Boston Celtics takeaway No. 1) An offensive clinic for the C’s The calling card for this Boston Celtics team all year long has been their stingy defensive identity, but do not sleep on an offense that is rounding into form. A nightly notable was the C’s hitting 17 of their 42 treys which were good near 41 percent on the night. An awesome mark for any team, but this is a 360-degree change from a team that could not hit the side of a barn standing on a farm earlier in the year. A trigger point for effective 3-point shooting is an unselfish display of team-oriented basketball, guys passing up good shots for greater shots. Eyes always up to hit the open teammate and dissect an opposing Nets defense that ranks 28th in the league. The two-man game between these two is among the best in the NBA. Boston had seven players in double figures to lead a very balanced offensive attack. An attack that used to be largely dependent on huge outings from the Jays. Now, it’s about the team and how everyone can work to make the right basketball play. Right now, the Boston Celtics are looking like a contender with a top defense and middle-of-the-pack offense. Imagine what they will look like if the offense continues this stellar play to end the season.

Right about now, management teams from firms all over our industry are gathering around conference tables to make plans for next year. And one of the key items on every one of those agendas is, “What’s our sales* goal for 2023?” [*For those of you afraid of the word “sales,” insert “revenue” here.] Too often, the management team will defer to the president or CEO, who picks a number ‘out of the air’ because that’s what he/she would like to see happen in the next year. Sadly, very little thinking has gone into the president’s sales goal… it’s mostly gut feel and hope. Don’t be that executive. Take a little extra time to set more well-thought-out and – ultimately – more accurate sales goals by considering the three different parts of setting those goals: #1. Revenue from Existing Clients The first priority of your sales function should be to shore up your current client base. Most firms in our industry, have a fairly finite number of clients… maybe 20, 30 or 40. If that’s the case for you, conduct an account-by-account review of every one of them, discussing: - General knowledge of the client. For example, what’s your ‘share of wallet’ there? What’s trending in their industry? Do they have any new products in the pipeline? How are your relationships throughout the organization? Are there opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling? Etc. This fundamental knowledge will help in your decision making. - What was your revenue with them in 2022? (And in 2021 and 2020, for that matter?) - 2023 Sales Goals. Based on where that client is now and what you know about them, what level of sales can you achieve there in 2023? - And most importantly, how are you going to achieve that goal? That is, what are the detailed activities – for each client – you will use to hit the sales goal you wrote down above? - Now, add up the sales goals for each of those clients and Part 1 is done. #2. New Business Acquisition Now that your core business is secure, it’s time to go after some new revenue. How? Back into it… start with the sales goal in mind, then figure out the level of activity you need to achieve to get there. - Let’s say you want to get to $500,000 in new business next year. And you know that your average project size is $50,000… so you need 10 new projects in 2023 to achieve that goal. - And since you win about 40% of your bids, you’ll need to submit 25 proposals next year. - And since you’re asked to submit a proposal after about half of your capabilities presentations, you’ll need to deliver 50 of those next year. That’s about one every week. - And capability presentations come after conversations with prospective buyers… and those conversations are a result of follow-up on sales leads that are generated. See where this is going… your sales goal for new business is really about setting goals for all of the activity leading up to it. So, here’s the real question… How many new sales leads can your firm generate next year… and how are you going to do it? #3. ‘Subset’ Sales Goals While the sales goals detailed above are client-focused (and that’s a good thing), sometimes, you need to be a little self-centered and set some goals that are internally focused. These could also be viewed as “subsets” of the primary sales goals above and ladder-up to help achieve them. For example: - Revenue by product/service line: to support a newly-launched service line or one that might be lagging a bit. - Revenue by industry/market served: to support the industry where you claim specialization or one that also might be lagging a bit. - Revenue by sales rep/seller-doer: especially if you have a team of them and are paying commissions. - Revenue by geography: particularly for those larger organizations with a global footprint. When you drill down like this, you provide yourself the opportuointy to be more specific with the kinds of activities you’ll use to achieve your goals. As we started off this article, now is the time to start crafting your growth plans for next year. But as you do that, take just a little extra time to carefully set your sales goals and then use them to guide your growth activities. Make 2023 the year you get serious about selling! Are you a researcher, project manager, practice leader or business owner who’s gotten ‘stuck’ with the responsibility of growing revenue… and could use a little help improving your sales effort (and results)?

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. — Incorporating ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems into a programming competition helped Penn State Harrisburg broaden access to and attract a diverse field of more than 130 student participants. The competition was hosted by the School of Business Administration and the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology. Organizers decided to incorporate ChatGPT — an AI-driven chatbot — in order to reach more students and harness interest in a new technology. When the ChatGPT prototype was launched in late November 2022, Jeremy Blum, associate professor of computer science at Penn State Harrisburg, was fresh off helping organize a global programming competition. Programming competitions typically pose a series of algorithmic puzzles that participants need to write a computer program to solve, he said. The launch of the AI tool prompted the organizers to have “something like an existential crisis,” he said, because users could simply ask ChatGPT to write the program for them. “How do you organize a global contest when you have access to these tools?” Blum asked. So, when second-year Penn State Harrisburg student Sarah Shaub, president of the campus Women in Tech club, approached Blum this spring about hosting a programming competition on campus, he suggested ChatGPT be part of the contest. Shaub said she immediately liked the idea because she thought it would even things out between computer science students and others. Shaub is a cybersecurity analytics and operations major, which only incorporates a little bit of programming, for example. Barriers to access and participation for women and underrepresented minority students are cited in competitive programming literature, organizers said. “We found that ChatGPT leveled the playing field for programmers versus non-programmers and broadened access and participation of diverse students in the competition,” said Roderick Lee, associate professor of information systems. “In fact, the 52 teams represented the richness of diversity that the college offers.” Developing the competition Blum enlisted the help of two computer science graduate students, Devang Jayachandran and Pranit Maldikar, to develop the problem set for the competition. They had already worked with Blum on a conference paper where they examined ChatGPT and what it could do in the context of programming contests. “We had a pretty good sense of its capabilities — what kinds of problems it could solve, what kind it couldn’t completely solve,” Blum said. “We worked to come up with a problem set that would require the students to interact with ChatGPT. So, ChatGPT would certainly help get them started but wouldn’t solve completely for most of the problems.” Shaub promoted the competition around campus and visited classes to make a quick pitch. She’d first start by asking how many students had used ChatGPT — and she found most students raised their hands. The organizers hoped for 50 competitors, but around 135 students participated. “While the turnout for the event was beyond anything we had hoped for, the real measure of success for me was to see how much students’ confidence grew by the end of the competition, which can be attributed to Dr. Blum and his vision to use ChatGPT to create an unconventional competition,” said Kelsey Kirk, faculty adviser for the Women in Tech organization. Blum said the novelty of ChatGPT increased interest, both among students and faculty. He noted that some political science students participated because their professor thought it would be good to expose them to it. “These tools are going to have sort of society-wide impacts,” Blum said. Jayachandran noted that programming competitions typically have a high bar for entry — one has to know a lot of programming to participate. “Our contest allowed even amateurs to be able to compete because the base template for the code itself would most often be generated by ChatGPT,” he said, noting that this approach made the most sense as AI-tools evolve. “You can’t really take ChatGPT away in a lot of cases. It makes more sense to embrace the existence of it and kind of work along with it.” Maldikar said ChatGPT still doesn’t eliminate the need to understand the underlying question being asked. “If you are solving a question, you need to understand what the question is,” he said. “If you simply copy and paste, in my experience, that won’t work. ChatGPT can get you started and be a really helpful tool to start the problem — but you need to understand the problem.” He added that students could even use ChatGPT to learn about the concepts used in a problem. Blum said all the teams earned some points, most of them solved multiple problems and they were engaged throughout. “Given that we had a wide range of students participating — most brand new to competitive programming — that says a lot about the scaffolding these tools can provide and, ultimately, how they can broaden participation [in programming competitions],” Blum said. Shaub expressed gratitude for support from Gretta Kellogg and Soundar Kumara from Penn State’s Center for Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Industry, as well as from Harrisburg LaunchBox for a financial contribution. A necessary tool to learn Mark Peschel, a computer science major and one of the first-place winners at the competition, said he was surprised the first time he played around with ChatGPT, finding it impressive. ChatGPT can be treated like a “much more clever Google,” he said, and it makes it easier to ask questions that might be more difficult to look up using traditional approaches. For example, he was writing code for a website and could not figure out why it wasn’t working. Traditional web searching wasn’t helping him find the answer. Querying ChatGPT led him to a better search term, which then helped him get better results. “Machine learning and AI are going to be the future,” Peschel said. “The use of these tools is going to be important to anyone in that career field.” Blum said there are estimates that 20% to 30% of computer code is currently written by generative AI — and that is expected to grow. As such, Blum said, it’s important to think about how computing education needs to change to prepare students for a transforming workforce. “These tools are going to provide tremendous productivity boosts to [students and workers], but they really need to know how to use them effectively, [including] the limitations,” he said, adding that the ability to analyze and review code becomes even more essential when the code is created by ChatGPT or other AI. “I’m excited to think about how we incorporate these tools into the curriculum. I think it’s critical that we do so.” Winners of the programming competition at Penn State Harrisburg were: - Mark Peschel, computer science - Tyler Lindsay, computer science - Mohamud Abubakar, information sciences and technology - Abemelek Badebo, computer science - Dave Nyaga, information sciences and technology - Bardan Phuyel, computer science - Joshua Carson, computer science - Maliha Doria, computer science - Siri Hegde, computer science

Emma Hoey, Midleton I first started going to colette when I was about 26 weeks pregnant with severe lower back and pelvic pain, so bad I was having great difficulty walking and dressing myself. Colette worked miricles and after two sessions I was painfree and able to get around and continue working. I went back to colette when Roisin was born due to severe back and rib pain and again she worked wonders and I was soon pain free. During one of these sessions I mentioned to Colette how unsettled Roisin was, very poor to feed, poor to bring up wind and at this stage she was screaming in pain after each bottle despite comfort formula and colic relief drops. Her colic and reflux was so bad she couldn’t even lie flat to have her nappy changed and was sleeping propped up on pillows. Roisin had here first session of craniosacral therapy with colette at about 5 weeks old and my only regret was that I hadn’t brought her sooner. I could see an improvement after the first session and after the second session she was a complete different baby, no more feeding problems and no distress for her or me after each feed. She is 5 months old now and loves tummy time and sleeps on her back and isn’t bothered by colic or reflux. I have recommended Colette to alot of family and friends especially friends who have new babies because she worked wonders on Roisin and for that i will be forever greatful.

The Fascinating Evolution of Boxing Gloves: A Journey Through History Boxing, a sport known for its raw power and skill, has been practiced for centuries. Throughout its rich history, the evolution of boxing gloves has played a crucial role in shaping the sport we know today. In this article, we will journey through time to explore the fascinating history of boxing gloves, from their humble beginnings to the advanced designs we see in the ring today. Boxing gloves trace their origins back to ancient times. The earliest evidence of boxing-like contests dates back to ancient Egypt, around 3000 BCE. However, in these early matches, the fighters did not wear gloves but wrapped their hands in cloth or leather strips to protect their knuckles. The Rise of Bare-Knuckle Boxing: As boxing evolved, bare-knuckle boxing became increasingly popular. Matches were fierce and brutal, with bare fists causing severe injuries, including broken bones and lacerations. The lack of protective gear led to a rise in fatalities, raising concerns about the sport's safety. The Birth of Modern Boxing Gloves: In the mid-18th century, the need for protective gear became evident, leading to the birth of modern boxing gloves. Jack Broughton, an English bare-knuckle boxer, introduced the first recorded set of rules for boxing in 1743. Broughton's rules included the use of padded gloves to minimize injuries and provide some protection to the fighters. The Marquess of Queensberry Rules: In 1867, the Marquess of Queensberry Rules were introduced, revolutionizing the sport of boxing. These rules required gloves, further emphasizing the importance of safety. The gloves used during this period were relatively light, weighing around 4 to 6 ounces, and offered limited padding. The Evolution of Glove Design: Over the years, advancements in technology and materials allowed the development of more effective and protective boxing gloves. The early 20th century witnessed the introduction of laced-up gloves, providing a more secure fit and greater wrist support. The padding also improved, reducing the risk of serious injuries. The Introduction of Sparring Gloves: As the sport evolved, the need for gloves specifically designed for sparring arose. Sparring gloves are larger and heavier than competition gloves, offering enhanced protection for both fighters during training sessions. They are designed to absorb impact and reduce the likelihood of injuries. Modern Boxing Gloves: Today, boxing gloves have reached new levels of sophistication. The designs now incorporate state-of-the-art materials, such as synthetic leather and advanced padding materials, to maximize protection and durability. The padding is strategically distributed to safeguard the hands and wrists, reducing the risk of fractures and other injuries. Boxing gloves are subject to stringent regulations for fair competition and fighter safety. The weight of gloves is standardized for different weight classes, and they undergo rigorous testing to meet quality standards. The evolution of boxing gloves has mirrored the growth and development of the sport itself. From bare-knuckle fighting to the present-day technologically advanced designs, the primary goal has always been to provide protection and minimize injuries. The progress made in glove design has made boxing safer and enabled fighters to showcase their skills without compromising their well-being. As boxing continues to captivate audiences worldwide, the evolution of boxing gloves will undoubtedly continue, adapting to the needs of the sport and ensuring its longevity for generations to come.

It might be surprising to learn that one of the most powerful tools for teaching children during early development is the humble building block. And yet, according to Cynthia Willmarth, Early Education Quality Coach for Child Care Aware (CCA) of Kentucky at the University of Kentucky Human Development Institute (HDI), they can have a profound impact on children in their earliest years. “If you look at an early childhood curriculum, we talk about cognitive development, which is language, science, math, and all those things. We talk about social/emotional development, which includes learning to take turns, cooperate, being part of a social group, and physical development, which is both large motor and small motor,” Willmarth said. According to Willmarth, blocks can help young children learn every one of these concepts. She compared blocks, which allow for endless creativity to something like a puzzle, which only has one solution. The Block Project aims to help early childhood educators harness the power of that tool. Funded by the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood through the 0-5 Early Childhood Regional Collaborative with support from CCA Coaches, this effort is a model for partnership and teamwork. Mary Howard, HDI’s Division Director for Early Childhood, says, “This was a wonderful collaboration that built on our community partnerships in the region. A great opportunity for our CCA coaches to expand the knowledge of child care providers while also modeling locally and nationally a way to build strong partnerships that benefit all”. Child Care Aware coaches developed a curriculum around blocks, shared ways to make an effective block center, identified the kind of materials that go in block centers and discussed the teacher’s role. “But it’s not so simple as putting a bunch of wooden blocks on the floor and letting kids do what they will. You need the proper equipment and the proper training. To get a set of unit blocks or a set of hollow blocks with the necessary shelves for proper organization and storage, you’re looking at probably $1,000…if you have ten classrooms, that’s $10,000,” Willmarth said. There are many times that a federal program will provide a quality set of blocks and everything you need to make them work…but not the training to understand how to unlock their full potential. According to Linda Fowles, an Early Education Safety Coach with Child Care Aware, that training is essential too. “I don’t think they do understand the potential of the materials,” Fowles said. This is a big part of what makes the Block Project special – most trainings do not provide the materials, and often when schools receive funding for blocks, the training to use them correctly doesn’t come with it. The Block Project provides both. “I think that’s why this project left such an impression,” Fowles said. “That was another very important component of this training, to share simple information and simple concepts with them. Not only did they receive these expensive materials…the teachers also learned these very simple concepts.” The results, Fowles said, spoke for themselves. “They were stunned at how much the children enjoyed playing in the blocks,” she said. “They were so impressed with it that they talked to their school administrators about ordering more sets of blocks for other classrooms. Until they were exposed to this project, they didn’t realize the importance of these materials.” Almost 20 different programs have participated in the Block Project, each receiving at least $1,000 worth of materials.

Mom and Dad are super pleased with me and think I am the best baby ever. I am looking forward to meeting you all. See you around HeadStart!” Good News! Increased Free ASPs for Term 2 & 3 We are very pleased to let you know that as of term 2 we are increasing the number of free ASP options available for Terms 2 & 3 from around 80 to over 125 sessions per week. This means that all Primary and Secondary students will now be able to enrol in 2 free ASPs per week including clubs, sports, boosters and selected VAPs. The other good bit of news is that EAL enrolments will no longer count toward a student’s two free Asps. Stay tuned for a new list of Term 2 activities that will be posted on the website and on the bulletin board early December.

