Recycling Medical Supplies

Questions about MERCI?
Calls are only available on Thursdays.
Phone Number
Call 434.982.4499

MERCI has reopened. Please be aware of our new guidelines:

  • Call ahead to:
    • Tell us what items to set aside for you and schedule a pick-up time
    • Schedule a time to visit and shop in person
  • If coming to shop in person, you're required to:
    • Wear a face mask
    • Pause before entering to sanitize your hands
    • Wait for a volunteer to bring you in
  • We are taking time to sanitize between individual visits

Healthcare facilities produce a diverse and overwhelming amount of waste - over 6,000 tons of waste per day. Recycling medical supplies is one way to stop waste, save money and help organizations in need.

Why Does This Matter?

Only about 15% of this waste is considered infectious, which means the remaining 85% is considered solid waste, including materials like cardboard, paper, metal, glass, plastics and unused medical supplies. Roughly 30-50% of what is routinely - and mistakenly - disposed of as regulated medical waste (RMW) could be managed as solid waste.

Recycling medical supplies like these syringes and bandaids helps save money and provide aid to those in need

Aside from costing up to 10 times as much as solid waste disposal, the disposal of RMW involves the use of facility incinerators, which can generate a host of hazardous emissions.

How Recycling Medical Supplies Works

The MERCI program functions at no cost to UVA. Throughout the week, participating departments drop off supplies in the recycling room on the ground floor of the Primary Care Center. Every Thursday, hospital volunteers sort through all of the donated items to ensure they are reusable. The items are then boxed and donated to several different humanitarian organizations.

Supplies from the MERCI Program are used by local, national and foreign groups. Local partners include the Charlottesville/Albemarle SPCA, the Virginia Wildlife Center and the Charlottesville Pregnancy Center. We also work with medical mission groups such as Gleaning for the World and Christian Relief Services, who ship supplies to missions worldwide.

MERCI also fills orders for employees and faculty who participate in medical missions.

Needed Supplies

MERCI accepts the following materials:

  • Supplies that cannot be returned for credit
  • Opened but not used/no patient contact supplies
  • Deleted items
  • Out-of-date items

London vacationers now have options with escorts!

London vacation DTF

Going on a vacation to Europe? Don’t forget to treat yourself to one of London’s best kept secrets: layover escorts!

On my latest trip to Denmark I had to pass through London’s Heathrow Airport. I had several choices on layover times. I could stick around for two hours or as much as ten hours. That got me thinking! What would I do for ten hours in an airport? Hmmm…

After looking up rent escorts in London in Google I found, a low fares London escort agency with some pretty sexy girls. I set up a date with one of them and booked a room at a discount hotel near the airport. We hit it off and she made me feel like I was the King of England. Plus she was so cheap I got her for two hours and then got another one for my last hour before returning to the airport to finish my flight to Denmark. Lets just say it was the best vacation I ever had and I technically hadn’t even arrived to start my vacation (in Denmark) yet!

Don’t call me a ‘rice queen’

Latest posts by Jack Wright (see all)

“So you’re a rice queen now, is that what you’re telling me?”

“What’s a rice queen?”

Feigning ignorance, I tried to catch my fellow expat out as we lay back in our plastic cod-colonial seats in a gay bar in Saigon and fingered our drinks, mine a cheap beer, his a grossly overpriced margarita. Despite my conceited trick of wanting my friend to give me a long and potentially offensive explanation, he was having none of my pretended innocence. Around us were draped and dangled the darlings and despots of the scene. Later that evening we would watch a mock-wedding starring Ho Chi Minh’s finest drag performers, who arrived in otherworldly bridal plumage and walked down an aisle formed of reverent boys, stood choir like, hushed, gratefully taking part in the communion.

“You know what I mean, white guys who only go for Asians”.

I had been dating my Vietnamese boyfriend for six months, and I had only just unwittingly stumbled into this exotic world of rice queens, sticky rice, potato queens, and other assorted characters, which the uninitiated may well expect to meet in an advert for prepackaged convenience foods. I already knew about rice queens from my boyfriend’s description of club nights in Melbourne, where he had gone to university. He described to me nights for white guys to meet Asian guys and vice versa, and a variety of nights catering to other novel combinations. I thought I’d had a fairly comprehensive experience of the scene in the UK whilst I’d been there, but I’d never encountered a club night based on racial preference.

RELATED ARTICLE  Jeremy Jackson cautioned, Ken Morley booted out

Other terms I heard were new to me: yellow fever – having a newly acquired interest in Asian guys; sticky rice – Asian guys who go for other Asian guys; potato queen – an Asian guy who goes for white guys. Yellow fever is used a lot by the straight expats out here too, but they seem to lack similar racial monikers that are endemic in the lingo of gay. I have now heard my fair share of the local expat patois, the winking, smutty language of our international coterie, and although these terms have a punch to them, I don’t like what they imply.

