A gift from France
Huskies became a part of Australia's Antarctic expeditions in 1949. Australia inherited the dogs from the French, in a deal brokered by Phillip Law, the then Director of ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions). On the voyage from France to Antarctica the French were unable to get their dogs to Adelie Land in Antarctica due to heavy sea ice. At this point the French asked Australia to take them into care to save the dogs enduring the sea journey back to Europe. Melbourne Zoo cared for them for a year until the French returned, and Australia kept the 31 pups born in the interim.
These pups were the breeding stock for Australia's Antarctic huskies, and their descendants remained a part of expeditions until 1992. The dogs outperformed the machinery of the day, particularly when it came to sastrugi (wind rippled ice) and creviced terrain, and were invaluable for scouting ahead of heavy machines to find the best route. They also needed no spare parts, and had cheap running costs.
Before the dogs made it to Antarctica in 1954, they were located on the sub-Antarctic Heard Island station. Here they were bred and trained for sledge pulling duties.
Heard Island lacked ice and snow in the spring and summer, so the dog handlers had to get inventive in their training methods. The expeditioners modified a jeep trailer and christened it the Dogmobile. This helped prepare the intrepid pups for life at Mawson Station.

Although the Korean entertainment industry is full with beautiful actors and idols, some celebrities stand out for their elite visuals.
However, netizens recently discussed female celebrities that many consider among the visual elites, but aren’t necessarily beautiful in their own eyes. And while the creator of the post suggested actress Park Shin Hye as an example, other netizens have brought up Kang Sora, f(x)‘s Krystal, Red Velvet‘s Irene, and more as other celebrities who they don’t consider as pretty as they’ve been praised to be.
Koreaboo has collected reactions from Netizens who commented on the original article from our Korean source. The below comments are the most popular comments at the time of this article being published.
[+ 1240, – 224] I know I’m going to get mad hate but…I don’t think Krystal is all that
[+ 800, – 322] Irene is pretty but I don’t understand why people make her sound like a goddess.. She is really pretty in black hair but she doesn’t look that great in bright colored hair and her hair pulled back..she does look amazing in some pictures but in others she just looks like a regular pretty idol. The other members are just as pretty
[+ 792, – 85] Kang Sora has an amazing body but I really don’t know about her face…

Better use can be made of the technology. The Electronic Home Detention Law provides that, except for certain excluded offenses, those inmates serving a sentence for a Class 2, 3, or 4 felony may be placed on electronic home detention. While not all of these inmates will be appropriate candidates for ED, the proper use of a risk and needs assessment tool (see Recommendation 2) can identify those inmates who should be placed on ED to serve their sentence, or can be released to ED after serving part of the sentence in prison.115
This technology can relieve prison crowding in other ways as well. One of the difficulties faced by IDOC parole agents is that there are few swift and certain sanctions available when an offender violates the terms of Mandatory Supervised Release. As a result, parole agents often return the offender to prison because there are no other adequate intermediate sanctions available. But research has shown that an intermediate sanction can be a more effective response to a violation, and if electronic monitoring were available as an option, there is a greater chance of a better outcome for both the offender and the public.
Currently IDOC can use electronic monitoring as an intermediate sanction for a violation, but must first get permission of the Prisoner Review Board. The Commission believes that this unnecessarily slows down the process – sanctions work best when they are both swift and certain. The Commission therefore recommends that IDOC be given the authority to place offenders on electronic monitoring for up to thirty days without the permission of the Prisoner Review Board, as a means of allowing graduated sanctions for violations of supervised release.
115 In its Community Corrections Subcommittee, Commissioners heard from Mark Kleiman, the Director of the Crime and Justice Program at New York University’s Marron Institute of Urban Management, and Angela Hawken, [the Director of the Litmus Program at New York University’s Marron Institute of Urban Management] and Director of the Swift, Certain, and Fair Resource Center for the U.S. Department of Justice, on a particularly promising model of electronic detention called graduated reintegration. Under this proposal, a correctional agency would supervise eligible prisoners in apartment settings, monitoring their behavior through a regime of swift, certain, and fair supervision, enabling them to gradually earn more freedom through good behavior or lose freedom through noncompliance. For an early description of this program, see Mark A.R. Kleiman, Angela Hawken, and Ross Halperin, “We Don’t Need to Keep Criminals in Prison to Punish Them,” Vox, (March 2015), accessed Dec. 24, 2016, vox.com/2015/3/18/8226957/prison-reform-graduated-reentry.

