Articles, Books, and Other Writing Projects
Since architecture school, where I edited the student yearbook twice, I have written about architecture, both as a consultant to architecture firms and for general publication. I seem to possess the somewhat unusual distinction of having two sets of complementary skills and experiences—those of a writer and an architect. Below are some samples of my work.
Casabella Magazine
I was honored to write a descriptive article about Gray Organschi Architecture's Common Ground School for Casabella (translated into Italian, not by me). Founded in 1928 and edited by some of the great historians and critics, Casabella is one of architecture's distinguished international journals. The article was published in Italian and isn't online, so here is the original English text, and here is a link to images of the building.
Perform: Designing for the Performing Arts, PCPA
I served as editor and writer for this book, a "coffee table" monograph of Pelli Clarke Pelli's performing arts design. It includes essays by distinguished theater designers, an interview with Cesar Pelli, Fred Clarke, and Mitchell Hirsch, and layouts on nearly twenty projects. The book was designed by Pentagram and published by Images. Starting in November of 2017, you can purchase it here.
The Yale Building Project: The First 40 Years
The Yale Building Project is one of the most distinctive parts of the Yale School of Architecture's graduate program: every year, the first-year students design and build a project in New Haven. For the 40th anniversary of the program, the school commissioned a book on its history, and I wrote articles on about 15 of the projects, mostly from the 70s and 80s. You can purchase the book here.
Mission Building: Architectural Discourse at Conservative Chrsitian Schools of Architecture
In 2008, I received a research grant from the Graham Foundation to visit and conduct interviews at a few evangelical Christian colleges that have accredited schools of architecture--Judson University in Elgin, Illinois (American Baptist Churches USA), and Andrews University in Berrian Springs, Michigan (Seventh-day Adventist Church). You can read my project description here.
The Harm A. Weber Academic Center at Judson University, Elgin, Illinois, by Short & Associates
Metropolis / Yale Constructs
In the years after graduating from architecture school, I wrote periodically for the alumni magazine, Yale Constructs. I reviewed symposia, including one on the life and work of Louis Kahn and one on the emergence of building information modelling, a technology that has transformed the way buildings are designed.
I also wrote about events outside of the school, including an enormous public meeting to discuss the future of Ground Zero, and the preservation of the Pirelli Building, Marcel Breuer's notable building on Route 95 in New Haven. My first article was published in Metropolis Magazine, on the restoration of the Yale Art + Architecture Building. I was still in school at the time.

YES! A new skirt from Deer and Doe patterns that I did thread-painting on!
I added quite a few inches to the bottom width of the front 3 panels and less to the back panels in order to create a more flared skirt. I finished with a scalloped hem.
The high waist makes it so graceful with a smooth transition from waist to hips! Often I feel the waistbands cut into the waist and cause bulging in the stomach which I hate! This is the PERFECT skirt for a high waist and no waistband!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did some free hand thread-painting of a hummingbird and hibiscus flower. I am very pleased with the way that worked out!
I love the Hawthorn pattern but I do not understand why it came out baggy in the midriff area which is not at all what happened the first two times I have made this pattern. Could it really be that making it in a rayon caused such a big difference?
I made a long sleeve version of the New Look #6935 blouse.
I think this designer organic quilting cotton is beautiful but as all quilting cottons go it was too scratchy for me. I lined it with a beautiful soft silk cotton blend and I love the feel. But I also had difficulties with this blouse. It seems that in adding sleeves they are not sitting right at the shoulder so they pull the neck apart more causing bra strap peekage which drives me nuts! I am amazed I am continually inspired to sew even with these setbacks!
So many pretty things.! The thread painting is amazing and this skirt is super flattering;) the Hawthorne does not look bad but if it pulls and sits weird it's not comfy the opposite of what you were after! And yea crazy that we keep sewing even though its such a challenge or so many challenges :) but keep sewing cause as with everything your artistic eye is sew inspiring!


topical tretinoin is absorbed systemically.
No adequate human data but reported two cases of ear defects and multiple congenital anomalies (exomphalos, hernia: protrusion of parts of organs through diaphragm">diaphragmatic hernia, heart and limb reduction defects) in two infants exposed to the drug in the 1st trimester.
No data available, unknown amounts excreted into milk.


Laws, Schmaws, Who Cares Anymore?
No one follows the laws anymore.
Stop sign, no problem, roll on through.
Red light means speed up to too many people.
This must be a time for a new snake infestation. The slithery creatures seem to dominate the news lately.
Aside from the usual cadre of snakes slithering about in Congress we are forced to deal with on a daily basis, we have the Libyan variety, and of course the infamous Bronx Zoo cobra gaining great notoriety and a Twitter account for its ability to avoid his captors. He may even replace Biden on the Democratic ticket. A smart move for Obama, I'd say.


Christmas Tree lightings and other holiday events will take place around Southern Boone this weekend.
On Friday, the annual Ashland Park Board tree lighting will take place on Broadway.
The parade to the tree lighting will begin at 6:15 p.m. at the Primary School parking lot, loading the wagons begins at 5:30 p.m. The tree lighting will be at 6:40 p.m.

Customers have asked us several times why Yocto-Visualization offers only 4 data series per graph and whether it is possible to have more. The explanation is simple: we had to choose a limit, and a maximum of 4 seemed reasonable. Nevertheless, it's rather easy to modify the application to have more series, and this week we show you how to do so.

Today, we discuss Node-RED again, as this platform is more and more popular among our customers and we recently implemented some modifications to our node-red-contrib-yoctopuce package. Here are the new features of the package.
What is the consumption of my workbench?
By Thibaut, in DIY and Measures, november 16,2018.
Electric consumption has been at the heart of the news in recent years. Being great fans of graphs and measurements, we propose a small system allowing you to follow in real time the electric consumption of a workbench. As I am new here at Yoctopuce, I was appointed guinea pig to do it my own way, while discovering Yoctopuce modules at the same time.
By mvuilleu, in Misc, november 09,2018.
Yoctopuce serial communication modules are more than simple interfaces: they are able to query and analyze autonomously the data coming from any device to then present the results in the way of a Yoctopuce sensor and/or record them in the embedded data logger. But in order to do so, you must tell the Yoctopuce module how to manage the dialog with the device. So here are a few examples as a complement to the documentation, to make this task easier.
By martinm, in Electronics, november 02,2018.
When presenting the new Yocto-Meteo-V2, we briefly mentioned that the sensors used in this module are waterproof (IP67 for the SHT35 and IPx8 for the ICP-10100). As we, at Yoctopuce, like to play, we wondered what would happen in we tried to make a Yocto-Meteo-V2 work under water.


