Refunds, upon withdrawal from summer sessions, will be made according to the policy stated below: Tuition and fees, including room and board fees, will be refunded upon complete withdrawal from all semester courses according to the policy stated below: Students who withdraw completely from the University after the opening of classes will receive 100 percent refunds (less a $500 cancellation fee as detailed in the Housing Contract) through the end of the first week of the semester. Students who withdraw completely after the first week of the semester will receive pro-rata refunds (less a $500 cancellation fee as detailed in the Housing Contract) calculated on the basis of days enrolled through the sixtieth percent point in the semester. Please refer to the Registration Information online for semester start and end dates. Withdrawals after the sixtieth percent point in the semester are not eligible for refunds. All refunds will be based on the official date of withdrawal, which is the date the completed withdrawal eFORM or an e-mail message (e-mail must be from the student’s University e-mail account and sent to the Registrar's Office) is received by the Office of the Registrar (OR). The University encourages students to make notification of withdrawal in writing as outlined above; however, verbal communication in the form of a phone call to the OR will be accepted within the following guidelines: Pro-rata percentages are applied against tuition, comprehensive fee, lab fee, and room and board fees (less a $500 cancellation fee for students who have contracted for housing). The resulting amount is then compared to any student payments that may have been made with the difference being the amount still due the University or the amount available to be refunded. There will be no refunding of moneys paid for health insurance, books, supplies, damages, fines, or other fees not mentioned above. Any amount available for refund will be returned to its sources. Federal Title IV aid, state aid, and University aid will receive refunds prior to any refund being paid to the student. All refunds will be based on the official date of withdrawal, which is the date the completed withdrawal eFORM is received by the Office of the Registrar (OR). E-mail or verbal communication will not be accepted for communicating partial withdrawals to OR. Only the completed withdrawal eFORM will be accepted. Full-time undergraduate students who are registered for twelve to eighteen credits in the semester are not entitled to any refund when withdrawing from one or more, but not all, courses after the first week of the semester. If the student drops below twelve credits prior to the end of the first week of the semester, the student’s status will be changed to part-time, and the student will be billed at the per-credit rate. Full-time undergraduate students should note that enrolling for fewer than twelve credits may affect eligibility for financial aid. Those students who are registered for credits in excess of eighteen will be entitled to refunds for tuition paid for credits in excess of eighteen according to the partial withdrawal refund schedule for part-time undergraduate students and graduate students, which follows below. Part-time undergraduate students and all graduate students who withdraw from one or more courses during the semester while remaining registered for one or more courses are entitled to 100 percent refunds on the courses dropped if the courses are dropped during the first week of the semester or on the day following the first class meeting. Fifty-percent refunds will be given if the courses are withdrawn from during the second week. Withdrawals after the second week are not eligible for refunds. Students who change housing and/or board arrangements during the semester while continuing as students at Monmouth University are eligible only for such refunds (less a $500 cancellation fee as detailed in the Housing Contract) as established by the Office of Residential Life. Further information on this process is available from the Office of Residential Life at 732-571-3465 or firstname.lastname@example.org. Appeals for exceptions to the Refund Policy should be made in writing to the Assistant to the Vice President for Student Financial Appeals within one year of the beginning of the semester in question. Information about this process is available from the Office of the Vice President of Finance at 732- 571-3427. Further information or explanation of theRefund Policy is available online from the Office of the Bursar. Students filing appeals for exceptions to the University Refund Policy are advised that there is a possibility that the amount of Financial Aid they may receive, or may have received, may be adversely affected. Students are advised that it is their responsibility to meet with a representative from the Financial Aid Office to see how filing an appeal will affect their financial aid package.

"Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown." - Luke 7:47 Alan was a broken soul wandering through life without purpose until his Uncle Paul told him a strange, fantastical story about the man in Dick Van Dyke’s hat. The man was a deranged, demonic carnival barker traveling the world in search of broken and damaged souls to entrap in their own private nightmares. Alan was a perfect target. Could he escape the man’s cotton candy nightmare and possibly save others?

My Suits Helped Me Try on Another Life, But I Don’t Need Them Anymore Sometimes I still think about my suits and the life I could have had. Now I work for myself, and my standard uniform is jeans and a T-shirt. When I was fifteen, my mom bought me two suits—two jackets and three skirts, one plain set and one with pinstripes. I had signed up for speech and debate class to meet a graduation requirement after hearing other kids rave about how cool the coach—Ms. (never Mrs.) Denney Bull—was. After a couple months of training, my first tournament rolled around, and it was finally time to put on one of those suits. I love writing and reporting, and if I knew what else I wanted to do, I might do it. Instead, I’m left feeling fulfilled in my soul, with my stomach eternally in knots. Maybe a less creative life would be worth the tradeoff for a better retirement account and a more traditional work schedule. If adulthood is about the trade-offs you’re willing to live with, I’m still not sure stability is something I’m willing to give up.

About This Course One of the most important skills you can cultivate for manufacturing (or really any line of work) is the ability to clear away the clutter and streamline a process. Sustainable Lean Manufacturing teaches students three major things: 1) wasted time, effort, and money exist in every process for a product or service, 2) it’s possible to clearly see and identify where waste occurs, and 3) there’s a surefire set of tools and techniques to make a process less wasteful and more efficient, and you’ll find out what those are. Bottom line: students leave this course viewing everyday life with a different perspective, knowing there’s always room for improvement in workflow. Sample textbook: Rubrich, L., Watson, M. & Fayad, V. (2015). Implementing World Class Manufacturing, 3rd Edition: The Complete Guide Including Policy Deployment and Developing a Lean Culture. Sample course topics: Introduction and value stream mapping, lean planning, productive maintenance, structured problem solving, single piece flow, cell design, materials, transportation, emission, and biodiversity.

Main Article Content Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of environmental factors on the essential oil yields (EOYs) and major essential oil components in the ripe fruits of Pistacia terebinthus L. (turpentine tree), which is a medicinal and aromatic plant. Fruit samples were collected from 34 different locations of the turpentine tree growing wild in the Lake District in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. EOYs (%, v/w) and essential oil component ratios (%) were determined in fruit samples by hydrodistillation and GC-MS methods, respectively. The effect of environmental factors on these variables were analyzed using Pearson Correlation and Principal Component Analysis. Results: The essential oil yield of fruits collected from different localities ranged from 0.05% (v/w) to 0.19% (v/w). In terms of average values, α-pinene with 41.01% and limonene with 14.28% were the major components in the essential oils of ripe fruits. Among the environmental variables, longitude and sand % in 10-30 cm were the variables that made a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in fruit essential oil yield. According to the results of principal components analysis (PCA), α-pinene and Ocimene components were most affected by silt (%, 10-30 cm) and pH (%, 30-50 cm) ratios. The longitude and total annual precipitation (mm) were the most determining variables in the sabinene and limonene components, respectively. It was seen that the total lime ratios at different depth levels of the soils taken from the localities were the most effective variables for Myrcene and p-Cymene components. Conclusion: The study findings showed that EOYs and intended volatile component ratios in ripe fruits of turpentine trees grown under appropriate environmental conditions can be increased.

The Montreal Allouettes may have focused on resigning their own players but they still have watched as 10 of their own have moved on this offseason. Let’s take a look at who left, and how the Allouettes have attempted to fill the role they vacated. Naturally we will start with quarterback. Mathew Shiltz was not expected to be a free agent. However he quickly became one when the Allouettes signed his replacement, Dominique Davis, on February 4th. Davis will immediately step into the 3rd string QB role that Shiltz vacated while being given a chance to compete with Trevor Harris. Trevor Harris had previously been released but was resigned following testing the free agent market. Shiltz on the other hand landed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats where he will compete for a back-up role as well. The Ti-Cats previously lost Jeremiah Masoli in free agency. This may actually turn into an open competition between Adams, Davis, and Harris for the starting job, with Davis being the underdog joining a new system. At Wide receiver the Allouettes were able to retain Jake Weineke, Dante Absher, and Mario Allford. However they were not able to retain Bj Cunningham who served a rather large role in 2021. He caught 36 of 54 targets for 474 yards and 1 td in just 9 games. The previous year in just 6 games he saw 38 targets. Meaning over his last 15 games he averaged 6 targets a game with Montreal. Last season during the games missed by Cunningham the main beneficiary was Quan Bray a second year receiver with Montreal. He saw 68 targets over 12 games played but saw a more consistent target share later in the season seeing 31 of his targets in his last 5 games. He was able to produce 17 receptions for 239 yards. Maybe that was enough to hand him a larger role in 2022. The Allouettes added a trio of receivers in an effort to fill his shoes. The main free agent I could see picking up a role in 2022 would be Hergy Mayala saw 100 targets over two seasons in Calgary. The secondary was hit particularly hard losing Patrick Levels, Ty Cranston, Monshadrik Hunter, and Tyqwuan Glass. It remains to be seen if they choose to resign free agents Dominique Termansen, or Ryan Carter. So far they have only been able to extend Kerfalla Exume. Tyqwuan Glass accounted for 27 tackles, and 1 sack in 7 games. The former Fresno State Cornerback has bounced around the league a little bit and primarily served a depth role on teams in the past. He had played with Montreal in 2018 but only just returned in 2021. I believe that one of the free agents signed this offseason should fill his role well. Perhaps Prince Smith Jr. is the guy who ultimately fills the snaps he left behind. Only time will tell how this secondary shakes out with all this turnover. Ty Cranston played in 13 games accounting for 29 tackles, on defense, 8 on special teams, and his first career interception in 2021. He is headed into his 4th season in the CFL. Having spent the previous 3 seasons in Montreal primarily as a special teams player, it was out of the norm for him to see as much time as he did on defense in 2021. Monshadrick “Money” Hunter is a 6’1 193 lb safety who notched 44 defensive tackles, 2 interceptions, and 1 sack in 14 games. 2021 was his only season in Montreal and I expect them to try and use rookie Ethan Makonzo in his place. The 6’1 220 lb Makonzo will give the Allouettes defense more of a physical presence in the defensive backfield for opposing receivers to contend with. Money Hunter was a key player in 2021 but I see Makonzo filling in admirably in 2022. Patrick Levels was a huge contributor in the 2019 and 2021 seasons for Montreal. He was able to play in 20 games out of a total 22. He racked up 128 tackles, 8 sacks, 1 interception, 72 return yards and 1 td, and 2 forced fumbles. The guy I expect to be asked to fill his role is Mike Jones Jr. In 2021 Jones started 13 of 14 games for Winnipeg on his way to a second Grey Cup victory. He was able to rack up 46 tackles, and 2 interceptions. Jones should be an interesting fit in the role, as he has never really been used to rush the passer in previous seasons with 0 career sacks in college, the NFL, or the CFL over 9 seasons. The Alls also lost defensive end David Mennard who may have only had 18 tackles in 2021, but racked up 8 QB sacks. Having attended school in Montreal he signed with the Allouettes for the 2021 season but had spent his previous six seasons with the BC Lions. In 6 years with the Lions he collected just 18 sacks in those 6 seasons never topping 6 in a year. He ultimately would resign with the Lions as soon as he hit free agency this offseason. Signed to replace him was Avery Ellis. The 27 year old defensive end has spent the previous 4 seasons in Ottawa where he collected 18 sacks but has also never topped 6 sacks in a season. In 2021 he played in all 14 games racking up 33 tackles and 3 sacks. The Allouettes also signed rookie Brock Gowanlock and veteran Vincent Desjardins who was a depth player at best for the Stampeders the past two seasons he was active for 20 games but racked up just 3 tackles, and 1 forced fumble. He has inside outside versatility but likely will see most of his snaps inside in 2022. Having lost linebacker Dj Lalama to Calgary in free agency, the Allouettes knew they would need to replace his role. He played in 11 games last seasons starting 3 of them collecting 23 of his 25 tackles in those 3 games. He also collected 1 sack. However the Allouettes signed Frederic Chagnon who was drafted in the 3rd round by BC in 2017. He went on to play for them through the 2019 season before ultimately signing with Ottawa prior to the 2021 season. He would play in 7 games again primarily playing on special teams. He racked up 6 special teams tackles, 1 blocked punt recovery that he returned for a touchdown. He has signed with Montreal to again play on special teams, but could see a depth role on defense for the Allouettes in 2022. Ultimately it will be interesting to watch who takes over the targets left behind by Bj Cunningham, and who steps into snaps that the 4 defensive backs vacated that moved on. I think they made the right moves at defensive end to overcome the loss of Mennard who was really only a short term addition in Montreal. However in a league built around 1 to 2 year contracts it is no surprise to see this kind of turn over at the CFL level. Especially given the fact that last season the Allouettes had many veteran players play well then immediately hit free agency.

This weekend is Mother’s Day weekend, so it feels pretty ironic that I am writing a post about feeling like a failure when it comes to mothering. The timing was not planned. I admitted here right off the bat that we were struggling ever since Cece was placed in our home. Our struggles were much more with ourselves than with her but for a number of reasons the placement was not a good fit and yesterday she ended up moving on to a different foster home at our request. This was not a simple decision. It was the right decision for our family but I still feel guilty. I feel like I failed her. But, having her here was really affecting our family, we didn’t want to take two placements after our time with Buzz and Woody but because we struggle with saying no we did anyway. So, she moved to a different family. We still have little R2 and for the foreseeable future we plan on sticking with just one foster child at a time. I really don’t know what else to write, I’m still processing a lot of this but wanted to share this part of our foster care journey here for now while it is fresh.

Calculating Customer LTV is always tricky, even if you don’t have negative churn. I’ll begin by explaining the problems with the original formula, and then move on to answer how you should calculate it when you have negative churn. Basic Customer LTV formula The original formula is problematic because it makes assumptions about churn rate — and totally overlooks other things. As a result, this LTV prediction is overly optimistic. The standard limitations of the basic LTV formula - Assumes linear churn rate over time. This is never really the case in real life. SaaS businesses see most churn within the first 90 days of a subscription, and then churn tapers off in later months. Like so: - Doesn’t account for risk or reduced value of money over time. – Risk: Particularly as a startup, there is unlimited risk in the form of changes to the market, technology becoming obsolete, and fierce competition. – Reduced value of money over time: When viewing money as a future resource, the common practice is to model it at a reduced value. Since LTV is a predictive metric, it’s more accurate to reduce the value of future revenue. - Doesn’t account for customer growth. And this is the gap that particularly concerns you. When a SaaS company has strong MRR growth over a customer lifetime — or expansion business — that can result in negative churn. The limitation when it comes to negative churn, specifically The basic LTV formula doesn’t work well with negative churn. Why? Because this formula is about CUSTOMER churn rate. “Negative churn” has to do with MRR churn rate. These are measuring two completely different factors of your business: number of accounts versus recurring revenue. So how do you try to solve for the three limitations plus the blocker that negative churn has no place in the formula? Well, David Skok expertly, and true to form, exploded the basic LTV metric by analyzing these three limitations and researching a better LTV formula. Spoiler alert: this new formula is definitely more complicated. And it will show you a lower Customer LTV than you see with the other formula. But this one is actually far more accurate. David Skok’s revised LTV formula The two concepts added to this new formula are: Which takes care of value reduction on all fronts. This includes the usual customer churn rate, but also “Discount Rate”. Discount rate accounts for both risk and reduced value of money over time, mentioned above. It’s a pre-defined annual rate of your choosing. Skok suggests a Discount Rate of 20-25% for pre-scale businesses. Annual Growth rate for customers who haven’t churned. Aka: the business expansion rate of your existing customers. Which turns your negative MRR churn into a positive figure in the formula. Try out this revised LTV formula and see how it works for your business. For a much more in-depth explanation and detailed advice, do check out David Skok’s impressive breakdown of this new definition of LTV. Another resource, more of a quick-and-easy read, is this SaaS LTV Cheat Sheet. It’s a free PDF that could be handy around the office. I leave you with Skok’s LTV wisdom. “Don’t obsess over getting to the last level of accuracy here. We are using a formula to predict the future, and the future, by its very definition is not predictable.” This answer was originally published on Quora.

Is there anyone else out there maybe just a little bit like me who has a tendency to avoid left-hand turns? I know there are a few others I’ve met that have the same aversion to making left-hand turns. What is this? I believe everything in the natural has some sort of spiritual significance. When God brings my attention to something, I tend to ask him what that means from a spiritual sense so I can fully understand it in the natural. We are in fact spiritual beings just living in a physical body. We are aliens to this world and citizens of heaven. We are simply here on a mission. It’s our job to commune with God to better understand what our specific mission is. We all have one. Some like to call it our destiny. So, what did God say to me about left-hand turns in relation to my dislike of them? When I look at this from a spiritual stance, right symbolizes the right way. Left symbolizes the wrong way. Right equals correct. We see this taking place all over in the natural. People drive a little further for gas if they know there is a gas station on the right-hand side of the road versus the left. Some people even feel it is a curse to have a left-handed child and they attempt to train them to be right-handed. The majority of the population will turn right when given an option to turn left or right in a new place. When driving, we are told to turn right four times if we are lost and that will get us back to the place where we started. Right just feels good. As turning right feels natural to most people, doing the right thing and following the right path feels good as well. When we get that sense of peace about something, knowing we are on the right track, that is actually a nudge from God to continue on the path. Sometimes there is uncertainty that comes along with turning right. Will there even be a gas station up ahead? When making those 4 turns to get back on track, will there be a one-way street that causes a little stress and makes us wonder what we should do? Maybe. But when we follow the instruction of God and head in the right direction, he will help us through the detours. Turning left is an option, but many times it’s backtracking and can lead to danger. In the same way that it is safer to turn right into the gas station to avoid crossing oncoming traffic, it is safer to stay on the right track with God. If you get on the path that does not belong to him, you will have to figure it out on your own. Staying on the right path ensures that he will continue to guide you. Although you may not fully understand what turning left would have been like, we know that we are safe when turning right.

Do you ever find yourself daydreaming about escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yearning for a moment of tranquility amidst the chaos? Well, you’re not alone. In a world that never seems to slow down, we all crave a respite from the daily grind. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for a vacation to find serenity – it can be woven into your travel adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned globetrotter or a first-time explorer, this blog post is your guide to unlocking the serenity hidden within your journeys. Get ready to embark on a path to peaceful travel experiences that will nourish your soul and leave you feeling refreshed. Use Private Guided Tours Exploring new destinations with the guidance of a private tour can be a transformative way to discover serenity during your travel adventures. Unlike large group tours, private guided tours offer a personalized and intimate experience, allowing you to set your own pace and preferences. As highlighted by the team behind Urban Legends Tour Co, your knowledgeable guide can curate the itinerary to align with your interests, ensuring you visit serene spots off the beaten path. This one-on-one interaction fosters a deeper connection with the local culture, history, and natural surroundings. Moreover, the absence of crowds and distractions enables you to immerse yourself fully in the moment, enhancing your overall sense of serenity and connection with the destination. Embrace Mindful Travel Planning Serenity in travel often begins with thoughtful and mindful planning. Start by immersing yourself in the journey before it even begins. Take the time to research your destination, its culture, and its local customs. Setting realistic expectations and goals for your trip helps reduce stress and fosters a more serene experience. Choose destinations that align with your desire for tranquility, whether that means opting for nature-rich getaways, secluded retreats, or culturally rich experiences. By investing time in the planning process, you can ensure that your travel adventures are not only enjoyable but also deeply fulfilling, enhancing your sense of serenity throughout your journey. Disconnect from Digital Distractions In our hyper-connected world, finding serenity in travel often means intentionally disconnecting from digital distractions. Begin by minimizing your screen time during your travels. Turn off notifications, put your phone on silent, or even consider using airplane mode. Embrace the freedom from constant connectivity, allowing you to fully engage with the present moment. By detaching from the virtual world, you create space for genuine experiences, fostering deeper connections with the people you meet and the places you explore. Whether you’re gazing at a breathtaking sunset or savoring a local delicacy, disconnecting from digital distractions can amplify your sense of serenity and enrich your travel adventures. Embody the Slow Travel Philosophy To discover serenity in your travel adventures, consider embracing the slow travel philosophy. Instead of rushing through multiple destinations in a short period, opt for longer stays in fewer places. This approach allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture, savor regional cuisine, and build meaningful connections with the community. Prioritizing quality over quantity enables you to explore at a leisurely pace, reducing the stress of constant movement. By fully experiencing each destination, you’ll cultivate a profound sense of serenity, as you learn to appreciate the beauty in simplicity and the value of taking your time to truly savor the journey. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation Incorporating mindfulness and meditation into your travel routine can be a powerful means of discovering serenity. Begin your day with a few moments of meditation to center your thoughts and set a positive intention for your travels. Throughout the day, practice mindfulness by staying fully present in each moment. Whether you’re sipping a cup of tea in a bustling bazaar or hiking through serene landscapes, engage all your senses to immerse yourself in the experience. Seek out peaceful spots for meditation, such as tranquil gardens or quiet beaches, to deepen your connection with the surroundings. These practices can help you find inner calm amidst the excitement of your travel adventures, enhancing your overall sense of serenity. Engage in Serene Activities To infuse your travel adventures with serenity, prioritize engaging in serene activities. Seek out hobbies and interests that resonate with tranquility, such as yoga, tai chi, or painting. Explore natural wonders and serene landscapes, whether it’s strolling through lush forests, sitting by a calm lake, or watching a serene sunset. Additionally, consider indulging in wellness and relaxation experiences, like spa treatments, hot springs, or meditation retreats, to rejuvenate your body and mind. By actively participating in these serene activities, you’ll not only create moments of tranquility but also deepen your connection with the destination, fostering a profound sense of serenity throughout your travel journey. Incorporating mindful planning, digital detox, the slow travel philosophy, mindfulness practices, and engaging in serene activities can collectively transform your travel adventures into a serene and fulfilling journey. By consciously disconnecting from the digital world, embracing the present moment, and immersing yourself in serene activities, you can discover a profound sense of serenity amidst the excitement of exploration. These mindful approaches not only enhance your travel experiences but also leave you with lasting memories of tranquility and connection with the destinations you visit.

