Marioni will show at Salone del Mobile 2018 new interesting proposals enriching Notorious and La Récréation collections. The "Joe" line composed by tables and consoles plays on the different composition of modular elements in lacquered wood, precious ceramic tiles and interlocking brass legs to create elegant structures of various heights and dimensions. The extra clear glass tops emphasize the shaped geometries. The "Sunset" floor and table sculpture lamps collection use an OLED lighting system of the Korean company LG. These ultra sophisticated and Hi Tech light sources illuminate the ceramic elements, creating a scenographic game of reflections on both sides.

Two synchronized videos are presented side by side as a split screen. In the center of the right image a woman is slowly rotating, filming with an iPhone the foggy scenery around her. This 360 degrees pan, and what she sees on her display, shows the video on the left. In the last quarter of the rotation the author of the right picture appears. Also equipped with an iPhone, this person films the turning woman. Both videos repeat when the circle is done. Before the pan or loop starts again, both videos pass by from the right like an endless tape or film strip.
The video where shot in June 2012 together with the Taiwanese artist Ting Cheng from London during an artist-in-residence program in Seyðisfjörður, a small town in the east of Iceland.


"An informed Future: Enhancing industry performance through evidence-based decision making".
The Horseracing Industry Conference has a line-up of speakers which include Nick Rust, CEO of the British Horseracing Authority, academics from the University of Liverpool and students of the Thoroughbred Horseracing Industries MBA (both past and present).
The morning of the conference will focus on the industry as a whole and then the afternoon programme divides into two breakout sessions; one being people focussed and the other equine focussed. Laura Friend will be presenting on behalf of the Thoroughbred Health Network which will be used as a case study to discuss the "Challenges of leveraging veterinary research" at both an industry level and an end user level. A write-up of the discussions held will be updated to THN's website following the conference.
The new Horseracing Industry Conference is an outcome of the industry's new Thoroughbred Horseracing Industries MBA, which was launched as a new degree programme at the University of Liverpool in 2015. The University of Liverpool have organised the event, in partnership with the Racing Foundation, and all proceeds generated by the conference will be donated to Racing Welfare.
We look forward to seeing you there and we hope this conference will be the first of many more to come!
The programme for the event is below and the hashtag for the conference will be #HRIC18.
NOTE: Nick Rust will now speak at 10am and Dr Babatunde Buraimo and Professor David Forrest at 11:00am.

