Nicor Gas President Melvin D. Williams to retire after more
NAPERVILLE, Ill., June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern Company Gas has announced that Melvin D. Williams, president of Nicor Gas and senior vice president of Southern Company Gas will retire, effective Sept. 1.
Since his appointment as president of Nicor Gas in 2015, Williams has continually advanced the company's focus and commitment to safety, establishing it as the number one value in providing safe and reliable natural gas to Nicor Gas' 2.2 million customers.
Under his leadership, the largest infrastructure rehabilitation effort in Nicor Gas' history was deployed. Through Investing in Illinois, cast iron main pipelines and copper services were retired, resulting in the safe replacement of more than 831 miles of aging, natural gas pipeline and underground storage systems. Nearly 100,000 service replacements also were conducted throughout the 656 communities Nicor Gas serves. Investing in Illinois is Nicor Gas' system improvement initiative designed to help ensure the continued safe and reliable delivery of natural gas in the state of Illinois.
"I'm humbled to have been a part of a team who always puts customers and their safety first. The company would not continuously improve our systems and communities without the dedication and hard work of every single employee," Williams said. "They put safety above all else because they believe it. It's personal to us – all of us. Time and time again, this commitment superseded any other obligation we have had as a company, and our communities are better for it."
"Melvin Williams is a dedicated and respected leader who has been an ardent champion of natural gas and its benefits. Anyone who has met Melvin knows he holds the safety of his employees, customers and communities first. His leadership will be greatly missed," said Kim Greene, Southern Company Gas chairman, president and CEO. "Melvin's many accomplishments span his decades with Southern Company Gas, and our industry is better thanks to his contributions. We all wish him the very best in his well-deserved retirement."
Williams began his career with Southern Company Gas in 1989. His depth of knowledge in all facets of natural gas utility distribution increased over the next 31 years as Williams held leadership positions in numerous areas of the company, including sales and new business development, regulatory affairs, utility operations and financial planning and analysis. Prior to his current position, Williams served as senior vice president of planning and business services operations. He also served as vice president and general manager of Atlanta Gas Light and Florida City Gas.
As a champion of diversity and inclusion for employees and our communities, Williams served on the Southern Company Gas Leadership, Empowerment, Acceptance and Diversity (LEAD) Council and is the founding chairman of the Illinois Utilities Business Diversity Council, as well as a member of the Chicago chapter of the American Association of Blacks in Energy.
During his tenure at Southern Company Gas, Williams actively supported numerous community and youth organizations and continues to be passionate about charitable causes. His dedication and engagement include serving on the board of directors for United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, the board of trustees for the Field Museum of Chicago; and the board of the Southern Company Gas Charitable Foundation. He also is a lifetime member and Hall of Fame inductee of the Frank Callen Boys & Girls Club of Savannah. Williams earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Savannah State University.
John O. Hudson, III, executive vice president and chief external and public affairs officer at Southern Company Gas, will succeed Williams as president and CEO of Nicor Gas.

Joe Amendola, Jerry Sandusky's lawyer, got a teenage girl pregnant when he was 49
Joe Amendola, Jerry Sandusky's defense attorney, got a teenage girl pregnant when she was 17 and he was 49, according to a report.
Joe Amendola, now 63, is said to have later married Mary Lavasile.
According to The Daily newspaper, which quoted from documents of State College, Pennsylvania, Joe Amendola represented Mary Lavasile in an emancipation hearing in 1996 just weeks before her 17th birthday.
At about the same time, Mary Lavasile became pregnant with Joe Amendola's child, her mother, Janet, told The Daily.
The age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16.
Janet Lavasile said she thought Joe Amendola was a "mentor" figure to her daughter and did not realize the extent of their relationship.
"She met him through the school district; she was interested in the law," said Janet Lavasile.
Joe Amendola is said to have married Mary Lavasile in February, 2003, but they split after having two children together
Joe Amendola is said to have married Mary Lavasile in February, 2003, but they split after having two children together.
Joe Amendola's estranged wife, now aged 32, kept his name. Mary Amendola hasn't commented on the report.
"Joe is a very good father and has loved his two children very much, and that's the most important thing for me right now," said Janet Lavasile.
Joe Amendola has gone on the offensive for Jerry Sandusky to claim the one-time heir apparent to Joe Paterno was just "horsing aroun"' with young boys and wasn't guilty of sexual abuse.
The lawyer apparently gave his blessing to his client to agree to a phone interview with NBC sports presenter Bob Costas on Monday night when Jerry Sandusky acknowledge he did engage in inappropriate behavior with boys, including taking showers with them.
Jerry Sandusky insisted, however, that he was not sexually attracted to children.
When Bob Costas asked Joe Amendola if he would leave his children alone with Jerry Sandusky, the lawyer answered: "Yes, without hesitation."
On her Facebook page afterwards, Mary Amendola wrote: "OMG. Did Joe just say that he would allow my kids to be alone with Jerry Sandusky?"

