Salt is a well-known ingredient in the chemical processing industry. Approximately 50% of the chemicals worldwide rely on Chlor-alkali products which come from salt. Chlor-alkali is an electrolysis process using which chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) are manufactured in bulk quantity. Among those three, chlorine is the primary end-product of the Chlor-alkali electrolysis process. Chlorine chemical is a key building block of modern chemistry with widespread use in multifarious industrial applications in the world. This chemical is highly utilized in the production of bleaching powder and agents. These powders and agents are majorly used in the textile and paper industries and general cleaning and disinfecting processes as well. The process and the chemicals obtained by it are gradually gaining grounds as raw materials in synthetic organic chemistry. Currently, it is evolving as an essential component of construction materials, solvents, and insecticides. Thus, the rising value of chlorine through the above-mentioned applications is augmenting the Chlor-alkali market revenue. Hydrogen gas is one of the valuable co-product of the Chlor-alkali process. Its consumption as a fuel in buses and cars is supporting a cleaner living environment in cities. Furthermore, there is a notable shift in consumer’s choice to use an efficient energy source to enhance the surrounding environment, which is creating more growth prospects in the chlor-alkali market. Presently, caustic soda is the third-most-popular chemical in use all over the world. Increase in the requirement for caustic soda from textiles, pulp and paper, detergent, and industrial and municipal water treatment applications coupled with its dominance in aluminum production is driving the growth of Chlor-alkali market. Additionally, Chlor-alkali chemistry is necessary to fulfill many of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For instance, some of these goals are listed as affordable & clean energy and clean water & sanitation. These SDGs are the core aspects of global efforts that are intended to present a superior world for people by 2030. As a consequence of the aforementioned factors, the global Chlor-alkali market was valued at $95.4 million in 2018 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period 2019-2025.

Increase in demand for chlorine, mainly in the manufacturing process of plastics and pharmaceutical products is expanding the Chlor-alkali market size. Chlorine is a chief component in the vinyl chain, whose association with the construction industry accounts for about 30% of global chlorine demand.[1] At present, the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products are improving the chlorine popularity, as these products hold 60% of chlorine by weight and mainly used in building products. In order to satisfy the rising demand for building products, there is a rise in chlorine production. This growing demand for chlorine from the thriving building products industry is directly indicating the growth of Chlor-alkali application in the construction sector. Thus, the Chlor-alkali application in the construction industry is set to grow with a CAGR of 10% through to 2025.

Chlor-alkali Market Dominance in the Asia-Pacific Region:

Asia-Pacific region held a dominating share of 45% in the global Chlor-alkali market as of 2018. It is owing to the rise in demand for chlor-alkali in major markets of APAC such as India, South Korea, Japan, and China. The rise in the shipments of PVC resin is representing the huge consumption of chlorine in China. Furthermore, business strategies such as production plant expansions implemented by the Chlor-alkali market players are also boosting the APAC Chlor-alkali market demand.

Major Players in the Chlor-alkali Market Include:

Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Xinjiang Zhongtai Chemical Company Limited, Hanwha Chemical Corporation, Nirma Limited, Ineos Group Limited, Olin Corporation, Formosa Plastics Corporation, FMC Corporation, Solvay SA, The Dow Chemical Company, Tosoh Corporation, and Tata Chemicals Limited are some of the primary players operating in the global chlor-alkali market. These companies have been continuously concentrating on production capacity expansions in order to strengthen their portfolio and customer base in respective geographies.

Latest Innovations in the Chlor-alkali Marketplace:

· AGC Inc. is one of the leading manufacturers of chemicals, glass, and high-tech materials. Vinythai PCL is a Thailand-based group company. In 2017, AGC Inc. acquired Vinythai PCL to expand the Chlor-alkali business in Thailand. AGC is operating its chlor-alkali business in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam countries of Southeast Asia. The main aim of this business strategy is to improve the share of these companies in the Chlor-alkali market, particularly in this region.

· In July 2018, Nuberg EPC. Bagged a prestigious award. Middle East Chemicals Company Ltd. (Midchem) offered a $53 million turnkey project contract to Nuberg. This agreement not only deals with engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) & lump-sum turnkey (LSTK) services and solutions for chloralkali plant but also for the calcium chloride plant in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In addition to this, it will also fulfill the requirements of Midchem's group company mainly for Chlorine and Alkalies as well. Through this project, the production capacity of the chloralkali plant expands by 60 TPD, which will make the total production capacity of the plant to 120 TPD from 60 TPD. This evinces the Chlor-alkali market growth in the Middle East.

· In 2018, Akzonobel N.V. has targeted to invest in two separate second production lines for chlorine and caustic soda, respectively. It is primarily intended to upgrade the Chlor-alkali plant in Rotterdam. This new production line is expected to run by 2021. There will be a continuous production of chlorine and caustic soda once the plant gets commissioned. This is because of the implementation of e-flex technology works according to the electricity supply and optimizes the cost of the end product. On the other hand, it will work in such a manner that it will satisfy the further demand for chlor-alkali in this region.

· Kemira is one of the foremost players in the chlor-alkali market. This company has decided to increase its production capacity at its Joutseno chlor-alkali site in Finland. This site deals with the production of hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and sodium hypochlorite, which are mainly in pulp & paper and process industries and also in municipal water treatment plants. The investment for the same will be operative from the fourth quarter of 2018. Moreover, this expansion in the production capacity showcases Kemira’s capacity to address the growing necessity for sodium hydroxide in Finland.

Indiana mortgage types

When you get a mortgage in Indiana, there are several options you can choose from, including FHA, VA, and USDA mortgages. The one you select will determine how big a down payment you’ll need, what credit score you should have and all the other requirements you’ll need to meet. But choosing the right mortgage product can be difficult — especially if you’ve never bought a home before.

FHA mortgages are insured by the Federal Housing Administration. They allow for lower credit scores than most other loans. In fact, with some lenders, you may be able to get approved with a credit score as low as 500.

The one caveat with FHA loans is that they require a Mortgage Insurance Premium both at closing and as part of your monthly payment. The exact cost of this varies based on your loan balance and down payment.