I hardly need to spell out what’s suspect about labelling guys from Asia as rice. It reduces people from one of the most diverse areas of the world, in which more people live than anywhere else, into a stereotyped picture of glutinous homogeneity. And before you cry ‘political correctness gone loopy’, I’m not arguing we all suddenly cut out our tongues and become polysexual uber-beings with a rainbow like array of sexual partners. However, I would like us to think about how the words we use can hide deeper assumptions, and how they cause some of us to feel degraded and ashamed.

Underneath the questionable racism of these names there lurk a few ideas about relationships between people from the West and Asia that don’t seem to go away. Becoming newly enlightened about the possibility of having sex with those who don’t share the same skin colour as you is smuttily referred to as some kind of disease or fetish, the dreaded yellow fever. It is as if one had suddenly developed a serious issue with shoe sniffing or stealing underwear. And just as one can recover from a disease, it is implied that this stage of your life will soon be passed. A brief dabble before returning to the fold.

A few months after I had split up with my boyfriend and returned to the UK my parents remarked that it was for the best, and that I really shouldn’t have thought about bringing him to the UK. That strange disbelief when you hear these views from your otherwise sensible parents: “we can’t go letting in everyone from abroad, there isn’t room!” They’d been happy to humour my relationship whilst I’d been away, but turned their noses up at it becoming a lifelong set up. Why is it that so many relationships between people from the West and Asia are seen as either lighthearted juvenile experimentation or the desperate remedy for an aging libido?

People seem amazed when the sexual proclivities of those around them change and adapt. In the UK I’d fancied the type of people who I’d been surrounded by growing up: my school mates, Jamie from Eastenders or that one with the curtain fringe from A1. Now the blond centre parting does nothing for me. These early crushes tended to be on white people, because one had to look very hard to find any other ethnicity represented as sexy. It is still rare in the UK to find Asian men represented as serious romantic figures in the media. In China, surprisingly, you see Chinese people everyday, in the media and on the street, so it’s no revelation that the looks, fashions and quirks of China begin to develop an appeal.

Desire seems to flow towards whatever object is placed just out of reach. This changes; old loves and interests wax and wane; new locales, loves and privations create new cravings. But for some reason, although we have triumphed over those who said we couldn’t express our desire for anyone other than members of the opposite sex, we now happily package and limit ourselves by the words we use and the damaging ideas we have of what it means to date someone from that still confusing place: abroad.

RELATED ARTICLE  The Good, The Bad And The Geordie

I’m sure the ever resourceful English language will soon gift us new slang that zestily embraces our experiences, and whilst we leave the tongues of our peers to babble and brew up outrages in bars it will do us all good to examine our assumptions about inter-cultural relationships, and question why some of us feel the need to label other people’s desires so readily. Although relationships between people from different countries can present to us all sorts of challenges, they also give us the opportunity for discovery and the breaking of new ground, personal and cultural.

Aquaponics update 28th March 2013

Picture 9c

The basic structure for my greenhouse is now complete though it still requires a concrete floor, windows (thinking of twin walled polycarbonate plastic), electrics and the plumbing of a 4000 liter water tank. Then I can start setting up the Aquaponics system delivered a few weeks ago.

Below is a series of photographs showing the erection of the greenhouse structure.

    So excited for you! Can’t wait to show these photos to my husband. When the kids leave the nest, we may have to look for some acreage. 🙂

    • The carport is 6 meters by 7 meters and will house a 2300 litre fish tank and 6 grow beds, so you don’t need a lot of ground. It is possible to have a balcony Aquaponics system which would provide quiet a lot of veggies for a small family.
      Hopefully the slab will be poured within the next one to two weeks and so I’ll be able to show you the full system set up.
      Thanks for following my adventure Angela.

Ju.miklgito@mail.ru N.msholkina@inbox.ru V.novikov.dv75@mail.ru V.swetlana.shumilova@gmail.com V.mbre@mail.ru V.drkaraulov@mail.ru Federal Medical Research CenterN.I.

Background: Burn injury is accompanied by modulation of the many components of immunity, including the system regulation, which includes soluble forms of leukocyte differentiation molecules. Earlier in burn patients, we detected changes in serum levels of soluble differentiation molecules CD25 (sCD25) and CD95 (sCD25). Despite the existence of data on change of serum level of the soluble molecules CD25 and CD95 in the blood of patients with a burn trauma, there are no data on particular cell producers.

Aims: To conduct the analysis of serum level of the molecules sCD25 and sCD95 in the blood of patients with acute burn trauma in comparison with peripheral blood cells composition to obtain data on the types of cells that produce the molecules sCD25 and sCD95.

