text: Administrator Account / Monday, June 19, 2017 / Categories: Speeches & Remarks May, 2017: All-College Meeting Good afternoon, welcome to the last All College meeting of Academic year 2016-2017. It is a pleasure to have with us friends and family of NVCC: It is good to reflect on a year that has brought both significant achievements and challenges. We have been able to collaborate and to manage efficiently to our students' benefit. The present state of the budget in Connecticut, will challenge us to move in efficient and student-centered ways. We will manage change, as we have done in the past, with courage and generosity. We will continue to find ways to collaborate and to advocate for collaborations that will help our beautiful NVCC move forward in a generous and supportive manner for our students. As we navigate change today and in the years to come, I know we will honor our values and stay very close to our mission and vision as a dedicated and very successful community college. Student success is today, and has been for many years, our ultimate goal and our expectation. I take pride this afternoon in reminding us all that in September 2016, the U.S. Department of Education announced that NVCC is among the top 25 community colleges nationwide that advance opportunities for low-income students. Colleges were ranked by their effectiveness in serving low-income students with relatively high outcomes, and an excellent repayment rate of student loans. I am privileged to stand here today and to affirm that at Naugatuck Valley Community College, our faculty and staff understand and embrace the very great responsibility we have, especially in difficult times, to change lives and communities. Thanks to everyone's good work, supported by a generous community we celebrate today with Dr. Peter Jacoby, our Capital Campaign Champion, with Provost Troup and Dean Kostrzewa and with so many of you the success of our Capital Campaign. The NVCC family and our community partners have supported the campaign most generously. You all certainly have risen to the challenge in numerous ways. As you have heard from Dr. Jacoby there is so much to celebrate this fall coming between October 12 and 14, the dates designated for the official ribbon cutting of Founders Hall, the campus-wide improvement project, and the closing of the 50th Anniversary festivities. I hope you all can join us and participate. There is a fantastic steering committee ready to engage your support and ideas, as we have invited in a number of Weekly Bulletin notes. How gratifying it is to know that we have done the right and the just thing by our students. It has been a good year, despite continued budget challenges. We will continue to operate fiscally in the black, and are projecting a balanced budget for this fiscal year. We are on our way to achieve our goals of continued success for our students. Commencement on May 25 will find us, once again, awarding a total number of associate degrees and certificates of more than 1,000. Final numbers will be determined by August 1. We have prepared the first draft of Highlights for Academic Year 2016-2017, on the registration table. Please send Beth Monchun your comments about any glaring omissions by the end of this month, as we will be updating it for the June 9 community meeting. I will just take a few minutes here to point with gratitude to some of our achievements: Student Leadership: I begin thanking our students who have shared with me, with community members and elected officials how NVCC and a significant number of our faculty and staff have helped them find their way and supported their journey: SGA leadership, WAVE students, President's Circle students, The Tamarack leadership, students in our arts program, theater program, manufacturing, horticulture, hospitality, nursing and allied health, among many, have acted as ambassadors for the work we do here. Mil gracias. Student Services: NVCC's Student Jobs on Campus (SJOC) continues to provide employment opportunity to NVCC students throughout the year at both the Waterbury and the Danbury campus. Between Student Jobs on Campus, Work Study and the expanded Work Study Pilot, the College employs more than 100 students throughout both campuses. Academic Year 2016-2017 marks the first year of NVCC's partnership with the Hispanic Federation to implement the CREAR/Futuros initiative connecting NVCC student mentors to NVCC student mentees in support of retention and completion. Mentors are hired and paid by the Hispanic Federation under a $30,000 grant they received to support this initiative. This spring NVCC was provided an opportunity from the Fairfield County Community Foundation and its Pasculano Transfer Scholarship initiative to offer two graduating female students a scholarship award of $ 5,000 each, per year, for two years, to transfer to an accredited four-year institution to continue their academic studies. Applications are being reviewed and selected recipients will be announced in the upcoming weeks. In August 2016, for the third year in a row, a group of students and staff traveled to New Jersey as part of Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild a home damaged by Hurricane Sandy; a group of students and staff will return to New Jersey this summer. NVCC students continued their proud tradition of civic engagement at the State Capitol. In February 2017, NVCC students traveled to Hartford to speak out on behalf of the College and against the proposed cuts to higher education. In April, students traveled by bus to Hartford to represent NVCC during CSCU Day at the Capitol. For the eighth year in a row, the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen stayed open on Sundays and holidays, an effort led by the Hispanic Student Union to prepare and serve meals, through the financial support of Webster Bank. Academic Affairs: NVCC Allied Health licensure and certification pass rates for the class of 2016 continued to demonstrate the strength of the College's programs. Results above the national average were reported with 100% pass rates for the Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Care and Physical Therapy Assistant programs, and a 94% pass rate for the Nursing Program. The newly International Center for the Arts had a one day inaugural celebration that included multicultural music, dance, art and presentations. Felipe Karam unveiled his signature violin piece for us, "Jacareando," at an evening recital that brought significant talent to the college. The College has now held six of the seven industry sector summits. This academic year we began implementation of the newly registered Cybersecurity major, more than 100 students are taking courses in this much in-demand area. This spring we hosted the Horticulture/Hospitality Summit, unveiling a draft of a proposed joint major in Sustainable Food System. Academic Affairs will be working with industry partners and faculty members on the preparation of the degree proposal; Administration: The renovation of Founders Hall was a collaborative effort from start to finish. Funded by a $39-million bond allocation from the State Bond Commission and with generous support from our state legislative delegation, System Office colleagues, and the Department of Construction Services, the Founders Hall Center for Health Sciences opened as the spring 2017 semester began. The entire NVCC Family--students, faculty, staff, Foundation, Regional Advisory Council, alumni, and community leaders, to name only a few-- have joined the effort to purchase modern equipment for the Center's top notch Nursing and Allied Health programs. Graduates are hired quickly, responding to the area's growing need for job-ready and caring healthcare professionals. Dr. Peter Jacoby of St. Mary's Hospital is the community champion of the campaign and has brought NVCC in touch with generous corporate and individual donors. NVCC's new Danbury Campus location at 190 Main Street officially opened in September. The opening of our beautiful new campus was another collaborative effort between NVCC, the Department of Construction Services and the System Office. President Ojakian was instrumental in securing the final signed lease allowing us to occupy our new quarters. Located in Danbury's downtown district across from the Danbury Public Library, the new space occupies approximately 20,000 square feet-- over three times the size of the previous campus site. It accommodates credit and non-credit classes, with substantial capacity to increase enrollment in both areas. The campus offers improved resources for NVCC students including additional classrooms; a large lecture space; computer lab; science labs and prep room; a health lab; a large multipurpose room for tutoring, library services and a seasonal bookstore; a student lounge; and faculty and staff offices. Outfitting of the new Danbury Campus was supported by a $2-million allocation from the State Bond Commission. Evening bus service for the campus and the City of Waterbury advocated by NVCC and initiated in October 2011, has continued to grow. As of March 31, 2017, students using the UPASS have taken approximately 706,110 day and evening rides. Over 1,245,594 Waterbury residents have utilized evening bus service. Over 8,860 UPASSes were distributed to NVCC students through AY 2016-2017. Students and NVCC staff celebrated the inaugural Danbury UPASS bus ride in October 2015, with over 250 passes issued between then and December 2016. The College has also implemented a plan with the Peter Pan company to provide bus services between Danbury and Waterbury. The Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (AMTC) reports 100% full-time job placement for its December 2016 certificate recipients from the Waterbury evening cohort. It is anticipated that 100% of the Waterbury daytime cohort graduates will be placed into full-time positions following completion of the program in May. The Danbury program (CAMI) had its first cohort graduate in December 2016 Community Engagement: NVCC hosted its third Fulbright Scholar-In-Residence this year. Felipe Karam, a music scholar from Brazil, taught courses at NVCC and worked with Bravo Waterbury!, the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra's youth-focused music and personal growth community program. Human Resources: Human Resources led the implementation of Core CT Self Service Time Entry for NVCC employees. As of May 1, HR has trained 259 faculty and staff on CORE Self Service, and they are now entering and submitting their time electronically. The summer months represent for many of us a period of rest, reflection and planning in anticipation of the new academic year. As the year comes to a close, I reflect on our self-discipline, self-awareness and our generosity of spirit. We managed difficult budgetary times while still providing our students with a joyful and productive learning environment. As the final report on this year's Wildly Important Goals and my End-of-Year Report to the College-- both to be distributed later on this month-- indicate there is good and steady work going on here and our progress is measurable. The results are clear. Many of you contribute generously to the many activities in support of the College's Strategic Plan and its implementation. As I contemplate the work we have undertaken and will continue to undertake with a hopeful heart and generous intelligence, I thank the members of my Management Team whose leadership is to be respected on any college campus: Jim Troup, Irene Rios-Knauf, Sarah Gager, Wally Kostrzewa, Conal Larkin, Ron Picard, Antonio Santiago, Kim Carolina, Beth Monchun, Angela Chapman, Noel Rosamilio and Lisa Rodrigues-Doolabh. The joy of this afternoon and that of so many other occasions would not be possible without the caring and professional leadership and commitment of Beth Monchun and Jessica Hernandez, and the generous support of Susan Chase. I thank Professor Tuccio and his students for the beautiful flowers; for the gift of music, we are indebted to Felipe Karam. I am very fortunate to have such a kind and professional staff and a dedicated faculty. Thank you all. As you have heard me say before, there is hard but richly rewarding work ahead of us. Let each and every one of us continue the journey to make this the most splendid college on the face of the earth. As I close my remarks, I'd like to recall Pablo Neruda's Nobel Laureate address, "Toward a Splendid City", as I have done in the past: "All paths lead to the same goal; to convey to others what we are…but in this dance or in this song, there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny." I wish you all a very Happy Mother's Day and an end of semester filled with the rewards of the spirit and the intellect. Mil gracias y bendiciones, Daisy Cocco De Filippis, Ph.D. President January, 2017: All-College Meeting June, 2017: Eighth Annual Community Meeting Print 1530

