We are a Certified Invisalign® Provider.

You’ve dreamed of a beautiful smile for as long as you can remember. It’s NOT too late! From teens to seniors that beautiful smile is just an Invisalign® procedure away.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® has changed the face of orthodontics. Instead of wires attached to your teeth, your teeth can now be straightened invisibly.
  • Invisalign® is clear. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
  • Invisalign® is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Invisalign® is comfortable. No metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation, and less time in the dentist’s chair getting adjustments.
The Invisalign® process has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. However, only a certified dentist like ours can undertake this procedure.

How Does Invisalign® Work?

  • A set of aligners are worn for 1 week, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
  • As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position the dentist has prescribed.
  • You will visit us approximately once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
  • Total treatment time averages 6 months. This of course will vary from case to case.

The aligners are made through a combination of our dentists’ expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology provided by the Invisalign® company.

We now offer Invisalign Teen™ designed specifically with additional features that compensate for Teen treatment challenges. Click here to learn more.

Minehead RNLI help during a round-Britain walker’s early setback

Lifeboats News Release

A Coventry woman’s planned adventure of walking all the way around the coast of Britain came to an unscheduled halt after just three miles as she found herself trapped by the rising tide – and calling 999 for help.

The 28-year old set out this morning from Minehead, the start of the South West Coast Path which runs for 630 miles to Poole.

But instead of keeping to the official route she attempted the first lap to Porlock along a boulder beach at the foot of 800-foot cliffs.

And just under a mile from Hurlestone Point she found the tide cutting off her advance and her retreat.

Minehead’s volunteer RNLI crew launched the station’s D class and located her within 10 minutes, but with a moderate swell running extricating her was far from simple.

The crew dropped the anchor and veered down the line to as close to the beach as possible and crew member Karla Thresher swam ashore to help the woman back aboard. She was landed at Porlock Weir, shaken but unhurt.

D class helm Phil Sanderson said: “She was carrying an enormous backpack and how she managed to get so far I have no idea.

'That stretch of shoreline is best avoided unless you know it well. The tide comes right up to the cliffs in places and there are only two locations where it’s possible to climb up – and then only if you’re pretty fit.'

Il Bacio

Review by: Michael Stern

Be skeptical when an ice cream shop says it makes its own. Too often, that means they buy a tub of flavored commercial mix and run it through an ice cream machine. Voila: “homemade” ice cream. At Il Bacio, flavors do not start as a ready-made mix. They are created by owner Tony Nascimento from scratch using quality cream from dairies that he knows, fresh fruit for fruit flavors, Madagascar vanilla, and imported chocolates. Not every batch is identical; banana, coconut, or mango flavors will vary subtly depending on the season and the ripeness of the fruit. Some batches of dark cherry chocolate have more cherries than others. To top cups and sundaes built upon this truly artisan ice cream, hot fudge is made with European cocoa; whipped cream is heavy cream that has been whipped, not chemicals sprayed from a can.

The efforts to which Mr. Nascimento goes are apparent in the gaudiest (and most popular) of his flavors, known as Cardiac Arrest. This consists of seven different chocolates, milk and dark, and is chockfull of big, dense chocolate chunks. It has a unique texture that is velvet-smooth and yet somehow magically grippy on the tongue – like no other ice cream I’ve ever eaten. It is overwhelmingly chocolaty – so much so that my stamina begins to falter into a second scoop and my chocolate lust is gone for the rest of the day.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Vanilla Pudding (not always available) is custard-creamy, forceful in a completely different direction. Some flavors are good in less dramatic ways – Pistachio is notable for the abundance of firm nuts. Devil Dog does indeed contain squished Devil Dogs, but suspension in quality cream transforms them into proud pastry. Coffee-flavored ice creams pack refined coffee kick. Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake is downright psychedelic. Cupcake ice cream is birthday cake in a spoon. There are well over two dozen flavors available any day – these from a repertoire of some 500.

Best. Ice cream. Ever. Tony lives to create ice cream nirvana!
As Michael says, he sources all his ingredients himself, looking for the finest. Peach ice cream – you’ll only find it when peaches are in season locally. And, only when those peaches are at their finest.
And when Tony says they’re ready, well, then – I advise you to have a scoop!

My favorites – Donotello (coffee, real cream, and delicate chocolate flakes), Sopranos (chocolate and cherries), and Chocolate Lace – sublime vanilla, with crushed chocolate lace cookies, made to exacting standards by a local cookie maker.

Worth a drive from anywhere! Plus, Tony, his wife Gina, and all the delightful scoopers who work there are super-nice.

Oh – and all the toppings are top-notch too! (Though I never use them – it would be gilding the lily.)

Debugging Leaks With rr

Last week I looked into a couple of Gecko leaks using rr. One fun aspect of using rr is discovering new debugging techniques. "What's the best way to use a record-and-replay debugger to track down memory leaks?" is a very interesting question. Maybe no-one has tried to do this before.

