Network access control (NAC) is a set of policies, applied on a switch, to enforce security so that only trusted users and devices connected to the LAN of a campus or branch network is granted access to network resources. NAC also monitors and controls the activities of the users and devices after network access is granted.
You can implement NAC on a switch by configuring and deploying the port authentication profile on the switch ports..
An authentication profile defines the authentication method, fallback options, and other settings such as number of retries, maximum number of authentication requests that can be allowed for a supplicant, authentication server timeout, and so on, related to the communication between the switch and the supplicant (a user or device such as printer).
When you implement NAC in your network:
A supplicant sends a request for network access to the switch, which acts as the internet gateway for a campus or branch network. A supplicant can be a computer (desktop or laptop), a tablet, a phone, a headless device such as a printer, camera, or industrial controls, or a wireless access point.
The switch requests for credentials (username, password) of the supplicant, which the supplicant provides.
The switch validates the supplicant credentials by using the RADIUS server (authentication server).
If the supplicant credentials are valid, the switch grants access to the campus or branch network through one of its ports. Based on the firewall filters configured, the switch enforces polices on the supplicant to restrict access to the network resources.
If the switch is unable to validate the supplicant credentials, the supplicant is denied network access completely or is restricted to access only the internet.
Detailed session records including user and device details, session types, and service details are maintained in the RADIUS accounting server for troubleshooting, class-of-service (CoS) control, and billing purposes.
Types of Authentication
CSO allows you to configure the following types of authentication on the switch:
802.1x—In this type of authentication, the supplicant is authenticated based on the credentials provided.
You can configure the following three modes for authenticating the supplicant in a LAN or WLAN when using the 802.1x authentication:
Single: The switch authenticates only the first supplicant requesting network access, in a LAN. All other supplicants in the LAN that connect later to the port are allowed full access without any further authentication, based on the first supplicant’s authentication.
Single Secure: Allows only one supplicant in a LAN to connect to a port. No other supplicant in the LAN is allowed to connect until the first supplicant logs out.
Multiple: Allows multiple supplicants in a LAN to connect to a port at the same time. Each supplicant is authenticated individually.
MAC address authentication—In this authentication, the switch sends the MAC address of the supplicant, instead of the credentials to the RADIUS server for authentication. This type of authentication is used when the switch does not receive the authentication request packet from the supplicant. This method is also used by users (contractors or guests) and devices such as printers, cameras, and industrial controls that do not have a user interface to provide credentials.
When a supplicant is not authenticated because the RADIUS server is inaccessible or the supplicant has provided incorrect credentials, you can configure the switch to:
Allow network access.
Deny network access
Move the supplicant to a specific VLAN (server-fail VLAN when the RADIUS server is inaccessible and server-reject VLAN when the supplicant’s credentials are rejected by the RADIUS server)
If the RADIUS server is unreachable when reauthenticating a supplicant during a session, the supplicant is allowed access based on prior authentication. However, a new supplicant requesting network access are denied network access.
You can configure a guest VLAN on the switch to provide limited network access (only to the Internet) for:
Guests and contractors
Devices that are not 802.1X enabled and on which the MAC RADIUS authentication is not configured or supported.
For detailed information about network access control on an EX Series switch, see User Access and Authentication Feature Guide.

Lady Gaga emerged from a coffin in black patent leather with a baby bump to perform “Born This Way” during BBC Radio 1s Big Weekend. The pop phenom headlined the second day of the festival in Carlisle, England, showcasing new material from her third album Born This Way, including “Americano” and an acoustic version of “The Edge of Glory,” which she wrote about her late grandfather. She dedicated a jazzy cover of Nat King Cole’s “Orange Colored Sky” to Prince William and Kate Middleton and ran through fan favorites like “Telephone,” “Alejandro,” and “Bad Romance.” With a cross over her crotch, the eccentric singer closed with her biblical-themed single “Judas.”

casino owners are make limits of bets amount?
Well... there're no "casino owners", it's just my pet project, not BWin eheheheh
It has no bet limit amount, but I'll need to trim it out on some features.
Blackjack has been disabled, and I'll disable the casino for a while to debug it as soon as possible. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of two projects to finish up the end of this month.
I may also rebuild it to Flash CS4 or CS5. Thus the engine is PHP. All the flash does is the frontend. But the code from Jackpot soft is a mess... If you're thinking about a real money casino made with this software, you'll have a lot to debug prior to go live.

Ring splints are small orthopedic devices that are custom-made to provide support and stability to the fingers affected by arthritis, trigger finger, and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome). These conditions can cause inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the fingers, making it difficult to perform daily tasks. That’s where ring splints come in. They are a growing trend in hand therapy and for a good reason.
Ring splints have been proven to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with these conditions.
Arthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and it is one of the leading causes of disability. Arthritis in the fingers can lead to pain, swelling, and deformities. There are several types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, and it occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of bones wears down over time. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, including those in the fingers. Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects some people with psoriasis, causing inflammation and joint damage.
Ring splints are particularly useful for people with arthritis in the fingers. They help to support the affected joint, reducing the pressure on the area and alleviating pain. They also improve mobility by providing stability to the joint, allowing the patient to perform their daily tasks more comfortably. Ring splints can also help prevent further damage to the joint by reducing the amount of stress placed on it.
Trigger finger is another condition that can be treated with ring splints. Trigger finger is a condition in which the tendon that controls the movement of the finger becomes inflamed, causing the finger to get stuck in a bent position. This can be painful and make it difficult to perform everyday tasks. The condition is more common in people with diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
Ring splints can help stabilize the affected joint and prevent it from getting stuck in a bent position. They reduce pain and improve function by providing support to the affected area. Ring splints can also prevent further damage to the joint by reducing the amount of stress placed on it.
EDS Ehler-Danlos Syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the connective tissues in the body, causing hypermobility and joint instability. People with EDS often have weak ligaments and tendons, making their joints more prone to dislocation and subluxation. EDS can affect any joint in the body, including the fingers.
JewelSplints are a type of ring splints that have been created by hand therapists to address the unique needs of EDS patients. These splints are adjustable, lightweight, and breathable, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods. JewelSplints are designed to look like a piece of jewelry, allowing EDS patients to wear them discreetly.
How do you take measurements? Taking measurements for JewelSplints – our ring splint product unlike other ring splint products is a simple process that can be done by the patient or a healthcare provider. The splints are adjustable and can be adjusted to fit the individual finger comfortably.
JewelSplints are made from a range of materials, including silver and titanium, which can be helpful for patients with metal sensitivities.
So, What are ring splints? They are valuable tools for people with arthritis, trigger finger, EDS, and other hand conditions. They provide support and stability to the affected joint, reducing pain and improving function. They are adjustable, customizable, lightweight, and breathing, making them an excellent option for people who want to live a normal life despite their condition.

