Internal quantum efficiency of AlGaN/AlN quantum dot superlattices for electron-pumped ultraviolet sources
In this paper, we describe the growth and characterization of $\approx$530 nm thick superlattices (100 periods) of Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N/AlN (0 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 0.1) Stranski–Krastanov quantum dots (QDs) for application as the active region of electron-beam pumped ultraviolet lamps. Highly dense (>10$^{11}$cm$^{−2}$) QD layers are deposited by molecular beam epitaxy, and we explore the effect of the III/V ratio during the growth process on their optical performance. The study considers structures emitting in the 244–335 nm range at room temperature, with a relative linewidth in the 6%–11% range, mainly due to the QD diameter dispersion inherent in self-assembled growth. Under electron pumping, the emission efficiency remains constant for acceleration voltages below $\approx$9 kV. The correlation of this threshold with the total thickness of the SL and the penetration depth of the electron beam confirms the homogeneity of the nanostructures along the growth axis. Below the threshold, the emission intensity scales linearly with the injected current. The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) is characterized at low injection, which reveals the material properties in terms of non-radiative processes, and high injection, which emulates carrier injection in operation conditions. In QDs synthesized with III/V ratio <0.75, the IQE remains around 50% from low injection to pumping power densities as high as 200 kW cm$^{−2}$, being the first kind of nanostructure that present such stable behaviour.

Rainy Night Beef Stew
A cold rainy night begs for a warm rich beef stew. The aromas of seared meat and simmering wine fill the house. There's some work on the front end, and then the magic happens during the hours-long simmer. Pair it with grits or rice, and you've got a stick-to-your-bones supper. That's how I would start my cooking show. I would have my arms casually outstretched across the sleek marble island of my stark white modern kitchen with its stainless steel appliances, whimsical Alessi accessories and one white orchid that one of my "people" feeds two ice cubes every week to keep it gorgeous. My hair would be perfect, and my makeup would look effortless - especially the lavender tinted pink lip gloss that took hours to blend into that color you see on the cover of every fashion magazine but can never master at home. My celebrity friends would make appearances to hock their movies and Netflix series while "acting" like we were cooking together. They would toss their movie star heads back as their shiny quaffs cascaded across their shoulders and exclaim that they just don't know how I do it. I would have Julia Childs' self-deprecating humor, Nigella Lawson's sex appeal and Ina Garten's Hamptons-chic sensibility. And everyone would want to be me.
In reality, keeping up with this blog is kind of a bitch. I love writing, and particularly writing a narrative that's honest and informative. I find it cathartic and hopefully not in a navel-gazey, too-much-information kind of way. When I committed to writing my blog, I started out strong, posting once a week. But life got in the way. Last week I remembered to promote my Pumpkin Soup recipe, with great pictures on Facebook and Instagram, which felt like a win until I realized that I forgot to actually post it. So the Food Network is probably not going to be calling anytime soon. And that's ok. Because in reality - while I am leaning against our kitchen island, strewn with sections of the New York Times, a nearly empty pack of dog diapers, smudged coffee rings from abandoned cups, and crumbs from last night's dinner - I'm comfortable in my real life.
Two years into marriage I am more in love with my husband every day (yes - Jeff edited this blog), but Jeff and I are also still learning about each other. Last night we went to a gala that my PR firm promoted. Jeff was kvetching from the start and I felt a migraine coming on. But this is my job and while it wasn't a big money making event for us, it was an important fundraiser for a friend's charity. Once Jeff learned the story, he relaxed into the night. We're not gala people. We're happy at home - just the two of us, not teetering in stilettos or strapped into a suit. Just leaning against our kitchen island and eating something delicious and homemade. But we are both empaths - feeling the pain of others and showing up to support them albeit in super high heels.
The life we imagine for ourselves isn't generally the life we live. But sometimes - it's so much better than anything we could hope for. And while there won't be TV audiences clamoring for my beef stew anytime in the near future, Jeff loved it.
Rainy Night Beef Stew

RED BANK – What does it take to attract new people to church? The United Methodist Church of Red Bank (UMCRB) considered this question and has taken a bold step. After much research and planning, in September the church launched "The Village," an alternative worship service with a more contemporary, progressive feel.
With the support of a GNJ Congregational Development Grant, the Village has hired a worship leader to inspire and draw new community members with music and prayer. The Village occurs in a space with high tech lighting and audio and brand new A/V equipment for emphasizing words and imagery. The Village includes joy-filled good news songs energized with microphones, guitars, keyboards, and drums. Service attendees rise and clap their hands, unifying in excited praise, and opening themselves to understanding God's word.
Red Bank is going a step further with its concept of The Village. Traditional worship at United Methodist churches puts scripture and tradition in the forefront with a preacher interpreting the scripture from the pulpit. The Village also starts with scripture and tradition, but gives a stronger voice to the other elements of Wesley's quadrilateral: experience and reason.
"God trusts us each to discover what God's message means to us," said the church's senior pastor Rev. Jessica Naulty. "So The Village takes some of the task of discernment out of the pulpit and crowd-sources it."
After an introduction to the day's scripture, those gathered are invited to share their own experiences and apply their own reason. Together in community, this "Village" creates a broader understanding of God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and a collective mission.
"So perhaps this democratization of how we collectively come to understand God will open up a path for those who are uncertain about the value of church," Naulty stated. "Perhaps less formal, less structured worship will attract those who won't sit well through organ music and sermons."
"At UMCRB, we embrace the tough questions of faith and wrestle with what our theology really means as we live in out in our everyday lives," said Naulty. "We discovered though, that while we were really good at this in-depth reflection in our Christian education programs, we relied on the congregants to ask the questions and apply their theology on their own in worship. The conversational dimension of the sermon in our new Village service, where people dialogue together around topical questions, gives space for this progressive theological understanding – that everyone believes a little differently, sees the world through different lenses, and we all have something to learn from one another." She added, "The Word of God is truly proclaimed through the people of our Village."
Naulty added, "These collective benefits might well bring new saints into church and into the blessings of God."
According to Naulty, the church has confidence that every new person will bring something new and valuable to The Village, leave inspired, and will gain something valuable, perhaps even transformational, in return.
The Village takes place 11:00AM every Sunday at The United Methodist Church of Red Bank, 247 Broad Street, Red Bank, NJ.

Update: The teen has been identified by Crawford High School staff as 2022 graduate Woodlain Zachee-Prudhome. Read more here.
A recovery effort was underway Wednesday morning to find an 18-year-old swimmer who was pulled under the water the day before in Mission Beach.
Crews were able to rescue two struggling teen swimmers Tuesday afternoon, but the third "submerged and did not surface," San Diego Lifeguards said. After more than an hour of searching, the rescue effort became a recovery effort.
The rescue started when a lifeguard noticed three swimmers in distress near Jersey Court at the beach between towers 16 and 17 around 3:30 p.m. and alerted other lifeguards in the area. Lifeguards rescued two teens, then called for more agencies to assist.

