Serena Williams' reactions to the umpire's calls in her U.S. Tennis Open final certainly cost her a point and a game and perhaps the match and title. Don't do what she did. You can't control some events. But you can, and must, control your reaction to events.
First Serena received a warning from the umpire for receiving help from her coach in the stands. Then, she slammed her racquet, broke it, and received a one-point penalty. Then she demanded an apology from the umpire and calling him a "thief." He gave her a one-game penalty for "verbal abuse." Then she lost the set and the match.
Many are asking whether the first warning was "fair." Whether or not it was fair, it happened and Serena paid a material cost for her reaction.
Things are going to happen to you that you do not think are fair. You are certainly entitled to your own opinion about those events' fairness and probably can't control how you feel. Do understand there are consequences to how you choose to react. The strong suggestion is to stop and consider those consequences before deciding on your reaction. You might choose to:
It is truly a choice.
There is no right answer. Perhaps Serena knew exactly what she was doing. Perhaps she was fighting for a higher purpose. Perhaps not. Be clear on what matters to you and why so you know if the slight is mortal, damaging or no big deal and react accordingly.

I wanted to choose a Bible to give to David now that he is reading. I wanted him to have his very own Bible as we begin our formal schooling years.
I got the idea from a dear friend to have a treasure hunt on the first day of school and to give David a Bible as the treasure at the end.
I went to the store to see what was on offer.
I wanted a Bible that had large print and that had a lot of spacing between the lines of text as that is what he needs to read well right now.
I found all of these options (I would have also included the Beginners Bible but we already have that one and I wanted this to be something special and new for him.)
There were things I really liked about all of these story Bible options. The one I picked though was the Big Picture Story Bible. I loved how it told the story of God's plan for the world and redemption as a whole and I predict David will like the bookmark.

Recently, G and I went on honeymoon and started in Zambia (read all about it here), where I had a dish that was truly enchanting and it turns out, when I made it at home, really quite simple and easy to make. It lends itself to being made ahead with only minimal amount of effort to finish it off. Crispy filo pastry wraps around a filling of spinach, garlic and onions with crunchy cashew nuts, flecks of goats cheese and soft sweet raisins.
Two weeks in Africa – Zambia
As some of you may know, G and I recently got married – it was the single greatest day of my life and I was so honoured to share it with all the people I got to share it with. I'm not normally one for gushing online but all the lovely people know who they are and we're very grateful. Never wanting to make things easy for myself, I also decided to make one of the canapés – which I was rather pleased with in the end. It was a tomato consommé (you can find a link to the recipe here), and the biggest challenge was working out how to hang 10 kilos of tomatoes suspended in muslin cloth for a day. It's a challenge I wasn't expecting for my wedding day if I'm honest but a little rope and my in-laws' garage later and there we were. If I were making it again in such ridiculous quantities (which I'm unlikely to do) I'd use another couple of layers of muslin as the weight of the tomatoes squeezed the juice out faster than usual meaning it stayed a little red rather than going clear and golden – though the taste was unaffected. After the wedding G and I went on honeymoon to Southern Africa, we saw and did the most amazing things and importantly had the most amazing food.
Tortilla – Spanish omelette, the perfect midweek meal?
Recently I wrote about Barrafina, in my opinion the best tapas restaurant in London. One of the dishes I didn't write about is their tortilla. It's a melting in the middle Spanish omelette that's perfectly judged and makes an amazing quick dinner. However, I'd never managed to get mine to be good enough to warrant sharing with you – until now. Barrafina's tortillas are remarkable in that they are thick and flavoursome throughout the whole of the tortilla, not just around the filling and they are never dry. The secret, a little patience – you leave the onions and potatoes in the egg mixture for 10 minutes (or up to a day) before cooking.
Braised pork belly with celeriac puree, pickled oyster mushrooms, pork and caramel sauce and crackling
This recipe is one for my fictional restaurant (one day). As with any recipe there are a few things I would tweak, but that's just because I love to fiddle with things. I've cooked this dish, or a version of it many times when people come round because it's so easy to get all the work done in advance and you know how I like that. In fact, I've even posted a dinner party plan before with this as one of the dishes, I just hadn't posted the recipe – until now. Pork belly was the first meat that I learnt to cook in a way which I thought was as good as I would get in a restaurant and I've now got so many ways of cooking it that I love – but this method was the first and for that will always one I love.
