![]() ![]() His best friend's mother is dead, and Simon has been the instrument of her death. There is one moment that does properly represent both Simon Birch's awful pain and his recognition of what he must now do to assuage this pain. Simon Birch only occasionally does justice to the novel's claim that the dwarf-sized Simon has a clear vision of God's purposes and of his role in that purpose. The film leaves out Irving's rich depiction of clergy who don't believe in God and who don't know what to do with a young boy who not only does believe in God but knows he is on a mission from God. ![]() The theology of the book is also truncated. The story is drastically compressed and given a new ending. Irving did not allow Johnson to use the names of any of his characters, hence Owen Meany becomes Simon Birch and Owen's best friend, John, the narrator of the story, becomes Joe. The text for this first-ever column in its new location is taken from the first chapter of John Irving's novel A Prayer for Owen Meany: "I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice-not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in God I am a Christian because of Owen Meany." Not every one of these biweekly columns will begin with a text, but it is appropriate in this case, because I am just back from my annual trek to the Montreal World Film Festival where a film version of Irving's novel, titled Simon Birch, premiered to cheers from the audience for director Mark Stephen Johnson and the young star, 11-year-old Ian Michael Smith.

![]() This case report describes the experiences of four people who developed COVID arm 7–10 days after receiving the first dose of the Moderna vaccine. Known as “ COVID arm,” the rash can appear several days after the vaccination. There have also been reports of people experiencing a red, itchy, swollen, or painful rash at the injection site. This study notes that after the second dose, 82% of Moderna vaccine recipients reported injection site reactions, compared with 69% of Pfizer vaccine recipients. People who have had other authorized COVID-19 vaccines have also reported these side effects.Īmong recipients of mRNA vaccines, however, there have been more frequent reports of side effects from people who have had the Moderna vaccine. swelling of armpit lymph nodes, specifically (19.8%).Recipients also reported the following injection site reactions: The clinical trials found that side effects were more commonly reported after the second dose and lasted around 2–3 days.

I think people will be a little less uncomfortable knowing these things can occur.”įor Whitworth, it’s more than personal. “I think hallucinations are kind of important. Michael Whitworth plans on reporting his side effects to the VAERS database. “You have to take these not with a grain of salt, but in many ways, they require way more investigation to verify the information and make sure that it is truly tied to the vaccine.” We just know they happen after a person was vaccinated,” explained Salemi when we asked what the public should take away from reports logged with the government database. “We don’t say these adverse events are specifically tied to this vaccine. Gregory was described as healthy before he died a few weeks after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The youngest, 56-year old South Florida doctor, Dr. Six Florida deaths were also reported to the database. Reports about females who received the vaccine were filed more than three times that of males. ![]() In the four-weeks we analyzed, the most common side effects included chills, fatigue and dizziness. Salemi added that the reports logged into the database are not verified, voluntary, and submitted by anyone. The idea is if on a population level we keep seeing the same adverse event that we wouldn’t expect over and over and over again, it should prompt scientists to dive deeper into that.” “You shouldn’t look at this database, and if you see 300 instances of adverse incidents, I wouldn’t get worried. “It’s an early warning system,” explained University of South Florida Associate Professor Dr. 04% of people who received at least one dose of the vaccine in Florida. Out of 850,000 doses administered by mid-January, the number of adverse events filed represented less than.

Co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. What Whitworth describes is extremely rare according to the VAERS adverse reporting database. “This was very, very off because I never hallucinated in my life, so I felt like I had been given an injection of mushrooms or something,” he said. Two hours after the shot, Whitworth said the pain and soreness in his arm became so severe, “I couldn’t really move at all.”īy hour 10, Whitworth said he had a low-grade fever, shaking, chills, his lips became pale and he started hallucinating. “The second dose was a completely different story,” he explained. So when it was time for his second dose recently, he didn’t expect to feel much.

