A panel discussion on E-commerce role in F&B trends at the Vietnam Food & Beverage conference. — Photo the organiser |
HCM CITY — Since the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been willing to spend more on their health, according to a Vietnam Food & Beverage conference organised recently by Vietcetera with the sponsorship of Mastercard in Hà Nội and HCM City.
This has given rise to new diet trends, with consumers demanding food packages that promise healthier living like gluten-free or keto meals and brain-boosting foods.
As part of Flavors Vietnam 2022, the third annual gastronomy festival, the event aims to boost the local food and beverage industry and empower both industry professionals and consumers to explore the payment experience offered by Mastercard.
At the event, more than 500 participants, including some of the most creative minds in the local F&B industry, discussed challenges facing the industry and the increasing demand of consumers.
They also focused on new trends, digital transformation for seamless dining experiences, safety and security and how F&B players can fulfil them in the most sustainable, innovative ways.
"Rebuilding and sustaining community momentum is the most important task to the F&B industry's revitalisation process, especially in this early stage of reopening," said Hảo Trần, Vietcetera CEO.
Experts suggested local industry players take advantage of Vietnamese people's eating, love for greens, healthy snacking, and preference for eating out in groups.
Beyond personal health, consumers have also grown to become more aware of their surroundings and seek F&B brands they share the same ethics with. This has paved the way for industry players to be more cautious about their environmental footprints, from sourcing their ingredients to packaging the products.
F&B insiders said that the pandemic had seen consumers globally adopt a digital-first approach in how they live, shop and work, with many adopting cashless habits such as QR codes, mobile phone payments and contactless cards to make every day transactions a safer and contact-free manner.
According to Mastercard New Payments Index 2021, 84 per cent of consumers in the Asia-Pacific have seen their access to emerging forms of payments increase in 2020 alone. At the same time, 88 per cent used at least one emerging payment type in the last year.
Two-thirds of all respondents (including 75 per cent of millennials) said that they tried new payment methods that they would not have tried were it not for the pandemic.
Sixty per cent of consumers polled say they would avoid merchants that do not accept electronic payments of any kind.
"The pandemic has accelerated a shift towards adopting digital-first habits in Việt Nam, and these are here to stay for the long-term. As a result, consumers are now expecting more omnichannel and seamless digital experiences when they interact with businesses, including F&B," said Winnie Wong, Mastercard Country Manager for Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
"To meet these evolving demands, businesses must always adopt a digital-first approach that puts consumer needs at the core of their businesses. This is imperative to mitigate the impact of the pandemic and stay ahead of the competition." —VNS.

Hockey analyst Don Cherry will immediately step down from his role with Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet announced on Monday.
The news comes one day after Sportsnet issued an apology for comments Cherry made during Saturday night's Hockey Night broadcast. During Coach's Corner, Cherry singled out new immigrants for not wearing poppies to honour Canadian veterans and soldiers ahead of Remembrance Day.
The 85-year-old Cherry has been on Coach's Corner since 1982 when the program was first started on CBC.
He was a voice every Saturday night for hockey fans across the country, appearing alongside Coach's Corner host Ron MacLean since 1986. His coverage extended into the Stanley Cup Playoffs as well.
MacLean reacted to Cherry's comments on Sunday by apologizing to both viewers and Canadians.
Coach's Corner joined Sportsnet's NHL coverage after Rogers acquired the NHL television rights in 2014.


