Mold-FAQs
What is mold?
Molds are fungi and occur naturally in the environment. Many different species of mold exist in New Jersey. Molds can be found almost anywhere and can grow on just about any material as long as conditions are favorable. For growth, molds need nutrients such as oxygen and moisture and a material to grow on. Molds in the environment help break down dead materials and convert it back into organic matter to be used again by living organisms. Molds grow by digesting and destroying the material they grow on.
Molds grow in colonies. Visible mold growth may take on different forms and colors. Some molds may appear circular in growth while others may grow and spread to cover an area. Molds may appear brown or yellow in color or green and black. The appearance will depend on the species of mold present. Some common molds found indoors include species of Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium and Alternaria.
Molds reproduce by making spores. These spores become airborne and circulate in the air, both outside and inside of buildings. If spores land on a suitable material and conditions are favorable, the mold will begin to grow.
Why is mold a problem?
Molds become a problem when they grow inside of homes and buildings. Many building materials such as drywall, ceiling tiles and wood framing contain cellulose. Cellulose is a basic component of wood and is an excellent material on which molds can grow. As molds grow on building materials they become destructive. Molds may grow unnoticed, above ceilings, behind walls, in attics and basement or in crawl spaces. Molds can cause staining of walls and ceilings and can begin to break down the studs and joists of buildings causing extensive property damage.
Excessive moisture is a key ingredient for molds to grow. Excessive moisture may be caused by plumbing leaks, leaking roofs or windows, high humidity in the building, flooding or condensation inside walls due to poor insulation. Molds are also a concern because of the health problems that they have been shown to cause.
Is mold a health concern?
Mold can be a health concern. Unfortunately, it is not known how much mold is needed to cause health problems. Also, there are no standards, regulations or guidelines to base a health determination or exposure. However, there are factors that can be used to assess whether an increased health risk may be present. These include evaluating the individuals potentially exposed and the extent and conditions of the mold growth.
Some individuals who have pre-existing health conditions may be at an increased risk. Individuals who have allergies or lung conditions such as asthma or emphysema can exhibit health effects from exposure. Very young infants and the elderly may also be at an increased risk.
What are some of the health concerns?
Molds emit spores and chemicals as part of their normal life cycle. Individuals may exhibit reactions when exposed to these materials. Spores emitted by molds are microscopic and once airborne can be inhaled easily. Spores may contain allergens and can cause irritation in the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Common allergic reactions include sneezing, nasal congestion, coughing, and skin rashes. Molds may also trigger asthma attacks in persons who are allergic.
In addition to allergens, molds may emit microbiological volatile organic compounds (MVOC's). These chemicals usually have a strong and unpleasant odor and are associated with the musty smell that many individuals equate to mold being present. These chemicals are released into the air and when inhaled can also cause allergic reactions. MVOC's have also been linked to headaches, nausea, dizziness and fatigue.
Some molds may produce toxic substances called mycotoxins. Mycotoxins can be inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin. Mycotoxins are potent, toxic chemicals that can cause significant health problems.
Different molds may produce different mycotoxins and some molds may produce different mycotoxins depending on the surface on which they're growing. Mycotoxins can affect the central nervous system, the immune system, the respiratory system and the digestive system. Some molds may cause more sever reactions than other molds, so it's important that mold be remediated. For any severe exposures or health effects associated with a mold exposure, individuals should consult their physician.
How do I find out if there's mold in my home?
Identifying mold in your home should always begin with a thorough visual inspection. An inspection can be done by a homeowner or by a qualified environmental consultant. The inspection may be focused on specific areas where moisture has been seen, where flooding or water damage has occurred or in common areas known for mold growth such as basements, attics and crawl spaces. Stained or discolored areas of walls and ceilings that continue to increase in size or change colors can be signs of mold growth. A pungent musty smell is also an indicator of mold growth.
Should my home be tested for mold?
If a visual inspection reveals the presence of mold additional testing is not necessary. The focus should be on correcting any moisture problems and cleaning up the mold contamination. However, if mold is not found during a visual inspection and is still suspected of being present, additional testing may be necessary.
Testing for mold should always be performed by a qualified person. Your local Health Department may be able to assist or an environmental consultant who specializes in or has experience in evaluating mold contamination should be contacted.
Additional testing may include an evaluation of the relative humidity in the home and taking moisture readings of building materials in suspected areas. Swab testing of suspected surfaces and bulk samples of building materials may also be performed. Specialized air testing is also an option for identifying mold spores or MVOC's from mold growth. However, these specialized air tests can be very expensive and need to be conducted in context with an overall assessment plan. Caution should be taken when considering air testing since there are no standards for determining an acceptable level of mold in the air. Careful interpretation of air sampling results is also very important since individual susceptibility and health status varies. If air sampling is conducted, an outside reference sample should also be collected at the same time for comparison with the indoor samples.
What should I do if mold is found?
Corrective action and remediation steps need to be taken to address the mold conditions found. Remediation is necessary to prevent further property damage and prevent further exposures. Specific steps have been outlined by the USEPA to remediate mold contamination. These include identifying and correcting the source of moisture, removing and/or cleaning mold contaminated materials, removing the mold and ensuring the area is completely dry before performing any renovation or construction work. The USEPA also notes that it is important not only to kill the mold but to also clean it up since even dead mold remains allergenic.
Who performs this remediation work is not always clear. For small areas affected by mold growth (i.e., less than 10 square feet), a homeowner or building maintenance staff for apartments and condominiums may be capable of performing the work. Larger areas affected (i.e., more than100 square feet), should be performed by a qualified contractor who has experience in mold or environmental contamination clean up. Professional judgment should be used for affected areas that fall within these two dimensions. Mold work can be hazardous, so regardless of who performs the work, work practices that protect the workers as well as the occupants need to be used. Workers need to be protected with gloves, a respirator, protective clothing and goggles. Also, the work area may need to be contained to prevent the spread of mold to other areas.

