A record number of people are homeless in our ever-growing city. Nearly 60,000 live in the shelter system, including more than 23,000 children. New York City is struggling to produce affordable housing to serve the neediest of people. Instead it is forcing far too many into dangerous, unregulated shelter units with very little oversight.
Cluster sites—rent-stabilized apartments that the Department of Homeless Services rents through nonprofit intermediaries—are a prime example. The city is using more than 3,000 of them, paying two or three times the legal rent to house more than 11,000 people, all families with children.
These sites have turned into modern-day slums. The Department of Investigation found terrible conditions in them, including broken elevators, broken fire escapes, damaged gas lines, water leaks and more. But because Homeless Services rents through intermediaries, it has little oversight or knowledge of these problems. For example, two children, Ibanez and Scylee Ambrose, were tragically killed in a Bronx cluster site last year by a faulty radiator whose problems had been reported but never fixed. It’s reckless and irresponsible for a city agency to blindly subsidize slums when we desperately need quality, affordable housing.
We must enact policies to ensure slumlords make repairs to conditions that threaten tenants and neighbors. Currently, when Homeless Services makes an agreement with a nonprofit to rent cluster sites, it does not negotiate any contracts with the property owners. This is irresponsible and allows slumlords to get away with warehousing people in substandard conditions.
However, Human Services Commissioner Steven Banks testified yesterday that last year, the city and nonprofit shelter providers cleared nearly 14,000 violations in noncluster shelters. Why is the same attention not afforded to hazardous cluster sites?
Following a recommendation in a plan drafted by nonprofit organization Picture the Homeless called the Gaining Ground Pilot Project, we are working with our City Council colleagues on a bill that will reverse this dangerous oversight by requiring Homeless Services to keep records on cluster site properties and to have contracts with property owners as well as nonprofits. The legislation will ensure that repairs are made when life-threatening conditions are reported by a tenant.
Secondly, cluster sites must remain affordable for present and future homeless New Yorkers. Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration is working to phase out cluster sites, but oversight is lacking to prevent landlords from charging more than the legal rent if the units are returned back to rent-stabilized status. In fact, there is currently little enforcement to guarantee that landlords will re-register apartments as rent-stabilized when they are no longer used as cluster sites. Moreover, there is no assurance that a previously homeless or low-income family will be able to afford the regulated rent.
If landlords do not uphold their agreements, in the most egregious cases, the city should take these properties using lien sales, litigation or eminent domain. The sites could then be put in a community land trust to keep them permanently affordable. This could preserve over 3,000 existing units and potentially more.
We can transform these cluster sites into thousands of safe, affordable units in a short amount of time and help thousands of homeless New Yorkers get back on their feet.
Elizabeth Crowley, D-Queens, Corey Johnson, D-Manhattan, and Rory Lancman, D-Queens, are members of the City Council.


text: After attending protests following a horrific gang rape and assault that took place in Delhi in 2012, India-born Ram Devineni, who was working as an IT analyst at Citibank in New York, decided to do something to influence the way boys perceived women. So he wrote a comic book starring Priya, a young female superhero who seeks justice for victims of violence in India’s patriarchal culture. Devineni has given away more than 60,000 copies of Priya’s Mirror, the second book in the ongoing series, since it was published in September 2016. For each release, he has partnered with the augmented-reality company Blippar to create an immersive reading experience designed to foster empathy for victims of violence. “The only way to really combat inequality,” Devineni says, “is to use stories and put them into the lives of young people.” His documentary, The Karma Killings, about a series of gruesome murders in India, was released on Netflix in January 2017.

VICAM Now Offers a Single Extraction Test for Aflatoxins and Fumonisins in Corn and Grain
Afla-V AQUA and Fumo-V AQUA combine eco-friendly extraction into one simple step
MILFORD, Mass., November 1, 2016 – Waters Corporation (WAT: NYSE) today announced VICAM®, a Waters® Business, now offers a single extraction method for the detection of aflatoxins and fumonisins in corn and grain. The Afla-V® AQUA™ and Fumo-V® AQUA™ provide quantitative results in only five-minutes (after extraction/sample prep). The simple, one-step, water-based process eliminates solvent use completely. Extraction is performed using a simple, environmentally safe solution which requires no special handling, mixing or blending.
Traditional testing methods often require individual extraction procedures for each toxin, some requiring the use of costly chemicals such as methanol, a chemical solvent which requires special storage and handling. In addition, specialized shipping often adds to the expense and complexity of on-site mycotoxin detection. In contrast, the Afla-V® AQUA™ and Fumo –V® AQUA™ tests can be run on the same sample extract, reducing time, effort and consumables cost.
“Afla-V® AQUA™ and Fumo-V® AQUA™ are designed to make mycotoxin monitoring more accessible by enabling early detection and quantitation while also eliminating the dependence on chemicals that may be difficult to obtain, store and use in a safe manner,” said Marjorie Radlo-Zandi, Managing Director, VICAM. “All this is accomplished while delivering a performance that meets quality and regulatory standards that safeguard food and feed products worldwide.”
Aflatoxins are naturally occurring chemical byproducts of mold species, which are natural inhabitants of crop soils. Severe rain and drought can encourage aflatoxin production, and once released, aflatoxin and other mycotoxins are difficult to manage and nearly impossible to destroy. Aflatoxin B1 is classified as a Group I carcinogen and is highly toxic even at very low concentrations. The USDA, FDA, EU, and other international government agencies impose specific regulations and guidelines for acceptable levels of mycotoxins. Producers and exporters use on-site and laboratory testing to ensure regulatory compliance and to protect human and animal health from illnesses associated with mycotoxins, including cancer and feed refusal in animals.
Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the fungus Fusarium moniliforme. F. moniliforme is a frequent, almost universal, inhabitant of corn. Fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 are present in most corn samples tested, often totaling greater than 1 ppm. Fumonisin is thought to cause equine leukoencephalomalacia in horses, swine pulmonary edema, and human esophageal cancer. The FDA/USDA Working Group on Fumonisin advises less than 4 ppm for products for human consumption, less than 5 mg/kg in horse feed, less than 10 mg/kg for swine feed, and less than 50 mg/kg for cattle feed.

