The paper presents the experimental study of a novel unsteady-statemembrane gas separation approach for recovery of a slow-permeant component in the membrane module with periodical retentate withdrawals. The case study consisted in the separation of binary test mixtures based on the fast-permeant main component (N2O, C2H2) and the slow-permeant impurity (1%vol. of N2) using a radial countercurrent membrane module. The novel semi-batch withdrawal technique was shown to intensify the separation process and provide up to 40% increase in separation efficiency compared to a steady-state operation of the same productivity.
Comparative calculations with a mathematical model designed by the authors, which takes into consideration energy transfer from gas flowing through a given channel to gas which penetrates this channel from an adjacent channel, as well as a model which omits this phenomenon, respectively, were made for the process of separating gas mixtures carried out with an inert sweep gas in the fourend capillary membrane module. Calculations were made for the process of biogas separation using a PMSP polymer membrane, relative to helium as the sweep gas. It was demonstrated that omitting the energy transfer in the mathematical model might lead to obtaining results which indicate that the capacity of the process expressed by the value of feed flux subjected to separation is by several percent higher than in reality.
A novel absorbing pervaporation hybrid technique has been evaluated experimentally for the recovery of ammonia from the gas mixture in a recycle loop of synthesis plants. This process of hybridization brings together the combination of energy-efficient membrane gas separation based on poly(dimethylsiloxane) poly(diphenylsilsesquioxane) with a high selective sorption technique where a water solution with polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG-400) was used as the liquid absorbent. Process efficiency was studied using the pure and mixed gases. The influence of PEG-400 content in aqueous solutions on process selectivity and separation efficiency was studied. The ammonia recovery efficiency evaluation of an absorbing pervaporation technique was performed and compared with the conventional membrane gas separation. It was shown that the absorbing pervaporation technique outperforms the conventional membrane method in the whole range of productivity, producing the ammonia with a purity of 99.93 vol.% using the PEG 80 wt.% solution. The proposed method may be considered as an attractive solution in the optimization of the Haber process.

To the Editor:
Re ''When the Epicenter of Pop Had a Broadway Address'' by Ken Emerson [Aug. 26]:
The reference to the song ''On Broadway'' gives sole songwriting credit to Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. The song was written with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The credits that read, '' 'Sweets for My Sweet,' written and produced by Pomus and Shuman,'' should read, written by Pomus and Shuman and produced by Leiber and Stoller.
In our opinion, Mr. Emerson's suggestion that the Brill Building songwriters enriched rock 'n' roll ''with a Jewish sensibility'' is hogwash, and makes about as much sense as implying that Irving Berlin's Jewishness influenced his writing of ''White Christmas.''
By the way, the Brill Building is located at Broadway and 49th Street, not 48th Street as indicated in the article.

When a woman enters the perimenopause or menopause phase, the body starts experiencing various hormonal changes that lead to menopausal symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, night sweats, or palpitations. It indicates that the body is not producing enough hormones as it should.
Maca for men?
The testosterone levels increase in men and this enables them to maintain their sexual potency throughout. Any drop or escalation in this hormone level can prove to be fatal. Men also face hormonal troubles as they age and this includes erectile dysfunction and decreased libido.
Maca is a natural herb that’s cultivated in the highlands of Peru, and it is often referred to as an adaptogen herb, which means that it easily adapts to the needs of the body, and works according to the age and gender of the individual taking maca.

A filing mishap has prematurely ended a Republican candidate’s bid for a seat in the Montana House of Representatives.
Neal Ganser, a Republican, filed to run for House District 66 in early March. Ganser said that his first financial filing, which was due March 22 to the Montana Commissioner of Political Practices, was not certified and signed properly in the state agency’s systems by the deadline.
That issue caused his candidacy to come to an early end.
The misstep has left political newcomer Eric Matthews, a Democrat, as the lone candidate for that district unless the Gallatin County Republican Central Committee nominates a replacement for Ganser. The committee can do so up to 76 days before the general election.
Matthews said he plans to continue campaigning and knocking on doors.
“All that still needs to be done. I’m not taking this for granted,” Matthews said.
Ganser, who previously ran for HD 61 in 2016, said that the commissioner’s office was having system issues during the weekend he submitted his financial report. He said that when the office saw his incomplete report they reached out to correct it.
Jeff Mangan, the commissioner of political practices, said that he emailed Ganser and left a detailed message with him on how to get his report on track.
Mangan said that every year there are a handful of candidates who miss a report. He said that his office spends time contacting candidates and party leaders to ensure all filings are in on time.
Ganser said he was busy, and shouldered the blame for not getting the report corrected.
“Maybe I just wasn’t meant to run, I don’t know,” Ganser said.
Ganser was not the only Republican candidate running for a legislative seat in Gallatin County to exit before the primary. Kyle Voigtlander dropped out of the race for House District 63 before the financial filing deadline in late March.
Voigtlander said that he resigned because he had personal issues he had to deal with.
Catherine Purcell is now running as the Republican for that seat in an uncontested primary. Purcell will face off against incumbent Rep. Alice Buckley, D-Bozeman, in November.
Purcell did not immediately return a request for comment.
State law allows for county political central committees to nominate a candidate if there is still a vacancy after a primary election. In this situation, the Gallatin County Republican Central Committee would be responsible for nominating a new candidate.
“We’d have to address that locally,” Ganser said. “We’re trying to think of who might be able and willing to run because we do need a candidate there.”
Whether the Gallatin County Republican Central Committee is working to find a replacement for Ganser is unclear. Rep. Jane Gillette, R-Bozeman, who is seeking reelection in HD 64, is the chair of the committee. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Michael Fuchs will sit in the Bundestag for the Christian Democrats until 2017 and is temporarily deputy leader of the parliamentary group. Now the entrepreneur has died at the age of 73. Companions mourn the politician.
The former deputy leader of the CDU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Michael Fuchs, is dead. This was confirmed by a spokeswoman for the CDU Rhineland-Palatinate. The spokeswoman was initially unable to provide any further details. He died at the age of 73.
Fuchs, who was born in Koblenz, sat in the Bundestag from 2002 to 2017 and has been deputy parliamentary group leader since November 2009. In his hometown of Koblenz, the pharmacist and entrepreneur sat on the city council from 1990 to 2006. According to the Bundestag, he held positions in several trade associations. From 1992 to 2001 he was President of the Federal Association of German Wholesale and Foreign Trade.
Numerous companions have already commented on the death of the politician on Twitter. The economic policy spokeswoman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, Julia Klöckner, wrote on her profile: "Rest in peace, dear Michael Fuchs! Loyal friend and pugnacious companion - we will miss you very much!". For Union faction leader Friedrich Merz, Fuchs was an "undeterred fighter for the social market economy". "I'm losing a loyal friend and companion," Merz continued.

