Rose Anne Kenny

Rose Anne Kenny is an Irish geriatrician. She is the Regius Professor of Physic and a professor of medical gerontology at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), director of the Falls and Black-out Unit at St James's Hospital in Dublin, director of the Mercer's Institute for Successful Ageing and founding principal investigator for The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). She was admitted in 2014 to the Royal Irish Academy in recognition of academic excellence and achievement. Kenny is a fellow of Trinity College Dublin and of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of Ireland, London and Edinburgh.

Kenny is the Strategic Director for the Academic Health Sciences Centre, St James’s Hospital and Trinity College Dublin in 2021 and is a member of the Advisory Board,  for the Dutch Heart Brain Consortium and of the Association for Physicians, for Great Britain and Ireland since 1994. In 2020, she became President of the Irish Gerontological Society, an all-Ireland interdisciplinary organisation which facilitates research and education on ageing, translating research into improved and enhanced ageing-specific practices and policies. This research is concerned with the study of changes in older people’s physical and cognitive health, and the social changes people experience as they age. She is still active in her role as the Principal Investigator of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) at Trinity College Dublin, which works to translate its cutting edge ageing research on Ireland’s older population into effective policy to benefit society.

Career
Rose Anne Kenny began her career studying medicine at NUI Galway. She did her clinical training at Hammersmith Hospital and Westminster Hospital in London. In 1989, Kenny was made professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Newcastle and spent sixteen years there; where she was head of academic and clinical departments of Medical Gerontology for twelve years. She also held the chair of cardiovascular research at Newcastle University. In 1992, Kenny established the first dedicated syncope service in the UK, a practice which has been replicated worldwide.

In 2005, she was appointed professor of Medical Gerontology at TCD and as head of the academic department of Medical Gerontology at St James' Hospital Dublin. Kenny is the founding Principal Investigator of TILDA, Ireland's primary research study on ageing that looks at the health, lifestyles and financial situation of 8,504 people as they grow older and sees how their circumstances change. Her research in cardiovascular and mobility ageing issues has led to the incorporation of novel tests of motion range and cognitive health in TILDA. She has published over 500 pieces of work and is also the Founding Director, of the Trinity Ageing Research Centre, (TARC), (formerly known as Trinity CollegeTrinity EngAGE), Trinity College Dublin's Centre for Research in Ageing. Kenny is co-founder and director of the Mercer's Institute for Successful Ageing where she set up a 120-bed clinical research facility, the largest purpose built clinical research facility for aging in Ireland and the UK. She has also published extensively on cardiovascular risk factors for falls and cognitive decline in ageing. Professor Rose Anne Kenny's research interests are in neurocardiovascular function in ageing and cardiovascular and cerebral dysfunction in syncope, falls, cognitive impairment and dementia.

Kenny is Advisor to the Irish Government for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and to the Irish Citizens' Assembly on Ageing. She is Board Member of the EU H2020 Advisory Group for Societal Challenge and Co-Chair of the working group "Transforming the Future of Ageing" led by the Scientific Advisory Policy by European Academies. Her contribution to science has been recognised by many awards including the Lady Illingworth Research Award, the BUPA Foundation Care Award and membership of the Royal Irish Academy.

In  September 2017, she was awarded the Presidential Medal, the highest honour from The Irish Gerontological Society for her achievements in the field of gerontological research at the 65th Annual & Scientific Meeting. She was also awarded the World Congress on Falls and Postural Stability (WCFPS) Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019 and Health Hero by the Irish Times in 2018. Kenny also holds achievements as the 2021 Honorary Fellow Faculty of Public Health Medicine (F.F.P.H.M.I (Hon)) and has chaired the selection committee for Provost of Trinity College Dublin, 2021.