Miele Dust Bags
The bags are as stated they fit the cleaner with no problem and work very well.

Great Value for Money
Who wants to pay a fortune to collect dust ! I certainly don't. No reason to pay Miele prices, these vacuum cleaner bags are identical. Fit the vacuum perfectly, are well made and last just as long as ones from the original supplier. Since finding Your Spares I have never purchased original Miele vacuum cleaner bags again. Best find ever :) Absolutely brilliant, speedy service. Second to none, hence 5 star rating.

Good but smaller bags for vacuum cleaner
I bought these bags particularly for the filters, which are not included in the bags I usually buy. The filters are a rather thin generic material that I need to cut to fit, though there are no indications given. The bags seem very good and appear to work well but are smaller than my regular ones - 7 inches wide as opposed to 8 inches, and less deep, The red plastic fitting seems to work far better than my previous bags so more frequent change of bag is likely to be worth it. Ease of use appears to be excellent.

Could you please confirm that one Motor Filter and one Super Air Clean Filter is included. Please also confirm that use of these bags would not damage the vacuum cleaner
I would like to get the confidence that use of these bags would not affect the performance of the Miele vacuum cleaner I recently bought, in the long run.

Full Details
These AllergyFlow dust bags will last up to fifty percent longer than the standard paper bags and provide better filtering, meaning your home is a healthier place to live.
Why choose these Miele equivalent vacuum bags?
vacuum cleaner bags should have some important features outlined below
- Longer lasting and more usage
- Capable of higher suction power and not lose suction as the bag becomes full
- A superior filteration system, helping you keep a healthier home
The synthetic material vacuum bag is made up from many internal layer
The inner layer acts as a first filter preventing the pores from getting blocked and therefore providing the bag with its continued strength
- The middle internal layers provide the best possible level of filtration of dust, therefore providing a much healthier home environment and improving the performance from your vacuum cleaner
- The external layers will ensure the bags do not split and provice a tear resistance second to none, this in turn will also protect all of the internal layers.
So just what are the advantages of using these miele fjm vacuum bags?
Fifty percent extra life: These vacuum cleaner dust bags have fifty percemt extended usage because the dust is sucked in and absorbed without blocking the pores,this significantly reduces any loss of power from your vacuum cleaner. The synthetic material bag adjusts to fit the bag holder compartment which means the bag will not need emptying until it's full, this really helps reduce the cost of the bags as paper bags often need changing when they are just half full.
MORE POWER FOR YOUR VACUUM CLEANER: Because the material ensures maximum air and evenly distributes the dust which has been collected your vacuum cleaner will maintain maximum power for much longer.
EXCELLENT FILTRATION: Allergyflow material will filter the air that the vacuum cleaner uses back into the room removing any nasty smells that are usually common with vacuum cleaners. Because of the filtration system less dust is exhausted into the rooms which will often end up on furniture and doors. Because of this filtration system used in these bags households are left cleaner and forty percent less dust is left in the air, this makes this product perfect for allergy sufferers.
EXCELLENT RESISTANCE: Due to the high quality material used for these vacuum cleaner dust bags it means that items which are not usually acceptable for vacuuming can be sucked up without worrying about the bags splitting etc. Glass and small amounts of liquid will not cause an issue any more.
SINGLE USE ONLY: These vacuum dust bags are for single use only so should not be emptied and refilled. The material is made of polypropylene and this material is suitable for burning and will release no harmful toxins.

