It's almost like something out of a fairy tale: a young person trapped by a mysterious illness, one caused by the (usually) female caretaker they're supposed to trust. But that's what happens when someone has Munchausen by proxy, and that's the disorder Hulu's new anthology true crime series "The Act" shows with its first season, which is a dramatic retelling of the real-life horror story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard.
As a child, Gypsy's mother convinced her that she was gravely ill and, as a result, Gypsy spent much of her life enduring unnecessary medical treatment. She had to keep her head shaved, was confined to a wheelchair, and was even fed through a tube at times. However, as Gypsy got older, the cracks in her mother's story began to show, and their relationship came to a bloody end when Gypsy's online boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, murdered Dee Dee in June 2015, allegedly at Gypsy's request, PEOPLE reports. Both Godejohn and Gypsy would ultimately be sentenced for Dee Dee's killing, and Gypsy is currently serving out a 10-year sentence behind bars.
It's a grisly true story, one that is sure to recapture national attention when the Hulu retelling, which stars "Fargo" actress Joey King as Gypsy and "Medium" star Patricia Arquette as Dee Dee, premieres on March 20.
In the years since Dee Dee's murder, Gypsy Rose Blanchard has become one of the most well-known (alleged) victims of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Here's what you need to know about the disturbing disorder at the center of her story.
The University of Michigan defines Munchausen syndrome by proxy as a disorder in which a caretaker pretends that someone under their care, often a child or any vulnerable individual such as an elderly or disabled person, is sick or injured in some way, at times even going to great lengths to cause the illness or inflict that injury onto their target.
The disorder got its name from Baron von Munchausen, a fictional German nobleman character created by writer Rudolf Erich Raspe in the 18th century, who exaggerated about his experiences in order to get more attention, the Rady's Children Hospital in San Diego wrote in its run-down of the disorder.
Munchausen by proxy is a disorder known by several names. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual refers to it as a factitious disorder by proxy, while the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children refers to the disorder as "pediatric condition falsification" when referencing a child victim, and "factitious disorder by proxy" when talking about a perpetrator, Laura Criddle, RN and PhD., wrote in "Monsters in the Closet: Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy."
Regardless of what name is being used, Munchausen by proxy is categorized as abuse and, as with any form of abuse, all healthcare providers are legally bound to report any suspected instances of it.
What are the warning signs of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy?
There are a few clear warning signs that suggest a child or other vulnerable person may be a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Children may be hospitalized more often than normal and their symptoms may appear strange and get worse, yet those symptoms are only witnessed by the caretaker and never by an outside healthcare professional, according to the Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit medical research center based in Ohio.
Other red flags include the results of a child's medical test not matching the problems their caretaker claims exist, or when their condition improves when they are in professional care but then worsens when they return home with their caretaker, the Cleveland Clinic states.
A parent with this disorder may do things like lie to healthcare professionals about their child's symptoms or even alter their child's test results to further prove to others that they are indeed ill, with the next step being causing harm to the child to produce the intended symptoms, according to the University of Michigan.
It also isn't uncommon for caretakers with this diagnosis to make the person under their care go through with treatment for the fictitious condition, including painful or otherwise harmful operations, which can lead to injury, sickness, lifelong psychological ramifications, or death, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Individuals who receive this diagnosis or who have similar disorders often engage in "disease forgery," according to psychiatrist and author Dr. Marc Feldman, a leading expert on the topic.
"They deliberately mislead others into thinking they (or their children) have serious medical or psychological problems, often resulting in extraordinary numbers of medication trials, diagnostic tests, hospitalizations, and even surgery... that they know are not really needed," he writes on his website on the subject.
Perpetrators do not do these things for financial gain, but in order to satisfy an emotional need for attention, according to the Newport Academy Healing Center.
Who is most affected by Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy?
Some estimates suggest that around 1,000 of the 2.5 million child abuse cases reported each year can be attributed to Munchausen syndrome by proxy, according to the Cleveland Clinic. While the exact cause of the disorder is still unknown, doctors have theorized that perpetrators may have experienced trauma such as abuse or neglect in their childhoods, and that abusive episodes may be triggered by highly stressful events in the perpetrator's life.
While fathers can be diagnosed with Munchausen syndrome by proxy, the disorder is more common in mothers, according to Rady's Children Hospital, which puts the number of female cases at 85 percent.
The disorder is also a costly one, with estimates suggesting that fictitious disorders like Munchausen by proxy cost the US $40 million per year in wasted resources, MDs Kamil Jaghab, Kenneth B. Skodnek, and Tanveer A. Padder wrote in "Munchausen's Syndrome and Other Factitious Disorders in Children."
What did it look like for Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard?
