Counseling and Therapy
Counseling and therapy involves a series of clinical sessions to help the client better understand their personal and interpersonal dynamics, explore the underlying causes, and develop corrective or coping strategies and skills. The “client” might be an individual, a couple, a family, an extended family, or any other group. My practice is focused on families (as opposed to individuals) and adults (as opposed to children). I work primarily with adults, with special attention to the needs of children. In this capacity I offer a wide range of services including pre-marital counseling, family therapy (with or without the children), couples counseling (such as to help decide whether to go forward with a divorce or try to save the marriage), pre-divorce counseling (such as when they have made the decision to seek the divorce, but would like to proceed responsibly), and even multi-family therapy.
It is my strong belief that the adults hold the keys to success or failure in the family. If the parents are not working effectively, whether together or separated, it makes no sense to send the children to therapy, other than to simply provide a place for them to get some support to offset the toxicity at home. Even if the children do have their own therapeutic needs, no child therapist will be able to accurately diagnose or treat so long as there is parental dysfunction. Therefore, the first step is always to treat the parents and then determine how or whether to treat the children.
Family therapy typically involves weekly or bi-weekly meetings lasting about an hour and a half. I normally start with the parents and then decide whether to include other adults or the children. If it appears that the children need their own therapy, I will refer that out to child specialists and then coordinate the parental work with that of the children.
The cost is just the hourly cost plus any costs of consulting with other professionals. Family therapy is usually billed monthly and does not involve a retainer unless I have problems with payments. Family therapy usually lasts from a few weeks to a few months.

When it comes to choosing your everyday wear, you don’t have to settle for something mediocre when you can get something that is affordable, sustainable, and best of all, looks and feels good. We’re talking about the stylish pieces from FIOBOC, a men’s lifestyle brand that merges style and function with a technical approach. The brand offers stylish and versatile T-shirts that you can wear for just about any occasion be it for leisure or sports.
FIOBOC was born out of a need to “INVEST IN COMFORT AND CONFIDENCE.” It helps address the struggle of finding highly functional and comfortable shirts that do not break the bank. The brand only uses premium quality fabrics and designs shirts that make you feel comfortable in your own skin and boost confidence. After all, looking good helps you feel good.
Moreover, when you wear FIOBOC T-shirts, you are also helping the planet since the materials used including bamboo, hemp, and organic cotton, are crafted with the goal of minimizing carbon footprint by 100%.
FIOBOC also guarantees the durability of its clothing. Their shirts are designed to last for many washes and like those Classic Chucks you have, only get better with age. To achieve this, they cut out the middlemen to put the focus on quality, craftsmanship, and versatility.
So, what better way to kick off the summer break than by stocking up your wardrobe with the brand’s latest designs that are surely going to make you look and feel great even under the sweltering heat. This includes the StayCool T-shirt 2.0 Curve-Hem Tee. We can vouch for the comfort this shirt brings.
StayCool T-shirt 2.0 Curve-Hem Tee
Below you can read our FIOBOC clothing review on the StayCool T-shirt 2.0 Curve-Hem Tee with a Classic Fit. This shirt feels good on the skin from the moment you put it on. It slides down smoothly with its super soft fabric and does not feel warm but cool on the skin.
Paired it with jeans and trainers for lunch out with friends then swapped the jeans for joggers for a quick run and a few weight lifts at the gym. It amazingly stayed as crisp as the moment I put it on. Unlike polyester blend shirts, this one also helped me smell fresh and did not break me up in heaps of sweat. It truly lived up to its name and the fit itself does not restrict your movements. Looking in the mirror, it actually made me look twice and smile. The curved hem also adds a stylish touch to a classic silhouette. I can say that this shirt is definitely performance and leisure wear in one.
What Makes This A Fully Functional Shirt
The FIOBOC StayCool T-shirt 2.0 utilizes the brand’s exclusive PBS fabric. It combines three powerful renewable materials that guarantee to keep you looking and smelling fresh. PBS stands for PIMA cotton + Bamboo + Sorona fiber. Pima fabric comes from a specific type of cotton plant called Gossypium barbadense. Clothing made with this fabric can withstand high temperatures and is highly durable. FIOBOC used liquid ammonia-processed PIMA cotton to give this shirt its soft texture, durability, and resistance to wrinkles.
Meanwhile, bamboo fiber gives this shirt its breathability, coolness, and its anti-bacterial properties to keep body odor at bay. Then Sorona fiber makes great outdoor or performance clothing because of its soft, flexible, and stain-resistant properties. It also offers exceptional stretch and recovery even after multiple stretches and washes and resists fading for long-lasting vibrance on colored clothing. The right blend of these natural fibers gives the FIOBOC StayCool T-shirt 2.0 its all-day comfort, coolness, and long-lasting strength.
Versatile Everyday Shirt
The FIOBOC StayCool T-shirt 2.0 adapts to the shape of your body, so you don’t look and feel awkward. I tried the classic fit and it made me look slimmer somehow. That’s because it’s designed to accentuate the arms and shoulders. It has more room on the shoulders, chest, and waist and has wider arm openings.
It also has a crew neck with triple needle stitching on the seams to keep its shape even after many uses. Likewise, unlike the average tee, FIOBOC uses premium quality fabric that fits better and lasts longer.
From personal experience, this shirt will last me for many uses. I also love that it doesn’t make me feel over or underdressed and that I can easily pair it with just about any clothing. It can easily become your everyday staple wear and one that you can easily pull off whether you’re off to the gym, on a dinner date, or even pair it with a blazer for a semi-corporate look.
The FIOBOC StayCool T-shirt 2.0 Curve Hem in Classic Fit is available in White, Black, Sage Grey, Slate Blue, and Khaki colorways. The StayCool tees also come in a Slim Fit design for those who want to show off their lean physique and are available with a Crew or V-Neck collar in the color variants of White, Black, Khaki, Slate Blue, Pacific Blue, and Sage Grey.

