On Sunday Hal, I and other members of our investigative team went to the Laja Friends Church just outside of the upper city of La Paz (El Alto) on the Bolivian altiplano. This is one of the older churches of the yearly meeting, founded sometime between 1940 and 1945. Some of the second, third and fourth generations of the founding family still participate in the life of this congregation, and we wanted to interview them. We traveled several hours on public transportation to get there, and upon arrival were impressed by the new temple (what Bolivian Quakers call their meeting houses), the third in this congregation’s history, built to meet the demands of a growing church. The worship service was moving as district leaders had come to position the new local leadership for 2014. As members of the church council, and women’s and youth leadership councils joined the pastor in the front of the platform, I was struck with the high level of participation in this local body. This Quaker value meshes with Aymara cultural values where leadership is shared on a horizontal level. The greater the participation, the more natural it feels. After the meeting we went to the Tazola family compound, a series of adobe rooms around a large open area. Aymara hospitality combined with Christian fellowship to present us and the extended family with a marvelous roast chicken lunch, prepared in the family’s adobe oven. Hal and I interviewed two family members, especially asking about their memories of the founding grandparents and the story of the early church. Then out in the yard, Felix and Hal gathered the old ones in a circle, and Felix interviewed and filmed for two hours. In the meantime, I learned how to bake “pan de Laja.” Laja’s fame lies in its special flatbread, sought after on the altiplano and in all La Paz for its unique flavor and texture. Although the town is not large, it has 106 bakeries. Bread is the town’s sole industry. The Tazolas, as Christians, do not bake on Sunday. But, in anticipation of our visit, they decided to make an exception so that we could enter into this particular cultural experience. They had prepared the dough ahead of time, so that when the consistency was right, those of us not involved in the filming and interviewing could participate in all the steps. It was fun, as well as educational, and it took most of the afternoon. Kids as well as adults, we went through all the steps: rolling the dough into thin lines; forming balls and placing them on large trays; letting them rise slightly for about a half an hour (the dough has very little yeast); forming the balls into flat circles; putting them into the adobe oven, turning them and removing them all within about seven minutes (Victor Tazola did this part); dusting off the excess flour; and tossing them into the baskets to take to the market. Of course we got to sample what we had just baked. Nothing tastes better than hot “pan de Laja.” We said our goodbyes in the late afternoon and headed to the central plaza to find transportation, loaded down with bags of fresh bread, historical information, and the sense that God is at work as His people in this place make bread and disciples. Forming the dough into balls Letting the bread rise Forming the flatbread Into the oven Dusting off excess flour Ready for market!

In 2011, Matt Mernagh gave the Canadian government a golden opportunity: lie down and legalize marijuana. It all started in 2008, when Matt was caught growing his own weed to treat his seizures, scoliosis, and a chronic pain condition called fibromyalgia. After three years of constant court battles, Matt and his lawyer Paul Lewin successfully launched a constitutional challenge that argued the medical marijuana program our trusty Canadian government was running at the time had far too many barriers for entry, and was not actually helping the sick people who needed it. They won, in the lower courts, and the federal government was given 30 days to respond. To Superior Court Judge Donald Taliano, Matt Mernagh’s case was indicative of a “massive boycott” by Canadian doctors of the medical marijuana program. The Crown disagreed, and one of their attorneys, Croft Michaelson, told the Appeal court in 2012 that: “[Those findings were] extravagant and wholly unsupported by the record.” Unsurprisingly, the government smashed Matt’s victory in the lower courts as if his verdict was a watermelon, and the Crown was Gallagher obnoxiously swinging a mallet. Medical marijuana restrictions have loosened a bit since Matt’s adventures through legal purgatory began—but even so, too much red tape has been wrapped around a sick Canadian’s right to grow a plant and smoke it or make butter with it or photograph it for High Times. Matt’s final court date is coming up in October, so I gave him a call to chat with him about his pot crusade against the federal government. VICE:How did you get into medical marijuana in the first place? Matt Mernagh: I started smoking cannabis in college because I had chronic pain issues. I joined a club in 1997 to get into a medical marijuana clinic. I was happy at that point in my life—I was getting marijuana, I was working. And then they got raided. Like, right out of the blue one day. I would go there once a week and buy my medicine, and it would help my health so much that I kind of took it for granted. When they got raided, I felt powerless. I didn’t quite know what to do. I called Now, and I started writing for them. I wrote an article about weed, about being a member of this club that just got raided by the police—and then I [got into marijuana activism]. I showed up at a couple of rallies, and it wasn’t until about 2005 when I met my friend Chris Goodwin that the two of us [until this very day] are doing everything we can to fight the law. Like, everything possible. We do rallies, we’ve done smoke outs, we do the big ones on April 20th. We’ve organized rallies across Canada. I realized that I could contribute quite a bit. And then—jeez. I got arrested a couple of times, but they kept withdrawing my charge because I couldn’t get into the medical marijuana program. What happened when you got arrested for that one crucial time that launched you into this massive legal battle? The smoke detector went off in my apartment and my landlord was concerned for my health, [laughs] so he called the cops and they went in to see if I was dead. And they found the grow! My landlord turned to the cops and said: “I think this is legal.” And all this came out in the pre-trial. It’s so hilarious. They discovered that it wasn’t legal, and issued a warrant to go back into the house. I never [tried to say] it wasn’t mine. They had me on video, after sleeping in a prison cell all night, gladly talking to them about, like, “Hey, this type of marijuana helps me wake up in morning, this marijuana helps me sleep at night.” And the cops were just completely flabbergasted and fascinated that this guy’s here, talking to them like: “Hey, I’m growing this for myself.” It should have been a slam dunk for the Crown. I should have been found guilty right away. But I hired a good lawyer, his name’s Paul Lewin, he’s a marijuana advocate. I got pinched a second time that summer, where I got hauled off to the Don Jail. I used Paul Lewin to really clean up all that mess. And Lewin and I agreed, right then and there, when I was sleeping in the Don… he’s like, “we’re gonna fight them all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.” Matt Mernagh at a weed rally with a giant plant. Did you believe him at the time? I honestly believed him. Nobody else did, but I had nothing else. The police took everything I owned. They killed two of my pets. How? I had two ferrets. One died in the vet—he was just terrorized, and the other guy was just, they’re very affectionate to each other, he just died of a broken heart. And it was like, within weeks. Like really, within, like, weeks, of me being raided. I had nothing, I was sleeping on my buddy’s couch. So then Lewin was just like, “This is what we’re gonna do,” and I was like, fuck, let’s do this. They totally ruined me. I had to go and put my whole life back together, while going to court every month. I knew a lot of medical marijuana people. I knew that I was not the only one. I knew there were more people like me facing this issue—and we were able to find 22 witnesses. One of our biggest goals has always been to prove that the government program is an illusion, so using social media and [contacting people I already knew, I built a list]. It’s an unbelievable documentation of medical marijuana in Canada. What were you looking to document, exactly? We were looking for statistics specifically on where people were getting access to medical marijuana. We would look at Manitoba, for example, and [the government] would tell us how many medical marijuana users are there. No names—we just got a number. For the province of Manitoba, we can literally circle it and conclude that it’s just Winnipeg—there is no medical marijuana elsewhere in the province. Even if you lived somewhere else in the province of Manitoba, you’d have to go into Winnipeg to get medical marijuana. And so our goal was simply to find people in these provinces that can confirm their stories. Like, “did you travel, or did you have to travel to see doctors for facilities? What’s the wait like?” So you were essentially trying to argue that the program wasn’t very useful because rural Canadians weren’t getting access? Right, and people like myself were getting arrested. Did you personally make an attempt to join the medical program? Oh yeah, for sure. I was able to testify to it. I saw numerous doctors. In fact, one doctor wrote a letter saying he knew that I was using medical marijuana. I made several efforts, right up until, jeez, the middle of June. I was making an application with my family doctor and I still couldn’t find someone else to sign off on. So yes, I think that’s what people were confused about—I made a lot of effort to get into this program, and our witnesses did too. Our 22 witnesses went to a combined 113 doctors visits. And all of those people were rejected from the program? All were rejected. We had a witness that testified to seeing about 20 doctors. And she fully qualified. She had an illness that fully qualified for this service program. Crazy. So how did you feel once you finally won in the lower court? It was the best day of my life, ever. We weren’t doing media or anything. We did it quietly. One day in February my lawyer called and told me I actually won an exception from the marijuana law. My knees buckled—the judges granted me a court exemption to grow and possess my own marijuana, and it gave the government 90 days to respond to these allegations that basically no doctors were participating in this program. And then it got unravelled… Oh man, yeah, at the Court of Appeal, the Crown changed lawyers at the time, and it got unravelled. They argued a very technical legal case, and they basically told me what I did wrong. Matt Mernagh with the President of Crack or Mayor of Toronto? What would it have meant for Canada if the original legal decision stuck? If the first decision stuck marijuana would have been legal. You would have been able to grow marijuana. There’s no way the feds would have been able to create a new program in 90 days. How did you feel when you realized that you had gone from potentially destroying the existing medical marijuana program to being back at square one? Man, I was devastated. It wasn’t until the Supreme Court ruling came in and they dismissed it that I really sort of broke down and lost it. I trashed the stage at Vapor Central [laughs]. It was very unbecoming of me but, still, it falls in line with my rock star spirit [laughs]. I’m still devastated. It’s like losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup. I wanted to go back-to-back. It felt horrible. I can imagine. Do you have any legal permission to smoke weed now? Well, no, I don’t. I’m actually back to square one 100 percent, doing what I usually do. I’m in the new medical marijuana program [and I will be patient #1]. Even though we lost, the government greatly reduced [the barriers to apply for the program]. They tried to make it easier on doctors. I’m not sure if it’s going to work, but I remain hopeful. They changed how doctors can do it, so my family doctor was easily able to fill out the form. And I’m hoping that other doctors follow suit. You don’t even need an illness anymore. I intend to use seven grams a day. That’s all your doctor needs to say. The doctor just wrote [my permission form] on his letterhead. And how quickly after he sent that letter did you get the go-ahead to get stoned legally? Well you don’t get permission from [the government] anymore. Health Canada is completely out of the picture now. I can take that document and buy from a licensed provider. Where are the licensed providers? There’snobody licensed yet [laughs]. They’re phasing out the new program, and as of September 30th of this year, they have to stop accepting that old application and change over to that new system. So what’s wrong with the new program, then? In the new program we lose our opportunity to grow. That’s a big problem. Yes. It’s huge. I’m stuck. I don’t want to say this new program is way better. Because obviously you depend on very particular strains, right? Yeah, I depend on their love and support, man. That’s what my book is about. I love growing. Well I guess this is somewhat of a step forward. Yeah, it’s a step forward, we’re moving, and who knows, in another two years time, if it’s not working, Lewin and I both agreed… we may ride again.

