The Relationship between Height and Body Weight and Penile Size in University Students

  • 1Department of Urology, Chosun University, Kwangju, Korea.
  • 2Department of Urology, Haenam General Hospital, Haenam, Korea.

PURPOSE: Is there any relationship between penile size and physical stature? This study was performed to answer this question and provide guidelines of penile size to assist in counseling patients for penile augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Penile size, body weight and height were measured in 150 young healthy men, and the body mass index(BMI) was calculated in weight(kg)/height(m)2. The penile length and circumference were measured with tape in flaccid and erect states. The 'lengthening ratio' was calculated by 'erect length/flaccid length', and 'tumescent ratio' was calculated by 'erect circumference/flaccid circumference'. All the data was statistically evaluated and the following results were obtained. Result : The average length and circumference were 8.26+/-1.07cm and 8.34+/-1.03cm respectively in the flaccid state, and 13.42+/-1.38cm and 11.17+/-1.05cm in the erect state. The average lengthening and tumescent ratios were 1.64+/-0.22 and 1.35+/-0.08, and were negatively correlated to the flaccid penile length and circumference. Height was positively correlated to erect penile length and lengthening ratio. There was a relationship between body weight and erect penile length in a positive direction, but with other penile parameters there were none. There was no relationship between BMI and any parameters of penile size. However, the erect penile length of the normal BMI group was longer than that of the lower BMI group.
The results show that the flaccid penile size is related to the erect penile size and there is some relation between penile size and physical stature. We believe these results will be applicable to the penile augmentation.

EPE/EJ3420 Seminar 5: PhD 30 % seminar on ‘A Robust Optimization Method for Hydropower Planning and Operation’

Time: Wed 2020-10-28 13.30 - 14.30

Lecturer: Abolfazl Khodadadi, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Title: PhD 30 % seminar on ‘A Robust Optimization Method for Hydropower Planning and Operation’

Sweden and many other countries are moving towards an electricity system with a large proportion of solar and wind power. These types of power have a varying production and production must be continuously balanced. The balancing takes place in Sweden and the Nordic region, preferably with hydropower, but it is not always in the same area as the variation caused by wind power and electricity consumption. A challenge in this context is how the market should be designed in detail and how the owners of the hydropower plants will run their works.

In this seminar, the optimal planning and operation of the hydropower plants owners in the case of uncertain price, balancing market active time and wind power forecasts are investigated. The approach toward this problem is the application of stochastic adaptive robust optimization (SARO) in the main formulation. The results show the applicability of the proposed framework to account for the uncertainties in the system.

He received the B.Sc. degree in Electric Power Engineering from the Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, Iran, and the M.Sc. degree (First Rank) in Power System Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2014 and 2017, respectively. As of April 2019, he is with the division of electric power and energy systems (EPE) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, where he works towards the Ph.D. degree.
His current research interests include hydropower generation scheduling, stochastic planning of hydropower production and analysis of various electricity market structures. Besides, he has prior practical and theoretical expertise in power system dynamics, control and parameter estimation of hydro, thermal and combined-cycle power plants.

Number of children traveling alone at border eases in April

Border Report

Unaccompanied migrant children are loaded onto a DHS bus on April 6, 2021, after being apprehended in La Joya, Texas, a mile north of the Rio Grande. They will be put into the care of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. (Border Report photo/Sandra Sanchez)

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The number of unaccompanied children encountered on the U.S. border with Mexico in April eased from an all-time high a month earlier, while more adults were found coming without families, authorities said Tuesday.

Authorities encountered 17,171 children traveling alone, down 9% from 18,960 in March, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, but still well above the previous high of 11,475 reported in May 2019 by the Border Patrol, which began publishing numbers in 2009.

Overall, the Border Patrol’s 173,460 encounters with migrants on the Mexican border in April were up 3% from 169,213 in March, the highest level since April 2000. The numbers aren’t directly comparable because a solid majority of those stopped in April were quickly expelled from the country under federal pandemic-related powers that deny rights to seek asylum. Being expelled carries no legal consequences, so many people try to cross multiple times.

Border Patrol encounters with people coming in families fell in similar proportion to unaccompanied children — down 10% to 48,226 from 53,406 in March. Slightly more than one of three family encounters resulted in pandemic-related expulsions.

The numbers offer the latest read on one of the most serious challenges to Joe Biden’s young presidency. Despite some encouraging news in April on unaccompanied children and families, Biden has a lot riding on a new “humane” asylum system that has yet to be unveiled. There don’t appear to be quick, easy answers.

Single adults from Mexico and Central America drove the overall increase in activity in April. The Border Patrol had 108,301 encounters with adults traveling without children, up 12% from 97,074 in March. Nearly nine of 10 adult encounters ended in expulsions under pandemic-related authority granted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Biden has exempted unaccompanied children from expulsion, allowing them to stay in the U.S. while pursuing asylum claims. Families with young children are also often released in the U.S. while their cases wind through the bottlenecked immigration court system.

The government has made big strides moving children from grossly overcrowded Border Patrol facilities to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shelters, which are more suited to longer-term stays until children are placed with sponsors in the United States, typically parents or close relatives.

The average stay for an unaccompanied child in Border Patrol custody has plummeted to about 20 hours, below the legal limit of 72 hours and down from 133 hours in late March, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said last week. There were 455 unaccompanied children in Border Patrol custody on Monday, down from more than 5,700 in late March.

Health and Human Services has opened 14 emergency intake centers, raising capacity to nearly 20,000 beds from 952 when the Federal Emergency Management Agency stepped in to help March 13. As of Monday, Health and Human Services had 20,669 children in its care.

Mexico has been reluctant to take back Central American families with young children, especially in Tamaulipas state bordering Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, the busiest corridor for illegal crossings. Many are being released in the U.S. while their asylum cases are considered by immigration authorities. Some families are flown to El Paso, Texas, and San Diego to be expelled from there, where Mexican authorities are more willing to take them.

For-Profit Charters Set To Run Pa. District's Schools

High school students protest the pending state takeover and privatization of the York, Pa. School District.
High school students protest the pending state takeover and privatization of the York, Pa. School District.

It's been a hectic couple of months for anyone watching the York school district in Pennsylvania. The district is facing a state takeover and may be about to go all-charter, handing control of education to a for-profit company called Charters USA.

It's a drastic response to the dire situation in city's schools, both financially and academically. Test scores are the worst of all Pennsylvania's 500 districts, and the proposed turnover is the latest twist in a long-running controversy over the future of the York schools.

Despite the district's problems, High school senior Ashlee DeSantis protested outside nearly every hearing on proposed state takeover.

"So this is to show anybody who's driving by, the chief recovery officer, anybody in the community, to show them we actually do care," says DeSantis, as other students chant in the background.

"We care about our school, we love our school and we love public school. We don't want receivership to happen here."

Eighty-four percent of York students live in poor households and the city's stagnant tax base largely caused the financial problems at the heart of the state's takeover bid.

York school officials are fighting the court decision to approve a state receivership.