Home News Money can't buy you the voters' love
Money can't buy you the voters' love
By Paul T Horgan
SOCIALISTS and their fellow travellers like to broadcast that democracy is being subverted by Big Money and Big Data. They do this because socialism has been given a proper drubbing not just in the UK but across the world for the last decade. Since socialists cannot explain this by blaming the practical and intellectual failures of socialism, they are required to blame something else.
In the first place they blame the voters. They have yet to work out that this is not the best way to encourage voters to change their preferences. They will then state that the voters are unsophisticated and easily led. Rebecca Long Bailey did this in her car-crash interview with Andrew Neil last week when she did not blame the policies contained in Labour's manifesto for last year's General Election, but declared that the manifesto was written in 'quite intellectual terms sometimes that were quite alien to many of our communities'. Nice one, Becky.
Socialists revert to blaming conspiracies by the rich and connected for their repeated failures. This will inevitably drift into anti-Semitism, and it has done so while the Labour Party has endured four successive General Election defeats. In is in this vein of conspiracism that there have been numerous stories of a former mayor of a major city who has enjoyed repeated electoral success on the national stage not because of his presence or the policies he champions, but because he has had access to considerable funds and been able use these to leverage voter data to his advantage through a highly directed use of social media. It has been not quite openly suggested that due to the power of social media in the electoral process that some past election results were bought and paid for, sometimes using the resources of unfriendly foreign powers.
And this is how Mike Bloomberg captured the Democratic Party nomination to face off against Donald Trump in the autumn.
No, wait a minute. Something's wrong.
Bloomberg, after spending half a billion dollars in his campaign, has pulled out of the race. A multi-billionaire, Bloomberg made his money by providing market information to traders in the financial services industry. He built his fortune on the capture, formatting, and delivery of large quantities of data in approximately real time. If anyone had the resources and capability to satisfy Left-wing paranoiacs and buy the US Presidential Election, it was Bloomberg. And yet, despite having served as a (Republican) Mayor of New York, he failed when facing off against Democrat politicians with years more experience of elected office than his three terms at the helm of New York. It can't have just been because he had metaphorically crossed the floor, having previously been a Democrat himself. Churchill crossed the floor and succeeded. Twice.
The failure of Bloomberg and his millions to defeat veterans such as Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders is evidence that money and data alone cannot deliver votes. Bloomberg won the mayoralty of New York three times without sufficient controversy to dog him in his bid for the Democrat ticket. Yet Mayor Bloomberg did not have what it took to prevail over Obama's Vice President and the senior Senator from Vermont. And Joe Biden, one week after his dominant Super Tuesday performance, has bested Senator Bernie Sanders again in the Michigan Democratic primary.
Will the demise of Bloomberg and his half-a-billion-dollar war chest silence the tinfoil hat brigade of Lefties? Unlikely. But we have seen a real-world lesson in the limits wealth and databases have to shift voter sentiment.

