Fast Romantics are a Toronto-based band first formed in Calgary by Matthew Angus and Je rey Lewis. The son of a piano teacher, Angus drifted in the margins of the Calgary music scene before forming the band with Lewis in 2008. Following some early independent releases the band began work on their first LP, Afterlife Blues (2013), shortly after moving to Toronto, with producer Howard Redekopp (New Pornographers, Teagan & Sara). The album was in some sense a process of discovery for the band, as they grew into their sound, encompassing new influences as Angus began to refine his songwriting. The album's first single, "Funeral Song," was an early culmination of this process, and rapidly garnered an audience via heavy radio play, propelling the band into a year of consistent touring highlighted by prominent slots at Virgin Fest, SXSW and CMJ.


Social and community activists are rejoicing across Seattle this week as long-running efforts to stop the construction of the $149.2 million North Precinct police station appear to have (at least temporarily) prevailed. Late last week, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced that his office and the city council would no longer pursue the development. According to the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog, in conceding to the protesters' demands, Mayor Murray said, "I inherited the [North Precinct] proposal and I made mistake about not stopping [it]," adding that his administration had failed to use the city's "racial equity toolkit" while considering the project. The proposal in question, a 105,000 square foot facility designed by Portland-based firm SRG Partnership, has been in development since 2014 and was expected to begin construction next year with an estimated completion date of 2019. The recent move throws that timeline out the window. Over the last several months, a group called Block The Bunker coalesced to fight the proposal as public outcry regarding the new station, expected to be the most expensive in the country, reached a fever pitch. Councilmember Kshama Sawant, one of the leaders of the Block the Bunker movement, celebrated the group's victory, stating at a rally, "Yesterday, racial, social, and economic justice advocates scored one of the most important victories nationally since Black Lives Matter began in 2014. Our movement has blocked the bunker!" As the opposition to the precinct crystallized, Block The Bunker aligned itself with the goals of Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, with the local group seeing its opposition to expanded investment in police infrastructure as tied to national efforts aimed at putting an end to mass incarceration and the overall fight against racial inequality in American society. The Seattle-based group has built upon BLM's slate of causes by specifically demanding that the funds appropriated for the police station be spent instead on 1,000 units of affordable housing. It is unclear if the city will bend to those demands, but after the activists took control of a City Council meeting Tuesday night, their calls for reform grew more pointed. Speakers reiterated the group's push for other political objectives, including blocking the construction of a new youth jail as well as stopping the city from hiring more police officers. Either way, the Bunker isn't dead yet. According to Sawant's comments, the City and City Council are still planning to build a police precinct in North Seattle eventually, with the measure only being only temporarily tabled until next year. For more information, follow Block The Bunker's website.
Seattle is in the process of replacing their outdated North Precinct building, but under the project's current cost estimate the new structure will set the city back $149.2 million. Even after a recent cost reduction (down from an original estimate of $160 million) that will make it the most expensive police building in the country. Among the recent cost adjustments to the original plan were the removing one level of the parking bay, opting out of finishing the basement, and removing rooftop solar arrays. Construction costs are expected to number $92.5 million, while development costs will run $52.6 million. Another $14.3 million was allocated for the cost of land acquisition as well as the cost of relocating the site's current tenants at Aurora Avenue North and North 130th Street (namely, a car dealership and several office buildings). The high cost of the new building has raised red flags for many residents. According to The Seattle Times, the project was initially only expected to cost $88.5 million, and the new figure might still be more than the city can afford. The Times points out that the city is also badly in need of new sidewalks, which the city claimed not to have the money to build. The Portland-based firm SRG Partnership is leading the architecture and design team, having won a Request for Qualifications in 2014. Turner Construction, which is headquartered in New York but has a Seattle office, will be the general contractor and construction manager. The predesign phase started in 2014. Plans for the new precinct building call for a 105,000 square foot facility with a life span of 30 to 50 years. The building will accommodate projected staff growth through 2038; it will also be used by the community in emergency situations and will be built above typical standards for withstanding an earthquake. LEED Gold certification is another goal for the project. The current schedule calls for construction to begin in 2017 and finish in 2019. The Seattle city council is expected to approve the design, but may require further cuts to the overall cost.