But if it stands, the state plans to turn over the school system to Charter Schools USA, a for-profit company with 70 schools in seven states. York would become one of very few all-charter urban districts in the U.S. — and one of the largest.

Rand Quinn, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's graduate school of education, says controversy in these scenarios is almost unavoidable.

"We can almost expect contention regardless of what these choices are, and how well thought out and deliberate and reasonable they may seem," says Quinn.

York already has a handful of charter schools, and results are mixed.

Some of its existing charters post better scores than the district.

But the highest performance comes from a school with students from two suburban districts as well as the city. Another charter with the worst scores later closed.

Quinn says that's how it's supposed to work.

"There's this idea of competition and innovation and choice that's embedded in the logic of this method of reform," says Quinn. "The good schools and the good teachers thrive, and the underperforming schools and underperforming teachers are removed from the system."

Charter Schools USA will have to meet performance standards, or face losing its charter.

But the contract isn't final yet.

And incoming Gov. Tom Wolf hasn't said what he'll do if it is finalized before his term starts.

Wolf opposes privatizing education in York. But hasn't put forth another suggestion to fix city schools. Wolf has promised changes in the state's school funding formula, and they would affect the district, but any impact from those changes would take time.

Department of Education spokesman Tim Eller says York school officials have moved too slowly for years.

"The board's continued delay in taking action just further delays the recovery process and further impacts students," says Eller.

But critics say the state is just rushing to bring Charter Schools USA to York before Wolf takes office.

'On Our Watch' Examines California's Unsealed Police Disciplinary Records

When a police officer is accused of misconduct, it is common for officials to promise an investigation.

CASSANDRA DECK-BROWN: I am concerned by the actions of some of our officers.

UNIDENTIFIED MINNEAPOLIS POLICE SPOKESPERON: I will absolutely look at the case in its entirety.

UNIDENTIFIED MESA POLICE SPOKESPERSON: We have opened an internal affairs investigation into this.

INSKEEP: So officials say at press conferences, but the public rarely hears anything more. The results of internal affairs investigations are very often confidential. Now we can reveal how some of those secret investigations turned out over the years. California opened its once-hidden records. And a new podcast from NPR and KQED examines how police investigate police when they thought nobody would be watching.

Sukey Lewis of San Francisco's KQED has spent 2 1/2 years going through thousands of police internal affairs files, documents, videos, much more. And she's with us now. Hey there, Sukey.

INSKEEP: So I know it's been difficult. Local departments have resisted releasing this public information. But what have you found so far?

LEWIS: Well, it's still really not a complete picture because of that difficulty we've had getting files from all these different policing agencies. But we are starting to see how departments investigate serious use of force by police and that it's often documented but rarely disciplined. We also got to see misconduct cases and these internal investigations that found officers who were disciplined for theft, domestic violence, lying on police reports and abusing their power to sexually harass or abuse people. And in many of these serious cases, officers were fired or they resigned but weren't criminally investigated or charged. So departments might fire an officer, but by keeping the misconduct out of the criminal justice system, those cases were still secret and protected by officer confidentiality.

INSKEEP: Well, how does that confidentiality affect a case?

LEWIS: I'll tell you about this one case. There was this woman named Katheryn Jenks, and she kept calling 911 for help when there was no apparent emergency. The officers kept responding, and they thought that maybe something was going on with her mental health. But when she calls 911 again, they arrest her for abusing the emergency system, and then they charge her with resisting arrest. But the body camera footage doesn't match what they wrote on their police reports. I'm going to play some audio from the incident. A warning - it's really hard to listen to and may not be appropriate for kids. Jenks got really badly injured by a police dog during the arrest.

KATHERYN JENKS: Ow, ow. Get him off of me.

NATALIE RAFFERTY: He's not on you. He's holding onto your clothing.

JENKS: Oh, my God. No.

LEWIS: The department investigated and found that the officers shouldn't have arrested her in the first place and that they falsified information on their police reports to make their use of force seem justified. But until we reported on this, Katheryn Jenks didn't know anything about the internal affairs findings, and she was still facing criminal charges.

INSKEEP: Ah, something that her defense lawyers surely would have wanted to know. Are you still learning more about cases like this?

LEWIS: Yes. Just in recent days, we've learned more about the high-profile case of Oscar Grant. He was a young man in Oakland killed on a BART train platform on New Year's Day in 2009.

LEWIS: There was huge public scrutiny of this case and massive public protests. It was really the first case to go viral due to cellphone footage and sparked the Black Lives Matter movement. But the recordings of the internal affairs investigation weren't released by the agency until KQED actually sued them. And they just came out a couple of weeks ago. So here's a BART detective starting the interview with an officer, Tony Perrone, whose actions on the platform were really in question after the incident.

UNIDENTIFIED BART POLICE OFFICER: I'd like to put it on record that I have a close personal and working relationship with you, Tony. And I want to make sure that you're OK with me interviewing you.

TONY PIRONE: Yeah, I'm fine with that.

LEWIS: So it's stunning that they have this guy who worked really closely with both the officer who shot Oscar Grant, Johannes Johannes Mehserle, and Tony Pirone run their interrogations. And we heard this over and over, especially in use-of-force cases. The investigators can be really deferential to the officers rather than pushing back on them or asking them for answers.

INSKEEP: OK. We said 700 California law enforcement agencies, all of whose records, in theory, have been made public - do they all have these kinds of secrets?

LEWIS: Going through all the records we've gotten so far, one thing that's really stood out is what a patchwork police discipline is. The agencies or departments, they have different rules - or even if they have the same policies, they enforce them differently. So that means a cop who might be fired or disciplined for something in San Francisco might not even get a reprimand for it somewhere else.

And I'll give you one kind of funny example of this. One of the investigations we got was about this officer who got caught stealing. He'd taken a blue lives matter mug from one of his colleagues. There was an interrogation and everything, and he gets fired. The darker side of that uneven enforcement is that in another case that we look at in the podcast, there's an officer who fails to investigate a statutory rape. And while he also gets fired, he immediately gets hired by a new department.

INSKEEP: Ah, which is something that confidentiality makes possible, I suppose. What are some of the other things that make it hard to hold officers accountable?

LEWIS: Well, here in California, like a lot of other states, police officers have a very robust bill of rights that protects them when they go into these interview rooms. For instance, they have the right to know what they're going to be questioned about ahead of time. They also have rights to an extensive appeals process for any discipline that's imposed. So the way it's set up, the incentives aren't necessarily about justice or even necessarily about protecting the public.

INSKEEP: OK, protecting who then?

LEWIS: Well, one of the people I've talked to a number of times over the past couple of years is Judge LaDoris Cordell. After she retired from the bench in Santa Clara County, she served as a police auditor for the city of San Jose, which means she got to sit in on internal affairs cases.

LADORIS CORDELL: So you talk about the cities getting at the truth or justice. The cities basically are protecting themselves from lawsuits. They're concerned about liability.

LEWIS: She wasn't the only person who pointed this out to me, that this system that says it's about accountability is actually about managing risk to the city. Now, I don't want to suggest that accountability can't be a part of the process. But because of these special rights and the way that things are set up, cities, in some ways, are more beholden to these contracts with their employees, with police officers, than they are to members of the public.

