"Help us O Lord, to penetrate into the secret of the child so that we may know him, love him and serve him according to thy laws of justice and following they divine will."
Srishti Montessori school was started in June 1995 to provide the right type of education for children between 2 ½ and 6 years. The school has adopted the Montessori approach to education for its sound educational principles. It is run by Prathima Muralidhar who holds a International Diploma in Montessori studies awarded by Association Montessori Internationale, an organisation founded by Dr. Maria Montessori in Netherlands..
The activities of daily living are an essential part of the educational process. In learning to care for himself and his environment the child builds independence and confidence.
The scientifically designed material offers the child information to build his budding intelligence. He becomes keenly aware of his environment by doing these activities and is able to classify his ideas
Children in a Montessori environment enjoy mathematics. These activites help the child move from concrete experience to abstract ideas of quantities and operations through individually paced work.
Language learning is vital to a child's progress. At srishti, the children constantly voice their opinions and feelings thus developing the ability to speak without inhibitions. This lays the foundation for well developed communication skills
Culture is broadly defined as any science or art brought into being by man. The child is exposed to as many elements of human culture as is possible.
Most learning activities are individualized, so that a child engages in a learning task that appeals to him or her and builds a positive attitude toward learning.
"Srishti Montessori was awarded the 7th best Proprietary preschool by EducationWorld India Preschool Rankings 2018-19 at the 9th Early Childhood Education National Conference 2019 held in Bangalore".
"The most important period of life is not the university studies but the first one, the period from birth to age six."
Dr Maria Montessori
1. Learning through exploration
2. Fosters environmental awareness
3. Freedom to choose activities
4. Promotes concentration

1. Help the child help himself
2. Help him utilise his natural energies to the fullest potential
3. Help his actualize all his
developmental potentialities
4. Extend individual attention
5. Help him emerge as a
wholesome independent child
Admission open for children who have completed 2 years and 3 months and are ready for school.

Biofilms, L-Forms, and Health
Cordell E Logan, ND
For millennia, bacteria have mingled with biofilms. Biofilms are seen as dental plaque, in all areas of the body and even in nature such as shown in the Yellowstone picture below. The idea of biofilms is related to antibiotic resistance, chronic conditions, and immune health. Autoimmune conditions are key also.
According to the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University (Bozeman), biofilms form when bacteria adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments. They excrete a glue-like substance that can stick to all kinds of materials. During the formation of the biofilm, pathogens inside can communicate through what is called quorum sensing. For example, cholera bacteria can cover themselves up with a sort of goop that shields them against antibiotics.
Once the bacteria grow to a certain point, they can leave the biofilm area and then multiple rapidly. They may proceed to cause inflammation, leading to heightened symptoms.
Biofilms can also involve viruses and fungi. Biofilms are difficult to culture. Research has increased since the 1980s and 1990s.
The primary lesion in endocarditis is due to a biofilm located on a cardiac valve. This results in physically disrupting the valve, the biofilm complexes continue the infection in the blood (even during antibiotic treatment), and pieces of this can break off where it can block blood flow (embolization). The brain, kidney, and extremities are particularly vulnerable.
Joint prostheses and heart valves are especially subject to biofilm action. This can also occur on contact lenses.
L-form bacteria are a little different, and have been known for a century. These have the ability to invade inside of macrophages, an important part of the immune complex. Upon formation, L-form bacteria lose their cell walls. This not only makes the immune cells unable to recognize them, they are also completely resistant to antibiotics. To date there is no clear distinction between biofilm bacteria and L-form bacteria. Related conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lyme disease, and sarcoidosis.
There is an interesting connection with these to vitamin D metabolism (including autoimmune). Most researchers think getting too much oral vitamin D makes all this worse. Professor Trevor Marshall (Australia) has a protocol (called the Marshall Protocol) wherein the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) feedback mechanism is involved by giving an angiotensin receptor blocker, Olmesartan, along with a pulsed low-dose antibiotic. The more common 25(OH)D blood test will not show a lot, but rather do the 1,25(OH)2D test. An increase in the latter will indicate chronic inflammation.
In a broader sense, all this involves connections with the mitochondria and epigenetics.
What can be done in a more natural sense? Since most all sugar causes inflammation, getting off sugar is a first step. One method is to use Standard Process / MediHerb products since these have a good track record. After consulting with a qualified health practitioner, consider the Stealth Protocol.

Horses To Follow » Lemon N Sugar
Lemon N Sugar
Lemon N Sugar was an impressive winner of the Class 3 fillies' six-furlong handicap at Goodwood last Friday evening. A well-backed second favourite behind the Clive Cox-trained Perfect Silence, she was steadied by Tom Queally at the start and travelled well just about a length off the pace on the near side of the field as they pretty much raced down the centre of the track. Travelling best of all at the two-furlong pole, her response when Queally asked her to go on was impressive. She picked up nicely, strode out well, took it up just outside the furlong pole and kept on powerfully to win, going away, by two lengths.
The daughter of Lemon Drop Kid has now won three of her four races this term – her first three runs were on an artificial surface – but this was her best performance by some way, and she can continue to progress from here. This was her first run on turf since last October, and she proved that she is as effective, if not more effective, on it as she is on Fibresand or Polytrack. She is entered in the Stewards' Cup over the same course and distance as Friday's race and, even if she doesn't get into that, she should get into the consolation race, and she would be an interesting one in either. Her new mark of 82 is 7lb higher than the mark off which she won on Friday, but her rate of progress should be even greater than that now.

