After Milwaukee had just 5 voting sites in April election, officials recruiting more poll workers so it won't happen in November
Milwaukee election officials hope to be able to open all 180 polling sites in November's presidential election — if conditions with the coronavirus pandemic allow.
A second surge in coronavirus cases and a level of public fear that drives people away from working the polls — as happened in the April 7 election — would seriously hamper that effort, outgoing Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Neil Albrecht told members of the Common Council on Monday.
Unlike the April 7 election, when the city was losing election workers by the day, Albrecht said, the city has more time ahead of the November election to recruit people to work the polls. He's optimistic that will put the city in a better position.
"The contingency plan is we may need to consolidate sites again, but ... certainly nothing close to five" election centers, which the city experienced in April, he said.
Those five centers, down from its usual 180 voting sites, forced residents to stand in line for hours in the midst of the pandemic to cast their ballots.
After the election, some members of the Common Council said they wanted answers about why the city had cut its voting sites so drastically and why absentee ballots did not reach voters or did not reach them in time for the election.
Common Council members got the chance to ask those questions during Monday's Judiciary and Legislation Committee meeting, though no representative of the U.S. Postal Service was present to provide answers.
Committee members also approved a measure to inform residents across the city on ways to register to vote and request an absentee ballot in upcoming elections in addition to Mayor Tom Barrett's appointment of Claire Woodall-Vogg to succeed Albrecht.
The measures will go before the full Common Council at its next meeting on June 16.
About 18,800 people voted in-person in Milwaukee on election day and about 76,360 absentee ballots were counted in April's election, which included contests for Milwaukee County executive and Milwaukee mayor and a host of other local races, in addition to state Supreme Court.
Albrecht said his office contacted the U.S. Postal Service to understand why voters were experiencing significant delays, sometimes seven to 10 days, from the time they requested a ballot to the time they received the ballots.
There was also a glitch in the statewide voter registration database that municipalities use to process absentee ballot requests, he said. That malfunction made it appear that about 2,700 people in Milwaukee that had requested absentee ballots had been sent a ballot.
He said the state determined that a municipality could not have known that error occurred.
"If there is any silver lining into this aspect of a system failure it is that about 1,700 of those individuals were either re-issued ballots and returned those ballots or voted at drive-up, early voting or voted at their election site on election day," Albrecht said.
That still means that a system error in the state database contributed to about 1,000 people not being able to vote in that election, he said.
Albrecht said his office is also aware of voters in the city receiving ballots for the incorrect ward.
"We are looking at how we can expand on our own quality control systems to prevent that kind of human error with regard to the assembling of absentee ballots," he said. "That was most certainly an error that occurred within the Election Commission and I would take full responsibility for that."
Albrecht also reiterated the challenges associated with maintaining election staffing as the pandemic drove people into their homes for fear of becoming infected, saying keeping staff was "like holding water in our hands."
There were about 1,400 confirmed election workers with a plan to bring on an additional 600, he said, but at one time the commission had fewer than 300 confirmed workers.
The decision to have five voting centers came from the shortage of election workers, the need to work with the Health Department to protect election workers and voters, and the need to operate the sites in a way that wouldn't compromise the administration of the election, he said.
He also called it "abhorrent" that people had to stand in line for hours to vote during a pandemic, saying, "We were asked to do the impossible, which was to provide safe, in-person voting during a pandemic."
The Election Commission is working on a campaign to recruit younger election workers, based on the assumption that the pandemic will still pose a risk to retired people who have historically worked the polls, he said. They're changing their recruitment strategy to reach out to high school and college students and youth organizations.
Committee OKs Woodall-Vogg as new election commission executive director
The committee also voted in favor of Mayor Tom Barrett's pick to lead the city's Election Commission going forward.
Woodall-Vogg would succeed Albrecht, who announced at the end of last month that he planned to retire after 15 years with the office and eight years at its helm. Albrecht, 58, previously told the Journal Sentinel that he decided to retire now because the period of his appointment is nearing its end.
Woodall-Vogg, who currently serves as the commission’s business systems administrator, said her biggest focus will be on poll worker recruitment with the goal of operating as many early voting and election day polling locations as possible in the August and November elections.
She said it's necessary to use social media to recruit poll workers and to conduct training virtually.
Altered SafeVote plan moves forward
Instead of mailing absentee ballot applications to registered voters, an updated SafeVote program would have the city mail information to households on how to register to vote and request an absentee ballot.
Wisconsin election officials agreed last month to send absentee ballot applications to most voters for the fall election, though that plan could face hurdles. The program at the city would complement that effort and also include a mailing ahead of the August and November elections, according to the city.
Residents would be encouraged to use the myvote.wi.gov website to register to vote and request absentee ballots.
Those who want a physical absentee ballot application, don't have internet access, need assistance with the MyVote website or need help scanning their photo identifications could go to libraries for assistance.
"This is powerful, this is a really unique opportunity" because it will give information to people who aren't yet registered to vote, said Ald. Marina Dimitrijevic, the measure's lead sponsor.
Albrecht said it's necessary to provide residents with community-based resources like the libraries to ensure that people who don't have internet access or the ability to capture an image of their photo IDs are still able to absentee vote by mail, which he called the "safest voting mechanism."
Albrecht said the mailing would cost a maximum of about $264,000. Then there is the cost of more people voting absentee, which can cost several dollars per person, he said.
Funding sources available include federal CARES Act dollars and the potential for grants aimed at preventing COVID-19 from infringing on voting, he said.
He said the goal is for 80% of voters to submit absentee ballots by mail, which he said could cost anywhere from $750,000 to $1 million to shift from in-person voting to voting by mail.

