One of the easiest, most cost-efficient ways of enhancing your home is with paint. With the advances made in paint over the past decade, there's not much you can't do with it indoors and outdoors.
Gone are the days of the all-purpose can of paint. Today, there are paints available for specific materials and surfaces. Whether your floor is wood or concrete, there is a paint designed for use on it. There are even paints for metals, such as the smoke pipe of a stove, that heat up to extremely high temperatures.
Some paints are made for specific uses on appliances, cabinets, tile walls and floors, bathtubs and sinks. You can even produce a terrazzo look on floors or a textured effect on walls with the right kind of paint.
Before you begin any project, visit a paint dealer and discuss the kind of material you plan to paint, its condition and the result you want to see. There are so many paints on the market, you want to make sure you get just the right one. A paint that's good for interior woodwork, for instance, is not necessarily good for wood floors or outside wood trim. A paint intended for concrete walls won't necessarily hold up on a concrete floor. So, be specific.
To apply any paint all you need to do is follow the instructions on the paint can. These are usually very detailed. But, be sure to read them before you leave the store in case you have any questions. Also ask about any materials or tools that may be required for a particular type of paint.
Many paints are flammable and harmful if taken internally or inhaled. So, be sure to read the warning labels which are usually illustrated quite clearly on the container. Always keep any area where you are painting well-ventilated.
While a fresh coat of paint can easily transform any dull room, cupboard or furniture item, you can't expect all flaws to be magically concealed. Painting requires good surface preparation and some elbow grease before you can splash on new colors.
Start by filling in all holes and cracks with an appropriate filler. When the filler is dry, use a fine sandpaper and sand all surfaces lightly. Then wipe all surfaces to ensure they are dust-free.
Here are a few tips for different paint jobs:
Bathrooms and kitchens
Because of high moisture, use an enamel rather than a flat paint for walls as well as woodwork.
An enamel is easier to clean and less likely to be harmed by moisture. Epoxy paints will hold on sinks, bathtubs, ceramic tiles and other areas that are extremely smooth and exposed to water. These paints must be handled carefully and require good ventilation.
A latex masonry paint is good for concrete basement walls. Many paints are designed to damp proof or water-proof basement walls. Their effectiveness depends on how well they are applied. However, it's virtually impossible to waterproof a basement from the inside by simply applying waterproof paint on the walls.
Use heat-resistant enamels on any surface that gets hot, such as metal pipes. Concrete basement floors must be cleaned before painting. Use a cleaner recommended by the paint manufacturer.
Any paint you use should be designed to withstand the weather. The surfaces — whether aluminum, iron, steel, brick, concrete, wood, wicker, etc. — must be prepared in advance as recommended by the paint manufacturer. Before starting any project, be sure to consult your local paint store representative for ideas and advice.

The idea of everyone in a community pitching in is so universal that even bacteria have a system to prevent the layabouts of their kind from enjoying the fruit of others' hard work, Princeton Univ. researchers have discovered.
Groups of the bacteria Vibrio cholerae deny loafers their unjust desserts by keeping the food generated by the community's productive members away from V. cholerae that attempt to live on others' leftover nutrients, the researchers report in Current Biology. The researchers found that individual bacteria produce a thick coating around themselves to prevent nutrients from drifting over to the undeserving. Alternatively, the natural flow of fluids over the surface of bacterial communities can wash away excess food before the freeloaders can indulge.
Likely common among bacteria, this act of microscopic justice not only ensures the survival of the group's most industrious members, but also could be used for agriculture, fuel production and the treatment of bacterial infections such as cholera, explained first author Knut Drescher, a postdoctoral research fellow in the laboratory of senior author Bonnie Bassler, the Squibb Prof. in molecular biology and department chair.
By encouraging this action, scientists could increase the efficiency of any process that relies on bacteria to break down organic materials, such as plant materials into biofuels, or cellulose into paper products, Drescher said. For treating a disease, the mechanism could be counteracted to effectively starve the more productive bacteria and weaken the infection.
"We could use our discovery to develop strategies that encourage the proliferation of microbes that digest dead organic material into useful products," Drescher said. "Such an approach will be useful for optimizing nutrient recycling for agriculture, bioremediation, industrial cleanup, or making products for industry or medicine."
The Princeton findings also provide insight into how all microbes potentially preserve themselves by imposing fairness and resolving the "public goods dilemma," in which a group must work together while also avoiding exploitation by their self-serving individuals, said co-lead author Carey Nadell, a postdoctoral research associate in Bassler's laboratory.
"The public goods dilemma is a central problem in the history of life on Earth, during which single cells have emerged as collectives of genes, multicellular organisms have emerged as collectives of cells, and societies have emerged as collectives of multicellular organisms," Nadell said.
"At each of these transitions in complexity there has been—and remains—the threat of exploitation by single members pursuing their own interests at the expense of the collective as a whole," Nadell said. "Clarifying how exploitation can be averted is therefore critical to understanding how life has taken the various forms that exist today."
Like all bacteria, V. cholerae—strains of which can cause cholera—frequently lives in dense communities called biofilms. Also like other bacteria, V. cholerae secretes enzymes that break down the solid organic carbon- and nitrogen-containing molecules of which living things are composed so that the bacterium can feast on the components within. But not every individual bacterium will produce enzymes—some will simply feed on what their organic-compound digesting neighbors produce. The researchers found two mechanisms by which this leeching is halted.
The vigilance of V. cholerae and other bacteria may also carry a larger benefit. The nitrogen and carbon that make up most of the planet's breathable air largely come from the digestion of organic materials by bacteria.
The researchers studied V. cholerae as it feasted on its preferred victual, chitin, a sugar-based molecule and the central element of many marine cells, exoskeletons and other appendages. The researchers write that sea animals alone shed an estimated 110 billion tons of chitin each year—yet hardly any of it makes it to the ocean floor. Instead, the detritus is consumed by V. cholerae and other marine bacteria with its elements being recycled into the biosphere.
"If V. cholerae's system of extracellular digestion were compromised by exploitation," Nadell said, "the world's supply of carbon and nitrogen would become sequestered on a rapid geological timescale."