This South Shore mural stood out by focusing on objects, not people The 1991 work by Marcus Akinlana and Olivia Gude — titled ‘Where There is Discord, Harmony; The Power of Art’ — is on the Black United Fund of Illinois’ building. Symbols, not people, mark “Where There is Discord, Harmony; The Power of Art,” a 30-by-60-foot mural on the side of what’s now the home of the Black United Fund of Illinois at 1801 E. 71st St. in South Shore. Marcus Akinlana and Olivia Gude, the artists who created it in 1991, see the piece as a statement on the dualities of life — joy and sorrow, despair and hope — and the healing power that art can have. Part of a series on public art in the city and suburbs. More murals are added every week. “Where there is discord, there’s going to be harmony,” says Akinlana, 54. “Where there is oppression, we bring liberation. Where there is hatred, we bring in love, light.” At the center are three eyes. Two are meant to represent the visual aspect of art and the “spiritual insight” required for art to uplift a community, says Gude, 70. The biggest one, in the center, is the “all-seeing eye of the Creator,” Akinlana says, meant to show no one can hide from the truth. A spiral surrounds the eyes, symbolizing the cycle of death and rebirth. There are paintbrushes at each end of the spiral, intended to hint at the unlimited potential of art. A golden picture frame is meant to represent the social conditions under which art is made and seen. “You think about what some people associate with art, like a fancy painting in a museum,” Gude says. “But the mural itself shows that that’s not the only thing which is art. Murals on walls are unframed and accessible to everybody.” A doll in a gold dress symbolizes the African goddess of love. Akinlana says he wanted to introduce more Afrocentric culture. Other murals often focus on people. This one highlights objects. Akinlana says he and Gude wanted their work to stand out. Together, they’ve worked on three major mural projects. They also worked with each other in the 1980s and 1990s through the Chicago Public Art Group, which wrote of the South Shore mural: “The work broke new aesthetic ground in that the [artists] chose to eliminate the traditional use of human figures and an obvious narrative structure.” Gude, who lives in Bridgeport, has been creating murals around Chicago since the 1980s. “Is your role to be an individual artistic genius, or is your role to open yourself out so you can collaborate with others, hearing what they’re thinking, hearing their messages and then making work together?” she says. Akinlana says people in the surrounding community helped them decide the themes of the piece. “We didn’t just come into the community and start doing artwork with no consultation with the actual people who lived there, even though I lived there myself,” says Akinlana, who has moved back to New Orleans, his hometown, after 10 years in Chicago. At the time the mural was painted, the building was an arts incubator. Now, Carolyn Day, executive director of the Black United Fund of Illinois, a not-for-profit organization that supports African American communities, hopes to get the artists to restore the work, which has faded over time. The Black United Fund also uses a building across the street, at 1750 E. 71st St., which has its own mural, by artist Flournoyd Brown.

How Serious Is The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Problem? The U.S. Department of Labor has concluded that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the “chief occupational hazard of the 90’s”. Workers are becoming disabled from CTS in record numbers The information below provides some insight as to the affects of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome epidemic on workers and their families both physical and financial: - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects over 8,000,000 people.. - Half of all work related injuries is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - 25% of all computer operators have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with estimates that by the year 2000, 50% of the entire workforce may be affected. - The second most common type of surgery is for people afflicted with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Doctors perform over 230,000 procedures yearly. - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patients were able to return to work only 23% of the time. - 36% of all Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patients require unlimited medical treatment. - Women are at an increased risk to develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; up to 50% more likely then men. - Although women make up nearly half the work force, 2/3’s of all work related Repetitive Stress Injuries are reported by women.

By Qian Gang — In the “great earthquake” of May 12, just one year ago, we saw the combined devastation of a natural disaster and social tensions in a way that was unprecedented. Chinese news reports on this major story unfolded in a complicated environment, and it is impossible to render a simple verdict about media coverage. As rescue and relief efforts began, the release of information prompted the international news media to note a “rare openness” in news coverage within China. Subsequent restrictions on reporting of shoddy school construction told a very different story. A Wildfire is Extinguished The phenomenon of school collapses drew attention on the very day the earthquake struck. Wenchuan was pinpointed as the epicenter of the quake, and rescue teams and journalists sought to make their way there at the first available moment. But because the roads were destroyed, their way was blocked at the city of Dujiangyan. In Dujiangyan, where the quake activity had not been the most serious, what everyone witnessed was not damage to residential buildings but rather the complete collapse of schools, which had resulted in a disproportionate loss of life among students and teachers. In a news extra in the early morning hours of May 13, Southern Metropolis Daily gave prominent place to a photo essay dispatched by their reporter on the scene in Dujiangyan. It was called “Masses of Students are Buried at Dujiangyan.” [ABOVE: Screenshot of online coverage of a Southern Metropolis Daily report on school collapses in Dujiangyan, Sichuan, May 13, 2008.] Early on May 13, the official Xinhua News Agency also released a dispatch called, “Quake Causes the Death of Around 400 Students at a Middle School in Sichuan’s Qingchuan County in Guangyuan Prefecture” [Video of CCTV coverage here]. The bulk of news reports about school collapses came in the first three weeks following the quake. During this time there were in fact bans from the Central Propaganda Department. On May 15 the propaganda department had ordered that “no specific examples of rescue efforts at schools be raised in reports on the Wenchuan earthquake rescue.” But not unlike the propaganda department order that media not dispatch journalists to the quake zone, this order quickly became a worthless scrap of paper. By May 18, school collapses all over the disaster zone had been reported by Chinese media – in Dujiangyan City, Beichuan County, Wenchuan County, Shifang City, Qingchuan County, Mianzhu County and Pingwu County. In the vast majority of cases these schools had collapsed due to structural weaknesses and had been laid flat within moments. These collapsed structures offered a stark contrast to neighboring buildings, including many previously designated by the government as unsound, which had sustained little damage. Not to be bested by commercial media such as Southern Metropolis Daily, party mouthpieces like People’s Daily Online, Xinhua Online and Sichuan Television also paid attention to the problem of school collapses in earlier reports. On May 16, People’s Daily Online arranged an online chat between Web users and officials and scholars from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Housing and the China Earthquake Administration. During that session, officials said that “there were certainly quality issues behind the collapse of school buildings and we will conduct a strict and uncompromising investigation.” The second wave of reporting on the issue of school collapses came after the national period of mourning from May 19 to 21. For three consecutive days, Southern Metropolis Daily ran a series of reports called “Xue Shang” (学殇), or “The Premature Death of Our Students.” The reports exposed even more bitter truths to the public, reporting how the party secretary of Mianzu City prostrated himself before the parents of primary school students as they petitioned for redress of wrongs. This prompted other news reports, and also resulted in the tightening of controls on reporting about school collapses. But then came an even more powerful third wave of reporting on the issue. On May 29, Southern Weekend ran a whole series of reports – “Ministry of Housing Experts Rule Juyuan Middle School in Dujiangyan a Substandard Structure: An Investigation Into the Collapse of Dujiangyan’s Juyuan Middle School,” “Mianzhu Fuxin Second Primary: How the Collapsed School Buildings Were Constructed,” “Dongqi Middle School: Could Tragedy Have Been Averted?” On June 6, the weekly newsmagazine Outlook ran a report called, “An Investigation Into School Collapses in the Quake Zone: Why Did Old Residential Structures Stand?” On June 9, Caijing magazine published its own report, “School Buildings, A Chronicle of Concern.” It was at this time that the Central Propaganda Department and local propaganda offices issued comprehensive bans on further coverage of the issue of school collapses. Caijing’s report was the last to be openly published, and it was also the most serious report. [ABOVE: Screenshot of online coverage of the Caijing magazine report, “School Buildings, A Chronicle of Concern,” June 2008.] Using the WiseNews Chinese language database to search for all mainland Chinese articles with the keywords “earthquake” and “school collapse” over the past year, you can spot a clear downward trend in the number of reports from late May onward. As the one-month anniversary of the earthquake approached, reports on shoddy school construction were virtually nonexistent. On June 25, media in Sichuan province ran an article called “The Earthquake is the Culprit in the Destruction of Buildings: Survivors Must Look Rationally to the Future.” At this point, journalists from other provinces were pulled from the earthquake zone under a compulsory order. Media such as Southern Metropolis Daily and Southern Weekend that had reported on the problem of school collapses were severely criticized and eventually subjected to purges of editorial staff. There have been three notable official overtures on the issue of shoddy school construction. The first came in the early days of the relief effort, the second on the occasion of the six-month anniversary, and the third during the “two meetings” of the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Congress earlier this year. In each instance the resolve to seek out the truth and hold people accountable has weakened. In the earliest phase Chinese media used circuitous reporting tactics to circumvent propaganda bans. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhu Yu (朱玉), for example, wrote a report called “The Disaster Prevention Strategy of a Rural Schoolmaster in the Quake Zone.” The report managed to underscore broader failures of government preparedness by glorifying a local school official in Sichuan who had for many years worked privately to reinforce his own classrooms. When the earthquake struck his school was not damaged. The Xinhua report was fiercely criticized by the Central Propaganda Department when it came out on May 23 . By the time the Southern Metropolis Daily was criticized by authorities in late May 2008 the issue of school collapses was effectively untouchable. But media still seized the opportunity afforded by International Children’s Day on June 1 to honor students who had died. The next major report skirting the edge of this issue came many months later, on February 6, 2009, as China Economic Times, a newspaper published by the Development Research Center of the State Council, ran a report by veteran investigative reporter and CMP fellow Wang Keqin (王克勤) called, “An Investigation Into the Collapse of the Bank of China Building in Mianzhu.” The report, which exposed construction quality problems very reminiscent of those behind school collapses, was again fiercely criticized by the Central Propaganda Department, which quickly issued an order for the recall of newspaper copies that had already been distributed. Investigations into the collapse of schools in the quake zone did not cease despite restrictions. Even as the rubble was cleared away — and with it much critical evidence — the parents of students who died in the quake and other citizens in the disaster zone used their own cameras and mobile phones to document the scene. Many journalists from outside China sought at great risk to film documentaries in the quake zone, and many were detained by authorities, but at least three documentaries were completed. Sichuanese writer and activist Tan Zuoren (谭作人) made scores of trips into the disaster zone, and an incomplete independent citizen survey of 64 schools that he released confirmed the details of at least 5,761 students that had died in the quake, the vast majority due to shoddy school buildings. On March 28, Tan Zuoren was arrested by authorities in Sichuan under charges of “inciting subversion of state power.” Tan’s independent numbers offer an interesting counterpoint to official numbers released this week saying 5,335 students died in the quake. Beijing artist Ai Weiwei has also sought to conduct a citizen investigation online. His blog entries on his citizen investigation have been deleted as soon as they appear, but he has continued to make updates and re-posts. Up to April 27 he had already gathered specific information about 4,481 students who died in the quake. The Political Logic of News Controls News openness in the early stages of the earthquake relief effort was something to which we all bore witness. Controls were relaxed even on the issue of school collapse in the very early stages, and we saw party media like Xinhua News Agency and People’s Daily Online jumping into the fray. Early on, Chinese authorities also indicated that there would certainly be investigations into problems in school construction. The environment steadily tightened, however, and there were three principal reasons for this. First and foremost, news reports on school collapses were implicating more and more officials. Many officials who previously served in areas impacted by the quake had now moved on to higher positions in the official hierarchy. In one of the more outstanding examples, Sichuan’s provincial propaganda chief, the very man whose responsibility it was to control media in the quake region, had served previously as the party secretary of Dujiangyan. Former Sichuan officials were also now serving within the central party leadership in Beijing. News reports touching on official negligence were clearly disadvantageous to their “political survival.” And so the tangled fabric of power within the vast bureaucracy quickly knotted together in a recognition of mutual interests, and this force worked against the resolve at the center to get behind the problem of school collapses. Secondly, the collapse of schools in the quake zone quickly set off a massive grassroots rights defense movement (民间维权行动). And thirdly, the school collapse issue touched on even deeper and more sensitive nerves — the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games and China’s international reputation. A top Sichuan education official, Lin Qiang (林强), even resigned his role as an Olympic torch bearer, saying in an interview with Southern Weekend on May 23, 2008, that “the truth is more important than glory.” In the official response to reporting on the Sichuan earthquake, we also saw signs of emerging changes to media control and censorship in China, what we have called at the China Media Project “Control 2.0” (传媒控制升级版). It is fair to say that media controls in mainland China have never slackened, but “control” has undergone many changes, not just in methods and tactics but also in the standards applied to control — What should be controlled and what not? What should be controlled more strictly? What areas can be loosened? In the past controls were largely ideological in nature. Propaganda organs of the party routinely punished media in their capacity as the guardians of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. But in the post-totalitarian era in China, in the era of what we can call “market Leninism,” ideology has faded, and as the power of the central party has waned, the power of local interest groups is on the rise. The primary impetus for media control today is now direct and personal political interest. Officials and interest groups at various levels often manipulate propaganda offices to stifle news media, and the most effective charge they now levy against them is that they are “harmful to the national interest” or “damaging to social stability.” This is why, in the case of the Sichuan earthquake, we saw on the one hand that news reports on the disaster situation itself were far richer than we saw for previous major disasters (such as the quake at Tangshan), and on the other hand that reports on school collapses were suppressed. These reports on school collapses exposed the corrupt and negligent behavior of officials, and so were a direct challenge to their political interests.

The “two meetings” of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) have been shortened in 2020, and correspondingly the government work report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang (李克强) has been cut down, from last year’s more than 20,000 characters to just 10,400 characters. Li’s address on Friday took just one hour to deliver, short by historical standards. But as the room for verbiage was halved in this government report, what terms and priorities were emphasized? No decline whatsoever in terms such as “core” signifying Xi Jinping’s power In the 2020 report, like the 2019 report, we find the so-called “442 formula,” referring to the “Four Consciousnesses” (四个意识), the “Four Confidences” (四个自信) and the “Two Protections” (两个维护), appearing once. The phrase group, which is an important indicator of Xi Jinping’s central role in the CCP leadership, was briefly absent from the texts emerging in February and March from meetings of the Standing Committee of the CCP Politburo, the Communist Party’s highest decision-making body – possibly a sign that drum-beating over Xi’s status was being toned down somewhat in the midst of the coronavirus epidemic. But the “442 Formula” quickly returned, and seeing it in the work report is perhaps a further sign of the return to normal in terms of bullish treatment of Xi and his leadership. In the 2019 government work report, Xi Jinping’s name appeared 13 times, and Xi’s banner term, “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era” (习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想), appeared four times. It is important to note that even as the text of the work report was chopped in half this year, we had just one less instance of Xi’s name, and one less characters, the rise in volume in the 2020 report is clear. its very strong appearance in the work report, “Xi Thought” (习思想) has not yet been further elevated by the inclusion of the phrase “raising high” (高举). We do not yet have the phrase, in other words, “raising high the banner of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era,” which would indicate a new climb in status for Xi as paramount leader. tail end of the report, we can clearly see a point where the graduated phrase might easily fit. But the report reads instead: “. . . raising high the banner of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era as the guide” (高举中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜,以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导”). The following table compares the occurrence of various key terms in the 2019 and 2020 government work reports, as well as the lengths of the reports and relevant sections: Like the 2019 report, this year’s report does not use a number of the more boastful terms (自嗨语) that can readily be found in the state media to describe China’s strengths and its importance globally. Terms like “China Model” (中国模式), “China Plan” (中国方案), “Chinese knowledge” (中国智慧) and “Chinese template” (中国范本) are not present, nor is the term “great power responsibility” (大国担当), a foreign policy phrase that seems to have appeared more frequently in recent months to describe China’s actions globally in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis. However, we can spot another phrase, related to the above, that has also played prominently of late in the official media – “political and institutional advantages” (政治和制度优势). The phrase “national security” (国家安全) appears twice in both the 2019 and the 2020 work reports. A greater emphasis on In the 2019 work report, the now common phrase “Six Stabilities” (六稳) had not yet emerged. However, there was mention at two different points in the 2019 report of “stabilities” outside of this rhetorical formula. These are: stable employment (稳就业), stable finance (稳金融), stable foreign trade (稳外贸), stable foreign investment (稳外资), stable investment (稳投资) and stable expectations (稳预期). The terms “Six Stabilities” and “Six Guarantees” (六保) – 1) employment, 2) basic livelihoods, 3) the market structure, 4) grain and energy security, 5) industry supply chains, and 6) operations at the grassroots – have now become formalized in 2020 as part of the official discourse, and we see each of these appearing 3 times in the government work report this year. Aside from these mentions, there are 39 separate mentions of “employment” (就业) alone, 9 more than last year (again, in a report just half the length). This suggests that within consideration of the whole range of economic issues, maintaining employment is one area that particularly concerns the government. The grimness of the employment situation and the extreme challenges facing enterprises as they struggle to survive can be glimpsed in other areas of the work report this year, such as the dropping of GDP targets, talk of raising the intensity of efforts to lower taxes and fees (加大减税降费力度), promoting the lowering of operating costs for enterprises (降低企业生产经营成本), and talk of “doing everything possible to stabilize and expand employment” (千方百计稳定和扩大就业). Hong Kong, Taiwan and the US-China relationship When we compare the People’s Daily front-pages in 2019 and 2020 announcing the government work report, we can see obvious similarities. But there is also an obvious point of difference that has to be noted, and this concerns the issue of Hong Kong, which is raised in a subhead: “Hearing the draft of the Civil Code and the draft decision of the National People’s Congress on the establishment and improvement of the legal system and enforcement mechanism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to safeguard national security.” Judging from the text of this year’s government work report, within the context of what are relatively brief and simple remarks on the relationships with Hong Kong and Taiwan, and with the United States, there is a much more severe treatment of Hong Kong. No longer do we see, as in the 2019 report and previous reports, language about “offering full support to the SAR governments and chief executives of Hong Kong and Macau in accordance with law.” The chart below compares the statements in the 2019 and 2020 government work reports on the question of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. To sum up, this year’s government work report maintains a tone toward the leader (领袖) of vowing loyalty and devotion, while it strikes a more realistic and practical tone on the relative economic difficulties facing the country. On Hong Kong, meanwhile, the tone of the work report suggests a clear change from last year’s “two meetings,” which came after the proposal by the Hong Kong government in February 2019 of the extradition bill, but before the onset of successive months of protests in June 2019. As these issues in the report are deliberated this week, we can expect to see these characteristics play out further. NOTE:This article used the version of the text of the government work report as presented at the NPC, not subsequent versions appearing online, which may differ slightly.

At alternative parties and raves in Tokyo, in flea markets and pop-ups, it is common to see this type of garment that, due to its striking and groundbreaking design, is clearly not bought in stores. If you’ve seen any of these items lately, it’s likely they have passed through Felix’s hands. Felix Idle (@setsu_n41) is a multi-disciplinary artist, DJ, and producer from Sydney based in Tokyo. In addition to his music, Felix is bringing to the Tokyo underground scene a vision of fashion based on the mundane: if we have to dress out of necessity, let’s make the most of what we have but make it our own, having fun in the process. I went to visit Felix to see how he makes his clothes. We ended up talking about the limitations of art and the similarities between playing music as a DJ and customizing clothes, while we silk-screened a T-shirt or went to the 100 yen store to buy thread. Chorareii: Although I want to talk about your clothes, it was your music that first connected you to the underground Japanese scene. Please tell me about that! Felix: I have been making music since I was 16, and sharing it on SoundCloud since I was 19. In 2013 I released my music on the Mexican-Canadian label Memory No. 36 Recordings. Then I changed my artist name to Wa?ste and released music on the Shanghai label Genome 6.66Mbp. In Tokyo, I have been DJing and organizing events with my friend Andrew aka Saint Croix (@saintcroix___). How did you start creating your clothes? I made my first piece of clothing for fun (a reversed flannelette shirt) with a friend in Melbourne who had studied Fashion. I still have it here with me! I started up making things again recently after moving to Japan when I bought some things second-hand online that didn’t fit me and used needles from the convenience store to start reconstructing them. The idea of selling clothes came when people started asking me if they were for sale! I didn’t really set out to do it. I got invited to participate in a flea market, and I was under the impression the event was only for hand-made stuff, so I made some clothes to sell. I also met Watanabe Miku and Pokona from Mitame (@m_i_t_a_m_e) — a community space that gathers people involved in art, fashion, music, queer politics stuff, and stuff that’s both all and none of that at the same time — around this time and started getting invited to participate in their events. What is the best thing about creating your own clothes? One thing is that you save things that otherwise you may be throwing away. The other thing would be that you gain a lot of autonomy over how you look. You can change the parts of the design you don’t like (you may love everything about an item except the sleeves, for example): you have ultimate control. It’s not just going to the shop and hoping to find a certain thing. You can go to the shop, get something and then change it however you like. You have more power! Changing clothes it’s kind of similar to when you’re DJing or making a remix. You hear the song but maybe you don’t like a certain aspect, so you change it in a way to make it more interesting to you. What techniques do you use to make clothes and how did you learn them? My mum taught me that you have to sew over the place where you start, so it doesn’t come undone. Apart from that, I’m self-taught! I mostly do hand stitching, silk printing, and bleaching. I also recently borrowed an airbrush from a friend. Some techniques are time-consuming but overall nothing I do is too difficult. Are there similarities between how you approach your art and music, and the clothes you modify? Art on the surface is very idealistic, it’s about ideas. But yet the art market is related to the history of art (and the patronage system): it borrows its sense of value or gravity or meaning from the fact that it was associated with the Bourgeoisie, or the Monarchy, or the church. I think that stands today. Today, we have the power of finance, the auction houses, and the wealthy investors and collectors who will sell art to each other to try to inflate the price, not to mention the way it’s used as a soft power by national governments. I was feeling cynical about this kind of stuff when I left art school. With music, it feels different. Music is people coming together, especially underground music. It feels less selfish, less “here is my individual expression”. For that reason, I think that music has a lot more power to change society than art. They both have a limited power to change society, of course, but it feels that music makes a greater impact in the real world, whereas art is like, you go to the white box, you look at a thing and you say “hmm, ah, ok” and then maybe someone is going to buy it for a lot of money. To make art you need money and space. Especially in Japan, people don’t really have space: you don’t have the floor space to make artwork, and people don’t have the wall space to hang it up. I think that explains why tattoos are so popular. It’s an artwork you carry on your body. So for people that can’t own property, it suits them very well! So what is your approach when making clothes? Does it feel more like art or more like music? I have a mundane approach. I have a lot of respect for the practice of craft and the practice of repair. Stitching, embroidery, pottery: things that are useful in our daily lives, made due to necessity or to fill in time. That’s the kind of philosophy I would like to work within, even if I’m making some weird video or something. People need to wear clothes. As much as it’s self-expression, I think there is a fundamental need to clothe yourself. You don’t need a painting on your wall but you do need a shirt on your back. What connection do you feel with the clothes you create? Is it different from what you feel about the clothes you buy? I think that things like fast fashion mean that the production of clothes is disconnected from people: it’s happening on this massive scale that is very alienated from consumption. Buying clothes is almost like the sensation of flipping through Tinder or Instagram. You just go “next, next, next”. It’s too easy and cheap to get something new. It’s this very light thing, which obviously produces a lot of waste and human misery. I’m probably more critical of the clothes I make than the clothes I buy. But I never know if I’ll miss something once it’s sold! Your clothes are unisex. Do you think about sizes when you are making them? In terms of body shapes, I think that big clothing companies have a set idea of what is good and what fits people. That limits the designs. Every person who wears a piece of clothing makes it different. The way they style it, the shape of their body… That is why I like to make custom-made clothes, so anybody can share with me what they want or need and wear something that I made. I also want to encourage men to wear skirts, it’s fun! Of course, it was scary for me at first: you think people are going to judge you, beat you up, or say something mean, or you’re going to look like a freak, like a pervert… all these terrible things. Men’s fashion is very conservative, it’s the reflection of the wider socialization of men. It’s hard to step out of these boundaries of how things look. Do you think that we could make a change if we start repairing or modifying clothes? It’s a very complex problem. At least if we reuse or repair fast fashion clothes, we will be dealing with the situation as it is now. There is such a surplus of clothes that most of them are ending up in landfills. So if you can find a way to wear your clothes more, or wear them differently, or use them as materials to make a new thing, that will at least alleviate the impact on a personal level. In terms of big social problems, I’m aware that if we really want to change these big companies, we need governments to apply pressure and modify their internal policies. Something very critical has to change on a big scale.

