Spring 2016 Borlaug LEAP Fellow Emmanuel Kyereh is a Ghanaian citizen who is currently pursuing his doctoral degree in Food Science, majoring in Food and Bio-processing Engineering at Louisiana State University (LSU) with help from Borlaug Higher Education Agricultural Research and Development (BHEARD) funding. He is a passionate young scientist who feels a sense of responsibility to ensure food and nutritional security, and to help with hunger eradication in developing countries. His doctoral research is focused on evaluating the effect of cereal-legume weaning food fortified with the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum as a way to improve infant gastrointestinal health in Ghana. Although the cereal-legume blend is not a new concept, fortifying with probiotic bacteria is a novel idea, which may not only help bridge the protein-energy malnutrition and child wasting gaps, but also improve infant gut health. The probiotics, with their health benefits when administered in adequate amounts, can decrease other harmful bacteria that cause diarrhea and gut inflammatory disease. Those issues are currently major causes of infant mortality in developing countries. By helping to prevent these illnesses, Emmanuel will hopefully also help reduce nutritional and food insecurity as well as child mortality as outlined in the Feed the Future Multi-Year Strategies for Ghana.
As a young food and postharvest researcher, Emmanuel has had the opportunity to partner with institutions and governmental organizations such as the National Institute of Agronomic Research of Niger (NIRAN) and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Ghana, both of which have had influence on his current research. With Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Postharvest Technology from the University of Ghana, he has been taking steps towards making a change on the African continent and especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where many are crippled with food and nutritional insecurity. His current research comes as results of his previous work while he was an officer in-charge of women in agriculture development at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. He is currently on study leave from this position as he attends LSU. He also worked with small-scale farmers in Ghana whose children had had multiple incidences of diarrhea and were, as a result, malnourished. Conducting research in this area was a great opportunity for Emmanuel to help those families and others who found themselves in that situation. Since then, Emmanuel has been motivated to help find appropriate scientific solutions to these health issues and to help mentor others to do the same.
Emmanuel will work with US mentor Dr. Sathivel Subramania, a professor in both the Department of Food Science and Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at LSU. Dr. Subramania has done extensive research on probiotics and bio-fortification and will be guiding Emmanuel in bacteria strain selection and the fortification process. His CGIAR mentor Dr. John Manful a Grain Scientist currently at AfricaRice with a wealth of experience in working with legumes and cereal and will be helping Emmanuel with the cereal-legume formulations at the center. Emmanuel is thrilled to have the chance to collaborate with Dr. Manful as a part of his Borlaug LEAP fellowship, a chance that he would not have otherwise had without their funding and research support. He is on course to finish is PhD in 2018.

Cellulaze is a very precise and individualized treatment. Without an in-person consultation and a complete evaluation of the areas to be treated, it is inappropriate to attempt to provide an accurate estimate over the phone. The physician really needs to see the prospective patient first to provide an accurate quote.
Only one Cellulaze treatment is necessary to achieve the desired results. You'll see some immediate results, but final results won't be apparent for three to six months. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but unless there are very large areas that need to be treated, one procedure will provide excellent results.
The Cellulaze treatment is performed by using a very small cannula (or tube about the size of the tip of a pen) inserted under the skin. A unique SideLight™ laser fiber inside the tube delivers energy directly under the skin. The precise SideLight laser energy increases the depth and quality of your skin, while simultaneously releasing the fibrous bands that pull down on your skin, to minimize the orange peel look associated with cellulite. The laser is also used to diminish the lumpy pockets of fat that protrude though the fibrous bands under your skin.
The best candidates for Cellulaze are women who are not significantly overweight but have cellulite on their thighs. A consultation with a Cellulaze physician can provide you with the best information.
There is little discomfort associated with the Cellulaze treatment, since patients are treated with a local anesthetic to numb the areas that will be treated. Patients may feel slight pressure or a warming sensation in and around the areas to be treated, but these are mild sensations. Patients are able to talk with the doctor during the procedure because they are awake and not sedated.
Cellulaze is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, therefore after the treatment there will be some swelling and a little soreness. However since Celluaze is a minimally invasive laser procedure, incision sites are very small and there is little bleeding during the procedure. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities in a day or two. Patients may have some fluid leak out of the incision sites following the procedure.
I have tried everything to get rid of cellulite, how do I know Cellulaze really works?
Cellulaze is backed by two years of clinical research and cleared for use in the United States. Clinical data has proven Cellulaze treatments can increase the thickness of the skin by 25% and increase the skin's elasticity by 29%: significant claims which haven't been made by many other anti-cellulite treatments*. Thicker and more elastic skin can help flatten and smooth the skin's surface therefore improving the appearance of cellulite. In addition, 100% of patients surveyed were satisfied or very satisfied with their results one year after their procedure, and all would recommend the Cellulaze treatment to a friend.
On average, the procedure will take one to two hours, depending on the size of the areas to be treated.
No, Cellulaze is an in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia.
Since new collagen is formed in the areas treated with Cellulaze and the structures under the skin are altered-producing results that last. Clinical studies have shown results can persist for one year or more. However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to continue to enjoy the results.
The incision sites will be very small. With proper care, any scars will be barely noticeable. A Cellulaze physician is best to evaluate your skin type and provide the best information on scar prevention.

