A teacher at Parkdale Collegiate Institute is under investigation after he came to class Friday wearing blackface as part of a Halloween costume.
In a letter sent Saturday night to parents and students of Parkdale Collegiate Institute — and shared with the Star — principal Julie Ardell called the incident “racist and dehumanizing.”
“As you know, many staff and students were dressed up for Halloween, but late in the morning, a number of students alerted the Vice Principal that a white staff member was in ‘Blackface,’ ” she wrote.
“Caricatures of peoples’ race or culture are not appropriate and are offensive and hurtful.”
The teacher, identified to the Star by parents, students and the TDSB as Gorian Surlan, is being placed on home assignment until an investigation is completed, Ardell said in the letter.
“As soon as the incident was brought to our attention, we took immediate steps to address it, including having the staff member immediately wash their face as to not cause further harm,” she wrote.
Ardell adds that she acknowledges and regrets the harm the incident has caused the community and the school “must do more” on anti-Black racism. She also explains that anti-Black racism including blackface is against the school’s code of conduct and staff or students can face “serious consequences” for engaging in that behaviour.
However, members of the community the Star spoke with said the school did not act quickly enough to remove Surlan after students alerted administration to the incident.
Two Grade 9 students who were in the 9:30 a.m. business class, and several parents, told the Star they are deeply disturbed by the incident and are calling on the Toronto District School Board to hold the teacher accountable.
“I was devastated, I was shaking. I can’t believe it, there’s no excuse in 2021, in Toronto, in Parkdale, for a teacher to make a ‘mistake,’ if that’s what anyone wants to call this,” said Liz Ikiriko, an art curator whose 14-year-old son Otis is in the class.
“My son was really upset. Grade 9 is really difficult ... It’s just such a transitional year and we’re in a pandemic … I just can’t believe in the midst of all of this, this is also another thing the kids are navigating,” said Ikiriko, who identifies as biracial and Nigerian.
“He was really shook about it,” she said.
In photos sent to the Star by the parent of another student, who do not want to be named for fears of being targeted for speaking out, Surlan is seen wearing black face paint.
The Star contacted Surlan early Saturday afternoon but has not yet received a response.
The blackface incident comes as an educator at another school in the Parkdale neighbourhood, Queen Victoria Public School, received anonymous racist hate mail on Oct. 22, targeting her for being Black. The school board’s human rights office and Toronto Police are investigating, the board said in an Oct. 28 letter.
A report from the TDSB’s human rights office published earlier this year also outlined that the board has a “serious” problem with anti-Black racism and most complaints to the office are around anti-Black racism specifically.
Ikiriko’s son Otis told the Star his entire class was shocked when they saw Surlan in blackface. Students asked him directly what his Halloween costume was supposed to be.
“He got really defensive. He said ‘I thought it would look cool,’ ” said Otis. “I think it’s so immature, and as a teacher too, I was really shocked. I didn’t know what to do at that point, I didn’t know if I was going to walk out.”
The students then went to the gym for what they described as a meet-up with other Grade 9 students, and he said the teacher wore the blackface to the gathering and it didn’t seem like any other teachers were confronting him about it.
“He was in there with like 100 students, and other teachers,” he said. “I think the other teachers took it really chill, way too chill to be honest. They should have told him to take it off or to leave.”
The TDSB told the Star Sunday afternoon that the school had organized small group mentorship sessions for students in different locations throughout the building that day.
Otis said his class includes other Black students and that it was upsetting, and offensive, to see their teacher behave this way. “I come from my mom’s side of Black culture, and I think it was offensive personally to me. I really didn’t understand what he was thinking.”
He also said fellow classmates reported the incident to the office that morning, but were told Surlan was likely dressed as a ghoul or zombie.
Ikiriko said her son has also had to talk to other students who feel he is overreacting to the blackface, which has been a challenge.
The TDSB needs to create more speedy consequences to these issues, she said.
In the last year and a half, the TDSB has implemented new policies around anti-Black racism and creating a better learning environment. A new policy that came into effect in late October 2020 around reporting and responding to anti-Black racism required that all hate incidents be reported to the school board’s human rights office within 24 hours.
Ikiriko said she spoke to the principal of the school Friday.
“I was really emotional and said someone better call me back immediately. The administrator didn’t seem to know what I was talking about, but it was 2 o’clock,” she said, adding this was well after the teacher had been walking around the entire day in blackface. Ikiriko said the principal, Ardell, assured her that the superintendent had been notified about the incident.
“I said I’m not interested in apologies where [he] can say this is a grave mistake and then be back in class,” she said. “There’s so many levels of wrong that happened.”
The Star also spoke to another parent and student in the class, who took the photos of the teacher, who the Star is keeping anonymous due to concerns about backlash.
The student said the teacher wouldn’t give the class an explanation for the blackface. “It was really uncomfortable for me, and a lot of kids were really insulted, and I thought it was just disgusting,” he said.
Parent Cathy Gatlin has a son at Parkdale CI and said she heard about the incident Friday from other parents. She’s sending an open letter to the school calling on anti-Black racism to be dealt with at the school and is encouraging other parents to sign.
Gatlin went to the school Friday afternoon to ask to discuss it. She said the secretary was unaware of the issue.
“The vice-principal came out and said ‘yes, he’s been asked to wash it off.’ I was like, ‘but I feel like there needs to be more happening here,’ ” she said.
An issue the human rights office addressed in the February 2021 report is that a backlog of complaints sit in their system and need to be resolved faster.
“There has to be more accountability,” Gatlin said. “I would like there to be a really easy anonymous way for a child to address this, because no child should have to sit in a class and feel that uncomfortable in that situation. That’s not acceptable.”
“It has to be addressed more quickly,” she said.

