Fort Bend County HHS Officials Try to Solicit Unaccompanied Minors to Receive COVID Vaccine
Featured, News, Uncategorized
by Hannah Menslage
On December 15, Fort Bend County's Health & Human Services department commanded a COVID-19 vaccine clinic inside of Jan Schiff Elementary School. The event was permitted and advertised to take place between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m., after school hours.
The reality of this elementary school "COVID Clinic" shocked Jan Schiff Elementary parents.
At 3:30 p.m., merely five minutes after the school bell rang, and a full hour before the permitted event, county representatives seemed to have been soliciting children to get COVID vaccinations without the presence, and in some cases consent, of their parents and guardians.
This technique appears to have been predatory. Jan Schiff Elementary children, who were waiting in a hallway to board the bus, were lined up and individually and repeatedly questioned by county officials about getting the vaccine.
Weston Martinez, former School Board President, Real Estate Commissioner and U.S. Secretary, who adamantly defends Texan rights, has communicated with the first of what he believes to be many parents and children who were preyed upon.
This young student and parent, whose identities will be kept anonymous, shared with Martinez their account of the horrors of the COVID Clinic.
As this child stood in line to get on the bus, a Fort Bend County Health & Human Services official approached them.
"Are you here to get your COVID shot?"
"No ma'am, I'm not here to get my shot."
"Yes ma'am, I'm sure."
This process was repeated on every single child. As the child moved forward in the line, they faced a curtained-off area, with another eager official.
"This is where you're going to get your COVID shot!
"No ma'am, I'm not going to get my shot."
"Oh, are you sure?"
Martinez expressed his outrage toward this county-sanctioned event, noting the psychological intimidation tactics used on the student. "They tried to overcome their objection by using an 'assume the sale,' hard close on a child."
Another concerned parent reveals to us that students may have been groomed to believe that this vaccine was mandatory. Her child's teacher stood up in front of the classroom, stating that "Fort Bend ISD is going to be mandating flu and COVID vaccines so that we can all be healthy, happy Schiff Sharks."
This Jan Schiff Elementary School "COVID Clinic" was the first of two scheduled events. The second event, during which students will be persuaded to get the second vaccine dose, will take place on January 5, 2022.
"I think that we're on the cusp of a medical 9/11," Martinez cautions Fort Bend County residents. "Unsuspecting children were just going about their day on a fall afternoon, when they were put into a 'kill-box,' where they can be systematically approached, solicited and quasi taunted into getting the COVID vaccine shot."
At a press conference early next week, Martinez and his team will be releasing more information about this incident. He revealed that he intends to contact Jan Schiff Elementary school officials immediately and advise them to secure all video footage of the COVID Clinic, along with all sign-in documents and other information requests. This evidence will be sent to Fort Bend County and Fort Bend ISD.
Martinez urges other parents at Jan Schiff Elementary to reach out to him so that they can join in action to defend Fort Bend County children. He assures parents that he will do everything possible to ensure their anonymity if needed.
In a final note, Katy Christian Magazine implores readers to pay attention to the rapid changes in our environment. How is it that county officials were able to enter this elementary school moments after classes were dismissed, and without a parent present, permitted to use persuasive, intimidating tactics on young children? Is this a single "runaway school," or a wide scale, organized and calculated intrusion?
This is a developing story. Please visit our website frequently for crucial updates.

how many days does it take to withdrawl from opiet abuse?
Question by jamis: how many days does it take to withdrawl from opiet abuse?
You will always have cravings but the detox will take several days and is very dangerous. The degree depending on how heavy into the opiates you were.
Also, to be completely honest with you, the best way to deal with it is to move and start a whole new life with different routines away from any of the fellow abusers that you may have run with in the past.
If you are not willing to put yourself into a program right off(which you should eventually no matter how cured you believe yourself to be) you should try to get yourself a sponser or at least a new clean PATIENT friend who will be there for you to turn to in the case of temptations or just moral support in general. Be very careful in choosing this confidant. Many people believe a former abuser to be the best sponser, but sometimes that person could be tempted into relapse along with you, which supports you the opposite way.
So, all in all, there is no "withdrawal" from opiate abuse, but a detox, and the temptations that will never leave for the rest of your life. Opiates are not only the strongest mental addiction, but physical as well, which can cause many nasty tricks to be played on you by your own body and mind.
I myself have never used, but am a close friend and poor girl's "sponser", in a way, to a friend of mine who is currently dealing with her 3rd month clean. So, no sources to give you except 3rd person instigation on the life and the professionals that I've spoken with.
1) Remove this version of your question and re-post your question. Newer questions get more activity on Yahoo! Answers than old ones.
2) If you do re-post your question, consider why it wasn't answered the first time. Could it be more specific? Could it be worded better? Were there grammatical or spelling errors? Was it in the best category? Can you provide more helpful details?
If it doesn't seem likely that re-posting your question will help you, then here's a listing of my favorite 'answer sites'. Maybe one of them will help you.
Since I really haven't answered your question, it is not necessary to give me any points. Regards.