INSKEEP: Sukey, thanks for the reporting.

LEWIS: Thank you.

INSKEEP: Sukey Lewis is part of a team of journalists reporting on unsealed disciplinary records across California, and she is the host of On Our Watch, a new podcast from NPR and KQED. The first episode is out today.

KUKA Roboter combines jointed-arm and linear technology to produce “KUKA JET”

15 May 2006

Munich, May 2006 – KUKA Roboter, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial robots, is now combining its 6-axis kinematic systems with linear technology. Take a KUKA jointed-arm robot, remove the first vertical rotational axis, and mount it either upside down or sideways on a linear unit. The function of the first rotational axis is performed by the linear axis. The result is called KUKA JET, and is set to bring substantial productivity gains to industry. KUKA Roboter is unveiling KUKA JET at the AUTOMATICA trade fair in Munich, in Hall 3, Booths 211 + 221.

With KUKA JET, highly complex removal operations and completely new, space-saving machine shop concepts are now possible, even for bulky components. The new product from KUKA Roboter is suitable for all industries where long distances need to be traversed and where it is possible to dispense with the rotary motion of axis 1 – an ideal solution, therefore, for handling tasks in the areas of injection molding, die casting, machine tool manufacturing and logistics.

The new 6-axis / linear combination is KUKA Roboter’s logical answer to industry requests for new concepts in machine automation. New plastics machines and die technologies such as turnover plate machines with two components call for both the speed of a linear axis and the flexibility of a jointed-arm robot. These twin requirements have now been implemented in KUKA JET. It hangs above its work envelope and can move rapidly along its linear axis, for example between the unloading station and the setdown point. In this way, short cycle times can be achieved.

Another major advantage of combining jointed-arm and linear technology is the enhanced maneuverability. This means, for example, that machines can be tended through narrower openings and workpieces can be precisely positioned even within the machine. KUKA JET also allows the workpieces to be withdrawn from the machine in a longitudinal direction. This makes it possible to serve a number of machines in a row, resulting in optimal material flow. Up to two robots can be controlled on one linear axis. In addition, the installation can be configured to allow several machines to be tended by one combination.

Four configuration variants

KUKA JET is available in four configuration variants with different reaches and working ranges. The payload extends from 30 to 60 kilograms. The entire production process with its various tasks and devices is run on the basis of a single, homogeneous concept by the service-proven KUKA KR C2 controller. The solution is fully integrated into the KUKA product philosophy. This is characterized, irrespective of the individual technologies involved, by a uniform look and feel, common application devices and consistent maintenance and upgrade concepts. If the KUKA JET solution is employed in the plastics industry, all device types support the standardized signal exchange between the injection molding machine and the robot in accordance with Euromap interfaces 12 and 67. An interface with the machine for coordination with the injection molding cycle is established by means of the KUKA PlastTech software. All robot types are of open design, so that the end customer can decide which bus system to use for mapping the process.

About KUKA roboter

KUKA Roboter GmbH, Augsburg, is a member of the IWKA Aktiengesellschaft Group (Karlsruhe) and ranks among the world’s leading suppliers of industrial robots. Core competencies are the development, production and sale of industrial robots, controllers, software and linear units.

KUKA robot manufactures unusual wooden pavilion

With the help of a KUKA robot, a research project at the University of Stuttgart gave rise to a wooden pavilion that is characterized by its particular capabilities and efficient use of resources

2014년 7월 3일

The unusual pavilion can be visited at the State Garden Festival in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany until 12 October.

The idea of joining one of the oldest building materials known to humanity using cutting-edge technology – in this case a KUKA robot from the KR QUANTEC series for shaping the components – comes from the University of Stuttgart.

Together with Müllerblaustein Holzbau GmbH, Landesgartenschau Schwäbisch Gmünd 2014 GmbH, the Baden‐Württemberg State Forestry Service (ForstBW) and KUKA, the academics from the south-west of Germany wanted to show how architecturally innovative and, at the same time, particularly effective designs made from the regionally available and renewable construction material can be – and how efficiently they use resources as well.

Inspiration: the sea urchin

The idea for the complex shape of the forest pavilion derives from nature, and more specifically the exoskeleton of a sea urchin. Its structure gives it particular capabilities and makes efficient use of materials. No one panel is the same as any other. In the forest pavilion, this means 243 different panels were drafted using computer-based planning. In this case, the panels were not modeled or drawn individually. Instead, their position, shape and size were determined automatically in the digital process. The greatest challenge and innovation involved producing the 7600 geometrically different finger joints that lend the pavilion its stability and are visible on the inside.
This is where the KUKA robot came into play. On a turntable, the KR QUANTEC robot cut the individual panels automatically and with the greatest of accuracy from 50 mm thick beech slabs. With an ideal result: when the pavilion was assembled, the parts fitted together perfectly, meaning that the unusual shape of the pavilion almost built itself. The entire construction process of the wooden pavilion can be seen here. The end result is on show at the State Garden Festival in Schwäbisch Gmünd until 12 October 2014.

Gomovies 2020 – Illegal HD Movies Download Website
Gomovies 2020 - Illegal HD Movies Download

Movies and TV shows have become an integral part of everyone’s day to day life for entertainment. Where some people choose to subscribe to various entertainment apps, some download or watch it through various torrent or piracy sites. Piracy is one of the biggest fears of many filmmakers around the globe. Due to sites like GoMovies, Box Office numbers have been affected widely. Where some find these free HD movie download sites unlawful, many fans have been supporting and downloading contents evidently. This leads to a decrease in the number of audiences that go to theatres to watch the latest films.

Gomovies is not only responsible for affecting the business of the film industry but also the cinema halls and entertainment portals like Netflix, Hotstar, Zee5, Amazon Prime and more. GoMovies has been leaking content of the global film and TV community for a long time now. Here is all you need to know about this piracy website:

About ‘GoMovies’

GoMovies is considered by the online users as one of the biggest online portals and most popular sites for downloading free Hollywood and Netflix Movies or TV series. This global piracy website enables a user to download a vast resource of free online movies and series. These pirated films are uploaded as soon as they are released or sometimes even before their release. GoMovies, 123movies and Fmovies are amongst the mega-giants who provide an endless list of films, shows and reality shows to download for free. These websites not only allow the users to download content for free but they can also view the content online through various steaming points.

The GoMovies Bollywood section provides the netizens to view and download Hollywood and Bollywood films without any charges. The site is responsible for providing the users with an easy access to download pirated videos for free across the globe. A person can easily find the movies and shows on the site by browsing through the incredibly vast content available on their website. GoMovies is connected to several other piracy websites providing them HD video content as well.

What makes GoMovies.com stand distinct from other sites?

