Addressing COVID-19 vaccine concerns in Hispanic/Latino communities
Last updated: Nov 3, 2021
We answer common questions those in Hispanic/Latino communities may have.
COVID-19 is a serious threat that has deeply impacted Hispanic/Latino communities. COVID-19 vaccines are now available to most Californians. For some, this might bring a sense of relief. For others, there still may be concerns about getting vaccinated. Some people from certain racial and ethnic groups may hesitate to seek care. This may be due to distrust of government and healthcare systems that have been responsible for inequities in treatment.
Hispanic/Latino communities have had some of the highest rates of infection and death during the pandemic. The death rate for Hispanic/Latino Californians is 21% higher than the statewide average. In some areas, such as L.A. County, Hispanic/Latino residents are dying at a rate three times more than white residents.
Because of these concerns, many doctors, scientists, and health experts have created resources to help address questions. Here are a few of these experts working towards equity within Hispanic/Latino communities. Their work helps bring concerns Hispanic/Latino residents may have to the state and national level.
Tomás Aragón, MD, Dr. PH, is the director of the California Department of Public Health and the State Public Health Officer. His work focuses on equity and antiracism in public health.
Rita Carreón is Vice President for Health at UnidosUS. She is currently leading a team addressing the public health response to COVID-19. Her work centers on Hispanic civil rights and advocacy.
Yanira Cruz is the President and CEO of the National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA). NHCOA holds town halls addressing vaccine equity. Dr. Cruz has also been featured in the COVID-19 Vaccine Education and Equity Project's work on vaccine education.
Maria Lemus is the Executive Director of Visión y Compromiso. Visión y Compromiso supports promotores and community health workers. They help those in Hispanic/Latino communities get access to care. The Visión y Compromiso site has a section in Spanish with COVID-19 resources.
In addition to listening to these experts, it may be helpful to get more information from a family doctor, promotores, or a community-based organization, such as Visión y Compromiso.
Are the vaccines safe for everyone?
Some people may wonder if the vaccines are safe for everyone.
The National Hispanic Medical Association promotes the collective interests of Hispanic physicians and patients. Their mission is to educate Hispanic/Latino communities about the vaccines. This includes addressing concerns about safety. The campaign also encourages vaccination within Hispanic/Latino communities.
It has announced its#Vaccinate4All campaign. The campaign's mission is to educate Hispanic/Latino communities about the vaccines
Diversity in clinical trials is important. This makes sure that the vaccines are safe for everyone. The clinical trials for all the approved vaccines showed that the vaccines were safe for all participants. In addition, one-fifth to nearly half of clinical trial participants were from Hispanic/Latino communities.
Moderna – 20.5% identified as Hispanic or Latino
Pfizer-BioNTech – 21% identified as Hispanic or Latino
Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) – 45.3% identified as Hispanic or Latino
These vaccines are trusted as safe and effective.
Are all the vaccines equal? Is one better than the other?
All the vaccines are very effective in preventing COVID-19. They also protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. In the trials, all three vaccines resulted in zero deaths or hospitalizations.
Pfizer-BioNTech – 95% effective after second dose
Moderna – 94.1% effective after second dose
Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) – 85% effective after 28 days
These numbers are quite high for vaccines. To give some perspective, flu shots are typically only 40 to 60% effective.
There are resources and FAQs about vaccine effectiveness.
What are the benefits of getting vaccinated?
The vaccines are key for helping to end the pandemic. They offer protection from a life-threatening virus. They can keep people from getting sick. Or if someone does catch the virus, they can reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent hospitalization and death. They also protect against the potential long-term health effects of the virus.
Getting vaccinated might also help reduce the risk of and spread of new COVID-19 variants. These are new strains of the virus. Much is still unknown about the variants. But vaccinating is one powerful tool to help protect against the COVID-19 variants.
For more details, vaccine FAQs are available as a resource.
Is it possible to wait a little longer before getting vaccinated?
The CDC says fully vaccinated people can now visit other fully vaccinated people indoors with no masks or social distancing. So the sooner everyone gets the vaccine, the sooner everyone can see friends and family safely. With each day that passes without getting vaccinated, there is more risk of catching COVID-19. Also, it will take longer to reach herd immunity.
Some people may think those who are vaccinated can't spread the virus. This may not be true. Scientists still don't yet know how well the vaccine stops people from spreading the virus. That means unvaccinated people could still be at risk. The virus spreads even when people don't have symptoms.
Who should get vaccinated as soon as possible?
The vaccines are available to everyone 5 and older. But getting vaccinated is very important for those in the high-risk categories below. People in these groups have a higher risk of hospitalization or death.
Have a chronic condition
Are 65 or older
Live in a home with more than one generation, like grandparents or grandchildren
Are an essential worker with exposure to the public or are unable to social distance at work
For specific conditions or other concerns, a family doctor, pharmacist, or community health center may have more information.
Remember: the vaccine is free for everyone – regardless of immigration status or insurance.
What's the easiest way to get a COVID-19 vaccine?
The easiest way to stay up to date in California is to sign up on the My Turn website. The My Turn site is available in 12 languages, including English and Spanish. Vaccine appointments can be made through the site. Or, an alert will be sent when the vaccine becomes available. If needed, it may be helpful to ask a family member, friend, health navigator, or promotores to help set up an appointment on the My Turn site. Initial supplies are limited. So there might be fewer appointments available at this time. There will be more available in the coming months.
Those who don't have access to a smart phone, the internet, or email can call the California COVID-19 Hotline at (833) 422-4255. The hotline offers services in English and Spanish. The hotline is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A family doctor or healthcare provider can also help. They might be providing the vaccine. They might also know when the vaccine is available in certain areas.

