This is how you keep those hounds at bay!
The swamplands have mosquitoes big enough to mate with a bulldog and Dr. Burkenstock knows that no ordinary bug spray will keep those "hounds at bay." So his repellent was formulated to keep them from making a meal out of you and yours. It also works on flies and chiggers and gnats and those beach-side renegade "no see ums." While it's mighty powerful at keeping the bugs away, it's still gentle enough to use on the smaller members of your clan because it's DEET-free. Water and sweat resistant, That Bug Stuff is essential gear for anyone who enjoys time in the great outdoors.

MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING POLICY STATEMENT
Wavetrain Systems AS is committed to driving out acts of modern-day slavery and human trafficking within its business and that from within its supply chains, our suppliers including sub-contractors.
Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. Wavetrain Systems AS has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.
Wavetrain Systems AS acknowledges responsibility to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will ensure transparency within the organisation and with our supply chain partners [suppliers of goods and services to the organisation]. The requirement to publish a slavery and human trafficking statement for each financial year of the organisation will be undertaken when the Wavetrain Systems AS meets the threshold required. As part of the company's due diligence processes into slavery and human trafficking, the supplier approval process will incorporate a review of the controls undertaken by the supplier. Imported goods from sources from outside the EU are potentially more at risk for slavery/human trafficking issues. The level of management control required for these sources will be continually monitored.
The company will not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in slavery or human trafficking. The company Board of Directors and Management team shall take responsibility for implementing this policy statement and its objectives and shall provide adequate resources (training, etc.) and investment to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place within the organisation and within its supply chains.
A full copy of this policy and a copy of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 will be accessible to all workers electronically and can be obtained from the HR department upon request. This Policy underlines our commitment and supports the policies, procedures and requirements documented in our Management Systems, which are compliant with international standards.

I've spent many nights lurking around here learning as much as I could. Now I've got something to show for it!
Just posted my new webseries "The Unemployment Of Danny London."
[www.dannylondon.com]
Love to hear what you think.

Re: New Webseries
The parked scene:
the drive is waaayyy too long.
the split screen it too static considering the level of acting.
Get rid of some of the space between the monolog.
Use 2+ camera angles for every seen. When she is in the tub talking there could have been a shot of her at full screen with some say candles or a glass of wine. If you only had one cam a slow dolly or track roll could have been used to give the seen some movement.
The radio in the van or suv should have been on a a extremely low level or the window on the passenger side down to give some situational atmosphere.
If your actors are not strong then they can not command the frame so they need help with camera shifts and different zoom levels.
Having a friend drive back and forth on the same street bright lighting the suv would have improved the placement of that scene.
The scene is way to long with the same angles to hold interest.
IN THE KITCHEN:
There is no steam coming from the pot. That could be added with AE or Motion.
When the cook turns to talk she should have tapped the spoon on the pot and turned to speak with the spoon in hand but not in the pot.
The Asian lady that walks in her scene is relatively good.
License plate scene is good. The back up to see who that was is good but the relevance is not established. But otherwise too much time spent getting into the house and watching a car.
ALL of the scenes are too quiet. Not enough ambient noise. You could cut out about 1m - 2.5m out of the entire movie and it would be better.
BUT THAT DOESN'T Mean I am correct. It just the way i would do it.

The drive in the beginning is a bit long. Given that it's the beginning of the show, you have some space for making us wonder, but you can probably achieve that same goal by cutting a few seconds out of that shot. I'm not usually an advocate for putting music all over scenes, but music would help there.
You are forcing your scene to be slow by insisting on the split-screen during the phone conversation. You probably designed it like that, but it's hurting your rhythm. Remember that this is a webisode; people's attention spans are considerably shorter. It also hurts the acting. I think the woman is fine, but the guy isn't completely believable, and you're making us watch all the beats he's trying to insert. Some of them aren't that great.
I would do a new cut by cross-cutting between the two angles. That way you can overlap dialogue, punctuate beats (cut some short, extend others for effect), use more than one take. Then figure out whether you can slip in the split-screen at certain moments, if at all. Some beats would play better in separation anyway -- for example his "This isn't happening" beat. You made the shots' "half-life" much shorter by imposing that artificial need to keep each one onscreen 100 per cent of the time in the split-screen.
The kitchen: You are "chasing the line" slavishly, always cutting to the character talking, and never to the character listening. There's no reason why we should be on the dark-skinned woman for the entire stretch of dialogue. I would probably overlap her first line or so with the woman with glasses (because you didn't show them in the same room, so connection between the characters for that whole chunk of dialogue is tenuous). Then use reactions from the woman with glasses to keep her in the scene. That wide two-shot is very flat, though -- do you have anything on the woman with glasses, closer to their line of tension?
Yipes...any way to cut down on that Japanese girl? She's unfunny, but acts like she thinks she's funny.
What's that shot at 5:30 doing there? It looks like the tail end of sunset there, but it's well into the night everywhere else. It made me think there was time passage (like it's now wee hours in the morning), but then you cut right back to the old time setting. It made no sense.
The shot of Danny waiting to go inside is too long. We get it. Cut out about half of it. If you're worried about continuity, just have him leave that position in the wide of the driveway we saw before. If you don't have that coverage, just cut from him about to make up his mind to the shot of the door. You don't need to be so literal with physical location -- we don't need to see him leave the car to get it.
Wide shot on the family reacting to his entrance: The cut can be crisper. All you're using is the woman's mother turning, and right now she's awkward. Just use the last tail end of her turn. It'll be a much crisper cut and the effect of the "judgment" will come across better.
The initial character relationship (woman in tub vs. man in car) is interesting, but everything after that isn't very strong. The kitchen and living-room scenes are slow, and distract from the main character.
Maybe seeing Episode 1 would help, but if I were watching this as a stand-alone piece (webisodes somewhat need that kind of autonomous ability to hold our interest without having seen everything before), it's not enough to make me want to hunt down Episode 1.

