Roppongi Hills, in the Roppongi area of Tokyo, has long been a famous scenic spot for visitors. This skyscraper not only has museums and shopping malls, but also observatory decks for visitors to view the landscape of Tokyo. It's an exciting sightseeing spot for those who love taking photographs. Don't miss this great place if you have a chance to visit Tokyo next time!
Before going up to these observatory decks, it is of essence for visitors to buy tickets at the information counter. Tickets sold there are only for Mori Art Museum and Tokyo City View whereas you have to pay additional fee for Sky Deck. The details will be introduced in the following paragraphs.
Situated at 52F, Observatory Deck is an indoor area for visitors to view the landscape of Tokyo. On the same floor, there is a café named as "The Sun & The Moon" for those who would love to enjoy having meals while glancing at the spectacular view. The views vary from daytime to the night time.
This is the view during daytime whereas the latter one is the view at night.
To me, the night view is more beautiful and I strongly recommend visitors go to Tokyo City View before sunset and wait until night so as to take better pictures.
Situated at 53F, another observation deck with a spectacular view, Mori Art Museum is absolutely a paradise for art lovers. Please be noted that multifarious exhibitions will take place during different periods of time. Remember to check the details on its homepage beforehand.
Before entering Sky Deck Rooftop Observatory deck, visitors have to buy tickets from the vending machine.
For general public and students other than high school students, ¥500 per ticket is required. For children aged 4 and high school students, tickets cost ¥300 per person.
Owing to the security reason, visitors are required to place their belongings inside the lockers beforehand.
Be well prepared for ¥100 coin(s)! When you have finished using the locker, you can take the coin(s) back! Don't worry!
After finishing placing your belongings, just take the elevator nearby and you can then head to Sky Deck Rooftop Observatory Deck!
Located at the roof floor, Sky Deck Rooftop Observatory Deck is the highest outdoor observatory in Tokyo. There, visitors can experience and enjoy a panorama of the whole city. The views vary depending on daytime and night. In my opinion, views during night is more appealing and stunning. This is definitely a place you will want to bring a camera.
Sky Deck may be closed without notice owing to bad weather, such as rain, heavy fog or strong winds. Please pay attention to the weather forecast beforehand if you wish to go to Sky Deck.
Working hours are different for weekdays and weekends. Please have a check on Tokyo City View's homepage before going there.
People tend to use their smartphones taking pictures of the views. But, according to my experience, using camera is better, especially when you take pictures at night.
Don't forget about this wonderful sightseeing spot when you come to Japan! Happy journey!

In Timis & anor v Osipov the CA has held that an individual can be liable for losses flowing from a dismissal in whistleblowing cases.
Mr Osipov made a number of protected disclosures, following which he was dismissed. He successfully brought a claim before the ET for automatic unfair dismissal. Mr Osipov also succeeded in his claims brought against, Mr Timis and Mr Sage, alleging detriment and dismissal on the ground that he made protected disclosures. The ET found his employer and co-workers jointly and severally liable for losses flowing from Mr Osipov's dismissal in the amount of £1,744,575.56. Mr Timis and Mr Sage appealed.
The appeal focused on the correct application of section 47B of the ERA 1996. Section 47B(1A) allows workers to bring claims against individual co-workers where they have been subjected to a detriment by act or deliberate omission as a result of having made a protected disclosure. Section 47B(1B) provides that an employer is vicariously liable for such actions. However, section 47B(2) stipulates that these sections do not apply where the worker is an employee and the detriment is a dismissal falling within section 103A (automatic unfair dismissal). Mr Timis and Mr Sage argued this provision prevented them from being liable, as the claim for unfair dismissal could only be brought against an employer.
The EAT held that section 47B(1A) had created "a framework for individual liability……without restriction" and the exclusion was limited only to detriments which amount to unfair dismissal claims which must necessarily be brought against the employer.
The CA agreed, holding that construing the exclusion as preventing a claim against a co-worker based on the detriment of dismissal would produce an incoherent result. The CA believed Parliament's intention was to exclude liability only where the identical remedy was available elsewhere under section 103A (automatic unfair dismissal) and therefore it would not exclude a co-worker's individual liability for the detriment of dismissal or the employer's vicarious liability.
The CA also confirmed that section 47B(2) does not prevent an employee claiming losses which result from dismissal in situations where there is a detriment distinct from dismissal, but which ultimately causes the dismissal, subject to the rules of remoteness and taking contingencies into account, for example that employment might have terminated regardless.

No visitor centres, no other people. Just Nature!
Alas no sounds of yellow-hammers singing about bread and no cheese.
Just the alarm calls of the pheasants and other ground nesting birds as I ventured too close to them on my walk.
It the distance I could hear……….. the roar of a train as it hurtled along the tracks.
In seconds it was gone.
I returned to my starting point, collecting only memories and photos.

MSNBC's Joy Reid apologizes again for old blog posts
Associated Press / 04:32 PM June 03, 2018
Image: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File
NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC's Joy Reid is apologizing again for past blog posts, including one that had an image of Sen. John McCain superimposed on the body of a campus killer and another where she urged people to watch a conspiracy film tied to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Reid said Friday there are things for which she is embarrassed and regretful about a blog she began writing in 2005. News organizations have been combing through some of those deleted blog posts to examine her writings.
Buzzfeed uncovered a doctored image of McCain's head atop the gun-toting body of the Virginia Tech campus shooter, in a post from 2007. In a separate post a year earlier, she urged people to see a film partly funded by Alex Jones of "Infowars" that falsely alleged the U.S. government planned the 2001 attacks.
"I've … spoken openly about my evolution on many issues and know that I'm a better person today than I was over a decade ago," Reid said.
Reid apologized earlier this spring for anti-gay language found in some other old writings, and suggested she'd been a victim of a hacker that inserted offensive language. But after hiring a computer expert, she later acknowledged that she could not prove that a hacker had any hand in what happened.
Her employer has not publicly addressed whether Reid faced any disciplinary action. But in a statement on Friday, MSNBC said some of the things Reid had written in the past "are obviously hateful and hurtful.
"They are not reflective of the colleague and friend we have known at MSNBC for the past seven years," the network said. "Joy has apologized publicly and privately and said she has grown and evolved in the many years since, and we know this to be true."