Make sure you clean out your gutters regularly. If they get backed up, water may leak into your attic, which may trigger everlasting damage to your roof. Verify your gutters usually, and give your roof a deep cleansing one or twice a year. That is key to retaining it in nice form. See in case your roofer affords a warranty. Even when you're working with a superb contractor, errors can occur, and you wish to be certain you're covered. Typically, most roofers offer warranties for roof replacements, but not the price of replacements. See what's accessible, consider it while you're deciding who you must work with.
Conduct a radical roof inspection over the entire floor, so you do not miss any drawback areas. The fabric ought to be bonded nicely, and fasteners are secured. If you want to work on a certain space, the material must be clear and dry. Be safe when engaged on the roof to keep away from injury. Roof upkeep and repair are among the many most necessary factors of being a home-owner. But, not every house owner totally grasps the best practices in holding the roof in good situation. Hold studying to seek out out what it is advisable know about the correct care and repair of your roof.
Know all about roofing supplies. Every materials has its execs and cons. For instance, metallic roofing is very sturdy and light-weight. Metallic is troublesome to install and isn't at all times an attractive addition to a house. Asphalt shingling is cheaper and easier to put in, but doesn't last as long. Different sorts of roofing materials to explore are wood and tile. Almost about roof maintenance, most homeowners often neglect changing roof boots. They're close to the roof fence and might get dried out. When the rubber dries and cracks, leaks can form. So, at all times test this area when inspecting your roof.
Earlier than choosing a roofing contractor, receive a number of totally different quotes.
Get contractor referrals from family members. Ask them about their experience with roofers, whether or not they were glad with the standard of service and the value of the job. Also, discover out whether the contractor cleaned when the job was completed and whether a guaranty was supplied. When a vicious storm blows via, you will have to climb as much as the roof to examine for damage. In fact, search for any missing items, be they shingles or flashing. Also examine your gutters for looseness and clogs, and verify nearby timber for any limbs that are damaged and could come crashing down on your property.
Mow your garden the day before your roof is changed. This may also help them easily discover any nails they drop, making things easier on both of you. Short grass also makes a magnetic nail finder work much more efficiently. Just a few times a year, go into the attic and take a look at your insulation. If you discover any of it's damp, you will have a leak from the roof. While you could not have observed any issues from below, checking the insulation will make sure that no additional injury will probably be induced as you possibly can fix the leak instantly.
If you are making an attempt to pinpoint the exact level where your roof is leaking, you'll be able to spray it with a hose and see what areas create a problem. Do not do this methodology within the winter, as a result of it is not secure to spray water on the roof whereas the temperature is very low. If you find yourself utilizing a ladder to climb onto your roof, just be sure you use one that's fitted with a stabilizer. It must also be positioned on a surface that is smooth and solid. In the occasion that you must place it on grass or soil, dig small pits in the earth in an effort to steady it.
Those that stay in colder climates ought to be involved with excess ice buildup on their roof. Ice can acquire under your roof shingles and gutters and trigger serious injury so it is extremely essential to deal with this subject. Make it possible for your roof is properly ventilated and there are ice shields put in in order to stop this drawback. Check your rubber boots in your roof for cracking or dryness. It is a quite common downside that shortly results in leaks around the roof. Happily, they're simple to repair and could be discovered at most local hardware stores. Nevertheless, if you do not feel snug doing it yourself it's best to definitely call a contractor.
In case you can not find out the place your roof leak is coming from, do not despair. Numerous times, people make verbal agreements with contractors, however have problems when the work is poor.


Maybe you've seen some very expensive steaks in a restaurant and wondered what all the fuss was about. Aged beef is, as the name suggests, the process of letting meat age for a period of time to increase its flavor and tenderness. Aging beef isn't just the realm of high-end steak houses, you can easily age beef at home and I am going to show you how.
What's The Beef With Aging?
This is a carefully controlled process where the meat is left for up to five weeks in a refrigerated setting to allow natural enzymes to break down the tougher muscle fibers and connective tissues, making the meat much more tender. Enzymes are also responsible for changing the flavor of the beef to be much more complex, deepening the beefy flavor and adding in new notes not present in fresh cuts of beef.
Dry aged beef is expensive because it has been carefully maintained in a temperature controlled environment for over a month, and because the meat loses moisture (weight) the the price per pound increases. This is in addition to the unique flavor that dry aging produces. All things combined, you've got a steak experience that's worth the price tag.
You may have heard the terms wet aging and dry aging when referring to meat. To understand the difference we need to take a look atboth processes.
Wet aging is when beef is placed in a sealed bag and left to sit in the fridge for a period of time, the assumption is that during this time the meat will stew in its own juices (or a brine if you add salt) transform into a more flavorful steak.
Dry aging is when the meat is exposed to air, oxidizing the fat and meat through enzymatic reactions. There is a large amount of moisture loss with dry aging, and the exterior sections of the beef will need to be trimmed.
In my opinion, wet aging isn't actually aging the beef at all. Covering the beef inhibits oxidation, which is what assists in the aerobic biochemical process. True aging involves exposing the meat to air, which is what gives aged beef a flavor that no other method can produce.
It's true both styles will increase the tenderness of the beef, but only dry aging will produce the flavor profile that makes aged steaks the holy grail of beef connoisseurs. In this lesson I will only be discussing dry aging beef. There's no art in wet aging; stick meat in bag and call it a day - for those up for a challenge, read on!
Can Any Cuts Be Aged?
Probably, but the best cuts to age are from the rib or short loin. Export rib, prime rib, beef ribs, ribeye roast, standing ribs, and a host of other names are applied to the large cut of beef cut from the upper rib section of the steer, which is one of the primal cuts - of which we discussed Cuts Of Meat lesson. For this lesson I am using a rib cut.
