"The Path Least Taken: A Quest to Learn More About High School Graduates Who Don't Go on to College"
A new study finds that 79 percent of high school graduates go to a two- or four-year college by age 20, and that 88 percent enroll by age 26—a much higher proportion than researchers previously thought.
Some graduates are realizing they need more education once they enter the workforce and then find their way back into education, said Patte Barth, the director of the Center for Public Education at the National School Boards Association, which released the report last week.
Researchers analyzing federal longitudinal data found that the 12 percent of noncollege-goers were more likely to be male, low-income, and have parents whose schooling ended with a high school diploma or less. Students' racial or ethnic backgrounds and home language were not factors in their college-going, according to the authors.
Two-thirds of noncollege-goers began high school believing they would attend college, the researchers found. Finances were cited most often as the reason students didn't go, but some said they were undecided, wanted to go right into the workforce, or needed to support their families.


Every day across the country, social workers assist, support and protect specific people such as foster children, prison inmates, hospital patients and senior citizens. Regardless of their assigned population, social workers strive to improve individual well-being, functioning, and quality of life. Here are five ways to increase social work quality and transparency.
See our ranking of the Top 25 Most Affordable Master's in Social Work (MSW) Degree Programs.
Social work conflicts of interest are situations where personal histories and relationships create opportunities for partiality and unfairness. If a social worker is assigned a case involving friends or family, the case will typically be assigned to a different unit. If the case involves a fellow social worker, the case will typically be assigned to an entirely different county. Minor conflicts of interest can be minimized through setting clear and appropriate boundaries at the beginning of the case or relationship.
State law, government agencies and professional ethics all guarantee clients the rights to privacy, anonymity and confidentiality. However, some social workers may not realize that if they see a client in public outside of designated work hours, they are generally not allowed to greet or acknowledge the client. They may also not realize that discussing case information and client details in a public setting like a restaurant is violating the client's right to privacy and confidentiality. Social workers can avoid these problems by adhering to state-mandated information security and client privacy rules.
According to NPR News, the country's diversity is still on the rise with certain population segments increasing. Social workers interact with a rich variety of clients from various backgrounds, so they must have strong knowledge of social diversity and cultural competency. Social workers should participate in both mandatory and optional training to increase their understanding of human differences and appreciation of our similarities. Fortunately, many organizations and government agencies offer liaison opportunities for working with specific groups such as ethnic origin, gender expression and immigration status.
The goal of social work is to improve the safety and well-being of clients, but there are city, state and federal legal obligations that must be continually satisfied. This is why the concept of informed consent is so important within the world of social work. Informed consent means that a social worker must clearly explain options, services, costs and consequences of proposed choices and possible outcomes. Social workers should use a standardized method with each client to explain that they can provide and withdraw consent at any time.
Social work professionals who are employed in specific industries, such as government and healthcare, must conform to strict legal deadlines and requirements. For example, child protective services (CPS) workers who remove children from unsafe and unhealthy living situations are required to legally notify parents or guardians, file appropriate court motions and meet state child welfare requirements. Social workers who are responsible for removing foster children can collaborate with colleagues and supervisors to ensure all legal communication deadlines and requirements are met.
Social workers provide critical support and services to various populations within ethical frameworks. Social workers who hold themselves accountable will enjoy enhanced career, client, and personal satisfaction.


When the loose, sagging skin under your chin makes you feel less than attractive, you can find a permanent, nonsurgical solution at Advanced Health of Oakbrook. At his Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, office, Dr. Christopher Orenczak offers state-of-the-art SculpSureⓇ chin contouring. By permanently removing fat cells from under your chin, your double chin is gone for good. To learn more about this safe and effective procedure, call the office today or go online to book.
SculpSure uses cutting-edge laser therapy to reduce unwanted fat with no surgery, no injections, and no downtime. This noninvasive procedure slims your profile, giving you the contours you've always wanted.
While women and men have been enjoying the benefits of SculpSure body contouring for years, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the treatments for chin contouring, allowing you to permanently reduce the amount of fat under your chin safely and effectively.
What happens during a SculpSure chin contouring treatment?
When you see Dr. Orenczak for your initial SculpSure chin contouring consultation, he explains the procedures and determines if you're a good candidate.
If you opt for same-day treatment, he secures the SculpSure chin contouring applicator belt under your chin and places the laser device inside it. As the treatment begins, the SculpSure device sends laser light energy into your fat cells.
You may notice a cooling sensation on the surface of your skin and deep warmth beneath your skin. These sensations are normal. The cooling protects your skin and eliminates any discomfort. The deep warmth comes from the increased temperature in your fat cells.
The procedure lasts 25 minutes, and when it's over, you can leave the office without restrictions.
How does SculpSure chin contouring work?
The laser energy emitted by Sculpsure increases the temperature inside your fat cells without harming the surrounding tissues. These higher temperatures permanently damage your fat cells and lead to their eventual death.
Once your fat cells die, your body removes them through natural processes. Since fat cells don't regenerate, the fat under your chin is gone forever.
When can you see results from chin contouring?
The process of cell death and removal takes time. You may begin to notice results from your chin contouring procedure about six weeks after your treatment. Maximum results occur at 12 weeks.
Depending on your specific goals, Dr. Orenczak may recommend multiple chin contouring treatments.
If you want to eliminate your double chin for good, call Advanced Health of Oakbrook today or go online to schedule your initial consultation.