How to pickle: Pickled mushrooms
We're moving into prime wild mushroom season, something England does fantastically well. Buying wild mushrooms at the farmers' market is a veritable exercise in the wonders of nature. Cloud ear mushrooms, King oysters, Girolles, Trompettes, Shitake, Hen of the Woods, Ceps and Chanterelles piled high and ready to be taken home and devoured. If I'm honest, they rarely get any other treatment than being quickly cooked with olive oil, butter and salt, and heaped on top of grilled sourdough bread – sometimes I'll even throw a poached egg on top for my all time favourite brunch. However, I've been doing a lot of picnicking recently and I think these wild mushrooms deserve a place on the picnic rug. These quick pickled mushroom recipes are not only perfect for a picnic, quick to do and easily done a week in advance, but they go amazingly well with rich meats like pâtés, pork belly and game (which is coming into season now – pickled girolles with grouse is amazing).
Croquettas, octopus, lemon sole and squid @ Barrafina, London
Barrafina is my favourite Tapas restaurant in London. It has steep competition as Tapas has become so "hip" it's in danger of people rejecting it for being too mainstream – there's no crowd more fickle than foodies. Salt Yard and its sister restaurant Ember Yard are both fantastic; Jose (and Pizarro) is delicious, Moro has really interesting North African influences; Fino is like Barrafina but you can book (and the identical menu is slightly less well cooked). However, for me, Barrafina has the best food and the best atmosphere. I don't mind waiting (and you will wait) because I can have some beautiful oloroso or palo cortado sherry and eat salty, delicious iberico ham croquettas in the queue. Barrafina has a wonderful vibe, it feels like everyone there loves food, they love talking about food, they love eating it and they love cooking it. You feel special just for sitting down. And, like all tapas restauarants, they have to turn out a huge number of dishes in a very short time and that takes preparation, the kind of preparation you can use in your own kitchens.
Olive Oil Crushed Potatoes
In the Summer, our beautiful new flat, which we just bought, gets hot and, on the rare days when London decides it's going to have a heat wave, it can get _really_ hot. Combine that with grilling steak, a small whisky induced hangover and beautiful people coming to visit and it was pretty clear we wanted to sit outside. Thus began the most calamity strewn and yet ultimately brilliant picnic I think I've ever had. It started so well, we realised that the five minute walk to the park was the perfect amount of time to rest the grilled skirt steak, the salad was made (more on that later), the wine was chilled (more on that later) and the dessert was ready (more on that later). It took approximately ten paces out the door for the first disaster to strike. Continue reading
Lemon sole with asparagus
Fish – lots of people are scared of cooking it. Maybe it'll be overcooked, maybe it'll stick to the pan, maybe it'll look ugly or taste dry and bland. Also it absolutely has to be cooked last minute and can't wait for other things to be ready so it can be really stressful to cook for guests. However, the recipe I'm sharing with you here is the recipe that changed all of that for me. In many ways it started my love of fish and taught me not to be scared of cooking it, so it's very close to my heart. It was first taught to me by the lovely folk over at the Asburton Cookery School (which I can't recommend highly enough). It allows you to prep all the fish in advance, controls the cooking time and looks really professional.
Confit duck – Scotch Eggs, Rillette and Roasted
Over here at TimedEating I like to write about taking the stress out of cooking and making it less last-minute. Sometimes that requires being a little clever and using things I've learnt in restaurants. But at other times, you don't need to be clever at all. At moments like those, you just have to recognise something that's brilliant in and of itself – a perfect storm of taste and convenience. These are the dishes I feel most happy to share, and confit duck is one of them. It's just so simple, moreish and versatile.
Duck Ham
Sometimes all you want to do is look in your fridge and see something you want to eat, right then and there no cooking required. Sometimes this happens when friends are round and you haven't really expected them to be – you've got nothing in, your freezer is empty. It's times like these I normally turn to take-out and am forever grateful I live in one of the best cities in the world with food available at a moment's notice. The worst of the worst though is when you've got a plan for dinner – you're going to have those leftovers from the other day. You're absolutely starving, don't want to wait for take out and then you realise it's too late the leftovers are gone. Recipes like this one are for those homemade treats which can sit in your fridge quite happily until your need is great (or you just eat them because they're delicious.