In this lesson I used 8 lbs. of prime rib, which is the smallest size you'd want to consider. You can go larger if you wish. To get the most out of your dry aging you'll want a cut that has the fat cap still on, and the bone if possible. This will allow you the most product to work with to conduct your aging.
Can I Age Just One Steak?
No. You need a large cut of beef to dry age since there's a lot of moisture loss and the beef will need to be trimmed to get to the edible section inside the outer shell. If you were to age just one steak, there would be nothing edible left after the moisture loss and trimming.
The three most important things for dry aging beef at home are temperature, humidity, and air circulation. All three are easily managed with a small fridge dedicated to just aging meat, an inexpensive desktop fan, and a large dish for drippings and holding water. You'll also want to get an instant-read thermometer to check your fridge temperature before placing your meat inside.
You might be tempted to forego getting a small secondary fridge, opting instead to just age the beef in your existing fridge that you use for everyday food. Don't do it! Invest in a second fridge.
Using your existing fridge to dry age beef is a terrible idea because there's going to be a smell unlike anything you've smelled before. Image smelly feet standing in a dish of moldy cheese; this comes close to the smell you might encounter when dry aging. The smell of rotting beef sounds gross (and it is), but this means the process is working and enzymes are breaking down the beef and turning it into something wonderful. Unless you want to have all your food smell like this, it's best to keep your dry aging contained in it's own fridge.
Before diving into preparing the beef let's talk about the refrigeration setup, and how all these elements go together.
To effectively dry age beef we need a temperature controlled environment, and constant airflow. Luckily both of those things are easy enough to control, with a small fridge and a compact desktop fan.
Open the fridge door completely and feed the fan power cord through the gap between the door and the body of the fridge. When the fridge door closes the rubberized seal should easily cover the fan power cord - depending on your fridge model you may have to modify your fridge seal to ensure there's good contact around the fan power cord.
The aim is to have the fan at the bottom of the fridge pointed upwards, circulating the air around the enclosure and over the beef.
Temperature is critical when aging beef. If your fridge doesn't get cold enough, bacteria can grow and ruin your meat, too cold and the meat can freeze. The ideal range is 32-39°F (0-4°C), which every refrigerator should have no problem handling. The best way to check this is with a thermometer. Don't trust whatever comes with the refrigeration unit - use a reliable handheld thermometer to give you accurate readings.
With the fan installed and the fridge racks spaced so there's room for both the beef and the drip dish underneath, set your fridge to the correct temperature and allow the appliance to acclimatize. The drip dish here will capture any beef drips that may escape over the first few days, and can also work as a water reservoir if you live in a very dry environment and need a little extra humidity. For my beef I found having extra water in the dish didn't make much of a difference with humidity, so I used it just as a drip catcher.
Depending on where you get your export rib, it may or may not be vacuum packed. Many wholesale butchers will portion the meat into large cuts, vacuum package them to remove the air, and then ship them all over the place in refrigerated trucks. Packaged this way, meat can last weeks if kept in a temperature controlled environment - in fact, this is essentially what wet aging is.
In this lesson I am using 8 lb. of export rib with the fat cap attached, and the rib and as many bones still in as possible (this will allow you the most to work with). The fat cap is critical as it will serve as a blanket over the top part of the meat, protecting the meaty parts underneath during the aging. The fat cap and bones will be trimmed off later, after aging.
Brush the brine liberally to beef ensuring complete coverage, alternatively you can submerge it in the brine if you have enough. The goal is to apply a coating to help cleanse the beef in preparation for aging, not tenderize it in the brine. After applying brine, pat dry with paper towel and place on a clean cutting board.
Your beef is now ready for the fridge, so make sure you have clean hands and that no flies land on it while it's exposed. Flies can lay eggs on raw beef which turn into maggots when they hatch, so keep your beef protected from the moment it's out of the package to when you seal it into the refrigerator.
When you're ready, transfer the beef into the refrigerator and let sit for a few weeks.
The most important factor for the enzymes to break down the meat is time.
Once in the fridge aging the beef needs at least 45 days for there to be a substantial change in the texture and taste. During this time the beef will lose moisture through evaporation and the weight can be as much as 30% lighter.
After about a week you'll start to notice the surface texture looking dark and feeling tough to the touch. Examine the beef for signs of mold or any other grossly unattractive areas. Dry aged beef will have a funky smell, but if done correctly should not be rotten and definitely won't have much (ideally any) surface mold. If you do have surface mold check your humidity and temperature levels to ensure that your environment isn't too moist or warm. Cutting away mold so it doesn't spread is the best course of action, but you're losing product and exposing new beef to air now and will need time to form a dark husk like the rest of the cut. Best to check on your rib every few days at the beginning to ensure it's looking good, then peeking in periodically until the 45 day mark.
After 2-3 weeks the exterior will be a dark, bark-like crust around the entire cut, some areas will be shriveled up and weird looking.
6 weeks in, your beef will have a hard exterior and be a very dark color. You should be able to push on the meat and feel the insides give a little, this is good. There should be minimal (or no) surface mold. The smell should be horrendous - this is good!
After 45 days the enzymes have had enough time to make a noticeable change in the texture and taste of the meat. If you have more time you can keep aging up to 60 days. Because my rib cut of beef was small I decided to halt the aging here and begin trimming.
Now that you've got this funky slab of meat, it's time to trim off the gross exterior and reveal the pristine insides.
It doesn't matter where you start, as you'll see a clear difference in texture and color when trimming off the bark and seeing the pink interior coming through. The fat cap can mostly be removed, but a little fat left on is a good thing (provided it's not rotten).
Continue trimming around the beef, removing all hard bark and exposing the pink insides.
Flip the beef over and continue working on all sides until all the dark and hard exterior has been removed. If you're in doubt just carefully carve it off.