Thanks for the input. Appreciate the feedback!

I agree with most of the comments made, but I few I don't. The scene where he leaves the car is great. It's nice to see someone take the time to give the actor a "moment". You could trim the end of that scene a bit, but otherwise it's great. I'm okay with the Kitchen scene. Would be nice to have a little more coverage but I know sometimes that's not possible.
I actually loved his performance in the car.
Have to total disagree with Derek, I really wanted to see episode one! Too many web series are skit base and I love that you slow things down a bit. Tire of short attention span shows.
Watched episode one which I think is stronger than 2, but I think you've got a great show and I will be watching

Description Saint Isaac Jogues (1607-1646), was a French Jesuit who served for many years in the Society's Huron mission in North America. After some years of successful ministry, he was captured and tortured by enemies of the Huron people. Following a brief respite in France, he returned to the missions where he was again captured, tortured and finally killed by tomahawk. He is pictured holding the Blessed Sacrament, wearing priestly vestments decorated with what is meant to represent Indian corn. Beneath his feet is a medallion with a sunrise and a lake with two sail boats representing the lakeside mission location. Below the medallion is the instrument of his death, a tomahawk with a rawhide thong attached. The shield of Creighton University contains likenesses in profile of its two lay founders, Edward Creighton and Count John Creighton. The inscription reads: Creighton University, Omaha; the foundation date is 1878. The school colors are blue and white.

The astronaut as an Outback handyman or handywoman
6 years ago Elizabeth Howell
Working in space is just slightly more remote than working in the Outback. Credit: NASA
Perhaps the ultimate expression of Australian self-sufficiency is those workers in the remote areas of the Outback, digging for oil or dinosaur treasure or perhaps using a telescope to gaze at the stars, far from light pollution. In much of Australia, if something breaks, you're going to have to find a way to fix it yourself.
That's pretty similar to what astronauts face on the International Space Station. If a toilet or treadmill snaps, or if a solar panel fizzles, the astronauts can surely call for help to Mission Control to get some procedures. Ultimately, however, the men and women on board will need to fix the problem themselves with whatever tools are there.
Enter these pictures of an astronaut toolbox making the rounds in several media reports. Tim Peake, an astronaut with the European Space Agency, posted a photoset of a toolbox that astronauts use on the space station. The array of screwdrivers and washers and clamps is impressive, and demonstrates how the station partners are trying to prepare for just about any eventuality.

What's even more impressive is the tools that are used during spacewalks. This, in fact, prompted one astronaut crew (STS-61) to find itself on the American show Home Improvement during the 1990s — simply because they had fixed the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit.
"It's a lot like using tools here on Earth, except there's no gravity, so you don't have to worry about dropping a tool on your foot," joked commander Richard Covey on the show, a Season 3 episode called "Reality Bytes." At least two other NASA crews appeared in future seasons of the show because of their work during spacewalks.
Just goes to show you that a repair, whether in space or on Earth, can take you to unexpected places.

Question: I don't have any positive feelings towards the group and the friends since it is merely pretense, a lie! What should I do?
Answer: It certainly is pretense and a lie. After all we are all initially only in our nature of "to receive" and this is what determines our actions. There are people, especially politicians who can pretend and act as if they worry about others, but a person who cannot stand lies cannot act as if he is "good." He expresses what he actually feels.
The wisdom of Kabbalah, however, doesn't call it a lie but acting! You should act as someone who loves, and only with regard to the friends, and don't lie to them but to yourself in order to reach the goal, in order to set an example so that the friends will also act as kind and loving before you. As a result, the habit of acting becomes second nature in both directions, despite the fictitious behavior because a person begins to draw the Returning Light.

I have ambivalent feelings about New Year's. Some people make resolutions and some people choose a word for the year. I have no luck maintaining resolutions and I would forget my word within about two weeks so I won't even pretend to have expectations for 2012. I wish for all of us health and peace and I hope that, day by day, we all live in the moment and appreciate those moments as they arrive.
AP and I are having a quiet day today. I've taken the Christmas decorations down and put them away for another year. There's a gray drizzle outside our window and so there's really nothing to do except make a cup of tea and settle in with a good book.
May 2012 be kinder to you.


1414 is making some pretty big claims about its molten silicon thermal energy storage system before it gets to commercial scale. But the technology does have promise—for specific applications.
One of the companies bidding for a 100-megawatt storage plant in South Australia is standing by claims that its technology could beat lithium-ion.
Adelaide-based 1414 Degrees, named after silicon's melting point (and formerly known as Latent Heat Storage), claims to have developed a molten silicon thermal energy storage system (TESS) that can store 500 kilowatt-hours of energy within a 70-centimeter cube.
This is 36 times the capacity of a 14-kilowatt-hour Tesla Powerwall 2 lithium-ion battery, the company claims. 1414 Degrees says it could build a 10 megawatt-hour plant for around AUD $700,000 (USD $528,000), or a tenth of the price of a Tesla battery-based project.
If there's any lesson to be learned over the last decade, it's to be wary of these kinds of sweeping claims from startups.
News reports omitted one important detail: The most obvious way to generate electricity from molten silicon would be to boil water and make steam to drive a turbine. In this case, the efficiency would be like that of a combined-cycle gas turbine, at around 30 percent.
Moriarty told GTM that 1414 Degrees could achieve storage efficiencies of up to 90 percent, but only when used for combined heat and power generation (CHP).
The theoretical Carnot efficiency for stored energy at 1,400º C is at least 84 percent, he said.
"Even where heat is not a primary requirement, our systems are so low-cost, long-lasting and high-power-rated that they will provide the required service at much lower cost than batteries," he claimed.
Julia Attwood, an emerging-technologies analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, confirmed that 1414 Degrees could only really claim superiority over lithium-ion in a CHP setting.
"The current electrical efficiency of 1414's prototype is 31 percent," she said, "but they're hoping to get to 40 percent or 50 percent for their commercial units. That's a pretty low efficiency compared to lithium-ion batteries, which are over 80 percent.
A TESS unit providing district heat in combination with grid services could indeed be competitive with a battery, based on efficiency, she said.
And beyond CHP, there may be a couple of other areas where the 1414 Degrees TESS has an edge over lithium-ion batteries, which make up the vast majority of energy storage installations.
One is lifetime, since a TESS is unlikely to lose its ability to store thermal energy over time. And another is duration; although Attwood said 1414 Degrees was lagging on this front.
Meanwhile, the long charging and discharging times of a TESS also mean it can't participate in lucrative short-duration grid services.
It is also said to be among the bidders for a 100-megawatt storage plant contest in South Australia, sparked by Tesla.
In March the company said it had raised AUD $2.5 million (USD $1.9 million) in seed funding "from professional investors in a heavily over-subscribed offer" for a 10-megawatt-hour commercial-scale pilot and its stock market launch.
"Overall, 1414's silicon TESS system is an interesting technology and clearly an improvement over molten salt storage, but it will probably only be useful in a specific niche, with a wider system designed around it," said Attwood.
This story was amended to reflect the actual efficiency of a steam-condensing turbine.