The ISAO 300-1: Introduction to Information Sharing document introduces the topic of cybersecurity information sharing. The intent is to provide a foundation for those trying to understand the basics of information sharing as it relates to Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations (ISAOs). This document describes a conceptual framework for information sharing, information sharing concepts, the types of cybersecurity information an organization may want to share, ways an organization can facilitate information sharing, as well as privacy and security concerns to be considered. Information sharing is intended to help those managing and operationally mitigating cybersecurity risks. The nature of cybersecurity has and will continue to evolve over time. Information sharing efforts should also evolve to keep pace with changes in the cybersecurity landscape. This document provides the reader with basic information on topics and capabilities involved in cybersecurity information sharing. Additionally, it offers elements of a cybersecurity information sharing program for those considering forming a new ISAO as well as for existing ISAOs that are reviewing how to further align with their member needs.

Translation of original speech in French: Citizen4Science – Please report any errors/omissions to us – video: bottom Question: Professor Didier Raoult, what do you think of the epidemic situation in England? It shows, as it has always shown since the beginning, that new diseases are totally unpredictable. They are complex. That therefore, uh, the general press, which would like to have simple solutions to the incredible fire that has been unleashed, thinks each time that there is going to be a magic wand to change things and it is not the case, so, three weeks ago they said look at England, they are really the best, they vaccinated everyone, look, it’s extraordinary, there are more cases in England. Except that, if there are more cases in England, I remind you that when I started to talk about variants, nobody at Le Monde, my paper was refused three times, nobody at Le Monde wanted to accept the idea that the reason why were variants, that it was not just the rebound of something but what you see here are epidemic curves. Each time, a new epidemic, and this one that is starting in England, which we don’t know the dimension it will take, is an epidemic due to the Indian variant, we do not have to call it the Indian variant anymore, now we call it the delta variant, not to say that it is the Indians who did it, It is not them who did it, this, these first cases that appeared are there, but in any case, it is still there and inside now they are at more than 10,000 cases per day of which 20% are vaccinated so uh, the, when I said there is no magic wand we must use the vaccine like other weapons, especially for the most fragile populations. I agree with myself, I continue to agree with myself, so, you can see that there is no uh The fight is not only to try to organize social measures to prevent people from having a more or less reasonable life, nor to vaccinate everyone, we must also fight, This is what I think is an essential element that has been neglected, and I will come back to it, we have to take care of people, to organize care, where things have gone the worst in the world is in London. In practice, it is the organization of care and the fact of transforming this epidemic into a vast field of experimentation for new drugs or vaccines, so we must first take care of the patients, take care of them calmly, correctly, test all the possibilities, not forbid the use of harmless drugs in which people may have found that it had some use. We have entered a world that is entirely ideological and cannot be convinced by observation, that is to say that it is an extraordinary observation, that of India was an extraordinary observation, well the press, part of the press, was happy that there were cases in India, saying look, they are using hydroxychloroquine, there are cases anyway, but finally the epidemic is falling back and I don’t see anyone saying that it is because of hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, which has just been included in the recommended drugs. So epidemics do not obey the press or politicians, they do not obey anyone, so when we are facing an epidemic, we have to try to evaluate the measures. We have to accept to question the strategies and the general orientations that we have given when we see that we are, the victory is not there, so, we have to continue to fight so we have to come back to medical care, health, doctors, so as to avoid the maximum damage during this epidemic. Question: What is the status of the verification of publications following the denunciations made by Ms. Bik and on the PubPeer site? Yes it is, [inaudible] it is, it is actually quite interesting that some of the press, now, where she herself is now screaming saying that she is the one who is being harassed, well, I personally do not know her, I have never spoken to her, I have never replied to her, I don’t know who this lady is, nor why she is getting so excited about us, I don’t know what happened to her. There are several hypotheses that I have and that I do not want to present because it is going to be, it is all going to be filed with justice, I am not going to discuss with her to know about each or every one of the things, about all the points that she blames me for, it took us 200 hours of work, you see, to do this: Which is the response to the 246 comments, see, that there was on PubPeer, I am passing this on to justice, I am passing this on to the President of the University so that we can see how far it is exclusively harassment, it is nothing but harassment that took me, which took us a long time to respond, but I usually respond to every question, not to the press, but as a I am a professional, answering point by point, so there are 70% of the observations that concern so-called ethics. I hope that Mrs. Bik, and her, the people who follow her, consider that analyzing human droppings is human sampling, which is a fundamental error, droppings are waste, they are not human samples and if they have not been collected for a specific purpose If they have not been collected for a specific purpose, they are nothing more than waste and therefore, from the moment there is no longer any link between the person who has produced the poop and the poop, there is no particular problem, lice are not human samples either. You have to explain it to her, because it was, including a newspaper that must have had someone who did not quite understand either, who asked if an Ethics Committee had been requested to remove lice from clothing, okay, no, but, so, we have arrived at people who have a notion, notions of ethics and science that are ridiculous uh, the, and the rest, is of the same nature. She has instruments to detect publications that are very very rustic next to what we are able to do at the expense [inaudible] become specialists in duplication analysis, with real tools, not with Photoshop, if you want, serious stuff, uh, and so, uh, there you go, all that uh, and then the, his opinions on what we do, the fact that we are neo-colonialists, that we shouldn’t name the Massiliensis bacteria all that, it is slander that has no, slander so at the end of the day it is not a subject for discussion, it is not a subject for dialogue. It is, it is, there are people who harass us, we have to defend ourselves, like all people we have the right to respond when we are harassed. So, the answer to the harassment is to say, listen, now stop or it is justice that does it, but we have, you know, even, when she removes little by little the terrible things that she put on the Internet, the last thing that she put is, you know, the, there are people who are over 80 years old who are dying, they are refused by the resuscitation and so we said listen, we are going to publish, listen with the Optiflow we manage to save some of them, there are lots of people who use it since then. And so she made a text message saying we do not do any control, the control was dead. The controls, die if you do not oxygenate someone so that means, she is no doctor she does not know what a sick person is, and she makes comments that are, it is, i iss called the, the parachute paradigm so you know we never, for the parachute, we never did a control group to try the parachute, see, so we never said listen [inaudible] jump with an empty bag, the others, jump with a parachute, to know if you die when you jump without a parachute. That’s called the parachute paradigm. That is to say, for the Optiflow, people who die and you have to do a control group to see if you don not put them in the Optiflow if they really die, but it is that is to say, you can see the total disconnection that we have in this world now between the observed reality that is the one that we see, I do not know, treating 35,000 people, so this, we know what we are talking about, it is reality, these are real things, they are there, you can not make people disappear, a magic wand you cannot make them reappear. It is true and so there are people who, who have opinions on everything and there has been this kind of madness around, around this disease, and around treatments that uh, are not profitable which, which, which, which really raises a question. Question : What do you think should be done in the future? In the future, I think that we must do what I thought about twenty years ago, that is what I wrote in my report to the Ministry, that I had, that I spent my time repeating, we must organize ourselves, that is to say, the organization of care must be achieved. We need to have centres like our that can really take care of the patients rather than talking about them, okay, we need to use all the possibilities, the idea that, that we ban the use of drugs that are harmless, that we try to make people believe that they are toxic, against all evidence and that it works, it’s one of the greatest mysteries of what I have seen, how we could make people believe that a drug that must have been prescribed 50 billion times. So if Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine were so toxic, how people could be made to believe that, how people could swallow such a thing is something that is unheard of, what had to be studied in this situation and from the beginning, it is , well, there is a new drug, let’s study its toxicity thoroughly because that is the problem, the toxicity of the drugs that we know, we already know it, we are not going to reinvent it in the same way. And now, I am happy, we are starting to see the real data that are available from the ANSM, that is to say, from the national drug agency, with the General Director of Health (DGS), with INSERM to understand why they stopped the work on Hydroxychloroquine in the middle of the process when they were showing that it worked and that it was published without the number of cases necessary to demonstrate that it worked. I am glad that they try to give us lessons in methodology and I am always glad to learn, but the basis of the method is when you define something it is to know how many people you need in each group to show that there is a difference. If you do not have enough people to show that there is a difference in death, for example, if you don’t have enough people in each group to show that there is a difference in death, for example, of 50%, then the study is not significant, the study does not make sense. But to stop it in the middle of the study when you have not reached the minimum objectives to show something like that, it is absolutely necessary that you cannot show that it works. So I am happy that this paper has just been accepted, where we explain that the official work that was done on the evaluation of Hydroxychloroquine by other teams than ours did not have sufficient numbers to conclude that there was a trend, that there were fewer deaths in the Hydroxychloroquine group, so one day this will have to be explained, now we have the letters, we will see what happened, we will see, you see, I am not worried about the future, it is the same, these decisions, these terse decisions, the ban on prescribing a drug that was prescribed in millions of doses per year or now banning the use of ivermectin here when it is recommended in India or in Argentina, we can see that all this is not done in the name of reason. There is not a different reason here, where there is much more trouble, in Europe, which has been the place with the United States where there have been the most deaths and the worst management, we do not have a better conception of medicine than the Indians, the Argentinians the Chinese, the Koreans, it’s, it’s, it’s not exact, so inside it’s a basic reconsideration, with a real reflection. I hope that there will be a thorough reflection and that, I don’t know, will pass either by justice, or by a new parliamentary inquiry, with perhaps a new parliamentary inquiry, by a new parliamentary inquiry, with perhaps a new parliament to review and understand how we arrived at things that no one can understand unless they become conspiracy theorists, that is to say that all this, there is a phenomenal manipulation in this epidemic so, I am waiting to know if all this was a succession of stupid things with people who are afraid to go back or to contradict themselves or what is going on so that we do things that are so implausible. « Merci beaucoup »

Hey, if you’re feeling a bit bleak about your screenwriting journey lately then you need to read this. We all get a little down and this climb up the mountain can seem futile and pointless at times. I myself am going through my own doubt and paranoia despite my recent success stories and having actually gotten an assignment and made a movie. It’s amazing how quick the pessimism can creep back in when things slow down. So, let’s do something about that. Let’s remind ourselves why we write screenplays and rediscover that motivation we need to not only continue our journey but enjoy every step. Writing Is Therapy We find ourselves writing for a reason and that reason is art. What is art? Art is the expression of profound truths by those who possess high emotional intelligence but live in a society that fears uninhibited honesty. Art is the solitary place we go to where we’re free to express what we need to share in a medium that can connect us with those who feel the same. Not only do we communicate what we need to say through our art but we get to discover our tribe through it too. That’s good for us and good for others and ultimately an incredible thing we humans engage in as we use story to entertain, educate, and stimulate our fellow humans. We self actualise from writing, help others grow, and ultimate help define a more wholesome social culture for the generations to come. That’s amazing. What we do is amazing. We Have No Barrier to Entry to Fear While we have a pen and paper, we are boundless in our opportunity to channel the wild and abstract in our imaginations into hard copy that can be made abundant and consumed by all. Admittedly we need a typewriter, or preferably a computer, to distill things into a screenplay but times couldn’t be any better. The technology is cheap, the software free, the resources abundant, and the networking at our doorstep. Time is our only commodity and fear is our only hurdle. This is a craft so pure it transcends any need for qualification and begs nothing of us other than the dedication to take in the world and the bravery to delve into ourselves. There is no permit to register for, no license to attain, nor any certificate validate our worthiness, just the commitment needed to pledge our dedication to the art form. Our Individual Voice Is Incredibly Valuable Where other roles value conformity ours begs individuality. Our unique voice is of immense worth to ourselves, our clients, and our audience. We all discover our own truths while we walk our own journey and reflect on our experiences. This is a world where diversity is not only an asset but the very foundation of our offering. This is a world where weird is wonderful, where geeky is glorious, and censored sensational. The more awkward a piece we may be in life’s big jigsaw the more fascinating a person we are in humanity’s great puzzle – our clumsy extremities and difficult notches becoming our complex beauty and unwavering authenticity. We all have a tapestry to weave with our words where each tale flowing into the next will form a portfolio we can step back from confident it represents us and the legacy we want to leave. It Doesn’t Have to be a Competition We all get to decide if it’s the awards that matter deeply to us or if it’s simply the act of writing, and yes we can chose to care about both in moderation. If we are fulfilling our need to write then we are already winning since we are doing what so many fail to start continue with. Providing we accept that we live in a subjective world, we do not have to see our fellow writers as competitors. We cannot force people to love our creations and, when it comes to commerciality, it may be other writers who find themselves in the right time and right place with their values, tone, and voice. That does not mean they are better artists, just that they are better aligned with today’s marketplace and, in fact, we may find appreciation later in life. We can be thankful we’re writing in a time when it’s so easy to share our work online. This Is One of the Most Fun Jobs in the World When we get this right, it’s everything not to have to stop and pinch ourselves to make sure it’s not a dream. Screenwriting can be and should be incredible fun as we open the floodgates of our imagination and take part in adventure after adventure. We get to sit front row with our protagonists, we get to feel every character’s emotions, we get to ride along through the action, and we get to slay the dragon by the hero’s side. Plus, if we do manage to turn our hobby into a career, we get the bonus of getting paid for the privilege and watching a group of talented creatives take our words and turn them into reality so others can experience what goes on in our heads every day. Not everyone is blessed with a visual imagination and even fewer have a highly visual one. What an incredible role in life to fill; to be one of the dreamers. So, hopefully this blog will serve as a reminder of just how much reward and opportunity screenwriting offers to us not only toward the end of the journey but right from day one. If you you’re thinking of taking up the craft but unsure, let these be the reasons to jump right in. If you’re years into this and feeling exhausted, let these be the reasons to continue.

Sam Durant (born 1961 in Seattle, USA; lives and works in Los Angeles, USA). Foam core, cardboard, Plexiglass, tape, spray enamel, wood, and metal; various sizes. Seen above: Abandoned House #4, 64.8 x 104.14 x 11.43 cm. An installation from 1996 for Roger Merians Gallery in New York. Consisted of six sculptures and dozens of small photocopied collages made between 1994 and 1996, in which Durant defiled the concept of the pristine modernist home. Sculptures were cheap copies of Case Study homes made from raw foam core and cardboard with wobbly bases. Buildings by architects such as Neutra, Koenig, Killingsworth, Brady, and Smith were burned, riddled with holes, and defaced. Referenced Robert Smithson and his concept of entropy. “The Case Study Houses were an experiment in residential architecture, designed by major architects to provide inexpensive and efficient model homes in response to the post-war American housing boom. Durant has made a series of scale replicas of the houses in states of disrepair. Case Study no.22, the Stahl House, was designed and built by Pierre Koenig in 1960 and has become a modernist icon. Durant’s model has holes knocked through the walls and is littered with debris, suggesting decline and degradation, and the failure of this utopian ideal.” —”Abandoned House #1 (Case Study #22),” Tate, last modified April 2008.

This oat and honey granola is so easy to make and is perfect for breakfast or as a snack. All you need is 10 minutes to get this prepped and in the oven. Gluten free and naturally sweetened…it’s the best gluten-free granola recipe. Why This Recipe Works - EASY – 10 minutes, and simple ingredients, is all you need to prep this easy granola and then you let the oven do the rest of the work. - CUSTOMIZABLE – this granola recipe calls for basic ingredients, but there are many ways to customize! Skip the almonds to make a nut-free granola, or switch out the dried apricots for your favorite dried fruit. Many ways to make to your liking. - DIETARY NEEDS – gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and an option for nut-free. - HEALTHY – free of refined oils and refined sugars! OATS- you’ll want to use old-fashioned or rolled oats for this granola (old-fashioned and rolled oats are the same thing) – do not use quick-cooking oats (they won’t bake up the same). Make sure to use certified gluten-free if you follow a gluten-free diet. ALMONDS – I like sliced almonds, but you could use whole almonds or a different kind of nut; pecans or walnuts would be great! HONEY - I like to use raw honey, but regular honey also works in this recipe. NUT-FREE? If you are looking for a nut-free granola, replace the sliced almonds with pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and/or sunflower seeds (out of the shell). COCONUT - you can use either dried shredded coconut or dried coconut chips; just make sure there are no added sugars. DRIED APRICOTS – any dried fruit will work, I just love the flavor of the apricots with the simplicity of the granola. COCONUT OIL – I prefer to use virgin coconut oil (also known as unrefined) - don't worry about the taste - you will not be able to taste the coconut in the finished granola. However, you can use refined coconut oil if you want. Tips for Keeping the Ingredients Clean These are specific things I look for in order to keep the ingredients used in this oat and honey granola clean. Ingredients not listed don’t have any specifications when it comes to keeping/purchasing them clean. And if you don’t use items with my recommendations below, the recipe will still turn out great. Oats – like with most grains, oats that are not genetically engineered, are sprayed with glyphosate (an herbicide that’s been linked to an increase cancer risk) prior to being harvested. Because of this, organic is best to ensure this herbicide does not make its way into your oats. Almonds - because of the potential for PPO and glyphosate being found on conventional almonds, I opt for organic. Honey – honey can be a great natural sweetener, but make sure it is raw honey. Regular honey is pasteurized and has gone through more processing, which can reduce the nutrients in the honey. Dried apricots – the dried apricots shouldn't' have any added sugars or preservatives; the only ingredient should be the apricots. Same goes for any dried fruit. Follow these simple steps to make the best gluten-free granola recipe! Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a small separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and mix well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Step 2: Mix everything until all oats are coated and wet ingredients are fully incorporated with the dry ingredients. Step 3: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly spread the granola on the pan. Using the back of a spoon, or spatula, push the granola lightly down into the pan. Step 4: Bake at 250 for about an hour, mixing every 20 minutes. While the granola is baking, chop the dried apricots. Step 6: Allow to fully cool to room temperature and then mix in the dried apricots. Step 7: Enjoy your oat and honey granola! The trick to getting nice clumps/clusters in granola is making sure you push the granola into the pan before baking and after you mix throughout the baking time. In addition, allowing the granola to fully cool on the baking sheet before mixing in the dried fruit helps clusters to form. It can be tempting to mix/try it right away, but don't do it... it's worth the wait. Make sure to store in an airtight container and it will last for up to two weeks. Notes & Tips - Baking: Granola is very sensitive with baking time – a few extra minutes and you’ll have burnt granola. If you don’t bake long enough, you won’t get the perfect crunchy granola you long for. You’ll know it’s done when the granola on the outer edges of the pan begin to turn light golden brown and the granola is very fragrant. - Let granola cool: The granola will still be soft when it’s done; don’t worry about this. The granola will continue to harden as it cools. Allow granola to cool for at least 30 minutes (this also helps some nice clusters to form). - Customize: Swap the dried apricots for your favorite dried fruit, swap out the almonds for pumpkin seeds and/or sesame seeds for some nut-free granola, or play around with different types of nuts (walnuts and pecans would be great). - Serving: There are lots of ways to enjoy this granola! You can eat it as a snack, with some milk, sprinkled on ice cream, sprinkled over some pancakes or waffles, or add to some slices apples with peanut butter for some apple nachos!

Easy Oat and Honey Granola - 4 cups gluten-free rolled oats - 1 ½ cups sliced almonds - 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut - 1 tsp. cinnamon - ¾ tsp. fine sea salt (½ tsp. is using regular table salt) - 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract - ½ cup coconut oil, melted - ½ cup raw honey - 1 ½ cups dried apricots, chopped - Preheat oven to 250 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Mix oats, almonds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. - In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla, coconut oil, and honey. Add this to the bowl with the oats. - Mix ingredients together until all oats are coated and wet ingredients are fully incorporated. - Evenly spread granola mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Lightly push the granola into the pan (this will help to create some nice clusters in the finished granola). - Bake for 60-70 minutes, stirring the granola every 20 minutes. After stirring, evenly push the granola back onto the pan (see recipe notes). You’ll know it's done when the granola on the outer edges of the pan begin to turn light golden brown and the granola is very fragrant. - Let cool to room temperature (about 30/45 minutes) and then mix in the dried apricots. Allowing granola to completely cool before mixing will keep some granola chunks in the mix. - Store in an airtight container and enjoy! - If not gluten free, you can use regular oats. Do not use quick cooking oats. - For the coconut, you can use either shredded coconut or coconut chips. Just make sure it's dried and unsweetened. - If you're honey isn't completely smooth or liquid, you can throw it in the microwave for about 10 seconds before mixing with the oil and vanilla (raw honey can sometimes be little more solid). - Regular honey will work too if you don't have raw honey. - To get some nice clusters in your granola, push granola back into the pan each time you stir (you can use a spatula or the back of a spoon). - The granola will still be soft when it’s done; don’t’ worry about this. The granola will continue to harden as it cools.