Monitoring is a critical part of any software development life cycle (SLDC) and with the rising of microservices architecture and DevOps practices, it becomes more important and more complex. to understand how to monitor microservices we must take a step back to the monolith legacy app and how we used to monitor it.
Three Pyramids Monitoring Philosophy
In a monolith environment we used to get some metrics which tell us how is our application status we usually start with infrastructure the physical hardware the host my application for example:
is my server up?
is my database up?
can web server talk to the database?
Then we move to another step to inquire about our application it self and ask a different question:
is my application process running?
Then we move another level up we monitor the functionality and business capability and that lead to ask different question like: can user place an order?
The past 3 level infrastructure, application, and business capability is called Monitoring Areas
let’s move to different perspective and let’s change the questions a little
let’s check for application health by asking
is my server up ?
and check for application performance by asking
is there is high CPU?
and check about capacity by asking
do i have enough disk space?
by answering these 3 question i get another metrics about health, performance and capacity of the system and this is called Monitoring Concerns.
and there is many to many relation between Monitoring Areas and Monitoring Concerns and it depends of the combination of a question we ask for example:
is my server up ? is there is high CPU? do i have enough disk space?
here i targeting health, performance and capacity of my infrastructure
and if i ask:
is my application generating exceptions? how quickly system process messages? can I handle month end batch job?
here I targeting health, performance and capacity of application layer and if i change the questions again and ask:
can users access checkout cart? are we meeting SLAs? what is the impact of adding another customer?
we targeting the health, performance and capacity of business capability layer.
there is also third permit i want to introduce this the Interaction Types which show how i monitor the system
- passive monitoring: where you access the system dashboard and see current and past values
- Reactive monitoring : where monitoring system alert me when something happens like system send email when queue length is reach 50
- Proactive Monitoring: where monitoring system take action automatically to repair system like when the queue length reach 50 auto scale up another instance to solve the problem
so again it’s many to many relationship between the 3 monitoring pyramids so if I ask the first 3 question in the beginning of article:
is my server up?
is my database up?
can web server talk to the database?
then I monitor about infrastructure health at the point of time and it’s of-course passive monitoring.
so whenever you decide the metric you want to monitor keep in your mind what’s the Area you want to monitor what concern you want to get information about and interaction
these 3 pyramids are a way of thinking about what you are monitoring and interrogate whether it’s monolith system or distributed system that’s useful for you.
What’s Happens when we deal with distributed system?
the problem with distributed system is w start with a single point and we carve off pieces of functionality we communicate with messaging protocols and we will spin up a few others areas we got more than server to watch each of them has it’s own database that’s a lot more infrastructure to worry about on top of that the dynamic nature of microservices what if i scale out one of my services you got 4 instance of it all consuming one input queue or may be also distributed queue does it make sense to monitor queue length. it’s little tricky may be yes you should monitor it may be no. and it get more complicated as you increase the dynamic nature of systems you can run and it will be a lot of information that we can collect and it doesn’t make sense we look at every thing.
Let’s take a look at component of distributed system and see how we can monitor it.
Queue Length is the simplest metric every broker technology or queue technology have some method to provide queue length so what this metric tells us
- Queue length is an indicator of work outstanding
- High queue length doesn’t necessarily mean there is a problem so if it’s high but stable or decreasing or there is some spikes that’s can be good but if it’s increasing per the time it is problem
so for our pyramids we monitoring for infrastructure performance but this not give us a clear insight so let’s look for another important metric here.
Message Processing Time so we should get the time from message be in the front of queue until it finish her task whatever it was upload file via FTP or perform some query on database and finish it and remove the message from queue
- Processing time is the time taken to successfully process the message
- Processing time doesn’t include error handling time
- it’s dependent on queue waiting time finish the process successfully here is important because if error thrown during processing that’s mean shouldn’t be removed it can sent to another pod to handle it again if it’s stable or decreasing or there is some spikes that’s can be good but if it’s increasing per the time it is problem
this lead us to a new concept it’s the Critical Time. it’s time counter from raising our message to reach at the front of the queue the processed and then time stop so what if there is network latency or even the instance that will process message is crashed and restarted and there was many retries to deliver message does critical time stop no it’s actually still counting. from that we can get a formula that describe Critical Time.
Critical Time = Time In Queue + Processing Time + Retries Time + Network Latency Time
and very similar to other metrics if it’s stable or decreasing or there is some spikes that’s can be good but if it’s increasing per the time it is problem
Let’s Put All Together
Each of these metrics represent a part of the puzzle. Looking at them from endpoint’s perspective not per message. Look at them together gives great insight into your system.
Let’s show some cases and analysis them
what we have here? stable critical time a spiky processing time and stable queue length over time. what this tells us about system?
system kind of keeping up with all the messages that are coming in also we are processing them because the queue length isn’t increasing but why processing time is not stable? it could be a number of things cause that jumping around may be there is contention of resources or may there is locking mechanism when handler receive the message it lock until it update some resource it could be also some messages which handle by that end point go quickly and others don’t and you can use that information to isolate the slow ones into their endpoint and scale the new endpoint out independently.
here we have high critical time, high processing time and and kinda medium queue length but all is stable . what this tells us?
the system is keeping up with the capacity but we are at the limit so as soon as any traffic spike that queue length is sky rocket and the critical time will be as well. so this may be a good indication to scale out those resources.
here we have high critical time , low processing time and low queue length. what is this means?
may be there is problem in network because if you remember the equation of critical time include the network latency time also may be a lot of retries t in processing the message we measure processing time for successfully processed message only so the problem connectivity or retries.
so if monitoring distributed system how you there’s communication breakdowns?
actually if you monitoring distributed system the easy way i to do health check and if your services replies with 200 status that’s mean it’s up but communication into distributed system usually done using brokers and when instance send message to the broker it doesn’t know if this message reach their destination or not the easiest option here is when the message reach it’s destination a read receipt is send back. is this good idea ?!! it’s not why ? we create turned our decoupled system into req/res system :( and we got double the message sent over the system.
the solution here is peer-to-peer connectivity tells us if an endpoint is actually processing the message from another.
What’s the tools to use?
we have a bunch of tools can collect metrics for us splunk , kibana, D3 and Grafana all are suitable for monitoring.
How we will collect all this information we sent?
if we talk about critical time or processing time it will be per message metrics when we send a message that message will have it’s processing time and critical time associated with it.
queue length and connectivity you might do checks periodically every minuet or every 5 minuets
How we store this?
A good schema to store this is: metrics type, message type, timestamp, and the value. But this is a very expensive way to store your metrics there are different techniques to do this but it’s out of this lecture scope.
How we display metrics?
We can use ELK stack to do this it will be suitable use case.
Monitoring distributed systems is not easy process and direct proportional with how much dynamic is the system but with understanding the philosophy of monitoring and by choosing the right metrics that help to analysis system and keep it healthy :)

