How does a medium-sized company operate in a niche industry? What are all the places where test benches for air filters are used? What does aerosol generation look like in practice and what requirements do customers place on it? These and many other questions were answered by students of environmental bioprocess engineering at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. At the end of the semester, they visited companies in Dresden to experience the practical application of the knowledge from the lecture hall. You can read about where they were able to get a taste of things during their visit and what else they learned in the Topas Campus for students.


Dinging a deer: Motorists are advised to watch for deer crossing, especially during dawn and dusk
The deer hunting season might be over, but the time to meet deer on the road is always there.
There are peak times to see deer crossing the roads, such as the spring months, when deer are on the move after winter and the fall months, when deer are in the rutting season, and then the daily times are dawn and dusk.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department warns people of deer crossing the highways during the early morning and late evenings. Brett Wiedmann, the NDGF big game biologist in Dickinson, described what he's seen on the roadway with motorists.
"Something I've witnessed on several occasions is that when people approach deer that are in the ditch, they sometimes assume those deer aren't going to move so they just maintain their high rate of speed," he said. "As that vehicle approaches, deer are sometimes spooked and then they try to cross the highway as you approach them. Whenever I see deer in the ditch, especially in the evenings, I slow down."
The early part of this winter season has been different than in years past because of the lack of snow.
Can the snow play a factor in the amount of deer seen on the roads?
"I think last year there's probably as many (crashes) as there was this year," said Jerry Gayda, the owner of Legend's Auto Body in Dickinson. "Last year, they (deer) might have been on the road more, because there was more snow."
Gayda said his shop had more than 50 cars come in as a result of deer crashes in the last three months. The other three businesses contacted had one or two accidents come in during the past couple months.
The one thing that's lacking this winter is snow. With no snow, the deer population is moving from one place to another easier than in the past.
"With no snow on the ground, it's pretty much free range and they can show up anywhere they want," said Lt. Jody Skogen of the North Dakota Highway Patrol. "But it also allows them to not use our transportation system in order to move to get to their feeding locations. When the snow is deep, they tend to find the easiest way to get from point A to point B to where they don't have to burn a ton of calories to get there. A lot of times our roadways are utilized just as a natural way of deer getting around."
However, deer spending less time traveling from place to place can make it easier for them to jump out into the road. Dickinson Highway Patrol Sgt. Dan Haugen said he gets a call about hitting a deer every day or two.
"I think it's harder to see the deer because it is mild out," Haugen said. "There's no snow to make the deer stand out. I think it's harder to see a deer now and avoid it than it is in a typical winter."
What happens if a motorist strikes a deer on a highway or interstate?
Wiedmann said the best option is to drag the deer to the side of the road so oncoming motorist don't hit the deer as well.
"If you do strike a deer, you can contact a game warden or highway patrol to get a permit to keep that animal," he said. "Say you hit a buck, you can't cut off the head. That's technically illegal and you have to call law enforcement to keep that animal."

The TUCSON N Line offers sporty and distinctive exterior design features and differentiating interior details so customers can enjoy a driving experience with even more attitude. The N Line range starts with the standard N Line 1.6 T-GDi 150ps six-speed manual-equipped model and – until Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid models receive the N Line treatment – ends with the N Line S 1.6 T-GDi 180ps 4WD Mild Hybrid, with seven-speed dual-clutch transmission at £37,065.
For this latest sporty take on the All New TUCSON, the parametric jewel patterns on the grille pieces have been elaborated with edges, creating additional reflections depending on the angle. The grille also incorporates the N Line badge. Under the grille sits a rectangular shaped bumper and a refined air intake, which is taller and bigger than on the standard TUCSON for a sportier look, while striking black bezels frame the head lamps. At the rear TUCSON N Line is outfitted with a longer aerodynamic spoiler, complete with stabilising fins, a diffusor and aggressive twin-tip muffler exhausts. Standard 19-inch alloy wheels, featuring a geometric pattern mirroring TUCSON’s grille, complete the look.
Customers can choose from seven exterior colours, with an optional two-tone roof in Phantom Black available on five of the colour trims.
- Shadow Grey [exclusively for N Line] w/ optional Phantom Black roof (£665 + optional £500)
- Polar White w/ optional Phantom Black roof (£300 + optional £500)
- Engine Red w/ optional Phantom Black roof (£0 + optional £500)
- Sunset Red w/ optional Phantom Black roof ((£665 + optional £500)
- Dark Knight Grey w/ optional Phantom Black roof (£665 + optional £500)
- Shimmering Silver (£665)