Carbon sequestration bill passes House Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee
By Hannah Grover | 21 hours ago
In the effort to prevent global warming exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius (nearly 35 degrees Fahrenheit), technology like carbon capture and sequestration may be needed, according to reports from groups like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Rep. Meredith Dixon, D-Albuquerque, pointed to that report when presenting a bill that would provide $2.4 million of state money for New Mexico so that the state could seek primacy over Class VI wells. Dixon sponsored House Bill 174 along with Rep. Nathan Small, D-Las Cruces. The bill passed the House Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee on a 6-4 vote.

Q: RN checkbox as card and multi select I've to select one or two cards from a list of cards , where on tap of each card / checkbox , that card gets highlighted (and is selected). Each card has checkbox on it, which shows that particular card through which selection is made. You can re-tap on the same checkbox to unselect it.
I'm pretty new to react native and confused how to achieve this functionality. Here's the code for reference.
import React, { Component } from 'react';

import {View, Image, StyleSheet} from 'react-native';

import { Container, Content, ListItem, CheckBox, Text, Body } from 'native-base';

export default class Career extends Component {
    topics = ['abc','def', 'ghi', 'jkl']
  render() {
    const extract = this.topics.map((topic, i) => {
        return(
            <View style={styles.cardContainer}>
             <Image style={{width:50, height:50}} source={require('../../assets/images/idcLogo.png')}/>
             <CheckBox checked={false}></CheckBox>
             <Text>{topic}</Text>
         </View>
        )
    });
    return (
      <Container>
        <Content>
            <View style={styles.mainContainer}>
          {extract}
          </View>
        </Content>
      </Container>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    cardContainer: {
        borderRadius:5,
        borderColor:"#ccc",
        borderWidth:2,
        justifyContent:'center',
        alignItems:'center',
        width:'50%',
        margin:5
    },
    mainContainer:{
        justifyContent:'center',
        width:'100%',
        alignItems:'center',
        flex:1
    }
})

Please let me know if this you need any other information on this. Thanks in advance

A: I would change the <View style={styles.cardContainer}></View> into <TouchableOpacity style={styles.cardContainer}> then I'll add a function to monitor the changes of the checked status for the button.

*

*I'll add this function before the render function

handleOnTap = (topic) => {
    this.setState(prevState => ({ [topic]: !prevState[topic], });
}

*<Checkbox onPress={() => this.handleOnTap(topic)} checked={!!this.state[topic]} />

*Don't forget to add a key generating elements via this.topics.map; <TouchableOpacity style={styles.cardContainer} key={topic-${i}}>
Hope that helps