Having installed Mint countless times and 18.3 many times, this is a new problem that appears to be associated with a HD larger than 2TB, specifically a 4TB drive.
After formatting the 4TB drive using GParted the same way done on a 1TB drive just a few days earlier, I installed Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64.
Upon reboot after installation, it gets past the BIOS screen and stops:
"No boot device available - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility"
Tried multiple things:
- Reinstalled
- Changed partition table type from "msdos" to "gpt"
- (partition table screenshot attached)
"The partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a separate partition for boot loader code. This partition should be marked for use as a "Reserved BIOS boot area" and should be at least 1MB in size. Not that this is not the same as a partition mounted on /boot."
If this represents the problem, I do not know how to solve it. Help is greatly appreciated.
Because I do not know what this represents nor the solution, I just clicked "Continue" and it *appeared* to complete the installation as shown in the third screenshot.
However, it won't boot.
Thank you,
Dell Optiplex 780 Quad Core Tower.

over-excited about…
sometimes, i get really {over}excited about a project and jump into it with good intentions…like this blog. and then eons occur without updating. and i wonder why i don't have a following. of any kind. not even close friends/family.
i know i should regularly post, but my life feels so blase that there is TRULY nothing to share.
maybe i'll get my act together and do a massive post summarizing what's gone on since i last semi-regularly updated. and then **TRY** and regularly update content.
or….maybe i'll just start another blog.

Updated: 11 January, 2018
5G is some years away from commercial deployment and standards are still in development. In January 2016, the University of Surrey's 5G Innovation Centre published a whitepaper proposing the Flat Distributed Cloud (FDC) as an architecture for next generation cellular networking.
For the reader's ease, we've used present and future tenses ("does" and "will") in this guide. The Flat Distributed Cloud (FDC) is at present a DRAFT next generation network architecture proposal. The 5GIC has simulated and analysed "most" of the fundamental principles of the architecture (with "encouraging" results), and has implemented some key aspects on its testbed. The architecture builds on currently used technologies and principles and extends those that are currently standardised functions to add 5G functionality. Here's what you need to know.
What is the Flat Distributed Cloud (FDC)?
The FDC is an architecture proposed by the 5GIC for 5G cellular networks. However, the FDC goes beyond cellular networks in that services are provided wirelessly to the end device via a converged fixed and mobile infrastructure that works anywhere, from rural to dense urban areas.
FDC uses both fixed and wireless bearers and will interconnect with wireline, internet, cloud and content delivery networks (CDNs). In fact, the 5GIC believes the opportunity exists to make FDC the de facto communication network architecture for the next generation of communications.
What's in a Name?
The FDC is flat as its architecture is flatter than previous generations reducing the number of network layers from three in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network to one for 70% of use cases and two for the remaining 30%. The aim is to reduce latency and improve security.
It is distributed in that it is physically distributed in different resources according to mobile demands, and intelligently distributed to keep user data close to where it is needed. With this architecture it is possible to slice the network elements according to user's needs.
It is cloud – or rather cloud-based – so that it is scalable and not solely reliant on local physical resources.
What will FDC do?
The FDC has been designed to always make the best uses of the resources available – at the time of each new communication request and in the context of the user at the time of the communication request. It will use network and spectrum resources to deliver "always sufficient" data at minimal latency. The quality, speed and predictability of the experience will give the user the impression there is infinite capacity available.
The key attributes of the FDC are the same as in other new and emerging technologies: it will be efficient, flexible, scalable, agile and dynamic.
How will it do it?
The FDC network is arranged in dynamic virtual cell clusters overlaid onto hardware clusters located in data centres of varying sizes. This horizontal cell clustering makes the network flexible. The clusters will be able to be easily reorganised to meet changing service and load requirements.
Vertical network slicing will make multiple slices of the network available to different users and/or different services for the same user.
The FDC employs network function virtualisation (NFV) and software defined networking (SDN) techniques – essentially using software to automate, manage, configure and optimise the network, make the network intelligent and dynamic, and enable the rapid launch of new services. SDN will separate the user and control planes to minimise the setup time for each new connection or communication request.
