Emotional safety during examinations

Mid-year exams have begun and with crunch time comes emotional upheaval. However, it is manageable and should not deter you from the end-goal of succeeding in your studies while maintaining high mental health standards.

“The exam period is a time when stress and anxiety levels are higher than usual. Stress can be positive and help you stay motivated and focused. However, too much stress can be unhelpful and can make you feel overwhelmed, confused, exhausted and edgy,” says Dr Melissa Barnaschone, Director of Student Counselling and Development at the University of the Free State (UFS).

According to Helpguide.Org: Trusted guide to mental & emotional health, “Mental and emotional health is about being happy, self-confident, self-aware, and resilient. People who are mentally healthy are able to cope with life’s challenges and recover from setbacks. But mental and emotional health requires knowledge, understanding, and effort to maintain. If your mental health isn’t as solid as you’d like it to be, here’s the good news: there are many things you can do to boost your mood, build resilience, and get more enjoyment out of life.”

For further details on topics including: Building Better Mental Health, Emotional Intelligence Toolkit, Benefits of Mindfulness, Improving Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Cultivating Happiness, visit the Help Guide.

Dr Barnaschone has a few tips on how Kovsies can better approach academic anxiety during the examination period. Here is what she has to say:

67th Session of the Secretary-General’s Advisory Board on Disarmament Matters Discusses the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on International Security

فبراير 6th, 2017

In Geneva, from 25 to 27 January 2017, the members of the Advisory Board on Disarmament Matters discussed three topics given to them by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, where one of the key issues before them was Artificial Intelligence (AI) on international security.

The Board welcomed the addition of this new topic, a “frontier” technology issue that is confronting the international community and which may have a revolutionary effect on international security. AI can be of enormous benefit for international security, as well as a threat. The Board expressed the view that regardless of the particularities of the use of AI in warfare, International Humanitarian Law (IHL) should prevail at all times. International Human Rights Law (IHRL) should also be taken into account.

Other issues under discussion were the threat of cyberattacks by terrorists on nuclear facilities and the potential role of cybermeans in threatening biosecurity, and the review of the implementation of the 34 recommendations contained in the 2002 United Nations study on disarmament and non-proliferation education (A/57/124).

The Meeting was chaired by Dr. Trevor Findlay, Senior Research Fellow, School of Social and Political Sciences, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne in Australia. He has been a member of the Board since 2013 and will chair the meetings of the Board in 2017. The full members of the Board can be found here.

The Advisory Board on Disarmament Matters was established in 1978 pursuant to paragraph 124 of the Final Document of the Tenth Special Session of the General Assembly, and received its current mandate pursuant to General Assembly decision 54/418 of 1 December 1999.

The Advisory Board on Disarmament Matters has the following functions:

  • To advise the Secretary-General on matters within the area of arms limitation and disarmament, including on studies and research under the auspices of the United Nations or institutions within the United Nations system
  • To serve as the Board of Trustees of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR)
  • To advise the Secretary-General on the implementation of the United Nations Disarmament Information Programme

The 68th session of the Advisory Board, to be held from 28 to 30 June 2017 in New York, will continue to discuss the three topics and make recommendations for the Secretary-General to be included in his report to the General Assembly for its consideration in late 2017.

We stand at the dawn of a new era. The technological revolution is transforming our lives at breakneck speed, dramatically altering the ways in which we work, learn and even live together. Alongside the increasingly sophisticated use of big data, artificial intelligence (AI) is undergoing exponential growth and finding new applications in an ever-increasing number of sectors, including security, the environment, research and education, health, culture and trade.

AI is humanity’s new frontier. Once this boundary is crossed, AI will lead to a new form of human civilization. The guiding principle of AI is not to become autonomous or replace human intelligence. But we must ensure that it is developed through a humanist approach, based on values and human rights. We are faced with a crucial question: what kind of society do we want for tomorrow? The AI revolution opens up exciting new prospects, but the anthropological and social upheaval it brings in its wake warrants careful consideration.

A Tremendous Opportunity for Sustainable Development

The transformations arising from the technological revolution, and in particular from developments in AI, are relevant to every aspect of the mandate of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Education is already being profoundly transformed by AI. Very soon, the tools of education—the way we learn, access knowledge and train teachers—will no longer be the same. From now on, the acquisition of digital skills stands at the centre of all our education programmes. Furthermore, we must “learn to learn” because the pace of innovation is rapidly transforming the labour market. Today, more than ever before, the humanities—history, philosophy, literature—are crucial to our ability to act in our rapidly changing world. In the field of culture, AI is already being employed extensively, for example, in the imagery used to reconstruct heritage. It is used in the sciences too, notably in our environmental programmes and underwater research. Communication and information are also directly dependent on progress in AI, particularly with regard to freedom of expression and access to information.

AI could open up tremendous opportunities for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Its applications enable innovative solutions, improved risk assessment, better planning and faster knowledge sharing.

Tackling the Challenges of Artificial Intelligence

While AI is an astonishing asset for the responsible development of our societies, it also gives rise to major ethical issues. How can we ensure that algorithms do not infringe fundamental human rights—from privacy and data confidentiality to freedom of choice and freedom of conscience? Can freedom of action be guaranteed when our desires are anticipated and guided? How can we ensure that social and cultural stereotypes are not replicated in AI programming, notably when it comes to gender discrimination? Can these circuits be duplicated? Can values be programmed, and by whom? How can we ensure accountability when decisions and actions are fully automated? How do we make sure that no one—wherever they are in the world—is deprived of the benefits of these technologies? How do we ensure that AI is developed in a transparent way, so that global citizens, whose lives it affects, have a say in its development?

To answer these questions, we must distinguish between the immediate effects of AI on our societies—the consequences of which we are already feeling—and its long-term ramifications. This requires that we collectively shape a vision and a strategic plan of action.

Establishing Global Dialogue on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: the Role of UNESCO

The world must ensure that new technologies, especially those based on AI, are used for the good of our societies and their sustainable development. It should regulate AI developments and applications so that they conform to the fundamental rights that frame our democratic horizon.