Proud dad Bill Pomare laughs when talking about his son Joshua's school days in Rotorua. Although he admits they weren't always that funny at the time.
Speaking to the Rotorua Daily Post about the upcoming launch of Joshua's debut novel Call Me Evie, Pomare said his son often got himself into trouble as a youngster.
"His brain needed to be stimulated at all times otherwise he'd get bored and get up to mischief.
"During his first year at Rotorua Boys' High School, I got a phone call saying Joshua was going to be taken out of the accelerant class because he kept distracting others. He'd finish his work before anyone else and then start talking."
He did get booted out of the class but ended up in a Cambridge class at Western Heights High the next year.
At school, like his two brothers before him, Joshua excelled at maths with the trio all winning the same maths prize.
"But he was always writing.
"I can't remember what newspaper it was but while at school he was having short stories published because people would stop me in the street and ask me if he could write more."
As well as getting kicked out of the accelerant class, Joshua also got booted out of the halls of residence while studying at Victoria University and ended up sleeping on his brother's couch while continuing his studies.
"But he decided to leave university and spent a bit of time drifting around. He'd hitchhike to Otago to catch up with mates, or turn up at one of his siblings' homes and crash for a while."
He did a stint working at his dad's Rotorua electrical business before following his two older brothers to Australia.
"He looked after the front of a business his brothers had set up. When his brothers heard about his book one said it explained why he spent so much time hunched over the computer at work," Pomare laughed.
is Joshua's first successful attempt at a novel, according to his dad.
"Since he's been in Melbourne he's written short stories, run a podcast of author interviews and tried to write a novel or two.
"I think it was the encouragement of his wife that pushed Joshua into sending the Call Me Evie manuscript to a raft of publishers.
"In the end, six Australian-New Zealand publishers were bidding on it. It has also been picked up by publishers in America and the United Kingdom. I'm a very proud dad."
On January 25 Joshua will launch his book at McLeods, and on January 26 and 27 will be a guest at the Rotorua Noir crime-writing festival.
Call Me Evie is about a 17-year-old girl who ends up in the coastal settlement of Maketū under the watchful eye of a man who says he is trying to keep her safe.


When it comes to those basic maths facts, there's nothing like practise, practise, practise. But making them interesting is quite another matter. Here's an irresistible activity you can use with your second grader to send messages in "secret code." Next time you pack a school lunch, for example, try putting in a special note with your love and good wishes … in a code that your child and her friends can decipher over their meal.
Make up some addition problems for your child to solve. Make a decoding sheet to correspond with the answers, and write a letter for each answer to create a message!
Write your message on the decoder key, by making a small line for each letter of the alphabet in the message.
Write out your message lines, and then let your child take a whack at the maths facts to decode your words. The sum of each pair of numbers appears under each line of the message, and matches up with a letter. For a child who is making good progress on maths facts, this is a fairly fast activity … but one that will bring a sense of accomplishment that lasts all day and beyond!

Michigan infrastructure means that most of us rely on a vehicle to get to work and back home again, at the minimum. So when you're in an auto accident, damage to your vehicle can derail you financially and for an extended period of time. It's important to not only understand how vehicle damage claims in Michigan work but to also double check your insurance policy for additional coverages that may save you in the long run.
West Michigan car accident lawyer, Tom Sinas, described these damage claims and the rights your auto insurance may provide recently on Fox 17 Know the Law.
When your vehicle is damaged in a collision, you can recover a maximum of $1,000 from the at-fault party. In most cases, however, $1,000 won't come close to repairing or replacing your vehicle. So where else do you turn to recover these damages? For those who've purchased optional additional coverage – either comprehensive or collision – this is where you obtain additional compensation for your damages.
Comprehensive coverage applies to all types of damage to your vehicle from car accidents to trees falling to deer-automobile collisions. Collision coverage only protects the car if it's in an accident with another vehicle or on its own. These are optional coverages many people overlook. If you think you have PLPD insurance, which is not necessarily a meaningful definition in Michigan, chances are you don't have these additional coverages.
If you've been in a car accident in Michgan, we are here to help you. Call and speak to an experienced auto accident lawyer today at (517) 394-7500.