They're asking politely. Malcontents from 20 different states are petitioning the White House to allow them to secede from the union.
Using the White House website's We the People function, in which petitions garnering at least 25,000 signatures get a response from the president, people from the state of Texas are asking to "peacefully ... withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government."
It goes on to say that the state keeps a balanced budget and with the "15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union." In fact, it adds, doing so would return its citizens to the vision of the country's founding fathers.
CBS reports that similar petitions have been filed for 20 states, after President Obama won reelection.
CBS adds:
"Many of the petitions invoke the Declaration of Independence's dramatic assertion that 'Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government.' ...
"For some of the states represented, the secession requests are nothing novel: South Carolina, the state whose 1860 secession sparked the civil war, is hardly an unlikely locus of conservative angst in response to Mr. Obama's victory."
It's also nothing new for the great state of Texas. Remember, earlier this year, Gov. Rick Perry hinted that Texas should leave the union.
At 5 p.m., the Texas petition has received more than 28,000 signatures, above the 25,000 needed to receive an official response.

A contact switch is used to regulate whether or not an electrical current is passing from a power source and into an electrical device. These switches are found in many types of equipment and they are used to control, for example, the power output from a wall socket into a device when it is plugged in; the currents passing across the circuit board of a computer; or the electricity powering a light bulb when the switch is flipped on. Because of their prevalence, simulating contact switches is a fundamental step in designing electronic applications. Since the concept used in their design remains much the same even as more complex components are implemented, a simple model can be used to provide a basic understanding of how a contact switch works. We can find such a simulation in our Model Gallery, and can use this model to explore the mechanical, electrical, and thermal behavior of the two contacting parts of the switch.
Contact switch showing temperature distribution and current density within the switch.
Contact Switch Concepts: Mechanical Contact and Electro-Thermal Contact
The working principle behind a contact switch is simple — two conductive pieces of metal with an electrical voltage difference across them are brought into contact, allowing a current to flow between them. The metallic surfaces of the two components that touch one another are called contacts, and when the connection between the two contacts is broken, the current stops flowing.
The current flow between the two contacts contributes to an increase in temperature in the switch due to the Joule heating effect. Anyone who has felt a warm power plug after running a vacuum cleaner, for instance, has experienced this effect. The heating of the contact switch can change the material properties of the metal as well as the surface area of contact, and therefore is an important effect to consider when modeling the switch. Letting the temperature become too high can even cause the switch to burn out, meaning the switch is no longer functional. Therefore, it is important to analyze its current-carrying capability in order to prevent this from happening. It is also important to consider that when the two metallic pieces come into contact, the surfaces touching each other experience a mechanical pressure or contact pressure. This mechanical pressure on the contacts can alter the electrical and thermal properties of the material locally around the region surrounding the contacts. Therefore, in order to accurately simulate the current-carrying capability and temperature rise in the switch, it is important to take a more comprehensive approach in the simulation and incorporate the effect of contact pressure to compute the electrical and thermal conductance of the contact surfaces.
Let's find out how you can combine all these concepts together to model a contact switch.
Modeling Electrical, Mechanical, and Thermal Conductance in a Contact Switch
First, let's look at the geometry and materials used to build the contact switch. The switch is made of copper, with two fixed cylindrical elements and a central region where the contacts are located. On the end of each contact are plate hooks that enable contact between the two pieces. In the simulation, an electric potential of 1 mV is applied to the left side of the switch, while the right side is grounded. The geometry of the contact switch is shown below:
Contact switch geometry, showing two fixed cylindrical bodies and the contacts at the center.
The exposed surfaces of the switch lose heat due to their interaction with air via natural convection. In the simulation, this is modeled by specifying a heat transfer coefficient and the ambient temperature of the surrounding air (a more ambitious simulation might also include the fluid flow of the air). The model first solves for structural contact to obtain the contact pressure on the contact surfaces. These results are then used to compute the electrical and thermal conductance of the contact's surfaces in a Joule heating simulation.
We can use the simulation to analyze the electric potential distribution in the switch as shown below:
Profile of the electric potential distribution in the contact switch.
As would be expected, the electrical potential ranges from 0 V (ground) on the right, to the applied 1 mV on the left.
Initially, the contact switch is assumed to be at room temperature (293.15 K, 68°F, or 20°C). A potential difference across the two components in the switch creates a current flow, which in turn leads to Joule heating. This causes a rise in temperature in the switch. If you leave the switch on for a while, temperature distribution in the switch reaches an equilibrium as shown in the figure below:
Temperature distribution in the contact switch.
In this model, Joule heating causes the temperature in the switch to rise about 5 K above room temperature, although only a small temperature variation is seen within the switch itself. Introducing the effect of electrical and thermal conductance allows us to predict the temperature rise more accurately. The simulation also shows that the switch gets slightly hotter at the contact region.
If we look at both the temperature distribution at the contact region, and current density within the switch, we can see the results shown below:
Temperature distribution (surface plot) and current density (streamlines) at the contact region.
The simulation confirms that where the two hooks are touching at the center of the switch, the electrical current (shown as streamlines) passes from one hook into the other.
Extending the Simulation Using COMSOL Multiphysics
In this simulation, we showed how the contact pressure occurring between the two contacts can affect the electrical and heat conduction behavior in a contact switch. In some cases, it may be beneficial to conduct a more in-depth analysis by taking more physics effects into account. This can be accomplished using the electrical and thermal contact boundary condition that was added to COMSOL version 4.3b. With these new features, we can include additional analysis, such as:
- Measuring the degree to which the electrical or thermal conductance varies in relation to a change in pressure on the contact surface, or change in surface roughness and hardness, with the Constriction Conductance feature
- Testing how a thin layer of air, dirt, or fluid between the contact surfaces would change the electrical and thermal conductance, using the Gap Conductance feature
- Measuring the radiation that could occur across the microscopic gap between the two contacts depending on how hot the temperature of the system became, using the Radiative Conductance feature
It would also be possible to add more features to this simulation, such as the temperature-dependency of material properties and thermal expansion as a result of Joule heating.
Each of these new features can be added to the model to construct a simulation that is more accurate for the particular environment and application where it will be used. To learn more about the implementation of these features, you can attend the upcoming Simulation of Thermal-Structure Interaction webinar that will be given on August 15th by my co-worker Supratik Datta and Kyle Koppenhoefer of AltaSim Technologies.

Before attending the webinar, you can download the contact switch model, Simulation of Multiphysics Contact in a Power Conductor from the Model Gallery to explore how the mechanical, electrical, and thermal interactions in the contact switch were simulated.

