Spyderco C10JBBP Endura Folding Knife 3.75" VG10 Damascus Steel Blade, Blue Jigged Bone Handles, Sprint Run
SP10JBBP: Endura Damascus/Jigged Bone Sprint
One of the most purchased Spyderco models is the Endura. Initially released in the early 1990s, it continues improving and is still the gold-standard of workingmen and working women's lightweight reliable folders. It's never been elegant or dressy but epitomizes function and cutting performance. That is about to change.
Spyderco announces the release of a limited number Sprint Run of Enduras featuring blue-colored jigged-bone handle scales, blue titanium bolsters and a PlainEdge Japanese VG-10 Damascus blade.
A state-of-the-art cobalt stainless steel, VG-10 takes a highly retentive cutting edge. The steel is produced through a process of stacking layers of erosive and non-erosive material over a VG-10 core center. The erosive layers are hard martensite stainless steel and the non-erosive layers are anti-corrosion nonferrous metal. These layers block carbon particles in the core from spreading to the outer layers. After layering the blade is forged to intentionally distort the layer-lines making a complicated, artistically beautiful pattern called Suminagashi. Suminagashi is the traditional Japanese art form of creating ripples of Chinese ink on the surface of water. This steel mimics the art form with interesting results on a knife blade. Once the layers are distorted, the blade is bathed in acid etching the pattern to vivid relief. The result is an elegant swirled pattern steel that is superbly functional and highly attractive.
The folder's titanium bolsters are blue-colored complementing the blue-colored jigged-bone handle scales. Mid-positioned on the knife's spine is a back lock featuring a cut-away David Boye Dent for added safely and a piped lanyard easily accepts a thong or cord for secondary attachment.
A dressy option for every Endura lover, it performs and feels like and old favorite but looks more like a custom piece and is guaranteed to be noticed.
The C10JBBP is clipless and comes in a padded zipper pouch.
A Spyderco Sprint Run is defined as a limited edition production of any Spyderco product in a configuration different than what has been previously produced. It can include changes in the handle color, materials, blade steel, coatings, etc.
The quantity of each Sprint Run is generally 600 or 1,200 pieces, which is determined by Spyderco.

Europe: ‘Belgium will not meet 2020 and 2030 climate targets’
According to a report from the European Commission, Belgium is one of the five countries that will not manage to meet the 2020 and 2030 emission reduction targets from the 2015 Paris Climate Summit (COP21). The 28 members signed an agreement for a 40% reduction (compared to 1990) by 2030. If Belgium continues this way, it will exceed the 2030 target by 21%.
The European Commission sounds the alarm: five countries will not reach the 2030 target if they continue this way. Belgium, along with Germany, Luxembourg, Austria and Finland will not manage to reduce their emissions by 40% in 2030. If those countries continue that way, even the 2020 target won’t be met.
Back in 2015, the twenty-eight State members of the European union – along with the major part of the world – signed an agreement aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% in 2030 compared to 1990. They’ve also set objectives in terms of renewable energy (32% in 2030) and energy efficiency (32,5% in 2030). “If decisions are integrally put in place, we should end up with an emission reduction of 45% in 2030 for the European Union”, estimated the Commission.
According to climate experts, those decisions are still thin compared to what should be done to meet the Paris Agreement target and maintain the global temperature rise below 2°C. Still, Europe appears to be on par for the 2020 emission reduction of 20% thanks to a global emission reduction of 22% in 2017.
Belgium: exceeding the target
The European Commission lashes Belgium in its latest report. It points out that in 2017 the country’s emissions have increased by 0,6% compared to the previous year. In 2016, Belgium already exceeded the yearly quota. “If existing measures are continued, Belgium’s emissions will be exceeding the target with 21%”, explains the Commission. During the period between 2013 and 2016, the country went from quota surplus of 16% to a deficit of 21%.
“Within the European half-year framework, it has been recommended that Belgium invests in existing or new transport infrastructure and strengthens incentives to use public and low emission transports”, adds the EU institution. Recommendations still concern an environment tax, Belgium’s preferential tax regime for company cars and road transport in general.

Prepare yourself for weeks of delicious food, exciting performances and independent art displays.
The Victorian Government has announced plans for a huge new winter festival when White Night and Melbourne International Arts Festival merge in 2020.
The exact dates are yet to be confirmed, but next year’s festival will span several weeks and boast a diverse range of cultural and arts events that’ll swarm Melbourne’s famous laneways and venues.
This announcement means that 2019 is the last year that both White Night and Melbourne International Arts Festival run as separate events. White Night will take over Melbourne from Thursday August 22 to Saturday August 24, while Melbourne International Arts Festival will run from Wednesday October 2 to Sunday October 20.
“This bold new winter festival will build on Melbourne’s standing as a global cultural capital, showcasing our local artists and bringing our cultural arts institutions to life,” said Victorian minister for creative industries, Martin Foley.
Programs for both events are set to be released in the coming months.


Last week, Democratic Representatives John Tierney and George Miller introduced the College Student Rebate Act, which was designed to ensure student loan and grant money is being put toward education, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce reports. Under the legislation, for-profit colleges would be required to put at least 80% of their total revenue toward educational expenses. If they fail to do so, they would then have to give rebates to students, taxpayers or both.
The bill was influenced by the Affordable Care Act, which provides rebates to people if insurance companies do not use a large portion of their premium revenues on providing high-quality healthcare.
As for-profit colleges tend to get a great deal of revenue directly from the federal government, Miller told The Huffington Post that how schools spend this money must be carefully examined.
"You have great concern across the country … about the cost of a college education," Miller told the Post. "We've got to now start looking at the cost of that delivery system."
Many professionals representing for-profit institutions have criticized the bill. Steve Gunderson, the chief executive officer of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, told the Post that for-profit schools rely on marketing and advertising to attract students, which necessitates a large portion of their funding.
"Unlike traditional colleges and universities, we serve a wide-ranging student demographic who do not get their information from guidance counselors and college advisers," Gunderson said. "Instead, we need to reach them where they are, and that means utilizing more traditional means of marketing and advertising so that working men and women can learn about the educational opportunities we offer."

