Deep Release Poetry Society searches for talent
April 3, 2013 Campus Life, Top Headlines 1 Comment 3,017 Views
Written by John Preer
It takes a lot of effort to make it through a full day of classes.
When classes are finished, some students like to unwind by listening to and reciting poetry. The Deep Release Poetry Organization provides the perfect exhale to calm nerves after a stressful day.
Meetings are held every other Tuesday at 8:30 p.m., and all talents are welcome.
This foundation is not merely a venue for the bustling poet community at VSU. The talent that frequents these evening deep release sessions is not limited to just poets.
Musicians, vocalists, emcees, and even actors are encouraged to showcase their individual crafts.
"The types of talent at each open-mic are really diverse," Ayanna Taylor, VSU English major, said.
The Deep Release Poetry Organization was founded in the spring of 2008. The current president, Terri Harris, gained her position last spring and has since continued providing the same atmosphere that makes deep release meetings so unique.
Through some recent campus events like The Happening and the Spring Mixer, the organization has gained a bit of popularity that has translated to a packed house at most of the bi-weekly meetings.
President Harris spoke about upcoming events and said that "there are plans for a possible cookout and appearance in the Phi Beta Sigma Word of Mouth event."
The atmosphere at these meetings is very relaxing and welcoming. The people who come and choose to showcase their talents don't compete, but rather encourage fellow performers to improve and excel. The audience tends to applaud when a performer makes a mistake rather than taunt.
One thing that really sets Deep Release open-mics apart from others is that many of the audience and most of the performers are VSU students. This commonality can benefit first-time performers because the audience is usually full of friends and peers.
The organization was founded to give the poet community at VSU somewhere to express itself. Since its inception, the organization has amassed faithful and devoted members.
Most of the organization's focus is on orchestrating and maintaining the open-mics that have become a regular spot for many VSU students. The open-mics begin with an icebreaker to ease any jitters that first-time performers may have. These icebreakers are usually humorous games that get the audience laughing and in a good mood.
Once the icebreaker is done and everybody has gotten acclimated to the environment, the president makes announcements about upcoming news and events.
The performers are then given the floor to exhibit their talent. Once all the people who have signed up to perform have had their turn, the floor is opened up to anyone in the audience who wants to showcase their talent.
This type of setup means that these open-mics can continue as long as there are people who feel the need to express themselves.

WASHINGTON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - European lender Santander has agreed to settle claims by a U.S. consumer watchdog that it misled drivers about the costs of loans and the coverage of related insurance policies, said three people with direct knowledge of the settlement.
Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc, an affiliate of the Spanish banking group, allowed borrowers to make interest-only monthly payments without explaining that doing so would increase the total cost of the loan, said the people familiar with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) sanction.
The lender also failed to explain to customers how an insurance policy - known as 'guaranteed auto protection' (GAP) - would not always cover the costs of replacing a car that was destroyed in an accident.

Executive cars - part two | What Car?
Classy, spacious and more than 1500 cheaper than the 3 Series and C-Class.
This 118bhp diesel is no road rocket, but you'll forgive it when you fill up with juice or renew your tax disc.
Better still, the A4's desirability means it'll lose value more slowly than any other compact exec, and SE trim means plenty of kit 17-inch alloys, auto lights and wipers, and a 10-speaker stereo system come as standard.
If you need a full-size exec, but don't fancy forking out for a Jaguar XF, the 5 Series is our best scrappage buy.
It isn't quite as accomplished as the Jag, but this 2.0-litre diesel is 6500 cheaper to buy and miles cheaper to run. What's more, it's brilliant to drive and impressively refined.
There's no need to step above entry-level SE trim it's well specced and gets trimmings such as cruise control and parking sensors as standard.
Cheaper than the 5 Series to buy and beautifully made with it.
This relatively new 2.0-litre diesel is the best bet if you're on a budget. It isn't quite the cheapest A6 or the most frugal, but the lower-powered e version is a bit too weedy to get the nod.
SE trim has enough goodies to keep us happy including cruise control and leather seats. Worth a look if you aren't keen on the BMW.

The Blueair 680i air purifier is part of Blueair's latest range of air purifiers released in January 2017 and is the follow up model of the '650E' model. The Blueair 680i has an improved airflow rate of up to 25%. The Blueair 680i has an increased airflow rate of up to 1104 m3/h on the highest speed setting when compared to the 832 m3/h of the 650E model. The filtration technology used, size, weight and the overall look of the unit is the same. The Blueair 680i also offers a new 'hidden' interface with touch buttons which can be found under a flip-up lid on top the unit, Wi-Fi connectability and an accompanying app. What the Blueair 680i SmokeStop does offer is a new 'hidden' interface with touch buttons under a flip-up lid on top the unit, Wi-Fi connectability and an accompanying app.
With the new Wi-Fi capabilities of the Blueair 680i air purifier, you are now able to connect the air purifier via your smartphone, Wi-Fi network and make changes to how it operates. This can be done via the Blueair Friend App which is compatible with Android and iOS smartphones. Just like the '650E', the Blueair 680i air purifier has a built-in sensor designed to detect changes in VOC's and PM2.5. In addition, the 680i also offers humidity and temperature sensing capabilities.
The Blueair 680i, as with all other Blueair air purifiers, uses a Three-Stage Progressive Filter – a filter that resembles having many filters in one.
The filter is made up out of three different levels of millions of ultra thin fibers, and with its 'lock-in' design, once captured the particles are not re-released back into your environment, even when the filter is heavily loaded.
The first layers capture larger particles like pollen and dust, and the later layers capture smaller particles like bacteria and exhaust particles. The 680i filter kit includes three filters with enhanced active carbon; one for each side that clean air is released from the unit.
Regular air purifier filters are thinner and mostly consist of the same fiber size and material throughout, this leads to them clogging up sooner. However, the unique design of the Blueair 680i Three-Stage Progressive Filter resists clogging, and allows the 680i to perform longer on its peak performance.
The 680i Filter includes 0.9kg of activated carbon for odour and gas filtration. This removes gaseous pollutants such as cigarette and cigar smoke, or other VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) such as household paints.
When the filter needs to be replaced (around every six months), just open the lid, take out the old filter and put the new one in. No screws, hooks or tools are needed.
Better than other purifier on the market! However the filter's life is very short!


RLCS, Revista Latina de Comunicación Social, 73 – Pages 595 to 613 [Funded] [Research] | DOI:10.4185/RLCS-2018-1271en | ISSN 1138-5820 | Year 2018 analysis from the users' perspective is required to determine how these websites should be designed so that information can be accessed as easily as possible. The technological challenge that newspapers face today has another dimension: search engine optimization (SEO). Given that much of the newspaper website traffic comes through search engines (Negredo et al., 2017), newspapers must be ranked high on search results pages so that their content reaches the public and the public reaches the content, to maintain their advertising revenue. One of the main conditions for newspapers to reach a high ranking on search engines is to have their websites perfectly adapted to mobile devices' screens. This is unsurprising, given that over half of website traffic worldwide occurs through smartphones. Therefore, newspapers must develop their pages for smartphones with particular care, not only because this is a factor that affects SEO, but also because users increasingly access the news through their phones. Faced with this situation, and after having made the leap to a website, newspapers should optimize their presence on mobile devices. However, instead of just transferring their traditional websites to the mobile context, the way users employ their smartphones needs to be analysed from the perspective of the UX, to ensure quality access to the news. 1.2. User experience The discipline known as user experience covers the entire process of user interaction with a website and includes the needs, perceptions, emotions and responses that they experience before, during and after interaction with the site (ISO, 2010). UX is a key factor for the success of any website. In the case of newspaper websites, it is vital, as such sites are content heavy (Codina, 2015), contain substantial amounts of information, and are updated constantly. This complexity is increased in smartphones, where browsing is carried out on smaller screens in a context of mobility. To ensure a good UX, users' expectations and motivations must be considered throughout the process of developing a website. In addition, a team of experts in UX, interaction design, usability and information architecture are required. During the process of designing and developing a website, these professionals often apply guidelines that have been compiled in years of research and practice, which help to guide decision-making. However, some contradictions can be found in the guidelines published by the various standards. This is the case of the strategic three-click rule, which establishes that users should be able to access the information they seek in three clicks. Some standards support this statement (US Department of Health and Human Sciences, 2006; Government of Chile, 2012; Rosenfeld, Morville and Arango, 2015). Others contradict it: for example, the Mobile Web Best Practices (Rabin and McCathieNevile, 2008) argues that users should not have to do more than four clicks to reach their target on the website and Krug (2014) states that the number of clicks is not important if the link is clear.
RLCS, Revista Latina de Comunicación Social, 73 – Pages 595 to 613 [Funded] [Research] | DOI:10.4185/RLCS-2018-1271en | ISSN 1138-5820 | Year 2018 In fact, there is no empirical evidence to demonstrate the validity of the three-click rule, but some data do reveal its inconsistency. An experiment carried out by Porter (2003) shows that there is no direct correlation between the number of clicks and users' success at finding the content they seek. After an analysis of the data, Porter stated that none of the users left the website after three clicks, and therefore the number of clicks could not predict users' success or failure on a website. Considering the contradictions between the guidelines and the popularity of a rule without an empirical basis, the aim of this study was to determine the optimum number of clicks that users are willing to make on websites developed by newspapers for smartphones. The research was designed as an empirical analysis that, based on user tests, could shed light on website design guidelines for the development of mobile websites for the media. 2. Methodology User testing was carried out to meet the established objective. User testing is one of the research techniques used to evaluate usability that are known as testing methods. The aim is to observe the behaviour and reactions of real users on a website while they undertake relevant tasks (Barnum, 2011). Then, the way they interact can be analysed and any difficulties in this interaction can be identified. This type of empirical analysis of the way that users use a website is the main methodological approach in the field of human-computer interaction (Höök and Löwgren, 2012). In the study, these tests were used for two purposes: first, to evaluate the selected guidelines, to determine if they were valid in the context of media mobile websites; second, to identify new guidelines from the observation of user interaction with the websites. This is a concurrent methodological approach based on triangulation (Creswell, 2003), as it included the gathering of quantitative data and a qualitative analysis of user satisfaction, as explained below. 2.1. Sample selection Tullis and Albert (2013) highlighted the importance of knowing the real users of a website, their objectives, and expectations so that test participants' profiles would be representative. In this study, one main condition was that participants used their mobile habitually (at least once a day) to surf the internet, so that their ability to browse on a mobile device would be average/average-high and the guidelines could be tested effectively. Therefore, to select the sample and recruit participants, a panel of users of news on mobile devices was employed that was comprised of 380 people (Cardenal Izquierdo, Aguilar Paredes and Pérez-Montoro, 2017). Data were gathered from this panel on the level of news consumption on media websites as a function of age, gender and level of studies. In the literature on usability, there is no consensus on the ideal number of participants in a test to provide representative results. For years, Nielsen's (1993) sample size criterion has predominated, which states that five users are sufficient to detect most of a system's usability problems. However, some authors have indicated that the accuracy of results increases with more participants (Faulkner, 2003), and that participants need to be representative of real users.
Twenty-three participants made negative comments about the browsing experience. They expressed a certain degree of annoyance as the number of clicks they had to make increased: – "Oh, I don't know what to do. I'd go to another site, I'd go to Google" (P13).
Finally, two particularly relevant observations can be made from the qualitative analysis of data gathered during the second experiment. The first is related to the use of the search feature by the users. The 38 participants who successfully completed the long task used the search feature provided on the La Vanguardia website within its navigation menu. The six remaining participants abandoned the task due to frustration. Hence, when users want to access specific contents, they prefer to do so directly through the search feature. They write the keywords that are of interest to them in the search box, and thus avoid having to browse through the website with no clear direction. In line with Krug (2014), who stated that the number of clicks is not important as long as the links are clear, this observation reveals that when users do not know the navigation path, they prefer to take the shortest route (via the search feature), rather than trying to work out which path to follow or what each link represents. – "Well, let's see, I'd look directly in the search feature … Ah, here it is! I didn't know that." (P6) – "Yes, I'll put it directly in the search feature; I'll put Pensar en Emoticonos, that'll be more direct." (P11) – "I'll go to the hamburger menu; it drops down… But as I saw that there's a search box I put in Jaime Serra. I'm a big fan of search, I use it with everything." (P14) – "I use the search engine because I prefer to do it like that, it's faster." (P23) – "I use the search engine because I prefer to do it like that, it's faster." (P25) – "I'm going to go up, to look in the search feature part because I know the name and so I can find him. I'll look directly for him to see if I can find his articles and I suppose that from there... Now I've got his articles and from there I can look for the right one." (P40) The extensive use of the search feature in this task also coincides with the need, expressed by most participants (60%) in the first experiment, to have a search feature on the page to facilitate access to information.

Greg Davies mops up gruesome crime scenes in new BBC dark comedy The Cleaner
Fans of true crime now have something new to watch as the brand new show The Cleaner hits our TV screens on Friday, September 10 on BBC One.
The show is a dark comedy about crime scene cleaners as Greg Davies, who wrote and stars in the show, cleans up crime scenes as a job each episode.
The cleaner will also feature some famous guest stars like Helena Bonham Carter, comedian Phil Mitchell and actress Stephanie Cole, all of whom praised Greg as a 'funny and talented man' and a 'brilliant writer.'
Greg Davies stars as Paul 'Wicky' Wickstead a crime scene cleaner whose job is to mop up mess after a gruesome murder.
It's based on the long-running German comedy series Der Tatortreiniger (Crime Scene Cleaner) by Mizzi Meyert which first aired in 2011.
Each episode follows a different death, where Wicky meets some quirky characters (including a writer and an influencer) In the pilot episode, Helena Bonham Carter plays the role of a 'murderous wife'.
Greg, 53, is best known for his roles in popular comedies like The Inbetweeners, Cuckoo and Man Down and says that his role as a serious character in The Cleaner was an 'interesting challenge'.
When speaking about writing the show, Greg said: "Each episode is generally a two-hand 'play.' I mistakenly thought this would be easier than writing for multiple characters. It is not!
"It was nice to just focus on Wicky and the person he encounters each week though. It's a challenge to make them rounded and to give context to the dreadful events that have led them to be spending time with a crime scene cleaner."
When asked if he thought he would be good at crime scene cleaning after playing Wicky, he said: "As anyone who knows me will testify, I would be the worse crime scene cleaner on the planet.
"My home/car regularly looks like crime scenes because of my incompetence in the field of domestic work."
In research for the show, Greg spoke to a real crime scene cleaner to make sure the main character Wicky was "cleaning up blood the way it should be."
He said: "The funny thing for me about crime scene cleaning is about 90% of it is graft, you have to mop up big pools of blood."
"There was one point where I had to pick up a severed finger and put it into the bin, even that being a pretend severed finger I did reveal how ill-suited I am to crime scene cleaning."
More than anything, he wants Wicky's pride about his job to be evident throughout the series, as he describes the character as a "simple, unsentimental but moral man."

Greg continued: "I sort of imagine his home to be fairly grim, I don't especially think he looks after himself particularly well, but the thing I was keen to get across was the pride he takes in his job.
"There is a moral element to that, he likes to make things look the way they did before anything happened."
When discussing anecdotes from filming, Greg mentioned 'one incident' that he was 'sworn to secrecy' until he established how much the actor was prepared to pay him not to reveal it.
Greg was also asked what he would ask a real crime scene cleaner if he met them, to which he responded: "I'd apologise and then ask them if we can get together and design a more breathable soco suit for a fat middle aged man working under lights. "
Helena Bonham Carter will star in the first episode of the show as a murderous wife, and said that she "thoroughly enjoyed playing Sheila, one of the eclectic (and sometimes murderous) mix of characters that 'Wicky' comes across during his gruesome but necessary work."
She continued: "Before this job, thanks to my children, I knew Greg as the really tall man on Taskmaster, but now I know that not only is he genuinely very tall but he is also a brilliant writer"
The Cleaner starts on Friday, Sep 10, BBC One 9.30pm and the full series available on BBC iPlayer from 10pm.

Lots of brands aspire to catalyze or support a 'movement' but only a few succeed, mostly because only a few take on the truly difficult issues in a meaningful, fitting way.
Aeromexico hasn't blinked in its take on 'borders' and the divisions people impose between themselves in this ad by Ogilvy & Mather.
It won't resonate with everyone, but those who reject it out of hand aren't likely to be Aeromexico customers in the first place, I'm guessing.
Take a look below. Thanks to friend Robbie Checkoway in Amsterdam for spotting.
There are ideological divides that lead to tensions between man and woman, fat and thin, straight and homosexual. Then, there are the more tangible separators like fences and walls -- an obvious nod to the tremendous barricade between the U.S. and Mexico proposed by Mr. Trump, built "simply because someone didn't want anything to do with someone next door."


Have you see the new Wild Card 2 cartridge? It's awesome. I don't have the first Wild Card cartridge, but this one combines the best of a number of cartridges. It also reminds me of the Just a Note cartridge which is only available (to my knowledge) pre-installed on the E2. Only a few are trifold cards, but tons of shape cards and fun, every day sayings. I made this card for someone who was feeling under the weather. She loves to cook, so hopefully it hit the right note.
Once it was assembled, I thought the front looked a little bare. (It's possible that the sentiment was supposed to go on the front, but it was too large in my opinion.) Thus, I had this cute little puffy sticker--I think they're called "felties" that matched the colors used perfectly.
As of this posting, the Gypsy hasn't been undated to play with Wild Card. Thus, some of the sizing might not be perfect. Just exercise some patience and use trial and error.

This is why a advance loan or a pay day loan is often times a wise borrowing opportunity for anyone who has credit which is less than perfect.


Transferable shares are shares that can be traded between buyers and sellers at a mutually agreed price. Any type of society is free to issue transferable shares, as long as provision has been made for this in its rules. Transferable shares cannot be withdrawn from a society, unless the rules state otherwise. As such, transferable share capital is part of the permanent capital of the society, freeing it from any responsibility to make provision for liquidity. Instead, it is the responsibility of the shareholder to find a buyer if they want to realise the value of their shares. Since 2012 there has been no upper limit on the amount of transferable share capital an individual can hold in a society.
The FCA's registration guidance requires any society that intends to issue transferable shares to have rules that provide for this type of share capital, including its form of transfer, the registration of such shares, and the requirement that the board must give its consent to any proposed transfer of share capital. The FCA also says that it considers any market arrangement that allowed transferable shareholders to make capital gains would normally be inconsistent with registration.
The main problem with transferable shares is the lack of any secondary market or social motive for buying such shares after they have been issued by a society. Buying shares when they are first issued, in a society that needs the capital to get started, provides the investor with a clear social motive. But buying those same shares from an existing shareholder only helps that shareholder get their money back; it does nothing for the society; there is no social motive. Of course, it might be possible for a society to create a financial motive by offering high interest rates on transferable shares, but this might be contrary to the purpose of the society, which is primarily social not financial.
Another problem with transferable shares is that they are not exempt from financial promotions regulations if issued by a co-operative society, which means that this type of society must have their communications vetted by an FCA authorised adviser if they do decide to issue transferable shares. It may also need to comply with the prospectus regulations if the amount of share capital on offer is above the minimum level. The only exception to this is a community benefit society, which is exempt from the prospectus regulations when issuing transferable share capital as long as the money raised is used for its business purposes. However, a community benefit society offering transferable share capital may be making a direct offer financial promotion, which is subject to Financial Promotion Order 2005 and the FCA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook rules 4.7. Such a society must have its communications supervised by an FCA authorised person (see Section 7.3.3). For these reasons, transferable share capital is outside the remit of the Community Shares Unit.
It is theoretically possible to issue shares that are transferable and withdrawable, but it is assumed that such capital would be subject to the £100,000 individual shareholding limit, and at the same time would not be exempt from financial promotions regulations. That is why this type of share capital is also outside of the remit of the Community Shares Unit.


The guest list and the exact date have not been revealed, but one thing is certain: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding will be expensive.
Kensington Palace confirmed on Tuesday that the wedding will take place at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. Dunne said that choosing a venue outside central London will help keep spending down.
But the total cost could skyrocket into the millions when security is included.
"Security at such a historic building would also no doubt be a big consideration, especially with recent security threats and terrorist concerns," said Dunne.
Kensington Palace said Tuesday that the royal family will pay for the May 2018 wedding, despite the bill traditionally being footed by the bride's family.
Sarah Haywood, a wedding planner in London, said the fact that the royal family will pay for the wedding indicates it will not be an official State occasion.
"The celebration will not need to include the number of international royals and foreign and domestic dignitaries that protocol dictated for Prince William's wedding as a future King of England," said Haywood.
"Therefore Windsor is ideal and a more intimate choice," she added.
Harry's brother, William and his wife, Catherine, had two receptions in Buckingham Palace: a traditional lunch for over 600 guests, which was hosted by the Queen and included dignitaries and officials.
Related: Who is Prince Harry's bride-to-be?
William and Catherine had their festivities in central London, and British media said that 1 million people lined the city's streets.
An estimated 5,000 police guarded the public, and there were reports of a dispute between London and the national government over who should pay.
Holding the wedding in Windsor is likely to mean smaller crowds and reduced costs.
A spokesperson for the local Thames Valley Police said it's too early to comment on potential security costs.
However, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Theresa May said there are no plans for an extra day off this time around.

Portuguese-born Hugo de Castro has worked in the hospitality industry for 40 years, 30 of which have been spent as concierge at the Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa in St Helier. He has seen the hotel change hands four times, most recently in August 2011 when it was taken over by BDL Management.
I've worked in various roles in bars and restaurants and being a concierge is the best job in the world. We are the first contact for the guests, the first person they see when they come through the door so it's an important job.
To be a good concierge you have got to have the three 'A's' – attitude, appearance and approach.
You might not be feeling good inside but you have got to get on with it. If you're having a bad day, you go away, have a break for five minutes and come back smiling for the guests.
Nine out of 10 times when the customer is difficult and they have given you a hard time over something they'll end up apologising to you because when they hear themselves they realise they are in the wrong. Whatever happens, I always just take it on the chin.
This job is what I've always wanted to do, being out there talking to people. I've never wanted to do an office job, I couldn't sit there all day at a desk not talking to anyone.
Don't put me in front of a computer screen. Computers don't talk to people and that's what I love to do. I make sure my concierges come out from behind the desk and are talking to the guests, not looking at a computer screen all day.
The Royals love the Grand – they come here a lot. It's easy to see why they love it, we're in the perfect location and this place has a lot of history.
I always say when someone comes here once they'll always come here again and it's important to us that we remember those people who do return. We have guests who will get the same room they had 30 or 40 years ago.
I'm very good with faces. I always remember guests. I might not remember their name, but I can remember what they do or what they did last time they were here.
I never understand people who complain on their last day of their holiday. Every day we will ask if they are ok and they say, 'yes it's fine' then say they weren't happy about the room as they check out. Why do they leave it to the last day? We could have changed the room if we'd known before.
We do get some unusual requests. A Russian ballerina requested she have pink toilet paper once, she wouldn't have anything else, so I went out to the shop and bought enough for her three-week stay.
There is a lady who lives in South Africa who comes to stay with us every year who loves fish and aquariums. Every year she goes into town and buys a fish then brings it back to the hotel and asks me to look after it. She specifies that it must live in Evian water, so she leaves me some money to buy bottles of water and I look after little Freddie until she returns again.
A guest's stay doesn't end when they check out of the hotel. As they are leaving I will always ask them, 'who's going to be there when you get home?' and 'do you have some milk in the fridge for a cup of tea?' It's important that we take care of them right until they get home.


Chess fans, some exciting news to share!
First up, we have arranged another double-header with a local Junior club – South West London Juniors. Based in SW10 (near West Brompton), the SW London club were founded in 2015 but already have a strong base of players and will be putting out 10 boards against us.
We'll first play the Juniors at their home venue St Luke's Church, Redcliffe Gardens on Thursday 23rd Feb, and play a return fixture at Lytton Hall on Monday 13th March. We'll be looking at rapid play timings for both matches. Fixtures are on our Club Calendar – save the dates!
The SW London Juniors in action!
Secondly, in a brilliant gesture of friendship the Juniors co-founder and coach, Tony Niccoli, will be hosting a FREE evening of chess coaching at Hammersmith on the evening of Monday 21 st November.
Tony has been teaching chess since the age of 15, and is now an ECF trainer and arbiter, with a current rating of 198! More on Tony here, but suffice to say he is a top chess professional and it is a real treat to have him offer his services at Hammersmith.
The session is going to be based around a run through & analysis of some games submitted by members. Please get in touch if you'd like your game to be included, so that Tony has time to prepare an analysis first.
We're really looking forward to seeing as many of you there as possible, should be a great night.

Israeli soldiers invaded, Friday, the al-'Isawiya town, in occupied East Jerusalem, stormed many neighborhoods, and photographed many homes, buildings and streets, before handing demolition orders targeting several buildings, and summoned many owners for interrogation.
Mohammad Abu al-Hummus, a member of the Follow-Up Committee in al-'Isawiya, said the soldiers, and personnel of Jerusalem City Council, posted orders for the demolition of several homes and buildings, which were constructed many years ago.
Mohammad said the owners have been paying high fines to the City Council, and have already submitted licensing applications despite the excessively high costs, and are still awaiting a response.
He also stated that the City Council distributes demolition orders every week, during extensive invasions by the soldiers and the police, an issue which is impacting the daily lives of the Palestinians,who cannot feel safe at home due to the constant threats of displacement.
While the Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem continued to be denied construction permits, and face repeated demolitions,displacement and ongoing excessive violations, Israel continues to build its illegal colonies in the city, and the rest of the West Bank, in direct violation of International Law.

Coast Guard Rescues Crew of the Moonlight Maid
September 26, 2012 | Kraft Davies Olsson PLLC
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – According to a report from the U.S. Coast Guard, on September, 21, 2012, the Coast Guard rescued four men from a life raft after they abandoned their fishing vessel more than 30 miles south of Resurrection Bay. Weather at the time the vessel sank was reported as 20-30 mph winds and 13-foot seas.
Coast Guard Sector Anchorage watchstanders received a mayday call on marine VHF radio channel 16 at 9:01 p.m. from the crew of the 110-foot fishing vessel Moonlight Maid. The crew reported that the vessel was sinking and they were donning survival suits and entering their life raft.
Sector Anchorage watchstanders directed the launch of a Kodiak-based MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew to rescue the men in distress. The helicopter crew located the four individuals in their life raft at 10:51 p.m. The helicopter crew safely hoisted the fishermen and took them to Seward where they were transferred to emergency medical personnel. There were no reported injuries.
"They were prepared for an emergency and did exactly what they needed to do to help ensure their safety," said Jennifer Lambert, Sector Anchorage watchstander. "They were prepared with the proper survival suits, life raft, an emergency position beacon and proper communications gear. Having this equipment and using it in a correct and timely manner kept them safe until the helicopter arrived."
This case illustrates the importance of safety training and having the proper safety gear on board in the event of an emergency. In the wake of a vessel sinking, crew members may be contacted by insurance companies to try to immeidately settle their cases before the full extent of their injuries are known. Because the psycholgical effects of such incidents may take time to fully appreciate, quick settlements should be avoided and seaman should consult with a qualified maritime lawyer for a free consultation before accepting any settlement.

What Are the Four Stages of COPD and the Gold System for Grading?
By Becky UphamMedically Reviewed by Sanjai Sinha, MD
Reviewed: February 11, 2021
Spirometry is a test used to measure lung function and to help determine the stage and severity of a patient's COPD.Dai Yim/Shutterstock
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung condition characterized by shortness of breath and a chronic cough. Although there's no cure for this progressive lung disease, it can be managed (and its progression slowed) by taking the right steps and by working closely with your doctor.
COPD is currently categorized into four stages: mild, moderate, severe, and very severe. To determine where your COPD falls on this spectrum, your doctor will take a careful history, evaluate your symptoms, may perform a few tests — including lung function tests, chest X-ray, or computerized tomography (CT) scan — and consider how often your COPD flares up.
Establishing the stage of your COPD helps your doctor decide on the best treatment plan to help you better manage your illness and your health.
What Is the GOLD Criteria System for Grading COPD?
GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) was first established in 2001 by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Within the organization, a large panel of experts from around the world reviews the latest research in COPD and provides recommendations to doctors that are regularly updated. The GOLD Criteria is the standardized way that COPD is assessed and classified and includes recommendations on how doctors should manage different stages of the disease.
The GOLD Criteria has been modified in the last few years to more accurately classify people with COPD, according to Norman Edelman, MD, a core member of the program for public health at Stony Brook Medicine in Stony Brook, New York.
"Originally, the GOLD Criteria were just based on the degree of airway obstruction that we found on breathing tests," says Dr. Edelman.
The criteria are based on results from a breathing test called spirometry, along with two other factors: severity of symptoms and how frequently an individual experiences acute exacerbations. Exacerbations are when someone's COPD gets suddenly worse, according to Edelman.
What Is Spirometry?
The objective measure used to establish the diagnosis of COPD is a pulmonary function test, specifically spirometry, says Philip Diaz, MD, a pulmonologist and critical care doctor at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus. "In a spirometry test, you take a deep breath and blow it out hard and fast. By doing this, we can see how much air you have that you can get out as well as how fast you can get it out," says Dr. Diaz.
This is called FEV, which stands for forced expiratory volume. FEV1 is how much air you can force from your lungs in one second. Your doctor will compare your FEV1 score with what the expected score would be for a person of similar age, sex, and height, without COPD.
Based on the FEV1 score, your doctor can get an idea of how severe the airflow obstruction is, explains Diaz. "That's the 'O' in COPD, and that's how we quantitate the obstruction." The results often correlate with the degree of symptoms. And Diaz notes that the FEV1 score can also have some prognostic implications.
The percentage of what your FEV1 score is compared with what would be expected in someone without COPD can place you in one of the below stages, according to the COPD GOLD guidelines from 2020:
GOLD 1 or Mild COPD: 80 percent of predicted FEV1 value
GOLD 2 or Moderate COPD: 50 to 79 percent predicted FEV1 value
GOLD 3 or Severe COPD: 30 to 49 percent predicted FEV1 value
GOLD 4 or Very severe COPD: Less than 30 percent of predicted FEV1 value
Evaluating the Symptoms of COPD
Doctors also consider symptoms when evaluating a person's COPD because pulmonary function isn't everything, explains Diaz. "I certainly see people with the same level of pulmonary function abnormality, and some do quite well, while others can barely walk across the room, so there are other factors at play," he says.
COPD symptoms such as dyspnea (breathlessness), cough, mucus production, sleep disturbances, and energy level can be evaluated by your doctor through different scales and questionnaires.
RELATED: Symptoms and Diagnosis of COPD
COPD Exacerbation or Flare Risk
The third factor that doctors consider when classifying a patient according to the GOLD Criteria is how frequently the patient experiences an acute exacerbation. COPD exacerbations can be mild, moderate, or severe.
Often an exacerbation can be treated at home with medications such as an inhaler, corticosteroids, or antibiotics, but severe exacerbations require hospitalization or a visit to the emergency room. Getting early treatment for a severe exacerbation is important because in some cases they can be very serious and life-threatening, notes the American Thoracic Society.
Depending on the symptom burden and the number of exacerbations in the last year, a person diagnosed with COPD would be placed in a group of A, B, C, or D.
What Are the Stages of COPD?
There are four stages of COPD, ranging from mild to very severe. How quickly it progresses varies from person to person, according to Umur Hatipoglu, MD, a pulmonologist and Quality Improvement Officer in the Respiratory Institute at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Stage 1: Mild COPD
"During mild stage COPD, you may feel out of breath during light physical activity, like doing housework or walking up the stairs," says Dr. Hatipoglu. "A hacking cough that produces mucus is also common," he adds.
The lowest severity level of COPD is characterized by dyspnea (breathlessness), possibly some coughing and sputum (phlegm).
The most important therapeutic option, for those with mild COPD, remains smoking cessation in those still smoking, says Byron Thomashow, MD, a clinical professor of medicine at Columbia University in New York City and chairman of the board of the COPD Foundation. A smoking cessation program can help you quit cigarette smoking and provide support along the way.
"Diagnosing the disease early could help push smokers to stop and potentially dramatically improve their future." Dr. Thomashow also notes that "having more mild disease does not necessarily mean there are no symptoms, [but] with available medications and rehab programs, we can often significantly improve these symptoms."
While smoking is the most common cause of COPD, long-term exposure to lung irritants — including secondhand smoke, air pollution, and industrial dust and fumes — can also be factors.
RELATED: Causes and Risk Factors of COPD
People with mild COPD who have symptoms may be prescribed a short-acting inhaler known as a bronchodilator to use as needed.
These medications are delivered through an aerosol you inhale. It works by relaxing your airways, allowing you to breathe easier.
It's recommended that people with COPD get yearly flu shots and stay up-to-date on vaccines to protect against pneumonia in order to prevent complications, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Catching and treating COPD early can help slow its progression, says Diaz. "If you're not really experiencing symptoms, the most important reason to get diagnosed at an early stage is if you're a smoker," he says.
Stage 2: Moderate COPD
With moderate stage COPD, shortness of breath during daily activities is more evident, and you may also experience increased coughing and mucus production, says Hatipoglu. "If you're suffering from moderate stage COPD, you could be a good candidate for a pulmonary rehabilitation program," he says.
Pulmonary rehab can help you exercise your lungs to improve lung health and increase your ability to be more active, according to the American Lung Association.
This program focuses on nutrition (to achieve a healthy weight), exercise, and other strategies that can help you control your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Although pulmonary rehab can be beneficial, it's important to know that it will not cure your condition or reverse any lung damage caused by COPD, says Hatipoglu.
Stage 3: Severe COPD
"Once you reach severe stage COPD, your quality of life is significantly impacted," says Hatipoglu. A person with severe COPD will begin to experience several symptoms, which can include the following:
Shortness of breath that has become worse or occurs more often
More coughing or wheezing
Changes in thickness or amount of mucus
Extreme fatigue or weakness
Feelings of confusion or forgetfulness
"Inhaled medications that will open up the airways and help a person breathe easier are often used, and for patients who get frequent exacerbations, we often prescribe inhaled corticosteroids," says Edelman.
When a person gets acute exacerbations, they are often prescribed antibiotics and several days of systemic steroids that come in the form of oral tablets, he adds.
Stage 4: Very Severe COPD
During end-stage or very severe COPD, almost everything you do causes shortness of breath and limits your mobility, says Hatipoglu.
Breathing difficulties can even be life-threatening, and the lack of airflow coming into the lungs starts to affect the heart and circulatory system. "Oxygen therapy may be used in those with more severe disease," says Thomashow. A portable oxygen tank can help improve your blood oxygen levels.
In people with severe COPD who have severe and frequent symptoms, lung surgery and even a lung transplant can sometimes be an option. To be eligible for lung surgery, a person must be strong enough to have the surgery, participate in a pulmonary rehab program, and not be a current smoker, according the American Lung Association.
Complications of COPD can include respiratory infections that make it difficult to breathe and high blood pressure in the arteries of the lung (pulmonary hypertension). People with COPD also have a higher risk of developing heart problems and lung cancer.
Treatment Options for the Different Stages of COPD
Once your doctor has assessed your COPD and determined your staging and group, they'll create a treatment plan to help you manage your COPD. Depending on the type and progression of your disease, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following options:
Bronchodilators
Clinical Trials If you have severe COPD, you may be a candidate for a clinical trial (tests of new treatments). You can find potential clinical trials at ClinicalTrials.gov.
"People sometimes get the diagnosis of COPD and kind of 'freak out,'" says Diaz. "They think it's a death sentence, which is not the case. Not all of the COPD is the same; some can be very mild, and some can be more severe," he says. "It's possible to 'hold steady' or to delay progression of COPD by making lifestyle changes," Diaz notes. "The most important thing to do is to stop smoking. If you've already stopped smoking, that can help slow the advancement of the disease."
If you or a loved one are diagnosed with COPD, remember there are treatment options.

Which weed spray to use for a native grasses yard?
I live south of Falcon, El Paso County, Colorado and have a half acre yard. I have a lot of blue grama, buffalo grass and other grasses. I also have a lot of weeds, some of which are spikey and thorny. Will Weed-B-Gone or Weed and Feed work to kill the weeds and let the native grasses live or do I need something specialized? I've been pulling the weeds as best I can, but they are getting away from me.
Below are links to information about weeds in lawns. Effective management of the weeds requires a positive identification of the weeds. There is also a link to information about weeds from El Paso County. This link provides pictures and would be useful in helping you identify the weeds. Be sure and read the directions on any herbicide you consider purchasing. The directions will give details on how the herbicide might affect the lawn.
Thanks for this information. I don't have any of the list A, B or C noxious weeds, but I do have a thistle on the watch list. Most of my weeds are pretty run-of-the-mill. Do you have a link with the most common El Paso County weeds?
After looking at pictures on the internet, I've identified the following weeds.
I have alot of ragweed that I would like to get rid of most of it. I have not been able to identify the plants with prickles/stickers/thorns. I have tumbleweeds for sure. But I also have a couple of low growing plants with burs and pickers. I'll post a couple of photos soon.
The bottom line question -- what herbicide will kill my weeks and let the native grasses live?
By the way, is this ragweed? Sorry for so many questions.
I do not have a list of the most common weeds. Based on my experience, I believe different areas of the county have different weed issues. For example, in my neighborhood Mullein is a real problem. I do not see this weed in the list of weeds you provided. For reference purposes, I use a book, Weeds of the West, Tom Whitson. I think this book is an excellent reference. It is a bit pricey so I would recommend you go on-line and see if you can find a used copy.
I am also providing a link that gives information on weeds and favorable conditions.
You asked what herbicide can be used for your particular situation. I cannot give the name of a particular herbicide. In my first response to you, I provided links to information about Blue Grama grass and Buffalo grass lawns. There is a discussion of how to control weeds in these grasses. You will need to review this information and then start looking at the specifics on herbicide labels. I regret I cannot be more specific.
I believe the single picture you sent is a picture of ragweed. Link below provides some info on ragweed.
I am a big fan of pulling weeds. No exposure to chemicals, is good exercise and more satisfying than housework. I have pulled many, many bags of weeds this past summer. I have pulled mullein, thistle, red stem pig weed, prickly lettuce and giant ragweed. Some of our native weeds are good pollinator plants. See link below. Perhaps you have some of these native plants and want to consider leaving them for the bees.
Thanks for your nice follow-up.
How many times a year do you need to fertilize/weed control a one acre yard?


Shanghai Overprints were issued for sale at the U.S. Postal Agency in the Chinese port city between 1919 and 1922. The stamps were created by applying an overprint to sixteen denominations of the then-current definitive issues.
Scott#'s K1, K2 and K3 was recently purchased from the APS. The Scott# K5 has been in my collection for a few years. I received it in a packet of Franklin/Washington stamps. Someone must of overlooked it.
Also the Scott Catalogue of United State Stamps state "Used stamps are valued bearing legible cancels showing Chinese origin. I say that because the used value is normally 2 to 2½ times more than the mint value.

The Working With Children Check (WWCC) is an Australian background check requirement, assessing the criminal record of those working or volunteering in child-related work. The check is known as the WWCC (or WWC) in most states and territories. The equivalent check in Queensland is known as a "Blue Card." In the ACT, the equivalent check is known as the Working with Vulnerable People registration.

In Australia, the Working With Children Check is legislated by each state and territory for the purpose of conducting background checks for people seeking to engage in child-related work. These checks aim to prevent people from working or volunteering with children if records indicate that they may pose an unacceptable level of risk to children. While the check is currently conducted on a state level, an Australian government royal commission has called for the transition to a nationwide check. At the same time, some researchers have questioned the effectiveness of a nationwide approach, citing advantages of the particular state scheme developments.

History
In Australia, this form of pre-employment screening for child-related work began in 2000, when the state of New South Wales introduced its Working With Children Check scheme. Since then, every state and territory has established some form of the scheme. Each of the eight state and territory children check schemes operate independently of each other.

In 2016, South Australia announced it would be switching from a model of criminal background checks to a WWCC model, following a recent royal commission report.

Bars
In New South Wales, since changes to the WWCC system in 2013, about 1,800 people have been barred from working with children in the state.

Legislation

Application process
In NSW, the application process involves registering online with the Office of the Children's Guardian, and bringing 100 points of ID to a Service NSW centre. The verification is subsequently emailed to the individual, however, the employer is required to verify the check online as well.

Employers of child-related services need access and update the online WWC system with their current employees to include the Working With Children (WWC) number of each child-related employee.  This means that technically if there is an adverse finding in the future, an employer could theoretically be notified, however there is no official requirement to do so, on the contrary, there is concern that lack of coordination between states may allow some adverse issues slip through.  According to Working With Children NSW, if the verification result is CLEARED or APPLICATION IN PROGRESS, the worker may commence child-related work. If the verification result is NOT FOUND, EXPIRED, INTERIM BARRED or BARRED, the employer must not employ the worker for child-related work and it is a criminal offence to do so.

Once a person has a Working With Children Check they can seek employment in child-related work; the Check relates to the individual, not to the specific position of employment. As such, individuals may use the same check for multiple positions or workplaces.

The WWCC expires after a certain time (5 years) and should be renewed before the deadline to avoid employment compliance issues.

Exemptions
Certain roles and positions are exempt from the WWCC requirement. For example, in Queensland, shopping mall Santas are exempt, while those hired by schools and other venues are required to undergo the check. A parent who volunteers at their child's school may be exempt from the check. In other instances, some roles, such as tutors, will require a WWCC in some states but not in others. Schoolchildren are generally exempt from the check, however, the check is required for Year 12 students who repeated their studies (completing a 13th year), as they turned 18.

Privacy
The WWCC is intended to exclude people with inappropriate criminal histories from working with children, but at the same time, it is not a mechanism for accessing individual criminal history information. The WWCC process is actually designed to protect the individual from having to reveal his or her record, as the application is made by the individual, and if rejected is not otherwise publicised.

Criticism
Some criticism of the WWCC system followed a report that a man being investigated by counter-terrorism authorities, who had previously been involved in a standoff with police at gunpoint in which he threatened them with a sword, continued to be authorised to work with children. Nesha Oneil Hutchinson, President of Australian Childcare Alliance NSW stated that the Working With Children Check system contained serious flaws where unless an individual was convicted of a crime against a child, they may still pass the check. This would allow individuals convicted of crimes against adults to be allowed to work with children. Additionally, the state-based system would possibly allow someone committed of a crime against a child in another state to receive the check as well.

In 2015, final decisions on thousands of applications for checks in South Australia were delayed due to staffing shortages. In some instances, individuals were unable to work while the applications were still being processed, leading members of the public to call for an interim measure to let people work at least until a new clearance was issued.

Product News Network®, a product of ThomasNet Incorporated, Provides A Free New Product News Distribution Service For Manufacturers.
NEW YORK, NY, March 18, 2002 - Product News Network® (PNN), a product of ThomasNet Incorporated, today announced a free news distribution service for manufacturers' new product press releases. PNN delivers timely, reliable and complete new product information to the industrial marketplace. ThomasNet Incorporated is a wholly owned subsidiary of Thomas Publishing Company.
"One of the difficulties every manufacturer faces is letting the right people know about their new products and technology advances. Although there are news feed services available, they rarely reach the market that both needs and uses new product information and they can be cost prohibitive," said Paul Gerbino, Publisher of Product News Network. "Only PNN reviews and distributes new product releases for the industrial market and makes them available to the industrial buyers and decision makers free of charge."
PNN editors review new product releases submitted by manufacturers and write news stories for the industrial market. Manufacturers can submit photos, CAD Drawings and full product specifications as long as the release highlights a new product and has never run on Product News Network before.
PNN then distributes these stories and original releases and makes them available to industrial buyers and decision-makers within 24-48 hours of receipt. New product information is fed to an ever-growing network of websites and users that have a vital need for specific new product release information. Currently, PNN content is distributed through FactivaTM, Thomas Regional Directory and NCMS (National Center for Manufacturing Sciences).