Media Appearances
Professor Kenny has made numerous appearances on both TV and radio platforms over the past decade, regularly appearing at least monthly in Irish media interviews in television, radio and print. Some examples include contributing towards a two-hour documentary that she wrote and delivered (2010) on ageing for Ireland’s national broadcaster (RTE) called The End of Ageing; Nationwide (2018), Ear to the Ground (2020) and “10 Things to Know About…” (2020) where she communicated research from the TILDA study and its COVID-19 related research studies. She has also given television interviews to Al-Jazeera English, BBC and numerous radio interviews (Drivetime RTE, Newstalk and RTE Radio One), and her research has also featured in several podcasts and newspaper articles. In partnership with the GAA, she delivered a National Road Show and public outreach campaign delivering insight and research on, ‘How to Age Well’ communicating research to each county in Ireland in 2019 and early 2020. She has written a new book entitled, Age is Not a Number soon to be published by Bonnier Publications, of London and Stockholm in January 2022.

Automobile Maintenance

Cars are great fun to drive and to mess around with, but they are also powerful, heavy and (statistically) they kill and injure more people than modern warfare.

Driving
Nobody ever died simply by going too fast in a vehicle! Really. Not ever. What kills is the sudden deceleration following a collision!

When driving, 'regularly check how well your brakes are working in this situation, (weather, road-surface, congestion etc.). Remember, when driving, the  'kill zone'  where drivers die is just ahead of you about where your headlights shine - from the front fender (bumper-bar) forwards (your safe stopping distance).

In town, this is usually about the distance between two street-lights (around 50 metres or yards): Twice what instructors teach? Why so long? Just because we mechanics are paranoid, that doesn't mean they (machines and people) are not out to get us! Did you know that more people died on USA roads in September 2001 than in the twin-towers attack in 9-11?

Fixing
Engines are massive get hot, may contain pressurized boiling water and have big batteries, all of which can cause severe burns. Never wear exposed metal badges or jewellery (remove any finger rings or be sure to wear gloves (recommended anyway) or cover them with sticky tape). That way, they can not short-circuit the battery and cause a spark nor snag in moving parts, OK? (Finger amputation is best done in sterile hospital by a medical team rather than by yourself inside a messy engine bay, honest!)

Vehicles are not only heavy, they are usually fitted with wheels. Always use mechanical wedges ( 'wooden chocks' ) to prevent the vehicle from rolling - do not trust the mechanical handbrake. Not ever! And if you use a mechanical or hydraulic lifting jack, invest in some substantial wooden blocks to take the weight and then remove the jack. Finally - from a safe position, try rocking the body - if it is going to collapse, probably it is better if you are alongside and not underneath, right?

Personal protective equipment

 * Overalls. Sharp screws and rivets may tear heavy denim or cotton clothing, but that is probably less painful than ripped skin. Nudity is distinctly hazardous when working on vehicles.
 * Steel-toe boots are a sound investment, and are now lighter, more comfortable and altogether more fashionable than those pictured above)
 * plastic goggles if you use power tools - as blindness is not conducive to driving or reparing.
 * protective skin cream and disposable rubber gloves are cheap and, if used before starting work, are much less irritating than washing off black oil with gorilla snot or abrasive hand-cleaner. Bleaching soiled skin with household products is not recommended, but is sometimes practised in extremis - always use hand-cream to preserve sensitivity at your fingertips and to minimize damage to your hands.
 * Lumber is not really PPE, but at least two triangular wedge chocks and several rectangular body support blocks of different sizes) are the safest support, because, unlike brick or stone which can crumble rapidly, wood tends to splinter gradually and noisily, giving you valuable seconds to escape or fix the problem.
 * Protective face masks are essential for some jobs involving smoke or paint a, but, above all,
 * Care and attention is always essential, as accidents mostly are caused by a heap of small errors - and  we mechanics are not paid to make mistakes, now  are we?

Routine Maintenance
Your car, when it was delivered as a new product, usually has an owner's (user's) manual. This manual will describe the various periodic checks and maintenance suggested by the manufacturer as appropriate to keep the car safely operational with a minimum of problems.

 * Checking tire tread.

