A Change in the Weather
Paper Thin
Emily Claire Afan
An empty studio desk at the Weather Network headquarters in Oakville, Ontario never stays empty for long. Within seconds, it becomes scattered with lipstick-stained coffee cups, maps of Canada and piles of meteorological data printouts. Suzanne Leonard Feliz, the afternoon program host, leans forward, pen poised over her maps, listening as the studio meteorologist on the other side of the desk briefs her on the latest conditions across the country. Five computer monitors glow with radar and satellite images, showing current fronts, plotted temperatures and precipitation for Atlantic Canada. "This is a big country, where weather is always changing," explains Feliz. "There's a lot to learn as a presenter and a lot of responsibility as you're passing along this information. It's not just talking for a living – it's talking, focusing, listening, concentrating, remembering, targeting and compiling. You're making journalistic decisions all the time whenever you're live."
Weather is a serious business – and not just at the Weather Network. For years, on-air weather broadcasters longed for credibility as hard-working journalists, not just sunny smiles and good-looking faces. While that may have been the case in the early days of chalkboard maps and grease pencils, technological advancements in the science of forecasting have changed audiences' and television executives' attitudes toward weather presentation. The past decade has seen more maps, more data and more weather information for the public than ever before, and people can't get enough.
A survey of 3,000 people conducted by Ipsos-Reid and the Weather Network in 2004 showed that more than eighty per cent of adults go out of their way to check the daily forecast. (An Environment Canada survey produced similar statistics.) With those numbers, it's clear that weather broadcasters have a responsibility to break down complex meteorological data and deliver the weather in a journalistic fashion that strives to be accessible, timely, newsworthy and, above all, accurate.
Weather reporting has come a long way since September 8, 1952, when Percy Saltzman not only became the first person to appear on English television in Canada, but also the first weatherman. As part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during the Second World War, Saltzman prepared forecasts under the direction of the Meteorological Division of the Department of Transport and taught meteorology to air crews.

Though he was more than qualified to explain the weather to a national audience, it wasn't easy to convince CBLT-TV, now CBC Toronto, of that fact. In early 1952, newspapers began printing announcements that Canada was headed for television and Saltzman sent a proposal to the station. "They didn't think weather had a place," recalls the 91-year-old, with a smile. "Who would want to watch a guy, a talking head, talk about the weather: the most boring thing in the world? That was their view then. They also had that same view about news. They said, 'We're not going to have news on television. Who wants to watch a talking head talk about news? Boring!' Of course, they were wrong on both counts."
But news directors began to see weather as an integral part of the newscast. Gradually, weather broadcasters evolved from reciters of Environment Canada forecasts to broadcasters with meteorological training. Advancements in technology, including the Doppler radar, which converts radio waves into images, and the U.S.-based WSI weather system with high-resolution satellite imagery used by CTV, CNN and NBC, have provided increasingly accurate forecasts.
"It's never going to be an exact science," says Sylvia Kuzyk, co-host and weather reporter for CTV News in Winnipeg. "Now we have a tremendous wealth of tools at our disposal and it's a more high-tech job. People are demanding good weather information." That's why Frank Cavallaro is known for fighting for more on-air time. Whenever CTV Montreal's weather presenter is brushed aside for wanting to increase weather coverage, he pulls out his secret weapon: a copy of a 2004 article from The Cincinnati Enquirer that quotes a journalism assistant professor at the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University in Athens as saying, "The No. 1 reason people watch local news is for the weather. It's the one story that affects everybody."
While neither Kuzyk nor Cavallaro holds a degree in meteorology, both have presented the weather for so long (twenty-five and eighteen years, respectively) and gained such extensive backgrounds that it comes as naturally to them as if they were certified meteorologists – which is one hope for Dr. Neil Campbell. In 1994, the former executive director of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) helped introduce a program that endorses broadcasters who have meterorological training, a meteorology degree, or professional broadcast training with sufficient knowledge in meteorology to present weather in a scientifically correct manner. "Back then, stations didn't care about the weather – it was pared down to a few seconds on air," remarks Campbell. "But CMOS members were complaining about the weather quality on television, that people were just reciting the forecast without really understanding what they were talking about." Over the years, almost fifty Canadian broadcasters have met the CMOS endorsement criteria for high quality weather presentation – Kuzyk and Cavallaro included.
Regardless of their educational backgrounds, weather broadcasters, like journalists, must be good communicators. They aren't just spewing scientific jargon about jet streams and dewpoints – they're educators of meteorological knowledge. "How many times have you watched a weather forecast wanting to know whether it was going to rain the next day, and when the forecast was over, you still didn't know?" asks Paul Rogers, vice-president of news and news director at CTV Toronto. "The green blob on weather maps is just a green blob until someone can explain it to you."
Though U.S. networks generally hire meteorologists, a symptom of the wide range of extreme weather in that country, the same isn't true on this side of the border. "Some meteorologists don't work on TV," explains Ian Haysom, news director at Global B.C. "If I had an opening, it really would depend on the person. The audience has to believe weather people have the knowledge."
When Campbell began the CMOS endorsement program, he discovered that broadcasters with meteorological training were often more successful at delivering a forecast than meteorologists, some of whom were "so dry and technical that no one could follow them."
But Campbell also stresses the importance of a broadcaster having a solid weather background, and with stations such as the Weather Network, which offers extensive, inhouse meteorological training, he says credentials are fundamental to the profession. And, in times of severe weather, having a knowledgeable on-air personality who can immediately explain the scientific cause behind a weather event is far more efficient for the station and helpful for the viewers.
That's one reason why on-air meteorologists are valuable assets for networks. Meteorologist Chris Scott, co-host of the Weather Network's national evening program, grew up watching the U.S.-based Weather Channel on satellite. In states such as Florida, which are prone to severe weather, he says meteorologists are crucial in the interpretation of data to deliver the necessary safety information to viewers. Before a hurricane, for example, a meteorologist can track the storm's path and give people ample time to prepare, or even evacuate, before it hits. With increasingly advanced weather information available to the public, the demand for more specific information will become greater over time.
"We're not going to see it being all scientists on air, but you'll see more of them in the future," says Scott, who holds a master's degree in atmospheric science. "People are getting more educated about meteorology, and they have a little bit more hunger for the in-depth information."
And when it comes to satisfying that craving, weather broadcasters are serious about having the same high standards as news reporters. Like any reputable journalist, weather people arrive at the station hours before broadcasting to prepare the forecast, checking for breaking news and updates right until the final seconds before airtime. In fact, the weather often becomes the news. When that happens, news reporters may take over the story, but weather broadcasters still play a vital role in deconstructing important meteorological angles of what's happening before, during and after the weather event.
Mike Piperni, news director of CTV Montreal, calls the ice storm of 1998 that hit parts of eastern Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, a "significant moment of weather in this province that really put weather on the map." Weather-related reports were leading each newscast at the time. "Weather people were working as reporters, as journalists, going to local shelters," recalls CTV Montreal's Cavallaro, "but we also had to do our own work, like explain the cause of all the freezing rain."
The simple fact that forecasters can see what's coming well before it hits gives media outlets the opportunity to provide the public with vital information, including local area weather warnings and the impact of the severe weather on the public. Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips says the media do a tremendous job of this, but there is also the real danger of over-dramatizing the weather. "Information should be played, not hyped," he says. "There's a sensational way and an authoritative, reliable way. You can't always trust the public to know what's right and wrong."
And with a history of weather broadcasters' fondness for gimmicks, achieving authority can sometimes be a challenge. Cavallaro hosts the Great Zucchini Challenge in early autumn, in which viewers send in photos of large or oddly shaped zucchinis. "It began as a joke," he says. "Once I brought this five-footlong zucchini into the station from my grandfather, who said the right amount of sun and rain will give you a great zucchini. And when people told Cavallaro they didn't grow zucchinis – they grew tomatoes – he started another contest called Show Us Your Tomatoes.
Early in her weather career, CTV Winnipeg's Kuzyk swung onto the studio set on a tire swing. Tamara Taggart, of CTV Vancouver, has been known to chase pigs, milk cows and deliver the forecast while cooking dinner at a viewer's home. She was also named best TV weather person and best TV personality by Vancouver's Georgia Straight in its annual readers poll from 2002 to 2004. While such antics may make for fun viewing, the real challenge is to have personality without the gimmicks, and that's a balance that successful weather broadcasters have reached. "It's important to be fun and accessible but not goofballs," says Global B.C. news director Ian Haysom.
This past Halloween, Global Ontario's Michael Kuss donned a cloud costume with a sun-shaped hat while delivering his forecast, but aside from the occasional exception of a fun holiday, he remains engagingly informative on a daily basis without the props. "There isn't always a lot going on, so you have to have fun," admits Kuss, who says gimmicks are becoming a trend of the past. "The station isn't going to show a politics story if there's no story in politics, but we will always have to show the weather."
Despite the strides weather broadcasters have made in being seen as real journalists, there will always be those who disagree, even among their own ranks. "Weather is not large-J journalism, it's a smaller-J journalism," says Zack Spencer, weather anchor for the morning news at Global B.C., who prefers a more down-to-earth approach instead of an emphasis on maps and weather graphics, which he says detracts from the forecast rather than enhances it. "While it's all those things about affecting people, being timely and accurate as possible, at the end of the day, it's just the weather."
But for Feliz, the weather is a journalistic story that Canadians want – and need – to know, and for the eight years she's been at the Weather Network, she's delivered that story five days a week. "Some pers-para-pre-bleh! Perpetual precip. Precipitation! Too many Ps in that sentence!" Feliz smiles, shrugging off her on-screen error, and finishes the rest of her sentence with ease. In a matter of minutes, the CMOS-endorsed weather broadcaster has run through the country's forecast, including current temperatures, precipitation, isobar lines and an indication of where snow will fall from coast to coast.
With the cameras off, Feliz steps away from her spot in front of the green screen flanked by trios of TV monitors and relaxes at the studio desk. "You have to remember what's important to people and what it all means," she says. "If you can connect with people and give them the straight goods and the information they need in a timely and effective fashion, and it's accurate, then you're off to the races."

