text: Old Traditions, New Talent: New Talent 2023 New Entries Our New Talent 2023 competition is open and accepting entries, and these latest submissions are a blend of traditional Chinese culture with modern design sensibilities, created by a group of new student designers. Jingxin Xu, a junior graphic design student from the School of Visual Arts in New York, starts us off with "JIN XING DANCE COMPANY BRANDING" (above, left), a branding design concept for the Jin Xing Dance Theatre, China's first and foremost leading contemporary dance company. Within its fifteen years of operation, the Jin Xing Dance Theatre has performed in roughly 20 countries spanning four continents and has captivated audiences with its mix of Western and Chinese contemporary dance. Xu has captured the theater's reputation for artistic excellence through her focus on rhythm and softness to showcase both the grace and suppleness of the dancers. The font is simple but bold, and the curves connecting the letters emulate the fabrics used in the costumes. Xu's prominent use of red also not only represents the color of China, where red symbolizes good luck, but also calls to mind the intensity and passion shown in the theater's performances. Next up is an illustration design final from ArtCenter College of Design student Lauren Chen. Named after the creature found in Chinese myth, "Qiong Qi" (above, right) depicts one of the Four Fearsome Beasts detailed in the Shan Hai Jing, or the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. In the story, the Qiong Qi is described as a tiger with wings who enjoys eating people, particularly those who are good and just. In her own depiction of the beast, Chen drew it to have reptile-like spines and the fangs of a saber tooth tiger to further illustrate its vicious and evil nature. The detailed monochrome linework works to bring attention to the power of the subject, with the red being used to accentuate both the lines in the background and the piercing gaze of the subject's eye. Finally, Hannah Pang, a recent graduate from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University in Philadelphia, presents her brand design for an interactive website. The site, "Gibbon & Crane" (above), seeks to simplify the often complex world of traditional Chinese medicine, or TCM, by presenting those curious about the practice with an intuitive, easy-to-navigate web design and a wealth of useful resources. The bright and contemporary color palette brings a fresh, modern perspective to traditional medicine, where the prominent, stylized text is used to illustrate the medicine's purpose in a single word, and flat vector shapes are used to turn every herb into an eyecatching icon. Through her packaging design, Pang aims to make Gibbon & Crane into a lifestyle brand ready for introduction into the real world.

The kittens were fortunate to be found before the winter
A young woman named Victoria cares for homeless kittens and saves them. She adopted a homeless kitten from the side of the road and after a few days another cat came to her door and begged for food.
The cat continued to come to the girl's door and after some time she understood the cat was pregnant as her sides had noticeably expanded.
And only after a day the cat returned, but she was very thin. And it became clear, that she gave birth. And Victoria considered finding the kittens before winter came.
She started to pursue the cat to find out the place of the kittens. She discovered the kittens in an ancient structure. And Victoria considered finding a home for the kittens after they got older.
She took a big package and went to take the kittens. The cat was happy for the woman's deed. Before the woman will find new owners for them the kittens must stay at her house.

One step inside the NFL and MLS' newest stadium and you're immersed in a sea of tech.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium has been billed as the most "tech-savvy" stadium in the NFL and MLS.
Tuesday, it lived up to the hype.
From blazing fast WiFi to a connected fan experience from entry to exit, the stadium is sure to deliver one of the best all-around fan experiences in the NFL and MLS.
While there are countless new features to experience, these five are sure to keep you coming back for more.
1. WiFi Better than Your House
With two 40Gbps internet circuits that theoretically will allow fans to download all 65 Game of Thrones episodes, in 4K ultra HD quality, in 46 seconds, you will never be out of luck when you try to post your next Instagram picture or take a Snapchat of the game-winning touchdown.
Designed by IBM and powered by AT&T WiFi, the stadium has more than 1,800 wireless access points and 4,000 miles of fiber optics to deliver blazing fast connectivity without even having to type in a password or watch an ad. One click and you are in.
The speed of the WiFi has some even considering moving to the stadium. While we don't recommend that, we can confirm that the WiFi is incredible.
2. Next Level Loge Suites
Each loge suite currently has two TVs as well as an iPad to control the entertainment; beyond that is when the real magic happens.
Inside the walls of the suites are Chargifi wireless chargers that allow you to place your phone on the counter and charge without ever having to plug it into an outlet.
While the loge suites offer a glimpse into the future now, they will continue to be used as testing grounds for the latest technology, according to Jared Miller, Chief Digital Officer for AMBSE.
"We are really excited about these because they are the perfect size and will be a great place for us to experiment with AR, VR and whatever else may happen to come about."
3. The Halo Board
The biggest screen in the NFL now belongs to the Falcons and while it's size is something to marvel at, the technology behind it is truly incredible.
At 63,800 square feet, the "Halo Board" is separated into four quadrants with each of them being able to work in sync or even show up to eight different TV feeds while fans are waiting for their 4:25 p.m. game.
As Mike Gomes, Senior Vice President, Fan Experience at AMB Sports and Entertainment Group put it, "At 2 p.m. when we open those doors, we can be the world's largest sports bar."
Some more quick facts courtesy of Daktronics include:
It has more than 37.1 million LEDs and is 27 times larger than the main display at the Georgia Dome.
It would take 5,800 60-inch TVs to cover the entirety of the display.
Rolled out, it would be long enough to fit 5 total 747 aircrafts lined up nose to tail.
Rolled out and stood on end, it would be the 10th tallest building in the United States.
4. State-of-the-Art Production Room
Like any good orchestra, you need a good conductor. Luckily, Mercedes-Benz Stadium has one of the best.
While fans are enjoying the game from their seats, directly underneath them the lifeblood of the stadium will be pumping out graphics, dynamic hits for partners and even monitoring the security cameras throughout the building.
Powered by the Ross "Tessera" system, the game day producers now have the ability to have the content animated in real time versus having to go into After Effects and export the animation, thus creating a seamless and slick process from start to finish.
5. The Stadium App
In an effort to drive the complete fan experience, AMBSE partnered with IBM to create a stadium app that aims at expediting answers to questions from fans, helping them get around the stadium and allowing them to manage all of their food and beverage purchases.
The coolest part of the app is the integration of a A.I. based bot named after Falcons owner Arthur Blank.
The "Ask Arthur" bot will be able to answer questions ranging from where a specific food item is to what Julio Jones' stats are.
If the bot can't answer a question, it has the capability to then transfer the fan or user to a live team member who will answer the question for them.
Talk about a streamlined experience.
Complete with a fan first pricing model, fan picked foods and a fan experience that should rival every other team, it is clear that AMBSE had the most important thing in mind when it came to the construction of the stadium; the fan.