I live in the beautiful San Diego, CA area. My favorite things are my husband, my cats, postage stamp and postcard collecting. My main postcard focus is cards with cats on them, but I love to get mail and I appreciate any kind of postcard as long as it is in good condition. Tell me why you picked the card or the story behind it- I love hearing the stories. My favorite colors are purple and blue, and I love anything animal print!
I do not drink coffee or tea, and I do not wear cosmetics. I do like lip balm and lip gloss, and anything coconut or rose scented. I have a nickel allergy so I do not appreciate jewelry of any kind. I do collect the smashed pennies on a small scale as well. I enjoy stickers and cute note cards.
I love just about any kind of music other than Rap or Heavy Metal. I have very eclectic tastes- I have over 18K songs on my iPod and that is everything from popular top 40 to show tunes to classic rock! I grew up listening to Country and Oldies (50's & 60's) and still do. I am a big fan of 80's popular music as well. My absolute favorites are Michael Jackson and Buddy Holly.
My all time TV favorite is I love Lucy. She was such a genius I could watch her all day and never get bored. Other classics I like are Little House on the Prairie, Dallas, M.A.S.H., The Brady Bunch, and the list goes on! My current favorite show is The Walking Dead. The writing is great, the effects are awesome and I just really dig the characters. Darryl Dixon (of course!) and Carol are my favorite players. I also watch Bones, Person of Interest, Sleepy Hollow and American Horror Story. I also watch a lot of Nat Geo Wild and Discovery, and am really interested in true medical stories like Emergency: Life in the E.R., Mystery Diagnosis, and vet shows like Dr. Pol and Alaska Vet Dr.Dee.. I do not watch any sports, westerns, or Kung-Fu/martial arts type movies or ANY current MTV programming. I HATE most reality shows they are just awful. What people will do on camera for money never ceases to amaze me.
I am not very crafty. I think they skipped me when handing out creativity! I can't even really draw stick figures. That being said, I do occasionally do some sewing, and I do like to do Latch Hook sometimes. I am currently doing a small kitty cat wall hanging- we'll see how long it takes! I do not care to do any kind of needle crafts as I have shaky hands. I am interested in paper crafts like collage, envelope making, stamping etc and hope to maybe give some of those a try someday. I am open to trying new crafts.
Anything cats-Big cats, little cats, tigers or tabbies I love them all! Your local scenery or attractions Birds, butterflies, and flowers Vintage or vintage inspired Any animals- From aardvarks to zebras I love them all. Marilyn Monroe, Elvis & The Beatles.
I like ad/free cards if they relate to my interests in some way or are particularly beautiful or unusual. I do not rate down for ad/free cards if they fit my interests so feel free to send them to me even if the swap says no ad cards.
I prefer my PC's sent naked unless the swap specifies otherwise. If the swap calls for them in an envelope please send them that way- I use these for trading if outside my interest areas. Thank you!
Please do not draw on or add anything to the front of the store bought PC's you send. It kind of ruins it for me and I will just throw them away.
Otherwise anything you send is a gift and I would love to receive it. Happy swapping everyone!
I am a stamp collector. If you have recent stamps from your country please use them if you can. This is the way I usually add to my collection- the stamps I get off of my own mail. I ALWAYS need postage stamps. If you have any mint or used USA that you can spare I promise I will put it to good use! Extra envelopes Stickers Extra Postcards of any kind Washi (or any other pretty) tape Thank you! Anything sent will be appreciated, and maybe I can send something from your want list. This hobby can get expensive, but it sure is fun!
I often cut out interesting photos from magazines, usually animals, B&W or interesting patterns- and I save cute used post its, tickets, business cards, beer coasters etc. I am not a scrapbooker or art journaler or collager but I will often weed out my stash and send some to people I trade with as bonuses If I see that you enjoy those things. If you are interested in a private trade let me know- I usually will trade for postcards or stickers. Sometimes I have a lot, sometimes I have a little you know how it goes!

'RHOD' Star Dr. Tiffany Moon On Being First Asian Housewife
Home / Stars / 'RHOD' Star Dr. Tiffany Moon On Being First Asian Housewife
by Lindsay Cronin Posted on March 16, 2021 at 11:09 am
Twitter | Dr. Tiffany Moon
Dr. Tiffany Moon joined host Gayle Guyardo on WFLA's BLOOM this week, where she opened up about her upbringing before looking back on her debut season of "The Real Housewives of Dallas" and discussing her career in the medical field.
After Guyardo pointed out that Dr. Moon was raised my tiger parents, the anesthesiologist confirmed the news and admitted that she's the same kind of parent to her two girls.
"That tiger gene may have been propagated into myself because now I've turned into a tiger mom for my six-year-old twins. So I guess there's a genetic component there," she shared.
Dr. Tiffany Moon Hopes To Educate On 'RHOD'
According to Dr. Moon, she feels great about her new role on "The Real Housewives of Dallas," especially after coming to the cast as the first medical doctor and the first generation Asian American to star on the series in a full-time role.
"I think that I have an interesting story and I hope to share it with others and inspire and educate," she said.
As for her first moments with her cast mates, Dr. Moon admitted to going through "some growing pains" as she attempted to establish herself amongst the group.
Dr. Tiffany Moon's Twins Want To Have Different Careers When They Grow Up
"I guess, being the new girl, which is like being the new kid at school, there's a certain amount of, I would say, not hazing, but you have to sort of demonstrate who you are and try to fit in with ladies who already know each other well. And so there's some tests and hoops you have to jump through," Dr. Moon explained.
As for her kids' futures, Dr. Moon revealed her twin girls are very different in terms of what they hope to do as women.
"My younger twin says she does want to be a doctor like mommy when she grows up but the older one, if you ask her what she wants to be right now, she says she wants to own a food truck. Her goal in life is to own a food truck. So I told her it better be a very good food truck," Dr. Moon laughed.
Dr. Tiffany Moon Is Shocked The Pandemic Has Lasted This Long
When Dr. Moon was then asked about her time working as a doctor over the past year amid the coronavirus pandemic, she admitted that she never thought the pandemic would last so long.
"It's been incredibly difficult. I can't believe it's been a year since we first had the cases of coronavirus hit the United States. If you had told me then that this was going to last a year, I think I would have purchased more wine. I thought it was going to be a sprint and it was not. It has turned out to be a marathon," she stated.
Dr. Tiffany Moon's Career Has Been Re-Energized
While Dr. Moon has certainly been busy in recent months, she said the pandemic actually invigorated her career.
"As a frontline healthcare worker, I've learned so much about myself and it's actually reinvigorated my original intent to go into medicine because I'm like, 'These are the times when people need us the most.' It really re-energized me. I'm all in," she confirmed.
To see more of Dr. Moon and her cast mates, don't miss new episodes of the fifth season of "The Real Housewives of Dallas" on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo.