District Attorney Investigates City Attorneys John Russo, Jayne Williams, Meyers Nave Corruption Complaint
After a number of faxes, the filing of a formal complaint against City Attorney's John Russo of Oakland and Jayne Williams of San Leandro and their City Attorney's office administrations including the law firm of Meyers Nave, on June 7, 2010 and several conversations with the Alameda County District Attorney office, District Attorney Nancy O'Malley assigned the case to Assistant District Attorney Kevin Dunleavy. After his review and several more conversations with al-Hakim, he has decided to assign the case for investigation.
One of the areas discussed for investigation is that of jurisdiction since the complaint also involves actions on the part of the D. A., their prior open court admission of fraud injuring al-Hakim and his family in another matter, though they should be able to be separated without consequence or compromise. It is somewhat complicated by the fact that the D. A. feels that the complaint rightfully belongs back with the United States Attorney General Eric Holder, who's office had it originally under A. G. Alberto Gonzalez. al-Hakim rejected that notion, been there, done that, going back already! al-Hakim opposed that theory as "kicking the can down the road to avoid their responsibility to investigate and prosecute their friends and themselves" because al-Hakim already has that prong in his attack and would not allow the D. A. off the hook that easily with a self-serving excuse. Another D. A. close to al-Hakim separately proposed to have the Grand Jury handle the investigation only to face the same rationale.
As you all know, al-Hakim has harnessed the power of public opinion, has a petition in circulation for President Obama and U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder to expand the initial investigation to a complaint filed in 2005 with a grass roots movement embraced by thousands demanding a change in the policy of isolation, victimization, criminalization and the attempted entrapment of the victim, including the use of government initiated Nixon era "White House Plumbers" and CoIntelpro style dirty tricks! This civil conspiracy has brought into play County and Sate Agencies to further it's continued investigation of al-Hakim whom the defense admitted in 1998 has been surveilled for years and continues today with the compromising of many agents and informants covers due to their sloppiness.
This effort was a major factor in al-Hakim's recent trials in the County and State Courts and was used to gather reconnaissance against him. This manifested itself as the supreme purveyor of the judicial corruption, perjury, bias, prejudice and ultimate cover-up of these crimes against al-Hakim. al-Hakim has four complaints filed with the Alameda County Presiding Court Judge that have been being investigated for over three years without any response from the court while the judges continue to rule from the bench. What happens when they are found to have committed corruption, corrupt misconduct, gross miscarriages of justice, bias, prejudice, and perjury while serving and they continued to serve while these crimes were being investigated making rulings that they legally and morally where unfit to have made? What happens to all the rulings that they made while under this cloud of veiled crime? What happens to all the parties unjustly tried and cases unjustly settled or disposed of? This fact alone will not only ruin the court system but ruin the eroded confidence of the public in the exposed truly unjust, dishonored judicial system we live today in the City of Oakland, Alameda County and the State of California.
al-Hakim has warned District Attorney Nancy O'Malley that he will not allow any posturing by any political opportunist with this investigation being a cursory one with out any possibility of prosecution of the criminals nor the passing of the buck to the United States Attorney General or Alameda County Grand Jury. O'Malley thinks there's votes and money in positioning herself as being aggressive on crime in a high profile manner by pursuing this matter on paper for pure electoral reasons! Several of the judges that have clearly committed crimes in this case are directly involved with the Grand Jury. Never the less, al-Hakim insists that the parties engage in the process of investigating themselves as a true measure of transparency, accountability, crime fighting and justice that they all have so faithfully campaigned on!
Far too many instances of foul play on behalf of the City Attorneys, Alameda County District Attorney, Alameda County Superior Court, California Attorney General, California Appeals Court for the governing bodies the complaint was filed with to ignore their dutiful responsibility to investigate and prosecute,
There have been far too many threats and warnings from people in positions of power directly opposed to exposing this complaint and the dastardly crimes contained therein. The cover up has taken on the proportions a movement! There should be no difficulty nor opposition to the investigation and prosecution of the complaint. Now they feel they can't let al-Hakim prevail because it portrays them in the old axiom of "a group smart people not being able to legally exploit and take advantage of one stupid person!".
