Thank you for your continued support in keeping our community safe.
November 30th, 2021|
IMPORTANT!! Vaccine Information Session for Parents/Guardians of Children (5-11)
Vaccine Information Session for Parents/Guardians of Children (5-11)
Presenter: Dr. Kelly Grindrod, Associate Professor from the University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy
Time: 7- 8:30 p.m.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions following the presentation.
Vaccines are an important tool to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and allow families to safely resume normal activities.
Although children and youth are less likely to get very sick from COVID-19 they can still:
Get sick from COVID-19
Be infected and not have any symptoms
Spread COVID-19 to others
Experience longer-term effects if they do get infected
COVID-19 vaccines authorized by Health Canada are safe, reliable, and can help protect you, your family, and our community from COVID-19. Learn more about the COVID-19 vaccines.
This webpage will be updated when additional information about COVID-19 vaccines for children becomes available.
Can my child get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Children born in 2016 or earlier are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. Find information about how to get a vaccine.
A Parent's Guide to Vaccination (available in 13 languages)
Special Message from the Director of Education – Important COVID-19 Updates
Dear WCDSB Community,
We hope that you continue to be well and that you have had a healthy and enjoyable fall season. We are pleased that, for the most part, our schools continue to be safe and healthy places for learning to prosper. We have not been without our challenges this fall, but with a few exceptions, our COVID-19 case counts have remained quite low and we are so grateful to both our staff and our families for working hard to follow all the necessary guidelines and precautions.
This letter once again brings a few very important updates of which we would like you to be aware as they are important to your understanding as to how things are unfolding and precautions we wish to continue to enforce, so that we may continue on a safe, healthy and positive path as a community.
As you have no doubt heard in the media, vaccination for children ages 5-11 is now ready to be rolled out in the province and within Waterloo Region. The Chief Medical Officer of Health for the Province and local Public Health offer us the guidance, as the experts, that this is our best defense against COVID-19. It will assist in keeping our children healthy, as well as all those with whom they have contact. Vaccinations will be available at Public Health vaccination sites, community hubs, local pharmacies and at a few school pop-up sites (of which you will be informed when they are occurring). A parent's approval will be required for any child 5-11 to be vaccinated and any school-based sites will happen after hours. Parents can begin making appointments as of today.
As a parent you may have questions about the vaccine for children 5-11 year old's. Our local Public Health Unit is sponsoring a virtual parent information session, via Zoom, on Thursday Dec 2nd, from 7 – 8:30 p.m. The presentation, along with a question-and-answer session, will be given by Dr. Kelly Grind rod, Ontario College of Pharmacists Professor in Pharmacy Innovation and Associate Professor, University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy. We would encourage any parent who still has questions about the vaccine to attend this session.
Rapid Antigen Testing for Students over Christmas Break
On November 18th, the provincial government announced that over the Christmas Break rapid antigen screen kits will be provided to any and all students who wish to take home 5 tests to be administered every few days between Dec 23rd and Jan 4th, so that we are better assured a safe and healthy return to school in January 2022, and a safer, healthier coming together with Friends and Family over the Christmas Season.
Sports / Athletics
As reported in previous letters, we have been pleased to see the return of athletics and sport to our schools and for inter-scholastic play to have returned for those age 12 and older. The criteria to play is full vaccination and/or proof of a negative test. This strategy is being used in a very targeted way for students who are not able to use our other usual strategies to ensure their safety – that is – they are unable to ensure masking and social distancing. This strategy has now been endorsed by the province and will now continue for the foreseeable future for us at WCDSB. We are extremely pleased by this decision.
Additional Health and Safety Measures
Also part of the November 19th announcement was the direction that all Parent-Teacher interviews should take place virtually (or by phone). Similarly, schools are asked to ensure that assemblies occur virtually to ensure cohorts are not blending and social distancing is maintained.
Secondary Delivery Model
The province has opened the door to the second half of the year being delivered through a proper serestered model – which is 4 periods or 4 75-minute classes in a day. This decision will have to be supported by Public Health based on cases and other relevant data. At the current time we are hopeful that we will be in a position to return to a serestered/4 period day in February.
Potential Travel
A reminder that students under 12, travelling with vaccinated parents do not have to quarantine per se, but they are not allowed to return to school until 14 days from return have passed. This guidance is found on our webpage. This is federal policy we are sharing.
https://www.wcdsb.ca/covid-19-student-screening-and-testing/
As we have shared before, please know that one of the most important things you do each and every day is to complete the screening tool before you as a staff member or student (or parent of a student) arrive at school. Any individual who fails the screener or who is symptomatic in any way should not be reporting to school. That is part of our collective responsibility to one another.
https://covid-19.ontario.ca/school-screening/
Please review our full Operational Guidelines to ensure you understand how we are continuing to ensure a safe and happy school experience for all.
We continue to be exceptionally grateful for your support and partnership as we navigate this unique year.

WCDSB Board Meeting Bulletin — November, 2021
Monday, November 8, 2021 – Meeting Agenda Package
Monday, November 22, 2021 — Meeting Agenda Package
Pastoral Plan Update
Catholic schools exist to support the evangelizing mission of the Church. Catholic parents send their children to Catholic schools with certain expectations. The overriding expectation is that their child will experience education permeated with religious values, religious instruction and be invited to participate in the sacramental life of the church. They also expect that Catholic values will be held, modeled, expressed, and taught within the Catholic educational community. Our three-year pastoral plan supports and animates the faith life of students and staff in the WCDSB.