Lassonde Awards Ceremony 2020
On October 19, 2020 the Lassonde School of Engineering hosted its first virtual Lassonde Awards Ceremony. Lassonde is home to an extraordinary community of dedicated students, innovative researchers, and committed staff. This ceremony recognized the many achievements across the school in the 2019-2020 academic year. The ceremony was hosted by Dean Goodyer and welcomed many special guests, including President & Vice Chancellor, Rhonda Lenton, Julie Lassonde from the Lassonde Family Foundation, award donors, students, faculty, and staff.
During the ceremony, Lassonde was thrilled to announce CaseWare as the Co-Op Employer of the Year. CaseWare develops software solutions to support organizations with financial, auditing reporting and data analytics. Over the past two years, CaseWare has hired 18 co-op students from Lassonde offering them a rewarding and challenging work placement experience.
The ceremony featured a spotlight talk from Josephine Morgenroth, PhD candidate in the Department of Civil Engineering working under the supervision of Dr. Usman Khan and Dr. Matthew Perras. Josephine is a recipient of many awards including the Carswell Scholarship, NSERC Post-Graduate Scholarship, and Ontario Graduate Scholarship. As a result of these awards, Josephine has been able to focus on her research pursuits in applying machine learning to rock engineering practice in order with the goal of creating safer and more economical development of underground infrastructure.
Lassonde welcomed back alumna Farzia Khan (BSc, ‘17) to speak about the newly established Farzia Khan Champion for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Prize. Farzia reflected on her own experience at Lassonde and how the community motivated her to give back and support the next generation of students. With this award, she hopes to encourage students at Lassonde to become inclusive leaders, value diversity, and create equal opportunities for everyone.
For the first time, during the ceremony guests were able to learn more about each student award recipient and hear firsthand how student awards and scholarships have impacted their education. Many of these awards and scholarships would not be available to students without the support of Lassonde’s donors. Thank you to all the individuals and organizations that support student success at Lassonde.