Ford has revealed an upgraded version of the 7.3L Godzilla crate engine they're calling the Megazilla. The reveal was in Indianapolis at the Performance Racing Industry trade show.
The specs for the Megazilla are:
- 7.3 liter V8
- 10.5:1 compressions ratio
- 615 horsepower at 5,800 rpm
- 640 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm
- Mahle forged pistons
- Callies forged H-beam connecting rods
- CNC-ported cylinder heads
- low-profile intake manifold
- 92-mm throttle body from the Mustang Shelby GT500
Ford has revealed a more potent version of its Godzilla V-8 aimed at car builds.
The Megazilla is also a 7.3-liter V-8, and also comes with the Godzilla's cast-iron block and 10.5:1 compression ratio. The Megazilla however is estimated to deliver 615 hp at 5,800 rpm and 640 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm, with the torque figure estimated to crest 500 lb-ft as soon as 2,000 rpm and hold above it all the way through to 6,000 rpm. The Godzilla delivers a maximum 430 hp at 5,500 rpm and 475 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm.
While the Godzilla was designed for applications in trucks, where the focus is more on longevity rather than outright performance, a Ford spokeperson said the Megazilla will be targeted at car builds. It could also go into performance-oriented light trucks.
In addition to more power, the Megazilla's upgrades over the Godzilla include Mahle forged pistons, Callies forged H-beam connecting rods, and CNC-ported cylinder heads. The Megazilla also features a low-profile intake manifold and the 92-mm throttle body from the Mustang Shelby GT500.
Ford hasn't mentioned the weight, but don't expect much difference from the 580 pounds of the Godzilla, considering the Megazilla uses the same cast-iron block design.
Ford also hasn't said in what models the engine will fit, but the Godzilla can fit in the engine bays of the Super Duty, the F-150, and even the Mustang.
The Megazilla will be available from the second quarter of 2023. Pricing will be announced closer to the market launch but as a guide, the Godzilla is priced at $9,175.

East 4th HornS happen to be one of the hottest units out of NY. They have
participated in many recording sessions, in all genres of music, so even if
you don't know their name you probably know their sound. This is their first
album. They felt it was overdue to explore their own music, instead of participating
on someone else’s project.
The band members are John Wheeler on trombone, Tony Kadleck on trumpet and John Scarpulla on the sax. Their history starts in the early ‘80s out of Boston. Wheeler and Scarpulla studied at Berkeley Music College, and met Kadleck who was studying at New England Music College. They shared the dream of being active as a professional horn section. In 1986 they moved to NY, but it was not until 1992 that they took on the name East 4th HornS and began operating as a group.
Wheeler and Scarpulla had trained with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra when they were teenagers and Kadleck was invited to be a guest soloist by the Boston Pops. Their ability exceeds their years and this project is a fine representation of their talent.
After landing a great account with “Beat on Beat“ studios under the production of Atsushi Kosugi, the East 4th HornS began and continue to record with artists such as George Benson,The Gypsy Kings, Jody Watley, Natalie Cole, Luther Vandross, Bill Cosby, Aaron Hall, Ultra Naté, Nuyorican Soul, Be Be Wynans, Terence Trent D’arby, The Braxtons and Salt-n-Pepa. Some other musicians that recorded with the East 4th HornS in the section are Arturo Sandoval, Michael Brecker, Grover Washington, Jr., Bill Evans, Phil Woods, Bob Mintzer, Bob Berg, Lenny Pickett, Jay Beckenstein, Gary Smulyan, Barry Danielian, Ozzie Melendez, Joe Giorgianni, Dave Mann, Eric Miyashiro, Andy Snitzer and Donny McCaslin to name a few.

I never thought that I could make this at home! I LOVE this stuff and always get a huge bag at the fair and its usually gone within days. This really does taste just like real stuff. I'm not exactly sure how healthy it is, but popcorn is a very healthy snack!
Kettle Corn-adapted from Joy the Baker
1/2 cup popcorn
1/4 cup canola oil
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt.
We own a Whirly Pop and if you LOVE popcorn this is a great investment! Mix together sugar and salt. Place oil in whirly pop, drop in pop corn, stir so that the oil coats the popcorn. This is key so that the sugar doesn't burn. sprinkle sugar/salt over kernals. stir stir stir until popcorn has popped. Such a tasty treat!
If you do not own a whirly pop, you can easily do this in a big kettle on your stove. Let oil heat up, sprinkle in popcorn, top with sugar and close the lid. wait for the first kernals to pop and then grab hold of the lid and shake, shake, shake. Place back on stove for a few mins and then continue to shake.(ok Joy might explain it better!)
Ours does have a slight burn mark on the bottom of the pan that is why you will need to use all the oil!(ive tried to use less and well it didn't work!)