VA loans are mortgage loans that are guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Only homebuyers who are military veterans, current military members or their spouses can qualify for a VA loan. Applicants also need to meet certain service requirements, as well as obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from the VA.

VA loans come with some of the lowest interest rates around, and there are also no minimum credit score or down payment requirements.

USDA loans are mortgages backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They’re reserved for buyers in more rural parts of the country, and they’re only available in certain areas. Borrowers also need to fall under the set income threshold for their community. Like VA loans, USDA loans require no down payment.

If you’re still not sure whether an FHA, VA, or USDA mortgage is the best fit for your home purchase, give us a call at (317) 289-3222. We can help point you toward the best option for your budget and goals.

Sofosbuvir and ribavirin for treatment of compensated recurrent hepatitis C virus infection after liver transplantation.

Charlton M, Gane E, Manns MP, Brown RS Jr, Curry MP, Kwo PY, Fontana RJ, Gilroy R, Teperman L, Muir AJ, McHutchison JG, Symonds WT, Brainard D, Kirby B, Dvory-Sobol H, Denning J, Arterburn S, Samuel D, Forns X, Terrault NA.

Gastroenterology. 2015 Jan;148(1):108-17. doi: 10.1053/j.gastro.2014.10.001. Epub 2014 Oct 7.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Interferon alfa-based regimens used to treat recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection after liver transplantation are poorly tolerated, associated with generally modest efficacy, and can interact with immunosuppressive agents. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of an interferon-free regimen of the nucleotide polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir combined with ribavirin for 24 weeks in treating post-transplantation HCV infection. METHODS: In a prospective, multicenter, open-label pilot study, we enrolled patients with compensated recurrent HCV infection of any genotype after a primary or secondary liver transplantation. All patients received 24 weeks of sofosbuvir 400 mg daily and ribavirin starting at 400 mg daily, which was adjusted according to creatinine clearance and hemoglobin values. The primary end point was sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment. RESULTS: Of the 40 patients enrolled and treated, 78% were male, 85% were white, 83% had HCV genotype 1, 40% had cirrhosis (based on biopsy), and 88% had been previously treated with interferon. Sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment was achieved by 28 of 40 patients (70%; 90% confidence interval: 56%-82%). Relapse accounted for all cases of virologic failure. No patients had detectable viral resistance during or after treatment. The most common adverse events were fatigue (30%), diarrhea (28%), and headache (25%). In addition, 20% of the subjects experienced anemia. Two patients discontinued study treatment because of adverse events, which were considered unrelated to study treatment. No deaths, graft losses, or episodes of rejection occurred. No interactions with any concomitant immunosuppressive agents were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Sofosbuvir and ribavirin combination therapy for 24 weeks is an effective and well-tolerated interferon-free treatment for post-transplantation HCV infection.

Music | November 27, 2020 10:44 am

Van Morrison and Eric Clapton Recorded an Anti-Lockdown Single

"Stand and Deliver" is out on December 4

Under different circumstances, it’s not hard to see how the idea of Van Morrison and Eric Clapton teaming up for a new song might be appealing. One of them is among rock’s most acclaimed vocalists and songwriters; the other is a guitarist lauded for his skill and style for decades. That their collaboration would come on a song addressing the present moment opens up a world of possibilities: could they, perhaps, be working on a song in support of first responders or communities whose health is at risk from the pandemic?

2020 being 2020, that’s not actually what brought Morrison and Clapton together. Instead, the two men have teamed for “Stand and Deliver,” a song opposing pandemic-related lockdowns, which is set for release on December 4. The Chicago Tribune has more information on the song, which Morrison wrote and Clapton performed.

That the song takes the position it does isn’t much of a shock: Morrison has spent the last few months speaking out against the lockdown (and being soundly criticized for it.) On one hand, he’s spoken about the economic ill effects of shuttered venues on the music industry, something few people would argue with; on the other hand, he’s referred to social distancing as “pseudo-science” and supported a return to concerts at full capacity. And Clapton has had his own history of taking troubling stances on issues.

Proceeds from the new single will go towards the Lockdown Financial Hardship Fund, Morrison’s initiative to benefit musicians affected by the pandemic. Morrison’s recent songs “As I Walked Out,” “Born To Be Free” and “No More Lockdown” also raised money for the fund.

Wanting to support musicians who are going through a difficult time as a result of the pandemic is eminently understandable; doing so in a way that pits art and science against each other is much more unsettling.

BioRegional says B&Q is 'walking the talk' on sustainability commitments

DIY giant B&Q is walking the talk when it comes to meeting its ambitious sustainability commitments, according to the latest review of progress by BioRegional.

Among top UK retail brands it now has one of the longest and strongest track records for delivering on environmental and social as well as economic benefits.

Since its One Planet Home programme began more than five years ago, B&Q has made cumulative savings on carbon dioxide emissions of 310,000 tonnes compared to the 2006/2007 baseline. That is equivalent to CO2 emissions from heating and powering 68,000 homes for a year.

Highlights in the 2012 review of progress against 37 wide-ranging One Planet Home targets include:

- A reduction of 29% in CO2 emissions against the 2006/7 baseline, despite a 10% increase in total square footage of stores. In 2012 emissions were maintained at their 2011 level – no mean feat given exceptionally cold winter weather last year.
- 91% of B%Q waste materials are now diverted from landfill, with 72% being recycled.
- Overall, nearly 80% of targets have been met, exceeded or are on track to be met.

B&Q’s director of Corporate Social Responsibility Matt Sexton said: “Working with BioRegional enables us to get real feedback on the progress we are making in helping our customers create greener homes and how we are doing in terms of improving our own ethical and environmental standards.

"As an independent report, BioRegional gives the business an honest review of our sustainability record every year; it enables us to see ourselves as we’re viewed. This year’s report highlights that we’re well on the way to reducing our carbon emissions by 90 per cent by 2023, having already achieved a 29 per cent reduction to date."

"2012 was a big year for us as we received recognition from within the retail industry, being named Retail Week’s Responsible Retailer of the Year. This proves that making greener choices over more than twenty years can help transform a business.”