In the forthcoming movie Songbird, Hollywood producer Michael Bay flashes forward to Los Angeles in 2024, a city stricken by COVID-23 and locked down under violent martial law.
It’s just one of several pandemic-themed films currently in the works. And while some of these movies might be dismissed as tone-deaf and quickly forgotten, the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a profound effect on the worlds of storytelling, art and entertainment.
According to some of UCLA’s most influential artistic visionaries, the pandemic has already challenged long-standing creative endeavors and accelerated the shift to digitally expressed and distributed art forms.
“High art,” such as corporate-sponsored opera and ballet establishments, will face the greatest challenges, suggests Peter Sellars, distinguished professor in the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance at the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture.
Sellars, an innovative director who often relocates operas and classic works of theater to contemporary settings, believes such grand houses are a relic of the 19th century. Many will prove to be physically, culturally and financially unsustainable, he says, and they will either close or share their facilities with other art forms.
“Major institutions are incapable of delivering what art will now be required to do,” he says. “New creators and new audiences will be searching out intimate experiences with a sense of the personal, the immediate and the authentic — it’s the immersive at close range. In short, human scale.
“Democracy, social justice, racial justice, food justice, environmental justice and the arts need to be reconfigured, freshly energized and redirected from a hands-on, grassroots, communal and participatory impulse,” Sellars says.
“Culture gives us a way to properly grieve that the daily news cannot give us,” he continues. “We need the rituals, the communal structures and the music that allow us to acknowledge, process and share collective grief and loss. And we need visionary acts of imagination that mobilize and empower us to move forward differently and to turn a new page in history. It’s up to us to find new ways to heal more deeply and emerge from COVID-19 wiser and clearer.”
A seismic shift
The pandemic has accelerated the widespread adoption of technologies such as the videoconferencing app Zoom, and the pace is expected to continue as the nation moves to the superfast 5G, or fifth generation of wireless technology. But how will artists take advantage of this seismic shift?
“Technology is a pencil,” Sellars says. “Working with patience and skill, you can use a pencil to draw a beautiful portrait of your daughter or to design a better neutron bomb.”
Meanwhile, others have already adapted. This year, UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) livestreamed nearly all of its 35 performances. Some events, such as the four-day Tune In Festival and the Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare at Home series, attracted a wider audience than if they had been performed at Royce Hall. CAP UCLA has received positive feedback from nearby Northern California as well as from faraway Brazil and Australia.
CAP UCLA’s ability to quickly adapt reflects the determination of Kristy Edmunds, its executive and artistic director, who wanted to avoid just “snapping back to the old grid, which did not sustain us in the past.”
Edmunds believes that 5G’s faster and more stable network could make streaming a permanent alternative to some in-person performances.
“I speak with 300 artists a month, many [of whom are] far from Los Angeles, and the discussion is always: ‘How can we stand with you?’” Edmunds says. “At a time when visa issues have become more difficult, and with rising hotel and airline costs, technology may offer an alternative. We can help some express their voices without them having to come to L.A.
“Artists have always enjoyed fruitful relationships with new technology,” she continues. “Some are looking to create new 5G channels. It could mean not just higher-quality streaming opportunities, but performances that could be fed live as 3D virtual reality performances into the home. This [enhanced technology] is built into the intimate space of the UCLA Nimoy Theater [formerly the Crest Theater], which I hope to open in the summer of 2022.”
This leap forward will require serious investment in technological infrastructure. But it could change how culture is experienced.
CAP UCLA is already working with Lynette Wallworth, an Australian visual artist who has won two Emmy Awards for her virtual reality documentaries Collisions (2017) and Awavena (2020). When viewing Collisions through a VR headset, audience members have said they felt as if they were actually on the sacred Australian land that’s being threatened by nuclear testing, experiencing every tremor of ecological change as if they were there.
The thrilling reality of AR
Jeff Burke ’99, M.S. ’01, M.F.A. ’10, professor-in-residence at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT), and his crew of students have been working on ways to bring an augmented reality experience to audiences during the pandemic. With augmented reality, a real-world environment can be enhanced with digital visual elements that are overlaid on the scene.
On Nov. 25, the TFT crew used Zoom and a mobile app called Grasshopper AR to demonstrate this new form of storytelling. On Zoom, audience members could see a stage with actors in a realistic version of 1963 Chicago. But when they looked through the video app, they could see the same stage portraying a fictional version of America that’s occupied by the Axis powers of Nazi Germany and imperial Japan. Same scene, but very different narratives.
The theater department and the Center for Research in Engineering, Media and Performance (REMAP) — a partnership between TFT and the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering — are currently developing A Most Favored Nation, a new, immersive theater and AR production. Based on the work of science fiction writer Philip K. Dick and Amazon’s TV series The Man in the High Castle, Nation will feature two alternate storylines — one will be on stage, and the other will be prerecorded and available on mobile devices. When theatergoers see the production in person, they can watch the stage and view the stage through their mobile device to experience the two different realities.
Looking deeper and wider
When the pandemic is over, how quickly can the arts regroup? Even though COVID-19 has laid waste to comedy and music venues, many of which are now boarded up, Edmunds believes that artists will step up at different rates and in different spaces. Musicians, poets and writers will return first, with large touring ensembles returning later.
“Theater and dance need performance spaces to rehearse and redevelop their work. It is a reality that some practices may have atrophied, like the economy that supported them,” Edmunds says.
Chon Noriega, distinguished professor at TFT, feels the most revolutionary technology is already in our hands.
“I have upgraded to the iPhone 12. With its 4K camera and some software, I could make a commercial-grade movie outside the studio system,” says the director of the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center.
He argues that 98% of Latino culture is reduced to clichés in mainstream media, but new communication channels, including Zoom, could unleash greater diversity and frame different narratives. Noriega believes audiences staying at home have learned to look deeper and wider to find voices that reflect their interests more closely than mainstream media.
“Can we still trust our neighbors and link arms? It is artists who must pave the way back toward such a state.”
Kristy Edmunds, executive and artistic director of UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance
“[New technology] has already allowed independent voices to establish [themselves] on their own social media channels, on spaces such as Facebook and YouTube,” he says.
Art house cinemas are also a place where diverse stories can be told. Although they have been closed for nearly a year, Noriega says these cinemas will “survive the pandemic because they have a lower cost basis. They are used to being only a quarter full.”
No more blockbusters?
Large movie theater chains can expect to see several changes in the new year. In August, a New York federal judge granted the U.S. Department of Justice’s request to end the Paramount Consent Decrees, which were antitrust rules from the late 1940s that mandated a separation between film distribution and exhibition. In other words, film studios couldn’t own movie theaters for about 70 years, and now that’s no longer the case.
“So, with the pandemic devastating audiences, studios can pick up theaters for cents on the dollar,” says Tom Nunan ’84, film producer and lecturer at TFT. “We shall return to the cinema but may now find it’s the Disney multiplex showing both new releases and reruns of Finding Nemo.
“It could end the obsession with opening-weekend box-office grosses,” Nunan adds, “as studios reduce marketing costs by releasing new content [that’s] simultaneously streaming and [playing] theatrically, with movies staying much longer in theaters.”
On Dec. 3, Warner Bros. announced that its 2021 movies — from Wonder Woman 1984 to Dune and The Matrix 4 — will be simultaneously released in theaters and on the HBO Max streaming platform. It’s a radical shift in movie distribution.
Together in connectedness
The pandemic has transformed several entertainment sectors. Sales have increased for video games, art supplies and musical instruments, while creative short-form videos distributed through TikTok are booming.
At UCLA, there’s guarded optimism that artistic renewal will be healthy.
“Audiences will return to the theater,” Edmunds says, “because we yearn to be together, not just in the auditorium but socializing in the lobbies. We need this energy and sense of belonging that we share. It will feed our soul. We [in the performance sector] offer moments that allow us to lament and to be together in connectedness.
“But the question remains: Can we still trust our neighbors and link arms? It is artists who must pave the way back toward such a state,” Edmunds continues. “They are tending to a soul that has been savaged through grief, to help us find our common humanity and each other.”
That path forward sounds like a long way from a Michael Bay movie.