Kimi Raikkonen is looking forward to the British Grand Prix and is expecting Ferrari to do well at the track. Raikkonen won last year s race and is hoping that he can make it a repeat performance.
"We expect to be really competitive at Silverstone," Raikkonen wrote on Ferrari s website. "This week all the teams will test there ahead of the British GP: I'll drive on Thursday after Felipe has tested two days. I like the track and I have fond memories of it: it's good to come here with a car that can fight for the win.â€
Raikkonen also explained that the team were still unsure what caused the exhaust failure on his car last weekend a fault which saw him surrender the lead of the race to his team-mate.
"I have to admit it has never been better to see the chequered flag," Raikkonen continued. "Once again we proved you should never give up.
"The team still don't know exactly what happened. They will do some tests, but it's difficult to find an answer without the exhaust pipe and with an engine that has been under stress like that for half of the race.
"Obviously I'm sorry that I didn't win a race where everything went well in the beginning. We have to look at the positive aspects: the team did great work and I gained eight points, although I had a problem, which could have made me retire. And now I'm closer to the top than I was after Canada.
"It's a hard championship with four drivers close together. We're not even half way through the season and there are still loads of points to gain. Last year at this point I was 20 points behind."

There are times in our lives when we may think, here we go again…
- This can be Sunday night, in anticipation of Monday morning schedules.
- This can be when someone in your family brings up an old, embarrassing story.
- This can be the obvious reminder – when clothes are piled up beyond the limits of the basket – to do laundry.
- This can be looking in the fridge and seeing that we are out of milk, eggs and bread – or half and half, hummus and pita.
- This can be forgetting to empty the lunchbox, and realizing the warm ice packs won't do today's lunch very much good at all.
- This can be Friday afternoon, getting ready for the weekend.
- This can be two weeks before Memorial Day, getting ready for the summer.
- This can be 7 days to Mother's Day and wondering what mom will love more than anything.
Life repeats itself for a reason. Being at the point of – here we go again – is a good thing, no matter what.
~ Dawn aka Hat Girl

§ Mr. Clark Hutchisonasked the Minister Labour whether he will consult both parties in the dispute between the Scottish 6W Co-operative Wholesale Society and the National Union of Bank Employees over retrospective payments, with a view to urging their acceptance of the award made by the independent Chairman of the Conciliation Board.
§ Mr. HareAccording to my information the independent Chairman of the Conciliation Board has not made an award. Under the Board's constitution he is not able to do so unless both parties agree that he should do so, and on this occasion the Society did not so agree.
I have not been asked to help, but my officers are available should either party wish for their services.