30 x 30″, Oil on Canvas
I chose an earthy, opulent color scheme for this one–golds, browns, and grayish violets.
I wanted to capture the moment right before total solar eclipse, when that blinding corona of light bursts out from behind the black silhouetted disc of the moon, and the last bit of gleaming light peeks around the edge to create the “diamond ring effect.”
In reality, during a total eclipse the sky would have the appearance of nighttime, but I didn’t want to make the painting too dark and I wanted it to remain colorful–so I imagine the light golden parts of the sky near the horizon represent the glow of the sun reflecting off the atmosphere, coming from the part of the Earth not yet shadowed by the eclipse. These paintings are not meant to be astronomically correct, only to transmit the wonder of the moment!
The many bright stars sparkle throughout the sky, scattered through the depths of space.
Colorful clouds swirl in constant movement, and I kept it purposely ambiguous as to whether they are clouds of moisture in the Earth’s atmosphere or distant clouds of galactic dust and debris.
I have not yet witnessed a total solar eclipse in person, so this illustration is only from my imagination and from what I have seen in photos of the event. Epic, mind-blowing!

A new law partially addresses that situation. AB 70 was signed by the governor this week. It adds a new section 8307 to the California Water Code:
(a) A city or county may be required to contribute its fair and reasonable share of the property damage caused by a flood to the extent that
the city or county has increased the state’s exposure to liability for property
damage by unreasonably approving new development in a previously undeveloped area that is protected by a state flood control project. However,a city or county shall not be required to contribute if, after the amendments required by Sections 65302.9 and 65860.1 of the Government Code have become effective, the city or county complies with Sections 65865.5, 65962,and 66474.5 of the Government Code as applicable with respect to that development. This section shall not be construed to extend or toll the statute of limitations for challenging the approval of any new development.
(b) A city or county is not required to contribute unless an action has been filed against the state asserting liability for property damage caused by a flood and the provisions of subdivision (a) providing for contribution have been satisfied. A city or county is not required to contribute if the state settles the claims against it without providing the city or county with an opportunity to participate in settlement negotiations.
The statute defines “unreasonably approving” as meaning "approving a new development project without appropriately considering significant risks of flooding made known to the approving agency as of the time of approval and without taking reasonable and feasible action to mitigate the potential property damage to the new development resulting from a flood."
The liability provision does not become effective until related legislation is passed, and it is obviously hedged in with qualifications. But at least it is a start in reducing the incentives for development in high risk areas.


It's that time of year when we love all kinds of people. Let's face it, we have people we love whole-heartedly. As for the people that make life harder for us, we pay attention because their stories are unique. NOTHING AT ALL is a Gentle Giant song about a female crazy maker. It's special because it's a radio edit by mixer to the Prog Stars Steven Wilson. Every other song is about all the different love we have for all the different people! Happy holidays!!!!

Today I will be reviewing A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston.
I finished this book in the matter of days, and it truly was a great book. Johnson's writing is lyrical and beautiful. Her dialogue is woven with the threads if the story that this novel was originally based off of. A thousand and one Arabian nights. Although the plotsequence disappointed me with this book, once we hit the real problem hit the story, it was impossible to put down! I really did enjoy the characters, they made a very refreshing cast. The only real problem I had with this was the fact that sometimes things showed up out of nowhere in a sense, but most of these were resolved later on. Johnston created a masterpiece that lives up to all of the reviews given to it.

Thursday, June 8, it became known that the government of Quebec has announced a moratorium on approval of new projects for the mining of cryptocurrencies. The main purpose of the suspension was to give officials time to prepare the new restrictions and the possible increase in electricity prices.
It is reported that during the moratorium the government will prescribe the rules and form criteria that must be met by mining projects, which will be allowed to operate in the canadian province.
Quebec is known for its low electricity prices, thanks to our own hydroelectric complex. For the production and transportation of all electricity in the province responds to Hydro-Quebec. Now the company hopes to limit miners capacity to 500 megawatts. This is only a small fraction of those 17 000 megawatts required mining farms now. In addition, Hydro-Quebec appealed to the energy Board of Quebec with a request to increase electricity tariffs.
Recall that in Quebec is not the first time prohibit the opening of farms. For example, in March the same Hydro-Quebec for a short period, stopped the admission of new clients, arguing that his decision by the fact that miners and so consume too much energy. According to calculations, if each farm will have access to electricity, the company will not be able to meet the demand.
The new rules will allow Hydro-Quebec to choose the “best” among the farms for mining cryptocurrency. As noted by the President of distribution company Eric Filion (Eric Filion), this measure will help the province grow in economic terms without detriment to local residents.