Many actors—businesses, research centres, science academies, United Nations Member States, international organizations and civil society associations—are calling for an ethical framework for AI development. While there is a growing understanding of the issues, related initiatives need more robust coordination. This issue is global, and reflection on it must take place at the global level so as to avoid a ‘pick-and-choose’ approach to ethics. Furthermore, an inclusive, global approach, with the participation of United Nations funds, agencies and programmes, is required if we are to find ways of harnessing AI for sustainable development.

UNESCO will be a full and active participant in this global conversation. Our organization has many years of experience in the ethics of science and technology. Our advisory bodies have already produced numerous reports and declarations, including on robotics, such as the Report of the World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology on Robotics Ethics in 2017. The advisory bodies also have experience in developing normative instruments, including the Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights in 1997 and the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights in 2005.

UNESCO priorities must also guide our international action in this area. It is essential to ensure that Africa fully participates in transformations related to AI, not only as a beneficiary but also upstream, contributing directly to its development. In terms of gender equality, we must fight against the biases in our societies to guarantee that they are not reproduced in AI applications. Finally, we must empower young people by providing them with the skills they need for life in the twenty-first century for integration in a changing labour market.

UNESCO also has a key role to play in bridging existing divides, which AI is likely to deepen. Eliminating fragmentation between countries and genders, but also in terms of resources and knowledge, could enable more people to contribute to the digital transformation underway.

UNESCO, with its humanist mission and international dimension, involving researchers, philosophers, programmers, policymakers, and private sector and civil society representatives, is the natural home for debate on such ethical issues. Beginning later this year, UNESCO will organize debates on AI in several regions of the world, bringing together specialists from a wide range of backgrounds and expertise. The first debate, which took place in Marrakech, Morocco, on 12 December 2018, focused on AI and Africa. A second international conference will take place at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris in the first half of 2019. This dialogue could eventually lead, with the agreement of Member States, to the definition of key ethical principles to accompany developments in AI.

UNESCO, as a universal forum where everyone’s voice is heard and respected, is performing its role to the fullest, informing the global debate on the major transformations of our time while establishing principles to ensure that technological advances are used to serve the common good. The promise of AI and its underlying ethical issues are fascinating, and our responses to these challenges will transform the world as we know it.

Together, we must find the best solutions to ensure that the development of AI is an opportunity for humanity, as it is our generation’s responsibility to pass down to the next a society that is more just, more peaceful and more prosperous.

Transforming Educational Programmes For Future Industry 4.0 Capabilities - TEFFIC

This project addresses skills mismatches (the discrepancy between workers' skills and labour market needs) that is a common problem in a whole EU being widely addressed by European Commission in their communication on a New Skills Agenda for Europe.

Europa, Industrie 4.0

They recognise that 40% of European employers have difficulty finding people with the skills they need to grow and innovate. Education providers on the one hand and employers and learners on the other have different perceptions of how well-prepared graduates are for the labour market. Moreover, the digital transformation of the economy is re-shaping the way people work and do business. Many sectors are undergoing rapid technological change and digital skills are needed for all jobs that Commission have addressed with help of Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs, EU e-skills Strategy and Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition. The demand for digital technology professionals has grown by 4% annually in the last ten years.

In order to better understand skills mismatch, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) carried out in 2014 the first pan-European skills survey, the initial results of which were published in October 2015. Results revealed that about 30% of European employees possess qualifications that are not well-matched to those required by their jobs. A recent in-depth analysis on Digital Skills in the EU Labour Market conducted by the European Parliamentary Research Service stated that in the near future, 90% of jobs (especially engineering, medicine, art and architecture) will require some level of digital skills.Despite continued strong employment growth, the number of unfilled vacancies for ICT professionals is expected to almost double to 756,000 by 2020. Finally, interdisciplinary profiles – people with the ability to combine work across different fields - are increasingly valued by employers but are in short supply on the labour market. This current development is often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). The term Industry 4.0 refers to a general emerging trend within the European industry (which will be the understanding of the term in this application), although the term originally was introduced as a response to the German situation. If the European industry is to remain competitive, there will be a demand for highly skilled labour at various levels in the transformation towards Industry 4.0 across Europe. Europe needs digitally smart people who are not only able to use but also to innovate and lead in using these technologies. Without it Europe will not succeed in embracing this digital transformation. The acquisition of new skills is vital to keep pace with the technological developments and industry is already introducing innovative training. One of the main initiatives ‘An industrial policy for the globalisation era’, focus on improving industry (business) by smart and innovative use of knowledge and technologies  which will require new high-quality skills, handling and exploiting the new possibilities.

The implementation of Industry 4.0 fundamental changes the prerequisites for future industrial production on a larger scale leading to a new situation. However, traditionally educational activities are solely focusing on the individual domains within the technologies driving the changes. But the implementation of Industry 4.0 will also affect how the different groups of engineers and technicians should act and collaborate, and eventually how they should perceive the future industrial production to innovate. Future engineers and technicians must accordingly adopt a new understanding of the situation. Furthermore, many educational activities are taking place within isolated technical disciplines/domains, lacking the cross-disciplinary approach and understanding embedded in Industry 4.0. Accordingly, there is a need to strengthen and develop new activities ensuring the needed competences across domains. It is therefore of vital importance that the latest research within this area outputs back into the educational activities as this fundamental change the prerequisites for future industrial production,changing the needs from the industry. Accordingly, there is a necessity to update the content of the existent curriculum to the labour market and societal needs and develop high quality skills and competencies to address future demands from industry. This must be done with significant contribution to innovation in education institutions and application of latest research and newest interdisciplinary and cross border approaches and methods to ensure transferability potential not only between the sectors and disciplines but countries as well.

ICAO Secretary General stresses role of air law

Dr. Fang Liu, Secretary General of ICAO, together with Mr. Wang Zhiqing, Deputy Administrator of China’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) and Ms. Feng Youmei, First Vice President of Wuhan University, opened and participated in a ‘Belt and Road’ Aviation Law Conference that was held from 28-29 April 2018 at Wuhan University.

In her opening speech, Dr. Liu underscored that it was a key responsibility of ICAO to develop international law, policies and standards in the field of civil aviation, given the Organization’s status as a specialized agency of the United Nations with oversight responsibility for the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention).

She noted that helping countries to cooperate together through the Chicago Convention, in order to share their skies to their mutual and continuous benefits, was the guiding mission of ICAO, adding that it has been committed to the harmonized safe and orderly development of the civil aviation, and greater socio-economic connectivity among nations, since its establishment in 1944.