Poppy pinks and dreamy fantasies are merged with the brutal and mature themes history has created within the fan-titled "Barbenheimer" hype. Visual differences and artistic choices aside, "Barbie: The Movie" and "Oppenheimer" both display the effects of patriarchy and its harm to society.
Beginning with Barbie: she's classically regarded as an empowering figure for young girls nationwide and shows them they can be anything. With the uprising of feminist beliefs, Barbie has begun to be considered a harmful stereotype by advertising unhealthy consumerism, unrealistic beauty standards, and sexualization of women. Greta Gerwig, Director of "Barbie: The Movie," has incorporated both the intentions and controversies revolving around Barbie within the movie, while including the unifying trauma of womanhood in today's society.
"Barbie: The Movie" portrays Stereotypical Barbie (played by Margot Robbie) living in harmony in Barbieland, alongside the other Barbies and Kens, until she begins gaining cellulite and intrusive thoughts of death. Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) and Barbie then travel to the real world to settle things with the little girl causing these happenings while Ken gains knowledge on historical and modern patriarchy. With this newfound knowledge, Ken returns and teaches his findings to the other Kens, and rebrands the land to Kendom. Barbie and her new human friends help reclaim Barbieland by helping the Barbies regain a sense of stability in the process. Once the reign of Ken crumbles, Ken and the others go through similar character development with the help of the Barbies.
To support this rendition of womanliness, Gerwig visualized a collage of videos depicting influential women submitted by the staff behind the production as Billie Eilish's song "What Was I Made For?" played in the background, while Barbie contemplates her essence. This moment in the show left several valuing their femininity and deflecting the standards held for women in civilization today. Many critics mistake this film for being "anti-male" when, in nature, it's "anti-patriarchy." Defining this as "anti-male," the story would have quit after defeating the Kens, but instead, he gains an arc that helps him find stability without Barbie.
Meanwhile, the biopic "Oppenheimer" follows the title character Robert J. Oppenheimer and his conflicting beliefs throughout the evolution of the atomic bomb. It exhibits the backstory of young Oppenheimer and his scientific and mathematic discoveries found within Europe up to older Oppenheimer and his involvement with the sequences of World War II. Not only does it portray Oppenheimer's point of view, but it also reflects General Strauss's morals about Oppenheimer and the bomb. As the story unfolds and we learn more about Oppenheimer, the question arises of who's morally correct and who's corrupt. It's implied to the audience that they are the ones to decide who's the villain.
The fan-acclaimed "Barbenheimer" hype tie into each other in a way. "Oppenheimer" is a direct example of the damage patriarchy causes, while "Barbie: The Movie" ceases the patriarchy in a fun, campy way. Both motion pictures leave the audience self-reflecting, whether it be their morals or identity. In the end, it comes down to personal preferences.

Traditional Holidays Riverwest Style
Holidays are about traditions … ways of celebration that gain meaning over years of repetition. We wondered what traditions the natives of Riverwest hold dear. Whatever they were, we knew they would be unique and colorful, like Riverwesters themselves. We put out a request for brief descriptions of holiday routines, and here, in no particular order, are what we received …
Milwaukee Antique Center Closing
People of all sorts wander through, ogling potential valuables from baseball cards and Star Wars figurines to vinyl records and bar taps.

If you have ever coded on JavaScript, you must have encountered the keyword "this". this is a point of confusion for most JavaScript developers.
It has no fixed rule, but that does not mean that it cannot be understood right? 😁😁
Now, let's go straight to the point, shall we??
In this article, we shall dive into the keyword "this" in JavaScript simplifying it in a dummy way.
What is "this"
In the English language "this" means indicating something or someone nearby. this refers to the immediate environment (something nearby)
Example: When am in my house and I say "this book belongs to me" you can see that am referring to a book close by (my house) i.e either on the table or on the shelf - Something on my immediate environment. But if I go to the library and make the same statement "this book belongs to me" this also refers to something close by (the library, not my house)
From the above example, you can see that "this" depends on the invocation context.
The same rules apply in JavaScript.
In JavaScript "this" refers to a reference in an object and that object represents the current execution scope. By current execution scope; the value of "this" depends on the invocation in which you have used it. i.e it depends on where you write it.
When used alone or inside a regular function (without an object) by default this refers to the window (i.e the global object)
What is the window? the window contains all sorts of different properties we use in JavaScript and when we defined a function. It is added as a property in the window object.
In a method **"this" refers to the object the method lives in.** i.e "this" references the objects. Before we go further, what is a method? Simply put, "when we add a function to an object, it is called a method". There are built-in methods in JavaScript like "toUpperCase()", "toLowerCase()" etc. but the method am talking about here, are the method we create by ourselves by adding a function to an object.
From the code above and Output, we could see that "this" in a method refers to the object the method lives in i.e myInfo object. So when we called the method myInfo.fullName(), the fullName print out "Joshua Onwuemene", which is a property inside the myInfo object.
So, here Is a little hack over it.
If there is something to the left i.e objectName.functionName(this is a method) and you are executing the function "this", "this" will be set to what is on the left, which is the objectName. (myInfo.fullName(), here "this" was set to myInfo ) But if there is nothing to the left, this will be set to the global execution scope (i.e the window).
More example
From the above code we console.log "this" in line 8, to see the output it will give us and we could see that it showed us the myInfo object. This was to prove that "this" is representing the object, and when we called myInfo.fullName() it gave us "Joshua Onwuemene", look at our next method there; myInfo.myBio(). We could see that "this" is referencing the myInfo object. Check the output at myInfo.myBio() to see what we have.
const myName = this.fullName() means "this" is making reference to the fullName() function which is inside the myInfo object which means We have access to the data in my fullName() function which is "Joshua Onwuemene" in the myBio() function. and when we (console.log(${myName} is a ${whatIDo}, a technical-writer, a WordPress developer and a lover of a great books
) we got the desired output which is "Joshua Onwuemene is a front-end developer, a technical-writer, a wordpress developer and a lover of great books".
When using Arrow function, "this" won't work as a method on an object, because it does not refer to the object, it refers to the window.
When we console.log(this) in the college() arrow function, we see that it refers to the window. This is because arrow function does not have its own "this", it references the window which is why we can't access the data in myName.
In some situations, it is better to use. i.e is an advantage when dealing with nested functions and callbacks but not good in defining methods.
From the result, it is undefined right? Let's console the value of "this" to see the output. When we console the value of "this" before the callback function it refers to the result object. Let's console the value of "this" in the callback function
From the output, the value of "this" refers to the global scope (window) but why? Because it is taking the callback function as a standalone function which refers to the window by default, not as a method. We resolve this by adding an arrow function. The arrow function will take the value of its parent "this", which in our case is the "this" before the callback function.
By using an arrow function it has inherited the "this" of the parent container which is showResult(). By doing this we can then access nameOfStudent and assign the scores to Joshua.
Let's console the value of "this" in the callback function to get a better understanding of what "this" is referencing to now.
From the output, we can see that it is referencing the object.
In conclusion, "this" is not set in stone. "this" references the object that is executing the current function. i.e it depends on its invocation context.