Reid, who hosts weekend shows on the news network, said she has reached out to McCain's daughter Meghan about the blog post.
"I have the highest respect for Sen. McCain as a public servant and patriot and wish him and his family the best," she said.
She also said there is no question in her mind that al-Qaida was behind the 2001 attacks. NVG

Buffy Vampire Slayer Movie Characters
List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters. This article lists the major and recurring fictional characters created by Joss Whedon for the television series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 15 years on. The same roster of TV bit-parts and largely inconsequential movies came to Dushku post-Buffy. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) full cast and crew. Enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing Buffy the Vampire Slayer near you. What happen to the cast of Buffy The Vampire Slayer when Joss Whedon's smash hit TV. Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
For detailed descriptions, see individual character pages. Main characters. The Slayer has no jurisdiction over human crime. This calling mystically endows her with a limited degree of clairvoyance, usually in the form of prophetic dreams, as well as dramatically increased physical strength, endurance, agility, intuition, and speed and ease of healing. There traditionally has been only one Slayer alive at any given moment, with a new one called upon the event of her death.
Xander is a close friend of Buffy. Possessing no supernatural skills, Xander provides comic relief as well as a grounded, everyman perspective in the supernatural Buffyverse. In another departure from the usual conventions of television, Xander is notable for being an insecure and subordinate male in a world dominated by powerful females. Willow was originally a nerdy girl who contrasted Buffy's cheerleader personality but also shared the social isolation Buffy suffered after becoming a Slayer.
As the series progressed, Willow became a more assertive and even sensual character; in particular, she realized that she was a lesbian and became a powerful Wiccan. Willow is Buffy's best friend through everything that happens and maintains her humanity and kindness to others throughout.
Giles, rarely referred to by his first name, is a Watcher and a member of the Watchers' Council, whose job is to train Slayers. In the earlier seasons, Giles researched the supernatural creatures that Buffy must face, offered insights into their origins and advice on how to kill them. Throughout the series, he became a father- figure to Buffy, Willow, Xander, and the others, giving them advice not only on the supernatural world, but on life issues as well. She is tactless, but direct and honest, and she becomes a reluctant ally of the Scooby Gang, even after her relationship with Xander disintegrates. After season 3, she joins Angel in L.
A., where she abandons her attempts at acting to fight evil at his side. Angel, a vampire, formerly known as Angelus, was a cruel killer until he was re- ensouled by a Romani curse. After decades of guilt over his past atrocities, he allies himself with Buffy and they fall in love. The consummation of their relationship brings him a moment of true happiness, breaking the curse and releasing Angelus upon Sunnydale. Buffy is forced to send him to a hell dimension to save the world. After his release from hell, Buffy and Angel continue to struggle with their ongoing love. Angel breaks off their relationship and moves to L.

A. There, he gathers new allies in his own fight against evil in the five- season spin- off, Angel. Oz is a brilliant (yet generally unmotivated) student, and part- time rock guitarist. He is Willow's first and only boyfriend, and an active member of Buffy's inner circle, despite the fact that he has recently become a werewolf. Portrayed as taciturn and unflappable, the contrast between his outward coolness and his violent animal episodes is an example of the show's efforts to subvert usual character expectations, as well as to display double- personalities (like Angel/Angelus).
As an unusual side- note, the actor Seth Green went on to co- design and supervise the creation of the acclaimed line of Buffy the Vampire Slayeraction figures. Spike is a vampire character whose role varies dramatically through the course of the series, ranging from a major villain to . His path to redemption subsequently resumes in L. A. Spike is known for his Billy Idol platinum hair(Angel mentions in one episode that Spike doesn't style his hair like Idol's, but the other way around), his catch- phrase . After being forcibly stripped of her demonic powers by Giles, the character is forced to re- learn how to be an ordinary human, a journey which is portrayed as both comical (e.
Her story is largely focused on her romantic relationship with Xander, and like many characters on the show, she is portrayed as morally ambivalent. Riley is Buffy's first serious boyfriend after Angel. He is initially an operative in a military organization called . Riley is Angel's opposite, an Iowa- born- and- raised man whose strength lies in his military secret identity. Buffy's superior physical strength causes him insecurity, particularly after his medically enhanced powers were removed. This, combined with Buffy's inability to truly emotionally connect with him, eventually causes him to leave in the middle of Season 5. Dawn is introduced in Season 5 as Buffy's fourteen- year- old younger sister, sent to Buffy in human form as a disguise for the Key, a dangerous magical artifact sought by a hellgod.
Although Dawn's genesis is magical, she functions as a complete and normal teenage girl, and, after her true nature has been revealed, she is accepted and loved as a sister, daughter, and friend. Although Buffy initially tries to shelter Dawn from her work as Slayer, Dawn later becomes a useful member of the Scooby Gang. Tara is introduced first as a fellow member of a Wicca group during Willow's first year of college. Their close friendship evolves into an ongoing romantic relationship; their relationship attracted significant attention as one of few featured same- sex relationships on television at that time. Tara uses her magical skills to assist the Scooby Gang in their fight against evil, and she struggles with how to deal with Willow's growing addiction to magic. Tara is killed by a bullet intended for Buffy, her death triggering Willow's transformation into .
The Master was trapped in a church which collapsed in an earthquake and he became trapped in the Hellmouth when he tried to open it. Prophecy foretells that he will kill Buffy; he bites her and she drowns, but is revived by Xander. She kills him, and he turns to dust, leaving only his bones. When she is faced with the threat of his resurrection, Buffy later smashes them with a sledgehammer.
The Master appears again in the season 3 episode . He is resurrected in season 8 by the Seed of Wonder to protect it. Drusilla (Juliet Landau): Drusilla is a beautiful young seer who was driven insane by Angelus, her sire and later her lover. Her insanity continued after she became a vampire, and she wreaked havoc on Europe and Asia for years. After a debilitating beating from an angry mob in Prague, Drusilla is healed in a ritual that nearly sacrifices Angel; when he reverts to Angelus, she embraces his plot to destroy the world. Drusilla is the long- time paramour and sire of Spike, although she becomes disillusioned with him after their year in Sunnydale (Season 2).
She has clairvoyance and hypnotic powers in addition to her vampire abilities. She frequently speaks in riddles (relating what the pixies in her head tell her) and watches the stars through the ceiling. She reappears in various guises throughout the series. She is still at large. Angelus (David Boreanaz): Angelus is possibly the most infamously cruel vampire in history. He is the soul- less alter ego of Angel, Buffy's friend and lover. After years of terrorizing Europe and Asia, he is cursed by Romanian Gypsies.
They restore his soul, but the curse ensures that the threat of Angelus remains; a moment of perfect happiness costs Angel his soul, and Angelus re- emerges to terrorize Sunnydale (season 2). Angelus kills Jenny Calendar, terrorizes the Scooby Gang, and plots with Drusilla to destroy the world by opening a mystical vortex.
Buffy and Spike ally against Angelus while Willow works to re- ensoul him with a translation of the original gypsy curse. Angelus opens the vortex before Angel's soul is restored, and Buffy is forced to drive a sword through his chest, sending him to a hell dimension before he can even remember Angelus' siege against Sunnydale.
Angelus continues to be an intermittent threat to Angel's new allies in L. A. He sold his soul in the 1. Buffy and the Scoobies face the threat of his impending Ascension in Season 3. Professor Maggie Walsh (Lindsay Crouse): Walsh is Buffy's psychology professor and the leader of The Initiative. She deceives Riley and tries to kill Buffy when Buffy asks too many questions about her secret project.
She is stabbed and killed by her own creation, Adam, and her body is later re- animated. Adam (George Hertzberg): Adam is a part- cyborg, part- demon, part- human creation of The Initiative (under Maggie Walsh).
He has no conscience, and he is violently curious in how things work, killing in order to study his victims' bodies. He is nearly unstoppable, and he plans to create a supreme race of Human/Demon/Android hybrids. Buffy eventually defeats him by ripping out the uranium core that powers him. Glory (Clare Kramer): Glory, also known as .
She is forced to occupy the body of a human named Ben, which reduces her powers. She regularly becomes disoriented and unstable and must drain the minds of humans in order to maintain her cognitive processes, leaving her human victims insane. She seeks the Key to return to her home dimension, not caring that her actions threaten to destroy the fabric of reality separating all dimensions. Warren Mears (Adam Busch): The leader of . He first appears to be a fairly normal nerd, but becomes a violent, power- driven timebomb who tries to gain respect by instilling fear in others. He commits evil deeds such as killing his girlfriend Katrina after his unsuccessful rape attempt.
He also shoots Buffy and (accidentally) kills Tara in Buffy's own backyard. Warren is tortured, skinned alive and killed by Dark Willow (. He later appears in Season 8, resurrected by Amy Madison (though still skinless), and seeks revenge on Buffy and Willow. Caleb (Nathan Fillion): An arrogant, misogynistic preacher who served as a vessel and agent of the First Evil.
He is emasculated and sliced in two by Buffy in the series' finale .

