|Most Handbooks that HR Ideas assists clients in producing have a "Post Accident Drug Testing" Section.
OSHA takes the position that blanket post-incident drug testing policies deter employees from reporting workplace injuries. While the new rule does not ban drug testing of employees, it prohibits employers from using drug testing (or the threat of drug testing) as a form of adverse action against employees who report injuries or illnesses.
OSHA states that drug testing policies should limit post-incident testing to situations in which employee drug use is likely to have contributed to the incident, and for which the drug test can accurately identify impairment caused by drug use.
While OSHA does not require employers to specifically suspect drug use before testing, the agency states that there should be a reasonable possibility that drug use by the reporting employee was a contributing factor to the reported injury or illness in order for an employer to require drug testing.
OSHA further stated that if an employer conducts drug testing to comply with the requirements of a state or federal law or regulation (such as a workers' compensation law), the employer's motive would not be retaliatory, and the final rule would not prohibit such testing.
If you're planning to spend any time out in the extreme heat, even just resting, you're going to want to drink one 16-ounce bottle of water per hour to keep your body hydrated. You should start hydrating well before you spend time in the sun.
That means if you're out during the hottest parts of the day, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., you want to put down nine 16 oz. bottles total!
And if that time is spent outside working, double that number. Be ready to drink two 16-ounce bottles per hour. That's the amount the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends to outdoor workers in extreme heat.
Certain medical conditions, physical conditioning, and age may increase those totals. Some drugs you may be taking may negatively affect your tolerance to heat and your body's natural cooling system.
Stay away from caffeinated and alcoholic drinks!
Sick leave laws continue to complicate employer's administration, especially for those with multiple businesses in different cities or states. Last July, California passed a new sick leave law. Today, there are seven (7) states that have their own sick leave law. If that's not enough, seven (7) ciities in California have passed their own laws including San Francisco, Oakland, Emeryville, Pittsburg, Los Angeles, Santa Monica and San Diego. The laws continues to change and challenge employers. It is expected that California will continue to change this law. Remember, you must comply with both the City and State laws. This means you need to review both laws carefully and create a combined policy built on what is most favorable to the employee. Once the policy is updated, it must be distributed to all your employees, post the new law, and train your management team. We see our employers getting in trouble because their managers are often harassing their employees when they need to take time off under sick leave.
HRI can help you with the policy and training! Just contact us at 925.556.4404 or [email protected]
Muslims around the world are celebrating the month-long religious holiday of Ramadan from June 5 to July 5. As part of their observance, many Muslims are required to fast and refrain from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset. Many will also partake in daily prayers (up to five times a day, including before dawn and at sunset) and special evening prayers.
Since federal and state laws prohibit discrimination based on sincerely held religious beliefs, it is critical for an employer to accommodate Muslim employees observing Ramadan. Here are 10 tips for an employer to accommodate Ramadan in the workplace.
1. Enforce Strong EEO Policies
It is critical for an employer to develop, implement and enforce strong policies prohibiting discrimination, harassment and retaliation based on religion and make sure that such conduct against Muslim employees is not tolerated. Such conduct may include:
• Subjecting Muslim employees to derogatory comments or offensive slurs based on religion;
• Failing to provide Muslim workers with reasonable accommodations such as the opportunity to pray at work; or
• Forcing a Muslim woman to remove her headscarf.
It is also important to have a reasonable accommodation policy stating that all reasonable accommodation requests will be considered, and the employer will have a meaningful dialogue in good faith about the requested accommodation. Employers are required to provide reasonable religious accommodations unless doing so would cause an undue hardship. Your company should make sure that such policies are well-publicized and distributed to all employees and managers, and made part of the employee handbook.
2. Encourage Flexible Hours
It may be a good idea to offer employees observing Ramadan the chance to work flexible hours and come in later in the day and leave later as well. This will allow these employees the chance to sleep later as Ramadan requires that employees pray very late at night or early in the morning.
An employer also should consider allowing employees the chance to work thorough their lunch break since they will not be eating or drinking during the day and either will start their work day later or end earlier. Offering flexible break times also may assist employees during this spiritual time and allow them to pray. If an employee works in shifts, the employer should consider permitting shift swapping to accommodate observant employees.
3. Allow Religious Observance
As part of Ramadan observance, Muslim employees may be required to pray multiple times a day, particularly during working hours. Therefore, an employer should consider setting aside a special room to give employees the privacy and quiet needed to pray. Also, an employer may want to consider granting employees time off to attend prayers at a local mosque.
4. Consider Permitting Telecommuting
Since many Muslim employees may suffer from low energy due to fasting all day, it may be a good idea to offer such employees the opportunity to telecommute so they can work within the comfort of their homes, be more productive and avoid wasting time and energy on commuting to work.
5. Avoid Scheduling Meetings over Meals
An employer should be sensitive during Ramadan and avoid scheduling meetings over meals or compelling employees to attend events involving eating and drinking. If an employer must do so, it should provide Muslim employees with the opportunity to opt out without being penalized.
Likewise, you should avoid scheduling team lunches or dinners during Ramadan as this may be particularly offensive to Muslim employees. Supervisors and co-workers may want to be respectful and minimize eating and drinking in front of fasting employees.
6. Consider Modifying Dress Codes
An employer should attempt to be flexible and provide reasonable religious accommodations to Muslim employees. An employer should be aware that customer preference is never a valid basis to deny a religious accommodation request. However, if modification of a workplace dress code is not acceptable for health, safety or security reasons, the accommodation request may be denied. This all should be well documented and communicated to the employee.
7. Develop a Holiday Policy
