If you’re planning on visiting Scotland, you’re in for a real treat. This is a beautiful country with a rich history and culture, and there is any number of things to see and do here. In fact, there is so much to do that you may have trouble narrowing it down if your vacation time is short. With that in mind, here are the top three stops you need to make while you’re in bonnie Scotland. The Isle of Skye. This island, the best known of the Inner Hebrides off the West coast of the mainland, is a popular Scottish destination that is renowned for its natural beauty. There’s something here for everyone. Nature lovers will delight in the variety of wildlife and the gorgeous native plants and flowers. Art enthusiasts will be thrilled to learn that Skye has several galleries featuring talented local artists. If you can, stay in one of the local bed and breakfasts and spend a few days exploring the island. The Cairngorms. The Cairngorms, a stunning mountain range located in the East Highlands, is a major draw for any ski buffs. The stunning mountain range makes for some gorgeous photo ops, and experienced skiers will have the benefit of the black slopes of the Cairngorm mountains, a unique and exciting experience. Stirling Castle. Though perhaps less well known than the popular Edinburgh castle, this dazzling historic structure is a worthwhile visit for anyone interested in Scottish history. For a small fee, you’ll gain a unique insight into the lives of Scotland’s Renaissance royals. Explore the Great Hall, the palace vaults, the royal chapel, and more. This national symbol of Scottish independence will reveal the lives of knights and nobles in detail that you’ll have to see to believe. While you’re there, be certain to try some traditional Scottish fare. Mince ‘n’ tatties (a dish of mashed up mince, potatoes, and gravy) comes highly recommended. And you’ll also want to drink some Irn Bru, a Scottish soft drink that is highly popular among native Scots. The time that you spend basking in the Scottish culture will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.

What is there left to be said about John Coulter that history books will not reveal to us? In a world of gray and black John Coulter is a bright red tassel. He lives by the ancient Tibetan philosophy,”don’t start none won’t be none.” He is an Eagle Scout, a 4th° black belt, a 30-year truck driver, a standup comic, a loving and devoted husband and friend, and one time in Tasmania, he punched Russel Crowe in the face. The conundrum that is John COULTER is simply unraveled by the phrase, “let’s get a beer.” Congratulations to everyone that has the pleasure of meeting him.

But school officials told him he made a terrible decision last year when he brought antique swords to West Rowan High School to show to his friends. Harris faced a misdemeanor criminal charge, and school officials sent him to Henderson Independent School for at least 90 days, he said. That was almost a year ago. He’s enjoyed his time at Henderson so much that he doesn’t want to leave. “I felt I was more respected at Henderson from all the teachers, so I decided I was going to stay,” Harris, a junior, said last week while he volunteered at Rowan Helping Ministries. Last week, about 10 students from Henderson spent the afternoon at Helping Ministries, which operates a daily soup kitchen, overnight shelter and a number of crisis assistance programs. Harris spent his time folding clothes for the donation center, while some of his classmates fixed lunch and manned the front desk. High school students need at least 15 hours of community service to graduate. Volunteering at Rowan Helping Ministries is a good way for students to earn those hours, said Sam Burnette, a transition counselor at Henderson. But it’s more than meeting a requirement, Burnette said. “We’re doing this in order for them to give back to the community,” he said. Harris doesn’t need more community-service hours. He got his hours in his freshman year with the Future Farmers of America. He pulled corn for festivals and sold chicken biscuits at the Rowan County Fair. But Harris wanted to volunteer at Helping Ministries anyway. “It’s a responsibility for us who are more fortunate than others,” Harris said. Seventeen-year-old Nelson Valenzuela, a junior at Henderson, feels the same way. He has personal experience with people who need some extra help, he said. “I guess I’m making a difference by helping them,” Valenzuela said. The bonus is getting out of class for a while. Curtis Torrence, a 17-year-old senior, made sweet tea and helped prepare the hot dogs served for lunch in the soup kitchen. “I got out of school, I got to do something,” Torrence said, “and I got to help people. That’s always good.” Like Harris, Torrence said he has prospered at Henderson. In fact, he’s making straight As, a big turnaround from his academic performance at East Rowan High School. Now he has goals, Torrence said. He wants to go to college and become a park ranger. Volunteering is a way for the Henderson staff to remind students that a brighter future is available to them, Burnette said.

Those nifty countdown timers on most modern crossing lights certainly seem convenient for pedestrians: knowing how much time you have can help you hustle or let you relax your pace across an intersection. However, it turns out that they're actually increasing the number of accidents. Motorists surreptitiously use them to enable more second-shaving aggressive driving. One solution offered by researchers is to replace visible timers with audio-only timers, which pedestrians can hear but most drivers can't. A little less information just might make drivers a little less dangerous! [via Gizmodo, photo credit Ed Yourdon] Posted by Dave Gustafson on 11/17/2014 Labels: bad designs, cars, good designs 2 comments: Pul said... I generally really like the countdown timers, but what bothers me is that some of them are honest - when it hits 0 the light actually changes - and some of them are not - when it hits 0, you still have plenty of time to cross. For the intersections that I regularly cross I know which is which, but when I'm at a new intersection it's still a guessing game as to how much time I really have. November 30, 2014 at 3:06 PM Dave Gustafson said... Interesting, I'd never noticed that some timers aren't quite honest - but I bet I'll notice them all the time now that you mention it!

Property homes are being bought and sold step by step. This ends up being extensively more critical as by far most of us understand that the property trading is an epic recommendation.

In this article we will see that definitively how tremendous this receipt can be and moreover unequivocally how it is prepared. Without a doubt, license us beginning explore that what things are to be included in the realty receipt. We will move from one feature one more. The centres are as holds quick to.

A family from Tabasco, who was on board a Nissan Sentra, endured an inexplicable rollover causing the vehicle to leave the road very close to where a few weeks ago an unfortunate tragedy occurred on the Kinchil-Celestún highway. (SSP).- Personnel from the Ministry of Public Security, went to report the emergency service when they noticed a stake through the driver’s head, like a horror movie. The driver identified as Juan José López Rodríguez, 40, came out safe and sound. The same fate befell his 36-year-old wife, and his 8- and 12-year-old daughters, respectively, as they resulted in some blows, but they did not merit their transfer to a hospital. According to his own testimony, at kilometer 51, the steering wheel would no longer work, so the driver could not control the car and ended up leaving his right lane until it overturned in the bushes. Don Juan said incredulously that he did not notice the moment the tree branch crossed the seat, three inches away from his face. Juan Jose had his seat belt on, the same as all the members of his family. Besides, the driver’s side door was crushed. Finally, the injured person called his insurance company to take care of the car; apparently, the compact Nissan Sentra license plate number WUN714A was a total loss. The incident took place one kilometer away from the spot where a brutal clash occurred one month ago, which left 5 people dead.

It can be very frustrating to tear a contact lens. You might wonder, why can’t they just make them out of a stronger material? Currently more than 30 million Americans wear contact lenses and most of them choose soft contact lenses because the soft lens material is very comfortable and is able to let a great deal of oxygen to the cornea keeping them healthy. But this comfort comes with the price of the potential for damage. Read on to learn some tips for preventing rips in your contact lenses. Avoid using fingernails–Contact lens tearing is commonly caused by using fingernails to handle lenses. When removing your lenses, use your thumb and forefinger to slide the lens to break the suction then remove. Never use your nails to pinch from the center. Keep your nails short and filed to prevent accidental nicks. Unfold in solution–If your lens gets folded by accident, pulling the edges apart with your fingers could result in a rip. Instead, place your lens in a pool of saline solution in the palm of your hand. Gently massage the submerged lens until the moisture helps it open without damage. Keep them moist–A dry lens is an easily damaged lens. Never store your lenses dry, always store them in solution. If your lenses have become dry in your eyes, use rewetting drops before taking them out. Avoid using water or any other liquid than contact solution on your lenses. Keep lens case full–Being conservative can be a virtue but not when it comes to filling your lens case with solution. If the case is only partially full, the lens can adhere to the dry wall, and when you go to take them out, it can cause a tear. Ask about the modulus– All contacts may look roughly the same, but there are variations between contact lens styles–design, oxygen permeability, material. One of the main variations is something called the modulus which is the measurement of the material’s resistance to deformation under tension. A higher modulus number means a slightly stiffer lens which is easier to handle while a lower modulus lens would tend to be floppier requiring more handling and potential for tearing. However, these lower modulus lenses, such as the Coopervision Proclear line, have a high water content and are associated with a higher comfort level. If you have an issue with your lenses tearing, ask your eye doctor about the best modulus for you. What to do with a torn lens– If you have torn a lens, never keep wearing it, even if it’s just a small tear along the side. Any torn edge can scratch the cornea. To remove a torn lens, wash your hands then add some rewetting solution to fully lubricate the lens preventing any bits from sticking to the eye. Pull your lower eyelid down using your thumb and forefinger and use the index finger to slide the larges part of the torn lens down to the lower part of the eye. Use your thumb and forefinger to take the lens out of your eye then examine your eye for any pieces that may remain.