Incredibly, sympathizing politicians are carrying the criminals water without defending it by suggesting that al-Hakim wants them to support his effort. al-Hakim only wants a fair and impartial investigation just as any other citizen off the streets of Oakland just like these very same politicians should! What is so hard to understand about that and just why is that wrong? Why are they being an accessory while aiding and abetting this crime? Where's this resistance coming from? Who's really behind it? It reveals the last refuges of scoundrels caught in a scandal! Its a very bad situation made worse by civil conspiracy and cover up for which no apology can mitigate. Russo's big lie that al-Hakim was the bad guy in an effort to demonize him has fallen miserably on it's face where his greatest supporters no longer subscribe to that spin and can not overcome al-Hakim's uncontested, uncontroverted, undeniable, irrefutable evidence that will allow the over $20 million claim to prevail on summary judgment!
The true ethos of this country is not about propagating fear, contempt and hate to veil the concerted attempt to evade investigating and prosecuting your allies at the expense of al-Hakim, his family, business, his community, the people, justice, integrity, the publics confidence… The public is appalled! That is the very defined action of Civil Conspiracy!
Law enforcement and Politicians do not have the right to evade the law because they feel entitled, privileged! They do not have that right and if al-Hakim had done these same things as an African-American and Muslim, he would be held in Guantanamo Bay Prison under secret evidence, tortured underground with air and light pumped down to him once a month!
Based on the current national political environment, the enthusiasm rallied around the politics of fear, the State of the economy, the failure to materialize of a lot of what Russo, et. al. were counting on for legal and political shelter, the disdain for al-Hakim becoming more popular and with the projected trajectory of the legal case with no unexpected intervening events, Russo was in a position to dodge the political death nail!
The public is angry and fed up with corruption and those that feel they are above the law! Polls show 85% of the people do not trust politicians, law enforcement, nor judges! People are frothing at the mouth to use their ballot, their protest, their dollars, their free speech right, free assembly right, their lawmaking right to flush the crooks out of office! They are not dispirited, but energized in attacking those miscreants as these factors and this enthusiasm has shown to be a pivotal, decisive factor at the polls. Many politicians now view Russo as a political liability and have abandoned Russo, et. al., dropping them off their lists of supporters in order to survive! There's a direct correlation to his decline in popularity with the increase in the call for Russo's resignation! Russo will have to use his political cache, and adjust his financial resources to fend off his complete demise and hold onto some dignity as he leaves politics, while it is doubtful that he be competitive in this fight for his life that isn't exactly fair anymore!
al-Hakim has been attacked like the Nazi government and bombed like Pearl Harbor for raising the complaint and refusing to allow those responsible to perform their sworn duties! The responsible parties are taking this opportunity to celebrate their racism with their ignore and delay tactic, which hasn't slowed down since Judge James Richman began the judicial crime spree, in hopes that it will "go away" or they can pass it on to someone else who can say "no and do nothing!" But they do not have that luxury!
City Attorney's John Russo of Oakland and Jayne Williams of San Leandro and their City Attorney's office administrations including the law firm of Meyers Nave defense strategy of essentially vetoing the complaint with years of confrontation and nothing happening has now dealt the damaging blow of the Cities they consult affected having to find a way to govern with this cloud of municipal legal uncertainty hanging over every decision, legal case, vote, opinion, contract, settlement, and each and every simple everyday task subject to legal reversal! It is a foregoing conclusion that they are out of time and options while facing what is a tidal wave of criticism and a blacklash that shakes and newly shapes the foundation of ALL their legacies.
Russo had a very comfortable position in the drivers seat with the control and close personal contacts he had over the D. A.'s office, County Superior Court, the State Appeals Court, The State Attorney General and the United States Attorney General's Office. He clearly was confident and sure he was untouchable, as with his Italian mobster heritage he's so proud of, "the Teflon Don" ! However the failure to materialize of a lot of what Russo, et. al. were counting on for legal and political shelter has brought them ALL under unbearable scrutiny and regulation, some at Russo's own creation and to his own demise! As any student of civics or law knows corruption and civil conspiracy are crimes and void of any and all presumed entitlements.
This is Part One of a multi part series examining the corruption in the al-Hakim v. Rescue Rooter, et. al.; al-Hakim v. CSAA, et. al. legal cases that includes parts on the Judiciary, Compromising Cover of Law Enforcement, City Attorney's John Russo of Oakland and Jayne Williams of San Leandro and their City Attorney's office administrations including the law firm of Meyers Nave, Oakland City Government, and apathetic media bias.