LEFT: End cap of beef showing the hard exterior. RIGHT: Reverse side of end cap showing some preservation.
There will be a lot of waste through trimming the beef, this is partly why it's such an expensive product. Removing meat results in less product than you originally paid for. The results are worth it though, trust me.
It's not just the meat that goes through a conversion during aging, the fat also loses moisture and becomes much harder with a very buttery feel.
After trimming the hard crust and all dark areas of the beef that are unsuitable for eating, it's a good time to take a step back and examine your results.
Take a look at your beef and decide how you're going to cut it into more manageable cuts. If you've got the bones still in then it's as easy as cutting between the bones, but take care as are chine bones that run latterly and will need to be removed first.
Breaking down a large section of rib like this is easy with bones in, since you just follow the length of the bone down to guide your cuts, resulting in large cuts that are best shared.
Before we can start chopping we'll need to remove the chine bone.
The picture above shows where the chine bone was removed. This bone can run deep inside the beef, so use a small paring knife to cut away any connective tissue then work the bone out. After, you can make cross cuts along the rib bone to make your steak cuts.
For any additional meat outside of the bones, or if you aged a cut that didn't have any ribs, make your cuts about an inch thick. Without the bone to support these cuts you can usually remove the fat tail from the steaks without missing much, but the top fat cap however should be left on for additional flavor.
The cuts made from aged beef are likely going to be large enough to feed two people. I find it's easier to prepare and cook a thicker cut of steak than to continue cutting into smaller portions.
These larger cuts are great for stove top cooking, or on the grill. Remember that with thicker cuts you'll need to allow for some additional cooking time, and don't forget your Instant-read thermometer to get the doneness you want.
You've now learned the art of aging beef in your own home, giving those high-end restaurants a run for their money. The process isn't hard, and you can continue to refine the process, dialing in your methods and achieve beefy perfection. Do you have any photos of aging beef at home? I want to see it! Share your results in the comments below.
This class aimed to give you an appreciation for how deep the topic of butchery and meat preparation is, and ways you can approach working with beef in a simple to understand format. These foundational skills will start you on a very rewarding path that you'll hone and make your own over time. With these skills, you'll feel informed at the butcher and be able to identify and break down meats based on your desired meal, all with knowledge and confidence!
Now that you've got the basics down you're ready to tackle a few more areas on your own. How about trying your hand at charcoal instead of gas or electric? What about swapping beef for pork? There's really no end to what culinary creations you're capable of now that you know the basics!


Today, I'm sharing my method of making a pressing board. I love it so much, that I think I may never use my ironing board, ever again! It's perfect for quilters who want to press a block or a seam or to make some quick binding.
For the longest time, I've wanted a pressing board. Not anything too flash or high-tech – just a board that I could keep near my sewing table to whip out and use for a little job and then put away, just as easily.
The other day, hubby was heading to Bunnings (our local Hardware store chain) and I asked him to pick up a piece of plywood. I saw his eyes light up and I had visions of metres of plywood appearing out the back of the wagon. I decided to be more specific and asked him to bring a piece of plywood, no bigger than my cutting mat.
He came home with my piece of plywood and it was the perfect size for what I had envisioned.
I set to work making my pressing board. No time like the present, right?
Do you want to make a pressing board of your own too?
Gather your bits and we'll do it step by step – together. Sound good?
A piece of plywood – whatever size you have available.
2 or 3 pieces of batting. The batting needs to be larger than the plywood board.
A piece of fabric of the outside of the pressing board. I used some home decor weight fabric from Ikea. It's got a lovely retro 70's look about it, which I love.
A staple gun with staples (my new favourite tool).
Some space on the floor to lay everything out.
The first step is to fold the batting around the board and staple it down with that magical staple gun.
The next step is to lay the outer fabric down on the board with the right side facing down.
Fold the top section down and staple it to the board.
Fold the bottom section of fabric up to the board, pulling it tight – but not too taught.
Staple this bottom section of fabric to the board.
Fold the sides over, tuck them under and then staple, staple, staple.
So about 8 minutes after starting, your pressing board should be assembled and ready to use.
Do you have a pressing board?
If not, why not have a go at making one like this. You will love it – I'm absolutely sure of it!
I'll be making a Pressing Board.
Maybe I need a staple gun! I need to make a small one of these for next to my machine but I also have a plan to make one big enough to fit on top of my ironing board and wide enough to take the full width of quilt fabric. That way it will be so much easier to iron my fabric and quilt tops because it will be square! I'll get to it one day!
Great tutorial. I've been wanting to make one too. My friend has one and what she did that might be helpful, is she attached a handle (like for cabinet door) to one end to make it easy to carry to class.
Wonderful idea ... now to get a staple gun!
I made one of these a while again as I was sick of trying to to a 20" applique block on a 11" wide ironing board. They are great. An extra tip cover the back with the grippy stuff that stops things sliding - that way is doesnt move at all when you are working on it. You can buy it by the roll at spotlight and you just staple on on the back - also makes the back look neat too!!
Love it -- thanks for the tutorial, every time I press on my new ironing board it gives under the pressure so I've been thinking a pressing board was the way to go! I'd even considered asking WM to make a wooden top for the old ironing board!
I made one of these a while back, and quickly discovered the only downside is the difficulty of cleaning it due to the staples. I recently made a slipcover for mine with a flap that snaps shut, so when sticky little hands happen to touch it, I can just toss the cover in the wash!

An unorthodox boating calendar
Images in the Bentboat calendar depict damage from hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne and Ivan
Many would rather forget the 2004 hurricane season, but memorabilia collectors, or those just plain awed by a hurricane's power, may be drawn to Sully Sutherlin's 2005 Bentboat.com calendar, which chronicles some of the havoc that Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne wreaked on boats and marinas in Florida and the Caribbean.