Author, Roald Dahl said, "An autobiography is a book a person writes about his own life and it is usually full of all sorts of boring details." The same can be said about resumes. Too often when writing your resume, you might include more details than are necessary because you are under the impression that the more information you provide the better. After all, this might be the only shot you have to wow the reader and you had better get as much in there as possible. This approach, however, would be detrimental to your job search.
One of the most common mistakes job seekers make when writing their resume is including too much information. You want to clearly convey the value that you would bring to a position but at the same time not go overboard describing every aspect of every task you ever performed. The objective is to be succinct while still making an impact. Too much detail and you will overwhelm your reader. They will not even take the time to finish reading your resume and it will end up in the trash.
Take a look at the following example.
There are two main issues with the above example. First, it is too long and rambling with unnecessary information that would be better presented in a face to face interview. A bullet that long is too much and is essentially a paragraph disguised as a bullet. The point of using a bullet is to present a concise, hard-hitting statement. Breaking it up into separate bullets would make a bigger impact. The second issue is that the most important information is buried at the end. You want to present your accomplishment upfront using numbers whenever possible. Make it the first thing the reader sees, not the last.
The key is to provide the highlights with a few details that support the achievement. For example:
It is not necessary to explain how you leveraged your relationships, ensured broad market coverage, or what strategies you applied to optimize sales opportunities. You've given just enough information to showcase your value to your reader; anything more would be too much. Essentially, you should aim to highlight your accomplishment and the approach you took to achieve it. Save the details for the interview; that is the time to expand on exactly how you did these things. If you put everything on the resume you'll have nothing left to share during an interview.
The amount of time a hiring manager will spend reading your resume is minimal. This is especially true if your resume expands beyond two pages, which you may be in danger of if you try to include every detail from your professional career. Don't waste their time with unnecessary or irrelevant information.
Think of your resume like a movie preview. In a preview you don't get the whole story, you get an overview of the central theme along with a few significant scenes, just enough to capture your interest and make you want more. And like a movie preview, your resume should be presented in a way that exhibits your selling points and makes the reader want even more – which they'll get when they call you for an interview.
As the saying goes, less is more, and it certainly applies when referring to your resume. Give the reader a taste of all you have to offer while leaving them wanting more. That way you'll be able to wow them in the interview with all the details.

Student Posture
Don't Let Student Life Ruin Your Posture
Sitting, studying, stressing, repeat. That can make up a good portion of a student's day. During this time of year with mid-term exams, essays, and readings, we often find an influx of students visiting our clinics for chiropractic care and massage therapy. While most are aware of the importance of good posture, especially with the increased news coverage of topics such as "Text Neck" and "Sitting Is The New Smoking", many continue with their bad habits. These posture habits can lead to pain and discomfort in the back and neck, contribute to headaches, and other aches and pains.
There are four things which can easily be implemented to help students improve their posture:
1. Protecting You Lower Back
Maintaining your lumbar curve while you sit, reduces the amount of work your muscles and joints have to do. When you are in a slouched posture, you alter your lumbar curvature and your body has to rely more on the muscles in the lower back to support you. This leads to muscular fatigue, overstretch of the ligaments and pain. You can use a small sweater or a BackVitalizer to help support your lumbar curve. Making sure you are sitting in a comfortable chair with lumbar support can also be helpful. Placing your feet flat on the ground and crossing at the ankles instead of the knees can reduce the strain on your lower back. Using a footrest also improves your lumbar curve while seated.
2. Limit Your Laptop Use
Laptops have become the main computer that we use due to the convenience of their portability. However, they wreak havoc on our necks, backs, and shoulders. There is nothing ergonomic about a laptop. It's inevitable that you will end up hunched forward in a poor posture while working away on your essays and papers. What you can do, however, is opt for an external keyboard that you can plug into your computer, and place within close reach. You can then prop your computer up on a box, milk crate, stack of books to an appropriate height, right in front of your eyes. This will make a tremendous difference to the health of your neck, back, and shoulders.
3. Get Up And Move Around
Our bodies love movement. Getting up and moving around regularly is the best thing that you can do. For easy stretches, check out Straighten Up Canada. It's a free app that can help get you moving regularly.
4. Don't Overload Your Backpack
Did you know, we are only supposed to carry 10-15% of our body weight? This includes the weight of the backpack itself. When you think about carrying your laptop, maybe a book or two, your lunch and a water bottle, you're probably already over the weight you should carry. On top of that, most people do not wear their backpack properly. For tips on who to properly choose and wear your backpack, check out our blog post Backpack Tips For The School Year.
Correct posture can be a challenge to maintain. Making small changes like those described above can go a long way in improving your posture and reducing your chances of neck pain, back pain, and headaches.
Our clinics serve many students from the University of Ottawa, Carleton, and Algonquin College. If you are experiencing pain and discomfort or have more questions about how your posture can improve, book an appointment with one of our chiropractors or registered massage therapists.
To book an appointment, call 613.860.8600 for our Byward location, and 613.237.9000 for our Glebe location.