This piracy website leaks free HD Bollywood and Hollywood movies on the internet shamelessly just like any other site. But, instead of providing the users content directly to watch and download, GoMovies helps them with much more. The site has an easy listing of movies and one can browse through different genres as well. The site is divided in three sections:

Latest Movies

Latest TV Series

Latest Episodes

Movies Leaked by GoMovies website

This notorious movie download site has been pirating several movies and shows for a long time now. Almost every Hollywood blockbuster movie of several international stars has been leaked by GoMovies.com. The vast number of movies leaked by site includes; Ford v Ferrari, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Avengers: Endgame, The Lion King, and more. Recently the site has been convicted of leaking movies like Bird of Prey, Joker and more. Many Bollywood movies like Dabangg 3, Pagalpanti and others too have fallen prey to this site. Apart from movies, this online piracy giant is also responsible for providing free Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Hooq and other entertainment sites’ content for free.

Recent leaks include:

The Lion King

Love Aaj Kal

Dabangg 3

GoMovies in India

Movie piracy is considered illegal in India, USA and many countries. The Indian government has banned piracy sites like GoMovies, 123movies, Fmovies, Movierulz, Isaimini and TamilRockers. However, every effort by the government has failed to stop the leak of movies on such websites. To tackle the bans around the world, GoMovies online website keeps gradually changing its domain extension from .com. .uz, .pn, .it and more. This unstoppable piracy site has been challenging the global authority by continuing its illegal acts and leaking a lot of movies and shows online, which has been haunting the moviemakers. The main problem for the film community is that GoMovies free download provides contents to other piracy sites as well.

What is the government doing to stop piracy?

The Government has taken definitive steps to eradicate piracy of films. As per the Cinematograph Act approved in 2019, any individual found recording a movie without the written consent of the producers can face a jail term up to 3 years. Besides this, a fine of ₹10 lakhs can also be imposed on the culprits. People circulating pirated copies on illegal torrent websites can also face a jail term.

Will I go to jail or be fined for downloading a movie illegally?

According to the piracy law in India, if a person is taken to the court and it is proven that he/she has knowingly infringed or helped someone else infringe and download a copyrighted movie from GoMovies free online movies, then it would be considered to be a criminal act. The court will assume that the person knew of the infringement because in most cases the movie contains a watermark or notice which indicates that it is a copyrighted work.

Under the law, the punishment for a person being convicted for their first such offence is a jail term for six months and three years, with a fine between ₹50,000 and ₹200,000 (depending on the seriousness of the offence).

Disclaimer – Oftice does not aim to promote or condone piracy in any way. Piracy is an act of crime and is considered a serious offence under the Copyright Act of 1957.

Bozeman law firm offers to expunge marijuana criminal records for $420 or free

Posted at 4:34 PM, Mar 12, 2021
and last updated 2021-03-13 11:13:55-05

BOZEMAN — In this past November election, initiative 190 decriminalized marijuana, but that doesn’t automatically mean it expunges criminal records relating to it.

“We think it’s kind of ridiculous that they come out with a law and then don’t really come out with an opportunity to do that in a cost-effective manner,” explained Herman Watson, an attorney with Watson Law Firm.

Which prompted Watson Law Firm to offer record expungement services relating to marijuana for $420.

“Now they’re saying yeah our bad we changed our mind about that, you can get it expunged but then you can hire an attorney to do that cause it’s not something you’d get a public defender for,” Watson said.

But it’s not about the money for this firm. They say it’s about being progressive in drug reform.

“Yeah that’s kind of a joke number, but the idea is that it just covers the cost of us filing the petitions and like having my staff work on it. Someone commented on that on Facebook saying this stuff should be free, and I agreed with that and so we came back and said if that number cost prohibited we’ll do it pro bono,” he explained.

Meaning at no cost… But Watson says you do have another option.

“For people who don’t want to go through the process of petitioning the court to erase their records I think we might hear back from the legislature on an amendment to I-190 or some additional law that would require district courts to handle these matters and expunge people’s convictions as a matter of course, we should probably hear back from them within a year, so by the end of the year,” he explained.

So far, about a dozen people have reached out to Watson Law for their help with this issue.

Bus company makes a U-turn to adapt to COVID-19 realities, allowing drivers to regain work

Posted at 6:31 PM, Feb 18, 2021
and last updated 2021-02-18 20:34:52-05

MODESTO, Calif. — Michelle Hodge has worked as a school and charter bus driver for 23 years. But last spring, she found herself like millions of others, out of a job.

“I actually had to move into my son’s house, being on unemployment, because it’s just not enough to provide for yourself on your own. It’s devastating,” said Hodge.

Hodge was one of 400 employees laid off by a California-based bus company.

“It was horrible, it was very, very depressing. I would call Donald and Sarah Storer quite often, asking them if they came up with anything. Do you think that our jobs are coming back anytime soon? Because sitting at home [was] awful and it was very terrible financially,” Hodge said.

Donald and Sarah Storer are the third and fourth generation owners and operators of Storer Coachways based in California. Sarah Storer’s great-grandfather founded the company to take kids with disabilities to school. Since then, the company expanded to coach tours and other services.

“There was an estimated 400 drivers laid off when the tour bus industry halted,” said Sarah Storer.

Laying off 400 employees was tough for Sarah. She and her dad knew they had to figure out a way to get their buses back on the road.

“It was definitely scary at first. There were times where I felt like, oh my gosh, all these years of hard work, like is this it? After 69 years in business and I’m the fourth generation family business, what’s going to happen next? And so my dad and I started putting our brains together and came up with this,” said Storer.

Sarah Storer had the buses retrofitted as mobile testing labs for COVID-19, and launched the Bus Test Express.

“It has the capacity for four stations, so we have four swabbing stations,” said Deleta Moore, a nurse managing a testing site.

One of the Bus Test Express units is testing patients in Antioch, California. People getting tests praise its convenience.

“Honestly, I was just riding by. I just drove by and seen it,” Tenekia Hill, a patient.

“Availability, actually. Location, close to our house, so we were able to book an appointment right away,“ Masood Aamaei said.

Sarah Storer says the units can complete up to 700 tests a day. Her goal is to retrofit buses and lease them to medical companies around the country.

“This option, for the first time, gives the healthcare industry a rentable, mobile clinic option that includes the full-service operations, drivers, vehicle maintenance, fueling, parking and logistics,” said Storer.

She thinks her plan can help get more people tested and put more drivers like Hodge back to work.

“I couldn’t imagine working for anybody else. The Storers, Donald and Sarah, have always treated me like family and have looked out for the drivers and whenever we need help, we know we can get it from them,” said Hodge.

Oprah Winfrey To Host Prime-time Interview With Prince Harry And Meghan Markle

Oprah Winfrey To Host Prime-time Interview With Prince Harry And Meghan Markle
Posted at 2:00 PM, Feb 16, 2021
and last updated 2021-02-16 16:01:33-05

There’s more news from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — just a day after they revealed they’re expecting another child! Oprah Winfrey will interview the couple during a prime-time television special on CBS on March 7. This will be the couple’s first lengthy television interview since their engagement announcement in November 2017.

“Winfrey will speak with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in a wide-ranging interview, covering everything from stepping into life as a Royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure,” CBS said in a statement. “Later, the two are joined by Prince Harry as they speak about their move to the United States and their future hopes and dreams for their expanding family.”