BioRegional undertakes an annual review of B&Q’s performance against its One Planet Home objectives. The latest review also points to important new technologies, projects and in-store innovations, including:

- Introducing 50 dual fuel, low carbon biomethane trucks and planning permission granted for a biomethane refuelling station at B&Q’s new Swindon distribution centre.
- The launch of B&Q Energy Saving - four trial ‘shops within a store’ which sell energy saving and generating products with an expert on hand to advise customers.
- Ultra-low energy LED lighting installed in six stores, with up to 50% power savings.
- Launching the ground breaking Good Woods projects with BioRegional and forestry charity the Sylva Foundation.

Recognition of this progress came in the form of a Queen’s Award for Sustainable Business and the Retail Week’s Sustainable Business of the Year title in 2012. In 2013, B&Q was honoured with The Carbon Award at The Guardian Sustainability Awards and B&Q’s waste manager Sharon Parsons was named National Recycling Champion at the awards.

“It is exciting to see some ideas that have been in the pipeline for quite some time come to fruition such as the introduction of dual fuel biomethane trucks. This process took three times longer than originally anticipated but B&Q’s logistics manager stood fast and overcame numerous hurdles to making it a reality. This is just one example of the tenacity and vision B&Q demonstrates across the organisation.” Sue Riddlestone, CEO and co-founder of BioRegional

But BioRegional’s review is independent and transparent, highlighting a few areas where progress falls short – for example on reducing packaging waste. And while some targets have been updated as part of the review process over the years, several new ones have been introduced since 2007.

Insights Offline Class Students Excel in UPSC Civil Services Mains – 2014 – Success Rate is 70 per Cent

We are extremely proud to announce that 14 out of 20 who wrote Mains Test series (offline) conducted by Insights at Bangalore, have  cleared Mains – 2014. That is 70% success rate. The credit goes to them for working hard and writing all the tests religiously. Few others though worked hard, could not make it this time. But, we are very certain that they will be successful in their next attempt.

We are happy that each one of the successful aspirants either called us or sent message to express their happiness on seeing their result.

A Brief Background

On August 26, 2014 (as soon as 2014 Prelims got over), we announced our intention to conduct Mains offline Test Series. We posted a Feedback form with few questions for interested aspirants to fill and express their desire to join our classes. It was posted at 6.02 pm. And by 6.30 pm,  65 aspirants had filled the form and submitted it for consideration. We removed the post at 6.34 pm (because we just wanted 20). Out of them we chose 20 based on following criteria.

The main criteria was:

1) They should have at least written a Mains, if not, should have been a regular follower of Secure initiative, or a regular follower of the website.

2) They should be willing to come to Bangalore and stay here for 3 months

Because it was difficult for aspirants from outside of Karnataka to come and stay in Bangalore, and then again go back to their states to give Mains, we chose aspirants who were already residing in Bangalore (majority of them non – Kannadigas) and few from Hyderabad who were willing to come to Bangalore.

Of the 20, few (4-5) didn’t join our classes citing various reasons. But vacancies were later filled by others who came late and joined.

Out of 20 aspirants, six were freshers. Three had given interview once. Two were already successful in 2013 exam (One IAAS and other IPS). Others had written Mains (once between 2011 – 2013).

This brief introduction is to stress the point that Writing Practice helped them a lot irrespective of their background – whether fresher or an experienced aspirant. We didn’t conduct any entrance to choose them. We just wanted someone who could seriously follow our timetable, write all tests and follow our feedback. Our intensive Test Series was suited to aspirants who had already read substantial part of the syllabus at least once. Hence, we considered taking in those who had given at least one Mains.

We did not feed them any information. They did self study and excelled.

Below are the names of the Successful Candidates who participated in Insights Offline Test Series for mains – 2014 (We are not posting one name because that person requested us not to post his/her name citing privacy concerns):

1) Nitish

2) Neha

3) Seema

4)  Mahendra

5) Gagan

6) Swamy

7) Kiran

8) Madhu

9) Balaji

10) Naveen

11) Apoorva

12) Satish

13) Sameer

14) (Not Disclosing due to Privacy concerns)

(Names are randomly posted)

We, on behalf of Insights, and on behalf of all followers of, wish them all the Best for their interview. Their final result depends on their performance in interview. They need our (and your) wishes and support. They are all nice persons. We are very sure that they will do well in interview and come out with flying colours.

There are followers of the website who might have cleared Mains (we will never know who they are unless they let us know). We wish them good luck as well.

We would like to reiterate that we are just facilitators. It is their hard work which has brought them success. We do not claim credit for their success. We understand how hard it is to devote 2-3 years into this exam preparation, to go through many failures and then to emerge successful. It is all their pain, their gain.

We just conducted tests consistently, gave them feedback and asked them to improve wherever they lacked. They believed in us and worked hard. 80% of them attended all the Tests (either in class or at home).

Few things we observed: they were hard working, consistent, passionate and down to earth. They will become good officers for sure.

Other who did not succeed also possessed these qualities, but it seems somewhere something went wrong (very difficult to figure it out). As said earlier, they too will succeed. They should keep their hope alive and start again (though it’s boring and difficult). Failure should always inspire us to take up new challenges and come out as successful.

We intend to conduct Offline Mains Test Series again this year but only for 15 aspirants. We will do everything to give 100 % result this year. We will notify about this after 1-2 months.

We want to confess that we were not perfect. We sometimes did not give answer scripts on time. Sometimes (but rarely) tests were postponed. Yet,  somehow we conducted all the tests sticking to one plan and timetable.  We didn’t experiment.  This is to let you know that Perfection is a difficult (or impossible) thing to achieve and your expectations should be in consonance with this time-tested truth.

Once again, we wish you  success in all your endeavours. Thank you. 🙂

ISP Working Paper | The Nagorno-Karabakh Tension

Such a severe aggravation of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh has not been observed since 1994 the time when the conflicting parties reached an agreement on a ceasefire. By September 27, 2020, the situation in the military-political plane has reached its peak. On the morning of September 27, in response to another shelling of Azerbaijani positions by the Armenian armed forces, the Azerbaijani side took large-scale actions along the entire front line in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone, thereby resuming full-scale military operations, pursuing the goal of militarily liberating the remaining  Azerbaijani territories which were under occupation over 26 years. The negotiation process was completely disrupted. This working paper analyzes the rationale and the reginal as well as international implications of the current events.