What causes all that algae?
The substances that turn our lakes and rivers green each summer come from our lawns and yards. We think of leaves as waste, but to a lake they are food. The algae in lakes love leaves and fertilizers, and when we feed lakes too many chemicals and leaves, algal blooms turn our lakes and rivers green and smelly. Protecting water is everyone's job What can you do? Simple–remember the land/water connection! What we do to the land we do to the water. Reduce chemicals, clean your streets when the leaves fall from the trees, and when you mow the grass clean your streets and sidewalks. Keep our lakes and rivers clean.

Cost Recovery Program
The CNSC's Cost Recovery Program provides an equitable approach to funding CNSC activities by charging licensees all costs associated with regulatory oversight of the nuclear industry. Each year, the CNSC conducts a detailed analysis of its costs across all licence categories and use types. This analysis provides the basis for adjusting both the hourly rate and fee formulas.
Hourly rate effective April 1, 2021
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission Cost Recovery Fees Regulations (Regulations) provide a mechanism for the CNSC to set the hourly rate in order to recover full costs. The hourly rate effective April 1, 2021 remains at $270/hour.
Formula fees effective April 1, 2021
In addition to the hourly rate, the Regulations set the formulas used to determine both the annual and one-time initial application assessment fees related to licences for nuclear substances and radiation devices, along with licences for Class II nuclear facilities and prescribed equipment.
The formulas set both base and variable hours that are used to determine fees for the various licence categories and use types. For 2021–22, most formulas will remain the same as those applied in 2020–21 with the exception of dosimetry services, for which an administrative correction was needed. The change to that formula will result in a slight increase in the number of hours to which the annual fee applies. Therefore, your fees will not increase from 2020–21 unless you hold a dosimetry licence or there was a change in the number of locations or devices.
Read the FAQs on the base and variable hour adjustment
For more information, contact us at receivables-recevables@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca, or at 1-888-229-2672
Fixed fees effective April 1, 2021
In June 2017, the Service Fees Act (SFA) received royal assent and became the cornerstone of a new framework governing how departments manage fees. The Act contains new requirements that will lead to improved service delivery to Canadians, improved accountability and better fiscal management. The main requirements of the SFA for fees subject to the Act are to:
establish service standards for all fixed fees
increase the fixed fees annually by a predetermined amount based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
automatically remit, per the remission policy, a portion of the fee to fee payers where service standards have not been met
This change will take effect on April 1, 2021, and the future adjustments will take place on April 1 of each year. Learn more about the SFA and how it affects the CNSC.

Licensing fees for low energy particle accelerator
The CNSC has a new policy concerning the regulation of low energy particle accelerators. Accelerators operating at a beam energy of 1 (one) megaelectron-volt (MeV) or greater will now fall under CNSC regulatory authority. Facilities where these accelerators are used must meet the requirements of the NSCA and applicable regulations, and must now operate under an appropriate Class II nuclear facility licence.

Stevie Nicks Says Her Debut Solo LP Kept Fleetwood Mac 'Together'
Ryan Reed Published: July 30, 2021
Dimitrios Kambouris, Getty Images
Stevie Nicks marked the recent 40th anniversary of her debut solo LP, Bella Donna, by sharing an intimate excerpt from her journal on Instagram. "It did not break up Fleetwood Mac," she said of the record. "If anything, it kept us together."
The singer-songwriter opened the note by detailing her sonic vision for the project. "Bella Donna was a dream," she wrote. "I chose [backing vocalists] Lori Perry-Nicks and Sharon Celani as my army to go on that journey with me. I wanted us to sound like the girl version of Crosby, Stills & Nash. I did not want the record to sound anything like Fleetwood Mac — that would have defeated the dream."
Nicks also opened up about the title track, which was inspired by her "boyfriend's mother, who was involved with a man in Chile during the coup that happened there in 1973." She continued, "The man she loved was banished to France. Banished or imprisoned, that was the choice. The love story never really ended — but she never saw him again. I was so touched by this story of lost love that I wrote 'Bella Donna' — the moment the poem and then the song was finished, I knew I had the basis for my first solo record."
The album, she wrote, "defined" her feelings on love: "It broke my heart and gave me the strength to fight for it. It was a fine line to walk between love and hate and passion — and the girls and I loved it. We never looked back. It came in at [No. 3] and went to [No. 1]. The world smiled — I cried. I could not have been more proud of those songs."
And the music, she wrote, also became pivotal for women in rock music. "As all never-ending dreams always do, it opened the doors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. [It] took my hand and invited me in for my own work — for the women of the world. The thing I am most proud of."
Nicks was recently announced as a headliner for Atlanta's Shaky Knees music festival, which runs Oct. 22-24. Alice Cooper and Wolfgang Van Halen's band, Mammoth WVH, will also perform at the event.