On Saturday, March 18, rock 'n roll legend Chuck Berry passed away at the age of 90.
Berry got his start in music at a young age, first performing in high school. He got his more official start in 1953 when he started performing with the Johnnie Johnson Trio. Upon going solo, he achieved near immediate success with a string of singles, including "Maybellene".
With his combination of country music, blues, an electric guitar, and a certain swagger, he is often credited with creating rock and roll. His style became the template for many early rock artists and he has inspired countless more over the six decades since.
He lived a long life and continued performing live well into his eighties, though it has been more then 30 years since his last studio album. A new album was announced on Berry's 90th birthday, October 18 of last year, and got a release date of June 16 after he passed. He may be gone, but he still has new music to bring us.
Goodbye, Mr. Berry!
Songs to remember him by:
"Roll Over Beethoven"
"Sweet Little Sixteen"
"Big Boys"
Labels: Chuck Berry, R.I.P

The implementation of some features of the XL programming language makes uses of an extended state of the virtual machine. This extended state is represented by an instance of de.grogra.xl.runtime.VMXState and exists for every thread of the current Java virtual machine. It can be obtained by the method invocation VMXState.current().
The extended state provides a stack similar to the stack of the Java virtual machine. Stack frames provide storage locations for local variables, which are represented by instances of the class VMXState.Local. The stack has the possibility of accessing enclosing stack frames which is needed, for example, by nested routines (and is not possible with the stack of the Java virtual machine). Though nested routines are not specified by the XL programming language explicitly, they are needed implicitly for the implementation of non-local generator invocations, namely generator method invocations and query invocations.
Property variables (Section 7.1, "Property Variables") are read and written in the context of the current extended state.
As it will be discussed in Chapter 17, Queries, query variables (see Section 17.1, "Query Variables") have to be represented by instances of VMXState.Local. Thus, they have to be stored on the stack of the extended state.

Designed to be excellent all-purpose headers for cereals, canola, hay, forage and specialty crops, MacDon's D Series Drapers allow you to cut at significantly higher speeds and achieve greater capacity, while still delivering exceptionally uniform and fluffy windrows. This is possible thanks to their extra-wide 76.7" (1948 mm) swath opening, increased draper depth, better angling on the back sheet and the higher crop clearance of the M Series Windrower. The super robust full-featured D65 which is designed for high volume commercial operations. Both models feature MacDon's patented C-shaped cutterbar. Long-life double V-guide drapers are standard on the D65.
Available in single and double knife versions, MacDon's full-featured D65 model is designed for high acreage operations and is outfitted with heavier duty drapers, shiftable decks on certain configurations (that allow center or side delivery) and the ability to attach MacDon's HC10 Hay Conditioner (available for double knife drives up to 30'/9.1 m). For hay and forage harvesting, MacDon's optional double windrow attachment (available for double knife version headers only) allows you to lay up to 50' (15.2 m) of conditioned crop in a windrow, ideal for today's larger forage harvesters. The D65 is configured with either a 5 or 6 bat PR15 pick-up reel, both of which have been specially engineered to maintain a consistently close cutterbar to reel relationship over the entire length of the header as well as provide more effective lift and sweep of material from the cutterbar. As such, you'll experience better cutting performance, especially in tough harvesting conditions such as downed or tangled crops. For more control, the D65 comes standard with hydraulic fore-aft reel positioner and can be outfitted with performance options such as hydraulic header tilt for the ultimate harvesting package.
With the addition of MacDon's HC10 Hay Conditioner, D65 headers become high performance hay and forage harvesting machines. If you're cutting for one of today's large forage harvesters, MacDon's optional double windrow attachment (available for double knife units) lets you lay up to 50' (15.2 m) of conditioned crop in a single windrow.


Village Drama against Malaria used Cambodian drama, art, music workshops and village concerts to mobilise rural communities to eliminate malaria.
In June 2016, the Village Drama Against Malaria initiative held its first performance in O Treng (Reed River), a remote rural Cambodian village that suffers from high incidents of malaria. Over two hundred people, more than half the village, attended the performance, which featured five village singers and primary school children dressed as mosquitoes singing a song about malaria. The project then ran for three months and visited twenty villages in Battambang province, targeting those with the most malaria.
The project was funded by a Wellcome Trust Provision for Public Engagement award. It was organised by the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) community engagement team, and Dr Chan Davoeung, head of malaria in Battambang province, with support from MORU Cambodia Targeted Malaria Elimination (TME) team members Rupam Tripura and Tom Peto.
Before the project began Tom Peto and Rupam Tripura from MORU met with ten different village leaders in rural areas of Cambodia to discuss the sort of entertainment that villagers would enjoy and to seek advice from village leaders on what was popular. Following these consultations, and having tried other mediums like video screenings in the past, the medium of drama was chosen.
So began an initiative that has now engaged six villages where MORU is running the TME study and a further fourteen located in forest regions of the Samlout district in Battambang province. These villages were selected from among 49 villages in the district based on their high malaria incidence.

At each of the locations a local drama group worked with the local health department to create scripts relevant to the villages. Prior to each performance, a two-day workshop was held at the school with young people from the village to gather local stories about malaria and give local people the confidence and skills needed to perform on stage. All villagers and local authorities were then invited on the third day for a performance with music, karaoke, short health talks, games, and drama.
The aim of the project was to explore the effectiveness and feasibility of using local drama and arts to creatively engage and empower rural communities to understand and support malaria control and elimination. The three key messages of the drama were to encourage people to prevent mosquito bites by using insecticide treated nets, to get early diagnosis and treatment from the village malaria workers, and to raise awareness about the risk of malaria in local forests.
The project engaged with all villagers across age, gender and employment but with a specific aim towards targeting forest workers (who are mainly young men) and mobile and migrant populations. These two groups are most at risk of malaria and they are also the hardest to reach population. A full evaluation report, coming soon, will give a more detailed breakdown of the successes in these areas.
The project took place from June to September which coincided with the rainy season. Due to poor infrastructure, roads became muddy and impossible to drive on during this period and bridges connecting villages were prone to collapse. This caused significant disruption to travel plans meaning the team could not proceed as scheduled and that a degree of flexibility had to be built into the plans. There was also an added time pressure in having to visit twenty villages in such a short time period.
The team had a limited budget with only a small truck to transport everything including team members, props, clothes, a canopy, the stage and more. This created extra work for the team and resilience was needed, especially considering there was often no proper place for the team to stay. At the majority of locations team members stayed under the pagoda which is an open area, and slept under the mosquito bed nets.
In terms of evaluation, the language barrier was the most important challenge. We could not find anyone with sufficient training to conduct the interviews in Khmer, the language spoken in most of the villages, so our evaluators from Bangkok went in to conduct the interviews in Khmer with help of a translator.
Despite these challenges the project was deemed a success. We saw a high participation rate in all twenty villages with an average of 66% of village inhabitants participating. Interviews with villagers also showed an improved knowledge of malaria and increased motivation to eliminate it.
We established trust and good relationship with local authorities, local leaders, local healthcare staff, village malaria workers and villagers which not only enhanced this project but will make it easier to explain the purpose of community engagement and malaria studies in these regions in the future.