Materials and methods: Blood samples from 24 heavily burnt patients aged 16 to 77 years were studied. Determination of sCD25 and sCD95 molecules serum levels was performed by ELISA. Number of CD45+CD25+ lymphocytes, CD45+CD95+ cells, CD14+CD95+ monocytes, CD16b+CD95+ neutrophils, and RFMI (relative mean fluorescence intensity) was evaluated by flow cytometry.

Results: In the first five days of the date of burn sCD25 and sCD95 serum levels tended to increase. sCD25 molecules contents in the blood of surviving and dead patients did not depend on the relative content of CD45+CD25+ lymphocytes, RFMI index, but correlated with the absolute level of lymphocytes and leukocytes. Serum levels of sCD95 molecules showed the dependence on the absolute neutrophil count and leukocytes in the survivors and on the absolute content of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and leukocytes in patients who died.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that the lymphocytes in the early period of burn disease are the main cells-producers of sCD25 and affect the increase of its content in the blood serum not due to changes in the density of CD25 molecules expression on their membrane followed by increased shedding but by increasing the number of CD25 positive cells. The main cells-producers of sCD95 molecules for survivors in the early period of burn disease are likely to be the neutrophils and lymphocytes; in the dead patients, the main producers are neutrophils.

My Relationships

In the diagram above, individuals that are darker, larger and closer to Francis are more important to her than individuals that are smaller, lighter and farther away.

“I want to provide my patients with what they need as quickly as possible, but while also showing each and every one that they are my priority”

My Job

  • PCP, 6 years
  • Full-time, CBOC-based clinician with a panel of 1,280 Veterans
  • 100% Outpatient Clinic averaging 18 patient appointments a day

My Devices & Technology Skills

My Narrative

Dr. Francis is a primary care provider at a Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC). She has been with the VA about six years. Her day is packed solid with appointments and she sees almost 20 Veterans per day from all different service eras.

Dr. Francis is supposed to have a dedicated Nurse, Tech and half-time Admin Clerk on the PACT, but shares each between 3 other PCPs. This is very difficult because it requires that she spend more time doing non-clinical tasks when she would much rather spend more time with Veterans and keep her clinical knowledge up to date with the ever changing pace of modern medicine. She often feels like she has to focus on processing tasks instead of focusing on the health outcomes of her patients.

Dr. Francis is married with an active 9 year old daughter. Despite her dedication to Veterans, she experiences fleeting thoughts of contacting a colleague who stated there is an opening in her practice with better work/home balance and compensation. She regularly misses her daughter’s soccer games and her relationship with her husband is suffering as well. She knows that the private practice position would require interruptions of her home life that she doesn’t experience with the VA. But, she may seriously consider a career change soon if things do not improve.

The “What Ifs” for Struggling Taxpayers

People facing financial difficulties may find that there’s a tax impact to events such as job loss, debt forgiveness or tapping a retirement fund. For example, if your income decreased, you may be newly eligible for certain tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Most importantly, if you believe you may have trouble paying your tax bill, action should be taken immediately. In many cases, there are steps we can take to help ease the burden. You also should file a tax return even if you are unable to pay so you can avoid additional penalties.

Here are some “what if” scenarios and the possible tax impact:

What if I lose my job?
What if I receive unemployment compensation?
What if my income declines?
What if I am searching for a job?
What if my employer goes out of business?
What if I close my own business?
What if I withdraw money from my IRA?
What if my 401(k) drops in value?

Debt Related
What if I lose my home through foreclosure?
What if I sell my home for a loss?
What if my debt is forgiven?
What if I am insolvent?
What if I file for bankruptcy protection?

What if I can’t pay my installment agreement?
What if there is a federal tax lien on my home?
What if a levy on my wages is creating hardship?
What if I can’t resolve my tax problem with the IRS?
What if I need legal representation to help with my tax problem but can’t afford it?

The pearl of Gomel - the Palace of Rumyantsev-Paskevich

The pearl of Gomel - the Palace of Rumyantsev-Paskevich

21.12.2020 Gomel

A gift from the Empress

Памятник Румянцеву в Гомеле.jpg

Once upon a time, in the old era of Catherine II, brave commanders were rewarded not only with orders and letters of commendation, but also with entire towns. At the end of the XVIII century, the great woman Catherine II granted Pyotr Rumyantsev a small town, or, to be more precise, even "the village of Gomel"  for his heroic deeds in the war with Turkey. And along with Gomel he was granted a plot for the palace and money for its construction.

In the beautiful year of 1777, Field-Marshal-General Pyotr Rumyantsev ordered the construction to begin. The most picturesque place was chosen, on the high bank of the Sozh, which offered amazing views of the river and the splendour behind it.  He also invited prominent architects, so the palace in the style of early classicism promised to be flawless. And so it turned out to be.