As a child, Gyspy believed that she had leukemia and muscular dystrophy, as well as hearing and vision impairments, according to ABC News. Her mother had her use a wheelchair and at times, she fed her using feeding tubes that she did not really need. She would also routinely shave Gypsy's head to mimic the look of a cancer patient.
Dee Dee's behavior was extreme, but as Arquette said in an interview with Parade earlier this month, it was indicative of a more deeply rooted problem within Dee Dee.
"Dee Dee wants attention because she feels like a nonperson, a nothing. Her concept of intimacy is distorted. She just wants it to be the two of them in this house forever. She has Munchausen by proxy, and everyone [experts] interview with Munchausen by proxy denies they have it," she said.
Gypsy reflected on her childhood with her mother during a prison interview with BuzzFeed in 2016, where she explained that even the doctors believed that Dee Dee was "devoted and caring."
"I think she would have been the perfect mom for someone that actually was sick. But I'm not sick," she said. "There's that big, big difference."

CHNM celebrates 10th anniversary
From its humble origins in the mind "and on the personal computer" of a single historian at George Mason University to its current place as one of the most respected and visited Internet sources for history with nearly ten million visitors a year, the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) is proudly celebrating its tenth anniversary. Almost as old as the Web itself, since 1994 CHNM has used digital media and computer technology to democratize history – to incorporate multiple voices, reach diverse audiences, and encourage popular participation in presenting and preserving the past.
See http://chnm.gmu.edu/old_news/archives/chnm_10th_anniv_pr.pdf for the full press release.
CHNM Director recognized for "excellence in the humanities"
In a ceremony held December 9, 2004 at Old Town Hall in Fairfax, Virginia, CHNM Director, Roy Rosenzweig was presented with the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities' Award for Excellence in the Humanities. The award recognizes citizens whose work – both professional and volunteer – has significantly benefited Virginians, and whose efforts embody the Virginia Foundation mission "to develop the civic, cultural, and intellectual life of the Commonwealth by creating learning opportunities for all Virginians – to bring the humanities fully into Virginia's public life, assisting individuals and communities in their efforts to understand the past, confront important issues in the present, and shape a desirable future." One of six recipients this year, Rosenzweig was singled out for the work he has done in the creation and development of CHNM and for his standing as a pioneer in the use of emerging technologies for the research, study, and teaching of history.

Roy Rosenzweig discusses digital preservation in Investors Business Daily
"RESEARCHERS LOOK TO SAVE DISAPPEARING LANGUAGES ONLINE"
BY SHEILA RILEY
FOR INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Academics are creating repositories of information in cyberspace – and making the ivory tower more democratic in the process.
Preserving endangered languages is one example. Researchers look to catalog languages that are rarely spoken, so that the tongues won't be lost to the
ages.
"People whose languages have ceased to be spoken have come to appreciate them afterward," said Doug Whalen, a linguistics researcher at Haskins Laboratories, affiliated with Yale University in New Haven, Conn.
A record of the language, particularly a spoken record, is invaluable – especially if a tongue is disappearing.
Whalen says efforts to revive languages can be difficult because the communities that spoke them – mostly indigenous peoples – are often scattered.
Online access to materials is critical for academics studying languages and people who are trying to recover lost languages, he says.
The University of California, Berkeley, is working to get its endangered-language print and audio archives online for that reason.
Preserving languages has a huge societal benefit, according to Leanne Hinton, head of UC Berkeley's linguistics department. The alternative would lead to losses at many levels, she says. "When we lose a language in the world, we're losing a lot (more…)
CHNM to build database for National Museum of American Jewish History
CHNM has been awarded a contract build a custom collections management system for the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. The new system will allow NMAJH researchers working at museums and historical societies around the nation to upload and organize images and information about collections of American Judaica via a web-based interface. NMAJH will use the system to create comprehensive database of artifacts from American Jewish history in preparation for a planned new permanent exhibition.
CHNM to build custom software tools for NEH's Edsitement portal
In partnership with the City University of New York's City College and the American Social History Project, and with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Center for History and New Media is proud to annouce the launch of a new project called Lessons of History.
CHNM has been awarded nearly $150,000 to build three new software tools for the NEH's EDSITEment web portal, including a "Text Collection and Annotation Tool," an "Image Collection and Annotation Tool," and an "Image Manipulation Tool." These tools will be integral parts of the Lessons of History project, which will also include student interactive activities and lesson plans. The tools will enable the project's focus on facilitating the close reading of important documents, visual and textual, of the American political past. Students will use these tools to gather and then closely analyze the online historical documents creating knowledge with the materials of history. The tools will allow for the modeling of good practice by educators as well as the creation of new knowledge by students.