You've been running your online business for a while now, or maybe you're just starting out, but it's going how you hoped.
You try to market your business, but you're not exactly sure what to do. Planning would be great, but you're not sure what to plan, or how?
Trying to be consistent, you pump out content for a week or two, then disappear again. Traction is illusive.
You've sent a few emails, even tried an ad or two, but you're talking to no one. Your content just isn't landing.
Your efforts tend to amount to a few random social posts and a bi-annual newsletter, that no one seems to read anyway.

Within 24 hours of putting my newly created marketing message on my website, I had my FIRST EVER discovery call booked! I gained so much knowledge and immediately saw results.
I've worked with many coaches over the years, but Cass is the ONLY one who really supported my business. Other coaches were a waste of time & money. She helped me launch my program and a new product, and walked me through all the tech step by step. Working with Cass I became really clear about my program, learnt the tech to create it, and launch it. We also launched my subscription box and affiliate program. I'm so grateful for Cass's monthly mentoring!
If you get the opportunity to work with Cass, you should take it! She gave me new ideas and helped me craft marketing that works. She always focused on what was achievable for me, with family in mind. Cass could see why my sales funnel wasn't converting and helped me craft a new launch process. I have clear direction now and I know what to do next. There is no one else I'd go to for marketing strategy in our industry!
What are the course dates?
Marketing Mastery from 2024 will be a 16 week program – 12 weeks of live trainings and 1:1 Group Implementor Calls PLUS an additional month in the pop up Facebook group, PLUS a bonus Group Implementor Call one month after we finish.
Marketing Mastery is currently earmarked to run ONCE in 2024.
I need details - dates, times, commitment hours?
Sure! I'm a details person too 😉 Let me tell you how Marketing Mastery runs. The sessions are delivered live, with replays available within 24hours. There is an online learning platform you'll have access to, that will house the replays, workbooks, templates, calendars & any bonus material. The prep work is already loaded into the platform, you can access this as soon as you pay.
Course Delivery: Live trainings (modules detailed above) happen one evening per week, 2024 program is yet to be set, but likely will be a Wednesday evening. These sessions run for an 45-60mins with an opportunity for questions at the end. Session are recorded & replays available within 24 hours in the online portal.
Implementation Calls: implementation calls are group 1:1 sessions with me, that you can attend when/if you feel the need. Everyone who needs help can come to these calls, and I answer your specific questions in order of who arrived first etc.
In these sessions I can help you with any specifics relating to our marketing content. Need help with your message? Confused by social media? Not sure what marketing message to use? Jump on one of the implementation calls and I can help you.
Implementation calls happen once per week usually Thursdays at 10am (subject to change each cohort, based on student availability). Should you have questions and be unable to make it, there will be a questions thread in the Facebook group.
Time Commitment: the live trainings are 45-60 minutes each and the Implementor Calls are 60mins. As every session is recorded and uploaded to the online portal, you don't have to attend live to all sessions, however I do encourage you to come live as often as possible, so you can ask your specific questions.
What is the program format?
Every session is delivered live on a zoom call, recorded, and uploaded to the online learning portal. You'll get login access to this portal when you sign up. All materials, resources, templates and replays will be housed here. You will have lifetime access.
From 2024 there will be 1 live training every week, on different areas of marketing.
Each week there will be 1 group implementor call per week, for you to get help and support. This is not a training call and there is no new content. These calls are for you to receive help, so you only need attend if you need help or want to clarify something.
A month after the end of the program we have a bonus one hour group implementor session, for additional support. The point of this session is to give you a month to implement what you've learned, and come back with questions or queries.
What if I can't make the dates?
Attending the Training Calls live is best if you can, but if you can't, the replays will be in the online learning platform within 24 hours.
There are multiple Implementation Calls throughout the program and I recommend you try to attend as many as possible. These may not be recorded, due to the confidential aspect of the business content (other people's businesses) we may be discussing.
How long do I have access for?
You have lifetime access to the course, all the training replays, all workbooks, templates.
Be aware you will not have access to implementation calls if you don't attend in person, as these are not always recorded for privacy reasons.
Are their refunds?
No as a digital program with lifetime access, there are no refunds for any reason. Please ensure you are happy with this before purchase.
What is the investment?
This is the most affordable marketing training you can do! The pricing for the next delivery will be released early in 2024. The program is DOUBLING in length in 2024, to give you extra time to complete the modules, as well as additional content.
You can choose to pay this upfront and receive a FREE 1:1 1 hour Strategy Session with me, where I can give you very specific advice regarding your business marketing.
You can also pay by payment plan, there are weekly, fortnightly and monthly options. Payment plan participants do not receive the FREE 1:1 Strategy Session.
Pricing quoted here is ex gst and in Australia dollars. GST will be applied during checkout.
What format are the modules?
Each module it taught live – they are not pre recorded. Some modules have a workbook or other resources, but not every module. This program is about taking action so there is 100% no fluff! We get straight to the point and leave you each session with specific action steps. Unlike other courses that are padded out and make you wait months to finish and be able to start implementing, this program is designed to be easily and immediately implemented.
Why is this program now 12 weeks when it used to be 6?
Marketing Mastery is structured as an intensive live implementor program. We get in, get it done, and start getting you results. However throughout 2023 I realised two things… one was I needed to add more modules, to cover everything. The second thing, was that you needed more time. So from 2024 the program will be 12 weeks of live training, followed by a month to catch up, ending with a bonus implementor call a month later. So all up we'll work together for 16 weeks.
Dates for 2024 are yet to be released.