The recovery in the U.S. property market has proved to be choppy. National home prices still haven't returned to 2005 levels, according to David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, who cites both new and existing home sales. "Many people predicted a huge surge in 2014, and we're not quite seeing that," says Don Frommeyer, president of the Association of Mortgage Professionals. Mortgage rates are up about a percentage point from last year, home prices are rising, housing inventory is low and the economy is still shaky, he says.
While many Realtors remain positive about the prospect of sales of new and existing family homes and condos for the spring season, an increase in mortgage interest rates, strict lending standards, and the gradual withdrawal of investors from many major metropolitan areas have produced a triple threat for home sellers, says Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "We're already seeing some evidence in a few markets that some prices are going into negative territory," he says. The good news for those who do qualify for a mortgage: There are still competitively priced homes for first-time buyers, Blomquist says.
House prices in Oklahoma City dipped 1% year-over-year in the first quarter after a 5% fall in the fourth quarter of 2013, according to RealtyTrac. Oklahoma had an extremely cold winter. And higher health-care payments under the Affordable Care Act impacted some of her clients, says Leslie Thomas, real-estate agent with Keller Williams Realty in Central Oklahoma. "I had individuals who qualified for one home, but who were not able to qualify for the same home after their insurance was adjusted," she says. Thomas expects the market to pick up in the second quarter and has seen "multiple offers" for one property. Meanwhile, institutional investors in Oklahoma have remained steady. They accounted for 7.6% of all sales in the first quarter of 2014 versus 7.8% a year earlier.
There was a 1% annual dip in Jacksonville in the first quarter of 2014 after a 15% rise for both the third and fourth quarters of 2013, according to RealtyTrac's sales price data, which is derived from public record sales deed data that includes all property transactions publicly recorded. "Homes are priced competitively, but we have a higher demand than inventory," says Melanie Green, spokeswoman for the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors. Green says prices for new and existing condos and single-family homes (sold through a Realtor) actually rose 2.7% on the year in the first three months of 2014. However, RealtyTrac's median prices are based on the sales price on the deed, which includes sales not listed on "Multiple Listing Services" — the industry's main database that also includes information available only to real estate professionals — such as third party purchases at foreclosure auction and bulk transactions between investors.
Existing home prices in Tulsa fell 2% in the first quarter of 2014 after falling 3% in the third and fourth quarters of last year, according to RealtyTrac; prices there rose 6% in the second quarter of 2013. "Those statistics are fairly accurate in reflecting the market as it pertains to my experience," says Frank Petrouskie, a Realtor in Tulsa. "I think we've been delayed by about six weeks for the spring selling season and I'm now seeing more houses come on the market. But the last quarter of last year was a very strange environment. There wasn't much inventory out there but there wasn't much demand either." Retail investors have become more skittish in recent years and there's a slight imbalance in market expectations, he says. "Buyers seem to be a bit more cautious and sellers seem to want a little more than the market can bear." Institutional investors accounted for just 2.4% of all sales in the first quarter versus 10.3% a year earlier.
There was an 8% drop in existing home sales in Greensboro-High Point, N.C., after a 2% rise in the fourth quarter, RealtyTrac found. "There's still a lot of uncertainty about the economy," says Tommy Camp, president and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Yost & Little Realty. "Some buyers say, 'We've got a job, but we don't know how secure that is.'" A slowdown in household formation has also had a negative impact on the housing market, he says; 18- to 34-year-olds account for more than half of missing households — that is, Americans who would be owning or renting a home now if prerecession economic trends had continued. But while the overall volume of sales was down 12% from January 2014 to April 2014, sales of new and existing homes sold by Realtors were up by around 5% on the year during the same period, Camp says.
Home prices fell 2% in the first quarter in Lancaster after rising 2% in the fourth quarter. Institutional investors made up just 1.4% of sales in that market in the first quarter, down from 7.6% for the year-earlier period, according to RealtyTrac. Some Realtors remain more optimistic than RealtyTrac's figures, however. "We've weathered the storm with less dramatic effect compared to the rest of the country," says Susan Allison, a Realtor based in Lancaster. "We just didn't have the same level of layoffs or unemployment or foreclosures or distressed housing," she adds. The first quarter of the year was slow for everyone with regard to pending sales and home sales, especially with interest rates trending upward. Still, Allison says house prices sold by Realtors rose 3% in the first quarter year-over-year.