"It's a collector's item," says Sutherlin, who had filled more than 1,000 orders for the calendar. "It's kind of a unique Christmas gift."
It certainly isn't the traditional marine calendar featuring stock photography of impeccably restored classic yachts and exotic cruising locales, yet Sutherlin says people are buying it.
"Those hurricanes touched a lot of lives, some in not very nice ways," he says. "But there wasn't anyone [in Florida] who didn't get blown on some. Everybody feels a personal kinship to them."
Sutherlin, of Fort Lauderdale, took the photos of sunken and wrecked boats and boats piled up in heaps while surveying storm damage. His USauctions.com gathers up hurricane-damaged boats that are deemed total losses, and stores them in salvage yards. Then the company auctions them off for the insurer over eBay, the Internet auction site. Sutherlin says he has auctioned more than 500 boats totaled in the four hurricanes that ripped into Florida last summer and fall, and he expects to auction 400 more.
He says he got the idea for the calendar from a marine surveyor who designed one as a gift for his insurance company clients. "He did it as a kind of spoof," says Sutherlin, who decided to do the same for his customers. Then, on a friend's suggestion, he started selling them.
"I've always known that damaged boats are interesting to people," he says. "The media coverage of hurricanes always centers around the wrecked boats." People seem to be drawn to the fiberglass carnage.
The calendar cover is an aerial shot of the Fort Pierce City Marina, which took the brunt of Frances. Inside photos include the Bahamas and Puerto Rico, as well as Fort Pierce, Hutchinson Island and Jupiter Inlet in Florida. Also included are two non-hurricane boat images: a shot of the 157-foot Newfoundland Explorer, which burned and sank at its dock in Fort Lauderdale last April, and a shot of a raceboat that flipped in the offshore powerboat world championships in Key West.
Sutherlin says he plans to move USauctions.com off eBay early in 2005 and use VB-2, a real-time virtual auction for the Internet that enables bidders to see competing bids on-screen right up to the end of the auction and find out immediately who submitted the winning bid.
The Bentboat.com calendar is available for $11.95 at www.bentboat.com.

Why online videos are the best method of marketing?
In the realm of advertising mediums, a commercial video production is undoubtedly the most sure-fire way to reach the global customers within a few seconds. If you know how to make an enthralling and substantive video, then you can certainly thrive the stiff competition. Though you need to spend a chunk of money for video production, but due to its mileage and visibility, companies are willing to spend a hefty amount on this. So, it can be concluded that a video production has utterly changed the company's vision and perception.
You may find many online video platforms which are boasted with various useful and subtly designed videos. Now customers are preferring visual content rather than the simple text and hence, every year more than 1000 billion videos have been viewed by the audience. By simply watching the videos, an audience can clearly understand what is being presented and hence, they don't require putting some strenuous efforts in reading the small printed text. As the audiences are sharing a cordial relationship with the online videos, the companies are also giving priority to the video production and are using the video as one of the core marketing weapons.
Below, we are mentioning why commercial videos are considered as the best method of marketing.
Provides a consistent message: A video always presents a consistent message for all the customers and viewers. A heedfully scripted video of 1 minute is always more powerful than any printed material and delivers more information than any other method of advertising. Videos that are created and conceptualized by the experts will always very informative and most of them are trying to convey some messages to the masses.
Videos are used in many times: Since commercial videos are used in many times both in the television and digital mediums, this will certainly enhance the sales growth of the company. Now, due to the invention of the internet, anyone can see, view or review any commercial video at any time. So, companies are opting for commercial videos for the amelioration of their business and growth.
Motion creates emotion: The prime reason behind the success of commercial videos are most of the videos are usually engaged with the emotions of the viewers and the customers. The perfect blending of sound and images are extremely convincing and that's why audiences can easily get convinced by those videos.
People love to share the videos: Another reason for the success of the commercial videos are nowadays, people love to circulate the videos among their friends and acquaintances. Various social media sites and online video platforms are playing a cardinal role for sharing videos among the people. Many companies prefer to give DVDs along with business cards or brochures to their clients so that the clients can remember them.
So, the videos are truly dominating in this digitalized era in terms of mileage, connectivity and visibility. If a company wants to stay ahead of its contenders, then it must give priority to the video production.

Information Warfare Is Here To Stay
States Have Always Fought for the Means of Communication
By Heidi Tworek
HEIDI TWOREK is Assistant Professor of History at the University of British Columbia and the author of News from Germany: The Competition to Control World Communications, 1900–1945.
MORE BY Heidi Tworek
A wireless station at Nauen, Germany, 1930 German Federal Archives / Bundesarchiv
We often forget that the Internet is not as wireless as it seems. Most online data still flow through physical fiber-optic cables laid out across several hundred thousand miles of ocean floor. If a shark were to bite through a cable (which has happened before), some or all of the Internet could come to a standstill.
These days, however, observers spend less time worrying about underwater fauna than about Russia's submarines, which have been taking a special interest in ocean-bed cables in recent years. Since 2017, Russian submarines in the North Atlantic have reportedly been unusually active in the vicinity of undersea fiber-optic cables that carry most European and U.S. Internet traffic. It remains unclear what exactly Russia is planning or doing. The Russian activity may indicate an attempt to surveil the Pentagon's secret cable network or plans to tamper with certain connections. But the reports also fit in with Russia's global push to shape political outcomes and public opinion through the Internet, whether through Russian-funded news websites or social media meddling.