Shonn Greene spent last season working at a furniture company and attending community college in order to straighten out his grades.
He missed spring practices and didn't rejoin the University of Iowa football team until training camp. The Hawkeyes (3-2, 0-1 Big Ten) are undoubtedly pleased he's back.
Showing no rust, the junior is averaging 133 rushing yards per game (sixth-best in the nation), and 6.7 yards per carry.
Though Greene suffered a head injury in Iowa's loss last week to Northwestern, coach Kirk Ferentz said Tuesday the running back is expected to play Saturday against Michigan State (4-1, 1-0).
That game, which will be played in East Lansing, will be a Big Ten throwback - power against power. If the 5-foot-11-inch 235-pound Greene represents the Hawkeyes' devotion to the run game, Michigan State's model is somewhat smaller - but perhaps even more important to his team.
Javon Ringer, a 5-9, 202-pound senior from Dayton, Ohio, ranks second nationally, averaging 179.4 yards per game, and leads the country with 187 carries.
By comparison, Greene has 99 carries, the second-most among Big Ten backs.
"(Ringer) is an extremely well-conditioned athlete," Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said on Tuesday's Big Ten teleconference. "Javon has a mindset, he's always gone hard. He doesn't care if it's winter workouts, summer camp. He has a great ability to sustain his mental toughness. That, as much as vanything, allows him to push through tough times."
If Ringer keeps up his pace of 37.4 carries per game, he would finish a 13-game season with 486 carries, smashing Lorenzo White's 1985 school record of 419.
Recruit picks Michigan
With Michigan's 2009 high school recruiting class nearing capacity (19 players have given verbal commitments, leaving six spots remaining), the Wolverines are now beginning to offer scholarships to high school juniors. One such player, Orlando, Fla. receiver Ricardo Miller, accepted an offer Monday, according to TheWolverine.com. Miller, who plays for Dr. Phillips High School, is expected to play outside receiver at Michigan. He's the first commitment in the program's Class of 2010.
Kellen Lewis is Indiana's quarterback - except when he becomes a running back or wide receiver. A third-year starter at quarterback, Lewis explored those other roles in last week's 42-29 loss to Michigan State.
Early in the game, Indiana coach Bill Lynch sent backup QB Ben Chappell onto the field and kept Lewis there, too. On the first drive featuring the pair, Lewis had 19 passing yards, 13 rushing yards and 17 receiving yards.
For the game, Lewis passed for 177 yards, while Chappell threw for 107.
"I think it will probably be part of our package," Lynch said. "We started using it in the preseason, and didn't pull it out the first three weeks."
The Hoosiers (2-2, 0-1) next chance to experiment with the offense comes this week at Minnesota.
About those Gophers, there were plenty of things that went wrong during the team's 1-11 season in 2007. One problem was turnovers: Minnesota tied for the league lead by committing 29, and gained just 14, the lowest number in the Big Ten.
It's a new year, Minnesota has a 4-1 record and the turnover numbers are starkly different. The Gophers have gained a league-leading 14 turnovers and committed a league-low five.

HVAC Issues That Can Seriously Damage Your Home
by Guest Post on Jun 10, 2019
You walk inside after a hot and tiring day, expecting to feel the cool air and get some relief. Instead, you feel a burst of warm air when you open the door. It's almost as hot as outside! What went wrong?
There are many reasons your HVAC unit could stop working. Proper maintenance can prevent some of these problems before they start, and there are some things you can do yourself to get your unit functioning properly again.
The very nature of an HVAC system means that the unit needs air to work. So what happens if no air gets to the unit? It stops working properly. The filter keeps dirt and other debris from getting inside by blocking it on the surface of the filter. With a lot of buildups, air can no longer pass through the filter. To prevent a problem, replace your filter about every month, or at least as often as the manufacturer recommends.
Another way airflow might be restricted is if the condenser's coils are dirty. Because the condenser is outside, it can get clogged with dirt, leaves, or grass. You should clean the coils at least every year. If you are not comfortable cleaning the coils yourself, have the service done by a trained technician.
If you notice lower air pressure coming from the vents, check the filter and coils and take care of that maintenance if either is dirty.
One of the ways your air conditioner works is by removing moisture from the air, because water holds more heat. Your unit condenses that water and drains it. Sometimes, the HVAC unit's drain pipe or trap can clog. If this happens, water doesn't drain efficiently, and it continues to collect in the unit's drain pan. This can cause unsightly and unhealthy mold growth or an overflow that might cause water damage. You can help prevent this by cleaning the drain line regularly.
In most cases, the HVAC technician who installs the unit puts in a sensor during installation. This helps prevent a clogged drainage system from causing damage by cutting the power when the pan is in danger of overflow. If your unit's power turns off, look for the condensate pan under the unit. If there is standing water, drainage may be the problem. If you can, clean the line. Once the clog is cleared and the water can drain properly, the unit should start working again.
When to Call
You can do a lot of the maintenance, like replacing a filter, by yourself. But when do you know if you have a problem you can fix or if you need to call for a repair? Generally, if the problem is obvious, and if you have the knowledge and tools to fix it, you can.
For example, if the circuit breaker trips, you can reset it. But if you cannot find the problem, or if it's complicated, you should definitely call for service from an HVAC technician.

THIS KIT IS A REISSUE OF A PREVIOUS ECARDMODELS.COM LISTING
Highly detailed design by Cor van Haasteren. This kit comes with darker blue and lighter blue lettering.
Designed to be a replacement for the most successful airliner, the DC-3, the Fokker F27 Friendship. The F27 prototype first flew in 1955 which led to some minor design corrections including the capability to carry up to 32 passengers and receiving the more powerful Rolls-Royce Dart Mk 528 engines. Seen as a useful aircraft, Fokker entered into a licensing deal with Fairchild Aircraft to build the F27 in the United States. In 1958, the first Fokker designed F27’s were delivered to the European airline companies while the U.S. version built by Fairchild Aircraft took its first flight. Even today, there remain over 140 civil operators (in passenger airline or cargo capacities) and at least 35 military operators of the F27 world-wide.
This paper model kit represents the Fokker/Fairchild F27 Friendship as it appeared while in operation with Hughes Airwest Airlines in which the fuselage was painted in a bright yellow scheme.
Paper Model Details: This 1:50 scale paper model kit contains well over 250 parts on 13 pages; including options to build with fully detailed landing gear, simple landing gear, moveable flaps, formers, instruction on making rotating props, stacked wheel design, joining strips included, detailed instructional diagrams (6 pages) and typed English instructions (3 pages). This model can be printed on A4 or Letter sized pages.
Degree of Difficulty:
3/5 if building with simple flaps, simple landing gear or in-fligh configuration
5/5 if building with detailed landing gear, rotating props and optional movable flaps.
If you enjoy building this paper model, please contribute a review!

|Motion Artifact Correction|
An Alternative Concept of Non-Sequence-Interfering
Patient Respiration Monitoring