Wabasha, MN (KROC AM News) - A Red Wing man was killed Tuesday when the motorcycle he was driving collided with a car in Wabasha County.
The Minnesota State Patrol says the victim was 48-year-old Daniel Syverson, who died at the scene. The car was driven by 53-year-old Jerome Miller of Lake City, who was not hurt. The deadly wreck happened around 5:45 p.m. on Highway 60 and Wabasha County Rd 3. The State Patrol says alcohol was not involved in the deadly wreck.
Distracted driving is cited as the reason for another crash involving a car and motorcycle in southeast Minnesota.
It happened in La Crescent around noon Tuesday. The State Patrol says 60-year-old Jeffrey Gruber of Maplewood was slowing his motorcycle to make a turn when it was hit from behind by a car. Gruber wasn't hurt but his wife who was riding with him suffered serious injuries. The driver of the car was 20-year-old Nicole Eidenschink of Kasson. According to the State Patrol report, she told police "she was distracted" and could not brake in time to avoid the rear-end collision.
A La Crosse man was hurt Tuesday night after hitting a deer with his motorcycle in Houston County. The State Patrol says 48-year-old Michael Peterson suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Yemeni Fishermen Hit Jackpot With $1.5 Million Find in Belly of Floating Sperm Whale Carcass
June 22, 2021 101 views0
BBC / YouTube
As anyone experiencing an inexplicable stroke of luck described it, "it was just one more day" for a group of poor Yemeni fishermen heading to the Gulf of Aden to earn a living.
But the lucky lady handed them a piece of precious ambergris, a unique substance found in the belly of sperm whales, in their hands when they came across a floating whale carcass.
For obvious reasons, the latest Good News Network story in which Yemen or Yemenis were the center of attention was published in 2011. But with this once-in-a-lifetime find of 35 Yemeni fishermen, the poorest country in the Middle East just got a little richer.
26 kilometers off the coast of the southern port city of Aden, a dead sperm whale was hooked to fishing boats and washed ashore. An inspection of the whale's interior revealed a 280-pound lump of "floating gold" or ambergris, a substance used to stabilize fragrances in perfumes.
Produced in the intestines of sperm whales, ambergris protects the lining of the intestines from the sharp beaks of squid that make up the majority of their diet.
Over time, it has also been used as a flavoring in spirits and coffee, and as incense in ancient China, Egypt, and elsewhere.

Al-Araby reports that an Emirati businessman bought the ambergris for $ 1.5 million, a sum of money unimaginable for most of the world's fishermen, let alone those from one of the world's poorest countries.
Also, while one might imagine that this story ends in tragedy or corruption considering the desperate state the country is in, the money was shared among the 35 men, who decided to give a portion to help their community.
"From one moment to the next, our lives changed," one of the fishermen, named Abdulhakeem, told AFP. "There are those who bought boats, others built or fixed their houses. I built my house; I built my future. "

"We are simple people: fishermen who look for our catch every day," Salim Sharf, another of the 35 lucky ones, told AFP. "If you found the catch of the day, thank God. Suddenly, the Merciful gave us this."
Quoting an old phrase, Abdulhakeem points out that for most men the sea and its bounty are better neighbors even than a king. For these lucky 35, that's certainly true.

Would You Hit It For $1000: Serena Williams Fishnet Water Buffalo Edition
Sam Robeson - January 23, 2019
This is a serious Would You Hit It that asks you weigh the importance of $1000. Not an insignificant amount of cash. But is it worth the hassle of wrangling a water buffalo in fishnets? Now we have a dialogue. A discourse. This Monday Serena Williams continued to be her discourse-ting self, boldly defying the taste standards of professional tennis by pouring herself into a roller derby getup that accentuated her ripped man body and hot dick.
Serena "The Rock" Williams was banned from wearing a Black Panther-in-a-bag Halloween costume during the French Open this past August, and ever since, has made it her mission to test the boundaries of dignity by wearing unexpected outfits to her matches. But Mrs. Bowflex doesn't understand that people don't hate her because of her fashion. And they don't hate her because she's a strong black woman either. Hell I went to the University of Tennessee, where the men's basketball team could have been outperformed by a post-mortem Air Bud. You can't go to UT and not have the utmost respect for talented women athletes of color like Chamique Holdsclaw and Tamika Catchings, because if nothing else, besides near-fatal frat guy butt chugging, they were the only people keeping our school on the damn map. Cartainly wasn't the academics. You've red my writing.
My point is that, contrary to whatever's going on in Williams' enraged roided out brain, people mostly hate her because she's - ugh how do I say this as my new woke af self - a fucking bitch? Hey I tried. So would you hit it? For $1000? And if not, what's your price?

Hugo Roger Martínez-Bonilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of El Salvador, addresses the general debate of the General Assembly's seventieth session.
"On the issue of migrants, he said El Salvador recognizes that this group is mentioned as a vulnerable one in the 2030 Agenda, adding that migrants also make an "undoubted contribution" to the development of the countries in which they live. In addition, he said El Salvador insists that the international community and organizations involved with migration, in particular the UN, guide actions to strengthen cooperation initiatives in the area of international migration.
"Meanwhile, Suriname was also represented at today's general debate by its Minister of Foreign Affairs, Niermala Badrising, who said climate change is high on the national agenda of his Government.
"He added that Suriname "can be regarded as quite special" since it is one of the few carbon negative countries in the world, noting that his Government looks forward to a new global agreement at COP-21[the climate change conference] in Paris, France, later this year.
"Minister Badrising also stressed that despite many positive developments over the last seven decades, the socioeconomic development and the existing social inequality in a number of regions remain "alarming," and that in his country's view, social and economic developments are interlinked and interdependent.
"In her address to the Assembly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Dominica, Francine Baron, spoke about the recent devastation caused by Tropical Storm Erika and also urged the international community to take action on climate change.
"Climate change, she said, is a major threat posed to our planet that has a disproportionately high impact on Small island developing states (SIDS).
"Our concerns have magnified since August 27, 2015," she said, noting that Tropical Storm Erika brought "up to 18 inches of rain in 16 hours" in Dominica, with rapid flash flooding and numerous landslides. Some 13 people have been confirmed dead and 17 are still missing as a result of the storm.
"She added that 90 per cent of Dominica's Gross Domestic Product had been wiped out, and World Bank estimates indicated a loss of $483 million in infrastructure.