The Wallacedene community hall was full of people who continued to stream in until late afternoon.
Scores of people came to collect their title deeds at the Wallacedene community hall last week, but many also simply came to tell of their continuing struggle to put a roof over their heads and call it home.
Suzette Little, the mayoral committee member for area north, was at the hall on Wednesday July 26 helping officials hand out the precious documents from 21 boxes, each holding more than 100 deeds.
The City is issuing more than 5000 title deeds to RDP homes to beneficiaries living in Wallacedene, Wesbank, Mfuleni and Kalkfontein. According to the City, some 4000 beneficiaries in those four areas have already received their title deeds and 8000 deeds are in the process of being transferred.
But by 6pm on the Wednesday, only 101 title deeds had been handed out at the hall in Wallacedene.
Ward 6 councillor, the ANC's Simpiwe Nonkeyizana, was also in the hall on Wednesday watching the proceedings and he felt they had not been well organised.
"There is a lot of confusion," he said.
He said he and other councillors had wanted the sub-council to drive the process but that hadn't happened, and instead thousands of title deeds had been given to residents simultaneously at community halls in four previously disadvantaged areas, including Wallacedene and Kalkfontein.
"I got an invitation to come here but I'm not the custodian of this event," he said.
Some of these problems included squatters, delays in getting houses once subsidies were approved and inheritance-related queries. Many people also came to apply for houses.
One such applicant was Nomhlaba Banisi of Wallacedene. Ms Banisi lives in a shack with her husband and five children. She had come to find out why she'd had no feedback about her previous application for a house.
Liza Deysel, on the other hand, had a title deed for the land her shack was on but had a problem with squatters living on the land. Ms Deysel said the builders had come twice already but left because the squatters were in the way.
Ms Little said this problem was not unique.
Ms Little said in some cases people who had title deeds, did not yet have houses because they had switched contractors.
There were also situations where spouses and partners were married in traditional or religious ceremonies and the title deed holder died. Or a deceased title deed holder's children continued to live on in the property but none of the necessary details were properly recorded at the Master's Office.
In these cases, ownership ended up in no man's land, Ms Little said.
"They would need to submit the right documents to the Master's Office first," Ms Little said.
But not everyone at the handover had come with grievances.
A 78-year-old woman, walking with a crutch, had come to collect her title deed. The woman declined to give her name but said she had been staying in her house for more than two years.
Before that she had been staying in a "hokkie" on the spot for 27 years.
"Ek is so brêkkerag oor my huis," she declared proudly.
The woman said while the little house was not perfect – some of the taps were loose – she was grateful and happy.
Ms Little said the handover was "long overdue" and was part of the City's "redress".
Deeds still uncollected after the mass handovers will be delivered door-to-door in coming weeks.
This was the first time the City had given out title deeds "on this scale", Ms Little said.
She said it was important that people understood the document was more than just a piece of paper but proof that they owned their properties and that their properties had "become their financial assets".
Brett Herron, the mayoral committee member for transport and urban development, said many people had not yet received their title deeds due to "incomplete processes in the past" that had stalled registrations of ownership.
"Examples of such factors include financial and funding issues, legal appointments, and formal township establishment processes related to sub-divisions and registrations of general plans and so on," he said.
Mr Herron said the City had set up the occupancy regularisation programme to clear the transfer backlog.
The housing database, he said, was compiled according to national government subsidy criteria and, among other things, applicants had to be over 18 and not earn more than R3500 a month.
Applicants can register on the City's housing database by visiting any housing office or using the online housing portal. Applicants can also check the status of their housing application by sending an SMS with their identity number followed by a space and their surname to 44108. They can also contact the call centre at 021 444 0333 with their queries.
Andisiwe Velaphi of Wallacedene shows off her title deed.
Twenty-one boxes, with more than a hundred title deeds each, were ready for handover.