As a kindergartner, Tiffany Kaplan's daughter came home each day from Laurel School buzzing about "Jeff and Steph" and all of the cool things she was learning from the pair. They taught her that Antarcticas Adelie penguins poke holes in the ice to reach their underwater feeding grounds. She learned that hot water thrown out a window into the -18 degree Celsius Antarctican air will freeze before hitting the ground, and the ways that polar sea worms adapt to extreme environments. But "Jeff and Steph" weren't teachers in Laurel's kindergarten classroom. They were Jeff Bowman and Stephanie Guida, researchers at McMurdo Station in Antarctica, the logistics hub of the National Science Foundation's U.S. Antartic program. As part of a unit on Antarctica, kindergarten teacher Julie Haylor connected with the McMurdo research team via Skype for a half-hour question-and-answer session with her class. They demonstrated the cool water-into-ice trick and how tough it is to get into the protective suit they must wear outdoors. When the McMurdo team offered to fly a Laurel flag above the station for a day — a tool they use to test wind speed — the class banded together to decorate a canvas flag with their own artwork and the Laurel logo. The day it flew, the class watched their flag in real time on the classroom SmartBoard and got it returned by mail with the researcher's signature. "What a great life lesson for them to create something like this and send it to the bottom of the earth," says Kaplan. "Julie just brought Antarctica to life for these girls." It's the type of lesson no field trip could duplicate, nor could any other traditional education techniques. The use of technology has radically changed the way education is delivered at the elementary level. Through the use of iPads, educational apps, Skype, SmartBoards, digital textbooks and more, the focus of schools is now shifting from basic technology access — such as ratios of computers to students — to outcome-oriented lesson plans using tech tools. "Our focus is on the process rather than the product," says Brad Gill, director of Hawken's lower school. "Long gone are the days of just putting a group of students in a computer room." Access versus Success "You can equip a school with state-of-the-art technology, but if it's not being used in the right way, it's worthless," says Gail Stein, director of the lower school at University School. Pilot programs among elementary schools both public and private have strived to identify what a successful technology program looks like. "Success means you got the learning outcome from it you expected, and it usually surpasses expectations," says Carole Lechleitner, Hathaway Brown's primary school and early childhood technology coordinator. "The trend is to take the technology and put it in the hands of the students." The tool of choice to achieve that goal today is the iPad. It's highly portable and intuitive, even for the youngest of children. It's also technology that many kids are already familiar with from home. Apps allow access to virtually endless educational opportunities at a low cost, and the modality facilitates collaboration as opposed to solitary use. "A laptop creates a barrier between students," says Larry Goodman, the head of school and library studies teacher at The Lillian and Betty Ratner School. "An iPad lets students look at each other and the teacher. Little ones need a lot of contextual cues." Goodman's students use iPads for work in clusters, collaborating on projects. Some schools have iPads set aside for each classroom, even if they haven't reached a one-to-one ratio of devices to student. Other schools have invested in a few sets that can be "checked out" by a particular teacher for a lesson plan. Experimentation rules the day; teachers research new apps, software and other tools to find which will achieve those goals. At Hawken School, a wiki space allows teachers to share feedback on how they've used new technology and the results they achieved. Case in point: Variety among tech tools allows teachers to reach kids with different learning styles in the best way possible. "Some kids are visual learners. Some are auditory learners. Some are very artistic," says Stein, whose one-to-one laptop ratio initiative starts in fourth grade. "Where the tech part can come in is in creativity and innovation. The creation part is exciting for kids." Global Outlook, Personal Application After making a connection with a teacher in Sweden, Hathaway Brown fourth-grade teacher Mary Boutton began looking for ways to connect her class to these Swedish students. Boutton's students and their Swedish counterparts used video-conferencing technology to read and analyze the same book. They established a blog to discuss the book and get to know their new Swedish friends, and used Google Docs to collaboratively write a new story. Whether it's Antarctica or Sweden, connecting students to the world is one of the top ways technology is used in today's classrooms. But just as important as accessing a world full of technology is understanding a child's place in it, says Goodman. "I want to demystify technology," he says. "I don't want them to think there's this magical place where all the information comes from." He gets down on his hands and knees to show every class where the wires into their network begin, leading them through the school's server room and outdoors to where they connect to the outside world. Goodman believes that the best use of technology should take students beyond the reach of first-person observation, but "we shouldn't use technology to teach habitats when we can walk outside and do the same thing." Many schools are using the power of iPads to create tools that more powerfully communicate within the school community, from parent to teacher, teacher to student, and parent to student. At the beginning of last school year, Hawken School's third-graders used an iPad to record themselves talking about their goals and hopes for the year. When parents came to the school for the standard beginning-of-the-year open house, they were presented with their child's iPad. "They got an undiluted, honest child looking back at them and sharing their hopes and dreams," says Gill. "It broke a stereotype of technology being isolating and cold." Open Door Christian Schools used a live feed between its campus and site of its annual fundraising dinner to stage an Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? competition. "[The attendees] assumed they were in the same building," says Angie Lowe, Open Door's elementary principal. "They were shocked that the kids were back at school." Doing It Right It's new, it's cool and it's exciting. But there remains hesitation among some parents and educators toward allowing technology to pervade time-tested classroom approaches. "Responsible use of technology means that we don't neglect the fundamentals," says Goodman. "We don't read all day long, we don't do math all day long, we're not on the computer all day long. If we are a responsible school, we will be responsible in the way we integrate technology." Lowe returned to the classroom last year after staying home to raise her six children, and recalls her own fears as a parent. "I would say, They want so much technology at home, why do they need more? Can't we just stick to the basics?" says Lowe, whose school now has at least two iPads per classroom. "But now I see the excitement and passion they have, so we need to capitalize on it." To ensure safe and acceptable use, Lechleitner uses kid-friendly search engines — examples include KidRex.com (powered by Google) and QuinturaKids.com (also available as an app) — and uses the iPad's parental controls to limit improper use. Learning to sift through the Internet's debris to find accurate information is another part of today's technology curriculum. "Our priority is still at developing literacy and numeric skills in lower school," says Gill. "Our objectives haven't changed, but the methods we use have. Technology hasn't superseded anything." Ultimately, Stein and others say it's about embracing new ways of learning in balance with fundamental educational principles. "It can't be their world and our world," she says. "It's part of their digital life. School can't be so far removed from the way they live their lives." These aren't objections Kaplan hears very often from fellow parents of elementary-age kids. Most are enthusiastic about how technology is changing their children's classrooms and excited to see what's next. She sees the evidence in her home, too. It's been nearly a year since Kaplan's daughter got to know Jeff and Steph, but the lesson's stayed lodged in her brain. She still talks about those penguins and asked for books about Antarctica's wandering albatross. When one acquaintance expressed concern about so much tech in the classroom, Kaplan's reaction was swift.

THAT ISN’T WHAT ‘AUSTERITY’ MEANS by Richard Seymour The issue is the claim that working-class consumers in the ‘global North’ may have less of certain commodities under ecosocialism than under capitalism. What is rational to produce and transport half way round the world under capitalism might not be so rational under ecosocialism. Bananas are actually a bad example. Their carbon footprint isn’t very big and could be reduced. Meat reared in the ruins of Brazilian rainforests, or palm oil produced in monoculture plantations in Indonesia, would be better examples. By far the best answer to this debate is Arun Gupta’s Dissent column, which suggests that we can do better than choosing between more or less of the current run of poor-quality foods. It is a poor Prometheanism indeed that thinks socialism consists of offering workers more of what capitalism already delivers. It sidesteps the question of desire, to which all privation and abundance is relative. But the suggestion that workers need have less of anything is profoundly triggering to a certain kind of socialist. And like Pavlov’s bell to a hungry dog, it has caused drooling utterance of the word ‘austerity’ on more than one occasion. The debate is coarsened by these boorish tics, which I think probably originated with Leigh Phillips of the Breakthrough Institute. Austerity cannot be accurately summed up as a “politics of less,” especially where “less” means less of certain products like air travel or beef. It is not austerity if we collectively agree, in a democratically planned economy, that it would make sense to do with less of this or that product. To read austerity in that way is to give it a curiously depoliticized inflection, stripped of class analysis. The purpose of austerity, crudely put, is to make workers pay for capitalist crisis, to insulate the system from democratic challenges produced by that crisis, and by these means to enable capital accumulation to resume on a more profitable basis. It is very much on the side of ‘growth’ in that sense. It is also counter-democratic. Austerity begins with the logic of emergency, usually occasioned by a public debt crisis, overriding normal democratic procedures. It almost invariably entails the temporary closure of space for debate in the national media, the creation of special ‘independent’ apparatuses to oversee fiscal cuts, and the investment of special authority in unaccountable international financial institutions. As a ferociously moralizing discourse is directed at prior laxity in state spending, rights and entitlements, the only debate permitted is how to effectively free the state from these entanglements. Does it need to be spelled out that restricting ‘growth’ in a democratically planned economy, even if that were misguided, even if it were based on some spurious reasoning, in no way resembles a capitalist austerity regime? Why, then, does this ideologeme keep coming up? Is it because of the innate difficulty in imagining a planned economy that isn’t directed by a reformed and expanded version of the current capitalist state, such that any such constraints would have to be ‘imposed’? Is it because of the difficulty in envisioning a utopian desire that doesn’t simply augment and inflame the desires already elicited by the capitalist world-market? Is it because of a doctrinaire interpretation of ‘what Marx says,’ in which socialism is tendentiously interpreted as the unleashing of capital’s already prodigious productive powers? Is it because of a lurking suspicion that people just aren’t ready to give up their toys for some will-o-the-wisp degrowth socialism? Whatever the reason, growthers no less than degrowthers are fixated on quantitative thinking, on the idea that everything hinges on the expansion or contraction of the net amount of product, as though the change we seek is not fundamentally a qualitative one. As though the point were to amass more ‘stuff,’ rather than to fundamentally improve the quality of life for everyone. And from that point of view, even a drastic improvement in the circumstances of the majority of workers’ lives could, through the camera obscura, look like ‘austerity’ if it also means ‘less’ of some things. Richard Seymour’s most recent book is The Twittering Machine: How Capitalism Stole Our Social Life. This article was first published September 12 on his reader-supporter blog: he has kindly given C&C permission to repost it.

Text by CLOT Magazine TBA21-Academy can’t stop surprising us with multidisciplinary projects and commissions. And for this one, they have as involved the most renowned sound artists and musicians. freq_wave is the second cycle of installations that started with freq_out in 2002 (a sound installation comprising 12 individual sound works, each utilising a specific frequency range, made on-site, and amplified to act as a single, generative sound space). A freq_wave is a rogue wave: unpredictable, sudden, and can impact with tremendous force. Curated by Carl Michael von Hausswolff and co-curated by Alonso Vázquez, this commission includes the work of 84 sound artists whose compositions integrate hydrophone recordings within the aquatic frequency ranges audible to the human ear. The sounds are mapped in an interactive web, where one can reproduce and explore the different sounds. This collaboration, the team says, springs from a spontaneous act of solidarity and the will to connect and express ourselves, bringing oceanic creativity to the fore. The project launched on Ocean Archive on May 23, 2020, and meanders along the Trajectories of TBA21–Academy’s latest long-term research commission, Territorial Agency: Oceans in Transformation. In the form of a short statement or manifesto, they state: This is also an act of remembering. Our current health and economic crisis are inextricably linked to the long-lasting climate chaos, social inequalities and environmental injustices violently manifesting amongst many humans and other than humans around the world. We see a future in collaboration, imagination, and a bit of bravado, so we have created an extensive sound project spanning seven seas to show how art and culture can make the complexities of marine degradation and pollution audible and to bring attention to the delicate soundscapes of the sea. The artists were divided into groups of twelve and allocated a specific trajectory. Within them, each artist has used and generated sounds in a designated frequency range, creating a bathymetric constellation. The works are presented in seven online sound installations, addressing Territorial Agencies’ seven trajectories. The trajectories include routes across different seas and oceans, from the cold Norths seas to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific. While interacting with the ocean’s audial phenomena, we cannot help but imagine being submerged in these waters worldwide. Imagining other existences and finding ourselves in another world and revealing hidden ecosystems, and beginning to recognise our effects upon them.

Editor’s note: Today’s post is a Q&A with Jhanvi and Ketaki Shriram, founders of Krikey, an Augmented Reality gaming app that is live on iOS and Android. In 2019 Krikey launched their first location-based AR game (WINGSPAN) built with Google Maps Platform and sponsored by the National Audubon Society. But in the wake of COVID-19, they found themselves needing to make changes so their users can play their location-based game at home. How do you adapt a location-based game to be played at home? Jhanvi: It was really important to us that we retain the essence of birding (the concept of traveling to a different location to sight a bird) while creating an adaptation to our current situation. We loved the real world location component of our games and wanted to retain that even if we needed to quickly adapt for people to play at home. First we had to find a way to ensure players have the choice to play from home or while walking safely while social distancing. To do that, we introduced the teleport feature where players can tap on any pindrop on the map and ‘teleport’ there to collect a bird–without leaving their living rooms. To keep the map in our game (because users love discovering birds on it), we simply move the user to the latitude and longitude coordinates of a pindrop when they tap on it. Players get five seconds to choose whether they want to tap out and walk to the location. If not, they can tap ‘go now’ and the AR experience will load in their home. Ketaki: Our new teleport feature makes the game a lot easier to play. Players can zoom around their neighborhood map and collect food tokens and birds. Using the user’s current location and the coordinates of the desired pindrop, we can move the user’s avatar to the location of the pindrop. This allows them to enter the AR experience and collect birds without walking. We had to figure out a way to retain the “krikey-ness” of the experience–the delight in first discovery of a bird in Augmented Reality, and the competitiveness of the game. To do this we introduced badges and challenges. Badges can be found on your profile and earned by collecting certain groups of birds. Daily challenges provide the opportunity to earn special badges on particular days (ie; in the forest Friday challenge, players can earn a special badge only available that day for collecting the most forest birds). How have your users adapted to the changes? Jhanvi: Many of our users have actually continued to use the maps feature to explore their neighborhood, safely while social distancing. As people are forced to stay at home their only form of exercise is walking the streets around their home. One user shared with us that the game is a fun way for her to break up where she’s walking every day and to motivate her to stay positive and walk. Ketaki: A lot of our players find the app a great motivator to be more active. We added a leaderboard feature where we showcase top birders and the winners of our daily challenge in-app. It’s been a strong incentive for players to come back and more than one user has shared that the leaderboard motivates them to want to be in the top three every day. Jhanvi: A few of our users just hit a major milestone and collected over 150 birds in-app. Have you seen any trends in this new style of gameplay? Jhanvi: We’ve seen a lot of parents playing while walking with their kids, which is fantastic. With schools closed, some parents use the app as a form of ‘nature school’ for their children. For each bird collected, players earn a fact card, similar to a baseball trading card, that they can keep. Ketaki: As one of our users shared with us in a review, Wingspan is the perfect family friendly game to bring everyone together during this stressful time. To learn more about Krikey’s unique approach to gaming, read this past blog post.

Contact: Camille Roth The Centre Marc Bloch’s Humanités Numériques team brings together an inter-disciplinary group of researchers at the interface between the social sciences and the hard sciences (mathematics, computer science, digital modelling) that is developing a research program in digital humanities at the confluence of digitized humanities (research on digitized corpora and social simulation, social computing) and digital humanities, including the Internet and its communities. One of the team’s core focus areas is the study of the socio-semantic dynamics of various social systems, including those that constitute digital public space, employing methods equally borrowed from social network analysis, the sociology of usages, and the sociology of public space, or also the study of systems, corpus analysis, and the automatic processing of languages, and in a broader sense artificial intelligence. More detailed information here. This Research Pole organizes bimonthly internal meetings aimed at discussing “quali-quantitative” approaches. The point of these meetings is to present the work-in-progress carried out within the Pole’s framework and also to offer methodological workshops for training in digital approach (database generation, corpus construction, processing, and so on.). It is thus a forum for dialogue capable of generating new qualitative-quantitative research questions within the CMB.

Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there. We live in a time of messy, wicked problems. Issues around sustainable development (ecology, society, economy) cannot be solved alone by any one sector, discipline, government, or community. The challenges we face, such as climate change or spatial justice, demand unprecedented collaboration and government coordination. However, we are often presented with doom and gloom messaging that fails to bring people together, offer solutions, or pathways forward. What is the Solutions Agenda? To help Canadian communities become leaders in implementing sustainable community development, our research team created the ‘Solutions Agenda’. The concept for this action agenda emerged from the results of a 10-year Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Community Development at Royal Roads University, that explored what makes communities vital as well as climate change research in British Columbia. It ultimately reflects the unanimous belief of over 50 Canadians that the time is ripe for Canadian communities to become leaders in implementing climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as sustainable technologies, infrastructure, and building design and re-design. To uncover the key issues in sustainable development and to identify concrete solutions from across the country, Dr. Ann Dale moderated a series of conversations with expert panelists over a two-year period. Using our public e-Dialogue forum Changing the Conversation, a diverse group of leading innovators (researchers, practitioners, decision-makers, policy makers, and civil society leaders) joined our research team in real-time text-based conversations that addressed food security, energy, multi-functional spaces, cooperatives, mental health, rural revitalization, waste, and the future of work. These dynamic, informative, and solutions-oriented conversations were made publicly accessible as transcripts. They helped our research team identify concrete actions that were subsequently organized into 6 important themes: - access to opportunities and services, - climate change adaptation and mitigation, - social infrastructure, - physical infrastructure, - governance, and - new economic measurements. Each listing bold and ambitious actions. Our team then hosted a Peer-to-Peer Learning Exchange, which brought together over 50 participants from the e-dialogues. Together, they discussed strategies and approaches for guiding Canadian communities towards sustainable development. Their consensus for the new paths forward resulted in the Solutions Agenda. Key Takeaways for Museums The Solutions Agenda was built on a model of collaboration, cooperation, and conversation. What made it so successful, is that it identified solutions and actions based on input from a variety of innovators from multiple sectors who brought diverse experiences, ideas, and knowledge to the table. This model is perfect for museums as they mobilize around climate change adaptation and mitigation. Given the vast networks of museum workers and the existing public programs in place—namely speaking series, webinars, and workshops—bringing together a variety of stakeholders and engaging in dialogue can help the sector identify tangible solutions and actions around climate change. Furthermore, the supportive nature of museum networks can help mobilize these findings and ultimately effect social change and local action. Biodiversity Conservation Series We are currently leading an e-Dialogue series called Biodiversity Conversation: How important are the common loon and polar bears to Canadians, that is designed to increase civic awareness, engagement, and literacy on the importance of biodiversity conservation for all Canadians. We collaborated with Women for Nature, a Nature Canada initiative, to bring together female researchers, practitioners, and civil society leaders to explore biodiversity conservation (including Dr. Meg Beckel, President and CEO of the Canadian Museum of Nature). Following the conclusion of the series, we will draft another action agenda, co-authored with the expert panels, that will be circulated widely to the public and key decision-makers.

We're not going to pretend that a bicycle is as complex a vehicle as the Space Shuttle or bullet train. Still, when you're investing in a handmade bicycle, you want to know that you're working with people with the experience and knowledge to deliver a bike that is is not only exhilarating to ride, but also safe, long-lasting and fitted well. Since our first day in 1988, we have dedicated ourselves to smart designs that deliver upon your expectations. What are we known for? You may have first encountered our name when you began looking for a bike that the big bike brands don't pay a lot of attention to. Focusing on specialty bicycles such as tandems and new innovations like the now renowned S+S Bicycle Torque Coupling, the Rohloff Speedhub and the Pinion gearbox has earned Co-Motion a special place under amazing cyclists and in bike shops, garages living rooms and bike racks all over the world. Designing tandem bikes for two, three or four riders, bikes with Pinion geareboxes or Rohloff speedhubs presents challenges that may not seem obvious on the surface, and it is in fact our job to make them virtualy disappear. For example, how do you provide access for removal/replacement of a belt drive? Here, we design and manufacture special dropouts that incorporate a hidden single recessed bolt that allows the belt to slide into place. We make them in-house on a CNC mill. How do you ensure that S+S couplers are installed on the best place for a bicycle frame, not only in the best spot for frame separation and packing into travel cases, but also for best strength, alignment and longevity? For this we desingned a special process for coupler installation, special tubing that encapsulates the copupler into a butted section of frame tubing, and our own system for coupler location and packing. We solve problems by creating elegant, simple solutions and fabricate them right here. Because of our dedication to evolving every bike in our line, we make everything from our self-locking eccentric tandem bottom brackets, to dropouts, fork steerers, cable guides, braze-on fittings and more. At Co-Motion Cycles, design is more than just making a new model with a different color of graphics. Every bike we build derives its foundation from our broad experience. We do it all here not because we have to, but because we believe we can build a better bike with our own direct control over a more significant part of the process than perhaps any other bike maker can claim. We can show you what we do right here. Come and see us.

I watched this video earlier today and was intrigued by the phrasing of this question. When thinking of the goals we set out to accomplish, I believe a useful question to ask yourself is if you are committed to achieving these goals, or simply interested. What’s the difference? Interest in your goals means that you’ve thought about them, you may even be excited by the idea of them, but at the first sign of adversity, you’ll likely give up on them. When we’re simply interested and nothing more, we tend to let our own excuses, stories, and negative self-narratives keep us from doing the work when the work gets hard. We justify why we can’t do something or why we can simply do it later. Progress doesn’t happen here. Commitment to your goals means that you hold a shield around them; the stronger the shield (the commitment,) the more you can let go of negative stories and excuses that hold you back. Being committed to a stronger self means that we move forward despite our past problems, stories, or negative narratives. A committed person has all of that history but keeps chipping away at a stronger self every day; no excuses, no reasons why they can’t. Here are some questions for you to act on right now: - Remember a time where you felt short on a goal; were you committed or simply interested? - Remember a time where you became stronger and crushed your goals; were you simply interested, or full of commitment? - What is the one area of your life that by growing stronger, your whole life will improve? What daily habits will you fully commit to starting today? Feel free to let me know your answers. As with all my posts, I hope this doesn’t just make you think but inspires you to take life-changing action.

Whitepaper on Co-evaluation of Citizen Social Science This publication is based on the experiences collected over the course of 30 months while implementing participatory evaluation practices in the European funded research project CoAct. This citizen social science project’s primary goal was to address social concerns such as youth employment, mental healthcare, environmental justice and gender equality in the context of local citizen social science initiatives. Based on these experiences, we derived a set of 6 principles that we identified as highly relevant for the implementation of co-evaluation practices in citizen social science. The initial 6 principles have been shared with the citizen science community to collect feedback during 6 weeks. Here is the revised version that integrates feedback from the public consultation. 6 Principles to guide co-evaluation in citizen social science “Co-evaluation is very context sensitive and can be implemented in many ways. We believe that there is no cookbook that anyone can deliver to cater to all the different needs in citizen social science. However, a principles-based approach towards co-evaluation can give guidance. Principles – built on evidence – can help to reflect on the complexity of citizen social science and guide an inclusive learning process that may lead to desirable changes” (Kieslinger, Mayer, Schäfer, Schürz) In accordance with Patton (2010) and Cousins/Whitmore (1998) we consider a set of principles a useful tool that provides guidance especially for projects that are complex, involve many actors and require flexibility and adaptation. This approach stands in contrast to pre-defined evaluation processes that neither allow for the involvement of research participants in the evaluation design nor consider collaborative decision-making structures. Background information on co-evaluation Co-evaluation is a form of participatory evaluation that engages stakeholders in a conversation on expectations, objectives and impacts already at the start of the project. Co-evaluation is defined as a process that involves relevant actors of a scientific research project in an iterative evaluation practice applying participatory methodologies. Project goals and objectives, understandings of success, challenges, and unintended effects are collectively discussed and documented at the beginning of a project and regularly re-visited during the research design and execution, ideally even beyond the project’s end. Assessment and intended impacts hence become transparent entities in the project design. Co-evaluation takes a transformative stance, as it includes co-creation methods that aim not only at learning about a situation, but also at overcoming hindrances, tackling issues, and finding solutions to problems such as how to measure the success of a research project in terms of stakeholder benefits, putting particular emphasis on marginalised perspectives. The objectives of the co-evaluation are negotiated transparently and are intended to benefit both science and the participants. This means that the results of the co-evaluation also provide useful starting points for further action after the end of the project. Co-evaluation approaches & methods Co-evaluation has a strong emphasis on collective discussions, learning, and critical reflection. During the co-evaluation process, which is conducted as a team effort, the assessment procedures and applied methods may vary greatly in their manifestation, depending on the context. They include qualitative and quantitative methods, from surveys to storytelling, being open to any empirical data gathering method, so long as they are appropriate for the respective context and involved actors. Most importantly, co-evaluation is a reflective learning process that involves participants in evaluative decision making. Instead of proposing a set of predefined methods, co-evaluation builds on a set of principles while aiming to adapt the methods to the situative contexts.

