Hello! I am Melissa, although usually known as Meli.
Since 2010, I have been working in some capacity of user-system interaction and visual design work. Currently based in the Chicago region as a UX/UI Designer with interests in inclusive design and emerging technologies. I design for four different platforms (Desktop: Windows and MacOS | Native Mobile: iOS and Android).
Able to take ideas from concept to wireframe to prototype to final products. While visual design is my background, I care about the details and the interaction design of affordances to be crucial in creating intuitive and accessible interfaces. Lastly, my superpowers include unique lip-reading and interpreting body language.
Accessible Design, User Centered Design, Mobile/Desktop Apps, Wire-framing, Physical Prototyping, Usability Testing, User Interviews, Competitor Analysis, Personas, Design System + Libraries, Bohemian Sketch, Abstract, Invision Studio, Figma Axure, Proto.io, Lookback.io, Airtable.
*I have used many other products out in the market but I decided to narrow my skills to daily use. If there is something your design team uses but do not see it on my list, reach out to find out.
"Melissa is truly one of a kind that you don't come across often. She is an extremely talented designer with a great personality! Her colleagues love working with her that they speak highly of her and her design work. Whenever a team is little stuck in coming up with UI that just works - which is not easy! Melissa would offer some out-of-box ideas leading to a clever solution that everyone would be happy with. In a fast-paced and demanding environment, even for platforms which Melissa had never designed for like Android and Windows, she would just dive in, quickly adopt new tools, study design guidelines, wholeheartedly embrace feedback from colleagues and customers before returning with beautiful design work.
"Melissa and I worked together at Designation where she continually impressed me with her creativity and design skills. She brings great energy and positivity to teams that she works on, and is incredibly encouraging and supportive of her teammates. She helped me and other teammates become better designers by helping us understand how accessibility fits into our work, sharing both her personal experiences and other resources and information.
"Working with Melissa has been an exceptional experience since she is very professional and creative. Achieving progress in this project would not have been possible without the constant support of their ideas since it is not easy to work with graphics in windows projects (WinForms applications are very limited in terms of interface management). We have managed to reach a balance between a minimalist and very functional design, integrating in an extraordinary way the world of design and software development.
"It was my good fortune to get to know Melissa in a professional capacity during her Education Technology Fellowship as a Public Ally AmeriCorps Member. Melissa was placed at Chicago Public Schools (CPS) in which I leveraged her expertise in communications and graphic design for the benefit of the Early College and Career Education department (ECCE). As a team member within ECCE, I was charged with finding an effective means to support our communications efforts for our internal audience. Melissa was integral in guiding me through an internal communications analysis, ultimately leading to the creation of an effective intranet web site in support of the multitude of CPS constituencies that rely on ECCE.
Contact me for full-time or even Contract roles, or to simply talk shop about design.
If you are around the windy city, then give me a shout out (not literally since I can't hear) and we can grab coffee ( or tea if you like that). Let's get to work!
Thank you! I will contact you shortly. I look forward connecting with you!


Detailed investigations have been performed for assessing the importance of weld discontinuities in strain controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of 308 stainless steel (SS) welds. The LCF behavior of 308 SS welds containing defects was compared with that of type 304 SS base material and 308 SS sound weld metal. Weld pads were prepared by shielded metal arc welding process. Porosity and slag inclusions were introduced deliberately into the weld metal by grossly exaggerating the conditions normally causing such defects. Total axial strain controlled LCF tests have been conducted in air at 823 K on type 304 SS base and 308 SS sound weld metal employing strain amplitudes in the range from ±0.25 to ±0.8 percent. A single strain amplitude of ±0.25 percent was used for all the tests conducted on weld samples containing defects. The results indicated that the base material undergoes cyclic hardening whereas sound and defective welds experience cyclic softening. Base metal showed higher fatigue life than sound weld metal at all strain amplitudes. The presence of porosity and slag inclusions in the weld metal led to significant reduction in life. Porosity on the specimen surface has been found to be particularly harmful and caused a reduction in life by a factor of seven relative to sound weld metal. Defect combination of porosity and slag inclusions was found to be more deleterious than the case when either the slag inclusions or porosity was present alone. Discontinuties acted as crack initiation sites and also enhanced crack propagation. The LCF properties of weld samples containing discontinuities have been correlated with the damage and fracture behavior.