New country, new currency, new feeling. I have to get used to a new currency, the Nuevo Sol. The Peruvians look different than the Mexicans, they are very curious and want to know immediately ones nationality, name, age and profession.
During my two days in Lima I only stayed in Miraflores, there are many colonial buildings in this elegant suburb, and numerous cosy cafes, where one can while away the hours with people watching. From the Hostel Home Peru it was only a 20 minute walk to the coast. One afternoon I sat in the warm sunshine in the Parque del Amor, the park of love, watching the surfers down on the beach riding the waves. After the pollution of Mexico City I really enjoyed breathing in clean sea air. Unfortunately, it was not much better in Lima, with scores of dilapidated old buses belching out black clouds of exhaust fumes along the main thoroughfares. I really wanted to experience the Peruvian Andes, and my travel route to Cusco was going to take me to Huancayo and Ayacucho. I once read about these places in a novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, one of the most famous Peruvian writers, and that made me curious. Thursday afternoon I went with Cruz del Sur, one of the better bus companies, to Huancayo; during the seven hour journey the bus was climbing the steep roads with many switchbacks from sea level to about 4000 m into the central Andean highlands.
As it was my first bus journey in Peru, I did not know what to expect. In Mexico one or two films would be put on and that would be it. Here in Peru it was non stop entertainment. A young man, the bus attendant so to speak, welcomed the passengers and explained the programme: First there was food, and not bad either, then a film was shown, then another film was shown, (both with JLo) then it was time for a game of bingo, then yet another film was shown. The time just flew by and before I knew it we arrived in Huancayo. I actually wanted to go to a different hotel but the taxi driver opined that the Casa de la Abuela was a much better place and drove me there; and as it turned out it was a good idea, because it is probably the most comfortable hostel in Huancayo.
As a little welcome I got a voucher for one Calentito at La Cabaña, a cosy bar and restaurant opposite the hostel and owned by the same guy who owns the hostel, Lucho, with very good business acumen as one can see. After I had put my things in the small dormitory and had refreshed myself a bit, I decided to try one of these Calentitos and have an early night, and just as I closed the door behind me I bumped into Rosario (she is the web designer for Lucho's Incas del Peru site), she also wanted to go to La Cabaña, so we went over there together. Every week from Thursday to Saturday they have live music there, traditional music from the Andes. A short while later we joined Lucho and two of his friends, who had arrived in the meantime, and I decided to try a Pisco Sour, if made properly, it is a very potent and delicious brew. We had great fun and danced a lot, and several Calentitos and another bar later I was quite inebriated and got back to the hostel at about half past two. So much for an rl night.
Huancayo (3271 m) is a relatively young town - during my stay there was a celebration for the 145th anniversary - and a typically South American, noisy, bustling and dusty place. There is a large market round the corner from the hostel, next to mountains of countless potato varieties there are all sorts of fruit and vegetables and sacks full of quinoa, oats, lentils and many other grains which I had never seen before. There is even purple corn, which is used to make a delicious drink, chicha morada. I ate lunch for 2.50 Soles, noodle soup and lomo saltado, a type of beef stir fry with onions and tomatos, served with chips and rice. The potato originates from South America and there are over 1.000 different varieties, it was introduced in Europe only after the discovery of America by Columbus.
The driving style of the Peruvians is absolutely dreadful, that I have learned in Huancayo. The drivers constantly honk when going through a road crossing or into a sharp bend, to warn others; they kindly honk before running over any walker, so that one can jump aside quickly. No one has an ounce of consideration for others and everyone just pushes past where they can. The streets are jam packed with colectivos (small transporters used as collective taxis), and they echo with the shouting of the ticket collectors, who tirelessly cry out the final destination of the routes and collect passengers. It is unbelievable how many people can be packed into one colectivo. Most Peruvians are of small stature and most Gringos, who are huge by comparison, have to squeeze into the small seats.
On the Sunday Lucho organised a barbecue at the hostel, a real feast: barbecued lamb in a spicy sauce, different potatoes and sweet potatoes, coleslaw, japchi (a spicy cheese sauce with a Peruvian herb, huancatec) and chicha morada. They were among the best potatoes I have ever eaten.
On the Monday I went together with Arbell and Rotem, a lovely couple from Israel who I had met at the hostel, to Huancavelica on the train. The Autovagon consists of only one carriage and travels once a day in the afternoon on this route; the very bumpy train journey took five hours leading through picturesque, green mountain scenery along a river running through a deep gorge. The steep mountain slopes were covered with blankets of vegetable fields, animals were grazing, sometimes dangerously close to the edge of the slope. The train went through many small tunnels and once the men had to shovel a pile of mud from the track in front of such a tunnel so that the train could carry on. During the rainy season the track sometimes becomes unpassable. At every station at which the train was calling a few women with huge baskets were already waiting, trying to sell as much as possible of their edible wares during the short waiting time. Next to us sat a Peruvian photographer shooting countless pictures with his g tal Nikon for an English publisher; despite a sign in the carriage informing the passengers that no alocoholic beverages were allowed on the train, he almost finished his small bottle of rum during the journey.