O.K., it's time for me to launch into my biennial 'Olympic diatribe' that my friends and family have grown so accustomed to hearing. While it probably stems from my general dislike of all of the 'frou-frou', sissified prancing around called 'figure skating' in the Winter Olympics and 'gymnastics' in the Summer Games, my aim is really focused on one thing: remove all events that cannot be objectively measured.
Don't get me wrong – I don't knock the athletic abilities, talents, or training that goes into all of those various events that have 'judges'; I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for what those athletes can accomplish. But, if you can't determine the winner solely on speed, distance, goals scored, accuracy, etc. – it shouldn't be an Olympic sport. When judges start applying their opinions as to 'style', 'execution', etc., you are really getting into 'artistic expression' rather than 'athletic competition'. At least that's my opinion.
So, I would completely eliminate a lot of events from the Olympics because they are based solely on judges' scoring. But others would also need to be modified to remain an Olympic event. For example, in the ski jump, I'm sure that greater distance is obtained by maintaining proper form, etc. But, if one guy can out-distance the others by curling up in the fetal position and flapping his arms like a chicken, he should win. Use the tape measure; forget the judges.
The Olympics should be all about who can go faster, jump further, lift more, make more goals, etc.
And isn't that the way we prefer to look at our lives, too. So often, we want to hold up our accomplishments and what we've done – especially in comparison to others – and use that as the measure of our lives. It shouldn't really matter how we got we are as long as we end up with a few medals around our neck, right?
Unfortunately, God doesn't look at our lives that way.
First of all, there is no 'competition'. It doesn't matter if we are faster than someone else, if we can go farther than another, or if we are more accurate than others. Why? Because we are the only ones in our race.
The next way God views our lives differently than the Olympics is that He is THE Judge. And He is a perfectly righteous and just judge.
God doesn't look so much at WHAT we accomplish (how fast, how far, how high) as HOW we do it. He judges 'style': heart, attitude, motivations – all of those things I prefer to be taken out of the equation.
When you leave the end of that ski jump and are flying through the air and a gust of wind catches you and throws you off balance - look to Jesus. The Judge's Score: 10.
When you attempt a 'Double McTwist 1260' and end up in a crumpled heap in the half pipe - keep your eyes on Jesus. The Judge's Score: 10.
When you think you've pulled off a colossal upset and truly deserve the prize, you better look to Jesus and give Him the glory. The Judge's Score: 10.
You are in your own race.

Reader JG notes this disturbing incident, an echo of my privacy scenario post.
Michael Michalski worked for Allegheny County, Pa., as an emergency dispatcher. He began running searches on the internal computer network and databases to locate his former girlfriend…A supervisor… became aware of Michalski's misuse of government databases and placed him on a deferred suspension….Because he still had access to the databases before his suspension began, Michalski continued to gain unauthorized access to personal information about Phillips….Then, while on suspension, Michalski phoned his co-workers at the call center, who allegedly helped him continue the database lookups even though they were aware it was for an illicit purpose.
On Oct. 29… the supervisor met with Michalski and confronted him…Later that day, Michalski shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, Ferderbar, and her new boyfriend, Phillips, according to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article.

Glenn Fleishman says:
Sed quis quaerodiet ipsos quaeres? (Probably bad Latin) Who searches the searchers?
Any database of private information should have a reinforced audit trail and enforced access layers. A system such as that could restrain certain patterns of searches, alert supervisors, or prevent others from performing similar searches after it was identified.
Doesn't sound like there was a question of them being aware that the searches were happening (although it's unclear how they became informed of them), there should have been a straightforward way to cut off access to specific kinds of searches or databases on an individual level.
SEARCH ENGINES Web says:
1- There are softwares available that would allow an I.T. Manager to instantly cut off access of a suspended employee from a Database, but sadly, no one could have controlled his colleagues from helping him.
2- Equally as disturbing, is the lack of concern about Pro-active communication … read the excepts below.
ONE GODD**M phone call could have prevented this…
Nussbaum, according to the complaint filed in this case, contacted one local police department but not the ones in the area where the ex-girlfriend, Ferderbar, and her new boyfriend lived….
…On the afternoon of October 29, 2003, Michalski contacted dispatchers at the 911 Call Center…to explain the circumstances of his termination, indicating that he had nothing left to live for and that Gretchen Ferderbar and Mark Phillips were going to pay for putting him in his present situation. Despite this contact by Michalski, none of the dispatchers made an effort to contact Gretchen Ferderbar or Mark Phillips or the police departments of the Township of Shaler or the Borough of Carnegie. Later that afternoon, Michalski shot and killed Mark Phillips with a handgun
In terms of the privacy concern, since this person was working for an emergency call center – that was part of the county's law enforcement umbrella – those databases MAY have been intergrated for a reason.
The permissions to look up detailed information may have helped save lives or prevent crimes. But perhaps a compromise could be enacted where a Supervisor would have to sign-off on certain TYPES of personal detailed look-ups, or given a mandatory second pasword to open the database.
(lets just hope that supervisor does not have a breakdown)
Brandon Byers says:
Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if the media uses this story as another reason to outlaw guns or attack gun rights. Which of course ignores the important issues involved.
I think that in this situation, the people who helped him get info and the people who didn't deactivate his access quickly enough should be charged with accessory to homicide. Of course, I don't think the law would lead to that, but that's my take.
Make the punishment fit the crime, so maybe not a lot of prison time, but definitely something harsh enough to make people take other people's information seriously.
A similarly asinine story happened last year in a county near Houston, TX, where they scanned on tons of homeowners' papers at one county clerk's office. The hitch? Those now-available-on-the-net papers included social security numbers. And what did the clerk's office say about that? That it'd be too expensive to change what was put online now that it's already up.
Ridiculous. If people don't start taking this stuff more seriously, somebody's going to get … oh, wait.