“This highlights in part how air transport has become established as a form of ‘sky silk road’ globally,” she highlighted, “and how with greater collaboration and assistance, for example through ICAO’s “No Country Left Behind” initiative , aviation can help many ‘Belt and Road’ States to achieve greater prosperity through its uniquely safe, secure and rapid international connectivity.”

Aviation law and the regulatory system it supports in China have been recognized for promoting and guiding the country’s civil aviation progress in line with the latest ICAO international standards and policies, and such that it has surpassed many related safety and efficiency targets for ICAO Member States.

More than 200 participants of different regions representing international organizations, civil aviation authorities, airlines, universities, arbitration centres, law firms and other entities attended the Wuhan conference, with the topics discussed including the development of aviation legislation, aircraft financing, dispute settlement mechanisms, passenger rights, remotely piloted aircraft systems, and other contemporary issues relating to aviation safety, security and environmental protection.

How to adopt baby, foster baby adoption, discover start parents

Watch 70+ adoption experts.

As an adoptive parent, you assume all rights and duties to make necessary choices for your child, including the right to consent to major medical care and treatment, to marriage, to enlistment within the armed companies. Adoption is permanent and lifelong, and is just possible when the delivery parents have voluntarily given up their parental rights or their rights are terminated by the court. Denise Cuthbert, a professor at Australia’s Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology who has researched the history and sociology of adoption, is conversant in the phenomenon Baden describes.

But we obtained four households — who adopted in several methods — to inform us what it is like. As we have fun National Foster Care Month in May, seize some tissues and read the story of Lacey Dunkin, who adopted six (six!) sisters.

Considering Adoption

“Late discovery adoptees report—amongst other things—excessive ranges of grief and a way of betrayal at what they understand to be the ‘lie’ perpetrated in opposition to them,” she wrote to me in an e mail. This is commonly the case even when the adoptee and adoptive household have an in any other case loving relationship, she added. And certainly, the participant testimonies included in Baden’s examine carry themes of trauma and betrayal. “I’m rather more guarded in every aspect now.

Adoption is a journey, not a single occasion. Adoption is each a legal and emotional process, as households construct bonds of love, commitment, and attachment.

Large Dog Crates – Choose His Crate According To His Size

Casual Home 600-44 Pet Crate

Wire cages can be so simply bent by canines that they should not be thought-about heavy responsibility crates. A small canine pressing towards these latches may easily bend the door outwards and start snapping welds and bending connections. So while we do recognize the size and features of this crate, wire crates aren’t economical or safe for escape artist or anxious canines. They are easily destroyed, bent and made useless.

Pros and cons of Precision Pet “ProValu,” Double Door Dog Crate

They often have a wooden-based mostly physique that makes them mildly durable. These crates can keep a canine inside them, provided that the canine doesn’t tend in the direction of being destructive. Their wooden construction makes them weak towards robust jaws.

It is best suited for giant, energetic, and powerful breeds, as crate holds up to 330 lbs (Basset Hound, Greyhound). The inside house of the crate will permit your pet to rest and keep visible for you. This luxurious canine crate is specially designed for big dogs who experience nervousness or afraid of storms. The development is made from a heavy steel body that’s onerous to deform or break.

Animals and Pets

pets and animal

“There is at present no evidence that pet animals can be a supply of infection of COVID-19 or that they’ll become sick,” the AFCD spokesman said. While a lot has been made from the monkey who appears to have adopted a cat, such cross-species alloparenting is rare. We routinely absorb animals integrate them into our households, creating a beneficial relationship. Our connection to Fido may be deeply rooted in our evolutionary history. They expanded the reach of humans and made other sources extra accessible.

Literary history brims with well-known authors who adored their pets, and E. B. White — extraordinary essayist, celebrator of New York, champion of integrity, upholder of linguistic type — was chief among them. In E. B. White on Dogs (public library), Martha White, Elwyn’s granddaughter and literary executor, collects the beloved writer’s finest letters, poems, sketches, and essays celebrating his canine companions. And you can ship donations to the Sonoma Humane Society and plenty of different organizations that are taking good care of animals of every dimension, shape, and breed.

Pets in artwork

Only two of six uninfected cats in the 2020 study grew to become infected through transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from experimentally contaminated cats. Results from so few animals shouldn’t be used as conclusive evidence that contaminated cats can readily transmit COVID-19, notably beneath natural circumstances. The second pet dog had persistently negative outcomes of exams for the virus.

In other circumstances, they seek animals who can compete in athletic ability or agility contests. In … Read More

Black Lives Matter

The members of the Department of Music express our strong support for those protesting in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd. We are saddened and outraged by the systemic racism within the criminal justice system and in our society, and we believe immediate and substantive reform to policing practices and to the larger criminal justice system are urgently needed. We categorically oppose any militarized response to American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights to free speech and peaceable assembly. We stand with those seeking justice for George Floyd, Ahmaud Aubrey, Breonna Taylor and the many other victims of racism and violence. We believe that we all have an important role to play in actively opposing systemic racism and as educators and music practitioners we are obligated to use our voices and craft as instruments of much-needed change in our institutions and communities.

As music scholars and practitioners, we recognize that music can both perpetuate inequity and violence and also provide powerful responses to violence by giving voice to trauma, promoting justice and healing, and uniting communities in times of struggle. We choose to use the power of music to effect positive change. We stand with Black Americans, other communities of color and all who bravely resist injustices. We pledge to examine our curriculum, pedagogy, repertoire, hiring practices and mentoring protocols in light of this commitment and to undertake the necessary work of dismantling systems of oppression within our walls and beyond.

When adverse life events, e.g., hospitalization, the onset of a disability, involuntary job loss, or a financial crisis, occur to retirement-aged parents it is likely that their adult children are also impacted. What these intergenerational impacts are is the subject of a new Upjohn Institute working paper titled “Adverse Life Events and Intergenerational Transfers” by Jessamyn Schaller (Claremont McKenna College) and Chase Eck (University of Arizona).