San Diego Fire-Rescue Department's helicopter and other lifeguards joined in the rescue efforts, using personal watercraft, rescue boats, surfboards and lifeguards swimming in the water.
After 75 minutes of searching, the response team switched over to a recovery effort for the submerged teenage boy, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
The U.S. Coast Guard and lifeguards used side sonar inside the water and in the air to search for the missing boy until the sun went down, authorities said.
"Sundown ends the efforts tonight. Lifeguards will regroup in the morning," SDFD wrote on Twitter.
Crews remained on scene overnight and the recovery effort resumed at sun-up Wednesday morning.
it was not immediately clear what caused the swimmers to become in distress.
NBC 7 Meteorologist Sheena Parveen said there was a high risk of rip currents in the area at the time and waves were about 3 to 5 feet, but it was not immediately clear if weather conditions caused the swimmers to become in distress. There were no marine hazard watches or warnings in effect Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service San Diego.

LG Dancing Vacuums, Self-Clean Ovens Attack CES
Aqua Clean Enamel (ACE) coating is a breakthrough in LG oven technology, enabling automatic 'Self Cleaning' and 'Easy Cleaning' functions in its new ovens revealed today. With Easy Cleaning, the user just needs to spray water inside the oven, and then warms it up, while the Self Cleaning function uses extremely high heat to remove any traces of grime. "While some ovens with internal coating have an easy cleaning function, they are unable to cope with the heat required for effective self cleaning. By offering both Easy Cleaning and Self Cleaning functions in our latest ovens, we are adding another layer of smart convenience to consumers' lives," said Seong-jin Jo, CEO LG Home Appliance, at CES today. LG's new square (as opposed to round models currently available in OZ) robotic vacuum cleaner are also attacking CES this year. A highly trained troupe of Roboking Square units will demonstrate their maneuverability with a well-choreographed dance routine at select times over the period of the CES event. . |
The Roboking Square boasts a new Corner Master feature with improved sensors and longer brushes, promises better cleaning in hard to reach room corners and other places Ultrasonic and infrared sensors detect obstacles to avoid, while the vacuum's Dual Eye 2.0 cameras accurately scan and map rooms even when the lights are off.
"From the beginning LG jumped into this project with the realisation that consumer's rooms aren't round, they're rectangular," said Phillip Anderson, Head of PR for LG Australia. The robo vacuum uses two improved cameras (most have only one) to plot out a smarter cleaning route. |

My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.Today the special word of God for you is taken from the book of Psalms 91:10, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling,"
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, This morning the Lord is coming into your house to tell you that God is going to do away with Satan, who tries to involve you in evil ways. Since many evil things have happened in your life during the past. And evil incidents have spoiled the harmony and peace of your life, and have almost ruined your life. So hereafter no evil shall befall you neither shall any plague come near your house. God is assuring you of His promise from the word of God. God is not only coming into your house but also entering into your hearts today to remove all evil thoughts from you. God has actually protected you from all evil that was to happen in your life until yesterday. He has delivered you from all kinds of harm and danger and has preserved your life from destruction and has lifted up your head high before others. Secondly He says, No plague shall come into your house. In the past many evil things had happened in your life. You had been badly affected by People who have cast sorcery and witchcraft upon you. Divination and also black magic over you that you may become weak and never lift up your head. The works of the Devil was in operation against you. And has entered into your house and separated your family. The Devil has brought division between wife and husband. And separated you from each other. There had been misunderstanding between parents and children.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Devil had created misunderstanding among all the family members thus causing chaos and confusion in the family. God is driving out all the works of the evil one and God is rising up in the midst of your family thus bringing peace and serenity among the members of your family. In future there will be peace within your walls, and Prosperity within your palaces. Separated families will be reunited and peace will reign in the midst of the family members. Many happy events that did not take place until today for various reasons will begin to happen. God will bring out those children who are in depression and cause them to shine in their life. Just present your house in the hands of the Lord for Him to make all these things happen in your lives. God will then do great things in your life. Just as God dwelt secretly in the house of Job, and put a hedge of protection, over him and all his goods, hereafter God will dwell in your house also in a secret manner, to guard you, protect you and save you from all danger and harm.
Prayer: Lord, we thank You. Lord I bless all the children who are reading this message in the name of Jesus. Lord I pray that You will save all the children from all evil that could befall them. And whatever loss or discomfort they had incurred because of these evil happenings, I pray that you will uproot every form of evil from their lives. Let them enjoy peace, joy and happiness, and fulfillment in their lives. Let no evil come near their dwelling place, You operate them as per your plan and purpose. Let them be able to say, " It is not I who live but Christ lives in me." May they live gloriously inside their house. Unite every separated families. Help them to avoid unnecessary medical expenses. Remove all kinds of plagues that could affect them. Sprinkle the blood of Jesus over them, and their wall posts. No evil forces or enemies should turn towards them. Cause the angel of death to leave from their houses without harming them. May the Lord of all riches, remain in their homes and drive out every form of famine, financial deficit, and poverty. We thank You Lord for uprooting all sorts of unwanted issues that crop up to destroy the peace of the house. Hereafter may they receive or hear good news, and new report from afar, that would gladden their heart. Do wonders and miracles in their life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.

After thinking for a while, she thought the style of the bracelet indeed didn't suit him.
Besides, he couldn't possibly afford such an expensive bracelet that worth millions of yuan.
And an ordinary man like him couldn't recognize this kind of shell.
So it made sense if he got them while he was diving.
Su Bei looked at the bracelet carefully.
Actually, she was very satisfied with it, and it really suited her well.
When Su Bei and Lu Heting returned home, they found that Gun Gun wasn't there.
Lu Heting was a little surprised.
"Where is Gun Gun?" Su Bei asked worriedly.
"Usually, he stays at home with Aunt Chen at this time of the day." She looked confused.
"I asked Aunt Chen to take him to the amusement park.
I'll pick him up after dinner." Lu Heting slightly frowned, and a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes.
Su Bei was really tired after shooting for a whole day, so she didn't think much about it.
After dinner, she ran into the room and said, "Lu Heting, when Gun Gun comes back, let him take a shower and go to bed.
I'll take a nap first."
Looking at her back, Lu Heting picked up his phone and car keys.
Then he turned around and walked out of the house.
He drove directly to a villa and stopped at the gate.
In a lighted room, he could see Gun Gun sitting in front of the window.
Sitting next to him was a young woman.
She was whispering something to him.
Lu Heting dialed a number.
When his call was answered, he said in a cold and deep voice, "Mom, bring Lu Gecheng out."
A few moments later, Mrs.
Lu walked out of the villa with Gun Gun.
As soon as Gun Gun saw Lu Heting's car, he ran towards it quickly.
"Bei Bei, my little cutie!"
"Gun Gun, be careful! Who is that little cutie? You've been mentioning her all day long," Mrs.
Lu said gently.

These Brothers named Vihaan Agarwal (17) and his brother Nav Agarwal (14) have a mission to reduce waste pollution and plant more trees in their home city -- New Delhi.
Delhi is in the risk of pollution from almost a decade , but in the past few months, Delhi's air quality has degraded badly . The Air over there might not be good for health and can cause serious problems to lungs for the long term.
Delhi boys are doing the help which is very necessary.This comes at a time when the national capital is gasping for fresh air as AQI has dipped to 'poor' category due to increasing levels of pollution.
The Brothers Made a Project named One step further.One Step Greener, a project that started out in Delhi as a personal attempt to segregate recyclables, has now also expanded to Gurugram.
The initiative is about segregating recyclables and organising pickups for trash from thousands of homes.
Indian Nobel Peace laureate Kailash Satyarthi, a children's rights activist who won the 2014 Nobel jointly with Pakistani education campaigner Malala Yousafzai , presented the brothers with the prize run by the Dutch-based KidsRights foundation at a ceremony in The Hague.