More black women have died in childbirth this year than from abortion-related complications in the past 15 years combined.
Since the truth and facts don't mean much to many of the people who want to make abortion illegal by any means necessary and regardless of whom it harms, anti-abortion trolls took a tweet from PP Black Community out of context and shared it at a hearing on a six-week and 20-week abortion ban introduced by the House of Representatives.
The people who troll black women for affirming that abortion is medically safe while uplifting the crisis of maternal mortality in the United States do not care about mothers, babies or families.
The people who rely on doctored quotes and half-truths about a woman who has been dead for 50 years to cut off women's access to family planning services do not care about mothers, babies or families.
The people who advocate for the introduction of six-week and 20-week abortion bans while trying to take away prenatal care, limit access to birth control and get rid of the adoption tax credit do not care about mothers, babies or families.
The people who claim to care about the "unborn" (which is questionable, considering their cuts to maternal health benefits) don't care about the living, breathing children of color being actively harmed and killed as a result of state-sanctioned violence by the police, ICE and Border Patrol. And they do not care about mothers, babies or families, as shown by their unwillingness to invest in education, housing, transportation and health for all.
It's time for us to call out their toxic and perverted morality masking as "care" for what it is: a sham. We have clear data to prove it. Fighting the battle of abortion while starving our communities is immoral and unjust.
The best antidote to their scary agenda is to build our collective power. Black women should decide if they are ready to parent and should have the support and the care they need no matter what decision they make. Organizations like Black Mamas Matter Alliance and the Afiya Center are already working to save the lives of black mamas by addressing why black women are dying in childbirth.
The people who claim to care about the "unborn" (which is questionable, considering their cuts to maternal health benefits) don't care about the living, breathing children of color being actively harmed and killed as a result of state-sanctioned violence by the police, ICE and Border Patrol.
You see, we have the power to build a world where, in the words of Sister Song, people can "maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities," free from harm from individuals or the government. That is what reproductive justice is; that is what we are fighting for.
That is why we won't stop.
You can come at us, but know that we won't be shamed or harassed into silence.
The National Birth Equity Collaborative's mission is to reduce black maternal and infant mortality through research, family-centered collaboration and advocacy. Our vision is that every black infant will celebrate a healthy first birthday with their family.
The Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights works to support and empower Latinas to speak out and shape policies that impact our lives in order to ensure that we all have the rights, resources and power to live with health and dignity.

SAIL Coordinator Researches Inside and Out
For ten years, Carrie Hutnick has connected college students with meaningful service learning opportunities. Currently she works as the Social Action and Integrative Learning (SAIL) program's community development coordinator. Now, as part of her doctoral research, Hutnick is exploring the impact of an unusual learning experience shared between undergraduates and people incarcerated in the U.S. correctional system.
Prior to her work with SAIL, Hutnick volunteered with Americorps, working at a community center in Baltimore connecting residents with a variety of social services. At the center, Hutnick also relied on student volunteers from area colleges.
Hutnick said, "I learned more about the social service system in that one year than anywhere else. That experienced affirmed my belief that change should come from within communities. The students [I worked with] were changed. They saw that they could use their own agency to do something."
Following this, Hutnick earned a master's degree in higher education and service learning from University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Later, as the service learning coordinator at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, she became involved with the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, helping to facilitate Saint Joe's Inside-Out courses.
Inside-Out brings together traditional undergraduate students and people incarcerated to meet once per week for a semester-long course conducted by a professor trained in the Inside-Out model. Many courses explore themes such as freedom and justice and the prison industrial complex. Courses are taught for college credit and are held in the prison itself, to enable all class members to fully participate in group discussions and learning.
Hutnick continues her work with Inside-Out at Graterford State Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania. Hutnick travels there weekly to participate in the Think Tank, which brings 15 "outside" professors and former students together with 15 "inside" participants incarcerated there, all of whom have participated in one or more Inside-Out courses. The group discusses program development and policies, reviews articles and conducts writing activities. They also organize and facilitate a monthly community workshop for interested supporters to participate in a group discussion around one theme.
Hutnick has seen the impact that the courses have on students' understanding of the prison system. She said, "When people go into the prison space, they see how hope, agency, relationships and a sense of self are all removed. Students see what our society has created and they enter into the thought logic of order, distrust and control… [Inside the prison, though] you see people who have literally been thrown away."
One inside Think Tank member is currently completing a masters' degree and Hutnick plans to partner with this scholar as she drafts her own doctoral dissertation. For her project, Hutnick will focus on the ideology of social change and will examine the impact that programs like Inside-Out has had on those from both sides of the program.
Hutnick said, "Any effective movement has to be led by those who are affected. We will look at individual attitudes and the institutions that support them. We want to explore service learning as social change, and ultimately explore the agency for both groups to enact change."
Hutnick knows that input from a collaborator incarcerated at Graterford will provide the multidimensional research and approach that a comprehensive study requires. Hutnick and her writing partner hope their unusual research format spotlights the powerful change that can happen when two seemingly disparate groups come together to learn.
These experiences carry over into Hutnick's participation in NCLC 475: Creativity as Social Action and Transformation. In this course led by Professor Suzanne Scott Constantine, Hutnick helps facilitate discussions between Mason students and ex-offenders to better understand the systemic inequalities that exist in the current social system.

It's plentiful, it doesn't displace farmland for food crops, it can be converted to fuel far faster than petroleum, and it's carbon neutral. Is seaweed the world's answer to future energy shortages?
Using an experimental rapid-heating process called fast hydrothermal liquefaction, researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology converted an impressive 79% of kelp into bio-oil. A similar project in the U.K. using the same species yielded just 19%, claims energy engineering researcher Khanh-Quang Tran.
The key in the Norwegian work is rapid heating, Tran says: The kelp-and-water slurry was heated to 350 degrees C at a rate of 585 degrees C per minute, thus mimicking (but wildly accelerating) the natural processes that create petroleum.
The next challenge is to scale up the process so that this and other biofuels can contribute to meeting future energy needs while reducing global warming. To do that, biofuel production will need to increase by 22-fold by 2025, according to the International Energy Agency.

Until the current global Ebola crisis hit, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea were making great strides against the tropical diseases that affect their poorest citizens. Now, health workers and philanthropic aid diverted to Ebola's frontlines will likely deplete vital resources needed to fight Neglected Tropical Disease (NTDs) such as river blindness, schistosomiasis, and elephantiasis, warn health officials.
"NTD mass drug distribution has been described as the best investment of health dollars for any health intervention, with delivery costs of 20-50 US cents per person/year," states David Molyneux, emeritus professor and senior professorial fellow of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
He notes that half the world's population—and 60% of children—will be living in the tropics by mid-century.

