White sea glass is so underrated.
It is a powdered sugar doughnut.
It is candy, that sticks to your teeth.
It is the gem that you find in an alchemist's velvet pouch.
It is grandma's pickle dish, dangling from a chain.
Sea Glass Wisdom: What am I Chasing?
I have a special fondness for sea glass with words. It's like I've found a clue. Or sometimes it's a message from the Great Beyond.
Chase. What am I chasing?
I'm chasing something. With fierce determination.
Freedom. That's why there are flames coming out of my heels and my reflection is a blur. I don't relax. I chase.
But the biggest irony of all is that in my quest for freedom, I have given up so much freedom. The freedom to read novels in the evening and paint on Saturdays. The freedom to write poetry late into the night. The freedom to do nothing.
But there is still time for sea glass.

I poked a hole in my finger and bled whilst practising what appeared to be a simple wire-wrapping technique. Note to self: Do not practise with 20g steel wire. It's much too stiff and horrendous to work with.
I didn't realize that wire wrapping would be so difficult.
Even something as simple as making jump rings takes a lot of practise. After making dozens of jump rings and not having them close properly, I figured out that my cutters just weren't 'cutting it.' Well, they actually were cutting it, but they weren't creating perfectly straight cuts (I'm using half-hard sterling silver wire, which is quite soft.) I finally ponied up the money for a jeweler's saw which I have yet to use. Hopefully the cuts will be much cleaner. Meantime, I've bought a bunch of sterling silver jump rings on Etsy.
I also found out I was closing the jump rings using the wrong technique (I was moving both of my hands.) Here is a helpful video on how to close a jump ring properly, which involves keeping one of your hands stationary.
Now, off to the basement to poke some more holes in my fingers. Arghhh!
He applied the quote to his own life as a musician. He said he probably could have written better songs if he had more obedience to his craft and not been distracted by the many causes etc. that have required his time and energy.
Now, I'm no Bono, but I could relate entirely. I often wonder how much better my writing would be if I devoted myself entirely to it, instead of dabbling in so many other things. I also wonder how far I could have gone as a visual artist if I would have stayed in art school and ran with it.
I am not obedient to one thing. Not writing. Not painting. Not photography. Not jewelry making.
But I do obey my heart. And it tells me that those long, slow walks on the beach in search of sea glass also make life worth living.
I always drag my camera equipment to the beach. It's not just a point and click I carry with me – it's a big, honking Lowepro backpack carrying my Nikon D70s and two lenses. After a few miles of walking, it feels like a burden. Oftentimes I bring the camera and don't end up taking any photos. Today I snapped a few during the last few minutes of our trip to the beach. The kids were tired and aching to get back into the car. The dog was soggy and sandy. And my legs were tired and not in the mood for doing squats (which is the norm when I take photos. ) Somehow I rounded up my girls and my husband, filled their hands with sea glass and snapped a few photos. I'm glad I made the effort. This is one of my favourite sea glass shots. I love how my husband's hand forms a heart around the glass, and my little girls' hands form an upside down heart. And I love the colours. I am going to have this one enlarged and framed to remind me of a perfect Easter day at the beach.
Darin and I haven't been out to the beach on our own since last summer. We usually have our two daughters in tow. It was so peaceful and relaxing to go on our own for a change.
Before we headed out, we grabbed a large Starbucks coffee and a greasy BELT from Tim Horton's. The 40 minute ride was pure bliss. No screaming children, no panting dog, just the whirl of the wheels and some ambient tunes in the background. I was suddenly transported back to a time when these carefree road trips were the norm. That was seven years ago.
There wasn't a huge amount of glass today, but we found a few gems. The best one was a huge, smooth and well frosted gray. It will definitely be one of the stars of my collection. It's much too large to make jewelry with, but it will make a beautiful display piece.
I'm quite lucky that I picked it up. It's so well frosted that it looked like a stone. The true beauty and depth of the glass comes through when it's wet and the sun is gleaming through it. In this form it has a blueish, violet tinge. Stunning – as you can see from the photo that I shot today at the beach.

Europe migrant crisis: Germany's 'open door' refugee employment problems, 12 months on
By freelance correspondent Andrew McCathie in Berlin Updated Sat 3 Sep 2016, 4:28 PM AEST
Deutsche Post has hired 50 refugees, including Gheis Dayob and Anas Almalla.
Twelve months after Germany's leader Angela Merkel surprised both Germans and Berlin's European partners by opening her country's borders to one million refugees, those asylum seekers are struggling to find work.
In September 2015 the most powerful politician in Europe said there was no option but to take the high ground, responding to the human tide of misery escaping wars and shattered lives.
Ms Merkel said the nation's constitution — requiring support for those fleeing persecution — demanded it.
"We can manage" became her mantra. But "managing it" has proven to be very difficult.
Gheis Dayob and Anas Almalla are two of the Syrian refugees welcomed by large sections of society into Europe's economic powerhouse. They both escaped shattered lives, and have found work and refuge in Germany.
Photo Gheis Dayob hoped to settle in Germany because it respects human rights
"Are we lucky? Absolutely," said 23-year-old Mr Almalla, who was an engineering student in Damascus, before his neighbourhood was devastated in the bombing and mayhem of Syria's five-year civil war.
Mr Dayob and Mr Almalla now work together at one of Germany's biggest companies, Deutsche Post DHL, the giant postal and courier service.
But they are in a small minority. Only 54 refugees have landed jobs with Germany's top 30 companies — and 50 of them are employed at Deutsche Post.
Mr Dayob and Mr Almalla know how fortunate they are. They have regular work, and apartments.
The future looks bright for them now, just as the past was desperate and terrible.
'My dream has come true'
Mr Almalla arrived in Germany when the door was opened. He had already been at the mercy of people smugglers, catching a flimsy raft across the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece.
He joined other refugees trekking for days along the so-called Balkan route through Serbia, Croatia and Austria uncertain of what lay ahead, and propelled by his determination to reach Germany.
Photo Anas Almalla is able to complete his engineering studies at Magdeburg university.
Mr Dayob, 35, criss-crossed Europe with his wife and young family, after leaving his work in a telecoms shop and fleeing Syria's north-western city of Masyaf. He finally made it to Germany just as the numbers of refugees were beginning to surge.
"I chose to come here because it is a country that respects human rights," Mr Dayob said.
"There are also good job opportunities here, and there is a good future for my kids."