Johnston County was created in 1740 from the western part of Craven County. The county was named after Gabriel Johnston, who was the Royal Governor in 1734--1752. The county seat is Smithfield, which was incorporated in 1777. Also in Johnston County are the towns and communities of Clayton, Selma, Benson, Kenly, Four Oaks, Pine Level, Princeton, Wilson's Mills, and Micro. Johnston County is bounded by the following counties: Wilson, Wayne, Sampson, Cumberland, Harnett, Wake, and Nash counties. From 1771-1776, the County Seat was called Johnston Court House until Smithfield was established the following year.
Changes to the County Boundary
Since it's creation, the boundary lines have changed for Johnston County. Below is a list of changes
- 1752, Orange County was created from parts of Bladen, Granville, and Johnston Counties
- 1758, Dobbs County (no longer exists), was formed from the southern part of Johnston County
- 1770, Wake County was created from the nothern part of Johnston County as well as parts of Cumberland County and Orange County
- 1777, Johnston gained from Duplin County above Dismal Creek
- 1855, Wilson County was created from parts of Edgecombe, Nash, Johnston, and Wayne Counties
Battle of Bentonville
The Battle of Bentonville was the biggest battle of the Civil War fought in North Carolina. The battle took place in Johnston County March 19-21, 1865. There were reports that Sherman's army (union) was marching toward Goldsboro. General Joseph E. Johnston, which a much smaller army, hoped to delay the troops from reaching Goldsboro and meeting up with Major General John M. Shofield's union troops that were already there. You can read more about the battle on NCpedia, the NC digital encyclopedia, a project with the State Library of North Carolina. There is also a state historic site in the town of Four Oaks.
Records and resources on other sites
I have no intention of duplicating others work, also, some original records have been put online through a collaboration of the State Library of North Carolina and the State Archives of North Carolina. Below is a list to other records online
- Tax lists of 1784 and 1815

Mosaic Brands postpones dividend after fires, virus
Retailer Mosaic Brands wants to grab a bigger share of consumers' wallets by adding beauty products and accessories to clothing stores and creating an online department store, but faces short term profit pressure from the bushfires and COVID-19.
The owner of brands including Noni B, Rivers, Katies, Millers and BeMe postponed its interim dividend and backed away from full-year profit guidance after warning the bushfires were likely to dent sales in the June-half and the coronavirus could ruin one of its biggest trading periods - Mothers Day - if new stock was delayed. The shares plunged 21 per cent to $1.42.
Chief executive Scott Evans said Mosaic sourced 85 per cent of its stock from China and had already experienced a two-week delay in deliveries of fresh stock as factories struggled to open after Chinese New Year. It was too late to source products from other markets such as India.
"It's very serious and I don't think anybody knows the full extent of what's going on," Mr Evans told The Australian Financial Review.
"We're monitoring it very carefully, as we're very concerned about Mothers Day," Mr Evans said. "Mothers Day for us is critical."
Concerns about the impact of the fires and COVID-19 overshadowed what was otherwise a solid result as the retailer managed to lift net profit 29 per cent to $12.25 million in the six months ended December 29, despite a 6 per cent fall in sales to $425.2 million.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (pre-accounting standard AASB 16) rose 12 per cent to $32.7 million as cost savings of $24 million and fatter gross margins offset operating deleverage.
This was in line with the retailer's guidance last month, when it warned EBITDA was expected to be about $33 million, compared with previous forecasts around $42 million, due to the bushfires, which hit about one in five of its stores.
As a result, same-store sales in November and December fell about 16 per cent, dragging same-store sales for the December-half down about 8 per cent. Mr Evans said the impact of the fires had continued into the second half, but demand had improved in recent weeks as new stock came in.
The interim result also included a $1 million loss from online retailer EziBuy, which Mosaic acquired from ccontrolling shareholder Alceon Group in mid-December for $11 million – 50.1 per cent now and 49.9 per cent in December next year – to accelerate online sales growth.
As a result of the bushfires and coronavirus, full-year EBITDA was likely to fall materially short of previous guidance of $75 million, Mr Evans said, and the board postponed the interim dividend until the impact had been clarified.
Otherwise, Mr Evans said Mosaic was pleased with progress during the half-year. The five brands acquired from Specialty Fashion Group in 2018 achieved comparable store growth for the first time in a number of years, until the bushfires hit, and gross margins rose to 60 per cent from 57 per cent after the retailer cut back on discounting.
Mosaic is expanding its range, adding beauty products and accessories to stores under a concession agreement, and creating an online department store which sells appliances and homewares as well as products from each of its nine brands. Noni B customers, for example are being offered silk sheets and airfryers alongside dresses and jackets.
"Shopping habits are changing and we need to recognise and understand what each customer wants from us and diversify accordingly," Mr Evans said.
Meanwhile, Mosaic's arch rival, PAS Group, which owns Black Pepper, Review, Yarra Trail and Jets and sells private-label apparel to department stores, fell $1.04 million into the red in the first half after sales fell 8 per cent to $129.8 million.
PAS chief executive Eric Morris said the coronavirus had led to reduced foot traffic in key shopping precincts and was expected to delay deliveries in its wholesale and retail businesses.

A lot of Western men dream of having a European girlfriend, and then for good reason. These types of women come with an outstanding sense of decency and respect individuals. They can be incredibly qualified and supporting partners, and they're always looking out for their good friends and https://www.ilo.org/infostories/en-GB/Stories/Employment/barriers-women family. Yet , finding a Euro girlfriend could be a challenge, especially if you're a new comer to international seeing. This article will tell you some beneficial tips about Western european women and getting your perfect match.
One thing to remember when searching for a ecu girlfriend is that Europeans don't play childish games. They avoid text you after a few times of not meeting up with you, and don't freak out when you talk about getting serious or dedication. This is because https://eurobridefinder.com/belarus-brides they have a completely different mindset when it comes to relationships.
In addition , various Europeans care more about friendship than they are in romantic associations. You might be surprised to master that the common European girl will have a big social network and a close group of friends of close friends. This makes it much simpler to build connections and build trust. Additionally, it means that the European partner is likely to be even more interested in you as a person and not just your body or funds.
Its also wise to be aware of the in online dating culture among Europe plus the US. Europeans are more likely to carry on casual date ranges, such as viewing a movie, having drinks at a bar, or going for a motorcycle ride. The reason is , they benefit their one of the striking and wish to stay in touch with their particular friends. As opposed, American going out with often involves a set of ritualized rules. For example , a man could possibly wait a few time just before calling or perhaps texting his date, and he might feel uncomfortable if the lady calls him too soon.
Another important thing to keep in mind when searching for a ecu girl is that Europeans tend to favor group days. While is actually normal with regards to Americans to go on solo appointments, Europeans wish to hang out with the romantic lovers and friends at the same time. This could make the experience more fun and thrilling, as you'll have someone to share this with.
When it comes to spending money on things over a date, it's better to let the European gal pay off than to offer to split the bill. This is because most Europeans don't anticipate their time frame to take them out for expensive meals or events, and it might seem creepy if you try to impress her with all your wealth or status. Instead, focus on building a relationship with her and enjoying your time and energy together. As you prepare to move on to the next level, you can always ask her in the event that she'd decide to join you for dinner or perhaps drinks with your friends. This will likely be a great way to get to know her better and see in the event that she's one for you. If you're continue to uncertain, you can always look at additional profiles and begin sending her messages.