B&Q have revealed that their store on Smugglers Way, Wandsworth is set to close next month. The site forms part of the planned six acre location for a massive development by Legal and General which could eventually include up to a thousand new flats. There will be 13 tower blocks build at the site some of which will be 15 storeys high. A spokesperson for B&Q, said: “B&Q is committed to our customers in the Wandsworth area, we’re very sorry to be closing the Wandsworth store on Saturday, October 12 and we send our sincere apologies to Wandsworth customers.” In a recent meeting with the Wandsworth Society, Legal and General said that the adjacent Homebase site will be closed by June next year. The total development cost is expected to be £500 million and the plan is to construct ‘Build To Rent’ (BTR) housing which will be retained by the company as well as 85,000 sq ft of commercial space. Located adjacent to Wandsworth Town train station, the development will include a new entrance to the platforms.

The constant pressure to accelerate the chemical research and discovery enterprise forces us to continually challenge and optimize our workflows. This exercise is facilitated through new enabling technology, which often is born out of early-stage prototypes from academic laboratories. The journey from first proof of concept to deployed technology is a convoluted and challenging process, and requires a diverse interdisciplinary team and excellent communication to ensure the goals from all stakeholders are being addressed. Evolving a system from the academic inception to a deployable technology that meets the needs of industrial research can prove to be a research project in itself. This presentation will highlight several case studies focused on transferring new automation hardware in service of autonomous laboratory experimentation. These new tools are the product of the fusion of machine learning (ML) with advanced robotics and online analytics, which has given rise to the “self-driving” laboratory; a hybrid hardware/software system capable of executing iterative experiments while learning on the fly and deciding what to do next. These tools present enormous potential and may radically alter how scientific research and discovery is executed by dramatically shortening both the time and burden needed to explore new research challenges. Biography: Dr. Jason Hein is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Jason Hein received his B.Sc. in Biochemistry in 2000 and Ph.D. in asymmetric reaction methodology in 2005 from the University of Manitoba (NSERC PGS-A/B, Prof. Philip G. Hultin). In 2006, he became an NSERC postdoctoral research fellow with Prof. K. Barry Sharpless and Prof. Valery V. Fokin at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA. In 2010, he became a senior research associate with Prof. Donna G. Blackmond at the Scripps Research Institute. He began his independent career at the University of California, Merced in 2011, employing in-situ kinetic reaction analysis to rapidly profile and study complex networks of reactions. In 2015, he moved to the University of British Columbia to continue the development of automated reaction analytical technology to serve mechanistic organic chemistry. His research has resulted in a collection of prototype modular robotic tools and integrated analytical hardware which create the first broadly applicable automated reaction profiling toolkit geared toward enabling autonomous research and discovery. He was the co-lead of Project ADA; the world's first autonomous discovery platform for thin film materials, supported by Natural Resources Canada, co-PI of the MADNESS team supported by the DARPA Accelerated Molecular Discovery Program and an Associate Director of the Acceleration Consortium spearheaded by the University of Toronto.

Martin Luther, himself a part of Christendom, sought to free grace from its 1000+ captivity. In doing so, he nailed the need for true grace so firmly to the church doors that it nailed the door shut to the ability for his contemporaries or future Christians to free any of the above hostages of Christendom. Reformed theology's death grip on grace has been so exclusive that it has held back the way of any future reform. Mission, nonviolence, radical discipleship, the whole lot -- they're still held bound and gagged, and the freed hostage of grace seems to be guarding the door Very interesting post (been up a while) on Organic Jesus... a gentle but sharp critique of reformed theology's stranglehold on modern christianity and "grace"... The premise is that Luther liberated Christianity from the bondage of "The Church" but in doing so he and his compatriots so categorically "nailed" their revolution that Christianity has not so far been able to continue to reform... it's the classic mistake of revolutions the world over, they become defined by what they protest against - no surprise, but sad, that we still talk about being "protestant"! - this leads to very little room for manoeuvre and the culture becoming a defensive one that has to see it's position as the only true and right one. This is a great warning for the emerging church, we should resist the temptation to be "protestant", to be defined by protest against modern, reformed, fundamentalist, conservative, superficial etc. etc. church... we should not seek to define ourselves in opposition, because it is easy to get stuck with a foundation story that is born in protest/opposition and by doing so stifle the very things we celebrate... some of the emerging church conversation will do this, some I hope wont. For me Robert Webber's (and others) early emphasis on an ancient/future faith was a very positive step because it does not buy into an "evolutionary" perspective... i.e. that Christianity is/has evolved and what came before was primitive, superstitious, worldly, wrong etc. rather it celebrates the good/riches in the whole history of Christianity... the challenge will be can we embrace the good in Modern Christianity!? The latest manifestation of Ancient/Future faith seems to me to be the New-Monastic exploration, it holds in a very creative tension; a love for the story of scripture, the urgency of an engaged faith, a deep intercessory spirituality and a yearning for simple/real/hospitable community... these things are all positives i.e. they are not "post" anything rather they are timeless and imminent. It seems to me it's time to stop using the "post" prefix - if anyone still is - and time to stop seeing ourselves in "opposition" to other times and positions of Christianity - much as certain forms will keep trying to drag us into that argument, time to stop producing linear diagrams that reinforce polarised terminology and perceptions... time to stop thinking we - or anyone - has "got it right" and time to start simply being who God makes us... being reformed continually as we go and grow.

Brick masonry work is one of the most vital part of building construction. In this informative construction article, you will learn how to accomplish the complete brick masonry work from Earth beam to roof. The following four major steps are involved in brick masonry work :- 1. up to basement 2. up to sill level 3. up to lintel level 4. up to roof level. Brick masonry up to Basement: Prior to erect brick masonry, the most crucial task is to finish all adjoining column up to basement. It is recommended to execute the column rising work prior to brick masonry otherwise the following problems may occur :- While erecting brick wall, shedding of mortar should be provided in to the column bottom to make it rigid and not smoothly detachable. In next day, as soon as the shuttering work is completed, some saw dust from different shuttering materials like plywood, timber also shedding in to the column bottom. They can’t be detached easily after shuttering. When the column concrete is arranged after the completion of the brick masonry, the water in the concrete is absorbed with dry brick wall and a dry concrete is placed there devoid of adequate water cement ratio and it leads to a weak structure. Therefore, the exact method is to initially execute the column work and after that accomplish the brick wall. Initially, cleanse the entire earth beam with water and ready surface. Employ semi solid cement slurry on it. Spatter the brick with water. Chip the column sides by chisel and make the column surface rough so that a perfect binding is formed with brick joint. Initially, erect the brick masonry as a reference pillar similar to a benchmark in all corners by applying the plump, set square and verify each opposite brick wall corner with level for each 3 courses. Alter the thickness of the mortar to retain the proper level. Abide by the remaining unless it attains the basement. There will be 2 options just like above. Any one method can be applied at corners and in cross wall extension. In the 1st method, there should be no weak straight joints. Mortar can be easily provided. In the 2nd method, there should be weak straight joint. Mortar can't be easily provided for progressing further. Once the corner reference wall is finished, each course can be formed one by one by attaching a strong thread among the two benchmark and thus the whole basement will be finished easily.

The Tribune Review has a story that transportation advocates are now claiming that Pennsylvania needs $3 billion in additional revenue per year just to keep roads and bridges up to standard. This is almost double what the estimated need was a few years ago, and far higher than the $400-plus million the state would have gotten from tolling I-80. It seems that when it comes to transportation – like many other areas of government spending – the solution is always “more money.” Here, however, are some free-market solution, that don’t involve higher taxes on Pennsylvanians Transportation Funding Solutions Require Reforms and Reprioritization Report: The Emerging Paradigm: Financing and Managing Pennsylvania’s Transportation Infrastructure Commentary: Five Alternatives to Tolling I-80 Policy Brief: Mass Transit Reform: Lessons for Pennsylvania Policy Brief: Paying for Our Paving: Why Leasing the Turnpike Makes Good Economic and Public Policy Sense Reason Testimony: Modernizing and Expanding Pennsylvania’s Transportation Infrastructure through Public-Private Partnerships

Shuiping Jiang has 14 years of experience working in international education in China and the United States, and now she is bringing her talents to Youngstown State University to work as the assistant director of International Admissions and Recruitment. This position was created to help the International Programs Office expand international outreach, establish partnerships with overseas universities and process international student applications. YSU Provost Martin Abraham said one of YSU’s goals is to increase enrollment. He believes they can do that by growing the university’s population of international students. He said it’s important for administration to add staff in the International Program Office, like Jiang, to achieve that goal. Jiang will begin her job at YSU on Dec. 8. Nathan Myers, associate provost for International and Global Initiatives, said her background and skill set makes her a great fit for the job. “I think this is a game changer for us,” he said. “She understands the different professional limitations and possibilities in higher education in China, and that’s a huge advantage for YSU.” Jiang has her master’s degree in economics and bachelor’s degree in computer science from the Qingdao University and the Shandong University of Technology. She has many years of working in positions for international and study abroad programs under her belt, at Chinese and American universities. “I’m really thrilled to be back to my career as a full-time specialist after being an international student for two years,” she said. “I’m sure I will enjoy my work, my office and my responsibilities.” She’s leaving her job as the administrative assistant of the Office of Global Engagement at Clemson University in South Carolina to work at YSU. At that position, she assisted with study abroad programs and helped manage their global partnerships. One thing she is proud of is establishing the International Office at her undergraduate university, Qingdao Agricultural University, in 2005. “I enjoyed my job a lot. I enjoy international exchanges and collaborations,” Jiang said. “I was in charge of everything.” Within two years of her working there, the International Office at Qingdao established partnerships with 18 universities. She proceeded to work in five positions there, including working as the director of International Partnerships and Program Operations. When her school’s collaboration with American universities increased, she was given the opportunity to work at the Murray State University in Kentucky in 2013. She served as the International Recruitment Consultant and assisted in international recruitment and Chinese scholar services. Jiang is pursuing her Ph.D. for International Family and Community Studies at Clemson University. She is working on her dissertation, which involves international students in higher education, and wants to continue doing research for that paper in Youngstown. “I was looking for a job that can match my qualifications. At the same time, this job will benefit my dissertation. It’s a mutual benefit,” she said. “It’s an amazing opportunity.” After working at building relationships between universities for years, Jiang realized that some universities are hesitant to try and establish partnerships for fear of wasting time, energy and resources if they aren’t successful. She’s interested in finding models and theories that can help universities create more successful partnerships. Jiang said she is excited to work with the international department at YSU. She said she already feels like she belongs there. “I really appreciate the team, I have a great feeling about it,” she said. “It’s not about the money or level of the position — it’s the team you work with; that’s the most important factor to me.” It’s her goal to help the team increase international enrollment, create global partnerships and maintain a high-quality experience for international students. She said their strategy must be tailored to YSU for it to be effective. “Before I start recruitment, I want to identify the strengths, target population and identify the basic policies,” she said. “Then I can use all recruitment channel strategies.” Recruitment channel strategies include articulation agreements and in-house recruitment. She emphasized that international students need a strong English program at YSU to help them speak fluently to other students at this university. Jiang said it’s important to increase internet interaction through social media and to advertise the newer technology that YSU is equipped with, like 3D additive manufacturing labs. As of now, YSU has about 20 Chinese students, and the department is working towards increasing that number. Jiang said reaching out to the Chinese student market is one of her strengths, especially because she already has established relationships there. “I’m happy the university would like to put more effort into the Chinese student market; the universities I have worked with have nearly 400 Chinese students,” she said. “I can use my resources and skills to improve Chinese student enrollment.” Abraham recognizes that part of Shuiping’s strength in this role is her understanding of what international students are motivated by and what they expect when they study abroad. Her relationships with Chinese universities and students will be beneficial for YSU, he said. “We have programs that international students need,” he said. “We are available and able to accommodate these students not just academically, but also socially, and provide a cultural experience that meets their needs as they study in a foreign country.”

