Vaccines To Third Wave, Centre Answers Key Questions Amid Omicron Fears
HomeAll IndiaVaccines To Third Wave, Centre Answers Key Questions Amid Omicron Fears
The Health Ministry has issued a list of FAQs about the Omicron variant of coronavirus which has been designated by WHO as a ''variant of concern''
All IndiaPress Trust of IndiaUpdated: December 03, 2021 9:37 pm IST
Two cases of Covid's Omicron variant were reported in Karnataka yesterday.
While there is no evidence to suggest that existing vaccines do not work on the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, some of the mutations reported may decrease the efficacy of the jabs, the Union Health Ministry said.
It, however, underscored that definitive evidence for the new variant's increased remission and immune evasion is awaited.
The ministry has issued a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the Omicron variant of coronavirus which has been designated by WHO as a ''variant of concern''.
Two cases of the new variant were reported in Karnataka yesterday.
On the possibility of a third wave of COVID-19, the ministry said given its characteristics, it is likely to spread to more countries, including India, but given the fast pace of vaccination in India and high exposure to delta variant as evidenced by high seropositivity, the severity of the disease is anticipated to be low.
Omicron cases are increasingly being reported from countries outside of South Africa and given its characteristics, it is likely to spread to more countries, including India, the ministry said.
"However, the scale and magnitude of the rise in cases and the severity of the disease are still not clear," it said.
"Further, given the fast pace of vaccination in India and high exposure to delta variant as evidenced by high seropositivity, the severity of the disease is anticipated to be low. However, scientific evidence is still evolving," the ministry said.
From the list of FAQs, the ministry, answering to whether the existing vaccines work against the Omicron variant, said, "While, there is no evidence to suggest that existing vaccines do not work on Omicron, some of the mutations reported on spike gene may decrease the efficacy of existing vaccines."
However, vaccine protection is also by antibodies as well as by cellular immunity, which is expected to be relatively better preserved, it said. Hence, vaccines are expected to still offer protection against severe disease and vaccination is crucial and if eligible, one should get vaccinated, it said.
To a question on if the currently used diagnostics methods can detect Omicron, it said the most accepted and commonly used method of diagnosis for SARS-CoV2 is the RT-PCR method.
"This method detects specific genes in the virus, such as Spike (S), Enveloped (E) and Nucleocapsid (N) etc to confirm the presence of the virus. However, in the case of Omicron, as the S gene is heavily mutated, some of the primers may lead to results indicating the absence of the S gene (called S gene drop out).
"This particular S gene drop out along with the detection of other viral genes could be used as a diagnostic feature of Omicron. However, for final confirmation of the omicron variant genomic sequencing is required," the ministry explained.
It further said the WHO declares a variant as Variant of Concern after assessment when there is an increase in transmissibility or detrimental change in COVID-19 epidemiology or increase in virulence or change in clinical disease presentation or decrease in the effectiveness of public health and social measures or available diagnostics, vaccines, therapeutics.
"Omicron has been declared VoC based on the observed mutations, their predicted features of increased transmission and immune evasion and preliminary evidence of detrimental change in COVID-19 epidemiology such as increased reinfections. The definitive evidence for increased remission and immune evasion is awaited," the ministry said.
It stressed that the precautions and steps to be taken remain the same as before.
"It's essential to mask yourself properly, take both doses of vaccines (if not yet vaccinated), maintain social distancing and maintain good ventilation to the maximum possible."
The government is monitoring the situation closely and is issuing suitable guidelines from time to time, it said. The scientific and medical community is geared up for developing and deploying diagnostics, carrying out genomic surveillance, generating evidence about viral and epidemiologic characteristics, and development of therapeutics, it said.
The ministry said variants are a normal part of evolution and as long as the virus can infect, replicate and transmit, they will continue to evolve.
"Further, not all variants are dangerous and most often than not, we don't notice them. Only when they are more infectious or can reinfect people they gain prominence. The most important step to avoid the generation of variants is to reduce the number of infections," it said.
The new variant reported from South Africa on November 24 was called B.1.1.529 or Omicron based on Greek alphabets. It has shown a very large number of mutations, especially more than 30 on the viral spike protein which is the key target of an immune response, the ministry said.
Given the collection of mutations in Omicron, which earlier individually have been associated with increased infectivity and/or immune evasion, and the sudden rise in the number of positive cases in South Africa, the World Health Organization has declared Omicron a ''variant of concern'', it added.

Monday Muse: Other People's Words
I received wonderful news today. Up made Publishers Weekly! We are thrilled with the review; here's the quote in full:
"Taking her five-year-old daughter on ambitious back-packing adventures in the White Mountains of New Hampshire earned author Ellis Herr flak from her blogging audience as well as an enormous sense of accomplishment. In fact, as she recounts in this charming, uplifting account, Ellis Herr and her daughter, Alex, climbed all 48 of New Hampshire's highest (4,000-plus feet) peaks from 2008 to 2009 to become members of the Four Thousand Footer Club, sponsored by the Appalachian Mountain Club. Alex was a super-charged kid with a lot of stamina; the daughter of notable climber Hugh Herr, whose frozen legs were amputated at age 17 in 1982 after he and a friend were lost for three days in a snowstorm while climbing Mount Washington, Alex rarely complained, but learned to be cautious while climbing and employ safety techniques enforced by her mother. Braving the elements, especially the rotting snow in spring, sudden storms, and aggressive grouse, and ignoring criticism by importunate fellow climbers who questioned Ellis Herr's intentions in taking her daughter up the mountains ("A little girl like you shouldn't be trying to hike such a big, grown-up mountain," they were told), Ellis Herr and Alex spent a happy year and a half scaling the peaks, recording their treks, and silencing the critics. Would people have wondered at their feat if Alex had been a boy? Ellis Herr wonders, rendering this a keen feminist fable for brave girls. (Apr.)"
Valentine's Day is tomorrow! In honor of the Day of Warm Fuzzies, here are a few of my favorite quotes about love and family.
"Of course if you like your kids, if you love them from the moment they begin, you yourself begin all over again, in them, with them, and so there is something more to the world again." --William Saroyan
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. -- Elizabeth Stone
No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished? --Elbert Hubbard
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day, everyone.