Coordinated landing in a variety of animals involves the re-positioning of limbs prior to impact to safely decelerate the body. However, limb kinematics strategies for landing vary considerably among species. For example, human legs are increasingly flexed before impact as drop height increases, while turkeys increasingly extend their legs before impact with increasing drop height. In anurans, landing typically involves the use of the forelimbs to decelerate the body after impact. Few detailed, quantitative descriptions of anuran forelimb kinematics during jumping exist and it is not known whether they prepare for larger landing forces by changing forelimb kinematics. In this study, we used high-speed video of 51 hops from five cane toads (Bufo marinus) to test the hypothesis that forelimb kinematics change predictably with distance. We measured excursions of the elbow (flexion/extension) and humerus (protraction/retraction and elevation/depression) throughout every hop. The results indicate that elbow and humeral excursions leading up to impact increase significantly with hop length, but do so without any change in the rate of movement. Instead, because the animal is in the air longer during longer hops, near-constant velocity movements lead to the larger excursions. These larger excursions in elbow extension result in animals hitting the ground with more extended forelimbs in longer hops, which in turn allows animals to decelerate over a greater distance. Landing is an inevitable consequence of jumping. Coordinated landing requires energy dissipation over relatively long time periods, and in many vertebrate jumpers, limbs are used to extend the distance and time over which animals decelerate and dissipate energy after impact. A survey of kinematic strategies for landing suggests that limbs may be used in quite different ways across taxa to prepare for the moment of impact. For example, humans increasingly flex their legs as drop height increases, leading to a more flexed limb at impact during high drops (Ford et al., 2011; Hsu and Huang, 2002; Peng et al., 2011; Santello et al., 2001). In contrast, turkeys (Konow and Roberts, 2015) increasingly extend their legs with drop height, leading to more extended limbs at impact during larger drops. Additional studies of cats (McKinley and Smith, 1983) and monkeys (Dyhre-Poulsen and Laursen, 1984), did not emphasize effects of jump or drop distance on impact preparation kinematics, although both studies suggest that landing limbs are nearly fully extended at the point of impact. In anurans, the clade of vertebrates perhaps best known for using jumping as a primary means of locomotion, descriptions of limb kinematics in preparation for impact have remained largely qualitative. Several studies have shown that various anuran species prepare for high landing forces by moving their forelimbs anteriorly during the aerial phase of a jump to help brace for impact (Gillis et al., 2010; Griep et al., 2013; Nauwelaerts and Aerts, 2006; Peters et al., 1996). The degree to which the forelimbs are then able to decelerate the body varies markedly among species. Cane toads, Bufo marinus Linnaeus 1758, have recently received considerable attention as a model for studying the control of landing (Gillis et al., 2010; Akella and Gillis, 2011; Azizi and Abbott, 2013; Ekstrom and Gillis, 2015) because unlike more basal anurans, which often crash-land head or trunk first (Essner et al., 2010), cane toads routinely perform controlled, coordinated landings. To enable coordinated landing, they position their body and limbs appropriately in mid-air so as to align the ground reaction force vector close to the center of mass (Azizi et al., 2014), allowing them to balance on their forelimbs momentarily as they lower their hindlimbs to the ground (Akella and Gillis, 2011; Gillis et al., 2010; Griep et al., 2013). Such control prepares animals well for the next hop, and may enable their migratory capability by allowing them to effectively string together many short hops to cover large distances (Estoup et al., 2010; Phillips et al., 2007). A recent review focusing on landing behavior in cane toads suggests that landing preparation may be complex (Gillis et al., 2014). Like in humans, monkeys and cats (Magalhães and Goroso, 2009; McKinley and Smith, 1983; Santello and McDonagh, 1998), cane toads increase the intensity of pre-landing recruitment in antagonistic forelimb muscles in longer hops (Gillis et al., 2010; Ekstrom and Gillis, 2015), in preparation for greater impact forces (Nauwelaerts and Aerts, 2006). Given this distance-dependent pattern of pre-landing forelimb muscle recruitment in toads, associated forelimb movements might also change with hop length. Yet, previous examinations of anuran forelimb kinematics have not addressed this question, instead emphasizing important features of the landing event itself (Griep et al., 2013; Nauwelaerts and Aerts, 2006), the role of pectoral girdle anatomy (Emerson, 1983; Griep et al., 2013) or more general kinematics of the hop cycle (Peters et al., 1996). Recent work by Azizi and Abbott (2013) suggests that elbow excursions change with hop distance in B. marinus. During toad hopping, shortening and lengthening strains in the m. anconeus, a monoarticular elbow extensor, increase with hop length as the elbows extend before impact and flex after impact, respectively. Azizi and Abbott (2013) argue that these changes in fascicle strain before and after impact likely parallel one another and are important for preventing injuries associated with overstretching muscles involved in dissipating energy during landing (Azizi and Abbott, 2013). While one can infer distance-dependent elbow excursions based on these patterns of fascicle length change, such excursions have not been measured directly. A full kinematic description and analysis of forelimb movements during jumping in toads will improve our understanding of whether they alter limb kinematics in a way that helps to prevent muscular damage during landing. If toads modulate forelimb kinematics with distance, this analysis could also reveal how such modulation is achieved, giving us further insights into the control strategies involved. If forelimbs are extended more in longer hops, as is suggested by the Azizi and Abbott (2013) strain data, this could be the result of changing the rate of limb joint extension before impact and/or changing the duration over which these movements occur. These possibilities suggest distinct motor strategies that vary in complexity to achieve the same result at impact. In this study, we examined the 3D kinematics of the elbow joint and humerus in hopping cane toads to test whether elbow and humeral kinematics vary with hop distance. In particular, we measured the elbow angle and humeral configurations throughout each hop and determined the angular excursions and durations of each phase of the hop. We hypothesized that (1) in line with muscle fascicle strain data from toads (Azizi and Abbott, 2013), forelimbs will be more extended at impact in longer hops, and (2) increased elbow extension excursions before impact will parallel increased elbow flexion excursions after impact. For any forelimb excursions that change with hop distance, we determined whether such changes are a result of alterations in velocity and/or simply the duration available for movement. As electromyographic (EMG) data suggest that elbow extensor muscles are activated later and with greater pre-landing intensity in longer hops (Gillis et al., 2010), we hypothesized that elbows begin extending later and with a greater velocity in longer hops. A total of 51 hops from five animals (9–11 hops each) were used in this study. Hop distance ranged between 14 and 39 cm (mean±s.d., 25±5 cm). All other descriptive statistics are presented as means±s.d. of individual means in Tables 1 and 2 as well as in the text. Excursions of elbow extension, humeral protraction and humeral elevation are designated by positive values; elbow flexion, humeral retraction and humeral depression are designated by negative values. Phases of the hop All hops could be broken down into four phases using inflection points of the elbow angle, α (Figs 1, 2). The first phase, hop initiation, begins with the onset of animal movement (when the velocity of the toad increases beyond 5 cm s−1) and ends when the elbow begins to flex (α1 at T1; Fig. 2C). The second phase, forelimb lift-off, lasts until the elbow stops flexing (α2 at T2; Fig. 2C). The third phase, impact preparation, involves extension of the elbow and lasts until impact, at which point the elbow begins to flex again, signaling the final, landing phase (α3 at T3; Fig. 2C). The landing phase ends when the elbow stops flexing after impact (α4 at T4; Fig. 2C). Despite these stereotypical phases, there was considerable variation in the forelimb kinematics measured both within and between individuals (Fig. 3). Animals begin hops in a resting position with their elbows at close to a right angle (α0=79±14 deg) and humeri pointed posteriolaterally (β0=49±17 deg), and slightly toward the ground (δ0=172±11 deg) (see Fig. 1 for definitions of α, β and δ; α0, β0 and δ0 represent angular values at time 0, e.g. Fig. 2). Hop initiation begins as the hindlimbs start to extend and the animal is pushed up and forward (Fig. 2A). During this phase there is little forelimb movement (Fig. 2), although in several animals some elbow extension (α1−α0=10 to 20 deg) was observed, especially when they began with their elbows in a particularly flexed configuration. The average duration of the hop initiation phase (T1−T0) was 78±30 ms. As the hindlimbs continue to extend and the toad elevates, the forelimb lift-off phase begins, and is characterized by substantial elbow flexion (α2−α1=−29±11 deg) and humeral protraction (β2−β1=27±11 deg) (Fig. 2). There is typically little-to-no humeral elevation or depression in this phase (δ2−δ1=−1±11 deg). The combined actions of hindlimb extension and elbow flexion lead to the forelimb losing ground contact, and humeral protraction begins to reposition the manus more anteriorly. The relative timing of this phase was highly variable in relation to hindlimb actions. For example, in some hops this entire phase occurred before hindlimb lift-off (i.e. before the animal takes off), while in others it ended much later in the aerial phase. The average duration of the forelimb lift-off phase (T2−T1) was 75±16 ms. The impact preparation phase starts when the elbows stop flexing and begin to extend, and involves large amounts of elbow extension (α3−α2=47±13 deg), humeral protraction (β3−β2=45±15 deg) and humeral depression (δ3−δ2=−37±10 deg) (Fig. 2). All of these movements serve to position the manus more anteriorly and ventrally (toward the ground) as the animal braces for landing. The average duration of this phase (T3−T2) was 91±25 ms and the time to the onset of impact preparation from the beginning of movement (T2–T0) was 152±26 ms. At touchdown the arms are typically configured so that the elbows are extended (α3=108±14 deg) and the humeri protracted (β3=109±12 deg) and depressed (δ3=137±11 deg) well beyond their positions at any other point in the hop (Fig. 2). Increased extension excursions at the elbow (α3−α2) in preparation for impact in longer hops are mirrored by increased flexion excursions after impact (α4−α3; Fig. 4). During the landing phase, the elbows flex (α4−α3=−38±14 deg), and the humeri are driven posteriorly (β4−β3=−55±14 deg) and dorsally (δ4−δ3=29±10 deg) as the body decelerates (T4−T3) over 57±10 ms. Touchdown occurred 243±24 ms after the onset of movement (T3−T0). Forelimb kinematics are independent of distance in the first two hop phases: hop initiation and forelimb lift-off. But kinematics do vary significantly with distance during the impact preparation and landing phases. For example, while the onset of the impact preparation phase did not occur later with distance (P=0.47; Table 3), the duration of this phase increased with longer hops (P<0.001; Table 3), as the animal remained in the air longer before impact. Yet, neither elbow extension nor humeral protraction velocity changed significantly with hop distance during this phase, and as a result, this increased duration led to significantly greater elbow excursions (α3−α2; Fig. 5A) and humeral protractions (β3−β2; Fig. 5B) during longer hops (P<0.001 for both cases; Table 3), and to a more extended (α3; Fig. 5C) and protracted (β3; Fig. 5D) forelimb configuration at impact (P<0.001 for both cases) (Table 3). Humeral depression excursions during impact preparation (δ3−δ2) also increased significantly with hop length (P<0.001); however, these increased excursions did not result in significantly different humeral depressions at impact (δ3) after Bonferroni correction (Table 3). During the landing phase, both elbow and humeral kinematics vary with hop distance. The amount and velocity of elbow flexion (α4−α3), humeral retraction (β4−β3) and elevation (δ4−δ3) increase significantly with distance, as does the duration of the phase (T4−T3: P<0.001 for all cases; Table 3). Humeral elevation velocities are distance dependent during landing (Table 3). In addition, the elbow and humeral configuration at the end of the landing phase (α4, β4 and δ4), when elbows are most flexed, are independent of hop length (Table 3). Thus, during landings from longer hops, the elbows start more extended and the humeri more protracted at impact but flex and retract more and faster over a longer time to end at similar configurations to those for short hops (Fig. 4, Table 3). Our study was motivated by the question of how toads use their forelimbs to coordinate landing hops across a range of distances. Specifically, we asked whether toad forelimbs move differently before and after landing depending on hop distance and, if so, how these different kinematic patterns are achieved. In line with our first hypothesis, we found that toad forelimbs are significantly more extended and protracted at impact in longer hops (Table 3). These more exaggerated positions are the result of greater excursions of the elbow and humerus during the impact preparation phase (Table 3, Fig. 5). In support of our second hypothesis, these distance-dependent preparatory excursions are mirrored by similarly distant-dependent amounts of elbow flexion and humeral retraction after impact (Fig. 4). However, excursions during impact preparation were not accomplished as we expected. We hypothesized that the elbows would begin to extend later in longer hops and move with a greater velocity. Instead, we found that elbow extension did not begin later in longer hops (Table 3), and extension velocities during impact preparation were independent of distance. Greater elbow excursions (and humeral protractions) were, instead, a result of the greater time available to move during longer hops (Table 3). Toad forelimb kinematics and control Cane toads land in a coordinated manner and under most conditions neither the trunk nor head contacts the substrate during landing. Instead, deceleration is exclusively controlled by the forelimbs and their underlying musculature (Azizi and Abbott, 2013; Gillis et al., 2014). Such coordination relies on appropriate pre-landing muscle activity patterns in the forelimbs (Gillis et al., 2010). However, modulating the activation timing and intensity of forelimb muscles prior to impact appears to be only one part of an integrated strategy to manage the variety of impact forces and energies associated with landing in hops of different distance. Our results indicate that cane toads also extend their elbows further during longer hops (Fig. 5A), providing a greater braking distance over which forelimb muscles can be used to decelerate the body after impact. Indeed, this is consistent with our results supporting our second hypothesis and showing that increases in preparatory elbow extension in longer hops are mirrored by subsequent increases in elbow flexion after impact (Fig. 4). As a result, the most flexed configuration of the elbow during landing does not vary with distance. Ensuring that forelimbs are more extended at impact in longer hops expands the range of impact velocities that can be managed without over-stretching muscles involved in dissipating landing energy and decelerating the body (Azizi and Abbott, 2013). Toads modulate elbow configuration before impact using a kinematic strategy that does not change with hop distance. Toads begin to extend their elbows at roughly the same time in all hops and continue extending them at approximately the same velocity until they land. This kinematic pattern could be explained by a simple clock-like control strategy that produces forelimb landing configurations that vary predictably with distance without the need for sensory feedback. Starting elbow extension at roughly the same time in all hops allows more time for elbow extension before impact during longer hops simply because animals are in the air for greater durations. During shorter hops, where the landing forces are smaller, a less-extended elbow configuration is observed at impact when smaller braking distances suffice. This type of simple control strategy can even accommodate hops over terrain of variable heights. For example, animals will hit the ground later and with more force when jumping to lower landing sites, but will hit the ground with a more extended forelimb because they are in the air longer. Likewise, animals hopping up an incline will hit the ground sooner and with less force than on the level, but also with less extended forelimbs. The pattern of forelimb kinematics we observed in preparation for landing in toads is consistent with a simple control strategy that can produce functional variations in forelimb landing configurations for a range of impact velocities without the need for sensory feedback. The strength of this strategy is also the source of its limitations, namely that it is governed by one simple rule: animals begin to extend their elbows in preparation for impact at roughly the same time and at the same rate in every hop. However, this rule implies that forelimb movements will be bilaterally symmetrical, i.e. both arms extend simultaneously. Such kinematic symmetry does not easily accommodate landings in which the toad rolls in the air or otherwise lands with one arm well before the other. Thus, a simple clock-like landing control strategy might manage landing variations related to changes in distance or height well, but may not be sufficient to accommodate asymmetrical impacts. A more complex strategy involving the independent control of forelimbs would avoid this limitation. Moving the two forelimbs differently in anticipation of an asymmetric landing would allow for better locomotor control under more variable conditions. Yet, this level of control would require both sensory feedback to anticipate differential impact conditions of each limb and the ability to vary the timing (and/or velocity) of individual elbow excursions to brace for uneven landings. Thus, improvements in control come at a cost of more complex sensorimotor integration. We had, in fact, hypothesized that the forelimbs would be controlled by a more complex strategy involving variation in the timing and velocity of forelimb kinematics because previous results for the elbow extensor, m. anconeus, indicated distance-dependent activation timing and intensity (Gillis et al., 2010). However, our results do not support this hypothesis. This apparent decoupling between EMG activity in an elbow extensor (m. anconeus) and the rate and timing of elbow extension may reflect the simultaneous actions of the m. coracoradialis, an antagonistic elbow flexor, which is also active throughout the impact preparation phase (Gillis et al., 2010). If this is the case, then the simple pattern of forelimb kinematics we have observed may be the result of a complex sensorimotor control strategy that also must account for antagonistic contractions important for joint stabilization at impact. Further studies that measure both kinematics and muscle activity simultaneously in non-level hops may be able to shed more light on the control strategy that toads use to perform such controlled landings. Comparative limb kinematics in preparation for landing While patterns of pre-landing limb muscle activity have received a great deal of attention across a range of vertebrate jumpers (Akella and Gillis, 2011; Dyhre-Poulsen and Laursen, 1984; Magalhães and Goroso, 2009; McKinley et al., 1983; Santello, 2005; Santello and McDonagh, 1998), the details of the corresponding limb kinematics are less well known. We can infer some information about pre-landing limb kinematics from data on limb configurations in anticipation of impact. There appear to be at least two different strategies for preparing limbs for the moment of impact. In humans, as the expected force of impact increases, limbs are moved into more flexed configurations before landing (Ford et al., 2011; Hsu and Huang, 2002; Peng et al., 2011; Santello et al., 2001). Studies on the effects of knee flexion at impact show that more extended limb configurations increase maximum ground reaction force and skeletal stress while decreasing the energy absorbed by the musculature (Devita and Skelly, 1992; Louw and Grimmer, 2006; Podraza and White, 2010). In toads and turkeys, the opposite strategy is used; the landing limb is increasingly extended as the expected force of impact rises. Nevertheless, despite this increasing extension, toad and turkey limbs are far from straight at the point of impact (e.g. elbow angles in toads and knee angles in turkeys typically reach ∼140 deg in the longest hops and highest drops; Konow and Roberts, 2015), similar to knee configurations observed in landing humans (150–165 deg; Devita and Skelly, 1992; Hsu and Huang, 2002; Janssen et al., 2012). Thus, although movement patterns of limbs during impact preparation differ between species, what remains consistent is that limbs are not held fully straight at the point of impact, reducing the likelihood of hyperextension and decreasing skeletal stress while allowing muscles to dissipate much of the energy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five adult B. marinus (61–124 g) were obtained from a commercial supplier and housed in groups of two to four in large plastic containers in a holding room maintained at ∼24°C with a 12 h light:12 h dark cycle. They were fed a diet of crickets several times a week and water was always available. All experimental work was approved by Mount Holyoke College's IACUC. The toads’ limbs were marked at the elbow, wrist and midway along the humerus to characterize elbow angle, and three points marking a T along the longitudinal axis of the back were additionally used to quantify humeral movements in a vertical plane (elevation/depression) and horizontal plane (protraction/retraction) (Fig. 1). Following marker placement, animals were put in a rectangular glass tank (89×43×43 cm) lined on the bottom with rough felt to ensure purchase. The tank was lit from the sides and above with two 600 W bulbs. Two high-speed cameras (Fastec HiSpec, San Diego, CA, USA) were positioned above the animal and perpendicular to each other to record simultaneous video for 3D kinematic reconstruction. Toads were placed at the end of the tank and encouraged to hop with a touch or sound. Hops were recorded at 500 frames s−1 (1280×1024 pixels) and videos were calibrated with a 64-point 3D calibration cube. All video sequences were analyzed to identify the onset and end of animal movement for each hop. The six marked points were then digitized in each frame between these time points and 3D coordinates calculated with Matlab software (Hedrick, 2008). Data were smoothed with a quintic spline interpolation, and elbow flexion/extension angle, α, humeral protraction/retraction angle, β, and humeral elevation/depression angle, δ, were calculated as in Fig. 1. Hop distance was calculated as the horizontal distance between the starting and ending positions of a point on the back (Fig. 1). For each video frame in every hop, α, β and δ were found. Preliminary analyses of data revealed four consistent phases in each hop (described in Results), and the values of α, β and δ were identified at the start and end of each phase and used to calculate angular excursions and velocities for each phase. In addition, the duration of each phase in every hop was calculated. Each of the variables, α, β and δ, at the start and end of each phase, as well as the associated excursions, velocities and durations were fitted with two mixed linear models: a null model with no fixed effect and a full model with hop distance as a fixed effect (Bates et al., 2014). In both models, individual toads were included as random effects. The P-value for each full model was computed with a likelihood ratio test between the full and reduced model and corrected for multiple comparisons with a Bonferroni correction factor for the number of tests performed.

This is the house Julie Sgarzi remodeled! Our long-time very very dear family friend, Julie, recently took on a project of a lifetime when she decided to transform the 1932 duplex she’s owned and has been living in for years. She wanted to maintain the charm of this Craftsman/Mediterranean duplex but also wanted to update, open up and modernize her living space. As with most major home remodels, Julie was literally put out of house and home for weeks and weeks…but judging by this wonderful before and after house tour, the temporary displacement was well worth the wait! As you can see by this photo above…before the kitchen was the furthest thing from an open modern kitchen overlooking a communal dining area. Before remodel, a wall blocked kitchen from dining room view making KITCHEN/DINING ROOM VIEW -AFTER The small kitchen doorway was moved a bit and widened in order to create an arched pass-through into the dining room. The kitchen was transformed from a closed area to an open convivial space which now flows seamlessly with the other living spaces in the home. (above) Ahhh! The kitchen is open and airy now! This cooking space is a perfect blend of classic with modern conveniences. Julie says her contractor/builder – Bryan Castille – was terrific to work with and had a great design sense. The kitchen now includes mahogany cabinets(the same wood that frames all of the windows in the house), an island for eating and prep work, stainless appliance including a professional grade range and granite countertops! Creating symmetry and balance also seemed to be a goal – notice below the arched hood area over the stove is an exact mirror to the arched pass-through to the dining room. The design element Julie seems most proud of in her brand new kitchen is the tile backsplash. She commissioned custom artist-designed tiles for the kitchen. Artist Craig Antrim of San Pedro, CA hand made 50 separate original tiles plus the medallion series of 4 larger tiles over the stove. Each of the beautiful tiles are artfully placed in the backsplash that surrounds the kitchen. More on Julie’s fantastic home makeover to come…including the how she managed to remodel and refresh her living room while keeping all of the fabulous craftsman detail. Thank you Julie for these amazing photos! Your house is AMAZING!