The Soul Supreme Tour feat. Sam Bostic w/special guest Adesha
July 21, 2010
Yoshi's San Francisco
1330 Fillmore Street
San Francisco, California 94115
9PM Show
The highly anticipated 2010 Soul Supreme Tour will begin its 10-city tour on July 21, 2010 at Yoshi's San Francisco!
This event premieres performers with strong roots in music and artistry. Sam Bostic's Soul Supreme released in 2008 with critical success and charted strong on Billboard. Adesha's album is set to release in Fall 2010 and will celebrate her strength as a singer and songwriter. A special guest is slated to be announced.
Does the name Tracy ring a bell? Maybe Sam Bostic sounds more familiar to you? As the lead singer and founder of the acclaimed `90s Oakland, CA based trio Art `n Soul, he was featured on the Billboard Top 20 hit single "Ever Since You Went Away" (on Big Beat/Atlantic Records). The 2007 Bay Area Music Award winner for (Best Neo Soul Performer) writer/platinum producer and the infamous creator of mob music, he has been at the helm of several Bay Area hip hop tracks including E-40's hits "Sprinkle Me" and "Dusted & Disgusted" from the platinum "In A Major Way," "Heavy in the Game" from 2-Pac's double-platinum selling "Me Against the World" CD, as well as "Come On" from Master P's multi-platinum "I'm Bout It" soundtrack.
Baptized in the soul of the masters that came before him, Sam is ready to step onto the scene again releasing his solo debut CD, Soul Supreme: The Eclectic Collection, under his independently owned and operated House of Soul Recordings.
While Art N' Soul is still very much in tact, the group is currently on a temporary hiatus. So Sam has been flexing his solo skills. Just prior to waxing Soul Supreme, Sam landed a slot with his Bluesy/Soulful track "1 More Try" in the 2003 Martin Lawrence film, "National Security." The song was nicely featured during a scene where Martin was frisking and cuffing a butter scotch toned foxy culprit. And now that his album is complete, Sam has taken his package out on the road to give people a show and win the respect of audiences worldwide.

Special Guest Adesha
Although Adesha Johnson seems relatively new to the music scene, she really isn't. Adesha was born into a family of entertainers. Both of her parents were entertainers which sparked their want to name their daughter Adesha, which is Sanskrit for "Voice".
Although she is from the Bay Area, her strong Southern roots are evident in powerful yet sultry delivery as a vocalist and lyrical expertise. In addition to her being a singer, she is acclaimed as a "lyrical genius". Combing her voice and lyrics with the musical expertise of keyboardist Allen Ross, bassist Aaron Baugh, and drummer Brian Braziel, core members of her band "Seven", what you get is an awesome musical experience. If you haven't heard them, you are truly missing out.
Drawing her greatest inspiration from notable artists such as Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Nina Simone and Stevie Wonder, one can understand where Adesha's fusion of New Soul originates. When asked about her influences Adesha responds "I want to be responsible for the revival of music with a message. It's time to infuse people with soul again".