How Are These Coins Balanced On The Mug?
Even Doctor Who would have been impressed by this balancing act. Four normal UK coins (5-pence, 1-pence, 10-pence and 2-pence) were balanced end-on-end on the rim of a Doctor Who TARDIS mug. Pretty impressive.
What you see in the photograph is fact. There has been no post-processing of the photo to add in the coins. These four coins are actually balancing on the rim of the mug. But how?
Just trying to get the largest 2-pence coin to balance on the rim was nearly impossible, but then adding three more coins simply compounded the problem. We found that we needed some assistance, just like the Doctor.
There is a magnetic solution to the problem. As shown in the 2nd photograph, positioned just above the mug are two magnet blocks suspended on a non-magnetic plastic support. These Magnets are projecting a magnetic field down towards the mug and the coins. By firstly building up the coins on the underside of the magnets (in order of size), the group of four can then be pulled down onto the edge of the mug. At this point, there is still just enough magnetic field to attract the top 5-pence piece without pulling it up onto the bottom of the magnet. Also, the magnetic field induced in the top 5-pence coin is transferred down through all the coins so that they all attract and hold each other in place.
And then, we have produced a vertical tower of coins magically perched on the edge of the mug.
The science behind magnets and magnetism has fascinated people for centuries. Magnetism is used by many magicians to perform illusions. The coin balancing trick is an example.


" I think it's really up to you to prove to yourself that you do care enough for other in our community or even better, our world. I don't really believe in 'your country' or 'my country', i just know God put us all in the same planet called Earth to co-exist together. So, i think we owe it to each other to look out for one another regardless of age, gender or race."

Tissue engineering of cartilage with the use of chitosan-gelatin complex scaffolds
Wanyao Xia, Wei Liu, Lei Cui, Yuanchun Liu, Wei Zhong, Deli Liu, Juanjuan Wu, Chua Kien Hui, Yilin Cao
Chitosan has been shown to be a promising scaffold for various applications in tissue engineering. In this study, a chitosan-gelatin complex was fabricated as a scaffold by a freezing and lyophilizing technique. Chitosan's structure and characteristics are similar to those of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and its analogs, and possesses various biological activities, whereas gelatin can serve as a substrate for cell adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation. With the use of autologous chondrocytes isolated from pig's auricular cartilage and seeded onto the chitosan-gelatin scaffold, elastic cartilages have been successfully engineered at the porcine abdomen subcutaneous tissue. After 16 weeks of implantation, the engineered elastic cartilages have acquired not only normal histological and biochemical, but also mechanical properties. The tissue sections of the engineered elastic cartilages showed that the chondrocytes were enclosed in the lacuna, similar to that of native cartilage. The presence of elastic fibers in the engineered cartilages was also demonstrated by Vehoeff's staining, and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the presence of type II collagen in the engineered cartilages. Quantitatively, the GAG in the engineered cartilages reached 90% of the concentration in native auricular cartilage. Furthermore, biomechanical analysis demonstrated that the extrinsic stiffness of the engineered cartilages reached 85% of the level in native auricular cartilage when it was harvested at 16 weeks. Thus, this study demonstrated that the chitosan-gelatin complex may serve as a suitable scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering.

Der Arbeitskreis der Leiter wissenschaftlicher Rechenzentren (ALWR) war von 1972 bis 1995 ein selbstverwaltetes Gremium für die Kooperation der Rechenzentren an Universitäten und Technischen Hochschulen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Der ALWR war Vorläufer und Initiator des Vereins Zentren für Kommunikation und Informationsverarbeitung in Lehre und Forschung (ZKI-Verein).

Der Arbeitskreis
Rechenzentren in Universitäten und Technischen Hochschulen sind seit Mitte der 1950er Jahre nach und nach entstanden, im Allgemeinen als Universitäts- bzw. Hochschulrechenzentren bezeichnet. Gegründet zunächst für den Betrieb nur eines einzigen Großrechners für Forschung und Lehre entwickelten sich ihre Aufgaben ab den 1980er Jahren weiter bis zur Bereitstellung der Hochschulnetze sowie vielfältiger und weitreichender Dienste für Kommunikation und Informationsverarbeitung.