Tires made for a passenger car or light truck will have straight grooves cut in the tread with small sections cut exactly 2/32nd of an inch higher than the groove. These raised sections are called wear indicator bars or wear bars. If the tread is worn down to the wear bars, the tire is considered unsafe and illegal in some states. Poor tire tread will slip more during braking, give longer braking distance, interfere with ABS, and cause loss of control.

Excessive tire wear is a good indicator of other problems in the suspension. Wear on either side or short tire life shows a need for alignment. Wear on both sides shows underinflation. Wear in the center shows overinflation.

 * Checking tire air pressure.

Do not inflate tires to the pressure labeled on the side of the tire. Tires generally have the appropriate air pressure printed on a label inside the drivers door, inside the gas cap, or in the manual. This pressure is based on the load (vehicle weight) placed on the volume of air. The listed pressure is for an unloaded vehicle, based on sprung (above the spring) weight and a 150 lb. driver. An increase in weight may call for higher pressure to keep the proper shape on the tire.

Air loss over time and temperature variation from winter lows to summer peaks guarantee that tires not checked periodically will run at low pressures or high pressures. Use of nitrogen can counteract this effect. This results in reduced road gripping capability and premature wear on the tires, reducing the effectiveness and life of the tire. Check for the correct air pressure once a month or every couple of fueling stops.

 * Checking fluid levels

Fluid level is very important in all vehicles as low or even overfilled fluids can cause malfunctions or even damage. Recommended fluid levels can be found on the sides of fluid reseviors (if Equipped) or can be checked by means of a dipstick. certain fluid levels can only be checked under certain criteria whether it be with the engine running or off, hot or cold depending on the system. always check levels on a flat level surface as an inclination will give erroneous level readings. Each system uses a different fluid type. most systems require fluids for lubricaion others require fluid for creating pressure to perform a task. all underhood fluids that perform a task are formulated similarly across all vehicle manufactureres but may vary with certain models always check an owners manual or underhood stickers before adding. some vehicles require a special fluid

The brake fluid reservoir should not be opened unless you are performing repairs. Brake fluid is hygrophobic and will absorb water from the air, which degrades heat tolerance and performance. Current standards hold that the fluid level should be visible without opening. Low or missing fluid will trigger the float sensor and light up the brake warning light. If you are low on brake fluid, check your brake pads for wear.

 * Checking the oil.

Most cars and truck have an easily accessible dipstick to make routine checking of the oil easy. When you fill up with fuel either ask the station attendent or check the oil yourself. Extract the dipstick. Wipe it down clean with a clean rag or paper towel. Reinsert the dipstick all the way. Extract it again and look for marks near its end that are labeled as being a full zone, needing a quart, or add more than a quart.

 * Adding oil when necessary.

When adding oil be sure to locate the proper spout to put the oil in. Many cars and trucks have places to add transmission fluid, brake fluid, windshield cleaners, radiator coolant in the same engine compartment. It will thoroughly mess things up to be putting motor oil in the improper place!. Check the owner's manual or look for specific labeling on the spout plug. Oil is typically but not always added at or near the top of the engine block.

 * Changing the oil.

 * Checking the transmission fluid in automatic transmissions.

 * Changing brake pads on disc brakes.

Replacing your own pads is never recommended due to liability. Worn pads can be visible through the caliper, usually after the tires are removed. Use a clamp to compress the pads toward the caliper to push the piston out of the way. Open the bleeder nut to relieve pressure and try not to force fluid up the brake line. Push the piston to the bottom. Remove the slider pins to pull the caliper away. Do not disconnect the brake line or let the caliper fall and pull on the line. Keep the thin metal clips and plates, they reduce noise. Reassemble and fill brake fluid.

 * Lights

It is appropriate every couple of months to check that all your lights are working and in the case of headlights aimed properly. To check direction of headlights on low and high beam park square in front of the side of a building or back of a garage and toggle the headlights to get an idea of where the high and low beams are aimed. The low beam should be aimed down a bit and slightly away from on coming drivers. The high beams are higher to penetrate down the road and also slightly off center to reduce visibility problems for oncoming drivers. It is important and useful to clean dirt and grime off of lights even if the car undergoes no other periodic washing. This enhances the effectiveness of the lights.