What I saw today: It was Lil Man's first time at a water park, and he wanted to do the water slide. I was cautious and said "Are you sure?". He said yes. I helped him to the top of the slide, then I waited for him at the bottom. He looked so small up there all by himself. At the top are sprinklers that you go through. I watched as he sucked in as the cold water hit him, then I saw his eyes big as saucers as he was moving so very fast down the slide. He has never slid that fast before. He quickly wound up on his back, and when he got to the bottom he was submerged completely under water. I was there to grab him, but not before he was sputtering and choking on water. Once he caught his breath, he wiped the water from his eyes and croaked out "Again". And that he did, over and over and over.
We moved over to another section where there were water guns. He patiently waited his turn as another boy was using it. Once he moved away, Lil Man timidly said "My turn?". I told him yes. After a few minutes of inspecting the water gun, a lady walked by. He blasted her full force in the eye. I watched as my son didn't discriminate against race, gender or age. He blasted everyone equally in the head, and squealed with them as they squealed. I think they were quite surprised that he was such a good shot.
We then moved on to the sprinklers that had timers. One went out. Lil Man leaned over and said "It come back?" I said. I don't know.. what do you think? He leaned over, his head just a few inches from the hole, as he watched. Then it came on. Sputtering he said "Yep, it came back".
And my heart swelled as all day he grabbed my hand and said "Do it with me Momma", cause I know there will come a day, far too soon for me, when that will change. But today, we ran through the sprinklers hand in hand.

When choosing a car for a teenage driver, you have got to keep safety in mind. Sure, we would all love to go out and buy a $500 clunker for our teens to drive, but will that car keep our teens safe as they learn to master the many skills of driving? I created this blog to help other parents identify cars that will keep their teens as safe as possible while driving out on their own. I have studied and researched to find all of the safety features that will provide optimum safety for our teens during their early days of driving and beyond.


Today we're continuing our cocktail glossary series with a look at some of the terms used in distillation, focusing on a set of basic terms used to describe the act of distillation and the two types of stills used to make virtually ever spirit available on the market. Not certain what the difference is between a pot still and a column still? We'll get you sorted out.
Distillation is the process of separating a liquid or vapor mixture into its component parts, through vaporization and condensation. You can also think of distillation as a process of purifying a liquid.
Start with a fermented alcohol product: beer (or, more accurately, wash) or wine, usually.
Heat the liquid. Alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water, so it will turn to steam before the water does, and rise up in the still.
Collect the vapors of alcohol.
Chill them, so they turn back into liquid.
Collect the alcohol from the still.
Of course, the daily practice of distillation is more complicated than that, especially when it's done by professionals working with complex equipment. But as I describe each type of distillation in detail, I'll fill in some of the blanks the above steps leave out.
A device used for the distillation of alcohol.
A pot still is a type of still used for distilling certain types of alcohol—notably, single-malt Scotch, Cognac, mezcal, and funky rums. To simplify, the general process is this: the wash (for whiskey) or wine (for brandy) is heated in the pot. Vapors containing alcohol and some of the water rise up to the head, a cap on the top of the pot that captures the rising steam; the steam is drawn off into a tube called an arm. From the arm, the vapors travel to a coil, or "worm", immersed in a tub of cold water. The water chills and condenses the vapors back into liquid, in this case mostly of alcohol. The alcohol is removed through a spout attached to the end of the worm; from here, the alcohol usually flows directly to a second still for another distillation, but in some cases, it's taken from the still immediately and aged in barrels.
Pot stills can be as small as a countertop appliance, or large enough to hold thousands of gallons of wash or wine.
Making booze using a pot is called batch distillation, because only one batch of distillate can be made at a time, and the still needs to be taken off-line and cleaned between batches.
A column still doesn't work by directly heating the wash, as a pot still does. The wash enters the still through an injection point on the side of the column. Hot steam rises up from the bottom and intersects the wash streaming down from the injection point. As the wash hits the hot water vapor, the steam strips the ethanol from the wash and they rise up the column together.
The still is filled with a series of plates or other packing materials that separate the still into chambers. Each chamber functions as a miniature version of a pot still. So as the mix of ethanol and steam rises into a new chamber, it undergoes continuous stages of distillation, and each time the mixture rises up into the next chamber, it contains a higher concentration of ethanol. After it reaches the top of the still, it's drawn off and condensed.
A column still can produce a much purer distillate than a pot can. Pots can achieve up to 50% alcohol by volume or so; a column can reach 95%. For this reason, and because column stills can run indefinitely, without needing to be cleaned, they're far more efficient at making spirits. However, the spirits they make tend to lack the character of those distilled in pot stills.
We're not talking about flipping coins here. These are terms of art for various stages of the distillate as it comes off the still. Note that these terms apply mainly to distillate made in pot stills. Operators of column stills usually use fractionalization to remove unwanted elements from booze.
The foreshots, as you might guess, are the first parts of the distillate. They're high in such poisonous stuff as methanol and acetone, plus esters and aldehydes that make for untasty hooch. These are discarded.
Heads are the next parts of the distillate, and can be kept or discarded, depending on the distiller. They're high in ethanol, but also in the congeners that give a spirit flavor, aroma, and character.
The middle run, or hearts, consist of all the distillate you keep and (sometimes) age before bottling. The balance of alcohol and congeners is pretty much in keeping with how booze should taste.
Tails are the last bits out of the still. They're low in ethanol and high in congeners, and although they're not harmful, they don't taste like anything you'd want to drink.