Here’s a call to worship written during the COVID-19 pandemic. It comes from Ann Harbridge, Minister at Trinity Centennial United Church in Rosemont, Ontario, Canada.
Prayer of Approach
(inspired by Luke 24:13-35)
O God, you come to us in unexpected places
In isolation, behind closed doors
On dusty roads, as we go from place to place
In video chats with friends and telephone conversations with loved ones.
You come bringing us peace, where there is no peace
You come bringing us hope when everything seems hopeless
You come bringing us courage when we are afraid.
Come and be among us now, in every place where we are.
Open our eyes to see you, open our hearts to know you.
In the name of the Risen Christ we pray. Amen
~ submitted by Ann Harbridge, DLM, Minister at Trinity Centennial United Church in Rosemont, Ontario.


"If you build it, they will come."
That was the signature line from the baseball epic "Field of Dreams," which, if nothing else, proved it was easier to attract ghosts to a cornfield in the middle of Iowa than it was to attract live fans to downtown Newark.
So today's signature line at the city's Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium was somehow sadly inevitable.
"If you liquidate it, they will come."
So as Newark Bears owner Doug Spiel stood at the front of a crowd watching an auctioneer rattle off bid numbers to sell everything, he could be excused for thinking if this many people came to games, he’d still be in business.
But they didn’t and he’s not.
"At one point we gave away 1,000 tickets and only a few people showed up,” he said.
The field at the stadium is game ready. The outfield grass today was neatly trimmed in decorative semicircles, the infield manicured and the red clay basepaths were intact.
But there will be no baseball at the 6,200-seat stadium for the foreseeable future. The minor league ball park, which cost $30 million to build and was seen as a cornerstone of Newark’s downtown revival, does not have a team. The Newark Bears are out of business, as in “everything must go.”
So today they came. Fans, memorabilia collectors, restaurant owners, landscapers. Word had it a city official from Rockland, N.Y., was there to bid on the team bus.
And some were there to mourn.
"It's like going to a wake, like saying goodbye to an old friend," said Dave Sosidka, a teacher at North Hunterdon High School. Sosidka lives in Clinton but brought his two sons to Newark to see the Bears two or three times a year.
“It was always a lot of fun,” he said. “The first time we came I was picked to run on the field in a Ragu spaghetti sauce costume in one those on-field promotions. We brought our dog for ‘Bark at the Park’ night.”
Sosidka said he probably wasn’t going to buy anything at the auction, “I just want to walk around and go to parts of the park I’ve never been before.”
Before the auction, people walked through the locker rooms and clubhouse, where whirlpools, massage tables, exercise equipment and training supplies were for sale, right down to a gross of adhesive athletic tape.
In the concession areas, people checked out freezers, ice machines, convection ovens, grills, and pretzel and sausage display cases.
Rob Lynch, who owns Kilkenny Alehouse in Newark, said new restaurant equipment “costs a fortune and doesn’t hold its value. So I’ll see what falls into my lap.”
Some were there to collect memorabilia.
The day began with auctioneer Bill Barron selling game jerseys, home and away.
Web Adams of Bloomfield snagged four, for $30 total. He was a regular fan for years, attending every day game, sometimes bringing his nephews.
“I hate to see them go out of business,” he said. “But I got these as gifts for my nephews.”
EMBRACING THE GAME
In the halls of the executive offices and in the luxury suites and press box are historic photos of the Newark Eagles, a Negro League team, where Hall of Famers Larry Doby and Monte Irvin once played. The team won the 1946 Negro League World Series. There are also photos of the original Newark Bears, a minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees.
The storied history of both clubs made people optimistic that Newark would embrace the game again.
In the first few seasons under the ownership of former Yankees catcher Rick Cerone, it looked like the team might succeed.
“I always thought if people bothered to come and see the fun we had and the product we put on the field, they would always come back,” said Steve Boland, the Bears’ public address announcer from 2001to 2007. “Unfortunately, that’s not what happened.”
Today, the historic pictures and other framed memorabilia all had auction numbers taped to them. One was a Star-Ledger page one of a special stadium edition from Friday, July 16, 1999.
A purple banner said “Welcome Back, Bears.” A column by longtime sports columnist Jerry Izenberg spoke to the history of baseball here under this headline: “A Great Ball Town Can Reawaken.”
And now the modern history is the same as the old history. Baseball is once again gone.