This is news talk 97.3 in the us now. Some tough road show live and local your time Jack is brought to you by. Prestige Kay's jewel is what the answer is always just very special guests in a studio first time Ed bill are ski as a general manager. Of G are you there the utility company that serves. Gainsville and much of the surrounding area as well and Ed welcome to the show will thank you so much is this seat war are your ears burning. No I'm I'm actually a pretty good day in the neighborhood about. Well it's fantastic look welcome on board because. You know Jerry Lewis had their issues and I first went to tell everybody. In my opinion and I was Jerry customer for a long time. The service that I got from Jerry was fantastic people who work there interacting with them has always been a joint. It's always been about rates. And I always try to remind people that. GRU who takes their marching orders from the city commissioners in the city of Gainesville so if you live in the city of Gainesville and you don't show up to vote. They're 12% show up. Don't cry about the issues. That impact every day that I beg people to participate and I think people not to. You know to make sure that they're folks didn't. Promote the biomass plant and vote for it and it got pushed through of course so you. I joined the club had you get hired on you know it's like a look at this beautiful house Gainesville GA are human is oblique. Ron power company man it's so good got water and everything and then wow there's like a huge crack in the foundation not literally but. The biomass plant over your first thoughts. Well I I certainly understood the situation with the of the biomass facilities and it wasn't so much the technology you're that or the plan itself. It was a function in the contract. The contract imposed additional costs. On on the customers. On that. Quite honestly we were talking before we came on air I mean almost one quarter. Of our electric rate is due to that violence Contra. A substantial 25%. Now before they even have the biomass plant. Jerry intended to have rates that were part of an average middle of the pack was a really middle of the pack for and and when you say that. Because people like to work with the numbers and push from around. Do we still operate under a tiered system it Gerri you yeah last week we have a two tiered system. It's just too I think at one time corrective and I was three I think it was okay. So how does that work. With a two tiered system. Well the tiered system is the lower rates are built in conservation rates so either they're lower. The higher tiers or higher for the larger consumers. Well but you say conservation. So if I've got five people in my family. And we're consuming X amount of power. And then there is so let's just say he one person living head down the street. NA can't you know in a smaller house. But their bill is not you know another words their consumption I'm actually being more. Conservative minded when you look at an hour per capita basis. As far as electricity used by persons in the home. So how can you really say it's under the guise of conservation. But that's kind of the euphemism we use. For the first year I came before you got to her right and not I I agree with you I mean one of the problems with having the tiered system is that. Everybody. Gets that first year. You know if you if you're using 15100 KW you're still getting that first year so it's not so much conservation for. You know people only up to that so it does have some it is problem. And it was an interesting dynamic too because in most cases in business the that the better customer you are the more you are spending more quantity your purchasing. You would actually receive a discount vs the smaller buyer user etc. And we do the inverse here and the other thing that's interesting is it's such an important part of the tax base of the city of Gainesville didn't. You would think the dead. They would actually want people to consume their product because. They use it for taxing purposes right. Yes we have we have a utility tax that so on top of the bill well I mean I remember when I changed out some much less efficient. Air conditioners and other appliances. In hopes of you know saving money on my power bill and Jerry you announced a race. Because he said people were so good. In the conserving a power we have to raise our rates to make up that shortfall I mean. How do you think you with a straight face addressed that today to the great pairing consumer. Well we are great content first let me say that Gainesville customers are great and servers. Of electricity. And it's not unusual for utilities to have that inverse. It's it's a matter of philosophy in watcher and it's hard to change it. So we're not unusual in the electric utility business you you can have higher users in some systems pay more and others you pay less. It's a it's a matter of the philosophy of the community and if they they want conservation. Only one they wanna limit resources that are used for electricity. I'm sorry how how we rank in terms of business. Users and there there race vs business in another part of the state. Or or commercial business rates are at a high instance they are I was on electricity. You or residential rates are the third. On. What it would amount of control would you have as a general manager to have an impact on those rates or is that sent by the city commission because I would consider that sort of an anti business. Move if you will because they have to consider expenses when when locating. An area like this sure. Well it is problematic for us and it is challenging. Because we are absorbing the cost of the biomass power purchase agreement. Our own and it does get skewed toward commercial rates. We bring budgets fourths through the commission every year they do set the rates for us. That's why this is so important to consider buying the biomass facility because that opportunity will allow us. To reduce that 75 million dollars that we're paying every year. And in and reduce it to a level where we could see a substantial rate reduction for both commercial and residential customers. Well I think it makes sense to purchase said if you can make financial sense of it so I guess meant next question is you think gray equity even salad and if they would. Would they sell it at a price that makes sense in other words we're gonna see immediate and long term savings. Oh absolutely. I mean I wouldn't be pursuing this habit spending the last month and a half talking with the officials at correct. We're probably in the last stages of a memorandum of understanding which is a non binding. Agreement but it is. Setting the framework for the development of a contract. This would we've actually had. Several meetings with the city commission as well as several with the utility advisory board just to discuss the elements of that. This is I gotta tell you about this is unprecedented. In terms of Gainesville and the disclosure what negotiations are the which had a PowerPoint that I can put up here and show everybody. A but I forgot this is radio. Does it benefit you. As somebody who is involved in ongoing negotiations is a benefit EU. To have transparency. On your side or is it actually. An impediment to getting that the deal done well. What would be nice is if transparency existed on the other side when you're negotiating yeah we get this we get the opportunity to show our hand we don't get to see the other site's hand. So to that extent I it is difficult it is challenging. But it's something that you just have to learn to adapt and and change with. Yeah I mean a thousand correct side you know I'd be measuring the political wind and well and and CG wander you know how high we could go on the price may still advise and I mean look Sarah. That's served that served a commercial company I mean their they have a fiduciary responsibility of their stakeholders to make as much profit as they can whether it's on the in house sale of these. They debt limit trying to do a deal where they would always that they would cellular bio mass but. The structure something they would still keep what was the what was that initial deal I read about. I think few years ago they looked at a possible prepayment. Of the obligations under the power purchase agreement they would Stallone. That didn't get. Off far off first base if you will. But if he won a little bit of inside baseball on that you're talking about what they watch you know we had a meeting the other day where we talked about of the ammo you have the chart we've had. Let's see MOU. Memorandum of understanding. We had all the negotiations lined up from what we wanted and what we've got. And during the meeting I had my CFO just a lot come up and talk to the commission and as we are talking a kind of put my arm around them and said you know this is my my guy. In discussions with Jim Gordon he said it was kind of touching to see that as he was watching at the C that the closeness between. You know Justin and myself so he's an indication he got a guy up in Boston going negotiating with who's watching the full level of these negotiate