The iPhone was released in 2007, and it revolutionized the way that we communicate and access information. Smartphones, once a novelty, are now commonplace, in the legal profession. This is because, unlike other types of technology, lawyers jumped on the mobile bandwagon fairly quickly.
As evidenced by the results of the 2017 ABA Legal Technology Survey, lawyers are more mobile than ever before. The reasons are many: mobile computing offers convenience, flexibility, and 24/7 access to important information. Given all the benefits, it's no wonder that lawyers have taken to mobile devices like a fish takes to water.
According to the survey results, lawyers use a number of different types of mobile devices for law-related tasks while away from their offices. Smartphones are the most commonly used, with 96% of lawyers reporting that they used smartphones while outside the office. Lawyers from firms of 10-49 and from firms of 100-499 used them the most often, with both sets of lawyers reporting usage levels at 98%. Next up were lawyers from firms of 500 or more (97%), followed by lawyers from firms of 50-99 (96%), 2-9 (95%), and solos (93%).
Laptops are also popular, with 81% of lawyers using them for law-related purposes while away from the office. Lawyers from firms of 500 or more reported the greatest use of laptops while out of the office (94%). Lawyers from firms of 100-499 were next at 89%, followed by lawyers form firms of 50-99 (85%), 2-9 (83%), 10-49 (82%), and solos. (74%).
Lawyers were the least likely to use tablets for mobile access while away from the office, with 50% reporting that they did so. Lawyers from firms of 500 or more used tablets the most often (61%). Next up were lawyers form firms of 2-9 (52%), followed by lawyers from firms of 10-49 (51%), solos (49%), lawyers form firms of 50-99 (46%), and lawyers form firms of 100-499 (36%).
According to the lawyers surveyed, they used mobile devices from a variety of different locations.The most common place that lawyers used their mobile devices was their home (96%), followed by hotels (93%), while in transit (89%), airports (85%), clients' offices (75%), in the courthouse (70%), and other attorneys' offices (71%).
When it comes to courtroom usage, according to the survey, 57% of lawyers who appear in court have used laptops in the courtroom, up from 46% in 2014. Tops uses for laptops include email (34%), accessing key evidence and documents (33%), legal research (29%), accessing court documents and dockets (27%), calendaring (24%), and delivering presentations (23%).
80% of lawyers who appear in court report using their smartphone in court. Some of the most popular uses include: email (72%), calendaring (58%), real-time communications (44%), legal research (24%), accessing court dockets and documents (15%), and accessing the firm's network (14%).
When it comes to tablets, 38% of lawyers who appear in court reported using them in court. Tablets were used to accomplish a number of tasks, including email (29%), legal research (25%), calendaring (21%), accessing court documents and dockets (16.5%), and accessing key evidence and documents (15%).
So that's how lawyers are using mobile devices to practice law in 2018. How does your mobile device usage compare? If you use your mobiles devices less often than your colleagues, perhaps you're not fully taking advantage of the many benefits the mobile computing offers.
Then again, there are undoubtedly drawbacks to the mobile age, not the least of which is the psychological impact of the perception of 24/7 availability. While it's not always an easy juggling act, the benefits of mobile access are many, both for lawyers and their clients. The key is to find the right balance between the convenience of easy access to information and maintaining the necessary boundaries between work and your home life. Once you've found a balance that works for you, you'll reap the benefits of the flexibility of mobile computing.

Hello, i began developing my new app. i used tabs template, i manage to create one new page and i have a link to this page in text on first tab.
when i open my new page this page is blank, i start to write things i want. the problem is tabs footer it not appearing in this new page.
how can i inherit tabs footer on my new page?

Large product database and many new features including:- pitched roof option; in-situ sprayed foam polyurethane insulation; refrigerated containers, trucks and vans; blast freezers and blast chillers; 'context sensitive' help pages; 'cue' cards; bar graphs and pie charts; conventional 'Windows system' calculation filing, file retrieval and colour printing routines; superb quality report summaries and much, much more. (Includes programs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 below).
7) 'COOLWIND', 8) 'CONDWIND', 9) 'COMPWIND', 10) 'PACKWIND', 11) 'Valvewind' and 12) 'SPLITWIND' Unit cooler, Condenser, Condensing Unit, Compressor, Packaged Refrigeration, Refrigerant Expansion Valve and Split A/C selections from leading manufacturers such as Copeland, Danfoss, Dorin, Kelvion Searle, Kobol, Küba Kältetechnik, L'Unite Hermetique, Lu-Ve Contardo, Maneurop, Marstair, Roller, Samsung, Sporlan, Trenton, Zanotti and etc. Struggling with elusive correction factors and selections methods that vary from one manufacturer to another is a problem of the past. Selects from tens of 1,000's of listed products, shows all viable alternatives complete with precise corrected duties - all in less than 10 seconds ! Select against 'CELLWIND', 'COLDWIND' and 'AIRWIND calculations (as appropriate) or may be run independently. Graphically displays Balance Points when all modules are installed. Also prints out electrical data and dimensions and displays photographs and wiring diagrams etc. on screen from manufacturers' own product literature. Importantly, these programs also calculate sound pressure levels for single or multiple units, (when manufacturers have supplied the necessary data) at the set site boundary distance.
13) 'CELLWIND Pro' Produce accurate and thus competitive beer cellar refrigeration load calculations to brewery specifications. Copes with any shape room plan, various building constructions (including mixed materials), cellars above ground and below (or anywhere in between for that matter), solar gains, product loads and pull down times, running loads, cooler fan loads etc., etc. All built into the program and easy to enter.