The Government is telling me who I am: The voting Survey: a lesson in sampling bias part III →
The voting Survey: a lesson in sampling bias part II
By strider, on January 4th, 2017
So far, in the last post, I had revealed an example of sampling bias as being the fact that the questions only hint at particular alternative voting systems without coming out and suggesting one and how it has been implemented elsewhere, so that a more intelligent response to the questionnaire could be made possible. A casual questionnaire participant would look at these questions on offer and probably say "sounds like a great idea" without understanding the details of the proposed voting system that would make him or her think otherwise.
It is also my understanding that certain groups of people (i.e, government and industry) are often breathless in their praise of computers. Now mind you, computers are a great technology (my blog runs on one), but the most trustworthy technology have been voting with physical paper ballots. It is hard evidence that a vote took place. Pushing a button or pulling a lever or interacting with a computer sends electrons through conductors that have no memory and leave no trace of themselves behind. The "memory" on a computer would then only be as effective as the program running that is counting my vote. On the other hand, a pen mark on a paper ballot will last a hundred years.
This is to say nothing about our experiences with federal elections south of the border. Since the voting machines came in, there have been accusations, not without merit, of corruption in the American voting system, due to the way the machines counted the votes, leading to people ask how they were programmed. But when called upon to surrender their source code, companies like Diebold refused, citing patent infringement. If this were government-owned source code, they could make a clear case for public accountability, and demand that the feds surrender the code and make it public. But Diebold is a private company, so they can't make that demand. This in effect gives companies like Diebold unaccountable power over election turnout in the United States.
On the "Cooperation" scenario is that allowing opposition parties to participate in developing policy places the Prime Minister as the lone president of "Canada, Inc.", thus Americanizing the Candian system (I know you all want that), since this also allows the PM to be elected on a separate ballot (not a bad idea in some ways). Of course this proposal of separate ballots for the PM is nowhere on this questionnaire. Everything is just hinted at, hoping the participant doesn't think any bit deeper.
We would have to say farewell to the bloodletting of Question Period, and if we ever hated big governnment before, it would be worse this way, with no effective opposition, and no avenue for citizen input in the lower chamber. The government would have 338 elected employees (formerly called MPs) working for it, rather than some of them in opposition. That would only leave the upper chamber, the senate, to speak for anyone with an opposing view.
There were then these binary questions asked, in the form of "which do I want more?":
A government where one party governs and can make decisions on its ownOR a government where several parties have to collectively agree before a decision is made?
I like how the question makes you want to answer in favour of cooperation. Cooperation leaves no voice of opposition, and no accountability. But if I favour the first option, am I supporting dictatorships? Also, was there ever a problem with "cooperation" and policy making in the past that would lead us to demand a total overhaul?
I don't define governing with an opposition party on the other side of the house "governing on your own".
One party governs and is solely accountable for policy outcomesOR several parties must cooperate to govern and they share accountability for policy outcomes?
This question is really the same as the first, and makes no suggestion as to how accountability would be held in the second scenario. "Shared accountability" leaves open the question "to whom?". There has to be an elected body that holds MPs accountable. Up until the last election, that role was filled by the MPs in opposition.
This brings up the murky topic about the senate being elected …? I like the senate and understand what they do. They are not just a rubber stamp on Parliament, they speak for minorities, and for the long term. That is why they don't run for election. They are there to think of policy's effect over decades and vote based on "sober second thought". The lower chamber and elections have the problem of only thinking as far as the next election for the effect of policy. Senators do not have to do the bidding of the lower house or of their party or of the Prime Minister. Policy is something we must live with for decades into the future, and we need that additional deep thought by detached individuals to help the lower chamber change its policy so that things work into the future. It has served us well in the past, and again, the only complaints come from self-interested groups who want to see a more American system. Remeber, our senators right now have no committement to party loyalty whatsoever, and is thus detached from the lower house. The American system is still bound to party loyalty.
Ballots should be as simple as possible so that everybody understands how to voteOR ballots should allow everybody to express their preferences in detail?
Simple is always better.
Members of Parliament that do what their party promised, even if it means going against what their constituents wantOR members of Parliament that do what their constituents want, even if it means going against what their party promised?
Voters usually vote for their party and their platform. The local platform is far less publicized, even locally. So, I think party promises should come first, since that is likely what got their party into power. And to the extent that the party strays from the original platform, MPs should become the voice of their constituents.
No further action needs to be taken to ensure that those elected to Parliament better reflect the diversity of the population they representOR further action needs to be taken to ensure that those elected to Parliament better reflect the diversity of the population they represent?
Diversity is determined by voters. What on Earth could the government do to change that? Telling some people they can't run and saying that others can? The voters have to decide that. And if a under-represented member of a minority wants to run, then let him or her, and wish them the best of luck. Was there ever anything preventing this from happening?
Canadians should have the option to cast their ballots online in federal elections, even if the security or privacy of online voting cannot be guaranteedOR Canadians should continue to vote using paper ballots at a polling station, even if it is less accessible for some voters?
Again, we have always accomodated disabled people at the voting station. I say that as the husband of a wife who has been in a wheelchair for over a decade. It is another non-problem. The huge problem is from the first choice: the lack of security in online voting. This is always the problem in improving convenience for people in computer software: security is always sacrificed. To make the voting system trustworthy, I believe it is worth a little discomfort for a few minutes at the voting station in filling out a paper ballot. Again, I have heard of no one complaining about not using computers. I have heard a whole lot more about us speaking of American elections as a laughingstock with their computer voting.
Voting in federal elections is an obligationOR voting in federal elections is a choice?
Voting is our right. That includes a right not to vote. Sorry to say that, but that is the reality. If the candidates are all sub-optimal, then I should not be forced to cast a choice. The politicians must simply learn to be more in touch with the people who elect them. This is a simple human expectation.
Having many small parties in Parliament representing many different viewsOR having a few big parties that try to appeal to a broad range of people?
I don't think that can be answered with this questionnaire, nor is it the purview of our government to do anything about that. It should be up to the voters. It would help if the government lowered the official minimum seats for official party status from 6 down to 1.
And if the party was treated less as an extension of the PMO as it has been in recent decades, and more of a looser-knit set of politicians speaking for those who elected them, this idea of "representing many different views" would never have been a problem. Nobody asked for all party MPs to vote as a block on every possible legislation. Simply stop doing that, and we will be fine.
Members of Parliament that spend more time in their constituency working with constituentsOR Members of Parliament that spend more time on Parliament Hill working on the issues that matter to their constituents?
I don't see what problem this solves. If you are in your constituency office, you are spending less time voting on legislation in Ottawa, and less time in Question Period. If you are speding more time in Ottawa, you are spending less "face time" with your constituents. Wouldn't we have already worked this problem out a long time ago? Why is this question being asked?
Members of Parliament that always support policies that they think are best for their constituents, even if their constituents disagreeOR Members of Parliament that always support policies their constituents want, even if the MPs themselves personally disagree?
Also, wouldn't an MP already know why they were elected and not let their personal opinions contaminate their support of policies? I would treat the voters as always being right, and would never be so paternalistic as to feel that I know better what my constituents need.