I'll expose. Stand out which is not a bad thing but like you said it's kind of unfair because they don't have to show anything. When we return after this break we're talking head bill are ski is the general manager of G are you talking about the possibility of buying the biomass plant on and ask him. Is there any way. We can use implant a switch it over and maybe burn another fuel argument opportunity to address that next. On the Bob Rochelle news talk 97.3 this guy. Like three. Tied to anyone on the Bob Rhodes show time Jack brought to you by prestige Hayes Jewelers. When he answers always yes and bill are Steve's a general manager of GRU and east about you know take it upon himself to agree to come in and talk about. In this it's very that controversial irritating for some and it is the possible purchase of the biomass plant. At how does this benefit the customers of GRU if indeed a purchase Coastr. I'm glad you asked Bob. I expect that in what's happening right now is under the power purchase agreement and and and look you know people here power purchase agreement what's. Really around releasing this power plant over thirty years we have 27 years left. We're gonna spend two point one billion now themselves. Two point one billion dollars over the next point seven years. If and and the reason for that is rack is spent half a billion dollars to build the facility. And are used getting an investor rate of return which is double digits. That drive that two point one billion dollars. When the so what we're doing is I think when you're advertiser says you know you want to own something suit. You don't pay somebody's mortgage we pay grips mortgage we also pay their equity investors. So we can buy it for 750 million dollars we can borrow at three and a half percent. And we can save 650. Million dollars. It will drive and eight to 10% reduction in customers' rates you mentioned business business as well as residential. So that's the driving force behind what we're looking. Now. Are you including 'cause I get confused on this when you talk about the savings. And let's just say you don't run a plan at all you're still gonna save all that money but if you run it. Does that cut into that savings because the rate because it cost more to run it then it would two to get the coal dear human right right. Well I think that's a great question I'm glad you answer that they asked that because there's so many people that don't understand that. My assumption for 650 million dollars of savings is maintaining it. In standby in other words haven't staffed. With 35 to forty employees ready to rock and roll. Whenever they're needed I haven't taken into account any economic dispatched. Its just. I'll give you the analogy it's like you have a chauffeured limousine it's sitting outside you're paying 194000. 709 dollars a day. There have that thing ready to go up that's what Greg's doing right now it would stay in that mode but be under our ownership. Right so we're not taking into account it running. At all to get that 650 million dollar savings in fact if it weren't there'd be a savings. Who's wooden staff. You could actually moth ball for a period of time while natural gas prices were so low. Could you switched at plant over. And American economic sense if you could but you switch it over to burn. Natural gas or something else because my understanding innocent before your time. When they were presenting possible biomass plants one of their companies came forward to Saturday you know the beauty of ours as you can switch you can burn nests or cola or natural gas or even trash I think it was. And that. Never many have thought that's the direction they go if they did and all but is this can we fix this plant. We can fix it but levee answer answer answer your question first. That it has a bubbling bed. Boiler technology. Which is very you know it's like a circulating flu did fluid dies bid boiler. They can burn all kinds of material right now what would you could do wood pellets you could do trash you can dual host of things. Natural gas isn't really one of whom it used as a start up fuel it gets the bed established. So they convert over to about. You know 1520 megawatts over to. Solid fuel as opposed to get us to guess isn't really that technology. Particularly at this moment but there are opportunities for other fuels but what we see is important is. The ability to get down below seven megawatts. Because right now when we run on we gotta go to seven megawatts and no less. Because that's the term of the contract. And it also. They haven't done some of the though the boiler tuning and some of the other ancillary work with duct work to allow it to get down that. That level and comply with pollution controls we believe for a modest sum of maybe fifteen million dollars we could converted to run to 25 megawatts. And then he would be adaptable on our fleet we could run it up and down we could do all kinds of things like peak. Our summertime middle of the day and hot. Because no brownouts known other because you've got to sign back up and you can turn on you've you've got to use you're part of that you understand it yes. We would probably some point use it for replacing low regulation at the granddaddy of our fleet. Unit one at deer haven which is build in the sixties so where that's gonna probably be retired in 2022. So this could replace it and avoid an additional cost of a 150 to 200 million dollars. As real savings. As far as how clean the coal being burned at deer haven is now. Are we above the standard Sino one time we were years ahead but I don't yes this was years ago so where are way. We. It at about the same time that the the biomass plant was built. We under took a lot of oath increased standards in the in the in the plant I think it somewhere in the order 125 million dollars spent. Out there for more scrub. I always wondered. The anti coal attitude. Come and then people care about planet earth. I thought well who would burn coal cleaner us or China. Or India because China built 300 coal fire plants what we closed down about the same amount. Yeah the standards for coal plants in the United States is is much higher of them elsewhere in the world. And as a result of that we do have a thing called clinical. So it from an interest rate perspective from an overall deal if things go through the way they stand now we hear negotiation would Greg. Consumers. Would save a lot of money and eight to 10% reduction across the board is what you're talking about absolutely. And how close do you think you art of making it a deal happen. We are at the moment. Looking weak we have the price. We have interest rate protections so that if interest rates go too high we can terminate the contract. We have an exclusivity period which means that we can negotiate only with Greg and Greg can only negotiate with a loss over a period of time. A we have this whole set of issues that have been. Vetted by the city attorney. So not the same city attorney and invented the original contract would crack. No we have we have a different city attorney general Eric and I'm Nicole Shelley very sharp young lady. And we also have Winston strong which is a nationally recognized law firm that's looking at this one I'm glad you brought up that I can make one more point here. One of the things that makes this different in the previous transaction we will have rating agencies. Rate this transaction. And we will have bondholders will door roadshow will go to New York probably Chicago San Francisco and bondholders will look at this and and you know you have the luxury of them vetting it as well. What would have probably a mock. Rating agency. Approval. And we actually had investors calling us now saying how can we invest in us which is. The gold standard. I just wanted to know at the end of the day. Who would be responsible for the contract. Because I still would like to know who was responsible for the previous contract. I mean I don't know how anybody could could look at that was good conscience and say this is a reasonable good contract I mean I would make my worst enemy signed something like that. While tell you one of the the issues that I've seen is the reduction of that contract and people weren't able to see it right now. Divorcing the full MOU I have something on the order of ten revisions. The memorandum of understanding. Are you concede. And in the public arena the conversations I've had with Jim Gordon and and when they own than the emails we've had back and forth. You can see what changed all along the way that will continue through this whole process. There's a timeline and it it's out there in the public. Ed bill are skewed general manager of GR you we appreciate it we know it's not an easy job and I get Ernie tell you're looking after the rate payers into an investor can and it's. Typical political climate here in in Gainesville sometimes enough and I just wanna say thanks in Cuba to go to work and reopen turns out well for everybody. Thank you very much I appreciate being here in tune of Bob Rose show it is at 930 were about fifteen minutes away from things that make you smile hi guys.