Russian submarines snooping on undersea cables may seem unique to today's interconnected world. Yet states have long competed to shape global information flows and control the infrastructure that enables them. U.S. submarines started to tap undersea cables decades ago. One submarine, the USS Jimmy Carter, was altered specifically for that task. Indeed, information warfare has been a feature of the international system for at least a century. Competition has simply shifted from the submarine copper wires and global news agencies of the late nineteenth century to the fiber-optic cables and social media of today. The crucial question, then, is not whether information warfare happens but when and why states engage in it.
One of the best examples of a state seeking to influence global politics by reshaping the information landscape is Germany's decades-long push to control world communications in the first half of the twentieth century, a campaign that I explore in my

Acer Iconia Tab A100 review
By Jonathan Bray on Aug 31, 2011 2:09PM
It may have some big flaws, but we can't help but find this little 7in Honeycomb tablet rather likeable.
Until now, if you wanted a Honeycomb tablet, you had to have a screen of 9in and above. Smaller devices have so far been restricted to running adapted smartphone versions of Android, but with the 7in Acer Iconia Tab A100, that problem is left behind: it comes with Android 3.2, which has specific optimisations for smaller screen sizes.
In the case of the A100, the most noticeable change is the height of the System Bar that occupies the bottom 48 pixels of the 1,024 x 600 screen, or 7mm in real money. On Honeycomb tablets with larger screens the System Bar is 8.5mm high.
In use, it means the A100 is almost as easy to manipulate as its larger cousins, with menu options, buttons and bars all perfectly proportioned. It also means the tablet feels as at home in portrait mode as it does in landscape.
The smaller screen means widgets and icons occupy more desktop real-estate, and typing on the standard Honeycomb keyboard is a little more fiddly, but we'd take those small niggles for the sheer portability this tablet offers. It's slim and compact enough to slip into an inside jacket pocket, and reasonably light at 400g.
The rest of the design is perfectly acceptable too. The grey glossy plastic back isn't luxurious, but general build quality is good, and we like the fact that, when you hold the A100 in landscape orientation, the extended ends give your thumbs somewhere to rest.
There are other nice touches: next to the volume rocker there's a lock switch for preventing the screen from auto-rotating, and all the ports and sockets (the 3.5mm audio output, Micro HDMI, and proprietary docking port) are located sensibly on the short edges of the tablet.
So, the A100 matches its larger cousins almost blow for blow, and internally it's also up to scratch. There's no 3G option yet, but you get 8GB of internal storage and a working microSD slot for expansion. It's powered by a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and has 1GB of RAM to back that up, so Honeycomb fair flies along.
Scrolling, panning and pinch-to-zoom operations in the browser are as responsive as you could hope for, and we found standard-definition BBC iPlayer and YouTube videos played smoothly. Some YouTube 720p clips were watchable; others were juddery. The only caveat is that horizontal scrolling animations in the app launcher view seem to shudder as you swipe left and right, but this is more a mild glitch than major irritation.
In performance testing, the numbers back up our initial impressions. It isn't quite up there with Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1, but the A100 is otherwise the match of any Android tablet we've seen. It loads complicated pages quickly and without fuss; the BBC homepage appeared in five seconds on average. The SunSpider test completed in 2,219ms, and in the Android-only Quadrant benchmark, the A100 achieved a decent score of 1,823.
Generally, we're big fans of the way Acer has put together this neat little Android tablet, but inevitably there are some annoyances. The first concerns the screen. It's sharp enough, but brightness, contrast and viewing angles leave a little to be desired.
We measured a maximum brightness of just 239cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 646:1, and colours quickly change hue as you tip the tablet back and forth in landscape orientation.
The next problem is battery life. According to Acer's specifications the A100 is capable of "up to five hours", and sure enough we achieved a time of 4hrs 53mins in our looping, low-resolution video test. That's well short of average for a Honeycomb tablet, and lags significantly behind its main rival for the 7in tablet crown – the HTC Flyer – that managed 8hrs 4mins.
The A100's 5-megapixel camera is another disappointment. Its stills, even in good light, were muddied by chroma noise and heavy compression. Video shot at 720p and 20fps, meanwhile, looked extremely soft and was also spoiled by excessive compression and violent shifts in white balance.
Finally, we found the odd compatibility problem as we went through loading our standard list of apps. Most notably, the Amazon Kindle app crashed every time we attempted to load a book, and was missing critical navigational controls. Hopefully, this is something Amazon addresses soon in an update.
This isn't the perfect tablet, then, not by a long chalk. And with average screen quality, below par battery life and a poor camera, you'd think we'd be ready to stick the boot in.
But the Acer A100 is actually a rather likeable device. It's nice to use, snappy and responsive, and looks even more attractive when you put it in context of the immediate competition. It costs £300 inc VAT, the same as the ageing 7in Samsung Galaxy Tab, and a massive £180 cheaper than the 16GB HTC Flyer. If a 10in tablet doesn't appeal, this little alternative just might.
It has some flaws, but for the price we can't help but like this little Honeycomb tablet.

UTV Utah FUNRZR is Major Success in Helping 5 Utah Families Christmas Dreams Come True.
Press Release 12-28-2020
The UTV Utah star shines bright this Christmas season!
Moab, Utah – UTV Utah did their best impression of Santa Claus this year as they brought the spirit of Christmas back to life through the generosity and kindness of local vendors and members. UTV Utah, the state's largest Off-Road advocacy group with over twenty-three thousand members, raised thousands of dollars in a matter of days to support local families in Moab and other parts of Utah who found themselves in challenging situations due to the recent pandemic. UTV Utah President and founder Bud Bruening stated "We originally started with the goal of helping one family this year. We held a live auction for merchandise that was donated by one of our local vendors through our Facebook group page, and it was extremely successful". Bud continued "Several of our local Utah vendors offered to donate additional merchandise to raffle off to support our goal of helping families here in Utah". UTV Utah officially announced the raffle on Thursday, December 18. Within a few days they had over 20 vendors and hundreds of UTV Utah members participating with the single focus in brightening the lives of these families. The fundraising event culminated with a live on-line raffle on December 23rd, 2020. While the final tally of funds raised is still to come, Bud Bruening was stunned and humbled by the outpouring of love and compassion shown. "We are repeatedly amazed by the generosity of the UTV Utah community. The best part about Christmas is the joy of giving, and the members of UTV Utah and the UTV community gave big" Bruening reflected, appreciating the impact that their efforts will have on the lives of these families.