![]() ![]() There was no school for girls in the rural town of Meerwala in Pakistan, so Mukhtar Mai did what all the peasant women in such villages were expected to do: house work. We’re so thankful for your dedication to our organization because of you this trek is made possible. On behalf of Mizzou’s Circle of Sisterhood and PHA we wish you all a safe and empowering journey to Nicaragua. I am looking forward to the cultural exchange we will have with the people of Elena Maria, Nicaragua. While I believe we can provide resources for this community and their system of education, I also think they have a lot to teach us. I care very deeply about Circle of Sisterhood’s cause to educate and empower young women in the developing world. I’m most excited about meeting the kids in the community and learning about their culture.ĭegree: Strategic Communication, Bachelor of Journalism I have been very fortunate with the education and opportunities I have received and I want to help other girls in countries that don’t value education for girls. Not only do I want to travel and see another country, but I believe it is critical, that every individual, no matter age, gender, or cultural background, deserves an equal right to an education, and I want to be apart of something that makes that happen! This trek is extremely important to me and I am beyond excited for this opportunity. Major: Human Development and Family Studies Although our mission is to change their lives by promoting education, I really think they will make all of us so much better people as well! As crazy as it sounds, I’m so excited to go for a week without power, without normal meals, and without my every day lifestyle that I seem to take advantage of. I chose to apply for this trek because I want to help change others’ lives. I’ve been so fortunate with my education that it would seem selfish not to take this opportunity to uplift others! I cannot wait to meet all the women in the community! ![]() I chose to go on this trek because I wanted to change the lives of young girls in Nicaragua. This is a chance to make an impact on a young girls life, and I am honored to be able to be part of something so amazing. ![]() I chose to go on the trek because I want girls in Nicaragua to be fulfilled and enlightened by their education and all of the opportunities it presents. I’m most excited to practice my Spanish and learn about the culture. I chose to go on the trek because international affairs have always been a passion of mine, and I love being involved in my sorority and PHA’s Circle of Sisterhood. I am also excited to be able to use my Spanish and learn about the culture of Nicaragua. I have been blessed to receive an education here at Mizzou and hope to help others find their inspiration just as I have found mine. These girls in Nicaragua will now have a school where they can receive an education and grow. I chose to go because I believe it is important that every girl has the opportunity to be their best selves. I cannot wait to meet the children, as well. I am looking forward to meeting my host family. I am going on the trek because I wanted to experience a different culture. I look forward to all the immeasurable smiles and love to be spread, while making unforgettable memories with the community of Nicaragua and the incredible members of Mizzou Circle of Sisterhood. It is such an honor to be a part of this extraordinary change that gives hope to a community in Nicaragua. Opening this school in Nicaragua will supply so many amazing opportunities for a brighter future. As an Elementary Education major, I realize how valuable an education is worth. We look forward to telling you all about our experience in Nicaragua, but for now we would like to introduce the women who will be trekking to Elena Maria.Ĭircle of Sisterhood provides an amazing experience that allows Mizzou women to fight for women’s education and show love to uplift girls’ confidence. Mizzou’s Circle of Sisterhood has been working hard to pull the trek together, and we couldn’t be more gratified to go on this journey. We’re leaving this Saturday, Jto build a school for girls in Elena Maria, Nicaragua. What will come of this update? Who knows? That’s the beauty of opening up APIs to all developers. I’m sure the enterprise use cases have some even greater and more compelling additions to their workflow. That’s one use case I would find amazing to see built into my DJI RC or in the Autel Sky App. It could even handle automatically applying to fly in other zones as you move toward their boundaries and control your max altitude to make sure you stay in compliance. You’ll just have to input your license if you have one. The app will already know your drone information and who owns it. So instead of heading out to a location, using your phone to check the airspace, and handling LAANC approval, it can all be done through the drone provider’s app. While those that work on teams operate well with third-party apps, the recreational ones of us kind of want everything to be as mainstream as possible. Let me put my developer hat back on for a second and sit back to imagine what is possible with a LAANC API open for all developers. Jon Hegranes, CEO & Founder of Aloft The possibility of these new Aloft products ![]() ![]() By providing developers with the tools to integrate seamlessly with the Aloft platform, we are enhancing the safety, compliance, and efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS). The aviation landscape is evolving rapidly, and unmanned aircraft systems are a fundamental part of that change. Today, we are not just announcing new tools we’re unveiling the future of programmatic aviation. However, these are just the tip of the iceberg of the products Aloft offers, and now developers will have access to its APIs. While you might recognize its two biggest products, the FAA’s B4UFLY app and its own Air Control app, both of these allow you to plan flights around controlled airspace, with Air Control giving you tools to plan our operations in more detail and apply for an airspace authorization. Whether you’re a single drone operator or work on a team of pilots, Aloft has tools to help keep you safe, organized, and prepared for your flights. Today it announced an expansion of what it already provides.Īloft announced today that it has opened up developer APIs of its world-class drone management and operations tools like LAANC and fleet management. However, it has become the leading LAANC provider, as well as offering a plethora of other solutions for drone and fleet management. If you don’t know who Aloft is, you’re either new to the drone world or maybe have some crazy unique drone use case. ![]() They should be prepared by an independent accountant with oversight from an audit committee.