Amalgamation with Idriss D
Author : Lee Trotter
Amalgamation – The action, process, or result of combining or uniting
What started as a collection of singles for Memento Records' "Dib 00" series quickly transformed into a full-length album from Idriss D. Starting Memento Records with Italian producer, Fabrizio Maurizi, in 2006, Idriss D has conceived a strong catalog of releases with "Amalgamation" marking his first official album.
From the peak time mysticism of "Transition" to down right techno groovers such as "Casa Baratas", the album feels appropriate for listening both inside and out of the club. With eight tracks clocking in at just under an hour, "Amalgamation" is a strong release from one of the great techno producers of our time.
Idriss D recently took some time to answer some questions for us regarding his debut album, favorite clubs in Italy, how he and Fabrizio Maurizi initially met, among other techno banter.
You can read the full interview below while listening to an exclusive premiere of "Strong Hayet" off the new album
Amalgamation is available December 18th, 2015 through Memento Records on Beatport
Greetings Idriss! Where are you these days? How is the Winter season treating you?
Like always, I spend 2-3 days at home to try and recuperate while I keep touring. Winter for me is going great with a lot of satisfaction.
Can you tell me about the title of the album? What does "Amalgamation" mean to you?
Amalgamation for me is the result of my experience during the last few years music-wise, marketing, and booking-wise…I tried to elaborate on all the knowledge I've picked up from the studio until presenting with my team.
The album was initially a collection of singles for the "Dib 00" series, correct? At what point did you feel they could all stand on their own and tell a story with the album?
I decided to start producing music again last year. The release schedule of Memento was pretty busy, so in order to avoid changing anything drastically I created my own series on Memento called Dib. I released two tracks at first and these EPs made me feel more secure about producing again, with all the support and feedback I got. So I started to re-work and go through the songs again, but this time with an album in mind and decided to make this risky jump and new challenge. It's my baby.
The whole album is really great, and there are a few tracks we can't stop listening to! What are some of your favorites off the album?
Thank you, happy you like it! I actually love all the tracks. Of course, I play some more than others such as Karma, Amalgamation, Rip ouarda and Strong Hayer.
The title track, "Amalgamation", is a real gem – a great composition of sounds and arrangement with a hypnotizing atmosphere! It also seems to have a much different vibe then the rest of the album. Can you tell us a little about this track?
I got the idea for the track being at the famous terrace at Amnesia in Ibiza, I think it captures the sunrise after a party mood.
What is your ideal studio set up and essential items to have with you when making music?
I prefer a simple set up, I'm not able to work with a complicated one. I'm not what some would consider a production nerd, so Ableton Live plus some analogue gear like Moog, Prophet and Korg MS20
In what ways were you influenced by Italian nightlife and music culture?
In Italy my start up in a professional way started with Stefano Borelli. Let's say one of the first and most creative promoters I've ever met. The first time was his party at Maffia Club, the line up was just great going from Jazzy Jeff to Massive Attack, Luciano, Marco Carola, Francois K – it was real clubbing. 600 capacity, dark, no tables, just music!
What are some of your favorite venues throughout Italy?
Cocorico, Barn, Ilmuretto, Guendalina, Amnesia Milano, Uncode, Klang, Guernica and many more. They all have different dimensions and in every club I have a piece of my heart.
Your label, Memento Records, will be celebrating 10 years in 2016. Can you tell us about the past few years with the label?
Yes! 10 strong, lovely years. Lots of sacrifices of time and finances along the way, but a lot of great music at the same time. I never accepted any compromise releasing big artists or generic "tech house" records. I always signed records I liked even with a small number of sales and now we're collecting the fruits of our hard labour, it's a good result.
How did you and Fabrizio Maurizi meet?
I was hanging in a club where he was playing, we didn't know each other at the time but I wrote to him on myspace to say: "Wow your set mate was a bombe!" he responded asking if it was really me and thanked me for getting in touch. I think he was so humble and happy to get my message. We fixed a meeting in Mantova straight away, he brought me some tracks and I signed them without even having a label. We created Memento and struggled a lot to find 900 euros in order to pay the first release. We decided to stop working together a few years ago, he was helping me with A&R for the label. We're still great friends though, and I love him like a brother.
Do you have anything planned to celebrate the labels anniversary?
It's a secret!
What's your favorite way to relax when away from music?
I rarely get time to be away from music, if I'm not touring I'm playing with my Rane mixer and some new wax :)
How will you be spending the New Year?
I'll be in Amsterdam playing for Daniel Sanchez party at Westerunie!
Sounds great! Idriss, thanks for taking the time! Happy holidays and have a great 2016!