Yoga for Apnea? – Leading Authority in Thyroid Treatment
Crunchy, salty and healthy!
March 19, 2013
Health Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds
March 25, 2013

Yoga for Apnea?

Are you more tired than you should be? Do you get edgy too easily? Are you prone to headaches in the morning?

Something you may not have thought to be a possible culprit is sleep apnea. We suspect this with the above symptoms. This is more suspicious when someone is known to snore, have trouble staying asleep, or breathe erratically at night.

Here’s a quirky hint that you might have apnea: your dreams may be clues. Even though we are asleep, our brain retains some awareness of our body’s experience as we dream. Oftentimes these experiences are translated into our dreams. Ever dream of trying to find a bathroom before waking up and using one for real? This is a great example.

Dreams of flying, dreams of being underwater, dreams of smoking or breathing through a straw can all be common signs of apnea.

Apnea is a big deal. It raises the risk for stroke, dementia and heart attacks. Oh yeah, it can also cause weight gain.

Classic apnea sufferers are male, overweight, alcohol users and stressed. Yet younger, lean, non-drinking females can still have it.

Many who have suspected apnea have been resistant to do any thing about it for fear of having to struggle with the breathing devices called CPAP machines.  Since apnea is related to muscular weakness of the throat, many suspected that exercises could help with it without the need to sleep in a diving apparatus.

image.axdSeveral large studies have shown that this can work. Some involved detailed specific exercises, some involved normal training in musical wind instruments. One showed that playing the Didgeridoo can work also. Likely the loincloth is optional.

If you have suspected apnea, take is seriously. Those who suffer from it report life changing benefits when it improves.

CEL achieved a milestone during Covid-19 period by commissioning a Solar Power Plant with cumulative capacity of 9MWp in Maharashtra

Sahibabad  ,

When the whole world has been reeling under the Covid-19 crisis, Central Electronics Limited, a leader in Supply, Installation and commissioning of Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) has achieved another milestone by commissioning Ground Mounted Solar Power Plants with a cumulative capacity of 9MWp in the 1st quarter of financial year 2020-2021) for the Innovative project “Solar power for Agricultural Feeder”.

Aiming to provide regular power to farmers through agricultural feeders, the Maharashtra government has undertaken many 0.25 MW-10 MW capacity solar projects under the Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana . The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Corporation Ltd (MSEDCL) is the nodal agency for the project and EESL is the main contractor. The ground-mounted solar projects are being set up in notified areas.

Shri Bholanath Sarkar, Chairman and Managing Director of Central Electronics Limited lauded the efforts of CEL’s engineers and officers in achieving the commissioning of 9MWp Solar Power Plant during pandemic situation. He appreciated  the trust and support given by EESLand said that the company is committedfor achieving the target of 120MWp solar power plant installations in Maharashtra during this financial year. Thecompany hasalready commissioned 38.5MWp Grid Tied Ground Mounted Solar Power Plantsat 46 sites in Maharashtra and work is in progress at 10 sites with cumulative capacity of 10MWp during this difficult situation. These power plantsare connected to dedicated Agricultural Feedersand the electricity generated is for the use of farmers.

Giving the details, Mr. Manoj Kumar Sharma, PRO told that the company has commissioned its largestgrid connected ground mounted solar PV power plant atsingle location of capacity 3.24 MWp on 29th June 2020 at Ansarwada. CEL followed it by commissioning of another 2.8 MWp Solar Power Plant at Panchancholi in Latur district on 30th June 2020. The output of these solar power plants is fed to the MSEDCL substation of 33/11 KV at Ansarwada and Panchancholif respectively, at a distrance of 5kms. Apart from these, CEL has commissioned solar power plants of 1.1 MWp at Selu, and 1.8 MWp cummulative at Redani, NimgaonKetki and Dahitane taking the total installed and commissioned capacity during the Covid-19 lockdown period to 9MWp.

The power plantsat Ansarwada and Panchancholif are special in the sense that the complete work i.e. starting from land development till power evacuation has been carried out by the CEL.

Mr. Manoj Sharma informed that the first solar energy plant under the Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojanain Maharastra was commissioned at Wavi in Sinnar taluka and was linked to the state power distribution utility’s electricity grid on Sunday 16th September 2018. In these power plants, feeder separation allows supply of electricity to agricultural and non-agricultural consumers through dedicated feeders. The Maharashtra government’s solar agri feeder scheme allows the power produced to be supplied to the grid and used locally for agricultural purposes.

CEL’s expertise and commitment towards nation’s vision for solar power has lead to timely completion of projects in remote locations and during the Covid-19 crisis period.

These solar power plants will provide Quality and reliable daytime electricity to farmers and boost agricultural output, savings on the Transmission network cost and reducedT&D losses for DISCOM. It will contribute to the nation’s vision of 100 GW solar capacity by 2022 and will act as a catalyst to enhance India’s position as a global green power.

March 4, 2015

I am surrounded by overachievers. I have been ever since I was young; at first, it was because my parents ensured that I was spending time with other children who were demonstrating potential, and then it became a conscious choice of mine to surround myself by people who could inspire me and motivate me to be better than I was. I’ve always espoused the notion that it was never good to be the smartest person in the room, and that you are a reflection of the people who are closest to you. As such, it made sense that my circle of friends—even acquaintances and those I correspond sporadically, really—are people who are incredibly smart, driven, motivated, and accomplished.

The merits of such an approach were obvious to me growing up: healthy competition in high school encouraged me to pay more attention to my production, and having smart people around me in college encouraged me to devote more time to my intellectual pursuits than I probably would have without their impetus. In my early 20s, the career and family achievements of the people I knew and cared for helped give me drive and focus for what I wanted to accomplish; by then, it wasn’t competition, but instead a recognition that if the people around me could do amazing things, maybe I could push myself to do amazing things as well.