text: The University of Melbourne School of Computing and Information Systems COMP30027 Machine Learning, 2020 Semester 1 Project 1: Discrete and Continuous Naı¨ve Bayes Due: 7pm, 3 Apr 2019 Submission: Source code (in Python) and written responses Marks: The Project will be marked out of 20, and will contribute 20% of your total mark. This will be equally weighted between implementation and responses to the questions. Groups: You may choose to form a group of 1 or 2. Groups of 2 will respond to more questions, and commensurately produce more implementation. Overview In this Project, you will implement a supervised naı¨ve Bayes learner and evaluate it with respect to various supervised datasets. You will then use your observations to respond to some conceptual questions about naı¨ve Bayes. Naive Bayes classifiers There are some suggestions for implementing your learner in the "Naı¨ve Bayes" and "Discrete Continuous" lectures, but ultimately, the specifics of your implementation are up to you. Your imple- mentation must be able to perform the following functions: • preprocess() the data by reading it from a file and converting it into a useful format for training and testing • train() by calculating prior probabilities and likelihoods from the training data and using these to build a naive Bayes model • predict() classes for new items in a test dataset (for the purposes of this assignment, you can re-use the training data as a test set) • evaluate() the prediction performance by comparing your model's class outputs to ground truth labels Your implementation should be able to handle both nominal and numeric attribute types in the same dataset. You can assume numeric attributes are Gaussian-distributed. When handling discrete at- tributes, you should implement some type of smoothing to ensure the likelihoods are greater than zero. Your implementation should actually compute the priors, likelihoods, and posterior probabilities for the naı¨ve Bayes model and may not simply call an existing implementation such as GaussianNB from scikit-learn. Data For this assignment, we have adapted some of the classification datasets available from the UCI ma- chine learning repository (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/index.html). In all of these datasets, the task is classifcation, but the attribute types vary: Datasets with nominal attributes only: • breast-cancer-wisconsin • mushroom • lymphography Datasets with numeric attributes only: • wdbc • wine Datasets with ordinal attributes only: • car • nursery • somerville Datasets with a mix of attribute types: • adult • bank • university These datasets vary in terms of number of instances and number of classes, in addition to the number and type of attributes. More information is provided in the README file included with the datasets. You are not required to use all of these datasets in your submission, however it is strongly recommended that you use multiple datasets to answer the questions below. Different datasets will produce different results, so if you only test your algorithm on one or two datasets, you may arrive at an incorrect conclusion due to a small sample space. Questions The following problems are designed to pique your curiosity when running your classifier(s) over the given data sets: 1. Try discretising the numeric attributes in these datasets and treating them as discrete variables in the naı¨ve Bayes classifier. You can use a discretisation method of your choice and group the numeric values into any number of levels (but around 3 to 5 levels would probably be a good starting point). Does discretizing the variables improve classification performance, compared to the Gaussian naı¨ve Bayes approach? Why or why not? 2. Implement a baseline model (e.g., random or 0R) and compare the performance of the naı¨ve Bayes classifier to this baseline on multiple datasets. Discuss why the baseline performance varies across datasets, and to what extent the naı¨ve Bayes classifier improves on the baseline performance. 3. Since it's difficult to model the probabilities of ordinal data, ordinal attributes are often treated as either nominal variables or numeric variables. Compare these strategies on the ordinal datasets provided. Deterimine which approach gives higher classification accuracy and discuss why. 4. Evaluating the model on the same data that we use to train the model is considered to be a major mistake in Machine Learning. Implement a hold–out or cross–validation evaluation strategy (you should implement this yourself and do not simply call existing implementations from scikit-learn). How does your estimate of effectiveness change, compared to testing on the training data? Explain why. (The result might surprise you!) 5. Implement one of the advanced smoothing regimes (add-k, Good-Turing). Does changing the smoothing regime (or indeed, not smoothing at all) affect the effectiveness of the naı¨ve Bayes classifier? Explain why, or why not. 6. The Gaussian naı¨ve Bayes classifier assumes that numeric attributes come from a Gaussian distribution. Is this assumption always true for the numeric attributes in these datasets? Iden- tify some cases where the Gaussian assumption is violated and describe any evidence (or lack thereof) that this has some effect on the NB classifier's predictions. If you are in a group of 1, you will respond to question (1), and one other of your choosing (two responses in total). If you are in a group of 2, you will respond to question (1) and question (2), and two others of your choosing (four responses in total). A response to a question should take about 150–250 words, and make reference to the data wherever possible. Note that not all questions are equally difficult. Also note that not all questions are equally interesting. (-: Submission Submission will be made via the LMS. Please submit your code and written report separately: • Your code submission should be a .zip or .tar.gz file which includes your code, results files, and any additional files we would need to run your code and replicate your results. (You don't need to include the datasets that we provided, but you should include any custom datasets you created yourself, or code to recreate your train/test splits.) Please also include a README file that tells us how to run your code and recreate your results. • Your written report should be uploaded separately as a .pdf, using the Turnitin submission link. If you worked in a group, please include both group members' names on the written report and in your code file (in the README file or a group.txt file). Please note that the deadlines on the LMS submission page may be after the assignment deadline. We set these deadlines late to accomodate late submissions. The true deadline is the one listed at the top of this assignment specification. Late submission The submission mechanism will stay open for one week after the submission deadline. Late submis- sions will be penalised at 10% per 24-hour period after the original deadline. Submissions will be closed 7 days (168 hours) after the published assignment deadline, and no further submissions will be accepted after this point. Assessment 10 of the marks available for this assignment will be based on the implementation of the naı¨ve Bayes classifier, specifically the five Python functions specified above. Any other functions you've im- plemented will not be directly assessed, unless they are required to make these five functions work correctly. 10 of the marks will be assigned to accurate and insightful responses to the questions, divided evenly among the questions that you are required to attempt. We will be looking for evidence that you have an implementation that allows you to explore the problem, but also that you have thought deeply about the data and the behaviour of the relevant classifier(s). Updates to the assignment specifications If any changes or clarifications are made to the project specification, these will be posted on the LMS. Academic misconduct You are welcome — indeed encouraged — to collaborate with your peers in terms of the conceptual- isation and framing of the problem. For example, we encourage you to discuss what the assignment specification is asking you to do, or what you would need to implement to be able to respond to a question. However, sharing materials beyond your group — for example, plagiarising code or colluding in writing responses to questions — will be considered cheating. We will invoke University's Academic Misconduct policy (http://academichonesty.unimelb.edu.au/policy.html) where inappropriate levels of plagiarism or collusion are deemed to have taken place.

Work-Based Learning Engages Students for Successful Futures
December 07, 2023 — Andrea Escobar, a junior at Beechcroft High School dreams of walking through a city of buildings she created and designed. After visiting two cities known for their rich architecture, New York City and Chicago, she started considering an architect career.
"I want to be an architect," said Escobar. "If you think about it, architecture, engineering, and construction - they're all connected."
Shunda Wright, career and community resource coordinator at Beechcroft provides students like Andrea with opportunities to earn internship hours required for graduation. Students can earn those hours through community service, work internships, and college and career exploration, a program called Take 10.
"I love my job," Wright said. "I love working with students and connecting them with meaningful opportunities in careers that are interesting to them."
Wright designed the work-based learning program to provide experiences for students to explore career pathways before they graduate.
"We're building the next workforce," Wright said. "The workforce of the future."
The Take 10 program partners students with a business that specializes in their desired career path. This fall, Escobar partnered with Contractors Inc., a part of the Crane Renovation Group. This family-owned business provides renovated commercial, multi-family, and condominium properties.
Over five weeks, Escobar learned the ins and outs of the construction firm. Escobar gained experience with every step of the building process, from learning about payroll to project management. She even performed a walk-through of one of the construction sites, where she saw what her future had in store.
"I didn't know what to expect," Escobar said. "You learn about every position, how it functions, and how it contributes as a team. It taught me that your opinion matters."
The openness and support of the employees at Contractors Inc. sold her on the benefits that the Take 10 program would bring. After discovering her passion for architecture, the employees of Contractor's Inc. took it upon themselves to provide her with software programming to put her design skills to the test. Through this internship, she learned skills that continue to lead her to success in school, work, and life.
"This experience taught me more about architecture than I knew going in," Escobar said. "I learned social skills, communication skills, and how to build relationships with clients."
With the skills they gained from the Take 10 program, Wright hopes that students will land year-round or seasonal internships with the potential for a full-time hiring opportunity post-graduation.
"My goal here at CCS is to educate the whole child and encompass everything that is Portrait of a Graduate," said Wright.
Adopted by the District, the Portrait of a Graduate prepares students for success, both now and in the future. The Portrait of a Graduate envisions every CCS student embodying adaptability, communication, creativity, critical thinking, global empathy, and technology.
While Escobar doesn't know if she will become the latest employee at Contractor's Inc., she believes this experience opened doors for her future.
"I hope people hear my story and get involved," said Escobar. "Once you get involved even in one thing, more doors open for you."