Both Mr Almalla and Mr Dayob are learning German in intensive courses, and have enjoyed generous workplace support under Deutsche Post's extensive refugee assistance programs.
"The most positive experience I have had since I arrived is getting into this society and being accepted," Mr Almalla said.
He was drawn to Germany because of its reputation for engineering excellence.
"I cannot find anything negative to say about my life here. It's a modern country. The people try to understand every situation," Mr Almalla said.
He has also secured a place at Magdeburg's university where he can complete his engineering studies.
"My dream has come true."
Gallery Asylum seeker crisis in Europe (Warning: Graphic content)
Most refugees face limbo after voter backlash
More than 30,000 refugees have secured low-paid work in restaurants, in construction or bakeries. A few hundred are doing traineeships.
A Syrian refugee was also named in August as wine queen for one of the nation's wine-growing areas.
But the reality for most of the million refugees is a sad limbo. Faced with the threat of a voter backlash, the Government has stepped up deportations for those who fail to meet asylum conditions as well as stricter limits on family reunion along with tough times finding a job.
Last year Daimler CEO, Dieter Zetsche, had painted a different picture. The head of the automobile company described the refugees as highly motivated, and said they would drive a new "economic miracle".
But Daimler has been slow to take on any of the newcomers as workers.
Journey in search of a better life
In a special report, ABC correspondents Mary Gearin, Barbara Miller and Sophie McNeill follow some asylum seekers on their long path through Europe.
Despite more than 660,000 job vacancies, the nation's biggest companies find the refugees do not have enough skills, and do not speak German.
Up until recently, the refugee crisis had largely vanished from the news. The Government believed it had moved into the phase of integrating the new arrivals.
But the mood changed in July after four violent attacks in two weeks in Germany — three of which were inspired by the extremist Islamic State. It fuelled fear and resentment.
Two of the attacks in Bavaria — when a 27-year-old Syrian refugee blew himself up in an apparent suicide bombing, and a 17-year-old Afghan asylum seeker assaulted train passengers with an axe — also sparked fresh tensions in Ms Merkel's conservative-led coalition, over her stance on refugees.
Since then, Ms Merkel has emphasised public safety and beefed up police numbers. She has lent support to calls from leading members of her Christian Democrats for tough measures, such as banning the full-face veil.
Merkel approval rating at five-year low

Ms Merkel was for a long time Germany's most popular politician. As she opened Germany's borders last September, she was riding high at 63 per cent, but her support has now plummeted to a five-year low of 45 per cent.
Now she risks being politically weakened, just as she prepares to announce a tilt at next year's national elections.
The mass arrival of refugees has lead to a surge in support for right-wing political parties, whose slogans drum up hatred: "The refugees live in luxury while the Germans live in poverty."
Both Mr Dayob and Mr Almalla are aware of the political turmoil the refugees' presence in Germany has unleashed across the country.
"Sometimes I notice it a little bit in their faces," Mr Almalla said, referring to signs of anxiety shown by some people in the street about the newcomers.
Despite rising tensions, thousands of Germans still work as volunteers, helping refugees through the nation's bureaucracy, teaching them German and pitching in to help in refugee homes.
While Mr Dayob is adamant his future lies here in Germany, Mr Almalla is not so sure. He feels the call of his birth country, and hopes to return one day.
"It is your own country," he said. "You have to do something to rebuild your country."

The docTrackr acquisition brought plug-in free, lifetime document security into the Intralinks platform. I was tasked with naming the new software feature and crafting the brand story.
I felt it was imperative that we frame the encryption feature in a way that would negate any comparisons to DRM—Digital Rights Management. DRM really only refers to consumer-facing media. We needed to ensure the branding was specific to the enterprise. Information Rights Management (IRM) is often used interchangeably as Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) but let's face it, less is more. IRM just sounds more...elegant. Not to mention more explicit as to what you are protecting. Information.