At the beginning of the next XIX century, it was owned by the sons of Peter Rumyantsev. At first the owner was Nikolai. He  was the chancellor, and a great supporter and patron of the arts. He immortalized his good name by assembling a unique collection of books which later became the basis of the Russian State Library. His brother Sergey, a renowned diplomat and statesman, donated 28,000 volumes for the benefit of the fatherland and enlightenment. It was under the Rumyantsevs' rule that the town of Gomel grew into a prosperous town. Sergey preferred to live in St. Petersburg, however, and mortgaged his Gomel estate, which he later sold to the treasury in 1834.

New life of the Palace

Дворец Румянцевых-Паскевичей.jpg

A new life began for the Rumyantsevs' palace. The palace was bought together with the town by another well-known military commander, Ivan Paskevich, also a participant of the war, but this time with Napoleon.  He was spending his time reconstructing the manor for 15 years, and built a huge park around it. All kinds of vegetation, including exotic ones, were brought in from various parts of Russia and from abroad. Alleys were planted, paths were made, lawns were laid, benches and sculptures were put up, and arbours were built. Beauty and luxuriance finally prevailed on these 18 hectares.

Lavish receptions and balls were organised in the front rooms of the palace which started to be called the Rumyantsevs and Paskeviches' palace. Even the Romanovs attended them. The Paskevich family were great admirers of various kinds of art. A great variety of collections had been gathered by the family: numismatics, watches, porcelain, military trophies, not to mention books. All this became the basis for the Gomel Museum of Art and History in 1919. It was created after the palace had been confiscated by the revolution and its last inhabitants, Prince Fyodor Paskevich and his wife Irina, had left the ancestral home.

Rumyantsev-Paskevich Palace in the XXI century

Набережная в Гомеле.jpg

And here it is, the XXI century. After repairs, reconstructions, and historical twists and turns, the Gomel Palace and Park Ensemble is one of the most beautiful architectural monuments in Belarus. And it is not only the wealth and luxury of the Palace of the Rumyantsevs-Paskeviches, but also the museum fund which amounts 260 000 items: a huge numismatic and ethnographic collection, a collection of paintings, manuscripts and old-printed books, icons ...

Часовня-усыпальница Паскевичей.jpg

It is also a chapel-mausoleum of the end of XIX century - 8 representatives of the Paskevich family are buried in it. Nearby there is the Peter and Paul Cathedral with the relics of Venerable Manefa of Gomel and you can finf here a winter garden in the park. There are a lot of subtropical plants, including a palm tree, which has lived there since 1888. Next to the winter garden is a 40 m tall viewing tower, almost 200 years old and with the same number of steps. In its former life it was the chimney of a sugar factory. It is not necessary to say what aesthetic pleasure awaits everyone who climbs to the top of this ancient chimney.

Finally, the palace and park ensemble is also a park of unbelievable beauty, in the embrace of which as a pearl lies the Rumyantsev-Paskevich Palace. The park is densely populated with 3,000 trees, including two oaks that are over 200 years old. A stroll through such a paradise garden becomes unforgettable! Especially with a little bonus in the form of... squirrels, which are plentiful everywhere here. But most importantly is that you can feed them. Not all people have a chance to get this kind of joy. But everything happens for the first time ever.

The Use of Animated Videos by the Real Estate Industry

Animated Videos by Viewrave

Share on email

We all know that the real estate industry is extremely competitive. Firms in the sector face a continuous challenge to distinguish themselves from the rest of the market firms. To achieve this, companies must have an active online presence and have a marketing plan in place that will make them distinguished and trusted among potential customers.

To be known in the market, real estate agencies can adopt making animated videos a part of their marketing efforts. They have the power to deliver the message most effectively and persuasively.

People frequently get to see companies promote themselves through pamphlets and ads. These sources have not lost their effectiveness, and people want something new and more influential than that.

Animated videos can fulfill their needs as they are concise and engaging, and more captivating than any other medium of communication. The human brain, as studies say, is designed to be more receptive to information when combined with visuals than its basic counterparts.

Real estate companies can use animated videos to promote their businesses. It will gain easier access to sharing it on websites, emails, and social media platforms to market the services and for reaching more customers. Here are some advantages of using animated videos to grow your real estate business:

1. Animated video communicates that you respect the valuable time of the audience:

Animated videos can deliver the most messages within a given short period. In today’s fast-paced world, people hardly have time to study long details about businesses and brands. They look for something concise yet informative.

Animated videos can emphasize services that are of best interest to prospective clients within a short period to real estate businesses. Conveying the business ideas in two to three minutes can be very convenient for the clients.