Your eyes begin to open after a good night of sleep, but something feels weird. You try to rub the tiredness out of your face but can't lift your arms. In a panic you try to take a deep breath but can't draw air. You can't sit up, and you may even see a shadow in the corner of the room. This isn't a nightmare or a medical emergency—you likely just had a case of sleep paralysis.
Sleep paralysis is an episode where your brain tells the body that you're still in the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep in which the limbs are temporarily paralyzed (to prevent physically acting out dreams), heart rate and blood pressure rise, and breathing becomes more irregular and shallow. This is the stage of sleep where your most vivid dreams occur, which can explain why some people may hallucinate during sleep paralysis.
"Sleep paralysis is a frightening event," said Steven Bender, DDS, director of the Center for Facial Pain and Sleep Medicine and clinical assistant professor with the Texas A&M College of Dentistry. "Someone is awake, but they have no control of their body and might possibly even see things that aren't there because their brain still thinks it's in REM sleep."
Sleep paralysis differs from dreaming and night terrors mainly due to the fact that the brain is awake, even if it hasn't told the body just yet.
"When people have a nightmare, they sleep, have a dream and then wake up," Bender said. "When they're experiencing sleep paralysis, they may have a dream when they are already awake."
What can occur during sleep paralysis?
"People who experience sleep paralysis can have vivid hallucinations because they are dreaming," Bender said. "People have felt like they're levitating or that someone is in their bedroom or a variety of other strange experiences—like alien abductions."
Who is at risk for sleep paralysis?
This phenomenon may happen more often than you'd think, as seven to eight percent of the population may experience sleep paralysis. It is more frequent in African-Americans, young adults and females. Those who have bad sleep habits, such as napping during the day or being on their phone or laptop in bed, can potentially increase their risk for sleep paralysis.
Will this be a regular occurrence?
The diagnosis for sleep paralysis is fairly simple and is not typically a reoccurring problem for those who aren't diagnosed with conditions affecting sleep. The main way to avoid the phenomenon is to improve sleep hygiene. These good sleep habits include sleeping and waking at regular times, avoiding watching television or playing on a laptop or cell phone in bed, avoiding naps during the day and avoiding stimulants close to bed time. Although it is a strange and frightening experience, it's not something that should be a cause for concern.
"Sleep paralysis isn't dangerous or harmful," Bender said. "If it becomes a regular problem, then consult your primary health care provider, and they can help you manage it."
What predicts distress after episodes of sleep paralysis?

Throughout history, many artists have acknowledged God's sovereignty and position as the ultimate Creator depicting in their work the accounts and truths which God has given to his people through the Bible. Virtually every biblical account has been visually portrayed at least once and usually many times throughout history and across cultures. In museums, galleries, churches, cathedrals, and homes around the world, such works of art are helping people gain a deeper understanding of the Scriptures.
He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three hundred shekels of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. There were six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat; one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two ends. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

2 Chronicles 2:14 ESV The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre. He is trained to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, and in purple, blue, and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and to do all sorts of engraving and execute any design that may be assigned him, with your craftsmen, the craftsmen of my lord, David your father.
A good piece of biblical art can help us see the truth of a passage as well as give us "fresh eyes" for familiar passages. The artist becomes our companion who points out details of a passage that we might have passed over in haste. Biblical art from other cultures or time periods can be especially help us gain a fuller understanding of a passage that we are used to seeing through our own "cultural lenses." Scripture engagement through art assists in our spiritual development by letting us share in the wealth of insights God has already given to others. Christian Canvas Art
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood, the lintel and five-sided doorposts. So he made two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.

This verse is a reminder for me that all I need is Christ. When I feel helpless or weak, I don't primarily need a practical solution or answer. I need God's grace. God's grace is sufficient. It is all I need. His strength shines brightly when I am weak and depending on Him. I don't need my life to be in perfect order or all to be going well in the world around me. All I need is Christ.

The house that I am to build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods. But who is able to build him a house, since heaven, even highest heaven, cannot contain him?

"Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded." And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, and said to Moses, "The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do." ...

Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them, "These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do. Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. You shall kindle no fire in all your dwelling places on the Sabbath day." Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, "This is the thing that the Lord has commanded.

Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; their clothing is violet and purple; they are all the work of skilled men. But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation. Thus shall you say to them: "The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens."
Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. ...

In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him. Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. And the king said to them, "I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream." Then the Chaldeans said to the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation." The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "The word from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be torn limb from limb, and your houses shall be laid in ruins. ...

He also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital on the top of each was five cubits.