Innovation awards project changes to the future of campus
By Katrina Kirsch
Photo by Katrina Kirsch
With just over a week since the first Waves of Innovation grants were awarded, the finalists face a new challenge — turning their ideas on paper into reality. Each idea had a three-year implementation plan prepared before the talks. Now, they must bring those large-scale changes to the campus and curriculum. For Founding Director for the Center for Sustainability Rhiannon Bailard, who received the largest grant for her proposal, this will be an extensive task as "The Eden Project" seeks to completely renovate a residence hall. Which hall this will be has yet to be determined. WIT is accepting applications until Sept. 15, 2014 for next year's talks.
The youngest presenter, freshman SueJie Oh, and her roommate freshman Jennifer Escoto designed "College Connections" to unite Pepperdine students and inner city Los Angeles high school students in a mentoring program. Oh shared her experience growing up in an area of Los Angeles that was accustomed to gangs, crime, poverty and a significant number of high school dropouts.
"They're not dropping out of school because they're not smart enough," Oh said. "College Connections" will provide LA students access to people who are willing to help. Since Pepperdine students have recently been through the college application process, Oh and Escoto said they believe they can be a great resource for high schoolers.
Applying to college is expensive, but "Connections" will show these students how costs can be cut by almost $1,000. Oh knows how much Pepperdine students enjoy giving back and believes there will be a positive response to the high schoolers. The first school that has agreed to partner with "College Connections" is Thomas Jefferson High. Oh and Escoto received a grant of $35,000 to help start the program.
"Center for Gameful Design"
Technology is becoming the new wave of education, a fact well-known by GSEP Adjunct Professor Mark Chen and GSEP doctoral student Victoria Stay. Their WIT talk revolved around the "Center for Gameful Design," an initiative to bring game-centered learning to post-secondary education. The plan focused on using games as an assessment tool for students, as well as providing researchers and game designers the chance to study gaming practices. Chen and Stay's energetic presentation won the audience-choice award of $500 and a $82,000 grant.
"Doctorate in Global Leadership"
Another WIT presentation that will be kept in mind for the future was "The Doctorate in Global Leadership Ph.D." by GSEP professor June Schmieder-Ramirez. This proposal sought to implement a Ph.D. in Global Leadership at the Washington, D.C. campus. Schmeider-Ramirez's "Circle of Life" video montage showed how the program would involve all five Pepperdine schools. Her mantra, "Why not?" was the basis for her idea.
"Biodegradable Plastics with Environmentally Friendly Catalysts"
Mirroring the "green" theme was Associate Professor of Chemistry Joe Fritsch with his plan to create "Biodegradable Plastics Prepared with Optimized, Environmentally Friendly Catalysts." Fritsch and his team have been incorporating natural elements like zinc, magnesium and aluminum into their plastics.
"No one else does magnesium and zinc," sophomore Reile Slattery, an undergraduate working alongside Fritsch, said. She said other materials used to make plastic cause much pollution. "It's not good to put tin into the ground," she said.
Besides having biodegradable cups around campus someday, Fritsch said in his presentation that this research may also spark "new patentable products," bringing a new level of innovation to the Natural Science Division. They were awarded a total of $69,300 to continue research.
Named by Distinguished Professor of Biology Stephen Davis, "The Eden Project" will use their $150,000 grant to bring together faculty, staff and students to expand the eco-conscious community at Pepperdine. The need for "green" is growing.
Bailard said in her talk that 7 out of 10 students now consider a college's sustainability before applying. Pepperdine has put certain eco-friendly efforts into effect, but there is much more that can be done to raise awareness and increase students active role in sustainability around campus.
The talk explained how students who live in the "green" transitioned residence hall will be surrounded by state-of-the-art retrofits, such as rooftop solar panels, a "green" cleaning plan and monitors that track energy usage. Bailard said the goal of the "The Eden Project" is for eco-conscious students to inspire other students, making sustainability "a part of who we are" at Pepperdine.
"Shipboard Education"
On the opposite end of the education spectrum, Dean of International Programs Charles Hall spoke of an idea to change the way future students will learn. His proposal, "Shipboard Education," would be an extension of what International Programs has to offer. Students would live, travel and learn on a ship, visiting port cities and developing countries around the world. Hall said he believes students have limited exposure to the developing world and "Shipboard" could provide an experiential learning environment. Although "Shipboard" did not receive a grant, President Andrew K. Benton said it may be revisited in the future.
"Designing a Curriculum and Delivery System for Next-Generation Executive Students"
A change to the curriculum will be seen through GSBM's Professor of Applied Behavioral Science Teri Tompkins proposal. Her idea received $83,000 in funding and will undertake the creation of a next-generation EMBA program. As online courses are offered at competitive universities across the globe, Tompkins' program aims to bring that technology to Pepperdine.
"Designing a Curriculum and Delivery System for Next-Generation Executive Students" will offer face-to-face online class sessions for students at Pepperdine, around the country and outside of the United States. Tompkins said the program will customize learning and give students access to cutting-edge topics, noting that "technology is changing education."
"Pepperdine Executive Preceptorial"
Continuing to seek education after leaving the college classroom is just as important, according to Professor of English Michael Ditmore and Associate Professor of Public Policy Ted McAllister. Their WIT proposal, the "Pepperdine Executive Preceptorial," was granted $26,400 and aims to unite a small group of professionals who strive for further educational stimulation.
The basis of this group would be "dialogue, exchange and connect," resembling a simple, old-school book club. Ditmore stressed the importance of intellectual intimacy in his presentation, saying the groups will focus on "mature, healthy, invigorated dialogue." Classic works would be read and thought-provoking conversation would follow. The program would also help strengthen ties with alumni who want to participate and revisit their college days.