2. Animated videos increase the sales of the firm:

Animated videos explain the services of a firm better and effectively communicate how the prospects can benefit from the firm’s services. It can elaborate on every possible detail of the firm’s services. Whether you have added new services to your business or expanded to more areas, you can communicate the message most effectively.

You can make the message resonate with the audience and persuade the clients to carry out the desired call to action. It enables the firm to increase its revenue.

3. The firms can win the trust of clients through animated videos:

The clients must be comfortable when dealing with the firm. There is a lot of money involved when dealing with the firm, and clients usually have trust issues when transacting with the business. They fear to be scammed or cheated.

Animated videos can provide the clients with the comfort level they seek by building their trust in the company’s services. It may highlight some of the customer experiences with whom they have dealt and were satisfied with their services. All can help the business build its authenticity in the eyes of the clients.

4. It helps the real estate firm stand out in the market:

People think of many real estate businesses as one operating in small rooms with office furniture set up on a side and an individual sitting across the table working on a computer.

This image may be outdated as many firms have evolved with time.

A real estate firm can change the perception of what clients have in their minds through an animated video. It may highlight how the business has evolved and what services and benefits it has to offer to the market.

5. Animated videos can explain the operations of the firm most effectively:

Animated videos enable the business to demonstrate even the complex processes most simply and straightforwardly. With a combination of text and visuals, the organization may provide an insight to the clients about the Key Business Process and how they ensure the provision of quality services.

By doing this, it will enhance the credibility of the business in the eyes of the market audience as they become satisfied that the firm has the most capable systems and competent staff employed.

6. Animated videos make it easier to target clients:

Animated videos provide a better understanding of clients about the company’s business model. Simple and easy illustrations enable the business to penetrate the business idea into the customer’s minds, which convinces the clients that the firm best suits their needs.

Making animated videos is said to be a vital part of the firm’s marketing strategy. It ensures that your business is ahead of the competitors and is well-known among the prospects. They are the best explainers of the business and have high convincing power compared to other mediums of marketing. They ensure that the business stands out in the market and is the first choice of the market.

Vikings vs. Broncos: A tale of two halves

The Minnesota Vikings got off to their slowest start of the season Sunday afternoon, falling behind the Denver Broncos 20-0 in the first half. The Broncos were able to expose the Vikings secondary, while the Vikings offense just couldn’t find their rhythm.

At halftime, the Vikings made some adjustments that clearly paid off as they outscored the Broncos 27-3 in the second half. In the Mike Zimmer era, the Vikings hadn’t won a game after being down 20 or more points.

It was a completely different team in the second half, where the Vikings did something no other team has done in the past 40 years.

A huge reason for the success in the second half was due to the great performance by Kirk Cousins, who finished his day 29-35 with 319 yards and three touchdowns.

In the second half, Cousins looked as good as any quarterback in the NFL, delivering a few of his best-thrown balls in a Vikings uniform.

Without the strong play of Cousins against a solid Denver defense, Vikings fans would have left U.S. Bank Stadium with the same feeling they had at halftime.

The secondary was a weak point throughout the game, but they stepped up when it mattered most. Jayron Kearse, who finished the Cowboys game intercepting the Hail Mary attempt, sealed the game again today by breaking up a pass attempt to Noah Fant.

With Harrison Smith going down with a hamstring injury, and Anthony Harris already sidelined to start the game, someone needed to step up in the secondary. Kearse, the former seventh-round pick out of Clemson, did exactly that making multiple plays in the final minutes of the game.

The Vikings are now heading into their bye week, which couldn’t have come at a better time. With so many Vikings starters hurt, this week will be crucial for their healing process. In two weeks, the Vikings travel to Seattle for a Monday night matchup between two of the hottest quarterbacks in football in Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson.

Former Vikings QB Taylor Heinicke replaces Haskins in Washington

Things continue to not go great for Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins, the team's 2019 first-round pick.

On Sunday against the Panthers, Haskins was benched after throwing two interceptions. With Alex Smith already out (which is why Haskins was starting in the first place), Haskins' replacement was former Vikings quarterback Taylor Heinicke.

Heinicke started his NFL career with the Vikings from 2015-16.

It was Heinicke's first appearance since 2018.

Vikings LG Dakota Dozier listed as a starter Minnesota should replace

Minnesota's offensive line has improved once again, but the team has a familiar weak spot at left guard.

In the past, Pat Elflein has filled the left guard role and been inconsistent in that spot, though not as bad as some Vikings fans would tell you.

This season, the Vikings moved Elflein over to right guard, placing Dakota Dozier at left guard. Neither of those moves really worked out: Elflein is on the Jets now and Dozier has struggled as a full-time starter.

Bleacher Report thinks it's time for a change. The outlet listed Dozier as a starter the Vikings should...