Additionally, our Multi-Year Strategic Plan indicates that nurturing our Catholic community will be a priority area with opportunities to bear witness to our faith through joyful discipleship and our relationships with and in Christ as an essential strategic direction. To this end, we endeavor to provide opportunities to live out and inform our faith through implementation of our Pastoral Plan, which is informed by the Ontario Bishops' pastoral letter, Renewing the Promise.
During our 2019 Spiritual Development Day, we celebrated and reflected upon our Year 1 theme, "Called to Belong". While we continued to be unable to gather for larger events last year due to public health protocols, we used a video launch in early October to transition from Called to Belong to "Gathered to Become", Year 2 of our Pastoral Plan. Having been gathered, blessed, and fed in the first two years of our three-year Pastoral Plan, the focus of year three is to intentionally look outward, under the theme "Sent to Build". Our keynote speaker was Fr. James Martin, S.J., who joined us live from New York, and spoke to us about the importance of reaching out to the people on the margins, about the need for compassion and sensitivity and invited us to reflect on how we are living out our vocation in the model of Christ.
The report beginning on page 11 via this link — Meeting Agenda Package – provides a detailed overview of the many events planned for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year.
School Resource Officer (SRO) Program Update
In January of 2021, the Waterloo Catholic District school board contracted Turner Consulting Group to review the School Resource Officer (SRO) Program after the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) halted the program in the region due to expressed community concerns. The WCDSB committed to undertaking a review of the SRO program to determine its efficacy in our secondary schools in relation to its stated goals.
The report surfaced some perceptions and lived realities of the students, staff, and broader stakeholders from WCDSB that did not fully align with the stated goals of the program. From this report there appears to be a strong indication that both the school board and WRPS must take the time to revisit the goals of the SRO program and ensure full alignment to both the goals and the strategic approach that will best support those goals.
On November 22, 2021, the Board of Trustees received an interim staff report on the status of actions taken to date. Next steps in the process include:
WCDSB is in the process of developing structures to track suspension and Violent Threat Risk Assessment data as it relates to racialized students.
The Waterloo Regional Police Service has committed to having all 14 Community Engagement and Wellbeing Branch officers trained in the Violent Threat Risk Assessment program by spring 2022.
Meetings with the Waterloo Regional Police Service will continue over the next 8 weeks (about 2 months) as we solidify our program and delivery support model. The student census data set will be used to determine any required focus for action at a board and program design level.
Senior team members as well as our Chief Social Worker, Mental Health Lead, and school social workers will be attaining a formal certification on Combating Anti-Black Racism through York University. WRPS Officers will also be invited to participate in this certification.
Administrators will be introduced to the "Check Your Bias" checklist which will challenge all to consider how they are working through progressive discipline issues.
The report is available beginning on page 68 via this link: Meeting Agenda Package
Special Education Update
Last year, Student Services focused on supporting Special Education and classroom teachers in the virtual world and supporting schools through new protocols due to pandemic restrictions. The Special Education Liaisons created numerous resources which included educator tip sheets, Virtual Universal Supports, COVID-19 related IEP expectations, Jump Math, Empower, and Lexia for home learning.
The Special Education Return to Learn Website has been accessed more than 5,000 times by staff and more than 200 Learn@Home Kits to support alternative programming were provided. Additional supports include a Google Classroom for alternative programming and numerous opportunities for virtual professional development for staff.
On November 22, 2021, the Board of Trustees received a detailed report focused on the far-reaching work of the following key staff teams:
Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Facilitators
Communicative Disorders Assistants (CDA)
Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP)
Psychoeducational Consultants
Vision Services Team
Special Education Teachers
Special Education Liaisons
Assistive Technology Resource Teacher
Guided by the WCDSB's Multi-Year Strategic Plan, the specific goals of these teams are:
Provide Equitable Access to Learning Opportunities
Improve Secondary Literacy Achievement
Improve Numeracy Achievement
Mental Health Update
The WCDSB's 2021-22 Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan is in alignment with key elements of School Mental Health Ontario's Action Plan during the COVID 19 Recovery Phase as follows:
1) Amplify and promote the protective influence of schools.
2) Identify and address emerging and escalating student mental health problems.
3) Mobilize focused support for those disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
4) Build and sustain strong safety nets.
5) Provide hopeful and aligned communication.
This work supports the overall goals of the WCDSB's 2019-21 Well-Being Strategy:
1) Students and staff feel a sense of belonging and inclusion in their learning community.
2) Students have equitable access to learning opportunities.
3) Building a culture of well-being that supports the success for all in the WCDSB community.
The 2021-22 Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan is focused on 3 key priorities:
Priority #1: Goal-directed planning at all levels of leadership to improve the organizational conditions that will support mentally healthy schools, through a comprehensive approach to wellbeing.
Priority #2: Capacity-building — Building a foundation that fosters inclusion and belonging for all students, educators feel equipped to promote mental health and well-being through evidence informed daily classroom practices and classroom conversations that strengthen relationships, enhance protective factors, and promote specific resilience skills.
Priority #3: All students and parents/caregivers have equitable access to relevant resources that support mental health and wellbeing and can identify and access pathways to Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports when mental health needs arise.