Winter. A time for hibernation. A time for reflection. A time for allowing those seeds that were planted in the fall to take hold. A time for shedding the old as we create the new. For many of us, it becomes a time of solitude and despair. Especially this winter when travel is reduced, going out has been stifled and seeing people may not be in our best interest. Many people over the years have had an association of winter and lack of sunlight with depression and sadness. What if we looked at winter as a time for well-being? Instead of what is lacking, we look at what we are creating. Instead of being sad that we cannot see everyone or go all the places we want, we focus on ourselves, travel inward and understand what we want to create moving forward. Allow this time to be a time of re-birth, of re-creating who we are, what we want and what is truly of importance. Winter tends to keep us indoors far more than many of us really want. Perhaps using that time indoors to create new habits of well-being for ourselves and learning new ideas and thoughts could help us become an even better version of ourselves as the seasons turn and the thaw begins. Understanding ourselves, what we need, what we no longer need allows us to flow more with the stream of well-being that is there whether we allow it or resist it. Letting go of old beliefs, letting go of old rules of living and creating new spaces for growth can only enhance who we are and what we aspire to be. In speaking with someone recently, she asked me if I was an introvert or an extravert. Now before you laugh, she asked because I talked about how much I loved working from home. Having to walk from my bedroom to my office instead of commuting an 1 1/2 each way every day was pure pleasure for me. I love that I don’t wear any of the work clothes that I spent so much money on over the years, no longer spend much on dry cleaning and have the ability to work when I want and not on someone else’s schedule all contribute to this feeling. I shared that I was an extravert but that I truly valued my time alone now and felt that I re-energize more alone than I do with others now. I still love the energy I receive from people, places and things, but I also love the energy I create from being alone in nature, reading, meditating and playing with my dog. What I love most is that I use this time alone, this time I have to become a better version of me. This year my word is Soar. One of my intentions for the year is to Soar to new heights with my physical, emotional and mental health. I already see the differences I am making. I am eating healthier than ever and have lost 12 pounds. I have more energy and feel better in my body. I am learning new things as I study pilates on a deeper level and read more about the limbs of yoga. I focus more on abundance than lack and have cleared many of those old beliefs along with people who may have held me back. I am allowing this winter to be a winter of well-being. I am beginning to plant the seeds for spring that will germinate and create more of what I want in my life. Certainly that isn’t to say it is all working terrifically, but I no longer focus on the words “should”, “can’t” and “perfection.” I focus on progress, learning, and growth. I am still a believer in this cha-cha of life. I dance it, taking those steps forward, side-to-side and backwards. I see each step for what it is and how it creates an entire dance, one that I love. As I shed things and people this winter, I feel lighter. I see what has held me back and I continue to focus on moving myself forward. Winter can be a time of sullenness or happiness. It can be a time for gluttony or shedding. It can be whatever you want it to be, we each get to choose that path. Winter well-being. What are you choosing to shed? Posted in Uncategorized 2 Comments Caroline on February 25, 2021 at 11:41 pm Hi Suzy, I meant to send you a comment earlier in the week, but it got away from me! I really think sometimes you and I are aligned in the universe. I’ve been journaling about “shedding” since that is what I’ve been doing for the last month! Even tonight I’m cleaning out my car, 192k miles! Yikes… I had to get a new cell phone a couple of weeks ago, that alone is a process of shedding and rebuilding! Lol! I also switched jobs, and moved my office and cleaned out 17 years of stuff! Felt good to move with only 3 boxes of essentials only for my pre retirement role. I have a new location, 10 minutes from the beach too! So when I read this I REALLY could relate to it! Planting the seeds for the new year! Love you!!! Reply Suzy on February 26, 2021 at 12:56 pm Caroline, we need to catch up , so many things changing!! I love how aligned we are, I too am shedding a lot of patterns of behavior, beliefs and stuff. After the last months scare, starting to clean the house out to consider a move. Planting seeds, and letting go, the cycle of growth and abundance! Love you and thank you for being such an inspiration to me!

As the world continues to digitize at rapid speeds, they way we work, purchase, and consume information has completely transformed. The impact of these all these changes and how we better can protect ourselves is just becoming clear. As we have seen with disruptive technology in the past, governments are establishing new regulations and rules in an attempt to bring structure and law to this new digital world. Accommodating changes to these new rules and regulations is no longer just a procedural obligation that organizations address on a quarterly (or sometimes annual basis). It is imperative that organizations maintain compliance with upcoming regulatory changes or face significant fines and disruption. As the numbers of clients, employees, risks, services, and contracts grow within an organization each year, managing regulatory response compliance has become a competitive advantage for the organizations that turn these obligations into opportunities for their business. Types of Regulatory Response: London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) ‘British Exit’ from the European Union (Brexit) California Assembly Bill 5 (AB5) International Financial Reporting Standard 16 (IFRS-16) Since day one, we've focused on a providing a solution that is composed of the tools that strategies can executed on. Heretik’s solution provides legal document-specific machine learning models, intelligent extraction models, and configurable work flows to allow teams to quickly review massive quantities of legal records and pinpoint areas of risk with the needed context. This allows teams to execute remediation plans with higher precision in a fraction of the time, and set your team up for a scalable, repeatable process. That, along with real time data to get ahead of upcoming regulatory changes, gives your team the advantage to focus on core competencies and beat the competition.

FEATURE LIST Regulation Spotlight: LIBOR Impacted groups: Lending Global banks provide global loans to other banks and parties which have varying durations and are tied to LIBOR. Investment Banking Many investment instruments and securities (Bonds, Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs), Preferred Stock) are tied to LIBOR. Potential use cases: Interbank Loans ~$370T in loans are tied to LIBOR. Banks need to review their current loans and respective contracts to identify which loans are impacted by LIBOR, which have durations that go beyond LIBOR being phased out, which have the appropriate fallback language, and which need to be repapered. Securities The preferred stock market is ~$900B. Securities are structured off a floating rate tied LIBOR and many of the securities go into perpetuity. Most all are callable, so Bankers need to be able to answer questions from the securities’ prospectuses to understand the impact when the securities are called.

Diagnosis Murder was a 60 minute crime/drama series on CBS a doctor who was the chief of staff at a hospital and also consulted on murder cases with the Los Angeles Police Department. He worked on those cases with his son who was an LAPD detective and got help from two young doctors who worked at the hospital with him. Diagnosis Murder Cast Dick Van Dyke .... Doctor Mark Sloan Charlie Schlatter .... Doctor Jesse Travis Scott Baio .... Doctor Jack Stewart Cynthia Gibb .... Doctor Amanda Bentley (Pilot) Victoria Rowell .... Doctor Amanda Bentley (Series) Barry Van Dyke .... Det. Steve Sloan Kim Little .... Nurse Susan Hilliard Diagnosis Murder Trivia Diagnosis Murder was a "spin-off" of the series, "Jake and the Fatman". Doctor Mark Sloan first appeared on episode #77, "It Never Entered My Mind" of Jake and the Fatman where he assisted the District Attorney (The Fatman) and a detective (Jake Styles) solve one of their most difficult murder cases. Victoria Rowell played the role of the single Doctor Amanda Bentley on Diagnosis Murder. When Victoria became pregnant in real life they decided to explain it by having her marry a man who was away, serving in the military. That way, they didn't have to bring on a new cast member to play the role of Amanda's husband. Victoria also had a regular role on the daytime drama, "The Young and the Restless" during her entire eight years on Diagnosis Murder! In the Diagnosis Murder episodes titled, "Gangland - Parts 1 and 2" we learned that Amanda Bentley had been a foster child. Victoria Rowell who played Amanda had also been a real-life foster child. CBS moved Diagnosis Murder to a different night just one time during its eight season run but they changed the time slot six times. Scott Baio left the show at the end of the second season. They explained that Dr. Stewart left in order to move to Colorado and start his own clinic. You probably either knew or noticed that Barry Van Dyke is the son of Dick Van Dyke. Many people seem to think that Barry has only acted on Diagnosis Murder but that's far from the truth. He played the role of "Lieutenant Dillon" on the sci-fi series, "Galactica 1980" and he played "John Hawke" on the entire fourth season of "Airwolf". Barry has also made guest-starring appearances on numerous shows including "Wonder Woman", "Mork and Mindy", "Remington Steele", "Magnum P.I.", "The A-Team", "The Dukes of Hazzard", and "The Love Boat". You can even see him on episode #19 of "The Dick Van Dyke Show". The episode that the 11-year-old Barry appeared on was titled, "The Talented Neighborhood"!