Oprah Magazine tweeted the news as well:

Winfrey attended Prince Harry and Markle’s wedding at Windsor Castle in May 2018 and now lives next door to them in Montecito, California. In April 2019, Apple TV+ announced that Winfrey and Prince Harry were teaming up for a television series about mental health and wellness. Prince Harry and Markle have also signed content creation deals with Netflix and Spotify.

Previously, Winfrey has publicly defended Markle, telling bestie Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” that she believed she was “being treated unfairly” by the press.

“I feel that if people really knew her, they would know that she is not only everything you perceive her as being — graceful and dynamic in holding that position — but that she just has a wonderful warm, giving, funny heart,” Winfrey said. “I see all the crazy press around her, and I think it’s really unfair.”

On “CBS This Morning” on Feb. 16, King said she knew Winfrey had been “working on the questions all weekend long.”

“I’m told nothing is off limits, nothing is off limits. She can ask anything she wants,” added King, who was a guest at Markle’s New York baby shower in 2019.

“CBS This Morning” tweeted a clip with King’s comments:

“Oprah With Meghan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special” will air on March 7 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. If you don’t have cable or other access to your local station, you can watch it online through Hulu Live TV ($54.99 per month) or YouTube TV ($64.99 per month), both of which have free trials you can enjoy before you sign up to pay anything.

Our priorities

Lafarge Egypt has outlined a number of sustainable development priorities that are in line with the Lafarge Group's Sustainability Ambitions 2020.

Fighting climate change

Lafarge Egypt has been focusing on Egypt.

In 2000, Lafarge made a commitment to reduce its CO2 emissions by 20% over the period 1990 to 2010. At the same time, Lafarge is developing solutions to conserve energy resources.

Health and safety

Safety is a top priority for Lafarge Egypt as it is for Lafarge worldwide. A stringent safety policy is in place to promote a culture of safety and establish Lafarge as one of the world's leading companies in this domain.

Sustainable construction

Lafarge contributes to designing innovative, lasting construction solutions, to efficiently reduce the impact of buildings on the environment. To do so, the Group works closely with different partners: architects, cement producers, international companies, researchers, etc.

Climate change

The term "climate change" refers to meteorological and temperature modifications observed over the course of the last century. It is attributed to an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, in the atmosphere. These gases trap solar energy in the atmosphere, warming the land and the oceans.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (I.P.C.C), 90% of the increase in the concentration of these gases is due to human activities and only 10% is due to natural causes.

Acting locally

With sites in 76 countries around the world, Lafarge wants its presence and operations to have a positive impact on local communities. The Group makes constant, sincere efforts to act responsibly, maintain good relations with its neighbors and promote positive environmental, economic and social actions. Its goal is to contribute to improving the quality of life of local populations.

Virgo in Love – Sign Compatibility

Published on September 6, 2020 by

In love, a Virgo will be discriminating, picky and will take time to find a partner. A bit of a loner, a Virgo will be more than happy to simply stay single, until the right person comes along. Elusive and critical, Virgos are a hard one to catch.

When dating they can be extremely quiet, especially a female Virgo, taking much time to open up. They can appear mysterious because they are so quiet and reserved and love to spend time alone. People wonder what they do with all that time alone.

Usually not the mushy type, Virgo will display their love with an unending devotion and a joy of making their partner happy. Virgo glows when they are doing something useful and helpful for their partner and love certainly brings out the very best in this sign.

Rincon Guatemalteco: Pre-Hispanic Guatemalan Soup and other Comfort Food

Say ‘kak’ik de pavo con recado especial’ five times fast.

It’s easy to drive past L.A.’s best Guatemalan restaurant, on the northern edge of Koreatown. The dull signage blends in with the restaurant’s rounded storefront on a corner of Western that’s uncharacteristically idle. The interior is drab, aside from the plexi-glass covered Mayan-themed tablecloths. Though Rincon Guatemalteco does little to lure you in, a tasty surprise awaits.

Kak’ik de pavo con recado especial is a pre-hispanic turkey soup with a chompipe (turkey leg) in a blend of tomato and chiles guaques (Guatemalan chiles) served with a tamal, rice, and some chile cobanero powder the owner brings in from Guatemala herself.

Central-American restaurants usually have plenty of excellent soup—Rincon is no exception—and the calod de huevos, or egg soup is also a delicious option. It’s simple—poached eggs in a well seasoned tomato broth—but satisfying.

If you’re a bit more adventurous, the revolcado consists of pig hearts, liver, and whatever other organs might be available in a stew of tomatoes, miltomates (tomatillos), cloves, and more of those chiles guaques.

There are a variety of excellent tamales, some of which we’ve mentioned before on the Digest, and a delicious house-made longaniza sausage that’s sort of like Guatemala’s answer to meatloaf.

The menu is full of comforting dishes for this winter season. It’s true, it really hasn’t been that cold—so you can imagine how warming these dishes would be, if winter ever decides to show up—but get a taste of Rincon Guatemalteco anyway!

http://cdn2.lamag.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/01/arrow30.png Rincon Guatemalteco, 501 N. Western Ave., Koreatown, 323-463-6602.

A 'secret' Covid-19 tracker is appearing on smartphones - here's why it's nothing to worry about

Monday, 6th July 2020, 8:51 am
Updated Monday, 6th July 2020, 8:52 am
Covid-19 Exposure Logging is designed to work with contact tracing apps, but since the UK doesn't have one, it won't affect Brits (Photo: Shutterstock)

Smartphone users have complained of a new coronavirus tracing feature appearing on their phones, despite not knowingly downloading any updates.

Recent updates to both iOS and Android devices brought with them the Exposure Notification API, and it appears that some weeks on, users are noticing a new, 'Covid-19 Exposure Logging' function on their phones.

However, this feature is not a new app in and of itself, and the API (Application Programming Interface) serves only to allow future coronavirus contact tracing apps to work on the devices.

Since the UK doesn't have a working contract tracing app, the new function makes no difference to Brits' phones.

The UK's future contact tracing app will use Bluetooth technology to track phones that are within close proximity to each other, allowing health officials to easily identify anyone who has been close to someone with Covid-19.

Here's everything you need to know:

What is the new 'tracker'?

iOS and Google's Android operating systems run on 98 per cent of phones and tablets globally, and earlier in the year, the two tech giants announced a partnership to help in fighting the spread of Covid-19.

The joint effort to permit devices to be used for contact tracing will enable authorities to track people who have been exposed to coronavirus carriers.

Since the Exposure Notification API is not an app, it cannot make any changes or do anything to your phone until a compatible programme is installed.

The Covid-19 Exposure Logging function is disabled by default in territories where a workable contact tracing app is not available, such as the UK.

Its settings page says it can "exchange random IDs with other devices using Bluetooth," but only "when enabled".

It's not something that will be apparent to many users, and seems to have been 'discovered' by eagle-eyed tech fans attempting to diagnose problems with their handsets.

The initial phase of the roll-out requires users to download apps from public health authorities in order to enable contact tracing on their devices.

