difficulty pulling the trigger due to Payano's shifty footwork. Though you can see Payano is not quite 🥉🇺🇿Murodjon "MJ" Akhmadaliev (who conquered Roman in their previous fight), if you squinted your eyes, you could see the similarity within their gameplans with the skills used to take advantage of Roman's flat footed stance.
The 🌊tide started to shift in the Mexican-American's favor by the 7th round, getting a better beat on Payano's timing after getting familiar with his movement, and they produced the most action packed round of the fight. The 9th round was where Payano started to feel the pressure that Roman was pushing on him, stalking, mauling on the ropes, and landing looping shots over the top. The scorecards on our end tightened up at the end of the 10th.
Roman in the final round came out aggressively, and Payano fought fire with fire. As the 10 second clapper sounded, it felt like we'd get to the end without any knockdowns, but a half second before the 🛎final bell sounded, Roman landed a massive left hook that put Payano down, but Referee 🕴Johnny Callas missed the call horribly by not counting it as a knock down, treating it as if it came after the bell, but Payano got up.
With the fight now in the books, Daniel Roman came out victorious, being awarded a 📝Unanimous Decision victory to bounce back in the win column. Payano boxed well, but fell a little short, and dropped his second fight in a row, and also 3 of the last 4 bouts he fought – that being attributed to fighting the best of the best in his weight classes. Where Payano goes from here? we will have to see. As for Roman, he positioned himself here towards getting other notable fights, and he looks for ways to creep back into the title picture.
✎ Kevin Morgan = 116 – 112 for DANIEL ROMAN
✎ David Sutherland = 116 – 112 for DANIEL ROMAN
✎ Don Trella = 116 – 112 for DANIEL ROMAN