You know that feeling when you talk to a very close friend who needs you? How you listen with your whole being and do all you can to help, even if that means cracking a joke or shedding a tear? That kind of attention is also what we need to give our own selves right now, even if it’s just for a few moments every day. Be your own bestie. But despite the name, “self-care” also means more than just tuning into your own needs. It’s about honoring the ways your life is interwoven with the lives of your friends, family, community, and beyond — and strengthening the bonds that tie you together however you can. Here are a few ideas, including many from fellow Cocoflossers, for how to care for your body, mind, spirit, and community during this extended era of social distancing. They’ll help you to stay sane, cultivate wellness, connect with the world, and maybe even have some much-needed fun. Rather than view this like another to-do list, please consider it a friendly menu of self-care with opportunities to share, family-style. Many articles promote ways to be super productive during your time at home, complete with color-coded schedules. If that’s your mojo, go for it. But if something deep inside is saying “enough,” then just stop. “It’s tough enough to be productive in the best of times let alone when we’re in a global crisis,” said Chris Bailey, a productivity consultant and the author of “Hyperfocus: How to Manage Your Attention in a World of Distraction,” in the New York Times. But if you’re not being conventionally “productive,” what should you do? According to writer Jenny Odell in her book “How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy,” try birdwatching, if your living space allows it, or “take a walk and learn about the history of your neighborhood … Notice the continual labor of upkeep, the productive work of ‘maintenance and care’ that sustains life in the place where you live.” In “30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans,” Cornell University gerontologist Karl Pillemer sums up one piece of advice — savoring small daily pleasures — from the many elders he interviewed this way: “A morning cup of coffee, a warm bed on a winter night, a brightly colored bird feeding on the lawn, an unexpected letter from a friend, even a favorite song on the radio. Paying special attention to these ‘microlevel’ events forms a fabric of happiness that lifts them up daily. They believe the same can be true for younger people as well.” Cocoflosser Winifred Choi seems to practice this herself: “I just take a step out into my backyard! It's surprising how nice it is for a brief breath of fresh air. A silver lining of this quarantine is the increased mindfulness of what you already have around you.” “I have been doing more meditation and breathwork!” says Cocoflosser Jessica Berry. Concentrating on your breathing can reduce fear and anxiety, calm your nervous system, and boost your immune system. Here’s a primer on controlled breathing. For even more relaxation, try guided meditation. Headspace offers hundreds of options that will leave you with a Buddha-like smile. Several other recommended meditation apps offer free trials or cost nothing. UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center also offers a free podcast each week. Try it for just a few minutes and let a wave of calm wash over you. “Laughter is a symbol of hope, and it becomes one of our greatest needs of life, right up there with toilet paper,” L.A. comedian Erica Rhodes told the Associated Press. “It’s a physical need people have. You can’t underestimate how it heals people and gives them hope.” So even during a pandemic, it’s OK to crack a well-timed joke, especially if it brings you closer to others. Or try reading a funny book or watching a funny movie or show. For quick giggly hits, check out Comedy Central’s YouTube channel and the Laugh Lounge app, which streams live stand-up comedy. Bonus: Laughter may reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and calm your stress response. Used skillfully, it’s also an effective way to challenge misguided beliefs. That’s no joke! Setting aside time to care for your body with DIY spa-like treatments can make you feel deliciously decadent, beautifully self-pampered, and just a bit giddy — all part of your RDA of self-care. Try a homemade face mask with ingredients from your pantry, a blissful bath with aromatherapeutic salts, and a moisturizing hand salve to soothe those well-washed hands. Packaged in a jar and wrapped with a ribbon, these also make sweet gifts! @valentinaa_jara: I love this DIY mask: honey and cinnamon — it really helps with my acne. 💕 @cindysaurus7: I like to read to help me relax and use a CBD bath bomb. @tessyyg: My mahogany teak wood candle, a HOT bubble bath with an Olaplex hair mask and DIY honey face mask—all topped off with a homemade chai tea and a good book. 💗😍 @ciarasandefur: I love making lip balm. I use coconut oil, citrus essential oil, and beeswax. Heat it up and put in containers. So smooth and soft. My favorite ever. @bkpinkngreen: Coffee grinds with honey as an exfoliating face mask. ☕🍯☕🍯☕🍯 More than ever, we need a satisfying snooze to help us manage our stressful days and keep our immune system in top shape. And more than ever, it can be hard to power down when your head hits the pillow. Instead, prime your mind to relax as far in advance of bedtime as you can. Put your electronics on a curfew — 90 minutes ahead of “lights out” is best — and resist checking the news one last time or streaming a nail-biter show. Other simple tips to help you zonk out: get your heart rate up each day, dim your lights early, take a hot shower before bed, try blackout curtains and a white-noise machine, keep your bedroom uncluttered, cool, and clean. Wonderfully oblivious waddling penguins, snoozing pandas, and cuddly koalas — these are just a few of the animals you can watch via live-streaming webcams from zoos and aquariums around the world. Here’s a list to get you started. Watch out: spying on super-cute critters is addictive! But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. A 2012 study in Japan showed “viewing cute things improves subsequent performance in tasks that require behavioral carefulness, possibly by narrowing the breadth of attentional focus.” So, yes, checking in on those adorable sea otters at the Monterey Bay Aquarium is part of a successful WFH (work from home) strategy! Wow! In one day you can view masterpieces by van Gogh at the Musée D’Orsay in Paris, gawk at T. rex fossils the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., check out Egyptian antiquities at the Louvre in Paris, immerse yourself in an interactive tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in D.C., view a visual timeline of the world at the British Museum in London, and admire street art in New York. And that’s just a tiny sample of the cultural riches now available online, many of them accessible thanks to Google Arts & Culture. Check out this extensive list on CNN. Don’t miss the mind-blowing experience of Zoom Views, which lets you zoom in to the brushstroke level of famous artworks such as “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt and “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli.

According to “Everyday Health,” “Intuitive eating doesn’t restrict any specific foods or have you count calories. It’s a practice in which you listen to your body and pay attention to what you need at the current moment. Do you need a meal or a snack? You eat when you feel hungry, and you stop eating when you feel full.” With this easy-going philosophy in mind, this might be the time to explore some new recipes in your kitchen, especially since eating out at a restaurant may not be an option. Get in the mood by perusing the pandemic pantry–friendly recipes on the Instagram feed of Ina Garten (a.k.a. “the Barefoot Contessa”). Then check out some delicious, easy-to-make eats on “Bon Appétit,” “The New York Times,” or “Good Housekeeping.” If you’re careful, it’s also safe to share the food you make with loved ones and neighbors.

If you desire to learn a programing language, then our list of the top 4 programming languages is right for you. All the languages mentioned are perfect for programing newbies. Are you looking to pursue an education in IT Technologies? Programming is at the center of most if not all IT or technology-related fields. Therefore, having mastery over it can place you in an excellent position to unearth a wealth of possibilities. Learning programming might seem very intimidating, especially for beginners. Luckily, there are several programming languages first-timers can learn with ease. Here, we’ve provided you with a list of the best programming languages to learn as a beginner. Let’s take a closer look at them. Python is perhaps the best and easiest programing language out there. Created by Guido van Rossum in the 1980s, Python is a free and open-source language. It’s known for its flexible, dynamic, object-oriented, and functional programming nature. It’s one of the most popular languages for programming for students because it’s easy and fun to learn. Python’s simple and readable code allows students to gain essential coding knowledge without having to observe minor details often crucial in other languages. Despite being an easy-to-learn language, students usually lack enough time to master the language. Besides Python lessons delivered by teachers in classes, they often have to handle a ton of school work and assignments. Fortunately, they can use pay for an essay service and get their task handled by experts. This way, they can have enough time to learn and master the Python programming language on their own. Python is considered the most basic language, so it’s worth taking your own time. With Python, students can easily master basic programming skills. If you wish to get better opportunities through learning Python. Then getting certified is the best option. Take a look at this Python Online Course. Ruby is easy-to-use syntax makes it the perfect programing language for new developers. The language stands out from the other programming languages since it offers a distinct level of readability. It has a sensible flow and reads like English in terms of construction. The best part is individuals don’t need to learn a ton of programming vocabulary to master it. It comes with a vast collection of tools and libraries to help you out. The only downside to Ruby is it has less impressive speed and performance, unlike other popular languages. Despite that, it is an awesome starter programming language. Along with HTML and CSS, this language powers several renowned websites like Facebook, Instagram, and Spotify. Do you have an interest in mobile app development and Apple devices? Well, consider learning Swift. Developed in 2014, programmers use this relatively new language to develop iOS and macOS applications. Besides being optimized for speed and performance, Swift meets the realities of modern iOS development. Keep in mind iOS runs several Apple devices, including iPhone, watchOS, iPad, and tvOS. Besides that, Apple has established itself as a tech leader, and it’s not going anywhere soon. The company’s iOS apps are among the best sellers in the mobile app market platform. Whether you want to develop mobile apps or become a software developer, the programming languages above will come in handy. Please note that we’re not here to tell you which language you should learn first – everyone’s needs and inspiration vary. However, the aforementioned programming languages are easy to learn and perfect for beginners. On that note, thank you for stopping by, and best of luck!

First Investments from Shared Future Fund Fresh off the heels of announcing the Shared Future Fund, we are excited to share its first batch of investments and partnerships. As a refresher, the goal of Shared Future Fund is to provide catalytic funding and useful resources to early-stage entrepreneurs working to solve the global climate crisis. Towards that end, we’ve decided to work with a few partners that foster the type of innovation and breakthrough we look to support. First, we teamed up with Y Combinator to offer funding to every climate-focused company in its Winter ‘22 cohort. See graphic below for a sample of companies we’ve backed thus far. In addition to supporting Y Combinator climate-focused companies, we’re delighted to announce our partnership with Activate. Beginning this June, Shared Future Fund is offering investment to every 2021 and 2022 Activate Fellow. Prior to launching Shared Future Fund, Collaborative invested in several companies founded by Activate Fellows, including Brimstone and Noon Energy. Both of these companies prove the quality of the fellowship through their amazing work aiming to make the scientific breakthroughs necessary to getting to net zero and beyond. “It is hard to overstate the transformational impact that Activate and Collaborative have had on Brimstone’s journey. Activate gave us a lab and money and time at a critical point where no one else in the system would have, allowing us to plant the seed of the company we have today. Then Collaborative, with their unique approach to VC, gave us a game-changing injection of capital when, again, few people would have taken that type of risk on us. The idea of Activate and Collaborative working together funding more companies like Brimstone makes me beyond stoked for the future of climate. LET’S DO THIS!” —Cody Finke, Cofounder & CEO of Brimstone Core to the thesis behind Shared Future Fund is being able to rapidly identify entrepreneurs working on solutions to urgent problems. Y Combinator and Activate have proven to be effective launchpads for this programmatic fund and we’re thrilled to support the climate-focused startups coming through their doors. In 2022, we aim to make 100 investments of $100,000 within 10 days of each successful application and we are off to a fast start. If you are interested in learning more, applying for funding, or contributing to the program, please visit sharedfuture.xyz or DM us on Twitter @sharedfund.

Coronavirus Variant Sequencing (CORVASEQ) The NC Policy Collaboratory is working to build a streamlined surveillance network of SARS-CoV-2 variants across the state. The project is funded by a $15,000,000 Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (ELC) grant from the CDC to the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). After the NC General Assembly appropriated the ELC funds, CORonavirus VAriant SEQencing (CORVASEQ) was formed. The team is under the guidance of DHHS and is led by researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill: Dirk Dittmer, director of the UNC Vironomics Core and member of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Amir Barzin, medical director for the UNC Health Virtual Care services and leader of the Carolina Together Testing Program and Audrey Pettifor, professor in department of epidemiology in the UNC-Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health. In addition to UNC-Chapel Hill, the CORVASEQ team consists of following institutions: Atrium Health, Duke University, East Carolina University, HCA Healthcare, Novant Health, UNC Charlotte, the VA System, Vidant Health and Wake Forest Baptist Health. Through this network of institutions, it is possible to capture samples from all 100 counties, and to genetically sequence positive COVID-19 tests. After sequencing, the information about the variant of concern will be sent to DHHS to provide accurate tracking of those variants across the state.

Table of Contents 1. What is Fortnite? If you just hear about the strike battle-royale name, then you may be asking, “What’s Fortnite?” Inside this guide, we will answer that query and ensure the game’s various ways, things, and other highlights while talking about what platforms – and age classes – it is best suited to. If you’re searching for How to play Fortnite, you’re in the right place. Inside, players fall to a map either independently or using a group, together with 99 additional players. Unlike conventional multiplayer matches, Fortnite just has a single sizable map for any specific season. In the first stages of the sport, you will not likely encounter lots of players in reality. If you are caught outside the ring, then your character will die. 2. Fortnite game modes Utilize the ability of timber, brick, and metal to construct structures that will give you a hand. Every new season brings a different theme to the Isle, such as the previous key broker takeover and giant flooding. Party Royale is a style inside Battle Royale. Rather than fighting, Party Royale is an experimental and evolving area concentrating on no sweat, all chill pleasure. Included free of Battle Royale, Fortnite Creative places you in control of your Island – create your own rules and games and invite friends and family! Creative provides you with the resources to style games, both easy and complicated, so make what you would like to produce when you are not generating and experience games created by your friends or others from the Fortnite community. Apart from playing and making matches, Creative is also a wonderful location for only producing your landscape. Make your Island,now you would like it to look and revel in it with your buddies! Save The World On your struggle against these creatures – called Husks – become more powerful by discovering loot, crafting weapons, and expanding your own set of Heroes. Construct a foundation and reinforce it with cubes to maintain the Husks at bay! Play Save the Planet with others or friends from the Fortnite community. 3. Rules of the game Before your very first game, let’s discuss how the game functions. Fortnite, in addition to games such as PUBG and Apex Legends, is renowned for a battle royale sport since it shares the same basic idea as the Japanese manga and film”Battle Royale”: everybody fights until just one man is left standing. Every Fortnight battle royale game has 100 opponents playing solo, with a spouse (called duos) or even as an element of a four-person squad. Everybody has 100 health issues, which may be replenished with curing items located on the staircase. Players who strike zero health issues are removed, and the individual or team which survives before the end of the game wins the Victory Royale. 4. How to play Fortnite? Learn where to fall The Island is large as well as the named places, also called points of attention, are inclined to possess more chests, which include weapons, recovery items, and other gear. They are sometimes left outside in the open or concealed in certain areas. Get knowledgeable about the map and understand where you are headed after leaping from this Battle Bus. You will want to attend some locations where you can discover things as rapidly as possible. You can’t take the things you pick up on Spawn Island with you When you encounter Spawn Island, you will find firearms, ammo, and construction materials sprinkled around just waiting to be caught. And you’ll be able to catch them – however, they will not arrive with you to the Fortnite map. Heal Spawn Island as a practice place for how to perform Fortnite, though you’ll probably just be there for a moment in the slightest while the sport matches up with 100 players. You can shoot anybody in the area, but the guns will not do any harm, or if you’re becoming a temporary pacifist, try your hand in building a Fast sniping hut. Wait as long as you can fall in the Battle Bus The Flight Simulator’ horn will honk the moment you are in a position to fall from it on the map but resist the impulse to join the audience of players that jump from it asap. Rather than wait until there are about 3 minutes to go before the Battle Bus reaches the end of its flight route, then jump out. You will have little to no gamers competing for landing areas, so there is a smaller likelihood of being gunned from the face on your first two moments of this game and not as much competition for loot. Aim towards a house or structure when you are gliding as there is a higher prospect of a torso being inside or at least some simple loot—speaking of this glider. Drink little guard potions before glugging a sizable one Round the map, you will discover both small and big blue containers, which provide you 25 shields and 50 shields respectively, should you utilize your right trigger for drinking them (the same button that you use for shooting your rifle ). As soon as you’ve got 50 or greater, shields can not consume any more little bottles, so be certain that you drink them so that you do not have them burning a slot on your inventory. You can chug large shield chords regardless of the level our protector is at, so if you just have one of these, proceed: pop up the lid, and gulp down it. As a rule of thumb, stick to attack rifles or SMGs if you are first figuring out how to perform Fortnite. Know the weapon Colours Things on the floor will glow a certain color, and understanding those colors can allow you to discern whether it is worth wasting your own time or risking your own life to go get them. It may also change exactly where you choose to property on your primary drop-in because you can frequently find a few weapons while gliding into the floor. If you can not take loa long-distance to save your lifetime, a green shotgun will soon be worth more to you than the usual golden sniper rifle. Plan accordingly. But if you are trying to pick between a green shotgun along with a purple shotgun, you certainly need the latter. Keep an Eye on the Storm Much like PUBG, Fortnite’s speed is controlled through an ever-constricting play place. At fixed intervals, this region gets smaller, and you want to do your very best to stay inside its boundaries. If you get stuck behind the wall, then it’s tricky to get back indoors because the barrier moves quickly. Should you sprint from a fallen participant to another, always stealing their health packs, then it is likely to return, but I wasn’t so lucky. Whenever I fell behind the speed, I was unable to recover because I couldn’t locate any local resources. Another time I found myself trapped in the base of a cavern and could not progress from the direction of security. Although remaining inside the working area is a priority, occasionally, there is some strategy in time for your entry. By way of instance, if you’re running for your life to attain the middle of this storm, you become a simple target. Other players may easily detect and remove you, particularly when the storm itself melts down your wellbeing amounts. Rather, plan to reach the barrier because it shuts or straight forward. Locate a vehicle Take, as an instance, and the first car Epic Games added into the match, the trusty cart. This masterful metallic contraption comfortably stays two individuals, one in charge of movement and another accountable for protection. The shopping carts are not invincible, however. Should you strike on a landing too difficult, that is the conclusion of your pleasure ride. Enemy players may also take you down as you slide beyond. However, you still should keep attentive since the ATK’s minimum body leaves you vulnerable to enemy combatants. Like many other in-game items, ATKs are destructible; an ax or even gunfire can make those vehicles’ fast work. The shopping cart and the ATX are quicker (and more enjoyable ) than sprinting to a destination. This enhanced travel rate can come in handy if you want to escape risk, overtake the speed of this final storm, or traveling fast between locales to accumulate resources between phases. Mind your inventory. It is interesting to run around the planet, collecting whatever you can. However, you can not be a packrat at FN: B. It is possible to hold as much ammunition as you need, but you just have five spots on your stock for firearms or healing things. Moreover, attempt to maintain the same weapon types in precisely the same slot every time you perform. Knowing exactly how frequently you will need to click to get to the weapon you need might be the difference between winning a gunfight or perishing with a defense potion on your hand. Be conscious of sound. And when they are nearby, they hear you, also. Sprinting also makes the sound, and it produces a path of dust, which makes it a lot easier to be seen from a distance. Crouching helps reduce sound, but even the smallest movement could be observed. Be conscious of the noise you are making but also be certain that you’re listening. If you are playing the tv muted, you give another person from the construction below or above you a massive benefit. Should you see me at the Wailing Woods chopping trees down, be tender. Perform with headphones on Ensure that you own a set of headset nestled in your ears, as hearing the noise of footsteps (or even more likely, gunshots) and having the ability to determine which direction they are coming from is the difference between life and respawning from Fortnite. Understanding which players are coming from gives you precious seconds to prepare yourself, whether switching into a shotgun or constructing a fast piece of pay. Always try to get the upper ground in a fight When things begin to become sticky, and you end up in a gunfight with among those 100 individuals running around the map, you wish to be as large as possible. Ensure you’re over your competitor by building ramps into the skies, or simply by leaping repeatedly (that has the bonus of making you harder to hit). A fantastic plan is to construct four walls around yourself at a square and then construct up a ramp to the wall facing the enemy. This will provide you with a fantastic sniping platform that can escape down when you are reloading. Just repeat the construction formula upward (jump to construct below your toes ) until you are at a makeshift tower and also have the upper hand – and gun, and then inhale, etc… You are going to perish. A lot. The more quickly you’re ready to take this, the further you will have the ability to enjoy your very first few hours studying the sport. You are not matched up according to ability level or hours, so just about everybody else will be a good deal better than you. I have played 100 matches while”exploring” this bit, and I have just gotten about a dozen kills. The fantastic news is that you can return into the lobby and begin a new game the moment you die, and there is no limitation on the number of times you may play with. Try to find out something from the deaths, however. Gather tools. It is a trial by fire, but it is the only way to find a sense of the sport. - Android (APK): https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/mobile/android/get-started - iPhone (IOS): Removed - Windows: https://launcher-public-service-prod06.ol.epicgames.com/launcher/api/installer/download/EpicGamesLauncherInstaller.msi?trackingId=57d82f2d757e441090937f3dd0a6627c&productName=fortnite - Mac OS: https://launcher-public-service-prod06.ol.epicgames.com/launcher/api/installer/download/EpicGamesLauncher.dmg?trackingId=57d82f2d757e441090937f3dd0a6627c&productName=fortnite - Xbox Devices: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/fortnite-battle-royale/bt5p2x999vh2?activetab=pivot:overviewtab - Playstation: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1477-CUSA07022_00-FORTNITETESTING1 - Nintendo: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/fortnite-switch/

I love Norse mythology – Thor and Odin and Loki – amazing characters – Rick Riordan Despite the infinite possibilities and wonders that the universe offers and the multitude of conundrums that each of those probabilities creates, the only quandary that constantly feeds our imagination and keeps us awake at night involves the All-Father and the Mad Titan. What would have happened if Odin had still been alive and ruling Asgard when Thanos found the last of the Infinity Stones and changed the face of the Universe forever? Would he have been able to stop Thanos before he snapped his fingers? Would Odin have stood with the Avengers against the deviant Eternal, and if he had, would Infinity War have ended differently? Did Thanos wait for Odin to die and Asgard to be destroyed before he launched the final phase of his mission to find the Infinity Stones or did the Asgardian King mean nothing to him? Timing is everything, and we can’t shake the feeling that Thanos was biding his time, and waiting for the right moment to strike, a moment that coincidentally only arrived after Asgard was destroyed, Hela was removed from the equation and the All-Father was no longer a concern or a threat to Thanos plans. As a master strategist for whom his “glorious” purpose was everything and whose every move was dependent on the intelligence that he gathered, Thanos must have been aware of Odin’s demise, which only serves to feed the fire of the idea that he was worried about the possibility that the old King of Asgard might have been able to prevent him achieving his ultimate ambition. So why was Thanos scared of Odin, and could the All-Father have defeated the Mad Titan and turned the tide of the conflict in Infinity War? The Strength Of The Gods Fighting Odin is akin to fighting the primordial forces of nature. With his daughter Hela by his side, he had already conquered the Nine Realms before Thor was born, and a thousand years before he banished his son to Earth to teach him the meaning of power and humility in Thor, Odin finally defeated the Jotun and brought peace to the celestial Kingdom he saw himself as being responsible for. But Odin’s battles had begun long before, and one million years prior to his war with the Jotun, as a member of the first Avengers line-up, he fought and defeated a Celestial known as the Fallen. Mark Waid’s contribution to the Avengers history that formed part of the Marvel Rebirth event, cast Odin in a new light, showing him to be more like his son Thor rather than the calculating and all-knowing king that he would later become. As the oldest of the “Gods” (and despite the fact that the lifespan of Asgardians differs widely in the MCU and the four-color universe), Odin has the wisdom and strength to beat Thanos and waylay his plan for universal genocide, and would almost certainly have stood against him. However, after the events of Thor: The Dark World, in which he lost his wife, Frigga, Odin wasn’t the God that he used to be, which is why it was so easy for Loki to trick him into moving into Shady Acres Care Home, and steal the throne of Asgard prior to Ragnarok. Would a weakened Odin have been able to stop Thanos? If the Mad Titans’ timing was a decisive factor, then a diminished Odin was still a concern for Thanos. Isn’t Thanos A God Thanos is an Eternal whose appearance was and is due to the rogue Deviant gene. An enormously powerful race of long-lived, benevolent aliens who made their home on Titan, the Eternals are far stronger and much more scientifically advanced than humans, and are for intents and purposes, almost the equal of Asagardians. And even though Thanos was born into the royal family of Titan, he wasn’t the equal of, nor was he as powerful as Odin. While we’ll never know for sure how any battle between the two would have ended had they fought in the MCU or clashed in Infinity War, they have met in the comics, and their past conflicts only reinforce the idea that Thanos knew that if he did face Odin, the outcome would be inevitable. He would lose. The Four Color Wars During the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos launched a pre-emptive strike on Asgard and destroyed the Bifrost to stop Odin from leaving Asgard before he could unveil his masterwork and eradicate half of all life in the universe. The fact that Thanos knew Odin could, and would stop him shows that even Thanos’ creator, Jim Starlin, knew that the Mad Titan couldn’t hope to best the King of Asgard. Famous, Starlin also wrote the plot for Thanos and Odin’s only meeting, Warlock And The Infinity Watch #25, which was published in ninety ninety-four. Rather than being a “fair fight”, Thaos threw everything that he had at Odin in the beautifully rendered pages created by Angel Medina, but much like the Hulk, the more Thanos tried to hurt Odin, the more enraged the King of Asgard became, and when he turned his wrath on Thanos, it shook the very pillars of Asgard itself. It was a brutal, uncompromising fight that gave the upper hand to the All-Father but ended on a slight indecisive note. Was Starlin worried that a definitive victory would somehow weaken the Titan in the eyes of the reader? That, unfortunately, is a question that only Jim can answer, but we’d like to think, given how the story ended, that he’d agree with us, and give the thumbs up to Odin and a thumbs down to Thanos. When The Dust Settled… Like Thanos, the outcome of any war between his forces, and the Armies of Asgard if they were led by Odin, would be inevitable. The victory would belong to the stronger, wiser, and infinitely more powerful God who not only conquered the Nine Realms but also helped to defeat a Celestial. And the Mad Titan knew the inescapable and unavoidable truth. That Odin was always stronger than Thanos.