Macroeconomic Challenges Fail to Dampen Growth Trajectory of Africa's Smartphone Market
For more information, contact:- Sheila Manek (smanek) Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Phone number: +971 4 391 2741
Johannesburg – Africa's smartphone market has remained resilient in the face of macroeconomic challenges, high inflation, and forex issues, with shipments increasing 12.8% year on year in Q3 2023 to reach 20.1 million units. That's according to the latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker from International Data Corporation (IDC), which also reveals that feature phone shipments decreased 5.1% over the same period to total 23.1 million units.
"Egypt witnessed the continent's most substantial year-on-year growth in smartphone shipments in Q3 2023, albeit from a low base as the market was negatively impacted in Q3 2022 by the introduction of new import regulations and restrictions, which have since been eased," says Arnold Ponela, a senior research analyst at IDC. "South Africa's smartphone market also saw healthy growth, driven by the recovery of local brands and the increased presence of Chinese brands. Despite the country experiencing rapid currency devaluation, Nigeria's smartphone market registered growth in Q3 2023, with Infinix and Xiaomi boosting their shipments of entry-level devices."
Transsion brands (Tecno, Itel, Infinix) retained a dominant position in terms of smartphone market share in Q3 2023, driven by their compelling portfolio of entry-level handsets suited for the African market. Samsung followed in second place, with Xiaomi third. Shipments of smartphones priced under $100 increased year on year in Q3 2023, while shipments of $100–$200 devices decreased, indicating a growing consumer preference for budget-friendly options.
Looking ahead, IDC expects Africa's smartphone market to expand 2.6% year on year in 2024, with a sustained upward trajectory through 2027. "Africa remains a market with high feature phone share, and the transition to smartphones will be a key driver of the market's growth in the mid to long term," says Ramazan Yavuz, a research manager at IDC. "Persistent inflationary pressures and escalating macroeconomic uncertainties will result in short-term ups and downs in the market but will not impede the long-term shift from feature phones to smartphones."

Taylor University's new cafe will replace a popular study spot in the Zondervan Library's galleria and is projected to open in late October. The initial September opening of the new cafe is pushed back due to ongoing construction bids.
"We don't actually know yet if the contractors will be able to start right away," Stephen Olson, vice president for finance and chief financial officer, said.
The plan for food offerings is that the Trojan Deli will move from the LaRita Boren Campus Center to Zondy's along with pre-made sandwiches, wraps and salads.
The coffee options will not be the same as the Jumping Bean — most likely only providing drip coffee and select flavors. There is no confirmation on the brand of coffee that will be provided.
"So it's not like a coffee house," Olson said. "That was an original thought we had like a year ago, and we've turned away from that."
The new food option location was prompted by recent renovations of the Hodson Dining Commons and the Boren Student Center that will span the 2023-24 school year.
The Hodson Dining Commons renovation is estimated to last until early December. The Chick-fil-A renovation is set to start soon after the Hodson renovation is completed and will take approximately one to two months, Olson said.
"It's just our belief that we really need a stronger third food source," Olson said. "And a coffee house is nice, but it's not actually a stronger food source."
The current plan for the student center's renovation is to remove the Trattoria Station pizza and the Trojan Deli sandwiches and replace both food services with a Freshëns outlet. The outlet will include smoothies, wraps, salads, panini-style sandwiches and other similar items marketed as "fresh casual" dining on the Frëshens website.
"We've noticed that the deli is very popular, so the one theory for Zondy's is to put the deli concept over there," Olson said. "The other thing we're thinking about is different kinds of rice bowls and sandwiches and salads."
The logo, branding and details are in development as well as the number of workers needed daily and hours of operation. Zondy's will also be managed by AVI.
Additionally, Zondy's will offer meal swipes for made-to-order food as well as grab-and-go food. The location will provide two upright coolers with sandwiches, salads and more — prepared in advance for convenience. The meal swipes here will be counted similarly to those used at the student center.
There will be a new dining app students can download to keep track of dining dollars and meal swipes. There is no estimated date of release because the app must be tailored to the AVI food vendor.
"I'd hoped it would be done before the semester started," Olson said. "Hopefully (it will be ready) in the next few weeks."
In addition to a new dining app, AVI plans to host monthly feedback sessions where students can provide compliments or concerns to dining staff. The first one of these was held on Sept. 6.
There are no current plans to compensate for the study space lost to Zondy's, but the library staff hopes the new cafe will increase the number of students visiting the library on a daily basis.
"The booths that were in the galleria study space are now outside of the library classroom or in the 'geek room,' which is always accessible to students," Shannon Eaves, Zondervan library director, said.
Eaves had not been included in most of the planning for Zondy's but remains optimistic about seeing new faces as students try the new cafe.
"If it gets crowded out there and they need to come in, we certainly hope they do," Eaves said.
One concern the library staff has is the impact of the noise that will be made by construction. In order to finish renovations, the crew will have to jackhammer the floor, which Eaves worries will disrupt the quiet atmosphere of the library.
Although there is some apprehension about the change of scenery brought on by a new dining experience, staff are generally excited about the project.
"I think once we live with it for a little bit, then we can kind of adapt how we need to," Eaves said. "We just hope people come in and use the library."

Is Chat available?
Returns the current chat availability for an organization.
If your organization has Business Schedules or Holidays enabled, the Boolean passed in the callback for Kustomer.isChatAvailable()
callback will return the following: 1) the availability based on those dates and times, and 2) the initialization state of the SDK.
This callback will return false
if you have chat completely turned off and the SDK has loaded settings at least once.
This callback tells you if the SDK is ready to present a chat interface. If the SDK hasn't been initialized (that is, the SDK doesn't have settings information loaded or cached), Kustomer.isChatAvailable()
will return false
. If you have chat set to appear available outside of business hours, Kustomer.isChatAvailable()
will return true
let provider = ChatProvider.shared
let available: Bool? = provider.isChatAvailable()
if available == nil {
} else {
print("Is chat available? \(available)")
// This is the deprecated version. Please see the changlog entry for v2.0.7 more information.
let provider = ChatProvider.shared
provider.isChatAvailable({ available in
print("Is chat available? \(available)")
When isChatAvailable
is nil
is nil
If isChatAvailable()
is nil
, this means either that 1) the local settings cache is empty or expired, or 2) that an internet connection has never been available when the SDK tried to refresh settings.
Common scenarios for when isChatAvailable
is nil
Here are some common scenarios for when isChatAvailable
is set to nil
- The user accesses chat during your set business hours
- The user opens Kustomer Chat with a working internet connection
- The user force quits your app
- The user turns on Airplane Mode on their device
- The user opens your app