XPCOM_MEM_LEAK_LOG uses instrumentation to count object constructors and destructors and report any mismatches. That tells us immediately which classes of objects leaked. My next step was to identify the address of a leaked object, preferably one that is the root of an ownership tree of leaked objects. In my particular case I chose to investigate a leaked nsWindow, because only one was leaked and I guessed (correctly, as it turns out) that it was most likely to be the root of the leaked object tree.

Finding the address of the leaked nsWindow was easy: run the program with breakpoints on the nsWindow constructor and destructor, set to log the object address and continue. The constructor with no matching destructor has the address of the leaked object. At process exit I could inspect the window object and see that indeed it still existed with refcount 1.

My next move was to use a similar technique to log addref/release operations on that window. This is similar to what you'd get with Gecko's built-in trace-refcount instrumentation, but produced a lot of data that was hard to analyze. I realized the leaked reference to the window probably corresponds to a pointer to the window in memory when the process exits. So I added a real-tid command to rr to print the real thread-id of a replaying process, and wrote a small program to walk /proc/.../maps and /proc/.../mem to search all process memory for the pointer value. This worked very well and showed just two addresses where the pointer occurred.

The next problem was to figure out what those addresses belong to. I futzed around a bit before finding the correct approach: set hardware write watchpoints on those addresses and reverse-execute from the end of the process to find the writes that stored those addresses. This told me immediately where and why each reference was being stored, and if it was a strong reference. This made the bug obvious.

A lot of this could be more automated. It would be particularly interesting to grab the XPCOM_MEM_LEAK_LOG output and process it to automatically output the "leak roots" --- leaking references that are not contained in objects that themselves leaked. If there are no leak roots then instead there must be at least one cycle of strong references, which we can output.

1 comment:

  1. If you set XPCOM_MEM_LOG_CLASSES=nsWindow, then it will also print out the address of any leaked objects.

    You can also use the heap scan mode of DMD to record the entire contents of memory to a file. This will also record the allocation stack for each live block of memory. I have a script that tells you which blocks point to a particular other block. Ideally there would be some way to automatically use debug information to correlate the block offset of the address to the type of the field but I haven't gotten around to figuring that out.

Injectable Steroids

Fast and guaranteed delivery.

Injectable Steroids

Anabolic steroids can are very important in professional bodybuilding and today, you can choose whether you want to take oral or injectable steroids. There are advantages and disadvantages of both types of administration, but there are also myths about safety and efficacy issues we will try to uncover. You can find, order and buy injectable steroids online in many online supplement stores.

The Development of Injectable Steroids

Intramuscular injection of anabolic steroids is the oldest method of their use and it is still used with great success. Anabolic steroids are derivates of Testosterone. Since the discovery of testosterone and its effects on muscle growth, various formulations are used in order to develop safe and efficient administration method. It has been discovered that testosterone undergoes significant changes while passing the liver circulation and become inactivated in the process called “first-pass”. Therefore, the ingestion of testosterone and its analogues was out of question before the development of modified oral steroids. Although oral steroids play an important role in modern bodybuilding, injectable steroids kept their place thanks to their quality properties. Some of the most common injectable steroids on the market today are:

·         Testosterone Enanthate

·         Testosterone blend

·         Boldenone Undecylenate

·         Stanozolol

·         Testosterone Propionate

·         Testosterone Cypionate

·         Testosterone Suspension

·         Trenbolone Acetate

·         Nandrolone Decanoate

·         Trenbolone Enanthate

How are Injectable Steroids Administered

Injectable steroids are most commonly administered in gluteus muscle, although deltoid or any other big skeletal muscle can be used. The injections can be delivered to different parts of the body, but the administration is always intramuscular. That way they bypass the liver circulation and are not damaged by liver enzymes. A common myth that anabolic steroids are given intravenously is one of the most inaccurate misconceptions. Intravenous way of administration is not possible because of their specific chemical structure. Namely, most injectable steroids have oil-based chemical structure which means that they are not soluble in water – hydrophobic. As the blood is a water solution, if an oil based solution entered the blood it would cause embolisation of the lungs which is possibly deadly condition. Intramuscular administration is perfectly safe, as muscles act as reservoirs that absorb and release steroids slowly into the bloodstream. Then they arrive to all the cells in the body and express their effects acting through their receptors located in target cells.