IKEA is a brand that has mostly used quirky means to get their point across. But sometimes, out of the blue, IKEA also comes out with ads that touch our hearts. If you have followed the ads and campaigns that IKEA comes out with, you'd notice how the idea isn't to sell a product, but an idea. And more so, emotions. The ads are experiences put together creatively.
We have gathered some of the best IKEA ads and marketing campaigns
1. The power of a 'bookbook'
On watching this ad, you'd think you're going to experience a technological marvel. Releasing in 2015, using statement like, "It's not a digital book or an e-book, it's a bookbook." Thanks to its sarcastic tone, the video went so viral that it eventually succeeded in representing IKEA's global brand. The result was a whopping 12 million YouTube views. It is only in due course that you realise that in the time when Apple is coming out with their ads for iPhone 6, IKEA was poking fun at the 'e' driven times.
2. My Son
Away from all its quirkiness, IKEA came out with this ad very recently, where they've shown the relationship of a mother and her son, while the son is seen choosing the right furniture. We wouldn't like to say much though…
3. Australian wedding
IKEA did a Facebook campaign in which people had to compete for getting married in an IKEA store! Well, the idea was welcomed broadly. It was an Ikea-obsessed Australian couple that got married in the retailer's Sydney outlet on Valentine's Day after winning a competition that saw 500 people apply for the chance. The hour-long ceremony was attended by the couple's family and friends, along with 80 random Facebook fans who secured an invite through IKEA's Facebook page.
Moreover, the whole wedding was decorated using IKEA products promoting the idea that you can 'create a stylish and beautiful wedding with the affordable and inspirational Ikea product range.'
4. Augmented reality
Ikea was among the very first online furniture store to give people the added advantage of augmented reality. It was back in 2013 that Ikea came out with a catalog app feature called 'Place in Your Room' that allowed users to try out their desired products in their homes. As most people ended up buying the wrong size of furniture, this came in handy and was, as expected, widely accepted!
5. Moving? Ikea's there to help
In a guerrilla marketing move, ikea took a bolder approach and launched It's 'Moving Day' marketing stunt in Quebec caught passerby's attention with free boxes of moving, printed with moving tips, checklists, a dinner offer for those yet to set up their kitchens, and a discount offer for IKEA furniture.
6. Just relax
At a time when social media is taking its toll on social interactions… Ikea did these two amazing campaigns.
a. Let's Relax
b. IKEA Taiwan came up with a witty idea to use 'hotpot' – a special dish that brings families and friends together in Asia – to create an unforgettable customer experience. They installed a hot plate that will only turn on when there are enough phones under it… leading to more interactions physically rather than digitally.
7. Low cost
Giving the credit to Ogilvy and Mather for this print ad campaign, Ikea came out with a comparative analysis of some of its products. Showing just how cheap some things can really be if broken down the right way…
8. IKEA got cheeky
Australia produced this novel newspaper ad (yes, print), conjuring up much PR on Valentine's Day. Simultaneously cheeky, subtle and utilitarian, it perfectly sums up the IKEA brand and its marketing genius.
9. Pee to See
Well this has to be not just the best IKEA ad but also one of the best you would ever see from any brand!
IKEA's print ads in Swedish magazines came with a built-in pregnancy test! While promoting cribs for infants, IKEA caught the attention of its readers with a strip at the bottom of the ad which functioned like at-home pregnancy tests. It encouraged the female users to pee on the strip to find if they were pregnant or not. It further provided a 50% discount code to expecting mothers for IKEA Cribs.
Ikea's modern marketing approach has taken into account how-to Youtube videos to Emoji marketing. And they're getting better by the day! Which is your best IKEA ad? Do let us know in the comments!

Sass Jordan has one of the most powerful voices in all of rock and roll.
The Canadian JUNO and Billboard Best Female Rock Vocalist award winner Sass Jordan recently released her new album, Rebel Moon Blues.
Rebel Moon Blues charts a new course in Jordan's musical voyage while tracing her love of the blues back to its source. All killer and no filler, the album features the inimitably raspy rock goddess jubilantly celebrating the songs, sounds and styles of everyone from old masters like Willie Dixon, Elmore James and Freddie King to younger, louder guns like Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher.
A pioneer of powerful, gritty female-fronted rock, Sass Jordan has worked alongside fellow greats like Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, and Van Halen, among many more.
She has toured with A Bowie Celebration, the critically acclaimed, one-of-a-kind roving tribute to the late legend, David Bowie, featuring a distinct alumni of former band mates.
Born in Britain and raised in Montreal, Sass Jordan launched her solo career with the single "Tell Somebody" from her 1988 debut of the same name, garnering national acclaim and a JUNO Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist.
Throughout her career, she's earned three more nominations for Best Female Vocalist thanks to albums like Racine (1992), Rats (1994), Present (1997), Hot Gossip (2000), Get What You Give (2006), From Dusk Til Dawn (2009) and her side project S.U.N.'s album, Something Unto Nothing (2011) — along with singles like "Make You A Believer," "You Don't Have to Remind Me," "Sun's Gonna Rise" and 1992's "Trust in Me," a duet with Joe Cocker from the record-selling Bodyguard soundtrack.

PC market sinking even faster than first thought, thanks to Windows 10
IDC knocks another two per cent off its sales predictions
The abacus-shufflers of analyst firm IDC have revised their 2016 PC sales forecasts downwards.
The firm now says PC shipments "... are forecast to decline by 7.3% year over year". That's "roughly two per cent below earlier projections as conditions have been weaker than expected." The firm names "weak currencies, depressed commodity prices, political uncertainty, and delayed projects" as the weaker conditions impacting sales.
Windows 10 isn't helping matters either, because lots of people are availing themselves of free Windows 10 upgrades rather than buying a new PC. The firm also says that "while a large share of enterprises are evaluating Windows 10, the pace of new PC purchases has not yet stabilized commercial PC shipments." Which sounds like plenty of organisations just aren't pulling the upgrade trigger fast enough to give the PC market a kick.
IDC also blames Windows 10 for slowing workstation sales. Earlier this week the firm reported EMEA workstation shipment numbers, reporting sales of 1,170,000 in the region during 2015, down from 2014's 1,194,000 shipments. "It looks like Windows 10 migration has been the priority in enterprise infrastructure budgets this year," said Mohamed Hefny, program manager in the Virtualization, Systems, and Infrastructure Solutions department of IDC CEMA.
Workstations sales are expected to climb 0.9 per cent in 2016, which is welcome news for the channel because workstation buyers tend to be big IT shops with lots of other requirements. Jamming a door open with workstation sales is a grand way to get other stuff done.
Back to the global PC market, IDC now predicts just 255.6m machines will ship in 2016, of which 103.3m will be desktops. The firm reckons we'll see "... progressively smaller declines through 2017 followed by stable volume in 2018." ®

The Delhi schools during lockdown period could be likened to a vast empty open green field where no sporting action is taking place- think of empty classrooms- even as the payers and icons are available, raring to go ahead, but sort of watching from the sidelines.
Just that on a good, normal or active day, the sports-stars rise like the massively-dedicated students, plying their technique on the field akin to studious, cerebral brains wielding books in their hands. The student amid an examination is quite like an athlete in the midst of a deciding contest, whether in a Football, Hockey, or Cricket pitch.
That said, here's a thought. Fundamentally speaking, a state of inaction is probably the worst thing (ever) that one could imagine especially where it comes to those endeavours in life that are sacrosanct and unmistakably important toward the growth and development of one's life.
That being said, the are no happening or telling updates pertaining to Delhi schools during the lockdown. And where it stands at the moment, then the only real update that one has right now pertains to the tuition fees.
In fact, the amount of tuition fees, if one may put it succinctly. It appears- and according to the central government in Delhi (Aam Aadmi Party, the ruling party of Delhi)- then the only thing that the Delhi schools can charge their pupils for is the tuition fees, frankly speaking.
That being said, what are the details pertaining to this update on Delhi schools during lockdown.
Schools have also been asked to not take fees quarterly but monthly. Sisodia said no private school will be allowed to increase fees during the lockdown and institutes are mandated to pay salaries to both contractual and full-time staff.
"It has come to my notice that many schools are taking fees arbitrarily and charging transportation fees even when schools are closed. Private schools should not stoop to this level. Be it private or government schools, they cannot hike fees," Sisodia said.
Interestingly, there were some rather important thoughts that were shared by the minister in power, Mr. Manish Sisodia on the current matter, a personality that has done his fair bit to revolutionise and drastically transform the face and fate of the Delhi schools (government schools).
Heres is what Mr. Sisodia had to say on the matter:
Education and economy were worst affected by the COVID-19 crisis. We are taking online class and taking various steps to ensure education to the students of government school.
And that is not all, at the present moment, all the Delhi schools during the lockdown are expected to adhere to the order and maintain a firm system that has been asked of them. Furthermore, any non-adherence to the current culture will only be treated with a sense of sternness by the AAP government for it is of utmost important to uphold discipline during this time in the city.
At the same time, one must also extend massive regards to all the schools that are currently executing a series of online classes for the students of the national capital, a phenomenon that ensures the continuance of education during these tough times mired by incessant lockdown.