Road Safety Review – More New Laws?
Posted on: July 29th, 2019 by O'Garra's in News
The Government has published new plans to make the roads safer for everyone. The plans include several changes for people at every stage of life, and also for more specialised drivers like HGV drivers and motorcycle riders.
The Department for Transport has granted funding of £225,000 to Good Egg Safety to develop a training course for fitting child seats. This is in response to information that most parents don't know how to install a child seat in their car correctly.
Additional funding will go towards developing educational resources for schools and researching road safety for children with special education needs.
The largest at-risk age group on the road is young adults, so the Department for Transport is considering ways to make young drivers safer. This includes consulting on several new learning and licence schemes; the potential use of Graduated Learner Schemes pre-test, and Graduated Driving Licences post-test.
These schemes and licences are used already in the USA, Canada and Australia. The pre-test scheme imposes requirements for a learner before they can take their test, usually a certain number of hours of instruction. The post-test scheme involves restrictions on a new licence for several years or until a certain age.
In California, for example, new drivers under eighteen cannot drive unsupervised at night, carry passengers under 20 unless supervised, or use mobile phones including hands-free devices.
One change along these lines recently in the UK was for the revocation of a new driver's licence, meaning they have to re-sit their test. This revocation applies if six penalty points are acquired within two years of their test
Driving tests will also continue to be updated to take into account technological changes, similar to the recent move to include satnav driving in the test.
The Government will consult on the use of penalty points for people who don't use their seatbelt, as well as the current fine. This consultation comes as a result of 27% of fatalities on the road in 2017 involving people not wearing a seatbelt.
Portable breathalysers are being developed, meaning police officers will be able to take a sample that is good enough for court proceedings at the side of the road. At the moment a preliminary test is taken by the roadside and an official test has to be taken at the police station. The proposal would free up officers for other duties quicker.
The Government is also researching the feasibility of 'alcolocks'. This is a device which immobilises a car until someone under the limit blows into a tube. These would be introduced for those convicted of drink-driving to try and prevent re-offending.
New cycling offences are also being considered so that those who cause serious harm can be dealt with in a similar way to those who cause serious harm by driving.
The second-largest at-risk age group on our roads are the elderly; the Government will continue to fund Mobility Centres for those who are unable to drive, most of whom are sixty-five or over.
Safety tests will also be updated to use old-age crash test dummies, as well as female dummies. This is in a bid to reduce injuries in those groups by allowing cars to be designed differently.
A consultation will also be launched into whether to require drivers to undertake mandatory eye tests at seventy, and upon licence renewal every three years thereafter.
Drivers who drive for a living are already tightly regulated by the use of tachographs and more stringent testing. The Government will consult on banning tyres older than ten years, as well as on changes to side guards, which protect pedestrians and cyclists if the HGV changes direction while alongside someone.
The Government will develop a new training regime for bikers, including a compulsory theory test before they can ride on the road, and changes to the current CBT (Compulsory Basic Training). They also plan to develop post-test training further and increase the uptake of this Enhanced Rider Scheme.
Better protective equipment is also under development, and the SHARP system of rating helmets is being continued and improved. The Government are also working with the UK protective clothing industry to understand how to encourage riders to wear the best equipment.

His family includes, his wife Linda; two daughters, Melinda M. and Kirt Overmyer of Plymouth and Abigail L. and Julian Cox of Whitestown, Indiana; four grandchildren, Nicholas Knoblock, Tiberius Cox, Leonidas Cox and Paige Overmyer; along with one great-granddaughter, Alexandra Knoblock. Also surviving are two sisters-in-law, Helen Shorter and Ruth Shorter both of Plymouth with numerous nieces and nephews.

Rick Caruso to Lead USC Board of Trustees
Rick Caruso
Los Angeles real estate developer Rick Caruso has been elected chairman of the USC Board of Trustees while he oversees an investigation into the alleged misconduct of a campus gynecologist and reporting failures by USC.
Caruso, a member of the board who leads a committee probing a series of sex and drug scandals that has rocked the university, had announced May 25 that USC President C.L. Max Nikias had agreed to step down.
The West Los Angeles billionaire immediately succeeds John Mork, who completed his five-year term as board chair.
"Our most fundamental duty is to protect the dignity, safety and well-being of our students on their own campus," said Caruso, a USC alumnus and current USC parent, in a statement. "What happened to our students is unthinkable and immoral."
The USC Board of Trustees also moved to begin a search for a new world-class university president.
This month, the Los Angeles Times revealed that Dr. George Tyndall, a former campus gynecologist, had been quietly let go by the university last year after allegations of inappropriate contact and conduct towards female patients.
Only after the newspaper report were student complaints reported to police.
Last summer, the Times also exposed a former USC medical school dean, Dr. Carmen Puliafito, for alleged substance abuse in the company of drug addicts and criminals, in addition to seeing campus patients while under the influence of drugs.
After the university provost confronted him, Puliafito resigned as dean but still remained on the faculty and continued to conduct eye exams on campus for more than a year until the Times story published. Then, within days, USC fired him.
Puliafito's successor, Dr. Rohit Varma, stepped down last fall after allegations surfaced that he sexually harassed a campus researcher years earlier.
The special committee run by Caruso has retained Los Angeles law firm O'Melveny & Myers to conduct an investigation led by Apalla Chopra and Steve Olson. The university hopes to wrap up the investigation before students return in the fall.
Caruso, a resident of West Los Angeles, is chief executive of Caruso, best known for developing such retail centers as The Grove in Fairfax and Americana at Brand in Glendale. This month, the Business Journal ranked the Los Angeles civic leader and philanthropist 19th among the wealthiest Angelenos, with a net worth of $4.8 billion.

Thank you so much for the website and videos! I have a ameteur musical background in woodwind instruments from my school years. I recently became aware of the Cajon and fell in love! I have never played any type of percussion instrument but with the help of your excellent tutorials I am picking it up and am already jamming with a local band after only a week.. I know I have alot still to learn- It is great to be able to just jump right in and actually play. I am having a blast!This is truly a remarkable instrument and you are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing your passion, expertise and talent with the world!
Wow nice msg thanks very much, made me smile! Appreciate your thanks and so happy to hear you are finding my videos and lessons useful!
I just found your videos on Youtube (and then your site here) and may I say you are an awesome cajon player and percussionist! I am very impressed and inspired by your playing. You clearly have rhythm in your soul!
I played percussion/drums a lot through my school days (including 3 years in drum corps) and it was my passion. Then as an adult I haven't played for years. About a year ago I am getting back into playing percussion and drums and really loving being back in touch with my musical side. I bought my first cajon a few months ago and love it. What a great, versatile instrument!
I am playing in an acoustic folk/rock style band and I find that it's nice to mic the cajon to pick up more nuance and greater range of sound from the instrument. I am curious, how do you mic your cajon? What mic do you use? Do you use two mics, from behind and in front, or just a single mic in front?
Would be great if you wrote a post about this. I also want to agree with some comments on your videos that you are an excellent teacher and have a gift for teaching. I wish you all the best in this new venture. Thank you!