The Lessons of History tool-building project leverages CHNM's substantial experience in providing guides to how historians analyze evidence such as photographs or maps. For example, on the website History Matters: (more…)

WWE Releases Of Keith Lee, Others Highlight Failures To Create New Stars
Keith Lee was released from his WWE contract.
Credit: WWE
WWE announced yet another round of releases in what is becoming a grim pattern from an era where stock price is king in Titan Towers.
Budget cuts were once again named as the culprit per a company-wide email from Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis. Andrew Zarian (h/t Wrestling Inc.) has since reported that COVID-19 vaccination status played a part in a few key releases. Keith Lee, Mia Yim, Karrion Kross, Scarlett Bordeaux, Eva Marie, Nia Jax, Franky Monet and Ember Moon headlined the latest round of roster cuts. In total, 18 WWE and NXT stars were released from their contract on Thursday. Most NXT performers are expected to officially become free agents as of December 4, 2021, while WWE performers' 90-day non-compete clauses will expire on February 2, 2022.
News of the mass releases came shortly after WWE released its Q3 2021 earnings where the promotion reported $255.8 million of revenue in the quarter, up 15% from the same period in 2020. WWE's adjusted OIBDA of $77.9 million was down 8% from the Q3 2020, while profits came in at $43.5 million, down 11% from Q3 2020.
Given the way Karrion Kross (with Scarlett in tow), Keith Lee, Nia Jax, Franky Monet, and Ember Moon thrived in NXT and other promotions, WWE cutting ties with talent that was inexplicably struggling prior to their release serves as a glaring indictment of the company's own ability to create new stars. Since John Cena left full-time competition for greener pastures in Hollywood, WWE has struggled mightily to replace Cena—and, for that matter, an entire generation of the 2010s—with a crop of transcendent top stars.
WWE Releases | Full List
Keith Lee, Mia Yim, Karrion Kross, Scarlett Bourdeaux, Eva Marie, Nia Jax, Karrion Kross, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, Eva Marie, B-Fab, Harry Smith, Trey Baxter, Jessi Kamea, Jeet Rama, Zaya Ramier, Katrina Cortez and Franky Monet.
Many recently released names have had all the star power and marketability to become the next John Cena, but WWE has developed a habit of creating self-inflicted wounds with otherwise promising talent. The fact that WWE is still featuring Bray Wyatt in new toy lines speaks to the level of wasted potential that was so egregious, WWE still seems to be trying to salvage money left on the table when it sabotaged The Fiend.
MORE FROM FORBESWWE Is Already Screwing Up Keith Lee As Struggles With New Stars ContinueBy null
Just a few short months ago, Keith Lee became the first NXT star to simultaneously hold both the NXT and NXT North American Championships. Lee's defining moment came when he defeated Adam Cole, who has since gone on to become an even bigger star in AEW. Despite seeming like a ready-made star in his own right, dating back to his breakout performance at Survivor Series, Lee only struggled once he was officially called up to the main roster. A myriad of micromanagement took him from Keith Lee—a promising up-and-comer—to the over-produced Bearcat Keith Lee.
NXT used the tried and true Goldberg formula to create a bona-fide star in Karrion Kross, but all that simple-but-effective booking was undone in the span of a few short minutes when the undefeated heel suffered a shocking loss to Jeff Hardy.
The fact that WWE is in a competitive war with the considerably smaller AEW is yet another symptom of its struggles in maximizing its own roster by fostering a generation of top stars through its vast resources in production, marketing and broadcasting. Given the high-profile names that now themselves without a job, these WWE releases suddenly feel like a reset. In addition to the business-related reasons for WWE's aggressive cost-cutting, with some speculating that the company could be preparing for a possible sale, WWE's years-long ratings decline and shortcomings in key performance indicators tell a story of a company in transition. Rome is burning, and WWE's endless struggles are punctuated every time it makes an incision to an otherwise talented roster.
With every round of WWE releases comes countless stories of what could have been and wasted potential. Combined with the news of ROH going on a hiatus, pro wrestling's free agent pool is now saturated with more talent than ever before with only a limited stable of promotions that can take them on.
As WWE continues to pare its roster down to size, it will simultaneously run out of excuses as to how it has gone from a mainstream property at its peak to flirting with record-low viewership on an annual basis. At some point, significant changes will be required beyond the makeup of WWE's roster. By then, hopefully it won't be too late.

I appreciated that Jon & Jessica made plenty of time for photos. They had a short reception at the church after their ceremony and spent about three hours with me after the ceremony. We went to both Sunken Gardens and the Haymarket as well as shooting several portraits and informals at the church prior to the ceremony. This ensured they got lots and lots of photos to choose from.