The Hopkinton School Committee's 3-2 vote to become the first Massachusetts community to lift the mask requirement for COVID-19 vaccinated students and staff for a three-week trial period in November has brought forth a range of opinions from both inside and outside the community.
Superintendent Carol Cavanaugh recommended to the School Committee at its Oct. 21 meeting that a trial period at Hopkinton High School be instituted before the holiday season. The indoor school mask requirement would be lifted from Nov. 1-19, with a return to the previous policy resuming on Nov. 22.
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) announced Oct. 26 that the indoor mask requirement policy for schools with a vaccination rate under 80 percent for students and staff will remain in place until at least Jan. 15.
"It's so interesting where people are," Cavanaugh said in an interview with The Independent. "They're all over the place."
While she said that some people are "vehemently opposed" to the new policy, others are "really supportive of this, and some people are tentative about it."
Cavanaugh said she thought about considering a trial period when one of the School Committee members mentioned it to her after the previous School Committee meeting, when lifting the mask requirement first was discussed.
"That's what got me thinking about it," she explained. "It just felt like the period before the holiday was a nice, quiet time to try it. I feel like it was a nice, cautious approach, and the timing was a cautious approach.
Said Cavanaugh: "When I originally applied for the off-ramping waiver, it really was just to give us latitude."
Added Cavanaugh: "One thing that I want to make clear is that lifting a mask mandate is different from unmasking. When you lift a mask mandate, people have options. I think that language clarification is very important for people."
She also made clear that the School Committee, in its vote, has the option to reverse the policy change should there be a spike in cases.
Timing was a key factor in her decision, she noted, because it is before the Thanksgiving holiday but after most of the fall sports seasons have concluded. Last year during the holiday season, people began traveling, which brought forth concerns about people contracting COVID-19 in places considered hot spots and having to quarantine. A trial period before the holiday season would allow for observation and data collection to see if any cases are contracted during that window.
During the first two months of this school year, only two HHS students contracted the coronavirus, and those were breakthrough cases in vaccinated students, Cavanaugh said.
At the Oct. 21 School Committee meeting, it was announced that the town's vaccination rate was over 95 percent, and the rate for individuals between age 16-19 was 98 percent.
"I had a conversation with one of the School Committee members [recently]," she said, "and we are in agreement that we'll probably never ever have a vaccination rate this high again. I think that right now, because of this amazing response to the virus, we've got a vaccination rate that is off the charts. DESE was astounded when they saw 98 percent."
There also are three days off in November during the trial period: a professional development day on Election Day (Nov. 2), the town's first recognition of Diwali (Nov. 4) and Veterans Day (Nov. 11). These would limit in-school exposure, she added.
Cavanaugh also noted the input of the student council members on the School Committee, who indicated that they "felt like they did the right thing in response to the virus" by getting vaccinated.
"The kids, if we ask them to do something, they just typically do it," she said. "They're just good kids. I think our kids just know the rules."
Cavanaugh also responded to a press release from the Hopkinton Teachers Association criticizing the decision being made without first seeking the input of educators. She said there is a memorandum of agreement with the HTA.
"That agreement said that if we were thinking about taking advantage of the off-ramping, we would certainly let them know," she explained. "And we have done that. We had a meeting with them in anticipation with the decision last week, and we [had] a meeting with them [Oct. 26]. We have an ongoing dialogue with them."
HTA expresses concerns
Becky Abate, the head of the Hopkinton Teachers Association, clarified that the administration and School Committee members did meet with the HTA before the School Committee meeting. However, she said that she was told that this was "an educational policy, rather than a health and safety issue."
"If it is considered an educational policy, they said that they don't have to negotiate with us," she said, noting that the HTA currently has 350 members. "They did tell us what they planned on doing but said that they didn't have to negotiate with us."
Since that time, there were multiple meetings during the last week of October to iron out teachers' lingering issues.
"First and foremost, we want to be sure that teachers who have medical conditions that would require additional precautions in the classroom, that those precautions be required," Abate said. "There are some people whose doctors have told them they need to be around people who are masked, or to avoid being around people who are unmasked. There are some teachers in the high school who have some conditions that would make it difficult for them to be around unmasked students — especially 100 unmasked students on a daily basis."
Her hope is that students would wear masks in classrooms where teachers have health risks, because teachers work in close proximity to their students.
An enforcement policy for non-vaccinated students was another issue.
"There was no enforcement policy up until [Oct. 28]," she said. "We're optimistic that we will have a plan for that."
Abate added that a big concern of the HTA is the feeling that the trial period was rushed.
"There were really no parameters set," she said regarding the number of COVID-19 cases contracted during the trial period that would lead to its being rescinded. "Is it five cases? Is that enough? Or does it need to be 20 or 100? Those things have not really been hammered out. And when HTA asked, we never really got any clear response."
Timing is crucial because the new policy went into effect Monday.
"The School Committee's vote was not unanimous," Abate said, noting the 3-2 split that occurred after much civil but emotional debate. "It's not like it's a very large governing body. Their decision is going to impact 1,000 people or more. And it's really not just the high school community; it's the Hopkinton community and the school community as well."
She added that there is an assumption that kids want to remove their masks. Also, unvaccinated students could also succumb to "implicit peer pressure" and remove their masks.
"If they are the only person who wants to wear a mask, they are likely not to wear the mask," she explained.
Abate said that "both sides are trying, and we're making headway."

