Consuming the Pain of the "Other" Through Media Images

The ways that non-Western victims of violence and poverty are portrayed in the news is problematic. For example, on the 6th of October this year, The New York Times had an above-the-fold image of migrants on its front page. The image was of several dead and dying African migrants on a boat and, troubling as this may be, the image was not an anomaly. Consider the images we have recently seen from Syria — from the drowned child on the beach to the dazed child covered in dust pulled out of a bombed building. Social scientists explains how the choice to use these kinds of images is neither an objective nor an accidental process.
News images are rarely meant to teach us something new, rather, they are meant to reaffirm what we already know while tugging at our heartstrings. Nowhere is this more evident than during instances of instability and violence in the Global South. Even in death and suffering, non-Western victims are denied their privacy; their pain is meant to be consumed by the audience while reaffirming real and symbolic differences.

Images of pain and suffering are less about an increase in "bad" things happening and more about how we understand the consumption of pain, suffering, and death of victims that are "Other." They allow us to consume the pain of others from the comfort of our living rooms while reminding us of how "good" we have it.

In the case of Africa and Africans especially, the use of images has a long and troubled history. Research continually shows that images of Africans are often steeped in stereotypes of Africans as simplistic, tribal, "noble savages," and primitive.

The defining images of 1960s Africa are of starving Biafran children. The image of the 1990s is that of a vulture stalking an emaciated Sudanese child near the village of Ayod in South Sudan by Kevin Carter. Such images often reaffirm stereotypes of the continent and its peoples as 'starving', 'chaotic', or 'sick'. This history makes it possible to plaster images of dead and dying migrants on a boat across the front page of an American newspaper with little to no discussion of the structural factors leading to their deaths.

E-commerce — Introducing WhatsApp Business For Marketing
Leave a Comment	/ Best Business Idea, Ecommerce
It will interest you to know that a lot of social networks started off focusing on personal relationships and connections centering around lifestyles. But, companies like Snapchat Facebook, Instagram and Twitter discovered the value of inviting businesses and brands to participate in their social networks to connect them with clients.
WhatsApp has recently joined in by offering WhatsApp Business —a free application for small business owners and startup founders that can be used on Android and iOS mobile devices. The app provides a means to communicate and engage with customers in a direct, personal and targeted way.
In addition, WhatsApp Business offers two kinds of accounts for companies that suit different needs. The regular business account assists in separating personal and work messages while offering a convenient way to be responsive to customers. Features also include automated greeting and away messages. This application does require a separate SIM or phone number if you want to have both a personal and WhatsApp Business account.
Developing companies may want to consider the WhatsApp Business API account developed for larger businesses. This pay-to-use platform allows for multiple users, offering opportunities for both sales and customer service teams to engage with clients.
The following are few reasons why you should use WhatsApp Business for your enterprise:
Analytics To Help Understand Your Customers
There are few options that offer a means to monitor key metrics about customers. The WhatsApp Business API product delivers analytics on the number of messages sent and delivered from certain phone numbers. Other metrics include the number of messages that selected phone numbers received from recipients. You will also be able to remain on top of the total estimated amount spent on messages. The metrics are saved in the Insights tab, but the data can further be exported and grouped by phone number, message type and country.
Messaging Tools For Engagement
One of the most crucial part of WhatsApp Business is its messaging capacity, which connects a brand to its audience and client base. With open messaging options, a brand can send unlimited free messages in different formats. Automation features also offer a means to deliver timely responses.
The messaging system foster proactive contact with your audience. If you have a client or lead's phone number, you can use WhatsApp Business to send an initial welcome message to each contact. While you won't want to abuse it by sending too many messages, this channel becomes an alternative or extra channel to connect with your target audience or existing clients.
Furthermore, there's also a broadcast tool, which enables you to send any type of content to up to 256 people on each broadcast list you have created. Inasmuch as contacts will only receive the broadcast if they have saved your number, this is an effective strategy of sending out a campaign very fast. You can also group your contacts and then create broadcast campaigns related to appointments, shipping information and booking requests that match those groups or personas.
Group messaging is quite another engagement and collaboration tool. Similar to broadcasting, this tool provides group chat capacity so that everyone can communicate and view contact details. Available for up to 256 contacts in one group, the tool is effective for networking, beta testing, focus groups and service meetings.
Business Presence And Awareness
Different statistics point to the importance of using WhatsApp Business. According to WhatsApp, there are 2 billion WhatsApp users around the world as of 2020. The number of users has been increasing at the extraordinary rate of half a billion every two years. Of this audience, Statista proved that 1.6 billion users access the messaging app each month (Statista, 2019), which is 23 percent more than its closest competitor, Facebook Messenger.
As part of the Facebook family of companies, you can make use of WhatsApp Business to further build your online presence and reach an even wider audience. One appealing option is to link the app to a Facebook Page. Doing so can enable you get traffic via different tools like a WhatsApp Send Message Button, Facebook Ads, or a WhatsApp number listed on your Facebook page.
A Display For Your Products And Services
WhatsApp Business offers means to buy and sell your products/services via features like the WhatsApp Business Catalog and WhatsApp Cart. The catalog feature offers a way to share product and service listings with customers. You can spotlight what you offer with photos, descriptions and pricing information. Links from your catalog or even each item within it can be shared across all your other channels.
Customers can also add products to their cart after seeing them in the catalog as well as use the messaging tools to confirm a transaction with your business. The application also works effectively for those brands that have physical storefronts. For instance, you can physically showcase your WhatsApp Business QR code so customers can scan it in the store, easily adding you so they may engage with your business online.
Apart from the mentioned benefits of using WhatsApp Business, there are still more results-oriented reasons you should incorporate the use of WhatsApp business as a growing brand.
Have you done that already or are you yet to do so? If yes, feel free to share with us your marketing experience so far, and if no, you can go ahead and try it out today.