Go un-noticed while this organic & natural deodorant works undercover. Put it on right after the shower for effective prevention – reapply as needed. Baking soda helps prevent odour, while arrowroot absorbs perspiration. Coconut oil has anti-fungal and antiseptic properties. Stealth has a spicy, clean aroma.
Carefully: Twist tube up to 1/4 cm and apply directly to the underarm area. Rub into skin until it disappears. Reapply as needed. For best results, apply immediately after towel drying post shower. Pure essential oils help control the bacteria from forming, cuz that's what makes you stink! A fresh, balancing scent that will leave you smelling clean, works with coconut oil's anti-fungal properties and the highly absorbent arrowroot powder.
No chemical hardeners in this product, so it will melt under high heat! If this does happen, the product can still be used, gently tap back down into the base of the container and place in the fridge to harden.

So, I'm LOVING the deodorant...it is the first natural deodorant that actually works for me!! Not only am I happy about it, but I'm sure the people around me are as well. It is nice to have a product that I feel comfortable having my daughter use as well...in fact, the next time I order some (soon), I'll be picking up a couple extras for some of my daughters friends (as their moms have been enquiring about them).

I suppose it has to happen: if you're a junior teen in an all-boys school and your name is Bettleham, you'll be called Loonybin. But this was a lad of robust physique and intellect, armed against any insult with a robust sense of humour too; his mother, who was German and loved Shakespearean metaphor, used to say the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune slid off him like rainwater off a dog's back.
Loonybin's father, now, he was a veterinary surgeon of great repute in Mooi River se wêreld. Not actually in the village itself, that is, because he wasn't that sort of vet who fixes pusscats and peoples' puppies, but a specialist horse-doctor in a very horse-loving part of Natal. Why, he could even fix a broken horse-leg, which normally spells doom for the poor patient.
He had a small farm just out of town, you see, and there had set up a little hospital with cosy hay-filled stalls and overhead slings and things to take the weight off horses' hooves, also a full-on operating theatre with an assistant nurse. And during school holidays Loonybin was allowed to act as theatre assistant, his special duty being to give the anaesthetised patient a good post-op shot of vitamin B with a hypo-syringe the size of a bicycle pump. You know, for a feeling of well-being. When I'm grown up I will be a vet, said Loonybin.
And one holiday he invites me to come along with him to the farm. Lovely. He has some fishing tackle there and I was ever an angler. Also there's a farm lad of about our age called Xolani who prefers to be called Mr X because it suggests mysterious power and all sorts of wisdom, amongst which he knows how to catch barbel and cook them with phutu.
First morning and WE'RE OFF! to the river down the boundary of the farm. Mr X has saved the remains of his last night's dinner, horrid bits of meat with a curry aroma; curry is what barbel fancy, says he, along with mulberries fallen from those wild trees dangling over the water. He instructs us how to cast our bait gently 'neath these trees so all looks quiet and natural. He understands Nature and the sensibilities of fish. So here we are, then, on the bonny bonny banks of Mooi River; furtively we move about so the fish don't see our looming shadows, and there we furtively mould this mystical mix of barbel bait on our size 5/0 fish hooks.
Mr X demos the skill of quiet natural casting, but we're so quiet and natural that, as ol' Loonybin gets ready to do his thing, a hadeda quietly and naturally lands and takes his baited hook off the ground, gets it stuck in its beak and falls to flailing about in the reeds there. O piteous! The poor creature is all tangled up in fishing line, it can't flap its wings any more, it can only kick about with its great big feet.
Step aside! says Mr X in isiZulu, gently creeps up on the hadeda so as not to cause panic and tucks its body under his arm as he sets to cutting loose the hook from the line with the bait knife. Now he's got to pull the hook not backwards from the poor creature's beak, because of the barb at the point, see, but right through forwards. And that's only the beginning. Next he's got to disentangle the great mess of feathers, bones and fishing line that the hadeda has become. This is a sure case of trau ma. Poor creature! Loonybin exclaims, we must detraumatise it and give it a sense of well-being, and he's off to Dad's surgery for a bit of the vit B.
Disentanglement is no quick thing. As Loonybin returns from the surgery Mr X is smoothing down the feathers of the unhappy hadeda. Loonybin plunges the hypodermic into the luckless bird which instantly becomes detraumatised.
You silly bugger, says Mr X in isiZulu, you have killed it. No I haven't, says Loonybin, it's sedated. But Mr X is off to his mum's kitchen, whence he presently emerges with a bundle of chopped wattle wood and a box of matches. Bimeby we sit silently round the fire and pick our teeth with stalks of grass. And after quite a bit ol' Loonybin says I think when I'm grown up I will be an airline pilot.

Jupiter and Saturn head for closest visible alignment in 800 years
Michael Levenson, The New York Times
Posted at Dec 12 2020 05:34 PM
(L-R) The waxing crescent moon and the planets Saturn and Jupiter are shown above a windmill at Western Trails Park on November 19, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ethan Miller/Getty Images via AFP
For months, Saturn and Jupiter have appeared to be courting, as the giant celestial bodies have gradually drawn nearer in the night sky.
Over the next two weeks, as their orbits align more closely, the planets will pull closer until they appear to be just a tenth of a degree apart — about the thickness of a dime held at arm's length, according to NASA.
The encounter, known as a great conjunction, happens about every 20 years. But this one — arriving Dec. 21, the winter solstice — is special, astronomers said.
It will be the closest alignment of Saturn and Jupiter, the largest planets in our solar system, since 1623. But that conjunction, just 14 years after Galileo built his first telescope, was 13 degrees away from the sun, making it almost impossible to view from Earth, said Amy C. Oliver, a spokeswoman for the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard & Smithsonian.
Save the date: Annual Geminids meteor shower from Dec 7 to 17
This one will be the closest visible encounter between the two giants since the Middle Ages, in 1226, Oliver said. The next time the planets will be this close is 2080, she said, making the event a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle for most adults.
Across the United States, the best view of the two planets coming into near-alignment will be just after sunset, in the southwestern portion of the sky.
"It's a very elegant astronomical event to watch in the night sky," said Renu Malhotra, a professor of planetary sciences at the University of Arizona. "It's a very romantic event to see these planets approaching each other."
Although best appreciated with binoculars or a telescope, the encounter should be visible to the naked eye.
Konstantin Batygin, a professor of planetary science at the California Institute of Technology, said he had been watching Jupiter, his favorite planet, and Saturn draw closer to one another on nightly walks with his pit bull, Bagheera.
"It's the rare astronomical event where you can appreciate the motion of the planets around the sun without being some kind of astronomer," Batygin said.
"You can still go outside close to Christmas and say, 'Wow, those two planets sure are close to one another, and they aren't usually.' It's one of these rare times when the majesty of the solar system presents itself to the naked eye."
But such encounters were not always viewed so lyrically. In ancient times, people considered planetary alignments to be bad omens, portending calamity, Malhotra said.
"There was reason to fear that the gods were conspiring when they got closer in the night sky," she said. "It might have ominous meaning to people on Earth."
The conjunction is the result of the orbital paths of Jupiter and Saturn coming into line, as viewed from Earth. Jupiter orbits the sun about every 12 years, and Saturn about every 29 years.
Although they will appear to be close together — resembling a bright ball or a tipped-over snowman in the sky, Oliver said — the planets will not actually be that close. In fact, they will be more than 400 million miles apart, she said.
"Jupiter and Saturn will appear as two wandering stars that are kind of right on top of one another," Batygin said. "If you wait long enough, it's bound to happen, because their orbital paths intersect. But it doesn't happen that often."
Some people are calling the conjunction a Christmas star because of its arrival around the holiday.
Oliver said that on the days before and after Dec. 21, "as soon as it gets dark outside, everybody should go outside and take a look."
"For most adults, this is your one big opportunity to see this," she said. "Really young kids might get another chance. For the rest of us, it's now or never."