The Effects of Injectable Steroids on Human Body

Injectable steroids have amazing effects on muscle growth. Their anabolic activity is enhanced by additional modifications, so that their androgenic effects are mostly diminished. These steroids can also be used in medicine to treat patients suffering from different diseases. It has been shown that injectable steroids can increase muscle mass even without exercising, but the effects are much better when proper training and nutrition regimen is applied. This kind of formulation enables longer half life of these steroids, so they are not very often used when there is a need to avoid doping control. Have in mind that the use of anabolic steroids is not legal in competitive sports. In order to avoid misunderstanding as this is a very common misconception, injectable steroids act systemically. In other words, it is not important in which muscle the steroid is injected because it is quickly reabsorbed and distributed to every cell in the body. Gluteus muscle is most often chosen because of its large size and because it is the safest place to administer injections.

Safety Issues of Injectable Steroids

There are probably more people with wrong information about the safety of injectable steroids than those who know the truth. This is because common sense tells us that something that is injected in the body with the needle must without question be more harmful than when we use it orally. With anabolic steroids, this is not the case. Namely, oral steroids need to be chemically modified before use because of the phenomenon of first pass through the liver circulation. Otherwise, the liver would inactivate them. Modifications of oral steroids make them hard to process and they represent a significant burden for the liver, so they can cause liver damage. On the other hand, injectable steroids have pure formulations and do not represent threat for the liver. They are associated with some other issues, such as risk of infection when using non-sterile equipment. In women, injectable steroids can cause virilization – over expressed masculine properties with deepened voice and excess hair on the body).

As long they are used in appropriate dosages and by recommendations, injectable steroids are superior to oral steroids in terms of safety.

Frequency of Administration of Injectable Steroids

Injectable anabolic steroids can be divided into two groups by their chemical structure – long-estered and short-estered. Long-estered steroids have acquired long carboxylic acids in the esterification process, while short-estered steroids contain small carboxylic acids. The difference between these two is in length of degradation. Long-estered steroids require more time to be degraded, and therefore have longer half life. In order to keep optimal blood levels of these steroids, they need to be administered only two times a week. Half lives of short-estered anabolic steroids vary from 2 to 3 days, and they need to be taken every day or their blood concentration will drop.

Regardless of your choice on the type of anabolic steroid you will use, you should always get professional opinion. Your choice should be made based on your age, health status, gender, and constitution. Inform your doctor if you have any chronic diseases in order to determine whether you are allowed or not to use these supplements. If you choose injectable steroids, go and buy them online or in a local store, and you will be very satisfied when you see how they can transform your body. However, you will not receive much benefit without intensive training and inadequate nutrition. Nutrients, especially proteins are building blocks of your muscles. Therefore, you need to have a daily intake of 1 or even more grams of proteins per Kg of bodyweight, and steroids will help implementing them into your muscles.

Four Advantages Of Plumbing Maintenance That Will Make Your Life Easier

Many times plumbing of a home is one of those things that get left out quite a lot. However, it is equally important to give the plumbing of households an equal amount of attention because there are many benefits of regular plumbing maintenance.

Many indoor air quality benefits are related to having an effective plumbing system in your home. If you have an efficient plumbing system going on then it will increase the lifespan of your plumbing and pipes as well.

In this article, we are going to discuss the four advantages of plumbing maintenance that will make your life easier!

So, keyboard reading to find out more information below about plumbing NZ.

Advantages Of Regular Plumbing Maintenance:

 1. Money Saver:

If you keep a check on your plumbing system on a regular basis then you will save a lot of money on your water bills. The reason behind this is that if there are leakages happening in the pipes and taps of your home then a lot of water is going to get wasted.

It is not only a waste of water but also a waste of money spent on water bills as well. So if you address these issues on time then you will save yourself a lot of money in the long run!

 2. The Air Quality:

Believe it or not, getting regular plumbing maintenance in your home is directly related to better indoor air quality in your home. Because if there is some pipe in your home that is leaking then there is going to be a pressure issue constantly from a tap.

It can cause fungus and mall to grow in those pipes which father leads to bacteria and it is really bad for the indoor air quality of your home. So if you prefer a hygienic and clean environment to breathe and for your home then you should get regular plumbing maintenance in your home!

 3. Plumbing Lifespan:

Many times when a leak happens in a pipe then people tend to ignore that for a while. People think that it will be okay if they address this issue later because the leak is minimal at first.

However, this is not the smartest thing to do. It is only going to decrease the lifespan of your plumbing and your pipes are going to go moldy.

There is a reason why it is said that a stitch in time saves nine! So save yourself extra hassles later on by addressing the current issues as soon as possible by hiring a professional plumber.

 4. Emergency Repairs Chances:

If you keep regular checks in your home plumbing system then it is going to be beneficial for you on many terms. You are less likely to get any emergency issue related to plumbing in your home if you are checking the plumbing system on a regular basis in your home.

The emergency plumbing issues can be very annoying and dangerous at sometimes. If they occur at a time when no plumber is available then it can even cause flooding in your home!

Federal Health Policy Update for Friday, August 13

The following is the latest health policy news from the federal government as of 1:30 p.m. on Friday, August 13.  Some of the language used below is taken directly from government documents.