There are complaints from parents and even the children, that the smell of car fumes permeates the playground and is very unpleasant to walk through when leaving school. Please show consideration for those around you, as well as for the environment and turn off your engine when parked in school. School Jacket Reminder School management would like to remind students in Years 1-13 that if you are cold, you should wear a school jacket. This is a school rule that will be enforced so parents, please support us in making sure your child is equipped with the correct clothing. The school shop is fully stocked and all sizes are available for purchase. Please be reminded that students up to Year 11 are not allowed to use mobile phones in school from 8.00 am to 3.20 pm (except for Friday as school ends at 3.00 pm) unless they have specific permission from a member of the teaching team. Sixth Form students are allowed to use their phones in school as they have been entrusted with greater responsibility and have privileges that students in years under do not have. Reminder About Student Jewelry, Hair and Makeup As is stipulated in the Student and Parent handbooks, hair must be neat, hygienic and presentable. Long hair must be tied back. Any hair colouring should look natural and be in accordance with the student’s natural hair colour. Highlights are not allowed in school. No extreme hairstyles are allowed in school. One plain stud per ear is permitted. Large stones, loops or hanging earrings are not allowed. One discreet, plain necklace is allowed. Only clear nail varnish may be used. Visible tattoos or visible body piercing (including tongue) are not permitted. Students in breach of the rules will be sent home to rectify the problem. The Head and Deputy Head of Secondary are the final arbiters. University Application Success Many HeadStart graduates apply to university after they have left school, and we try to give them all the support they need to be successful. With the start of the academic year in February, Australia is an increasingly popular destination for our students. For more information about university destinations and the support available at HeadStart please contact Ms Indu Bedi or K.Gem in Sixth Form. Good News for the Fitness Gym Welcome back to Chai who will be taking care of our HeadStart community in the fitness suite between the hours of 15.30-18.00 Monday to Friday. -Mr Carter, Athletics Director |UPrep Talk and Upcoming Drop-in Session We hope that last week’s UPrep talk on ‘Comparing Differences Between University Systems’ was helpful and informative. If you were not able to make it to the meeting, please find the presentation in English and Thai below and be sure to get in touch with our UPrep team if you have any questions or need support! Our next UPrep drop-in session is on the 12th of November at 8.15 am in the coffee shop on the first floor. You are all invited to ask questions and discuss anything you want to know about university programmes or application at this time. Grab a drink and join Kru Gem, our University Placement Officer, on the session! Library News - Discover a new world in a book! The library consistently wants to promote reading from a young age by running a Scholastic Book Club. The catalogue promotes a brand new book selection of quality children’s books that have been carefully chosen to get children reading for pleasure and to keep them reading right through their teenage years. So please check your child’s book bag for the latest leaflets. If you would like to make an order please do not hesitate to contact the librarian directly in the library to get the leaflet order form. Completed order forms plus payment need to be returned to the library by Wednesday 18th November 2020. Your pre-ordered books will be delivered to the school within 14 working days after we confirm the whole school’s order. The catalogue will be given to the students from Year 1-6 starting Monday 9th November when they have a library class. Ms Mai, Librarian Due to a very unusual set of circumstances, the traditional ‘Festival of Lights’ also known as Loy Krathong fell on the same day as the much loved Halloween celebration this year. Keeping in line with our commitment to imbue Thai culture into our community, Thai teachers organised for our students who study Thai as part of the curriculum to make Krathongs that they could float with their families at home. They also spent time studying the history of the festival. -Kru Dia History Classroom News In History last week our Year 12s (pictured in wigs!) gathered at a working men’s club in England to discuss the exploitations of the evil, industrial capitalists! Some represented Luddites, some Swing Rioters, some government representatives, but all were united against the massive economic and social impacts the industrial revolution had on the British people. Our Year 9s were using a learning strategy called a Barrier Game - something us teachers learnt in a recent professional development workshop to provide for our language learners. Barrier games require learners to sit with a barrier between them and convey information to each other to reach a common goal. They are designed to improve communication and listening skills and require constant teamwork. In this lesson, students learnt about The Armistice and the end of World War One. -Mr Richard Cramp, Head of Humanities Art Department News Year 9 students have studied German Expressionism and printmaking this term. They designed and carved their self-portrait into lino and printed using ink and the printing press. -Ms Jody Leow This term Active Learning Visual Art students have created some beautiful paintings and digital artwork. -Ms Jody Leow Eco Club News The Eco Club is now up and running every Thursday lunchtime 11.45 to 12.10. The aim of the club is to help make the way we live more sustainable. The students will be recycling plastic and making new products from them. At school, we can now recycle and make new products from three types of plastic instead of just throwing them away. Remember we only want plastic with the numbers 2, 4 and 5 in the centre of the recycled triangular symbol usually found on the bottom of the bottles and packaging. The plastic MUST be completely cleaned and MUST have the labels removed before you bring it to school. Please sort and place your plastic in the bins near the security office at the front of the school! In the pictures, you can see some of the members of the Eco Club shredding the old plastic and then making new sheets using the school’s Heat Press! -Mr Dean Wells, Design and Technology English Department News When it comes to technology in schools, you can either be like King Cnut and attempt to stop the tides of change (actually, a misrepresentation of the apocryphal account), or you can embrace it. In the English Faculty, when it ameliorates learning and engages students, we embrace the tide. Every week, we share good practice in our faculty meetings and last week, Ms. Milner introduced us to Wooclap, a site which allows students to use their phone or device to respond in a variety of ways (open questions, polls, word clouds etc) to questions of the teacher’s making. Today, Year 11 First Language English students used the site to bore down into the distilled essence of language by practising our connotative skills on individual words. These words often had very similar meanings but vastly divergent associative implications. -Mr. Pollicutt, Head of English Modelling is key to making great student progress in English. There is also an old truism that good talk leads to good writing. So today, Year 9 Austen combined the two. Following my modelling of an annotative commentary of a stanza of Hardy’s poem ‘A Wife in London’, students then sought to emulate the depth of analysis and use of literary terminology they had witnessed. To fully get them into character, they were even given the dubious honour of ‘modelling’ my teacher’s jacket….(!) -Mr. Pollicutt, Head of English In 7 White, we are lucky in many ways…. We are particularly lucky inasmuch as we have Namo in our Homeroom- one of the best golfers in Thailand for her age. Today, Namo brought in her putter and showed the other students some excellent putting form for them to emulate. Ever the perfectionist, she was concerned the tiled floors would be impossible to putt on. Of course, she still managed to make all her shots. Who knows, maybe 7W will produce another golf champion. Sofia? Khun? Maybe even Jake? -Mr Pollicutt, 7 White Homeroom teacher

Schools will usher in another new year defined by the pandemic STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: Students, teachers and parents are bidding farewell to a fourth school semester in a row that's been defined by the pandemic. And schools are trying to figure out how to respond to the omicron surge. Here to catch us up on the past year and what lies ahead is education correspondent Anya Kamenetz. Good morning. ANYA KAMENETZ, BYLINE: Hey, Steve. INSKEEP: How do people sum up 2021? KAMENETZ: So it made me think of this woman. At the very beginning of the pandemic, she set a world record by running 95 marathons in 95 days. And it's been a little bit like that. I mean, educators, in all seriousness... KAMENETZ: ...Have told us that this semester, it has been the hardest one of the pandemic yet. Here's a few of those voices, starting with Alena Zachery-Ross, the superintendent in Ypsilanti, Mich. ALENA ZACHERY-ROSS: Many more challenges this year than the other years. RENE SANCHEZ: We've got several teachers out who are quarantine. A lot of teachers also feel overwhelmed with just - these babies that are in school now, they have been experiencing a lot of trauma. BRYCIAL WILLIAMS: It's been a challenging year, having to address the delta variant and just be anxious and frustrated and dealing with the fallout. KAMENETZ: Those last two voices belong to Brycial Williams, a reading specialist who spoke to my colleague, Claire Lombardo, there in Arkansas, and Rene Sanchez, who runs a district outside Burlington, Vt. And new federal data shows that nearly all students were back full-time in-person this fall. However, these learning interruptions have been dragging on - students being sent home to quarantine for several days after COVID exposure. Thousands of schools have had to close their doors completely for a couple of days or even a week at a time. INSKEEP: I'm also just thinking about the factor of burnout. It's been so difficult for kids to learn from home. It was difficult to re-enter. It's got to also be difficult for teachers and staff. KAMENETZ: That's so true. Yeah. No. The people who educate our kids are really exhausted. That's teachers, school counselors, food service workers, and it's principals and superintendents. They see that their kids are hurting. But they always - they don't always have the resources to reach them. Dan Domenech is the executive director of the School Superintendents Association. And here's what he told me. DAN DOMENECH: Just about every superintendent I speak to is spending at least one day a week in the classroom as a substitute teacher. KAMENETZ: So they're having to wear multiple hats because staff are out sick. And there's no subs to be found. And those folks in leadership positions, Steve, are themselves quitting at an unprecedented rate. Chicago, New York, Los Angeles - all three of the biggest school districts in the country changed superintendents this year. INSKEEP: This has got to continue to affect education even now that virtually all students were back this past semester. How are students performing? KAMENETZ: So first of all, I think, most worrisome, as our team reported earlier this fall, enrollment is down across many large districts for a second straight year. And at least some of this, superintendents told us, is due to high school students who dropped out and are working to support their families. For those kids who are in school, unfortunately, this should've been a recovery year for them. Children started out behind where you might expect them to be in reading, especially in math. Some studies showed the less in-person instruction they received last school year, essentially, the less they learned. And we're seeing achievement gaps, you know, inequities being magnified for Black students, in particular, for low-income students, you know? However, if anything, educators and parents are even more concerned about students' well-being. I spoke to Sha'Miah Robinson. She's in Greensboro, N.C. And she said, coming back to high school was rough after months of lockdown. SHA'MIAH ROBINSON: I feel like I lack the energy to do stuff. So I pretty much became a couch potato. And I really didn't want to - I didn't want to go to school. I didn't want to do anything. INSKEEP: Anya, let's talk about another factor here, politics. Schools are often at the center of politics, but rarely quite so much as they were in the past year or two. KAMENETZ: Right. So what we really saw this fall was the use of race and LGBTQ rights in schools as a culture war issue from the local school board level on up. This is Karen Watkins. I spoke to her earlier this fall. She's on the school board in Gwinnett County, Ga. KAREN WATKINS: Oh, goodness. I used to - I was called a demon. I was Satan's spawn, you know? I'm trying to kill our kids. KAMENETZ: School leaders are getting this kind of harassment about mask wearing, vaccine mandates, as well as about race and gender. It's personal. It's angry. And it's wearing people down. In Tennessee, one teacher was fired this year for teaching about white privilege because eight states now have passed laws that restrict what teachers can say about race or gender in the classroom. INSKEEP: Which gets to the fact that this is central to politics for a lot of political candidates. And now 36 governors' races are coming up in 2022, not to mention races for Congress, the House and the Senate. Where does education fit into that? KAMENETZ: Yeah. So besides this Republican base activism, what's also popping up - some focus groups and exit polls in November's Virginia gubernatorial race saw potentially prolonged remote learning and these continued disruptions showing up as a swing voter issue among suburban white women. And I speak to parents like this all the time. They previously identified as staunch progressives. But they're really upset about what's going on in their schools. And we have reported on enrollment drops in many public school districts. Private school and charter school enrollment is up. So this is really kind of about the fabric of a lot of communities. INSKEEP: So we've had this tumultuous couple of years. And now we prepare to begin another semester for many students in - I don't know - about a week or so, in some cases, a couple of weeks from now. But I got to tell you, Anya, when my kids finished for - got - went home for the winter break, there was kind of a feeling of relief because of omicron and, honestly, some question about whether they'll all go back on time. KAMENETZ: Yeah. That is the question. And these emails are coming. And we've seen a handful of districts already announce a shift to remote or delays coming back from winter break from Chester County, S.C., all the way to Washington, D.C., and Mount Vernon, N.Y. Other districts are trying to get ahead of the game with testing. We've seen districts sending students home with rapid tests. New Orleans is out ahead of the country in requiring all students down to 5 years old to have their first vaccine shots not long after the first of the year. And they say they want to save the Carnival season with those shots. I would say, there's much more of a consensus, Steve, than in previous years, that everybody does want to keep schools open as much as they can, avoid these prolonged closures. One way to accomplish this would be to use rapid tests to limit student and staff quarantines after exposures. This is called test-to-stay. KAMENETZ: It's been backed by the CDC. And President Biden has called for it. However, you know, obviously, this is going to require a lot of tests and consistent access to tests. So recently, New York and Connecticut both announced that they're giving out millions of tests to schools. But, I mean, these states have millions of students, right? So and another limiting factor to keeping students in schools is going to be simply staff getting sick on top of the existing staff shortages. INSKEEP: We've talked about all the problems and challenges. What's working? KAMENETZ: You know, as hard as things are right now, I'm consistently amazed by the determination of educators to seize this moment. And the attention that they're giving to students' social and emotional needs, 4-in-10 schools in a recent survey have hired new staff to deal with those needs. And so this may be the beginning of a change that some people have been calling for for a long time. INSKEEP: NPR's Anya Kamenetz. Thanks, as always. KAMENETZ: Thank you.

Your body can do so many things that you are absolutely unaware of. Sometimes you just feel pain and there’s almost always a better way to get rid of the pain, but you decide to reach for a pill. This is happening only because you are not aware of the power you have over your body. You always think that there is an outside solution to your problems, when in reality, the solution lies within. Check out these hacks and improve your life while taking control over your body. 12. Treat a headache by massaging your big toe. Why it works: There are head reflex areas on the sides, on the top, and on the base of your big toe. By massaging these areas, you can relieve tension in your head and neck. 11. Calm your nerves by blowing on your thumb. Why it works: When you want to exhale through a blocked airway, the intrapleural pressure increases and that stimulates the vagus nerve, which is the nerve controlling the heart rate. The thumbs have their own pulse, so when you blow on them, it affects your overall pulse too. 10. Boost your mood by holding a pencil between your teeth. Why it works: A simple pencil in your mouth will help you – and this has been proved – to activate your smile muscles, which can deceive your brain and raise your spirits. 9. Scratch your ear to soothe a tickling throat. Why it works: When you stimulate the nerves in your ear, they’re creating a reflex in your throat that can cause a muscle spasm. This muscle spasm can relieve the tickle in your throat. 8. Turn off your gag reflex by squeezing your left thumb. Why it works: Applying pressure to a specific point on your palm is part of the ancient yoga and meditation movements with relaxation and targetting various organs in your body. This can significantly reduce your gag reflex. And one of the easiest ways to do this is to clench your left hand into a fist with your thumb inside it. 7. Stop a nosebleed by pressing on your upper gums. Why it works: Putting pressure on your gums can block the artery that supplies blood to your nose. 6. Swallow stubborn pills by tilting your head forward. Why it works: Unlike the popular belief that you need to tilt your head backwards, it’s quite the opposite. This way, the pills can only go to your stomach. 5. “Wake up” your arm by moving your head around. Why it works: A tingly arm sometimes happens due to the nerves in your neck being compressed. Hence, if you loosen your neck muscles, this will help you release the extra pressure in your arm. 3. Deal with fear of needles by coughing. Why it works: Coughing in this scenario, works as a brain distraction and it momentarily increases your blood pressure and helps reduce your perception of pain. 2. Make toothache go away by putting an ice cube on the back of your hand between your index finger and your thumb. Why it works: This particular section of your hand is greatly full of nerve pathways, which are the ones that carry the pain signals to your brain. By applying cold, you’re blocking these signals. 1. Get rid of hiccups by raising your arms above your head and stretching. Why it works: Stretching can reboot the diaphragm and stop it from contracting involuntarily.

The match of the season is almost over, and the fight for the title is already in full swing. The teams are close to each other, but the decisive stage of the championship is yet to come. The last rounds of the League of Ireland saw the teams fighting for the championship title. The last match of Waterford and Derry was quite dramatic, as the team of Sean Maguire was defeated by the team from Cork. The game was quite even, with the score at 0-0. The first half of the game was dominated by the Cork team, who scored several goals. However, the second half of this match was quite different. The team of Maguires was not able to get into the attacking zone of the Cork defense, and this led to the defeat. In the end, the teams were able to score only two goals. The game ended with a score of 0-3, which means that the Cork club was the winner of the match. However, the outcome of the last round of the Championship of Ireland was not the only one. The match of Cork and Kilkenny was also quite dramatic. The score was 0-5, and it was clear that the match was heading for a draw. It is not known yet what will happen in the next round, but it is quite possible that the teams will be able to fight for a place in the top-4.

Clay Pots for Cooking: Unlocking the Secrets of Culinary Delights In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional cooking methods and utensils, and one timeless classic that has caught the attention of food enthusiasts is the humble clay pot. Cooking in clay pots not only imparts a unique flavor and texture to dishes but also offers numerous health benefits. However, before you dive into the world of clay pot cooking, it's essential to know how to properly prepare these versatile vessels. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps of preparing clay pots for cooking, ensuring a delightful and successful culinary experience. Choosing the Right Clay Pot The first step in preparing clay pots for cooking begins with selecting the right pot. Opt for pots made from natural clay without any chemical additives. Ensure that the pot is sturdy, well-crafted, and suitable for the type of cooking you have in mind. Soaking and Initial Cleaning Before using a clay pot for the first time, it is crucial to wash it with plenty of water. This step allows the clay to absorb moisture, preventing it from cracking or breaking during cooking. While washing, gently scrub the pot with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. After that, let the terracotta completely dry. Seasoning the Clay Pot Seasoning is a vital process that creates a naturally non-stick surface, enhances flavors, and helps the pot retain heat effectively. To season a clay pot, rub its interior surface with a small amount of cooking oil, such as vegetable or sunflower oil. Allow the oil to soak into the clay for a few hours or overnight, and then wipe away the excess oil with a cloth. Gradual Heat Exposure Clay pots are sensitive to extreme temperature changes, so it's important to expose them gradually to heat. Place the seasoned pot in a cool oven or stove top and then gradually increase the temperature to the desired cooking level. This process helps prevent cracking due to sudden thermal shocks. Care and Maintenance To prolong the lifespan of your clay pot, handle it with care. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface. Instead, opt for wooden or silicone utensils. After each use, wash the pot with warm water and a mild detergent, using a soft sponge or cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid exposing the pot to extreme temperature changes, such as placing it directly on a hot stove or running cold water on a hot pot. Click to buy retail! By following these simple steps to prepare and maintain your clay pots, you can unlock the full potential of this ancient cooking vessel and enjoy the rich flavors and health benefits they offer. Cooking in clay pots allows you to create unique and delicious meals that capture the essence of traditional culinary techniques. So, gather your clay pots, embrace the art of slow cooking, and embark on a delightful journey of flavors and aromas. With proper preparation and care, your clay pots will become cherished companions in your kitchen for years to come. Happy clay pot cooking!

Our snowcat operator will drive us back 6 miles away from HWY 395 to the Virginia Lakes Valley where our yurts reside. The snowcat is used as a tool to transport our groups to the best snow and ski terrain. Transport times in the snowcat also allow us to use it as a classroom, lunch shack, and resting point to refresh between runs. We use the snowcat to go uphill, and when conditions allow we have ‘cat laps’ in which we can use the snowcat like a chairlift with no skinning whatsoever. For some runs, we’ll use the snowcat to go uphill to a drop-off then continue uphill on skins for a long run that ends at a cat pick-up. Finally, we have some straightforward backcountry skiing terrain in which the snowcat takes you to the base where we skin up and ski down. Basically, we maximize your powder turns for the minimum amount of hiking! No worries! Our ski guides are happy to introduce you to backcountry ski gear, explain best practices with avalanche rescue equipment, and share the tips and tricks they’ve learned from years of experience in the backcountry. This is the perfect setting for you and your friends to learn how to use specialized backcountry ski equipment. For a more formal educational experience, consider making your trip an Introduction to Backcountry Course. - Required Avalanche Safety equipment: - Modern Avalanche Transceiver (3 antenna with fresh batteries) - Avalanche Shovel - Avalanche Probe - Back pack (Avalanche Airbag Pack recommended and available to rent) - We are happy to provide this avalanche rescue equipment for your group - Alpine touring or telemark ski or splitboard equipment - Climbing skins – must cover full width of ski base - Helmets are recommended but optional - See “What to bring” for an extensive packing list. Our ski guides and snowcat-operator/yurt-host aim to provide a unique and memorable backcountry experience for you and a great way to show your appreciation is tipping. The standard tip is 20% of the total trip cost and this will be split amongst the employees on your trip. Yes, our trips accommodate a maximum of 8 people at a time and we are happy to work with you to add or subtract group members prior to your trip. The day rates at High Sierra Snowcat are set, regardless if you fill all 4 or 8 seats.