The Kaiju Score Release Date, Cast, And Plot - What We Know So Far
By Jonah Schuhart/Aug. 20, 2021 8:30 am EST
Every good heist story needs an element of chaos. If there wasn't one, then the entire heist would go exactly as planned, and that's no fun. All of the excitement, the tension in the situation, comes from the fact that something unexpected has occurred, and now the film's heroic ne'er-do-wells have to adapt to new circumstances. Unfortunately, adaptation may be impossible for the heroes of the upcoming film "The Kaiju Score." After all, it's almost impossible to account for anything that happens when a giant monster attacks the city, especially when you're midway through the biggest heist of your life.
Based on the comic series by writer James Patrick and artist Rem Broo, "The Kaiju Score" is the most recent planned film from Sony Pictures and Escape Artists (via Deadline). It sets out to adapt the first (and only) arc of the four-volume comic series released by AfterShock comics in 2020. This film was announced only recently, so information is still sparse. That being said, there's still much to discuss about "The Kaiju Score." Here is what we know so far.
When will the Kaiju Score release?
Unfortunately, it's too early in the production of "The Kaiju Score" to point towards a specific release date. Sony Pictures has had its hands on the film rights since 2020, but have only just announced the writers working on adapting the original comics into a screenplay. They are Brian and Mark Gunn, brother and cousin respectively to "Guardians of the Galaxy" director, James Gunn (via Variety).
It's unclear how far into the writing process the Gunns are with "The Kaiju Score," but it will likely be a long time before the film hits theaters regardless. Generally speaking, Hollywood films take a little over two years to complete (via Stephen Follows), and "The Kaiju Score" has only one year behind it at best. Assuming everything goes well, "The Kaiju Score" might hit theaters in late 2022 or 2023. However, just like with a heist, chaos can rear its ugly head in many between then and now. There's no guarantee that the film will be released as soon as physically possible.
Who is in the cast for the Kaiju Score?
Even more so than the release date, the cast set to star in "The Kaiju Score" is a complete mystery. Given that the screenplay isn't even complete, Sony Pictures and Escape Artists probably haven't gotten very far into the casting process. There's no script for actors to look at, and no lines to read during auditions. Of course, because the story already exists in comic form, it wouldn't be a surprise if the studios had actors in mind for certain characters. They'd most certainly be jumping the Gunn if they announced anything this early.
On the bright side, this opens up plenty of room for fans to think of actors they'd like to see in a Kaiju-centric heist film. Legendary's MonsterVerse is proof that plenty of big-name actors are down to play second fiddle to CGI monsters like Godzilla. Combine that with the heist genre's long history of star-studded casts (think the cast of "Ocean's Eleven" meets "Godzilla vs. Kong") and there's endless possibilities for the cast of "The Kaiju Score."
What is the story of The Kaiju Score?
Of all the key elements contributing to "The Kaiju Score," we know the most about the story. For obvious reasons, a lot of the film's plot is already established. Granted, few screenplays are perfect adaptations. Deviations are usually necessary, and news writers and directors usually like to leave their own creative mark. As a result, the most consistent story element shared by the two will likely be the premise, while some of the details get altered or lost in translation. With that in mind, here is what fans can expect to see when "The Kaiju Score" releases.
Described by author James Patrick as "a Quentin Tarantino film that takes place smack in the middle of a Godzilla movie," "The Kaiju Score" follows four individuals making a desperate bid to steal a veritable fortune. Their target is millions of dollars worth of art, and if getting into the room where it's stored is bad enough, then the kaiju turning the city around them to dust is just icing on the cake. This is their last shot for a life of luxury, but will they make it out alive? Viewers can expect to find out when "The Kaiju Score" releases.


The Coversation: Can Bats Help Humans Survive the Next Pandemic?
Coronaviruses can cause illness in humans, ranging from symptoms of the common cold to SARS, causing disease and even death. Bats are believed to be hosts for several of these coronaviruses – yet interestingly, do not develop any clinical signs of disease when infected. Arinjay Banerjee, currently completing his PhD in Saskatoon, is exploring immune responses in bat and human cells to different viruses to uncover more about the adaptations of the bat immune system that allow them to survive infections with these viruses. He will join Dr. Karen Mossman's lab in 2018 as a post-doctoral fellow to continue these studies, in collaboration with Dr. Paul Faure who runs the McMaster Bat Lab. Such research can help to discover avenues for identification of novel therapeutics to prevent or treat future pandemics.

Q: Как в Ruby при создании объекта класса сохранить в массив созданных объектов? Как в Ruby при создании объекта класса сохранить в массив созданных объектов?
Например:
class People
  attr_accessor :name, :age

  def initialize (name, age)
    @name = name
    @age = age
    @peoples = []
  end
  def add_new

  end
  def list
    puts @peoples
  end
end

A: Зависит от того, как вы хотите поступить при наследовании.
Вот решение, использующее переменную экземпляра класса (class instance variable), которая у каждого класса собственная, а потому и списки у наследников получатся отдельными:
class A
  def initialize
    self.class.all << self
  end

  def self.all # self.___ метод определяется у класса, а не его объектов
    @all ||= [] # вернуть имеющийся или записать туда пустой массив при первом обращении
  end
end

Обратите внимание, что внутри этих методов self разный:

*

*в self.all (A.all) это сам класс

*в initialize (A#initialize) это создаваемый объект класса, поэтому чтобы добраться до класса используется self.class
Проверяем, как работает:
A.all        # => []
A.new; A.all # => [#<A:foo>]
A.new; A.all # => [#<A:foo>, #<A:bar>]

class B < A; end # новый класс, наследующий A
B.all        # => []
B.new; B.all # => [#<B:foo>]
A.all        # => [#<A:foo>, #<A:bar>]