Recognized as the leading female vocal group by Cuba's most influential and critical music icons, SEXTO SENTIDO is breathing new life into the international jazz scene. The ladies frequently collaborate with legendary artists such as Chucho Valdés, Pablo Milanés, Silvio Rodriguez. Certified by Valdés as "Creators of the most important vocal-work in Cuba in past three decades. Their ability to dwell inside complex harmonic arrangements transcends Cuba".
SEXTO SENTIDO recorded their first record "Bossa Cubana" (Elephant Records) after travelling abroad for various cultural events. The project featured a collection of classic Brazilian songs tinged with Cuban elements. Their newest release "MI FEELING" (Ahi Nama) has already achieved strong remarks including Best Vocal Recording at the Cubadisco International Expo and is consistently gaining airplay across jazz radio stations in the NPR/PRI Network. With this release, SEXTO SENTIDO implements their own style and interpretation of the classic works of Cuba's most respected writers and composers, such as René Touzet, Marta Valdés and Jose Dolores Quiñones.
SEXTO SENTIDO has now become a familiar entity with audiences far outside of Cuba due to frequent appearances on the jazz festival circuit throughout Europe where they became a national sensation in countries like Russia, France, Bulgaria, and Monaco. They've experienced increased popularity across Latin America as well at various cultural festivals as ambassadors of traditional Cuban jazz. The ladies of SEXTO SENTIDO have also enjoyed working with contemporary music producers like Guy Sigsworth and Norman Cook (aka Fatboy-Slim). They've recorded multiple tracks for film projects produced by the London-based studio NDF International bringing SEXTO SENTIDO's work into a new medium. As jazz aficionados across North America keep discovering the sultry, sassy yet sophisticated sound of SEXTO SENTIDO, the group is very excited about preparations for their groundbreaking 2010 tour in the US and beyond.

"It must have taken more than one lifetime of music to produce Larry Carlton, he is the sum and son of a long lineage, beyond time, and beyond rational explanations of dedication or practice, the work of his hands speaks grace and passion and timeless knowledge. Listen, learn and be profoundly moved." ‐ Sting.
"If Royal Scam is the definitive Steely Dan guitar album, then Larry Carlton is the reason why." ‐ Walter Becker of Steely Dan
There are two reasons why Larry Carlton's Fire Wire is a rebirth for one of the great guitarists of our time. The first, of course, is Carlton himself. His playing here is more direct, more raw and emotional than anything he's laid down in recent years. The second reason is his producer, Csaba Petocz.
A veteran producer who has worked on 37 #1 hit songs and 32 platinum albums, Petocz has spent time in the studio with Ted Nugent and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Metallica and Etta James, Elvis Costello and Aaron Neville.
He's comfortable with hard-core, no-holds-barred, soulful blues and snarling rock & roll. He cut what Rolling Stone would hail as one of the three greatest rock guitar solos of all time (on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne"), appeared on more than one hundred gold albums, won three Grammy Awards for Best Pop Instrumental Performance ("Theme From Hill Street Blues," "Minute by Minute," and "Live in Osaka"), (14 Grammy nominations) and otherwise carved out his space among the world's great instrumentalists.
Guided by Petocz, Carlton returns to the world of rock and roll with white hot zeal. Fire Wire is not just about great guitar; it is the product of the powerful collaboration of two musical legends.

He also happens to be working on his debut album with music producer Quincy Jones.
It's a lot for his first year, but this 24-year-old is definitely not slowing down. Most recently, he co-wrote with Quincy Jones the music for the song "Better City, Better Life" which was chosen to be the Official Theme Song of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
Born in Havana, Cuba, Alfredo trained in the famous Manuel Saumell Classical Music Conservatory until his lucky break came in 2006 when he was selected as one of twelve pianists in the world to play at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. In Montreux, Alfredo was noticed by legendary music producer Quincy Jones. Just like Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith and the many other enormous talents that Quincy Jones has discovered, Alfredo struck a chord in Quincy and Quincy decided to begin working together with Alfredo.
Alfredo's debut CD will be released in July of 2010 on Qwest Records and his first European tour will be this Summer. Alfredo's influences range from Bach, Beethoven, and Stravinsky to Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, and Quincy Jones.
In the words of Quincy Jones, "He is very special and I do not say that easily because I have been surrounded by the best musicians in the world my entire life and he is one of the best."