The Government College University Lahore on Wednesday conferred the honorary doctorate of philosophy (PhD) degree upon eminent philanthropist, dedicated social worker and compassionate humanitarian Mr. Anwaar Ahmad Khan for his thirty years meritorious services to the society. Punjab Governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar chaired the special degree awarding ceremony at the Governor’s House Lahore where he along with Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Asghar Zaidi awarded the Honoris Causa Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to Mr. Anwaar A. Khan. The citation presented by Registrar Dr. Shaukhat Ali highlighted the commendable services of Mr. Khan as a well-known philanthropist, who has worked tirelessly for the uplift of the down-trodden over three decades. Speaking on the occasion, Chaudhry Sarwar said Mr. Anwar Khan spends his energies, time and millions of rupees every year serving food to poor families, providing funds for marriages of daughters of laborer class, provision of financial assistance to widows and orphans, operating free health facilities and first aid points and provision of clean drinking water nationwide. He also said that Mr. Anwaar A. Khan also did exemplary social work for people affected by COVID-19, and this honorary degree would be a token of recognition to his great services to the society. Mr. Khan is also member Board of Directors of 600-bed hospital which provides indoor and outdoor free medical treatment to over one million individuals annually. He is General Secretary of Jamiat Taleem ul Quran Trust which is providing basic and Islamic education to 80,000 students in over 2000 maktabs and 69 jails. Addressing the ceremony, Vice Chancellor Prof. Asghar Zaidi said GCU has groomed several generations of great human beings who made their mark in different walks of life. “In order to seek inspiration from those who make invaluable contribution to the welfare of the society, we acknowledge the services of such social leaders in several ways,” he said. The Vice Chancellor believed that this GCU initiative, for sure, shall serve as an inspiration for the privileged to emulate the worthwhile example of the Mr. Anwaar Khan and share their abundant resources with the underprivileged of our society. Prof. Dr. Zaidi emphasized the fact that the GCU is breaking away from a tradition of granting honorary degree to eminent foreign dignitaries and politicians only, and this year it is acknowledging a person who has been doing good to the society and country. He said that people like Mr. Anwaar A. Khan are role models for our youth, especially to our students in placing value to philanthropy and social work.

Tom was hysterically funny so studying for Physics was a pure joy! I chuckle when I see his cute grin in his high school picture. It just warms my heart. I think he came to class in his "Golden Nugget" and sat on the back row with us where the Physics lecture just sunk into his bright mind. I, on the other hand, was trying to take every note I could. He was such a dear person.

The 550-acre Lilly-Dickey Woods is located in Brown County approximately 20 miles from the IU Bloomington campus. It was donated to Indiana University in 1942 by the Lilly family for botanical research and art studies. While there were no legal stipulations at the time of the gift, former Chancellor Herman B Wells stated that it was clearly understood by the university that the area was to be kept "natural." True to this statement, Lilly-Dickey Woods has remained a natural area and is completely undeveloped. Lilly-Dickey Woods is a part of the Smithsonian Center for Tropical Forest Science's ForestGEO database which facilitates long-term, large-scale research of forest ecosystems around the world.

Perhaps you have become your SUV or away-road pickup truck stuck on a mud pit? It will take plenty of effort to get out of these actually sticky scenarios. Mud tires are probably the straightforward answers to a frequent difficulty encountered by lots of people. They will likely show to be beneficial when you are living in an area in which there is lots of bad weather, a great deal of planet to create mud, and way less highways. They are called mud tires because they run better on wet and rough surfaces, and will not get your vehicle stuck on mud pits. In contrast to regular tires, mud tires are more jagged and get further tread styles offering fantastic traction and hold on any off-highway landscape. One thing that must be noted is that when it comes to driving on paved roads, mud tires are not any better than normal tires. The jagged treads give much less connection with the path surface area, thus lessening rubbing and grip. Braking is likewise a challenge for driving a vehicle on paved surface areas since there is insufficient rubbing to kitchen counter the vehicle’s motion. Experiencing these kinds of tire does not always mean much better street functionality. It is designed for away-streets use on hard surfaces. There are still a lot of people who are seen driving with mud tires on roads, however. It is far from only a good choice for its energy purposes. It is also regarded as a wonderful way to improve the look of your truck right into a far more daunting and reputable highway ruler as a result of extra suspension and height of your motor vehicle. There are several which can be moderately created to work nicely both on your way and off-road. These types are the right one for you if you are someone whose lifestyle demands frequent trips from the city to the rough road site. You don’t ought to modify cars from time to time since you can utilize one with tires that run well on roadways and rough surfaces. You must also know that you have to buy a different set of wheels for your car if you are buying it for the first time. Have gained popularity with some city drivers, though they are designed for off-road use. However, for much better traction in hard ground, depend upon mud tires to help you out from that sticky say goodbye to again and again.

Here are some links to sites/people that I find useful or inspiring. I tend to post other random links on Twitter as and when I find them. For writers/aspiring writers: The Romantic Novelists’ Association. I enrolled in their New Writers Scheme and it’s a great way to learn and develop. I’m now a full member and really look forward to their events. I’ve also made a lot of friends through the organisation. The Society of Authors. Basically the union for writers; I definitely think it’s worth the membership. They will check contracts for you and let you know what they think of the terms and conditions. Kate Walker. I started going to her courses when I first started writing romance. She’s an amazing teacher and also a brilliant writer. If you want to learn how to write romance then I can definitely recommend you go to one of her courses; you’ll find details of these on her website. She’s also published a book called the 12-point Guide to Writing Romance, which I can highly recommend. Joanne Harris’s Twitter feed; especially her Ten Tweets series. General links: There are a lot of people on Twitter I find very inspiring, including Matt Haig, @JuneSarpong, and many others. There are also many useful mental health organisations based in the UK, such as the Samaritans, Heads Together and Mind. I can also recommend Disability Snowsport UK, a charity that assists people in accessing snowsport, regardless of disability, injury, or experience.

More than a dozen current and former employees at Vice News recounted a culture of sexism and sexual harassment plus a human resources department that was unresponsive to employee complaints to the Daily Beast. "We have immediately begun reviewing this matter," Vice told the Daily Beast via a statement. The big picture: The sexual harassment revolution is toppling the careers of powerful media men like Mark Halperin, Leon Wieseltier, Michael Oreskes and Lockhart Steele. The flood of allegations — which have now reached Vice — reveals an industry where women often can't get ahead without facing harassment and, in some cases, abuse from their male colleagues. The details, per the Daily Beast: One example is former employee Phoebe Barghouty, who alleges she was repeatedly sexually harassed by LA bureau chief Kaj Larsen. Barghouty says her reports reached Vice's then-global director of human resources, Nancy Ashbrooke, but no action was taken against Larsen. Ashbrooke had served as the VP of HR at Harvey Weinstein's Miramax Films from 1991 to 2000 — the years during which Weinstein was paying out legal settlements to women he had allegedly harassed. Larsen and Ashbrooke did not respond to requests for comment from the Daily Beast.

One of the most common skin disorders encountered by dermatologists is allergic contact dermatitis. This is a very itchy, pink or reddish rash that can be localized to one site (e.g. hands), or can be widespread all over the body. It results from contact with a chemical on the skin. Common chemicals that elicit this rash include poison ivy, nickel (or other metals in jewelry), fragrances, topical antibiotics, forms of rubber (e.g. elastic), hair dye, and preservatives in shampoo. It is often very difficult to figure out what chemical is causing the rash without performing a skin patch test. Typically, patch testing requires three office visits. First, we tape patches onto your back that will expose your skin to 80 chemicals that commonly cause allergic contact dermatitis. We see you back two days later to remove the patches and examine you to see if your skin is reacting to any of the chemicals. Finally, we see you back again to see if you have developed any delayed reactions to the 80 chemicals. We then try to figure out if any of the chemicals that caused skin reactions may be causing your rash. Randolph Dermatolgy now offers narrow band UVB phototherapy. Phototherapy is an effective treatment for common skin conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema (atopic dermatitis), itching, vitiligo, and urticaria (hives). Phototherapy also works for cutaneous T cell lymphoma, polymorphous light eruption, lichen planus, and granuloma annulare.

Carphone Warehouse profits rose 81 percent to £124 million ($242.39 million) in the year to March 29, on 12 percent better revenues of £4.47 billion ($8.73 billion). But the group has a “cautious” outlook for the next year, “given the poor economic climate and inflationary pressures on European consumers”. It blamed the slowdown of the housing market and, intriguingly, the rise of mobile broadband sales for lower take-up of its broadband than expected, warning it expects lower revenue next year if the trend continues. Carphone is betting its new JV with Best Buy will “give us a whole new avenue of potential growth in the wider consumer electronics market place”. The company said a 15 percent rise in mobile connections to 11.5 million was primarily down to smartphones offering web and email, and to those wireless broadband dongles – both also expected to be the key growth areas over the next year. Carphone incurred £15 million ($29.32 million) costs integrating AOL’s (NYSE: TWX) UK ISP business, which it bought in 2006. The acquisition made its first full-year impact, helping revenue up 29 percent to £1.4 billion ($2.73 billion) in the fixed-line division, which also includes Carphone’s own TalkTalk broadband. It’s reduced its reliance on BT’s (NYSE: BT) wholesale broadband network, serving 67 percent of its customers from its own net, up from 31 percent last year, and aiming for 80 percent next March. The group lost £6 million from its stake in Virgin Mobile.