Phnom Penh Post - Timber-processing plants raided in Kampong Chhnang, Oddar Meanchey
Forestry Administration officers raided four timber-processing facilities in Kampong Chhnang. Police
Wed, 22 April 2020
A 39-year-old man was sent to the Oddar Meanchey Provincial Court on Wednesday for operating a timber-processing facility in Trapaing Prasat district's Trapaing Prasat commune without a permit.
Provincial environment department director Phuong Lina said 14 cubic metres of timber was seized from the makeshift workshop.
"We arrested him on Tuesday. His case is being handled by the court and the timber is being retained at the Kulen Promtep environment bureau," he said.
A report published on the National Military Police website said local authorities led by the provincial court deputy prosecutor raided the facility on Tuesday and confiscated 316 pieces of first-grade timber totaling 14.06 cubic metres.
In a similar case in Kampong Chhnang province, Forestry Administration officers raided four timber-processing facilities in Teuk Phos district's Tuol Khpos commune and seized four cubic metres of wood.
Provincial Forestry Administration director Thorng Vanvy Ravuthy said the workshops, which processed wood to make furniture, were operating without a licence.
Officers planned to raid six other workshops, Vanvy Ravuthy said, declining to disclose their locations.
"The owners of those furniture-making workshops have already escaped, leaving behind timber and machines used to produce furniture. We are retaining the wood and machines as evidence at the provincial Forestry Administration. The owners will be held accountable," he said.
Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries director Ngin Hun told The Post on Tuesday that authorities had launched a series of clampdowns on timber-processing facilities and will continue to hunt down the perpetrators.
"The authorities are working on it. We will pursue our crackdowns. Most timber that they used to make furniture are from Pursat and Kampong Speu provinces. There is no wood in Kampong Chhnang province to process," he said.
Speaking to ann.com.kh on Wednesday, a man and his son who claimed to own one of the furniture-processing workshops that was raided, said they had operated the facility for two years with a permit from the district Forestry Administration.
The son, who only gave his first name as Vanna, alleged that the raid came even after he paid 600,000 riel ($150) to commune police.
Contact for the commune police station could not be found on Wednesday.

Milan, 18 June 2018 - In the charming setting of Biarritz, before thousands of bikers who came together for the traditional Wheels and Waves event, Moto Guzzi unveiled the new Moto Guzzi V7 III Limited, the most recent stylistic interpretation of the renowned "seven-fifty" from Mandello.
The popular festival dedicated to the combination of motorcycles and surf – Roberto D'Amico, one of the strongest and most respected Italian surfers, has faced the beach break on the French Atlantic coast with the Moto Guzzi logo on his board – has represented the perfect stage for the debut of this exclusive limited edition version in just 500 numbered units.
The Italian surfer Roberto D'Amico with Moto Guzzi V7 III Rough at Biarritz 2018 Wheels & Waves festival.
The V7 III Limited combines the classic and elegant chromium look with refined hi-tech materials such as carbon fibre and aluminium. This is an eclectic and modern look that reiterates how well the V7 III lends itself to customisation, an extremely youthful bike but at the same time a 'Made in Italy' symbol, popular with a transversal and diverse public.
On the Moto Guzzi V7 III Limited, the numerous chromium plated parts are reminiscent of the purest Classic world, beginning with the chromium fuel tank, "wrapped" on the top under a black leather vintage-look strap. On the sides, the unmistakeable Moto Guzzi eagle is done in a particular burnished finish: after all, black is another recurring element on the V7 III Limited, from the alloy wheels to the saddle with "old school" stitching, as well as the typical pattern of carbon fibre, the material used for the front and rear fenders and the side panels. The locking fuel cap is made from billet aluminium, as are the handlebar risers, which bear the model's laser inscribed serial number.

Bos Wars is a futuristic real time strategy game (RTS). In a RTS game, the player has to combat his enemies while developing his war economy. Everything runs in real-time, as opposed to turn-based games where the player always has to wait for his turn. The trick is to balance the effort put into building his economy and building an army to defend and attack the enemies.
Bos Wars has a dynamic rate based economy. Energy is produced by power plants and magma gets pumped from hot spots. Buildings and mobile units are also built at a continuous rate. Control of larger parts of the map creates the potential to increase your economy throughput. Holding key points like roads and passages allow for different strategies.
It is possible to play against human opponents over LAN, internet, or against the computer. Bos Wars successfully runs under Linux, MS Windows, BSD, and Mac OS X.
Bos Wars aims to create a completely original and fun open source RTS game.

Q: Why are there multiple virtualenvs in screen? When I log onto my server, the virtualenv automatically goes to X.
(X)[andrew@hyperion ~]$

But then when I use screen, it changes to
(X)(X)[andrew@hyperion ~]$

If I then try to change the virtual environment (i.e. source Y/bin/activate) I get
(Y)(X)[andrew@hyperion ~]$

When I try deactivate once I get
(X)[andrew@hyperion ~]$

but the second time, I get an error.  If I then try to change the virtual environment to Y, it just goes back to being (Y)(X).
What is going on here?

A: When you remote login, bash (or your shell) executes source $HOME/virtualenvs/X/bin/activate and modifies PS1(the shell prompt) to add the (X) prefix.
When you launch screen, a new shell is created which in turn executes source $HOME/virtualenvs/X/bin/activate, however for some reason, the existing virtualenv is not available within screen so it creates a new virtualenv and prefixes PS1 with it's name (also (X)), however PS1 already has the (X) prefix at this point, so you see the double (X)(X).
When you manually source Y/bin/activate, the existing virtualenv is switched from X inside screen, to Y. So the prompt changes to (Y)(X)....
When you deactivate, you jump out of the Y virutalenv, but subsequent deactivate commands fail as the initial X virtualenv is outside of the screen shell.
If you then exit screen and deactivate, you will jump out of the initial X virtualenv.