Apple and Google have said that they plan to do away with the need for dedicated apps and bake "a broader, Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform" into their operating systems directly, but that should be available "in the coming months."

Should I be worried?

Exposure Logging's settings page says it  'cannot access any data in, or add data to, the Health app' (Photo: Shutterstock)

Those who have stumbled across the new function appear to have been blindsided by its appearance.

Some have described the "sneaky" introduction of the new feature as "Orwellian", despite both Apple and Google announcing its arrival ahead of their latest updates.

Exposure Logging's settings page says it  "cannot access any data in, or add data to, the Health app."

"The random IDs your device collects are stored in an exposure log for 14 days.

"This exposure log allows an app you authorise to notify you if you may have been exposed to Covid-19."

Does it drain battery?

Users in Germany - which does have a working contact tracing app - have complained that the function drains battery life.

And now tech fans in the UK are blaming Covid-19 Exposure Logging for a multitude of issues with their own devices.

No connection between the new feature and any other issue has been officially confirmed.

It's likely that those experiencing problems delved into their settings to try to isolate the problem, unwittingly stumbled upon Covid-19 Exposure Logging, and put two and two together.

However, as with all new updates and features, bugs and glitches do happen, though both Google are Apple are yet to report any known issues.

Louisiana Tech achieves record enrollment, increase in freshman class

Sep 21, 2016 | General News

— Freshman class tops 2,000 for fall 2016 and a nearly 55 percent increase in the past four years —
Louisiana Tech University has enrolled more students this fall than at any time in its history, and has achieved a nearly 55 percent growth in first-time freshmen since fall of 2012.
According to its fall 2016 headcount announced Wednesday, Louisiana Tech has enrolled 12,694 students for the fall quarter – a 2.3 percent increase over last year and eclipsing the previous record enrollment of 12,414 students set last fall.
_DJC1005Along with the record number of students attending Louisiana Tech, the quality of students in the freshman class has continued to increase.  This year’s first-time freshmen have an average ACT score of 24.7 – a significant increase of two-tenths of a point over last year.  A further indication of Louisiana Tech’s incoming student quality is reflected by an all-time high of 155 incoming students who have earned an ACT score of 32 or higher, and meet the qualifications for Presidential Scholar or National Merit Scholar designation.
“The incoming freshman class of 2016 represents one of the largest and certainly the most academically accomplished in the history of Louisiana Tech,” said Louisiana Tech President Les Guice.  “Student recruitment, retention and engagement is something our entire campus community promotes throughout the year, and we could not have achieved this milestone in quantity and quality without them.  The growth of our institution and its high-caliber student body is a credit to the tireless efforts of our faculty and staff.”
At the college level, Louisiana Tech’s College of Applied and Natural Sciences had the largest overall enrollment increase (amongst those who have declared a major) followed by the College of Engineering and Science, College of Business, College of Liberal Arts, and College of Education.
“The campus-wide commitment to recruiting and retaining good students is a cornerstone of Louisiana Tech’s strategic plan and growth strategies,” said Dr. Jim King, vice president for student advancement. “Led by our admissions staff, we will continue to seek the best and brightest students, and provide them with educational opportunities and experiences they can find only at Louisiana Tech.”
The record enrollment was accompanied by a slight increase in the retention of students to Louisiana Tech, from the 2015 freshman cohort.  80.6 percent of first-time, full-time freshmen from fall 2014 returned to Louisiana Tech this year, which is an increase of one-tenth percent increase over last year.

‘Squad’ member Rep. Ilhan Omar holds off primary challenger in Minnesota

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar fields reporters' questions in Minneapolis on Tuesday.
(Associated Press)

Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota on Tuesday survived a stiff Democratic primary challenge from a well-funded opponent who tried to make an issue of her national celebrity.

Omar, seeking her second term in November, defeated Antone Melton-Meaux, an attorney and mediator who raised millions in anti-Omar money.

Melton-Meaux used the cash to paper the district and flood airwaves with his “Focused on the Fifth” message that portrayed Omar, a member of “The Squad” of four progressive young female members of Congress, as out of touch with the Minneapolis-area 5th District.

Omar in 2018 became one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, building on a national profile that started when the onetime refugee from Somalia was elected to the Minnesota Legislature two years earlier. Her aggressive advocacy on liberal issues, and her eagerness to take on President Trump, made her even more prominent.

Omar rejected Melton-Meaux’s attacks, saying they were funded by interests who wanted to get her out of Congress because she’s effective. She also downplayed Melton-Meaux’s prodigious fundraising before the vote, saying, “Organized people will always beat organized money.”

Joe Biden addressed a summit held by the advocacy group Emgage Action to mobilize Muslim voters and got endorsement from prominent Muslim American officials.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Tina Smith and Republican challenger Jason Lewis easily won their primaries in the only statewide races on the ballot. Elsewhere, in western Minnesota’s conservative 7th District, former state Sen. Michelle Fischbach won a three-way Republican race for the right to challenge Democratic Rep. Collin C. Peterson. Peterson, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, is one of the GOP’s top targets to flip a House seat in November.

After entering Congress with fanfare, Omar hurt herself early with comments about Israel and money that even some fellow Democrats called anti-Semitic, and found herself apologizing. She also came under scrutiny when her marriage fell apart and she married her political consultant months after denying they were having an affair.

Republicans also raised questions about continuing payments to her new husband’s firm, though experts said they aren’t necessarily improper.

In the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, police reform also emerged as an issue. Omar supported a push by a majority of the Minneapolis City Council to replace the city’s Police Department with something new. Melton-Meaux did not support that but did support shifting some funding away from police to more social service-oriented programs. Both touched on the issue in personal ways, with Omar saying she wanted her son to grow up safely. Melton-Meaux, who is also Black, told a personal story of being detained while at the University of Virginia by police seeking an assault suspect reported to have run into his apartment building.

Progressive Democrats gained confidence in Omar’s reelection chances after primary victories last week by fellow “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib in Michigan and by challenger Cori Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist, in a St. Louis-area congressional primary. Progressives also claimed momentum from the renewed focus on racial and economic justice after Floyd’s death.

Catherine Thornton, 36, a General Mills researcher who lives in southwest Minneapolis, said Tuesday that she voted for Melton-Meaux.

“I have a lot of respect for Ms. Omar, but I personally don’t align with just her focus on the progressive agenda. And I felt like Mr. Melton-Meaux would have more focus on our district and the people of our district’s needs.”

Wendy Helgeson, 57, a consultant, backed Omar two years ago, even installing a lawn sign in her yard, and said she was “awfully proud of her being the first Black Muslim woman that we elected.” But she said she was concerned about campaign payments to Omar’s husband’s firm as well as her national presence, and found it easy to vote for Melton-Meaux, whom she said has been her friend for 12 years.

“I admire her as a woman,” Helgeson said of Omar. “As a candidate, ehhh ... I have some reservations.”

John Hildebrand, a 47-year-old teacher in Minneapolis who voted for Omar, said her national profile is an advantage.

“I think just her presence encourages other Muslims and Somalis to run for office and to seek to be represented,” he said. “I think she just engages people in the political system more and more.”