Across its first five episodes, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has taken fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on an entertaining and totally wild story. One of the most-beloved components of the series has been its connections to Marvel lore, both to the lore of Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) and the larger landscape of Marvel Comics itself. This week's fifth episode proved to exercise that once again, introducing a Marvel character to the series who might be the most obscure yet. Spoilers for Episode 5 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, "Mean, Green, and Straight Poured into These Jeans", below! Only look if you want to know! Part of the episode sees Jen concerned with getting new She-Hulk-sized clothes, outside of the oversized suits she already wears to work. Nikki Ramos (Ginger Gonzaga) and Augustus "Pug" Pugliese (Josh Segarra) eventually get Jen connected with Luke Jacobson (Griffin Matthews), a fashion designer who specializes in clothing for superheroes. While Jen initially insists that she only needs business suits that can fit her She-Hulk and human bodies, Luke appears to create Jen's superhero costume for her anyway — and clearly is also making a new yellow costume for Matt Murdock / Daredevil (Charlie Cox). Created by Martha Thomases and Tony Salmons, Luke Jacobson first made his Marvel debut in 1986's Dakota North #1, the first in a five-issue miniseries introducing the titular butt-kicking private security agent. Luke ends up being Dakota's first case, as she's tasked with being his bodyguard to protect him from fashion-related threats. Luke ultimately appeared in three of the book's five issues — and has not appeared in a Marvel comic since. As Thomases would later confirm to The Comics Journal, her intent was for Luke to be gay and HIV+, but that was not able to happen in the series' initial narrative. "[He is based on] my friend, the fashion designer David Freelander, who died of AIDS in 1987," Thomases revealed. "I had wanted the character to also be gay and HIV+, but [Marvel editor Larry Hama] said that wasn't why people read comics. I suspect that, if the series had continued, we would have gone there." Who plays Luke Jacobson on She-Hulk? Matthews, who is best known for his work on The Flight Attendant and his musical Invisible Thread, told ComicBook.com in 2020 that he wanted to join the superhero space — in part to add more positive representation to it. "It's so interesting that you asked that because we're inside of this conversation about representation," Matthews explained at the time. "It's what we've been doing for all of 2020, just talking about black lives and black gay lives. I loved Black Panther so, so, so much. And I just want there to be gay people on screen. I want to be a goddamn superhero. I think it'd be so cool to enter that world, because it just feels like we don't exist in that world. We don't exist in that space. When I was growing up, I never saw myself. I loved Spider-Man. I loved Batman. I saw all of those films, and I loved those films, but I never saw myself. The closest thing I could say was 'Maybe I'll be Robin.' And I would just love in 2021, in the new year, I would love to really see some queer representation. And honest to God, I would love, love, love to do it, with my little skinny body and a lack of muscle. I want to be a superhero."

Updated 2019 – Ubereats connects hungry customers with restaurants to deliver them food straight to their door. Your job as an Ubereats Hamilton driver is to go online with the Uber Driver smartphone app and wait for an order. Once you receive a “ping”, you can choose to accept or decline the request. If you accept, drive to the restaurant, grab the food and drop it off at the customer’s address. It’s as simple as that. Let’s show you what the rates and requirements are for an Ubereats Hamilton driver and how to get started. - Ways to Deliver - Ubereats Hamilton Pay and Rates - Delivery Zone Maps - Taxes and HST - Sign Up Process - Ubereats Hamilton Delivery Area and Maps - Ubereats Hamilton Office and Contact Information Ready to start delivering? Help keep us going and use our referral when you sign up! Ways to Deliver You can deliver orders with a bicycle, scooter or car, however Ubereats Hamilton is currently only accepting bicycle and car applications. Ubereats Hamilton Rates and Pay You are paid a flat rate for picking up and dropping off orders, as well as a per km and per minute fee, less the “Uber Fee” which is like a commission Uber takes from your fare. This can range from 5% – 35% depending on when you signed up and if you drive UberX as well. If you transport passengers as well, the commission is usually 10% lower but the boosts offered to you are also lower. A “boost” is offered to drivers when demand is high. This is where Uber uses a multiplier to increase your earnings. If an in-demand delivery area advertises a multiplier, for example 1.5, then your fare is multiplied by 1.5 and therefore increased by 50%. The Uber commission is only applied to your fare, not the boost. You can accept tips in cash or customers have the option to tip you in the app after the delivery is made. Uber Eats Hamilton Calculations With all these commissions, boosts, and compensation factors, it can get a bit confusing to calculate your pay. Although Uber does it for you, it is helpful to check your trip earnings for errors. Sometimes they are way off on the distance or the boost pay isn’t quite right. Maybe their commission seems too high? We have your covered! Try our NEW Uber Eats Pay Calculator. Just enter all rates for your city (found above) and the Driver Pay Calculator will do the work for you! Once you do a couple trips, you can see how long they take and even calculate what you are making per hour. How much will I make per hour? Estimates are between $20-$25/hour, depending on demand, area, boosts, tips, day and time. Some drivers have reported earnings up to $55/hour! How do multiple orders work? Sometimes you will pick up more than one order at the same time from the same restaurant. In this case, everything remains the same except you get a drop-off fee for each location you deliver to. Of course, you will be paid the extra kilometres you drive and the extra time it takes but you will only be paid one pickup fee. How do I get paid? What happens if the customer doesn’t answer the door when I arrive? Contact the customer by phone first which you can do in the app. If they don’t answer, a timer will start and after 5 minutes you can leave and will still get paid the full fare. You can even keep the food too! Bonuses & Incentives - 21+ years old if driving, 18+ years old for cycling - Proof of work eligibility: Birth certificate, Citizenship card, Passport, Residency card, SIN card, or Work permit - Criminal background check - Phone: Iphone (4s or newer) or Android (4.2 or newer) with data - Ontario G Driver’s License or equivalent - Proof of insurance - Proof of vehicle registration - 2 or 4 door vehicle, 20 years old or newer Interested in becoming an UberX driver too? Learn how to become a rideshare driver with our Guide to Rates and Requirements for Hamilton Uber Drivers. UberEATS Hamilton Delivery Zone Map Below you will find the delivery zone for UberEATS Hamilton, Ontario. If you are looking to find the busiest areas for pick up requests, travel to the zone in the solid box below which is the UberEATS Hamilton hotspot map. Taxes and HST The taxes you will have to pay include CPP (Canadian Pension Plan contributions), Employment Insurance (optional), Federal and Provincial Income tax. Typically your employer takes these deductions from your pay and remits it directly to the government. However, you are not an employee of Uber but rather an independent contractor. You should consult with an accountant who can tell you how much to save from your earnings, especially if you have another job. If you have another job, this can make the calculations a bit more complicated. You will NOT require an HST number. UberEATS will collect HST from the customer and remit it to the government. If you drive for a living you may want to consult an accountant regarding HST registration. Once you pass a certain amount of income (usually $30,000) as an independent contractor you have to charge and remit HST. Need more help understanding how taxes work? Check out our Tax Help section for rideshare drivers. Uber’s commercial insurance policy does not cover Ubereats only delivery drivers. However, if you transport passengers with their UberX service, for example, their commercial insurance policy will cover you if you accept an Ubereats order. Most insurance companies require you to disclose to them you are using your vehicle for commercial purposes. Before you start driving, you should talk with your insurance company or agent for more information about what is permitted in your policy or additional coverage options. Easy 5 Step Sign Up Process Use a friend’s referral code or help support our site by using ours: g4j6h654ue. You can also click on this link. 2: Upload the required documents. 3: Wait for your background check to be completed and Uber to notify you when you have been activated. 4: Get an insulated bag (optional). 5: Log on and off the app whenever you want to start accepting delivery requests! Ubereats Hamilton Delivery Zone Map Below you will find the delivery zone for Ubereats Hamilton, Ontario. If you are looking to find the busiest areas for pick up requests, travel to the zone in the solid box below which is the Ubereats Hamilton hotspot map. Do I need an insulated delivery bag? UberEATS drivers have inconsistent reports about this. Some people report that they receive a bag delivered to their home and their driver account is charged $15, which is taken off your first pay. Others have reported that after you sign up you will be directed to their supplier where you can buy a bag for approximately $11.25 including shipping. It is important to note, some restaurants may not allow you to pickup an order without a bag, particularly when delivering pizzas. Either way, the cost is pretty low. Do I need to sign for shifts? No need to sign up for shifts. Just log on and accept “Pings”, which are on-demand requests for deliveries. Accept or decline requests and log off whenever you want! Are there a minimum number of deliveries I need to do to stay active on the platform? No, but if your documents expire you will need to upload them again before you can start driving. Is there an orientation, interview or “onboarding” session? No, everything is done online or you can you go the Greenlight Hub closest to you to sign up or get help if you need it! Ubereats Greenlight Hub in Hamilton There is no permanent Uber Office in Hamilton but they do hold information sessions in the city called “spots” where you can attend to sign up in person and get help. Check their website to see the next time they are holding an event in Hamilton. Mississauga has the closest permanent Greenlight Hub to Hamilton.

Some of my feature lines disappear while zooming/panning in data view. I've tried to fix the spatial index (delete and recreate), I've tried exporting the data, etc. and I can't extract or save these lines, they just vanish when I try to recreate the spatial index or export the data. Some times I can select the lines in data view and some times I can't, some times I can see the records in the table and some times I can't. I'm using 10.3.1, and the line features are in a file geodatabase. Any idea's on what I can do to fix issue?? Like Jim mentioned, Repair Geometry would be a good place to start. Are you zooming in past the 1:1 scale? Do these layers have a coordinate system/projection? Are they projected properly? Where does your data originate from (like, is it coming from CAD features, are you hand drawing it, etc.)? Tried Repair Geometry, didn't fix issue. Ran the tool, no error messages, acted like it didn't find anything wrong, it says it succeeded in the messages. To answer your questions: Zooming past 1:1, no. Some lines disappear at 1:30,000, sometimes at 1:25,000, others disappear at 1:10,000. It's not happening to all of the lines, just to about 10%. The Coordinate system is NAD 83 State Plane Maryland FIPS 1900 (US Feet). Are they projected properly, don't know. This data is the County;s parcel dataset. It was constructed by a consultant back in 2012, and I have been updating the data ever since as new plat data comes into the County. I use COGO to place most new parcel lines, and I build parcel polygons using the build polygons tool. The Softline feature set that is having the problem is used for old parcel lines, easement lines, misc lines. The softlines most of the time are copied parcel lines pasted into the Softline feature set, and sometimes they are drawn in. I've added over 4,000 lines to the Softline dataset since I started updating the data, and it appears that most of my lines are having the issue. I haven't noticed any problems with the data until now. The feature dataset contains a Topology, 2 line features, 2 point features, an annotation feature, and 2 polygon features. It sounds like it could be an issue with the topology (unless there are scale visibility settings in the properties of the layer - be sure to check that). Can you export the feature layer to a brand new geodatabase with no topology and see if you're having the same issues? Not sure what the issue was, but was able to fix by selecting all of the features in data view and exporting the selection. Selecting features other ways did not work. The new feature does not have the disappearing issue. Other methods tried would just delete the disappearing records from the new feature set. Since the original features would disappear, the selection process was a little cumbersome, but with a little patience I was able to select all but 18 features, out of 25,000 or so records, I figured that was good. Thanks to all who responded and especially to ESRI support (Kiersten), they found the solution.

25-08-2016 03:49 PM How much affect will GST have on Motor Policy premium? Solved! Go to Solution. 15-09-2016 12:54 PM I suppose every policy buyer will be required to pay up to 300 basic points more in taxes. 18-09-2016 09:53 AM In my view it will depend on the type of policy you choose, but term policies may have higher chances of getting effected. 14-09-2017 02:57 PM I think for General Insurance pre GST the taxes were 15% and now it has increased to 18% I was looking for motor policy, i calculated the Premium pre and post GST and an executive was coordinating for the same, when asked about the difference in Premium, he said it is the GST effect.

I do some protective service work, one client is the head of a Washington D.C. NGO that faced a credible death threat last month. Tonight I received information that the source of this threat traced one of the NGO's volunteers to her home address via Comcast IP, and the location is a relatively short drive away from a man who was arrested last month for criminal harassment almost five hundred miles from his home. I have some genuine concerns for the physical safety of this Comcast customer, and I'd like to talk to someone immediately. We've got an annoyed FBI agent who will confirm the back story on this Monday, but the subjects know they're under some sort of investigation and I'm afraid of what might happen if further info leaks over the weekend. This is a junk box for me - nrauhauser at gmail is the address I check

We have been experiencing delays / failures receiving email from domains hosted by Google and *only* domains hosted by Google. This is happening to customers for whom we host the authoritative DNS servers. For some reason, Google is not able to look up the MX and/or A record *sometimes* from our servers. Customers are getting an error like this: DNS Error: 49391460 DNS type ‘mx’ lookup of <domain hosted with us> responded with code NOERROR 49391460 DNS type ‘aaaa’ lookup of mail.internetpro.net <http://mail.internetpro.net>. responded with code SERVFAIL 49391460 DNS type ‘a’ lookup of mail.internetpro.net <http://mail.internetpro.net>. responded with code SERVFAIL In the above case, Google is saying they can't find our mail server. There is no AAAA record, so that part is normal. However, we have other customers who are hosting their own mail servers or are using relay services such as Trend Micro who are also having a similar issue. The only thing these customers have in common is our DNS and the fact that Google is trying to send email to them. I can query Google's public servers at 18.104.22.168 and 22.214.171.124 and they always give the correct answers, but it seems that internally, Google is unable to make these lookups. Reaching out to their support agents online, the agents confirm that the correct entries are in place and that *some* of Google's servers can't do the resolution resulting in sporadic email delivery. They suggest that we reach out to the DNS provider to find out why (Grrr) We've also had reports from customers that the failures seem to be location oriented with western US emails being held up and eastern US emails coming through. I can't independently confirm that, though. A full 100% of the email delivery issues have been Google hosted domains. It seems that every other ISP can do the lookups just fine, but getting in touch with someone at Google who can troubleshoot this is impossible for a small ISP like us. If anyone can point me to somone at Google who could help me out, I'd be very thankful.

Download issues - wrong vendor I'm having issues with credit card transactions showing up as Comcast charges and categorizing them as television expenses. It seems many small vendors in my area use Comcast business, and the charges are showing us as such instead of the business name. Any way to solve this? This discussion has been closed.

Brick By Brick C2C Champion Fundraiser About C2C Champion “Being a C2C champion means challenging myself to make the impact that I know I can make…” A child of Haitian Immigrants, Krystal Paulin always felt disconnected from her history through a language barrier. After the earthquake in 2010, she questioned how her monetary contributions made an impact. After deciding in 2019 that she was ready to directly impact Haitian families, she was referred to C2C and knew immediately that this organization aligned with her values and desire to make a real and lasting impact. Believing that Education is key, Krystal connected with C2C’s Education Initiative and became a C2C Champion by committing to raise $1,804 (in homage to the year Haïti became an independent country) to help fund the initiative via her Brick By Brick virtual fundraiser. The #BrickByBrick fundraiser launches on Thursday, April 18th and runs for 30 days. Krystal is engaging her community and extended networks to invest in the current operations and future building fund for the permanent Saul Louis Community School. This permanent, state of the art facility, will serve approximately 350 children, kindergarten thru 6th grade, as well as a trade school for their parents. C2C is actively seeking funding to construct a permanent school with our Mountainside Partner Community. Currently, the teachers of the community teach in a open temporary shelter on the mountain. Previous temporary shelters were destroyed by the 2010 Earthquake and Hurricanes Ericka and Matthew. The Education Initiative is a collaboration between educational professionals on the C2C New York Team and the 10 teachers on the ground. Their goal is to not only build the school, but establish an educational system of lifelong learning for the teachers, students and their parents. In partnering with C2C, Krystal knows this undertaking will not be completed overnight. Raising the $400K for the permanent school will be done #BrickByBrick. As the Haitian Proverb goes, “Men anpil, chay pa lou (Many hands make the load lighter)”. We invite you to be one of the many hands and help build this permanent school that will change the lives of the children in our Partner Community whom we’ve come to know and love. Krystal is right, Education is key. It’s the key to a better life. Interested in becoming a C2C Champion? Contact Midea Stewart at firstname.lastname@example.org or call 646.598.7792. We’re Raising Funds for The Saul Louis Community School is named after the late Saul Louis, a farmer in our Mountainside Partner Community, who could neither read nor write, but was a tireless advocate of education for every child in his community. The funds raised from #BrickByBrick will go towards our building fund as we seek full funding from multiple sources to build the permanent school and support the school’s teachers . Support Krystal & Donate Today! Your Donation Supports Though the average salary for a teacher in a state-run school is roughly $125 USD a month (or 5,000 Haitian gourdes), all 10 school teachers at our Mountainside Partner Community’s school were full-time volunteers when C2C met them in 2010. The teachers, who walk or take a motorcycle taxi up the mountain daily, are making a tremendous personal sacrifice, as the school does not receive any support from the national government. In 2014, C2C started sending a stipend for each teacher from funds received from our C2C Neighbors (monthly donors). Many students and the teachers are not receiving adequate nutrition to sustain their four to six-hour round trip journey to the school each day. A significant number of children and parents are forced to decide between attending school or staying behind to assist with household tasks, such as collecting water.

Taming, Transforming, and Transcending Your Triggers We’ve all had them. Some are small, others overwhelming. If you’re here, you’re a step ahead in that you’re aware that you have them. Parenting brings them on in full force. We’re talking about triggers with guest parenting expert Carrie Contey. Triggers are those situations that uniquely activate your stress response. They’re personal and based on individual perceptions. Triggers are so unique and personal because they touch on past pain, often from childhood. The same situation can have one parent outraged while another simply laughs. Triggers wait in the depths of our subconscious programming until a seemingly random event lights them ablaze and we find ourselves emotionally reactive. Consciously parenting calls us to examine these emotional triggers in the light of our awareness and acceptance. Taming triggers involves recognizing that others will find your buttons and repeatedly push them. Parenting especially creates stress, in that our children are constantly growing and developing, and may not have the capacity to handle their own emotions. Therefore, we need to handle our own emotions to both model and be available to guide. Daily demands take a real toll, and parents are more prone to being triggered when exhausted, overwhelmed, or not taking care of their own needs too. Taming triggers is an “inside job.” We’re not meant to control our kids, our environment, and all conditions in life until we no longer get stressed. We’re meant to take responsibility and evolve personally to recognize our triggers both during the stressful reaction, and eventually before we even react. While all of our personal triggers will never completely disappear, awareness truly holds the power to shift programmed reactions towards conscious responses. This is an important and truly life-changing topic that is at the forefront of conscious parenting today. It is a seminal step away from historic and mainstream parenting that focuses on punishing our children for triggering us, and moves us towards personal integration and healthy family life. Join Carrie and me as we walk through the “how to” steps that begin the essential parenting work of taming our triggers. Carrie Contey, PhD is an parenting coach, speaker and author. Her background offers a unique perspective on children, parenting, family life and what it means to be a healthy, happy, whole human being. In her work with thousands of parents all over the world, she guides, supports and inspires her clients to live with a wide-open and courageous heart so that they can approach parenting with both skill and spaciousness.