Decent bosses typically try to lead by example. As a leader, you must model appropriate behavior to promote the greater good and to send a constant message with teeth in it.
However, the real test of team-building and motivational sayings is that they are good only when they move from an HR/PR catchphrase to a way of doing business — every day.
Communicating by one's actions can be very powerful. A good method to set the right tone is stepping in and lending a hand, sometimes in unexpected and dramatic ways. This shows the team that you govern yourself as you expect each of them to govern their own behavior. In my enterprises, I constantly tell my colleagues that the title following each person's name boils down to these three critical words: "Whatever it takes." Certainly, I bestow prefixes to this one-size-fits-all, three-word title, such as vice president or manager, but I consider these as window dressing only.
After speeches, when I explain this universal job description, I always get questions from the audience about how I communicate this concept. I follow with a real-life experience that played out in the first few months after I started OfficeMax. As a new company, we had precious, little money, never enough time and only so much energy, which we preserved as our most valuable assets in order to be able to continually fight another day.
In those early days, too frequently, I would see what looked like a plumber come into the office, go into the restroom and emerge a few minutes later presenting what I surmised to be a bill to our controller. I knew whatever he was doing was costing us money and probably not building value. The third time he showed up, in as many weeks, I immediately followed him into the restroom (much to his shock and consternation). I asked him what in the world kept bringing him back. He then proceeded to remove the john's lid and give me a tutorial on how to bend the float ball for it to function properly. That was the last time anyone ever saw this earnest workman on our premises. Instead, after making known my newly acquired skill, whenever the toilet stopped working, I became the go-to guy.
This became an object lesson to my team about how to save money. At that time, 50 bucks a pop was a fortune to us. It got down to people knowing that all of us in this nascent start-up were expected to live up to their real, three-word title. This was our version of how to build esprit de corps. Others began boastfully relaying their own unique "whatever it takes" actions, and it became our way of doing business.
The lesson I learned in those early days was that it wasn't always what I said that was important but rather what I did that made an indelible impression. A leader's actions, with emphasis on the occasionally unorthodox to make them memorable, are the ingredients that contribute to molding a company's culture.
A unique new book with an unorthodox, yet proven approach to achieving extraordinary success.
What does it take to grow rapidly and effectively from mind to market?
This book offers an unconventional philosophy for starting and building a business that exceeds your own expectations.
Beating the competition is never easy. That's why it requires a benevolent dictator.

This was Maria Sharapova like nobody had ever quite seen her before. "The best I have ever seen Maria play," was how the former US Open champion Tracy Austin judged it, and the 15,000 crowd in the Rod Laver arena rose instinctively to its feet after the US-based Russian had defeated the world No1 Justine Henin in straight sets. Not that this was in the least a one-sided quarter-final. Henin, right, pushed herself to the limits, but no matter what she tried and how she tried, Sharapova came up with something that little bit better, and sometimes spectacularly superior.
On this form, and with this variety, surely nobody can prevent one of the most marketable athletes in women's sport from winning her first Australian Open title, and her third slam in total. Last year Serena Williams powered Sharapova into submission in the final, but earlier in the day Serbia's Jelena Jankovic had knocked out a strangely subdued Williams 6-3, 6-4 and that semi-final obstacle was removed.
What was so impressive about Sharapova's 6-4, 6-0 victory was the way she imposed herself against an opponent looking for her 33rd consecutive win, and the way she mixed up her game so beautifully. The power has always been there, though too often there has been an element of the automaton about her play. Henin had won six of their previous eight meetings, essentially because she could cope with the raking forehands and backhands, while outwitting her much taller opponent with a heady mixture of slice and angle. Not this time. Sharapova imposed herself from the first point, and served superbly well, whether it was wide or jammed into Henin's body.
For the majority of last year Sharapova struggled with an injured shoulder, and only rediscovered her true self at the end-of-season women's championships final in Madrid, which Henin won 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 in a match lasting 3hr 25min. It was that performance that convinced Sharapova that she was back on track to win further grand slam titles, and re-establish herself as the world's No1. She worked exceptionally hard during the close season in Florida, and it was obvious from her opening match that she was in imperious form.
Henin wore protection around her right knee that had been troubling her during the first week, but she was quick not to blame it. "I have no excuse. She played a very high level of tennis, and put me under a tremendous amount of pressure. It was her day, and it will probably be her tournament." There were some astonishing rallies, with Henin hurtling around the court, and making Sharapova play the extra shot that can sometimes be her undoing. On this occasion, however, she was remarkably consistent, executing several deft drop shots, as well as hitting sliced backhands of remarkable touch.
The only glitch came at 5-3 in the first set when she dropped her serve, but she immediately broke back with her father, Yuri Sharapov, on his feet when his daughter won an 18-stroke rally. He is still wearing his "assassin's" camouflaged hoodie and at the end of the match drew his finger across his throat. Not a man of much charm. Sharapova was in almost total control during the second set and, as well as Jankovic played against Williams, it is difficult to imagine her withstanding Sharapova in this form.
The two were at Nick Bollettieri's academy in Bradenton together, with Sharapova remembering them rushing to the computer room after they had practised and setting up email addresses. Since they turned professional they have played four times, with Sharapova winning three, all on hard courts. "Ever since the juniors we've always played really tough, and it's great to see her in the semis."
Jankovic has been struggling with injury since the Australian Open began. She plays more tennis than the majority of her rivals, and to date has not had the stamina to get past the semi-finals of a slam. The win over Serena Williams was one of her best ever, though whether she can recover in time for the meeting with Sharapova tomorrow seems doubtful.
There were concerns last year, voiced by Bollettieri, that Sharapova's long limbs might not be able to withstand the rigours of an increasingly physical circuit. "I mean, three years ago I was like a little piece of spaghetti. When I see tapes of myself you could see the joints were popping out of my body. It's amazing to me to see some of the matches I won at Wimbledon when I was 17 years old. I wasn't strong enough, and I would get tired. I'm 20, and I think my body is still developing."
Against Henin the development - physical, mental, and technical - reached a new level.

DOCUMENT: Florida, Sex, Crime
Woman Jailed For Attacking Beau Over Bad Sex
Post-coital battery came after only boyfriend climaxed
Fight Over Orgasm
https://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/fight-over-orgasm
NOVEMBER 27--A Florida woman was jailed last night for a post-coital assault on her boyfriend, an attack the victim says was prompted when only he climaxed during a sexual encounter in the couple's residence.
Raquel Gonzalez, 24, was arrested Monday afternoon for felony domestic battery and booked into the Manatee County lockup, where bond has been set at $750. Gonzalez is pictured in the adjacent mug shot.
According to a Manatee County Sheriff's Office report, Gonzalez and Esric Davis, 30, are "boyfriend and girlfriend who live in the same home and are involved in a sexual relationship."
Deputies noted that Davis and Gonzalez were "involved in sexual intercourse" when "Esric then climaxed and Raquel did not." Which reportedly angered Gonzalez, who allegedly "began hitting and scratching [Davis], causing scratches near his eye and nose." Davis told investigators that Gonzalez "goes off" frequently and that she had previously been physical with him.
At one point, Gonzalez told deputies, "I have scratches on me too from where he tried to restrain me when I lost it." Gonzalez was reportedly "belligerent and uncooperative" and declined to answer questions post-Miranda.
A sheriff's report indicates that alcohol may have been a factor in the alleged battery. (2 pages)