In Transcarpathia, in the village of Bushtyno, a farmer Vladislav Sabadosh holds 11 buffaloes and says that the animals not only provide humans with nutritious milk but also help to protect nature, wrote "Agro-Center".
The man started to work with buffaloes back in 2010 when he bought his first animal. His family got tired of buying milk and decided to get a cow and a buffalo. His first buffalo farmer got from a German ecologist Michel Jacobi, who is known for his work in order to protect the population of Transcarpathian buffaloes.
To make sure that buffaloes won't be approached by cows and other guests, the pasture is equipped with a special fence under voltage. Animals in the pasture have no restrictions. They spend all the time outdoors if weather conditions are suitable. When the weather is bad or cold they stay in a barn.
The farmer doesn't milk female buffaloes as the calves need it. Buffaloes are prideful but mostly calm animals. Sometimes they even let me pat them. They can recognize their owner by smell. One doesn't need to call the animals, they obediently approach the farmer on their own.
It is easy to take care of buffaloes. They eat everything cows do – hay, corn, etc. Since they have better immunity than other animals, infectious diseases are not really dangerous for them.
The farmer said that his business doesn't give income yet. There's an advantage – each year he receives a dotation. These funds allow the man to buy fodder for the winter. However, there is not enough money to expand the herd or hire more workers.


When you start a new job, how do you know the appropriate behavior? How do you know the best way to communicate? Adam Navis and Liz Waid share advice for learning work culture.
Imagine this situation. You studied very hard in school. Now you have finished. You dreamed of getting a good job in the United States. Finally, your dream came true. It is your first day of work. Now, you are walking into your work place on the first day. You see your supervisor - the person who will be your boss and tell you what to do. Your supervisor reaches out a hand. Suddenly you are not sure what to do! Should you reach out your hand too? Should you say something or wait for your supervisor to speak first? What should you do?
Today's Spotlight is on work culture. Each work place has its own culture. This culture guides the way supervisors and employees talk to each other. The values of a company influence a workplace culture. The culture of the country where you work can also influence work culture. Some people may move to a new country to take a new job. They may not know what to expect in a new culture. It can be difficult to know the right behavior in new situations. It can even be difficult to know the best way to communicate. In today's program we share a few things people can do to learn the culture at their work place.
Immihelp is a website particularly for people living in the US. But this idea is true no matter where in the world people work and live. Every work culture is different. So it is difficult to make or follow an exact list of rules that helps in every situation. However, there are some general methods people can follow to learn the culture of a work place. This advice can be helpful for any person starting a job. This advice may also be helpful to people who are experiencing problems at their current job.
Everyone who works should know the rules. When you begin working at any job, you can ask for the employee manual. Most work places make this list of rules. Read through the rules. They should tell you rules about taking holidays or vacation, policies about using the computer, and other helpful rules.
An employee manual will also tell the dress code. The dress code tells what clothes are good to wear at that work place. Some work places require employees to wear a uniform. Others require employees to wear formal clothes, and others do not require any special clothes at all.
A written rule guide is very helpful. But many work culture rules are not written. One good way to learn a work culture is to observe your co-workers, the people that you work with. For example, observe how people greet each other. Is it different when a boss greets an employee? What happens when co-workers greet each other? It can be helpful to watch these greetings and then use them yourself.
You can also learn other social rules from observation. For example, different cultures have different rules about how close to stand to another person. The website skillsconnect is for immigrants finding jobs in Canada. They write this advice on their website.
Kumar explains that while you are all eating a meal, you can talk about things other than work. You can talk about a person's family or the things they are interested in. It is also a chance to ask about the culture you are in, and to share information about your own culture. Most of all, it is a chance to build a personal relationship.
"If you are not sure about something at your work, do not act like you know it. Admit it honestly and go ask the right person. Concentrate on key areas of knowledge. Develop your skills accordingly. Do not act like you know everything. Sooner or later, people will discover that you do not know. And that may negatively affect your performance."
There can be many things to learn and remember when you start a new job. In the beginning, it can be difficult. But if you keep a positive attitude and try, you will do well.
The writer of this program was Liz Waid. The producer was Mark Drenth. The voices you heard were from the United States. All quotes were adapted for this program and voiced by Spotlight. You can listen to this program again, and read it, on the internet at www.radioenglish.net. This program is called, 'Work Culture'.
Do you have a job? How did you know the right behavior for your job?
the value of one company includes the work culture even between two companys pay the same salary, or company A pays higher than company B, you still choose A, because you like the work culture in company A.
Thank spotlight for an interesting topics.
Good idea that have lunch with other co-workers can make closer each others and we can talk each others in a privately way.
I am working now at government educational institute. And we have a work culture. And some dress code. For example, I can't come to work in shorts. We communicate with teachers. And we have to use a high level of our language. And we must be friendly with teachers and we need to give them a correct and professional answers. I can describe an environment in our workplace as a friendly, a little like in family. We are trying to help each other.
I dont know exactly what to do in a new work place and im not hesitate to ask a right person give a right answer what i should do . Because we cannot the right thing to do we need to ask . The right things to do in a old place are not mean right things in a new place . And i think the cuture of company is very important . We need to know clearly as much as possible before we can go to work . When we know detail about cuture company we can be easy to join in the enviroment .Once we joined into the company , we can contribute your talent , knowledge , skills. After that we will develop better . Its a success way.
Although I worked at many companies,I still felt shy meeting new colleague in new working enviroment at the first working day.I met some difficulty.I didn't know how work culture was at new place.I had to learn to catch new job myself and from other and how to integrate working enviroment.Everything was strange to me.If I met a kind colleague,he/she was available to guide my job enthusiasticly,I would feel happy and continue working here.If not,I might felt boring and alone.They could like you or not.So It was important to learn how to integrate working community.
Thank spotlight for an interesting topics. I don't know exactly what to do in a new work place.
Now I'm a second-year student at university, so I don't know much about culture work. This program is very useful for me. It have brought for me good advice for my job in my future.

