Nevado del Ruiz , Colombiea :

Subject: Bulletin of activity of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano.
The level of activity continues at the level: Yellow activity level or (III): changes in the behavior of volcanic activity.

With regard to monitoring the activity of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, the COLOMBIAN GEOLOGICAL SERVICE informs that:

The seismicity caused by the fracturing of the rocks that make up the volcano, has shown a significant increase in the number of events and similar levels in the released seismic energy, compared with the previous week. This highlights a seismic increase recorded on April 2, located in the southwest sector of the volcano (about 5.2 km from the crater Arenas), at depths between 3.5 and 5.3 km. The maximum magnitude recorded during the week was 1.6 ML (Local Magnitude) corresponding to the earthquake recorded at 05:19 (local time) on April 2, located southwest of Arenas Crater, at a depth of 4, 1 km. The other active sources during the week were the Southwest, Northeast, South and Southeast sources of the volcanic structure, and to a lesser extent in the Arenas crater, at depths between 0.9 and 8.0 km.

The seismic activity associated with the dynamics of the fluids within the channels of the volcanic structure showed similar levels in the number of registered earthquakes and in the released seismic energy, compared to the previous week. This type of activity is characterized mainly by the occurrence of multiple fluid earthquakes, long periods and very long periods, as well as tremor impulses. The earthquakes were located mainly in the vicinity of the crater of Arenas.

Volcanic deformation measured from electronic inclinometers, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations and radar images shows stability behavior without recording significant deformation processes of the volcanic structure.

The volcano continues to emit water vapor and gases into the atmosphere, among which the sulfur dioxide (SO2) is distinguished, as evidenced by the values obtained by the SCANDOAS stations installed on the volcano and the analysis satellite images. In tracking the information provided by the MIROVA and NASA FIRMS portals, several thermal anomalies have been identified near the Arenas crater.

The column of gas and steam reached a maximum height of 1650 m measured on the summit of the volcano, April 2. The direction of column dispersion was governed by the direction of the wind in the area, which had a predominant direction to the northwest, from the Arenas crater.

The Nevado del Ruiz volcano continues at the level of yellow activity.

Cleveland , Aleutian Islands :

52°49’20 » N 169°56’42 » W,
Summit Elevation 5676 ft (1730 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

Following the explosion yesterday, a small ash emission was detected in local seismic data and in satellite data at 19:06 UTC / 11:06 AKST. Strongly elevated surface temperatures at the summit of the volcano have also been observed in multiple satellite images.

Cleveland volcano is monitored by only two seismic stations, which restricts AVO’s ability to detect precursory unrest that may lead to an explosive eruption. Rapid detection of an ash-producing eruption may be possible using a combination of seismic, infrasound, lightning, and satellite data.

Maly Semyachik , Kamchatka :

54.14 N, 159.67 E;
Elevation 5117 ft (1560 m)
Aviation Colour Code is YELLOW

An activity of the volcano increased. Ash explosions up to 16,400-23,000 ft (5-7 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.

An activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano on 29 March and 01-02 April, the volcano was obscured by clouds in the other days of week.

Maly Semyachik is a compound stratovolcano located in a 10-km-wide caldera within the 15 x 20 km mid-Pleistocene Stena-Soboliny caldera. Following construction during the late Pleistocene of the Paleo-Semiachik volcano beginning about 20,000 years before present (BP), activity migrated to the SW, forming Meso-Semiachik (about 11,000-9000 BP) and Ceno-Semiachik (about 8000 BP to the present). An initial stage lasting about 3500 years was dominantly explosive, constructing the present cone. A second stage beginning about 4400 years ago was marked by alternating constructive and destructive processes during which the volcano was destroyed by major explosions and then reconstructed. A crater lake fills the historically active Troitsky Crater, which formed during a large explosive eruption about 400 years ago.

Nevados de Chillan , Chile :

During this period, 44 events classified as volcano-tectonic events (VT), processes related to the fracturing of rigid materials, with local maximum amplitudes (ML) of M2.6, were recorded. The strongest earthquake was located 4.7 km southeast (SE) of the active crater at a depth of 4.0 km.
Similarly, 3874 earthquakes associated with fluid dynamics within the volcano were recorded, of which 2645 were classified as long period type (LP) events with a reduced maximum displacement value ( DRC) of 570 cm2 associated with an explosive event whose column reached 2000 m. altitude. This earthquake is the one that released the most seismic energy according to our historical records since the beginning of this eruptive process. Finally, 1229 tremor type earthquakes (TR) were recorded with harmonic characteristics in the frequency spectrum, the largest with a reduced displacement of 80 cm, considered as high intensity values.

Between March 16 and 31, there were a total of 765 explosions associated mainly with magmatic gases. From the 24th, a reduction of the deployed seismic energy was initiated, which culminated with the explosion of 30 and 31, recording a maximum acoustic pressure of 14 Pa reduced to 1 km distance. This explosion recorded the highest sound pressure since the appearance of the dome.

The images obtained through the cameras installed on the volcanic complex showed mainly gas emissions associated with the explosions, coming from the craters currently active with column heights lower than 2000 m compared to the level of the crater. In addition, at night, the cameras recorded sporadic glow associated with some explosions and / or increased gas emissions from the active crater.

On April 03, an overflight was made during which white and gray energy pulses, mainly water vapor and low pyroclast  contents were observed, through the central crack, as well as a constant degassing of other sectors. Comparatively, the Gil Cruz dome has increased in volume since the last sighting (March 11th). A subsidence of its central part was observed. The maximum temperature recorded on the dome was 670 ° C.

From the geodetic data, no significant deformation of the volcanic building was observed.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from the Differential Absorption Spectrometry (DOAS) equipment at the Chillán station, located 2.6 km southeast of the active crater, showed an average monthly value of 164. ± 31 t / d and a maximum daily value of 831 t / d on March 23rd. S02 emissions are at low levels for this volcano, consistent with the presence of degassed magma.
A thermal warning in the zone associated with the volcanic complex with a 1 MW volcanic power (VRP), according to the data processed by mean infrared observation of volcanic activity (Mirova), on 31 March has been reported (http: //www.mirovaweb.it/).

In this context, it is possible that the development of volcanic seismicity and its characteristics as well as other monitoring parameters do not present precursor signals or that these occur only a few minutes before the destruction of the dome. In all cases, 24/7 permanent monitoring is continued with permanent aerial visual observations to monitor the growth and evolution of the dome, paying attention to any changes indicating its possible destruction and subsequent development. a major eruption.

For the above, the volcanic technical alert is maintained at:
LEVEL Orange: Probable major eruption in days or weeks

Press Release
September 15, 2020

"Philippine Digital Workforce Competitiveness Act"

By Senator Joel Villanueva

Mr. President and distinguished colleagues:

I am privileged and pleased to sponsor Senate Bill No. 1834 or the "Philippine Digital Workforce Competitiveness Act" under Committee Report No. 113.

