Read more to discover what custom orthotics are and how they’re the best investment for your foot health.
Custom orthotics are a prescription orthotic made from a 3D impression of your feet. They’re made just for you to help improve, support or correct your foot posture or treat any foot pathology you may be experiencing.
Many injuries and conditions we see at our foot clinics occur as a consequence of abnormal foot and lower limb mechanics. Such abnormalities can have a significant impact on the feet, legs, pelvis and spine.
Custom orthotics are specifically designed to suit your particular condition, foot type, weight and desired activity. Generally, custom orthotics offer greater control than other types of orthotics, in addition to being more durable.
Biomechanical correction is achieved by using high density foams and plastics which initially may appear too rigid but, in time, usually become quite comfortable.
Research has shown that, in many cases, custom orthotics can relieve pain and prevent further disability. That said, not everyone is a candidate for orthotic therapy. We also specialise in footwear prescription; frequently, some simple advice is all that is needed.
You can rest assured we will only recommend custom orthotics when necessary.
Orthotics are used to treat numerous foot conditions. Depending on which condition you have, the design and the features of the device will help provide you with the best treatment outcome.
Orthotics are never a standalone treatment, and your Podiatrist will recommend footwear changes, exercises and in some cases medication as well.
Here are some examples of foot conditions that can be treated with orthotics:
Custom orthotics are specially-made devices designed to support and comfort your feet.
Schedule an appointment today with a Podiatrist to be assessed and see if orthotic therapy is a solution for you.
How are custom orthotics made?
Making custom orthotics is a multi-step process that first begins with a thorough assessment by a podiatrist. During this assessment, your podiatrist will ask how and when your symptoms started. After that, your podiatrist will do a foot examniation. This assessment of your feet usually includes a visual gait assessment.
If you require any additional imaging for your feet to assess an underlying pathology (such as X-ray or ultrasound), your podiatrist will refer you.
Factoring in your symptoms, pathology, activity and footwear, your podiatrist will design an orthotic for your individual needs. Your prescription is then sent to a state-of-the-art orthotic laboratory where it’s hand made by highly skilled technicians.
Custom orthotics can differ not only in the materials used but also in their shape. Depending on your foot condition, activity and what footwear you would like to put them in, the prescription will change. Options include:
Our patients always ask us this question and feel that as Podiatrist we should be able to answer it as best as possible. The goal of orthotic therapy is to reduce internal and external forces which are acting on specific parts of foot, with the goal to treat injury and reduce foot pain.
Orthotics alter pressure coming from the ground to the foot (ground reaction force) when you stand, walk or run. By altering these forces we can achieve better foot function and reduce any excessive forces that lead to foot injury.
Depending on pathology and where your foot pain is located, different orthotic design with specific features can change location, magnitude and timing of force acting and within the foot. These excessive forces inside the foot and ankle are the cause of nearly all mechanically related injuries that we treat on a daily basis.
By wearing orthotics, we can help send back sensory feedback to your brain to prompt it to change its movement during gait. With these signals your brain can send corrective movements to the foot and improve function, avoid pain and prevent injury.
Custom made orthotics are crafted for you and no one else.
Following an assessment by a Podiatrist a pair of custom made orthotics will be made to accommodate your unique foot structure and pathology.
Depending on your policy, if you are covered for podiatry and orthotic services, you may be eligible for a rebate on your orthotics. Before you consider having custom orthotics made, you’ll want to check to see how much your insurance will cover and what your out-of-pocket expenses are.

At The Foot Hub, we know that custom orthotics aren’t without their controversy.
A common story we hear is:
Unfortunately, some people have had experiences like this before. This something we try to avoid in our Sydney foot clinics with the following practices:
At The Foot Hub we pride ourselves in delivering accurate and meticulous custom made orthotics to our patients. We promise the following to our patients:

Six weeks following an orthotic fitting, your podiatrist will make a follow up appointment to see how your orthotics going.
Custom orthotics should be gradually worn in overtime starting off with an hour a day increasing until you are able to wear them all day with no discomfort. These appointments are a crucial step, and we advise our patients to make sure to attend them.
At The Foot Hub, we assure all our patients that should anything cause significant pain to promptly call the clinic.
If any modifications are required to the orthotic at this appointment, these will be free of charge. Getting your orthotics right is important to us.
Shoes are essential when it comes to orthotic function. Wearing proper fitting orthotic-friendly shoes you can help improve function of the your orthotics and avoid any potential fitting issues.
Use shoes with:
Orthotic-friendly shoe design has come a long way in the last few years. You don’t have to worry about wearing clunky, ugly shoes like in the past.
*Shoes from Bared Footwear
In 2001, a seven-year-old girl was brought by her parents into a podiatry clinic for severe flatfoot deformity. The patient was having difficulty walking long distances or standing on her feet for prolonged periods of time. She was assessed by a podiatrist and recommended custom orthotics. She was treated with medial heel skive orthoses.
The patient became asymptomatic within a month of receiving treatment with significant minimised pain in her feet. In 2018, age 24, she returned to the clinic she attended in 2001 for a new pair of custom orthotics. She was still wearing the old orthotics she wore in 2001. She still had flat feet but was asymptomatic as long as she wore her custom orthotics.
In conclusion, custom orthotics are an effective treatment for symptomatic flat feet. Through the use of durable materials, they last a long time.

Custom orthotics are handmade and take some time to make due to different stages to the manufacture. Also, the materials used to make them are specialised and therefore costly. At The Foot Hub, we try to make all our services affordable without compromising on quality.
Make sure to take advantage of your private health insurance and our offers like Afterpay.
It takes two weeks to get your orthotics to you. Should there be delays, your podiatrist will advise you at time of your appointment.
The Foot Hub uses a state-of-the-art orthotic laboratory in Queensland. All orthotics are handmade with high-quality control and finishes to make sure they’re perfect for the patients.
Yes, they do wear out over time due to use and activity. If the top cover of the orthotic is worn this can be easily replaced, however if the shell of the orthotic is cracked or warped, a replacement orthotic would be indicated. Depending on how often you wear them, and the materials used in custom orthotics can last for more than three years.
No. Make sure to take advantage of your private health insurance and other offers like Afterpay.
Orthotics can last for a long considerable amount of time. Depending on how often you wear them, and type of activity you should expect your orthotics to last over three years. Sometimes the top cover can wear out, this may need to be replaced before that. Always talk to your Podiatrist about what activity you would need your orthotics for so that suitable and durable materials can be chosen.

Know The Dangers Of Trans Fats
Trans fats are dangerous for your heart, because they raise low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The chief culprit youll see on product labels is partially hydrogenated oil. Trans fats are the result of adding hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to increase shelf life. This may make some baked and fried foods taste better, but trans fats are very unhealthy, particularly for people with high triglycerides. In fact, trans fats should make up less than 1 percent of your total calories, according to the World Health Organization. Check your food labels: If a food contains trans fats or hydrogenated oils, leave it on the shelf.
Weight Loss Can Lower Triglycerides And Ldl Cholesterol
It doesn’t take dramatic weight loss to lower LDL and triglyceride levels. Just 5 to 10 pounds can make a difference, says Jerry Blaine, M.D., who specialized in cholesterol management, lipid disorders, hypertension, and preventive medicine, including at the Lipid Clinic at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts, before retiring in 2013.
The same applies to triglycerides. The more calories you eat and don’t burn off, the more you store, which can lead to higher-than-normal triglyceride levels.
Additionally, there are other trim-down steps you can take to lower your LDL cholesterol and triglycerides:
— Set a goal to lose 5-10 percent of your total body weight. For example, a 200-pound adult would aim to lose 10-20 pounds. Once the weight is off, keep up your healthy lifestyle to maintain your new weight.
— Cut 200-500 calories a day from the number of calories it takes to maintain your weight. Reducing caloric intake will lower both LDL and triglycerides.

Ask Your Doctor About Natural Supplements
Several natural supplements could have the potential to lower blood triglycerides. Always speak with your doctor before starting any supplements, as they can interact with other medications.
Note especially that the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate supplements in the same way as it regulates pharmaceuticals, and supplement quality can vary widely.
Below are a few of the main supplements that have been studied:
- Fish oil. Well known for its potent effects on heart health, fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to decrease triglycerides and several other risk factors for heart disease (
Several supplements have been studied for their ability to lower triglyceride levels, including fish oil, fenugreek, garlic extract, guggul, and curcumin.
Ways To Lower Your Cholesterol Without Medication
Cholesterol is a waxy substance in your blood and is also found in certain foods. Ideally, your total cholesterol levels will fall under 200 milligrams per deciliter . Your LDL, or bad cholesterol, levels should fall under 100 mg/dL. And your HDL, or good cholesterol, should stay at 40 mg/dL or higher. If you have high cholesterol levels, changing your lifestyle can go a long way.
Dr. Javier Sosa and our team at Woodlands Primary Healthcare provide blood tests to help identify cholesterol-related risk factors. We can also make lifestyle recommendations that suit your specific needs.
Here are nine ways you can lower your cholesterol levels without medication:

Eat Less To Lose Weight
High triglycerides come from regularly eating more calories than your body burns, so eating less overall is one of the best ways to start reining them in.
How much less, exactly? You may want to cut back by 500 to 1,000 calories a day, depending on how many calories youre consuming. Thats enough to help you lose weight, which is key.
Dropping 5 to 10 percent of your body weight is enough to reduce your triglycerides significantly. But definitely get the OK from your doctor before making any major changes to your diet.
How To Lower Triglycerides
What does it mean when you have high triglycerides? How do you lower your triglycerides?
If youve been told that you have high triglycerides a type of fat found in the bloodstream youre not alone. One report suggests that nearly one-third of Americans have elevated triglycerides.1
Higher than normal triglyceride levels are a problem because theyre associated with increased risk of metabolic dysfunction, heart attacks, and strokes.2
Although many people focus on the risks associated with high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high triglycerides may be even more predictive of future heart events.3
The good news is, you can use the advice in this guide to work with your healthcare provider to reduce your triglycerides naturally. You can also consider discussing medications or supplements to lower your triglycerides if needed.
Heres what you need to know about reducing your triglycerides.

Cut Excess Saturated Fat
Sometimes a small change can make a significant difference. Although this is based mostly on clinical experience, simply eliminating extra liquid saturated fat may normalize LDL levels.7 That means eliminating MCT oil and butter in coffee, fat bombs, or other keto treats.
Some people may find that limiting their saturated fat intake to whole foods is all it takes to improve LDL levels.
The Powerful Pectin In Apples
An apple a day keeps the doctor away is more true than you might think. Many studies have demonstrated that fresh apples have a really good effect on lowering LDL cholesterol and raising HDL cholesterol.
You see, apples contain an unusual high about of the type of fibers known as pectin and pectin is a component that helps reduce the cholesterol in your blood .

Follow A Lower Carb Diet
Much like added sugar, extra calories from carbs in your diet are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells.
Not surprisingly, low carb diets have been linked to lower blood triglyceride levels .
A review of 12 randomized controlled trials found that people following reduced carb diets typically saw a reduction in triglyceride levels at 6, 12, and 24 months. Across these studies, triglyceride levels decreased the most 6 months after starting a reduced calorie diet .
A 2020 review compared low fat and low carb diets. Researchers found that 612 months after starting their relative diets, those on the low carb diet had greater decreases in triglyceride levels than those on a low fat diet .
Following a low carb diet can lead to a significant reduction in blood triglyceride levels, at least in the short term, when compared with a low fat diet.

Add More Fiber To Your Diet
Fiber is the part of your food that isnt digested, and its important because it helps you feel full. According to a study published in February 2019 in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition, dietary fiber can reduce the risk of high triglycerides in young to middle-aged adults who are overweight or obese. In general, fiber-rich foods also have carbohydrate content that is more complex and can lead to more gradual absorption by the body, which can also help temper the triglyceride increase that occurs after meals, says Michael Wesley Milks, MD, a cardiologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus. Fiber is found in whole grains and nutrient-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables.
Limit Sugar Refined Carbohydrates And Too Much Alcohol
Do you have to eat a keto diet to lower triglycerides? Not necessarily. Reducing sugars, refined carbohydrates, and alcohol may be enough to lower your levels.
As we mentioned, any caloric excess can increase triglycerides. However, the most likely sources of extra calories are excess sugar, refined carbs, and alcohol.19
One reason carbs and sugars commonly increase triglycerides may be that carbs and sugars are two of the most commonly overconsumed foods. However, another reason could be that fructose and alcohol are more likely to cause fatty liver, which can raise triglycerides.20
One study reports that simply replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with water reduced triglycerides.21
And another reports that decreasing alcohol consumption lowered fasting triglycerides.22
Other factors, such as baseline obesity and insulin resistance, may make it more likely that eating carbs would cause an individuals triglycerides to rise.23
If youre overweight or have insulin resistance, the evidence shows its important to reduce carbs. However, the data suggests that most people with high triglycerides even people with normal weight would benefit from reducing sugar, refined carbs, and alcohol.

Healthy Eating Tips To Lower Cholesterol
As well as sticking to a varied and healthy diet, try these tips to help you manage your cholesterol:
- The Heart Foundation recommends that people follow a heart-healthy eating pattern, which is built on eating mostly plant-based foods. Eating more plant-based foods like vegetables, legumes, fruit, wholegrains, nuts and seeds is good for heart health.
- Include legumes , beans in at least two meals a week. Check food labels and choose the lowest sodium products.
- Beans make a great alternative to meat in tacos, or snack on hummus with vegetable sticks. You can also add legumes to soups, pasta sauces, curries and stews.
- Use tofu or lentils instead of meat in stir fries or curries.
Beans Beans And More Beans True Miracle Veggies
Did you know that beans are some of the most effective foods to lower cholesterol? Well, they are and the variety of beans is amazing. There is something for every taste. You can go for green beans, navy beans, pinto beans, kidney beans and more.
These fierce cholesterol fighters have a remarkable ability to lower your problematic LDL cholesterol significantly .
A study has shown that beans may reduce your LDL cholesterol with as much as 24% if you eat about 100 grams of beans a day.

Substitute Healthy Oils In Place Of Butter And Margarine
Of course, its not always realistic to avoid fats when youre whipping up a tasty meal. When you do need to add fat for cooking, baking or pan frying, use healthy oils instead of solid fats, like butter, margarine, shortening and lard.
Solid fats are high in saturated fats, but oils are high in unsaturated fats, which remember are better for you. The American Heart Association recommends using oils that have less than 4 grams of saturated fat per tablespoon .
Many times, its easy to swap a solid fat to a healthier one. Try using olive oil, sunflower oil or grapeseed oil in place of a solid fat.
For example, if youd rather use olive oil than butter, substitute three quarters the amount of butter in a recipe with olive oil. You might also bring out some new, surprising, subtle flavors, too.

Medications Can Lower Ldl And Triglycerides
To get cholesterol and triglycerides into the target zone, many people with diabetes need to add medications to their healthy eating and exercise plans. Reducing elevated LDL cholesterol is typically the top priority. To achieve the target goals, many people need to take a medication in the statin category.
The American Diabetes Association recommends that statin therapy be added for people who have:
- a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and whose LDL cholesterol doesn’t hit the target of 100 mg/dl or less with healthy lifestyle change.
- cardiovascular disease and who don’t reach the LDL cholesterol target of 70 mg/dl or less.
Statin medications are most effective at lowering LDL cholesterol. All medications should be prescribed and monitored by a health care provider.
Common statins include:
Other medications that lower both LDL cholesterol and triglycerides:
- Prescription-strength niacin
Other medications prescribed to lower LDL cholesterol:
- Bile acid sequestrants, such as Questran or Colestid
- Welchol , a bile acid sequestrant that can also lower blood glucose
Other medications prescribed to lower triglycerides:
- Prescription-strength fish-oil pills
Other medications to lower cholesterol and blood pressure:
Medications that have been found to increase triglycerides:
- Birth-control pills
- Tamoxifen, a breast cancer drug
Prepare Your Food A Little Differently
Its not only what you eat its how you eat it. Just as you can change what you buy in the grocery store, you can also choose healthier ways to make your food that help lower your cholesterol naturally. For example:
- Consider trimming fat and removing the skin when cooking meat or fish. This helps you get the protein while reducing fat intake.
- Focus on boiling, broiling, baking, poaching or grilling. These are better methods of preparation than deep frying or breading, which can add extra fat.

Increased Risk Of Heart Disease
Medical science consistently demonstrates that people with higher triglycerides have a higher risk of heart disease. That is not surprising since high triglycerides are also correlated with other cardiac risk factors such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and more atherogenic small LDL particles.49
Observational studies demonstrate the risk of a heart attack triples for those with triglycerides above 265 mg/dL compared to those with lower levels.50
Another study reports an increased risk for statin-treated patients when their triglycerides were above 175 mg/dL .51
Studies comparing the impact of elevated triglycerides on cardiovascular risk suggest it may be equally or more important than high LDL cholesterol.
One study shows genetic mutations that lower triglycerides have an equal benefit for reducing heart disease risk as those that lower LDL.52
Other studies report elevated triglycerides and triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio are associated with smaller LDL particles and a more advanced coronary disease, whereas elevated LDL cholesterol show no significant correlation.53
Most recently, an evaluation of the PREDIMED trial demonstrates that triglycerides above 150 mg/dL and remnant cholesterol ) have greater predictive power for heart disease risk than does LDL.54
In fact, many trials show no improvement in the risk of heart disease or death.
Could triglyceride-lowering lifestyles have a greater impact than medications?

If you are looking for school holiday activities that are fun for the entire family, stimulating visually, as well as budget friendly, then exploring the art and culture on a road trip in the Central West will tick those boxes. There is lots to discover in each of the quaint and heritage towns in the region too, which you can plan as a day trip or plan it as a staycation.
We experienced this recently with a few friends with children aged between 7-14 years which is ideal for this itinerary. All they need is a little imagination and the day will be golden.
To encourage your children to get into the mindfulness of art and culture, talking about colour as a way of seeing through new eyes before you set off is a good way to set the tone for the road trip. A guided imagery engaging all the senses (you could be imaginative and describe any story), ending with a colour glowing in a woman’s palm can be facilitated using chalk pastels or even paint colour charts. A range of 72 colours is ideal so that each person can choose their colour and spends the day looking for their colour as part of their journey.
It’s also a great idea to pack a sketchbook or clipboard with art paper for kids so they can capture and draw the picturesque scenery along the way.
Starting from Orange, the distance to Carcoar is approximately 40 minutes by car.
If you have followed the full round-trip three-part itinerary from Orange – Eugowra – Grenfell – Carcoar then the distance from Grenfell to Carcoar is approximately 1 hour and 20 mins.
Carcoar is a pretty village with tranquil surrounds and makes a great Staycation stop too.
The highlight for all the family here is the 20th Century Toy Museum which is located in the old CBC bank building and has over 2,000 toys in the five rooms downstairs. It costs $4 for entry which I think presents fabulous value! The collection will certainly have you travelling down memory lane which includes Betty Boop, Simpsons, Japanese Anime, Superheroes, Royal memorabilia and more. Check out our gallery of photos below.
Bring a clipboard with a pen and paper and kids can write something they spot from A – Z for a bit of extra fun.
The courthouse just around the corner is great for kids and adults to “act the part” of judges and plaintiffs. Great for photo opportunities.

DRC Government authorities have now reported at least 15 people have been killed after the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo volcano.
The eruption occurred on Saturday night in the north-eastern province of North Kivu.
Government spokesman Patrick Muyaya said that the 15 people were killed while fleeing the threats of lava.
He further urged residents to avoid non-essential activities while seismic activity in the area could still cause damage.
DRC authorities have not yet released the assessed collateral damage caused by the eruption.
Helicopters of the UN peacekeeping mission in the DRC made constant reconnaissance flights over the crater after the volcano eruption to closely monitor the situation.
Local residents started returning to their homes in abandoned neighborhoods overnight.
Most residents tried to salvage the debris of their property.
However UNICEF officials said more than 170 children were still feared missing on Sunday.
They were organizing transit centers to help unaccompanied children in the wake of the disaster.

The pandemic has affected and changed practically every aspect of our lives. Some may have changed for the better, others ended being worse, and a few had a little of both. Regardless of the type of change we had, we can’t deny that our health has been immensely impacted by the current situation, especially that we are required to adopt and adapt the study-at-home (SAH) set up for students and the work-from-home (WFH) option for employees. It is, therefore, crucial to protect and maintain our health in these unfamiliar new setups amidst a global health crisis.
The question now is how can we protect our health and stay healthy. The Harvard Health Publishing recommends having a healthy diet rich in fiber, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and engaging in physical activity for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week as part of the essentials in maintaining good health. The article may not have mentioned it but controlling the amount of food that we are consuming is also important.
In my case, I was able to lose weight during the pandemic by monitoring my food intake and engaging in basic home exercises that don’t require any equipment. I didn’t have food restrictions, but I made sure that I don’t overeat. I followed my exercise plan which I obtained from YouTube and which consisted mostly of stationary floor exercises such as abdominal crunches, push-ups, lunges, and other similar activities.
Other members of my family, on the other hand, sweat it out by engaging in virtual Zumba sessions and doing household chores. Having experienced all these physical activities, I realized that we don’t need to be in a gym nor purchase any equipment to be able to exercise and stay fit. All we need is discipline and determination to achieve and maintain a physically fit body. Of course, it’s easier said than done but it’s possible and I’ve been doing it since the pandemic started last year.
If you are working or studying at home, Assistant Professor Queenie Roxas-Ridulme, a registered nurse and the Program Chair for Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) of the UPOU Faculty of Management and Development Studies (FMDS) suggested engaging in simple exercises like stretching or walking every one or two hours and to have a 15-minute break in order to focus and concentrate again.
We are aware that regular exercise and proper diet are beneficial in maintaining our health, but are these enough? Apparently, they are not sufficient since there are other components of health other than the physical aspect of our bodies. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” So being healthy doesn’t mean being free from illnesses or sickness and is not only limited to being physically fit but also encompasses our mental and social well-being.
Through the online discussion entitled “Usap-Lusog-Isip: Conversations on Promotion Mental Health,” I was able to confirm that mental health is an integral part of our well-being as well as learned about the concept of hygiene and its relevance to our mental health. Dr. Dinah Palmera Nadera, the discussion’s resource person and the Resident Psychiatrist of the University Health Service of UP Diliman, highlighted the importance of hygiene in protecting and maintaining our mental health and detailed the role of the different forms of hygiene–information, financial, social, and spiritual, among others–in our daily activities, particularly now that we are confined in our homes most of the time.
Dr. Nadera cited that information hygiene, for instance, can protect our mental health for it allows us to identify and disregard the false information and fake news that spread like wildfire on the Internet, thereby reducing the anxiety and stress that this incorrect information brings into our consciousness. On the other hand, money, economic or financial hygiene encourages us to improve our buying power and financial freedom. It obliges us to save, for example, by identifying essential items from non-essential items when making a purchase. Moreover, financial hygiene should be able to help us to control impulsive clicking on the “Add To Cart ” button when shopping online.
Regarding social hygiene, Dr. Nadera stressed the importance of our relationships and interconnectedness with one another. She highlighted the significance of communication among family members, particularly with our parents and grandparents. For me, one positive aspect the pandemic has contributed is that it has undeniably made me closer with my loved ones, and this is something that I’ll cherish and bring with me moving forward.
Another relevant insight on how to protect and maintain our health in our current setup is the practice of self-care which, according to WHO, is “among the most promising and exciting new approaches to improve health and well-being.” It’s notable that WHO has recently promoted this practice which some of us may have neglected due to busy work schedules especially if you’re a full-time employee or due to many school requirements and activities if you’re a student. For tips and suggestions for both students and working professionals on how to integrate self-care with their daily tasks and responsibilities, you may read “A little help with WFH” and “Psychosocial Help for Students in times of ECQ” which are both written by Ms. Anna Cañas-Llamas.
The scope of self-care includes self-medication which is applicable for common and mild illnesses and is useful during lockdowns and quarantines. Self-medication has many benefits, especially to those who have no direct access to doctors, hospitals, medicines, and other modern health care benefits. The use of medicinal plants, for instance, as remedies to common ailments such as boils, stomach aches, and fever, among others has been a customary practice of most Filipinos. The problem, however, is that some overdo it to the point that they no longer consult doctors and other health professionals, especially in serious cases. With WHO’s intervention and promotion of self-care, I’m optimistic that this practice coupled with the guidance of experts can benefit more people, especially in our current situation.
Regardless of how you’ve changed during this pandemic, your health should always be your priority. Whether you’re a student or an employee and whether you’re in a pandemic or in a normal situation, it is always important to take care of your health which includes your physical, mental, and social well-being. Stay healthy, everyone!

MACON, Ga. — A U.S. Supreme Court decision to strike down a New York gun law could dissolve some of Georgia's gun restrictions.
The court ruled 6-3 declaring New York's permit requirement violated the U.S. Constitution. The New York law required you to prove you were in a special situation where you needed extra protection in order to get a gun license. SCOTUS's ruling instead holds up the Second Amendment right to carry handguns outside the home.
"It now states that you cannot really infringe upon it the way that things have been done in the past," said the Executive Director of GeorgiaCarry.org, Jerry Henry.
So, other states including Georgia could find their current restrictions unconstitutional. For example, Georgia law still bans bringing guns into certain places such as a church, unless the church allows it. Pastor of the Freedom Church in Warner Robins Troy Wynn says he has a "mixed review."
"I understand the right to bear arms and I do honor and respect that. At some point, though, I am really concerned about individuals not being mentally responsible enough to carry loaded weapons in a facility or place where they may not be able to conduct themselves properly if something were to happen," Wynn said.
Bonnie Carlson with Mercer University's law school says the ruling changes the constitutional framework when it comes to new gun laws.
"Now, legislatures are going to have to demonstrate that their laws are historically-rooted, and that's going to have to be the justification for any gun regulations moving forward," Carlson said.
"There's still some infringements on there and there will remain some infringements on there, but for the most part, the Second Amendment means what it says, that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," Henry said.
Thursday's U.S. Supreme Court's decision came as congress passed bipartisan gun legislation and the president signed off on it over the weekend. Members were quoted saying they hope the laws prevent dangerous people from getting their hands on guns, and expands access to mental health care.