Denitrification based on immobilized microbial cellulose may offer an economical replacement for conventional treatment for nitrate removal. The environmental and bacterial biomass may influence the rate of biological denitrification processes. This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect denitrification rates, including carbon sources, pH, and bacterial inoculum. Different inoculum biomass of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and various carbon sources of glucose, sucrose, and cellulose with different concentrations were tested to assimilate 100 mg/L of KNO3 as nitrate source. Additionally, five additional inoculations, five different incubation time, and seven different pH levels were studied. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates used different mineral media with three carbon sources, glucose, sucrose, and cellulose, with different concentrations at different rates to denitrify nitrate. The highest denitrification rate was with glucose after 18 hrs and was after 24 hrs when sucrose and cellulose were used, respectively. The bacterial biomass denitrification level was the highest, between 0.8% and 1% of OD600=1. Nitrate removal by Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the highest at pH 7, 8, and 9. This report suggests that when glucose is used as a carbon source, at neutral to alkaline pH, and 1% of denitrifying bacterial biomass, the highest level of biological denitrification process may be achieved.
Bacterial Biomass, Nitrification, Denitrification, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbon sources, Nitrate removal
Bacteria contribute to the nitrogen cycle, including nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification. The nitrogen removal by biological procedure involves a two-step process; nitrification and denitrification. The reduction of nitrate (NO3) to nitrogen (N2) by facultative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known as a denitrification process. This process requires optimal conditions to occur naturally. A primary organic compound as a carbon source for energy, anoxic conditions so that the bacteria can use nitrate as a final electron acceptor to complete the denitrification process1. It was suggested that different organic carbon sources might give a different level of dentification and, consequently, the different mole fraction of nitrogen gas2.
The genus Pseudomonas is the most isolated and used denitrifying bacteria from soil and water samples. Another denitrifying Pseudomonas may include P. denitrificans, and P. stutzeri. The denitrifying bacteria rely primarily on the nir gene, which encodes for the periplasmic Nitrate Reductase for the denitrification process1,3,4.
Many studies have investigated the most efficient carbon sources for the biological denitrification processes. Carbon sources like wood sources, wheat straw, green waste, and maize cobs were explored for their efficacy in nitrate removal levels. Among all, Maize cobs were superior and had shown a high level of denitrification when it was used as a carbon source substrate due to its high glucose content. Wood sources were ideal for some bacteria with lesser extent by-products like total organic carbon and Nitrous oxide. Furthermore, the microbial composition may play a role in the denitrification process. It was shown that the nitrate level might influence the bacterial composition. Also, it could enhance the methane emissions rate in the denitrification process that depends on wood sources as a sole carbon source for the biodenitrification5.
The interaction between medium conditions and their contents to isolate denitrifying microbes was studied. It was shown that medium with a nitrogen concentration of 3 mM and neutral pH level with added vitamin with no riboflavin or sodium chloride was more appropriate to isolate denitrifying bacteria. Carbon sources such as succinate or ethyl alcohol were also supportive6. The environmental and bacterial biomass may influence the rate of biological denitrification processes. This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect denitrification rates, which may include carbon sources, pH, and bacterial inoculum. Different inoculum biomass of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and different carbon sources of glucose, sucrose, and cellulose with different concentrations were tested to assimilate 100 mg/L of KNO3 as nitrate source. Our primary study's motivation was to design a cheap biological denitrification system that can aid in removing nitrate from water due to their scarce resource in Saudi Arabia. Designing biodenitrification system may require knowledge of the bacterial biomass and the nature of carbon sources used as electron donor for the denitrification process.
Isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from soil
Soil samples were collected from different cities and regions in Saudi Arabia. At least 10 grams of soil samples were used to isolate denitrifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Approximately 90 ml of ddH2O was added to all soil samples to make a suspension for plating serially diluting bacteria on nutrient agar and Luria-Bertani Agar Medium medium at the level of 10-1 and 10-6. The plates were incubated at 30°C for 48 hours. The grown bacterial colonies on the agar were distinguished by colors, elevation, edge, and form. Individual well-spaced bacterial isolates were obtained by multiple subcultures on fresh agar plates 7,8. The identity of the isolates was confirmed by molecular techniques.
Storage of samples
The different isolated strains were incubated overnight in LB medium at 30°C or the temperatures representing their optimum growth. An aliquot from each was preserved by adding 50% sterile glycerol (v/v). Each bacterial isolate was preserved at -80°C for further use or by lyophilization for storage of the cells for a more extended period 9.
Molecular analysis of 16S rRNA, and nir Gene Sequencing
All bacterial isolates were confirmed by 16S rRNA, and nir gene was checked by nir gene primers. The PCR reactions were performed to amplify the 16S rRNA gene for microbial identification and to amplify the nir gene from bacterial isolates. The final volume of PCR reaction mixture was 25μl. The reaction mixture containing beads (beads contain buffer salts, nucleotides and Taq polymerase in a lyophilized powder), 3μl of DNA or lysate, 10 pmol of forward and reverse specific primers for nir gene F (TAY CAC CCS GAR CCG C), and nir gene R (CCG ACC GGT AAG TTC AAC GTG). Degenerate letters denote D (AGT), R (AG), M (AC), S (GC), B (GCT), N (AGCT), V (AGC), Y (CT), H (ACT), W (AT). The primers used for 16s rRNA amplification were as followed forward primer 8FLP (5'GCG GAT CCG CGG CTG CAG AGT TTG ATC CTG GCT CAG3') and reverse primer 806R (5'GCG GAT CCG CGG CCG CGG ACT ACC AGG GTA TCT AAT3') and ddH2O to a final volume of 25μl. The PCR was performed with the following cycling conditions to amplify the 16S rRNA gene or nir gene; 94°C for 5 min, then 35 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 30 s, annealing at 57°C for 30 s, and extension at 73°C for 1 min followed by a final extension at 73°C for 10 min. The PCR amplification was analyzed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis in 1X TBE buffer after it was stained with Ethidium Bromide. The gel image was captured by UV light at 254 nm in a UV transilluminator10,11. DNA Sequencing was performed to evaluate the data obtained by PCR using BigDye sequencing kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Thermofisher Scientific). The forward primer of each gene under investigation was used for cycle sequencing to generate sequencing data in a sequencer 3730XL DNA analyzer (Thermofisher Scientific). Sequencing data analysis was completed in BLAST algorithm available in the NCBI Genbank server (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi). The 16S rRNA gene sequence identity used a criterion of 99-95% to speciate the bacteria or to identify the corresponding nir gene.
Optimization of nitrate denitrification by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas Isolation was one of the isolates obtained from the field collections and has given promising preliminary denitrification results. Subsequently, it was selected for further analysis. The strain was grown in 100 ml Mineral medium broth in 250 ml conical flasks. Optimization of denitrification was performed under several condition, three different carbon sources were used (glucose, sucrose and cellulose) with different concentration (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7% and 0.9%). The concentration of 100 mg/L of KNO3 was used. Five-time course incubation (2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 16 h, and 24 h) has also experimented. Finally, five different inoculations (200 ml, 400 ml, 600 ml, 800 ml, and 1000 ml), and seven different pH levels (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) were investigated.
The denitrifying bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa from our isolates was identified and confirmed by molecular techniques (data not shown). Pseudomonas aeruginosa is able to denitrify the nitrate on mineral media with different sugar carbon sources due to their nir gene cluster through several chemical reactions to convert Nitrate to Nitrogen gas (Fig. 1). No major denitrification was observed with the use of cellulose as a carbon source even after 24 hours (Fig. 2). When sucrose was used as a carbon source, the highest reduction of nitrate was reached after 24 h (64 mg/L or 64%) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Fig. 3). The highest denitrification level was achieved after 18 hours with glucose as a carbon source (1.9 mg/L or 1.9%) (Fig. 4). The bacterial inoculum or biomass was investigated to assess how much bacteria is needed to give an optimum denitrification process. At least 100mg/L of nitrate was used as a fixed starting point. The maximum denitrification rate was achieved after 18h when the glucose media was inoculated with 0.8 % and 1% inoculum of OD600=1 (Fig. 5). The effect of pH variables on the denitrification processes was investigated. It has been shown that neutral to alkaline pH 7, 8, and 9 were suitable for the denitrification process by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on glucose media (Fig.6).