Jon & Jessica were a real pleasure to work with – their faith and love for each other were apparent from when I first started talking to them. They were well aware of the vows they were taking and put God before everything else on their wedding day, and for that I applaud them. They're just all around great people – and incredibly attractive! A photographer's dream customer! Good luck to both of you, but you won't need it. You're a great couple, and thanks again for your business!
6 hours – over 1,700 photos.


The birth of a child is a wonderful occasion, it reminds us of the gift that life is, that it is full of potential and dreams to be lived.
In the Unitarian church, it is important for the new born child to welcomed into the community, not just that of his or her family but the wider human family of which we are all a part. It is like the infant a family that grows and evolves day by day.
A Unitarian naming ceremony offers such a welcome for a child and offers the chance for the family to celebrate their new arrival. The ceremony can be tailored to suit the beliefs of the parents or simply to reflect the virtues and aspirations that will be nurtured within their child. The service involves a blessing with water and perfumed oils.
The ceremony does not wash away or recognize original sin, nor does it enrol the infant into the Unitarian church.
* It is pointed out that some mainstream Christian churches may not recognize this ceremony as a valid sacrament and this may cause issues when applying for certain schools.
If this is an issue for parents then our minister, Rev Mike can also offer sacramental baptism within the Non Subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland. This is recognized by all Christian churches. Again it does not involve original sin or admit the infant into any church.

I Need a Bigger Gun
As we progress into the future, games become more and more limitless. When hardware or storage capacity used to hinder developers, new formats and emerging cloud gaming have basically done away with old constraints.
Have you ever noticed how most newer games lack unique or memorable arsenals? With all the power at their fingertips, developers still rely on the tried and true Doom arsenal to pepper their games with variety. Nothing against Doom or iD Software, but that was 1994.
We are in the year 2015. The fact that I couldn't recall any weapons from the latest Call of Duty is a tremendous problem. Even if the first game relied on period accurate weaponry, the series was known more for how it changed the way we utilize the guns more then the guns themselves.
Yes! That gun I've used in every game for the past 4 years!
Even with that, Call of Duty is eternally boring with it's selection of firearms. You have the general "Weapon" category and then everything to broken into sub-catregories. Rifles, Machine Guns, SMGs, Snipers; you name a real life gun, Call of Duty has it.
While this may make sense for a Tom Clancy game with it's focus on realism, Call of Duty should be pushing the boundaries of the genre. The games are the most popular thing in the medium and collect ridiculous amounts of money every year. You'd think Activision would want to spice things up a bit.
To lay off that franchise, what about any other games? Grand Theft Auto is guilty of phoning in the weapons. I remember the stupid glee I had when I first obtained the chainsaw in GTA: Vice City. About the coolest weapon I found in Grand Theft Auto V was a golf club.
Even Assassin's Creed has basically stopped innovating in terms of arsenals. Since Ezio introduced the dual hidden blade, every subsequent game has contained it. Ubisoft then started throwing in items that took away from the idea of stealth (who the hell wanted bombs?).
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate looks to remedy this problem, but I don't know if one game series is enough. As popular as those games may be, shooters still reign supreme and have been stagnant for a long time. I don't want to always rely on an M4 or ACR in my games.
I used to love old-school shooters with their insane, unrealistic and creative weapons. I loved how, when Half-Life took a turn for a more realistic style, the weapons remained unconventional. I truly love how Unreal introduced two firing modes.
Even their "real" guns had different modes.
Painkiller, a game which was seen as a bit vapid back in the day, has probably the best arsenal of any shooter around. There are only 6 weapons, but each gun has an alternate mode that is basically a new gun. It doubles the arsenal without bombarding the player with different models or information.
To that effect, Halo has always been fairly inventive with it's guns. While some are basically analogues for genre staples, the Needler and the Plasma pistol are wholly unique. The pistol is also god damned incredible with how well it balances the multi-player (as far as the first game is concerned).
Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena never had issues with balance as their arsenals were diverse and different. Obviously a rocket launcher was in both, but each game had a different feel and different fire rate. The rail-gun was a much faster sniper, while UT's plasma rifle and ripper have never been replicated.
You can dig through iD Software's past and find plenty of different guns. Quake had the lightning gun, Heretic had a damned staff and Doom introduced the world to the BFG 9000 (later upgraded to the BFG 10k for Quake 3).
And all was right with the world.
Then I go to my PS4, boot up Killzone: Shadow Fall and see weapons that can be replaced with any real world equivalent. It really makes newer games feel completely dated. What about when future warfare becomes a reality? Now these weapons will be old-school and worthless.
With the likes of old-school shooters, most of those weapons will never exist. Even if you could produce a facsimile, the game's weapon would remain an entity unto itself. The fun wouldn't be lost or feel lazy.