Der ALWR ist am 16. März 1972 bei einem Treffen von Rechenzentrumsleitern in Frankfurt/Main ins Leben gerufen worden. Er hat anschließend i. d. R. zweimal pro Jahr an wechselnden Orten getagt. Am 27. September 1995 wurde er auf seiner 50. Sitzung in Aachen aufgelöst. Zuvor war am 9. Juni 1993 in Berlin der ZKI-Verein gegründet worden, in den die meisten Mitglieder des ALWR wechselten.

Zum Zweck des Arbeitskreises heißt es in der Satzung von 1975: "Der ALWR befasst sich mit Fragen, die für wissenschaftliche Rechenzentren von Interesse sind und gibt dazu Stellungnahmen ab. Er fördert den Informationsaustausch und die Lösung gemeinsamer Aufgaben und unterstützt die Kooperation zwischen Rechenzentren". Darunter fielen z. B. Themen wie Aufgaben, Struktur und Organisation von Rechenzentren, der erforderliche Personalbedarf, Auswahlkriterien von Rechenanlagen, öffentliche Fördermittel und Beschaffungsverfahren, Datensicherheitsmaßnahmen und Datenschutzbestimmungen, Verbund von Rechnern, Arbeitsplatzrechner für Studierende und Wissenschaftler sowie Strategien für den DFN-Verein.

Der ALWR war ein überschaubares Gremium mit bis zu 65 Mitgliedern, der ein effektives Arbeiten ermöglichte, Detailfragen wurden in Kommissionen behandelt. Nach der Wiedervereinigung nahm die Anzahl der Mitglieder stark zu, weil in der DDR nicht zwischen Universitäten und Fachhochschulen unterschieden wurde; hinzu kam, dass die Rechenzentren der Fachhochschulen zu diesem Zeitpunkt eine eigenständige Kooperation wie im ALWR anstrebten. Um das Nebeneinander zweier weitgehend gleichartiger Verbände zu verhindern, wurde im ALWR eine neue Kooperationsform entwickelt, die in die Gründung des ZKI-Vereins mündete, der dann alle Rechenzentren an Universitäten, Fachhochschulen und öffentlichen Forschungseinrichtungen in Deutschland umfasste.

Für die Aufarbeitung der Geschichte der Rechenzentren in Forschung und Lehre sowie ihre Kooperation wurden die Unterlagen aus dem ALWR und dem ZKI-Verein als Quellen genutzt.

Anwendergruppen
Der ALWR kannte keine Substruktur, in deren Rahmen Mitarbeiter der Rechenzentren hätten kooperieren können. Für die Mitarbeiter gab es jedoch die Möglichkeit, in Anwendergruppen mit Kollegen aus anderen Rechenzentren, insbesondere aus Wirtschaft, Industrie und Behörden Erfahrungen auszutauschen. In diesen Gruppen, die anfangs ausschließlich an den Großrechner-Typen ausgerichtet waren, ging es darum, frühzeitig von den Herstellern Informationen über geplante Entwicklungen von Hardware und Software, einschließlich deren Kosten, zu erfahren und ggf. Einfluss darauf zu nehmen.

Weitere Kooperationen
Nach Gründung des ALWR sind ab Mitte der 1970er Jahre auch in den einzelnen Bundesländern Arbeitskreise eingerichtet worden, die im Allgemeinen bis heute existieren. Schließlich sind Hochschulen Ländersache, und da macht es Sinn, durch Kooperation Synergieeffekte zu nutzen. Typische Themen waren u. a. der Aufbau landesweiter Rechnerverbünde, die Erstellung landesweiter DV-Pläne, die Beschaffung landesweiter Software-Lizenzen, die Einrichtung und Finanzierung landesweiter Netze sowie der gemeinsame Betrieb von Hoch-/Höchstleitungsrechnern (Supercomputern).