Outsourcing some lumber profiling for a small custom item could carry a big comparative advantage. April 15, 2012 Question I run a small, two man woodworking business. Both myself and my business partner have day jobs and put in the hours for the business on nights and weekends. Lately, we have picked up a lot of business doing production of small cedar boxes and trays. The boxes are about 7" square by 2-3/4" high. They have rabbeted and brad nailed corners, with a groove in the bottom that holds 5.2mm ply. They also have a lid made by mitered corners that are glued and clamped with miter spring corner clamps. The lid is rabbeted after assembly to sit in the box. Before assembly, we also rout a groove in each lid piece that will accept fiberglass screen and spline, so the end product looks like a picture frame with screen instead of glass. Our production method is to buy #3 rough sawn cedar 1x6’s, plane the rough side, re-saw, plane smooth to ~.335". Then we do a lot of routing grooves and chop-sawing. Then we assemble by hand with electric brad nailers. A planed surface is acceptable to the customer. The only time we sand is if there are major defects, or any squeeze-out when we glue up the lids. The trays are about 8.5x11x1.25" tall. These just have a groove to accept 5.2mm ply, and no lid. We use the Ridgid 10" granite top table saw, a Craftsman Pro 13" planer, Grizzly 14" Bandsaw, homemade router table, and a 12" Makita SCMS to do most of this work. Our shop is about 500SF and has single phase power. What I'm hoping for is some advice on processing or possible equipment upgrades to make box production go as smooth as possible. To give you an idea of our size, these two items are only grossing us about $1200/wk. Our main constraint right now is time, as if we get faster at these, we can easily pick up similar jobs and really increase cash flow. Click here for higher quality, full size image Forum Responses (Furniture Making Forum) From contributor U: I would say the best place to start is the planing and re-sawing. A lot will depend on your supplier, but a lot of my dealers are dressing the lumber at no charge these days. This would eliminate one step. Even with a charge, it might be worth considering. This may depend on the quantity you are buying per order and may not be practical. Also you should look into the possibility of buying the wood already in a thinner material thickness. I have had suppliers offer to re-sawn sizable orders, usually this is done prior to drying. Again only certain size orders apply and could get pricy. Some sawing operations have thin stuff available due to the fact they cannot be sold through normal channels for their regular demand, again another if, but maybe worth consideration. From the original questioner: To contributor U: Thanks for the suggestion. Right now we are getting material from a local lumber yard/building supply store. They don't have the capability to do the milling since it is more of a retail shop. I did see a stamp on the ends of our boards - Potlatch, and investigated that. I followed through and they said that a minimum lot size for them to cut to a custom thickness is 5,000BF. That's about a year's supply for us at current rate. It may be worth pursuing, though. I will see if there are any local mills willing to do just the re-sawing and planing if we supply the material. Does anyone have leads on sourcing cedar in Central NY? I believe we are getting Western red from Washington and Idaho that is shipped to local retail stores. From contributor M: If all the boxes and trays are consistent, I would check into getting mouldings run for the parts - one profile for the box sides with all the grooves and rabbets, one for the lid's profile, and one for the tray profile. Then you pretty much cut up and assemble everything. Find someone with a moulder and pay the one time tooling charge and an ongoing setup and run charge. You will then have a lot more time to take extra work on or have more fun on the weekends. From contributor U: Contributor M is making an excellent suggestion and I would certainly look into that. We use to buy rough lumber, and saw and plane and mill, etc. We found a parts supplier that provides our components pre-shaped to size with profiles, primed and sanded for the same prices we use to pay for the rough lumber. We eliminated 1/2 of our shop work and much equipment. It’s a major time and expense saver. We now simply bring in the parts and start cutting on the actual orders. Of course our components are standard within the shutter industry, but if you can find a supplier who will mill these parts that would be a huge factor.

XN QUÉBEC RESPONDS TO CHANGES IN SODEC’S PRODUCTION AND SCREENWRITING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS - Xn Québec : Xn Québec menu L'association des producteurs d’expériences numériques S'inscrire à l'infolettre close About Articles and by-laws UDA Agreement Contact us News News (FR) Press releases Submissions and documents MEMBERSHIP Industry’s Next Generation offer Benefits Become a member Member Directory Funding sources directory OVERVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY Québec/Canada XR NUMIX CMF Trends Français info@xnquebec.co arrow_backBack to news XN QUÉBEC RESPONDS TO CHANGES IN SODEC’S PRODUCTION AND SCREENWRITING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS June 26, 2019 SODEC, Quebec’s public agency dedicated to promoting the province’s cultural sector, has recently announced that it is opening its production assistance program to short narrative digital projects (the announcement appears on its site in French only). These projects are defined as fiction or documentary audiovisual works that develop a narrative thread, linear or non-linear, interactive or immersive, which is designed for visual technologies (virtual, augmented or mixed reality) that enable user participation. Under the new guidelines, SODEC’s cumulative financial contribution may reach up to $100,000 and must be used to fund the Quebec portion of the production budget. This financial contribution is provided as subsidy assistance and its upper limit represents a 30% increase over the previous cap thanks to an injection of additional Quebec Cultural Policy funds. The next submission deadline is September 25, 2019. Companies wishing to submit a digital project must, among other requirements, be Quebec-based as per SODEC’s criteria and demonstrate their capacity to support their project. In addition, in the course of the eight years preceding their submission, they must have produced and managed in a professional setting in Quebec (including selection in an official competition at a major festival or on a platform recognized by SODEC) at least one germane audiovisual work. In all cases, companies making a first-ever submission (or making a submission for a project whose production format is different from that of their previous submission) must contact SODEC at least one month prior to the submission deadline to ascertain their eligibility. A step in the right direction, but… The changes to the screenwriting assistance program do not affect short narrative digital projects since such projects remain ineligible to this particular program. That is unfortunate, especially since digital projects would certainly help achieve one of the program’s objectives, namely, to foster screenwriting for high-quality projects in diverse genres that are original, appealing, and able to attract interest in Quebec and abroad. Xn Québec considers SODEC’s decision to grant production funding to digital projects a step in the right direction, which, we hope, will pave the way for more tangible measures designed to foster digital creativity. navigate_beforeA trailer that celebrates Quebec’s digital creativity navigate_beforePrécédent June 5, 2019 Interview with Stefan Berens, Head of Media Entertainment Business Division at Panasonic Canadanavigate_next Suivantnavigate_next

Every time my publisher has a long lunch and gets drunk, he comes back to a long line of people at his door waiting to ask for things. Seriously, people hold out and make a list for when he's absolutely trollied to get what they want. Today is the first long lunch he's taken in months and he's due back anytime now, and already the office is buzzing about who's going to hit him up for what. There's a trick though. You ask and then send him an email thanking him for saying yes to whatever it was so that in a few weeks when he's forgotten and insists you never asked, you have it in writing. Today I'm aiming to get the official ok to go to Thailand for a week on a paid media trip. However I may need to take a number behind the other 5 people waiting to hit him up for things as well.

Kanyinsola Olorunnisola got to discuss with Olawale Ibiyemi (Pamilerin Jacob) recently. Olawale Ibiyemi is a young poet, and a graduate of Babcock University, Nigeria. He was a mentee in the first cohort of the Sprinng Literary Movement Mentorship Programme however, in August, 2018, he will be serving as a mentor in the second cohort of the programme. Pamilerin Jacob is the author of Memoir of Crushed Petals. The major themes in his poems include death, love, abuse and mental illness. His goal of writing is first; to ease internal turmoil and also to shed light on the struggles of mental health patients in Nigeria. Therefore, his poems are often of a confessional nature, taking after the likes of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. Another goal that Olawale has for his writings is, being a voice against the oppression of women, bigotry, tribalism and cultural decadence. Olawale Ibiyemi has won some local poetry competitions. His poem was shortlisted for the Ken Egba Prize for Festival Poetry 2017. His poems have appeared in the anthology These Words Will Cure a Dead Man by Sprinng Literary Movement 2016, 7th issue of the PIN Quarterly Journal 2017, Words, Rhymes & Rhythms website and on other prestigious Nigerian Literary websites. Some of his poems will also appear in the Best New African Poets 2017 Anthology that will be published in 2018. Olawale also writes non-fiction and can only be kidnapped with a cup of ice-cream; chocolate flavour. Read their discussion below: Kanyinsola: Out of curiosity, is Pamilerin Jacob the pen-name or the real name? I see you use both Olawale and Pamilerin for your works online. The Olawale works are more adventurous, particularly "a poem eludes me." Beautiful! Olawale: Some of us change our names to buy a second life. Pamilerin Jacob is Olawale so to speak; I often say he is a teenage boy living in Olawale’s body. Kanyinsola: Congratulations on the success of your recent collection, Memoir of Crushed Petals, which has indeed generated quite the attention since its release earlier this year. How has the reception towards the book been for you? Olawale: Oh, thank you! The reception has been encouraging. Considering the feedback from readers, reviewers, booksellers; I am thrilled that the poems crawled stealthily into people’s bodies. Kanyinsola: Coming upon the title of your work, one senses a deep sadness – or a sort of mourning, perhaps – layering the poems themselves. And that premonition is proven accurate when one does read your work, as there is this a really eternal frustration in your voice. Where does that come from? Olawale: Hmm… Kanyin, I think sadness like a god, is not a respecter of persons. And when that sadness finds root in the soul, all that the mouth will hold are songs of grief. Kanyinsola: You talk a lot about mental health in your interviews, and this work itself is majorly about that, what exactly makes you particularly interested in shedding light on mental health? Is it just a passion or something more personal, because some of your poems actually point to the latter? Olawale: (Laughs) This question ehn. Some pains when they live in our bodies long enough become passions. I can’t help but speak about mental health. We have demonised it for too long as a society. I believe it stems majorly from a place of misunderstanding. I talk about it a lot also so that others will not feel alone in the fight. For mentally ill patients, it can be daunting: fighting illness, and stigma. Kanyinsola: One thing I find interesting about the collection is how it mocks our proneness in Nigeria to tell people with mental illness to toughen up and just…phase through it. And I love how you related it to African masculinity and the unrealistic expectations ascribed to it. How do you think we can reconcile these two – black masculinity and emotional fragility? Can they ever be compatible? Olawale: As I said earlier, our misunderstandings are responsible for such mindsets. The African man is expected to be fierce, hide pain in his ribs, and even when his brain is suffocating, he is expected to lock all windows to this soul and endure the pain, “as a man.” (sigh). To be fierce is to be human, to be weak is also to be human. No one ever says to someone with malaria, “toughen up.” No. We give them the needed attention and care. Black masculinity and emotional fragility are really not mutually exclusive: the more open a flower becomes, the more sun rays it devours, the more eyes can behold his beauty. We have taught our men to be stones, and even found a way to sneak it into our religious doctrines. Kanyin, Jesus cried in Gethsemane, the Buddha expressed grief at the beginning of his ministry, Mohammad cried when he heard his grandson was going to die, and we teach our men to be stones? Kanyinsola: I have, myself, been fascinated by the open conversations I have had recently with different people over mental illness and I can testify that it is such an overlooked issue, as you’d agree. What do you think we can all do to be better, to converse more open-mindedly about mental illness? Olawale: First, would be to stop the demonization of mental illness. Nobody starts a seven-day fast when malaria strikes. What we do is take them to the hospital. When the liver fails, you do not run to a religious home, why do that when the brain hiccups? Personally, I think the demonization of mental illness is a way of shifting blame. It places a huge burden of guilt on the patient. I always reiterate, a million kegs of anointing oil will not cure lack of impulse control in an OCD patient, 50mg of Sertraline, however, will do something wonderful. Also, we as a society, need to stop the criminalization of “attempted suicide.” It is a fear tactic, and it does nothing. Someone with a mental illness is really unperturbed by such laws, that person is looking for an escape from Psychache, and in a society laden with stigma, death is often the warmest room. We are to tackle stigma, rip its head off, burn it at the stake of empathy. Then, societal healing will be monumental. Kanyinsola: Your words can sometimes be rather jarring. For instance, in Jungle Justice, you wrote, when your child steals from the pot/drag him to the town square/douse him in petrol, and tell/a bystander to light a match. And here is another disturbing one: kill your son, slice your wrists/swallow office pins, swallow/the masquerade’s penis. Do you aim for these kinds of surreal images in your work or are they done subconsciously? Olawale: (Bursts into laughter) Kanyin, I often refer to myself as an evangelist of imagery. I speak mostly in pictures. It’s a notion I picked up from the Imagism movement of the 20th century. And because I fetch these images from the subconscious, they are surreal. Let me add that I am a huge fan of Surrealism as an art movement too. It is thoroughly stimulating and most often, shocking. There are times when I murmur to self, that art that doesn’t shock, sucks. Of course, this is not objective truth. But it guides me, nonetheless, -when I write-. ​ Kanyinsola: I remember reading your work somewhere once and then finding out in your bio that you are an Accounting student. How have you reconciled that with your status as a man of the arts? Olawale: Oh that accounting thing, I just graduated this June in fact. I mixed the two by being attentive to the Muse. Some poems attack you in the lecture room, some in the street. I just kept my ears peeled. Kanyinsola: So, how did it begin for you exactly? The writing life. Olawale: Hmm…in my case. My father is a journalist. Mr. Man was always writing. Always churning out news stories, still does so presently. So, you can imagine when the poems came for me. I had no choice but to yield. In 2015 though, I did decide to become serious, when a friend Obafemi Olatunde, saw a primitive poem of mine and said, “to get better, read. Read the traditional forms, the free verse, read everything”. It stuck. I believe that marked a new beginning for me, in writing. Kanyinsola: And who were your earliest influences? Did they mirror what you now write about? Olawale: Earliest influences were Khalil Gibran, Pablo Neruda, Anne Sexton, and Niyi Osundare. I definitely see Khalil everywhere; I even write poems to him. I see Pablo in my incessant need to ask rhetorical questions in poems. Anne Sexton, she taught me to break recklessly unto paper without fear, to use the poems as vehicles of both self-discovery and utter scrutiny. Oh, and Niyi, that sweet old poetic messiah, I see his influence in my line breaks, my constant experimentation with forms, and aphorisms. Kanyinsola: You are an established man in the literary scene, having bagged a couple of honours. And now this book is a major feather to your cap. Where do you go next? Olawale: Kanyin, I go where the Muse leads, my ears are taped to Her lips. Thank you very much for your time Olawale. It was a pleasure having this conversation with you and I hope many writers can learn and become inspired by you. Kanyinsola Olorunnisola is a poet, essayist and writer of fiction. He is the Founder of Sprinng Literary Movement and the author of a chapbook titled In My Country, We're All Crossdressers. 6 Comments Emmanuel Oyerinde 11/7/2018 08:40:53 am Olawale you are a wonderful poet!