Automated cache management for chat settings
The Kustomer Chat SDK automatically manages the cache for chat settings.
With this in mind, do not add calls to
when your app opens, or when internet connectivity changes.The Chat SDK does reloads chat settings automatically as needed to show the chat interface.
**How to query Kustomer servers for the value of nil
If isChatAvailable()
is nil
, and you need to know the value, you can use reloadChatSettings
to query Kustomer's servers.
let provider = ChatProvider.shared
let available: Bool? = provider.isChatAvailable()

Spring Vegetable Gardening Schedule for Temperate Climates
Spring is almost here, and daylight saving time has already started. In any temperate climate, it's time to prepare the plot for spring vegetable planting — and next year, you can probably start even earlier. Here is a quick summary of how to prepare the garden, and when to plant your vegetables.
Test the Soil
Many veggies require 8-10 hours of direct sunlight to reach their full potential. Choose a sunny spot, then test the soil. Your local Cooperative Extension office likely provides inexpensive but valuable soil tests. Click here for a national directory.
The soil test will reveal what you need to add in order to balance the pH (ideally to somewhere between 6 and 6.5) and composition of the soil, such as phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium and calcium. Even perfectly balanced soil still needs plenty of organic boosters like compost or manure; some experts suggest adding both.
Hardiness Zone Maps vs. Climate Data
While gardeners can raise beds and add compost on any warm spring day, they may have to wait to plant most of their vegetables, even in fairly temperate climates. Planting times vary by vegetable and by location.
Many gardeners swear by the U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zone map to determine their planting schedule, but I find the Technicolor explosion a little overwhelming, and I live in northern Colorado, which is a particularly confusing patch of the map.
Instead, I go by the climate data to estimate the likely last plant-damaging frost. The Victory Seed Company offers this simple listing of average first and last frost dates for a handful of cities in each state.
Vegetables You Can Plant Before the Last Frost
Hardy vegetables such as kale, leaf lettuce, parsley, spinach and turnips can all be planted from seed 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost. On the same date, asparagus, broccoli, onion, rhubarb and other seedlings can be transplanted if they got a head start indoors. About 2 weeks later, cauliflower and Chinese cabbage can be transplanted, and beets, carrots, parsnips and radishes sown from seed.
Get these cool-season vegetables in the ground early, particularly in hot climates. Lettuce plants can be very productive in late spring and early summer, but they will go to seed and no longer produce tender leaves once it gets too hot.
Wait to Plant These Vegetables
Other vegetables are more tender, and can only be planted after the last frost, when the soil temperature tops 55 degrees Fahrenheit. These include tomatoes, snap beans, sweet corn, summer squash and zucchini. Finally, the least cold-tolerant plants can only go in the ground when the overnight temperature is consistently above 50 degrees F. These include eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, okra and pumpkin.
With proper site preparation and a good planting schedule, you should have a successful spring vegetable garden. Every region and microclimate has peculiarities, however. Consult your local Cooperative Extension office or a professional gardener near you for invaluable information on vegetable planting in your area.

Last week, we held our first arts and crafts session funded by the grant we received from North East Lincolnshire Council to support clinically vulnerable people in North East Lincolnshire.
The session, held on Zoom, involved glass painting. Our face to face arts and crafts sessions normally involve everyone sitting round a big table and sharing materials, but obviously this wasn't possible, so some of the share of the funding allocated to arts and crafts has been used to purchase glass painting sets, brushes, palettes and acetate sheets.
Rach created designs and did all the outlining work prior to the sessions, as people often struggle to use the tube outliners if they have arthritis or other issues with their hands. Then the acetate panels and painting supplies were delivered to the other participants - Jools, Chris, Linda, Dee, Anne, Pam (ably assisted by Phoebe) and Sylv - by our trusty Hope drivers, Mandy and Steve.
Whilst some of the group had been involved in our previous glass painting projects, for a few it was a new experience and took some getting used to. With mainly primary colours to work with, we had to remember the colour mixing combinations we learned in our school days!
The designs are nature-orientated, featuring sunshine, rainbows, birds, bees, flowers, blues skies and greenery and once finished the acetate rectangles will be joined together to make four large panels that will cover each of the windows in our annexe at the Val Waterhouse Centre. We hope that they will really lift the spirits of anyone who sees them and the aim is to have them all in place by mid-October, when we are scheduled to start face to face groups again.

Statement on the "Japan-U.S." and "ROK-U.S." Joint Leaders' Statements:
From the Perspectives of Denuclearization of Northeast Asia and Nuclear Disarmament
Research Center for the Nuclear Weapons Abolition, Nagasaki University (RECNA)
May 25, 2022
The Republic of Korea (ROK)-United States Joint Statement1 and the Japan-U.S. Joint Statement2 were issued on May 21 and 23, 2022, respectively. They were both comprehensive statements covering a wide range of topics, including not only security and alliance relations, most notably related to the Ukraine crisis, but also economic security, climate change, and pandemics. The following are RECNA's views on some of the most noteworthy points of these statements from the perspective of the denuclearization and security of Northeast Asia, as well as nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
1. Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula: Needs for confidence-building and a new security framework for the entire region
Both the ROK-U.S. and Japan-U.S. Joint Statements confirmed their commitments to the "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." How to move it forward will be even more important from now on, and RECNA believes that it is essential to strengthen diplomacy toward stability and peace on the Korean Peninsula, carrying on the spirit of the U.S.-Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK) Joint Statement issued at the Singapore Summit3. To this end, it is necessary to continue efforts for confidence-building and dialogue throughout Northeast Asia, including with China and Russia, and to propose a new security framework. Establishing a framework for disarmament and arms control is also indispensable, because security and disarmament/arms control are deemed to be paired and inextricably linked. In addition, diplomatic efforts should be made to ease tensions beyond "confrontation," including humanitarian assistance to the DPRK, which is now facing a pandemic crisis. The DPRK should acknowledge that its very best policy is to exercise restraint in its nuclear and missile tests and embark on the path of dialogue.
The joint statements included strengthening extended deterrence and response capabilities to respond to the threats posed by the DPRK, China, and Russia, but, contrary to the intention, placing too much emphasis on this direction is fraught with the risk of further increasing tensions in the region. Thus, we demand the relevant countries constantly recognize the need for communication and dialogue at the leadership level, as indicated by the joint statements, and reconsider diplomatic strategy for averting a crisis.
2. Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation: Strengthening the norm of "non-use of nuclear weapons
Although not included in the ROK-U.S. Joint Statement, the Japan-U.S. Joint Statement is commendable in that it confirms the intent toward a "world without nuclear weapons" and clearly states the strengthening of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the increase of transparency, and nuclear risk reduction, the latter of which has been recognized as more of a reality due to the Ukrainian crisis. However, compliance with NPT Article VI was not included. In preparation for the NPT Review Conference to be held in August this year, we would like to reiterate our appeal to the nuclear weapon states to strengthen the norm of "non-use of nuclear weapons" in accordance with the joint statement of the leaders of the five nuclear weapon states released on January 3, 20224, which affirmed that "a nuclear war must never be fought."
3. Holding the G7 Summit in Hiroshima: Starting a new trend of nuclear disarmament from the A-bombed city
As an academic body in an A-bombed city, we greatly welcome the announcement at the joint press conference5 that the decision had been made that the G7 summit would be held in Hiroshima in 2023. This will be an excellent opportunity to stem the tide of the nuclear arms race and create a new trend toward nuclear disarmament. From the A-bombed city of Hiroshima, it is hoped that the leaders of the G7 nations will make appeals to the world about the "inhumanity" of nuclear weapons and the reality of the atomic bombings, and show their renewed determination toward a "world without nuclear weapons."