English as a Second Language (ESL) & English Literacy Development (ELD) Programs and Services Update
Since its inception, the Waterloo Catholic District School Board has celebrated the contributions of its Multilingual Learners (MLs) and worked to meet their needs in a variety of settings. Teachers of MLs continue to work in all our schools to support staff, students, and families develop language skills necessary for success in a changing society.
The report presented to the Board of Trustees on November 22, 2021 provided an overview of current data and trends regarding ESL/ELD programs and services.
English as a Second Language (ESL) programs are for students whose first language is other than English or is a variety of English significantly different from that used for instruction in Ontario schools.
English Literacy Development (ELD) programs are for students whose first language is other than English or is a variety of English significantly different from that used for instruction in Ontario schools.
ML/MLs — As the WCDSB moves toward more inclusive language, MLs or Multilingual Learners respects the linguistic backgrounds of our students without centering English as the only language in which one can learn. It celebrates multilingualism as a gift and places an asset lens to which we view students who are adding English to their linguistic repertoires.
Current data indicate a steady increase in the number of students registering at the WCDSB (JK-Grade 12) from various countries all over the world. Many of them have English as an Additional Language Learning program needs, at the earliest steps to proficiency. Many students are arriving to us as Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE) — requiring foundational literacy and language development and orientation to school life in Ontario.
Despite current travel/immigration challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Newcomer Reception Centre (NRC) has welcomed more than 130 students to the WCDSB (newcomers with varying statuses in Canada including refugee, permanent resident, and VISA) this school year (Aug-Nov 2 data).
Support for MLs is articulated in the WCDSB's Board Improvement and Equity Plan for Student Achievement (BIEPSA) as educators are called upon to clearly know the needs of these students and respond to them in a collaborative and effective manner. The board's response to identified and emerging needs is informed and supported by a wide and impressive range of team members (i.e. family members, cultural community leaders, translators, health practitioners, employers, faith community leaders, etc.,) who work in a dynamic and collaborative manner.
Community Planning & Partnerships Guideline
The Community Planning and Partnerships Guideline (CPPG) (Ontario Ministry of Education, March 2015) requires that boards hold at least one meeting per year to discuss potential planning and partnership opportunities with the public and community organizations. The guideline focuses on opportunities to share facilities with community partners when:
Building new schools
Undertaking significant renovations
Considering the use of unoccupied space in schools
Considering properties associated with schools that may close
Sites that may be considered for future disposition.
Further to the provincial guideline, APF012 Community Planning and Facility Partnerships provides a framework to work with community organizations to benefit the Board, students, and the community. The Board must hold at least one meeting per year to discuss potential partnership opportunities. The presentation of this report at a public board meeting fulfils all CPPG requirements.
Proposed new schools, additions, and significant renovations are identified in the Long-Term Accommodation Plan. Ideally, the Board would identify partnership opportunities one to three years in advance of any potential construction start date. In May 2021, capital priorities requests were filed with the Ministry of Education to fund the following building projects:
New Rosenberg CES (Kitchener)
St. Boniface CES addition (Breslau)
St. Gregory CES addition (Cambridge)
New St. Patrick CES (Kitchener)
The New Rosenberg CES has for many years been envisioned as a co-build with the City of Kitchener, as such no further partnership opportunities are contemplated.
St. Boniface CES opened in September 2021 with an on-site childcare and EarlyON centre. The addition would not facilitate additional opportunities.
The St. Gregory CES addition would not allow for co-building based on site size limitations.
The New St. Patrick CES capital priorities request was filed with a proposed childcare centre co-build, and no further partnership opportunities are feasible based on site size.

The Brooks Running Levitate ($150) is an all new, premium neutral trainer featuring an innovative DNA Amp midsole which works in harmony, and we don't use that word lightly, with a flexible arrow shaped outsole. This is a energetic, if heavier shoe, for long miles in great comfort. Levitate has a 8mm drop. Available September 30th.
The weight spec is 11.2 oz/318 grams in men's size 9. Our sample size 8.5 weighed 11.1 oz.
11. 2 oz you say... Isn't that heavy for even a premium daily trainer these days? Let's put the weight aside for the moment as in our first run the energetic smooth ride had us feeling we were in a lighter shoe and certainly lighter feeling and more lively running than many shoes in its class such as the ASICS Gel Nimbus 19 (RTR review), adidas Energy Boost 4 (RTR review), or even Brooks own Glycerin 15 (RTR review), all weighing somewhat less.
The Levitate fit me true to size, with one caveat. The very front tip of the shoe is a bit short and low, the darker toe blue bumper more long over the toes, rigid and lower than I like. I did try them barefoot and there the toe head room and length is perfect making me think it is the height of the toe box and the extended bumper . While new shoes often need some seasoning of the sock liner and knit uppers do tend to stretch on the run I do think they run a bit low upfront.
The starring feature of the Levitate is clearly the DNA AMP midsole. From BASF, the same company that cooked up the TPU heated pellet materials used in adidas Boost, the Levitate uses a completely different foam material, PU or Polyurethane. I have not seen PU in any recent shoes although Salomon will be using it as a forefoot insert in its 2018 S/Lab Sense Ultra 2 (preview here) which is called out to improve durability and consistency of cushioning over time.