Beispielhaft genannt seien der ALWR in Baden-Württemberg (ALWR-BW) und der Arbeitskreis der Rechenzentren in Bayern (BRZL); in Niedersachsen hat sich der Niedersächsische ALWR zum Landesarbeitskreis Niedersachsen für Informationstechnik (LANIT) entwickelt, in Hessen der informell arbeitende Arbeitskreis zum ZKIhessen. In NRW mit seinen vielen Hochschulen sind ausgehend vom Landes-Arbeitskreis der Rechenzentrumsleiter (ARNW) unter dem Stichwort "Innovation Nordrhein-Westfalen" mehrere Gremien zur Weiterentwicklung, Förderung und Steuerung der Informationstechnik (IT) entstanden, zwischen denen intensive Wechselwirkungen und personelle Verschränkungen bestehen.

Eine bundesweite Kooperation der Fachhochschulen im Bereich der Datenverarbeitung hat es vor 1993 nicht gegeben. Rechenzentren waren dort wegen der empfohlenen Dezentralisierung oft nicht vorhanden. In einigen Bundesländern gab es jedoch eine begrenzte, regional organisierte Zusammenarbeit.

Die Intensivierung der Zusammenarbeit von Bibliotheken und Rechenzentren bei der Informationsversorgung der Hochschulen stand ab Anfang der 90er Jahre auf der Tagesordnung des ALWR, später auf der des ZKI-Vereins. Diese Aktivitäten haben zur Gründung der Deutschen Initiative für Netzwerkinformation (DINI) beigetragen.

In this paper, I would like to report on my job experience as a business consultant in Japan. In 2001, I worked in a corporate main-system implementation project in a Japanese traditional chemical company. That project was made up by 4 teams (Accounting, Budgeting, Production control, and Procurement) and each team had about 10 or 12 staff, and it totaled around 50 people. (Fig. 1)I was assigned in Production control team and functioned as a progress management staff. In the project, there had a weekly-meeting to discuss challenges and to check progress of each team. Attendants of the meeting were a project-leader, team-leader and sub-team leader from each team.
One day, three team leaders (accounting, budgeting, and production control) reported that all things were going well as usual, but only procurement team-leader reported differently. He said that his team could not complete their tasks within their schedule demanded by the project, because they had trouble with coordination with their business partners and clients.
(In this project, procurement team had to contact with their suppliers and clients about their new transaction flow.) Therefore, he requested that more staff should be allocated to his team, or schedule should be arranged for them. But regarding this issue, most attendants of other three teams (Accounting, Budgeting, Production control) insisted that procurement team should tackle with the trouble by current resources and should get done within current schedule, because they (three team leaders) did not want to be affected by such changes and also did not have any interests in other team's trouble. Therefore, although he explained the difficulty of coordination with partners and clients many times, most attendants continued to oppose his request. Eventually, project leader respected the majority opinion and he concluded that procurement team should work harder towards the objective.
Then, procurement team sometimes caused a delay in the progress of whole-project, and it made project's atmosphere worse. A few months later, when due date of the project came, they could not implement the system and the project failed. Eventually, top management made a decision to replace the project leader for the failure, and new project leader came. The person who came had been ordered directly by top management to pull together the project quickly, and it was his mission. First of all, he briefly checked current situation by hearing each team leader and gathered information about the project. After that, he ordered them to define clear goal for each working levels such as project level, team level, and individual level. Then, he requested all members to understand this concept well. Furthermore, he tried to change the climate of project more fair-minded and more energetic. Two month later, as a result of his effort, main-system was implemented successfully and project was closed.
Through this precious experience, I learned two important things in the decision making process which affected the result. First, leadership can affect dramatically to performances and results of team. Second, group-decision making sometimes falls into wrong direction.
When projects faced its problem (procurement team's trouble), the former leader did not give any comments or suggestions to their members. He just easily bowed political pressure by majority. I illustrated his decision making process in Fig. 2. It shows steps which he took in the project. On the other hand, new leader strongly guided all members to the right direction by setting clear goal, making a rule, and leading them. I think that it is really incumbent on all leaders to pursue group's goals, involve others, and motivate them. Additionally, his decision making process was distinctly better than predecessor's one. I also illustrated his decision making process in Fig.3. It demonstrated that he followed rational-model decision approach in the project. Of course, in business world, we sometimes have to make on-the-spot decisions by intuitive-model or bounded rational model. But, if we have enough time, we should make a decision by rational-model, because it is usually more powerful and more efficient than other two models. Anyway, from this experience, I learned that quality of leader is so important to make a correct decision within team.
Additionally, I think we should not easily accept the opinion of the majority. Of course, I understand that group decision making process is sometimes very useful for us because we can share a lot of knowledge and can discuss issues or ideas with many people towards goals. But, group decision making sometimes ends up as a half-baked conclusion. In my career, I have experienced same situation several times. Also, in Residential Program ("Desert Survival"), as you know, I learned that group decision making sometimes tends towards riskier decisions.
Therefore, I assume that qualified leadership affects correct decision making of team, and group making decision sometimes causes negative effect to team. I think that these research areas related human behavior (i.e. leader versus follower, group versus individual, etc.) is so profound, but essential to managements. To test whether my assumption is a plausible or not, I would like to learn more about this area in years to come.

