Inflatable bag with inner and intermediate containers and gas generation substances within inner container
Abstract: An inflatable bag comprises a small sack which is charged with sodium bicarbonate and accommodating a small externally breakable container filled with an acidic solution. The small sack is enveloped in an inflatable bag member which is made of a synthetic resin having no permeability to the gas which is generated as a reaction between the sodium bicarbonate and the acidic solution. As the small container is collapsed by external pressure, the acidic solution flows out of the container into reaction with the sodium bicarbonate, thereby generating carbon dioxide gas. The small sack is punctured by the gas pressure with a sound of a bang or a whistle and, thereafter, the inflatable gas member is gradually inflated. It is possible to use a plurality of small sacks made of a material which exhibits small extension, such that one small sack is contained in another sack.

Pneumatic weapon with pressure reduction valves
Abstract: A pneumatic gun has a hollow cylindrical bolt which moves in a housing, being spring-biased to a cocked position. The bolt has a pressure inlet which is coupled to an outlet so that, when air under pressure is supplied to the inlet, the pressure and the drag of the air passing through the bolt urges it forward, carrying a projectile into the gun barrel. The air pressure is sustained until the projectile is propelled out of the barrel. A regulator valve reduces the pressure of gas from a holding tank in the weapon to the operating pressure of the control system. The required pressure for the firing valve may be derived from the control system, from a separate regulator, or from the holding tank. In one embodiment, a special firing valve controls the transmission of firing pressure to the bolt. A pneumatic firing control circuit is triggered by one, several, or a continuous series of electronic pulses to produce single, burst, or continuous fire.

'Wave' depicts a grey shaded area extending diagonally from the upper left to the lower right of the sheet. Along its bottom edge, drawn with scumbled charcoal lines, is a form that can be read as a recumbent figure with its head on the left-hand side. Above the central shaded area is a loosely drawn zig-zag line, delimited by a curved upper contour.
Dörflinger made 'Wave' in his studio on the island of Gozo, near Malta, in the summer of 1985 in response to Gozitan mountain, a hill that he can see from his studio window and which was the inspiration for many works of the 1980s. In conversation with the compiler on 14 May 1989, Dörfinger said T04902 belonged to a group of twenty-five pastels and drawings depicting a figure emerging from a mountain cleft that he can see from his studio (see entries on T04899-T04901). The composition of this group of drawings is based on a wing form, which is one of a small number of archetypal motifs, such as birds and trees, that recurred in Dörflinger's works of the mid-1980s. The title was given after the drawing was completed and was intended by the artist to refer to be allusive, not a literal description of the subject.