August in a Hamilton Airport Lounge


Keeping the pulse on the latest trends and innovations in the global airline industry.
24 December 2018 | Just shy of KLM's centenary, the airline has opened the first stage of its brand new lounge at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport. The lounge – designed by Amsterdam-based Concrete – now boasts a completely new setup, set over tiered layers, with a 'trendy' ambience.
The lounge features the latest technologies and innovations along with improved service and catering. While this is just a taster of what is yet to come, customers can already take advantage of this in a temporary setup while refurbishment of the second part of the lounge continues until its festive opening in summer 2019.
Catering to KLM's premium customers travelling on intercontinental flights, the international KLM Crown Lounge is located between the E and F Piers at Schiphol.
The lounge has a new impressive entrance on the Schiphol's so-called 'Holland Boulevard'. Customers access the lounge by escalator (or elevator) and pass glass walls that contain five thousand of KLM's iconic Delft Blue houses on their way up.
21 December 2018 | Airline passenger experience innovations can be nicely summarized along the lines of the customer experience dichotomy of 'time well saved' (e.g, removing friction, with a strong focus on digital innovation) and 'time well spent (e.g, creating branded and/or experiential spaces).
Following our trip last year on Finnair's A350 to report on the airline's 'Nordic Experience', this year we travelled onboard China Airlines' A350, which is another example of how full service airlines are becoming more creative and bold in the design of their lounges and cabins in an effort to differentiate their brand in the midst of fierce price competition.
The idea of commencing the journey early by providing a lounge experience that comes near or matches the experience in the air has began to take hold.
Air China, for example, worked with its design firm (JPA Design) to develop a holistic ground to air experience which incorporates the story telling theme of the airlines' new cabins including traditional Chinese iconography designed by renowned Chinese artist Han Meilin.
And Finnair, together with dSign, developed a 'Space Alive' design standard which is applied on the airline's Helsinki lounge and its A350 cabins. The concept uses dynamic mood lighting and neutral furnishings to set a mood that suits the time of day, destination or season.
20 December 2018 | Delta in 2011 became the first airline to make the baggage process more transparent for passengers with its 'Track Checked Bags' service. Delta passengers on domestic flights can track their checked bag(s) in real-time via the Delta app, even when up in the air.
Plus, Delta's 'Bags On Time' guarantee means that passengers on domestic routes will have their checked luggage at the bag caroussel within 20 minutes, or receive 2500 SkyMiles when this takes longer.
Delta in 2016 also invested USD 50 million in RFID technology to further expand is bag tracking service to international stations. RFID scanners, RFID bag tag printer, and RFID pier and claim readers have been installed in 344 stations worldwide, which has resulted in baggage tracking that is 99.9 percent accurate.
With sharing real-time bag tracking with passengers still being a novelty in the industry, Delta has further innovated its baggage service to include delayed luggage.
Earlier this year, Delta expanded its Fly Delta app functionality to allow passengers to skip the bag service office visit when luggage is missing.
The mobile bag service feature allows passengers to file a bag claim at their final destination through the Fly Delta app, instead of having to visit the local Delta baggage service office, when Delta sees the bag has missed a checkpoint. The airline proactively notifies passengers if their bag will be delayed, and provides a link to complete a delayed bag file with the app.
9 October 2018 | Much has been said how airlines should evolve/transform into travel platforms that provide passengers with relevant products and services during their journey from door to door. Think airport transfers, baggage pick-up and delivery, duty free delivery on arrival, etcetera.
These kind of convenience-based services are taking off in a response to the expectations of customers used to manage their life from their smartphone in an 'on-demand' economy.
A new example of how airlines are thinking beyond the flight is a pilot between Dutch LCC Transavia and Holland's major retailer Albert Heijn which aims to ease the woes of travellers who find an empty fridge and a closed supermarket when returning home, for example in the evening or on a Sunday.
Similar insights have led retailers such as Tesco to trial a QR shopping wall trial at London Gatwick back in 2012, while Lufthansa has held trials with German supermarkets Rewe and Edeka to let passengers order groceries via its FlyNet inflight wifi portal for home delivery.
Appie Fly is a joint experiment by Albert Heijn and Transavia that allows passengers on all inbound Transavia flights to Rotterdam The Hague Airport to order fresh breakfast boxes and then collect them after arrival. The breakfast boxes can be picked up from the Appie Fly collection point, which is located at the Illy Coffee Corner in the arrival hall of the airport.
22 March 2017 | Airlines are becoming more creative in selling ancillary services to passengers in order to increase revenues per seat. For example, many airlines today offer passengers the option to place their bids in a blind auction for an upgrade to a premium seat, while airlines such as KLM and Emirates invite passengers to contact the tablet-equipped crew if they want upgrade to another cabin at the very last minute onboard.
Lufthansa has recently trialled an innovative way to sell upgrades to Premium Economy at the departure gate. Earlier this year, the airline used virtual reality (VR) glasses at its Frankfurt Airport hub as a way to tempt Economy Class passengers to purchase an upgrade to Premium Economy right before their departure.
By inviting passengers to put on some VR glasses and take a 360 degrees view of how the Premium Economy seat and cabin looks, Lufthansa hoped passengers booked in Economy would become more interested to purchase an upgrade.
12 February 2017 | For years, Lufthansa has been one of the very few airlines – if not the only one – to offer passengers waiting for their flight at the gate complimentary coffee, tea (image), and newspapers at main airports around Germany, including its Frankfurt and Munich hubs.
However, similar to any other full service carrier around the globe who is looking to rationalize every cost item, Lufthansa has to rethink these kind of free amenities. Instead of cutting costs by simply terminating the free hot beverages and print newspapers the airline has come up with a smart alternative that taps into trends such as 'paid premium' and digitalization.
Following trials in the first half of 2015 at selected gates at Frankfurt and Munich airports, Lufthansa a few months ago partnered with Nespresso to bring the ubiqituous coffee capsules to the gate area.
The premium Nespresso coffee doesn't come for free though. Passengers can choose from regular coffee, espresso, cappuccino ior latte macchiato (the latter with fresh milk), each at the cost of 2 euros. For those passengers who might consider bringing their own coffee pods: For the business market, a different pad-shaped system of Nespresso pods exists which are not interchangeable with the consumer capsules.
25 January 2017 | SAS will open a new city lounge at Stockholm's Grand Central station, which offers flyers all the exclusivity and comfort of membership in a private club.
The opening of the new club follows the successful launch in June of last year of the first SAS City Lounge, located in the heart of Stockholm's business district, in Stureplan.
The new 600 square meter lounge is located at Stockholm Grand Central station, approximately 150 m from the Arlanda Express airport train, and offers the same private-club service as the original SAS city lounge, also opened in partnership with No18 Office & Lounge.
Guests enjoy free WiFi, reception and concierge service, open work spaces and telephone rooms, as well as complimentary coffee and tea. Meeting and conference rooms are also available to rent.
"The positive reaction to the first SAS city lounge in Stureplan underlined the growing demand for such services, and how much customers appreciate the exclusive membership-club feeling and the opportunity to do their work when and how it suits them," the airline states in its announcement.
The new lounge's proximity to direct train and bus services to Arlanda is intended to be more convenient to business and leisure travellers alike, and keeps step with the airline's focus on satisfying productivity flyers. The service model appeals both to traditional business travellers and entrepreneurs, including freelancers who can make the most of comfortable temporary offices to hold their meetings in the city.