Description: Colored marker picture by Anthony, a 4th grader.
The morning was cold, thirty-eight degrees, with a chilly wind. Willard Richards left another letter at the camp for the companies that follow. It was put in a box attached to a pole. It included extracts from the camp journal kept by Thomas Bullock. The letter box was directed to "C.C. Rich & Company" and on the other side was inscribed, "North Fork Letter Box."
Soon after they started for the day, the pioneers arrived at some bluffs which extended all the way down to the river. They crossed a stream and started to ascend the sandy bluffs. William Clayton wrote: "On these sandy bluffs, there are very many small lizards about four or five inches long from nose to the end of the tail, which is an inch and a half long. The body looks short and chunky and is of a light grey color with two rows of dark brown spots on each side of the body which make it appear striped. The head is shaped something like the head of a snake. They appear perfectly harmless and are pretty in appearance." They crossed over the bluffs without difficulty and found very good grass on the west side. The bottoms were mashy which made it "soft wheeling among the sloughs."
At 11:45 a.m., the pioneers stopped to feed the animals after traveling almost seven miles. Howard Egan and Phinehas Young traveled back to get some water at the headwaters of a stream. They found "five boiling springs, boiling up several inches." One of Phinehas Young's horses became mired in a swamp and had to be hauled out with ropes by several of the men.
At 1:40 p.m., the journey continued on this warm afternoon. They soon came to a stream about thirty feet wide, but very shallow. They crossed without difficulty, came to some hills and crossed more steams. At 3:40 p.m., the wagons halted as word came that the hunters had killed a buffalo and two men were sent back to get it. About the same time Revenue Cutter arrived with two buffalo and an antelope. Brigham Young was not pleased that the camp was detained because he felt that they already had enough meat.
The wagons continued their journey until 6 p.m. The day's journey covered nearly thirteen miles. The camp was established about a half mile from the river. As usual, wells of about four feet deep were dug to obtain water close to the camp. Wilford Woodruff wrote: "We saw very large droves of deer to day in the bottom the most we have ever seen any day on the road. A young fawn was picked up & brought into camp & kept." The fawn was caught by Roswell Stevens and Lorenzo Young hoped to raise it.

'Everyone Told Me It Would End My Career'
Erin Alexander
....Amber Heard on Coming Out as Bisexual
Amber Heard has always been forthright about her sexuality, but coming out publicly when she was a rising star wasn't easy.
The 30-year-old spoke candidly on Thursday at The Economist's second-annual Pride & Prejudice Summit in New York, recalling the 2010 media storm after she revealed that she identifies as bisexual.
"Well, I always say in response — when I hear someone comment about me coming out, I think it's funny because I was never in," she said. "In part because I was very stubborn, I guess, and also in part because I just didn't feel it was wrong."

First, it is always easier to avoid the trap, then out of it than to get out. So moving to regions where there are quicksand, or picking her way through the swamp - try to be vigilant, to walk with care, to probe the ground in front of a sixth.
Incidentally, this is the pole or stick traveler - in general, extremely useful, versatile piece. She can fend off attacks of beasts; balance, passing complex plots; buttress cape, but in our case - proschupyvatelem land and the very thing that will help to get out of the quagmire, if you still have failed.
So, you've inadvertently stepped forward and collapsed into a bog swamp, or quicksand. As a rule, once a person falls just above the knees or waist, and only then begins to gently slough sucked him further. No need to twist your feet, panic and flounder - it just speed dive into the abyss. Need to keep yourself in hand, to normalize the breath for 5-10 seconds and get out without delay. If there is a stick or a backpack, they are placed in front of him. It is necessary to take up arms support, lean at the waist and lie down on his chest and pulling in his arms, trying to drag, gone into the quagmire of his feet. Here is a simple but effective technique.


Social media are becoming a popular tool in marketing. With most travel companies still somewhat reluctant, these two articles tell you why you should join in.
Travel is increasingly becoming a social experience. Not just sing along at a campfire social, but 21st century digital social. Indeed, even the most solitary of travellers can't resist uploading a selfie with a breathtaking backdrop, and then waiting for the likes and comments to roll in. As a result, it would seem only natural for a commercial travel agent to join in. Right?
This article starts out with stating how a lot of travel agents feel: social media can be pretty intimidating as a marketing tool. According to Ron Cates, an international director for digital marketing education, however, social media is instrumental in creating and nurturing brand advocates. He glosses over the most important social channels and how to correctly use them, and he provides a definition for the term "digital forgiveness." Read the article to discover what it means.
The second article expects less of an active role to reap the benefits of social media. Instead of active participation, this link lists the advantages of merely listening to what's being said. These advantages range from improving competitive intelligence and marketing to recruitment and innovation. As a whole, it states that travel-related companies, which appear to be more effective social listeners, will appear more sympathetic and attractive to their (potential) customer base.


Despite sports betting experts' criticism for the poor performance in La Liga, where Atletico occupy only the third position (with 10 points deficit from the leader), Madrid are very convincing in the Champions League. After winning their group, los Colchoneros made a very successful trip to Leverkusen in the first leg of the playoff round. They scored 4 goals conceding 2. The betting companies notice that in between Champions League battles Madrid lost to Barcelona (1-2) and drew with Deportivo (1-1), but then they bounced back with the wins over Valencia (3-0) and Granada (1-0).
Bayer Leverkusen go through the difficult times at this moment. The sports betting companies didn't expect them to sit on the 10th position after 24 matchweeks in Bundesliga. So another two flops against Mainz (0-2) and Borussia Dortmund (2-6) triggered Roger Schmidt's dismissal. However, under the direction of Tayfun Korkut Leverkusen didn't improve much as they drew with a struggling Werder Bremen. Thus, being in bad conditions, Bayer's chances to upset Atletico are estimated low on the betting markets.
Before choosing a bet you should take into account the fact that Atletico have won 6 of their last 7 Champions League matches. In addition, Simeone's side are almost invincible at home. Leverkusen have nothing to do, but going all out for the victory. They need 3 goals to go through this stage, but if their attacking power is unquestionable, their defense is too weak and inconsistent. The betting experts remind that suspended Luis and Gabi and injured Tiago and Fernandez will miss out for los Colchoneros. Torres and Gameiro remain doubts. At the same time Leverkusen will miss Calhanoglu, Tah and Bender.
The bookmakers don't believe Bayer can reach the quarterfinal: Madrid to go through – 1,01, Bayer to go through – 21,00. As for the return leg: Atletico – 1,67, Draw – 4,15, Bayer – 5,40. It is recommended to bet on "Total Goals by Home Team over 2" (2,22). Besides, the bet "Madrid or Draw and Total Goals over 2,5" (2,11). Finally, there is a good option "Asian handicap Atletico Madrid -0,75" (1,80).