Bed & Breakfast, Camping, Gay & Lesbian, Guest Houses, Historic Inns, Hotels & Motels, Pet Friendly, Resorts & Spas, Vacation Rentals, Waterfront
Looking for Cheap Key West Hotels?
Key West boasts the highest cost of living in the State of Florida, but it won't break your budget to visit.
With over 35 Resorts and Hotels, 104 Bed & Breakfasts and Inns, 15 Specialty Lodgings and 505 Vacation Rentals, Key West has a wide variety of Accommodations to choose from. There are no Key West camp grounds or trailer parks.
So how do you find the cheapest place to stay?
First, it's important to understand the layout of America's Southernmost, drive to tropical island.
The Island of Key West is divided into two distinct parts. Old Town (referred to as Downtown) and New Town. Each area has its own advantages to the vacation visitor.
Staying in Old Town provides the advantage of walking accessibility to most Key West restaurants, attractions and bars. If you're flying into the Key West International airport, you can take a taxi to your hotel and there's no need for a car rental. There are plenty of inexpensive bike and scooter rentals as well as comfortable electric cars to choose from. There are also numerous pedicabs that will be happy to take you and a guest around town.
Old Town Key West features the more elegant Hotels as well as many privately owned Bed and Breakfasts, Inns, and Guest Houses. Those looking for a true Key West experience will find that these Accommodations have easier access to the Old Town region and provide the intimate feeling of being right in the center of Key West.
The architecture of Old Town Key West is historically reflected in these older structures. But don't let their quaint exteriors fool you. Most, if not all, have meticulously renovated interiors complete with internet connections, spas and all the other amenities you'd expect to find in a five star luxury hotel. It does come however with a price and may exceed those budget travelers pocketbooks.
If you decide to stay out in New Town then you will be about 1-3 miles away from Downtown. You can either drive into town in your rental car or take one of the many Key West taxis. Most inexpensive Hotels and Motels in New Town offer shuttle service to the Old Town area.
New Town is where you'll find many popular chain operated Key West hotels. Many of these hotels feature suites with small kitchens along with large pools, on-site restaurants and banquet facilities. Another advantage of New Town is its proximity to several large super markets. Cooking-in can greatly keep your family vacation costs down but don't miss out on the many affordable ethnic and casual restaurants that Key West has to offer. From coffee cafes to waterfront dining, Key West has it all.
So how else can I save money?
The first thing to consider when planning a trip to Key West is time of year.
Off Season and High Season.
High season runs from December through April and off season runs May through November.
Generally, high season cost more than off season so you may choose to base your Key West travel plans accordingly. Keep in mind however, even in off season there are short spikes in prices based on the many annual Key West Events. Also, hurricane season runs June through October, but most hotels eliminate worry and provide a hurricane refund policy should your travel plans get disrupted by an unlikely storm.
For a short stay (under one week) the many Key West Hotels and Bed and Breakfasts are the way to go. Should you choose to stay longer, then look into the hundreds of Vacation Rentals that are available throughout the city of Key West. Often times you'll be able to enjoy a long term rental for the cost of one week at a conventional hotel! Many come with parking for your car, which can otherwise be difficult as well as full kitchens plus 2, 3 and even 4 bedrooms! These weekly rentals are often popular with couples who are getting married in Key West and have large families or wedding parties.
Many of the large Old Town Key West Hotels are located directly on the water and most rooms have a water view from their balcony. In addition to being situated in the center of things, these hotels almost always feature an on-site gourmet restaurants. Many hotels also have in-house water sports facilities that provide scuba, snorkel and para-sailing excursions plus fishing charters.
All of these hotels are located within walking distance to the world famous Duval Street which features dozens of Restaurants, Bars, Attractions and Key West Nightlife.
Some of the medium size Key West Hotels have recently undergone condo conversions which means that they now have full kitchens. A Key West Condo is a perfect choice for a budget vacation and has the convenience of being located in Old Town!
The choice is up to you.
Most times, the least expensive room will be located out in New Town and can range from under one hundred dollars a night an up.(based on double occupancy) Great for families as well as those who make the drive down the Overseas Highway to the bottom of the Florida Keys and arrive in Key West. Large pools, family oriented restaurants, ample parking are just some of the features these chain run hotels have to offer.
For middle range priced rooms are the charming Bed and Breakfasts as well as the numerous Key West Guest Houses. These historic accommodations are marketed more toward couples without children and some are targeted toward the gay and lesbian community. Generally these establishments run around two hundred dollars a night and up. Because they are privately owned the price can often be negotiated a little.
The highest in price are the many large, traditional Key West Hotels. These resort rooms generally begin at three hundred dollars and up peaking out around eight hundred dollars a night. Often times because of the resort size, it's possible to pick up last minute vacancies for half the original price, depending on season.
For the long term vacationer there is no doubt that a vacation rental is the right choice. These range from around five hundred to five thousand dollars a week depending on the amount of rooms, location and amenities available. Many vacation rentals feature a private pool. Best to consult a realtor.
So it really comes down to what you want your Key West vacation experience to be. If it's means staying right in the center of it all then Old Town is the place for you. If you're looking for a family style experience then a modern hotel or motel in New Town might be a better choice with just occasional trip into town.
If you're looking to live like a local, then pack your bags and move in to a short term rental somewhere in the city and you may never leave!
The lyrics from a song written by local Key West singer songwriter Michael McCloud says it best. "Just came down for the weekend, but that was 35 year ago."
See you in Key West, the Southernmost City in the continental United States!

On Productive Shame, Reconciliation, and Agency prompts a unique crossdisciplinary inquiry into the productive potential of the affect of shame. This book contests the ontological understanding of shame and the psychoanalytical interpretation of it based on personal traumatic experiences linked to lack, loss, memory repression, and absence.
Pink Labor on Golden Streets: Queer Art Practices builds on an exhibition and conference at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna that explored the contradictory standpoints of queer art practices, conceptions of the body, and ideas of "queer abstraction," a term coined by Judith Jack Halberstam that raises questions to do with (visual) representations in the context of gender, sexuality, and desire.
Aesthetic Politics in Fashion outlines critical studies in the present cross-sections of fashion, art, politics, and global capitalism. Critically examining contemporary collaborations of artists, media, and fashion labels, this groundbreaking anthology locates fashion within ecological and ethical discourses, postcolonial styles, and critical reflections on whiteness.
Performing the Sentence brings into dialogue the ways that "performative thinking" has developed in different national and institutional contexts, within different disciplines in the arts, and the conditions under which it has developed in experimental art schools. This anthology is a collection of twenty-one essays and conversations that weave in and out of the two key areas of research and teaching within performative fine arts.
Based on the findings of an interdisciplinary research project, Transcultural Modernisms maps out the network of encounters, transnational influences, and local appropriations of an architectural modernity manifested in various ways in housing projects in India, Israel, Morocco, and China.