He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three hundred shekels of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. There were six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom.

It's a game that the current champions – Liverpool – won 3-1 last season, so a repeat of that score might tempt you in at around 12.00, but don't forget the current bragging rights sit with Arsenal, who after a 1-1 draw, beat Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield recently.
The match betting suggests and easy three points for Liverpool, with The Reds on offer at 1.45, the draw 4.75 and Arsenal 6.50, but with 4 draws in the last 7 head-to-heads then this stat can't be overlooked.
Having said that, Liverpool are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 against the Gunners and haven't lost to Arsenal in the last seven repeat fixtures.
The last seven repeat fixtures also saw OVER 2.5 GOALS, while 13 of the last 16 (81%) overall head-to-heads also had 3+ goals scored. With that in mind, the 1.53 on OVER 2.5 GOALS looks a solid option, albeit at a short price.
It could also pay to note that 8 of the last 12 games between these two sides actually went OVER 3.5 GOALS, so you might want to chance this at a slightly better 2.30.
But, at a slightly better 1.66 than the over 2.5 goals odds, the BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE market could be the way to play this one though. This bet has paid out in 14 of the last 16 clashes (88%), while with both sides having plenty of firepower up front then this further adds to confidence.
In terms of the scoring markets, Liverpool's Salah and Mane will, of course, be popular, but it's Firmino that's loved playing against Arsenal – the Liverpool man has netted 8 times in the last 11 head-to-heads. He's on offer at 6.00 (1st) or 2.30 (anytime).
The main Arsenal men in the scoring markets are Aubameyang at 6.50 (1st) or 2.40 (anytime) and Lacazette at a slightly bigger 8.00 (1st) or 2.87 (anytime).
BEST BET: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE @1.66

The Tie That Holds Your Beer may appear to be a gag item that doesn't work, but it does! Holds beer bottles and cans securely and is comfortable to wear.
The tie is made from waterproof neoprene so your beer stays cold and your shirt stays dry. The pouch holds your beer or drink securely so that you can use your hands for other tasks. There are two modes so that the tie is able to hold either a bottle or a can. The velcro neck strap is secure and comfortable and a key chain loop that holds your bottle opener is included.
* Holds Bottles or Cans Securely.
What else could you want from a beer holding tie? I'm assuming that your beer will spill if you plan on doin headstands or skydiving, so activities such as these are probably best avoided while you are wearing your Beer Holding Tie.