Want to get faster and fitter as you rack up the miles? Follow this all-star advice.
Hang around serious runners enough and you'll pick up a few tidbits—how to pace yourself, which routes have the cleanest bathrooms, what to wear when the weather is changing more rapidly than an Instagram feed. We asked coaches, trainers, nutritionists, and veteran runners to share their strategies. Steal them to run longer, feel lighter, and stay injury-free.
"Consistency is key to a successful program. A daily run helps improve your body's ability to burn fat, along with your biomechanics. It also teaches your mind to blast through any challenge, whether it's physical or mental."
"I started as a Team in Training charity runner, having lost loved ones to cancer. When I'm struggling with my training plans, I remember those who are still fighting their battles, those who have survived in part because of the money raised and those who have been taken from us."
"Get a good sports bra or you'll feel it with every step. Body Glide balm and socks too. Nothing kills a run like a blister about to pop."
"Finish runs feeling strong and happy, not worn-out. It'll keep you coming back for more and help you reduce injury risk."
"Write down your workouts, then color-code how they made you feel: yellow for amazing, orange for just OK, and red for total crap. It's a visual way of seeing how your body responds and will help you pick up patterns. For example, if you're always orange or red around your period, that's a sign that you should be doing lighter workouts on those days."
"Use a foam roller three times a week to improve flexibility—it helps reduce injury better than static stretching."
"Always dress to run like it's 10 to 15 degrees warmer than it is. As soon as you get out there and get moving, you'll warm up and be glad you didn't put on so many layers."
"Steer clear of happy hour the day or two before a race or big training session. Alcohol significantly impairs sleep quality and hydration levels, as well as recovery."
"In order to get stronger, your body needs time to rebuild. Mix easy days with tough, and avoid pushing when your body needs a break."
"Compare yourself with yourself. There will always be someone faster and leaner and who looks more like a runner than you do. Focus on the improvements you want to make for yourself."
"For seasoned runners, having caffeine before running has been shown to make workouts seem easier—and help the body burn calories more efficiently. Aim for about 3 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight: For a 150-pound woman, that's about the amount in a 16-ounce coffee."
"Never accelerate down a hill. The breaking forces on your body can destroy your knees."
"Running can be such a solitary pursuit, but there is a real benefit to making a connection with others—and no better way to do that than by running together. Websites like meetup.com can help you find local groups. Or you can just stop in at your local running store and ask."
"Tell people your goal. Post it on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Call your mama. Putting yourself on blast keeps you accountable."
"Set a goal to complete a longer race (13.1 miles, 26.2). The crossing of the finish will change your life!"


Aaron Abernathy really grabbed us with his debut – and on this second set, he's maybe even tighter and more his own self than before – moving past the guests who helped draw attention to the previous record, and really standing strongly in the spotlight on his own! Aaron composed, produced, and arranged the whole set – but what's most important is his voice – this kind of crackling sound that demands attention, and which really has the kind of urgency to fit the lyrics of his songs – which again, maybe feel even more his own than before! Instrumentation is nice and lean – often strong on drums from the man himself, plus a bit of keyboards – augmented by some extra bass and percussion, but kept with this sharp focus that really matches the needs of the tunes. Abernathy's the kind of soul singer who should be huge – if there was any justice in the world – and we're hoping this second set is really the start of a path to greatness. Titles include "Children Of The City", "Human Action Matters", "Generation", "Restrictions", "Now A Days", "The Villain In Me", and "Daily Prayer". © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc.

It's Easy For You To Say: Rowan James and the emergence of 'impairment-laden' work by disabled artists
I recently caught an ITV news item celebrating the "ordinary heroes of Britain." An eight-year-old disabled child was put on the spot for being 'inspirational' for completing a triathlon. It was notable because the lad was much too sharp to be fooled by media patronising bollocks: "I don't even know why I've won an award. Anyone could do it." His response caused immediate embarrassment to the news presenter and to the boy's father and he was...
Katherine Araniello and Simon Raven do 'The Golden Gherkin'
Unveiled in the same week that the UK government scrapped the Independent Living Fund (ILF), a debate about the artistic merit of Damien Hirst's 'Charity' (2003 - 2004) ignited on Dao's FB group. A 22-foot painted bronze likeness of a Spastics Society (Scope) charity collection box from the 1960's-1970's depicting a sad disabled child, the press lauded it as a statement about disability rights and exclusion. Why? Because in Hirst's depiction, the giant...
Sadcrip/ supercrip: two sides of the same coin
Logging on to Dao's FB group can be a reminder that we are living in a regressive period where Disability Politics is concerned. It can often feel as though the Social Model understanding of our lives as disabled people has taken several steps backwards. The Dao FB group has grown to nearly 3,700 members, increasingly attracting individuals from every corner of the globe. It's an open forum with an increasing number of posts, linking to journals and blogs that present a dilemma...
Highlights of 2014: with thanks to DaisyFest, Together, Unlimited and DaDaFest
Firstly I'd like to wish a Happy New Year to all Dao's readers and contributors. Last year we got out and about a fair bit, spreading the word about the disabled artists who engage with the disability arts sector through being a part of events, over and above the usual work we do of reporting on events and supporting artists through networking. Firstly last June there was DaisyFest in Guildford, which featured two of Dao's writers Penny Pepper and Allan Sutherland. Both...
Colin Hambrook posts the debate from FaceBook group on disability art and Identity
Last week DAOs FaceBook group was the site of a raging debate about disability, art and identity. Between 19-27 November members of the group posted something in the region of 15,000 words in 122 posts. Responses were passionate. It was a valuable debate testing the validity, or otherwise of Disability Art, a Disability Arts Movement and of definitions of being a 'disabled artist'. Many of the contributions question the social model ethic of 'self-definition' and the validity...