Automatically communicates with 'COLDWIND Pro' (Coldroom refrigeration load calculation program) to save re-entering or duplicating data. Create your own database of component costs and labour times/costs.
15) 'LINEWIND' Similar to 'PIPEWIND' as described below but this is the 'junior' version and therefore only deals with a single refrigeration load at a time. Nonetheless a very powerful program, ideal and exceptionally good value for smaller contractors or those generally installing simpler refrigeration systems. (Includes programs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 above).
16) 'PIPEWIND Pro' The not-so-simple task of sizing refrigerant pipework for complicated multi-cooler, multi-circuit ring mains made into child's play. Icon and menu driven with 'ideogram' graphics. Totally error trapped program pays for itself every time it is used - and carries on doing so, time after time after time. Automatically loads without fuss or bother the pressure enthalpy/entropy, viscosity, performance data for many of the new refrigerants, plus the old ones for reference purposes. Steel and copper pipe data plus length equivalence factors for bends, tees and valves etc. all automatically entered so the bare minimum of key information (system duty, temperatures and required lengths) is all that is needed to quickly and accurately display/print correct pipe diameters, pressures, pressure drops and mass flow. Facility to add new refrigerant and alternative pipe information to the program's databases. (Includes programs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 above).

A woman was injured when she fell on the ice on Wood Pond in West Hartford on Thursday afternoon.
The West Hartford Fire Department extricated a woman who was injured in a fall on the ice on Wood Pond Thursday afternoon.
A 3:43 p.m., West Hartford Police and Fire dispatchers received a call that a person had fallen on – not into – the ice on Wood Pond.
Battalion Chief William Kall said that three units responded, including Quint 4, because of the nature of the equipment that was needed to safely extricate the injured party from the ice using a stokes basket.
"Any time we go out onto the ice we need to take extra precautions," Kall said.
Kall said that the victim had sustained injuries to her right leg which were extremely painful but non life-threatening.
Paramedics from the West Hartford Fire Department provided medical care on the ice to stabilize her injury and provide pain management, Chief Greg Priest said.
Kall said that the ice was thick enough to support the weight of an adult, but cracking sounds could be heard as the rescue was taking place. No one fell through the ice, he said.
Kall said that there were skaters on the ice, as well as other bystanders in the area as the rescue was taking place.
The call originally sent emergency responders to Wood Pond Road, but Kall said that the woman was on the ice in the area closer to Waterside Lane, and units were diverted to that side of the pond where they were able to access the ice through the yard of a private residence.
The woman was extricated from the. ice by 4:10 p.m., and transported to Hartford Hospital by an American Medical Response ambulance. She was accompanied by a West Hartford Fire Department Paramedic.
Further information about the woman's condition is not yet available.


Fashion Editor Rachel Bakewell selects her favourite pieces from the month. This week she's admiring the work of artist Faye Wei Wei, discovering new scents from Diptyque and planning ahead for spring summer.
I recently discovered the amazing works of artist Faye Wei Wei. A graduate of the prestigious Slade School of Fine Art, the South London based 24 year old creates large scale dreamy paintings that explore love, masculine tropes and gender identity. I love the kind of fantasy world depicted in her works and the way she embraces femininity.
Forget hair clips and slides, headbands are now the accessory to be seen with. Prada, Miu Miu and Simone Rocha all featured headbands within their SS19 collections and I'm keen to follow suit and embrace the trend. Amazing British brand Crown Love have a gorgeous range of styles that are adorned in velvet, lace, pearls, jewels and flowers. My personal favourite is this white vintage lace and pearl number.
Ulla Johnson has designed the perfect little white dress in a ditsy floral print with beautiful frilly neck and yoke. A mix of cotton and organza makes this perfect for summer and if you can't wait till then, pair with tights to see you through spring.
This brilliant take on the typically utilitarian safari style hat by Ganni is wonderfully refreshing and the perfect summer hat. This classic hat has been updated with a charming ditzy floral print, black top stitching and tie-trim. This design is an exclusive for mytheresa.com, so best get one before they sell out.
This YSL nail varnish is perfect for all occasions. The Clandestine Silver is muted enough that you can wear it everyday, yet the pearl-effect shimmer makes it perfect to wear out in the evenings or to a special occasions.
I've been a big fan of Seoul Import since a friend introduced me to them last year. Not only do they make the most beautiful hair accessories, they are also eco-friendly! I adore this mint rose hair claw, perfect for fuss free hair styling.
Only Alexa Chung could make jelly shoes chic – and that she has! The classic transparent sandal has been updated with a beautiful crystal buckle. Pair with metallic socks for ultimate 90's playground throwback.
My new favourite scent comes from Diptyque and this amazing 'Lys' candle. Smelling of freshly cut lilies, once lit its as though you're surrounded by fresh blooms. Romantic and relaxing.