Coronavirus Disinfectants
Disinfectants are chemical agents designed to inactivate or destroy microorganisms on inert surfaces. Disinfection does not necessarily kill all microorganisms, especially resistant bacterial spores; it is less effective than sterilization, which is an extreme physical or chemical process that kills all types of life. Disinfectants are generally distinguished from other antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics, which destroy microorganisms within the body, and antiseptics, which destroy microorganisms on living tissue. Disinfectants are also different from biocides—the latter are intended to destroy all forms of life, not just microorganisms. Disinfectants work by destroying the cell wall of microbes or interfering with their metabolism. It is also a form of decontamination, and can be defined as the process whereby physical or chemical methods are used to reduce the amount of pathogenic microorganisms on a surface.
Covid-19 Sanitisation
Sanitizers are substances that simultaneously clean and disinfect. Disinfectants kill more germs than sanitizers. Disinfectants are frequently used in hospitals, dental surgeries, kitchens, and bathrooms to kill infectious organisms. Sanitizers are mild compared to disinfectants and are used majorly to clean things which are in human contact whereas disinfectants are concentrated and are used to clean surfaces like floors and building premises.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It has since spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic.
The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads mainly when an infected person is in close contactCornoavirus with another person. Small droplets and aerosols containing the virus can spread from an infected person's nose and mouth as they breathe, cough, sneeze, sing, or speak. Other people are infected if the virus gets into their mouth, nose or eyes. The virus may also spread via contaminated surfaces, although this is not thought to be the main route of transmission. The exact route of transmission is rarely proven conclusively, but infection mainly happens when people are near each other for long enough. It can spread as early as two days before infected persons show symptoms, and from individuals who never experience symptoms. People remain infectious for up to ten days in moderate cases, and two weeks in severe cases. Various testing methods have been developed to diagnose the disease. The standard diagnosis method is by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) from a nasopharyngeal swab.
Decontamination (sometimes abbreviated as decon, dcon, or decontam) is the process of removing contaminants on an object or area, including chemicals, micro-organisms or radioactive substances. This may be achieved by chemical reaction, disinfection or physical removal. It refers to specific action taken to reduce the hazard posed by such contaminants, as opposed to general cleaning.
Covid-19 Cleaning Services
Cleaning Services are accomplished by physically wiping surfaces to clean and remove visible soils. #Disinfection Services kill viruses on surfaces or objects. Disinfecting works by using EPA registered chemicals to wet surfaces and allowing contact/dwell time to kill the virus in compliance with CDC guidelines.

I will be the first to admit that there wasn't a pandemic portion of my career coach training way back when. We're all in new territory, and anyone who says they know exactly what to do right now is a liar. Now that we got that out of the way!
What Other People Think
As I said in my previous blog post, there is no such thing as job security. That also implies that there are no recession-proof jobs. Nothing is guaranteed safe. Bleak, I know, but accepting it makes it slightly less bleak, doesn't it?
But we're humans, we're pattern-making machines. Of course we're going to try to predict trends in the job market in the midst of a pandemic! The projections and predictions from various experts vary in scope and positivity:
In an interview with NPR, Mark Peltz, dean of careers, life, and service at Iowa's Grinnell College, makes his guess as to what industries will continue to grow: "communications, consumer products, biotechnology, medical supplies, and logistics."
Josh Bersin doesn't go into specific fields but rather sees the digital transformation that we're currently in. Digital workflows aren't going anywhere any time soon, and companies, employers, and job seekers are quickly adapting to shifting everything online, and so far, it's working out okay. Bersin thinks that automation and VR will thrive after this: no more cashiers, and training will be done through Oculus sets.
Three reporters over at CNBC share their predictions from the future—from more equitable pay for women and more flex time to changes in office structure and less middle management positions.
Again I want to point out that no one has the answers right now. All we have are educated guesses. If you've heard different predictions of the job market and workforce ahead, please email or message me on LinkedIn. I'd love to hear more!
A lot of organizations are compiling a list of companies that are hiring or freezing hiring. I'll share a few here that seem to be constantly updating. But these resources are everywhere: news sources, organizations, forums, you name it.
Candor, a site that usually aims toward helping people negotiate salary, has a constantly updated crowdsourced list of who is hiring and who isn't.
LinkedIn is also keeping a running list of companies who are hiring, as is the Muse. Your local news sites will also have similar resources, like ABC's.
A Word of Caution
While it's good to know what companies are and aren't hiring right now—for the purposes of applying as well as gaining more market awareness—you still shouldn't rely too heavily on job sites and job postings.
Even though we can't hug, shake hands, or stand too close to each other for too long, human connection is still the best way to find a new job. Reach out to people you know or met once at a networking event. We're all online now, so use LinkedIn, email, text—whatever is appropriate for your relationship. Cold emailing is also an option for someone you haven't met yet but would love to learn more from them.
And yes, you can't invite them out for coffee right now to pick their brains. But maybe you do a video chat over your own mugs of preferred beverage. Maybe you email them your questions, or text chat. We're all already (somewhat) used to this new digital connection. Right now, we can all use a little more connection.