Patient motion is still challenging in MRI, especially in the abdominal region. The use of advanced motion artifact reduction techniques can improve diagnostic image quality. Motion sensing and correction approaches cope with this problem. However, e.g. navigators influence the steady state of SSFP sequences and are, therefore, not inherently compatible with this technique. This paper describes the application of respiratory motion detection from changes of the coil properties for steady state imaging, using a simple retrospective gating approach. Motion information is obtained in real-time. The method is compatible with almost any pulse sequence and no extra patient preparation is necessary.
Prospective Self-Gating for Simultaneous Compensation
of Cardiac and Respiratory Motion

A prospective self-gated approach for time-efficient free breathing cardiac imaging was successfully implemented and evaluated. Motion data needed for synchronization were accurately extracted in real-time from the repeatedly acquired k-space center thereby eliminating the need for external cardiac and respiratory signal detection. Using real-time filtering, cardiac and respiratory variations were separated and used for prospective triggering and gating. Image quality obtained with the proposed method was found to be comparable to the ECG triggered breathheld acquisitions as well as retrospective self-gating methods. The scan efficiency however could be significantly increased with respect to retrospective self-gating.
A New Respiratory Gating Technique for
Whole Heart Cine MRI
Sergio Andres Uribe1, Tarinee Tangcharoen1, Reza Razavi1, Tobias Schaeffter1
1Kings College London, London, UK
In this work we present a new respiratory gating technique for whole heart cine imaging. In this approach, we integrate the acquisition of an extra “slice navigator” within a b-SSFP sequence. The slice navigator in conjunction with a dedicated coil to read out the navigator signal makes the respiratory navigation more robust and sensitive to motion. A breathing signal was derived and used to gate the scan, which drastically reduced motion artifacts. The acquisition requires minimal planning and allows us to reformat the data in any view. The method represents a step forward for an easier cardiac MR examination.
Spherical Navigator Echoes Using GRAPPA for Rapid 3D
Rigid-Body Motion Detection

The spherical navigator echo (SNAV) is ideal for tracking rigid body motion in all six degrees of freedom simultaneously. However, the relatively long time required to acquire a spherical navigator echo limits the utility of SNAV for short TR pulse sequence used in cardiac and functional MRI. A parallel imaging approach, based on the generalized auto calibrating partially parallel acquisition (GRAPPA) algorithm, was implemented to speed up SNAV acquisition. Using this SNAV-GRAPPA approach, hemispherical SNAV trajectories could be acquired as fast as 2.5 ms (at a bandwidth of 125kHz) with and acceleration factor R=4 while maintaining accuracy.
Real-Time Navigator Processing Using Kalman Filtering
Pascal Spincemaille1, Thanh Dang Nguyen1, Martin Prince1, Yi Wang1
1Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, USA
Free breathing self-gated CINE acquisitions mostly rely on retrospective gating. A better suppression of motion artifacts and higher scanning efficiency can be achieved using prospective data acquisition gating. This abstract proposes the use of a commonly used real time filtering technique called the Kalman filter for processing noisy navigator data in real time. The Kalman filter adaptively estimates motion and suppresses measurement noise using Bayesian statistics and a motion model. Its ability to reduce noise and separate cardiac and respiratory components is studied in simulations, in-vivo data and in a free-breathing prospectively self-gated CINE SSFP acquisition of the heart.
Cardiac Gating Free of Interference with
Electro-Magnetic Fields at 1.5T, 3.0T and 7.0T
Tobias Frauenrath1, 2, Sebastian Kozerke2, Peter Boesiger2, Thoralf Niendorf1
1RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany; 2University and ETH Zurich, Switzerland
In clinical MRI cardiac motion is commonly dealt with using ECG based synchronization. ECG is prone to interference with electromagnetic fields and to magneto-hydrodynamic effects, in particular at (ultra)high magnetic field strengths. For all these reasons, a non-invasive, fully MR compatible cardiac monitoring and gating approach which presents immunity to electro-magnetic field interferences is conceptually appealing. For this purpose a cardiac monitoring and gating device that employs acoustic signals was proposed. The chief aim of the current study is to explore the suitability of acoustic cardiac gating (ACG) for (ultra)high magnetic field strengths.
A Novel Technique Used to Detect Swallowing in Volume
Selective TSE for Carotid Artery Wall Imaging

Atherosclerotic carotid artery disease and the associated sequelae are the commonest cause of morbidity and mortality from cerebrovascular events in the Western world. Various MRI techniques have been established to image the vessel wall and to characterize plaque. Significant work to reduce scan times without compromising image quality has been undertaken. Artifacts associated with swallowing and heart rate variability lead to blurring and a reduction in vessel wall clarity. Using a novel anatomically positioned device linked with a k-space data rejection algorithm, we can demonstrate the improvement in the image quality.

Subject motion is a fundamental problem in MRI. We present here continuing work on prospective motion correction using micro RF-coils for fast motion tracking, followed by real-time scan geometry update. In particular, this work provides evidence, in quantitative metrics, that highlights the potential improvements in image quality allowed by this technique.
Velocity-Compensated DENSE MRI

1University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia , USA
In DENSE, tissue displacement during the time between displacement encoding and the excitation RF pulse is intended to be measured. However, phase shifts unrelated to the desired displacement-induced shift can occur during the displacement-encoding period and the readout period due to tissue velocity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the errors caused by tissue velocity during these two periods on DENSE displacement estimates, and to show that these errors can be eliminated using velocity-compensated (first moment nulled) gradient waveforms.
Reduction of Flow Artifacts in Balanced SSFP Imaging

1National Institutes of Health, DHHS, Bethesda, Maryland, USA; 2NHLBI, National Institutes of Health, DHHS, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Balanced SSFP imaging often suffers from severe artifacts due to (e.g. blood) spins that flow from one spectral band into an adjacent phase-opposed band. The flowing spins yield oscillating transient signals for the following several hundred TRs and hence imaging artifacts. The S5FP sequence provides balanced SSFP-like contrast for on-resonance spins, but destroys magnetization depending on the phase of the magnetization at TE = TR/2. Here we demonstrate that S5FP is an effective, robust and efficient method to suppress flow artifacts in balanced SSFP imaging.