Schaller and Eck use panel data to examine events affecting parents’ households and the likelihood that parents bequeath assets to—or receive money or some other form of assistance from—their children. Besides offering standard descriptive statistics and results from regression analyses, the authors conduct an event study analysis by examining the changes in transfers following adverse events in parents’ households.

Their work shows that there are large decreases in the likelihood that children receive financial transfers following parents’ wealth loss or job displacement; parents increase transfers following spousal death and reduce them with the onset of disability and poor health; and that children, particularly those with low-wealth parents, increase financial transfers and in-kind assistance following adverse events in their parents’ households.

Schaller and Eck’s work is partly supported by an Upjohn Institute Early Career Research Award.

“Our analysis adds to the new literature on the dynamics of transfer behavior within households and also reveals potentially important intergenerational effects of adverse events.”

    Boost for housing market as Japan’s biggest housebuilder, Sekisui House, moves into UK

    14 May 2019

    Japan’s biggest housebuilder will move into the UK housing market with immediate effect after striking a multi-million pound deal that will see it work with Homes England and Urban Splash to deliver thousands of new homes across England.

    £90m investment boost to the UK housing market

    Sekisui House take a 35% equity stake in Urban Splash’s modular House business

    Investment will deliver new housing stock using modern methods of construction

    Sekisui House, one of the world’s leading housebuilders, are pioneers of modern methods of construction, where homes are built in factories and then shipped out to sites.

    The £90m deal, which has been facilitated by lead real estate and financial advisor JLL, comprises a total new investment of £55m into regeneration company Urban Splash’s ‘House’ development business. It provides a significant boost to the UK’s modular housing industry and will help to speed up production of much-needed new homes.

    Sekisui House have invested £22m of new equity, with £30m of equity and debt funding coming from the Government’s Home Building Fund, administered through Homes England.

    Experienced entrepreneur Noel McKee, founder of We Buy Any Car, has also made a sizeable investment in the new partnership and will take an incremental c 5% stake.

    Yoshihiro Nakai, President and Representative Director of Sekisui House Ltd said:

    We are extremely pleased to be able to work together with Homes England and Urban Splash to establish our operations and help to create outstanding communities in the UK.

    “Using modern methods of construction to build high quality homes with short build times is one of our company’s great strengths. Our technology and know-how can help resolve pressing social issues in the UK, and I want to see us play our part effective immediately. These operations can also help bring vitality to UK regions, and we will work to make the strongest connections with the local communities.

    ‘House’ is expected to deliver thousands of homes across England using modern methods of construction.

    Minister of State for Housing, Kit Malthouse MP, said:

    “Sekisui House bring with them a proven track record in harnessing the modern methods of construction that are transforming home building.

    “Backed by Government investment, today’s announcement will support our urgent mission to deliver more, better and faster home construction to ensure a new generation can realise the dream of home ownership.”

    Homes England, the government’s housing accelerator, has been instrumental in providing significant financial support and expertise to the new partnership as well as providing assurance to the investors.

    Sir Edward Lister, Chair of Homes England, said:

    “When Homes England launched last year we said we’d disrupt the housing market to increase the pace of construction. By helping bring one of the world’s largest and most innovative housebuilders to UK shores, we’re putting our money where our mouth is.

    “By creating a more diverse landscape – where smaller builders such as Urban Splash get a stronger foothold – we’re rebuilding the building industry; driving up quality and improving consumer choice.”

    Tom Bloxham MBE, Chairman of Urban Splash, said:

    “We believe that there is a real opportunity in the UK housebuilding industry. We hope to leverage our 25 years of place-making experience and our recent investments into modular housing by bringing in new partners; having looked far and wide we chose Sekisui House from Japan because of the company’s unrivalled global experience in modular construction and shared values and philosophy that we are making homes not units, and a joint belief in the need for a green future.

    “We are also proud to partner with Homes England – part of the UK Government – because of their commitment to modular and desire to grow capacity in the UK housing business.

    “We are incredibly excited about the accelerated production of much-needed homes and evolving traditional practices as we embrace the benefits of innovative offsite construction. I hope it will establish us as the housing partner of choice for landowners – both public and private.”

Joe Baudo Has Led a Surge of Youth Hockey Participation in Already Hockey-Mad New York

By Greg Bates, 08/04/20, 10:00AM MDT

Baudo has served as president of the New York State Amateur Hockey Association since 2000

New York has been a hockey hotbed for a long time.

With three NHL teams in the state, youth players are able to watch their idols from a young age.

When Joe Baudo became president of the New York State Amateur Hockey Association (NYSAHA) in 2000, there were about 45,000 youth skaters in the association. With Baudo still leading the way 20 years later, growth has increased by nearly 20%, with the figures now hovering around 55,000 players.

It excites Baudo knowing he’s affecting 55,000 young minds with a positive thing like hockey.

“It’s something that I’ve enjoyed doing all these years,” said Baudo. “When you walk into an ice rink and there’s kids that you’ve known for years that may have played for you when you coached or you know their families and they still remember you, it’s nice to see that. You feel that you’ve made some difference in their life that’s positive one way or another.”

With how much area New York covers, it is divided into four regions. That makes it easier to manage every area.

“We’re a single state, but in some ways we’re like other Districts that have four or five states,” Baudo said. “We divide New York into four areas, west, central, east and north and have a vice president in every one of those areas.”

Baudo, 69, said he has a good group of fellow volunteers who make his life a lot easier.

He lives in the Buffalo suburb of Tonawanda, and has been a lifelong hockey fan. Once his kids started playing hockey, Baudo decided to get involved with his area association.

His oldest son, Joe Jr., got into the sport in 1981. A couple years later, Baudo joined the board of Wheatfield Blades Hockey Association (North Tonawanda). He started out as equipment manager before moving to to secretary and then president from 1986-90. He became the NYSAHA vice president in 1993 and took over as president in 2000. Baudo has served as a member of the USA Hockey Board of Directors for the past 16 years and during that time has also been part of the organization’s Youth Council.

“I still enjoy doing it — the people you know, the people you meet,” Baudo said. “I’ve got a lot of friends throughout the entire country because of it. It’s good, and it’s good to get back and watch kids go out and enjoy what they’re doing. I tell people that some of the biggest thrills are when I get players that come back and still remember you.”