Brooks claims that PU provides "unparalleled energy return". To deliver "amplified experience" the PU midsole is encased in a TPU skin. TPU it is used in many ways in the midsole and even uppers and in harder plates in midsoles such as in most Boost shoes, to here as a skin. The skin is supposed to resist horizontal expansion of the midsole as forces are applied to deliver the fullest energy return or more accurately really lowest energy loss possible from the rest of the midsole.
The midsole is beveled at the forefoot with a wider platform on the ground than under foot. At the heel it bevels from the middle in both directions, both narrower under foot and at the outsole but in a less pronounced fashion than forefoot as near the outsole just it front of the rear it also bevels back out a bit. Given the shiny sliver sidewall color difficult to photograph. Not exactly sure what this geometry does but suspect it assists landing and then at toe off allows the foot to roll slightly.
How does this innovative midsole compare to other newer midsoles? Do Brooks' claims hold up?
The term"unparalleled energy return" refers to testing vs. other unnamed materials cited by Brooks. What I can say is that the feel is one of consistent , distinctly controlled, stable, shock free cushion and then well dosed rebound from heel to toe off, at any pace. I think the TPU skin plays a huge role as does the excellent full outsole. The fact the midsole is of a single density contributes to the incredibly consistent smooth cushion feel and energy return.
The cushion is in not as soft as in Brooks Glycerin 15 that I found borderline mushy, especially at heel and not much as much fun to run particularly as slow paces.
It is far more consistent in cushion and transition than the Energy Boost or softer yet Supernova with their awkward off balance weight towards the heel. Levitate's forefoot is also better cushioned and more stable.
It is slightly softer than the Nike Zoom Vomero whose less flexible Air Zoom forefoot I didn't like at slower paces.
it has a firmer far more stable but far more shock free cushion especially at the heel than the Hoka Clifton 4.
The closest comparison in feel might be the upcoming Saucony Triumph ISO 4 (first impressions review here), a shoe with a similar full single material midsole and full stable outsole. While I titled the ISO 4 article "Smooth All Over", Levitate is smoother yet. The Triumph ISO 4 is similarly consistent in feel but one can sense the Everun TPU midsole expanding horizontally, losing forward and vertical rebound more than the Levitate's.
Finally while in a completely different weight class and for a difference purpose, the Pebax foam based Nike Vapor Fly (RTR review) has a similar smooth cushion, silkier yet in feel in a much, much lighter and by all indications also less durable package.. Their built in carbon fiber plate makes determining how much this midsole deflect horizontally difficult to determine. My sense is a touch more.
One could also for sure think of the Levitate as a luxury updated Ghost 10 (RTR review). The fit in terms of width and hold is very similar although the materials of the Levitate are softer, especially noticeable wearing one on each foot barefoot. The heel collar of the Levitate is noticeably more comfortable barefoot. The mid foot hold of the Levitate is a touch more secure, despite having fewer overlays and especially down towards the foot bed although this may change with more miles on the sock liner.
I have only jogged a few hundred yards one on each foot but the Levitate absorbs shock and "returns energy" far more smoothly and effectively than the Ghost with a smoother transition, credit to the DNA AMP midsole and simplified outsole design of the Levitate. The Ghost is more agile maybe a touch more responsive off the heel due to its very thick rubber and is more flexible up front. While early, I prefer the over all smooth ride of the Levitate for the purpose of daily training, despite its extra ounce or so weight and higher price.
The outsole plays a huge role in the overall package. It has a long flex running further back and is a bit stiffer than the Glycerin 15. The outsole appears to be of two grades of firmness with the area forward of the first groove after the arrow (see below) slightly softer.
The heel rubber is somewhat softer than the Glycerin 15's and the forefoot rubber somewhat firmer as best as I can tell. The heel area to mid foot outsole/midsole combination is more filled in with Levitate contributing to the stability The outsole compliments and matches the characteristics of the midsole brilliantly. There is no sense that the outsole and midsole are mis matched in firmness and there is no overly firm or soft landing and no interruption in transitions. All of this contributes to the smooth, consistent ride.
The circular knit Fit Knit upper is sharp looking, beautifully crafted, secure and comfortable except for the quite low and firm front and sides of the toe bumper. There is plenty of stretchy width and no overlays at the metatarsals so wider feet should be happy.
The knit is very soft, dense and lined with an internal fabric, not sure why this fabric is even included. I found the upper quite warm on a 70 degree moderately humid day, Thin diagonal overlays at mid foot provide plenty of mid foot hold and support. The tongue is lightly padded, lace up was once and done a characteristic of most Brooks shoes and something I appreciate.
The Levitate has a unique and fabulous ride. The energy return, or more accurately lack of energy loss, is noticeable yet controlled and occurs without losing stability, bouncing around laterally or vertically, especially at the heel, or getting in the way of forward momentum which is sometimes the case in TPU based shoes. I wouldn't exactly use the word "levitate" to describe the ride, a word I might associate with the incredibly light Nike Vapor Fly, but they for sure ambulate in a very unique and dynamic way. The cushion is outstanding, very different in that usually softness of foam and the amount or stack of it provides cushion but here the cushion is more elastic and smooth with no sensation of softness leading to energy and efficiency loss as I found in the Glycerin.
Transitions are smooth and easy at all paces with no sense of disconnect or hesitation between landing and toe off although as a well cushioned, fairly stiff, long flexing shoe they aren't snappy quick but are very decently agile for their cushion, with some welcome if muted road feel in the forefoot.