Blake Smith, 23, a parks worker who is Black and described himself as a leftist, also backed Omar. He’s concerned about climate change, “Medicare for all” and getting money out of politics, and he sees her as an ally.

“It’s more time for radical change than, like, small — I don’t think we have time for incremental change anymore,” Smith said.

New rankings for corporate law firms in NYC

According to a new survey by Corporate Board Member magazine, Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom is the number one New York corporate law firm. Cravath Swaine & Moore, Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz, Sullivan & Cromwell, and Davis Polk & Wardwell also scored highly.

The rankings are based on the opinions of directors serving on boards of publicly traded companies listed with the NASDAQ Stock Market, New York Stock Exchange, or American Stock Exchange. The survey was conducted among 1,390 directors nationally and in 25 metropolitan areas.

The survey was carried out by Corporate Board Member which is a bimonthly publication based out of Tennessee in association with the Baltimore consulting firm FTI.

Harvard Law School to ban laptops in classrooms
Harvard Law School has taken steps to ban the use of laptop computers in classrooms. The measure has not yet been officially adopted, though some professors have already forbidden them in their classes.

The move comes in the wake of the realization that students are not paying enough attention to lectures but instead check e-mail and surf the net during class time. Proponents of laptops in the classroom claim it makes note taking easier. Detractors claim wireless Internet in the classroom is little more than a distraction.

Some have suggested a middle ground, proposing that the school find a way to block wireless Internet in the classroom without banning laptops altogether.

New strategies for law firms' survival
In response to last year's dissolution of two well-known Boston law firms, Hutchins, Wheeler & Dittmar and the hundred-year-old Hill & Barlow, Richard E. Nicolazzo, President and CEO of Boston-based Nicolazzo & Associates, has released a detailed list of suggestions for how to avoid the pitfalls of law firm restructurings, mergers, layoffs, downsizing, and closings.

Based on his experience in providing Strategic Communications Management programs to a diverse, national client base, Nicolazzo advocates a strategically formulated communications process that reaches beyond simple public relations, a process linked to the core strategy of a client's business. He encourages law firms to embrace effective marketing as the key to survival.

The steps Nicolazzo outlines include having a marketing team that comprises a senior partner, taking time to outline marketing goals, setting aside adequate funds for marketing, focusing on key strengths, and being patient while the new strategies are implemented.

Nicolazzo also advises law firms to create marketing partner positions, and he predicts that in the next few years, most firms will have done so.

Second California office for Mintz Levin
Boston-based law firm Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky & Popeo has opened an office in San Diego with a team of 12 lawyers defecting from rival firm Fish & Richardson. The prize catch was Fish & Richardson's Marketing Director, David Salisbury.

A number of East Coast firms are opening offices in California to cash in on entrepreneurial activity in areas such as life sciences, intellectual property, and technology. Currently, San Diego is witnessing an economic upswing based on high technology startups.

Prior to this, Mintz Levin took over the Reed Intellectual Property Law Group and opened a Palo Alto office. This marked the firm's first major expansion to the West Coast.

Helpful tips from the peanut gallery about making a career transition.
Chances for change

BullRunner: What are your opinions regarding what I have been contemplating for the last few months. I do 100% litigation and want to make a change to transactional type work. I have some experience in the specialty I want to move into but based on the (screwed up) way firms around Philadelphia hire, I don't think I'd have a real chance at a job. Just wanted some outside feedback (and wanted to keep it anonymous). Thanks to all who respond, if anyone's out there at all.

Dancer: Are you looking to move to 100% transactional immediately? Or would a gradual shift be okay? If the latter is true, I'd see if there are any partners you could ask for some trans work. You would think, if you litigate X-related matters, you'd have some good insight into what would make a good X transactions lawyer.

hamburgerman: i'd recommend making a slower shift. if you rack up a little trans experience, you'll be more likely to be taken seriously to a new employer. making a shift like that can be tough without experience. take on some trans matters at your current firm before making the leap.

Philagator: Does the firm you work at now do transactional work? If so, I'd look there first and see if you can slide over. Some firms will allow that. Then if you want to do other trans work later, you can at least have some significant experience under your belt.

BullRunner: Unfortunately for me, I am at a firm where there is no trans work. I'd be making a move without having done any of that. I think my chances are slim, but I am really set on moving. Thanks for your responses.

AmbulanceChaser: Bull - I think your assessment of your own situation is right. Your chances are slim, but that doesn't and shouldn't stop you from trying.

hamburgerman: i'd recommend finding a firm where you can use your other experience as a qualification, then shift into trans work. like, find a firm that does what you do now and trans work. tell them that you want to shift into trans work in the interview. a lot of firms have the attitude of you cant teach an old dog new tricks.

dubs00: Not to sound trite, but just because your current firm doesn't do it, is there any reason why you couldn't reach out to existing clients for that type of work? Even Insurance Defense firms have clients that might need that type of work in the future.

johndoe1: I agree with making the gradual change either at your current law firm or at another law firm that has a transactional group. Most firms do not want to invest their time or money in teaching an attorney the transactional side of law, unless they are a first year.

I actually made the switch from litigation to transactional work via a merger; there was a need for a transactional attorney because many had left, so I jumped at the opportunity and never looked back. I also suggest doing some real estate, corporate, or estate litigation because you will be exposed to some the basics of transactional work. For example, in real estate litigation, you may have to review title work, which will help you in doing a residential or commercial closing.

If you do decide to go to another firm, I would definitely be upfront about making a gradual switch, as I have seen attorneys fired for soliciting work outside their practice group. The firm is hiring you to fill a need; if you are not going to do the work you were hired to do, then they can always find someone who will.

BullRunner: There is no possibility of doing trans type work at my current firm. We don't do any. 100% litigation. I like the advice of using the lit exp I have now to get me in the door somewhere else and then after a year or so move form within. Thanks.

TalentScout: Changing practice areas is always tough— especially when it's dramatic. I managed to change from litigation into corporate after having practiced the former for only one year— this was in New York where it's no easier— even 20 years ago— based upon market conditions (a dearth of junior corporate associates) and the fact that grads from my law school were in high demand. One possibility (which you won't like to hear) is to get an LLM in something like tax. This may enable you to have employers look at you with more of a fresh eye— though that is going to, almost by necessity, get you started as a VERY junior corporate associate. There are some disciplines, like real estate, where it is easier to move from the lit to the transactional side— if real estate lit is an option for you, I would give it a shot. If you want to build a little bit of current transactional experience, there may be non-profit public interest places in Philly where you could get experience drafting agreements (ex, places that provide counseling to small businesses, arts professionals, etc.)

Loughborough University launches new Lightning Cycling franchise

Loughborough University has underpinned its commitment to women’s sport with the launch of a new Lightning Cycling franchise.

Developed with investment from The Recruitment Group, the new team will consist of six female athletes who will compete on the national stage.

The franchise will also boast an unrivalled backroom offer, with the team supported by University experts.

The interdisciplinary team includes support from experts in coaching, strength and conditioning, nutrition, performance lifestyle, physiology, physiotherapy, and performance analysis in bike fitting and training science.