Webinar: Planning for an Aging Population (CM | 1.5)
February 17, 2011 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
With the Baby Boomer Generation retiring and a large segment of the population entering old age, planners have a new set of demands for planning communities and developments that address these changing demographics. This session features two prominent urban planners who have extensive practical and research experience in planning for and housing the elderly population. Mr. Gourguechon will address what it means to grow old, the issues of stereotyping and ageism, finding purpose and meaning in life as we age, and the special needs of the elderly for housing, living arrangements, public safety, education, and mobility. Pertinent demographic, economic, and health care statistics and studies will be discussed and initiatives that planners can pursue to alleviate the concerns of functional limitations and quality of life will be identified. Professor Heumann will focus on the role of urban planning in providing sufficient care for senior adults and implications for service demographics, standards of living, and care providers. He will discuss a range of specialized neighborhood and housing models that have been developed to accommodate the senior population, including Community Development Corporations, different forms of Home Help, and the Neighborhood Warden model which can help to monitor and care for seniors in the community. Both speakers will address the important role that planners have to play in this significant societal change.

Making of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Audio
Blizzard Entertainment has uploaded a video making-of featurette for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria's score and sound design onto YouTube. Running at 13 minutes, the behind-the-scenes video gives an excellent insight into the creation of the game's music, sound effects and voice recordings, covering numerous topics such as the score's mix of Asian and Western orchestral instruments, the recording and mixing process, and the composers' inspiration for the music, as well the sound artists' foley work and the casting of the voice talent.

Curlys Pulled Pork Review
Curlys is one of the brands of (now Chinese owned) Smithfield, the world's largest pork processor. They slaughter about 50,000 hogs a day to keep up with your demand for Nathans wieners, Kretschmar deli meats, Cooks hams, and many other product lines.
Curlys makes seven different BBQ products: pulled pork, beef, and chicken in sauce; sauceless versions of the pulled meats. And fully cooked whole slabs of baby back ribs.
The pulled meats are in the refrigerated or freezer cases of your grocer; they come in one pound tubs, and rings up at about .43 cents an ounce. I purchased the pulled pork in sauce, and it can be heated (it's fully cooked already) in the microwave or stovetop.
There's a considerable amount of meat in the sauce. The BBQ sauce itself is thick and fairly sweet. (Ingredient list below). The meat has an authentic pulled 'cue' taste and texture.
I ladled it out onto a Turano sandwich roll, a popular Chicago brand. It's a bakery type roll, soft but substantial enough to hold "wet" meats. I like my BBQ sandwiches like they serve in the Southeast US, topped with slaw.
The product will appear in my kitchen again in the future, tho if I can find it, I'll go with the sauceless choice, and try some of my own preferences, like "Carolina Gold."

what a woman who could have joined the D.A.R. has learned about the socially-constructed, political notion of "race" by just paying attention and NOT keeping her mouth shut...

When the Choir Preaches Back
"I don't want to be told
what to write
I can excavate my own content
I want to be pushed into
digging deep wells
in unheard of lands.
I want you to give me eyes
in the back of my head.
Be a thunder clap
and rouse me.
Be an earthquake
make me tremble
Be a river raging rampant
in my veins.
Shock me shitless."
~ Gloria Anzaldua (1974)*
If you find Gloria Anzaldua quoted in the Foreward to a book you just began reading (as I did when I began reading the one this post is about), you should probably pause to buckle the seat belt of your psyche or you might find yourself suddenly flying into the air and free-falling down whatever personal mountain you're currently on. Gloria Anzaldua is no one to play with. And Deborah Santana, author/editor/film producer and philanthropist, who believes that people of gentleness and faith can change the world, is no one to play with either. The latest proof of this is a hugely important new anthology of short essays by Women of Color representing a range of ages, ethnicities, backgrounds, and experiences.
Launched in January of this year, All the Women in My Family Sing: Women Write the World ~ Essays on Equality, Justice, and Freedom, edited by Santana, hit the ground running, its cover and first few pages decorated with blurbs from the likes of Isabel Allende, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Alfre Woodard, among others. Invited to speak with Santana myself(!) before adding my review to such dignitaries' comments would have been daunting indeed had I not already been shocked shitless by the essays and very excited by the opportunity.

This summer has been exceptionally hot for our area and you may have retreated indoors to stay cool. However, if you are like me, you like to enjoy the outside in all kinds of weather. Outdoor ceiling fans can help you enjoy your outdoor areas and stay cool even on the hottest of days.
Just think about how they could enhance and expand your outdoor living space. You can add them to your front porch area (this is where I love to sit and read) or to your Carolina Electrical Accidents Articles 2018 room, overhead deck area or sun porch. You have several styles to choose from. Here are some tips to follow when searching for just the right fan for your outdoor area.A�
The first thing you want to consider is the shape and size of the area. A smaller area such as a front porch would benefit from a fan with shorter blades. If you have a larger sunroom, consider longer blades. The longer the blade, the more air circulation, however, you need to have space for the fan to rotate. With the large variety of styles on the market, you can easily find one that fits into your decor. If you have a beach theme, you may want to consider the large bamboo fans. Depending on where you shop, you should be able to find fans in a variety of colors that fit your room's color scheme. If you need additional light in the room in the evening, you will want to consider adding a light to the fixture.
Because the fan will be outdoors, you need to consider how weather-safe is the fan? Manufacturers of ceiling fans have one for almost any type of weather. If the fan will be exposed to rain (or yes, even snow), then you want to look for a fan that is a damp allocated model. If you will be placing the fan in an enclosed area that is out of the weather, you can use what are referred to as damp rated ceiling fans. Looking at the manufacturer suggested designation for the fan will help your fan to last longer in any weather. Keep in mind that you don't want to put a fan that is designed for indoor use in an outdoor area.A�
Mounting a ceiling fan is not an easy task. Many homes in our area have high ceilings and using tall step ladders is dangerous. There Enterprise Al Electric Company may also be additional tools needed to install the fan. This is definitely an area where you want to call on a professional.