Artists…Yes Publicity Is Essential: How You Gonna Have Ice with Your Water Off?
Hi, Welcome to this week’s Blonde Intelligence with me, Ms. Roni, where I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. This week I want to touch on the value of publicity. Recently I spoke with magazine owner and he made a statement that I found interesting. He said it is amazing how some of these artists portray like they have all this money, but won’t do what it takes for publicity. I laughed because he is right. Artist will pay to put a project together, but think it’s so good that no work goes into making some noise about their personality as an artist. Sometimes it’s not the project itself, it’s how interesting, funny, crazy, mean, or asinine the actual artist is. The music business is so saturated with music that your public personality should create publicity. If you could hear me, I would be making the Scooby Doo sound…..eeerrrahhh…
According to www.study.com, publicity is often misconstrued with two other forms of mass communication: advertising and marketing. Publicity provides news or information in the media to create a perception. According to www.balancesmb.com, publicity is the process of creating public awareness of what you do, what you got to sell, or anything about your brand through media coverage and other forms of communication. Publicity is in your bio, active posting on social media, articles wrote about you, interviews that you do, or anything released to media outlets about you. This is what creates interest in you as a person that leads to interest in your craft. One artist that does a great job at publicity is Plies. From the publicity he provides through his posts, Instagram lives, and music videos he has created a persona that he would fun to hang out with. This leads to wanting to hear more music, see more videos, and see what he does next. Artists…yes publicity is essential. How you gonna have ice on your wrists, around your neck, or in your grill with your water off?

Donald Trump‘s tiny knuckles must have been white this entire meeting!
On Friday, revealed Donald was to meet with the “top editors and digital directors” of Cond├â┬⌐ Nast at their World Trade Center offices around 10 a.m. on Friday — and according to Politico that includes nemesis Graydon Carter.
To make matters even more crazy, Trump claims Anna Wintour instigated the entire event!
We still aren’t sure why the Vogue editor arranged the meeting, but a peace summit that includes Vanity Fair editor Carter (who originated the “short-fingered vulgarian” insult in the 80s, btw) had to have been AWKARD CITY!
As we previously reported, Drumpf FLIPPED OUT on Graydon after his mag published a scathing review of Trump Grill. The president-elect tweeted insult after insult about VF‘s supposed bad numbers… a claim which was debunked a day later.
Now it looks like Wintour has finally succeeded at getting the pair together, though it’s unclear exactly WHY. We’re also unsure as to why she feels the need to repeatedly show up at Trump Tower for little chats and to mend fences — unless she’s angling to be Trump’s unofficial therapist for the new four years.
Ch-ch-check out the failed mogul’s tweet announcing the meeting (below)!
Anna Wintour came to my office at Trump Tower to ask me to meet with the editors of Conde Nast & Steven Newhouse, a friend. Will go this AM.
├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017
Very inneresting! While it’s unclear how the meeting went or if it even occurred, we hope it went well. Or do we?
So, what do YOU make of this supposed meeting?

07 Nov Stress Awareness
Image Credit: ALON; Worried!
Stress is an increasingly common mental health problem that affects individuals both inside and outside of the workplace. Stress seems to be overlooked as it’s now an integral part of our day-to-day lives, but many are unaware of the long-term implications that stress can have on the body and mind. It’s therefore essential that individuals take effort to identify their own causes and triggers of stress before finding ways in which they can be managed.
Generally, stress can be described as the body’s response to the demands and extensive pressure put on our lives and bodies. This can be caused by anything from succumbing to large amounts of pressure to not having enough activities or change in your life – with signs of stress ranging from feelings of anxiety and aggression to a lack of interest in daily life. In an age that embraces the advancement of technology and seeks to develop more ways of living a largely digital-based life, many believe that the ‘good’ side of the internet makes us smarter – but what about the bad side? Fake news on social media, being bullied online and exposing our eyes to the glare from screens on a daily basis are proving to have negative effects on our mental and physical health – ultimately causing stress.
In response to this, the International Stress Management Association (ISMA) run a Stress Awareness Day each year to raise awareness of stress and its impacts whilst reducing the stigma surrounding it. They also aim to promote the importance of wellbeing and stress reduction for individuals and organisations. This year, ISMA have specifically chosen to focus on the theme ‘Does Hi-Tech cause Hi-Stress?’, which looks at the effects that computers and the internet are having on our health.
In order to action this, ISMA have set up a programme of events that individuals and workplaces can get involved in, including international online seminars, interactive conversations, social media events and access to expert advice.
Employers are encouraged to get involved, with the aim to reduce stress and regulate wellbeing in their workplace. Mind, the mental health charity, is asking employers to create a ‘Stress Awareness Space’ in their office in which workers can talk about their triggers of stress and ways in which they manage them. Sharing this kind of information can help others to gain new ideas of stress management whilst also putting their own triggers into perspective.
Stress awareness training courses are also available to workplaces, as well as booklets containing information about stress management – as created by the Mind charity. These are great ways to inform employees about ways in which they can reduce their daily stress levels to improve their quality of life both in and outside of the workplace.
A build-up of stress can lead to fatigue and lack of motivation. A simple way of reducing stress in the workplace is to incorporate fun games for employees to enjoy, such as table tennis – or alternatively, organising a fun day out. It’s also a good idea to create an area in which employees can sit in silence to unwind or meditate – this can be as simple as a comfy chair in a quiet room with some relaxing books.
To discuss how you can reduce stress in your workplace, please do get in touch with us via email [email protected] or call 01386 751740.