bacteria biotechnology environment lab synthetic biology
BBa_K221000: First volume of teenage gene poems Yashas Shetty,Mukund Thattai (ArtScienceBangalore)	 2011	 dna, genes, biotechnology, bacteria, genetics, narrtive, synthetic biology, diy, lab, genetic engineering, artwork, rain
BBa_K221000 is a sequence of DNA that produces an enzyme called geosmin, which is responsible for the smell of wet earth when it begins to rain. When BBa_k221000 is transformed (injected) into the DNA of E. coli bacteria, it transforms the bacteria into "living machines" that produce the smell of rain. The mystique surrounding the aroma of the Indian monsoon is encoded as a genetic sequence. This is an artistic investigation into the narrative and promises of synthetic biology. The installation comprises a mobile DIY bio lab housed in a geodesic dome. The lab is equipped with all the facilities needed to perform rudimentary genetic engineering and is built entirely out of hacked, local, homemade consumer electronics. The bacteria / "living machines" are grown inside the lab in a custom-made incubator inviting the audience to engage, up-close in critical debates around such forms of biotechnologies. The lab also functions as a pedagogical space and artist studio, as it hosts artists' workshops and performances and also facilitates the conceptual development of artworks that are produced by borrowing tools and methodologies from the life sciences. This mobile bio lab is collapsible and can be re-assembled in a day. The entire process of building the lab is documented and made available at http://artscienceblr.org or http://hackteria.org/wiki
Pigeon d'Or Tuur Van Balen 2011	 metabolism, city, urban, pigeons, biotechnology, environment, synthetic biology, bacteria, aestethics, design biology
The city is a vast and incredibly complex metabolism in which the human species is the tiniest of fractions; tiny and yet intrinsically linked into an organic embroidery beyond our understanding. It is within this complex fabric that (future) biotechnologies will end up. Pigeon d'Or proposes the use of feral pigeons as a platform and interface for synthetic biology in an urban environment by attempting to make a pigeon defecate soap. By modifying the metabolism of pigeons, synthetic biology allows us to add new functionality to what are commonly seen as "flying rats." A special bacteria has been designed and created that, when fed to pigeons, turns feces into detergent and is as harmless to pigeons as yoghurt is to humans. Through the pursuit of manipulating pigeon excrement and designing appropriate architectural interfaces, the project explores the ethical, political, practical and aesthetic consequences of designing biology.

In Synthetic Biology, the Biobrick has been used as an abstraction or template for creating standardized functional living parts. Searching for UGEM is an alternate re-appropriations of the BioBrick by using existing BioBrick primers as random-PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction) primers in investigating soil samples. This random PCR will provide a succinct signature of the biological diversity present in these samples. These investigations of soil lead us to ask questions about citizen's science "performed" by non-institutional actors using accessible tools as well as gives us a glimpse into the "post-natural world" where BioBricks may end up in our environment and may very well show up as bands in a gel. By imagining a world in which the Biobrick has become the accepted standard for synthetic biology, and where these engineered products are ubiquitous in our lives and environments, the samples we archive will serve as the baseline from which the subsequent extent of human influence can be measured. These investigations are carried out in a custom built public research laboratory, the blueprints for making one are available online. These Autonomous Public Laboratories can be used as template for creating a citizen's research lab with which one can carry out "experiments"-biotechnological or otherwise.

The Euclidean shortest path problem is a problem in computational geometry: given a set of polyhedral obstacles in a Euclidean space, and two points, find the shortest path between the points that does not intersect any of the obstacles.

Two dimensions
In two dimensions, the problem can be solved in polynomial time in a model of computation allowing addition and comparisons of real numbers, despite theoretical difficulties involving the numerical precision needed to perform such calculations. These algorithms are based on two different principles, either performing a shortest path algorithm such as Dijkstra's algorithm on a visibility graph derived from the obstacles or (in an approach called the continuous Dijkstra method) propagating a wavefront from one of the points until it meets the other.

Higher dimensions
In three (and higher) dimensions the problem is NP-hard in the general case, but there exist efficient approximation algorithms that run in polynomial time based on the idea of finding a suitable sample of points on the obstacle edges and performing a visibility graph calculation using these sample points.

There are many results on computing shortest paths which stays on a polyhedral surface. Given two points s and t, say on the surface
of a convex polyhedron, the problem is to compute a shortest path that never leaves the surface and connects s with t.
This is a generalization of the problem from 2-dimension but it is much easier than the 3-dimensional problem.

Variants
There are variations of this problem, where the obstacles are weighted, i.e., one can go through an obstacle, but it incurs
an extra cost to go through an obstacle. The standard problem is the special case where the obstacles have infinite weight.  This is
termed as the weighted region problem in the literature.

Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Peters Township, was established in 1955 and consecrated on May 16, 1957, by Bishop Dearden. This cemetery serves Catholic families in the South Hills of Pittsburgh and in portions of Washington County. Encompassing 195 acres, Queen of Heaven is the largest cemetery developed exclusively by The Catholic Cemeteries Association.
The cemetery has the distinction of having three beautiful chapel mausoleums. Queen of Heaven Chapel Mausoleum was dedicated on June 28, 1981, by Bishop Vincent M. Leonard. Notre Dame Chapel Mausoleum was dedicated on October 26, 1997, by Bishop Donald Wuerl, and finally, Mary, Mother of the Church Chapel Mausoleum was dedicated November 2, 2008 by Bishop David A. Zubik.
There have been 27,714 interments and entombments in Queen of Heaven Cemetery as of 2008.