In the cabin, TUCSON N Line features N-branded sporty seats with black suede and leather seat coverings, as well as red stitching. Red stitching is also woven on the door trim and armrest, while the grey cloth crash pad is garnished with red accents. A dedicated N steering wheel arrives complete with an N logo. Other N design elements are to be found on the leather gear shift knob or shift by wire console cover, depending on the chosen transmission. Meanwhile, a black headliner gives the interior an extra sporty touch. Further N Line enhancements include metal pedals, a foot rest and door steps.

Virginia Land Snails
Photo(s): The shell of Paravitrea seradens by Dan Dourson ©.
Click photo(s) to enlarge.
Paravitrea seradens Hubricht, 1972
Common name: Barred Supercoil
Width: 5-6 mm
Height: 2.5-3 mm
The glossy, amber-colored shell of Paravitrea seradens may appear somewhat angular when juvenile, due to a flattened base and a square-shaped periphery. The periphery becomes more rounded with age. The final whorl expands abruptly and slopes downward as it approaches the aperture. A deep umbilicus provides a view of all the whorls. The outer and basal walls of the outer whorls have one or more pairs of large teeth, which are present at all stages of growth.
This animal may be found in moist leaf litter on wooded slopes (Hubricht, 1985).
There are no synonyms.
Paravitrea seradensis reported from a handful of counties across the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia, Kentucky, and West Virginia. In Virginia it is found only in two far western counties on the West Virginia border – Bland and Giles (Hubricht, 1985).

Father Who Gave Cannabis to Sick Children Avoids Jail
64 year old Stephen Taylor has made headlines as the father who grew and juiced cannabis to ease the suffering of his two daughters, both of whom have Crohn’s disease.
Throughout the years, the Australian man struggled to find a doctor who would help him through the process of legalizing access to medical cannabis. He could not understand why the government was making the process so difficult. “I think it’s just wrong the way the government has set this up, that we cannot access this amazing plant. So many parents are screaming out for it. Unfortunately, there are so many parents getting arrested for it” said Mr. Taylor
Mr. Taylor’s daughters, Ariel (25) and Morgan (21), both suffer from Crohn’s disease – an inflammatory bowel disease that has caused them to become frequently hospitalized. “I kind of say that I’m not living anymore, I’m just surviving and that’s what’s really hard” said Morgan. Sadly, the side effects of traditional drugs are severe.
“I got really bad arthritis… my knees were swollen and I couldn’t walk some days” she said. “I had a severe reaction to another drug called Infliximab, my throat started closing up, I was having anaphylaxis reaction, my face was swelling up, I was getting a rash. That was very serious” she added. Her sister, Ariel, nearly died from hemorrhaging. “I was so sick I wasn’t able to eat… I was in constant pain. It was pretty intense” she recalled.

FBI Headquarters Repo/Hack: The Josef K. Ministry of Dataism and Cyber Intelligence
Citation: Special Consideration
Project name: FBI Headquarters Repo/Hack: The Josef K. Ministry of Dataism and Cyber Intelligence
Project location: Washington, DC
Firm name: HKS
Jury comments: This dystopic project reimagines the two million sf J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building in Washington, DC, as a center for the collection of data. Named after Josef K, the protagonist in Franz Kafka’s novel The Trial, this project takes inspiration from film noir, German Expressionism, and Russian Constructivist propaganda. It is a repository for data and symbolizes the loss of personal freedom through the gathering of data.
The jury felt that this project was both provocative and dystopic, using architecture to create a political statement about the gathering of data and the subsequent diminishing of personal liberties. We did not think of this as a real project but as an architectural stage set for political opinion. This project reminded us of politically inspired projects from the 1960s and 1970s by architecture groups such as Archigram and Ant Farm. Although it is an ironic repurposing of the FBI Building, storage and manipulation of “Big Data” and the diminishment of personal freedom are likely already taking place in the data centers of governments and corporations around the world.

This event is for the entire family and will feature not only the live performances mentioned, but also dancers who will teach the audience a short Irish dance. Tickets must be purchased in advance HERE. Be sure to catch this fun and entertaining event one of the next two weekends!