At slower paces I wondered if the shoe had to much drop, forgetting it was 8mm. I run in shoes from zero to 10mm drop and here I felt there was a touch more heel lift than I prefer at slower paces. This is a tribute to the combination of PU midsole with TPU skin and outsole stabilizing landings just right. At faster tempos say around 9 minute pace that sensation went away. Drop is just a number really as the materials and how they are engineered into a design provide the effective drop and here to lose weight I believe Brooks could reduce the drop further.
Readers might wonder how I can reach any conclusions after one 5 mile run. With many shoes this is not possible but with the Levitate the picture is clear. Brooks has set a new bar for controlled, smooth energy returning cushion with its new DNA AMP midsole technology. This is a energetic, if heavier shoe, for long miles in great comfort. It is outstanding.
One should not expect the Levitate to levitate... or to be a performance trainer, or something it isn't. There is no question by weight that the the new PU midsole foam with TPU skin, plus the full coverage outsole must weigh more than EVA foam alternatives, and the shoe does indeed weigh more than the competition. The midsole's advantages in consistent yet stable directed energy return, smooth well cushioned but not dead or harsh on the run feel clearly outweigh for me... any perceived weight penalty for its intended purpose of comfortable long miles daily training at moderate paces.
Levitate is a heavy duty, premium daily trainer and one that competes very well, and more miles will tell, but is likely for me is in a hunt for best in category in terms of ride quality, It is in a race with the slightly lighter TPU based Triumph ISO 4 whose more open upper I prefer. It is clearly superior in all respects for me, expect the upper, to Brooks' own overly soft Glycerin.
The Levitate will be a great choice runners who are not gram conscious for every shoe and every run but who seek a long lasting durable and comfortable day in day out trainer with some energy to the ride. Heavier neutral runners and even mild over pronators who are hard on their shoes should consider Levitate due to its wide on the ground platform, full coverage outsole and the expected consistent durability of the PU midsole over time.
I do hope, and expect, that Brooks will come out with "slimmer" DNA AMP models in the future, a performance trainer would be incredible but all in all the Levitate is a great new running new shoe with a distinctly directed and dynamic new midsole the highlight. More to come in a full review.
The Levitate was provided at no cost.The opinions herein are entirely the author's.
Looks like two great plush trainers Brooks leviate and Saucony triumph iso 4. Which would be the most agile, responsive shoe? Which is softer and most versatile? It looks like the brooks would be quite hot in warm climates and at slower paces you mentioned a little unstable??. Thanks.
Hi Anonymous, first both are very stable with the Levitate a touch more stable for me so far. Sorry for any confusion there. I need to run more in the Levitate to determine if it is more agile or responsive than the Triumph but my sense is they are very close with the Levitate potentially a touch more responsive due to the PU foam and the Triumph ISO 4 a touch more agile due to being slightly more flexible up front although both having the same long flex.
Would you recommend the Levitate or the Triumph ISO 4's if I am shooting for a more comfortable toe box. I tend to get irritation on the outside of my foot..sort of have a tailors bunion. Thank you!
I would give the front upper comfort nod to the Triumph ISO 4. Its front of the toe box and toe bumper construction is definitely softer than the dense stiffened mesh of the Levitate. ISO 4 is also slightly less pointy upfront.
Thanks a lot! I definitely want a toe box that is more squared off, so I will keep that in mind.
Great review! I am running my first marathon and wondering which you would recommend for the race, Glycerin 15 or Levitate? I am currently training with Launch 3, and find them very comfortable, more so than the Ghost 8, but after 12-14 miles in the Launch I feel it in my knees. I am 200lbs, 6 ft, neutral runner and planning on a 10:30/m pace for the marathon. Thank you!
While heavier than the Launch, Ghost, and even slightly more than Glycerin I would recommend the Levitate for a marathon at your pace. I think they are more stable and more consistently cushioned with a touch more rebound than the other choices. I do prefer the Glycerin upper to Levitate's but otherwise I find the Glycerin very soft in the heel. Best of luck on your marathon! Let us know how the shoes and race work out.
Hi! Thanks for the information. I have worn Launch for the last couple of years, but I am not a runner, more of a quick walker. How do you think these would do as "walking" shoes? I have a torn meniscus that I don't intend to have surgery on, and hope these wouldn't be too heavy and/or spongy like some others. Brooks tend to give me good support in my knees.
Thanks for writing. The Levitate is not spongy but is a bit firmer than the Launch while being more bouncy responsive than Launch or slightly heavier than Launch Ghost. It is a heavier shoe than either of these two but I would not focus on its absolute weight. I find it very stable and certainly more stable than say the Brooks Glycerin. I think they would be very comfortable walking shoes.
Do they have the similar softness to the saucony triumph iso 4. which is softer/firmer ? Thanks.
Thanks Anonymous! Much appreciated! Glad you enjoy them and I too and wishing and I think it is coming for a lighter AMP DNA midsole Brooks performance trainer.
Sam, as always great review and great insight. I wanted to leave a comment regarding the post which stated that the Glide 8 is heavier than the Levitate. I actually am running in both of these shoes right now and the Levitate is significantly heavier. I weighed both on my kitchen scale and my size 9.5 Glide 8 came in at 10.25 oz, while the Levitate came in at a whopping 11.625 oz. I love the nature of the responsiveness, feel, and vibration damping of the cushioning. The transitions on the Levitate are great as well, but there's no escaping the fact that these things are heavy. I always notice the weight of these shoes, especially on runs greater than 8K.