Food and Drug Administration

  • The FDA has amended the emergency use authorizations for both the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to authorize administering an additional dose of those vaccines to certain immunocompromised individuals, including solid organ transplant recipients and those who are diagnosed with conditions that are considered to have an equivalent level of immunocompromise.
  • The FDA has revised its emergency use authorization for the monoclonal antibody REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab, administered together) to add an authorization of REGEN-COV for emergency use as post-exposure prophylaxis (prevention) for COVID-19 in adults and pediatric individuals (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kilograms) who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.  Learn more here.

The White House

  • The White House has posted a transcript of the August 12 press briefing given by its COVID-19 response team and public health officials. View press briefing slides here.
  • The White House announced a series of COVID-19-related initiatives, including:
  • $8.5 billion in American Rescue Plan funding in the coming weeks to help compensate health care providers that serve rural Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP patients for lost revenue and increased expenses associated with COVID-19.
  • $500 million in American Rescue Plan funding to create the Emergency Rural Health Care Grant Program, which will provide at least $350 million to help rural hospitals and local communities improve access to COVID-19 vaccines and testing, medical supplies, telehealth, and food assistance, and support construction or renovation of rural health care facilities and up to $125 million in grants to plan and implement models that help improve the long-term viability of rural health care providers.
  • $52 million from the American Rescue Plan to train a range of health care workers to fill in-demand professions in rural areas affected by the pandemic. Applications for this funding will be available in the coming weeks.
  • A demonstration project to enhance access to pulmonary rehabilitation services in critical access hospitals that serve rural communities with high rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
  • Expanded Veterans Affairs training programs for rural providers.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

  • CMS announced that people with Medicare who qualify for an additional dose of COVID-19 can receive it at no cost.  This is in response to the FDA’s recent action to authorize an additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine for immunocompromised individuals.  CMS will share more information and guidance in the coming days about billing and coding for the additional dose of the COVID-19 vaccine for immunocompromised patients.
  • CMS has written to state officials to outline how it will assist states with their planning to resume routine Medicaid, CHIP, and Basic Health Program operations for the eventual end of the COVID-19 public health emergency.  Specifically, this letter provides updated guidance that extends the timeframe for states to complete pending eligibility and enrollment work to up to 12 months after the public health emergency ends and requires states to complete a redetermination of eligibility after the public health emergency for all beneficiaries prior to taking any adverse action.
  • CMS has published the latest edition of MLN Connects, its online weekly bulletin.  This week’s edition includes articles about CMS resuming the Targeted Probe & Education program and new waived laboratory tests, effective October 1. For this and more, go here.

Health Policy News

Department of Health and Human Services

  • HHS announced that it will require more than 25,000 members of its health care workforce to be vaccinated against COVID-19.  This includes staff at the Indian Health Service, the NIH, and members of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.  Read the press release here.

A Driver’s Side Look at Our Side-By-Side ATV Tours

Your summer adventure isn’t complete until you experience a side-by-side ATV tour. This is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. When you feel the open air and the excitement of these 4×4 vehicles, riding on wild trails throughout our 6,000-acre private mountain, it will leave you speechless.

Tour a Private Mountain

Right here in the Vail Valley and close to Beaver Creek, we offer side-by-side ATV adventures on an area that’s larger than the Vail ski area – and it’s exclusively for Sage guests. We have the entire place to ourselves, to explore and to take in this wild, Colorado mountain experience.

Enjoy Custom-Built Side-by-Side Trails

Our side-by-side trails are custom-built, specifically for this purpose. Unlike some tours out there, these aren’t just old borrowed Forest Service trails. We’ve designed a trail system to maximize your experience on this epic mountain. We’ll cruise through open meadows full of wildflowers. We will twist and turn through aspen and spruce forests. And we’ll take in jaw-dropping views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.

Side-by-side ATVs

Catch a Glimpse of the Wildlife

The mountain is home to elk, deer, and a variety of wildlife. From here we can enjoy views of seven different mountain ranges, including the continental divide. We can even hike out to the rim of the Eagle River Canyon, and look off into the 2,400-foot gorge. It’s a special place, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

If you’d like to learn more about our side-by-side ATV tours, please click here where you’ll find pricing and the ability to book online. If you’d like to speak with someone here at Sage, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 970-476-3700.

See you on the mountain this summer!

What’s the Difference on a Private Mountain Horseback Ride?

Horseback riding in the Vail Valley is a popular activity. But not all horseback rides are the same. The average experience might be a nose-to-tail ride on a busy trail that’s choked with other users and where you’re not allowed to stray from the path. But we don’t believe in average.

Instead, imagine an authentic, western horseback experience on a historic private mountain just outside of Vail and Beaver Creek. Here, you can avoid the crowded trailhead. You can explore forests, aspen groves, meadows, and rolling sage flats. And you’re not stuck in a single file.