This representation gentleman from Aurora, our seatmate, Senator Sonny Angara, are the principal author of this measure, co-authore Sen. Bong Revilla. This bill is in line with the broad vision towards Tatak Pinoy industrialization. Filipino enterprises, entrepreneurs, and professionals are empowered to move up the value chain, to produce quality goods and services, and to innovate.

We speak of the 4IR, or the fourth industrial revolution, refering to the growing utilization of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, augmented reality, robotics, the Internet of Things, and advanced wireless technologies[1] in the way we live, we work and relate with one another.

We were already having conversations, Mr. President, at TESDA about the rise of digital careers amid the 4IR back in 2010. We eventually partnered with the Animation Council of the Philippines, Game Developers Association of the Philippines, Philippine Software Industry Association, and other IT-BPO industry associations for the development of training regulations on Game Programming, Animation, and Programming using Java and Oracle Database, among others. Right after the roll-out of these training programs, we have heard success stories on how our graduates landed freelance jobs immediately.

One of them was Omar Kevin Mohammad of Paranaque City. At first, he was hesitant to take up tech-voc because he thought that TESDA courses are "jologs". After much convincing from a friend, Omar enrolled in a Visual Graphics Design course. After obtaining a National Certificate III, he began gaining clients who sought his services as web designer.

Tor Sagud of Cabanatuan City was one of our pioneer trainees in 2D Digital Animation at the Cordillera School of Digital Arts. His certified skills gave him opportunities to get local and international clients. Tor, now based in Baguio City, is working as concept artist, comic illustrator, and animator for various local and international studios.

Tor has also published the book "IGOROTAK - An Illustrated Guide" and also started his own art studio, the "Studio Sagud".

Idagdag ko lang po, dahil alam kong matutuwa si Sen. Sonny para sa kanyang isinusulong na "Tatak Pinoy". Ang kwento sa atin ni Tor, huminto muna siya sa pagtanggap ng mga animation work abroad para makapag-focus siya sa paggawa ng mga original Filipino artwork. Co-Chairman din siya ng Gripo Comics which is devoted to reviving the Pinoy Comics Industry.

I met Omar and Tor in 2014. They told me how their skills opened up doors of opportunities for them, now that we are all experiencing the raging rivers of change fueled by digitization, augmentation, automation, among others.

Last year, Schneider Electric's "Industry Internet of Things" innovations transformed its Plant in Rosario, Cavite into the Philippines' first Smart Factory. Schneider Electric believes that digital transformation throughout the industrial value chain is critical and essential to global competitiveness. This transformation provided more than 1400 employees in Cavite with training, upskilling, and reskilling opportunities to help them take on higher-value jobs[2].

The IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines also set its eyes into the future global trends of the industry. Hence, most IT-BPM companies have began to pivot to digital enabled services and higher value jobs. Their target is by the year 2022, high skill jobs are performed by 27% of their talents from only 15% in 2016. This is equivalent to additional 309,000 highly skilled workers.[3]

In fact, IT-BPM is moving up the value chain in all sectors: Contact Center and BPO, IT Services, Animation, Global In-House Centers, and Healthcare Information Management, among others.

Mr. President and distinguished colleagues:

On the foregoing context and for the following reasons, we seek approval of Senate Bill No 1834 or the "Philippine Digital Workforce Competitiveness Act":

First, to ensure the development of the country's digital workforce by equipping Filipinos with digital skills and with the 21st century skills. This will ensure that that Filipino workforce will benefit from the job opportunities provided by digital technologies (Section 4).

Our bill defines "digital workforce" as "any natural person who engages in remunerated activity through the use of digital skills and digital technology, regardless of work or employment arrangement, whether as a regular employee of a company or as a freelancer (Section 3d)".

Marami pong nawalan ng trabaho ngayong pandemya pero marami ring oportunidad dahil sa digital technology. Kailangan po nating pagtuunan ng pansin ang pagbibigay ng added labor value sa ating mga kababayan sa pamamagitan ng upgrading ng kanilang skills para makakakuha sila ng oportunidad sa mga digital careers o ma-promote kung nasa digital jobs na.

Sa pamamagitan ng panukalang batas na ito, maisasakatuparan o mahihigitan pa ng DICT ang target nitong 500,000 uneemployed Filipinos sa ating mga probinsya na maging globally-competitive digital workers sa taong 2022[4].

Second, to establish an Inter-Agency Council for Development and Competitiveness of the Philippine Digital Workforce. The council will be the primary planning, coordinating and implementing body in the promotion, development, enhancement, and competitiveness of the Philippine digital workforce (Section 5).

Third, to empower all local government units together with the Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs). LGUs will create local policies supporting and promoting the growth and development of digital technology and digital careers and innovations in their respective communities. This includes [though not limited to] providing incentives for technological innovations for agri-fishery industries and hospital care or public health services (Section 7).

Bibigyang mandato rin ng panukalang batas na ito ang ating mga PESO hindi lang para magsagawa ng mga virtual job fair, kundi para bumuo rin ng mga localized digital technology at digital skills registry sa ating mga munisipyo (Section 8).

Fourth, to enter into public-private partnerships with experts, information technology-business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) industry associations, private companies, and other stakeholders in the formulation and implementation of training, skills development, and certification programs (Section 10).

Some of the programs that we included in the proposed measure are web development, online teaching, animation, content creation, digital marketing graphic designing, 3D modelling and CAD, game development, mobile application development, virtual assistance, business intelligence and data analytics, and transcription and data entry, among others (Section 10).

We received a proposal from "Connected Women"[5], a Filipino job-matching tech start-up which offers online skills development and remote work opportunities to women. The group was awarded as champion in the e-employment category in the World Summit for Information Society (WSIS) Forum held in Geneva, Switzerland.

Connected Women has an interesting training program called AIDA, short for "Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics". They sought TESDA's accreditation to train at least 1,000 women. They equipped them with data labelling skills to take on basic data annotation tasks like image identification, categorizing, and labelling.

Halimbawa, sa picture pong ito (refer to the PPT slide), i-a-identify po ng data labeler na ito ay kotse, ito ay bahay, ito train, ito kalsada, etc.

After the training, the women beneficiaries can work as digital freelancers through the Connected Women web platform. Napakagandang pagkakataon ang programang ito para mabigyan ng digital career ang mga kababaihan.

Fifth, the designation of the third week of June as the Digital Workforce Week (Section 11). This will promote awareness on evolving jobs and skills requirements in an era of digital technology and innovations. This will help disseminate information on government assistance, trainings and certifications, and digital career and business opportunities.