Thank you Spotlight for the video.
Getting familiar in the culture is very necessary for people to adapt to their life and work. Not only for the work culture, people need to get used to with the environment which they are involved in to. I am a student and I moved from another country to live in U.S., I try my best to get access with people there. Whenever you are comfortable with the culture, you are on the right way to live, to work and develope.
When I was studying in Germany, that was a time I had studied manything the work culture in new country. It is the new place I have never known.
I felt strange anything, even though, I have prepared manything that I guess.
In the first morning, I woke up early and went to the Hospital's Cantin to enjoy breakfirst. I observered around that place, nobody had come, I saw the two or three tables were still empty with the light was turned on, I chose one and sat down.
Then I saw some patients with whelchair and crutches, they went to the table which I was sitting, They told to each other in German language. I did not undrerstand what they tell.
Next, the staff of the cantin came to talk to me.
dear sir, this place is a special place for handicap patients.
I was sorry and left there immediately.
And I chose the another table not far from there, I looked at those tables and recognizes that, those tables there were a hooks to hang the crutches and the hats.
So, you should remenber, when you go some where maybe it is your country or another country, to be avoided the mistaking, you should ask some people there, what you can do what you cannot do.
You shoud remember each place, there is a diffirent culture.
I did write a few manuals for people involved in Distance Learning with the use of Digital Platforms like pupils, teachers, tutors and evaluators.
It depends on your new company.
If your corporation and your boss is a multi-nation organization, you will need to learn about this culture as well as behavior. It very different from the local company.
Come to the office earlier than the beginning working hours, and get used to with the workplace environment. Always show your active and positive behavior to your colleagues and your boss. Do not hesitate to ask any questions or problems related to your work.


In the spirit of the holiday, we figured we'd hit you with a cool product that's not Lexus-related. It's Patrick Sung's new "Universal Packaging System," the coolest form of cardboard we've ever seen.
The design features both perpendicular and diagonal creases, to allow the cardboard sheets to conform to traditionally and abnormally-shaped objects, while preserving structural integrity. Contortional versatility allows UPS to be shipped in sheet form.
Less material means fewer delivery runs to retailers, lower shipping costs for buyers, and less material in landfills for the rest of us. Bravo, Patrick Sung.
See You Tomorrow: Earth Day!
Just wanted to give you a head's up regarding our numerous Earth Day activities tomorrow.
Roxanne Murray has planned an eco-friendly workshop for our Service Department. All hybrid vehicles will be sold at Dealer Invoice, and all guests that buy a vehicle will receive a potted tree. We'll have hybrids shown at 2 local earth-day events: Cisco & Saratoga High School.
There will be a Lexus Earth Day work shop tomorrow, April 22, 2010, from 8:00am to 1:00pm in our Service lounge area. Eco-consultants from Green Irene/Cody Associates will be present to give guests ideas on environmentally friendly living. Please drop by to welcome our guests and ask any questions you may have.
Here's one for enthusiasts, the extremely-limited ISC350 F-Sport. This car just happens to be black-on-black.
Eddie Ghanim introduces us to the brand-new, limited production ISC 350 F-Sport. The car features every F-Sport performance accessory currently available from out parts department, special trim options, and a numbered, commemorative plaque.
This NYK poster may appear a vestige of the past, but the company is anything but long-in-the-tooth. Last week NYK announced they would be working with several Japanese auto manufacturers, including Lexus and Toyota, to implement RFID tracking on vehicles throughout the transfer process from the factory to dealerships.
This end will be accomplished by affixing stickers that look like the image on the right to individual vehicles. The stickers will be scanned in an automated process at each step along the supply chain. NYK plans to roll out the plan by 2013.
With the SmartDrive system in place, those first few moments in the service drive are now much more efficient, organized, friendly and enjoyable — resulting in increased satisfaction scores, positive comments, and happy customer faces every day. McGrath Lexus has earned the 2007 Pursuit of Innovation Central Area First Place Award for daring to dream big and setting a new standard for personalization of the service experience.
Think of RFID will speed the process of you accepting the delivery of your new Lexus the way smart keys did the process of unlocking and entering your car.
We are thrilled to hear the news.

It was Kierkegaard who observed that we can only understand life backwards, but can only live it forwards. In a way Harry Patch, the last British Army survivor of World War I, was the embodiment of this paradox. His 111 years were dominated and defined by just 4 months of his life, that took place 9 decades ago. For most of those decades he kept his memories and experiences to himself. Only recently, as he outlived not only his contemporaries but also the next generation (both of his children pre-deceased him) did he begin to talk, aware that he was one of the last links with an otherwise lost age. Simply by dint of being a survivor - continuing on and on seemingly unstoppably - his thoughts and feelings assumed more and more importance as he became a relic of an earlier age.
As usual the reporting of his funeral veered towards sloppy whenever the chance of a good headline demanded it; I saw a couple of reports describing Patch as 'the last World War I veteran'. He wasn't; Claude Choules, who served in the Navy and now lives in Australia, is the last British veteran, and there is an American aged 108 and a Canadian now 109. Poland's oldest man, Józef Kowalski, also 109, joined up after Armistice Day but before the Treaty of Versailles; thereby managing on a technicality to avoid being the fourth official last survivor. Harry Patch's momentous last was that he was the last to experience the trenches: the 'last Tommy' as a documentary not too long ago described him. Living through three centuries is unusual enough; later in life Patch narrowly avoided being struck by lightning and in World War II, past the age of conscription, faced more dangers as a fireman.
In the final analysis, he did not - and arguably could not - say anything much more profound than to state the belief that we must never forget. Yet, although this is not the day to say it, we will forget, and relatively quickly too. In 200 years' time, World War I will be to our descendants as the Napoleonic Wars seem to us - something you see pictures of people in funny clothes doing, distanced into the tapestry of the past, distilled into historical facts and figures. It won't be real, once the people who remember the people who were there are also dead. That's as unpalatable a truth as the fact that a quarter of a million men were killed at Passchendaele; but it is a truth, nonetheless.
Harry Patch's funeral took place today in Wells Cathedral. On the M4 this afternoon I saw a small white van with the logo 'Wells Cathedral Stonemasons' emblazoned across the back windows, beetling across the bridge. I overtook the van, not paying much attention to the purple sky and low clouds that backlit the Bristol Channel. At the time, I was in a hurry to get home. It was only as I reached Cardiff that I reflected that I'd been driving far too fast in the torrential rain, and should have slowed down.
Patch urged us not to forget, but the more pertinent issue is, have we learnt much? The easy answer, that we haven't, is not because we don't want to stop conflicts and prevent senseless catastrophes. It's because we can't understand life as we're living it; but only when we look back on it.