The environmental justice movement began making headway in the United States during the 1980s as a result of growing public awareness about environmental issues and their immense impact on daily life. With an ever-increasing intensity of natural disasters, there is an ever-growing need for a coordinated response to environmental risk factors. However, deep-rooted social inequalities continue to persist and have impacted the way various governments have historically responded to environmental concerns.
Marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and hazards, as well as the fallout from natural disasters. On the other hand, affluent sectors of society are often far better protected from the ill effects of environmental hazards due to their privileged position in society. In short, certain sectors are more vulnerable for no reason other than their racial and/or economic grouping. These social discrepancies and inequalities are the driving force behind the environmental justice paradigm.
At its core, environmental justice attempts to counter these inherent social inequalities by meaningfully engaging people regardless of their status, race, color, religion, politics or nationality in developing environmental laws and policies. This, in turn, provides a sense of agency and involvement among marginalized groups in dealing with environmental risk factors facing their communities. In light of climate change in an increasingly globalized world, environmental justice is necessary to alleviate some of the risk factors facing some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.
Indigenous people and subsistence farming communities, like the Maya Chorti of northwestern Honduras, are often cited as peoples who are especially vulnerable to the harmful impacts of climate change. Due to their reliance on subsistence farming and close socio-cultural proximity to their ancestral lands, many indigenous groups in Central America are severely impacted by radical changes in the climate pattern. For example, the recent warming trend observed across northern Honduras has resulted in widespread droughts. This has altered the production patterns of the various crops rural communities have traditionally relied on for their subsistence, including corn and beans.
As a result, thousands of people in northern Honduras are now facing severe food shortages. This has fueled the ongoing displacement of rural populations, who are forced to leave their homes because they are starving and are unable to attain minimal living standards for themselves and their families.
Impacts of hydro-electrical and mining operations
It is worth noting that the climatic warming process and the recurrence of droughts in large parts of Honduras are intensified as a result of deforestation and bad water management policies. Multinational hydro-electrical and mining operations have decimated the water systems, including rivers and aquifers across Honduras. This has disproportionately impacted indigenous communities.
For many rural communities, many of which are indigenous, these water systems are their only source of freshwater. Pollution of the rivers as a result of the exploitative activities of multinational mining and hydroelectric companies not only threatens these peoples’ access to fresh water but also undermines the ecological integrity of the region as a whole. In Honduras, the forests and vegetation often rely on the freshwater sources of the rivers and aquifers to thrive, especially during the dry season when rainfall is limited. However, hydroelectric and mining projects in Honduras often divert or interrupt the natural flow of large sections of river systems or deplete freshwater sources in order to sustain their electrical production. In other parts, interruption to the river flow has resulted in large-scale flooding of local villages.
These interruptions and the depletion of river water sources have jeopardized sensitive ecosystems and the lives of dependent rural communities. Examples of this can be found in the ongoing Patuca III Hydroelectric Project. The project has already been stopped on three separate occasions due to international outcry. The dam is proposed to be constructed on Lake Patuca in the district of Moskitia, Honduras. This region is widely considered to be the “largest, most biodiverse expanse of tropical wilderness north of the Amazon Basin.”
The indigenous people who have lived in this region for hundreds of years have helped preserve this amazing biodiversity. Yet the prospect of Patuca III dam construction, which is underway as we speak, threatens to endanger this precious ecosystem and bring irreversible harm to its biodiversity and the indigenous people living along the banks of the Patuca River.
Environmental scientists have noted how the dam would block migratory patterns of various fish species that live within the river, which may lead to their extinction. Upstream, the rising water levels would “submerge rainforest vegetation, soils, and organic matter, which would emit greenhouse gases as they rot.” The increased commercial activities, rising water levels and destruction of forest habitats would endanger thousands of species, including jaguars and tapirs. Additionally, the local indigenous fishing communities along the river banks would be flooded out of their homes, and their lifestyle irreversibly altered.
What’s more, the project has been marred by an accusation of corruption and mishandling by officials involved in the construction of the dam. The construction companies involved in the project are owned and operated by officials in the government. Likewise, experts have doubted the dam’s efficiency in meeting the electrical needs of the local communities, noting that Honduras already possesses a surplus of energy capacity but lacks proper management, handling, and distribution of energy sources for the various localities.
Despite these facts and widespread local and international resistance to the construction of the dam, the government seems to be intent on its course. Protests by local indigenous communities have often been met with extreme violence, including assassinations.
Similar outcomes can be observed in the example of mining operations in Honduras. In Copan, Honduras, where I worked for nearly two years, extensive gravel extractions from the riverbeds of the various major rivers, including Rio Copan, have been a major issue for the local villages. The depletion of rock and gravel from the riverbed results in runoffs and alteration of the water flow. The pollution from the machines extracting the minerals and the processing centers has reduced the fish populations in the rivers and has been a cause of sickness among Maya Chorti communities that rely on the rivers for their freshwater.
Extensive digging and extractions have diverted the water flow of the main rivers systems in Copan, Honduras. As a result of the runoffs and diverted water flow, many of the rivers are increasingly drying up. Coupled with the rising intensity of droughts and reduction of annual rainfall in the region, this trend may contribute to deforestation and even desertification throughout northern Honduras. Rural and indigenous communities that require water to sustain their crops and subsistence would be forced to leave their territories, which in turn would add to the unfolding migration crisis that Honduras is facing. If we are truly concerned with the migration crises in Central America, local environmental concerns must be taken into account.
For too long, Latin America has had its natural wealth exploited and extracted to fuel foreign industries and centers of capital. It is time to stand in solidarity with indigenous nations in the struggle to achieve environmental justice for all people. If we are to coexist in the world, we can no longer afford to accumulate wealth and capital at the expense of depriving the vast majority of people access to lands and healthy environmental conditions.

Colloidal Silver and Surgical Wound Care Presentation Given at 2012 SIGN Conference
At the 12th annual SIGN Fracture Care International Conference on “Treatment of Difficult Fractures Around the World,” Dr. Samuel Hailu gave a presentation on the use of colloidal silver as a wound wash to help mitigate infections in fracture wounds.
The Conference was attended by 150 surgeons from 22 countries.
Dr. Hailu discussed his proposed study, “Effect of Colloidal Silver on Open Lower Extremity Fracture Infection: Randomized Control Trial,” which drew interest among the doctors in attendance.
The Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from TheSilverEdge.com was demonstrated at the conference as an inexpensive yet effective means of producing high-quality colloidal silver (see image below).
And a display and related handout materials, including a list of clinical studies on the use of antimicrobial silver as an infection-fighting agent, were available for the surgeons.
Silver has been studied as an antimicrobial agent, and used in surgical wound care since the 1970’s, when Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. conducted his original pioneering research into the effects of electrically generated silver ions on human cells and wound healing.
SIGN is an international organization that supports trauma surgeons in developing nations who have committed their lives to serving the injured poor.
SIGN provides educational support and specialized equipment to surgeons in 41 countries throughout the developing world, who in turn provide surgical care to indigent patients suffering from severe and often complex fracture trauma.

A Feeding Guideline and Rule of Thumb
If you are just starting raw, STOP feeding kibble and begin raw, a straight swop is best rather than a gradual as the stomachs ph balance needs to adjust.
The 80 –10 –10 Guide
Proteins = 80%
Bones = 10%
Offal / Organs = 10%
Most pre-made raw foods if they are following a good feeding ratio will have the 80/10/10 balance, However when you first start out have a look at what the ratio’s are as those that contain offal, can cause an upset stomach as Offal is a very nutrient dense source. We advise offal being added slowly and in smaller portions at a time when the body has better adjusted to raw.
For the 1st week to ten days the stomach PH will be adjusting. Once you start to feed raw the stomach acidity will start to strengthen to be able to digest bone. From a kibble ph of around 4-5 feeding raw will encourage the stomach acid to drop to a ph 1-2. During this transition period we would suggest feeding boneless protein for the first 3-5 days before starting to introduce bone, either in a minced/ground form or by way of soft edible bone like chicken breast bone/ribs.
For the 2nd week begin adding bones. This can be in the form of bone-in chicken breast, wings, necks, backs, legs, thighs, hindquarters or carcass.
If by the end of the 2nd week your fur child is tolerating the chicken and bones, its time to introduce a new protein. Do this gradually until the first protein is replaced entirely by the second and the fur child is doing well. This should take about a week to accomplish. Continue adding new proteins one at a time until your fur child can eat them all without issues.
After your fur child has successfully been introduced to 4 proteins you can start slowly to introduce the 10% offal/organs. We suggest starting with the liver first, remember this will only be a total of 5% of their daily intake. You do not want to give them the full portion to start, you want to very slowly introduce liver to their diet. Going to fast will result in loose stool, take this slow
How Much to Feed
Most Adult dogs eat around 2% to 3% of their ideal adult weight per day weight (start with 2.5%, more if active, less if couch potato – depends on individual dogs). This will include the 80% proteins (muscle meat). 10% bones, 5% liver 5% other secreting offal/organs.
After your fur child has been eating the 5% liver portion, you now are ready to introduce the other 5% of the offal/organs. We recommend introducing this very slowly as well.
How Much – Guidelines for Dogs
How Much – Guidelines for Cats
What to Feed
Minimum of 3 to 4 proteins, the more variety the better with more red meats. Fish & Eggs should only be added AFTER introducing 3 to 4 proteins successfully, and your 5% liver and 5% other offal/organs have been added to their meals. Please note, they should be introduced slowly and small amounts.
- White Meats: Chicken, Farmed rabbits, Turkey
- Red Meats: Pork, Beef, Lamb, Goat, Duck, Goose, Venison, Elk, Bison. Roo, Wild rabbit, game birds, moose, Bison
- Game/wild animals needs to be frozen for 2 to 3 weeks.
Organs Fed as Muscle/Protein Meat:
- Tripe, Heart, Gizzard, Tongue, Trachea and Lungs
- Red meats/proteins should be fed more in the diet. Green tripe should only be 15% of the diet. The more variety of proteins fed the better. Heart is considered meat and should only be fed 20% of protein requirement because it is very rich and can cause runny poops.
Bones 10% – NO COOKED BONES or weight bearing bones.
- All parts of chicken, duck, turkey, rabbits, game, fowl, small prey
- Ribs (feed in sections) Neck, shoulder – Pig, Lamb, Goat, Deer
- 5% Live
- 5% Other Offal/Organs – Kidney, spleen, thymus, brain pancreas, testes and eyes.
- 2 to 3 times a week (after introducing 3 to 4 proteins successfully).
- Examples : Sardines, Mackerel, Sprats, Herring, Trout, Salmon, Needs to be frozen for 2 to 3 weeks before feeding.
- Twice a week (Last item to be introduced)
- Examples: Chicken, Duck, Goose and Quail

Do You Suffer from Gout? Avoid These 7 Foods
Gout is one of the most painful forms of arthritis. It’s caused by the accumulation of microscopic crystals of uric acid in the body.
It also tends to affect the knees, ankles and other parts of the body that are susceptible to accumulation of said substance. It frequently affects the joints, but also has negative effects on the soft tissues in the body and on the kidneys.
This condition usually strikes at night, when the sufferer experiences intense pain and their big toe becomes red.
It’s even estimated that a high percentage of patients with this problem develop kidney difficulties and kidney stones.
Since this problem produces an inflammatory reaction, it’s commonly accompanied by a continuous sensation of pain, movement difficulties and the deterioration of the affected areas.
Specialists haven’t established its exact cause, but this condition has been linked to:
- Hereditary factors
- Alcohol consumption
- The changes that postmenopausal women experience.
In addition, poor eating habits and being overweight also act as triggers for gout crises.
Because of this, it’s essential to be aware of some of the foods that can make the symptoms worse and to avoid them as much as possible.
Discover them below!
Foods to Avoid if You Have Gout
1. Red meat
red meat increases the risk of gout, but also causes many complications
This is because it contains a high amount of purines, in addition to components that increase cholesterol levels and the risk of being overweight.
Consuming this type of meat can cause problems in the inflammatory processes of the body, increasing the retention of uric acid and pain.
Shellfish, commonly known as seafood, should be excluded from gout patients’ diets.
Unfortunately, although many of its compounds are healthy, seafood also contains high levels of purines. This is a type of substance that breaks down into uric acid in the body.
This means that seafood can increase the levels of this substance when ingested and worsen inflammation and pain.
This drink increases the levels of uric acid in the body and, to make matters worse, disrupts the processes that eliminate uric acid.
In addition, its compounds directly affect the inflammatory processes of the joints, while increasing rigidity and difficulty of movement.

4. Sugary drinks
Soft drinks and sugary drinks contain corn syrup and fructose, as well as artificial sweeteners that increase the production of uric acid.
Consuming them daily significantly increases your risk of developing metabolic disorders, as well as inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and gout.
In fact, drinking carbonated beverages is linked to the increased tendency to suffer from bone difficulties in adulthood.
whitefish is detrimental to patients with uric acid buildup.
This food contains between 50 and 150 mg of purines, which cause difficulties in the treatment of gout.
These fish include:
- Blue whiting
- Gilt-head bream
However, those who suffer from this gout should limit their consumption of this food. This is because mushrooms increase the concentration of uric acid crystals in the joints.
This food is recommended for those who have anemia, which is caused by a lack of iron. However, it’s not the best dietary option for patients suffering from continuous gout crises.
As with other food sources of animal origin, liver contains a high concentration of purines, which is harmful.
Avoiding the foods mentioned above when treating gout is the key to minimizing and overcoming your symptoms. Instead, we recommend eating foods with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and detoxifying properties that greatly contribute to eliminating this substance.

Electrification of the transport sector in Stockholm puts currently high pressure on the electricity distribution grid for the years to come. Overcoming capacity shortages and keeping up with the delivery of charging infrastructure requires innovative solutions and collaboration between the city and key stakeholders in electrification, such as the distribution system operators and the charging point operators.
One such solution is power steering – essentially meaning power reduction at charging stations whenever a capacity shortage in the electrical grid is forecasted. In Stockholm, this is estimated to occur a few times per year on cold winter days. Ellevio (DSO) has a flexible charging tariff with the remuneration of active steering. Activation of flexible chargers has so far been done by personal interaction. Power steering utilizing processes all the way from the DSO operation center to the charging station has not been tested before and a system that enables the communication between the Distribution system operators (DSO) and Charging Point Owners (CPO) is still not commercially available.
The City of Stockholm together with Ellevio (DSO) and Vattenfall (CPO) tested and validated power steering business case enabled by the Smart Charging and Storage platform, developed by CERTH in the context of the MEISTER project. The pilot was completed in November 2021 and demonstrated on three streets (Kungsgatan, Lindhagensgatan, Västmannagatan) in Stockholm inner city, where public Electric Vehicles charging points are operated by Vattenfall.
Pilot results demonstrated that the Smart Charging and Storage Platform successfully managed the steering requests received from Ellevio and calculated the optimal charging schedules that were then forwarded to Vattenfall, which in turn reduced power at their charging stations on-street. The Smart Charging and Storage Platform was an important tool to migrate DSO and CPO IT structures due to tight time schedules. Organisational issues such as ownership of the platform in the future are also necessary to clarify before the platform can be commercialised. Going forward usage of direct communication between DSO and the CPOs is identified as a solution with standard protocols such as OpenADR.
The pilot has highlighted a clear potential of power steering as a tool for DSOs, CPOs, and cities across Europe in overcoming capacity shortage and keeping up with their electrification targets. All pilot partners see a value in further collaboration.
Results will be available in the upcoming demonstration and evaluation deliverables. Stay tuned!

Team Story Topics
In this section we explore in more detail a number of specific topics that have been highlighted through iMatter and are covered in several of the Team Stories. These would be applicable to large numbers of teams across the organisation.
The Communications Challenge: Finding Solutions
A recurring theme across the Team Stories is around communication and a recognition that getting the team together in a forum where ideas and opinions can be shared is important. Where possible to do, some have seen the value of getting whole teams together in one place:
"The team used to have three bases. It felt as though there were three teams not one…..(now) start the days from just one of the bases and all meet together…Passing on information face to face stimulates more discussion and conversation." NHS Lothian South East Community Midwives
While many Stories talk about the value of face to face meetings, Fife H & SCP Children and Young People's Occupational Therapy Service had to find an alternative solution as they were an integrated team spread across 4 geographical locations. This team has therefore embraced technology and fully utilised online meetings software to enable virtual sessions.
Through video technology and screen/document sharing facilities, the team are able to recreate the face to face meeting environment. This approach has the added benefit of increased efficiency through reduced travel time.
Throughout all of the Team Stories there are examples of how the team are working together more closely, making the most of the skills and experience within the team:
"What we do well: Work together as an adaptable and accommodating team utilising the skills of all of our team members to deliver a good pharmacy service." Golden Jubilee Pharmacy Team
"We have introduced fortnightly pharmacy peer review meetings. This is a chance over lunch for team members to lead a session and share learning." Golden Jubilee Pharmacy Team
"Two members of staff one, one from each award would prepare a team building activity to demonstrate skills and energise everyone prior to our Business Planning session…..The aim being to fully utilise the skills of all the team - communication, negotiation, creativity and have fun together." NHS Health Scotland Awards Team
There are also practical solutions put forward for dealing with the situation when the whole team cannot be together such as splitting the team into two or three sub-groups to workshop action plans and then share the feedback with the wider team.
Vertical Team Integration
There are a variety of examples of how iMatter has enabled teams to identify and address areas for improvement through working together. This has involved using activities such as meetings, huddles and training activities which have the added benefit of enabling junior/trainee staff get to see more of what the seniors do.
"We have adopted an inclusive approach to learning and development, for example our upcoming leadership development workshops "Better Conversations" include leaders and managers from across the H & SCP all learning, reflecting and practicing new skills together. This provides opportunities to build relationships and increase visibility." Inverclyde H & SCP
Several Team Stories talk about various techniques for integrating staff across the team including, staff inclusion in forums and encouraging them to share views with their union representatives.
Cross Team Activity
Several stories focus on the need to build stronger relationships across teams, to improve working relationships and improve the patient experience. This could easily slip into a mindset of 'not my team, not my problem'. However, several teams provide ideas on how to actively improve cross-team collaboration.
One story talks of achieving greater integration with other teams by getting involved through working groups etc. which in turn leads to improved communications:
"A broader knowledge of what is happening across NSS as well as making connections with colleagues working in different areas of NSS." NHS NSS Clinical Dental Team
Another acknowledges the need to work at inter-team relationships and a proactive, solution-focused action plan focuses on addressing the issues head-on.
"There was agreement that these frustrations were likely to always be there unless we tried to do something different. We would need to invest time to try and influence this." South Ayrshire H & SCP Dietetic Team
Team leadership is a topic covered in many of the stories, demonstrating the importance of leadership in achieving team success. The qualities of good leadership are referenced in several Team Stories:
"Our Team Leader's door is always open. He is approachable and makes time to keep staff informed." Scottish Ambulance Service Shotts Station
"Professional leader in our team who we have confidence in to take forward any issues identified." NHS Grampian Programmes Team
"Our team does already have an open honest and professional approach to discussions and very much respect each other's views and contributions to team meetings. We are always listened to by our line management and always made to feel valued in our roles within the team. It was good to discuss the action plan as a team to take forward improvements identified." NHS Grampian Programmes Team
From Team to Individual
Several Team Stories make the transition from team actions to individual accountability, with agreed actions being taken on by individuals in their personal development plans. Once such example from South Ayrshire H & SCP Dietetic team focuses on the need to improve inter-team working.
"Each Dietitian identified their own improvement plan for the individual ward they had identified. This became their service improvement objective which every AHP member of staff was expected to have, as directed by the AHP Associate Director. A report setting out the situation, background, assessment and recommendation (SBAR) was completed by each member of staff and discussed with their line manager at their 3 monthly review." South Ayrshire H & SCP Dietetic Team
The example given was one of a team member carrying out an accurate assessment of the situation and then developing a set of personal development actions to implement that would make it easier for other teams to support them. This particular example not only showed how individual staff are taking ownership of team issues, but also a recognition that there is a collective responsibility to take actions to improve across teams.
Another illustration comes from NHS Greater Glasgow Clyde Sector Acute Division who have actioned a formal structured training programme for nurses that addresses many of the areas included within iMatter.
"The programme incorporates Attendance Management, Delegation skills, Finance, Minimizing Complaints, Managing Difficult Conversations, Recruitment and Selection, Emotional Intelligence, Team Development and Effectiveness, Managing Conduct and Quality Improvement. All key skills identified for being managers and leaders of the future."
The programme has had a positive impact on staff, who feel more empowered. It has also led to identification of further areas to be included in future training.
"Staff reported feeling 'more confident and empowered' for their role. They reported appreciation for the time out and focus given to their development. There was great feedback given that has allowed the course to be further refined and targeted to include resilience and business continuity under difficult circumstances." NHS Greater Glasgow Clyde Sector Acute Division
The Wider Organisation
Whilst the Team Stories are outstanding examples of teams taking ownership of their iMatter results and developing action plans that make a difference, they are typically from the smaller units within the overall organisation. This is reflective of the Action Planning process that starts at individual team level.
However, the areas that perform less well in iMatter, tend to be those that relate to senior management and interactions with the wider organisation.
"It felt like there was a gap that needed bridging between expectations of the organisation and the reality faced by QPS teams and staff." NHS Highlands Quality Programme Service Teams
The reference in this Team Story to 'the gap' highlights the perceived lack of understanding of challenges faced by staff. Improved communication will be key to addressing this 'gap'.
The Team Stories contain two perspectives on senior managers, reflecting the importance of both trust in them and their visibility and accessibility through the organisation. There are examples of senior management teams initiating actions to be more accessible and approachable in their areas.
"I am keen to be much more visible and to meet up with you and your teams over a coffee." NHS Forth Valley Chief Executive Office Team
The approach to this is generally informal and open, which should in turn build confidence and trust among staff. For example NHS Lanarkshire Corporate Management Team have increased Director visibility by sharing names and photos of the team, writing personal blogs and doing 'back to the floor' walk-arounds.
There are also examples of staff exploring ways of getting more access to senior managers:
"We need to share our concerns with senior managers regarding the issues QPS teams faced on a daily basis." NHS Highlands QPS Teams
However, it is notable that in this particular example the reference is to the sharing of concerns, where perhaps there is an opportunity to not only share concerns but also to present suggested solutions.
"The issue of visible senior leadership in the organisation….suggested informal invitations to Directors to join our team meetings….a chance to chat and ask questions of senior managers that we might not interact with otherwise and that's been really positive." NHS Grampian Programmes Team
Some Team Stories do talk of senior management presence at meetings and events, which is certainly an important first step, but it is essential that this attendance is back-up with interaction, openness and action, in order that staff feel truly listened to and supported.
A number of teams have instigated award processes to recognise achievements in areas such as:
- going the extra mile
- providing great care to the team and patients
- brilliant teamwork
They typically acknowledge small achievements, done by individuals - often a simple spoken word or gesture - not expensive, not time consuming but able to make a significant difference.
The recognition/award mechanism is often noted as an engagement process with large numbers of staff getting involved in nominations and award events. This demonstrates that whilst the individual winners love the experience, the wider team also benefits from the positivity.
The comments (below) illustrate this well from NHS Tayside Emergency Department and their focus on recognising and rewarding colleagues.
The NHS Western Isles Physiotherapy Team have a campaign running based on "Our focus is you!" which can be interpreted differently by whoever sees it, be they team members, visitors, patients etc. The recognition mechanism set up acknowledges that patient care and staff appreciation go hand-in-hand
"An appreciation board will be developed which will record these positive messages for all to see. These efforts will not only see improvements within staff morale, but will inevitably see considerable benefits to the patient experience within the Physiotherapy Department." NHS Western Isles Physiotherapy Team
The Ayrshire and Arran Oral Health Dental Diamond Award Programme launched by The Public Dental Services' Oral Health Improvement Team is a great example of how teams can influence and improve staff experience. Their awards programme engages staff interest staff throughout the team. It includes awards in the following categories:
- Care and compassion
- Helping Hand
- Encouraging Word
- Calm in the eye of a storm
- Excellence in humour and entertainment
- Outstanding innovation
The purpose of the awards speak to many of the topics covered in this report.
"Committed to ensuring all our staff feel valued, and recognise the important role they play in the provision of dental care."
This particular story was told through an excellent film introducing the awards to the staff. Click here to view the video. These awards are accessible to all as they are based on ways of working that anyone can deliver. They are in turn celebrated by the nominee, the nominator and all involved in the awards event.

Inverclyde H & SCP
Seeking Further Insight
There are several examples where teams felt they need to explore topics further within their teams. In the example below we can see how staff have been actively involved in the strategic plan development and therefore will feel part of the future of their team and that they are being listened to:
"We are currently co-creating our Strategic Plan with our staff through a staff survey, focus groups to explore our values, vision and priorities, and targeted discussions with groups whose views are traditionally not heard, for example homecare staff and residential care home staff." Inverclyde H & SCP
In this second example focus groups were conducted to get a better understanding of the actions needed. It's notable also that the focus groups themselves will have begun the journey of better communications with the senior team:
"We met again to discuss the focus group finding and these were pivotal in helping us shape our action plan to be taken forward in the coming year with support of our organisational development and communication team colleagues." NHS Lanarkshire Corporate Management Team
NHS Dumfries and Galloway Nithsdale Health and Social Care Locality Management Team carried out a survey on integration and partnership as well as establishing a multi-disciplinary team workforce forum and staff engagement sessions for the wider team.