 * Washing and Waxing Exterior

Routine washing can substantially reduce corrosion problems while waxing can extend the lifetime of the paint on the car exterior. Some cars now have special exterior coatings on top of the paint so checking the owner's manual for suggested washing practices is appropriate.

Repairs as Necessary
Repairs as necessary usually occur when an automobile no longer functions safely or at all. It could involve something easily done for yourself such as changing a flat tire using a spare from your trunk or something much more demanding such as overhauling or repairing a transmission.

Equipping a Home Shop for Automobile Maintenance
The basic tools needed for home maintenance is actually quite simple. Most small repairs and maintenance can be done with either a metric or standard set of sockets and wrenches respectively. A ratchet can make repairs a lot faster. Both flat head and Phillips screw drivers could be needed. A small tire gauge gives a quick, inexpensive, and easy way to determine of your tires have enough pressure increasing fuel economy.

Diagnostics
All machines are prone to failure. In vehicle maintenance and repair, it is necessary to properly diagnose the cause of failure so that one does not needlessly replace or worsen vehicle components. Mechanics use deductive reasoning to locate the source of problems.

For example, if the vehicle does not start, details about the failure will point the mechanic in the direction of the source of the problem. The vehicle could wind up and not turn over, indicating that the source of the problem is fuel, as an electrical problem can be ruled out. Then it is a simple matter of tracing the flow of fuel. If it did not crank, then it would be electrical, and one would merely trace the flow of electricity.

The first step in diagnostics is deducing which system contains the fault. In the above example, we were deducing if it was either the fuel or electrical system. Once we can conclude the system that is at fault, we have to trace the system starting at its origin (eg fuel tank, batteries) and follow it to the at fault component (eg starter motor.) The exception to this rule however is if the component is relatively easy to access, easy to replace, and cheap to replace, it maybe favorable to view this earlier on.

For example if a headlight is out, it maybe unnecessary to start at the batteries. A simple check at the lamp or fuse box may suffice, as both of these products are cheap and easy to replace. It also should be noted that these items were made to be easily replaced due to their short lifespans (compared to the rest of the vehicle.)

Lockwood–Mathews Mansion

The Lockwood–Mathews Mansion is a Second Empire style country house in Norwalk, Connecticut. Now a museum, it was built in 1864-68 for railroad and banking magnate LeGrand Lockwood. The 62-room 44000 sqft mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978.

It has been described as "one of the earliest and finest surviving Second Empire style country houses ever built in the United States." It sits at 295 West Ave., in Mathews Park, where the Stepping Stones Museum for Children is also located.

As private home

The home was built on an estate, then called "Elm Park," for LeGrand Lockwood, who made his fortune in banking and the railroad industry. Construction began in 1864 just west of the Norwalk River in Norwalk and was completed four years later. Designed by European-trained, New York-based architect Detlef Lienau, the 44000 sqft mansion features 26402 sqft of living space and "is considered his most significant surviving work," according to the association. Both American and immigrant artisans worked to construct and decorate the house. Prominent New York decorating firms, including Herter Brothers and Leon Marcotte were contracted to furnish the mansion's interiors.

Financial reversals in 1869 and Lockwood's death in 1872 resulted in loss of the estate through foreclosure in 1874 by Lockwood's heirs. Charles D. Mathews, described in his New York Times obituary as "a very wealthy retired New-York provision dealer", and his wife, Rebecca Thompson Mathews, bought the property in 1876. The mansion was a residence and suburban retreat for the Mathews family, with their Thompson and Martin relatives, until the death of Charles's daughter Florence in 1938.

