Bayside high school and college students head south to share faith, perform good works | The Sacramento Bee
The Rev. Jordanna Sadri, Bayside’s Global Outreach pastor, said Bayside works with 36 Mexican churches in Mexicali. Bayside members will be constructing 11 houses and organizing play, sports and music programs for children and teens.
“We always have a construction element,” Sadri said. “So, there will be 11 teams building homes for widows and families in extreme need. We are pretty excited about the families that will be getting new homes this year.”
Bayside will have a base camp with showers, tents and port-a-potties. They come from five Bayside campuses: Granite Bay, midtown, Blue Oaks in Roseville, Folsom and Adventure at Stanford Ranch.
The tent camp, set up to serve the surrounding farming community, includes Bayside first aid and security teams.
“The experience for the high school students is profound,” Sadri said. “It makes an impression when they see that the homes we are building for a family of six is 18 feet-by-18 feet. Some our students have rooms that size. They get a perspective they can’t get going to Disneyland or on a spring break trip to a Santa Cruz surf camp.”
Sadri said the Bayside students, who come from various economic backgrounds, return with an appreciation for what they have at home. Without cell phone service, the young people focus on the experience.
“They see that people who have far less than they have can live with joy,” Sadri said. “The students from here are unplugged. They are not thinking about how many people have liked their Instagram photo. They are doing things such as giving piggy-back rides, making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and doing arts and crafts.”

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro called on the North East Independent School District to change the name of Robert E. Lee High School.
The former San Antonio mayor stated the district should form a committee to identify individuals that are "more appropriate" to honor in a post published to his personal Facebook page on Tuesday.
Castro made the request on the heels of a report that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — and staunch conservative — said a statue Confederate President Jefferson Davis should be removed from the Kentucky state capitol.
Confederate symbols such as the Confederate flag have been the source or nationwide controversy in the week following the alleged murder of nine black church-goers in Charleston, South Carolina, by Dylan Roof. Pictures of the 21-year-old white supremacist draped in the Confederate flag have come to prominence in the days following the mass shooting. As a result, political leaders are calling for the removal of Confederate symbols on public property, and businesses such as Walmart are pulling Stars and Bars merchandise from their shelves. (Locally owned Dixie Flag Company announced it will longer sell flag earlier this week.)
The Confederate backlash has extended beyond the flag in recent days. The University of Texas at Austin announced this week that a 12-member task force will be convened to consider the removal of a Jefferson Davis statue from the campus' South Lawn. The controversial statue was one of several at UT-Austin that were spray-painted by protesters with the phrase "Black Lives Matter" on Tuesday.
"Regardless of whether General Lee was on the wrong side of the war, he as an individual was someone to be respected ... To tell you the truth, that's a great man in history."
Chancellor added that the district has thus far received no backlash regarding Lee High School, but indicated that community members can voice their concern by contacting the school's principal, Nicole Franco, or attending the district's next board meeting on July. The exact date of that meeting is currently unavailable on NEISD's website.
Some conservatives argue that Confederate symbols celebrate Southern heritage and are not symbols of bigotry and the United State's legacy of institutional slavery. Meanwhile, civil rights activists believe that while the removal of Confederate symbols on public property is important, it's distracting from a larger conversation about racism in America.
But as KENS5 reports, there is precedent for changing the name of a school that honors a Confederate leader. In 1992, the San Antonio Independent School District changed the name of Jefferson Davis Middle School to Stonewall Jackson Davis Middle School. The junior high is located off East Houston Street on the city's predominately black East Side. The latter Davis was a prominent black leader in San Antonio.
Whether the community will heed Castro's call to change the name of Lee High School remains to be seen. But the backlash against Confederate symbols continues to grow rather than wane.

To obtain low friction engine through piston ring design, a set of two piston rings (two-ring set), one compression ring and one oil ring, has been recently developed. To reduce the number of compression rings from two to one, double angle step joint was employed for the shape of top ring gap, and taper face was introduced to O.D. surface shape.
Major subjects of two-ring set were to reduce the oil consumption, to increase the durability, and to get the reliability of double angle step joint. The authors obtained the two piston ring design and the reliability of double angle step joint by rig tests and engine tests.

Background: Full mobilization of the right liver is crucial for resection of tumors located in right posterior segments and segment VIII. Surgeons usually put their left hand into the space between right diaphragm and liver to tilt and rotate liver toward left for full exposure of right liver. Gauzes was also usually used to occupy the space to tilt right liver. During laparoscopic assisted hepatectomy, only a 8cm incision was made at subcostal area. It is difficult for surgeons to put their hand or gauzes into the space to tilt and rotate right liver.
Objective of the device:To create the space between right lobe liver and diaphragm, tilting liver toward left for full exposure of right liver during hepatectomy especially for tumors located in segment VI, VII and VIII
1. An empty soft IV bag connected to IV tube with IV catheter, the other end of tube connected to syringe with a 3-way connector.
2. The empty IV bag can be easily placed into the space between right diaphragm and liver even through a smaller incision.
3. Pumping up the IV bag with air by syringe, surgeons can easily create the spce between diaphragm and liver, to tilt and rotate the liver toward left and full expose right liver. By adjusting the volume of air inflated into IV bag, surgeons can easily adjust the location fo right liver
Conclusion: This space creator is cheap and easy to use, especially for laparoscopic assisted hepatectomy.