I would just like to see shooters try harder. The genre used to be a trailblazer for graphical technologies and creativity. Now, we pretty much have a paint by numbers system for creating first-person games. I don't want that to be the standard.

Splash Damage – Splatoon Demo Impressions
As a self proclaimed Nintendo fanboy, I was optimistic about Splatoon. I saw people playing it at PAX East, but didn't get a chance to wait in line. While everyone looked elated, I wasn't sold on the idea quite yet.
When I heard about a demo coming to the eShop, I figured that it would be a great way to experience the game in my own home. Why settle for a calculated and specified demo when I can just have at the game myself?
Nintendo, in their own esoteric way, decided to make the demo active for a few short hours. Instead of a typical weeks long "beta" that would give people a taste of the final build, Nintendo went ahead and included a server stress test in their demo.
Other than that being a clever idea, the limited window of opportunity made me excited beyond reason. Not only did I want to play this, I felt as if I needed to. I was itching all morning to give it a shot (had I realized there was a 7 am time, I would have tried it sooner!).
So I went about my usual Saturday routine of cleaning and volunteering; when I came home, I patiently waited downstairs fiddling around on my 3DS. The 10 minutes before the servers launched were an excruciating wait.
It's amazing how I've written so much without even talking about the game. Nintendo somehow made the prospect of a demo special. I remember a time when having a sample of a game meant you either had to subscribe to a magazine or keep the preview disc that came with your console.
Ah the good ol' days…
With the advent of the internet becoming integrated into a console, those special times were over. Microsoft allowed you to try out practically every game on the Xbox Live Marketplace via a demo. Sometimes the demos ended up being far better than the final product.
Splatoon's Global Testfire made me feel that way. I wasn't going out and picking up a magazine, but I had to discover the existence of the demo and do some research into the timeframes the servers would be active.
Maybe this is just how Nintendo rolls, but I feel this was a great way to build even more hype over this brand new IP. Nintendo hasn't really created an original idea in a long time (excluding Codename STEAM), so many people were playing the waiting game.
Without any kind of hands-on, I probably would have dismissed Splatoon entirely. It looked neat, but I've fallen out of online shooters as I've grown older. I occasionally play Counter-Strike or Team Fortress 2, but I don't frequent them.
Nintendo's approach to an online shooter is pretty novel. It may not be exactly original, but by removing the emphasis on fragging opponents and giving players a concrete goal in each map, Splatoon feels far more engaging than the usual shooter fare.
Color? IN A SHOOTER?!
The demo (which only ran for an hour) included two levels. They were a bit small, possibly to compensate for the 4 on 4 action, but they felt dense. I haven't really taken the time to analyze the details of a game's level design in quite some time, but Splatoon makes it almost essential to success.
With the objective being to cover the whole map in paint, you suddenly become obsessed with figuring out which areas can be covered and how fast you can get to the next point. The best way for success is not only cooperating with your team mates, but in finding areas that are less traveled.
You also can stake out vantage points and camp away. Thankfully spawn camping isn't a possibility, but players are encouraged to discover safe spots and stick to them. With the central mechanic being squid mode and swimming through paint, even a relatively safe area isn't 100% guaranteed.
The short time limit on each match made every second count. It was a chaotic scramble to cover your half of the map before the opposing team could even react. It made for exhilarating openers to each battle, even if I played the same map 4 times in a row.
There is also a mini-game during the load screens. While you're waiting for players to join and the game to cache every file, you get treated to a retro style, Ice Climber-esque game about jumping to the top of a map. It may not be very deep, but it certainly beats staring at a blank screen and wishing for death.
Feels like 1983.
That small little change kept me actively engaged during the downtime between matches. I never had to worry about whether the game would continue or not. I was constantly trying to break a high-score that no one would ever see.
Really, I think Nintendo are on to something with Splatoon. The recent announcement that a lot of the upcoming DLC will be free is just icing on the cake. I may end up picking this game up on day one, a practice I haven't done in some time.
This demo played out well for Nintendo, in my eyes. It's also quite unique in it's execution; a style so decidedly Nintendo that I wouldn't want it any other way. Hopefully others got a chance to play, but know that Splatoon is shaping up to be quite the game changer.

Sabic provides materials for BritePointe's new line of extreme-brightness LED lamps
Date Announced: 27 Jan 2012
Pittsfield, Mass. – SABIC's Innovative Plastics business is helping BritePointe, Inc. – a pioneering LED lamps and fixtures manufacturer – break ground with innovative new LED luminaires molded using high-performance Cycoloy* and Lexan* resins.