Hiding in the Sunshine: The Search for Other Earths
By NASA | April 29, 2016
We humans might not be the only ones to ponder our place in the universe. If intelligent aliens do roam the cosmos, they too might ask a question that has gripped humans for centuries: Are we alone? These aliens might even have giant space telescopes dedicated to studying distant planets and searching for life. Should one of those telescopes capture an image of our blue marble of a planet, evidence of forests and plentiful creatures would jump out as simple chemicals: oxygen, ozone, water and methane.
Many earthlings at NASA are hoping to capture similar chemical clues for Earth-like planets beyond our solar system, also known as exo-Earths, where "exo" is Greek for "external." Researchers are developing new technologies with the goal of building space missions that can capture not only images of these exo-Earths, but also detailed chemical portraits called spectra. Spectra separate light into its component colors in order to reveal secrets of planets' atmospheres, climates and potential habitability.
"Evidence for life is not going to look like little green people — it's going to reveal itself in a spectrum," said Nick Siegler, the chief technologist for NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Office at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The program is helping to develop NASA's plans for future exo-Earth imaging missions.
Be gone starlight
On the road to this goal, NASA is actively developing coronagraph technology in various laboratories, including JPL. Coronagraphs are instruments introduced in the early 20th century to study our sun. They use special masks to block out light from the circular disk of the sun, so that scientists can study its outer atmosphere, or corona.
Now NASA is developing more sophisticated coronagraphs to block the glaring light of other stars and reveal faint planets that might be orbiting them. Stars far outshine their planets; for example, our sun is 10 billion times brighter than Earth. That's similar to the flood of football stadium lights next to a tiny candle.
"The search for Earth-like planets begins with the suppression of starlight," said Rhonda Morgan of JPL, a coronagraph technologist for the Exoplanet Exploration Program Office. "It's like blocking the sun with a sun visor while driving in order to see the road."
Telescopes on the ground have already used coronagraphs to take pictures of planets, but those planets are easier to photograph because they are large, bright, and orbit far from their host stars. To take a picture of Earth-size planets lying in the habitable zone of sun-like stars — the region where temperatures are just right for possible liquid oceans and lakes — will require a telescope in space. Out in space, the blurring effects of our blustery atmosphere can be avoided.
Several types of coronagraphs are under development for proposed space missions. One mission, led by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, is known as WFIRST. WFIRST stands for Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope. The WFIRST mission would be able to identify chemicals in the atmospheres of exoplanets as small as super-Earths, which are like Earth's bigger cousins, such as Kepler-452b, a recent discovery by NASA's Kepler mission. This would pave the way for future studies of the smaller exo-Earths. The WFIRST mission would also investigate other cosmic mysteries such as dark matter and dark energy.
Tinkering with tiny masks
Engineers and scientists at JPL are busily tinkering with different coronagraph technologies for WFIRST. Ilya Poberezhskiy, who manages the testbeds at JPL, explained two primary coronagraph designs while holding in his hand the tiny, starlight-blocking masks. One of them, the "shaped pupil" mask, is a few centimeters across, while the "hybrid Lyot" mask is a pinprick of a dot, barely visible at only one-tenth of a millimeter in size. Both technologies will fly together on the WFIRST mission as a part of one instrument — the occulting mask coronagraph.
"A wheel-like mechanism will rotate to switch different masks inside the instrument and convert the coronagraph from one mode to another," said Poberezhskiy.
The main challenge for coronagraphs is controlling starlight, which has a tendency to stray. Just putting a circular mask in front of the star doesn't obstruct the light completely; starlight bends around the mask like ocean waves curving around islands in a process called diffraction. Each coronagraph type deals with this challenge differently by using multiple masks as well as mirrors that can deform to sequentially suppress starlight in various stages.
"The starlight likes to walk all over the place, and into the area where you want to image the planet," said Wes Traub, the JPL project scientist for WFIRST. "The goal now is to get more practical with the kind of telescope we will use for WFIRST."
How to handle jitter
Another challenge in designing coronagraphs is adjusting for a space telescope's tiny vibrations, or jitter. The team at JPL is assessing how their coronagraphs handle jitter by simulating the effects in a vacuum chamber. They built a table-top-size telescope simulator for the tests.
"In space, telescopes experience warping and vibrations that need to be measured and reduced inside the coronagraph," said Poberezhskiy. "Our mock telescope will let us test the WFIRST coronagraph under realistic, space-like conditions."
As WFIRST development moves forward, mission planners are already thinking about a possible next step: a space telescope designed to image true Earth analogs. Such a mission may be more than a decade away, but development of the nuts and bolts of the technology is underway at a feverish pace.
"It's an exciting time for exoplanet research," said Gary Blackwood, manager of the Exoplanet Exploration Program. "This is history in the making."
The hybrid Lyot coronagraph design team is led by John Trauger of JPL. The shaped pupil coronagraph is pioneered by Jeremy Kasdin of Princeton University, New Jersey. A third technology, called a phase-induced amplitude apodization complex mask coronagraph, is being developed by Olivier Guyon of the University of Arizona, Tucson; Brian Kern of JPL' and Ruslan Belikov and Eduardo Bendek of NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California.
WFIRST is managed at NASA's Goddard, with participation by JPL, the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, also in Pasadena, and a science team comprised of members from U.S. research institutions across the country.

IN NOVEMBER 1944, arrangements were made with the surgeons of the First and Ninth United States Armies to send patients with blast injury to a designated general hospital specializing in neuropsychiatry in the Advance Section, Communications Zone, European Theater of Operations. It was hoped that a concentration of this clinical material might lead to a better understanding of the problem of blast injury. As a consequence, all patients with conditions diagnosed as blast injury, concussion, concussion neurosis, and the like, anywhere in forward echelons, as well as those with disturbances thought to warrant such a diagnosis by the admission section of this hospital, were examined.
Approximately 130 such patients were seen in November and December 1944, but clinical data on these cases were lost during the Battle of the Belgian Bulge, when the hospital had to be abandoned because of enemy action. Operations were resumed in January 1945, and this

