Letters to the Editor – Saturday, January 15, 2022
Sam Brown is all smiles after his name was picked as one of the 40 lucky winners for The Fiji Times 152nd anniversary December promotion in Suva on Thursday, January 13, 2022. Picture: JONACANI LALAKOBAU
The smile says it all
SAM Brown, 75, was all smiles after his name was picked as one of the 40 lucky winners OF The Fiji Times 152nd anniversary December draw.
He was elated as the extra cash will enable him to put a new coat of paint on his house.
Brown, who is retired and gets $100 in social welfare payment, shared the financial challenges that restricted him from investing in buying paint.
Hence, the $152 came at an opportune time as he plans to buy paint for his house.
For ordinary Fijians like Sam Brown, winning $152 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic has eased financial burdens.
No wonder the big, bula smile!
Good on you, the people's newspaper — thank you for being the reason for the winners delight!
I'm sure Fijians are keeping their fingers crossed for the major prize!
Wonder who will have the biggest smile!
RAJNESH ISHWAR LINGAM, Nadawa, Nasinu
LATE last year we had a high rate of missing person reported especially our younger generation.
Since there is no official notification of our government leaders' whereabouts such as our prime minister and the attorney-general, maybe they should be treated as missing persons.
Fijians deserve to know their whereabouts and health status since they are accountable to us, the taxpayers of our beloved Fiji.
What is so secret if our leaders are sick?
Isn't it that we mortals get sick during our lifetime?
Law of nature, people born, get sick and die.
If they are really sick, maybe we can think of them in our daily prayers because that's what humans do, we are compassionate, loving and caring towards our fellow humans.
JIOJI MASIVESI, Tadra-Votualevu, Nadi
COVID threat
THERE is something sinister about twelve to four
COVID cannot be what the curfew is for
In those four hours can there be mindless war
Or do mermaids and Aquaman swim to our shore
Are there aliens waiting for us behind that door
Or will thousands of lions come together to roar
I hope they have not discovered an ancient dinosaur
Or a volcano from where the golden lava will pour
All I want is the freedom to go to the corner store
And buy ice-cream while I watch boys score
KIRAN KHATRI, Samabula, Suva
Let's not forget to read
THANK you Fred Wesley for your Op Ed (FT13/1) "Let's not forget to read".
You have highlighted the issue constantly raised by Prof Paul Geraghty.
The inability to read is indeed a tragedy for Fiji — because a young person's inability to read is due entirely to adults: parents, family and teachers.
The ability to read follows upon the desire to read, which can only be achieved if reading is fun.
Once reading is a chore, no child will be interested, and an uninterested child will be bored and daydream.
Children should read every day, from an early age, preferably from books that are amusing and of personal interest to the child. (Please, no books about ghosts and spooks — that is child abuse).
The parent or family member should read frequently from a favourite book with large type and pictures, and engage the child in a chat about the story.
Gradually, the reader can follow the words with a finger, and a little later on with the child's finger — and it is amazing how quickly the child will learn those words: and reading will begin to be fun.
Children just love to go through the same favourite story over and over again!
The child who has a basic knowledge of the alphabet sounds and some words prior to attending kindy, or preschool, has an enormous advantage.
And this is where Prof Geraghty comes in — this reading should be in the vernacular — the primary language spoken at home.
Once a basic proficiency in the vernacular is achieved, the child will become a reader, and soon another language, for many of them, will become an interesting challenge.
Once a child becomes a reader, they will have a lifelong interest — never know boredom — and acquire incidental general knowledge.
SUE CAUTY, Pacific Harbour
Minister's portfolio
HAS Faiyaz Koya officially taken over the ministerial duties of the Health Minister?
Where art thou Dr Waqainabete?
And did I hear correct that some 500 teachers have tested positive for COVID since the reopening of schools?
Apparently, our school's ventilation system, which according to the Education Minister is far better compared with most schools globally, was no match for this merciless third wave.
Mrs Premila Kumar?
NISHANT SINGH, Lautoka
THE SODELPA leader appears regularly in this column.
Perhaps, someday he would share with the nation as to how his party intends to solve the country's immediate and long-term problems when it has not been able to solve it's own problems for quite a long while.
MOHAMMED IMRAZ JANIF, Natabua, Lautoka
Coming or going
I FOLLOW the reports from the Ministry of Health.
Now we read (FT 14/1) a report from Dr Fong that Omicron had been in Fiji all this time.
Reports changing and I said to myself, are we coming or going.
ALLEN LOCKINGTON, Kava Place, Lautoka
WILL FNPF provide any form of financial assistance to its members who were critically affected by the recent floods?
NISHANT SINGH, Latutoka
School opening
WE are still confused about the opening of schools because of unfortunate incidents such as natural disasters and the third wave, leading to further delays.
Compromising on such issues with responsibilities, patience and care for safety of students and teachers remains paramount.
Education priority is always an asset for the development of any nation.
God bless us all.
TAHIR ALI, Hamilton, New Zealand
One less variant
CONGRATULATIONS to all those who have had Omicron (sorry you won't even know which variant you had contracted) and are recovering or have already recovered.
You have one less variant to worry about.
UNDERSTANDABLE the complaints raised against EFL by consumers.
There is no cyclone but power blackouts/brownouts, is at its worse.
Imagine when a cyclone does strike.
DAN URAI, Lautoka
WHAT'S next after cyclone Cody.
The only word is "hope" that we don't get destroyed by another tropical cyclone.
JAHEED BUKSH, Korolevu, Sigatoka
PM missing
"WHERE is the PM" (FT 14/1) in the country's hour of need for leadership and action, the NFP president wants to know as do many others, including human rights activist Shamima Ali.
I recall a picture published of the PM on horseback going to meet the people in his early days in power.
I suppose now that he has entrenched himself in power for more than 15 years, there is no longer the need to project himself as the man of the people.
RAJEND NAIDU, Sydney, Australia
Local reality
WHEN I am in Fiji, I am constantly travelling by bus (and going to local markets) to keep me in touch with ground realities in my beloved home country.
The picture of the tamani size pothole at the Suva Bus Stand (FT 13/1) is one such ground reality.
Some people in high places only become aware of that reality when they see the "Eye Witness" picture in The Fiji Times!
Blowing his own trumpet
THE thing is Jan Nissar writes all he wants about Fiji from his wonderland which is not music to our ears obviously with valid reasons.
It's OK, he is entitled to his opinion.
However, when he comes to Fiji, he writes a bit positive about Fiji.
He himself mentioned that his writings were not anti-Fiji but rather what he thought needed to be pointed out and the issues that needed to be fixed.
He returned to his adopted country and again started writing such letters.
I believe he has problems with almost everything in Fiji yet he gives very little solutions and only keeps complaining.
This is Fiji and certain things are just the way it is.
Changes can be done where it makes sense.
Certain things have to come from within.
Perhaps with a change in leadership, a lot will change itself.
Now who is blowing their own trumpet here?
But then again, who says there is no "freedom of speech and expression".
KIRTI PATEL, Lautoka
Ironic and cruel
THAT is kind of ironic and cruel, if drinking water was used to clean the Kings Rd (FT 12/01).
That is so very uncool, when people are without water in their homes.
Me kua ga ni true!
EDWARD BLAKELOCK, Pacific Harbour
Unaisi Ratubalavu never fails to impress readers with her pieces.
She ensures that she inspires readers with her articles and via yesterday's The Fiji Times, Una shared the story of 24-year-old Fane Veiqaravi who started an earring business five years ago and today is an entrepreneur.
Fane did not have an ideal start like some but she ploughed her way through by working hard.
The Lauan lass learned to make earrings by watching videos on YouTube and after that there was no looking back.
She pushed herself to work hard at what she wanted to achieve.
Using social media, she attracted customers who were interested in her creations.
Hence, through her dedication and commitment towards her small business, she has been able to achieve success.
This success is set to inspire and motivate other women who are looking for ways to fend for their families.
All the best Fane and thank you Unaisi for the beautiful piece!
Vegetable prices
IT is common that after natural disasters such as cyclones and floods, there is an increase in prices of vegetables in the markets.
The reason is based on the supply and demand philosophy.
I'm confident that the Ministry of Agriculture will once again roll the program of "free seedlings" as soon as possible.
The sooner, the better.
Let's wait and see what our future holds.
Rouhit Karan Singh, Lautoka
It's most unfortunate that 17 people drowned between 2017 and 2021 as highlighted by The Fiji Times editorial (FT 11/1/22) during natural disasters.
The Fiji Times repeatedly reminds and creates awareness on the risks when faced with flooded rivers and creeks.
It should be within our control as we should never underestimate fast flowing currents.
In times of disasters, we should be prepared to swim for life to save ourselves and save others.
Water safety is life safety.
Listen to Dr Fong
Lately, there has been a lot of hue and cry about the spread of COVID-19 and what actions relevant authorities need to take.
Many individuals and organisations tried to give their views on what needed to be done to stop the spread of the virus.
Their views are respected.
But my appeal to all is; please listen to the advice of Dr Fong.
He is a trained medical personal with a lot of experience.
He bases his advices on available medical literature and does not pluck it from thin air.
So let us not become Dr Fong, but listen to him.
Please God keep all Fijians away from harm's way.
Vishnu Deo Sharma, Nakasi, Nausori
COVID in schools
If Dr Fong and the Education Ministry knew of the momentous risks associated with the opening of schools (FT 14/01), then why did they go ahead with the plan?
Their impulsive and poor decision making process to reopen schools has now put some 500 teachers lives in jeopardy — from frying pan to the fire!
Apparently, our school's top notch ventilation system did not do much good either as expected.
Make use of your time
This letter is basically to all fellow students.
I would just like to state that even though all schools are shut, it can be an opportunity for some students who are behind in their school work.
Try to take advantage of this and catch up on school work.
So when schools open, and if some students are left behind, it will be a very challenging task for some teachers.
To avoid this issue, students need to study and revise during this time.
Kelepi Dakuiyaco, Waikalou, Serua
Restless youths at work
They always say: "The devil finds work for idle hands."
Such works of graffiti are starting to show up on our Nadi streets, side roads and common drive-ways.
I plead with those concerned to please refrain from such activity.
It is filthy and unpleasant, to say the least.
Is there anything to gain?
Ronnie Chang, Martintar, Nadi
Living with COVID
Living under COVID, families have started to spend more time with each other, relationships are restored, hands are now super clean and ordinary people use more hand sanitisers than those in the medical profession.
Smile, COVID-19 has taught us to live simple lives, to truly appreciate who really matters, to go back to the basics and to live more cautiously.
All we can do now is to be united together, to remain positive, pray and believe for the better.
May God bless us all.
M S Kaleca, Nakasi, Nausori
While I appreciate the swift messages by the NDMO via text on Saturday, January 8, 2022, Fijians are being reminded to "prepare you and your family from cyclones, make sure to have an emergency kit, contacts and stay updated with the latest weather advisories from authorities".