COVID-19 Scan for Feb 11, 2021
Pre-, asymptomatic COVID cases lead to half of transmissions, study finds
Presymptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases contributed at least 50% of transmissions during New York City’s first COVID surge, according to a study published yesterday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers applied a stochastic epidemiologic model that integrated daily changes in testing capacity to New York City’s case and serologic data from Mar 1 to Jun 1, 2020, and Mar 8 to Apr 19, 2020, respectively. While asymptomatic transmission rates are still unknown, the researchers report that asymptomatic and symptomatic cases had reproduction rates of at least 3 in every reasonable simulation—above the estimated 2 to 3 rate reported in many cities where interventions were already in place. (Reproduction rates are the number of secondary cases caused by a primary case.)
If asymptomatic infections transmit at similar rates compared with symptomatic infections, they write, the reproductive number for all COVID-19 cases is 3.2 to 4.4. However, if asymptomatic infections transmit at a lesser rate, then symptomatic cases may have a reproductive value of 3.9 to 8.1, which could support superspreader observations.
Testing policies and data should be more transparent to strengthen epidemiologic models, the researchers write. “Testing only symptomatic cases can result in at least a fourfold increase in the IFR [infection fatality ratio] that is calculated,” the researchers write. “Limitations in testing capacity may also impact the estimated IFR.”
Regarding New York City, the results indicated that COVID-19 transmissions began in February, which could be attributed to either the lag time between infection onset and hospitalization or because of a dosage-dependent effect in which more SARS-CoV-2 contact could lead to higher disease severity. The researchers also found that when the city implemented its lockdown, COVID transmission rate dropped 76.0% to 87.6%.
Even though the study could only estimate reproduction rates, the researchers say, “The strong consistent contribution to community transmission from cases without symptoms observed across scenarios supported by the data should be considered when formulating public health intervention strategies.”
Feb 10 Proc Natl Acad Sci study
Factoring in chills, other COVID-19 symptoms may optimize testing
While fever, cough, loss of smell, and loss of taste are the four classic COVID-19 symptoms, data from the REal-time Assessment of Community Transmission (REACT) study indicate that approximately 60% of infected people don’t display these symptoms in the week leading up to their test.
The study, published yesterday as a non–peer-reviewed preprint by Imperial College London, used sample swab and questionnaire data from 1,147,349 UK residents ages 5 and up. The researchers found that, from June through December 2020, the presence of one of the classic symptoms had a 5.5% positive predictive rate, and experiencing one of the other 22 symptoms had a 0.8% positive predictive rate. In January 2021, when B117 accounted for about 86% of cases, classic symptoms had a 20.7% positive predictive rate and other symptoms had a 2.5% predictive rate.
Overall, chills were a common symptom across all ages, but Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator stability selection also indicated that certain age-groups were more likely to display headaches (children 5 to 17 years), appetite loss (18 and older), and muscle aches (18 to 54). When comparing pre- and post-B117 dominance, the researchers noted that the variant’s presence may have increased the prevalence of coughing and decreased the prevalence for loss of smell.
The researchers say if everyone with at least one classic symptom was tested, only 55% of all symptomatic cases would have been identified in January 2021. If test strategies were adapted to accommodate the stability selection results, though, 76% of all symptomatic cases would have been identified in January.
“The ~40% increase in case detection (above that for at-least-one-of-four symptoms) would involve a 2.7-fold increase in the number of tests allocated to the symptomatic population in England,” the researchers write.
“These new findings suggest many people with COVID-19 won’t be getting tested—and therefore won’t be self-isolating—because their symptoms don’t match those used in current public health guidance to help identify infected people,” Paul Elliott, MBBS, PhD, said in an Imperial College London article.

Crime in Togo has increased in recent years, especially in the capital and in the largest cities.
The crime that affects tourists is usually money-motivated, in the form of theft and armed robbery. Events happen both daytime and evening. Travelers are encouraged to take reasonable precautions and to show particular care in choosing a place of residence and location. Luggage should be kept under close supervision at airports, bus stations etc.
Togo is not particularly prone to natural disasters, but during the rainy season (May – October) the amount of rainfall can be so severe that floods occur, especially in northern Togo.
Elsewhere in the country, there can be so heavy rainfall that roads are flooded and air traffic is hampered.
The Embassy in Abuja (Nigeria) is responsible for Togo and can be contacted on +234 9291 5429 or +234 9291 5487. The embassy is open at. 8-16 Monday through Thursday and 8-13 on Friday. Outside the opening hours of the embassy, the public can contact the UD’s 24-hour operating center on +47 23 95 00 00 or firstname.lastname@example.org
Please note that entry regulations may change. The Foreign Service is not responsible if the following information on entry regulations or visa requirements is changed at short notice. It is the responsibility of the traveler to ensure that travel documents are valid for entry and to familiarize themselves with the current entry rules for each country.
Norwegians must have a visa to Togo. It cannot be expected that visas can be obtained at a border crossing. Visas can be applied for at eg. Togo Embassy in Berlin. This should be done well in advance of departure. Access to longer work stays in Togo must be checked with the employer or the client.
Coronavirus (covid-19): The virus has been detected in Togo. Togo has closed all borders including all flights in and out of the country. Norwegian citizens should seek to stay informed of any flight options that may be set up. The possibility of health care is very limited or non-existent. The ability of the Embassy (Nigeria) to provide consular assistance is very limited.
The health services in the country are generally weak and have poor capacity, even in the big cities. Norwegian travelers should keep abreast of the development of the corona virus. Follow local authorities’ advice, guidance and instructions on how to deal with the situation, including restrictions on entry and exit and rules on arrival from abroad. Relevant information can be found on the government’s website and on twitter. Authorities also provide information through local media and it may be necessary to contact the airline in advance of departure.
You can find more information and guidance from the Norwegian health authorities on the website of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. See also UD’s answers to frequently asked questions about travel and coronavirus.
Normally, yellow fever vaccine is required for entry. Other travel vaccines are recommended and should be checked by a doctor. For current travel vaccines, check the Public Health Institute’s website.
Prevention tablets for malaria are recommended.
It is recommended to boil and filter water and wash fruits and vegetables in chlorine solution or HIV virus is widespread. There are private clinics of acceptable standard for treating the most common diseases in the big cities. Hospitals abroad are recommended for more serious cases. Therefore, it is important to have good travel insurance.
There are restaurants of acceptable standard in the larger cities.
According to allcitycodes, area code for phone calls to Togo is +228.
In general, there is no need to pay special attention to local customs and clothing, beyond normal respectful behavior. For visiting women in Muslim areas in the north, half-length or long skirts or pants are recommended. It should be taken into account during religious holidays.
There are severe penalties for crime, including drug possession and punishable by illegal import and export of goods.
Common administrative and national languages are French, which is mastered by most with a certain minimum level of education. However, the local variants of French can be difficult to understand for a first-time visitor. In addition, there are a large number of other languages in Togo. The local main languages are ewe, mine and kaby¨¦.
There is 220 volts of AC power in the country. Voltage varies greatly and power outages occur frequently. There is mobile coverage in most of the country, at least in urban areas and along the busiest roads.
Banks and public offices normally open at. 8 and closes around 5:30 pm. Shops are often open late into the evening and Saturdays.
Togo mainly has a cash-based economy, and the use of credit cards is mostly only possible at the big hotels in Lom¨¦. However, the use of credit cards is not recommended due to. the danger of fraud.
Norway and Togo are in the same time zone (GMT + one hour), but when there is summer time in Norway there is an hour time difference (Norway one hour ahead).
Climate: It is a dry season from November to March, while it is rainy season from April to October.
Public transport is not recommended. Car hire with driver is possible and should be booked in advance through reliable contacts.