The India food and beverage packaging market is expected be valued at USD 122.78 billion by 2025.
The ever changing trend in the country of India is making high profits with packaged foods. With a rise in the number of working women with buzy work schedules and shift towards on-the-go consumption, which has brought about using innovative and sustainable packaging across the food sector and its likely to fuel the market's growth. The increase in the spending capacity of middle income group, the rapid expansion of organized retail, and exports further promote the growth of the market. This has led to the want and need for standardized packaging that can improve product life, sustain the speed of production, and simultaneously ensure good quality quality. The rise in online food delivery buckled with packaged food, is also fueling growth to market owing to fast-moving life in urban cities.
Nanofabrication technologies are emerging as innovative solutions across the region to work towrads advancing active materials to use in the design of packages, coatings, and packaging technologies, which helps in maintaining and improving the nutritional characteristics , safety of foodstuffs, as well as increase their consumption pattern.
The country is focusing more on sustainable and eco- friendly solutions, which is increasingly becoming a business obligation.
With the ever so growing awareness, the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable packaging is steadily on the rise. With an increase in investment in food processing industries, to reduse agri-crops waste, is establishing scope for the expansion of packaging opportunities.
Coronavirus outbreak is expected to leave a positive impact on the packaging industry over the coming year. The requirement for plastic packaging which reduces the risk of contamination by minimizing the exposure is expected to be favoured.
With internet access and usage across the country, the infiltration of online retailing is growing. The India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) states that internet users in India are expected to increase from 665.31 million, as of June 2019, to 829 million by 2021. Therefore, with rise in online business model in the country, where one can shop both online and offline, has also boosted India's Food & Beverage Packaging Market. With the new trend online retailers are also launching their own private label brands, thus giving customers with more choices in products and channels to choose from, with this a study by KPMG in India and Retailers Association of India concluded that the food & beverage packaging market, expected to grow 1.3 to 1.6 times faster than e-commerce platforms and continue to earn 1.8 to 2 times higher margins than external brands.

How has the idea of social aid so pervasively replaced salvation in some people's minds today?
There was a cultural revolution in the 19th century with our society turning from God's revelation to humanism skepticism. In places like France, there was a growing optimism that modern man could transform modern society. They replaced revelation with man's reason suggesting that there were no constants of existence defined by God and the Bible; therefore, reality could be shaped by humans, once we reject these false parameters.
Out of this claim, a "new priesthood" or set of new experts on society emerged. The argument was that if modernism produced the new age, only modern ideas could find or have the necessary answers. So, secular sociology and the secular sociologist preaching "liberty, equality and fraternity" as defined and achieved by human effort displaced theology and the Church.
This utopian view of human progress and its ability to bring change or positive results put human interests as always paramount. In conjunction with this, it rejected the supernatural. So the "premodern" (or biblical views) were replaced by modernism (with its rejection of the supernatural and inerrant revelation). For example, ideas such as the belief that family is a God-given unit were downplayed or rejected, and religious thinking lost any social acceptability.
But the results have been clearly catastrophic. For instance, when man is in complete control without any accountability or has "unchecked" power, the fallen nature of humanity seizes secular sociology's utopian ideas about anthropology and dashes them on the rocks of reality. Communist governments have murdered more than 94 million people. When secular sociology is our theology, or when humans try to be God and order society alone, the results are always devastating.
However, when theology is our lived sociology, or humanity operates within the irrevocable laws of existence laid out in God's revelation, we find blessing. One example is new research shown by Dr. Dena Freeman, a European anthropologist and economist from the London School of Economics. She argues that Pentecostalism has done more for Africa than all humanitarian aid organizations combined.
She poignantly states, "Pentecostals focus on some key aspects of change that secular NGOs continue to ignore – they are exceptionally effective at bringing about personal transformation and empowerment, they provide the moral legitimacy for a set of behaviour changes that would otherwise clash with local values, and they radically reconstruct families & communities to support these new values and new behaviours. Without these types of social change, I argue, it is difficult for economic change & development to take place."
Notice, societal change can only occur from personal change. That's the power Apostolics have; not the Social Gospel. Our missionaries have ALWAYS done more for Africa than all humanitarian aid!
Knowing how we got here as a society through secular ideas is needed to protect our thinking. Further, we can demonstrate that only God orders society well, and the admission to that truth, even by those outside the faith, is staggering today.

Text: Genesis 18:1-21.
"For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness
and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him", verse 19. The father should exercise authority and
enforce law and order to his household so that they keep the way of the Lord. The rules should be simple, clear and reasonable and inflexible.
The Scripture teaches us that fathers should discipline their children.
"Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, "but the rod of discipline drives it far from him'" Proverbs 22:15.
Reflect on verse 19, what is God teaching you in that verse, and how are you going to apply it to your life?
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, help me to be available to my children. Teach me how to give simple, clear, reasonable and inflexible guidelines to our children so that they are disciplined.
This is to the glory of Your name. Amen.