"In advocating the advisability of leaving the saber behind in time of war I assume that the cavalry soldier is properly instructed in the use of the pistol mounted, which is certainly not the case now. How could he be with a limited amount of instruction once a year? And yet we have had cases in our Civil War where men, and great numbers of them, have entered the Confederate service without any preliminary instruction whatsoever in the use of fire arms from horseback; these men were put into service almost immediately and were soon taught the importance of a judicious expenditure of ammunition and effective use of the pistol in their charges, etc. Stern necessity is a tremendous impetus for a man to at least attempt to do the right thing at the right time. Constant practice under such circumstances will make a man an expert. Such were Forrest's men, very few of whom, if any, had sabers, and these men learned from constant practice to render a good account of the pistol mounted. The cavalry on both sides in Virginia made many spectacular charges with the saber, but I am not aware of any tremendous havoc having been created on either side by that weapon alone. The cavalrymen of Virginia were taught to rely almost entirely upon the saber in charges; they" would have accomplished the same results as Forrest's men had they been forced to rely on the pistol in the charge. The battle of Trevilian Station, probably the most severe cavalry fight of the war, was fought almost entirely with fire arms, the saber cut very little figure. In the article in the July number of the Journal by the cavalry board, mention is made, " The saber thus used was often not sharpened." This will be the case in an active campaign; either the troopers will be too worn out to keep their sabers sharpened or there will be no facilities at hand for that purpose. It is a question whether the cavalryman will take the trouble to keep a keen edge on his saber."

…” One can use Art as a vessel of remembrance ”… Deep Time; the concept of Geologic Time; a system of chronological measurement that relates stratigraphy (layering of rock layers in the earth) to time. Our own timelines: marked with world war events and volcanic eruptions: it is these explosions of destruction that MARK the passing of our time. The abstract works shown and chosen for Christian Sawalski’s exhibition DEEP TIME, express a strata of peace and conflict. Iron, Salt, Scratching through remnants of charcoal, bitumen and paint, Christian sets the restraints (canvas/other) allowing the materials to decide how to react… his work is in a constant state of chance, flux, decay… an Alchemical, seemingly *magical* process of transformation, creation, combination. MADE IN THE SPACE FOR THE OPENING NIGHT: A site-specific Diptych will be under CONSTRUCTION / DECAY ; rusting, crusting and changing as salt and iron mix... Christian Sawalski's painting and video works have been exhibited throughout different countries in Europe including Germany, Spain, Norway, France and the UK. He also has works in private collections in Australia and across Europe.

Closed-loop ground source heat pump viability assessment and borehole array design two listed public buildings, Yorkshire Carbon Zero Consulting worked closely with Sweco UK and Calderdale Council to develop a GSHP concept and to provide GSHP borehole designs to progress the projects to full tender stage. Calderdale Council are progressing a far-reaching project to replace oil and gas-fired boilers in a number of their large public buildings. An initial viability assessment identified two listed properties as being candidates for installation of ground source heat pump (GSHP) renewable heating systems. Carbon Zero Consulting were contracted to provide an assessment of whether an open-loop or closed-loop borehole system was better suited and to then take the design to a stage suitable for issue of tenders for detailed design and installation. It was quickly established that within the timeframe available for the projects, open-loop was not a viable solution. A detailed geological assessment was then made to support a closed-loop borehole array design model. The geology beneath each site was assessed to be similar in that both required drilling through coal-measures and millstone grit formations. The coal-measures had been mined nearby to each project and so the Coal Authority was consulted and drilling permits obtained. A test borehole was designed and drilled at each site and a thermal response test (TRT) performed on each to measure the thermal conductivity of the drilled formations. The results of the TRT were then utilised within a closed-loop design model to derive borehole array solutions. The resulting test results and geological appraisals were utilised within design-and-build tenders issued to candidate installers. Results of one of the thermal response tests (TRT). One of several model outputs for borehole array temperature and GSHP efficiency. Possible closed-loop borehole array layouts for one of the projects.

The finished hotel and spa with the GSHP abstraction borehole chamber and manhole in the foreground. Grantley Hall Hotel and Spa, North Yorkshire Ground source heat pump and borehole water supply Carbon Zero Consulting worked closely with the Hotel owners and Wheatley M&E Services Ltd to develop the concept and to provide all designs, regulation and implementation for heating, cooling and water supply. The stunning new hotel and spa was developed from an old manor house previously used as a training college. There was insufficient water supply and no gas connection for the new development. The client had a clear commitment to having no visible or audible plant for heating and cooling. A ground source heat pump (GSHP) system was recommended. Carbon Zero Consulting established from an initial test borehole that a closed-loop borehole system was not viable as very strong artesian pressure was identified within the underlying rock formations of the millstone grit. Drilling of a large number of closed-loop boreholes was judged to be not technically possible. The concept of using groundwater in an open-loop GSHP system was developed in parallel with a third borehole to supply water for the hotel and spa facilities. Carbon Zero Consulting worked with Drilcorp Ltd to drill and test two boreholes for the GSHP system and a third for water supply. Drilling in strongly artesian conditions (in excess of 6-bar pressure) was complex but was successfully completed using two ‘strings’ of steel casing, heavily weighted drilling mud and many years of relevant experience. The GSHP abstraction and injection boreholes are separated by over 400m to greatly reduce the potential for thermal interaction. Test-pumping determined that a groundwater flow rate sufficient to provide the heating and cooling demand was available from one borehole, and despite the 6-bar over-pressure, re-injection of the water to the aquifer was found to be viable. Heating and cooling using the flow of groundwater is provided by a skid-mounted IFtech GSHP system located in the hotel plant room. The system has been in operation successfully since 2019. The largest Water Source Heat Pumps in England Soft fruit growing season extended by use of renewable heating Carbon Zero Consulting worked closely with two clients and Ebtech Energy Systems to design, install and provide regulatory compliance for England’s two largest Water Source Heat Pump (WSHP) systems. The first WSHP has been operating on the river Loddon since autumn of 2020 and the second will be completed by the end of 2021 on the river Medway. Each uses renewable heat generated by the 8.8MW heat pump system, allowing the clients to produce soft fruit outside the normal growing season. Domestic production of soft fruit also greatly reduces ‘food- miles’ associated with imports from around the globe. The process began with Carbon Zero Consulting assessing the viability of each river to be a reliable year-round energy source, which would ensure peak load heating during the coldest winter days. This required analysis of river flow, seasonal temperature and optimum locations for the abstraction and discharge structure. A wastewater treatment outflow to the river Loddon was utilised to boost system efficiency. Prior to installation, the Environment Agency regulatory requirements were completed by Carbon Zero. These included an application for abstraction and discharge, a ‘Flood Risk Activity Permit’ and assessment of ecological impact for the peak 640 litres per second river abstraction. The thermal impact on either river was shown by computation to be negligible. The system on the river Loddon operated through the winter/Spring of 2021 with peak load being maintained despite running through some of the coldest temperatures recorded in the last decade. It is estimated that, over the next 20 years the plant will save 44,000 tonnes of carbon emissions when compared to gas heating. A view of the GSHP plant room and pipework connecting to the river abstraction and discharge structure.