Celebrating Valentine's Day as the parents of young children can often mean passing on a romantic dinner out or even a quiet evening at home. Do you have a newborn, or even a toddler or older children, and you have no babysitter and no idea how to celebrate Valentine's Day? As well, it goes without saying that you're soexhausted that a date night seems out of reach. Coming up with date night ideas can be overwhelming for parents, but that doesn't mean you need to forget celebrating at all. Lucky for you, there are lots of ways to celebrate at home as a family and create a truly special night for everyone.
A homemade romantic meal is easy to manage if you keep it simple. Your partner or you can handle baby duty while the other cooks. Once the meal is ready, pack your little one into bed, sit down, eat, talk (NOT about the baby) and relax. Valentines is a great way to bake some love heart style food! Buy a love heart stencil and shape your food for your partner (Cheesy we know but adds a little special touch).
As noted above, cooking a homemade meal is great, but if that's too much hassle, order in! While homemade meals are less expensive and often tastier, the time you save with take out is well worth the price for most parents. Sit back with your take-away and enjoy a movie on Netflix together cuddled on the sofa.
Work with your baby's schedule. If baby always needs attention at 7 pm – plan to have people over at 8.
Have some drinks and food on hand, but keep it easy such as snacks or order a pizza. If you must cook, try something super simple like pasta. Consider asking your friends to bring the food since you're hosting.
Be close – Cuddle together as a family. If your kids are young, have a tickle-fest! Valentine's is all about love at the end of the day!
And last of all - HAVE FUN!
If you have any great ideas or activities you think are great to do with the kids on Valentine's Day, please feel free and share your thoughts below in the comment section!

Cybersecurity educationCybersecurity Curriculum, Pilot Focused on Veterans and First Responders
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is part of a coalition of universities and industry partners that are developing a curriculum to increase cybersecurity talent focused on health care with $6.3 million in funding from the National Security Agency. The curriculum focuses on health care cybersecurity.
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is part of a coalition of universities and industry partners that are developing a curriculum to increase cybersecurity talent focused on health care with $6.3 million in funding from the National Security Agency.
UA Little Rock will work with the University of Louisville, the University of North Florida, Bluegrass Technical and Owensboro Technical, the Forge Institute, and a coalition of industry partners to develop a training curriculum focused on health care cybersecurity. UA Little Rock will receive $640,000 for the three-year grant.
"As health care data generation becomes increasingly complex, it is absolutely critical that patient health information be secure and protected. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies enable new methods of data protection," said Dr. Mariofanna Milanova, professor of computer science and principal investigator on the grant for UA Little Rock.
The pilot phase of the health care cybersecurity workforce certificate initially will provide free training for 200 first responders and military veterans. The certificate incorporates technology industry badging from Microsoft, IBM, and Google as well as hands-on applied learning and gamification components. Participants will learn how to protect information systems used by patients, providers, and payers in the health care industry.
UA Little Rock will work with the Forge Institute, a nonprofit organization that specializes in developing private-public partnerships that advance cyber operational objectives. The Forge Institute will help test the cybersecurity curriculum through its existing cybersecurity boot camp, where participants are trained to become cybersecurity analysts.
"Our team is proud of UA Little Rock for being selected to participate in this research consortium led by the University of Louisville," said Lee Watson, CEO of Forge Institute. "The team at UA Little Rock has a deep bench of capability in researching and developing new tools and models for education delivery. This collaboration between the Forge Institute and UA Little Rock will allow us to develop, better tailor, and test cybersecurity curriculum for the veteran and first responder communities."
Program participants will complete the three-level certificate program in six months through online courses led by instructors from coalition institutions, gaining expertise in artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, internet of things (IoT), machine learning. and other areas.
The curriculum will employ innovative training tools including gamification and make use of anonymous datasets and use cases provided by industry partners. Once developed, the curriculum will be available to other institutions free of charge for one year. The first cohort of 30-40 students is expected to be enrolled in spring 2021. Each of the schools in the coalition is a NSA-designated National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense and contributes interests, experience, and skills aligned with health care cybersecurity systems.
Researchers at the UA Little Rock Cyber Gym, an education and simulation model laboratory for cybersecurity learning, will develop next-generation tools for delivering and assessing the cybersecurity curriculum. This will provide an exciting research opportunity for students who are entering the new bachelor's degree in cybersecurity that will begin in the fall 2021 semester.
"I'm excited to work on this research project with the NSA. As a 15+ year veteran in cybersecurity, I have seen first-hand the challenges of developing a qualified workforce," said Philip Huff, assistant professor of computer science and cybersecurity at UA Little Rock. "Cybersecurity is a complex field, because the tools, tactics, and techniques criminals use are ever evolving. To help address this concern, we will be developing training on cutting-edge technologies to help grow a more competitive cybersecurity workforce."


Shoes, shoes, shoes! Why is it that we only have four people in our household, but 50 pairs of shoes in the mudroom at any given time? Now is the time to start to put away sandals and flip flops and take out all of the sneakers and boots. There are lots of options for shoe storage. Click the link below for some functional and also some stylish options.
Click here for shoe storage options.
thanks kerri - I clicked on shoe storage options and clicked around I really like the shoe carousel that holds 24 pairs and might order it. That would be 6 pairs of shoes per person in my house. I would think that would do it!

33' - Pappa again with some solid defensive play. Doesn't get the tackle but Fernandez loses possession anyway. GK.
35' - Very obvious that Azira has been given instruction to play more positive. Every pass he makes is going up field.
35' - Chara gets nutmegged by Papap there and a foul is called. Timbers Army not happy. (Too bad)
36' - FK sent in by Azira there to the far post but misses everyone…but only by a wee little bit.