Objective: Although women's breast cancer affects both women and their male partners, as well as their relationships, few interventions have been developed to work with couples confronting breast cancer. The current investigation presents the pilot results from a new couple-based intervention program for breast cancer that teaches couples how to minimize negative effects and maximize positive functioning during this difficult time. Method: In this pilot study, 14 couples in which the wife had early stage breast cancer were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment conditions: Couple-based relationship enhancement (RE) or treatment-as-usual (TAU). Results: The results from this study suggest that compared with couples receiving treatment-as-usual, both women and men in the RE condition experienced improved functioning on individual psychological variables as well as relationship functioning at posttest and 1-year follow-up. In addition, women in RE show fewer medical symptoms at both time periods. Conclusions: In this pilot study, the couple-based intervention, RE, has shown promise in improving individual, medical, and relationship functioning for couples in which the woman is facing breast cancer, and therefore merits further investigation on a larger scale.

Four Said to Die in Freezing Rockaway Building
November 9, 2012 November 20, 2012 CycAdmin3Hurricane Sandy / New York-USA / News-USA / United States
The 711 Seagirt complex, buildings A through D (c) Benepe
By Jen Benepe. Minda Aguhob and Tony Moy also reported for this story.
711 SEAGIRT LEFT UNTENDED, 4 RESIDENTS SAID TO HAVE DIED
CYCLIST GROUPS HELP RECOVERY FOR RESIDENTS WITHOUT HEAT, ELECTRICITY, WATER FOR 10 DAYS
Misery is rising in a large building in the Far Rockaways, and many residents are either unaccounted for, or not responding to visits to their doors.
Unofficial reports by neighbors said that four residents in the 900-unit building have died since Hurricane Sandy, including a couple who expired from carbon monoxide poisoning after using their oven to stay warm. All of the deaths occurred in the first week after the storm.
The building and its residents have been plunged into darkness since the catastrophic storm touched the shoreline more than 10 days ago, and none of them have had electricity, running water, or heat since then, meaning many of the residents who are elderly have been and continue to be subject to real danger.
Yesterday, Thursday, the Red Cross had deposited some food donations in the lobby, but so far, 10 days after the building was plunged into cold darkness, no government or large care agency had visited residents apartments to see if they were even still alive.
The dire straits of the building occupants and the fear that more will die behind closed doors in its 25 floors, came to light as a cycling-related advocacy group spent its 10th day in the Rockaways reaching out to residents affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Though the deaths could not be confirmed by Ellen Barakove, the city's Medical Examiner, resident Lisa Roberts said she saw one person being taken out in a covered stretcher, and knew of the other three through building maintenance workers. Another resident, Mariana Beeghly, confirmed the deaths.
The complex is literally several hundred feet from the Long Island border, and ambulances could have gone there, but a man who answered the phone at the Nassau County medical examiner's office refused to provide any information or his name to CI. According to Baracove, Nassau County has no law requiring public reporting of deaths.
Building facility personnel denied that anyone had died in the building and said all had been accounted for.
Barakove did however confirm the death of William McKeon, 78, who suffered blunt trauma to the head when
A community group brought provisions up to all the floors on Thursday, Nov 8 (c) Benepe
he plunged down the unlighted stairway at 106-20 Shorefront Parkway, in a different section of the Rockaways.
Several elderly residents in the building depend on oxygen tanks to stay alive, and with no communication with the upper floors of the building for the first 8 days or so, the possibility of people dying was magnified.
The lobby at 711 Seagirt was a scene of constant ebb and flow of residents, care workers, and on Friday, the National Guard and EMT personnel, making it hard to discern how the building management would know whom in the building could not be accounted for.
As temperatures dipped down into the 30's since Wednesday, hypothermia and lack of food and water could easily have been reasons for anyone to die, as well as lack of access to medical care, communications, and prescription drugs.

Just about everyone's cell phone went dead days ago, and no one has been by to help them charge it –except for one van for an hour, said a resident.
And though most of the people we spoke to acknowledged that they had been asked to evacuate by the city, or knew of existing shelters miles away, each one had a reason not to leave their apartments. For one, shelters in Queens are situated about 8 miles from the complex.
Approximately 35 to 50 percent of the residents are elderly, infirm or disabled, and even if they had cell or telephone power, it is unlikely they could ring the Mayor's office to ask for help: Perhaps as many do not even speak English, with Russian and Spanish being the primary cultural origins of the seniors.
Though the city has language options on its 311 line, none of the homebound residents had cell phones after 24 hours, and calls to have endless announcements before connecting to a live person, resulting in an approximate 10 minute wait. Interviews with some of the elderly in the building revealed that fear and different cultural norms prevented them from moving to shelters.
On Friday morning Minda Aguhob, a member of a spontaneous advocacy group created by cyclist Ray Alba, the Hurricane Sandy Relief Volunteer Group, tweeted Mayor Michael Bloomberg with a simple message, "the situation at 711 Seagirt is dire."
Members of the group organized since last Tuesday to come to the far end of Queens to help out with the recovery, which eventually led to their discovery that the building's residents had been largely ignored by the agencies flooding the Rockaways since Hurricane Sandy.
Another clue was a guerilla video made by another recovery group called Bravo of their door-to-door canvassing efforts on the north side. That video has since been removed from public view on the Internet.
On Thursday afternoon, Michael DellaVecchia, leader of yet another recovery team, the Far Rockaway Emergency Workers, had seen the

guerilla video and jumped into his car with Dmitry Belov, a friend who speaks Russian, and headed to New York to help.
That night armed with flashlights in the pitch black, they went door-to-door at 711 Seagirt offering food and water, and found that many of the people had not been visited by any caretakers, and were freezing in their apartments.
DellaVecchia walked up and down more than 20 flights of stairs with supplies, over and over again until he had reached all he could, but he said many residents had either left, or were not answering. With a Russian interpreter they shouted, "Food and water, grandpa and grandma."
After DellaVecchia returned to Philadelphia, today Aguhob and Tony Moy traveled with this journalist to learn how many people may have been affected at 711 Seagirt and a nearby building 261 13 Beach. Their concern–fatalities, and near death existences behind closed doors.
National Guard were deployed to the building after a video made by the Bravo group showed that people had been neglected since Oct. 30 (c) Benepe
Conditions at the building have gone from bad to worse since power was lost. Water for flushing toilets and doing dishes can only be fetched by walking several blocks south of the building to an emergency water dispensary, said Doreen Cannon, 42, who had two teenaged children to worry about.
Most of the residents were walking up to 25 flights to take water to their apartments. Bottled water for drinking had been dropped off by community groups, but was locked in a side room even though it should have been there for tenants to use at any time, said several residents.
Six bottles were to be rationed per day per apartment said Bernard Crayton and Femi Johnson, maintenance workers, who defended management's policy should the electrical problems persist through Thanksgiving, more than two weeks from now. "What would happen if we run out of water by then?" he asked.
But some estimates put the resumption of energy more than 6 weeks away , closer to the middle of December.