Question I would like to ask, since many were without work and finance from April, 2020 until to date, who will buy or supply the many hundred thousand families here in the West with emergency kits?
Very easy for you to say it.
What is the purpose of that budget support from New Zealand and Australia during any crisis?
Jioji M Cakacaka, Tadra-Votualevu, Nadi
Preventative health measures
Time and again, people are reminded of preventative health measures to be taken after disaster strikes.
The recent flooding has caused lot of damage to essential infrastructure where the quality of food and water will not be up to standard.
Majority of the cities and towns faced the wrath of flooding in a very short time.
The practice of good hygiene measures is vital.
People are at high risk to water and food-borne illnesses.
People's movement in contaminated environment can lead to communicable diseases.
All should be vigilant to take necessary preventative steps to avoid any outbreak of diseases.
Little good hygiene practices matters the most.
Thank you good Samaritans
I express my gratitude and appreciation to the good Samaritans who reached out to evacuation centres with food, water and other essential needs.
Your kindness during the recent flood is highly appreciated.
I also thank good Samaritans such as Allen "Unkol" Lockington and his right hand Navneet "Central Engineer" Ram for being on the move and assisting needy families and schoolchildren.
Allen and Navneet (TD as Allen calls him) you are champions.
Your assistance has made life easy for the families who were affected by the pandemic!
Allen and Navneet are not politicians, but ordinary humanitarians who have Fiji at heart.
Like the duo, Lautoka businessman Raymond Singh is also thanked for his support and charity work in Lautoka!
At least you guys are doing something positive to help Fijians.
These acts will be remembered by many!
Rajnesh Ishwar Lingamm, Nadawa, Nasinu
We deserve better
It was like we were on a roller-coaster while experiencing the impacts of the cyclone since the power was fluctuating at every short interval.
It was not a good feeling obviously.
I believe this is a common practice most times when cyclones approach.
However, the impacts of power outages start way before the cyclone arrives.
The effects of power blackouts are more intense than the impacts of cyclones at times.
I believe this was not the case before as only when a cyclone made landfall, such actions were taken.
This is not funny nd people do get affected and frustrated.
I am sure EFL can do better.
We, the people of Fiji, deserve better.
The calmness on his face
Joseva Talacolo made an immediate impact on his outing in Dubai last year.
He was ruthless and was a key figure in our forward play.
The calmness on his face (FT 13/01) speaks a lot about the vigor and passion with which he donned the national jumper.
Jo played for Tabadamu and the Police Blue side.
He impressed selectors and former coach Gareth Baber and made the trip to Townsville for the Oceania 7s but missed the cut for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
I'm sure Jo will make the cut for the Malaga 7s in two weeks' time.
He reminds me of the playing days of "The Beast" — always lethal with ball in hand, raring to hit the opposition and ready to pounce on the opposition with some heavy and massive hits.
Love him or loathe him, world tennis No.1 Serbian Novak Djokovic must do the proper thing.
Follow medical sciences and take the COVID-19 jab or smarten up, follow the rules — no jab; no entry; no Australian Open 2022.
It is so simple.
Please stop giving Australian Federal Government and Australian Tennis all this needless hassle through your out-smarted arrogance and smart alec attitude.
Pack up and go home quietly, please.
And respectfully too.
Or face deportation.
All Blacks fan
Frequent contributor to this column, Rajnesh Lingam, deems himself an ardent All Blacks fan (FT 14/02) but he is a Fiji 7s fan.
Sorry buddy, I reckon only those of us who support the All Blacks 15s & 7s are the ardent fans.
O keitou qori.
Anthony Sahai, Suva
The permanent secretary for the Ministry of Health has revealed that the Omicron variant was already prevalent in Fiji prior to the opening of the international border.
This revelation triggers many questions such as: If this was the case, then why it was not disclosed at that instant?
What is the evidence of this claim?
When was the test done and result obtained?
When and how it entered our shores?
Why the act of secrecy to withhold information when other countries promptly disclose their cases?
Recently, even the Greek island of Cyprus instantly disclosed the new variant Deltacron discovered there.
Is this bombshell disclosure contrived to evade public scrutiny and wrath on political failures of ministers who were desperate to open the borders for economic rejuvenation while being unscrupulous with the proliferating status of the virus that's creating havoc globally?
Furthermore, the laxity and nonchalance attitude of some of our people is bearing serious consequences for us all.
Contrary to the vigilance displayed by the police during the initial onslaught, they were barely seen enforcing law as expected of them.
Some gullible and naive people took advantage of the situation and now the whole nation is suffering.
I think that every man is for himself now; either you practise vigilance to protect yourself and your family or be a casualty.
Ravind Chandra Naidu, Tuatua, Labasa
Is it strange that extreme weather conditions excite me?
I understand that Mother Nature has the potential to cause massive amounts of damage and she does not have mercy on those she smacks with a heavy hand but extreme weather conditions cause a jump of excitement and curiosity inside of me.
I've always been obsessed with the weather and hyper sensitive to shifts in the air pressure.
Maybe this is a sign of an underlying passion that I have yet to tap into?
Maybe I should pick up a few books, study weather history and patterns for a while and become one of those people who follow extreme weather for the sake of knowledge.
Not the same kind of excitement when I'm drinking good quality grog.
Wise Muavono, Balawa, Lautoka
Ovalau roads
I may sound monotonous to many, especially those who do not reside on or haven't visited Ovalau post-STC Winston.
Numerous letters have been written, of which I honestly have lost count of, regarding the state of the circular road on Ovalau.
I was on Ovalau during the festive season and simply, the state/condition of the road is "disgustingly pathetic".
Imagine the conditions now, after the continuous heavy downpour over the past few days?
Do I need to write in another language in order to get the message across?
I believe numerous government ministers and other senior officials, including the PM and the A-G have visited Ovalau a few times but no one seems bothered.
Our honourable PM was quoted to have said in an article that was published in the FT 2/10/2020 (page 2), "I promise you that your government is listening to you and is keen to ensure that you have the standard of living that every Fijian deserves".
Despite such a promise, that famous "nobody gives a damn" attitude continues to echo loud and clear.
The people of Ovalau deserve much better and no amount of fancy speeches and travelling on pre-graded and rolled roads in taxpayer-funded top of the range air-conditioned and tinted 4WDs prior to visitation will rectify such.
Ovalau is just a stone's throw away from the mainland.
Anyone listening?
Vehicle lights
Can the Land Transport Authority and traffic police clamp down on the numerous vehicles that have illegal lights installed on them.
Some of these vehicles look more like a Ferris wheel rather than a car.
They are a danger to oncoming vehicles because the lights they have on are too bright and blurs the oncoming driver's visions.
This may and have been the cause of some accidents and if nothing is done about it, we can only brace ourselves for more.
We must not entertain double standards because the number of vehicles on the roads are ever increasing and the traffic jams, especially in the rush hours, are so pathetic.
Vaccination and side effects
After receiving my second jab of the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine, I happen to suffer from mild to severe side effects.
The reactions varied like headaches, muscle pain and digestive issues.
All of them lasted for at least six weeks.
My GP said that "your immune system appears to have over-reacted".
On the medic's advice I changed my diet to appease the immune disorder and it worked.
A little vaccine illness if it is manageable and wanes gradually is paradoxically a good thing; was my take on the matter.
Now I am told "the more you vaccinate, the better it is".
This is one overwhelming medical consideration that I wish to revisit later.
Sachida Nath, Nadi
Road conditions in Tunuloa
I Just recently returned from my traditional abode and we tread on muddy tracks unplayable even by pigs and horses.
There is no road that people can access.
Recent attempts by a company proved futile to develop the ailing road conditions.
Then I heard from my earthlings that there were few clan members who did not want to surrender part of a mega hill rock that sat adjacent to their houses which acted as a major buffer during huge waves or tsunamis.
The Wailevu River is another hindrance to this road project thus two villages and three huge settlements are denied the freedom of movement and equal opportunities as enjoyed by the rest of Fiji.
There is only 4.5km of road to link up with Napuka Secondary School.
But then again, we heard from FRA that rehabilitation work will begin soon on Viti Levu plus tarsealing of the road to Naitasiri, Nadarivatu and the Nadroga/Navosa stretches.
We have been looking forward for the past 70 years for a government to make us happy.
Jioji O Toronibau, Navetau
Vaccine wonderland
We got vaccinated, we got COVID and we transmitted it to those who herd immunity was supposed to protect.
For me, this means the vaccine is useless.
A learned medical doctor also states that hospitalisation can be reduced through early detection, diagnosis and treatment.
Those pushing vaccine sales do not say this, nor those pushing for more aid money.
My family feels privileged and better protected to now have natural immunity thanks to Omicron.
I believe in vaccination but not pushing vaccines that has for me and many — been proven useless.
Rick Eyre, Labasa
Magic of money
I was so happy to read (FT 13/1) that 27,949 iTaukei minors were eligible for $29.3 million windfall in lease money and that six of them would get more than $100,000 each when they come of age.
I am sure they know who they are and are already dreaming about how to spend the money.
I am sure financial planners will be hounding them to show them how to compound their money, car dealers will entice them to buy fancy cars and real estate agents will try to sell them homes.
And premium retailers will present them with offers to buy super-duper sound systems with no money down and no payments until next year!
Banks will invite them to open accounts and offer them a free smartphone.
And they will get missed calls from long lost friends who would want to become their best buddies.
Such is the magic of money.
Those over 18 who are not eligible for this good fortune should not lose heart or feel any envy.
I believe they will also get a windfall right before the elections.
And the good news is that this will not be limited to just iTaukei citizens!
OMG, such generosity.
Make sure your voter registration cards are "current" whatever that means.
Not sure how I ended up with two voter registration cards.
They both look greenish blue.
My wife thinks they are bluish green.
My name on both cards are the same but not the same as my name on my birth certificate.
I went to change it once but the wait was so long I had to leave.
I am mulling over going to get it changed.
Will it be worth the wait?
I wish we know how much the payout will be.
This will make the decision to go or not to go much easier.
Maybe I can hire a stand-in for this torturous chore.
I wonder if the Government has a program like this for senior citizens.
You know how cranky and grumpy we get when we have to wait for a long time.
As if that was not enough, we have to deal with our wives when we go home.
I think the movie Double Jeopardy was made based on a similar gruelling experience.
Suddenly, I'm envious of the 27,949 iTaukei minors.
But as Shakespeare said, "I will sit like patience on a monument. And hope the wait is worth the reward".
My wife already has plans how to spend it.