I’ve been lucky and privileged to have had a pretty eventful—some would say, successful—career in the past decade or so since I graduated from university. I have had the chance to live and work in several cities around the world, and to contribute to impactful projects at recognizable organizations, all in the public sector. I was motivated by the overachievers in my life to overachieve, at least in my career, myself.

There were other parts of my life, however, that were less fulfilled, and it was in this arena that the dark side of overachievement began feeling oppressive. While friends were getting married, having children, buying homes, and saving for their retirement, I was jumping from city to city and in no state to begin thinking of these so-called grownup” parts of life. I was happy for my friends who were having all these personal accomplishments—I realized very quickly after high school that competition wasn’t a very good motivator for me—but I couldn’t help but think that I was falling behind, and that I needed to fix that lag.

Three years ago, a confluence of things happened that caused me to (overly-critically) evaluate my life and (unhealthily) compare where I was to others in my world. This was not a good time for me, but it was also exactly what I needed.

I spent a long time in cognitive-behavioral therapy (something I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for some guidance at a particularly trying time of life) and learned many things about myself and how I see life. The revelations that came through CBT were manifold, and I can’t go into all of them here, but one of the ones that was clear is that the notion of overachievement had become unhealthy for me. Instead of being inspired and motivated by the accomplishments of others, I was judging myself and finding myself lacking.

The resolution of all the CBT included a new self-realization that I was okay, that I didn’t have to always be pushing myself to do more. These days, I have a better sense of who I am and a deeper appreciation of what I’ve already done. What I am now, the relationships I have with the people I care for—these are all achievements that I need to celebrate. I don’t need to do everything, and more importantly, I don’t need to feel bad about not doing everything, either.

Last week on Quartz, Andrew Yang, founder and CEO of Venture for America, wrote a piece titled The dark side of America’s achievement culture. In it, he argues that the culture of achievement that we have created is actually a hindrance to the full realization of our potential, that by measuring ourselves against our accomplishments, we are actually hindering the realization of our potential:

In his book Excellent Sheep, William Deresiewicz describes the current generation of strivers as driven to achieve without knowing why.” And then they become paralyzed when they’re not sure how to proceed.

I jokingly call the hang-ups associated with a drive to achieve as the Achievement Demons.” When I was growing up, I’d study for days trying to get good grades. When I’d get an A,” I’d feel elation for about 30 seconds, and then a feeling of emptiness. Rinse and repeat. […]

I’d say it took me about seven years after leaving the law firm to let the demons go—to not feel like I was always falling behind my own expectations, or what my peers were doing, or what my parents thought, or my own supposed potential; to view my time intrinsically, as well as instrumentally. And this was the point at which I was able to meaningfully contribute to the success of an organization (and form healthy relationships), in large part because I was more at ease with myself and others.

I’ve learned my demons aren’t just mine. Thousands of young people share the same thirst to achieve that I had (and still have)—rising out of family pressures, alienation, and an identity that they’re smart or talented or special or destined to do something significant. On the plus side, it can make them hard-charging, industrious, and willing to put themselves out there. On the flip side, it can be paralyzing. It can lead to depression, a sense of isolation, even self-destruction. I think it’s harder in an era of social media, where there’s always something you’re missing. FOMO (fear of missing out) is the enemy of valuing your own time.

In the piece, he describes a few ways to battle those demons and come to a place where you can be at peace with who you are and what you do. These include changing context for comparison, finding value beyond the résumé, and taking care of yourself; some of these methods seem obvious, but it was important for me to see them reiterated here and shared widely.

I won’t pretend that I still don’t battle those demons, but I am definitely better at contextualizing them. Therapy was good for me for many reasons, but one was that it gave me methods to process and deal with the achievement demons in a way that works uniquely for me.

I still surround myself by people smarter than I am, more accomplished than I am. I still relish in the achievement of others, and I am still proud to say that the people in my life are all overachievers in their own way, whatever that term has come to mean. These days, I am better at celebrating their achievement without using it to judge myself. These days, I use the accomplishments of the people I love not to push me to do more, to go further, to attempt the impossible, but instead to inspire me to appreciate what is possible.

Product Details

These sheets have a plastic masking on the top side only. The back is not masked and may have minor scuffs and scratches.

This acrylic works great both in a laser cutter and on a CNC mill like the X-Carve.

Instructions for Engraving and Cutting 2 color acrylic sheets

Please note these are intended as ‘a starting point’ and adjustments in 5% increments may be needed to achieve optimal results.

Engrave Settings: @ 40 power / 90 speed / 400 DPI Cut @ 30 power / 15 speed / 1000 hz.

Bottom Up Engraving: Change the orientation of your laser to begin engraving from the bottom of the material upwards. This simple process will minimize the amount of residue being exhausted over previously engraved material which can re-deposit on the warm core and make clean up difficult. You can change the orientation of your laser to bottom up engraving from the advanced tab in your print driver.

PPI Settings: Lowering the number of pulse firings per inch, particularly when engraving larger text or objects, will help keep the material cooler minimizing warp tendencies. Setting your PPI at 400 for photo engraving helps to minimize the ‘banding effect’ often experienced with this fabrication process.

Vector Cutting: When your application will permit, we recommend leaving the protective masking in place when performing vector cuts. This will minimize burn residue and clean up efforts. Ensure laser is properly focused to ensure clean, smooth cuts. Note: PPI’s over 400 when used in vector cutting are likely to cause of tacky edges.

iPhone LCD Screen Repair and Replacement in Quilcene, Washington

There’s a big difference between the two parts of an iPhone screen: the LCD below and the Glass on top are two separate pieces. 80% of the time, when an iPhone screen is cracked, that means the glass part is broken. The glass is easier to fix than the LCD. If your LCD is broken, that’s a bigger problem. You can’t simply ignore a broken LCD like you might be able to with the broken glass on the surface layer. If you’re looking at a cracked LCD you’ll see that it might not work at all: sections of the screen could be black, or not working at all. The display might look wrong in all different ways, and the touch screen would work incorrectly. Broken LCDs are serious.