Мария Лукинична Осадчук (урожд. Карлаш; род. 24 ноября 1939, село Константинополь, Сталинская (сейчас Донецкая) область, УССР) — украинский языковед-германист, преподаватель, лексикограф, переводчик.

Биография
Родилась 24 ноября 1939 года в селе Константинополь Велико-Янисольского (сейчас Велико-Новоселковского) района Сталинской (сейчас Донецкой) области в многодетной семье. Отец, Карлаш Лука Саввич, ветеринарный фельдшер, специалист по коневодству для армии, — участник Великой Отечественной войны, погиб на фронте в сентябре 1943 года на подступах к Харькову. В начале войны семья решила эвакуироваться, но непредвиденные обстоятельства задержали в дороге, особенно при переправе через реку Дон, а переправиться через реку Волгу в районе Сталинграда уже не удалось и поэтому семья вынуждена была остаться в степях Сталинградской области. С октября 1941 по январь 1944 года мать с детьми находилась в Сталинградской и Ростовской областях (хутор Юдин, станица Милютинская). В конце 1944 года мать с детьми вернулась на Украину, в село Нескучное Донецкой области, где прошло послевоенное детство Марии. Сначала жили в школьном классе, а затем получили однокомнатную квартиру в учительском доме, где и проживали всей семьей до 1985 года. Мать, Карлаш Евдокия Ивановна, работала учительницей младших классов.

С 1946 по 1956 год Мария Карлаш училась в Нескученской средней школе. Школа была основана известным народным просветителем Николаем Александровичем фон Корфом, а после его смерти школу опекала его дочь Екатерина Николаевна фон Корф, жена Владимира Ивановича Немирович-Данченко. Поступить в институт в г. Донецке сразу после окончания средней школы не удалось и, чтобы заработать необходимый двухлетний трудовой стаж и денежные средства на дальнейшую учебу, поехала работать на шахту. Два года работала откатчицей в Донецком строительном шахтопроходческом управлении «Шахтоспецстрой» на шахте Белицкая и шахте № 10 имени Челюскинцев. Трудилась на проходке вертикальных стволов, как и все, работала в четыре смены.