The 5GIC is proposing a new Meta-Data Protocol (MDP) that will deliver a context-aware user plane control.
The 5GIC also envisages a new SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition)-like framework for the internet of things (IoT) that will support evolving mobile IoT uses such as driverless cars and drones. LTE is not cost effective or agile enough for such applications.
What is the context?
The FDC context enables the network by employing a context information management system that drives the 5Ws (what, where, when, why, who) principle into the network and uses network, user and device profiles to provide contextual information to service the communication request – at the time of the communication request. Such information may include the user's location, location type (at home, work, on the move), device, device type (corporate, personal, BYOD), connection type (fixed, mobile), etc. The user profile will also support frequent and recently used lists to optimise the cloud over 5G experience.
The FDC architecture uses learned intelligence over time to round out and build on that context.
The new Meta-Data Protocol (MDP) protocol enables contextual information to be exchanged by and between the network and different users of the network in an efficient, scalable and secure manner. The user can selectively (but securely) share information with the network and other third party stakeholders that the user enables in order to improve the users experience directly or as a result of empowering the access network to better support the user request with priority information from the user.
FDC is context aware, in that it can identify common events, common usage patterns and short-term trends. For example, it can identify and predict popular content that will be simultaneously watched by multiple users, and dynamically collapse a number of identical unicast streams into one multicast stream.
FDC builds in content caching and pre-fetching at the edge of the network, in order to speed up delivery of popular content. This is an area that is currently underdeveloped in mobile networks, and methods that are available are proprietary.
It uses location and user profiling for predictive signalling and signalling optimisation to reduce signalling load, such as minimising mobility updates and paging, and reducing measurement reporting.
What's Next?
The 5GIC will continue to develop FDC and move from simulating the key tenets of the architecture to emulating them in its campus-wide testbed.
In October 2016 the 5GIC successfully performed the world's first full demonstration of an orchestrated, virtualised 5G architecture, using its FDC architecture. The next step is for 5GIC to demonstrate FDC-based network slicing, a timetable for which has not been given.

|Network Team Lead
|Almost 10 Years
|Masters in Information Technology
|Time with Allshore:
|3 Years and 6 Months
It seems here at Allshore, if you find yourself in a technical bind, Asad M is the man ask for help. Raheel A, the CEO of our Islamabad office had this to say, "Asad is an extremely hard working professional who has an ability to manage many concurrent tasks. This is one of the reasons that one hundred present of our nodes, networks and servers are functioning perfectly. He has a firm knowledge of networking and IT and he knows how to easily manage his team and resources."
A member of Asad's networking team, David M, couldn't say enough good things about him. "As my immediate manager, Asad has constantly amplified his direction and support to me for all my work ventures at Allshore/Datumsquare. He has always served as an example to everyone in the Network Department, and has always ingrained professionalism and core values in us. I have grown professionally due to his efforts and am grateful and much obliged to him for his direction and supervision."
What college did you attend and what degree(s) do you have?
I attended Edwards College in Peshawar where I received my Bachelors in Science. Then I received my Masters in IT with a specialization in System Administration from Iqra University.
What interests you so much about IT and computers?
It is a world of technology now, everything is controlled by computers. I knew I wanted to be a part of this new world and I love working on new technology!
What is your favorite framework to work with and why?
I love working in Linux, especially Centos. Linux is Microsoft's competitor in many fields. It is a lot more stable then Microsoft and I feel it's easier to work in than Windows.
What do you think are the most important skills and abilities in order to remain successful in this career?
If you are responsible for a technology there is a big need to keep yourself updated, and constantly research any related fields so you are able to give correct and prompt help. Like in Linux and networking, I am required to have some knowledge of PHP and Databases.
What is the most valuable thing you have learned through your working experiences?
I have learned that letting go is one of the toughest things you can ever do, because you literally are making yourself vulnerable. It takes a lot of courage, strength and faith to believe in yourself, and to trust your own judgment.
What is your favorite thing about working in the office, and what is your best advice for a new comer joining our company?
Be honest and work hard because there are a lot of opportunities to grow and develop in this company. The environment is great and there is a lot of respect between coworkers. We also have plenty of fun activities too!