Interviews with Daniel Pipes
Jewish Control – Between Reality and Myth
Al-Mushahid as-Siyasi (London)
https://www.danielpipes.org/1011/jewish-control-between-reality-and-myth
Translations of this item:
["As-Saytara al-Yahudiya ma bayn al-Haqiqa wa'l-Khiyyal" – contribution to a symposium in an Arabic-language magazine]
Al-Mushahid as-Siyasi's logo.
(1) It is said that the Jewish control of America is so tight. Is that reality or myth?
The notion of Jewish control of the United States is utter nonsense. Jews are a capable people who have, through hard-work, gained a disproportionate role in some aspects of American life. But they in no way dominate the country. Further, they could not, for Jews differ greatly among themselves; the notion of a single Jewish viewpoint organized by a single Jewish group is pure fantasy. On any topic—from education to foreign policy—they disagree vociferously and intensely among themselves.
(2) The Arab press talks about Jewish control of money, media and politics in America. Is this an undisputed fact?
No, there is no Jewish control of the media and politics in the United States. Jews do have a larger role than their 2 percent of the population might suggest, but it is far from monolithic or organized. Jews compete with each other as much or more than they cooperate—whether for business or for votes.
(3) Has the political Jewish control originated from the active role in elections as a well organised minority?
For starters, there is no "political Jewish control." For evident historical reasons, Jews have an intense interest in politics. They have had a tumultuous and sometimes terrible history: to protect themselves from future disasters, Jews in the United States and elsewhere tend to pay close attention to politics. They vote in larger percentages than almost any other element of the population. They give money to political candidates in larger amounts. They write and speak more about politics. None of this amounts to Jewish "control" of politics in the United States, but it does help explain the prominent place of Jews in American public life.
(4) What about religious and cultural alliances of American Jews with the rest of America?
In the entire history of the Jews, they have never lived in a country as securely and as successfully as in the United States today. It is a golden age. The secularism of the United States offers Jews the opportunity to purse their religion without any interference from the state. The openness of the country allows them the chance to flourish economically and express themselves intellectually. Its democratic nature permits Jews to integrate into public life. In all, Jews have become a full-fledged part of American life. They have both influenced the country and been influenced by it. In this sense, Jews cannot be distinguished from other Americans, even if they retain a distinctive set of characteristics.
(5) If there were such control, how can America liberate itself from it?
The notion of America liberating itself from Jews is absurd. Jews are full citizens of the United States with political, economic and personal rights and responsibilities precisely like any other citizens. This may be difficult for Arabs to comprehend, for the premises of American life are utterly different from those in the Middle East; as a result, Arabs in many cases simply do not understand how things work in the United States. It is key not to assume that the United States resembles Arab countries; I urge your readers not to see the United States in terms of their own experience. It takes much information and imagination to understand how this truly revolutionary country functions. Do not presume: learn. Do not project from what you know but take the time to find out how things work there. Only by such a process of investigating will Arabs come to comprehend the United States in general and specifically the role of Jews within it.

Siemens progresses gas power projects in Africa
Siemens Energy has won a contract for its gas turbine technology in Algeria while completing another such project in Nigeria.
The company will provide six F-class gas turbines for the Ras Djinet and Ain Arnat 2000 MW combined cycle power plants (CCPP) in Algeria for Daewoo E&C Co., Ltd and Hyundai Engineering Co. Ltd.
The Korean companies are building the two power plants for Sociéte Algérienne de Production de l'Electricité (SPE), the state-run energy provider in Algeria.
The power generated will supply two million homes along Algeria's Mediterranean Coast.
The delivery from Siemens includes a total of six SGT5-4000F gas turbines, six SST5-3000 steam turbines, and six SGen5-2000H generators.
Meanwhile the company has also completed the 434 MW Geregu II gas turbine power plant in Nigeria for State-run Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC).
Siemens supplied three E-class gas turbines as well as the associated generators.
Following the Afam V and Geregu I plants, Geregu II is now the third gas-turbine power plant to be constructed by Siemens in Nigeria as a turnkey project and completed on schedule.
The scope of delivery supplied by Siemens for Geregu II included three SGT5-2000E gas turbines, three SGen5-100A generators, as well as all the electrical systems and the SPPA-T3000 control system.
By 2020, Nigeria plans to increase the country's generation capacity by five to eightfold from its current level of approximately 5 GW.

Former Turkey soccer star is now a taxi driver in the US
This footballer's girlfriend was naked and threatened with weapons in house robbery
November 27, 2019 November 28, 2019 Ashvini
Sports Desk – England's famous footballer Demarai Gray is named among the best midfielders in the football world. However, last year, the footballer's partner, Emma Hickman, had fallen victim to an accident. The police arrested four people in this case.
Hearing what Ema Hickman told during the court hearing on Monday i.e. 25 November 2019, the ground of the footballer's fans can be slipped. In fact, Emma Hickman was attacked by some dacoits. The incident occurred in March last year with girlfriend Leah City and England under-21 team midfielder Emma Hickman, who was lying in bed with her six-week-old baby at home during the day.
The 22-year-old said she was 'absolutely petrified' as she gave evidence at Birmingham Crown Court. Balaclava-wearing robbers burst into the house in Barnt Green, West Midlands, The Sun reports. They made off with £24,000 in money and jewellery after the raid in March last year.
He told, "I was sleeping when some people entered my bedroom. I had no idea until I saw a man with a knife. I had no clothes on and I stayed under the covers.". The most chilling part of the story, however, is that all men were armed. "One of them had an orange machete, which looked like a sword", narrated the footballer's girlfriend.
Hickman, who says it was "completely petrified" at the time, he was able to obey the orders of the criminals despite the shock: "They told me not to move and asked me 'where were the money and the jewels.'" The thieves also took a Rolex watch that they saw on the nightstand, waiting for the woman that her boyfriend "could buy her another."
Police told the court that the four criminals have been arrested. Police claim that all four are members of a large gang. They target big houses and shops.