Red Jet 7 Ahead of Schedule
14-11-2017 The construction of our second state-of-the-art high-speed passenger ferry, Red Jet 7 is rapidly taking shape at Wight Shipyard Co in East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. The £7m, 41 metre vessel is expected to enter the water ahead of schedule in May 2018.
The twin aluminium catamaran hulls are now easily recognisable inside the famous Union Jack branded Columbine building in East Cowes. The shell plating on the twin hulls is complete and welding work is underway in the hull void spaces, bulkheads and double bottoms. Once complete, the fuel and water tanks will be ready for installation.
As with Red Jet 6, the new vessel's superstructure and hulls are completed separately. The jig upon which the superstructure is built has now been laid in the building hall and prefabrication is underway. When complete, the passenger cabin will be lifted onto the hull and mounted on shock-absorbing resilient mounts to provide maximum passenger comfort.
Kevin George, Red Funnel's CEO, commented: "We are delighted the construction of Red Jet 7 is progressing so well, which is testimony to the highly skilled workforce at Wight Shipyard. We expect the sea trials and crew training to commence in June 2018 ahead of her official naming ceremony in Cowes in July."
Once named, Red Jet 7 will join sister ship Red Jet 6 and the Australian built Red Jet 4 on Red Funnel's flagship Southampton-West Cowes route. Red Jet 7 will increase passenger capacity by 51% which means the Hi-Speed Red Jet service can carry up to 825 passengers per hour in each direction at peak times of the year. This is significantly more than either of the cross-Solent routes serving Ryde and reinforces Southampton's position as the gateway to the Isle of Wight for customers travelling without a vehicle.
More information about Red Jet 7 and the progress made to date is available here.

WINSTED, CT--- -122515JS03--Joey Takeman, 16, left, and Jay Takeman, take advantage of the unseasonably warm temperatures and get in some fishing at Highland Lake in Winsted on Friday. Temperatures were in the high 50's to low 60's on Christmas Day. Joey Takeman was named Connecticut Youth Male Angler of the Year Award by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.


Were you ever that kid who dreamed of one day becoming the President of the United States? (I bet you were probably really annoying, too, weren't you.) But did you think it was impossible because you didn't look like the other Presidents? (To be fair, you probably didn't want to look like Taft.) Or because you came from an immigrant background?
Well, consider your childhood dream a viable possibility. In recent years, a record number of leaders has emerged from the Asian American community.
In the Pacific, you have people like US Rep. Mazie Hirono (D) of Hawaii. On the east coast, you have State Rep. William Tong (D) of Connecticut. Both Hirono and Tong are running for Senate seats this year. There's also New York City Comptroller John Liu, who was elected in 2009. On the west coast, there's Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, elected in 2010 and who has had something of an embattled  tenure. Most recently, San Francisco's mayoral race saw a number of Asian American candidates . Ed Lee eventually prevailed; his win, in particular, was attributed to the record number of the Asian American electorate  who turned out to vote for him.
In November 2011, USA TODAY reported that a record number of Asian Americans  are running for Congress this year. At least 19 candidates with an Asian American background have declared their bids for Congress in the 2012 election cycle -- up from only eight candidates in 2010. Additionally, a UCLA study recently found that we currently have more elected or appointed Asian American officials than ever before .
So hang onto that White House dream. There's no better time to act than now. According to the US Census Bureau , there are roughly 17.3 million residents of Asian descent in the US, which makes up about 5.6 percent of the population. Not only that, but we are also the fastest-growing minority population , growing 46 percent between the 2000 and 2010 censuses.
Combining that population growth with the burgeoning political activity, Asian Americans are poised to change the political landscape in a big way. When census statistics show that one in five Americans have close ties to immigrants , either being an immigrant themselves or have at least one parent who was one, it's increasingly necessary that our political leaders can reflect that immigrant perspective.
One of the upcoming trainings will be held in California. "There is quite an underrepresentation of Asian Americans in Southern California," she noted. "The Latino and Asian relations are super important here in California." To that end, the Project will be holding a conference in the Los Angeles on April 28 and 29. But this is by no means an Asian American-only initiative; there's an overall underrepresentation  of people of color in political office. More minority participation in politics benefits all minorities, not just one.
If you're interested in possibly entering the political fray and want some pointers, you can check out the conference schedule and get an application  on the New American Leaders website.
First Asian American President? 1600 Pennsylvania Ave might be closer than you think.


This 6 week lesson plan, with handouts included, walks through Wayne Muller's book, providing opportunity for discussion and reflection for a group of any size.
Scot McKnight is a world-renowned evangelist, author, blogger and speaker, who presented at Church of the Resurrection March 20, 2018 on the topic of his book, The Jesus Creed: Loving God, Loving Others. Dr. McKnight is the Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary and author of more than 50 books on Jesus, the New Testament and early Christianity. Churches and seminaries around the world use his books to help Christians better understand the New Testament. Suitable for youth and adult classes, this presentation of Dr. McKnight's unique perspective on Scripture will encourage and challenge you.


