Insignia Sports Tourer estate
Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer estate (2017-2019) - Interior & comfort
The latest Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer has an interior that draws close to the class best
Interior & comfort - currently reading
Interior & comfort Rating
The Vauxhall Insignia has always provided a comfortable environment for those who cover high mileage and the Sports Tourer does nothing to sully the name's reputation. On the contrary, it takes all the virtues that made the previous model so popular and builds on them with enhanced quality, style and feel.
The Insignia Sports Tourer is also extremely spacious, but all that room to lounge in would be wasted if the ride let the side down. Fortunately, the only sensation likely to tarnish passenger comfort is a slight fidget over motorway bumps and expansion joints, present on all models irrespective of the size of wheels fitted. Even the 20-inch wheels that distinguish the GSi models are tolerable when the suspension is in 'Sport' mode and barely noticeable in 'Tour' mode.
The ride is particularly worthy of praise around town and at lower speeds, where potholes and drain covers are shrugged off with grace. Quietness is impressive, too, with little noise kicked up by the tyres on the road or the wind as it rushes past the windscreen top and door mirrors.
Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer dashboard
The dashboard in the previous Vauxhall Insignia was visually impressive, but was rapidly overtaken by rivals in terms of material finish. Its maker has made some effort to amend that issue for the latest model, though, and the Sports Tourer is a big step forward.

Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer (2013-2015)
Vauxhall Insignia VXR hatchback (2009-2017)
The majority of materials within arms reach from the driver's seat are of a standard that either equals or approaches that of rivals – although the Vauxhall still falls a little way short of the class-leading Volkswagen Passat. It's pleasingly styled, too, albeit not with such flair that it makes other cars seem old-fashioned.
What does impress is that thought has been put into practical daily use. You can see this in small details like the ledge under the infotainment touchscreen that allows you to rest your hand while making gestures on the screen. The climate-control switchgear is uncomplicated and easy to use, and the instrument dials are clear and legible at a glance.
If anything, the Sports Tourer's standard equipment list impresses more than any other of its attributes, especially when its low starting price is taken into account.
Trim levels are shared with the Grand Sport hatchback, and even the entry-level Design model – which handsomely undercuts the Skoda Superb Estate – features autonomous emergency braking, a touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless entry and cruise control. It wears distinctive LED running lights and 'structure' wheel covers that successfully mimic the look of alloy wheels. It also benefits from access to Vauxhall's OnStar service – an online support system with concierge, recovery and safety applications.
Design Nav adds sat nav to an upgraded infotainment system, the touchscreen of which grows from seven to eight inches. Next up is SRi, which adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, front foglights and automatic wipers, and is further distinguished by a darker tint to the rear windows. The upgrade from SRi to SRi Nav represents better value than that from Design to Design Nav – the incremental cost is identical, but you get sports seats, dual-zone air-conditioning, rear USB sockets and additional interior lighting in addition to sat nav.
Those in search of sporty looks will like the SRi VX-Line with its bodykit and dark interior headlining. It also boasts a heated, flat-bottomed steering wheel and a 4.2-inch colour display in the instrument cluster. Stepping up to Tech Line Nav adds all-round parking sensors, additional front seat adjustment and chrome interior highlights.
Top of the range is the Elite Nav, with leather upholstery, heated seats front and rear, an eight-inch digital dashboard display and LED headlamps, as well as a BOSE stereo system. This trim level also offers the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with mandatory four-wheel drive. By the time you get to this end of the line-up, the Insignia Sports Tourer starts to be a less attractive proposition in terms of value for money, so we'd recommend sticking with the Design Nav model.
The GSi is effectively a sporty equivalent to the Elite Nav, and can be spotted by its 20-inch wheels and 10mm lower ride, different bumpers and side sills, as well as a gleaming set of chrome exhaust pipes. A set of figure-hugging leather sports seats and a flat-bottomed steering wheel give the driving position a sporty feel, and there's a head-up display as standard. It's a good looking package, but doesn't really offer much more driving excitement than other – and far cheaper – models in the line-up.
Even though every model is generously equipped, buyers still have scope to further personalise the Insignia Sports Tourer. Metallic paint is an optional extra, as is a glass sunroof. All-year comfort can be improved with the Winter Pack One – this adds heating to the steering wheel, front seats and front windscreen.
We recommend a proper spare wheel, too – you can choose one as an optional extra in lieu of the standard tyre-inflation kit. Entry-level Insignias will benefit from the optional parking sensors, too – on a car this lengthy, they really ought to be fitted as standard.
The Insignia is also available with Vauxhall's latest range of custom paint finishes, including the option to match its colour to any sample you provide for a cool £5,300. This is as well as Vauxhall Exclusive metallic, pearl effect, solid or tinted clear-varnish paintwork, giving a wide range of potential finishes.
Choose the Exclusive Black Pack for the Insignia GSi and chrome trim is swapped for black on the grille, foglamp surrounds and window frames for £500.

Q: Trying to get dropdown menu positioned to the left This is the problem

I'm trying to get it lined up as follows:

}

I tried putting display block but that is resulting in the drop down menu permanently showing instead of when the button is clicked.
Tried this:
.editdeletetoogle .dropdown-menu
{
    margin-top: -5px;
    width: 5px;

A: Hard to tell exactly without a codepen or fiddle but try this
.editdeletetoogle .dropdown-menu{
    margin-top: -25px;
    width: 5px;
    position: relative;
    right:30px; /** Edit this **/

17Mar Lá 'le Pádraig – Prayers of the Faithful etc.
As the third week of Lent comes to a close, we pause from our lenten penances to honour Patrick, the apostle of the Irish. In our celebration of this solemn feast, we worship God, creator, redeemer and sanctifier, who brought our ancestors into the Christian fold through the preaching of St Patrick.
What do we actually know about St Patrick? Do we know anything for sure? How can we find out? Behind all the later traditions which grew around him, reflecting his influence on the people of Ireland, we have his own words. There's now a website where you can get back to the real St Patrick. Let your parish know about it. Pádraig McCarthy.


GJM women activist come face to face with security forces at Singmari in Darjeeling on Thursday afternoon.
Siliguri, 06 July: IN a desperate attempt to draw Centre's intervention, political parties in Darjeeling Hills have now decided to take the Gorkhaland agitation to the adjacent Terai and Dooars region.
The move is likely to result in unrest in Terai and Dooars which are house to people from various linguistic communities, with Bengali's in the majority and the number of Nepalis being far less but not negligible.
A conglomeration of 13 political and social outfits of the Hills, which recently floated a common platform named Gorkhaland Movement Coordination Committee, took the decision during a meeting held at Pedong in Kalimpong today.
After the meeting that lasted until late in the afternoon since 12 noon, the leaders announced that the on-going indefinite shutdown in the Hills would continue at least until 18 July.
The shutdown was called by Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) on 15 June after police raided and found sharp arms-weapons and huge stash of money in the house of its president Bimal Gurung at Pateybas in Darjeeling. The party subsequently tagged the shutdown with the emotive demand for separate Gorkhaland state.
But despite the shutdown entering the 22nd day today and with arson on government properties and attack on security personnel in the Hills at regular intervals, the Centre is not yet intervening in the Hills. Despite the violence, the latest being at Kalimpong yesterday, the state government too has adopted a wait-and-watch policy.
Caught in this situation, the parties in the Hills now feel that the agitation must be spread to Terai-Dooars so to compel the Centre intervene.
Although in some parts of the Teria-Dooars, such as Bagdogra, Salbari, Sukna, Milan More on the outskirts of Siliguri, and Gorubathan, Birpara, etc, in the Dooars, Nepali-speaking population have been taking out rallies in support of Gorkhaland, it so far lacked a central command and strategy.
Thus, the meeting today formally adopted a resolution that Gorkhaland state could not happen without the Terai-Dooars and that the agitation needed to be taken down there vigorously.
It also decided to compile evidences of human rights violations in the Hills by the administration and the police while trying to quell the agitation and take legal recourse against the state government in appropriate forums. The coordination committee will meet again on 18 July.

Category: All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
Good Premise, Bad Execution: "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" (2006)
June 25, 2012 June 25, 2012 Slasher Studios*Bad Horror
Let's see…worst horror film…worst horror film…I could just post every horror film that appeared on MST3K (Werewolf being my personal favorite of the bunch), or anything from The Asylum, but that's too easy. There are a lot of bad horror movies out there, but most of them are made by people who shouldn't be behind or in front of the camera in the first place. Therefore, the worst horror films for me are the ones where there's some obvious talent involved, but it's completely wasted. With that in mind, my worst horror movie choice (always subject to change) is All The Boys Love Mandy Lane. My review:
When I finally got to check out the long-delayed (and still not available in the US) film All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, I thought maybe what I would get is a cool little horror film that I could enjoy from time to time. Considering all the hype surrounding it, I knew it wouldn't be this decade's "horror savior", but I thought it could be pretty good.
Simply put, it's not. Coming from someone who has really enjoyed some of the horror films put out since 2000, I thought this one was bad. REALLY bad. Let me break this one down a bit for ya:
The premise is good. No argument there. The idea of getting a bunch of guys together on a ranch with the girl they are ALL after could have made for some seriously good horror cinema. The problem is…nothing is done with it. All the guys trying to get with Mandy Lane are dumb as shit, and aside from talking about how they want to get with her, and occasionally flirting with her, nobody really does anything. The title of the film probably should have been "All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, But It's Not That Big Of A Deal". Maybe that was the point, but I don't think so.
Moving on to the actual characters, they all are pretty bad, even Mandy Lane. I read in a review that the characters are more like real teens than the teens you seen in most horror movies. To this I say: Really? I mean, at this point we are used to the typical teenage characters, but aside from the black guy (who, for once in these movies, doesn't act like a complete stereotype), these guys were as bland as slasher movie characters get, and cliche to boot. There's the virgin (Mandy Lane, if you haven't guessed), the jocks, the stoner guy (who thankfully isn't as over-the-top as most characters of that kind), the bitches, and one guy who is there but really doesn't have anything to do. For a film that's supposed to be above average, it sure sunk to below average in terms of characters.
And was this a slasher film? I really couldn't tell. People get stabbed and cut, sure, but for the most part people just got shot by the killer. I'm sorry, but using a shotgun in a SLASHER film doesn't cut it. The suspense in a slasher film comes from the fact that the killer needs to physically get to you. When the killer can just blast you from a few feet away, suspense is the only thing that really gets killed.
Speaking of kills, there's nothing really spectacular in this film. Spoiler: a girl getting a shotgun shoved through her head was probably the highlight. Sadly, it was also the first kill in the movie. I was thinking as I watched this that, if all else failed, I'd at least have some cool kills that I could talk about, but again, most of the people get shot in this film, so that's already out.
What about the music and the look of the film? Well, if mostly shitty pop/rock songs and a look that's been done better in a lot of other films is your thing, then you'd probably dig them. I didn't, though. There was a bit of score music that I thought was good, but it was so underused that it didn't really matter. They also went for a gritty, desaturated look, which works well in some horror films, but unfortunately in this film it made every shot look like it was from a video for a depressing country song.
So yeah, waste of a good idea, bad characters, no suspense, no good kills. Am I missing anything? Oh yeah, how about the ending? I mean, if the film ends pretty well, at least you've got that, right?
First off, we find out who the killer is about half way through the film. It just so happens to be Mandy Lane's best friend, who she allegedly stopped being friends with after a freak pool accident near the beginning of the film. So yeah, I've already got problems with that. But this film isn't done yet. Oh no. As the film nears the end, we come to find out that Mandy Lane is a psychotic bitch who is in love with the best friend now. So yeah, this film just went Natural Born Killers on us out of nowhere. But wait! There's more! After all the stupid characters are dead, and our crazy-go-nuts lovers are about to off themselves, she turns on the best friend (like I said, she's a psychotic bitch) and won't kill herself. Then, he's about to kill her, when a throwaway character from earlier in the film shoots the best friend (you just have to see it). The best friend isn't dead, though, and goes Voorhees on said throwaway character with a machete (the character doesn't die, though…um, what?). Mandy Lane goes running off, but falls into a pit with cow corpses in it. (There was a story about killing cows earlier in the film. I guess they thought they should throw in what happened to the bodies…whatever..) The best friend finds her, they yell and fight with each other in the corpse pit, then the best friend's machete gets lodged in a piece of wood that she was going to hit him with, so she kills him with that (again, you just have to see it). Then Ms. Mandy Lane walks back to the throwaway character (who is unaware of her involvement in the murders for some reason), puts him into a Jeep, and they drive off. Roll some earlier footage of all the teens being happy, and a shot of innocent Mandy Lane that turns red. Cut to credits.
Excuse me while I borrow your barf bag.
So yeah, the ending was definitely the shit icing on the crap cake that was All The Boys Love Mandy Lane. I'm sure there are other, more incompetent films out there that would make better candidates for "Worst Horror Film", but this one actually had the potential to be good, and that's a lot more aggravating to me.

Le parc de l'Orangerie est un parc public de la ville de Strasbourg. Il est situé en face du Palais de l'Europe et proche des autres institutions européennes dans le quartier dit de l'Orangerie, au sein de la Neustadt. Sa superficie est de 26 hectares.

Il est délimité à l'ouest par l'avenue de l'Europe, au sud par les boulevards du Président-Edwards et de l'Orangerie, à l'est par la rue François-Xavier-Richter et est bordé par le canal de la Marne au Rhin au nord.

Historique
Certaines sources prétendent que le parc de l'Orangerie aurait été planté en 1801 d'après des plans dessinés par André Le Nôtre.

D'autres affirment que ce n'est pas le jardinier Le Nôtre mais le capitaine ingénieur Antoine du Chaffat (huguenot) qui a dessiné, en 1735, le plan intitulé : Plan de Strasbourg, sa Citadelle et le Fort de Kehl avec tous ses Ouvrages qui ont ''este'' construit Pendant la Paix.

Au cours de la Révolution française, la ville de Strasbourg hérite de cent quarante orangers confisqués par les républicains au château de Bouxwiller et fait construire en 1804 l'actuel pavillon Joséphine (du nom de Joséphine de Beauharnais, impératrice des Français, femme de Napoléon Bonaparte de 1796 à 1809) par Pierre-Valentin Boudhors pour les abriter.

Le parc de l'Orangerie est largement agrandi pendant la période allemande, à l'occasion de l'exposition industrielle et artisanale de Strasbourg de 1895. C'est à cette époque que le lac artificiel et sa cascade sont creusés. Le parc est intégré dans la Neustadt.

Le pavillon Joséphine a été inscrit au titre des monuments historiques en 1929 alors que l'ensemble du parc a été classé en 1993.

Détruit par un incendie en 1968, le pavillon Joséphine a été reconstruit à l'identique et réaménagé pour une utilisation culturelle.

Le parc a également obtenu le label « EcoJardin ».

La fontaine de la charmille, endommagée à la suite de la chute d'un arbre, a été restaurée en 2012.

En 2013 la principale allée du parc, l'allée de l'Orangerie Joséphine, a été réaménagée ainsi que l'allée des Platanes. Un nouvel éclairage a également été mis en place.

De nos jours

Aujourd'hui il ne reste que trois orangers, conservés dans les serres du parc qui sont accessibles au public à certaines dates.

L'Orangerie est un lieu de promenade privilégié des Strasbourgeois on y trouve : un zoo, une mini-ferme et un centre de réintroduction de cigognes, un bowling, un circuit de voitures pour enfants appelé « L'École de Conduite », plusieurs aires de jeux, des terrains de sports et de pétanque. Il est aussi possible de louer une barque pour naviguer sur le lac.

De nombreuses fontaines, statues et autres kiosques agrémentent les allées du parc. Plusieurs glaciers y tiennent également un stand.

Le  est une ancienne maison à colombages, construite vers 1600, qui se trouvait à l'origine à Molsheim. Elle a été démontée et transportée pour l'Exposition d'industrie et d'artisanat d'Alsace-Lorraine de 1895 ; c'est aujourd'hui un restaurant étoilé.

Un ancien pavillon d'octroi est situé en bordure du parc, avenue de l'Europe. Il est aujourd'hui occupé par un centre d'information sur le bouddhisme.

Visit to Rome
While our students were busy taking finals last week, Rabbi Matanky slipped away as the co-chair of a JUF Rabbinic Mission to Rome. Upon meeting the Pope (pictured above), Rabbi Matanky presented him with an ICJA kippah, of course, and the book By His Light by Academy Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein shlita.
Besides meeting the Pope, the group also visited important historical sites, like the oldest shul in the western world, Ostia Anitica, which was built before Churban Bayit Sheni. They visited Cardinal Kurt Koch – the man who is charged with Catholic Jewish relations, and also visited the Vatican Library where we saw an illustrated manuscript of the Tur from the 15th century (pictured), a copy of the Chumash from the 12-13th century, along with other priceless Jewish manuscripts that were displayed specifically for our group.
The illustrated manuscript of the Tur.Rabbi Matanky writes:
I want to share with you a very interesting exchange that we had with Cardinal Koch. Recently in a magazine article he was asked about what he thought should be the next steps in the dialogue between the Jewish and Catholic communities, and he said, that the time has come for the Catholics to develop a theology relating to the Jews, and the Jews should create a theology of their relationship to the Catholics. When we asked him about this, he explained, that this was an interview that he gave to the Catholic press, but that he knew that such a thing could not happen. Because 'Catholics are concerned with theology, while Jews are concerned with halacha!' (And yes, he and his secretary, Rev. Norbert Hoffman both used the Hebrew term!) It was an amazing thing to hear – because what it means is that even they understand that a Jews' primary focus is not "thinking about religion," but "doing religion," and that we should be more concerned with mitzvot and maasim tovim than philosophy and theology!
Academy alum Leora Balinsky ('13), who is studying at Migdal Oz, joined the mission for a few days because her father, Rabbi Michael Balinsky also participated. Leora was a student in Rabbi Matanky's honors girls Gemara class last year, the highest level of girls' Talmud in the school.

An ABM of historic British milk consumption
Matthew Gibson | Published Mon Dec 20 16:58:59 2021
Substitution of food products will be key to realising widespread adoption of sustainable diets. We present an agent-based model of decision-making and influences on food choice, and apply it to historically observed trends of British whole and skimmed (including semi) milk consumption from 1974 to 2005. We aim to give a plausible representation of milk choice substitution, and test different mechanisms of choice consideration. Agents are consumers that perceive information regarding the two milk choices, and hold values that inform their position on the health and environmental impact of those choices. Habit, social influence and post-decision evaluation are modelled. Representative survey data on human values and long-running public concerns empirically inform the model. An experiment was run to compare two model variants by how they perform in reproducing these trends. This was measured by recording mean weekly milk consumption per person. The variants differed in how agents became disposed to consider alternative milk choices. One followed a threshold approach, the other was probability based. All other model aspects remained unchanged. An optimisation exercise via an evolutionary algorithm was used to calibrate the model variants independently to observed data. Following calibration, uncertainty and global variance-based temporal sensitivity analysis were conducted. Both model variants were able to reproduce the general pattern of historical milk consumption, however, the probability-based approach gave a closer fit to the observed data, but over a wider range of uncertainty. This responds to, and further highlights, the need for research that looks at, and compares, different models of human decision-making in agent-based and simulation models. This study is the first to present an agent-based modelling of food choice substitution in the context of British milk consumption. It can serve as a valuable pre-curser to the modelling of dietary shift and sustainable product substitution to plant-based alternatives in Britain.

This is a basic Susceptible, Infected, Recovered (SIR) model. This model explores the spread of disease in a space. In particular, it explores how changing assumptions about the number of susceptible people, starting number of infected people, as well as the disease's infection probability, and average duration of infection. The model shows that the interactions of agents can drastically affect the results of the model.

COVID-19 SIR with Public Health Interventions
This is an extension of the basic Suceptible, Infected, Recovered (SIR) model. This model explores the spread of disease in two spaces, one a treatment, and one a control. Through the modeling options, one can explore how changing assumptions about the number of susceptible people, starting number of infected people, the disease's infection probability, and average duration impacts the outcome. In addition, this version allows users to explore how public health interventions like social distancing, masking, and isolation can affect the number of people infected. The model shows that the interactions of agents, and the interventions can drastically affect the results of the model.

Open Peer Review Model
Federico Bianchi | Published Mon May 24 16:54:39 2021
This is an agent-based model of a population of scientists alternatively authoring or reviewing manuscripts submitted to a scholarly journal for peer review. Peer-review evaluation can be either 'confidential', i.e. the identity of authors and reviewers is not disclosed, or 'open', i.e. authors' identity is disclosed to reviewers. The quality of the submitted manuscripts vary according to their authors' resources, which vary according to the number of publications. Reviewers can assess the assigned manuscript's quality either reliably of unreliably according to varying behavioural assumptions, i.e. direct/indirect reciprocation of past outcome as authors, or deference towards higher-status authors.

The model is an agent-based artificial stock market where investors connect in a dynamic network. The network is dynamic in the sense that the investors, at specified intervals, decide whether to keep their current adviser (those investors they receive trading advise from). The investors also gain information from a private source and share public information about the risky asset. Investors have different tendencies to follow the different information sources, consider differing amounts of history, and have different thresholds for investing.

Kabul (BNA) Sussex have re-signed Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan for the first half of the 2019 Twenty20 Blast group stage.
After initially signing a deal for the first half of this year's group stage, Rashid extended his stay after pulling out of the Caribbean Premier League.
The 19-year-old took 17 wickets at an average of 14.35 to help Sussex to a first quarter-final since 2015. "I'm jumping for joy at the prospect of having Rashid back for us next year," said Sussex head coach Jason Gillespie. "I can't speak highly enough of the young man, his performances and how he fitted into our dressing room. He was brilliant for Sussex." Subject to international clearance, Rashid will play for the Sharks until the start of next year's Caribbean Premier League.

Q: Is process-pinning like with Intel-MPI possible in OpenMPI? With Intel-MPI I can pin the MPI processes started by mpirun to a certain cores on a node.
For example with 24 cores and Intel-MPI:
mpirun -np 12 -genv I_MPI_PIN_PROCESSOR_LIST=0-11 ./some.exe &
mpirun -np 12 -genv I_MPI_PIN_PROCESSOR_LIST=12-23 ./other.exe &

With OpenMPI there is the option --bind-to with one these arguments: none, hwthread, core, l1cache, l2cache, l3cache, socket, numa, board.
I noticed that --bind-to socket binds process 0 to socket 0 and process 1 to socket 1, and so on. This is bad, since for best communication between some.exe processes, all of them should be on one socket and other.exe processes should be on the other socket.
Is there no equivalent pin option in OpenMPI?

Q: Exercise 4, Section 6.3 of Hoffman's Linear Algebra
Is the matrix $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1&1&0&0\\ -1&-1&0&0\\ -2&-2&2&1\\ 1&1&-1&0\\ \end{bmatrix}$ similar over the field of complex numbers to a diagonal matrix?

My attempt: By exercise 10, section 6.2, $A\in M_4(\Bbb{C})$ is diagonalizable$\iff$$A$ is similar over $\Bbb{C}$ to a diagonal matrix. $A\in M_4(\Bbb{C})$ is diagonalizable if $T_A:\Bbb{C}^4\to \Bbb{C}^4$ defined by $T_A(x)=A\cdot x$, $\forall x\in \Bbb{C}^4$ is diagonalizable. Let $B=\{e_1,…,e_4\}$ be canonical basis of $\Bbb{C}^4$. Characteristic polynomial function of $T_A$ is $f:\Bbb{C}\to \Bbb{C}$ such that $f(x)=\det (xI_4-[T_A]_B)=\det (xI_4-A)$, $\forall x\in \Bbb{C}$. It's easy to check, $\det (xI_4-A)=x^2(x-1)^2$. So $0$, $1$ are only eigenvalue of $T_A$. Let $W_0$ and $W_1$ be null space of $T_A-0\cdot I_4$ and $T_A-1\cdot I_4$, respectively. By equivalent definition, $T_A$ is diagonalizable$\iff$$f=x^2(x-1)^2$ and $\dim (W_0)=2$, $\dim(W_1)=2$. But $\dim (W_0)=\dim (N_{T_A})=1\neq 2$. So $T_A$ is not diagonalizable. Thus $A$ is not diagonalizable. Hence $A$ is not similar over $\Bbb{C}$ to a diagonal matrix. Is my proof correct?

A: The proof in OP is correct. The matrix has a block form
$$A=\begin{pmatrix} A_1 & 0\\
B & A_2
\end{pmatrix},\quad A_1=\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1\\
-1 & -1\end{pmatrix},\quad A_2=\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1\\
-1 & 0\end{pmatrix}$$
The characteristic polynomial of $A$ is equal to the characteristic polynomial of
$$\tilde{A}=\begin{pmatrix} A_1 & 0\\
0 & A_2
\end{pmatrix}$$
Diagonalizability of $A$ would imply that property for $A_1$ and $A_2.$ However none of the matrices $A_1$ and $A_2$ is diagonalizable. The characteristic polynomial of $A_1$ is equal $x^2$ and $A_1\neq 0.$ Similarly the characteristic polynomial of $A_2$ is equal $(x-1)^2$ and $A_2\neq I.$

Are New England's in-house counsel free to join competitors?
You've been at your current in-house position for some time. When you took the job, or perhaps sometime during your employment, you were required to sign a variety of restrictive covenants that included at least one of the following: a non-competition agreement, a nondisclosure agreement, a forfeiture agreement, a no-raid agreement and an assignment of inventions agreement.
You've just been offered a great position at a direct competitor and would like to bring your paralegal. But that would violate your non-compete, could result in disclosure of confidential information in violation of your nondisclosure agreement, and would trigger your forfeiture agreement and violate your no-raid agreement.
Can you do it anyway? Maybe.
All New England states (indeed, all but three states nationally) will enforce reasonable restrictive covenants arising from an employment relationship. Exceptions exist. In particular, in virtually all states, lawyers at law firms are exempt from non-compete agreements.
Although lawyer autonomy is sometimes given short shrift, the protection of client choice is accorded extreme significance.
Given the language of the comment — speaking to the rights of "partners and associates" — some have questioned whether the prohibitions of Rule 5.6 apply to in-house counsel, who are neither partners nor associates (in the usual sense, at least).
Other reasons to question application of Rule 5.6 to in-house counsel include, for example, the fact that the principal effect of Rule 5.6 on in-house lawyers is more about where they can work than which clients they serve (although, plainly, at least the one client, i.e., the employer, could be adversely affected if the exception did not apply).
Or, that in-house counsel wear two different hats (the legal hat and the business hat) and, therefore, should not the business aspects of in-house counsel's job be subject to the restrictions just as they would if performed by a non-lawyer?
Despite those questions, the American Bar Association has determined that Rule 5.6 applies not just to outside lawyers, but to in-house counsel as well.
Nevertheless, while application of Rule 5.6 to in-house counsel can be reasonably presumed, the full extent of the prohibitions on restrictive covenants for in-house counsel is far from settled.
So, what restrictive covenants can in-house counsel be bound to and what restrictive covenants are likely verboten?
There is little doubt that, in New England at least, in-house counsel are free from non-competition agreements that would, in any respect, restrict their functioning in their legal capacity.
Accordingly, a non-compete that prevents in-house counsel from moving to a different in-house position at a competitor can likely be assumed void under Rule 5.6.
In contrast, it is only when the non-compete prohibits in-house counsel from taking a purely business role that the agreement would likely be enforceable.
Thus, for example, a non-compete that prevents in-house counsel from going to a competitor as a COO would likely be enforceable.
The rationale for that exception to the exception is that the individual's status as a lawyer is irrelevant to the role and, therefore, client choice for legal services is not at issue.
Although there is no direct authority for such an approach, the Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics to the New Jersey Supreme Court expressly left the issue open.
Perhaps not surprisingly, because of the focus on client choice, most states have interpreted Rule 5.6 broadly. As a result, it is generally accepted that Rule 5.6 prohibits not only garden-variety non-compete agreements, but any agreements that impinge on a lawyer's ability or willingness to serve a client.
Thus, agreements that impose financial disincentives on lawyers for competing with their prior law firm are generally considered impermissible restrictions on client choice and, therefore, violative of Rule 5.6.
Examples of such agreements are forfeiture-for-competition agreements (i.e., agreements that require a lawyer to forfeit uncollected fees, capital contributions, unvested options, or other benefits if he competes with his prior firm) and compensation-for-competition agreements (agreements that require a lawyer to pay over to his old firm a portion of the fees he receives for competitive legal services).
Given the general view that Rule 5.6 applies to in-house counsel, and that Rule 5.6 has been used to reject these agreements, there is no reason to believe that it would be applied any differently to such agreements concerning in-house counsel.
In contrast, some states (Massachusetts included, see Pierce v. Morrison Mahoney LLP, 452 Mass. 718 (2008)) permit law firm attorneys to be bound by "straight" forfeiture agreements (i.e., the trigger for the forfeiture is the departure from the firm, rather than whether the lawyer thereafter competes with his former firm). The rationale is that such agreements affect only lawyer mobility, not client choice, and because Rule 5.6 is designed to protect client choice, it does not apply.
Of course, such an approach effectively ignores both that forfeiture agreements can be used as de facto non-competes (i.e., the forfeiture is enforced when a lawyer competes and waived when a lawyer does not compete) and that the other purpose of Rule 5.6 is lawyer autonomy (which, presumably, would include the lawyer deciding where to practice).
Such issues aside, there are additional reasons that a court might not take the same permissive approach when it comes to in-house counsel. As noted above, the primary impact of a forfeiture agreement is to discourage a lawyer from leaving his then-current job.
For outside counsel, it does not prevent them from representing their clients, given that the services can be provided through the old firm or the new one. The adverse financial impact is unrelated to what client is represented.
But for in-house counsel, there is a direct impact on client choice. Specifically, the only way for in-house counsel to represent the new client (i.e., his new employer) would be for him to leave his old job and take the new job, which would trigger the forfeiture.
As a consequence, there is a strong argument that forfeiture agreements disincentivize in-house counsel from representing clients of their choosing, and, as such, they are unenforceable.
When other, less restrictive restrictive covenants are considered, the question becomes a bit more complicated, and it's no longer as simple as merely looking at Rule 5.6. Rather, two additional rules apply: 1.6 (confidential information) and 1.9 (conflicts of interest).
For example, last year, the New York State Bar Association considered whether in-house counsel could be bound by nondisclosure agreements.
Instructively, the few existing authorities appear to agree that nondisclosure agreements (and presumably other restrictive covenants) with "savings clauses" that limit the scope of the restrictions to coincide with the applicable rules of conduct, will not be deemed to violate applicable ethical rules.
One must then wonder, of course, why there would even be a need to have the restrictive covenant if the rules of professional conduct imposed the very same restrictions. Thus, it is perhaps not surprising that some jurisdictions have found such agreements to be superfluous.
The same rules apply to other restrictive covenants. And, while there is a dearth of commentary on the enforceability of no-raid agreements (agreements by which someone agrees not to attempt to hire former colleagues) and assignments of inventions, the former are likely unenforceable, while the latter likely are enforceable. The rationale is that no-raid agreements impact a lawyer's ability to best serve his client, while the assignment of inventions has nothing to do with the provision of legal services.
So, while you are almost certainly free to move from in-house job to in-house job, and to bring legal support staff of your choosing, you are not free from all restrictions. Confidentiality and conflicts rules and certain restrictive covenants will govern your transition.

I was quoted in this article which appeared in both the Toronto Star and The Waterloo Record.
Whether you retire early or late, you will make some big financial decisions. So, plan ahead and think things through.
Whether you retire early or late, you will make some big financial decisions. Your goal is to turn your government benefits, pensions and savings into a lifetime income.
Let's go through the decisions one by one.
When will you apply for Canada Pension Plan?
You can take CPP retirement benefits starting at age 60 and get a reduced amount. You can take benefits at 65 and get a full amount. Or you can defer benefits after 65 (until 70) and get an enhanced amount.
Service Canada has helpful questions to ask in deciding when to take your CPP retirement benefits.
How will your age affect your monthly payment?
Do you plan on working while receiving your pension?
How long did you make CPP contributions? How much did you put in?
What kind of lifestyle do you want when you retire?
How much do you get? You can find the amounts paid at age 65 at Service Canada's website: The average payment is $633 a month, while the maximum payment is $1,038.
When will you apply for Old Age Security?
You must be 65 to qualify for an OAS pension. Starting in April 2023, the age of eligibility will increase gradually to age 67. This change will affect people born in 1958 or later.
You have the option of deferring your OAS pension for up to 60 months after the date you become eligible in order to get a higher amount.
You may want to defer OAS if your income is high enough to put you into clawback territory. The government calls it pension recovery tax.
How much do you get? The maximum monthly amount for OAS recipients is $551.54 in the current quarter.
You can also get a guaranteed income supplement if your income is low. The threshold is $16,728 including full OAS pension for individuals and $22,080 for couples who are both receiving full OAS pension.
When will you convert your RRSPs into income?
Everything you hold in registered retirement savings plans must be cashed in or converted to income by Dec. 31 of the year you turn 71.
You can convert RRSPs to a registered retirement income fund (RRIF) or a life annuity any time. You don't have to wait until 71.
Once you open your RRIF, you will have to make a minimum withdrawal that grows each year and pay full tax on the withdrawal.
You may want to convert your RRSPs earlier than the deadline and transfer any money not required for daily spending into a tax-free savings account or non-registered investment account.
This strategy can help you get more control of your taxes and avoid being pushed into a higher tax bracket. For retirees, it's the after-tax income you have to consider, not the pre-tax income.
Will you replace your employee benefits?
You may have benefits that are paid for or subsidized by your employer. These include dental, optical, pharmaceutical and chiropractic benefits.
These benefits may be cut back when you retire – or when you turn 65, even if you are still working. Should you get coverage on your own? How much would you pay?
Heather Freed, a certified financial planner, helps guide people through the transition from group benefits to individual insurance.
The cost to replace health and dental benefits for a family is $250 to $350 a month, she says. The cost for a single person is $125 to $175 a month. These are average costs and exclude life insurance and disability benefits.
Before making a decision, there are two important things to know, says Freed. What is the value of your employee benefits? What coverage do you have and how many claims do you make?
If you're a frequent user of employee benefits, find out if you can convert them to individual policies. The conversion deadline may be tight. So, pay attention and don't delay.
These decisions can be challenging. Consider their implications carefully and find competent advisers to help you on your journey.

Reza Abdoh: Theatre Visionary. 2015. USA. Directed by Adam Soch. 99 min.
Created by his longtime video collaborator and archivist Adam Soch, this documentary builds a vivid portrait of Reza Abdoh through archival footage and recent interviews. Members of the Dar a Luz theater company chronicle the making of successive productions in Los Angeles, New York, and abroad, detailing Abdoh's method of drawing on actors as much as his own experiences to develop the visceral characters and physicality of his productions, to simultaneously exacting and empowering results. The film also features the artist's family, evoking a childhood deeply altered by the history of Abdoh's native Iran and an adult creative life bearing the scars of the tumultuous 1980s, the decade of Reaganism, the end of the Cold War, and the AIDS epidemic that would eventually take his life. Queer, foreign-born, and non-white—the ultimate outsider—Abdoh propelled himself into an essential prophet and poet for contemporary America in all its complexity. As he reflected in a 1994 interview, "I'm just an addict for American culture, and I'm obsessive about it, and it makes me angry. There is so much food for thought and observation in American culture…. I find it very powerful culture, and I like to critique it, and, in a sense, see where it's heading and where it can go."
This film accompanies Reza Abdoh: Radical Visions.

Vicinity Centres adds net zero target to its sustainability program
Poppy Johnston | 9 July 2019
Shopping centres have been under The Fifth Estate's spotlight lately for their reluctance to be part of the mandatory energy performance disclosure program that is being expanded to most other property sectors. Vicinity Centres, Australia's second largest retail property company, is different.
Vicinity Centres first announced millions of dollars in rooftop solar investment. Now it's aiming for net zero carbon by 2030 across its 34 wholly-owned shopping centres.
The company plans to reach this target through its solar program – a $73 million program in total – along with a raft of energy efficiency measures.
See our story Vicinity's Melissa Schulz on a shopping centre path to a more sustainable future
The net zero target will be the centrepiece of the company's broader sustainability commitments, a plan that also involves shaping better communities, creating sustainable destinations of the future, and building climate resilience across the portfolio
The group is also implementing a Sustainable Procurement Program throughout the business and responding to the new Modern Slavery legislation.
Its energy efficiency program started in 2016 and has so far helped cut its carbon emissions by 14 per cent.
It's set annual targets, tracked energy performance and developed site-specific energy action plans.
It also conducted a portfolio-wide energy review in 2018 to identify energy efficiency opportunities, including major capital upgrades and retrofits. The review also helped spot opportunities for behavioural change and education on efficiency.
Capital investment include $3.5 million worth of LED upgrades, replacements and upgrades to airconditioning technology and systems (including retrofitting systems to implement new control strategies, where possible) and trials of new technologies to see how they can deliver greater efficiency.
The company also has an appetite for experimentation in the renewables space, such as the trial of ClearVue PV solar power-generating clear glass at the Warwick Grove shopping centre in Western Australia.
Retailers – which typically miss out on benefits of energy efficiency – are also part of the company's energy efficiency ambitions. This includes working with some key retailers to provide information about base buildings to help them achieve their own Green Star Interiors ratings for fit-outs.
See New app to help retail tenants with predictive energy data
Vicinity chief strategy officer Justin Mills said that although the net zero carbon target focuses on our wholly-owned centres the company is "working closely with our co-owners and retailers to drive efficiencies and deliver shared value for our communities and the environment."
The group has a direct portfolio with interests in 62 shopping centres and manages 33 assets on behalf of strategic partners, 29 of which are co-owned by the group.

ICO's verdict on the COVID-19 Contact Tracking Technology
Categories Data Privacy
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), has given a green signal to the new contact tracing app ready to beat the spread of the virus. Will the public interest be upheld? The public data and sensitive information such as contacts and location data might be at stake. Is the greater good a justifiable purpose for this vulnerability? Let's find out.
According to the ICO, this app meets the requirements of data privacy. Had there been any issues with the privacy protection through this app the ICO would not have allowed the technology to go further.
However, may people and data protection contenders are baffled at how can this be? The contact tracking app works by identifying infected individuals using their phones, the place they have been and the contacts they have. The app then allows the users to revisit the chances of the virus being transmitted to them, by tracking the possibilities of contact with a carrier.
A layperson would be confused if this can be done without infringing upon the privacy of those carrying the virus and those coming in contact with the virus. Especially because phone contacts and location is involved. And the layperson will not be wrong to wonder this.
Another criticism that the app has been facing throughout its research period is whether the government will use this extreme form of surveillance to monitor the personal lives of individuals. Furthermore, whether this app will be able to keep data flow protected? Can this be sold to other companies who may want to make billions of pounds over the transfer and exchange of big data?
Lastly, a major concern surrounding the hot discussion on this has remained whether the idea will be carried out with similar care in other countries or not? The UK, by doing so, will be setting a major precedent for many countries to follow. While in a democracy such as the UK, serious efforts can be carried out to ensure that the rights and the freedoms of people are not undermined, in other, weaker democracies this may become problematic.
The app under research in the UK is designed to be mindful of the GDPR and the Data Protection Act. Yet, the use of contact tracking in the UK, which is not bound to remain a secret can cause a stir in the world. The government's in other countries may use this data as a part of their law enforcement programs, other causes, political gains. The transparency and the use of the data lawfully can not be guaranteed in many countries, with weaker legal systems and poor checks and balances.
The ICO said that this contact tracking technology is able to 'fulfils standards of transparency and governance.' The ICO went over every single stage of the tracking technology, it has attempted to break down each procedure to look out for potential issues. After this audit, it is ready and willing to offer support to NHSX during the development and implementation of the app's entire lifecycle.
The app was launched earlier this week. The new contact tracing app works by automating the process of contact tracing. It works by reducing contact with the contagion by alerting people. People who may have been already exposed to the deadly virus may also be warned. This level of security and prevention is essential to combat such a poignant virus.
Now, it will be up to the people to take action to protect themselves. Whether the government may intervene after the person has come into contact or serious exposure, is still unclear.
According to the NHS, "The app will be part of a wider approach that will involve contact tracing and testing. We are working hard to make sure that all these elements are properly lined up, to make it as seamless as possible and to ensure the app complements more traditional measures that, working together, can protect vulnerable groups and those who cannot or do not want to access digital tools."
Although this sounds like a rosy science-fiction solution for such a grave issue, if allowed to run freely, the app can show magnificent results. It is essential, however, for all stages of the app and the technology to go through the legal requirements.
"Once the app is installed it will start logging the distance between phones nearby that also have the app installed using Bluetooth Low Energy. If anyone gets symptoms of COVID-19, this app will help individuals to notify NHS and trigger an anonymous alert to those other app users with whom the affected individual came in contact over the previous few days."
Whether the use of this app among people will be made necessary by the law or will it remain up to the public is also unclear as of now. Another question that arises from this development is whether the people without a smartphone will be able to participate in this technology and how so?
The NHS further clarified, "In future releases of the app, people will be able to choose to provide the NHS with extra information about themselves to help us identify hotspots and trends."
Now, this can prove to be the essential means of communication in this unprecedented time. The communication or feedback channel between the healthcare professionals, the government and the public can help in improving many conditions. There are hotlines in places, but this could help in the creation of favourable quick intel-generation to help the officials move forward.
Another great possibility is that "Those of us who agree to provide extra information will be playing a key role in providing additional information about the spread of COVID-19 that will contribute towards protecting the health of others and getting the country back to normal in a controlled way, as restrictions ease," said Matthew Gould, chief executive of NHSX.
The 'NHSX' contact tracing app respects data privacy principles', says ICO.
According to the ICO's official statement, "People must have trust and confidence in the way personal data is used to respond to the COVID-19 crisis. The ICO also recognises the vital role that data can play in tracking the pandemic and the need to act urgently. We have been working with NHSX to help them ensure a high level of transparency and governance. We will continue to offer that support during the life of the app as it is developed, rolled out and when it is no longer needed."
In the past, Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham mentioned in her blog post that the data protection laws should not stop the development of innovative technologies that may be able to fight the spread and limit the virus.
She further mentioned that the fact that the world is going through a collective health emergency calls for unique but fair methods to combat the crisis. She further clarified that if the technology is able to satisfy principles such as transparency, fairness, and proportionality, the ICO may go forward waiving a green signal.
Quoting her blog post, "My office will continue to reflect these exceptional times, and will offer our help and guidance to projects looking to find innovative ways to help society. Put simply, we will want to see evidence that COVID-19 initiatives do what they intend to do – that they work in practice, that they are proportionate, that people can access their rights in law, and that there is a plan in place to stand down measures when no longer needed."
With a clear reference to the contact tracing app which was ready to be launched by the NHSX then, Denham said that the ICO has been able to "offer our advice and support to NHSX." This indicates the development had been approved by the ICO throughout the research phase.
Lastly, she added "In particular, we have spoken about the high level of transparency and governance this app would need, and a focus on a continued review that the data being collected and used is necessary and proportionate. We are committed to providing oversight during the life of the app."
Apart from the Information Commissioner's Office, the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, and other public offices have also been a major part of the development of the technology.
The privacy is maintained by a simple step and that is that the app would store anonymous proximity information securely on your phone, and will only share that information with the NHS when you allow it to.

How to Become an Athletic Trainer
Posted on January 11, 2021 November 2, 2021 in Athletics, Health Care, Online Resources, Students
Whether on the athletic field, in an industrial work setting or on a performance stage, active people need health care providers who truly understand the demands of physical careers. As a leading health sciences institution, Logan University is thrilled to add a Master's in Athletic Training (MAT) to our lineup of degree programs, beginning summer 2022. Read on to learn how to become an athletic trainer and what an AT career may look like for you.

This means our state-of-the-art science facilities support your pursuit of an evidence-based career as a health care provider for people who need to perform at their personal best, including elite athletes and those working in physically demanding industrial careers.
Plus, Logan offers two start dates each year, meaning less time waiting to begin your education and smaller class sizes for individualized instruction.
What can I expect from my education at Logan University?
Logan's Master's in Athletic Training program includes six trimesters of online and face-to-face instruction. Coursework will cover emergency care, orthopedic assessment, therapeutic interventions, psychology, pharmacology, research, leadership, administration and more. Student coursework will culminate in an evidence-based research project, three practicums under the supervision of an athletic trainer and an immersive clinical experience, which is designed to give students the opportunity to work in an athletic training clinical setting and understand the day-to-day operations of a clinic.
Where will I complete my immersive clinical experiences?
Master's in Athletic Training students at Logan spend 80 to 90 percent of their time working directly with ATs in the field—linking coursework to practical application. We're proud to offer our students hands-on, clinical experiences with multiple partners and teams, including:
University of Missouri | Columbia, Missouri
University of Memphis | Memphis, Tennessee
Maryville University | St. Louis, Missouri
Missouri Baptist University | St. Louis, Missouri
Fontbonne University | St. Louis, Missouri
Harris-Stowe State University | St. Louis, Missouri
What career opportunities are available to me after graduation?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the athletic training field is projected to grow 21 percent between 2014 and 2024—faster than the average of all other occupations. Athletic trainers work in a variety of settings, including:
Professional, collegiate-level sports programs
Hospitals and health care facilities
Occupational and industrial work environments
Sports medicine and physician clinics
What are the board exam and state licensure requirements for athletic trainers?
According to the National Athletic Trainers' Association, a student must graduate with a master's degree from an accredited professional athletic training education program and pass a comprehensive test administered by the Board of Certification (BOC) in order to become a certified athletic trainer. Passage of this exam is required for licensure in most states. In addition, athletic trainers must meet ongoing continuing education requirements in order to remain certified.
Get in touch with our admissions team today and learn more about how to become an athletic trainer!
Logan University is currently seeking accreditation for their new athletic training program and is not accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The institution will be submitting a self-study to begin the accreditation process on July 1, 2022. Submission of the self-study and completion of an onsite review does not guarantee that the program will become accredited. Students who graduate from the program prior to accreditation WILL NOT be eligible to sit for the credentialing examination for athletic trainers and will not be eligible for licensure in most states.

— When walking through the forest, trees seem so slow as if they stand still. But what if trees perceive us as we perceive ants, running quick, almost invisible? Time being nothing more than cycles led by their imaginary duration?


There are four key parts of a tree that are used to produce wood veneers. Firstly, the trunk. This starts just a little higher than the stump and extends upwards towards the crotch (where the branches start). When the trunk is quarter, flat or rotary cut, the resulting veneers are long in style and effectively show off the grain.
The point where the trunk branches off is called the crotch. Veneers cut from this part of the tree display beautiful swirls and flame-effect features.
The stump of the tree cuts to twisting, swirling effects and, where there are knobbly growths protruding known as burls, these can be used to achieve amazing results that resemble eyes. Whilst these burls can be tricky to manipulate, a good veneer woodworking company will be able to attain superb patterns.
Decorative wood veneers are produced from carefully selected logs, chosen for their suitability in size, rate of growth and visual features including burls, knots and colour. The choice of veneer cutting method plays a crucial role in the final product's appeal and usability, as does the way the veneer leaves are matched.
Most real wood veneers are cut from hardwood trees. Softwoods are sometimes used for their more decorative appeal. There is extensive choice when it comes to timbers. Running through the entire shade and colour spectrum, you will find everything from subtle through to highly detailed, eye-catching effects. You can take a look through some of the many hundreds of species here and of course if you would like advice on the best type of timber, cutting and matching method, you can call upon our expertise.
At Read Veneers we personally select and offer an extensive range of the highest quality architectural veneers including exotic and unusual species as well as the more popular varieties. Our long term experience allows us to be at your disposal for helpful advice and recommendations on style and choice of veneer. For assistance, please get in touch.

Seeing Smiling Patients
Samoan-born and raised Patrick Soon, of Chinese and Samoan descent, is a senior dental assistant from the Auckland based innovative health organisation, The Fono. Based at The Fono's Wyndham Street Dental Clinic, Patrick loves seeing patients smile once they've been treated.
Often mistaken for being solely Asian, despite being both Samoan and Chinese, Patrick likes to make conversation with people in his native Samoan tongue as an ice-breaker for nervous Samoan-speaking patients.
The 29-year-old father of three is a trained dentist who graduated from the Fiji School of Medicine and practiced in Moto'otua Hospital Samoa (where he and two other Fono dentists recently undertook some relief work), before immigrating to New Zealand.
Born and raised in the village of Vailoa, Faleata, Patrick and his partner moved to New Zealand for a better life for their children.
"It's good for them health-wise and the general medical care here is good," says Patrick, especially following the birth of their second child, son Liam, who was born with a chromosome abnormality.
"That's the reason why we moved over. Originally, we were supposed to go back, but we had our second baby and that happened so my family stayed here while I went home, sorted out our stuff and came back."
He started as a receptionist/dental assistant at The Fono and was promoted to senior dental assistant in 2016, in which he oversees the work the team does.
"This includes helping set up the surgery, readying it for patients, cleaning and sterilising the instruments, and ensuring that the surgery runs smoothly throughout the day."
Patrick says it's his duty to have everything ready for the dentists, and to make the lives of his colleagues and his patients, especially, easier.
One thing that's remained constant from his career in both countries is his passion for seeing people leave the clinic much happier than when they arrive.
"The appreciation you get from the people you treat is the motivation to keep doing it," he says.
"Being a dental assistant, I can help to provide a great service for our patients by supporting the dentist, making sure the equipment and surgery is maintained to the highest standard, and most importantly, by ensuring our patients are as comfortable and relaxed as possible."
It's important for Patrick to build a rapport with patients, but it's even more special for him when he gets to help Samoan patients who cannot speak much English.
"I always try to engage with people who are coming in. If they look like they are an islander or Samoan, I talk to them in my own language," he says.
"I let them know that if they come to The Fono, and they don't understand English well, they'll still know that there's someone here that they can talk to.
"I get mimika (excited); it's good, I'm proud to be Samoan."