At the end of Ramadan, Muslim employees may request time off to prepare for and celebrate Eid-al-Fitr, a three-day holiday concluding Ramadan and a particularly holy time involving prayer, family and gift-giving. This is another reminder that while it may be commonplace for employers to offer time off from work for holidays such as Christmas, it may be a good idea to offer a floating holiday policy to allow all employees to take time off to observe religious holidays, regardless of their faith.
8. Show Understanding
Employers and supervisors may want to consider being more tolerant than usual towards Muslim employees during Ramadan when enforcing workplace policies and conducting daily business. It is best practice to avoid scheduling performance appraisals during this time or critical meetings late in the day when an employee's energy may be at a lower point. An employer should also try to avoid having employees work overtime and extra hours during Ramadan.
9. Be Careful About Discipline
An employer should be especially careful when taking adverse action against Muslim employees during Ramadan, particularly when such issues arise with productivity or absenteeism. This means making sure to have a legitimate and nondiscriminatory reason for taking any such action. What's more, if an employee exhibits productivity or absentee issues, it is best practice for an employer to try to work through the issue before taking disciplinary action which may lead to a discrimination claim.
10. Train Supervisors and Co-Workers
Finally, it is important to educate and train both supervisors and employees about Ramadan, its customs and the employer's policies against discrimination and harassment based on religion. Thus, all supervisors and managers should be trained on how to respond to religious accommodation requests and engage in the interactive process.
|Next week it is projected to be well above 105 degrees in the valley. With all of the fun that come along with summer there is also a major increased risk factor of heat-related medical conditions due to heat stress. Every year thousands of heat-related worker sickness and fatality cases are reported and the numbers increase each year.
What is heat stress? Heat stress can occur when someone is exposed to a usually hot environment while at work, inside or outside, causing the body to heat up. The normal body response to this increase in body temperature is to try to release this excess heat from the body to maintain a healthy internal temperature.
When the body cannot release this excess heat, it causes heat stress within the body that can cause an increased body temperature or increased heart rate. There are several varying stages and symptoms of heat stress everyone needs to be aware of to be able to quickly identify and to address heat stress. The various stages of heat stress include heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
The main key to prevent heat stress is by proper hydration. Prior to being exposed to a potentially hot activity or area, remember to drink plenty of fluids hours before your activity occurs. Remember, it is very difficult and almost impossible to try to "catch up" on replacing bodily fluids if pre-hydration does not occur. Other ways to help prevent or mitigate heat stress is by the use of engineering controls such as fans or air conditioning when possible, completing strenuous activities earlier in the day when it is cooler, taking frequent breaks during the day, drinking plenty of fluids such as water and avoiding caffeinated or alcohol containing drinks, using cooling bands around the neck or head regions, avoiding outdoor activities during high heat index hours, and wearing light colored and loose fitting clothing.
Remember that heat-stress illnesses can affect anyone of any age, body type, or gender, and symptoms of these illnesses can change very quickly which could take someone that is having heat cramp symptoms to heat exhaustion or heat stroke symptoms if left unidentified. With the proper hydration, identification, and planning everyone can prevent heat-stress illnesses while at work or at home.
Is your company ready for the summertime heat and has done the Cal OSHA-required employee training? Do you have a written policy that has been updated to comply with recent Cal OSHA requirements?
Please call your HR Ideas safety professional for more information or assistance before it is too late.
|On June 17, minimum requirements for business first aid kit contents change substantially for the first time in seven years. One industry supplier of such kits said that the new rule will knock thousands of businesses, including restaurants, out of compliance with the American National Standards Institute rules for the medical supplies each company must have on site under U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations.
Though OSHA names American National Standard Institute kits as compliant, this will no longer be the case for ANSI kits that were purchased to comply with 2009 standards, according to a news release. Adding to the confusion, many states have their own standards that either echo the federal minimums or set OSHA regulations as the low bar for required medical supplies on site.
Some businesses will need 145 new items
Depending on the type of business and number of employees, restaurateurs and managers will need to augment their current first aid kits with anywhere from a few dozen to 145 new items. Businesses that qualify to use class A ANSI first aid kits will need 22 more items, while Class B kits and cabinets will require 145 additional items.
If you should have any questions, please contact your HRI safety representative.
The Department of Fair Employment and Housing has issued new guidance
for employers of transgender employees on complying with the Fair Employment and Housing
The guidance makes clear that employers must allow transgender employees access to
restroom, shower, locker room and other such facilities that correspond with their gender
identity. It also suggests that providing individual or unisex restrooms, where possible, can
enhance privacy for all employees.
"Under California law, all employees have the right to use restroom and locker room facilities
that correspond to their gender identity, regardless of their assigned sex at birth," said Kevin
Kish, Director of DFEH.
The DFEH's guidance is consistent with an April 2015 decision of the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission under federal law and a June 2015 "Guide to Restroom Access for
Transgender Workers" published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The guidance was issued following a lawsuit involving a transgender individual who had sought
employment at American Pacific Corporation (AMPAC) in Sacramento in 2011. Finding the law
to be unclear at the time, AMPAC made an offer of employment on the condition that the
applicant use shower, locker room and restroom facilities inconsistent with the individual's
gender identity and expression, unless and until the applicant underwent sex reassignment
surgery. The applicant decided against accepting the job offer.
The lawsuit alleged that AMPAC violated the Fair Employment and Housing Act by engaging in
sex, gender, gender identity and gender expression discrimination and failing to take all
reasonable steps necessary to prevent discrimination.
As part of a settlement, AMPAC will adopt new policies to allow employees access to the
facilities that correspond with their gender identity. In addition, the company will provide training
to all its California employees.