Fig. 2. The nitrate was denitrified by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on mineral media with cellulose. The highest denitrification level of nitrate was achieved after 16h (64 mg/L) off 100mg/L.
Fig. 3. The nitrate was reduced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on mineral media with sucrose. The higher reduction of nitrate was reached after 24 h (64 mg/L). The bottom line shows the bacterial growth phase, and the top line shows the denitrification process starting from 100mg/L. The inverse relationship shows the duration of time from 0 to10 h. The direct relationship was started from 10h when bacteria began in the death phase.
Fig. 4. The nitrate was reduced on mineral media with glucose by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The higher reduction of nitrate was reached at 18 h (1.9mg/L). An inverse relationship was shown in a time course from 0 to 18 h, Nitrate reduction was observed in log phase (the more bacterial growth, the higher the denitrification process).
Fig. 5. The bacterial inoculum was investigated to assess how much bacteria will give an optimum denitrification process. At least 100mg/L nitrate was used as a fixed starting point. The maximum denitrification was achieved after 18h when the glucose media was inoculated with 0.8 % and 1% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa inoculum of OD600=1.
Fig. 6. The effect of pH variations on the denitrification process is shown in the graph. At least 100mg/L nitrate was used as a fixed starting point. It was shown that pH7, 8, and 9 were optimum for denitrification processes by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on glucose media.
The biological process of denitrification by denitrifying bacteria reduces the harmful effect on the environment. The biological conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria may provide a low cost and efficient bioremediation treatment of contaminated groundwater. The biological treatment is controlled by anaerobic conditions, heterotrophic, and autotrophic denitrifying microbes12,13. The process of denitrification is initiated by microbes that can reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas through several chemical reactions where many reductase enzymes are used under optimal conditions such as pH, temperature, and perfect carbon source for energy. The denitrifying bacteria will have to find the ideal environmental conditions to process efficiently. These conditions may include good carbon sources, pH, and bacterial biomass. In this report, we aimed to investigate the factors that may affect the denitrification rates, which may include carbon sources, pH, and bacterial inoculum.
It appears that the source of carbon plays a significant role in the denitrification process by the bacteria by providing energy. Almost all bacterial species can metabolize glucose (C6H12O6) when used as a carbon source. The glucose is quickly metabolized by the bacteria because it is a simple sugar molecule that can enter the bacterial cell more efficiently than disaccharide or polysaccharide molecules. This substrate is degraded rapidly by the cell enzymatic machinery, and energy is produced14. Poor substrates such as sucrose or cellulose are not favorably absorbed or catalyzed by bacterial cells. Hydrolysis of substrate absorption is controlled by enzymes encoded by the genes in the bacterial chromosomes. Pseudomonas aeruginosa may slowly catalyze sucrose or cellulose molecules due to their enzymatic processivity level or reduced cellular absorbance to this kind of sugar9,15. The microbial production of cellulose is mainly dependent on carbon sources. It has been shown that the process by which the bacteria produce the cellulose is during Their active growth phase. Unlike plant cellulose, bacterial cellulose consists of linear β-1-4-glucan chains, a unique form found of cellulose found only in bacteria16.
Consistent with our findings, studies have shown that the rate of denitrification is superior between neutral to alkaline pH 7-9. Acidic environmental conditions have a negative effect on the level of denitrification by denitrifying bacteria. Studies have demonstrated that the denitrification potential of synthetic wastewater was inhibited below the neutral pH seven but was restored between pH7.5-9 17.
Interestingly, the pH level, along with the appropriate carbon source, may accelerate the nitrate removal and improve the denitrification process. The denitrification process is pH-dependent. It was observed that the pH 7, 8, 9 were the most efficient in the denitrification. This is because most denitrifying bacteria have an ideal pH level between 7-9. The denitrification progression may be halted or substantially declined If pH levels shift towards acidity (less than 6) or alkalinity (more than 9).
Additionally, the process of denitrification by denitrifying bacteria increase alkalinity and pH level18-20. Bacterial biomass may play an important factor in speeding the denitrification process. It was shown that suspended bacterial biomass might be superior over immobilized microorganisms in the denitrification process21,22. Our report showed that using an inoculum of 0.8% and 1% of OD600=1 was sufficient to accelerate the bacterial biomass to denitrify nitrate to 1.9% after 18 hours. It is thought that increasing the bacterial biomass of certain bacterial species and their enzymes may accelerate the process of denitrification19.
In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of bacterial biomass level and the nature of carbon source for efficient denitrification process. The use of biological nitrate removal by denitrifying bacteria may offer a cost-effective approach. Optimizing the conditions for such treatment, such as defining the carbon source, working under ideal pH levels, and selecting the most appropriate bacterial biomass are considered essentials for the success of biological nitrate removal. The results of this report confirm that carbon source from glucose provides the best conditions for nitrate removal by the denitrifying bacteria. Additionally, suitable bacterial biomass at the neutral to alkaline pH levels may contribute to the highest level of biological denitrification.