Vampire Weekend's Chris Baio Announces Solo Australian Club Shows
Emmy Mack Jul. 16, 2015
Image Via Facebook / Baio
After delighting punters with his band Vampire Weekend at last year's Falls Festival, Chris Baio is returning to Australia for a pair of solo club shows.
Under his solo monicker Baio, the award winning DJ and producer will visit our shores next month to perform two shows in Sydney and Melbourne, previewing tracks off his highly-anticipated debut album, The Names.
Baio's new disc features nine self-produced tracks, "written around ideas of space and of belonging, identity and finding a place in the world", and includes the freshly-released single Sister Of Pearl (below).
The disc's lead single, Brainwash yyrr Face, was selected for the bitchin' weekly Faves feature here at Music Feeds a few weeks back by presenter Luke Bodley. He said:
"This song feels like a blustery mishmash of 90s sound artefacts, so much so that I cannot shake a resurfacing image of a prepubescent me playing Pokemon Yellow on my Gameboy Colour", which is a pretty A-Grade wrap coming from Luke.
The Names is slated for release on Friday, 18th September, while tickets to Baio's East Coast club shows go on sale from 10am AEST on Friday, 24th July, with a pre-sale for Frontier Touring members kicking off from 2pm, Wednesday, 22nd July.
Check out venue and ticketing details, below.