CharityComms has appointed the communications consultant Mark Russell as its new chair.
The membership body for charity PR professionals announced today that Russell would take up the position on 1 March from John Grounds, who is stepping down after completing the maximum six-year term.
A statement from CharityComms said Russell had more than 25 years' experience in advertising agencies, corporate and start-ups, including the communications company J Walter Thompson and 12 years at the bank Santander.
He previously spent six years as chair of the Cleft Lip and Palate Association.
"I'm very privileged to be joining the CharityComms team and trustee board at such an important time, as charities and NFPs continue to grapple with how best to build and maintain trust, communicate their stories and the impact they have on beneficiaries, justify costs and grow engagement among volunteers and supporters," he said.
Grounds said Russell came to the role with "an impressive combination of professional and governance experience from both commercial and charitable organisations".
CharityComms also announced today that the chartered accountant Stephen Critoph would be joining its board as treasurer from 1 March.

At Team Office, we believe "great teams deserve great workplaces." It takes a number of factors to build a great team, but at the very core of great players and great teams is how they see themselves.
If leaders don't believe in themselves and the team's ability to accomplish their mission, success will be impossible. People and teams can never outperform their self-image. The market doesn't determine your value or your price. You determine your value and if you're in a leadership position, you also determine the value and ultimately the success or failure of your team.
We started Team Office in 1999 and we believed we could bring great value to office furniture buyers. We believed in sharing our knowledge, experience and resources to help our clients make decisions that were best for their business. We also believed we could save them time and money when they purchased furniture.
As we built our team, we shared that belief with our people and they shared it with their clients. In the beginning, it was a difficult thing to get people with no industry experience to believe in their own ability to learn new skills and reach their goals. We often believed in our team more than they believed in themselves.
Over time, our team started to believe and in some cases, they started to believe in themselves even more than we did!
A positive self-image comes easier for some than others, but it is absolutely essential to your success and the success of those around you.

|Sande, Sande More & Romsdal, Norway
This is a rare piece of Hot Rod history! This 1935 Ford 3W Coupe was built in 1979 as astate of the art,nut and bolt Project. The previous owner a well known film maker in the hot rod/drag racing industry, claim this to be the first pro street car ever built for street use! The carwasmeticulously put together, professionallytubbed androof shopped 2,5"nearly 40 years ago. The bodywork on this car is absolutely astonishing, considering the age of the build.There where no wheels to buy from the shelves for a pro street car like this in 1978, so the ownerhad Ray Lipper to build a set for this spesific car. As you may know Ray Lipperlater became the founder of the well known Centerline Wheels.The Wheels on this car is said to be the only set made, and are considdered as prototypes.
This 3W coup looks right from any angle. It has a nasty attitude,butlooks absolutelygorgeous at the same time. Theall original rust free steel body, frame, bumpers, doorsand fenders are perfectly assembeled and lined up. This is a highquality build. Everything on this carwas done right, back thenin 1979. Considerable amount of time and moneywas put into this car to get it perfect.According to the previous owner, nobondo/filler wasused on the bodyprior to Paint! The body work is nearly 100%! In factyou could take this car to a show even today, and bring home a price or two. The last Paint job/make over was done 10 years ago, House of Colour Brandy whine.
Crisp responce, nasty sounding 350 SBC engine (very low milage),with matchingTH 400 transmission and Hurst Lightning Rods shifter. 4" dropped and chromed superbell four linkfront axle, and 8 3/4" Mopar rear end With P&Jladders. Disc/drum brakes, air conditioning, power windows, power door release, tilt/telescope GM column. The car has beendriven on the road in the summer,mainlyto and from different car shows and exhibitions the last threeyears. Noproblems or issues whatsoever. Having said this, please remember this is an old hot rod. The vehicle is not perfect. There are scretches and flaws in the Paint, and also minormechanical issues to be adressed.The car is located in Norway where I live. It appears exactly as it was made nearly 40 years ago, the first pro street car, historically correct, untuched, and unaltered. Atrue piece of hot rod history, and a true trendsetter.Iwill assist in getting the vhicleshipped from Europe at buyers cost (approximately$2000).The car comes with an american title/VIN.

"Scraps and sketches from all over the world", drawings by Gaetano Pesce
April 30, 2015
The Galleria Antonia Jannone in Milano will be showing the drawings and sketches of Gaetano Pesce's architectural designs for all over the world. Famous for his dreamy and colourful pieces of furniture, Pesce has a lesser-known career in a personal style of modernist architecture.
Gaetano Pesce's colourful objects and furniture have made him famous all over the world. His drawings and sketches are no less – taking inspiration from Japan to Brazil, filled with bright colours and imagination, over 40 works on paper will be seen on show in the Galleria Jannone until the 23rd of May, 2015.
The object of the exhibition in Galleria Jannone, open since April 27, is to go over the many different projects approached during Pesce's career as an architect, parallel to his work as an acclaimed furniture designer. The drawings present nine very different projects, developed for –and from- different parts of the world, taking inspiration from every location and combining it with Gaetano Pesce's characteristic style.
Ranging from 1989 to 2013, the projects featured in the exhibition comprise a cultural centre in Geneva, a house in Bahía, "El Liston" bar in Fukuoka, Japan; the Made in Italy exhibition for the Triennale di Milano, as well as projects for Kuwait and New York, city in which the Italian designer has lived and worked during the highlight years of his career.
The drawings and sketches, in A4 or A3 format, will be shown together with a selection of designer objects that have made Gaetano Pesce famous all over the world.
Gaetano Pesce
During his career, that spans four decades with commissions in architecture, urban planning, interior, exhibition and industrial design, Gaetano Pesce, the architect and designer, has conceived public and private projects in the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
In all his work, he expresses his guiding principle: that modernism is less a style than a method for interpreting the present and hinting at the future in which individuality is preserved and celebrated.
Born in La Spezia, Italy, in 1939, Pesce studied Architecture at the University of Venice between 1958 to 1963 and was a participant in Gruppo N, an early collective concerned with programmed art patterned after the Bauhaus.
He taught architecture at the Institut d'Architecture et d'Etudes Urbaines in Strasbourg, France, for 28 years, at the Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, at the Domus Academy in Milan, at the Polytechinc of Hong Kong, at the Architectural School of Sao Paulo and at the Cooper Union in New York City, where he has made his home since 1980, after living in Venice, London, Helsinki and Paris.
Pesce's work is featured in over 30 permanent collections of the most important museums in the world, such as MoMa of New York and San Francisco, Metropolitan Museum in New York, Vitra Museum in Germany, Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Pompidou Center and Musee des Arts Décoratifs of Louvre in Paris; he exhibits art in galleries world wide.
His award winning designs include the prestigious Chrysler Award for Innovation and Design in 1993, the Architektur and Wohnen Designer of the Year in 2006 and the Lawrence J. Israel Prize from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York in 2009.
Pesce experience has been global, his innovations consistently groundbreaking. Boundaries between art, design and industry are irrelevant to him, as art is most certainly not something created and put on a pedestal: art is a product, it is our creative response to the needs of the time we live in.