Struggle-La Lucha questioned Sharon Black, an organizer with the Unemployed Workers Union in Baltimore. Following are her answers.
How did the Unemployed Workers Union get started?
You could say the initial effort began at the United Workers Assembly on May 1, 2021. While the Amazon workers’ struggle was highlighted, Steven Ceci, an unemployed hospitality worker, spoke on his struggle to get benefits and invited people to connect around organizing the unemployed.
In the beginning it was primarily unemployed workers from the People’s Power Assembly who called several protests at the unemployment office in Baltimore. The group was small, but as the crisis grew, it became apparent that we needed a union of the unemployed, underpaid and ultimately low-wage workers also.
Not just a committee but an actual union. At this point the UWU stands on its own as an organization. I’m sure that some people initially thought we’d lost our minds.
We organized weekly “Unemployed & Workers Rights Clinics.” Because of COVID-19, we set up tables outside our office. On our first day, workers had shown up before we could even set up. People filled out grievances and we mailed them to the Labor Department Secretary and to the governor.
In the midst of what was already a major crisis, Gov. Larry Hogan announced that he was halting the federal pandemic payments early.
What about your lawsuit, how did that start?
The UWU lawsuit was one of the earliest lawsuits nationally. We did it as an organizing tool. Workers needed something that could buoy them.
In the beginning, we were alone. I don’t want to go into all of the backstory, but we were told that it was impossible, and at the start, we filed the lawsuit without any support either financially or politically.
As organizers, we never saw the courts as the be-all and end-all. With thousands of unemployed workers spread across the state (sometimes isolated), the lawsuit garnered a lot of attention for our campaign, helping to push the struggle forward.
What stage is the struggle in for the Unemployed Workers Union now?
We’re overwhelmed. Our phones never stop ringing and we can’t keep up. Building an ark in a storm is difficult and it takes some ability to see the bigger picture to keep going. We could easily become impatient with ourselves and the things we’re lacking.
We won this incredible victory in stopping the governor from halting the weekly pandemic benefits early. Over 300,000 workers will continue with the CARES Act money. Governor Hogan tweeted that he would never change his mind but he was forced to back down.
But there has been no rest or even a chance to allow this victory to sink in because over 20,000 unemployed workers still have not received their benefits because of a designed-to-fail unemployment system.
The second phase of this struggle, both in terms of the lawsuit and in the street, is in full swing. The challenge is getting people more deeply involved and to see that power comes from collective action. At our last Workers Assembly we talked about the George Floyd case and what it took to get Derek Chauvin convicted.
What is your general perspective around unemployment and the UWU?
Our goal is to organize a union of unemployed and low-wage workers. There is no rule that you have to have dues, or a paid staff. Not because we are opposed to either, but it doesn’t suit our present situation. We define our union based on the slogan “an injury to one, is an injury to all.”
The UWU might even look toward getting membership in the AFL-CIO. It’s an interesting question that could challenge the narrow conception of what it means to be a worker.
We see the union as part of the broader workers’ struggle. There’s a connection between unemployment and low-wage and unorganized workers.
Part of the initial attack, the propaganda about workers not wanting to work, getting too much in pandemic benefits — was aimed at dividing workers. It was a lie that served to make the unemployed feel isolated and bad, but its real aim was to lower wages for everyone.
There’s been a major displacement of workers, one that I believe will be long-term. Some of this is obvious in terms of hospitality workers and in other areas of work. Certainly many smaller businesses have been wiped out. But how work is done, the way that technology for profit is utilized, is again reshaping and intensifying exploitation.
It has also been a period of resistance to what you could call a war against workers. The efforts of the Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama, to unionize — which is far from over — is one example as are countless smaller but inspiring strikes.
But the defining struggle that has shaped this past year has been the Black Lives Matter movement; even the New York Times was forced to document its incredible breadth. This struggle against racism is a workers’ struggle and has helped to shape what is taking place at almost every workplace.
What is your long-term political perspective?
Unemployment is a permanent feature of capitalism. There’s never been full employment, at least in the United States, regardless of what cycle capitalism is in. Karl Marx explained it best: capitalists rely on a “surplus” of workers to keep workers competing with one another; this keeps wages and benefits low to extract maximum value from labor, increasing profits.
There’s also the cyclical aspect of capitalism, the boom and bust of overproduction where the economy contracts. Massive unemployment is one of the main features.
This is important because it shows that organizing the unemployed is critical and will remain so in the future.
What are some of the issues pertinent to unemployed workers?
The unemployment benefit system is broken and in crisis, if you even want to call it compensation. There’s no uniform system, rather it varies vastly in different states. In Mississippi, the highest benefits are $235 a week. You also have states like Alabama, Florida and North Carolina that have horrifically short periods of assistance, from 12 to14 weeks.
The false excuse is that the cost of living varies in different areas, but the real driving force is the lack of a strong labor movement and the history of “Jim Crow” racism and segregation, the latter being historically most important.
Even before the pandemic, most workers would tell you they had to jump through hoops, that they were lucky to even collect benefits.
When I mention the “war on workers,” one of the factors silently driving this present crisis has been the attack on public-sector workers.
Before and during the pandemic, state governments were automating the system and getting rid of the workers who service benefits. Certainly, the installation of the Beacon system has been a major feature of the crisis in Maryland.
There is a major probability that unemployment insurance reserves will be depleted if another major wave in the pandemic hits or another capitalist downturn takes place. Unemployment insurance is under-funded.
We saw this in September 2020, when states had to apply for federal loans. California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Texas borrowed billions. The U.S.Treasury Department had listed 20 states that had applied for loans.
In addition, unemployment insurance is not adequate. It doesn’t solve people’s needs, including protection from eviction, foreclosures, repossessions and providing all of the other necessities.
This raises a number of questions.
The pandemic has proved that the money is there. The billionaires and trillionaires have made record profits, the pandemic being a bonanza for them. They’re awash in money, including uncirculated capital moldering in banks. The bloated Pentagon death machine hasn’t lost a dime from their $700+ billion budget.
Every human being can and should be guaranteed an income. Dr. King’s demand for a national guaranteed “Jobs or income now” — something that he advanced during the Poor People’s Campaign — has to be raised with more vigor.
The magnitude of the crisis that is actually unfolding now — something that will ripen more — calls for different solutions and organization. Ideas that might have been considered pie-in-the-sky, are necessities. Like a shorter work week. A reorganization of work itself.
Questions about capitalism as a mode of production — is the system viable under these conditions? The fact that capitalism creates the crisis, but cannot solve it, raises the issue of socialism.
Is there anything else you wanted to add?
Getting back to the nitty-gritty. What has been so rewarding about the UWU is watching workers develop solidarity, consciousness and bringing workers together who have never been in struggle. Workers who never thought that they would be betrayed by the system have found themselves abruptly and cruelly left to fend for themselves.
Organizing the UWU is part of the antidote, not the only one, to the Jan. 6 coup attempt by a band of neo-Nazi and racist extremists. Of course, it was not workers who for the most part led that attempt. It was wealthy business owners, large and small, and especially those from inside the state, i.e. the Pentagon, military, and police, that conspired. But they depend on white workers, especially those who have bought into racism, or who are neglected and confused, to stay on the sidelines or in some cases act as cannon fodder.
The UWU has been a force to unite, organize workers in their own self-interest and pull people away from that kind of answer.

What would cause a Pontiac G5 to run hot even when heater is on?
The heater in the passenger compartment will not alleviate an overheating problem- and that problem is dangerous to your engine- look at the usual culprits- leak, thermostat, fan switch, fan relay- etc.
Rad cap,thermostat,cooling temp sensor,water pump,cooling relay1,2 HVAC relay cooling fan all done put freon in A/C still the some. Any idals
Coolant level at the right amount? Low coolant = hot engine. If level is OK then I would suspect a blockage in the system given all the ancillary parts you have changed. Also, make sure your dive belt is not slipping on the water pump pulley.

Michigan’s 17-member State Construction Code Commission would be better served with additional fire protection expertise, according to Midland Fire Chief Chris Coughlin.
Based on Coughlin’s recommendation, Rep. Gary Glenn, R-Midland, has introduced House Bill 5102 to address the situation.
“I applaud Representative Glenn for introducing this common sense legislation to give fire prevention experts a voice in state construction codes,” Coughlin said. “Construction codes are intimately entwined with fire codes, so it’s critical to have fire service professionals with an appropriate knowledge base on these boards. I look forward to this bipartisan legislation moving forward.”
HB 5102, cosponsored by Republicans Laura Cox and Peter Lucido, along with Democrats Tom Cochran, Henry Yanez, Bill LaVoy and House Minority Leader Tim Greimel, adds two fire service representatives with extensive background in fire inspection and prevention to the commission.
Currently, there is no requirement that the current fire service commission member — the state fire marshal or designee — have a background for the development of building codes.
If HB 5102 is enacted into law, the state fire marshal would recommend candidates to the governor from individuals submitted by statewide associations of fire chiefs, fire inspectors and firemen. The legislation also addresses membership of potential advisory committees the commission may form to review proposed rules recommendations by calling for three similarly qualified fire service individuals to be appointed.
The bill was referred to the House Committee on Regulatory Reform.