Today was also the first day that the building received help from large government agencies, when a Bronx-based unit of the National Guard descended on the building, going door-to-door looking for distressed residents.
Most of the recovery aid had been rushed to the other end of the peninsula after a devastating fire totaled 80 homes in the Breezy Point section, and Sandy ripped up homes and destroyed boardwalks.
That's the location that Governor Andrew Cuomo toured, along with Mayor Bloomberg who compared the scene to an apocalyptic post-World War II.
Emergency vehicles were parked outside 711 Seagirt today, but indoors it was the grass roots organizers like Sydney Lombardi of the Jewish Association of the Aged that were feeding the residents with warm spaghetti being dished out from aluminum trays.
Resident Lisa Roberts spoke to Minda Aguhob about the building conditions and water rationing
Lombardi told CI that they have been helping the residents since last Wednesday, over 7 days, a fact confirmed by tenants.
Another local community group, Kings Bay Y, who came to the building after the guerrilla video made the rounds, was dishing out food, and doing reconnaissance work throughout the building.
Inside the building lobby residents wrapped in layers of coats socialized and waited for food, water, batteries and other supplies. Some were just enjoying milling about in the action rather than freezing in their apartments upstairs.
We followed some of the volunteers up into the "D" building as they went to check on residents and deliver sandwiches. Among them were three people representing Christian organizations from as far away as Margate, FL., a ministry in Patchogue, LI., and a children's organization in the New York area.
Four people who represented the Kings Bay Y were banging on doors and calling out in Russian and English. The building had been converted from a senior center to a Mitchell Lama building, then was bought out some years ago by the current owners Sarasota & Gold LLC. Many of the older residents harked back to the time when the building housed seniors only.
On several of the walls and stairways someone had spray painted their unquotable opinion of the owners and of FEMA.

We also followed a group of FEMA and National Guard. One FEMA worker who had traveled from Indianapolis, IN, said they had only received a 20 percent response rate as they made their way up through the building. Doors with no response were marked with a "no response," tape, and those with people answering had a cross marked with tape.
A bad smell—of something rotting permeated the hallway of the 10th Floor. "We can tell when it's a rotting body," said a National Guard, "and that's not it."
But neither FEMA nor National Guard are allowed to break down a door when the tenant does not answer. If they are dying inside and unable to answer? "There is nothing we can do," said the FEMA worker.
Only Fire and Police Department officials can enter private apartments, but the existence of a real emergency has to be established.
Michael Richards, 53, who answered his door on the 11th floor said he was afraid to leave his apartment because he feared he would be robbed. He said for medical reasons he was unable to walk up and down the stairs, and had run out of his pain medication.

On the 13th floor, neighbors Ron Griffith, 74, and Maria Burgos, 85 said they would never go to a shelter. "I have never been to one, so I am not going to go now," said Griffith. Neither have been able to make the descent to the lobby for physical reasons.
When Jessica Gambetta, Joey Curcio, and Kristina Foster learned the two friends had no food, they came around the corner of the hallway and passed out their last sandwiches.
"God bless," said Curcio who works for the Abundant Life Christian Center.
Back downstairs, resident Doreen Cannon had made a large pot of Jamaican-style chicken soup that she had brought down from the third floor, and she offered it to the room of FEMA and National Guard workers, most of them handsome men in their 20's.
Her daughter Serena Lockiby, a tall 13-year-old, said it was so cold at night getting into bed was "like lying between two sheets of ice." During the day she said, "You have to put
Scene in lobby was cross between party, chaos, and freezing misery (c) Benepe
on layers and layers and layers," to stay warm.
Her brother Dylan Woodhouse, 14, was selected as the family member to go fetch water down the block each day, but Serena had to do the cooking and wash the dishes.
"We cook in the dark with flashlights," said her mother with a smile. as she handed another cup of soup to a soldier dressed in grey camouflage fatigues and big army boots.
Meanwhile, in the main corridor of the building, an organizer from Kings Bay Y was calling out apartment numbers to pass out batteries and other essential supplies. Only about 20 of the building's 900 residents were there to receive them.
Besides the lack of water and the extreme cold, the worst problem for residents they said was being cut off from the outside world. All have lost phone cell use, and the big charging centers being announced with fanfare by the Chairman of AT&T at one of the Mayor's press conferences have not materialized here.

"We need them to come here for two or three hours at 10 in the morning," said Judith Branch whose daughter Tiffany joked around with her friend Ashanti Johnson.
"Do you have heat?" said Tiffany to the reporter. "Yes," was the answer. "Can I come home with you?" she asked. Hooking my arm with hers like Judy Garland about to head out on the Yellow Brick Road she said, "Let's go."
DOWN THE BLOCK–MORE MISERY AND BUREAUCRACY
We got back in the car, and headed off to 261 13 Beach, and as we arrived found the owner Paul Alizio trying to convince FEMA workers not to remove the building's only source of heat and electricity, a FEMA generator that had been providing power to the 344-unit building.
Alizio manages six buildings in the area, and has only been able to obtain private generators for two buildings he said. " I am trying to take care
National Guard outside the building getting ready to mobilize. 900 apartments doors were banged on and marked on Thursday (c) Benepe
of 900 families," said Alizio, as workers wrapped up the wiring that once connected the generator to the side of the building.
'This is a matter of humanity, not bureaucracy," the reporter said to the workers, crossing the line between reporting and becoming involved. 'We're just grunts," replied the workers.
In the ensuing half hour, calls were made to 911 who referred the caller to 311, followed by 10 minutes of endless announcements about gas rationing and alternate side parking, as residents looked on, and wondered aloud about being cold that night.
The reporter finally got through to the media group of the Mayor's Office, and was told to "write an email." She wrote an email–no answer. Finally after getting through to 311, the man on the other end asked if there was an emergency. If not "there is nothing I can do but switch you to FEMA."
After holding on for FEMA for 15 minutes, the phone went dead: they had hung up. The FEMA men were taking the generator. No one was helping. As it grew darker and colder, one resident was wheeled out of the building by New York Fire Department emergency workers. Soon, all of the residents sitting outside headed back into the building. "Good night," they said as they went into the dark lobby.
As we made our way home, we traveled towards the end of the peninsula that has received so much media and political attention.
Blocks and blocks went by of tall buildings, looking dark and cold, with no indication of how the lives behind the windows were doing. The city-owned NYCHA buildings had lights. Most other buildings did not. Were they all in the same predicament as 711 Seagirt?
As darkness came on 92 Beach, no lights came on in any house–there is still no electricity. (c) Benepe
Once we arrived at the main beach front we saw a street filled with sand, lit by floodlights. An American flag fluttered in the closing darkness where the beach used to be. Above, and far onto the water's horizon, a lone star showed her bright light. In front of a dark building, a woman called her friend and tried to find her. A cop car passed.
A pile of debris heaped on the corner gave no hint of what the original structure used to be.