Personal use charges were flat for the second year in a row but are continuing to trend upward, according to data retrieved from Automotive Fleet's annual Personal Use survey. The average amount this year was $134, which was also observed in the 2017 survey.
Indeed, while 76% of the respondents in the latest survey said that personal use charges stayed the same, the second largest percentage group (17%) said that personal use charges increased. Meanwhile 7% reported that personal use charges decreased.
Kathy Evans, senior business consultant, Element Fleet Management, had observed that personal use charges were stagnant, overall, but also noted subtle increases for some.
"A handful of our clients have made minimal increases – ranging from $10-$35 per month," said Evans. "These organizations have chosen to do it immediately because vehicles are getting costlier. The increase is used to offset the higher prices but also reflects added value that the clients/drivers are getting, such as
updated safety features or fuel efficiency."
Other fleet experts have also observed subtle increases in personal use charges.
"There have been a few customers increasing the personal use charges, but I think the trend is first to implement a charge and then do increases over time," observed Michael Singer, strategic consultant, Merchants Fleet Management. "The other thing I'm seeing is customers reaching out to us and asking if they should have personal use charges if they don't already, and if they do, what should the dollar amount be. They seem to be wanting to do what other like fleets are doing."
Are Fleet Managers Charging Enough?
The latest percentages found that a majority of fleets managers charge less than $130 for personal use charges.
This was offset by a third of respondents stating that they charged more than $130 for personal use per month. Of this third, more than half said they charged more than $160 per month. The overwhelming majority of fleets who charged less than $130 kept the numbers even this year.
However, the personal use charges for fleets can vary depending on the vehicle type.
For example, certain fleets may charge $100 a month for personal use of front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles, though these charges can go up if drivers qualify for an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle.
In these instances, for example, the driver has an option of driving vehicles that have the same personal use per month charge as the FWD they qualify for (based on the AWD TCO being comparable to the FWD), or they can elect a vehicle that has an increased personal use per month of $150.
For these drivers, the $50 increase is applied if the AWD vehicle chosen has a TCO higher than the comparable FWD vehicle.
Restricting Who Drives the Fleet Vehicle
Another shift that was observed this year were more fleets reporting that no one, other than the employee, was allowed to use a company vehicle for personal use.
The 2017 survey found that a majority (53%), had at least allowed the employee's spouse use of a company vehicle for personal use. The study this year; however, found that 53% only granted the employee use of a personal vehicle. Though employee spouses were not far behind at 46%.
Liability concerns have detered many fleets from granting personal use beyond the company employee it is provided for. However, some fleets noted that appropriate insurance coverage provided by the company has helped reduce these liability concerns.
Indeed, due to this, the survey found that more than half of fleets also require MVR checks of persons, other than the company employee, who are allowed to drive the company vehicle.
Conversely, 16% said they didn't require MVR checks for this group of people, while 30% said this was not applicable, likely because they don't grant personal use beyond the employee.
Conditions Remain the Same
The conditions for approved personal use remained mostly the same, year over year, though more fleets reported only granting personal use of vehicles to and from work, according to data obtained this year.
However, a majority (64%) said use of the vehicle was permitted at all times whenever necessary.
Also similar to last year, job function remained the No. 1 reason that governs assignment of fleet-provided vehicles. Job title was the second biggest reason, which was followed by annual business miles driven; the positioning of these two switched this year, though the percentages of both have remained consistently close when comparing the data over the last few years.
When observing how to determine personal-use charges, using an industry average of competitive benchmarks and considering 100% of the annual lease value (ALV) both ranked the highest in the 2018 survey.
Some fleets who participated in the survey said they used the ALV methodology due to the ease of calculations, reporting, and that it was readily supported by their fleet management company.
Using an industry average remained the lead method of determining personal use charges in the last few AF personal use surveys, though the ALV methodology tied with it this year.
Fleet managers in the survey also observed that the personal use charges of a company vehicle depends on the type of vehicle. One fleet manager mentioned passenger vehicle use is granted any time, while cargo vans are only allowed for commuting and with a different personal use fee.
Meanwhile, the latest survey also found that most companies (47%) perform a personal-use reconciliation, or "true-up", at least once a year. A "true up" is the process of bringing personal-use costs into alignment with predetermined criteria or processes.