Musical quest from ouija board to rostrum
Reviewed by Madeleine Kingsley
SCHUMANN’S LOST concerto and a virtuoso femme fatale keep you gripped and guessing in Ghost Variations. Set in 1930s London, this musical mystery by Jessica Duchen strikes a hot-blooded tune with grace notes from beyond the grave. The story centres on Jelly d’Aranyi, Hungarian, part-Jewish violinist and siren muse of Bartok, Ravel and Elgar.
Pressed to participate in a Ouija board sitting, Jelly receives a message purportedly from Robert Schumann’s spirit, entreating her to find his unknown violin concerto in D minor.
Jelly is shaken by and sceptical of her own eerie experience. But pressure mounts from her sister, the spirit-sensitive Adila and a titled family friend.
Jelly (pronounced Yeli) is no longer dazzling audiences as she once did, bowing the Tzigane rhapsody dedicated to her by Ravel. Two of her lovers are dead, a third, and a possible fourth only waiting in the wings. She is troubled by Europe’s tension. So the lure of playing detective and of reviving her glory days by performing the piece as a world first, sets Jelly off like a conductor’s nod.
There ensues an impassioned quest that will engage the ears of Chamberlain, Hitler and a scornfully disbelieving British press.
Ghost Variations reads like a bohemian thriller freshly imagined by Duchen, herself a pianist and musical scholar. It is, however a whole lot stranger than fiction: Duchen’s novel is inspired by the real-life events surrounding the exotic Jelly d’Aranyi, to whom Vaughan Williams and Holst also dedicated works. Jelly did indeed spark the search for Schumann’s concerto, which has its own heady history. The D Minor piece was not exactly lost, but lay unpublished and unplayed for 80 years in the Prussian State library: Clara Schumann, the composer’s widow suppressed it on the grounds that it betrayed the composer’s incipient instability — he later died, delusional in an asylum. Jelly raises Schumann’s profile at the key moment when Goebbels, having banned the concerto by the baptised Jew Felix Mendelssohn, can resurrect echt German music as propaganda. Duchen has all this remarkably obscure material at her fingertips, fleshing it out with a strong sense of social history and the
Robert Schumann fashionable refinements of this prewar age. Pianist Myra Hess makes a cameo appearance in a cloud of cigarette smoke, evoking an arty feminism that ranks music above marriage. Norman Hartnell gowns, tango shoes, naturist beaches and the ménage a trois help to conjure this period of “psychical” enthusiasm for darkened rooms and the question: “Is anybody there?”
The response from Jelly’s own world, never mind the next, was that she was far from alone — just one of a temperamental trio claiming first rights to the Schumann. While she insisted the privilege was exclusively hers, Germany pushed forward their own Georg Kulenkampff to take first bow. The young Menuhin jockeyed to win the concerto for his Carnegie Hall comeback after a year off. And music publisher, Schotts, stirred the situation with multiple agendas. Duchen’s orchestration of such intrigue merits great applause.
Madeleine Kingsley is a freelance reviewer
(HarperCollins HQ, £7.99) is a powerful novel about an unlikely female friendship. Her two protagonists, Astrid and Noa, are vividly drawn and, though polar opposites in background and personality, have an enduring connection upon which Jenoff has created a bold and compelling narrative.
Astrid, a trapeze artist from a successful Jewish circus family, is cast out by her family when she falls in love with and marries a German officer. Nevertheless, she remains happy for a while, but when the Nazis tighten their stranglehold on Germany, her husband divorces her and she is forced to flee for her life.
On returning to her family home, she finds them gone. In desperation, she joins Neuhoff’s Circus, a neighbouring, rival troupe of waifs and strays. She, by contrast, is a feisty, confident woman, and makes a success of her new role.
Noa is a young and naïve Dutch gentile whose own brief liaison with a German soldier leaves her pregnant. Her family’s horror forces her to give up her baby for adoption and try to survive alone. While working as a cleaner in a small-town railway station, she discovers a railcar full of
Jewish babies and, full of longing for her own lost child, she takes one and goes on the run. After a treacherous, freezing cold journey, she, too, arrives at Neuhoff’s Circus, where she and the child are taken in.
Despite Astrid’s doubts and resistance, Neuhoff offers Noa a job as a trapeze artist and Astrid is ordered to provide the training. Noa and Astrid must learn to trust one another, in more ways than one, and what follows tests loyalty to its limits.
The Orphan’s Tale is based on real events and is meticulously researched. Characters and situations are both skilfully realised.
It was in the Archives of Yad Vashem that Jenoff discovered two remarkable stories that inspired her to write the book.
She writes, in an author’s note, that, “the first was a heartbreaking account of the ‘unknown children’ — a boxcar full of babies ripped from their families and headed for a concentration camp.
“The second story was about a German circus that had sheltered Jews.”
The Orphan’s Tale is densely plotted but this does not prevent it from being emotionally sincere, and exceptionally readable.