XPO Logistics CEO says company is in the middle of the 'e-comm boom'
"In our logistics business, we are squarely in the middle of this massive e-commerce boom," XPO Logistics CEO Brad Jacobs said in a "Mad Money" interview after the company announced a spinoff.
XPO Logistics is looking to separate its warehousing business from the transportation segment in an effort to unlock value that's "trapped inside this conglomerate structure."
The spinoff is expected to go into effect in the second half of 2021.
The online shopping craze has delivered a windfall for the shipping industry, and global warehouse providers such as XPO Logistics are reaping benefits, CEO Brad Jacobs told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday.
"In our logistics business, we are squarely in the middle of this massive e-commerce boom," he said in a "Mad Money" interview.
XPO Logistics reports e-commerce to be its fastest-growing vertical. Internet commerce has powered a warehouse expansion in the industry, leading to 70 million square feet of storage space to be added this year alone, with still more room for growth.
XPO Logistics says it is the largest provider of last-mile services for heavy goods in the U.S.
In the U.S., Black Friday online shopping spiked 22% to a record $9 billion and Cyber Monday saw a record $10.8 billion spent online in one day, according to Adobe.
"We have the largest outsourced e-comm fulfillment platform in all of Europe, we're very big in omnichannel, we're huge in reverse logistics, and we have a big presence in cold chain," Jacobs said. "So, all of the hottest parts of supply chain powered by this e-comm boom, we're right in the middle of that."
The company, which announced Wednesday that it would separate its logistics and transportation businesses from one another, reported bringing in $1.58 billion in its logistics business in its most recent quarter. That figure was up 4.6% from a year ago.
While the coronavirus pandemic affected other areas of XPO Logistics' operations, demand for e-commerce and other consumer-related verticals produced $77 million in operating income, the company said, up from $61 million in the year-ago quarter.
XPO Logistics, which Wall Street values to be worth $10.1 billion, plans to spin off its warehousing and logistics business into a separate publicly traded company. The new company, which has about 200 million square feet of warehousing capacity, will focus on e-commerce fulfillment. The split is expected to come in the second half of 2021.
The move to split the companies comes after management sought ways to unlock value that Jacobs said is "trapped inside this conglomerate structure."
The company's goal is to simplify the business and make it more attractive on the market to investors, in comparison to competitors such as DHL, Old Dominion and DSV.
"By separating into two global segments — two separate public trading companies, two real powerhouses — leaders in logistics and transportation, we've got two strong companies that are really easy to understand," Jacobs said.
Shares of XPO Logistics slipped 0.37% Wednesday to $110.01 at the close. In the after-hours, the stock is up 1.63% after the announcement of the split.
The stock is up 38% year to date.

It's time for more adventures in Blind Wine! Join us in the cellar as we sip, blindly, ten Colorado wines and do our best to suss out notes, grapes, and styles in each bottle. Come show us what you know. Don't worry if you're a novice, we're here to help! We can all learn together.


"Lord, there is none beside thee to help."(2 Chron. 14:11 R. V.)Remind God of His entire responsibility. "There is none beside thee to help." The odds against Asa were enormous. There was a million of men in arms against him, besides three hundred chariots. It seemed impossible to hold his own against that vast multitude. There were no allies who would come to his help; his only hope, therefore, was in God. It may be that your difficulties have been allowed to come to so alarming a pitch that you may be compelled to renounce all creature aid, to which in lesser trials you have had recourse, and cast yourself back on your Almighty Friend.Put God between yourself and the foe. To Asa's faith, Jehovah seemed to stand between the might of Zerah and himself, as one who had no strength. Nor was he mistaken. We are told that the Ethiopians were destroyed before the Lord and before His host, as though celestial combatants flung themselves against the foe in Israel's behalf, and put the large host to rout, so that Israel had only to follow up and gather the spoil. Our God is Jehovah of hosts, who can summon unexpected reinforcements at any moment to aid His people. Believe that He is there between you and your difficulty, and what baffles you will flee before Him, as clouds before the gale. – F. B. Meyer.

Criteria Documents
Current Intelligence Bulletins
Organic solvents are carbon-based substances capable of dissolving or dispersing one or more other substances.
Organic solvents can be carcinogens, reproductive hazards, and neurotoxins. Carcinogenic organic solvents include benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and trichloroethylene. Organic solvents recognized as reproductive hazards include 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-methoxyethanol, and methyl chloride. Organic solvents recognized as neurotoxins include n-hexane, tetrachloroethylene, and toluene. Many classes of chemicals are used as organic solvents, including aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, amines, esters, ethers, ketones, and nitrated or chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Organic solvents are used in many industries. They are used in paints, varnishes, lacquers, adhesives, glues, and in degreasing and cleaning agents, and in the production of dyes, polymers, plastics, textiles, printing inks, agricultural products, and pharmaceuticals. Millions of U.S. workers are exposed to organic solvents. The level of exposure depends upon the dose, duration, and work being done.
NIOSH recommends that employers use Hierarchy of Controls to prevent injuries. If you work in an industry that uses organic solvents, please read chemical labels and the accompanying Safety Data Sheets for hazard information. Visit NIOSH's page on Managing Chemical Safety in the Workplace to learn more about controlling chemical workplace exposures.
The following resources provide information about occupational exposure to organic solvents.
The NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards (NPG) helps workers, employers, and occupational health professionals recognize and control workplace chemical hazards.