By Julian Emerson Wisconsin Farmers Union Communications Specialist
BLANCHARDVILLE – Dairy breakfasts are a revered summertime tradition across Wisconsin, an annual celebration and affirmation of the rural way of life in a state known as "America's Dairyland."
But this year the popular dairy breakfast in Lafayette County, in Wisconsin's southwest corner, was canceled after organizers decided that a spate of road and bridge repairs would make it difficult for people to even get to the June 11 event.
With numerous roads being resurfaced or replaced and seven bridges throughout the county needing upgrades, many of the 3,000 people who typically attend the annual dairy breakfast simply wouldn't have been able to travel to it, at least not without significant delays, organizers said.
"It is with considerable regret that this decision was made to not have a dairy breakfast event for this year," a post on the Lafayette County Dairy Promotion Committee's Facebook page reads. "This was due largely in part to the extensive road construction and road closures taking place throughout the county over the summer and the impact it would likely have on attendance."
Mike Berg is plenty familiar with the county's roads, having lived all 64 years of his life on his farm just east of Blanchardville. He traverses county roads frequently in his job as a truck driver, and knows well the pride many county residents have in their agricultural way of life.
"Canceling that event was a big deal around here," Berg said. "There was just so much construction at once."
Having so many road and bridge projects underway simultaneously is both positive and negative, said Kriss Marion, who operates Circle M Market Farm Bed & Breakfast just outside of Blanchardville, a village of about 800 situated on the border of Lafayette and Iowa counties. The cancellation of the dairy breakfast, one of the county's more popular events, was a sign of the relatively rough state of the county's transportation network, she said.
But having so much work at once also is evidence that much-needed repairs are occurring, thanks to federal funding, said Marion, who is a Lafayette County Board supervisor.
"It's good to see a lot of this work finally happening," Marion said. "I mean, when you put things off for decades, in the end you are going to have a lot of emergencies all at once."
Playing Catch-up
Road and bridge repairs have been needed for years, Marion said. But those fixes happened at a slow pace – or often didn't happen at all – because the county lacked enough money to keep up. Lafayette County Highway Commissioner Dan Rielly said the county has done an adequate job maintaining its roads amid funding that lags needed repairs.
"It can be challenging at times to determine which roads and bridges to repair first, and which to repair at a later time, due to available funds," he said.
However, that is changing, thanks to federal dollars made available to the county, most notably through the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) approved by Congress in November. BIL provides $1 trillion for infrastructure investment across the U.S., including about $5.5 billion for roads and bridges in Wisconsin. Those dollars, awarded state by state on a competitive basis, can be spent for projects through 2026. Lafayette County is seeking BIL funding for two road projects, Rielly said.
Road and bridge construction will help not only provide smoother rides but will benefit the region's economy as well, Marion said. Transportation repairs mean jobs, and other infrastructure spending is having a positive impact, she said. For example, federal money is being used to lay fiber that expands much-needed high-speed internet connections in the decidedly rural region where she lives, where broadband has been lacking.
County highway commissioners statewide are applying for a piece of Wisconsin's share of BIL funding. The funding process, overseen by the state, is competitive, and the need is large, given applications received during the first round of BIL funding for Wisconsin roadways announced in June. Of the 306 requests received, just 40 were granted. Even more project requests were solicited for the second round of disbursements, state officials said.
Highway commissioners across Wisconsin said they're thankful for BIL funding they received during the first round of expenditures. Joe Langeberg, La Crosse County highway commissioner, said his county received nearly $400,000 in BIL dollars for county highway repairs, and he plans to apply for additional funds from that program.
"The need for replacing bridges or reconditioning roads has been consistent," Langeberg said, noting the county has fallen behind the nine miles of roads it must repair each year to maintain current road ratings.
'A Ton of Construction Happening'
As he traversed Lafayette County's winding roads on a recent evening, Berg noted sections badly in need of repairs. Berg said he hopes the county can obtain BIL dollars and other funding to boost its road repair schedule.
Berg said improved roads would lead to a better economy for Lafayette County's small towns. He recalls when Blanchardville had several grocery stores, a couple of car dealerships and numerous businesses, most of which have disappeared in the past few decades.
"Industry wants good roads for their trucks. And some of our roads really aren't in good shape," Berg said as he drove over one particularly rough, curvy stretch of Highway 78. "A lot of people would like to live in this area. But the roads are a problem."
Berg, Marion and others are optimistic that BIL funding, on top of county and state expenditures, will lead to significant infrastructure improvements in Lafayette County and elsewhere in Wisconsin. While the unusually high amount of road and bridge construction this summer has caused traffic delays, it is a sign of much-needed improvements, they said.
"There is a ton of construction happening, and more planned, and that is a good thing," Marion said. "The dollars are coming in from the federal government, and we are seeing evidence in every direction of the significant investment."

Tucked within the folds of the last
chapter of Hebrews is a thorny, but powerful verse. "Through Jesus," the writer
imparts, "let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-—the fruit of
lips that confess his name" (Hebrews 13:15, NIV). It is thorny because it pricks us to
surrender, and it is powerful because, when accomplished, greater faith is the
Praise comes easily when we have reached
the top of the mountain. It is a different when the valley holds us captive. However,
the command is still very clear. We are to praise God in the valley. How you
respond in the valley speaks volumes about your relationship with the Lord. You
don't have to be a Christian giant in order to praise God when you're in pain.
Just your willingness to surrender speaks your heart's condition. If you really
read this verse you will discover that the actual way to achieve its
instruction is revealed within the treasure of its wording.
Let's look at what we are actually
instructed to do. Offer God a sacrifice of praise. Your praise is to be an offering.
An offering is a gift. It is not just offered as something that is expected,
but as something that is given out of love.
If you truly have experienced the redeeming love of Jesus Christ, you
love Him deeply, and long to return His love. A sacrifice of praise carries you
forward from your initial salvation experience and teaches the sanctifying selfless
love of Christ. "We also rejoice in our sufferings," Paul writes in
Romans, "because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance,
character; and character, hope" (Romans 5:3-4, NIV). We are instructed to offer
a sacrifice of praise because we have the ability to grow spiritually from our
suffering. From our growth, we learn hope. This is the kind of hope that fuels
our faith.
We are also told in Hebrews that
this sacrifice of praise shall be spoken. Praise cannot rest silently within
our hearts. Unless it is spoken, it has no power to change us. When declared, praise
shall truly be the fruit of our lips that confess His name. In Psalm 22, King
David writes of his fear. "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out
of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me" (Psalm
22:14, NIV). Later in the same chapter, David writes of the power discovered in
voicing praise to God. "I will declare your name to my brothers; in the
congregation I will praise you. You, who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants
of Jacob honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! For he has not
despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his
face from him but has listened to his cry for help. From you comes the theme of
my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you will I fulfill my
vows" (Psalm 22:22-25, NIV).
Within Psalm 22:25 we are able to
understand how David achieved his sacrifice of praise. His praise came from the
Lord, and from a personal commitment to fulfill his vow. This statement reveals
the way in which the command of Hebrews 13:15 may be attained. The Lord has His
part, and we have ours. The Lord has faithfully rendered His part through the
sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ. Our ability to praise the Lord in times of
suffering is the Lord's gift to us. Our part is to render the gift back to Him,
and that can only come from a personal commitment to fulfill our vow. It was
only through God that David could offer praise, and it is only through Jesus
that we are also able to speak of God's faithfulness. When praise is spoken, greater
faith becomes our reality. When we praise God continually in the midst of pain
or discouragement or loneliness or failure or sadness, we are changed by the
power He imparts through a sacrifice of praise.
Do you praise God in the
valley? If not, the direction in Hebrews
13:15 is obvious. All it takes is your
recognition of His gift to you, and a willing heart to offer a sacrifice of
praise. Faith is your reward, and your
promise of things not seen.