In many parts of the country, driving through wind and snow is just a part of your average winter. However, it's not every day that you end up driving in a whiteout.
Drivers are often caught off guard when snow is being blown across roadways and visibility becomes virtually nonexistent. If weather conditions are bad enough, make an executive decision to stay home.
However, if you absolutely have to go out—or conditions aren't quite bad enough to warrant staying home—follow these tips to help you reach your destination safely.
- Slow down. Speed limits are set for summer conditions, when snow and ice aren't an issue. (Check out our full list of driving don'ts.) If you're driving in a whiteout, drive slowly. Also, periodically check your speedometer—without visual cues passing by, it's easy to speed up without realizing it after a while.
- Avoid abrupt acceleration, braking and steering. Drive cautiously and gently to avoid slipping and sliding on the road. Also avoid jerking the wheel—overcorrections could put you in a tailspin. Instead, smoothly guide your car where you want it to go.
- Don't tailgate.This is important at any time, but especially when you're driving in a whiteout. Leave more room than you normally would between your car and the car in front of you.
- Avoid changing lanes or passing other drivers. Reduced visibility makes it hard to see when someone else has the same idea.
- Avoid using cruise control. Tapping the brakes to turn off cruise control can cause your tires to lose traction. If you need to slow down, take your foot off the accelerator and let your car slow down gradually.
- Look beyond the car in front of you. It's easy to lock your gaze on the taillights in front of you. It's a better bet to keep your gaze further ahead.
- Put your fog lights or low beams on. Low beams are a better choice than high beams since there's less bounce back from ice particles in the air.
- Defrost your windows. Activate the defroster for the front and rear windows. It's best not to press the recirculate button—doing so tends to make your windows fog up more due to the increased moisture in the air.
- Reduce distractions. Beyond obvious ones like refraining from texting while driving, you might consider turning off the radio, not eating or smoking, and putting any conversations on hiatus so you can really focus on the road. (The one exception: Tuning into weather reports.)
- Be prepared to reroute. If a weather report says a certain area is closed off or backed up, reroute your course. The announcer often will give an alternative route.
- Watch out for black ice. It's extremely slippery and dangerous—so make sure you know how to spot it and how to handle driving on it.
- Pull over. If conditions are bad enough that you can't see the roads, put on your four-way flashers and park in a safe place off the road. Avoid going to the side of the road unless it's an absolute emergency, as this can create a dangerous situation for you and other drivers.
- Prepare an emergency kit. In case you find yourself stuck, be sure to prep a kit with essentials that can be stored in your car all year round.

In the case of a broken leg, for example, our surgeons can perform such procedures as bone plating, pinning and/or wiring to successfully mend the fractured bones. On the other hand, if your pet experiences a knee ligament injury, procedures such as a TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or extracapsular repair may be recommended. Dislocated knee caps may sometimes require surgery to minimize pain and improve your pet's quality of life. If there is a problem inside a joint, surgeons may recommend minimally invasive arthroscopy to remove the source of your pet's pain. In any case, be assured that our orthopedic surgical team will do their best to achieve the best outcome possible for your pet.

Men who were diagnosed with ADHD as children are more likely to be obese in adulthood, according to a new study.
The men who had ADHD weighed 19 pounds more at age 41 than otherwise similar men who hadn't had ADHD as boys, the researchers found.
"It makes sense, because they're self-medicating with carbohydrates," says Dr. Edward Hallowell, a psychiatrist in Sudbury, Mass., who has ADHD and treats adults with ADHD. "Carbs do the same thing that stimulant medications do — promote dopamine," says Hallowell, who wasn't involved in the latest study. "So you get the gallon of ice cream at midnight."
Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder may affect up to 11 percent of American children, the majority of them boys.
Earlier studies had suggested that adults with ADHD may be more likely to gain weight.
That research doesn't prove that the ADHD is causing the weight gain. And this new study doesn't prove that, either. But it does provide better evidence for a potential link because it followed the same group of people over time. It looked at a group of 111 boys with ADHD at age 8. Then their weight was assessed at age 41. The men with ADHD were then compared to similar men who didn't have ADHD as children.
The men who had had ADHD weighed an average of 213 pounds, and 41 percent of them were obese. By contrast, the men who hadn't had ADHD weighed 194 pounds on average, and 22 percent were obese.
The study leaders realized that weight was becoming an an issue for their participants when some who came in for MRI scans were too fat to fit in the machine.
"In most studies you eliminate those people," says F. Xavier Castellanos, a psychiatrist at the Child Study Center at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York and a co-author of the study, which was published in the journal Pediatrics. Instead, the researchers started collecting information on the participants' weight and body mass, or BMI.
This study doesn't figure out why boyhood ADHD might be causing weight problems in adulthood. The weight gain could be caused by psychological factors or neurobiology, Castellanos speculates. Differences in the pathways for dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain, have been found in both people who are obese and people with ADHD, he says.
Or it could be that the impulsiveness typical of ADHD makes it harder for people to say no to food. Children who take stimulant medications like Ritalin typically don't have problems with weight gain because the medications suppress appetite. But eating issues may emerge later.
Hallowell says he often sees adult patients with ADHD who struggle with overeating. "Nutrition should be part of the treatment plan," he says.
Parents of children with ADHD should take particular care to make sure their children develop lifelong good eating habits, Castellanos says. "The reality is that ADHD people can be at risk for being swayed by temptation."