Much more than a place to sleep.
We choose the most stunning locations for our retreats—places where traditional hotels simply can't exist.
Have you ever seen a tent with 1,500 thread-count sheets and over-bed chandelier? Now you have.
Our chefs create a farm-to-table feast under the stars each night, which leads into gourmet s'mores around the campfire. It's even nicer than it sounds.
Days begin with our morning coffee ritual: Sip a cup of fresh brew made from small-batch, local beans. Take in the view. Pinch yourself. Repeat.
Long before smart phones and guide books, right up until the time of hobos, old world travelers used a system of personal symbols to communicate with each other and connect. We took inspiration from these adventurers to develop the Collective Retreats brand mark, which is derived from the symbol for shelter. In addition, each of our retreats has its own unique badge with marks within representing its standout features. And like the travelers of the old world, each of our team members and guests is invited to create their own personal Traveler's Mark (like the one above)—a mark that uniquely represents you and travels with you along your own journey—learn more about Traveler's Marks and our community of adventurers.
We create retreats in extraordinary destinations across the country—and eventually, the world. From Montana to New York City, each has its own spirit and personality, and we know you'll love getting to know them all. We're also constantly adding locations, which means the adventure is just beginning.

What is the importance of revision?
What is revision and what is the importance of revision? According to the Collins English dictionary revision means 'to read things again'. This implies that you have read and understood your study material at least once prior to starting revision. So, if you haven't you need to get a move on.
The importance of revision is twofold. Firstly, it helps you to remember facts, figures, topics and methodologies that you have covered. Secondly, if done correctly it will help increase your confidence and reduce anxiety – you will be well prepared for your examination.
This page will provide you with revision techniques and strategies that are proven to work. You will need to try them, as what works for one person may not work for someone else – this is perfectly normal.
Each subject will provide revision materials to you and they will upload some of those materials here under the subject tab.
Any questions, please speak with your tutor, Head of Year or any member of staff here at PCSA.
So how should I revise?
Begin by organising your work space and your study material. If possible, separate the area you intend to use for study from that in which you relax. Try to keep your 'entertainment gadgets' out of sight when you are studying.
Make a revision plan, include all the subjects and areas covered by your upcoming exams. Make sure that your plan is realistic. Give yourself enough time to revise properly as well as breaks for relaxation. The revision plan needs to be flexible enough to allow for some things taking longer than expected.
Revise subjects and topics that make you feel anxious earlier on in the revision plan. This will help reduce anxiety because you will feel that you have more time to deal with them. You don't need to tackle the difficult areas first. Revising subjects you know well will boost your confidence – but don't put off the difficult areas until the last minute.
Active revision is far for effective than passive. So, make notes as you revise. Make further summaries of the notes. They act as very useful prompts for your memory. Review these notes and summaries regularly. Read them out loud and test yourself on each area you cover.
Make use of past exam papers. Get used to the type and style of questions asked. Practice answering the questions previously asked.
Revision is hard work. Make sure that you get enough sleep and take time off to be with your friends and exercise a little. Rest, relaxation and making sure you stay fit and well are very important elements of the revision programme. Don't revise into the early hours of the morning. You might feel that you are dedicated and working hard but 'overdoing' it is counterproductive. You will perform much better after a good night's sleep.
Anxiety about your exams is perfectly normal. Everybody suffers from it to some extent. Anxiety about examinations stems from a fear of the unknown. What questions will be asked? Will I be able to answer them? Have I done enough work to pass? Will I get a good enough grade? I think I'm going to fail!
Put all these thoughts behind you, because that is all they are – just thoughts – concentrate on the here and now. Work out your revision plan. Start your revision. Work to your timetable methodically. You will begin to realise how much you already know. How you can answer previous exam questions and answer them well. How areas that you perhaps found more difficult are falling into place because you are giving yourself time to understand and learn. As you move through your revision plan your anxiety will lessen because you are in charge. You are controlling the situation rather than the situation controlling you. Your confidence will grow and believe it or not, if you are diligent and follow your plan you might even look forward to the tests ahead! This shows the importance of revision – it helps reduce exam anxiety.
Use this good advice; use the techniques and strategies provided by your teachers. Work consistently well and you will succeed – all of us at PCSA believe in you.

Elk Hill Mentoring Coordinator, Liz Knotts organized the first ever "Time In, Outdoors" Summer session. The group visited Wildrock, an amazing three-acre nature playscape in Crozet, Virginia, where people of all ages can experience a personal connection to the natural world that is supportive of health and happiness.
Led by an Eco Therapist, youth were introduced to sensory mindfulness exercises. They explored and looked for treasures and special trees, played in the stream and looked for macroinvertebrates to make a nature mandala. They walked the labyrinth and ended their visit with a transitional gratitude circle.
That same day they visited The White Pig Animal Sanctuary in Schuyler, Virginia which provides rescue and haven for abused, abandoned and neglected pigs as well as promoting vegan education.
Thank you Liz Knotts for putting this special day together for the youth we serve!

Не следует путать с 1-й мотострелковой дивизией особого назначения внутренних войск НКВД СССР

1-я стрелко́вая диви́зия вну́тренних во́йск НКВД СССР — воинское соединение НКВД СССР в Великой Отечественной войне.

История дивизии
Дивизия сформирована в составе трёх полков в расположении летнего лагеря пограничных войск у деревни Васкелово с 22 августа по 28 августа 1941 года по приказу начальника управления войск НКВД охраны тыла Северного фронта № 0027 из военнослужащих 3-го Сортавальского пограничного отряда, 7-го Кингисеппского пограничного отряда, 33-го Выборгского пограничного отряда, 102-го Элисенваарского пограничного отряда, окружной школы младшего начальствующего состава, Ленинградского гарнизона войск НКВД СССР, сотрудников общей следственной тюрьмы тюремного отдела УНКВД по Ленинградской области. Политработников в дивизию направило Ново-Петергофское ВПУ НКВД. Дислоцировалась на железнодорожной станции Васкелово. В составе действующей армии с 22 августа 1941 по 9 августа 1942 года.

В связи с быстрым продвижением противника юго-восточнее Ленинграда, спешно переброшена на станцию Пелла, с задачей отбросить противника от Мги, и выйти в район Войтолово, Сологубовка, Турышкино, Вороново, где занять прочную оборону. Дивизии был придан дивизион 152-х миллимметровых гаубиц из 577-го корпусного артиллерийского полка, а также рота танков Т-26 и рота танков КВ-1. Командиру дивизии, кроме того, было предписано собирать и брать под своё командование части, находящиеся в том районе.