В Киев Карлаш приехала в 1958 году; успешно сдала вступительные экзамены в институт и была зачислена студенткой Киевского государственного педагогического института иностранных языков (сейчас Киевский национальный лингвистический университет), факультет немецкого языка. Во время учëбы в институте иностранных языков вместе с другими студентами Мария Карлаш читает в оригинале произведения Й. Гëте, Г. Гейне, Ф. Шиллера, Э.-М.-Ремарка, Т. Шторма, Л. Фейхтвангера, Т. Манна, Джека Лондона, Марка Твена, П. Абрахамса, Г. Грина и многих других, так как за неделю нужно было прочесть и сдать 50 страниц иностранного художественного текста. На лекциях студентов знакомили с украинскими писателями, демонстрировались иностранные фильмы, еще не дублированные и не вышедшие на экраны Украины; выступали перед студенческой молодежью писатели Олесь Гончар, Наталья Забила, Павел Загребельный, Юрий Збанацкий, Оксана Иваненко, Максим Рыльский, Михаил Стельмах, Ирина Стешенко и др. На третьем курсе, в 1961 году в числе пяти лучших студентов Карлаш приняли на работу переводчиком немецкого языка в Интурбюро при Всесоюзном Совете по туризму и экскурсиям (г. Москва). В 1971 году в г. Киеве было создано Украинское республиканское интурбюро по работе с иностранными туристами из социалистических стран: ГДР, Польши, Болгарии, Венгрии, Монголии. С группами немецких туристов из Германской Демократической Республики (ГДР) побывала во многих местах Советского Союза: Москва, Киев, Тбилиси, Брест, Ялта, Пятигорск, Эльбрус, ледник «Алибек», озеро Рица на Кавказе, Военно-Грузинская дорога, Военно-Сухумская дорога и др. Переводчиком в Интурбюро в летнее время работала до 1979 года включительно.

В 1963 году окончила институт, получив специальность учителя немецкого и английского языков. Непродолжительное время (1963—1965) по назначению работала учительницей в средней школе с. Хоцки Переяслав-Хмельницкого района Киевской области. Затем (1965—1966) работала преподавателем на кафедре иностранных языков Киевского технологического института пищевой промышленности (г. Киев). C марта 1966 года жизнь Марии Осадчук связана с городом над Бугом — Винницей: работала преподавателем, старшим преподавателем, доцентом кафедры иностранных языков Винницкого политехнического института (сейчас Винницкий национальный технический университет). В 1984 году окончила аспирантуру в Институте языковедения им. А. А. Потебни Академии наук УССР (сейчас НАН Украины). В 1985 году защитила кандидатскую диссертацию по германистике на тему: «Немецкие терминологические неологизмы в области радиоэлектроники» под руководством известного профессора Ю. А. Жлуктенко. 1985—1998 — зав. кафедрой иностранных языков Винницкого национального технического университета; 1998—2008 — зав. кафедрой филологии Винницкого института региональной экономики и управления (сейчас Винницкий финансово-экономический университет). 2009—2015 — профессор на кафедре экономических и гуманитарных дисциплин. В 1988 присвоено ученое звание доцента; 1998 — ученое звание профессора филологии; 1999 — ученая степень доктора философии в филологических науках.

Усовершенствование квалификации
 В летний период 1977 года изучала германистику на Международных курсах германистов в Техническом институте города Карл-Маркс-Штадт, ГДР (сейчас г. Хемниц, Германия). В 1981 (сентябрь-декабрь) училась на факультете повышения квалификации в Киевском национальном лингвистическом университете (г. Киев, Украина).
 В 1987 (февраль-июль) изучала германистику в Дрезденском техническом университете (Секция прикладного языкознания Института языков для специальных целей) (г. Дрезден, Германия). Здесь, в Дрездене для группы преподавателей немецкого языка политехнических институтов Советского Союза читали лекции по лингвистике языков для специальных целей высокопрофессиональные лингвисты, по краеведению, лекции и практику по компьютерному программированию, интенсивный курс по изучению английского языка.
 В летний период 1992—1998 посещала курсы разговорного английского языка, проводимые в Украине (г. Киев, г. Ирпень, г. Винница) преподавателями из США и Англии.
 В течение многих лет с 1991 года много переводила с немецкого и английского языков на русский и украинский языки научно-технической литературы и документации для вновь созданных совместных предприятий в г. Виннице и регионе, а также для таможни, и для государственных юридических офисов.