The Grand National
The Grand National is the UK’s most famous National Hunt race and probably the most famous steeplechase in the world. It is run at the Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool and the one race on which many people who rarely bet enjoy a flutter. So what is it about this iconic race that makes it so appealing? Here are some interesting facts about its special magic.
The first official Grand National was run in 1939 at the Aintree racecourse, though three similar steeplechases had been run before, the first of these in 1936 being the first steeplechase to be run in Liverpool. These early races had been more local events while the 1939 race benefitted from the opening of the railway and an official organising committee.
The early races were billed as the “Grand Liverpool Steeplechase” and the race was renamed in 1847 as “The Grand National Handicap Steeplechase”, still its official name today. Apart from during the First and Second World Wars and in 1993 when the race was cancelled, the race has been held every year.
The richest of all races
Today the Grand National is the richest of all horse races with a prize pool of £1 million. But it isn’t just the prize money that attracts so many entrants; it is also the prestige. The Grand National is probably the most coveted trophy of all; by jockey, by owner, and by trainer alike.
The toughest steeplechase in the world
Many consider the National to be the toughest of all steeplechases. With a field of 40, over four miles to run, two laps of Aintree, 30 jumps over 16 fences, many being particularly challenging, their claim is justified. Many horses and riders fall: the most runners ever to finish were 23, in 1984, and the fewest were two, in 1928. Today the fences might be a little less difficult than they used to be; but they still pose a huge challenge to both horse and rider.
The best horses and unpredictable results
The best thoroughbreds in the land, from the best stables, trained by the best trainers, and ridden by the best jockeys compete in the race. Yet the results are notoriously unpredictable. Often horses picked out randomly from a hat do better than those recommended by tipsters. It isn’t at all unusual for outsiders to finish well or even win. The 2009 race was won by Mon Mome by 12 lengths at odds of 100/1; the fifth 100/1 winner in the race’s history, and Auroras Encore, the winner of the 2013 National came in at 66/1. In fact the favourite has won only on 9 occasions and failed to finish in over half the races.
Grand National Legends
There is no shortage of Grand National legends. Probably the most famous of all is Red Rum who won the race in 1973, 1974 and 1977 and finished second in 1975 and 1975. His first win was the most spectacular; he came from 20 lengths behind the leader to grab victory. By the time he retired he had established celebrity status and made many public appearances. Until he was no longer able to do so he always led the Grand National parade. He lays buried close to the Aintree winning post.
Picking a winner
Picking a Grand National winner isn’t easy though there might be better ways of doing so than randomly sticking a pin in the racing card. An analysis of recent races shows that 88% of winners have a history of doing well in big fields. Also all recent winners had previously won races of at least three miles. It might not be much to go on, but at least it’s a start.

The Healing Hands medical mission, conducted by St. Luke's Society (SLS) in the Philippines, provided free medical services to over 500 residents of Olango Island in Lapu-Lapu City on January 27th and 28th. The mission included departments such as internal medicine, dentistry, traditional medicine, and pharmacy.
A total of 38 volunteers from South Korea participated in the mission, along with two Filipino doctors. The Filipino doctor in charge of internal medicine conducted thorough medical examinations, including detailed patient interviews, to diagnose various illnesses among the local residents.
SLS has been conducting medical missions in the past few years, and its scale and the number of participants are growing each year. On top of helping those in need of healing, through the medical mission, SLS also seeks to find more like-minded professionals to form Christ-honoring fellowship in the medical field.
The mission of SLS is not only to bring physical healing and comfort to the sick and needy, but primarily to fulfill the Great Commission through medicine, bringing holistic healing to both medical professionals and patients through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
May SLS and its Healing Hands Medical Mission bring Christ-centered impact to many more around the world, overcoming diseases in the name of Jesus.

"You want me to be frank with you?" Kiran Kumar Reddy asked the civil service probationer who asked him about corruption in politics in Hyderabad on Tuesday. And then proceeded to spill out the worst kept secret in India. That political corruption is very real. Reddy should have ideally stopped there but it was one of those days, when the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister was in no mood to play in the 'V'.
"Excess money with the politicians always comes back into the system during elections. So do not worry too much about political corruption. I am not saying encourage political corruption but you should think more about business corruption, officer corruption, etc," Reddy said.
One wonders if Reddy forgot who he was addressing. These were some of the finest minds in the country, most of them in their early 20s, set to administer different parts of India in a few months from now. And more importantly, most of them would be wearing their optimism, idealism and enthusiasm on their sleeve. To them, a chief minister sermonising on turning a blind eye to political corruption, is certainly not what the doctor ordered.
Ok, let us, for a moment, compliment Reddy for not being economical with the truth. He had the courage to say what most politicians would only utter off the record and off camera. But what is deplorable is that a chief minister is virtually legitimising and defending the scourge of corruption. Telling the future administrators of the country in a most brazen manner that political corruption is a holy cow.
Reddy almost makes it seem the political class is indulging in social service of some sort by ploughing the money back into the system. Do note that he emphasises "at the time of elections". Now, don't we all know why money is spent liberally at the time of polls. Obviously to buy votes.
But that is only half the truth. It is an erroneous assumption to make whatever money the politician makes during his or her years in power, is ploughed back into the system. He spends only a part of it and that too, with an intention to renew his 'license' to indulge in political corruption for another five years.
It is strange that Kiran Kumar Reddy who has himself seen the fallout of political corruption on his own party in Andhra Pradesh, should be defending it. The former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy has been virtually disowned by the Congress because of allegations of corruption against his regime. His son, Jagan is in prison for more than a year now. Kiran's own Cabinet colleague is a resident of Hyderabad prison and two of his ministers had to resign after being chargesheeted by the CBI. Does the CM now mean to say the bureaucrats should ignore if more of the political ilk indulge in corruption?
Let it also not be forgotten that many IAS officers too are in the dock in Andhra Pradesh because they either chose to allegedly participate in the loot or turned a blind eye to the irregularities committed during the Congress regime in 2004-09. Does Reddy want these young officers also to meet the same fate?
Let it be said here that Kiran personally has a fairly clean image. He is not your archetypal sleazy dishonest neta. He does mention that money alone does not win elections. But I would have personally liked him to tell the young officers to show spine, stand up to the political establishment and emulate the Ashok Khemkas of the world. But Mr Chief minister, you disappointed.
What he admitted is that it is not possible to practise politics without breaching ethics. That honesty and survival in public life are not compatible. What is even more unfortunate is that there wasn't a tinge of regret when Reddy gave his candid advice to the officers. I can bet, they would have gone back, without a Kiran of hope.