When we finally arrived in Huancavelica (3680 m) it was already dark and we went to a hotel that was recommended in my guide book, Hotel Camacho. We were really hungry and immediately went to a Chinese restaurant, they are called Chifa in Peru. In the 19th century many Chinese workers came to Peru, therefore there are many Chifas all over the country. The portions were huge and the taste quite different from Europe. Huancavelica is a pretty small town with typical Spanish colonial architecture, surrounded by imposing mountain ranges. There are many hiking opportunities in the area. I wanted to climb up a steep hill to a viewing point, however, the hill was steeper than I thought and I was on my own, and in additon to that I noticed the effects of high altitude, which makes climbing so much more laborious. So I abandoned my attempt a third way up. Still, I was rewarded with a lovely view. On the way to the hill I asked an old, almost toothless woman sitting in front of a shop if she was selling Inka Cola, i h she was not. She asked me where I was from. I answered: 'Soy de Alemania.' (I am from Germany) She commented: 'Tienes un monton de plata.' (You have a lot of money). Which is true, because for the majority of Peruvians travelling to such faraway places is an unobtainable dream, it is a poor country. Another time I was asked by a couple of giggling school children 'Do you speak English?'. I was nearly the only Gringa in town and really stood out with my blonde hair and fair skin. They wanted to know where I was from and what I was doing here. They did not know much English so the conversation continued in Spanish.
Arbell and Rotem continued their journey towards the coast and we lost each other without exchanging email addresses (but we were to meet again in Cusco later on), and so I travelled the next day on my own from Huncavelica to Santa Ines. This part of my journey got a little adventurous. The bus to Santa Ines left really early, at a quarter to five in the morning, it was still dark and the traders on the small square in front of the waiting room of the bus company were just setting up their stalls. A few people were eating steaming hot soup for breakfast. I was the only Gringa around. The rickety old bus had a luggage rack on the roof and my backpack was hoisted up as well, the seats were narrow and uncomfortable and the ususal Andean tunes croaked from the very distorted speakers. The bumpy journey to Santa Ines took three hours on rough roads climbing up steeply with countless switchbacks to nearly 5000 m. The landscape has an indescribable barren beauty which is intensified during sun rise. Only casional y another truck went past then we were alone once again with the mighty Andean peaks. One turnoff from this road leads to the highest drivable pass in the world, at 5059 m. At half past seven the bus finally arrived in Santa Ines, the only one per day, and I got out. There I stood in this completely godforsaken place at 4680m and wondered what to do. I only decided to come here because there was a beautiful lake nearby and to see alpacas up close. Santa Ines is a small settlement with a few houses, a couple of restaurants and shops and a few places to stay for the night. The place only exists because of alpaca farming and a copper- and lead mine nearby. Life here is pretty hard and elementary, the people seem rather stern, surely shaped by the harsh climate.
My simple room did not have electricity, just a candle, let alone heating, the baño (loo and washing basin) was outside, there was only cold water, I did not see a shower, but for one day that did not matter anyway. The bedcover consisted of six woolen blankets, which were needed, as it was bitterly cold at night. In the morning I went for a long walk down to the lovely and tranquil lake, and I saw several alpaca herds, during the day they graze on the altiplano and in the evening they are taken back to their walled enclosure. Apart from the occasionally passing truck driver waving at me and an alpaca shepardess watching her herd I did not see a single human soul and felt very small in this seemingly endless space. This high altitude ramble really tired me out and later on in my room I felt slightly headachy and nauseaus, probably mild sypmptoms of altitude sickness.
This day was very long and I thought of the bus with which I was going to Rumichaca the next morning, and from there to Ayacucho. The people in Santa Ines told me it would be no problem to get a bus from Rumichaca to Ayacucho. However, when I got to Rumichaca at half past eight I found out that maybe there would be a bus in the afternoon, but definitely the night bus from Lima would come through. Well, I sat at the table in front of a row of food stalls chatting with some very friendly people and they thought something would surely come up, perhaps a lift with a truck. And it did. A little while later a taxt stopped and some discussions and price negotiations later I sat in the taxi with two other passengers on the way to Ayacucho, and the road we were going on was a relatively new and paved Autopista, what a change. There is a part where the rocks of the mountains are all the colours of the rainbow, an amazing scenery. In the early afternoon I arrived in Ayacucho, it almost felt like coming back to vilis tion. The climate was lovely, like a warm summers day in Europe with pleasant, balmy evenings and from time to time a bit of rain.