Paul Carr
Trekkies will forever remember Paul Carr as the ill-fated Lt. Lee Kelso in the pilot for "Star Trek." But the classic sci-fi series was one of roughly 150 television shows and movies--his big screen debut was in Alfred Hitchcock's 1957 drama "The Wrong Man"--that Carr appeared in during his lengthy acting career. Carr originally wanted to be a musician, but his father's glowing review of Paul's performance in a high school play made the younger Carr consider acting. He studied at the American Theatre Wing in New York City, remaining there for six years. He performed in summer stock, Broadway plays, and live television. When acting jobs were sparse, Carr worked as a window dresser. Aside from his extensive background on the big and small screens, Carr appeared in nearly 100 stage productions ranging from Broadway to regional theaters nationwide. In 1987, Carr received the L.A. Weekly Award for Best Actor in the Theatre East production of "Manhattan Express" and a 1995 Dramalogue Award for the Los Angeles Repertory production of "Assassins."

City of Sandy Springs Update - A Conversation with Mayor Rusty Paul
In early August, the Council for Quality Growth met at the recently opened Sandy Spring City Hall for a presentation by the Mayor of Sandy Springs, Rusty Paul. He provided an overview of the new complex, which includes city offices, conference rooms, two theatres, catering services, an underground garage with over 300 parking spaces, and an outdoor performing area surrounded by fountains and green space. Mayor Paul indicated that the project was funded with $229 million in public funds, along with $80 million of private financing. The City of Sandy Springs had been saving for the project for years, with only $150 million of the project was funded with debt.
Since Eva Galambos' days as Mayor, there was recognition that the city had nowhere to come together as a community. Polling of the citizens prior to inception of the development indicated that 65 percent of the citizens were in favor of the public project and most wanted access to the arts closer to home, rather than driving to downtown Atlanta. The strong demand in season ticket sales for the first season of the City Springs Theatre Company https://www.cityspringstheatre.com substantiate this fact, with over 4,000 season ticket holders, versus the predicted 500.
But with progress and economic development comes traffic and the region is finally getting serious about transportation. Mayor Paul ran for re-election to be part of the solution, although he acknowledges that he is not a transportation expert. Per Mayor Paul, it is no longer going to be feasible to have one person per car and mass transit must be part of the solution.
Mayor Paul pointed out that since the 1940s, the only two roads built in North Fulton are GA 400 and I-285. All the rest of the traffic is carried on older roads that are expensive and hard to retrofit. While the city has continued to grow over the last 30 years, there has been little investment in transportation.
Anyone familiar with Sandy Springs knows that the East Cobb commute on Johnson Ferry to the Perimeter is a bottleneck, as well as Roswell Road to I-285. So, the City will use TSPLOTS funding to make some intersection improvements. However, alternative methods for transit will also be pursued, such as trails for walking, biking, roller blading, etc. Mayor Paul indicated that it is his vision to have a "wisdom" trail for walking, like one he experienced in San Diego, with quotes of philosophers along the way. There is also an awareness that technology will be disruptive to transportation in the future, although no one knows quite how, at the moment. So, any improvements undertaken by the City of Sandy Springs will be made with an eye towards adaptivity, as new transportation alternatives are introduced.
Transportation is crucial for long term success of Sandy Springs to continue to attract major companies. In fact, Sandy Springs already has the largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies on a per capita basis in the nation. While most are familiar with the relocation of State Farm and Mercedes, even the back-office operation of the NYSE is housed in Sandy Springs. Most of the headquarters companies are leasing space and Mayor Paul stated that if the transportation problems are not solved, these companies may relocate in the future.
Mayor Paul went on to say that Sandy Spring has made a deal with citizens to protect single family homes. But the north end of city is open for business, with the focus being the region north of North Springs High School, from Dalrymple Road to the Chattahoochee River. There are currently acres of Class B and Class C apartments that need to be revitalized. The city has commissioned a study that will be delivered in early 2019 and will provide ideas for improvement of this area. The focus will be on retail development, because it is the "proverbial canary in the coal mine", per Mayor Paul. But, of course, retail is dependent on "feet on the street", so housing must be refreshed to support the effort. While Amazon is booming, there are certain retail service businesses and restaurants that are not conducive to on-line shopping and these are the types of businesses that Sandy Springs hopes to attract.
Another area of concern expressed by Mayor Paul is housing for working class families. It is a current reality that police, firemen, teachers and public servants in Sandy Springs commute for hours to work, due to the unaffordability of housing in the area. He is a strong proponent of owning a home, but with the affluence of the area and land now over $2 million an acre, it is difficult to provide housing for the working middle class.
It was evident from the conversation with Mayor Paul that Sandy Springs is on the move, with new developments planned on the north end of the city, transportation and intersection improvements underway, along with pursuit of affordable housing for the working middle class. If the impressive new City Hall is any indication of what Sandy Springs can do, be on the lookout for even more changes over the next few years in this vibrant area of Metro Atlanta.