Massive new FBI data center part of major consolidation: 100 data centers will be replaced by just three. i2 designs the cable and cabinet infrastructure.
Over the last few years, the federal government has been consolidating its data centers, with the goal of leveraging advances in technology to tighten security, save money, save energy, and better serve the public.
Included in that effort was the construction of the Grey Wolf Data Center, a 100,000 square-foot FBI facility in Pocatello, Idaho, which includes a 25,000 square-foot data hall.
According to an FBI news release, “It is a milestone in the efforts to consolidate and optimize data center infrastructure, information, and services as part of a broad multi-year IT transformation.” The FBI also announced that new facility would be built to Tier III standards, with JE Dunn Construction serving as the general contractor.
i2 provided the infrastructure analysis used in the bridging documents phase of the design, plus the design of the cabling system, data center cabinet layout, and the overhead cable tray design.
According to other publically released information, the cabling system is notable in that it includes a mesh fiber optic design that supports 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps data transfer.
Ground broke for the facility in October, 2017, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 18, 2019.
An FBI spokesman, Richard Haley, told TV News 8 of Idaho Falls that the new facility is part of a plan to consolidate more than 100 FBI and Department of Justice data centers down to just three.
Together, these three data centers are expected to improve collaboration and information sharing and increase the Bureau’s ability to execute advanced analytics, while decreasing operational costs.
Paul Abbate, FBI Associate Deputy Director, told Data Center Planet that “We believe this project is one of the foremost and finest examples of how the Department of Justice and the FBI are taking the resources that are appropriated to us — time, money, people, land — and figuring out how to use them most effectively and most efficiently for the taxpayer.”

When it comes to his work, Mauricio Moggia of local interior and exterior design firm Moonk and Figus loves two things: challenge and collaboration. One of his most recent projects delivered both to his immense satisfaction. The redesign of Hotel Anfora in Es Canar provided a perfect blank canvas to really dig deep into how design can influence mood and enhance wellbeing; working closely with Silvia de la Colina of Ibiza Koncept, the hotel’s branding company, was a revelation for the designer. The result is fresh, light-filled interiors and relaxed yet chic exteriors that breath new life into this 50-year-old Ibiza institution transforming it from a two-star to a four-star hotel.
Moving smoothly between the private and commercial worlds is something Moggia embraces with enthusiasm so when Moonk and Figus were approached by Hotel Anfora’s branding specialists he was ready to jump right in. “It was the first time we’ve worked with a branding company,” he explains. “Our teams really clicked and throughout the process, it really felt like we became one.” The collaboration was so successful that Moonk and Figus are now working on another project with de la Colina. Hotel design is a completely different beast to private homes and requires a certain sensibility and understanding. Getting to know the demographic is essential.
“Firstly, you need to understand what the space is used for and what kind of mood you want to create,” explains de la Colina. Hotel Anfora is located in Es Canar on Ibiza’s east coast, just outside of Santa Eulalia town centre. Once a small fishing village, over the years this coastal paradise has converted into a family holiday destination attracting a varied clientele. “We needed to find a balance because you might get a family with young kids, a retired couple or people with teenagers,” Moggia says. “In this instance, Moonk and Figus wanted to create a welcoming ambience and a place that was inviting, where a variety of people would feel comfortable.”
The atmosphere around Es Canar is decidedly carefree and family oriented. Moonk and Figus aimed to celebrate that feeling and also provide a forward-thinking stylish design. “We chose very calming tones,” says Moggia. “People are on holiday with their families, we don’t want to challenge them visually, we want them to feel peaceful.” Pale woods feature heavily throughout the interior spaces, giving a light-hearted frame for a palette of whites, neutral tans and light greys tempered with dashes of tropical green. If Scandinavia dreamed of a beach holiday, it would look something like Hotel Anfora. Clean, fresh and bright, walking into the lobby is akin to sliding into a pool with a fruity cocktail in hand – it’s impossible not to feel great.
Moonk and Figus designed the lobby bar and restaurant as a place where walking in off the beach is totally acceptable. It’s casual yet chic, referencing the lightness seen from the entrance and embracing the sunshine pouring through the glass doors leading to the pool area. A textured feature wall created with coconut shells rises up behind the bar, creating an appealing coarse surface. “Using raw materials such as the coco-shell wall covering and wood is very soothing,” says Moggia. “It takes away any feeling of the corporate world and brings nature indoors.” The guest rooms are equally tranquil, maintaining the same tonal patterns. “The floors were fixed so we had to work around the colour,” says de la Colina. “Restrictions come with every project but for me, they mean challenge, which I love,” adds Moggia.
The rooms are kept neutral with pale tones contrasted by charcoal coverlets to complement the floors and create perspective. The feeling of lightness continues providing an unobtrusive ambience necessary for restful nights. Commercial interior design has to withstand heavy usage. Moonk and Figus opted for products that can endure a high turn around of people. “You have to be conscious of wear and tear in a hotel,” he explains. “A house design can last longer because it’s not being used by so many people. It’s also easier to update whenever you want; people have more room to change style.” Thinking ahead, Moggia chose brands for their durability and timelessness. Keeping the overall design fresh makes updating the soft furnishings and fabrics as tastes change much easier and economically wise.
Moonk and Figus are masters of using wall coverings to enhance mood and create resting places for the eye. The lobby features splashes of British paper brand Cole & Sons’ classic Palm Jungle print. Not only does it add greenery to the space, there’s also something particularly joyful about the style – a little bit of retro fun complementing the general Ibiza vibe that permeates the hotel. Lighting is probably one of the most important elements for successful design, and at Hotel Anfora, Moggia relied heavily on Barcelona based manufacturers Bover. Renowned across the world for their innovative lighting solutions, here, he has expertly used their pendants to create texture and atmosphere. Exteriors have long been a Moonk and Figus speciality but hotels need a totally different mindset to private homes. “You need to be very flexible creatively when it comes to commercial projects,” says Moggia.
Furniture must withstand heavy usage and in a hotel that attracts families, it needs to be durable and welcoming to all. “The landscape is quite tropical and fresh so that informed our choices for the exterior,” he says. “We went with classics. It’s very comfortable; there’s nothing confronting.” Timeless Unopiù umbrellas shade wooden sunbeds and modular sofas while canopied Bali beds provide a lovely respite from the sun. Charcoal towels refer to the room coverlets and are stored in handwoven rattan baskets, leaving the merest touch of rustic beach house chic. The element that makes a Moonk and Figus design really sing is the firm’s ability to truly understand their client. The team’s enthusiasm for their work is infectious and permeates every aspect of the process, even through the challenging moments of meeting deadlines. The Hotel Anfora redesign is a perfect example of the synergy Moonk and Figus nurtures between client, concept and the result. Whether working on private homes or commercial projects, Moggia and his team never fail to bring the same zest, transparency and detail-oriented processes.

The debate about whether socially-driven art plays a more important role than its autotelic counterpart is art’s ancient equivalent of Laurel VS Yanny. While we aren’t here to flog the argument with more sticks, multidisciplinary artist Jean Low, aka Ferry, might just dampen our l’art pour l’art tendencies with her musings — for the better. Fresh from a successful run at SIFA 2018, Ferry talks about Sky Kave, what ifs, social responsibility, and arts for all.