I planted these pots this weekend. I went to Home Depot, and I asked the plant expert what to get, and I picked out five plants and five pots. I also got some potting soil and some Miracle-Gro. At home, I put some dirt in the pots, and then the plants in the pots, and then some more dirt around the plants in the pots. Then I walked around for a while and decided where I wanted to put them. Then I watered the plants in the pots. I got dirt everywhere, including on my knees, but my husband vacuumed it up for me. After that, it rained.

Q: change code to select more classes in javascript Look at this piece of code:
<script src="progressbar.js"></script>

<script>
var bar = new ProgressBar.Line(containera, {
  strokeWidth: 4,
  easing: 'easeInOut',
  duration: 1400,
  color: '#FFEA82',
  trailColor: '#eee',
  trailWidth: 1,
  svgStyle: {width: '100%', height: '100%'},
  text: {
    style: {
      // Text color.
      // Default: same as stroke color (options.color)
      color: '#999',
      position: 'absolute',
      right: '0',
      top: '30px',
      padding: 0,
      margin: 0,
      transform: null
    },
    autoStyleContainer: false
  },
  from: {color: '#FFEA82'},
  to: {color: '#ED6A5A'},
  step: (state, bar) => {
    bar.setText(Math.round(bar.value() * 40));
  }
});

bar.animate(1.0);
</script>

The above code selects element with class "containera" and does something with them. I want change my code so it will select bellow classes too:
containerb,containerc,containerd,containere,containerf
but I don't like to repeat my code for every class. I hope you help me :) Thank you.

A: Why don't you wrap your configuration in a function and call it for every container you have? Could work along those lines:
var yourContainers = ['containerA','containerB']

function createProgressbars = function(container){
 return new ProgressBar.Line(container, {
  strokeWidth: 4,
  easing: 'easeInOut',
  duration: 1400,
  color: '#FFEA82',
  trailColor: '#eee',
  trailWidth: 1,
  svgStyle: {width: '100%', height: '100%'},
  text: {
    style: {
      // Text color.
      // Default: same as stroke color (options.color)
      color: '#999',
      position: 'absolute',
      right: '0',
      top: '30px',
      padding: 0,
      margin: 0,
      transform: null
    },
    autoStyleContainer: false
  },
  from: {color: '#FFEA82'},
  to: {color: '#ED6A5A'},
  step: (state, bar) => {
    bar.setText(Math.round(bar.value() * 40));
  }
});
}

yourContainers.forEach(function(container){
  createProgressbars(container).animate(1.0);
});

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from DIP VERTIGO - July 8, 2020
On WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, STUNNA presents another very special edition of 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE Radio. In this week's installment, he welcomes multi-faceted artist DIP VERTIGO to the show for an exclusive guest mix.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA-based DIP VERTIGO (aka JEREMY EICHBERG) has been a major player in the L.A. DRUM+BASS scene since 2004 when he joined the illustrious GRAPEVINEZ crew. It was there that DIP received his first DJ bookings and started his rise up the ladder. He continued his burgeoning DJ career by playing premiere nights such as RESPECT, BASSRUSH, SD UNION, XCELLERATED, BIG BOOTY BASS, and co-created the TIMELESS DNB brand.

Медицина рада је грана медицинске делатности која се бави стањима и болестима насталим под утицајем фактора средине (нпр. бука, вибрације, топлота, хемијске материје електромегнетска зрачења, радијација итд.) којима је нека особа професионално (у току свакодневног радног времена) изложена. По својој суштини и деловању она је мултидициплинарни област медицине пре свега усмерена на: остварење физичког, менталног и социјалног благостања запослених, заштиту и унапређење здравља запослених, процену ризика на раду и њиховој елиминацији, одржавању и развоју радне способности радника и контроли професионалних болести и повреда на раду.

Овом граном медицине првенствено се баве лекари специјалисти медицине рада, ваздухопловне, космичке и поморске медицине, који су примарно оспособљени за вршење здравственог надзора радних места штетних по здравље, превентивне прегледе радника и дијагностичке поступке, контролу здравља болесника оболелих од професионалних болести. У надлежност ове гране медицине спада и решавање статусних питања радника неспособних за рад на одређеним пословима или трајно оболелих и неспобних за рад.

Основни појмови
Физиологија рада
Физиологија рада, је посебна област медицине рада која проучава утицај рада на физиолошке процесе у организму човека. Она истражује последице које у човековом организму могу настати под утицајем рада у различитим условима. Њен циљ је да утврди како да се истовремено радећи буде здрав, односно како да рад не буде разлог за настанак болести.
 Примењена физиологија процеса рада
Примењена физиологија процеса рада бави се проучавањем оптерећења и захтева рада, док штетности на раду проучава хигијена рада.
 Да би се са сигурношћу могло говорити о утицају рада на човека, неопходно је прецизно (у сваком конкретном случају) одредити о којој врсти рада је реч.
 Потенцијални утицаји рада на организам радника морају да буду тачно дефинисани, како по врсти тако и по интензитету трајању.
 При увиду у рад мора да дефинише садржај и начин рада, средства и матреријал са којим се ради, ритам и режим рада и одмора, радна средина итд. Наакон упознавања са процесом и условима рада добиујају се подаци о врсти посла и могућим оптерећењима, захтевима и штетностма.
Примењена физиологија човека
Примењена физиологија човека је област медицине која се бави се физиолошким функцијама човека који ради. На је условљена сједне стране оптерећењима а са друге штетностима или захтевима рада.
Тежина рада
Било која врста рад којом се човек бави одликује се одређеним степеном тежине. Тежина неког конкретног рада, медицински гледано не би смела да буде већа од оног који одређени појединац може да реализује, а да при том не наруши хомеостазу (психичку и физичку равнотежу) свог организма. Тежину рада по правилу одређује конкретан рад који се односи на психофизичке и друге сопсобности конкретне особе.

Историјат медицине рад у Србији
Пре Другог светског рата у тадашњој Краљевини Југославији донети су први закони о заштити радника и заштите њиховог здравља на раду.

1921. године донесен је Закон о инспекцији рада,

1922. Закон о осигурању радника.

Од 1922 до 1939. Краљевина Југославија прихватила је већину од 63 међународних конвенција о раду.

Период после 1945. године карактерисала је брза индустријализација, и развој великих индустријских предузећа - фабрика у друштвеном власништву. Ове промене пратио је и читав низ законских прописа:

1947. године усвојен је Закон о обавезним периодичним прегледима радника,

1948. Закон о санитарној инспекцији

1958. Закон о инвалидском осигурању

1959. Закон о здравственом осигурању.