As museum

Built in 1864–68, the home is an early example of the style used by wealthy New York City elites such as the Vanderbilts in building their Gilded Age mansions later in the 19th century, and set a new standard for opulence. In 1941 the estate was sold to the City of Norwalk, which designated it a public park. The city had planned in 1959 "to build a city hall in the park and tear down the mansion to make way for it." Considerable controversy and claims of bad faith ensued, leaving the building threatened with demolition. Local preservationists formed Lockwood–Mathews Mansion Museum, Inc. to run the site. The Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk eventually led a late 1960s restoration, supported by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the American Institute of Architects, the National Park Service, and the Connecticut Historical Commission. The home was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971.

According to the museum organization's Web site, the museum's mission "is to conserve the building while creating educational programs on the material, artistic and social culture of the Victorian era,".

A master plan for a more comprehensive restoration of the mansion was expected to be completed in 2007. Plans for renovation work at the museum include adding an elevator, and systems for heating, air conditioning, and sprinklers. Renovation costs are likely to total about $6 million, museum officials said in May 2007, before the master plan was complete.

In a decades-long Christmastime tradition, interior decorators deck out about a dozen rooms in the mansion with holiday decorations. An annual "community celebration" is held in December with Christmas music, refreshments and a Santa Claus. In 2007, 10 interior decorators volunteered their services and materials for the event.

The museum has hosted an annual antique show since 1978. In 2006 the show was held the last weekend in October and attracted dealers from Ohio and Pennsylvania as well as Connecticut.

In the 2000s, statues and furniture that had originally been in the mansion were bought and placed back in it. Two marble statues, sculpted in 1859 by Joseph Mozier, an American artist, and bought by Lockwood, were purchased for $185,000. A $165,000 sofa original to the home was also acquired and brought back to it.

The home was used as a filming location for the 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives. Paramount Pictures paid the museum $400,000 to paint its central rotunda. The studio also left behind some large paintings (in essence, theatrical pastiches), which serve to emphasize the dramatic size of the rotunda. As a result, the walls look fresh and decorated, and will remain protected until further funds become available for proper, curatorial restoration of the original damaged surfaces.

The mansion was also featured in the movie House of Dark Shadows.

abloom
I'm glad that someone finally put something about abloom on wikipedia, as they were one of the best bands in recent memory. However, this isn't the appropriate place for it. I mean half of the article talks about abloom, which is a band that contains only two members of onesidezero. I could understand if every member of OSZ was involved, having this much of the article dedicated to abloom, however they weren't so this really isn't the appropriate place for it. The page definitely needs references to abloom and a link to an article on the band, so i don't think that the info should be deleted, until said article is created.<IP_ADDRESS> 06:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

This crap about abloom is here because this page was most likely written by Jasan Radford. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:38, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Still Together?
A few years ago I read that the band disbanded. Are they still together as the article states? --Ortzinator 17:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * yes they disbanded a few years ago, and all worked on seperate side projects (most notably abloom, featuring 3/4s of the recently disbanded soulfly) but they got back together about a year or so ago for some "reunion" gigs, and decided to actually start the band back up. Similarly they almost broke up before their album was recorded, and were only going to circulate the 2000 demos as a sort of fairwell type deal, when someone at maverick heard the demos and gave them a deal.<IP_ADDRESS> 21:03, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

similar
the similar section needs to be reworked or removed entirely as OSZ don't really sound like any of the bands listed.

the "other" OSZ
Maybe the other onesidezero (the design company) deserves their own wikpedia page (although i doubt it). In any event, the reference to the design company should be removed from this article, and a disambiguation page created.

The other OSZ should have a page on wiki somewhere about them, i don't think there is at the moment but they look pretty cool...

I edited this page abit, i took out the "Similar Bands" section, as OSZ don't really sound anything like any of the bands listed. I took out the part about the "other OSZ", if that company is notable enough to have it's own wikipedia article, then someone can create one, and create a disambiguation page for onesidezero. I moved the part about Jasan contributing to the Digimon soundtrack into a trivia section, and re-worded it (i highly doubt that anyone would know who he was because of those two songs, and not years of touring with this band). I also removed two of the three superfluous listings of THE SAME ITRGS promo (it was listed twice as a single.. wtf?) and i'm considering deleting the third, as the only notable thing about the promo is the alternate art, and that should really be a trivia entry on the album's wikipedia article. In the future i may add more to this article (as it badly needs more substance), but not right now, as i have shit to do.<IP_ADDRESS> 16:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Nghệ An province

Nghệ An is a coastal province near the northernmost part of the North Central Coast region, Central Vietnam. It borders Thanh Hóa to the north, Hà Tĩnh to the south, Xiangkhouang, Bolikhamsai and Houaphan of Laos to the west, and the East Sea (Gulf of Tonkin) to the east.