Tangerine Express IPA – Brewed with tangerine puree and whole pineapple, Stone warns this is still a serious IPA, with “crisp bitterness” and “citrus flavor”. 6.7% ABV

Google Cloud Shell and Private GitHub Repositories [How To]

Google Cloud Shell on Google Cloud Platform

On the Google Cloud Platform, Google provides Google Cloud Shell for free to easily manage your services. Whenever you launch the shell, on the backend, the platform creates a new VM instance to drive the shell. This shell instance will if there is more than 30 minutes of inactivity. Because of this, the persistence between sessions is limited. However there is 5GB worth of storage within you $HOME (~) directory which persist between sessions.

Using Private GitHub Repositories

To use private GitHub repositories, first you have to generate a new SSH key (or use an existing one) and make sure to add it to GitHub.

Because of the limited persistence of Google Cloud Shell, adding the SSH key to the SSH agent will not persist between sessions. To get around this, create a SSH config file ~/.ssh/config and add the following lines to it.

    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Replace ~/.ssh/id_rsa with your SSH key want to use with GitHub. Now whenever you use git to interact with your GitHub repositories, the SSH key is automatically used. And because the config is stored within your home directory, this will persist between all your Google Cloud Shell sessions.

Using Novel Research on Community-Based Problems in Labs

Return to search results | New search

Title of Abstract: Using Novel Research on Community-Based Problems in Labs

Name of Author: Nancy Trun
Author Company or Institution: Duquesne University
PULSE Fellow: No
Applicable Courses: All Biological Sciences Courses
Course Levels: Across the Curriculum
Approaches: Assessment, Changes in Classroom Approach (flipped classroom, clickers, POGIL, etc.), Mixed Approach
Keywords: Service learning, novel research, critical thinking skills, learning communities, writing intensive

Goals and intended outcomes of the project or effort, in the context of the Vision and Change report and recommendations: The pedagogy we are developing and testing, Application-Based Service Learning, combines five high impact educational strategies (learning communities, writing intensive courses, collaborative projects, undergraduate research, and service-learning) to improve the quality of STEM courses at a number of different types of educational institutions. Using a community-based problem, students carry out service-learning to understand the complexity of the problem. They apply the scientific method to study a research question posed by the community problem and are taught technical writing, and laboratory, problem solving and critical-thinking skills.

Describe the methods and strategies that you are using: Faculty from several different disciplines and institutions collaborate on one community problem as a way to make an impact on the problem. Currently, 10 faculty members from eight institutions (community college, 4 year undergraduate college/university and research I institutions) and 7 disciplines (microbiology, physiology, molecular biology, chemistry, geology, architecture and English) collaborate on three community problems. The community problems we have chosen include determining the public health threat from feral cats, determining the impact on the environment when natural resources such as coal and shale gas are harvested and determining how to study and reclaim an industrial brownfield. We have chosen a unique strategy for changing undergraduate STEM courses. We have built a virtual department around a community problem with faculty that are interested and qualified to help solve the problem. Each class that works on a given community problem contributes part of the research needed and defines part of the solution. The problems we have chosen are similar in different areas of the country and a virtual department allows many classes to work collaboratively. Only through collaboration can a significant impact be made.

Describe the evaluation methods that you used (or intended to use) to determine whether the project or effort achieved the desired goals and outcomes: We are using the Critical Thinking Assessment Test, Service Learning Surveys, SENCER-SALG surveys and a novel survey we have developed that examines the interface of novel research and community problems.

Impacts of project or effort on students, fellow faculty, department or institution. If no time to have an impact, anticipated impacts: At this time, we have assessment for individual courses that includes content retention studies, results from the Critical Thinking Assessment Test and the impact of service-learning surveys. We have documented a dramatic increase in content retention after 5 month (58% retention for a lecture course versus 95% retention for an ABSL course). The CAT test results indicated that students in one ABSL course showed a greater gain in critical thinking skills in one semester than most students accomplish in 4 years. A second class showed a statistically significant increase in critical thinking skills. The surveys we use showed that students have a consistent increase in understanding the opportunities in their major and a better understanding of how science impacts their lives. We are currently documenting the details of how to set up an ABSL course and continue to assess student performance using a number of different methods.

Describe any unexpected challenges you encountered and your methods for dealing with them: One challenge is to find or develop assessment to measure learning gains in ABSL courses.

Describe your completed dissemination activities and your plans for continuing dissemination: We continue to add new community problems and courses at different institutions to study specific aspects of the community problems. We currently have 10 faculty members at 8 different institutions across the northeast.

A big protest against the jailing of “Occupy” leaders

Posted on

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Today, Sunday 20 August, a massive protest took place in Hong Kong from Wanchai to Central, before the Court of Final Appeals.

The demonstration was organized by several organizations calling to protest against the imprisonment of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong.