Changes are inevitable, even in a company or an organization. This is why change forms should be prepared by the company in order to have documented proof of a specific change.
What Is an Employee Payroll Change Form?
An employee payroll change form is a document which is used by companies, specifically the payroll and human resource departments, to record the changes that an employee wants to update to his payroll information. The form is suitable to be used for name changes, an address change, as well as job position and salary change.
Employee Payroll Change Form Sample
Types of Employee Payroll Change Forms
Below are some of the common types of employee payroll change form that companies can use for their payroll department and employees:
Employee Payroll Address Change Form – This is the type of form to use if the main concern of the employee is to have his residential address updated. Specifically, an employee payroll address change form contains four sections to be completed. In the first section of the form, the employee will need to disclose the required employee information which is then followed by his new address in the second section, and emergency contact information in the third section of the form. To complete the form, the official who is assigned to update the employee's records will need to fill out the fourth section with his signature and the date when the changes were made.
Employee Payroll Address Change Form
Employee Payroll Area Change Form – The main objective of this type of change form is to document the details of the updates of an employee whose pay or salary release will be changed. For instance, if the employee's recent salary or pay release is bi-weekly yet will be changed to monthly then the form must be used for recording the employee's details, the details of the changes and the approval of the company's payroll department. Furthermore, the information which will be collected in the form would include the personal information of the employee, the appointment change, the details of the employee's job position and salary, and the signatures and names of the authorized parties who will approve the changes.
Employee Payroll Area Change Form
Employee Payroll Bank Details Change Form – Employees who have decided to receive their employment salaries in their personal bank accounts will be the target users of this form, specifically when there is a need to change the bank account information recorded in the company's payroll department. The employee who will be updating his bank account details must disclose both the information of his new and old bank accounts and must affix his signature to confirm the accuracy of the disclosed information.
Employee Payroll Bank Details Change Form
Employee Payroll Rate Change Form – The one who is allowed to fill out and submit this form to the payroll department and agency or service provider of the company would only be the authorized personnel who records and changes the salary amount that an employee will be receiving. In the form, the user must state the name of the company, the name of the employee, the employee's salary type, the amount of the old and new salary, and a signature with a date to validate and complete the change form.
Employee Payroll Rate Change Form
Employee Payroll Status Change Form – If an employee is promoted, ranked up, or demoted, then the changes in his employment status in the company must be recorded, and this can be done by using an employee payroll status change form. Seven sections comprise this type of payroll change form. The first section collects the name of the employee, supervisor, the date of the change, and the department where the employee is working. The second section, on the other hand, is intended for the details of the change such as the former and new job of the employee, old and new department assignment, and even the old and new job classification of the employee. In the latter sections of the form, the reason for the changes, the comments of the supervisor regarding the changes, and the signatures of the authorizing parties will also be documented in the form.
Employee Payroll Status Change Form
How to Create a Basic Employee Change Form
Follow the steps below to easily create a basic employee change form that any company can utilize:
Step 1: Make a banner and place it on the header of the form.
Colors and various design preferences can be incorporated into the banner. It must contain the title of the form as well as the name of the organization or perhaps the date when the form is made as part of a version identification of the documents made in the organization.
Step 2: Allocate a section for the basic details of the employee.
This includes the employee's employment identification number, the job position that he has, and the date when he was employed. In addition, the name of the supervisor and an area for the date when the form is used can also be placed along with the employee's details.
Step 3: Add a table or an entire section to document various changes.
The changes should include wage changes, address change, name change, as well as job position change. The section should be able to collect both the previous and the updated data along with the justification of the change.
And lastly, a signature block must be placed in the form for the signatures of both the employee, the authorizing committee, and the employee's supervisor or department head who is monitoring and will be confirming the accuracy of the employee's change claims.
After the contents of the employee change form are reviewed and proofread, it should be saved in the format which is preferred by the user. There are two formats to choose from when making and using the change form. The first is the DOC format which allows the user to edit and alter the contents of the form easily, and the second is the PDF format which restricts the end-users from changing any part of the form, therefore, leaving the end-user to only be able to fill in specific entry fields.

To investigate the mechanism of cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury, we fed rats tungsten (3 weeks) to inhibit molybdenum-dependent oxidase enzymes. Tungsten-treated isolated perfusion hearts (Langendorff, ventricular balloon, 37° C) had negligible xanthine oxidase activity (< 0.3 vs > 8.0 U/gm myocardium) and improved recovery of developed pressure (DP), contractility (+ dP/dt), and compliance (-dP/dt) after 20 minutes of global ischemia (37° C) and 40 minutes of reperfusion. Furthermore, the addition of dimethylthiourea, a freely diffusible O2 metabolite scavenger, but not equimolar urea, a non-O2 metabolite scavenger, improved recovery. High-dose urea improved recovery more than control but less than dimethylthiourea. Combining tungsten and equimolar urea improved recovery the same as dimethylthiourea. We conclude that: (1) inhibition of myocardial oxidase enzymes (including xanthine oxidase) improves recovery of ventricular function after ischemia and reperfusion in the isolated rat heart, (2) infusion (during reperfusion) of a permeable O2 metabolite scavenger (dimethylthiourea) but not equimolar urea improves recovery of ventricular function, (3) infusion of higher concentrations of urea improves postischemic function, and (4) myocardial reperfusion injury is distinguishable from ischemic injury.

Our Grenache and Cinsault vineyards average around 20 years old and are planted close to the bracing, cold Atlantic which brings in the cooling air that, with careful nurture, can actually promote good health in the vineyards,. 2021 was an unusually cool year for us, but "slow and steady wins the race". It was cooler than normal in the season leading up to harvest with a long ripening period that resulted in a good balance of concentration and flavour in our grapes and overall wonderful expression of terroir.
The grapes were harvested separately during the early morning hours to retain their purity and freshness and brought into our cellar for fermentation which took place in open-top tanks with gentle pump-overs 3 times each day to extract colour, flavour and supple tannins to create a harmonious wine with character and finesse.
This wine will pair well with game or a meaty-style fish such as a tuna steak. Serve lightly chilled if paired with spicy foods.

This weekend a mamma deer and her two fawns came through and ate the garden. They ate the corn tops, the peanut plants, all of the buds off the daylilies I transplanted. They ate the beans and the TOPS OFF THE SUNFLOWERS.
We have 5 acres they can browse on. Thanks, deer.
I give up. I was sitting out there brooding and feeling horrible about things when I slowly resolved to focus on this, the oldest making nests for himself in the dirt and corn rubble.
And so maybe that's where we're supposed to be right now. Maybe the idea of getting food from the garden will be given up this season and the best made of a bad situation. A garden seems like such a small thing but it mattered very much to me.
If I've learned anything about life it is this: you can either decide to roll with life or it will will run you over.
After dinner I turned all of the poultry out to graze and glean whatever they wanted. We still have some kale and chard, tomatoes, peppers and ground cherries. Two zucchini plants. We're picking blueberries to snack on when we're outside. And if all of those get eaten by something too,
what the hell, as much as it pains me to say there's always Wal-Mart. I guess.
And so it goes. A garden is such a small, stupid thing to get hung up on. I will try my best to let it go.