Ki Pro GOExtended Features Video
Watch to learn more about the Ki Pro GOs recent feature additions including:
Introducing Ki Pro GO Video
Watch to learn more about Ki Pro GO’s key features including Multi-Channel HD and SD capture to USB media, redundant recordings to a fifth USB port on the rear, elegant web interface for remote control and more.
Industry Standard Connectivity
The video and audio connections on the rear panel of the Ki Pro GO offers 4x 3G-SDI and 4x HDMI inputs with separate SDI and HDMI monitoring which includes Matrix Monitoring for multi-channel viewing on a single HD display. XLR Analog Audio in offers Mic, Line and Phantom Power for audio recording from master sources, mixers and more. HDMI and SDI 2-channel embedded audio or the XLR analog inputs can be easily assigned to each recording channel. Alternatively, you can use the second Analog Audio input as a LTC input. Four USB ports on the front provide easy to access recording media using off the shelf USB drives, with a fifth USB port on the rear. Flexible destination mapping allows any USB to record the primary and any USB for backup or pass on of a second copy. This allows for backup or pass on of a secondary copy of captured files to post-production, clients, or others on your team. You can also map a single source to multiple USBs for duplication needs. Four 3G-SDI outputs ensure that signal pass through is available for connectivity into a wide range of devices from routers, to switchers, additional Ki Pros and more. Redundant power supplies ensure that always up reliability is provided for your critical live event needs.
Supports Playback of Externally Encoded Video
Ki Pro GO is capable of playing back .mp4 and .mov H.264 files created by common 3rd party applications. This capability has been tested against the latest versions of the following applications:
Genlock Free Recordingwith Easy Input Mapping
Record 1, 2, 3 or 4-channels of HD or SD up to 1080p 50/60 in H.264 simultaneously with Ki Pro GO. Simplify your setup by connecting up to four HDMI and four 3G-SDI source cables into Ki Pro GO and assign any combination of four inputs at a time for four channels of H.264 recording to any four of the 5 USB ports on the Ki Pro GO. Time is always tight, especially for live events. Ki Pro GO's Genlock free inputs make it is easy to switch your sources including SDI cameras, DSLRs, or HDMI cameras to the appropriate recording channel, all conveniently mapped within Ki Pro GO's elegant UI.
Extend your recording capabilities through the use of external (NAS) storage. Simply connect your storage to the Ki Pro GO over a standard Gigabit Ethernet network and take advantage of all the features of networked storage. Use your NAS as your primary storage location or as secondary (backup) media – you can even record to NAS and local, USB-based storage simultaneously, giving you the perfect combination of shared storage and portability.
Ki Pro GOs elegant and intuitive UI makes NAS set up easy. Simply enter the IP address of the storage, any required user credentials, and the SMB dialect you wish to use, and you’re ready to record. Ki Pro GO simplifies set up even further by auto-detecting the SMB dialect of your NAS system and self-configuring to match. SMB credentials can also be stored in system presets and recalled at the push of a button for “on-the-fly” system reconfiguration.
Local and NAS Recording
In this workflow we can see the Ki Pro GO is receiving video from camera sources 1 through 4. The Ki Pro GO is recording locally to USB drives connected to the front USB3 inputs. The Ki Pro GO is also connected via Gigabit ethernet to a Gigabit ethernet switch and a NAS for simultaneous recording. Editorial, Graphics and Digital Asset Management (DAM) workstations are also connected to the same network as the Ki Pro GO, with both having access to the NAS.
Multi-Unit Recording With a Single NAS
This workflow shows two Ki Pro GO units, with the first receiving video from camera sources 1 through 4 and the second receiving video from camera sources 5 through 8. Each Ki Pro GO is recording locally to USB drives connected to the front USB ports. Both Ki Pro GOs are connected via Gigabit ethernet to a Gigabit ethernet switch. A NAS connected to the same network is also the second recording destination for cameras 1 through 8.
Multiple, Simultaneous Recording Destinations
This workflow shows the Ki Pro GO receiving video from camera sources 1 though 4. The Ki Pro GO is connected to multiple USB drives as well as a NAS via Gigabit ethernet allowing immense flexibility.
Pick your Quality. Deliver your Bit Rate. Ki Pro GO allows independent quality settings per channel for recording; with five recording settings choices for any channel assignment depending upon your delivery need or eventual bandwidth allocation for the file's playback stream. Choose any one of five VBR Recording Settings allowing up to 25Mbps:
Ki Pro GO offers a large matrix of possibilities for redundant recording needs. Four USB ports on the front and a fifth USB port on the rear provide easy to access recording media using off the shelf USB drives. The Ki Pro GO offers the user flexibility in choosing any USB port for a channel’s primary and any USB port for a channel’s backup. The backup’s identical redundant recording allows for a true backup or pass on secondary copy of captured files to post-production, clients, or others on your team. In the case of a single input source, you can assign a single input to four primary recording channels and four backup channels in flexible combinations across the 5 USB ports, enabling 8 captures of the source to a total of 5 physical devices for duplication needs. The workflows below provide some examples of just some of the possibilities possible with Ki Pro GO's focus on a key concept of ‘pass out’ or ‘pass around’ or ‘handout’ media. Hit stop on your recordings and the show is ready to give to your clients right there and then.
Gang Recording Feature
Many workflows, as in some of the workflows shown above, require simultaneous recording across a range of Ki Pro products or multiple Ki Pro GOs. The Gang Recording feature means multiple units can be used in unison to produce recordings. This feature is available via the web UI when Ki Pro GO and other Ki Pro Ultra units have IP addresses configured under a common network and subnet mask and are connected via their LAN connections to an Ethernet switch or hub to a host computer.

Have you seen Dr. Francine Samuels?
MDs, RNs & staff doesn't care about your child's illness
Posted on June 2nd, 2017
Seems that whether your child is a new patient or an established patient they will not be able to schedule an appointment 4 at least 1 month. Even if you describe that your child is sick, vomiting, having painful episodes of diarrhea w/blood it just doesn't matter. You can call until your fingers fall off, speak to Gallo in the front office or either of the 2 RNs & you still won't have a chance of having your sick child seen. Don't waste your time or allow your child to suffer there.