The long-awaited, much-rumoured Pentax 645Z medium format camera has been announced, with local availability from June/July.
The 645Z is similar in design to the 645D, but there the similarity stops. The 645Z has an CMOS image sensor – 51 megapixels – and imaging engine to improve image quality and reliability, plus improved specifications all round.
These include a state-of-the-art SAFOX 11 phase-matching AF module with 27 sensor points (including 25 cross-type sensors), along with high-speed data readout that supports a live-view function; a high-precision exposure control system; and a more durable, dependable shutter unit as well as a tiltable, 3.2-inch LCD monitor with approximately 1,037,000 dots.
The new camera includes full HD movie recording capability with a 60i frame rate and smart-phone accessibility via Wi-Fi transmission with an optional Flucard for Pentax 16GB O-FC1 memory card.
The image sensor has an area of 43.8 x 32.8mm, roughly 1.7 times larger than a 35mm full-frame sensor. Pentax has dispensed with an anti-aliasing filter and the 645Z delivers an ISO sensitivity range up to ISO 204800. The PRIME III imaging engine includes advanced image-processing and noise-reduction capabilities and supports continuous shooting at approximately three images per second, with a buffer capacity of up to 10 raw frames or 30 high-resolution JPEGs.
The 645Z includes UHS-1 speed class compatibility for high-speed data storage (in the SDR104 bus speed mode; with a compatible SD memory card), and USB3.0-standard data interface for easy transfer of recorded images to a personal computer.
The 645Z features a large, bright optical viewfinder with approximately 98 percent field of view coverage and a Natural-Bright-Matte focusing screen. It includes the "Pentax Real-Time Scene Analysis System', which consists of an RGB light-metering sensor with approximately 86,000 pixels, and a fine-tuned algorithm. This system provides improved exposure-control accuracy and also utilises the data obtained by the light-metering sensor to further enhance autofocusing accuracy and white balance adjustment.
Overseas websites provide an estimated release date of June 2014, with the price in the vicinity of US$8500 for the body only.

How to Assemble RTA Cabinets
Assembling cabinetry is not as difficult as you might think. We'll show you how.
A few hours
Ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets are an affordable alternative to custom cabinetry. You can achieve a gorgeous custom cabinet look in your kitchen without breaking the bank. Assembly is much easier than you think; here's the step-by-step process.Tools Required
- Damp cloth
- Drill/driver
- Magnetic driver bit holder
- Phillips bit
- Rubber mallet
- Worktable
Project step-by-step (11)
Step 1
Identifying Parts
- Start by opening the box. If you are using a utility knife, don't cut too deeply because you could scratch the parts. Grab those assembly instructions and make sure you have all the parts and hardware. For the base cabinet, you should have two sides, one bottom, one back panel, four support rails and one adjustable shelf, plus dowels and hardware.
- Identify the right and left sides of the cabinet by the 1/4-in. groove near the back edge of each panel. Identify the bottom of the cabinet sides by the holes drilled near the bottom edge; ours had nine holes.
Step 2
- Lay both side panels flat with the holes pointing up and the back edges facing each other.
- Squeeze a small amount of wood glue into all the dowel holes on both sides. Do not put glue in the through-holes.
Step 3
Install the Bottom
- Align the 1/4-in. groove on the bottom board with the 1/4-in. groove on the left side.
- Insert the bottom six dowels into the six dowel holes on the left side.
- Using a rubber mallet, gently tap the edge of the bottom to drive the dowels into the holes. Wipe away any excess glue with a damp cloth.
Step 4
Install Support Rails
- Each of the support rails is drilled universally — there is no wrong way to install them.
- Install two support rails into the four dowel holes along the top edge of the left side. (See photo.)
- Now install two support rails into the dowel holes along the back edge of the left side, just behind the 1/4-in. groove. Gently tap all the support rails with a rubber mallet.
Step 5
Insert the Back Panel
- Fit the back panel into the 1/4-in. groove on the bottom panel. Slide the panel down and fit it into the groove on the left side.
Step 6
Attach the Right Side
- Flip the right side over and align the dowel holes with the dowels in the bottom panel and support rails while allowing the back panel to fit into the right side groove. Work quickly so the glue doesn't drip all over. Gently tap the right side with a rubber mallet. Wipe away any excess glue with a damp cloth.
- Secure the cabinet together with the provided lag screws into each of the seven holes on both sides.
Step 7
Attach the Legs
- Insert four legs into the pre-drilled holes on the bottom panel.
- Secure the legs to the bottom using the screws provided — four screws per leg.
Step 8
Adjustable Shelf
- Insert four-shelf pins into the pre-drilled holes on each of the sides at the desired height.
- Slide the shelf onto the shelf pins.
Step 9
Assemble the Drawer
- Attach the two brackets to the drawer back using the six screws provided.
- Attach the two brackets to the drawer front using the four screws provided.
- Assemble the two sides to the back by sliding them onto the brackets. (See photo.)
- Insert the drawer bottom into the grooves on the drawer sides.
- Install the drawer front by inserting the brackets into the drawer sides until it clicks. (See photo.)
- Secure the drawer slides to the bottom and back using the screws provided.
Step 10
Install Drawer
- Attach the left drawer glide to the inside of the left side and the right drawer glide to the inside of the right side at the desired height, using two screws per glide. (See photo.)
- Place the drawer on the glides and push it in until it clicks and locks. (See photo.)
Step 11
Install the Door
- Lay the door flat with the two hinge holes facing up. Insert the hinge into the hole and push the hinge cover down to secure the hinge to the door. (See photo.)
- Attach two hinge plates onto the left side into the pre-drilled holes. (See photo.)
- Align the hinge arms with the hinge plates and push toward the back of the arm until you feel it click.
- Peel and stick two rubber bumpers to the inside corners of the door.

EURO DUAL Locomotive Undergoes Uplift Tests in Romania
This summer, Eurailtest has been exporting its skills and experience to more easterly parts of the European Union, to Romania to be more precise.
For its client STADLER, Eurailtest has been conducting uplift tests on the EURO Dual locomotive.
Uplift tests serve to characterise and optimise the aerodynamic behaviour of a pantograph. Tests on this particular locomotive concerned calibration of the two pantographs and were conducted on the test ring at Faurei, a first for Eurailtest!
The instrumentation phase took place in the first week of July in preparation for test runs scheduled the following week.
EURO Dual locomotives offer maximum operating flexibility:
Depending on power supply possibilities, or simply to provide "last mile" services for the final leg of a trip, they can operate under 25kV 50Hz or 1.5kV DC electrification or under diesel power.
Locomotives also boast design innovations enabling them to combine diesel and electric propulsion to boost their power rating and afford them maximum versatility.