Nghệ An is Vietnam's largest province by area. It is located on the east–west economic corridor connecting Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam along National Route 7 to the port of Cửa Lò.

Nghệ An has one city, three towns and 17 districts. Vinh is the capital of Nghệ An and the economic and cultural center of the province and of the whole North Central Coast.

History
Nghệ An and Thanh Hoá were the bases of the Lê dynasty against the Mạc dynasty in the 1530s.

Administrative divisions
Nghệ An is subdivided into 21 district-level sub-divisions:
 * 1 provincial city: Vinh (capital)
 * 3 district-level towns: Cửa Lò, Thái Hòa, Hoàng Mai
 * 17 districts: Anh Sơn, Con Cuông, Diễn Châu, Đô Lương, Hưng Nguyên, Kỳ Sơn, Nam Đàn, Nghi Lộc, Nghĩa Đàn, Quế Phong, Quỳ Châu, Quỳ Hợp, Quỳnh Lưu, Tân Kỳ, Thanh Chương, Tương Dương, Yên Thành

They are further subdivided into 17 commune-level towns (or townlets), 431 communes, and 32 wards.

Natural resources
Nghệ An has a total forest land area of 972,910.52 ha. Of which, production forest is 501,634.85 hectares, protection forest is 302,068.47 hectares, special-use forest is 169,207.2 hectares. With a total reserve of about 50 million cubic meters, over 1,000 million of bamboo trees are a significant source of raw materials for forestry exploitation and the development of forest-based industries. Nghệ An has 82 km long coastline with an area of 4,230 nautical miles per square foot, along the coast has 6 creeks, over 3,000 ha of saltwater and brackish water, and 12,000 ha of freshwater and brackish water surface. Aquaculture development and processing. Nghệ An has a large reserve of some minerals, especially minerals used for the production of construction materials such as limestone for cement production of nearly 4 billion tons; White limestone over 900 million tons; Clay for cement materials is over 1.2 billion tons; Clay for high-grade ceramics 5 million m3; Construction stone of 500 million m3; Basalt rock 260 million m3; Paving stones: Granite: 150 million m3, Marble 300 million m3, etc.

Infrastructure
Nghệ An has six national highways running through the province (NH 1A, NH 15, NH Ho Chi Minh, NH7, NH46, NH48). There is a trans-Asia route from Laos through the Thanh Thuy border gate to Cửa Lò and Dong Hoi port, along with provincial and district roads to create an interconnected network linking districts and economic zones. Cửa Lò port has a capacity of 3 million tons per year, and is capable of accommodating 10,000 DWT vessels. Currently, a deep-water port has been planned and is being built to accommodate ships of 50,000 DWT–100,000 DWT. In addition, Dong Hoi is a dedicated port that is currently being built and is capable of receiving 30,000–50,000 DWT vessels.

Nghệ An's Vinh International Airport is the main airport of the North Central region and is the fifth most visited international airport in Vietnam. Currently, Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air and Pacific Airlines operate an on average 26 flights per day. Vietnam Airlines operates four return flights: Vinh–Hanoi, Vinh–Ho Chi Minh City, Vinh–Da Nang and Vinh–Vientiane, Laos; VietJet Air operates Vinh–Ho Chi Minh City and Vinh–Da Lat; Pacific Airlines operates Vinh–Ho Chi Minh City and Vinh–Buon Ma Thuot.

Nghệ An has 94 km of the north–south railway. In particular, Ga Vinh is a first class station, and is the third largest passenger and cargo terminal and hub in the country.