Week in review: Nov. 22, 2020
Written on Nov 20, 2020

The Ohio Court of Claims ordered the state health department to release hospital data about daily bed capacity, medical supplies, and staffing levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ruling rejected the Ohio Department of Health's position that the data are security records exempted from disclosure to the public under the state's public records law. Eye on Ohio, Ohio Center for Investigative Journalism, had requested the records in late March in the early days of the pandemic in the U.S.
Responding to Gov. Mike DeWine's comments on the possibility of a second closure order for restaurants and bars, the Ohio Restaurant Association said they have been in contact with him and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted on how that would "devastate the industry."
The Ohio Department of Health and Gov. Mike DeWine's office offered additional details Monday on the revised health order limiting gatherings in Ohio, following its initial announcement in DeWine's address to Ohioans Wednesday evening. Another ODH order regarding retail and business compliance with facial covering mandates that was announced Wednesday went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Monday.
Gov. Mike DeWine Tuesday announced a three-week curfew for all residents instead of the anticipated closing of certain businesses such as restaurants and gyms. The curfew, which will run from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., begins Thursday, Nov. 19 and will run for three weeks. At the end of that time, DeWine said he will see where the state stands in regard to the spread of COVID-19 to determine what else might be done.
Expressing concern over side effects of pandemic-related measures such as the stay-at-home order, Sens. Kristina Roegner (R-Hudson) and Robert McColley (R-Napoleon) offered sponsor testimony to the House State and Local Government Committee on SB311, which would modify the law on public health orders, quarantine and isolation. The committee also received testimony from dozens of public witnesses in support of HB618 (Becker), the "Need Ohio Working Act" which would limit the governor's and ODH's authority to issue orders regarding contagious or infectious diseases and prohibit any order from affecting the conduct of an election.
Public health agencies from three of the largest metropolitan areas in Ohio issued stay-at-home advisories on Wednesday as the state continues to grapple with rapid increases in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and positivity rates. Franklin County Public Health and Columbus Public Health were the first to announce the move, joined by health authorities for Cuyahoga County, Montgomery County and the city of Dayton.
Former Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton issued a video message Friday, Nov. 13, in which she encouraged Ohioans to spread kindness and simultaneously warned that she believes the nation is reaching a "critical inflection point" in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. "I know many of you are feeling the strain of this deeply challenging time, and I want you to know I feel it too," Acton told followers on Twitter, speaking from her position as director of Kind Columbus, which is a division of the Columbus Foundation nonprofit.
Ohio hospitals are dangerously close to being forced to ration health care like Italy did at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, health officials said Thursday. "We are on the doorstep of that," Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Medical Director Bruce Vanderhoff said during Gov. Mike DeWine's coronavirus briefing, responding to a reporter's question.
The House mainly along party lines Thursday voted to send legislation that would allow the General Assembly to overturn orders issued by the director of the Ohio Department of Health and to put other limits on the orders, setting up a showdown with Gov. Mike DeWine, who is strongly opposed to the bill. He said again Thursday that he will veto it. Thursday's debate saw Republicans arguing that SB311 (Roegner-McColley) provides proper checks and balances on the executive branch, while Democrats called it irresponsible legislation that will hamper the state's ability to respond quickly to an out-of-control pandemic.
Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday that Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Director Stephanie McCloud had signed the health order he announced Tuesday encouraging people to stay at home during specified hours unless they are working or engaged in an essential activity. "As COVID-19 continues to spread in Ohio, we need a stronger response to minimize the impact on Ohio's health care and hospital capacity and ensure health care is available to those that need it," said DeWine in a prepared statement. "With this order we are discouraging get-togethers and gatherings to minimize the spread of the virus while minimizing the economic impact of a complete shutdown.
Sen. Stephanie Kunze (R-Hilliard) increased her lead of a few dozen votes to 116 when Franklin County elections officials certified the results of her race against Democratic challenger Crystal Lett, although the result is within the margin requiring an automatic recount.
EMPLOYMENT/UNEMPLOYMENT
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) reported Friday that initial unemployment claims again rose during the week ending Nov. 7, totaling 21,868. The prior week had 21,263 claims reported to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The total number of initial jobless claims filed in Ohio over the last 34 weeks (1,850,676) was more than the combined total of those filed during the last four years, according to a news release from ODJFS. The weekly data are usually released on Thursdays, but were delayed this week due to the Veterans Day holiday.
For the week ending Nov. 14, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) reported 24,964 initial unemployment claims to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). That number is more than 3,000 higher than last week, when the department reported 21,868 new jobless claims. This is the third straight week that the number of new jobless claims has increased.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY/STATEHOUSE
Wednesday's House session saw passage of HB621 (Cross-Wilkin), allowing businesses deemed "non-essential" and ordered shut under pandemic orders to stay open if they can meet the safety requirements of their "essential" counterparts; HB255 (Hoops), regarding review of property tax exemptions.
Wright State University (WSU) has begun the process of laying off some faculty, the school announced last week. WSU is in the early stages of the layoff process and sent a notice Thursday to the faculty union, AAUP-WSU, alerting them that the university expects the need for layoffs, which begins the process.
The new leader of Ohio's health insurer trade group is urging passage of surprise medical billing measure HB388 (Holmes) in the lame duck session and says it is emblematic of an approach insurers and providers can use to focus on their shared goals. Kelly O'Reilly took the helm of the Ohio Association of Health Plans (OAHP) as president and CEO in October, succeeding Miranda Motter, now a senior vice president at America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP).
Despite the efforts of Gov. Mike DeWine, the congressional delegation and General Assembly, the permanent headquarters of U.S. Space Command will be outside Ohio, according to a U.S. Air Force announcement late Thursday. The narrowed list announced Thursday evening has six potential locations -- one each in New Mexico, Nebraska, Florida, Colorado, Texas and Alabama. A final decision is expected in early 2021 based on factors related to mission, infrastructure capacity, community support and costs to the Department of Defense.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) Saturday announced a $25 million CARES Act aid program for nonprofit organizations that serve low-income and at-risk Ohioans to assist with their unemployment debt. The deadline to apply is Friday, Nov. 27. The Saturday announcement outlined the process for nonprofit organizations that serve low-income and at-risk Ohioans to follow to apply for federal CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act grants.
TRANSPORTATION/INFRASTRUCTURE
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) announced Friday that the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded a $12 million grant for emergency repairs to the Brent Spence Bridge connecting Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky following severe damage from a crash involving two semi-trucks last week. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear Monday said an exhaustive examination of the bridge by state inspectors found that while a fiery crash involving two semis last week did not cause damage to the structure of the bridge, it is not expected to open until around Christmas.

New York Giants bucking belief about rotating O-Line players
By TOM CANAVAN - Nov. 10, 2020 04:58 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (8) hands the ball off to running back Wayne Gallman (22) during the first half of an NFL football game against the Washington Football Team, Sunday, Nov. 8, 2020, in Landover, Md. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants are bucking long-held beliefs about how to get an offensive line to play better.
The norm was to take your best five offensive lineman and play them until they knew each other so well they become an effective unit in both the passing and running games.
The Giants (2-7) are going their own way under first-year coach Joe Judge and veteran offensive line coach Marc Colombo. They are playing everyone who is dressed for the game.
In last week's win over Washington, first-round pick Andrew Thomas started at left tackle and veteran Cam Fleming was on the right side. Nick Gates played center, rookie Shane Lemieux was at left guard and veteran Kevin Zeitler was on the right side.
By the end of the game, rookie tackle Matt Peart had filled in at both left and right tackle and even backup Chad Slade got time at guard, just in case one of the starters was hurt.
The rotation is going to increase in the final seven games as starting left guard Will Hernandez comes off the COVID-19 reserve list. It's quite possible Lemieux who has been outstanding in filling in for Hernandez the past two games, will see time at both guard positions, while Peart, a third-round pick, also continues to rotate at the tackles.
Gates, who made the move to center this year, seems to be the only lineman immune from the rotation system, at least for now.
Colombo said the rotation is not new for the players. The teams has used different linemen in different positions since opening training camp in August.
So when Peart takes over for Fleming at right tackle, he and Zeitler have run the same combination blocks thousands of times.
"It gives guys, you know, a chance to get a breather and get back in there," Colombo said Tuesday. "And you can see kind of the flow of the game, too. You can kind of use these guys in different roles. So it's starting to work really well for us. And we're kind of excited, you know, the way we've been playing lately. We just got to keep getting better."
New York rushed for a season-high 166 yards against Washington, and it wasn't quarterback Daniel Jones scrambling all over the place. That was the run offense earlier in the season after star running back Saquon Barkley was lost for the season with an ACL injury.
Jones had six carries for 4 yards in the Washington game. Wayne Gallman (68 yards) and Alfred Morris (67 yards) carried the load.
Zeitler, who is in his ninth season in the league, said continuity has long been the key phrase for offensive lines.
"We also have a unique situation," he said. "We have a lot of young O-linemen in the room, very talented O-linemen. I think given how the season has started, I think the ability to get them in there has been really good for us. Obviously, as you saw, Will unfortunately had to be gone for two games. Shane, even in practice to be able to rotate in and get reps, he was able to step in and go right away. It's not like we missed a beat. I think it's big because it allows us to prep and know if any injuries happened down the road, I think it's going to be good for us."
Colombo said the line has come a long way since the season opener when the Steelers held the Giants to 29 yards rushing on 20 carries. Barkley had 15 carries for 6 yards.
"Confidence is a big part of it," Colombo said. "You know, it's a confident group right now. You know, they can see themselves doing it right on film. We talked about consistency. That was that was kind of the biggest thing this whole entire season. We needed to be more consistent. You're starting to see it now from every player on the line, you know, so all five of them. And then, you know, add Matt to the equation. Right. These guys are consistent with their technique. They're consistent with their execution. And that's why you kind of see some of the stuff start to work. " ___