List of double bass players Category: Double bass player |
The double bass is the deepest and largest string instrument in use . It has a wide range of uses, from modern symphony orchestras to jazz to original rock 'n' roll and rockabilly . A normal double bass has four strings . In the symphony orchestra, instruments with five strings are also used to expand the range downwards.
The double bass is often referred to simply as the bass , also popularly known as the bass violin . The name double bass is derived from the double octave , the tones of which can be generated with the instrument.
Since the double bass has both the structural characteristics of the violins and the viols , there is disagreement about family affiliation. The F-shaped sound holes ( F-holes ), the number of strings, the scroll at the end of the pegbox and the fretless fingerboard speak for the violin family . The mostly sloping shoulders and the tuning of the strings in quart intervals speak in favor of the viol family. There are double basses with a curved violin back and those with a flat viol back that is bent at the top. Italian models correspond more closely to the violin shape.
The tuning pegs , which are metallic worm gears in the double bass, represent a structural specialty , see tuning mechanism .
The double bass is constructed with different lengths that are tailored to the height of the player. For children and young people there is the eighth, quarter or half bass with lengths of around 80, 90 or 97 cm. For adults, the three-quarter bass with a scale length of 104–106 cm is most widespread today. In the orchestra you will also find the 4/4 bass with a length of 107 (to 110) cm.
Strings and tuning
The four strings of today's double bass are mostly tuned in fourths ('E -, A - D - G). Since the instrument lacks four notes up to the Contra-C below the E-string, which are often used in the symphony orchestra, double basses with a fifth string are also used there, which is tuned to Contra-C (in Germany also subcontra-B).
As an alternative to the five-string, instruments with an extension mechanism are also used in the USA and Canada: Using a lever mechanism, the vibrating part of the E-string can be extended into the pegbox in order to generate tones up to Contra-C ("C-machine ").
Especially music from the later Romantic period (Wagner etc.) occasionally requires notes that are below E, which can be produced by the scordature of the fourth string, later also with a five-string or on an instrument with the extension described above. In other music, such as B. Jazz or Pop, the double bass (like the electric bass) does not normally go lower than the 'E' and therefore does not need a five-string. In the USA and Canada, some double bass players also advocate a fifths tuning ('C -' G - D - A), which, however, requires a completely different fingering technique in the left hand, as this is too small to do all of them without changing the hand position Grasping notes (analogous to the cello) (see "left hand" below).
For playing the double bass solo , the solo tuning is often required: With this, each string is tuned a whole tone higher than the orchestral tuning (, E -, A - D - G) (, F sharp, B - E - A), which is one result in a brighter sound. The notation is then usually transposing, so that the notes sound a minor seventh lower than notated.
The string manufacturers offer suitable strings for the different tunings and for the extension mechanism. Most strings are steel strings (steel cables), but gut and plastic strings are also available. The core of the string is wound with a fine metal wire. The material of the wrapping is often chrome steel , but it can also z. B. made of silver-plated copper or silver .
To avoid too many auxiliary lines, double bass parts, as is the case with the double bassoon , for example, are notated an octave above the actual sound. The double bass is thus a transposing instrument . The notation of a c (small c) means C (capital C). It is generally considered superfluous to specifically point out this fact in scores, for example in a preliminary remark or by placing an 8 under the bass clef .
Today's double bass had numerous predecessors with different names. One of them was the violone , whose family affiliation is just as unclear as that of the double bass, as it existed both as a "bass violin" (four-string, without frets, violin shape) and as a "bass viol" (five or six-string, with frets, viol shape) .
When Michael Praetorius found in Syntagma Musicum both a (1619) Contra Basso da gamba and a contra-bass fiddle . Both instruments have frets . In his experiment (1752), Johann Joachim Quantz also recommends frets for the contraviolon in order to promote the clarity of the tone.
In the time of the Viennese Classic , a five-string double bass with frets was common, with the tuning 'F -' A - D - F sharp - A ("third-fourth tuning" or "Viennese tuning"). Around forty solo concerts and an extensive repertoire of chamber music were written for the double bass tuned in this way (more on this below under "Repertoire").
Playing technique
The double bass is played while sitting or standing.
To play while seated, the double bass player needs a high chair or stool. In professional orchestras, ergonomically designed high chairs are available, the seat height and footrests of which can be individually adjusted. The double bass player sits upright with his left leg bent and right leg stretched out. The double bass leans diagonally with the floor on the inside of the bent leg. The lower leg of the right leg touches the lower frame of the instrument.
When playing while standing, the double bass is adjusted to the height of the musician by means of a height-adjustable stand ("spike") that is attached to the lower frame and consists of a metal tube. The sting is pulled out so far that the upper saddle is approximately at eye level. The player lets the double bass fall slightly against him. The edge of the top frame and bottom rests against the player's hip, and the left knee touches the lower part of the bottom.
The disadvantage of playing while standing is the necessary compromise between stability and a healthy posture. If both legs are equally loaded and the knees and hips are loosened, as a natural posture requires, the double bass is unstable. There is a risk that the left hand cannot move completely freely, but is also used to hold the instrument . The music can suffer, especially when playing with the bow . On the other hand, attempts to stabilize the double bass by pinching it between the knees lead to an unnatural posture and can result in serious health problems.
In areas of light music, where the conspicuous double bass is also used for show effects, musicians sometimes adopt acrobatic postures. Popular with rockabilly double bass players is z. B. surfing, with the musician standing on the inclined instrument like on a surfboard, or riding, with the musician sitting astride the double bass lying on the frame. The instruments are specially prepared and stabilized for such visual tricks. This can damage a normal double bass.
right hand
When playing the arco, the strings are bowed with a bow. Different types of lines are used depending on the character of the music . The bow is either called in the upper grip, similar to the cello, or also called "French bow position" (in Italy, France, England, partly USA, partly Switzerland), or in the lower handle, also called "German bow position" (in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, partly Switzerland). ( Bow hold )
The arco style of playing is most common in classical music. But jazz double bass players such as Jimmy Blanton , Paul Chambers , Slam Stewart and Renaud Garcia-Fons also use the bow in their solos with virtuosity.
When playing pizzicato , the strings are plucked with your fingers. The pizzicato playing styles in classical and jazz are different. In classical music, the index and middle fingers stand almost vertically on the string, pull them to the side at a 90 ° angle and ideally create a bell-like sound. In jazz the tearing finger is guided almost parallel to the string. Background noises are often desirable. Cultivated as "dead notes" (tearing noises without recognizable pitch) and "drops", they enliven the rhythmic flow of the bass line.
The slap technique has developed into a special way of playing the double bass since the 1910s. The strings are torn with the closed fingers in order to make them bounce back onto the fingerboard. In traditional jazz, the double bass player can achieve a higher volume, and the actually rather dull and round sound gets a percussive element. Since the change from two-beat to four-beat (walking bass) accompaniment, the slap technique no longer plays a role in jazz. However, it was further developed in the field of rock'n'roll, rockabilly and psychobilly and is widespread there.
Left hand
The position of the fingers of the left hand determines the pitch of the bowed or plucked strings.
The most widespread is the fingering system of the so-called Prague School. This goes back to the Prague double bass teacher Wenzel Haus and his student Josef Hrabě . It became popular worldwide through the double bass school of Hrabe student Franz Simandl , which is why the playing technique is also known as the "Simandl technique". The left hand is in a whole tone tension, i.e. H. There is a large second between the index finger and the little finger and accordingly a small second between the index and middle finger and between the middle and little finger. The ring finger is only used in higher positions and when playing with the thumb attachment. This system is also known as the three-finger technique or 1-2-4 fingering.
As a variant of this, the 1-3-4 fingering, which uses the ring finger instead of the middle finger and leaves out the second finger, is also widespread in southern European countries.
A predefined hand position is characteristic of these two traditional systems, with which a high level of stability of the tone is achieved. The whole tone tension is constantly maintained, which results in frequent position changes and thus technical disadvantages compared to other string instruments.
In order to get by with fewer changes in position, the four-finger technique was developed, which is similar to that used on the violoncello. All fingers grip the string at semitone intervals. In contrast to the hand tension in the Simandl technique, the hand is open and the fingers reach the target point by moving. This technique is older than the Prague School and is rarely played and taught (in Germany: HMT Rostock and UdK Berlin, in the Netherlands: Conservatories Rotterdam and Arnhem, in Canada: Royal Conservatory Toronto, in the USA: American School of Double Bass as well at several universities). The reasons for this lie in the higher technical requirements that a fluid mobility of the hand brings with it. Opponents of the technique cite the higher risk of uncleanliness, especially in faster passages and inconsistent fingerings in the double bass groups of the orchestras when using both playing systems at the same time. In addition, due to the widely spaced semitones, a range is required that many double bass players cannot safely grasp with the little finger. This can make the sound unstable. The four-finger technique is used by Joel Quarrington, Rodion Azarkhin, Michael Barry Wolf , Guy Tuneh , Hans Roelofsen, Silvio Dalla Torre and, in the field of jazz, by Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen .
As with the violoncello, the thumb attachment is used for playing in higher registers.
With vibrato , the left hand is moved slightly up and down, but slower than with the violin, depending on the lower pitch of the double bass, in order to liven up the tone through controlled pitch fluctuations and timbre changes and thus give the music more depth of expression.
Areas of responsibility and repertoire
In the classical string orchestra, first and second violins (soprano and alto), violas (tenor) and cellos (bass) form a four-part set , the lower part of which is doubled by the double basses in the octave to round off the overall sound - this doubling of the octave makes a significant contribution to the orchestral sound. Usually cellos and double basses are notated together in a single system; It was not until the late Classical and Romantic periods that a separation between cellos and double basses in separate staves became more common.
There are also a number of solo concerts for double bass and orchestra. Such double bass concerts were composed by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf , Johann Baptist Vanhal and Franz Anton Hoffmeister , among others . Also Joseph Haydn wrote a bass concert, which is not obtained. Double bass virtuosos have composed other concerts for their instrument, including Johann Matthias Sperger , Domenico Dragonetti , Giovanni Bottesini and Sergei Alexandrowitsch Kussewizki .
Most composers of that time preferred the cello to the double bass as a solo instrument, because a cello is much more agile and manoeuvrable and, with its sound richer in overtones, is better suited for solos; In addition, there is a higher degree of intonation security, as fewer changes of position are necessary.
Another exception is jazz, where plucked, solo-like interludes are not uncommon.
The composer Bertold Hummel wrote a Sinfonia piccola op. 66 for eight double basses. There are quartets for four double basses by Hartmut Schmidt , Claus Kühnl and Colin Brumby, among others .
Special forms
In the 19th century, there was also an attempt in French orchestras with an enlarged design of the double bass (about 3.5 meters high): the three-string octobass , which, however, was only supposed to expand the range by a major third down to the counter C. Tuning Contra C, Contra G, and capital C. The inventor J.-B. Vuillaume is not primarily concerned with expanding the tonal range, but rather with increasing the tonal volume. Hector Berlioz praised the sound of this instrument and recommended its use in the orchestra. The strings were not pressed down with the fingers, but with levers and pedals. Vuillaume built three instruments of this type.
Electric double bass
A modern variant is the electric double bass (Electric Upright Bass), which has no or only a greatly reduced body. The vibrations of the steel strings are picked up by a pickup , electrically amplified and reproduced by a loudspeaker .
The Berda is a double bass-like instrument in South Slavic and Hungarian folk music.