Thinking about dabbling in blockchain or artificial intelligence (AI) at your managing general agency (MGA)? It's probably best to focus on taking smaller steps first.
"There's a whole set of first steps that are being overlooked," said Jeff McCann, CEO of Vancouver-based Digital MGA Marketplace Ltd., which helps brokers with automation solutions. "And that's like, where is your website at? Do you have a mobile-friendly website? Do you have a website, period?"
A lot of dialogue in the insurance industry gets generated around "buzzwords" like AI and blockchain, but it's best to go back to basics, McCann said Tuesday at Insurance-Canada.ca's MGA Technology Symposium in Toronto.
"Do you have a website? And can a broker find your phone number or a contact email on that website?" he asked. "What is the very basic requirements for an MGA or an insurance business to be out there to be accessible? Do your underwriters have LinkedIn so they can be contacted? If someone's considering joining your organization, can they do research about your employer brand? Can they learn about what your organization stands for, your expertise? Do they want to join this company if they can't find it on the internet, if they can't find you on LinkedIn?"
Going back to basics also applies from an operational standpoint. "Have your data in a system… so that it becomes portable," advised Märtin Kosk, commercial manager at Insly, a London, UK-based software provider for MGAs, insurers and brokers. "It used to be that often your policy details or consumer details are stored in folders, but if you take that and put it into a system where it becomes portable, then that already adds some value to it."
A lot of these solutions are web-based, so an MGA doesn't need to store files locally, but can have it online where every team member can access them. "A few years ago, cloud was still a relatively new thing for the insurance industry, so a lot of companies had no cloud function. That's obviously something that's been changing," Kosk said.
With data at the heart of the industry's overall infrastructure, an early step that needs to be addressed is how it's being collected and stored, whether that's cloud-based or taken from PDF application forms or emails.
"At the beginning, I think the key is starting to collect that data in a meaningful way to be used for more interesting insights," McCann said. "I think there's later things that we can do that are very, very interesting around what to do with that data. Are there insights and learnings that we can create from it?"

At Increased Risk For Premature Illness And Death
"Women At Risk: The Health of Women in New York City" Report Released
NEW YORK CITY – March 8, 2005 – New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) Commissioner Dr. Thomas R. Frieden today presented findings from "Women at Risk: The Health of Women in New York City," a new report that outlines health behaviors, health care access, and health outcomes among different economic and racial/ethnic groups of women in New York City. The report, which is structured around the ten key areas from Take Care New York, the City's health policy, is available online at http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/pdf/data/data-womenatrisk-2005.pdf. It was released at a breakfast event at KPMG in Manhattan co-sponsored by DOHMH, The Commonwealth Fund, the Fund for Public Health in New York, and the NYC Commission on Women's Issues.
Overview of the "Women at Risk" Report
The health of women in New York City has greatly improved over the past decade, but some groups of women – particularly black, Hispanic, and low-income women – still experience poor health.
Many women in New York City do not receive appropriate levels of preventive care, including regular cancer screenings and immunizations.
Women lag behind men in heart disease prevention efforts, such as exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight.
Among the report's specific findings are:
Women in New York City's poorest neighborhoods have a life expectancy 5 years shorter than those who in the highest income neighborhoods. Black women have a life expectancy almost 5 years shorter than white women.
Data suggest that women are more obese than men. An estimated 30% of black women, 26% of Hispanic women, 15% of white women, and 10% of Asian women are obese.
Hispanic women and women with low incomes are less likely than most other women to have health care coverage.
Black women are more than twice as likely as white women to die from pregnancy-related complications.
Among women, 27% of years of potential life lost are due to cancer, while cancer is responsible for only 17% of the years of potential life lost among men.
Nearly one-quarter of women age 40 and older have not received a mammogram in the past two years; fewer than half of women age 50 and over have ever had a colon cancer screening; and 1 in 5 women have not had a Pap test in the past three years. Asian women are least likely to receive colon cancer screenings and Pap tests.
The rate of new AIDS diagnoses is 11 times higher among black women than white women and the rate of AIDS deaths is 7 times higher.
Dr. Frieden was joined at the event by Dr. Harold Freeman, Medical Director of the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention; cardiologist Dr. Nieca Goldberg; Dr. Marjorie Hill, Director of the Women's Institute at Gay Men's Health Crisis; Dr. Karen Davis, President of the Commonwealth Fund; and radio personality Valerie Smaldone, of 106.7 Lite-FM. The event focused on three areas of women's health: cancer, HIV/AIDS, and heart health.
DOHMH Commissioner Frieden said, "Women's health has improved greatly in the past decade, but we can do even better. The findings of the "Women at Risk" report identify critical issues, intervention strategies, and particularly vulnerable groups of women." "One of the greatest risks for women in New York City is not to have access to cancer screening, timely diagnosis and treatment," said Dr. Harold Freeman of the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention. Cardiologist Dr. Nieca Goldberg said, "This conference is vital to the health of women in New York City, particularly when it comes to their hearts. Now is the time to focus on the heart health of women at the greatest risk because they are the heart of their families and heart of our city."
Dr. Marjorie Hill of Gay Men's Health Crisis said, "Gender specific HIV prevention, care and treatment must take into account the myriad of psychosocial, economic, human rights and cultural nuances that impact the lives of women, especially women of color. No woman is an island, but many HIV positive women feel isolated and alone."
"These findings highlight the critical importance of health care coverage in ensuring access to medical care; too many women are needlessly at risk for preventable illness because they are uninsured," said Commonwealth
Fund President Karen Davis. "Improving coverage for eligible low-income women in Medicaid and Family Health Plus is a particularly effective way to improve the health of millions of New Yorkers."
"The NYC Commission on Women's Issues continues to focus on the health of women throughout the city for the very reasons this report cites," said Chair of the Commission, Anne Sutherland Fuchs. "We are committed to keeping the health of women in New York a top priority through programs such as Step Out New York, which encourages women to become more physically active."
Data Sources
The report, which was funded by the Commonwealth Fund, is based on a comprehensive review of health data on New York City women aged 18 and older, as well as additional data on female adolescents, from a variety of City, State, and national sources.
"Women at Risk: The Health of Women in New York City" is being distributed to community organizations, elected officials, universities, health care providers, and others throughout the City. The report is online at http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/pdf/data/data-womenatrisk-2005.pdf, or through The Commonwealth Fund website at: http://www.cmwf.org.