Obama had a good case for POW swap I've been waiting for someone in the White House to offer a cogent defense of President Obama's decision to swap five... Check out this story on chillicothegazette.com: http://ohne.ws/1hEbaGA
Gannett Published 8:41 a.m. ET June 10, 2014
I've been waiting for someone in the White House to offer a cogent defense of President Obama's decision to swap five Taliban fighters for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was held hostage in Afghanistan for five years.
So far, that hasn't happened. Instead, the arguments put forth by the Obama administration have been a disjointed response to a GOP-led attack on the president's action, rather than a strong and forceful defense of Obama's exercise of his duty as commander in chief to bring home an American prisoner of war.
One argument by the president's team was that Obama had to act quickly because Bergdahl was in bad health. Another was that the speed of the negotiations forced the president to make the trade without complying with a law that requires him to notify Congress 30 days in advance of removing a prisoner from the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, where the five Taliban were held. Neither explanation amounts to an affirmative defense of the president's action.
Obama would have been better served by an explanation from the press secretary (not the president) at a White House briefing on Bergdahl's release that went something like this:
"In a tradition that is as old as war itself," the press spokesman says, "the president has ordered a prisoner swap in the waning days of America's involvement in the Afghanistan conflict to ensure that we leave no one behind."
Next, the spokesman pre-emptively says: "The president took this action without giving Congress a 30-day notice because when a life hangs in the balance, war-time decisions often require swift action."
Then the press secretary seeks to defuse questions about Bergdahl's loyalty: "While this ought to be a time of national celebration, and not recrimination, the president is aware of the questions that have been raised about the events that led to Sgt. Bergdahl's capture.
"What we know for certain is that Sgt. Bergdahl was a prisoner of the Taliban, not a house guest. And what we learned from the American POWs who came home at the end of the Vietnam War is that some were forced to do things they later regretted in order to survive. In due time, the Army will gain a better understanding of the events surrounding Sgt. Bergdahl's capture and imprisonment. For now, the president is happy to report that he did what every parent of a servicemember and loved one expects of him: He brought home our POW."
Sure, even if Bergdahl's recovery had been handled in this way, congressional Republicans — and some Democrats — still would have pounced on Obama for not giving them a 30-day notice. But a more proactive defense of Obama's decision might have had his critics, rather than White House officials, scrambling to explain themselves.
Bringing American POWs home is one of the most important duties of a wartime president.

It's Valentine's Day week, and as I zip from store to store for all the essentials (conversation hearts, valentine cards, enough chocolate to rival a Halloween haul), I have to say I'm feeling a little anxious. Did I remember everything? Did I get enough? Do my kids love the confectionary treat I just purchased loads of, or is that the one they NO LONGER like?
The brief twinge of angst aside, I love Valentine's Day! What's not to love? Hearts and flowers and chocolates rolled into a 24-hour love fest of affection (or recriminations, if I really DID get the candy wrong!).
I love it… not so much because of the Hallmark-inspired rigor of card-candy-flowers, but because it really does remind us to "walk the talk", as we say here in Texas, and back our words with a little more flourish in our actions – gush a little more, hug a little longer, take an extra piece of dark chocolate.
I'd love to remind you to also do a little something for yourself on Valentine's Day… and every day. Love yourself and show it!
EAT when you're hungry, but eat deliciously and healthily so you FEEL BETTER, and your body and mind function more smoothly and in synch. It doesn't have to be all giraffe-food all the time (cake and chips DO have their place in the food pyramid), but lean more into the giraffe options and reconsider your carbs.
Get enough SLEEP – go to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual to allow yourself time to run through your mental checklist and solve all the world's problems, and still have enough time left over to get a decent night's rest!
TREAT yourself to some extra time– most of us don't require hearts and flowers and candy every day, but most of us also rarely indulge ourselves when there are others around to indulge first (husband, children, dog, rinse and repeat)! Indulge in the little daily things that give us a few moments back – reclaim that time and ENJOY it… whether it's a second cup of coffee, an extra 10 minutes of hot shower, a few pages of uninterrupted reading time (ha!), a bike ride (yes, we're still allowed, even when children aren't accompanying us), or letting someone else walk the dog or collect the drycleaning. It's your time, too. So enjoy it!
And we are always here to help you love and nurture your hair. Happy Valentine's Day from MopTop, where we "heart" your hair!