Gay alumni question policy of Christian college in Montecito
When Melissa Durkee was in her senior year at Westmont College, her grades were outstanding, she was fielding offers from top law schools — and she was stricken by fear.
"I was terrified that I'd be found out as someone dating a woman and that I'd be expelled," said Durkee, who went on to Yale Law School and a New York law firm.
Durkee is one of 31 gay and lesbian Westmont alumni who earlier this month roiled the Christian college in Montecito with an open letter in the college newspaper that spoke of the "doubt, loneliness and fear" they felt on a campus where homosexuality is taboo.
More than 100 fellow alumni signed on in support, and last week, 50 of Westmont's 92 faculty members responded to them in a sympathetic letter seeking "forgiveness for ways we might have added to your pain."
Although LGBT — an umbrella term for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender — is a commonplace designation at schools across the United States, many Christian colleges have struggled with just how much to condone homosexuality, which is seen by some of their religious leaders as scripturally prohibited.
At the leafy campus near Santa Barbara, there are no gay-pride events or clubs in which gay students can socialize openly. The small, nondenominational school requires incoming students to sign a campus code that forbids "occult practices, sexual relations outside of marriage, homosexual practice, drunkenness, theft, profanity and dishonesty."
Such restrictions would generate loud protests at mainstream schools, but at Westmont, even now there's barely a raised voice. Instead, parties on all sides are issuing declarations of love and respect, with calls for a campus-wide dialogue.
"We're hoping to do a better job of talking to and loving each other and holding true to our scriptural principles," said Jane Higa, the school's vice president for student life.
But nobody believes that the school's Campus Life Statement will change anytime soon.
"All the students have signed it and they know where the college stands," Higa said.
For Durkee, who graduated in 2000, the ban was chilling.
"It was hard to tell what that meant," she said. "Is 'homosexual practice' holding hands? A stray look or touch? Dating?"
Administrators say the ban is not on being gay but on the "practice" — just as there's a ban on sex between unmarried straight students. In Higa's 22 years at Westmont, she said, the school has not expelled anyone for being gay. A straight, unmarried couple left, she said, after they refused to live apart: "They understood what they had agreed to and they dropped out."
But for all the compassion being expressed now, Nathan Welty, who graduated in 2008, feared that he would be shunned if he even suggested that he was gay.
"My goal was to suppress everything in me that was telling me I was gay — to just completely ignore and suppress it," said Welty, who is pursuing both a doctorate and a medical degree at the University of Minnesota.
Other Christian colleges are grappling with their own "don't ask, don't tell" policies. A recent editorial in Christianity Today magazine criticized collegiate bans on homosexual behavior: "Consistency means not singling out those with same-sex orientation. The same standard should apply to all."
Many religious scholars object to reading the Bible literally.
"No one today would point to the Bible and say we can hold others in bondage," said Bernard Schlager, executive director of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley. "Yet the Old and New Testaments clearly support slavery."
At Westmont, administrators and student leaders say they have been quietly talking for some time about how to make the college less isolating for gay students. The subject became much more public last November, when the Horizon, Westmont's student newspaper, published a letter from Artie Van Why, a gay man who wrote of his silent struggles at a Christian school in Kentucky.
Asked about the response to his letter at Westmont, he said, "I'm very surprised. I'm overwhelmed."
Jane Highstreet, president of Westmont's student government, is hopeful.
She said students are starting to feel more able to raise the topic. One of her friends came out on Facebook — first telling administrators and then asking how she might help in any campus-wide programs.
In March, Highstreet said, students will be addressed by a psychologist from a Christian university who has written extensively on gay issues.
"There's a hunger for this conversation to happen," she said.

With Batman vs. Superman adding more and more characters (in case you haven't heard, Ray Fisher as Cyborg is the latest addition), it's obvious Warner Bros. is taking big steps to establish a whole new DC cinematic universe. Today the studio has confirmed that yes, they're going to create a Justice League movie! Speaking with the Wall Street Journal, WB's president of worldwide production Greg Silverman confirmed that Batman vs. Superman will lead into Justice League. As expected, Zack Snyder (Man of Steel, Watchmen) will direct.
No release date has been set and a script is currently in development. The website states it's "unlikely" the movie will come out before 2018. Additionally, they say WB has other DC/Vertigo movies in development that are not connected to Justice League. Shazam, Metal Men, 100 Bullets, and Fables were listed.
As for a potential Wonder Woman movie, there's currently no plans, but WB's executives are "warm" to the idea. Sue Kroll, president of worldwide marketing, added, "with the right script, that could be viable. The world is ready for her."

Free Hand Transperineal Prostate Biopsy Offers Equivalent Cancer Detection and Improved Antibiotic Stewardship Compared to Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsy
Christian Schaufler, BS, Ryan Daigle, BS, Carl K. Gjertson, MD, Peter C. Albertsen, MD, Benjamin T. Ristau, MD.
University of Connecticut School of Medicine, Farmington, CT.
BACKGROUND: Transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-B) is the gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer. Due to the risk of infectious complications associated with TRUS-B, there has been increasing interest in transperineal prostate biopsy. We compared a prospectively collected cohort of freehand transperineal prostate biopsy (fTP-B) to an institutional cohort of TRUS-B patients. Differences in cancer detection and the amount of cancer within a given core were examined.
METHODS: A historical cohort of patients who received TRUS-B from January 2017 to September 2018 (n=170) was compared to a prospectively collected cohort of fTP-B patients (n=101) from February 2019 through January 2020. TRUS-B patients underwent a 10 or 12 core biopsy and fTP-B patients underwent a 20-core biopsy. All TRUS-B patients were treated with prophylactic antibiotics while fTP-B patients received no prophylaxis. Biopsy core length and percent of total core were determined from the surgical pathology report. Positive cancer was defined as grade group 1 or higher, while clinically significant cancer was defined as grade group 2 or higher. Cancer detection rates were compared using chi-squared tests, and core length and percentage of core length were compared using student's T tests. A p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: 271 patients were included (170 TRUS-B, 101 fTP-B). Men undergoing fTP-B were slightly older (Median 65.6y, IQR 59.9-79.6) than those undergoing TRUS-B (63y, IQR 58.0-69.0; p=.03). There were no significant differences in median prostate PSA before biopsy (TRUS-B 9.4 ng/mL, IQR 6.8-17.4 and fTP-B 9.4, IQR 6.7-13.4; p=0.82), PSA density (TRUS-B 0.36, IQR 0.16-0.38 and fTP-B 0.48, IQR 0.19-0.42, p=0.27), or race (p=0.52) between the cohorts. Clinically significant prostate cancer was more often diagnosed in men undergoing fTP-B (52/101, 51.5%) compared to TRUS-B (64/170, 37.6%; p=0.01). This difference was attenuated when a 12-core template for fTP-B was derived from the original 20-core template (47/101, 46.5%; p=0.15) Cancer core length was greater in TRUS-B (median 4.0mm, IQR 1.2-8.5) relative to fTP-B (median 2.8mm, IQR 1-6; p<.001). There was no difference between percentage core involvement with cancer between TRUS-B (median 40%, IQR 10-75) and fTP-B (median 30%, IQR 10-70, p=.06). There were no infections in the fTP-B group and 2 confirmed cases of UTI/sepsis in the TRUS-B group.
CONCLUSIONS: A 20 core fTP-B results in greater detection of clinically significant prostate cancer compared to 10-12 core TRUS-B. This difference was attenuated when biopsy techniques with similar core numbers were compared. Despite omission of antibiotics in all cases, there were no infections in the fTP-B group. While 2 cases of UTI/sepsis were confirmed in the TRUS-B group, accurate determination of the infection rate in TRUS-B was limited due to lack of adequate follow-up information. Further work in disseminating fTP-B should be explored since fTP-B offers at least equivalent cancer detection and enables superior antibiotic stewardship compared to TRUS-B.