Baudo used to coach Kevyn Adams, who played 13 seasons in the NHL. Brian Gionta, an 18-year NHL veteran, also runs into Baudo once in a while.

Both of Baudo’s son went on to play college hockey and are still involved in the sport. Joe Jr., is a college hockey official, and Baudo’s younger son, Chris, is the Nazareth College women’s hockey head coach.

Youth Hockey Home

Baudo has been able to juggle his volunteer hockey career in large part due to the support from his wife, Deb. After serving for 34 years as a senior engineer for the Buffalo Sewer Authority, Baudo retired in 2006. At that point, he was able to dedicate more time to hockey. Even in retirement, he needed to stay active and is working part-time at the Brighton Golf Course in Tonawanda.

Come Play Youth Hockey

Over his years as president, Baudo has led efforts to provide as many opportunities for young players as possible. The NYSAHA has offered a successful learn-to-skate program for years. The association has six trailers spread out throughout New York that are filled with equipment, so whenever local affiliates want to run a free skate, they have the resources at their fingertips. The trailers also contain sled hockey gear. Disabled hockey is one of the highest areas of growth in
the state.

“We’ve tried to make the game better in New York and tried to make it more available for kids,” Baudo said. “Over the years, we’ve given away a bunch of equipment, grant money and stuff like to help people grow. Basically, just give them a place to play.”

Adding new players has always been a big goal. Once kids are in the association, the retention rate is really high, Baudo said. But with the uncertainty of what’s going on in the world right now with the coronavirus pandemic, Baudo isn’t sure what numbers will look like for the fall.

“One of our biggest goals is trying to keep the younger numbers up,” Baudo said. “If we do that, that will carry through to the older ages.”

One of the toughest decisions Baudo has ever been involved with as NYSAHA president was to cut the 2019-20 season short because of the outbreak of COVID-19. New York had its state tournament going on in Amherst in March, but Westchester County was one of the first hotspots for the pandemic. Ultimately, the event was cancelled.

“That’s one of the toughest ones,” Baudo said. “In our case, we had that first weekend going and we had 156 teams scheduled to come in, so you’re talking about a couple thousand kids.

“The safety of the players and the people are most important.”

The next step for the NYSAHA is getting ready for a safe return to hockey as a new season approaches. Baudo has been leading Zoom meetings with NYSAHA board of director members every couple weeks to address the topic.

Baudo is determined to help make the new season the best for the players. That’s what he has always strived to do during his tenure as president.

Web to Watch: 'First Kiss' parody with sniffing dogs

Daniel Hurwitz
special for USA TODAY
London-based ad agency Mother London parodies the 'First Kiss' viral video with a bunch of sniffing dogs.

Today's Pick:FIRST SNIFF (First Kiss Parody)

The Topic: Everyone fell in love with the viral First Kiss video and then out of love once they realized it was really just a clothing company advertisement with a bunch of models. Now the Internet has given us a far less controversial version: First Sniff. London-based advertising agency Mother London gathered some dogs and asked them to sniff each other's behinds for the first time on camera. Just like the original, the parody is shot in black and white and set to the same indie background music. Only this time around there's a lot less awkward giggling and a lot more uninhibited dog sniffing.

The judge who sentenced Larry Nassar is America's newest #shero

Judge Rosemarie Aquilina listens to Abigayle Bergeron's victim statement during the sixth day of Larry Nassar's sentencing hearing on Jan. 23, 2018, in Lansing, Mich.

'I'm sorry it took this long'

It was a remarkable seven-day hearing that concluded Wednesday with Judge Rosemarie Aquilina telling Michigan sports doctor Larry Nassar, “I just signed your death warrant.” Aquilina, who sentenced Nassar to up to 175 years in prison on charges of sexual assault, had opened up her courtroom to more than 150 women and girls, including Olympic gymnasts, who gave statements against him. Aquilina let survivors say their piece, then she encouraged them to place blame firmly on their abuser. “Leave your pain here,” Aquilina told one woman, “and go out and do your magnificent things.” Here are some of Aquilina's most powerful quotes:

Jeff Sessions is raising the threat level against 'sanctuary cities'

The Justice Department is threatening 23 so-called sanctuary cities, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, with subpoenas if they fail to provide documents to show whether local law enforcement officers are sharing information with federal immigration authorities. The demand, outlined Wednesday by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, represents a new escalation by the Trump administration to punish local jurisdictions that do not fully comply with federal immigration enforcement efforts. USA TODAY's Kevin Johnson has the rundown

Our TV binge habit might cost us more money

Didn’t we just go through this a couple months ago? With Netflix riding high on new subscriber additions, it’s possible our Stranger Things or Orange is the New Black marathons will be more expensive. Wall Street analysts suggest Netflix could raise prices again without sweating any lost subscribers. It worked last time, when it raised the price of its most popular plan by $1 a month in October. During that quarter, Netflix added more than 8 million members. And we thought cutting cable would save us cash.

Botox scandal rocks camel beauty pageant. (Yes, camels — you read that right)

Twelve camels reportedly were disqualified from a Saudi Arabia "camel beauty contest" after judges found out the animals were given Botox. According to Reuters, camels are judged not only on their size and hump, but also their "droopy lip and large features." That's why some "cheaters" turn to fillers, according to the United Arab Emirates newspaper The National. "They use Botox for the lips, the nose, the upper lips, the lower lips and even the jaw," Ali Al Mazrouei, son of a top Emirati breeder, told The National. "It’s like, ‘Oh look at how big that head is. It has big lips, a big nose'." What is it they say about the eye of the beholder?

What else we're reading:

  • Toys R Us is closing up to 182 stores. Since we were speaking of animals, pour one out for Geoffrey the Giraffe while you skim through the list
  • We remain heartbroken over Tuesday's school shooting in Kentucky. A nearby community was also stunned 20 years ago when a gunman opened fire on a prayer circle, killing three. For the sister of one of those victims, the pain is still fresh: "I couldn't believe this could happen again."
  • Dilly, dilly, indeed.America's favorite beers are: 1) Bud Light, 2) Coors Light, 3) Miller Light. Budweiser used to come in at No. 3, but the king of beers has been dethroned. Overall beer trends for 2017 suggest people are drinking less beer.
  • Are you watching 'This is Us'? We got more clues into Jack's death, and a promise that all will be revealed. Spoiler alert: If you haven't watched Tuesday night's episode, don't read this.
  • Let us count the Waze. When turn-by-turn directions go horribly wrong, your car somehow ends up at the bottom of Lake Champlain.