Walter Jacka, partner in Jacka and Sullivan Livery, whose stable was located in the rear of this lot, commissioned this building when his previous building on the site was destroyed by fire. The new building was predicted to cost $20,000. Before construction started, the plan was to divide the first floor into two stores. The newspaper said that the north storefront had been let to jeweler John Ellis, and that its corner entrance was intended to be an “artistic” entrance: “An archway will be built over the door with magnificent sandstone copings,” which had already been fabricated. The other store was not yet leased, but it appears that when Merchants & Miners Bank became the tenant, it occupied both store spaces. The stairway to the upper floor was located along the north wall of the building. The offices on the second floor included the quarters of the Calumet & Arizona Mining Company, which occupied a 16’ by 20’ counting room and a 7’ x 12’ vault, along with other rooms.1 The building has suffered some unfortunate exterior renovations. The two-story building’s cornice has been removed, the round oriel at the corner has been enclosed, and the first-floor storefronts have been compromised. The unusual light-colored brick was “made from the conglomerate stamp sand taken from the old Albany & Boston mine, which is now the Franklin Junior mine.” On the interior, the brick came from the Lake Superior Sand Lime Brick Company in Ripley. The sandstone for the coping, sills, and lintels came from the Traverse Bay Red Stone Company.2

In 2015 Ford announced GT production would continue at the Multimatic Assembly facility in Markham. It was part of a plan to make the GT competitive in racing at Le Mans, and to get a production version to market and delivered to the first buyers by the end of 2016. The team at Ford and Multimatic achieved both, and in the process opened a new chapter in the the Ford GT Legend. FORD GT BEING ASSEMBLED IN MARKHAM ONTARIO CANADA WATCH THE FULL REPORT WITH RICK WALKER The Ford GT40 was developed when Henry Ford tried to buy Ferrari in the early 1960s. When Ferrari pulled out of negotiations Ford built the GT40 to compete at Lemans. The GT40 won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive times, from 1966 to 1969. GT40s finished at Le Mans 1-2-3 in 1966. The 2017 road going version of the GT has a twin turbo V6 engine that produces 600 horsepower. The carbon fibre bodied supercar has a price tag of approximately $400,000. For Ford and the companies suppliers, the GT is an expression of its Fords racing and sports car heritage, and a showcase of its current and future engineering and technological power, especially as it relates to aerodynamic design, the use of lightweight construction materials, and Fords ecoboost engine technology.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed three bills last week as a part of “Tax Reform 2.0:” H.R. 6760 – “Protecting Family and Small Business Tax Cuts Act of 2018,” “H.R. 6757 – “Family Savings Act of 2018,” and H.R. 6756 – “American Innovation Act of 2018.” These three bills build upon the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” that was signed into law in December. “These three bills continue to take steps forward for our economy and our country. Over the past year, we have seen jobs created, growth in our economy, and hardworking Americans keep more of the money they earn,” Thornberry said. “It is now up to the Senate to continue this work.” How will “Tax Reform 2.0” help individuals and their families? — Permanently extends tax reform provisions that currently expire in 2025, including: — Lower individual tax rates and larger standard deduction — Higher child tax credit, — Doubled estate tax exemption, and — Higher alternative minimum tax threshold. — Allows individuals to deduct their medical expenses if they exceeded 7.5 (instead of 10 percent) percent of their adjusted gross income through 2020. — Creates a new Universal Savings Account (USA) to offer a fully flexible savings tool that families can use at any time. — Gives flexibility to also use education savings to pay for apprenticeship fees to learn a trade, cover the cost of homeschooling, and help pay off student debt. — Allows families to access their retirement accounts on a penalty-free basis to use as they see fit when welcoming a new child into the family, whether by birth or adoption. And allows families to replenish those retirement accounts in the future. How will “Tax Reform 2.0” help small business? — Makes the 20 percent deduction for pass-through business income permanent. — Allows new businesses to write off more of their initial start-up cost. — Allows start-ups to expand by bringing in new investors without triggering limits on their access to tax benefits like the R&D credit for activities conducted in their early years. — Helps local businesses provide retirement plans to their employees. Thornberry also said, “We have seen a lot of positive outcomes from the ‘Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,’ and I am hopeful that we will continue to see a healthier economy, more jobs, and Americans living a higher quality of life.

"Amazingly stunning" only begins to describe the grandeur and magnitude of Yosemite National Park! Part 3 of this journey begins when we arrive in Yosemite and have the most gorgeous views I have seen in my life to date! I shall digress for a moment: Traveling in California is a different experience than I am normally used to because I am from the Midwest and I enjoy my space, privacy and ease of getting from one place to the other. With this trip being my first time to actually explore some of California's national parks, I had a rude awakening to the challenges associated with actually getting around and doing any backcountry travel. We absolutely lucked out on the earlier leg of this journey with not having to deal with crowds or campsite issues. But upon arriving in Yosemite, we quickly realized this park is one of a kind. I have never been brought to tears due to frustration with trying to speak with a park representative on the phone than when I tried getting help figuring out backcountry permits at Yosemite. Let me explain: I am known for being a planner and pride myself on having trips go smoothly when I plan them. This was a very humbling experience of how under prepared I was for the complexities of Yosemite. Having a mindset of "we can just wing it," doesn't make for a very smooth backcountry experience when at this park. There were 4 of us in our group that had planned on doing the cables at Half Dome. 3 out of the 4 of us had our permits. Trying to get a permit for the 4th person was a complete nightmare. We finally only figured out our best options after speaking with some locals. Let me just say that some of my best travel experiences have been taking the advice of locals on what to go see and do! So when you are out and about, don't forget to ask the locals about their favorite spots to check out! It will enhance your trip experience for sure! Our first priority was to try and get a cable permit for the last person in our group. This entailed sleeping in the back seat of the mustang convertible (yeah, now you see another reason why that rental was not a good choice) since there were no camping spots in the park that were available. We then had to get up before the sun to head to the back country park office to wait in line for a few hours with the HOPE of getting a cable permit. We ended up being the the third group in line. The only people ahead of us had camped out in front of the office the night before! Luckily we got in line as early as we did because if we would have been any later all four of us would have not been able to do climb the cables at Half Dome. We were able to snag the last set of 4 spots for camping in Little Yosemite Valley. With that came automatic permits to hiking up the cables. So all that hard work paid off. Please learn from my mistakes and when you are going to a super popular place, plan your trip out accordingly so your vacation won't be dampened due to stress! Now that we had the camping and permit issues out of the way, we were able to head to our trail head and start our 8 mile journey to Little Yosemite Valley! Our permits were for the Glacier Point trailhead and we started the hike in the early afternoon. The views during our hike were just gorgeous and I really enjoyed getting into the backcountry of this very rugged part of the country. We saw a lot more people along the way than I expected on the hike to the campsite. We crossed the Upper Nevada Falls which was super cool to see the water flowing so high. There were all sorts of warning about dangerous water currents since all the rivers and creeks were running really high due to an exceptionally high amount of snow fall the prior winter . We arrived at Little Yosemite Valley Campground right at dusk so we set up camp and prepped for our day hike to Half Dome and climbing the cables. We knew that the cables get really busy so we wanted to summit Half Dome as early as possible. ​ We got up at 4:00am and headed out to conquer the cables. I was exceptionally nervous to climb the cables because I am scared of heights. I was going to get to the base and see how I felt at the time and then decide if I was going to climb them or not. ​ After getting to the base of Half Dome and looking up at those damn cables I decided I had come this far over the most rugged terrain I had traveled in my life and I would not pass up the opportunity to mark off an item on my bucket list! So I put on my leather gloves (which I would come to find out weren't really needed) and started the climb to the top of Half Dome. There is such a feeling of accomplishment when you push yourself to do something you are scared to do. Right when I got to the crux of the climb, I had a mini panic attack but then I said to myself that I had come too far to not finish so, f*** it I am doing this! That was the motivation I needed and I made it to the TOP! I really felt like I was on the top of the world; it was such a cool experience! The four of us headed back down the cables and only had to cross paths with a few people on the actual cables. We were back down the cables by about 8am that morning and as we were making our way down the trail to Little Yosemite Valley we came across hoards of people. And so many of them were unprepared and did not have on the proper shoe wear. I was actually quite surprised how far some of these people had hiked in flip flops and one little bottle of water! Though the overall hike up Half Dome was a very hard hike for me, I am so glad I did it because it taught me some valuable lessons but it also gave me more confidence in myself! I didn't eat enough calories during this leg of the trip and I really struggled to keep up. I am a pretty competitive person and I like to know I did my best at whatever I am doing. I don't have to be first or be the best, I just really strive to know I did my best. This part of the trip was super challenging for me mentally because I got really down on myself about not being as fast as everyone else. I felt slow and fat and I hated myself for feeling that way. I don't want to be the kind of person that thinks that way or lets a trip be ruined because of being self conscious. I tried really hard to have a positive attitude and push through my exhaustion. Luckily one of my buddies was nice enough to hike with me on and off and it really helped to boost my morale! There were so many unexpected challenges that arose from this trip and I learned from each one. Here are the 7 things I learned: Plan ahead to the best of your ability A deep breath and a hug goes a long way! Sometimes you do have to wing it and that is ok Food prep and knowing how much you should be eating for the type and length of actively is extremely important Chit chat with the locals Don't sweat the small stuff Sometimes it's better to not say anything at all I hope for those who read this that are debating about doing something but aren't due to their age, size, ability, or whatever that you would not let that stop you. Work towards fulfilling your dreams and becoming the person you want to be. It most likely will not be easy and you will have to work hard to accomplish it. But you know what they say, "they" being Theodore Roosevelt, "Nothing worth having comes easy!"

Hello Everyone! For those who don’t know me my name is Alex (Alexandhros) and i’m a volunteer from Greece. Specifically i’m volunterring in the Narva-Jõesuu, Sinimae and Olgina youth center as well as the Narva-Jõesuu School as a youth worker. I’ve been volunteering now for over 4 and a half months. During this period of living and being part of this country and it’s culture, i’ve created my own point of view and come up with my own conclusions and answers on how it is to live in Estonia and especially in Narva the city which i currently live in. So in retrospect the purpose of this blog is to give you an insight on what my thoughts are regarding Estonia and my experience living in it as well as giving you an insight on my life as a volunteer and in general me as a person. This blog will be updated weekly so if you are interested make sure to stick out with us to get updated weekly!! So i was thinking before writting this, what should i write in my first blog. What’s the first thing that i should start with. After giving it some thought i decide that “you know what, why don’t i start from the beggining...”. So in this blog i’m going to talk to you about why i decided to come and volunteer in Estonia and what was the process that it took for that to happen. Before coming here i was living in Athens for 3 years, studying informatics as a universtity student. Let’s say that at that time i wasn’t in a very good state of mind... I was feeling kind of lost and i wasn’t sure if what i was doing was the right thing for me. I wasn’t sure that what i was studying in university was what i wanted to pursue and continue doing as a job in the future. That in addition to other factors made me feel unfullfiled and insecure. I had the sense that i wasn’t really doing something productive and just letting days and time pass by. The date was October 2019. At that time decided that i should figure out what was going on and ask for help. So I started going to a psychologist. With his help i started to realize that what i was feeling previously was actually the case. So for the first time i started to think about something that i really like and want to experience in my life· and that thing turns out, that it was volunteering. So after a lot of thought and support from my family and close friends i decided in December that i will pause my studies in order to do that. So i started to look for a job so i could start saving money about my trip (and also about my daily expenses and other stuff...). Unfortunately after 3 months of working the Corona virus situation started in Greece so i had to stop what i was doing and also say goodbye to other plans that i also had in mind. But that’s a story for another time... Fortunately things went in my favor so i managed to save enough money! At the same time from the beggining of April i started to look about different volunteering projects in which i could apply for. My plan was to find projects that started maximum in October. I didn’t care so much about what coutry it would take place in. I was more interested about the volunteering experience in a whole. For 5 months i was applying to projects and having interviews with each organization that were in charge of each project. It was a tedious and time consuming process and as time passed by I was getting even more and more concerned about not finding a project in time. Around that time was that i came across a project that was taking place in Estonia. Before reading about this project, i didn’t even know where Estonia was located in the map, not considering traveling it. But after making my research and seeing what this country was actually about, i was surprised and intrigued about all the facts that I was learning about it... That in addition with the fact that Estonia was one of the countries with the lowest covid cases (at the time...) made me even more want to apply to this project. After that i had an interview with my current hosting organization and the rest is history.... So that was it for today’s blog. I appreciate all of you who managed to stick in until the end and also taking time from your everyday life just to read about my shenanigans :P. If you have any questions, or you found something interesting in this blog that maybe you would like me to explain more in depth, or in general any suggestion for next weeks blog you can just leave a comment or just sent me a message so we can make that happen!!

