Louisiana Department of Health says it will no longer promote mass vaccination
The Louisiana Department of Health will no longer promote mass vaccination, the states surgeon general, Dr. Ralph Abraham, told state health workers Thursday.
The State of Louisiana and LDH have historically promoted vaccines for vaccine preventable illnesses through our parish health units, community health fairs, partnerships and media campaigns, Abraham wrote in a memo addressed to LDH Team Members and obtained by CNN. While we encourage each patient to discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with their provider, LDH will no longer promote mass vaccination.

Rottenburg am Taube
From a while back.
Cute little town that still has the original wall.
Getting some deliveries today/tomorrow
One thing I miss is having some larger stores which carry a greater variety.
This doesn't bother the Germans here because they aren't looking for the things that I am.
I will be getting 6 large cans of tomatillos.
Some Lyles Golden syrup. (Instead of honey)
Molasses. I could have gotten Grandma's but it is 2X more than some German brand.
3 different locations, none Amazon, will all be delivered at once.
One thing that frustrates me is buying sugar around here. US brown sugar is very hard to get and when available pricey. There is a British equivalent that my fav local store carried but no longer does. Now I order on line. My wife has fructose issues and most fo teh normal granulated is beet sugar. Sometimes it is a low fructose yield, other times not. She doesn't like being the fructose testing equipment. Now I get cane sugar from the BIO store. It is called Rohrohr Zucker. I mention it because the translation is Pipe ear sugar.
Glad I could skip Amazon for the purchases.
Early style advertizing, Rottenburg am Taube
This is a nice town. It is one of the very few that still have the complete mideval walls. You can walk aroung the ramparts of the whole old city.
These types of signs would normaly have a symbol showing what the store did. Since most people were illiterate.
Here is a beauty to give the billionaires even more
House is looking to drive up the cost of student loans.
As House Republicans look for ways to cut spending to fund President Donald Trump's tax cuts, they've floated plans that may raise student loan bills for millions.
The average new borrower could pay nearly $200 a month more if the GOP plans succeed, according to an early estimate by The Institute for College Access & Success.
As House Republicans look for ways to slash spending to fund President Donald Trump's tax cuts, they've floated proposals that could raise federal student loan bills for millions of borrowers.
GOP lawmakers are expected to use the budget reconciliation process to make major cuts to the federal budget. The savings from the student repayment plan overhaul would be $127.3 billion over 10 years, according to their estimate.
The timing is uncertain on when any of these changes could surface. It's also possible that the final Republican plan will be different than those proposed.
But the average student loan borrower could pay nearly $200 a month more if the GOP plans to reshape the repayment program succeed, according to an early estimate by The Institute for College Access & Success.

The coup has already happened in my opinion.
The highest court isn't going to say no. Vance, Thiel and Elon have stated courts have no say to stop legitimate direction of the president. In their opinion it is all legitimate.
He has control of the police agencies. He has his drunk in charge of the military.
The GOP controlled house and senate have laid down before him.
I think it is essentially over but the crying.
I hope I'm wrong but....
Seen on FB.

If only Mike Pence will do the right thing....
Louvre extension in Lens, France
This is a building that will take nothing away from the art.
Plus the way they arranged works will be interesting to see and compare on a time line by continent.
Give the video a shot.
The 150m (£122m) satellite of Paris's Louvre museum shimmers like an apparition on the raised plane of the former coalmine, looking down over streets of pitch-roofed miners' houses, dotted with the occasional chip shop. The building is formed from a series of long, low-slung walls that fade in and out of view as the changing light dances over its surface or as clouds of drizzle engulf it entirely in the wintry gloom.
Despite being officially opened by President François Hollande on Tuesday, the project is not quite finished. At present it sits in a churning sea of mud, with crisp sheets of aluminium and glass rising out of a vision not unlike the nearby battlefields of the Somme. The surrounding scene of hurried planting and mechanical puttering only adds to the impression that this is a cluster of great agricultural sheds.
But, as closer inspection reveals, these are not any old sheds. They are meticulously designed by Sanaa, the Japanese architecture practice that has won acclaim for creating buildings that are barely there at all.
"There is a theme that runs through all of our projects," says Ryue Nishizawa, one half of the partnership with Kazuyo Sejima, "about how to open up architecture to society, to the landscape to form a seamless continuity between inside and out."

Regensburg a few years back
Was looking for a different town when sorting through pictures. This will do, wearing a late fall coat.
On the lookout.
Time to go home.