Q: Environment variables in deployed Next.js Serverless App So in my project I have one .env file on the root of the project, which has default environment variables for all stages.
Then I have config folder where I keep environment and serverless.yml file for each environment (.env.staging , .env.production etc..):
Like this:
-root:
 -config:
  -staging:
    .env.staging
    serverless.yml

When I run:
env-cmd -f config/staging/.env.staging next build

and then:
next start

It loads all the environment variables .env + .env.staging. Which is good and it works perfectly but only locally.
This is my serverless.yml file :
my-app-staging:
  component: "@sls-next/serverless-component@1.18.0"
  inputs:
    nextConfigDir: ../../
    bucketName: my-app-staging
    cloudfront:
      comment: my-app-staging

So for staging deployment I run this:
env-cmd -f config/staging/.env.staging next build && cd config/staging && sls

On the deployed version, All environment variables from root .env are available but NOT from .env.staging.
What I am doing wrong ?

A: So it happens that when running the sls command to deploy the app, it is a different environment that serverless uses. In order to pass that environment on serverless build you should pass the desired environment.
In this case the deploy script should look like this:
"build:staging": "env-cmd -f environment/staging/.env.staging next build",
"deploy:staging": "npm run build:staging && cd config/staging && env-cmd -f .env.staging sls"

Landfill-Gas-To-Energy Project Study Case: the Gampong Jawa Landfill, Banda Aceh, Indonesia
Open Access Aug 2014
Teuku Faisal, Mirzayanto, Nova Marlina
Banda Aceh, Indonesia, populated with 250.000 inhabitants, produces 180 tons of waste daily. But only 165 tons are delivered to its 21 ha area of municipal landfill facility, the Gampong Jawa Landfill (GJL). Since 2009, GJL stopped the open dumping practice and switched to sanitary landfill system. However, landfill gas (LFG) generated is still naturally venting out into the atmosphere. For leachate treatment, GJL has an anaerobic, an aerobic, and a maturation pool. There is also an advanced biogas reactor, namely the Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF), which has 40 kW electricity generating capacity. Two Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) systems also available, functioned to process human excrements with total capacity of 130 cubic meter. This research is conducted to study the potential electricity generation from all-combined available resources in GJL. It includes potentials from landfills, ITF, and WWTPs. Literature review, in-depth interviews, field survey, and spread-sheet simulation are methods that have been conducted to achieve the objectives. The result shows that GJL could benefit more than sufficient electricity for its own operations, and transmit the rest to the National Power Grid. Furthermore, all potential is then monetized by utilizing the new Indonesian Feed-in Tarif (FiT) regulations. And the Certified Emision Reductions (CERs) is also expected to be traded through Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCC) was utilized to examine future projections through a comprehensive financial analysis.
Gampong Jawa Landfill of Banda Aceh: a Case Study of Dumpsite Rehabilitation to a Sustainable Landfill
Mirzayanto, Yulian Gressando
Gampong Jawa dumpsite was established in 1994 as part of Banda Aceh Municipality (BAM) efforts to participate in Adipura Award for the category of clean and green city. The 12 ha area was a dumpsite for most of wastes from BAM and Aceh Besar District. When earthquake/tsunami hit Banda Aceh in December 2004, it was completely destroyed and all the wastes were swept away. This paper is aimed to present the lessons of how a dumpsite is rehabilitated to a landfill. Some issues and challenges are discussed, i.e. the development process; land acquisition; technical consideration i.e. DED, leachate and LFG management, geotechnical aspects; social aspects contributes to minimise waste production; and other supporting facilities. After the tsunami, the dumpsite was used as a final disposal area for tsunami wastes collected from BAM and Aceh Besar. In 2006, BAM expanded the area by purchasing the surrounding 9 ha nonproductive fish ponds. In 2008, the Agency for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (Badan Rehabilitasi dan Rekonstruksi / BRR) initiated the rehabilitation by constructing a new sanitary landfill which was initially operated in January 2009. The landfill operation is currently supported with necessary equipments and sufficient budget. BAM allocates IDR 1.3 billion annually for O&M. A number of new facilities are recently being provided, e.g. weighing bridge and MRF facilities. Moreover, it is being upgraded to a transfer station while Blang Bintang Regional Landfill is under construction during 2012. Currently the total of waste disposal is 155 tons/day, 15% of the waste is sorted for any recyclable and compost materials. It is expected that Gampong Jawa Landfill will contribute useful information for local governments, either in Aceh or other districts in Indonesia, mainly for the policy makers involved in urban planning, specifically solid waste management sector, to include a sustainable urban solid waste management, especially landfill development as integrated part of it

The service is set to launch in 2019.
It looks like Disney's upcoming streaming service has a name.
Per Variety, Disney CEO Bob Iger has referred to the service as Disney Play. However, it's currently unclear if this will indeed be the final name for the video platform, which is launching sometime in 2019.
Disney will reportedly be losing an estimated $300 million in annual revenue when Disney Play launches next year, as the company will no longer be gaining revenue from Netflix for pay-TV rights.
Starting with 2019's Captain Marvel, every Disney film released in theaters will only come to Disney Play instead of Netflix. Ant-Man and the Wasp will also now be the last Marvel movie to come to Netflix.
For more on what you can expect from Disney Play, whose subscription price has yet to be revealed, check out everything coming to the service. Also find out out why Disney Play won't include pre-2019 Star Wars movies.