Any weekend that kicks off with an adoption is a good weekend, and today we’re excited to share that news about one of our beloved golden girls, Opal. Opal joined the SECR family last August as one of the seven “gemstones” rescued from a puppy mill as part of Operation Corgi Drop 2.0. At 9 years old, Opal was the oldest of the bunch and dealing with the most serious health issues – dental rot, a mammary mass, and a tumor on her eye. This girl had been through so much and had a steep hill to climb to improve her health, but at first, she wasn’t sure who she could trust to give her the help she needed. She was unsure about how to respond to affection, didn’t understand that treats were things she should love, and was skeptical of walking on a leash. Fast forward 9 months, though, and the Opal you see today is a completely different corgi than the one who came to us as a scared mill Mom. Today, Opal happily takes her place as one of a trio of golden girls in her household – never too far away from her corgi mix sisters and SECR forever fosters Nessa and Olivia. She enjoys walks, loves her Mom and Dad, knows where to find the comfiest beds (hint: it’s where the humans sleep), and can often be found exploring nearby parks and trails. Today Opal is a happy corgi that, after a long wait, finally has the good life she deserves with a family she loves. We’re so happy we could bring them together and announce that Opal has officially been adopted by her foster family. Congratulations, sweet girl! August 18, 2021: Welcome Opal to SECR! Introducing the first of seven gems from Operation Corgi Drop 2.0, please put your paws together for Opal! At 9 years old, Opal is the most senior of this group of mill rescues, and the girl we’re most concerned about health-wise. She’s spent 9 years living at a puppy mill, producing litters for many of those years. This senior girl is not potty trained, has never seen a leash, and doesn’t understand what treats are. She also cowers when her fosters try to pet her, and will need to visit the vet at the end of the week so we can begin addressing several health issues: a limp when she walks, blood from her vagina that may be the result of infection because she is not yet spayed, as well as dental rot. In just one day, she’s already made steps to befriend her foster sisters, smiled when she had the opportunity to romp in the grass, and gladly accepted the opportunity to find a comfortable spot indoors. Despite being a little unsure, Opal also realized how much she loves a good belly rub. This gem is a prime example of why we rescue, and we’re so happy that we have her in our care so she can spend her senior years knowing love, compassion, fun, and all the good things that come with a quality corgi life. Welcome to the family, precious Opal. We love you already and promise you that life is going to be better from here on out.

Well it's been a long time since updating our blog. With the forest school Facebook page doing so well our blog sometimes becomes neglected :( So, what have we been doing? Well, with the incredible weather of late many of us have been enjoying snow days and time out from school. On our Glastonbury Forest school Facebook page we are always uploading resources and ideas of things to do at home, in the garden or out and about to keep you and your children outdoors, learning and exploring. The forest school site: we are predominately delivering sessions at the Godney Road site at present. This is because there is a good amount of willow copse and our current intake of students have a love of den building. Here we have two separate copse areas, one we use in the wetter months and the area that is furthest away we set up for our summer school sessions. We currently have sheep residing on the field within the copse which always makes for some musical and comical experiences during the sessions as they often appear to be joining in with the children's conversations or vice versa! We are really looking forward to the Easter workshops this holiday which are now almost fully booked so if you are considering booking a place for your child please click on the 'book a place' button above and this will take you to our online booking form. We are branching out (excuse the pun) as Kelly our Forest school practitioner is now also consulting pre- schools, nurseries, primary schools and organised groups on the benefits of outdoor learning and how to transform their outdoor spaces. She has also developed a fantastic range of teaching aids and resource packs for schools, pre-schools and organised groups which include task / lesson plans, embed the curriculum, and allow for differentiation.

Vanish was a German Amiga demo group, formed by previous members of Mindkillers, Timex (Calypso, ...), RAF and Panic in the middle of 1991. They were at various times the demo sections of Dynamix and Ministry. Organizers were Calypso and Navy. The presumed october 1991 release of the slideshow Navy's Greatest listed Navy, Calypso, Agnus, Leviathan, Laurence, Strike, Flash and Massive as members at that time. The december release BBS-Intro revealed a big shakeup in the two months between the two releases, where Leviathan, Strike and Flash were out of the memberlist, while Aerobas, Castor, Hemmingway, Magic Duke, Montana Rice, Mr. Bee and Mr. Speeder were new additions. R.A.W 2 (february 1992) reported that Flash left to join Frantic, and that Gloeckner joined the group. Chit Chat 5 (july 1992) reported that Montana Rice and Aerobas left the group for Awesome. Nevermind 3 (march 1993) reported Ascender left Platin for Vanish, and that Scampy left The Special Brothers for Vanish.

Are you searching for tested ways in losing weight? Here you can read easy to observe tips that can help you in your goal of losing weight fast without having to burn a hole in your pocket. A lot of people are struggling to shed some weight. This is not just because they do not know how to properly do so, but because they have been doing something that they think is right, but is actually the wrong way. Amazingly Easy Ways When it comes to losing weight fast, there are simple ways that you can adapt to. It is very important to understand that the primary tip on losing weight has something to do with burning more calories than what you actually consume every day. This is one of the most popular methods that you can do in order to lose weight fast. One way to do so is to carefully watch what you eat. The food you introduce to your body may either make you thin or fat. In order to maximize losing weight fast, it is very important to keep a closer look into the kind of food that you eat every day. There are a lot of options as well as easy ways in which you can possibly lose weight. At the same time, you can also increase the activity level of your body. Another option is by decreasing your food intake, as this can help in burning more calories. Get That Lean Body Your goal here is not just losing weight fast, but also making sure that you stay healthy and good looking, right? Therefore, you also have to consider getting a lean body. While you watch the food that you eat, it is also important to replace all foods that are considered as unhealthy with raw and organic foods. If you take in high nutrient and low-calorie food every day, you can expect to see a drop in your body weight. You may want to keep for yourself a food journal in order to see which food can help you in burning fat, and which foods actually don’t. If you notice that your journal is filled with sodas and carbonated drinks, you now have an idea which kind of foods actually make you fat, and which ones can help in your goal of losing weight fast. Along with a good selection of food and healthy lifestyle, it is also important to start exercising. A lot of dieters actually know this but just try to go to the gym in order to do exercise. By just cutting out on your food and carefully selecting your food intake can help you lose weight, but if you want to have a well-toned body, exercise is also needed.

Plagarism has been considered as an unresolved problem in the academia world. The educational institutions never accepted this practice. The legal, academic, and societal consequences are quite diverse and heartbreaking. Here are some consequences of submitting plagarized research papers: Personal, being caught and convicted with plagarism is embarrassing. You lose your credibility while the experience will haunt you for long especially if this thing gets mention during job interviews. The society viewed people who copy other people’s work as fraud or phony who cannot be trusted. This will crumple your confidence and make your future a bit vague because employers many not offer you employment. In the society, plagarism does not go into newspaper headlines anymore. You get expelled and say goodbye to your career. Trust is important and copying another person’s work shows that you cannot create original composition of yourself. A legal system protects original authors from plagarism. Being dragged into plagarism may not be good for you and your career. Student caught performing plagarism may receive a verbal warning largely depending on the intensity of the plagarized work. Some would receive a failing grade. However, most students are getting expelled from the university. This expulsion status is very difficult for any one. Universities implement harsher punishment if you are caught with plagarism these days. This serious offense could be avoided if you check your work with any free plagarism checker online before submission. Reasons why universities are getting harsh with plagarism: This is unfair to the original authors who spent much time and effort making research and analyzing their work. This is betrayal to their trust that they would be given due credit on their works. This will create confusion about claiming the work and at least disappoint creative minds to write original literary works again. Plagarism definition and its concept has been rooted in a clearer term of dishonesty.

The Social Security Program began when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the 1935 Social Security Act. Originally named the Social Security Board (SSB) it only provided benefits for workers who became eligible for benefits at age 65. In 1939, Congress passed amendments to extend benefits to spouses and minor children of retired and deceased workers. Disability benefits started in 1954 and, over the next few years, it was expanded to include the families of disabled workers. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) were added in 1972. By 1975, the Social Security Trustee’s report warned that the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust Funds were in danger of being depleted by 1979. To address the problem, Congress enacted amendments that increased the payroll tax, increased the amount of income eligible for the payroll tax, and reduced benefits slightly. During the economic slowdown of the early 1980s the OASDI Trust Funds were again faced with short-term funding problems. As a result, Congress passed law that created a gradual increase over time of the Full Retirement Age (FRA) from 65 to 67. It also increased Social Security tax rates and new Social Security taxes for the wealthiest individuals. This law is still in place today.