Can you tell us about your family and what you guys like to do in your free time?
I have the most perfect family in the world! It includes me, my wife and my two kids, my daughter, Zynah, and my son Azlan. I love spending time with my kids and make time daily to do so. Especially our daily morning pillow fights! We go out on weekends and like to spend time at the park and go out to dinner.
Have you and your family traveled anywhere interesting, and what is the next place on your list?
We love traveling to the nearby hill stations of Islamabad such as Murree and Pir Sohawa. We also took a really nice visit to Lahore last year. We are planning to visit Swat Valley, which is called the Switzerland of Pakistan. I have traveled plenty of times but my kids haven't been yet. It is a nice hill station with glaciers and there are many places to visit there, and you can find delicious trout to fish.
What is your favorite food, and your favorite movie?
We have a dish called Namkeen Tikka which is boiled and fried mutton. It's my most favorite thing to eat! Life as We Know It and No Country for Old Men are two movies that I saw recently and I really like them.
Do you have any funny stories from home to share?
It was during one of my exam times in college that I found myself really stressed out. I ended up driving in my car to the market and was thinking constantly about my upcoming exams. I couldn't get them out of my head. I was walking home from the market when I happened to meet up with my brother, and he looked at me confused, and asked me where the car was. I couldn't believe it! I was so preoccupied I forgot I drove there! Thankfully my brother went with me back to the market to get the forgotten car.
While Asad may seem like he's just a hardworking man and father, he does have a mysterious side to him. "If I could play any character in a movie it would be James Bond! It would be interesting to be a spy and have all that danger around you!" As much as we think he would do well at anything he sets his mind to, I think we'll keep him.

Sorry State of Remnants of Kashmir's Cultural History
The Kashmir Valley – which is home to several centuries-old shrines built by Islamic rulers – is also known as Peeri Weaar (the valley of saints)
November 20, 2018
Archaeological monuments and heritage sites from Jammu and Kashmir have been neglected for long, and have been defaced and damaged due to lack of maintenance. Many structures have been damaged due to fire caused by lightning, short circuits etc.
The Kashmir Valley – which is home to several centuries-old shrines built by Islamic rulers – is also known as Peeri Weaar (the valley of saints). A number of structures were built to commemorate saints and religious preachers. The architecture and the design of these buildings are distinctive, and have been attracting people from all over the world.
However, due to the government's neglect, the many forts, palaces, temples, museums and shrines from Kashmir are slowly getting destroyed. Many heritage buildings have been converted into offices for the administrative authorities, like the divisional commissioner's office in Srinagar. On the other hand, many structures have been completely demolished and complexes have been built on these sites.
On December 17, 2017, a 150-year-old dispensary from Maharaj Gunj, Srinagar – which was declared a heritage building by the Department of Archives, Archaeology and Museums – was demolished. The building was built in 1865, and was commissioned by Maharaja Ranbir Singh. It was constructed using stones, bricks of mid-19th century and lime mortar. The wooden roof, supported by bulky round pillars of Greek design, is a common architectural feature of the historical buildings in the Valley. The precious wood which was removed during demolition, and was kept unattended near the site, was eventually used by the shopkeepers in the area as firewood, according to the locals.
Kashmir is prone to natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, water logging due to heavy rainfall, snowstorms, and windstorms. No provision has been made by the government to save the heritage buildings in case of such events.
Apart from this, issues faced by these sites include arson, electrical hazards, theft, burglary, vandalism, deterioration due to age, and decay due to lack of maintenance. Shrines in Kashmir – the most common type of heritage buildings found across the valley – are made of walnut, pine and deodar (Himalayan cedar) wood, which makes them more susceptible to decay. The ongoing conflict is also one of the major threats to these structures.
In 1438, a shrine was built in Charar, Budgam, around the grave of a renowned poet and Sufi saint of Kashmir, Sheikh Noor Din, also known as Nund Resh. It was constructed using pure deodar timber, and exhibited patterns of traditional Kashmiri architecture such as Pinjra Qari, Zoone Dab etc. However, in May 1995, when armed resistance in the Valley was at its peak, around 21 militants took refuge in this shrine. To kill the militants, armed forces used gunpowder to set the shrine ablaze. The blaze not only killed the militants, but also reduced the heritage building to ashes. In lieu of the wooden structure, a new building made of concrete was erected, which had no resemblance with the old structure.