UTV Utah is planning on using the incredible success in the closing weeks of 2020 to spring into 2021. Chris Tolman, Vice President of UTV Utah is confident and enthusiastic about what 2021 will bring. "We are focused on working with local communities such as Moab, Vernal, Hurricane, and others to identify opportunities to change the perception of the UTV community as a whole". Tolman acknowledged the challenges that they faced, but pointed out that ". . .the vast majority of UTV enthusiasts do their best to be cognizant of the communities that we visit. However a few bad apples quickly spoil it for the rest of us who are doing our best to abide and respect local laws, land use, and property rights. UTV Utah continues to be an advocate for UTVs in Utah as they look to focus on community outreach, engagement, and UTV education in 2021.

5 Things To Know About Trump's New 'Public Charge' Immigration Proposal
by Rachel DeGolia | Sep 26, 2018 | News
From Kaiser Health News, 9/25/18
"A proposed rule from the White House would make it harder for legal immigrants to get green cards if they have received certain kinds of public assistance — including Medicaid, food stamps and housing subsidies. Green cards allow them to live and work permanently in the United States.
"Trump administration officials say the policy would promote "immigrant self-sufficiency and protect finite resources." Critics say it could have serious public health consequences.
"Officials such as California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who has frequently clashed with the White House, are weighing challenges to the rule. 'The Trump Administration's proposal punishes hard-working immigrant families — even targeting children who are citizens — for utilizing programs that provide basic nutrition and healthcare. This is an assault on our families and our communities,' Becerra said in a statement.
"But these actions depend on the final shape of the regulation, which could change through the rule-making process."

Speaking at the funeral of soldier Stelios Pashias who fought at the Turkish invasion and whose remains were located near the Turkish Cypriot village of Templos in 2007, Photiou said that initiatives are being taken at all levels in Cyprus and abroad for progress to be made in the issue.
He referred once again to the stance displayed by Turkey as regards the Cyprus solution and its unacceptable claims, adding that the government and the President continue to advocate our just position based on the international law and the UN Resolutions on Cyprus.
Photiou said that 15 years after the establishment of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus, a total of 800 people are still missing and Turkey keeps on hindering the work of the CMP.
A Committee on Missing Persons has been established, upon agreement between the leaders of the two communities, with the scope of exhuming, identifying and returning the remains of missing persons to their relatives.

Launch of World Nuclear Performance Report 2016 - Asia Edition
Today, World Nuclear Association launches a special update to its 2016 World Nuclear Performance Report focusing on developments in Asia.
The report provides key metrics on nuclear power plant performance and reviews recent developments in the global nuclear industry.
Key findings include:
Ten reactors came online in 2015, more than any time in the last 25 years. Nine are situated in East Asia, with eight in China and one in South Korea.
The construction period for nuclear power plants in East Asia have been consistently low over the last thirty-five years, taking on average 55 months. This is part due to the benefits of on-going construction programs where lessons learned can be applied to subsequent projects.
Nearly two-thirds of the reactors under construction globally are being built in seven countries in the Asia region. A further nine countries in Asia have firm plans to start new nuclear build in the near future.
Nuclear capacity factors in East Asia have been higher than the global average, while those of plants in South Asia have been lower, but have shown steady improvements over the last 35 years.
Speaking at the launch of the report Agneta Rising said, "This report highlights the high standards and performance of construction and operation of nuclear reactors in many Asian countries. As we look to expand nuclear generation worldwide there will be much to learn from their experience."
Even though new build levels are at a 25 year high, the rate of new grid connections will have to increase significantly to support global economic growth, alleviate energy poverty and provide enough clean energy to meet agreed climate change targets.
The nuclear industry's Harmony goal is that there should be 1000 GWe of new nuclear build by 2050, with nuclear generation supplying 25% of global electricity demand.
The World Nuclear Performance Report 2016 Asia Edition is available as a download from the World Nuclear Association website.
Key graphics from the report are also available from the World Nuclear Association website.
The World Nuclear Association is the industry organisation that represents the global nuclear industry. Its mission is to promote a wider understanding of nuclear energy among key international influencers by producing authoritative information, developing common industry positions, and contributing to the energy debate, as well as to pave the way for expanding nuclear business.

What's the price of Catia, really?
As my boss back in the early days of CADalyst said, "Price is news."
Problem is that today most software vendors in our industry don't publish prices. For instance, how much does Catia cost? It has the rumoured reputation of being the most expensive CAD system on the planet.
Plus 18% maintenance per year ($6,246 in this case). He adds that it consists of many modules, and so the price ranges from $9,000 to $65,000 per seat, depending on the modules selected.
Hi, my name is Andy Reilly from the DS CATIA brand and I was part of the discussion about CATIA V6 and the comment from Rick McWilliams was made during our exchanges. It may be of more interest for your readers to look at the complete exchange because it covers much more than a single price for an undisclosed content.
I have no idea if CATIA is "the most expensive system on the planet" but given the range of CATIA V6 capability from mechanical, styling, knowledge, systems, electrical, composites, piping and tubing etc make a comparison of stacking all the product prices together and the saying we are the most expensive is a little misleading.
Price is only one issue Dassault tries to completely ignore.