After former Pitt baseball pitcher Josh Mitchell was drafted in the 22nd round of the 2017 MLB draft by the Kansas City Royals, he started reaching out to established players for advice on what he could expect.
Mitchell knew he would play 140 games in 150 days, but he didn't know he would sleep on the living room floor of an apartment he shared with four other people the year after he was drafted.
By then, he had been promoted from the Idaho Falls Chukars, the Royals' Rookie Pioneer league team, to the Lexington Legends, their full season A team. The starting salary for a minor league baseball player is about $1,300 a month, making it hard to find decent housing.
When Mitchell moved to Lexington, Kentucky, he and four of his teammates rented a three-bedroom apartment. Mitchell drew the short stick and was stuck sleeping in the living room with another teammate on mattresses the Royals organization bought for them.
A couple months later, Mitchell was called up to the Advance A Wilmington Blue Rockets. Luckily, instead of having to look and pay for an apartment, he was placed with a host family, which minor league teams try to pair players with to help with costs. Host families provide players a place to live, allowing them to save money that would have gone toward rent and food.
When Mitchell arrived at his host's family house for the first time, it was late and the kids were already asleep. After meeting his host mom, he shut the door to his room and went to sleep, not expecting the surprise that greeted him the next morning.
After about a week, Mitchell got used to the family and things weren't as awkward anymore. When he was at the house, he would play with the kids and keep them occupied and the host mom would make him food and do his laundry.
While most minor league players choose to live with host families because they can save money, not all do. Dylan Cyphert, a former Pitt baseball player, was drafted by the Miami Marlins in the 17th round of the 2017 MLB draft.
He spent his summer in New York in short A ball playing for the Batavia Muckdogs. Though he had the opportunity to live with a host family, he decided to stay in a team hotel instead. While the team pays for some of his hotel expenses, $185 still gets taken out of his paycheck every month to cover the cost of the room.
Even if they don't choose to live in one, all minor league players spend a decent amount of time in hotels when they travel to away games. Isaac Mattson, Mitchell's Pitt teammate, was drafted by the Angels in the 19th round of the 2017 draft and recounted nights spent sleeping in hotels chosen and paid for by the home teams — nights that didn't always turn out pleasant.
Luckily for Mattson, he didn't get bed bugs, but he did take what happened to his friend seriously. Now, any time he goes to a hotel he sets up a bed bug trap and checks the sheets to make sure he isn't putting himself at risk.
Mitchell has also never experienced bed bugs, but one time in rookie ball he walked into his room and found there were no sheets on the bed — only old towels and sheets on the bathroom floor, covered in water. After calling the front desk twice in two hours asking for sheets, a worker told him they knocked and no one answered, so his sheets were now at the front desk and he could come pick them up.
So Mitchell and his roommate went to the lobby and got the sheets, though the woman manning the front desk didn't take kindly to Mitchell snatching them and running.
Because the teams play more than one away series against another team, some of the hotels become notorious to them. For instance, Mattson's roommate was bitten by bed bugs again at the same hotel, a month and a half after the first time they stayed there.
At the end of the day, the players try to make the best of their accommodations — after all, they have no other choice if they're going to accomplish their dreams of making it to the majors.

The Los Angeles Sparks and Dallas Wings meet Friday in WNBA action at the College Park Center.
The Los Angeles Sparks look for their second road win of the season to build on their 4-2 start. The Los Angeles Sparks are averaging 84.8 points on 46.9 percent shooting and allowing 78.3 points on 47.7 percent shooting. Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 21.2 points and six rebounds while Candace Parker is averaging 15 points and 4.6 assists. Chelsea Gray is the third double-digit scorer and Alana Beard is dishing 2.2 assists. The Los Angeles Sparks are shooting 41.1 percent from beyond the arc and 80.6 percent from the free throw line. The Los Angeles Sparks are allowing 38.2 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 27.8 rebounds per game. The Los Angeles Sparks have lost seven of their last 11 road games.
The Dallas Wings need a nice home win here that would snap a three-game losing streak. The Dallas Wings are averaging 83.2 points on 41.9 percent shooting and allowing 85.4 points on 44.8 percent shooting. Skylar Diggins-Smith is averaging 15.8 points and 5.5 assists while Karima Christmas-Kelly is averaging 12.5 points and 4.5 rebounds. Allisha Gray is the third double-digit scorer and Glory Johnson is grabbing 8.8 rebounds. The Dallas Wings are shooting 27.9 percent from beyond the arc and 82.3 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Wings are allowing 29.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.6 rebounds per game. The Dallas Wings have lost seven of their last nine home games.
Will update with trends once they're released.
The Dallas Wings don't have a great record, but they've hung around in most of their games with three of their five losses coming by single digits. The Sparks are winning games and have been consistent, but they've have their struggles on the road dating back to last season and are still shaky on the defensive side. This is one of those games where I can see the Wings hanging around at home. I'll take my points.

The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general has finally agreed to investigate how an illegal immigrant with a record of felonies escaped deportation, and was subsequently able to murder a woman in Connecticut – a state with substantial safe-haven policies that even allow for special drivers' licenses for those in the country illegally.
The case involves the stabbing death of Casey Chadwick, 25. A suspect, Jean Jacques, 41, a Haitian national, was arrested shortly after the 2015 summer discovery of Chadwick's body inside a closet in her apartment. After his arrest, local media and interested politicians learned Immigration and Customs Enforcement failed to deport Jacques at least three times, going back to 2002.
"As if this weren't atrocious enough, Jacques spent 17 years in prison for attempted murder before authorities released him, instead of deporting him, in January of 2015," Judicial Watch reported, citing Norwich Bulletin reports.
Six months after his release, Jacques was arrested for her murder and jailed on a $1 million bond.
But Connecticut's two U.S. senators and one congressman, all Democrats, demanded to know why the federal authorities hadn't deported him in the first place.
Judicial Watch also noted the Democratic lawmakers "are only demanding answers because Chadwick's murder occured in their backyard," and that both senators had previously blocked a measure that would have blocked grants to police departments located in sanctuary cities and states.
"Perhaps if states like Connecticut didn't offer illegal immigrants sanctuary, this case and many others like it nationwide wouldn't exist," Judicial Watch said.