The team also benefits from extensive cross-campus collaborative research and development, with the world-leading academic departments of the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences and engineering providing cutting edge sport science and aerodynamics support.

The team will perform in the National Road Series, National Circuit Series, the Tour Series, British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS), and the recently announced ‘Loughborough Cycling Festival’, held on campus in May.

The team will also showcase its talents throughout April and May in the ZRL e-racing events.

Dr Dave Nichols, Loughborough University’s Cycling Programme Manager and Lightning Cycling lead said:

“The formation of the Lightning Cycling program is a huge statement of our intent and establishes Loughborough as the university leader in cycling.

“Our new Lightning team provides a unique development pathway for female athletes to combine the demands of rigorous elite racing and training schedules, while fully supported to complete a prestigious degree. We believe that elite cycling and education should not be a choice.”

With the addition of cycling, the University’s Lightning franchise offering now stands at four with teams already competing in netball, rugby, and cricket.

John Steele, Executive Director of Sport, Loughborough University, said:

“The Lightning Cycling programme reinforces our commitment to developing women’s sport at the highest level at Loughborough University.

“ The launch of our latest Lightning team brings a new cohort of elite-level athletes, supported by our world-leading performance teams, to our campus.  The team competing on the national stage, will undoubtedly help attract the next generation of top sporting talent to Loughborough University.”

Ross Munro, Strategy & Integration Director, The Recruitment Group, explained the reasons behind its investment in Lightning Cycling:

“We partnered with the Loughborough Lightning cycling team for many reasons, the main being that their ethos to provide the very best education and professional athletic options to their students and riders has a huge amount of synergy with The Recruitment Group’s mission ‘to put people first’.

“Loughborough are the only university to offer this level of competition whilst allowing students to obtain a degree, and we loved that they are doing this and putting their athletes and students prospects first – both on and off the track.

"We’re looking forward to a deeply integrated partnership where we can utilise Loughborough’s performance expertise to support our employees to be the best they can be.  From optimised nutrition and sleep strategies for our teams to national brand coverage through the University’s network and events, we’re incredibly excited to be working with the team from Loughborough Sport.”

Before your observation please stop by the main office for a visitors badge and to sign in.

    As a high-performing school district dedicated to best practices we encourage parent/legal guardian observations on a limited basis. In order to be proactive and ensure positive experiences for our teachers and students, we have created guidelines for classroom observations. It is greatly appreciated that you review these prior to your visit.

    Classroom visitations or observations are limited for the following reasons:

    • Confidentiality
    • Impact on the learning environment
    • Time away from task by staff
    • School safety

    The length of each visit should be no longer than 20 minutes, with a maximum of one (1) observation per semester, unless otherwise approved by the principal.

    Should someone other than a parent/guardian request a classroom visit, he/she must have a signed parental permission form or be accompanied by the parent/guardian.

    Observations should be scheduled (via email) with the site administrator in advance with the following information:

    • Reason for the observation (objective)
    • Position of the observer and relation to the child
    • Specific standardized observational measures to be used (if any)

    To ensure confidentiality of all students and lessen the impact on the learning environment, cameras or video and/or audio recording equipment are not permitted in the classroom.  Observations are for a specific pupil, and information about other children cannot be shared, nor used as a basis for placement, diagnosis, or imperative data specific to other children.

    All observers will be accompanied to the classroom or observation location by the site administrator or an administrative designee. The site administrator or administrative designee shall also make observational notes of the same visitation.

    Additionally, we ask that cell phones be turned off or silenced. Our teachers will be prepared for your visit, so please arrive on time.  If you cannot keep your appointment please call to reschedule (we are unable to accommodate late arrivals).

Allergy ALERT: Here is how to reduce your exposure to allergens plus 5 natural solutions

Reproduced from original article:

by:  | May 9, 2021

natural-allergy-remedies(NaturalHealth365) According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, more than 50 million Americans experience allergies of some sort every year.  And with spring in full swing, millions of us are about to experience the hallmark sneezing, itchy throats, and watery eyes that signal hay fever in full effect.

Want to find relief that doesn’t depend solely on the pharmacy?  Let’s review some of the most effective natural allergy options we know about.

HEPA filters, probiotics, and these additional allergy solutions might give you relief this spring and summer

If you’re trying to stay away from prescription or over-the-counter antihistamines, consider adding a variety of natural allergy relief remedies into your daily routine.  Some may work for you better than others, so experiment with a few.

HEPA filters:  It’s not clear if HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters always or significantly improve allergy symptoms, but we do have some studies that support their use.  For instance, one 2018 study from the Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology found that the use of HEPA filters improved clinical symptoms of allergic rhinitis as well as reduced the amount of particulate matter in the air.

Probiotics:  In 2015, a systematic review of 23 studies concluded that “probiotics may be beneficial in improving symptoms and quality of life in patients with allergic rhinitis,” but note that further research is needed to clarify recommendations.  Currently recommended amounts for probiotic supplements range widely, from 1 billion to 10 billion or more colony-forming units (CFUs).  The scientific plausibility of probiotics alleviating allergy symptoms is considerable, given that probiotics support gut and immune health.

Acupuncture:  Ever tried acupuncture?  A 2015 review of 13 papers, including 2,365 participants, published in the American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy, found that acupuncture appears to be a safe and valid natural remedy for allergy relief.

Frankincense oil:  Inhaling this fragrant essential oil (either by putting it in a diffuser or placing it in a carrier oil and dabbing it behind the ears) may reduce fatigue, ease symptoms, and improve quality of life in people who have seasonal allergies, according to a 2016 randomized controlled trial.  Other essential oils touted for their allergy-relief benefits include peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil.

Quercetin:  Laboratory studies have found that this nutrient — found in foods like broccoli, cauliflower, onions, citrus fruits, grapes, and green tea — prevents the release of histamine, which is a key compound involved in the body’s allergic response.  We don’t have strong human data to prove its effectiveness at reducing allergy symptoms, but anecdotal evidence suggests it offers benefits.  Other nutrients and supplements said to promote allergy relief include vitamin C and the blue-green algae spirulina.

Here are 5 ways to reduce your exposure to allergens

Treating allergies, whether with medications or natural remedies, is important for improving your quality of life.  But preventing an allergic response in the first place matters, too.  Here are five simple ways to avoid your exposure to allergens in your home and community:

  1. Check the pollen forecast:  Input your town and zip code at or a similar resource, so you’ll know how bad the pollen is in your area and will be prepared to take more preventive action.
  2. On high pollen count days, stay indoors and close the windows.
  3. When going outside, wear wraparound sunglasses to block allergens from your eyes, and try putting some Vaseline around your nose to trap pollen particles!
  4. Shower before going to bed to avoid bringing pollen and debris onto your pillowcase and bed linens.
  5. Vacuum and dust regularly.

And, finally, as a “bonus tip,” many integrative healthcare providers will remind you to avoid conventionally-produced dairy products, sugar or flour-based food products because they tend to cause mucus buildup.