Litecoin price has shown three huge ups and downs over the last 24 hours. However, the coin managed to sustain its price level over this period despite the heavy fluctuations. The LTC price dropped by 0.57% only in this period. It is currently trading above $57. And as per the current movement, breaching a $58 target seems possible anytime soon.
Yesterday, Litecoin opened the day at $57.54, and over the next 13 hours, its value reached the lowest point of the day at $55.76. This 3.09% drop was followed by a hike in the value to the extent of 4.20%. This variation pushed LTC price to touch $58.10 by 16:03 UTC. Litecoin, however, couldn’t maintain its price around $58 for long, and in the next 9 hours, the price got contracted by 1.41% to be placed at $57.28.
LTC Price Prediction
On January 20, the market cap was 3.655 billion USD, and it has been increased to 3.670 billion USD over the last day. Litecoin’s current price at $57.21 is trending above its 50 days MA ($57.16). However, the 20 days MA ($57.23) has managed a lead over the current price.
As per Trade99’s analysts, Litecoin’s immediate future seems bullish, and it may soon breach the next resistance point at $58.11. However, it may not wholly avoid intraday price volatility.

This research investigated the effect of a handling treatment in beef cattle on stress related parameters. Ten 15 months old Limousin beef cattle (crossbreds) were divided in a handling group (HG) and a control group (KG) by pairing animals with similar avoidance distances. The back-region handlings were carried out 10 times for 8 min during 5 weeks before slaughter. Before and after all handling sessions, each animal was tested by an avoidance distance test (AWD). From each carcass, samples of M. longissimus dorsi were analysed for meat quality (cooking loss, shear force and meat colour). Differences between first and second avoidance distance test were greater in HG animals. Avoidance distance got much lower in HG animals than in KG animals. Shear force tended to be lower in meat from HG animals than in CG animals’ meat samples

These are so fun, really inexpensive to make, and will ensure your card gets a second look. I bought a half yard of 10gauge clear vinyl from Fabric.com for $2.81 for a different project, but then got this crazy idea to make sewn biz cards with it.
Supplies: 10 gauge clear vinyl// colorful thread// scissors// sewing machine// printer with ink OR business cardsOptional: Glitter// Tissue Paper (more on that later!)
I made a bunch of different prototypes with PicMonkey.com the free photo editing site that will change your life (and whiten your teeth) once you start editing your photos with it. Photoshop who? It’s FREE.
I added a sprinkle of glitter for added fun but this is optional. If you DO use glitter keep this in mind:
1. Only use chunky glitter- fine glitter or glitter dust will escape from the sewn edges and people don’t like getting glitter on their hands/face/eyes/you get the idea.
2. You’ll want to make sure the shards of glitter are laying flat before the lay the top piece of vinyl on. If not you’ll get little stick-up edges poking up. It won’t affect anything, but if you’re like me they’ll feel weird and drive you nuts.
Okay, here’s the ONLY hard part with this project. The vinyl wants to stick to the machine making it difficult to sew. I found a little more success putting tissue paper underneath it. You could try layering it until it doesn’t stick, but don’t panic if your sewn lines look a little wonky- the card inside isn’t going anywhere and it just adds character 😉
Obviously these wouldn’t be ideal to make hundreds of, but if you’re doing an event where you’ll be passing out cards these are definitely going to be different than the other ones people collect. Have fun with this by doing different color threads, adding sequins… the possibilities are endless.
If you share these images//make this project please make sure you link back to this post. Sharing is caring!

If there’s one thing the members of the Swallowtail WI love as much as cake, it’s cheese! So, imagine how excited we were to welcome the fabulous team from Norton’s Dairy as our speakers at April’s meeting.
The talk that night was given by Teresa Norton, whose family have run Norton’s Dairy since 1946. She gave us a wonderful insight into how the business works and told us all about the star members of the team – their herd of 55 Brown Swiss dairy cows. This isn’t just a way to put food on the table for the Norton family, it’s a true passion – and Teresa joked that her dad considers the cows to be his children too.
It was fascinating to hear how Norton’s Dairy products are made, and heartening to know that the milk, cheese and cream farmed come from blissfully happy cows. Teresa explained about their high-tech milking process allows the cows to wander in and be milked when they fancy it, before wandering off to hang out in lush green fields and laze about. It sounds like quite a life! She also explained how hard the dairy farm works to be sustainable, and what the impact of low milk prices have on a small business like theirs.
After Teresa’s excellent talk, it was time to eat cheese. Accompanied by her boyfriend Will, Teresa had arrived armed with four types of delicious soft cheese for us to taste: the Nortons soft cheese, soft cheese with lavender, soft cheese with apricots and soft cheese with chilli. We also had the opportunity to take their incredible yoghurt, and buy some gorgeous double cream. It didn’t take long for us to get stuck on, and we were delighted that we’d invited our WI advisor Margaret Collingwood along to such a tasty meeting.
The evening was extra special for us as we were able to announce that the Swallowtail WI had been presented with a special award at the recent Norfolk Federation Annual Meeting. We were crowned Best New WI by the Federation, and our president Claire got up on stage to collect our certificate. The news was greeted with delight by our members, which is brilliant as they are what make the Swallowtail WI so special.
Cheese and prizes? What more could you want from a WI night out?