"If you drew a three-way Venn diagram that compared
style, durability, and price, Vaer’s watches would be dead center."

- Huckberry

Essentially Unbeatable

What's the best possible watch you could make for under $150? That was guiding question in creating the Vaer S5. Are there cheaper alternatives out there? Sure - do those cheaper options feature an award-winning case design, and a guaranteed waterproof warranty? Definitely not. While this may be the introductory Vaer watch, it's also the best value, with design and durability that punches far above the price point.

Water Resistance Rating

Love the water? The Vaer S5 is perfectly suited for swimming, surfing and diving.

Glass Crystal

The S5 feature a scratch resistant sapphire crystal built to handle extreme outdoor use.

The S5 features best-in-class lume paint that maintains a visible glow well into the night.

Guaranteed Waterproof

10ATM tested with a locking crown

Vaer has always been an ocean-based brand. Headquartered half a mile from the Pacific coastline, we view water resistance not merely as a hypothetical "nice-to-have," but as a functional everyday necessity. While all Vaer watches are guaranteed waterproof, the S5 is particularly well suited to extended ocean adventures, boating trips, and overland backpacking due to the extreme accuracy of quartz powered watches. While the Vaer mechanical A5 and A7 collections offer elevated technical craftsmanship, the S5 quartz is the best set-it-and-forget option for outdoor use.

2x Easy Change Straps

Endless Customization with Additional Straps

One of the unique features of S5 collection is a standard set of 2 nylon single pass straps, which are based on the top selling combinations of our other lines. However all Vaer straps are fully compatible with the S5 - allowing a huge amount of customization by adding a 3rd or 4th strap. Pairing the watch with our USA made Horween Leathers straps, or our range of ocean-ready nylon and silicone designs help keep the watch feeling new, even with years of everyday use.

** Horween leather straps sold separately

Built to Last

Bringing an end to planned obsolescence

Your daily wristwatch is an incredibly important and personal object. Regardless of price point, we're dedicated to the idea that watches should grow more valuable over time as they collect memories, and confront new challenges. The Vaer S5 is powered by a battery that will keep accurate time for 3-5 years. After this period, the battery can be easily replaced either by a local watch shop, by our team of technicians in Los Angeles (via mail), or if you have the tools, at home on your workbench.

Purchase with Confidence

Vaer is a small self-funded company, and we’ve spent countless hours designing and building the S5 watch. We hope you love it as much as we do. But if for some reason there's a problem or it's not a fit, you can get in touch with us, and as the founders we'll do everything we can to ensure you have a positive experience with our brand.

Free Shipping

For Purchases in America

Due to batch assembly and demand, most watches ship in 7 days.

Easy Returns

Full Refund within 30 Days

We think you'll love this watch. If not, we make it easy to exchange.

Private In-Home and Online Tutoring Near You

Receive personally tailored lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations. Varsity Tutors helps thousands of people asking, "How do I connect with the best tutors near me?"

If you're looking to get your student some assistance with his or her reading skills, Varsity Tutors can help connect you with Dayton reading tutors who can help your student build confidence and develop their abilities with the written word.

If your student is struggling with reading, you should both know that they are far from alone. In fact, across the United States, more than a few students are reading below grade level. Unfortunately, teachers in traditional school environments often don't have the time to help students develop the skills they need to become active readers. As other subjects enter the picture, it becomes difficult for students to build their comprehension skills. If that happens, it makes every other subject that much harder, making it easy for students to lose confidence and fall behind in their studies.

If that describes your student, you should know that there's nothing wrong with getting additional help, and Dayton reading tutoring can be a big part of that. We can help connect you with a qualified instructor who understands the struggles of reading at a young age and has the necessary skills to help students at all skill levels build on their abilities.

How can Dayton reading tutors near me help my student?

Working with a qualified instructor can go a long way toward helping a student develop self-confidence and improve their study skills. In traditional school settings, larger class sizes can mean that education must follow a teaching model that works for the majority. However, not every student learns the same way, and when students are forced to try to learn in a way that doesn't work well with their skills, the results often aren't satisfactory to either the student, the parent, the teacher, or the school.

Opting to work with Dayton reading tutors can fix that because they can put the focus solely on your student and the way that they learn best. Instead of trying to shoehorn your student's learning style and personality into one educational strategy, a private instructor can tailor the lesson plan to your student's needs, skills, and interests. Let's say that your student has shown a propensity for using flashcards to remember the definitions of new words. Your instructor can help by providing visual ways to study words, sentence structure, and other aspects of reading comprehension to make it easier for your student to get to know these concepts.

Maybe your student works best when he or she is able to read something aloud and discover words by pronouncing them. Working with the best Dayton reading tutors allows your student to hold a reading session with them and get immediate feedback on the definition of words that are difficult to understand. You can even have your student try learning in a different way than what they're used to in order to see if their issues stem from being taught in a manner that doesn't work well with their skills. If there's a strategy that you or your student think could be beneficial, your instructor will be happy to use that to guide the lesson.

Dayton reading tutoring can also help parents figure out the best ways to assist their student beyond the learning sessions. Your instructor can give you feedback on where your student shows high amounts of interest. This can help you find a way to nurture that interest and help build their reading skills at the same time. If your student lights up at the mention of sporting events, for example, you can try reading a story together about the University of Dayton's basketball team. You can let your student go over the details and determine the main idea of the piece. Maybe your student enjoys the beauty of nature and could try reading a book about trees. Students tend to respond well when skills are presented in a way that interests them, so if your Dayton reading tutors spot it, it could be the first step to making reading something that your student feels they can master.

What kinds of students can benefit from working with Dayton reading tutors near me?

The beauty of Dayton reading tutoring is that any student can benefit from spending extra time on their reading, regardless of their skill level. Perhaps your student already reads at the top of his or her grade level and isn't feeling challenged by the current reading assignments that their peers are absorbing. Rather than move them into a different reading class and force them to leave their friends, which can be difficult for a student, you can instead have them work independently with Dayton reading tutors and focus on more challenging books that will pique their interests and encourage them to further develop their academic skills.

