O, the possum

The white-faced, gray marsupials with almost human-like hands and prehensile tails are Virginia North American opossums, so named by English colonist John Smith of the Jamestown colony in 1610. It is the only marsupial native to the Highland Lakes and North America. It is not, despite popular belief, a possum, which is only found in Australia. In fact, the Australian possum, also a marsupial, was named after the North American variety, whose moniker comes from the Algonquian word apasum, meaning white animal or white face. Possums without the “o” do not have white faces.

And, no, the “o” is not silent. The correct pronunciation is uh-pa-sum, although not many put the “uh” in front anymore.

Opossums have been around for millions of years, evolving from the age of the dinosaur. They are sometimes referred to as living fossils because they have retained many of the same features from the earliest-known marsupials. Their large, strong jaws and teeth as well as the female’s marsupial pouch are a few of their more primitive features.

Male opossums are known as jacks, the females jills, and the young joeys. Jills give birth only 12 or so days after fertilization. The young are only half-baked at this point and far from being fully developed. The newborn, hairless, and blind joeys have only front legs and a mouth and are about the size of a honeybee. They crawl directly into the marsupium, or pouch, and remain firmly attached to the mother’s milk supply for eight more weeks of development. Even after that, they remain in the pouch for another month or more. The young also ride on the mother’s back during this time, watching and learning in preparation for life on their own.

Opossums are opportunistic omnivores: They eat anything. Adaptable and excellent survivors, they are…

Retail Sports Betting to Begin at Connecticut Casinos on Sept. 30

Online sports betting and internet gambling in the Nutmeg State will still have to wait until early October, pending certain regulatory approvals.

Posted: Sep 29, 2021 6:36 PM ET Updated: Sep 29, 2021 6:36 PM ET Read Time: 2 min

Retail sports betting will begin in Connecticut on Thursday — as long as gamblers drive out to a casino to make their wagers. 

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and partner DraftKings Inc. announced on Wednesday that starting on September 30, players will be able to place bets at a temporary sportsbook and kiosks at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.

A permanent sportsbook is “currently in the final stages of construction,” a press release said. 

Likewise, the Mohegan Tribe and partner FanDuel Group are launching retail sports betting on Thursday at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT. Wagers will be able to be placed at four live betting windows or via 50 self-service terminals at the casino.

Online sports betting and internet gambling in the Nutmeg State will still have to wait until early October, pending regulatory approval, the DraftKings-related release noted.

The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection has been tasked with overseeing that licensing and review process for sports betting, and approved the licenses needed for on-reservation wagering to begin at both casinos on Thursday. 

“We are still working to finalize the details for the soft launch of statewide retail and online sports betting, and have not yet set a date for that,” DCP spokesperson Kaitlyn Krasselt said in an email. 

However, the Mashantucket Pequot and Boston-based DraftKings aren’t wasting any time with their retail launch in Connecticut. Notice of the U.S. Department of the Interior’s approval of an agreement between the tribe and the state to amend gambling-related…

Girandole portrays the beautiful “Mohawk Last” – Reading Eagle

Dear Helaine and Joe: Can you tell me what I own and if it’s worth anything? There are glass prisms and brass figures, like American Indians and pilgrims. My mother insisted that I take it when she gave me a piano.

— SB

Dear SB:

I would like to thank your mother for giving you Girandole, which was probably made about 10 years before the Civil War.

The word Girandole means fireworks and candlesticks in Italian. The term sometimes refers to a convex mirror with two to four candle arms (sometimes a frame with an eagle on top), but rarely refers to a basket with flowers or a dragon / dolphin. There is also.

The overall idea was that the mirror would reflect the candlelight into a dark room, making things a little brighter.

Another type of Girandole included a central sconces with two sconces on the sides. All three were usually adorned with flower ropes with prisms hanging from the ends of the candle cups. The central parts of both the sconces and the two sconces were cast in brass or bronze (often gold-plated or sometimes silver-plated) and were figurative in shape.

There were flowers and jumping stag beetles, but there were also literary themes such as Robinson Crusoe, Uncle Tom and Eva, Lip Van Winkle, and most commonly Paul and Virginie. name.

The Girandole candlestick in today’s question is based on James Fenimore Cooper’s novel The Last of the Mohicans: The Story of 1757.

Novels and candlesticks take us to western New York during the French and Indian War. The candlestick shows the character of the Mohican chief Chingachgook sitting on a log with Natti Bumpo, also known as Hawkeye. Behind it stands Ankasu, the son of Chingachgook and the last Mohican.

Regional Manufacturing Day event rescheduled to May 2022

WILKES-BARRE — Eric Joseph Esoda, president and CEO at the Northeastern Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Center (NEPIRC), has announced that its Manufacturing Day 2021 Best Practices Summit & Expo, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 1, at the Mohegan Sun Pocono Convention Center, has been rescheduled to May 6, 2022.

Esoda noted that the decision to reschedule was made out of concern over rising coronavirus case numbers in the region and the need to keep the region’s manufacturing workforce, which constitutes the majority of attendees, healthy and safe.

“The decision to postpone was not made lightly,” noted Esoda. “While individual employer locations provide levels of protection, sanitation, traceability and overall safety relative to COVID-19, large-scale public gatherings lose some of those safeguards. Given the large turnout expected at our event, our Board of Directors and leadership team believed the best course of action was to hold Manufacturing Day in the spring rather than next month, with hopes that COVID-19 will be less concerning then.”

Billed as the largest manufacturing expo, best practice conference and networking event in northeastern and the northern tier of Pennsylvania, NEPIRC, according to Esoda, was expecting more than 60 exhibitors, some 400 attendees and numerous industry experts to participate in the day-long event in addition to dozens of high school students who were to participate in a career awareness tract.

“Our advanced bookings and sponsorships were well ahead of expectations for this year’s event,” Esoda added. “However, our concern for the health and safety of staff, exhibitors, speakers and attendees were too important for us to overlook. Our decision to reschedule was a prudent one from a human relations perspective.”

The May 2022 event will also take place at Mohegan…

Sports Betting Edging Closer In Connecticut

Connecticut Sports Betting edges closer to launch as gaming compacts are published

The final steps towards legal sports betting in Connecticut are underway. The next major obstacle was completed recently when the amended gaming compact between Connecticut and the Mashantucket Pequot Indians was officially published in the Federal Register. The publishing of the Mashantucket Pequot Indians arrives around two weeks after the Mohegan Indians had their compact published in the Federal Register on September 15.

With both compacts now done and dusted and officially published, online sports betting in the Constitution State will be able to launch on October 7. Consequently, residents in Connecticut can start betting on the Week 5 NFL schedule.

Getting Started with Betting in Connecticut

Anybody looking to get involved in the action and place wagers before the official online launch will likely be allowed to do so at one of the state’s retail locations.

Retail sports betting has been given the go-ahead to get underway at a tribal facility a week following the publishing of the compact. Bearing in mind, the Mohegan Indians had their compact published on September 15; they will likely go live with retail sports betting first.

Mohegan Tribal Chairman James Gessner has been seen in a CT Mirror story, revealing FanDuel Sportsbook-branded sports betting kiosks.

The Mashantucket Pequot Indian tribe runs the Foxwoods Casino, which will house a retail DraftKings Sportsbook. However, currently, no official launch date for retail sports wagering has been set by either tribe.

Connecticut Responsible Gambling

Sports wagering in Connecticut will give its residents the chance to ban themselves before the state goes live with sports betting.