Air travel can be a hassle for adults traveling alone, so it's no wonder parents get stressed when you add a few kids to the mix. Here are tried-and-tested tips to make flying with kids as easy and stress-free as a walk in the park.
And while you're at it, check out Vacation Countdown: 15 Smart Things to Do Before Leaving Home.
Researching flights can be a time-consuming endeavor. Many travelers worry about the best time to book flights, afraid that the fare will drop after they commit. But it's important not to wait too long, as studies show that airfares start climbing fast around six weeks before the trip. The ideal booking window is generally between one and four weeks before your departure date for domestic trips, and considerably longer for international trips.
There are some advantages to booking directly with the airline instead of through third-party booking sites. If your flight's airfare falls after you book your flight, you may be able to recoup a refund for the price difference.
Airfarewatchdog has put together a handy chart for airline fare drop policies. In general, if the fare drops for the same price category on the exact same flight, some (but not all) airlines will refund the price difference, minus a rebooking fee. Sounds good, but unfortunately, in most cases, the high rebooking fee, typically $75-$200, will wipe out any potential savings.
On the bright side, three domestic airlines do not charge a rebooking fee when there's a fare drop. Among those, Southwest Airlines has a particularly straightforward process that gives you a cash refund instead of a voucher for future travel. If you're worried your fare dropping after you book, it's worth factoring this into your airline choice.
If you don't want to worry about tracking your airfare, a website called Yapta.com will do it for you and will alert you if you're entitled to a refund.
Crowd-free airports are blissful airports. Booking a morning take-off means a quieter airport, and it greatly lowers the risk of getting stuck in a congested nightmare. As the day goes on, there can be a domino effect as one delayed flight bumps back into the next, which is why afternoon and evening flights are statistically more fraught with delays. An exception to the rule: If you're looking down the barrel of a long transcontinental or intercontinental flight, consider jumping on a red-eye so your kids can sleep onboard.
Up to 24 hours before your flight's departure time, you can visit your airline's website and check in online or, alternatively, download the airline's app to check in. Either way, this lets you avoid the long check-in line at the airport and choose your seats on the plane. You can either send your boarding passes to your smartphone (which can be scanned at security and at the departure gate), print them out at home, or print them out at a check-in kiosk at the airport.
On most major airlines, each traveler with his or her own seat is allowed one free carry-on bag plus one personal bag (such as a purse, briefcase or small backpack). In theory, that means a family of four would be allowed to bring four carry-ons plus four personal bags.
Exceptions: Note that several airlines—including Allegiant, Frontier, and Spirit—now charge passengers for each carry-on bag. Always do the math to determine if it's cheaper to travel with another carrier with a higher airfare but no baggage fees.
Strollers: Note that all the major airlines allow you to check collapsible strollers (less than 20 pounds) and FAA-certified children's car seats without additional fees.
Need to know: Overhead bins in aircraft are getting smaller and smaller. It's become increasingly common for airlines to ask passengers to gate-check carry-on bags, even if they meet size restrictions. To be safe, pack everything you might need for the duration of your flight in your personal bag.
Going on vacation with a baby or toddler? Because most major airlines charge you for every checked bag (Southwest is the sole exception), it can be cheaper to ship boxes of diapers, wipes, and baby toiletries to yourself at the destination, or simply buy when you get there. Always compare costs.
Most car rental agencies can provide a car seat (usually about $10 a day; always call ahead to confirm) and family-friendly hotels can provide a crib for free or a small fee.
You might also consider renting baby essentials, such as a stroller, crib or high chair, from a specialty outfitter in your destination. Baby's Away has rental locations in 29 states.
At the screening checkpoint, remove liquids, gels, and aerosols from your luggage and send them through the detector in a separate tray.
Three ounces is the maximum size for any liquid, aerosol or gel.
One-quart clear zip-top bag has to hold all your liquids, aerosols and gels.
Note that the Travel Security Administration allows you to bring more than three ounces of breast milk, baby formula or liquified baby food in your carry-on bag as long as you declare it for inspection at the security checkpoint. Breast milk and baby formula are categorized with liquid medications and you will not be required to taste it in front of a TSA agent.
Children 12 and under no longer have to remove their shoes when passing through the security checkpoint. But little kids still have to hand over their backpacks and stuffed animals for screening, which can cause worry. Explain beforehand that the TSA agents will take a picture of their belongings and then give everything back a few moments later.
Before you get to the checkpoint, explain to your kids that TSA agents must randomly select some people for additional screening. Mom, Dad, or even Junior might get asked to step aside for an additional quick screening. Be prepared for that possibility and decide in advance that you'll roll with it and get on with your day.
Many airports now provide a special family lane at the security checkpoint. Use it if offered. These lanes often have additional staff to help families make their way through the process more quickly. Be organized so that your family can pass through security without incident. Use large, gallon-size Ziploc bags to keep kids' small toys like Legos and Matchbox cars corraled, and also for personal items like car keys and the inevitable gadgets such as smartphones, iPods, and so on. This makes it easy to gather up belongings at the end of the screening process.
Most major airlines offer some form of pre-boarding for families with young children, but there's a downside. Confining a baby to a small space up to 45 minutes before take-off was not going to make your life easier anyway. Try this, instead: Have one parent board with older kids to get your belongings into an overhead bin and install the baby's car seat or CARES harness. The other parent should play with the baby in the departure lounge until the last possible minute. Then just board and buckle in.
Airlines take seatbelts extremely seriously and have been known to kick families off of planes when kids refuse to be buckled in.
Stressed out at the thought of having to install your child's car seat into the airline seat? Consider purchasing or renting the CARES harness, which is light, easy to pack, and takes 15 seconds to install. This shoulder harness loops through the airline lap belt and keeps your child safe and unable to kick the seat in front of her. It is FAA approved for all phases of air travel, including take-off and landing, for babies weighing 22-44 pounds.
for preschoolers and young school-age kids: printable travel games, preloaded apps on your phone or tablet, several surprise activities or toys; crayons and coloring book or doodle pad. Keep kids busy with must-have travel toys and games and classic car games, which are also great for long airport layovers and other downtimes during travel.
to facilitate ear popping on ascents and descents: for kids ages 3 and up, lollipops or gum; for babies, a sippy cup or bottle. Many families swear by EarPlanes ear plugs to help with ear pain.
Navigating an airport layover with kids in tow can be a certain kind of torture, but knowing the lay of the land can be a game changer. The indispensable GateGuru app provides detailed airport maps, helpful navigation tips, and lists of restaurants and amenities tailored to arrival and departure terminals. You can quickly find out the location of the nearest bathroom or children's play zone and also if there's a Starbuck's or Jamba Juice along your gate-to-gate path. Meanwhile, the JourneyCard feature keeps you posted in real-time on updates to security wait times, flight delays, gate changes or layover time adjustments.
If you have a very long layover, consider buying your way into a cushy lounge where space is ample, chairs are comfy, free wifi is available, and food and drinks are free. For as little as $27, Priority Pass will let you and your family (typically up to 5 guests) gain entry to hundreds of airport clubs around the world. Most lounges allow children under 12 when accompanied by an adult, and there's often no charge for tots 2 and under, but policies vary so double check before booking.
Before leaving home, put your airline's customer service number in your contact list. Should your flight be cancelled, dial this number while everyone else waits in line at the airport help desk. Odds are that you get sorted out before they do.
At your home airport, take a picture of your parking spot in the longterm parking garage so that you can find it easily when you return.
In the airport, snap a photo of your baggage before you check it. If the airline loses your bags, you can share the image to help locate them faster.
At your arrival airport, snap a picture of airport signage listing local taxi companies and their phone numbers.
If your family's flight gets significantly delayed or canceled, it can be difficult to find out what services or compensation you may be entitled to.
One problem is that every airline sets its own policies, and they do not make it easy to find their customer service commitments and contracts of carriage online. Another problem is that airline staff don't always know the details of their own company's policies.
Thankfully, it just got a whole lot easier to get straight answers, thanks to a new guide that clearly spells out the customer service policies for domestic carriers in plain English. Allelujah!
The FAA recommends that a child weighing less than 20 pounds use a rear-facing child restraint system and that a child weighing 20 to 40 pounds use a forward-facing child safety seat.


Last year, several advisories competed in a poster making on International Women's Day. This year, advisories will compete in a sticker making contest.
"[International Women's Day is a] day is to consider the position, the situation, [and] the rights of women around the world," Upper School English Teacher and advisor of HerSpace Dr. Emily Anderson summed up about the importance of the upcoming International Women's Day on March 8th.
HerSpace co-president Junior Numi Katz believes International Women's Day is a day to celebrate all women and bring to light those whose voices have been silenced.
"Intersectionality is really important, because last year when we did the poster making [contest] it felt really one-sided to me…. Celebrating feminism is important, but you're not celebrating women unless you're celebrating all women. [I think that] bringing in voices that aren't necessarily heard, especially right now, is really important, so we want to celebrate those voices," Katz said.
In honor of the day, HerSpace will be hosting and arranging several events throughout the week with help from the Women in History class. On Tuesday, HerSpace will be showing a Ted Talk about feminism during x-period in the lecture room, which will be followed with a discussion.
"We're going to watch 'We Should All be Feminists," [by Chimamanda Adichie], and I think what [she] does a really good job of stressing, is both intersectionality and that feminism isn't a women's issue, it's everybody's issue," Katz said.
In past years HerSpace has led an advisory poster making contest about women's issues, but this year, HerSpace wanted to try something different that everyone can benefit from.
Based on past attendance to the poster making contest, HerSpace has high hopes for the turnout this year.
"I think we'll get a lot of people involved. Obviously we want to promote International Women's day, but we also want to work on broadening our base of people, the people who come to HerSpace, and just getting involved in the activities we do," Katz said.
The final activity planned will be a HerSpace meeting on Friday that will be open to everyone in the community, not just female identifying students.
"[The meeting] will hopefully be a positive thing to have the male voice in [it]," Katz said.
Throughout the week, Anderson hopes that many people in the community take the time to reflect on the importance and meaning of the day.
"Like any community, I think we can sometimes be very insular… We only see the issue, the lifestyles, the problems that affect ourselves personally. So, I think International Women's Day is a day to break from looking inward and [instead], look outward," Anderson said.