Lastly, to develop support mechanisms like digital libraries, learning hubs and co-working or shared service facilities.

Mr. President and distinguished colleagues:

The failure to recognize and capitalize on the 4IR opportunities will impose considerable risks on our competitiveness as a nation. We need to pass this measure so that we can move beyond existing models of innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital growth.

We need a legal framework to promote and strengthen digital careers, to institutionalize employment standards for digital career workers, and to enhance competitiveness through access to necessary trainings, skills development, and scholarship programs.

In closing, allow me to state that while we are pushing this measure that will greatly advance the utilization of digital technology like robotics and artificial intelligence in many spheres of our lives, especially in the ways we relate, work, and earn a living, we already have set the "directional arrows" through the the "GMRC and Values Education Act". Thanks to our senate president Sotto, Sen Migs, chairman Wyn Gatchalian.

That is another good news.

We are confident that our people will not lose the values they cherish as we navigate our path through this momentous and transformational event in our history.

Maraming salamat po. God bless us all.

Bob Life With @ILoveIndique

Bob Life With @ILoveIndique

I’ve been wanting to try a bob for awhile. My hair is growing and I didn’t want to cut my hair, so I figured I would get a sew-in.

I haven’t gotten a sew in in awhile and I was super excited to do a blonde bob. I reached out to NikkiNoir and we used two bundles of Indique Hysteria Straight in color 613.

This bob is everything!!! I love the texture of the hair and my hair blends so well. I wash my leave out and use the Olaplex at-home system (see my post here) so I can preserve my hair from the straightening. My goal is to not have to restraighten my hair much so I don’t plan on sweating much.

Check out my hair!

Event Monitor

What is an event monitor?

An event monitor is a portable device used to record your heart’s electrical activity when you have symptoms. It records the same information as an electrocardiogram (ECG), but for a longer time. Most of these devices can sent the recorded information directly to your healthcare provider. This lets him or her analyze the electrical activity of your heart while you are having symptoms or shortly thereafter.

Normally, a special group of cells begin the electrical signal to start your heartbeat. These cells are in the sinoatrial (SA) node. This node is in the right atrium, the upper right chamber of the heart. The signal quickly travels down the heart’s conducting system on the way to the ventricles, the two lower chambers of the heart. As it travels, the signal triggers nearby parts of the heart to contract. This helps the heart contract in a coordinated way.

ECGs and event monitors are used to help analyze this electrical signal in the heart. These tests help diagnose a variety of abnormal heart rhythms and medical conditions. A standard ECG only records the heart signal for a few seconds, and it's not portable.

An event monitor is similar to something called a Holter monitor. This is another portable device used to analyze the heart rhythm. Holter monitors record continuously, usually for about 24 to 48 hours. An event monitor doesn't record continuously. Instead, it records only when you activate it. Some event monitors will automatically start recording if an abnormal heart rhythm is detected. Event monitors can be worn for a month or longer.

There are two main types of event monitors: symptom event monitors and memory looping monitors. When you activate a symptom event monitor it records the information from the heart’s electrical signal for a few minutes. A memory looping monitor does the same thing. However, it also records the information from a few minutes before the device was activated, so data from before, during and after the symptom will be captured.

Why might I need to use an event monitor?

Sometimes a healthcare provider may think you have an abnormal heart rhythm based on your medical history, even if your ECG looks normal. Certain abnormal heart rhythms happen infrequently and temporarily. A random ECG is unlikely to pick up your abnormal heart rhythm if this is the case. An event monitor may be a better option for you. That way, you can record your heart’s electrical activity when you are having symptoms from your abnormal rhythm. Wearing the event monitor can help determine whether you have an abnormal heart rhythm. If you do have an abnormal rhythm, the event monitor can help determine what type.

You may need to wear an event monitor if your heartbeat is abnormally fast, abnormally slow, or irregular. If you are already being treated for an abnormal heart rhythm, an event monitor may be used to see how well your treatment is working. You may need an event monitor to evaluate certain kinds of temporary symptoms, such as palpitations. You might feel that your heart is beating too hard or skipping a beat. Dizziness and fainting are other symptoms that might be signs that you need an event monitor.

What are the risks of using an event monitor?

Event monitors are completely safe. They don't cause any pain. Sometimes the sticky patches used to attach the sensors to your chest can irritate the skin. If this happens, you can ask for more sensitive electrode patches These may be less irritating on your skin.

How do I get ready to use an event monitor?

Your healthcare provider will show you how to use your event monitor. There are different types of event monitors that all work in different ways.

Cardiac memory loop monitors have sensors that attach to your chest using sticky patches. Wires connect these sensors to a monitor, which you can usually put on your belt or in your pocket. Before you put your sensors on your chest, your skin should be free of oils, creams, and sweat. Clean your skin before putting them on. You may need to shave the area before applying. A technician will show you how to place the electrodes.

Cardiac event recorders may not have sensors that attach to your chest, such as post-event recorders. Some models are handheld. Others attach to your wrist. For some of these models, you need to push the button on your wrist when you feel symptoms. In other models, you need to hold the recorder up to your chest to record.

What happens while using an event monitor?

In general:

  • If you have a cardiac loop monitor, change your sensors as instructed.

  • When you have a symptom, push the button to start recording. (Some start recording automatically when an abnormal rhythm is detected.)

  • After you do this, stop moving. This will help the device get a good recording. The device should record for several minutes.

  • For some event monitors, you will need to send your recordings over the phone or the internet to your healthcare provider.

  • Someone will review your recording. In some cases, you may need to go see your healthcare provider.

  • Follow all instructions about exercise. Sweat can make the sensors come off.

  • If you can, avoid items that can disrupt the event monitor. These include magnets, metal detectors, microwave ovens, electric blankets, electric razors, electric toothbrushes, cell phones, and iPods. You will receive specific instruction at the time the monitor is placed.

  • When you need to use an electronic device, keep it at least 6 inches away from the monitor.

You will also need to keep a diary while using your event monitor. Record any symptoms when they happened, and note what you were doing at the time. You may need to wear your event monitor for several days or up to a month.

What happens after using an event monitor?

Ask your doctor about what to expect after you use an event monitor.