They're comfortable with all forms of technology because they've grown up playing with it, but don't mistake the digital natives' comfort with computers for true media savvy, warns a new study led by Shiang-Kwei Wang of the New York Institute of Technology. Despite myths about the young surpassing the old, teachers are more experienced in using IT—and students still need teachers, she concludes.
Wang's study of U.S. middle-school science students revealed that they have wide access to computers outside of the classroom, where they spend much of their time playing games, listening to music, and socializing. But these students were not as fluent in using information technology in the classroom beyond doing basic research; they lacked the skills necessary to develop creativity, solve problems, and work more productively.
Their teachers, on the other hand, were far more fluent in these non-entertainment uses of technology, but they have had few opportunities to introduce these skills to their students.
Wang recommends better training for teachers in developing ways to integrate these practical uses of digital technologies into the curriculum. The key for students is to build on their natural comfort with the technologies that they use outside of school.
"The school setting is the only institution that might create the needs to shape and facilitate students' technology experience," she said in a press statement. "Once teachers introduce students to a new technology to support learning, they quickly learn how to use it."

Traffic jams are stressful, and bike paths through dark tunnels are scary. In order to design more emotionally positive environments, German researchers have launched the interdisciplinary Urban Emotions project to capture previously unavailable data about the human ecosystem.
Study participants wear heart monitors and other sensors as they travel through town, recording data about their stress levels when encountering such things as a car horn blaring suddenly from behind or a hidden entry on a jogging path where a mugger might be lurking. (Other stressors include noise pollution and heat spots, while green spaces can induce more positive experiences for city dwellers.)
Researchers then collect the biometric data and compare it with other publicly shared information, such as photographs of the locations uploaded to social media sites like Facebook or Flickr. By pinpointing the locations that are causing the stress and analyzing the suspected stress triggers, urban planners and designers can address them and anticipate future problems.
"If successful, these new, creative methods will be a valuable addition to traditional urban planning," says project leader Dr. Bernd Resch, a geoinformatics expert at Heidelberg University's Institute of Geography.

SIGNALS Feedback: In Memory of Joseph Coates (FS, Vol. 1, No. 1)
Ian Pearson (@timeguide via Twitter): Nice piece about Joe Coates. A fine mind and never afraid to tell the truth.
Gary Marx (via e-mail): Joe was a dear friend. With Vary, we had a dynamic duo. I was privileged to spend time with Joe at their home, in his office, and, of course, at WFS gatherings. He was the epitome of the inquiring mind. Joe kept questioning and challenging. At the same time, he was teaching us all about thinking and reasoning skills and pressing us toward critical and creative thinking. We all live richer lives because Joe was part of ours.
Steven M. Johnson (via e-mail): Our group at Honda actually got to know Joe well, and at one point hired him.
Tom Lombardo (via e-mail): Thanks for the nice review of Joe's work, life, and career.
Hazel Henderson (via e-mail): I first met Joe Coates when he was at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and I was serving on NSF's Committee on Research Applied to National Needs (RANN). Joe was always a wonderful intellectual challenge and kept us on our toes! Then while serving on the Technology Assessment Advisory Council (TAAC) to OTA from 1974 until 1980, I connected with Joe and Vary Coates, who were both outstanding research contributors to OTA's Studies. These are now being selectively re-published by Ethical Markets and Cosimo Publishers in New York, with the first volume, "Alternative Technology for Local Development," with my foreword, now in press.
Joe was an outstanding futurist and I learned much from him and Vary over many years. I will miss Joe's towering presence at so many World Future Society meetings, and he earned an honored place in the annals of futures research.

Legal ephedra?
The Food and Drug Administration banned the weight-loss supplement ephedra as of April 2004, but you might not know that if you hang out on the Internet. Ephedra Outlet touts "Ripped Ma Huang Ephedra Diet Pills"; BuyEphedraOnline.com ("Your #1 Source for Ephedra Products") offers Trimethylene with "10 mg ephedra." Several sites sell Ephedra 5, "the only clinically proven, legal Ephedra supplement in the United States."
What gives? Turns out the FDA banned alkaloids of ephedrine, found mainly in the stem of the ephedra sinica species. It's the chemical presumably responsible for weight loss but also for boosting heart rate and blood pressure. Adverse effects included heart attacks, strokes, seizures, and even death.
Current pitches wriggle out of the rule by claiming to sell extracts from species of ephedra (viridis and others) that contain little or no ephedrine. Those "legal" ephedras aren't likely to pose dangers—or do much else, says Bill J. Gurley, Ph.D., a professor of pharmaceutical sciences in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
An FDA spokeswoman confirmed that the products are legal as long as they don't contain alkaloids of ephedrine. But any sites selling ephedra with ephedrine (we found a few claiming to do that) are doing so illegally, even if the products are left over from before the ban.
What you can do. Avoid weight-loss pills and supplements to improve athletic or sexual prowess. Those products commonly harbor hazardous ingredients. Even products that have shed ephedra often include other stimulants such as bitter orange, which has similar side effects.