We have some amazing IKEA hacks ideas. IKEA is a known brand producing from a rail into a bedroom furniture set. The quality is decent and some more expensive brands are not more durable than IKEA brand.
IKEA also is a popular brand to be hacked, and to be made into a much better pieces of furniture. In fact, some people have proved themshelves to be very creative and decorating their IKEA pieces into amazing ones.
IKEA BEKVAM Step Stool Hack into Play Kitchen
Actually, there are so many ways to hack this IKEA bekvam step stool. But here, the play kitchen made from this stool is amazing.
The hack also is easy to do. The steps are painted in black with some real countertop color. The top counter doesn't have to be redesigned with burner like toys. The easy way is to paint the top with burner painting. That's all and some other touches like shown below.
IKEA INGO Table Hack Into cool Dining Table -Amazing IKEA Hacks Ideas
This table is made of pine wood and comes unfinished. It is a great start to make anything with this table. and one of the result is this one.
Instead of having a plain table, this dining table is awesome with its dark brown color finish. The hack includes power tools to cut and install the subframe as well as adding screws. Also, we can add the length of the table too.
IKEA VARIERA Plastic Bag Dispenser Hack into Wrapping Paper Container
This IKEA VARIERA is the one to store grocery bags, especuially the ones we plan to reuse.
Well, giving the dispenser a new life is not quite difficult anyway. But it can be very functional as well as decorative.
IKEA FINTORP Rail Hacks into Gadget Charging Station
We know that cables / cords can mess and clutter the house. So, a special charging station can be made to declutter the space.
An IKEA Fintorp is just a simple rail ith dark color. Usually we just put it on a wall and use it to hang something. But there, Maggie Lois of Hometalk has turned the simple rail into an amazing charging station with IKEA wire basket.
The charging station is all black but also is adorned with pots and fake plants
IKEA BORRBY Lantern Hack into Cool Terrarium
This lantern is for indoor and outdoor use and can hold a big candle. However, rather than using candle in the lantern, the lantern is filled with soil, stones and plants.
The lantern's new live as terarium seems so promising. The white paint seems as wonderful addition to the table and the pot and plants around. This lartern becomes unique, cute and an interesting DIY project for homeowners.
IKEA TARVA Dresser Hack into Rolling Desk
This hack is a quite big transformation. The top drawer removed and becomes a desk. This link shows you how to do it.
The transformation also includes removing the original legs. And, change the legs with wheels. And as for the appearance, the front side also has been hacked into this amazing design with the initial of the maker.
However, according to the "hacker" warns us about the use of this dresser. Don't put wheels on IKEA dresser since the furniture is already light.
Hacking IKEA furniture can turn into a much more functional furniture as well as furniture with much better look.
As for quality, IKEA has decent quality but we always can add something to add its durability. An IKEA INGO can get a new subframe to make it much stronger than before.
And as DIYers, we can be satisfied for having our special furniture with our specific design that fits our spesial needs.

This Halloween, be the best ghoul around with some stunning vampire makeup. Here's how to do convincing vampire makeup for Halloween.
Start with a moisturizer. Before you start your vampire makeup application, prep your face with a moisturizer. This will help your makeup to stay on longer, and prepare your face for the onslaught of makeup to follow!
Make your face look pale. Vampires never have much color in their faces, so your vampire Halloween makeup needs to be pale. (After all, vampires never see the sun, right?) Find a very pale shade of foundation. If your local drug store doesn't have a light enough shade, visit a costume shop. They'll definitely have a pale facial makeup for this gruesome look. Make sure that you apply this makeup on your entire face and all around your neckline. Cover any part of your upper body that is exposed with this pale color. Keep your pale face color by sealing it in with some powder. A light dusting of baby powder will maintain your vampire color longer.
Do your vampire eyes. The next step to achieving your vampire look this Halloween is to complete your eyes. For the best look, your eye needs to be dark and smokey. You'll need a dark eyeshadow and a dark eyeliner. Start by adding eyeliner to the inside of your eye on both the top and bottom lid. Draw a line from one corner of your eye to the other. Follow this with a very dark eyeshadow (gray, brown, etc.). Apply eyeshadow around the edges of your eyes, making for a dramatic effect. You can't overdo this part of your vampire makeup application.
If you really want to have a convincing vampire look this Halloween, search for some vampire contact lenses. These are white with a tiny dark hole in the middle. They'll make your pupils look very small, and give you a deathly look. It's the perfect addition to your vampire makeup.
Finish with some lip color. Vampires have striking red lips. To achieve this look this Halloween, apply a few coats of the reddest lipstick you can find to your lips. Use your finger to press the lipstick in and rub it around so that your lips will absorb the stain. Try not to stay perfectly within your lip lines - it is supposed to look a bit off.
Add some fake fangs and a few blood drips on your face, and your vampire makeup will be complete.

Drum Synth Plugin
Drum Synth Plugin
Just wondering if Akai Professional has plans to develop a drum synth plugin to compliment the existing synth plugins on the MPC X and MPC Live? Would be cool to be able to create your own kicks, snares and hi-hats using a drum synth plugin!
MPCSOUND did some drum presets using the Live's plugins:
Hey Justin,
Thanks for posting!
Drum programs and getting creative with the plugins that already exist is cool but dedicated drum synthesis would be a whole different animal and I would love to see that come to the hardware! Please be sure to submit this as a feature request with the MPC 2 Software's built-in feedback module. The feedback module is represented by a smiley icon at the lower right side of the software next to the browser icons. This information goes directly to the Akai team for consideration!
If you need an alternative method of submitting feedback, you may use the following links:

Since the dawn of civilization, science or systematic study is behind step-by-step progress to the present position. Science has made a rapid stride in the 20th century. From a pin to rocket, we can see the marvels of science. Today science has become a part and parcel of our existence. The invention of electricity is a landmark in the history of scientific invention. It has brought about a revolutionary change in all spheres of human life. It has given us modern life in true sense of term.
With the help of the invention of telephone, telegraph and teleprinters, news and views are communicated from one place to another within a very short time. The radio is of recent invention, yet it has already worked wonders. It has annihilated all distance. Television is one of wonders of science. It has enabled us to see the event, scenes, plays etc. that take place at distance from us. It is the most up-to-date means of communication and mass education.
The invention of rocket is another wonder of science. With the help of it, space travel has been a reality. It has made true the dream of mans' conquering the moon. Science has done great wonders in the field of medicine and treatment of patients. The invention of penicillin, various vaccines, x-ray, ultra-sonography and other latest methods for diagnosing has done incalculable benefit to man. Science has also made great break through in the field of agriculture. It has replaced our traditional agricultural works by giving us tractors, power pumps, fertilizers, deep tube wells, high yielding varieties of crops. Science has removed the distance of places and saved our time by providing us various speedy vehicles like trains, steamers, motorcars, aero planes etc. These transports have brought the world closer to us.
But to energize these, a lot of under-ground resources are used and pollute the environment by its wastes. The latest miracle of science is computer. It has enabled us to perform any difficult works and calculations most accurately and perfectly in a few seconds. But the greatest wonder of science is the release of the nuclear energy. It has made possible the invention of the atom bomb, the hydrogen bomb and the missiles. All these are being used against mankind. These inventions are considered as the living curse to our life and existence on the earth. But there are unlimited possibilities for nuclear energy to be used for peaceful and constructive purpose. Thus science envelops our existence from head to foot. Wonders are the achievement of science. Let us hope science will be utilized to feed the hunger millions, rehabilitate the shelter less, mitigate the sufferings of the ailing ones and be the saviour of mankind.

VILNIUS, Lithuania — The European Central Bank has taken action to support the economy in the 19-country eurozone, joining other major central banks like the U.S. Federal Reserve in responding to fears about global growth.
The ECB said Thursday it would extend the earliest date for an interest rate increase from year-end to mid-2020. Its benchmark rates are currently at record lows.
The central bank also said it would offer low rates on previously announced two-year loans to banks, provided that the banks exceed lending benchmarks — a step aimed at keeping credit flowing to businesses.
The moves from the eurozone's monetary authority come just two days after Fed Chair Jay Powell signaled a shift in the direction of more stimulus instead of less. Powell said that the Fed is prepared to respond if it decides the Trump administration's trade conflicts are threatening the U.S. economy. Investors read his remarks as a signal that the Fed will likely cut interest rates later this year.
Both the ECB and the Fed have had to halt the withdrawal of massive monetary stimulus they had deployed in the wake of the Great Recession and the global financial crisis. The Fed had started raising rates but put monetary tightening on hold late last year, faced with doubts about where the economy might be headed.
In a news conference on Thursday, ECB President Mario Draghi said the risks still pointed to the "downside," citing risks from protectionism, troubles in emerging markets, and uncertainty about how Britain will leave the European Union. Britain's latest exit deadline is Oct. 31 but it is not clear whether it will leave with a negotiated deal to avoid disruption to trade and supplies of parts and raw materials.
Draghi said that the bank is ready to "use all the instruments that are in the toolbox" to support the economy.
He said that members of the bank's governing council had even raised the possibility of re-starting a bond purchase stimulus program that concluded at the end of the year after 2.6 trillion euros ($2.9 trillion) in purchases.
Like the U.S., the eurozone is seeing economic growth and unemployment has fallen. The eurozone grew 0.4% in the first quarter from the previous three-month period.
But economic indicators have been mixed recently. Businesses have become more cautious due to fears that the trade dispute between the U.S. and China might escalate and result in more tariffs, or import taxes, as U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to reduce China's trade surplus with the U.S.
Meanwhile, inflation has consistently lagged the ECB's goal of just under 2%, even despite the massive bond-buying stimulus program.

I'm struggling y'all and I got to keep it real.
So how is it that on Monday I was pumped to; deep clean, set schedules, wash dishes and laundry, cook huge soul-food dinner (with desert), read books, check in with each kid and tuck in bed…
And RIGHT NOW…
I don't want to see a broom, dish, GOOGLE calendar, chicken wing, Dr. Seuss character, or an adolescent attitude-AND I WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO GETS TO GO TO BED FIRST TONIGHT!
And this whole age long debate over which is harder being a working or stay at home Momma just needs to stop! I'm doing both right now and it's ALL HARD. Each have it's perks and it's problems.
(Single-Momma's-you are seriously God's angels in disguise and you got a one-up on us all).
No matter where you find yourself on the Momma path do you ever want to just be done with it?-this Momma does!
Yep I said it! I want to strike, drop-out-quit-the mundane, everyday-stick-to-it, domestic requirements of being a woman. Can I get a witness?
I can't keep up.
I can't keep up with the messes, routines, Food Network recipes in boxes, development stages, emotional needs of each of my children and hot date night with Hubby.
At least not today…
How do I reconcile both my domestic diva spurts and domestic dropout pouts? It's like having Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey at war living in the same house.
Half the week I love to lace up apron, stir in spices and lay out Pinterest dining room table. Other half, I want to click in heels or hike in boots to the jazziest restaurant or highest mountains.
Wanta purchase a plane ticket straight out of my messy nest and head to the Nuyorican in New York or better yet, national parks of Nairobi-but I can't.
At least not today…
This morning as I'm asking my heart what it's really thirsting for-why am I feeling split in two-this is what is coming up…
Embrace your love for ordered rooms, fancy feasts, full hearts, extended communion with family and friends and I leave open uncharted road, relaxation, adventure, goal-reaching and sacred solitude.
Both are YOU and both are IMPORTANT TO ME!
You may not be able walk daily in both pairs of shoes but don't toss either out for the Goodwill truck to pick up.
Your heart is a dwelling place I desire for beauty that needs the same attention to the detail, diligence and duty you desire for your physical dwelling place. And it takes TIME, REORDERING and DAILY PICK-UP for me to transform you into who I created you to be.
God is showing me I am placing too much value to my Martha tendencies and ignoring my Mary heart that needs desperately to stop, sit awhile- and be with him SO HE CAN DO HIS WORK IN ME.
Why do I keep ignoring his invitation to be still?
Because other's can see the days that I do chose you. Often times leaving my home and my children out of order. And I don't to be judged. Especially as a christian wife and mother I am also suppose to be your example of domestic perfection- right?
And I wrestled with the deep guilt that kepts coming up when I began to admit honest feelings of frustration and resentment for my discontentment with my role as wife and mom.
Wait,wait, no…. it's not the role of wife and mom it's the requirements of maintaining at optimium level, to keep up the necessary pieces to execute my passion for being the best Wifey and Momma I desire to be.
But what if our spirits, hearts and minds are equally cluttered and disarrayed-isn't that just as important? Although you can't see the cobwebs in my thinking or the piles of dreams stacked high in my soul-they are there-and they are needing attention-and so do yours!
So today instead of reaching for my color-coded planner, let's ask God to stay awhile in this quiet moment and paint wide strokes of freedom over our hearts.
Lord Jesus,
We are here.
Sitting still.
Please give us freedom to give up the "keep up" and receive what is needed for you to "keep" our souls.
And whatever you chose for us this day that needs our service and your glory- rather it be the folding of sheets or the fanning of dreams-we surrender.
As long as you stay close, so we don't lose sight, of the beauty you desire to create in us through the work of our hands.
(and not our roles or to-do lists).