Multiscale modelling requires the transferral of knowledge gained at different resolutions. Through the use of an expert-driven workflow we have developed reliable pathways for transferring information from quantum mechanics to atomistic and coarse-grained simulations.
The research field of computational chemistry had its beginnings in the early 1900s. However, its widespread use wasn't realized until the last half of the century, coinciding with significant increases in computer power and algorithm sophistication. A useful way to categorize the field is by considering resolution, in terms of both particle size and molecular event time scale. For example, examining the behaviour of electrons interacting with nuclei is best accomplished using quantum mechanics (QM) calculations, while understanding the binding of a ligand to a biological receptor is easily done using atomistic molecular dynamics (AT-MD) simulations. In the last two decades there has been an increased interest in studying systems at multiple resolutions, which is commonly known as multiscale modelling. One of the strengths of multiscale modelling is its ability to provide and link a system's physics at different time scales, thus providing a unique understanding that is otherwise difficult to obtain.
One of our goals is to model chemical and biological systems at different levels of resolution, ranging from QM calculations to coarse-grained MD (CG-MD) simulations as illustrated by Figure 1. A challenging task for all multiscale modelling is to transfer the knowledge gained from one resolution to another. As such, there is an ongoing need for the development of knowledge transfer procedures.
Figure 1: A representative scheme for multiscale molecular modelling. Poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer, or Plexiglas, is shown as a representative molecule.
Consider, for example, our desire to model lipid layers. QM calculations give us insight into the molecular potential energy surface of small lipids. We can also divide lipids into different chemical functionalities (eg hydrocarbons, alcohols) that can be explored using QM calculations, thus providing a better understanding of how these functionalities are coupled within the parent molecule. The resulting knowledge can be transferred to AT-MD simulations through force-field parameterization.
To achieve our goals, we have developed an expert-driven workflow package that allows parameter development to be partly automated. Such a workflow allows the researcher to influence how knowledge proceeds, ensuring that insights gained from QM are effectively transferred to atomistic simulations. The following is a brief outline of the workflow:
1. Reliable QM geometry optimizations are performed, constraining the degree of freedom of interest.
2. A single self-consistent field calculation is performed at a more rigorous QM level (eg including electron correlation) on each optimized geometry, providing more reliable relative energetics.
3. Selected conformations are chosen based on the molecule's potential energy surface; subsequently, additional QM calculations are performed to determine appropriate partial atomic charges.
4. Atom types are assigned to each atom. Molecular mechanics (MM) optimizations are performed, constraining the same degree of freedom as in Step 1.
5. The parameter that corresponds to this degree of freedom is optimized through comparison of the QM and MM relative potential energy curves (ie Steps 1 & 4).
The researcher influences the workflow by deciding, in part, which small molecules are relevant for parameterization (eg alcohols for terms involving the hydroxyl group), which QM levels are appropriate, which conformations are most relevant for computing partial atomic charges, and which conformations are preferentially weighted during parameter optimization. The transfer quality of the QM-gained knowledge to AT-MD simulations ultimately resides in the expertise of the researcher performing the transfer.
Using our workflow package, we have developed a reliable force field called Explicit Torsion Parameters (ExTrM), which uses QM data for parameter optimization and experimental data validation. Our goals for ExTrM are that (i) it is transferable between molecular systems; (ii) only explicit parameter terms are used; (iii) the number of atom types is kept to a minimum, (iv) the parameters are kept as small and close to a chemical meaning as possible; (v) 1-4 nonbonded and electrostatic scaling factors are unused; and (vi) gas- and solution-phase properties can be reproduced. Currently, we have performed over 6000 QM calculations to optimize nearly 200 parameters, covering a wide range of chemical functionalities. We have also shown reliable transferability and reproduction of gas- and solution-phase properties for selected small molecules.
In general, once the parameters have been optimized and validated, they are ready for implementation in an AT-MD simulation. Once finished, the atomistic knowledge gained can be transferred to a CG model. This may be accomplished by optimizing a CG potential to reproduce AT-MD observables (eg radial distribution curves). In collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, located in Mainz (Germany), we are developing the Extensible Simulation Package for Research on Soft matter (ESPResSo++), which is specifically designed for simulating CG models, as well as the necessary tools to transfer the atomistic-gained knowledge to this resolution.
Using the above techniques, we are poised to deliver molecular insight at different resolutions for many molecular and biological systems. Such systems include, but are not limited to, organic compounds, ionic liquids, solvents, drug-like compounds, carbohydrates and lipids. Possible insights include important molecular interactions, thermodynamic properties, density, diffusion rates and toxicity.

If you love a great landscaping project but hate wasting time on things that take too long, then you know that you need to do something about the processes involved. Once inspired, there are many different landscaping design ideas that you can do for your own backyard.
If you have a limited amount of time, it will always feel like an impossible project. But, it should never be a dead end. There are ways to go around the time limit, to help you get the job done sooner rather than later. From an earthmoving plant hire to the use of a spare tarp, here are some time-saving hacks for your DIY landscaping project:
Use a tarp
Yes, you read that right. If you have a lightweight tarp hanging around, or something that resembles it, it will be a great time-saver tool.
It’s simple. Simply pile on all the debris you want to get rid of on the tarp and once complete, you can easily drag it towards your garbage pile. No-fuss and no added expenses, and you’ll be able to dispose of your trash far quicker than if you were to do it all by hand.
Make the most of an earthmoving plant hire
Don’t punish yourself trying to dig up the soil or grass all on your own. The fastest way to get the job done is by using an earthmoving plant hire. You’ll be able to save time from what would have been an entire day’s work and cut it short to just a couple of hours.
Plan according to good weather
Pursue your landscaping renovations during a cold or rainy day, and you’ll find that everything you do will take so much longer than it should to complete. A sunny and warm day, on the other hand, will have things dry or set quick. It’s easier to handle soil if it isn’t that moist, and it’s easier to work under warm and sunny conditions.
Always start early in the morning
You want to have as much daylight time as possible so you can fit as many stages of your project within each day. As soon as the sun is up, you and your gardening tools should be too. It’s easier to get more of your project completed if you’re maximizing the time you have with the daylight.
Get everything prepared before you start
From the plants you’ll use to the materials you’ll need, plan everything ahead of time and have them all prepared before you start working. You’ll save yourself from wasted time looking for or buying things that ran out during the renovation. Have everything prepared and easy to access, and you’ll be able to speed through your tasks.
With enough organization and a few helpful hacks for time-saving, you don’t have to worry about your home renovations taking far too long. For an added tip, if you want new plants in your garden, choose ones that are easy to plant and maintain. This will save you time on having to meticulously place them.

The bodymAPP is a system that encompasses three domains: space, time and movement. Each of these areas contain a number of distinct principles that collectively map a kinetic landscape. These principles summarise and are derived from a close analysis of everyday human movement. As such, it makes them socio-kinetic.
The purpose and function of the bodymAPP is to provide practitioners in the performing arts with an embracive and comprehensive range of movement principles that are easily accessible and available for artistic and improvisation usages. Essentially, it is a movement improvisation tool.
The uniqueness of the system is that it is embodied. Key principles are mapped into, onto and around the human body. This acts, firstly, as a mnemonic device, it being easier to remember a thought, idea or concept if it is attached to or associated with a part of our anatomy and physiology. Secondly, the bodymAPP is immersive. The practitioner resides in the centre of a movement palette arranged like a spatio-anatomical keyboard made up of a network of kinetic concepts and principles.
Structurally, the bodymAPP contains:
- 4 spatial principles
- 7 temporal principles
- 11 kinetic principles
Basically, without going into detail, the spatial principles are:
- S PA C E = degrees of intimacy close/far
- L E V E L S = degrees of status/power high/low
- A N G L E S = degrees of interest facing towards/away
- O P E N / C L O S E = degrees of inclusion/exclusion hot/cold zones
The temporal principles are:
- F L O W
- P U L S E
- G R A D I E N T
- A C C E N T / C L I M A X
- S U S P E N S I O N
- C Y C L E / R E P E T I T I O N (‘motif’ can go in here)
- R E A L / ‘P E R F O R M E D’ (manipulated)
The kinetic principles, using the formal names I’ve given them, are:

Most common mistakes
1. Lack of material guideline
Before starting 3D printing, choosing the right materials in 3D printing is necessary. There is a wide range of material options in 3D printing. It could be nylon, ABS, resin, ceramic and many more.
All the materials have various qualities such as stiffness, brittleness, solidity, flexibility, etc. Thus, during the designing process, it is vital to consider these qualities because in every technology of 3D printing, there is a specific type of material being used.
Take ceramic material as an example. There are specific material-related recommendations that should be considered such as rounding off corners, overhanging parts, etc. Choosing the appropriate printing material presets the basic guidelines in designing.
The material should also be appropriate to the application used to have successful outputs.
2. Incorrect printing technology used
3D printing uses different printing technology depending on the materials used. For instance, materials such as ABS, Alumide and Polyamide are impossible to print together. In this case, various printing technologies are required to make it happen.
For plastic and alumide materials, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology or Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology are used. For resin or wax materials, techniques such as Stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP) and multijet printers are used.
3. Failing to consider the file resolution
The most common file format for 3D printing is STL (Standard Triangle Language). Basically, STL means that the design is rendered into triangles in a 3D space. When providing the STL file, it is important to choose the right resolution for the file. Picking the appropriate resolution will result in a good quality print.
When the file resolutions are too low, it means that the triangles are too big. This will result in a uneven print. Moreover, it will lead to a “pixelated” print.
On the other hand, if the STL file has a very high resolution, it will be difficult to handle and upload the file. Likewise, it may also contain a great level of details that other 3D printers cannot print.
When exporting an STL file, it is advised to choose a tolerance of 0.01mm to have a good export.
4. Faulty STL files
Working with STL files can be a little bit tricky because it represents the outer surfaces of the 3D model which creates the mesh of points, faces and edges and defines the internal volume of the model.
Apart from poor resolution, an error in the STL file can result in problems such as bad boundary edges, intersecting faces, non-manifold edges and over-refined mesh.
To solve this, make sure that the STL files are fixed using an exclusive 3D printing software like Netfabb and Meshmixer. It is also advised to repair the issue in the native CAD software first before exporting it to STL file. Furthermore, see to it that the STL file is correctly designed and exported.
5. Incorrect wall thickness
Wall thickness is defined as the thickness or the distance between the surface of the model and its opposite surface. The model should have a minimum wall thickness at any time.
Incorrect wall thickness can end up with mistakes and issues in 3D printing such as unable to print and items could crack and break off easily. Factors which includes size, alignment and overall design of the 3D model can influence the suggested wall thickness.
6. Machine not properly set-up
Often than not, the reason why there are mistakes in 3D printing is the falure in machine. Problems such as out of filament, nozzles not working, etc. may cause the issues. Therefore, it is important to set up the 3D printer properly before using.
While some 3D printers are pre-calibrated, other printers need to adjust its setting to function well. Make sure to read the instruction manual to set up the equipment correctly beforehand.

The Google Doodle had simple beginnings. In August 1998, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were headed off to the annual Burning Man event in the Nevada desert, and they decided to let the site’s users know that they would be out of the office. So they designed a simple stick-figure man and placed him behind the second “o” in the Google logo. The idea caught on from there, and special events and anniversaries were celebrated periodically with one-of-a-kind logo enhancements. Since then, thousands of Google Doodles have been created for Google's regional and international home pages, with topics ranging from Bastille Day and Chinese New Year to the birthdays of historical and cultural figures such as Isaac Newton and Charlie Chaplin.
Man burns, ideas churn:
- The stick figure eventually led to the creation of a Doodle department at Google, with a team of illustrators and online engineers creating Doodles for amused users around the world.
- Some of the Google Doodles have been animated and interactive, such as the Doodle game that celebrated the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man in 2010.
- Although it is often called a "festival," the organizers of Burning Man describe it as a community and art experiment. The event's organizing principles are radical inclusion, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, gifting, de-commodification, participation, immediacy, and leave no trace

One of the ways we mourn our losses in life is through community and connection with others. We gather for viewings, funerals, and memorials, and we honor our loved ones with shared family traditions.
Sometimes, though—particularly in a peri-pandemic world—that connection and community can be a little bit harder to realize. We can feel alone, lost, and “othered” in our grief.
This can hit harder in the summer when there’s so much pressure to have fun and it seems like everyone else in the world is having the time of their lives while we sit out.
Yet even as we feel disconnected, we don’t have to be disconnected. Whether you stay home in the A/C, hit the beach, or set up camp, you can bring along some portable community in a good book.
There is peace between the pages of a book that can ground you and help you feel seen and understood. So grab a book and consider making reading a part of your path forward through your grief. Here are some recommendations:
Notes on Grief by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
If you’re interested in a personal, non-fiction story, Adichie delivers with her memoir on life, loss, and language, Notes on Grief.
“Notes on Grief is an exquisite work of meditation, remembrance, and hope, written in the wake of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s beloved father’s death in the summer of 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged around the world and kept Adichie and her family members separated from one another, her father succumbed unexpectedly to complications of kidney failure.”
Adichie’s incredible command of language brings understanding to the incomprehensible and offers up words for all of the messy, confusing, and difficult-to-articulate intricacies of loss.
To be understood and to be given the tools to make yourself more understood to others is invaluable during a season of grief, which is why this book is an excellent choice.
Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult
If you’re more interested in fiction and want more of a ‘story’ read, check out Jodi Picoult’s Wish You Were Here.
“In the Galápagos Islands, where Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was formed, Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself—and wondering if when she goes home, she too will have evolved into someone completely different.”
Picoult explores some of the major players in the grieving process—change and isolation. As her protagonist navigates this path against the backdrop of the Galápagos, she guides you along, too, from wherever you may be.
The Grieving Brain by Mary Francis O’Connor
Perhaps you’re looking for something a little more straightforward and educational. If so, pick up The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss.
“Based on O’Connor’s own trailblazing neuroimaging work, research in the field, and her real-life stories, The Grieving Brain does what the best popular science books do, combining storytelling, accessible science, and practical knowledge that will help us better understand what happens when we grieve and how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.”
There is power in knowledge; there is also a great deal of comfort in that power. This is a book for those of us who like to understand the ‘hows and ‘whys’ of the world, including our own inner worlds.
The Grieving Brain also acts as a sort of map through the process of grief, which is similarly empowering and comforting in a chaotic and confusing time.
A Matter of Death and Life by Irvin D. Yalom and Marilyn Yalom
There are two sides to every story. That includes the story of death and grief. A Matter of Death and Life gives us both sides of the story as a wife learns to cope with her cancer diagnosis and her husband begins to move through his grief after her death.
“In alternating accounts of their last months together and Irv’s first months alone, they offer us a rare window into facing mortality and coping with the loss of one’s beloved.”
Written by two incredible people—an acclaimed psychiatrist and an esteemed feminist—this story of love and loss unfolds beautifully and offers readers support and solace between its pages.
Every person has a unique perspective on this universal human experience. You can gain so much from exploring your grief through a well-written book and perhaps you’ll find along the way that there are some things about your experience with loss that you want to express through writing.

Fast Template Expansion (FTE) is a mechanism for fast template inclusions, and consists of a parser function for user input (#fte:) plus various injected internal variables to be used in template replacement. The template itself and its messages/translations reside in the Mediawiki:FTE: namespace, and can be edited by all sysops and translators/sitedesigners.
FTE is to be introduced in IMSLP v1.0alpha in order to allow certain IMSLP contributors to improve on the main page templates/styles without needing to request code changes. Normal Mediawiki templates, used prior to the internalization (converting to parser function) of the three main templates (composer, work, file), provide a similar level of customization, but at the cost of a drastic decrease in site performance and speed, and sometimes the readability of the template itself.
On the other hand, due to the cached nature of FTE templates, they as fast as internal parser functions, but also allows for a great amount of possible change and improvement by certain IMSLP contributors. To achieve this goal each FTE template is divided into two sections:
The variables injected by the vary from template to template, and are code-supported. Thus, valid FTE templates must be specified in the code and no additional templates may be added without code changes. However, due to the relatively stable nature of FTE templates (we don't expect the File template to disappear tomorrow), this is not much of a drawback.

Securing personal identity using blockchain Online publication date: Mon, 07-Mar-2022
by Mohith C. Shekar; H.L. Gururaj; Francesco Flammini
International Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems (IJCCBS), Vol. 10, No. 3, 2022
Abstract: Sharing of identity information is common and is used to avail different kinds of benefits from the organisations. But this process is becoming trustless and complicated because of the involvement of physical documents or sharing through third-party online service providers. To overcome this, the paper proposes a decentralised way of sharing users' identity information with organisations by using blockchain technology. The information stored in blockchain becomes tamper-less and credible. The identity information of the user is tagged with their public key. So, whenever the user wishes to share identity information, they simply share their public key to the organisation and provide access to them. Also, by making use of smart contracts only required information is shared with the organisation for a limited period. This avoids the leakage of identity information.

“Airlines are typically not very strong at information technology,” says Pascal Buchner, chief information officer of the International Air Transport Body (IATA), the world’s airline trade association. Anyone who has had their luggage lost or a trip delayed can attest to this.
However, airlines are wagering that by investing more in technology, they will be able to rectify the situation. “We now know that data is the primary source of airline performance,” Mr Buchner says.
Data – and how all this information is analyzed – has quickly become one of the most significant variables in deciding how an airline functions well, from predictive maintenance, baggage handling, and cargo tracking to staff management and customer loyalty programs.
“A passenger may interact with up to 10 different entities during a single trip, ranging from airlines, government, ground handlers, and at least two airports,” says Jacques Demael, senior vice president of strategy and business support at SITA, an aviation-focused global IT firm headquartered in Geneva.
Mr. Demael claims that the amount of data shared across the sector has “exploded” in recent years. While passengers may not realize it, data plays an important role in ensuring a seamless trip, from communicating travel documents to monitoring baggage traffic between airports.
At St Petersburg’s Pulkovo International Airport, checked baggage is carried into a Rossiya Airlines plane. Getty Images According to SITA, the rate of baggage mishandling has been lowered in half in the last decade.
“The ability to track your bag through numerous points in the route and communicate that information… greatly minimizes the probability that your bag will be mishandled,” Mr Demael says, adding that using baggage tracking data leads to up to a 66 percent improvement rate. “As a result of these advances, the global rate of baggage mishandling has been lowered in half in the last decade.”
Despite the progress, there is still more to be done. According to a 2020 research from SITA, 25.4 million pieces of luggage were mishandled globally in 2019, costing the airline sector $2.5 billion (£1.8 billion; €2.1 billion).
The aviation sector has been devastated by the global pandemic. IATA, on the other hand, predicts that the industry will recover to 2019 levels in 2022, the same year that it is forecast to break even or profit. And, as a result of that recovery, massive volumes of data will be collected.
Real-time data allows airports and airlines to better deploy their resources, allowing gates, checkout counters, and baggage centers to be appropriately manned and unforeseen situations like weather and flight cancellations to be handled quickly.
Mr. Demael believes such data will be especially helpful to travellers in the post-Covid era. Air Canada collects and distributes data to its employees, from frontline workers to executives, using a platform designed by Sisense, a New York-based technology startup.
“We can only improve by measuring, and now we can measure in real time,” says Shaul Shalev, Air Canada’s Manager of Safety Analytics and Innovation.
Data was previously provided via e-mail, alerts, PDFs, and rudimentary dashboards. Now, thanks to modern technologies, Air Canada can quickly deliver information to staff via apps, smart watches, and even immersive 3D settings.
Mr Shalev continues, “It’s all about giving the data to the right people at the right time.” “I can’t ask a user to leave his or her day job, travel to an office, print a PDF, look at a dashboard or the necessary e-mail or bulletin, and then digest the information they require.”
With a few mouse clicks, a passenger can now access a wealth of information about the state of the Air Canada fleet that would have previously taken days to compile. The next phase, he claims, is to be able to spot issues before they happen.
“Imagine if we could tell when a part on an airplane needed to be replaced before it reaches the end of its useful life, or if we could foresee when it will fail and respond accordingly,” he says. “This already exists and is predicated on deteriorated performance over time; our technique will offer greater accuracy, allowing us to choose not only [what] to replace, but also where and when.”
Around 100 systems at American Airlines were condensed into ten to make data in the freight business considerably more manageable. More than 8,000 team members in cargo and airport operations, as well as more than 30,000 consumers, have been impacted by the technology to date.
Jessica Tyler, American Airlines’ President Cargo and Vice President Operations Innovation and Delivery, says, “We’re able to learn more from the level of data we receive based on consumer behavior, shipment performance, and any issues we have that may be repeating.”
“In many circumstances, we can spot patterns and anticipate problems before they impact the shipment’s path.”

SCAN (Simulation Cricket Authority News)
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and in an initiative started in 2006, websites all over the world are going pink to raise awareness.
Simulationcricket.com has also gone pink to help the cause. Australian batsmen Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds use pink grips on their bats, for the same cause.
If you run a website, you can also help raise awareness for breast cancer by altering your templates to appear pink.

The White Place in the Sun (right) by Georgia O'Keeffe (Art Institute of Chicago)
Hurrying toward the Ivan Albright show at the Art Institute of Chicago a few weeks ago, I passed a quartet of paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe and had to pause and smile.
I first saw those paintings, not in a museum, but in an apartment, above a pair of white sofas in Gabriella Rosenbaum's Michigan Avenue high rise.
Rosenbaum had promised to donate them to the Art Institute, and I was sent to find out who she was and why she was giving the paintings. The photographer Robert A. Davis went with me, and we had one of those moments that lives forever in mind.
We were setting up her portrait, and there was the challenge that she was in a wheelchair, while the paintings were high on the wall. So rather than raise her up, Bob simply brought a painting down, abruptly seizing it with both hands, lifting it off its hook, and setting it down on the floor next to her. The room sort of froze at that moment.
"The sound you hear," I said, "is every lawyer at the Sun-Times going like this." And I cocked my head to the side, as if listening for a sound far away.
She died five years after this column ran, in 2000. Her name is very small on plaques by the paintings—plus another, enormous canvas of clouds in a stairway, she had already given—and I thought I'd share a bit of her story today, since it ends with her birthday party, and my birthday is today. There is no better way to celebrate your own birth than to focus on somebody else.
The Nazis didn't get her. The temptations and traps of wealth failed to snare her. Age, which claimed so many of her friends, has been kind to her.
And now, at 90, Gabriella Rosenbaum seems poised to cheat Time itself, creating a legacy which still will be benefitting her beloved Chicago long after she has gone to her well-earned rest.
A woman who shuns the public eye, she nevertheless has affected some of its most revered institutions. The giant Georgia O'Keeffe masterpiece "Sky Above Clouds IV" at The Art Institute of Chicago was donated by Rosenbaum, as was the ARTiFACT wing of the Spertus Museum. Programs at Hull House and elsewhere are funded by her two foundations, which have pumped $ 10 million over the past decade into local philanthropy. She paid for the splendid garden in the park just north of the Drake Hotel.
A visitor to Rosenbaum's Gold Coast home may at first be dazzled by the artwork on the walls -- who could not be impressed by five fantastic O'Keeffes in her living room? Or a lovely Klee? Or an Egon Schiller? Or a Calder?
But sit down and talk to her, and listen to her relate her extraordinary life in her hushed, soft accent, and if the vibrant colors of the O'Keeffes do not precisely dim, they certainly are challenged by another, altogether different radiance.
Gabriella Kramer was born in 1905 in the town of Nitra, in what was then Hungary, in a home that was brimming with artistic endeavor.
"We were three sisters," she begins. "My oldest sister graduated from the Budapest Music Academy. She was a very accomplished pianist -- and when there was any artist performing in Nitra, she was the accompanist, and they would visit our house."
Even then, her family was good at business. They were manufacturing asbestos roofing at a time when most houses were roofed in thatch. They made the first artificial ice machine in the region.
At 16, she went to study art in Vienna: "the town of song and wine."
"I had no head for studies," she says, "but I had an artistic leaning."
From art she became involved in eurythmics, a discipline combining movement and music. She danced. She choreographed dance.
"That was a revelation," Rosenbaum says. "Because for the first time I, a very introverted person, could express myself without being criticized."
Her new confidence helped her meet her husband, Paul Rosenbaum, on a streetcar in 1933. They began to form their life together at the very moment the greater world of European Jewry was about to come apart.
The deteriorating situation began to affect their lives. Gabriella Rosenbaum, now teaching movement and gymnastics at a school she owned, lost the chance of working at the eurythmics headquarters in Munich because she was Jewish. Her husband traveled to America to join his brother Max, who had a successful business operating penny-candy-scale concessions in movie theaters. She credits their partnership as helping them see what was in store for Europe.
"It was my husband and me. That was our marriage -- it was a partnership," she says. "I was a prodigious reader and I knew what was happening. I knew what Hitler meant. So many Jews hoped that they could just somehow get along."
Her escape to join her husband in America was dramatic, almost cinematic. When the Germans partitioned Czechoslovakia, the visas were at the U.S. Embassy in Prague, and she was across the border in Nitra. Gabriella tried to cross with her two daughters, dressed as peasants, but she couldn't convince the guards that she was on her way to sell a goat and was turned away.
They ended up on a sealed train, traveling through Germany, two days before the war broke out. They crossed the border into France on Aug. 29, 1939, the day before the Germany-France border was closed to Jews. The trip is still very much with Gabriella Rosenbaum.
"The children felt the tension as we went by train through Germany," she says. "Everybody was silent. You know how people talk on trains? Everybody was just plain silent. The children sat and were good."
After waiting in France several weeks, they slipped across the Atlantic in the cargo hold of a banana boat. The crossing took 10 days.
The family moved to Chicago's South Side in 1941. Her husband manufactured soda vending machines and developed the first fresh-brewed coffee machine.
She settled into a life of raising her daughters. Her artistic skills were put to use designing posters for the PTA. But in 1964, she was in California when she read an article about an artist who intrigued her -- Georgia O'Keeffe.
"I was looking for something for Paul's 70th birthday," she said. "At the time, Impressionists were in big vogue, and they were very expensive. When I saw her paintings, I said, 'Who is she? That is sensational. I don't have to pay ridiculous prices for Impressionists when we have a painter like her right here.' "
She journeyed to O'Keeffe's studio in New Mexico. She met the artist in her garden, and the two sat and listened to Beethoven together, then had lunch.
"We clicked," says Rosenbaum. "I understood her and she understood me."
Rosenbaum bought three pictures and, later, when she realized that nothing else could quite share wall space with them, two more.
All will end up, eventually, in the Art Institute, where Rosenbaum is credited with, quite quietly, transforming its collection into one of the preeminent holdings of O'Keeffe in the world.
"She is a woman who never emphasizes her own extraordinary breadth of taste," said James Wood, director of the Art Institute. "She was someone who understood the importance of O'Keeffe as an artist, as well as the necessity to keep these works in Chicago. She exemplifies the idea of civic support for the arts. She not only believes in art, but feels strongly about making a contribution back to the city."
At her recent 90th birthday party, in a private room at the swank downtown restaurant Spiaggia, about 100 people gathered to wish Gabriella Rosenbaum well. Ald. Ed Burke read a proclamation from the City Council. Her devoted daughters, Edith and Madge, made a few remarks. Down below, the lights of the garden she donated, in her name and the name of her husband, who passed away in 1982, twinkled brightly in the crisp winter air.