EDITOR 벤쿠버 메리어트 디렉터 에리카 손에게 들어보는 구스다운 침구 이야기.
7년차 호텔리어인 그녀의 수면에 대한 시선을 들여다본다.
Q. How long have you been with Marriot?
메리어트 근무는 얼마 동안 하셨나요?
A. I worked at Marriott for seven years.
Q. What do you like about working at a top-notch hotel chain such as Marriot?
세계 정상급 호텔 체인 메리어트에서 근무하는 건 어떤 경험인가요?
A. Working in Marriot gives me a pride that I am a part of a global network. I feel great when I get to serve our customers who are world leaders.
메리어트에서 근무하는 것은 글로벌 네트워크의 일부분이 되는 경험입니다. 세계 최정상급 고객들을 맞이하는 것은 보람 있는 일입니다.

스위스에서 공부하신것으로 알고있습니다. 스위스 유학 경험은 어떠셨나요?

Q. Why do you think Goose Down bedding is an important feature for luxury hotels?
왜 구스다운 침구가 럭셔리 호텔에서 사용된다고 생각하시나요?
A. Many of Marriot's guests are traveling far distances. Providing comfort when they're so far from home is one of luxury hotels' priorities; Goose down comforts make that possible.
메리어트의 예로, 럭셔리 호텔 대부분의 고객들은 먼 거리를 여행하는 분들입니다. 고급 호텔은 고객들에게 편안한 휴식를 제공해야 할 의무가 있고, 구스다운 침구는 그것을 가능하게 합니다.
Q. Have you used Goose down duvet before? If yes, for how long?
구스다운 침구를 사용하시나요? 사용하신다면 얼마나 사용하셨나요?
A. Yes I have used goose down duvet all my life for about 30 years.
구스다운 침구를 계속 사용해왔습니다. 30년 정도요.
크라운구스의 어떤점이 가장 마음에 드셨나요?
A. The Design of Crown Goose is very simple, aesthetically elegant, and Crown Goose products are white. Such As they are, the simplicity of the design of Crown Goose feels and looks luxurious.
크라운구스의 디자인은 매우 심플하고, 심미적으로 고급스럽습니다. 크라운구스의 제품은 흰 종류가 많아서 더 그렇습니다. 심플하고 화사한 화이트가 크라운구스를 럭셔리하고 돋보이게 합니다.
Q. Do you feel the difference between Crown Goose Kageyama Sateen Fabric from normal cotton fabric? If yes, please elaborate.
카게야마 사틴 면 패브릭과 일반 면 패브릭의 차이점을 느끼실 수 있었나요?
A. Yes, Crown Goose fabric is softer, more comforting, and always makes me feel relaxed even when I am far away from home.
네, 크라운구스의 패브릭은 더 부드럽고, 더 편안합니다. 집에서 떨어져 있어도 같은 침구를 쓰면 집 같은 편안함을 느끼게 해줍니다.
Q. Do you feel the difference between Crown Goose 875 fill power Polish goose down from normal goose down bedding? If yes, please elaborate.
크라운구스 폴란드산 875 필파워 구스다운은 일반 구스다운과 어떠한 차이점이 있나요?
A. Yes, Crown Goose goose down duvet is fluffier and warmer.
크라운구스는 더 폭신하고 따듯하다는 느낌을 받았습니다.
Q. How does Crown Goose down duvet add to interior features of your room?
크라운구스가 가지는 인테리어적 이점은 무엇이 있을까요?
A. I love accompanying guests at home; so, it's important to me to have a nice set of bedding to provide my guests with a cocoon of comfort at night.
저는 개인적으로 게스트를 집으로 초대하는 것을 좋아하는데요. 편안한 잠자리는 늘 인테리어의 중요한 요소라고 생각합니다.
Q. What does it feel like to wrap yourself in Crown Goose?
크라운구스를 덮었을 때 받는 기분을 표현해주실수 있나요?
A. I feel more relaxed and pampered.
Q. How long do you sleep a day on average?
잠을 평소에 몇 시간 주무시나요?
평균 8시간 정도 수면 시간을 가지고 있습니다.
Q. What does a good night's sleep mean to you?
Q. How did your sleeping pattern or satisfaction changed with Crown Goose down duvet?
크라운구스를 사용하시고 잠자리 패턴이나 만족도의 변화가 있으셨나요?
A. Most of us spend a large percentage of our day outside of our element- stuck in traffic, listening to honking horns, and waiting on the light to turn. Though I am worn out at the end of the day, now I feel thrilled to wrap myself inside Crown Goose and ready to enjoy relaxing at night.
현대인은 대부분 집 밖에서 바쁘게 생활하게 되는데요. 저는 하루의 일과가 끝나고 피곤에 지쳐도, 크라운구스를 덥고 편안한 휴식을 즐기수 있다는 생각에 예전만큼 지치지 않는 것 같습니다.
Q. Crown Goose has held Crown Goose brand party at Marriot for the past two years. We are hoping to continue good relationship with Marriot. Thank you for your time.
크라운구스는 지난 2년간 메리어트 호텔에서 크라운구스 브랜드 파티를 개최해 왔습니다. 메리어트와 현재와 같은 좋은 관계유지를 희망합니다. 감사합니다.
A. Thank you and I hope so too.
네 감사합니다. 저도 그랬으면 좋겠습니다.