Application of mixed-model techniques to fish breed improvement: Analysis of breeding-value selection to increase 98-day body weight in tilapia
Graham A E Gall, Yosni Bakar
A post-selection analysis of a three-generation selection experiment was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of using estimated breeding values as the selection criterion for the improvement of body weight at 98 days of age. Two replicate selection lines and a control line were derived from a common base population. Fixed effects of generation, line, sex and tank, as well as the fixed-effect interaction of the generation with line, sex and tank, were the significant factors determining performance. The estimated heritability of the 98-day weight was 0.20 ± 0.04, while the maternal direct-genetic and full-sib group effects as a proportion of phenotypic variance were 0.02 ± 0.02 and 0.09 ± 0.02, respectively. Although phenotypic means varied from generation to generation, the genetic gains calculated from the estimated breeding values were 2.61 ± 0.05 and 2.42 ± 0.37 g per generation for the replicate lines, which is equivalent to a 40% improvement in just three generations. Additionally, although the randomly selected control line showed a linear increase in performance of 4.10 ± 1.27 g per generation, the change in the average breeding value was only 0.27 ± 0.01 g per generation, indicating that the increase in performance was due to improved management and/or adaptation to the culture environment. The post-selection analysis clearly demonstrated the superiority of the mixed-model approach to selection, with the potential of increasing the selection response by 20-30% above the value expected from simple mass selection.

Heat maps are a great way to compare categorical data using color. In Tableau, you create a heat map by placing one or more dimensions on the Columns shelf and one or more dimensions on the Rows shelf. You then select Square as the mark type and place a measure of interest on the Color shelf. You can enhance this basic heat map by size-encoding and/or shape-encoding the cells in the table.
The following exercise walks you through using a heat map to explore how profit varies across regions, product categories, and customer segments.
Drag the Customer Segment dimension to Columns.
Headers are created with labels derived from the dimension member names.
Drag the Region and Category dimensions to Rows, dropping Category to the right of Region.
Headers are created with labels derived from the dimension member names. You have now created a nested table of categorical data (the Category dimension is nested within the Region dimension).
Drag the Profit measure to Color on the Marks card.
The measure is automatically aggregated as a sum. The color legend reflects the continuous data range.
From the Format menu, select Cell Size > Square Cell.
Increase the mark size by pressing Ctrl+Shift+B. Hold down Ctrl+Shift and continue to press B until the squares are large enough.
These cell formatting options are also available when you select Cell Size from the Format menu.
In this view, you can see data for only for the Central region. You must scroll down to see data for other regions. Or you can maximize the Tableau Desktop window.
In the Central region, office machines seem to be the most profitable category, and bookcases the least profitable.
Drag the Sales measure to Size on the Marks card to control the size of the boxes by the Sales measure. This enables you to compare absolute sales numbers (by size of the boxes) and profit (by color).
Use the scroll bar along the right side of the view to examine the data for different regions. Notice what's going on in the International region.

You are the coolest person I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Awe levels sky rocketing!
Cheers Mint, you're pretty special yourself. When you get back I'll get to work on some redhead specials just for you!
Yo! Yeah, I was planning to have them meet exactly edge-to-edge but then after a bit more work on them it all seemed to fit together better with an overlap. So, its kind of unintentional, but I did aim to keep the overlap mirrored on both sides so it can work as a bit of a feature. It would probably go better next time with a little "L" tab at the bottom so the overlap is still there but the laces can sit a little more 'relaxed'. The cotton layer is just some 100% stuff from Klegs, its pretty thin, but it seems to have held up so far.

President Kenyatta says he disagrees with the Supreme Court ruling that nullified his re-election but will respect it.
Addressing the nation on Friday, President Kenyatta said that the decision of 45 million Kenyans cannot be annulled by six people (Supreme Court judges).
At the same time, he called on Kenyans to maintain peace and live as neighbours.
He said that they are ready to face their competitors in a repeat vote in 60 days.
"We are ready to go back to the people with the same agenda that we delivered to the people," he said.