9-Year-Old Boy Walks To Closed School Every Day So He Could Use WiFi As They Do Not Have Internet At Their House
Published by Tushar Modak , in Good News — November 25, 2020
Dedication to exceed.
A 9-year-old boy was forced to walk to their closed school on a daily basis so he could use the school's WiFi due to the fact that they do not have internet at their house.
He did this amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
The boy used to go to a school in Roswell, New Mexico, but it was closed and they were told to join online classes.
That was not a problem for most of the kids, who probably had a computer and internet at their house, but Jonathon Endecott, a 9-year-old boy, was not one of them.
His family could not afford to pay for internet services since Angel, the mother of the boy, lost one of her jobs during the pandemic.
Because he had to take part of the classes, his mother told him to go to his school so he could access the wifi there.
The school is located a field away from the house of the family.
During an interview with CNN, Angel, the mother, said that her son had no problem with the solution that she had offered.
Angel said:
He was like, 'Yeah, I need to be back on the school property, and I could be like a normal kid again'. Him just being outside of the building gives him that, 'Hey, I'm at school' feeling even though he's not around other classmates or teachers.
Jonathan walks to school every day so he could use the internet there and take part in the online classes.
Angel said that she and her husband were happy to let Jonathan go to school in times like these because education is also important.
Staff members of the school, the principal, the secretary, and the teacher would come outside the school in order to check up if he is doing fine.
The young boy said he is happy because the internet allows him to talk with his friends and classmates.
The 9-year-old boy says his favorite subject is Science.
A teacher at the school said that she was heartbroken after seeing Jonathan outside the school amidst all the things that are going around.
She shared the picture of Jonathan with a friend on social media.
The post went viral very fast.

The commentary "Practice-field skirmish lends 'Insight' to narrow thinking" by Slim Smith makes absolutely no sense. How does the story of a "multi-million dollar sporting event throwing trinkets to the local money pinched high school district to abuse their facilities" equate to the "troubling ideology that greatly undermines the nation's efforts to recover from the worst economic depression since the 1930s." What he should be writing about is that in our nation's time of economic problems why do college football coaches receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses on top of their seven figure salaries to appear in one of the few dozen bowl games around the country. Or maybe do some investigation into where the tens of millions of dollars that go the participating schools actually is spent.
What he should not write about are things he has not fully researched. The relationship Mr. Smith is talking about throughout the entire commentary is between the Tempe School District, not Corona Del Sol High School, and the Insight Bowl. There are several high schools in the District that can fulfill the Insight Bowl requirements and the burden of hosting the team should be rotated through those schools.
What Mr. Smith also fails to mentioned in the commentary is that the six weeks in which the fields are not available are the preseason and first half of the regular season, a time when consistent practice conditions on actual soccer fields is critical.
Mr. Smith then explains that the loss of the fields is largely mitigated by the City of Tempe allowing the use of the Tempe Sports Complex. And although the complex is nice, the use of the fields for games actually costs Corona Del Sol money (Mr. Smith obviously does not consider the cost of the buses and equipment personal required to move a home game off campus significant). And using the fields for practice is only viable for the students that happen to be old enough to have a driver's license and a car. The two JV teams still need to practice on campus for both cost and logistic reasons. They end up practicing on the outfield of the baseball diamonds (which does not sit well with the baseball boosters).
Another misconception that Mr. Smith tries to sell to his readers is that the Insight Bowl rejuvenates the fields for the High School. It is indeed a fact that the Insight Bowl reseeds and manicures the fields as Mr. Smith states. However, they then send a hundred 200 pound football players out on them for two weeks to tear them up. He also does not mention that the Insight Bowl does not pay to water the fields after they leave so the school stops watering due to budget constraints and whatever grass was left soon dies away and the field is left in worse shape than when the Insight Bowl arrived.
What I really enjoyed about the article is the one sentence he threw in about the two scholarships the high school gets for its trouble. The total amount of the scholarships is $1000. Considering the tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars involved in the production of the Insight Bowl this is similar to the early explorers trading trinkets for gold.
Mr. Smith continues his naïve overlook of the situation by suggesting that any monetary gain (which I believe is minimal at best) the high school gets from this relationship is shared equally among the different sports. Nothing is ever shared equally in sports. The more popular sports get the most attention (and resources) while the least known sports get very little. It's called economics!
I am not saying that having a visiting college football team train at a local high school is a bad thing. In fact it can be very beneficial for the high school, especially if more interaction between the College Coaches and the high school athletes occurred. Having the high school football team watch an open practice, or having the College Coaches run a day long clinic for the high school players, or even have the College Coaches give an evening presentation to all the high school athletes about being a student athlete in college would greatly benefit the high school students.
What I am saying is that the opportunity to host the visiting team should be shared among the high schools in the District that have the required resources. Having the high school soccer teams be inconvenienced every four or five years is much more beneficial to the common good then demanding that specific group of people continually give up their rights for the benefit of others (and in this case a very few). I would also like to suggest that before Mr. Smith throws around his preponderance of evidence he actually fully investigates it first. He might even want to provide some value in his commentaries by suggesting useful solutions.
Oh yea, and what did this have to do with our global economy?
I have very little to add. The previous commentary on Slim's commentary echos my sentiments. One major issue with the whole situation is the poor communication or shall we say lack of communication re. this situation. It appears that this agreement comes from Mr. Adolf at the district level, but at the school level there is much rumor and innuendo. This is the fourth year Corona has hosted an Insight bowl team. For the present Seniors that means half of their high school home games were actually played "away". This also means loss of revenue in ticket sales, and concessions and less fans coming to games because they are off campus. It has been said that the "Girls' team" and coaches don't mind. That may be true. But in my unofficial poll at the Boys' games for the last three years that we have been part of the team, they do.

Please find an updated list of dates the Knifeman will be here this year. Nothing nicer than a sharp pair of scissors, secateurs or knife. Last month l had the kitchen knives sharpened just before Easter, Ray was the one to suggest that it was about time they be done.
They were lovely and sharp, he took part of the side of his thumb clean off when he was prepping a coleslaw for Easter lunch. I did warn him to be careful!