Labor and State Departments promise fair practices for H-2B visa program participants.
The Departments of Labor and State issued the "Guidance on Fair Recruitment Practices for Temporary Migrant Workers" as part of the commitment of the president's administration at the Summit of the Americas. The departments expect these guidelines to close loopholes in the H-2A and H-2B visa programs that have allowed Central and South American migrants to be overworked and underpaid by employers.
"This collaborative effort by the Departments of Labor and State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development will help protect prospective workers in the H-2A and H-2B programs from abuse," said Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh. "The guidance announced today is intended to increase transparency and regulation of H-2A and H-2B worker recruitment programs and safeguard workers' fundamental rights."
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the Labor and State officials as they seek to protect migrant labor from exploitation.
- For migrant workers living in the U.S. on H-2B visas.

The global water heater market stood at USD 32.56 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% during the period 2024-2032.
Read more about this report - REQUEST FREE SAMPLE COPY IN PDF
Demand for hot water from commercial and residential sectors is expected to boost market growth. Hot water is required for several applications including cleaning, washing, cooking, patient hygiene (in hospitals), etc. In recent years, the market has witnessed increased demand for more advanced and sophisticated water heating systems. Tankless water heaters are more popular in terms of residential applications, but witnessing increased interest in small commercial buildings, like diners and eating joints. However, such units are more common in larger central systems in bigger structures. Technologically advanced tankless water heaters are expected to drive the market during the period 2024-2032 due to advantages such as increased efficiency, extended life, reduced time to dispense hot water, less required space, and increased safety.
China, Mexico, Italy, Germany, and USA were the key exporters of electric instant, storage and immersion water heaters in 2019. Chief importers of electric instant, storage and immersion water heaters in 2019 were USA, France, Germany, United Kingdom, and Spain.
In Europe, air to water (ATW) heat pumps is a significant market. In France, sanitary hot water or cylinder-integrated ATW heat pumps are in considerable demand. According to analyst reports, 2017 witnessed decreased growth, but sales of hot water heat pumps rose in 2018 with an overall growth of over 13%. In the USA, sales of cylinder-integrated electric storage heat pump water heater (HPWH) units increased to nearly 70000 pieces yearly in 2017-2018, which accounted for over 1.9% of the overall yearly electric storage water heater sales. Air-to-water heat pumps have witnessed significant growth in China.
India, China, Japan, and South Korea are the key markets in Asia. The Eco Cute hot water heat pump, which utilizes CO2 as refrigerant, has witnessed significant success in the previous decade. The considerable growth was seen as an outcome of the "Introduction Subsidy Scheme" implemented by the Japanese Government in 2002 to subsidize a portion of the cost to introduce heat pump water heaters. While the scheme is not currently in force, it is seen as a best-practice policy suitable to be followed by other national marketplaces. South Korea, although a relative newcomer to the market, is looking to grow in the heat pump market.
Heat pump water heaters do not directly generate heat, rather, utilize electricity to move heat between two points. Therefore, such heaters can be significantly more energy efficient as compared to standard electric resistance water heaters. While heat pump water heater systems might usually entail higher initial cost than standard storage water heaters, the higher acquisition and installation costs could be offset by lower operating costs.
In China, household device brands including Midea, Haier, A.O. Smith, etc. are prominent brands in the Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) water heater segment. The segment is seen as one with significant growth potential. According to analyst reports, heat pumps (particularly ASHPs) are expected to grow in market size to over 15% by 2040. Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWHs) have also gained prominence owing to their capacity to offer considerably more heat while using the same quantity of electricity as that consumed by standard electric storage water heaters. Several reputed water heating manufacturers have rolled out models, and by 2017-2018, HPWH consignments stood at over 69000 (average), with the projected market penetration of approximately over 1.9%.
Companies like Bradford White strive to create innovative, sophisticated, high-performance and reliable products that offer increased energy-efficiency and are environmentally friendly. Such efforts indicate consumers' preference for products that improve quality of life while saving energy and not damaging the environment. The company's offerings include models AeroTherm® Heat Pump Water Heater, Infiniti® K Series tankless water heaters and eF Series® gas water heaters – which the company claims are designed to save energy and money.
Similarly, Daikin offers heat pumps delivering cost-effective heating solutions for residential and commercial settings. The company claims that connecting solar collectors to heat pump systems may further enhance efficiency and savings.