Site Search in Washington State
Posted October 26, 2019 in News	by Michael Mountain
(Second in a series of posts about our search for the best location for a seaside sanctuary for captive orcas or beluga whales. This post is about the San Juan Islands off the coast of Seattle.)
While the sites we explored in B.C. are remote from cities, those in the San Juan Islands are within easy reach of a major metropolitan area. That's a big plus in terms of having access to power, infrastructure, and all the facilities that staff members would need for their families who are living there year-round.
It also means, of course, that many of the sites we've looked at that would be ideal for a sanctuary are also close to people with homes and businesses nearby. And while they love the idea of a sanctuary, many people prefer not to give up any coastal access.
One location that doesn't have this challenge is Deepwater Bay on Cypress Island, which is sparsely populated and close to the mainland. Deepwater Bay is home to some Department of Natural Resources operations. It was formerly a salmon hatchery that failed two years ago, and the owners must give up possession by 2023, so we're working to see if we can acquire the bay sooner than that for an orca sanctuary.
The bay has good depth and excellent tidal and current flows, and can be segmented to accommodate the net enclosures. It is also close to the mainland and it continues to be one of our preferred sites.
Plight of the Southern Resident Orcas

Just as the region we explored in British Columbia is home to the Northern Resident orcas, the waters around the San Juan Islands are home to the Southern Residents.
For more than a decade, starting in 1965, some 270 orcas were captured in these waters. More than 50 of them were dispatched to entertainment parks around the world. Others either died or were later released. The Southern Residents have never recovered from this travesty, and their situation is only made worse by pollution, noise and lack of food.
In the summer of 2018, the world was transfixed by the scene of a mother orca carrying her dead infant in what could only be interpreted as a display of profound grief and loss. Tahlequah/J-35 had given birth to a daughter who had lived for only 30 minutes. With help from other members of her family, Tahlequah kept the dead baby afloat for 17 days as the pod continued to ply the waters of the Salish Sea, off the coast of Seattle, in their search of an ever-diminishing supply of food.
At the same time, another young member of the family, Scarlet/J-50, was ailing, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) asked the Whale Sanctuary Project, along with several local organizations, to join in an emergency effort in the Pacific Northwest to try to save her life.
"Our team has expertise to assess her health and to provide help to her at this critical time," our Executive Director Charles Vinick said. "It is something we must do and as much as we are committed to improving the welfare of captive whales, we must also do all we can to help free-ranging whales."
As it turned out, it was too late to save Scarlet's life. But it was also clear to us that if our sanctuary were to be in these waters, and with a full staff of veterinarians and caregivers at hand, it could play a key role in providing emergency short-term care to other free-ranging whales in need.
The Lummi Nation and Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut
To most of us, they're killer whales or orcas. But to the Lummi Nation of the Pacific Northwest, they are "qw'e lh'ol' me chen" – our relations who live under the water.
"Lolita" entertaining tourists at the Miami Seaquarium
One of those relations is the sole survivor of the infamous kidnappings of infant Southern Resident orcas. Now 53-years old, she still spends her days in a concrete tank at the Miami Seaquarium, where she is known as Lolita. To the Lummi, however, she is Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut, and they are determined to bring her home.
Last year, they carved a totem pole in her honor and brought it to Miami, where they held ceremonies to press for her return. The totem itself is a stunning artistic achievement: a 16-foot orca resting on two harbor seals and with their mythic "Whale Rider" on her back.
We are honored to be collaborating with the Sovereignty and Treaty Protection Office of the Lummi Nation and with other tribal nations as we work to create a seaside sanctuary for orcas who are retired from life in concrete tanks and that can also serve as a rescue and rehabilitation facility for marine mammals in the region.
In July of this year, we held a series of six town meetings across the Salish Sea region – Seattle, Olympia, Gig Harbor, San Juan Island, Lopez Island and Orcas Island – to discuss our concept for a home in the San Juan Islands for orcas who are retired from entertainment parks, and how it can also serve as a rehab/rescue facility for the endangered Southern Resident orcas.
Here's the presentation at the meeting in Seattle. Lori Marino talks about the origins of the Whale Sanctuary Project in the wake of the movie Blackfish as public opinion began pressing for an end to using whales and dolphins as a form of entertainment. She describes how a group of whale and dolphin scientists, former trainers, attorneys, writers and other experts came together to plan the creation of a seaside sanctuary where orcas and belugas could be retired; and what it's like for whales and dolphins living in concrete tanks. Jeff Foster describes the main features of a seaside sanctuary and how it can also serve the needs of orcas in the wild. And then Charles Vinick talks about the locations we've been exploring and what it will take to create the sanctuary itself. The presentation runs 42 minutes:
After each of the presentation at the six town meetings, there was a Q&A period, including general comments and discussion. Here's the Q&A session from the meeting on Lopez Island, trimmed to 20 minutes from its original 40:
And here are some photos from the various town meetings:

I fully support this. We need the Orcas back in familiar waters with their families.
A series of posts about the status of our work in selecting a location for the first seaside sanctuary in North America for orcas and beluga whales being retired from captivity at marine entertainment parks.
Site Search in British Columbia
The number of possible locations for an orca sanctuary in B.C. must be in the thousands. Most of them, however, are too far from human civilization – fresh water, power, transport, schools, medical facilities – to be practical.
Unlike most of the potential sanctuary locations in Puget Sound, Deepwater Bay on Cypress Island is sparsely populated. It's also close to the mainland.
Site Search in Nova Scotia
Two communities along the Eastern Shore are working closely with us to plan how the sites they've proposed can be configured to meet the needs both of the whales and of local residents with fishing and boating interests.