We are often asked questions about building a website and many groups attempt to save money by using a template or building a site on wordpress. One of the more important questions you should answer is: What the HIPAA requirements for a medical website?
Storage Encryption: Is encrypted if it is being stored or archived.It is up to your organization to determine if this is needed; though it is highly recommended. If storage encryption is necessary then you need to ensure that all collected and stored protected health information is encrypted and that it can only be accessed/decrypted by people with the appropriate keys. I.e., this makes backups secure, protects data from access by unauthorized people, and generally protects the data no matter what happens (unless your special keys are stolen).Storage encryption is especially important in any scenario where the data may be backed up or placed in locations out of your control, or where you may be sharing a web server with other customers of the same web host. Should something unfortunate happen and a server become compromised, your liability is significantly limitedby having the data encrypted.


October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a national campaign raising awareness about the disease. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. It is vital to stay knowledgeable and vigilant about your self-examinations and mammograms. This will strengthen the possibility of early detection in the case that you do develop the disease. For more information about signs and symptoms, please visit the American Cancer Society's website.
For women that are diagnosed, a mastectomy, partial mastectomy or lumpectomy can stop the progression of the cancerous cells and often save lives. While it is a life-saving procedure, it can drastically alter your self-image and unfortunately, may cause you to feel less feminine. This can result in a lack of self-confidence. It is with this in mind that Congress passed the Federal Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act, a federal law requiring most group insurance plans to cover breast reconstruction if they already cover mastectomies.
We work together with each patient to determine the right method to address their unique needs. If you or someone you know may be interested in breast reconstruction surgery, please call us at (404) 257-9888 to schedule a free consultation.

Dolly's Bookstore is a beautiful boutique shop located behind Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory. They have been an "independent staple of the Historic Park City Main Street community — connecting customers with cats & books — since 1972." That's tight, once you step into the store you will be greeted by a four legged friend, Dolly's. Don't let the name fool you, we learned from the staff that Dolly's is one of many cats who has been around for the past four decades. Park City local's favorite cat is surrounded by thousands of books, games, and puzzles shining from the shelfs competing for kids and adults attention alike.
Now, 44 years later Dolly's has set a new standard on main street once again as an early adopter of energy efficient LED lighting. The lighting renovation transformed the store replacing over 115 lightbulbs. The effort helped dolly's save over $1,500 annually and also helped reduced the amount of CO2 in our town by 10 tons per year!
Aside from the impact this project made on the environment, it has made an even bigger impact in the store's appearance, electric bill, and maintenance protocols. Making the switch was easy, it just makes financial sense. With the help of SuperGreen Solutions and Rocky Mountain power, Dolly's was able to receive a check for over 50% of the project cost for the "Wattsmart Business incentive" program lowering the ROI (Return on Investment) down to only 12 months.
Aside from this incredible deal, the lighting distribution across the store is undoubtedly noticeable. The merchandise once hidden in dark shadows now glows evenly with modern poise. In the pictures below you can see the difference at a glance.
As I was leaving the store after the install, I was stopped by a very friendly staff member. He asked me what they should do with the stock of light bulbs they had stored away for years. A lot of shops on main street have this problem. Boutiques, galleries and restaurants alike have to change their bulbs as many as three times a day due to the short lifespan incandescent and CFL bulbs bring to the table. Most LED's last 192% longer, about five years to be exact. This is a big deal for businesses who need to keep their lights on for 10-14 hours a day/night. The reduction in maintenance cost alone makes this switch worth it", Said Juliana Duran from SuperGreen Solutions.
Thank you so much Dolly's for working with us and keeping your customers, and the community in mind when approaching this simple but powerful project. Projects like these have made many store and restaurant managers happy campers. Business owners enjoy a bigger budget for other projects and less trips to the store.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown
Get a Life, Chloe Brown Review
Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she's come up with seven directives to help her "Get a Life", and she's already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamourous family's mansion. The next items?
Enjoy a drunken night out.
Ride a motorcycle.
Go camping.
Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.
Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.
And... do something bad.
But it's not easy being bad, even when you've written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.
Redford 'Red' Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He's also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.
But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe's wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…

Nebraska Urban Indian Health Coalition plans to build new HQ, housing in South Omaha
Oct, 20 2017 by Christopher Burbach / World-Herald staff writer
An unusual partnership has emerged between the Nebraska Urban Indian Health Coalition and real estate developers who rehabilitated the coalition's old downtown neighborhood into millennial-friendly housing.
The nonprofit coalition provides substance abuse treatment and other services at its current headquarters, in the middle of Arch Icon Development's trendy new Flats on Howard apartments and town houses.
Now, Arch Icon Development and the nonprofit group propose to create a new campus for the coalition, at 23rd and N Streets in South Omaha. That's the former home of the South Omaha Eagles Club.
Their proposal has two parts. They would erect a building with 44 apartments on parking lots northwest of 23rd and N. And they would renovate the vacant club and its banquet hall, turning it into space for social services including residential addiction treatment, plus offices and cultural events.
The planning is in its very early stages. The complicated financing for the apartments, expected to cost about $7.8 million to build, would involve a number of sources, including low-income housing tax credits. The renovation of the Eagles Club would require donations, and fundraising has yet to begin.
Nothing would likely be built before 2019, said Darin Smith, an Arch Icon principal.
Given all that, the group has talked with some neighbors but otherwise hasn't "said a lot about it" yet, said Donna Polk-Primm, CEO of Nebraska Urban Indian Health Coalition.
It's becoming public now because they're applying for tax-increment financing for the apartments, called Eagle Heights.
The Omaha City Planning Board voted last week to recommend that the City Council approve the Eagle Heights redevelopment plan. That would allow up to $310,000 in tax-increment financing, or TIF. The financing mechanism allows developers to use a portion of a project's future property taxes to pay for upfront costs.
The redevelopment plan and TIF proposal will probably go before the City Council in a few weeks.
The apartment ownership would eventually transfer to the coalition, but despite its nonprofit status, it would pay taxes on the apartments under the proposal before the city.
There would be a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. They would rent for an estimated $375 a month for a studio to $750 a month for a three-bedroom unit.
Polk-Primm said the group is planning to move to the South Omaha site so it can expand its services and help more people.
She said the coalition's current building is too small even for the current services offered there. It has 12,000 square feet, according to county property records. The Eagles Club building has 26,000 square feet.
"It would double our space to help us serve our community better," Polk-Primm said.
The coalition primarily serves urban American Indians and the Alaska Native populations, and some services are reserved for those groups because of funding sources. But the apartments would be open to any qualifying applicants, and many services are available to everyone, according to documents filed with the City Planning Board.
Polk-Primm said the proposed apartments would allow for more transitional housing for the coalition's clients. The club building also has space for community meetings, memorial dinners and other cultural events.
She said the coalition has been hoping to expand for several years. It seriously looked into moving seven years ago, hiring a consultant and conducting focus groups, but it didn't work out that time.
Polk-Primm said real estate developer Todd Heistand, whose daughter Mindy Crook is a principal in Arch Icon, approached her more recently and asked how they could help the coalition.
Polk-Primm said she welcomed the help. She said Arch Icon has been a good neighbor, and Heistand "has developed half of Omaha."
Crook said the coalition needs to expand and wants more housing, but is landlocked.
"This is what we do," she said. "We do housing. We do development."
Crook said she and Polk-Primm came across the Eagles Club property listing on the Internet practically on the same day.
When Crook saw the listing, she quickly made an appointment to see the property. About 9 p.m. the next day, she received an email from Polk-Primm about the Eagles Club, saying, "we should look at this."
"We kind of thought it was a cool moment, one of those this-was-meant-to-be cool things."
To Polk-Primm, it was symbolic that it is the former Eagles Club, named for an animal sacred to Native Americans.
"We are planning to move to 2226 N Street," Polk-Primm said. "We're very excited about it."
She said the only obstacle is raising money for the renovations.
"We're very hopeful," Polk-Primm said. "I'm very optimistic."