Having been at home for the last few weeks, I had the opportunity to see a few gripping movies based on the spread of virus. Through “edge of the seat” storytelling and impartial representation of facts, the underlying messages were communicated by the movies in a very clear and effective way. This got me thinking about the power of Science Communication through storytelling. Anusheela Chatterjee, our next pathbreaker, Science Writer at TIFR, Hyderabad, works towards building a bridge between science and society through popular science articles that highlight the research being done in the institute in an accessible manner for the outside world. Anusheela talks to Shyam Krishnamurthy from The Interview Portal about deciding to combine her interests in the sciences and writing for a career in Science writing. For students, science is not just about technical work, it is also about being creative in communicating research in the context of the real world. Anusheela, tell us about your background? I grew up in Kolkata. Throughout my years in school, I had a strong interest in Biology. If I was asked what propelled me towards studying Biology, I would be unsure as to how to answer it. Perhaps, my interest in the subject was quite innate. I am sure that I was not studying it with a particular career choice in mind; it was simply the joy of learning something new and exciting. Apart from this, I did take to reading and public speaking. Regarding the former, I did not buy a lot of books but was completely dependent on two libraries. The school library was my source of books in English while a small neighbourhood library had a wealth of Bengali literature. My parents encouraged my reading habit and also insisted on variety when it came to reading. When it comes to public speaking, I participated in a number of debates- both interschool ones as well as on a national level. I continued to participate in debates in college as well. The practice of debating helped string together a coherent flow of thoughts- something that has come to good use till today. What did you do for graduation/post graduation? I took up Microbiology (Honours) in Lady Brabourne College, Kolkata. When I was in my second year of college, I came to know about Tata Institute of Fundamental Research from a senior. That interaction opened new doors, the importance of which I understand today. After completing my Bachelors degree, I went on to pursue a Masters degree in Biology from TIFR, Mumbai. What made you choose such an offbeat, unconventional and uncommon career? I wasn’t one of those students who had decided to become a science writer when in school itself! My path into this career has been influenced by multiple pivots and each have contributed to my training. My high school English teachers (Ms. Sagarika Ghosh, Ms. Rinku Gangopadhyay and Ms. Lavanya Bose) seeded an interest in writing. Dr. Aditi Nag Chaudhuri, who taught me biochemistry in college, was one of the first individuals who egged me on to push myself harder and gain a deeper understanding of the science. When I was studying in TIFR, I started volunteering with the outreach team. The science popularization and outreach activities in TIFR are spearheaded by Prof. Arnab Bhattacharya. Arnab encouraged me to give public science lectures for the ‘Chai and Why’ series. TIFR Mumbai organises two open houses, per year, on a massive scale. I also started assisting in organizing these events. In addition to the above, I became an editor on the social media ‘Chai and Why’ page. During this time, I realized that I was enjoying communicating science more than being actively involved in benchwork. Meanwhile, I was writing non-scientific articles on a personal blog. These articles were mostly observational in nature. When I decided to pursue a career in science writing, Arnab suggested that I start a science blog, which will give me some practice as well as contribute to my portfolio. The research training in TIFR equipped me with skills to understand the science, and the science outreach experience provided deep insights into communicating in an accessible manner. Tell us about your career path? When I was pursuing my Masters degree, I was trying to understand what factors were responsible for maintaining a certain density of mitochondria along a neuronal process. In hindsight, I can compare my research experience to an act of solving a mystery. I knew some facts, was aware of a plethora of possibilities, and had quite a few tools at my disposal to tinker with mitochondria in the neurons (I used C. elegans, a tiny worm which grows to a maximum length of about 1 mm, as a model system). This entire exercise taught me how to interpret a particular result, while keeping in mind the strengths and limitations of the experimental approach. Now, there was a point when I realised that I could translate the same skills to writing. When I write an article about a given topic, my approach remains quite similar sans the experimental part, of course. I give utmost importance to covering the basics. Also, my training helped highlight the flow of thought while cruising from observations, to the inferences and finally the concluding statements. Is there any other interpretation of the experimental observations? This prevents me from going down that spiral wherein the article is more of a puff piece. I always make it a point to mention the limitations along with the strengths. Overselling the science is a BIG no-no. While I was taking baby steps in learning the art of science writing, my volunteering experience with the TIFR science outreach team was a crash course in handling public engagement activities. It was sometime during the middle of my Masters course that I decided to combine both my interests in the sciences and writing. I started considering science writing as a career option. At the same time, I was quite aware of the realities of the job opportunities in this field. Initially, I had planned to take up a content writing job that would help financially sustain myself and I could develop my science blog simultaneously. However, things turned out to be quite different. How did you get your first break? Towards the end of my Masters degree, two wonderful opportunities came by. TIFR Hyderabad was looking for a science writer while NCBS Bangalore had advertised a position for a ‘news coordinator’. I applied and got job offers from both places. Upon completion of my Masters degree, I decided to join TIFR Hyderabad. It was a new institute and I was entrusted with the responsibility of helming its science communication and public engagement activities. I must admit that this has been the most rewarding learning experience till date. What were the challenges? How did you address them? Challenge 1: One of the biggest challenges that I have faced is the fear of not knowing or doing enough. While I have mostly learnt on the job, I also constantly seek out opportunities to train myself further. Most of these involve taking up writing assignments that put me outside my comfort zone. For example, I have been writing more about research in fundamental physics and chemistry. Challenge 2: My work entails a constant monitoring of multiple official social media handles of the institute. While I do advocate for a creative use of social media as a tool to engage people with your science, sometimes it may get a little overwhelming. I have come up with ways to not get distracted by the hundreds of notifications. I follow a schedule wherein a couple of hours per day are completely dedicated for social media work. However, I do run a frequent periodic check for urgent queries on social media. Where do you work now? At present, I work at TIFR Hyderabad as the science writer. I am also the Programme Head of the Science Media Centre. My position packs in a quite a few interesting responsibilities. – Writing popular science articles that highlight the research being done in the institute. – Setting up a science media centre. – Curating the official social media accounts of the institute. – Organising activities and workshops aimed at building the science communication skills of graduate students in Hyderabad. I have also brought out a newsletter that encourages students to pen down their science stories. – Organising public engagement activities such as a Science Café called ‘Sawaal-Jawaab – Conversations on Science’. I have been focused on regularising these sessions and increasing our reach among the public. – Compilation of all official reports regarding the scientific progress in the institute. – Handling press relations and coordinating all recent science news – Creating scientific illustrations for posters. – Developing content for the website. I also attend conferences and workshops as an official science reporter. One of the memorable stints was at an EMBO-EMBL symposia on microtubules. This was the first instance that gave me an experience in science communication on an international scale. The primary skills that I require are that of writing and organization. The latter is very crucial when it comes to scaling up the science communication activities in the institute. I have always asked for help when attempting large-scale projects. Fortunately enough, I have always received the full cooperation and support of TIFRH members. It is important to realise the need to rope in researchers, educators, artists and IT experts when embarking on a new project. This brings together the expertise of multiple individuals yielding more fruitful results. There are two things that I am very thankful for- first, I have a lot of independence; second, I wake up in the morning and look forward to going to work. How does your work benefit the society? My efforts are directed towards building a bridge between science and society. These initiatives include two-way modes of communication, thus giving an opportunity to get feedback from the people. This feedback will help improve the community outreach initiatives. Tell us an example of a specific memorable work you did that is very close to you! In 2018, I initiated an ‘Art and Science Dialogue’ with the Department of Fine Arts from University of Hyderabad. Graduate students from TIFR Hyderabad teamed up with the artists and came up with an art exhibit that was inspired by research. The success of that event gave me the confidence to go ahead with more projects. Your advice to students based on your experience? If you are interested in pursuing science writing, it would be helpful to start writing. You can start with a personal blog and then move on to writing for online science news portals. One can improve their skills by writing more, acquiring constructive feedback and incorporating that feedback into future writing. Not only does this help build a portfolio, it also gives you sufficient practice. Please do not resort to a career in science communication as a consequence of not wanting to do research. Careers in science communication require very specific skill sets. Future Plans? At this point, I am trying to set up the science media centre of the institute. I am also focusing my efforts on bettering my craft by taking up more challenging writing assignments.

There is an increasing trend of skiers looking for and buying ski tickets well ahead of an upcoming season. Our recent pre-season reports show that there is significant demand during spring/summer for next season, and some skiers are even purchasing tickets now for next winter. While you may believe the revenue opportunity is insignificant, a recent analysis shows that resorts earn a notable percentage of their total revenue for the season before the lifts start spinning. To perform this analysis, we calculated the amount of revenue booked before opening day (we call this “RBOD” at Liftopia, catchy right?) for each of our resort partners. We identified a partner’s opening date as the first trip date for which revenue was booked. Revenue earned on or a partner’s website from Cloud Store were both included in this analysis. In the 2018-19 season, the average resort on the Liftopia platform earned 5.6% of its total date-specific ticket revenue before its opening day, with some resorts earning as much as 18%. Additionally, the average amount of pre-season revenue earned for each resort increased 45% over last year’s average, a trend that indicates growing interest in buying dated tickets well before the season begins. The resorts who earned the most pre-season revenue capitalized on this interest by offering lift tickets online months before they were scheduled to open, as early as June. By offering tickets online earlier, your resort can also capitalize on this revenue opportunity. Skiers will be able to browse and book at your resort, locking in revenue well ahead of the season. If you’d like a few suggestions on pricing strategies that work to drive early bookings, please check out this post, or contact us at

Seemingly every concept he explores turns not only to gold, but also platinum, from fine dining enterprises (his flagship Union Square Café), to museum-based destinations (The Modern, Untitled) to fast food burgers (Shake Shack). He’s even managed to carve a niche for himself when it comes to NY’s signature, broadly available foodstuff, pizza, by masterminding Marta in the Redbury’s NoMad hotel, a haven of Roman, thin-crusted pies gorgeously executed by longtime chef, Nick Anderer. And in the most recent example of his admirable ability to effectively scale his businesses, he just debuted Martina in the East Village, which aims to take the city’s ultimate common-man food (which was gourmetized and sanitized by spots like his own Marta), and bring it back down to size. Instead of table service, customers order from a counter a la Shake Shack, and await their food by way of a buzzer, with menu items topping out at $12 each (unless you’re referring to the contents of a champagne cooler, stocked with half bottles of Laherte Freres, and Krug Grande Cuvee). Italian snacks include Tomato Arancini, Chicken Polpettine and White Beans with black pepper and sage (available ready-to-eat while you wait), while a section urges patrons to eat their verdure; namely, a “Martina Mista” of mixed greens, artichokes, pickled peppers and olives, and Zucchine in Scapece; squash tossed with vinegar, chiles and mint. Then there are the Neapolitan pizzas, formed into individually-sized (4-slice, 10-inch), irregularly-shaped, thin-crusted pies, with toppings such as four-cheese, pork sausage, salami picante and mushrooms, as well as an Capricciosa, finished with a sunny side up egg, and baby pink curls of ham. And while the entire process takes scarcely two minutes (the kitchen expects to work its way to pushing out 90 pies an hour), perennially on-the-go New Yorkers may well elect to avail themselves of takeout, thanks to custom boxes that vent the perfect amount of steam; keeping the pizza hot, without getting soggy. Even when it comes to omnipresent pizza, Danny Meyer and team always have something new to offer to the hospitality scene.