Florida is located in the Southeastern region of the United States. It sits between the Atlantic ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.
The state's position in between two large bodies of water influences many aspects of Florida culture and daily life. Florida melting pot of African, European, Indigenous, Latino, Asian people - with a large Cuban presence.
The Florida Keys are a string of islands that extend deep into the Gulf of Mexico, making them a tropical paradise for residents and tourists.
Our final destination for this epic road trip was Florida's Emerald Coast. Our base of operations was Fort Walton Beach. From there, we explored Destin, Okaloosa, Niceville, Pensacola, and Panama City.
Florida is a large state with many distinct areas. We will need to come back several times to explore places like Tampa, Miami, and the Keys.
Fort Walton Beach
Fort Walton Beach is a small beach town located on the Emerald Coast with beautiful silver sand beaches. It is a major tourist attraction and gets very busy during the summer months.
If you plan to visit during those busy months, you need to make your reservations months ahead of time.
The weather in the Emerald Coast is warm most of the year, with a few rare cold days during winter. The last time it snowed in this area was in 1977.
While talking about Walton Beach, I am including Okaloosa Island and Ocean City because they are all interconnected.
The try-city area is surrounded by several Bayous, the Gulf of Mexico, lakes, creeks, and inland forests. While staying in Fort Walton Beach, we enjoyed visits to the beach, parks, major attractions like the Gulfarium, hikes in the forest, and great dining experiences.
Everyone is right about the weather, of course, but we still had a blast relaxing at the resort and visiting theme parks and attractions.
Orlando is considered the Theme Park capital of the world with 13 major theme parks and a few more adventure destinations. Less than an hour away, you can learn about NASA’s history and achievements at the Kenny Space Center in Cocoa Beach.
We live in Anaheim, California, another major theme park destination, but we still managed to find a lot of new experiences in Orlando, Florida.
This is where the American manned space history happened and is still happening. Visitors get to relive the great moments of the Mercury, Gemini, Appollo, and the Shuttle space programs.
The vast 144,000 acres property houses 700 facilities including launch pads, vehicle assembly, Payload processing, Headquarters, Operations and Checkout, and the Central Instrumentation Facility.
Visitors to KSC start their visit at the visitor's complex and can only see a small portion of those facilities.
As you enter the visitors complex, the first sight you encounter is the Rocket Garden – showcasing rockets that were actually used to launch space vehicles of every kind.

A memorial can be casual or formal. Guests can arrive in jeans. Or they can be dressed in formal black attire. It can be in person, on Zoom, or some combination. There’s no “good” or “bad.”
However, an end-of-life celebration does need some organizing in advance to avoid confusion or even hurt feelings. Everyone in attendance needs to feel they understand what to expect. Family dynamics combined with grief can be stressful enough.
A celebrant is a trusted facilitator during a funeral or memorial. The celebrant is the host you appoint to help those gathered follow your programme. It can be very short (15 min.) or relatively lengthy (90 minutes and up). But, there needs to be a plan. The celebrant can help you draft this programme.
Six Key Tasks for Your Celebrant at the Memorial or Funeral
- Offer words of welcome and provide an overview of how the event will unfold.
- Introduce speaker(s) who offer a eulogy.
- Facilitate symbolic practices such as lighting candles, releasing balloons, laying flowers, and religious or cultural traditions.
- Facilitate an “open microphone” when speakers briefly share a special memory.
- Thank everybody for coming (or introduce an appointed family member to do.)
- Announce next steps to ensure all guests feel confident that they can also leave appropriately. (e.g. where to gather for refreshments or to encourage the signing of a guest book upon leaving, etc.)
Your celebrant will meet with you prior to the funeral or memorial to discuss your family’s ideas. Many families add other elements: music, singing, “words of wisdom” (a poetry reading, spiritual or religious texts), or a movie about the deceased person’s life. Families often wish to engage grandchildren if applicable. The time to discuss such ideas is prior to the memorial so all gathered can focus on celebrating a life well lived.

While writing about the abiding appeal of one-word book titles here recently, I revisited an avatar of the breed, David Gates’s Jernigan. This debut novel, which I’d discovered shortly after it was published in 1991, was even better the second time around – darker, sharper, funnier. The story is narrated by Peter Jernigan, a feckless, alcoholic New Yorker who takes his wife and their doomed marriage across the George Washington Bridge to the beckoning suburbs of northern New Jersey. There, surrounded by barbered lawns and the good life, they sink into a purgatory of booze and acrimony as their marriage and their lives unravel.
While re-reading the book I stumbled on a 1995 New York Times article that argued, persuasively, that Jernigan spawned a new strain of American literature that once would have been a bad joke. This type of novel had been appearing sporadically for many years. but suddenly, after the appearance of Jernigan, it began to gather the force of a sizable wave. Since then the wave has become a tsunami.
We’ll call it The New Jersey Novel.
Though it is one of the most densely populated and lavishly polluted states in the nation, New Jersey is not home to a single place that deserves to be called a city. Camden, anyone? Or how about Trenton, Newark, Elizabeth, Hoboken, Paterson or Piscataway? Or that chancre sore by the sea, Atlantic City? New Jersey also lacks the regional peculiarities that have nourished novelists in other parts of America – the urban thrum of the Eastern seaboard and the industrial Midwest, the magnolia murk and tortured history of the South, the soul-exposing vastness of the big-sky West, the sun-dazed sprawl of southern California. Instead, New Jersey has suburbs like the one Peter Jernigan retreated to, it has shopping malls, office parks, a seashore, some serious slums, and a thruway that slices through the world’s juiciest petrochemical badlands. And, yes, the Garden State also has a few lovely bucolic pockets.
But as David Gates and other novelists began realizing about two decades ago, these shortcomings are, paradoxically, the source of rich fictional possibilities. New Jersey’s lack of defining character traits – its facelessness, its rootlessness, its lukewarmness – make it an ideal portal to get inside the soul of a nation that becomes more faceless, rootless and generic – more soulless – by the day, a nation where regional signifiers have been sanded smooth by interstate highways, franchise restaurants, big box stores, shopping malls, subdivisions, all the strangling, interchangeable links of the corporate chains. In contemporary America, anomie is a moveable feast, and its template was exported from New Jersey.
So what, beyond a New Jersey setting, makes a novel a New Jersey Novel?
“The Jersey novel is all about a fruitless attempt at finding community,” Michael Aaron Rockland told the Times. Rockland was identified as chairman of the American Studies department at Rutgers University and teacher of a class in something called “Jerseyana.” “My whole notion of New Jersey is that we live in a never-never land, where we pretend we’re living on a farm. The real centers of New Jersey are these office parks in the middle of nowhere. Life is not bad in New Jersey, not bad at all, but what every writer writes about is our trying to find a center in our lives.”
For the novelist Mark Leyner, who grew up in Maplewood, “New Jerseyness is a kind of vagueness. It’s peculiarly indeterminate.”
For David Gates, New Jersey and New York City will be forever joined at the hip. From his home in upstate New York, Gates said by telephone, “The reason I set the novel in New Jersey is because I wanted Peter Jernigan to be in the place that’s his worst snob’s nightmare. Many New Yorkers sneer at the bridge-and-tunnel crowd. As part of his scheme for undoing himself, New Jersey would be the place with the least cachet.”
Aside from its lack of cachet, was there something else about New Jersey that spoke to Gates?
“It’s a state where I easily get lost,” he said. “It’s directionless. There’s a kind of vagueness about it. And I was trying to stay away from Cheever’s turf (in New York’s Westchester County).”
Which brings us to the question: Who wrote The Great New Jersey Novel? Here is my list of nominees – personal, random, and no doubt far from exhaustive:
Peter Jernigan lives with his wife and their teenage son in a tract house with an aboveground pool on a quarter-acre of lawn in an unnamed New Jersey suburb. The place’s lack of a name is, in itself, significant. They couldn’t afford anything in Cheever country or farther upstate in New York, and the place they had to settle for is no palace. As Jernigan puts it: “This shitbox house of ours didn’t have any back door – just a blank wall with a couple of small, high windows – so you had to walk all the way around the fucking garage to get into the kitchen through the breezeway. I couldn’t imagine how the people who lived here before could have gone to the expense of putting in a pool – I hope you don’t think we’d put it in – and then not bothered to put a lousy screen door on the back side of the breezeway so you could get out to it. Then again, we’d been here, what, ten years and hadn’t bothered either.”
Like so many of his fellow Garden Staters, Jernigan must make the deadening train commute to a deadening job in New York every morning, then repeat the drill every evening. Here’s Jernigan surveying his fellow home-bound commuters: “All the men looked like me. Human basset hounds in wrinkled suits. Except they were drunk, lucky bastards, from their after-work stop-off at Charley O’s or something. Ties loosened, breathing through their mouths.”
In Jernigan’s New Jersey the indignities can be as big as a split-level shitbox or as small as a trip to buy a gallon of gas for the lawnmower. Here’s Jernigan watching the attendant do his job at a full-service gas station: “Here in the Garden State they actually don’t allow you to be a man and pump your own; some union bullshit…”
This atmosphere of vague disaffection sharpens when Jernigan’s wife dies in a drunken car accident and his son starts dating a disturbed girl. A lot of the kids in Jernigan are disturbed; some are so disturbed they shoot themselves with needles or guns. When Jernigan starts sleeping with the disturbed girl’s mother, a survivalist who breeds rabbits in her basement (for food), his descent hits full throttle. It bottoms out, at least for me, when he goes down to the bunny death chamber, presses the barrel of a pistol to the webbing between his left thumb and index finger, and squeezes the trigger. Why does Jernigan shoot himself? “To see what it would be like.”
What makes the novel great is that it’s rooted in the vivid particulars of its place – the split-level, the pool, the commuter train, the rabbits, the gas station – and then it bursts out of its skin to say something universal about the harsh dignity of surviving, even if the survivor winds up, like Jernigan, in rehab, minus a thumb. Our peculiarly American hero, battered but unbowed, utters the novel’s closing lines during a 12-step group therapy session: “But when it comes around to you, you have to give them something, if only name and spiritual disease. That’s the rule here. So what I’ve figured out is this. I stand up and say: Jernigan.”
Jane Shapiro’s debut novel, After Moondog, appeared a year after Jernigan. But beyond their age and settings, the two novels have little in common. Shapiro’s narrator, Joanne, meets her future husband William on a New York street corner commandeered by a motor-mouthed homeless person in a silver Viking helmet named Moondog. Joanne and William marry, move to the New Jersey suburbs, and raise two children. The reason they did all this, according to Joanne, was to “deepen our sense of stability and own a small green lawn.” Instead they get those durable staples of suburban life: extra-marital affairs and a divorce. We’re a long way from Jernigan’s split-level shitbox and his girlfriend with rabbits and a gun in the basement, but we’re still very much in New Jersey.
Paterson, the inspiration for William Carlos Williams’s masterpiece and the birthplace of Allen Ginsberg, will never be confused with the lush New Jersey suburbs. For this reason, among many others, it makes a fertile backdrop for Junot Díaz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the Dominican diaspora, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which spins around the trials and strivings of a young Dominican nerd who reads Tom Swift and is drunk on comic books and science fiction. Díaz tells the story of his title character (a bastardization of Oscar Wilde) in a breezy, muscular vernacular. It’s a story about the absorption of immigrants into the American middle class, and it’s enriched by a vivid portrait of the monstrous dictator Rafael Trujillo these immigrants left behind in their homeland. It was wise of Díaz not to set his novel in New York City’s better-known Dominican enclaves of Washington Heights or the Lower East Side. What could possibly be a grittier or more generic gateway to the American middle class than Paterson, New Jersey?
Richard Ford’s New Jersey Novel is actually a trilogy – The Sportswriter, Independence Day (the first novel to win both the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Pulitzer Prize), and The Lay of the Land. All three revolve around what goes on inside the head of a New Jersey citizen named Frank Bascombe, a failed novelist who turns to sportswriting and eventually becomes a real-estate agent while weathering the storms of a young son’s death, divorce, cancer, and the quiet dwindling of expectations. Frank Bascombe, like his home state, is a poster boy for the uncelebrated. “Better to come to earth in New Jersey than not to come at all,” Franks says, in what has to be the most left-handed compliment any state ever received. Here’s another of New Jersey’s virtues: “Illusion will never be your adversary here.”
Ford, to paraphrase Emerson, seems to believe that literature consists of what a man is thinking about all day. The life that gets lived inside Frank Bascombe’s head is, in the words of one reviewer, “unassuming, ordinary, sometimes dull.” Perfect for New Jersey.
There has been no shortage of artists mining New Jersey’s marvels, heartaches, and horrors, from William Carlos Williams to Bruce Springsteen, the Feelies, the filmmakers Louis Malle (Atlantic City) and Todd Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse and Happiness), and the writer John McPhee, who in 1968 published a non-fiction classic about the state’s sandy midriff called The Pine Barrens. And let’s not forget Tony Soprano or that adorable posse from Jersey Shore. But if the state has a home-grown laureate, it is surely Philip Roth. No writer has returned more frequently or fruitfully to his New Jersey roots, particularly to working-class Jewish Newark in the years before, during and after the Second World War.
While it would be possible to argue that a handful of Roth’s works qualify as The Great New Jersey Novel, I’m going to single out American Pastoral, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998. Roth’s canvas is vast, ranging from Newark as a thriving industrial city to Newark as a wreck gutted by racism, greed, and fear. We see the bloody fruit of the disillusionment spawned by the Vietnam War, and we come to know the fictional hamlet of Old Rimrock, nestled in one of New Jersey’s lovely bucolic pockets that looks much as it looked before the Revolutionary War, the implausibly pretty place where the novel’s hero, Swede Levov, is robbed of his perfect life.
Rick Moody’s first novel, Garden State, won a Pushcart Prize for its depiction of teenagers coming of age in the 1980s in a northern New Jersey hole called Haledon. They try to form a band, they do drugs, they light themselves on fire, they fall off roofs. It’s all so New Jersey.
The Feelies had a lot to do with the making of this dark novel. As Moody said in an interview (collected in The Pleasure of Influence): “I’ve always revered the Feelies and when I started writing Garden State I listened almost incessantly to this one record called The Good Earth. What I liked about it was it seemed like its ambition was to tell the truth about what it was like for someone in their twenties, sort of rattling around in the suburbs without particular ambitions to get any further than that. So it seemed to be true to me, sort of a true document. And that was what I aspired to do, in a way – add a sort of fictional analog to the record with Garden State.”
So the novel was written under the influence of the Feelies. That explains a lot.
Clockers, set in and around a thinly disguised Jersey City housing project, may be the most anthropological novel ever to come out of New Jersey. Its adversaries are Strike, the black leader of a crew of low-level cocaine dealers, and Rocco Klein, a burnt-out homicide cop looking for a little late-career redemption. Through them – through Price’s dogged reporting – we learn an encyclopedia’s worth of information about the warring tribes of street dealers and cops, their dress, language, working methods, scams, fears, hatreds, and occasional capacity for grace. Strike is a remarkable creation, a teenager who swills Yoo-Hoo to soothe an ulcer as he endures humiliations from every quarter – from his boss, his girlfriend, the cops, and the thing they’re paid to serve and protect: white society. As one reviewer put it, “So much information is disseminated that by the end of the novel the reader feels more or less ready to investigate a homicide or start up a drug operation, or both.” One thing the reader will not be ready to do is move into a Jersey City housing project.
A New Jersey native, the prolific and under-appreciated novelist P.F. Kluge spent the summer of 1962 working as a newspaper reporter in Vineland. The time and place became the backdrop for his atmospheric novel about a band of early Jersey rockers, Eddie and the Cruisers, a paean to the glory days before the British Invasion, before Springsteen and Southside Johnny. The novel was made into a movie starring Tom Berenger and Ellen Barkin.
In his first novel, The Wishbones, Tom Perrotta worked a minor miracle. His 31-year-old protagonist Dave Raymond is fitfully employed as a courier, still living at home with his parents in the New Jersey suburbs, still dating his high-school sweetheart, and moonlighting nights and weekends in a wedding band that gives the book its title. They cover hits from the ’70s and ’80s, including, yes, “Stairway to Heaven.” Dave and his bandmates call each other “Buzzmaster” and “Daverino,” and their lives are suffused with “the unmistakable odor of mediocrity.” And yet – here’s the miracle – Perrotta never condescends to these characters, or their New Jersey milieu, or their stubborn refusal to join the adult world. It’s a remarkable achievement, drawing tenderness out of mediocrity. Few writers have the courage, the compassion or the skill to pull it off.
Perrotta optioned his second novel to the movies before he could sell it to a publisher. Election, which became an Oscar-nominated movie starring Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon, is set in suburban Winwood, New Jersey in 1992 and revolves around the election of a high school president. The election brings out the best in the people of Winwood: raw ambition, back-stabbing, lesbian sex, sex between students and teachers, and, of course, vote stealing. If more people had read the book or seen the movie, that stolen U.S. presidential election in 2000 might not have been quite so shocking.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Princeton University doesn’t belong in New Jersey any more than Richard Nixon did, but there it sits, midway between Philadelphia and New York, an eternal beacon to the sons of daughters of privilege. Nearly a century ago, a Princeton undergraduate set out to make his literary name and woo back a southern belle who had jilted him because he didn’t have enough money. The result was This Side of Paradise (1920), the debut novel that made F. Scott Fitzgerald into an overnight literary star and helped win back Zelda Sayre. Not everyone appreciated Fitzgerald’s knowing portrayal of Princeton’s booze-marinated clubbiness. University president John Grier Hibben sniffed, “I cannot bear to think that our young men are merely living four years in a country club and spending their lives wholly in a spirit of calculation and snobbishness.”
Another novel to come out of Princeton was Geoffrey Wolff’s The Final Club, which has been called “Fitzgerald on fast-forward” because it updates the clubbiness of Paradise to the 1950s. The clubs in question are the university’s so-called eating clubs, otherwise known as fraternities. Wolff’s novel dissects the degrading rituals surrounding admission, while adding a bitter dash of anti-Semitism.
The envelope, please
And the winner is…David Gates. Those bunnies in the basement and the thumb lost to a self-inflicted gunshot wound – they tipped the scales for me.
Of course you’re free to disagree and choose someone else from the list. Or someone who’s not on the list. Or someone most of us don’t know about, but should.

Petroleum engineering program receives accreditation
The University of Houston's petroleum engineering program—started in 2009—has been elevated to a full department within the UH Cullen College of Engineering.
The University of Houston’s petroleum engineering program—started in 2009 with just 20 undergraduate students—has been elevated to a full department within the UH Cullen College of Engineering. The department, which serves about 1,100 undergraduate and graduate students, previously had been a program within the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
Its director, Tom Holley, has overseen its rapid growth. With 968 undergraduate students, it is one of the largest petroleum engineering departments in the nation. Holley said the new status will help in recruiting both faculty and students. Joseph Tedesco, dean of the Cullen College of Engineering, said UH petroleum engineering graduates will help to define the energy future.
"The University of Houston is the nation’s Energy University, and the establishment and success of its petroleum engineering department is vital to the future of the city of Houston, where the demand for engineering talent is higher than in any other major U.S. city," he said. "UH Petroleum Engineering graduates are the next-generation of global, entrepreneurial energy leaders."
The move follows recognition in August by the Accrediting Board for Engineering Technology, which focuses on college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering and engineering technology. Programs aren’t eligible for ABET accreditation until they have been established long enough to produce graduates, and Holley said it earned accreditation on the first try.
In addition, a Ph.D. program in petroleum engineering was approved in April by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. UH long has offered a master’s degree program in petroleum engineering; the undergraduate program was started in 2009 at the request of energy companies who needed graduates for their workforce.
Holley said demand for petroleum engineering degrees remains high, even with lingering low oil prices, with enrollment about 150 students higher than last year.

As ITF President GM Paul Weiler recently addressed the members of ITF organization, the year 2020 marks a special anniversary in the history of the ITF. On April 11, 1955, General Choi, Hong-Hi introduced “his” Taekwon-Do to the public. 65 years ago he made the first step to spread Taekwon-Do worldwide. This was the basis for what International Taekwon-Do Federation represents today. Therefore the President’s appeal was to put the year 2020 under the following motto:
“Taekwon-Do Celebration Year”
What better way to celebrate it than ITF World Cup. In Koper (Slovenia) we will therefore have a great opportunity to remember General Choi life’s work and preserve his legacy throughout the event.

Ava DuVernay, director of the Academy Award-nominated films Selma and 13th, will write and direct a five-episode limited series for Netflix based on the case of the Central Park Five. It is her second production for the streaming platform after the prison documentary 13th.
The Central Park Five were a group of Harlem teenagers falsely imprisoned of assaulting and raping a jogger in Central Park in 1989. 15 years later, their sentences were vacated by DNA evidence and a confession.
“The story of the men known as Central Park Five has riveted me for more than two decades," DuVernay said in a statement. "In their journey, we witness five innocent young men of color who were met with injustice at every turn — from coerced confessions to unjust incarceration to public calls for their execution by the man who would go on to be the President of the United States.”
(In 1989, after the Central Park Five were arrested, Donald Trump spent a reported $85,000 on full-page newspaper ads calling for a return of the death penalty.)
Set to premiere in 2019, the Netflix series will span from the 5's first questioning by police in 1989 to their 2014 exoneration.

Want to know what you need to get free HD channels over-the-air? Besides an HDTV, 3D TV, or 4k TV, you’ll need an antenna (indoor or outdoor) to receive the signals. If you are using an older analog TV (like a tube TV) without a tuner, you’ll need a digital converter that will allow the compressed TV signals to display on your TV. Read on for more details on how to get free HD channels over-the-air.
You’ll want an antenna capable of both UHF and VHF reception. These antennas may look like a combination of both rabbit ears and a circular antenna, or like the ClearStream antenna pictured above. Try to determine whether you need a uni-directional or multi-directional antenna. If the broadcast stations are fairly close to each other, you may be able to use a uni-directional. If the stations are scattered around 360°, use a multi-directional. You can refer to AntennaWeb to locate facilities.
Major networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX all broadcast over-the-air (OTA), as well as other local channels like PBS, The CW, Univision. The high-definition signal, sent simultaneously with the standard-definition (SD) signal, can usually be found on the first sub-channel of the broadcast number. For example, the high-def signal for channel 5 would most likely be 5-1. Other broadcasts, including the SD version and other programming may be found on 5-2, 5-3, etc. Some of the networks are making use of those extra bands, while some of the bandwidth is just being wasted.
Choose an antenna, or experiment with different types, to see which gets the best reception in your house or office. Move the antenna around to see where it picks up the most signals. Obstructions such as brick walls are not going to help your signal strength. If possible, get a rooftop or outdoor antenna that can bypass some of those obstacles. You should also consider choosing between a long-range, medium-range, or short-range antenna depending on how far away broadcast facilities are.
Once you’ve got the antenna hooked up you should have the TV automatically scan for channels. Sometimes scanning for the digital HD signals is the most frustrating part. If you find you don’t have good reception move your antenna and re-scan. Make sure you are scanning for digital channels only, as many tuners will scan for both analog and digital signals. Scanning for analog after June 12, 2009. Try doing this a few times to find the best positioning. For the best positioning of your antenna, refer to DVT.gov for local broadcast facilities and which way to direct your antenna.

Brazil’s coffee harvest brews trouble for Indian exporters
KOCHI: Onset of the harvest season in Brazil, the largest producer of coffee, may hamper the efforts of Indian exporters to step up shipments as several European countries ease the curbs of Covid-19 lockdown. Italy, the largest buyer of Indian coffee, started relaxing the restrictions from Monday much to the relief of the Indian coffee industry.
However, the exporters fear intense price pressure from Brazil which is expecting a normal crop.
“Our exports may start looking up from June. But we may not be able to compete with cheaper Brazilian coffee as our costs are higher,’’ said Ramesh Rajah, president of Coffee Exporters Association.