Однако всего одна собака может сделать из переменной экземпляра класса переменную класса, которая у наследников сохраняется, и собирает объекты не только конкретного класса, но и всех его наследников:
class C # Кроме комментариев класс ПОЧТИ идентичен классу A из примера выше
  def initialize
    self.class.all << self
  end

  def self.all
    @@all ||= [] # Но тут уже не @all
  end
end

class D < C; end

D.new; C.new; C.all # => [#<D:foo>, #<C:bar>]

Бонус, для самостоятельного изучения интересующимися, одно не очень хорошее решение:
class M
  def initialize
    self.class.all << self
  end

  @all = []
  class << self
    attr_reader :all
  end
end

class N < M; end

M.all # => []
N.all # => nil <-- вот это поворот

A: class People
  attr_reader :list
  def initialize
    @list = []
  end
  def add(person)
    @list << person
  end
end

people = People.new
people.add(1) # здесь может быть любой объект
people.list => [1]

Let's take it one step further. What if you're not wrestling temptation, but you are struggling with grief, loss, and tribulations? Will God give you more than you can handle? Will your life be smooth-sailing and without opposition? Even more important, are you able to save your own self and not need rescued?
From my past experience of enduring horrific trials, I believe that God will give us more than we can humanly manage. Of course, it is not meant to hurt us or frustrate us. Rather, the reason God gives us more than we can bear is because He wants to build our character, stretch our faith, and take our adverse circumstances to powerfully use for good in our lives.
Trust Jesus Christ or believe He is who He says He is.
Lean on the divine intervention of our heavenly Maker.
Wait in expectation for Him to work powerfully in and through our lives.
Embrace the Lord's grace, mercy, or forgiveness.
Receive the free gift of Jesus' eternal salvation to save us from our sins.
It appears that God will give us more than we can handle so that we will cling to Him who is our anchor of hope. He is steering our ship in deep waters that are raging, yet He will keep us afloat. Similar to a lighthouse, Christ shines His brilliant light even in storms tossing us to and fro. He is our Rock who will rescue us and keep us from sinking.

We have great news to share, but it comes in small increments. The first week in December our building permit was finally issued, and work began in earnest on the space. For this, we are extremely grateful. We still do not have a firm date on when construction will be complete, and we know that there is a lot that needs to happen afterwards in order for us to re-open our doors.
I wanted to give a little update on that process and ask that you lend a hand where you can. Once all construction is completed our building needs to be inspected first by the city to give us permission to move in. Once we are allowed to occupy the building, we will schedule a moving date. It will likely be a lot colder moving into our new home than it was moving out of John Knox Presbyterian Church. We hope that as many people answer our call for help on moving day this time around. Many hands make lighter work. Once everything is moved in and items are on the shelf more inspections must be scheduled. In order to operate a food pantry there are regulations to be followed and several regulating agencies must come in and certify that we are set up to follow those regulations. We have reached out to these agencies and have learned it could take as long as three weeks for them to get us on their schedule once everything is moved in. If they sign off on our new space, we will be ready to open our doors and begin serving our neighbors once again.
Aside from help with moving day we ask that you continue to pray. Pray for our neighbors who are in need. Pray for our partnering pantries, Streams of Hope, Family Network of Wyoming, and UCOM, that they have the resources to provide for the additional neighbors they see. Pray for our contractors, that work is completed safely. Pray for this process to be completed in as little time as possible so we can get back to working on our mission of feeding mind, body, and soul in our community.
In Romans chapter 12, Paul says "Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times." We ask you pray for success for our project, as we patiently await our re-opening along with the rest of you.


Although the popular Guitar Hero console game is already pretty cool, instructables member oswaldonfire has stayed true to his name by modifying his Guitar Hero game so that a set of flamethrowers is triggered with each in game button press. The result is nothing short of spectacular!
The project is entirely controlled by an Arduino Uno and a number of relays which trigger the flamethrowers. If you want to find out more about how you can build this awesome project yourself checkout the following link or the video of the setup in action!


Sarah offers an initial free consultation for coaching, hypnotherapy and NLP. Here she will discuss the things you wish to resolve, how these therapies can help you to make the changes you want to make and also if this therapy is right for you at the current time. This is by phone or Skype and takes around twenty minutes.
For physiotherapy, the initial consultation takes 45 minutes, and incurs a charge, as it involves a full assessment of the condition as well as a physical examination. Follow up treatments normally last half an hour, and may include acupuncture if appropriate.
We aim to make appointments as soon as possible following the initial contact, and can usually offer an appointment within 24 – 36 hours. A doctor's referral is not required, except by some insurance companies (physiotherapy). Physiotherapy patients are requested to contact their insurer prior to treatment, if applicable; claims for physiotherapy can be made through most medical insurance companies.
We require 24 hours' notice of cancellation, and reserve the right to charge a non-attendance fee. Please check with the receptionist for current rates.

Auto investors risk losing out without owning Tesla shares, says Morgan Stanley
The Biden administration proposes allocating $174 billion to develop the country's electric-vehicle ecosystem, which could enhance Tesla's advantage over legacy car companies and even some new entrants.
The Elon Musk-led company, which is indisputably the current global market leader in EVs, reported surprisingly strong delivery numbers for the first quarter earlier this week. (AP)
Tesla Inc. can disproportionately benefit from the U.S. infrastructure package, and investors in the auto sector risk losing out if they don't own the stock, Morgan Stanley said.
The Biden administration proposes allocating $174 billion to develop the country's electric-vehicle ecosystem, which could enhance Tesla's advantage over legacy car companies and even some new entrants, analyst Adam Jonas wrote in a note Wednesday.
However, he warned that the development may happen in a volatile fashion, bringing in some near-term uncertainties that might differ from year to year.
"It will likely be complicated by a labyrinth of national and local laws that will present advantages and disadvantages to various automakers, depending on the year that you choose to analyze," Jonas said. Yet over the long term, "auto investors face greater risk not owning Tesla shares in their portfolio than owning Tesla shares in their portfolio."
The Elon Musk-led company, which is indisputably the current global market leader in EVs, reported surprisingly strong delivery numbers for the first quarter earlier this week, even as most carmakers are struggling with a chip shortage that has forced production halts. Despite that, Tesla shares have been stuck in a rut over the past month and are down about 5% this year. The stock rose 743% last year.
The bill, which includes purchase incentives, development of charging infrastructure and grid enhancements, would be good for Tesla, which has a higher volume of EV products in the pipeline than most manufacturers, according to Jonas.
Morgan Stanley has a buy-equivalent rating on Tesla and a price target of $880. The average analysts' target on the stock is $651, with 17 buy recommendations, 13 holds and 12 sells.
Tesla shares closed down 3% at $670.97 Wednesday, their biggest drop since March 26.

That is indeed the beauty of music, it makes any occasion unforgettable and when you hear a particular song it reminds you of that special moment. I'll be waiting, time after time." I lived, I loved.

