AAAS AMA: Hi, we're scientists from NOAA and research universities who analyze the sources of pollution and recently published a study in Science Magazine. Ask us anything!
AAAS-AMA
As transportation emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have decreased due to stricter controls on air pollution, the relative importance of chemical products such as pesticides, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, cleaning agents, and personal care products has increased correspondingly. In a recent study we published in Science Magazine, we show that these volatile chemical products now contribute fully one half of emitted VOCs from petrochemical sources in Los Angeles. We hope these results will spur additional research and inform decisions about mitigating sources of ground-level ozone, fine particulate pollution, and air toxics. If you want to know more about how paints, pesticides, and perfumes contribute to pollution - ask us anything!
Dr. Brian McDonald is an atmospheric scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder who works at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and whose expertise is on air quality models and emission inventories
Dr. Chris Cappa is a professor at the University of California, Davis in the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, whose work centers on the sources, fate and impacts of small particles in the atmosphere
Dr. Jessica Gilman is a Research Chemist at NOAA and specializes in the measurement and chemistry of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere.
Dr. Joost de Gouw is a senior research scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. His expertise is in the sources and transformations of organic compounds in the atmosphere.
If you were able to instantly ban a single process or chemical from being used in order to improve air quality which would it be a why?
wilkins1952
(CC): That's difficult to answer, since we know that there are many different sources of pollution to the atmosphere. We know that combustion is a major source of pollution to the atmosphere, both of chemicals that are important to urban air quality and of chemicals like CO2 that are contributing to modern climate change. But there are also lots of small sources of pollutants that, when added together, contribute greatly to air pollution. So, it's really difficult to pick just one.
Are all perfumes and scented body products the same with regards to environmental impact? If I wanted to be more environmentally ethical in my personal scent choices, is there something I should look for?
firedrops
(CC) What we know is that each chemical product (including perfumes and scented body products) will have a unique fingerprint, i.e. a mix of specific chemicals. The environmental impacts will depend on what that exact mix is. It is difficult at this point to point towards something specific to look for. So, one might just think about minimizing the amount of these types of products that you use rather than trying to choose between products. Beyond impacts of these emissions on air quality, there are also considerations associated with people who have particular sensitivities to scented products. So, limiting use can have multiple benefits.
JdG: There are likely differences as different chemical compounds in these products react differently in the atmosphere. For you as a consumer, the information to make informed decisions between products is not there at the moment.
What not insignificant source of ground-level pollution do you think would most surprise your average person?
adenovato
BM: It was surprising to us that VOCs emitted from the use of personal care products (e.g., hair spray, shampoos, deodorants, creams, lotions, etc.) were similar to the amount from cars in Los Angeles. VOCs contribute to a variety of air quality issues, including the two main building blocks of smog: ground-level ozone and fine particles.
Jessica Gilman (JG-NOAA) here. I am always surprised by the complexity of different emission sources. In addition to personal care products, another urban source that many people may not realize is a significant source of both volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) is from small two-stroke engines such as a lawnmower. These often do not have the emission control technologies that modern vehicles do. Also, the cut-grass smell (which I really like) is also composed of VOCs.
As someone who is launching an environmentally-responsible printing company, what are some key things I can do to reduce my footprint? We're using as much 100% PCW stock as possible and are switching to vegetable-based inks - we also plant a tree for every order placed. I'm not interested in offsetting our footprint alone, but more so in reducing the impact of it as much as possible - am I simply in the wrong industry or is having mindsets like mine important to encouraging a paradigm shift in mentality across the industry?
Thank you in advance! My mother works with Universities across the world in the fields of waste management and environmental impact but her expertise doesn't cover inks, solvents and coatings - mainly heavy metals and biowaste.
BM: First, I want to commend you for thinking about how to reduce the environmental impact of your company. Using printing inks with less VOCs could be one possible way to reduce air quality impacts. Other possibilities include the use emissions control devices, such as catalytic converters, to remove the VOCs before they enter the outdoor environment.
Hi, thanks for doing this AMA! My question is: How did you all come to work for NOAA? Any tips for a recent college grad hoping to work there some day? :P
PhrosstBite
(CC): Good question. All of us answering these questions first received our PhD degrees before working at NOAA, and during our graduate studies focused on atmospheric chemisty and air pollution engineering. So, that's of course one path, albeit a long one. But there are lots of other pathways, including things like NRC fellowships.
JG-NOAA here. This is a great question that I wanted to add to. Probably the best way is to directly contact the scientist or office that you are interested in joining. For undergraduates, I would also highly recommend applying for the Hollings Scholarship. Many of the NOAA labs have cooperative institutes such as CIRES and other Cooperative Institutes that offer graduate scholarships. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Globally we flare and vent over 14 billion cubic feet of gas everyday. Have you looked at the pollution emitted from Gris poor practice to deal with waste gases in the oil and gas industry? VOC's, particulates, HAP's, methane, etc.
Industry is allowed to assume a flare combusts at 98% efficiency but any one that has looked at a black smoky flare would be hard pressed to find that assumption valid. Since methane comprises the majority of the waste gas and is 86x worse than CO2 from a GHG perspective, I believe this is the worlds greatest opportunity to reduce emissions and have a significant impact on air pollution.
AMascarenhas1
JdG: Yes, in fact we are doing a lot of work to quantify the emissions associated with oil and gas production as well. For example, in an earlier study in Colorado we reported that a large fraction of hydrocarbons came from oil and gas production: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es304119a In Los Angeles, such emissions are relatively less important though not negligible.
Hello, JG-NOAA here. We have been measuring the emissions from oil and natural gas development. We recently completed the NOAA Shale Oil and Natural Gas Nexus study SONGNEX. In the McDonald et al. study, 30% of the fossil-VOCs were attributed to "upstream emissions" from the production of oil and gas, 20% was from gasoline and diesel fuel use and ~50% from the use of volatile chemical products. Methane was not included in this study, but it is an important greenhouse gas. Thank you for your question.
In the end, does it actually produce less pollution to drive an electric vehicle given the fossil fuel inputs to generate that electricity?
benspaperclip
(CC) Overall, yes. But the exact benefits today do depend on where you live because different regions have different mixes of energy sources: see the Union of Concerned Scientists for example. You can imagine that as energy production becomes even less carbon intensive over time that the benefits of EVs will grow.
Interested in conservation and environmental protection in the D.C. Area. Graduated with a degree in marine biology, and currently working as a long term substitute teacher. What's the best way to break into the field? I keep getting rejected from the jobs I'm really passionate about
dromalio
(CC) It's great to hear about your passion for the environment. Don't get discouraged! I often suggest that you ask friends/family to help with things like looking over resumes, mock interviews, etc. Otherwise, just keep at it...
Are there any pesticides in use that should currently be replaced by a less harmful one?
This is a little off-topic: What are some techniques that we could use for earth to absorb slightly less heat from the sun?
StopHelpingMe
(CC): I can't speak to your first question, but as to the second the key thing we can do is to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases!
Is it true when tap water becomes airborne it creates VOCs? Thanks!
JG-NOAA here. Yes, there are VOCs that are water soluble (dissolved in water) including oxygenated VOCs like ethanol. It's very difficult to get truly VOC-free water, but small amounts of VOCs in water are generally not harmful. When water is heated and/or aerosolized like it is in the shower, it is much easier for any dissolved VOCs to evaporate into the atmosphere. Thanks for your questions!
Do you view Bill Nye as a valid scientist?
DontLetYourslefDoIt
JG here. I do view Nye as a scientist and a communicator. I'm currently listening to his book "Unstoppable" and like it so far. I think it is important to improve science communication and get information to wider audiences and Nye is doing just that.
Would you recommend not using cologne, hair spray, spray paint?
japosey
(CC) Our work definitely suggests that reducing the emissions from these types of sources would have tangible benefits for air quality. And certainly one way to reduce emissions is to reduce use.
Thank you for the AMA.
What effect, if any, does airborne pollution have on rain fall. Do pollutants contribute to or interfere with nucleation? Has there been any measurable increase or decrease in rain fall in areas with increasing pollution.
lukevanin
(CC) Every cloud droplet, which turn into rain drops, forms on a small, airborne particle. When there is more pollution, meaning more particles, around a cloud will typically end up with more cloud droplets that are smaller than if there were less particle pollution. Sometimes this can lead to more rainfall, but sometimes less. The exact behavior depends on the atmospheric conditions, and how many particles there are in the first place. And, to make things even more complicated, it can actually be very difficult for water to freeze in the atmosphere. Water can remain liquid to well below zero degrees C. But, very special particles--called ice nucleating particles--can help to make water freeze. Sometimes, freezing of water (aka snow!) can help to turn a cloud that wouldn't precipitate into one that will. So, overall the impact of particles on rainfall is variable and depends on lots of factors.
Thank you for doing an AMA!
Is there a significant difference in pollution amounts from paints applied via a sprayer versus a brush or roller? Are there types of paint that are safer to use than others? Painting is a significant part of my job, so I want to know how I can minimize my impact.
ttyphoon
BM: In general, an aerosolized application of paint will more efficiently spray VOCs into the air than brushing or rolling. This means that indoor levels of VOCs can reach high concentrations before dissipating. However, a high fraction of VOCs in non-aerosol paints also emits following paint application over hours to months, and will get into the outdoor air. Regulatory efforts have also tried to remove VOCs (e.g., low-VOC paints), so the paint formulations have been evolving. In short, atmospheric scientists still have a lot more to learn about the air quality impacts of different types of paint formulations, especially as it relates to the formation of fine particles that could impact human health.

Fake Shops Hide Northern Ireland's Struggling Economy Ahead Of G8 Summit (PHOTOS)
By Harry Bradford
A pedestrian walks pass stickers applied to the windows of a former butcher?s shop in Belcoo, Northern Ireland, outside Enniskillen on June 1, 2013. The stickers give the premises the superficial appearance of a open business. More than 100 properties within range of the Lough Erne resort which hosts the G8 Summit have been tidied up, painted or power-hosed. Britain is hosting this year's summit on June 17-18.

City councils are attempting to hide the level of economic decay suffered in some Northern Ireland towns by painting fake storefronts on closed-down businesses in anticipation of the G8 economic summit this month.
Around 300,000 pounds of government funds have been invested on sprucing up more than 100 properties in the Northern Ireland county of Fermanagh, which will host the international G8 economic summit June 17-18, The Irish Times reports. Closed storefronts have been painted to resemble working stores, complete with doors that appear open but don't function and two-dimensional goods hanging from the windows, all in an effort to hide the dereliction caused by the economic struggles of the past few years, according to the Irish Times.
"We want to present the county as best as we can and promote it in terms of industry and tourism," local Council Chief Executive Brendan Hegarty told The Irish Times, calling the project a "phenomenal opportunity."
But some locals view the superficial efforts as a wasteful attempt to hide real economic struggles. This particular area in Northern Ireland suffers higher child poverty rates than the rest of the country, ThinkProgress reports. Meanwhile, lost jobs and failed businesses in the fallout from the global financial crisis are recovering at a glacial pace -- economic growth in Northern Ireland is expected to remain under 0.5 percent through 2014, Belfast Telegraph reports.
"No one is fooled," Phil Flanagan, a former owner of a closed butcher shop which has now been papered over to appear as if it's still thriving, told The Telegrpah. "It is like when your mother-in-law is coming to visit and you give the house a tidy up."
Indeed, such attempts to hide harsh economic realities aren't new. In 2010, the U.K. town of North Tyneside painted nearly an entire street with decoy storefronts to hide the effects of recession, the BBC reports.
But not everyone in County Fermanagh views the fake shops negatively. The project has provided a much needed stimulus in the form of jobs for painters and construction workers, according to the BBC.
"The town looks fantastic, it's a good excuse for people to get doing work," one painter said.

A: The cause of your OutOfMemoryError exception is because you are setting a large bitmap as the source for an ImageView inside of the xml layout 'activity_radio.xml'. When the layout is being inflated in your Activity/Fragment the ImageView is attempting to load the 'src' image in its full size in memory, which may not seem to large but the system may not have the proper memory to accommodate it.
What you want to do to fix this problem is to remove inside of your xml code, that sets the image and instead load the image on demand inside of your activity/fragment in a scaled down/up to properly fit your devices configuration.
Here is a link to an article on the Android developers site that discusses properly loaded a scaled bitmap. Remember you want to handle loading and scaling the bitmap in a background thread to not block your UI thread otherwise you'll get another exception.

On a couple of occasions I became aware that I was rushing about but I caught myself and slowed down. I balanced myself. Robert arrived and, although I could not welcome him as I would have liked, I did manage to make him a cup of tea as well as find all the tools and screws which Sunil needed as he finished off the work for the day. In their feedback at the end of the day the others told me I am calm, reliable, supportive and welcoming. This is good feedback and perhaps the best thing about it is that I can see it too. I am owning what I do and who I am.
Kuldip in his summary of the day, struggled to recall what had happened and began by making it up. When Karaj challenged him he admitted that what he was saying was false. This is a common trait of Kuldip's and it made me think. It was as if he had been given notes to revise for today's exam question but when the time came he had either forgotten what he'd revised or he hadn't revised in the first place – hence the lies. The problem was that this was not an exam, and there was no need to revise for it. All that was being asked of him was to give his account of his day. I am continually amazed by his inability to recall any details of experiences with which he has been personally involved. He cannot remember what he has done. But then he forgets most of what people say to him as well so I shouldn't be too surprised.

In an exclusive interview with Gazzetta Dello Sport, former Inter great Walter Samuel discussed the current state of the Argentine national team and this weekend's Derby di Milano.
The Argentine was a key man in the Nerazzurri's treble-winning side of 2010, and he spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport about this weekend's derby.
"The table says Inter will win, but there are no favourites in a derby," Samuel pointed out.
"It's not decisive, but it's fundamental. I'd be lying if I said it was a game like the others. The truth is that it's worth at least a month in the league, one way or the other.
"Inter? If a team takes a lot of points, it's not a coincidence. The truth is that the results allow you to play badly, because they give you time to calmly work on the quality of your play.
"As for Milan, there's the usual hurry, I've read that [Coach Vincenzo] Montella is already under pressure.
Samuel was then asked whether it's harder to play the Derby della Madonnina or a South American World Cup qualifier.
"Are you joking? The CONMEBOL games by a long way. Firstly in Milan the opposing fans go to the game together, incidents of violence are rare.
The former defender was then asked if he sees anyone with his qualities in either side.
"I like [Mateo] Musacchio at Milan, but if I have to choose someone who's like me, I'd take Skriniar.
"People already spoke well to me about him at Sampdoria, he just has to continue his growth without being distracted by anything.
Samuel also named one Serie A defender he'd like to play for Argentina.
"I'd only be calm if we had someone like [Andrea] Barzagli at the back. He's my ideal defender: solid, careful, never out of position.


GRANVILLE, Ohio – In a matchup in the top two teams in Division III, No. 1 Denison men's swimming and diving raced to a 188.5-109.5 over No. 2 Kenyon College on Saturday afternoon at the Trumbull Aquatic Center in Granville, Ohio.
Led by 11 victories and three total wins for sophomore Drake Horton, the Big Red opened with wins in the first three events of the day, highlighted by Horton, Brett Weicht, Tiernan Foster-Smith, and Carson Clear teaming up to win the 200 medley relay in 1:32.18.
Horton also went on to win the 200 free and 100 free, logging a 46.67 in the 100, and a season-best 1:42.43 in the 200. Senior Ryan Stevenson followed in third in the 200 with a season-low time of 1:43.2, while Nicholas Czepukaitis landed in fourth with a 1:44.99. Stevenson also captured a victory in the 200 breaststroke after clocking in at 2:09.10.
Leading DU in the distance events was senior Matt Hedman who garnered a pair of victories in the 1,000 and 500 free events. In the 1,000, Hedman posted his best time of the season while clocking in at 9:24.20 for a first-place finish, and then logged a 4:35.04 to win the 500. He was followed in both events by Dayen Wilson, who hit the wall at 9:39.52 in the 1,000 (2nd) and finished the 500 in 4:42.98 (3rd).
Junior Bebe Wang was the final Denison swimmer to post multiple victories on the day. In the 200 IM, Wang won the event after checking in with a season-best 1:54.26. Trailing Wang by less than two seconds was sophomore John Stauffer who finished in third with a PR time of 1:56.14, and Hedman followed in fourth at 1:56.37.
Wang also won the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:50.30, and finished in second in the 100 backstroke after logging at 51.83. Sam Jo followed in both events, placing second in the 200 (1:52.61) and third in the 100 (52.31).
Denison ended the day with three more victories, led by a season-best time from Mitch Williams in the 200 butterfly at 1:51.75. Freshman Noah Houskeeper followed in second at 1:52.14 and Matt Reed in fourth (1:54.57).
Foster-Smith garnered the win in the 100 breaststroke with a final time of 57.11, while senior Kenny Fox trailed in second with a season-best 58.71, and Sam O'Malley did the same in the third place with a 59.29.
Kymani Senior rounded out the individual victories after clocking in at 21.27 to win the 50 free. Matt McHugh finished 0.10 seconds behind Senior in second place with a season-low 21.37, and Christien Kelly landed in a tie for fourth at 21.54.
The Big Red also placed three in the top five of the 100 butterfly, headlined by Colin MacMillan in second with a 50.77 and Fox in third at 50.87. Houskeeper placed fifth with a 51.10.
On the diving boards, freshman Liam Simmons paced DU with a pair of second-place finishes on the one and three-meter boards. In the one-meter dive, Simmons logged a six-dive score of 210 while being followed by Brendan Downey in third (185.18). Simmons also finished the three-meter dive in second place with a score of 213.23 and Downey placed third overall with a 197.03.
The Big Red will return to action Nov.29 through Dec. 1 when they host the inaugural Denison Invitational in Granville.


Over the past few years toast has become a social media phenomena. For people everywhere it has become impossible to enjoy a bite of avocado toast without first taking a picture to post to an instagram account. The hashtag #avocadotaost has 1/2 a million tags and #toast almost 3 million tags. This is all for a good reason. Toast is easy to prepare, provides a perfect crispy crunch making it a great blank canvas for endless possibilities of flavor combinations.
I've seen toast even pop up here in Fresno! The recently opened Hi-Top Coffee, a quaint coffee shop on Wishon south of McKinley, that serves a few different versions of toast. The Sweet Greens is toast with a pesto base topped with a generous portion of avocados. They also serve Sticky Lips, a peanut butter and honey toast, with the option to top with fresh seasonal fruit. Along with to toast, the coffee is great and the venue has a wonderful vibe complete with plenty of tables to sit to get work done. Don't forget the oversized bean bag chairs that my daughter loves. I would definitely suggest checking them out. Don't forget to snap a picture in front of their art wall featuring the artist, Quinn Bowman.
Over the past year, I have seen toast taken to the next level with the use of sweet potatoes as the "toast" base. This is a great option for those on a carb restricted diet. It is definitely no secret that I love sweet potatoes, not only the flavor but for the wonderful health benefits. Sweet potatoes are tubers that they are high in fiber, low in starch, and contain plenty of vitamin A.
To make sweet potato toast just as convenient as regular sliced bread you need to spend a little time prepping in advance. Spend 45 minutes while your making another dish to prepare you sweet potato "toast" slices. I thinly slice 2-3 sweet potatoes and place the slices on a baking sheet. Bake them in the oven for about 30minutes at 350º until the edges turn light golden. Remove them from the oven and let them cool. You can continue to use the sweet potatoes to make your recipe or store the slices in an airtight container in the fridge for later use. Now, when you are ready to make a batch of toast for breakfast or snack, all you have to do is take a few pieces from the fridge pop it into the toaster and continue on. Easy peasy lemon squeeze-y.
For this recipe, one of the key ingredients is the Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning from Trader Joe's. This little bottle is packed with delicious flavors. It brings me back to enjoying Saturday morning bagels with my dads. Not only will you use it for this recipe, it can be used on avocado toast as well as on top of cooked salmon, sprinkled on salads and even grilled chicken.
Cut Sweet Potatoes into 1/4 inch slices. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes until softened.
At this point they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week to be used later.
Toast sweet potato slices in a toaster oven.
Spread on smashed avocado and add a few pieces of smoked salmon. Layer on sliced tomatoes & onion and sprinkle on Bagel Sesame Seasoning.
The possibilities are limitless... do you think you will try out this version of toast? Share your favorite combinations in the comments below.

Offset Printing: How it is done?
Sometimes, we wonder how the colorful magazines that we read or the captivating brochures that we receive came to be. Of course, it all started with a creative process. Writers and designers work together in order to create a good design. Once they are done with the planning and designing, printers take over and take responsibility in creating these designs and transforming them to a work of art. Printing is a seemingly complex area that involves an endless combination of skills, equipments and outcomes. Although letterpress and screen printing are some of the ways to put ink into paper, offset printing is one of the processes you will likely find in great quantity in most print shops.
Offset printing is mostly suitable for printing multicolor photos and artwork on papers. Most modern printing today is done through offset. The process involves the transferring of ink from the impression cylinder to the printed sheet. Offset printing is based on the principle that ink and water don't mix. In the past, lithographers engraved images on a flat stone.
Some stone accepts water while others accept ink. When ink is applied on these stones, the image stays on the greasy area and avoids the rest of the stone. Today, this concept is still being used in printing but with the addition of one essential element - images are transferred from the printing plate to a rubber blanket and then to the paper. When the plate is exposed, an ink receptive coating is activated at the image area. The plate is then dampened by water rollers then by ink rollers. The ink sticks on the image area and the water to the non-image area. From this, the image is transferred to the blanket and the paper passes between the blanket and the cylinder and the image is them transferred to the paper. There are no limitations on tonal choices with offset printing. You can even use smaller fonts and much more detailed images. Offset printing is really good when working in four color process, if the print job is fairly detailed and uses a lot of color or tonal ranges.
Hence, modern printing has evolved through offset printing. With it, printing abilities today has increased significantly in quality and quantity.

Q-Block Computing Inc. is a home for the curious mind and unconventional thinking. We approach high-impact problems at the forefront of science and engineering. We pride ourselves by embracing risk, but with the humility to move on at times. Everyone talks about taking risks, but the very essence of taking a risk is that not everything we do will work out at the end. We find deep meaning in the pursuit of an idea larger than ourselves, with a real possibility of failure.
At the core of our culture, we are people who enjoy solving today's most demanding challenges in Science and Technology. We are brutally honest. And Yes, we are not afraid to admit that universal quantum computers of the future may not yield the kind of economic impact, as often portrayed in the media. Instead, we strive to realize fault-tolerant quantum systems from the elementary building block of Nature, atoms and photons, because we find such a possibility interesting and intriguing. Programmable quantum systems allow us to probe the computational power available in Nature and help us understand the physical laws in terms of informational quantities. In our view, quantum computer is an aspirational goal, as human species, to explore the Hilbert space, conquering the complexities of physical systems. Quantum computers may not be the economic driver of the future, while we also do not deny the possibility of transformative impacts enabled by quantum devices. But this is not what drives us to work every day.
We think about big questions at the forefront of our understanding, and we make the tools enabling us to investigate the mysteries of our universe. We cherish avant-garde science and blue-sky research over a time of horizon longer than today's academic institutions.
What is the computational power of Nature?
Baryonic asymmetry problem
QCD at high density
Quantum gravity and entanglement
Our business proposition is simple. The tools we develop in pursuit of our sciences are useful for other tasks in society with unparalleled return. We commercialize these tools (Q-block modules) for us to reach the scale needed for taking on big questions. Our quantum-inspired hardware solutions will find the critical applications for the betterment of our society.
Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science.

A wealth of research data ready for mining
By McGill Reporter Staff
Opening of new McGill-Concordia Research Data Centre lab facility, along with a new Centre d'accès aux données de l'Institut de la Statistique du Québec in 680 Sherbrooke St. West
February 2022 marked an important milestone for the Quebec Inter-University Center for Social Statistics (QICSS) as it officially opened its new McGill-Concordia Research Data Centre (RDC) lab facility, along with a new Centre d'accès aux données de l'Institut de la Statistique du Québec (CADRISQ), in 680 Sherbrooke St. West.
The RDC, one of 33 across the country, offers the McGill community a wealth of detailed research data from Statistics Canada which are not available to the general public. These microdata consists of observations at the level of individuals, households or businesses, and as a secure lab facility, the RDC ensures they are protected in a way that preserves confidentiality. Their value is in allowing the robust analysis of group differences, making possible the study of important and policy-relevant subgroup differences.
While the microdata come primarily from Statistics Canada Survey Master files, RDCs also increasingly serve as repositories of administrative records from a variety of sources including tax, employment insurance, social assistance, and hospitalization records.
The RDC also houses newer datasets with variables collected at the business level (e.g., the Business Research Microdata) or as a result of data linkages that combine information from different data sources together about the same individual (e.g., the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort – CanCHEC). In all, nearly 200 databases are made available to researchers, covering topics that vary from health, demography, immigration, labour markets, income inequality and poverty to the environment, Indigenous peoples, business, and travel and tourism (Get a complete list of datasets online).
The opening of the CADRISQ, the RDC's sister lab, provides access to ISQ survey microdata (from the Mininstère de la Santé et des Services Sociaux, Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec among others) will usher in new possibilities for McGill researchers to work with provincial confidential datasets.
Serving more than 180 researchers
The first RDC at McGill opened in Peterson Hall back in 2006 under the stewardship of Professor Céline Le Bourdais, Distinguished James McGill Professor of Sociology. It grew considerably over the years to become one of the pillars of the QICSS network in the province. Today, with close to 70 on-going projects, the McGill-Concordia RDC serves more than 180 researchers making it the largest in terms of active users.
The new lab facility at 680 Sherbrooke St. West was designed to accommodate this growing research community by providing a larger number of computer workstations to access the confidential datasets. With the support of the Office of the Vice-Principal (Research and Innovation), the planning phases of the new lab space project began in 2020 with construction undertaken the following year under the supervision of the lab's new Academic Director, Professor Sébastien Breau, Associate Professor in the Department of Geography.
Such an investment in high-level infrastructures positions McGill and the QICSS well in terms of its continued leadership in promoting the development of social statistics in Quebec and Canada, providing a cutting edge environment for research, contributing to evidence-based policy and decision making, and training the next generation of highly qualified personnel in the latest methods for quantitative analysis. The latter is particularly important as more than half of the 180 QICSS lab users are graduate students at McGill. To showcase some the innovative work they do, what follows are four vignettes of graduate students whose research relies on confidential data resources accessed via the RDC facility.
Laëtitia Renée
Laëtitia Renée is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Economics (Faculty of Arts), under the supervision of Professor Fabian Lange. She studies the effects of different interventions promoting university attendance (financial aid, career counselling) on students' long-term outcomes such as degree completion and earnings. Despite large institutional investments in such interventions, we do not know whether they effectively improve outcomes in the long run. The lack of knowledge of the effects on long-term outcomes stems from the fact that it is not easy to access reliable longitudinal data on students' post-secondary education history and earnings. In her research, Laëtitia addresses this gap by taking advantage of unique administrative data of post-secondary institution records and income tax files available at the QICSS. These data allow her to study the effects of three interventions from the Future to Discover Project on students' university enrollment, graduation, and earnings – from the end of high school through age 28. Her findings show that career education programs are effective in improving students' outcomes in the long run. In contrast, she does not find evidence that providing students with additional financial support has any long-term monetary benefits, which is consistent with the fact that a number of grants and loans are already available in Canada. Laëtitia's research is supported by funds from the Fonds de Recherche du Québec – Société et Culture.
Andrew Stevenson
Andrew Stevenson (@AndrStevenson) is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Geography (Faculty of Science), working under the supervision of Professor Nancy Ross. He studies how built environments "get under the skin" to affect the health and well-being of Canadians. With his colleague, Clara Kaufmann, he created the Canadian Food Environment Dataset (Can-FED), which is a dataset of neighbourhood-level retail food environment measures (e.g., proportion of fast-food outlets) derived using microdata from the Statistics Canada Business Register. Andrew has linked the Can-FED measures to individual-level data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey and the Canadian Community Health Survey to determine to what extent neighbourhood retail food environments are associated with diet and cardiometabolic health at the population level. Being able to link environmental data with rich individual-level health survey data through the Canadian Research Data Centre Network allows him and other researchers to investigate how social and environmental factors influence health at the population-level. Andrew is supported by funds from the Fonds de Recherche du Québec – Santé.
Diego Capurro
Diego Capurro is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Epidemiology (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences), under the supervision of Professor Sam Harper. His research focuses on assessing changes in educational inequalities in cancer mortality over time and estimating the potential impact of reducing smoking inequality on the educational gradients in cancer mortality risk and years of life lost in the Canadian adult population. The recent creation of population-based cohorts through the linkage between census, health surveys, and mortality databases provides individual-level socioeconomic, health-related, and cause-specific mortality data and opens great opportunities to analyze cancer mortality inequality at the national level. Diego is supported by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec – Santé.
Yvonne Chang
Yvonne Chang is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Sociology (Faculty of Arts), under the supervision of Professor Thomas Soehl. Her research examines patterns in immigrants' social inclusion in Canada and the salience of specific boundaries, such as region and language, to their experiences. She relies on the 2013 General Social Survey – Social Identity to explore how Canadian contexts relate to immigrants' sense of national and subnational belonging, civic participation, and contact with friends. Her project is supported by doctoral research funding from the Fonds de Recherche du Québec – Société et Culture, and detailed analyses would not be possible without access to the restricted dataset through the Quebec Interuniversity Centre for Social Statistics lab.
For more information or questions regarding microdata resources available at the RDC, please contact Geneviève Brunet-Gauthier (genevieve.brunet-gauthier@mcgill.ca) or Professor Sébastien Breau (sebastien.breau@mcgill.ca). Similar inquiries about provincial data resources available at the CADRISQ can be directed to Jocelyn Lefebvre (jocelyn.lefebvre@stat.gouv.qc.ca).

7A Records are proud to present "This Stuff Never Gets Old", a brand new EP featuring four previously unreleased Peter Tork recordings. "This Stuff Never Gets Old" was originally submitted for inclusion on The Monkees' 2016 "Good Times" album, but producer Adam Schlesinger chose not to include it on the album. "Sea Change", "Vagabond John" and "Miracle" are all soundboard recordings made at The Speakeasy in New York in 1988. It is believed that Tork was once working on releasing a full album from The Speakeasy concert, but these are the only tracks that have been found so far. All recordings have been meticulously remastered. These are great recordings, and we are delighted to be able to release them and make them available for all the fans to enjoy. "This Stuff Never Gets Old" is available on CD and on 10 inch pale blue Vinyl.

Airstream Partners With National Forest Foundation To Clean Up Campsites And Trails Across America
enero 30, 2019 Airstream Partners With National Forest Foundation To Clean Up Campsites And Trails Across America2019-01-30T11:00:00+00:00 Ohio No Comment
JACKSON CENTER, Ohio, Jan. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Airstream, innovative maker of the iconic «Silver Bullet» travel trailer, today announced that public campsites across the country will be tended to after the partial government shutdown thanks to the Campsite Cleanup Campaign, a partnership between Airstream and the National Forest Foundation (NFF).
The NFF is the nonprofit partner of the U.S. Forest Service, supporting 193 million acres of National Forest and Grasslands across the country. During the partial shutdown, the U.S. Forest Service was unable to maintain the 193-million-acre National Forest System that contains 5,100 campsites, hundreds of campground restrooms, and thousands of miles of scenic byways and trails.
«Our forests were really impacted,» said Bob Wheeler, Airstream President and CEO. «In addition to re-opening campgrounds, the NFF and Forest Service are hard at work clearing trees and trails, improving access, cleaning restrooms, and picking up trash. This campaign is about leveraging our strong Airstream community to help preserve our public lands and get families and friends outdoors.»
The Campsite Cleanup Campaign will direct contributions from the Airstream community and supportive public to the National Forest Foundation. Every dollar raised goes directly to the NFF to support the clean up of campsites and campground facilities and improve access to roads and trails impacted by the partial shutdown.
As part of its Leave It Beautiful program, Airstream will match donations up to $25,000 given to the NFF, which has the highest possible rating from Charity Navigator.
«Our National Forests and Grasslands provide recreation and adventure for millions of visitors each year,» said Mary Mitsos, National Forest Foundation President and CEO. «After a closure, it's important that we redouble our efforts to ensure campsites, trails, and byways are accessible for families to see and explore. We're thrilled to have the Airstream community as our partner.»

It is always interesting when practitioners and students of science cross over to the world of literature and the arts. Is their artistic endeavor superior to more traditionally trained artists? I do not know. I can only speak for myself. The scientific perspective in art and literature invariably impresses me. The clear eyed precision scientist-artists bring to their craft confers a particularly satisfying uncluttered quality to their work.
On my recent visit to New Delhi, I visited one of the city's well known art galleries. Among the gallery's many works, I came across an exhibition of paintings by young Richa Arora. Her work is bold, interesting, clean and impressively confident. I had the pleasure of meeting Richa who was present at her show. She graciously gave me the permission to post some of her pictures on my blog. I hope the readers will enjoy her paintings as much as I did. And perhaps leave some comments for her.
A few words about Richa Arora: Richa graduated from Delhi University in 1999 with a major in physics. Changing trajectory, she decided to pursue a career in art and has trained with Rameshwar Broota at Triveni Kala Sangam since 2002. She has participated in several group exhibitions in major art galleries of Delhi. Her solo exhibition is currently on at Triveni Kala Sangam. After graduation, Richa vacillated between a career as a pilot or an artist. In the end she chose flight of fancy over flying and we are glad for that.
"For me art is an unending journey into new possibilities. Sometimes celebrating life's spectacles, sometimes questioning its various frames of meanings. I as an artist am always in search of new frames of mind.... What I paint does represent the natural world, but does so by capturing something of its immutable, intrinsic qualities rather than by imitating its external appearance. My work depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced ways, keeping only an allusion of the original natural subject."
Note: This post appeared on Accidental Blogger in March 2006 soon after I met Richa. I thought it opportune to introduce the readers of this blog to her works while the after-glow of the recent lively debate here on what constitutes good art is still fresh in our minds. Richa's work is abstract but she is no "dripper." As is evident from my description, I find Richa's meticulously executed art quite compelling - so much so that I acquired one of the paintings shown below for my personal enjoyment.
An interesting aside on artistic intent and viewer perception. (Thankfully there was no meddling, officious art critic to explain things). What I saw as the subject of the painting I purchased is not quite what Richa had in mind, I found out later. Although we were not that far apart in our interpretations - my more playful and prosaic version was different from Richa's romantic one. But that didn't spoil the fun for me - I continue to see what I saw before and it still makes sense.
Also, let me note that Richa Arora is no relation of Namit Arora, the sage administrator and editor of Shunya's Notes. So please feel free to comment on Richa's work without the constraints of politeness.

Who's Who Among the Music Industry's Advocates on Capitol Hill
The movers and shakers among the policymakers.
By Robert Levine
David Bowie's Estate Sells Publishing Catalog to Warner Chappell
Sony Music Taps Elvis Adidiema to Lead In French-Speaking Africa
The Astroworld Tragedy: What Happened and What Comes Next
Exterior of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Mark Wilson/Getty Images
Senate leaders on Aug. 10 introduced broad new legislation that will affect creators and how they get paid. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and six other members of the House of Representatives introduced the Music Modernization Act, the most important music copyright bill in a generation. The bill incorporates provisions of earlier legislative proposals (including an earlier version of the Music Modernization Act) that have drawn comment and involvement from throughout the music industry. Below is a selective list of the business executives who have made their voice heard in Congress.
Michael Beckerman
President/CEO, Internet Association
Beckerman's organization represents most of the country's biggest technology companies, as well as Spotify and Pandora. Its endorsement of the Music Modernization Act removed a major potential obstacle to that bill.
Richard James Burgess?
CEO, A2IM
The American Association of Independent Music sometimes disagrees with the RIAA, but Burgess has allied with the major labels and other organizations on copyright reform.
Recording Academy Celebrates 20 Years of Advocacy In Washington D.C.
Rick Carnes
President, Songwriters Guild of America
Carnes' organization negotiated changes to the Music Modernization Act that enabled it to announce its support for the bill in early February — an important signal for legislators concerned about its effect on songwriters.
Ray Hair
International president, American Federation of Musicians International
As head of the American Federation of Musicians, Hair represents performers in negotiations. The AFM has limited influence in Washington, but its approval of legislation shows lawmakers that it will help musicians.
CEO, Digital Media Association
Harrison runs DiMA, which represents digital music companies and supports the Music Modernization Act, because it will offer a safe harbor from copyright-infringement lawsuits for statutory damages from 2018 onward. The organization is often at odds with the music business, so its support has been important.
Bart Herbison
Executive director, Nashville Songwriters Association International
Herbison runs this songwriters group, which supported the Music Modernization Act from the time of its introduction in Congress.
Music Modernization Act Introduced in Congress With Bipartisan Support
Michael Huppe
President/CEO, SoundExchange
SoundExchange was formed to collect payments from SiriusXM Satellite Radio and online radio services like Pandora for their use of sound recordings, and distribute them to labels and musicians. The new bill, which incorporates the CLASSICS Act, would expand the amount of royalties it could distribute. In recent years it has emerged from the shadow of the RIAA to become more influential in Washington.
David Israelite
President/CEO, National Music Publishers' Association
The NMPA represents music publishers, both on Capitol Hill and in litigation and settlement negotiations with technology companies. Under Israelite, the NMPA has allied with other organizations to lobby aggressively for the Music Modernization Act, to give publishers more control over how mechanical royalties are distributed.
Dina LaPolt
Founder/owner, LaPolt Law
LaPolt, who runs her own law firm and has represented clients like Fifth Harmony, Steven Tyler and deadmau5, also advocates for songwriters in Washington, where she helped push the Music Modernization Act. In 2015, she formed Songwriters of North America with Michelle Lewis and Kay Hanley, and serves as the group's attorney and adviser.
Executive director, Songwriters of North America
Lewis and her songwriting partner Kay Hanley formed SONA in 2015 with LaPolt, and the group sued the Department of Justice the following year over its ruling on fractional licensing. Along with LaPolt, SONA advocated for the Music Modernization Act.
Elizabeth Matthews
CEO, ASCAP
President/chairman, ASCAP?
The performing rights organization ASCAP has advocated for changes in music licensing laws for years, educating and mobilizing its 650,000 songwriters and publishers.
James Meyer
CEO, SiriusXM Satellite Radio
SiriusXM opposes the CLASSICS Act, under which digital audio services would pay performance royalties on pre-1972 sound recordings. The satellite broadcaster argues that since the new legislation does not apply to its terrestrial counterparts, it gives them an unfair business advantage.
Michael O'Neill
President/CEO, BMI
BMI, with 800,000 affiliates, won a major victory in 2017 when the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an important decision that allowed fractional licensing, under which songs with multiple writers require a license from all of the songwriters, or their representatives.
Neil Portnow
President/CEO, The Recording Academy
Daryl Friedman
Chief industry, government and member relations officer, The Recording Academy
Both its 24,000 members and the high profile of the Grammy Awards make The Recording Academy a force to be reckoned with, even without the lobbying muscle of the RIAA or NMPA. The passage of the new bill, which would incorporate the AMP Act, would be a historic win for its producer and engineer members.
Chairman/CEO, RIAA
Mitch Glazier
President, RIAA
Sherman, who has led the RIAA since 2011, worked to establish the right of labels and performers to get paid when their recordings are used by digital services, and extending this right to recordings made before 1972 has been an RIAA priority for years. Glazier, a two-decade RIAA veteran, will succeed Sherman as CEO in January.
National executive director, SAG-AFTRA
Under White, SAG-AFTRA represents performers, including session musicians. Although it has limited influence on Capitol Hill, its approval of the newly drafted legislation could help reduce opposition.

After years of getting star treatment, the tables have turned on Reese Witherspoon.
The actress says that these days, she's just the limo driver for the superstars in her life: her two children, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4.
She told Momlogic.com that becoming a parent held some big surprises for her. "I think probably that no one warns you that you don't sleep the first year — that's one of them," said the Walk The Line actress, 32.
"And you basically become a limo driver by the time they're nine.
"I'm a professional driver now. I'm right up there with the Earnhardts!"
But Reese, who divorced their dad, Ryan Phillippe, last year said that there's one thing that she won't compromise on when she's in the car.
"I force my children to listen to my radio stations and they listen to a lot of country music. Very unhappily."

Adirondacks Woman Stabbed to Death! Did Her Daughter Do It?
Mike Karolyi Published: August 3, 2022
How well do we really know our neighbors? I say hello to anyone I see while I walk my dog in the morning and evenings but that's about all it is. "Good morning! What a beautiful day." Things like that are exchanged but I can't say I really know my neighbors after living in the same home for 2 years.
Take this Adirondack neighborhood. All accounts are that the town is quiet and some would say nothing much goes on here but that is no longer the case. New York State Police are investigating the death of a 51-year-old woman and her daughter might be involved.
The following is the timeline, as reported by the New York State Police, of an incident that took place in the Village of Tupper Lake, NY on Thursday July 28 2022. At approximately 1pm troopers from Troop B out of Rye Brook were called to a residence on Lakewood Avenue. When officers arrived they found a woman laying dead on the floor.
During the homicide investigation it was discovered that the deceased woman's identity is Melissa Guisewhile of Tupper Lake. Shortly after the investigation began officers arrested a suspect named Alexa J. Gallagher, also of Tupper Lake. Here's the catch.
According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, Alexa J. Gallagher is Melissa Guisewhile's daughter! Gallagher has been charged with Murder in the 2nd Degree and is currently sitting in a Franklin County jail without bail.
Following an autopsy at Glens Falls Hospital it has been determined that Melissa Guisewhile's immediate cause of death is from stabbing and this has now been ruled a homicide. Should you have further information on this case please call Troop B at 518-873-2750.