Horseback Riding in Vail Valley

Unique Horseback Riding near Beaver Creek

Most horseback riding operations are limited to US Forest Service trails and regulations. Forest Service permits limit exactly where horses can ride and stop. Taking groups of horseback riders off-trail and cross-country is not allowed in many of the high-use areas like the trails around Vail and Beaver Creek.

Here at Sage Outdoor Adventures, we do things differently. Our base of operations is a 6,000-acre private mountain. That’s larger than the Vail ski area! This extraordinary location is home to expansive meadows filled with wildflowers, creeks and ponds, old-growth stands of aspen trees, and historic cabins. The mountain here is teeming with wildlife like elk and deer.

Off-Trail Horseback Riding

Horseback Riding on a Private Mountain with Sage

Horseback rides on our private mountain are not limited by Forest Service permit regulations. Our riders are free to explore the entire area, follow game trails through the woods and trot through the sunny meadows. On a horseback ride with us, you won’t be riding single-file down a narrow dirt track. You’ll be able to explore the beautiful country that Colorado has to offer.

So next time you think of going on a horseback ride when you’re visiting the Vail area, break away from the pack and the standard nose-to-tail rides. Join us as we set off across a vast and historic private mountain. Experience what a horseback riding experience should be!

To learn more, please visit our Horseback Riding Page. You can book or chat with us online. Or give us a call at 970-476-3700 to begin planning your adventure. We hope to see you on the mountain this summer!

Dillons Point – Marlborough Valley.

Soils: This vineyard has free-draining alluvial silt overlying a sandy subsoil.

The proximity of this area to the coast makes it cooler than much of inland Marlborough.

Regional characteristics and contribution to uniqueness of flavours:

This is a cooler site with slower ripening than the majority of the Marlborough region. It is often one of the very last blocks to be harvested. Site related characteristics include a distinct mineral intensity and a slightly rich salty finish that adds to the weight and length of the wine.

The fruit was pressed off as quickly as possible to minimise skin contact and juice deterioration following harvesting. After settling the juice was fermented using selected yeast in 100 per cent stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain fruit flavour and freshness.

The fruit was sourced from the Dillons Point area where it was carefully monitored during ripening. Harvesting took place in the cool of the evening when the grapes were at maximum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.

Unified Communications In The Age Of Global Pandemic – An Educational Story

This post first appeared on the Microsoft News Centre website – I encourage you to check it out entirely here.

More than 100 years ago, legendary New Zealander Sir Ernest Rutherford pioneered with radio waves. At his former school, Nelson College, the pioneering spirit is still going strong. Its latest technical innovation enables teachers, students and the school community to communicate seamlessly without wires – or even phones. During the COVID-19 lockdown, the College’s cloud-based Microsoft Teams platform kept calls getting through no matter where their recipients were working, enabled students to learn and collaborate, and even allowed teachers to continue their professional development.

Nelson College logoI’ve worked with the team at both Nelson Boys College and Telesmart off and on for a couple of years now and have always been super impressed with their innovation and eye for an opportunity. Therefore, it really was not especially surprising to me that they identified the value of Microsoft Teams as a unified communications platform for use both in the classroom and from a school administrative perspective.

The COVID19 global pandemic has certainly caused an acceleration of digital technologies in the education sector and one eLearning Leader I spoke with suggested it had propelled their school 2-3yrs ahead of their predicted adoption scale. Back to the case study:

As the oldest state secondary school in New Zealand, Nelson College has an impressive heritage. However, it was also dealing with a heritage phone system based on outdated on-site infrastructure with complex technical support requirements.

NelsonCollege-44With a student body approaching 1,100, as well as a preparatory school for Years 7-8, the College phone systems were under a lot of pressure from parents calling in to report absences, and enquiries from prospective families. While the College had switched from the old copper phone wires to an internet-based phone system (Skype for Business) in 2016, changing security requirements meant its existing on-site systems would soon become out of date. IT Systems Engineer Bob Casey was also spending a significant amount of time managing the school’s on-premise servers, which requires specialist knowledge.

An upgrade was urgently needed. But simply installing new phones and servers at the school would only create the same problems down the track. After reaching out to telephony specialists Telesmart, the College quickly realised a more pioneering approach was needed, as befits its history. It decided to do away with phones completely, switching the entire communication system to the cloud: Cloud Calling for Microsoft Teams.

“With wires, you’re very much tied to your building, whereas Teams provides much more mobility. It’s more than just the next step in the communication evolution,” Casey says. “It’s your teaching environment, it’s your meeting environment. Many people still think of a phone as a handset on a desk, but this pulls everything together in one place.”

When a global pandemic closed the school for more than a month, the genius of this solution became clear.