How do you know if your LCD is broken? The most common way to tell is to look for patterns which are out of place, or lines across the screen which shouldn’t be there. These symptoms can signal that the screen is simply bugged out, but may also signal that it’s getting worse. When your touch screen stops responding or responds incorrectly, that’s an even more serious sign. You should get it checked out immediately.

Anyone who uses and iPhone can probably tell you a story about how easily the screen can crack.

Obviously this can make it really hard to see what’s actually showing on your display, and in some cases you might have dead zones, or parts of your touch screen that stop working where the cracks are. Worse than that, your cracked iPhone is going to be just as appealing as a broken Rolex watch, or a torn up leather coat. It certainly won’t attract any compliments.

iPhone Digitizer Repair in Quilcene

In 2007, the iPhone touch screen revolutionized how people thought about a smart phone. Prior to the iPhone, using keyboards with dozens of buttons on a tiny phone was considered normal, and the touch screen was brand new. This brand new touch screen helped developers create all kinds of new never before seen apps. But the touchscreen itself is also dependent on something- a digitizer. The digitizer tracks your finger across the screen and sends it to your iPhone’s CPU, it is physically attached to your iPhone’s screen.

The key issue with the iPhone digitizer is that it usually needs repair or replacement whenever your iPhone screen gets heavily damaged. A broken digitizer can mean that your touch screen stops working completely, that makes it pretty much impossible to use an iPhone. Digitizers are commonly broken due to the iPhone being dropped, but they can simply break down on their own. Signs of this include a very slow response from your touchscreen, areas of the screen not picking up movements, or apps opening and closing themselves seemingly at random.

Royal Belum Welcomes 10 Different Hornbill Species

By Rosli Mansor

Royal Belum Forest Reserve - Perak MalaysiaThe Royal Belum Forest Reserve is an important biological resource for the country as well as a valuable natural breeding ground for plants and animals. Amongst the different native species that nestle in the forest of Royal Belum, the Hornbill family is one of the valuable species that can only be found in the Asian and African Continent.

Amidst the lush green forest that is 130 million years old, tourists can witness the calm and soothing environment while witnessing hundreds of Hornbills flying freely among the woods. Even though the species may seem invulnerable, it is actually on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) list of threatened species due to habitat loss and illegal poaching.

The Different Hornbill Species in Peninsular Malaysia

Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) is currently taking the initiative in protecting the different endangered species in Malaysia, especially the Hornbill species in Temengor and Royal Belum starting from year 2014.

MNS’s Right Conservation Manager, Yeap Chin Aik, said that the forest reserve of Royal Belum-Temengor, Perak and Ulu Muda, Kedah is currently the habitat of at least 10 of the total 54 species of the birds in the entire world. On the other hand, Sabah and Sarawak only has 8 different Hornbill species. Other countries such as Indonesia and Thailand also have about 13 different Hornbill species each.

“The two different locations in Peninsular Malaysia are iconic tourist attractions that have managed to attract tourists from all over the world. Since year 2004, the society has been conducting its conservation efforts on a small scale,” he said.

He also added that the conservation efforts will last for an estimation of 10 years and that the main population of Hornbills rely largely on the size of the Malaysia’s rainforests.

Royal Belum Forest Reserve - Perak MalaysiaThe Living Habitat of Hornbills

The Hornbill or also known as the ‘Buceros’, is a group of bird that could be easily identified by the general public due to their striking coloured feathers and their long beaks. Moving in packs, they possess a soft horn-like beak that is mostly orange or yellow in colour, and is known to love to land on the Pokok Ara due to the amount of fruits the tree bears.

Hornbills also have a very unique living practice whereby they rely on other species such as the Woodpecker and tree insects or the natural process of the tree to build holes within the tree or branches. These tree holes will then be selected by the female Hornbill and evaluated whether it is a suitable habitat for her to build a nest for her babies. A female Hornbill can produce up to six eggs during her breeding period. The suitable tree hole will then be covered in her faeces, food waste or soil until a single small hole is left for the male Hornbill to provide food.

The food including a mixture of Ara fruit, worms or insects will then be stored in the beak of the male Hornbill and sent to the babies and the female Hornbill living in their nest. The male would continue the process for about two to three times a day until the babies are ready to leave the nest.

After sometime, if the female and her babies are too big for the nest, the female will choose to break out from the nest and rebuild the wall to secure her babies; she will then join the male bird in search of food to feed her babies. Other species might differ, where instead of the mother, the baby hornbills will break down the walls on its own without the help of the adult birds. The breeding period of Hornbills may vary from three to seven or eight months.

Migration Behaviour of the Hornbills

The Plain-Pouched Hornbill are amongst the different species that migrate to our thick rain forests during the months of August till September. The Plain-Pouched Hornbill is included in the IUCN’s list of endangered species and only an estimated 7000 full-grown birds are currently found in the world.

The Oriental Pied Hornbill and Rhinoceros Hornbill are also amongst the 10 species that are often found in Royal Belum and Temengor forest.

Royal Belum Forest Reserve - Perak Malaysia

Perak’s Tourism Attraction

Royal Belum is set on its course to preserve the vast rain forest that attracts millions of Hornbills every year. The forest that is presumed to be safe and untouched by development would be kept as such with the efforts made by MNS. The society will be doing its very best to ensure that the birds are undisturbed even with the growing amount of tourists visiting the forests.

Royal Belum the oldest forest in the world, topping even the famous Amazon, is one of the country’s most prized possessions and also Perak’s pride and glory. Paying a visit to the forest once, might not be enough, seeing as it is filled with mysteries that are waiting to be unravelled. So do grab your bag and journey on a quest to discovery as Royal Belum serves to enchant its visitors with the beauty of nature and its unruffled scenery.

1.1    Background of the study

People over time have devised various techniques for communicating their thoughts, needs and desires to others. In early civilized times, people achieved adequate communication through speech and written messages. Communication in teaching and learning situation were mainly done using a teacher-centered education system in the past few years (Adeyinka, Adedeji, Majekodunmi, Adika & Adeyinka, 2011) when the conventional way of teaching was the order of the day. The teacher was seen as the sole source of knowledge and the students were “mere receipients” of his/her information. Chalk and talk methods were used in delivering lectures to students and pupils in schools.