Plastic mold, an abbreviation for a combined plastic mold for compression molding, extrusion molding, injection, blow molding and low foam molding. Plastic mold factory can divide the mold into large nozzle mold, fine nozzle mold and hot runner mold according to the different pouring system. The plastic mold structure contains six major systems, namely pouring system, forming system, ejection system and forming structure, exhaust system, cooling system and positioning and navigation system In real life, many plastic life products require plastic molds for mass production, so plastic molds play a very important role in industrial manufacturing, so how to extend the service life of plastic molds as much as possible to maximize It is particularly important to bring its value into play, and effective maintenance of plastic molds is a very necessary step. So how to maintain plastic molds? 1.When the operation requires temporary shutdown, the mold should be closed to prevent the cavity and core from being exposed to prevent accidental damage.The shutdown time is expected to exceed 24 hours, and the surface of the cavity and core should be sprayed with anti-rust oil Or release agent, especially in wet areas and rainy seasons, even if the time is short, anti-rust treatment should be done. Water vapor in the air will reduce the surface quality of the mold cavity and the surface quality of the product. When the mold is used again, the oil on the mold should be removed, and it can be used after it is cleaned. The compressed air that is required by the mirror surface is dried and then dried with hot air, otherwise it will ooze out during molding and cause defects in the product. 2. Turn on the machine after a temporary shutdown. After opening the mold, check whether the slider limit moves. If there is no abnormality, the mold can be closed. In short, you must be careful before turning on the machine, and you should not be careless. 3. In order to prolong the service life of the cooling water channel, when the mold is stopped, the water in the cooling water channel should be removed immediately with compressed air, put a small amount of engine oil into the mouth of the nozzle, and then blown with compressed air, so that all cooling pipes have a layer Anti-rust oil layer. (Private letter to receive more learning materials) 4. Carefully check the working status of each control component during work to prevent abnormalities in the auxiliary system, heating, and maintenance of the control system are particularly important for hot runner molds. At the end of each production cycle, bar heaters, band heaters, thermocouples should be measured with European mothers, and compared with the technical specifications of the mold to ensure that their functions are intact. At the same time, the control loop may pass the ammeter test installed in the loop. The oil in the hydraulic cylinder used for core pulling should be drained as far as possible, and the oil nozzle should be sealed to prevent the hydraulic oil from leaking or polluting the surrounding environment during the storage and transportation process. (Private letter to receive more learning materials) 5. During the production, if you hear abnormal sounds or other abnormal conditions in the mold, you should stop the machine and check it immediately. The mold maintenance personnel should conduct a round-trip inspection on the molds that are running normally in the workshop. If any abnormal phenomena are found, they should be dealt with in time. 6. When the operator takes over the shift, in addition to the handover of production, the process is critical to close the record, and the mold use status must also be explained in detail. 7. When the production quantity of the mold is completed and the machine needs to be replaced to replace other molds, the mold cavity should be coated with rust inhibitor, the mold and its accessories should be sent to the mold maintenance staff, and the last product that is qualified as a sample The pieces are sent to the maintenance staff together. In addition, a mold use list should also be submitted, detailing on which machine tool the mold is on, from a certain year, month and day, how many products have been produced, and whether the mold is now good. If there is a problem with the mold, fill in the use sheet with any problems with the mold, propose specific requirements for modification and improvement, and submit an unprocessed sample to the custodian for the molder to refer to when repairing the mold. (Private letter to receive more learning materials) 8. After the machine is shut down, it is necessary to check whether there is residual rubber thread and foreign objects on the surface of the mold. After cleaning it, spray the rust inhibitor evenly and fill in the relevant records accurately. After the mold is opened, the molded plastic needs to be retained on the half-mold. Of course, this is under the premise that there is an ejection mechanism. Generally, the half-mold of the ejection mechanism is a moving mold. Only the half-mold of the ejection mechanism that appears in very special cases On the fixed mold. Plastic mold is a key tool for injection production in the workshop of the enterprise, and it is the rice bowl of the enterprise. His position in the enterprise is important, but at the same time, the plastic mold has specialty, precision and vulnerability, so it is very important for the safe maintenance of the plastic mold. important.

The CEVIS (Cycle Ergometer with Vibration Isolation and Stabilization System) is a recumbent bicycle which provides aerobic exercise and is intended as a countermeasure for the harmful physiological effects of exposure to microgravity that are anticipated during stays on the ISS. The CEVIS ergometer is utilized as part of the crewmembers weekly exercise schedule. It is designed for use as a component of the Crew Health Care System (CHeCS) and Human Research Facility (HRF) on the ISS. CEVIS also has the capability to support ISS science activities, pre-breathe extravehicular activities (EVA), periodic fitness evaluations (PFE), and pre-landing fitness evaluations. DESCRIPTION CEVIS provides aerobic and cardiovascular conditioning through cycling activities on the ISS. CEVIS also has the capability to support ISS science experiments, pre-breathe EVA s, PFEs, and pre-landing fitness evaluations. CEVIS is operated in the US Lab on the ISS and usage depends on crewmember exercise preference and weekly usage varies from 2-7 times for 30-90 minutes per session per crewmember. CEVIS is a modified version of the Shuttle Inertial Vibration Isolation and Stabilization (IVIS) Cycle Ergometer with the principal difference being the addition of an electronic control system. CEVIS is computer controlled and maintains a very accurate workload independent of the pedaling speed of the crewmember. View CEVIS Specifications LAUNCH HISTORY The first CEVIS unit was launched to ISS on Space Shuttle Discovery STS-102 in 2001 and a unit have been functional on the International Space Station ever since. A contingency controller for CEVIS was launched on a Progress vehicle in 2004. The initial CEVIS unit was replaced in orbit in 2006 when a new was launched on Space Shuttle Discovery STS-126 and the old one brought down. In 2007 another unit was launched on Endeavour STS-118. A new modernized control panel for CEVIS was launch in 2009 on Discovery STS-119.

My journey in treating oral issues with homeopathy started with the discovery of cavities, repeated painful abscess and subsequent tooth extraction in my young son. The extraction happened without warning in the dental office and we were left reeling. My son went into shock and was traumatised, as was I. Needless to say I moved our family to a more holistic dentist and I started reading and researching everything I could on healing oral issues and remineralising teeth using homeopathic remedies and tissue salts. Book now Over the years I have seen many patients young and old with a variety of oral issues. ^ Pain after dental work and brace adjustment. ^ Crumbling or decayed baby teeth. ^ Repeated abscess ^ Teeth grinding (bruxism) in anxious patients. ^ Hairline fractures in teeth after injury. ^ Multiple cavities. ^ Hypoplasia. ^ Enlarged tonsils and recurrent tonsillitis. ^ Teething babies. ^ Mouth breathing. ^ Delayed dentition. ^ Plaque build up. A localised manifestation of disease in the mouth cannot be taken as a symptom in isolation. Thus the whole person must be taken into account and consideration be given for the physical state and health of the patient. Often as oral health improves so do other areas of complaint. Homeopathy is great for people looking for a more natural approach to dentistry and oral health. Over time I was able to help remineralize my son’s teeth which are now strong and healthy. He no longer suffers with abscess and his teeth come out when they are supposed to! Regular holistic dentistry combined with remedies, a clean diet and excellent dental hygiene all contribute to the strength and health of your teeth. My daughter’s markings on her teeth seem completely gone – and no pain whatsoever! Could I daresay they are healed? My husband reported straight away that the pain was gone. I have to report back that no infection or abscess has occurred and my perception is that when I clean underneath the gum there seems to be less space. My son is reporting the dark lines on his teeth are nearly gone. The abscess are gone and have not returned. We also avoided an extraction! His teeth are now strong and healthy. The cavity has reduced in size and is a faint brown now. Whereas before it was deep and black.