Health promoting school initiative workshop
The Ministry of Health met with the Principals of Primary Schools on March 5th for a workshop focused on maintaining good health of primary school students.
Mrs. Helen Royer, the Coordinator of Health Promotion says that there is an increased concern for the health of children as recent surveys revealed startling results.
Student’s health includes that of their environmental health and principals need to ensure that students are provided with the basic necessities such as healthy facilities, proper shelter, ventilation and lighting, protection from biological threats, chemical threats and potential threats such as traffic accidents.
Miss Ferdina Carbon, the Senior Environmental Health Officer says that another area of concern is that of the standard of food safety practiced in schools.
In addition to the health of students she also touched on the environmental health of the administration, which also has to pay attention to their health practices at their workplace.
The Ministry of Health are making an attempt to lower CNCD’s and health problems by educating and maintaining health standards as facts from the Dominica STEPS Survey 2008 shows that 32.1% have raised blood sugar and raised cholesterol.

If you were to ask a man who’s single just how much he’d ask for for a evening out, he quite possibly wouldn’t contain much to state, because he shouldn’t like the idea of being “hooked on credit rating. ” A guy such as this will take care of everything suitable for you and will expect nothing in return.
He is likewise someone who is certainly economically responsible and reliable. Men who consumes his money wisely definitely will appreciate you as a good friend, not just a financial expense. If this individual has a stable job and is also willing to pay the bills punctually, he is a secure bet. You ought to be able to notify when a man is certainly not financially accountable, as he will not be as start and friendly as a dude who makes good money, but it will surely show up in his body language and conversations.

A man who may have a good amount of trust in your romantic relationship and is honest along is someone who will stay with you through thick and thin. Regardless of how much you imagine he really loves you, if he isn’t very serious about you, he will not likely do the things he says he will probably.
So if you want to make sure if you’re making a very good match, you should consider a man like this. There is not any reason why avoid getting able to find a male like this, and spend the rest assured that your absolutely adore will last.

(Hand-drawn map to help you visualize our location in the far west of Tsukuba)
Take the Tsukuba Express line to Banpaku Kinen Koen Station. Take a taxi from the station to the school (5.4km).
Take the Joso line to Mitsuma Station. Take a taxi from the station to the school (4.1km).
Please note that many car navigation systems will not have the school’s address registered. Please do not rely on (older) navigation systems to get to the school.
Go west on Tsuchiura Gakuen-sen past Tsukuba Center, LaLa Garden, and Yamashin Gran Stage. Continue on Tsuchiura Gakuen-sen for 5km past Gran Stage. The road will become smaller, going from 6 lanes, to 4 lanes, and finally 2 lanes. You will see a European (Tudor-style) house on your left just after the road narrows to two lanes. There is a traffic light just after the European house. At the next traffic light after the one in front of the European house, turn left. (There are only fields around this traffic light.) There is a sign at this intersection telling you to “turn here” for Tsukuba International School. Travel down this road for about 200 meters and you will see the school (a huge wooden building) on the left.
(Please note that this is a picture of the sign coming from the opposite direction.)

I chose the uber gorgeous Fairy Fae digi for my encouragement card. I just love, love, love the inside sentiment I chose... "Wherever you go, go with all your heart." It's a Confucious quote from the GKD Wild at Heart stamp set I purchased a few weeks ago.
I used four different shades of blue textured cardstock and did something a little different than normal. I butted the matted background up against the right edge without leaving a border of white and then placed the focal image to the extreme right. I'm a rebel like that and I think it looks pretty cool! And I'm still lovin' the all-blue! ;)
I used a mini butterfly with angel wings die that I haven't used in quite a while, and the fairly new Piestra Tile die that I just love. The only other embellishment needed was a few blue flat-back pearls.
And here's that awesome sentiment that I just love. No truer words were ever spoken!
I'd like to play in the following challenges:
- 4 Crafty Chicks: Challenge #164 - Multiple Layers!
- My Heart Pieces Digital Stamp Challenges: Anything Goes
- 4 Krafty Girlz Challenges: Challenge 4 - Anything Goes
- Inkspirational Challenges: Challenge #41 - Anything Inkspirational Goes
- My Creative Moments: October Word Play Saturday Challenge (Anything)
- Jo's Scrap Shack: Fun-Day Friday Challenge #22 - Anything Goes
- Sister Act Card Challenge: Challenge #29
- GKD Pure Luxury white cardstock (card base); Crafter's Companion white cardstock (image); 4 varying shades of blue DCWV textured cardstock
- Delicious Doodles Fairy Fae digital image
- Copics: E00/35, RV21, B00/02/05/91/93/95/97
- Sakura Stardust pen
- Cheery Lynn Mini Dimensional Butterflies with Angel Wings die
- Memory Box Piestra Tile die
- Sentiment from the GKD Wild at Heart stamp set
- Melissa Frances light blue flat-back pearls
- Kool Tak clear foam pads
Well, I hope this is all the inspiration you need to create an all-blue project for our "Play Some Blues!" challenge! Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time! ;)

The town doesn’t have solid budget figures for fiscal 2011 yet, but a majority of selectmen Tuesday night indicated they still want to go ahead with the annual town meeting on May 4 as planned.
Chairman Thomas V. Brennan Jr. was the lone dissenter. Mr. Brennan said he would prefer to have the meeting postponed until mid-June, when figures on the state’s contribution to the local budget might be clearer. The state Senate, he said, has not even begun to consider its own budget yet.
Selectmen Dianna Provencheer, Richard Antanavica and Stanley Zagorski all said it was unlikely that more concrete numbers would be available by June. Selectman Douglas A. Belanger did not attend the meeting.
Town Administrator Robert Reed said the town could put off actually balancing the budget until the fall, when local free cash figures are known.
Use of stabilization, or so-called “rainy day,” money on both the local and state levels took up much of the discussion at the meeting, which was attended by the two Massachusetts legislators who represent the town — state Sen. Michael O. Moore, D-Millbury, and state Rep. John J. Binienda, D-Worcester.
Selectmen indicated they think they have to use most, if not all, of the rainy day money to balance their local budget.
But the legislators indicated they hope to avoid using the rainy day money this year and save it to help local communities in fiscal 2012, which they think will be worse financially than 2011.