Teen critically injured after being pushed into traffic in Hemet
A 15-year-old boy was seriously injured Monday after he was pushed into traffic and struck by a car in Hemet, authorities said.
Police and paramedics responded around 4:45 p.m. to reports that a juvenile was hurt after being hit by car near Stetson Avenue and Seven Hills Drive, according to the Hemet Police Department.
The boy, who was identified only as being 15 years old, was riding a skateboard east on Stetson, near the intersection, when a group of youths confronted him, police said in a news release.
A brief altercation took place, and the boy was thrust into the roadway, police said. A white Tesla was traveling east on Stetson at the same time and struck the teen.
The boy was taken to an area hospital, where he was listed in critical condition “but thankfully expected to survive,” police said in a statement.
Officers contacted the injured teen’s family, and the area high school he attends was also notified.
After the incident, police said the group of young people fled. Detectives are now working to identify them and “their exact involvement in this seemingly senseless incident,” according to the release.
The young man’s skateboard was not found at the scene, police said.
The Tesla driver, identified only as a 52-year-old man, stopped after the collision and is cooperating with investigators, officials said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Gabe Gomez at (951) 765-2396 or email@example.com.

India is the land of Ayurveda and its twin, the Yoga. One of the oldest civilizations of the world, India is a spiritual seeker’s perfect answer to embark on a soulful journey. The concept of Yoga is not just limited to the physical health. It is one of the earliest forms of holistic healing where the human mind and the body are tuned to work in harmony.
Yoga evolved in this country around the 6th century BCE and the tradition has been kept alive by spiritual teachers and gurus. Looking out to understand the larger meaning of your life and achieve contentment? Then India and its amazing yoga centric place hold the answer to your quest. Rishikesh, considered to be the world capital of Yoga is in the state of Uttarakhand and it is where your spiritual answer lies.
Situated on the banks of River Ganga, this place is a holy place with its horizon filled with Hindu temples, the Lakshman Jhula and many ashrams where yoga and meditation are preached and practiced daily. Some of the other recommended yoga centers and places of interest are Dharamshala, Pune, Mumbai, Coonor, Bangalore, Kerala and Tamil Nadu where several popular yoga retreats have been built and are popular across the world for enabling people to seek answers beyond their physical being.
These places offer a calm and peaceful ambience to visitors so that tired souls can revitalize themselves, achieve inner peace and relax their mind and body to get back to the daily grind again with rejuvenated spirits and changed outlook. Most of these yoga centers work on a non-profit basis charging visitor nominally while they also do not stick to any religious thoughts or ideas, opening their gates to all travelers with equal anticipation and joy. Delve deep into various meditation techniques and yoga postures at these places to create the perfect balance of the mind and the body.