3 December 2016 | Taking a cue from Starbucks' mobile ordering service, as well as fellow down-under airline Air New Zealand's coffee ordering service, Qantas recently introduced a new service at its lounges across Australia that invites lounge visitors to order their barista-made coffee via their smartphone.
In an effort to offer peace of mind to busy travellers who have navigated traffic and queues at security before having to line up again in the lounge to get a barista-made coffee, Qantas has partnered with Skip, a free app that helps customers "skip the queue" by ordering and paying for coffee and food.
In the Qantas Clubs alone, baristas brew over 1,000 cups of tea and coffee every day. In an average week the Sydney Qantas Club sees the biggest demand for coffee, with 6am to 7am being the peak demand time.
The mobile ordering service has been available since July 2016 and the Skip app can be used to order coffee at Qantas Clubs and Business Lounges at Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney domestic airports.
Qantas passengers using the Skip app can also select the time they want to collect their coffee and receive a text message when their order is ready. In addition, touchscreens have been installed around the lounges so those who aren't Skip users can order before walking up to the bar.
28 October 2016 | EVA Air has become the first Asian airline to adopt the RIMOWA Electronic Tag, the first fully integrated mobility solution for luggage.
RIMOWA Electronic Tag, which is already used by Lufthansa, will be implemented system-wide by fellow Star Alliance carrier EVA Air from 1 December. The exclusive announcement was made at Future Travel Experience Asia EXPO 2016 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. RIMOWA also hosted an after-show event at its Marina Bay Sands store to mark the occasion.
The RIMOWA Electronic Tag suitcase features an embedded digital bag tag, which can be updated by passengers using the airline's app. Passengers can submit data from their smartphone with just one tap, via Bluetooth, to the RIMOWA Electronic Tag and the e-ink digital display is updated with exactly the same information that would appear on a paper bag tag.
While EVA Air joins Lufthansa as an early adopter of the pioneering RIMOWA Electronic Tag solution, a number of other airlines are currently trialling the solution ahead of potential implementations in the near to medium term.
26 October 2016 | Emirates has unveiled their newly renovated business class lounge in Dubai International Airport's concourse 2 after two years of work. At a cost of USD 11m the newly renovated space includes three new dining and drinking experience areas.
The new offering is in addition to the seven other locations within the vast lounge with gourmet cuisine prepared by on-site chefs and a complimentary full bar service, which includes premium wine, spirits and champagne.
The new spaces are all prime examples of brand experiences that are opening in lounges around the world, such as Etihad and Six Senses, Qantas and Rockpool or Air France and Clarins. Emirates has recently partnered with Costa Coffee, Voss water and the long-lasting relationship with Moët Hennessy is now also reinforced in the lounge experiences as well as onboard.
25 September 2016 | Connectivity and digitalization are revolutionizing the airline passenger experience, most notably by empowering passengers to manage their journey by providing them with real-time information and on-demand services.
Located at Terminal 2's Departure Transit Lounge, the Motion Silhouette Wall uses motion-sensing technology to respond to movements in real time. Animated backdrops of Singapore landmarks such as the National Stadium and patterns change as passengers in front of the wall move and interact with the animation.
Located at the other side of the installation and using the same motion-sensing technology, is a Dot Portraits Wall where passengers can make a monochromatic portrait of themselves taken at different spots of Singapore, such as Gardens by the Bay and Merlion Park. The finished image then appears on the screen in a black and white flip-dot display.
19 July 2016 | In-flight entertainment (IFE) has long been an integral part of the air travel experience. A wide array of content delivered on a high-spec screen can help to make a long flight a far more enjoyable experience. On the other hand, spending hours on end with no access to entertainment can make for a laborious journey.
Increasingly, airlines that have avoided offering IFE in the past – mostly low-cost carriers (LCCs) and those operating short-haul networks – are starting to take advantage of technological developments to offer entertainment content in various forms. In fact, the landscape is changing so rapidly that travellers are starting to question why some airlines, regardless of their business model or the length of the flight, are failing to offer at least some form of digital entertainment.
Portable, scalable onboard networks – such as those adopted by the likes of XL Airways, Iberia Express, and Arkefly – and which allow passengers to stream content to their own devices in-flight, have quickly gained traction, but some airlines are taking a slightly different approach.
Canadian carrier Air Transat offers a pre-flight content download service, while Transavia also offers something similar, albeit with a different provider.
However, for those who are not quite as organised and don't manage to download any content before leaving home, other solutions have emerged. If you're flying with SWISS from Geneva Airport, you can now – well, for the next three months at least – download content to your smartphone or tablet while waiting at the gate or in a lounge.
8 June 2016 | United Airlines hopes to outshine competitors with a redefined international Business Class experience – called Polaris – named after the brightest star in our night sky.
United and London-based design firm PriestmanGoode have worked on the design and development of the Polaris service over the past three years, with the aim of re-branding and redefining United's proposition to the profitable, high-revenue corporate client.
The entire experience is designed to reverse any impression passengers may have that United offers customers a run-of-the-mill product.
The United Polaris 'experience' starts with dedicated Business Class lounges designed to harmonise with the passenger experience in the cabin.
Each exclusive Polaris lounge features a dining area serving both a buffet selection and a la carte meals, as well as a tended bar. The lounges follow a common design plan with the active areas near the entrance, followed by the bar and buffet, and 'calmer' zones further inside—including shower suites and daybed rest pods.
PriestmanGoode have also created a bespoke seat for the lounge – named the Quad chair – which mimics elements of the Polaris seat up in the air. This private seating concept in the lounge includes coat and bag storage, a pull-out table with integrated tablet holder, and AC/USB charging points for personal electronic devices.
4 June 2016 | Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is taking an innovative approach towards the development of its lounges by offering different lounge concepts for different moments of use. Last year, the airline opened the first of a series of Café Lounges around Scandiavia: mini-lounges located near gate areas where premium passengers can wait or work in comfort.
Tapping into the big shift in how a growing number of people work today, SAS in partnership with No 18 Office & Lounge, to open a City Lounge for its frequent flyers in downtown Stockholm, Sweden.
The SAS City Lounge is located at Birger Jarlsgatan 18, right in the center of Stockholm's business district. City Lounge includes both open plan work areas and private meeting rooms where passengers can work and network.
Diamond members of SAS Eurobonus loyalty program (plus guest) can access the creative meeting place for free a day before and after their trip with SAS, but also at other times for a fee of SK299 (EUR32, USD37) per person. The City Lounge, which is open 9-17 on weekdays, includes wifi, coffee, tea, and concierge services. No 18 also offers SAS Diamond members to schedule an appointment with a personal trainer at their gym.
16 May 2016 | Schiphol has partnered with online furniture shop MADE.com and opened several branded waiting spaces, giving passengers comfy living room oases at the bustling H- and M-piers.
These piers host low-cost carriers serving the airport. The MADE partnership was a good opportunity for Schiphol to spruce up the more austere terminal area, pleasantly surprising passengers.
MADE also gets to reach shoppers who might like testing out its more affordable high-design furnishings.
With a head office in London and an office in Shanghai, China, MADE minimises its overheads by selling online, and groups orders of the same item together to gain efficiencies from repetitive production. It does not own its factories, instead building close working relationships with independent factories and designers.
Rather than pay for permanent retail spaces, MADE has opened several pop-up showrooms, featuring a changing selection furnishings where customers can take away fabric samples and create wish-lists. The company recently opened its fourth European showroom at Amsterdam's Overtoom street.