Медицина рада у том периоду представља интегрални део организоване здравствене делатности са основним задатком да заштити и унапреди здравље радника и чини саставни део примарне здравствене заштите. Основна функција медицине рада била је превентивна, са циљем да обухвати све запослене раднике.

Поред тога у раду служби медицине рада у СФР Југославији био је заступљен принцип јединства превентивне и куративне медицине у здравственој заштити радника. Поједина велика предузећа имала су веома развијену службу медицине рада у свом саставу која је радницима пружала и куративе и превентивне услуге (на пример "Машинска индустрија" у Нишу).

Седамдесетих година 20. века све више се говорило о "интегралној" здравственој заштити радника, у којој служба медицине рада треба да функционише на основу потреба и захтева производних организација, с једне стране и адекватније се повезује са целокупном здравственом службом, с друге стране. На темељу ових начела организовани су новоосновани диспанзери медицине рада (здравствене станице или службе медицине рада, уколико није било услова за формирање диспензера).

Од 1991. године Србија је, у склопу социјално-економске транзиције, прошла кроз радикалне промене у радном окружењу, укључујући безбедност и здравље на раду, промене социјалне заштите радника и система здравствене заштите, укључујући и службу медицине рада. У транзиционом периоду нестале су структуре и ресурса медицине рада из претходног периода а створене су нове од самог почетка.

Организација медицине рада у Србији
Према Закону о здравственој заштити Републике Србије, и Уредбе о плану мреже здравствених установа у Србији , службе медицине рада организована су на један од следећих начина:
I Здравствена делатност на примарном нивоу
 Служба за здравствену заштиту радника у дому здравља или у приватној ординацији.
 Завод за здравствену заштиту радника. У оквиру завода може се образовати служба за медицину рада (у заводу за здравствену заштиту у Нишу, Новом Саду, Крагујевцу, МУП-а Србије и "Железнице Србије").
II Здравствена делатност медицине рада која се обавља на вишем нивоу
 Институт за медицину рада Србије "Др Драгомир Карајовић".
 Институт за медицину рада ВМА.

NHL to McDavid: "Not Yet. Sid is still our man"
How to tell that Sidney Crosby is still the NHL's best player and that Connor McDavid isn't.
Im not an Oiler fan. In fact I'm quite the opposite. I couldn't care less that McDavid got suspended for some bone-headed play. I really couldn't but it got me to thinking.
I'm definitely not any kind of McDavid sympathizer but can you imagine if he ends up losing the points race by a point and it's because he got 2 games for this after all the shit they have let Crosby skate on in the past.
— Nick (@Nickerjones) February 22, 2019
I really hope Connor McDavid doesn't win the points race… again. The Oilers need zero glimmers of hope. There's been a lot of talk about the changing of the guard in the NHL. McDavid is the best player in the NHL and it's time for Sid the Kid to step down. With the 2 game suspension of Connor McDavid on what most Oiler fans say is a questionable call the NHL basically came out and said "Hey all you fuck heads, Sidney Crosby is still our guy".
Think about it. When was the last time Sidney Crosby was suspended for being a dummy? The answer is NEVER. But here are a few times Sid got dirty and didn't receive discipline and prob would have if he wasn't the best player in the NHL(or if he was Connor McDavid).
This is some, um, interesting defence from Sidney Crosby. pic.twitter.com/6ouCNLEnAV

So basically these videos offer irrefutable proof that Sid the Kid is still the best player in the NHL. Connor McDavid stinks and should quit being a donkey. Also McDavid is a dork

YOU KNOW that post you created yesterday, a week ago, month ago – hell, before WordPress even existed – like a future-knowing badass? And then you published that post? Well, you might have noticed that you seem to get less likes and comments on them.
And there's a reason, not a good one, why that's happening. For some inexplicable oversight on WordPress' technical side, if you have a draft that you then finish and publish, it will publish as if you wrote it the day you created that first draft.
For example, if you wrote a blog post draft on July the 23rd 2018, finished up your masterpiece epic on why the earth is flat and published it today, as far as WordPress is concerned you wrote that on July 23rd and it will publish it to that effect instead of today, in effect meaning it's far less likely anyone will see it apart from your regulars. New posts however go to the top of the queue in terms of posts within your category e.g. writing and have much higher visibility.
Thank you. I'm new to the platform and this article was of great help. I, for one, will be taking that advice.
Thanks for the tip, Fionn! I didn't know that.
There are other quirks – for example when I developed my new site, I took followers with me but not 'likes'.
That's a strange one on the likes vs followers.
I noticed this glitch long back; I had a habit of keeping 4-5 drafts and finishing them much (I still have a draft from 2015! :D). The good thing is that you can republish your post, if you feel it didn't get its chance to shatter the earth and break the internet.
That's true, but still annoying.
True. Maybe it's fixed for paying users?
I haven't spent 200 quid on the business package, but I wouldn't be certain.
Well, how on earth did you unearth that jewel? I never knew of that glitch and that explains so many things. Thanks, Fionn.
I remember awhile back wondering why my post got hardly any interaction, then looked in the feed for writing or whatever category, and there was no sign of it.
Hope it gets you some more traffic!
So all my scheduled posts that were created months ago (to be consistent) will have the visibility of a month old post? That's not cool. So I guess I should copy and paste the scheduled post an hour before WordPress does it for me. Thanks for the advice.
Scheduled posts might be different, but I wouldn't bet on it, keep a track to see how things go.
It's been like that for 5 years lol WordPress tech team must know about it.
This had happened to me!

Q: multiple instances of widget with separated working clickable ImageView I am trying to make ImageView widget, when the user click on the widget, it changes the image.
But the problem is when i have multiple instances, and click on one of them, it changes the image in all instances.
I have tried the code in here:
Updating multiple instances of App Widget in Android
but didnt work.
This is my code:
package com.appwidget.test;

import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;

public class MyWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {

    @Override
    public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
            int[] appWidgetIds) {
        // super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);

        // initializing widget layout
        RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_main);

        // register for button event
        remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgetImageView, buildButtonPendingIntent(context));

        // request for widget update
        pushWidgetUpdate(context, remoteViews);

    }

    public static void pushWidgetUpdate(Context context, RemoteViews remoteViews) {
        ComponentName myWidget = new ComponentName(context, MyWidgetProvider.class);
        AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
        manager.updateAppWidget(myWidget, remoteViews);

    }

    public static PendingIntent buildButtonPendingIntent(Context context) {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setAction("WidgetUtils.WIDGET_UPDATE_ACTION");

        return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent,
                PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    }

}

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.RemoteViews;

public class MyWidgetIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    public static int clickCount = 1;

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        if(intent.getAction().equals("WidgetUtils.WIDGET_UPDATE_ACTION")){
            updateWidgetPictureAndButtonListener(context);
        }

    }

    private void updateWidgetPictureAndButtonListener(Context context) {

        {
            clickCount = 0;
        }

        int drawables = R.drawable.ui1 + clickCount;

A: The method updateAppWidget(ComponentName provider, RemoteViews views) sets the RemoteViews to use for all AppWidget instances for the supplied AppWidget provider.
You want to use this method: updateAppWidget(int appWidgetId, RemoteViews views) which set the RemoteViews to use for the specified appWidgetId.
To do this you will need to keep track of the widget's id
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
        int[] appWidgetIds) {
    final int N = appWidgetIds.length;