Walt Disney Co. is taking some heat for its crafty decision to file trademark applications for Seal Team 6 two days after that elite team fired a bullet into the head of Osama bin Laden.
Some snoots rap Disneys move as tasteless and seeking to cash-in on the U.S. war on terror. Disney, instead, should be applauded for living up to the true spirit of American capitalism.
Disney filed applications for use of Seal Team 6 in a variety of ways including entertainment, toys, clothing, playthings, snow globes and Christmas tree ornaments. Tip for Disney: forget the bin Laden ornaments.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office says it can take as little as three months for trademark approval depending upon whether there are any complaints raised about an application. The Navy is reportedly looking into the Disney filings.
The service should do everything in its power to encourage Disneys development of Seal 6 properties. What a marvelous recruiting tool for the military! The Navy rejects the vast majority of those who attempt to survive Seal training school. Disneys marketing prowess would greatly increase the pool of Seal applicants. Future graduates will be even more fit and deadly efficient than the current corps of Seals.
The Navy and Disney have a long-standing relationship. The Navy was the first of Americas military services to approach Disney during WWII. It asked for instructional film to educate sailors about navigation tactics, according to Wikipedia. The Navy requested more than 900,000 feet of film during a three-month period from a studio that was creating 28,000 feet of film a year.
The Seals also would greatly enhance the Disney Store experience. When my daughters were young, this blogger spent many hours in Disney stores. Merchandise definitely skewered toward girls. A line of Seal Team action figures and equipment would capture the attention of boys and keep them out of trouble. The geniuses at Disney may even develop Sammy the Seal to join Mickey, Donald and Goofy. What a blast?
The name of Osama bin Laden means absolutely nothing to a two-year-old kid today. There will be no connection in that kids mind between Seal Team 6 and the mass murderer that the unit killed when he or she strolls into a Disney store or visits Disney World three years from now.
Let the marketing magic begin.

Read more pages and download a free PDF sample of the book. An article, typewritten from the Arizona Weekly Star in March 1880, described the "Mine with the Iron Door and the Nine Mile City of the Santa Catarinas. Martin & Welden's Camp, Feb. 2, 1880." The Santa Catalinas were then called Santa Catarinas. One of the lost mining tunnels found in the Santa Catalina Mountains, near Tucson, Arizona. Photo by Robert Zucker. The articles tells the story of two miners who arrived on January 10, 1880 and told the Star newspaper about their hunt and exploration for the Nueva Mia Ciudad (nine mile city) and the mine with the iron door. They said they stopped near a Mexican town where they were shown a handwritten diary written about the events of those days, including directions how to find the mine with the iron door. The Mexican said it belonged to his grandfather and would not part with it. The two men headed for the Cañada del Oro and went up the canyon to find the place "where water would exist the year round." They found a canyon that was walled on the three sides and discovered a stairway cut in the rock. They found a vaulted chamber that closed into a narrow passage. In one place, they said they saw an inscription engraved on the wall in Latin - "Dominus vobiscum." They followed through and found a tract of land covered with pines and oaks. As they traveled in an easterly direction to the Nueva Mia Ciudad, they came to a stream of water alive with trout and "shining particles in the stream." The next day, they moved on for another mile where they came into ruins, which, as we proceeded grew larger and could be seen for two miles in width. To think, probably, that we had walked four miles when we came upon a stone building (granite and marble) that was in a fair state of preservation excepting the roof, which had fallen in; the structure was something after the style of the Old Cocospari church in Sonora, and we decided that this must have been the place of worship of the people of this once populous city. Here we spent some time in looking over this ediface searching for gold and silver which was buried in the church, but having no tools, we could do nothing." The author of the article witnessed 100 pounds of pure gold that the miners displayed. The Daily Los Angeles Herald published an account in 1882 that described several men, Isaac Goldberg, P. W. Donner and others who, 15 years earlier in 1867, discovered "fabulous gold mines that were supposed to exist somewhere among the summit peaks of that rocky and almost inaccessible range of the Santa Catalina mountains. They discovered a hge ledge of very fine copper ore. In 1882, Goldberg went back to find the lost mine ledge. The account said "the ledge was located by Isaac Goldberg, Andrew Cronley and James Lee, and Samuel Hughes was located In an extension...The croppings brought in were very rich, and average specimens gave by assay over 30 per cent copper." The February 17, 1891 edition of the Tombstone Prospector reported a recent "New Discovery." It was one of the earliest mentions of a lost city and a mine with an iron door. It was only one of several accounts published in Arizona newspapers during the late 1880s. An article in the Arizona SIlver Bet in 1892 discussed the legends of various lost mines in California, New Mexico and Mexico, but did not mention any lost mines in Arizona. The Tombstone Epitaph published an article in its September 20, 1891 edition that described a wealthy miner who went to search for the "lost mine" near Arivaca. He had previously discovered ruby quartz in a mining dump supposedly left by the Spaniards a century before. The miner, James B. Cusenberry, met with United States Judge Barnes who told him the story of the mine: Another report of a lost mine discovery was published in the Tucson Citizen and Mohave County Miner in May 1894. It reported that: |

- Botswana has licensed Canadian company to prospect on its side of the Okavango Basin
Oscar Nkala
The Angolan parliament has revoked a ban on exploration for crude oil and natural gas in protected areas, including the wildlife-rich Okavango Basin. On February 15, parliament voted overwhelmingly to allow oil and gas exploration in natural reserves, including the Kassanje Basin, a key component of the cross-border Okavango Basin ecosystem which includes Namibia, Zambia and Botswana.
Mineral resources minister Diamantino Azevedo said oil and natural gas prospecting will cover up to 5% of protected natural reserves. He said actual drilling may cover around 3% of the area opened up for mining. Responding to concerns that opening up the Okavango Basin to mining would upset the ecosystem, degrade wildlife habitats and worsen an existing poaching crisis, Azevedo said impacts would be controlled and mining revenues used to fund nature conservation.
He added that the United States, Gabon and Norway have proven that mining can be done provided there were limitations to minimise its negative impacts on fragile natural ecosystems."What we are doing is not unheard of," he told local media in Luanda. "Oil revenues will benefit local communities and the wildlife parks themselves."
The amended bill will be signed into law by President Joao Lourenco, who was the main proponent of the changes. The vote happened nearly a week after the National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Bio-fuels invited bids for research into the potential impacts of mining on the environment in the Etosha and Okavango Basins.
"Designation is given to the contract by EPC, being Acquisition of Services, Laboratory Analysis and Technical Support for Soil Geochemistry (using the MPOG method) of the East and West Portions (Lots) of the Etosha and Okavango Basin, within the scope of the 'Project for the Study of Potential Oil in the Interior Basins,'" the agency said on February 10.
"The contracting entity is the National Concessionaire whose purpose is to regulate, supervise and promote the execution of petroleum activities, namely operations and contracting in the field of oil, gas and biofuels. Details of the tender will be provided by e-mail at the request of the bidder and upon payment of 250 000 Kwanza. The deadline for submission of proposals is March 1, 2021 at the Rua Lops de Lima, Urban District of Ingombota in Luanda."
On February 8, the agency invited bids for a parallel project to study the potential impacts of oil exploration in the eastern and western parts of Etosha and the Okavango Basin and 'interior basins of Angola' under the same 'Project for the Study of Petroleum Potential of the Interior Basins of Angola.'
Angola is the second Okavango Basin member state to open up the wildlife-rich Okavango Basin to oil and gas exploration.. Botswana has already licensed a Canadian company to prospect for hydrocarbons inside its portion of the Okavango Basin