Northwest Missouri State University is again breaking institutional enrollment records with the conclusion of its latest census showing that the university has the highest spring enrollment in its history. The University reports that overall enrollment this spring was up nearly 10 percent from a year ago to a headcount of 7,923. For the third consecutive spring, the University set a graduate enrollment record with 3,407 students, an increase of 31 percent from a year ago. Although undergraduate enrollment was down 2 percent, first-time freshman enrollment was up 7 percent. Additionally, student credit hours at Northwest increased 4% overall. Undergraduate land-based credit hours decreased approximately 5%, while college credit hours for Northwest’s online programs increased 84%. In the graduate student sector, credit hours in the field increased 34% and credit hours for online graduate programs increased 19%. Additionally, Northwest maintains a high fall to spring retention rate of 88%. “We are excited about our continued growth,” said Northwest interim president Dr. Clarence Green. “Our people and their commitment to student success is the hallmark in student recruitment and retention, and our increase in first-time freshmen is promising. However, we still have work to do as we continue to focus on growing undergraduate enrollment at our Maryville campus.” Students participate in a lab class at Northwest.

(Photo by Abigayle Rush/Northwest Missouri State University) The spring semester enrollment tallies follow a fall census that showed Northwest surpassing 8,000 students for the first time in its 117-year history and a record decline of 8,505 students. Traditionally, spring enrollment totals are lower than those recorded during the fall semester. However, the spring headcount ranks as the second-highest census count in Northwest history, just ahead of the University’s record headcount of 7,870 students in Fall 2021. This spring, Northwest reports that 934 students, or 12 percent of the student population, identify with underrepresented groups. The University’s enrollment of international students increased to 822 and represents approximately 10% of Northwest’s student body. They represent 36 countries with most of those students from India, Nigeria and Nepal. The University’s in-state student population this spring is 5,075 students as Northwest domestic students are from a total of 47 states and the District of Columbia, and the institution continues to draw well from Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. In Northwest-Kansas City, where the University offers a wide variety of courses, including dual-credit offerings and degree completion programs, 657 students are enrolled. Northwest students learned about opportunities to get involved with a variety of groups at a student organization fair in January. The University offers more than 150 student clubs and organizations. (Photo by Lauren Adams/Northwest Missouri State University) About Northwest Missouri State University Northwest is a four-year, primarily residential, coeducational university offering a broad range of select undergraduate and graduate programs at its Maryville campus, as well as at its Northwest-Kansas City location and through Northwest Online.

On February 18, 1898 the American battleship, USS Maine exploded in the harbor of Havana Cuba and catapulted the United States onto the world stage. Above is a photo of a porthole that was recovered from the wreckage and is on display at the National Infantry Museum. Tensions between the US and Spain had been on the rise as the people of Cuba were fighting Spain for the freedom. America supported the rebels but was in such a position where they could not do so openly. In fact President McKinley sent the Maine to Havana, with permission from the Spanish government, to protect Americans in the country. When the ship inexplicably exploded that night over 200 American sailors lost their life and all any one could ask was why? The initial investigation placed the cause for the explosion on a mine that had detonated underneath a powered magazine. When the results of the inquiry were made public, the American press immediately laid the blame on the Spanish and demanded that the US intervene in the rebellion on the side of Cuba. Before long the fervor for war grew and led to Congress declaring war on Spain on April 23, 1898. The war itself did not last long, Spain had long been on the decline and none of the other powers felt compelled to help. Before long the US Navy had all but obliterated the Spanish Navy while the ground forces took Cuba and the Philippines, among others. Several years later, a follow-up inquiry into the fate of the Maine, contradicted the mine findings and instead suggested that the cause of the explosion was spontaneous combustion inside the power magazine. Even today the actual cause of the explosion is debated and serves as fodder for conspiracy theorists. It does seem mighty convenient that such an event occurred just when the desire to create and American Empire at the expense of a dying European power seemed the most, opportune.

This artifact is a favorite of curators and visitors alike as one of the few iron artifacts stable enough to be handled. This hand-wrought iron chain was recovered from the bottom of the Second Well where it was used to raise and lower the bucket for water. It required very little conservation after excavation because it was buried in an anaerobic environment. Comprised of 16 links, it includes a large circular attachment loop on one end. The settlers likely repurposed the chain from one used aboard one of the first ships that traveled to Jamestown. Its roughly six-pound weight helped tip the wooden bucket that would have otherwise floated on top of the water. Its short, four-foot length indicates it was attached to a fibrous rope to reach the water in the 15’ deep well. Maybe the chain fell into the well as the rope rotted, or perhaps someone lost their grip, letting the chain fall into the depths below!

The African continent has been hit especially hard by the effects of 3 Cs — COVID-19, crisis (regional and global conflicts), and climate change, with the latter having the most devastating impact. That was the conclusion of an afternoon of discussions on Nov. 28 at Harvard Law School. While the continent has contributed the least to carbon emissions, they said, it suffers the most disproportionately in terms of its impact and access to global finance for adaptation or mitigation. The continent’s social, economic, labor markets, and the environment have borne the brunt. These growth and development factors, and the rapid global adoption of artificial intelligence, was the backdrop for two lunchtime lectures and a fireside chat on, “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Labor and Productivity in Africa,” and “Representing Africa in International and Multilateral Organizations — Risks, Challenges, and Opportunities,” which brought to campus two prominent speakers who represent Africa at many strategic multilateral fora. The high-level visit of Abiodun Richards Adejola, chairperson of the Governing Board of the United Nation’s International Labor Organization and Nigeria’s ambassador to Geneva, and Dr. Victor Oladokun, a senior adviser to the president of the African Development Bank Group, was hosted by the Harvard Center for African Studies. Speaking to an audience of over 150 faculty, students, and researchers, Richards and Oladokun acknowledged the difficulties of Africa — and of being African. “There is no denying that something is wrong with the world we live in; we recognize that the architecture of many of the global systems and processes within which we operate are stacked against the continent,” said Oladokun. He cited Africa’s underrepresentation in virtually every international sphere, from politics to economics and even sports. Referencing the number of national teams that are selected to participate in the FIFA World Cup as an example of this disparity, he asked “How does one explain how a continent with 1.2 billion people and 50+ FIFA affiliated countries has only 5 spots?” The same problem exists in other international organizations, he said, remarking, “You cannot imagine the challenges we’ve had to even allow Africa have a seat at the G20.” In his opening lecture, Richards said that previous technological revolutions have also left Africa burdened with social and economic costs that have impeded growth. But, he added, “the future is Africa; and we have no choice but to aggressively pursue effective policies and meaningful spaces for the continent’s advancement, particularly for its youth.” African studies at Harvard, including opportunities to delve more deeply into contemporary issues affecting African countries, was of particular concern to undergraduate and graduate students in the audience. Professor Jacob Olupona, chair of the Department of African American and African Studies, highlighted that Harvard boasts the largest and most vibrant African languages program in the nation and emphasized travel opportunities available for students. For their part, students pointed to the need to prepare and equip a new generation for leadership on the continent, including in global organizations where decisions affecting Africa are routinely made without input from Africans. Students from Harvard College, who were a large majority in attendance, inquired about the role of first-generation African students interested in contributing to Africa’s development. In a robust exchange with the speakers moderated by New York University Professor and Berkman Klein Center Faculty Affiliate James Wahutu, issues of gender equality, Africa-relevant policy formulation in the US, AI bias, and human rights emerged as key areas of concern. Questions from the audience ranged from topics such as pervasive gender bias and discrimination against African women in international organizations, misinformation and disinformation in African elections, and the link between pernicious poverty and cycles of regional conflict, to the exploitation of African workers in the development of AI systems by large technology companies. “Africa’s challenges demand serious and sustained study,” said Ruth L. Okediji LL.M. ’91 S.J.D. ’96, Harvard Law’s Jeremiah Smith Jr. Professor of Law and faculty director of the Center for African Studies in an interview following the event. “There are significant social and environmental justice issues provoked by the rapid and unregulated deployment of AI and other technologies in Africa.” “Harvard’s commitment to leverage the power of education to address pernicious manifestations of inequality is especially crucial for the study of modern African societies,” she said. “Lingering shadows of colonialism, widening gaps between rich and poor, and the endemic poverty endured by millions are amplified by the unregulated application of technologies that challenge what it means to be human. This is not good news for a continent that already struggles with dehumanizing encounters in the global order, in popular media, and in perceptions of its value to the world.” Also fueling misperceptions about Africa what speakers described as deliberate silence in the media about Africa’s successes. Africa’s ‘failure’ is as much about its many crises as it is avoidance or minimization in the press of its important successes and competencies. Oladokun cited the recent coverage of the Ouarzazate Concentrated Solar Power facility in Morocco, one of the largest in the world, for which the larger share of Phase 1 funding came from the African Development Bank. “However, several global news outlets completely ignored the bank’s role and contribution, and instead gave attribution to another global development finance institution, with much less of a financial stake,” he said. Several students in the audience asked what courses to study or careers to pursue to make a difference with their Harvard degrees. “I would say to go with your passion,” Oladokun responded. Addressing the students, he said, “You’ve grown up in a culture where things are relatively easy. Life is not easy in Africa — it just isn’t. As great as Harvard is, understand that everything you’ve learned here will be obsolete in five years. Your degree is a good start, but you will need more.” The key, he said, is to keep networking, both here and in Africa. “The opportunities are boundless, because you’ve got something that the rest of the world wants.” Wahutu added that students should “tap into the faculty and classes that are available on campus. Take advantage of opportunities to travel to Africa and be sure you ask the right and hard questions when it comes to what you are taught about Africa.” “I don’t want you graduating and thinking you are up against insurmountable challenges,” Richards said. “Africa is open for business, preferably by those committed to her progress. Africa is waiting for you.” Want to stay up to date with Harvard Law Today? Sign up for our weekly newsletter.

25 May 2022 Took James for his first spearfish on Saturday. Visibility was a milky 2-4m, but we saw some rays, banjo sharks, an assortment of dart, luderick, bream, morwong, flathead and eels. I came close to pulling the trigger on a Luderick, but it wasn't to be. I didn't start spearfishing until I was almost 30 and after hearing Steven Rinella (MeatEater) say "I feel I have wasted my life now that I know what I know about spearfishing, and I suck at it. It's not my fault. It's where I was born. But now, I realise that's what I should've done with my life." I thought I owed it James to start teaching him from a young age. Back at our villa that night James said to me "Dad I'm really glad you showed me all the different fish, but maybe next time don't point and just shot one"

The Access 4 Learning (A4L) Community has continued to have phenomenal leadership over the past year. The leadership, guidance and overall dedication to the Community prove critical to our collective successes… it is hard to believe that it is time for elections again! Nominations for the International Technical & Privacy Leadership Group and North American Leadership Group will be available from March 6-28, 2024 (inclusive). We are delighted to open registration for our Annual Meeting, which will be held in partnership with PESC (Postsecondary Electronics Standards Council) on April 30-May 2 in Arlington, VA. To say it has been an eventful year at A4L in 2023 would be an understatement. This year, we experienced one of the most significant years in the history of the organization. Despite the turmoil that happens with change, the A4L Community has emerged as an even stronger force for interoperability and privacy in education. All of this has been possible because of you. Over the course of this year, we have been heartened to see the outpouring of support amongst our membership, with the strongest engagement we have seen in our years working with this organization. On November 28, 2023, the North American Leadership Group (NA-LG) approved the National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA), version 2, for a second A4L Community Member Review. Following the success of the May release, The A4L Community Australian Data Standards Working Group is proud to announce the launch of the SIF Data Model Specification (Australia) 3.6.1. This release builds on the foundation laid in May, where critical steps were taken to affirm individuals’ identities within the education technology landscape. Now, with version 3.6.1, the Specification continues its commitment to advancing standards and interoperability, with a particular focus on the enhancement of the OpenAPI presentation. The Access 4 Learning (A4L) Community is excited to announce the appointment of Steve Smith as their new Executive Director. Mr. Smith brings a wealth of interoperability and privacy leadership expertise to the A4L Community, both as a leader of district and state-level technology projects, and as the Founder of the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC). The Access 4 Learning (A4L) Community, a leading authority in education technology, is proud to announce the release of a groundbreaking whitepaper designed to enhance the seamless sharing of grades between Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Student Information Systems (SIS). This initiative not only introduces a revolutionary data model but also a reimagined infrastructure to cater to the evolving needs of grade pass back within the educational ecosystem. Per approved organizational By-Laws, any changes to the established documents require approval by the Association Board of Directors (global) for any revisions to release them to Community membership for comment and approval. The Board have reviewed the changes and voted to release them for a 3 week review and voting period by the membership. Community Review period will be open from Tuesday, October 10, 2023 until 12noon ET on Monday, October 30, 2023 (inclusive). The past three months since the last A4L Quarterly Newsletter has been very busy and rewarding… In August I had the honor of representing A4L/SDPC at the White House Back to School Safely: Cybersecurity for K-12 Schools event. The event took place in the East Room… In a joint announcement, two well established education community standards bodies have agreed to develop a closer partnership with the goal of scaling K-12 and Postsecondary data standards efforts. The Access 4 Learning (A4L) Community and the Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council (PESC) are formally coordinating their work to align the adoption of secure, trusted, free and open data standards and methods across the P-20W domain.

This is what more and more marketplace providers are promoting for ‘ease of use’ of their products. In contrast, more and more school CIO-types are stating that the bevy of APIs they must utilize (plus the constant changes made to them), have become a data management nightmare. Since the A4L Community supports vendors and end users, it makes sense for us to look for ways to standardize and simplify. The idea: standardize an infrastructure for data transport that can carry any data model ‘on the wire’. In 2011, the A4L Community – led by the Management Board – separated the SIF Data Model from the SIF Infrastructure to allow it to carry ANY data model. The globally used SIF Infrastructure defines the transport and messaging functionality over the ‘wire’ where data are securely exchanged – no matter the payload/data model. The standardized Infrastructure has been third-party ‘load tested’ and results show no ‘data bottlenecks’. Without over-stressing a performance load test, over 200 million data messages were sent in an hour! Now the A4L Community is reaching out to other standards groups that have well-developed data models but no suggested transport. This work is being done under the auspices of the Data Standards United (DSU) collaborative. The DSU is not a new organization, but a voluntary collaborative of some of the world’s most widely used data standards from education to workplace, engineering to health professions, all for lifelong learning. DSU’s vision is to collaborate and align standards to support the global education and workforce digital ecosystem. The use cases for utilizing the standard infrastructure are piling up: A PESC Transcript data model on the infrastructure, the continued alignment with CEDS in data modeling and transport, and exploration with other partners including medical, HR, employment, etc. organizations – so stay tuned!

100 young people will benefit from the Generation Guadalajara IT pilot program - The Generation Guadalajara IT program, designed to train young people as Java back-end developers, is launching in partnership with Bécalos, the Fundación Televisa program and the Mexican Banks Association, Intel, Jalisco Institute of Information Technology (IJALTI) and the Department of Innovation, Science and Technology (SICYT) of the State of Jalisco - Intel will contribute its global “Future Skills” curriculum—in which participants complete challenges like trying to create paper electronic circuits, or to program robots and other objects with the Arduino platform—and the effort of 20 volunteer coaches from Intel will help us implement the challenges - Wipro, iTexico, BMC, Interlatin, AMDocs, IBM, Algartech, and HP are some of the employer partners who will recruit graduates from the program Guadalajara, Jalisco, September 25, 2017. Generation Mexico launched its fourth program today, Generation Guadalajara IT, with the aim of training around 100 unemployed or underemployed young people in the skills required to be Java back-end developers and helping them find employment with technology companies in the state of Jalisco. Generation, founded by Mckinsey & Company in 2014, will be implemented in Guadalajara with Bécalos of the Fundación Televisa and the Association of Banks of Mexico, Intel, USAID, IJALTI, and the State of Jalisco’s Secretariat of Innovation, Science and Technology. Building on the “IT Talent” study conducted by IJALTI, Generation identified the talent gap in base-level developers in Guadalajara and created, with major employers, a three-month full-time program that is focused on providing young people with technical skills as Java back-end developers, as well as developing mindsets and behaviors such as perseverance, future mindset, growth mindset, and personal accountability. Additionally, Intel is providing the content of its global “Future Skills” program as a complement to the Generation curriculum. “The rapid pace of technological advancement is fundamentally changing the skills needed for the jobs of the future. Intel’s ‘Future Skills’ program focuses on directly addressing the inequalities that can result from this radical change in the future of workplace,” says Intel’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Antonio Sanchez. Partnerships are being established with employers—including Wipro, iTexico, BMC, InterLatin, AMDocs, IBM, Algartech, and HP, among others—to recruit program graduates. “The implementation of the Generation program is important since the industry currently requires more talent than what we are producing. Thus we must train to generate talent that meets industry needs,” says Julio Acevedo, President of IJALTI. Similarly, Eduardo Chávez, General Manager of IJALTI, comments that, “The Generation program is a social initiative driven by the triple helix of Jalisco, which will help turn the dreams and aspirations of the new generation into reality, giving them an opportunity to develop skills and compete in the IT industry at a global level.” This program is a reduced-scale pilot program to test the curriculum and methodology and gather feedback from the industry’s leading players. In 2018, we expect to refine and scale the program in order to graduate 1,000 students, which would significantly reduce the IT talent gap in Guadalajara. The program will be held at the IJALTI facilities, which have provided space for this first pilot. “We are very excited to train the young people of Jalisco as junior software developers, and to give them the opportunity to change their lives. Our innovative employee education methodology — bringing together technical and social-emotional skills — has been delivering results in Mexico and around the world for two years, and we are delighted to bring it to Guadalajara, with the support of employers, Bécalos, Intel, IJALTI, SICYT, and USAID, with the goal of scaling our IT program to the entire country in 2018,” Maria Novales-Flamarique, Director of Generation Mexico, said. Meanwhile, Alicia Lebrija, Executive Chairman of Fundación Televisa, said that “Fundación Televisa and the Association of Banks of Mexico through the Bécalos program are committed to the young people of Mexico and happy to support them with skill-developing tools that will enable them to find formal work and improve the quality of their and their families’ life.” The Secretary of the Department of Innovation, Science and Technology, Jaime Reyes Robles, highlighted the important work of Bécalos of the Fundación Televisa and the Association of Banks of Mexico, as well as the participating companies, and urged those benefiting to take advantage of this opportunity: “At SICYT we are making connections between academia and companies. This is a unique opportunity for young people to benefit from being trained at the forefront of what companies are demanding.” In Mexico, Generation has graduated more than 1,500 young people, with placement rates of more than 90% and turnover and productivity improvements in employers up to 60% and 30%, respectively. Two years after its creation, Generation has established itself as the world’s largest demand-driven employment program, with about 15,000 young graduates in five countries (U.S., Spain, Kenya, India, and Mexico), achieving placement rates of 83%, cost reductions of up to 40% compared to similar programs, and a substantial improvement in the quality of life for young graduates. Generation programs in Mexico, Kenya and India have received major financial support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Mckinsey & Company. In Mexico, the USAID Mission works actively with the private sector through strategic alliances that foster innovation and the maximum utilization of resources to increase the program’s impact, improve sustainability, and replicate successful interventions across the country. # # # # # Currently, more than 75 million young adults are unemployed, and about three times more are underemployed. At the same time, 40% of employers talk about a lack of skills they see with entry-level openings. Generation is a non-profit youth employment organization that seeks to close this gap. Driven by a dual mission — empowering young people to build prosperous and sustainable careers, and providing employers with the highly-qualified and motivated talent they need — Generation has connected nearly 15,000 young adults with skills and jobs to date. The organization offers programs in 16 professions across 4 sectors and in more than 50 cities in 5 countries — India, Kenya, Mexico, Spain and the United States. Generation was founded by Mckinsey & Company in 2014. Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) expands the boundaries of technology to make great experiences possible. Information about Intel can be found at: newsroom.intel.com and newsroom.intel.la. Intel and the Intel logo are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the United States and other countries. In 2006, the Association of Banks of Mexico, Fundación Televisa and the most important banks in the country decided to make a difference and started the Bécalos program. Its objective is to support low-income, stand-out students, promote educational fairness and contribute to the training and updating of the faculty. With a solid infrastructure, the Bécalos Program offers scholarships at the upper and lower levels, scholarships of academic excellence, scholarships for skill development, scholarships for technical and scientific careers relevant to the national development of public schools. As a cluster manager, IJALTI is committed to promoting talent initiatives that add to the strengthening of the companies that are part of the IT cluster of Jalisco. In that sense, and arising from the IT Talent strategy, this year IJALTI agreed to a strategic alliance with the Generation program, with the aim of carrying out its initiative within the Guadalajara Software Center and being able to support the training of 100 young talented people in Java back-end skills. The Department of Innovation, Science and Technology is part of the Executive Branch of the State of Jalisco, created in March 2013. It was created with the mission of promoting, assisting and boosting the creation and adoption of a culture of innovation and with the vision of positioning Jalisco as the most innovative state with the highest rate of technological development in Mexico. It mainly deals with three themes: higher education, technological development, and commercial and social innovation.