Dr. Samuels did not give a clear diagnosis for my daughter. My daughter had stomach issues since birth and Dr. Samuels did not even give a physical examination to my daughter; she just chalked it up to reflux and a milk protein allergy. the nurses did not even check her vitals just her weight and height. I had to do my own research on infant reflux in order to request a medication because the initial medication dr. Samuels put her on made her vomit all her food after every dose. My daughter was misdiagnosed with a milk protein allergy. I only saw Dr. Samuels once and then was only seen by a nurse practitioner. When asking if she was heme positive with blood in her stool I was given this response by the nurse practitioner: "it looks to be negative but it wants to be positive". I was told to go on an elimination diet for a diagnosis that my daughter does have. Then it took 3 days for a prescription to get to the pharmacy. I leave voicemails for the nurses and office staff and am told that I never left a voicemail. I am so disappointed with this doctor and staff I will ask my regular pediatrition to recommend a better gastroenterologist.
Awesome GI doc

Dr Samuels is an amazing peds GI doc. She diagnosed my newborn with reflux, prescribed medication and our baby gained weight appropriately. Dr Samuels got the diagnosis correct and quickly and put us at ease with a very stressful situation. I highly recommend her as an extremely competent peds GI DOC

My daughter had been extremely sick and therefore she was really nervous on seing the doctor. She made my daugther feel good about herself, explained everything single thing she was going to do while examining her. She's really nice also to me as a parent, she was really caring. She's extremely patient. She is not only a great physician but also good human being, you can tell she likes children.

TERRE HAUTE —
The City of Terre Haute is returning to the business of billing customers itself for use of the city’s sewer system.
Starting in December, customers of Indiana American Water who are also users of the Terre Haute sanitary sewer system will begin to be billed once again by the City of Terre Haute — meaning they will receive separate bills.
For the past several years, sewer bills were simply added to water bills provided by Indiana American Water Co., and customers received one billing.
The change will not affect the amount of customer sewer bills, only their origin, said Brad Speidel, the city’s director of information technology.
About 25,000 customers currently use Indiana American Water and also use the city’s sanitary sewer system. About 3,000 well-water customers and about 1,500 Seelyville water system customers also will be a part of the change, Speidel said.
Indiana American Water Co.’s parent company, American Water, announced nearly one year ago it wanted to drop its sewer system billing services all across the Midwest, Speidel said. The Terre Haute community is one of dozens being affected, he said.
“American Water has made a strategic decision to exit the billing services line of business and will focus efforts on its core service of providing high-quality water service and reliable wastewater service to the communities we serve,” said Joe Loughmiller, external affairs manager for American Water, in an email to the Tribune-Star Monday.
Before about 2005, city employees handled billing for sewer services, Speidel said. However, now the city has hired a Tulsa, Okla.-based company, TPI Billing Solutions, to handle the job.
The annual cost to the city of services from TPI should be approximately $297,000, Speidel said. There will also be a charge for meter reading from Indiana American Water, he said.
In all, the total cost of the TPI billing contract and the payments to Indiana American Water for meter readings will be about what the city previously paid to Indiana American Water to handle its sewer billing services, Speidel said.
“It’s close, in my opinion,” he said.
The first sewer bills under the new system will be due in January. In-person payments can be made in the same locations where they are made currently, including Mike’s Market, Pages Market and all Jiffy Mini Marts.
Bills can also be paid by phone by calling 1-800-955-6598 or via the Internet starting in January at the city’s website, www.