Sport And Self Defence Go Hand In Hand At Adrenaline!
Self-defence is your best weapon to combat any unwanted approaches or attacks. Adrenaline offers women-centred courses that provide the best sporting chance to defuse aggressors with physical and verbal training techniques. These group or individual self-defence programs take place on the Gold Coast and topics covered include preventative methods, fight or flight theory and how to attack swiftly and effectively if the need calls for physical self defence.
The fine art of self defence involves a highly physical and innately theoretical approach that provides your best sporting chance in the event of unwanted attacks.
Adrenaline helps keep the women in your life equipped and protected with its offer of female-focused professionally conducted self defence courses.
These sessions will not only keep you fit and active, but also expertly designed to boost confidence levels and improve self-esteem.
Why is sport good for you?
Playing or engaging in sporting activities is beneficial in many areas of life and at every age. The most obvious one is to improve fitness and individual skills. A sense of teamwork and social camaraderie is also developed beyond the sporting field, which helps to build lasting friendships united by a common goal.
Team sports, such as soccer, football, cricket, tennis doubles or any group activity, also provide a training ground for diplomacy. It is important to not only win but also lose with dignity, respect and tolerance for your team mates and opposition. This is also an invaluable lesson imparted to all participants in how to deal with challenging, difficult or even traumatic situations in real life.
The development of physical, mental and social skills acquired by playing sport ultimately equates to an overall healthy lifestyle. This is particularly evident in increasing wellbeing skills on an individual and team basis.
How does physical activity improve your wellbeing?
Being physically active not only increases endorphins, which are natural hormones produced by the body that improve mental wellbeing. But on a physiological level, regular activity also boosts cardiovascular fitness and increases muscle tone.
Physical fitness also acts as a defence against illness by strengthening the immune system and empowering self-belief and innate abilities to overcome life's trials and rejoice in its tribulations.
Increasing your physical fitness levels also helps to combat the effects of ageing and thereby promoting better long-term health.
Which sport is best for self defence?
The Fight Back! Women's Self Defence Group Session and for individuals on the Gold Coast offered at Adrenaline provides the verbal and physical arsenal to defuse any unwanted approaches or even potentially violent attacks.
The professional instructors will guide you technically and with physical training skills to combat potential aggressors who are physically stronger and larger than most women.
The all-important attributes you will acquire during this course will also provide essential flow through in all aspects of life, both mental and physical.
You can book these self defence programs online at Adrenaline or purchase a gift voucher for the lady in your life to redeem this invaluable protection and combat course.
Adrenaline gift vouchers start from $25 and can be used to redeem any of the 2500-plus experiences on land, air or water throughout Australia.

The College of Education building provides a renowned and exemplar teaching facility for staff and students as well as enhancing the University's devotion to providing excellence in teaching by its embodiment as an icon for education.
The new signature building brings the College of Education to the heart of the Old Dominion campus, giving new identity to the cornerstone of the University. The L-shaped building will house public and collaborative spaces containing classrooms, staff and faculty offices, and multi-purpose rooms.
The building is comprised of two four-story wings connected by a five-story tall tower composed of precast and glass cladding. The tower serves as the focal point of the building, with tall two-story height areas serving multi-purpose and theater spaces at the first and third levels. Structural steel braced frames were selected as the lateral system for cost efficiency and were carefully coordinated with building functions and circulation, with many unique geometries and connections required. Project deliverables were completed using Revit to contribute to a fully integrated Building Information Model during the design and construction processes. The $42 million project was completed in 2016.

COVID-19 sewage surveillance labs join the hunt for monkeypox
Published on 11/08/22 at 08:55am
Wastewater surveillance techniques are being adapted for use in monitoring the spread of monkeypox across the San Francisco Bay Area and numerous other US communities.
These techniques emerged as a crucial tool in the early detection of COVID-19 outbreaks.
Prior to COVID-19, risk monitoring of wastewater in the US was limited to research purposes/academic pursuits.
At the beginning of the pandemic, a research collaboration which involves scientists at Stanford University, the University of Michigan, and Emory University pioneered efforts to recalibrate the surveillance techniques for detection of COVID-19, which marked the first time that wastewater has been used to track a respiratory disease.
The same research team, the Sewer Coronavirus Alert Network, or SCAN, is now a major leader in expanding wastewater monitoring to detect monkeypox. Monkeypox has now infected over 26,000 people globally, and more than 7,000 across the US.
According to NPR, the SCAN team envisions a future in which wastewater serves as a reservoir for tracking new public health concerns. "We're looking at a whole range of things that we might be able to test for," said Marlene Wolfe, an assistant professor of environmental health at Emory.
"We're still really on the front end in terms of discovering the potential here," said Heather Bischel, an assistant professor in civil and environmental engineering at the University of California Davis, which included wastewater monitoring as part of its Healthy Davis Together COVID-19 testing program for the campus and surrounding community. "But what we've seen already shows that this type of monitoring is adaptable to other public health threats."