Online casinos are a convenient and accessible way to gamble without having to leave the comfort of your home. They provide a range of games, bonuses and other rewards that can be enjoyed 24/7. There are also a number of ways to play casino games online, such as in real time. This allows players to experience the thrill of playing a live game, with real dealers and other players, but without having to travel to an actual casino. Casino online games offer the same gaming options as a traditional brick-and-mortar casino, including slot machines, table games and other card and dice games. Many of the best casinos online are licensed by state regulators and feature a variety of betting limits to appeal to players of all skill levels. In addition, they offer a variety of banking options, from credit cards to e-wallets. The best casinos online also have a strong reputation for customer service, with live chat available around the clock. While online casinos are increasingly popular, they may not be right for everyone. Some people still prefer the social interaction and atmosphere of a real casino, which is difficult to replicate in an online environment. In addition, a large number of online casinos are fraudulent or simply do not operate legitimately. It is important to choose a reputable and trustworthy online casino to avoid losing your hard-earned money. In order to find the best casino online, you should check out their bonus offers, games selection and payout options. A good online casino will have a high payout percentage, which measures the amount of winnings that are paid out to players relative to the total amount wagered. This is a key indicator of a site’s trustworthiness and profitability. Some top-rated casinos will also offer additional incentives to keep players engaged. These can include reload bonuses, Game of the Week promotions and other enticing offers. In addition, they may run loyalty programs that reward steadfast members with redeemable points and other exclusive perks. Casino online gambling has become more and more common as technology continues to advance. In the early days of the internet, players would access a casino online by downloading and installing a casino program on their computer. This would then function like a standard computer game, with players logging in using their username and password to begin play. Nowadays, there are thousands of casinos online and a wide variety of different types of games to choose from. However, there is one major thing that online casinos can’t do – replicate the excitement of a real life casino.

A private lesson is an hour long consisting of 30 minutes of grooming/saddling and 30 minutes of ride time. My goal as a trainer is to not only have you riding well but have a clear understanding and ability to take care of your horse! I offer lessons in both English and Western, including barrel racing ($60). A sem-private lesson consists of 2 riders. Typically it’s a sibiling lesson where the children will both groom/saddle the same horse for 15 minutes and each get 25-30 minutes of ride time. Saftey is the main priority so I only have a ratio of one rider to one teacher in the arena then we switch. I do have exceptions if the riders are experienced enough to go together. Feel free to call and discuss if you think a semi-private fits your needs. Have a horse of your own? I will come to you! Whether you want to become a better rider, strengthen your communication with your horse, learn more about your tack and how to use it etc. Most people will have their horses saddled, warmed up and ready when I arrive so we get started with 30 minutes of in the saddle training. There is additional cost for my time and gas to get to your place. I strive to give you as much information and knowledge to help you and your horse achieve the best partnership possible. There are a lot of options when it comes to getting your horse trained. Whether your horse needs a tune up, first start under saddle, or you have a specific behavioral issue that needs to be worked through, feel free to give me a call and we will work to find the best solution for your specific case!

The Moon spends the day in your creative solar fifth house, dear Libra, and pressures feel less pressing! Even so, Neptune turns retrograde now as it begins its five-plus month retrograde cycle, and there can be some temporary lack of direction or reason to pull yourself back from a dream or plan to get some perspective. This might come in the form of a minor letdown related to work, service, or health areas, but can end up redirecting you on a more authentic path. If your daily life has been chaotic, you’ll feel some of the consequences this week, and this can prompt you to reconsider some of your recent pursuits or plans. Keep in mind that problem areas may feel bigger than life temporarily as they draw your attention to what’s missing. The retrograde cycle itself, lasting until November 27th, is useful for gathering intel. A surprising expense may rattle your nerves and threaten to hijack your fun today. You can either choose to scale back your plans or throw your own spontaneous curve ball. The comfort-loving Moon’s square to unpredictable Uranus prompts you to roll with the punches, although you prefer to avoid them entirely. However, sticking your head in the sand is not a viable option. Nevertheless, your wellbeing is a priority that need to be honored, especially when you experience a setback. During the last full day of an opposition between Mars on the career and Pluto on the home front, there could still be some professional pressure or work/life balance tension. Yet with the Sun in his last full day in an adventurous part of your chart and playful lunar vibes in effect, this is making it hard for work/life balance to take hold. Mainly because any urgency on the job front is gone, while playful lunar and adventurous solar vibes make it hard to let life become all work and no play.

Hold your breath and prepare to be amazed by the daring performance captured in the jaw-dropping video below. While we often witness talented young riders participating in various equestrian competitions, nothing compares to the heart-stopping spectacle you are about to witness. It is important to note that this performance pushes the boundaries of safety and should never be attempted. The young girl in the video appears to be underage, making the risks even more pronounced. Her lack of coordination, confidence, and failure to follow basic safety precautions, such as wearing a helmet and using reins, make this endeavor all the more dangerous. While we understand the desire to instill a passion for horses in young riders and nurture their potential as professionals, child safety should always take precedence. Riding without reins significantly increases the risk for both the rider and the horse. It only takes one small misstep to result in severe consequences, and mature riders would never allow such a perilous situation to unfold. Owning a horse can be a remarkable teaching tool for children, fostering confidence and instilling a sense of responsibility. However, the safety of children should be paramount. Running horses on roadways, as depicted in the video, can be particularly hard on their legs and feet, posing significant risks to their well-being. In conclusion, while the video showcases a captivating performance, it is crucial to prioritize the safety of young riders and their equine companions. Remember, a passion for horses should always be accompanied by proper training, supervision, and adherence to safety protocols. Let us cherish the incredible connection between humans and horses while ensuring the well-being of everyone involved.

For the second time in 24 hours, the US Securities and Exchange Commission has sued a major cryptocurrency exchange. Yesterday, the regulator filed charges against Binance and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao, with accusations of manipulative trading practices, mishandling customer assets, and failures of corporate control. Today, the SEC followed up with a suit against the Nasdaq-listed exchange Coinbase, alleging that it has violated securities laws. The double salvo sends a clear message that the SEC is gunning for crypto. The upshot of this could be that US investors lose access to popular crypto assets. “We are reaching an end state where if the current regulatory crackdown in the US proceeds unchecked, then you’re basically banning most crypto activity in the US,” says Omid Malekan, an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School and author of Re-Architecting Trust: The Curse of History and the Crypto Cure for Money, Markets and Platforms. The SEC’s latest complaint doubles down on its long-standing assertion that many crypto tokens are simply securities, as defined under existing laws in the US. That means they fall under its purview, the regulator says. Based on that interpretation, the suit, filed in the Southern District of New York, accuses Coinbase of knowingly operating an unregistered securities exchange by selling tokens, including Sol, Ada, and Matic, to US investors. The SEC also accuses Coinbase of violating securities law in connection with its staking service, which lets customers earn profits on certain crypto holdings by pooling them and locking them up. “You simply can’t ignore the rules because you don’t like them or because you’d prefer different ones: The consequences for the investing public are far too great,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, director of the SEC’s enforcement division, in a public statement. “Coinbase was fully aware of the applicability of the federal securities laws to its business activities, but deliberately refused to follow them.” Like Binance yesterday, Coinbase turned the finger of blame back on the regulator, claiming the SEC has failed to mark out a road to compliance for crypto businesses. “The SEC’s reliance on an enforcement-only approach in the absence of clear rules for the digital asset industry is hurting America’s economic competitiveness,” says Paul Grewal, the company’s chief legal officer. Coinbase has “demonstrated commitment to compliance,” he claims, and will continue to operate as usual while it defends against the complaint. This tension—over the interpretation of existing securities laws and whether they apply to crypto—will form the center of the case to come, says Noelle Acheson, an independent crypto analyst. “It’s very much game on,” Acheson says. With the filings against Coinbase and Binance, the SEC has now formally alleged that seven of the top 15 largest cryptocurrencies are securities. Bitcoin is considered an exception, and the SEC has not rendered a clear verdict on Ether, but the agency “seems to be using a broad rubric by which to classify these tokens as securities,” says Molly White, author of crypto-skeptic blog Web3 Is Going Just Great.

Take control of your work schedule and skyrocket your business productivity with my bullet journal for work layouts, ideas & hacks. Most business owners set professional goals. But, wise entrepreneurs use bullet journaling to track these important goals. Who is a business bullet journaling for? Do you wish to have better control over personal life work-life balance? If you’re a working professional, small business owner, or entrepreneur who struggles with time management and prioritizing your task list, the bullet journal method, also known as BuJo, is something you should consider. In this post, I’ll explain how a bullet journal for business will boost your productivity and help you achieve your professional goals faster. What is Bullet Journal? So, what are bullet journals? When it comes to finding a productivity system, nothing is more innovative and flexible than the bullet journal method. As a business owner or professional, you may choose to keep a separate bullet journal for business. Still, all of these spreads can be easily implemented into your existing monthly and daily tracking system if you decide to keep a single journal. How Does the Bullet Journal System Work? Whether for personal or business use, the bullet journal system follows the same basic skeleton. First, you start with a monthly log, which will often include a calendar of events, a list of tasks to be completed for the month, and potentially a place for goals and habit trackers. Secondly, you have daily, weekly and monthly logs to take information and events from the monthly log and transfer them here. The daily log acts more like an essential rolling to-do list. If you complete a task, you can tick it off; you can cross it out to cancel it or use an arrow to move it on to the next day. More complex bullet journals use this basic format but add additional useful pages and elements to fit a more personalized user need, Trial and error are needed when designing a bullet journal that works for you. Nowadays, art supplies and journals are readily available in the market. And you can have fun mixing and matching all of them. You can choose from a wide variety like cut-outs, stickers, or doodles. Don’t worry if you’re not the creative type, because everyone can doodle (if you wish to). Check out my post for some bullet journal doodle ideas. Even those who claim they don’t have any artistic blood in their body. The fun thing with doodles is it doesn’t have any standards. It’s the result of your imagination, an expression of your thoughts and feelings written down on paper. How to Bullet Journal for Work? Bullet journaling for work is a great way to boost your motivation and productivity. I’ll get into this is more detail below… One of my favorite bullet journal spread ideas for work professionals and entrepreneurs is a two page spread to keep track of your goals. For example, you may choose to start your bullet journal with your year’s business goals. You can categorize your goals for different parts of the business, so you cover all bases. This may have the financial revenue goals you wish to meet or your social media targets. If you work for a company, your goals may be to do with your work performance targets. It is a good idea to keep track of your goals every day to make sure you are keeping yourself accountable. It’s a good idea is to go over your goals quarterly and regularly update them. It is hugely motivating to see yourself hitting and exceeding your goals in this way, and your bullet journal will certainly keep you on track! For more on this, watch the video below. Some additional tips for how to improve your bullet journaling are: - Include an index Many bullet journal notebooks are specifically designed to add page numbers. This can be important and useful for business needs as you can track the pages that certain pieces of information are stored. For example, if you are looking for financial information to help complete your taxes, an index will make it easy to reference this information quickly. - Create a bullet key One of the bullet journal’s essential parts is creating a key that works and makes sense for you. Of course, the bullet journal comprises basic symbols such as checkboxes and bullets, but other symbols could be used to symbolize different business needs. - Keep Your Bullet Journal Simple This all may seem very complicated, but the best thing to do is to pick a handful of spreads that will work for you. If you choose too many spreads, there is a chance that a bullet journal will instead hinder your productivity. A bullet journal is only useful if you can keep up with inputting information and data into it. Test the waters with simple spreads first, and when it becomes more of a habit, start to implement new spreads. 6 Bullet Journal Ideas for Business Professionals I’ve collated the most productive spreads that can be super useful for professionals and small business owners. Here are 6 bullet journal for work layouts you should try: 1. Business Finance Tracker If you own a small business and are in charge of incomings and outgoings, it helps note down daily business expenses. You may already have an expense and income tracker for your personal expenses, but this can be easily transferred into a page for business use. A straightforward one-page table will suffice where you can note down a description of the expense, the category and keep a running total of your monthly business costs. This can be useful to tally up at the end of the month and help identify any changes you may need to make to your business budget. You may also want to include an expense tracking graph at the end of the month to identify your business spending’s highs and lows, which may be useful data for the future. 2. Social Media Posting Schedule As a small business owner or social media professional, it’s essential to keep track of your social media posting and engagement with potential customers. You can easily add a column to your regular weekly spread to include an idea for a social media post for the day and rate your level of engagement for the day. Additionally, you can keep a spread that tracks your followers in a graph throughout the month so you can see whether your social media posts are having a positive effect on your business. 3. Work Meetings and Events Calendar If you attend lots of meetings and events, then it may be useful to include a separate work meeting and event calendar to your personal one. This can have the same calendar grid format as a regular monthly Planner, but you will have more space to dedicate to the meetings’ details. As with the monthly planner/calendar, you can transfer events and details to your daily log as you need to. 4. Professional Development Plan If you are looking to improve in your career, it is a good idea to keep track of how you plan to get there. For example, keeping track of any courses, you want to take for work. You will be able to look back on your weekly spreads and see how much you are working towards these goals and how much you procrastinate and move tasks on to the next day. Hopefully, this will help you break bad habits and have you working like a boss towards your next goal! 5. Project Management Tracker Whether you’re working on a project with a client or and internal project, we all need an effective project management system. In a way, your bullet journal is essentially one big planning system. But, for specific projects, I suggest making a two-page project management spread. This can include a master task list to keep your project organized. You can also include milestones and targets; which are awesome time management trackers. 6. Mind Maps for Work Life Balance Mind mapping is a great BuJo technique that is used to collate your thoughts and free your overwhelmed brain. This is essentially an organized brain dump. This can be sort helpful for visually sorting your different goals, tasks, and ideas into categories, as well as the order of importance. Some people prefer to use images and doodles to express their thoughts. Others go for a more minimalistic approach. There are no rules to your mind mapping page. This can be as neat or as messy as you’d like. The key is to get all your thoughts onto the page and out of your mind. How Do I Create a Bullet Journal for Work? Starting your journal doesn’t have to be complicated either. It all boils down to the medium that you’re comfortable with. If you’re creating a bullet journal for business, this process may include doodles of what you envision your product and services to be. For those of you looking to start your own business. BoJo is great for brainstorming logo designs, office layouts, and even the employees you wish to hire. Starting a business bullet journal can be inexpensive. Check out my cheap bullet journal supplies post for some ideas; as well as the best bullet journals for work. Use Bullet Journaling to Sky Rocket Your Business Productivity It would help if you took advantage of the bullet journalling method for your business. It can be so easy for things to become easily confused in our brains within a clear organization system. You may choose to write your thoughts down in a regular diary, but the bullet journal for business process ensures you keep yourself accountable and allows yourself to quickly move tasks to a day that you can complete them. With the bullet journalling system, you have the flexibility of creating the spreads that work for you, and you can decide how much space they need to take up. If you need to focus a lot of finances and want this to be a primary focus for your business journal, you can easily create finance trackers and graphs and goal pages to see your progress in meeting your financial goals. If your focus is on building a more substantial social media presence and engagement with followers, you may choose to focus your journal more on post scheduling and post ideas. The system’s beauty is the flexibility that it affords you and that flexibility ultimately leads to spreads that improve your productivity! Keep to Rapid Logging Here’s the thing, journaling and taking notes can sometimes be time-consuming. And, when you’re a busy entrepreneur or work professional, that’s time you don’t have. Bullet Journaling for work should not feel like a chore. It should feel helpful and a useful way to collate your professional thoughts and goals. Rapid logging is the habit of keeping your journal short, bulleted, and coded for effective referencing. To do this, organize your notes by topics, number your pages, and stick to writing short sentences and bullets. This will not only speed up your note-taking, it will enhance productivity and overall bullet journaling experience. Why not use a digital bullet journal? Well, the traditional bullet journal method suits people who work better with analog productivity tools. For some people, the simple act of writing something down with pen and paper can help them to remember better, and the creative design aspect of the bullet journal gives you the motivation to keep using it. That being said, there are some great digital journaling systems that exist for those who prefer a more technology built process. Bullet Journaling for Work Anxiety When you have a thousand ideas in your mind, it’s easy to get drowned with everything. From inventory management to hiring employees, from manufacturing your product and marketing, most aspiring entrepreneurs get too overpowered, they quit before they even start a project. Journaling in general has been proven to have many mental health benefits. Here are some ways to keep your cool and become more productive with journaling: - Visualize what you want to achieve. - Get educated. - Eliminate self-limiting beliefs - Acknowledge the gap and confusion. - Create a plan and stick to them. - Trust your instinct and get moving. The key to everything mentioned is to have a “business bible,” a go-to guide and journal to keep you on track in your journey to success. It becomes a MAP that’ll help you navigate your way through the business jungle. Planning is crucial in the journey. And that’s what bullet journals do. “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”Zig Ziglar Don’t fret before you even start. Your “business bible” doesn’t have to be as academic and professional as others usually make. Customize your own, reflecting your own style and taste. One way to do that is to create and doodle your bullet journal. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Everything will settle down in due time. Use this opportunity when things become overwhelming to go assess and go back to your storyboard. Doodle your bullet journal and watch the magic unfold right before your eyes. Liberate yourself from the toxicity and self-limiting beliefs that held you down. Let your inner artist shine through and color your life again. Find healing within to energize your wounded soul and spirit. And when your cup is full, go back and conquer the world. Overall, a bullet journal for business is a great way to organize both your personal and work life. And, you can personalize it to your specific needs! Make sure you have your bullet journal at work or with you. If you work from home, keep your journal in your desk or office. This will help you to keep up with your monthly and daily bullet journal spreads to ensure you are squeezing the most productivity out of the system. Remember, no single bullet journal method will work for everyone, and it is a process to find what works for you and your business needs. There is no harm in trying a spread that doesn’t work for you. Experiment and figure out how you are going to bolster your productivity.