Many homeowners today understand the importance of making necessary changes or upgrades to enjoy the benefits of an energy-efficient home. If you are planning to build a new house or undertake a major renovation project, incorporating several energy-efficient features can significantly improve long-term savings and comfort. Even certain habits followed by family members can help promote power efficiency. Additionally, it’ll ensure that you have a sustainable house that’s also environmentally friendly. As energy costs continue to rise, it may be time to find ways to save energy. Proper planning for a home upgrade will assist you in saving money on your monthly energy bills. If you want an energy-efficient home, here are seven effective tips to help you out when building or remodeling it. x Invest in Solar System Installing renewable energy sources such as solar panels is one of the important considerations for a power-efficient home. The solar market has expanded significantly over the years. There are several benefits of installing a solar system at home. Moreover, their versatility makes them suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. If your area has abundant sunlight throughout the year, switching to solar may be the best way to make your home energy efficient. It’s one of the most cost-effective forms of renewable energy for residential use. x Also Read: Solar Patio vs. Rooftop Panels: Which One is Better? When you have solar panels in place, it’ll significantly reduce your energy bills every month. Generally, the best aspect of a solar panel system is that it doesn’t require comprehensive maintenance. Consider it a one-time investment, but it’ll save you time and ensure your home is self-sufficient even if power outages occur when you least expect them. x Image: tesla Another advantage of solar panels is that they’re environmentally friendly. The system works by converting solar energy into electrical energy. The procedure aids in the reduction of harmful greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Once you have a solar system, you can utilize the energy for a variety of purposes, including lighting, heating, cooling, and powering almost any appliance. If you’re looking for a reliable renewable energy source for your home, consider checking out reliable solar energy providers in your area and online to ensure a good start. x Improve Your Property’s Landscaping For energy-efficient home improvements, you might want to ameliorate your landscaping. The right landscaping that maximizes shade can significantly help minimize the heat your home absorbs, especially during the summer. Doing so can reduce the temperature to a certain degree effectively. Depending on where you live, look for trees that can provide adequate shade, particularly those with large canopies. Also Read: 6 Awesome Ways to Bring Your Garden to Life Using Trees Deciduous trees work best in blocking out the excessive heat during summers while allowing the sunlight to permeate through your home during the cold season. These trees are ideal because they bloom in the spring and summer and shed their leaves as winter approaches. Image: john davies landscape design The location where you’ll plant the trees is also an important consideration. One way to ensure your home will not soak up excessive heat is to consider the sun’s position as it moves throughout the day. The best way to reduce unnecessary heat absorption is to plant trees on your home’s south, east, and west sides. As the sun goes on its course, the location of these trees will offer shadows preventing direct heat from entering your home. In the long run, it greatly reduces your energy bills because the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in your home don’t have to strain to keep the temperatures down. Also Read: Five Best Green Upgrades to Boost the Value of Your Home Plan for Proper Ventilation Careful planning of the ventilation system is essential if you want to keep the home energy efficient. A well-structured system can ensure comfort all year round while helping save power by preventing the overuse of electrical appliances for cooling or heating purposes. A dependable ventilation system can also keep contaminated air out of your home. Image: realtor The windows in your home are a good place to start. If you currently have small-sized windows, it may be time to upgrade them into bigger ones to ensure good ventilation in your home if your budget allows. If upgrading the windows isn’t a viable option right now, you can work with portable fans or install ceiling fans throughout your home to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. Also Read: 11 Stylish Window Designs for Home Always remember that ventilation plays a crucial role in an energy-saving design. The ideal ventilation system effectively moves air and moisture throughout your home to minimize excessive heat and ensure comfortable temperatures all year while reducing overall energy consumption. Install Energy-Efficient HVAC System In most homes, the HVAC accounts for a large amount of energy consumption every month. Generally, it’s one of the systems in any home that consumes a large amount of energy. If you want to reduce this consumption, upgrading to a proficient system is a good idea. It will help lessen your monthly usage and utility bills. Image: rheem When the HVAC system in your home is already out-of-date, look for an energy-efficient improvement. Although you’ll need to spend money on new upgrades, consider it a worthwhile investment that’ll keep your home comfortable all year while saving you money. A notable upgrade is a heat pump to reduce power consumption for heating purposes. As for the cooling unit, you may be able to find energy-efficient models on the market. One of the essential considerations to keep in mind is the energy efficiency ratios and seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) ratings. Don’t forget to choose a model with smart features to boost your monthly savings even further. Replace Outdated Lighting Fixtures Every home has exterior and interior lighting systems that use a lot of energy because of some outdated fixtures. When you have old light fixtures or bulbs, consider giving them an upgrade. You can choose a light emitting diode (LED) or fluorescent bulbs to help conserve energy since they produce more light but with minimal heat. Although LEDs are more expensive, they’re worthwhile investments in the long run and can be used with most light fittings. Image: buell electric Also Read: Benefits of Energy Efficient Lighting for Home Aside from upgrading the light fixtures and bulbs in your home, there are also other ways to reduce the energy your lighting system consumes. Opening windows or replacing them with larger ones will allow more natural light to filter in. It will reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. Upgrade Roofing Material Your choice of roofing material will play a role in the overall energy productivity of your home. Your roof’s material can absorb less heat by deflecting the sun’s rays to keep the temperature in your home uniform and comfortable all year round. Therefore, when choosing a suitable roofing material, you must factor in its energy competence. Although installing an energy-efficient roof will require a significant investment, it can help lessen your utility bills over time. Image: long home products Some energy-efficient roofing materials worth considering are metal, tile, and asphalt. Metal roofing may be one of the ideal options since it’s the most energy-efficient while boasting a high level of durability that allows it to last for a long time with minimal maintenance. Metal is a highly reflective material, which is why it warms up quickly. Meanwhile, most of the sun’s energy bounces back off this material, indicating a high solar reflectance index (SRI). Also Read: Best Energy-Efficient Earth Sheltered Homes The SRI of roofing material is its ability to reject solar heat and release any heat it absorbs. The higher the SRI rating, the better the roof’s energy efficiency. You can order a metal roof with special coatings if you want an even higher efficiency rating. Tile roofing is also an effective option, especially in clay, slate, or concrete. Tile roofing can undergo various treatments to boost its capability to reflect heat. You also have the option to have them treated with reflective coating after the installation. Asphalt shingles nowadays are energy-efficient with advancements in roofing technology. The latest asphalt shingles on the market boast solar-reflective granules that increase the SRI rating while prolonging the roof’s life span. Switch to Smart Devices Image: safewise As more homeowners become aware of the advantages of an energy-saving home, there has been a steady demand for smart solutions. Generally, they have functions or settings that allow minimum energy consumption compared to regular appliances, helping cut down on your monthly power bill. Transitioning to a green home will necessitate the installation of several smart home devices to reap long-term savings. Also Read: Reasons You Should Adopt Smart Home Trends Depending on your specific requirements, consider checking out smart thermostats, smart lighting, smart climate control, and even smart kitchen appliances, to name a few. For example, a smart thermostat will automatically adjust the temperature in your home based on daily habits to reduce power consumption. An environmentally-friendly home’s ultimate goal is to reduce daily energy consumption significantly. You can create an energy-saving home with the help of these helpful hints and several energy-saving habits, such as turning off lights or appliances when not in use. Although the process will require an investment, particularly if you’re building a new home or performing a major renovation, it’s worthwhile in the long run. It allows you to save money and energy, minimize your carbon footprint, and maintain comfort in your home all year round.

Layered silicate minerals are made of two types of structural units (octahedral and tetrahedral sheets). The tetrahedral sheets consist of individual tetrahedrons which share three out of four oxygens. They arranged in a hexagonal pattern with the basal oxygens linked and the apical oxygens (the unpaired oxygen in a tetrahedral sheet) pointing up/down. The resultant sheet composition is T2 O5 where T is the common tetrahedral cations of Si, Al and sometimes Fe3+. The basic unit of tetrahedral sheet is a silicon atom, surrounded by four oxygen atoms forming a tetrahedron, as shown in Figure 2.3. The tetrahedra are then linked in two dimensions to form a sheet of hexagonal rings. There is also an octahedron of aluminium surrounded by oxygen atoms, and the octahedra link to form a more closely packed two dimensional sheet. While, Octahedral sheets consist of individual octahedrons that share edges composed of oxygen and hydroxyl anion groups with Al, Mg, Fe3+ and Fe2+ typically serving as the coordinating cation. These octahedrons too, are arranged in a hexagonal pattern. The non-swelling family consist of alumina octahedra sitting on top of a sheet of tetrahedral silica, forming a dioctahedral (hence the name 1:1 family). It consists of very thin layers that are bound together with counter-ions. The basic building blocks of layered silicate are tetrahedral sheets in which silicon is surrounded by four oxygen atoms, and octahedral sheets in which a metal like aluminum is surrounded by eight oxygen atoms. Therefore, in 1:1 layered structures a tetrahedral sheet is fused with an octahedral sheet, whereby the oxygen atoms are shared (Miranda-Trevino and Coles, 2003). The apical oxygen atoms from silica are shared with the aluminium atoms of the upper layer. While, the swelling clay family composes of two sheets of silica to one of 17 alumina (parent compound is the pyrophyllite) or two sheets of silica to one of magnesium oxide (hence the name 2:1 family). See Figure 2.4. Figure 2.3: Basic structural units of layered silicate minerals(Samakande, 2008). Generally, layered silicates that are used in the preparation of PLSNs belong to the 2:1 family. In this 2:1 family, saponite and montmorillonite have been most investigated as host materials in the intercalation because of their swelling behavior and ion exchange properties (Ogawa and Kuroda, 1997). A regular gap between the layered silicate layers due to the stacking of the layers are called the interlayer distance. Naturally, occurrence of isomorphic substitution within the layers (example Al3+ replaced by Mg2+ or Fe2+, or Mg2+ replaced by Li+) generates negative charges that are counterbalanced by hydrated alkali and alkaline earth cations situated inside the clay galleries. The resulting negative charges are counterbalanced by cations (e.g. Na+, K+ or Ca2+) residing in the interlayer spaces. The forces that hold the stacks together are relatively weak, resulting in easy intercalation of small hydrophilic molecules between 18 the layers. At this point the layered silicate is only miscible with hydrophilic species, e.g. water-soluble polymers such as polyethylene oxide. In order to improve miscibility with hydrophobic species it is necessary to convert the hydrophilic silicate surfaces to organophilic surfaces. Modification of the clay surfaces also increases the distance between adjacent layered silicate platelets and thus more room for larger foreign species to penetrate (Fischer, 2003b). Figure 2.4 Structure of 2:1 layered silicate (Pavlidou and Papaspyrides, 2008) 19 Figure 2.5 Sheet-like structures of clays Furthermore, the commonly used layered silicates for the synthesis of PLSN belongs to the same general family of 2:1 layered or phyllosilicates. Their crystal lattice of 2:1 layered silicates, consists of two-dimensional layers where a central octahedral sheet of alumina is fused to two external silica tetrahedra by the tip, so that the oxygen ions of the octahedral sheet also belong to the tetrahedral sheets, as shown before in Figure 2.4. Depending on the particulate silicate, source of the clay and the preparation method, the thickness of the layer is around 1nm and the lateral dimensions may vary from 300A° to several microns. Therefore, the aspect ratio of these layers (ratio length/thickness) is particularly high, with values greater than 1000 (Beyer, 2002; Mcnally et al., 2003; Solomon et al., 2001). This type of layered silicate is characterized by a moderate surface charge known as the cation exchange capacity (CEC), and generally expressed as mequiv/100 gm. This charge is not locally constant, but varies from layer to layer, and must be considered as an average value over the whole crystal (Sinha Ray and Okamoto, 2003). Layered silicates have two types of structure: tetrahedrally substituted and octahedrally 20 substituted. In the case of tetrahedrally substituted layered silicates, the negative charge is located on the surface of silicate layers and, hence, the polymer matrices can interact more readily with the tetrahedral substituted material than with octahedrally substituted material. Generally, layered silicate minerals are divided into three major groups: a) kaolinite group b) semectite group c) illite or the mica-clay group. Among the three major groups, smectite types or more precisely montmorillonite, saponite and hectorite are the most commonly used layered silicates in the filed of polymer nanocomposite technology. Again, among montmorillonite, saponite, hectorite and montmorillonite (MMT) is the most commonly used layered silicate for the fabrication of PLSN, because it is highly abundant and inexpensive. There are two particular characteristics of layered silicates that are generally considered for PLSN. The first is the ability of the silicate particles to disperse into individual layers. The second characteristic is the ability to fine-tune their surface chemistry through ion exchange reactions with organic and inorganic cations. These two characteristics are, of course, interrelated since the degree of dispersion of layered silicate in a particular polymer matrix depends on the interlayer cation. As a result nanocomposites exhibit unique properties not shared by their micro counterparts or conventionally filled polymers. In general, it is well established that structural perfection is getting more and more nearly reached as the reinforcing elements become smaller and that the ultimate 21 properties of reinforcing composite elements may be expected if their dimensions reach atomic or molecular levels. For example, carbon nanotubes display the so far highest known values of elastic modulus. Similarly, individual clay sheets, being only 1nm thick, display a perfect crystalline structure. However, the smaller the reinforcing elements are, the larger is their internal surface and hence there is a high tendency to agglomerate rather than to disperse homogeneously in a matrix (Fischer, 2003b). In fact, the silicate layers have the tendency to organize themselves to form stacks with a regular van der Waals gap between them, which is called an “interlayer” or “gallery” (Beyer, 2002; Mcnally et al., 2003). The interlayer dimension is determined by the crystal structure of the silicate (for dehydrated Na–montmorillonite this dimension is approximately 1 nm) (Solomon et al., 2001). Analysis of layered silicates have shown that there are several levels of organization within the clay minerals. The smallest particles, primary particles, are in the order of 10 nm and are composed of stacks of parallel lamellae. Micro-aggregates are formed by lateral joining of several primary particles, and aggregates are composed of several primary particles and micro-aggregates (Ishida et al., 2000). Basically, layered silicates cannot be a filler to form PLSN through a physical mixture of a polymer and layered silicate. Similar to polymer blends, this physical mixture leads to the formation of discrete phase. In creating PLSN, an immescible system needs to be avoided, which corresponds to conventionally filled polymers. This system favours poor physical interaction between the organic and inorganic components and results in poor mechanical and thermal properties. So, good interaction between the organic and inorganic phases is needed, where these phases are being dispersed at the nanometer level. In order to create this interaction and make it into a miscible system, 22 organic modification needs to be done by exchanging the alkali counter-ions with a cationic-organic surfactant, as shown in Figure 2.6. Where, the inorganic, relatively small (sodium) ions are exchanged with larger organic onium cations. This modification reaction has two consequences: firstly, the gap between the single sheets is widened, enabling polymer chains to move in between them and secondly, the surface properties of each single sheet changed from being hydrophilic silicate surface to an organophilic one, making the intercalation of many polymers possible. Generally, this can be done by layered silicate modification in which can be achieved by any of the four processes detailed below.