More than a dozen current and former members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate addressed apartment industry leaders this week as part of the National Multi Housing Council's (NMHC) Fall Board of Directors Meeting.
Washington, D.C.—More than a dozen current and former members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate addressed apartment industry leaders this week as part of the National Multi Housing Council's (NMHC) Fall Board of Directors Meeting. The group engaged in a dialogue on a variety of topics related to multifamily, ranging from comprehensive tax reform to next steps with the Government Sponsored Entities (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
House Members who met with the apartment industry include Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means Dave Camp, Rep. Richard Neal, Rep. Scott Garrett, Rep. Jim Himes and Rep. Peter Roskam. Senators include Senator Jack Reed, Senator Johnny Isakson, Senator Mark Warner, Senator John Thune and Senator Thomas Carper.
A major focus of the conversation centered on GSE reform—including whether there will be a federal guarantee ensuring capital is available to support rental housing in all markets at all times, not just the major coastal cities.

The role of air sterilisation in the fight against Covid-19
By Katie Houghton
Katie Houghton, managing director of CorrMed, explains how air sterilisation could be the superhero in the fight against Covid-19 this winter...
When trying to figure out what 'best' to do for the UK and globally in these unprecedented times, it is easy to become paralysed with indecision at the options. Do we prioritise the NHS while keeping the economy closed and people at home, or is it 'best' to open the economy and try to save jobs, knowingly increasing pressure on healthcare workers?
Add to this the threat of a 'twindemic' with seasonal flu and that indecision deepens. The biggest challenge is people. People spread the pandemic, the pathogens, and the possibility of more problems, and no amount of cleaning, face masks, or hand sanitising can fully eliminate risk as long as people keep interacting. So, what should we do?
Air sterilisation might just be the unsung hero for this problem, both within and beyond the healthcare setting, and both as a short-and long-term solution to support the economy reopening without deepening the risk.
How long will people be prepared to wear masks in public or stick with the rule of six? Shouldn't we be looking ahead to see how we create long-term pathogen controls in public places and offices, not only to reduce the immediate risk and deliver infection control, but also to generally decrease infection risk and absenteeism within the economy?
This can then go hand in hand with the longer-term proactive measures like vaccine and medicine developments which will no doubt help to reduce and treat cases, minimising deaths in the coming years.
What is air sterilisation and how does it help?
Aside from the emergence of new, unseen pathogens like Covid-19, the biggest challenge in infection control stakes is the movement of people. An area is only 'clean' in the moments after it has been cleaned, before people make their way through it; coughing, spluttering, and touching, when aerosolised spores and pathogens start to resettle on surfaces.
Add to this the long-tail incubation period of Covid-19 and a single infected individual is unknowingly spreading the virus for days before they show any symptoms.
Current guidance for managing infection risk has three core focuses: cleaning, accurate record-keeping, and space adaptations such as Perspex screens. The question is whether these steps are enough, or whether they just create the perception of safety within an environment.
According to research by King's College London, who ran an antibody testing study, at least one in five people from the group didn't show any symptoms at all of Covid-19 despite having, or having had the virus. Meanwhile more than 25 per cent who did fall ill, did so without having any of the three core symptoms that commonly identify those with Covid-19. The average business cannot claim to be infection control experts, so how can we manage the real risk of infection effectively?
Air sterilisation is not actually a new solution, but it is in my opinion a severely underutilised one. It involves the installation of a discrete, standalone unit which works by using a series of air and surface purification technologies to help manage infection risk in a room.
Each brand varies slightly in terms of what techniques are used and how effective they are, but they will have a set purpose to neutralise microbes, bacteria, dust or even odours. We are the UK distributors for a brand called AIRsteril for example, which works both for air sterilisation and surface sterilisation by producing plasma quatro.
The AIRsteril technology specifically combines sterilising, cleaning, and purifying technologies, including germicidal UV light, dual UV operation, Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) and a purifying plasma of superoxide ions and optimal ozone. These techniques together kill up to 99.9 per cent of germs and viruses, before releasing the purified air back into the room as a plasma.
The plasma then kills airborne pathogens, viruses, bacteria, fungi, mould spores and allergens, and decomposes odours and harmful gases. Its effectiveness was tested by Leeds University and shows that airborne microorganisms were undetectable after just 60 minutes.
This is where things get really cool, as the process not only manages airborne infection risk, but also sanitises surfaces and the wider environment. The purified plasma breaks down microorganism cell walls, destroying the cells and preventing them from reproducing. As the plasma moves over surfaces – any surfaces including hard and soft materials – it also kills the germs which are left behind by touching, breathing and coughing or which have settled in the environment.
The core advantage is that it works constantly, so even if people move around and leave pathogens behind in between cleaning schedules, viruses and bacteria will likely be eliminated in a matter of minutes if not hours. To put this into context, AIRsteril was tested in a quantified NHS call centre environment, prior to the pandemic; constant air sterilisation resulted in a 42 per cent reduction in absenteeism, particularly for asthma, cold, cough, influenza, chest, and respiratory problems.
While the priority here was managing absenteeism, this model translates to significantly reduced infection transfer, and significantly reduced disruption through suspected Covid-19 cases.
For me, the solution isn't simple, but I genuinely believe that we can successfully minimise infection risk through a combined effort of public and private measures, medicine and vaccines, and with the addition of active technologies like air sterilisation to manage the overall risk.