After a few readings, you may be able to stop wearing your event monitor. Your healthcare provider may use those readings to start your treatment. In some cases, you may need more testing. Follow-up tests might include:

  • Exercise stress test, to see how the heart responds to exercise

  • Tilt-table test, if you have had fainting

  • Electrophysiological testing, to get more information about the heart’s electrical signal

  • Echocardiogram, evaluate the structure and pumping function of the heart

  • Implantable loop recorder, if your symptoms are infrequent and were not reproduced or captured by the event monitor

Next steps

Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

  • The name of the test or procedure

  • The reason you are having the test or procedure

  • What results to expect and what they mean

  • The risks and benefits of the test or procedure

  • What the possible side effects or complications are

  • When and where you are to have the test or procedure

  • Who will do the test or procedure and what that person’s qualifications are

  • What would  happen if you did not have the test or procedure

  • Any alternative tests or procedures to think about

  • When and how you will get the results

  • Who to call after the test or procedure if you have questions or problems

  • How much you will have to pay for the test or procedure

[FPSPACE] Ryumin interview -- Russia's Space Program: A Dance Run by "Successful Managers" and Bankers

JAMES E OBERG jameseoberg at comcast.net
Mon Dec 3 14:00:11 EST 2018

Russia's Space Program: A Dance Run by "Successful Managers" and Bankers
Pravda interviews former Soyuz and Salyut cosmonaut Valeriy Ryumin, who also flew on Shuttle Discovery (STS-91) about the state of the Russian space program. That such a critical interview would be published in Pravda, usually fawning in its praise of the current regime, is interesting.
Translator: R. Mitchell, reprinted with permission
Russia's Space Program: A Dance Run by "Successful Managers" and Bankers
Why has our space program come to such a pathetic state in recent times? Because the leaders of our space projects including building rockets and spacecraft are not space specialists, but “successful managers” or journalists and bankers. They make announcements about exploring Mars, but we don’t have the means to fly even to the Moon. Cosmonaut, Engineer, and Rocket builder Valery Ryumin talks about this and much more on the Point of View program.
Q: What does the future of our space program look like? Is there a real program to fly, for instance, to the Moon?
A: On what money?
Q: We’ve all seen the major announcement by your leader (Rogozin) who said that in 2026 we will be flying to the Moon. Is he just blowing smoke?
A: That’s the real pity. In recent years the leaders are blowing more smoke than doing anything substantive. [Energia President General Nikolai] Sevastyanov was more or less a real leader, but he lasted only two years. Then [Roscosmos Director Anatoly Nikolaevich] Perminov came along, and his view of the present and future were completely different.
At least he knew something about our systems. He lasted 5-6 years, but also had to be removed. They opened a criminal investigation. The next to come in was [RKK Energia Director General Vladimir] Solntsev. More like he was led in – I don’t even know where they got him. From some bank. How can some banker run a rocket company?
Now Sergei Romanov has been named acting General Director and Chief Constructor at RKK Energia, but only temporarily for now. We ask, “How is it he’s just temporarily filling in? When will you present a financial plan to revitalize the company?”
As you can imagine, it’s just paper. Some oversight committee has to make the most important decisions. What kind of committee it is, where it came from, what authority it has, what its responsibilities are – no one knows, nothing is written down about it in any case.
Q: But you’re not the young guys over there. You and other experienced people were always deputies, leaders, strategy makers.
A: No one has been listening to us for a long time. When Rogozin appeared on our horizon I could meet with him only through mutual acquaintances. I got to see him and said, “Dmitriy Olegovich, you don’t understand what we’re doing here. Why don’t you let me put together a group of responsible people who have retired?”
Q: …But who know their business well?
A: Yes. “A council of elders. [Yuri Pavlovich] Semyonov, [Boris Ivanovich] Katorgin, [Dmitriy Alexandrovich] Shishkin, [Oleg Dimitrievich] Baklanov are all free. We are ready to help you.”
He listened and talked. “Of course, that’s good. Let’s do it – I’ll put it together right away.” Later he delegated the task to [Vladimir] Popovkin.
Popovkin got us together one time and listened… and that was all. Rogozin is the head of the space program, but he’s not a space specialist, but a journalist. He may be talented and a pretty good organizer, but in order to survive in this business you need to know the history and have real experience. It takes a lot of time.
Q: Besides history you need goals.
A: Goals – yes. It’s absolutely necessary to have real goals.
Q: So what goals can our space program have now? The Americans and the Europeans, judging by what they are doing and testing, will have a new generation spacecraft by 2022. What will we have?
A: Yes, they’re building a new ship. We have been promising Federation and we’ll build it, but it won’t be ready by 2021-22 – even though we’ve already been working on it for ten years.
Q: Even if we build Federation, it won’t be a quality ship, much less up to date technologically. What the Americans and Europeans are doing, in my view, is a fundamental qualitative breakthrough, which will allow flights to Low Earth Orbit and to the Moon, possibly to build a base there. They will have a ship and a system able to perform the primary and almost any current missions.
A: Even if we build Federation, we don’t have any way to launch it into space. There’s no booster for it, and no money to build it. There are only decisions that we need to build a ship and a new booster. But there’s nothing else besides words. We’ve been given a task but no means to fulfill it.
And even the Chief Constructor, who built boosters, [Igor Sergeevich] Radugin who was fired recently because he was pulling out all the plugs. When they started pestering him about what was wrong, he ended up resigning. From then to now there’s no new Chief Constructor, and until we have one, things will not move forward.
Q: It’s important that a leader would have appropriate authority, resources, and opportunities…
A: Of course! The Americans and we have the next big goal – Mars. Before Mars, the Moon. That’s why the Americans are actively heading for the Moon. We also talk about it, but how are we going to explore? No one knows. Because we don’t have ships, we don’t have boosters that can do it. We had Energia, a great booster, but it was buried. Can we make another like it? I don’t know.

Why Does Pulmonary Heart Disease Always Entangle Aged People

Apr 10, 2020

· Pulmonary heart disease is a chronic disease which is often overlooked by patients in the early stage, and this disease is more common in the aged people. Many aged people are always niggard with the money and they usually buy medicines from pharmacies without doctor’s prescription .Once the disease progresses to a later stage,it can be very dangerous and even life-threatening.So for the patients, especially aged patients, must do a good job in the prevention of pulmonary heart disease.

· The main reason for the onset of pulmonary heart disease is that chronic bronchitis, emphysema and other diseases are not treated in a timely manner. This can easily increase the blood pressure of the heart and pulmonary arteries of the patient, which causes pulmonary heart disease and brings serious impact on patients’ life. So,what’s the reason that the elderly suffer from the pulmonary heart disease ?

(1) Chronic bronchitis and obstructive emphysema.

(2) Bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis.

(3) Fibrotic changes in lung tissue with or without emphysema, such as tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, lung abscess, radiation sickness and so on.

(4) Pulmonary granulomas and extensive fibrosis, such as sarcoidosis, chronic diffuse interstitial fibrosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and malignant tumors.

(5) Chest movement disorders. Such as severe spinal deformity, spinal tuberculosis, extensive pleural adhesions, rheumatoid arthritis, and neuromuscular disorders and polio. These diseases can cause restricted thorax movement, compressed lungs, bronchi, twisted sputum, repeated infections of the lungs, atelectasis, emphysema, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, caused pulmonary hypertension, and right ventricular hypertrophy. , And then developed into pulmonary heart disease.