VENICE at Carnival Time, Simply Magical !

Truly stunning from head to toe, from their wigs and masks and artfully applied makeup to their splendid dress and footwear, these costumed ladies and gentlemen were fully engaged in celebrating the festival and delighted in stopping and posing most charmingly for photos. A true feast for the eyes. The ambiance was almost surreal, and the fascination day after day for enjoying the view, admiring the extraordinarily colorful costumes and taking photos never left me. The pace was relaxed but the joie de vivre was infectious … no matter what we did as we toured, we enjoyed it more thanks to the Carnevale festivities and, in particular, the magnificent costumed participants strolling around in full regalia.
What else contributed to the “enchantment” of Venice?
First and foremost, were the three Carnevale Costume Balls we attended, Il Minuetto at the most famous hotel in Venice, the Hotel Danieli (where we were staying), the Grand Ball of Carnevale known as the “Ballo Tiepolo” at the Palazzo Pisani Moretta , and the Official Dinner Show and Ball at Palazzo Ca Vendramin Calergi. This latter palazzo is well known for being the residence of the famous composer, Richard Wagner, during his years in Venice, and also for serving during the rest of the year as the Casino of Venice, the oldest gaming establishment in the world.
Our favorite Carnevale Ballo experience was the elegant Il Minuetto at Hotel Danieli where the four-course dinner with wines was superb, the service was impeccable, and we delighted in the Minuet lesson we received from a Dance Master.
While we enjoyed both of the other two Costume Balls we attended as well as the water taxi ride over and back from the dock of our hotel to the dock of the palazzo where the Ball was taking place, there were a few hiccups. The festivities at Ballo Tiepolo were abbreviated because the commencement was seriously delayed until 10:30pm, and the crowd at the Official Dinner Show and Ball was frankly a bit too wild for us, with guys dancing in nothing but bikini briefs, and dinner service was late and very slow. Perhaps our leaving shortly after midnight was too premature and we missed the more enticing experience later on? Nevertheless, attending all three gave us much more insight into the Carnevale costume ball experience and we did have a very interesting time at each of them . After all, people-watching is part of the Carnevale experience!
The Hotel Danieli was our exquisite home for our 15 glorious days in Venice. This was our first time staying at the 5-star palatial Hotel Danieli, but I very much hope it will not be our last time. The staff knew our names from day 1 and made us feel that our wish was their command. Beauty is everywhere in Venice, but that’s an understatement at the Hotel Danieli, built as a palazzo during the Renaissance at the end of the 14th century by a noble Venetian family, expanded over the years, and still very much full of historic charm and allure in the 21st century.
The hotel’s restaurants are superb – in fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better combination of Italian cuisine, service and view in Venice than at the Danieli’s main restaurant known as Ristorante Terrazza Danieli. In the warmer weather, you can eat outside on the spacious outdoor terrace at Terrazza while enjoying a spectacular view of the Grand Canal and tutto Venezia! But thanks to its many windows, fabulous views are also available year-round throughout the interior of the restaurant.
Our rooms located on the canal side of the Danieli were quiet, quite comfortable, and very well-appointed. We had the pleasure of staying first in a “premium deluxe” room, and then in a top floor suite. If you choose to sojourn at the Hotel Danieli, you will be in good company with the likes of many renowned artists, writers, musicians and other luminaries including Goethe, Dickens, Peggy Guggenheim, Leonard Bernstein, Steven Spielberg, and art critic John Ruskin.
The cultural offerings are superb in Venice. At the city’s renowned Opera House, La Fenice, we were totally entranced by the production of “The Barber of Seville”, and experienced sheer delight while enjoying our favorite Operetta, “The Merry Widow.” From the casting and outstanding performances to the stage settings and scenery, our operatic experiences were extraordinarily satisfying, and we left La Fenice both times uplifted and humming some of the hauntingly beautiful music we had just enjoyed.
Similarly impressed, we absolutely delighted in the outstanding Vivaldi Chamber Music Concerts at the Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pieta which was the Church where Vivaldi, regarded as one of the greatest Baroque composers, regularly worked and taught orphans for many years.
Venice has personality, charm and romance in spades. Plus, for me, it has always been enchanting, yet never more so than at Carnevale time.