Cybersecurity in healthcare is incredibly important. Unlike being able to cancel your credit card when your details are stolen, stolen healthcare information can’t be “cancelled”. As such, cybersecurity in the healthcare sector is incredibly important and now Trend Micro has joined the fight. The cybersecurity firm has announced that it has achieved the AWS Healthcare Competency. This is important as it signals to potential customers that Trend Micro is able to meet the security needs of healthcare providers using the AWS platform. “AWS Healthcare Competency Partners have demonstrated technical expertise and customer success in building healthcare solutions on AWS that securely store, process, transmit, and analyze clinical information,” reads a description of the competency. As the healthcare sector is unique, providers in this space need to have a deep understanding of a client’s needs. The cybersecurity firm says, citing data from HIPAA Journal, that in 2021, 12 500 attacks against healthcare institutions were reported and over 176 million patient records have been lost since 2009. These sorts of incidents are only set to become more frequent and widespread as healthcare providers move to digital environments. “Our flexible solutions are designed to address current and emerging threats and as an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, we are equipped to help healthcare institutions more easily address industry regulations and standards including HIPAA, NIST, PCI-DSS, HITRUST and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),” explains cloud solutions architect at Trend Micro, Russell Young. “Trend Micro understands the healthcare industry’s unique security requirements, and we provide layered solutions that fit your existing infrastructure, won’t strain their IT resources, and will grow and change in step with your evolving IT strategy,” adds Young. With the AWS Healthcare Competency under its belt, Trend Micro now boasts over 15 AWS competencies and designations for its cloud security solutions. [Image – CC 0 Pixabay]

Here is a list of diseases and problems associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra that can be treated successfully with Hypnosis. Abdominal cramps, Acidity, Anorexia, Bulimia, Chronic tiredness, Diabetes, Digestive problems, Eating disorder, Fear, Food Allergies, Gastritis, Gall bladder problems, Gall stones, Heartburn, Hepatitis, Jaundice, Kidney problems, Less immunity, Liver problem, Pancreatitis, Peptic Ulcer, Smoking, Stomach problems, Shingles, Ulcers and Vomiting. Solar Plexus Chakra Imbalance The chakra system distributes the flow of prana or energy throughout your subtle body. Stress, illness, emotional upset, or conflict all can cause blockages or imbalance in your chakra system. All of the seven chakras are interconnected; when one chakra experiences a blockage or imbalance, it affects all the others. This disruption of energy can cause your mind, body, and spirit to suffer. When the solar plexus chakra is imbalanced, it can bring a lack of control in your life as well as a loss of identity. If you are working towards becoming a leader, improving your self-esteem, or trying to discover your authentic self, it is important that you open and balance your solar plexus chakra. Under-active Solar Plexus Chakra – When a chakra is under-active, it means that the chakra is experiencing a blockage or is not distributing the flow of energy, which can affect your overall well being. When your solar plexus chakra is under active, you may be experiencing a sense of lack of control and purpose in life. When the solar plexus chakra becomes blocked, it often leads to emotional problems, ranging from feeling powerless to self-doubting. Open the Navel Chakra (yellow). This chakra encircles confidence, especially when in a group. When open, you should feel in control and have a good feeling of dignity in yourself. If it’s under-active: you tend to be passive and indecisive. You could be frequently apprehensive and this doesn’t reward you. If it’s over-active: you tend to be imperious and aggressive. Sit on your knees, with your back straight, but relaxed. Put your hands before your stomach, slightly below your solar plexus. Let the fingers join at the tops, all pointing away from you. Cross the thumbs and straighten the fingers (this is important). Concentrate on the Navel Chakra and what it stands for, at the spine, slightly above the navel. Silently, yet clearly, chant the sound “RAM.” All this time, let yourself relax, even more, continuing to think about the chakra, it’s meaning, and how it does or should affect your life. Key Characteristics of the Solar Plexus Chakra - Identity – As the core of your personality and identity, the solar plexus chakra allows you to bloom into your authentic self and discover who you truly are. - Personal Power – The solar plexus chakra is the source of your personal power. This empowers you to take control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions. - Willpower – Working with your personal power, your solar plexus chakra gives you the willpower and self-discipline to get things done. - Confidence – The solar plexus chakra is responsible for your self-esteem and how you view yourself. It also gives you the confidence to make decisions and feel self-assured. - Intention & Action – Your solar plexus chakra gives you the power to transform your thought into action. Emotions and Behaviors related with the Solar Plexus Chakra It is very necessary to know which chakra is affected by what emotions and behavioral patterns. Anxiety, anger, aggressive, bitterness, blame others, careless towards self and others, chronic issues, control issues, doesn’t stand up for what is right, denial of self-power, dwell on past, dread, dominating, egoistic, feel doomed, fear of rejection, feel powerless, felt unloved as a child, indecisive, keep justifying, low self-esteem, low self, confidence, passive, self-criticize, suppressed feelings, unresolved issues, unable to make decisions, unexpressed emotions-love, fear and anger.

Keep pubdate and add moddate Back in November I wrote a bit about defending the pubdate attribute in HTML5’s <time> element which is currently under proposal to be removed from the HTML5 specification. Well I finally found the time to write a change proposal requesting that the pubdate attribute remain, and for a moddate attribute to be added. The pubdate attribute is already in widespread use, since many WordPress themes already use it. Since that fact alone greatly helped the <time> element to be reinstated in the HTML5 specification, surely it should carry some weight here too. Marat Tanalin also recommends keeping the pubdate attribute and also recommends a moddate type attribute ( pubupdate). I had somehow missed his recommendations.

Karapatan Public Info Desk, Press Statement, August 21, 2012 – As the nation today commemorates the 29th death anniversary of Ninoy Aquino and reflects on the ideals of the man, Karapatan secretary general Cristina Palabay said, “with the current human rights situation in the country — the bombings of communities, extrajudicial killings, disappearances, arbitrary arrests and detention — we can’t help but wonder, if there is a Ninoy in each one of us, where is Ninoy in Noynoy?” Ninoy Aquino, Pres. Noynoy’s father, was a prominent figure in the Filipino people’s struggle against the Marcos dictatorship. He was a high-profile political prisoner during martial law. “Like the 385 political prisoners at present, Ninoy was jailed because of trumped up charges of murder, illegal possession of firearms and other criminal offenses. Despite the opportunity to correct this practice and stop human rights violations, as he witnessed the suffering of his own father, Noynoy refused to release all the political prisoners. In fact, he has perpetuated the same forms of injustice inflicted against their family. Like the dictator Marcos, he declared that there are no political prisoners at present,” added Palabay. Karapatan, as of June 30, 2012, has documented 170 political prisoners arrested and detained in the two years of Noynoy’s presidency. “Ninoy fought oppression perpetrated by the Marcos dictatorship. That included abuses and human rights violations committed by the military under the command of Marcos. Ninoy decried not only the arrests and detention that was widespread among the opposition and those suspected to be communists but also the intense military operations in the countryside that victimized hundreds of thousands of Filipinos,” said Palabay. According to Karapatan, the same human rights violations and culture of impunity that was a trademark of martial law did not end with Marcos but continue up to the present. Palabay added that, “the paramilitary units still exist today, though with a different name; checkpoints, illegal searches and military detachments in communities are still on; forced evacuation of the population in the countryside, torture, killings and disappearances that were widely practiced in Marcos’ time are still prevalent under Noynoy.” As of June 30, 2012, almost 30,000 individuals have become victims of forced evacuation documented by Karapatan under Noynoy Aquino. “The nation would again commemorate Ninoy’s death and remember his fight against oppression; Noynoy would again recall their family’s agony during the days of martial law and how his father suffered in jail. But two years after Noynoy’s presidency, and with the prevailing air of impunity, Noynoy has yet to show the Ninoy in him,” concluded Palabay. ### Reference: Cristina “Tinay” Palabay, Secretary General, +63917-5003879 Angge Santos, Media Liaison,+63918-9790580 PUBLIC INFORMATION DESK Alliance for the Advancement of People’s Rights 2nd Flr.

Here’s the other thing about dodgeball. Just when you get a clear shot at the big gun, you get picked off by the quick little player you never saw coming. You never get to deal with marketing problems one at a time. They all need your attention now. So you do have to pay attention to media, content, SEO and the rest…you just have to do it all under the umbrella of your brand. And in fact, how you handle brand issues often dictates how you do the rest — who you reach out to via media, what kind of content you create, which searchers you try to attract. So keep your eye on all the balls, all the time.

Short film Apricot, starring Ewan Leslie and Laura Gordan, was recently voted best narrative film at the inaugural 2010 Vimeo Awards. The Vimeo Festival & Awards honour the best in online film and video from around the world in multiple categories, with finalists culled from over 6500 submissions by a group of judges. Vimeo counts more than 3 million members and its users upload 16,000 new videos daily and make more than 5000 daily comments. Apricot, written and directed by Cherub Pictures' Ben Briand, screened on the opening night of this year's St Kilda Film Festival and at the 32nd Moscow International Film Festival 2010. "The online success of the film via Vimeo is a true testament to our release strategy and capacity for the film to reach its audience," Briand said. "Apricot really found its audience through non-conventional channels and viewing mediums, with far more people having watched the film online than through the traditional festival environment. "It’s now achieved well over 300,000 views online, has been translated into over a dozen languages and has featured on over 200 blogs across a variety of film, photography, fashion and advertising sites worldwide. Attending the inaugural Vimeo festival in New York was an amazing experience but receiving this accolade from the audience and the Vimeo users is pretty overwhelming."

HSE is only 25, so as a young university we love everything, new, fresh and high-tech. Since we are all one big family, it’s time we asked you, as family members, for advice on one key question: what does HSE lack? What should we have that we don’t yet? Have you been struck by something you’ve seen in practice at another university, that we don’t offer, but should? Why reinvent the wheel, if we can rent them, and if we come to like them, we can always keep them. We’ve prepared great prizes for the most interesting initiatives – real bikes!

Dalianda launches a 3kW power supply solution based on onsemi products January 16, 2024a leading semiconductor component distributor dedicated to the Asia-Pacific market---Dalianda Holdings announced that itsYoushangroll outbased on3KW high-density power supply solution for onsemi NCP1681 and NCP4390 chips and SiC MOSFET. At present, both the transformation of automobile electrification and the rapid development of emerging markets such as photovoltaics and energy storage have played a positive role in promoting sustainable development of society. Against this background, the industry's demand for more compact and efficient power supplies is increasing. To meet this need,Dalian Dayou has launched a 3KW high-density power supply solution based on onsemi NCP1681 high-power totem pole PFC controller and NCP4390 LLC controller and SiC MOSFET to facilitate high-efficiency and small-size power supply design. Figure 2 - Scenario application diagram of Dalian Dayoushang’s 3KW high-density power supply solution based on onsemi products In order to reduce losses, this solution eliminates the input rectifier diode, uses a totem pole PFC circuit and 650V SiC MOSFET, and uses a controlled LLC converter design with synchronous rectification function on the secondary side. Among them, the PFC-level solution uses onsemi NCP1681 totem pole PFC controller, which can operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and critical conduction mode (CrM). In addition, NCP1681 has fast load transient compensation response, various protection functions and PFC-OK signal supply and post-stage power sequence control, which is very suitable for scenarios that require high efficiency, high power factor and high stability PFC. Figure 3 - 3KW Totem Pole PFC and Secondary Side Regulated LLC Power Supply Using SiC MOSFETs At the LLC level, S1 and S2 form a half-bridge. The resonant bridge consists of an inductor Lr, a capacitor Cr and a transformer. In the circuit, an NCP4390 controller is used to control six MOSFETs in the application. The primary-side MOSFET is driven directly by the electrically isolated dual half-bridge driver NCP51561. The isolation junction half-bridge driver NCP81705 drives a secondary-side MOSFET with a lower isolation voltage rating than the primary-side PFC device but with a higher operating switching frequency. NCP4390 is a current mode LLC controller that makes the dynamic response of LLC easier. When operating, the NCP4390 also significantly improves load regulation performance, which can compensate for sudden load changes without waiting for voltage changes and frequency response through a resonant circuit. Figure 4 - Half-bridge LLC resonant converter with center-tapped half-bridge output stage The SiC MOS device in this solution supports high-frequency PFC and uses an advanced totem pole bridgeless PFC controller and a high-frequency LLC stage with an operating frequency of up to 150KHz. It uses high-efficiency full-bridge synchronous rectification on the output stage to achieve high power density. Figure 5-Block diagram of Dalian Dayoushang’s 3KW high-density power supply solution based on onsemi products This solution has excellently completed the AC to DC power supply design. It uses a totem pole controller plus a half-bridge resonant full-wave synchronous rectification output for efficient conversion. The power supply unit can accept input voltages from 80VAC to 240VAC and can provide 48V or 54V DC output. In addition, thanks to these advanced devices, the power density of this solution exceeds 40W/in3 and the full load efficiency is 98.4% ▌Core technology advantages Using advanced totem pole controller NCP1681; Wide input voltage range; PFC controller with multi-mode operation: CCM or Multi-mode (CCM+CrM); LLC controller with multi-mode operation: PFM+PWM+SKIP mode or PFM+SKIP mode; Titanium grade power supply design solution; Low power protection, overload protection, thermal protection; Using current control mode, it has excellent load and line transient response and stable output under any conditions; Extremely low no-load consumption; This 3KW power supply unit accepts input voltages from 80VAC-240VAC and provides 48V or 54V DC output.

How much do you know about the “wireless” mechanism in wireless communications? (Part 2) Communication technology is still advancing, especially through wireless technologies such as 5G, the Internet of Things, and digitization. The first part of this article briefly reviewed the historical evolution of wireless communications and introduced the basic composition and applications of wireless communication systems. Here we introduce you to the data transmission direction, communication protocols, and basic knowledge about radio waves: Table of contents 01. Introduction: History and Evolution of Wireless Communications 02. What is wireless communication? 03. Application examples of wireless communication 04. Basic components of wireless communication systems 05. Wireless communication methods 06. Data transmission direction 07. What is a communication protocol? 08. Appendix: Introduction to radio waves and their frequencies Data transmission direction: bidirectional (full duplex/half duplex) and unidirectional Whether it is wireless or wired, the transmission form where data is transmitted is an important specification for communication applications. This form can be divided into two-way transmission and one-way transmission. Bidirectional transmission can be further divided into full-duplex transmission and half-duplex transmission. Below, we explain the various transfer forms. Bidirectional transmission is a transmission form that is considered to account for a considerable proportion of current digital communication equipment. There are two methods of full-duplex transmission and half-duplex transmission. It should be noted here that terms such as "download/upload" and "downlink/uplink" are often heard in bidirectional transmission. If the terminal or PC you are using is regarded as device A, receiving data from device B is called downloading, and conversely, sending data from device A to device B is called uploading. In addition, if the data transmission itself is not important, but the connection between device A and device B, such as the connection between the terminal and the base station, is very important, it is called downlink/uplink. Full duplex transmission As shown in the figure above, this is a transmission form that can conduct data communication and conversation in both directions (duplex) from device A to device B and from device B to device A at the same time. Additionally, when signals for reception and transmission (sometimes called "Rx" and "Tx" respectively) are assigned different frequencies, the electronic component that separates them is called a duplexer (shown in orange). Typical examples of bidirectional transmission include landlines, mobile phones, smartphones, etc. (direct direction between terminals). If it is a form in which device A and device B transmit data by switching between sending and receiving, this form is different from full-duplex transmission because data cannot be transmitted in both directions at the same time, which is called half-duplex transmission ( Half-duplex transmission), as shown in Figure 8-2a and 8-2b: half duplex transmission An application example of half-duplex transmission is a transceiver. One-way transmission is a form of transmission in which data is transmitted from device A to device B in only one direction (one-way) between device A (sender) and device B (receiver), as shown in the figure below: Examples of one-way transmission are AM/FM radio broadcasts, remote controls using radio waves, etc. What is a communication protocol? So far, we have given an overview of wireless communications from a hardware perspective. On the other hand, software is also important in setting up telecommunications, whether wireless or wired. That is the communication convention known as a communication protocol or protocol. A protocol is a set of steps and rules used in data communication (digital communication) systems, including computers, to transmit data to each other without errors between different systems. The figure below shows an example of the role of data transfer-related protocols. The role of communication protocols using full-duplex communication as an example In order to transmit data reliably, protocols for multiple roles and functions need to be specified, such as control steps, data structures and interfaces, etc., with a wide range and a huge amount of data. If the protocol is fixed to one model, it will be difficult to cope with version upgrades such as adding content to the protocol or changing the protocol. To make upgrading easier, roles and functions were assigned to each protocol and a hierarchy was created for these protocols. This systematically organized protocol structure is called a protocol stack (sometimes also called a protocol suite or network architecture). The protocol stack has been modeled according to international standards and is called the OSI Basic Reference Model (table below). OSI Reference Model Protocol Stack In reality, this model is not used, but a protocol stack with appropriate specifications (high data transmission efficiency, high data transmission reliability, etc.) is used for each purpose. The following table takes the TCP/IP model used by Internet standards and the protocol stack in the Bluetooth® LE model as examples to show the correspondence with the OSI basic reference model. Descriptions of the layers in the TCP/IP model and Bluetooth® LE model have been omitted, but you can see that there are fewer layers and some layers are omitted. OSI reference model, TCP/IP model and Bluetooth® LE protocol stack In addition, the mechanism of 4G LTE and 5G communication is through base stations, so their communication protocols are more complex than TCP/IP and Bluetooth® LE models. Attachment: About radio waves and their frequencies Electric waves, like motion and heat, are a form of energy, also known as electromagnetic waves (in fact, light is also a type of electromagnetic waves). According to Japan’s Radio Wave Law and the Wireless Communications Regulations attached to the International Telecommunications Convention, radio waves are defined as electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 3000GHz or lower. These waves are emitted from wireless devices, but actually visualizing them is not easy. Therefore, we will explain the generation and propagation of radio waves by using the phenomenon that occurs when sinusoidal alternating current passes through conductor rods such as metal, so that you can understand it more easily. Schematic diagram of radio wave propagation The image above shows how the radio waves are traveling at this time. In fact, electric waves propagate in three dimensions, but here we focus on the waves propagating in a direction perpendicular to the conductor to show how they propagate. The electric and magnetic fields remain at right angles (orthogonal) to each other. Changes in the magnetic field create an electric field, and changes in the electric field create a magnetic field. This effect repeats itself and propagates as sinusoidal vibrations. The main properties of radio waves are as follows: ・Electric waves are transverse waves in which the amplitude (intensity) of the electric and magnetic fields changes perpendicularly relative to the direction of travel, and the electric and magnetic fields also propagate perpendicularly to each other; ・The propagation speed of radio waves is the same as the speed of light; ・ Radio waves have no medium (the air vibrates and propagates in the form of waves, and the sound is felt when it reaches the human ear. At this time, the air is called the medium). Although the above-mentioned properties of radio waves without a medium are far from our daily perception, it is currently believed that radio waves propagating even in a vacuum like outer space are generated by the vibration of electric and magnetic fields in space itself. By the way, at the beginning we pointed out that radio waves are electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 3000 GHz or lower. The frequency f (Hz) can be calculated by f = c/λ, where the radio wave wavelength λ (m) is as shown in the previous figure, and c (3×108 m/s) is the speed of light. Electromagnetic waves are divided into several types based on frequency and wavelength (picture below): Classification of electromagnetic waves by frequency and wavelength When beginners understand radio waves, they especially need to understand the concepts of electric fields and magnetic fields. The electric field is the action space of electric force, and the magnetic field is the action space of magnetic force. The figure below is a schematic diagram using arrow lines to indicate the range of the electric field generated by applying a voltage and the range of the magnetic field generated around the magnet. Schematic diagram of the coverage of electric and magnetic fields Beginners often see a schematic diagram of radio wave propagation (picture below) that is a simple combination of the phenomena of changing a magnetic field to produce an electric field and changing an electric field to produce a magnetic field. If you want to study radio waves seriously because it is related to antennas, etc., please do not understand it based on this diagram! Intuitive radio wave propagation diagram The correct way to understand it is to understand it according to the schematic diagram of radio wave propagation in this section - that is, the schematic diagram of the vectors (electric field vector and magnetic field vector) after the intensity of the electric field and magnetic field are represented by arrows (derived from Maxwell's equations). If understood from a conscious diagram, the radio waves used in BS broadcasting are described as circularly polarized radio waves that propagate in a spiral shape while the electric field vector in the radio wave propagation diagram rotates to the left or right. The electric field vector and the magnetic field vector in the radio wave propagation diagram are both vectors that represent rightward rotation and rotation speed (in this sense, they are also called "rotation vectors"). Neither represents the direction in which something like an object is moving, like a velocity vector does. Both lead to Maxwell's equations - the fundamental equations related to electromagnetic fields, expressing all relationships between electricity and magnetism. Coulomb's law, which beginners learn about electromagnetism, can also be derived from this equation. #wireless #mechanism #wireless #communications #Part - High-speed current impact test system facilitates efficient testing of new energy vehicle wiring harnesses - Area array CCD structure diagram and working process analysis - Input-output relationship and circuit application diagram of voltage follower - How to keep driving heavy loads when the voltage drops? - Novel theory-based evaluation gives a clearer picture of fusion in the sun - What are the disadvantages of IC temperature sensors? - Control transformer overcurrent protection, grounding and applications - What is the difference between chip packaging and SMD? - Design and application of dry multi-channel priority amplifier - Can igbt directly replace thyristor?