Who is Ferry in a nutshell?
Ferry is a designer/musician/artist/producer – a slashie – as I’ve come to find out this new term. So these days I just say “I do many things”.
At first, Ferry started off as just my solo music project which has since evolved into simply my artist moniker, where I collaborate with and execute projects and ideas that take on different forms or mediums, either by other artists or my own works.
In the process of figuring out my craft after leaving the commercial world of design, and after talking to a friend of mine who also does many things, she said that at the end of the day it’s just whatever best serves the idea. And I found that extremely empowering and freeing from having to define what I do.
You have to remove yourself as the focus as much as possible from what you are doing, that what you create has to serve the community. That art is for others to learn and grow along with you.
My ideas center around creating new and immersive experiences for audiences whilst incorporating a social angle where I can, as I feel that art is at its most powerful when used as an educative tool, to connect and engage.
So perhaps, idea executor?
How did Sky Kave come about?
I was at a Cigarettes After Sex concert in Capitol Theatre and due to the construction of the floor, the bass and drum frequencies just reverberated through and at that moment I suddenly became ultra sensitive to them – it just felt so good.
So I lay down on the floor at the back, feeling the vibrations all over my body. I thought, “Wow, wouldn’t it be great to lie down during a concert? And the ceiling is so uninspiring, what if the visuals were up on ceiling instead whilst feeling the vibrations?”
My initial idea was about trying to see how I could take a live music show and turn it 90 degrees because we are always used to watching things standing up or sitting down in a public setting. The act of even lying down for some is allowing themselves to be vulnerable which could add to the experience as well.
…wouldn’t it be great to lie down during a concert? …what if the visuals were up on ceiling instead whilst feeling the vibrations?
But in itself, I felt that something was missing. Sure, it might make for an overall nice experience but what good would that do? What would people take away from that? The idea was incomplete and lacking purpose.
The missing piece came when I read a really good article on Buzzfeed about how the deaf in the US attend live concerts. They would stand right in front of the speaker to feel the vibrations and also hold empty water bottles to feel the vibrations on their hands. This provided the catalyst that would push Sky Kave to what it is today – not only a platform and piece of work that other people could use for new ideas, but we hoped to create awareness, understanding, new perspectives and spark conversations within and between the deaf and hearing centric communities.
What was the process like and how did the collaboration flow between the different artists involved?
Based on the initial idea and direction we built the first prototype which was a flat platform, the size of a queen size bed, accommodating up to two people. The inner vertical bracings underneath divided the platform into three parts with one tactile transducer being placed on the left and the other on the right.
Various people from all walks of life were invited to demo the platform. From seasoned musicians to people from the deaf community, an ASD family, yoga practitioners, film-makers, etc. This provided valuable feedback and ideas into what we were creating. The most notable was from the deaf community, where they asked how it would feel like if the different frequencies could be separated. There were also comments passed, asking if one could feel through their hands and feet more.
The Sky Kave team agreed that after a while, the initial flat platform became very one-dimensional and a majority of the vibrations that could be felt were concentrated on the mids and lows and were uniform throughout the body. The effect isn’t any different to being at a live concert. What would push the project further would be to separate the frequencies as well as to feel the higher frequencies in a more apparent way.
The second prototype was then developed into a lounge chair for one person, with the audio being split into 4 channels instead of 1 and each chair has 5 speakers instead of 2.
This prototype was based on prior research conducted by a team at NUS which created a similar haptic chair using an Ikea Poang chair. We adapted what they had done into the second prototype based on tactile modality – where the different parts of the body naturally resonate with different ranges of frequencies. This proved to be a significant step in terms of being able to differentiate and feeling sound more effectively.
The performance aspect was always centered around a collaboration between two artists. Rong Zhao pushed the idea further, saying that the only way the collaboration would make sense with the intent and development of the project would be to have a deaf artist and a hearing-centric artist collaborate.
I was fortunate to have met Isabelle Lim, a deaf photographer at the Arts & Disability International Conference 2018. Our meeting was totally unplanned and happenstance that somehow makes me feel meeting her was meant to be. As I got talking to her I knew that she was the person who would push Sky Kave in the right direction with her unique perspectives of sound and she has such a wealth of brilliant ideas.
I roped in Evan Low (Evanturetime) for the collaboration and he took the lead from Isabelle, based on her short film Silent Shadows. We wanted her to take the lead because it only made sense that her perspective and story take the forefront. Evan helped in mixing and crafting the sounds that brought her ideas and perspectives to life. It was an amazing collaboration and both artists showed each other respect in their craft and views.
Did working on Sky Kave redefine your craft in any way?
Definitely. Being a new work and my first attempt, I realize that generating ideas like this is something that engages me as a creator as it’s multi-faceted and allows me to explore multiple angles, collaborate with others and more importantly, provide opportunities for others to use the artwork or the idea for their own exploration. It was definitely a step in a direction I never expected to take, but when the idea and opportunity came, we just went for it and realized and this is something that we really enjoy doing.
Through various engagements organized by SIFA, I had the chance to educate and talk to students and young artists about the process in hopes that they start to view their work not simply as an extension of themselves but a powerful tool to incite change and connect. Even as I am learning myself, I find it fulfilling to share and grow ideas together with other artists and share the process in hopes that they can take their own ideas or even take Sky Kave and run with it in a new direction.
I’ve always liked sculptures that sit in a space for years and years and allow the public to interact with it and tell a story. Hopefully, I will have a chance to do that.
Overall, my dream is to grow a steady portfolio of works that involve the community and maybe get to showcase them overseas which will include working with the local community there as involving other cultures would move the ideas and installations into a new direction and gives the city ownership of the artwork. This provides longevity for the artwork which is what I bear in mind, as much as possible.
Any parting words for our readers?
What I’ve learned thus far is to always question “why”. Why are you doing this? What is it for? You have to remove yourself from the focus as much as possible from what you are doing, that what you create has to serve the community. That art is for others to learn and grow along with you. Yes, there is always a time for self-expression and experimentation but in the bigger picture, what are you working towards?
A lot of times we get bogged down by this and that theory, or the form, the medium, the definitions. But at the core, it always starts with a good idea. They are the what if’s that you keep floating around in your mind.
Always write down your ideas in case you forget. Ideas can take years to come to fruition, so patience and waiting are pertinent. A lot of time we want to be the first, the original one but art isn’t like that most of the time, and sometimes it’s all about the right timing.
Lastly, I believe as artists, we are just the facilitator, educator, and server, through what we create, through the idea. Otherwise, art will always be a luxury, a non-necessity. It is our job to make the arts accessible to those who do not have the chance to enjoy it. It is our job to create opportunities for others who don’t have the chance to explore the arts. That is the only way that I feel the arts has a purpose and value in people’s lives.

She is an imaginative soul who transforms her daydreams into creative expressions. Olivera sings, dances, and writes, but her favorite ability is to be able to engage with people around the world in the eight languages she is proficient in. A published economist with a love for numbers and a service leader at her core, Olivera is an avid traveler whose mission in life is to be an organizer for peace and to inspire the celebration of diversity. A recipient of the 2017 United States of America President’s Volunteer Service Award and one of the ‘Top 30 Influential Women of Houston’, Olivera is a global citizen with rich personal and professional stories. Olivera, a native of Macedonia, and her husband of 5 years, Tushar, who hails from India are raising a trilingual son and are helping him navigate life at the nexus of three very different homelands. The My Homeland book series was inspired by Olivera’s desire to ensure her son appreciates his Indian, Macedonian, and American heritage and to celebrate immigrants like her and second-generation nationals like her son. In a recent interview, she stated:
“Since the first day I arrived in the USA, 12 years ago, I promised I’ll do anything necessary in order to preserve my heritage. As the years went by, this personal goal grew into a goal for communities. I saw many people like myself struggling to remain ‘diverse’ and often feeling as they have lost their identity. I would hear myself and other multiethnic people say: ‘I don’t belong there nor here’. I felt passionate to change that and decided to lead with the goal to the international diaspora remain diverse.
I launched My Homeland book series to help societies preserve diversity starting from the youngest. These books are meant to apply counter pressure to nationalism, racism and the ‘melting pot’. They challenge to expand the narrow race and ethnic category of identity – ‘white’, ‘black’, ‘Hispanic’, ‘Asian’ etc. to add the option of ‘multiracial’ or ‘all of the above’. I dream of a day when a multiethnic child will not be pressured to identify themselves as one category. For instance, my son should never have to say I am 50% Macedonian and %50 Indian, but live in the USA, rather to say I am 100% Macedonian, 100% Indian and 100% American.
That mission of diversity promotion and preservation I now shortly describe as ‘connecting people to peace’ never ceased to guide me in my daily decisions. Basically with this in mind, I’m ‘keeping the soul of the diaspora alive’. In a hypothetical situation, without such social initiatives — to cherish and preserve the cultural diversity, cultures will be lost, languages will cease to exist or even worse, without multicultural society, extreme differences and lack of communication can cause conflict. We have seen all these issues in history.
The driver for this new project I have undertaken came when my son was born. I found myself putting tremendous amount of effort to preserve his Macedonian and Indian heritage WHILE he is growing up in the USA. I searched for a long time for educational content for children on teaching children about the value of preserving their identity while living in the diaspora — and found very little on this subject. There’s plenty of books on diverse topics, but no books on the topic of WHY cherish and HOW to nudge your child to appreciate their culture.”