Between the glycerin & the levitate, which would you recommend for a teacher who stands on his feet all day and walks around the classroom?
Just wondering when the full review for the Saucony Triumph iso 4 will be published. Any further thoughts comparing it with the Brooks Levitate. I heard the Levitate is quite a firm shoe, is the triumph iso 4 a softer shoe to run in.
Ran in the Triumph ISO 4 yesterday and was surprised by how firm it felt. To me it felt much firmer than the ISO 3 which I've put many miles on. In your opinion is the Levitate firmer or softer than the Triumph 4? I definitely don't want to run in anything firmer than the ISO 4 as most of my miles now are slow and easy. Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. May give the Levitate a try.
Seems like the Levitate could do recovery runs just fine but could also be used to go fast. I've been using the Zealots ISO 3 for slower recovery runs but the upper can be a bit sloppy although it's a great shoe too. The Levitate feels more secure.
Thanks so much for pointing out Levitate was missing from our index. It has been added. I believe my longest run in the Levitate was about 10 miles. It is an excellent long run shoe as the cushioning is great and the energy return smooth and consistent. The only caveat is the weight. So for long runs at moderate paces fantastic but I would not run a marathon for example in them unless the only goal was to finish it and at slower paces. I run about 3:40 these days (age 61) and my race shoe of choice is the Nike Vapor Fly, You will see a review for it below. In Brooks for a slower pace marathon I might reach for Ghost.

OBJECTIVE: To review the literature regarding the curve of the cervical spine in normal and injured persons, emphasizing common variations in cervical curvature and their possible clinical significance. DATA SOURCE: A MEDLINE literature search of the English-language, human literature was performed using multiple search strategies relevant to radiography, posture, lordosis, injury, diagnosis and prognosis of the cervical spine (MESH: cervical vertebrae). Additionally, article bibliographies were searched for further relevant articles. No publication time limit was imposed.
STUDY SELECTION: Articles were identified by the author as being directly relevant to the objective and scope of this review.
DATA EXTRACTION: Data was extracted as presented in each original article.
DATA SYNTHESIS: The articles reviewed indicate that a wide range of normal exists in the posture and configuration of the cervical spine. Although kyphotic angulation and straightening or reversal of cervical lordosis are commonly seen following trauma, they may be normal variants. Muscle spasm is a widely used explanation for these variations when seen in patients with pain or trauma. Kyphotic angulation is often associated with posterior ligamentous injury of a motion segment. Prognostic significance of these variations is claimed by some authors.
CONCLUSION: There is little evidence to support the contention that altered cervical curvatures are of prognostic significance. Although kyphotic angulation is associated with anterior subluxation (hyperflexion sprain), it is not a reliable diagnostic criterion for that condition. It is reasonable to assume that straightening or reversal of a previously lordotic cervical curve is the result of muscular spasm, but more specific interpretation is not supported by the literature. More study is needed to characterize the specific dynamics and etiologies involved in the determination of cervical spine configuration.

CyberGhost VPN vs BroVPN 2022
After testing all, we can decleare a winner
CyberGhost is one of the most affordable VPNs on the market — you can get a subscription for as low as $2.15/month. But as is the case with so many cheap VPNs, you get what you pay for. So I wanted to see whether this VPN can really deliver at such a low price. I did a deep dive into CyberGhost's privacy policy and security measures to determine whether it's secure enough to recommend. I ...
Worth every penny, works like a charm, very simple to install.
Needed a VPN due to traveling for work and general bay activities. Dug around and noted this had great... reviews for privacy and ease of use. The fact that I can cover up to 5 tablets, phones, or computers under one plan is fantastic. Each one was simple to set up and I can toggle on and off with ease. Every once in a while a small bug will happen but a quick off / on solves it every time. For the price, ease of use, and effectiveness of it I wouldn't recommend any other product.More

Visiting Atlanta's Center for Puppetry Arts
Topthorn from War Horse (built by
Handspring Puppet Company)
It's easy to make the mistake of thinking of puppets as toys for children. Of course, some are intended for kids, like those adorable little finger puppets in pop-up books. But the tradition of puppet theater dates back to Greece circa 5th century BC, with subject matters addressing cultural, political and social concerns clearly intended for adult audiences.
In recent years, I've fallen in love with puppet theater. Sometimes puppets have been the sole attraction, like Moses in Blind Summit's The Table at the 2014 Ringling International Arts Festival. (Click here to read about that show.) Other times they have taken the stage alongside human actors, like in freeFall Theatre's White Fang and its upcoming production of The Fantasticks. Seeing Topthorn from War Horse at the Center for Puppetry Arts made me seriously regret never having caught that show.
Pahlevan Mil Baz
The mission of the Center is "to inspire imagination, education and community through the global art of puppetry." Sarah and I were enthralled by the Center's Global Collection, which includes all types of puppets from around the world.
Puppet theater often utilizes stock characters that audiences immediately recognize. (Think commedia dell'arte characters like the doctor and the greedy old man.)