Three arrested after drug raid turns up meth lab, fentanyl in Mississippi house. - Magnolia State Live | Magnolia State Live Donate Home News Politics Sports Culture Three arrested after drug raid turns up meth lab, fentanyl in Mississippi house. Published 6:00 am Wednesday, August 10, 2022 By Magnolia State Live An early morning raid on Tuesday at a home in the 100 block of Clear Creek Drive in the Bovina community resulted in the seizure of methamphetamine lab components and fentanyl and the arrest of three people, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said. Arrested were Richard Anthony Jordan “A.J.” Courtier, 32, and Glenda Courtier, 73. Richard Courtier faces charges of manufacturing and possession of fentanyl. Glenda Courtier faces a charge of hindering prosecution. Both are being held without bond in the Warren County Jail pending an initial appearance in Justice Court Wednesday. Richard Courtier also has an outstanding felony warrant from Louisiana. Subscribe to our free email newsletter Get the latest news sent to your inbox Pace said deputies arrested another woman in the home on misdemeanor warrants from the Vicksburg Police Department and she was turned over to police. Pace said multiple sheriff’s deputies, accompanied by a Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agent, served a search warrant on the home at about 7 a.m. Tuesday. Inside, the officers found the components for a meth lab, a small amount of the finished product, a small amount of liquid fentanyl and the powder used to make counterfeit narcotic painkillers like Lortab and Narco. “This is the subject of a lot of conversation throughout the country,” Pace said. “Fentanyl is responsible for numerous overdoses, including many right here in our community.” The sheriff said Deputy Chief Trey Martin with the Vicksburg Fire Department provided an ambulance to be on standby “less than a minute away” from where the raid was conducted. “We anticipated the fentanyl being there,” he said. “Contact with fentanyl, whether on the skin or inhalation, can be almost immediately fatal. We knew we were going into a hot environment and wanted the medics to be as close as possible, so the Vicksburg Fire Department provided the ambulance with the medics. “We briefed them on what we were doing and were on standby and stood by for the duration of our search,” he added. “It was just a good cooperative effort between the sheriff’s department, the Vicksburg Fire Department and MBN.” Pace said fentanyl “is the most dangerous drug we have,” because incidental contact can be fatal. “We were all wearing masks and gloves when we entered the home and made the arrest and conducted the search, but even with that precaution, we wanted medics on standby,” he said, adding all his deputies carry Narcan, which can reverse the effects of fentanyl.

At 43, I never thought that I’ll be singing ABCs, reciting 123s, and wondering what all those twinkling stars are doing tonight. But here I am doing nursery whatnots 13 years after my youngest son was born. I was already on teen mode. I am way past the sleep-deprived mommy phase of the baby years when you can’t get four straight hours of sleep because your little one is hungry—again. Today, my kids would eat just about anything. And fortunately for me, they know their way around the kitchen. No need for mommy to get up early in the morning to make breakfast. I am past all the angst and agony of separation anxiety when your preschooler grabs your knee every time you step out the door. Today, my kids are all too happy when I have to go out of town. If I’m gone for just two days in fact, they’d even ask, “Back so soon?” Those rascals! I am past the stage where I worry about meeting development milestones, height averages, and weight standards. Today, my kids are healthy and strong. And my boys are all taller than me—which doesn’t mean I can’t raise my voice and stand my ground when they don’t come home on time or they don’t wash the dishes when it’s their turn. And so, when I became a grandmother at 41, I had this very scary nightmare that I’d have to go through all those things again. I actually lost sleep thinking I might not get enough sleep—again. I needn’t have worried. My daughter is a good mother, and she’s an even better daughter because she didn’t ask her mother to do the mothering for her. What I like best about being a Lula at 43 is that I get to do the fun part of mothering. Sophie and I eat ice cream, sing with Barney, and dance to Sheryl Crow. In the mornings, she greets me with a big fat kiss. In the afternoons, we cuddle up on the couch, watching Mickey Mouse. In the evenings, we play ball under the moonlight. I have so many other things that I want to do with her, so many things I want to teach her. I can’t wait!

Marcin Rybiński, Creative Director of Anshar Studios, proves that work and persistence allow you to achieve success! During Focon, he will talk about the latest project of the studio, i.e. the Gamedec game based on the works of Marcin Przybyłek. His story begins in 2007 when he started his professional career. At that time, he was still involved in conducting trainings in the field of MS Office, VBA and the Adobe graphics package. After two years (fortunately for us!) however, he stated that it was creating computer games that was his calling and that he would like to associate his future with. From 2009, he started working in gamedev and created several smaller titles such as: “Pirate Jack”, “Crypt Hunter” and “Winnie the Race”, but at the end of 2010 he decided to try his hand at creating larger productions. It was then that he started working for the Katowice branch of City Interactive as a Level Designer. His work was appreciated and with time he took the position of Lead Designer. At that time, he was involved in games such as “Dogfight 1942” and “Cobat Wings”. In 2012, he started working at Anshar Studios as a Lead Designer. He participated in the creation of games such as “Kate Malone: ​​Hidden Object Detective” and “Artifex Mundi Detached”. Marcin has had the opportunity to share his knowledge many times during the classes on “Creating games for mobile devices”, which he conducts at the University of Economics in Katowice, as well as with students at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice as part of the ZIP-Become an Engineer of the Future project. He spends his free time playing both computer and board games. He is also an avid modeller. Currently, Marcin Rybiński at Anshar Studio is the Creative Director of the Gamedec project – a game based on a series of books of the same title by Marcin Przybyłek. The game has achieved success during the Kickstarter campaign and has already been awarded several times … and has yet to be released! During the meeting with Marcin Rybiński and Marcin Przybyłek, the creators of Gamedec will tell you about its creation and show you what you can expect in the final version. That is why we cordially invite everyone who is waiting for this futuristic, virtual world of puzzles.

I do offer mini-sessions but they probably aren't like the mini-sessions you're thinking of. I don't have a holiday backdrop and you don't come to my place for a 10 minute session. Instead, I do offer, in the weeks leading up to the holidays a deal. $100 for a twenty-minute session at your place (or a location of your choosing) with 3 edited digital images and fast turn around (within 4 days). We can shoot in front of your own Christmas tree or other holiday decor. We can go to your favorite park or garden. Whatever you prefer. Can we do a couple of posed shots for the grandparents during our lifestyle session? Of course. I tend to try to get these out of the way at the top of the shoot, since if you're hiring me, you probably aren't all that into posing - and honestly - I'm not all that into posing you either (haha). But sometimes we need a little warm up first too. Either way, posing will be fast and as painless as possible. And sometimes it happens organically and you don't even see it coming. Those are my favorite "posed" shots. What should my family and I wear for our documentary-style session? You are welcome to wear whatever you'd like, but I do advise people to dress in a way that will be comfortable for them. If you're a t-shirt and jeans kind of family do that. I want you in as close to your natural state as makes you comfortable. Also consider location and context. These sessions are not tightly posed, they are loose and casual and we may take a walk up a steep street or run around in the sand on the beach. When can I expect my photos? 4-6 weeks, but it really depends on how busy I am. I do try to get images done in as timely a fashion as possible. That said, if you are in need of fast turn-around, please let me know and we can usually work something out. What's up with editing/color correcting? I only send out edited photos, as a rule. I do all my own editing and color correcting and I have cultivated my own style over the years and wish for my images to be recognizable as mine. I will usually send out a mix of color and black and white photos, unless you request otherwise ahead of time. When I do make the decision to convert to black and white, it's for a reason. BUT if you absolutely must have a black and white image in color, I will definitely grant that request. Can I get all the images you shot? Typically, I will go through and pick what I deem the best of the best images from what I shot. If you wish to see alternative versions of the chosen shots I am willing to send a contact sheet of selected images. If you decide you want a large number of edited images (more than is included in your package) or ALL the images, I do charge an extra $50 to $200 (depending on the number of images) for that. Editing a large number of images takes time, so a wait of two or three weeks for all the images should be expected. How do you send the images? To your email address via a Wetransfer link. How many edited images will I receive? That depends on your package. Basic family sessions typically get about 10 edited images. Mini-sessions get around 5. Events depend on the length of the event. How and when do I pay you? I accept cash, check, or venmo. I accept payment by the day of the shoot, unless you are booking an event longer than 2 hrs in which case I do require a $100 non-refundable deposit at booking via venmo. How do I book you to shoot my comedy show or other live performance? Email me! I love shooting comedy, music and dance. It's my passion. I tend to charge $35-$50 for comedy shows depending on location and day of the week.