"Journey to the Stars" at the Smithsonian's Albert Einstein Planetarium
Smithsonian Theaters present a new digital dome planetarium show, "Journey to the Stars." This new show will debut Oct. 2 at the National Air and Space Museum's Albert Einstein Planetarium at Sixth Street and Independence Avenue S.W. in Washington, D.C.
"Journey to the Stars" takes viewers on an intergalactic journey through time and space to explore the life cycles of the stars in the night sky. Audiences will travel back 13 billion years to witness the formation of the universe. From there they will return to the present day to examine the stars and then advance 5 billion years into the future to learn about the inevitable fate of stars such as the sun. The show delivers a visually stunning presentation and uses the immersive 70-foot (21.3-meter) dome.
"Journey to the Stars" uses images captured by instruments in space and on Earth and those from stunning new computer-generated representations based on physics simulations. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, "Journey to the Stars" will shed a new and bright light on how stars are born, tell why they are important to the universe and how they eventually die out.
"Journey to the Stars" was developed by the American Museum of Natural History with the cooperation of NASA and more than 40 leading scientists in the world, including experts from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.
"Journey to the Stars" opens Oct. 2. The 25-minute show will be featured up to eight times daily. Tickets will be available Friday, Sept. 18, and may be reserved up to two weeks in advance. The public may call (202) 633-4629 or visit www.si.edu/imax for information or to purchase tickets.

Weekly Roundup: Block 216, The Carson, Rothko Pavilion, and more
Posted on August 20, 2018 by nextportland
The GBD Architects designed Block 216 tower would rise to a height of 455′, making it one of the tallest buildings in Portland.
The Oregonian published the latest images of Block 216, the hotel, office and residential tower proposed for the 10th & Alder food cart block. The Daily Journal of Commerce reported that the project team faced tough questions from the Design Commission at its second Design Advice Request hearing*.
New construction has sent a flood of new apartments onto the market, leading to a month's free rent becoming standard, writes the Willamette Week.
The Willamette Week reported that The Carson "appears to be among the first apartment complexes in the U.S. to feature Amazon smart-home technology in every apartment".
The Portland Art Museum Rothko Pavilion has been redesigned to incorporate an open passage between the Park Blocks and SW 10th Ave, writes the Oregonian.
Portland Monthly wrote about the District Office, the six-story, cross-laminated timber building that "reflects a booming Central Eastside".
The Overlook Neighborhood opposes new rules for how developers notify neighbors about coming construction projects, reports the Portland Mercury.
The Willamette Week reported that Oregon GOP gubernatorial candidate Knute Buehler opposes the Metro housing bond.

cupcake says:
After seeing so many of these alienating glass structures pop up all over downtown with all their alluring "affordable housing" & academia-based terms like "street activations," I find that these almost always don't fulfill either of their concepts. Block 216 seems to be heading in that same direction with a completely indifferent facade. In favor of the 'monumentalists' on this site, if we build big, why not make it specific to its location that relates to its past and trajectory? Successful urban projects are ones that rely on small, incremental investments (little bets), instead of large, transformative projects. Although that concept typically applies to towns, on a macro scale, I believe it can and should be applied to how a city grows, as it has always grown. It may be our education nowadays but there isn't any real commitment, indebtedness to our ancestral peers in the Architectural field. Think 'low time preference' and see how that theory reflects on our development habits in Portland. As this city dives deeper into "progress" & globalization quicker than ever, I am beginning to understand how developers, including globalized architecture firms, can be enemies of inherited urban cultures that have a commitment to a place and particular people.