Q: How to get BusyBox udhcpc to run in background forever? I would like to configure eth0 on my BusyBox based Linux system to try and get a DHCP lease for 5 times, then run in the background forever if it doesn't get an IP after those 5 tries (i.e. does not inhibit the rest of the applications starting up).
I have been experimenting with various options via udhcpc_opts in /etc/network/interfaces, e.g.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    udhcpc_opts --retries 5 --background --syslog

however I can't work out how to make it stay in the background trying indefinitely.  I.E. I want 5 initial tries, then an infinite no. of retries in the background.  Can anyone help?

A: I ended up modifying the BusyBox config., which was automatically adding the '-n' option when launching the DCHP client.  With this removed, the client goes into the background if it does not immediately get an address.

The Village Voice On Giuliani's Immigration Record
James Fulford
The Village Voice is editorially pro-immigrant, and if not actually pro-crime, then at least anti-police, so they've never liked Rudy Giuliani. But that doesn't mean that they are doing this expose on Rudy for purely political reasons—it's just fun to catch a politician lying in such detail.
Giuliani is not just a former New York mayor who has to answer to the GOP for policies that were benevolent to immigrants. Nearly three decades ago, when he was the third most powerful person in Ronald Reagan's Justice Department, he was also its point man on immigration. In the post of associate attorney general, as well as when he was U.S. Attorney in Manhattan in the late '80s and mayor in the '90s, he established a pro-immigrant record that goes far beyond his already-documented support of health care and other benefits for illegals. And if that doesn't play well with Florida primary voters, neither will the time he took a tough stance on immigrants and wound up being rebuked by federal judges–in part for his treatment of Cuban refugees.
The exploitation of immigration as a campaign issue has already shaped the presidential fortunes of three present or onetime frontrunners: John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Giuliani. McCain's early national lead disappeared with his prominent link to a Bush-backed immigration bill considered by every other GOP presidential hopeful, including Giuliani, to be too welcoming. Clinton's slide began when she tried to take both positions on the question of drivers' licenses for illegals in a primary debate. Giuliani all but abandoned Iowa, meanwhile, where polls indicated that immigration was the highest concern for Republican voters, and where his so-called "sanctuary city" record as mayor was near the top of the list of shifting policy positions that hurt him. Giuliani's desperate declaration in December that, as mayor, he wanted to deport all 400,000 of the city's undocumented immigrants but found himself "stuck" with them–a slight variation on his 1994 observation that undocumented immigrants were the kind of people "we want in this city"–became one of the galling contrasts that crippled him in Iowa and diminished his national numbers.village voice > news > Rudy's Immigration Problem by Wayne Barrett
They also have a story about a possible Giuliani personal connection to illegal workers:Who Built Rudy's House in the Hamptons? Giuliani's contractor might not have had a 'hire standard' on illegal labor by Wayne Barrett January 15th, 2008.

GST network in local lingo: GSTN CEO
B Sivakumar| TNN | Dec 12, 2019, 04:00 IST
Chennai: GST Network will be in all languages present in Schedule 8 of the Constitution in two months — a step that will make it easy for assesses in all states to upload returns and other documents with or without the help of a chartered accountant or advocates. Speaking to TOI, GSTN CEO Prakash Kumar said as of now the GSTN has asked all states to translate the details on the website. "At present, the GSTN is only in English and once the states send details in their local languages, it will be made available in those languages," he said.
The labels on the website will be in the local language. "We received demands for translating the details in all languages and based on that the website will is being re-jigged. The assesses can ask questions and receive replies in their language," said Kumar. "Initially we had problems as it was a new tax regime. But as of now more than 30 crore returns are uploaded and Rs 75,000 crore is being paid each time when the deadline for uploading returns end. On the last day of deadline, more than 25 lakh returns are being uploaded. We have a stabilised system compared to what we had when we started. But as in any website, if everyone uploads at the same time, there will be problems," he said. Terming the GSTN as safe from hackers, he said.
The GSTN is also working on a new type of return to make it easy for traders and businessmen to use the network. "By April 1 next year, a new type of return will be in place and it will be easy for the assesses will find it easy. Already we have released the tools for the new returns for the assesses to practice on," he said.