6) Pulmonary vascular disease. Extensive or recurrent multiple pulmonary arterial embolism and nodular pulmonary arteritis, allergic granulomatous disease involving the pulmonary arteries, and pulmonary arterial inflammation caused by other causes can all cause pulmonary arterial stenosis and obstruction and cause pulmonary hypertension and The right ventricular load increases, which in turn develops into pulmonary heart disease.

The aged people’s constitution are weaker, so they cannot ignore their own health problems. Many illnesses come to them when they are inadvertently. Be sure to seek medical treatment in time and follow the doctor's advise to treat them. So, besides physical therapy, what should we do in our daily life?

1. Life conditioning

Acute attacks of pulmonary heart disease are mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infections. Therefore, patients with pulmonary heart disease or chronic bronchitis should be strictly protected against upper respiratory infections. At the same time, pay attention to keep warm against the cold, people with pulmonary heart disease are more likely to have a cold, so pay attention to the increase and decrease of clothing following climate changes. People with pulmonary heart disease try to avoid to go to public places or shorten their outdoor time during the flu season.

2. Keep exercising

Pulmonary heart disease patients should do more exercise in their daily life, and go to the fresh air environment for breathing exercises to increase their lung capacity and enhance their immunity. For example, walking in the morning, playing Tai Chi, doing deep breathing exercises, etc. However, when patients with pulmonary heart disease doing exercises, they should pay attention to act according to one’s ability , avoid overwork.

3. Psychological conditioning

Emotional changes can aggravate the condition of patients with pulmonary heart disease, and patients with pulmonary heart disease must maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. Pulmonary heart disease patients are generally weak, especially the elderly, have poor mobility, and prolonged bed riding is more likely to produce depression and low self-esteem, and feel that they are a burden of the family. When they encounter bad things, or if the family's care does not meet their expectations,they will easily to give up and lose confidence . Therefore, as family members of patients, we must do a good job of psychological counseling for patients, try our best to meet their requirements, and guide them to actively and optimistically cooperate with doctors for treatment. At the same time, accompany the patient more, let them feel the warmth of the home, give them more support and encouragement.

4. Diet conditioning

Pulmonary heart disease patients' diet should be based on light vegetarian diet. Traditional Chinese medicine has always advocated vegetarian health, and people often say "fish fires, meat sputum, vegetables and radishes keep peace." Many of the secrets of longevity in the world today are mostly vegetarian. Pulmonary heart disease patients have poor physical strength, less activity, and are prone to constipation. Due to digestive dysfunction, carnivorous food is difficult to digest. Therefore, they should eat more nutritious and digestible foods such as vegetables and fruits.

5. Scientific oxygen absorption

Pulmonary heart disease patients due to long-term existence of gas ventilation and ventilation dysfunction, they usually have low blood oxygen saturation,so they can be given oxygen therapy constantly, with low-flow oxygen, it is best to take intermittent oxygen method, ventilator with oxygen machine can get a better efficacy.

Not only pulmonary heart disease patients, we should also eat more vegetables and fruits in our daily life. light diet at ordinary time, and maintain a good habit in our life, which is good for the body. Usually, we must establish a healthy diet and actively prevent the occurrence of diseases. Pulmonary heart disease patients should be follow the guidance of the doctors to do a good job in diet nursing,receive regular treatment so as to speed recovery.

How To Search Out Your LuLaRoe Unicorn – Don’t Believe The Hype

The tandem of a broken tile roofing and moisture is effectively-acquired by termites that they really use this as their gateway to your property. I think if you have damaged tile roofing – even with out moisture outdoors – your attic can be a nesting place of swarms of mites. Yet to really enter the game and be aggressive the participant will discover it is simpler to pay for membership. Game websites reach almost half of the Internet universe. Assess odds: You will find many sites on-line that make it possible for you assess odds on all types of bets from all manor of betting occasions. All one has to do is to visit the sites of the various teams, undergo their historical past and make a decision on how to place the bet. Do rajabakarat have got a USP that may make a great headline? That headline labored nice for Domino’s, could a similar headline work for you?

Also, your cupboard is the spot that is at great danger of being devoured by termites. Yes, termites cannot eat your automobile, but what is stored in your storage is perhaps the thing they’re up to. With piles of boxes crammed with dusty stuff, moisture could be a straightforward factor. But not too long ago, on an individual of people really laid-once more kind of days, we had been in the middle of a halo tournament when my greatest close friend pointed out that he has been use one thing recognized as Video game Duplicate Wizard to make flawless backups of all of his recreation titles now. Sometimes you can use a assure successfully in your headline. In case your headline does not produce results, trash it and use one other. 5. Try to use display shots of the game, as a substitute of just links. The individual gets to use my course to build their listing so they’re smiling. Also, attics have wooden beams and are closer to the roof. But for it to happen, it’s important to practice preservation measures that embody a regular termite inspection. If you happen to had finally set your self free from their infestation or planning ahead not to be in such a spot, a termite inspection will likely be the first transfer to guard your own home.

Usually allocate a set quantity which you pays for to danger, and on no account at any time borrow money to function your horse betting racing program. If you’re going to spend time and power in marketing a product be sure that it leads to YOUR List and IT HAS YOUR Info inside no less than. This a part of the home is normally the one which is completely not noted for a very long time. A part of the termite inspection is checking if your roof has too much moisture or if there is a crack in case you’ve a tiled roof. If you have a picket flooring, it is better than you will have a ‘termite barrier’ installed beneath after a termite inspection so the wooden is just not lying flat near the soil. Also, it is better to do away with the vines that crawl in your house as a result of it could be a path for the termites. Unfortunately I used to be careless sufficient that once i emailed the hyperlinks to myself I didn’t get everyone’s names so if one is yours please let me know asap so I can correctly attribute. What you have to do is to remove these stumps and do not let picket possession of yours to have contact with the ground.

I’d counsel that you get it restructured and remove other picket possessions from contact with the soil. So far as the true-time technique style goes, I’ve by no means been more impressed with a recreation than I’m with StarCraft 2. Get your hands on the most effective modern day RTS sport that takes place in our very own galaxy. We’re gradually changing into the most effective football prediction site free. 2Game acts as an authorised digital retailer dealing straight in activation codes that are despatched to users by electronic mail instantly. Users may also purchase a premium membership to gain much more options. Before even approaching such a big retailer, you have to do your homework.

It is because bingo jackpots are our greatest motivations to play the sport, and need to win it retains us going. You run into motion, buy your bingo cards and watch the balls drop.