The confluence of technology, science and innovation at the country’s largest brewer, Zambian Breweries, has impressed Minister of Technology and Science Felix Mutati.
During a tour of the company’s Mungwi Road plant in Lusaka the minister was marvelled by the digital transformation taking place.
Manufacturing is a critical drive for creating entrepreneurs and other business opportunities, contributes 10% of GDP. The Zambian government’s ambition is that by 2030 manufacturing should add 30% to GDP.
Mr Mutati acknowledged Zambian Breweries’ drive to create a future with more cheers through its steps to harness technology to improve efficiency and productivity; together with elimination of waste was highlighted through the tour.
“Zambian Breweries has an eco-system where everyone benefits. Zambian Breweries makes earnings, the Zambian people also earn, and the government as well earns. Everybody takes something from the Zambian Breweries table. This is the ecosystem that we need to preserve,” said the minister.
“The innovation is value addition and also local sourcing of material. Your inputs are from the small-scale farmers that are now aggregated and are the ones that are creating that future with more cheers,” he told executives.
Zambian Breweries Country Director Michelle Kilpin explained that its enhanced technology was part of its parent AB InBev’s global strategy to lead and grow the beer sector, digitise and monetise the eco-system and optimise its business.
The nation’s largest brewer wishes to have 100% of its direct farmers skilled, connected and financially empowered by applying technology throughout its value chain, from connectedness to financial empowerment.
“Zambian Breweries needs to work hand-in-hand with the government in order to grow the economy, to create a platform where we all can win. Ultimately the investment we have announced is testimony to the confidence created by the new dawn government. As a corporate citizen we are optimistic in working with the ministry and government at large in order to create a future with more cheers,” said Ms Kilpin.
Corporate Affairs Director Ezekiel Sekele said: “We are able to digitise the ecosystem running through the entire value chain, from seed to sip.”
“Zambian Breweries is working with small scale farmers from Northern and Luapula provinces. The use of technology in our smart agriculture has not only helped us but the people of Zambia too. We would love to extend connectedness to sorghum farmers as well. The vulnerable but very valuable small-scale farmers of our country,” Mr Sekele added.
Zambian Breweries Mungwi Road plant head Albert Malunga said: “The new investment of US$80 million is happening on the ground throughout our production. It has brought empowerment, job creation and local employees. The use of machines and installation is all done by the local people of Zambia.
Mr Mutati told the company: “The New Dawn government is focused on creating confidence as a basis for pumping up investment. Zambian Breweries has gone beyond the confidence; you are confident in the New Dawn government, and in consequence you are expanding your investment in the plant.”
“That is the reason we have created the Public-Private Dialogue Forum: for the private sector and the public sector to sit together to address issues affecting the manufacturing industry with regard to regulation, administrative inconveniences and barriers to resolve,” he added.

The Army has awarded an other transaction authority agreement to upgrade its Phoenix satellite terminal system.
Envistacom--a small business specializing in wireless and satellite communications headquartered in Atlanta--was awarded the OTA agreement in January.
The Phoenix terminals, which are mounted on expanded capacity vehicles and used by expeditionary signal battalions to enable tactical communication, are reaching the end of their lifecycles, Alan Carson, senior vice president of Envistacom, said.
The program executive office for command, control and communications-tactical is currently pushing to modernize the Army's entire tactical network, meaning that systems such as radios must be changed to have IP-based standards, he noted.
"The objectives are to primarily increase the modularity, the scalability and flexibility of the system while providing some upgrades from a technical perspective, such as the incorporation of [internet protocol] ethernet interfaces versus serial connectivity," Carson said.
The development cycle for the Phoenix upgrades would typically take about five years, but Envistacom plans to reduce that to 18 months, Carson said. The Army is pushing a "more agile approach" for fielding new capabilities, and Envistacom, as a small business, provides it with "a little more agility" for meeting these timelines, he noted.
Additionally, the company is working to improve the system's cybersecurity. The terminal...

McQueen’s Machines: The Cars and Bikes of a Hollywood Icon
Home » Books » McQueen’s Machines: The Cars and Bikes of a Hollywood Icon
We’re big fans of Steve McQueen at Podium Life, having featured his custom Bell helmet. It seems fitting that we spotlight this incredible book.
No other Hollywood star has been so closely linked with cars and bikes, from the 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback he drove in Bullitt (possibly the greatest car chase of all time) to the Triumph motorcycle of The Great Escape. McQueen’s Machines gives readers a close-up look at the cars and motorcycles McQueen drove in movies, those he owned, and others he raced. With a foreword by Steve’s son, Chad McQueen, and a wealth of details about of the star’s racing career, stunt work, and car and motorcycle collecting, McQueen’s Machines draws a fascinating picture of one outsized man’s driving passion.