The emergence of information communication technology (ICT) has affected all aspects of life (Nadira, Kamal & Banu, 2010). ICT has become an indispensable part of our contemporary world. No wonder the use of such terms as e-nursing, e-commerce, ebanking, e-medicine, e-government, e-learning and e-education just to mention but a few, to show how such aspects of life revolve round technology. ICT materials are adapted to carry out some routine activities in almost every aspect of life. ICT includes any equipment or interconnect system of equipment that is used in the automatic acquisition, storage, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission or reception of data or information resources (National Information Technology Policy, 2010). This policy equally sees ICT as computers, ancillary equipment, software and firmware (Hardware) and similar procedures, services (including support services) and related resources.

To the Federal Ministry of Education (2010) ICT means all equipment, tools (inclusive of traditional technologies of radio, video and television to the newer technologies of computers, hardware, firmware, etc) as well as the methods, practices, processes, procedures, concepts and principles that come into play in the conduct of the information communication activities. Globally, the emergence of ICT has stimulated rapid development in all sectors of the economy, especially in the socio-cultural and political spheres of life (Akanbi, 2005, in Olatokun, 2009). Ajayi (2003) noted that ICT is redefining the way almost everything is done and is a ready tool for all strata of the society. Danner (2013) stated that ICT has transformed the world into a large global connected community and play an increasingly important role in people’s lives.

Previous studies like those of (Idowu, Cornford & Bastin, 2008) and (kambi, 2005) have highlighted advantages and disadvantages that nations, institutions and industrial sectors would face if they did not position themselves to harness and implement ICTs as tools for leveraging their activities in the emerging global economy. In educational sector, ICT has been continuously linked to higher efficiency, higher productivity, and higher educational outcomes, including quality of cognitive, creative and innovative outcomes (Adeosun, 2010). ICT is often perceived as a catalyst for change, change in learning approaches and in access to information (Watson, 2005) and can help by providing alternative possibilities for education (Casal, 2007, in Danner 2013). For both social and economic reasons students will need computer and communication technology skills to live successfully in a knowledge-based society (Danner, 2013). The knowledge, access and use of ICT are becoming integral part of education in many parts of the globe (Ololube, 2006).

To Danner (2013) education is the first and best key area for ICT application. Use of different ICT has become inevitable for students in learning. By using modern ICT, students and teachers can retrieve required information within a short time. Use of ICT has the potential to become cost-effective as it offers greater flexibility regarding time and location of teaching and learning, (UNESCO 2003). ICT also provides greater flexibility to adapt teaching and learning to meet the learners’ cognitive and learning styles. ICT offers the learners the opportunity to work at their own pace. Betts (2011) affirmed that ICT can enhance the quality of learning where its use is tailored to lesson objectives and the needs of the learners. The use of ICT in teaching is a relevant and functional way of providing education to learners that will assist in imbibing in them the required capacity for the world of work. Very few jobs today do not require the use of skills in technology, collaboration, teamwork and information, all these can be acquired through teaching and learning with technology.

ICT fundamentally changes the way we live, learn and work. On the other hand, there are documented hindrances to using ICT in spite of its numerous benefits to both teachers and students. The factors hindering both teachers’ and students’ readiness and confidence in using ICT include teacher’s lack of expertise with ICT, lack of confidence in using ICT by both teachers and students. Other factors include; insufficient knowledge of appropriate software and insufficient knowledge and skills on how to use ICT equipment, lack of knowledge of how to evaluate the use and the role played by ICT in teaching and learning is also another factor hindering use of ICT by both teachers and students (UNESCO, 2012). Ofodu, 2007 in (Ajayi, Ekundayo & Haastrup, 2009) enumerated ICT tools used by both teachers and students to include; computers specifically; internet, telephone, digital camera, and overhead projector. Other ICT materials include; compact disc-read only memory (CD-ROM), teleconferencing, audio-cassette tapes and video tapes, interactive television, electronic board, optical fibres, electronic notice board, slides, radio among others.

Teachers and students turn to ICT for various reasons such as removing distance from education and making knowledge more accessible to all. Development of a lifelong learning culture and the capacity to empower learners by providing them with multiple pathways that offer choices and channels to meet their education and training needs (UNESCO, 2003) is another reason why people use ICT. ICT is cost-effective as it offers greater flexibility regarding time and location of training delivery. ICT also provides greater flexibility to adapt teaching and learning to meet learners’ cognitive and learning styles. Teachers and nursing students have the obligation to know, access and use various instructional aids including modern ICT tools during their course of teaching and learning. This is because ICT is redefining the way almost everything is done and is a ready tool for all strata of society including education.

ICT is changing the way people teach and learn, thereby offering new alternatives to the traditional classroom methods of teaching and learning. Teachers and students who are unaware of existing ICT may lose an important opportunity to make use of the positive features (cheap, safe, effective and accessible) of ICT as well as teach and learn accordingly. Teachers and students may not be able to harness all the benefits of ICT in Nigeria.

Ofodu (2007) noted that Nigeria is a nation with constant power outage and poor infrastructural material supply in every stratum; her institutions of learning are not exempted as well. There may be lack of general information, access or misinformation about ICT used by both teachers and students during teaching and learning. The knowledge, access and use of ICT during teaching and learning of nursing sciences are unknown. Studies carried out in Nigeria on ICT use were among the Reproductive Health Workers (Wole &Olufunke, 2009), ICT use in Nigerian Secondary Schools (Ajayi, Ekundayo & Haastrup, 2009). Adetimirin (2012), ICT literacy among undergraduates in Nigerian universities and Wole & Olufunke, (2009), provided information on Information on ICT use among Reproductive Health Care Workers (RHWs). The present study was conceived based on the fact that to the researcher’s best knowledge there has not been any study done on ICT knowledge, access and use among teachers and students in the Department of Nursing Sciences, University of Nigeria Enugu Campus (UNEC).