An enquiry was held into the running and riding of Triple Nickle (IRE), ridden by Jordan Williams and trained by Bernard Llewellyn which raced detached from the rear of the field, before been asked for an effort after turning into the home straight, running on past horses up the length of the straight under tender handling, finishing sixth of eleven, beaten by 18 ½ lengths.
Being a 7lb claiming apprentice, Williams was offered the opportunity to be accompanied in the enquiry but declined.
The rider and the trainer’s representative were interviewed and shown recordings of the race and the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of Triple Nickle (IRE), during routine testing, failed to reveal any abnormalities.
The rider stated that his instructions were to drop the filly in and get Triple Nickle (IRE) jumping, as she had unseated the jockey last time out on her first run over hurdles.
He added that the filly had jumped and travelled well but had hung slightly left under pressure, although he continued that this was not performance affecting.
The trainer’s representative stated that he was happy with the ride and that it accorded with the instructions given.
He further stated that in his opinion, Triple Nickle (IRE) could in hindsight have been positioned closer through the early to mid stages of the contest, but he was satisfied with the ride overall.
Williams was suspended for 16 days and Llewellyn was fined £3,500 for schooling and conditioning the filly on the racecourse in that the gelding had not been asked for timely, real or substantial effort on its second run over hurdles.
Triple Nickle (IRE) was suspended from running in any race for 40 days.
Following the race, Connor Brace reported that Gats And Co (GB), unplaced, hung left-handed up the straight.

Mixed reaction over vision for 10,000 home new town in the heart of county
PUBLISHED: 17:16 22 July 2018 | UPDATED: 17:16 22 July 2018
News that a new 10,000 home garden town could be built in Norfolk has sparked a mixed reaction. DAN GRIMMER and DANIEL BENNETT report...
The prospect of thousands of new homes in a new settlement created in mid Norfolk has received a warm welcome from some, but also stiff opposition.
Norwich based planners Lanpro are preparing a proposal for a new settlement of up to 10,000 homes between the villages of North Elmham, Billingford and Bintree, as part of a government drive to back new garden towns.
The proposal for the 1,294 acre site has been dubbed as “the first planned new settlement within Norfolk”, although plans have yet to be lodged.
Concerns over the proposal had already been expressed by Bill Borrett, Norfolk county councillor and Breckland district councillor, who said it would “greatly affect communities and change the whole character of the area”.
Mayor of Dereham Hilary Bushell has concerns about the proposals. She said: “The plans need a lot of careful consideration. The 10,000 homes came as a surprise as we weren’t expecting that many.
“We already have enough problems in Dereham with traffic and that would probably mean more people coming to the town. I’m mostly worried about the people in nearby villages and the impact it could have on our beautiful countryside.”
Fakenham’s mayor George Acheson believes that the lack of transport links in the area means that it would be difficult for a town that big to be built.
He said: “I’m very concerned about the urbanisation of rural Norfolk. It’s a nice idea to connect it to the Mid Norfolk Railway, but I would think the majority of people will use cars.
“How you would connect the town to the rest of Norfolk I’m not sure, the traffic to Norwich is already very bad from Fakenham. In my view you would need a lot of money spent on improving the roads.”
And Keith Simpson, Broadland MP, whose constituency neighbours where the town would be built, said: “I was fairly surprised by the sheer size of it and the impact it will have on villages which I know well.
“The questions which will need to be raised are important ones about water, sewerage, the roads and what sort of deal the developers will be offering.
“If doctor’s surgeries and schools are needed, are the developers going to pay for them? And how will all this fit in with Breckland Council’s own local development plan?”
Norwich-based developers Lanpro have said the aim is to “deliver a balanced community with schools, shops and doctor’s surgeries included in the plans”.
People who commented on Facebook, after the Eastern Daily Press exclusively revealed the proposals, had mixed opinions on the merits of the scheme.
Some were concerned that arable land would be lost, but others said the need for housing was such that options such as garden towns needed to be explored.
Paul Osborne said: “Garden villages sound very quaint but they usually mean plonking a town in prime arable land with little thought given to infrastructure.”
And Diane Westwood-Rowland commented: “More stable land lost. How are we going to feed the population in future? The loss to wildlife will be vast.”
Joy Waddingham agreed: “Apart from another big new ugly estate, using up our food/growing land resources, what about the infrastructure and jobs needed?
“Where I live, in an established community we travel miles to a dentist as local ones are full, also there is no local work. There are lots of empty shops in towns, why can these not be renovated as homes?”
But Vincent Jones commented: “Good stuff. Plenty of employment for years.”
And Proinseas O Caoimh said homes would have to be built somewhere to cope with the growing population. They said: “So we complain about the ongoing homelessness in the county then complain that new houses are going to be built. Can’t have it both ways.
However, Sam Cranmer was not convinced. He said: “Really hope that common sense prevails and a totally ridiculous idea for a development like this never ever goes ahead.”
But Nick Barran was in favour. He said: “Great idea, keep the area booming. Make sure a new hospital, doctor’s surgery, three supermarkets, fire station, ambulance station and a swimming pool are built first.”
The timeline and cost for the proposed build is unknown at this stage, as is whether the development would receive any government funding.

To keep, according to the kebab industry, they need to use phosphates to keep the frozen meat juicy and tender for customer consumption.
However, others argued that phosphates posed a health risk for cardiovascular disease. European Socialist and Greens led the debate for the ban on health grounds.
But, media report states that the European Parliament defeated the bill voting 372 to keep the additive, 272 against with roughly 30 abstentions.
In my opinion, this is yet another win for big corporation irrespective of the health issues. We are aware that every level of food we consume has the potential to harm our bodies. There are those who campaign for us not to eat any meat, that will never happen.
Like robots, human beings when it comes to food are, programme, the vast majority liked spicy food, consume tons of pork, beef, chicken, lamb, mutton. All over the world, there are differences in the many ways in which we cook and eat food, and to preserve them for long-term use we tend to add additives.
The food industry will always find methods for us to consume their product, and of course, when a health issue arises they will do everything in their power to debunk the claim. The onus is left with the consumer to decide if the concerns could be genuine and what steps they are going to take to protect themselves.

potential customer asked us a very specific question:
“If I am using your Autoquill Fineliner pens on smooth Bristol board paper, will the ink smear or streak when I color overtop of them with markers that have alcohol-based ink (i.e., art markers including, but not limited to, Copic, Blick Studio, and Prismacolor Premier)?”
We had tested these in the past, but thought it would be helpful to provide proof. So we set up a little test (described below), and a short video (shown below):
Six (6) circles were drawn with our No. 10 (1.0 mm thickness) Autoquill. Each circle was drawn at a slightly different time, allowing the ink to only dry for a progressively shorter period each time a circle was drawn. Those intervals included:
- 1 Minute
- 45 Seconds
- 30 Seconds
- 15 Seconds
- 10 Seconds
- 5 Seconds
A single stroke of the alcohol-based marker’s broad tip was then applied to each inked circle.
Regardless of the length of drying time, we experienced no smearing on the smooth Bristol board paper.
This short movie was filmed in time-lapse for the sake of not making the viewers wait around for the results. Hope you find it useful!
If you’re interesting in find out more about our Autoquill Fineliner art pens, visit these links to find out about the 3 different sized packs they come in: 3-pack, a 6-pack, and a 10-pack. Or visit www.amazon.com/shop/airship for link to all of our products.
(EDIT: The person purchased our pens after seeing the video, so she would no longer be considered a “potential customer,” hence the strike-out at the beginning of the post.)