What do I use my mobile device for?
- Morning alarms (although at times it does not really help wake me up)
- Communication (messaging, call, etc)
- Camera
- Social media platform
- Bus application (SGBuses) to keep track of the arrival time
- Spotify
When and why do I use my mobile device?
- Almost everyday, from morning to night
- Sometimes I use it as a "distraction" when being around strangers, for example standing in a train among the crowd of strangers and you really have to do something to shake off the awkward feeling.
- When there is wifi, and when there is no wifi (I just have to turn on the mobile data for that particular application that I want to use)
- When I am bored and have to do something to pass the time, for example watching dramas on the go.
I observed while I was taking both the bus and train that:
- Majority of the passengers would use their mobile devices mostly for games, watching shows, and plugged in to their choice of music.
DAY 2 – Picnic day at East Coast Park
It was a planned day out to East Coast Park for a picnic with a group of friends. Due to the ban of electronic devices for a day, I had no access to morning alarms but it was not an issue waking up on time because my parents would be the usual alarm clock on a weekend — coming into the room and telling us breakfast is already prepared in the kitchen (so no more sleeping in).
Due to not being able to use my mobile phone for the day, I gathered up as much information as possible (meeting location, time, etc) the night before. It was a long drive from Jurong East to East Coast, and normally my partner and I would tune up to songs in the car, but not for the picnic day. Instead, we had a long chat and laughter in the car.
Throughout the day, constant notification tones can be heard from my mobile phone and I would try my best to not forget that it was a no-electronic-device day. Eventually, I managed to not care about my mobile phone as the day was filled up with jokes, games and cycling with friends, and there was no need to be using my mobile phone when all I wanted to do was to be free from the thought of projects and assignments at the time.
However, the moment the day ended, it was back to checking important messages (and the number of messages I have yet to read after a day off from mobile phone).
Because we're so used to using mobile phones mostly everyday as it became a means of communication between families and friends, and for relaxing purposes and entertainment, it became a "must have".
Some friends of mine ever mentioned that they would not be able to survive a day without their mobile phones with them. So for me, I think the time where I can lay off the mobile device is when there is not a need to use it in a day — no messages, no important emails to look forward to, no important group project updates to think about.

What Are the Predominant Chakra Colors?
This month I have taken you on a journey through the first chakra and today we will discuss chakra colors amongst other things. I hope you have enjoyed taking this journey with me so far. This will be the last article in the series for now and I want to use it for dispelling some myths about this energy center and chakras in general like chakra color relationships to each of the main seven energy chakras.
People often believe that the color of the first chakra is red. This is because the Hindu chakra system teaches that the seven major chakras from first to seventh are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. From my perspective, this is a way to help the mind understand that the chakras increase in vibration as we go from first to seventh.
As a spiritual teacher I have been offering intuitive counseling as well as other psychic readings such as chakra and aura readings for twenty years and have given thousands of readings and I can honestly say that I have seen chakra colors as every color in the rainbow. I have also seen that chakra colors change while I was reading a client and certainly be a different color next time they come to see me.
Your energy field is in constant flux. Your chakras are always spinning and chakra colors always changing. Depending on what your experiences and focus are at any given period of time as well as your spiritual evolvement, the vibration of your first chakra will shift. So its color vibration reflects your present experiences. People often channel the vibration of energy that is most helpful in their current situation.
Chakra Colors And Other First Chakra Myths Dispelled
Chakras are also portrayed visually as flowers, with increasing numbers of petals (4, 6, 10, 12, 16, 2, 1000 petaled lotus). Or by musical notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) and sounds (Do, Rey, Me, Fa, So, La, Te). These are also ways of showing that the frequency increases as you go from the first chakra to the seventh chakra.
By explaining this, I don't want to dispel the practice of using mantras to stimulate spiritual transformation (Lam, ram, vam, yam, ham, aum, ah). Nor do I wish to negate the usefulness of healing techniques that use sound to attune the chakras. Rather I want to dispel the misunderstanding that a healthy chakra must adhere to a specific limit, such as red.
There is a belief by some spiritual adepts that the attainment of spiritual enlightenment involves opening the chakras. I would rather put it a different way and say that it involves unsealing the chakras and consciously accessing their information. You can experience the information within a chakra regardless of how open it is. One important thing you must learn is how to unblock chakras because blockages are detrimental to all of the energy centers.
One final comment I wanted to make is that of the orientation of the first chakra. I teach that it is parallel to the ground, whereas other belief systems show it to be perpendicular to the ground with the narrow end at the top and the wide end at the bottom.
The horizontal orientation allows for a stronger connection with physical reality. If your goal is to be present and take charge of your life, then this system is recommended. If your goal is to have spiritual experiences away from your body then the vertical orientation will serve to launch you from your body like a rocket to the moon!
Thank you for joining me on this adventure through the First Chakra.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy
Progressive rod-cone degeneration (PRA-prcd) is an inherited late-onset eye disease affecting many breeds of dogs. PRA-prcd results from degeneration and death of the photoreceptor cells (rods and cones). Over time, affected dogs lose night vision and begin to show visual deficits in bright light. Although there are individual and breed differences in the age of onset and rate of progression of the disease, in most dogs the disease eventually results in complete blindness.
PRA-prcd disease is autosomal recessive and will only manifest itself in individuals who have acquired the mutated gene from both parents (recessive homozygotes).