    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        // the individual id for the widget
        int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];

        RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_main);

        // pass appWidgetId to the click handler
        remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgetImageView, buildButtonPendingIntent(context, appWidgetIds[i]));

        // pass appWidgetId to the update method
        pushWidgetUpdate(context, remoteViews, appWidgetIds[i]);

    }
}

Then update the two methods to use the appWidgetId
public static void pushWidgetUpdate(Context context, RemoteViews remoteViews, int appWidgetId) {
    AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
    manager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, remoteViews);

}

public static PendingIntent buildButtonPendingIntent(Context context, int appWidgetId) {
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    // put the appWidgetId as an extra to the update intent
    intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, widgetId);
    intent.setAction("WidgetUtils.WIDGET_UPDATE_ACTION");

    return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, appWidgetId, intent,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}

Finally, update the receiver to take the appWidgetId extra and use it for the update call
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    if(intent.getAction().equals("WidgetUtils.WIDGET_UPDATE_ACTION")){
        int appWidgetId = intent.getIntExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
        updateWidgetPictureAndButtonListener(context, int appWidgetId);
    }

}

private void updateWidgetPictureAndButtonListener(Context context, int appWidgetId) {

    RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_main);
    remoteViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.widgetImageView, getImageToSet());

    remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgetImageView, MyWidgetProvider.buildButtonPendingIntent(context));
    MyWidgetProvider.pushWidgetUpdate(context, remoteViews, appWidgetId);

}


Sometimes my lips swell up to several times their normal size. They tingle and burn beforehand and the swelling lasts for a few hours. What's causing this?
The most likely explanation for this would be an allergy to something you are eating but identifying what can be difficult. Common culprits include nuts, wheat, cow's milk, hen's eggs, shellfish, citrus fruits and strawberries. Try keeping a food and symptom diary for a few weeks and you may notice a pattern. Food allergies can sometimes cause the tongue to swell and make you wheezy so make sure you keep antihistamine tablets at hand in case this should get worse.

Peru may just be the world's best mountain bike destination - and its most undiscovered. The ancient Incas may have foreseen the advent of the mountain bike because they built over 10,000 km of trails across their empire, many of them perfect for two knobbies. Experience spectacular scenery, incredible mountain biking, and vibrant Inca culture on this trip!
Mindblowing. That's how most people describe the riding on this trip. You'll ride over 50,000 vertical feet of singletrack on this Ride and experience an incredible country teeming with culture while doing it.
You're hooked on riding off-road and wide dirt trails (atv trails or doubletrack), but still lack the skills and confidence to consistently ride terrain with roots, rocks, tight corners, tight trees and steeps. Singletrack - what is singletrack?
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime on this incredible itinerary that will take you from the Inca capital of Cusco to the lush, thick jungle of Manu National Park. And, unlike the tourist hordes, you'll get acquainted with a side of Peru very few people do - by visiting remote villages virtually unchanged since Inca times and staying in locally-owned lodges - on the best modes of transportation to take it all in: by mountain bike and by foot.
Bring it on! NEW! 2019 WOMEN'S ONLY PERU! Grab your riding gals and experience spectacular scenery, mindblowing trails, vibrant Inca culture all topped off with private post-ride yoga sessions.

Plus, there's lots of together time too, like hiking, easy riding, fine-dining and visiting the world-famous Machu Picchu.


Sir: I have the honor to transmit the annual report of this office for the year 1866, to be laid before Congress.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report of the business of this office during the year 1866.
The foregoing shows that the number of applications for patents received in 1866 exceeded that of 1865 by nearly fifty per cent, and that of 1864 by more than one hundred per cent, and the number of caveats filed exceeded that of 1865 by nearly two hundred per cent, while that of 1865 exceeded any previous year by more than thirty per cent.
The receipts into the patent fund exceeded that of 1865 by more than forty-two per cent, while the expenditures were increased less than thirty-three per cent, and 1865 exceeded that of any previous year in receipts by more than thirty-six per cent.
If the business of the office continues to increase as now, and as it has for several months last past, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the number of applications during the present year will amount to nearly, if not quite, twenty thousand. This very great increase of the business of the office renders it absolutely necessary that the clerical and examining force be correspondingly augmented, and this cannot be done without providing more room than we now have, as every room we have is filled far beyond its utmost reasonable capacity. In some of the rooms the clerks are so crowded that they cannot comfortably do their work, and of necessity they very often and very greatly interrupt each other, which seriously retards the business of the office, and which cannot be remedied in any other way than by furnishing us with additional rooms.
The examiners have suffered great inconvenience, and the public interests great detriment, from the necessity that has existed for several years past of conducting the examination of several classes of subjects in the same room -- for instance, steam-engines and all cognate subjects under one principal examiner with his several assistants, and hydraulics, pneumatics, and wearing apparel, under another with his several assistants, are all crowded into one room. The inconvenience named arises to a great extent from the limitation as to space, but in a far greater degree from the diverse character of the inventions under examination; the exposure to the many applicants of inventions that should be kept private; the discussions in the hearing of both the principal examiners, their several assistants, and of the various attorneys and applicants, of matters which should be known only to the parties in interest, often, doubtless, to the prejudice of justice, and always to the embarrassment of the business of those not engaged in the particular case in controversy.
The draughtsmen, who prepare the small drawings from which the engravings for the illustrations to accompany the Patent Office reports are made, are greatly in need of more room. Six are now employed, and they are at present located in one of the model saloons, between the model cases, with merely a temporary curtain suspended across from one case to another, to shut them out from the view of the many visitors who are daily traversing the saloons. They are thus located because there is no other place to put them, and this difficulty must very soon be increased, as it is absolutely necessary to double the number of the draughtsmen in order to keep up with the increasing business of the office.
In the room in which the drawings of inventions are kept, there are about 100,000 sheets of said drawings in a space originally designed for the reception of about 25,000, and the consequent damage resulting to these drawings from the crowded condition in which they are kept in this room, is a matter of very serious consideration.
Should the business of this office continue to increase -- and it doubtless will do so -- it will soon be entirely impossible to take proper care of the drawings unless more room be furnished for that purpose.
The library of this office has vastly grown in importance within the last few years. It is not only needed and used as an absolutely necessity by the examiners in the performance of their duties, but it is now so much consulted by inventors and those engaged in their interest, by whose money the office has been built up, and who exclusively sustain it, that the want of room and books is now signally felt. It is not an uncommon thing for persons to come from distant parts of the United States to consult books which can only be found here. A careful examination of the catalogues of other libraries shows that the Patent Office collection is now one of the best technical libraries in the world, if not the very best. The high price of gold and the limited means of the office during the war prevented the purchase of many volumes which are much needed. Gold has very much depreciated, and the means of the office are now ample, and there are needed many volumes of necessary works to complete series heretofore kept up, which must soon be purchased or be hereafter bought at a much greater cost, if they can be procured on any terms, and there is really no room for any additional volumes if such were now on hand. The works consulted in this library are, very many of them, of large size, and require corresponding space for their examination. It often happens that every table in the room now occupied by the library is more than covered with volumes for examination, and this, too, in places which should not be open to the public at large.
The want of rooms for the mere deposit of books is so great that many of them are of necessity stowed in the halls, in other rooms, and even piled on the floors. This is an every-day inconvenience; add to this the want of room for consulting the volumes above mentioned, and there will be found a very valuable public institution which is deprived of much of its real means of usefulness for want of proper space for the use of its advantages.
Deeming it to be my duty to call the attention of Congress to the matter of the indispensable necessity that exists for much more room in order to properly carry on the now great and rapidly increasing business of this office, I have, as briefly as I could, made the foregoing representations, in the confident hope that your honorable body will at no very distant day take measures to afford the relief which is so much needed.