If you will ask me about what a part of the house is termites’ paradise, then it is your individual lovely garden. It’s not that they love your roses, trimmings, and all, but it is as a result of the garden has all the things they need to propagate. It offers you your players utilizing a visible insight via various tinted treasures which need to get aimed in a really vogue in ways that almost all equal shaded jewels add up paying off the way in which wherein with regard to different jewels. What you should do is to get it a restore and dehumidify it. If that’s the case, check placing a guarantee in your headline and see what kind of response you get. They’ll nonetheless get a superb bounce each so usually but I don’t discover them that horrifying now, especially with all the opposite games on the market. That is solely a response to those that may say, “If psilocybin is so good for quitting smoking, why haven’t the millions of smokers who’ve tried it recreationally not give up smoking?

Sarah Peebles: Electronic Bug Culture

This was originally published in the May 2003 issue of The Wire. (To read more of my journalism, click here.)

“I really enjoy the sound of hummingbirds,” says Toronto-based composer Sarah Peebles. “In New Mexico there are a lot of them and I recorded them. That sound is really interesting and when you cut it up and slow it down, to me there’s a transformation that occurs, especially since I have a memory of when they were flying by.” On her recently re-released CD Insect Groove, Peebles has opened up an astonishing sound-space in which natural and synthesized elements co-exist, in such a way that they become indistinguishable from each other. The Japanese reed mouth organ, the shô, played by Peebles and Ko Ishikawa, sounds like a droning just intonation tuned synthesizer, while Peebles’ real time software based sampling and programming transforms recordings of night-time insects, gongs, or railways into warm, bubbling pools of sound. This is a music that does not wear the listener out through relentless repetition, the way so much electronica does, nor does it have the sometimes saccharine serenity of ambient music. It is intense, slow, focused, neither natural nor unnatural, full of delicious singularities – another kind of fourth world music. Peebles grew up in Minnesota, and studied music at the University of Michigan, where she began broadcasting the ongoing radio show The Audible Woman, devoted to showcasing what she calls the “kick-ass activity” of women in classical and experimental music. In 1985, she made her first trip to Japan, where she lived on and off until 1993, and made a multi-year study of gagaku, the hypnotic Japanese court music beloved of La Monte Young et al, and kagura bayashi, a form of masked dance drama performed at Shinto festivals. Her work from this period, collected on Suspended in Amber (Nova, 1996), mixes traditional Japanese instrumentation and forms with electronics. The remarkable “Tomoé” recorded live in a Shinto temple, is at once a site specific electro-acoustic recording, a “traditional” ritual using temple bells and the space of the temple’s hall and garden, a performance piece featuring calligraphy and light, and a sound-work using field recordings of insects and water from Toronto alongside the sound of the shô. Peebles, who relocated to Toronto in 1990, recently composed 108 – Walking Through Tokyo At The Turn of the Century, a fifty minute edited set of street recordings made in Tokyo which continues her interest in Japanese sound culture and environmental recordings. “If you ask a Tokyoite to shut their eyes and give them a tour around town, they’ll tell you where they are without opening their eyes. There’s a consciousness of sound that goes with their culture that’s different to mine,” she observes. “Take bugs, for example. I noticed a real affection for insects, even in the inner city. There’s a history of bug collecting. And now there’s an electronic bug culture of toys too. It extends to seasonal appreciation too. When you’re going to send a card or a present, you think in terms of seasons. I know other cultures do that, but that was my first exposure to that. Sound goes with occasions. Occasions demand sound. The ringing in of the new year, the buying of a ticket, restaurant greetings and farewells. The doors in the subway: there’s a song for each subway station! And the fact is it occurred to them to do that, while in Toronto, all you get is the same boring voice for each station!” Peebles’ current work involves the possibility of creating music made to accompany natural visual phenomena. She describes a work in progress called “Music for Incandescent Events” that can accompany “light events”, such as sunsets, the northern lights – and live volcanoes. “ I just took a trip to an active volcano in Hawaii, and you can watch lava flowing, but it changes hour by hour, so it would be hard to put the music in a place where its not going to get covered by the active volcano. Unless you put it on headphones. But volcanoes are so profound you wouldn’t really want to add any sonic event to them. We saw a very slow quiet molten oozing lava – and loud tourists! I asked someone to shut up so that I could hear the sound, a really delicate sound, of the crust that begins to form on the hot stuff as its moving – it flakes off the surface from the heat – little metallic sounds. Very delicate.” Still on the look out for some grand statement about nature, the environment and sound ecology, that might explain the way Peebles uses field recordings as raw materials for her Max programming and live, in situ manipulation of samples, I ask her “is all sound just sound then?” “No!” Peebles replies, sounding genuinely surprised. “There’s emotions associated with sound. And memory. Most of the sounds I use I’ve recorded, and I have visceral memories of the sound, the day I recorded it, what the day was like and what I was feeling like. Sound has the capacity to evoke visceral memories.” If there’s a key to Peebles’ work, it’s her ability to place things in relationships with each other: whether they be instruments, sounds, people or media. Most of Peebles’ work is in some sense collaborative, whether it be her work with the excellent Sri Lankan born Canadian mutant Hendrix drone guitarist Nilan Perera as power-duo Smash and Teeny (touring the UK this month), or Cinnamon Sphere, featuring Perera and Korean-Canadian calligrapher Chung Gong Ha, or her recent work with Canadian live video performance duo _badpacket_ , or Cream Test Centrifuge, her collaboration with The Wire’s David Toop, Perera and Canadian composer Darren Copeland. Peebles’ work celebrates the possible relationships between things, wherever they’re from. “I like to watch the stars, I like to listen to insects in the summertime, and I like to sit and watch the clouds. I like to play music. I like to think up music – I guess we call that composing! It’s just an exploration. It’s an exploration to get together with a dancer, to see where that goes. And it’s an exploration to get together with a sunset, to see where that goes too.” Insect Groove has been reissued on Cycling 74; 108-Walking Through Tokyo is out on Post-Concrète; Smash and Teeny will be performing live in the UK in May.

Wherever the U.S. is starting a fire, the Canadian government wants to be pouring gasoline on it. Everybody falls in line without a word of caution. There are a number of demands we need to make, including for the release of Meng Wanzhou. She is not only a Chinese businesswoman, but also someone who is involved in Canadian economic development. Meng Wanzhou has been detained in Canada to please the Trump administration. Although the U.S. has complained repeatedly about China's successful COVID-19 response, it is undeniable that there is much to be learned from the array of strategies China employed. The way we have treated China is evidence of Western parochialism: why don't we invite them to share their experiences? They do all over the world. Instead, we accuse China of stealing COVID-19 science, when we haven't demonstrated any science to steal. Phil Taylor and Tony Leah discuss this issue and more, including India's Kerala province's standout performance, and the Globe and Mail's pathetic coverage of China's politics. Nathan Vanderklippe argues that China is expunging Western thought. They might want to ask themselves if that rejection also includes the Western-originated universal system of Marxist socialism.