In early January, I made the decision to protect one day a week—Thursdays—for whatever I want to do in the moment. This turned out to be one of the most powerful gifts I could have given myself, and I’m somewhat convinced that I will never ever ever schedule anything on a Thursday ever again for the rest of my life. It quickly occurred to me that the reason I did this is deeply tied to my ADHD, as is the problem it solved for me.
The Problem: Overscheduling
Put simply: I was overscheduled and I needed to fix it. But that’s a strange thing to say, since I am in the very unusual position right now of having complete control over my schedule.
I am in the early stages of starting a business, and every agreement I’ve made about my time is very new, and very intentional. I’m choosing to pursue my coaching certification, I’m choosing how many clients I’m able to take on, and I’m the one in charge of setting up new tasks for myself as I ramp up. I’m genuinely thrilled about every single piece that I’ve chosen and put into place so far. And yet, so quickly after making these choices, I felt myself starting to fray—the too-familiar feeling of burnout edged its way into my new, intentional life via my overstuffed calendar.
So why… why… was I overscheduled??
I know that I tend to go at what friends and coworkers lovingly refer to as “Dopp Speed” when I start new, exciting projects. It’s like light speed, but in every direction. This was the moment I had been dreaming about: that beautiful opportunity to do whatever I wanted on my own terms. And it turned out that what I wanted was to overschedule myself. Seriously. I genuinely wanted to do that. I designed my day from the moment I woke up until the moment I went to sleep. I dreamed up big plans, figured out what steps it would take to make them happen, and then started packing them in like Tetris blocks without hesitation. It was exciting. At a time when I can do anything, I want to do everything!!
The excitement lasted about a week before it turned to anxiety, stress, avoidance, and shame. People close to me started hinting that I seemed even more stressed and unhappy than I was before I left my job. I was confused and disappointed. But this was what I wanted…
Was it though?
The ADHD Lens
Thankfully, one of the main things that I had stuffed my schedule with is my ADHD coaching certification program, which means that I’m soaking up all sorts of information about how the ADHD brain works. It’s a pretty phenomenal experience to see myself—my choices, my thoughts—explained in a classroom setting. Equipped with insights from my classes, I see a number of reasons why my overscheduled life was happening, and how it was hurting me:
- I underestimated how long things take. Time blindness is a common issue for ADHD brains—especially if we don’t first break a project down into small, specific tasks. “I can get that done in an hour” is my most practiced lie. And when I’ve scheduled a full day from beginning to end, this has a snowball effect: each task that takes longer than I expect steals from the next one, and pretty soon everything feels terrible.
- I underestimated transition time. Another common issue for us: we often don’t account for the time it takes to set up for a task and get into the groove of doing it, nor do we account for the time it takes to come out of it, address any emotional impact that came up from it, or check back in with ourselves before the next task.
- I overestimated my sustained interest. ADHD brains require interest to function properly, and what’s interesting to me today might not be equally interesting the fourth time I look at it. When I plan my work based on my current interest level, I might be forcing my future self into a task that doesn’t light her up the way it would light me up today.
- I made commitments impulsively. Impulsivity is a core component of ADHD. In my case, I was overcommitting to plans—even if they were just with myself—based on how my gut felt about ideas in the moment, rather than thinking through the steps and details that would go into them. (In retrospect, most of my plans are still aligned with my path; they just take longer than I think they do. See time blindness.)
- I loaded my days up with demands on my self-control. Every time my alarm goes off reminding me to put down what I’m doing and move into the next task on a specific schedule, I’m calling on my brain to change gears and move against my current inertia. This is fine in small doses, but it takes mental energy, and my fuel tank was running out before lunchtime.
- I underestimated my emotional regulation needs. Who knew that redefining my career, starting a business, and studying the science behind my lifelong struggles might come at an emotional cost? And that it might be wise to leave some time and flexibility for processing and caring for that emotional experience? Perhaps I could have thought this through a little more…
- I needed time without disruption. In a tightly managed day, I’m not really experiencing transitions as opportunities to do the next thing. I’m experiencing them as disruptions to my current state, which, if I’m lucky, often includes hyperfocus. This feels taxing and painful. When I’m clearly and fully engaged in a task, being forced out of it—even by another thing I’m excited to do—can hurt.
The Solution: A Zone of Freedom
In one of my many moments of rebellion, I threw out my schedule and spent a day doing whatever I wanted. It turned out to still be work, but the work was deeper and more aligned with my current attention and energy. The relief came quickly, and creativity came with it. I remembered that creativity can’t operate in a tightly managed window. I remembered that my goal isn’t to Do Everything; it’s to design a sustainable life that works with me, rather than against me.
“Doing what is best for my mind is a higher priority than doing what my mind is best at.”—me, in a blog post only a month earlier
When the dust settled a bit, I sat down and reworked my schedule. I still love planning my day with the Owaves app, but now my plan includes transition time between tasks and space for mental breaks. That didn’t feel like enough, though. I also wanted some time that was truly protected. Weekends seemed like the obvious choice but social events, relationship time, and home projects were most likely to show up there. Weekends weren’t really mine. And besides, what I wanted to do with this time was still likely work, because my work is what I’m passionate about. After reviewing my existing commitments, I realized I could move a few events and protect my Thursdays.
Thursdays? A full day every week? It felt downright decadent. Selfish. Uncomfortably so.
I realized I had to try it.
I moved a couple of events and blocked out my calendar (8am to 8pm) with a repeating event called “Freestyle Thursdays.” Then I nervously informed the people most likely to schedule with me that Thursdays were now off limits. No one flinched. In fact, they applauded me, and said they hoped I’ll maintain it. I felt a little bit skeptical that I’d be able to hold the boundary, too, because it’s hard for me to say no to commitments. But after the first week, I was in love.
Here’s how it works: I show up to Thursdays with nothing scheduled and no goals. No expectations. No requirements on the day. (Except, as I quickly remembered, eating and moving. I still have to eat and move, and those still require alarms.) I decide what matters on Thursdays when I get to Thursdays. And even within a Thursday, there shall be no setting requirements upon the Thursday. Whatever happens on a Thursday is what was supposed to happen on that Thursday.
So what tends to happen? I use the time for the kind of thing I’d stay up late to work on—the thing that I know matters or is exciting or is a challenge that I want to get through, but doesn’t align with my existing commitments or the plans I made a week ago. It’s always valuable. It always unlocks something important. And it often surprises me. I recently made a couple of TikTok videos that went semi-viral, and what do you know, both were made on Thursdays.
The end result is that my entire week feels more balanced and manageable. When I feel trapped in my own scheduling, I remember that I have Thursdays. When Thursdays arrive, I’m so excited to dive into them. It’s also worth remembering that prior to choosing ADHD coaching, I had four months of completely free time without a career focus, and it did not make me happy—instead, I felt aimless and lost. Freestyle Thursdays, on the other hand—because they’re supporting a schedule otherwise filled with structure and purpose—now feel like magic.
So Why Did This Work?
Elated as I am that this new system is working, why exactly did Freestyle Thursdays land so well?
I think the answer lies in a Chinese term that was popularized in English during the pandemic: revenge bedtime procrastination. It refers to that cycle of staying up way too late doing mindlessly relaxing things because you’re trying to “steal back” your own time from a day that was too intense, too heavily scheduled, or too committed to something other than your own nature. This concept isn’t specific to ADHD, but like many of the ADHD lenses listed above, what’s true for the general population is sometimes more intensely true for our ADHD brains, and many in the community have strongly connected with this term.
Thursdays are taking the role of revenge bedtime procrastination for me, but in a much more self-negotiated way. I’m declaring a safe space to be however I need to be, and I’m protecting it from all controlling forces including—okay, especially—the ones I inflict on myself.
Creating Your Own Zone of Freedom
Of course reserving a full day won’t work for everyone (especially parents), but this approach can work in smaller and differently shaped doses. Perhaps one indicator of how much time you need is how much time you’re already taking for yourself—the hours spent avoiding work or sleep—when you’ve hit your overcommitment limit. If your schedule is breaking down anyway, why not intentionally design some of that breakdown, and reframe it as meeting your own needs?
If the idea of a zone of freedom is intriguing to you, try some experiments! Test out protecting different lengths of time and different times of day. Place these tests at a time of day when you naturally feel alert, clear-headed, or relaxed. (Hint: if you’re not a morning person, choosing 6am will end in heartache.) Then use that time to wander wherever your interests in the moment take you with no agenda or expectations. And if you’re experimenting with more than an hour or two at a time, make sure you include a plan to eat, drink water, and move.
This time could look like dabbling in a creative project, researching something you heard on a podcast, reading a magazine over coffee, grabbing a workout while the kids take a nap, triumphantly banging out your “misc little things” To Do list, playing a game, taking a bath, getting outside, reorganizing that kitchen drawer that bugs you, or even just “doing nothing.” If you’re not sure where to go with it in the moment, try asking yourself these two questions:
- What am I curious about?
- What does my body need right now?
Pay attention to what strategies feel most supportive for your mood, focus, and energy, and get creative about how to make them compatible with your life. If you suspect that a bold decision could make a huge difference for you, test it out a few times, and track the impact. You might find that it’s worth the commitment. You might also find that the people in your life will help you protect it if they understand how much it helps you.
Once we create a zone of freedom, the key is to firmly protect it so we can trust that it’s really there. And then to enjoy it, and let our beautiful, sparkly brains just breathe and be what they need to be.