If you're gay and searching for a lasting relationship the dream partner and sometimes maybe one night stands, the perfect place for you might be a dating site that is completely free. You can look at entering their nick name, in case entering your friend name doesn't yield any beneficial results. This is exactly what many individuals do because it demonstrates that they considered the couple when intending their toast, rather than simply writing something. I myself have over 15 years Birmingham Escorts experience as a wedding videographer and I will assure you that I've seen every thing there was to see under the sun, and the only real way is to continue to keep a cool head.

A divorce is not the end of earth and you also may wish to figure out ways to move past the hurt and also receive.
In reality, usually the main one is among the finest excellent eyewitness accounts in the literature and that I will recount is chilling. These businesses would be the International Coach Federation, European Coaching Institute, and International Association of Coaching. Appreciate that likely these at first can be the primary prey of the distinctions. Today, bridal bouquets are tossed to assemble single women to symbolize new life and also to pass on the bride's fortune. If this decision is made by the pair before the preparation went too much they may be in a position to scrap their wedding plans without an excessive amount monetary loss and opt to get a civil service wedding and also utilize their wedding savings. For example car keys may become a 1 on the scale, then a mirror a 3 along with a eye lash curler a-5.

Q: General solution of $\dot x=(x^2+tx+t^2)/t^2$ Consider the scalar ODE
$$\dot x = \frac{x^2+tx+t^2}{t^2}$$
I am asked to give the "general solution" of this ODE. I understand that this is the set of all solutions to the ODE but how, exactly, do I give an answer?
Given $(t_0,x_0)\in(\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}\times\mathbb{R})$ I was able to show that, on some neighbourhood of $t_0$, $$x = t\tan\left(\ln(t/{t_0})-\arctan(y_0t_0)\right)$$ is the solution. Now am I right stating that $]t_0e^{c-\frac{\pi}{2}},t_0e^{c+\frac{\pi}{2}}[$ with $c=\arctan(y_0t_0)$ is the maximum existence interval and the solution is unique on this interval? Or, did I miss some details as $t$ must not be zero?
In the end, how do I give the general solution? Do I include the maximum existence interval for each $(t_0,x_0)$, or what am I meant to answer?

A: hint
Put $$x=u t $$
then
$$x'=u+u't $$
the equation becomes
$$u+u't=u^2+u+1$$
or
$$u't=u^2+1$$
$$\frac {u'}{1+u^2}=\frac {1}{t} $$
You can take it.

A: The general solution is:
$$x(t) = t \tan(\ln t + \ln c).$$
Using the initial condition $x(t_0)=x_0$ ($t\neq 0$), we obtain:
$$\ln c = \arctan\frac{x_0}{t_0}-\ln t_0 \implies x(t) = t \tan(\ln \frac{t}{t_0} + \arctan\frac{x_0}{t_0})$$
This is the general solution adapted to initial conditions. The solution clearly does not exist for all $t$.