Modern unified communications platforms fundamentally change the way people choose to engage with each other, something that Bob Casey, IT Manager at Nelson College, identified:

  1. “One said to me they’re still using Teams and loving it, even now lockdown is over. The staff chat functions are always busy and we’re moving away from emails towards messaging each other on Teams. In a school environment, messaging is very important because you can’t call teachers when they’re teaching in the classroom. Now you can send a Teams message and they can see it instantly,” he says.
  2. “Extension numbers are a thing of the past too. You can call people by their name, which is so much easier than remembering a number or looking it up in a directory. Landlines in the community are fast disappearing. Soon we’ll all be communicating through an app – and Nelson College is already making it easier for parents and teachers to do that.”

I see the above in my role as well – leveraging Microsoft Teams across my laptop and mobile phone means those important communications are always with me and a simple touch of a button takes the conversation from a text message exchange, to a voice call to a video call when you really need to see and understand what the other person is saying. I’ve lost count the number of times this has led to ‘looping in’ another colleague to the video call who has knowledge, experience or different viewpoints to enhance the learning taking place.

With the added ability to use all of the above forms of chat with both internal and external users, along with the dialing ability to land lines and mobile phones all from within the same application, schools are realizing just how powerful Microsoft Teams is as a unified communications platform.

Again, I encourage you to read the entire case study here to fully understand how Nelson College used Microsoft Teams both during (and now after) the COVID19 lockdown to maintain connections across the entire College community.

I am always keen to discuss what I've written and hear your ideas so leave a reply here...

The Hungry Ghosts

The Hungry Ghosts

9781846592003 March 2016 Paperback 464pp

About the Book

In Buddhist myth, those that have desired too much during their lifetime may be reborn as ‘hungry ghosts’ – spirits with a stomach so large they can never be full.

Six-year-old Shivan is boarded up in his grandmother’s mansion in Sri Lanka. While civil unrest brews outside, Shivan is fighting small battles of his own: the matriarch of his mysterious family wants to groom him as heir to her vast and corrupt empire. Shivan stands helpless as she sidelines his mother and sister and evicts vulnerable families from their homes.

Unwilling to carry the burden of her expectations, Shivan escapes to the West. Yet ghosts will follow you across continents. As the years pass, and his sexuality gradually comes to light, events spiral out of control and threaten to separate Shivan from his family once and for all.

The Hungry Ghosts is an exquisite tale of differences and how they can tear apart both a country and the heart – not just once, but many times, until the ghosts are freed.

Eliska from Ruffles and Bells designs the most lovely weddings and it’s always exciting to see what she comes up with each time.

We built an extravagant installation on the stage at the Capella for the ceremony with tall lush foliages, malacca balm, hydrangea, roses and delphinium and surrounded the instal with candles en masse.

This main piece was then re positioned behind the bridal table, on another arbour from my hire collection, and styled with the neon sign. Full, low and artfully arranged centerpieces were placed at intervals down the centre of the table and epic floor florals were placed at the table ends.

" The style brief was modern and elevated, in a classic summer palette of cool greens and crisp whites, with elegant black and smokey grey accents."

Rainier Beach High School Flyer

I got a promotional flyer from Rainier Beach High School. It came on an email from the Rainier Beach family support worker/marketing coordinator Virginia Owens.

Here is the flyer:
While I support the efforts of Rainier Beach High School to notify families about their programs and to promote them. I support the assignment of "marketing coordinator" duties to someone at Rainier Beach (though I think Director DeBell would be uncomfortable with it).

That said, I'm not crazy about this flyer (see comments).

The flyer was attached to an email sent on February 6 (the day before the first school tour). Owens, in the sig file of her email, gives her personal email address rather than her seattleschools.org email address and it promotes a charity that she started. That's not appropriate.

The email and the flyer went to every middle school and K-8 south of the Ship Canal - except TOPS and Pathfinder. I don't know why those schools were left off the route list.

I am charmed by the sense of urgency created by the flyer when it says: "Register your child at Rainier Beach High School NOW while there is still room!" Of course, you can't register for any school yet. Open Enrollment hasn't started. And, of course, there is plenty of room at Rainier Beach High School.

Charlie Mas said...

Regarding the flyer -

Rainier Beach High School is 56% Black, but I had a hard time finding black faces in these photos. Black faces just don't show up in ads, not even for RBHS.

Is that logo, with the arm, helmet, and battle axe, the Rainier Beach logo? It's not the one that I've seen or the one on the Rainier Beach High School web page.

The copy about the IB program is a tangle:
"The attributes and descriptors of the IB's learner profile define the type of expertise Rainier Beach High School graduates will acquire:" That's a real head-scratcher and hardly an advertisement for a program to teach children to communicate clearly. It is followed by a list that lack parallelism.

Do the CTE programs also turn students into these kind of people or is it just IB? Does IB instill the characteristics on the left and CTE instills the characteristics on the right?