An Iranian example on exhibit was Pahlevan Mil Baz created by Mehdi Menati Moghadam in the early 1800s. He is a basic string puppet. The term pahlevan refers to an Iranian hero with athletic skills ranging from martial arts to strength training. Wrestling competitions featuring pahlevans date back to 651.
Pyongan Kamsa
Then there was Pyongan Kamsa, the corrupt Governor of the Pyongan Province of South Korea, created by Master Yong-Tae Park. Although this particular rod puppet was build in 2014, Korean puppetry dates back 2000 years.
American puppet theater is in its infancy by comparison. While I'm sure the tradition dates further back, I learned that Pete Seeger got in on the act in 1939 when he created The Vagabond Puppeteers. The impetus for the creation of the group was unrest between New York State dairy farmers and milk distributors. Low prices were driving dairy farmers into bankruptcy. A dairy worker strike led to a 46% decrease of milk deliveries into New York City, and an ultimate increase in prices for dairy farmers.
Chesse's King Lear (string puppet, 1950s)
While the strike was ongoing, Seeger, three compatriots and 22 puppets put more than 4,000 miles on an old Chevy traversing the state. Their shows included storytelling and folk songs and both raised the spirits of striking farmers and educated the general public about the issue.
None of Seeger's puppets were on display at the Center, but there was a great King Lear (circa 1950s) created by Ralph Chesse. Chesse was an actor and painter who became a puppeteer as a way of putting all his skills to use. The development of puppet shows was the ultimate in creative autonomy, as Chesse did everything from designing the sets to building the puppets to acting all the parts.
His first show was an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet in 1928. In later years, Chesse headed up the Federal Theater's Marionette Project for the WPA. For some pictures of Chesse's productions, click here.
Male with Sunglasses from
Modern Revolutionary Opera
(Chinese shadow puppet, date unknown)
During a backstage tour of the Center, Sarah and I learned a bit about the Center's own puppet theater program. (Sadly, no photography was allowed, and as sneaky as I am I couldn't figure out a way around the rule given the close confines.)
The Center employs two full-time people responsible for building puppets from materials like foam and masking tape. The holiday production of Rudolf the Red -Nosed Reindeer will include 69 puppets and six actors. In addition to the Center's lone full-time puppeteer, the cast will be drawn from Atlanta's acting community. No puppeteering experience is required, but the actors have to be able to sing and dance and be physically fit. (The last requirement comes in because the puppeteers have to do all the work stagehands would do in a more traditional theater production.)
But the Center doesn't only produce family-friendly shows. Its season also includes The Ghastly Dreadfuls, a Halloween-appropriate show featuring stories, songs and dances from around the world, and a full-length production of Ashes, an adaptation of a Norwegian novel about a community suffering from a rash of house fires. A quick trip to Atlanta might be in order.

Kimchi JuiceSam2021-11-05T09:24:09+00:00
Kimchi Juice
What is Kimchi Juice?
Kimchi juice is a by-product of the fermentation process while making kimchi, which is made from fermented vegetables, fish sauce, and a mix of spices. The brine has a salty, spicy, and tangy flavor, similar to that of kimchi and is often used to flavor dishes.
Some Koreans deliberately prepare the recipe in a way that gives out more kimchi juice, which is then used in a variety of other dishes.
Kimchi juice is often used to spice up stews, ramen, fried rice, stir-fries, and even added to beverages and cocktails.
Some popular ways to use kimchi juice in the kitchen include:
Chili Beans
Soondubu-jjigae
Origin of kimchi juice
Kimchi originated in Korea over 3,000 years ago. Originally, the fermentation method began as a way to store vegetables during the cold winters when starvation was rampant. In ancient Korea, the production of kimchi required burying it in earthen or stone jars. However, in the summertime, it was hung deep inside wells to keep it cool. The dish spread to Europe, Africa, and America via Korean immigrants. In recent years, kimchi and kimchi juice have gained more popularity outside of Korea.
Nutritional profile for kimchi juice (1 serving):
Kimchi juice has similar micronutrients as the kimchi it was made in. Therefore, kimchi juice is rich in vitamins such as choline, folate, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, and vitamin K. Also, it is full of minerals like iron and sodium. Kimchi possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Moreover, kimchi is a probiotic and contains lactic acid bacteria, which is essential for digestion and gut health. It prevents gastrointestinal diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, reduces cholesterol, and inflammation. In addition, it can help prevent certain types of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome risks, and aging. Additionally, there is some evidence that consuming kimchi may help in preventing diabetes.
The production of kimchi begins when cabbage (and/or other vegetables) are washed and sliced into small pieces. Then, salt is added and left in to soak for 3 hours during the brining process. To ensure more juice, the brining process should be shorter. After that, the cabbage is rinsed and drained. Next, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, shrimp paste, and water are mixed into a smooth paste, to which the chili powder is added.
Then, the cabbage is added to the paste, and radish and scallions are added as well. After that, everything is mixed thoroughly and then sealed in a jar, leaving some space at the top for fermentation. The mixture is allowed to ferment for at least five days. Only fermented products may be called kimchi. Together with the pickled vegetables, kimchi juice is also produced.
Kimchi and kimchi juice may be stored for several months in a jar or a crock with a lid in the refrigerator.