Los zafimaniry son un pueblo de Madagascar que ocupan la parte sur de las tierras centrales de la isla. Algunos los consideran como un subgrupo de los betsileos. Se establecieron en el siglo XVIII en las montañas boscosas y retrocedieron al sureste del país para huir de la deforestación. Actualmente, alrededor de unos 25.000 zafimaniry viven en un centenar de pueblos y aldeas dispersas en las montañas de la región.

Artesanía de la madera

Los zafimaniry son madereros, carpinteros y artesanos desde generaciones. Han creado en torno al trabajo de la madera todo un conjunto de técnicas y conocimientos. Para su artesanía utilizan 20 especies locales de árboles diferentes, adaptados cada uno de ellos a un tipo de construcción o a una función decorativa específica. Prácticamente todas las superficies están revestidas de madera (muros, ventanas, vigas, baúles, taburetes, herramientas, etc.) y están ricamente labradas. Las casas y las tumbas se encajan según la técnica tradicional de la muesca y la espiga, sin servirse de clavos, bisagras u otras piezas metálicas. Los graneros tradicionales, colocados sobre pilares redondos, constituyen una particularidad distintiva del paisaje de montaña de la región.

Los motivos geométricos que decoran las mayoría de objetos de madera no solo reflejan los orígenes austronesios de la comunidad sino que también las influencias árabes de la cultura malgache e, incluso, la herencia de los misioneros escandinavos. Aunque existe un número limitado de motivos decorativos, no existen dos piezas iguales debido a la creatividad de los artesanos. Estos motivos son la expresión de las creencias y valores de los zafimaniry. Por ejemplo, la tanamparoratra (tela de araña) simboliza los lazos familiares mientras que el papintantely (panal de colmena) representa la vida comunitaria. Los motivos también indican la posición social del individuo en su grupo.

La Unesco proclamó el trabajo de la madera de los zafimaniry en 2003 como Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad, inscribiéndolo en 2008 en la Lista Representativa.

Turismo y conservación
A pesar de que las aldeas de los zafimaniry son solo accesibles a pie, numerosos turistas las visitan. Aunque desde hace décadas venden estatuillas y objetos decorativos o de uso cotidiano en las ciudades del entorno para asegurar su sustento, el desarrollo turístico podría alterar las tradiciones del pueblo transformando a los aldeanos en simples fabricantes de objetos de artesanía para el turismo.

Otro factor que pone en peligro la tradición de la artesanía de la madera, que también supone su principal fuente de ingresos, es la grave deforestación. Por ejemplo, ciertas aldeas que anteriormente estuvieron rodeadas de bosque están ahora a más de un día de camino de la masa forestal más cercana.

Be More Bernard
Written by Simon Philip
Illustrated by Kate Hindley
Be More Bernard Synopsis
Perfect for fans of Jim Field and Julia Donaldson, Be More Bernard is the brilliant story of a disco bunny who will encourage us all to chase our dreams and embrace our differences. When the other bunnies bounced, I bounced. When they hopped, I hopped. When they slept, I did too. Like them, I dreamed. But MY dreams weren't the same. They were less . . . rabbity. Bernard has decided that he's not going to be like all the other bunnies any more. He's not going to twitch his nose and prick his ears. And while others might dream of carrots, Bernard's dreams are altogether more...disco! He starts small, but when he finally gets to groove with grace and jive with joy at Bertie and Brenda's Bunny Ball, Bernard shows the world that being yourself is the very best thing a bunny can be.