The creation of objects—where the practical considerations of use is of crucial importance—is essential. Leaving a legacy with your life is vital. We all want to leave our mark on this world, to know that our life mattered. When you reach for your goals, you make critical decisions that determine how you will show up in the world each day. You build your future by leaving a path of sweet surrender for others to know you were here.
A little bird sat on my front porch this past week. I opened the front door slowly. He didn’t move. I stepped toward him. Still no movement. I kneeled beside him and touched his head with one finger. He waddled around, and I saw the problem. His left eye was swollen.
I jumped up and flew into action. I had a decorative bird cage in the garage, which I was sure would be a lovely home while I nursed him back to health. I grabbed last week’s newspaper and folded it until the size fit the bottom of the bird cage with just a little edge all the way around—to hold in any droppings. In my mind I was already wondering how to treat him and imagining I would use a Q-tip to apply the healing ointment prescribed by Google.
I went back out to the porch and my little birdie was still there. He needed me. I picked him up and headed toward the door to go inside. He wiggled against my caring grip. I didn’t want to hurt him, so I didn’t squeeze. He flew from my hands leaving a wake a little feathers behind and me standing speechless at that fleeting moment.
Many years ago, crayons and play dough kept my son’s toddler mind and fingers busy while learning. “Look what I made!” Those words always made me smile. The early school years kept the refrigerator covered with construction-paper art—flags and the letters of the alphabet shaped with pasta. It was a proud display for all to see.
As he grew, so did his art. Intricate pencil images decorated his bedroom walls. He dabbled in different mediums. He moved on to creating phenomenal videos for his high school. Always creating with his mind and his hands.
Fast forward. One year of college under his belt. He needed to do something more, something bigger. He decided to become a Marine. While waiting for the day he will get on that bus to go to boot camp, he has been working hard making beautiful things. He resurfaced and stained the back porch and deck. It was a lot of hard work. No project has been too big for him.
We decided it was time for that patio we always wanted, and he was eager to help. The design for the three different shapes of stone was created with his mind and his hands. A stone path leads from our house to the patio he built. In the middle of the path, the stones came together to make a butterfly shape. My husband and I will sit on the patio and watch the sun set.
It took several days of tilling, digging, shoveling, tamping, leveling, checking, spacing, and placing. It brought us all together, and forced us to communicate to complete this project. It took a lot of imagination, following instructions, and technical skill. It is a gift of art that will comfort us at the end of the day.
“Come over here,” he said to me late one evening as we put the finishing touches on our new oasis, which included a stone fire pit and nearby water feature.
“Just come here.”
I walked to where he was shoveling the last of the dirt mound into the back of the truck. The sun was setting, the air cooler. The grass already wet with dew tickled my toes.
“Look at it from right here.”
I looked at the whole project from his perspective. I saw the future. It was beautiful and full of more projects.
We finally leaned back in the Adirondack chairs exhausted from the week behind us. Butterflies flew around the butterfly bushes and a light breeze twirled a red, white, and blue pinwheel.
I remembered holding his hand when he was a little boy. He always pulled it away. So independent.
He will fly away from this place in about a month, but his life will leave a feathering of memories all around me. I may very well stand speechless at the fleeting moment when it happens.
He will move on to his next project that will be on a much larger canvas—transforming himself. Boot camp will be hard. He will grow and become stronger. He will learn new things. I expect to be impressed when he presents himself to the service of his country.
Each of us can make a difference in the lives of others. Even an ordinary life lived well and lived with grace will make the world a better place.
Everyone must leave something behind...a child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way...and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there. Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

In recent years, website blocking has become one of the most widely-used anti-piracy enforcement mechanisms in the world.
ISPs in several dozen countries prevent subscribers from accessing a variety of ‘pirate’ sites, either through court processes or as part of government-backed administrative blocking regimes.
Europe has been at the forefront of this blocking wave. The first case was launched in Denmark and dates back to 2006. In the years since, similar measures were taken in other EU countries, with the ultimate approval of the European Union’s highest court.
Research on the effectiveness of site-blocking interventions is scarce but the overall indication is that while the measures are far from perfect, they’re effective nonetheless. They are particularly effective at stopping casual pirates when multiple sites are blocked simultaneously.
European Commission Flags Foreign Countries
The European Commission is also convinced that this enforcement tool can make a…