December 2018: Facebook is criticized after a bomb report found that the company allowed more than 150 companies, including Netflix, Spotify and Bing, to access unprecedented amounts of user data, such as private messages.
Some of these & # 39; partners & # 39; They had the ability to read, write, and delete private messages from Facebook users and view all participants on a topic.
It also allowed Microsoft's search engine, known as Bing, to see the names of all Facebook users' friends without their consent.
Amazon was allowed to get usernames and contact information from its friends, and Yahoo could view friend post streams.
Since last year, Sony, Microsoft and Amazon have been able to get users' email addresses from their friends.
September 2018: Facebook reported that it had been hit by the worst data breach ever, affecting 50 million users – including those of Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg.
Attackers exploited the site's "View As" feature, which allows people to see what their profiles look like to other users.
Facebook says it has found no evidence & # 39; so far & # 39; that hackers broke into third-party applications after a data breach exposed 50 million users (image)
Unknown attackers took advantage of a code feature called 'Access Tokens' to control people's accounts, potentially giving hackers access to private messages, photos, and posts – although Facebook said there were no evidences.
Hackers have also attempted to collect people's private information, including name, gender and hometown, on Facebook's systems.
Facebook said it still does not know if the affected account information was misused or accessed, and is working with the FBI to conduct further investigations.
However, Mark Zuckerberg assured users that passwords and credit card information were not accessed.
As a result of the breach, the company disconnected about 90 million people from its accounts earlier today as a security measure.
March 2018: Facebook made headlines earlier this year after data from 87 million users were inaccessibly accessed by Cambridge Analytica, a political consultancy.
The disclosure led to government investigations into the company's privacy practices around the world and fueled a movement of & # 39; # deleteFacebook & # 39; among consumers.
The communications company Cambridge Analytica had offices in London, New York, Washington, as well as Brazil and Malaysia.
The company prides itself on being able to "find its voters and get them into action" through data-driven campaigns and a team that includes data scientists and behavioral psychologists.
"In the United States alone, we have played a key role in winning presidential races as well as congressional and state elections," with data on more than 230 million US voters, says Cambridge Analytica on its website.
The company profited from a feature that meant apps could ask permission to access their own data as well as the data of all their Facebook friends.
The data company suspended its chief executive, Alexander Nix (photo), after recordings emerged from him making a number of controversial claims, including boasting that Cambridge Analytica played a central role in the election of Donald Trump.
That meant the company was able to pull information from 87 million Facebook users, although only 270,000 people gave them permission to do so.
This is designed to help them create software that can predict and influence voter choices at the ballot box.