He Sees Me So Clearly

September 5, 2010 @ 7:14 am | Filed under: ,

Me: Can you believe how scratched up my glasses are? It’s like looking through a screen door.

Him: Well, you’ve had them forever. You should get new ones.

Me: Nah. I don’t wear them enough to justify the expense.

Him: But you wear them every night after you take your contacts out!

Me: Yeah, but not for very long. You know. There are things I’ll spend money on, and things I won’t.

Him: Ah yes. Glasses don’t plug in.

    I am so much the same! I have had the glasses I wear for 10 years. I normally wear contacts, but in the evenings I find that my eyes are dry, and I want to take them out. I wear one toric lens for astigmatism, and one bi focal lens. My glasses are single vision, so I find myself putting my glasses on to view the TV or computer screen, and taking them off to read everything else. It is terribly inconvenient, but not as inconvenient as a trip to the optometrist!

Cultural liaison during Donald Trump's Irish visit

Minister for Culture, Heritage & the Gaeltacht, Josepha Madigan TD has asked me to help with "Cultural liaison" during his Excellency President DonaldTrump's upcoming visit to Ireland.

Specifically, Josepha has asked me to access "two retired adult film stars" to attend a special event at Club Lapello on Dame Street "to attend to the needs of the President, his entourage, and some of the Irish government ministers who will be in attendance."
At the same event my poem 'I Am Pleased To Congratulate On Behalf Of The People Of Ireland' will be read aloud over a big microphone by former Taoiseach Enda Kenny. You can get a preview of the evening's activities here. I  am open to suggestions as to what other cultural events should be included in the evening's programme, as I know is Josepha.

Video of Ken Loach reading from one of my poems

Video of Ken Loach - director of Kes, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, & I, Daniel Blake - reading from one of my poems at a meeting at Conway Hall in London on Monday, January 29th.

The full poem can be read here 'What Did The Politician Get His Wife?'

The poem is a rewrite of Brecht's 'The Soldier's Wife' which is sung by PJ Harvey here.
From now on, I plan to dress the way P.J. Harvey does in this video while reading this particular poem.

For the background on the political controversy regarding this and some other poems see here.

In the running for the Nobel Prize

It's only January 1st and someone has already suggested me as a possible winner of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature. Albeit the person in question thinks I should be awarded the prize jointly with British poet Ian Duhig. I've always fancied a trip to Stockholm. Have to say, I am liking 2018 so far.

Telegram Open Source Pitfalls

There is nothing wrong with Telegram. The messenger is great with so many great features to benefit from. It is free, fast and distributed letting users keep in touch with other people from any place in the world. On the other hand, they keep telling that the messenger is actually an open source, which some experienced developers may find confusing. Let us look into the code to clarify the situation.

The question arises more and more often today as some try to develop the messenger not knowing how it will affect the operation in future. Developing is possible but no recommended though. Telegram appears to have no open source code. App development enthusiasts will hardly be able to use those codes as an example for their own messaging applications. The reasons are very clear.

Telegram Open Source Pitfalls

Reason 1: Developers are unable using Telegram API for their own applications

Telegram API was hardly designed to let independent developers come with their own messengers. Whenever you want to use it for your own product, you are obliged to create your Telegram account and register a new application right here inside the service. The procedure is rather easy and fast though. After you indicate all necessary data including your telephone number, the password will be sent directly. Use it to enter your account and go to the official website to put your app into the register. You should note that all data is linked to your telephone number as well as messages you have sent in Telegram before.

In other words, you are not allowed working with any other data as well as use separate server for it. You are free to use Telegram data only, which certainly limits your options and abilities when creating a new messaging app. Telegram API also cannot be used separately from any other databases. Summing up, a developer can only develop a messenger that will be 100% linked to telegram without the slightest chance for independent operation. On the other hand, we have numerous examples of other award-winning messaging apps that operate using open APIs. For instance, TweetCaster operates on the same basis.

If it’s OK for developer to store all the data in Telegram, using Telegram API is hardly a bad idea. However, some other issues will barely make you happy about the messenger.

Reason 2: You cannot reuse the source code

Telegram app does not use a library or SDK. Using the source code will turn into nothing more but a waste of time. At least, the development process will appear to be much longer. The code consists mainly of hardcode instead of constants. You can observe such structure not only in the system but also in the application. Check with the list of other confusing code issues fund in the app:

Issue 1 – Unidentified code pieces

You should never be surprised whenever you come across setTextColor(0xff757575) or any other strange code pieces. It is a common thing for Telegram. It means that any changes can lead to inevitable consequences and a developer must be very precise and accurate when making those changes in the source code. Let’s say, you need to change the color. You will probably use color.xml in any location in order to change color in the entire code. However, Telegram is not an easy thing to work with. Here you can change color in particular place only. Moreover, you can spend hours searching for that location i9n the code. Which is certainly a drawback when it comes to optimizing the time and development process in general.

Issue 2 – “If-Else” Statements

They are very, very, very long featuring even longer methods! Imagine a developer, who writes are 300-line code for only one method. Some of them were certainly amateurs.

Issue 3 – Spaghetti code

You can hardly think of more useless and inefficient code that Spaghetti code. Unpredictable performance is its main problem. Moreover, you are very unlikely to read it no matter how experienced you are. It is nothing more but a mess.

These are only some issues that developers may find confusing when using Telegram source code.

Telegram Open Source Pitfalls

Reason 3: Every Telegram licensed apps must go to GitHub

Publishing a source code is an obligatory part of developing an application based on Telegram. Developers can find this point in the messenger’s license. Of course, this may hardly make you happy. No developer wants to share his code with others.

Summing up all those reasons, Telegram appears to be a bad idea for developing an independent app. You will not have a chance to benefit from a library or SDK code as well as uncustomary elements. Any similar project based on Telegram source code will hardly be a success. Moreover, it will take you much time to complete your project.

Auxiliary Tree

There’s pretty much never a good reason to not at least spec in that first node for an extra consumable, but after that there are all sorts of paths you can take down the Auxiliary Tree.

This is the most irregular Skill Tree, and so our method we’ve been using for most of them won’t work here at all. Instead, I’ve put together some example paths that I might use for specific sorts of mechs; these aren’t the only options you should consider when running that sort, and you may want to drop or add a node or two from these examples. It’s just a starting point.

Waste Not: Part 5 of the 7 Challenge

7: An Experimental Mutiny Against ExcessLast month I was supposed to be working on the Waste part of the 7 challenge. When I began thinking about this part of the challenge, I thought I was already doing pretty well on that front. I have a family of four and we fill up our recycling cart at the same rate if not faster than our trash cart. Usually, our trash cart is only half full on the day the trash is picked up. I am guilty of looking at neighbors’ trash cans on trash pick up day and thinking, “Wow. They are Wasters.” Needless to say, there was a high horse to fall off there.