That can be a big help because it keeps the student in control of their studies. In the classroom, a student is limited by the books that either the teacher or the school system thinks they should read. These books don't always match a student's interests, making reading a chore instead of an enjoyable activity. Dayton reading tutoring allows you to work with your instructor to select books and passages that your student will want to read. If there's a book that your student loves, you can ask your Dayton reading tutors to find similar books to it to encourage your student to keep going with discovering the joys of reading.

Plus, your student can do all of this at a time and place that's convenient for you, thanks to our Live Learning Platform. The Live Learning Platform allows your student to engage in Dayton reading tutoring from any location that has a reliable internet connection, such as the Woodbourne Public Library. All you need to do is have your student log in and connect with his or her instructor, and you'll be able to start your sessions.

The LLP gives your student the opportunity to get feedback in real time from Dayton reading tutors at any point in the lesson. Perhaps your student is reading a novel and comes across a passage that doesn't make a lot of sense to them. It's easy to pause and discuss the passage in question with your instructor while it's still fresh in your student's mind, allowing them to get a complete grasp of the point of what they're reading. If you're working on contrasting two different points of view, you can make each individual point to your instructor as it comes, either by video chat or by text.

Treatment for Facial Reticular Veins

posted in: Varicose Veins

Reticular veins are damaged veins where the valves don’t open and close properly, which allows blood to pool. The blue and green dilated veins are common on the face and legs. Reticular veins can cause many uncomfortable symptoms, and they can seriously affect your appearance and self-esteem. In size, these veins fall between small spider veins and larger varicose veins. Treatment options include laser therapy, pulsed light treatments, thermocoagulation, sclerotherapy and microphlebectomy. Sometimes, these techniques are used in combination to maximise therapeutic results.

Treatments for telangiectasias and reticular veins include sclerotherapy, laser therapy, intense pulsed light treatment, microphlebectomy and thermocoagulation. These techniques can be used in combination to maximise the effects and avoid any harms of the individual techniques.

Treatment for Facial Reticular Veins - Blue Veins on Face - Vein Solutions

Reticular Veins Present Big Cosmetic Concerns for Men and Women

The biggest concern for most people who have reticular veins is cosmetic, but there are health and wellness problems that affect some patients. The veins appear as short, jagged lines under the skin that can appear blue, green or red. When blood valves don’t close properly, the blood can pool or flow backward, which causes the vein to enlarge and/or change colour.

Although reticular veins are usually a cosmetic concern, they can cause burning, itching and general discomfort. When the veins appear on the legs, they can indicate dangerous blood backup that can result in blood clots, poor circulation and skin ulcers. Both spider and reticular veins are referred to as telangiectasias, but spider veins seldom raise as many health concerns as reticular veins pose. [1]

Symptoms of Reticular Veins

The symptoms of reticular veins range from unnoticeable to major health risks. About 80 percent of adults eventually develop reticular veins, they most commonly appear on the ankles, thighs, calves and behind the knees. The veins appear more often prominent in people with fair skin. Reticular veins are also common precursors to spider veins. When large concentrations of the veins appear, they can be as debilitating as varicose veins. Symptoms include:

  • Unappealing skin skin clusters, marbling and darkened areas of the skin
  • Feelings of heaviness and fatigue
  • Skin discomfort
  • Inflammation of the affected area
  • Burning and itching of the skin
  • Excessive tenderness of the skin
  • Poor blood circulation – especially in the legs
  • Possible blood clots and skin ulcers

Most people are more concerned about the cosmetic appearance of prominent, dilated and discoloured veins, but the condition can raise more serious vascular health issues. Venous insufficiency is a common problem associated with reticular veins, so it’s important to see a doctor to evaluate your vein issues to determine the cause.

Risk Assessment of Developing Reticular Veins

The common risks of developing reticular veins or other chronic venous disorders rises with age and other risk factors. [2] Some of the most common risk factors of developing reticular veins include:

  • Hereditary predisposition
  • Obesity
  • Prolonged sitting or standing
  • Excessive sun exposure
  • Menopause
  • Pregnancy
  • Hormonal changes caused by age or health disorders
  • Smoking
  • Environmental or behavioural factors
  • Previous history of thrombophlebitis
  • Dietary habits
  • Hypermobility

Medical management of reticular veins is based on clinical examinations conducted by general practitioners or dermatologist specialists. Early diagnosis and intervention are the keys to successful prevention and management of the condition.

Intervention Options and Their Efficacy

If you have any kind of issue with varicose, reticular and spider veins, the good news is that these conditions are very treatable with minimally invasive techniques. The old method of stripping veins through surgical incisions has largely been replaced. [3]

Vein treatment centres are offering less invasive options that produce better results at lower costs. The particular approach for your case depends on many factors that include the size, type and location of the veins. Some of the top treatment options for reticular veins include the following approaches:

Sclerotherapy seems to be the benchmark of treatment options in current medical practice. Also called injection therapy, this treatment approach is commonly the first choice of physicians and their patients. In this treatment, a small amount of chemical irritant is injected into the vein. The chemical causes the vein to swell, stick together and seal off from the circulatory system.

Your circulation isn’t impaired from this technique because other blood vessels compensate rapidly to deliver blood to the affected area. Sodium tetradecyl sulfate is most commonly used, but a new compound called polidocanol works just as well. There is always the possibility that someone will be allergic – especially those with a history of asthma or allergies. You should inform your doctor if you have allergies or asthma as a precaution. [3]

The treatment does cause some pain and temporary bruising and swelling. There is some risk of hematoma, scarring and ecchymosis. That’s why some doctors and specialists prefer laser therapies to treat facial reticular veins.

Sclerotherapy can be performed by licensed dermatologists, and the treatment usually takes one to three sessions. The procedure doesn’t require any anaesthesia, and each session lasts between 15 minutes and an hour. After treatment, you need to protect the area by wearing bandages or compression stockings until the veins scab over and eventually disappear.

Laser and Radiofrequency Treatments

Laser and radiofrequency treatments are preferred by most aesthetic practitioners for dealing with facial reticular veins. That’s because both radiofrequency and laser pulses deliver effective long-term results – usually without damaging facial skin.