Congrats! A brand wants to work with you on a collaboration and just sent through an influencer agreement to sign. Before you sign your name on the dotted line, there are some aspects to take into consideration. After all a collaboration contract, no matter how casual it is, is still a binding legal contract. In this post, I'm outlining 5 tips for dealing with influencer agreements.
At times, sponsorship contracts might not exist, or you might get asked to do sponsored posts via email, messenger, or over the phone. Always get things in writing, ideally in the form of a contract. If you've had previous contracts in the past, you can use them as a precedent to create new contracts for future opportunities. You can also look up examples online and adapt them to the project and client.
It happens, people are busy and mistakes can be made. Before signing an influencer agreement, even if the brand team needs it signed ASAP, take the time to look over the agreement. You can also ask a business partner or seek legal advice to ensure the terms, deliverables, compensation, and parties are spelled out correctly. Don't be afraid to go back and ask for corrections or changes.
Blogging contracts are just that, contracts, and they can and should be negotiated on! If you're uncomfortable with an item in the contract, ask for a revision. An item to watch out for is exclusivity. This can, and will, restrict your ability to work with other brands. You should be comfortable with terms like these and make sure they're not too broad.
Another item that I always think about is the use of your content or images. If you're not comfortable with a brand using your likeness on a campaign beyond your own blog or social posts, make sure that's clear. The last thing you want is agreeing to your image being used on billboards and not being compensated accordingly! Keep in mind that if you use a professional photographer, they might limit the use of their images as well. It helps to be aware of these intellectual property issues and make sure you know what you're agreeing to.
Lastly, don't be afraid to negotiate your rate. Provide your rate card or previous work to make a case for why you should be compensated accordingly. This article has an excellent overview of classic negotiation techniques, but geared for the blogger. Negotiation is a dance, but it's amazing when both parties come to a happy medium.
As an influencer, it's important to act professionally. Respect the terms of your agreements and if there's a confidentiality clause, it's important to respect that too. While it might be tempting to compare rates with your colleagues, the blogging community is small and close-knit—all you have is your reputation and integrity.
While influencer agreements can seem casual at times, you should approach them with a professional mindset and meet all the terms, deliverables, and deadlines in a timely manner. If you need an extension for a deliverable, you can ask to amend the contract. It's a good idea to get any agreed upon extensions or amendments in writing. While email might suffice, if there's a dispute, an amended contract might be more reliable, depending on how sophisticated or complicated the contract is.
The great thing about working with #paid is that we take care of all this for you. When you opt-in to a campaign, you are entering the agreement. We provide everything you need to know in the campaign brief and you can view your contract by logging into your profile, clicking collaborations, clicking the collaboration you want to access, clicking the three dots on the top right corner, and pressing collab agreement. There are no negotiations on your end as we work on your behalf to get you paid your rate that you set. As long as you meet the requirements of the contract we set out, you'll get paid, in full, and on time.

Tiffany jewelry Atlas sequence make use of the oblong and faceted to create a gentle curve of jewelry, highlight color results as well as geometric proportions, especially for younger elegant ladies wear.
Fake Tiffany jewelry launched Atlas series, through reinterpreting 1970s antique works to increase once again after the design of the new component. Vintage jewellery is usually bulky and fragile, but through reassembled by the designer, it becomes strong and lightweight.

Coupled with the modern woman is the major consumer groups of jewelry.
Combining the two contents, Tiffany given jewelry a new mission. Atlas reflects the woman both soft and strong. It was a deeply meaningful jewelry, is the modern intellectual women necessary items.