Even though most of the shrines have been constructed using wood, no measures have been taken to protect them from fire. There have been several incidents in the past when fire had damaged such structures.
Khanqah-e-Moula, which is better known as Khanqah mosque and a shrine of a Sufi saint Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani was built in 1395 AD by Iranian architects who had travelled with the saint from Iran to Kashmir. On November 16, 2017, the mosque situated on the bank of river Jhelum in the old city of Srinagar, was damaged due to fire. Before firefighters could reach the spot to control the flames, the fire, triggered by lightening at night, had damaged the spire of the shrine.
Many staircases have been added to this structure, electric wires have been fixed on the wood, and iron nails have been hammered into the walls. Because of these alterations, the wooden structure has developed cracks. The condition of all the shrines of J&K is more or less the same.
At some places, wooden pillars, which were damaged, have been repaired using iron parts. Intricately carved wooden Jali sky lights above the Mehrab have been replaced with glass in the wooden frame. Paintings and carvings on the walls has been damaged due to the new layers of paints, and the cracks in wood have been filled with cement.
Before Islam came to Kashmir – in around 14th century – Hinduism was the religion practiced by the major inhabitants of the Valley. In Naushara, two Shiv Temples at Vichar Nag (spring), located on the outskirts of Srinagar, were built by King Meghwahan's wife Queen Amrita Prabha. Historians believe that the temple was built in the 10th century. The temple stood next to the Anchar Lake. One of the temples was famous for its spring and its unique stone Shiv Lingam. Large devri (lime stone) stones were used for construction of stairs to the spring on West and South side of the temple.
At present, the temples are in a dilapidated state, and parts of the temples are lying in the courtyard, while most of the stones were looted by people who lived nearby for construction of their residences.
The temples has received no attention from the authorities. The land, which belongs to the temples, was also taken over by local people. The encroachment in the area has worsened the condition of the temples.
Professor Zaheen, who teaches history at University of Kashmir, says that Kashmir's archaeology and heritage must be preserved. The conservation of these buildings will be a significant step towards this direction.
"We can generate huge revenue from these monuments, but government must take serious steps to preserve them. These are the gems of our history. If they will be neglected, our future generation will only be able to read about these monuments in the books," says Zaheen.
According to the research done by the Tourism Department of Kashmir, heritage and cultural sites attract more tourists.
As per the Archaeology Department, more than 800 to 900 monuments and heritage buildings are currently unprotected in Kashmir.

A simple and efficient ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted in-situ solvent formation microextraction (IL-UA-ISFME) in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) has been gainfully developed for the trace determination of four phthalate esters (PEs) in environmental water samples. In this method, a hydrophobic ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) was created by addition of a hydrophilic ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) to sample solution constituting an ion-pairing agent (NaPF6). The analytes were extracted inside the ionic liquid phase while the microextraction solvent was dispersed through the sample by utilizing ultrasonic radiation. The sample was then centrifuged and extracting phase retracted into the microsyringe, diluted with acetonitrile, and injected to HPLC. At first, vigorous parameters controlling the performance of the microextraction process were considered and optimized. The limit of detections (LOD, S/N = 3) were in the range of 0.22-0.33 µg L-1 while the RSD% values were below than 6.1% (n = 5). A good linearity (0.996 ≥ r2 ≥ 0.992) and a broad linear over the concentration range from 1.0 to 500 µg L-1 were achieved. At last, the method was applied for the preconcentration and sensitive determination of the PEs in several environmental water samples. The accuracy of the method in the real samples was examined by the relative recovery experiments with results ranging from 90-107%, which approved that intricate matrixes had approximately slight effect on the developed procedure.

NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. – Penn State New Kensington students, staff and faculty completed seven service projects in six days, making an impact on the local Alle-Kiski region and beyond. Between Sept. 10 and 15, the various on-campus and off-campus projects totaled to more than 200 hours of service completed by more than 50 members of the campus community.
"We're just looking to make the biggest impact we can on our community," said Michele Marcks, assistant director of student affairs.