I spent much of the past week attending the Hot Docs Podcast Festival in the great city of Toronto, and I brought back a scattered collection of notes and observations on Canadian podcasting that I’m ill-equipped at the moment to string together into some unified clarifying narrative. But I’ll share what I have in the form of scattered notes and collection because there are some ideas to stew over and, all things considered, I really liked what I saw.
(1) “The Canadian podcast industry here is a few years behind the US.” I heard this idea, and many variations thereof, quite a bit over the past week, and I almost always squirm when I hear it. Sure, I can see the data points and logical route supporting the notion, particularly when the analysis revolves around the subject of money and business creation. But I’m reticent to accept the statement in the way it’s phrased: somewhere in the back of my head, I hold out hope that different countries can, and should, go down their own paths towards ecosystem development — that the Canadian podcast industry isn’t behind anybody, that it’s just early in their own trajectory. (On an unrelated note: I’d be a great soccer dad.)
I was consistently told Canadian podcast advertising remained nascent, still negligible in volume and experimental in budgets, and that there has yet to be clear pathways for upstart podcast companies in the country to reliably progress from idea to operational sustainability (let alone exits). Occasionally, I’d try to rebut the claim by saying the pathways in the US aren’t super clear either, particularly if you’re an independent. The invariable reply from the interlocutor: if I had the choice, I’d still prefer the upsides of the US — more money, more jobs, more potential outcomes.
(2) Some contextual numbers to set the scene. As always, Edison Research has our backs in this department: their Infinite Dial Canada 2018 report, published earlier this year, found that 61% of Canadians over the age of 18 are familiar with the term “podcasting,” and that 28% of that demographic report having listened to a podcast within the past month.
I know I just burbled something about non-comparisons, but in case you need a yardstick: the Infinite Dial US found that 64% of Americans over 12 report being aware of the term “podcasting,” while 26% of the demographic having listened to a podcast within the past month.
Cross-national comparisons with the US is tricky, of course, in large part due to the intense differences in population sizes and geographical dynamics. Canada has about 36.7 million people, which is slightly below the population of California. To put things some perspective: America, as a whole, has about 325.7 million people, and if you do the rough math, the number of monthly American podcast listeners is about twice the population of Canada. That has implications about the way you could think about advertising returns.
(3) Here’s a cliche about travel: sometimes you need to leave in order to see where you’re from clearly. (A curious device to apply to myself, a newly-minted American immigrant, but applicable nonetheless.) It’s true for podcast stuff as it is for anything else: poking around the Canadian scene made me appreciate the extent to which conversations in the US have been dominated by the podcast-as-IP boom, the increasing involvement of talent agencies, and the venture capital-backed shadow of Gimlet Media. Also: capitalism and anxiety.
Some things, though, are familiar on both sides of the border. One expression of this: the perceived podcast dominance of public radio in both the US and Canada. On the first day of the festival, I moderated a panel with the CBC’s head of podcasts Leslie Merklinger and NPR’s deputy director of programming and new audience N’Jeri Eaton, and there was a query during the Q&A that felt familiar to me. I can’t remember the wording, exactly, but it was something along the lines of: “Do you feel like the CBC’s dominance limits the ability of private podcasters to grow?” The sentiment echoes many emails I’ve received over the years from American readers about NPR, WNYC, and the wider American public radio system.
The perception is perhaps understandable: the CBC, Canada’s public broadcaster and its biggest institutional podcast publisher, is said to bring in around 16 million global podcast downloads per month across a 40+ show-strong portfolio that includes broadcast repackages and original podcast content. In the States, NPR garners around 16 million unique monthly listeners in the US and over 140 million global downloads across a 41 show-strong portfolio. They look big, they feel big, and when you feel like a tugboat around tankers, the natural position to interpret threat.
But of course, life in a tanker is generally harder than you would think. Something that came across from both Merklinger and Eaton during the panel: despite the perception that the CBC and NPR are powerful and all-consuming in their respective countries, both individuals lead development funnels with budgets that are tighter than you would ordinarily imagine. Another cliche: people often look like they’re doing better than they actually are on the outside.
Does the dominance of a podcast-publishing public broadcaster generally inhibit the ability of private podcasters to grow? I tend to reject this notion. That would dominance is an actual thing in the podcast industry, and there’s been little evidence to suggest that at all.
(4) Another similarity of note: it’s always worth paying attention to individuals taking matters in their own hands. There was a panel that caught my eye featuring Vicky Mochama, co-founder of the independent podcast shop Vocal Fry Studios; Annalise Nielsen, a producer who’s trying to start an in-house podcast network at a large publicly-traded Canadian media and entertainment company called eOne; and Ryan McMahon, an Anishinaabe comedian, writer, podcaster, and proprietor of Indian & Cowboy, a listener-supported Indigenous podcast network.
Of particular interest from the discussion was a focus on non-advertising revenue streams, which significantly touched on branded podcasts — a trail well-blazed in the country by Pacific Content, and taken up by Mochama — and crowdfunding, which proved central to the development of a new investigative podcast by McMahon in partnership with CANADALAND, called Thunder Bay. The Ryerson Review of Journalism has a solid write-up on CANADALAND’s crowdfunding effort to raise taht production, which you should check out. The podcast, as well, is very good.
(5) The Hot Docs Podcast Festival is currently in its third year of operation, though the whole thing feels like it’s been around for much longer. The festival was well-executed, thoughtfully composed, and frankly one of the best podcast events I’ve ever attended. This probably has a lot to do with the fact it’s actually a spinoff of the quarter century-old Hot Docs international documentary film festival (no relation to Hot Pod, by the way); which is to say, they’re old hands at putting stuff like this together. But something has to be said about the organization’s general level of care in handling a new community: it’s a rare team that displays awareness and respect for a world not of their own. I’ll be glad to go back.
(6) Miscellaneous Notes:
- Scribbled in my notepad: “Is there a moral argument for programmatic advertising?” Can’t quite remember when I wrote that, or the context of it. But interesting question, I guess?
- Another scribble: “there’s a palpable ongoing tension between wanting to build your own thing and wanting to sell that thing off to another organization.”
- From the panel featuring the New York Times’ Lisa Tobin: the windowing experiment with Caliphate was considered a “successful early experiment.”
- The Thirst Aid Kit live show was the most fun I’ve had in a very long time. I don’t know what BuzzFeed plans to do with the show given the company’s podcasting wind-down, but somebody should really pick it up.
- Toronto is probably my favorite city in the world right now. I mean, it’s no Long Island City or Arlington, but still. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