The Characters (Masterplots II: American Fiction Series, Revised Edition)
Although the book’s focus is on the title character, the other major characters in Alice Adams are also developed and rounded. As individual as his main characters are, Tarkington uses them all to develop his ideas about the dishonesty of a social system based upon appearances and material wealth. Through his main characters, Tarkington includes all social classes, from the lowest to the highest.
At first, Alice Adams strikes the reader as merely an appealing young woman whose main concerns are the related issues of the social life of her peers and the finding of a suitable, financially sound beau. Quickly, however, Tarkington introduces the idea that will govern his novel: the search for identity. After lying to Arthur, Alice stares at herself in her mirror and asks the question, “Who in the world are you?” The book becomes the story of her quest for identity in a society in which identity is largely a construct and extension of material wealth.
Alice’s father, Virgil Adams, enjoys a naturally ethical character. His loyalty to his employer is absolute until Mrs. Adams finally breaks down his objections under the force of larger obligations to his family and its fortune. Virgil works in the “old hole,” and his name suggests Dante Alighieri’s Virgil, who serves as a guide to hell. The allusion refers both to the family’s inexorable downward slide and to Virgil’s failure or sin in ethics and judgment. Only after his...

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Alice Adams, a dreamer whose family is not rich enough to send her to college. She tries to attract attention by affected mannerisms. Disappointed in every ambition, she finally stops daydreaming and, reluctantly, enrolls in Frincke’s Business College.
Virgil Adams, her father, an employee of the Lamb Wholesale Drug Company and part discoverer of the formula for a special glue. The co-discoverer has died. The failure of Virgil’s project to manufacture the glue causes him to have a stroke.
Mrs. Adams, Alice’s socially ambitious mother, who nags her husband to make more money but ends up taking in boarders.
Walter Adams, their son, who has stolen three hundred dollars from his employer. He is more interested in gambling with waiters than in dancing with his sister at Mildred’s party.
Mildred Palmer, Alice’s best friend.
Frank Dowling, a fat, unpopular boy who is the only one attentive to Alice at the dance.
Arthur Russell, a distant relative of the Palmers who is momentarily interested in Alice, then finds her repulsive.
Mr. Lamb, who builds his own glue factory and destroys Virgil Adams’ prospects.
(The entire section is 219 words.)
Booth Tarkington was especially skillful in depicting women. Keith J. Fennimore in his critical study of Tarkington's books comments that "as Henry James is said to have done, Tarkington looked at women rather as women look at them; women look at women as persons, men look at them as women." Alice Adams is his finest portrait of a woman. Alice fantasizes, lies, and uses every ploy her imagination can conceive to convince herself and others that she does not belong in the steadily deteriorating circumstances of her family life. She does have charm and a certain degree of wit, and she is basically a realist who now and then pulls herself up short, and asks herself, "Why am I telling these lies?" Her struggle to win the wealthy socialite, Arthur Russell, strains her tactical resources to the utmost, but the reader comes to admire the real Alice beneath the pattern of lies she weaves to prevent Russell from coming too close to the other members of her family living in the small pseudo-colonial house. She has courage and determination, and these serve her well when she realizes on the night of an awful dinner party that she has no future with this young man. Her family is destroyed by its own lack of imagination and mediocrity, but she survives and plans for herself a future she is capable of realizing.
Virgil Adams is a well-drawn figure. He is a weak person who is finally goaded by his wife into a business venture that he knows at heart is beyond his...

A Houston woman was permitted to leave the United Arab Emirates and was reportedly on a flight headed back to the U.S. on Tuesday after monthsin public during an argument with a car rental company.
Social media influencer Tierra Allen, who posts online under the handle "Sassy Trucker," boarded a flight to the U.S. from the UAE after paying a fee of about $1,300 to have a travel ban lifted by authorities, according to the "Detained in Dubai" international nonprofit organization that worked to secure her return.
Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, announced Allen's imminent return home in a statement shared on social media, adding that the case had highlighted "the crucial role played by the media, and by the public, in demanding accountability and justice in the UAE."
"Tierra was living a nightmare and facing fines and lengthy imprisonment, until her case was brought into the spotlight of international media scrutiny. Without that attention, all too often, Emirati authorities pay little heed to due process, fairness, and human rights," Stirling said.
Allen was arrested in May following a confrontation with a male employee of a car rental company in Dubai.
"She was told at the police station (Bur Dubai) that she has been accused of 'shouting,' which under the UAE's laws is illegal under 'offensive behavior,' which is an unclear and subjective regulation, but warrants up to two years in prison, a fine and deportation," Stirling told CBS News last month.
Stirling also told CBS News the employee had been trying to intimidate Allen into paying thousands of dollars she didn't owe.
"Tierra is the latest American tourist to get caught up in what is a common rental car extortion scheme," Stirling said.
"Rental car agencies are notorious for opening criminal cases against visitors with the promise to drop the case if they are paid off. The prevalence of blackmail is damaging to the UAE's tourism and investment sectors and Dubai's government needs to crack down on this abuse of process," said Stirling, an activist and lawyer specializing in Arab nations' laws.
After being arrested and released on bail, Allen was not allowed to retrieve her belongings from the rental vehicle and later noticed that several fraudulent charges were attempted on her credit cards, which were in the back of the vehicle she had returned, according to Stirling.
The man who worked at the vehicle rental agency and initially accused Allen left the country for Pakistan after filing his police report, Stirling noted.
Allen has been told to not return to Dubai by UAE authorities, and Stirling said Allen told her she "was never thinking twice about coming back. I was so stressed every day."
Allen has not posted on her TikTok account since her detention.