American qualifier Cori "Coco" Gauff continued her history-making Wimbledon run in a dramatic way, stunning five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in the opening round of her Grand Slam debut, 6-4, 6-4..
Last week Gauff, aged 15, made good on a qualifying wildcard and tore through the draw without dropping a set, knocking out top seed Aliona Bolsova and Greet Minnen along the way. After becoming the youngest player ever to qualify for Wimbledon in the Open Era, she told press that her dream first-round encounter would be to take on either Williams sister – and a day later, the unveiled draw had her pitted against former champion Venus.
Gauff didn't look nervous by the occasion, going toe to toe with one of the legends of the game and at her opponent's favorite venue: Venus owns five Wimbledon trophies, more than any other player aside from Martina Navratilova and Serena Williams.

Will you lay down your life for My sake? John 13:38
Jesus responds to Peter's claims with this question. Will you? Then He exposed Peter by foretelling the disciple's coming denial. Why did He do that? Jesus requires more than being willing to die for Him. He requires death to self. This is where Peter was fooling himself. Over the next few days, Jesus taught him a painful, yet powerful lesson.
Will you …
Surrender is always an act of will. He could make make us, but He doesn't.
Lay down your life…
Give up your right of self-determination
Give up your agenda
For My sake…
You're not throwing your life away, you're offering it as an act of worship
Is Christ worth it?
Does He deserve all that we are, all that we have?
He asks, "Will you give up this pretense of following Me?"

Teagasc farm walks show farmers that spring grass is the best and cheapest feed
To show that grass is the best feed for dairy cows this spring, Teagasc has organised a series of spring grazing farm walks.
The farm walks will focus on a number of select farms and research centers and look at how grazing has progressed on each farm over the past month.
The Teagasc organised events aim to show farmers that spring grazing is possible. They will also show how getting cows out and grazing can be beneficial to the profitability of the dairy farm.
Teagasc research shows that each extra day a dairy cow spends at grass will increase profits by €2.70/day through higher solids production and lower feed costs.
The Teagasc events will also look at the techniques farmers can use to make the most of grass during difficult grazing conditions, such as on-off grazing.
Farmers who attend the walks will see first-hand how dairy farmers have managed to make to the most of difficult grazing conditions.
Along with grazing, there will also be a focus on fertiliser usage during the spring time and Teagasc advisors will discuss what type and when to apply fertiliser and slurry this spring.
The use of the rotation planner will also feature during the events and Teagasc representatives will show that the use of a planner is important for good quality grass in the subsequent rotations.
All of the farm walks start at 11am and will run for 90 minutes.

Recruiting good customer service employees is the first step to take in any customer service improvement initiative. Fire the bad CSRs and start over. You don't have to play with the hand you've been dealt.
Customer service is your lifeline to the people who purchase your products and services.
(article continues below)
So then why would you entrust your customer service functions to people who are unqualified and uninterested in treating your customers right? Good customer service begins with hiring. Here's the information you need to recruit the best candidates for the job.
According to some estimates, up to 60% of small businesses have the wrong people working in their customer service departments. Although the reasons for this are complex, much of the blame rests on the business owners themselves. While other positions may require specialized knowledge and experience, it's generally assumed that almost anyone is capable of fielding calls from customers. In reality, effective customer service requires a unique blend of personality and a skill set designed to meet the specific needs of that business' customers.
Personality Requirements
Right out of the gate, you need to look for individuals who are outgoing, but not "chatty"; assertive, but not abrasive; and responsive, but not a pushover. This definition alone eliminates a significant percentage of the people who are already working in the customer service field. Don't assume that prior customer service experience translates into a personality compatible with the field. Get to know them and make your own judgment.
Technology Requirements
One of the ironies of customer service is that employers often spend tons of cash on sophisticated call center technology and then hire the least qualified, minimum wage workers they can find to operate it. Hiring individuals who aren't qualified to man your call center technology is a recipe for disaster. At the very least, customer service candidates need to be familiar with modern office technology and demonstrate a willingness to be trained in the specific call center technology your business relies on.
Industry Requirements
A business uses vocabulary and processes that are specific to its industry. Front line customer service personnel have to be conversant in the industry in order to successfully respond to customer concerns. They don't have to be experts, but it definitely helps if candidates have either prior experience or some other connection to your industry. In some cases, a qualified candidate may be given a crash course in industry jargon and receive ongoing exposure to the industry through additional training venues.
Employee Retention
The best thing you can do to make sure the right personnel are staffing your customer service department is to retain the people who are doing the job effectively right now. The combined value of a quality customer service rep's knowledge and experience are not easily replaceable. Aside from the learning curve associated with bringing a new worker up to speed, the financial costs of successfully hiring a replacement can be substantial. It's much easier to invest in current customer service personnel with respectable salaries and career development resources.