Crisis during Negotiation of an Agreement
Whether clients are married or cohabiting, separation is an emotional and often stressful time. Once the terms of an agreement have been reached on how the negotiations will proceed -collaborative approach, mediation, or traditional negotiations – from there it’s a matter of gathering all the relevant documentation to prove ownership and value.
What happens when one spouse or partner unexpectedly dies before an agreement has been signed? This blog will offer a few considerations and in no way is this material to be considered comprehensive legal advice.
Time to Grieve
The law often imposes harsh deadlines to encourage decisions to be made quickly. Often these short term deadlines take advantage of recent memories, discourage litigation, and attempt to preserve evidence.
Family-related legislation recognizes that personal relationship while having an economic likeness to commercial legislation, need to be respected given their natural emotional component. It provides a period of six months for the surviving married spouse to decide an important choice.
Grieving takes over flooding the brain with emotion. The rational decision making brain can’t compete with the overwhelming feelings. And that’s a message to take care and allow the bundles of emotions to happen. Fighting it or denying the pain being felt thinking it would be best to make a decision will likely result in a decision regretted later.
Prior Cohabitation Agreement?
Be alert to the possibility that a cohabitation agreement was entered into prior to marriage or common-law partners residing together. The agreement may provide that its terms shall continue if the spouses marry and / or subsequently separate.
There may be clauses in this agreement that describe how property is to be divided if there is a breakdown of the relationship. Read the whole agreement to confirm whether there are provisions in the case where one spouse predeceases the other after separation yet before a divorce is granted.
Married Spouses Make an Election
The Family Law Act in such circumstances, allows a surviving married spouse to choose between two options within six months of the death of their spouse (assuming that there was no prior signed domestic contract between the spouses):
Option 1) accepting the equalization of the net family properties: This is a calculation that equalizes the net value of the assets and debts each spouse owned at the end of the marriage. The calculation includes ownership of the assets and debts crediting property brought into the marriage, excluding specific types of property, and considering a sharing based on contribution to the value of an asset. There may be restrictions on life insurance proceeds or a lump sum pension plan payment. OR
Option 2) if there was a Will left by the deceased spouse: The surviving spouse may accept the bequests as prescribed in the Will. If the Will provides that the beneficiary spouse may receive property from both the equalization of net family properties and under the Will, the survivor is entitled to receive both. If there is no Will, the options to be considered are found in Part II of the
It is strongly advised that anyone finding themselves in this situation should obtain independent legal advice.
Common-law partners do not have the same rights as married spouses. The Succession Law Reform Act applies to two persons “who are married to each other” or “entered into a marriage that is voidable or void…” These are the same words used to define spouses under the Family Law Act.
Common-law partners look to the legal ownership of the property to decide what happens when one partner predeceases the other before a separation agreement is negotiated and signed. When an asset is owned in joint tenancy there is an automatic transfer in the law of the interest held by the deceased to the surviving owner. The survivor will own 100% of the asset upon proof of the deceased co-owner.
There are other avenues to challenge interest in an asset legally held by the deceased partner. See my page on Property Sharing for Common Law Partners. Advancing a provable trust claim can validate the worth of a contribution to an asset. For example where the surviving spouse managed the household, alone raised the children from birth, assisted in operations at her spouse’s family business but did not receive any compensation for her work, she may be entitled to a share of her deceased spouse’s interest in the business.

According to recent findings, the natural process of aging may be responsible for the destruction of the Y chromosome, which results in an increased risk of cardiovascular collapse and also heart disease. In males, there is one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, whereas the majority of women have two X chromosomes. In addition, as men age, the Y chromosomes that are contained in their bodies tend to atrophy and vanish from the various cell types.
After decades of examining the phenomena, experts didn’t find that males who have shed their Y chromosomes tended to have shorter lives until 2014. This discovery came after decades of conducting further research. There is growing evidence that Y chromosomes are linked to a variety of age-related disorders, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and others. This loss, on the other hand, has remained unknown due to the fact that it is not known for certain if it is just a natural consequence of aging like wrinkles or gray hair.
An enormous database consisting of the genetic data of 500,000 individuals from the United Kingdom was analyzed by a team of specialists. More than forty percent of white blood cells in males with Y-chromosome loss were observed to have an enhanced risk of mortality from cardiovascular illness, coupled with a two- or threefold spike in the possibility of death from chronic cardiac failure or heart disease in contrast with men who had not lost their Y chromosomes. To put it differently, those who had the greatest amount of Y chromosomes removed from their genome also had the greatest likelihood of succumbing to heart disease in their later years.
Although the Y chromosome is the smallest and contains few genes, its functions are not fully understood. It has been observed, however, that mosaic loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells frequently occurs with age, and this alteration is associated with various medical conditions. Sano et al. modeled this process in mice by reconstituting their bone marrow with cells lacking the Y chromosome
The removal of Y chromosomes had no immediate effect on the younger mice, but it did cause them to deteriorate over time and cause them to pass away at an earlier age than mice that had their Y chromosomes intact. Fibrosis, a condition in which scar tissue develops in the heart, was more prevalent, as was a more rapid decrease in heart function as a consequence of the created myocardial failure. Both of these conditions were caused by the induced myocardial failure. A drug that reduces the risk of scarring in the heart proved successful in regaining a significant amount of the mice’s lost cardiac function. It was shown that a reduction in the number of Y chromosomes leads to the formation of scar tissue inside the lungs as well as the kidneys, and an increased frequency of cognitive impairment in older mice.

How the Brain’s Default Mode Network May Be Keeping You Stuck
At some time or another, we all feel a little stuck. Whether it’s ruminating over an argument with your boss, or feeling like you keep running into the same problems with friends, this “stuck” feeling might actually be due to the way your brain is wired. Understanding the “default mode network,” or DMN, may hold the key to getting out of the patterns that keep you stuck.
What Is the Default Mode Network?
Scientists first discovered the default mode network (DMN) when studying patterns of brain activation during certain tasks. They realized that when the brain is resting, a specific set of brain regions are active at the same time. DMN activity is negatively correlated with more demanding thinking abilities. For example, when you’re asked to solve a complicated problem, the DMN goes quiet. When your mind is free to wander, the DMN is active again.
Like its name suggests, the DMN is the brain’s default setting. When you respond automatically or do the same thing over and over, your DMN is responsible. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing — automatic responses can be efficient and time saving; however, overactivity of the DMN may be associated with problematic patterns.
DMN Is Associated With Self-Referential Thought
Scientists have found that when you are thinking about yourself, reflecting about your life, or letting your mind wander, the DMN is active. This suggests that the DMN is involved with self-referential thought, particularly as we perform automatic processes.
Observing changes in the DMN gives us further clues about how it may govern behavior. For example, hyperactivity of the DMN has been linked to rumination, depression, anxiety and chronic stress. These disorders are characterized by automatic patterns that are not very adaptive. Increased DMN activity may be related to:
- Mind wandering
- Difficulty concentrating because of too much internal mind chatter
- Chronic tension
- Feeling like you cannot turn off your mind
- Cluttered mind
- Catastrophizing or automatically going to the worse possible scenario
- Having knee jerk reactions to situations
These phenomena are signs that your DMN may be overactivate. When we are overwhelmed with too much information, the DMN keeps us stuck in negative thought patterns and behaviors. Feeling irritable, snapping at a loved one, experiencing anxiety, or ruminating about something that went wrong are all signs that the DMN is overactive.
How to Change Your Default Mode Network Patterns
The most common mistake people make when faced with these situations is thinking, “Well, I can’t change that. My brain is just hooked up that way.” This couldn’t be farther from the truth! It took years of learning for your brain to organize itself in a particular way. Because the brain is so malleable, you can actually rewire your neural circuitry. It simply takes an effort to control your DMN and reframe maladaptive thoughts.
To start, it is important to know if you are an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic person. Think about getting a new game with instructions. Would you prefer to read the instructions yourself (visual); have someone explain the game to you (auditory); or learn through actually playing the game (kinesthetic)? Your preferred style helps to determine what will allow you to combat the harmful overactivation of the DMN. Visual people may look at a wall or something broad, without focusing on anything in particular. Auditory people should pay attention to a mundane, unchanging background sound such as a fan. Kinesthetic people should attend to feelings on their skin.
Now, consider the problem you’re facing. Perhaps you struggled with a big project at work. Write down your thoughts, such as, “That project was too big for me.” “I’m not smart enough.” “My supervisor thinks I’m a failure.” “My boss is going to fire me.” Now, consider how you feel: probably pretty depressed or anxious because of those thoughts.
To break the pattern of DMN activity, ask yourself the following questions: “How can I move forward productively?” “How is my default mode of thinking serving me or my relationships?” “What proof do I have that these thoughts are true?” Actively challenging automatic thoughts helps you learn new ways of responding
Catching your maladaptive thoughts as they enter your mind can help you control DMN activity. After becoming more aware of your maladaptive thinking patterns, use meditation to question assumptions and create a new course of action. Over time, you’ll actually change your DMN to have more productive automatic response patterns, providing the key to getting un-stuck.

Rare earth doped synthetic opals and inverse opals
MetadataShow full item record
Monodisperse spheres of silica and latex were obtained by a surfactant free styrene polimerization and the Stober method respectively. Controlling settling either by centrifugation or by dip-coating colloidal crystals could be obtained. Silica inverse opals were prepared by using the latex colloidal crystals as templates and TEOS/ethanol solution. Eu3+ containing silica spheres were obtained dispersing silica spheres in Eu(NO3)(3) isopropanol solutions. Emission spectra suggest the formation of an amorphous Eu3+ containing phase well adhered at the spheres surface. The utilization of solutions of trifluoroacetates salts of Pb2+ and Eu3+ was observed to destroy the silica spherical pattern when samples are treated at 1000degreesC. In that case nanocrystals of PbF2 and amorphous silica were obtained after heat treatment.

All Christian churches in Taiwan had accepted the underprivileged and homeless people since they were founded. In 2003, however, many churches started to reject the underprivileged and homeless people after the infectious disease of SARS erupted in Taiwan. Six Quaker churches in New Taipei City faced the same problem.
The priests pointed out that their church members no longer went to the churches. Church members were in fear of SARS spread by the underprivileged and homeless people who attended gatherings and agape meals with them. Priest Chen, Hsin-chao of Hai-Shan Church came up with an idea. He worked with six other Quaker churches to establish a church exclusively for the underprivileged and homeless people in order to solve the problem. This is how Grace Home Church came into being.
On November 16, 2003, Banqiao Grace Home Church was founded!
Why the churches are named Grace Home Church? In Taiwan, Jesus Christ is known as Grace to many people. This hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” is noted for its heartfelt lyric, telling us that the grace and love of Jesus is available for us any time…Priest Ho, You-yi of Banchen Church came up with this name “Grace Home”, aiming to encourage the underprivileged to seek help from us notwithstanding their different religious belief. For this reason, we use this name “Grace Home.” Actually, “Grace Home” and “Grace Home Church” are two sides of same coin!
Inspired by the grace of God, Deacon Lee, Chien-lung has assumed the responsibilities of Service Ministry for the Grace Home. He made up his mind to fulfill Jesus’ preachment “the good news is proclaimed to the poor.”
Grace Home Church has set up many churches across Taiwan:
Taipei City: Taipei Grace Home Church, Wanhua Grace Home Church, Nangang Grace Home Church, and Fuxing Grace Home Church
New Taipei City: Banqiao Grace Home Church, Sanchong Grace Home Church, Tucheng Grace Home Church, and Tamsui Gracee Home Church
Taoyuan City: Zhongli Grace Home Church
Hsinchu City: Hsinchu Grace Home Church and Zhubei Grace Home Church
Keelung City: Keelung Grace Home Church
Taichung City: Taichung Grace Home Church
Changhua City: Changhua Grace Home Church
Nantou City: Nantou Grace Home Church
Tainan City: Trainan Grac eHome Churcy and Zhonghwa Grace Home Church
Kaohsiung City: Sanmin Grace Home Church and Qianzhen Grace Home Church
All Grace Home Churches in Taiwan aim to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and at the same time provide relief for the unprivileged. All service stations in Taiwan, from north to south, are linked with the service network to provide free meals, shelters, relief, education and medical services on a daily basis, taking tangible actions to help the unprivileged in a timely fashion.
The service seems to be nothing special, but the unprivileged and the financially stressed families need it desperately. Without the service, they will definitely come to a dead end. The seemingly ordinary service is undoubtedly the only hope for the unprivileged and the financially stressed families.
★ 5 Services For the Unprivileged
All Grace Home Churches in Taiwan spare no effort to provide relief for many, many financially stressed families.
Restricted by official rules and processes, government agencies sometimes are unable to provide the unprivileged with social welfare resources in time.
For this reason, many borough heads resort to Grace Home Church for assistance.
Upon hearing from the borough heads, we immediately provide daily necessities to solve their urgent needs.
Most importantly, we provide the most needed 5 services for the unprivileged, namely, dining together, shelters, subsidies, spiritual supply, and volunteer medical service.
We strive to fulfill Jesus’ preachment “the good news is proclaimed to the poor.”
For the unprivileged and financially stressed families, we provide following services:
(I). Dining together:
The unprivileged is short of food and clothing – the basic daily necessities.
Our service stations provide free lunch and dinner each and every day for the financially stressed families, elderly people, handicapped, disabled persons, one-parent families, the rehabilitated, homeless people, melancholiac, and the economically disadvantaged.
1. We provide free meals to satisfy the basic need of the unprivileged.
2. Once the daily need is satisfied, the unprivileged is no longer hungry and is not motivated to steal other people’s property.
We provide shelters for the elderly persons, unemployed, one-parent families, people with physical and mental disorder, and homeless people bothered by illness.
1. We provide free shelters and free meals for the elderly people, the disadvantaged, people without dependence, and the unemployed. We help them to calm themselves down. Once they calm down, they can decide what to do for themselves.
2. During their stay in the shelters, we provide them with other services such as mental rehabilitation & consulting, free medical service, and employment information. We not only provide shelters for them, but help them reconstruct their lives.
(III) Relief for the financially stressed families:
If the financially stressed families reside in remote areas, we visit them 1-2 times each month and bring cooking oil, rice and side crops to them. If the financially stressed families live nearby the service center, they are welcome to receive living materials personally on the same day of Sunday worships, four times each month.
1. When we visit the unprivileged, we find many people having big problem with their daily lives, but they do not qualify as mid-to low-income households. For this reason, they are unable to receive any assistance from either government agencies or private charity organizations. We provide them with living materials to satisfy their daily needs. If they reside in remote areas, we send them living materials on a regular basis. If they reside nearby the service centers, they receive living materials personally from the service centers.
2. We do not solve problems for “an individual person.” Actually, we solve problems for “a whole family.” We provide food to satisfy the daily needs of the unprivileged families.
(IV) Spiritual supplies:
At Grace Home Church, we share Bible Verse with the unprivileged and teach them to sing the hymns together in order to comfort their minds. Our pastoral staffs visit the unprivileged families either at their homes or in the hospitals. We consistently keep them company, sharing the God’s blessings with each and every one of the physically, mentally and spiritually unprivileged minority.
1. Driven by the power of faith, we help the unprivileged and provide them with spiritual supplies. We feed them and comfort their minds, doing our best to help them find the turning point of their lives.
2. We help the unprivileged to find power from their faith, and with the positive influence and encouragement of their peers, some of the unprivileged start to find the value of their lives. We have seen many successful cases – the recipients regained confidence in their lives and started to help other unprivileged people.
3. We consistently keep them company, doing our best to share with them not only the daily necessities, but the God’s love, blessings and hopes.
(V) Volunteer medical service alliance:
The unprivileged cannot afford to pay medical insurance fee, let alone the huge medical bills. Over the past years, Grace Home Church has worked with private clinics and organized “Grace Home Volunteer Medical Service Alliance.” Grace Home Churches assess the unprivileged people and issue “Grace Home Card” for them to register, visit medical doctors and receive medicines free of charge, allowing the unprivileged people to have access to medical service in the same way as others.
★ Stories about Poverty Alleviation
We have many, many stories about “poverty alleviation.” Every family has to tackle its own problems. Fortunately, we have the God’s love and assistance to help us solve the problems, no matter how desperate the situation is. We thank the God for using Grace Home Church to support the unprivileged and their families and keep company with them. Please join us to show our concern for them……【QRcode】

The first time I cupped coffee, like many, I struggled to understand acidity. I didn’t understand where all the aromas were coming from. And I certainly wasn’t giving accurate scores.
Nowadays, as a Q-grader, I love the experience of cupping coffee – but as a researcher, I’m also interested in objective methods for flavor and aroma analysis that can support the specialty coffee industry.
I’ve been using spectroscopy, chromatography, and chemometrics to research how we can use these scientific methods to produce the same results as a cupping session. In other words, can we link specific chemical compounds to all the aromas and flavors found in coffee? Can we use machinery to map different levels of sweetness, acidity, body, and bitterness in coffee? And can we understand a coffee’s quality from just its molecules?

Combining Scientific & Sensory Analysis
First of all, I do not see this as a competition between sensory and scientific analysis. I’m often asked if we can understand a coffee’s quality without cuppers, or how my research will affect cuppers’ roles. The truth is that science improves our knowledge about cupping – but it doesn’t replace it.
My research is into techniques that are valuable for their speed and precision. They can be used to analyze large volumes of different specialty coffees or suggest quality improvements. They also help us to better understand cupping and coffee quality.

Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy Uncovers Coffee Flavors
My research is based on the use of mid-infrared spectrometers. When we apply the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectra in our sample, it excites molecules. We can then analyze the way light interacts with those molecules, and this in turn provides a spectrum of the chemical composition of a coffee.
This, in turn, can indicate that coffee’s taste and aroma.

For example, we know that volatile compounds are responsible for aroma. Flavor, aftertaste, and body are usually affected by carbohydrates (sugars), proteins, melanoidins (those large molecules that give roasted coffee its brown color and also add texture), lipids (oils), and more. And acidity can be measured by the variation in the composition of organic acids (citric, malic, lactic, tartaric…) and chlorogenic acids (mainly responsible for coffee’s astringency).
With mid-infrared spectrometry, we can see the chemical breakdown of the coffee and understand which flavors will dominate in the cup. It allows us to understand attributes like acidity in a different way. Instead of measuring the feeling on our tongue, or asking ourselves if a coffee is more like mandarin or peach, we can look at the proportions of acids inside the beans.
Of course, our analytical equipment may be accurate enough to map the molecules present in coffee. But everything we know today about, say, volatile compounds and their sensory profiles is thanks to human noses. Science and cupping work together, not against each other.

Cupping By Science: The Benefits
Sensory analysis is a pleasure, but it’s also time-consuming. What’s more, it requires trained professionals. For a small roastery, these points may not be issues. But for large cooperatives, coffee associations, and more, cupping new crops can represent a huge investment of time and personnel. In some regions, cupping new crops can take days of intense work.
Mid-infrared spectrometers are relatively inexpensive pieces of equipment. They require less treatment and sample preparation than other machines for chemical analysis, and can analyze several samples per day.
The big issue, of course, is that this method still requires trained professionals to operate the equipment and interpret the results. These professionals must not only have knowledge specific to this technique but also be good with statistics.
And I must emphasize, again, that this scientific analysis does not change the fact that we also need Q-graders.
However, it can be useful to have a range of analytical techniques, including mid-infrared spectroscopy, that can be applied to coffee quality analysis.

Quality Improvements Based on Science
Moreover, the results open up doors to research and innovation. We essentially create mathematical models capable of predicting the quality attributes of samples. At the same time, coffee associations and producers can build a collection of data on different crops.
Combining these pieces of information, along with data on coffee processing, can allow us to understand the efficacy of small technological or methodological changes in production and processing – and to rule out the impact of other variables.
The scientific analysis of coffee allows us to speak with confidence on the impact of farming practices. We don’t have to rely on correlation, anecdotes, or small sample sizes. We can rule out outliers and more. We can gather information that can be used for further research and analysis.
A scientific analysis of coffee quality based on its chemical composition has the power to support cuppers, roasters, and producers in the constant journey towards better coffee.

Author: Tomás Mendizábal
In late 1995 the government and private entities formed a pioneer organisation in Panamanian culture resource management, to deal with Panamá’s most salient archaeological site, Panamá Viejo. This association, the Patronato Panamá Viejo, was thus commissioned with the investigation and preservation of this 28-hectare site in the centre of modern Panamá City, as well as with keeping the community informed on the progress of the research. It is formed by four partners, the Instituto Nacional de Cultura and the Instituto Nacional de Turismo from the government, and the Kiwanis Club and the Banco del Istmo from the private sector. For the first time, an exclusively Panamanian non-profit organisation would confront this task on a large scale, with a multidisciplinary team of archaeologists, architects, and conservationists, with on-site facilities and laboratories aimed at an in depth study of Panamá’s historic and prehistoric past. This organisation is currently conducting extensive archaeological excavations on the site, protecting the stone monuments from further damage from natural and human elements, and trying to inform and educate the public on Panamá Viejo’s importance to the country’s historical and cultural heritage, and to develop it as a valuable tourist attraction.

Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes have a feature that allows users to qualify measurements made with any of the automatic measurement parameters. In addition to the existing measurement gate, new acceptance qualifiers include range limits and an external waveform gate. This new feature is described graphically in Figure 1.
The existing measure gate is used to select the desired portion of the waveform over which the measurements will be made. After the measurements are made the acceptance qualifiers, either a waveform gate or a range qualifier, are used to select which of the measurements are included in the final readout.
Figure 2 shows an example of a measurement that requires additional qualification. The parameter being measured is the frequency of the waveform on channel 1 (top trace). An expanded view of the waveform in zoom trace Z1 shows that the leading edges of some of the pulses have multiple transitions. The maximum value of the unqualified frequency measurement shown as P1 is 83MHz. The goal is to measure the frequency of the pulse train while ignoring those pulses that have multiple transitions. The 'Accept' tab of the measure dialog box has been set up to accept only those frequency measurements that fall into a range of 0 to 1.5 MHz. The qualified measurement is shown in parameter P2. Note that in this measurement the maximum value is 1.012 MHz. A comparison of the number of values included in each parameter shows that the qualified parameter has rejected five measurements.
Figure 3 shows a range-qualified measurement of an amplitude parameter, peak-to-peak. Note that the range can be set manually or by using the Find Range button on the Accept tab in the measurement setup dialog box.
As in the previous figure, the parameter P1 is unqualified and the parameter P2 is qualified to accept only measurements within the range of 400 mV to 600 mV. Range qualified measurements are very useful in measuring signals in the presence of glitches and other waveform anomalies.
A waveform-gated measurement is shown in Figure 4.
The waveform in trace C2 is used to accept the measurement whenever the waveform is lower the threshold set in the Accept tab of the measurement setup dialog box. In this example the waveform on channel 2 is above the threshold synchronously with the 'runt' pulses. As can be seen in the parameter readout fields, the qualified measurement, P2, reads only the amplitudes of the pulses outside the gating waveform. At the same time the unqualified parameter, P1, shows the value of all the pulses.
Waveform-gated measurements are ideal for measuring signals related to specific events. For example you can measure the values of a signal only when a specific device is enabled, gating with the chip enables line. On a multiplexed signal line or bus you can use waveform gating to separate transmitted and received components by utilizing the read/write gates.
Both range- and waveform-qualified measurements increase the flexibility of Teledyne LeCroy's parameter measurements, giving the user increased control over when and where measurements are taken.

Can You Stain Pressure-Treated Wood?
Just because you used pressure-treated lumber doesn't mean your outdoor project has to stay green. Not only can you can stain treated wood, you should stain treated wood.
How Long Does Pressure-Treated Wood Last?
Staining Treated Wood
Not only can you stain treated wood, painting and staining pressure-treated wood is actually good for your new deck. Although the treated wood doesn’t need to be protected against rot, staining it will help reduce surface cracking.
Types of Green-Treated Lumber
The kind of stain you put on your deck and when you apply it depends on the type and condition of your treated wood. There are three basic categories of green-treated, or Wolmanized, lumber. (Wolmanizing is a patented manufacturing process.)
Wet treated wood: The most common kind is still wet when you buy it. It’ll be noticeably heavier than kiln-dried pressure-treated lumber. It may even “spit” at you when you nail it down. Let this lumber dry out (from a few weeks to six months, depending on the weather and the condition of the lumber) before applying any stain.
Treated wood containing water repellent: Manufacturers sometimes add a water repellent to their lumber. Look for a tag that says Thompsonized or ask the dealer if your lumber is this type. If you buy this type, make sure you use an oil-based exterior stain. Painting pressure-treated wood with a water-based stain won’t adhere well because of the repellent.
Kiln dried pressure-treated lumber: Dry treated wood is ideal because you can confidently stain it right away with either oil- or water-based exterior stains. To recognize it, look for a tag or stamp that says KDAT (kiln-dried after treatment) or ADAT (air-dried after treatment).
When in Doubt, Use an Oil-Based Semi-Transparent Stain
Use an oil-based, semi-transparent exterior stain if you can’t determine how your lumber was treated or what its moisture content is. You can search online to find the best semi-transparent deck stain.
What’s the Best Clear Deck Sealer for Pressure-Treated Wood?
If you’re unsure of the type and condition of the wood, have its moisture content tested by the dealer (less than 12 percent is ideal) and use an oil-based, semi-transparent exterior stain. Solid-color stains and paints don’t usually work as well on the deck floor, because they can peel and are difficult to maintain. You should be able to find stains specifically designed for treated wood decks at most home centers.

Briana TurnerLab Report #2TA: Ryan WoodIntroduction:The purpose of this lab was to estimate Avogadro’s number using stearic acid. Wedropped a precise amount of stearic acid onto the surface of water using a well-calibratedpipette, enough to form a monolayer “cake” of molecules onto the surface of the water.The polar head of the stearic acid molecule and the non-polar end, which sticks awayfrom the water, allows a monolayer to form on the surface of water.From the volumerequired to form a monolayer, the number of drops of stearic acid was counted.Thethickness of the layer was then used to compute the volume of a singular carbon atom,and this value was then used to determine the volume of a mole of carbon atoms used.From this value, we were finally able to estimate Avogadro’s number.Experimental Methods:A 15cm watch glass was cleaned with detergent solution and rinsed with both coldand distilled water. The watch glass was then dried and placed on plain piece of whitepaper. 10mL of hexane was poured into a 50mL beaker. A plastic pipette was used toplace drops of stearic acid into a graduated cylinder. The number of drops required todeliver a volume of 1.00 mL was averaged from four trials. A 10mL graduated cylinder

Jesus will always move away from religious drama and toward the needs of people who are hurting. Jesus will always go out of his way to find and minister to people who others will go out of their way to avoid. I love him for that.
Life is beautiful. Cherish every moment even if you're stressed or hurt or whatnot. There's always tomorrow and it always gets better
Later that night, I held an atlas on my lap, ran my fingers across the whole world, and whispered, ‘where does it hurt?’ It answered, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.
We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.
NOTHING is worth hurting yourself over. NOTHING is worth taking your life over, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!
Some kids are so depressed at home and with how people treat them in school that they cut themselves. This happens all over the world - kids who don't want to kill themselves, but nobody understands how much they hurt, so they cut themselves with razor blades.
Do not die in the history of your past hurts and past experiences, but live in the now and future of your destiny.