"Today is where your book begins. Always gonna be an uphill battle.
So, let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter than the sun."

rap lyrics about graduating college 2020


A common misconception about termites is that if you have a concrete structure, you won't have a termite problem. That is far from the truth because termites look for timber wherever they discover it. They are small and can find cracks even in concrete or brick and will have the ability to "dine" on wood even if it is not exposed.
Another common myth is that cockroaches and bedbugs just reside in unclean houses. They will take up residence in any home if they can discover a food source. Bed bugs only require a source of moisture or a percentage of blood and cannot be eradicated by home treatments. Even a pest control expert may need to come more than as soon as to eliminate them.
Cockroaches just require a food source, which can be food placed in a trash can and even little scraps of food. They can also remain concealed if they do not have to come out to find food. They often select dark places and stay out of sight as much as possible.
Rodents might discover food sources outdoors, but they want a warm, dry location to live. What could be a much better home to a mouse or rat than your ceiling cavity, which is warm and dry throughout the year? They are not as easy to eradicate as you may think of, either, and are prolific breeders.
One typical myth about insecticides is that they ought to be used after the sun decreases. Bugs are present all day and you can utilize insecticides to manage them. Nevertheless, control alone will not get rid of many insects. A whole nest of ants will not enter into the house. They can be found in small numbers and even if you kill the ants you see, more will come later.
Another myth about termites is that the more you use, the better the effect. The opposite might be true due to the fact that pests can develop a resistance to insecticides. You also need to know the ideal insecticide to use for different bugs and ways to apply it most effectively.
Insecticides can also be dangerous if used irresponsibly. They can even be more harmful than the majority of pests, which can be problems but pose no danger to children. Use insecticides moderately and in locations where kids will not be exposed to them. Numerous pest control experts now use environmentally friendly products that are effective but do not trigger harm to children or adults.
The same is true for bug zappers. Mosquitoes are drawn to blood sources and are very good at discovering them. They are not drawn in to blue lights and while the periodic mosquito or other flying pests might face a bug zapper, mosquitoes will still look for your blood, not a bug zapper.
Rodents can be a problem in Roanoke and you don't want them in your home, but they are not dirty animals. They actually groom themselves continuously and are quite tidy. Rats and mice even have different areas they utilize as "restrooms" and keep their sleeping spaces neat and tidy.
By the time an issue with insects shows up, it's past time to deal with the issue. The very best way to make sure pests don't take over your home is to have routine bug inspections. Remember to have your home examined for termites, either. Termites can do a good deal of damage in a brief amount of time and you may not even understand they remain in your house.
While it holds true we see mosquitoes most at dawn, dusk and after dark, they don't adhere to a schedule. Mosquitoes can come out at any time and some mosquitoes are active throughout the day. They may be more hazardous than the mosquito bites you get at night. The Zika virus and other viruses are often spread out by a mosquito that only bites during the day.
This is a widespread myth, however it's not true. It generally takes 4 to ten days for a toxin to work. When a rodent eats poison, it will go where it feels safe and that may remain in your ceiling cavity. It will die a sluggish death and probably will not scurry around, but you will know later on when it begins to smell.
If you don't feed your cat, it will naturally look for food sources and rodents are a common source of food for wild cats. There are two problems with this theory. We constantly feed cats, so they are not as anxious to chase after and eliminate rodents. They might toy with them but most likely will not kill them. The other problem is that rodents hide in places where cats can't get to them.
This is another bug control myth that has to be uncovered One treatment may not be enough to get rid of bugs. Pests in general breed and you might have more than one source of bugs. Their eggs will not respond to many treatments and after they hatch, the problem will return. You may require more than one treatment to obtain rid of a problem with many types of pests.
There are lots of common myths about pests in the house. These are just the top ten, however others exist. For instance, some people think an excellent way to get rid of ants is to pour boiling water on them. The water will kill the ants it comes in contact with, but even if you put boiling water down an ant hill, it will just kill the ants on the surface. The water will cool long before it reaches the nest.
Home solutions don't always work and often they can backfire on you. Did you buy poison to kill rodents, thinking they would go outdoors to die? That is a typical myth you will discover after the rodent dies and you smell its remains. Do you believe spraying more insecticide will be more effective? That's another misconception that can backfire on you.
Below is a a list of pests, insects and rats discovered in the local Roanoke area that we can treat or remove.

Cancer and HIV/Aids rates in Uganda
First Posted: 14-Mar-2019
HIV and AIDS are extremely serious concerns across Uganda. Recent statistics from UNAIDS said that in 2017:
Around 1.4 million people were living with HIV, particularly women and young women, were disproportionately affected
The prevalence rate for adults aged 15-49 was 5.9%
50,000 adults and children were newly affected with the HIV virus in 2017
Adult and child deaths due to AIDS was an estimated 26,000
73% of all adults were on antiretroviral treatment
68% of all children diagnosed with HIV were on antiretroviral treatment
Source: http://www.unaids.org/en/regionscountries/countries/uganda; https://www.avert.org/professionals/hiv-around-world/sub-saharan-africa/uganda
While the number of AIDS-related deaths has somewhat dropped since the advent of more effective medication over the last 18 years, there are still large numbers of people living with HIV and AIDS who still do not currently have access to the medications and treatment options they need. Many cultural and political barriers exist across the country as well – such as stigmatic attitudes and very punitive laws – meaning sex workers, men who have sex with other men, young girls, adolescent women and people who inject drugs, are all far less likely to contact HIV services for assistance and advice.
For cancer statistics, the facts can be just as devastating and humbling.
Uganda is one of the countries with the highest incidences of mostly infection-related cancers
In 2008, 31.6 million people were registered as suffering from various cancer types
The average no. of people newly diagnosed with cancer (excluding NMSC) per year is 27,100, or an estimated 300 people for every 100,000 surveyed
Age-standardised rate for cancer, incidence per 100,000 people a year, is 27,000
The risk of getting cancer before age 75 is 17.8%
People dying from cancer per year is around 21,300
The mortality rate in 2017 was 80% with only a 20% survival rate
In sub-Saharan Africa, cancer kills more people than HIV, tuberculosis and malaria combined
Sadly, less than 5% of the children diagnosed in Africa may be alive after 5 years
Source: https://www.newvision.co.ug/new_vision/news/1470467/prostate-breast-cervical-cancers-uganda; http://www.cancerindex.org/Uganda; Fred Hutchinson Research Center/Ugandan Cancer Instistute (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx-tMX9UrJU); https://www.independent.co.ug/growing-burden-cancer-uganda/
Realistically, though the cancer rates are still high, there are things people can do to aid and in various prevent cancers. The Ugandan Cancer Institute states that 30% of all cancers are curable, that 30% can be treated by palliation to help improve survival and quality of life. Also, 30% of cancers can in fact be prevented, through avoiding smoking or alcohol and embracing getting immunised against Hepatitis B, HPV and the like.