In Japan, pork loin is relatively cheap and often goes on sale. One of the small-sized pieces of meat are great for a 2-person dinner with leftovers for lunch the next day. I love the flavors in this recipe, which I originally saw here.
1 small pork tenderloin
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp each cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 tsp chili oil (In Japan I use ラー油, raayu.)
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
Mix the salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Rub the spices all over the outside of the pork tenderloin. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pork on all sides. Then place in a small oven-save pan (use something with edges).
Mix together the brown sugar, garlic, and chili oil. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the pork tenderloin.
Bake for 25 minutes until cooked through. Let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
I’ve heard a lot about pumpkin spice lattes this season, and I can imagine the popularity. I don’t drink much coffee, though, so I thought about creating a similar drink without the coffee. It was surprisingly easy, and is much cheaper (and probably healthier) than buying it at a coffee shop. I imagine you could add coffee, too, if that’s your thing!
Ingredients (serves 1)
240mL (1 cup) milk (low fat or whole are both fine; I haven’t tried any other varieties)
2 tsp brown sugar
a sprinkle each of: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt (OR a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice)
1 thin slice fresh ginger (OR a sprinkle of powdered ginger)
2 tbsp pumpkin puree*
a few drops vanilla extract
*Pumpkin puree is not easily found in Japan. I have seen canned pumpkin once at an import store. It’s also available online. Leftover pumpkin puree can be stored in the freezer in a ziplock bag for months.You can use frozen puree in this recipe, since it’ll thaw in the hot milk.
Put all ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk to combine. Heat over medium-low heat until steaming – do not allow the milk to simmer or boil, or a skin will develop on top.
This recipe for cinnamon rolls uses a different dough from most cinnamon rolls. As a “biscuit”, the dough is not very sweet, and is more firm. However, when contrasted to the sweet filling, the result is a not-overly-sweet treat. Originally from here.
3 cups flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
113g (1/2 cup) butter
50g (1/4 cup) shortening
180mL (3/4 cup) buttermilk (in Japan: use 175mL milk + 1 tsp lemon juice and let sit 5 minutes before using)
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
pinch of salt
30g (2 tbsp) butter
For biscuit dough: Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in the butter and shortening with a pastry cutter or two knives. In a small bowl, mix together the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture and stir until combined.
For filling: melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir and cook until the butter turns brown. Let cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix sugars and spices.
Roll the biscuit dough into a rectangle 10 by 12 inches (25 by 30 cm). Spread or brush the browned butter onto the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over.
Roll up the biscuit dough tightly, with the seal on the bottom. Slice with a sharp knife into 1″ (2.5 cm) slices. Lay the slices on a baking sheet and bake at 200C / 400F for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. (If the dough is too soft to slice neatly, chill the dough in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes and try again.)

So, Former FBI Director James Comey is human. Humanness is not synonymous with weakness or naivety. Like many before him, Comey was reluctant to relay crucial information as a whistleblower out of fear or at least concern over employer retaliation. Whatever your opinion on the situation, we need to start with a basic truth - James Comey was an employee. Yes, he was director of the FBI. Yes, he understood the responsibility on him to report any illegal or inappropriate activities. As FBI director, Comey was held to a higher standard than most. However, we must not penalize him for his fear of retaliation from his boss.
Comey finds himself standing in a place similar to victims of workplace harassment, domestic violence and sexual assault. His livelihood and reputation were connected to his position. As we saw with former President Bill Clinton, who admitted to lying during the Monica Lewinsky case, it is a difficult decision to report on a superior’s behavior.
Comey’s situation is also very similar to the women who have asserted sexual assault or harassment by Bill Cosby. The question is always, “Why did you not come forward at the moment.” The answer is usually, “I feared what may happen to me.” Comey’s challengers are sending a similar message to others who may want to speak out.
Victim blaming should never be a political tool. Nearly two years ago, the Commissioners of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission met to discuss "Strategies to Reduce Retaliation in the Workplace." Commissioner Charlotte Borrows said then, "When retaliation makes employees too afraid to report discrimination, it creates a climate in which discrimination can thrive, affecting businesses' bottom lines and undermining the basic right to equal employment opportunity.” It also creates an atmosphere of mistrust and fosters the continuation of inappropriate conduct.
We saw this clearly during the pre-Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 era when lower-level employees behaved in unethical and even criminal ways out of fear of career death. When a superior gives even the slightest hint as to what he or she “hopes” will happen, many subordinates will take the words as a “directive.” This exact scene for Comey was played out one-on-one with the president in the Oval Office. The superior-subordinate relationship is complicated. Whether you are dealing with a teacher or professor, clergyperson, coach, mentor, parent, or the president of the United States, the subordinate is always at a disadvantage.
Like many victims of workplace retaliation and sexual violence in general, Comey meticulously documented what happened to him. Victims tend to record messages, write in a journal, or memorialize the incident in some other manner. Monica Lewinsky kept the infamous blue dress. Comey stated in his public testimony that he took notes because he “was honestly concerned [President Trump] might lie.” As with many victims, Comey used the media to help tell his story. In the non-political arena, Comey would mostly likely seek counsel for wrongful termination.
With every unfortunate situation, there is an opportunity to learn and a need for action. We must do something to reverse the trend of reluctant victims. The Comey situation presents the perfect moment to expand our conversation.
Fear of retaliation is not indicative of a weak individual. Concern for one’s job security is not synonymous with an unstable employee. Instead, we should consider the organizational cultures and climates that breed such emotional responses. There is no shame in being victimized. Society must place the guilt and shame on those who behave in a way that creates or fosters discriminatory, untrustworthy, and inappropriate actions. Victim blaming creates more fear, anxiety, and hidden victims. Victim blaming prohibits an organization (or country) from thriving. Finally, victim blaming sends a message that if you are wronged, we care less about what happened to you and more about what you did to try to prevent the situation. The onus should not be on the victim. The systems in place must work to protect victims without jeopardizing the rights of alleged offenders.
I believe Jim Comey is an example of how to stand up in the workplace. Bravo, Sir!

I received an email a few weeks ago from a company that sells fresh nuts and dried fruit: www.ohnuts.com. They wanted to know if I wanted to work with them to come up with a recipe including their products. I came up with this Pecan Crusted Tilapia with a Coconut milk sauce, infused with Dried Crystallized Ginger, Banana Pineapple discs, red curry paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, Cholula hot sauce and Sriracha all served over fresh greens. This is the best Tilapia I’ve ever had, if I do say so myself. The fresh pecan coating is so crunchy, I would definitely make this sauce again to serve over rice noodles, chicken, or pork. The company www.ohnuts.com sells other items too besides fresh nuts and fruit, they have delicious chocolates, and all kinds of gift baskets for weddings, new baby, holidays, birthdays, and corporate. All cooking and baking supplies are Kosher. Oh! Nuts sent me 1 pound of fresh Pecans, Banana Pineapple discs, and Dried Crystallized Ginger. They all came in vacuum sealed bags. Their prices ares so reasonable, you can buy 1 pound of Dried Crystallized Ginger for $4.99. I don’t know about you but I have tried to buy ginger in the store and it is triple the price of what they sell it for! The pecans were so fresh and I have never eaten Banana Pineapple discs before, these were so good just on their own, and so good for you too. I really loved the fresh ginger taste along with the Banana Pineapple discs infused in the sauce for the Tilapia. I still have some Dried Crystallized Ginger left over and can’t wait to try a new cocktail made with Ginger simple syrup, stay tuned for the recipe. If you can’t get Tilapia, which I’m pretty sure you can buy it frozen anywhere now, you can use any firm white fish. If you’re looking for that unique gift you can go to www.ohnuts.com or call them at 1-888-664-6887. I would highly recommend them! Let me know how your Pecan Crusted Tilapia turns out, and feel free to leave me a comment, I love to hear from you! Love, Stacey
Pecan Crusted Tilapia:
This recipe serves two, if you need more double or triple the recipe.
For the Sauce:
Put all of the following ingredients into a small sauce pan over low heat.
1 can coconut milk unsweetened, 13.5 fluid oz.
2 Tbs chopped Dried Crystallized Ginger

Marco Silva says Jean-Philippe Gbamin is “still out” ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Manchester City. The 24-year-old has made just two appearances since joining from Mainz and is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Silva said in his pre-match press conference: “JP Gbamin and Andre Gomes are still out.” In the midfielders’ absence, Morgan Schneiderlin has partnered Fabian Delph but results have left a lot to be desired.
Gbamin made his debut in a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace (August 10) and got a full 90 minutes in Everton’s 1-0 win over Watford (August 17). He’s been out of action ever since, however, and isn’t expected to return until late-October/early-November.
The Ivorian international has missed Everton’s last six games – a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa (August 23), 4-2 win over Lincoln City (August 28), 3-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers (September 1), 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth (September 15), 2-0 defeat to Sheffield United (September 21) and a 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday (September 24).
Ahead of Everton’s Premier League clash with City, Silva’s men have lost two on the bounce and are currently closer to the relegation zone (three points) than the top-four (four points) after six games.