Working 9 to 5: The Activism of Women Office WorkersRoundup
tags: films, labor history, womens history, Pink Collar Work
Ellen Cassedy was a founder of the 9 to 5 working women’s organization in 1973. Her new book, Working 9 to 5: A women’s movement, a labor union, and the iconic movie (Chicago Review Press, 2022, foreword by Jane Fonda), is a first-person account of how women office workers rose up to demand their rights beginning in the 1970’s. For classroom discussion questions, visit www.ellencassedy.com.
Ever wonder if it’s safe to bring an artichoke to lunch when you’re trying to convince someone to speak up on the job? Want to know how a Tampax machine can help you make progress at the bargaining table? Did you hear what happened to the boss who ordered his secretary to sew up a hole in his pants while he was wearing them?
All of this is part of the story of the 9 to 5 movement of women office workers – a movement that began almost fifty years ago, when I was a clerk-typist at Harvard University and a group of us got to talking about what bothered us about our jobs. The Boston-wide organization we founded was called 9 to 5, named after the hours of the work day.
In 1973, the 20 million women office workers in the US. economy – people like me – were basically invisible. When people pictured a worker, they saw a man in a hard hat, brandishing a wrench. Yet here we were, and our ranks were growing. Millions of women were flooding into the workforce.
1973 was the great economic tipping point when families began to be worse off than the generation before. As a result of the civil rights movement and the women’s movement, workers had new expectations, new dreams.
We 9 to 5’ers sensed that we had our finger on the pulse of something big. We considered ourselves the heirs of the garment women at the turn of the 20th century, immigrants, teenagers, who went on strike by the tens of thousands and transformed the labor movement. Their slogan was Bread and Roses. Our slogan became Raises and Roses.
Some of us called ourselves feminists; others did not. But we all wanted equal treatment, and we had no lack of things that made our blood boil.
Women earned 57 cents to a man’s dollar. Some of us were doing the same work as men for less pay. Office work sounded like a step up from factory work. But to our surprise, it paid less than factory work – a lot less.
Back then, no one used the term “glass ceiling” – meaning that women could only advance so high before they hit a sometimes invisible limit. But the phenomenon was real. Our jobs were dead-end.
The lack of basic respect was galling. One woman said, “We are referred to as girls until the day we retire without pension.” Many of us were expected to do favors – all kinds of favors – for our bosses.

Jurassic Park was one of the first times I can remember where I wondered what could happen if we went too far with or technological and scientific advancements. Was I the only one? Anyone? Ok, I was an honors nerd and it’s not my fault they forced me to think deeply at a young age. But think about it, how far is too far?
John Hammond wanted to bring a world that had long past to the present for study and pleasure. Of course, there was profit involved but Hammond seemed more like a person who was more interested in what we could discover about our current world from these past creatures, but like Malcolm was trying to tell everyone, all magic comes at a price….wrong show but you get my point. He couldn’t think that if he brought these creatures back that thee wouldn’t be problems, like major problems. Honestly, I think only Malcolm really understood the gravity of the situation. As we see the series progress, we see humans do what they usually do, more so Americans–try to find a way to make a profit. We see people in an amusement, zoo-like environment being able to ride the dinosaurs, watch some of ’em flip out of the water like Willy or Shamu and Chris Pratt’s character, Owen, training them like they’re dogs. Now, we all know, and should have enough common sense to know, that this is now how you treat A DINOSAUR. There is a reason why only certain prehistoric creatures survived. So why risk it? For the love of science? Profit? To see how far we can go, like in Jurassic World when they created a whole new dinosaur (not the greatest idea but who am I?)?
Let me give you another example. Tony Stark. Stark’s industry was weapons. His father didn’t start out that way, per say, but Tony decided to go for the money and evolve his family business into a for-profit weapons business. As he continued to learn in his journey through the MCU, the weapons he created made millions for him but killed millions more around the world. However, the evolution of his tech combined with his genius was able to defeat the greatest villain and threat to mankind that we’ve seen in an action movie yet.
So how fine is this line? Does anyone remember the famous Dolly? The first mammal ever cloned? Do you remember how they took that idea and remixed it in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom? Great idea in theory but in all actuality, it creates a snowball effect.
So what do we do? We can’t stop evolving. Naturally, we have to keep growing and evolving to survive but where is the line and how do we not cross that line too soon or not at all? I enjoy movies that push such a complex idea like this. Avatar, even though I hate that movie and it was time I cannot get back in my life, followed these same lines.
So who’s right? Some may say that if we don’t push those boundaries, then we’ll never know how far we could go, while others may say if we don’t open that Pandora’s box, then we’ll never have to worry about the consequences unless we absolutely have to. I, myself, am a little in between. Maybe we should maybe we shouldn’t. I’d love to see a real-life dinosaur and be able to really find out what happened to them. I would also like to know what happened to King Tut and Queen Hatshepsut but I don’t need to bring them back to life to do that. I saw The Mummy.
What say you? Team Science or Team Caution? Let me know!

Former Vice President Joe Biden this past April predicted that President Donald Trump would try to delay the 2020 election in order to avoid a humiliating loss -- and now the president has proven Biden's prediction to be very prescient.
Trump on Thursday floated delaying the 2020 election until the end of the novel coronavirus pandemic so that Americans could "properly, securely and safely vote."
This came months after Biden told a fundraiser that he believed the president would try to come up with some excuse to postpone the election until a time when the political climate was more favorable.
"Mark my words I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held," Biden said.
At the time, many conservatives attacked Biden for being alarmist and suggested that he was trying to dishonestly instill fears among voters about the president's authoritarian ambitions.
"Former vice president Joe Biden’s unfounded accusation Thursday that President Trump wants to delay November’s election was not only clearly over the line but also unmasks how low the supposedly moderate Biden will go to win," wrote Henry Olsen in the Washington Post.
"Some within Democratic Party circles hold fervently to the idea President Trump will arbitrarily decide to postpone the election," scolded columnist Byron Williams of the Winston-Salem Journal. "This belief fits neatly into a narrative ascribed to the president. As they see it, his penchant for authoritarianism makes him America’s Hitler incarnate."
"Joe Biden is off his rocker to make such an irresponsible allegation without any evidence," wrote GOP Rapid Response Director Steve Guest.
And Trump-defending attorney Jonathan Turley chided Biden for fanning a "conspiracy theory" about Trump delaying the election in a column for The Hill.
"The ultimate conspiracy theory was declared by the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, who warned that he was certain Trump plans to delay the election this fall," Turley wrote. "It is a conspiracy theory utterly without factual or constitutional support, yet his warning was deemed a 'prediction' by Politico in a recent article."
(Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly portrayed columnist Byron Williams of the Winston-Salem Journal as a conservative. Raw Story regrets the error.)

Project Feature: How to Engineer a Stunning Landmark That Serves and Unites a Community
Named one of Architectural Digest’s 12 Most Anticipated Buildings of 2018, the New Central Library is one of Calgary’s most distinctive cultural institutions, with signature design led by renowned international architecture firm Snøhetta.
The library occupies 278,000 ft² and was built over Calgary’s busiest LRT line, which bisects and occupies approximately 40% of the site area. The library’s design emphasizes public accessibility and community-oriented spaces. Within three months of its opening, on November 1, 2018, the library saw more than half a million eager visitors.
Entuitive was retained by Snøhetta and DIALOG, the executive architect, as structural engineering consultants to bring this prime example of transit-oriented development to life.
“We are so proud of our role in the development of New Central Library,” says Ian Washbrook, Senior Associate at Entuitive. “It means so much to us to have been part of a project that has so positively impacted the community. The importance of libraries is self-evident. I can take my kids there. This is why we do what we do.”
A Library That Serves in More Ways Than One: Transit-Oriented Development
Transit-oriented development involves integrating transit lines into new structures. Traditionally these two areas of the built environment remained separate, leaving valuable, potentially needed real estate untouched. Today, creative, collaborative, and advanced engineering allows us to merge the two realms, creating integrated, sustainable cities that work for communities.
Transit-oriented spaces serve as a solution to climate change and energy security by creating walkable communities that reduce the reliance on cars and energy consumption. According to the Transit Oriented Development Institute, this kind of development can reduce the need for driving by up to 85%.
The New Central Library is the first time in Calgary’s history that a building has been constructed directly overtop an active LRT line. An encapsulation structure, essentially an extension to the existing tunnel, had to be designed and constructed before the library building could be erected.
The Entuitive Mindset: Serving Our Clients and Their Vision
The Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC), Calgary Public Library, and the City of Calgary were looking for a structural consultant that had experience with complex projects. But they also wanted to ensure that the day-to-day point person dealing with the project was the right fit and had the right mindset for a culturally significant project with a five-year design and construction schedule.
Entuitive’s experience with large-scale, complex projects, as well as our preparation for the interview with the client secured this project. Our team anticipated client questions and fostered an open, amicable environment throughout the meeting. By staying true to our value of collaboration, we earned the opportunity to work on this incredible project.
Our core values of being creative, collaborative, and advanced were aligned with what the client was looking for in a firm.
“Clients want to be assured that the team is engaged throughout the design and construction stages,” says Washbrook. “They want to know that we’ll be there on site in case of any issues. NCL is a prime example of what happens when we think beyond transactions and simply winning projects. When everyone truly believes in the vision, that’s when you can make a meaningful impact on a city.”
Entuitive’s commitment to advanced technologies, such as parametric modeling and analysis software, also allowed us to quickly investigate multiple concepts for the design of the library. By working collaboratively with all stakeholders, outlining geometric constraints and design considerations, our team ensured the best solution for NCL.
Working with Entuitive
Entuitive is a consulting engineering practice with a client-centric approach based on creativity, collaboration, and advancement. We have decades on knowledge in cultural and transportation projects. Our portfolio includes:

Hey, FDA! Ethnic Americans eat spinach, too
When they sounded the alarm on E. coli-contaminated spinach last week, using the media to put the word out, the FDA did apparently did not properly include the ethnic press.
Viji Sundaram, health editor of New California Media, inquired to the FDA why these outlets were not used to report the outbreak and received this brusque response before being hung up on: "We did an extensive outreach with the national and local media."
The Korean Daily, Ming Pao, The World Journal, and Sing Tao Daily — all newspapers with large circulations, with the latter two read by hundreds of thousands of Chinese Americans each day — were apparently also not addressed by the FDA, nor were scores of other ethnic media outlets across the country.

In October 2009, during a Karenia brevis red tide along the Texas coast, millions of dead fish washed ashore along the 113-km length of Padre Island National Seashore (PAIS). Between November 2009 and January 2010, at least 12 coyotes (Canis latrans) and three domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) died or were euthanized at PAIS or local veterinary clinics because of illness suspected to be related to the red tide. Another red tide event occurred during autumn 2011 and, although fewer dead fish were observed relative to the 2009 event, coyotes again were affected. Staff at PAIS submitted carcasses of four coyotes and one domestic dog from November 2009 to February 2010 and six coyotes from October to November 2011 for necropsy and ancillary testing. High levels of brevetoxins (PbTxs) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in seven of the coyotes and the dog, with concentrations up to 634 ng PbTx-3 eq/g in stomach contents, 545 ng PbTx-3 eq/g in liver, 195 ng PbTx-3 eq/g in kidney, and 106 ng PbTx-3 eq/mL in urine samples. Based on red tide presence, clinical signs, and postmortem findings, brevetoxicosis caused by presumptive ingestion of toxic dead fish was the likely cause of canid deaths at PAIS. These findings represent the first confirmed report of terrestrial mammalian wildlife mortalities related to a K. brevis bloom. The implications for red tide impacts on terrestrial wildlife populations are a potentially significant but relatively undocumented phenomenon.

30-day guitar challenge: Break away from open position rhythm playing and use the CAGED system to discover major and minor chords across the entire fretboard.
The CAGED system makes it easy to access any chord across the neck; here, we’re applying the approach to major and minor chords.
If you already know the five essential open chord shapes C, A, G, E and D, then you are already halfway there, because the CAGED system simply moves these shapes around the neck as barre chords.
Moving between the five shapes will help you create more engaging, interesting and even unusual rhythm parts. The trick is seeing how the CAGED shapes link together, sharing notes on certain frets.
Barre chords have no open strings, and this makes them ‘movable’ shapes, so you can move each shape to any fret and play in any key you wish.
It doesn’t matter if some shapes are tough to play; just don’t fret all the strings and play a ‘partial’ chord.
Start with the open ‘C shaped’ C major chord then ascend the neck to play C chords in the other positions indicated above, first using an ‘A shape’, then a ‘G shape’, an ‘E shape’ and so on.
Strum the full chords first, and then pick each string to check that all of the notes are clean.
Major chords audio
These five shapes are based on openposition minor chord shapes. You do not always start with a C shape; but the sequence of shapes always remains the same.
Here, we start on an Am chord, followed by a ‘G minor-shaped’ Am chord, then an ‘E minor-shaped’ Am chord, and so on.
Minor chords audio
Creative rhythm part
This is a simple two-chord progression based on C and Am chords. The C chord is in bars 1 and 2, but notice that it runs through all five CAGED shapes.
We’ve done the same with Am in bars 3 and 4. Try creating your own parts by moving the CAGED shapes up and down the fretboard to access other keys.

The Sixth Annual Eilat-Eilot Green Energy Conference took place in Eilat earlier this week – and its timing this year couldn’t have been more symbolic. Just outside the city, the feverish efforts continue to contain Israel’s most serious oil spill in some 40 years, in the Evrona nature reserve. The smell of crude oil that permeated the area illustrated the side effects of the use of polluting energy sources.
- The IDF Censor and Israel's Oil Pipeline
- Arbitrators Rule Israel Must Pay Iran $100m Compensation
- Surface Oil Removed From Evrona Spill Site
- Two Palestinians Allowed Into Eilat
- French Jew, Iranian Judge Try to Settle Iran-Israel Dispute
- Eilat Beach to Be Returned to Public
- Israeli Firms Pioneering New Ways to Clean Up Oil Spills
The Eilat conference was among the events connected to Israel Energy Week, which began Wednesday of last week, the day the oil burst out of the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline Company’s pipeline. Participants could only hope that the shock of the sights in the south would lead decision makers to make a greater investment in steps required to reduce Israel’s dependence on crude oil.
Israel today produces only 1.5 percent of the energy it consumes from renewable sources, like sunlight. This is far less than the government objective of 10 percent. The great flowering of solar projects that began six years ago has wilted due to inconsistent government policies with regard to setting rates for solar power and allocating quotas for producing such power.
In the realm of energy efficiency, which is meant to help reduce the demand for polluting fuels, the government is also not keeping its promises. The Infrastructures, Energy, and Water Ministry drew up an efficiency plan that was meant to cut electricity consumption by 20 percent by the end of the decade. Recently, Adam, Teva, V’din (Israel Union for Environmental Defense), contacted the ministry to point out that even though the Energy Sources Law requires that the plan get government approval, nothing had been done about that to date.
The potential for solar energy production in a sun-drenched country like Israel is great. Even if we take into account the concerns of environmental organizations regarding the land use required by solar installations, which might harm areas of scenic and ecological importance, there is still plenty of land and buildings on which such installations can be erected. This week the director of Green Energy Association of Israel, Eitan Parnass, called on Negev mayors to pressure the government to allocate land within their jurisdictions for the production of solar energy. Just as agricultural settlements get land allocations, Parnass said, cities should also be allocated land for green energy production.
According to Yosef Abramowitz, co-founder of the Arava Power Company, a solar energy company, and today president and CEO of Energiya Global Capital, Israel can supply around half of its energy needs from solar energy. In the Arava the local authorities have plans that could lead to all the communities from the Dead Sea region southward to Eilat getting a major part of their power from solar energy fields by 2016. The region already has several such fields.
Israeli entrepreneurs are exploiting the knowledge they’ve accumulated to invest in other countries and help neighboring states. Abramowitz’s company recently inaugurated a facility to produce electricity from solar energy in Rwanda. This installation is in a rural area and could replace diesel fuel, which is expensive and polluting. The profits that accrue from the sale of the power will help fund an orphanage.
“We are killing off diesel anywhere we can,” says Abramowitz. He notes that neighboring states like Egypt and Jordan are also preparing to erect facilities to utilize solar energy.
Abramowitz is also trying to help promote the use of solar energy in the Palestinian Authority. The PA, he says, is now completing the regulatory infrastructure that would allow electricity production from renewable energy sources. It will be possible to generate some 1,000 megawatts of power in the PA areas, which would free the Palestinians from their total dependence on electricity from Israel. Palestinian engineers have been trained to install solar panels at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, located at Kibbutz Ketura, and there is a strong probability that the PA will get help with constructing the required infrastructure from countries like the United States.
While the fields of solar energy and energy efficiency are dragging, neither has there been a breakthrough in the effort to replace crude oil products for transportation. There are a few projects under development, however.
Over the last year the Dan bus cooperative has experimented with an electric bus, and it plans to make widespread use of such buses. The National Program for Oil Alternatives in Transportation, which operates in the Prime Minister’s Office, has finished its preparatory work on regulations for operating buses and heavy vehicles on natural gas. The plan is to start bringing such vehicles to market by next year.
There are also tests being conducted on the use of methanol (alcohol-based fuels) in private cars. This fuel might help Israel reach its ambitious goal of reducing the use of crude-oil based fuels for transportation by 60 percent by 2030.

Peanut butter is used for making tasty sandwiches and healthy snacks. Could a scoop of peanut butter and a ruler become Alzheimer’s diagnostic test?
In October 2013, the peanut butter test (a diagnostic test) was originally reported by researchers from the University of Florida’s McKnight Brain Institute, led by Professor Kenneth Heilman. At the end of their study, the researchers concluded that patients with Alzheimer’s could not smell peanut butter. While studying under Professor Heilman, Jennifer Stamps, a graduate student, discovered that a small dollop of peanut butter and a ruler could save their patients’ lives.
The test aims to detect the early stages of Alzheimer’s. She realized that those with Alzheimer’s disease had difficulty smelling out of their left nostril. While they could smell the fragrance from 20 centimeters away in their right nostril and for the left, it had to be 10 centimeters closer to the nose than for the right nostril.
Before you learn how this test is performed, it’s important to provide you with some useful information about Alzheimer’s disease.
Let’s dive into the details about Alzheimer and how can we use peanut butter test to detect it
Causes of disease:
In 1906 Dr.Alois Alzheimer first identified the disease known as Alzheimer’s disease. It is a progressive, and the most common cause of dementia (a chronic mental process disorder) usually starts slowly and worsens day by day.
People with Alzheimer’s have a deficiency of some important chemicals in their brain. These chemicals help transmit the flow of signals around the brain and when there is a shortage of them, the flow of signals is not transmitted effectively.
It is a neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slow but worsens over time and starts to damage brain cells. For most people, the earliest symptom is not remembering recent events (also called short-term memory loss).
A set of symptoms includes problem-solving ability, language problems, difficulty thinking, mood swings, behavioral issues, loss of motivation, and not managing self-care. As these symptoms develop, the person withdraws himself from family and society. Gradually more parts of the brain are damaged, ultimately leading to death.
The early damage is usually to a part of the brain, which has a central role in day-to-day memory, called the hippocampus. The person may forget birthdays or anniversaries, lose items around the house, forget someone’s name, struggle to find the correct word in a conversation, and much more.
How common is Alzheimer’s disease?
More than 520,000 people in the UK are suffering from this disease. In 2010, around 4.7 million people over 65 years of age were living with Alzheimer’s disease. According to the statistical report from Alzheimer’s Association, there are an estimated 5.3 million Americans affected by this disease, and two-thirds of them are women. An estimated 5.1 million people are age 65, and approximately 200,000 people are below 65.
Every 67 seconds, someone in the US develops the disease.1 in 3 dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Alzheimer’s accounts for between 60% and 80% of all cases of dementia, and as the population of the US ages, it is becoming a more common cause of death.
- An inheritance of genes (having it in the family) is the second biggest risk factor after age
- A certain gene (the apolipoprotein E or APOE gene) puts a person at three to eight times more risk than a person without the gene.
If you are concerned that you may have Alzheimer’s disease (or another form of dementia), you should seek help from your grandparents. An early diagnose offers many benefits: it gives access to treatment and prepares for the future.
Moreover, you’ll need to visit the doctor who will first rule out conditions, such as infections, depression, vitamin, and thyroid deficiencies (from the blood test). The doctors will talk to the person and their family members about their medical history and how their symptoms affect their day-to-day life. A person may be asked to do some mental abilities tests.
Peanut butter test:
The test is very simple and cost-free. People can easily perform at home.
Here’s how the researchers conducted the test. They asked individuals to close their eyes, one nostril, and mouth. After that, they opened a jar of peanut butter and moved progressively closer to each person until they could smell it. They measured the distance first and then waited 90 seconds to repeat the same process with the other nostril.
For those individuals who have Alzheimer, the researchers had to move the jar an average of 10 cm closer to the left nostril compared to the right nostril.
This test is cheap to perform and gives accurate results. However, you must visit the doctor for more professional advice.
Other benefits of peanut butter
- Best for skin whitening
- Best for reducing acne
- Can reduce the risk of heart attack and other diseases
Did you know?
Peanut butter can be applied as a face cleanser because it is packed with vitamin A, E, and oils extremely beneficial for your face. If you don’t get peanut butter at a nearby store, you can also buy dead sea mud for similar results.
In Alzheimer’s disease, the first thing that diminishes is the cranial nerve that controls the smell sense. If a person loses that ability, it could mean that he is experiencing the early signs of the condition. Catching the disease at an early stage gives families and caretakers much more time to prepare for the adjustments.
Alzheimer’s can be torture for everyone suffering from and for their friends and families, so please share the “peanut butter test” to raise awareness. We hope this article has helped you know interesting facts about the peanut butter test for Alzheimer. Stay safe and kind.

In this article I thought I’d try to explain the exception: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control ‘someControl’ accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. This article is a simplification and applies to WinForm and WPF (though samples are for WinForm).
What is the GUI thread?
When an application starts the main thread is called the GUI thread. This thread is responsible for creating and manipulating GUI. This means any change you make anywhere in your application that will touch any GUI-object needs to be done using the GUI thread.
The GUI thread has the following tasks:
- Update the GUI.
Make changes in GUI objects like changing Text in a TextBox.
- Read Windows Message Queue.
The WMQ is where Windows put all messages to the application like key clicked, mouse clicked, mouse moved, etc.
- Repaint the GUI.
Taking the application from “code” to “graphics”.
As you can see from this, if you tie the GUI thread up in any blocking operation or loop then it will not be able to read WMQ (causing Windows to report application as “Not responding” and app won’t respond to any user interaction) and it will not repaint itself (app seems frozen even if you keep updating GUI objects).
Instead of using a closed loop to update something, use a Timer GUI object (found in Toolbox). It is of type System.Windows.Forms.Timer. This will cause the GUI thread to execute your code at certain intervals.
This approach is just plain-out stupid, wrong and did I mention stupid? You can use Application.DoEvents to force WMQ processing and to repaint the application. This is generally considered a very bad practice because it opens up a whole can of problems.
Invoking GUI thread
All GUI objects know what GUI thread they belong to. You can check with them if they need to be invoked, and if so ask them to invoke. Basically what you are doing then is to ask the GUI thread to execute a method. Note that your thread will not wait for GUI thread to finish.
I made a thread safe class that inherits Form which I posted in an earlier blog post. The essence is something like this:
private delegate void GUIInvokeMethodDelegate(Action @delegate);
/// Invoke command with GUI thread. Usage: GUIInvoke(() => FormOrControl.Cmd());
/// <param name="delegate">Command to execute in form: () => Cmd()</param>
public void GUIInvokeMethod(Action @delegate)
// Check if we need to invoke as GUI thread
this.Invoke(new GUIInvokeMethodDelegate(GUIInvokeMethod), @delegate);
} // Execute
// Sample method for invoking some code as GUI-thread
public void DoThisAsGUI()
// Invoke some code (anonymous method)
// Something you want to do in GUI thread.
// Alternatively invoke a method:
GUIInvokeMethod(() => SomeMethodThatRequiresGUIThread());
The main point here is that before doing any modification to the GUI we check .InvokeRequired. This tells us if we are on the wrong thread, in which case we .Invoke the GUI-thread to do our bidding. By using a wrapper like this it is much easier to invoke the GUI thread.

Still linger in our noon of time
And on our Saxon tongue
The echoes of the home-born hymns
The Aryan mothers sung.
And childhood had its litanies
In every age and clime;
The earliest cradles of the race
Were rocked to poet's rhyme.
Nor sky, nor wave, nor tree, nor flower,
Nor green earth's virgin sod,
So moved the singer's heart of old
As these small ones of God.
The mystery of unfolding life
Was more than dawning morn,
Than opening flower or crescent moon
The human soul new-born.
And still to childhood's sweet appeal
The heart of genius turns,
And more than all the sages teach
From lisping voices learns,
The voices loved of him who sang,
Where Tweed and Teviot glide,
That sound to-day on all the winds
That blow from Rydal-side,
Heard in the Teuton's household songs,
And folk-lore of the Finn,
Where'er to holy Christmas hearths
The Christ-child enters in!
Before life's sweetest mystery still
The heart in reverence kneels;
The wonder of the primal birth
The latest mother feels.
We need love's tender lessons taught
As only weakness can;
God hath His small interpreters;
The child must teach the man.
We wander wide through evil years,
Our eyes of faith grow dim;
But he is freshest from His hands
And nearest unto Him!
And haply, pleading long with Him
For sin-sick hearts and cold,
The angels of our childhood still
The Father's face behold.
Of such the kingdom! Teach Thou us,
O-Master most divine,
To feel the deep significance
Of these wise words of Thine!
The haughty eye shall seek in vain
What innocence beholds;
No cunning finds the key of heaven,
No strength its gate unfolds.
Alone to guilelessness and love
That gate shall open fall;
The mind of pride is nothingness,
The childlike heart is all

I've got a fun and different fancy fold card to share with you today! And the great part - it's super easy to make! The outside looks like a normal card, but there's a surprise on the inside.
Graphic 45 Ladies Diary Paper
Hampton Art/Graphic 34 Ladies Diary Stamp Set 3
Spellbinders Dies: Labels 3
May Arts Ribbon 365-2-10
To make the inside of the card, cut a base 10" x 6". You are going to cut two slits in the paper, parallel with the long side of the paper. Measure down and inch and over an inch, and cut an 8" cut.
I think you will understand the cuts and scores more if you look at my diagram. The black lines indicate where to cut and and dotted red lines indicate where to score.
As you can see, you are going to score all the way from top to bottom at the 5" mark. At the 3" and 7" you are only going to score the one inch strips at the top and bottom. The center portion will be scored at 1", 1 3/4", 8 1/4", and 9". The small bands are going to pop out and the larger center section will fold in. Decorate this base as you desire.
Cut a card base slightly larger than the inside (10 1/2 x 6 1/2). Score at 5 1/4. Use Scor-tape to attach the folded paper to the card base, but make sure you only add the tape along the two outer sides, and horizontally along the 1" border just to the first fold on each side. If you glue down any more, the card won't pop out like it is supposed to.
Add your card front, and you are all set!