Jun. 3, 2020 COVID-19 Information
New York State WARN Act Update
Due to the ongoing impact of the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, employers are considering implementing further layoffs or closures and issuing notices to affected employees in accordance with New York's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("NY WARN Act"). The purpose of this memorandum is to remind and inform employers of several WARN-related issues:
i) Employers that have not yet implemented closures or layoffs may still be able to avail themselves of NY WARN's unforeseeable business circumstances exception;
ii) Employers that have already implemented layoffs but have not yet sent WARN Act notices may now be obligated to do so; and
iii) New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has extended his Executive Order relaxing NY WARN Act notice requirements for employers that must implement a second round of layoffs after use of federal Paycheck Protection Plan ("PPP") funds.
Unforeseeable Business Circumstances Exception to the 90-Day Notice Requirement
The WARN Act obligates New York employers with 50 or more employees to provide 90 calendar days' advance notice of any plant closing or mass layoff. Under the law a "plant closing" occurs when a permanent or temporary shutdown, including department closures, result in the loss of employment for 25 or more full-time employees during a 30-day period. A "mass layoff" occurs when a reduction in force, not resulting from a closure, results in the loss of employment of more than six months for either at least 25 full-time employees who represent at least 33% of all employees (excluding part-time employees) at the workplace or at least 250 full-time employees. Thus, the issuance of WARN Act notices would be required upon the occurrence of either 1) a permanent or temporary closure of the business or a department or 2) a layoff if the required number of employees are affected.
As previously reported in our memorandum dated March 12, 2020, the WARN Act provides an "unforeseeable business circumstances" exception to the 90-day notice requirement. An unforeseeable business circumstance is established by the occurrence of some sudden, dramatic and unexpected action or conduct outside the employer's control. It is our opinion that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic meet the circumstances for this exception. The exception does not eliminate the requirement to send out WARN notices. Rather, it renders a shortened notice period sufficient.
WARN Act notices relying on this exception must include a statement of the reason for reducing the notice period and a factual explanation of the basis for claiming entitlement to such reduced notice period. In current circumstances, the employer would point to COVID-19 and its effects as an unforeseeable business circumstance. If applicable, employers should explain the recent need to reassess the potential length of layoffs and/or reopening given the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects. Employers should advise if they were unable to provide earlier WARN Act notice because the duration was not reasonably foreseeable at the time the layoffs commenced. Remember that an employer bears the burden of proof to show that the requirements for this exception have been met and still must provide as much notice as possible. The information in the WARN Act notice must be based on the best information available to the employer at the time the notice is served.
Extension of a Mass Layoff Period
Employers that have implemented layoffs of the requisite number of employees to constitute a mass layoff under the WARN Act but did not send notices of such layoffs due to the belief that the layoffs would not extend beyond six months must send WARN Act notices now if it is reasonably foreseeable that the layoffs will extend past six months. The WARN Act allows employers to send the requisite notices to affected employees after, rather than before, the occurrence of the layoffs, but only if the layoffs are extended due to business circumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable at the time of the layoff. Therefore, as outlined above, employers must set forth in the WARN Act notices an explanation regarding the unforeseeable business circumstances that now require layoffs to extend past six months.
WARN Notices and Paycheck Protection Plan
As previously reported in our Memorandum of May 1, 2020, on April 17 2020, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed Executive Order No. 202.19, which eases the notification requirements under New York's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (NY WARN). Under NY WARN, employers generally must provide employees, government officials and unions with 90 days' advance written notice prior to conducting mass layoffs. The executive order relaxes those requirements for employers that previously laid off employees and then rehired them after receiving federal PPP funding.
Governor Cuomo has extended this Executive Order through June 7, 2020. If an employer must lay off employees for a second time after receiving PPP funding, the employer may provide less than the full 90 days' notice required by NY WARN. Businesses must still provide WARN notice "as soon as practicable but not necessarily within ninety days." In order to take advantage of this exception, employers must also have complied with NY WARN prior to their initial layoffs. This executive order does not relieve employers of the obligation to provide WARN notices for the second time, but shortens the notice period.
More information regarding the New York WARN Act may be found on the NYS WARN portal. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact David R. Rothfeld, Lois M. Traub, Alexander Soric, Jennifer Schmalz, Robert L. Sacks, Jaclyn Ruocco, Joseph Tangredi, or Brian Polivy.

Cops use stun gun twice on unarmed Merced County amputee
September 22, 2009 -A Merced, California man whose legs are amputated says police used a stun gun on him twice and violently manhandled him even though he was unarmed.
Two uniformed officers were responding to a reported domestic disturbance at the residence of Gregory Williams, a double amputee who lost his legs to a condition that led to gangrene.
He and his wife had apparently been arguing, and when officers arrived they were both out in front of their apartment. Williams, who had his two-year-old daughter on his lap, was told to go back inside, and reportedly complied with their request. After speaking to his wife, an officer and a Child Protective Services worker approached him, and demanded that he surrender the child.
That's when things began to get a bit of control. Williams claims that the worker took his daughter from his lap, to which he replied: "'What are you doing? I haven't done anything!" He also says that the only resisting he might have done was to hold onto his wheelchair so that he wouldn't fall to the ground.
After that Williams claims he was tasered twice at close range, causing him to fall from his wheelchair just outside of his home. In the process, he says his pants fell down, exposing his genitals. Williams says he heard his collarbone cracking as they wrestled him out of his chair. He was handcuffed and left lying on the ground for several minutes in front of a crowd of angry witnesses, who the officers described as "hostile."
Williams then spent almost a week behind bars, but no charges have been filed. The police department's internal affairs investigators are now looking into the incident.
After leaving jail, Williams asked reporters: "How much resisting am I gonna do with no legs, no feet? How much resisting am I gonna do?"
His brother-in-law said "The hardest part was just watching it, and waiting for a badge number when the whole thing was done."
The police department has declined further comment, pending the internal investigation.