The email is poorly written as well and seems to imply that only IB students graduate with a love of learning.

I have to wonder also if any general fund money is used to pay Ms Owens for her work as marketing coordinator.

Charlie Mas I don't understand Your Hatred for the Students and Staff of Rainier Beach High School ?

Nick: I am a profession graphic design/communications specialist and in my educated opinion this flyer is just terrible.

I agree with Charlie's assessment and add:

The placement of the text has no flow whatsoever; you don't know where to look first, or what's related to what.

The design elements (logo, triangle, photos, lists) are all competing for attention.

The photos look "canned." They were obviously NOT taken at RBHS.

Perhaps, some form of communication to potential students is better than none, but as a parent with a child in the RBHS service area, I can only say that a flyer done so poorly would not install confidence.

Charlie Mas said...

Well, well, well. What do you know?

(Off duty) Wilco deputy fired after beating 12 year old girl at BBQ restaurant

Jack Danford Jr.

Jack Danford Jr. a 42 year old Wilco, Texas police deputy fired after attacking 12 year old girl at outdoor BBQ joint after drinking all day.

Jack Danford Jr. a 42 year old Wilco, Texas police deputy has been fired after allegedly assaulting a 12-year-old girl outside a barbecue joint.

The Williamson County police deputy’s termination follows a March 3 incident when Danford, who was off duty and observed drunk, ‘tackled and brutally beated up’ the child reported Fox26.

Witnesses at Oakwood BBQ in Austin say Danford attacked the girl outside the restaurant in a drunken, unprovoked attack.

Danford, a regular at the restaurant, had attempted to enter the eatery when employees informed him they were closed and asked him to leave. Danford refused.

In turn the off duty cop waited in the outdoor seating area for his daughter, Megan, and her boyfriend, Dahvi Winstead, who where meeting up with him. According to an arrest affidavit, the cop began drinking two to three beers while he sat outside.

When they arrived, the deputy told his daughter he had ‘been drinking all day’.

At some point, Danford began petting a dog that was roaming around in the back of the restaurant.

The dog reportedly belonged to the assaulted girl’s stepfather, Russell Cope, who the child was waiting for outside at the time. At the time the girl had been playing with the pup.

It was soon after that matters devolved.

Jack Danford Jr. drunken beating and resisting arrest: Police deputy held to a higher standard.

Explained the 12 year old girl via Fox26, ‘I was waiting for my mom’s boyfriend to unload wood, so after that, we could go eat’.

From there the girl walked over to play with the dog – when Danford ‘tackled and punched her in the face’.

The girl’s stepdad and owner of the pup, said he witnessed the event and had tried to stop it.

Told Cope,  ‘I seen him on top of her and he was hammer fisting it looked like to me… like UFC-style,’

‘I got mad and started beating on the man and it seemed like he was on some kinda drug or something… because he wasn’t stopping.’

The stepdad said he proceeded to kick Danford, who then fell to the ground.

Employees heard the girl screaming and saying, ‘help!’ when several people rushed outside to see what was wrong.

Manager of Oakwood BBQ, Will Atkins, said he had already threatened to call police on the deputy earlier when Danford refused to leave when asked.

Told Atkins, ‘He came in, I guess he was a little drunk or on something. We asked him to leave… he refused to leave. We told him we were going to have to call the police if he didn’t leave’.

‘Nobody has any idea, there was no reasoning, no logical explanation’.

Jack Danford Jr.
Pictured Austin’s Oakwood BBQ where Jack Danford Jr. attacked a 12 year old girl during a drunk rage and then resisted arrest.

Wilco County Deputy Jack Danford Jr: Higher standards?

Of note, KVUE cited arresting officers saying they smelled a strong odor of alcohol emanating from Danford. The man’s speech was described as slurred, difficult to comprehend and mumbled. The officer was also observed wobbling on his feet and requiring assistance to stand.

According to court documents, the victim suffered bruising, redness and swelling to her face, abrasions on her shoulder and elbow, scratches to her abdomen and a strained muscle in her neck.

After the disturbance, Danford told officers he was drugged. When officers tried to search him, he grabbed an officer’s wrist and refused to let go, according to court documents. Officers were forced to use a baton before Danford let go.

Cope now hopes the deputy ‘won’t get off’ on the charges for the disturbing incident.

Atkins also expressed his shock over Danford’s behavior, saying he thought officers were supposed to be ‘held to a higher standard,’ according to News 4 San Antonio

Offered Sheriff Robert Chody, ‘If you have issues or concerns, we can talk these out with these resources that you have. When you have someone go in one day do criminal activity, per say, that’s disappointing’.

Danford, who was arrested at the scene, has been charged with public intoxication, injury to a child and resisting search.

The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement said a felony conviction means a revocation of an officer’s license. That means if convicted, Danford may never be an officer again.