And fall off I did. Because, while I do recycle absolutely everything I possibly can, the point remains that if I have something to recycle, that means I’m buying something that’s prepackaged. Deli meats, canned spaghetti sauce, boxes of noodles, yogurt cups, all that stuff comes in recyclable packages. And some things I consider to be necessary are packaged and aren’t recyclable. I mean, when I think about all the Styrofoam egg cartons…but how do you get around that? Aldi only sells one kind of egg!

I guess it all comes down to how much trouble I’m willing to go to in my attempts to reduce waste. I think I kind of phoned it in on this part of the challenge. And that is unacceptable. So I’m doing a re-do in March. Here are the more specific goals for the month:

-Start (and, please Lord, finish!) potty training Isaac in the second half of the month. He’ll be 3 in June and with another baby due in July, now seems like it’s time. My “method” relies heavily on not wearing a whole lot of clothing for the first few days of potty training, which is why I think this should take place in the warmer part of  the month. I greet this part of the challenge with a great deal of trepidation–potty training my firstborn took about a year, and I am not exaggerating.

-At least try to get Ella out of nighttime Pull-ups. I’ve heard some parents have success with waking young children up and taking them to the bathroom before the parents go to bed. I’m just not sure about this one. One problem is I go to bed about an hour to an hour and a half after my children. Is that enough time? Another problem is I abhor the drama that always follows when my poor little four-year-old is incoherently sleepy. To willingly bring that upon both of us is going to take some girding up of mental toughness. If anyone else has experience with methods for getting rid of Pull-ups at night, please share. I’d really prefer not waking her up because I think she barely gets enough sleep as it is.

-Sew a couple of handkerchiefs for myself. Yes, I just used the word “handkerchief.” And the word “sew.” I hate, hate, hate buying Kleenexes. Which is why my husband is always asking in a very nice but what I hear as accusing tone, “Don’t we have any Kleenex?” I just don’t think to buy them, and when I do remember, I say, “We don’t really need those.” But my husband and my kids really enjoy a soft nose wipe for the winter months. And the allergy ridden spring months. And probably all the months in between. I could care less, I’ll use a brown paper bag, but I do grab a Kleenex if they’re handy. I’d rather use something that’s reusable, though. So, hello, old fashioned-ness. (I have the same goal for nursing liners, but I won’t go into great detail there. Details about Kleenex usage are quite enough for one day).

-Reduce our dependence on boxed cereal. There are lots of reasons this is a good idea, one of them being most cereal doesn’t keep my kids full past 8:00 a.m. Another reason is a lot of those colorful boxes pose major recycling problems. Another reason is it’s mostly gross and we throw out half of the box. Is there a drawback? Oh yeah, cooking and washing dishes before 8:00 in the morning. Dear friends, bring on the easy breakfast ideas.

Those are the goals. I could think of more, but my children are pretending to be firefighters and I probably should go put a stop to their throwing open the front door and yelling “Fire, fire, EMERGENCY!” for the whole neighborhood to hear. Because a false 911 call is even more wasteful than a Styrofoam egg carton.

    We do a lot of cereal… mostly because I buy it cheap with coupons/sales… but one of my favorite breakfasts is to mix up my granny’s Swedish bran muffin recipe one evening… the batter keeps for 2 weeks in the refrigerator so I can bake a dozen at a time… or more. I often just reheat the leftovers for the next morning. And add a banana. They are super filling and the kids love them.

  2. Brittany L says:

    I love doing those baked oatmeal in muffin tin “muffins”, they’re really good and easy to personalize. The best part is you can freeze them and take them out as needed. And good luck on the potty training!

    1. MiaTheReader says:

      Good idea, Brittany! I sure hope that recipe is on your Pinterest board because I’m going to look for it right now.

ComCast is not ComCastic. On its best day, it’s ComAcceptible. Today, alas, for the fourth day since moving into my new apartment 16 days ago, I’ve been saddled with non-working service. This time, digital phone service that has quit working quite inexplicably.

Previously over the last two weeks, the cable has been deleted from their system twice, the internet once, and now the digital phone service.

When it was TimeWarner, at least they had a guarantee. If they disconnected your service by mistake, free month.

Why is it an incompetent company like this is allowed to exist?

As you can see, I’ve uploaded a new blog, opting to go with WordPress. It just works.

Talk to you guys soon — probably following the election. The site’s still coming along. (As you can see, I redid that too.)

Grosjean: ‘Most important thing is I’m okay’

Romain Grosjean mid-crash at the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix.

Romain Grosjean said he was lucky to escape serious injury after his car suffered a serious tyre failure when it ran over a loose drain cover.

Grosjean’s Haas drove over the offending grill on the inside kerb at turn 13, which punctured his front-right tyre but completely destroyed the rubber on the left-rear corner, pitching the car into a spin and eventually into the barriers.

The size of the hit was large enough to require a precautionary visit to the medical centre, but the Frenchman was found to be fine — more than could be said about his car.

“We are lucky that I’m good,” he said. “There’s a lot of damage on the car.

“It was a pretty big hit — I think I got 17Gs in the barrier. It’s never nice to have, but those cars are very strong since all the safety has been made.

“The worst right now is just to see the guys having to work twice as hard to get the car back in one piece and the fact it was a new floor and we don’t have it new anymore, we don’t have thousands of them and they’re broken.”

Drain covers breaking free from the track, though not unheard of, are rare. The FIA and circuit operators are careful to reduce the likelihood of a grill breaking free because of the immense danger it presents to drivers.

Grosjean said he spoke to FIA race director and safety delegate Charlie Whiting after the crash, and he said he was satisfied the issue would be rectified by Saturday.

“It is a concern, but I know the FIA are going to go through and make sure that everything is in place for tomorrow,” he said. “I have no doubt that they will do that well and we can go racing and racing hard.

“[Charlie] said some things just aren’t strong enough — they’re getting old, and they didn’t see it because of the paint — so they apologised, which is good, and I know that tomorrow they are going to sort everything out so we can go racing.

“We know it’s not great and it shouldn’t happen … but I think now we can focus on the reaction and how we make sure that it doesn’t happen again.”

Regardless of the crash, Grosjean said he and his Haas team is in poor shape for the remainder of the weekend.

“I think in performance on the lap times we’re not looking good,” he said. “In the morning we know what went wrong on the wets, so that should be sorted.

“In the afternoon we were pretty competitive on the soft and didn’t get any lap times on the supersoft — we went actually slower.

“We need to understand that and get some more setup for tomorrow and get up there.”