KFC Colonel Sander's Inspirational Story!!
By MoralStories26.com On 03/07/2016 27/07/2020 In Famous Personalities, Inspirational Tagged Failure and Success Stories, Hard Work Pays Off Stories, Inspirational Success Stories, Real Life Short Stories 12 Comments
Sander's was born in 1890. When sander's was 5 yrs old, he lost his father. His mother who was housewife had to go out to work to earn for family and sander's had to take care of his siblings. He used to look after and cook for them. By age of 7 his skills got good with cooking.
At age of 10, he began to work at local farmer. Soon, his mother remarried and sander had tumultuous relationship with his stepfather due to which he dropped out of 7th grade and left his home by himself.
At age of 14, he took job for painting horse carriages and then moved to Indiana to work as farmhand for 2 yrs. At age of 16 he falsified his date of birth and completed his service commitment as teamster in Cuba.
At age of 19 he met Josephine while working on rail road. Soon, he got married to her. They had three kids (son and two daughter). His son died at early age. Now, he found a job at Illinois central railroad but soon had to lost even this job due to brawl with his colleague and his wife left him and moved to her parents with kids.
He used to study Law by correspondence. After losing job he started to practice law but even his legal career ended after a fight with his own client. He moved back to his mother and again went to work as labor for railway. Here he started to work as Life insurance agent but eventually fired.
At age of 30, he established a ferry boat company which was an instant success. After 3 yrs he sold all his shares of ferry boat for 22,000$ and used this money to establish a company manufacturing lamps but even this venture failed. After this sander's moved to Winchester, Kentucky to work as salesman but soon he lost his job also.
In 1930, Sander was offered a rent free station to run by Shell oil company where he began to serve chicken dishes and other meals. Slowly his popularity grew and soon his service station became famous throughout Kentucky. It was called "Kentucky Fried Chicken of Harland Sanders." All customers noted the quality of its seasoning, which he prepared from 11 different spices. Life began to improve.
Harland Sanders bought a service station, motel and cafe at Corbin, a town in Kentucky. He left Claudia, as manager of the North Corbin restaurant and motel. He started to work as assistant cafeteria manager in Tennessee.
In 1947 he divorced his first wife and in 1949 married Claudia.
For first time sander franchised "Kentucky Fried Chicken" in 1952. Restaurants sales lead to popularity of KFC and increase in income but life hit hard on him once again, due to some reason his sales dropped drastically and he was forced to sell all his property to pay his debt.
At age of 65 he was broke and was living off on Social Security Check of 105$. At this time he started to think about all and upon reflection he decided that he can sell his recipe to other restaurants. He wandered throughout U.S. with his spice recipe and pressure cooker visiting restaurants of America. Even this time it took long before he could find his first customer. After 4 years KFC was very successful and after a deal his net worth estimated at $3.5 million.
In 1980, at the age of 90 years, Harland Sanders died. In recent years he was traveling, playing golf and ran their own restaurant Claudia Sanders Dinner House with his wife.

Q: Backbone.js:"Maximum call stack size exceeded" error suppose I have a model and a view ,ths view have two method:one is bind the document mousemove event and the other is unbind method,defalut I give the document mousemove event, once the model's enable value changed I will call the view's unbind method:
    window.ConfigModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
        defaults: {
            'enable':0
        },
        initialize: function(){
            this.bind("change:enable", function () {
                var portView2 = new PortView();
                portView2.viewOff();
            });
        },
        change:function () {
            this.set('enable', 9);
        }
     })

    window.PortView = Backbone.View.extend({
        viewOn: function () {
            $(document).on('mousemove', function () {
                console.log('move')
            })
        },
        viewOff: function () {
            $(document).off('mousemove');
        }
    })

then I put an input on the document to call the model changed:
    $('input').click(function () {
        var configModel = new ConfigModel();
        configModel.change();
    })

the boot script is :
var portView1 = new PortView();
portView1.viewOn();

The problem is once I call the click the input button ,the chrome would tell me an error:Maximum call stack size exceeded it seems the change be invoke many times.So what's the problem with my problem ,how can I solve this problem

A: Backbone models already have a change method:

change model.change()
Manually trigger the "change" event and a "change:attribute" event for each attribute that has changed. If you've been passing {silent: true} to the set function in order to aggregate rapid changes to a model, you'll want to call model.change() when you're all finished.