Catia's CGM kernel allows multi-core processor support. This should give Catia a huge advantage over Siemens NX and PTC Creo and should be shown in direct comparisons using video. Where are the direct comparisons of Catia to NX and Creo when it comes to regenerating parts and assemblies?
Siemens Parasolid is thread safe but thread-safety is only a prerequisite to concurrency.
Both parties failed to include the cumbersome interfaces with Catia. This alone can cost up to 30-40% waste of time in-turn driving the cost, at the business level, considerately higher. [I am including the fact that you will need to buy a $399 spaceball to zoom, pan, and minipulate your model on screen.] Maybe they can utilize multicore but if you can't easily translate your ideas to a Consumer product you will be lagging behind in productivity. I have used Pro/E since 1991 and I thought their interface was poor. Looking back the Wildfire Revision was an awsome step forward. Catia is like what Pro/E was prior to the Sketcher Revamp v12?.
Catia change their core product when they moved from V4 to V5 completely destroying anyone that used the products history. The company I worked for at the time stated after this massive headache that they will never recover from "they wished they had moved to Pro/E". Another interesting factor.. we investigated moving the 80% of the business from Catia to Pro/E and then compared this to moving 20% of the Pro/E business to Catia. Apples to Apples in software was almost Identical in cost. Think about that... O the STEP translators for Dassault Catia was $5000.00 per user. And we could not share licenses globally.
I think the critics for catia are abit misleading. I have used catia for 4 years now and still using it with out any problem. I have used pro-e, NX and working around inventor. I feel Catia lets me be more creative and the model is rugged. No concern for performance issues.
The user interface is almost like anyother, sometimes I feel its better than others. Also the scripting feature lets me customize alot of daily work so that they are just one click away.
CATIA has a great name recognition, and sure it works, but it's not particularly impressive nor better enough than mid range systems to warrant the premium price.
Catia is well worth the money. They have such a huge range of features in one package.
The outrageous price and the fact that the "Value Added Reseller" is coined into that price is aggravating. Not that the competition is any better for the money. I have used Catia and Pro/E and I don't believe that either has made any substantial improvements that are worth the price. What I have found is that because of their pricing it has crippled the small to medium manufacturing industries in most of the western world. That is, unless you are a multi-million dollar company who can afford the cost of the software you cannot compete.
Catia is a whole different ball wax compared to Solidworks -- at least 2x as expensive, and in its current V6 iteration, barely able to exchange files with other CAD systems (because objects are not stored in a normal drawing file, but in an Envia database as records).
OTOH, if you need to provide Catia models to a customer, then it is the way to do. If you don't, then stay away from it!
I don't know what all the fuss is about. You can get Microsoft Paint for free.
There is a student version, it will cost you around 120 euro (1080 SEK for me in Sweden so I assume the price should be around 120 euro). It seems that they let you download Catia V5 for free during august, they have for the last couple of years. All you have to do is register an account and scan your student ID card to validate that you are a student.
I havn't downloaded the program myself yet because I'm waiting for that free summer-offer.
"...the fact that you will need to buy a $399 spaceball to zoom, pan, and minipulate your model on screen."
I've been using CATIA V5/V6 since 2001 and have never used a Spaceball. It is possible to do all panning, zooming, and rotating with the mouse.
Making a comment about so basic a function such as that makes me question the validity of the rest of the post.
catia mouse"ing" all of your zoom and rotations does work. 4 years so far? See how you hold up with all that effort through your right hand tendons, and talk to me in a decade or two about all your carpel tunnel surgeries.
V5 is excellent but when they went over to the cloud with Version 6 it became a major pain in terms of moving files out of the Catia system as some have noted here.
I don't think there is any other software that does NURBS designing like Natural Sketch does.
I really wish I could buy Catia for just BREP modeling, Assembly management and NURBS with a later option for ICEM Surf. I could afford to blow up to $1500 for just the first three.

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab45164 in the following tested applications.
Allopregnanolone is a neuroactive metabolite of progesterone and a barbiturate-like modulator of central gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors that modify a range of behaviors, including the stress response. It is produced in the brain as well as glands such as the adrenals and the ovaries.
ab45164 has not yet been referenced specifically in any publications.
Publishing research using ab45164? Please let us know so that we can cite the reference in this datasheet.
How do you use this anti-body in an ELISA? There should be the other antibody or allopregnanolone conjugate right?
The products are tested and guarnteed in either in direct or indirect ELISA experiments. In these types of ELISAs there is no need for a matched anti-alloprenanolone antibody as the antigen is coated on the plate itself. The anti-allopregnanolone anitbody is then detected using a secondary antibody such as Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (HRP) (ab97051), Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Biotin) secondary antibody (ab97049) or Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (AP) secondary antibody (ab97048) depending upon the detection substrate which you will use.
Thank you so much for your immediate response.
Now, what should i do ? at what concentration of antibody should i carry out my experiment and what is the size(ug)of this lot?
First time we have ordered from abcam and found very unsatisfactory and unexpected service from your company.
The lot numbers are actually not on the datasheet. This info is for company's internal use which can be shared with customers on case by case basis. The lot numbers are necessary to track the backward history of antibodies so these are important.
The lot with conc. 0.6mg/ml has been sold out so we sent new lot which is 1.9 mg/ml. You must be happy because you are getting 3 times more antibody in the same price.
To get working dilution just dilute the antibody and use it as recommended. e.g. for ELISA we recommend it at 4ug/ml which means you will need only 2.2 ul of antibody instead of 6.7 ul if the antibody was at 0.6mg/ml.
I am sure you will not be disappointed anymore. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
Thank you for contacting us. I am sorry for the confusion.
There are 2 different lots for this antibody, which has concentration 0.6 mg/ml and 1.900 mg/ml. The lot you have received is 914826 which has concentration of 1.9mg/ml.