Do you remember your first real content failure? I’m not talking about the time you missed a massive deadline or when you caught that glaring typo in the middle of a big presentation as you were presenting. I’m talking about fall-on-your-face, punch-to-the-gut, ego-crushing failure. I remember mine. Confessions of a content failure My first gut punch of a content failure happened when I was in my late 20s, right after joining the number one advertising agency in Phoenix. I adored the company, my coworkers were brilliant, the clients were resume-building brands – I was living my professional dream. That is, until my first solo content project turned into a nightmare. Before the ink was dry on the scope of work for a new client, an up-and-coming sports equipment manufacturer, I was swept into a kickoff meeting and tasked with writing the new website. I should have walked out of that meeting ecstatic and ready to write. This was an opportunity my fellow writers, especially those with sports writing backgrounds, had been eyeing eagerly. Instead, I felt uneasy. It’s not that I wasn’t grateful, but the extent of my professional sports knowledge at that time involved knowing where the best beer carts were located around Chase Field. But because I have the tenacity of a honey badger, I was determined to conquer this content project. I went back to my desk, sat down at my keyboard and … … nothing.What was your first #ContentMarketing fail? @annabananahrach shares hers, saying we need to open up about failure. Click To Tweet For the first time in my career I had no clue what to write. That blank Word document taunted me with its incessantly blinking cursor. So, I did the only thing I could: I forced the words out, slogging painfully through each page. I turned in the copy and reassured myself this was just round one. Round two would be better. Sitting in my boss’ office a week later, I’d forgotten all about my writer’s block. We were discussing upcoming projects and my workload when he opened an email from the client. He furrowed his brows. He went completely silent. The email said a lot of things – none of them good. To this day, the phrase, “sounds like diner menu copy” still stings. My boss excused me from his office, called the client, and gave the assignment to another writer. I never got round two. Content marketers fear talking about failure I tell this story because the only stories marketers usually share with each other are of flawless success. Failure isn’t something our industry likes to embrace or talk about. But we all have stories like this one. We just tend to bury or ignore them, opting to share case studies, client successes, and campaign wins instead. Advertising agencies: You’re not off the hook, either. The constant expectation to generate miracle metrics for every single client can be downright daunting. Combine that with back-to-back project deadlines built on best-case assumptions, and the pressure to perform at 100% all the time can become absolutely exhausting. It’s as if simply believing every project will run smoothly is enough to prevent failure: “Wait. What do you mean the client is on vacation for the next two weeks? We need their approval tomorrow to stay on track, and they never mentioned vacation when we put the schedule together. And both of our new clients have ‘urgent’ turnarounds now? But our team is already at capacity!”“Success without failure is luck,” says @annabananahrach. Embrace your #ContentMarketing missteps. Click To Tweet Don’t get me wrong: The wins we share aren’t lies. There really are many amazing content marketers, agencies, and organizations that have their efforts rewarded with massive success. And we can learn so much from success. Telling those stories isn’t a bad thing at all. It’s just that, in telling those tales, it’s easy in retrospect to present the pathway to success as straightforward – even obvious. Left out are the trails of mistakes and mix-ups, dead ends and disasters, without which the path to success may have been far less clear. Be honest: Success without failure is luck. Rather than hide our marketing missteps, we should learn to embrace them because more than a few content wins come from our ability to fail well. The data doesn’t lie: We’re struggling with content marketing So why should we talk more about our content failures? Aside from anecdotes and stories locked away in our own vaults, we can also look to Content Marketing Institute’s annual Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends surveys. Every year, these reports are packed with amazing bits of data and valuable insights, including some clear signs that, despite the success stories, many content marketers are struggling. Here’s a quick TL;DR of the 2019 B2B North America edition of the report (although almost all editions include similar findings): - Success isn’t the norm: A startling 4% of survey respondents said they would rate their content marketing efforts as “extremely successful,” and only 23% would say “very successful.” - Strategy is not a focus: Just 39% of respondents said they have a documented content strategy. This, above all else, absolutely makes my content-loving heart break. Digging deeper into the report, it’s clear more companies are doing more content marketing than ever before. They’re throwing more money at content than ever before. But what they’re doing isn’t really working like they hoped – which may be because far too many don’t have a plan for what they’re doing – or fully understand why. This is why we need to talk honestly and constructively about our content failures. Reframing what we mean by failure At this point, I could start throwing around lofty inspirational quotes from über successful writers and business leaders, describing failure as a speed bump on the highway to success … or whatever. Instead, let’s try a different approach. To begin with, we can all agree that failure sucks. It’s flat-out awful. It leaves us feeling worthless, useless, and all the other -less words you can think of, too. But, while failure is inevitable, framed correctly it’s also a tool. For example: - A/B testing: Whenever we split campaigns, test different headlines, or swap sets of body copy, a clear outcome can be seen; one test wins, while the other fails. In this instance, knowing what doesn’t work is just as important as knowing what does. - Post-mortem meetings: After any big content project, website launch, or campaign, a post-mortem meeting should be held. This is when teams can get together to talk about what went well and, more importantly, what didn’t. Knowing which processes need to be fixed or what led the project astray creates a better, stronger, more stable foundation for the next project. - Content metrics: We tend to focus on top-performing content, looking for characteristics to replicate and scale up. But what about all the blogs and articles people aren’t reading? Instead of treating content failures as unworthy of deeper analysis, digging a little deeper can reveal equally valuable insights: which topics to publish less; which publishing times to avoid; which tactics need revising. Knowing what not to do can make editorial calendars more successful in the long run. - Personal mistakes and missteps: Ever sent a piece of content out for approval with a mortifying typo? What about that huge mistake in the presentation? Or maybe a campaign pointed to the wrong URL? How many times did those scenarios happen again? The answer should be “zero.” Rather than shaking your confidence and questioning your ability, acknowledging and acting on your mistakes can give you greater certainty next time. There’s a word for this: “experience.” Failure doesn’t have to be a black-or-white, good-or-bad result. It can be both. And reframing failure isn’t a hall pass for sloppy work or letting epic mistakes slide, either. Instead of something to fear or deny, failure should be seen as a way to become more informed, leading to better decisions for the future.“Failure should be seen as … leading to better decisions for the future,” writes @annabananahrach. Click To Tweet Removing the fear of failure To reframe what failure looks like – setting ourselves and our teams up to fail in all the right ways – we have to first remove the fear: - Lead by example: While mistakes and failures aren’t something that should necessarily be encouraged, acknowledge that they happen. Show people that failures and mistakes shouldn’t be hidden but, in many cases, shared and learned from. Otherwise, you’re creating a culture of fear. But it may not be enough to tell your teams, “It’s OK to fail.” We know the Wizard of Oz approach to content failure – “pay no attention to what’s happening behind the curtain” – doesn’t work. If you really want to help your teams recover faster and learn from failure, start being open and honest about your own mistakes and failures, and they’ll start doing the same for their own. Unfortunately, this is something that companies and agencies often struggle with the most. - Expect to fail: When has work or life ever gone according to plan A? Or even plan B, C, or D for that matter? If we expect nothing less than perfection and amazing results, we’re in for a world of hurt. What if the content doesn’t bring in leads? What if the campaign doesn’t show success? What if we need more than two hours to write a 1,500-word blog post? Don’t chalk it up to a total wash. Learn from the results and move forward armed with better data and information than before. - Hire the right people for the right job: Avoid setting people up for failure from the start. All content creators and content marketers are not created equal. The background of each writer directly influences the type of content created, and the same goes for content marketers. Make sure you find the right content creator for what you’re trying to accomplish. For example, maybe a writer who cares more about what beers are on tap than which team is at bat at a baseball game shouldn’t create content for a sports equipment manufacturer when there are other, more experienced writers better suited for the job. Don’t set your writers, content marketers, or even yourself up for a “diner menu copy” situation. When all else fails … … there’s nothing left to do but laugh. Like that one time I copied and pasted a typo. Which happened to be “Virginia” misspelled in the worst way possible. And it was only caught after I sent it to the client.

Remember that guy from Rayners Lane? Jai Paul? He caused some serious waves a few years ago with the down-tempo funk of “Jasmine”, then in 2013, an apparent album surfaced on Bandcamp, but it was quickly dismissed by Paul himself, urging fans not to buy it, that it wasn’t uploaded by him, and it disappeared as fast as it appeared. Hearts sank. Nothing’s been heard of him since. But fear not, because Toronto-native Marlon James is here and he’s just served up a delicious remix of Paul’s “Str8 Outta Mumbai”. He’s given it a Western make-over: it’s now propelled by a synthy pulse and a smacking snare, with dirty guitar licks that culminate in a shredding solo, that replace the original’s percussive Bangra rhythm and high-pitched Indian vocals. Two days ago, he tweeted that his album’s done. Let’s hope that the rest of the material follows in the same vein.

Handmade by the the artisans of the Christian Ulbricht Company. They've been making nutcrackers by hand in Germany's Erzgebirge Mountains, where wooden nutcrackers first originated, since 1928. Each part of this drummer is solid wood, including the top of his tri-corner hat. The sides of his hat are felt and brocade ribbon and there's a feather in his cap. His white hair and beard are lush faux fur, and his uniform and drum are trimmed in metallic golden touches of tassel and trim. This is a working nutcracker (the lever in back operates his jaws) and a piece worthy of heirloom status. Just about 28" tall x 10" wide x 11" deep with a hand tinted face for a blush of color; the rest of the nutcracker is finished so that the natural colors of the various woods are brought to light in a satin finish. Handmade in Germany. This item ships only to US addresses via UPS Ground, which means we cannot ship to PO Boxes. We'll cover the shipping cost for you. We've seen this gorgeous piece online from other retailers at prices as high as $1,799.... we think our price is a bit more fair for all parties involved (artisan, customer, retailer): our price is $1,395 plus you get free shipping to your US address.

Is 350 a good temperature to cook a turkey? Roast the turkey uncovered at a temperature ranging from 325°F to 350°F. Higher temperatures may cause the meat to dry out, but this is preferable to temperatures that are too low which may not allow the interior of the turkey to cook to a safe temperature. How long do you cook a turkey at 350? Calculate turkey cooking time and temperature. The simplest way to figure out turkey roasting times is to calculate 13 minutes per pound at 350°F for an unstuffed turkey (that’s about 3 hours for a 12- to 14-lb. turkey), or 15 minutes per pound for a stuffed turkey. Do you cook a turkey at 325 or 350? Roast in a 325° or 350° (depending on size of bird; see below) oven until thermometer registers 160°. If turkey is unstuffed, tip slightly to drain juices from body cavity into pan. Transfer turkey to a platter. Let stand in a warm place, uncovered, for 15 to 30 minutes, then carve. Do you cook a turkey at 350 or 375? Our Best Turkey Tips The Test Kitchen agrees that 375℉ is the best temperature to cook a turkey, because it’s not too hot, not too cold, and cooks quickly enough to ensure that a juicy, flavorful bird is ready by dinnertime. How long should you cook a turkey at 325? How Long to Roast a Turkey - For one 8- to 12-pound turkey, roast at 325°F for 2¾ to 3 hours. - For one 12- to 14-pound turkey, roast at 325°F for 3 to 3¾ hours. - For one 14- to 18-pound turkey, roast at 325°F for 3¾ to 4¼ hours. - For one 18- to 20-pound turkey, roast at 325°F for 4¼ to 4½ hours. How long do I cook a 12 lb turkey at 300 degrees? Rub oil over all sides of turkey. and place turkey in uncovered roasting pan in oven. Bake for 1 hours at 300 degrees to kill bacteria. How long do you cook a 10 pound turkey at 325? Roast in a 325°F oven for 2-1/4 hours. Remove foil; cut band of skin or string between drumsticks so thighs cook evenly. Continue roasting for 30 to 45 minutes more (1 to 1-1/4 hours if stuffed), or until the thermometer registers 180°F; and the center of the stuffing (if using) is 165°F. How long do you cook a 40 lb turkey? You should get an accurate thermometer to be sure that you roast the turkey just right. Rub oil or butter on it and cook it unstuffed. don`t cover it until it`s cooked about 2/3 done,We cooked at 325 for about 4 hrs. How long should you cook a 19 lb turkey? In an oven set to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, cooking an 18- to 20-pound unstuffed thawed or fresh turkey will take between 4 1/4 and 4 1/2 hours, according to the USDA. This amounts to about 14 minutes of cooking time per pound. For a 19-pound turkey, this comes to about four hours and 26 minutes. Should you wash your turkey? Wash Hands and Surfaces; not the Turkey According to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, washing raw poultry, beef, pork, lamb, or veal before cooking it is not recommended. Bacteria in raw meat and poultry juices can be spread to other foods, utensils, and surfaces.

In the commercial swimming pool industry, the overwhelming choice for pool piping material selection is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The use of such materials can provide security, as it is non-corrosive, and if installed properly, some would say this pipe material can provide an almost infinite life span. But, in comparison to other pipe material selections, such as cast-iron, ductile iron, steel and concrete, PVC has a much higher coefficient of thermal expansion. This coefficient considers the amount of expansion or contraction that will occur due to the temperature range your pipe will endure and the length of pipe you are calculating. Thus, the design and installation of PVC pipe must consider how to accommodate such changes in pipe length. For pools located in areas with seasonal temperature changes that utilize long runs of straight pipe sections, consideration should be given to accommodating expansion and contraction of the pipe. The ASTM Standard 2774 Underground Installation of Thermoplastic Pressure Piping, contains specific information on the topic of expansion and contraction in pool piping. A science-based formula for determining the expected change in pipe length due to expansion and contraction is: By knowing the amount of expansion or contraction that will occur in your piping system, you can adjust the design as needed. These accommodations can range from changes in vertical or horizontal direction of your piping system, to the use of mechanical expansion and contraction joints. Changes in pipe direction using expansion loops, offsets and bends are ways to accommodate the expected changes in pipe length within your system. Considering that pool piping systems often have changes in direction due to the inclusion of supply inlets, main drains and feature supplies, the design and installation of the underground pool piping system naturally accommodates expansion and contraction. However, there are times when pipe runs become quite lengthy without changes in direction, and considerations for the inclusion of an expansion loop or mechanical joint will be needed. Mechanical expansion joints come in many different types. Their primary purpose is to provide a means of flexibility in the piping network for expansion and contraction. They often work by allowing the pipe to slide into or out of itself like a piston. Installation of mechanical expansion joints for underground piping is critical. If the mechanical expansion joints, along with the materials used for backfill around the joints, are not properly installed, the effectiveness can be compromised. For example, backfill materials can make their way into the mechanical joint and hamper pipe movement. If backfill materials are a concern, it is recommended to boot the joint for protection. In most installations, the straight pipe runs are not excessive enough or the design of the piping network will already include many bends or turns in the pipe. However, for those occasions where environmental factors result in expansion and contraction of pool piping, or straight pipe runs 100 feet or more exist, the design and installation must have allowances for the changes in pipe length that will occur. Without these provisions, the underground piping will be susceptible to potential damage, which will result in leaks to your pool piping system.

The Hershey Company is the largest North American manufacturer of quality chocolate and sugar confectionery products. With revenues of nearly $5 billion and more than 13,000 employees worldwide. (The Hershey Company 2007) Hershey’s produces a variety of sweets and confectionary which can be grouped according to different types. These are sold in the United States and in many other countries. Some of the Hershey brand’s include 100 calorie chocolate bars, almond joy candy bar, cacao reserve by Hershey’s, Cadbury chocolates, 5th avenue candy bar, heath toffee bar, Hershey’s milk chocolate, Hershey’s extra dark, Hershey’s pot of gold boxed chocolates, Hershey sticks, kissable brand chocolate candies, Hershey’s kisses brand chocolates, kit Kat wafer bar, krackel chocolate bar, Mauna Loa, milk duds candy etc.. Other groups are snacks, sugar confectionary, gum and mint pantry items and kosher products. The major lines include Hershey’s solution centre, Snacks , Ice Breakers, Jolly Rancher, Twizzler’s kisses, Kit Kat, Reese’s and Hershey’s. Patents, copyrights, Trade Secrets and Trademark It was in 1907 that the first Hershey brand of chocolates was introduced. In 1924 Milton S. Hershey established a registered trademark for the “plume” extending out of the KISSES brand wrapper. In 1976 the familiar foil wrap was established as a registered trademark. (The Hershey Company) Hershey chocolate is a trademark and many of the names, shapes and packaging of the chocolates are protected by U. S patent and trademark office. Hershey’s own various registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks and have rights under licenses to use various trademarks that are of material importance to the Hershey business (Hershey Co 2007) Hershey in 2005 blocked a Californian company from using the name milkdutz for a line of clothing for breast feeding mothers as it makes milk duds candy (USA today 2005) The shape of Hershey’s Kisses chocolate candy is a registered trademark. No one else can use that shape for chocolate candy morsels as long as Hershey is using it (USA today 2001) Technology The chocolate is made using a blending system to make a chocolate liquor combine it with milk and sugar and dry it to make a powder. This powder is mixed with cocoa butter to make a paste. The paste is placed inside conches which are large granite rollers to smooth out the chocolate. Mostly the chocolate is placed in moulds. The molding machines can fill 1000 moulds per minute. The moulds are vibrated to remove air bubbles. Kissed however are made differently where a precise amount of chocolate is dropped on a quickly moving steel belt which is cooled quickly to give the shape of the kisses. Hershey’s secrets: There has always been a rivalry between Hershey’s and Mar’s from the beginning of their formations. The two founders were very different characters. There were bitter legal and marketing fights between these two companies. (Brenner1998) I’d like to buy the world a Hershey’s bar Except for a TV and billboard campaign in Canada in 1964, the company had never really done advertising on a national scale. In 1968, the newly renamed and reorganized Hershey Foods Corporation announced plans for a nationwide consumer advertising campaign spearheaded by the famous Ogilvy ; Mather ad agency. (The Hershey Company 2007) The company claims their quality of their products is the best form of advertising although many of its products are advertised through all forms of media.

Showing Collections: 1 - 6 of 6 Scope and Contents Autograph collections were popular during the 19th century. Individual collectors and libraries sought autographs, manuscripts, letters, and signatures of well-known people. The Historical Medical Library maintains its own collection of autographs, likely compiled by previous librarians. The collection consists mainly of correspondence; however, a good number are facsimiles of the original held at other institutions. Please visit the link below for an inventory of the autographs...

I suppose these are things I already knew. I just didn’t know it was so bad. I’m still trying to process it all. It’s come to light as I’ve been forced to deconstruct and understand traffic to this blog and the comments people are leaving. It’s made my head spin and I’m trying to figure it out. From May 6th until June 3rd I was blogging about our trip with Compassion International to Rwanda and Kenya, the poverty we saw, the deep needs we encountered, and the plight of hurting people. . . particularly children. I pondered our God-given responsibility to “the least of these.” In response, I received some great notes of encouragement from people who were being challenged as we shared how we were challenged. Some – a handful – left thoughtful comments on the blog. Others even stepped up and sponsored children through Compassion International. Then, on June 4th I shifted gears and expressed some long held thoughts about the “reality” TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8. In response, 200 comments of all shapes, sizes, and flavors have already been posted. Some are nasty. Some are nice. Ok. . . think about this for a minute. . . .several blogs on tremendous need in the world. One blog on a reality show about a family falling to pieces. The Africa blogs more or less fell through the cracks in terms of response. The other one. . . well, it’s off the charts. If you don’t believe me, I’ve been checking the traffic for each of the blogs. The blogs on our Compassion trip generated an average of a couple hundred visitors a day. The blog (singular) on the Gosselin family has generated tens of thousands of visits. Yesterday alone 7,300 people logged on to read that blog. So now my head is spinning as I’m trying to gather my thoughts, understand this all in light of our culture-at-large, and try to figure out what this says about who we are. As I’ve processed the terribly imbalanced traffic flow and wide variety of comments here’s what I’ve been thinking – and asking – so far. . . 1. We’re more interested in obsessing over celebrity than we are over the great needs of people in the world. 2. I remember hearing Tony Campolo talk about the dangers of money, sex, and power back when I was just out of college. We can add celebrity to that list. Tony was simply communicating Scriptural truths about the idols that destroy us. Like others in all times and all places, we’re still not listening. We continue to bow down. We’re killing ourselves. . . and we don’t even know it. History repeats itself. 3. Biblical illiteracy is at epidemic proportions here in America. It’s at epidemic proportions both inside and outside the walls of the church. We’ve created a “god” and a theology in our own image. Personal opinion oftentimes trumps God’s Word. 4. Are people hearing solid Biblical theology and teaching in their churches? 5. Are people serious about integrating their faith into all of life? Have they even been challenged and equipped to do so? 6. Are people interested in thinking Christianly and critically about all of life? Have they even been challenged and equipped to do so? 7. When will we begin to understand that no, life is not about me? 8. When will get our eyes off of ourselves, realize how damaging divorce is to everyone involved (especially the kids), and do everything in our power to live out our marital vows? 9. When will we start to pay to attention to our Maker, His will, and His way? When will we realize that life is about living to the honor and glory of God? 10. What can a serious look at our history teach us about where we’ve failed in youth ministry? In other words, what have we done to contribute to where we’re at as a culture? I’ve found it all very troubling. I hope that each of us will take a long hard look at our world and our selves through the eyes of the postings, the comments, and the traffic. What does it tell you?

KMS Office Activator Crack For Windows 10 [Latest Download + 2021] KMS office 2020 Crack is a key management system to activate Microsoft products such as Windows and Office. Microsoft uses MAK (Multiple Activation Keys) and KMS Crack(Key Management System) for volume-based Windows 10 activation. MAK keys are used to call back to Microsoft’s server, in the same way, that clients using KMS activate Windows by calling the KMS server on the local network instead of Microsoft’s. KMS office 2020 replaces the original key with the volume license key and locally creates an emulated copy of the KMS Activation server, avoiding online activation. Thus, your Windows system cannot connect to the online server and will continue to work with that replaced license key and consider it the original key. That’s why antivirus and Windows defenders see KMSPico as a virus. This does not mean that all KMS office 2020 Crack on the Internet are genuine and virus-free. If you install a fake KMSPico, your PC will be full of malware. I have also used KMSPico Full Version and it worked fine with no issues with my machine (Windows 10). But now I am using HWID Windows Activator. I also don’t use an antivirus app because Windows Defender works great in Windows 10. Some sites say that KMSPico Free is malicious (like this one), but this is only possible if you download and install a fake activator. I have provided some links to download the official KMS office 2020 Windows activator. Window 10 Crack: With a volume license, a single product key can activate multiple copies of the same product (for example, the same version of an operating system). Microsoft has developed the Key Management Service (KMS) to simplify the activation of the volume of licensed products. Using KMS Window crack, a server is deployed internally and keeps track of the activation status of volume-licensed products in the environment. Machines on the network use this internal server for activation instead of contacting Microsoft. A KMS host is a machine that works like a KMS server. One or more KMS Activator Office 2016 hosts can control activation for other machines in the environment. A machine that is activated using a KMS host is known as a KMS client regardless of whether it has a client or server operating system (OS). KMS Activator For Microsoft Office 2016: To activate a KMS host server, install a KMS host key on it. The KMS host key is available through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) and is tied to a specific volume licensing agreement. A KMS host server does not need to have a server operating system; machines with client operating systems can act as KMS office 2020 Crack host servers, but they can only activate other machines with client operating systems.KMS clients usually find a KMS host using DNS, but they can also be manually configured through the registry to use a specific KMS host. For more information, see how to Register a Key Management Service (KMS) Host Server in DNS. Office Activator Download: A KMS host keeps a count of the number of KMS clients that have requested activation. The KMS host will not activate KMS Office clients until the number of activations reaches a certain threshold, which varies depending on whether the KMS office Crack client is running a server or a client operating system. For server operating systems, the threshold is 5, and for client operating systems, the threshold is 25. Note that the activation threshold depends on the operating system of the KMS client, but not the number of activations. To illustrate the difference, consider the following example, in which a new KMS host with Windows Server 2008 R2 has just been deployed. The number of activations is initially zero, after which the following events occur: - Inventory management - Marketing Management - Order management - Performance statistics - Professional and friendly working environment. The project I worked on offers many opportunities to learn new things and keep up with technological trends. There are also plenty of opportunities to help and contribute to different communities with exciting activities. - All companies have their drawbacks. Most importantly, those drawbacks are acceptable and you can comfortably work for the business and have room to grow. I enjoy working in the environment that KMS offers and at the same time I am able to constantly grow myself. Minimum system requirements: The individual planning to install the KMS office Crack must ensure that the hard disk space is more than 5 MB, have administrative authority and the Net Framework 4 package is available on the computer or needs to be installed.