Grain growth in nanocrystalline SnO2 prepared by sol-gel route

The isothermal grain growth of nanocrystalline SnO2, prepared by the sol-gel route was investigated at various temperatures between 500 °C and 800 °C. Grain growth data were analyzed using two different models. A conventional grain growth model for polycrystalline materials yields an extremely low activation energy of 47 kJ/mol, but large grain growth exponent n from 5 to 11. These values exceed the rational region deduced from conventional theory. An alternative model is based on the assumption that the ordering of the interface regions in nanocrystalline SnO2 occurs simultaneously with grain growth by structural relaxation. This structural relaxation model describes the grain growth kinetics satisfactorily and also yields a low activation energy of 31 kJ/mol appropriate for the rearrangement of atoms.

Guest Post: In search of a sand crab

Today's post is by the fantastic and phenomenal Zen Faulkes. Be sure to check out his blog after you read it!

Note; I'm writing this guest post because this week, I'll be a visitor in Christie's current stomping grounds, Hawaii, attending the summer meeting of The Crustacean Society. Christie, meanwhile, is on the mainland. Since we are sort of switching places, we thought it might be fun to switch blogs. So here I am at Observations, and she's promised me a guest post for my blog, NeuroDojo.

Hawaii is famous for its beaches. When most people see a beach, they think of relaxation. Tanning, swimming, bikinis, maybe a little Frisbee or beach volleyball.

When I see a beach, I think of shovelling and sweating.

Doing a doctorate changes you, man.

Mastigochirus_quadrilobatus (2).pngI developed my somewhat warped relationship with beaches during my graduate work. I worked on the locomotion of beach dwelling sand crabs. People who live by beaches might know some of the species as "water fleas" or "mole crabs," which are usually sand crabs in the genus Emerita.

Most of my work was in the lab, as the animals were pretty hardy and survived well in sea tables, but this did mean we had to occasionally go from Vancouver Island down to California to collect animals.

The good news was that the two main species of sand crabs I worked with were very abundant. But the most opportune time to collect them was at low tide, which somehow always seemed to fall just before daybreak on our collecting trips. My relationship with beaches changed after a couple of those 5:00 am wake-up calls, and not for the better.

During a Ph.D., you make it your goal to become knowledgeable on your subject, so I tried to read up on every paper on the sand crab superfamily I could find. There weren't many, and those that did exist were often taxonomic descriptions in nineteenth century journals and specialty journals. And I discovered some odd species that way. Zygopa, a sand crab with only one eye. Stemonopa, a sand crab with eyestalks longer than its carapace. And Mastigochirus.

I would love to see live Mastigochirus.

These genus is pretty obscure, even for sand crabs, which are a fairly obscure group to begin with, truth be told. There are only two species in the genus. But you won't even find the genus name Mastigochirus listed in a massive taxonomic database. You'll find some places that both Mastigochirus and Mastigopus, but the second name is an out-of-date name for the genus (Boyko & McLaughlin 2010), and isn't valid.

Before this post, you would only find a single drawing of the genus on Google Images, which I think is M. gracilas. Today, I'm proud to double that number by including a scan of an Australian species, M. quadrilobatus (from Haig 1974). But there are no photographs, and none of a live one. And the last couple of days, I thought, "Hey, that could be my lame claim to fame: to be the first person to photograph Mastigochirus and put it on the web!" (Go on, say it: "Nerd.")

It's a reminder, though, that not everything is on the web.

Why am I eager to see this genus and not the other extraordinary ones I mentioned?

It's those long legs. Yes, thanks to my doctoral work, I'm a leg man. (As I said: grad school changes you, man). Sand crabs use their legs for digging and swimming in very complicated ways, particularly in this family. In Emerita, the first pair of legs are flattened and paddle shaped, and they use them like rudders to steer when they swim. I look at those long legs in Mastigochirus, and am intensely curious to see how they are used. They don't seem to be great for swimming. They seem almost comical to think of them providing much help in digging. What are they used for?

Simple-minded questions abound when you study sand crabs. For most species (except Emerita), we have essentially no idea of the basic biology of the species beyond the descriptions of their bodies needed for a species description. What does Mastigochirus eat? The other two sand crabs in its family have very different feeding habits: Emerita is a mild-mannered filter feeder. Hippa will come come out of the sand and swim to bait.

I got thinking about all of this because I thought Mastigochirus might live in Hawaii. But re-reading Haig (1974), she described both species living in the Indo-West Pacific. I think I was confusing its distribution with another sand crab genus, Hippa, which definitely does live in Hawaii.

I don't know if I'll get a chance to see any sand crabs while I'm in Hawaii. A scientific conference is work, even when in a lovely place like Hawaii. But if you see guy on Waikiki beach with a shovel and no interest in working on a tan, kicking over and staring intently at the sand, come by and say hi.