+1 for Kikuichi TKC. The steel is SEMI stainless, so it will get some greyish patina on it if you leave it dirty, and will rust if you really abuse / neglect it. The steel is actually really awesome though. Feels much more like carbon than stainless when sharpening and responds well to strops and hones. Factory edge geometry is pretty robust, but I thinned mine out quite a bit and still have no problem with durability.
I have really big hands and find the western handle on mine to be a little cramped on the underside so I eventually had it modified and re-handled.
I know that R ******* and C *** are dirty worlds on here, but the "Remedy" model is essentially a TKC, but with a (IMO) better handle, more robust blade, CPM154 (premium stainless, very tough, very wear and corrosion resistant) blade, and made in the USA. I beat the hell out of one (boned a chicken, cut rib bones, breast, spine, wings) and it didn't even flinch.

This refers particularly to times before the 20th century, although the precise usage is disputed, as 18th-century feminism and 19th-century feminism are often subsumed into “feminism”.
What does The Scarlet Letter symbolize?
The scarlet letter is meant to be a symbol of shame, but instead it becomes a powerful symbol of identity to Hester. The letter’s meaning shifts as time passes. … Like Pearl, the letter functions as a physical reminder of Hester’s affair with Dimmesdale.

Education of health professional students within clinical practice settings is an essential component of developing competent, effective and safe clinicians. Clinical educators (CEs) have dual roles while supervising students: 1) delivering health services 2) concurrent direct supervision and support of students. The investigative team sought to gain a greater understanding of these dual roles by analysing how CEs spend their time during student placements.
To develop a data collection tool to capture CE activity during student placements including a breakdown of clinical and non-clinical tasks.
To determine the activity profile of physiotherapy CEs during clinical placements, specifically identifying a breakdown of their non-clinical tasks.
The project team developed, trialed and implemented a data collection tool designed to identify the daily clinical and non-clinical activities performed by CEs. The tool was completed by 53 physiotherapy CEs in five Queensland Public Health Service hospitals. Data were collected over four, five-week placement blocks in four areas of clinical practice. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics.
Analysis revealed that CEs spent most of their time teaching and training students (75%), with the remainder spent providing clinical care (15%), clinical services management (9%) and teaching and training other staff (1%).
Of the 75% of time spent teaching students: 80% was spent providing direct supervision of students undertaking clinical care; 8% preparing and providing formal feedback; and 12% delivering student education activities (e.g. tutorials).
Physiotherapy CEs spent significant amounts of time engaged in activities that support both service delivery and best practice clinical learning. This presentation will explore the breakdown of these activities, including how time commitments to various tasks changed throughout the duration of placement. Implications for practice including staff resourcing of allied health student placements and how this data links to student contribution will also be discussed.
For 8 years (2010 to 2018) Mark was the Queensland Physiotherapy Placement & Development Coordinator with primary responsibility for: the state-wide planning, coordination and management of the annual central allocation process; developing placement capacity and quality initiatives and undertaking analysis and evaluation of associated outcomes within the Queensland public health system. From July 2018 Mark has been the Assistant Director of Physiotherapy at The Townsville Hospital.
Mark has a particular interest in student and staff education and in the clinical areas of orthopaedics and cardiorespiratory. He is past Chair and member of the Queensland Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Network.
Mark has completed a Graduate Certificate in Health Management and a Graduate Certificate in Health Professional Education. He is also an adjunct clinical lecturer within the Physiotherapy department of James Cook University, Townsville.