"People will do anything long enough to escape the habit of living, until the escape becomes the habit" David Ryan.
The Health Resource Network has documented stress as the leading cause to the development of alcoholism, obesity, suicide, drug addiction, cigarette addiction and other harmful behaviors. Researchers in the field of addiction consider addiction to be a response to chronic stress.
Five surprising facts about addiction:
- Addiction to drugs and/or alcohol is a problem for approximately 30 million people in the United States alone. Addictions to these substances and the mental health issues that go along with them are one of the most serious health problems that are affecting modern society today.
- Drug and/or alcohol addiction is surprisingly common. Approximately 1 out of every 8 Americans is living with some form of addiction. This includes drugs and alcohol. Since this figure only includes known cases of addiction, the true figure may be much higher.
- Addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem among young people. OxyContin and Vicodin are not illegal when prescribed by a physician. They are addictive, and have become increasingly popular among drug users. Using prescription drugs for non-medical purposes is being used at approximately the same rate as marijuana among people between the ages of 12-20.
- One-quarter of all hospital admissions are related to alcoholism. The total cost to society each year due to alcohol and/or drug addiction is estimated to be $250 billion per year.
- Approximately 70 per cent of people who are using illegal drugs are employed. The fact that they have a drug problem means increased costs to the employer in terms of absenteeism, decreased productivity and staff turnover.
Doctors recommend that individuals suffering from an addiction should take 30 minutes every day to relax, breathe deeply and try not to think about stressors that can enhance the need to use.
The Eternale Rejuvenation System was designed to decrease stress, increase relaxation and leave a client feeling at ease with a renewed sense of peacefulness. It functions on three levels: subtle energy micro-current and vibrations to relax the physical body, guided imagery and visualizations to improve mood, and specially orchestrated musical scores sounding the solfeggio tones which bring the mind into a deep state of peace, connection and relaxation.
The guided imagery component in an Eternale session encourages the listener to let go of the need to ingest any harmful substances that will result in weakening the body. Contact an Eternale representative today to learn more about how to kick the habit.

FLORIDA — The gas price plunge drivers have been seeing for months may be starting to slow down.
Prices fell 5 cents in the Orlando area in the last week.
They are now at $2.14 per gallon, but you can find prices as low as $2.09.
The average price in Florida sits at $2.28 and nationwide, it is $2.42.
Analysts say oil prices will go up after OPEC announced cuts in oil production last week.
However, unless there is a sudden spike, gas prices should stay low for the rest of the year.

14 January, 2015
A Higher Standard
A day or so ago I had an exchange with someone who decided to do a "social experiment" by buying a recently-released and limited availability $99 product that's undoubtedly innovative and groundbreaking but clearly not ready for prime time and has been universally regarded as something that doesn't do any one thing well. The exchange was cordial and friendly — the person was even surprised that an early adopter like myself wouldn't have one on order already — but it surfaced something that's been simmering in me for a while now. No, I'm not done being an "early adopter". I'm just done with being willing to spend my money on stuff that isn't well thought through and that doesn't do things well.
Someone on the thread referenced the iPad and how they didn't know what they'd do with it when it was first introduced but now find it indispensable. However, I find that a bit misguided. The iPad did a few things incredibly well and that was it. People had a hard time figuring out what tasks they'd migrate to it, but there was no doubt that the product was "complete". Yes, it was a version 1.0 but it felt complete and absolutely something that would evolve (and looking at where the iPad is today, clearly beyond our wildest imaginations) but it was complete. It didn't have a half-assed web browser. Or a half-baked email client. Or a spit and string bound media player. It worked completely, albeit only at a few tasks.
But the rash of products coming out these days — yes, even "cheap" $99 ones — just seem rushed and incomplete. And yet people are willing to buy them. Why? Why don't we have higher standards for the things we buy? Last I checked, $99 isn't a trivial amount — at least not in the global sense. Then there's the it-just-sits-on-a-shelf-unused scenario. Do we have that much extra room in our lives to have extra stuff?
Maybe I'm turning into a curmudgeon and cutting back on the stuff I have, but living any other way just doesn't feel right. I can't, in good conscience, buy stuff only to let it go to waste. It applies to food, clothing, furniture, and pretty much everything that can be bought or acquired. I've started holding myself and what I buy to a higher standard — one where the thing must pass the "regular and useful use" test. If it feels half-baked (not 1.0, mind you), or if it feels like something that wasn't thoughtfully designed, built, and created, it doesn't cut it. A consequence of this is being called a monk by people who visit my home, but hey... I'll take that over being called a hoarder.
I believe as a species we need to be aware of the mark we're leaving on this planet. It's all too easy for us in the "west" to not see the impact of e-waste, or the consumption of resources to maintain our storage units and garages where extra stuff is kept, but it's real. We need to hold ourselves to a higher standard. And hopefully from that will come a sense of awareness of the standards that we will hold those who we buy things from and the things they make.
It's not enough to say "but it's only $99" and "it just takes up a little space on the shelf". Asking the most fundamental and essential questions is what's needed. Companies need to hear those questions. I'm not against rapid innovation, growth, and progress but I'm clearly against and vehemently opposed to sloppy stuff. Fewer things, but better things.
This whole "more is better" and scattershot approach to building things to see what sticks needs to stop. At least at the consumer level. All that experimentation and trial-and-error-ing should happen inside the company first. What gets put out should be complete, finished, and rounded. Now I'm not saying that it can't iterate and evolve, but it absolutely shouldn't be half-done. And I'm not talking about bugs and problems. I'm talking about just plain unfinished stuff.
That's the standard. Does it feel "done"? Does it feel "complete" If yes, release it. And early adopters, by all means buy it. You're the target. You're the one giving important input for the company to figure out what 2.0 can be like.
The higher standard can apply to so much and can be incredibly transformative. Time, projects, interactions, people... you name it. We need to be more judicious about our resources and with that will come greater satisfaction and greater things. Relationships, jobs, things, experiences... all that conform to a higher standard and that don't feel like another mile-marker on this rat race called life.

Oklahoma Health Care Authority CEO Nico Gomez said in a letter to the agency's board Monday that he plans to resign effective Sept. 30. Gomez has been in state government for two decades, including the past 16 years at OHCA. He has served as CEO of the agency for more than three years. Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board Postpones Vote On Reimbursement Rate Cut By Jacob McCleland • May 23, 2016 Warren Vieth / Oklahoma Watch The Oklahoma Health Care Authority board did not vote on a proposal to cut Medicaid reimbursement rates to providers by 25 percent at its meeting on Monday. OHCA CEO Nico Gomez originally proposed the cut in March due to the state's projected $1.3 billion budget dollar shortfall. At Monday's meeting, Gomez asked the board to delay action because legislators had not yet released a budget. The Oklahoma legislature is in the final week of its session, and a budget agreement had not emerged as of Monday afternoon.