You may have heard the old saying "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." There is a lot of truth to that statement. Anyone who has made a bad first impression in a purely social setting will know that the repercussions can be great and long-lasting. In a professional environment – such as during a job interview or an annual performance review – the effect is often permanent.
It's no secret that those who are in the business of finding top talent and connecting them to employers who are hot to hire routinely tell their job-seeker talent base to "look professional, act professional, and get the job." It's therefore a bit of a shock to hear that human resources managers across a broad range of business industry types have come forward to say that half of recent college grad hires (a full 50%) do not know how to dress professionally or conduct themselves in a similar manner. Half!
So, in this first of a two-part series on creating and affecting a professional appearance, we'll begin by discussing proper attire.
When Jessica went on her first job interview a few years ago, she wore a suit, fixed her hair, applied an appropriate amount of makeup, put on very little perfume, and showed up ten minutes early to the interview. Jessica made sure her shoes were free of scuff marks and that her clothes were clean and ironed. She brought a crisp copy of her résumé, as well as a pad of paper and a pen for taking notes. When she arrived at the interviewer's office, she turned off her cell phone. Why did Jessica go to all the trouble prior to the interview? Because the economy was still experiencing a lot of difficulty, and she wanted a job. Guess what? Jessica got the job.
It would be easy to say that the economy and the jobs landscape have changed dramatically over the last decade – leaving many job seekers unemployed or under-employed. It would also be easy to say that those looking to get hired today need to put on their best professional appearance and show that they're the top candidate for the job. The need to look and act the part of a perfect candidate has never decreased. A professional presentation for an interview is a standard that dates back to the dawn of business. And it doesn't matter if the work environment or culture at the company for which you are interviewing is casual – as a not-yet-hired individual, you haven't earned the right to look casual and care-free!
Professional presentation encompasses many things. If you walk in the door holding a latte in one hand, a cell phone in the other, and with flip flops on your feet, it's likely you won't be the first call back for a second interview. When preparing for an interview, ask yourself the following: "How can I impress this person or company? What kind of employee are they hoping to hire?"
What you'll likely discover is that businesses of all types – from call centers to law offices – want to hire people that look and act and dress the part of the ideal employee – someone who is organized, determined, and capable. So, dress neat, make eye contact, give them a firm handshake, be prepared, don't use slang words, spit out your chewing gum, and do not bring your cell phone into the interview.

Raw Materials Used in Making Coats and Jackets
byOCS Team - July 06, 2020 0
A coat or jacket is an outerwear garment, worn on the upper body up to mid-stomach length for warmth or insulation or fashion. Coats typically have full sleeves and are open down the front, generally closed by means of buttons, zippers. In this article, we will share a list of raw materials used for making coats (for men or women).

2. Fabrics for Lining material
The lining of the coat or jacket retains its shape and provides an inner layer of extra insulation. It also provides a softer layer between the wearer and any coarse materials so that the coat/jacket is more comfortable. There are different weights of lining from lightweight to heavyweight, and most contain polyester, silk or satin or a mix of the three. As a result, the jacket lays nicely over the contours of the body.

Different types of lining fabrics available as the followings.
2.1 Silk linings: These are perhaps the most comfortable to wear, but also more expensive than synthetic linings.
2.2. Bemberg Silk is a high-quality synthetic material that is cheaper than natural silk, but more expensive than other synthetics.
2.3. Acetate is a crisp fabric but lacks durability.
2.4. Rayon lasts longer than acetate, but not as long as polyester. Linings made from polyester last long hardly breathe.
3. Interlinings
It can be used to protect fabrics, especially those used in drapes and consequently often exposed to direct light. Delicate fabrics like silk and velvet can suffer from sun damage if hung with a liner alone, and most drapers recommend the use of an interlining for the life of the fabric. Interlinings are materials that are fused or sewn to specific areas on the inside of garments or garment components. They may provide shape, support, stabilization, reinforcement, hand, and improved performance for garments.