Spring has arrived here in our lovely area and you can feel everyone breathing a little lighter. It’s been a hard year – there’s no other way to say it. Just the other weekend I was speaking with some friends and they were commenting on how tired they are feeling these days. The reality is, we have been living in a very different emotional and mental state than what we have become accustomed to. Our internal systems are bound to be tired. We have been on a sort of “high alert” for over a year now, and there’s still a long way to go. Our bodies are not used to this and I find as a parent, we are doing our best to protect our children from too much stress and trying to make things “normal” when there’s nothing really normal anymore. Our bodies and minds need a break; a reset…maybe a bath . As a child I took a bath all the time. Showers started most likely in junior high – it’s hard to remember where the switch happened. It’s the same for my kids these days – the boys are getting older now and have more activities that require cleaning up afterwards. The shower seems to be the quicker solution for them. But if I fill the tub and they hop in…they are in there for a long time and always say they feel so much better afterwards. In our Kindermusik classes, we talk to parents a lot about making time for relaxation as part of their daily routine. We know how important it is for a child to learn to regulate – to be able to take a deep breath, relax, and let the brain catch up to all the wonderful things we do not only in our classes, but all day long. That’s why in most of our classes we take about 1-2 minutes and have a “music bath”. We don’t always call it that, but that is essentially what we are doing: lying down with the lights out, snuggling with our littles, and letting the music selection featured roll over our bodies, into our ears and through our souls. I wish you could all be there to experience the beauty. When I first started teaching Kindermusik, I found “Quiet Time”, or this music bath concept, the hardest part of the lesson to facilitate. I was an eager 25-year-old with so much energy. Taking a moment in class to stop everything, turn down the lights and listen to music seemed awkward to me. But I wasn’t full in tune with my body then, or the positive effects that this had for not only the children, but also the caregivers and myself. Now, as a mother of three kids and a busy life, I look forward to every single quiet time I can find?. And I feel so fortunate to be able to witness this special time with so many families. It is such a cherished time in our classes that as soon as an educator goes for the light switch, the children all lay down, and snuggle in with their special someone. They need it. We need it. YOU need it. Regardless of what age and stage you are at with your life, I promise you, you need a music bath. It’s simple, takes only 1-3 minutes, and will give you that reset that your body and brain needs. So I challenge you to take these steps today, and I’ll share with you what I share with my families in class: Your Quiet Time/Music Bath needs to be its own activity – not right before bed or nap Use a sound source that does not require you to look at a screen – if you play music from your phone, make sure to have it far away from you once you decide on the piece Use a speaker so that the music can fully resonate in the space – you don’t get a bath by splashing a couple of drops on your wrist ? Decide beforehand what piece you want to listen to – trying to decide in the moment will lead you down a media rabbit hole. Take time to make a playlist that you can keep adding to later Turn out the lights, find a comfortable position, and just listen - and breathe. Your Music Bath can be an individual activity, or done as a bonding time with others – your children will love you for it Once you get into a routine of this activity, notice how you feel. It may take a while to figure out what songs resonate with you on certain days, but that’s the beauty of the activity. You may find that this leads to other times in your day when you will lean to music. I cannot express how beneficial (well, I could, but that’s a whole other post) bringing music into your life for the enjoyment of listening, creating and simply being is. So many times I have heard during this pandemic “now more than ever we need the arts”. It’s true. Music can heal the soul. It regulates our bodies and minds. Give yourself the reset you need. To get you started, I’ve got some suggestions of three Spotify playlists that may help create this time for you. You know you best so start making your own list, but these are great to dive right in: Disney Lullaby Playlist – all your fav Disney songs acoustic piano & guitar with no vocals: 2. Sailing to Dreamland – one of my favourite restful Kindermusik albums: 3. Classical Piano Essentials – just gorgeous – River Flows in You is my latest go-to on this list Think of taking a Music Bath the way you may think of enjoying a great cup of coffee or tea. No distractions, holding the cup and sitting in your favourite place. Remember that we’ve all been through a lot and we need to take care of ourselves to be our best selves.

local government, environment protection/sustainable developement, public institutions, accessing public data Web page Project description Poland has the most polluted air of all the EU countries. This leads to 43 000 premature deaths a year. Breathing heavily polluted air increases the risk of serious diseases. Unfortunately, public awareness of the problem is low. The objective of the project was to identify obstacles for proliferation of information about air pollution, and to develop recommendations on improving access to such information. The project was implemented in the regions where air pollution is the highest in Poland. The project led to new, improved systems of information about air pollution in the Marshal’s Office of the Małopolska Region and the Kraków Magistrate. Cooperation was established with institutions responsible for providing information about air quality. The media, too, noticed the need to inform about the problem. The project included informative actions in the communities where air monitoring stations are located. An analysis was conducted of the activity of regional and district emergency management centres, marshal’s offices, regional inspectorates of environmental protection, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Health. On the basis of a survey of 1000 residents, the report “What do we know about smog?” was prepared, describing ways of informing about air pollution and the recommended changes. The report (along with its abridged version) was presented during a seminar attended by representatives of the institutions responsible for information about air pollution. It was also delivered to all the interested parties. An appeal to public media was issued, asking them to proliferate information about air quality. A brochure “Iron lungs” (informing about the differences in informing and alarming about the level of PM10 in Poland and other EU countries) was distributed. The beneficiaries of the actions were the marshal’s offices, emergency management centres, communities, and inspectorates of environmental protection in the regions of Małopolska, Silesia, Lower Silesia and Łódź, as well as residents of Poland. The project’s partner assisted with implementation and promotion of the project in Upper and Lower Silesia.

On Mar 31, 2012, Mr. Pascal Lamy, Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) visited the state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. located at Tongi in Gazipur. He was accompanied by Mr. Salman F Rahman, Vice Chairman of Beximco Group, Md. Ghulam Hossain, Commerce Secretary and a delegation of high level government officials. Mr. Nazmul Hassan, MP, Managing Director of Beximco Pharma and Mr. Rabbur Reza, Chief Operating Officer along with other senior management team received the delegates at the Company facilities. Mr. Nazmul Hassan, MP updated the WTO Chief about the Company’s activities as well as current status and future prospects of Bangladesh pharmaceuticals industry. During the visit, Mr. Lamy told that WTO would do a periodical review at the end of 2013 regarding a potential extension of Trade Related aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement waiver for countries including Bangladesh for another 10 years. This extension will be granted on grounds of public health situation and technology transfer for producing patent drugs in the less developed countries (LDCs). The current agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2015. At a press conference after the plant visit, Mr. Lamy said to the journalists, “I am quite impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities which manufacture drugs for the poor people of the country at prices that suit their pockets.” Mr. Lamy also appreciated Bangladesh’s exports to African countries. “It is good to see that these facilities are set up for producing medicines for the people living in other poor countries also,” he said referring to Beximco Pharma’s medicines export to Myanmar and many African countries. Replying to a query on WTO's future, Mr. Lamy said that they are reviewing a number of issues currently. "We are properly and effectively administrating the existing rulebook." The WTO members, particularly, the United States and China are considering to formulate the 9th edition of rulebook, he added.

Five members of the Cadet softball team represented DC in the Jenny Finch Classic Softball Tournament. During the week of July 12-16, the Nationals softball team represented Washington, DC, in the Jenny Finch Classic Softball Tournament here in Washington, DC. The team included SJC softball players Heaven Glass ’18, Ashleigh Fultz ’18, Raye Thomas ’19, Haile Proctor ’19 and Marakah Dennis ’19. While dominating on the field, they also participated in lots of the All-Star week activities, including the Home Run Derby, Fanfest, Playball Park, All-Star Futures Game and the All-Star Legends and Celebrity Game. The Nationals made it all the way to the championship game, but came out with the short end of the stick. Even with that upset, Thomas said the classic was “a really fun experience” and that they got the VIP experience and represented their city in a tournament against teams from all around the country. The girls were asked to try out for this team and Proctor said they agreed because the girls “thought it would be a good opportunity and experience.” This team even had the great Jenny Finch in their dugout cheering them on during a few games, which Glass said was “really amazing.”

Brixton Around the World is back. This week, Allen shares what happened when he jumped on his Brixton, sights set on Asia, Vietnam. He didn’t have it all planned out and the unbeaten track was his guide. First stop was Vietnam, where he spent time with indigenous people, celebrated the new year, and had a close encounter with an open dam. Adventures in Vietnam “I was already familiar with Vietnam, so the idea was to travel the country off the beaten track and to meet the indigenous people of Vietnam. I was able to spend time with the Hmong Den in the north of the country, where I discovered their trades, traditional dances and songs. Also the Cham people, who graciously invited me to celebrate Ka Té with them (their new year), where I immersed myself for a few days in the life of the village whilst preparing for the festivities. I also learned that several indigenous groups could coexist within the same village, for example the Ê-dê and the Mnông. With both groups speaking in different dialects, it made communication complicated! It was truly a great life experience. I will always remember attempting to cross a river at a bad time, when the gates of a dam opened upstream, raising the level and power of the current. The gold hunters located nearby were quick to get me out of this situation. It was a moment of panic, so many warm thanks for helping me!”