[THE INVESTOR] LG Innotek, the electronic components making unit of South Korean conglomerate LG Group, said Monday it had become the first in the world to develop an ultraviolet-C light-emitting diode with an output of 100 milliwatts, two years ahead of industry forecasts.
UV-C LED, also known as deep-UV LED, emits short rays between 200 and 280 nanometers to destroy bacterial DNA and create chemical reactions.
The 100-milliwatt UV-C LED from LG Innotek. LG Innotek.
It is recognized for its sterilizing function, but producers had struggled to increase its output without it overheating.
With LG Innotek's new chips, deep-UV LED can be used to sterilize fast-moving water and air without the use of chemical disinfectants. The use of deep-UV LED has mostly been restricted to portable sterilizers or small household appliances.

Struggling with self-isolation? You aren't alone
By: Chris Conte
As a mother of three, high school math teacher Mary Rose Steele is used to being around children. But stay-at-home orders have brought new meaning to her definition of family time.
"I'm a teacher, but it's hard to get my kids to do homework," Steele said, as she planted some small tomato plants in her vegetable garden.
Like many Americans, Steele is having to find new ways to decompress throughout the day. Today, it was gardening. Two months of quarantine have brought with them both moments of joy and some tougher days.
"This morning, I just took a break. I walked out of the kitchen and took a shower," she said. "Even if it's 20 minutes, sometimes you just need a moment to yourself."
For this family who lives in the suburbs of Boston, self-quarantine has meant only seeing their grandparents via Facetime, and occasionally, Steele says her youngest daughter, Sophie, can struggle with the unknown.
"She told us last night, she said, 'You can't die. I still have things you need to read to me, and I need you guys when I graduate college.' She is really, really scared for the virus," Steele said.
Dealing with isolation has meant something different for nearly every American.
"We're suddenly spending a lot more time together than we use to," said Craig Smith, a psychology professor at Vanderbilt University.
While extroverts are struggling particularly hard with self-isolation, Smith says even self-described introverts are having difficulty adjusting to social and physical distancing.
"My son is introverted, and he tells me the biggest problem he's having is that we never go away. He was used to having period of time where he'd just be alone in the house," Smith said.
That isolation is a feeling people like Andrew Connor are experiencing in a much different way.
As a 32-year-old director of marketing in Seattle, Connor lives by himself. He's tried to limit his interactions with other people as much as possible. For Connor, who always pushes life to the edge by sky diving or traveling, being stuck at home brought an unforeseen set of internal struggles.
"It's like the ultimate mental test," he described, sitting inside his one-bedroom apartment. "You're forced to slow down and forced to think about things. It either makes you or breaks you."
Finding normalcy during the pandemic has meant finding new routines. Connor's kitchen also serves as his office, which most afternoons becomes his gym. Keeping a journal, he says, has helped keep him focused and distracted him from some of the isolation he feels from time to time.
"You have to force yourself to focus on what's going well in your life," he said in an interview via Zoom.
As for Professor Smith, he says no matter what kind of quarantine you're dealing with, it's always important to reach out.
"Talk to people, and when you talk to people about your struggles, one of the things you'll learn is that other people are often having the same struggle," he said.
Buffalo Strong: Health and Wellness


In 2011, I gained altitude in a wingsuit. I was flying the original TonySuit X-Bird, my favorite suit back then. Video showed it, GPS proved it. The gain was minimal, 50-60 feet, but it was a gain.
At the time, many people didn't believe it was possible. Wingsuit factory team pilots, wingsuit instructors, and self-proclaimed ws experts of all descriptions flatly stated that it was not possible to go up in a wingsuit. Video, GPS tracks, any evidence was faked, they said.
Since then, we've seen more and more of it. Jhonny Florez posted video and photos showing him gain quite a bit, and he even did a slider-down wingsuit BASE deployment at the top of one flare which was pretty cool. Six or seven years is an eternity in wingsuit development.
We've been talking about this concept for a long time - the idea of filming wingsuits going up. Buzzing a marker of some kind, booting it as hard as we could, and capturing it all on camera. Before Squirrel existed, fun ideas were mostly fantasies. We would talk about how fun it would be to [fill in the blank]. If only we had [cash money] to do [whatever], that would be so awesome. Now, we could buy ourselves fancy cars, but it's more fun turning these ideas into reality. It's the best part of our job.

Unless you've been vacationing on Mars or living the life of a hermit, you're probably aware that high-tech is in. Homes and gadgets are now interconnected, not to mention refrigerators allowing you to surf the Internet while deciding on what to cook for dinner. And let's not forget cars with the IQ of a genius rolling out of the factory.
While all this technology is great for making our daily lives a lot easier and safer (at least that's the goal), there is a downside: It becomes more tedious to repair such high-tech circuitry once it breaks down. Gone are the days when you could bring your jalopy to your friendly talyer for some TLC. Even a simple tune-up requires a laptop and some rocket science.
Don't fret, though, as all is not lost. In fact, all these computers and electronics could just spell a bright future for the next generation. This is what General Motors thinks as it foresees the jobs that might be up for grabs somewhere down the line. Wonder what they are?
1. Web designers and developers - If you think that these jobs already exist, well, the good news is that they're here to stay. With cars increasingly becoming connected to an electronic network, this means that more web apps and vehicle-friendly online interfaces will be in demand.
2. Customer care experts - If you're a call center agent, you might be happy to know that your future is secure. Thanks to more cars being equipped with Emergency Call Devices (eCall devices), not to mention concierge and other similar help systems, having someone to assist motorists who just need to figure out how to connect their iPhone, will definitely be part of the auto industry.
3. Interaction designers - Just like graphic designers, these guys and gals can help make all the computer and gadget interfaces simpler and cooler-looking at the same time.
4. Analytics experts - Road maps, traffic reports, vehicle breakdowns--these are just some of the data that come out of all the gadgets and GPS devices we use. But how can gathering all the data help in improving traffic, road safety, and vehicle performance? This is where these guys come into play. They can help analyze and put all the info to good use.
5. Electrical engineers - While this is another job that isn't new, what the future holds is the chance to tinker with the electric vehicles that are being developed.
6. Alternative propulsion engineers - Sure, it sounds just a tad too geeky, but think about it: With hydrogen, electric, and other alternative fuel sources on the rise, figuring out what the best source is and how it would work will definitely be in demand.
7. Sustainability integration experts - To ensure that all this isn't just some Jetsons-type fascination, these folks will help ensure that there will be newer versions of gadgets and cool cars down the line. Using one's imagination for the greater good is the key here.
So you think you have what it takes to become any of these professionals? Who knows? Your dream job might just be the next big thing.