High School Intern Program
Each summer, SFUSD high school students conduct original research under the direction of a UCSF scientist mentor. This program is rigorous and intense with just eight short weeks for students to complete their research projects. Unlike most other high school research programs in the country, acceptance into the High School Intern Program (HIP) is not contingent upon grades, students already being committed to a career in science or solidly on a path to college. Rather, HIP seeks to support students' growth and recognition of their own potential by engaging them with authentic science research projects, peer sharing and learning, and individual college counseling. HIP aims to help students develop a sense of belonging in order to broaden their ideas about their own place in college and careers in the biomedical sciences. The majority of program participants come from backgrounds underrepresented in the sciences (minority, low-income, women, from families without a history of college-going, and/or students with disabilities). In order to participate students must attend an SFUSD high school, be a rising senior, and must first be nominated by one of their science teachers.
Each year, 10 of our high school interns are supported with funding from the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). In addition to conducting research specifically related to stem cells and regenerative medicine, these interns are part of a larger community of California high school students participating in CIRM's Summer Program to Accelerate Regenerative medicine Knowledge (SPARK) program. This statewide cohort communicates with the general public about their research experiences through blog and social media postings, and they participate in an annual SPARK conference to share their summer research projects.
Read about the experiences of our CIRM SPARK interns on our blog.
Check out other CIRM SPARK interns from all over California: The Stem Cellar
HIP has first of all given me hope that I could do something with my life someday. - High School Intern
- November: teachers nominate students
- January: students attend informational meetings
- February: students apply
- March: students interview
- June: students begin their internship
- August: students conclude their internship
Nationally, student background correlates with college success:
However, longitudinal outcomes for HIP alumni are inspiring:
These outcomes can only be achieved with the dedicated efforts of the UCSF faculty who generously host interns in their labs, and the UCSF researchers who devote their time and skills to mentoring and inspiring them.
In recognition of HIP's success, the program received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring in 2011.
HIP is one of SEP's longest running programs and is currently funded by the UCSF Chancellor, School of Medicine and Executive Vice Chancellor and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Silicon Valley Community Foundation and the Baskin Family Foundation.
We are currently accepting nominations from teachers for the summer 2020 program. Check your school district email for more details about the program and a link to the nomination form!