Ever since I shifted to Bangalore, back in 2002, Hampi had always been on my bucket list of places to travel to. But for some reason, this never materialized, as I always had some emergency crop up.
Hampi once a magnificent capital ruled by Vijayanagara Empire, the last Hindu Kingdom. Now echos a glorious past of how sophisticated the engineering feat was. From its memorial structures, temples, pillared halls to the sacred shrines. It is now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I have split my 72 hours in Hampi, into a five-part series. The first part is my review of the Evolve Back Resorts, Hampi. And the other four important trails in Hampi, you must see – Virupaksha Trail; Vithalapura Trail; The Raya Trail & Tungabhadra Trek
– Getting There –
Drive – The distance between Bangalore and Hampi is about 350 kms.
Plane – Fly to Hubli Airport. Hire a cab to drive to Hampi which is about 143km.
Bus – Overnight bus journey to Hospet via Bangalore. Then hire a taxi to Hampi.
Train – Arrive Hospet railway station, which is about 13 kms from Hampi.
I had the car pick me up, and drove down from Bangalore. The journey lasted about 6 hours. If you are driving, prefer taking the early hours of the morning to get to the resort in time for lunch. There is only one restaurant you come across called Hotel Kamat, so make the most of grabbing a bite there. The rest of the journey has pretty much got these street side vendors serving tea or snacks.
The drive from Bangalore was a smooth one, time flew past fast. The drive was just a breath of fresh air, with massive boulders and unspoiled landscapes all the way. The phone’s network does go intermittent thought-out my journey. And there is little to no connectivity closer to or around the resort. Best time to visit Hampi is from October to March.
– The Resort –
Evolve Back Resorts, Hampi in Hampi, is just 4 km from the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Arriving at the Venue, is a massive fort entrance (still work in progress). Once you enter it, you drive down the stone-paved boulevard. And then you catch a glimpse of the splendid work of architecture. There it stands in all its glory and is a replica of the one of the famed palaces of the Vijayanagara Kingdom.
It is an exclusive high-end luxury resort with just 45 rooms. The Indo-Islamic styled architecture with its historic grandeur blends in with modern-day luxury. There is history written all over. From the murals on the walls, to the lights and high ceilings. The stone boulders that sit in the lobby.
There are 3 types of suites, and private pool villas – each with its common yet shared theme of luxury and tastefulness.
Zenana – Palace Suite – This is the most luxurious suite at the resort. Located in the main palace and takes its inspiration from the Queen’s quarters. These spacious suites come with a separate living space, a dining area and a large bedroom. A private balcony, an en-suite bathroom and the feature is the private Jacuzzi. This is perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway.
Nilaya – Terrace Suite – Is another spacious suite that offers similar features as that of the Zenana Palace Suite. The addition here is a large private terrace. Ideal for couples who prefer extra space and privacy!
Nivasa – Deluxe Suite – Similar take on the other two suites, here the size of the room is less, yet spacious. The bonus with this one is the private Jacuzzi is set up on the sit out area or balcony.
Jal Mahal – These individual villas come with spacious living and sleeping area. The pièce de résistance of this villa is the open air shower. For those seeking a romantic getaway it cannot get any better than this. A private pool, Jaccuzi, a romantic gazebo and your own courtyard.
The lovely staff greeted me with a courteous “Namaskara”. A warm smile, a refreshing welcome drink and a tikka added to the welcome charm. I received the itinerary for the rest of my stay. The resort had planned some trails with a tour guide. (more in the coming blog). Without any further ado I got whisked away to my room. Walking down the hall way, the size of the property dawned on me. It was huge and one could get lost as easy. I stayed at one of the Nivasa Deluxe Suite. The main highlight was the Infinity Pool view. I felt like a kid, at summer camp!
– The Room –
The Suite was airy and had a rustic urban decor that exemplified royalty. The main highlight being the custom made 4 poster bed, that just called out to me to jump right in. Earthy colors all around, with natural sunlight that sneaked in to give it a dreamy look. The dark curtains help provide privacy and keep the light out for a more restful sleep.
The room comes equipped with a television, a mini fridge. The resort follows the principle of “Responsible Luxury.” They do not have plastic water bottles in the room. Instead a Reverse Osmosis tap. This dispenses fresh drinking water anytime of the day. The bathroom is huge, I was just excited to dive into the Jacuzzi. But it had to wait, as I was too famished from my road trip and just wanted to freshen up and head for lunch.
– Food & Drinks –
The resort has two restaurants. “Tuluva” named after the third Hindu Dynasty that ruled the Vijayanagara Empire). An all day dining restaurant serves up both Continental and Indian Cuisine. There is something to fulfill every demanding palate. This restaurant, serves various South Indian dishes related to Hampi. The bonus of dining here is the pool view and the gentle breeze that blows across. They serve a la carte, and buffet over the weekends.
The other one called “Bahmani” serves up some lip smacking Nawabi Cuisine. And is open only for dinner. The setting was beautiful, it was a starry night. And the candle light dinner was just perfect after my rejuvenating massage.
– The Pool –
The Olympic sized infinity pool just rocks your senses. The stunning design resembles the aqueduct fed temple tanks of the Vijayanagar Empire. It is about 4 feet in dept, so no diving. The resort also has a separate pool for below 18 year old, which is next to the play room.
It is just perfect to unwind and soak up the sun. I lay there immersed in the pool and drifted to another realm by the sheer beauty of the weather and the calm around me. I had the opportunity to swim and pose for photos in one of the private villas. As you can see this is just like a private island sojourn.
The photographs are from the main infinity pool by the Tuluva Restaurant, and the other is from one of the private pools at the Jay Mahal Villa.
– The Spa –
Lotus Mahal – The Ayurveda Spa – No weekend retreat is complete without an invigorating Spa. The Ayurveda Spa, harnesses the ancient techniques to heal the body. The experience is bound to leave you rejuvenated and revitalized. The treatments vary from herbal baths, oil massages, to beauty treatments.
I loved the tranquil setting, it was regal. The rooms were bright and the pond flowing outside gave it a refreshing feel and a sense of calm. After filling in the form, and talking to the therapist. I told them I was an insomniac and was just exhausted.
My treatment was the infamous body massage called Abhyanga. Two therapists, an hour, where the entire body gets massaged using herbal medicated oils. The Abhyanga improves tissue strength and blood circulation, helps induce sleep and removes toxins. Post the massage, I had to sit in this wooden box, an ancient steamer for about 15mins. My head stuck out, so it was a bit weird but a fun experience. I was also given two tablets to take before bed time, to clean the toxins from the inside.
Next up, was an Ayurveda facial called Soundaryavardhini. I am not one who gets around getting a facial, the sheer though of it being an Ayurveda massage tempted me to proceed. Benefit of this treatment is the herbal ingredients used help remove dead skin. Reviving the skin tone and leaving you with a healthy glow. I had the masseurs take a pic of me(the last image below). Underneath the white sheet is a tub of hot water, I was sweating in no time. Any toxins left had dripped away. This treatment has two therapists and total time taken is an hour and half.
– My Final Thoughts –
Evolve Back Resorts, Hampi is the next upcoming holiday destination. In the coming months, the external work should get completed. My experience with Evolve Back Resorts, Hampi has to be the best so far. I fell in love with Hampi, and was happy I finally got to visit this place. As a solo traveler, I had a great time to reflect back and not have a cares in the world.
The staff each and everyone always had a smile on their face and assist me with anything I needed. Each time you are bound to pass a staff member around the resort, they greet with “Namaskara”. By the end I too went around greeting everyone the same way. The tour guide Bhanu, hats off to him for being my official photographer and his first time with a DSLR that too. Resident Manager Abhishek, he ensure my stay was at ease.
This is a legendary place, and perfect for couples and families alike. I left feeling rejuvenated. I will go back there once again, this time with some friends. The best parting gift was a box of spices from their own plantations. A memorable and thoughtful gift indeed!
This place has lot of monkeys that visit daily rummaging for food. So ensure to keep all the doors and windows locked at all time. During my stay I encountered them. But lucky for me I was indoors.