DMH says:
I sense where you are coming from, and I am sympathetic. But I also find the juxtaposition of small scale historic buildings with perhaps-glassy contemporary neighboring buildings to be invigorating. I think of Melbourne, Aus. as a pretty good example of mixing old and new. For instance, what if the developer had kept the Lotus and Ancient Order buildings and incorporated them into a large office/ hotel project that knitted them together? It would have had a unique 'Portland' feel.
Mike Caputo says:
DMH, I agree utterly with your suggestion about the Ancient Order and Lotus buildings being incorporated into a new project; that would have been wonderful. But that's not what happened; those buildings have been bulldozed into history now. That's where I sympathize with cupcake's sentiments.
The "little bets" are what bring so much interest and variety to a city. Look at most streets in Manhattan, and you'll see an incredible amount of tall, but very thin buildings walled up against each other. The fact that they're built by different people at different times creates tremendous vibrancy. Unfortunately, Portland is increasingly being shaped by superblocks and mega-projects instead of small-scale efforts. I understand that there are macro-economic forces driving these patterns, but the result is still a shame.
billyjo says:
I have noticed this in the multi block developments like the Pepsi site, and most of the Lloyd / inner Eastside developments. When one company owns the whole thing, they play it safe. We get cute little cafes and shops curated for the same group of people. Places like strip clubs and porn shops aren't welcome….I know those examples are the extreme, but there are alot of businesses / people that are excluded from their vision and since they control everything, what they want is what they get.
A. Paddock says:
An extreme example though that may be, I think you're dead on. In newer stuff, a great deal of things are excluded. It's par for the course that newer development will be for higher end markets, and the appearance of respectability matters tremendously. Anything low market, edgy, or potentially offensive is never invited. Look at the area around The Roxy in Downtown. That used to be a gay neighborhood, and now much of it has been lost to higher end things. Would clubs like Steam or Hawks, set up in areas that were (and still are to an extent) undesirable be allowed in the Pearl or South Waterfront? Upscale housing is going up near both of them (and in the case of Steam, next door). How much do you want to bet the neighbors will eventually take exception because they don't like the idea of a gay bathhouse? There's also a sex shop just down the street on Sandy in the 30s. What happens if that area becomes desirable? Look how many small mom and pop shops are still on Hawthorne compared to upscale ones in all the new development on Division.
Class, sexuality, and race are still grounds for exclusion in this society. When black people on the north side talk about feeling like they've become outsiders in their own community, I can, as a gay man, relate. Gay people, contrary to popular belief, typically make less than average incomes last I read. Our businesses used to cluster in unwanted areas where you'd also find other minorities and subcultures. Once the straight, white money moves in, it's not long before the original community scatters. The edginess of your community is commoditized and sold to someone else and finally "cleaned up." Hard edges make a place interesting and give its character; homogenization diminishes that but makes it acceptable for investors and certain classes of people that want the benefits of urban living without the weirdos and problems that used to be there.
In short, it's illustrative of a trend in our country that's alarmed me for a while: the conversion of community into a commodity. Community is becoming less about the people who live there and more about being able to plunk down the money to inhabit a given place which now commands a premium. If community is about wealth, then poor communities are non-communities and often treated as such.
Hawthorne has far more chain restaurants and stores than Division.
It's a beautiful building, just as it is proposed. But the design commission, always openly hostile to any tall building, will try to flex their muscles and neuter this building into yet another soviet-style box, whether it be tall or not. The arrogance of the commission always amazes me. I'll be surprised if the developers don't just give up on the whole thing.
Mat says:
Oh the developers will surely give up on this.. In this recent boom we haven't had anything in this scale break ground. In fact anything over 22 stories or so hasn't even made an appearance..
I have no idea why the design commission is hating on this proposal. It's a very beautiful proposal and a real shame their pushing away the developers with much negativity.
Add this one on the many "what if" lists in Portland building history
David Benson says:
I have to agree with the commission on this one. Note that they did not object to the height of the building, but primarily to two problems with the design: 1) the amount and placement of the space given over to cars, and 2) the incoherence of the design and the poor job it did to respond to older establish buildings in its vicinity. While I do not always agree with the design commission, I find that when I compare the original designs submitted to them with the final ones that they approve, the finished ones are nearly always better. While there's undoubtedly ways the process could be improved, I really encourage everyone who complains about the grueling process for getting stuff built in Portland to consider a some realities. First, building IS booming here; in fact, as recent news stories have pointed out, not only can't City staff keep up, the labor market for needed skilled construction workers cannot keep up. And second, there is a good reason that more and more people are coming to Portland, both the live and as tourists. Our recent built environment – thanks in great part to the design commission – is done with considerable sensitivity to the pedestrian street experience, to avoiding the car-centric errors of the past.
Why on Earth should any new building "respond to" and "reflect upon" and "echo" the surrounding structures? Literally who cares. It's a new building; the whole point is that it's different than what came before. The existing structures should have ZERO say as long as the new building meets building codes/setback requirements and/or achieves legal variances thereof. I am so sick of every Tom Dick and Harry thinking they have a right to influence what other people do with their own property. Maybe if we didn't drown every new project in years worth of red tape, pointless 'design review', and public hearings so that the whiny public can air their pointless and uneducated concerns, the housing crisis would have been solved by now.
Tokyo, Japan has affordable housing even downtown because they don't allow people to stop their neighbors from building something because "oh well the facade isn't to my liking!!" They just check to see if it meets code, and rubber stamp it. Done. That's how it SHOULD be done in "the land of the free".
I think you raise a central question in urban development: To what extent should property owners get to do whatever they want with their property and to what degree does the community have the right, through its organs of government, to regulate property use? I am not sure where the exact line is, but I do think our city can legitimately set bounds on development. A property does not exist in isolation. It's value is determined by context. It is precisely because there are lots of other buildings and people nearby that urban property is costly and worth sinking millions of dollars into developing. All kinds of public spending has gone into making private property more valuable: parks, transit systems, streets, legal systems, fire and police services, etc. And some places are more desirable and thus more valuable than others because they've been designed with an eye to street vitality and beauty.
How people are allowed to build affects others. Thus the public has a legitimate interest in how you build.
And by the way, I lived in Tokyo for over two years as a young adult and very much enjoyed my stay there. It's certainly a dynamic place. But it's not much on a human scale, and is not going to show up on many lists of most charming and beautiful cities. I'd love to visit Tokyo again, but I'd much rather live in Portland.
I understand where you're coming from, but we already have laws that exist to promote good, well-designed buildings. They're called building codes and zoning laws. They require certain amounts of glass at street level, landscaping for unsightly elements, setbacks or lack thereof where appropriate, etc. Those are supposed to make sure that any proposed building will be a decent contribution. I.E., the problem was ALREADY solved.
I have no idea how all of this design review garbage started, but it needs to be canned immediately if we really care about affordable housing. I understand how the street-level of Tokyo is a bit more chaotic and that every 3 story apartment building doesn't go through a fine-toothed comb for 2 years, but a perfectly designed streetscape (right down to the finish choices!) means nothing if developers are scared off or rent has to be increased to cover all the time and labor spent on the design review song and dance.
Richard H says:
More of the same old crap from the same old "Design Dictators Comittee" Lets homogonize this city so it looks the same.
Mirch says:
What's the point of building codes and zoning laws if you have design reviews telling architects and developers what to do?
No wonder it takes up to 2 years to get things started in this small minded city