The Hayward, Calif., company selected these advanced resin technologies over traditional aluminum for their light weight, outstanding performance and exceptional design freedom – essential capabilities for integrating a patent-pending thermal management system. Thanks to the SABIC materials, BritePointe's HyBeem high-bay LED downlights for commercial and public buildings may cut energy use by up to 65 percent vs. high intensity discharge (HID) fixtures and fluorescents and last up to five times as long, thus potentially reducing maintenance costs.
SABIC's collaboration with BritePointe demonstrates the company's commitment to supporting the lighting market's shift toward sustainable lighting technologies and reinforces the value of its high performance resins, which give LED lighting designers the freedom to take new approaches, unfettered by the limitations of traditional materials such as metal.
"SABIC's advanced thermoplastics are a critical element of our new HyBeem product," said Tom Griffin, CEO, BritePointe, Inc. "You cannot make an LED-based replacement lamp emitting tens of thousands of lumens unless it is small and extremely light weight, so using metal in this case simply wasn't an option. SABIC's strong, lightweight and versatile materials were the ideal solution to design our LED line and we couldn't be more pleased with the results."
Hybeem LED lighting from BritePointe delivers the lighting equivalence of a conventional metal halide HID or high-pressure sodium (HPS) vapor light source in a similar form factor with substantial power savings and a service life of up to 50,000 hours. Other potential benefits over HIDs include improved safety and "instant on" capability that supports the use of timers and sensors for additional energy savings. LEDs also avoid the issue of cycling with HPS lights. HyBeem BP400 series high-bay lamps deliver 15,000 lumens with the lowest mass and smallest size on the market today. They are the first to surpass the theoretical Shuja-Line limit of 2,500 lumens per kilogram by more than 100 percent. Typical environments where these are used include high-ceiling warehouses, gymnasiums, big-box retail stores and manufacturing facilities.
Plastics Help LED Lighting Fulfill its Potential
Manufacturers are moving beyond metal and other traditional materials to take advantage of the benefits of plastics, including part integration and design flexibility, light weight, high strength and durability, elimination of secondary operations and a wide choice of aesthetic effects.
"I am impressed with SABIC's high level of service and broad product portfolio. SABIC's sales and support teams generously offered knowledgeable guidance for optimal use of their materials. This assistance is greatly appreciated as we continue to implement strong, lightweight plastics in our products," Griffin said.
BritePointe selected gray Cycoloy C6600 polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) resin for the two-feet-diameter radiator coil housing that provides cooling for the HyBeem light, and transparent Lexan FXD PC resin for a top cover of the fixture. The design flexibility of Cycoloy resin enabled BritePointe to create a sophisticated solution with patent-pending thermal management technology built into the lighting fixture. Molded-in color allowed the company to avoid the cost and environmental impact of secondary painting. The selection of Lexan FXD resin in this application shows the viability of PC for use in new LED applications such as lenses, covers and reflectors.
"SABIC's high-performance materials are playing a key role in the growth and diversity of the LED lighting sector, as demonstrated by the success of the HyBeem product line," said Heath Schmid, PC market director, Innovative Plastics. "Our resins and composites make tremendous contributions to LED design and performance, including optimized light transmission and thermal management, improved aesthetics that appeal to end users and enhanced sustainability. Our collaboration with BritePointe has resulted in exciting new retrofit choices for users of high-bay lighting."

A 2.5% rate of unemployment is 1 / 2 of one percentage point below what economist call, "The Natural Rate of Unemployment." Therefore, based on the unique connected with BLSdata, employment in the U.S.might remain visible as great news, properly? No, wrong — because information selected include only individuals who were actively seeking a job; contacted potential employers; were job interview; sent out resumes, replied to job advertisements, etc., ahead of four weeks before reporting for social security bonuses. Thus, selecting this particular sounding the unemployed (U1in table below), eliminates millions of unemployed persons; e.g., persons who are discourage and gave up looking for the job and others working part-time, but seeking a full-time job.

UP NEXT, Anthony DeVito. A Look Through The Lens at New York Comedy.
Published by Phil Provencio at May 8, 2016
Anthony DeVito on his front stoop in Astoria.
Never mind his quiet demeanor when you first meet him, Anthony DeVito is a fast rising comedy star. He's already got some impressive credits- he's appeared on Comedy Central's Adam Devine's House Party, was one of the "New Faces" at the 2012 Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, has been on "This American Life," AXS TV's Gotham Comedy Live, TVLand's Jim Gaffigan Show, Seeso's NY's Funniest and was the 2015 winner of Caroline's March Madness, and if you go to his website you can see his long list of festival credits as well. He makes regular appearances on Fox News Channel's Red Eye, and Sirius XM's Bennington, and if you ask around you'll hear all the right people talking about Anthony DeVito.