How Does a Patient Evaluate Clean?
Patients evaluate cleanliness on what they understand and given that most patients do not have knowledge of infection prevention processes, they usually depend on what is readily available to them: our senses.
We have five basic senses: touch, sight, sound, smell and taste. The sensing organs associated with each sense sends information to the brain to help us understand and perceive the world around us. In the case of perceiving cleanliness, all but taste are used in developing a patient's evaluation of clean.
Touch is thought to be the first sense that humans develop, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The organ for the human sense of touch is the skin; it is the largest sense organ and unlike others, it is not located at any specific place but the entire body. You can close your eyes and imagine what is it like to be blind, and you can cover your ears and imagine what is it like to be deaf, but you can't turn off touch. Touch tells you if something is hot or cold, rough or smooth, heavy or light, sharp or blunt, wet or dry.
So how does that translate into cleanliness? Everything a patient touches in their hospital room and during their stay will trigger emotions and feelings. When you touch something wet do you think warm cozy thoughts? What about something rough or textured? When you think of being comfortable is that on soft fluffy pillows and blankets or on a hard cold surface? It is important we understand sense of touch and the emotions certain touches trigger. EVS has an opportunity to ensure surfaces are smooth and dry, that linens are free of rip free and soft to the touch, and that bed mattresses are in good repair. Strong EVS leaders seek out and recommend paper products that are not only cost effective but soft to the touch and nursing also can impact what patients feel through ensuring they are dry and at a comfortable temperature.
Through a patient's eyes is a common phrase often heard when speaking of patient satisfaction. The sense of sight is the easiest for one to understand, but is everyone looking from a patient's vantage point? Or even the vantage point of a visitor? A patient lying in a bed looks up to the vents, across to the side of a bedside table and when they step out of bed, directly down to the floor. A seated visitor is often looking directly under the bed. Do these areas look clean or dirty? Are they free from visible dust and debris? Raising the level of scrutiny, items may be clean however items may be perceived as dirty due to wear. . For example, furniture that is stained, torn, or broken will be perceived as not clean. And perhaps most commonly associated with clean is clutter. Are there linens on the floor or laying out in site in the room? Has a meal tray been left in the room? These visual cues can negatively impact patient perception of clean; however other cues reinforce clean. EVS can provide these by v-tipping toilet paper, ensuring trash cans are empty and most obviously by carrying out daily cleaning in plain sight of the patient, preferably at as high a frequency as is reasonable.
Sound has a powerful effect on us. Hearing is your primary warning sense, a sudden sound will start a process. It releases cortisol, it increases your heart rate, changes your breathing. This occurs because we have been programmed to assume that any sudden or unexplained sound is a threat. It changes our emotions and moods. Can you think of a song that makes you happy? Sad? Powerful? What about relaxed? Sounds of nature, birds singing, ocean waves, and rain falling all are sounds that help us feel relaxed and reassured. Now think of the sounds you hear in a hospital, conversations, equipment beeping, construction, all while you are in a room, unable to see exactly what is causing the sound. When patients are relaxed and comfortable it aids in the healing process and also makes them perceive that they are in a clean, safe, comfortable environment. It is important to reduce unknown, unpleasant, abrupt noises and loud sounds.
Smell is the most sensitive of the senses. People can remember smells with 65% accuracy after a year, while visual recall is about 50% after three months. Studies show that 75% of emotions are triggered by smell which is linked to pleasure, well-being, emotion and memory. The emotions we feel affect the way we relate to places and brands. Have you ever come across a scent of something that instantly takes you back to an old memory? Whether it reminds you of your mother's cooking or a childhood trip to the ocean, a distinctive scent sinks into your brain and stays there. Creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for patients is a challenge for every healthcare facility, be it large or small. For example, lavender fragrances have been used in nursing homes to calm residents and emergency rooms to calm worried visitors. Hospitals, treatment centers and nursing homes are prone to musky smells and malodors and yet these health organizations host patients that are often sensitive to perfumes. It is worthwhile that facilities think strategically on a scenting solution to include selecting cleaning chemicals that can be associated with clean and not so intrusive as to cause discomfort.