azdave Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 At 35 years old and 250,000 miles, I know there will always be something on my 87 DL wagon that needs some attention but it sure gets old fixing the new stuff I just installed. I don't mind repairing old, worn out parts but it is so irritating when new parts fail after only a few months. I went through at least 3 electric fuel pumps before I found one that was reliable. Now this week it was my 4 month old plastic/aluminum radiator that puked its guts. It cooled better than the very old, leaky brass radiator that came with the car so I was happy I changed it out. Unfortunately, the compression seal on the passenger side tank let go and it opened up a seam about 5'' long and dumped plenty of antifreeze down my driveway. It wasn't an over-pressure issue as the relief cap was new and also tested properly on the bench. I suspect that the rubber seal is low quality and it slowly squeezed out of the joint over time. It could also be that the compression seal was not up to snuff. I ended up repairing the old brass radiator that came with the car and so far, so good. It had 3 small tank leaks that I was able to silver-solder. It passed an overnight pressure test at 15 PSI. The winter season here should be no challenge for any radiator but we'll see in the summer how it does(if it makes it that far). The aftermarket radiator did seem much better at running cooler. My other repair this week was the driver's window crank. I recently became that guy at the drive-through who has to open the door to order and pick up food. I suddenly could not get the window up or down and the crank handle was now at a suspicious angle. That kind of failure is not unexpected with old cars. I was able to remove the window regulator assembly and repair the bushing on the back side of the crank housing with a small steel bushing cap I turned out on the lathe. I was not able to crank the window at all because the coiled spring hidden inside the crank (which helps holds the window in the desired position) had slipped and become wedged tightly between the housing and the crank. I got it all repaired, cleaned, greased and back together late last night. I'll bet the window mechanism hasn't work that well in many years. I'm back to daily driving it to work so we'll see how long until the next adventure begins. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Crisis are a band that maybe have skipped under your radar, I must admit, I knew next to nothing about them until I went to see Gun playing in Edinburgh and caught their opening set supporting them. Having seen them live, I’m convinced you should find out about them yourself.
A confident and commanding presence on stage in front of a Scottish audience who probably knew as much about them as I did, they won over the vast majority of people I spoke to in between the sets. Having spoken to the chaps themselves, they seem very down to Earth and grounded, and keen to get feedback.
They were also kind enough to hand me a copy of their EP to have a listen to. I would honestly have bought one but… well, the venue had Desperados tequila beer on tap which is a new experience for me and merch buying money seemed to vanish into one pint glass after another. I’ll buy a copy of the next release for sure to pay them back, honest guys!
And as for the EP, the self titled “Sweet Crisis EP” that you can get at their site or at the usual digital music outlets, it’s well worth checking out if you can’t get along to see them on tour.
Opener “Last Man On Earth” arrives with a groove and swagger that belies the band being just a three piece. The hook on the chorus especially gets in your mind and refuses to leave. I’ve found myself singing along to it out loud on more than one occasion, not great when you’re on a train really… but I digress.
The switch in the middle to an almost rapped verse amongst the melodic and sparky chorus is jarring, but in a good way, and sets the track apart from the pack of guitar bands out there. Sweet Crisis are a band that want to carve their own niche, and not just follow the herd and this is their statement.
It’s not my favourite track on the EP though, that would be the second cut, “Rapture“. Opening with a riff that rock bands the world over would kill for, and a killer rhythm section under it, as the lyrics say “it burns right into your soul” and grabs you, hard.
The vocals are the star on this one for me. If the first track drew comparisons to Kasabian and going further back, Kula Shaker, this is more laid back, yet in your face at the same time – if you remember The Blue Nile, I get the same sort of ‘late night bar’ vibe here. A mix of swirling, soaring vocals and punchy drums with that killer riff underpinning it all, this was the track live that reached off the stage and stole your attention and just wouldn’t let go.
“Maverick Man” closes the three track EP off, and while it never reaches the heights of “Rapture” for me, it’s a perfectly fine example of a band exploring their sound and finding a groove for themselves. Again, it’s perhaps one that works much better in a live setting for me.
Don’t discount it though – the beat that’s laid down is infectious, and the atmospheric keyboard sets it off nicely. Definitely the most laid back track of the three, a nice way to round off the EP and display a contrast in styles between the three tracks.
So, Sweet Crisis – take a note of the name. Next time they come my way, I suspect they’ll be headlining their own gigs rather than supporting. Hopefully a full length album will be forthcoming as well, I’m totally on board for that one. Support up and coming bands and local music and get yourself a copy of the EP, and get out to see them on a stage near you.

Books-on-tape was what we used to call them, way back when. Back then, of course, we didn’t even have CDs never mind streaming services. These days, people call them audiobooks (which, to be honest, is a far better name).
With an audiobook, you will listen to the book being read by a narrator. It’s a lot like having somebody read a book out loud to you (okay, it’s precisely that). You can connect with new concepts, get swept up in a story, or discover something new. Audiobooks are a great way to pass time and enrich your mind.
And they’re also an ideal tool for audio training.
What’s auditory training?
Hold on, what’s this auditory training thing, you may ask? It sounds complex and a lot like school.
Auditory training is a special type of listening, designed to help you increase your ability to process, comprehend, and decipher sounds (known medically as “auditory information”). We frequently talk about auditory training from the context of getting used to a pair of hearing aids.
That’s because when you have neglected hearing loss, your brain can slowly grow out of practice. (Your auditory centers become accustomed to living in a less noisy environment.) So your brain will have to deal with a big increase of new auditory information when you get new hearing aids. In practice, this often means that your brain can’t process those sounds as well as it normally does (at least, not at first). As a result, auditory training often becomes a worthwhile exercise. Also, for those who are coping with auditory processing disorders or have language learning challenges, auditory training can be a helpful tool.
Think of it like this: Audio books won’t really make you hear clearer, but they will help you better understand what you’re hearing.
What happens when I listen to audiobooks?
Helping your brain make sense of sound again is exactly what auditory training is designed to do. People have a pretty complex relationship with noise if you really think about it. Every single sound you hear has some meaning. Your brain needs to do a lot of work. The concept is that audiobooks are an excellent way to help your brain get accustomed to that process again, especially if you’re breaking in a brand-new set of hearing aids.
Audiobooks can help with your auditory training in a few different ways, including the following:
- Improvements in pronunciation: You’ll frequently need practice with more than just the hearing part. Hearing loss can often bring on social solitude which can cause communication skills to atrophy. Audiobooks can make communication a great deal easier by helping you get a handle on pronunciation.
- Listening comprehension: It’s one thing to hear speech, it’s another to understand it! When you follow the story that the narrator is reading, you will get practice differentiating speech. Your brain needs practice connecting words to concepts, and helping those concepts stay rooted in your mind. This can help you follow conversations more closely in your day-to-day life.
- A bigger vocabulary: Who doesn’t want to increase their vocabulary? The more words you’re subjected to, the bigger your vocabulary will become. Impress your friends by using amazingly apt words. Maybe those potatoes look dubious, or you’re worried that bringing your friends to the bar will really exacerbate your issues with your boyfriend. With audiobooks, you’ll have just the right words ready for any situation.
- Improvements of focus: With some help from your audiobook, you’ll remain focused and involved for longer periods of time. Perhaps it’s been a while since you’ve been able to participate in a full conversation, particularly if you’re getting used to a new set of hearing aids. An audiobook can give you some practice in remaining focused and tuned in.
- Perception of speech: Audiobooks will help you get used to hearing and understanding speech again. But you also have a little bit more control than you would during a normal conversation. You can rewind if you can’t understand something and listen to something over and over again. This works quite well for practicing making out words.
Audiobooks as auditory aids
Reading along with a physical version of your audiobook is absolutely advisable. This will help make those linguistic connections stronger in your brain, and your brain may adapt faster to the new auditory inputs. It’s definitely a good way to enhance your auditory training experience. Because hearing aids are enhanced by audiobooks.
It’s also very easy to get thousands of audiobooks. You can subscribe to them on an app called Audible. Many online vendors sell them, and that includes Amazon. Anyplace you find yourself, you can cue one up on your phone.
And there are also podcasts on pretty much every topic in case you can’t find an audiobook you feel like listening to. You can sharpen your hearing and enrich your mind at the same time!
Can I listen to audiobooks through my hearing aids
A wide variety of modern hearing aids are Bluetooth equipped. So all of your Bluetooth-equipped devices, including your phone, your television, and your speakers, can be paired with your hearing aids. With this, when you play an audiobook, you won’t need uncomfortable headphones over your hearing aids. Instead, you can listen directly through your hearing aids.
You’ll now get better sound quality and increased convenience.