Comedy photographer Phil Provencio spent some time with Anthony where he lives, in Astoria, Queens, in a neighborhood with a lot of other comics and friends. Greg Stone, James Mattern, Andy Fiori, Jon Fish, Dan Shaki, Anthony's girlfriend Julia Solomon- all live very close, and yes, they have been known to sit on a stoop.
"I've been living in Astoria pretty much the whole time I've been living in New York, about 7 years. My first place was in Sunnyside. I had a Transylvanian landlord, this lady named Ebolia. She was great. One time she came in, and there were scratches in our bathtub and she insisted that I was showering with skis on and I didn't know what that was about. She said that was because I was Italian. I never knew that was one of the stereotypes."

When Anthony isn't working he walks a lot, sometimes in Astoria Park. One of his favorite things to do in the park is to look at the East River, watching big ships go by. "When I was a kid I used to go to the Jersey shore and my grandmother and I would sit by the inlet in Manasquan, NJ and we would just watch the ships and I think it just reminds me of that. It's kind of nice."
If he's not looking at ships, he might be having deep thoughts. "Cause I write jokes, I don't really have much to do with my day. I'll write for a little bit, and then usually- especially in the summertime- I'll walk to Astoria park and kind of walk around and listen to music and I guess look at the trees, and have thoughts I think are probably deeper than they are. I'll think 'that's pretty epic', and then it's like, 'nah that's pretty dumb.'
One of those deep thoughts happened after he and his girlfriend broke up early on in their relationship. "My girlfriend and I have been together maybe a little over 2 years. We went on a break– the first month that we started dating she got scared of commitment so we broke up. But I was so in love with her so I went to Astoria Park– I had the hood up, I was just crying…so melodramatic. I was trying to let go of her. And I saw this tiny bird and I gave her away to this bird, and then it flew away. I told her this story once and I was like 'isn't this a heartfelt thing that I did?' And she started laughing at me. I dunno, it made sense in my head."
"I love Astoria," DeVito said. "It feels like home. I don't know that I ever thought I'd have that feeling in New York because so many people live so many different places throughout the city and they live for a year in this neighborhood and year in that neighborhood. I don't think I'll ever leave Astoria; it feels like my home. Whenever I leave it to go out on the road, I'm always excited to come back because it feels like that's where I live."

Should HR Pros Be Held to a Higher Standard?
As you know, I attended SHRM17 in New Orleans and had a blast. I'm so glad I took the plunge and invested in my professional development. Luckily I was able to take advantage of a discounted rate because I volunteered at SHRM16.
The entertainment for this year's concert was Harry Connick, Jr. I like HCJ as much as the next person but I wanted to get out and explore New Orleans a bit rather than sit in the convention center after being there all day so I didn't attend the concert. However, I did see quite a few comments about it on the conference community site. These comments were less about the concert itself and more about the behavior of the concertgoers. Behavior such as rushing the stage, standing in the aisles, taking photos – you know, typical concert behavior.
You get the gist. So I'm reading these comments thinking "are y'all serious?" Apparently, they were based on the responses to my query. This got me thinking – is there an expectation that people who work in HR should behave differently than others when outside of work? Are we, or should we be, held to a higher standard in our private/social lives because of our chosen profession? To add another layer to this, if this expectation exists, is it widely held or is it only held in some HR circles?
Don't get me wrong, I have a couple of concerts lined up this year that I paid good money for and if folks decide to stand in the way and block my view, I'm gonna be peeved, to say the least. So I get that part. I definitely believe in exercising common courtesy and a basic level of decorum. Not because I work in HR, but because I'm a somewhat decent human being. Do unto others and all that jazz. But this mindset that working in HR should somehow influence your behavior outside of work threw me for a loop. Especially because I saw it from multiple people. That has never occurred to me.
So what say you, readers? HR by day, at night we play? HR always in all ways?
This entry was posted in Human Resources and tagged behavior, Harry Connick Jr, HR, professional, SHRM16, SHRM17 by tmrasberry. Bookmark the permalink.
My answer is: the standard that HR should have is to treat everyone with respect and in a manner you would want be treated-on and off the clock.
Translation to the concert would be if someone asks you to sit, be polite and sit or move where you can stand and dance and enjoy the music. I didn't see any signs or directives that people couldn't congregate by the stage and along with the absence of security saying same, then no rule was broken.
I absolutely agree with that standard, Jewel. For EVERYONE. I would expect the same from anyone, regardless of profession. Conversely, I would treat people that way even if I was in a different profession. I know that public officials, police officers and even teachers are often held to a higher standard of behavior (though they often don't live up to it) but I can think of few other professions where a person is expected to behave a certain way off the clock. Again, common courtesy goes a long way and should be the standard across the board. Thanks for reading & commenting!