Is significant talk outside the morning show on a music station a recipe for ratings ruin? The PPM results from several major Canadian markets indicate more talk on a music station is a winning strategy.
Since its inception in 2010, 102.3 Now Radio in Edmonton has been the #1 radio station in the market nearly every single ratings period and these extraordinary audience figures have made Now Radio Edmonton's #1 billing station.
The Now Radio format doesn't fit into an existing format box. So, what is it? Musically, it's kind of a Hot AC, but plays a lot of 80s and 90s Gold, and then occasionally they throw in something completely unexpected. On a recent listen I heard Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places," Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" and even Black Sabbath's "War Pigs". Strangely it all works.
Now Radio's unique music strategy is only a portion of its winning formula. Now Radio's commitment to it audience is unmatched. It began by promising to answer every text, which was no easy task with over a million texts received in its first 18 months. Today, "Now Radio promises to give you as much music and conversation as we can." In fact, the station has never had a music positioner and the station continues to drive home its "Join the Conversation" slogan.
Now Radio's conversations are led by its Hosts, not DJs. The Hosts are real, honest and without hype. You won't hear them read liner cards or endlessly plug value added promotions, nor will you hear them say the station name. Station IDs are handled by the station voice. Now has set the stage for its Hosts to deliver content in every break and in every daypart. When listening to Now it feels like the Hosts can say whatever they want, whenever they want and talk as much as they want.
Pattison Media, Now Radio's owner, introduced a similar format at 101.5 Today Radio in Calgary three years ago. Like Now Radio, Today Radio is consistently the market's ratings leader. The group has incorporated many of Now Radio's winning ways into its music stations throughout the nation. And other broadcasters have taken notice of Pattison's success, and more and more Canadian music stations are quickly adding more multi-person shows and increasing the personality quotient. For instance, CFOX in Vancouver added a two-person afternoon show to complement its top-rated morning show last summer.
In the US, 2021 saw CHR Q99.7 in Atlanta expand its content commitment by adding the two person Jade and Moe drive show and Z100 New York followed the trend by adding Maxwell and Crystal to afternoons. Rocker KISW in Seattle has been a market leader for years with its talk intensive BJ & Megs morning show and its 4-person afternoon show, The Mens Room.
Great radio stations have always been a result of what happens between the records, and based on the Canadian PPM ratings, re-emphasizing the personality on music radio is a winning strategy.