I found this article fromt he NY times and thought it relevant so enjoy!
Amy Tenderich, who has diabetes, writes a blog and manages the social network Diabetic Connect from home in Millbrae, Calif.
For many people, social networks are a place for idle chatter about what they made for dinner or sharing cute pictures of their pets. But for people living with chronic diseases or disabilities, they play a more vital role. "It's really literally saved my life, just to be able to connect with other people," said Sean Fogerty, 50, who has multiple sclerosis, is recovering from brain cancer and spends an hour and a half each night talking with other patients online.
People fighting chronic illnesses are less likely than others to have Internet access, but once online they are more likely to blog or participate in online discussions about health problems, according to a report released Wednesday by the Pew Internet and American Life Project and the California HealthCare Foundation. "If they can break free from the anchors holding them down, people living with chronic disease who go online are finding resources that are more useful than the rest of the population," said Susannah Fox, associate director of digital strategy at Pew and author of the report. They are gathering on big patient networking sites like PatientsLikeMe, HealthCentral, Inspire, CureTogether and Alliance Health Networks, and on small sites started by patients on networks like Ning and Wetpaint.
Sherri Connell, 46, modeled and performed in musicals until, at age 27, she learned she had multiple sclerosis and Lyme disease. She began posting her journal entries online for friends and family to read. Soon, people from all over the world were reading her Web site and telling her they had similar health problems. In 2008, she and her husband started a social network using Ning called My Invisible Disabilities Community. It now has 2,300 members who write about living with lupus, forthcoming operations or medical bills, for example.
"People have good and bad days, and they don't know a good day's going to come Wednesday at 5 o'clock when a live support group is meeting," Ms. Connell said. "The Internet is a great outlet for people to be honest." Not surprisingly, according to Pew, Internet users with chronic illnesses are more likely than healthy people to use the Web to look for information on specific diseases, drugs, health insurance, alternative or experimental treatments and depression, anxiety or stress. But for them, the social aspects of the Web take on heightened importance. Particularly if they are homebound, they also look to the Web for their social lives, discussing topics unrelated to their illnesses. Some schedule times to eat dinner or watch a movie while chatting online.
John Linna, a pastor in Neenah, Wis., did not know what a blog was when his son suggested he start one after discovering he needed to stay home on a ventilator. "That day my little world began to expand," he wrote in a post last year about blogging. "Soon I had a little neighborhood. It was like stopping in for coffee every day just to see how things were going." When Mr. Linna died earlier this year, people all over the Web who had never met him in person mourned the loss.
Patients often use social networks to interact with people without worrying about the stigma of physical disabilities, said Susan Smedema, an assistant professor of rehabilitation counseling at Florida State University who studies the psychosocial aspects of disability. From her home in Maine, Susan Fultz plays online games at Pogo.com and commiserates with people who are frustrated that they do not have a diagnosis for their symptoms. "There's no worry of being judged or criticized, and that is something that I know a lot of us don't get in our daily lives," said Ms. Fultz, who has Lyme disease and psoriatic arthritis.
Some people also worry that patients might exchange erroneous medical information on the Web, he said. Yet most patient social networks make clear that the information on the site should not substitute for medical advice, and the Pew study found that just 2 percent of adults living with chronic diseases report being harmed by following medical advice found on the Internet. Instead, the sites are used to share information from the front lines, said Lily Vadakin, 45, who has multiple sclerosis and works as a site administrator for Disaboom, a social network for people with disabilities.
For instance, she has discussed with other patients how to combat fatigue by working at home and taking vitamin supplements. "That's what the community can give you — a real-life perspective," she said.

Q: Angular UI Datepicker not closing after i select date or press close in IE9, works in chrome any ideas why my datepicker is not closing in IE9 after i select a date?  close button not working either...
Code available on Plunkr.

        <legend>Your announcement request</legend>
        <alert ng-repeat="alert in alerts" type="{{alert.type}}" close="closeAlert($index)"
            data-ng-animate="">{{alert.msg}}</alert>

            <ng-form id="arform" name="arform" novalidate>

                        start date
*

                            <input type="text" class="form-control" name="sdate" id="sdate" datepicker-popup="{{format}}" ng-model="sdate"
                                is-open="opened1" min-date="minDate" datepicker-options="dateOptions" date-disabled="disabled(date, mode)"
                                ng-required="true" close-text="Close" required ng-focus="vm.open($event,'opened1')" />

                                <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="vm.open($event,'opened1')">

                                </button>

                        end date
*

                        <input type="text" class="form-control" name="edate" id="edate" datepicker-popup="{{format}}" ng-model="edate"
                            is-open="opened2" min-date="sdate" datepicker-options="dateOptions" date-disabled="disabled(date, mode)"
                            ng-required="true" close-text="Close" required ng-focus="vm.open($event,'opened2')" />

                            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="vm.open($event,'opened2')">

                            </button>

        </ng-form>

A: The problem is indeed caused by the ng-focus. When you select a date, it focus' back in the field and re-opens the dialog (which looks like the dialog doesn't close)
The solution is to use ng-click instead -- it's better for two reasons. First, because it actually works, with the dialog closing after selection. Second, it's better usability because if the user has their focus on the input field already and clicks the field, it re-opens the datepicker. ng-focus doesn't show the datepicker in this case.
Some code:
is-open="startDateOpen" ng-click="startDateOpen=true"

A: I my case, I added ng-click as follows:
 ng-click="startDateOpen=!startDateOpend"

also, I removed ng-focus to prevent from two events to affect 'startDateOpen'
ng-focus="startDateOpen=true"

A: So for starters: the alerts array is not being used properly at all. There's a lot of code that does not function, or does not follow the example of how to use alerts
You do not anywhere call anything to add to the $scope.alerts adding the code alert length: {{ alerts.length}} to the html shows the length is always zero.  Additionally the code to close is never called at all. Even if it was, as it sits, would not be able to close the pop-up since the reference to it isn't in the $scope.alerts array

A: The problem is caused by this:
ng-focus="vm.open($event,'opened1')"

Grand Banks Yachts are continuously looking for ways to improve and grow at the factory. The past several years has seen a prominent focus on improving the facilities and workplace environment for our employees, enhancing comfort and productivity in the factory.
Over the past few years Grand Banks has been relocating most of the departments in the factory, to ensure the production line layout now flows smoothly throughout the factory from raw materials through to finished product. The new layout of the factory moves through each department seamlessly, from the start of production to the end. This layout has reduced labour intensive methods of transporting parts between departments, furthermore increasing efficiency in the workplace.
The exciting arrival of a second 8-axis CNC robot has kicked off 2019 at the Grand Banks factory, with the team currently working together to build a fresh new robot facility. The new facility will house the two robots which will work simultaneously, either together or individually, depending on the demand. The implementation of a second robot will increase production in the factory, reducing the amount of labor intensive tasks and outputting a larger number of parts.
Along with the restructure of the layout comes a newly completed roof area at the front of the factory. The new roof area provides shelter for the employees here at Grand Banks, creating a cooler and more comfortable working environment, which is protected from varying weather conditions and enhanced by natural breezes flowing to increase ventilation. The installation of additional roof areas over the factory in recent years has developed a safer and more functional workplace environment for all of our employees, and created around 40% more usable space for production. We are eager to see what the New Year will bring to Grand Banks Yachts and can't wait to share more news from the factory when the new robot facility is complete.
