North Andover, MA – February 1, 2012 – A Little Easier Recovery, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to make it "A Little Easier" for the next person that must endure cancer treatment and recovery, were thrilled to receive a $15,000 grant from The Boston Scientific Foundation, whose mission is to increase access to quality health care and address health disparities.
A Little Easier Recovery provides an essential recovery jacket called the "Jacki®" that appears to be an everyday jacket when in reality, it aids cancer patients enduring treatment and recovery. The Jacki has essential, unique pocketing, post-surgical sensitive fabric, and Velcro seams that allows for a full range of motion while keeping patients stylish and comfortable. Boston hospitals provide the Jacki, free of charge, to Breast Cancer patients who would benefit most. This is only possible through grants and donations to A Little Easier Recovery. The non-profit organization donates the free program directly to hospitals to distribute at the discretion of nurses and surgeons. Since its inception, over 6,000 Jacki recovery jackets have been given to patients as a gift, and A Little Easier Recovery aims to supply thousands more.


Wincor Nixdorf, a Germany headquartered banking technology firm, has purchased a majority stake in Projective. The capital investment enables the project management consultancy to accelerate its "ambitious growth plans" says Projective CEO Stefan Dierckx, with in particular expansion into untapped European financial hubs and the FinTech industry earmarked as key targets. Projective maintains its independence and management structure.
Projective, founded in 2006 in Belgium, is a consulting firm that specialises in project management and advisory services to the financial services sector. From its base in Belgium the firm expanded to the Netherlands in 2009 (The Hague) and the United Kingdom in 2010 (London). The past five years have seen the business book strong growth, more than doubling its team to over 100 consultants and project managers and annual sales to around €20 million.
Last year Dierckx revealed that Projective's partner team had set its sights on growing the firm's ranks to over 200 professionals in the space of a few years, on the back of organic growth in existing markets and the setup of operations in untapped financial hubs such as Paris, Frankfurt or Zurich. The plans and timelines however were bolder than the independent partnerships' capacity, and to speed up the trajectory Dierckx and the other partners have attracted a large investment from Wincor Nixdorf.
The international, Germany-origin company has acquired a majority (51%) of Projective's shares, however, clear agreements have been made to maintain the independence of the consultancy, says Dierckx. "We will maintain our independent positioning, as well as our brand and current management", comments the CEO. The move is positioned as a bolt-on to Wincor Nixdorf's professional services business, and one that aligns with its strategy to move upstream into the business consulting segment.
For Projective, the deal (retroactive to January 1, 2016) marks a "new era" in the firm's history, says Dierckx, with – if all goes according to plan – the new phase set to revolve around accelerated growth and increased recognition. Underpinning the growth plans are three pillars. Firstly, Projective will be able to tap into the customer base of Wincor Nixdorf – the 1952 founded company provides retail and retail banking hardware, software and services to clients in over 100 countries around the globe. "Working with Wincor Nixdorf clients, we can expand our services to the financial services industries in other countries." Projective will typically be involved with "large and complex" programmes, often with a technology component. Other key focus areas include regulation (MIFID, EMIR or FATCA), roll-outs, integrations/carve-outs and change management initiatives.
Secondly, the capital investment received will be used to re-invest into the firm, across the board, from branding and the development of new propositions to recruitment and talent development. The third pillar eyes expansion into greenfield terrains, including the likes of FinTech and banking innovation. The later has, of late, rapidly propelled to the top of banking agendas, spurred by the strategic threats digital can pose. Besides spending more on innovation, financials are upping their corporate venturing activities and tying relationships with FinTech players – an industry valued at $19 billion globally according to KPMG. Dierckx says that for specialists such as Projective major opportunities are unfolding in the space, pointing at the Eggsplore network as an example*.
* Established by Jurgen Ingels, co-founder of Clear2Pay, Eggsplore is a network and coaching platform for FinTech start-ups that works together with several major banks and insurance companies, as well as external providers such as Projective. As part of the alliance, Projective facilitates cooperation and support programme execution.

You can easily look for a carpenter to get your work done. However, the steps that you have to follow in order to look for a carpenter, who is capable of offering what you need is not an easy job to do. You will need to pay attention towards a lot of factors in order to get the assistance of such a carpenter.
Following are some of the useful tips, which you can keep in your mind when looking for a carpenter. These tips can provide an excellent assistance to you when finding the right carpenter out there in the world.
As the first thing, you need to look for a carpenter who has a lot of specific experience in the industry. This will increase your chances of getting the right person for your job. If the carpenter has more experience, you will be able to make sure that he is capable of getting the job done in an effective manner. In addition, the time taken to get the job done can also be reduced by a great extent.
Next, you need to take a look at the work carpenter has done in the past. It is better if you can ask for related experience that the carpenter has. This will help you to get a better understanding about the service that you will be able to receive from the carpenter at the end of the day as well.
When you ask for previous project references, the reputed carpenters will provide you with photos without keeping any doubts in mind. This will help you to make sure that the carpenter has maintained a solid reputation throughout the past by working on related projects. Then you can go through the photos and determine the quality of work offered. If you are expecting such quality in your work as well, you are encouraged to go ahead with a carpenter based on what you can find from his previous projects.
At the time of looking for a carpenter, you should also inquire about the materials that he is relying on. This is a step that you should not miss, especially if you want to hire a carpenter for a large-scale project. Flooring your home can be considered as a perfect example for such a large-scale project.
You should also ask the carpenter to provide you with the samples of materials that they are planning to use for your project. Then you can view the materials and determine whether they are quality enough to fit to your needs. For example, when you are working on a flooring project, the carpenter will provide you with solid oak flooring for a sample. Then you should analyse the forms, thickness, shapes and colours of the sample. This is the best method available for you to ensure that only the best quality materials are being used for your project.
Before you get the work of the carpenter, you need to ask for a detailed quotation. Most of the people who get carpentry services end up with unexpected surprises at the end of the day, when they are trying to settle the bills. Hence, you need to make sure that you don't end up with such consequences.
You must ask your carpenter to include all possible expenses in the detailed quotation. In other words, you need to see the material expenses and the labour expenses clearly in the quotation. In addition, the other associated expenses linked with the carpentry services, such as the cost of hiring scaffolding and waste disposal.
This will help you to have a clear understanding about the amount that you will have to pay for the carpentry services at the end of the project as well. Hence, you will be able to allocate money for it accordingly and keep peace of mind.
While looking for a carpenter, most of the people do the mistake of making the full payment upfront. You should never do that mistake. It has been identified that most of the people fail to get the service that they want from the carpenters by making the full payment upfront.
However, it is possible for you to make payments for the milestones of the project completed by the carpenter. This is an effective method available for you to keep peace of mind in the long run as well.
You must also ask about the professional connections that your carpenter would have. That's because most of the services that you get from your carpenter involve other related work. For example, you will need to get electric wiring or re-plastering services for the walls. If the carpenter can introduce reliable individuals to get those work done, you don't need to worry about getting them done on your own. You can simply ask the carpenter to get in touch with those professionals and help you with your project. This will help you to get your work done in a smooth manner as well.
Last but not least, you need to ask about the qualifications that your carpenter has. For example, some of the carpenters have obtained the membership of professional trade associations. This defines the standards of quality offered in the work of the carpenter. Hence, you need to ask about them. In addition, you need to get to know about what other training programs that the carpenter has took part in in the past as well.

GPA Midstream Convention Keynote Speaker Andrew Parker to address ESG
How to approach the expectations of ESG investors is a critical question for midstream energy companies and will be the subject of a keynote presentation from SPL's Dr. Andrew Parker at the upcoming 2022 GPA Midstream Convention.
"This is a conversation the oil and gas industry should not, and cannot, shy away from," Parker said. "But we also cannot let our message be hijacked by those who lack the expertise and credibility to effectively communicate our position. I hope the audience leaves my presentation with a deeper appreciation of the complexities surrounding climate change and the important role ESG programs can play in helping to reinvent the public perception of our industry."
Parker is Executive Vice President of Hydrocarbons and Sustainability with SPL, a leading provider of testing, inspection, and certification services for the energy industry. He has a B.A. in Geology from the University of Colorado-Boulder, and he earned a Ph.D. in Oceanography at Texas A&M University, where he studied paleoclimates of the last glacial period.
"I wasn't thinking about a career in the energy industry," Parker said. "But during an internship with Shell, I learned about how companies in the industry were already committed to reducing emissions and being better stewards of the environment."
Recognizing the alignment with his core values and professional ambitions, Parker moved from academia to the industry in 2015.
As chair of GPA Midstream's GHG Measurement and Abatement Committee, as well as membership in American Petroleum Institute's ESG Reporting Subcommittee, Parker is well-positioned to understand both the industry's accomplishments, and the challenges it faces in the years ahead.
"The energy industry in the United States is the standard when it comes producing hydrocarbons in an environmentally friendly manner," Parker said. "Now, we're being asked to be better than that standard. As usual, we will rise to the challenge."
"Climate change is quickly becoming the single most important consideration lawmakers are using to inform their policy decisions," Parker said. "It's critically important that as industry representatives we are equipped with the right information to address these concerns with our friends, family, elected officials and investors."
During his keynote session, Parker will delve into what ESG investors want to see from energy companies, and how using the ESG lens can help companies effectively communicate what they're doing to reduce emissions and increase efficiency and safety.
"I hope the audience leaves my presentation with a deeper appreciation of the complexities surrounding climate change and the important role ESG programs can play in helping reinvent the public perception of our industry," Parker said.
The 2022 GPA Midstream Convention, the association's premiere annual event, is set for Sept. 11-14 in San Antonio, Texas. The convention schedule is stocked with leading executives and thinkers to educate and inspire attendees on topics including international affairs, legislative and regulatory issues, safety, market information, operations, technical sessions and research.

Millions of galaxies are scattered across the cosmos. Lost among them, a world similar to ours develops in its own solar system. On Plaine, a highly developed planet-nation, the dawn reveals Onys, a young and daring archer. She emerges from sleep, short of breath, alerted by something heavy and dangerous lingering around her. An imperceptible but undeniable entity, defying the laws of physics, manifesting itself like a cloud of smoke, almost palpable. A presence whose mysterious nature would soon shake her perceptions of reality.
Great story, beautifully illustrated. Looking forward to Constellation!
Great story and illustration. Great work, can't wait for the next ones!!!


I recently came across Dosha Pops, all natural lollipops that are meant to promote healing based on the 5,000 year old Indian principles of Ayurveda. I was given a sample of the lollipops to try out and see what I thought of them.
From the Dosha Pops website, Ayurveda is "made up of two Sanskrit words: Ayu which means "life" and Veda which means "knowledge." Simply put, Ayurveda is the "knowledge of life." Over 5,000 years old, it started in India as a system of healing that provided guidance around food and lifestyle behaviors." There are three energies based on the five elements that are balanced within a person – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – and the lollipops are supposed to have healing properties based on which Dosha you are.
By filling out a form on the Dosha Pops website, you can learn which Dosha is prevalent within you and which pops are the most appropriate for you. The website told me that I was a Kapha and that I should eat more spicy foods and the like to maintain my balance. The information on the different Doshas also include recommendations on which pops to eat based on your Dosha.
The first pop I tried was the Head Over Hibiscus. According to their site, it is "Winey, tangy, and assertive, this sour lollipop delivers a sophisticated taste with lots of body." The pop lived up to their claims, being winey and tangy but not having the syrupy taste that I recall from lollipops (admittedly I haven't had a lollipop in a long time). It had a much lighter flavor due to the use of cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup and other related pseudo sugars.
The ingredients of the Dosha Pops are all natural, which give them their light flavor. The pops are a mix of cane sugar, tea, and other ingredients. Each of the individual pops on the website show their exact ingredients and their health properties, so I won't list all of them here. The website does not list calories or any other nutritional information, but it isn't as bad as refined sugars and the other things one normally finds in candy.
The Dosha Pops are a healthy, sweet snack that I really enjoyed. Although I haven't tried all the different flavors yet – or even all the flavors for Kapha yet – I look forward to it. Dosha Pops are definitely the kind of snack I could keep around for those afternoons when I really need some sugar to keep me going.

Daniel Ozmo (Olovo, 1912. március 14. – Jasenovaci koncentrációs tábor, 1942. szeptember 5.) zsidó származású bosznia-hercegovinai festőművész.

Élete és munkássága
Daniel Ozmo szegény zsidó családban született Olovoban, gyermek- és ifjúkorát Szarajevóban töltötte. 1934-ben végzett a belgrádi művészeti főiskolán, Ljubo Ivanović osztályában. Ezután rövid ideig tanárként dolgozott Szarajevóban az 1-es számú gimnáziumban. Fiatal festőtársaival megalapította a "Mladost" festőcsoportot. Az 1934-es diploma megszerzésétől 1941-es letartóztatásáig és 1942-ben a jasenovaci táborban történt haláláig eredeti hivatását háttérbe szorítva szobrászattal, rajzzal, festészettel és grafikával foglalkozott, amely rövid alkotói élete második felében már fő elfoglaltságává vált. Olajjal és akvarellel dolgozott, és linómetszetű képeket készített a boszniai erdőkről, de lerajzolta a jasenovaci táborlakókat is. Műveinek nagy része eltűnt vagy megsemmisült. Csak pár olaj és néhány akvarell maradt meg, amiből arra lehet következtetni, hogy a költői realizmus stílusában festett. Szobrászattal is foglalkozott. A második világháború előtt Szarajevóban a művészet iránt elkötelezett társadalmi élet főszereplője volt. 1941-ben letartóztatták, és a jasenovaci táborba deportálták, ahol "lázító hírek terjesztése" ürügyén kivégezték. Ozmo Vojo Dimitrijević, Ismet Mujezinović, Roman Petrović és Mica Todorović mellett az egyik legjelentősebb boszniai-hercegovinai képzőművész volt.

Fő témája a munkásélet volt, ahol a munkafolyamat különböző szakaszait, magukat a munkásokat és a munkahelyeket, gyárakat, fűrésztelepeket ábrázolta. Motívumai és témái közvetlenül az életből származnak. Jajcén, Olovoban és a környező erdőkben követte a munkásokat, és velük lakott. Megrajzolta a kunyhóikat, ahol fapadokon alszanak, részt vett a fakivágásban, rönkszállításban, követte és rögzítette a fűrésztelepi munkát. Az erdei munkások élete iránti érdeklődése kezdetben az égető kemencéknél dolgozókéhoz volt hasonló volt, aztán kiterjedtségével és az Ozmo formálta különciklusként végül ez a téma került fokozatosan előtérbe, melyet 1939-ben teljességével "Iz bosanskih šuma" címmel publikált. Ez a téma ekkor jelenik meg először így kidolgozva, Ozmo számára pedig életművének és rövid életének megkoronázását jelentette. Kiadásával Ozmo művészként és haladó értelmiségiként formálta a gondolkodást és a kifejezésmódot. 1937-ig készült "Önarcképe" Bosznia-Hercegovinában ennek az időszaknak a talán legjobb grafikai teljesítménye. Rajta mutatta be, hogy hogyan tudja kifejezni, formálni az emberi alakot, egyéni értékeit, hogyan valósította meg egyedi módon, ilyen egyszerű formában a plasztikus, szobrászati és grafikai elemek kombinációját. Önarcképét az akkori grafikai és művészeti törekvések mintájává, alakját pedig a szenvedés következő napjainak, éveinek jelképévé és előérzetévé varázsolta.

" All I can say is that for the dozen times I have used Manassas Cab Co over the years they have never disappointed me. "


That special role where spoiling of the grandchild is accepted greatly and not viewed as favouring. Wisdom can be embarked happily, and eventually accepted happily. THIS child CAN be given back. And I think what I obviously can't identify with, but feel heartily with is that… this child came from your child. It's special enough to have children, but to have your children have children and watch them grow up. Pure Magic. Richard and Sharon are proud Grandparents for the first time to little Theo. Just see how they look at him. Theo is a delicate bundle of joy to them. Its evident!
Theo felt so at ease in his Gramps arms, I reckon they are going to have a special bond. They already do!
Theo's almost staring down the camera saying "He's my Gramps! Mine!!!!!". I know Theo, you can have him! Can I be friends with him at least?
My Mum and Dad have been friends with Sharon and Richard since they moved to New Zealand somewhat 25, 26 years ago. I grew up with Theo's Uncle Marc from the very first breath I took. Lisa, Theo's Mum tells me she reckons Theo and Marc look alike at this age… I wonder if Marc's mischievous ways are en-grained in Theo too. If so…. he's got some fun and interesting years ahead of him.. and perhaps he'll find someone to share the fun and mischievous games with as they grow. Because I can tell you now… there will be stories to tell!
Beautiful. The mischief is still in Richard. I love it!
To be able to do what I do is a miracle. I may not be able to diagnose an illness, perform heart surgery or make a difference in Africa (yes that is thinking big) . But to capture the moments between generations, between new love, developing love, grown up love, new life, the life lived and everything in between is nothing short of a blessing. And I love it every single day. Thank you to the people who want it and allow me to do so. Including The Clark Family and my Mum and Dad's dear old friends up above.

Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, West Bengal
One of the USP of Darjeeling tourism is the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, commonly known as the Toy Train. The zigzag elevating tracks through the slope of the mountain and sight bending circle loops around the cascades & forests of the Himalayas make this narrow gauge railway, from the olden days, one of the people's favourite holiday destinations from all over the world. The Darjeeling itself is very beautiful and in tow have many scenic sightseeing spots and special attractions.
The construction of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway was initiated under the order of the British Monarchy during the British Colonial Rule in India. Prior to 1879, the only way to connect the city of Siliguri to Darjeeling was by through Tonga route on cart road. Between 1879 to 1881 under the supervision of the Governor of Bengal Sir Ashley Eden and the works of Franklin Prestage the steam railway of 88 KM length from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling was built. The railway was inaugurated by the then Viceroy Lord Lytton.
The narrow gauge is built with zigzag and loop technology for better operating of the engine on the mountain slope. The railway has many stations that are almost as serene and majestic as paradise. Tung, Ghum, Mirik, Kurseong and many others are stations on this track. Ghum is India's highest railway station and Kurseong is the headquarters of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. Batasia Loop is one of the greatest tourist location and recreational spot on this track looping almost 5 KM.
UNESCO has certified The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway as a World Heritage Site and along with other two mountain rail routes named and famous as the Mountain Railways of India. This is without a doubt the best tourist attraction for any traveller.

First of all, I want to explain my silence.
I was in a car accident two weeks ago.
and finally, three weeks later, I have wheels again.
And life is starting to return to normal.
You may recall my list of "2012 Dreams."
The Help by Katherine Stockett.
even fiction inspired by the movement.
The general plot is that a young, aspiring writer, Miss Skeeter, moves back to Jackson, Mississippi, after graduating from Ole Miss. She applies for a job at Harper & Row that she is not qualified for in any way. One editor admires her blind self-confidence and gives her an opportunity to write one book. After pitching many droll ideas, she suggests interviewing some maids around town to tell their story of what it is like working for white people.
I have seen many criticisms of this book/movie because it was written by a white woman about a white woman "saving" black women from her racist neighbors. While I understand this critique of the book and I giggle slightly at the satirical poster above, I do not believe that was the heart of the author in any shape or form.
It is about unlikely women coming together to do something good and creating a beautiful friendship in the process.
"We are just two people. Not that much separates us.
Not nearly as much as I thought."
I believe everyone needs to learn that lesson, even today.
Friendship can come in the most unlikely packages.
and have courage to do the right thing every day.
We are all just people after all.
What did you think about the book/movie?
Love your thoughts Bethany? Did you see the movie?
I'm so glad you are ok! I saw your new wheels but I didn't know why! Secondly, I've been wanting to read that book and I think you've convinced me. Love you lots. Miss you more. Skype date?

Q: Check If existing doesn't work after sort My mongoDB findOne which was working before because it was responsible for checking if an email exist in my database, but as soon i added the .sort to it, it throws an error UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'email' of null at User.findOne.sort.then.user But if i remove the sort, it will work again including the email do exist validation.
Here is the code
router.post('/register', (req, res) => {

Florida public university officials urge vaccinations, masks on campus ahead of spring semester
By Ryan Dailey
Coronavirus in Florida
The News Service of Florida
Demand for tests, cases of COVID-19 high in Florida
Florida is dealing with another wave of COVID-19 infections, but health experts say it still appears the omicron variant causes less severe illness, which is good news for hospitals.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Saying it is "clear the pandemic is not over," top Florida university system officials are asking students and employees to wear masks on campus and get booster shots to protect against COVID-19 as the spring semester prepares to start.
State university system Board of Governors Chairman Syd Kitson and system Chancellor Marshall Criser made the request in a letter to students, faculty and staff posted Wednesday on the board's website.
"The best way to lessen the impact of COVID-19 on our campuses and our communities is to protect yourself, your family and your friends every day by following the recommended precautions, including wearing masks, testing when necessary and getting fully vaccinated, including a booster, if you are able to do so," the letter said.
The spring semester starts next week amid a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations driven, at least in part, by the highly-contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus.
RELATED: Researchers say COVID surge expected in Florida, peaking in February
Faculty union leaders at the University of Florida have asked school President Kent Fuchs to allow classes to be held online early in the semester.
"In order to mitigate the spread of COVID, UFF (the United Faculty of Florida) asks that our campus begin the spring semester in a remote, online posture in terms of classroom delivery and work assignments for the first three weeks of the term to assess the proper next steps to take — as it appears that the omicron variant may escalate later in January," Paul Ortiz, a history professor and president of the university's faculty union, wrote in an email to Fuchs on Tuesday. "The added benefit of this approach is that we know from experience that classes offered in a remote modality are more family-friendly and accessible to students who have jobs, childcare or eldercare responsibilities."
Fuchs responded Wednesday to Ortiz, writing in an email that he will "let the bargaining team respond to items specifically from the union."
But Kitson and Criser in their letter promised in-person learning will continue on all university campuses.
"Looking ahead to the spring semester, you can expect all 12 of our state universities to continue to offer a comprehensive array of academic classes and degree programs and that facilities will be fully utilized based on the academic and extracurricular needs of each institution," the letter said.
RELATED: Florida surgeon general accuses White House of 'actively preventing' distribution of antibody treatments
Ortiz also asked that Fuchs require masks on the University of Florida campus. The university system has kept an optional mask policy throughout the pandemic, preventing universities from mandating face coverings but allowing schools to recommend masks and vaccines for people on campus.
Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state Republican leaders have objected to vaccination and mask mandates in a variety of settings during the pandemic.
"While we recognize that our university has been under intense external pressures not to implement masking and vaccine mandates, I nonetheless request that you consider requiring the wearing of N95 masks on campus, mandatory COVID testing as well as an aggressive campaign to ensure that all campus community members are vaccinated as soon as possible," Ortiz wrote.
Universities moved courses online and shut down campuses in March 2020 as the pandemic hit the state. But ahead of the current school year, the Board of Governors announced plans for normal "pre-pandemic" operations for all universities.
RELATED: Enrollment at Florida colleges continues to shrink
"The State University System of Florida is pleased to announce that all 12 public universities expect to increase classroom occupancy to pre-COVID capacity by the 2021-22 academic year and return to pre-COVID operations," the Board of Governors said in a May 5 news release. "Further, we anticipate returning to full in-person participation in athletic and social activities on our campuses, including fan participation in stadiums and arenas."
The letter Wednesday from Kitson and Criser did not address athletic and social activities heading into the spring semester.

Rock-A-Thon 2019: Post Thoughts
Rock-A-Thon 2019 has come to an end, and with that comes many emotions. Throughout the weekend tears of joy were brought to my eyes multiple times. Seeing this years Rock-A-Thon being so successful was like a dream come true.
With your help and the support of many local businesses, we fundraised more than $27,000 during Rock-A-Thon itself and the months leading up to it. I'm so proud of how the entire station came together and worked to reach this number, and I'm unbelievably thankful for our community supporting us.
I'm so sad it's over, but so happy it happened. WLTL means so much to over a hundred student who are involved in radio, and so much to the community as a whole. It's so many students creative outlets- it's a way for freshman to meet people who become their best friends, it's a place to talk sports, politics, and music, but above anything else it's a place where no idea is too large. We have opportunities for everyone and anyone to create something they would never have the chance to without WLTL.
Whether its a podcast, a comedy skit, or a music show there's always someone working to make our station the best it can be. It's really no wonder students will stay involved in radio for all four years of high school, and many also carry WLTL into their professional careers. At the station we really are a family. We are incredibly lucky to even have a radio station at LT, especially one so supported by the entire community.
If you told any of the freshman involved in radio that eventually it would feel like a second home they'd laugh. But that's because the have no idea how important it will eventually be to them. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for WLTL, and with the support of Rock-A-Thon and the entire community i'm sure it'll go on to do amazing things.
Why WLTL Matters to Me...
I didn't expect to want to spend so much time in the North Campus basement. I never intended on rounding the corner everyday, looking at the blue call letters blaring at me from across the hall. And yet, WLTL has become more than just a club or job to me.
I've never been around so many impressive people. Everyone loves what they do and wants to contribute in any way they can. Sports aficionados, music lovers, and political nerds all gather under the same umbrella, and what they create is the truly incredible part. Having survived over 50 years and seen thousands of students enter through its doors, WLTL evolves, bringing a dying medium to a generation of new innovators. The kids involved are bright-eyed and fearlessly themselves, and the unconventional work environment only fuels their creativity.
What really allows students to make such great work, however, are the resources allotted. There's constant exposure to new music, with record companies sending us songs and albums on a weekly basis. Anyone wanting to dabble in sports talk has a chance to call one of the many games broadcast, or join a well-prepared and well-represented sports talk show. Three production rooms allow us to knock out any and all pre-recorded content as well as providing podcasting space. Anything imaginable is possible because of what we have at the station.
With so many possibilities and an influx of great people, I've thrived in this environment. I entered as a shy, nervous freshman, but now as a senior, I can honestly say I wouldn't be the person I am without radio. I'm confident in myself, my ideas, and my relationships. It's fueled my want to learn in new ways, giving me access to technology and mediums I wouldn't have ever considered. I have a space where talking is encouraged and freedom is given to get work done. I've made incredible friends who push me to do what I love and to be who I want to be.
This creepy, corner basement classroom is incredibly important to me. It's encouraged me to work individually, learn new routes, try different things. I've grown up in within the station's walls and I've become someone I've always wanted to be.
Thanks WLTL. You're definitely more than just radio.

How Can You Listen to WLTL? Let me count the ways...
Back when we started 50 years ago in 1968 the only way to listen to WLTL was to tune us in on the radio at 88.3 FM. Today, not only do you tune us in at 88.1 FM instead, you can also find us on a variety of different platforms and mediums. Check out all of your options below!
FM Dial
Of course the original is still the best right? Within about 7-10 miles of LT's North Campus you can tune us in at 88.1 FM.
You're already here, so if you wanted to stream us online I mean all you'd have to do is click right here to start that up (relax, it will open in a new window so you can keep reading).
There is an app for everything these days, including WLTL! It doesn't matter if you're an Apple or Android user, just search WLTL in your phones app store to find our free download.
Alexa App (Skill)
Do you have an Amazon Alexa at home? All you have to do to listen is enable the Alexa Skill for WLTL then say "Alexa, play WLTL". Simple enough right?
Radio FX
This national platform hosts a variety of college and high school radio stations all in one place. The coolest part? There are only about five high school stations on the app. That's good company!
With Tune-In Radio, you can listen to WLTL on their phone app, on their webpage, or through most smart speakers just by asking "Play WLTL"
Since 1968 WLTL has strived to be you first choice for music, sports, news and entertainment. However you choose to listen to us, we're glad you're here.


Hello Ollie, I hope you are doing well in Bristol now. Looking forward to hearing new sounds – good luck with that. Vladimir.
Hey Ollie – ah, very lucky to be in Bristol. I spent a fortnight there a couple of years ago for a printmaking conference. I have fond memories of its central market places, canals and dockyards, Banksy's artwork … so much more. I'm sure you'll have a lot of new sonic material to play with.
I hope all is well with the both of you!

The Mediterranean Diet Charter of Values
This lesson will discuss the Charter of Values for the Mediterranean Diet.
The Charter of Values is composed of two parts. The first part defines the Mediterranean Diet and addresses why it must be protected, while the second part is concerned with the 'pledge' or commitments which must be upheld by those who sign the charter.
The nomination for the Mediterranean Diet to be formally recognized and protected by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage resulted from the collective effort of the countries of Italy, Spain, Greece and Morocco. The nomination was successful and UNESCO accepted the Mediterranean Diet as Intangible Cultural Heritage, pronouncing it 'a set of skills, knowledge, rituals and traditions that encompasses every step from the fields to the table'. On December 4, 2013, the list of countries that officially represent the Mediterranean Diet was expanded to include Portugal, Cypress and Croatia, further emphasizing the importance of the diverse cultural dimensions of the Mediterranean Diet and lifestyle.
Upon UNESCO's acceptance of the Mediterranean Diet, Italy, being a fundamental country for the Mediterranean Diet, immediately designed and enacted various measures aimed at safeguarding the Diet nationally and internationally. The Mediterranean Diet is an invaluable model not just in cultural and nutritional terms, but in environmental terms: it represents a sustainable way of producing food with minimal impact on the environment.
Each nation that UNESCO has recognized as representing the Mediterranean Diet must develop a plan of action in order to ensure that the diverse aspects of the Mediterranean Diet are passed on to younger generations, and to promote awareness of the Diet's benefits and defining characteristics.
In order for it to survive and thrive in the future, the Mediterranean Diet must be protected and promoted, using the guiding principles outlined by UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage program and lead by the communities that represent the Diet, research centers and institutions, regional authorities and citizens in compliance with national and international regulations.
The second part of the Charter addresses the commitments that must be made by those who sign the Charter. The most fundamental commitment of participants who sign the Charter is to recognize the Mediterranean Diet as cultural heritage, to recognize the value of the Mediterranean Diet and recognize the fundamental role of the Emblematic Communities (communities selected to be the 'face' of the Mediterranean Diet and spearhead efforts to safeguard it) and support them.
Participants should also actively value and take advantage of the Angelo Vassallo Center for Studies of the Mediterranean Diet, which is not only a research center but also provides important training to citizens.
Participants should promote the cultural aspects of the Mediterranean Diet within the population as a whole but with particular focus on educating and involving the younger generations.
Participants should actively engage in events and activities in the realm of nutritional education, sustainable development, cultural material etc pertaining to the Mediterranean Diet.
Participants who sign the charter must collaborate annually with the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies, informing it of planned and already enacted safeguarding measures, as well as report any misconduct or exploitation of the Mediterranean Diet for commercial gains.
Finally, participants must follow any and all indications put forth by UNESCO regarding the use of the UNESCO logo and acronym.

LACKAWANNA, N.Y. (WKBW) — David Kersten, the CEO of Our Lady of Victory Homes of Charity, stands in Our Lady of Victory National Shrine and Basilica in Lackawanna. He thinks about the fire that tore through Notre Dame in Paris.
Two years ago, during Holy Week, Kersten was in Notre Dame.
"You know it's going to take a long time to sort this out. Hopefully, they can preserve many of the things that were damaged," said Kersten.
For Kersten, and the rest of OLV, Notre Dame is extra special. While the Basilica isn't a copy of Notre Dame, it was designed to provide a similar feel.
"It's meant to inspire and to lift people's hearts and minds upward to heaven and recognize that this earthly life is but a stepping stone to be with our ultimate reward, to be with God in heaven," said Kersten.
The Basilica was finished in 1925. It cost $4 million. It was built after the St. Patrick's Parish burned in 1916. Father Nelson Baker wanted to build a church that rivaled those in Europe.
"Father Baker himself was inspired by a visit to Paris," said Kersten.
This grand Western New York shrine rose from the ashes. Now, its caretakers, know Notre Dame will rise again.


Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales introduces readers to several fascinating and dynamic characters. Perhaps the most fascinating of all is the Pardoner, whose prologue and tale are filled with irony. The Pardoner is a complex character whose blatant hypocrisy and spiritual atrophy serve to give the reader an understanding of the irony of his tale and his situation, as well as a glimpse into his inner self.