MRC releases educational videos on mattress recycling
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION Ryan Trainer, ISPA president, explains mattress recycling laws in three videos produced by the Mattress Recycling Council.
The Mattress Recycling Council, a nonprofit organization formed by the International Sleep Products Association, has released three videos that provide retailers in Connecticut, California and Rhode Island the basic information they need about new recycling laws as preparations for launching mattress-recycling programs in those states move ahead.
Connecticut is the first state to implement its mattress-recycling program, which is expected to start in early 2015. Rhode Island and California will follow a year later.
The first video presents an overview of why the new laws were enacted, who will implement them, who pays for mattress recycling and the retailer's role in the MRC mattress-recycling process.
The second video explains a simple, three-step process that Connecticut retailers can follow to comply with the mattress-recycling law.
The final video introduces Connecticut retailers to the MRC's program coordinator, Justine Fallon. Fallon will work with retailers, transfer stations, recyclers, consumers and other parties to make sure the Connecticut program is a success.
Additional state-specific videos will be produced as the MRC programs evolve in California and Rhode Island.
In addition to the videos, MRC is preparing education materials that will be available online.
"Retailer participation is an important part of the state recycling programs," said Ryan Trainer, ISPA and MRC president. "We need retailers to be fully aware of the benefits that the programs will provide to them, their customers and the states in which they sell mattresses, as well as their obligations under these laws. The release of these videos will help advance this process, so that these programs can be implemented in a consumer friendly, efficient and cost-effective manner."
To view the new videos, visit the Mattress Recycling Council.

Season of innovation at the Lake-Saint-François National Wildlife Area
12 August 2020 VIVA Média No comments
The group called the Friends of the Lac-Saint-François National Wildlife Area has been forced to find other ways of encouraging its members to experience nature this season as COVID-19 health regulations have severely limited the availability of services at the site in Dundee. The not-for-profit organization is mandated with managing the activities on the reserve, which usually would include guided tours and interpretation workshops, geocaching and access to the protected wetland ecosystem by kayak or rabaska, but this year all such services have been suspended. Most of the independent hiking trails remain open, however, and visitors are still welcome to visit the reserve.
"We are working to keep people interested in the site and the mission, while also recruiting new members," says coordinator Karina Leclair. It has not been easy, as visits to the site are hovering at around a third of where they would normally be at this time of year. "We have been refusing requests for groups," she says, suggesting that the site remains a popular destination despite the limitations imposed by the pandemic. And, rather than focus on the negative, Leclair and her team of guides have been busy modifying and adapting their activities on site and online to encourage as much participation as possible.
The organization first launched a question of the day initiative through its Facebook account, where visitors can answer daily trivia questions about the reserve and its many species of flora and fauna. A membership drive was launched to extend memberships purchased this year through the 2021 season. A third initiative saw the creation of a pedestrian rally on the Tower Trail and the Nodding Wakerobin Trail. The family-friendly hikes now features "who am I" style questions on the different wildlife and plant species that may be observed, thus making for an interactive visit to the reserve. Visitor can access the questionnaire online or get a contactless version in person. Entry in the rally is free, and participants who complete the questionnaire will be included in a drawing for a $50 gift certificate valid in the reserve's gift shop or for membership services.
More information on the preventive measures taken by the Friends of Lake Saint-François National Wildlife Area can be found on their website at www.amisrnflacstfrancois.com. The organization, located at 7600, chemin de la Pointe-Fraser in Dundee, can also be reached by phone at 450 264-5908.

Paloma Bruce Singing Studio
Qualifications: BMus (Hons) in Performance Voice - Victoria University of Wellington
Pricing: 1 hour - $80; 45 minutes - $65; 30 minutes - $40; Student prices: 1 hour - $75; 45 minutes - $60; 30 minutes - $40
Styles: Paloma teaches singers who sing opera/classical music, musical theatre, choral music, folk music, jazz, their own songwriting, indie music, pop and rock.
Suitability: Paloma teaches both male and female singers from the ages of 12-99 but occasionally takes younger pupils that are especially keen.
Paloma Bruce is a lyric coloratura soprano who teaches in her Brooklyn studio, Wellington, New Zealand. She is a passionate teacher of singing who after many years as a professional singer in NZ and the UK realised her biggest passion was for teaching. Paloma ran The Paloma Bruce Singing Studio in London and The Bristol Voice Studio in Bristol (United Kingdom) where she taught professional recording artists, touring artists, film and television actors, music theatre performers and opera singers, as well as absolute beginners of all ages. Paloma also taught singing at various schools including the prestigious Colston's School in Bristol. Paloma has taken vocal technique and performance workshops at St. Andrews on the Terrace, the Rata Studios School of Music at Scots College Creative & Performing Arts Centre and at the Bristol Acoustic Music Festival at Colston Hall in Bristol, UK.
Paloma has performed leading roles in operas and operettas in both New Zealand and the UK. She has extensive performance experience, having performed solo to audiences of over 100,000, recorded for radio and television, performed pre-match entertainment for international rugby matches and performed solo with world-class orchestras, choirs and even a dixie band! Although specialising in opera, Paloma enjoys a wide variety of music and enjoys sharing that love of music with her pupils.
Teaching Info
The Paloma Bruce Singing Studio offers private singing lessons to professional/experienced singers and absolute beginners. Students study vocal technique based on the Italian-Swedish school which is adjusted to suit their style of music.
Paloma specialises in helping singers that have technical problems or who have hit a plateau in their development as a singer. Having studied with a variety of teachers and having experienced different techniques and methods of teaching, Paloma is passionate about sharing her knowledge in a way that will help the singer long term. Paloma focuses on teaching her pupils to become masters of their own voices and vocal development. She is interested in helping pupils to feel what they are doing technically and physically, rather than just imitating what they hear, so that they can learn to develop a strong and reliable technique that they trust and enjoy.
Paloma has studied voice with many different teachers and has a compilation of knowledge that encompasses many different styles of teaching. She is passionate about passing on her knowledge, and especially about helping people who have vocal problems. Paloma often helps singers prepare for professional auditions, conservatoire/university auditions and school exams. She has coached many professional singers including opera singers and professional recording artists.
Common problems that Paloma helps singers with include: tongue and jaw tension, confusion over correct posture while singing, confusion over different breathing techniques, problems with clarity of diction, lack of resonance and voice projection. Paloma is very successful in helping people who can't sing in tune, as well as helping experienced singers to use their voice with less tension and more control. Paloma has successfully helped singers recover from and overcome former technical and health problems such as vocal nodules and polyps.
I can't recommend Paloma [and the BVS] highly enough to anyone who is serious about learning to sing, whatever your level. She has done wonders for my singing technique and confidence; her lessons are relaxed yet informative and positive and I always come away feeling I'm improving. With a little under 2 years of tuition I'm singing things I never dared dream I could sing and have discovered a completely different side to my voice. I'm now attending a coaching course for professional opera singers and have been told (on very high authority) that I must have a great teacher!
Abigail Carpenter, a Soprano accepted to study at the Wales International Academy of Voice
Paloma Bruce is a wonderful teacher whose passion for music is only rivaled by her passion for teaching. Her lessons are always the highlight of my week, and during our time together she has helped me to reach vocal achievements far beyond anything I could have hoped for when I first started singing. Paloma's contagious enthusiasm and extraordinary teaching has taken what was at best a nice hobby and transformed it into a very real chance at a singing career. Lessons with Paloma are always a joy; her warm and friendly nature will put even the most timid students at ease. I full-heartedly recommend Paloma to anyone wanting to learn safe and healthy vocal technique, or anyone wanting to take their current technique to the next level. Start taking lessons from Paloma; I guarantee you wont regret it!
Daniel Upchurch, a tenor who was accepted to study at the Royal Northern College of Music in the UK
Paloma is a class act. I have known her for about thirteen years now, and I have watched her transform from a top singer and performer with a world-class career and voice into a wonderful teacher. We kiwis are now very fortunate to have her back on our shores, where we can benefit from her knowledge and years of experience. She has also gained an international perspective and had the opportunity to work with top coaches during her time in the UK and US and she can bring that perspective back to New Zealand. She comes highly qualified, having studied with Honours at the New Zealand School of Music and then going on to train at the Royal College of Music in London. I consider myself extremely fortunate to know Paloma. She made me feel welcome in her studio and her home. I had just arrived back in New Zealand after some time overseas, and she displayed a genuine interest in me as a person and performer. I was offered a scholarship, which made such a difference as a poor student at the time. I had a serious vocal injury, and after working with Paloma on breathing and release, I found the situation improved after the first lesson. From that point, every experience in her studio was a delight, and a wonderful learning experience. She helped me to discover my true, free instrument. It's not an understatement to say I would not be singing today without her. Even as I have moved cities now, she continues to take an active interest in my career and performing, offering input and encouragement. She is a wonderful teacher and exceptional person.