Bill James, father of sabermetrics, consultant for the Boston Red Sox, and guy who routinely shares the sort of opinions that get him publicly clowned by his daughter, unleashed a doozie last night.
While engaging in a discussion on Twitter about whether MLB players are overpaid, James wrote in a since-deleted tweet,
“If the players all retired tomorrow, we would replace them, the game would go on; in three years it would make no difference whatsoever. The players are NOT the game, any more than the beer vendors are.”
Not only is James’s take extremely stupid and wrong, it’s the kind of thing that’s pretty alarming to hear from a guy who holds a prestigious position in an MLB front office. It wasn’t all that surprising to see MLBPA president Tony Clark come out firing:
That put the Boston Red Sox in a tough position, and they decided to try and downplay the situation by assuring everyone that, actually, they don’t even know Bill James that well!
If nothing else, this is good practice for the Red Sox, who will likely have to go through this again when James inevitably tweets something about the scientific merits of phrenology.

COVID-19 on Delmarva: Sussex reports 13 deaths in a week; hospitalizations trending down
SALISBURY, Md. — The battle to curb the COVID-19 pandemic wages on.
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia have administered a combined 1.4 million Pfizer and Moderna vaccine doses.
Delmarva is well into Phase 1b of vaccinations and even Phase 1c for Maryland, yet demand for the coveted shots continues to outpace supplies.
Hospitalization numbers in all three states have been declining, but the death tolls on Maryland's Lower Eastern Shore and in Sussex County have still been on the rise in the past week.
Here's an overview of COVID-19 data from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia as of Monday, Feb. 1:
Maryland's seven-day positivity rate has fallen even further, dropping from 6.84% a week ago to 5.61% as of Monday morning.
The state case count is up to 355,636, with 12,498 infections added in the past seven days. A third confirmed COVID-19 death of a child younger than 10 years old was also added Monday.
Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties all still have positivity rates above that of the statewide average, but the metrics are now at less than 7.5%.
Wicomico's positivity rate is the highest of the three at 7.1%, while Worcester's stands at 6.91% and Somerset's at 6.77%. They're among 18 out of 24 Maryland jurisdictions with rates above the state's.
More:Maryland may expand COVID-19 legal immunity for health workers. Here's what it means
The highest seven-day positivity rate on the Eastern Shore based on Monday morning's data is 11.5% for Caroline County.
In the last week, the three Lower Eastern Shore jurisdictions have gained a combined 434 cases. Here's the total number of cases in each of these counties with deaths in parentheses:
- Wicomico County - 6,352 (128)
- Worcester County - 3,082 (77)
- Somerset County - 2,253 (26)
There have been seven more virus-related deaths confirmed for Wicomico and four for Worcester, but the death toll in Somerset is unchanged compared to last Monday.
Hospitalizations statewide are down to less than 1,500.
At 1,437 hospital beds filled by COVID-19 patients, this is the lowest the metric has been since late November.
The number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care is at 371, which is 24 fewer compared to a week ago.

There are 88,459 Marylanders who have received both doses of a vaccine.
Maryland has distributed a combined 852,625 doses — 584,575 first doses and 268,050 second doses. As of Monday morning, providers have reported administering 544,369 of those doses, or roughly 64%.
On the Lower Shore, close to 4,000 people have been fully vaccinated.
Wicomico County providers have reported administering 2,019 first doses in the last week, Worcester County providers have reported administering 1,357 and Somerset County providers have reported administering 460.
Current COVID-19 hospitalizations have continued to fall in Virginia.
That metric is down from 2,892 a week ago to 2,446 as of Monday morning.
On the Eastern Shore, there have been 14 new hospitalizations reported over the past week — 11 from Accomack County and three from Northampton County. There have been no new deaths or outbreaks added for the region during this time.
The Shore's case total increased by 127 infections over this seven-day period. Accomack gained 93 cases, bringing its total to 2,365 infections, and Northampton gained 34, bringing its total to 637.
Those new cases are among 29,021 cases reported statewide in the last seven days. Virginia has topped half a million COVID-19 cases, reaching 507,640 by Monday's data release.
The state has received more than 1.2 million vaccine doses, and 805,695, or roughly 66%, have been administered so far.