However, rain, hail or shine, we believe Spring is a time for new beginnings.
Spring lambs. Spring ducklings. And ... spring videos?
Okay, perhaps the spring video idea hasn't quite taken off yet—but it should!
Because now is the perfect time to show off what you do well to new clients, or to show a new idea to an old client.
We can help you spring your idea into life!
At Sketch Videos HQ, we're always delighted to chat with people when they're just starting to plan a work conference or event.
There are so many ways we can work together to add clarity and sparkle to your well-planned day–listening to your ideas, adding our own, and together working out the best way to make your conference a truly memorable experience for the attendees. Whether that's through live sketching, prepared visual content, or post-conference collateral based on the discussions of the day, there are a ton of ways to use visuals to stand out.
We're always happy to try and work within your budget to come up with a bespoke plan that really sets your event apart.
We have a great team of professional live sketchers who can stand alongside speakers on stage and clarify their messages with real-time visual magic; we have graphic recorders that work with you to really best capture panel discussions; or perhaps you need a sketch artist to draw portraits or vox pop vignettes in the foyer while your conference attendees are milling about and discussing the ideas of the day.
Sketch Videos recently worked with mental health researcher Joseph Tighe to create a compelling video about the important eHealth app iBobbly.
iBobbly is the world's first suicide prevention app designed especially for use by Indigenous Australians.
The name iBobbly comes from a Kimberley greeting, the region where the iBobbly trial first took place.
We worked with Joe to script and visualise a video that helps explain the reasons, the research and the very encouraging results for the iBobbly app.
We're very proud to be involved in a small way with this project and to showcase the iBobbly app. We hope it makes a real difference.
Have a look at the finished video here.
Stay tuned for next month, when Sketch Videos gets a makeover!

Q: SWT - Making a table scrollable I have tried the below code, and the table is appearing without any scrollbar. Kindly help in making the SWT table scrollable by both horizontally and vertically.
    package snippet;

            item.setText(1,"item_id"+i);

            item.setText(3,"object_string"+i);
        }

    }

}

I have tried to use both SWT.SCROLL_PAGE and SWT.SCROLL_LINE. both are giving the same result in this example. I am missing a basic understanding related to scrollable widgets in SWT. Kindly help in this regard.

A: The values that you're looking for are SWT.V_SCROLL and SWT.H_SCROLL. If you replace the SWT.SCROLL_PAGE constant in the Table constructor with those two, your code will work as expected.
Table table = new Table(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.CHECK | SWT.RESIZE | SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.H_SCROLL);

Das Paulustor in Fulda wurde in den Jahren von 1709 bis 1711 nach Plänen von Johann Dientzenhofer errichtet.

Geschichte
Das Tor, das sich zunächst zwischen Stadtschloss und Hauptwache befand, wurde 1771 durch den Bauinspektor Karl Philipp Arnd auf Wunsch des Fürstbischofs Heinrich von Bibra an seinen jetzigen Standort am Ende der Pauluspromenade versetzt und mit Seitenbauten versehen. Der Historiker Werner Kirchhoff merkte an, dass das Tor früher am anderen Ende bei der Hauptwache in der Trennmauer zwischen Stiftsbezirk und Stadt stand und die Versetzung an die heutige Stelle eine politische Manifestation gewesen sei: "Von Bibra hob damit die Trennung zwischen Klosterbereich und Stadt auf und dokumentierte, dass die bisherigen Untertanen nun Bürger waren". Seine Existenz war mehrmals gefährdet. Erstmals 1871, als die neue preußische Regierung in Berlin und Kassel gegenüber Fulda sich immer wieder neue "Spitzfindigkeiten" ausdachte. Schließlich kaufte die Stadt mit Oberbürgermeister Franz Rang an der Spitze für 200 Reichstaler das Paulustor vom Fiskus, um den Abbruch zu verhindern.

Ausgestaltung
Benannt ist das barocke Bauwerk nach dem Apostel Paulus, dessen Statue in der Mitte über dem Portal steht, umrahmt von den beiden Stadtheiligen Simplizius und Faustinus. Auf der rechten Seite befindet sich die Figur des Heiligen Simplizius ausgestattet mit einem Speer, einem Schild und einem Kreuz; auf der linken Seite ist der Heilige Faustinus ebenso mit einem Speer, einem Schild mit einer Lilie und einem halben Reichsadler dargestellt. Beide Sandsteinstatuen sind vermutlich von Andreas Balthasar Weber geschaffen worden und fungierten als Wächterfiguren zum Schutz der Stadt vor Feinden sowie der Verteidigung des Glaubens.

More new stuff from Purity Ring. Following up on push pull is their new track begin again.
The track is as straight forward a song that I've heard from the Canadians. No distorted and bizarrely appealing vocals, weird yet melodic synths – none of that. Instead we get what is a subtle sounding club banging musical backing with some nice vocals. Weird, I know! But still some good dark pop from the band. Check it out below.


Gattaca Projects created 3D modelling of manufacturing facilities and the plans for the implementation of new plant machinery. This was achieved by taking point cloud data and survey data to develop an up-to-date e-plan and model of the manufacturing facility before showing via simulation that proximity, forklift access egress was acceptable to client.

HomeTURKISH DRAMA Elçin Sangu, forced to pay almost 4 million Turkish Liras to her ex-agent: "I will not be silent anymore".
Elçin Sangu, forced to pay almost 4 million Turkish Liras to her ex-agent: "I will not be silent anymore".
Bad news for Elçin Sangu. After more than six years of litigation, Turkish justice has ruled in favor of her former agent Başay Okay, who denounced the fraudulent dismissal she was subjected in 2016 by the actress. The judgment obliges the 'I Rent You My Love' star to pay compensation totaling almost four million Turkish Liras: 1 million 350 thousand in compensation and 2 million 378 thousand in interest for all the jobs the actress accepted during these past years.
When the litigation started, both parties intended to settle their differences as amicably as possible but, failing to reach an agreement, the case has dragged on until now and could continue with the appeal of the actress, who has already responded by making it clear that she believes in her innocence and is not going to give up.
Elçin Sangu and her ex-manager
Elçin has responded to the ruling with a statement.
The news of the latest ruling has spread like wildfire and several media outlets have echoed the judgment. In response to it, the interpreter and her lawyer Ali Demirel have wanted to release a joint statement in which they make it clear that, in response to the decision of the local court, they will appeal the ruling to higher instances since "it is a legal right". In addition, Elçin has made it clear that the case file is available for anyone who wants to read it and urges the press and his own fans to read it and draw their own conclusions. "I have been silent until now but enough is enough! I haven't told what they have done to me until today, but I won't be silent anymore!"
Başay Okay: "Even if this case was worth 1 lira, I would have fought."
The star's former agent always believed in her innocence and stood her ground during the trials, which took place last summer: "Elçin Sangu, in addition to unfairly terminating our contract, did not hand over the commissions due to me from advertising contracts, but gave them to another manager. Everyone knows that in this industry. I am right. Six years have passed and I am still continuing my fight. Even if this case was worth 1 lira, I would have fought." Finally, the court has ruled in her favor, although we will still have to wait for possible appeals from the actress's lawyers.