So if you think your hearing may be on the way out, or you’re worried about getting used to your hearing aids, consult us about audiobooks.

Many people struggle with mental health issues. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was estimated that there were over 50 million Americans dealing with mental health issues.
Unfortunately, mental health does not get the attention it deserves, and many people continue to struggle. Over half of Americans who experience mental health issues do not receive the help they need.
There are many reasons why people don’t get the mental health treatment they need. These include insurance problems, the general lack of resources or services, and/or a shortage of care providers in the area.
I, however, also believe many people don’t seek help because of the negative connotations that come with going to counseling.
“Qualifying” for Counseling
Being a student in a clinical mental health counseling program, of course, I am biased in saying that mental health is important and matters, right? Well, I do believe that mental health is important, but before starting my counseling program, I had never gone to counseling myself. To really understand what a counselor should be and do, I decided to experience counseling myself. So less than two months ago, I went to my first counseling session.
I have always loved helping people, whether it was family, friends, or people I just met, which is why I am pursuing a counseling career. However, I never thought that I “deserved” or “qualified” for counseling services myself. I thought, like many other people I have spoken to, that counseling was only for people who have experienced serious trauma or abuse, or who have a diagnosed mental health condition. And, as someone who had only gone through typical stressors in life, I didn’t think my experiences were traumatic enough to require counseling, or to seek out help.
Growing up, I had a loving family, a few friends, and a decent middle-class life. I went to school, had a house to sleep in, and had people who cared about me. Of course, my family had typical arguments and disagreements, but I was never abused or beaten. From what I learned through society, my friends, and the people around me, trauma was having alcoholic parents, being beaten, being sexually abused, or physically bullied by peers. These are traumatic experiences that no one should ever go through, but they were things some of my closest friends dealt with.
Even though I was verbally and mentally bullied by classmates in school, I thought that was a minor problem compared to what a lot of my friends were going through. My experiences didn’t compare to what my friends were going through, but they still affected me. However, I believed I just had to deal with it and get over myself.
I never thought that this was my own trauma, or that trauma comes in different forms for different people.
I never thought I was “allowed” to go to counseling because I didn’t experience a truly traumatic event.
Although I believe that mental health is important and have always loved helping people going through difficult times, I never thought I could or needed to go to counseling myself.
I was wrong.
Experiencing Counseling as a Client
After starting my counseling program, I learned that there are all types of trauma that can affect people and their mental health. I also learned that the best way to help people would be to experience counseling myself, so I decided to go to counseling.
I was very nervous about my first session. Even after learning about counselors being open and kind to clients through my classes, it was scary walking in there the first time. I had an advantage compared to most people, as I had an idea of what the counselor would say, but I was still anxious and nervous. Automatically, thoughts flooded my mind;
“I shouldn’t be here.”
“The counselor is going to judge me for my silly stress.”
“What do I even say?”
These are common worries and thoughts that new patients battle when going to their first counseling session, and I KNEW what to expect as I am learning to be a counselor myself!
I took a deep breath and told myself to calm down, that everything was going to be fine. When the counselor called me from the waiting room, I got up and he greeted me with a smile and said to follow him.
My counselor was very kind, empathetic, and really listened to my worries and thoughts. He did not judge me for what I was bringing into the session, and seemed concerned about me while I was talking about my life. It was the BEST experience.
Counseling Is for Anyone and Everyone
Counseling is different for every person, it’s a place for people to say or do what they need to help them move on and get through a hard time in their life. It can also just be a place for clients to rant and let go of deep emotions they may not be able to talk to anyone else about.
From my experience, clients are in control throughout the session, while the counselor is there to guide them and be there for them on their path to healing.
For me, that counseling session was relieving. I was finally able to talk to someone about the family issues I had been going through. Although I did talk to my friends about my struggles, I felt like I was burdening them when they had their own problems to deal with, so I avoided talking about my problems at all.
Talking with a counselor was different. He asked me questions and just made me feel like he was really listening to what I was saying. He didn’t kick me out or tell me my trauma didn’t matter.
Even if you think you don’t need counseling, or haven’t been through trauma, you can find something in it. You can learn more about yourself, your values and beliefs, and what you need in your life. Counseling is whatever you make of it, but everyone’s experience is different.
Mental health is important, and people should be encouraged to take care of themselves. Everyone should try a counseling session just to see what happens. It can help people in ways that they didn’t even know they needed.
Continuing My Journey with Counseling as a Counselor to Be
I have continued to go to counseling and it has been a great experience so far. I have learned so much about myself, what I went through and how it affected me, and various other ways that have helped me live a better life. I am not done going to counseling and my hope is to continue to grow from my sessions and learn more about myself and who I am.
I hope with my own counseling experiences, I will be able to truly support those who come to me in times of difficulty and struggle, and help them live their happiest and best life.