Over the bank holiday we took the opportunity to include Mr H in some messy play. A while ago I bought some rubber dinosaurs and have been meaning to give some small world play a try. So I brought in the Tuff Spot and set it all up.
Firs too all I coloured some spaghetti for the grass and mud. Then I added the mountains and trees from the dinosaur set and brought in some stones and leaves from the garden to make it a bit more authentic. I set it all up and added the dinosaurs and Dino Land was complete!
In the other side of the table I put some blue waters and set up the water creatures - the children both love water play so this always go down well.
Daddy and the children jumped in. I think H was quite awestruck by it all and held back a little bit.
As always Baby J dived right in and started throwing the spaghetti around. Soon there was more spaghetti in the water than with the dinosaurs.
Then play turned to the water.
As I expected the children ended up spending most of their play in the water. So much so that Baby J decided to climb right in and have a paddle!
H thought this was a great idea and quickly joined him!
It was a bit of a squish for both though, so H ended up in the sink having a paddle whilst doing some cleaning.
I loved the Dino Land and was quite proud of my set up. I think Mr H concluded I was a bit mad, and the children enjoyed splashing more than playing in the world, but I am happy whichever way they choose to play. As long as they are having fun!

MBRP 2021-2022 End-of-Year Update
(Photo Credit: Mauricio Gonzalez)
Greetings MBRP PAC, colleagues, family, and friends,
Happy start of the summer! What a year! In my 20+ years of teaching I have not felt as much joy and satisfaction teaching as I did this year. Sure, the year had its challenges but on the whole it was a good year with many successes and a wonderful group of scholars! This year they were my heroines and heroes!
General: This last school year was a transition year back to in-person learning and adjusting to the fall-out of COVID. Our scholars needed a little extra support dealing with academics and adjusting to a new social/global context. (So did we, the adults, if I'm being honest.) The latter had on the balance a positive outcome, whereas the former was more of a challenge. Although students were eager to return and learn, I noticed that some of our seniors struggled with the more intense parts of the research process. Extra time was needed for most assignments that involved producing reports and analyzing data. Despite these obstacles, most of our scholars were able to complete their final projects and the ones who didn't still put up a good fight to get to the finish line!
Engaging Students in Learning: We were able to accomplish this by scaffolding the research process carefully. This involved breaking up the research process into various stages that students would perform. The initial phases of research included: learning sampling techniques and writing down procedures before doing field work; compiling field data and digitizing them; looking at the data and beginning to ask questions about patterns they observed; performing a literature review and reading background information; starting to put together a presentation of their literature review; and then processing the data to graph. The next phase involved assessing the scholars' work thus far: students were evaluated using assessment in instruction from three research rubrics borrowed from SUNY Albany's UHS Research Program and the New York Science and Engineering Fair; they also peer reviewed numerous times in order to assess themselves and improve their performance; they could then refine their presentations and add new elements to their research based on the feedback from these numerous, varied and rigorous assessments. The final stage involved project results: after another peer reviewed session, students proceeded to add analyses and conclusions to their work, and then defend their projects before their peers and the instructor. This scaffolding process allowed for them to take intellectual risks as evidenced by the numerous and unique questions that were asked based off of our data set. In spite of using the same data set, working interdependently, and investigating a single research topic, no two students had the same project! Never in my entire teaching career have I seen students better prepared or more confident to present as they were this year. The high level of respect and rapport we had with each other, and the degree of accountability we held each other to, created the atmosphere needed to stand in front of an audience and speak impactfully for 5 -15 minutes. The peer review process also helped generate trust for each other (i.e. we always started our feedback celebrating a positive quality and then moved on to constructive criticism). Lastly, my questioning and discussion techniques help students dig deeper into their research while also creating an environment of exploration and excellence. My best classes are those in which students are challenging each other based on the same questioning and discussion techniques which they learned during class. I would have to say that despite the challenges of returning to in-person learning after a year and a half, and continued COVID disruptions, this was one of my most highly effective years as a teacher!
Senior accomplishments: 100% of our seniors passed the written final exam; over 1000 hours of internship hours were worked for the Hudson River Foundation – a school CTE high for the year; 14 of our 20 seniors received the CTE endorsement on their diploma; and many of our seniors received college credit in natural resources management, oceanography, and research. This year's valedictorian and salutatorian were from our program as has mostly been the case for the last several years. Below I share their presentations and publicly available data on plankton, microplastics, oyster restoration, and Randall's Island fish monitoring:

Senior Plankton vs. Micro-plastics Data
Junior accomplishments: Our juniors had a really busy year. From managing two major plankton-microplastics excursions aboard the Indy 7 to maintaining 6 major recirculating aquaculture systems, to managing and digitizing data, getting certified in lab and chemical safety, interning for the Hudson River Foundation, and perfecting their job seeking skills with a mock interview and resume building sessions offered by our wonderful parents Koko and Nan Richardson, they didn't skip a beat. Below I share their culminating projects:
Junior Presentations
Sophomore accomplishments: Our sophomores were able to complete much-needed Social Emotional Learning modules on EverFi, an online education company that we've partnered with for several years now. Next, they were able to sample plankton and microplastics using the Beta-bottle and Sedgewick-Rafter Cell technique. After that, they learned data management and processing techniques while beginning to formulate an interdependent project. In between this step and presenting their projects using the MBRP's proven Project Management process, they were able to begin training and sampling for physical-chemical properties of the NY Harbor.
Sophomore Presentations
SEALs after school program: Our SEALs scholars were very high-achieving this year. They successfully completed their project to recover marine debris from the rip rap surrounding Governors Island. They also updated project stakeholders using social media; submitted project updates to our sponsor, ConEdison; uploaded their data to this website to make it publicly available; completed a final report of their findings; and submitted a new grant proposal for next year. Lastly, we created an exhibit with some of the debris we recovered which you can find outside of the school building by the lab. We'll be working with NYU to further build out the exhibit in September. In case you've gotten this far in this blog post, you'd also be interested to know that the SEALs were almost 100% student led this year! I'm so proud of these scholar interns, I wish you could've been there to see their work. But happily they were showcased in a documentary and a newspaper article which you can view below.

Changes: As you may have noticed, we didn't run a large marine science symposium this year. Instead, we had a smaller in class symposium where students presented their projects to each other and practiced those critical public speaking skills. The reasons for the change were 01) our students struggled with their academic and social emotional needs so taking off a layer of stress was crucial, and 02) we don't have the necessary school supports in place to run it effectively without burnout on my part. We're in the process of trying to get support from other science teachers or propose running a CTE-wide exposition to replace the symposium. Secondly, we didn't offer college credit in science research this year. With too many students on the roster and a wide array of abilities & needs, something had to give. Unfortunately it was the independent research I so dearly love to do. However, as you may have gathered from the above descriptions, we've transitioned to interdependent projects. We're now focusing on 3 topics by grade: physical-chemical analysis of the Harbor for 10th graders, plankton/microplastics monitoring for 11th graders; and biodiversity on settlement plates, traps, and benthic grab studies for our 12th graders. Once we collect our data, students in groups can ask questions about them and build out a project interdependently. This model has proven very successful this year!
Next steps: We'll be applying for State re-certification in June 2023. We'll be calling together a PAC meeting in January 2023 to discuss curriculum and internships. We'll also be reaching out to some of you to renew articulation agreements. Please stay tuned for that important ask!
Growing and Developing Professionally: I have obtained an administrator's license and plan in the future to move into a leadership role. Although exciting, I'm taking baby steps in order to balance out my health needs and this potential opportunity. The lead-up to this was a two-year post master's degree in school and district leadership. My final project on workplace bullying was published in a peer-reviewed education journal and can be found below. It was only one of four papers published from the whole graduating class. Next, I was able to partner up with Rob Markuske to pull together a work group composed of students and staff to begin creating a vision for a future partnership between NYHS and the game-changing Center for Climate Solutions scheduled to open on Governors Island in the near future.

Rip Rap Marine Debris Recovery Project

The Harbor SEALs have been hard at work this season recovering marine debris from the rip rap surrounding Governor's Island, NYC for the Hudson River Foundation. Student interns and volunteers from the New York Harbor School have been managing this project since September of 2021. The team is broken up into four work groups 01) Data Analysis, 02) Resource Recovery, 03) Communications, and 04) Water Quality. The team submitted a proposal to ConEdison and were awarded a grant to purchase the equipment necessary to safely scale the rip rap and recover NYC's pervasive debris. Large garbage bags full of plastic bottles, boat line, dock Styrofoam, sports balls of all types, and mini alcohol bottles dot and span the rip rap. But by far the most interesting of findings have been a message in a bottle and a glamping tent.
After spending much of the Fall planning and writing the proposal, ordering materials, testing the safety equipment, and undergoing practicing trials, the SEALs began recovering debris in January. The Data Analysis group began defining categories of debris, creating data tables, and online forms. They then proceeded to classify the debris collected each sample day and weigh them by category. The Recovery team worked to perfect the methods for safely removing debris from underneath the rip rap and collected three geographically located quadrants to be able to determine the rate of debris replacement. Our communications team designed social media interfaces to disseminate our work products and reached out to our various stakeholders to coordinate field days. They also were in charge of writing the summary grant reports to ConEdison. Our Water Quality team began training in the measurement of Dissolved Oxygen in the sample site using the Modified Winkler Method. They also measured nutrients and other physical-chemical parameters. Finally, they began testing a drone with 3D deigned sampling devices to collect water samples from the Estuary.