Dust, grime, and dust reduce solar panels’ efficiency by 60%, blocking sunlight from penetrating the panels.
So, if you want your solar panel system to operate optimally, you should regularly clean them. But how should you clean them?
So, do you need to turn off solar panels to clean? It is crucial to turn off solar panels to clean them as it is among the most important safety precautions for cleaning and maintaining solar panels. Solar panels are a system that produces and stores electricity, which means you should be cautious of being wet around them.
What will you learn from this guide?
- A step-by-step guide on cleaning solar panels
- How often should you clean the panels?
- Benefits of cleaning your solar panels regularly.
- A summary of solar panel cleaning equipment
Let’s get into it.
You might also love reading: Can You Charge a Power Bank With a Solar Panel?
How To Shut Down Solar Panels For Cleaning?
Let’s go through the instructions on shutting down solar panels before cleaning.
- Locate the solar panels’ main switch at the switchboard and switch it off.
- If your solar inverter is located away (more than 3 meters) from the switchboard, locate the solar AC isolator switch next to the inverter and turn it off. Disregard this step if the switchboard and the inverter are close to each other (within 3 meters).
- If the inverter and switchboard are close to each other, go to the inverter and identify a DC isolator and PV array switch and turn them off.
- If the inverter has an inverter isolator switch, turn it off. Otherwise, disregard this process if it does not have this switch. After completing the above step, you will notice the solar panel system is completely switched off. Wait for five minutes before you can begin cleaning.
- After the solar panels are dry, begin with step 4 backward to turn on the solar panels (turn on the DC isolator, turn on the AC isolator, and then turn on the main switch).
Practical Tips On Cleaning Solar Panels
So, you have invested a fortune in your solar panel system and are ready to reduce your electricity bill. But how do you care for this investment?
One way is to clean them regularly.
Here are useful tips on how to care for your solar panels.
- Tip 1: Shut down the panel before you begin cleaning.
- Tip 2: Disconnect any rainwater collections
- You probably have a guttering system to collect rainwater. But as you clean the panels, the dust and dirt could enter the tank, thus polluting your water.
- The solution? Disconnect the gutter from the tank to prevent dirty run-off water from entering your tank.
- Tip 3: Clean your solar panels in the morning or late in the evening when they are cool.
- Tip 4: Use soft cleaning materials to avoid scratching and damaging the solar panels’ surface.
Why Should You Clean Your Solar Panels?
Solar panels play a role in converting light into electricity. However, dirt on the surface of the solar panel can decrease how much light is absorbed by that spot, lowering efficiency. Cleaning solar panels improve efficiency and eliminate debris, dust, and other contaminants, including leaves and bugs.
Consider why you should go to great lengths to clean your solar system regularly. Below are the reasons why you should clean your solar panels.
1- Improved Efficiency
When dust, leaves, and debris settle on the solar panels, they prevent sunlight from adequately penetrating the photovoltaic cells. You may realize dirt buildup on the panels when the energy production dwindles with increased sunlight intensity.
The study I mentioned at the outset of this article shows that cleaning commercial sector solar systems regularly can improve their efficiency by up to 60%. That is a huge loss, but you can correct the situation by scheduling solar panel cleaning.
2- Cleaning Your Solar Panels Ensures Durability
Accumulating dust, grime, small debris, and stones can scratch delicate solar panel surfaces and reduce their durability. The little damage to the photovoltaic cells can accumulate and lead to system collapse.
You can avoid early solar panel replacements by cleaning them and removing debris before it is too late. Solar panels should last between 25 and 30 years to generate a positive return on investment; otherwise, an early replacement could be a loss.
3- Cleaning Your Solar Panels Enhances Its Aesthetic Appeal
Who does not love a good-looking roof for their home? A dirty panel roof does not appeal to you and onlookers. This may not provide financial benefits, but neighbors may describe your house with adjectives like “dirty roof.”
Solar panels have reflective surfaces that will increase the aesthetic appeal of your home when cleaned.
4- Cleaning Your Solar Panels Validates Its Warranty
Solar panels have a warranty, but manufacturers and installation companies require that you fulfill specific conditions of use.
Some companies require proof of regular cleaning to help them decide in case of a fault.
A Summary Of Solar Cleaning Equipment
As we discuss why you should shut down solar panels to clean them, let’s briefly outline the important equipment you need.
- A soft brush to help remove loose dust without scratching the panels.
- A garden hose for spraying water to clean or rinse the panels.
- A ladder or harness to climb the roof during the cleaning.
- PPE and safety equipment to avoid unnecessary injuries.
- Solar panel cleaning robots for self-cleaning.
You can read more on solar panel equipment you should have before you start cleaning.
Frequently Asked Questions On a Solar Panel Cleaning Procedure
Here are the most frequently asked questions about solar panel cleaning:
What Is The Best Time To Clean My Solar Panels?
Solar panels are best cleaned late in the evening, early in the morning, or during winter seasons. This is because, in the middle of a hot day, you can crack the panels by pouring cold water on them due to a sudden temperature change.
Furthermore, the hot sun shining on the panels can quickly evaporate the cleaning water, leaving dirty marks.
However, cool weather in the morning or during winter is an ideal time to clean the panels using less water and energy.
Is Rainwater Enough To Clean My Solar Panels?
Rain is a natural cleanser, but rainwater alone is not enough to remove all dirt from your panels.
Sometimes after a long drought, rainwater alone may not remove all the accumulated dust on the panels. You will need to climb on the roof and do the cleaning yourself.
However, ensure you have turned off the panel for safety before you do so. You could also use a voltmeter to ensure no current is running through the system when you are about to clean.
Can I Get Electrocuted When Cleaning Solar Panels?
Solar panels generate electricity which can electrocute you if it is not shut down when cleaning. Although there is a limited chance of this happening, there is still a likelihood. No one will love to experience electricity running through our nervous system on the roof!
Your body can act as “earth,” allowing electricity to flow through you. And because solar panel cells generate direct current, it can be dangerous that you think if it gets hold of you. You may not pull away from the shock, leading to a fatal accident. This is not to scare you; it encourages you to always shut the solar system down before cleaning.
What About The Inverter? Will It Not Kill This Electricity?
An inverter is among the most critical elements in a solar energy system. An inverter converts direct current (DC) electricity generated by a solar panel to alternating current (AC) electricity used by the electrical grid (Source: Office of Energy Efficiency And Renewable Energy)
No, the inverter is a system that aids electricity storage, not production. Power from the panels can electrocute you before it is converted to AC.
How Often Should You Clean Your Solar Panels?
I would say it depends on where you have installed the solar panels. For instance, if you live near abundant vegetation and trees, you could clean the panels twice a year.
But if you live in a place with lots of dust or a construction area, you could clean the panels quarterly to remove dust and debris buildup. Allowing soil, grime, calcium, silica, and limestone to accumulate on the panels will significantly reduce their performance.
What to read next:
- How Many Solar Panels to Run a House Off-Grid? (This many!)
- How to Get Solar Panels from Government for Free?
- How to Use Solar Panels During Power Outage?
So, should you switch off solar panels before cleaning them? Yes. Shutting down the solar panels before cleaning enhances safety. The panels produce direct current, and electricity may electrocute you if you start washing without turning off the system.
And you know how direct current is dangerous, especially if the sun is intense and a lot of energy is produced. Follow the procedure outlined at the onset when shutting down your solar panel system, and you will be safe. Clean solar panels are more efficient and make your roof appealing.

The game: guess movie titles from emojis combo. Find 7 movies as fast as you can and challenge your friend!
During 2 days I:
wrote the game concept and rules
prototyped a quick version without any visual design
to see if it could be playable
created the game visual design with colors, fonts, etc.
added animations and transitions to the prototype to make it more realistic

Reviews - Please select the tabs below to change the source of reviews.
Useless for study
Better to buy the cd, the file supplied by audible is one long continuous file, so cannot jump to individual poems, making the product quite pointless for study.