The National Policy on ICT in Education and Framework launched in 2010 presents a holistic and broad vision for ICT integration in the education sector in Nigeria. This policy moves beyond a basic technology literacy approach. Rather, the policy focuses on leveraging technology to transform the roles of the teacher and the learner in the classroom. In developed countries, the use of ICT by teachers and students in education has been widely studied and documented especially the positive influence of ICT in education (Kay, 2006; Mur-ray, Nuttall & Mitchell, 2008). Studies have also been conducted on the use of ICT by teachers and students in teaching and learning in developed countries where the use of ICT has advanced, and where there are resources and materials to maintain them (Adeyinka, Adedeji, Majekodunmi, Adika & Adeyinka,2011). Very few studies have been carried out in Nigeria on the use of ICT in education (Ololube, 2006). These studies were limited to attitude and competence in the use of computers by academic and non-academic staff in Nigerian higher institutions. Unfortunately there were limited documented studies on knowledge, accessibility and use of ICT in education generally in Nigeria, and none was found in relation to nurse educators’ and student nurses’ knowledge, accessibility and use of ICT in Nursing Education.

The specific objectives of this study were to:

1.  Ascertain students’ and teachers’ knowledge of ICT in Department of Nursing UNEC.

2.  Determine accessibility to ICT among nursing students and teachers of Department of Nursing UNEC.

3.  Investigate students’ and teachers’ use of ICT Department of Nursing UNEC.

4.  To determine the constraining factors to use of ICT as perceived by students and teachers.

Hypothesis One

HO:  There is no significant difference in the knowledge of ICT between students and teachers

HI:  There is significant difference in the knowledge of ICT between students and teachers.

Hypothesis Two

HO:  There is no significant difference in the use of different ICT types among students at different level of study.

HI:  There is significant difference in the use of different ICT types among students at different level of study.

The findings will reveal whether both teachers and students actually understand what ICT means, whether they have access to ICT and also to what use they put ICT tools. This will help in academic decisions and review of teaching and learning process where necessary. Teachers will utilize the information from the study to plan teaching-learning activities to include softwares, hardwares and programmes to make teaching and learning easier, faster and learner centered. The findings will as well provide data for student’s and teacher’s individual decision making. To the authorities; especially Departmental and the University administrators, the findings will serve as a guide to design appropriate in-service training programmes to update teacher’s skills in ICT as well as integrating ICT into curriculum for students; to enhance their knowledge and use of ICT in relation to teaching and learning. To the stakeholders, it will give them insight on the activities of the Department in terms of ICT in the Department and plan programmes according to determined needs.

The study is delimited to determining the knowledge, access and use of ICT. It is also delimited to undergraduate students and teaching staff of the Department of Nursing Sciences, University Nigeria Enugu Campus. The researcher encounters some constrain which limited the scope of the study;

AVAILABILITY OF RESEARCH MATERIAL: The research material available to the researcher is insufficient, thereby limiting the study.

TIME: The time frame allocated to the study does not enhance wider coverage as the researcher has to combine other academic activities and examinations with the study.

Information Communication Technology (ICT): Refers to hardwares, softwares and programmes that affect academic and non-academic activities of both students and teachers.

ICT knowledge: This refers to the undergraduate students and teachers ability to identify correctly the types and benefits of ICT. ICT knowledge also means ability to possess formal information about ICT.

ICT Accessibility: Accessibility to ICT in this study refers to students’ and teachers’ ability to possess or hire ICT materials and willingness and capacity to take advantage of the available ICT services. ICT accessibility is measured by items 14 -21 in the accessibility subscale of Information Communication Technology questionnaire (AICTQ).

ICT use: Refers to performing academic and non-academic activities using ICT. ICT use is measured by items 22 – 32 in the use subscale of Information Communication Technology questionnaire (UICTQ).

In 2018, at the Aby Warburg Institute in London, I discovered a metal filing cabinet that contained numerous glass transparencies. Diagrams, drawings and photographs appeared on the slides that made reference to topics such as proportion, psychology or art. Without an established order, or any documentation and even with different sizes I was finally able to connect several images that seemed to refer to the same lecture.

The first slide reproduced the cover of the book "The Perception of the Visual World". The manuscript, work of the American psychologist James J. Gibson, was published in 1950, and actually the book was at the Warburg Library. The text raises a disruptive and experimental thesis on the way we perceive images, a critical proposal with the dominant idea of cognitivism. This line of research would be known as “visual ecology”, and Gibson was the highest representative. Many of the book's photographs were in fact reproduced on the glass slides that I found at the Institute; in addition, there were also other images on art history or even a couple slides that looks like “memes” that did not appear in the book and that were presumably intended to introduce a stroke of humor to keep the audience's attention. There were also two slides referring to a second book, Eye, Film and Camera in color Photography, by R.M. Evans, and an extra one from the same author but different book, “Introduction to color”.

Despite having the books itself and handwritten notes on each of the slides, there was no way of knowing which was the speech that ordered and connected those images: there was no numbering or established order, and without any recording or phonographic file was impossible to know. It was an anomaly, a “speechless” lecture.

Was the conference a summary of Gibson's book or was it a critique of his controversial work? Was it Gibson himself who gave the talk? Or was it Gombrich or maybe Gertrud Bing? How could those images make sense? The only thing that seemed clear to me is that the materiality of these slides printed on glass paradoxically conflicted with the immaterial nature of a lost speech, with those forgotten words, with an extinct discourse that once gave them meaning seven decades ago.

That conflict, that tension between the objectual and the immaterial, between the document and the referent, between images and words, between photography as an index and language as a structure, not only spoke of photographic nature, but of how photography has served as a discursive backing for numerous artistic practices.

My investigation materialized in a series of 12 artworks. In each of them, in a glass case, two images are put into dialogue: in the foreground, printed on glass, we can look at a life-size reproduction of the photographs I took at the Warburg Institute, where my hand holds a slide. In the background, we glimpse blurry images. Those are fragments of photographic documentation of dematerialized art practices from the seventies, where the photographic or audiovisual record was the only part that remained.

The discursive and iconographic associations between images, the distance among them, the opacity and transparency make up a visual discourse devoid of words. An invisible speech, constructed through pictures that navigates from the physicality of the image to the dematerialization of art, projecting analogies and conflicts.
