THE JUSTICE
CONTINUED FROM 1
NOAH ZEITLIN/the Justice
TAKING A STAND: Concerned Students 2015 organized a protest of DCL and Public Safety's policies. They also released a list of demands to the University.
RALLY: Protesters call for racial justice CONTINUED FROM 1 13 "in solidarity" with the initial protest, according to a statement they put out after their demonstration. In the statement, they referred to themselves as #StillConcernedClinicians and said they "feel it is [their] duty and [their] role to amplify the voices of these students" and are working to "understand the role that systems of oppression can have on the mental health of the students [they] serve." The organizers of the May 1 rally and march also asked for increased "transportation equitability and accessibility for students of color" through the establishment of transportation options for students without the financial ability to go home for breaks, as well as expansion of transportation routes to Market Basket Plaza for low-income students. They also asked for use of "more sensitive" transportation options than a police cruiser for student emergency situations. The fourth demand pushed for DCL and Public Safety to stop excessive policing of students of color, require Brandeis police officers to wear body cameras and "strengthen community engagement methods with students of color." A student who read the demands at the Public Safety office said, "You want us to trust y'all, but we don't, because we don't know y'all. Y'all are just like white people on this campus with guns." Director of Public Safety Ed Callahan did not respond to request for comment from the Justice. The final demand urged Liebowitz to issue a statement in solidarity with "students at John Hopkins University organizing against the funding of [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] contracts, and those at Yale University organizing against racialized police brutality in their local community." The organizers said that they "expect a clear statement of action" to be publicly issued by the administration by May 14 at 12:00 p.m. Liebowitz responded to the demands in an email to the Brandeis community on May 3. He wrote that some of the demands brought up at the rally had been raised by students before and were already being addressed, and that other demands "need[ed] to be investigated, understood, and discussed." Liebowitz added that he asked University Provost Lisa Lynch and Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration Stew Uretsky to work with the Division of Student Affairs and the Department of Public Safety, respectively, on negotiating with the student organizers. "It will be through meeting and discussion, rather than through demands and deadlines, that we can make progress," Liebowitz wrote. In the same email, Liebowitz criticized the way the protest was conducted. He wrote that some of the protestors used "loud, vulgar, and threatening tactics," such as using a bullhorn and shouting obscenities, and that he "expects all protests to be done in a manner that is respectful of other individuals." Liebowitz wrote that some of the behavior at the protest violated Section 7 of the University's Rights and Responsibilities student code. He quoted Section 7: "Though the campus must

be open to the free exchange of ideas, the University may limit the time, place, and manner of demonstrations. All members of the community are expected to conduct dialogues with dignity and courtesy." Liebowitz and Dean of Students Jamele Adams did not respond to requests for comment from the Justice. Director of Media Relations Julie Jette did not comment on the May 1 rally or the protesters' demands. The five core organizers of the rally, who requested that the Justice identify them by their first and last initials and class years, held a forum on May 2. One organizer, MR '20, said that their criticism of DCL and Public Safety was not targeted at any individual staff members or incidents, but rather at the institution. "I want people to be honest with themselves about ways they are [complicit] in … racism," CC '19 added. CC explained that many of DCL's actions and policies made her feel uncomfortable on campus, saying, "I don't feel safe." She said that DCL policies were created largely by white communities and that people outside of those communities felt isolated. "Our ways of life are separated," she said. CC specifically named DCL's policy regarding religious candles as an example of a policy that was not equitably implemented. She said that DCL had granted permission for students to use Shabbat candles, but not candles associated with African and indigenous religions. CC also cited her experiences with social gatherings led by students of color being more heavily policed — even when they had been approved by DCL — as one example of of racialized policing. The organizers also talked about how the rally was in solidarity with students at Johns Hopkins University and Yale University, who were engaged in similar efforts to better the campus experiences of Black and Brown students. DF '19 said that she received an email from Johns Hopkins students asking other universities to stand in solidarity with their efforts to stop their administration from creating a private police force and to push them not to have contracts with ICE. CC talked about the rally's connection to Yale University. According to an April 24 CNN article, on April 23, a Yale police officer stopped a car, believing that the Black man in the driver's seat was the perpetrator of a recent armed robbery. A Hamden County police officer shot into the vehicle multiple times. The woman in the passenger's seat was injured, neither she nor the man were arrested and no gun was found in the vehicle. "Solidarity is necessary for all Black Lives Matter movements," CC said. Several of the students also expressed how exhausting it was for them to keep fighting. "It feels like running on a hamster wheel," MR said, explaining how she felt like she was constantly putting in energy and not seeing substantial change. CC added, "I'm sick of it. I take pride in knowing that people fight for me, but people shouldn't have to fight to get an education." CC continued, "I'm so eternally grateful for my ancestors and the work that they've done, but why are we still fighting?"
called Hillel's coverup of the initial graffiti "irresponsible" and wrote, "As a university committed to social justice, we should be promoting dialogue, not suppressing it." The group's premise is to be a coalition of "progressive young Jews" who are against the "occupation" in Palestine, with its message centering around the idea that the state of Israel is "lying to young Jews" about what is occurring in occupied territories, per its Facebook page. In that vein, the statement called the cube "a beacon of propaganda and an embodiment of blatant nationalism." The group also accused Hillel and the University of promoting a "one-sided narrative" that "stifle[d] the diversity of opinion" about Israel among Brandeis students and failed to address the "complexities of the occupation," per the same statement. IfNotNow held a "Propaganda Cube" debrief on May 3, to start a conversation about the "art installation," according to the Facebook event description. The Justice reached out to representatives of IfNotNow for comment and received only a referral to the group's social media posts. On May 2, Brandeis Hillel's Student Board put out its own statement, emphasizing the "real hurt to members of our community" caused by the spray painting of the cube. For Israeli Brandeisians and those with other ties to the country, the week was a time of celebrating the country and "all of the complexity that loving Israel, like loving any country, carries with it," the statement explained. "We wish that those who defaced the exhibition in the Great Lawn—the first time or the second time—had decided to contribute to the project rather than vandalize it." The statement mentioned Hillel's dedication to dialogue about the conflict, including subjects like Israeli politics that are often difficult to discuss. "Hillel works hard to offer different perspectives on the Israeli-Arab conflict. ... That is why we hosted two Palestinians this year in conversation with Israeli Jews – to model respectful disagreement and dialog," Rabbi Seth Winberg, Brandeis Hillel's executive director and the senior Jewish chaplain, wrote in an email to the Justice. Other organizations made statements about the situation, though not involved. In an email to the Justice, Brandeis Israel Public Affairs Committee Vice President Jillian Fisch '21 expressed BIPAC's "disappoint[ment] to see that the original artwork of the artists was vandalized." Fisch, however, emphasized that if the spraypainters graffitied the wall designated for student expression, she would have had no problem with the speech, because that "could have helped spur a conversation in a much more effective and constructive way."
board to discuss racial issues, with one commenter saying students "give more fucks about a piece of WOOD than the black brown trans queer students of all legal statuses telling you they don't feel safe here," referencing the May 1 #StillConcerned protest. Though the two events occurred on the same day, the protest and the cube graffiti were unrelated events concerning different causes.
ongoing conduct process.
The conduct process
Backlash over the spray painting spread swiftly in the University's social media circles. In the Facebook group "Overseen at Brandeis," one student posted a picture of the cube, allegedly to "spark a discussion." In the nearly 300 comments on the thread, current students and alumni debated the nature of the graffiti and its links to oppression of different minorities. The discussion quickly became volatile and vitriolic. One commenter invoked the University's Jewish history to dismiss views that are critical of Israel, stating, "If you don't like Israel or Jews, then simply don't come to Brandeis. It's not a place for you." Around 20 people, including some opposed to the vandalism, refuted the commenter, emphasizing peoples' right to diversity of opinion and accusing the individual of xenophobia. Some used the conflict as a spring-
The situation was further inflamed with an email from University President Ron Liebowitz on May 15 informing the community of the results of the University's investigation into the incident. In the email, Liebowitz wrote that the "culprit" of the initial "Free Palestine" spray painting had not been found, but that the perpetrators of the second act of covering the mural, IfNotNow's sign, could be "going through the university's conduct process." While the email told of no new information about the perpetrators, the revelation that IfNotNow could be brought up on conduct charges brought a new wave of backlash from the community. In a statement provided to the Justice, Students for Justice in Palestine condemned the potential conduct charges, stating that the "precedent is dangerous and harmful, and ... establishes our university as one which does not care about freedom of expression but instead perpetuates an echo chamber of unchallenged support of the Israeli government that these students dared to question." Liebowitz referenced the University's "Principles of Free Speech and Free Expression," writing that the perpetrators violated the policy. "If the messages left on the installation had been conveyed without vandalizing property and in accordance with university policy, the speech would have been protected. But this case involved vandalism targeted at a specific group," the email stated. The group Liebowitz refers to is Brandeis Hillel, so according to Liebowitz, it "could easily lead one to interpret the acts as antiSemitic." On May 16, IfNotNow published a second statement on its Facebook page decrying Liebowitz's email and countering his accusations of antiSemitism. "It is because of the Jewish tradition of repairing the world (tikkun olam), and not in spite of it, that we believe in the possibility of a Jewish community that seeks freedom and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians," IfNotNow wrote. The Justice reached out to Liebowitz for further comment and received a response from Director of Media Relations Julie Jette referring back to his May 15 email. In an email to the Justice, Muncaster explained it is University policy not to comment on the
To gauge the nature of the potential charges brought against IfNotNow, the Justice interviewed Nathan Greess '19, a former chair of the Student Conduct Board. When an individual goes through the conduct process, they can pick from three options: an administrative agreement, an administrative hearing or a Student Conduct Board hearing. In an administrative agreement, the student accepts responsibility for their actions and works with the hearing officer to determine appropriate sanctions. In an administrative hearing, the accused party can bring witnesses and evidence to be heard before one administrative officer. The Student Conduct Board consists of three students and two staff, with the addition of a neutral overseeing conduct officer, and tends to only cover more severe offenses, because the process takes longer. A student who goes through either hearing can appeal the decision if new evidence is found or if there was a procedural mistake during the initial process. During the interview, Greess discussed Sections 6 and 7 of the Rights and Responsibilities, which is the rulebook used in conduct hearings. Section 6 concerns vandalism and respect of University property. Section 6.0 reads, "Respect, maintain, and preserve University grounds, academic and administrative buildings, residence halls, dining facilities, and associated structures, as well as faculty, staff and other students' personal property." Greess speculated that a conduct committee could "read it to violate 'associated structure,'" and was certain that if IfNotNow were to be charged with a conduct violation, it would be a vandalism charge, as there is more guidance and precedent in dealing with vandalism cases. Charging the group under Section 7, which concerns demonstrations, would be more difficult, he said. Under Section 7, a demonstration cannot "disrupt University operations or obstruct physical movement to, from, or within any place on the campus." Greess said he interpreted the section "as having to do with physical demonstrations," such as sit-ins, and "wouldn't know how to go about" invoking Section 7 in any other type of demonstration. Under Section 7, the University can limit the "time, place, and manner" of protests, but IfNotNow did not physically demonstrate. "I wouldn't read it as a disruption … but I think it would be by administrators who don't like demonstrations," he said, explaining that the section is "written so broadly" that it creates "flexibility." Oftentimes, the Student Conduct Board will ask for past precedent in similar cases. However, Greess said, he has no memory of the University putting protesters through conduct charges, and he believes it would have been mentioned in the recent debate. While Liebowitz will often send out emails responding to demonstrations, the administrative response has typically ended there, he said. Most vandalism charges are related to stealing University property, rather than anything similar to the IfNotNow case. Greess was surprised upon learning that IfNotNow was undergoing conduct charges, as he felt "it's a little bit risky, because it's such a heated issue." He said, "My guess is it's probably not a significant sanction, in any of the three options. … I'd be really surprised if this went to conduct board … it's not really as severe as any of the stuff that conduct board gets." —Editor's Note: Editor Gilda Geist and Editorial Assistant Sarah Katz are members of IfNotNow.

STAGE ONE:.The initial mural when the cube was constructed.
On May 10, the University and Hillel made a joint statement condemning the incident and announced that an investigation would be launched. It was signed by Winberg and Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Karen Muncaster and was published in BrandeisNOW. The statement mentioned the recent Chabad synagogue shooting in Poway, California and the increased public safety presence at some Jewish events. Muncaster and Winberg wrote, "We are committed to providing a safe environment for all our students, and we realize many of our Jewish students may feel particularly vulnerable during times of tragic anti-Semitic incidents around the country." The two went on to write that the removal of the graffiti was "consistent with university policy" and that the University is "committed to freedom of expression, but … will not tolerate vandalism."

That is not a very good looking result for them, however it needs to be taken into consideration that it's most probably the current drought of games for the PS3 and not the PS3 itself which is the problem.
The readers over at the Joystiq site really really like the Xbox 360 with a huge majority prefering it over any other system they may own.
However once again it has been out longer and has many more titles worth playing on it so this is to be expected really.
Hopefully they will run another poll towards the end of this year to see if anything changes.

Q&A: What it's like to be on a college campus during a pandemic?
Break the Stigma: Mental Heath in Communities of Color
Girl of the Month: Josie Helm
Written by: Tazrean Hossain
Graphic credit: The Joshua Group
It's October 21. How have we made it this far? Amongst a pandemic, an intense election season, racial tensions, and irreparable damage to the climate, American students have survived. This school year has been especially challenging for our mental health, as we navigate the normal worries of starting school again amongst the new obstacles that have arisen as a result of everything happening in the world.
So how have schools tried to help? Each institution has created a plan, categorized into these three main modes of learning: remote, in-person with social distancing, and a hybrid of those two options. There are variations of these processes to make it the safest for the community: decreasing the number of students on school grounds, letting students decide if they want to be remote or in-person, and changing the school schedule. For instance, the Chapin School, where I went to high school, typically runs on a 6-day cycle. This year, they've changed the schedule to 5 days and created "minimesters" to help with their hybrid model. At Wellesley, where I attend college now, our typical fall and spring semester system has been divided into 4 seven-week terms, to help students in case we are sent home early.
These changes have troubling implications for the academic and social experience of students, particularly high school and college students. With in-person, socially distanced classes, discussion and collaboration feel impossible. In one of my first classes this year, we tried to talk to the person sitting "next" to us. Yelling six feet across the room to someone I barely knew, with masks on, made the task awkward. There isn't a way to naturally befriend people in class. You can't borrow a pen from the person sitting next to you. And if you're on Zoom, you definitely can't walk out of class with someone new and strike up a conversation. This inability to connect is detrimental to our mental health, as school often serves as a way to make friends and find connections you wouldn't have otherwise.

In the spring of my senior year, my motivation was already slipping; Zoom made it worse. I was always tempted to be on my phone during class, to turn the camera off and multitask, and to zone out because no one would notice. I became increasingly distracted and dealt with Zoom fatigue, but the comfort of knowing my grades didn't matter left me unmotivated to fix the issues I had with virtual learning. Furthermore, I felt I was in a temporary situation. At the time, we believed this would all be gone by the fall, and this moment in our education would just be those three months when we didn't really go to school. Now, students like me who struggled with Zoom are forced to continue, unprepared in many ways. Though many schools switched to a pass/fail system for the spring, we are expected now to adjust accordingly because we have some familiarity with virtual learning. Familiarity, unfortunately, does not guarantee success.
For me, my altered academic schedule has added new stress to an already unfamiliar situation. Due to our new term system, academics are far more intense now. We are taking classes that would typically last a semester for only half the time and it's easy to fall behind. Jamie Vera, a current sophomore at Chapin, explains the emotional impact the minimester system is having on students: "…so many people are struggling with losing family members or friends, having to watch their loved ones or themselves struggle with mental health, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and relapse because of how isolated they feel…the minimesters end up giving us a lot of homework and assessments that people don't have the time, energy, or stability for."

Perhaps the biggest blow to our mental health is the inability to make and sustain friendships. Many schools have decreased the number of students on campus, altering the school's social life drastically. People may not end up with their friends, either because they're in different grades, have last names in a different part of the alphabet, or decided to study remotely. Many students have to rebuild a social life they had already created in prior years. Navigating virtual friendships was challenging enough during quarantine, but the sentiment at the time was that it was all temporary. But as we've all had to come to terms with by now, our current state is indefinite, and thus, the new ways we find to socialize will have to be sustainable and enjoyable. It's important to try to make intentional time outside of class for the people you care about because the day-to-day interactions one would have had in-person aren't available anymore.
For new students, it's even more stressful. As a freshman in college, wearing masks and being six feet apart inhibits so many of the interactions I would have normally had by now. Being in-person yet with all these guidelines, sometimes it feels easier to just stay in your dorm when making these connections can feel so daunting. For remote students, it's impossible to separate your home life from your school life, which can be particularly burdensome when those two things are different and perhaps polarizing.
Francesco Ciccolella
Extracurriculars, a way that many high school and college students find community, have taken on new, daunting forms. Monterey Mecham, a current first-year at Wellesley, talks about how joining the Shakespeare Society was one of the primary reasons she chose to attend Wellesley. "They aren't taking new members and a lot of orgs aren't advertising… so it's hard to find things to get involved in." Because less than half of the student body is on campus, it's difficult to advertise clubs, especially with time zone conflicts and the awkwardness of forming connections online. Even when students can join organizations, the experience is far from what they expected. A first-year in college describes her experience with getting involved on campus: "Typically I'd be able to meet people during org meetings or do things like walk or talk back to the dorm with them, but my org meetings consist of staring at black screens on mute as I log onto a zoom call from my room. I love to sing, music has always been a stress outlet for me, but many organizations aren't holding auditions or are limiting numbers of people they take in for auditions due to COVID reasons." The inability to pursue our passions the way we want to is equally draining, as it not only inhibits our social life but our self-expression.
Our institutions' approaches to COVID-19, while varying in safety guidelines and resources available, seems to have a similar impact: students are struggling with physical and emotional wellness, now more than ever. As one college student puts it, "I wish [redacted] would stop running the college entirely like a business and instead consider the mental health of their students in mind."

A generation characterized by our destigmatization of mental health issues, it's imperative that we not only continue the conversation but propose actions we can take to help. If and when possible, find mental health support outside of your home. You can see what your school offers, or look at local hotlines, text services, and more. (Some options are linked below.) Though it's easier said than done, we have to challenge ourselves to socialize in new ways. Make small goals, like choosing to call at least one friend or spending extra time in one class this week. Recognize that there won't be a perfect routine or system you'll come up with, but you can strive to make each day a little better.
Increased access to technology makes it easy to fall into Zoom fatigue, information overload, and poor time management skills. The ease of joining a Zoom allows you to participate in more, but also be so much more exhausted by what you're doing. Checking the news and social media frequently can create information overload, where you're absorbing more than you can fully process. Recognize these symptoms within yourself, and attempt new ways to address it. It can be choosing not to read that article today, or skipping that Zoom tomorrow.
In the spring, my coping mechanisms with virtual learning were certainly not as sustainable. I didn't imagine I would be writing this right now with a mask on, six feet apart from my friend in the building where I get tested twice a week. I wasn't prepared then, but I'm learning to be prepared now. We don't know what will happen next–a thought that can be both comforting and frightening. Either way, we're not alone in our struggle.

REI plans to expand, add employees
by Admin • February 29, 2008 5:00 pm
Isaac Bonnell
The local branch of REI is gearing up for expansion later this year, adding retail space and hiring more staff.
The outdoor equipment retailer, which opened in Sehome Village in 1999, is planning to take over the Sehome Cleaners space next door, adding 5,500 square feet to its current 22,000-square-foot store. The expansion will bring the store just above the company's average store size of 26,000 square feet, said REI spokeswoman Bethany Nielson.
REI has been looking for opportunities to expand for several years now, Nielson said.
"We have always had really successful sales and member numbers in that area," Nielson said.
A majority of the new space will be used for retail and will give the store more room to offer more products, said store supervisor Lenny Walker.
The plan hinges on Sehome Cleaners, which has been at its current location for 15 years. The laundromat is in the process of negotiating with the property management company over the cost of moving to a new space in Sehome Village, said owner KC Ko.
REI is also planning to bring on more employees to staff the expanded store. The Bellingham branch currently has 65 employees and is coming up to its annual spring hiring fair on March 8, during which they typically hire 15 people, Nielson said. With the expansion looming ahead, the branch could hire an additional 10 to 15 people.
Construction is expected to begin this summer and finish by early fall.


During exercise, more sodium is lost in sweat than is usually replaced by food and fluids. Your body can tolerate a degree of imbalance for a short period of time. If the imbalance continues for too long, sodium in the bloodstream is diluted and hyponatraemia (low concentration of sodium in the blood) results. Long runs and races carry a greater risk of hyponatraemia because of the total amount of sweat lost. Adequate hydration and sodium intake – either via sports drinks or food – becomes vitally important during long races (or long training runs).
Symptoms of hyponatraemia can range from mild to severe and can include nausea, muscle cramps, disorientation, slurred speech, confusion, and inappropriate behaviourr. As it progresses, seizures or coma may result. Severe hyponatraemia is a true medical emergency.
Minor symptoms, such as nausea and mild muscle cramps, can be treated by eating salty foods and hydrating with a sodium containing sports drink. More severe symptoms require treatment by qualified medical personnel. If you think you are suffering from hyponatraemia or are unsure, seek medical attention immediately.
Some authorities recommend drinking less water to rebalance sodium and water intake. However, given the risk of dehydration and heat injury, this is not a practical recommendation. Increasing salt intake seems more prudent. By ingesting more sodium, hydration with water is balanced and dilution of blood sodium does not occur.
Rehearse your hydration, feeding, and salt strategy during your training sessions. There are so many variations between individuals that there is no single right answer. Know what your body's' needs are.
It is best if you strive to get your sodium from both sports drinks and salty foods – as opposed to salt tablets – for two reasons. Salty foods stimulate thirst, and it is possible to ingest too much salt with tablets but very difficult with food. One litre of sports drink contains approximately 500mg of sodium, half your hourly requirement. The remainder may come from food sources such as half a vegemite sandwich.
If you don't think that your food and sports drink is providing enough sodium, then consider salt tablets. But make sure you know how much you are taking, and only do so under medical supervision.
· Drink frequently to attempt to stay hydrated.
· During a long, hot race, aim for a total sodium intake of approximately 1 gram per hour. Please note that this may not be appropriate for everyone.
· During training, heat acclimatisation, and for several days leading up to a big race make sure sodium intake is not too low.
· Sodium is also important for recovery.
· Anti-inflammatories, diuretics, narcotics, and certain psychiatric medications should be avoided during exercise, but especially during a race as they interfere with kidney function and may contribute to the development of hyponatraemia in athletes.
· Check with your doctor if you have any health problems.

Can you plan a vacation based on your emotions? We'll take a look at a new workflow?
Are human emotions reliable enough to help plan something long term? Emotions are fleeting and would seemingly only exist — in the same state — for a few minutes. I decided to explore the idea by combining the possibility of personalization AND human emotions.
Simply, personalization is matching content to the user's specific preferences, whether they actually input those cues or not. Personalization is initiated by a number of things, such as adjusting the settings on a site or app.
I'm fascinated by the power of IBM Watson with its natural language processing and a new feature Google has recently implemented into their search called "Destinations" (video at bottom).
I wondered what would happen if I combined those two.
Then what if I took that idea one step further ?
Enter Vacationr — the first travel application that relies on a your emotions to help plan a trip. The personalization factors presents you with a robust set of options, based on how you're feeling. Vactionr walks a you through a series of questions, framed like a narrative that are aimed at helping you find the "perfect vacation".
Behind the scenes our program is beginning to learn about you and each time you answer a question — the context of the remaining questions will change. For instance: if in the "Usually I travel _____" option you've selected "with friends" (instead of "alone") the images below would change to reflect more social activities.
There are other aspect to consider when planning a vacation: budget, flights, and accommodations. Google destinations does a great job of doing this and I highly suggest trying it out.


The treatment of water containing Fluorides, has been traditionally and historically done with Lime in alkaline pH range.
The study on the formation of Aluminium complexes with the Fluorine has been developed (Garrison Sposito: The Environmental Chemistry of Aluminium–CRC Press–1989).
The usual treatment with lime in slurry allows to treat concentrated flows (Fluorides > 1500 ppm) rising from washing or process wastewater where Hydrofluoric Acid (or Ammonium Fluoride) has been used. Such treatment obtains residual Fluoride content in the range of 35 – 60 ppm.
If residual content of Fluorides is ALREADY in such range, this pre-treatment is not required.
The optimum WT-747 dosage has to be defined in lab tests.
Usually, the laboratory test is carried out by additions, with the same procedure, of 500 – 1000 – 1500 – 2000 – 3000 ppm and by reporting in a calibration curve the Fluoride residual concentration.
By such way, it's possible to define the more suitable dosage.


D2 – Evaluate factors that influence the effectiveness of each interaction.
In this piece of coursework I will be analysing and evaluating the factors that influence the effectiveness of each interaction in relation to my work experience in a children's nursery.
This was a positive influence within the communication as I chose to sit at the same level as the children both in the one to one communication and group communication which was sitting down on chairs. As from previous studies about proximity I knew this would be a good way to show the children I am at the same level as them and make them feel more relaxed and comfortable when speaking to me as If I chose to stand up this could have made me more intimidating. In the group activity I chose to seat the children round on a table. This made it easier for me to see all children at the same time and bought more focus within the group activity. This gave less chance for me to have any child go unnoticed and for all children to see me properly removing communication barriers.
This affected the communication in a positive way. This was because the assumptions I used were based around working with children that are younger then myself therefore before I conducted my interactions I was able to prepare on the ways you should and can speak to children to address them in an appropriate and effective manner which will gear and enable them to interact with me also effectively.
The communication cycle was also used throughout my two interactions, one-to-one and group communications.

Homeowners choose to sell a home for many different reasons. Maybe you have decided you need a larger home or maybe you are downsizing and need something smaller. Perhaps you're moving to a new area. The reasons for selling a home are endless. No matter what is behind your motivation for selling, you'll want to follow a few steps to ensure you have a successful transaction.
Your real estate agent is going to be your go-to person from the time you list your home for sale until the closing. Therefore, you must choose an agent who is experienced in the real estate industry and knows your market. You should have a certain comfort level with the agent and feel free to ask questions and call them when you need them. Your real estate agent is going to be on the front line negotiating with buyers on your behalf trying to get you the best deal. So, it is important to ask questions and get to know your agent before embarking on the home selling journey.
One of the most important factors in selling a home is staging it so that it appeals to a wide variety of buyers. When you open your home to potential buyers, you want to clear clutter from all the rooms. You might even need to rearrange furniture or remove unnecessary furniture that's taking up space. The goal is to make each room appear as large as possible because space is what everyone wants. Your home should be decorated with neutral colors. Even if you are a great home interior designer who likes bright, flashy colors, your buyers might be turned off. So, it's best to keep you home decorating low-key.
Conducting market research is essential so you can set the right asking price for your home. You'll need to look at trends in your market such as the current selling price of comparable homes. Your agent will also help you by providing a comparative market analysis which will show the selling price of recently sold homes in your area. You can also research county tax assessment records to see what the tax assessed value of your home is. After researching, you should have a good idea as to what your home is worth.
It is possible that you will receive several offers on your home. Your real estate agent will help you decide which offer is best. You may go back and forth a few times before you accept an offer. The thing to remember is that you don't need to accept the first offer you get, unless it is too good to pass up. Once you've analyzed all the offers you've received and you're pretty sure negotiation of the asking price is over, it's time to inform the lucky buyers that you've accepted their offer and are ready to move to the next step.
Once you accept an offer, your attorney will draft a purchase agreement that will be sent to the buyer's attorney. If everyone is agreement on the purchase agreement terms, the buyer will schedule a home inspection. If any problems are found with the inspection, you will need to make repairs to proceed. Once the home passes inspection, the buyer's lender will schedule an appraisal. If any problems are found and the home doesn't appraise, you'll likely go back to negotiating. However, if the home does appraise, you'll proceed to closing.
You, as the seller, may not be required to attend the closing. If you can sign original documents prior to closing, then you won't have to attend. This is beneficial for you because it gives you extra time to move and get settled into your new home. They buyers will attend the closing. It is at this time that all documents will be finalized, and the money will change hands. Once that happens, the closing is complete, and you are no longer the owner of the home.
The process of selling a home takes time. It can be frustrating at times because you just want to sell the home and move on with your life. But, in the end, it is a rewarding experience. And, once it's over, you can sit back and breathe a sigh of relief and be glad it's done.

Q: How to add a call relay using twilio studio? I want to create a call relay using twilio studio.
So far I can make call to a single number. I want to forward the call to another number if the first number is in busy. I am using 2nd line mobile app for testing this feature.
I am new to stack overflow, Help me with the details of how the call forwarding flow in a twilio studio.
Update
To make the relay of calls ,I placed two Connect Call To widgets and make contact with Connected call ended terminal of first widget to the input terminal of the second widget. The flow of calling is working, but some times the flow breaks. The User pressed keys are not recognizing properly. Did you faced this type of issue?

A: You will need to feed the first Twilio Studio Connect Call To widget into a Split Based on Widget. Then in the Split Based on Widget, check the previous Widgets DialCallStatus to determine if the call was anything but completed.
The variable you are checking in the Split Based on Widget would look like this, accounting for changes in you Connect Call To Widget name:
{{widgets.connect_call_1.DialCallStatus}}

You can then feed that into another Connect Call To widget (if it doesn't equal completed), and place the call to the next party. This way, the second party doesn't receive a call if the first party successfully answered the call.
Similar logic is covered in this Twilio Function for handling voicemail, https://www.twilio.com/docs/wireless/tutorials/communications-guides/implement-voicemail.

Q: Get val of element multiple forms at one page with jQuery For example i have 3 forms on one page. If i click i want to get the value of the input test 2 from that specific form in a document ready.
How can i achieve that?
<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
    <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
    <input name="test2" class="test2" type="text" value="">
    <input name="test3" class="test3" type="text" value="">
    <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
    <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
    <input name="test2" class="test2" type="text" value="">
    <input name="test3" class="test3" type="text" value="">
    <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
    <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
    <input name="test2" class="test2" type="text" value="">
    <input name="test3" class="test3" type="text" value="">
    <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

$('.submitform').on('click', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    ???---???
});

A: Firstly, to achieve this you should hook the event to the submit event of the form, not the click of the button.
From there you can use the this keyword to reference the form which was submit, then find() to get the required input. Try this:

$('.comment-form').on('submit', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var test2 = $(this).find('input[name="test2"]').val();
  console.log(test2);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
  <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test2" class="test1" type="text" value="1">
  <input name="test3" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
  <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test2" class="test1" type="text" value="2">
  <input name="test3" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
  <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test2" class="test1" type="text" value="3">
  <input name="test3" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

A: You should use form and submit event to fetch the values of the relevant fields:

$('form').on('submit', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();

  console.log('Value of test2: ' + $(this).find('input[name=test2]').val())
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
  <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test2" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test3" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
  <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test2" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test3" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<form action="" method="post" class="comment-form">
  <input name="test1" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test2" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="test3" class="test1" type="text" value="">
  <input name="submit" class="submitform" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

A: You can try...
$('.submitform').on('click', function(e){
var values = $(this).siblings('input[name="test2"]').val();
console.log('values:'+ values);
e.preventDefault();
});


Ekta Sohini (Ekta Behl) is Bollywood actress, who was seen in movies like Awwal Number with Aamir Khan and in a smaller role in Fateh even. She is now married to Mohnish Behl, son of famous actress Nutan. Ekta is a versatile performer in stage and has received much recognition in abroad. She also acted in films like Saajan, Vansh and Tahalka. These films had released in 1991 and 1992 and were all top blockbusters; but she could not make any impressive mark in cinema.
She therefore, opted for TV serials and had two shows to her credit. She got a break in Indian soap medical drama Dill Mill Gaye, which was aired on STAR One. Ekta Sohni performed the role of Padma Bansal Gupta as head nurse in Sanjeevini, wife of Shashank. She played her role at slots that were featured in 2009 and 2010. She also acted in another Teleserial in Ithiaas, where she played the character of Aunt Sheila Devi.
Ekta is highly talented and maybe she could not get the right break. She had the chance to debut in Dev Anand's film Awwal Number where Dev Anand, Aaamir and Aditya Pancholi played lead roles. It looks she vanished away or will she continue in films. This time alone can tell. But one incident for which Aamir Khan might remember her is that, one-day her co-star hid his padding, Aamir refused to shoot for the film unless Ekta had given the padding back to him.
As a debut actor of Navketan's Production House, she is definitely talented, but as lady luck did not shine, she took a step backward. She is now a wife to the actor Mohnish Behl. The couple has two children, Krishna Behl and Pranutun Behl. She is related to even Tanuja, who is yesteryear's actress and sister of her mother-in-law Nutan.


Robert Creeley was born in Arlington, Massachusetts. A year with the American Field Service in India and Burma (1944/5) interrupted his time at Harvard; on his return he married, left Harvard without graduating, and, in 1948, went to New Hampshire to try subsistence farming. His attempt two years later to launch his own magazine failed, but prompted a long correspondence with Charles Olson and provided material for Cid Corman's journal, Origin. In search of a cheaper way of life, the Creeleys moved in 1951 to France and the following year to Mallorca (the setting for Creeley's only novel, The Island, 1963), where they stayed until their divorce in 1955. There they set up the Divers Press and printed books by Creeley himself (including The Gold Diggers, 1954; eleven stories), Robert Duncan, Olson, and others. At Olson's invitation Creeley taught at Black Mountain College (spring 1954 and autumn 1955) and founded and edited the Black Mountain Review (1954-7). His first three books of poetry, Le Fou (1952), The Kind of Act of (1953), and The Immoral Proposition (1953), appeared in quick succession while he was in Europe, and his next two, All That is Lovely in Men (1955) and If You (1956), shortly after his return to America. In 1956 Creeley settled in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he remarried, taught at a boy's school until 1959, and took an MA from the University of New Mexico in 1960. Having worked as a tutor on a Guatemalan plantation, in the early 1960s he began a new academic career--which led him in later years to the State University of New York, Buffalo--and became nationally known with For Love: Poems 1950-1960.

KCRW's Lost Notes, Season Two, Episode One, "Teenage Offenders" Now Available
Hosted by Music Journalist and Author Jessica Hopper
"People make mistakes on their way to learning the right thing." – Clif "Hanger" Croce of The Freeze
Santa Monica, CA (April 25, 2019) – The first episode of the 2nd season of KCRW's acclaimed music documentary podcast Lost Notes, "Teenage Offenders," is now available. Hosted by celebrated music journalist and author Jessica Hopper, "Teenage Offenders" tells the story of two members of the early American punk band The Freeze, now forty years later, reflecting on their lyrics and their legacy in the #MeToo era.
Rob Rosenthal and his buddy Clif Croce were in high school when they founded The Freeze, a Boston punk band, in 1978. One of the definitive compilations of music from Boston's 80s hardcore punk scene was named after a Freeze song: "This is Boston, Not L.A." The band opened for the likes of Black Flag, Fear, the U.K. Subs, and toured across the U.S. and Europe. The Freeze remains Cape Cod's longest running punk band. Like most punk bands from this era, they sang about what they were against: religion, jocks, and conformity. But they were bratty, too, and aimed to offend. Now, forty years later, Rob and Clif examine their own feelings on what they wrote decades ago.
Season two of Lost Notes examines untold stories from music history, and explores the idea of legacy. Episode two will be released Thursday, May 2, and features author and poet Hanif Abdurraqib exploring Cat Power's storied album The Greatest. Lost Notes is available for free on Apple Podcasts, KCRW's website and all other major podcast platforms.

Dave Tavres shares how he found his car, and interviews Arnie Brandon, former President of the Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club.


Haven't these people ever heard of the price system?
Ah, yes, sustainable. Let's use fewer resources so that we walk more lightly upon this Earth.
Sure, why not? That's just another name for economic efficiency after all. If we use fewer resources to make one thing then we've resources left over to make another one. Or one of something different. Sure we want to be sparing in our use of resources.
We've even a method to work this out in a market economy. A higher production price will mean that we're calling on more resources to make whatever it is, a lower one fewer.
We do of course think this is amusing about fashion. Clothing is a little different, yes, because why not wear the same clothes for decades? Possibly even wash them occasionally. But the entire point of fashion is that it is a signalling exercise, that one is hip, with it and moving with the seasons and styles. Making something which is fashionable and also lasts for decades seems to us to be violating the basic social purpose of fashion itself.
They're missing that lesson of the price system, aren't they? If it is vastly more expensive to do this in a "sustainable" manner then by definition they must be calling upon more resources to make these "sustainable" clothes.
As anyone who has ever met any of us knows we're not really up with this fashion thing anyway but we do wonder about the idea of using more resources in order to claim to be using fewer.

How we work out: The MIHA Hiking Group
By By Zach Sparks and The Baltimore Sun
Age is just another number for the members of Maryland Intrastate Hiking Association, a group that meets every Wednesday to ascend hills, cross rivers and traverse area parks. Together, these men and women have explored Patapsco Valley State Park, Gunpowder Falls State Park, the Appalachian Trail — and even expanded their hiking routes to include parts of Washington and New York.
How it got started: "MIHA originated as a breakfast group that gathered after Catholic Mass," said Dick Bush, one of the original members. The group started with four members and has grown to 22. "It was large enough that we had to stop accepting members," Bush said.
Nine years later, MIHA is still surveying area parks.
"We've done over 400 hikes, mostly in parks in the greater Baltimore area, but occasionally farther afield," Bush said. "The average hike is about four to five miles."
"Some of the trails we've done more than once," said Richard Wissing. "But about a third of the hikes we go on are new ones."
Who's in the group: Most of MIHA's members are men, ages 65 to 84; only three are women. Most of them are Columbia residents.
The active group includes Jim Morrill, who went on an African safari with his wife in October, and Mel Ringel, who teaches a math course at Towson University.
Usually, one or two spouses, other family members or friends join as guests for each hike.
A typical meeting: Each hike has a designated organizer who chooses the destination, tells the other members what difficulties and conditions to expect, provides a map and leads the walking.
Each member is encouraged to lead at least two hikes per year.
MIHA canceled only two hikes in 2012. The group is not afraid to hike in poor weather, so long as it isn't pouring or the trails aren't too icy.
"There was one hike in Columbia where we were in the middle of a blizzard and got lost because we couldn't see the pathway," said Tom Buckingham.
After each trek, the hike leader records the journey, complete with the hike's mileage, a trail difficulty rating and names of all the participants involved. Lunch follows every hike.
After a hike in Cromwell Valley on Nov. 14, 14 members and guest hikers gathered at McFaul's Ironhorse Tavern and determined that their trail totaled 3.97 miles and had a difficulty rating of 3.5.
Bush then gathered everyone's attention for an important message: "I need the information for a few missing hike reports, and I don't want any excuses like you were away on an African safari or you're busy teaching at Towson University," he said with a smile.
The whole table erupted with laughter.
MIHA's activities have transcended hiking and enabled the members to become a family.

A technical team, comprised of six people including an expert from TUSAN's German partner TAUBER, cleaned land mines in an area of 20 hectares with its mine-sweeping devices.
Turkey has swept land mines in a southeastern town to open a new border crossing at its border with Syria, an executive of the company that cleaned the mines, said on Friday.
Turkey's TUSAN Yapi Sanayi (construction industry company) won the tender opened to clean an area in Nusaybin town of the southeastern province of Mardin in order to construct a new border crossing.
A technical team, comprised of six people including an expert from TUSAN's German partner TAUBER, cleaned land mines in an area of 20 hectares with its mine-sweeping devices, and destroyed 310 anti-personnel, 35 anti-tank mines and a grenade.
"We totally cleared the area from mines in 26 days," Siddik Ozdemir, the director general of Tauber company, told AA correspondent.
Ozdemir said that land mines across Turkey-Syria border could be cleared in five years.


Originally designed as a tech support program, this free application lets your share desktop screens with one person per session; no group collaboration is included. To start using the service, both users need to download and install a small application package. CrossLoop then sends an access code which the primary user enters and emails to the second participant. Sharing control of desktop environments is easy, and the service gives you unlimited time per session, along with file transfers and remote reboot options.
This subscription service is browser-based, meaning there's no need to download or install any software. When a sharing session is created, organizers receive a nine-digit code they give to participants, who simply visit the BeamYourScreen homepage using the browser of their choice and click "Join Session." Up to 25 users can connect simultaneously. The service not only lets you grant control rights, but also record a sharing session for further review.
A free app created by Microsoft, SharedView only works on Windows systems. Each user needs to download the application and then log in using their Windows Live ID. Up to 15 participants can be active in any session. While this service is limited by operating system and requires a download, it does let administrators set up a meeting in advance and then automatically send out emails to employees with the date, time, and access details of the desktop sharing session.
Glance isn't cheap — $50 per month or $500 yearly — but comes with a host of features. Up to 100 users can connect at the same time, admins can pick their own URL to use for the session, and it can be fully customized to look like a company's website. With simple mouse and keyboard sharing along with screen sharing and excellent performance even when streaming videos, the price of admission may be worth it if your company is large enough or if you have a substantial number of at-home employees.
Desktop sharing lets you collaborate without confusion and makes sure all users are on the same page of a project before critical decisions are made. Finding the right sharing app for your needs makes all the difference.