FDI inflows to Philippines sharply increase in Sept
Foreign direct investment (FDI) poured into the Philippines surged 116 percent to 680 million USD in September from 314 million USD recorded in the same month last year, according to the Philippine central bank (BPS).
The BPS stated that the increase reflects investors' continued confidence in the country's strong economic growth and sound macroeconomic fundamentals.
Most FDI sources came from the US, Singapore, Taiwan (China), Japan and Germany, focusing on manufacturing, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, finance and insurance, transportation and warehouse.
The significant rise in FDI during the month was attributed the sustained growth in investments in debt instruments and higher lending of parent companies abroad to their local affiliates to fund existing operations and business expansion plans in the country, the BSP said.
The bank's statistics showed that FDI inflows to the Southeast Asian country in the first nine months of this year reached 4.88 billion USD, 11 percent higher than the goal of 4.44 billion USD set for the whole year.-VNA

Notes from Windward: #62
Fire season starts early this year
Walt talks about fighting the neighbor's grass fire
At Windward, we don't have to worry about floods or hurricanes, earth quakes or tornados; the natural disaster that we have to prepare for each year is wildfire. It's such a fact of life in the forest that we don't talk in terms of "if fire comes this way" but rather in terms of what we'll do "when fire comes this way."
Being caught up in a wildfire is something you'll never forget, and something which will forever change the way you feel about a hot summer day in the forest. Even when things are at their most quiet and tranquil, there looms a sense of how very fast it can all change into a nightmare.
the point of ignition
A hot, windy summer day makes me start to itch; not from the heat, but rather as Shakespeare has MacBeth say,
"By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes."
Once there's smoke in the air, there's not a lot you can do; the time to fight fire is before the fire starts. To that end, we spent last weekend burning a dozen trailer loads of dead branches trimmed from the lower trunks of the trees in The Grove. That area is going to be used for a woodland wedding later this summer, so with the help of friends from Portland, we did what we could to reduce the fire danger for that area.
When fire comes to that area, it will just rush through leaving the trees unharmed. What kills the trees is when the dead and dry lower branches catch fire and take the heat up the tree. With nothing much to burn, the wave front of burning grass will pass by too quickly to penetrate the bark and do damage.
Once a burn becomes a forest fire, there's not much you can do other than to protect your buildings. We do that in advance by removing burnable brush from around them, and by techniques such as utilizing metal roof construction since metal roofs won't catch fire when an ember lands on them. Cedar shake roofs are beautiful and blend in with the woods nicely, but all it takes is one spark and they're gone in no time at all.
Fergie the tractor and the water tanker
Still, there's a time between the point of ignition and the point at which you have a full scale forest fire on your hands, and that's when your first response capability can make all the difference. To that end, we've built a first response tanker that carries 300 gallons of water and uses a pump to shoot a stream of water some 50 feet.
Yesterday, it made all the difference.
A neighbor was building a utility trailer. After making a weld, he was using a grinder to clean up the weld. The wind took one of the sparks from the grinder and landed it in the dry grass behind his work area. By the time he'd stopped grinding and turned around, the grass was on fire.
He fought the fire with what he had at hand, a blanket, but all that did was fan the flames. Between the shock of the unexpected fire and the inhalation of the smoke, he started to experience severe chest pains. He'd recently had open heart surgery, so he called 911 to report the fire and request an ambulance.
the far side of the road is Windward
We usually use our mailing address of 55 Windward Lane, but the street address for our new entrance will be 355 Wahkiacus. When a call went out announcing that there was a grass fire at 340 Wahkiacus, a friend with a scanner radio passed along the word to Cindy, and she passed the word along to me.
I got in my pickup to go investigate, but decided to hook up the tanker and take that with me just in case. This is where the real kudos go to Brad; he stopped a forest fire in the making, and he wasn't even here.
Brad had left the afternoon of the day before to go back to South Dakota to attend a wedding, but in the morning before he left, he took the time to go to The Grove, retrieve the tanker, refill the water used over the weekend, and leave it here on the landing ready to go. It was his foresight and attention to detail that enabled the rest of the story to have a happy ending.
Windward is bounded on its eastern side by the county road. As I rode the tractor downhill towards the smoke (and it's an interesting feeling to be using a light tractor to "tow" a ton of water downhill), I could see that the fire had spread to more than an acre, but hadn't yet gotten out of the field in which it had started.
the fire jumped the dirt road to the north, and was burning the needles under this pine
The wind was blowing towards the northwest, so this was a case in which Windward really was "to windward" If the fire got away, it was heading straight for us.
I started wetting down the fire line as it came up to the fence along the county road since that posed the most immediate danger of igniting the field across the county road. Once I had that shut down, I moved back uphill to hold the fire at the dirt road that separated the burning field from the property to the north.
That was tough since the owner had put a gate across the road and secured it with a chain and padlock. I had a 150' of hose on the tanker, so shoved the hose under the gate, climbed over the gate, and arrived just in time to put out a patch of fire that had already jumped the lane.
As you can see, the fire was well established in the dry needles laying at the base of a pine. Had it burned much longer, the pine would ignited and sent a shower of embers everywhere, and at that point, it would have been a job for the heavy equipment.
right behind the fire jump there was a large pile of dry slash
As it was, I was able to douse that fire, and to put out the flames along the fence line. That put a stop to the progression of the fire along its west and north sides; in other words, the fire was stopped from running with the wind. A grass fire will burn into the wind, but only slowly, and by that time, the real fire fighters were starting to arrive.
As it was, there wasn't much for them to do but mop up the hot spots within the burned field. They quickly made sure that everything was secure and proceeded to check out their gear. This was their first call out of the fire season, so it was a good chance to test systems and equipment.
The fire chopper even arrived and landed in our pasture to await developments. If the fire had gotten out of hand, the chopper would have lifted water from the river to dump on hot spots. It sure was comforting to hear the "whomp whomp whomp" sound of its rotors coming in.
Afterwards, there was a time of bonding as the neighbors all gathered together to express their relief at the fire not being any worse than it was. Like in any neighborhood, there's always room for friction between neighbors, but when something like this happens, petty aggravations are quickly forgotten.
the bucket chopper keeping watch from Windward's pasture
Today it was my chance to be there for the neighborhood, but other neighbors have been there for us at other times. In the face of wildfire, we're all family.