A sex platform like OnlyFans is a fantastic way for Queer, Trans, BIPOC, and other sex workers to earn a steady income while providing an outlet for healing, affirmation, and acceptance. However, while this type of platform can be a huge success, many of these workers are not able to occupy certain positions of power.
Queer, trans, BIPOC sex workers find success on the platform
OnlyFans has become an important source of income for many sex workers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are turning to online sex work as a means of surviving. In addition, onlyFans offers a safe space to promote sex work.
The site aims to provide fans with exclusive access to their favorite creators. For a subscription fee, consumers receive pornographic content and one-on-one live video chats with the creators. This has led to millions of dollars being made by celebrities and influencers on the platform. But while the company boasts a large market share, it's not without its flaws.
The site has been criticized for its vetting procedures. It requires creators to have government IDs, face scans, and bank accounts. Some creators have said that the process is too rigorous and that it's causing them to drop out of the industry.
The site is also accused of glamorizing the sex work industry. Many sex workers are worried about the site's intentions.
The company's pitch deck paints a picture of a cash-rich company
A new startup, OnlyFans, is offering users something they don't get from their Facebook and Twitter feeds. This company offers a subscription service for content creators and fans. They also offer security features to make sure their users' data is safe. The pitch deck for OnlyFans shows the company has some cash to spare.
Not only is the company doing a good job attracting subscribers and creating content, but they're also able to do it with minimal overhead. As of last year, they had a few dozen employees, and about two million dollars in assets.
One of the biggest reasons for the company's success is the fact that it makes it easier for people to interact with their favorite content creators. Their website and app allow you to send messages, track your activity, and get updates. It even allows you to add a Spotify or Amazon wish list to your profile.
In addition to all the other cool stuff, they have a great team. CEO Tim Stokely is a co-founder of the social networking site Friendly to Sex Workers. He also served as the company's COO and Head of Finance. His father, Guy Stokely, is also involved in the company.
Sex workers have been unable to occupy certain positions of power
OnlyFans, an online platform for sex workers, has grown exponentially in recent months. The company has 24 million registered users, and claims to have paid out $725 million to 450,000 content creators.
In the past, OnlyFans has tried to distance itself from its porn-oriented reputation, stating it would ban sexually explicit content. However, the company walked back its position days later.
Now, Bella Thorne, the social-media influencer, has created a creator account on the site. Her debut earned $2 million in a week, breaking OnlyFans' previous records. Despite making obscene amounts of money, Thorne failed to mention the plight of sex workers.
OnlyFans is only one of many online creator platforms. Some, like ManyVids, are explicitly welcoming sex workers, while others, like JustForFans, are not.
With the passage of the Stop Online Sex Trafficking Act (SESTA) and the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), legislative efforts have increased platform liability. This has affected sex workers, especially those who are also AOPs.
Sex workers are mediums to healing, affirmation, and acceptance
OnlyFans is a subscription-based social media site for people who are interested in sexual content. It has 130 million members. However, sex workers have been troubled by the popularity of the platform, as it has led to a wide range of challenges and concerns.
One of the biggest questions is whether sex work has been criminalized in some countries. Moreover, sex workers have been criticized for their work in the media. In some cases, they are called "self-debasement for profit."
The popularity of OnlyFans has also made the issue of whorephobia more prominent. A recent poll showed that nearly seventy percent of sex workers would like to see OnlyFans shut down. Another major concern is how new sex workers can be safe. Some experienced sex workers worry about how a new generation of sex workers might spread whorephobia.
The popularity of OnlyFans has also increased the demand for digital content by sex workers. Sammy Rei Schwarz, for example, is a virtual domina, a type of sex performer that specializes in giantess play. He started an OnlyFans account in December.


The SS Yongala is a world-renowned wreck dive about 48 miles south of Townsville. The 350 ft (107 m) luxury liner Yongala disappeared during a 1911 cyclone and the wreck was not discovered until 1958. The site now is protected under the Australian Historic Shipwrecks Act, and boats must have a permit to visit, so we booked a day trip with Adrenalin Dive.
The dive boat leaves from the Breakwater Marina, about a 20-minute walk from where we were moored at the Townsville Yacht Club, so we loaded our gear into our folding cart and walked over. Adrenalin did a great job of getting us to the dive site and back, and managing the dives. They were carrying close to a full load but the boat didn't feel at all crowded. Guided dives are available, and independent dives are allowed for experienced divers. We chose to dive independently and the other divers on board were a mix of both.
The diving was fantastic–the hundred-year-old wreck is encrusted with corals and surrounded by huge schools of fish. The wreck lies in about 100 ft (30m) of water, with the top about 50 ft (16m) below the surface, so we were able to do two fairly long dives without slipping past decompression limits.
The pictures below show highlights from the dives, and the 5-minute video at the bottom of the post shows a pass along the hull from the amidships to the stern and gives a real feel for quality and quantity of the underwater life and a good view to the wreck itself. Each time we watch the video, we're reminded of what an exceptional dive it was.
On a good day the Yongala has to be one of worlds very best dive sites!
Marco, you are so right. The Yongala is a real treat. The combination of good clean current and ample area to support coral with plenty of bright sunlight and lots of places for fish life to hide makes it a unique diving experience. Thanks to Rick MacClure of the Gold Coast who was the first to tell us about the Yongala and describe it was a must dive location.

Extending over four kilometers, the city walls that have protected Kotor for centuries lead up to the fortress of Saint Ivan.

