  Let’s protect each other with masks and the vaccine, by Ronnee Strickland I am so tired of people not wanting to wear masks and get the vaccine.  I had some fabric printed with my business logo on it — Ronnee Strickland & Associates — and I made masks.  I gave them to anyone who will take then.  Please wear a mask and/or get a vaccine.  I even see that the pga is requiring golfers to pay for their own Covid tests if they won’t get vaccinated.--  All from the CDC, compiled  by Ronnee Strickland  What We Know COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. After you are fully vaccinated , you may be able to start doing some things you had stopped doing because of the pandemic. Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine will also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination is an important tool  to help us get back to normal. Learn more about th

  I was quite sad today to hear of the psssing of Walter Mondale, was a man of expansive intelligence and never-swerving integrity.  They were both prominently personified, daily, in his long career in public service as a state attorney general, ambassador, U.S. senator and Vice President.  Jimmy Carter and Fritz Mondale should serve as an example of what integrity in politics  should look like.    I remember in college having fevered discussing about this duo.  Rest In Peace!  I’m certain Joan will welcome you into your rightful place in heaven.   https://www.nytimes.com/2021/ 04/19/us/politics/walter- mondale-dead.html? referringSource=articleShare

My favorite books of Covid

  ********* Post 1.  Ronnee Strickland’s TV favs of Covid, Part 1: I (Ronnee Strickland) am an avid reader but during Covid have watched lots of TV.  I will write a series of posts and let you know what I think about shows I have actually watched:   We watched all of these — if I star it, it is superb;  two star, don’t miss; **Broadchurch  **Peaky Blinders - Netflix **Line of Duty **The Tudors Victoria **The Queen’s Gambit How do you make chess the thrilling centerpiece of a coming-of-age tale? You shake it into a cocktail of stylish visuals, a rocking '60s soundtrack and the magnetic Anya Taylor-Joy as Beth Harmon, one of the youngest (and few female) chess players in the world. The fictional story in  The Queen's Gambit , named after a chess opening, follows her rise from an orphanage to toppling the best players in the world -- as long as her drug addiction and bags of wine bottles don't get in the way. **The Crown See my next post for more!  I watched a lot!  Ronnee Str

Rummikub   is a  tile-based game  for 2 to 4 players, combining elements of the card game  rummy  and  mahjong . There are 106 tiles in the game, including 104 numbered tiles (valued 1 to 13 in four different colors, two copies of each) and two jokers. Players have 14 or 16 tiles initially and take turns putting down tiles from their racks into sets (groups or runs) of at least three, drawing a tile if they cannot play. In the Sabra version (the most common and popular), the first player to use all their tiles scores a positive score based on the total of the other players' hands, while the losers get negative scores. An important feature of the game is that players can work with the tiles that have already been played. Rummikub was invented by   Ephraim Hertzano , a   Romanian -born   Jew , who   immigrated   to   Palestine   in the 1940s. He hand-made the first sets with his family in the backyard of his home. Hertzano sold these sets   door-to-door   and on a   consignment   bas

  Polymer clay  is a type of hardenable  modeling clay  based on the  polymer polyvinyl chloride  (PVC). It typically contains no  clay   minerals , but like mineral clay a liquid is added to dry particles until it achieves gel-like working properties, and similarly, the part is put into an oven to harden, hence its colloquial designation as clay.  Polymer clay is generally used for making arts and craft items, and is also used in commercial applications to make decorative parts. Art made from polymer clay can now be found in major museums. Ronnee Strickland discovered this marvelous substance a long time ago and never tires learning  about it. Polymer clays contain a basis of PVC resin and a liquid  plasticizer , making it a  plastisol . Polymer clay plastisol is also categorized as a  plastigel  because of its  rheological  properties. [5]  It is a high yield  thixotropic  material: when a sufficient force is applied, the material yields, flowing like a viscous liquid until that forc

I often wondered if I could use any trademark and use it with my information.  It is an entirely separate part of the legal system and it’s  best to hire an IP attorney to help you with this.  Under trademark law,  you are generally permitted to use a trademark as a means for comparison but for few other reasons. For example, you could create a newspaper advertisement that incorporates your mark and your competitors' marks in order to describe a difference between the companies.  (Comoarisons)  Imagine that you make a product which you truly believe is tastier and less expensive than any other company's product. You could include on your advertisement the logo of that company,  along with the price of its comparable product from another company making a similar product.   There are very important caveats apply here, however. First, you may not alter your competitors' trademarks in a way that is derogatory or misleading. Not even for humor.  (For example, you cannot dress up