Selections from an opera in one act, "Until the War Is Over," will be presented by the University of Maine School of Performing Arts June 23.
The free public event will feature a pre-performance lecture by poet Jennifer Moxley at 7 p.m., followed at 7:30 by performance of selections from the opera, which is based on "Bid Me to Live" by H.D. (Hilda Doolittle). It will be held in the Black Box Theatre in the Class of 1944 Hall on campus.
The opera workshop is part of an ongoing collaboration between Moxley of the UMaine Department of English and composer Beth Wiemann, chair of the Music Division in the School of Performing Arts. The two professors wrote the chamber opera.
"Until the War Is Over" will feature Moxley, Wiemann and other UMaine artists performing with Boston-based vocalists Lindsay Conrad as H.D. and Stefan Barner as D.H. Lawrence.
The performance is directed by UMaine theatre professor Tom Mikotowicz and conducted by Patrick Valentino, based in Boston. Funding was provided by the Maine Arts Commission, UMaine's Humanities Center and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
In 2014, selections from the opera were performed by UMaine students. In addition, "Until the War Is Over" was selected for performance in Hartford Opera Theater's New in November festival in 2015.
For more information about the June 23 performance or to request a disability accommodation, call 207.581.4703.

New Cleveland Fund Will Acquire Businesses and Sell Them Back to Workers
Zoe Sullivan
Next City
The Fund for Employee Ownership, funded by the Democracy Collaborative, is jumpstarting employee ownership for employees of the Evergreen Cooperative.
Typically it can take many months, even a year or more, to train employees before they're prepared to purchase a business from its existing owner. The Fund offers to buy-out owners when they're ready to sell or retire, and then get to the hard work of converting to employee ownership.
"We're excited about the opportunity to accelerate that process of developing more employee-owners," Rose says.

Why We Have To Break Up Amazon
Isaiah Poole
Isaiah Pool, of the Democracy Collaborative, writes for Common Dream on "Why We Have To Break Up Amazon."
It is the kind of inquiry that people like Stacy Mitchell, the director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, has been pushing for. In an interview this week for The Next System Podcast, a project of the Democracy Collaborative, Mitchell explained that Amazon is to the 21st century what railroads were to the late 19th century. Amazon's third-party reseller program underscores the parallel.

'Amazon Doesn't Need The Money': In The D.C. Region, Resistance Is Growing To Tax Breaks For HQ2
Ally Swartz
WAMU
Ally Swartz writes for WAMU, "'Amazon Doesn't Need The Money': In The D.C. Region, Resistance Is Growing To Tax Breaks For HQ2." In this article, she highlights alternative models of community development to Amazon's proposed HQ2:
The office's director, Reginald Gordon, says his agency has helped connect Richmond residents to jobs at new enterprises like Stone Brewing, which the city and state attracted to Richmond with a $6 million incentives package. Gordon's office is also taking steps toward what it calls a "social enterprise strategy" to help locals start their own businesses, some of which could be worker-owned. In Cleveland, Ohio, residents have taken community wealth building to the next step, starting a network of cooperatives that serve the city's universities and hospitals.
At the Our Revolution Arlington meeting at Summers Restaurant, a research director from the Democracy Collaborative extolled the benefits of community wealth building while Arlington County Board member Christian Dorsey sat at a table, listening.

Anchoring Hospitals In The Community
Laurie Larson
Trustee Magazine
Laurie Larson writes the article Trusteee Magazine "Anchoring hospitals in the community." In this article, Larson covers the Healthcare Anchor Network, a project of the Democracy Collaborative:
Theirs is just one example of the work emerging from the Healthcare Anchor Network, a blooming consortium of nearly three dozen health systems launched in May 2017. The network's overarching goal is to "reach a critical mass of U.S. health systems [that are] strategically improving community health and well-being by leveraging all of their institutional assets, including intentionally integrating local economic inclusion strategies in hiring, purchasing and investing."
HAN is the brainchild of the Democracy Collaborative, an economic development agency in Cleveland, which was launched as a "democratic renewal" research center at the University of Maryland in 2000. The collaborative has since moved well beyond its research roots, offering field activities to expand community wealth-building, hosting nationwide roundtables to discuss transformative economic development solutions, and advising local governments, foundations and anchor institutions such as health systems on new strategies for addressing the root causes of socio-economic inequity in their communities.