Boost your immune system with running!
It is the time of holidays and New Year’s resolutions! Unfortunately, however, we are again in this crazy situation of restrictions… But don’t let this stop you from making your resolutions anyway. Pick up running (again), especially in this lockdown!
Especially in this time of restrictions, it is important to keep moving. Exercise is one of the most important ways to improve your immune system and thus your resistance to the coronavirus.
The immune system is your body’s defence system against virus particles, bacteria and other unwanted external influences. Exercising improves the blood circulation in your body. This allows waste products to be discharged more quickly and oxygen and white blood cells to spread through the body more quickly, stopping viruses and bacteria more quickly. If you do not do much exercise or sport, the effect is reversed and your body will take longer to eliminate the viruses and bacteria from your body. You are then more susceptible to the coronavirus.
Enough reasons to set those resolutions and get started! Get enough exercise and start running (again). Not only to improve your resistance, but also to improve your mood and reduce the stress level in your body. All are important to get through this period well!
Be careful not to overload your body. This is because the hormones adrenaline and cortisol are released during exercise. These hormones can cause damage when subjected to a sudden high level of stress, which will prevent the positive effects of exercise on your immune system. So make sure you have a calm build-up and enough time for your body to recover.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says it is reviewing allegations about safety issues at Blue Origin after a former employee and 20 anonymous staff raised concerns in a critical essay published at this link.
Blue Origin’s former head of employee communications Alexandra Abrams and 20 other current employees accuse Jeff Bezos and his space company of creating a sexist, toxic working environment where employees are overworked and safety concerns are rife.
They said safety concerns about Blue Origin’s New Shepard crewed suborbital flight, which took place on 20 July, were dismissed in an atmosphere that discourages dissent and free discussion.
At Blue Origin, a common question during high-level meetings was, “When will Elon or Branson fly?” Competing with other billionaires—and “making progress for Jeff”—seemed to take precedence over safety concerns that would have slowed down the schedule.
In 2020, company leaders demonstrated increasing impatience with New Shepard’s schedule of a few flights per year; their goal, routinely communicated to operations and maintenance staff, was to scale to more than 40. Some of us felt that with the resources and staff available, leadership’s race to launch at such a breakneck speed was seriously compromising flight safety.
In the opinion of an engineer who has signed on to this essay, “Blue Origin has been lucky that nothing has happened so far.” Many of this essay’s authors say they would not fly on a Blue Origin vehicle. And no wonder—we have all seen how often teams are stretched beyond reasonable limits. In 2019, the team assigned to operate and maintain one of New Shepard’s subsystems included only a few engineers working long hours. Their responsibilities, in some of our opinions, went far beyond what would be manageable for a team double the size, ranging from investigating the root cause of failures to conducting regular preventative maintenance on the rocket’s systems.
Requests by managers and employees for additional engineers, staff, or spending were frequently denied, despite the fact that Blue Origin has one of the largest single sources of private funding on Earth. Employees are often told to “be careful with Jeff’s money,” to “not ask for more,” and to “be grateful.” In weekly meetings, we have seen Bezos and CEO Smith frequently broaden the scope of existing projects, sometimes even adding more programs, but without authorizing the needed increase in budget or personnel.
We have seen a pattern of decision-making that often prioritizes execution speed and cost reduction over the appropriate resourcing to ensure quality. In 2018, when one team lead took over, the team had documented more than 1,000 problem reports related to the engines that power Blue Origin’s rockets, which had never been addressed.

The Public Health Agency of Canada’s announced this evening a foodborne illness investigation indicating that the most probable cause of the E. coli O157:H7 illnesses in the Maritimes and Ontario is shredded lettuce distributed by FreshPoint Inc. primarily to some KFC and KFC-Taco Bell restaurants. The products were not distributed to grocery stores.
As a precaution, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is working with FreshPoint Inc. to recall any remaining affected products from these restaurants. At this point, the source of contamination for the shredded lettuce has not been determined. The CFIA has traced the lettuce to its origin in California and has notified U.S. authorities of this finding.
Since the last update, 5 additional cases of E. coli O157:H7 were confirmed in Ontario and 5 in Nova Scotia, as part of this outbreak. This brings the total number of cases to 26. These individuals became ill between late December and early January. The Public Health Agency of Canada continues to lead the coordination of the investigation into this outbreak in close collaboration with its health and food safety partners. There are 6 cases in New Brunswick, 10 in Nova Scotia and 10 in Ontario.
As I said to the Salinas newspaper:
“Recalls usually don’t make sense for leafy greens,” said food safety advocate and attorney Bill Marler. “Lettuce has such a short shelf life that by the time you’ve figured out the cause of the outbreak, the product is long out of the market.”
FDA and self-imposed regulations of California growers have reduced the number of outbreaks in recent years said Marler, but contamination is always a possibility.
“California agriculture has certainly done much better job protecting the public since the spinach E. coli outbreak of 2006,” said Marler. “But there really is no silver bullet for making lettuce perfectly safe.”

The project is a partnership involving the Coalition, the Woodwell Climate Research Center, the Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program, Save The Bay in Rhode Island, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Bristol County Mosquito Control Commission. The team is working with local landowners—the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust (DNRT) and the Town of Fairhaven—on the study.
The technique being tested could reverse losses in some marshes and help guide new restoration projects. The work is critical because salt marshes are not only beautiful but also vital natural resources. Marshes filter out pollution from reaching the Bay, provide habitat for wildlife, and protect homes from flooding. However, increasing stress from pollution and sea level rise is leading to the dramatic loss of many of these critical habitats, which further endangers the long-term health of the Bay.
“We can never fully improve and preserve Buzzards Bay and its water quality, if we stand by as the Bay loses its salt marshes. These marsh habitats play an essential role in sustaining a healthy Bay ecosystem, and over the past two decades, we’ve seen dramatic and accelerating losses of marshlands,” said Mark Rasmussen, president of the Coalition.
Rachel Jakuba, Ph.D., the science director for the Coalition, notes that some of the challenges facing salt marshes come from what are known as interior “die back areas”—places where increasing high tides are leaving more water stranded on the marsh, rather than draining away when the tide recedes. The standing salt water kills marsh plants that are adapted to dry conditions at low tide. In addition, these areas of impounded water create mosquito breeding habitat that can pose public health threats.
“These die back areas threaten the marsh. They expand over time, effectively eating the marsh from the inside out as these areas grow,” said Alice Besterman, Ph.D., the Coalition’s post-doctoral researcher who is coordinating the research of this promising restoration technique to shrink die back areas.
The restoration technique being tested to combat die back areas is known as runnelling, a process in which shallow, channels are dug in the marsh to aid the natural tidal flow and drain impounded water.
“The idea is for the standing surface water to drain out of these die-back areas, which should allow for vegetation to begin growing back, restoring other ecosystem properties,” said Besterman. The strategy has been employed in Rhode Island by project partner Save The Bay, but this marks only the second time it is being tried in Buzzards Bay.
The project team worked with local officials, conservation agents and landowners to evaluate twelve sites for their potential to benefit from runnelling, settling on salt marshes on Allens Pond in Dartmouth and Little Bay in Fairhaven, both of which have multiple die back zones. The pilot runnels were completed at Ocean View Farm Reserve in late October; work at Little Bay will take place the week of Nov. 9.
“The salt marsh here at Ocean View Farm is home to several rare and endangered species,” said Linda Vanderveer, Land Manager for DNRT. “Seeing die back in the marsh is concerning, especially for the wildlife that depend on it for nesting, feeding, and shelter. We are excited to work with the Coalition and all of the project partners to try and restore the health of the marsh not only for the benefit of wildlife, but also so that others may benefit. It’s our hope that the runnelling technique will advance the science of salt marsh restoration on the Southcoast.”
The installation of the runnels takes place partly by hand and partly through the use of a specialized excavator operated by the Bristol County Mosquito Control Commission. The equipment is designed to minimize impact on marsh vegetation. In fact, it exerts less pressure per square foot than a human foot, making it possible to install the runnels quickly and with minimal impact to the environment.
The effect of the created runnels will be assessed as a part of multi-year study, including monitoring on “treatment” areas where runnels have been created, and “reference” areas where no action was taken. Before the runnels could be installed, Besterman and colleagues conducted a months-long study of the salt marshes— including soil composition, water levels, marsh levels, and plant surveys as well as other ecosystem properties. In all, the team gathered 69,000 water level measurements, 680 marsh elevation readings, and vegetation surveys at 400 plots. Gathered data will be used to assess whether and how the technique contributes to strengthening the health of the marshes and which marshes are good candidates for using runnels.
In addition to this project, the Coalition also is conducting long-term monitoring of 11 salt marshes from Westport to Falmouth in partnership with the Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program. “Looking at all of the salt marshes around Buzzards Bay, we have noticed areas of really rapid degradation in recent years. In some places, it’s happening very fast, and we’re trying to understand what factors are involved so that we can develop strategies to slow or reverse marsh loss,” Jakuba said.
Halting the decline of the Bay’s salt marshes not only will help efforts to improve water quality, but it will also protect critical habitat for myriad fish and shellfish species that spawn, grow and live in these areas. Coastal developments will also benefit, as marshes help to absorb the energy of ocean waves and absorb the temporary flooding caused by storm surges.
This project is supported by Southeast New England Program (SNEP) Watershed Grants. SNEP Watershed Grants are funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through a collaboration with Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE). For more on SNEP Watershed Grants, see www.snepgrants.org.

With concerns about climate 'extremes' growing, water is often the focus — either too much or too little. That is no coincidence, as climate and the hydrological cycle are tightly coupled, and water is essential to ecosystems and societies. But it is not just the quantity of water that matters. So does its quality. Impaired water quality is a global and growing problem, limiting resources for drinking, domestic use, food production and recreation, as well as harming ecosystems. Cases of extreme impairment often lead to disproportionate human and ecosystem impacts. Because the most severe water-quality impacts are exacerbated by weather, climate plays a part. Yet there has been scant study of how climate will affect the occurrence of the extreme events that relate to water quality rather than quantity. We do not know how to relate water-quality extremes, their causes, their severity or their occurrence directly to changes in climate. This piece argues that it is time to plug this knowledge gap.
Record-breaking harmful algal blooms and other severe impacts are becoming more frequent. We need to understand why.

(1) Background: Globally, persons with disabilities (PWDs) face numerous challenges including access to healthcare. This scoping review sought to assess the level of inclusiveness in Ghanaian health policies and reports for PWDs;
(2) Methods: An extensive search and scoping review of health policies/reports in Ghanaian government websites and Google was conducted. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for scoping reviews were followed in selecting and reporting the policies/reports. The program evaluation and policy design framework was employed for content analysis;
(3) Results: Fifteen policies and reports with political recognition, objectives, and specific resources needed to execute stipulated plans were included. Although these policies and reports had collaborative partnerships with various institutions and organisations in development and implementation plans, the level of inclusiveness of disability issues was very low. Only eight out of the fifteen policies/reports (53%) reviewed considered PWDs, indicating a low level of inclusion. The definition of disability was also limited.;
(4) Conclusions: To achieve the sustainable development goal of ‘leaving no one behind’ in line with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Right of Persons with Disabilities and the Disability Act 715 of Ghana, it is recommended that subsequent health policies should have an in-depth engagement with PWDs from the conceptual design stage right through to implementation and evaluation.

Ocala Wildlife Management Area
Managed in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service.
Ocala Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is part of the Ocala National Forest, the oldest national forest east of the Mississippi River. The forest contains the largest concentration of sand pine in the world as well as some of the best remaining stands of longleaf pine in central Florida. Its nearly 400,000 acres are located in Lake, Marion, and Putnam counties, and contain several hundred lakes, as well as Salt Springs, Silver Glen Springs, Alexander Springs, and Juniper Springs. Salt Springs and Alexander Springs are part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail.
Add your bird observations to the following eBird Hotspots:
There are many black bears in the area, as well as wild turkey, bald eagles, Florida scrub-jay, white-tailed deer, gopher tortoise, alligators and eastern indigo snake. Look for red-cockaded woodpeckers in the longleaf habitats. Migratory songbirds are seasonally abundant along the wooded trail to Salt Springs. On the drive to Alexander Springs you may see scrub-jays perched on the electric wires.
Swimming, boating, water skiing, kayaking, and paddling are popular activities. Camping opportunities include group sites, RV/tent sites, and primitive camping sites. There are visitor centers, nature trails, and a more than 50-mile section of the Florida National Scenic Trail. The Paisley Woods Bicycle Trail is a challenging 22-mile-long ride through live oak hammocks, grassy prairies, and pinelands. The Ocala One Hundred Mile Horse Trail consists of three sections through sand pine scrub, longleaf pinelands, and grassy prairies. Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands. For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law. All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands. Hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, picnicking, hiking, off-road riding and a shooting range offer additional recreational opportunities. There are also several wilderness areas for visitors seeking primitive conditions and solitude. Of these wilderness areas, Juniper Prairie Wilderness is the only one with foot trails. The other three wilderness areas are mostly inaccessible.
Rules Regarding Dogs
- For purposes other than hunting, dogs are allowed, but must be kept under physical restraint at all times.
- Regulations concerning hunting dogs can be found in FWC's regulations summary brochure.
- Dogs are prohibited in areas posted as "Closed to Public Access" by FWC administrative codes. No person shall allow any dog to pursue or molest any wildlife during any period in which the taking of wildlife by the use of dogs is prohibited.

This paper critiques the 1988 movie "Stand and Deliver", examining the many roles of Jaime Escalantes as a teacher and applying Piaget's and Vygotsky's theories to the character.
From the Paper:"In the acclaimed film "Stand and Deliver", the story of high school math teacher Jaime Escalantes serves as an excellent case study of teaching techniques that produce phenomenal results. Escalantes' methods illustrated that Piaget's theories about how children learn were correct. Piaget asserted that children construct their own knowledge in response to their experiences and are capable of learning many things without adult intervention, being intrinsically motivated to learn, without external rewards to motivate them."

Federal taxpayers are on the hook for nearly $20,000 just to settle each refugee and asylum seeker, who are then immediately eligible for cash welfare, food stamps, housing and medical aid, according to anew report on the “refugee industry.”
The report provided federal budget figures showing that the government spends $19,884 on each refugee the U.S. takes in.
And that number is set to jump if President Obama gets his way and brings in an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees in this year.
The report from the Negative Population Growth Inc. said that the U.S. is currently accepting about 95,000 refugees and asylees. That is in addition to the over 500,000 legal and illegal immigrants coming to the U.S.

NeuroscienceIn the Departments of Biology and of Psychology
Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system. Colby students have the opportunity to study neuroscience from a biological perspective with a focus on cellular, molecular, and physiological processes (a major in biology with a concentration in neuroscience) or from a psychological perspective with a focus on brain and behavior relations (a major in psychology with a concentration in neuroscience). Our philosophy is that sound interdisciplinary work begins with a strong disciplinary foundation; in our view, the biology and psychology programs will serve students well in acquiring this foundation. Students gain analytical skills and tools, are exposed to past and current theories, and have the opportunity to practice thinking about nervous system phenomena at multiple levels.
Majors with concentrations in neuroscience are described in the “Biology” and “Psychology” sections of the catalogue.

Here’s a little fun and info while the storm passes down the Island chain. A good day to stay indoors.
“Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” — Franklin P. Jones
“I got a Valentine’s Day card from my girl. It said, ‘Take my heart! Take my arms! Take my lips!’ Which is just like her. Keeping the best part for herself.”
“Today is Valentine’s Day – or, as men like to call it, Extortion Day!”
“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” — Aristotle “Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.” — Albert Einstein “Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupery “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.” — Shakespeare “I’ve realized that although Valentine’s Day can be a cheesy money-making stint to most people, it’s a day of expressing love across the world. It doesn’t have to only be between lovers, but by telling a friend that you care, or even an old person that they are still appreciated.”
“I have many valentines. My mom and my sister and my directors. I got calls from all of them. And my friends. I respect what Valentine’s Day stands for because it is about love.”
The Legend of St. Valentine
The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?
The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Rapid economic development in recent decades has meant that India, a digitally savvy and English-speaking country, is an increasingly important market for many export-focussed Irish firms.
Demographics are central to the attractiveness of the Indian market. A country with a population of more than 1.4 billion people, India will soon be the world’s most populous. And, by 2025, its growing middle class of more than 300 million people is expected to be the third largest consumer market in the world, according to Boston Consulting Group. India is also young – over half the population is currently under the age of thirty and this has led to a ‘demographic dividend’, where economic growth follows a larger working-age population. Indeed, India has been amongst the fastest-growing economies in the world in recent years, with 8pc forecast GDP growth for 2022.
New data published by Enterprise Ireland shows that exports to India by our client companies reached €127m in 2021. Although Irish export figures to India have grown significantly in recent years, they still represent just a fraction of the true opportunity that exists there. This was underlined at our recent India Ireland Business Seminar in Dublin, where Indian business leaders, corporate executives and academics joined Enterprise Ireland client companies and universities to discuss potential collaboration and partnership opportunities.
India is a dynamic and technologically advanced market. It has the world’s most affordable mobile data, and this has underpinned a huge digital transformation in recent years. Indian government investment programmes, such as the $18bn (€17.7bn) Digital India initiative which aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society, have also played an important role. This is creating clear opportunities for Irish firms, including IT services, fintech, data analytics, mobile and wireless services, business process management and IT consulting. The Indian government is also investing $7.5bn in smart cities initiatives across 100 cities. This points to tangible opportunities for Irish firms with expertise in Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, engineering, cleantech as well as energy infrastructure and management.
Ireland and India share many cultural similarities and it is estimated that there is a 50,000-strong community of Indian-born people in Ireland. While Hindi is the official national language of India and there are 22 other official languages, English is the predominant language of business there and this makes the country more accessible for Irish firms than many other markets.
Companies successfully selling into India have often found that localisation is key. Even the biggest brands in the world must adapt to local cultural norms, traditions and preferences when they go to India. McDonalds, for example, had to devise alternatives to many of their standard menu items that they sell elsewhere and use chicken instead of beef in their sandwiches. Pricing in this value-focused market also deserves special consideration which means sales prices typically need to be significantly lower than in more familiar markets. However, the sheer scale of India means that developing a bespoke market entry strategy is worth the effort.
India is a diverse and complex market. It’s a democracy, but the process of liberalising the economy only began gaining momentum in the 1990s. Business and economic reforms are ongoing and some markets remain protected. There can also be added challenges in the form of red tape and administrative burden in some sectors.
The complexity and scale of the Indian marketplace means that it is vital that Irish companies considering India as an export market work with Enterprise Ireland from the earliest stages. Our market advisors in Mumbai can be the gateway to local knowledge and expert advice which can help to determine if an offering is suited to the Indian marketplace. We can also help to identify potential local partners and distributors – a key success factor in India.

Wondering if you can find time to study alongside work, social life, family, and other commitments? Worried you won’t keep up? That’s understandable.
77% of future students are concerned they won’t have time to keep up with their studies.* Balancing study and life is challenging – but the challenge is worth it. Study can open up new career paths, boost your current career, increase your job satisfaction and salary. Ready to begin? Set yourself up for success by following these three steps to manage your time.
1. Tailor study to your life
Dr Vittoria Grossi from Deakin’s Student Academic Support Services says if you plan your time and priorities, ‘No matter what your competing demands are, it is possible to fit study in.’ The key is to tailor study to suit you.
Make your study mobile and digital
These days you can study anywhere, anytime, thanks to online study. At Deakin you can supplement your on-campus study with online study, or study entirely online at our Cloud Campus. Participate in a class at home, read study materials on the way to work, or chat online with teachers and students.#
Set the pace of your education
Take advantage of flexible study options. Switch between part-time and full-time study as your life changes. Complete your studies faster with intensive study or by taking additional units in Deakin’s Trimester 3. Or put your degree on hold if you need a break.
Try a single unit
See what studying at Deakin is like and whether it will work for you. Enrol in a single unit and then decide whether to continue to a full course. The unit can count towards a degree later.
Combine study with work
Does your work relate to your degree? Pitch study to your boss as professional development. Show how your upskilling will benefit the workplace. Ask for time off to attend uni, or a few hours a week to study during work.
2. Plan your time
Once you’ve found time for study, make it count. Dr Grossi says if you’re returning to study after a break it can be daunting, but take advantage of your life experience. ‘If you’re managing a lot of things – full-time job, kids, social life – that means you’re organised already.’
Get a head start on your studies
Once you enrol, Deakin provides online orientation resources with information, advice and checklists to help you prepare and understand what to expect at uni. You can even get a head start by checking out prescribed reading or resources in the Deakin Library.
Schedule time in advance
When you begin studying, get a clear understanding of the work expected for each unit and when it’s due. Schedule time for assignments, reading and exams. If you’re not clear on expectations, speak to your teachers.
Organise with planning tools
Deakin offers a number of time management planning tools that will help keep your study and personal life on track and prepare you for university study, such as Deakin’s weekly planner.
Assignments and tests due at the same time can be overwhelming, but once I pass those hurdles, I realise I’m studying to improve my ability to help others, which is motivation for me to keep working towards the finish line.
Jamie de Abreu
Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science
3. Access study support
There’s a network of support in place to help you at university. Dr Grossi notes, ‘The key thing is not to get behind, because it all builds up. If something’s not clear, speak to someone as early as possible to clarify.’
Deakin has a dedicated support team to help with every aspect of study. You can talk to someone face-to-face or online about writing assessments, researching, finding resources, planning your trimester and more. They will help you identify pressure points in your calendar and give you tips on managing the busiest times.
Book a mentor meet-up and hear how a fellow student finds time to study, get their advice on study skills or fitting in to uni.You can even have a study session led by a student who has successfully completed your unit.
Deakin’s website has tonnes of valuable resources from assignment planners to referencing guides. Have a good look through Study Support for an essential overview and visit Study Corner regularly for helpful study advice.

American Centuries displays items from the collection of the Memorial Hall Museum and Library in Deerfield, Massachusetts. This museum specializes in 17th-20th century artifacts of the East Coast, and the exhibits cover multiple aspects of historical New England. The website makes its primary appeal to teachers and young students.
A section of the site called "In the Classroom" offers numerous lesson plans for elementary and middle-school teachers, some written by museum employees and some by schoolteachers themselves, using materials in the online exhibits. Searches for lessons can include filters for grade level, historical era, and even subjects integrated into the lesson. For example, one of the lessons found when filtered to integrate World History is "Burial Customs: 19th Century Deerfield and Ancient Egypt". This lesson plan asks students learning about ancient Egyptian culture to compare how preservation techniques and beliefs about the afterlife compare to nineteenth century Massachusetts given a selection of documents and artifacts. Students can compare and discuss cultures across eras and regions.
Even more directly helpful for the young (or old, but impatient) site visitor is the "Highlights" page, which offers artifacts in neatly arranged categories and sub-categories. For example, in the "Children" category one can find images and information in the sub-categories of children's toys, clothing, furniture, schoolbooks, and even children's own handiwork. The individual pages for each artifact all include an icon called "Look closer"; once clicked, this icon opens a second window with a sophisticated zoom feature, offering several different degrees of close-up views for the artifact. This smart device allows site-visitors an even more detailed inspection of the artifacts than they could glean in an actual museum, where exhibits are separated from visitors by glass and several feet of space. Many of these artifacts are so exceptionally well-preserved that the zoom feature is especially pleasurable; we can revel in the joy of inspecting the hand-painted decoration on an 1835 baby carriage, or the careful stitching on a hand-made cloth doll from 1887.
With its easy navigability, superb detail in images and texts, and rich resources for students and teachers, this site is one of the best internet collections available for a range of topics.
This review was originally written for the Children and Youth in History project. It was revised for World History Commons by Daniel Howlett, George Mason University.

Care Guide for Ceramics
The works of our ceramic artisans are carefully handmade one by one, as they value the essence of the clay that comes from the earth. Therefore, even if it is the same design, the size and shape will be slightly different. Please enjoy the individuality and uniqueness of each work. The more you use it, the more the character will deepen. We hope that you will enjoy the changes and make them into more attractive vessels while using them in your home.
Care guide to preserve your vessels beauty and longevity:
- Hand wash with cold or warm water and wipe off moisture from the surface before use each time to avoid stains.
- After use, rinse with clean water and dry well before storing.
- Since pottery is water absorbent, moisture remains in the ceramic even if the surface is dry.
- Moisture, humidity and unwashed food can cause mold and stains so we recommend that you dry it well before storing in a temperate location. We do not recommend washing with a dishwasher as it may cause dishes to collide, chip or crack.
- Extreme temperatures can crack or break the ceramic, please avoid putting the item in a freezer or changing its temperature suddenly, such as pouring hot liquids into a cold ceramic vessel or freezing liquids into a hot ceramic item.
- Do not use item in microwave or oven.