The Government has unveiled its £6.5m marketing campaign to get the British public to think about their pension options inclu
At the launch, Social Security Secretary Alistair Darling emphasised the importance of seeking advice on pensions despite the Government's 1 per cent charge cap.
Heading the drive is a series of TV ads featuring talking sheep dogs with the voices of TV celebrities Jane Horrocks and Craig Doyle, who plays the part of Dave in the Royle Family.
The DSS says it had to produce a campaign that was very different from traditional public service information to get the public's interest after the word “pension” is mentioned, as pensions are seen as complex and boring.
The campaign runs until March and also features cin ema and press ads and will be supported by a series of DSS consumer booklets.
The guides include a general introduction to pension options and a separate stakeholder guide.
A guide for women is available to highlight the change in law between 2010 and 2020 when the age for women to claim the basic state pension is raised from 60 to 65.
Darling says: “The basic state pension will remain the foundation of income in retirement but now people want to retire on the highest possible income by saving through an occupational, personal or stakeholder pension.
“We have tightened up the regulatory regime and we want people to take advice.”
Maddisons Monetary Man agement managing director Mark Howard says: “The campaign is rather embarrassing as it is representing the industry with a couple of talking dogs. But the message is simple and it is designed to be understood by as many people as possible.”

As we roll steadily into 2018, many businesses are seeing their commercial auto insurance rates increase. In fact, many individuals are also seeing their personal auto rates also increase, which can create a financial concern for small business owners who have several commercial and personal vehicles to cover. The truth is, auto insurance rates for businesses and individuals have steadily risen since 2012, leaving many people to wonder why this is the case.
This rise in premium isn’t just because insurance companies are trying to pad their pockets. The rise of auto insurance rates has multiple influencing factors including more accidents from distracted drivers and an increase in severe accidents as well. This has resulted in a performance decline for auto insurance carriers. According to an article in Forbes, “In 2010, the average direct combined loss ratio was 99.7% amongst the nation’s ten largest insurance companies meaning they were just barely making a profit off auto insurance premiums. In 2016, the ratio ballooned to a whopping 107.1% average, meaning the major insurers were losing 7% more than earning.”
The cause of increased insurance rates falls into four main categories:
Accidents have been more severe – In the last few years the number of fatal accidents has skyrocketed. Fatal accidents cost insurance companies millions of dollars. The cost of medical services has also gone substantially up.
Cost to repair vehicles has gone up – With new technology in vehicles like back sensors, cameras, etc. the price to repair vehicles has risen dramatically costing insurance companies thousands of dollars in repairs.
There has been a decline in investment revenue – Insurance companies have investment portfolios mostly made up of conservative investments like bonds, in which they make money from. In the last few years, investment income from these conservative investments has been the lowest ever.
There have been numerous recent natural disasters – Hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods have been prevalent in the United States, especially in the past year. Insurance companies have paid billions of dollars to claimants all throughout the country. To pay for these large losses, rates have gone up and will continue to rise until the weather stops destroying vehicles.
Even though rates continue to rise, good insureds that are focused on solid driving and fleet safety practices will continue to qualify for the best rates. Fewer accidents will always result in better insurance rates. It is also wise to take a look around and see if you can find less expensive rates that still meet your coverage needs. There are often specific insurance carriers that are able to provide better rates for certain industries. It is worth your timer to take a look.

Inflation around the world reached multi-decade highs last year. While headline inflation is coming down steadily, core measures―which exclude food and energy―are proving stickier in many economies and wage growth has picked up.
Expectations about future inflation play a key role in driving inflation, as those views influence decisions about consumption and investment which can affect price and wages today. How best to inform people’s views on inflation became an even more crucial consideration as the surge in prices fueled concern that inflation could become entrenched.
In an analytical chapter of the latest World Economic Outlook, we examine how expectations affect inflation and the scope for monetary policy to influence these expectations to achieve a ‘soft landing,’ that is, a scenario where a central bank guides inflation back to its target without causing a deep downturn in growth and employment.
Larger role for inflation expectations
Surveys of professional forecasters have shown that expectations for inflation over the next 12 months—near-term expectations—started a steady rise in 2021 in advanced and emerging market economies alike, then accelerated last year as actual price increases gained momentum. Expectations for inflation five years into the future, however, remained stable, with average levels broadly anchored around central bank targets.
More recently, near-term inflation expectations appear to have turned the corner and begun to shift onto a gradual downward path. Beyond the world of professional forecasters, we see similar patterns of inflation expectations by companies, individuals, and financial-market investors, on average.
Movements in near-term expectations are economically important for inflation dynamics. According to our new statistical analysis, after the inflationary shocks in 2021 and early 2022 started unwinding late last year, inflation has been increasingly explained by near-term expectations.
For the average advanced economy, they now represent the primary driver of inflation dynamics. For the average emerging market economy, expectations have grown in importance, but past inflation remains more relevant, suggesting that people may be more backward-looking in these economies. This could reflect in part the historically higher and more volatile inflationary experience in many of these economies.
In fact, we find that inflation in advanced economies typically rises by about 0.8 percentage points for each 1 percentage point rise in near-term expectations while the pass-though is only 0.4 percentage points in emerging market economies.
One factor that could account for this difference is the share of backward-looking versus forward-looking learners across economy groups. When information on inflation prospects is scarce and central bank communications are unclear or lack credibility, people tend to form their views about future price changes based on their current or past inflation experiences—they are more backward-looking learners. By contrast, those who are more forward-looking form their expectations from a broader array of information that could be relevant to future economic conditions, including central bank actions and communications—they are more forward-looking learners.
Policy implications of differences in learning
These differences have important consequences for central banks. As shown in simulations from a new model that allows for differences in learning and expectations formation, policy tightening has less of a dampening effect on near-term inflation expectations and inflation when a greater share of people in the economy are backward-looking learners.
That’s because people more focused on the past do not internalize the fact that interest rate increases today will slow inflation as they weigh on demand in the economy. Therefore, a higher share of backward-looking learners means that the central bank must tighten more to get the same decrease in inflation. In other words, reductions in inflation expectations and inflation come at a higher cost to output when there is a higher share of backward-looking learners.
Enhancing policy effectiveness
Central banks can encourage expectations to be more forward-looking through improvements in the independence, transparency, and credibility of monetary policy and by communicating more clearly and effectively. Such changes help people understand the central bank’s policy actions and their economic effects, boosting the share of forward-looking learners in the economy.
Simulations from the new model show how improvements in monetary policy frameworks and communications can help lower the output costs needed to reduce inflation and inflation expectations, making it more likely the central bank can achieve a soft landing.
One way central banks can improve their communications is by simple and repeated messaging about their objectives and actions that is tailored to the relevant audiences.
However, improving monetary policy frameworks and crafting new tailored communication strategies to help improve inflation dynamics can take time or be difficult to implement. Such interventions are complementary to more traditional monetary policy tightening actions, which will remain key to bringing inflation back to target in a timely manner.