Amanda Acosta-Ruiz: From NHI to the battle vs. coronavirus
Posted: April 1, 2020 at 12:58 pm / by nhimagazine / comments (2)
coronavirusnhi alumni
As a graduate student at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences in New York City, studying cell biology and neuroscience, Amanda Acosta-Ruiz started 2020 thinking about a few different things.
She was on her fourth year of research, moving toward the Ph.D. thesis she's working on. At the beginning of the year, she was one of 40 students nationwide accepted to the Yale Ciencia Academy, a year-long program that provides graduate students with opportunities for mentoring, career development, and science outreach. She was also thinking about the direction she wanted to go in her career upon graduation, be it research, academia, or science policy — which are all viable and enticing options to her.
But Acosta-Ruiz, a Puerto Rico native who just turned 27, had her life transformed by the coronavirus pandemic that's hit her new home city particularly hard. She's had to practice social distancing in her Upper East Side apartment, doing the school work she can, but separated from her lab, which is adjacent to one of the hospitals tending to patients battling COVID-19.
She may soon be reunited with her lab, though, in order to run the tests that New Yorkers need in order to get a handle on the developing crisis.
"The test that determines whether or not you have coronavirus replicating in your body is basically a biochemical reaction that is very frequently run by molecular biologists," she explains. "This is one of the moments where, you know, being able to run a certain biochemical reaction is actually really, really important for society. And we do it multiple times a week as part of our weekly activities in lab."
She is, along with a number of her friends in grad school, volunteering to be part of the efforts in running tests. Though she's not part of the first wave of volunteers selected to train this week, she could soon be called into action as the need for testing increases.
And she's been engaged, even before getting this opportunity to directly help, by working on the massive public education effort required to get people to embrace social distancing.
"One thing you can do on a smaller scale, is just making sure that people in your social circle are well informed and are having access to good information and avoiding the spread of misinformation." She's been working with the Federation of American Scientists on the Ask a Scientist website that matches people's questions about coronavirus to scientifically-backed information, in order to keep the flow of good information going. It's even being integrated into one of the most important places for good answers to go: Amazon's Alexa.
Acosta-Ruiz's journey, from Academia del Perpetuo Socorro in San Juan, to the University of Pennsylvania, to Cornell's medical school, was propelled by NHI. She made the trip to Rochester two years in a row, first as an LDZ student in 2010 and then as a junior counselor in 2011.
"It was a very welcoming, nurturing environment for someone like me," she recalls. "I'd never done public speaking done anything government-related or political, and felt very comfortable doing it there." She went from losing an election to participating as a Cabinet member, and laughs about the learn-as-you-go phenomenon of "all failing together to try to get through the first day."
It did leave a lasting impression on her, though, even though she chose a science track. Of her career options, becoming involved in science policy, and being able to help guide the government's response to scientific matters, is especially enticing to her. While the current pandemic hasn't changed that for her, it has made its importance vivid.

Love My Hairitage: What's Up With Biotin?
While perusing the shelves at your local drugstore or natural health foods shop, you've probably stumbled across a bottle labeled "Biotin." According to dermatologists, these B complex vitamins (also known as vitamin H) are important in metabolism, helping your body to process energy and transporting carbon dioxide from your body's cells.
Lofty claims that biotin can help grow healthier and stronger hair, skin and nails has sparked a generation of pill-popping women who desire these beauty benefits. But is biotin doing more harm than good to our bodies?
Biotin, also known as vitamin B-7, is an essential nutrient that can be found naturally in foods such as eggs, brewer's yeast, cauliflower and cucumber. Biotin supports carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism and it is not common to have a Biotin deficiency. Many of us consume plenty of Biotin in our diets naturally, but it has been shown that taking higher doses of Biotin in supplement form can greatly benefit the hair, skin and nails.
Biotin has been called 'hair food' and rightly so since one of the effects seen most often is an increased rate of growth in the hair when taking biotin supplements on a daily basis. How much Biotin is enough? Too much? The magic number seems to hover around 5000 mcg a day, with daily consumption being very important. Being inconsistent with taking biotin will definitely vary your results. It's also important to understand that hair growth will not happen overnight. You will most likely see results after about a month or so. Biotin has also been shown to increase nail and eyelash growth and can be a great treatment for people who are suffering from eczema.
Does Biotin Make all Hair on the Body Grow?
The question I wonder about most often is, "Will the rest of the hair on my body grow excessively too?". Thankfully, no. Unlike the hair on our head, the hair on our body is only programmed to grow to a certain length. This is what mercifully allows beautician's to avoid having to cut and style their client's arm hair!
The quest for beauty however, is not without cost. Anyone who is pregnant or trying to become pregnant should avoid taking biotin or consult their doctor before doing so. Biotin has also been shown to decrease the effectiveness of some heart and anti-seizure medications. Possible signs of biotin overdose include slower release of insulin, skin rashes, lower vitamin C and B6 levels, and high blood sugar levels.
Where Can You Find Biotin & What's the Correct Dosage?
Biotin can be found at most drug stores and almost all vitamin stores and just about every multivitamin supplement contains some form of biotin. Make sure to note how many mcg's of Biotin that you are buying. If you are looking to take 5000 mcg's a day, you don't want to buy a bottle of 500 mcg pills and have to take 10 pills! There are several brands out there that come in 1000 and 5000 mcg form. The general daily recommended daily dosage by dermatologists is 2.5 mg of biotin.
I've recently tried a popular hair vitamin that contained biotin. My results were positive, yet limited. Have you tried biotin or another specialty hair vitamin with great results? What's your take on biotin's benefits?
In the meantime, stay healthy.