Digital acceleration and connectivity advancements have profoundly affected the way we think and work. As the pandemic spread, many businesses adapted to new ways of work. Health and safety also emerged as top priorities, while social distancing means that offices are losing their status as the only workplace. At dtac, we prioritize the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees through two initiatives: 1) Mission SAFE: we launched this program to promote employee wellbeing and safety with a stronger focus on prevention and a new platform to track leading safety indicators. 2) Hybrid work: we were the first organization of our size to announce hybrid work is here to stay, ensuring a resilient future for both the business and employees. Toggle B&W screen can save energy by 20%. Switch now, you are playing a small role in slowing climate change! A New Way of Work An Adecco study titled 'Resetting Normal: Defining the New Era of Work' shows employee preference for hybrid work: Over 53% of employees worldwide enjoy hybrid work, in which more than half of their working hours could be performed remotely. Up to 82% of employees feel that this new approach to working does not affect their productivity and is probably more effective. A Pioneer of Hybrid Work dtac is a pioneer in hybrid work in Thailand. As the country was hit by the first wave of Covid-19, we sent our employees home and quickly shifted to remote work, including our customer service agents. We were also the first organization of our size to announce hybrid work will remain in place post-pandemic. Managing a Health Crisis through Innovative Work Approaches dtac’s innovative work approaches ensure our employees can continue to serve customers amid the pandemic and lockdowns while staying safe, healthy, happy, and empowered. Hybrid Work During the peaks of Covid-19, we asked that 95 percent of our office and call center employees work from home and come to work only when necessary. Sales and network teams adopted alternating teams to ensure uninterrupted service for our customers. Tight-Loose-Tight dtac introduced the ‘tight-loose-tight’ management style where we are tight on expectations, loose on how employees choose to achieve their goals, and tight again on measuring results. Technology Support For a smooth transition to remote work, our employees are provided with the necessary equipment for video conferences, such as ergonomic headphones and unlimited connectivity services. In addition, we also provide a mental health hotline for our employees and continued to organize virtual and inclusive activities, such as cooking class, investment courses, and yoga. Building the Workforce of Tomorrow with Automation dtac has a very clear ambition to automate 100% of all repetitive and rule-based processes by 2023. The technology can boost operational efficiency, reduce employees’ workload from repetitive and routine tasks and free up time for high-valued and creative work. โดยเรามีการพัฒนาเทคโนโลยี ตัวอย่างเช่น การพัฒนาระบบ Agent Assistance ‘ผู้ช่วยมือขวา’ 15% Mission SAFE Fostering a culture of safety Safety at dtac isn’t just about Covid-19. Every year, dtac employees are involved in serious road accidents. We believe these accidents, and others, could be prevented. That’s why dtac is continually building on our culture of safety with Mission SAFE. The project serves as a platform for everyone to actively participate by raising awareness and clearly defining safety responsibilities within each team. Synergi LIFE Reporting all risks to prevent accidents In the past, dtac always reported and recorded accidents, but we have taken our safety culture one step further and asked every employee to self-report incidents, including near misses and unsafe conditions. This is why we have launched a platform called Synergi LIFE, which allows employees to report unsafe acts, unsafe work conditions, accidents, and near misses by themselves. The platform helps foster a culture of safety across dtac and prevents accidents related to work through proactive safety measures and monitoring by employees. All reports will go straight to the Health & Safety team who will study their causes and find solutions to avoid serious accidents. “During the past few years, the view on safety and covid has been constantly changing. We keep collecting new information all the time and can’t stop learning about it. Safety becomes more fluid and unpredictable, so you need the ability to deal with ambiguity, be ready to change, and prepare for the worst.”

Judges might run in nonpartisan elections, but there's no lack of perception that party politics plays a role when they're appointed to fill a vacancy between elections. Lots of judges time their retirements to allow the governor of their favored party the chance to appoint replacements, who then take the assumed advantage of incumbency into the next election. Gov. Scott Walker has named 17 people to the circuit and appellate bench since he took office, and most have some obvious Republican credentials, just like a lot of appointees of Gov. Jim Doyle were Democrats. One pending appointment in Marinette County, expected this month, has generated an unusual level of cynicism and bitterness. James Morrison was so confident Walker would appoint him judge, he moved to Wisconsin from Michigan last year, just one of many actions Morrison took that raised concern among the community about the appearances of an inside job. Marinette has only two circuit judges, and any vacancy usually draws much interest. But in the end only Morrison and Michael Perry applied to replace Tim Duket, who formally notified Walker in November that he would retire in early January. Duket had told area lawyers much earlier that he might step down. A native of Marinette, Perry doesn't mind some competition but said he felt Morrison's attitude tainted the whole image of the court as an impartial, nonpartisan branch of government. Weeks after Morrison had been prepping for the job, Duket emailed the Marinette County Bar Association to let them know the governor was now formally accepting applications. Morrison's response to the recipient list - "There is a vacancy? I had no idea" - set Perry off. He reacted, then hit reply all. "Quite frankly, I'm offended by your comments and assumptions that no one else needs to apply because you have been preselected for this judicial appointment before it was even first advertised by Governor Walker and then you quip in your email, i.e., 'wink, wink. - I didn't even know there was a vacancy.' "The public already lacks confidence in our political process - your attempt at humor does not help." Morrison said he felt he had to reply to the same audience. "It is completely unfair and inaccurate to say or suggest that I have carried myself in any way like the anointed successor. I have not. Many people have kidded me in the Courthouse about my future - but I have not encouraged that nor assumed it," Morrison responded, also to everyone on the email list. "Frankly your comments are off the wall and insulting." Judge defends timing Duket, 57, denied that he ever favored Morrison and notes that he has nothing to do with selecting his successor. He said the timing of his retirement was for his own reasons and not meant to give Walker's appointee the advantage of more than a year in office before facing election. He did say Morrison was the most eager and aggressive among local lawyers in accepting Duket's offer to show interested parties the inside workings of his job. Duket also expected Morrison to get the nod because he's "the Republican, conservative, Fox News type" who has been active in GOP politics, working for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser in his election last year. But Duket said he thought Perry also is qualified to hold the job. "Morrison can get the appointment, but it's not clear to me he can win an election," Duket said. In the end, only Morrison and Perry sought the appointment. District Attorney Allen Brey, who Duket thought would be interested, did not seek the job. "I'm not in the same party as the governor," Brey said. "I enjoy serving as district attorney and plan to continue doing so." Ten of Walker's judicial appointees have been DAs or assistant DAs, but none was elected as Democrats. Tom Schwaba, president of the Marinette County Bar Association, said the community in general felt Morrison had Duket's job sewn up, mostly because of how he talked about it. "It just doesn't sit well with people, they accuse him of carpetbagging and that sort of thing," Schwaba said. "But there's nothing illegal about it. If he lives in Wisconsin, he can get appointed." Both called qualified Schwaba and Duket each said both Perry and Morrison are qualified for the job. Perry is a former sheriff's deputy who ran as a Republican against his boss in 1982 and was fired shortly after losing the election. He sued in federal court and took his roughly $80,000 damages and went to law school. Morrison, a Chicago native, has been practicing law in Marinette since 1976. He said he lived in Michigan all those years because his wife was the elected clerk for Menominee County - across the Menominee River from Marinette - and was required to reside there. She retired a few years ago, went to law school at Marquette University and is now in a position to take over much of his practice, he said, which for the first time gave him the chance to become a judge. He said that during his wife's swearing in the Wisconsin bar last spring, he was encouraged to seek the bench by a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. "If I don't get appointed, I won't care," said Morrison, who still owns his Menominee dream home, though it is listed for sale. "I have a great life."