Pros Light, Easy to navigate menus, easy to clean, durable, great features
Cons None at the moment.
Summary If you are looking for a base line/entry level DSLR, then this is the camera for you! Period!
easy of use
Cons none i can think of
Summary i bought this as a backup for my nikon d80 , i like the photo's from others i have seen hope to show a lot of images from it
will ad more when i actually have it and used it
Pros Sensor cleaning system, in-camera retouching, built in flash, long battery life, 3.0fps RAW burst, 3D Color Matrix Metering II, Active D Lightning, Easy to read screen, custom menu, compact and light, sturdy build, big verity of accessories
Cons No time-laps, video, live preview or panorama futures, shutter lag and viewfinder blackout when taking a shot, only 3 AF points, No status LCD, Eye sensor (turns off LCD display), Slower with noise reduction system on
Summary I had the camera for almost a year and it performs pretty good, no mechanical or software based problems whatsoever. The camera went through the desert, rain, and once left outside for 3 days in the winter weather, and it's still performs as I just took it out from the box. I would expect little more futures from the entry level DSLR like in camera panorama or video option as the point and shot cameras do have them. The camera menu is very ease to navigate, the screen very easy to read and camera controls are in right places, Active D lightning does a great job. The camera support RAW, JPEG and RAW+JPEG formats, the 3 fps in RAW burst is awesome, but if you shooting football game where more frames per second are needed JPEG shooting mode is recommended. You can find a big variety of products on the market that will fit the camera, from lenses to battery grips and external flash units. If you have a Eye-Fe wifi card it will work hand to hand with the camera. Surprisingly this camera is a hybrid between entry level and pro-summer cameras. If you getting in to photography field I recommend this camera before you get a professional one. The camera will definitely change the way you take pictures, and show you a new wold as you see it. Next are the notes to Nikon (not that they read them)
Features like read out LCD and port for wired remote would be a great plus, also a built in electronic level (like canon 7d, or ipods with gravity sensors) would eliminate a need of bubble levels on tripods and cameras. In camera 360 panorama would be awesome future that no one has, time lapse and video support is a must!
Pros Great shots, and plenty of options yet easy to use
Cons Image stabilization placed on the lens rather than the body

Mandirigma Magnesite Necklace
This beautiful piece is a powerful neck adornment is made with the intention to release warrior energy. It features natural white and red dyed magnesite stones with a 24k gold plated zamak toggle. They are designed inspired by ancestral pre-colonial jewelry and adornments. May they form roots and breathe remembrance.
This magnesite is dyed red, as it is naturally a colorless, almost white stone. Red symbolizes vitality, courage, love and intensity. While magnesite allows for attunement, the combination can connect us to visualizing our dynamic desires and highest self.
Each adornment has been smoke cleansed with anglem (burned twined cotton cloth) infused with dragon's blood resin in order to release and drive away malevolent spirits or energies.

The local press reported in mid-week that Fabricio Coloccini would be playing in today’s game but not only did he not play but he wasn’t even with the squad.
And with the papers continually reporting he is wanted by Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew, then it could be that he and Newcastle have decided to part ways – which is maybe why he didn’t even make the trip to Sheffield today.
Fabricio Coloccini arriving for West Ham game
It could have been his last game for Newcastle.
Colo is still the captain, and it was interesting that Daryl Janmaat was names the captain for the day – and he is the favorite among Newcastle fans to become the new captain at the club.
Colo has been troubled by an Achilles injury which is why he’s missed games up to this point, but he is fit again and was expected to start.
With one year left on his contract it was thought that if we get two top class center-backs in over the summer months, then it might be a good time for Colo to leave – and maybe even get a two year deal at Palace.
And yesterday in the Chronicle there was a report that Newcastle would offer both Papiss Cisse and Fab Coloccini for sale, and the club still need a clear-out of players this summer.
We may be reading too much into this – but maybe we can get a clarification on the situation from Steve McClaren.

In 2018, Largo adopted the goal to power all municipal operations with at least 50 percent renewable energy by 2030 and 100 percent renewable energy by 2035. To advance this goal, an Alternative Fuel Vehicle Purchasing Policy was approved in 2020, and the City continues to expand charging stations at current and planned city facilities to accommodate the growing fleet. A level three DC fast charging station is installed for city and public use next to the Central Park Performing Arts Center. On average, DC fast chargers can charge an electric vehicle up to 80 percent within 30 minutes to 1 hour. All of the City’s public charging stations combined can service up to 13 vehicles at once and the City continues to look for opportunities to strengthen this local infrastructure.

For TV actor Pranav Sachdeva starting his career in acting was not so easy as his father wanted him to be an advocate but he was always passionate about the profession. The actor shares about beginning his acting career with theatre, doing TV and getting an opportunity to share screen space with megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, and Boman Irani in ‘Uunchai’.
He recalls: “I have been doing professional theatre for around 14-15 years, my first camera gig was for TV around a decade ago and then finally this film happened. I have grown up aspiring to be on the silver screen. When the late actor/director Ravi Basvani saw me in a play at Modern School and he told me, ‘You are good, you should join the National School Of Drama.’ “
His father, who was himself a lawyer, made sure that he completed his LLB. “But my dad wanted me to be an advocate so I could take care of our family’s litigation. I watched the film with him in the theatre and I hope I made him proud,” he says.
Pranav, who is known for TV show ‘Zindagi Dot.Com’, web series ‘Hadh’ says working with Big B was a lifetime achievement for him.
He recalls shooting with him: “I had to sit right next to him in the scene. I just folded my hands, and didn’t dare to say anything else. I was nervous and sweating. Later, Mr Bachchan made me comfortable, he didn’t have to but he was kind enough to make a young actor feel so included. It was an honour and a blessing to be sharing the screen with the Mahanayak of Indian cinema.”
Talking about bagging Anupam Kher’s son’s role in the film, he says: “I remember Covid was peaking again and work had taken a back seat, especially the entertainment industry was badly hit. It was during that time I received a call from casting director Mukesh Chhabra’s office. I must have auditioned in early 2021 and received a call back almost after one year. I was thrilled to know that I was shortlisted for a Sooraj Barjatya film. When I met Sooraj sir I was blown away by his humility and grace.”
He adds, revealing about his future project, saying: “Currently, I am touring with the Primetime theatre company’s play ‘Devika Rani’ directed by Lillette Dubey.”