HOW TO MAKE A VALENTINE’S DAY BANNER USING YOUR CRICUT
STEP 1: CUT FELT FOR THE BANNER
You can cut the felt banner on the Cricut if desired, but I chose to cut my banner by hand since it's pretty simple to do. Cut a rectangle that is 11" wide by 13" long. Measure 2.5" from the bottom on each side of the banner and make a mark. Fold the banner in half and make a mark at the bottom center of the banner. Then cut from the center of the banner to one side. Do the same thing on the other side.
STEP 2: DOWNLOAD MY FREE HELLO LOVE DESIGN AND UPLOAD TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE.
Download the free Hello Love design (located at the bottom of the post) and upload it to Cricut Design Space. Check out my video here if you need help with this step. Double check that the design is 8.5" wide for this project before cutting it.
STEP 3: CUT HEAT TRANSFER VINYL
Place the black HTV on a standard grip mat with the shiny side down. Make sure the design is mirrored before you cut it. Set the material type to iron on, and cut.
Next, place the red glitter HTV on the standard grip mat shiny side down. Again, make sure the design is mirrored. Set your material type to glitter iron on, and cut.
STEP 4: REMOVE EXCESS VINYL AND WEED THE DESIGN
Use your weeding tool to remove all of the excess vinyl. Then weed the design to remove any vinyl that we don't want to show up on the banner.
STEP 5: PLACE THE HEART IN THE CENTER OF THE DESIGN
Stick the heart in the center of the Hello Love design with the shiny side on the sticky vinyl backing. You want to make sure the dull side will be touching the felt when ironed on since that is the adhesive side.
STEP 6: SET THE EASY PRESS TEMPERATURE AND TIME
Set your heat press temperature to 270°F and set the time to 30 seconds.
STEP 7: PREHEAT THE FELT
Use the Easy Press to preheat your felt for 5 seconds.
STEP 8: PLACE DESIGN ON FELT AND HEAT
Place the design in the center of the felt banner. Place the Easy Press over the design being sure to cover the entire design. Click the "C" Cricut button to start the Easy Press timer. Apply firm pressure while heating.
STEP 9: TURN OVER FELT AND HEAT THE BACK
Turn over the felt banner and apply the Easy Press to the back of the banner for 15 seconds.
STEP 10: REMOVE VINYL BACKING
If using Cricut iron on, wait until the vinyl backing is cool to the touch before peeling. Some HTV is warm peel, please refer to the peel instructions for the brand you are using
STEP 11: GLUE ON POM POM TRIM
Use hot glue to attach the pom pom trim to the bottom of the banner. The trim can be glued to the front
or the back of the banner, but I preferred seeing the extra red trim.
STEP 12: REMOVE EXCESS TRIM
Carefully cut off the excess trim from the banner.
STEP 13: GLUE THE DOWEL ROD TO THE BANNER
Flip over the banner, fold the top over the dowel rod to see where you want to place the glue. Use hot glue to adhere the felt over the dowel rod.
Make sure your dowel rod is centered before you glue down the felt...OOPS!
STEP 14: TIE STRING OR RIBBON AROUND THE DOWEL ROD
Tie ribbon or string around each end of the dowel so you can hang your banner.

device is designed to meet the most demanding switching requirement of
ultra-high reliability and fast response time.