Presumably something inside Backbone is trying to call configModel.change() and getting your version of change which triggers another change() call inside Backbone which runs your change which ... until the stack blows up.
You should use a different name for your change method.

That said, your code structure is somewhat bizarre. A model listening to events on itself is well and good but a model creating a view is odd:
initialize: function() {
    this.bind("change:enable", function () {
        var portView2 = new PortView();
        portView2.viewOff();
    });
}

And instantiating a view simply to call a single method and then throw it away is strange as is creating a new model just to trigger an event.
I think you probably want to have a single ConfigModel instance as part of your application state, say app.config. Then your click handler would talk to that model:
$('input').click(function () {
    app.config.enable_level_9(); // or whatever your 'change' gets renamed to
});

Then you'd have some other part of your application (not necessarily a view) that listens for changes to app.config and acts appropriately:
app.viewOn = function() {
    $(document).on('mousemove', function() {
        console.log('move')
    });
};
app.viewOff = function() {
    $(document).off('mousemove');
};
app.init = function() {
    app.config = new ConfigModel();
    app.viewOn();
    $('input').click(function () {
        app.config.enable_level_9();
    });
    // ...
};

And then start the application with a single app.init() call:
$(function() {
    app.init();
});

The current research work addresses two interesting systems related to rotating beams. The first dynamical system under consideration is an articulated uniform beam rotating in vacuum under vertical hub excitation along the axis of rotation. The study considers the ensuing parametric instabilities in the considered system. Parametric excitation manifests in the form of time-varying parameters of a dynamical system. Interestingly, more often than not, these time-varying parameters are time periodic in nature and possess inherent frequency/frequencies of oscillation. In an externally forced system, response grows increasingly large when the frequency of the external forcing is close to the system natural frequency/frequencies. In contrast, a parametrically excited system may show large responses under the effect of parametric resonance even when the excitation frequency does not coincide with the system natural frequency/frequencies. In the current study, the effect of parametric excitation on a simple articulated uniform rotating beam in vacuum is considered. The autonomous form (in the absence of base excitation) of the system possesses a non-trivial equilibrium point which is a function of rotation speed and the acceleration due to gravity. In the absence of damping, the considered equilibrium point is neutrally stable and happens to be stabilize in the presence of positive structural damping. However, on application of the hub excitation, the equilibrium point is annihilated, but the system still oscillates in the near neighborhood of the equilibrium point (corresponding to the autonomous system). The ensuing oscillations can be rendered unstable owing to parametric resonance through tuning of the excitation. The linearization of the system close to the equilibrium point leads to the celebrated Mathieu equation with external forcing. The stability surface dividing the stability-instability region of the resulting Mathieu equation is derived by invoking the Floquet theory. The nonlinear stability boundaries are constructed using Poincaré maps, and are compared with the linear stability boundaries. In order to validate the theoretical study, an experimental model is designed. Although, the primary resonance is captured sufficiently well, the higher and lower order parametric resonances are nuanced due to the presence of damping. However, the experimental results do in fact indicate the existence of these parametric resonances on the parameter plane. The second part of the study is concerned with the existence and bifurcations of nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) of a flexible beam rotating in vacuum with both transverse and longitudinal deflection. The nonlinear strain-displacement relation is considered while deriving the equations of motion which are coupled through quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. The discretized form of nonlinear coupled equations of motion is derived considering coupling between the first mode of transverse and longitudinal oscillations resulting in nonlinearly coupled oscillators. The effect of slenderness ratio, rotation speed and the system energy is considered on the evolution of the ensuing NNMs and sub-harmonics and the cascade of bifurcations experienced by these modes are explored.

Eisai collaborates in China with CY Biotech
The human health care company has entered into an agreement to grant exclusive development and marketing rights for its anti-obesity agent
Eisai has entered into an agreement to grant exclusive development and marketing rights for its anti-obesity agent lorcaserin hydrochloride in China, including Hong Kong and Macao to CY Biotech (CYB).
Under this agreement, Eisai will supply CYB with lorcaserin. Eisai will receive a one-time contractual payment and milestone payments dependent upon acquisition of regulatory approval.
In addition, Eisai has the option rights to copromote lorcaserin with CYB in China excluding Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the option rights to market lorcaserin in Hong Kong and Macao.
Lorcaserin is a novel chemical entity believed to decrease food consumption and promote satiety by selectively activating serotonin 2C receptors in the brain.
Lorcaserin was approved in June 2012 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adult patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or greater (obese) or 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related co-morbid condition, and was launched in the US in June 2013.
Lorcaserin was approved in Mexico in July 2016 and in Brazil in December 2016, with the same indication as for the US. In Taiwan, lorcaserin was developed by CYB, who obtained approval in July 2017 and launched lorcaserin in Taiwan in October 2017.
By entering into this agreement with CYB, which already has a track record in developing and marketing lorcaserin in Taiwan, Eisai is aiming to accelerate the delivery of lorcaserin to patients in these regions.

Professional Development Awards (PDAs) extend or broaden professional or vocational skills. They are linked to National Occupational Standards — and relevant legislation where appropriate.
The PDA in Advancing Equality and Diversity through Inclusiveness at SCQF level 9 develops the skills of implementing and embedding the concepts of equality, diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace. It particularly meets the CPD needs of staff in the education and training sectors, for both student and staff-facing roles, in relation to the requirements of current equality legislation.
The award encompasses the changes in equalities legislation enabling staff to develop a deeper understanding of the links between inclusiveness and the full range of protected characteristics within the Equality Act 2010 and reflected in Government and organisational strategy and policy.
In delivering on the mainstreaming of equality, it is incumbent on individual staff to demonstrate within their role how they are developing and promoting the ethos and concept of inclusiveness within the full range of protected characteristics, and delivering, in relation to their role, improved outcomes for staff or students.
This qualification is available through colleges. It has been designed to be delivered as a taught course and will normally be available as a combination of workshops and self-directed study.
The PDA in Advancing Equality and Diversity through Inclusiveness at SCQF level 9 has been developed in partnership with key stakeholder organisations, such as The Equality Challenge Unit, Colleges, Education Scotland, Scottish Funding Council, The Higher Education Academy and delivering centres.
It will help organisations subject to the Public Sector Equality Duty to evidence how they are mainstreaming equality in all aspects of their day-to-day work throughout the organisation, meet skills gaps and provide continuing professional development for staff.
The unit-based structure aids timetable flexibility. The mandatory unit is 40 hours of learning and the two optional units are typically 80 hours of learning. They can be delivered on a full-time or part-time basis.
This PDA may provide progression routes to further study, (see Progression).
The target audience is staff in organisations subject to the Public Sector Equality Duty eg the education sector, local authorities and potentially all employers wishing to upskill their employees in meeting The Equality Act 2010 legislative requirements. In colleges for example, the PDA is relevant for a variety of staff and student facing roles (lecturing, financial, HR and organisational development, middle and strategic management). Schools and HEIs could also find the PDA beneficial.
The PDA may be recognised for articulation to a variety of higher level programmes by various HEIs, eg The Open University's Master in Education (Equality and Diversity). SQA will be negotiating with these institutions individually to explore if credit transfer agreements can be reached.
Centres interested in offering this qualification require to come forward for approval and should contact SQA's Business Development Team for guidance.
Assessment materials will be made available for this qualification in due course.
The PDA in Advancing Equality and Diversity through Inclusiveness at SCQF level 9 consists of one mandatory unit and two optional units.