Life to Labyrinth
https://feed.podbean.com/life2labyrinth/feed.xml
Three Canadians that realized we were sick of hearing the same 50 songs we listened to in high school. So we're going to be introducing each other to music we like and music we've heard is good, even if we think we'll hate it! Each week we pick an album, listen, and discuss it to see where the conversation takes us. Join us as we explore the pop culture that made us! **Podcast theme music by Devon Rose**
MuchMusic - Big Shiny Tunes 2&3
After talking about how they wanted to revisit these albums since the podcast started, Bryn and Angie have finally let themselves listen to the Canadian phenomenon that was the Big Shiny Tunes compilations. Focusing on the two most important in their lives they've gone with #2 and #3 from 1997 and 1998 respectively.
Podcast Theme Music by Devon Rose
Jim Henson's - Labyrinth
In this episode we really expose how far in advance we record episodes vs when we release them. In September 2021, for our first anniversary as a podcast we closed out our musical reviews with the 1986 movie Labyrinth. Staring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly we look at this crazy Jim Henson movie and discuss the bizarre David Bowie soundtrack....you know when we weren't getting sidetracked by the prominent Bowie Bulge
On this episode we come in under our usual time due to technical issues when we were recording, but we were so excited to talk about 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory that we pushed on and tried to still salvage an episode out of it. We figured it's a bizarre movie with weird music and this bizarro episode is probably suitable. I SAID GOOD DAY!
For this episode we took it way back to 1960 for the TV broadcast of the 1954 musical of the story of Peter Pan, Staring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard. Bryn and Angie reflect on how despite this being the most low budget production they've ever seen, everyone they spoke to over the week had absolutely seen it.
Clap for Tinker Bell so she knows you believe in fairies, and doesn't die...clap! don't let Tink die! CLAP!! CLAP!!!
After much promising that went unfulfilled we finally got a bonus episode done! We've joined in the annual fun of watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show for Halloween and have of course spent time listening to the soundtrack. Joined by a Angie's friend Emily, we share stories of loving the music and the movie that we've all seen "a bazillion" times, while simultaneously never having committed much of the plot to memory. Who actually knows the correct Time Warp dance moves? Emily claims it's her....
On this episode as we continue forth with exploring and reviewing musicals we arrive in 2001 for Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! Angie teaches us that this falls into a new category of musical that we were unfamiliar with, Rob doesn't hold back about his love for Nicole Kidman, and Bryn just can't enjoy a good thing and needs to discuss tuberculosis.
In this episode we continue our attempt of watching and reviewing musicals with 2005's The Producers. Featuring Mel Brooks' soundtrack as a backbone we explore a first time watch for Bryn and Angie, while our guest host Rob enjoys another of his many rewatches of this legendary film.
Disney's - Mary Poppins
After discussing it for ages and teasing it in past episodes we finally dove headfirst into our first week of watching musicals. Our friend Rob is back to help us review and try to understand the cultural milestone that is Disney's Mary Poppins. We share memories of the movie and talk about how Mary Poppins is perhaps not really the hero of the story.
Sly & The Family Stone - The Woodstock Experience
On this episode Bryn and Angie discuss how watching the documentary Summer of Soul turned into listening to Sly & The Family Stone's performance at Woodstock. The album is called The Woodstock Experience and it's an amazing snapshot of one of the best bands every put together at the top of their game. Naturally the conversation drifts to talking about the The Woodstock Music and Art Fair and the Harlem Cultural Festival that the Summer of Soul documentary is about.
Eve 6 - Eve 6
On this episode we wrap up our 90's theme with Angie's own pick for her birthday. The 1998 self titled release by Eve 6, yes the "Heart in a Blender song" album. We manage to draw our conclusions and tangent all under 50 min for this pocket sized episode. By the way, in case we don't mention it in the episode you can find their twitter here.


There are lots of lonely people out there, and when these people get crafty with robots, all kinds of creepy things can happen. You see, Japanese YouTuber Mansooon0 likes to lick his computer screen as a way to "worship" his favorite anime characters. Sounds reasonable.
Necessity truly is the mother of invention. Mansooon0 got tired of always wiping saliva off his screen, so he came up with a solution. No, he didn't just stop acting like a weirdo and keep his tongue in his mouth. Instead, he built a simple device to do the screen licking for him. A robot tongue. You might call it a Tongue-inator.
He used a servo motor, a realistic silicone tongue and some Arduino circuitry to build it. Creepy yet effective, this robot tongue will lick Anime girls all day long, right up until the cops come and ask to see your album of newspaper clippings. You know, the ones with the headlines that line up with the string of recent disappearances in your area.

"And since, when we were his enemies, we were brought back to God by the death of His Son, what a blessing He must have for us now that we are His friends, and He is living within us!" (Romans 5:10).
Marilyn had a very poor self-image. She hated the way she looked and felt that her personality was so bad that she could never expect to have true friends. She was concerned especially about marriage. How could she ever find a man to love her since she was so unattractive (in her thinking).
I was able to help her see how much God loved her, and how great was His blessing for her as a child of God. The supernatural life-style was available to her, and she was the one to determine whether or not she would measure up, as an act of the will by faith, to what God had called and enabled her to be. Her part was simply to trust and obey Him.
With God's help, she determined to be that kind of person, the kind of person God created her to be.
We who are Christians can see ourselves as God sees us and through the enabling of the Holy Spirit become what we are in His sight. With the eyes of love, He sees us covered with the blood of Christ, which was shed on the cross for our sins, and, as expressed in Hebrews 10, He sees us as holy, righteous and totally forgiven. He holds nothing against us. The penalty for our sins has been paid - once and for all. There is nothing which we can add.
Now we have the privilege of becoming in our experience what we are already in God's sight.
TODAY'S ACTION POINT: Through the enabling of the Holy Spirit, I will begin to see myself as God sees me: loved, forgiven, holy, righteous, spiritually mature, aggressive and fruitful for the glory of God. Today I will live by faith the supernatural life which is my heritage in Christ.