NEW YORK (AP) — Four Brooklyn Nets players have tested positive for the new coronavirus, bringing the total to seven known players in the NBA.
The team announced Tuesday that one player is exhibiting symptoms, while the other three are asymptomatic. All four players have been isolated and are under the care of team physicians.
The Nets added that all players and members of their travel party are being asked to remain isolated and closely monitor their health.
Kevin Durant Tests Positive for Coronavirus
"The health of our players and staff is of the highest priority to the organization and the team is doing everything within its power to ensure that those affected receive the best care possible," the Nets added in a statement.
Brooklyn last played on March 10 in Los Angeles, beating the Lakers. The Nets were then to face the Golden State Warriors two nights later in San Francisco — a game that was to be played without fans — before the NBA season was suspended after Utah's Rudy Gobert tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.
Jazz teammate Donovan Mitchell and Detroit's Christian Wood are the other players who have tested positive.
The Nets said they are currently notifying anyone who has had known contact with the players, including recent opponents, and working closely with state and local health authorities on reporting.
4 Brooklyn Nets Players Test Positive
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus.

Above and beyond their political purposes, parties were just plain fun.
Photo credit: Cleveland Museum of Art |
Despite the frequency and extravagance of Renaissance court festivals, however, they are difficult to document. Parties are, after all, ephemeral things: the food is consumed, the decorations discarded, the music fades away. Before the invention of photography, it was impossible to capture such events in real time. Modern historians must rely on written memories and rare artifacts as they attempt to reconstruct the look, activity, and tenor of celebrations at the Renaissance court.
A current exhibition at the Château of Fontainebleau, the primary residence of François I and a favorite of his son Henri II and grandson Henri III, attempts to recreate the Renaissance celebration for modern-day visitors. L'Art de la fête à la cour des Valois, which runs through July 4, presents over one hundred works, many lent from international collections, in an attempt to capture these festivals in all their splendor and document the extensive behind-the-scenes preparation that glory required.
Organized by curators Oriane Beaufils and Vincent Droguet, the exhibit includes paintings, tapestries, parade armor, costume sketches and commemorative pamphlets from celebrations across several reigns. From the most solemn to the most extravagant, Renaissance celebrations were living, moving, breathing works of art that sprouted from the ingenuity of some of the greatest artists of the time: Rosso Fiorentino, Francesco Primaticcio, Robert Delorme, Antoine Caron, and poet Pierre de Ronsard. The collected works at Fontainebleau resurrect the decorations, program, and costumes of some of the Valois court's most magnificent events.
Masquerade balls were central to Valois celebrations. Sketches of costumes designed by court artist Primaticcio for events like the festivities surrounding Emperor Charles V's state visit to Fontainebleau in 1539 (I blogged about that here) survive to this day.
Photo credit: Musée du Louvre |

In order to recreate the feel of the fête for modern visitors, the Château engaged the costume workshop of nearby Disneyland Paris to render two of Primaticcio's sketches into life-sized garments. These faithful, fanciful costumes stand on display in the Château's ballroom, site of so many Valois parties. If you can't make it to the salle de bal in person, you can view the recreated costumes here, courtesy of La République de Seine-et-Marne.
Scribeaccroupi.fr, a French art history site, has an excellent written preview of the exposition, as well as an engaging short film animated by Oriane Beaufils herself. Her enthusiasm for the subject is palpable.
As much as I'd love to view the exposition in person, I must content myself with the printed catalogue, which I expect to arrive next week. I'll share about it soon. In the meantime....
Party on!
(You can find more about the exhibit on Twitter under the hashtags #PartyLikeaValois and #FeteAFontainebleau.)

If trees made music..
Sotavento is an artistic sound abstraction of the passionate and endless relationship between millions of trees and one single, inexorable wind, a wind that we all share. We establish an Internet-based, real-time movement communication between moving trees located in different countries. The trees' "dance" is tracked down by two dual-axis accelerometers, each fixed to the tip of a branch. We use the complex branch movements to generate or to trigger sounds. In this installation a tree is a self-replicant sound maker of its own dance. The audience can perceive the relation between the "dance" of the tree and the music it produces. Even is there is no wind, the tree in Mexico can "ask" (via Internet) for movements to a tree in Italy and generate its sounds with this information. The sounds are to be listened thanks to a set of four speakers installed around the tree.
Sotavento – Link.

Hey really funky what you're doing…how does it sounds like? …any interest to hook up with an australian tree? I'm an italian studying music technology in Adelaide.