A surprising mobilization

Somehow, the size of the crowd must have come as a shock to the pro-Beijing politicians All indications were that most of Hongkongers had basically given up on the activists.

This abandonment also happened because of divergences between the partisans of a more radical opposition to Beijing’s grip on the city and “calmer” partisans of a more reasoned approach. For this protest, both camps set aside their divergences to call for unity, but it seems apparent that even the activists were surprised by the crowd.

Some of the activists said that they were unable to give a figure for the number of protesters, leaving thus the HK police to number the crowd at a paltry 22,000. That number does not make justice to the crowds marching on Sunday, but then, it was not the crowds of the occupy protests either.

A trans-generational mobilization

The other point to notice as can be seen from the pictures posted, is that the crowd was extremely diverse. It ranged from youngsters to middle-aged or older people. In short, once again, the protest was trans-generational. This testifies to the fears that hongkongers harbour of the end of their freedom at the hands of Beijing. It is also important, because the “occupy” movements  failed partly because of the endless continuation of the movement without an exit strategy. At the time, this alienated the more “adult” component of their sympathizers.

And that is where heavy-handed tactics such as imprisoning activists may end up rekindling the flame that blew off over the antics of the “protesting kids”.

It is however doubtful Beijing will realize that you do not treat a Westernized city the same way as you treat cities which have only known the Communist party. This may set China up for another showdown in Hong Kong.

Whichever way, it seems China’s issues with its independent “special administrative region” are far from over, Liaoning and other shows or not.

After this post was originally posted, another article came out on the subject of demobilization of democracy activists, here.

A noodle shop with over 220 years of tradition. The "Gotosoba" of the Signboard menu has the saying that it presented it to the Tokugawa general. The Sarashina soba with the white waist is own brand. The soup is made from the artisan's attention, two types of hot soup and a soft thick sweet soup with a refreshing taste. It is also nice to be able to blend by oneself and to taste of the favor.

What Delco Kids Really Want to Eat for Lunch

Virtual, hybrid or full-day school. Daycare, no daycare.

Too young for school or daycare, so home with working parents. Or maybe it’s kids of all ages who are now home with stay-at-home parents. Do your kids fit into one of those categories? Do you?

Whatever you’re juggling during “pandemic times,” if it includes kids that means meals … so many meals! At this writing we’re nine months in it, and we don’t know about you, but we’re running out of lunch ideas. We thought we were packing their favorites to go to school, but now have learned how much lunch-swapping was really happening (pre-pandemic, of course).

Naturally, we turned to a few of Delco’s finest — chefs, an artisan shop owner, a winery owner, and a bar chef and sommelier — for some inspiration, a few laughs, and some much-needed help. Grab these ideas from them and their kids of all ages!

When the Kahlil kids gather around the lunch table, it’s grilled cheese for all! We’re talking big, sloppy and hot from the pan (with the buttery goodness still dripping off). Sure, either family chef could make it Instagram perfect, but it’s more fun when the kids help. Twins Taylor and Miles, 7, and Alex, 6, say their favorite part about helping is flipping the grilled cheese in the pan. We couldn’t agree more! You’ll find these kiddos chomping down their hot sandwiches with chips and fruit. Lunchtime is made even more special, as it’s the kids’ long break in the day, so that means moments spent cooking, eating, and squeezing in a movie together.

Owner Jack Cunicelli

We know Cunicelli is into organic and sustainable wine, cheese and foods, and that he’d pass that down to his kiddo. It still surprised us that his 19-month-old, Stella, is able to stand on the “kitchen helper” to lend a hand with meal prep! He says her favorite lunch is, at this age, anything she’ll eat, but notes that she loves pasta so much that she’s been known to shout “pasta!” at 3 a.m. Cunicelli boasts that his tiny chef’s head is also turned by olives, sunflower seeds and raw broccoli. The best part of lunch at home with Stella? Books! There are no devices at the Cunicelli table, but plenty of reading. To that he adds this final pearl: “It’s been a year and if there’s anything that 2020 has taught me it was to work less. It’s been amazing watching my daughter grow and figure out her world. Peace and health in 2021.”

The household is bustling with activity thanks to Olivia, 4, and Miles, 3, yet Razzi Mack manages to keep both the kids and the winery on track. So much so that she opted to interview her kids for this blog and provided these honest, delightful and very kid-like replies — guaranteed to bring a smile to your face! Wouldn’t it be great if all our Zoom meetings were this short, sweet and to the point?!

What’s your favorite lunch?

Olivia: Strawberries, oranges and a jelly sandwich.

Miles: Just peanut butter on bread, strawberries and carrots.

Why is that your favorite?

Olivia: Because it’s very yummy.

Miles: Because it’s so yummy, and I like fruits.