DokuBaku Film Festival is underway in Baku.
The festival aims to encourage Azerbaijani filmmakers to create documentary films and participate in festivals.
Three movies, including "Harmony" by Lidia Sheinin, "The Swedish Theory of Love" by Eric Gandini and "Oleg and the Rare Arts" by Andrés Duque have been already screened at the festival, Trend Life reported.
The movie "Harmony" by Lidia Sheinin was demonstrated on October 13.
The movie tells a story of an old Russian lady who has to share her apartment with her niece and four children.
The festival was followed by the screening of the movie "The Swedish Theory of Love", that digs into the true nature of Swedish life style.
Famous Italian-Swedish director Erik Gandini attended the event.
His visit to Baku aroused great interest of the youth. The screening was held at a full house, and then Eric Gandini answered numerous questions.
The screening of "Oleg and the Rare Arts" movie was hosted by professor of Baku Musical Academy Zumrud Dadashzade.
"Oleg and the Rare Arts" is about the legendary composer, author of music for many films and plays Oleg Karavaychuk conquered the audience with its sincerity wonderful music.
DokuBaku is the first international documentary film festival in Azerbaijan, which takes place in Baku on October 12-20.
The idea of the first ever international documentary film festival in Azerbaijan belongs to director Imam Hasanov and producer Veronika Janatkova.
The theme of this year's festival is "Testing the Reality". The festival consists of main and competition programs.
The audience are presented 15 domestic films and 17 foreign films from Germany, Italy, Russia, the Czech Republic and other countries.
The 4-day international workshop "My street films", organized in frames of DokuBaku will be concluded with screening of 2 movies made during the workshop by the participants.
Film screenings are taking place in cinema halls and cafes around Baku.


Happy Friday my dear friends. Even though we have summer showers in our forecast today, I'm patiently waiting for my clock to hit 5:00 so I can start my weekend. It's my second long weekend in a row and I'm looking forward to keeping it low-key and spontaneous. That's the best way to spend summer weekends!
Today I wanted to kick off a new series on the blog to address a topic I think many lust after: creating cohesion in their space. Over the next several months there will be all kinds of insider tips to taking your home to the next level. So many of my friends are in the same boat: they still have some of those college furniture pieces that have definitely seen better days but they also have some great things they have invested in. How do you mix and match those pieces and still make your space seem "finished" or "adult" and not a hot mess? So far, I have a list of my favorite five things you can do to tidy up the loose ends in your home and feel confident about your space, including my favorite, selecting a color palette.
To start us off though, I'm keeping things really simple. The first step of any project is to clear out the clutter. Did you buy that vase just to take up space? Get rid of it. Has that rug been a hand-me-down for a couple years? Pitch it. To make it super simple for you, here is an easy checklist to follow.
1. Did you buy it?
2. Did you buy it because you love it?
3. Was it gifted to you by someone special?
4. Does it work (if it's an appliance or electronic)?
5. Does it evoke memories or happy feelings?
6. Is it appropriate for some room or space in your home?
Comb through your shelves, drawers, and hiding places. If the items you find don't meet most of these, I strongly encourage you to donate it or sell it in a garage sale. Do not keep things that you feel obligated to keep. If something doesn't fit your style but is still in great shape, offer it up to a friend who may love it. (But don't make them feel obligated to take it either! No one likes an instigator.) More often than not, your home is filled with place holders - impulse purchases or "this wall needs something" purchases that have little purpose or meaning.
Clearing out the clutter will make you feel lighter and less stressed. It's proven that not having a focal point, a place for your eyes to rest, can increase anxiety levels. Isn't it bizarre that the one place we are meant to feel most relaxed could actually be stressing us out?! So this is the first step. Lighten your load, then come back to see part two.

On the Sitecore Intranet site that I work on, I use implicit SSO login using the user's windows credentials. It works by hijacking the NoAccessUrl (6.5 uses this) and LayoutNotFoundUrl (7.1 uses this) to point to a page that handles the implicit login and redirects the user to the original requested page. This worked great except for when query parameters were needed on the page. Example: People Profile page uses id as a query parameter to look up the employee's information. In cases like this, the user typically received a blank page and had to click the link a 2nd time in order to reach the requested page (once to login and another after login). The problem was that Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.ExecuteRequest didn't pass along any of the existing query parameters. It only passes along Sitecore query parameters such as item, user, site, etc.
In order to resolve this problem, I had to override the existing ExecuteRequest with a custom version. In the custom version, I added logic to append the original request parameters. In the SSO Login side, I needed to make sure the original request parameters were appended back to the original request. In order to not display the Sitecore query parameters, I wrote logic to exclude them from the original request.
In order to grab the original parameters excluding the Sitecore added parameters in the SSO login, I wrote a method which grabbed all query parameters that weren't in the ignore list. Note: I use the NoAccessUrl, etc. as a way to know what action triggered the redirect, so I have some parameters that others will not.
Part two: Handling access rights on Media Library items. Yes, another custom override needed! COMING SOON!


ive just recently been to dubai.
The people were so kind and open.
I really liked how this little african baby just kept staring at me.
And all the head covers they have and scarves and them elegant long cloaks Muslim women wear are a mystery to some foreign girl like me.
Rode a roller coaster with a Jewish family.
Also visited synagogues and mosques.
I rarely find the time to work out lately so im catching it up with some shopping haha. I still cant feel the moment when 2017 is ending. I had a lot of ups and downs this year that made me teary eyed but grateful. Also I met some people with beautiful souls and got some friends whom I think will never leave me. Theres nothing quite left to say either when you have 411 likes and 43 follows just in a years time. I miss LA and travelling in general. Hope to go on a trip soon by myself. Tomorrow I go to the woods with my friend Anna. I hope our trip would be fun. I miss writing letters in Japanese too to my pen pal. Haha. So many things you missed out doing because you were working the iron cage. So anyway catch ya later. Thanks for reading. You are wonderful and amazing.