Q: can i install the .exe file without user interaction Can I install the .exe file without user interaction (means without click on the next or install button)
I have write the code to call .exe file but, it doesn't install silently in background.
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Downloads\teamViewer.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/S";
p.Start();
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
p.WaitForExit();

Why exe not run in background, with this code?

A: You can do a silent install with the EXE you download from the website.
You have to use the one that it extracts into your

%temp%\TeamViewer\VersionX\TeamViewer_.exe

As of version 7 %temp%\TeamViewer\Version7\TeamViewer_.exe. This one supports the /S argument, but there is another problem : UAC confirmation dialog and as far as I know you can't bypass this with code (unless your app is already running with admin privileges. You can use an application manifest for that).

The conference is based on the first touring exhibition of comics and cartoons by contemporary Jewish women, whose autobiographical comics confront issues personal and global. The event brings together academics and some of the artists whose work is exhibited, thus offering a unique opportunity to discuss and explore the diverse body of works by Jewish women today.
Participating artists include Sarah Lightman, Miriam Katin, Diane Noomin, Corinne Pearlman, Ariel Schrag, Ilana Zeffren. Plus there will be a special Laydeez do Comics evening session featuring Nicola Streeten, Janis Goodman, Denise Torrance, and Sam Cowan!
Please spread the word! Looking forward to seeing many people comics lovers as well as those with an interest in autobiographical narratives and contemporary culture at the event.
NB: This post was amended on 12 November 2014 in response to a demand by a participant who withdrew from the event and asked for their name to be removed from all publicity.

The call-for-papers deadline is approaching for a symposium I'm organising with Sarah Lightman on comics, autobiography and Jewish women. Check below for full details. And please spread the word!
The symposium will accompany the wonderful Graphic Details exhibition at Space Station 65, Kennington (October- November 2014). Curated by Sarah Lightman and Michael Kaminer, it is the first museum exhibit dedicated to the contribution Jewish women have made to the genre of autobiographical comics. Featuring original drawings, full comic books and graphic novels it presents work by artists whose intimate and complex work has influenced the world of comics over the last four decades. They include Vanessa Davis; Bernice Eisenstein; Sarah Glidden; Miriam Katin; Aline Kominsky-Crumb; Miss Lasko-Gross; Sarah Lazarovic; Miriam Libicki; Sarah Lightman; Diane Noomin; Corinne Pearlman; Trina Robbins; Racheli Rotner; Sharon Rudahl; Laurie Sandell; Ariel Schrag; Lauren Weinstein; and Ilana Zeffren.
On 12 November 2014, cartoonists and academics will come together in London to discuss comics by and about Jewish women. Confirmed participants include Dr. David Brauner (University of Reading), Dr Ariela Freedman (Concordia University), and Graphic Details Artist Corinne Pearlman (Playing the Jewish Card). Submissions for papers and panel sessions on any aspect of comics by and about Jewish women are welcome.
Comics and graphic narratives are currently receiving substantial attention in popular culture and academic disciplines across the arts and humanities. The rise of genres such as graphic memoirs, graphic journalism and graphic histories, for example, indicates that the representation of lived experience in comics form has become central to explorations of individual and collective identities, and to the documentation of historical and social events. But how, if at all, does the representation of often deeply personal feelings and individual experiences connect to collective events and identities? Can we identify shared themes and concerns in the work of contemporary Jewish women comics artists?
Proposals for 20 minute papers or panels comprising three papers should be emailed by 15 May 2014 to the organizers Sarah Lightman s.lightman.1@research.gla.ac.uk , and Heike Bauer h.bauer@bbk.ac.uk . Please include a 300-word abstract plus a short biographical note. You are welcome to submit images to supplement your abstract submission.
The symposium is supported by JW3, The Jewish Daily Forward, Space Station 65, McFarland, Birkbeck College London, Stirling Maxwell Centre University of Glasgow, The Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies UCL and Studies in Comics (Intellect Publishing).
We are delighted to announce that Studies in Comics 6.2 (2015), guest edited by Sarah Lightman and Heike Bauer, will be specially dedicated to this conference.

My research interests in representations of feelings and experience, and the links between individual and collective identities also has a contemporary dimension. I'm pleased to announce this Call for Papers for a Symposium I'm organising with the artist and curator, Sarah Lightman, one of the organisers of Laydeez Do Comics.
This interdisciplinary one-day symposium will put academics and cartoonists in dialogue with one another to discuss comics by and about Jewish women. Confirmed participants include Dr. David Brauner (University of Reading), Dr Ariela Freedman (Concordia University), and Graphic Details Artist Corinne Pearlman (Playing the Jewish Card).
This event runs in conjunction with the opening of Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women, at Space Station 65, Kennington (October- November 2014).

Q: Istio: Unable to set up mutual TLS origination with an egress gateway, custom CA certificates I am having problem with configuration of mutual TLS origination with an egress gateway. I am using the configuration provided in the documentation: https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/traffic-management/egress/egress-gateway-tls-origination-sds/#perform-mutual-tls-origination-with-an-egress-gateway.
I am getting following error message for curl:
kubectl exec "$(kubectl get pod -l app=sleep -o jsonpath={.items..metadata.name})" -c sleep -- curl -s -v 'http://ADDRESS_HERE/Service/something'

It looks like there is an issue related to certificate but I am able to access external service with curl and the same certificate provided as the parameters of curl command. I think the isseu may be related to fact that custom certificates are not trusted by each side. Is there any way to fix it?