Agoraphobia can be defined as the fear of being in a situation from which one cannot escape or a situation that humiliates the person. This causes people to avoid situations that they anticipate to be humiliating. Such a situation makes the person feel trapped and helpless. Everyday situations like standing in a queue, getting into an elevator, using public transport etc. can trigger Agoraphobia.
Agoraphobia affects more women than men. It usually affects people under the age of 35, but can sometimes affect older people as well. Having a relative in the immediate family circle that suffers from this condition can also increase a person's risk of suffering from it as well. Additionally, the death of a parent or loved one or domestic abuse could also trigger such behavior. Depression and alcohol or drug abuse could also increase a person's risk of suffering from this psychological disorder.
This phobia usually develops after a person experiences panic attacks or goes through an extremely stressful experience. Some typical symptoms of Agoraphobia include:
- The fear of being alone
- Fear of crowded places
- Fear of being in locked places from where you cannot escape
- Fear of losing control of one's actions
- Inability to leave the house alone
- Being overly dependent on others
You may also experience symptoms similar to those of a panic attack, such as excessive sweating, breathing difficulty, dizziness, diarrhea and chest pain.
An in depth interview with a counselor or doctor can help diagnose such a condition. A physical examination can also help rule out other health conditions that could be triggering such a reaction. To be diagnosed with Agoraphobia the patient needs to present at least two of the below symptoms:
- Severe fear of public transportation
- Fear of being in an open space such as a parking lot or mall
- Fear of being in closed spaces such as movie halls or elevators
- Fear of standing in line
- Fear of being in a crowd
- Fear of leaving home alone
Treatment for such a condition involves medication and psychotherapy. Anti depressants and anti anxiety medications are commonly used to treat such disorders. There are a number of different types of such medication and you may need to experiment with them before finding one that suits you. Psychotherapy or talk therapy focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy that reduces anxiety symptoms and teaches patients how to deal with fears. If you fear leaving the home alone, you could take someone along with you or consult a therapist who can offer you telephonic advice, through email or meet you at your home.

Prolonged exposure to the scorching sun is the sole reason for a sunburn and heat rash.
Sunburn and rashes cause itching and redness on the skin and most commonly affects the face, neck, back or the chest due to exposure to temperature extremes.
Here are some easy and effective home remedies, collected from grandmothers’ recipes, for you to try this summer to treat sunburn and heat rashes:
1. Gram flour (besan):
Gram flour or besan smoothens the skin and acts as a cleanser. It helps to remove the impurities, sweat, and dirt that clog the pores from the skin surface. You can prepare a thick paste of gram flour and water/rose water. Apply the paste on the affected area or rashes and keep it for 10-15 minutes. Wash away with cold water.
2. Baking soda:
Baking soda has antibacterial properties that prevent infections and also help to smoothen the burnt area. Mix half a spoon of baking soda and water. Using a soft cloth, dip it in the solution and gently rub over the affected areas. Rinse after a couple of minutes.
3. Raw potato:
A raw potato is a rich source of starchy compounds and helps to reduce the burning sensation of sunburn/heat rash. It acts as an emollient that softens the skin and reduces the redness. Slice a raw potato and place it on the affected area. Leave the potato slice on for 15 minutes and then rinse the face with cold water.
Papaya is a rich source of antioxidants and enzymes that have healing abilities and helps to treat sunburns and rashes. It also acts as an exfoliator to unclog and clear the pores. Slice the papaya and mash it. Apply the paste on the affected area for a few minutes and let it dry. Wash it with cold water.
5. Coconut oil:
Coconut oil is hydrating and therefore helps to nourish the skin. Anti-bacterial in nature, it helps to smoothen the skin immediately and also renews the skin. Apply coconut oil on the rash or affected area and leave it for some time. The skin shall absorb it and get nourished.

Quotes by Duke Ellington about his "American Music"
Band leader and pianist, Duke Ellington called his music "American Music" rather than jazz. Here are some of his words and thoughts about music.
“What is music to you? What would you be without music? Music is everything. Nature is music (cicadas in the tropical night). The sea is music, the wind is music. The rain drumming on the roof and the storm raging in the sky are music. Music is the oldest entity. The scope of music is immense and infinite. It is the ‘esperanto’ of the world.”
"Roaming through the jungle of 'oohs' and 'ahs', searching for a more agreeable noise, I live a life of primitivity with the mind of a child and an unquenchable thirst for sharps and flats."
“Art is dangerous. It is one of the attractions: when it ceases to be dangerous you don't want it.”
“I never had much interest in the piano until I realized that every time I played, a girl would appear on the piano bench to my left and another to my right.”
“Music is my mistress and she plays second fiddle to no one.”
“By and large, jazz has always been like the kind of a man you wouldn’t want your daughter to associate with.”
“If it sounds good and feels good, then it IS good!”
“There is no art without intention. Playing music is like an act of murder; you play with intent to commit something."
“There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind.”
“Playing ‘bop’ is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing.”
“It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.”