Liesel is a young girl who is the main character of the story “ The Book Thief” The end of the “Book Thief” consisted of the death of her loved ones and its afterlash. As Nazis in Germany became stronger they started to take Jews to concentration camps where they often crossed Himmel street. Here Hans gave some bread to an old man where he and the old man got whipped by a Nazi soldier. Hans already notorious for feeling pity for the jews, realized that he had stirred attention and decided that it was no longer safe for Max, a jew they were harboring, to stay in their house. Unfortunately, only a little while after Max had to leave did Himmel street get bombed and everyone that she loved and cared about was killed.
Prior, She often visited Frau Hermann , the mayor’s wife, to read books in her library when she went to collect the laundry from her house but one day Frau Hermann tells her she can no longer send the laundry because they can’t afford it. Liesel upset and confused decides that she would start stealing books from her too and crept in through an open window. She would consistently do this until she realized that the window was open on purpose. She found a blank book on the table with a note saying that Frau Hermann knew of her stealing the books and wanted her to write her own. She eventually went down to the basement and started writing a book she would call “The Book Thief”.
This was when the bombing happened and she survived because she was in the basement, however her papa, mama, and Rudy died. She gave Rudy the kiss he had always wanted and went to live with the mayor and his wife. Many years later after the holocaust she and Max meet once again. The end brings together all the somewhat random events that happen throughout the book such as the importance of Frau Hermann which was not evident until much later in the book. In the end small events cause major effects. This effects then ending in a big way because if she had, per say, never met Frau Hermann, she would have probably died as well in the bomb blast and if Hands had never tried to feed the old man, Max would have never left which could have ended in him getting caught.The small and seemingly insignificant events affected the ending in a large way.
There were quite a few connections that I could make between the text from before and after. In the very beginning of the book, the narrator was hinted to be as “Death” and said that he would see Liesel 3 times later. However since this was from the beginning of the book I had forgotten for a long while and only when I revisited the start of the book did I notice a big piece of foreshadowing in the book for the events to come. Another time I can make a connection was when Hans Huberman asked if he could always trust Liesel with a secret. We later find out that he meant to harbor a jew which is why he asked is he could trust her. At this point in the book, their relationship was extremely strong, yet still he asked if he could trust her meaning that whatever was going to happen was going to be very serious. We later found out that he was talking about harboring a jew. And finally, another connection I made between Max and Liesel is how suffering brought them together. They both lost their families at a very young age and they can relate their suffering with each other in a short time.
“It makes me understand that the best standover man I’ve ever known is not a man at all” p.235 I like this quote a lot for many reasons. Not only does it cover Max’s life but also his relationship with Liesel. Throughout his entire life he had always been scared of people dominating him. He felt that he had something to prove to all the other people who thought that he was just weak. Due to this he would always have people “standing over him” meaning, there would always be someone who is better than him in some sort of way. He mentioned some example as his parents and they boys he would get into a fight with. However after meeting Liesel he realizes that having a standover man is not a bad thing. He realizes that you can learn from them and they can learn from you creating the unique bond between Liesel and him. Through similar tragedies that happen to them, they lift some pain off of eachother.
“The young man rushed to the woman and embraced her. “Words!” he grinned”
I feel that this is another interesting quote because the young man referred in this quote is Hitler and he and Liesel both love words so much but they are completely different people. Hitler wanted to control all of Germany with the power of words while Liesel just wanted to view the world a little differently. This shows that when there is something with great power, how you use it will deeply affect you and others. In Hitler’s case, all of Germany, I believe that this quote really shows how bad Hitler was. Liesel used words to solely get rid of the pain of her life but Hitler on the other end used it to cause cause suffering all around Germany.
“A DEFINITION NOT FOUND IN THE DICTIONARY Not leaving: an act of trust and love, often deciphered by children”
This quote is a quote found well in the beginning of the book that gives the reader a little bit about how Liesel feels. This was our first view into Liesel as a character. Even if we can’t relate we know she must feel confused, angry, upset, and tensioned among a jumble of feelings. Comparing this form then and now we can see that “it was a blessing in disguise” for a while because of the many people she was able to meet and make a relationship with. This does in the end take a turn for the worst as all her family and loved ones except Max are killed but she was able to make precious memories that she would carry on for the rest of her life.
One big literary device in the text would be Foreshadowing. It was present throughout the entire book where something seemed insignificant but turned out to be very important later on such as the blank notebook. There were many foreshadowing pieces that the author hinted at in a very light manner which was not noticeable in the end. I was very surprised at max having to leave in the beginning but I realize the impact now, assuming that he would survive the bomb blast we would have immediately been caught and moved to a concentration camp. I was wondering how giving bread to an old man could have such a big reaction to how writing a book could save your life. Those small bits shocked me because it had such a lasting impact.
My personal experience with the text went well as it is a riveting book and the narrator being Death was a really interesting concept. There were some parts in the story that I found very boring so I started skimming and scanning but it later came back to haunt me as I didn’t have an idea as to what was happening. Even though it was a rather sad book, I loved the book because it sparked emotions that make you feel what the main character is feeling throughout the book.