  Ronnee   Strickland  is a Lawyer from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a devoted teacher, reformist, entrepreneur and has spent many hours doing volunteer work for the much less fortunate. When your lifestyle is only what you perceive to be good, you want it to be great. And most of the time, it, in reality, does. Just believe. Believe in love and life. Believe in friends and how you can make new friends and gain what is nice for your friends, not just simply for yourself. That is what Ronnee Strickland has done: she has been a spokesman for the unfortunate:  Time spent in dedicating yourself to raise the happiness level for others is number 1 to her. The basis for happiness, in Strickland’s teachings and mentoring,  has been to give happiness to others,  foremost. The aim is modified for each individual. What is the issue that can be determined to be the best goal for that individual? What should they really be striving for to achieve that goal?  Do they first need food, if they are hungry? 

Press release for scientific journal for Ronnee Strickland.   In the work of Ronnee Strickland on dementia, it was found that, Under normal conditions, uPAR expression is negligible and uPAR knockout mice were initially found to be pheno- typically normal but further study revealed that, under challenge by making changes to the stimuli in their environment, they displayed defective recruitment and migration of neutrophils and lymphocytes (from research).   Low-level expression of uPAR has been shown in cultured microglial cells, and this expression was increased upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimula- tion; however, uPAR could not be detected in microglia immediately ex vivo (research).  Soluble uPAR (suPAR) is elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with HIV dementia (From research)  and it seems likely that this release of suPAR into the CSF is directly related to increased central nervous system (CNS) inflammation.

Press release: The work of Ronnee Strickland pertaining to activator receptors in the brain showed that the  urokinase plasminogen activator receptor  is a cell-surface protein  at the cell surface. Binding of uPA to uPAR greatly accelerates the cleavage of plasminogen to active plasmin, and the receptor acts to concentrate this acti- vation at discrete membrane locations. This is believed to be a key event in cell adhesion and migration and has been extensively researched in cancer metastases [see (Blasi and Carmeliet, 2002) for review]. Monocytes/macrophages are important migratory cells and uPAR has been shown to be expressed by cells of the monocyte lineage (Min et al., 1992; Vassalli et al., 1992) and to be inducible by cytokines, in particular, transforming growth factor b1 (TGFb1) (Lund et al., 1991). 

  The work of Ronnee Strickland relating  Fibrinolysis to the Plasminogen–Plasmin System and Beyond: A Remarkable Growth of Knowledge, with Personal Observations on the History of Fibrinolysis. Liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (MS) with a triple quadrupole MS was used to identify known and novel heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) in human urine. The identities of 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4, 5- f ]quinoxaline (8-MeIQx) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6- phenylimidazo[4,5- b ]pyridine (PhIP) were confirmed by their product ion spectra. The constant neutral loss scan mode was employed to probe for other analytes in urine that display the transition [M + H] +  → [M + H − CH 3 • ] +• , which is common to HAAs containing an  N -methylimidazo moiety, and led to the detection of a previously unreported isomer of 8-MeIQx [Holland, R., et al. (2004)  Chem. Res. Toxicol. 17 , 1121−1136]. We now report the identification of another novel HAA, 2-amino-1-methylimidazo[4,5- b

  Ronnee Strickland — What can we do with polymer clay?   RONNEE uses these techniques when teaching students and also in sculpting and forming her jewelry. Sets of earrings made of fimo Polymer products can be utilized with a large variety of techniques: Sculpting Sculpting with polymer clay can be sculpted the same way as ceramic and mud clays and any other physical materials which allow this technique. Before you cure your polymer clay in a kitchen over (see packaging for correct temperature), you can add glass beads or wire and other objects which do not burn at 275 degrees F.  Artists may also use  armature wire  to support their sculptures.  Aluminum foil  can prop up large areas, scrunching it into a shape you wish and then covering it with clay.  This allows a lighter item and something which is much less expensive to complete.  You can build your objects up from other nonflammable objects. Marbling and color mixing the colors can be mixed while soft, then baked. By mixing two