IP Video Technology Used To Monitor Offshore Oil Drilling Rig
IndigoVision’s complete IP video technology has been used to upgrade real-time monitoring onboard the Polar Pioneer exploration rig, having passed an extensive and rigorous testing program in a harsh and challenging environment. The new IP-CCTV system monitors the platform drilling operation to ensure safe and efficient operation at all times and provides the rig with a scalable solution for future expansion.
“Using IP-CCTV technology onboard a drilling platform is a major breakthrough for us,” said Per Jogeir Karlsbakk, Fugro Oceanor’s CCTV Project Engineer. “We demonstrated that IndigoVision’s system exceeded their demanding specification and now the rig benefits from the operational flexibility that IP video delivers.”
Offshore drilling platforms have traditionally relied on analog CCTV due to the need for full frame-rate video with minimum latency. Having proved, through a successful pilot installation, that the IP video system guaranteed no dropped frames and delivered excellent quality video at very low latency, IndigoVision’s partner, Norway based Fugro Oceanor AS, deployed the system throughout the rig. The driving force behind the CCTV upgrade was the continuing problems of supporting an ageing analog system and the lack of expansion capability.
Based in the North Sea, Polar Pioneer is operated by StatoilHydro, one of the world's largest oil companies. The rig is a semi-submersible drilling platform, capable of operating in harsh environments in water depths of up to 500 meters and is able to drill to an amazing depth of 7,000 meters.
Operational running costs for a platform of this kind are high, so any downtime from technical problems is unacceptable. Reliability is therefore a fundamental requirement for the CCTV system. Unlike analog systems that use a central switching matrix, IndigoVision’s IP video solution is distributed and doesn’t have a single point of failure. Its multi-way racks that house the MPEG-4 transmitter/receiver modules have built-in redundancy with dual network connections and power supplies.
The operators use ‘Control Center’, IndigoVision’s Security Management Software, to view live video from 24 cameras around the rig. The analog cameras are fitted in specialist housings manufactured from 316L stainless steel by Fugro Oceanor and are designed to handle the harsh environment caused by corrosion, mud and oil. Many of the cameras are EX rated for use in hazardous areas. Fugro Oceanor has also developed a special cable for the harsh environment that carries power, digital video and telemetry.
“As the IP video system is distributed, video management workstations can be located anywhere on the network” Karlsbakk said. “StatoilHydro currently monitor the video from both the rig’s main surveillance centre and the drilling cabin and plan to expand the system so real-time video can be streamed to onshore surveillance centers.”

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has met representatives of the Falun Dafa Association UK to discuss the illegal practice of organ harvesting and persecution by the Chinese Government of the Falun Gong people in that country.
7 December 2021
We remain deeply concerned about restrictions on freedom of religion or belief in China, including the persecution of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners and others on the grounds of their religion or belief. The freedom to practise, change or share ones faith or belief without discrimination or violent opposition is a human right that all people should enjoy.
We continue to monitor and review evidence relating to reports of forced organ harvesting in China and maintain a dialogue with leading NGOs and international partners on the issue.
We regularly raise our concerns about human rights with the Chinese authorities. The Foreign Secretary did so most recently in a telephone call with her Chinese counterpart, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, on 22 October.

SAN FRANCISCO – Zany experiments testing scientific theories in real-world settings have earned the TV show “MythBusters” a devoted following, but a stunt gone awry met with an unhappy audience when an errant cannonball went shooting through a California family’s bedroom.
Sheriff’s deputies are still measuring how, exactly, the cannonball flew from a bomb range in the rolling hills flanking a suburban San Francisco Bay Area neighborhood and rocketed into the front door of a home and through its master bedroom before landing in a neighbor’s parked minivan.
Hosts for the Discovery Channel show fired the cannonball Tuesday as they filmed an episode testing whether other types of projectiles shot from a cannon would pick up the same speed and have the same impact as the steel ball.
Instead of hitting a string of water-filled garbage cans, however, the cannonball passed over the barrels, crashed straight through a protective cinder-block wall and careened off the hill behind it, said Alameda County Sheriff’s Department spokesman J.D. Nelson.
“It missed the target and took kind of an oddball bounce,” Nelson said. “It was almost like skipping a rock on a lake. Instead of burying it into the hill it just went skyward.”
No one was injured, and the home’s residents didn’t even wake up until the broken drywall settled on top of them, Nelson said.
A meeting was called with the show’s entire production staff to understand what went wrong.
Producers have used the cannon they built at the county’s bomb range, which is tucked in a valley in the suburb of Dublin, more than 50 times without incident, said Nelson, the department’s liaison to the show.

Today is Brown Bag-It Day. I had grand plans to come up with some fun tips on packable lunches – and then I realized how inauthentic that would be. I pack a lunch once a week at most and it’s usually leftovers. I am no authority on brown bagging.
Instead, I decided to share one of my current favorite lunches. Working from home, I have the luxury of being able to whip up something for lunch as long as it’s fast. These Greek nachos are fast, fun and the perfect size for lunch.
(from Iowa Girl Eats)
1 taco sized flour tortilla (I use whole wheat)
2 T. hummus (I use cucumber dill flavored hummus)
2 T. feta cheese
8 kalamata olives, halved
1/4 c. chopped tomato
2 T. red onion, minced
2 T. Greek vinaigrette (optional) (I use oil & vinegar)
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Cut tortilla into 8 wedges. Place wedges onto a non-stick sprayed baking sheet, lightly spray the tops with more non-stick spray, then bake for 3-4 minutes or until slightly toasted and golden brown. (If you’re using a whole wheat tortilla, you’ll have to bake it for 2-3 minutes longer.)
Spread about 1/2 teaspoon hummus onto each toasted wedge, followed by about 1/2 teaspoon feta cheese. Top with olive halves, tomato, red onion, and about 1/2 teaspoon Greek vinaigrette, if desired. Bake for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and hot.