One of the best things about working for a "Web shop" like Critical Mass, is that we actually get to conceive, design and build the kinds of online applications that the big brand agencies are still mostly talking about. "Branded Utility" has become an elusive phrase within the industry where few case studies actually exist. Nike + and The Dominoes Pizza configurator offer glimpses of the promise of brand utility which loosely translates to the opposite of advertising, as it has very little to do with messaging or articulating a brand's promise. Instead, branded utility offers some kind of functionality to an individual, group or community that serves some type of purpose whether it be rational, emotional or ideally both.
So instead of doing traditional digital marketing like banners or a microsite-we've recently launched the first iteration of the evolution of "My Vegas", a combination of a "private social application" and utility that allows you to creative profiles, upload photos, manage trip details, compare attractions, schedule events coordinate activities with friends and more. The platform is in it's first iteration, so we have quite a bit of work to do on UI and integration with mobile-but it's a start. (It's also worth noting that Critical Mass is working with R&R Partners on this initiative.)
My Vegas is designed off two very simple insights:
People go to Vegas to have fun and "be someone else"
People travel to Vegas in groups and often "converge" at a common destination
This begs the question-what if we could get Vegas visitors excited about their upcoming trip and allow them to build anticipation with friends before actually going? And what if they had a place to share "war stories" after? The experience at this point offers two core features. My Vegas is sort of a "Facebook light" for you and your "entourage", while the RSVP tool (Really Simple Vegas Planner) allows you to throw some events on a calendar and coordinate activities with friends.
RSVP Tool
One of the first things you'll notice when using the RSVP tool is that we've broken the traditional "loading page" approach and went with a more "liquid" interface dynamically slides in steps from right to left while displaying a brief "burst" of motion. Why? Uh, because it's Vegas baby-that's why. One of the challenges of designing a Web application like this is to get lots of functionality in it it without losing sight of the "fun" part. The RSVP tool allows users to plan a trip, and let friends know where they will be staying and what they'll be doing. After you are done planning your "Vegas getaway", you can invite as many friends who will be able to see what your up to. Likewise you can do the same with them. For folks who want to connect with friends around a specific event (like an annual trip to Las Vegas) but don't want the hassle of joining Facebook or Myspace, this might be for them.
My Vegas
The My Vegas portion of the application is where you can play around and really ham up your "Vegas persona". Here you can see that I'm "Rusty Armano". But I can change this to be pretty much any over-the-top character I want to be (over 100 to choose from).
There are no advertisements on My Vegas, instead I can show my "entourage" what I like by choosing venues, events and restaurants in the area that I like and plan on checking out (I want to see Cirque's new Beatles show). In the age of influence, we pretty much know that this is the best kind of advertising there is. It's called word of mouth.
There are also a few nice touches like customizable layouts and themes which can be quickly configured to meet your personal tastes. It's pretty quick to get a profile set up and like most social applications, you can invite people who you know to be a part of it.
My Vegas 2.0?
So here's where I need your help. As I mentioned earlier, the Web application recently launched and we've got lots of refining to do as well as enhancements. If you are a regular reader here-I'd like to ask the favor of checking it out and putting your recommendations in the comments area here. Where do you see UI improvements? Whet's not working? What are ideal enhancements (mobile integration, integration with desktop applications like excel etc?). I really want to know as I'm doing a bit of an experience audit.
Lastly, I will be using my profile on my Vegas to post all of my pictures and some updates for Microsoft's upcoming Mix 08 which is taking place in Vegas. If you want to be part of my "entourage"-set up a profile and then send me an invitation to this e-mail address. I'll add you back and we'll be be up to no good in no time. See you in Vegas! (or at least on My Vegas).

Home › Forums › Front-end Issues › Displaying Submitted Fields
Hello! I'm sure this is easy, but I'm wondering where to start.
I would like to display the submitted data without having to click on a button to make the modal pop up. When I submit a form, the data will display just fine, but only show the title and a button to open the modal that displays all the submitted form data.
I would like to disable the modal pop-up and instead just display all the information in the list of submissions. There seems to be an option for this on the form, letting you change to modal or not, but I'm not seeing it for submission.
I attached a screenshot for better clarification. Hope this is an easy thing to do!
Appreciate the help in advance.
You're going to have to supply more information. There isn't anything in ACF that creates what you are showing, at least not that I know of.
Hmm I'm sorry, thought I explained it clearly so I'm not sure what more information I can add to that.
So there's nothing in ACF to display the submitted forms in detail without having to click on a modal pop-up button?
I'm sure I can grab the submitted information for a specific form and loop through it displaying the fields wherever I want, right? I'm just having issues displaying submitted forms wherever I'd like to on a page with all the information shown without having to click on a button to pop up the information on a modal.
I think I just need a way to grab all submission fields on a form and display them directly on a page. Kind of like how the list does already, but instead of just a title and a Review button, I'd like the title and all other fields displayed.
Even if the solution is through php or javascript, I just need nudged in the right direction.
Thank you!
Honestly, this picture explains exactly what I need to do.
I just need these submitted forms to be visible to users without having to click on a button to bring up a modal to see the submitted fields.
I'll have to go a different route if this isn't possible, so I appreciate the help!
ACF does not have a feature that allows you to see submitted ACF forms. This is either something that is custom built or supplied by some other plugin.

Progress in Reaction Kinetics and Mechanism, 43 (2). pp. 144-156. ISSN 1468-6783, DOI https://doi.org/10.3184/146867818X15161889114510.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Pseudo first-order rate constants, kobs, for the alkaline hydrolysis of N-(o-aminophenyl) phthalimide, obtained at constant [CTABr]T (total concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and varying concentrations of inert salt MX (MX = sodium formate, sodium acetate, sodium propanoate, sodium butyrate, sodium valerate and sodium hexanoate) follow the relationship: kobs (K0 + θKX/S [MX])/(1 + KX/S [MX]) where θ and KX/S are empirical constants and S = HO-. The values of KX/S for each aliphatic acid decrease with an increase in [CTABr]T. This relationship gives an empirical constant whose magnitude is the measure of the ability of an ion, X- X/S, to expel another counterion S-, from the cationic micellar surface to the bulk aqueous phase. The values of the empirical constant, K X/S, are used to derive the ion exchange constant, KBr X.

A good antivirus security software program can protect your pc from infections and also other malware, and in addition provide a little extra features. Tendency Micro, for instance , is particularly efficient at phishing safety, which assists you avoid destructive websites. The subscription strategies come with a 30-day money back guarantee and are often included with other features. BullGuard is another good option while offering excellent anti-malware protection. It also offers a customizable firewall and performance optimizer, as well as parent controls and identity fraud protection.
Although no antivirus security software software is totally free of false positives, some currently have less of which than others. Phony alerts are irritating, and fortunately, most of the anti-virus programs within this list made zero fake positives. Maybe you might even want to purchase a username and password protector in order to keep information safe from prying sight. Despite these benefits, you could still want to look for an antivirus that offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
While the basic antivirus protection is the central thing, you should also consider other net security features. For example , if you often make use of public Wi-Fi, look for a great antivirus with a VPN. For children, look for an antivirus with parental vipre antivirus review controls. Norton 360 presents a full bundle, including parent controls and a security password manager. When you are looking for a even more comprehensive anti virus, try Bitdefender Total Secureness. It has a great spyware database and offers additional features, just like file shreders and VPNs.