Antioxidant Properties Of Liquid Smoke Cinnamon Production Of Variation Of Purification And Different ConcentrationJournal: International Journal of Scientific & Technology Research (Vol.5, No. 6)
Publication Date: 2016-06-15
Authors : I Ketut Budaraga; Arnim; Yetti Marlida; Usman Bulanin;
Page : 266-273
Keywords : purification; liquid smoke; cinnamon; antioxidants.;
This study aims to determine the antioxidant properties of liquid smoke derived from a combination of purification and concentration of different liquid smoke. This study was conducted experimentally using factorial design in completely randomized 8 eight x 6 six treatment with 3 replications so that there are 144 experimental units. Treatment of purification include purification by distillation temperature of 100 10 C purification by distillation temperature of 14010C purification using activated charcoal purification using activated charcoal and zeolite mixture 5050 purification by decantation for 1 day 2 days and decantation decantation 3 days. Treatment includes the concentration of 1 ppm 10 ppm 100 ppm 500 ppm 1000 ppm and 1500 ppm. Variables observed consisted of the levels of antioxidants in the form of a percentage of inhibition inhibition. The results showed a highly significant interaction P 0.01 in the combination of purification with different concentrations of liquid smoke to the percentage of inhibition. The antioxidant activity of liquid smoke of 8 eight treatment purification and they are all strong because the IC 50 of 55.92 ppm. Liquid smoke antioxidant levels of 6 six different concentrations of liquid smoke are all relatively weak as a result of activity antioxsidant IC50 of 3589.7 ppm. In the combined treatment of 8 eight purification with liquid smoke concentration of 1500 ppm produced IC 50 of 43.12 ppm belonging to produce a potent antioxidant activity while the combination of other treatments less antioxidant activity. Based on these results it can be concluded that the antioxidant activity using different purification at a concentration of 1500 ppm liquid smoke is better used than other purification.

Question about Apple iPod MA446LL/A MP3 Player
My ipod was connected to the usb cable and it fell while still connected. it obviously damaged the bottom part of the ipod that connects to the usb cable. it will still connect to the usb cable but it will not recognize it on the computer, ipod, or sound dock. the ipod kept working fine afterwards but after the battery died i haven't been able to charge it. is this something i can fix? how much am i looking at spending? thanks for your help!
So basicly the bottom connector is broke. possibly the whole mainboard would need to be replaced or simply the connector replaced
Some tech might replace the parts for 40-60usd. I cant say for sure since I dont know how bad it is.

Tips for a great answer:
Sometimes, you might find that your computer does not read that the iPod is connected to the USB port, preventing the synchronization of new files.
There are several potential causes for this lack of hardware recognition and many steps can be taken to troubleshoot the causes.
Reset your iPod's internal software using the key combination appropriate for your model. Apple's support documentation details how to do this for each available model.
Install all iTunes software updates and restart your computer.
Connect your iPod directly to a USB port on the computer.
Do not attach through a keyboard port or USB hub.
These might not provide enough power to operate the iPod.
Connect the iPod to a secondary USB port.
If the iPod is recognized now, the original USB port might be damaged.
Connect the iPod using a secondary iPod USB cable.
If the iPod is recognized now, the original USB cable might be damaged and should be replaced.
Restore the iPod using a computer that can read it as a last resort. Connect the iPod to another computer, launch iTunes and select "Restore" from the iPod information screen.
This will erase all data and restore default settings.
Contact Apple support or visit an Apple store for further help if your iPod still cannot be seen. An advanced hardware issue might be present and a warranty hardware replacement might be indicated.
Hope this helps

The Federal Railroad Administration has joined hands with Google Maps to provide a safer rail-crossing experience to the drivers. The partnership was announced on Monday and according to it, Google will be denoting all the grade crossings in the U.S. so that drivers are safe while following the map.
The grade crossing accidents have increased last year. From 12,000 a year in 1970s to 2000 a year in the recent time, the decrease is phenomenal. However, last year, it increased by 9% which has made authorities worry about the safety of the drivers.
Last year, 270 people died in highway rail-crossing accidents, which were up from 232 previous year. Grade crossing accidents killed 533 people, and it is the highest rail fatality cause for rail, after trespassing accidents. According to The New York Times report, 843 people were injured in the rail-crossing accidents.
There are around 13,000 public and 85,000 private grades in the U.S. and the tech giant is expected to cover most of them. Google Maps is the most followed map by drivers on the road, and with the integration of grade crossing information, it can be expected that they will be safe.
The Federal Railroad Administration is aware that people follow other apps, too, and they are dependent on either Facebook or their Apple device for roadmaps. The new feature for grade crossing may come handy for them. The company may be soon announcing collaboration with other mapping services like Apple, MapQuest, TomTom and Garmin for the same kind of feature.
Sarah Feinberg, Federal Railroad Administration’s acting administrator, said, “The vast majority of these accidents and deaths are preventable.
“In some cases, maybe a driver intends to beat the train, thinks they are familiar with the route or still have time to cross. But there are many cases where drivers lack situational awareness, because it may be dark or the route is unfamiliar.”
The cause of the increased number of grade crossing accidents is still not clear. The advanced economy may have put more people on the road or it may be the inattentiveness of drivers. With the new technology, it is expected that some lives would be saved.