Aer Lingus Miles Rewards Program members rejoice!
The Boston College football team, led by head coach Steve Addazio will be kicking off its 2016 campaign on September 3rd, against the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny announced earlier this month.
It will be the Eagles' second trip to Ireland and their first since 1988, when they defeated the Black Knights from Army by a score of 3824.
Apart from the gridiron action, the trip will offer Boston College players—who are unable to study abroad due to their football obligations—a unique opportunity to see a different side of the world and learn about another nation and its people.
"I know the young men on our team will remember this experience for a lifetime, and I'm so excited for them," Addazio said. "They will get to explore a new country, be immersed in a new culture, and then play the first game on the opening Saturday of the college football season."
The ties between Boston College and Ireland run deep, and the contest with Georgia Tech represents just another landmark achievement in the ever-growing relationship between the university and host nation.
For its first seventy years of existence, Boston College "remained a small undergraduate institution, offering the sons of the Irish working class a rigorous course load" in various subjects, according to Boston College's website. And even as enrollment has expanded, the university still attracts a number of students of Irish descent from all over the United States.
Boston College-Ireland relations have made headlines in recent years, particularly concerning the subpoena of various documents and tape recordings locked away on the Chestnut Hill campus. BC's Burns Library is home to hundreds of vaulted interviews from the Belfast Project, an oral history of The Troubles in Northern Ireland conducted by Boston College researchers in the early and mid-2000s. Since 2010, BC archivists have been engaged in an ongoing legal dispute in an attempt to protect the confidentiality of the interviews against a subpoena by the British government.
Controversy aside, the bout with Georgia Tech will afford SuperFans spread far and wide a chance to cheer on their Eagles in an impactful early-season matchup. Several hundred Boston College students will likely take classes abroad during the 2016-2017 academic year, many of whom will study in Europe. For most of these juniors, it will be their one and only chance to catch a 2016 Eagles football game.
But you don't have to be living in Europe to make it to the game. Boston College will be offering special packages to those students and fans who want to witness the event in person. No matter, it's sure to be an exciting time for everyone involved.

Hardware leaker momomo_us has tweeted (opens in new tab) the alleged leaked specifications of two of Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake mobile processors – the Core i5-13500H and Core i7-13700H. The spec sheet did share CPU core counts, which aren't going up. Core i5 and Core i7 models have the same core counts as their predecessors, with 12 and 14 cores, respectively.
It is a departure from Raptor Lake's desktop counterparts, where core counts went up tremendously on the E-cores. For example, the previous generation Core i9-12900K had eight P-cores and eight E-cores, but the Core i9-3900K doubled the E-cores from ight to 16. The number of E cores also jumped similarly on Intel's lower-end desktop parts, including the Core i7-13700K and Core i5-13600K.
The Core i7-12700H and Core i5-12500H each have eight E-cores, the same amount as the Core i7 13700K and Core i5-13600K desktop chips and double what the Alder Lake i7-12700K and i5-12600K had. So it seems that, for better or worse, Intel decided these mobile chips did not need more E-cores or P-cores, for that matter. We know this because the thread count and core count are the same on the Raptor Lake mobile parts as on their predecessors. (P-cores have HyperThreading, and the E-cores don't.)
As a result, we shouldn't expect these chips to have substantially better multi-threaded performance than Alder Lake, as the Raptor Lake desktop parts do. But, these parts will be getting higher-clocked Raptor Lake performance cores, with all the enhancements Intel made on the new architecture. In addition, the E-cores should also receive some upgrades, including a minor boost to clock speed, like what we see with Raptor Lake desktop chips. So there should be a significant improvement in more single-core focused applications, like gaming.
Thankfully, we won't have to wait long for these chips to arrive on the market. Intel CEO Pat Geisinger has confirmed that Raptor Lake mobile will launch by the end of the year.


text: This post depicts a simple mechanism for retrying Ajax requests in the event of a failure. The purpose is to give the service "class" a function that wraps a jQuery Ajax call and the number of times the request should be tried. The whole premise works off of jQuery Deferred Objects and Promises. When the service is first called, a general deferred object is created. This object succeeds on the first successful try and fails when the number of failures hit the maximum failures allowed. Additionally, a call back function can be provided which is executed on every single try. The use of deferred objects also simplifies the code required, since the success/failure paths will be similar to making regular Ajax calls, which are inherently deferred objects in jQuery.

President Obama will announce a set of administrative actions to combat opioid and heroin abuse on Tuesday, including several policies designed to increase access to treatment.
Importantly, all grants and agency actions will use money that is already appropriated, making Obama's moves independent of congressional action.
The announcement will come as the president attends the National Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit in Atlanta. It builds on his budget request for $1.1 billion in additional funding for opioid abuse. It also comes amid a swell of action both on Capitol Hill and within federal agencies to combat the opioid abuse problem.
"It's very significant. We're talking tens of millions of people benefiting from these rules," Dr. Richard Frank, assistant secretary for planning and evaluation at the Department of Health and Human Services, said on a call detailing the measures.
Among the most important list of action items, HHS will finalize a rule requiring Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program to cover mental health and substance abuse services at the same level they cover medical and surgical services, or at parity. This would extend behavioral health benefits to more than 23 million people enrolled in the programs.
Additionally, the president will sign a memorandum on Tuesday establishing a mental health and substance use disorder parity task force, chaired by the Domestic Policy Council. The task force will examine every federal agency dealing with insurance.
HHS will also issue a proposed rule on Tuesday to increase the patient limit for physicians qualified to prescribe buprenorphine, a form of medication-assisted treatment for opioid abuse. Doctors' patient load is currently capped at 100, but if finalized, the rule would raise the limit to 200 patients.
"Expanding access to medication-assisted treatment to opioid use disorders has been a top priority for this administration," said Michael Botticelli, director of the National Drug Control Policy.
Several grants will also be announced. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will release an $11 million grant for up to 11 states to expand their medication-assisted treatment services. A second SAMSHA grant will give another $11 million to states to purchase and distribute naloxone, which reverses opioid overdoses, and to train first responders on its use.
The Department of Justice will announce a $7 million grant for law enforcement agencies in states with high rates of primary treatment admissions for heroin and other opioids.
The private sector will also participate. More than 60 medical schools will announce that, beginning in the fall, they will require their students to take prescriber education that aligns with the newly released Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for prescribing opioids.
On a call previewing the announcement, Frank and Botticelli pushed for the administration's ask of an additional $1.1 billion from Congress for the opioid epidemic. It's unclear how Congress will respond. Senate Democrats called for an additional $600 million to be authorized on an opioid bill that passed the upper chamber earlier this month, but Republicans said the funding should be given to the administration through the regular appropriations process.