While being an HR Professional is a career choice, and a passionate one at that…it doesn't mean we have to shed or hide other aspects of our personality that make up who we are or what makes us tick. I am of the strong belief that outside of business hours, we have the right to engage in behavior & activities that suit us…within reason of course and legal! Definitley "HR by day, at night we play".
I knew I liked you, Janelle! Thank you for reading and commenting.
My time is my time. As long as people are respectful and not disobeying any laws, be yourself!
Thanks for reading & commenting, Wendy! I agree.
Here's what I think… we should use our knowledge and experience to make good decisions throughout our day (at work, home, grocery store, etc.). HR pros are people too so we should be held to human standards I guess. I read the discussion post about the concert (and talked about it on Snapchat-are you on snapchat btw?), and I thought it was a little much. Concerts are concerts… I'd love for everyone to sit down in front of me when I want to sit down and watch the performance, but that rarely happens no matter who is at the concert so why change your expectations for this one?


I don't know if I'm a distro-hopper. I don't think so. I've been using Debian for 20 years and with sporadic incursions into other operating systems like FreeBSD. For some time now I have noticed Debian becoming more and more unstable and heavy. I'm a teacher and I manage a small classroom of 14 computers. They are modest machines. With Debian some computers didn't go as I wanted. I decided to try Slackware and I liked it very much. I put it in my laptop and I was happy, but every time I updated the 14 computers it took longer than normal. Sometimes I had to compile by hand and I got bored. A few months ago I tried Devuan out of curiosity and found it very fast and really stable, much more than Debian and I don't see big differences with Slackware. As I am familiar with Debian, Devuan is comfortable for me, but with better performance and stability. Therefore, I don't understand how is possible to spoil a good operating system like Debian by putting it systemd. I had some problems in ACPI with systemd. Frankly, now I understand the developers who got out from Debian project. I don't know what system I will install in a few years, but at the moment I'm really happy with Devuan. I have convinced my daughters to migrate from Lubuntu to Debian with MATE. I don't like LXQT, I'm sorry.
Finally thanks to all the hard-working developers working on this project. This teacher and his students are very comfortable in Devuan. Congratulations on the excellent results.
I don't understand how is possible to spoil a good operating system like Debian by putting it systemd.
First of all, welcome to Devuan community and Im also from Spain so feel free to contact with me if you need something by me.
Im a grateful new Devuan user and I feel exactly the same that you describe. Im using Debian from Sarge days and I liked a lot, but last releases are becoming more unstable and bloated. I am using Devuan since a month and for now my experience its like comeback to the great Debian old days:flexibility, easy of use, stability and a helping comunity.
Finally I must say that today its not possible for me but in the future I would like and I expect cooperate with the Devuan project in some way.
Therefore, I don't understand how is possible to spoil a good operating system like Debian by putting it systemd.
Ditto, that is the question we all ask coming to Devuan, many of us former Debian users and developers!
Welcome to the forum, all very pleased to help you along with the Devuan experience!
That is some fantasy you've conjured up!! FYI, Bruce Perens took over leadership of the Debian Project in 1996 and Ian moved on to other things.
That is some fantasy you've conjured up!!
Is it? His death and the circumstances around it are very suspect.
There are some very dark and deep rabbit holes out there. Been down too many to completely disagree with cynicfm.
Be willing to entertain a certain thought and some research in this day and age may surprise you.
This may not be the place for this conversation , but his death was not "normal".
Have to admit his vote on systemd would probably been the main deciding factor.
Seen too much evil in this world to completely dismiss his claim. It has some truth in it.
His last few tweets were very strange. Also have to consider if he made them or who had his phone?
and no way to prove any theory.
Conclusion= I do not know the truth about his death.
I agree with pretty much all of that. Even took a screen shot of his final tweets. I do know that Bruce Perens, the second leader of Debian who knew Ian very well, debunked some of the conspiracy stuff on DNG a while back. I'll try to find some of those posts. In any case, this is probably not the right place to continue this discussion.
Lost the mother of some of my children to a suicide. Hard to understand at times.
Unfortunately, only Ian knows what happened and why. Even Bruce's comment on the dyne thread is speculation based on his relationship/history with Ian, however, only Ian knows.
A sad thing about suicide is how terribly it affects those the person left behind.
Unfortunately, only Ian knows what happened and why.
If you had a chance to peek at the NSA archives, I'm sure you'll find a lot of interesting things.
Ian Murdock had absolutely nothing to do with Debian since the 1990s. So there is no question of his having a "vote" on systemd anyway.
Well . . . a "tyro" might not know much of the backstory. Any objections to splitting off the Murdock stuff to a separate thread? Not sure exactly where to put it though. Suggestions? Or maybe those posts should be nuked? Thoughts?
Maybe put the Murdock sub-thread in Off Topic?