I love Lume's - the servers are great and knowledgeable. They cut their hash browns from real potatoes (no bag). Their omelettes are fantastic. Processes are clean and separate from any Gluten. I can't eat their GF pancakes as they contain Whey as I also have a dairy issue. However, I have never gotten sick here. There are times too where they make soups with no flour! Bonus! Truly one of my favorite places.
Server told me they cook the gluten free waffles on a separate waffle iron from the others. GF pancakes are cooked on the same grill as the others but they cook them on the opposite end to reduce contamination.
I love breakfast. Eating GF pancakes can be a chore. But I will BY CHOICE go to Lume's for breakfast or lunch just to eat their GF pancakes. A big Ole stack of em with chocolate chips : ) My brother and my mom agree, best GF pancakes around. And their omelets are good, too!
Lume's has great gluten-free pancakes, available to substitute for wheat pancakes with breakfast meals. The waffles are tasty too, but I prefer the pancakes.

New Design Studio So Far So Good Rebrands Plastic Free Fridays For Pivotal Plastic Reduction Campaign
August 11, 2020 Newsroom Advertising
New digital-first design studio So Far So Good (SF/SG) has unveiled its debut campaign with a radical brand redesign and social media campaign assets for grassroots movement Plastic Free Fridays.
SF/SG, which is part of the Be Optimistic Group, has revamped Plastic Free Fridays' brand logo, website and online assets, incorporating the colour pink to enable the cause to stand out in a sector saturated with palettes of blues and greens.
The rebrand leverages social storytelling and entertainment tactics to educate people and provide tangible solutions to the plastic crisis. SF/SG created a suite of Instagram templates, stories, and animated gifs that live within the Instagram platform to help Plastic Free Fridays bring the brand to life, while utilising trends like kinetic typography to boost engagement on social channels.
The new assets will be the cornerstones of a pivotal social media campaign by LA-based Plastic Free Fridays. The aim is to encourage people to eradicate single-use plastics from their daily consumption by first encouraging them to refuse single-use plastic products every Friday and then develop further changes in consumption patterns towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
With many aware of the issues created by the single-use plastics crisis but few directly affected by them, Plastic Free Fridays needed to tap into the social conscience of its followers and foster a movement to educate individuals and change behaviour at scale. SF/SG redesigned the brand to appeal to individuals of all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles while celebrating its existence as a young movement, built by young people.
Ben Harwood, Creative Director and Co-founder at So Far So Good said: "It has been amazing to work with such pioneers for good on such an important cause. The process has been collaborative and Plastic Free Fridays were open to experimental ideas and creativity. The values inherent in Plastic Free Fridays align strongly with our ethos to deliver insight-driven, digital-first branding for ethical start-ups and trailblazers."
Sierra Quitiquit – Co-founder and Chief Visionary at Plastic Free Fridays said: "Plastic Free Fridays started with the belief that everyone's actions matter. We are all living in a time of great change and evolution and we were keen to create a community built around positive impact, inclusivity, and action. Just over a year after our initial launch we are thrilled to have worked alongside So Far So Good to create a brand look that is as fresh and bold as our thinking. We look forward to a future geared towards progress, collective action and making the world a better place."
The campaign aims to encourage the avoidance of 2,500 metric tons of single-use plastics per year in the United States and has ambitions to raise awareness globally.
This is So Far So Good's debut campaign since its launch in November 2019 by founder and Creative Director, Ben Harwood who is also European Creative Director at Feed agency. Both So far So Good and Feed are part of the Be Optimistic Group.

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Novel Solid-State Nitride Materials)
Composite materials, which can optimally use the advantages of different materials, have been studied extensively. Herein, hybrid tungsten nitride and oxide (WN/WO3) composites were prepared through a simple aqueous solution route followed by nitriding in NH3, for application as novel sensing materials. We found that the introduction of WN can improve the electrical properties of the composites, thus improving the gas sensing properties of the composites when compared with bare WO3. The highest sensing response was up to 21.3 for 100 ppb NO2 with a fast response time of ~50 s at room temperature, and the low detection limit was 1.28 ppb, which is far below the level that is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) values (NO2: 20 ppm) defined by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). In addition, the composites successfully lower the optimum temperature of WO3 from 300 °C to room temperature, and the composites-based sensor presents good long-term stability for NO2 of 100 ppb. Furthermore, a possible sensing mechanism is proposed. View Full-Text