So I'm sure that by now, you've heard about the FDA passing a new regulation for Gluten Free labeling. Now, in order to mark Gluten Free on a package, the company must ensure that the food contains no more gluten than 20ppm. Companies have a year to comply, so don't expect it happen instantly, but the regulation is there.
And people are excited about it! I've seen tons of posts on Facebook and different blog postings, celebrating this new victory for the gluten free community.
So I should be happy about it right?
But my first instinct was…. Anger.
Isn't that a strange reaction? I've tried to really think about why I'm not excited about this new regulation. I mean, it's a good thing to have some sort of standard for labeling.
But 20 ppm keeps glaring at me.
I want to live my gluten free life at ZERO ppm.
Is that not possible? Am I fooling myself? Have I eaten foods that have 20ppm and felt fine?
When I feel fine after eating a food…am I really fine?
Maybe that's what makes me angry. The not knowing.
Celiac is such a tricky disease. I mean I didn't know I had it for 25 years…could I be ingesting small amounts of gluten and not know? Could this be harming me on some level that I'm not aware of?
I've talked about this thin line in the past. I first started thinking about it when a few new beers came onto the market that claim to be gluten free but they're brewed with barley. The finished product has between 10 and 20 ppm of gluten, so they get to be labeled as gluten free.
But I haven't tried those beers. In fact, I get a little annoyed when bartenders tell me they no longer carry a beer I trust, because they've switched to another beer….that I don't trust.
So is 20ppm safe? I don't know. And honestly, no one knows for sure. Research is being done,but there are no conclusive facts right now.
All this uncertainty leaves me feeling…unsure. Unsure about how I feel about this new regulation.
I would love to know your thoughts on this issue friends!


