Hearing loss and cognition: hearing well is thinking well
Hearing loss is linked with a faster rate of cognitive decline in older adults. Whether this is a causal relationship is still under debate, as is whether the use of hearing instruments can delay decline. Find out about the latest research in this area and how it could impact your clinical practice.

Weibo is a website used by about 30% of internet users in China. It is a platform where users can share comments, photos, videos, posts, etc. Weibo has nearly 300 million active users and more than 500 million registered users in a market of close to 1 billion potential users. It would become a hybrid of Facebook and Twitter. Many call it "Chinese Twitter".
Sina.com, the online portal of Weibo
Sina.com is the portal that supports Weibo, the most important social media network in China. It began as a microblogging platform, but has evolved. Today it offers its users an enjoyable experience.
Through Weibo, followers express their opinions and publish news in 140 characters, accompanied by photos and videos. More than a social media network. And although it is often compared to Twitter, it is much more than a social network. Since 2009 it is the alternative for many of the internet users in China.
Tight government control
The Chinese government maintains its control over this social network. In 2012, Sina Weibo services were suspended from March 31 to April 3. The government's justification was to avoid rumours of a coup in China. In that same year users were forced to use their real names.
Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter are blocked in China. On Pinterest, there is strong vigilance, which makes Weibo an alternative that many make use of. The numbers show this. Weibo has 300 million active users per month, more than Twitter had when the blockade was activated.
Weibo, useful and comfortable
With a well-rounded profile, Weibo is introduced. A photography and a chronology of published messages complement the image, where orange is the predominant colour.
Weibo allows its users to connect with each other. Short messages, the @ symbol to tag another use, the use of the pad and the republication of messages are some of the options offered.
It also allows you to add publications to the favourites list, verify accounts and add emoticons. Weibo is more interactive than Twitter and approaches the style of Facebook by allowing the use of animations, music and videos.
Celebrities on Weibo
This social network divides the profiles into opinion leaders, artists or non-governmental organisations. Many celebrities in fashion, sports, cinema and art also have accounts on Weibo with millions of followers.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Bill Gates, Tim Cook and Selena Gómez are just a few sportspeople, businesspeople and renowned artists with Weibo accounts. They saw in this social network an opportunity to maintain contact with their followers in Asia.
More than Twitter
On the Wall Street Stock Exchange, Weibo is worth 200 million dollars more than Twitter. The plans of Sina, the technology company that created this Chinese social network, are focused on expansion. Reaching Southeast Asian and the West is the objective.
The sustained increase in the number of users shows that Weibo will achieve its objectives. Although the English version did not achieve the desired success, efforts still remain. The intention is to achieve the impulse that allows it to catapult itself towards other regions of the world.

Throughout 09 I'm going to be doing an interview series for Domus China magazine. The idea behind the series is to examine architecture as a collaborative art form. To realize a building of even modest ambition requires architects to commit themselves to a huge number of specialists – engineers, a developer, a rendering company, plumbers, a photographer, etc. – each of whom is responsible for a vital piece of their vision. I hope that by talking to the people who operate around architecture's edges, we can get a better understanding of what architects do and what sort of personality (disorders) architecture requires.
The first one came out this month and its with Michael Rock of 2×4, a NY-based design studio that's works with Prada, Nike, as well as many architects OMA especially. It's too long to put up here and I'm probably not supposed to do that anyway, but here is an excerpt. Michael's talking about branding and the way that brand manuals have shifted control of design away from the architect and designer into the hands of the marketing and sales departments. He also mentions his idea for a Leica cell phone, which I think is awesome.
BM: Over the years 2×4 has been involved in a few projects that have gradually expanded to include a variety of disciplines and media. The collaboration between OMA, 2×4, and Prada is maybe the most obvious example. I know that you also recently worked on a wine bar here in New York where you ended up doing almost everything from the development of the name and brand identity, the web and interactive components, packaging, to the architectural and interior design. I'm curious about how this sort of total integration works. As you mentioned before, graphic design is a complimentary component to architecture, but so is plumbing or HV/AC and you rarely see the people responsible for those aspects entering any others.
MR: I think that branding has become so embedded in the way that everyone thinks about their business, their organizations, that all design, including architecture, is pushed into becoming an expression of that. If you're going to build a corporate headquarters now, absolutely you're thinking about how this selection of architects supports the overall brand of the company. So that's part of the programmatic demand of architecture now, and because designers have always been pretty integral in developing what a brand is, it's only a small shift from determining what it is to starting to create the expressions of it.
Nike always talks about their "brand DNA". They say that their brand DNA is so strong and you need to understand the DNA of Nike in order to understand how to make work for them. And once that's established, everything has to be an expression of that DNA. Of course, you can say clearly the work Rem [Koolhaas] is doing for Prada is an expression of Prada's brand. Rem's an integral part of Prada's brand, and we're a part of Prada's brand also. For a fashion company to associate itself with OMA is a branding statement and then the work that he does for them pushes their brand in certain directions, expresses it in certain ways.
Because of that I think the distinction of what's architecture and what's graphic design becomes a little bit blurry, because all of them become equal expressions of this central branding. I think that's actually a major change in the way that the world works. Of course, it's probably happened in natural ways before, but when a museum becomes totally obsessed with what its brand is and what it means to have Renzo Piano design their museum for them, it changes the nature of what they're expecting from their architects and what they're expecting from their designers. It's also implying that, for example, if Nike has this really clearly defined DNA and the architects are working from that and I'm working from that, then naturally our work should somehow go together, because we're all referring to the same object of representation. So I think that the change in our practice comes from the change in that understanding of brand. The more we work with organizations where our interaction with them is considered part of their essential branding, the more the things we work on changes, because we become expressers of their brand in all these different ways.
With Prada it's different, because Prada has a a big brand that we're a small part of. Also part of Prada's brand is the unexpected, so if you do something weird it fits, because they're dealing with unexpected things. But with Nike, for instance, they have very strong expectations about exactly how they represent themselves and what is or isn't an appropriate Nike expression. So, as in this wine bar project, if you're in charge of developing the brand of a company – its name and its feeling and the qualities that its supposed to exude – then you can move into other things for them as well: what the experience is like or what the space is like or what the interactive parts of it are like. Controlling the branding part of it allows you to have a much larger scope of what happens next, either by commissioning people or doing it yourself. So as we've taken on these roles where we've become much more integral to the establishment of the idea that allows us to have more scope in terms of the work we do. Does that make sense?
BM: Yes definitely. It reminds of something I read on your website this morning. It was something you designed for the skin care company Malin + