Why propane is super practical for the cottage
By Martin Zibauer
Photo by Liam Mogan
Next time you're wondering whether there will be enough propane for Saturday's barbecue or if the flow will peter out somewhere between the tank and dinner, try this science demo. Pour some hot tap water down the side of the tank, then run your hand along it to feel the boundary where cold metal becomes warm: that's the level of propane.
The hot water test shows that most of the propane in your cylinder is liquid, sloshing around the bottom and absorbing more heat from the water than the pocket of propane gas on top. If it were all gas in there, like a balloon or a scuba tank, the entire metal sheath would absorb heat evenly.
And that there's a liquid in there is more than just a fun science fact. When liquid propane becomes gas, as it does when it leaves the cylinder, it expands to about 270 times its volume. (Technically, your tank is called a "cylinder" if it can be legally transported with propane inside.) Propane gas has about 2.5 times as much energy as the same volume of methane (natural gas), so that small portable cylinder holds a lot of grilling potential. We use propane because it's a combustible gas with high energy content that's easy to compress into a liquid.
Propane is also a practical fuel because we have a lot available. Canada produces about 11 million cubic metres each year. Even if we didn't need any propane at all, we'd still produce it: about 85 per cent is a by-product of natural gas processing, and most of the rest comes from oil refining.
Propane's last stop in its short trip through your barbecue is at the burner. Propane burns more cleanly than many other fuels, and with fewer greenhouse gas emissions. And any unburnt propane that escapes is not an environmental hazard, like heating oil, or a greenhouse gas, like methane. The flames should be blue with the odd yellow tip, and the bottom of the flame should touch the burner. There's an air shutter on the venturi that you can open a little to reduce yellow flames or close down to constrict air and correct flames that float and dance above the burner. Blue flames are a sign that the propane is producing nothing but carbon dioxide, water vapour, heat, and Saturday dinner.
When you twist open the valve on a propane cylinder and release a little pressure, the liquid propane starts to boil (that is, it changes into a gas), and a tiny bit passes through the valve and into the disc-shaped regulator. Inside, a spring-loaded diaphragm allows the gas pressure to drop way down: from about 100 psi leaving the tank to the equivalent of about 0.4 psi on the other side of the regulator.
Most regulator-hose assemblies in use today have an important, though occasionally mystifying, safety feature. Back in the '80s, a barely plausible charity barbecue plot for Murder, She Wrote could have had the villain cut the regulator hose, letting propane spew out silently and increasing Cabot Cove's appalling crime rate. But since the mid-'90s, new-style QCC1 connectors contain a valve that detects excess gas flow and trips—almost like a circuit breaker—allowing only a small amount of gas to pass into the hose. Sorry, Jessica.
You can identify an up-to-date QCC1 regulator valve by the black plastic collar that screws over the brass threads of the cylinder valve. Compared to old-style POL fittings, which screw inside the cylinder valve, QCC1 fittings connect more securely, since there's no possibility of cross-threading and the propane can't leave the cylinder if the collar isn't screwed on. If you have an old POL fitting, check it carefully for leaks and cracks and replace it if you see any wear.
With the new regulators, though, grillers face a whodunit more intriguing even than murder by barbecue. Occasionally, there's plenty of propane in the cylinder, but the burners produce only a weak flame or none at all. Usually, it's because you opened the cylinder valve too quickly or forgot to close all the burner control valves on top—a burst of propane rushing out an open burner can trip the regulator's safety device. Try closing all the burners and the cylinder valve, then waiting about a minute for the regulator to reset itself. At this point, you should also leak-test the connections, just in case the regulator was right to trip.
Once it's decompressed and feeling little pressure, the propane gas should flow up the regulator hose and through the control valves, before hitting the venturi, a narrow orifice that helps the propane to mix with air to support combustion. You'll probably get a slight whiff of that distinct gas smell, a little like skunk or over-boiled cabbage.
Despite the best efforts of hungry cottagers, most of Canada's propane doesn't go into barbecues; it heats homes, especially in rural areas not serviced by natural gas lines. "Propane is natural gas for people who can't get natural gas," says Brad Hartman, the national partner channel manager at Superior Propane. But why not put natural gas into cylinders or tanks for household use? Compressing natural gas requires much higher pressures than propane and so the tanks are too heavy, complex, and expensive to be practical for residential use.
At a cottage, once you start using propane for more than a barbecue, a stove, and maybe a firepit, you may save money by having a permanent tank installed, says Hartman. Among the cottage applications he sees are in-floor radiant heating, water heaters, stoves, fridges, fireplaces, furnaces, and generators. A typical tank is 1,500 litres, but the size varies depending on how much you use and how accessible your cottage is. Usually, a propane supplier will install a tank sized so it needs three to five refills a year. If winter access is too difficult for a truck, you'll get a bigger tank that needs only one delivery in the fall, enough to see you through to spring.
The price of bulk propane generally tracks the price of oil. "If there's a war in Venezuela or sanctions put on Iran, for example, these geopolitical factors will have an impact on energy prices as a whole, not just crude oil. Propane follows suit," says James Callow, the president of Budget Propane. Tank rental ranges from about $50 to $300 a year, so for most cottagers, he says, heating with propane will be more expensive than natural gas, were it available at the cottage, but much less than electricity.
For cottagers with electric baseboard heating, Hartman suggests a hybrid system to reduce energy bills without an extensive renovation. Wall-mounted propane heaters, which look a bit like oversized bathroom fans, are easy for a heating contractor to install and don't need extensive ductwork (just exterior venting). "They work well in large open rooms, like the big main space in a Viceroy cottage," he says. Leave the existing baseboard heaters in the bedrooms for extra warmth when needed.

Hiring people to manage human resources in your company might seem unnecessary but there are many benefits to it. Running a company in today's world is difficult enough as it is, without having to manage social and other aspects of your company, as well as thinking about the day to day running of the business. Especially if you have a larger company with lots of employees, in various sectors, and at various locations, these are all factors that can make management and communication challenging.
If you are still a sceptic, here a few benefits that come with hiring HR management, and some basics of what they might actually do within your company.
Conflicts often arise in the workplace for various reasons. Without good communication, and the right information exchanged, it is very difficult to resolve such conflicts. It is HR's responsibility to resolve such conflicts and come up with solutions that will please both parties. It is useful to have an impartial party to help manage conflicts, and come up with solutions. This relieves pressures put on managers, and issues such as favouritism, or other undesirable outcomes that might arise if they try to resolve conflicts. Because HR works for your company, they will of course come up with a solution that is beneficial to your business. A win win situation.
Keeping up to speed on training your workforce can often be an inconvenience to management. Likewise, searching and interviewing new candidates can be time consuming and wearisome task. It is the responsibility of HR to write job descriptions and do the leg work when it comes to hiring new candidates. Hiring professional HR services comes with the benefit of having to put less time into these kinds of activities, when your time could be spent elsewhere. This way you get to pick the best candidate out of a selected and qualified group of individuals. This can relieve some pressure and responsibility form management, and let you get on with more important things.
HR manage the performance of your employees, and look at if they are using their skills to the best of their ability. They can help pick up in any under-performance, or areas which individuals could improve on, and offer guidance and solutions. This ensures your workforce is constantly improving and becoming more efficient, therefore improving the effectiveness and success of your organisation.
If questions cannot be answered by supervisors, this often gets referred to the human resources department. This ensures employees are always getting the correct information, and gives a sense of satisfaction that they are being listened too. If not issues can go unresolved or if misinformation is given, this can cause issues to the success or efficiency of the company.
Investing in HR is often very beneficial to larger companies. In the long run this could save you money, as your time can be spent elsewhere, and your company will run more smoothly and efficiently. It also improves communications, and employee satisfaction.

For instance, a book can be liked and a video can also be liked. To make a generalised association which can like both a book an a video, we can simply make a polymorphic association named likeable which contains the likable_type and likable_id.
For instance, a book has many tags and a tag can be associated with many books. To make a simple many-to-many relationship, we can simply use has_and_belongs_to_many. However, to create an indirect association through a joint model, we can use has_many:through.

1. I attended a talk by Amazon China's VP, James Fong in Peking University Guanghua school of management. In one of his slides, Mr. Fong highlighted Amazon's products eco-system in the following diagram which was drawn by one of Amazon's founders in the early years. The diagram starts with sellers, followed by selection and customer experience, then growing traffic, lower cost structure,lower prices and better customer experience, finally a better eco-system. Some of the stages in the circle can be beaten by other competitors, but a stronger eco-system is not that easy to be challenged. The most important fact in this diagram is " Customer Experience" as Mr. Fong mentioned, that is why most companies now focus so much on improving "Customer Experience".
I flew to HK two weeks ago and stayed there for three days before flying back home. The brief thoughts and observations of HK have been posted on my travel blog. My mum happened to be quite free during my stay at home because the printing factory she worked for was under investigation for its sewage pollution. There are quite a number of problems in China. Some happening ones in my hometown are pollution, food safety, ageing population, rapid urbanization, educational resource shortage for the less developed areas, trust between people,etc. Good news is that problems always come with opportunities. People of my generation are working on it to fix the unhealthy nation.


Taylor was born in Harlow, Essex, in 1956 into a family with a musical heritage and a gypsy/traveller tradition, although he did not strictly lead the traditional gypsy lifestyle. At the age of four he received his first guitar from his father, bassist William 'Buck' Taylor. His father frequently played the music of the Quintette du Hot Club de France and Taylor became inspired by their legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt. At age eight he was playing regularly in his father's band and at 15 he quit school intent on becoming a professional musician.
Over the next few years Taylor played in numerous bands, in holiday camps, various radio dates and on cruise ships (one cruise led to the personal highlight of jamming with the Count Basie orchestra). Performing dates in and around London soon brought him into contact with fellow jazz guitarist Ike Isaacs who took the younger man under his wing. In addition to performing with Taylor as a duet, Isaacs helped develop his sense of jazz harmony and started him on the road to developing his unique fingerstyle technique.
Taylor puts his musical talent down to beginning to learn guitar at an early age, playing frequently and also having many musicians on his father's side of the family. Lees verder klik hier.

Seelos Therapeutics Receives Notice of Allowance for an Additional US Patent for Trehalose (SLS-005)
04 déc. 2019 08h00 HE | Source: Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. Seelos Therapeutics, Inc.
NEW YORK, Dec. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEEL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapies for central nervous system disorders and rare diseases, announced today that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for Seelos' U.S. Patent number 10,493,023 (Application number 14/889,727) titled: "TREATMENT OF PROTEIN AGGREGATION MYOPATHIC AND NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES BY PARENTERAL ADMINISTRATION OF TREHALOSE" (SLS-005).
There are several neurodegenerative conditions related by the commonality of protein aggregations including Sanfilippo syndrome, Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (OPMD), Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA3), Parkinson's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's disease and Friedreich Ataxia (FA). The USPTO granted Seelos a patent for treating FA with trehalose in July 2019.
Seelos was previously granted orphan indication from the United States Food and Drug Administration for SCA3 and OPMD for trehalose as well as Fast Track designation for OPMD.
About Trehalose
Trehalose is a low molecular weight disaccharide (.342 kDa) that crosses the blood brain barrier, stabilizes proteins, and importantly activates autophagy which is the process that clears material from cells. In several animal models of diseases, associated with abnormal cellular protein aggregation or storage of pathologic material, it has been shown to reduce aggregation of misfolded proteins and reduce accumulation of pathologic material. Trehalose activates autophagy through the activation of Transcription Factor EB (TFEB), a key factor in lysosomal and autophagy gene expression. Activation of TFEB is an emerging therapeutic target for a number of diseases with pathologic accumulation of storage material.

Intern Spotlight: Russell Kaplan
Francesca Krihely
August 6, 2014 | Updated: May 22, 2015
#mongodb#nosql#careers#interships#Company
This year, MongoDB welcomed 33 university students to our intern program in Engineering, Marketing and Education. In this series, we'll introduce you to the talented students who are helping us transform development and operations for how we run applications today.
We had the chance to sit down with intern Russell Kaplan, who is working on the C++ Driver team.
Where do you go to school, what is your major, and what year are you in? I go to Stanford, where I am a computer science major and a rising sophomore.
What is your role at MongoDB? I work on the C++ driver team, building a geospatial API.
How did you find out about the internship program at MongoDB? Why did you choose to come to MongoDB?
I met MongoDB at PennApps. The App I made there won the prize for best use in the MongoDB category. It was called screenshades, and was a chrome extension that figured out what TV shows you watch and hides spoilers for them from your twitter stream. It worked with machine learning, so we needed a lot of training data, which we scraped from Twitter and Reddit for spoiler hashtags and built a dataset off of. We then used that as a classifier.
I chose to come to MongoDB because I already had a lot of experience with front-end development and building web-apps and wanted to learn more about the back-end of development.
What's your hometown?
My hometown is NYC. Best city in the world!
Did you have previous experience using MongoDB before you arrived? If so, how are things different now that you work at MongoDB? If not, how did you learn MongoDB and how was the education process?
I used it at hackathons before. But I only really used its basic features. I learned a lot more about it after getting here. It's really simple to use for quickly getting started with web applications.
Bike or public transportation to work?
Subway.
What's a typical day (or week) for you?
I get into the office by 10am. Eat some breakfast in the café, catch up on emails for a bit and then get to coding. I code until lunch, have some seamless, play a game of ping pong and then code for the rest of the day.
What do you love most about MongoDB?
I love the people I get to work with. It's a lot of really smart high-energy people that I have so much to learn from.
What's the most challenging aspect of your job?
Because it's a database and an open source company, the code really has to be production quality in a way that class work doesn't. It's a much more rigorous standard of development. That's something that's really cool to learn but challenging at times.
What do you hope to accomplish while you're here?
I hope to have my code integrated into the rest of the MongoDB code base. I hope that the people who use the C++ driver appreciate the work I've done.
What's your favorite Seamless lunch order?
Chop't steak salad.
Name one secret skill you have, unrelated to work.
I can beat box. A little bit, I'm an amateur.
Whose your favorite tennis player?
Djokovic, he's incredible. He also has a hilarious sense of humor and isn't afraid to make jokes about himself and other players.
Kindle or book? What's your favorite book?
Books. I'm old school. My favorite book is probably 1984.
Oh man. Sleep in late Saturday morning and then go play some tennis with some friends. Discover some obscure yet delicious restaurant for dinner, and then go see a Death Cab for Cutie concert. All while getting to hang-out with friends and family.
Want to help build the next revolution in database technology? MongoDB offers summer internships and new graduate opportunities to foster computer science talent across the country. Learn more about the MongoDB University Relations program.
DBTA Names MongoDB Best NoSQL Database
Database Trends and Applications (DBTA) today announced its Readers' Choice Awards, and MongoDB is thrilled to accept in the following categories: **[Winner: Best NoSQL Database](http://www.dbta.com/Editorial/Trends-and-Applications/Best-NoSQL-Database-98431.aspx) [Finalist: Best Database (Overall)](http://www.dbta.com/Editorial/Trends-and-Applications/Best-Database-Overall-98423.aspx)** With more than 22,000 votes cast across 31 categories, thank you to the readers of DBTA for recognizing MongoDB.

New Aggregation Pipeline Text Editor Debuts in MongoDB Compass
There's a reason why Compass is one of MongoDB's most-loved developer tools: because it provides an approachable and powerful visual user interface for interacting with data on MongoDB. As part of this, Compass's Aggregation Pipeline Builder abstracts away the finer points of MongoDB's Query API syntax and provides a guided experience for developing complex queries. But what about when you want less rather than more abstraction? That's where our new Aggregation Pipeline Text Editor comes in. Recently released on Compass, the Aggregation Pipeline Text Editor allows users to write free-form aggregations. While users could previously write and edit pipelines through a guided and structured builder organized by aggregation stage, a text-based builder can be preferable for some users. This new pipeline editor makes it easy for users to: See the entire pipeline without having to excessively scroll through the UI Stay "in the flow" when writing aggregations if they are already familiar with MongoDB's Query API syntax Copy and paste aggregations built elsewhere (like in MongoDB's VS Code Extension ) into Compass Use built-in syntax formatting to make pipeline text "pretty" before copying it over from Compass to other tools The Aggregation Pipeline Text Editor in Compass. Notice how toward the top right you can click on "stages" to move back to the traditional stage-based Aggregation Pipeline Builder. Ultimately, the addition of the Aggregation Pipeline Text Editor to Compass gives users more flexibility depending on how they want to build aggregations. For a more guided experience and to get result previews when adding each new stage, the existing Aggregation Pipeline Builder will work best for most users. But when writing free-form aggregations or copying and pasting aggregation text from other tools, the Aggregation Pipeline Text Editor may be preferable. It also previews the final pipeline output, rather than the stage-by-stage preview that exists today. Users will be able to access either both the traditional Aggregation Pipeline Builder and the new Pipeline Text Editor from directly within the Aggregations tab in Compass and can switch between the two views without losing their work. To get access to the new Aggregation Pipeline Text Editor, make sure to download the latest version of Compass here . And as always, we welcome your continued feedback on how to improve Compass. If you have ideas for how to improve your experience with Compass you can submit them on our UserVoice platform here . We'll have even more great features coming in Compass soon. Keep checking back on our blog for the latest news!

Starting our Engines with Filmmaker Thomas Bos
Name: Thomas Bos
Title: LEER (LEATHER)
Film Programme: New Dutch 3
Hank does not fit in. Riding his motorcycle enables him to clear his mind. Above 130km everything becomes black and white. During his nightly drives his thoughts and reality become deeply entwined.
Thomas Bos, born in 1988, has been (break)dancing since the age of 12. In 2013 he obtained his bachelor's degree in Digital Video Design, pursuing a career as a filmmaker making autonomous as well as collective works. In his latest production with the collective 155 (onefivefive) his two passions came together: realising a touching and playful film, where stereotypes fall short while giving space to an overflowing communal fantasy of unconventional taste.
We have reached out to Thomas, who currently resides in a small Cabana on a beach in Sri-Lanka and asked him few questions on his latest production.
What was your starting point for LEER?
We (155) are a group of guys who grew up together dancing. At one point we realised that we also all rode motorbikes. We really wanted to do a project where we combine these two disciplines. Hence: we made a motorbike-theme'd dancefilm.
What were the difficulties when making this short?
MONEY! No money. As a dance collective, we are becoming better and better in finding and securing funding for our (stage) performances. But to find funding for dance film projects has proven to be extremely difficult, despite it being a very good way to reach more people and get them excited about dance outside of the theaters.
In general, I think that all the problems we have encountered during the process where, in one way or another, related to a money issue. There was not a lot of time, nobody got paid, etc. DOX, our partner in the film, has been the only one, who gave us some funding.
How would you summarise the central theme of your film?
It is about growing up, ageing and encountering more and new responsibilities. How do you deal with these? We are all (almost) 30 now. A steady job, mortgage, cryptocurrency, babies, moving in together. Remove the plug or twist the throttle even further? Who do you want to be and how do you want to relate to the world? Riding your motorbike as an escape from algorithms and responsibilities. Leather (Leer) is about the 'realness' of experience and the intensity with which you live it.
Where do you see the dance film filed moving towards?
I think from the music video world (the place where dance is very present and very popular) dance films will arise that are a little bit less 'dusty'. No more vacant buildings with crunchy soundscapes. I think starting from reality hopefully the variety of dance films available will become more diverse, loose a little bit of the old dusty image. Maybe, in the beginning, it needs to be a little bit commercial, but then, work will arise that feels contemporary, young and relevant.
Don't miss his latest film and all the other incredible productions in our New Dutch programmes on Saturday 9 March. See you at Eye.

Brownsville, Texas - Port Director Michael Freeman today introduced Customs and Border Protection Supervisor Manuel Maldonado as the Brownsville Port of Entry's first passenger service manager.
Supervisor Manuel Maldonado will be the public's local point of contact for passenger service issues, complaints and employee recognitions. Supervisor Maldonado's appointment is a first for the Laredo Field Office, which encompasses eight ports of entry from Del Rio to Brownsville. CBP has more than 50 PSMs throughout the United States, the majority located at international airports.
"Brownsville CBP is committed to working with our travelers by providing a highly-trained workforce to ensure that their processing is done in a courteous and professional manner. Our PSM will be available to address and resolve any concerns our traveling community might have, as well as document any employee recognition for daily acts of professionalism by CBP officers or staff that our travelers might want to express," said Freeman.
Posters displaying contact information for Freeman and Maldonado have been distributed throughout the port of entry and placed in high-visibility areas to assist the traveling public in expressing their comments.


(Last two paragraphs) This article has mapped parties' strategies towards interest groups in a new democracy with their corresponding links and rationales. Although the socio-economic and political circumstances faced by new democracies might lead us to expect parties to disregard linkages with civil society, the empirical analysis has shown that Spanish parties, at least, are interested in interaction with (and even dominance over) social organizations and have established several linkages with a broad array of social groups.
Party-interest group relationships have varied more over time than across parties. Indeed, it seems that changes in civil society impact on how parties organize their links with groups. That said, existing differences across parties appear to be related to their organizational starting points and ideology. Given the literature's persisting deficit on party-civil society relationships, scholars should undertake empirical analyses which shed light on the factors that shape these relationships, and reflect on how and why they change over time and what parties use them for.

Dublin concert sees launch of 'Irish Cultural Boycott of Israel' pledge
Over 150 creative and performing artists sign up to Boycott Israel
On the afternoon of Thursday 12th August 2010, the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) officially launched the historic "Irish artists' pledge to boycott Israel" at a lunchtime concert in Meeting House Square in Dublin. Present at the launch were 20 of the pledge's current 150 signatories, including musicians Damien Dempsey, Donal Lunny and Eoin Dillon (Kíla), artists Robert Ballagh and Felim Egan, playwright Jimmy Murphy and actress Neilí Conroy as well as a crowd of supporters.
Pledge Signatories (L-R): Hassan Ould Moctar (musician), Philip Donnery (musician), Jimmy Murphy (playwright), Felim Egan (painter), Renate Debrun (artist), Sami Moukkadem (musician, writer), Rhona Clarke (composer), Dave Lordan (poet), Raymond Deane (composer), Stephen Rothschild (artist), Steve Woods (film-maker), Bobby Ballagh (artist), Deirdre Murphy (dancer), Donal Lunny (musician), Damien Dempsey (singer), Trevor Knight (musician), Eoin Dillon (ceoltóir), Dearbhla Glynn (film-maker), Neilí Conroy (actor), Freda Hughes (IPSC chairperson)
The pledge, described by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) as "a ground-breaking initiative", has now been signed by over 150 Irish creative and performing artists including Andy Irvine, Seamus Deane, Sinéad Cusack, Jimmy MacCarthy, Margaretta Darcy and Conor Kostick. It commits signatories to boycotting the Israeli state under it respects international law, and reads as follows:
"In response to the call from Palestinian civil society for a cultural boycott of Israel, we pledge not to avail of any invitation to perform or exhibit in Israel, nor to accept any funding from any institution linked to the government of Israel, until such time as Israel complies with international law and universal principles of human rights."
Speaking about his support for the pledge, Kíla's uilleann piper Eoin Dillon who, along with jazz guitarist Sami Moukaddem, played his brand new song Rachel Corrie, said: "I encourage all Irish artists to take this pledge and thereby honour not only their own dignity but more importantly, the dignity of the Palestinian people." Eoin's brother Shane was kidnapped by Israeli commandos on May 31st this year when he was first mate on board the Challenger 1 which was part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla.
The concert also saw performances by Sami Moukaddem, Naisrín and Zahrah Elsafty (who preformed the Palestinian song La Ahada Yalem), and Treasa Ní Cheannabháin who along with her daughters performed her own song An dTiocfása Liomsa (Amhrán Ghaza).
IPSC Cultural Boycott Officer and coordinator of the pledge Dr. Raymond Deane, himself a renowned classical composer, said: "These artists are aware of the Israeli Foreign Ministry's statement in 2005 that "We see culture as a propaganda tool of the first rank, and ... do not differentiate between propaganda and culture." These artists refuse to allow their art to be exploited by an apartheid state that disregards international law and universal principles of human rights, but look forward to the day when normal cultural relations can be re-established with an Israel that fully complies with such laws and principles."
Dr. Deane continued: "Culture cannot stand aloof from politics. Whether or not art is 'above politics', its presentation and representation in the real world can all too easily be hijacked by oppressive states. With this pledge, Irish artists have an opportunity to distance themselves from such exploitation, and to take a non-violent stand on behalf of the oppressed Palestinian people. Indeed, we have set an example here today that will be followed in every part of the world by thousands of artists who will refuse to allow themselves to be used as propaganda tools by the Israeli apartheid state."
Wrapping up the concert, IPSC National Chairperson Freda Hughes thanked all those who have thus far signed the pledge, and said: "All of these artists have shown they are people of principle and conviction. Of course, one does not have to be an artist to take a stand against Israeli apartheid. Every single one of us can aid the Palestinian people in their struggle for human, civil, political and national rights by getting involved in the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel. BDS is a campaign of which this pledge is one important facet, but there are many more avenues that people from all walks of life can get involved in, from consumer and academic boycotts to pressuring the government to take meaningful action. This is what Palestinian civil society has asked us to do, and the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign is proud to have been at the forefront of this campaign since the BDS call went out in 2005."

Daniela J. Lamas, MD, is a pulmonologist and critical-care physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Her first book, You Can Stop Humming Now: A Doctor's Stories of Life, Death, and in Between, was published in 2018. Dr. Lamas has published in the New York Times, Miami Herald, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Journal of New England Medicine, and the Journal of the American Medical Association. The following interview expands on Dr. Lamas' recent New York Times opinion piece regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, "I Got Vaccinated. But the Shot Won't Save My Dying Patients." Her article considers the ongoing precarity of human life as the vaccination undergoes nationwide distribution. Dr. Lamas muses critically on the frustration of observing people who fail to practice social distancing; the vexed symbolism of vaccination selfies; and, ultimately, the measure of hope that the Covid-19 vaccination offers to people around the world impacted by the pandemic. Our correspondence occurred over several weeks in January.
The narrative captures a range of emotions following your Covid-19 vaccination. There is a dual sense of relief and ephemerality as you sit in the hospital's waiting room for the fifteen-minute post-vaccination period. You reflect on your patients, illness, mortality, and the hope that the vaccine affords. What was unusual about these fifteen minutes? What made this period reflective?
In the fifteen minutes after the vaccine, we are quite literally told to sit on a small folding chair, together with and yet distanced from people who shared the same experience. I am rarely alone with my thoughts. In those minutes, it was impossible for me not to reflect on what this all meant, on the fact that in that very same hospital, patients were dying of the same disease that I had just been vaccinated against.
You express feelings of frustration and powerlessness as some people no longer practice social distancing, wear facemasks, or remain quarantined: "If only you could see what it is to be intubated if you could conceive of being suctioned through a tracheostomy tube while learning to walk again, you might make different choices." That is, if people could witness the appalling ravages of the virus, they might embrace precautions seriously. Describe these feelings more specifically and how they have evolved over the course of the pandemic.
I have spent a good deal thinking of how best to change behavior. At the start, when there was so much doubt as to the severity of this disease, I do think that fear was an important component of behavior change. I remember walking outside my apartment in Cambridge, Massachusetts, along the Charles River. It was late March and I had just finished a stretch in the ICU and, as I passed people, even though we were outside and distanced, I panicked. I pulled my mask tight. I was more careful because of what I had just seen in the ICU. As time passed, I believe that people grew tired of feeling scared. I understand that, too. There has been a growing sense of exhaustion and, with that fatigue, a sort of giving up. If I get it, at least I can just get it over with. But then the data about the first vaccines came, and that gave us something that we had not experienced in so long, and that was hope. As I wrote in this essay, I wondered whether hope—just hold out because if you wait, things will be different—would actually be more powerful to change behavior than fear. I'm not sure. But, to speak of hope, I'm still hopeful.
Other than direct observation of seriously ill Covid-19 patients, what can be done to convey the critical importance of following public health guidelines? How can we balance hope and caution?
Of course, everyone cannot have a camera directly into an intensive care unit, thankfully. In a world with a robust system of public health messaging and trust in health authorities, it would be easier to convey the importance of following public health guidelines. I think we have learned so much in this pandemic about what not to do. About the dangers of politicizing science. About how fact can become distorted and the very ideas of illness and infection can take on a metaphorical significance. I would hope that, moving forward, we will benefit from a transparent public health authority that we can trust and reliable messages in the media across political affiliations.
The Covid-19 pandemic uses the graphic vocabulary of the selfie in interesting ways, moving from conventional self-portraits in favor of images that reveal everyday suffering and the exigencies of public health crisis. The bruised, exhausted face of the medical worker is now central to this social media language—your narrative, to some degree, celebrates this vocabulary. Yet you conclude that these images stir hope: "The vaccine selfies tell us to hold on." Describe more specifically why these images are important.
I have wondered about these Covid-19 selfies. In those early days of PPE, I took a few of them myself, more as a way to remember than as something to share. I think that, at their best, these images serve to make the invisible visible because this pandemic in so many ways occurred outside of the public eye. This was not something that you could see on the streets. Yes, there were ambulances, but you couldn't see the virus. In those early spring days, the world was beautiful and quiet and yet, inside the ICUs of our nation's hospitals, something terrifying was happening. I think those early selfies were a way to show that the pandemic was real. As for the vaccine photos, I think of that a bit differently. I think there is a way in which these images are happy and performative, the equivalent of a birthday selfie with a bottle of champagne. But more than that, it is an endorsement of the vaccine to those who are concerned—watch me roll up my sleeve and show that I am not afraid. Beyond that, seeing that this is happening, that it is real, even for those who did not have, and still do not have, access to the vaccine might offer hope.
Some doubting readers (those who commented anonymously on the web version of your article) challenge your view that vaccination selfies inspire hope. One physician stated, "On a side note, call me old-fashioned, but I frown a bit on all of these healthcare workers, including many of my colleagues, plastering images of themselves being vaccinated all over social media like Facebook and Tik Tok. I feel that it's a little vulgar, self-centered, with a touch of elitism." How might you respond to this type of reader reaction?
Truth is, I understand it, but there is also a world of people who are scared to get the vaccine. For them, seeing healthcare workers choosing to get that shot might change their behavior and could even be the difference between life and death. Which is not to say that every vaccine selfie was taken and posted with public health in mind, but even when they were simply a celebration, that is something we also need.
Your narrative focuses on major themes of Covid-19 literature, specifically loneliness and the experience of suffering alone or watching others suffer in isolation. You write, "We are caring for patients who have sacrificed and taken precautions for months and now—bending under the pain of isolation, starved for human connection—might die simply because they decided to spend time indoors with people they love or to go out to dinner." As you continue to witness the deep loneliness of isolated patients, how has your appreciation of human physicality and connectivity changed during the pandemic?
This is definitely something I think about. I have cared for patients, those who might not even have Covid-19 and, at some point, I realize that the medical procedures we are doing to them might be some of the only times that they have experienced physical touch in months. This is tragic. I suppose we all knew, at some level, that we are not meant to be deeply isolated, but this pandemic has made that clear. For people who live alone particularly, for those who relied on their daily interactions with the outside world to remain connected, this has been a desperate time. I think we are only now starting to see the consequence, especially with regard to patients who come to the hospital with overdoses, alcoholism, and depression. We have spent the past year talking about waves and surges of coronavirus cases, but I worry that this will be yet another wave to come, one we are no better prepared to handle.
Your narrative is beautifully written. Why do you feel that this was an important piece to write? What would you like readers to take away from your narrative?
Thank you. I really wanted to tell people to hold on, to know that it is worth continuing to sacrifice, and that this is not forever. In truth, when I wrote this piece, I did expect the vaccine to come more quickly for our most vulnerable patients, particularly in Massachusetts where our rates are in the bottom three-quarters of all states. It has been painful to watch people continue to wait and to grow sick while waiting. Even though this vaccine rollout has been slower than any of us would have hoped, we do have the power to end this pandemic. This piece and these vaccine selfies are all a promise—just hold on and we can make it through.
Healing her…..healing me….

"We've never told our stories," said
the Common Duiker Antelope, or deer,
to the Four-Horned Antelope.
"That's so," tlie Four-Horned Ante
lope remarked.
"Well, don't just agree with me;
suggest something," the Common Dui
ker Antelope said.
"What will I suggest?" asked the
Four-IIorned Antelope.
"Dear me, dear me," said tlie Com
mon Duiker Antelope. "I thought I
gave you enough of a hint."
"Oh, I know," said the Four-Horned
Antelope. "You mean you would like
to tell me your story now."
"That's what I mean," said the
Common Duiker Antelope, "or rather,
that is what I meant. Though, for
tlmt matter, I still mean the same
thing.
"But I would also like to have you
tell your story, too," he ndded.
"Then, you see, we'll be all ready,
when anyone wants to know us, to tell
in clear and simple language who we
are."
"But we can't use clear and simple
language that they'll understand," said
the Four-Horned Antelope.
"Ah, but it will be Interpreted for
"What?" asked the Four-Horned An
telope.
"It will be Interpreted for us, or In
other words someone will tell In the
language people do understand what
our story Is.
"If anyone Interprets French they
tell In the English language Uf they
happen to be English or Asiérican
or Canadian or Australian or Scotch
or Irish or Welsh) what the French
means.
"If anyone Interprets English Into
French they tell In French what the
English means that they're Interpret
ing. In other words, they Interpret or
explain or translate from another lan
guage so they'll understand In their
own language what they wouldn't In
another."
"I see," said the Four-Horned Ante
lope. "And you mean that our animal
stories will be Interpreted or trans
lated Into the language people under
stand."
_ "Just what I mean," said the Com
mon Duiker AntelopeV
"Well," the Four-Horned Antelope
said, "you tell your story first, nnd
"Suggest Something."
then I'll tell mine. I'll be thinking
mine up while I listen to yours."
"You mustn't (lo two things at once
like that," tlie Common Duiker Ante
lope said. "It isn't polite not to pay
attention, and besides it is hard to
tulk to creatures who don't listen."
"I'll listen, then," said the Four
Horned Antelope, "for I think, ufter
all,' I know my story."
"I belong to a large family of Afri
can nntelopes und I'm small, Just as
my special family are nil small. We
wenr simple clothes of quiet colors,
though we have touches of rod to our
gray-brown coats. All of the different
families of Duikers have many things
In common.
"Most of us have straight horns
which look like spikes, about three
Inches-or so In length. There art
only a few members of the family who
have coats with nmoh color to them.
And we're very, very small."
"That's so," the Four-Horned Ante
lope answered.
"Well, 1 iini.n small antelope, too,
and I look something like you, too,
though I'm not a near relative by any
mnnner of means,
"I came from India and that is
where all of my family come from.
"There I used to live on the great
plains, nnd what fun I did have!
"But I enjoy It here, too, for folks
come nnd look at me, because I have
tour horns. I have a pair of larger
ones and n pair of smaller ones and
I wear them all, all the time.
"They say they've never seen any
others like me and they admire me. so
I'm glad really tlmt you asked me to
tell my name nnd from where I came
so that I could tell folks the name of
the antelope with the four horns.
"And when they hear my name 1
feel sure they will think the family
chose well when they picked It out."
His First Million.
A millionaire, as lie got out of his
limousine, was approached by a news
boy. "No, I don't want a paper. Get
out!" he snarled. "Well, keep your
sldrt on, boss," replied the newsboy
"The only difference between you an -
me Is that you are making your sec
ond million and I'm still working oc
my first." •
Blue Favored by Men.
Ask any man what color he likes his
wife or sweetheart to wenr, and It's
ten chances to one lie'll tell you
"white" or "blue." White has always
been held to represent purity. The
Bible uses that color to symbolize ab
solute stnlnlessness ; poets from the
very first have sung about It, and
writers have written about the white
ness of a good woman's soul. In the
same wuy blue has always been held
to mean gentleness, truth and stead
fastness.
"81 r."
Like Doctor Johnson, Mr. Haxlltt
addressed everybody as Sir. The
youngest and most Intimate of his
friends was not exempt from this rule,
unless Mr. Haslltt happened to be In
an unusually happy and cordial hu
mor. Mr. C. H. Reynell's sons, whom
be knew as well as his own child,
were almost Invariably saluted In
what would now appear a ludicrously
formal mannet ; but Indeed this mode
of allocution had not gone out then so
entirely as It has In our day.— R. H.

Ultraviolet Rays.
For some years ultraviolet rays have
been used for sterilizing water, milk
and other fluids. The Idea bas now
been applied to the disinfecting of bar

2014 saw the launch of the WealthBriefing GCC Region Awards as WealthBriefing set to spread the word about the profession's achievements to a wider audience. The awards have grown year-on-year and 2016 promises to attract in the region of 200 – 300 senior banking and wealth management professionals, to the awards dinner.
Independence, integrity and genuine insight will be the watchwords of the judging process. This involved specially convened expert panels drawn from both private banks and trusted advisors and support by relevant third-party organisations.
Winning a WealthBriefing award sets firms apart from their competitors and is a tangible demonstration that they have something special to offer, rewarding achievement, showcasing top class performance and innovation.
Entrants who are shortlisted will be announced on all WealthBriefing media, as will the eventual winners.
Additionally, an extensive PR campaign will highlight all the winners and shortlisted entrants to relevant media.
The culmination of the process will be a black tie dinner on 02 November 2016. This networking event will be conducted in a slick and snappy style. The formalities will not be dragged out unnecessarily as is so often the case at industry awards.
Self-congratulatory pomposity will be strictly off-limits.
External organisations will be brought into the judging process to further objectivity and to ensure that the views of the industry as a whole, along with ultimate client base, are represented.
These will include specialists in branding, marketing, IT, philanthropy and investment management.
There will be two judging panels for the awards.
A panel of trusted advisors who will be responsible for judging the private banking categories.
A second panel of private bankers will judge the trusted advisor categories.
This is to ensure that commercially sensitive information is kept confidential and to avoid conflicts of interest.

We Need A LOT of Christmas, Right Now!
Somewhere between Mariah Carey and Wham! on your holiday playlist are likely a few tunes that have their roots in Broadway.
Whether it's shows devoted to celebrating the season, such as A Christmas Story, or others where Christmas is just part of the story as in Meet Me in St. Louis, we've got a rundown of some of the shows that featured favorite holiday songs and at least one that was the equivalent of a lump of coal.
FLAHOOLEY (1951) – This short-lived musical about a toy manufacturer getting ready to launch his new doll called Flahooley was chockfull of the tricks that should make a hit holiday show: puppets, a genie, a princess and singable songs including "Who Says There Ain't No Santa Claus." What contributed to its only 40-show run was the not-so-veiled satirical indictment of capitalism and, we're not kidding, the Red Scare McCarthy witch hunts, especially prevalent in the show's opening song "You Too Can Be a Puppet." Composer E.Y. Harburg was a victim of blacklisting and it permeated the show. One adjustment before its Broadway opening was having the Flahooley doll laugh when turned upside down rather than the original utterance, "Dirty Red!"
HERE'S LOVE (1963) – Composer-lyricist Meredith Wilson had a thing about parades. First he brought us "76 Trombones" and more marching in Broadway's The Music Man. In Here's Love, he adapted the Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street into a Broadway show showcasing Santa and the famed Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The show featured "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas," a song Wilson penned in 1951, plus the then-newly composed "Pinecones and Holly Berries."
MAME (1966) – The story of the madcap bohemian Auntie Mame, originally was a 1956 Broadway comedy and became a musical in 1966 starring Angela Lansbury – after Mary Martin turned down the role. A highlight of the Jerry Herman production is his song "We Need A Little Christmas," performed after Mame loses her fortune in the 1929 Wall Street crash and she declares they need the holiday to lift their spirits. Sound familiar? The song has been covered by many artists, including Percy Faith, Johnny Mathis, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Pentatonix and The Muppets.
ANNIE (1977) – Sprung from the comics' pages, this musical about a spunky and resilient orphan whose hopes for new life culminates at a Christmas party where she is adopted by billionaire businessman Daddy Warbucks. The show, set during The Depression, includes the rousing "A New Deal for Christmas," where Warbucks declares "Santa's got brand new assistants, there's nothing to fear, they're bringing a new deal for Christmas, this year." Lucky girl.
THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS (1978) – It's unexpected to be moved by a holiday song in show about a brothel but consider this a holiday miracle. When Miss Mona learns her bawdy business is closing, she and her displaced working girls sing "Hard Candy Christmas," that is sad, yet hopeful, and about perseverance. A good message for these challenging times.
MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS (1989) – Spawned from the famed movie, the Broadway show follows the lives and loves of the Smith sisters from Missouri in the year leading up to the 1904 World's Fair. The song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine, is the emotional apex (read SAD) of the Broadway show, reminding all of the importance and the melancholy of the season. The song had commercial success as well, with Judy Garland (who sang it in the film) reaching No. 27 on the Billboard charts. It also was recorded by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, The Pretenders, Luther Vandross, Michael Buble, Josh Groban and more.
RENT (1996) – One of Broadway's most beloved musicals opens on Christmas Eve with a group of Bohemian artists struggling to stay in their Alphabet City home under the shadow of HIV-AIDS. Despite having no money, they celebrate the holiday with hope and friendship. Act one's "Christmas Bells" doesn't fare well in Entertainment Weekly's ranking of the show's songs finishing 22 out of 23, whereas "Seasons of Love," which ranks at No. 4 gives you 525,600 reasons to love it. The staying power of this show's score which continues to resonate is the true gift.
CAROLINE, OR CHANGE (2004) The revival of this musical centering on racial and cultural issues was set to open on Broadway when COVID struck. Caroline, or Change, told through an African American maid employed by a Jewish family in the mid-1960s is now slated to open in Fall 2021. Family and national tragedies (a mother's death and the assassination of President Kennedy) plus the reckoning of the Civil Rights Movement are just a few of the wrenching moments of evolution that occur in this show. A teaching moment comes during the song "The Chanukah Party," where Noah, the son of the family she cares for, offers Caroline an understanding of the Jewish holiday.
BILLY ELLIOT: THE MUSICAL (2008) – In this show about a young boy facing resistance when he says he wants to be a ballet dancer, a holiday show in the midst of a crippling coal miner's strike provides the critical "Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher," about the not-so-popular British prime minister. On the day she died in 2013, a London audience was given the option to pull the song in reverence to the PM. The audience voted to move ahead with the song that includes the lyrics: "We celebrate today/'Cause it's one day closer to your death." Ho, ho, ho.
WHITE CHRISTMAS (2008) and HOLIDAY INN (2016) – The common thread between these two Broadway shows and the films they are based on is the song "White Christmas," the world's best-selling single, sung by Bing Crosby. The song first appeared in the movie Holiday Inn (1942), a movie about a song-and-dance man who opens an inn in Connecticut. The song also inspired the film White Christmas starring Crosby and Danny Kaye as GIs who come to the aid of their former commanding officer turned innkeeper during the holidays. In 2008, White Christmas became a Broadway musical to unimpressive reviews where it was called "as fresh and appealing as a roll of Necco Wafers found in a mothballed Christmas stocking" in The New York Times. It closed after 53 performances but was revived for the 2009 Christmas season. Holiday Inn became a Broadway show in 2016 and closed after 117 performances.
A CHRISTMAS STORY (2012) – Ralphie's yearning for a Red Ryder BB Gun remains the main plot point for this longstanding Christmas movie favorite that was turned into a musical in 2009 having a holiday run on Broadway in 2012. The Tony®-nominated musical retained the movie's charm and sentimentality with a score that strengthened the characters. Songs include odes to the son and father's prized gets: "Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun" and "A Major Award" plus "It All Comes Down Christmas" and "Up on Santa's Lap."
ELF (2012) – Another movie staple-turned-musical still has Santa sitting on a throne of lies as elf Buddy sets out from the North Pole to find his real father. Initial reviews of this "saccharine-sweet" musical read like a toothache but subsequent retooling made it "zippier and funnier." Plus, it's hard not to smile when one of the show's tunes is "Sparklejollytwinklejingley."