Milan, “The Forest Room – Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2022” – 06/2022
Hand painted panels “The Forest”, Jacquard ceiling “Northern Lights”
For the 60th edition of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile DreamLux presents “The Forest”
The DreamLux Room has been developed using two different activation techniques: in the ceiling the movement of the Aurora Borealis is recreated with panels in Jacquard weaving, where the “multilevel” weaving technique allows to appreciate the light effects only in the desired points, while in the rest of the fabric the fibers are hidden behind the yarns.
In the side cladding our Victor Cigno fabric is used to cover the panels, while the forest is hand painted by the artist Giovanni Bressana, who wonderfully recreated the Nordic environment for a totally immersive experience.
In addition, we recreated the movement of the Northern Lights through the software integration: to get the shades of light we used 190 LEDs in Cold White and Capri Water colors. The remote-control system helps to reach the highest level of technology, thanks to the changes of light movements and the creation of a perfect emotional feeling.
This is the magic of DreamLux: creating, through the light in the fabrics, scenarios that excite and carry far.

Director: Paul Damien Williams
Screenwriter: Paul Damien Williams
Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu
Susan Dhangal Gurruwiwwi
Runtime: 96 mins.
Australian release date: 25 April 2018
Previewed at: Chauvel Cinema, Paddington, Sydney, on 25 April 2018.
Paul Damien Williams’ documentary Gurrumul gives viewers the opportunity to be transported on a powerful spiritual and musical journey that resonates long after the film is over. According to Aboriginal culture, the name and image of the recently deceased must be retired from use but a very rare exception has been made by Gumatj and Gälpu clan leaders for this film about the renowned musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu. This unique, extraordinary artist, blind since birth, passed away in July 2017. The leaders felt it was important for Gurrumul - whose totems are the saltwater crocodile and the rainbow python - to live on through his music so that he can continue to inspire not just the Yolngu community but all Australians and the rest of the world.
Gurrumul was born on Elcho Island off the coast of North East Arnhem Land and, being blind, relied on the support of his family and the wider community. He took up guitar playing at an early age, influenced by the music of his clan’s traditional songs and local church services. As a young man he was one of the members of the famed Yothu Yindi band - comprised of both indigenous and balanda (non-Aboriginal) performers - who came together in 1986 and used Yolngu traditional manikay (songs and music) in some of their compositions. They were an impressive addition to the flourishing Aussie music scene of the period. The young singer/songwriter and guitarist’s next endeavour was as a fundamental part of Saltwater Band, a group of young men from Elcho Island whose songs were often sung in language and it was during this period that Gurrumul’s beautiful voice was given more prominence. A few years later he was encouraged by Michael Hohnen, a musician from Melbourne who’d established a music workshop in the Northern Territory, to go solo, as Hohnen had spotted a unique talent in the unassuming, quiet player in Saltwater Band. Together with his Skinnyfish Music label partner, Mark Grose, Hohnen recorded indigenous bands and took them on tour around Australia. Ultimately, Grose became Gurrumul’s manager and Hohnen his musical collaborator and, collectively, they went on to conquer the world, musically speaking.
Gurrumul was a man of few words and Hohnen often became his voice (the two men called each other wäwa - brother), particularly when Gurrumul was being interviewed and the film shows the complete trust and respect the pair had for each other. Gurrumul looks spectacular. There are fabulous scenes from the four cinematographers (Gavin Head, Dan Maxwell, Katie Milwright and Matt Troll) that encompass the magnificent country, the dancing and singing traditions of the Yolngu and Gurrumul’s impassive face. Stylistically, Williams’s documentary is impressive too. In places the screen is black, reflecting the subject’s blindness. The director explains, “At these times there’s a sense of the world being aurally heightened. Our perspective shifts, our attention is drawn to things we might otherwise overlook, we begin to hear sounds within sounds, and we focus in on the world in an aural way. Then darkness. There is only sound.” Statements to camera by Gurrumul’s aunt, Susan Dhangal Gurruwiwwi, and other members of the Elcho community verify the importance of country and tradition and this is another key element of the film. To quote Williams again, “…the depth and breadth of Gurrumul’s culture needs to be revealed to our audience incrementally, with increasing sophistication as their sensitivities to its nuances develop. I want to leave them with the sense of awe that I felt when I came to understand just how deep the flowing waters of their culture ran.” Sadly, Gurruwiwwi speaks prophetically of the pages turning on her nephew’s life and the necessity to keep his music alive, so that future generations will be inspired by one of their greats.
If you missed out on seeing Gurrumul perform live, unlike Queen Elizabeth and Barak Obama, then you’re in for a treat - this is music at its finest and it makes your spine tingle. We are taken on a very personal visual ride with this film. It’s a tribute not only to the special talent of an inimitable, original musician but also for the music and tradition of his awe-inspiring, ancient culture.

Below are designed to provide healing opportunities in specific areas of wounding which are common to many because we live in a broken world. “Hurting people, hurt people” None of us is exempt from injury during our lifetime. Unaddressed wounds and unresolved pain diminish our life energy and we loose the desire to actualize our God-given talents inherent within us. Instead of thriving in life as God intended, we focus on survival techniques and attempt to minimize any further injury. This restricts our ability to form meaningful, healthy relationships and deepens our isolation and pain. The ministry menu presented at this time reflect the most common areas of wounding. Each ministry area will offer an opportunity to work through the most common issues related to that given topic. For some, these classes will be the beginning pathway to healing and restoration. Those with milder wounds may complete their healing journey during the course of the class. Others, with more severe wounds, may find it necessary to pursue additional healing avenues, including counseling. Wherever you are in life, God has made provision for healing – body, soul, and spirit
Our Counseling Ministry is designed to come along side you and support you during any critical periods of your life. During these times we all need assistance – sometimes we give assistance and sometimes we receive assistance. Gal 6:2 states: “Bear ye one an-other’s burdens, and so fulfill the law.” We also know that if one member of our body hurts, the whole body fills the pain. (3 John 1:2) The counseling team is trained and prepared to assist you in your time of need.
Following are listed some of the common areas of counseling:
Starting September, 3rd
Every 1st Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm
“Reclaiming Peace,” with Heidi Kneiling starts back up Thursday, September 12 th . It starts at 6:30 and runs till 8:30. Cost is $20 for the workbook. This course is designed for you if you are a victim of Fear, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. It runs for 10 weeks, and is packed with wisdom and
solutions for living in victory. And victory is what we are all about. The victory that brings glory to God and the glory of His presence to us as we live for Him.