Okay so we had decided that my sister should move in. Things had been going well, we had a few hiccups but always worked them out. The kids had no idea who was in charge and would take advantage of the situation. My sister's boyfriend started using again, so we sat down with her and said that he was no longer allowed around any of the children. She was upset, but listened. A few days after that conversation she left! Two weeks before Christmas of 2011. She never said bye to her kids or us. I had three heartbroken boys, that didn't understand why their mom would do that. It's been a year and a half since she left. The boys are flourishing! They have hurts that I will never know but I will try to understand. I wake up knowing that I am now a mother of six. I work, I cook, I clean, I do laundry, the list goes on and on. Me and my husband now have permanent custody over Jeffery 10, Jacob 9, and Christopher 7. We aren't the everyday average family, what does that even mean? What is average? Well I know you have been waiting to see pics of these handsome fellows, so here you go!
I'm going to take a moment to let you into my head for a minute. I want you to understand who I am. I was 27 when this life changing event occurred. I had No idea what was going to happen. No one ever wants to see their sister or brother fail. To watch three little hearts get crushed! I can't even to begin to get you to understand how heart wrenching this is. My children would now have three new brothers, they would have to share their Mommy and Daddy.
Back to where I was before. My sister had committed to complete this program, it was only three months long. She ended up getting kicked out for inappropriate behavior about two months in. She had met a man in there that she had "fallen in love with." They moved into a very small motel room for about a month. I would get a call every once in awhile and I would tell her that she needed to find another program. Once she had left the original program I would not let the three boys talk to her. How would I tell them that she chose a man over them, that they weren't worth getting better for?
Finally the call saying that she had found a program that would take her and her boyfriend! I was so excited! I told the boys that mommy found a new program and it might take a little longer but mommy was going to get better. A month later we received a call from the Pastor that my sister was Pregnant. Stop just for a second, I was furious! How do you tell these boys that mommy was going to have another baby? How was she going to provide for them all? These thoughts were running through my head.
My sister called us and told us that she was pregnant about a week after the Pastor broke the news to us. She didn't know what to do, it wasn't in her plans of things to do. She said that she would still finish the program and she did. She was released and had no where to go. Where would she go? Me and my husband talked about letting her stay with us and decided that that would be the best thing for her. We told her that there would be rules, the three boys were doing very well under our instruction and that they would still be under our direction for awhile. We said that we would slowly direct them back to her. She agreed and moved in.
Okay where were we? Oh yeah, we had completed our family and we were happy. A little over two years ago I had gotten a call from my sister. My sis had a hard life and it often showed in the way she lived and the things that she depended on. Back to the call, she was using her desperate voice, CPS had been called and she was terrified that they were going to take her kids away. She knew that they would find out what she had been into. I told her that Me and my husband, Rich, would take the three boys until she cleaned up. She agreed.
Wait, did you get that? I just said I would raise someones kids for them! I didn't hesitate, they were my nephews. We had my sis meet someone involved in getting her hooked up with a Christian Shelter. She entered the program angry and not knowing when she would see the kids again. I told her that she needed to take this step to a better life. It was an emotional time for those little boys. We took them to see her pretty often. Visits would be stressful because they would revert to acting out and misbehaving. They didn't understand. My simple life of raising three kids was Over. My world and everyone in it was turned upside down.

I am having to replace the climbing rings on my maytronics premier dolphin pool cleaner. In order to do so, I have to remove the tracks and brushes. This is the 3rd summer I have used this cleaner (I leave it in the pool most of the winter too).
Is there a way to determine when I should replace the tracks and brushes as well?
When the tracks are loose or the machine has no traction.

Race, Ethnicity, Sexuality, and Women's Political Consciousness of Gender
Existing research emphasizes the importance of group identification and perceived similarity in the development of group consciousness. Intersectionality suggests that for many women, a political consciousness of gender may also stem from experiences with race, ethnicity, and sexuality and may be interconnected with a consciousness of other forms of inequality. This study analyzes data from a recent national survey to investigate how race, ethnicity, and sexuality intersect with women's gendered political consciousness.
Priming Effects and Performance Expectations in Mixed-Sex Task Groups
I report the results of a laboratory experiment in which I examine the relationship between cognitive categorization processes and status-organizing processes, focusing on how seemingly irrelevant information becomes relevant to the informational structure of a task situation. In phase one, participants completed a task in which they were primed with photographs of women occupying either stereotypical or counter-stereotypical roles. In phase two, participants, along with a partner, completed a collective decision-making task.
Unburdening Stigma: Identity Repair through Rituals in Mental Health Court
A growing trend in the criminal justice system is the move toward problem-solving courts, including mental health courts. Using case studies of two mental health courts in a West Coast city, this article seeks to explore how mental health courts may operate by reducing stigma among clients. From observations of the court process in mental health courts and qualitative interviews with mental health court professional staff and mental health court clients, ritual process emerged as a powerful theme that underscores the management of social stigma.
Doing or Undoing Gender? An Explorative Study of Gender, Activities, and Well-being among People with Mental Illness Attending Day Centers in Sweden
This study explores gender, activity, and well-being among people with mental illness attending day centers in Sweden. Based on survey data of 215 attendees, this study applies the concepts of doing gender and regulatory regimes to analyze the relationship between being involved in gendered activities and well-being. The results show that while both male and female participants are involved in gender-neutral activities, men are less likely to engage in women-dominated (WD) activities while women are more prone to engage in men-dominated (MD) activities.
Racial Identity and Well-Being among African Americans
How racial identity influences self-esteem and psychological well-being among African Americans remains unresolved due to unexplained inconsistencies in theoretical predictions and empirical findings. Using data from the National Survey of American Life (N = 3,570), we tested hypotheses derived from social identity theory and the internalized racism perspective. Findings support social identity theory in showing that African Americans strongly identify with their group and view it very positively.
Police Violence and Citizen Crime Reporting in the Black Community
High-profile cases of police violence—disproportionately experienced by black men—may present a serious threat to public safety if they lower citizen crime reporting. Using an interrupted time series design, this study analyzes how one of Milwaukee's most publicized cases of police violence against an unarmed black man, the beating of Frank Jude, affected police-related 911 calls.