Background: Aerosol delivery through an endotracheal tube during mechanical ventilation of small animals, simulating neonates and small infants, has shown to be influenced by a variety of factors including aerosol generator type, droplet/particle size, ventilator circuitry and ventilation regime. A review of the literature indicates that reported aerosol deposition rates in rodents are quite low, with lung deposition in anesthetized, mechanically ventilated rats reported to be approximately 3.9 and approximately 8% in anesthetized, spontaneously breathing rats. The optimization of aerosol delivery to both in vitro and in vivo models of anesthetized mechanically ventilated rodents is described in this study.
Methods: Characterization and optimization of the in vitro system performance relied on gravimetric analysis, laser diffraction droplet sizing, and spectrophotometric analysis of drug mass on inspiratory filters. The optimized setup was subsequently employed in vivo to determine deposition of a tracer aerosol in the rat lung.
Results: In vitro testing confirmed that droplet size, ventilation regimen, breath actuation setting, and the inclusion of a drug recycling step had the greatest effect on inhaled mass. During testing, improvements of up to 41% were seen in inhaled mass values between runs with the addition of a recycling step. The negative effects of the aerosolization process on albuterol sulphate were minimal. In vitro deposition rates of 29.95 +/- 1.54% of the original dose were recorded (n = 3). In vivo deposition rates of Evans blue were highly comparable (30.88 +/- 5.73%) (n = 6). Intratracheal instillation of the tracer dye resulted in deposition of 87.34 +/- 6.23% of the original dose.
Conclusions: This optimized experimental setup allows for greater inhaled mass than previously reported. The addition of a recycling step may prove to be a significant improvement in achieving higher deposition in mechanically ventilated lungs; however, the suitability of the test agent for repeated nebulization needs assessment.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Grammy Award–nominated, platinum-selling musician Halsey is heralded as one of the most compelling voices of her generation. In I Would Leave Me If I Could, she reveals never-before-heard poetry of longing, love, and the nuances of bipolar disorder.
In this intimate audio performance of her debut collection, Halsey bares her soul. Bringing the same artistry found in her lyrics, Halsey’s poems delve into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality, and mental illness. More hand grenades than confessions, these autobiographical poems explore and dismantle conventional notions of what it means to be a feminist in search of power.
Masterful as it is raw, passionate, and profound, I Would Leave Me If I Could signals the arrival of an essential voice.
Cover painting, American Woman, by the author.
I bought this book when it came out and it was great but hearing Halsey read the words herself makes it that much better. A must buy for any Halsey fans.
I’m enamored with her voice and I can legitimately feel real emotion in her voice. Her choice of words is equally elegant. This is pure art
I stay another day.
Raw and beautiful. That’s how I see and express my love for this women. She has a way with words that will forever be remembered and etched in my brain. Like a lovers tree bark and a old switch blade. She expresses and exposes what it is to be a girl turned into a women in this world. What should be normal in how a sexuality and the “dirty thoughts” we all think can be poetic and angelic. She has shown that there should be a metal for artists like her that open up the most vulnerable and stigma ridden parts of mental illness. How mainic, depression, anxiety,and bipolarism, isn’t a right to call another “crazy”.
All in all. With the last period. I felt if she can do it. I guess I can stay Another Day too.

¿Quién fue Harriet Tubman? - Resources for your Spanish Classroom
In Celebration of Black History Month
Featuring: ¿Quién fue Harriet Tubman?
Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew first-hand what it meant to be someone's property. She was whipped by her owners and almost killed by an overseer. Harriet first heard about the Underground Railroad from other field hands, and then she traveled it by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two), and long after the Civil War brought an end to slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what one person could accomplish.
This biography series is a great way to introduce students to important historical figures. Engaging design and format appeals to even middle and high school reluctant readers. Read them all!
As enthusiasts of the Spanish language and Hispanic Culture, this month we will be exploring the Spanish-speaking world: its people, its cities, its regions, and its cultures. Join us as we explore with Español Santillana.

From May 1 to May 5, the 38 contestants for Miss Universe Philippines 2023 will…
Delegates from Miss Universe Philippines visit Eastern Visayas
During their first two days in the area, Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) candidates visited popular tourist attractions in this city and Samar.
On Monday, the 38 contenders came to the city and took part in a welcoming lunch that featured the best dishes and specialties from the surrounding area.
At the luncheon hosted by the Tingog Party list and House of Representatives Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez at the Nipa Hut, Miss Agusan del Norte Jannarie Zarzoso said, “I am really honored and on behalf of all the ladies I would like to thank you for the preparation for allowing us (to) experience Leyte, its culture, food, dances, and music.”
Following lunch, their first significant event was a motorcade through the city during which supporters clapped for their preferred candidates.
Pauline Amelinckx (from Bohol), Michelle Dee (from Manila), and candidates from the Eastern Visayas Layla Adriatico (from Northern Samar), Airish Ramos (from Eastern Samar), and Kimberly Escartin (from Southern Leyte) were among the people’s choices.
The participants headed to the Tacloban port area following the procession to take part in the San Juanico sunset sail.
Along with them were representatives from the MUPH led by Jonas Gaffud and Karina Rosa Tiopes, director of the Department of Tourism 8 (Eastern Visayas).
After the yacht carrying the candidates passed beneath the San Juanico Bridge during the cruise, its decorative light was turned on.
After spending about 30 minutes admiring the lights, the women returned to the Tacloban port district and went to the Price Mansion for a meal with a barbecue theme.
One of the city’s historic buildings is the Price Mansion. being General Douglas McArthur’s official residence during World War II’s Liberation Era.
The Sohoton Caves and Natural Bridge, Panhulugan Cave and its remarkable rock formations, Saob Cave, and Saint Michael the Archangel Church were among the places candidates visited in Basey, Samar, on Tuesday.
In Marabut, Samar, they also stopped at the Caluwayan Palm Island Resort.
They will travel to Palompon, Leyte on May 3 to visit Kalanggaman Island.
The wide rice fields of Isidro village in Sta. Fe Leyte will serve as the location for the national costume shoot on May 4. The Leyte Normal University in this city will host the national costume competition at night.
On May 5, MUPH candidates will take part in a charity event at the local SOS Children’s Village, a cultural and historical tour of Tacloban City and the surrounding town of Palo, and a ceremony to lay floral tributes at the Yolanda Mass Grave in the city’s Holy Cross Memorial Garden.
According to Tiopes, hosting the national costume competition here will provide the area a chance to show off its offerings to tourists.
“More than 95% of the candidates, organizers, and technical crew for Miss Universe Philippines are first-timers in the country. Although some people can trace their ancestry to certain towns in the area, they never had the chance to visit,” she said.
“Our natural bounty, our culture and heritage, our artistry and abilities, our character and values are revealed in every place they visit, every dish and delicacy they taste, every craft they see, every local entertainment experience, and every Eastern Visayan they engage with,” said the president of the Eastern Visayas.
In the meantime, 1,973 police officers from the Philippine National Police (PNP) were stationed in the area to supervise crowd control, regulate traffic, safeguard the candidates’ final destinations, and ensure route safety.
38 close-in security personnel have also been deployed by the PNP, with one police officer being allocated to each contender.
Recently, these police officers took a refresher training in VIP security.
Up to May 6, the local police will maintain a state of high alert.
In order to prevent lawless individuals and any unpleasant incidents from disrupting the event, police officers will take comprehensive security measures in close conjunction with the relevant government agencies.
According to Police Regional Office (PRO) 8 Director Brig. Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil, “Given the popularity of the pageant, we will further boost our tourism industry not only by the tourist attractions but also with the peace and order in the region.”
The Tingog Party list and Speaker Romualdez worked with the Miss Universe Philippines organization to bring the contest to Eastern Visayas.