The 'Preston Model' And The Modern Politics of Municipal Socialism
Thomas M. Hanna, Joe Guinan and Joe Bilsborough
Thomas M. Hanna, Joe Guinana, and Joe Bilsborough write in Open Democracy "The 'Preston Model' and the modern politics of municipal socialism."In this piece, the writers highlight the flagship community wealth building project in Cleveland, Ohio, and Preston, England and what it means for municipal socialism:
There are now two flagship models of community wealth building—and a growing number of additional efforts in cities across the United States and United Kingdom. The first model is the Evergreen Cooperatives in Cleveland, Ohio—created, in part, by our own organisation, The Democracy Collaborative. Cleveland had lost almost half of its population and most of its large publicly-traded companies due to deindustrialisation, disinvestment, and capital flight. But it still had very large non-profit and quasi-public institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, Case Western Reserve University, and University Hospitals—known as anchor institutions because they are rooted in place and aren't likely to up and leave. Together, Cleveland's anchors were spending around $3 billion per year, very little of which was previously staying in the local community. The Democracy Collaborative worked with them to localise a portion of their procurement in support of a network of purposely-created green worker co-ops, the Evergreen Co-operatives, tied together in a community corporation so that they too are rooted in place. Today these companies are profitable and are beginning to eat the lunch of the multinational corporations that had previously provided contract services to the big anchors. Last month came the announcement of an expansion of the Evergreen Cooperative Laundry to a new site serving the needs of the Cleveland Clinic, with a hundred new employees on fast track to worker ownership.

A Second City
Nissa Rhee
Chicago Magazine
Writing in Chicago Magazine, Nissa Rhee writes a long-form article on the effects of poverty in Chicago; "A second city." Rhee quotes David Zuckerman about the anchor strategy in Chicago's West Side Total Health Collaborative:
"Our job as doctors is to heal and prevent suffering," says Ansell. "In this situation, the healing needs to be aimed at neighborhoods."
While most anchor institution strategies around the country have focused on one issue, employment or housing for example, the West Side Total Health Collaborative has a wide scope and an impressive goal: To improve life expectancy across region and halve the 16-year life expectancy gap between West Garfield Park and the Loop by 2030.
According to David Zuckerman, a manager for health care engagement at the Democracy Collaborative and organizer of the Healthcare Anchor Network, it is "the most ambitious collective strategy around anchor work" he's seen to redirect money into a particular region.

In Next City, Sarah Trent writes "Turning Health Care into Community Wealth in Cleveland." Trent highlights community wealth building work by Democracy Collaboratives in Cleveland, Ohio:
"[The expansion] proves that local businesses can deliver at the quality and cost that institutions require," says David Zuckerman, director of health care engagement at the Democracy Collaborative, a nonprofit research, advisory and advocacy organization with offices in Cleveland and Washington, D.C.
Ten years ago, the Cleveland Clinic joined the Cleveland Foundation, University Hospitals, Case Western Reserve University, the Democracy Collaborative and the city government to launch the Evergreen Cooperatives, a network of three worker-owned and worker-managed companies, starting with the laundry cooperative, later adding a construction cooperative specializing in renewable energy installation, and an urban agri-business cooperative. According to Evergreen Cooperatives, the median income in the six neighborhoods they target is $18,500.

Corbynomics would change Britain—but not in the way most people think
Duncan Robinson
"Preston, in north-west England, is a laboratory for other aspects of Corbynomics. Under an agreement with the local council, large public institutions such as the university bias their procurement towards providers in the local area. For Matthew Brown, the councillor who started the scheme, it is about taking back control of public resources. "It democratises the capital," he says. If elected to Downing Street, Labour would get the government to use its colossal procurement budget for policy goals, demanding that suppliers pay the living wage (a voluntary amount slightly higher than the statutory minimum wage) or cap bosses' pay at 20 times that of the median worker, for instance..."

Adam Petrilli Leads NetReputation.com to the Inc 5000 List for the Second Consecutive Year

Rory the Dragon and Princess Daisy
Rory's not a typical dragon. He's gentle and doesn't like the idea of capturing princesses and locking them up. The problem is that his gentleness has been noticed and the older dragons don't like it. Daisy isn't a typical princess either. She quite likes the excitement of being captured but isn't keen on marrying the various princes who come to call. Then, when the two of them meet, they realise it's quite fun being different.
This book is very different from all my others, and not just because it's for children. I wrote it years before my great-niece, Daisy Elizabeth Warn, was born on 7 July 2009. When Daisy was just 5 weeks old she was diagnosed with (Type 1) Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a rare and very severe neuromuscular condition. Sadly, it's incurable and Daisy lived for just 16 weeks. I live at the other end of the UK from Daisy's home and so I never met her but the photos and videos show a beautiful, smiling baby and it must have been heart-breaking for those around her to know that she'd never survive.
Throughout her short but happy life, she and her family received amazing medical and emotional care, support and love from the Children's Hospice South West (CHSW). It's the only charity in the whole of the South West of England which offers help and support to children and their families who are living with life–limiting conditions.
To show their gratitude for the work and love of the CHSW's staff, Daisy's two grandmothers and two great aunts formed the Friends of Daisy Chain, a family group which, since its creation has helped to raise thousands of pounds for the charity. And it occurred to me that this book, with its Princess Daisy, might help to add to the total. My nephew, Joe, did the illustrations and my brothers and sisters have worked hard to publicise and market it. It really has been a family affair dedicated to the memory of our own Daisy and the love she inspired.
All proceeds from sales will go to the CHSW and if you'd like to know more about any of this, contact:

The Loch Ewe Mystery
Kidnapped, tied up, locked in a room in a remote cottage, with a guard downstairs, and no idea of how to get free, Ben and Charlie are scared and have no idea why their sailing holiday on Loch Ewe on Scotland's west coast has become such a nightmare.
Ben is a dreamer, Charlie prefers facts, but they make a good team. The holiday starts well as Ben's dad teaches them to sail and they get to know the changing moods of the loch and the magic and power of the Scottish Highlands.
But the loch's mood changes and a squall forces them to seek shelter on Ewe Island, where Ben's father has an accident and Ben has to sail back through the squall alone for help. It's the start of an adventure which involves three ruthless drug smugglers, led by the particularly vicious Lomax.
Escape is impossible and yet they must break out. If they don't, they know that, when Lomax returns, they'll be in very real danger.
And then there's Stanley…
Stanley's a fairy and so far, he's the subject of eight stories which have appeared on a couple of websites. Those appearances have earned him a few fans, mainly among the ladies, and the plan is for my nephew to provide illustrations when we publish the stories in three books.
Not all fairies live in flowery glades or dingly dells. Nor do they all have gossamer wings or leave sparkling trails in the air as they fly. Stanley wears dirty shorts, a T-shirt with a tear in the back for his wings, a scarf, thick woollen socks and football boots. He lives in a washbasin with a dripping tap in a bedroom in Scotland, which suits him perfectly. He's everything fairies aren't – miserable, grumpy, male, with an unfairy name, a predisposition towards melancholy and a pathological dislike of every normal fairy association. Being such an outsider, he's also pretty aggressive in defending his chosen status, and, as a result, the person in whose bedroom he lives (a man called Jack), has to be extra-tolerant and all the things Stanley isn't.

The patient, a 30 year-old female in good general systemic health, had experienced unsuccessful endodontic treatment and a failed restoration of tooth 22 (Figs. 1, 2). The remaining root was insufficient for retention of a crown and showed periapical complications. The patient had a high lip line when smiling, showing both the papillae and the gingival soft tissue. There was loss of height of the mesial papilla of tooth 22 when compared to the contralateral site. The patient wished for replacement of this tooth 22 with an implant, in order to have an esthetically pleasing restoration. A decision was made in favor of a Straumann® Bone Level Tapered (BLT) Implant (14 mm, ∅ 4.1 mm).
Graduate of the University of Münster/Germany. Post-graduate program in Oral Surgery as a resident at Prof. Khoury`s Dental Clinic, Germany . Private practice in Münster, since 2000. Degrees in Implantology and Periodontology from the corresponding German Associations. Assistant Professor at the University of Cologne (Prof. J.E. Zöller) since 2013.
Implant placement was done with a transmucosal approach by preparation of the bony cavity without raising a flap (Fig. 3). The buccal plate was intact, which was a prerequisite for immediate implant placement. The implant was placed towards the palatal side of the socket, leaving a gap of 2 mm to the buccal plate. The gap was filled with a xenograft of bovine bone particles. The implant showed very high primary stability, which allowed for immediate provisional restoration. The lab-fabricated drilling template also served as the suprastructure for constructing the provisional crown which was adjusted to be out of the patient's occlusion (Fig. 4). The buccal mucosa was augmented with a CTG (connective tissue graft) harvested from the palatal mucosa, which was inserted in a pouch (Figs. 5, 6) to bulk out the buccal soft tissue contour.
After three months of soft and hard tissue healing (Figs. 7, 8), a retrievable screw-retained crown consisting of veneered monocrystalline zirconia on the Straumann Variobase® abutment was used. The crown was constructed without applying pressure to the soft tissue, thus creating a favorable emergence profile. Four months after immediate implant placement and final restoration (Figs. 9, 10), the final periapical radiographic appearance shows healthy tissue integration (Fig 11). The patient was satisfied with both her extra-oral and intra-oral appearance after treatment (Fig. 12).
The BLT implant with its macro- and micro-rough surface and optimal biocompatibility satisfies not only immediate treatment requirements, but also meets the patient's esthetic expectations.
The new Straumann® Bone Level Tapered Implant shows great primary stability and smooth drilling with the BLT instruments. The insertion is fast, easy and precise due to the design of the implant transfer piece, which allows for good control of vertical positioning. The ideal macro design of the implant combined with its biological and mechanical concept of platform switching and conical connection makes it a great choice of an implant to use in such cases.

WWGP (1050 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Sanford, North Carolina, United States, its primary market covers Lee County, Chatham County, Moore County, and Harnett County.  The station is currently owned by Sandhills Broadcasting Group and is the AM sister station of WFJA.

History
The station is named for founding partners, Walter W. Gregory of Rocky Mount, NC, and Waldo W. Primm, also of Rocky Mount prior to moving back to Sanford, NC, to launch Sanford's first radio station, over strong opposition of the local newspaper, which failed to stop the addition of a new media outlet in Sanford. The call letters, WWGP, stand for: Winford W.(Williams) Gregory and Waldo W. Primm, the founders. W.W. Gregory died not long after WWGP began broadcasting, a serious personal loss to the Gregory and Primm families. WWGP was thought by some to represent Primm family names, Gerald Primm and Winford Primm, sons of W. W. Primm and Treva C. Primm.