We have over 300 modular residence flooring plans to select from with an infinite variety of prospects and costs to fit any budget. Ultimately we never construct two modular properties alike. If you’ve gotten a custom modular house flooring plan in mind or simply some drawings convey these in and we will build a modular dwelling to your specs. If you could have chosen a modular home ground plan from another modular dwelling builder we might like to do a worth and high quality comparison for you.
There are many components to contemplate on the subject of your seating plans. As talked about previously, regardless of how hard you attempt, no matter your decisions may be, you can’t please everyone. The above ideas are merely solutions so do not stress out. If you seat individuals the place you assume they are going to be most comfy, then you’ve got done your job. It can be up to your visitors to have a good time.
For so a few years the big household residence has been the bottom for them and their kids, a house crammed with loving enjoyable and fixed actions. But now they’ve all gone to begin their very own new lives, and the children’s bedrooms, loos, their playrooms, work rooms and the 2 or more family dwelling areas have out of the blue turn into redundant and ineffective. The larger home, that was stuffed with noise and constant chatter now stands quiet and empty.
A 3D flooring plan will be defined as a virtual model of a constructing ground plan. It’s typically used to raised convey architectural plans to individuals not accustomed to ground plans. Despite the aim of ground plans originally being to depict 3D layouts in a 2D manner, technological growth has made rendering 3D models much more cost effective. 3D plans present a greater depth of picture and are sometimes complimented by 3D furniture in the room. This permits a greater appreciation of scale than with traditional 2D ground plans.
Your home design are really lovely and the one which i actually like and love it is your attic house. My Family is planning to construct the home and i really like your attic home design is it possible which you can ship me the copy of home plan…here is my e mail add. jienkhie_viana@. and also the estimated value for rough aand end..Thank you very a lot…!

Effect of antitranspirants on rice (Oryza sativa) grown under submerged and water stressed condition in an inceptisol of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
Author(s): R. PATEL, P. RAHA, SRI LAXMI AND A. PAUL
A pot experiment was carried out to determine the impact of application of antitranspirants, viz. Kaolin and Green Miracleon growth, yield and nutrient content of rice (HUR-105) under both submerged and water-stressed condition grown in an Inceptisol of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The Kaolin (0%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) and Green Miracle (0.0%, 0.15%, 0.3%, and 0.6%) water suspension / solution respectively, were sprayed twice viz.during vegetative-stage and panicle initiation stage. The plant parameters including plant height, number of leaves, tillers numberwere taken at tillering, panicle initiation and grain filling stages. The nutrient concentration including N, P, K and S in grain and straw were analyzed. Results indicated that antitranspirants treatments have positive effect on the plant growth parameters and dry matter production of rice. Plants treated with long chain fatty alcohol (Green Miracle) and kaolinite (Kaolin) produced higher i.e. 6.7% to 19.3% dry matter than untreated (control) plants.

I saw it, late at night
The moon arched lonely in the sky: a star-less night
The trees bowed to me as the wind nudged them around
Cold shivers ran down my spine.
I saw it, in the dusk of the night
Its face glowed with hunger
Its eyes burned with fire
Raggedy black hairs ran down its shoulders
Beards bushier and thicker than suburb twines.
I saw it, in the thick of the night
Whatever took that humanoid form wasn’t human
A homunculus maybe
But it felt real, radiating body heat as mine
But claws and fangs bared in an attacking position.
I saw it, dark reflections of the night
I stood in front of the window frame
The Luna rays showed me myself in front of a mirror
Human or not human, i asked myself.
I saw, in the dark, my dark side
The monster yearning to get loose
Behind the wall of my mind, I am it
Because I saw it
Because I saw me.

As Edge devices proliferate and the needs of the AppSRE and admin teams grow to accommodate these devices, new challenges arise with gaining visibility into the health of these environments. As the scale grows, so does the complexity of the job to administer and view holistically from data center to the edge.
First, let's start with a bit of table-setting
With Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) version 2.4 and later, Red Hat provides centralized observability of the fleet, which is primarily focused on displaying cluster health metrics that can readily describe control plane health, cluster optimization, and cluster utilization. For example, admins can see API latency across the fleet and compare clusters for CPU/memory under utilization.
In addition, alerts are configured for centralized management, ensuring that responders are engaged directly in the tools they are expecting, such as Slack and PagerDuty. Specific alert rules can be put in place to ensure only critical alerts fire into appropriate channels.
These capabilities provide the starting point for your Observability experience in RHACM, and while the starting point is robust and feature-full, many customers have asked for the ability to build their own dashboards (we provided), customize the
allowList for cluster metrics (we provided), and expose Service Level Objective (we provided). We would be remiss to mention that the capabilities also extend to OpenShift 3.11 and OCP 4.x, along with Amazon EKS, Google Cloud GKE, Microsoft Azure AKS and IBM Cloud IKS.
We didn't want to stop there
Customers are moving workloads closer to their users, and taking advantage of edge computing to enrich their customers' experiences, and drive higher satisfaction. Our customers also started to narrow in on a specific use case that involved the need to monitor a single node OpenShift (SNO) cluster that was driving a highly specialized container workload, and desired to do all of that with one single monitoring instance. See Meet single node OpenShift for more information.
Edge devices are generally resource constrained and do not have the same access to elastic compute and memory resources that might be available, for example, in the public or private cloud model. With that in mind, customers do not want to sacrifice any additional compute and memory towards the infrastructure operators running within the cluster. We now offer the ability to surface both the platform and user workload metrics with one monitoring stack.
Taking note of this requirement, RHACM and OpenShift Monitoring worked together to ensure our customers have the ability to monitor their workload on single node OpenShift by leveraging the on-cluster Prometheus, and a ServiceMonitor to push the necessary workload metrics through the platform. Admins and developers can take advantage of the custom allow list to centrally collect this metric at the hub, leverage PromQL to explore the metric, and even make use of a sandbox Grafana environment to build custom visualizations.
But wait, there's more!
Starting with the release of RHACM 2.5, the following features were introduced to further enrich the edge observability experience:
Dynamic metrics for SNO clusters: Dynamic metrics collection supports automatic metric collection based on certain conditions. By default, a SNO cluster does not collect pod and container resource metrics. Once a SNO cluster reaches a specific level of resource consumption, the defined granular metrics are collected dynamically. When the cluster resource consumption is consistently less than the threshold for a period of time, granular metric collection stops.
Export metrics to external endpoints: Export monitoring metrics into existing corporate monitoring tools. By exporting Kubernetes cluster metrics from RHACM into streaming platforms like Kafka, and combining them with other system metrics such as event management logs, audit logs, and SNMP logs, customers get a complete picture for security and troubleshooting applications.
Arm (ARM, aarch64, Advanced RISC Machines) support: Did we mention you can do it all for Arm64 managed clusters, too? Even the hub is capable of running on Arm, further enabling the management reach into lower power and lower cost consumption models.
As we continue to iterate on these features and fine tune the capacity and scale aspects, expect us to deliver enriched capabilities that help admins and developers to establish "right sized" requests and limits for their applications, further ensuring that edge workloads only use what they need in these ever more constrained environments. Monitoring for Hosted Control Planes (HyperShift) and additional deliverables in User Workload Monitoring will help you and your teams successfully observe and manage the platforms, and applications, in your growing estate of clusters.