Projects during the week included kicking off a month-long food drive to benefit the Westmoreland County Food Bank; folding flags that were sent to active military members stationed overseas; stuffing envelopes for this year's campus THON efforts; making tug toys for the Animal Protectors animal shelter in New Kensington; completed landscaping projects at the shelter; and participating in the "Rocking for Residents" event at Vincentian Senior Citizens Home.

The campus team spent the annual Day of Caring painting a hospitality building at Northmoreland Park in Apollo, Pa. The event also coincided with the campus' Week of Service event.
The week's events also coincided with United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania's Day of Caring on Sept. 14. For the past five years, a team of staff and faculty from the campus participate in the Day of Caring to help local organizations. This year, the team ventured to Apollo, Pennsylvania, and painted a hospitality facility at Northmoreland Park, part of the Westmoreland County Parks system. Past Day of Caring activities included painting projects at the Valley Points Family YMCA in New Kensington, book cleaning at People's Library in New Kensington and exterior painting at the Westmoreland County Food Bank Warehouse in Delmont.
While all the projects during the week were impactful, Marcks said one moment, in particular, stood out to her.
"On Sept. 11, we did flag folding," explained Marks. "They were mini flags that were also being sent with a note for soldiers overseas. At least three of our veteran students came by and said how meaningful projects like that were to those in the service, and then they joined in helping and writing notes. It was one of those moments where you could observe something full circle."
Marks hopes the students who helped complete the multiple projects know that there is more to being a college student outside of class.
"I hope that giving back to others and taking a moment out of their busy days to do something for someone else really helped them reflect and see that they can have a difference in their communities and abroad," said Marcks.
Although the Week of Service has ended, that doesn't mean service projects are complete for the year. Marcks is looking forward to Penn State New Kensington hosting other Penn State campuses from western Pennsylvania for the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service in January.
"Instead of a day off, we make it a day on for service," said Marks. "This year, our campus is hosting, and we'll be able to help in the local New Kensington community."
If students are interested in participating in service projects or other activities, they can visit the Student Life office on campus to learn more. They can also reach out to Marks by emailing her at email@example.com.

An IT contractor claims an off-the-cuff remark about a bacon butty cost him a dream £1,000 a week job.
Clive Hunt, 58, says he was offered the eight month contract with the NHS after attending an interview set up by recruitment firm Reed.
But he says he lost out on the job he should have started last Monday after he told a recruitment consultant he would 'get the bacon sarnies in'.
The married dad, from Heywood, said he wasn't aware he had offended recruitment consultant Sharika Sacranie, 29, who he met at the firm's offices in King Street, Manchester, to finalise paperwork, until he received a phone call from a senior manager. Mr Hunt said: "After we shook hands she said that she would come over to meet me on site with the other contractors and take us for breakfast. My parting words to her were 'I will buy the bacon sandwiches'.
"Later, as I was driving home, Ms Sacranie's manager called me and wanted to know about the racist remark I had made. I said I had not made one and he said I had said that I would get her a bacon sandwich. But I only made the remark because she referred to breakfast.
"The woman was of Asian appearance. I am not a racist, never have been. I wasn't brought up that way.
"Bacon sandwiches are often eaten at breakfast. I didn't think for a minute this would have caused offence otherwise I wouldn't have said it. I have lost a contract because of an unassuming remark about a bacon sarnie. I have been an IT contractor for 30 years and never been subjected to this.
"I'm really gutted that I've missed out on this job. I was over the moon when I got it . I love working for the NHS, I know their systems."
A spokesman for Reed said: "Due to inappropriate comments made to members of our staff during the recruitment process before Mr Hunt started his new role we have unfortunately decided that we do not feel we can represent this client further.
"A senior manager from the Reed team spoke to Mr Hunt via telephone following an inappropriate comment made to a member of staff before he was due to start in the role. During that conversation, Mr Hunt made further inappropriate comments.
"At this point it became clear to the senior manager that Reed could no longer represent Mr Hunt. Reed is committed to supporting its staff, clients and candidates and this is not a decision we have taken lightly."
Mr Hunt added: "When the manager called me, I was driving and I got increasingly exasperated as he kept telling me I should admit to my wrongdoing for referring to bacon sandwiches. In the end I told him to 'sod off' and put the phone down. They have blown this out of all proportion."