Kidney Stone Composition
Depending on the type of mineral that forms a kidney stone in a particular patient, dietary changes can lessen the probability of subsequent episodes. Consuming an increased amount of water and juices keeps urine dilute and will help prevent a concentration of minerals which may lead to kidney stone formation.
What is PBL?
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a type of lesson that develops problem-solving strategies and content knowledge using open-ended, real-world tasks.
Students are engaged in critical thinking as they work through a scenario that addresses real-life topics and issues. The scenario problem may or may not have one “right” answer.
Evidence suggests that PBL enhances both transfer of concepts to new problems and integration of science concepts into real-world issues. It also fosters more student interest in the PBL topics.
Some of the PBL modules deal with clinical trials. At first, clinical trials may not seem to be related to topics generally covered in typical high school science classes. There is no national or state standard that deals with clinical trials, right? But, standards do target the scientific method, application of science concepts, science in society, science in inquiry, and the nature of science. And all of these are incorporated into clinical trials studies.
As you find out more about the clinical trials process, you will see how important scientific methodology—the same methods used in all scientific investigations—are in clinical research. Every science subject begins the year with a review on some level of the Scientific Method. The CyberSurgeons clinical trials modules allow the students to see the scientific method in action—in real-life scenarios.
Look at the choices for problem-based learning modules in the upper menu display. Click on the titles to read an overview of the module, the scenario, some guiding questions, and the scenario task. Your teacher may have other instructions for your team. While the basic criteria may be defined, problem-based learning allows you to take the tasks in a variety of directions—you can take it as far as you want to go!
Each PBL module comes with support information to help you get started and a list of internet resources to point you in the right direction. Just find the resources in the left-side menus for each module and get started!

Sage Electrochromics has shipped its first large order of energy-saving, variable-tint glass from its $150 million Faribault, Minn., factory that’s ramping up toward full production.
The new plant allows Sage, a unit of Paris-based building products giant Saint-Gobain, to produce larger-sized, lower-cost electrochromic glass for major commercial buildings. Electrochromic glass changes tint with the flip of a switch to reduce solar radiation. Sage’s first large order was shipped to Argonne National Lab’s Advanced Protein Crystallization Facility, which is under construction outside of Chicago, the company said last week. The lab’s south-facing wall will have more than 2,000 square feet of SageGlass that controls glare and heat gain, the company said.
The new, larger factory next to Sage’s Faribault headquarters was completed last year. The market for smart glass is expected to grow eightfold to nearly $700 million by 2020. Sage’s technology offers energy savings on lighting, heating and cooling. Saint-Gobain, a huge French building products company, acquired Sage in 2012.
Cargill makes $1 billion supplier pledge
Cargill has pledged to buy $1 billion of supplies annually from women- and minority-owned firms, doubling its $460 million annual buying. CEO Greg Page made the commitment during last month’s annual meeting of the Midwest Minority Supplier Development Council (MMSDC) in Golden Valley. In attendance were more than 450 minority business owners and representatives of General Mills, Ameriprise, Best Buy, Cargill, 3M, Deluxe, Medtronic, U.S. Bank and other local corporations.
The supplier council comprises large firms and minority entrepreneurs determined to expand supply chains. The effort not only enhances employment, training and technical skills within the smaller firms, but also gives the larger firms access to responsive, nimble and skilled minority-owned companies.
MMSDC President Duane Ramseur said: “With this, Cargill will join the MMSDC’s Billion Dollar Round Table Club, which has 18 corporate members …[including] Dell, AT&T, Boeing, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Ford’’ among others.
Page said his farm-and-food global giant will gradually diversify its supplier base. Cargill already does business with local minority-owned firms such as Synico Staffing, Catallia Mexican Foods, Worldwide Technology, and research and investment firm Harris & Ford.
3m wins gold ‘edison award’ for its led bulb
3M has been honored by the national Edison Awards for fostering innovation with two recent technological developments.
3M’s “LED Advanced Light”received a gold award in the lighting category while the “3M Molecular Detection System” earned a silver award in the diagnostic/analytic systems category.
The 3M LED light — the company’s first-ever bulb — is appropriate for an innovation award named after incandescent light-bulb inventor Thomas Edison. The 3M light provides an option that’s just as bright as a traditional bulb, lasts up to 25 years, saves energy and provides “a more friendly and functional light source at a fraction of the energy,” said Ray Johnston, a scientist for the 3M electronics and energy group lab. “It’s beyond meaningful to receive an award associated with Thomas Edison, someone regarded as the father of the light bulb.”
3M Food Safety’s new 3M Molecular Detection System, designed to detect dangerous food-related pathogens like salmonella, E. coli and listeria, saves time for processors, increases their productivity and ensures their overall testing accuracy.
campbells cited for ‘service above self’
Jim Campbell, retired CEO of Wells Fargo Minnesota, and his wife, Carmen, recently were honored with the Service Above Self Award of the Rotary Club of Minneapolis, Rotary’s highest honor. Jim Campbell led the Itasca Project, served as president of the University of Minnesota Foundation, chaired the board of Abbott Northwestern Hospital and also served Courage Center, Junior Achievement and the Children’s Home Society. The Campbells are decades-long United Way volunteers and leaders.
Jim Campbell was the driver behind Wells Fargo acquiring the former Honeywell campus in south Minneapolis in 2000 and renovating and expanding it as a regional headquarters for Wells Fargo Mortgage, one of the biggest private construction projects ever in Minneapolis. Carmen Campbell, a onetime Minneapolis schoolteacher, serves on the board of the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota and North Dakota. She served Cornerstone, a Bloomington shelter and provider of domestic abuse prevention services. She has also served on the board of Children’s Theatre of Minneapolis and as a trustee of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Past Rotary award winners include Chuck Denny, Wheelock Whitney, Bill and Penny George and Marilyn Carlson Nelson.
Wells Fargo Advisors, Merrill Lynch fined
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the securities industry cop, last week fined Wells Fargo Advisors and Merrill Lynch a total of $2.15 million and ordered them to pay $3 million-plus in restitution to customers for losses on floating-rate bank loan funds. Such funds are mutual funds that invest in secured senior loans made to borrowers whose credit quality is rated below investment-grade. The funds are subject to significant credit risks.
FINRA found that Wells Fargo and Banc of America brokers (now Merrill Lynch) recommended floating-rate bank loan funds “to customers whose risk tolerance, investment objectives, and financial conditions were inconsistent with the risks.’’ The firms didn’t admit any wrongdoing, but they consented to FINRA’s findings.