There are 688,561 Virginians who have received at least a first dose and 117,134 who are fully vaccinated. State data shows just over 8% of the state's total population has been able to access their first shot.
An additional 1,667 doses have been used in Accomack County and 765 in Northampton County since last Monday.
A little over 5,500 doses have been given out in the Eastern Shore Health District, and 428 people have received both doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
Delaware's overall tally of COVID-19 cases stands at 78,495.
The seven-day average of new cases is down from more than 600 to 480.7.
There have been 3,304 new cases reported statewide in the past seven days, including 921 cases from Sussex County.
The lower Delaware county has seen 20,824 residents test positive for the novel virus throughout the pandemic. The county's seven-day average for new cases has dropped to less than 140.

Current hospitalizations in Delaware picked up a bit over the weekend, increasing from 303 Saturday to 321 as of Monday.
That metric has generally been decreasing though. There are 64 fewer COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Delaware compared to last Monday.
Sussex County's hospitalizations have also been on a decline, falling from 95 to 69 in a week. The number of county hospital beds filled by COVID-19 patients has not been this low since the first half of December.
However, the COVID-19 death toll for the county is up to 349, representing an increase of 13 virus-related fatalities over the past week.
More:You have questions about the COVID vaccine. We have answers.
There have been 120,850 vaccine doses delivered to Delaware to date.
Providers across the state have administered 103,791 of those doses, or nearly 86%, to individuals eligible under phases 1a and 1b.
The largest portion of those doses, roughly 45%, have gone to people who are at least 65 years old.

Bishop Comments on Letter to NC Board of Elections from House Administration Committee
Congressman Dan Bishop (NC-09) released the following statement on a letter from Ranking Member Rodney Davis of the Committee on House Administration to the members of the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) and elections directors in all 100 North Carolina counties.
"The blatant attempt of Governor Cooper's election board, Attorney General Stein, and national Democrat operatives to manipulate the integrity of an ongoing election has gotten the attention of the House of Representatives who are, rightfully, disturbed and threatening to investigate if their changes are implemented," said Rep. Bishop. "These changes would roll back the protections put in place after election fraud left our district--North Carolina's Ninth Congressional District--without a representative for nine months. More concerning, NCSBE tried to implement massive changes after over 320,000 North Carolinians already voted, meaning different rules based on when you vote. The changes were put on hold by a legitimate judge, but NCSBE have proved they must be held accountable for their partisan attacks on our election integrity," concluded Bishop.
The letter, authored by Ranking Member Davis and sent to the NCSBE and North Carolina's 100 county board of elections directors, detailed the questionable motivations of the changes and the logistical challenges of altering the elections process of an election already underway. The Ranking Member asserted that the Committee on House Administration would not hesitate to exercise its authority to conduct an investigation on behalf of the House of Representatives.


At the beginning of October, Clean Energy Lab presented the first online calculator for the prime cost of energy.
This tool compares the LCOE from different sources in Ukraine and the cost of the technologies itself with the current electricity rates. The online calculator has been developed by the NGO Clean Energy Lab with the support of Heinrich Boell Foundation Kyiv Office — Ukraine.
The tool is publicly available in the beta testing mode.
The prime cost of energy is calculated based on the LCOE indicator (levelised cost of energy). It includes all expenses incurred by the production of electricity during the lifetime of the station with reference to the current prices and the fluctuations in the value of money over time.
The calculator is based on the simplified approach taking into account the basic parameters. That is why the LCOE results are meant to be used only for reference and to enable comparison among various technologies and locations.
"In the 2019 report, Bloomberg says that these sources (solar and wind energy — ed.note) are the cheapest for ⅔ of the world. Then why do people in Ukraine keep claiming that renewable energy is expensive? Why is the whole discourse build around the idea that RES mean ‘a green tariff,’ leading to corruption, which in its turn makes it expensive? The LCOE calculator debunks some of the myths existing in the discourse of renewable energy sources," said Clean Energy Lab cofounder Oleksii Mykhailenko in his presentation.
The presentation materials are available online (in Ukrainian).