In exciting TikTok news, the world now knows who created the original Renegade dance!
As reported by the NY Times, 14-year-old Jalaiah Harmon choreographed the Renegade dance from her Atlanta bedroom with friend Skylar back in September 2019. She first uploaded the dance to Funimate and Instagram, but it wasn’t until user @global.jones brought it to TikTok months later that the dance exploded. The Renegade quickly became the most popular dance on the platform, helping to shape the zeitgeist of one of the world’s largest video apps. TikTok’s biggest star, Charli D’Amelio, is often associated with Jalaiah’s dance— fans have even branded Charli the “C.E.O.” of the Renegade.
“I was happy when I saw my dance all over,” Jalaiah told the NY Times. “But I wanted credit for it.”
Well, Jalaiah is certainly getting her well-deserved credit now.
This weekend, the young dancer and her friend, Skylar, had a pretty big “pinch me” moment when they were invited to hang with rapper K Camp— the artist of Lottery AKA the song the Renegade dance is set to.
In a video posted to his Instagram and Twitter, K Camp is seen moving to the beat while Jalaiah and Skylar perform their iconic dance in front of him. In the caption, he thanks the girls for helping make his song the “BIGGEST in the world.”
Users were excited to see the rapper supporting Jalaiah and Skylar and praised him for using his influence to spotlight the young WOC. Many pointed out that this situation is a prime example of the consistent problem black creators face— their work gets ripped off while others reap the recognition and profit.
Other celebrities have been voicing their support for the OG creators as well. “Give this girl ALL her flowers, praise, love, support, opportunities and CREDIT!!!” Gabrielle Union tweeted. “Definitely giving me #BringItOn flashbacks.”
Hopefully, this is only the beginning of Jalaiah and Skylar’s viral success and they’re granted the opportunities they deserve.
Here’s to giving credit?where?credit?is?due?.


Sudan's military takeover leader has said he is trying to persuade ousted Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok to return and form a new government.
But if Mr Hamdok does not return, a new prime minister will be named, Gen Abdel Fattah Al Burhan said.
“Until this night, we were sending him people and telling [Abdalla Hamdok] ... complete the path with us. Until this meeting with you, we were sending him people to negotiate with him and we are still having hope,” Gen Al Burhan said in a speech on Thursday evening.
“We told him that we cleaned the stage for you ... he is free to form the government. We will not intervene in the government formation, anyone he will bring, we will not intervene at all".
But Gen Al Burhan later told Russia's state-owned Sputnik news agency that the new premier would be appointed in a week and will form a Cabinet that will share leadership of the country with the armed forces.
“We have a patriotic duty to lead the people and help them in the transition period until elections are held,” Gen Al Burhan said in the interview.
Gen Al Burhan has faced a backlash from the international community and on the streets of Sudan against the takeover, which removed the civilian half of the transitional government on Monday.
The move came just a month before the military was due to hand over leadership of the Sovereign Council to the civilian led Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) as part of a power-sharing agreement eventually leading to elections.
The council was formed after the removal of dictator Omar Al Bashir – who had ruled for 29 years – by popular revolt and eventual assistance from the military.
Mr Hamdok, an economist and former senior UN official, was initially held at Gen Al Burhan's residence, after soldiers rounded up the government on Monday.
He was allowed to return home under guard on Tuesday.
Mr Hamdok's allies say he has refused requests from the military leaders to co-operate, and has demanded civilian power-sharing be restored and arrested ministers freed.
The office of the UN representative to Sudan said on Thursday he had offered to facilitate a political settlement towards restoring the transition,during a meeting with Gen Al Burhan.
The takeover has led to a storm of street protests demanding the restoration of a civilian government. At least nine people have been killed by security forces, according to the Sudan Doctors Committee and activists. At least 170 have been wounded, according to the UN.
Pro-democracy activist groups have called for “million-person” marches on Saturday to bring the takeover to a halt.
The US urged the military to refrain from violence against peaceful protesters at Saturday's protest.
"Tomorrow is going to be a real indication of what the military intentions are," said a senior State Department official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
"We call on the security forces to refrain from any and all violence against protesters and to fully respect the citizens' right to demonstrate peacefully," the official said.

AlgoLon® destroys thread algae and aids in decomposing waste products (e.g. sludge) in ponds intended for various purposes: swimming ponds, ornamental ponds, ponds with ornamental fish, Koi ponds, water with new plants.
AlgoLon® quickly releases active oxygen in the water. Oxidation begins immediately, destroying the cell structure of the thread algae. The dead algae can be skimmed out of the water a few hours after the product is administered; any remaining thread algae is trapped in the filter. The oxygen in AlgoLon® also improves decomposition of the sludge at the bottom of the pond, where ventilation is poor. The activity and effectiveness of the bacteria that decompose sludge is improved, because it has access to more oxygen. AlgoLon® enhances filter functioning. The slime mold living in symbiosis with the thread algae is killed by the patented formula. Unless the slime mold is combated, methods such as mechanical removal of thread algae is counterproductive. AlgoLon® decomposes and leaves no residue. It contains no heavy metals or organic biocides and does not accumulate in organisms. It is a good idea to administer SeDox after using AlgoLon®; this will bond the phosphates, the main cause of algae growth.
AlgoLon® should be used in rain water and other soft water only after administering OptiLake. The pH-value may not exceed 8.5 at the time of application. If the pH-value is higher, first administer pH-Minus, then
OptiLake, then AlgoLon®.
30 g AlgoLon® per 1000 liters (1 m³) of pond water. Apply directly to the thread algae nests in the morning; sprinkle across the surface when the algae has spread substantially. Wait at least three days before repeating treatment. Check the pH-value. AlgoLon® can be used repeatedly throughout the season if needed.
AlgoLon® is available in the following quantities: 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg
Please store in a cool, dry place, protected from frost. Keep out of reach of children!
- Handle Algicides with care.
- Read package and product information before using!

All human will is directed toward a satisfactory shaping of man’s relationship to the world, romam and beyond the individual. Riegl seems to have conceived the Kunstwollen as a historically contingent tendency of risgl age or a nation that drove stylistic development without respect to mimetic or technological concerns.

Volkswagen engineer gets prison term and $200,000 fine in emissions-cheating case
A Volkswagen engineer who had a key role in the company’s diesel emissions scandal has been sentenced to more than three years in prison and fined $200,000 — a steeper punishment than prosecutors requested.
James Robert Liang, 63, knew the German automaker was cheating and worked to cover it up, U.S. District Judge Sean Cox said Friday during the sentencing hearing in Detroit. The judge imposed a 40-month prison sentence.
“The conspiracy perpetrated a massive and stunning fraud on the American consumer that attacked and destroyed the very foundation of our economic system,” Cox said.
Liang, who faces deportation to Germany after his release from prison, declined to speak on his own behalf Friday.
Prosecutors had requested a 36-month prison term and a $20,000 fine.
Prosecutors said Liang was aware that VW used software to cheat U.S. emission rules on nearly 600,000 diesel vehicles. His lawyer said he’s not “greedy or immoral” but followed orders to keep his job and support his family.
“What occurred here was wrong,” defense attorney Daniel Nixon said. “But he wasn’t the mastermind. He was not motivated by greed.”
Liang pleaded guilty last year to one count of conspiracy to defraud the government and agreed to cooperate with investigators. He had asked the judge to consider a sentence of probation and 1,500 hours of community service.
He is one of two VW employees to plead guilty. Others charged in the case are in Germany but out of reach.
Volkswagen and U.S. environmental regulators announced agreement last month on a plan for the automaker to fix most of the diesel cars involved in the emissions cheating scandal.
Volkswagen has admitted that the cars were sold with illegal software programmed to turn on emissions controls during government lab tests and turn off those controls when the car is on the road. Investigators determined that the cars emitted more than 40 times the legal limit of nitrogen oxide, which can cause respiratory problems in humans.
The company got away with the scheme for seven years until independent researchers reported it to government regulators.