As I write this blog post, a 10-week-old pittie puppy is curled up on my feet, snoring. I look down and smile, momentarily distracted by her adorable wrinkles, enormous feet that are far too big for her body, and the random white patches on her toes and forehead. I laugh at the way her forehead wrinkles, giving her a permanent expression of concern even as she sleeps peacefully. I resist the urge to put aside my work to take a quick snuggle break and pull myself out of the intoxicating cute puppy vortex.
This sweet puppy is only a visitor, which is why I want to soak up all our moments together. Soon, I will pack up her belongings and take her to meet a kind family who will more than likely fall in love with her as I have. I will tell them everything I've come to learn about this sweet pooch in the short time we've shared together and will make sure to give them her favorite stuffed toy that she sleeps with every night. Then, I will bend down to kiss my sweet girl's forehead for the last time as I tell her I love her and that she is going to have the life she deserves with her new family. I'll watch her family pick her up, get in their car, and drive off to start their new life together. A few tears will roll down my cheek, but they will be happy tears. Another pet saved, but so many more are in need.
Fostering a pet is an extremely rewarding experience, and I'm sharing my story to encourage you to explore becoming a pet foster. Whether you would like to foster a pet yourself or have clients who may be interested, we need to spread the word about this life-saving opportunity for animals who need homes. After learning about the process and being connected with an animal rescue, many people who have never considered the role have become extraordinary, lifelong fosters. I hope these five good reasons for fostering a pet will inspire and encourage you to make everyone aware of this life-saving opportunity, and perhaps become a foster yourself.
#1: Save two lives by creating more space
When you take a shelter animal into your home, you create space for another pet in need of refuge. Every pet in a shelter requires the facility's time and resources. When you foster, you help the animal shelter stretch those resources further.
#2: Shelter pets thrive in a home environment
An animal can feel frightened and stressed in the shelter environment. They aren't able to let down their guard and show their true personality. However, a foster home provides a calm, predictable environment where a pet can relax and let their personality shine, which provides potential adopters a better sense of an animal's needs, setting up a pet with a good match for a successful adoption.
#3: Test the waters before adopting a pet
Adopting a pet is a big decision and a lifelong commitment. If you're interested in adopting a pet, but want to make sure you are ready, fostering allows you to test the waters and gain experience caring for a pet before you commit.
#4: Enjoy a pet without a long-term commitment
If you aren't in a position to adopt a pet but still want to spend time with an animal, fostering allows you to experience the fun and enjoy a pet's companionship without making a long-term commitment. Most shelters and animal rescue organizations can accommodate a foster who has limited availability, which may include taking care of a pet short-term, such as for a few months or just for the weekend.
#5: Pet fostering is easier than you think
While fostering requires patience and commitment, accepting this role is usually easier than most people think. Some people mistakenly assume that every shelter pet has behavioral or medical problems. However, this belief couldn't be further from the truth. Pets end up in shelters for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with them, such as an owner's disability or death. Don't worry that you won't be able to handle fostering a pet, because shelters and animal rescue groups are experienced in finding good matches between pets in need and potential fosters, especially when you clearly express your expectations about the type of pet that would do best in your home.
Every pet I have fostered has taught me something valuable, and while the role is not always easy, I am continually inspired and grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the life of a pet.
Our Rumpus Writing and Editing team comprises pet fosters, pet parents, pet professionals, and pet writers. We think that talented writers and passionate pet lovers create the best content. Contact our team to learn how we can help you with your blogs, social media, and other content.

Gallery Gardens
Gallery Gardens is part of a wider masterplan for the Manchester Gardens area within Castlefield. This scheme forms the final and important piece of the De Trafford Manchester Gardens Masterplan, which sees the redevelopment of 6 brownfield sites located at the edge of the Castlefield Conservation area. Assembled over 8 years it will provide some 920 new dwellings with commercial and retail offerings arranged as a pedestrian focussed environment around a new public square.
De Trafford Estates Group
jmarchitects were appointed to design the latest piece in the wider Manchester Gardens masterplan. The prominent site bound by Chester Road, Hulme Hall Road and Ellesmere Street sits adjacent to the Castlefield Conservation area and along one of the main arterial routes into Manchester City Centre. The proposal by jmarchitects was informed by the parameters set by a pervious draft scheme for the site, whilst making improvements in terms of massing and unit numbers. The brief was to create a strong landmark to mark the gateway to the overall DeTrafford Masterplan, whilst providing robust detailing to further enhance the buildings heritage setting.
The proposal is formed from two buildings, with a new route between the two buildings, providing views toward the Grade II* St Georges Church. Block A is a horseshoe shaped footprint comprising between 8, 10 and 12 storeys. Block B is a linear building of 14 and 18 storeys with a commercial unit in the base on the corner of Chester Road and Hulme Hall Road. Both buildings have a range of one and two bedroom apartments, with three bedroom penthouses located in the top of Block B.
The articulation of the elevations was designed as a response to the industrial heritage on the north side of Ellesmere Street. Two complimentary brick types are the main material for the buildings, with the higher 18 storey element of Block B being clad in metal to signify the importance of this strategic gateway. The form of the elevations are designed with a strongly expressed geometric grid to bring the historic Mills of the area into the 21st century, whilst creating bold, yet subtle and finely detailed façade treatment.
One of the defining characteristics of this scheme, as with all DeTrafford developments, is the roof gardens masterplan which incorporates utilised roofs accessible to residents with a multitude of possible functions and uses. The roof garden masterplan concept consists of the provision of varying uses across all of DeTrafford's buildings, whereby each roof has a specific function ranging from entertainment, business and relaxation provision.
Full Planning was secured in May 2020.