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, nearly 3 months away from the Presidential elections is trying to clench his presidency seat for the second time. The elections are scheduled to be held on April 22 and May 6 in 2 rounds.
Nicolas Sarkozy accepts Mea Culpa
In his interview the French leader not only accepted that he has committed political and personal mistakes but also asserted that he would quit politics if beaten by his Socialist Nemesis Francois Hollande. French and world media saw another side of Nicolas Sarkozy when he humbly acknowledged all the errors he committed when he was at the helm of the country.
Sarkozy popularity was dwindling at a rapid rate because of his eerie decisions and his apologies are associated with media tactics. Nicolas Sarkozy considered to be a political maverick, told the innumerable media journalists whom he had invited for a briefing that he is not the man they think he is. He also accepted that he wants to make some amendments and if people will allow him an opportunity to seek redemption he will not disappoint them. He also offered regrets for his policies which didn't work out and promised not to shirk from his responsibilities.
Better than U.K
Sarkozy also announced that there would be an increment in VAT by 1.6%. When some one made a point that in Britain there was an increase in prices soon after the VAT rose then he exclaimed that the U.K has no industry anymore. Defending his endeavors which he had made earlier to save French economy he said that the financial crisis is eventually calming down and Europe is no longer on the brink of the abyss. The elements are in place which would lead to stabilization of financial situation in the Europe and the world.
A social VAT
According to Nicolas Sarkozy the measures such as reduced working time, salaries and raising VAT will go a long way to salvage French economy. The President has named VAT 'a social VAT' as the value added tax rise will be coincided with the decrease in the employer's contribution to the payroll, enhancing competitiveness and spurring French exports. According to the latest competitiveness grants employers would be able to increase or decrease working hours to salvage jobs if the big chunk of employees agree.
Socialist Francois Hollande called all this a desperate attempt by Sarkozy to save his office. Since France has lost its triple-A rating, the president has been on back foot. Unemployment is at its 12 year high and public debt at a record level. A public apology will not bring back France on tracks. It would take effective leadership and foresightedness. Does Sarkozy possess that ?

thanks, I don't know iems e.e glad you had some insight! xD
I will say cheapo SkullCandy IEMS sound half decent ~... but again I'm not an iem guy xD
S4 served me my first bassy experience. Turn the Sony clear bass up all the way, put a fiio onto that sony dap, and plug the S4 into your ears and put on some sub bass heavy dubstep. Can't say I've found that experience ever again after that. Overall, I found the s4 to be decent iems.
How do you have them hooked up/set up? I tried every config possible before I got it right.
Put ZO into high gain mode and put it into RED contour (max bass)
Put E-11 on NO bass EQ and have your iPod/iPhone/iPad feed into E-11 first via LOD (absolutely crucial it is not fed via headphone out).
You then go into ZO and out of ZO to headphones. I use an EQ app like Equalizer or EQ10 to fine tune. iPod EQ is awful.
E-11 is your volume control now in this setup.
You can always turn down the ZO (like a bass head ever would) if the bass craps out due to headphones unable to keep up but start with it on deep red contour.
This setup is nirvana to sound quality not to mention a bass heads dream.
Very cool. Glad you like it as much as I do.
JVC HA-FX3X is pretty bassy

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, visiting India last month, predictably raised the issue of India’s purchase of the Russian S-400 system with his interlocuters.
Nevertheless, even though Turkey has been a NATO member since 1952 and has contributed to the NATO alliance in many respects, such as storing American nuclear weapons in its İncirlik Base for many years, as well as hosting NATO’s Missile Defense Radar at a military base in Kürecik, it is obvious that Ankara will be facing numerous challenges in the next few years as a result of the decision to procure S-400s.

While he is revising his political strategy to re-energize the AK Party and his constituency to maintain his strength, he is also trying to find the best approach to overcome the upcoming foreign policy crisis stemming mainly from Turkey's decision to purchase S-400s.
This time it is about Turkey’s purchase of S-400 air defense systems from Russia.

KENT, Wash. — A procession of about 700 law enforcement and emergency vehicles with lights flashing escorted the hearse carrying the body of slain Washington State Patrol Trooper Tony Radulescu (rad-ihl-EHS'-kyoo) to a memorial service Thursday in Kent.Comment on this story
Other drivers pulled over and people watched respectfully from overpasses and roadsides as the procession made its way from Silverdale, through Port Orchard, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord. It joined a family procession from a Lakewood funeral home on the way to the 1 p.m. service at the ShoWare Center.
The procession passed under an American flag hanging from an arch made by fire truck ladders.
Radulescu, a 16-year veteran, was shot Feb. 23 near Gorst by a driver who later took his own life. Six people have been charged with rendering criminal assistance.

Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh enjoyed a date night during the second night of Taylor Swift’s New Jersey leg of Eras Tour.
The couple, who married in 2019 after six years of dating, were also joined by football player Aaron Rodgers, who shared glimpses from the show held over the weekend at the MetLife Stadium.
“Taylor Time,” the NFL star captioned the clip, which ended with a shot of an amused Teller, 36, getting ready for the concert to begin.
In video obtained by TMZ, Rodgers can be seen rocking out to Swift's 1989 hit Style, raising his arms up in the air as the singer belts out the tune.
The Top Gun: Maverick actor, 36, and his wife Keleigh Sperry, 30, are long-time Swifties. Moreover, the couple was “over the moon” to star in the music video for the Grammy-winning artist’s music video for I Bet You Think About Me in 2021.
“Forevermore a crumpled up piece of paper lyin’ here,” she wrote in one of the BTS from the video.
“in @taylorswift we STAN,” Keleigh captioned set of photos of herself with the musician on set. “I will be your invisible bride any day.”
As for Taylor, she also praised their performance in her cheeky video, which was directed by Blake Lively and about taunting an ex at his wedding.
“So grateful to Miles for being the greatest dance partner and friend to me,” the 33-year-old wrote at the time. “And @keleighteller, who is the coolest living human on planet earth. The bride was willing to risk it all.”
As for Rodgers, he spoke about his love for the singer last week, during an interview with Adam Schein on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio. He shared that he was going to attend the Eras Tour concert “for sure” since he is a “big fan.”

CYNODON SPP. MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS FOR THE UPPER TRANSITION ZONE IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES
The transition zone is an area in the southeastern United States centered on approximately 37° N latitude where bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) reaches its northern limit of adaptation. The duration of bermudagrass dormancy combined with the possibility of turf loss from cold temperatures makes managing bermudagrass in the transition zone challenging. This paper describes various turf management methods used by athletic field managers to provide safe and playable athletic fields in the upper transition zone of the United States. Bermudagrass mowing height should be maintained at 20 - 25 mm for hybrid bermudagrass and raised about 12.5 mm higher than normal as winter approaches to enhance winter survival. Nitrogen should be applied at 50 kg ha-1 approximately every four to six weeks during the growing season; however, fertilization with nitrogen should not exceed 50 kg ha-1 within 6 weeks of the onset of fall dormancy to avoid winter injury due to cold temperatures. In order to help avoid compaction injury on athletic fields, irrigation should be withheld for 2 d prior to heavy use. Soil coring (aeration) during the growing season should be practiced every 6 - 8 weeks to aid in root development and to reduce soil compaction. If bermudagrass fields experience significant winter injury, they may be renovated during spring by either sprigging or reseeding. Proper timing and implementation of numerous management techniques is essential to ensure successful fall overseeding of bermudagrass using Lolium spp. as well as its subsequent removal the following spring. These are just some of the strategies used to successfully maintain bermudagrass in this difficult region.

After some reflection and review of my timeline for this semester, I decided not to research the additional poet I was planning on researching, as I want to get started with my work as soon as possible. Personally, I feel that from learning about Ezra Pound and Langston Hughes, I accomplished my goals of
- Learning some history about poetry
- Exploring new writing styles
- Understanding the difference between purpose and tension in a poem
I would like to start off my new posts regarding my work by telling you all about my spring break experience. During my time in California when I was not volunteering, I was spending a lot of time writing and learning from my surroundings. There was a spoken word open mic every Tuesday called Word Humboldt, close to where I was staying, and I went for three nights. The first night while I was there I felt moved to perform some of my old poetry, and it got a positive reaction from the audience.
As I continued to attend these open-mics, I listened to the other, older performers and took some notes. From them I learned a lot about form and how to incorporate it into a performance. I also learned about the importance of purpose, and how every writer utilizes it differently. (It was really inspiring)
The members of Word Humboldt were extremely kind and gave me a lot of inspiration to help write more. One gave me a book, another even wrote me a poem to help with inspiration.
So after learning and getting inspiration from older writers, I had the opportunity and time to branch out and write differently, and even perform it! The reaction was immense pride not only from my friends but also of myself, knowing that I can accomplish multiple types of writing.
My Poems and Goal
So I have decided for my final project, I will present a printed book of a collection of my poetry. In this chapbook I will have approximately 14 pieces, and my goal is to have a similar theme and purpose tying the poems throughout the book. Hopefully, I will incorporate my learnings from Ezra and Langston with their use of
So far, I have a good amount of poems written, but not perfected, for my book. I am in the process of editing and taking time to look at each poem with my mentor Chelsea and other teachers.
I’d like to share a poem that I’ve been working on that will most likely be in my final book. It’s called “Phases”.
The form here was originally supposed to be a Ghazal poem, which is a poem that has a repeated word at the end of two line stanzas. However, as I explored my purpose for writing this piece, (which is sexual assault), I wanted to utilize a form that highlighted that purpose the best, so I used a free form rhyming technique. I wanted to hold the tension of this through a metaphor of a woman and the moon. I’m currently working on this piece with my mentor, but if anyone has any notes or reactions to it please, let me know!
I will continue to update you all on pieces that are being worked on, the process of my portfolio, and so on. If you want to check out my poetry website, its here, https://bessgoldstein1.wixsite.com/besspoetry