Kimchi recipes
This is added to different dishes to provide a sour and tangy flavor. It is especially good when paired with Korean dishes or with other hearty dishes that require a spicy flavor profile. Here are some recipes to try:
Kimchi Bokkeum-bap
Kimchi Jjigae
Soondobu Jjigae
Kimchi Jun
Kimchi Guk
Kimchi Gibson
Noodle Stir-Fry
Kimchi Micheladas
Sweet Potato and Kale Tacos
Kimchi Quinoa Bowls
Kimchi Bloody Mary
FDA regulations
According to the FAO, kimchi is a product prepared by fermenting varieties of Chinese cabbage and seasoning mixture mainly consisting of red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, edible Allium varieties other than garlic, and radish. Different states in the US have different laws on selling fermented products. Currently, there is no standard of identity for kimchi juice.

One year on and a major boost for single Sappers at Kinloss Barracks
24th July 2013 by insideMoray
Kinloss Barrack – £800k accommodation improvements.
Doubts soldiers and their families might have had about moving to Moray were quickly dispelled by the welcome they received from the local community and the quality of the environment into which they were moving.
Now the single troops at the Moray base have reason to be happier still, as work on upgrading their living quarters has now been completed at a cost of around £800,000.
Laundry facilities, new showers, toilets and refurbished single-man rooms are now being enjoyed by men and women of 39 Engineer Regiment following the works carried out by the Defence Infrastructure Organisaton, who have also improved safety features on the four accommodation blocks on the former RAF base.
New furniture, carpets and general decoration for 46 rooms has also made the quality of living room much more comfortable for troops such as Sapper Alex Martin, 22 and originally from Plymouth, who is delighted at no longer having to share accommodation as he did at his former Cambridgeshire barracks.
Alex said: "At Waterbeach I shared a room with three other guys, so it is great to now have my own room – I have more floor space, storage and of course my privacy."
The work, which was supported by Lieutenant Colonel (Ret) Chris McGarrell MBE from HQ51(Scottish) Brigade, includes special ground-floor accommodation fitted out for any serviceman suffering from a disability.
Lt Col McGarrell said: "I have to thank the Direct Infrastructure Organisation for deliver an excellent service at Kinloss Barracks. Priority for the move of 39 Engineer Regiment into Kinloss was to improve the accommodation as quickly as possible."
The Regiment have not been in Moray for a year after taking over the former Nimrod base when defence cuts forced its closure.

Abstract: Purpose: To describe variations in anterior chamber width (ACW) and investigate its association with the presence of narrow angles. Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants: We recruited 2047 subjects aged 50 years or more from a community polyclinic and 111 subjects with primary angle closure (PAC) or primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) from an eye hospital in Singapore. Methods: All participants underwent gonioscopy, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and axial length (AL) measurement (IOLMaster; Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany), and anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT, Visante, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA). Customized software was used to measure the ACW, defined as the distance between the scleral spurs in the horizontal (nasal-temporal) axis of AS-OCT scans. An eye was deemed to have narrow angles if the posterior trabecular meshwork was not visible for at least 180 degrees on non-indentation gonioscopy with the eye in the primary position. Main Outcome Measures: Anterior chamber width and narrow angles. Results: Data on 1465 community-based subjects were available for analysis. Anterior chamber width was significantly smaller in women compared with men (11.70 mm vs. 11.81 mm, respectively, P<0.001) and decreased significantly with age (P for trend <0.001). Significant predictors of smaller ACW were lower educational level, lower body mass index, shorter AL, shallower ACD, and Chinese race. Of the 1465 subjects, 315 (21.5%) had narrow angles on gonioscopy. Mean ACW was smaller in eyes with narrow angles compared with those without narrow angles (11.60 mm vs. 11.80 mm, P<0.001). The age- and gender-adjusted odds ratio for the highest quartile compared with the lower 3 quartiles of ACW with the presence of narrow angles was 3.4 (95% confidence interval, 2.3-5.0; P for trend <0.001). Hospital-based subjects with PAC/PACG had even smaller ACW than community subjects with narrow angles (11.33 mm vs. 11.60 mm, P<0.001). Conclusions: In this cross-sectional study, ACW was smaller in women, Chinese persons, and older persons, and was associated with narrow angles in 2 different study populations. These data suggest that a smaller ACW may represent a novel risk indicator for angle closure.

Q: WebRTC: didOpenDataChannel never called, RTCDataChannel not working It "seems" to be quite simple to use data channels... I already have many peers which correctly share audio and video (after the ice candidates exchange phase).
On one peer I execute the following lines:
RTCDataChannelConfiguration *config = [[RTCDataChannelConfiguration alloc] init];
config.channelId = 1000;
RTCDataChannel *dataChannel = [self.remotePeerConnection dataChannelForLabel:@"testDataChannel" configuration:config];
[dataChannel setDelegate:self];

On the same peer's device, I expect to be notified on the just set delegate when the state changes to RTCDataChannelStateOpen.
On the other device, instead, I expect to be notified on the RTCPeerConnectionDelegate, specifically on the method
- peerConnection:(RTCPeerConnection *)peerConnection
didOpenDataChannel:(RTCDataChannel *)dataChannel

Nothing of all this happens... on the first device, the dataChannel's state remains on RTCDataChannelStateConnecting. If I try to create another data channel with the same identifier the app crashes; so I think it really creates the data channel, but for an unknown reason it does not succeed in opening it. May someone explain what is wrong in this process?