In this regard, it has been reported that CIS may also exert its apoptotic activity by caspase independent pathways. PTX is a strong inhibitor of phosphodiesterase activ research only ity. In murine lymphoma and U937 human monocyte cell line, it also prevents activation NF B in these cells by inhibition Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries of the phosphorylation of serine 32 in I B complex. Thus preventing TNF a secretion and expression of certain antiapoptotic genes that possess antioxidant activity. Contrariwise, CIS promotes the formation of reactive oxygen species, which pro voke apoptosis or senescence. We also studied the phosphorylation of different pro teins that are important for proliferation, differentiation, cell survival, apoptosis and senescence such as ERK1 2 and p38 from the family of mitogen activated protein kinases and phosphorylation of the p65 subu nit of NF Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries B and related I B proteins. Induction of death by CIS has been associated with increase in p38 and ERK1 2 activity. We observed this activity Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries in SiHa and HeLa cells, but it has been demonstrated that ERK1 2 activity induced by CIS can cause resistance in SiHa cells, gastric cancer cells, and human myeloid leukemic cells. PTX decrease ERK1 2 phosphorylation in SiHa cells, this disrupts resistance to CIS, because when we utilized PTX, apoptosis was higher than in CIS treated cells. Is it noteworthy that, PTX decreased the phosphorylation of p65 and I Ba, thus resulting in the inhibition of nuclear translo cation of NF B and avoiding the cell survival and resis tance observed in CIS treated cells. NF B can activate different genes related with the cell survival such as Bcl 2 and Bcl XL. Its important to stress that PTX by itself or in combination with CIS disrupt the NF B pathway. We observe an inhibition of phos phorylation the I Ba, p65 and decrease the levels of anti apoptotic proteins Bcl 2 and Bcl XL in HeLa and SiHa cells. This is important because these antiapoptotic proteins Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries confer resistance to several chemotherapeutic agents including CIS, gemcitabine, vincristine, etoposide, doxorubicin, and paclitaxel. In our study, PTX significantly disrupted the CIS resistance in HeLa and Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries SiHa cell by blocking the NF B mediated survival pathway. PTX possesses an additive effect with CIS, the com bined usage of these two drugs promotes apoptosis of cervical tumor cells and at the same time impairs senescence. Our results suggest that PTX action on NF B, ERK1 2, selleck AZD9291 p38, Bcl 2 and Bcl XL proteins and caspases can explain the fact that it does not induce senescence, but does increase apoptosis in HeLa and SiHa cells. In addi tion, when we employed PTX in combination with CIS, it impaired CIS induced senescence and increased the sensitivity of these cervix cancer cells to this drug. Therefore, we think that PTX could be used to abrogate NF B induced resistance mechanisms without severe systemic toxicity.

I was having a conversation with a few others about Jesus a few weeks ago and for much of it, the main thought running through my mind was, “This isn’t how it’s supposed to go.” There was no clicking with any of my analogies or stories. There was no dawning realization of the amazingness of Jesus. And there was certainly no life-changing “salvation moment”. Now, I didn’t actually expect the latter, but I had sneaky hopes on the first two…maybe at least an opening to possibilities…but no. And it just reinforced the idea that I simply am not an evangelist – at least in the traditional understanding of the word, ie I am not good at verbally sharing my faith with non-Christians. The conversation left me feeing very upset with myself and full of guilt that I hadn’t done a good job of representing who Jesus really is. As it happens, this conversation came about as I was preparing a talk for Ignite centered on Jesus in the Old Testament. So not exactly a morale booster leading into the talk, in fact, I wondered if I should even be speaking at all. Some things that we learn at a young age are very hard to shake off. Especially when they are learned in the context of “spiritual truths”. As a young Christian eager to soak up knowledge, I accepted the “fact” that good disciples of Christ had to be good evangelists. And good evangelists could talk about Jesus anywhere, with anyone, at any time. In the thirty-odd years since, God has graciously revealed spiritual truths that are both wider and more detailed at the same time, as well as reinforcing one truth that has remained exactly the same throughout everything: His grace covers all. I still have an automatic kickback reaction when moments like that conversation happen. I go through a period of wallowing in self-disgust and general ickiness (there really is no better word). But then He gives me a gentle nudge, a foot up, and sometimes even a great big “well done, my child.” Turns out, I just prefer the written to spoken word. Whatever way my brain is wired, I communicate better through “pen and paper” (remember those things?) than through my lips. I also love logically explaining things, lining up facts and examples. And I am a fiend for analogies that are relatable and bring about connection and understanding. These aren’t necessarily great traits for a conversationalist, but they’re actually pretty useful for teachers. The APEST (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, Teacher) assessment was one of those “wider, more detailed spiritual truths” that God graciously led me to. Turns out, it’s ok that I’m not an evangelist (however you define it). He doesn’t need or require me to be one. He just asks that I use the gifts I was given in a way that serves Him and others. Turns out, when you are using your natural-born gifts to serve, it’s actually a delight and privilege as opposed to a chore and responsibility. And when I do feel I have “failed”, He reminds me: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor 12:9

Project: Learning to Draw this one is called "waiting" :) I've always been annoyed at people who say I can't do math. And, totally hypocritically, I've been insisting that I cannot draw for longer than I can remember. I think this goes back to having to take required art class every year in Russia. The teacher never failed to tell me how much I sucked at it. So, of course, I had my mom do my take-home projects, and stuck to the classes that I was good at. Now, when you look at this first picture I drew, you might say. Yeah, you really can't draw. And you're right! But I'm going to take a few minutes every day to practice, and see how I improve over time. Until next time!

Alright, let’s hit the road and talk about a subject that’s as practical as changing a flat tire – your vehicle emergency kit. Because, let’s face it, life on the road can throw unexpected curves your way, and having the right gear in your trunk is like having a superhero cape for your car. But we’re not going to make it sound like a military operation. Instead, picture this as your friendly guide to assembling a no-nonsense emergency kit that’ll have your back when the unexpected happens. Let’s start with the essentials – the backbone of your vehicle emergency kit. Think of these items as the reliable sidekicks that will have your back when your car decides to throw a surprise party of malfunctions. - First on the list is the mighty jumper cables. They’re like the superheroes of dead batteries, swooping in to bring your car back to life. Whether you’re the knight in shining armor for a fellow driver or you find yourself in need, jumper cables are a non-negotiable essential. - Next up, the spare tire and the tools to change it. A flat tire is nobody’s wet dream but it can strike without warning at any time. Having a functional spare tire, a jack, and a tire iron can transform you into the tire-changing hero the situation demands. - Now, let’s talk about light. This means both a flashlight and glow sticks. Because car trouble doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and sometimes you need a little extra illumination to figure out what’s going on under the hood. A flashlight and some glow sticks are like the backstage crew, making sure you can see the show even when the lights go out. - Moving on to a basic toolkit now. It doesn’t have to be a fancy one, just the essentials like screwdrivers, pliers, and an adjustable wrench. They’re like the Swiss army knife of car repairs, ready to tackle minor issues and keep you on the road. - Last but not least, a first aid kit. Accidents happen, and having a basic first aid kit is like having a medic in your trunk. It doesn’t have to rival a hospital, just the basics to tend to minor injuries and keep everyone in good shape until help arrives. Tools and Gadgets Now, let’s shift gears and talk about the tools and gadgets that can turn you into a roadside MacGyver. These are the items that go beyond the basics, ready to tackle unexpected challenges and keep your car cruising smoothly. First up, a portable tire inflator. It’s like a magic wand for under-inflated tires, giving them a boost and saving you from the hassle of finding the nearest gas station with a working air pump. Compact and easy to use, a portable tire inflator is the hero your tires deserve. Next on the list is a multipurpose tool or a survival knife. It might sound a bit dramatic, but having a tool that combines functionalities like cutting seatbelts, breaking windows, and even serving as a screwdriver can be a game-changer in unexpected situations. It’s like the Swiss army knife for your car. Now, let’s talk about a power bank or a portable charger. In the age of smartphones and GPS, running out of battery on the road can feel like losing your lifeline. Having a power bank ensures that you stay connected, whether it’s calling for help or navigating your way out of a tricky situation. Moving on to a compact shovel – a handy gadget for when your car decides to take a detour into a snowbank or mud puddle. It might not be a glamorous tool, but it can be the difference between being stuck and getting back on the road. And let’s not forget about a reflective triangle or roadside flares. They’re like the emergency signal for your car, ensuring that other drivers see you and giving them a heads-up to steer clear. Safety first, right? Now, let’s talk about a seemingly simple but often overlooked aspect of your vehicle emergency kit – snacks. Yes, you read that right. Because when you find yourself stranded or waiting for assistance, a stash of snacks can transform your roadside predicament from stressful to, dare I say it, a bit more bearable. Think of snacks as the morale boosters for your car journey. A mix of non-perishable goodies like granola bars, nuts, and dried fruit can keep your energy up and your spirits lifted when you’re facing unexpected delays. It’s like having a mini pantry in your trunk, ready to curb hunger and keep everyone in good spirits. Now, you might wonder, why snacks? Well, picture this: you’re stuck on the side of the road, waiting for help or for your car to cool down. Having a few snacks on hand can turn the situation from a mini-crisis into a moment to recharge. It’s not just about satisfying your taste buds; it’s about maintaining your energy levels and keeping everyone in the car content. Snacks won’t fix a flat tire or jumpstart a dead battery, but they can certainly make the wait a bit more palatable and give you much-needed fuel until you wait. So, next time you’re packing your emergency kit, throw in a mix of snacks. Make sure it’s the kind that won’t go stale or melt in the summer heat. Your future hungry self will thank you for the foresight. First and foremost, let’s talk about your vehicle documents. Keep a copy of your vehicle registration, insurance information, and any relevant identification in a waterproof pouch. Think of it as the paperwork version of a raincoat for your car’s essential documents. It ensures that even in less-than-ideal conditions, you have the necessary information on hand. Next on the list is an emergency contact list. Jot down the contact information for your loved ones, your roadside assistance provider, and anyone else you might need to reach in case of an emergency. It’s like having a lifeline at your fingertips, ensuring that help is just a phone call away. Now, let’s touch on a not-so-fun but necessary item – a pen and paper. In our digital age, we often overlook old-school tools, but they can be invaluable when you need to leave a note, exchange information, or simply jot down important details. Last but not least, consider having a local map in your emergency kit. Yes, GPS is fantastic, but what if you find yourself in an area with a poor signal or a dead battery? A paper map can be your trusty guide, helping you navigate your way out of a tricky situation. In a Nutshell In conclusion, assembling a vehicle emergency kit isn’t about preparing for doomsday. If you really think about it, then it’s more about being the savvy road traveler who’s ready for whatever the journey might throw their way. So, grab your checklist, keep it practical, and let’s make sure your car is equipped for the adventure – no matter where the road leads.

Reviewing T-RackS 5 MAX in the April 2018 issue of Sound on Sound, studio sound expert John Walden was impressed by the variety and quality of the emulations available. Here are some of the key comments from his extensive review: "One that's worth paying attention to: the Equal Gain button. With this engaged, T-RackS does its best to match the apparent level of the processed and unprocessed versions of the audio. This makes it easy to check that your processing chain is preserving the sonic quality, without your ears being fooled simply by volume increases. This is an important, and very useful, feature." "T-RackS 5 MAX would take you from zero to hero in one step." "The visual design and workflow are slick and, if you have passed your 'Loudness Wars 101' class, the metering options offer more than enough to help keep you on the straight and narrow when it comes to getting your output levels in the loudness sweet spot for your musical genre." "IK's own designs are the existing Classic and Linear Phase EQs, plus the new EQual. With 10 bands, very transparent operation and extremely precise control, this is a sophisticated tool." "The Saturator X is an interesting take on tape saturation, with multiple modes. Used gently, it can add some subtle analogue style warmth in a mastering context, but you can also really cook things if you want something more obvious for an individual track within a mix." "I was actually very impressed at how easy the ONE module makes it to do a basic mastering job when your starting point is a solid mix ... and I can imagine those new to DIY mastering finding this a really great place to start." "The bottom line here is that even the standard edition is a perfectly capable mastering package; by the time you reach the MAX version, it offers an almost endless set of options including the ability to add 'character' using the various emulations of classic EQ and dynamics hardware." John's final verdict is: "Whichever version suits your needs, this is a quality product that has matured nicely to offer both a comprehensive mastering package and a really good collection of plug-ins for mixing duties." + Standard edition is a great choice for those new to DIY mastering + MAX contains some excellent emulations of hardware classics + Stand-alone version offers an effective and easy-to-use mastering environment Visit Sound on Sound Learn more on T-RackS 5 MAX

A revolution in cancer treatment could soon be underway following a breakthrough that may lead to a dramatic improvement in cancer survival rates. A new study at the University of Warwick, published today in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, has developed a new drug that can manipulate the body’s natural signalling and energy systems, allowing the body to attack and shut down cancerous cells. Called ZL105, the drug is a compound based on the precious metal iridium. The study has found ZL105 could potentially replace currently used anticancer drugs, which become less effective over time, cause a wide-range of side-effects and damage healthy cells as well as cancerous. Commenting on the breakthrough, University of Warwick researcher and study co-author Dr Isolda Romero-Canelon said “The energy-producing machinery in cancer cells works to the limit as it attempts to keep up with quick proliferation and invasion. This makes cancer cells susceptible to minor changes in the cell ‘power-house’. Our drug pushes cancer cells over the limit causing them to slow and shut down, whilst normal cells can cope with its effects”. Preliminary data indicate that the novel drug may be ten times more effective in treating ovarian, colon, melanoma, renal, and some breast cancers, according to data obtained by the US National Cancer Institute. The researchers now aim to expand the study to cancers that are inherently resistant to existing drugs and to those which have developed resistance after a first round of chemotherapy treatments. Study co-author Professor Peter J. Sadler said “Existing cancer treatments often become less effective after the first course, as cancer cells learn how they are being attacked. The drug we have developed is a catalyst and is active at low doses. It can attack cancer cells in multiple ways at the same time, so the cancer is less able to adapt to the treatment. This means the new drugs could be much more effective than existing treatments.” “Platinum-based drugs are used in nearly 50% of all chemotherapeutic regimens, exert their activity by damaging DNA and cannot select between cancerous and non-cancerous cells, leading to a wide-range of side-effects from renal failure to neurotoxicity, ototoxicity, nausea and vomiting. “In contrast, the new iridium-based drug is specifically designed not to attack DNA, but to have a novel mechanism of action, meaning that it could not only dramatically slow down and halt cancer growth, but also significantly reduce the side effects suffered by patients” argues Professor Sadler. This research could also lead to substantial improvements in cancer survival rates. “Current statistics indicate that one in every three people will develop some kind of cancer during their life time, moreover approximately one woman dies of ovarian cancer every two hours in the UK according to Cancer Research UK .It is clear that a new generation of drugs is necessary to save more lives and our research points to a highly effective way of defeating cancerous cells” said Dr Romero-Canelon.