- Article number: AS15038
- Publisher: X-Plane.org
- Language: English
- Current version: 1.0.4
The PC-6 is an utility aircraft designed by Pilatus Aircraft. Thanks to its superb STOL performance and easy-to-maintain design it is used all-around the globe to deliver goods where regular aircraft cannot fly.
This aircraft was designed by Thranda thanks to an unlimited access provided by a PC-6 operator.
- Excellent hi-res PBR realistic materials, featuring true-to-life plate deformation and to-the-rivet precision
- First plane to include FULLY configurable 3D instrument panel
- Move any instrument to any location on the panel, or even between pilot and copilot's seat
- Supports 3rd party RealityXP GTN750 instrument
- Save your own presets, and even share them with the community
- Instruments can be moved in 3D directly, on a 2D pop-up preview window, or by numerical entry for precise placement
- GNS430 and 530 can be swapped out, but a restart of the plane is required, as 430s and 530s are mutually exclusive in terms of compatibility
- Dynamic livery editor (like in the Kodiak)
- Create "virtual" liveries, based on one common design layout, and assign any color to any available paint segment
- Quickly create preview of livery in real-time, using intuitive controls
- Apply selected livery in real-time
- Option to include/hide manufacturer logo and "PC-6" sign
- Option to change the tail number in real-time, or disable it altogether
- Easily and quickly create dozens of paint schemes in-sim
- Also supports 12 traditionally painted liveries, all visible in a convenient pre-selection preview window
- SkunkCrafts Updater
- Option to participate in Beta program, via check box in SkunkCrafts Updater
- Feature-rich elegant fly-out menu with the following features:
- Realism settings for engine and tail wheel (simplified vs. realistic modes)
- Innovative electric tug, with in-panel controls to move forward/backward at the desired speed, and steer proportionally
- Control over chocks, individual tie-downs, covers, internal lights, external lights, engine compartment enclosure
- Option to enable/disable wing tanks, with realistically simulated weight, momentum, rotational inertia, and drag characteristics
- Option to start up running (all systems ready), or cold-and-dark, for realistic startup procedures
- Control retractable landing lights via scroll wheel (independent left/right, Infinitely variable tilt, to use lights for both taxi and landing purposes.)
- Ground power unit, with modeled cart
- Detailed weight and balance manager with visual chart, individual passenger seat weight control, Lbs/KG unit toggle, CG control, external tank control, and the option to save and load configuration
- Multiple camera snap points, above and beyond what's available by default in X-Plane, so you can perform your walk around checks
- Adjust your camera's Field of View without having to go to an X-plane menu, allowing for real-time adjustments
- Audio mixer: individually control audio channels in real-time, so you can adjust volumes while hearing them play
- Slew control: move your plane around the world, temporarily bypassing flight physics. Includes ground mode and air mode
- Dynamic panel control page, with a separate view for the entire panel layout preview, or a per-instrument view, allowing for fine-tuning of instrument position, as well as copy-paste function to quickly replace instruments
- The "Misc" page will be updated as progress on the expansion pack continues. Now it's a placeholder page that provides links to support forums, SkunkCrafts Updater, and the Kodiak
- Flight dynamics and systems:
- The PC6 has quite a few very unique flight characteristics, including the ability to enter Beta mode in flight, and these are faithfully reproduced. (This allows for very steep descents.)
- The real PC6 is considered to be a real STOL workhorse, whose flight characteristics and excellent STOL capabilities are calibrated to maximum precision in the sim
- Details, such as the condition lever latch mechanism and a functional throttle gate add to the realism
- Sliding passenger doors respond to G-forces, so when returning from a parachute drop, while on a steep descent, the doors will roll shut
- Over-torquing the engine will cause shaft damage, when in "realistic" mode. This can result in prop loss, cabin smoke, terrifying turbine shaft friction sounds, etc.
- Smoke in engine can be brought under control by killing the "Firewall Air" via cabin lever
- Tie-downs and chocks actually keep the plane from moving, even in high winds
- Advanced FMOD-based sound system:
- High fidelity, multi-track sounds with smooth transitions
- Individual volume control over different aspects of the sound experience, adjustable in real-time (while listening to the sounds)
- Different sounds for front of plane than for back of plane
- Panning around the plane in exterior view yields awesome 3D audio effects, including "blade slapping" sound when view is perpendicular to prop
- Prop pitch produces characteristic aerodynamic aural effects, especially during Beta and Reverse mode
- Individual buttons and switches in the cockpit each have their own unique sound
- Realistic electrical sounds, based on bus load and other factors (Sounds actually give you clues as to what's happening under the hood)
- Realistic oxygen flow sound effects
- Combustion roar sound typical for turboprop engines -recorded from real PT6 engine
- Outside wind intensity is affected by slip and AoA. (The more the surface area of the fuselage is hit by oncoming wind, the louder the sounds)

- Adapted Thranda fly-out window for compatibility with SASL 3.10
- Added some more files to the SkunkCrafts Updater's ignore list
SASL 3.10 upgrade (Came with deprecation of some 2D pop-up window features, forcing a re-design of the Thranda fly-out window)
- Thranda window is now a pop-out-capable window, with no transparency, and no fly-out animation, as SASL 3.10 no longer supports features needed for this
- ASPEN EFD1000 Wind direction indicator fixed
- ASPEN EFD1000 Alt Selector going by 200 ft fixed
- Added altitude select instrument (index 45)
- Renamed livery folders to remove initial numbering
- Created dynamic tailnumber placard for instrument panel

The Dermalogica Precleanse Balm was something new and different for me to try which is a rarity in today's beauty industry. Initially I was a little confused by it but my God I caught on quick and fell head over heels in love with it.
So lets start from the beginning with the packaging. It has your standard unisex white and grey Dermalogica packaging which is fantastic. In my experience in working in the beauty industry more and more men are showing an interest in caring for their skin and their overall appearance so it's great to see a brand as prestigious as Dermalogica offer neutral packaging.
I have used cleansing milks, cleansing creams, cleansing oils but never a cleansing balm so I was intrigued from word go. For best results I squeeze out an almond sized amount of the balm onto the mitt Dermalogica include and massage it into my skin. You can literally feel the product melt and see the makeup dissolving. It gets right into the pores in a gentle but effective way.
Next, I wet my hands or the mitt and again massage this into my face. At this point the balm with go a milky colour, similar to the way it's sister product, Dermalogica Precleanse Oil goes. Lastly I rinse my skin well and follow with my prescribed cleanser.
Next, I wet my hands or the mitt and again massage this into my face. At this point the balm with go a milky colour, similar to the way it's sister product, Dermalogica Precleanse Oil goes. Lastly I rinse my skin well and follow with my prescribed cleanser.
I have to say the mitt feels amazing!! The little bristles are so soft and gentle and really make you feel like you are giving your skin a good and thorough cleanse.
As a beautician, a beauty blogger and just a lover of beauty products in general it isn't often I come across something as new and different as the Dermalogica Precleanse Balm. This one was gifted to me however I will 100% be rushing out to repurchase it when I run out. Besides the Dermalogica Precleanse Balm I also LOVE the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, the Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque and the Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.
If you are interested in the Dermalogica Precleanse Balm or the brand in general you will need to locate your nearest Dermalogica stockist/salon. Once you have found that definitely pay them a visit and have face mapping done. Face mapping is a complimentary service offered by Dermalogica where your skin will be analysed by a Dermalogica trained therapist. It's a fantastic way of getting to know your skin and to find out exactly what will work for you.
I would LOVE to know if you have any favourites from Dermalogica. It's a brand I have gone back to again and again over the years and my skin is the better for it.