Clinical studies show that laser therapy satisfies between 75 percent and 100 percent of reticular vein patients. Recurrence of the veins is limited to 10 percent or less of patients who elect laser therapy. There are some problems treating veins that extend into the hairline because the laser pulses can destroy hair follicles.

Laser light is monochromatic light of one wavelength. The photons, light particles, are lined up in a steady stream and carry tremendous energy. The energy is used to target and heat up small veins, which shrink, close and disappear as the body heals. Doctors and dermatologists can target veins precisely with different types of lasers and settings, so the therapy can be used to target red, blue or green veins at different skin depths.

Different levels of power can also be used, so doctors can target the area to be treated very precisely with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. That makes lasers particularly effective for facial treatments where aesthetics is especially important. Access to laser treatments with flexible treatment options allows doctors to individualise treatment. The therapy does require an experienced operator, which is why some aesthetic companies use pre-programme settings.

Electrolysis and Radiofrequency Ablation

Electrolysis and radiofrequency machines generate electrical or radiofrequency pulses using the tip of a fine-bore needle to heat up the treatment area. This method of treatment is the most affordable way to eliminate small clusters of facial reticular veins.

The heat generated by the electrode or electrodes destroys veins and tissue, but the technique requires an experienced operator for the best results.

Intense Pulsed Light

Pulsed light beams are perfect for facial treatments of reticular veins. IPL machines generate concentrated bursts of white light, which can heat the veins and cause them to shrink and dry up and shut down. The white light contains some ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. Different filters are used to block unwanted wavelengths before they hit the treatment area. The area treated can be quite large, which makes IPL treatment effective for treating large areas of the skin for problems like rosacea or extensive spider or reticular veins. [4]

Microphlebectomy is the process of making small incisions with surgical blades hypodermic needles and other devices to remove blood vessels that generate health risks or unappealing aesthetics. Clamps are used to limit bleeding during the process. [5]

Phlebectomies of facial reticular veins and spider veins aren’t highly recommended. The approach works better with larger varicose veins, and it takes an expert technician to work on facial veins without damaging surrounding tissue and leaving scars. The technique works fairly well for bulging veins in the centre of the forehead and the periorbital and temporal regions, which are located around the eyes and the temple area respectively.

The incisions used in microphlebectomy are usually less than ¼ of an inch, which is just large enough to remove the vein. The incisions don’t require stitches to close, and small strips of tape are used. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis, but like any surgical procedure, there is pain afterward and a longer recovery period. The cosmetic results are usually positive, and the swelling, bruising and pain disappear within a short time.

Thermocoagulation is similar to sclerotherapy and laser therapies.

[6] The technique uses High Frequency Current to discharge heat energy in a small, focused area. The energy discharge produces a thermal lesion that causes the vein – or other skin imperfection – to disappear. The process generally produces no damage to surrounding skin and results in a small, red mark that disappears within just a few hours. The procedure is considered very safe, can be done in an hour or less and poses no risks of scarring or blistering.

Combination Therapies for Treating Facial Reticular Veins

The most important aspect of treating reticular veins is discovering whether the condition was caused by an underlying venous insufficiency. If not, it’s safe to use the cosmetic treatments for spider and reticular veins caused by genetics, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and behavioural or environmental factors.

Combination treatments might include treating the veins with a laser and following up the treatment with the injections of a sclerosing agent into a feeder vein. The secondary treatment usually takes about 20 minutes a session, and most patients schedule two to four sessions. There are many modalities for treating reticular veins, and you and your doctor can work together to craft a treatment plan that offers the best prospect for long-term success.

Vein Treatment: Safe, Affordable and Effective

In general, the smaller the veins, the easier they are to treat when they don’t function properly and/or create an unappealing facial appearance. Reticular veins can darken, become prominent and create an unwanted facial focal point. Treating venous problems in the face is a common aesthetic procedure. Different treatment options work well in general, so most people can find a procedure that suits their needs.

Only those veins that pose a significant health threat qualify for insurance cover, but spider, varicose and reticular veins all indicate some degree of venous insufficiency. You can improve your circulatory health, remove unsightly blemishes and strengthen your holistic wellness by getting treatment for facial reticular veins.

2018 Scout’s Honor Proprietary Blend, Napa Valley

This delicious red blend honors our late and beloved Labrador Retriever, Scout. This wine is based on a tradition of producing a full bodied and delicious red wine. We start with a base of old-vine Zinfandel and build upon that with dry-farmed Petite Sirah, old-vine Charbono, and finish with mountain vineyard Syrah. The result is an unpretentious, generous mouthful of red wine that we recommend be opened and enjoyed immediately upon release.

This vintage has a gorgeous, concentrated assemblage of violets, anise, honeysuckle, blue herbs, and a touch of vanillin. The palate is pure richness with loads black fruits and currants, pepper spice, and an enveloping masculinity of char and tannins from the Syrah, Charbono and Petite Sirah. A seamless balance and mouth coating deliciousness lead to a wine that is quite pleasing to the senses. Cellared correctly it will age for 5 to 8 years.

In The Vineyard

Harvest was normal due to a steady growing season, taking place between September 28th and October 21st, with an average Brix of 27.8 degrees. Grapes were farmed and harvested from four single vineyards in Napa Valley. The Zinfandel was picked from two, old-vine (60 to 100+ years old), dry-farmed vineyard sources: Venge’s newly acquired “Signal Fire Vineyard” estate, and the Frediani Vineyard—both located in the heart of Calistoga. The Charbono is from old, dry-farmed vines (60 to 100+ years old) also planted in the Frediani Vineyard. Robbie Mondavi’s Oso Vineyard located on Howell Mountain supplies the Petite Sirah—we love this site!  And, Napa’s finest Syrah from Stagecoach Vineyard, high in the mountains of the Atlas Peak AVA, completes the blend.

In The Cellar

The small, individual lots of fruit were destemmed into a combination of stainless steel tanks and open top fermenters, where whole-berry fermentation took place for an average of 20 days. The wine was barrel aged for 14 months in 50% new American Oak and the balance in once used tight grain French Oak. No conventional pumps were used in the making of this wine. Only diaphragm air pumps, forced air pressure movement, or bulldogging, and transfers by gravity were employed to preserve the pure fruit integrity in the wine.