So, in what would be the grandest about-face among rightward leaning states, Oklahoma is now moving toward a plan to expand its Medicaid program to bring in billions of federal dollars from Obama's new health care system.

Oklahoma Medicaid Leader Unveils 'Rebalancing' Proposal By Associated Press • Mar 31, 2016 With support from Oklahoma hospitals and state health leaders, the head of Oklahoma's Medicaid agency on Thursday proposed a "rebalancing" of the program that could extend health coverage to 175,000 uninsured residents and trigger an infusion of federal funding. Clinton Talks Education, Medicaid Expansion And Terrorism in Tulsa Speech By Associated Press & John Durkee • Dec 14, 2015 John Durkee / Oklahoma Public Media Exchange She was around two hours late, but when Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took the stage at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in Tulsa on Friday, she came out swinging on education reform.

Texas Politicians And Businesses Feud Over Medicaid Expansion By Wade Goodwyn • May 29, 2015 Dallas's Parkland Hospital treats a lot of people without health insurance.

Beds are in the hallways and the rooms are all full," says Dr. John Pease, chief of emergency services.

The comedian, Hannibal Buress, found himself in an unfortunate predicament over the weekend after police arrested him in Miami, Florida. The Twitter page for the Police Department of Miami wrote that the comic was arrested for "disorderly intoxication" on the 9th of December around 10:30 pm.
Video footage which we have for you below shows Hannibal arguing with the police while the officers push him up against the car and make the arrest.
In the video, the comic can be heard asking what the reason for his arrest is. He screams at the officers, "Am I under arrest? Am I under arrest?"
Hello Billy, Mr. Buress was arrested for disorderly intoxication, on December 9, 2017, at approximately 10:30 p.m.
— Miami PD (@MiamiPD) December 10, 2017
He continues to yell at the officers and asks why they're "detaining him," and finally, the policeman says for "trespassing."
In response, the comic tells the cops they're "goofy as f*ck, man," "Y'all know you're goofy as f*ck, right?" Hannibal – who stars in the Spider-Man: Homecoming film – said the police are "making it harder" and he's just "chilling."
Not long after, a Twitter hashtag began titled, "#FreeHannibalBuress." Additionally, the actor refused to enter the police car on his own volition, so the officials had to force him inside. After he paid a $500 bond, the cops let him go.
In a report from TMZ, the comedian allegedly approached the police and asked for an Uber. He supposedly stank of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes.
Apart from his successful career as a stand-up comedian and actor, Hannibal became well known for his involvement with the Bill Cosby case.
The comic found himself embroiled in an unfortunate media fiasco after he covered the Bill Cosby allegations in a comedy routine. Shortly after a fan recorded the performance and uploaded it online, it went viral, leading to Cosby's downfall.

'Large Nose'
Seek Bandit in $28,000
L.A. Bank Holdup
"Large Nose," a bandit who claims "heroes die young," was sought by police today for the $28,000 robbery of the Bronson-Olympic branch of the Security-First National Bank.
Armed, the robber forced 19-year-old Dolores Huss, safety deposit box attendant, to open the vault and allow him to scoop up handfuls of money held as surplus cash.
The bandit handed the girl a list of instructions:
"Keep your mouth shut. Do as I say. Don't play hero or we'll shoot the whole place up… Don't stall … Don't forget, heroes die young."
Following instructions, Miss Huss obtained cash box keys from Assistant Manager Ernest T. Marsh. The robber opened the compartment, stuffed the money in his topcoat pockets and fled.
+ + +
The Examiner didn't always trounce The Times in reporting crime news. While the Hearst paper made quick work of the "Large Nose" case, The Times ran a story twice as long with far more details. Huss got the keys without telling Marsh why she was taking them. The robber took the keys from her and unlocked the cash box in the vault and left her there. The robbery wasn't discovered until another employee, Winifred Mangold, went into the vault and found Huss collapsed in a corner, sobbing and hysterical. The Times also gave Huss' address (not a good idea for holdup victims), and the time the crime occurred.
And The Times quoted the entire holdup note, written on brown wrapping paper, which could have been lifted from some Warner Bros. gangster film:
"Instructions: Keep mouth shut. Do as I say. Don't play hero or we'll shoot the whole place up. Go to Marsh's desk, get the keys from the middle drawer. No false moves. Stay away from the alarm. Don't talk to anyone. You're covered all times. Don't stall! As I leave you will give me five minutes. He will have you covered. Don't forget. Heroes die young."
Still, the Examiner did nickname the robber "Large Nose."
Bonus factoid: Huss recovered from her trauma and was featured as a model in 1948 for Mail-A-Voice office dictation equipment.
Quote of the day: "An abnormal 'Well of Loneliness" woman whose twisted mental processes combine the most terrifying criminal tendencies of the warped male and female minds."
Alice LaVere, psychologist, in a criminal profile on the killer of Elizabeth Short. Because newspapers—even the Herald-Express—were afraid to publish the word "lesbian," LaVere referred to "Well of Loneliness," the 1920s novel by Radclyffe Hall. I'll leave it to others to analyze the absurdity of LaVere's notion that lesbians are all murderous degenerates.

THIS is the comical moment a dozy police officer was spotted driving along the road with his lunch still sitting on the roof of his patrol car.
The officer was caught on camera after he pulled out of his police station unaware he had forgotten his tuna and cucumber sandwich at 2pm last Thursday.
Andy Lawrence, from Chichester, snapped the pic as the cop pulled up at traffic lights just 200 metres from the police station.
The 41-year-old said he ran over to the car and kindly gave the sandwich to the red-faced officer who was left "embarrassed" by his error.
Andy, a TV action co-ordinator, said: "I was working when a police car came along and stopped at traffic lights and I could see this sandwich sitting on top.
"I got the photo, then took it off the car and told him. He said 'thank you' but he was really embarrassed and went red.
"He presumably left the sandwich on the roof when he was getting in the car at the station. He was just crawling along at around 10 or 15mph.
"I left a bottle of water on top of my car for five miles recently, so I can sympathise with him. But it's funny when it happens to a policeman.
"It was a tuna and cucumber sandwich, from a shop or a canteen. The officer was in his mid thirties and was by himself in the car.
"A few people were pointing and laughing so I thought I'd spare his blushes."
The incident occured near Warwickshire Police station.