It’s just a tepid “Check it out, imma just doin’ my thang with this hot chick!” boast that sounds more like it’s coming out of the mouth of a sexually frustrated outcast who lies about his sex life. But “Burnin’ It Down” fails to convey any real release as a slower song. If a slower song is able to pluck heartstrings either by means of conjuring nostalgia, touching on universal grief, triumph of the human spirit, speaking directly of a personal experience like losing a mother or grandfather, or even a love song for fans………it can vastly hold its own and often stand out as the most memorable moments in shows. It’s too slow, but just because a song is slow doesn’t mean it can’t work in a live setting. “Burnin’ It Down” just doesn’t strike me as that type of song I can envision hearing when Aldean hypothetically makes a “Greatest Hits” tour run fifteen years from now. I can’t see this enjoying much staying power in his live show setlist in relation to his other commercial hits. Trust me: sober sex as opposed to “altered” sex is much more pleasurable. A glass of wine or one beer wouldn’t hurt, but mixing hard alcohol with intimacy is often a recipe for disaster if the goal is to enjoy consensual intimacy. Then, yet again, we face the idea that you have to get liquored up to enjoy sex. The way he says: “Let’s hit the lights and let our shadows dance, and light it up like it’s our last chance!” sounds more like a funeral procession than organic ecstasy. The way he mumbles: “You’re stirrin’ up dirty, in the back of my mind…” sounds more like he’s tearing in his Old Milwaukee at Tai’s Til 4 than feeling aroused. This sounds more like a fatally misfired attempt to pen a melancholic soliloquy for the twenty-first century than something that would make you want to dance between the sheets to. To me, what’s most off-putting about this is the same factor behind his lead singles in general: his overt self-serious delivery. Therefore, it’s unimpeachably country, damn it! ) When I first head this, I got the impression Aldean also sought out Joey Moi for at least this cut in that it sounds reminiscent of Florida-Georgia Line’s own “Dayum, Baby”.īut, lo and behold: it name-drops BOTH Jack Daniels and “Old Alabama”. Httpv://I was surprised to find that Aldean’s longtime producer, Michael Knox, produced this. I think I’ll pull out some wholesome Conway Twitty to cleanse my mind now! With that, it’s no surprise that Florida Georgia Line is connected to this smoldering piece of dreck. What’s more, I know that readers will tell me that I shouldn’t have been surprised at this point, but it’s been so long since I’ve turned to a mainstream country radio station that I was still dumbfounded by how decidedly non-country this song sounds, especially the intro! It’s something that would fit perfectly on a pop station and might even sound good there, but it’s way too low rent in the context of country music. “Burnin’ it Down” crosses the line to the latter categories on all accounts. And there’s a line between a classy, passionate love song and a classless, passionless sex filled song. There’s a line between a sexy song and a sex filled song. There’s a line between a passionate love song and a passionless song. Instead, the song is high octane graphic with no sense of real intimacy and nothing left up to the imagination. But their songs maintained a respect for the intimacy, which Jason Aldean’s “Burnin” it Down” grossly fails to do. Conway Twitty, Alabama, Charlie Rich, even Alan Jackson ,as well as many others, haven’t shied away from memorably singing about sexual intimacy. It covers the topical gambit of love, drinking, cheating, murder and, yes, even passion.