Whether on the water cruising Boka Bay, walking along the promenades on the waters edge, or, driving up the Horseshoe bends heading to Mt Lovcen every view is breathtaking. It is worthwhile covering all the angles if time permits as the memories & photos will live with you forever. Truly a magnificent city in a unique & 'hidden gem' of a country ( Montenegro ). When I think back that this was just tacked on as a side trip to our Croatian tour - with a ??? really? response - Kotor & Mt Lovcen were highlights of our 5 weeks awy in the Adriatic.
2. Viewing Point at the Road Kotor-Lovcen
Lovcen National Park, Kotor, Kotor Municipality 85330 Montenegro
Reviewed By SteveTrb - Greater London, United Kingdom
We travelled from the Cetinje end of the road having visited the mausoleum in Lovcen National Park. Not sure that previous reviews have stressed enough the impact of the roadworks on quite a long stretch of the road - 10km or so, we would guess. So, the views are absolutely fantastic, the hairpins are ok even if you do meet cars coming the other way, but if you do have a hire car, be prepared to drive very slowly and manoeuvre your path across the smallest of the ruts in the road. There isn't a proper tarmac surface at all for pretty much all of that distance, and we scraped the bottom of the car on several occasions in between queuing along with other cars waiting for lorries to be loaded with rubble by JCBs to clear the way. My view is that you shouldn't let this put you off - we made it, after all. You can see from the pictures posted how amazing the views are as well. I'm speaking as the driver of the car, however. When my wife and I discussed whether we'd do it again knowing what the road was like, I said yes, she said no ! By the way, the Mausoleum in Lovcen was well worth a visit and you get to see some great views of practically the whole of Montenegro, especially if you pay the €3 to get to the Mausoleum itself and walk up to the viewing point.
3. Piazza of the Arms
Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom
This lovely and wide open square translated as Town Square is the first site that greets you as you walk through the gate into the Old Town. The Squares main feature is the Clock Tower, which speaks for itself and would I am sure make a great meeting place. I always travel alone so have no need for that. The Square though nevertheless makes a great place from which to get your bearings. The Old Town is pretty compact and it is difficult to get lost in here - small streets branch off from this main square in all directions. It is lined with the usual array of tourist shops with a few banks and some wonderful cafes serving delightful iced coffee sundaes. Perfect for relaxing on a warm early summers day.
4. City Walls
Reviewed By IN_Travelers47906 - West Lafayette, United States
Kotor's city walls are formidable and provide excellent examples of fortress structures. They remind me of the Great Wall of China as they uniquely wind their way up the mountain behind Kotor's Old Town to the Church of Our Lady of Health and beyond, offering an excellent view of Kotor and beyond.
5. Kotor Old City
Stari grad, Kotor, Kotor Municipality 85330 Montenegro
Reviewed By Basia_Poznan - Poznan, Poland
Kotor is said to be one of very few survived Medieval towns untouched by wars. It is squezed between the sea and the mountain and is all contained within the town walls streaching up the steep hill. It looks like the Great Chinese Wall with a town inside and belongs to UNESCO heritage list. This Old Town contains everything history lover can imagine: old houses, narrow streets, small squares, and yards, catholic and orthodox churches dating back to 9th and 11th centuries, lapidarium, town hall clock etc. And something one can't escape in such places: souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants and craft shops, but also hostels, travel offices and museums and art exhibitions. But what is most exciting: you can climb along the city walls up to the castle on the top! The really unforgettable experience! I'd advice to take decent shoes as the steps are slippery and the route is quite exhausting. But the feeling and the view to the Kotor Bay - exceptional!!!
6. St. Nikola Church
Trg Sv. Nikole Stari grad bb, Kotor, Kotor Municipality 85330 Montenegro
Get the right angles & this Church becomes the Iconic Kotor Old Town image ... especially with the mountains, the incredible Wall fortifications & Our Lady Of Remedy Chapel sitting like a bird in the distance. The gold shines quite majestically in the sun & presents an aura that I'm sure was not coincidental.
7. St. Tryphon Cathedral
Trg Sv. Tripuna 336, Kotor, Kotor Municipality 85330 Montenegro +382 32 322 315
This Cathedral is hard to miss as any walk around the Old Town will inevitably take you to St Tryphon Square & this building. Although suffering damage in earthquakes - hence the spires are not identical - it has been rebuilt in the original Romanesque style of 1166 when it was consecrated. Interior has magnificent frescoes & of course plenty of gilt religious artifacts. On the mountain side of St John, built into the fortifications, is a chapel "Our Lady of Remedy" ... how easy it is to visit I can't personally tell you! The word is 'tough'.
8. Maritime Museum

If your interested in the history of Kotor then this is a must do. Pretty cheap fee 4 euro and audio guides are available if you want them. The display of weaponry is quite fascinating and the model ships intricate and cool. Not too sure about the warrior replica? Definitely a place to visit whilst in Kotor.
9. Cats Museum
Trg Svete Gospe od Andela Stari Grad 371, Kotor, Kotor Municipality 85330 Montenegro +382 69 628 536 [email protected] http://www.catsmuseum.org/
Cats Museum was founded in 2013. It is located in the middle of the Old town of Kotor, in the area of the antique monastery of Our lady of Angels, which belonged to the nuns of Santa Clara. This area, currently open to the public, used to be an antique refectory, unfortunately unrecognizable due to numerous reconstructions which followed after the abolition of the religious community. The biggest part of the Museum's collection comes from Venice, more precisely from the fund of the International Centre for Adopting Cats "Badoer" enriched by the substantial donation from countess Francesca Montereale di Mantica. The exhibition contains engravings (XVI-XIX c), antique books (XVI-XIX c), coins, medals (XIX -XX c), illustrated postcards (1891-1950), greeting cards, old photographs, cinematographic posters, sheet music, records, old advertisements, various objects, stamps, etc. One big section is dedicated to the Cat exhibitions before the First World War as well as to the children through the most common school items: notebooks, infant books, etc. The museum's goal is that, through the cat as the most common pet, the public gets a message of respect for the environment and the nature, each day more and more threatened by men. On request, The Museum organizes traveling exhibitions in various European countries and within its possibilities constantly buys pieces that can enrich its collection. Furthermore, the museum is available to host exhibitions featuring the works of contemporary artists who are interested to organize their art events in Kotor. A certain percentage from its income is spent on buying food for the street cats.

…But a supervisor suggested that gaining first-hand research experience might make her a better communicator. Today, she sells workshops to companies, schools and universities and teaches science to Sunday-school students at a private academy in Tokyo.
Smriti Mallapaty catches up with her to learn more.
After completing my undergraduate degree in microbiology, I was undecided about whether to enrol in a mass communication programme or join a media company. The head of my lab presented a convincing case for me to stay in school — that to move people with science, I needed to have a more intimate knowledge of the philosophy — the way of thinking — of science. So I decided to join his laboratory.
What did you enjoy the most about being a researcher?
I was working in a small lab in a private Japanese university studying a tiny protein in heat-loving bacteria. At an international conference I met lots of researchers working on thermophiles who talked about their research as if it was the most fun and exciting subject ever. Science gave me access to a whole new world.
Why did you leave the lab?
Research can be very lonely. I wanted to be able to share and exchange knowledge with other people. Most PhD students in Japan begin job hunting after their first year. While searching for science communication companies, I came across Leave a Nest, a company run by former doctorate and graduate researchers aimed at bridging the gap between industry, science and society. I joined as an intern for one year. After I finished my PhD in 2013, I applied for a full-time position with Leave a Nest.
How did you convince Leave a Nest to hire you?
I told them a story. While working as chief editor of someone [a Japanese-language science magazine], I wanted to publish a special feature on the oceans. But a magnitude-9 earthquake and powerful tsunami had just hit off the coast of Tohoku in March 2011, and a lot of people suggested I change the focus of the feature. I disagreed. I didn't want children to be traumatised by the sea. Instead I wanted to offer them hope, so my article about scientific deep-sea mysteries was published. Soon after, I received a letter from a student in Tohoku who told me that reading it had really helped him get through the difficult period.
What is your current role at Leave a Nest?
As general manager of the Human Resource Development Division I organize workshops for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to help them communicate complex scientific subjects as well as come up with innovative business ideas. We also connect trainees with industry representatives. For example, I recently brought a group of Japanese students to Silicon Valley to pitch their ideas to venture capitalists and business incubators.
I visit several companies a day to sell workshops until I have secured about ten projects, which I take to completion. At weekends I teach science to elementary school students at our Sunday school. I teach a doctoral course on thermophiles to children — I collect samples from hot springs across Japan, and we culture them together, screening for any undiscovered thermophiles.
Was your PhD important to the work you do now?
Yes, absolutely. I use my lab skills every Sunday at the children's school. Also, when meeting potential clients who are researchers, I can connect with them at a scientific level by sharing my own story. More importantly, I apply the research cycle to help companies identify social problems and innovate.
What advice would you give to other PhD students?
A PhD isn't just about becoming an expert in a specific subject and acquiring lots of information. The skills and experiences gained during the programme can be used to solve entirely different problems. Don't hesitate to get out of the lab.