Travel savings strategies shouldn't stop once you've secured a decent airfare and hotel rate. What you do at your destination—from dining out to visiting local attractions—can often be cheaper with a little planning.
Take some of your regular smart-shopping strategies on the road, said Trae Bodge, senior lifestyle editor for RetailMeNot.com. For example, if your family favors chain restaurants or has travel plans including a movie or spa day, picking up discounted gift cards is a smart strategy, she said. GiftCardGranny.com aggregates offers from different providers, with discounts ranging as high as 30 percent, depending on the brand.
Comparison shop online to see if you can find promotions for the attractions you want to visit, said Gabe Saglie, senior editor for deal site Travelzoo. Amusement parks in particular tend to offer online-only deals to shoppers who buy before they arrive. For example, at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, single tickets are as much as $20 cheaper online, while Web sales at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, knock $12 off the gate price.
Other tourist spots, tours and restaurants may have discount vouchers available through local deal sites like Groupon, Amazon Local, Travelzoo and Gilt City. LivingSocial, for example, has 38 percent off deals for a bus tour/paid-museum pass combo in Washington, D.C.
Another easy way to cut costs? "Make sure you're aware of all the perks your credit cards are giving you, " said Bodge. That might be a waived airline bag fee, a free room upgrade, or the opportunity to redeem points for travel expenses. A 2014 CardHub.com study found that all of the major issuers offer some rental car insurance coverage, a benefit that could help consumers eliminate or reduce that expense.
Put your AAA or AARP cards, if you have them, in your wallet, too, said Bodge. Both include discounts on local entertainment and restaurants. (And of course, travel, if you haven't already booked.)
You might even want to rethink that hotel rate if it's refundable. "The hotel package is getting a bit of a makeover," said Saglie. Paying a slightly higher package rate could yield savings when its components include better rates on amenities you'd pay for anyway (like breakfast or valet parking), or experiences already on your itinerary (like a baseball game or museum visit). But check the pricing—you're not always getting a break compared with paying a la carte.
At the very least, sign up for the free hotel rewards program. Even brand-new members get free Wi-Fi at chains including Marriott and Intercontinental Hotels Group, while MGM Resorts' M Life program includes discounts to the Las Vegas properties' shows and stores.

Richards: Ohuruogu 'fortunate' to be competing in Beijing
Christine Ohuruogu, Britain's world 400 metres champion, is lucky to be competing at the Olympic Games, according to her great rival, American Sanya Richards.
Ohuruogu served a one-year suspension which ended last August after she had been missing three times when drug testers called at a time and place she had said she would be.
Three weeks later she won the world title in Richards' absence and the British Olympic Association has since lifted her ban after an appeal.
Richards believes in life bans for drug offenders and advocates an extension of the British Olympic Association's life-time ban on all cheats from representing their country.
Outspoken: Richards feels Ohuruogu is fortunate to be competing in Beijing
'I do think that Christine Ohuruogu is fortunate,' said Richards, world number one for the last two years.
'Her case was a little different because it wasn't a positive test, and now I think she is doing a great job, training hard and excited to be competing but, yes, I think she is fortunate.
'There is a case for life bans and most athletes think that. We have to do whatever we can to deter athletes from cheating. I definitely admire what Great Britain does, that once you test positive you cannot represent the country again,' she said.
'That will definitely change athletes' minds because most athletes want to represent their country more than anything. Other countries should look into it and follow.
'I don't want to hear about drugs here. I don't want to hear about cheaters. I just want to hear about great match-ups. There are too many great athletes competing here to talk about people who have cheated in the past. I want to talk about the glory of my sport and the great things that are going to happen.'
It was her last word on the subject, but there was no getting away from the edge her words have lent to their likely meeting on Tuesday in the final of the 400 metres.
Competition begins on Saturday with a preliminary round in which Ohuruogu and world silver medallist Nicola Sanders are likely to be seeded into different races to Richards.

'This is not personal for me. I am not gunning for Christine Ohuruogu or Nicole Sanders. I want to win this for myself and my family,' she said.
Richards missed the world championships because she did not qualify for the United States at its trials where she was suffering from what she described as 'flu-like symptoms'.
She was subsequently found after several misdiagnoses to have Behcet's Syndrome, an incurable disease of the vascular system.
She is likely to be on medication to control it for life and has constant bubble baths to relieve stress which is one trigger for attacks. 'I still struggle with it now but my last bad attack was on New Year's Day,' she said.
It reveals itself in bad mouth ulcers and skin lesions. 'I got them to the point where I couldn't eat and I couldn't talk and had to write messages on pieces of paper. The skin lesions were very painful. Sometimes I couldn't even squat because they were so bad on my legs,' she said.
So she watched in Japan as Ohuruogu took the title she thought would be hers. After all, she was unbeaten in 2006 which led to her being named the IAAF's world athlete of the year, a title that added $100,000 to the $250,000 she won as a share of the Golden League bonus.
Richards recovered sufficiently to finish 2007 far more successfully than Ohuruogu - despite the latter's remarkable comeback from her one-year drug ban at the world championships - breaking 50 seconds for 400m eight times and beating Ohuruogu in each of their meetings.
'I definitely think it's a bit like redemption for me. Last year I didn't make the team at 400 for reasons out of my control. I've got over the disappointment but I want to be in the hunt this year.'
She sees Ohuruogu and Sanders as the primary opposition, diplomatically adding the Jamaicans and the other two Americans, and said: 'Christine and Nicola will be extremely positive. I know they want it really badly because they're among the best hopes Britian has and that will motivate them to come really tough at it.'
She has approached the race very differently from the Britons. She has been racing regularly since April and has beaten the fastest times of the two Britons eight times.
Ohuruogu has concentrated more on 200m races and Sanders, suffering from injuries, has hardly raced at all, missing even the Olympic trials.

Manage episode 269686897 series 2502931
When the musical “Hamilton” first came out, all four of us were in our early 20s, trying to find our own place in a new country. We found hope and inspiration in the story of Alexander Hamilton as told by the musical—the story of a young, ambitious immigrant who became a hero of the American revolution.
This past July 4th weekend, a original Broadway production of “Hamilton'' streamed on Disney+ for the first time ever. Also on the same weekend, President Trump gave a speech in front of Mt. Rushmore, claiming "a left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution."
What is it like to watch “Hamilton” in 2020, when a celebration of “American progress” seems unfit for the time we are living in?
For this episode, we invited our friend Yangyang Cheng, particle physicist and writer, to talk about the musical and what changed between then and now.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Why do we think “Hamilton” is a product of the Obama era and “an embodiment of its triumph and aspiration, as well as its limits and deception”
- How have our own beliefs in meritocracy and the American dream changed in Trump’s America?
- The limit of representation and diversity--why we must move beyond celebrating diversity
- Rethinking American history: the 1619 project vs. Hamilton
- Why do we say that “Hamilton” is a cultural product of the pre-MeToo era?
About our guest:
Yangyang Cheng is a particle physicist and a postdoctoral research associate at Cornell University. She also writes the “Science and China” column at SupChina.
She has previously been on Loud Murmurs to talk about HBO’s drama “Chernobyl.” Listen to that episode here.