Fresh photos have emerged showing what’s purportedly the new and improved logic board for Apple’s sixth-generation iPhone.
Unearthed by the good folk at iMore, the super-blurry shots (surprise, surprise) reveal a very faint-looking A6 logo, giving the iPhone 5 rumour-mill a much-needed kick as we drag ever closer to the handset’s imminent unveiling.
Although industry chatter has long posited that Apple will likely opt to equip the iPhone 5 with a modified version of the A5X processor that debuted on the new iPad, iMore has a theory why it might instead go with a new A6 chippy instead.
Apple introduced its first in-house chipset design, the Apple A4 SoC (system-on-chip) with the original iPad, which was later modified for the iPhone 4. It then launched the Apple A5 chip with the iPad 2, which was again modified for the iPhone 4S.
Since introducing its first in-house chipset design, the Apple A4 SoC, with original iPad, Apple has added a new processor with iPad iteration, which it modified for each new iPhone.
What’s in an X?
While logic dictates that Apple would modify the A5X for the iPhone 5, the A5X was specifically designed to support the tablet’s Retina resolution of 2048 x 1536 with the addition of a quad-core GPU, far beyond the capacity needed to support the 1136 x 640 resolution of the rumoured four-inch iPhone 5 display.
Adding an A5X chip with the iPhone 5, even a modified one, would be overkill, while scaling it down would be a step backwards. iMore believes Apple will want to keep things consistent by going for the same type of CPU and GPU performance leaps that it brought with the iPhone 4S.
It says whether the iPhone 5 chipset is called the A6 or not is a branding decision in the end. To us, at least, it makes more sense that Apple should introduce a new processor with the iPhone first and upgrade it accordingly for the iPad.
That said, all this is still conjecture based on an image that may well be photoshopped. Whatever the case, the iPhone 5 is sure to receive a considerable performance upgrade if it’s going to keep up, or even exceed, the capabilities of the new iPad.

Does vinegar remove paint from concrete?
Vinegar will remove paint from concrete. All you have to do is take a half cup of vinegar and heat it. Apply the hot vinegar to the paint and let it soak for 15 minutes.
What is the best paint remover for concrete?
Dumond Chemicals Smart Strip is an environmentally responsible assisting agent when removing paint from concrete. This odor-free, water-based and completely biodegradable product is for green buyers who want to contribute to a clean world.
How do you remove paint from concrete without chemicals?
If you want to remove paint from concrete without using chemicals then a pressure washer and soda blaster are the eco-friendly options. There are also nontoxic paint strippers such as soy gel, nontoxic, biodegradable paint strippers, etc.
Do I need to remove paint from concrete before repainting?
Doing the prep work before you repaint a concrete floor avoids a peeling paint job later. Concrete paint can be purchased in either latex or oil-based epoxy enamel. Remove all flaking, peeling paint using a scraper and wire brush. Smooth and sand rough edges using 100-grit sandpaper.
Will vinegar and baking soda remove paint?
A natural way to remove paint from metal surfaces is to combine baking soda and water or white vinegar and water over a heat source. You can do this on your stovetop with a disposable pot or pan. For every quart of water, add 1/4 cup of baking soda or vinegar and bring the water to a boil.
Can you get fence paint off concrete?
Try something more powerful, such as petrol, white spirit, or acetone (nail varnish remover). Or try a blowtorch (just don’t overcook it and crack it). Or paint the whole thing with fence paint.
Will paint thinner damage concrete?
While it is safe to apply paint thinners to hard materials, such as concrete and cement, always test the solvent in an inconspicuous area first as they have been known to damage some surfaces.
Will acrylic paint come off concrete?
Acrylic paint is water-based and much easier to remove than oil-based paints. With some effort, it can be removed from almost any surface. Fortunately, concrete can tolerate many cleaning methods, making it a durable surface to work with. The key is to pull the paint out from the porous surface.
Does vinegar remove paint?
Vinegar is an easy, inexpensive and effective way to remove dried, stuck-on paint from windows and other hard surfaces. Most importantly, vinegar is economical, environmentally friendly and removes stubborn paint with absolutely no dangerous chemicals or toxic fumes. The vinegary smell soon dissipates.
How do you get latex paint off a concrete floor?
Apply a rag soaked with acetone or a commercial paint stripper to the spot for about 20 minutes. Take the rag off, scrape and scrub the area with warm, soapy water. Make sure to thoroughly clean the concrete with clean, soapy water once the paint is gone to remove any residue from the solvent.
What is the best way to clean concrete?
Mix 1/2 cup baking soda to one gallon of water for a gentle cleaning solution. Add 1/8 cup of liquid dish detergent. Spray on patio surface, let sit for 30 minutes, then scrub and rinse. For heavily stained or mildewed patios, you may need a pressure washer.
Will a pressure washer remove paint from concrete?
Pressure washing is one way to remove paint from wood, metal, concrete, and other exterior surfaces. Selecting a pressure washer with a range of 2,000 PSI to 4,000 PSI will give you the most effective power for removing peeling paint.
How do you strip a concrete floor?
- Cuviello Concrete achieved the clarity of reflection in this floor by fully refining the surface.
- Grinding is the most common way to mechanically strip a concrete floor before a new sealer or finish is applied.
- Mechanical techniques for abrading a floor include shot-blasting, sandblasting, grinding and scarifying.