Review Essays: Bully Nation and Our Current Predicament
The publication of Bully Nation in 2016 could not have been more timely. Its release came as the United States witnessed acts of domestic terrorism and mass shootings, a rash of video-recorded police killings of unarmed African American men, and the successful presidential bid of a candidate whose campaign engaged in unprecedented acts of intimidation and personal abuse of political rivals, including threats of incarceration and political assassination of his opponent in the general election.

4 Times Fashion Was Inspired By Art And We Sat Up And Took Notice
From Gucci to Christian Louboutin, in the last 2 decades, major fashion houses have blurred the line between art and advertising
Gucci – Spring/Summer 2018
Creative director Alessandro Michele created an imaginative campaign featuring his signature delirious mix of eclectic, mismatched pieces trimmed with sequins, ribbons, pearls and brocade. Inspired by the Old Masters, Michele hired Spanish artist Ignasi Monreal, who produced digital paintings on his computer depicted in Renaissance-style portraiture. 'I wanted to use the opportunity to create a kind of love letter dedicated to the paintings themselves, to the big masters and the works that we love', the 27-year-old Spanish artist was quoted saying. Borrowing from classics, one of his artworks portrays Ophelia by Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896) where he illustrated a story from Shakespeare's Hamlet depicting Ophelia floating in a stream before being drowned by the weight of her heavy dress. The new Gucci version has a happy ending, however — the gold-sequinned heroine is lifted from the water by Monreal, who wears a Gucci suit.
Valentino – Fall/Winter 2013
One of the most striking campaigns of Fall 2013 was that of Maison Valentino, inspired by the Dutch artworks of the golden age. Photographer couple Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot the campaign and had the models pose in a demure, modest manner, in accordance with the period. Additionally, they created still-life images that reflected the Flemish style, focusing on the flowers, shells and insects that are reminiscent of that period.
Christian Louboutin – Fall/Winter 2011
For the brand's Fall 2011 campaign, the designer went back to the Renaissance period and drawing inspiration from the portraits of famous women, reimagined these masterpieces with contemporary models. Take, for example, Georges De La Tour's popular Magdalene and the Flame which paints a woman seated at a desk gazing pensively at a flickering candle while stroking a skull. In Louboutin's version, a gorgeous shoe has been placed in the lady's line of vision to make it seem like she is peering at the sublime footwear. Ditto for Jean-Marc Nattier's Marquise D'Antin which depicts a Victorian dame in a bustle dress balancing a petite bird on one of her fingers. Again, her outstretched arm deftly accommodates a leopard print clutch that looks as if it had always been a part of the painting.
Marithé and François Gribaud – Fall/Winter 2005
In 2005, the French fashion house took Leonardo Da Vinci's iconic Last Supper and replaced all the biblical characters with female models except John the Apostle, who is played by a man sitting on a woman's lap, his torso bare and jeans riding low. This did not sit too well with the faithful and many demanded that the image, plastered across hoardings in Paris and New York, should be taken down. The designer duo defended their work saying, 'Modern society has enabled women to achieve sexual equality with men only by sacrificing their femininity. This advertisement's interpretation of Leonardo's painting does not trivialise the sacred, but rather creates a new perception of femininity by presenting men – instead of women – in a position of fragility.'

Q: Using for loop with variables from Designer.cs in Windows Forms Hi I'm having a problem,
                if (y == 0)
                {
                    if (stjarnorload[y] == 1)
                    {
                        pictureBox6.Image = Properties.Resources.Star_Red;
                        pictureBox7.Image = Properties.Resources.Star_Black;
                        pictureBox8.Image = Properties.Resources.Star_Black;
                        pictureBox9.Image = Properties.Resources.Star_Black;
                        pictureBox10.Image = Properties.Resources.Star_Black;
                    }
                }

The code: if(stjarnorload[y] == 1) in if(y == 0) has much code, and when if(stjarnorload[y] == 2) it has another code, and same up to 5. Then when y == 1 I need to do the same thing, but with other variables.
So this is like 30 lines of code if I don't loop it, but you can't use lists with pictureBoxes in Designer.cs someone told me.
Can someone help??

A: Do you mean MyForm.Designer.cs?  The file generated by the designer?
You shouldn't really modify it because if you change anything on the form, your changes will be lost.
You can put your changes in the constructor after the call to InitializeComponent() in the equivalent MyForm.cs.  Does that help?

Heat Recovery ventilation (HRV) is a complete supply and extract system where the ventilation rate is controlled via supply and extract fans. It consist of a heat exchanger where the extracted stale air is crossed with the supply air where the energy stored in the air is transferred from the high side to the low side hence the heat recovery term.
Efficiency of heat exchangers are the ratio of heat transferred from the low side to the high side. Plate heat exchangers efficiency is sensible efficiency only and would require drains, while paper heat exchangers are sensible and latent and would not require drains.
Capturing this waste energy means the heating/ cooling requirements of the building are reduced, so smaller size plant can be selected, savings can be made in long term energy consumption, and carbon emissions are reduced.
The SAF recovers heat energy which would otherwise be exhausted to atmosphere, and uses this energy to warm the air entering the building. The reverse happens in warmer climates, where the exhausted cool air is used to partially cool the incoming air.