When you have an allergy your body reacts when you come in contact with a particular allergen or trigger. In hay fever/rhinitis when one of these allergens is breathed in, there is an immune response in the lining of the nose. This causes the nasal passages to become swollen and inflamed.
Symptoms occurring mainly in spring and summer are usually triggered by pollen from grasses, weeds and trees. This is called seasonal rhinitis, and is commonly known as hay fever.
When problems occur all year, this is called perennial rhinitis, and they are usually triggered by house dust mite, animal dander or mould spores.
Hay fever is very common in Ireland and up to 80% of people who have asthma also have this condition.
If allergic rhinitis is treated effectively it could reduce asthma symptoms and may even help prevent the development of asthma.
If you have asthma hay fever can make your symptoms worse, so the most important step you can take ahead of the pollen season is to make sure your asthma is under control. If you don't already have an Asthma Action Plan to help you manage your asthma then get one today.
There is currently no cure for either hay fever or asthma, but in most cases symptoms can be controlled.
Some treatments require a prescription from a doctor but others can be purchased over the counter. Speak to your community pharmacist who can advise on the best non prescription treatment for you.
Start treatment early if you can. To help you to do this, identify when your symptoms start and what time of year is worst for you. This can help you determine what is triggering it, as different pollens and spores are active at different times of the year.

Governmental Affairs, Federal and Local November 2021
in SLAA News,
As the eviction moratorium ends, the fact that we are still very much, facing an affordable housing crisis is becoming even more apparent. The federal eviction moratoriums did nothing to address the underlying financial distress of renters and could have long-term implications for the stability of the housing industry. This coupled with the push back the labor force is feeling from decades of low and stagnant wages; it seems almost certain that significant changes are coming to the multifamily housing industry.
Congress is now being asked to make these issues a priority and it's the belief of some, that we need to strike while the iron is hot. The fact that our industry was the only one completely "held hostage", might give us leverage we need to push back.
Congressional Priorities:
Support credible and proven policies to address the housing affordability crisis while opposing approaches that undermine the effective operation and financial health of rental housing.
Revitalize Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers to enable greater participation by private housing providers and expand affordable options for low and moderate-income Americans.
Establish federal incentives for local governments to remove barriers to housing development and rehabilitation and support funding for unmet infrastructure needs that directly impact housing.
Reauthorize and reform the National Flood Insurance Program and support more effective coverage for the industry. Ensure attainable coverage options for other operational risks such as cyber, liability and pandemics.
Ensure federal fair housing policy protects nondiscrimination in housing while supporting housing providers' ability to develop, own and operate their properties and ensure safe and decent housing for residents.
Enact a federal data privacy, security and breach notification standard that pre-empts the patchwork of state laws that leave consumers vulnerable and impose burdensome compliance obligations.
Accelerate broadband deployment and bridge the digital divide by expanding current facilities-based partnership models that encourages digital infrastructure expansion and enables strong consumer access to connectivity.
Ensure the continued ability by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration to provide adequate capital financing to the apartment industry at all times and in all circumstances.
Preserve necessary resident screening tools and ensure that consumer reporting reforms do not make screening impracticable or hinder apartment providers from properly managing risk.
Maintain and expand tax policy that preserves and encourages investment in multifamily housing.
Restore federal immigration policy that ensures an adequate supply of skilled construction labor.
Pursue a national energy strategy that includes innovative and cost-effective strategies to improve building energy efficiency, increases community resiliency, provides incentives to assist in transition to revised standards and preserves housing affordability.
National Updates
The Biden administration announced on November 9 that FEMA will continue to cover the full costs of COVID-19 response activities eligible under FEMA's Public Assistance (PA) program through April 1, 2022. The 100% cost reimbursement includes costs associated with non-congregate sheltering for individuals experiencing homelessness.