Для подготовки к боевым действиям дивизии требуется минимум месяц, но прорыв немцев заставил бросить её в бой менее чем через десять дней после начала формирования. Три полка дивизии успели получить по два орудия и по пять снарядов на каждое из них. Мало было мин, пулемётов и автоматов. Каждый полк получил по три ящика бутылок с горючей смесью. Это оружие было эффективно только на расстоянии не более 20 метров, а если учесть, что сразу за немецкими танками шла пехота, которая вела частый автоматный огонь, то эти средства были практически бесполезны. Даже таких «мелочей», которые в бою необходимы, как сапёрные лопатки и каски, на всех бойцов не хватило. Взводами, как правило, управляли сержанты, а политруками рот назначали просто грамотных коммунистов, хорошо показавших себя в Финской войне. Боевого опыта не имел никто из офицеров кроме самого комдива и начальника разведки Ф. В. Карлова. В полках не успели провести ни одного тактического учения в обстановке, приближённой к боевой. Численность дивизии на момент убытия на фронт составила 10 483 человек при штатной численности в 13 060 человек.

29 августа 1941 года 2-й стрелковый полк первым из частей дивизии принял боевое крещение, вступив в бой с частями 90-го пехотного полка и сумел 30 августа 1941 года выбить противника из Мги. С 31 августа по 3 сентября 1941 года полк удерживает Мгу. Отчитался об уничтожении немецких войск в количестве до 2 батальонов пехоты, однако и дивизия понесла большие потери, так во 2-м стрелковом полку общие потери достигли 2500 человек, включая командира полка и 2-3 сентября 1941 года оставил Мгу и отошёл к Неве.

Остальные полки дивизии вступили в бой с частями 122-й пехотной дивизии 31 августа 1941 года, ведёт бои в районах Петрушино, Лобаново, Келколово, ЦНИГРИ (ныне Дачное), посёлка Отрадное и северо-западной окраины посёлка Мгинский. 5 и 6 сентября дивизия совместно с 1-й горнострелковой бригадой при артиллерийской поддержке крейсера «Максим Горький» и эсминцев «Строгий» и «Стройный» обороняет рубеж Келколово, Лобаново, Мустолово, 1-й и 2-й рабочие посёлки (в настоящее время СНТ Приозёрное), Марьино и Шлиссельбург, остановить противника не смогли и 7-8 сентября 1941 года переправились за Неву, на её правый берег, заняла оборону от площадки Теплобетон до Нового Кошкина. Часть дивизии не успела переправиться и вела бои на левом берегу Невы.

9 сентября 1941 года дивизия получила пополнение в лице личного состава местных частей войск НКВД СССР, запасных батальонов РККА, а также ряда истребительных батальонов УНКВД по Ленинградской области и г. Ленинграду. В результате этих мер удалось довести общую численность соединения до шестидесяти процентов от штатной.

В ночь на 14 сентября 1941 года 1-я дивизия погранвойск НКВД полковника С. И. Донскова получила приказ К. Е. Ворошилова готовить контрудар на Шлиссельбург с десантами через Неву и с Ладожского озера. В распоряжение дивизии был направлен 41-й понтонный батальон Манкевича, выходил на Неву и 21-й батальон капитана Л. С. Труппа.

20 сентября 1941 года части дивизии предприняли попытку форсировать Неву, но она оказалась неудачной.
7-й сп начал форсирование в 3 часа 20 сентября тремя эшелонами на фронте 300 метров. Переправа производилась на 40 рыбацких лодках и 5 лодках А-3.
1-й эшелон — 2-я стрелковая рота во главе с командиром роты лейтенантом Кубасовым и политруком Брызгаловым. 2-й эшелон — 3-я стрелковая рота во главе с командиром батальона капитаном Никифоровым и комиссаром Мекеровым. Общее руководство переправой осуществлял командир полка майор Горькавый и комиссар полка Малоиван, от политаппарата дивизии присутствовал ст. политрук Гринчишин.
1-й эшелон, не доходя восточного берега, подвергся сильному обстрелу пулемётным, миномётным и автоматическим огнём. Огонь вёлся и по 2-му эшелону, отчалившему от берега.
Из двух эшелонов высадилась на восточный берег группа 60— 70 чел. с командиром и политруком 2-й роты. 2-й эшелон почти полностью был расстрелян. 3-й эшелон не переправлялся.
1-й сп переправлялся в 200 метрах севернее устья Чёрная Речка, начал переправу в 3.00 20 сентября. Комендант переправы командир батальона 3/1 сп переправлялся в устье Чёрная Речка. Переправу начал в 4.20, комендант переправы — командир 3-го батальона. Переправой руководил командир дивизии полковник Донсков. Переправа осуществлялась на 8 понтонах. Противник также встретил губительным огнём. Из первых эшелонов на восточный берег высадилось лишь 14 человек во главе с младшим политруком Блохиным. Из них в течение пяти дней вышли обратно 12 человек, частью раненые, в том числе ранен и Блохин. Остальные, понеся большие потери, вернулись обратно.
2 сп переправу производил южнее Шереметьевки. Переправлялось два взвода. Из них 19 человек вернулось обратно, 3 убито и 2 ранено, остальные по наблюдениям вышли на берег, но судьба их неизвестна. Переправляющиеся были обеспечены боеприпасами 2 б/к и продовольствием на 2 суток.
Артиллерийское обеспечение переправы было подготовлено начальником артиллерии своевременно, но артподготовка перед началом переправы не велась, рассчитывалось организовать переправу внезапно.
Таким образом, переправа на участке юго-западная окраина Шлиссельбурга, северная окраина Марьино не удалась.
26 сентября 1941 года части 2-го стрелкового полка вновь пытались переправиться через Неву с Шереметьевской пристани. Двумя ротами полк захватил пристань Шлиссельбурга и завязал бой в северо-западной части города, 27 сентября 1941 года туда же переправился разведвзвод полка. Назад не вернулся никто, судьба воинов осталась неизвестной. Дивизия перешла к обороне. Тем не менее, дивизия одним из подразделений, совместно с Ладожской военной флотилией заняла крепость «Орешек», которая осталась в руках советских войск до конца блокады Ленинграда, при этом костяк гарнизона составляли воины этой дивизии.

С осени 1941 года 1-я стрелковая дивизия НКВД вплоть до переформирования стояла на обороне правого берега Невы. В ночь с 4 на 5 февраля 1942 года силами 2-го батальона 2-го стрелкового полка вновь была предпринята попытка форсирования Невы и захвата Шлиссельбурга, которая закончилась неудачей.

