Forget the Wi-Fi your are connected from your phone's settings. – If this happens, a good idea is to try and remove the Wi-Fi connections. It still works really well and it can offer you a much better way of dealing with the problem in no time. You will notice that it works just because you don't have a connection anymore, and you can initiate a new one a whole lot faster.
Restart Router – restarting your router can be a really good idea. Sometimes the issue comes from a bad router setting rather than your Huawei P20/Pro/Lite Common Problems. So, it's a much better idea to eliminate that on your own in a professional way.
Disable Power Saving Mode – going with this will come in handy. The phone can end up stopping your connection as it tries to save battery life. It's not the ultimate approach, but it does work quite nicely as long as you make the most out of it in a meaningful and unique way.
Restarting the Device is the right way to solve this problem. A lot of people encounter connectivity issues, and one of the best ways to eliminate such a problem is to solve issues at your own pace, with this being a good approach for sure. Try to use it adequately when you encounter problems, as it will come in handy quite a bit.
Delete All Paired Devices as fast as possible. Once you do that, you will be able to pair each device one at a time. That's less pressure on the device itself, and everything will end up working a lot better than ever before. It's definitely going to be a distinct opportunity, you can rest assured of it.
Clear Cache if possible. This will make it easier for you to start with a clean slate and solve any potential problems that have been a part of the cache in the first place!
Clean the phone's screen. – Sometimes this is the thing that will bring in problems. But if you clean the screen you will not have to worry about touchscreen problems any more. Sure, they can still be an issue at times, but tackling them properly can easily help you in the long term.
Remove the case and make sure that you clean everything up. The case can have dirt, lots of fingerprints and it may actually be the reason why your phone is acting up. It's a very good option to focus on and it's certainly the type of thing that will be well worth the effort. You should totally consider giving it a shot if possible.
Perform a force restart and see how it goes for you. Normally a force restart can do wonders, especially if you have touchscreen problems. Just try to see if it works, normally that should b e a really good solution!
Close Background Apps as soon as you see that your device is heated. After all, these apps end up heating your device, and the faster you close them, the more memory will be free and the less heat will be generated. It's a great way to solve the problem and it works quite nicely too, which is always a good idea to have.
Remove the case and let some air in there. Sometimes the lack of cooling can lead to Huawei P20/Pro/Lite Common Problems, and that's how you solve it. Removing the case is simple and it can do wonders too, which is always nice.
Avoid Direct Sunlight at all costs. Sunlight will always cause overcharge and other problems that heat up your unit. Just stay away from it, and the results will be a whole lot better!
Turn Off WiFi or any other connectivity. It's the best way to keep you safe here, not to mention that the device won't be as hot when you use it the right way. So yes, try to use that to your own advantage if possible.
Remove any dirt or oil from the charging port as it will be really handy to do that. It also helps you make sure that you increase your unit's life in the long term, and that's always important to focus on.
Try A Different Charger if this one doesn't work. Sometimes chargers can end up causing problems, so having a replacement does make a lot of sense. Try to take that into consideration if possible, and you will see that the outcome does shine!
Check the USB Cable for any Damage. And when you see damage, you replace the cable immediately. Damaged cables are problematic and they can even overcharge your unit, the last thing you want or need.
Delete all Registered Fingerprints and once you do that, replace them with new ones. Ideally, you want to add a single fingerprint at a time just to be safe. It's really worth it to opt for such a thing, especially if you want to solve the problem fast and meaningfully.
Clean the fingerprint and your fingers as well – yes, it's a good idea and it will help you. Sometimes the fingerprint system doesn't work just because you have dirty fingers.
Turn on and off Airplane Mode as this mode will stop your Sim from functioning. It's simple and easy to get into, and it also works quite nicely. So yes, you definitely want to use it to your own advantage if you can!
Check it for any damage and if there is any SIM card damage, the results can be really impressive. It's the type of thing you will enjoy, so you should check it out!

The "Game of Thrones" season six finale was heavy on blood and horror, but the writers managed to slip an amusing (and meta) reference to some of their least-liked characters in the show.
After Cersei murdered Margaery, Loras, and Mace Tyrell in the Sept of Baelor, Olenna Tyrell traveled to Dorne and met with Ellaria and the Sand Snakes. Olenna lived up to her nickname — Queen of Thornes — as she cut down the Sand Snakes one by one.
When Obara tried to imply that Olenna needed their help, the Queen of Thornes put her in her place.
"What's your name again? Barbaro?" Olenna asked, looking both irritated and apathetic. "You look like an angry little boy. Don't presume to tell me what I need."
"Forgive my sister," Nymeria tried to interject. "What she lacks in diplomacy she makes up —"
"Oh do shut up, dear," Olenna cut in. Then she turned to the last Sand Snake, Tyene, and said "Anything from you? No? Good. Let the grown women speak."
For many fans watching, this felt like a self-deprecating writing choice from showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The plot revolving around Dorne, Ellaria, and the Sand Snakes is widely regarded as one of the show's worst-adapted storylines. Bringing Olenna into Dorne only to have her tell the Sand Snakes to shut the heck up felt like fan service at its best on the show.
As Quartz's Adam Epstein wrote, "In one fell swoop, Olenna [...] told the Sand Snakes everything that fans have wanted to say to them since they were introduced to the show last year. It's hard to imagine this isn't the writers acknowledging the criticism of Dorne and trying to make light of the situation."
Fans online were cheering the exchange. "ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF THORNS," Redditor DealerCamel wrote. "BEAUTIFUL, YOU COULD HEAR THE WRITERS BEING SORRY ABOUT DORNE!" another Redditor replied.
People were having a field day on Twitter, too.
After Olenna shut the Sand Snakes up, Ellaria took charge and offered Olenna her heart's desire: "Vegeance. Justice." Then Varys made a grand entrance and said "Fire and blood."
This was an adapted book scene. In the written series Doran Martell is still alive and delivers this badass line about justice and fire and blood to his daughter Arianne Martell. Doran reveals that he was plotting against the Lannisters all along, with the intention of marrying his children to Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen. A big part of the annoyance fans felt towards Ellaria and the Sand Snakes revolved around the show's elimination of Arianne's character and not giving Doran a revenge plot.
Though it was a bit strange to hear Doran's book lines coming from Ellaria and Varys, the moment was better than previous Dorne scenes. Perhaps the Sand Snakes will continue to be improved by Olenna's presence (and Daenerys' invasion) in the coming season. Either way, fans are tipping their hats to Benioff and Weiss for being self aware enough to write in this great moment.


We've finished our first full week back, the children have worked really well and behaved excellently. Well done to all the Stars of the Week this week! In Y1 Niamh and Caoimhin, in Y2 Cara and Dara, in Y3 Aidan and Siofra, in Y4 Dara and Eimear, in Y5 Shea, in Y6 Emma and in Y7 Erin and Finn. We hope that you all have a wonderful weekend.

Q: calculation of CIC/FIR filter is too slow I'm investigating the propeties of Cascoded Integrator Comb (CIC) filter. (for sigma-delta modulator application). I have 2 quesitons and below is what I have done:
a). Any alternative method to improve my calculation speed? is my method too clumsy?
b). What's the correct method to design a fast settling decimation filter, is the combination of SINC3+SINC1 in the right direciton? or any other topology? (decimation ratio osr=128, settling within one cycle osr/Fs, also with good anti-aliasing? better than SINC1?)
1. SINC1
The simplist one, SINC1's transfer function, it's impulse response length is osr
osr=128
normalSinc1 = (1 - z^(-osr))/ (1 - z^-1);
normalSinc1Freq = (normalSinc1/osr) /. z -> Exp[I*\[Omega]];
normalSinc1FreqPlot =
  Plot[20*Log10[Abs[normalSinc1Freq]], {\[Omega], 0, \[Pi]},
   PlotStyle -> Blue];
normalSinc1Time := If[InverseZTransform[normalSinc1, z, n] > 0, 1, 0]
For[n = 0, normalSinc1Time > 0, n++]
normalSinc1ImpluseLength = n

after decimation by osr, alising effect of power
(*ideal brickwall lowpass filter, bandwith=1/osr *)
idealOSRpower = Integrate[Sqrt[0.5]^2, {f, -1/osr, 1/osr}];
(*Normal SINC1 power after decimation, Ratio=1 *)
normalSinc1FreqPower = Conjugate[normalSinc1Freq]*normalSinc1Freq;
normalSinc1FreqPowerSample =
  Integrate[normalSinc1FreqPower, {\[Omega], -\[Pi], \[Pi]}]/(2*\[Pi]);
normalSinc1Ratio = normalSinc1FreqPowerSample/idealOSRpower

2. SINC3
Then I do same thing for SINC3 filter, I found the caculation efficiency is very low, is my method is too clumsy? Any method to improve the calculation speed? Thank you!
normalSinc3 = (normalSinc1)^3;
normalSinc3Freq = (normalSinc1^3)/osr^3 /. z -> Exp[I*\[Omega]];
normalSinc3FreqPlot =
  Plot[20*Log10[Abs[normalSinc3Freq]], {\[Omega], 0, \[Pi]},
   PlotStyle -> Black];
normalSinc3Time := If[InverseZTransform[normalSinc3, z, n] > 0, 1, 0]
For[n = 0, normalSinc3Time > 0, n++]
normalSinc3ImpluseLength = n

the power after decimation
(*Normal SINC3 power after decimation Ratio=0.55 *)
normalSinc3FreqPower = Conjugate[normalSinc3Freq]*normalSinc3Freq;
normalSinc3FreqPowerSample =
  Integrate[
    normalSinc3FreqPower, {\[Omega], -\[Pi], \[Pi]}]/(2*\[Pi]) ;
normalSinc3NBW = normalSinc3FreqPowerSample/idealOSRpower

2. Fast Settling SINC3+SINC1?
Now I understand, if my Data Ouput Rate is Fs/osr, settling time is: osr/Fs for SINC1; (3*osr-2)/Fs for SINC3;
Is it possible to design a filter (FIR/CIC) to achieve both fast settling (with one cycle osr) and good anti-aliasing? Then I try the combination of SINC3+SINC1. Notice! This calculation is very time-consuming!
(* sinc3(osr=r1) + sinc1(osr1=r2) *)
osr=128;
r1 = 4;
r2 = osr/r1;
fastSincN = ((1 - z^-r1)/ (1 - z^-1))^3;
fastSinc1 = (1 - z^(-r2 *r1))/ (1 - z^(-r1));
fastSinc = fastSincN*fastSinc1;
fastSincFreq = fastSinc/(r1^3)/r2 /. z -> Exp[I*\[Omega]];
fastSincFreqPlot =
  Plot[20*Log10[Abs[fastSincFreq]], {\[Omega], 0, \[Pi]},
   PlotStyle -> Red];
fastSincTime := If[InverseZTransform[fastSinc, z, n] > 0, 1, 0]
For[n = 0, fastSincTime > 0, n++]
fastSincImpluseLength = n
fastSincImpluseLength2 = 3*r1 - (3 - 1) + r1*(2^Log2[r2] - 1)/(2 - 1)

The Impluse Response Length fastSincImpluseLength is 134, which is close to osr.  The fastSincImpluseLength2 is the relationship I summed up. Unfortunately, I found the anti-alasing capacibilty is very very poor, which is close to SINC1.This calculation is very time-consuming!
(*Fast SINC power after decimation,Ratio=0.98 *)
fastSincFreqPower = Conjugate[fastSincFreq]*fastSincFreq;
fastSincFreqPowerSample =
  Integrate[fastSincFreqPower, {\[Omega], -\[Pi], \[Pi]}]/(2*\[Pi]);
fastSincRatio = fastSincFreqPowerSample/idealOSRpower

A: I found a faster method to calculate impulse response length. use Serise rather than InverseZTransform. No clue to improve power integral for decimation yet.
normalSinc3ImpluseLength =
 Length[CoefficientList[Series[normalSinc3, {z, 0, 3*osr}], z^-1]]

CME Bitcoin Futures hit a record in 1-day volume – could this see Bitcoin spiking up to $6,000? Bitcoin has been on a blazing rally since April 1st and is settling around $5,100, around 10% in growth. Could we see another 20% leap in the near future?
Other major cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin and Ethereum posted incredible gains against the USD – they're following their leader, Bitcoin, on this move up. But what will it take for Bitcoin to move out of the $5,000 range to overtake $6,000? All combustion requires fuel – will CME be that for Bitcoin?
Traders are eyeing current Bitcoin levels because in order for Bitcoin to push past this range, it requires a strong impetus. Could we see more shorts in the future?
Currently, we're looking towards the CME Bitcoin futures market and see whether or not it can be sustained – if so, the probability that the futures market serving as a catalyst for the next Bitcoin movement is high. On Tuesday, CME told Bloomberg that 22,542 Bitcoin contracts were traded, worth just over half a billion dollars USD.
Interestingly, most of that volume came during Asian trading hours – more than half of the daily volume. It is important to note that trades processed and executed during Asia hours does not necessarily translate to buyers in Asia, but it does increase the likelihood that the buyers were from important markets such as Japan and South Korea.
In the past, futures market volumes for Bitcoin was disregarded by many because of the inflated volume of the cryptocurrency exchange market. According to Bitwise, more than 95% of the Bitcoin volume is inflated or faked – this leaves the futures market responsible for around 35% of global Bitcoin volume.
What's certain is this: there is a strong rise in demand for Bitcoin in a very small and short time frame.
We've noted yesterday how Chinese traders are starting to perk up – could we be seeing the revival of the market? Let us know what you think on our Facebook page!


The third largest city in Japan, it's most famous for its tasty local delicacies. You can now fly direct between Sydney and Osaka three times per week.
The smallest prefecture in the country also has one of the biggest personalities and largest populations (second only to Tokyo).
The friendly locals speak the colourful Kansai-ben dialect (if you can understand Japanese!) as they bustle along the city streets illuminated with over-the-top 3D neon signage. Contrast this with 16th century Osaka Castle at the city's heart, a five-layer traditional donjon, and you've got a good mix of modern Japan alongside traditional architecture and culture.
Redeem your Qantas Points with Qantas to Japan on Japan Airlines to over 70 destinations throughout Japan and onwards to Europe and the US.
Bypass traditional tourist options for a taste of modern Japanese living with bustling street life, tasty eats and good times.
Visit the picturesque World Heritage-listed Shirakawago village with its famous farmhouses and traditional Japanese archtiecture.
With two major city centres (Kita to the North, and Minami to the South) and four major train stations there are plenty of areas to see and enjoy the best of Japanese culture.
The cultural centre of Osaka, the area is dominated by the impressive Osaka Castle, built by the pre-eminent warrior, samurai and politician Hideyoshi Toyotomi in 1583. A visit to this 5-story castle is a must, with important artworks and spectacular architectural references all around.
This is also the area to head to in Spring if you don't have the chance to leave the city to see the stunning cherry blossom displays. Head to the riverside Kema Sakuranomiya Park where you can stroll amongst the 4,700 cherry trees and spend a very happy few hours.
South of Osaka Castle are the remains of the Naniwa-no-Miya Palace. Supposed to have been finished in 652, it's said the be the oldest palace ruin in Japan.
The northerly of the city's two centres, Kita is a thriving business hub with plenty of shopping, restaurants, hotels and entertainment options. If you're after some shopping there are several department stores and underground shopping malls where you can give your credit card a workout.
The area has recently been going through a redevelopment and now boasts light, bright and modern architecture with the facilities you'd expect from a 21st century city. Highlights to look out for include the Umeda Sky Building with its twin towers and open-air observation deck 173m in the sky. If that sounds a little too modern, head to Kitashinchi District where you'll find a more traditional feeling with its hundreds of bars, restaurants and clubs.
The city's most well-known entertainment district offers plenty of dining and shopping options. The area's most famous street is Dotonbori, and a place where you'll hear the local phrase kuidaore (eat 'till you drop). Look out for the famous Glico Running Man sign and Kani Doraku crab sign.
Shoppers should set their sites on the Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade, the city's destination shopping hot spot. Roughly 600m long, the strip combines chain stores and trendy boutiques alongside expensive department stores and designer labels. If it's electronics you're after, head for Den Den Town in the Nipponbashi area, comparable to Tokyo's Akihabara.
Culture aficionados can get some local inspiration at the Shochikuza Theatre or National Bunraku Theatre. The Kamigata Ukiyoe museum meanwhile is the only museum in the world to house a permanent Kamigata Ukiyoe exhibit, traditional woodblock prints of kabuki actors.
Home to Japan's tallest skyscraper, Abeno Harukas (300m high), the district offers several malls with a range of shopping options. Other highlights to look out for are the Shitennoji Temple - one of Japan's oldest and the first ever built by the government - and Tennoji Park with its own zoo and art museum. West of the park lies Shinsekai, a uniquely Osakan dining and entertainment district.
Kyoto is the traditional bigger sister to the slightly wilder and more chaotic Osaka. One of the most visited cities in Japan it was the centre of Japanese politics and culture for over 1,100 years.
Culture vultures will have a field day (or multiple days) with 17 World Heritage cultural sites including the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Nijo Castle. Definitely worth a visit. Walk the streets of Gion district and you may meet some 'maiko', young dancing entertainers who wear long-hanging sleeved kimono. Across town the Nishijin district is a great place to pick up some traditional 'Nishijin-ori' textiles with vividly coloured threads.
Visit an onsen (a hot spring). The most famous is Arashiyama Onsen (Ashiyu in Arashiyama station). The ashiyu uses Arashiyama onsen water which is known for healing nerve pain, muscle pain, chronic digestive disease, fatigue, and so on. Bathing for about 10 minutes is most effective.
Visit a karensansui or Dry Landscape Garden - made of sand, gravel, rocks and occasionally grass or trees but no water.
The best times to visit Osaka are October/November (autumn) and March/April/May (spring), however you can visit at any time of year because the weather is temperate. Summer (June/July/August) in Kyoto is hot and humid. Winter (December/January/February) in Kyoto is cold.
There are a number of train options from the airport. The one worth taking is the 'Haruka' limited express trains between the airport and Tennoji, taking roughly 30 minutes. Foreign tourists can take advantage of the 'Icoca and Haruka' ticket meaning you can travel by non-reserved seat for a discounted price.
Osaka has over seven different railway and subway companies serving the city. The main ones and most useful to foreign visitors are the ones operated by JR West. Look out for the Osaka Loop Line as well as options to Kobe, Kyoto, Nara and Universal Studios.
For travel in the city centre it's worth getting an Osaka Amazing Pass which provides unlimited use of subways and buses within the city on one or two consecutive days, plus free admission to many of the city's most popular tourist attractions.

Bench Drill Made of Metal Scrap
By bezerra_paulopftz in WorkshopMetalworking
By bezerra_paulopftz
Making your own tools has something special and using them is a greater pleasure yet. They fit our needs and have an even greater value. By thinking of this project I wanted it to be simple, easy to run, but efficient and robust. The choice by this building mode fits right into this line of thought.
The advantage of this way of doing the press vise is that it has two points of support, unlike the others that always appears on the various channels.
Step 1: Because This Way?
Observe the drawing and notice that in the usual way the mowing bar has only one point of support that is right in front. The other has two, one in the front and the other in the back so the movable part of the vise press is not loose, it is guided from the beginning to the end of the course of the threaded bar, not being necessary if placing some kind of guide on both sides and bottom. Technical data: Length: 260mm; Width: 180mm; Aperture: 150mm
Step 2: Preparing the Parts
1.1 - Cutting corner
Cut two pieces of 260 mm corner 2 "x 1 \ 8";
Cut two Pieces of 180mm Corner 1 ½ "x ¼";
Mark the center of the parts and the width that will have the press;
In each of the two pieces, make 2 holes (5, 0mm) to be made, in the two pieces, thread. This will allow you to place cheeks;
1.2 - Preparing the anterior and posterior supports
For didactic effect, we will consider that the front (anterior) is the one that has the arm that moves the thread.
So cut a piece of 50 mm from corner 2 "x 1/8";
Make a hole of 1/2. "
Remember this press model has two supporting points and a movable part that should be aligned for the smooth operation of the displacement mechanism. So before drilling, make a measurement to determine the height that the other point of support and the movable part will be.
The dimensions of the bearing or bushing used may influence this height of this bore.
For the posterior part cut a piece of 30mm from Corner 2 "x 1/8";
Make a hole of 1/2 "to the center;
As it can be observed in the photo, this piece of corner will be fixed a bearing or just a loofah to serve as a support for the threaded bar. If you use bearing, to facilitate eventual exchange or maintenance of the same, do not weld directly into the workpiece.
In case it was used a 12x25x8mm bearing, this is inserted into a piece of barrel and this is welded to the piece of corner. As it did not have a barrel compatible with the diameter of the bearing cut a piece of 20 mm long and cut in half in longitudinal direction, opened and adapted to the bearing
1.3 - Preparing the movable parts
The next part to be mounted is the nut that remained in the movable part.
I used 3 ½ nut, pinned on a piece of 40x30mm iron. This iron took advantage of the corner that had remained.
Final result.
1.4 - Preparing the spindle
The preparation of the spindle is made in two phases.
First the side that's going to be on the back. The threaded bar is ½ "and the bearing has its internal diameter of 10mm. Reduce the diameter of the threaded bar until it snaps into the bearing.
The second, on the opposite end, you will need two nuts of ½ ". One goes threaded in the bar, even half the nut. Give a soldering point to secure the door to the bar. The second nut will be welded on top of the first and served to pass another bolt on the inside and serve to tighten and slack.
Cut in half a nut ½ ", this will be placed in the anterior part to lock the threaded bar.
2.1 - Mounting the fixed part
With the 3 part mounted previously we have been mounting the press.
This press was made with 180 mm wide. Previously to facilitate the welding were made marks (previous photo) with 180mm. So at the time of welding just alinharas two angles with the brands made in the corner which served on the fixed part. Just give a soldering point to end later when you have conferred if the entire structure is on the square.
The next step is to weld the support from the previous part.
Give only solder points.
Check if the pieces are aligned, in the square, and then weld definitively.
With the main part already mounted and adjusted the next step is solder the piece that has the bearing on the posterior part.
When finishing the main structure should look similar to those of the photo.
The photo shows the main frame already mounted with the threaded bar inserted in both supports.
At the time of welding the back support, pay careful attention to alignment, longitudinal and height. In case of misalignment the threaded rod will lock.
Notice in the photos that the holes were made taking care to leave them the same height. In our case it was necessary to use two pieces of 1/8 "plate so that the bar was aligned in the two points of support
2.2 - Mounting the moving part
Taking the other piece of corner of 1 ½ "x ¼", soldering the set of nuts previously secured.
Remembering again. It is good before making the final welding observe the height of this piece with the other support, the previous
Step 8: Assembling the Parts
The great time has come to gather all the parts and finish the project.
Finishing with enamel paint, I used my favorite color.
This bolt serves as an arm to move the spindle of the press. Insert it into the spindle and thread the nut.
1 - With the underside of the main frame facing upwards, insert the threaded bar from the front.
2-Insert the washer and thread the two pieces of the nuts that have been cut.
3 - Assemble the movable part, with the nuts facing upward, with the fixed part. Like the press is closed. Continue to thread the bar until the tip appears on the opposite side.
4 - keep threading until the tip is inserted into the bearing.
It was placed a coolant cap (blue), only to protect the bearing.
Tighten the two nuts against the washer.
Insert the bolt inside the nut that has been welded into the threaded bar.
To finish it was placed a wooden mordant, fixed with two 5.0 mm screws
This done
Enjoy!!!

I had already put it in place and did not want to throw it away. And it was blue


Dear students, this is what every student dreams about: you may now assess my teaching this school year. Be honest and do not worry about being strict. Your opinion will be very important for me to be a better teacher. What's more, it's in Spanish!
I will post a couple of links to useful websites in case you want to review this summer. I still don't know when, but it will be soon enough.

Endurance Sports Remind Me That I'm Human, But Not In The Way You Might Think
Uncategorized / By Kevin E.
by Kevin E.
Heart is racing. Muscles are burning. Face is twisted in a grimace. Part of your brain says "Stop, you'll hurt yourself!" but another screams louder "Push harder!!" And somehow, you do push harder and harder still.
You may recognize this sensation as an adrenaline rush. Clinically, its nothing more than a release of a hormone that allows the body to turn fuel into energy faster. A simple, routine bodily process.
For athletes, it holds a special place in our souls. Its the spark for our fire. Its what gets us out of bed before dawn for a workout. It pushes us to the finish when we might not believe we can make it.
To most modern humans, the adrenaline response is a bonus power-up. We induce it partly for the release of pleasure-inducing endorphins that accompanies it. Its a natural and legal recreational high.
For our ancestors though, it was the difference between life and death.
The adrenaline response is one of the evolutionary adaptations that helped to ensure our species' survival in the early days. Along with a body built for long-distance running, adrenaline helped give early humans the stamina to chase down large prey and escape more powerful predators.
From the very beginning, Homo Sapiens were born endurance athletes. Some experts argue that this was the key to unlocking the potential of our superior intellect. Early humans' endurance helped them hunt megafauna, affording them access to protein-rich food sources to fuel their growing brains. They used those growing brains to build tools, establish settlements, etc. The rest, as they say, is history.
If you're reading this now, you have adrenaline to thank, at least in part.
The modern human lives in a different world. The most endurance many of us have to muster in search of food is spanning the vast distance from the couch to the fridge. Smilodons, giant bears, and other prehistoric predators are no longer bearing down on us at every turn. Our superior intellect has created a world where the physical adaptations that got us here are no longer necessary.
Why run when you can sit?
So what's to become of those features that the miracle of evolution has blessed us with through the generations?
Will the human adrenaline response go the way of the appendix, a vestigal stump that stagnates within our bodies, waiting to be excised?
Perhaps one day we'll be removing our adrenal glands along with our tonsils. But today, adrenaline still flows within each and every one of us. As proud Homo Sapiens, it is our duty to unleash it while we still can. It's part of who we are.
So get out there and get your heart rate up. Feel your skin tingle as the adrenaline flows through you. Dig deep and push yourself further than you've ever gone before. Connect with your humanity and feel what it might have felt like to chase a Mastodon down the Pleistocene tundra with your prehistoric hunting party. No time machine necessary.
Don't worry if you don't catch it though. There will still be food when you're done.

Perched on the top of Astrid Hill, the majestic house is 2,000sqm. The parti of the house is 2 interlocking L shape plans with the formal dining room as a focal point to lock both the interior and exterior spaces together. Internal garden spaces are used to mediate the level differences of the land and to layer the experiences of traversing the house. It also allows plenty of sunlight and airflow into the otherwise very large floor plate..

Hrvatska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti (HAZU) najviša je hrvatska znanstvena i umjetnička institucija. Utemeljitelj HAZU bio je Josip Juraj Strossmayer. Pitanje osnivanja Akademije biskup je Strossmayer službeno pokrenuo na sjednici Hrvatskoga sabora od 29. travnja 1861. (danas Dan HAZU).

Povijest

Već u 16. st. Hrvati su imali svoje akademije, znanstvene ustanove ili znanstvena društva najuglednijih i najučenijih ljudi, koji su uzeli sebi kao zadaću da svojim izdanjima, raspravama i povremenim akademičkim sastancima stalno daju nove poticaje znanstvenom istraživanju i gojenju čiste znanosti, umjetnosti i moralnih vrlina. Pripreme za osnutak današnje Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti u Zagrebu (HAZU) učinjene su u sam osvit hrvatskoga narodnog preporoda. Preporodne zamisli o osnivanju "učenog društva" izrečene u prvim desetljećima prošloga stoljeća u skladu s težnjama prvaka narodnoga buđenja, oblikovane su u zaključke Hrvatskoga sabora iz 1836. pa potom 1843, 1845. i 1847. godine, koje su vodile prema osnivanju ustanove od općeg nacionalnog značenja, najviše znanstvene i umjetničke ustanove: akademije znanosti.

Revolucionarni su događaji sljedećih godina i potom apsolutizam unutar Austro-Ugarske monarhije odgodili na više od deset godina izvršenje navedenih odluka. Nakon tzv. Luksemburškog manifesta cara Franje Josipa I. donekle se liberalizira politički i društveni život, pa novi Ustav od 1860. osigurava neovisan Hrvatski sabor. U tu svrhu sazvana Banska konferencija bila je važna i za osnivanje nacionalne akademije. Temelje HAZU položio je Josip Juraj Strossmayer, 10. prosinca 1860., kada je prvoj Banskoj konferenciji uputio pismenu darovnicu i dao novčani prilog (50.000 forinti) nužan za zakladu akademije. Njegov primjer ubrzo slijedi cijela Hrvatska. Upravo izabrani Hrvatski sabor 15. travnja 1861. već 29. travnja iste godine jednoglasno prihvaća Strossmayerov prijedlog o osnutku Akademije znanosti i stavlja je u svoju zaštitu, a istoga dana izabran je odbor koji će izraditi statut Akademije, s jasnim određenjem njezine svrhe i ustroja. Tada su prihvaćena Pravila i u obliku zakonskoga prijedloga poslana kralju na sankciju, koji ih potvrđuje tek 7. kolovoza 1863. uz zahtjev za promjenom određenih tekstualnih izričaja zbog posebnih interesa bečkih političkih čimbenika. Novoizabrani Sabor 1865. prerađuje Pravila i kralj odobrava prilično izmijenjena pravila o Jugoslavenskoj akademiji znanosti i umjetnosti tek 4. ožujka 1866. godine. Odmah zatim vladar je potvrdio i prvih 14 (od 16) pravih članova Akademije. Ta pravila ostala su nepromijenjena do početka Drugoga svjetskoga rata.

Na sjednici 26. srpnja 1866. članovi prihvaćaju Poslovnik te biraju Josipa Jurja Strossmayera za pokrovitelja, a kanonika i povjesničara Franju Račkoga za prvog predsjednika. Bila su osnovana tri razreda: historičko-filološki, filozofičko-juridički i matematičko-prirodoslovni. Zahvaljujući naraslomu fondu, od 1919. djeluje još i umjetnički razred. a knjižnice i arhiva osobito je dragocjena arhivska zbirka glagoljskih rukopisa, koja je među najvećima u svijetu. Zahvaljujući poklonu zbirke slika J. J. Strossmayera, utemeljena je Galerija starih majstora – službeno otvorena 1884. smještanjem slika u prostorije današnje Akademijine zgrade na Zrinjskom trgu u Zagrebu.

Nacionalna akademija znanosti i umjetnosti u svojim je početnim danima uzela ime akademije Slavorum meridionalium (južnoslavenska) kao iskaz romantično-utopijskog pogleda na slavensko jedinstvo europskog juga, da bi tek u doba samostalne Hrvatske (ne računajući odluku o hrvatskom imenu iz vremena Banovine Hrvatske i razdoblja NDH) u potpunosti zadobila narodno ime koje i danas nosi u skladu s riječima Franje Račkoga: "Naša je Akademija osnovana ponajprije da hrvatskomu narodu služi, da ispituje njegov jezik, njegovu povijest i književnost, domovine njegove prirodne odnošaje."

Hrvatska akademija svake godine 29. travnja slavi Dan Akademije u spomen na odluku Hrvatskoga sabora o osnivanju akademije znanosti. Toga se dana istaknutim pojedincima dodjeljuju Nagrade HAZU.

Glavne zadaće
Glavne zadaće Akademije utvrđene su u članku 3. Zakona o HAZU, i to kako slijedi:

Nakladništvo
Akademija veliku pozornost posvećuje nakladničkoj djelatnosti u okviru koje se izdaju mnogobrojni časopisi, knjige, monografije, rječnici, katalozi izložaba. Prvi broj najstarije serije izdanja pod nazivom Rad Jugoslavenske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti izašao je 1867. i do 2012. tiskano je 514 svezaka.

Slijedila su druga Akademijina izdanja, kojima je obilježen njezin rad: Spomenici koji se odnose na povijest južnih Slavena (Monumenta spectantia historiam Slavorum meridionalium), zbirka izvora za povijest južnih Slavena (od 1868.), Starine (od 1869.), Stari pisci hrvatski (od 1869.), Povijesno-pravni spomenici južnih Slavena (Monumenta historico-iuridica Slavorum meridionalium), zbirka pravnih izvora (od 1877), Ljetopis Jugoslavenske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti (od 1877.), Rječnik hrvatskog ili srpskog jezika (1880. – 1976.), Djela Jugoslavenske akademije (od 1882.), Zbornik za narodni život i običaje južnih Slavena (od 1896.), Građa za povijest književnosti hrvatske (od 1897.) te Diplomatički zbornik Kraljevine Hrvatske, Dalmacije i Slavonije (Codex diplomaticus regni Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae), koji obuhvaća diplomatičke isprave iz razdoblja 743. – 1400., a do sada je objavljeno (od 1904. do 1990) 18 svezaka. God. 1990. započet je rad na izradi dopuna te edicije, a do sada su tiskana dva sveska: Diplomatički zbornik Kraljevine Hrvatske, Dalmacije i Slavonije – Dodaci (Codex diplomaticus regni Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae – Supplementa) (I–II, 1998. – 2002.).

Pojedini Akademijini znanstveni instituti izdaju posebne edicije s najnovijim istraživanjima za određeno područje.

A competency framework was developed that translated council values and performance measures into management and employee behaviours under key corporate themes.
Competencies were developed for leadership and management to reflect current council priorities/objectives and then customised to reflect the different levels of managers and the nature of the role.
A rating element was introduced to the new ADR process to provide a basis for performance improvement by generating a discussion about current levels of competency.
The process involves a review of an individuals' current work plan and the creation and validation of a new work plan to reflect team/service priorities.
The process was designed to focus on outcomes/ key results areas to ensure that there was a specific purpose for assessing competency.
ADR was developed with competencies and a process that recognises 5 management and 2 employee levels which is reflected in the templates and supporting documentation.
Performance development planning is an integral part of the process using a standard template which will enable the collation of training needs.
The process provides a clear focus on outcomes by reflecting on key result areas.
ADR has been adapted as necessary to ensure that it works for all services/ teams and employees.
The core competencies provide a basis for an integrated approach to employee performance with the same competencies used across HR processes e.g. recruitment.
The ADR provides an employee performance management process that meets the needs of all employees and provides a platform for individual and collective improvement.
Any barriers to employees participating in ADR have been overcome to ensure that the process is fit for purpose for all relevant employees.
All managers are conversant with the application of the ADR process and have been given the knowledge and skills to apply it in an effective manner.
Learning and development needs can be captured from templates to inform training programmes.
Timescale is integral to the ADR process so all elements of implementation had to be prepared to launch it in line with that requirement including templates, guidance, communication, etc.
Mandatory training was needed for all line managers over a short period of time (2/3 months) with very little planning time.
The process is more time consuming than the previously used Performance Review and Personal Development Plan (PRPDP) which it replaced so it was important to persuade managers/ employees of the benefits of investing additional time.
Some teams/ services wanted the templates to better reflect local circumstances and management processes and it was important to adapt the process to meet their needs without undermining the overall integrity of ADR.
Having been through the first cycle of reviews using the new ADR the council are now undertaking a series of feedback sessions with members of management and staff to learn more about what worked and what needs to be improved and developed further.
A performance management process for employees is an essential element of ensuring there is a culture of continuous improvement. The introduction of ADR and the process for ensuring that it happens provides an opportunity for every employee to discuss their performance and should lead to a better understanding of the competencies and behaviours which are expected of all employees.
ADR is a bespoke process that has been developed specifically for the council incorporating its values, priorities and outcomes. There was significant consultation with a variety of stakeholders before its implementation as well as several pilots.
The competencies that are used to assess employees in ADR will be used in the recruitment, learning and development and induction processes. This will ensure there is an integrated and consistent approach to assessing competency.
The council wide implementation of ADR required a significant input from the team working to tight deadlines to ensure the rollout was in sync with the process timescales.

Now you know you really have settled nicely into mum life when you're getting way to excited over drink bottles that don't leak. After being recommended by other mums to try the B.Box products, I was instantly hooked.
As a mum of two boys I have tried lots of different kids products and I haven't thought much of them until I came across the B.Box products, and realised how functional and practical they are.
Having a very active toddler that won't sit still for a second, I am obsessed with these Sippy cups, which are not your standard drink bottles. Its magic like straw lets my little Otis drink at any angle, making him feel independent, and we can take it anywhere like the park and the car and I don't have to worry about any leaking. Both my boys even the 4 year old have made them their favourites.
If you have seen my 2 year old eat you know that the cool Bowl and Straw are a brilliant idea as they minimise the mess when eating his morning Weetabix and pretty much any meal… With a cool lid that the kids can get into for their food, but at the same time stops the food coming out, it makes meal times easier and anything that helps make life easier with kids is a no brainer for us.
All products are BPA, Phthalates and PVC free which is always important in our house. From the plates to the sippy cup lids, it's all we use in our home on a daily basis.
Now that I have come across this super cool biz, by 2 cool local mums BBOX, we won't be going back and happy to recommend them to other mums.

CHINA AND NORTH KOREA GET NEW CAUTION WITH SUCCESSFUL SM-3 BLOCK IIA TEST
Since U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis's first overseas trip to Japan and South Korea was a reaffirmation of United States policy in the Asia-Pacific region there are two interesting developments worth mentioning.
First, for the third time, the Chinese Defense Ministry has released visuals of its Dongfeng 16 (DF-16) Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) believed to be among their most accurate ballistic missiles. The road-mobile MRBM is believed to be able to carry up to three nuclear or convention warheads, and has a range of 800 to 1000 kilometers. weapons. The DF-16 first viewed in 2015, is believed to be the successor to the less accurate and older DF-11 and DF-15. The DF-16's primary strategic use is in a showdown with Taiwan, but it has the range to strike American military bases in the so-called "first Island Chain" including Japan and the Philippines. The missile flies to such a height that its speed on re-entry is geared to defeat the United States Patriot PAC-3 air defense missile. Future improvements of the DF-16 are likely to include terminally guided and deep penetrating warheads for use against bunkers.
Second, the United States and Japan successfully flight-tested a Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA off the west coast of Hawaii on February 3, 2017. The SM-3, launched from the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones tracked and destroyed the incoming MRBM target in a successful test. The missile interceptor is designed to destroy Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM) to Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM) and can be deployed at land-based Aegis sites and on Aegis-equipped warships. The SM-3 has a larger engine and bigger kinetic warhead than its predecessors. Not surprisingly, it is the counter-measure against the Chinese DF-16.
A successful test of the SM-3 Block IIA is a clear further signal to both China and North Korea that the United States is ready.

Arsonists target ND MP's car in Patra
November 5, 2020 05.11.2020 • 21:51
The car of a New Democracy MP was set on fire while parked outside his home in downtown Patra on Thursday night, the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA) has reported.
"I heard an explosion and went out to see what was going on. That's when I saw that my car was on fire and some neighbors were trying to put it out," Iasonas Fotilas, a lawmaker with the conservative ruling party, told ANA-MPA.
Fotilas said that witnesses to the incident recounted seeing four people in hood near the car just before the blast. One of them poured some kind of liquid onto the vehicle, while another smashed a window and a third threw a homemade firebomb into the car's interior. "The group then disappeared," he quoted neighbors as saying.
Fotilas said that he will not be intimated, tough he did not specify why he thinks he may have been targeted, attributing the attack instead to the "usual" hooded youths. "I wonder why they think that such acts of intimidation will convince people of the righteousness of their demands."
The New Democracy MP indicated that the attack may be linked to a student rally that took place in the western port city earlier in the day in protest at government measures to increase security at university campuses after a rector was attacked in his office in Athens last week.

Women are on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19
They're 'the shock absorbers of society': a majority in the global health workforce, but scarce in its leadership ranks. Can that change?
By Rachel Jones

In mid-May, Emma Robbins boarded a private plane in Van Nuys, California, with just three passengers: herself, Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn, and renowned video and film director Sam Bayer. Penn and Bayer were heading to the Navajo Nation for a meeting with President Jonathan Nez to discuss how Penn's humanitarian aid organisation, Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE), could provide assistance, including COVID-19 testing, to the reservation during the pandemic. They invited Robbins to come along.

The 33-year-old artist and community activist almost didn't accept the last-minute invitation—she had too much to do in her Los Angeles office. But she couldn't pass up the chance for a quick trip to the place where she grew up and where she serves as Navajo Water Project director for DigDeep, a nonprofit seeking to expand access to clean water in the United States.
One third of the people living in the Navajo Nation do not have clean water and indoor plumbing—a dangerous public health situation made catastrophic by the pandemic. The week of Robbins' star-studded flight, COVID-19 infection rates on the reservation surpassed those in New York and New Jersey, making them the highest in the nation. The federal government has designated $600 million to the Navajo Nation in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
"Everyone has an opinion about what to do with the money," Robbins says. "But look, why do we have this high infection rate? It's because people don't have access to clean water. They have to travel, they need to wash their hands, there's no sanitation. Mentally it's wearing people down. I knew if I joined the conversation, I could make an impact."
Robbins' practical approach toward battling COVID-19 mirrors that of many women around the world who are directly involved in pandemic response. Whether as front-line health workers, nursing home care givers or community activists, women are logging long hours managing the fallout of COVID-19, while juggling their own childcare and family responsibilities throughout the pandemic. (Meet the French doctor who serves as a lifeline for her rural community.)
When it comes to decision-making and leadership roles during this emergency, though, there's a glaring disparity for women. World Health Organisation data estimates that while women comprise 70 percent of the global health workforce, they hold only 25 percent of leadership positions. A February photo of the U.S. Coronavirus Taskforce led by Vice President Mike Pence sparked controversy because it showed only men.
"You stand up because you think you have an answer," says Winnie Byanyima, the executive director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS. "You organize and you search for a solution."

Women across a range of health care arenas have identified the COVID-19 crisis as the scenario that gives them leverage to boost those leadership numbers. More women taking the lead on global health policies and emergency response will inevitably translate into positive change, says Winnie Byanyima, executive director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AID (UN AIDS).
"People who have historically been on the outside transform a situation, because they bring new perspectives, new issues, new needs to the table," says Byanyima, a Ugandan who has spent a lifetime breaking barriers. She earned an aerospace engineering degree and worked for Uganda Airlines before joining the National Resistance Army in its fight to overturn then Ugandan President Milton Obote. She later served as executive director of Oxfam International.
Decades of political activism fuelled Byanyima's rise to the top ranks of global health leadership. "My story is like that of many other women from poor countries, faced with one crisis after another demanding solutions," she says. "You stand up because you think you have an answer. You organise and you search for a solution. That's how I grew in my leadership, by always wanting to be part of finding a solution to the biggest problem we face."

Regarding COVID-19, Byanyima says the world need look no further than at the successes of countries with women leaders. Germany, Norway, and New Zealand have been widely praised for their progress in testing, contact tracing, and containing the spread of the coronavirus. In fact, an analysis of COVID-19 responses by the group Open Democracy found that countries with women in leadership positions have suffered six times fewer confirmed COVID-19 deaths than governments with men at the top. And female-led governments have been able to flatten the coronavirus curve and move toward safely reopening sooner.
"Take someone like Jacinda Ardern [New Zealand's prime minister]," says Byanyima. "She has been hit by the biggest challenges in just her first term in office. She has had an earthquake, she has had a terrorist attack, she's now facing COVID-19. But she's so admired because her approach in each case is out of the box. It is empathetic, it is transformative, and it is a multi-tasking approach."
Though research shows that men are more likely to suffer from severe COVID-19 complications, women front-line health workers face a much greater risk than men of contracting the disease, says Michelle McIsaac. An economist and health workforce specialist at the World Health Organisation, McIsaac leads its program on gender and equity in the global health workforce.
"We've heard that women are more liable to be affected by shortages of personal protective equipment, or lack of training in how to use PPE," McIsaac says. And what's worse, much of the available PPE, including full-body gear, is designed by men and is often not adaptable to women's bodies, nor does it take into account their menstrual needs.

In the face of lower pay, insecure contracts, and the violence and aggression against health care workers overall, female frontline health care workers are inarguably more vulnerable. "This pandemic has demonstrated that women are the 'shock absorbers' of society," says Roopa Dhatt, who was still in medical school when she founded Women in Global Health to address gender equity in health leadership.
Women in Global Health recently partnered with Pathfinder International to establish chapters in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Niger, Nigeria, and Pakistan. "Who's leading—whether it's at the national level, or at a health system within a hospital—matters not only from a gender perspective but from a broader diversity perspective," Dhatt says. "Women need to be shaping health systems at every level."
One of the biggest issues the organisation tackles is the gender gap in compensation for women in the health sector. "Beneath the picture of women's heroism on the frontlines is the fact that half of what women do in the health sector is currently unpaid—which equals £1 trillion annually," says Dhatt. "And if we factor in the unpaid social care work, estimates go up to even £7.7 trillion."

Effectively promoting gender equity and leadership may require taking a more nuanced approach to data collection, says Shirin Heidari, founding president of GENDRO, a Geneva-based NGO that supports gender equity through academic research.
As an example, she says, "countries are not producing enough gender-related data on infection rates, or mortality among health care workers. A study from the early days of the pandemic from China found that women frontline workers have a higher risk of severe mental health challenges, depression, insomnia, anxiety—but we really need to understand this dynamic better."
Women leaders including Byanyima say their presence on the global stage is crucial as this crisis lengthens, to ensure that there's equity across the board as medical treatments and prevention tools are developed.

"I'm still fighting for a commitment that, should a vaccine come out, the first to be served are frontline health workers," Byanyima says. "It can't be that if a vaccine is found, a child in a rich country like the UK gets vaccinated and a frontline worker in Burkina Faso is in the back of the queue because her country is poor. That is too much of an injustice."
Sometimes fighting injustice means seizing improbable opportunities, such as flights on private planes with movie stars. When Emma Robbins visited the Navajo Nation and met with its president, Jonathan Nez, she jumped right into the conversation, emphasising water access and indoor plumbing needs for the Navajo Nation. Later she submitted a proposal to strengthen infrastructure using CARES Act funding.
Since April, DigDeep has distributed 262,000 gallons of bottled water, and helped 300 Navajo families get hot and cold running water. By the end of July, about 300 water storage tanks will be in place.
Having a seat at the table makes all the difference, Robbins says.
"It's important that the people with power don't forget about what I represent, as a Navajo woman, for these projects and for my team," she says. "That's the lesson I learned from the women in my family: to take care of your community, because it's much more than caring for individuals—it's caring for our culture and making sure that everybody is elevated."
One third of the residents of Navajo Nation don't have clean water or indoor plumbing, which makes following pandemic precautions to wash hands difficult.

Not only does La Salle offer students the opportunity to grow individually and as a community, we also offer many opportunities for our young men to put their faith into action. La Salle does NOT have mandatory service hours for our students. Rather, service is seen as part of the fabric of our Christian community and a responsibility, not a requirement of each member of that community. Freshmen are introduced to this spirit of service early on through their Branch-Out Day. In this day of service, the entire freshmen class volunteers at a local service organization. However, they do not do this alone. In addition to a faculty chaperone, their father or other significant male is invited to share in the experience, thereby providing a visible example.
The cornerstone of our service program, however, is our on-going service projects. Students can participate in a variety of service projects seven days a week. Whether tutoring a grade school student in Kensington; serving a meal to a person on the streets; spending time with the elderly or disabled; or more, there is an opportunity for everyone. These projects are directed by faculty and staff and include transportation and supervision.
In addition, our Ministry & Service Team is a group of over fifty students who lead our Clothing and Thanksgiving food drives; Provide leadership in liturgy and prayer service gatherings, and coordinate our week long celebration of our Lasallian heritage during FSC Week.
Finally, when the school year ends, our service program does not. Last summer, over 300 students participated in one of fifteen service immersion programs. Groups of students, faculty and staff traveled near and far to not only serve those in need, but to learn about their culture and reflect on their own faith. This summer La Salle students will volunteer in St. Lucia, Coachella, Philadelphia, West Virginia, Memphis, The Navajo Nation, Puerto Rico, Chicago, The Bronx, Bolivia, and Ireland.

Program Description: Triest Hall is a 24-hour residential program for adults with impaired intellectual and adaptive functioning as a result of neurodevelopmental disorders. Operated under the authority of the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs, the home is under the care of the Brothers of Charity who have been working with marginalized and vulnerable people since their foundation in 1807. La Salle's student volunteers meet the residents in their exercise room to help with motivation and organization, but most importantly to provide the social interaction that is a core component of the residents' care program.
Date, Time, & Frequency: Weekly on Tuesdays. Depart from La Salle at 3:55 PM and the workout is over by 5:00 PM. Volunteers usually sign up for four or more Tuesdays, but some of our 'veteran' volunteers have been going on a weekly basis (when they are free) for several years and have cemented strong and meaningful relationships with the residents.
Transportation Provided: Yes, but student can also travel in their own cars.
Organization Address: Brothers of Charity Residance, Triest Hall, 7720 Doe Lane, Laverock, PA 19038 (just over one mile from La Salle)