Data
====
tls.key:  1679 bytes
ca.crt:   1525 bytes
tls.crt:  1956 bytes

api.externalservice.com is an external service listening only on https/9443.
I believe that client.crt, client.key and ca.crt used for creating this secret are correct because I could connect to api.externalservice.com from outside the mesh:
curl -k --cert client.crt --key client.key -v https://ADDRESS_HERE:9443/Service/something

Thank you for helping me with this. I appreciate any ideas how to resolve this issue.
EDIT: OK, it looks like I need to provide ca cartificate somewhere:
Error [IST0129] (DestinationRule rule) DestinationRule namespace/rule in namespace namespace has TLS mode set to MUTUAL but no caCertificates are set to validate server identity for host: <ADDRESS_HERE> at port number:9443

I am using Egress Gateway, so should I mount this certificate to the Egress GW pod?
EDIT2: Also, I was under the impression that certificate management is handled by client-credential secret. Is it really needed to also add caCertificates parameter?

Numerous Eastman Musicians Are Performing During Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival
Eastman School of Music faculty, alumni, and students will play prominently in the line-up for the upcoming Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. From faculty gigs and performances by Eastman Community Music School ensembles to a special jam session for aspiring jazz players, Eastman musicians will be appearing on various stages during the event June 12 through 20.
Of special interest to local residents is the annual Eastman School of Music/Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival Scholarship Concert on Monday, June 15, in Eastman Theatre. The scholarship is awarded annually to area high school seniors who plan to pursue jazz studies at Eastman School, and this year's concert is being dedicated in memory of saxophonist and Eastman alumnus Gerry Niewood. Scholarship recipients Gabe Condon of Penfield and brothers Jeffrey Krol and Matthew Krol of Painted Post will be recognized at the beginning of an 8 p.m. performance by the Eastman Jazz Ensemble. Prior to the presentation, the Eastman Youth Jazz Orchestra, directed by Howard Potter, will give a concert starting at 7:30 p.m. The Eastman Jazz Ensemble, directed by Bill Dobbins, will be joined by guest soloists Frank Tiberi, tenor saxophone, Mike Brignola, baritone saxophone, John Nugent, tenor saxophone, and Harold Danko, piano, for a concert celebrating the legacy of Woody Herman. The program will also feature a rare performance of Igor Stravinsky's Ebony Concerto with guest soloist Ramon Ricker, clarinet. The event is free, and voluntary contributions to the scholarship fund will be accepted.
Dobbins, a pianist, will also be appearing with the Mike Kaupa Quartet on the first evening of the festival. In addition to Dobbins, drummer Rich Thompson and Jeff Campbell, double bass, will join the Mike Kaupa Quartet on Friday, June 12, in the festival's Big Tent. Campbell will also be performing with the recent Eastman doctoral graduate Alex Graham and his Sextet on Monday, June 15, in Max of Eastman Place; Norwegian singer Sidsel Stromness on Tuesday, June 16, at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation; with fellow faculty member and trumpeter Clay Jenkins on Thursday, June 18, in the Big Tent; and with the John Nyerges Quintet on Friday, June 19, in the Big Tent. Nyerges is a graduate of the Eastman School, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1980 and his master's in 1997.
The Clay Jenkins and Friends concert on June 18 also features Harold Danko on piano and Rich Thompson on drums. Later that same day, Jenkins will join the Eastman Youth Jazz Orchestra for their June 18 concert on the Jazz Street Stage; he also will appear with the John Nyerges Quintet in the Big Tent on June 19.
The Dave Rivello Ensemble will be in the Big Tent on June 17. At Eastman, Rivello directs the Eastman New Jazz Ensemble, which was named best college big band by DownBeat magazine this year.
Pianist Dariusz Terefenko is performing with the Smugtown Stompers on June 13 and June 14 on the Mary Jemison boat on the Genesee River.
Guitarist Bob Sneider will be on stage for "Benny Goodman's 100th Birthday Salute with Ken Poplowski" on June 13 in the Harro East Ballroom, and joins the Mike Melito Quintet on June 15 in the Big Tent. Sneider also does jam sessions every night of the festival at the State Street Bar & Grille at the Rochester Plaza Hotel, and his trio will appear at the Central Library on June 17.
In addition, Sneider will host the Kids Jam Session, which will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, the last day of the festival, in Room 120 of the Eastman School. The session gives teens the chance to play with professional musicians, including Eastman School faculty, and get performance feedback and tips.
Groups from the Eastman Community Music School will also be featured during the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. The New Horizons Big Band performs on the Jazz Street Stage on June 18. Also appearing on the Jazz Street Stage are the Senior Combo of the Eastman Youth Jazz Orchestra on June 12; Mike Kaupa's music school combos on June 16; Jose Encarnacion's Latin Jazz Combo and Saxology on June 17, and the Eastman Youth Jazz Orchestra on June 18. Bob Sneider's music school combos will perform in the Big Tent on June 14. A four-member combo of ECMS interns Nick Finzer, trombone, Mike Frederick, guitar, Geoff Saunders, bass, and Chris Teal, drums, will be playing June 20 in the Big Tent.
Two recent Eastman alumni, Mike Cottone '07 and Matt Valerio '09, will be performing with their groups: the Mike Cottone Quartet on June 15 and the Matt Valerio Quartet on June 16, both in the Central Library.
The Po'Boys Brass Band, a group whose seven members are all graduates of or current students at the Eastman School, will be playing on the Jazz Street Stage on June 19.
The full schedule of performers and venues can be found on the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival website at www.rochesterjazz.com .

1-1/4" Tapcon Hex Head Screws are used with solar pool heaters to fasten mounting hardware to Barrel or Flat Concrete Tile, or Concrete Roofs.
The mounting hardware is attached to the tile using Tapcon Screws. This requires drilling a pilot hole in the tile before inserting the screw.
Use a 3/16" masonry drill bit. DO NOT drill into the substrate below the tile; doing so will cause a roof leak. The mounting screws should be positioned 1" to 2" above the bottom edge of the tile. This will allow a space between the tile and the substrate due to the overlap in the tiles.
On barrel tile roofs, try to lay out the panels so that the mounting holes fall on the tops of the barrel tile. This can be accomplished by using 6" rubber couplings where additional spacing is required; cut the coupling to the correct length.
Refer to the Vortex Install Manual for details on using Tapcon Hex Screws.