AZ’s diabetes combination Qtern approved in Europe
The European Commission has granted marketing approval to a new combination pill from AstraZeneca to treat type 2 diabetes.
Qtern combines the company’s existing DPP-4 inhibitor drug Onglyza (saxagliptin) with its SGLT2 inhibitor Forxiga (dapagliflozin), the first ever to combine treatments from these two classes.
The approval is good news, as the FDA rejected the combination in October last year, saying more data from ongoing or further clinical trials was needed.
The 2-in-1 pill should help AstraZeneca in a crowded market, where competition is increasingly focusing on providing convenient and reliable blood sugar control, as nearly half of all people with type 2 diabetes are unable to reach their treatment goal.
Also of growing importance are claims for long-term cardiovascular benefits. Rivals Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly having just secured FDA approval to claim that Jardiance (empagliflozin) reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes, the first ever drug to achieve this distinction.
Even though these cardiovascular benefits are expected to be a class effect, AstraZeneca’s Forxiga and SGLT2 market leader, Janssen’s Invokana won’t have their own long-term data until 2019.
Meanwhile AstraZeneca will also be aiming to win market share from Merck Sharp & Dohme’s (Merck in the US) Januvia (sitagliptin) and Janumet (sitagliptin + metformin), which is the leading oral diabetes drug franchise worldwide.
Onglyza earned $211 million in the first quarter of 2016, up 15%, but this trails far behind Januvia/Janumet’s 1.41 billion in the same period.
But the new Qtern approval is based on placebo controlled trials, and therefore provides no evidence of the combination being superior to rival treatments or combinations.
Qtern is indicated for adults with type 2 diabetes when metformin and/or sulphonylurea and one of the mono-components of Qtern alone do not provide adequate control, or when a patient is already being treated with the free combination of saxagliptin and dapagliflozin.
There is another obstacle for AstraZeneca’s new combination – in April the FDA issued a new alert about potential for increased risk of heart failure in patients taking Onglyza, and another lesser-known DPP-4 drug, Takeda’s Nesina.
Merck meanwhile has produced results from a long-term study of Januvia, which showed no signs of heart failure in patients.
AZ also has two GLP-1 drugs, Bydureon and Byetta, an injectable class of drugs which is playing an increasingly large part in diabetes treatment.
Meanwhile, AZ has a number of promising drugs in its cardio-metabolic pipeline. MEDI0382, a novel dual-agonist of GLP-1 and glucagon receptors on glycaemic control and weight, MEDI4166, a combination of a PCSK9 cholesterol treatment and a GLP-1, which recently moved into phase 2 trials.

New neuroscience research shows us that the first five years of a child’s life are the most critical period for brain development. What are school districts doing to give all children an equitable start?
Blog Posts (11)
A recent change to the Texas Rising Star QRIS assigns more weight to the importance of adult-child interactions in early childhood programs.
LENA has collected and analyzed its most expansive data set to date through the 10,000 children annually impacted by our programs for families and early childhood teachers.
Porter-Leath uses LENA programs to boost early literacy and connect teachers and families.
School districts around the country are increasingly investing in the early years to give children an equitable start long before kindergarten.
Five cities have been selected to replicate Providence Talks — one of the first early language initiatives implemented at the municipal level — with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies.
To help prepare children to succeed in kindergarten, one school district in northern Alabama launched an early language intervention to boost cognitive development in children ages 0-3.
10-year longitudinal study published in Pediatrics correlates interactive talk in early childhood with later cognitive outcomes.
The first research showing a relationship between conversational turns and brain structure has ben published in JNeurosci. The paper investigates how back and forth interaction between children and their adult caregivers relate to white matter connectivity in the brain.
Laura Camp, one of LENA’s most recent hires, joined the team after 25 years in public education. Read about why she left to join the movement to close the talk gap.
New research by a team at Harvard and MIT used LENA technology and brain imaging to measure the relationship between children’s language experience and their brain activity. The study found that conversational turns predicted variance in verbal scores, while the sheer number of adult words did not.
Dr. Dana Suskind shares about the origins of her book, how she uses LENA technology, and why we all need to “spread the words.”