Adopt Citrine
Welcome to the 98.5 KTK Wet Nose Wednesday web page, where we show you adoptable pets from local shelters that will make a great addition to your family!
Hi everyone! I'm Citrine, and I want to tell you a little about myself. I'm almost 2 years old, have really striking yellow eyes, love to explore, and I've already been a mom at least once. My kittens were born almost a year ago now, and that's how long I've been at VOCAL. The people here are really nice, and I LOVE my foster mom, but I'd really like to have a home of my own. I'm like most black cats, very beautiful and loving, but sadly overlooked. Did you know that black cats stay in shelters two to three times longer than other cats? Well, my friends and I think that should change! If you would like to find out more about Citrine please submit an application to learn more [CLICK HERE]. If you'd like to request more information, please email VOCAL [CLICK HERE] or call 352-289-0800.
VOCAL is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has broken this mission down into 12 key steps to make Marion County a no-kill county. Some of these steps build upon one another, some can be worked in parallel, but all require contributions from people like you. Please consider a monetary donation, donation of needed items or becoming a volunteer.

Knutson plays with the Susan Comstock Swingtet on Saturday, Feb 13, at French Garden, 8050 Bodega Ave., Sebastopol. 7pm. Free. For more info on his guitars, visit knutsonluthiery.com.
'Let me show you a couple of instruments to pique your interest," says John Knutson, reaching for the cases at his feet, "so you can get a feel for what I do."
Seated in the corner of a noisy Santa Rosa cafe, Knutson pulls out his go-to instrument, a 1940s-style archtop electric/acoustic guitar he calls Nightlife with a smooth black finish. Next, he unveils a Songbird archtop acoustic mandolin that's shaped like a small jazz guitar, complete with cutaways in the body, and strums a few notes.
Knutson not only plays these instruments as a member of the Susan Comtock Swingtet and his own band, Shake the Blues, he built both by hand from his shop in Forestville. The owner and sole employee at Knutson Luthiery since 1981, the 67-year-old has designed and built over 370 such instruments over the course of his career.
"My whole interest in building was music-based," Knutson says. He grew up listening to Elvis on the radio and watching Duke Ellington on TV. His first guitar was a Sears acoustic steel string, and Knutson immediately began tinkering with it.
After a wood technology class at San Francisco State, he says he's been eating, drinking and dreaming guitars ever since.
"I've always designed and built my own instruments from day one," he says. Knutson's designs eventually caught the eye of musicians like bluegrass mandolin legend David Grisman, and ever since, his business has been built solely on word-of-mouth.
Today, Knutson's list of clients includes David Lindley, David Miller, (Asleep at the Wheel), Jimmy Fulbright (Oak Ridge Boys) and Chris Wyse (Mick Jagger, Ozzy Osbourne). His most popular design is the Messenger upright bass, a compact standup that sounds natural either acoustic or electric, and is small enough for traveling musicians to take on a plane. Knutson is seeing a resurgence in the mandolin, spurred by a new brand of Americana.
"To me, this is the most exciting time in music that I've seen since the late '60s," says Knutson. "What's happening now, what I call porch punk—it's very exciting because it's vital. It has a lot of energy and truth and politics. And like the '60s, it's being followed by a wave of progressive political energy in a time when it's greatly needed. In 10 years, nobody will recognize the world we're in. And that inspires me."
Last year, Knutson assembled his bevy of instruments and recruited Grisman and bassist Bill Fouty to record his debut solo album, Shake the Blues, a collection of 13 original songs, written over Knutson's lifetime, that highlight his musicianship and finely crafted instruments.
Though Knutson admits his production pace is slowing, he's got no plans to retire from his craft. "I'll probably die with a chisel in my hand and a smile on my face."

Australia's largest video game and entertainment software retailer has announced what will be the biggest gaming event in Australian history, the EB Games EXPO to be held 15-16 October at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.
EB Games EXPO will showcase the hottest new release and upcoming titles playable for the first time in Australia plus exciting live presentations from international game developers spanning across 10,000 square metres.
After three years of work behind the scenes on the project, Trent Weekes, EB Games national events manager, explained that the EB Games EXPO will unite the Australian gaming community and will give gamers the opportunity to experience the biggest and best of what the industry has to offer on a scale that hasn't previously been accomplished in Australia.
"Our internal October conference is already Australia's largest gaming event which attracts a huge amount of international gaming talent, so it was a natural progression that we open the event to the gaming community," said Weekes.
There will be a variety of different events across EB Games EXPO with the inaugural Australian Final of World Cyber Games, the world's largest international e-sport tournament and festival as well as the EB Arena spectacular featuring Showtime FMX performing heart pounding freestyle motocross.

House Republicans are willing to discuss closing tax loopholes with President Obama in exchange for lowering tax rates, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) told CNBC Wednesday.
"I can simply say tax reform and tax increases can be two different things," Ryan said in a live interview. "We have always said let's go after corporate loopholes in exchange for lowering the tax rates. But that's not a tax increase. What we've said all along is for every dollar the president wants to raise the debt limit, let's cut more than a dollar's worth of spending."
Earlier Wednesday, the White House said it believed there were enough Democrats and Republicans in Congress who would support eliminating some tax breaks in order to pass a broad deal to cut the deficit.
The White House is locked in a dispute with congressional Republicans about how to cut the deficit and reach a deal to raise the U.S. debt limit before the United States runs out of borrowing capacity on Aug. 2.
Obama has called a meeting at the White House on Thursday with top congressional leaders to discuss the issue. Republican House Speaker John Boehner, who met with Obama to discuss the deficit standoff on Sunday, said the upcoaid
House Republican leader Eric Cantor also said Wednesday that party could agree to close some tax breaks in a trillion-dollar budget deal as long as they offset with tax cuts elsewhere.