В дивизии особенно активно развивалось снайперское движение, так на 29 мая 1942 года в дивизии насчитывалось 464 снайпера, которые вывели из строя 2288 солдат и офицеров противника.

Дивизия 9 августа 1942 года передана в состав РККА и переформирована в 46-ю стрелковую дивизию.

Andy Reid's era of experiments will end with bad decisions and Michael Vick on the bench

Share All sharing options for: Andy Reid's era of experiments will end with bad decisions and Michael Vick on the bench
The NFL's Sunday slate of game will not feature the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost Thursday night, 34-13, to the visiting Cincinnati Bengals.
The loss featured pretty much everything that has been wrong with the Eagles (4-10) all season long. However, as Philly.com columnist Bob Ford writes Sunday, the team's -- head coach Andy Reid's -- biggest gaffe was its inability to use quarterback Michael Vick, whose tenure in Philadelphia will end on the bench.
Reid's failure to distinguish between innovation and gimmick, which has been a recurring theme in his career here, is what brought Vick to town in the first place. The Wildcat offense turned out to be a blip on the screen instead of a game-changer, but Reid needed to get the newest version of the operating system, only to find it was outdated by the time he got it home.
Ford also points out that Vick's replacement, rookie Nick Foles, may not be the answer for the Eagles' quarterback future. If Foles doesn't work out it would be just another Eagles' idea gone bad.
In the meantime, the end of the Vick experiment, coming so soon after the end of the Jim Washburn experiment, and the end of the Juan Castillo experiment, brings to mind Reid's maddening habit of thinking outside the box rather than looking in the box to see if the answer was there the whole time.
Read Ford's complete column here.
The Eagles' next game will be next Sunday against the Washington Redskins (1 p.m. on Fox). Philadelphia will conclude its regular season, Dec. 30, at the New York Giants (1 p.m. on FOX). This is the second straight season the Eagles will finish the season without a winning record.


Everyone has different preferences on what makes their home more livable and last time we talked about general dos and don'ts as well as approaching home improvements as investments.
1) General outside appearance is your home's first impression. People want to pull into their driveway and be welcomed back home. This one category consists of multiple factors including: garage, siding, front door, and deck. These are the things that maintain the most value in a home.
2) Moving inside, the first thing people notice is the kitchen. Food is virtually the center of everyone's life. As such, the kitchen is the center of the house and the first thing most buyers prioritize and notice. There are countless ways to embark upon remodeling your kitchen but most agree making sure it's user friendly, has storage, and creates areas for tasks are important.
3) You might not think of how much time you spend in a bathroom but it is a room even most guests are going to use. While a new bathroom will recoup on average about 60% of costs, an improved bathroom can make a home much more user friendly (and appealing to buyers). Here are some bathroom projects that increase home value.
4) Energy efficient upgrades allow you to save money while living in it while also increasing your home's value for sale. We suggest starting with upgrades that are the least visible as possible. What we mean is this: solar panels can be a very good long-term investment and save you money over time. Some buyers will love solar panels. But others will not. Other energy efficient upgrades that are less polarizing like improving insulation, upgrading to more efficient appliances, heating and cooling systems, windows (as well as doors and skylights), and eco-friendly toilets are ways to improve energy efficiency without detracting buyers. While these items–like all other home improvements–will depreciate in time, these are the home improvements that may actually pay for themselves over time and retain their value at a better rate than other remodeling options.
5) Finishing the basement basically creates more living space without having to add on to your home. Whether you make it a game room, a bedroom, a separate unit, or anything else will be based on what is right for your living situation as well as what the other homes in the area offer. For instance, some neighborhoods are not zoned for multi-family homes so making your basement into an apartment isn't a great idea. You will want to familiarize yourself with local zoning laws and consider the environment of your neighborhood as you decide the best way to finish your basement but here are some ideas for investing in your basement.
6) Landscaping can actually potentially provide you a return on the investment. The right tree can actually appreciate in value (though most likely a very small percentage of your overall property) rather than depreciate, and can be seen especially valuable if they have some function like creating privacy or a natural wind barrier. Because trees take time to grow, you must consider how long you plan on living on your home. In addition, the right tree must be chosen as many trees can cause maintenance issues. Additional landscaping, including hardscaping (man-made structures like terraces, paths, and fences incorporated in landscaping) can augment the value of your home.
No matter what kind of investment you are making, in home remodeling or otherwise, talk to your local community bank and seeing what finance options are available and what makes sense for your situation. Happy Home Improvement!

As usual the Monday morning mayhem greeted us again with the welcome you would expect from a very unwelcome old friend. Despite the weekend being a predictable two days each week, we always feel like we have been cheated of time and left feeling we deserved more.
Our morning began with the pitter-patter of little feet into our bedroom at 5am, after a night of waking up a few times to settle both girls.
The added stress of the fact that this was a morning when Lucy now went to nursery piled on the pressure to our already bleary eyed family. The day started well with cheery happy children, but by dinner time my two sweet red-headed daughters had been replaced by something only seen in the worst cases of Supper Nanny. The perfect tag team, Lucy screamed at three minute intervals that she was "tiiiiiiired" with a whine worthy enough to test the sanity of any mother whilst making dinner.
Livvy followed the rear whilst clearing away the pots demanding in a series of grunts to be let loose from her high chair. The text from Ian to say he was to be later than usual added to my already disintegrating patience. Bath time was met with writhing and fuss. But the 2 minutes of glee when daddy returned brought a smile to their faces and allowed us reprieve from the madness. Now all tucked in bed, I look forward to tomorrow as we are all celebrating Shrove Tuesday with a pancake breakfast. although I am under no illusions that it will be a Walton's type affair, I know it will result in a happy family with chocolate covered faces sat in a kitchen with batter covered walls.

Lamma Island is only a short ferry ride from Hong Kong's bustling Central District, but offers a much more laid-back vibe. There are two main villages on the island; the southern village of Sok Kwu Wan (pictured) is home to Hong Kong's farm fishing industry and several popular seafood restaurants.
Fishermen greet the ferries in the northern village of Yung Shue Wan. The village is full of tourist shops and restaurants, but also homes and daily-need shops, like hardware stores. While walking through the streets, I thought it must be odd to share space in your daily life with hundreds of tourists every day, but such is life on Lamma.
Rapunzel found herself tangled in a tree at a Lamma Island hat shop.
The easy-to-follow path around Lamma Island is about four miles (seven kilometers) and passes two beaches. The first one was packed with tourists, but our patience paid off as the second had fewer people, nice shade and great swimming.
I'm kind of a nerd for modern windmills, so I was pretty excited that Lamma Winds, Hong King's first wind turbine, was open to the public. It was a bit like a horror movie standing directly below the blades as they came slashing down. While the logical part of my brain knew they weren't going to hit me, the personal safety part of my brain got my pulse racing a bit. Also, the name Lamma Winds sounds like it should belong to a casino.
Tillamook Cheese, made on the Oregon coast for more than 100 years, is pretty popular across the U.S., but it's still a surprise to see it abroad. We found a nice selection at one of the many international grocery stores in the downtown area. The little loaves were between $5.50-6.00 U.S.