Facebook messenger has added another useful and interesting update for Facebook group admins, which makes group management a lot easier. In The messenger update, there is a new post-level analytics option that will provide more context as to how people are engaging with group updates. Facebook has explained the more about the feature officially by sharing the below statement: “With post-level metrics, admins can easily see the reach of a post with the unique number of people who’ve seen the post as well as engagement by reactions, comments, shares, and clicks. Each post also shows the number of active members in the group at the time of post, a key driver of reach and engagement.” Some of the metrics are the ones that have previously been enabled, but some of them are new and make things much more convenient. For example, options such as reactions, comments, and shares are all displayed on each post and are not new in this update. The main additions are things like photo views, post hides, and active members, which, as Facebook notes, could help to focus your engagement strategies. Who is considered an “active” group member regarding this update? Facebook has a fixed definition for determining who is called an “active” member on a messenger group, which is “A member is considered active at the time of post if they have viewed group content in the group or in News Feed in the past 28 days.” So it’s not people who were actively engaging in the group at the time you posted, its people who’ve been active over the last month. The very well-known social media expert, Matt Navara, has shared this news with us today, telling us that this feature is finally officially rolled out today, but not all users have access to it yet. Facebook says that the option will initially be tested with a small number of groups, on all devices, over the next few months. Note that only posts created after this feature begins testing in your group will show these insights.

Labor Day often gets short shrift as a worker’s holiday. Marked primarily by sales on patio furniture and mattresses, the day also has a more muddled history than May Day, which stands for internationalism and solidarity among the working class. Labor Day, by contrast, was declared a federal holiday in 1894 by President Grover Cleveland, fresh off his administration’s violent suppression of the Pullman railroad strike. But Labor Day was first celebrated twelve years earlier, when a coalition of socialists and labor activists organized a mass march in New York City calling for shorter hours, safer working conditions, increased pay and a labor holiday. On September 5, 1882, 10,000 people took to the streets of New York instead. That history, plus the simple fact that workers deserve more than one holiday, makes Labor Day worth celebrating. And this year, there are more reasons than usual for working people to rejoice. The teacher strike wave rolls on The wave of teacher strikes that began in red states last year has continued apace in some of the biggest U.S. cities. Earlier this year, Los Angeles teachers wrung a hard-won deal from their school district through a week-long strike. A first-ever charter strike in Chicago last year kicked off a domino effect — more than 700 Chicago charter teachers at 22 different campuses have walked off the job in the past year, and they’re winning things previously unthinkable in the traditionally union-free charter industry. An impending teacher strike in Las Vegas is drawing some creative solidarity from students, and the Chicago Teachers Union — whose 2012 walkout arguably laid the groundwork for renewed teacher militancy — could be on the verge of another massive strike. Workers are winning strikes in the private sector, too There’s an important caveat to statistics showing that the number of striking workers is at a two-decade high: Most of this strike activity is still limited to the public sector. In the private sector, there is not yet an equivalent strike wave. There are, however, some encouraging signs. A rare, coordinated strike by workers at nearly 30 hotels in Chicago ended largely in victory (workers at one hotel are still holding out). This spring, locomotive plant workers in Erie, Pennsylvania staged a nine-day strike against the company that purchased their facility and attempted to impose significantly lower wages for new hires. Negotiations continued into the summer, and the deal the union eventually accepted included some concessions. But the strike against a two-tier wage system — long-ago conceded by most manufacturing unions — was an important sign of life in the once-militant sector. Labor support for Green New Deal is on the rise To hear the mainstream media tell it, blue-collar workers are united in their opposition to climate action. In June, Politico published an article citing local labor leaders who leveled a dire warning at Democrats: the Green New Deal is pushing members into the Republican camp. In fact, a survey released this year from the think tank Data for Progress found that 62 percent of current union members back the GND. That figure suggests that while climate activists certainly can’t take labor’s backing as a given, there’s substantial support from workers — and the biggest factor in growing this support is organizing with labor to ensure that the Green New Deal benefits workers, and that they’re at the core of the fight to pass it. This year, the Green New Deal picked up major endorsements from the Service Employees International Union and the Association of Flight Attendants led by president Sara Nelson. In May, Nelson spoke to In These Times about how Green New Deal advocates can engage labor: Make labor central to the discussion, including labor rights, labor protections and labor expertise. We must recognize that labor unions were among the first to fight for the environment because it was our workspaces that had pollutants, our communities that industry polluted. Let’s not dismiss the labor movement. Let’s recognize and engage the infrastructure and experience of the labor movement to make this work. Rank-and-file reformers are gaining traction Speaking of Sara Nelson, her star has been rising since she called for a general strike to end the government shutdown in January, and she could potentially end up succeeding Richard Trumka as the next president of the AFL-CIO. While they’re still few in number, it’s a breath of fresh air to see national labor leaders who come out of the rank-and-file use their positions to encourage, rather than stifle, independent action by workers, happily break bread with socialists and readily draw connections between labor issues and those of climate change and immigration. Labor could actually make gains through the 2020 elections Let’s be honest: Presidential elections have long been a dead-end for unions. Awarding early endorsements without member input and spending millions of dollars on behalf of candidates who won’t even talk about workers’ rights is not a winning strategy. This year could be different. With Democratic candidates scrambling to tack to the left, the primaries are also putting important labor policy ideas back on the table. As Jeremy Gantz reported in July, 2020 candidates are rushing to embrace worker-friendly policies in order to win labor’s support. Bernie Sanders’ Workplace Democracy Plan, in particular, includes ideas that should get a full hearing — ending “at-will” employment, expanding workers’ rights to strike and permitting collective bargaining at the sectoral level. Sanders is also using his campaign infrastructure to turn supporters out for strikes and labor actions, another welcome development for labor when it comes to presidential campaign season. The U.S. labor movement may still be under siege, thanks to powerful anti-union forces, including the Trump administration. But with the approval of unions nearing a 50-year high, and a wave of labor militancy on the rise, working people have plenty to celebrate this Labor Day. I hope you found this article important.

IN THIS ISSUE: - Hamilton’s 2020 Success Stories - COVID Business Impact Survey Results - Economic Development Action Plan Update - Hamilton COVID Concierge for Business - Innovation Factory Receives $6M in Funding - Synapse Winners Announced - Site Selection Magazine Puts Hamilton in Focus - Hamilton Immigration Partnership Council Launches 2021 Strategic Plan - Urban Land Institute Mayoral Series – Hamilton Featured - Hamilton Economic Development Remembers Neil Everson - Upcoming Events Amazon Fulfillment Centre – New Construction Hamilton’s 2020 Success Stories Despite the pandemic, much of Hamilton’s economy continued to operate – and, in fact, thrived in some circumstances. Not only did the City of Hamilton achieve its third best year on record for building permit values in 2020 (approximately $1.3 Billion), but it was also the best year on record for industrial permit activity. We welcomed major global brands like Amazon and Bridgestone, saw continued construction on major Canadian operations from DHL and L3 Harris and construction cranes continued to dot the skyline in our downtown core. COVID Business Impact Survey Results Hamilton’s Economic Development Office, in partnership with Workforce Planning Hamilton and in collaboration with the Flamborough, Hamilton and Stoney Creek Chambers of Commerce and the City’s 13 Business Improvement Areas recently completed an extensive survey to assess the state of the local economy and the labour force during the COVID-19 pandemic. The intent was to glean real-time information that would assist the City and its partners in establishing levels of assistance for those Hamilton businesses working to navigate the pandemic. Over 1,500 businesses from all 15 Wards across the City responded to the survey which represents almost a 50 percent increase over the first Business Impact Survey which took place in April 2020. Results from the 2021 survey are currently being summarized and will be shared with City Council and the business community in the coming weeks. Economic Development Action Plan Update Over the course of the next couple of months, Economic Development and Tourism and Culture staff will be putting the final touches to the 2021 – 2025 Economic Development Action Plan. This document will serve as the City of Hamilton’s blueprint for both the recovery and growth of the economy over the next five years. Crafted over the past year, the plan is a product of extensive consultation with representatives from a wide spectrum of civic groups and interests- from public sector, to business community, to non-profit and those focused on equity, diversity and inclusion. The plan will be presented to the City’s General Issues Committee before the end of the second quarter of 2021. Once approved by Council, the document will be made fully available to the public on the investinhamilton.ca website. Further information will be shared in the Q2 edition of the Economic Development newsletter. Hamilton COVID Concierge for Business COVID-19 has affected not only Hamilton’s public health, but its economic health as well. That is why the City of Hamilton and the Flamborough, Hamilton and Stoney Creek Chambers of Commerce created a website and phone line that will help Hamilton businesses navigate the pandemic from a business standpoint and ensure the business community has the real-time answers to keep moving forward. The site covers items from government assistance programs to operational issues, licensing and by-law issues and public health issues. The phone line is staffed Monday-Friday from 8:30am-4:30pm. As Hamilton moves forward through the pandemic and the government requirements of businesses remain fluid, this site will be important to understand the latest information and how to get in touch with the right resources in a timely fashion. Visit the site by clicking here or call 905-521-3989 Innovation Factory receives $6M in Funding On March 30th, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages and Minister responsible for FedDev Ontario, announced a FedDev Ontario investment of $6 million for Hamilton’s Innovation Factory, which will work alongside the Synapse Life Science Consortium to launch the Southern Ontario Pharmaceutical and Health Innovation Ecosystem (SOPHIE). SOPHIE will bring together Synapse’s network of experts in the life sciences field with Innovation Factory’s experience helping businesses accelerate the commercialization of their products. Through an annual cohort, businesses will receive the advisory services, testing capabilities and financial support needed from experts in the healthcare field to develop and commercialize their specialized health innovations and scale up their companies. Support though SOPHIE will create 50 jobs, maintain an additional 100 jobs and encourage 100 firms to either establish themselves or grow in southern Ontario. This investment will also leverage over $7.5 million in other investments. This full-service innovation hub in Hamilton will boost Ontario’s position as a place to develop, test and commercialize innovative healthcare solutions while providing a single-window contact to facilities and expertise for Ontario’s next generation of innovative life science companies—creating a robust pipeline of made-in-Canada healthcare solutions. Synapse Winners Announced On March 24, Hamilton’s thriving life science ecosystem gathered virtually for Innovation Factory’s eighth annual Synapse Competition, Ontario’s premier life science pitch competition. This year’s top three finalists, ToeFX, Synmedix and PharmAssess Diagnostics each delivered their pitch to the judging panel, competing for their share of $80,000 in cash and in-kind prizes, while the remaining finalists competed in a “Quick Pitch” – a pre-recorded, short pitch presentation.

Hamilton Economic Development Remembers Neil Everson Hamilton’s Economic Development Office sadly lost a true leader and good friend last week- former Director Neil Everson. Over the course of his career he lived a life of great influence and activity in building Hamilton’s economy to one of the top ranked economies in Canada. After over 25 years of service with the City of Hamilton, Ontario, Neil was directly responsible for leading the first Tax Incremental Financing program for any city in Ontario, spearheaded the first Small Business Enterprise Centre in the city and was the director when international brands like Canada Bread, Maple Leaf Foods, Tim Hortons and Stackpole made the decision to “invest in Hamilton”. Going beyond this economic growth and diversification, Mr. Everson led the city effort to achieve the internationally recognized Accredited Economic Development Organization designation in 2012. Hamilton became the second organization in Canada and the first city government in Canada to be accredited. Along with serving as an International Economic Development Council (IEDC) board member and participating as the first Canadian economic development “Expert Panel” member for IEDC’s Technical Assistance Program, Mr. Everson also participated in many international projects. This includes his work on a Canadian International Development Agency sustainable development project in Dalian (do you mean Dalian), China. He was also given a secondment by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to conduct a review of the economic development operations of the City of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. Additionally, Mr. Everson provided best practices and advice to help IEDC succeed in expanding work into Canada. In 2016, City of Hamilton Council bestowed the commemorative designation “Neil Everson Way” on Cormorant Road in the Ancaster Industrial Business Park to recognize his outstanding contributions to the City of Hamilton’s economy. We in the Hamilton Economic Development Office have lost a great leader, colleague and friend and our sincere condolences go out to his family in this time of loss. For more information on Neil’s accomplishments and his life, please read his obituary HERE.

In a significant development that’s stirring up the European tech market landscape, the European Union’s watchful eye is now fixed on Amazon’s ambitious move to acquire iRobot, the renowned robot vacuum maker. This scrutiny from EU regulators is not just a routine check but a deep dive into the realms of market fairness and competition. The EU’s latest action doesn’t outright block Amazon’s aspirations but sends a clear signal of concern. By issuing a formal statement of objections, the EU is essentially putting Amazon on notice. This move could push the tech giant to offer concessions to appease the regulators and dodge a potential block on the acquisition. Rewinding a bit, Amazon had put forth an all-cash offer of $1.7 billion for iRobot in August 2022. However, facing regulatory hurdles and increased debt by iRobot, Amazon had to adjust its sails and reduced the offer by 15%. This recalibration in the deal’s value underscores the complexities involved in such large-scale mergers and acquisitions. The EU’s probe into the Amazon-iRobot deal has been thorough and meticulous, starting as early as July. The core of the EU’s apprehension is how this acquisition might reshape the competitive landscape. The concern is that Amazon could potentially use its online marketplace muscle to squeeze out iRobot’s competitors. This could manifest in various forms – from making rival products less visible on Amazon’s platform to limiting their access to key marketing features, or even increasing the costs for these rivals to operate on the marketplace. Particularly in countries like France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, Amazon’s platform is more than just a sales channel – it’s a critical pathway for product discovery and purchasing decisions. If Amazon tilts the playing field in iRobot’s favor post-acquisition, it could lead to a scenario where competition is stifled, possibly resulting in higher prices, reduced quality, and less innovation in the robot vacuum cleaner (RVC) market. The EU’s investigation has been comprehensive, involving a deep analysis of internal documents from both Amazon and iRobot, and gathering insights from various market participants. This extensive process reflects the EU’s commitment to ensuring a fair and competitive market. In response, Amazon has maintained its stance, emphasizing the intense competition iRobot faces in the vacuum cleaner market and expressing their intention to work closely with the European Commission to address any concerns. This situation unfolds against the backdrop of Amazon’s recent settlements with the EU over other competition concerns. These included issues related to the use of merchant data and the operation of its “Buy Box” and Prime loyalty program. In those instances, Amazon made several commitments to align its operations with fair market practices. Given these past settlements, the ongoing scrutiny over the iRobot deal suggests that the EU is still wary of Amazon’s potential to influence market dynamics. This is particularly significant in the context of the Digital Markets Act, where Amazon is designated as a gatekeeper, subjecting it to stringent rules against self-preferencing and ensuring fair competition. As the saga unfolds, it’s a reminder of the delicate balance that needs to be maintained in today’s digital marketplace. The EU’s vigilance serves as a check against the consolidation of power by tech giants, ensuring that the market remains a level playing field for all players. For consumers and competitors alike, the outcome of this investigation will be a benchmark for the future of fair competition in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

We spotlight some new work produced by members of the IPA Workshop Alumni, each exploring their new journey in photography. River Moon is a series by Vietnamese photographer Dương Hài Cốt, an Alumni of the IPA Workshop in Hanoi. River Moon, by Dương Hài Cốt I know Thanh – Thuy through a friend who is an architect with the same passion for photography as me. It was about a year ago when I joined the IPA Street Photography Workshop in Hanoi. I was very curious about the pair who have lived with each other for 40 years, but are unmarried and without children. They live on a raft floating in the middle of the Red River beach under the Long Bien Bridge. He was previously a famous gangster in the city of Hanoi. When he met her on the day 09/26/1969 he gave up his gypsy lifestyle and returned to a normal life.

Are you confused about the difference between a multi core cpu and a multi threaded program? Be confused no more! This blog post aims to explain the difference between CPU cores and threads, and how understanding them can help you make informed decisions for your technology needs. TL;DR: What is the difference between CPU cores and threads? Each program running on a computer has one or more threads, which are sequences of instructions, and each CPU core is a physical processing unit that can process instructions from one or two threads at a time. To better grasp the concept of CPU cores and threads, imagine a restaurant kitchen. The chefs (CPU cores) are responsible for preparing the dishes based on orders (Threads) they receive from waiters. The more chefs you have, the more orders you can prepare at a given time. Meanwhile, many chefs are not necessary when there is not a large number of orders to process. Similarly, having more CPU cores can increase the speed of processing when multiple simultaneous threads are competing for attention. The Role of CPUs CPUs, or Central Processing Units, are the brains of computers, responsible for processing instructions and managing system components. Different types of CPUs, such as single-core, dual-core, and multi-core, offer varying performance levels and are suited for specific tasks. For example, a CPU optimized for running desktop applications and workflows might be different from one suited for a server that processes many requests from users all around the world simultaneously. Single-core vs Multi-core CPUs Single-core CPUs are more affordable and power-efficient, making them ideal for less demanding tasks and applications. On the other hand, multi-core CPUs offer better performance for multitasking and demanding applications, as they can handle more tasks simultaneously. For instance, a single-core CPU might be adequate for basic word processing tasks, while a multi-core CPU would be more suitable for running multiple applications, rendering graphics, or processing large amounts of data. CPU Cores Explained A CPU core is a physical processing unit that can execute instructions independently. The more cores a CPU has, the better it can multitask and handle demanding applications. Single-core CPUs have one physical processing unit, capable of executing one instruction at a time. While these CPUs are more affordable and power-efficient, their performance is limited, making them suitable for less demanding tasks and applications. Multi-core CPUs have multiple physical processing units, allowing them to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. These CPUs offer better performance for multitasking and demanding applications, making them the preferred choice for many users and businesses. CPU Threads and Threading Techniques Threads are sequences of instructions given to the CPU, and threading techniques like multithreading and hyperthreading can improve performance. In operating system terms, threads are the smallest unit of execution within a process, allowing multiple tasks to be performed concurrently by the CPU. Each program on your computer is made up of one or more threads. The more programs running on your computer, the more threads you will have active. A CPU can process at least one thread at a time for each CPU core that it has. So, the more threads that are waiting their turn to be processed, the more you can speed up your computer by having additional CPU cores. Multithreading allows for parallel execution of tasks, meaning that multiple tasks can be processed simultaneously. This can significantly improve the performance of applications and workflows, as the CPU can allocate resources more efficiently. For example, imagine you’re using a web browser with multiple tabs open. Each tab represents a separate task or thread. With multithreading, your CPU can process these tasks simultaneously, ensuring smooth and responsive performance. Hyperthreading is a technology developed by Intel that splits a single core into two virtual cores, known as threads. This allows the CPU to process two tasks simultaneously, leading to increased efficiency and performance. In essence, hyperthreading allows a single-core CPU to behave like a dual-core CPU, and a dual-core CPU to behave like a quad-core CPU, and so on. This can be particularly beneficial in situations where an application can take advantage of multiple threads, such as video editing or 3D rendering. Hyperthreading works by enabling more of the functional elements of the CPU to be used simultaneously. For example, a CPU core might have circuits dedicated to addition and separate circuits dedicated to multiplication. A single thread is unlikely to be using both of these processing elements at the same time, so hyperthreading allows a second thread to make better utilization of the CPU’s resources. Making Informed Decisions Understanding the difference between CPU cores and threads can help you make informed decisions about technology investments, leading to better performance and return on investment. When selecting a CPU, consider your specific needs and requirements. Why is this topic important? Investing in the right CPU for your specific needs can significantly impact the performance of your applications and workflows, ultimately affecting your business’s success. By understanding the roles and capabilities of CPU cores and threads, you can optimize performance and maximize your return on investment. Modern computers all have multiple cores and therefore can process multiple threads simultaneously. The main difference is how many cores they have and how many threads they can process at a single time. Over the last two decades, this change has led to high-performance applications such as games needing to design their programs to be split into multiple threads so that more work can be processed at a given time. Evaluating and comparing CPUs When comparing different CPUs, consider the following factors: - Number of cores: More cores generally mean better multitasking and improved performance for demanding applications. - Number of threads: More threads can lead to increased efficiency, especially when using applications that can take advantage of multiple threads. - Clock speed: Higher clock speeds usually result in faster performance, but also consider the impact on power consumption and heat generation. - Cache size: Larger cache sizes can improve the CPU’s performance by reducing the time it takes to access frequently-used data. - Compatibility: Ensure the CPU is compatible with your existing hardware, such as the motherboard and memory. If you’re unsure which CPU is best for your needs, consider consulting with a trusted partner like Liquid Web. They can help you determine the best CPU choices for your specific requirements, ensuring that you make the most out of your technology investments.