Cozy Mystery News – November 2018
Here's the month's Cozy Mystery news for November, 2018! There's a fair amount of it this month, which is always good news itself!
First, Kathleen Bridge will be writing at least two more in her By the Sea Mystery Series, extending the series about Liz Holt, worker at a family owned inn on Melbourne Beach, Florida, to at least five entries. She also writes the Hamptons Home & Garden Mystery Series, starring a former home and garden writer in the Hamptons.
Next, Frances Brody has released some details on A Snapshot of Murder, slated to be the 10th in the Kate Shackleton Mystery Series, starring a WWI widow in a small village in England in the 1920s. In this entry, Kate will need to go to a recently opened museum to investigate the death of one of the seven photographers who was attending the opening.
Vickie Fee will be starting a new mystery series, the Movie Palace Mystery Series, which will likely have at least three entries. The first entry in the series will be named My Fair Latte, and the series will star the owner of an old movie theater. Fee is already the author of the Liv and Di in Dixie Mystery Series, starring party planner Liv McKay and her best friend Di Souther, set in Dixie, Tennessee.
Next up, Victoria Gilbert will be releasing at least two more books in her Blue Ridge Library Mystery Series, which stars Amy Webber, a former university librarian now managing a public library in a historic town in Virginia. This will bring the series to five books when they are released.
Finally, Tina Kashian will be releasing two more entries in her Kebab Kitchen Mystery Series, which stars Lucy Berberian, an ex-lawyer working at a family Mediterranean restaurant on the Jersey Shore. Though the names for the books haven't been released yet, the first will be Easter-themed, the fifth Christmas-themed, and will hopefully be released in March 2020 and October 2020 respectively.
And that's it for this month's Cozy Mystery news!

I have just discovered your website and have a suggestion for your list of mysteries:
Author: Martin Walker
Series: Bruno, Chief of Police
There are 14 books in the series so far. The stories take place in a village in the south of France.
Janet, thanks for the recommendations – I'll have to check out these authors some time, though my list of authors to look into is quite long at this point!
And here's another:
Author: Mark Schweizer

Last one in the series: The Choir Director Wore Out
There are 15 books in the series. All available on Kindle for $2.99.
In THE ALTO WORE TWEED, we meet Hayden Konig–police chief of the small North Carolina town of St. Germaine. He's also the choir director for St. Barnabas Episcopal Church.
Margaret Smith says
How can you not include Louise Penny's new book?!?! It's out at the end of the month. Best writer ever!
Margaret, I generally don't list new books for this month in news posts, instead they're for news on books that have been announced but often don't even have titles yet – so very very "advance notice" sort of posts. New releases have their own posts, generally every Monday.
I sent this email several days ago and it still hasn't been posted. It's probably moot now since no one will check back this much later. I really thought others my want to know when books that appear to be only on kindle are also available in paperback. I know several people have commented (on this blog) they don't read books on kindle for a variety of reasons.
Confusion??? Here's an FYI
When you follow the link from this site to Amazon for Killing By the Sea, they only list a kindle book and a audio CD book. So I thought this was another book only available on kindle. But then I found it in book form on BN site. Further search found it in paperback on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Sea-Kathleen-Bridge/dp/1516105249/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1541703511&sr=1-1&keywords=killing+by+the+sea

MJ, just found this post (and the previous one) in my spam filter. It's pretty aggressive about outside links, but I unmarked this one and deleted the original.
Susy S says
MJ,
I think this is a print on demand book. It previously was only available as an e-book. I have found this to be the case on several in the past couple of years. I don't know what the criteria is for it to move from just electronic to print, but I wish there were more like this I could order. My eyes really don't like reading on electronic devices for more than an hour or two, and I can easily read a book a day if it is in print.
Annette S says
Hi Dana. Are you going to post October's free and cheap cozy mysteries?
Annette, I did post an October cheap Kindles list, if that's what you mean, here: October Cheap Kindles. It looks like I forgot to add that post to the list of cheap Kindles entries, I've added it now.
Delores Hanney says
Dana or other readers, are you aware of any cozy mysteries with a theme of architecture, especially vintage architecture rather than bookbinders or bakeries, etc?
Delores, hmm, I'm not sure if I have a category that exactly fits that one… I'll have to write it down to make a category for it later!
Shannon Hammer in the fixer upper mysteries by Kate Carlisle restores Victorian mansions they discuss a lot of architectural elements as they go through the process.