Keyboard shortcuts are simple commands that keep your fingers on your keyboard instead of jumping back and forth to your mouse. You probably already know common keyboard shortcuts like CTRL + C to copy and CTRL + V to paste, but there are tons of other shortcuts to do just about anything on your computer or in a specific program. Learning those keyboard shortcuts can boost your productivity—potentially saving you 8 workdays' worth of time each year, according to e-learning expert Andrew Cohen.
But if it takes hours to memorize keyboard shortcuts, it can be hard to invest the time—even if you know it'll pay off eventually. That's why we looked for apps to help. Here are the best ways to quickly learn the keyboard shortcuts that will give you an extra week's worth of time.
When your long cheat sheet of Windows shortcuts becomes too inconvenient, KeyRocket is here to teach you Windows keyboard shortcuts more intuitively.
Whenever you use your mouse to do a task that a keyboard shortcut could have accomplished more quickly, a KeyRocket popup will notify you of the shortcut. The idea is that repeated notifications will help you to learn these shortcuts naturally as you work. KeyRocket also has a searchable database of shortcuts that is easily accessible as you work and allows you to create your own custom shortcuts.
KeyRocket teaches you keyboard shortcuts for Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Visual Studio, as well as the Windows operating system in general. If you use Microsoft Office for your daily work, this shortcut education is well worth the investment.
There's also a free Chrome extension for learning Gmail shortcuts, useful for Mac and Windows users alike.
KeyRocket Pricing: Free version that includes custom shortcuts and Excel and Powerpoint shortcuts; $135/yearly (discount available to students) for premium version after 7-day trial, which includes all programs and features.
If you've ever thought to yourself, "Hey, it'd be nice if I could instantly find all the keyboard shortcuts for the application I'm using right now," you're in luck. CheatSheet is a free Mac app that displays all available shortcuts for your Mac when you press a key. Think of it as having a printed sheet next to your keyboard, only more convenient, since it adapts to whatever application you're using at the time.
Install CheatSheet and open the app to run in the background. When you want to view the CheatSheet for the app you're using, simply hold down the ⌘ key for a few seconds and a list of all the shortcuts for the app you're currently using will pop up. Quit pressing the Command key and the list will disappear—no need to minimize the window or press Esc.
We tested CheatSheet in several apps, including Google Chrome, Photoshop, Scrivener, Slack, and Finder and found it to be the simplest of all the tools we reviewed. If you're not interested in memorizing all keyboard shortcuts for every program but want to quickly look up a shortcut within your current app, CheatSheet is for you.
Want a tool like CheatSheet with additional features to help you define shortcuts with keyboard and mouse combinations? Check out KeyCue (EUR 19.99).
ShortcutFoo gamifies learning keyboard shortcuts for dozens of business programs, such as Trello, Zendesk, Sublime Text, and Ruby Strings. The inclusion of several top programming editors and terminals (such as Command Line and Git) make it especially handy for developers and beginner coders.
Set up a "dojo" for the program you want to learn, gain keyboard shortcut mastery through practicing with online flashcards and "fighting" against a timed AI or fellow human. Then, test your knowledge to gain rank. By learning more advanced shortcuts and remembering them, you can go from being a keyboard shortcut "Adolescent Turtle" to a "Shark Norris" productivity champ.
Why is gamification so helpful for learning? Find out in Gamification: Science and Software to Make You More Productive.
If you want to view shortcuts without digging through a help menu, Application Shortcut Mapper will help you visualize the keyboard shortcuts you're looking for.
Explore keyboard shortcuts for various programs by clicking around the site's interactive keyboard image, selecting trigger keys like ⌘, Ctrl, Shift, and Alt. The keys with shortcuts tied to them will display text describing what the shortcut does. You can switch the view to show you keyboard shortcuts for Mac, Windows, or Linux.
Check the Help menu—for most apps, you can find a list of keyboard shortcuts in the help documentation.
Check menus—in many apps, you will see available keyboard shortcuts displayed on the right, next to the action in the menu.
If you're using a Google app, CMD + / or CTRL + / will show most Google keyboard shortcuts.
Press and hold CMD on an iPad keyboard to see all supported keyboard shortcuts in an app. This works similarly to CheatSheet, but will only work with an external keyboard connected to your iPad.
While it may still take you some time to learn the keyboard shortcuts for the applications you use every day, these tools will get shortcuts ingrained in your muscle memory more quickly, so you can focus your full attention on the work at hand.
Can't get enough keyboard shortcuts? You'll love text expanders. Learn how text expansion apps help you write long phrases with fewer keystrokes.

Clean energy company to develop green portable energy generators, produce electro-fuels for Port of Tacoma
by PNCECE | Apr 14, 2022 | Clean Energy News, Trending Topics | 0 comments
OCOchem Inc., a clean energy company in Tacoma, WA, was awarded $1.5 million to develop green portable energy generators and produce electro-fuels for use at the Port of Tacoma.
The grant awarded is among the latest round of $8.5 million in state Clean Energy Fund grants from the Washington State Department of Commerce, which recently identified 10 proposed research, development and demonstration projects to receive $8.5 million in Clean Energy Fund grants.
The projects represent the wide range of cutting edge research, development and demonstration projects.
The OCOchem project will demonstrate how recycled carbon dioxide, water and clean electricity can be converted into hydrogen fuel in a liquid carrier form that is easier, cheaper and safer to store and transport. This green energy can be used to replace the diesel-powered generators that keep refrigerated cargo containers cool while waiting to leave the port, which also benefits the surrounding community by reducing carbon emissions, airborne pollution and noise.
Other statewide and global partners in the project – which has an additional $2.5 million from OCOchem, based in Richland, WA, and other investors – include Tacoma Power, Washington Maritime Blue, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Sacre-Davey Engineering, Johnston Engineering, and Det Norske Veritas.