Wyoming Republican Senator Mike Enzi To Retire In 2020
The longtime conservative will not be seeking reelection at the end of his fourth term.
By Carla Herreria
Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) announced on Saturday that he will be retiring at the end of his term in 2020 after serving four terms.
Enzi laid out his retirement plans during a speech at the city hall in Gillette, where he once served as mayor. Enzi is currently the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
"I have much to get done in the next year and a half," the Republican said, adding that he wanted to focus on legislation to tackle the national debt, small businesses and jobs in Wyoming.
"I don't want to be burdened with the distractions of a campaign," Enzi continued. "After this term, I will find other ways to serve."
Enzi's retirement will leave a Senate seat open in a majority-Republican state. As ABC News noted, Wyoming hasn't elected a Democrat to a Senate seat in over 40 years.
A low-key conservative in the Senate, Enzi has been in office for 22 years and passed more than 100 bills.
While Enzi was instrumental in passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, during his speech he made note of his reputation for reaching across the political aisle to work on legislation.
"Most of my bills have 15 or less votes in opposition which is very bipartisan," Enzi said.
Sen. John Barrasso, also a Republican senator from Wyoming, commended his colleague's leadership on Saturday.
Enzi's "character, courage and credibility have made him a respected moral leader in the U.S. Senate," Barrasso said in a statement. "In four terms in the Senate he has never wavered in his commitment to God, family or Wyoming."

— Sen. John Barrasso (@SenJohnBarrasso) May 4, 2019
The Senate and Wyoming will miss the valued leadership of the trusted trail boss of our congressional delegation. Bobbi and I feel privileged to be allowed to serve Wyoming alongside Mike and Diana.
In a statement, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who challenged Enzi for his seat in 2014, also thanked the senator for "fighting for a smaller, less obstructive, and more efficient federal government that would allow people to grow and thrive," Politico reported.

Disposable plastics; is this the last straw?
Home/News/Disposable plastics; is this the last straw?
Consider this; it takes 200 years for a plastic straw to break down completely. This means that every time we purchase and consume a beverage (most of which don't actually require a straw), we are inadvertently creating a demand for a plastic product that will most likely only be used once, for a very short amount of time – but yet will remain a part of this planet long after we are gone. According to National Geographic magazine, Americans use a projected 500 million straws daily, each one with a lifespan of almost two centuries. The necessity to eradicate such an unassumingly harmful and insidious pollutant is therefore evident. Our reliance on excessive and largely unnecessary plastic products is a global issue that has gained attention and traction worldwide in the past few years from concerned citizens. The Ocean Conservancy Organisation has predicted that at our current consumption rate, by 2050, "there will be more plastic (by weight) than fish in the ocean" (World Economic Forum).
South Africa is still relatively new to the anti-straw war; however, we appear to be making up for lost time. Refilwe Mofokeng, a Marine Biology Doctoral student is making waves as a prominent anti-straw advocate. Her goal is to put an end to the extreme use of, and reliance on disposable plastic products, particularly in the restaurant and retail industry. As part of her hands-on approach, Mofokeng has been accruing more anti-straw warriors, including restaurants that are ready to start curbing their plastic consumption one balloon or plastic straw at a time. The popular John Dory's franchise restaurant at Wilson's Wharf in KwaZulu Natal has vowed to stop providing customers with balloons – a well-known and dangerous ocean pollutant. There are also a growing collection of restaurants countrywide that are now using bamboo, glass and paper crockery and straws as alternatives to the plastic variety. The social responsibility movement has subsequently encouraged retailers to promote plastic-free shopping bag alternatives by providing paper substitutes or by dedicating specific days of the week to 'plastic free' shopping.
Despite a definite increase in recycling efforts, only "14% of plastic packaging is collected for recycling, and of that, only 5% is saved for a second use" and an estimated 50% of plastic (in all its forms) is only used once, and then disposed of (Ocean Conservancy Organisation). The 'working life' of a plastic bag has been calculated to be approximately 15 minutes, however, once they have fulfilled their purpose, they often make their way into our oceans – and wreak major havoc on the environment as a whole. The National Environmental Management Act "imposes a duty of care on every person to take reasonable measures to avoid causing significant pollution or degradation to the environment." The #strawsmustfall movement is indicative of the fact that there is a growing global community that takes this act to heart, and is making concerted efforts to reduce their 'plastic footprint', however, the war on straws is going to need many more soldiers in order to render it victorious.


This book contains Chögyal Namkhai Norbu's invaluably precious comments on the songs from his first collection, Message from Tibet, revealing multiple levels of interpretation: one more external and immediate, one more symbolic, and one more internal, connected to the teaching.
Rinpoche's explanations make it easier to understand the songs in Message from Tibet more precisely because he clarifies the meaning of the individual verses and words and sheds light on nuances that we may not otherwise recognize. In addition, beyond helping us appreciate the poignant message communicated in each song, the Collected Comments can serve as an effective tool for learning some of the recurrent words and becoming familiar with the Tibetan language.