After the death of Solomon, the kingdom is divided for about 300 years. A particularly evil king in the north was Ahab and his wife Jezebel. During this time Israel was not even pretending to worship Yahweh but rather a foreign god Baal.
Into this situation God sends a spokesperson – a prophet – called Elijah (my God is Yahweh). Elijah calls Israel to repent during its darkest days. Elijah’s message is primarily one of judgment – he predicts 3 ½ years in which it would not rain causing famine and the defeat of Israel by foreign armies. Both are covenant curses for disobeying the law of Moses. When the king’s captains come to arrest him, Elijah calls for fire to fall from heaven to consume them.
In 1 Kings 18 there is a great contest between Elijah, the sole prophet of the LORD, and the 450 false prophets of Baal. After hours of whipping themselves into a frenzy through the heat of the day, Baal, the supposed lightning god fails to cause fire to fall from heaven to consume the sacrifice. Elijah mocks Ball suggesting that he might be on a holiday, partially death or going to the toilet. Then in the cool of the evening, Elijah pours water over his sacrifice and the stones before uttering a short prayer in response to which the LORD sends fire from heaven consuming not only the sacrifice but also the stones.
Despite the killing and burying of the false prophets at the northern pass into the land of Israel (a warning to those who might in the future seek to bring Baal worship into Israel) and the lifting of the covenant curse by God sending rain – Israel does not repent.
When Elijah sees that Jezebel will simply kill him, he leaves the northern kingdom, not simply to escape but also to go to Mount Sinai to meet with God. Elijah is not depressed as modern psychologists reading the story paint him. Instead, he is on a mission to Sinai. God even sends an angel to cook him a meal so that he has the energy for the journey.
When Elijah arrives at Sinai, he shelters in the cave there. Presumably the same one from which God had revealed himself to Moses, hundreds of years earlier. As God approaches there is wind, fire, and an earthquake but it is only in a thin silence that God speaks. The meaning is that the powerful God’s coming is accompanied by powerful forces in creation, but God’s actual presence in his word i.e., in what he says that he will do.
At Sinai, Elijah prosecutes Israel for their breaking of the Mosaic covenant in the very place it was established. This is the purpose for which he has with God’s enabling traveled to Sinai. His prosecution is successful, evidenced by God giving a threefold message of judgment against Israel.
In this sense Elijah is typical of the prophets who wrote books of the Bible – they prosecute Israel for their sin and warn of judgment if they do not repent.
But amid these words, God tells Elijah that he has 7000 ordinary Israelite people who remain faithful. It is not that Elijah in his depression says that he is the only prophet left to which God responds by telling him that he is wrong. Elijah is the only prophet left! Israel having killed the others. This and the tearing down of the LORD’s altars was part of the prosecution case to which God rendered a verdict of judgment. What is new here is that not only will God judge Israel for their sins, but he will also redeem a remnant of Israel as a future hope through which he will faithfully fulfil his promises despite Israel’s sin.
This talk of a remnant will lead us to Elisha.
God has spoken by prophets and people are expected to listen to those who speak his word.
Sometimes the false worldviews just need to be called out for what they are e.g., your god is on the toilet.
Sometimes God calls us to repent with a stick (killing the false prophets) and a carrot (the grace of rain).
To be prosecuted for one’s sin and given a guilty verdict of judgment ought to be avoided.
Despite sin running rampant, God will redeem a remnant who will belong to him.

Above: One of the original satirical Mohammed cartoons. Click
the picture to view all 12.
Many people believe that the ''Mohammed Cartoon Crisis'' is old news-- but it is not. The issues it raises-- about the constant attempt of Islamic extremists to limit freedom of speech-- are still relevant.
Just recently a journalist in Belarus was sentenced to three years in prison for printing the cartoons. And Ezra Levant, a Canadian journalist is appearing before Alberta's so-called Human Rights Commission-- for publishing the cartoons two years ago.
Description of the Video:
"Life and livelihood were threatened when a small Danish newspaper chose to print a selection of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad. Karsten Kjaer looks at the events that resulted and travels the world to question the protesters and explore their motivations. He considers whether the cartoons could have affected the future of free speech?"Especially interesting in this video is how it illustrates the incitement behind the riots. Without provocation by radical Islamic leaders the riots would not have occurred.
Also-- it shows quite clearly how often Moslem spokesman engage in the Islamic practice of Taqiyya (deception) --which often takes the form of out right lying.
Often the BBC has some very biased programming. However this production is really quite balanced- really worth viewing.
Watch the video:Learn More:
1. "Forbidden" Images of Mohammed - Merely a Big Hoax? has some really good related links.
2. After the original publication of the cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten they were published (by Moslems) in Al Fager, an Egyptian paper-- with not a word of protest! (It was not until four months later, when some radical Imams decided to embark on a campaign of incitement, that the problems started. The riots were a result of hate-mongering by the Imams-- and not the actual cartoons themselves. However the radical Imams won't admit to this-- and unfortunately most of the politically correct mainstream media in the west goes along with the deception.)

Small Groups in Adult Literacy and Basic Education. ERIC Digest
Traditionally, a one-on-one, individualized approach to instruction has
predominated in adult literacy and basic education (Bingham et al. 1990; Roskos
1990). According to Ennis (1990), this approach has been supported by the
assumption that "confidentiality was a treasured principle...and [it] implicitly
helped sustain the notion that literacy is a private matter, a process of
individuals developing skills for their own personal use" (p. 105). Recently,
the use of groups has been advocated as an effective approach for delivering
adult literacy and basic education. Although support for the use of the small
group approach is expanding, little empirical evidence exists documenting its
effectiveness. However, a growing body of practice-based literature chronicles
the experiences of adult literacy and basic education programs that have used
the small group approach.
This ERIC DIGEST examines the emergence of the small group approach. First,
the rationale underlying the use of groups, including their advantages and
disadvantages, is explored. Next, the characteristics of effective groups are
discussed and some implementation considerations are raised. The DIGEST
concludes with a list of resources that can be consulted for additional
WHY USE SMALL GROUPS?
A number of factors have converged to
stimulate the use of small groups in adult literacy and basic education. A
desire to provide a learning environment that is more learner centered and
collaborative has been a major catalyst for the use of small groups. Advocates
of this approach also suggest that small groups more accurately reflect the
contexts in which adults generally use literacy skills. Use of this approach
acknowledges that literacy is a social process (Bingham et al. 1990; Ennis
Another set of factors promoting the use of small groups is related to the
increased use of language experience or whole language as instructional
approaches in adult literacy and basic education. Because these approaches use
both written and oral language for "personally meaningful purposes while
learning through active processes in the social community of the classroom,"
they use small groups to incorporate personal experiences into adult literacy
development (Roskos 1990, p. 6).
Most proponents of the small group approach do not suggest that it supplant
other approaches; rather they suggest that it be used in combination with
one-on-one and/or large group instruction (Bingham et al. 1990; Ennis and
Davison 1989; Gaber-Katz and Watson 1990). They also acknowledge that the use of
small groups has both advantages and disadvantages.
Major advantages of the small group approach,
synthesized from a number of sources (Adult Literacy and Basic Skills Unit 1982;
Bingham et al. 1990; Cheatham and Lawson 1990; Ennis 1990; Ennis and Davison
1989; Gaber-Katz and Watson 1990), include the following:
allows for integration of critical thinking and other language processes.
Talking, listening, writing, and reading can be interrelated, and the spoken
word can interact with the written word.
creating opportunities for learners to experience and observe the learning of
others, it permits them to expand their repertoire of learning strategies.
breaks down the isolation and stigma frequently experienced by adults with
insufficient literacy skills and provides peer support for their learning.
enhances learners' self-esteem by helping them understand that they have much to
offer as a result of their experiences.
the collective expertise of the group members, it makes available a wide range
of resources, including the thinking, experience, help, and encouragement of
other group members.
eases the distinction between teachers/tutors and learners by creating a
cooperative, participative environment that is less hierarchical than
environments produced by traditional approaches.
Major disadvantages of the small group
approach, synthesized from several sources (Adult Literacy and Basic Skills Unit
1982; Bingham et al. 1990; Gaber-Katz and Watson 1990; and Ottoson et al. 1985),
include the following:
a wide range of needs and abilities is difficult in a small group. Learners may
not only have conflicting goals but also different rates of learning.
needs of individuals in a group have to be reconciled with the needs of the
group as a whole and thus tension may arise between learner-centeredness and a
group-centered or collective approach.
a learner-centered curriculum in a group can be very hard work.
to one-on-one tutoring, a small group requires more preparation time. Ottoson et
al. (1985) suggest it may double preparation time.
learners are simply not comfortable with the idea of group participation.
addition to teaching skills, tutors/teachers also need group leadership skills
for the group to be successful.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE GROUPS?
meeting in a small group does not constitute an effective learning environment.
Cheatham and Lawson (1990) suggest that adult literacy and basic education small
groups often fall into one of four categories: dysfunctional (no participation
from members); leaderless (no exchange of ideas); on-task (willing to talk and
listen but no sharing of meaningful information); and functioning (on-task and
involved). The ideal is functioning because there is a sense of trust and an
expectation that learning will occur. Most groups go through several stages,
however, before they meet the definition of a functioning group.
According to Bingham et al. (1990) effective groups are:
in size, ranging from 5 to 15 learners;
centered, in that they seek to adapt the curriculum to the needs and interests
in that they seek to incorporate learners' experiences, skills, and ideas in the
in that learners commonly help each other and work together; and
in that learners have a say in what is taught and how it is taught, rather than
being passive recipients (p. 2).
In addition, the role of the teacher/tutor is that of a facilitator of
learning and leader rather than that of a person conveying information (ibid.).
WHAT ARE SOME IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS?
Among the many
areas that need to be considered when implementing the small group approach, the
most important are selecting and training leaders, assigning learners to groups,
choosing materials, and assessing learner progress. Not every teacher/tutor may
possess the characteristics or skills necessary to be an effective group leader.
Facilitating a small group requires a willingness to adjust one's leadership
style to the developmental stages of the group. For example, the early stages of
a group's life may demand a more directive style, whereas in later stages a more
participative style would be appropriate (Ottoson 1985). Initial training and
ongoing staff development should be available to support teachers/tutors in
assuming new roles (Roskos 1990).
Making appropriate group assignments for learners is another consideration.
Both situational barriers, such as time and location, and psychosocial barriers,
such as resistance to the idea of participating in a small group, have to be
addressed. One program successfully used a monthly orientation session to
introduce learners to the small group approach (Bingham et al. 1990).
Use of the small group approach will likely require a greater variety of
instructional materials. Because of small groups' learner-centered approach,
published curricula may not fit learner interests. For example, in Eastern
Tennessee, programs use a substantial amount of teacher-prepared materials that
have been developed from learners' interests in conjunction with published
Although assessment of individuals may be required for both diagnosis and
evaluation, those implementing the small group approach may wish to develop
additional, alternative forms of assessing learners' progress. Programs in
Eastern Tennessee use a variety of alternative methods of assessment, including
sustained silent reading in which the learner keeps track of rate of speed; a
portfolio of writing that permits the student to see progress; and
student-developed checklists, charts, or graphs for plotting successful uses of
WHAT ARE SOME RESOURCES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION?
All of the
references listed here will provide additional information about the small group
approach. Adult Literacy and Basic Skills Unit (1982), Cheatham and Lawson
(1990), and Ottoson et al. (1985) contain guidelines for implementing small
groups. Bingham et al. (1990) is based on first-hand accounts of the experiences
of both leaders and learners in the small group approach. In addition to general
information about the small group approach, Ennis and Davison (1989) contains
reports of a variety of small groups that were implemented in Australia. These
descriptions contain examples of instructional materials. The Greater Pittsburgh
Literacy Council (1991) report describes the use of the small group approach in
math instruction. Although the research studies by Gaber-Katz and Watson (1990)
and Roskos (1990) are not specifically about the small group approach, both
contain information that supports the method.

A skateboard requires 8 bearings to run smoothly. Each skateboard wheel requires two bearings. For a safer and better skateboarding experience, you should have the same wheels and the same bearings. Avoid mixing and matching wheels and bearings. If you are trying to cut your expenses on your skateboard, do not compromise your wheels and bearings. Better yet, just purchase from the different best skate bearings and wheels that you can find online.
Table of Contents
Can You Make Your Own Skateboard Bearing?
If you are a professional and you have the right experience and tools, yes you can make your own bearings. Remember though that your bearings can dictate how your skateboard will run. A defective bearing can even cause an accident.
A set of skateboard bearings (8 pieces) costs around $15 to $30 depending on the brand. If you have the budget, it is best to just pick your bearings from a trusted store online or near you.
Skateboard Bearings Buying Guide
As you purchase your skateboard bearings, here are the things that you can consider.
Annular Bearing Engineering Committee or ABEC measures a bearing’s precision and accuracy.
This rating means that the bearing is made of steel of low quality. This is often given to cheap bearings.
These are cheap bearings that you can find on skateboards for beginners.
If you have a budget, an ABEC 5 rated bearings are good. These are intended for skateboards that are used for tricks and sick moves.
Bearings with this rating mean high-quality bearings. It also means expensive bearings.
This is the highest ABEC rating and it if you need speed, you should look for bearings with this rating.
There are two different types of bearings, steel, and ceramic.
Most bearings are made of steel. Popular brands of skateboards use steel bearings. However, the difference lies in the type of steel used, the sealing, and the interior ball bearings used. Remember that when it comes to bearings, the higher the price, the higher the quality. If you want quality steel bearings for your skateboard, you have to pay for it.
How would you know if you skateboard has cheap bearings? When you suddenly stop, you can hear a screeching sound, or your wheels feel like it becomes rigid.
Steel bearings expand over time. When used in a hot condition, it expands and breaks easily. This is something that ceramic bearings can save you from. Ceramic bearings are more durable yet more expensive.
Each wheel comes with two bearings. To distribute the weight on each bearing, a spacer is needed. It is placed between the two bearings. With a good spacer, the life of your bearing is longer. Your run is also smoother. A good spacer and credible bearings can help you have a smoother run.
If you find a good skateboard that comes with a not-so-good spacer, don’t worry. You can easily replace spacers at home.
Speed washers are also known as bearing washers. It is located between the bearing and the nut. The purpose of a speed washer is to make the wheel move and turn faster. While making a trick like rotating around on one wheel, the speed washer of your wheel will protect the bearings from being damaged.
Because of the crucial role of bearings when skateboarding, it is important to use quality bearings only. If you are not a certified bearing maker, it is best to purchase bearings for your skateboard. Do not attempt to repair any damaged bearing. Remember that precaution is better than cure hence it is best to spend $30 on a bearing than hundred of dollars in the hospital in case an accident happens.

It is estimated that one million women have left the workplace due to struggling with menopause symptoms. Many others reduce their hours or pass up promotions. Despite those over the age of 51 being the fastest growing demographic in the workplace, evidence shows that support can be lacking due to menopause being viewed as a taboo subject. Our Menopause Workplace Pledge aims to tackle this issue and ensure all working women receive the support they need and deserve. So far, 1,000 employers have signed the pledge, including Tesco, AstraZeneca, the BBC, Santander, HSBC, ASOS, Royal Mail, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and London Zoo. The Civil Service, House of Commons and NHS England have committed too. Many are implementing initiatives that will positively support millions of UK employees. More widely, we have achieved widespread media coverage and conversations around menopause in the workplace in the press have increased across social media.

If anyone wonders why the Science Media Centre gave evidence to the Leveson inquiry, they need look no further than a small news story this week reporting that the uptake of the MMR vaccine has finally recovered from the media frenzy of 14 years ago that wrongly linked the jab to an increase in autism. The fact that we have seen the return of thousands of cases of childhood measles, and even some deaths, illustrates why I stood in front of Lord Justice Leveson to argue that poor science reporting can damage the public interest every bit as much as hacking the phones of celebrities or crime victims.
In some ways summoning up the spectre of MMR is misleading. The media was not solely responsible for the scare and much has changed for the better in those 14 years. The UK has some of the best specialist science reporters in the world and the appetite for science in newsrooms allows great journalists to convey complicated, scary and messy new science to a mass audience on a daily basis. But it's also important to acknowledge that aspects of the culture and practise in newsrooms that delivered the MMR scare do still raise their head – including the tendency to overstate a claim made by one expert in a single small study; the reluctance to ruin a great scare story by placing it in its wider more reassuring context; and the journalistic addiction to balance which often conveys a scientific divide where there is none.
It was these points that I elaborated on when called in front of Leveson last year. It was a welcome opportunity to offer a more ambitious vision of good science coverage. I dared to suggest that we should change the practise of non-specialist subeditors writing the headlines long after the science reporter has left, a practise which on the day of my evidence had led to a carefully written report on a tiny safety trial of stem cells for macular degeneration being wrongly headlined "Once they were blind, now they can see".
And I found common ground with other witnesses at Leveson while talking about the need for redress – not so much for individuals smeared by the media but for the wider public who believed stories that turned out not to be true. Tongue in cheek, I recommended an experiment proposed by a US science writer who suggested that those papers that have regularly splashed with stories of "a cure for" or "a breakthrough in" cancer, Alzheimer's and heart disease be invited to do a follow-up on how many "cures" we actually got. And I even got to pass on the outrage of many scientists at a culture that apparently allows the UK's best known columnists to enjoy immunity from the normal rules about accuracy – with the science of climate change in particular falling prey to opinion pieces with little regard for the truth.
To emphasise my point that not that much needs to be fixed to dramatically raise standards of science reporting, I made a rather rash claim. I told Leveson that, in my view, if you locked a group of the best scientists in a room with the main science journalists it would not take them long to come up with a list of guidelines on good science reporting. I mentioned a few on the spot, like journalists emphasising the size of the study, including the important caveats, reporting risk in absolute numbers as well as percentages and providing a realistic time frame for new research findings moving from a lab to a real live treatment.
In the event, Leveson called my bluff and asked for the delivery of said guidelines (see below) and he writes in the report that they are "commendable for their utility as well as their succinctness". He also suggests that any new regulator should "bear them closely in mind".
Like with so much about this report I imagine there will be different views in the scientific community about Leveson. I am sure that many scientists will be disappointed that there is not more of an iron glove behind Leveson's mild bouquet for our proposed guidelines, but the journalists who helped us to draft them believe they are actually more likely to be received warmly by newsdesks precisely because they have not been imposed from on high.
Scientists, like everyone else, will now have to wait to see whether this inquiry changes anything about the way newspapers operate, but when it comes to the future of the press – free or otherwise – there is an elephant in the room. The kind of science reporting that Leveson extols can only be done by newspapers with the resources to keep their existing specialist reporters, and right now the declining sales of newspapers is as much of a threat to good science coverage as sloppy standards or editorial hysteria. No one has come up with a good avoidance strategy for this collision course, and journalistic quality will be an indisputable casualty.
Fiona Fox is director of the Science Media Centre
Guidelines submitted to the Leveson inquiry
The following guidelines, drawn up in consultation with scientists, science reporters, editors and subeditors, are intended for use by newsrooms to ensure that the reporting of science and health stories is balanced and accurate. They are not intended as a prescriptive checklist and of course shorter articles or NIBs ["news in brief" items] will not be able to cover every point. Above and beyond specific guidelines, familiarity with the technicalities and common pitfalls in science and health reporting is invaluable and every newsroom should aim to employ specialist science and health correspondents. Wherever possible, the advice and skills of these specialists should be sought and respected on major, relevant stories; the guidelines below will be especially useful for editors and general reporters who are less familiar with how science works.
State the source of the story – eg interview, conference, journal article, a survey from a charity or trade body, etc – ideally with enough information for readers to look it up or a web link.
Specify the size and nature of the study – eg who/what were the subjects, how long did it last, what was tested or was it an observation? If space, mention the major limitations.
When reporting a link between two things, indicate whether or not there is evidence that one causes the other.
Give a sense of the stage of the research – eg cells in a laboratory or trials in humans – and a realistic time frame for any new treatment or technology.
On health risks, include the absolute risk whenever it is available in the press release or the research paper - ie if "cupcakes double cancer risk" state the outright risk of that cancer, with and without cupcakes.
Especially on a story with public health implications, try to frame a new finding in the context of other evidence – eg does it reinforce or conflict with previous studies? If it attracts serious scientific concerns, they should not be ignored.
If space, quote both the researchers themselves and external sources with appropriate expertise. Be wary of scientists and press releases over-claiming for studies.
Distinguish between findings and interpretation or extrapolation; don't suggest health advice if none has been offered.
Remember patients: don't call something a "cure" that is not a cure.

Best Ketogenic Diet Foods
The ketogenic diet (also known as the keto diet) is a way of eating where you actively help your body burn the excess fat that it has already stored.
In order to do that, the amount of carbohydrates that you consume per day is limited (to 20-25 g of net carbs/day), and fat and protein make up the rest of your caloric intake. When you limit the amount of carbs (i.e. sugar and starches) that you are consuming, you enter a state called “nutritional ketosis”: your body can no longer rely on carbohydrates for its energy needs and it now needs to start burning fat as its primary fuel source.
As a result, blood glucose remains much more stable throughout the day, and many people report increased energy and lower appetite, which makes it easier to control the amount of food you’re eating.
The ketogenic diet was primarily designed as a treatment for epilepsy and is nowadays most often used for weight loss.
It has multiple benefits that go beyond weight control, such as improving blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity, lowering the risk of Type 2 Diabetes and of heart disease, and it possibly even protecting against cancer.
Fat and Protein Foods to Eat on Ketogenic Diet
To maintain ketosis — which helps you burn body fat — fat and protein should make up the bulk of your intake on the ketogenic diet. Healthy fat options include vegetable oils such as olive oil, safflower, sunflower, canola, peanut and sesame oil, along with mayonnaise. Heavy cream and coconut oil may also be used as sources of fat on the ketogenic diet. However, these fats are high in saturated fat, and should be used sparingly.
To meet your protein needs, poultry, lean red meat, eggs, seafood and tofu make good choices. Salmon, tuna and sardines are rich in protein and in essential omega-3 fatty acids, and make a healthy source of protein and fat on your diet plan.
Carb Choices on Ketogenic Diet
It’s good to eat a wide variety of foods from all food groups on a ketogenic diet — but because of the macronutrient ratios, your carb choices may be limited. To get the greatest number of nutrients from carb-containing foods, include those that are rich in vitamins and minerals. Healthy choices include fruits such as berries, watermelon, cantaloupe and oranges, and non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, cucumbers and asparagus.
Whole grains, bread and other healthy starches, such as sweet potatoes and winter squash, are a more concentrated source of carbohydrates. You may include these foods in your diet if they have been calculated to fit in your plan. For example, you can save all your carbs for breakfast so you can have a slice of toast or 1/2 cup of oatmeal.
Foods to Avoid
To sustain ketosis and good health, you need to avoid high-carbohydrate foods that offer very little nutritional value. These foods include candy, cookies, ice cream, soda, pies, pastries and refined-flour bread products and cereal. You also want to avoid added sweeteners such as sugar, honey, jam, jelly and sweet condiments such as catsup and salad dressing
Like with any diet, the Keto diet comes with its own set of side effects that you may or may not want to put up with. Those in the know call it the “keto flu,” which involves fatigue, muscle weakness, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, or trouble sleeping for anywhere from two to six weeks. Dr. Axe recommends drinking plenty of water throughout the day and increasing your intake of electrolytes (especially sodium by adding salt to meals, and potassium from things like leafy greens and avocado) to counteract these issues.

Bandaids Don't Fix Climate Change (or Economic Injustice)
As government representatives negotiate with each other in Paris today, 28 Earth Quakers were back at PECO's headquarters today (the 5th time in three months) to tell them they need to scale up their efforts in a big way.
We took action to eliminate the threat to our climate and our communities by joining together in silent worship at the front entrance of PECO, Philadelphia's electric utility. After each person spoke to their reasons for being there we taped 40 signs and two large banners to the windows of PECO’s lobby.
Corporate security came out telling us to stop taping things to their building, but we continued knowing we are rate-payers who paid for that building.
If we had just marched over to headquarters to tape up our signs it would have felt scary and naughty. But having each other’s words articulating the reasons being there today, and our ability to join wholeheartedly in sustained worship, Spirit gathered us together and made us strong.
We completed our action and left, Corporate Security rushed to remove the 40 signs and 2 banners, and everyone could feel they had done their job.
While Governments play a big role, corporations are going to need to make some big changes in how we operate. Despite their award-winning energy conservation program PECO’s current efforts at renewable energy are a Band-Aid. Are you listening, PECO?

Regression testing is an essential element of software development. With its help, it is possible to detect errors in the source code and quickly fix them.
Regression testing can be manual or automated. Let’s take a closer look at what is the difference between these quality control methods.
How Regression Testing Is Done
Manual testing involves the execution of tests without the use of automation. This is the simplest and low-level method that does not require advanced specialized knowledge.
Manual testing is resource-intensive but mandatory. It allows you to make sure that new applications can be further automated.
Automated regression testing is the use of additional software to control the execution of tests and compare actual and expected results.
The main task of the automated method is to optimize the performance of frequently repeated tasks.
Benefits of Automated Regression Testing
Efficiency and round-the-clock work
Automatic testing can be performed without breaks and weekends. Professional test automation services allow you to run tests at night without the presence of specialists at the workplace.
This testing format is best suited for performing the same type and high-frequency tasks in the background, while testers will work on more serious tasks manually.
The faster the tasks are tested, the more work can be completed in a certain time. Automation allows you to increase productivity without losing quality and using additional resources.
Operational error correction
Regression testing is often the last step in software development before release. That is why it is important to reduce the time of its implementation and be able to quickly respond to recorded failures.
Automated testing is accompanied by detailed reports and the creation of visual logs, which provide complete information about the detected errors. They help speed up developer feedback and troubleshoot issues quickly.

The Information Commissioner ruled that they were in the public interest, amid claims by some victims’ families that the former Conservative prime minister tried to protect the police’s reputation.
In a decision notice, Christopher Graham said: “Support for disclosure of information relating to the Hillsborough disaster was expressed by the previous government and has been reconfirmed by the current government, and the commissioner also believes that the specific content of the information in question would add to public knowledge and understanding about the reaction of various parties to that event, including the government of the day, in the early aftermath.”
Ninety-six Liverpool fans died in the crush at Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield on April 15 1989 during an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.
An inquiry led by Lord Taylor of Gosforth concluded that the main reason for overcrowding was the failure of police control.
Mr Graham’s judgment may still be subject to an appeal, which would need to be lodged within 28 days. If there was no appeal, the Cabinet Office has 35 days to comply with the order.
The Cabinet Office refused a freedom of information request from the BBC for the documents more than two years ago.
An internal review upheld the refusal, prompting the BBC to ask the Information Commissioner’s Office to review the request. In his judgment, the commissioner criticised the Cabinet Office for “unjustified and excessive” delays.
He ordered the Government to publish information relating to the Hillsborough disaster provided to Mrs Thatcher.