Why is a One-Way Link better than a Reciprocal Link?
Here is a simple answer to a pretty complex question. The search engines view a link to a site as a vote for that site and put a lot of value on it. The most natural way for a site to gain these votes is through a one-way link. For example, Site A thinks that Site B has useful information and will be useful to its users, so it links to Site B. Let�s say you are on the Internet looking for the best medication to take for your cold. You come across a new age doctor's Web site and he highly recommends a new supplement that can be purchased on another Web site, so he provides a link to that Web site.
The bottom line is that the more links/votes a Web site can obtain, the higher the site will be ranked by the search engines.
To demonstrate just how powerful these links are is the real-life example of a large group of webmasters who linked to President George Bush�s Web site using the words �miserable failure�. When users searched "miserable failure" on Google (or many other popular search engines), the president�s official whitehouse.org Web site was the first one to display. Google has since fixed this issue, but you can still search "miserable failure" on Google and find articles of what happened.
Once webmasters figured out that the amount and quality of links pointing to a Web site helped determine how that site ranks, webmasters began trading links with each other. To do so, they would send out a huge amount of e-mail requests asking, "Hey, you have a great Web site, would you be interested in exchanging links so we can help each other raise our rankings on the search engines?. This is known as a reciprocal link. Site A links to Site B, and Site B links back to Site A. This worked great for a while but the search engines quickly caught on. The search engines can easily identify which sites link to whom and thus reciprocal links can be easily identified and are counted very little by the search engines these days.
One-way links on the other hand, are considered to be natural links and not an attempt to manipulate rankings.
Link Building Solutions was created on this principle. We only approve quality Web sites to our program and utilize three-way links (sometimes even four and five-way links) so efforts to increase a Web site's rankings on the search engines are not easily recognized. In fact, another name to better describe our system is a "one-way link exchange".
The Link Building Solutions Program helps quality sites find these valuable one-way links with one another. We find quality sites for you and if you don't like a particular site, you don't have to link to them.

Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Druze leaders gather to call for peace in Ukraine
Dozens of religious leaders from across Israel gathered in Jerusalem Monday to publicly call for peace in Ukraine.
Hezki Baruch
Mar 21, 2022, 4:29 PM (GMT+2)
JerusalemUkraine War
The speakers included His Beatitude Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Sheik Hassan Abu Galion, Rabbi David Rosen, and Muslim and Druze religious leaders, who encouraged Patriarch Kirill to use his position as head of the Russian Orthodox Church to mediate peace talks.
Rabbi Rasson Arousi, representing the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, said "We recite a holy call on behalf of hundreds of millions of believers around the world to stop the killing in Ukraine." He quoted the Prophet Isaiah, "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war anymore."
Sheikh Hassan Abu Galion of Rahat said, "All leaders must choose the path of peace. Anyone who saves one soul is if that person saved the entire world."
This interfaith gathering follows the delivery of an interfaith letter to Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, calling on him to speak with President Putin to seek peace.
The letter was signed 150 Jerusalem and global religious leaders and clergy, including H.B. Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa, H.E. Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Sri Sri Ravi Sankar, Dharma Master Hsin Dao, Grand Mufti Mustafa Ceric and Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem emeritus Aryeh Stern.
At the gathering in Jerusalem, the letter was taped to the gate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The prominent religious leaders, representing the world's major faith traditions, expressed their deep concern with the war and affirmed the key role religious leaders play in promoting peace between Russia and Ukraine.
"This is a moment when religious leaders should raise the banner of peace and do everything in their power to promote it," said Rabbi Yonatan Neril, director of The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development.
The gathering took place on Monday, March 21 at 13:30 pm, across from Moscow Square in Jerusalem, outside of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity.

Gulfstream is ready to start deliveries of the G600 after the aircraft achieved type certification and simultaneously earned a production certificate from the FAA on June 28.
The business jet manufacturer plans to begin G600 deliveries in the second half of 2019, according to an emailed statement. FAA type certification allows G600 operators to fly internationally, as long as the aircraft is based in the U.S. Gulfstream expects to obtain its next regulatory type certification in Europe.
"We are working with other civil aviation regulators. Type certificate validation from the European Aviation Safety Agency should come next," a representative for Gulfstream told Avionics International.
G600's type certification comes following the G500's certification and entry into service late last year. Both aircraft are the first business jets to feature active control sidesticks. The sidesticks, supplied by BAE Systems, are electronically linked by a digital data bus and move in-sync under the control of internal electronic motors.

The avionics configuration for the G600 is identical to that of the G500, with Honeywell supplying the Symmetry flight deck, and a third-generation enhanced vision system built by Elbit Systems. Thales provides the G600 fly-by-wire system, while GE Aviation supplies its power and health management systems, along with the embedded data concentration network.
G600 is the larger variant of the two aircraft, with a 6,500 nautical mile range and a Mach 0.85 cruising speed. It has achieved 11 city-pair speed records, and has a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925. Inside the G600, the cabin is four and a half feet longer than the G500's cabin. The aircraft can seat up to 19 passengers and has a list price of $58 million.
Gulfstream's engineering team performed a total of 100,000 hours of simulated flight testing and another 3,200 hours of actual flying to earn the FAA type certificate. All of the current recorded orders for the G600 are for private jet operators, with no current orders obtained for any military or special missions configurations of the G600 or G500.