Taoiseach appointee Micheal Martin has hinted that further lockdown restrictions might be imposed in the very near future.
Government ministers are due to meet with the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) in two weeks to discuss the introduction of further restrictions.
The latest blunder by Mr. Martin et al includes the mandatory closing of pubs, restaurants, and other similar venues at midnight, which suggests that the Government believes that viral infection can only occur after that time.
Other gems include ministers’ belief that continuous dancing inside nightclubs will prevent infection, and that standing stances inside music venues will keep people safe.

The Kansas House has advanced a bill that would bar political candidates from removing themselves from the ballot after the filing deadline. Currently, candidates can declare they can’t serve in office and have their name taking off the ballot before an election.
Republican Representative Mark Kahrs repeatedly referenced Democrat Chad Taylor dropping out of the U.S. Senate race last year.
Republican Attorney General Derek Schmidt wants a chance to argue in court that Kansas Democrats are legally obligated to pick a new nominee for the U.S. Senate election this November.
On Thursday, Schmidt's office asked a three-judge panel in Shawnee County District Court for permission to file friend-of-the-court arguments in a disgruntled voter's lawsuit. A hearing in the case is set for Monday.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says about 500 voters living overseas will be told they may have to re-vote in the U.S. Senate race after ballots were mailed to them Saturday.
On Friday, Kobach directed counties to begin mailing overseas ballots to meet the federal deadline.
The ballots will have no Democratic candidate in the U.S. Senate race after the Kansas Supreme Court ordered Kobach to honor nominee Chad Taylor's request to remove his name, since he dropped out of the race.
The Kansas Supreme Court has ordered the state to remove U.S. Senate Democratic nominee Chad Taylor's name from the ballot, in a ruling that could influence the national fight for control of the Senate.
The court's decision Thursday leaves Democrats without a nominee, potentially making it easier for independent candidate Greg Orman to defeat three-term Republican incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts. The GOP has counted on Roberts winning re-election on Nov. 4 as they seek to recapture a Senate majority.
The Kansas Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday on whether Democrat nominee Chad Taylor should be removed from race for U.S Senate in the November elections.
Taylor dropped out of the race this month, and he's trying to get his name off the ballot. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says Taylor's name should stay on because he did not say he was unfit for the position when he withdrew.
University of Kansas Political Science Professor Burdett Loomis calls the situation "extraordinarily unusual."

Plans for the redevelopment of Lime Street are set to move forward next week.
Liverpool council’s ruling cabinet is being advised to approve the next stage of the proposals including agreeing a 250 year lease with developer Neptune.
According to council documents the £39m scheme will produce 350 jobs and, if approved, the legal agreements will “enable the redevelopment of a key part of Lime Street”.
The plans will see a 101 room hotel, a 412 bedroom student accommodation site and new retail and leisure units on and behind Lime Street, between The Vines and The Crown pubs.
Neptune development director Rob Mason said: “This will be another very positive step forward towards the regeneration of Lime Street and the creation of a radically improved gateway to the city centre.
“Hopefully the report and recommendations will be accepted and we can look forward to starting work on site before the end of October.”
According to the council Lime Street is of “critical importance” but currently “most of the properties on the east side of Lime Street between Lime Street and Copperas Hill represent a significant blight on this area” and development had, in the past, been frustrated by the properties being owned by a variety of different people.
In August 2013 the council had an opportunity to acquire a number of properties which had been owned by Futurist Developments Limited.
The proposals by developers Neptune were finally approved by city planners during the summer, despite the concerns of heritage campaigners and Lib Dem Cllr Richard Kemp – who described it as “metropolitan tat”.
Objections were raised at the planning committee, particularly over the loss of the Futurist, one of the country’s oldest purpose built cinemas.
A report to the council cabinet, which meets next Friday, October 2, says negotiations are continuing with remaining tenants and property owners “to ensure the site is assembled fully and so vacant possession can be provided prior to development commencing”.
Earlier in the year Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson said the initial Lime Street regeneration plans were “not very impressive” and vowed they would be reviewed before approval, following widespread criticism from ECHO readers.
New look proposals revealing a dramatic overhaul for Lime Street were released in June and it is now hoped, subject to cabinet approval, work could start in October.