Sir Gustav Nossal marked World Pneumonia Day by reporting on the roll-out of pneumococcal vaccine to 16 developing countries, which had been developed using an alternative to the traditional marketing approach. The surprising thing here is that patients in developing countries are getting access to the vaccine at pretty much the same time as those in the developed world. According to Sir Gustav, this has been achieved by a group of donors, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, or the GAVI Alliance, creating an Advance Marketing Commitment. According to Sir Gustav: The Pneumococcal AMC was a pilot program, in which donors committed funds to guarantee the price of vaccines once they were developed. These financial commitments provided vaccine manufacturers with the incentive they needed to invest in research and development and to expand manufacturing capacity. In exchange, companies signed a legally binding commitment to provide the vaccines at a price affordable to developing countries. By concluding supply agreements at a ceiling price, the AMC reduced market uncertainty, allowing manufacturers to supply vaccines at lower prices. ….

The IQA is excited to announce the city finalists for the 2014-2015 event season, including Austin, Texas, North Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Rock Hill, S.C. for the 2015 World Cup. The IQA is excited to announce the city finalists for the 2014-2015 event season, which include the cities of Austin, Texas, North Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Rock Hill, S.C. for the 2015 World Cup championship event. The IQA will visit these sites, as well as the city finalists for regional championships and QuidCon, over the next month to review the facilities and event details with the potential hosts. Event hosts will be announced mid-May. This year the IQA received 29 bids for 8 events, including World Cup, QuidCon, and the six United States regional championships: a number that almost doubles last year’s 16 total bids. The IQA evaluated host offers based on the location of the bid, the amount of financial support (both cash and in-kind), the quality of facilities, and the level of community support. Each of the bid packages of the event finalists listed below surpassed IQA bid requirements and expectations in at least one of these categories. Further explanation of the bid process can be found on the IQA event bidding page. The IQA has not yet received bids for Global Games 2016, the IQA Open, or for the Canadian, European, or Oceania regional championships. IQA staff will continue working with teams and interested cities in these regions to secure quality bids in a timely manner, and the IQA will solicit bids for Global Games 2016 again during its bid process this fall. In addition to the number of bids received, the IQA was excited to generate interest among potential future host cities, including the City of San Diego, which did not submit a bid this year. Teams are reminded that the Stay & Play policy will apply to all teams competing in all North American regional championships and the World Cup. The policy has been slightly modified for the upcoming season in order to clarify team location and address information as it applies to the policy. The following are the hosts that have been selected as finalists for each event. (Please note that all proposed facilities are tentative.) World Cup 2015 Northeast Metropolitan Park North Myrtle Beach, S.C. North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex Rock Hill, S.C. Palm Coast, Fla. Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship Henrico County, Va.

Have you ever thought about your proposal’s shortcomings or winning points? What if you can receive it directly from the horse’s mouth? After every proposal submission, whether a win or a loss, it can be beneficial to collect feedback from the evaluators of your proposal. It can help improve the win rate for subsequent proposals by incorporating lessons learned. This is achieved through “debriefings.” A debriefing (or a debrief) is a meeting between the government agency or buyer and the contractor who submitted bids for a proposal. The goal is to provide contractors with comments on their strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement in their future proposals. This blog describes various aspects of proposal debriefings, including their importance, components, benefits, and expectations. Why are Debriefings Important? Proposal debriefings provide an opportunity for you as a responder to receive feedback on your proposal submissions and ask questions about the process followed. It enables you to understand the customer’s requirements better and figure out how you can strengthen your offering for future proposals. Notes taken during debriefings comprise a key element of an unsuccessful offeror’s knowledge library. The government contracting officer and other evaluators discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your proposal during the debrief. It allows you to gain an understanding of the competitiveness of their offer. In this way, debriefings provide an opportunity for the Government to implement transparency in the procurement process and help pave the way for better submissions in the future. They provide clarity from the Government’s perspective on what worked well in the procurement process and what could be improved for future opportunities. In case of an unfair evaluation, attending a debriefing helps you capture important information that can help you in any subsequent bid protests. They can also act as critical inputs for your legal team. When and How Should you Request a Debrief? FAR 15.506 requires the Government to provide feedback to the responders on their proposal officially. You are entitled to a post-award debrief from the Government after you submit a written request within three days of being notified whether they won or lost. You can send the requests via email to the person identified as the point of contact in the letter from the unsuccessful offeror, with a copy forwarded to the procurement specialist. The following details must be included in the debriefing request from the offeror: - Solicitation number and title - The offeror’s official legal name - The attendees of the debriefing and their titles What Happens in a Debriefing? Generally, in a debriefing, the evaluating team outlines what was lacking, so the offerors can do a better job when they submit their next bid/bids for the same customer or someone else. Whatever you learn in the debriefing can help you enhance your process, increasing your chances for a win the next time. Debriefings are a perfect opportunity to assess whether or not you should consider adjusting and/or improving your internal proposal development process. Debriefing allows you to ask questions to the customer after you have submitted a bid, including but not limited to the following: - What were your major strengths and deficiencies? - What was your score relative to other bidders or the successful contractor? - How many bids were received, and who was the winner? - Was the choice of the winner influenced by cost or technical evaluation capabilities? - Were you competitively priced? - What were your features and benefits, or where did you score the highest? What to Expect After Debriefing? After a debriefing, you can expect to see where you ranked well or fell short against the evaluation criteria mentioned in the RFP, including but not limited to the following areas: - Price rating - Technical rating - Past performance - Reasonable responses to questions per client expectations and RFP requirement Proposal debriefing allows the contractor to ask about the evaluation process and analyze and modify their proposal response. Preparing questions to ask and optimizing the proposal process can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Our team at iQuasar is skilled at assisting you in developing a required set of questions and capturing the feedback shared during the debriefing in the form of debriefing notes and lessons learned. Our team will assist you in improving and fine-tuning your proposals to position you better for future wins.

My name is Yagel Bar-Kama, I live in Tel Aviv and I like to walk in Park Hayarkon in the mornings. I work as a dog walker in the city and I am often in the park in the mornings walking the dogs I care for. I was walking my first dog back to its house near Pinkas Street by Namir Boulevard when I received a call that there was a car accident right near my location. I ran over and saw that thankfully, there was no one injured. I hopped on to my ambucycle and went back to the park and I ordered a coffee at a pop-up shop. Just as I was ordering the coffee, I got a call that there was a person with low blood pressure also on Namir Boulevard. I left my coffee and turned around to head back to where I just was. I found an older man in his home suffering from extremely low blood pressure. I prepared an IV for the man and when the ambulance came, I assisted them in transporting the man to the ambulance so that he could be taken to the hospital for further treatment. Just as I was getting back onto my ambucycle, I received another call on my bluebird from the dispatch that there was a traffic accident between two bicycles. When I arrived, thankfully no one needed medical care. At this point, I realized that I wasn’t going to get back to the park to drink my coffee. Instead, I called a friend of mine to come and have a cup of coffee with me near my house. We sat down to drink the coffee and just as I was taking my first sip, I got another call about an unconscious person in a nursing home right nearby. When I arrived I found an older woman who was conscious but suffering from low oxygen levels and shortness of breath. I treated her and assisted the ambulance team to take her downstairs to the ambulance when it arrived. We are trained for these things and we get used to living an interrupted life. This is part of what it means to be a volunteer first responder. When something happens, I drop everything and go. Even when you are trying to drink coffee with friends or in the middle of work, if there is an emergency call nearby I rush out. This is why United Hatzalah was created, how it functions, and why it is so successful at reaching the location of an emergency in less than three minutes. The coffee can wait and the friends can wait. An injured or unconscious person can’t wait. I really enjoy volunteering with United Hatzalah and I am proud to be a member of the ambucycle unit. Ever since I’ve received my ambucycle, I can now go to places that I couldn’t get to by car and I can arrive much faster. It is a tool that really helps me provide medical care to the patients faster than I could before.

Christmas Day ushers in the twelve days of celebration, ending on January 6th with the Feast of the Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day. It commemorates the visit of the Magi to the Infant Jesus. The Three Kings or Three Wise Men, are mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew. They are described as distinguished gentlemen who visited Jesus after his birth, bringing Our Savior the well-known gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They were of noble birth, educated, wealthy and influential. They have been described as philosophers, counselors of rulers and learned in the wisdom of the ancient East. The Church celebrates the solemnity of the Epiphany as a religious feast that brings a perfect fulfillment to the birth of Christ. In Italy, it is customary to replace the images of the shepherds at the crib with the Three Kings and their gifts. Throughout the country there are celebrations, not only of La Befana, but of the Procession of the Magi. In Rome there is a historical parade with over 100 participants dressed in ancient costumes and 20 decorated horses accompanied by a musical band that passes through Via della Conciliazione, following the Three Kings. Florence hosts the Calvacata dei Magi. This procession usually starts at the Pitti Palace in the early afternoon and crosses the river to the Duomo. Horns and drums fill the street. The Three Magi march in line, followed by the Holy Family and flag throwers perform in Piazza della Signoria. Further north in the region of Lombardy, Milan holds an Epiphany parade of the Three Kings from the Duomo to the Church of Sant’Eustorgio. While to the south in Abruzzo, Rivisondoli celebrates the Epiphany with a re-enactment of the arrival of the Three Kings. Hundreds of participants wear costumes and parade to recreate the historic day. In the far south, the Epiphany is celebrated with presepi viventi (live Nativity scenes) in many places throughout Sicily. You will find towns such as Custonaci, near Trapani and Balata di Baida, near Castellammare del Golfo, hosting processions of the Three Kings, as well as celebrations in Ispica, Noto, Caltagirone and Piana degli Albanesi, to name just a few.

A wake-up call: how extreme weather events have prompted reforms in Thailand It has been seven years since Thailand was ravaged by severe flooding, significantly weakening both the economic and social environments of the country. Attributed to both natural and man-made factors, flooding in Thailand is common during the monsoon seasons. However, what was witnessed in 2011 was the worst flooding in half a century. According to the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), floodwaters inundated 90 billion square kilometers of land, more than two-thirds of the country, ranking the natural disaster as the world’s fourth costliest disaster as of 2011. In 2016, Thailand experienced its worst drought in over a decade, with water levels in the country’s largest dam lower that ten percent of its potential capacity. The agricultural sector which contributes a significant share of the country’s GDP, and so the largest water consuming sector in Thailand, was highly vulnerable to the reduction in water availability, experiencing a drop in crop production and consequent decline in GDP. It is no surprise that the 2011 flood and 2016 drought have influenced management and planning practices in Thailand. The lessons learned in 2011 for example, raised a need to make institutional changes, including more defined roles of the more than 30 Dr. Piyamarn Sisomphon, the Head of Hydro Modelling at the Hydro and Agro Informatics Institute (HAII) in Bangkok, explained that with these new changes “if [a flood] happened again, it is clear who is doing what, where to get data and information from, what kind of data is needed [and] how to deal with the situation”. The flood and drought experiences in Thailand prompted capacity building efforts. It was also an opportunity to introduce new systems and projects to improve the resilience and preparedness of Thailand. Beyond the institutional capacity building, communities who experienced the floods head on were encouraged to learn how to prepare for possible future disasters. Dr. Sisomphon explained that there is still a lot of work to be done, as the “capacity of each organisation is different, including capacity of the local staff [in] local area[s]”. The Flood and Drought Management Tools (FDMT) project, a Global Environment Facility (GEF) International Waters (IW) funded project, implemented by the UN Environment, with the International Water Association (IWA) and DHI as the executing agencies, has developed the Flood and Drought Portal providing a methodology with tools which can be applied individually or together at the basin or local level to facilitate the inclusion of information about floods, droughts and future scenarios into planning such as Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The following video explains the project approach to addressing the impacts of flood and drought management. For HAII, the project has been a welcomed intervention as it has provided a motivation to change the modus operandi by integrating the use of more satellite data into their efforts. The Flood and Drought Portal has been helpful in improving the capacity around the use of satellite data and applying it to the local context, says Dr. Sisomphon. For example, the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation uses the information and tools for monitoring the drought situation and planning for their operations, whilst the Department of Agriculture Extension uses the tools for monitoring drought situations and planning for crop agriculture. These practices and uses of satellite data and information was previously never used by these departments. Furthermore, there has been a significant improvement around how data is shared among various organisations addressing flood and drought impacts. There is no doubt that there is a need for enduring and resilient water management approaches in which safety, nature, and economic prosperity are taken into account. In Thailand, in situ data and information, complimented by satellite information, will help navigate the planning for and monitoring of extreme events now and in the future. Dr. Sisomphon foresees the use of the Flood and Drought Portal across organisations, where institutes such as the Royal Irrigation Department will see the benefits for monitoring and planning the irrigation area in Thailand and water in reservoirs across the country. Other organisations such as the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the Department of Agriculture Extension can complement their current management and monitoring approaches by using the data and information provided by the portal. GISTDA, who are experts when it comes to satellites, accessing freely available rainfall, temperature and humidity data; can contribute further to the many services they already provide. Whether it was seven years since the devastating floods or two years since the severe droughts, these events will remain a good reminder of the consequences of extreme weather and the reality of climate change. Thailand is likely to be burdened with more extreme weather and climate events in the future. Thus while progress is being made, many opportunities for further progress still remain as there is always much to learn and many areas on which to improve. About the Flood and Drought Management Tools project The Flood and Drought Management Tools (FDMT) project, a Global Environment Facility (GEF) International Waters (IW) funded project, implemented by the UN Environment, with the International Water Association (IWA) and DHI as the executing agencies. The project is developing online technical applications to support planning from the transboundary basin to water utility level by including better information on floods and droughts. The project is being implemented from 2014 – 2018, with 3 pilot basins (Volta, Lake Victoria and Chao Phraya) participating in development and testing of the methodology and technical applications.

عنوان مقاله [English] نویسندگان [English]چکیده [English] On the one hand, the limited energy resources and on the other hand increasing energy demand are the factors that enhance the importance of energy management in micro and macro programs, in developed and developing countries. The head loss in different parts of pipelines causes an increase in the amount of energy consumed by the pumps. Therefore, reducing it is critical. One of the most important and easiest ways to reduce energy consumption during fluid supply is using friction-reducing materials in the flow. In this study, a setup was conducted to find out the effect of adding a small dose of three different polymers (Karaakryl30, Karaakryl58 and Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) on changing friction losses and its effect on the spray radius of sprinklers in a pressurized irrigation system; in which three Hunter type sprinklers were used. To investigate the effects of these three polymers, the irrigation system consisted of a galvanized tank, a valve to control the flow rate at the beginning of the pipeline, polyethylene pipes with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 40 meters, three Hunter sprinklers. And two amount of pressure were used. In the first stage, pure water was used to measure the flow rate and the head loss. In the first stage, the experiments were related to the control treatments in which pure water was used to measure the flow rate and energy loss. First, the tank was filled with water. Then, the initial and final sprinklers' output were closed. The sprinkler's nozzle at the end of the path was opened to measure the discharges. And then the control valve fully opened. By switching the pump, water from the sprinkler's output flowed out. After this stage, the discharge valve fully opened and the head loss was measured. Then, by adjusting the control valve (reducing the flow), the amount of flow and pressure were measured again. Adjusting the control valve was performed in 5 different conditions with pure water. The polymer Karaakryl30 was tested with the concentration of 100 mg per liter which was once dissolved in water and then stirred after half an hour again. After that, the pump started immediately. In the same way of the pure water measuring, the pressure and flow rate were measured. Then the Pump was turned off and all three sprinklers were installed, adjusted and fasten to fulcrums in the given situations. After pump working, the radius of spraying was measured. In the next stage, without any changes to the system compared to its previous state, the tank was filled with water again and the pump was turned on. After pumping all the water in the tank, the spraying radius was measured and compared with a spraying radius of Karaakryl30 solution (100 mg per liter). All the above steps for each of the three materials were tested at three concentrations. By fitting a curve for discharge and head loss data, the relationship between them was obtained, for pure water and the three polymers in three concentrations. Using these relationships, the head loss values were obtained in the same discharges. Considering that friction-reducing material reduces head loss in the pipeline, it increases the pressure in sprinkler nozzles and as a result increases the spraying radius. In this aspect, the effect of adding the polymers on spraying radius was studied, in three concentrations. The results showed that Karaakryl30 and Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose had the better effect on reducing the head loss and increasing the spraying radius, comparing to the Karaakryl58. The amount of head loss in the discharge of 0.423 lit/s for pure water, Karaakryl30, Karaakryl58 with the concentration of 1000 ppm and Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with the concentration of 150 ppm was 20.04, 12.8, 16.09 and 12.39 meter, respectively, at the pipe length of 40m and diameter of 20mm. Karaakryl30 with 1000 ppm concentration led to maximum reduction of friction (36.1%) in pipelines and maximum increase in sprinkler spray radius (11.6%), comparing to pure water. Using polymer Karaakryl58 at the same level of concentration increased the same parameters 19.6 and 5.9 percent, respectively. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (150 ppm) increased the same measured parameters to 38.1 and 15.6 percent, respectively. Thus, Karaakryl30 and Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose could be recommended to use in sprinkler systems in short-time and emergency situations such as high evapotranspiration for which it is not economical to consider the pipes with larger diameters in design.