Economist: India 'Scuttles' WTO Trade Talks
Los Angeles, CA – India "has apparently chosen to scuttle the 'good ship' WTO-Bali, the first truly multilateral agreement achieved since the founding of the WTO in 1995," says Dr. Kent Jones, professor of economics at Babson College in Massachusetts.
"This is not the only ship in the WTO fleet, but it is the only one of its kind that has been successfully floated under its multilateral negotiating mandate. It is now taking on water, thereby endangering the entire multilateral trading system," says Jones, a published author and an acknowledged expert on trade and policy issues who served as a senior economist for trade policy at the US State Department.
India, said Jones, "agreed last December to accept a deal in Bali that combined new rules on trade facilitation with a 2017 timeline on reconciling WTO agricultural rules with India's food security policies."
Trade facilitation provisions, he said, "would combine reductions in red tape and improvements in customs logistics with aid for developing countries' trade infrastructure. The lion's share of economic welfare gains, estimated at $1 trillion, would flow to developing countries, most of which are not amused at India's decision to renege on the deal at the last minute."
India's system of food subsidies and stockpiling, Jones asserts, "currently runs afoul of WTO agricultural rules, but beyond that requires a wasteful domestic bureaucracy and market distortions that cannot help the poor in a sustainable manner. In addition, it cannot improve agricultural productivity, which is what is really needed for a lasting solution to its food security problem."
Nonetheless, he adds, "the Bali deal set a moratorium on challenges to such policies until 2017, by which time negotiations on reforming the rules could take place. In the interim, alternatives and compromises could be considered that could allow India's food security policies to coexist with WTO rules for global markets."
The new government "feels that this timeline is not good enough, and hopes to hold the globally popular trade facilitation deal hostage in order to force a global agricultural deal immediately that will make its current policy legal under WTO rules. India professes to support trade facilitation, which only lays bare its cynical strategy to renege on its earlier commitments and blame everyone else for failing to re-negotiate," Jones says.
"DESTRUCTIVE BRINKMANSHIP"
India's "strategy of brinkmanship appears not only destructive to the WTO's credibility as a negotiating forum, but to India's global interests as well. Most major trading countries are so furious at India for breaking its word at Bali that many are planning to implement trade facilitation outside the regular WTO framework, through bilateral, regional or 'pluritaleral' agreements," he says. "Global WTO agreements are the best way to expand trade, but countries have already shown that they will strike their own deals if WTO negotiations break down."
According to Jones, "These initiatives outside the WTO would deprive India of any leverage in pursuing agricultural rules reform in its favor, while forfeiting its potential leadership role among developing and emerging economies. Brazil and China, in particular, reportedly criticized India's veto."
Without a deal forged in Bali, the "peace clause" preventing disputes against India's agricultural policies would be suspended, which could lead to trade sanctions. India's export industries would also suffer from abandoning the WTO negotiations. It stands to lose a lot from this misadventure," he asserts.
"Indian trade diplomats insist that they have presented viable compromise measures that could lead to a new deal in September," says Jones.
"Diplomats can always walk back from the brink, but it seems clear that there will be no fundamental renegotiation of what was agreed in Bali last December. By throwing rocks in its own harbors, India's economy will remain tethered to a costly protectionist regime, while the rest of the world will seek other shores—and negotiating venues."