Jackson Co. community health partners collaborate on vaccine clinic
Posted by Grace Smith March 5, 2021
India's COVID crisis worsens
MEDFORD, Ore.- Community collaboration has been the theme of vaccination in Jackson County.
"There is a number of other smaller entities in the community that really banded together to do what is best for the community and try to vaccinate people as quickly as possible," said Doug Ward, Vice President of Operations for Asante Physician Partners.
He and other medical officials unveiled a brand new county-wide collaboration: a community COVID-19 vaccination clinic. It's a result of a partnership between Asante, Providence, and Jackson County Public Health.
"Representatives of the entire medical community have been meeting regularly to develop these plans together. Now we are pooling our resources for a single vaccination clinic," explained Providence's Dr. Brandan Hull. He says the new clinic will simplify the vaccination process for residents. It's been in the works since early February.
Its goal is to centralize scheduling and vaccinations, and also adjust to the varying federal supply.
"A clinic like this can be nimble, can expand, and we can do our best to get vaccines in arms," said Jackson County Medical Director Dr. Jim Shames. He says it will also help address the medical inequality exposed by the pandemic.
"The issue of equity has been very important to us and we want to make sure that whether or not you have transportation or language barriers or others, we can provide you with vaccination opportunities," he explained.
Unlike the Expo events the partners held earlier this year, this new clinic, at an Asante facility, will operate five days a week. It's goal is administer up to a thousand doses every day.
Asante, Providence and Jackson County Public Health say their partnership is the best way to vaccinate the local population. The centralized clinic will make it easy to know where to go when you're eligible.
People can call the county's vaccination hotline at 541-789-2813 to schedule a reservation when eligible, and even be connected with other community partners, like La Clinica. While some reservation-only clinics have struggled with no-shows and have risked vaccine going to waste, Ward says they even have a plan for that.
"We have a kind of a list of people at the end of the day if we forecast we are going to have extra vaccines."
Just like the mass vaccination events at the Expo, the clinic is staffed by a mix of Asante, Providence, and other volunteers.
"This is broader than just Asante and Providence," said Dr. Hull. "We welcome the involvement of all the medical community to help with this."
"We have retired nurses, retired physicians coming in to vaccinate, mix vaccines, direct traffic. Non-clinical folks as well," said Ward.
The collaborative effort is also underway this weekend in Josephine County. Ward says they already have about 1,000 reservations for the clinic, and people can still call the vaccine hotline to make one.

It's quite hard to have a healthy relationship and enjoy a hobby at the same time because there are not enough hours in the day. Most people work long hours and by the time they get home at night and have dinner there isn't long left until it's time to go to bed.
If you're a member of a sports club it can take up the rest of your night. You can either spend time with your partner, or you can go out and play sport with your friends. How can you possibly choose what to do? Maybe you don't have to because there is a third option: You could find a sport that both you and your partner love and you can play it together whenever you want. It means you get to spend time together and enjoy a sport.
Golf is one of those amazing sports that can be played at any age, so if you're a little older you don't have anything to worry about. During the week you can hit balls together at the driving range and at the weekend you can play a whole course.
Because you're not running around like a crazy person it's the perfect environment for talking at the same time as playing. Just make sure you're quiet when someone is ready to hit a shot.
Although you won't be able to talk as much when you're playing tennis it's still one of those sports where you can have a lot of fun hitting the ball back and forth. You see lots of couples playing with bats and a ball on the beach and tennis is just a step up from that. If you are friends with another couple who are interested in playing you can all go together and play doubles. It makes it a lot more interesting and you will win or lose together.
Squash is like the extreme equivalent of tennis. You're still smashing a little ball around expect it's at a much faster pace. This would probably be better for couples that are already fit, or ones hoping to become fitter than ever before in their lives. Another great thing about squash is that it's played indoors so it doesn't really matter what the weather is like. You'll also only be able to play for about an hour each time because it's so taxing on your body.
If you've never snowboarded before you'll be happy to know it's easy to learn. You're basically just standing there while you slide down a mountain. There is more involved than that, but not much. You could even ski instead if you wanted to. The reason it's a great sport to take up is because it will give you something to do it winter, plus if you become addicted to it you can go on holiday to some of the best ski resorts in the world. See some great articles and ideas about extreme sports here.
Everyone should know how to ride a bike and cycling on a road bike is easy once you practice a little. If you don't want to ride a bike with thin tires and strange handlebars you can always use a mountain bike. When it's hot outside you will love going for long tours of the countryside and you can even throw a picnic inside your backpack and stop somewhere for lunch. Just like snowboarding there is also the option to go on cycling holidays all over the world.