Novell Inc. is readying more collaboration capabilities for its Internet mail system, enhancing the software’s appeal as an alternative to beefier groupware systems such as Lotus Development Corp. Notes/Domino, Microsoft Corp. Exchange and even Novell’s GroupWise.
The Novell Internet Messaging System (NIMS) 3.0 features new calendaring capabilities, as well as the ability to let end users create notes and schedule tasks and meetings. NIMS, which has attracted 5 million users since Novell introduced it two years ago, is aimed at schools, large organizations, service providers and deskless worker environments.
“In many situations, a heavy messaging system isn’t needed,” says Richard Bliss, product manager at Novell, which boasts 25 million GroupWise users.
Internet messaging systems can be easier to roll out and manage than full-blown messaging systems in that Internet-based systems typically require the downloading of much less software and can be accessed from any PC, kiosk or device with a Web connection.
At Georgia State University, 30,000 students use NIMS.
“We looked at Exchange and GroupWise, but they offered too many options and didn’t follow any calendaring standards such as iCal [the Internet Calendaring and Scheduling specification],” says Sam White, NetWare/Windows NT server support manager. The university uses GroupWise for its faculty and other employees.
With NIMS 3.0, students can not only send and receive e-mail, but can also keep personal calendars of classes and activities, and add notes on particular subjects.
The NIMS server software supports any Post Office Protocol 3 or Internet Message Access Protocol mail client, and any device that supports WML or Wireless Application Protocol. Novell also provides a thin Web-based mail client for any user with browser access.
“Students can use the Web Mail client that comes with NIMS or Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, Netscape or even GroupWise mail clients,” White says. “They can get mail from any browser anywhere on campus.”
NIMS also works with Novell’s eDirectory for management and its system-wide address book capability. NIMS can also work with many domains, and the management of each can be relegated to individual customers or departments.
NIMS’ features are closest to those of Netscape’s iPlanet mail system. However, the iPlanet offering requires separate calendaring and wireless servers, and does not support NetWare servers. Other Internet mail packages, such as Sendmail and Openwave, have no directory or calendaring support.
NIMS 3.0 costs US$9 per user. It works on NetWare, Solaris and Linux servers. Windows 2000 server support is planned. For more information, visit www.novell.com.

With her spry pop framework, Katie Kittermaster articulates the melancholy of young adulthood with wit, warmth and clarity. She possesses an ability to express some of the more difficult, confusing aspects of human relationships in a lucid, plain-spoken way. That makes her songs, even in their most downcast moments, a study of resolve, strength and triumph.
Kittermaster was well aware of this power from the starting gun, leaning mostly on guitar and voice on her 2019 EP ‘Coming Home At Dawn’. Hitting the road with the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Scouting For Girls, Ronan Keating and Lucy Spraggan in her career’s formative stages made it abundantly clear that crowds really homed in on her honest, conversational songs, which have gathered millions of plays worldwide.
The 2020 single ‘One Of A Kind’ introduced a more condensed, pop-focused direction for Katie, without sacrificing the relatable, down-to-earth magnetism that marked her previous material. To connect on a deeper, more immediate level with her listeners, Katie is directly engaging with them on TikTok to witness firsthand how her unfinished material resonates. After starting to tease her new music she has gained views above 1.9 million and 600,000 likes.
Her 2020 single ‘The Problem’ playlisted on over 98 UK radio stations and was played across Europe, with Kittermaster receiving consistent support from BBC Introducing Kent.
In May of this year, Kittermaster signed a global publishing deal with BMG Publishing.
She is set to play her sold-out debut headline show in September, performing at 229 London with her full band, and will be headlining a show at The Garage London on Saturday 26th February 2022, in partnership with DHP Promotions and Industry Live Agency.
As Kittermaster churns out fresh new tunes from old scars and flourishes into adulthood, her journey up ahead looks very bright indeed.