An Important Audiobook on World War I Poetry
If you could sum up SmartPass Audio Education Study Guide to War Poetry (Dramatised) in three words, what would they be?
sumptuous, deep, insightful
What was one of the most memorable moments of SmartPass Audio Education Study Guide to War Poetry (Dramatised)?
The entire SmartPass Audio Education Study Guide to War Poetry was chock full of memorable moments. While some reviewers found this guide useless, I found it essential. I enjoyed how they interwove poetry, storytelling, and drama so that the soldier poets could tell their own stories in their own words. This production helped me understand the cataclysmic nature of World War I and the soldier poets' raw and creative response to it. I am grateful that they left us this record of how the war was like. I am also grateful for the love and the reverence that the audiobook producer and actors showed to these men and their work. They and a cacophony of sound effects and voices brought the soldiers' stories to life.
Have you listened to any of Full-Cast Drama’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I have listened to other Full-Cast performances in the form of SmartPass' production of Hamlet and Macbeth. War Poetry cannot top Shakespeare, but it came close in its beautiful production and deep analysis. I feel I am a richer, deeper, and more informed person after having listened to it.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
As I said before, all of the moments . . . the poems in the book . . . moved me. Hearing the soldiers' own words, their reports from the trenches, moved me by placing me there with them. If I were an English teacher, I would assign this audiobook over All Quiet on the Western Front in order to give students a broader understanding of the war. War Poetry does a better job of teaching because the language distills the horrors of war.
Any additional comments?
War Poetry is a great investment of time and money. Never before have I experienced a book on the pivotal moment of the twentieth century. The soldier poets were and still are on the cutting edge of all that followed. We owe a great depth of gratitude to them for their courage and creativity in speaking the truth about war.

Sales remain strong at the new Omega at Bonita Bay high-rise. With nine residences sold in 2020, The Ronto Group is now reporting sales have topped $125 million for the new Bonita Springs property.
The 27-story tower is already more than 50-percent sold. As the final luxury tower to join Bonita Bay, Omega promises to deliver an amenity-rich, luxury condo experience.
When finished, the tower will offer nearly 70 private residences, including a handful of sweeping penthouse units. Only two of those penthouse units remain for sale in the building. Some of the lower floors are also already sold out.

A tropical nirvana, Cape Marco offers up the appeal of refined luxury on the tip of Marco Island. With a half-dozen buildings to its name, the luxury condos of Cape Marco all come with their own unique and enviable attributes.
Located on the island’s southwest corner, Cape Marco is widely known to offer some of the region’s most impressive condos and amenities. This gated development of six towers is joined by an outstanding 1,200 feet of beachfront.
Exclusive community amenities range from the property’s tennis courts to a fitness facility, swimming and a clubhouse. Of course, the site is also a prime location for fishing, lounging on the beach or dining while overlooking the sand and water.
New luxury condos are headed to the current site of the historic Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club in the Coquina Sands neighborhood. About a year ago, the Naples City Council approved plans to replace the historic Naples Beach Hotel with an entirely new project.
The landmark hotel is scheduled to shut down for good this coming May, and eventually be replaced by a new complex including luxury condos. The new project has quite a legacy to follow.
The long-standing Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club has been owned by the same family for more than 70 years. Many area residents, and visitors alike, share fond memories of visiting the site over the years and decades.
Plans call for the existing property to soon make way for a new and more modern inn,


Chris Shepherd | Incomplete Architectures
"One is continuously encountering construction when walking, cycling, or driving in the city. It seems like new projects are always underway, and the bigger the place, the more prolific the process. Demolition and rebuilding are part of a perpetual cycle that plays out on every street; construction is the life blood of the city, the respiration of urbanity.
This boundless development is intrinsic to city life; it blends into the day to day and becomes almost invisible. Hundreds of building sites are planted in our subconscious, where they live quietly like the autonomic functions of the body. Like the vital acts of breathing, or the beating of our hearts, construction is an essential part of the life cycle of a city.
Incomplete Architectures uses materials, process, building and development to study ideas of change and impermanence, and the effect they have on us. It attempts to arrest the endless activity of the city and capture small moments of stillness, sandwiched between the immediate past and the near future. These moments are stunningly beautiful and remarkably affecting in their simplicity. They are traces of what has occurred, and what will be."
Chris Shepherd is a Toronto-based artist known for his use of the photographic medium to document the ever-changing urban landscape. His work has been exhibited across North America, and is included in major corporate collections in Canada. Most recently a number of his works were acquired by the HBC Global Art Collection in New York.

Progeny Press Literature Guide - Across Five Aprils
I love studying history. And one of the most pivotal times in American history was the Civil War. Progeny Press produces all sorts of literary study guides and I was very pleased to receive and review Across Five Aprils. Across Five Aprils is a novel by Irene Hunt which is set in the Civil War era; the main character in the book was actually the author’s grandfather. In the story, a family is divided as two sons fight on opposite sides. The book follows the youngest brother, Jethro, as he tried to make sense of what is going on around him.
The study guide is available in three formats: as a PDF file, as a printed booklet, or as a PDF file on CD. I reviewed the interactive PDF file version which costs $18.99. The printed and bound book is $18.99, and the PDF sent to you on a CD is $16.99. You can also order the CD and booklet together for $23.99. Regardless of the format purchased, you as the teacher can reproduce pages for your students. The guide is divided into sections; in this case the 12 chapters of the book were divided into 6 sections. Written for middle grade students, the study guide is meant to take 8-10 weeks to complete. The only other materials your student will need is the book, a dictionary, thesaurus, bible, and optional concordance.
The study guide suggests having the student read the book in its entirety within the first week of study. There are some suggestions for pre-reading activities, which include researching the cause of the Civil War and slavery issues. During the week of book reading the study guide suggests that your student read about Fort Sumter, study the Union and Confederate flags, and map out the battlefields as they take place in the book. Once the book is read, the meaty learning of the study guide begins.
Each section has a variety of sub sections: vocabulary, reading comprehension questions, connections with history and optional writing assignments. I liked the variety in the guide; in some sections the vocabulary was multiple choice, in others the student needed to fill in the blanks with a synonym using their thesaurus. There were “Dig Deeper” questions, which ask the student to evaluate the actions of the main character, or to compare the reaction of the patriarch to scripture.
The study guide also touches on other writing and grammatical instruction; there are explanations and questions about idioms, similes, metaphors, and personification. A persuasive paragraph assignment asks the student to show how scripture calls us to maturity and growth. There are suggestions for discussion with other students and optional activities.
After all the chapters have been studied there is an overview section with essay type questions. This part can be used as a test if the teacher wishes. Throughout these questions the student learns about plot, novel conflict, rising action, climax and motif. There are also essay and writing suggestions at the end of the guide; these include creative writing projects, imaginary letters, and biographies.
The version I reviewed was the interactive PDF, which is conveniently sent right to your email. It had blank fields which your student fills in; a very easy format to follow and correct. I appreciated that this study guide didn’t just ask questions, but also explained in simple language what a hyperbole was, or how to see dramatic irony in a novel. The questions in the sections were age appropriate and thought provoking; I especially liked how there was an emphasis on godliness and the use of scripture to evaluate character. Studying a historical novel in this way was good compliment to our homeschooling, and could easily be incorporated into a co-op setting. I am excited to see other well known books on Progeny Press’ website; and the wide range, from lower elementary to high school, of the study guides that they offer. See what other members of The Crew are saying about this and other literature guides here.

Meet Courtenay, a Missouri Star Academy Instructor!
Courtenay Hughes is one of the talented instructors at Missouri Star. As part of their education team, Courtenay teaches quilting, embroidery, and appliqué classes through Missouri Star Academy. This includes online courses, in-town classes, and some of their free tutorials!
I have been quilting for over 25 years. I’ve had about 20 odd years of practice at machine appliqué. And I am really looking forward to sharing some of that with you. My favorite part of teaching is when students who aren’t sure they can complete their projects get to the point where they realize that, yes, they can make them—and they will be beautiful! Whether that’s how to machine appliqué small pieces, how to hand appliqué in the car on road trips, or how to let loose and try something completely new, like a free-motion zig-zag “heartbeat” stitch that looks complicated but is actually very freeing, I love seeing students succeed!
Courtenay will be teaching a machine applique class.

Michel Vetterli and Reda Tafirout
Two Compute Canada researchers, Michel Vetterli and Reda Tafirout, were involved in the search for the Higgs Boson, the famed ‘god-particle’ that was discovered on July 4, 2012.
The discovery of a new particle in the search for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson was a major breakthrough in 2012. Since then, ATLAS followed up the discovery with a systematic program to measure key properties of the new particle confirming the Higgs boson is indeed consistent with the Standard Model predictions within the current level of systematic errors and theoretical calculations uncertainties. This confirmation has led to the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics (…)All of these accomplishments would not have been possible without the large scale computing resources made available worldwide and in particular in Canada with large analysis and simulation campaigns conducted on Compute Canada resources.

Consumers “hunt” for bargainsAs stated by Gonçalo Lobo Xavier to Multinews, the consumption habits of the Portuguese are changing due to the price increase that has occurred in recent months. In fact, according to data provided to Multinews by APED, currently 50% of all retail food purchases are made in promotional activities. Gonçalo Lobo Xavier explains: “This adjustment in consumption behavior in the face of social and economic emergency necessarily leads to less retailer loyalty and more demand for the best promotion”. APED warns that prices could rise if high energy prices persistGonçalo Lobo Xavier notes that the distribution sector has made efforts to control prices, through efficiency and logistical capacity, to “cut and crush margins”, even “in an adverse context”. Lobo Xavier warns that despite efforts to mitigate price increases, the situation is untenable, especially if associated costs continue to rise in the sector.2 months ago brytfmonline

GEOGRAPHIES OF KINSHIPDirected by Deann Borshay Liem
Closing Night Film, 2019 CAAMFest
Audience Award and Best Feature Documentary, 2019 Asian Film Festival of Dallas
Amidst the buzz around South Korea’s miracle recovery as one of the Asian tiger economies and its hosting of the 1988 Olympics, a newspaper published a headline that read “Babies for Sale: Koreans Make Them, Americans Buy Them.” It’s only a cursory glance into the decades-long phenomena that saw a post-war fledgling nation filled with war orphans transform into an economic powerhouse and the largest adoption “sending country” in the world.
Following up on the deeply personal exploration of her own Korean adoptee identity in First Person Plural and In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee (SDAFF ‘10), Deann Borshay Liem is now fully behind the camera, expanding her inquiry to examine the US/Korea geopolitics that led to ever-increasing adoption rates. Exhaustively researched and filled with original footage and interviews with leading academics in the field, GEOGRAPHIES OF KINSHIP also focuses on the emotional first-person accounts of four non-traditional Korean adoptees–from a half Black child of a US G.I., to adoptees raised in Sweden and Switzerland.
Their stories of inner turmoil, racism, atonement, and deep schisms with their adoptive families also lead to surprising journeys of purpose: advocating for Korean single mothers, connecting birth families with adoptees, and pushing for government recognition. Borshay proves a master of the genre, crafting her most probing documentary yet, a sympathetic and intimate study of migration, nationhood, and belonging.
This film is supported by a California Documentary Project grant.

San Juan College drone program students have variety of career options
Instructor says drones are a tool, not a toy
- San Juan College began offering a one-year certification program and a two-year degree program in drones during the fall semester.
- The college had been offering classes in drone operation for 15 years.
- Instructor Brian Seavey says the career possibilities for drone operators are wide and varied.
FARMINGTON — While he doesn't deny that learning to operate a drone can be a lot of fun, San Juan College instructor Brian Seavey knows his students have transitioned to seeing the larger picture when they start thinking about how they can use that skill to carve out a living for themselves.
"It migrates from being a toy to something they can make a career out of," Seavey said. "That's exciting and sobering at the same time. We don't think of it as a toy, but a tool."
While the college has been offering classes in drone operation for the past 15 years, this fall marked the first time they were part of a one-year certification program or two-year degree program under the heading of small unmanned aerial systems. And Seavey was pleased to see all three students in the program not only complete their first semester, but pass their remote pilot licensing exam from the Federal Aviation Administration and earn a remote pilot certificate.
More:GenCyber returns to San Juan College for second year
According to a press release from the college, the certificate demonstrates that the pilot understands the regulations, operating requirements and procedures to fly a drone safely.
Seavey said the career possibilities for drone operators are wide and varied, ranging from jobs as civilian contractors for the military or the government to the real estate, agriculture, surveying, security, industry, academic and entertainment fields. Government agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service use drone photography to map trails and archaeological sites or track wildlife, he said, while real estate agents often use it to promote their properties.

One of the more glamorous applications for the skill is shooting video for motion pictures or television, Seavey said. He explained his program already has built a close relationship with San Juan College's digital media arts & design department, headed by Luke Renner, who has helped develop San Juan County into a regular stop for filmmakers.
Seavey said the certification and degree programs are in their infancy now, and enrollment in the programs in the fall likely was hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic. But he expects to see more students enroll in the programs in the year ahead, explaining it's a relatively easy sell.
"It's extremely engaging," he said. "It's hands on, as well as a technical-type program."
Still, it's not for everybody, he said, explaining the technical side of the program does require a degree of maturity. There is a lot of reading, he said, but there is also a great deal of outside-the-classroom activity.
Students begin the program by learning to operate small, basic drones in an indoor setting. Seavey said that approach is done for safety reasons, allowing students to pick up basic operator skills without having to worry about losing control of their vehicle in a boundless setting.
"But they quickly migrate to outdoors," he said, where they operate bigger drones with more advanced cameras.
Those who enroll in the program need not purchase their own drone, as the school has its own equipment, he said, but many students choose to do exactly that.

"Our students this semester all purchased their own," he said. "That shows their commitment to it, so that's nice."
Earning that FAA certification, as those three students recently did, is a big step in the process of becoming a professional drone operator, he said.
"Some of the biggest things we learn are rules and regulations," he said. " … By doing that, they do learn to be respectful and safe pilot operators."

The lamps are designed in such a way that they can be transported flat and folded or clicked together on location into a working lamp. Certain parts in the lamps are also designed and 3D printed with our bio-filament. In some lamps, the surface of the bioplastic sheets have been treated with a laser to create patterns and bending lines. The fibernyl sheets they used have a thickness of 0.70 mm and the terranyl has a thickness of 1 mm.


A third of surveyed MSU students report problem accessing online learning
More than a third of Missouri State students reported a problem accessing online learning, according to a mid-semester survey university conducted.
Of the 35 percent reporting an issue, 17 percent complained of internet issues and 14 percent pointed to trouble with equipment, such as laptops, or software, including the Blackboard learning management system.
It was not clear if students encountered a one-time issue or ongoing frustrations.
"A survey is nothing but a survey if you don't do anything with it," said Keri Franklin, associate provost for public affairs and assessment. "And so we have to reach back out to the students and let them know 'We heard your voice' and 'We see your need.'"
The results released last week to the MSU Board of Governors showed 7,321 students completed the 10-question survey in late September and early October, designed to shed light on how students were faring during the pandemic.
The response rate was above 44 percent.
"The goal of the survey was the outreach. We want to make sure our students have the tools to succeed," she said. "With that in mind, we asked them about their adjustment to learning this fall."
The university halted in-person learning in March because of the pandemic, moving to an online or alternative format. This fall, the campus fully reopened with students opting for a mix of in-person, online and hybrid or blended courses.
The survey asked students how they adjusted to learning this fall and nearly 19 percent described it as great, 20 percent as OK, and 39 percent checked the box "I'm adapting to it but it isn't ideal."

Nearly 16 percent described it as "not good" or "pretty difficult" and a little more than 6 percent — 463 students — said it was terrible.
Students were asked if they were experiencing mental health concerns, needed help with housing or food, or wanted to access online academic assistance. A majority answered "no" to those questions.
Here is a breakdown of the students who responded yes or maybe to those questions:
- Mental health concerns — nearly 10 percent yes, 18 percent maybe
- Assistance with food — nearly 5 percent yes, 6 percent maybe
- Assistance with housing — 3 percent yes, nearly 5 percent maybe
- Need academic assistance — 8 percent yes, 13 percent maybe
Franklin said students who answered "yes" were immediately sent a list of resources to meet the need, complete with contact information.
Creating a team to help students in need
MSU also assembled a team to respond to students who have identified a concern or a need. Franklin said the goal is to erase the stigma and remove barriers so students can be successful in college.
Dee Siscoe, vice president for student affairs, said the follow-up with students who had a mental health concern showed that despite communicating options, they often did not know what help was available.
"We find that in a time when they are in a crisis or they are dealing with anxiety, they might not remember those resources," she said. "We were helpful in making sure they had those at their fingertips."
Siscoe added: "Just the idea that someone reached out and said they cared was meaningful."
More:MSU's multi-year fundraising campaign stands at $206M, just shy of $250M goal
As part of the survey each year, the university asks how many students enrolled in the fall plan to return in the spring. This year, 84 percent said yes, 7 percent said they plan to graduate in December and most of the others were unsure.
A tiny sliver of students responded that they either do not plan to return or they plan to enroll in a different institution.
"If students say 'no,' they have made up their minds and it's really hard to change that," Franklin said. "If they say they are unsure, there may still be a chance there. This is a strategic group to follow up with."

The ByStarFiber 4020 Dynamic Edition laser burner uses a 10,000 W fiber laser for cutting. This type of laser is the most efficient way to get the highest laser cutting efficiency. The laser beam of the fiber laser is produced in an active fiber and fed to the cutting head of the machine by the transmitting fiber. Lasers of this type are smaller than CO2 lasers but are more effective in comparison to the supplied energy, from which they obtain several times greater power.
Fiber laser for sheet metal with automatic storage with two storage towers for sheet metal with a size of 2 x 4m, up to 5 tons each. The use of the latest laser cutting technology allows us to optimize the cutting process and thus it results in a more attractive offer for our services and products.
B&P Engineering providing machine building services for OEM or Tier 1 customers through the optimization of production processes is an attractive partner for the implementation of complex machine and equipment building projects on the basis of received documentation within the subcontracting services.
The TRUMPF laser cutting machine featuring a 6000 W resonator is capable of cutting stainless steel as thick as 25 mm with 0.1 mm accuracy. CNC VXstandard burner is used for plasma cutting.

The beam of light emitted by the laser cutter allows for precise engraving of lines and cutting almost any shape in metal sheets, including contours, as well as various auxiliary elements or technological holes.
Laser cutting with the use of CNC machines is at the moment one of the most accurate, if not the most accurate method of dividing materials. The basis of this technique is the point energy output taking the form of a hot cutting flux, where the laser beam is formed as a result of electrical discharges occurring in a mixture of industrial gases, which includes gases of high purity, including helium, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The cutting itself consists in melting or evaporating the treated raw material. In addition, the numerically controlled cutting head can move in four axes - X, Y, Z and A (360°), and the full automation of processes as well as the high quality of the cutting beam itself allow to achieve really excellent results.
The benefits of laser cutting include:
- very high cutting precision,
- fast pace of work,
- 100% repeatability of processes and shapes,
- Perfect finish - creating clean edges, free from irregularities, perpendicular to the metal sheet surface,
- cutting out simple, as well as very complicated, irregular shapes,
- making holes of practically any diameter, also smaller than the thickness of the processed sheet,
- Maximum utilization of the workpiece by optimizing the cutting path,
- A wide range of applications for the types and properties of the materials to be treated.
The thermo-division of metal sheets and the punching of holes in them by means of a laser beam is a very versatile method of processing which allows to make high quality cuts. Laser cutting thus enables us to quickly but precisely produce parts of varied complexity that do not require any additional finishing processes before further processing.
The highly concentrated plasma arc between the infusible electrode and the sheet metal to be machined allows for very precise cuts in various metal thicknesses. This technique is especially recommended for thicker metal sheets.
Plasma cutting is a thermal method of separating materials consisting in melting and then blowing out the metal from the cutting slot. The process uses gases such as air and technical oxygen or nitrogen and a gas mixture consisting of nitrogen, argon and hydrogen.
High quality plasma arc and the use of additional, rotating protective gases allow to obtain straight and very smooth edges that do not require additional treatment. Therefore, when using plasma cutting, there is no need to carry out further processes aimed at preparing the cut workpiece for direct use or assembly in the final product.
Among the many advantages of plasma cutting with the use of a CNC burner, first of all we should mention the following:
- speed and high efficiency of work,
- 100% repeatability of processes and shapes,
- No need to heat the workpiece,
- precise cutting of almost any, even very complicated shapes,
- relatively large range of cutting thicknesses while maintaining a very narrow cutting gap,
- High-quality edges,
- Minimal impact on the workpiece surface,
- a small amount of slag from metal sheet processing,
- The ability to minimize waste by optimizing the design of the cutting head.
The burner for gas cutting with the use of concentrated plasma arc allows us to offer you both simple cuts and various sizes of holes, as well as bevelling and grooving of the metal sheet.

Inmate attempts escape on bus undercarriage
Authorities say a Los Angeles County jail inmate attempted to escape by clinging to the undercarriage of a sheriff’s transportation bus.
Sheriff’s Captain Mike Parker says deputies noticed inmate Gamaliel Martinez was missing from a secured transportation area Tuesday at the Pitchess Detention Center near Castaic.
Martinez had been handcuffed to three other inmates but somehow slipped out of the cuffs.
Deputies found him clinging to the undercarriage of a sheriff’s transportation bus that was about to leave the facility for court.
Martinez is serving a three-year sentence at Wasco State Prison for a robbery conviction and had been in the county jail while awaiting a court hearing Tuesday morning regarding additional robbery charges.
He now also faces charges of attempted escape.