A solid state drive (SSD) device stores data persistently using flash memory. Learn about SSDs, including different types, how they vary from HDDs, and more. A solid state drive (SSD) is a device that uses flash memory to provide persistent, non-volatile storage. That means it retains data when the power is shut off. This type of storage device can be used to boot your system, store your applications, and save your personal files. The predecessors of modern SSD technology emerged in the 1950s and were used in high-end supercomputers in the 1970s and 1980s. However, their high price points and low storage capacities limited their efficacy. As hardware improvements helped lower the costs, SSDs started to appear in consumer devices. On a technical level, SSDs work by saving files on a grid or block of NAND flash memory. The controller of the SSD uses the logical block address (LBA) to locate information almost instantaneously. We’ll explain what you should know about SSDs and their benefits, uses, designs, and lifespans. How does an SSD differ from an HDD? SSDs and HDDs are both popular types of non-volatile storage devices. However, they differ in their technology. A hard disk drive (HDD) used to be the standard, but the technology is increasingly losing its foothold as SSD sales outpace HDD sales. A hard drive relies on a spinning disk with magnetically stored data. An arm with transducers writes and reads data from the disk. Meanwhile, an SSD uses flash memory without moving parts for speedy retrieval. Because of their technological differences, HDDs tend to be more affordable and have larger capacities. On the other hand, SSDs tend to be faster, lighter, smaller, quieter, more durable, and more energy efficient. However, they also tend to be pricier and have lower capacities. How does an SSD differ from a flash drive? While the terms “SSD” and “flash drive” are sometimes used interchangeably, they have some key differences. Like SSDs, flash memory does not rely on moving parts. It can be used in a USB flash drive, cell phone, memory card, and/or SSD. But while most SSDs use flash storage, some do not. Therefore, using “flash drive” to mean “SSD” is like saying you had club soda when you actually had a mixed drink. Sure, your drink may or may not have had club soda in it. But focusing exclusively on this one component could be confusing. What are the benefits of a solid state drive? SSDs are rapidly gaining popularity due to their wide range of potential benefits. Here are a few traits that draw business users to SSDs instead of HDDs: Faster: Without moving parts, SSDs boast much faster read/writes speeds. SSDs can perform up to 20 times faster than hard drives, increasing speed and performance, decreasing load times, reducing lag, and allowing programs to run more quickly. Lighter: HDDs require multiple component parts, the weight of which adds up. In contrast, SSDs tend to be much lighter. Some SSDs weigh under 10 grams, while HDDs typically weigh at least 85 grams. Smaller: SSDs can be quite small. The M.2 2242 format measures 22 mm by 42 mm, which is around .87 inches by 1.7 inches. In contrast, the smallest hard drive generally measures around 2.7 inches by 4.0 inches. Quieter: Since SSDs lack moving mechanical parts, they are silent. Meanwhile, even the quietest traditional HDD produces some sound and vibration. More durable: SSDs don’t have moving parts, limiting the opportunities for something to go wrong. This also makes them better able to withstand falls, shaking, and general wear and tear that might break a traditional hard drive. More energy efficient: Because SSDs lack moving parts, they consume less energy. Not only can this lower your energy bill and preserve your laptop battery, but it can also make your computer run cooler. While it may seem like upgrading to an internal SSD is a win-win situation, there are some notable drawbacks. SSDs tend to be more expensive than HDDs. Their durability and longevity can ultimately save you money, but the higher upfront cost may deter some customers. Additionally, SSDs typically have lower storage capacities than HDDs, typically maxing out at around 4 TB compared to an HDD’s 10 TB. What is a solid state drive used for? Solid state drives are favored in high-performance settings, like research labs and technologically advanced businesses. If speed and efficiency are of the essence, the extra expense is often well worth it. An SSD may be especially beneficial in the following contexts: Computer programming Programming environments contain large amounts of data. An SSD improves performance, saving you time whenever you boot up the OS, load projects, and compile code. Data analysis Working with big data requires strong system performance. SSDs are well suited to tasks that require high-volume data analysis, including data science, business analytics, and machine learning. Productivity-focused businesses Businesses that prioritize productivity frequently prefer SSDs due to their speed. For instance, an HDD may take about 14.25 seconds to load Microsoft Word, while an SSD takes around 1.54 seconds. Over the course of a workweek, those extra seconds can make a big difference. Mobile computing SSDs are a natural fit for mobile computing. Their smaller size and lower weight work well for even the thinnest laptops. Additionally, SSDs use less energy, enhancing the battery life. As an added bonus, the lack of moving parts makes them less likely to break in a fall, reducing the risk of data loss if your device takes a tumble. Servers Using an enterprise-class SSD server can improve reliability, enhance efficiency and performance, and lower operating expenses. Gaming While you might be hard-pressed to convince your boss your company needs an SSD to support your gaming habit, SSDs are well suited to the task. Popular games rely on reading and writing files, so speeding up the process with an SSD can help keep everything moving along smoothly. What are the different types of SSDs? Solid state drives vary based on their protocols, connection types, and form factors. Because an SSD can be defined by several criteria, it can fall into multiple categories. For instance, an PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD uses the PCIe interface, the NVMe protocol, and the M.2 form factor. Common types of SSDs include the following: Interfaces SATA SSD Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) SSDs have been the most common solid state drives for years. However, other types, like NVMe, are becoming increasingly popular. Designed specifically for storage, SATA SSDs use the same interface as HDDs, so they’re compatible with the vast majority of desktops and laptops. However, they tend to be on the slower side compared to other SSDs. The 2.5-inch version is most common because it is compatible with older computers. Speeds typically range from 500 to 600 megabytes per second (Mbps). You may see options labeled “SATA 2,” “SATA II,” “SATA 3,” and/or “SATA III.” These second- and third-generation versions boast higher transfer speeds. PCIe SSD Peripheral Component Interconnect express (PCIe) SSDs are among the fastest options on the market. With a high-speed interface and greater bandwidth, these expansion cards are plugged into a slot on the motherboard to improve the performance. PCIes are widely used as motherboard interfaces for graphics cards, Wi-Fi, hard drives, SSDs, and other high-performance peripherals. Protocols NVMe SSD Initially designed for graphics cards, Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) SSDS are known for their superior performance and response times. While they’re more expensive and use more power than SATA SSDs, NVMe SSDs can support intensive computer processes since they’re up to 10 times faster than SATA SSDs. You’ll often see the phrase “NVMe SSD,” but NVMe is technically a transport protocol that is often used with PCIe-based SSDs. AHCI SSD Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a protocol/interface specification that’s standard for SATA SSDs. Since it was originally developed for HDD, it has high latency. Form factors 2.5-inch SSD The standard form factor for SSDs is 2.5 inches. A 2.5-inch SSD fits in most laptops and desktops because it is the same size as an HDD. M.2 SSD Formerly known as Next Generation Form Factors (NGFFs), M.2 SSDs are small, flat, and rectangular. These tiny sticks are more expensive than traditional 2.5-inch SATA SSDs. Because of their small size, they’re popular in mobile devices and ultra-thin laptops. However, they can also work in other computers as long as the motherboard has an appropriate slot. Size options include 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110. The first two numbers indicate the width in millimeters, while the last numbers represent the length in millimeters. The speed of an M.2 SSD depends on whether it is SATA based or PCIe based. U.2 SSD Like most SATA drives, a U.2 SSD measures 2.5 inches. The performance of a U.2 SSD is generally on par with an M.2 SSD. However, a U.2 SSD is bigger and has a higher capacity. The U.2 SSD uses a cable to connect to the motherboard. mSATA SSD and mPCIe SSD mSATA and mPCIe SSDs are smaller versions of SATA and PCIe SSDs, respectively. They have similar performances to their larger counterparts, but their size makes them ideal for ultra-thin laptops, cell phones, and tablets. They come in two sizes: 30 mm by 50.95 mm 30 mm by 26.8 mm What are hybrid drives and dual drives? In the mid-2000s, hybrid drives entered the marketplace. The idea behind them was to incorporate a flash memory cache with an HDD to improve the performance while maintaining a budget-friendly price point. Now that SSDs are getting more affordable, hybrid drives are fading in popularity. However, anyone who needs a combination of quick booting and abundant storage may still appreciate the design. Dual drives use a similar concept to hybrid drives, but they use an SSD as the primary drive with an HDD for extra file storage. This leads to fast speeds without sacrificing storage space. What is the life expectancy of an SSD? Anticipating their life expectancy is no easy task. Ultimately, the lifespan depends on more than just age alone. The total number of terabytes written over time (TBW) and the drive writes per day (DWPD) also impact how long your SSD will last. SSD manufacturers use wear leveling to evenly distribute the number of writes across all blocks on the drive. This helps ensure even wear and improves SSD longevity. In general, most cheaper SSDs can be expected to last 5 to 10 years. However, some high-end SSDs may last for 20 years or more. Routine maintenance can help extend the life of an SSD and optimize its performance. Consider these tips: Avoid traditional defragmentation tools: In the best-case scenario, defragging an SSD will have no effect. However, it could also use write cycles without enhancing the performance, effectively shortening the SSD’s lifespan with no noticeable benefits. Run TRIM: The TRIM command allows the operating system to tell the SSD which data blocks are no longer needed and can be deleted. This helps limit unnecessary erasing and rewriting that could shorten an SSD’s lifespan. Maintain a neutral temperature: Running hot may increase the wear of the flash memory inside the drive. Update firmware: Updating the SSD firmware can help address technical issues and keep your SSD running smoothly. When should you replace an SSD? The answer is remarkably simple: You should replace an SSD when it fails. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to anticipate when exactly an SSD will fail, but they typically last 5 to 10 years. As long as you regularly backup your data, there’s no reason why you can’t keep using your SSD right up to the bitter end. Investing in high-quality external hard drives for backups may be a better investment than replacing your SSD due to age alone. That said, you might use an SSD health check tool to estimate its current status. The following symptoms can also hint that your SSD may be nearing its demise: A file cannot be read or written Active applications freeze or crash Crashes during boot Errors occur when moving files Error messages appear saying the PC or file system needs repair Performance slows The SSD becomes read-only How to choose the right SSDs for your devices Investing in SSDs can enhance your business’s productivity, but that doesn’t mean you can buy just any SSD and expect optimal performance. Selecting the right SSDs requires weighing key factors: Determine your budget SSDs are typically more expensive than HDDs, though prices have been dropping as technology improves. Even within SSDs, pricing varies. More traditional technology, like SATA, is generally cheaper than better-performing options, such as NVMe. For instance, 500 GB SATA SSDs start at around $50, whereas you can expect to pay $70 or more for an equivalent NVMe SSD. While higher-end SSDs generally cost more upfront, they often pay for themselves over their lifespans thanks to their enhanced speed and durability. Consider the type of device The size of your device dictates what SSDs fit. Smaller devices, like ultra-thin laptops and tablets, often need smaller, more expensive SSDs. However, most standard desktops and laptops can accommodate standard 2.5-inch SSDs. Check compatibility Most SSDs are compatible with most computers and motherboards as long as you have the right connector. However, it’s worth the extra effort to confirm compatibility before purchasing an SSD. Assess the storage capacity SSDs traditionally have less storage than HDDs, but their capacity is growing. Larger capacity SSDs are often more cost efficient, but getting more storage than you’ll use can unnecessarily increase your expense. You can get a good idea of how much storage you need by looking at your current usage. Then, add about 20% to allow some wiggle room. The smallest common SSD capacity is 128 GB, while many options go up to 1 TB or 2 TB. Businesses looking to speed up boot times often opt for options with at least 500 GB. However, functions that lean on large collections of files, like editing photos, music, or videos, typically call for at least 1 TB.

The venue was the Aspley Guise & Woburn Sands Golf Club and the proceeds raised were donated to OOSO. OOSO was the guest of honour and were made extremely warm and welcome. We tried to dress with a "tartan" influence but could not match the other guests nor the entertainers - some of whom had travelled from Scotland. Gordon seems tireless. His endeavours have resulted in more than £3,000 being raised for OOSO. A tremendous effort and a huge help in our mission to buy ICU Beds for The Churchill Hospital in Oxford. Not only did he organise the evening, but Gordon also persuaded the club to provide two vouchers for golfers to play the course. Details about these vouchers are described below. And There's More Aspley Guise & Woburn Sands Golf Club Founder members were Messrs. Tarver, Pettit, Walker, Harris, Needham and Stonbridge. The original 9 holes were designed by the late Sandy Herd in 1912 and constructed by Charles Willmott who remained as the Club Professional for 42 years. The Course was opened for play in May 1914. Four well known professionals were invited to play an exhibition match on the opening day. They were Sandy Herd, Ted Ray, Tom Ball and B. Batley. The lowest score of the day was returned by Tom Ball with a score of 68 for 18 holes. In 1972 further land was purchased and another 9 holes designed by Robert Sandow. The full 18 holes were opened for play on May 25th 1974. Further information can be found in an article displayed on the Woburn Sands History website Try It Yourself Gordon has been allocated two vouchers. Each voucher is for Woburn golf club which is in the top 100 courses, and for Aspley Guise golf club. Both vouchers entitle four people to play one round of golf on each course. The vouchers are valid on Monday and Wednesday, excluding Bank Holidays, teeing off after 11:00 am. Handicap restrictions are Gents: 24 and Ladies 36.