Can you help to make any part of your lunch?

Olivia: I can help cut my food up!

Miles: No.

What jelly do you like on your sandwich?

Olivia and Miles: Berry preserves!

Why do you like to eat lunch at home?

Olivia: I like to eat at home so I can eat with Mommy.

Miles: Because it’s so good. And I eat lunch with my mommy.

(You just let out an “Awwwwww!,” didn’t you?)

This one brought a tear to our eyes, as Moretti’s daughter, Kiersten Shank, is an adult, yet she recalls her childhood favorite — since it’s still top of her lunchtime list. The tear-up part? It’s a family recipe created by Moretti’s mother, whom everyone calls Nonn. Nonn taught Moretti, Moretti taught Shank, and the tradition goes on. We learned that Nonn is 97, that this recipe is easy to make, and that the Moretti women only disclose their ages when they hit 90! We also discovered this recipe uses simple ingredients:

Nonn’s Meatballs

Serves: Depends on how hungry everyone is! Makes about 24 meatballs.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

  • 2 pounds meatloaf mix
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (Nonn likes Progresso)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan or Locatelli cheese, grated
  • Olive oil for frying

  1. Mix all the ingredients together with your hands (or a wooden spoon).
  2. Roll into 2- to 3-inch balls.
  3. Fry in olive oil in batches (don’t crowd pan) until brown; don’t overcook.

Nonn’s Gravy

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 120 to 180 minutes

Total Time: 130 to 190 minutes

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed or pounded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Chianti or dry Italian red wine
  • 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes (Nonn prefers San Marzano)
  • 1 (28-ounce) tomato can water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped, or 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 small carrot, peeled

Special equipment: Pot large enough to hold all meatballs.

  1. Saute garlic cloves in pot in olive oil, being careful not to brown or burn them.
  2. Add wine, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes, water, basil and carrot; cover pot and simmer.
  4. When sauce comes to a simmer, drop in meatballs; cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove carrot before serving.

Garage Sale Permits

About Garage Sale Permits

Residents of the City of Warrensburg are required to have a permit in order to have a garage sale. The reason for requiring this permit is to prohibit continuous garage/yard sales in a residential neighborhood. Residents are allowed to have the sale two consecutive days two times a year. City Ordinance sets the hours of operation for a garage sale between the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The cost of the permit is $1. The permit should be displayed on the premises.

  • City Ordinance prohibits the placement of signs upon utility poles or City right-of-way and authorizes City employees to remove these illegal signs. Violation of this Ordinance and/or the lack of a garage sale permit could result in a fine.
  • Garage sales and sale signage are only permitted at private residences and are not allowed on commercial property.

Obtain a Permit

Garage sale permits may be obtained from the City Collector at City Hall, 102 South Holden.

  • Trauma patient management

    Advanced Trauma Life Support for COVID-19

    We hope that this course will be helpful to you if you are:

    • A newly qualified doctor or nurse
    • A retired doctor or nurse returning to clinical practice
    • A clinician who will now be managing acute trauma where you might not have previously done so in your normal practice.

    The course consists of the following PowerPoint presentations:

    1. Initial Assessment of the Trauma Patient
    2. Airway
    3. Breathing
    4. Circulation
    5. Disability
    6. Adjuncts
    7. Restriction of Cervical Spine Motion
    8. Secondary Survey
    9. Transfer of the Trauma Patient

    We have also provided an e-learning module called 'Initial Assessment and Management' which is part of the Advanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) 10th edition course.

    Each PowerPoint presentation contains unfolding clinical scenarios to contextualise the information within them. There are reflective self-assessment questions to help you build your understanding of the material.

    Also, within some of the PowerPoint presentations we have embedded videos, which will help you understand some practical skills. Viewing these videos should not lead you to think you can now perform the skills without further teaching from other experienced clinicians but they will help you understand what is required.

    The videos have been supplied by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and are, therefore, sometimes not in line with UK practice (technique for surgical cricothyroidotomy, identification of landmarks for chest drain for example). You should be mindful of this - within the PowerPoint presentations there is additional commentary to compensate for this.

    Within the course there is also access to the 9th Edition ATLS® Manual with a brief presentation of changes to core knowledge in the current (10th) Edition.

    The presentations are closely based on the materials taught on the face to face component of UK ATLS® courses and all information is 'ATLS® aligned'. However, if you are an experienced clinician (or ATLS® instructor) and find any significant deviations from ATLS® teaching please let us know.

    We acknowledge help from the ACS in releasing copyright materials for this purpose and also the hard work of ATLS® (UK) steering group members, past and present in developing the source materials.

    Using the modules and associated materials does not confer ATLS® Provider status or any other qualification but we do hope you find them useful in these extraordinary times.