Customers began returning to personal care services like hair salons, barbershops, day spas, nail salons, and tanning facilities on May 15.
The openings brought some excitement to those who wanted a trim or a tan and also brought back a little bit of "normal" in what has been a chaotic couple of months.
At Great Clips in Mt. Orab there was a three hour wait to get in the door. Customers were walking up outside and being greeted by staff members with an Ipad and notepaper to keep track of everyone.
Many people chose to return home and wait to be called, while others waited in their cars or went shopping nearby to pass the time.
There was also a collection of people gathered by the door in expectation of being called inside soon for the haircut they had been waiting over a month to get.
Only those with appointments were allowed inside and all customers had to wear a mask.
Brown County Commissioner Daryll Gray was one of the people who finally got to sit in the barber chair after almost two months of waiting,
"My hair is so long, it's bugging the heck out of me," Gray said with a smile.
He added that he was happy to see the business with its doors open again.
"It's good that places are opening up and people can get out and do things and get back to a halfway normal life," Gray said.
He added that while wearing a mask was a little inconvenient, it was a small price to pay.
"To protect other people, I think we should go ahead and wear them around a group or if a business wants you to do it."
Great Clips Manager Nicole Little also said she was glad that the day to reopen had finally come.
"I'm excited to come back into work and getting back into a somewhat normal routine again," she said.
Little said that the customers seem to feel the same way.
"They are glad to see us and be able to get a haircut again. They really appreciate us and what we are doing," she said. "It's amazing how a trim or a haircut will make someone feel."
Little said her staff was also pleased with the reopening announcement.
"They are happy and glad to be back. They have been ready to come back for a while," Little said.
Things are not back to the way they were before all of the changes put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Some of the mandatory rules that personal care businesses must follow include;
• Ensure minimum of 6 feet between employees, if not possible, install barriers
• Social distancing will apply with exception that the distance between the client and employee may be less than six feet
• Businesses must allow all customers, patrons, visitors, contractors, vendors and similar individuals to use facial coverings, except for specifically documented legal, life, health or safety considerations and limited documented security considerations.
• Businesses must require all employees to wear facial coverings, except under limited circumstances.
• Employees must perform daily symptom assessment
• Require employees to stay home if symptomatic
• Require regular handwashing by employees
• Place hand sanitizers in high-contact locations
• Clean high-touch items after each use (e.g. carts, baskets)
• Wear gloves and dispose of gloves in between tasks in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) glove removal guidance; if gloves cannot be worn, wash hands in between tasks in accordance with CDC handwashing guidance

Legian is the picture of relaxation. Just about the only action the beach gets is from the evening fire spinners, whose quick hands pass orange balls of light through the sky. Surfers, body boarders and sunbathers share the calm sands happily. There are plenty of markets, cafes and restaurants to satisfy your cravings for merchandise and meals. If you itch to mingle with locals, you might be able to join in the game of football that happens nightly on Blue Ocean Beach.

Two distinctly different processes of change are likely to operate in rural areas as a consequence of urbanisation (Surinder S Jodhka, "Changing Face of Rural India", EPW, 5 April 2014).
Food Insecurity, Vulnerability and Human Rights Failure edited by Basudeb Guha-Khasnobis, Shabd S Acharya and Benjamin Davis;
Safety nets to support the hardcore poor form the foundation of the strategy for poverty elimination. This paper brings out the alarming state of the existing safety nets and describes a decentralised approach to make them more effective. The approach is in the nature of extension of the decentralised mode being used by National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme to provide employment guarantee to unskilled labourers.
This note suggests a self-help group model for farmers so as to set up a simple and feasible arrangement to insure their enterprises against risk and uncertainty caused by weather and price fluctuations.
The NCEUS report is an important step towards bringing unorganised sector workers under some form of social protection. However, the cart of a social security system needs three galloping horses to take it to the destination of a deprivation-free unorganised worker: viable enterprises, successful poverty alleviation programmes and congenial macro policies, none of which is in sight.
Provision of social security to the unorganised workers is currently receiving the urgent attention of the central government and some of the state governments. This paper, based on a large sample of unorganised workers - construction workers, domestic workers and agricultural labourers - from Karnataka, presents indices of their economic conditions and deprivation to show how inadequate it is to use the below poverty line criterion for providing benefits to unorganised sector workers. The priority social security needs are analysed to show the diversity within and across sectors, and to review the policy measures - existing and those on the anvil.
As the May 2004 national and state elections showed, farmer distress has now become a volcanic force capable of sweeping away political parties and policy regimes unfriendly to farmers. Karnataka and Andhra, two high profile IT states, have witnessed the ruthlessness with which this force works. This paper presents clues from Karnataka indicating that farmer distress is an outcome not of the lack of agricultural growth but, paradoxically, of the enterprising qualities of farmers who pursue growth and even achieve it in good measure. The indications are that farmers in Karnataka respond quite well to changing markets and are receptive to new technologies. But the drought-prone environment, combined with a non-caring policy regime, turns into victims the very producers who bring about growth.
The functioning of the Public Distribution System (PDS) in India has come under scrutiny because of rising burden of subsidy and storage cost and meagre coverage of the poor and the actual benefits received by them. It is argued in this paper that the existing system has become unwieldy and unsustainable and that the time has come to review it, especially in the context of panchayat raj institutions (PRI) and the role they are expected to play in regard to the rural poor. With the help of illustrative data from two drought-prone districts of Karnataka, an attempt is made in the paper to demonstrate the feasibility of a decentralised system operated by PRI based on the local staples consumed by the poor. The result seems encouraging enough to suggest that it would be worthwhile to have more substantive investigation as also pilot projects to test the workability of the decentralised system.

iPod, Part II
I had my say about the iPod flea/nano/whatever earlier this week. The Motorola ROKR was Apple's other interesting recent announcement. In short, the ROKR brings iTunes to a cellphone. I find it interesting not because it's so revolutionary, but because the phone itself is so ordinary. That doesn't sound like Apple, does it?
Why wouldn't the first iTunes phone be as uniquely designed as the Mac, the Newton or the iPod itself? It's basically a run-of-the-mill phone which happens to offer iTunes service. By the way, that service doesn't sound all that slick – the songs have to be loaded from a computer, not from the wireless connection itself. Huh?
The phone only holds about 100 songs, so it's not likely to replace your dedicated MP3 player. Apple was probably a bit concerned about releasing a phone that could hold lots more and has a higher coolness factor. Why? It could kill the golden goose the iPod franchise has become . They wouldn't want to do that for a measly licensing fee to Motorola or some other manufacturer.
Surely Apple has something a lot more exciting than the ROKR on the drawing board, right? I have zero inside information on this, but my guess is they'll measure the interest level in an iTunes-enabled phone with the ROKR, then follow that up with a real Apple product down the road. What's a "real Apple product"? It's one that is exclusively branded "Apple", which means they'll get the revenue, not just a piece of it.