WWGP signed on the air in 1946.  It was co-owned by close friends Waldo W. Primm, manager/engineer, and Walter W. Gregory, Rocky Mount, NC, financier, for whom the call letters stand.  W. W. Gregory died within the first year or two of WWGP's broadcasting launch. Mr. Primm continued to work to put the station on sound footing, selling it after nearly a decade. WWGP-AM was sold to Frank James Abbott, who eventually sold the station to its current owner Richard K. Feindel.  The sale occurred on January 13, 1994 and today WWGP is owned by WWGP Broadcasting, Inc.  In its early years, WWGP had some local icons as announcers: Bill Buchanan, who for many years did mornings.  Bill Cameron did the afternoon shift.  WWGP concentrated heavily on local news.

Mr. Primm often offered free advertising for local merchants not accustomed to using radio marketing. He was ahead of his time, although some merchants did come to see the benefits of continuing as paying advertisers.

For many years Frank James "Bud" Abbott did local news.  He passed the reigns to Joan Merritts, who was a graduate of CCTI, now CCCC's Radio TV Broadcasting curriculum  and she, upon retirement, Margaret Murchison became news director in 1979.  She recently celebrated 30 years in the news broadcasting industry. Also after the noon newscast, Abbott had syndicated columnist "Drew Pearson" air his five-minute editorial and when Pearson died in 1969, his partner in political crime, "Jack Anderson" aired his political commentary until his death in 2005.  WWGP carried "Paul Harvey News and Comment" at 8:30AM,"Paul Harvey: The Midday Report" at 12:30PM and "Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story in the late afternoon. Harvey died in early 2009. WWGP also airs ABC Sports.

The station broadcasts a mix of local and satellite fed broadcasts. The satellite feeds originate from ABC Radio studios in Dallas, Texas and the station carries the "Today's Best Country" format from ABC. On the local end of things, the morning show "The Swap Shop" is live. Callers list items to buy, sell, or trade from 8:00am – 12:00pm Monday through Saturday. The Swap Shop was originally hosted by Blair Cameron, a 1977 graduate of the Radio TV Broadcasting program at CCTI, under Jerry Farmer's instruction. Dr. Anthony Harrington was one of his classmates, and a graduate of the CCTI Radio/TV broadcasting curriculum as well. Cameron had hosted the swap shop at WWGP's cross-town rival station WEYE, starting in 1978, years before taking on morning show duties at WWGP in 1986. The "Swap Shop" started as a 30-minute program, which only lasted one day, before growing into a multi-hour show.  He was the morning show and swap shop host for ten years, before leaving in 1996.  Brian Lee (aka Brian Ek) took the show to a total of 4 hours each day during the week and was the show host for 9 years and wrote a book entitled "My Days on the Swap Shop" published in 2019 on Amazon.com. Steve Gordon performed the show on Saturdays and took over when Brian Lee left in 2011. Gordon left on August 3, 2012. Since Gordon's departure, the show is being temporarily hosted by a guest host until a permanent replacement is named. During "The Swap Shop" Margaret Murchison airs local news updates each hour. WWGP carries news from the "American Information Radio Network" of ABC at the top of each hour. Richard K. Feindel, owner of WWGP died on November 24, 2015, at the age of 70, one day after undergoing heart surgery in Durham, NC. According to the Sanford Herald Newspaper of February 6, 2019 WWGP and WFJA have been sold by Susan Feindel to Sandhills Broadcasting Group with principal owner Jon Hockaday as the buyer.

Hobart Welding school also known as HIWT (Hobart Institute of Welding Technology), is a quality welding school. Why? Because Vice President-Ron Scott is all about Quality, that's why! Mr. Scott is not only a previous instructor at HIWT, but he is also a graduate. Being left-handed and realizing the world is not very accommodating to left-handers, Mr. Scott wasn't satisfied upon certifying in all the processes left handed. So he then started over and went thru the training again right handed. That's right; I said he went thru the complete program again!
Ron Scott is at the top of his game and that kind of focused dedication is what keeps HIWT at the top of the heap also. Graduates of HIWT typically have employers waiting in line to hire them, and that is a very good thing.
HIWT has a great reputation. But not only do they have a great reputation, they have a great facility and great instructors as well. One of the instructors-Elmer Swank, contributes articles to Practical Welding Today and other online publications that offer practical as well as in depth answers to welding questions submitted by real welders.
HIWT offers all kinds of services related to welding training. One of the services Hobart School offers is weld testing services. They employ certified level 3 NDT technicians as well as AWS Certified Welding Inspectors to perform both destructive and non destructive tests on certification test welds for both performance qualification and procedure qualification. Companies can send welds to Hobart school to be tested to qualify procedures and/or welders. The pricing is very competitive (lower than most weld test labs) and results are communicated to the company that submitted the tests as well as being archived in the Hobart welding database. They have the capability to perform bend tests, x-ray testing, charpy v notch, metallographic testing, and more. HIWT is top notch but I really have to say what makes it top notch is the people.