To expose students to the real life of working artists, they are matched, through a careful application and interview process, with prominent artists who offer encouragement, practical advice and guidance, as well as assistance in completing an art project suitable for professional presentation in a high profile cWOW exhibition (See Part Four below). In turn, the student assists the artist, in his or her studio, with a project that might not otherwise have been possible without extra help. Most importantly, we believe that the creation of a personal bond between young and mature artists can be an extremely powerful and positive force in the education and encouragement of promising art students. The Mentor receives detailed guidelines on the program's goals along with helpful tips on how to work with the student. Each Mentor/Student pair meets twice weekly for 2 hours each meeting.
To teach students about the inside workings of galleries and museums, ArtReach offers direct experience in the professional administration of an arts organization. A working knowledge of the business of art is essential to a student's future success as an artist. Each intern gains hands-on experience with slide registries (cWOW has the largest of any gallery in New Jersey), exhibition installations, mailings, openings, databases, photographing artworks, and all other gallery operations. The Interns also receive hands-on computer training through which they produce the promotional materials for the ArtReach Exhibition (See Part Four). They design the announcement cards and exhibition catalog.
To instruct students in practical, methodical career planning, ArtReach presents a semester-long series of lectures to school classes, and even full student assemblies, by working artists who share expertise and advice on the practical techniques and methodology of creating and sustaining a career in fine art. The artists stress the importance of capitalizing on the many opportunities already available to students, such as art competitions, mural projects, set design, etc., and how these activities can form the basis of a coherent career strategy. Participating artists are selected through a formal interview process. Special attention is given to role models relevant to the many minority students at New Jersey's high schools.
To offer students a professional exhibition opportunity, ArtReach concludes each year with a high profile exhibition of art by the Artist Mentors and their Student Assistants (see Part One), organized with the participation of the Student Interns (see Part Two) who help design the announcement card, catalog and installation. Previous ArtReach exhibitions have been consistently reviewed by the New York Times and the Star Ledger. cWOW's exhibitions are seen by many thousands of viewers each year. Special viewings are arranged for school groups and this show, like all those at cWOW, is free and open to the public, providing an opportunity to see the results of a successful community-based cultural project in a fully professional environment.

Experts and the general public think about CO2 removal very differently
in ways that could profoundly influence climate change policy
By Sarah DeWeerdt
According to climate experts, it's increasingly likely that meeting the Paris Agreement's targets will require carbon dioxide removal—technologies that pull excess carbon dioxide out of the air. But a new study reveals that carbon dioxide removal is still poorly understood by the general public, whose ambivalence and lack of knowledge could hamper efforts to roll out these technologies fast enough to stop climate change.
Researchers conducted an online survey of about 1,000 people each in the United Kingdom and the United States. They chose to focus on these two countries because both have industrialized economies that emit high levels of greenhouse gases, and will almost certainly need to use carbon dioxide removal to reach net-zero emissions.
Less than 10 percent of people in each country said they knew "a great deal" or "a fair amount" about carbon dioxide removal, the researchers report in Nature Climate Change. Respondents worried that these technologies might have negative impacts on the environment, and that focusing on carbon dioxide removal could distract from efforts to cut carbon emissions. But overall, people hadn't really made up their mind.
While large surveys can reveal what people think, more in-depth methods like focus groups can reveal why they think that way. This is especially important for topics where public knowledge is relatively poor and opinions aren't very fixed. So the researchers also conducted workshops in six communities: a large city, medium-sized college town, and rural area in each country.
The workshop participants listened to a brief presentation on ways to reduce climate change, then viewed posters about three carbon dioxide removal technologies. They discussed their thoughts, questions, and concerns with the rest of the group, went home and talked about what they had learned with someone they knew, and came back on a second day for more discussion.
The carbon dioxide removal technologies covered in the workshops were bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, in which large areas are planted with fast-growing crops which are then burned for energy with the resulting carbon dioxide sequestered underground; direct air capture, in which a chemical process is used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; and enhanced rock weathering, which involves grinding up certain kinds of rocks and spreading them on farmland or in the ocean to sop up carbon dioxide.

Climate scientists generally think of these approaches as addressing the root cause of climate change: the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. But they don't address what the workshop participants saw as the root cause: human-caused carbon emissions.
The upshot is that workshop participants viewed carbon dioxide removal as potentially incompatible with their vision for a sustainable society because it could facilitate continued burning of fossil fuels. Therefore, the public may not support these technologies being used widely unless there are strong efforts to reduce emissions as well, the researchers conclude.
Climate experts think of carbon dioxide removal, in part, as a strategy to buy time to develop and deploy ways to reduce emissions. But here was another difference from the public point of view: given the lack of maturity of carbon dioxide removal technologies, workshop participants were skeptical that they could be rolled out fast enough to make a difference against climate change in the time frame necessary.
Such views could make it harder for carbon dioxide removal technologies to gain the kind of public acceptance necessary for them to be used at a large scale. In another sense, though, the findings also represent good news. They indicate that members of the public increasingly view climate change as an urgent, right-here-right-now problem. On this, climate experts and the general public are in agreement.