I did the "stage 1" PST modification with an F5 4" refractor a few years ago. I am not sure what you are trying to achieve here, but you don't need to be tampering with the ethalon to increase the F ratio. I made the mod possible by shortening the tube length. There is a difference between F10 being the optimum, against the misconception that it HAS to be F10. The one i modded gave me some of the best views i have had from a solar scope.

Merchant Ivory Productions Presents
Director: James Ivory
Screenplay: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
Producer: Ismail Merchant
Photography: Subrata Mitra
Music: Shankar Jaikishan
Editor: David Gladwell
Bombay Talkie is Merchant Ivory's affectionate, bemused view of Bollywood – India's huge dream factory. The film is like a brightly coloured sumptuous Indian sweet covered in gold foil, and cameraman Subrata Mitra's ravishing photography has never been surpassed in any other of James Ivory Films. The story, set off by elaborate studio numbers, is a melodrama echoing those of Bombay's Mass-audience movies and the sexy best sellers of the film's heroine, America authoress Lucia lane (Jennifer Kendal). Visiting India in search of "new material", she becomes romantically involved with handsome movie star, Vikram (Shashi Kapoor, Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, Shakespeare Wallah, Heat and Dust). When that doesn't work out, she flees to an ashram to take up the spiritual life. That also – hilariously – doesn't work out, and the ill-fated couple get together again with explosive results.

Jason Kohn
Toronto 2017
Select Festivals:
DOC NYC, IDFA, Hamptons, Camden, Philadelphia
A portrait of an infamous and influential tennis coach who has trained champions, at a personal price.
The film screened as part of DOC NYC, for which our program notes read:
Nick Bollettieri ran America's most famous tennis academy, producing multiple champions including several who would become fierce rivals: Jim Courier, Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, and more. Was Bollettieri a genius or a tyrant, a father figure or a huckster? There are no simple answers. He's been interviewed countless times and is always quick on his feet, ready for anything coming at him. But he meets his match in documentary maker Jason Kohn (Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury prize, MANDA BALA (SEND A BULLET)).

Venom (2018) Movie Review
October 22, 2018
Venom is the newest addition to the few Anti-Hero or Vigilante movies out there and to the Sony and Marvel collaboration. It was released on October 5th of 2018 and was directed by Ruben Fleischer. Though Sony has gotten negative feedback before for their production of Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man and their portrayal of Venom in Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 3, they did a surprisingly fantastic job at producing Tom Hardy's Venom (2018).
From the plot to the CGI and acting, it was done phenomenally and it is indeed in the running for one of the best movies of 2018, and one of the best movies from the Marvel and Sony collaborations. Tom Hardy did an amazing job portraying Eddie Brock, along with Michelle Williams depiction Anne Weying.
Riz Ahmed's role as Carlton Drake, you kind of couldn't help but like, he was another antagonist that did such a good job you ended up liking him in the end. Such as Tom Hiddleston's Loki in Avengers, Josh Brolin's Thanos in Avengers Infinity War, or Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger in Black Panther.
The movie did a great job with illustrating the possessiveness Venom has over Eddie and his life, showing the transformation and toxicity when one of the Symbiotes or "parasites" posses or take control over one's body. Comedy and style wise, it doesn't necessarily fit in with the bright and colorful Marvel films but isn't as dark and somber as other Hero/Action movies out there.
However, some things are pretty faulty that must be pointed out. The movie's exposition is very quick and not very detailed, no one wants a five-hour opening and movies, in general, are supposed to be pretty fast-paced. However, this movie didn't seem it even had an exposition, it sort of jumped into the rising action.
The first rising action was extraordinarily long and felt like it was piling and dragging on, but it did make up for the high sequence climax. It was very well done and did a wonderful job with building up the relationship between Eddie and Venom. Then, the second rising action dragged but nowhere near as long as the first one did, it gave the audience a better understanding and background for Venom and focused on Venom's sudden change of mind and possession over Eddie.
But moving onto the second and supposedly "main" climax was not at all satisfying and was disappointing. There was no exact falling action or resolution, and (Spoiler Alert) Venom had "died" along with Carlton and his symbiote, Riot, during the second climax. But at the end of the movie, Venom was suddenly alive and paired with Eddie again, and that was suddenly the end of the movie.
Considering Tom Hardy is signed for three total Venom movies, it was pretty obvious they were going to leave doors open for the sequel and hopefully for the third movie, but it didn't excuse the fact for the plot holes through the movie. Overall, they could've done a better job with evening out the movie and tying up loose ends, but the plot and acting were outstanding and they did a phenomenal job.

Samuel is called by name. Right now, the turn into summer reminds me so strongly that we are in Pride Month – a month of born out of a protest, when trans women of color and drag queens and butches refused to lay down for the police yet again, but instead boldly took space at the Stonewall Inn, saying, "here we are", in our queerness, in our community. By calling Samuel directly, God affirms the value and importance of our naming's.

A group of beard enthusiasts say that a concerned citizen in Sweden mistook them for militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) when they gathered for an event Saturday.
A member of the Swedish chapter of the "Bearded Villains" club, detailed the incident in a Facebook post. The dapper gang was posing for a group photo at the ruins of Brahehus Castle, holding a flag that resembles the one used by ISIS—two crossed, white swords on a black background.
However, when the police showed up they realized that this was just a group of well-dressed hipsters, not "30 terrorists waving a ISIS flag" as Andreas Fransson describes in the post.
"We had a good laugh with the cops, who had to respond to the call, but quickly saw that we weren't terrorists, out in the middle of nowhere, dressed in formal wear, hugging and laughing," wrote Fransson.