BEDSORES – TREATMENT
The best treatment outcomes will result from using a multidisciplinary team of specialists, to ensure all problems are addressed. Units specializing in wound care like Savelegs Diabetic Foot & Wound Care Centre, are able to give better results when compared to other units.
There are six major contributors to healing.
The most important care is the relief of pressure. Once a bed sore is found, pressure should immediately be removed from the area and the patient turned at least every two hours to avoid aggravating the wound and preventing the development of newer wounds. Ensuring dry sheets regular changes of linen alongwith the use of catheters or impermeable dressings.
For paralyzed individuals, pressure shifting on a regular basis and use of a pressure relief sheet like a silicone gel sheet,can help prevent pressure wounds.
Pressure-distributive mattresses, water mattresses & Air mattresses are used to reduce high values of pressure on prominent or bony areas of the body.
Removal of dead/necrotic tissue is an absolute must in the treatment of pressure ulcers. Dead tissue is an ideal medium for infection and greatly reduces wound healing and the ability of the body to repair itself. Various methods are used to remove such tissue
Autolytic Debridement – the use of moist dressings to promote autolysis with the body’s own enzymes- Though slow it is painless
Maggots – In some countries maggots are used for the purpose but not yet available in India.
Enzymatic Debridement – The use of certain enzymes to promote removal of dead tissue.
Surgical Debridement – The removal of such tissue by surgical means
Mechanical Debridement – The use of mechanical means like pressure water jets to remove the tissue.
Ultrasonic Debridement – The use of ultrasound waves to remove dead tissue.
These modalities may be used individually or in various combinations as the wound progresses.
Local as well as systemic infection needs to be controlled. This may involve the use of antibiotics for systemic control and the use of local wound dressings to remove infection locally. The advent of newer dressings like ionic silver has been a breakthrough in this regard.
Once the systemic signs settle, usually the use of oral and parenteral antibiotics is avoided.
The best diet to support healing is prescribed to such patients, as a malnourished person does not have the ability to synthesize enough protein to repair tissue.Protein levels, leucocyte counts, thyroid profiles and other blood tests may be conducted ,if malnourishment is suspected.
Based on these or clinical exams, the physician may start dietary supplements and various nutrients including parenteral supplements depending upon the condition of the patient.
There is anecdotal evidence that high protein diet helps healing of sores.
Educating the caregiver & Psychological Counselling
If the patient is to be shifted to the house, it is very important to educate the family about how to treat the pressure ulcers. The caregiver should be trained in the proper way to turn the patient, how to properly dress the wound & nourish the patient. If possible a system of online access using technology or domiciliary visits by a trained member of the team should be in place, so that the difficulty experienced by the caregivers in bringing the patient to hospital can be avoided.
Given that these are chronic problems which cause a emotional, financial and mental drain on the family and caregivers, a program of psychological counseling and guidance for them should be adhered to..
Once the patient has reached the point that intervention is possible, there are many different options.
For Stage I & II sores, usually just removal of pressure and wound care using accepted guidelines in usually enough.
For Stage III & IV ulcers, the use of tissue flaps or other closure methods used to be the treatment of choice. However with the advent of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, advanced dressing materials and various pressure reducing beds and devices, it may now be possible to close such wounds without major surgical intervention.
These patients need regular evaluation to determine future course of action.