The riding tips on these pages are my personal opinion about matters related to motorcycle riding. They are not the official position of any organization, and are for your consideration only. They are not hard and fast rules, they should not necessarily be applied in all circumstances, and they should not be applied without thinking. Always use your judgement and take all current safety factors into account while riding. You are responsible for your riding, not anyone else (especially me). These tips were originally published by a motorcycle riding course, called "Tip of the Week" (the reason for the TOTW in the titles).
Your bike depends on traction, to move forward, stop, turn, and stay upright. Traction only comes from one place — the contact between your tires and the pavement — and there is only a certain amount of it available. Loss of traction contributes to most falls and many collisions.
There are a number of factors that consume some of your available traction, some that you can't control and some that you control directly.
The factors you can't control are surface conditions. Slick surfaces such as oil, water, or ice reduce traction. Loose surfaces such as sand and gravel can behave like slick surfaces, depending on your tires and the size and depth of the loose material. Finally, the angle of the surface affects traction. Gravity is pulling your bike straight down, and traction is maximized when the road surface is at 90 degrees to this pull, meaning perfectly level. If you are on a hill or a banked road surface, some of the force of gravity will be trying to pull you across the surface, so you are using up some traction just staying put. The greater the incline, the more traction you're using up and the less is left for other purposes.
Of the factors you control, the following consume some of your available traction.
Braking requires traction, and many riders have experienced at least a loss of rear-wheel traction when braking hard. The harder you brake, the more of your available traction you are using up.
Turning requires traction. Whenever you are turning, the principle of inertia means your bike would rather be going in a straight line. Holding you on your curved path requires some of your available traction. The tighter the curve and greater your lean angle, the more traction you consume. Now how fast you are going matters — higher speeds consume more traction when you are turning.
So, taking all the above factors into account, when do you have the most traction available? When you're not consuming it by doing any of the things listed above. Your available traction is maximized when you are upright, on a flat surface, traveling in a straight line at a constant speed.
The "constant speed" part is not intuitive — many people instinctively slow down in a slippery situation. But, as we discussed above, the process of slowing down is just a kind of acceleration, and costs traction. By all means slow down if you're going too fast, but ideally do it before you hit the low-traction situation, not after you're already on a slick surface or in a curve. Even after you're in a low-traction situation, slowing down may be a better option than continuing at higher speed. Just be aware that it takes some of your available traction to do so.
That's in a straight line. If you are turning, speed matters, and you have more traction at slower speeds.
This is one of the reasons why excessive speed is so dangerous — if you find yourself in an emergency situation, slowing down consumes some of your available traction. If you were already going a safe speed, this traction would be available for other uses in dealing with the emergency.
As we've implied above, through the repeated use of the phrase "your available traction", it's very useful to think of traction as a quota. You only have so much, and the total available doesn't change. Everything you are doing that uses traction takes some out of your quota, so if you use some up for turning, there is less available for braking.
When your quota is exhausted, you slide (and probably crash). So, if over-accelerating or over-braking causes your tires to lose traction, there is also no traction available to hold the bike in the turn you're trying to make. Conversely, if you're using most of your traction to hold a fast or tight turn, you may not have enough left to brake hard when that deer steps in front of you.
By thinking of your available traction as a quota, you can learn to think about managing the quota. Remember how the factors you can control affect your quota — turning hard and braking hard at the same time, for example, generally don't mix.
For the factors you don't control (e.g. road surface) you may be able to have some influence by looking ahead and picking a better path (e.g. around an oil slick). Essentially you're trading off things you control (turning) for things you don't (that slippery patch).
For factors truly beyond your control, remember that your quota has been reduced and plan to accelerate and brake more gently, turn less aggressively, and corner more slowly.
Let's use the idea of a limited quota of traction to think through some riding situations.
Sand or Oil on the Road. A small patch of something slippery on the road is an area of very low traction, and beyond your control. If you can safely avoid the patch by changing your path, you should do so. If you can't avoid the patch, slow down before you enter it (don't make traction demands by braking on the patch), and position yourself to have the straightest possible path across it (to minimize the traction demands caused by leaning). If possible, get all these adjustments done before arriving at the slippery patch, then cross it at a constant speed and in a straight line. You're making the smallest possible demands on available traction, so you should navigate the slippery patch safely.
Riding Through a Tight Curve. When riding through a tight curve (such as on a twisty back road or a track) remember all the factors that take traction from your quota. Your bike will be leaned over at the tightest part of the curve so, ideally, you would like to be making no other demands on your traction quota at that time. Adjust your speed, slowing to your cornering speed, before you enter the curve, while the bike is still upright, and go through the deepest part of the curve at a constant speed if you can safely do so. The slower you go through the curve, the less traction you are using up. As you leave the curve, accelerate gradually, adding gas as the bike comes back upright.
Riding in the Rain. Wet streets are an unavoidable slick surface covering a large distance. (Note that traction is not constant. Areas that would have been slippery before the rain will be even slipperier now.) Since you can't control the road conditions, reduce your other traction demands. Slow down so you won't have to brake as hard later. Accelerate and decelerate more gently. Take corners more slowly, choose wider paths through the curves, when possible, and shift your body weight slightly while turning, to reduce lean angle.

Wicked work from the great Sky Saxon – an early record that really gets at the sheer raw power of his best work! Despite the title, the album's hardly a straight set of blues – more a blend of hard rock, psychedelia, and rootsy influences – in the manner of some of the earliest work by Love, but perhaps with more of a Chicago electric approach. Saxon wrote most of the tunes – and titles include "Moth & The Flame", "I'll Help You", "Cry Wolf", "The Gardener", and "Creepin About". © 1996-2022, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Welcome to the Safer Recruitment Consortium website
Safer Recruitment Consortium
Accredited trainers' area
Safer recruitment training became a statutory requirement for Head teachers and at least one member of every appointment panel in schools in response to the Bichard Inquiry (Soham). Originally overseen by the NCSL (National College of School Leadership) and then CWDC (Children's Workforce Development Council) the content was prescribed and the course could only be delivered by trainers that had undertaken specific training to be 'accredited' by the Secretary of State for Education. The Lucy Faithfull Foundation has been involved in the design and delivery of accredited Safer Recruitment training - both online and face-to-face - throughout these years.
The Secretary of State indicated in 2013 an intention to redact the legislation requiring Safer Recruitment trainers and training content to be approved. However, Keeping children safe in education (DfE 2018) makes clear that at least one member of every appointment panel must undertake 'proper' safe recruitment training. In addition, the DfE recognised that the existing training - whilst somewhat out of date in some areas - was highly valued by local authorities, LSCBs and school & college staff alike. Consequently, professionals from a range of backgrounds were brought together to update the training and ensure its continuing relevance and availability. From this group, a consortium was formed - NSPCC, Lucy Faithfull Foundation, NASS and CAPE
Since September 1st 2014, existing accredited face-to-face trainers have been able to register with LFF and, subject to some quality assurance checks, access the updated materials. Going forward, the consortium plans to develop a Safer Recruitment package for the wider children's workforce and another for those working with adults at risk. In addition, the consortium reviewed the national 'safe working practice' guidance in 2015 (previously DCSF 2009) to reflect new and emerging professional conduct issues and this will be updated again during Autumn 2018.
The Safer Recruitment Consortium logo reassures you that:
the content is up to date and relevant to the education sector
the trainer belongs to a national network of properly trained and accredited facilitators
your training will meet the standards required by the DfE in Keeping children safe in education (2018)