In his videos and installations frequently resembling experimental configurations, Christoph Keller uses the discursive possibilities of art to investigate the themes of science and its utopias. His work ranges from the archaeology of scientific film, to a mirrored bus questioning the ethnocentric cultural viewpoint of science, to a silent film travelogue reflecting on the role of the spoken word.
Keller's solo exhibitions include Small Survey on Nothingness, Schering Stiftung, Berlin (2014); Æther, de la cosmologie à la conscience, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2011); Voyages Extraordinaires, CRAC Alsace, Altkirch, France (2010); Observatorium, Kunstverein Braunschweig (2008) and Encyclopaedia Cinematographica, Kunst-Werke Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2001). His work has been shown internationally in group exhibitions at Sharjah Biennial 13, including the off-site project in Dakar (2017); Sprengel Museum, Hannover (2015); nGbK, Berlin (2012); Fundación PROA, Buenos Aires (2012); Lyon Biennale (2011); Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit (2011) and Museum für Kunst and Gewerbe, Hamburg, among others.
He has been the recipient of the Cité des Arts Bourse de Production, Paris (2011); Berliner Senatsstipendium, Istanbul (2008) and Video-Kunst Preis, Bremen, Germany (2006).
Keller studied mathematics, physics and hydrology in Freiburg, Berlin and Santiago de Chile (1987-1995). He later pursued studies in liberal arts with Katharina Sieverding at the Hochschule der Künste, Berlin (1993-1996) and postgraduate studies in film and art at the Academy of Arts, Cologne (1996-1999). He participated in the Capacete Residency, São Paulo (2012); Goethe-Institut Project Residency, Mexico City (2009) and Résidences Internationales aux Recollets, Paris (2007).


In 1937 Mr. Jordan graduated from Harvard with honors and headed straight for the National Broadcasting Company in New York, where he started as a page. In 1939 he was transferred to the newly formed Television Department where he worked as a property man, floor manager and, in a crisis, spare announcer and any other position that needed filling. He was part of the original station staff when NBC inaugurated the first regular TV broadcast service in the U.S. After a 4-year tour with the U.S. Army Air Force during WWII, he returned to the NBC Television Department and became a Producer/Director on numerous programs during one of the most exciting times our industry has seen. He directed the first live telecast of the NBC Symphony with Toscanini, the first live telecast from the United Nations, the first live telecast from a submarine, the first live telecast from an aircraft carrier, and the Republican, Democratic and Progressive Political Conventions from Philadelphia. He was also an accomplished writer for the network, handling genres from documentaries to dramas.
In 1948 Mr. Jordan moved to Denver, and began teaching radio, TV and film at the University of Denver. He taught television to students when there was no working TV station in Denver; so effective were his methods, that students were able not only to identify TV equipment when visiting other cities, but also describe how and why it functioned, just from having been in Mr. Jordan's classes!
In 1952 Mr. Jordan joined John Newell and Herman Urshell to form Western Cine Service, Inc., for years the largest film-processing lab between Kansas City and L.A. He hosted "The Right to Talk" on KWGN-TV, and was appointed to the Colorado Education Television Commission in 1962 by Governor McNichols.
Mr. Jordan's intelligence, commitment to high standards and passion for radio, television and film have influenced several generations of broadcast students, and many of our leaders and colleagues in the industry.


IT'S not secret Australians are among the most obsessed with technology in the world.
But have you ever thought about how much that obsession is really costing you - in time, money - not to mention missed social connections?
According to Suncorp's Cost of Being Digitally Savvy report, Aussies aged between 18 and 64 spend an average of almost $2500 a year on technology and digital services - that's $37 billion.
And they are spending 1650 hours online every year- far more than they are talking to their kids, catching up with friends or meeting neighbours.
While connecting to the internet was revealed as the biggest expense ($1,428) followed by the purchase of digital devices ($772), the nation's thirst for on-demand entertainment via TV subscriptions and apps totalled $265 per person.
Families (with children under 18) spending nearly a quarter more than the national average ($2,995), which was primarily driven by mobile phones and streaming devices.
Suncorp's Cost of Being Digitally Savvy report reveals how much our online obsession is costing us.
Suncorp's Tony Wessling said the research found we spend between four to five hours online every day, which equates to nearly 68 days a year.

Japan Gold
Primary ticker: TSXV:JG, OTCQB:JGLDF
Project to promote: 31 Projects
Project location: Japan
Website: www.japangold.com
Japan Gold Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused solely on gold exploration across the three largest islands of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu. The Company has a country-wide alliance with Barrick Gold Corporation to jointly explore, develop and mine certain gold mineral properties and mining projects. The Company holds a portfolio of 31 gold projects which cover areas with known gold occurrences, a history of mining and are prospective for high-grade epithermal gold mineralization. Japan Gold's leadership team represent decades of resource industry and business experience, and the Company has recruited geologists, drillers and technical advisors with experience exploring and operating in Japan.
Institutional Investors – 55%
Newmont – 10%
Public Float – 28%
John Proust, C.Dir. – Chairman & CEO
Mr. John Proust has successfully founded and managed several resource companies throughout his career. Since 1986, he has been a board member and held senior operating positions, serving as a key advisor and leader of corporate strategy, debt and equity financing, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate restructuring. In addition to his position as Chairman and CEO of Japan Gold Corp., Mr. Proust is currently Chairman and CEO of Southern Arc Minerals Inc. and a director of Rise Gold Corp. Mr. Proust has extensive experience in corporate governance, is a graduate of The Directors College, Michael G. De Groote School of Business at McMaster University and holds the designation of Chartered Director.
Our portfolio of 31 Gold Projects was the basis of the Barrick Gold Country-Wide Alliance and our first-mover advantage has secured Newmont Corporation as a significant shareholder, validating our thesis that there are major gold deposits yet to be discovered in Japan.
The Japan Gold Barrick Alliance was formed in February 2020 and the Barrick Alliance portfolio increased 42% since its formation to cover more prospective ground.
Barrick has solely funded an initial evaluation of 29 projects from the Japan Gold portfolio. The Japan Gold team has completed an enormous amount of work over the past 2 ½ years evaluating the 29 Barrick Alliance projects in order to demonstrate high quality of the Japan Gold project portfolio and its prospectivity. It's highly encouraging that Barrick has selected 6 projects with the potential to host Tier 1 or Tier 2 ore bodies and we look forward to aggressively advancing these projects.
With the thorough evaluations completed by the Barrick Alliance, the Company now holds a comprehensive and unique data set on Japan's epithermal-gold districts and is well-positioned to advance areas of high-prospectivity which don't fit Barrick's criteria but may still host large high-grade gold deposits. The Company is internally evaluating all projects that Barrick did not select, which remain at an early stage of investigation but offer exploration potential, with a view to determining which to advance independently or by bringing in additional partners.
In addition to the 29 projects under our strategic alliance with Barrick, Japan Gold is also developing the Ikutahara Project in the northern island of Hokkaido and the Ohra-Takamine Project in the southern island of Kyushu.
Recent drilling at the Ryuo prospect within the Ikutahara Project has intersected high-grade veins including 20m @6.3 g/t gold and 0.45 m @ 1,395 g/t gold which confirm high-grade vein mineralization is continuous below historical workings closed in 1943.
Ryuo Prospect: 7 additional drill holes completed (assays pending).
Saroma Valley prospect: 6 drill holes currently being completed.
Kitano-o East prospect: drilling scheduled H2 2022