My Federal Indian Law & Policy course had us investigating issues of tribal sovereignty this week. I decided to post my response to our discussion questions here because I found a lot of things in the reading that really explained why this concept is so important and supported the general argument for continued tribal sovereignty. I found the most compelling arguments to be from Mark A. Chavaree, Esq. in his closing “philosophical standpoint” on tribal sovereignty. I used other quotes from him below, but also wanted to share one more quote here:
“The laws, effected through court cases, congressional action and federal policy. . . recognize the uniqueness and separateness of Indian people and the sovereign powers of their governments. It is interesting that when such rights become an inconvenience for the states and their non-Indian citizens they question the justification for Indian people possessing these special powers.”
How do you define "tribal sovereignty?"
I define this term as the rights of an indigenous group to have self-government of their territories, which can include people, land, and natural resources such as animals or minerals.
Where did it come from?
It is an inherent right from pre-contact time. As it says in the reading from “The Treaties”:
"Before European occupation, tribes had complete sovereign power over their territory."
Why is it important?
The second reading from the American Indian Policy Center ended by saying,
"…the fact remains that Indian people are not just another racial minority group – they are a people who have retained a unique aboriginal status."
Although this may sound obvious, it doesn’t seem to be truly understood by many non-native American citizens. I think many people feel confused by this idea and wonder why Indians have a need to remain separate from mainstream American culture. The article by Mark A. Chavaree from Wabanaki Legal News really dug into this issue when he said that,
"This idea runs counter to the idea of the great melting pot, but it is a fundamental characteristic of Indian people. It finds its basis in the differing worldview of Indian people."
The whole concept of America as a melting pot was formulated by the people in power, not by the original inhabitants. If American Indians were subject to the colonization and re-appropriation of their lands, doesn’t that immediately make them different from other racial minorities? As Chavaree continues,
"The history of Indian/non-Indian relations repeatedly has shown this separateness. The actions of the federal government towards its Indian citizens has ultimately confirmed it."
What are some examples or manifestations of it?
An example of an abuse of tribal sovereign power that I found interesting was that of Darrell "Chip" Wadena, who asserted sovereign immunity in a federal court to escape criminal charges resulting from his individual actions as chairman of the White Earth Chippewa Reservation in Minnesota. This was not what tribal sovereign immunity was intended for since it was meant to provide immunity for entities acting in a governmental capacity, not to protect against an individual’s fraudulent actions. The case we read for United States of America, et al., Plaintiffs, vs. State of Washington, et al., Defendants, made an interesting point in the "Canons of Interpretation" when looking at how the federal Supreme Court had chosen to interpret treaties:
"…a treaty is not a grant of rights to the Indians, but a grant of rights from them, thereby implicitly containing a reservation of those rights not explicitly granted."
Subsequently, this type of interpretation allowed for most of the Washington State tribes listed as plaintiffs to retain fishing rights to State lands outside of reservations and also for purposes of shell-fishing.

Though the trailer got me into it, after a few episodes I still can’t say it has got me hooked on it.
Putting stars like Mary J Blige and Ellen Page in front so at least there are some recognisable faces in there…it’s weird.
It tries to be Tarantino-like, at certain points, I noticed. Except the violence that is used in this film is nowhere near funny enough for that. The sarcasm isn’t that richly spread.
When my husband told me about it, I said ‘it sounds like a cross between The Incredibles and Hancock’, and he said: that’s actually exactly it?!
I don’t agree with that analogy.
It’s more like The Royal Tenenbaums, crossed with The Incredibles if they’d ever give it a second part where the children go through puberty and then young adulthood, but even then it doesn’t meet even halfway where you want to picture it. Because of the mother I was reminded of Setpford Wives aswell.
It’s about seven children, whose parents have died the same day they were born. Like the Dionne quintuplets, these seven children never actually had a warm, nice childhood, as they have been put aside by someone who’s sole goal it was to make them develop their super abilities.
When their father dies, they are put to a task, it seems.
Nice side figures are Mary J Blige as ChaCha, send to look for the boy that was always called Five and got lost when he was young.
The waitress at the bar where he goes to to find solutions for his problems is a nice one aswell. She was the librarian in The Day After Tomorrow.
The junk called Klaus is actually the most entertaining one of the squad, as he acts insane and therefore creates the funniest scenes.
Ellen Page plays a talentless violinist who has always been burdened with the fact that she has no special talent whatsoever. Her Eeyore like style isn’t the kind of thing I can watch for hours.
So in short: I can’t bingewatch this series, but it’s alright.

Very excited to announce a wonderful collaboration we have coming up!!
On the final stop of our West Coast Tour (more dates, flyers TBA) at the Jim Pepper Jazz Festival - we'll be collaborating with Bay Blues Society Hall of Fame Jazz Artist of the Year Avotcja (pronounced Avacha).
A riveting performer, she regularly collaborates a dazzling array of improvisers, including violinist Sandy Poindexter, tenor saxophonist Francis Wong, bassist Eugene Warren, percussionist Hector Lugo, and pianist Jon Jang. As a word-artist she delivers rhythmically charged verse while contributing grooves and textures on hand percussion.
We can't wait to see what we all do together at our performance in Portland!

In the fall of 2020, Snøhetta completed a feasibility study for the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo, Norway, aiming to renew the museum in line with Thor Heyerdahl’s adventurous spirit and the explorer’s drive to promote intercultural understanding and tolerance, respect for our natural resources, and conservation of healthy marine environment for the world’s oceans. Set to open in 2025, the revitalization of the existing building and its new expansion will let visitors experience and explore an unparalleled cultural heritage that is reflected in a context of today.
Located on the forested Bygdøy peninsula in Oslo, the Kon-Tiki Museum is one of Norway’s most visited museums, with more than 70 per cent of its visitors coming from abroad to take part in Thor Heyerdahl’s historic adventures. The museum houses a broad range of Heyerdahl’s work, from his first trip to the Pacific Island of Fatu Hiva to his journeys with Kon-Tiki, the Ra, the Ra II and the Tigris. Despite Heyerdahl’s passing in 2002, his thoughts, ideas and research vibrantly live on, both within and outside of the museum.
The Boy Who Never Lost His Adventurous Spirit
Already as a young boy, Heyerdahl had a strong interest in nature and animals. The new Kon-Tiki Museum aims to spark this same curiosity and urge to explore, particularly among children.
A large and lush green garden, surrounded by trees to both the east and the west, creates an intimate and contemplative space. With its relatively unprogrammed space, the garden is created for exploration, while also being well-suited for larger events and gatherings.
The centered expansion of museum gently splits the existing building in two, with Kon-Tiki and Ra II on each of the sides. The direction boldly follows the original building on its iconic triangular shape. The wooden wedge stretches as a sail with the wind, establishing a connection between the urban frontcourt and the garden oasis. The sail unfolds towards the sky and leads the way forward, symbolizing Heyerdahl’s focus on close collaboration between people and nature.
The museum’s new centerpiece holds a large multi-purpose auditorium at the tip, with spectacular views of the garden and the sky – a place dedicated for young and old alike to learn and discuss the importance of consumption reduction and address the global challenges related to our lack of focus on ocean health.
A Pioneer in Nature Conservation
Heyerdahl was invested in the preservation of nature, concerned by overconsumption, and passionate about creating a more sustainable world. Ambitious sustainability targets have therefore been set for the new museum. In alignment with the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement, Snøhetta aims to reduce the building’s total CO2 emissions through use of energy efficient materials, reuse, and a holistic view of the lifecycle of the building. With its multi-purpose auditorium and outdoor spaces, the new museum aims to transmit Heyerdahl’s thoughts and bring his heritage and vision into the future.

With summertime just around the corner, families are eagerly looking to book their next getaway. Since vacation is so top-of-mind during the summer months, users are bound to come across websites offering cheap deals on flights, accommodations, and other experiences and activities. With so many websites claiming to offer these “can’t-miss deals,” how do you know who to trust?
It turns out that this is a common concern among folks looking for a little summer getaway. According to our recent survey of 8,000 people across the UK, US, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, and Singapore, 54% of respondents worry about their identity being stolen while booking and purchasing travel and accommodation online. However, 27% don’t check the authenticity of a website before booking their vacation online. Over half of these respondents say that it doesn’t cross their minds to do so.
These so-called “great deals” can be difficult to pass up. Unfortunately, 30% of respondents have been defrauded thanks to holiday travel deals that were just too good to be true. What’s more, 46.3% of these victims didn’t realize they had been ripped off until they arrived at their holiday rental to find that the booking wasn’t actually valid.
In addition to avoiding bogus bookings, users should also refrain from risky online behavior while enjoying their summer holidays. According to our survey, 44.5% of respondents are putting themselves at risk while traveling by not checking the security of their internet connection or willingly connecting to an unsecured network. 61% also stated that they never use a VPN, while 22% don’t know what a VPN is.
Unfortunately, travel-related attacks aren’t limited to just travelers either; hotels are popular targets for cybercriminals. According to analysis conducted by the McAfee Advanced Threat Research team, the most popular attack vectors are POS malware and account hijacking. Due to these attacks, eager vacationers have had their customer payment, credit card data, and personally identifiable information stolen. In order for users to enjoy a worry-free vacation this summer, it’s important that they are aware of the potential cyberthreats involved when booking their trips online and what they can do to prevent them.
We here at McAfee are working to help inform users of the risks they face when booking through unsecured or unreliable websites as well as when they’re enjoying some summertime R&R. Check out the following tips so you can enjoy your vacation without questioning the status of your cybersecurity:
- Always connect with caution. If you need to conduct transactions on a public Wi-Fi connection, use a virtual private network (VPN) to help keep your connection secure.
- Think before you click. Often times, cybercriminals use phishing emails or fake sites to lure consumers into clicking links for products or services that could lead to malware. If you receive an email asking you to click on a link with a suspicious URL, it’s best to avoid interacting with the message altogether.
- Browse with security protection. Use a comprehensive security solution, like McAfee Total Protection, which includes McAfee WebAdvisor that can help identify malicious websites.
- Utilize an identity theft solution. With all this personal data floating around online, it’s important to stay aware of any attempts to steal your identity. Use an identity theft solution, such as McAfee Identity Theft Protection, that can help protect personally identifiable information from identity theft and fraud.
And, as always, to stay updated on all of the latest consumer and mobile security threats, follow @McAfee_Home on Twitter, listen to our podcast Hackable?, and ‘Like’ us on Facebook.
Follow us to stay updated on all things McAfee and on top of the latest consumer and mobile security threats.

Wack-a-doodle Nikki Haley in South Carolina: ‘I’m not going anywhere’
Wherever she is in the five stages of grief, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has not yet reached the “acceptance” stage.
Perhaps this is not surprising, considering that after each of her four crushing, double-digit losses to former President Donald Trump in the GOP primary cycle, she delivered some kind of wack-a-doodle “victory” speech.
After a humiliating third-place loss in the Iowa caucuses — 32 points behind Mr. Trump — Ms. Haley suffered delusions of victory.

Mars Food Australia, owner of Ben’s Original rice products, has today launched its new packaging, following the brand’s name change from Uncle Ben’s last year.
The new packaging will feature the recognisable orange background and navy-blue font alongside the Ben’s Original brand name.
Along with the change in packaging, Mars Food Australia will invest a percentage of profits to support disadvantaged communities within Australia over the next five years.
Bill Heague, General Manager of Mars Food Australia said: “This is not just a name and packaging change. We believe everyone deserves to feel welcome, heard and have access to nutritious food. That’s why we have committed to funding initiatives that help improve social inclusion and create meals, experiences and opportunities that offer everyone a seat at the table. We are currently in discussions with a number of community groups in Australia and we look forward to announcing a new partnership early next year.”
The launch of the new-look packaging will be accompanied by an integrated campaign to drive familiarisation with the new brand.
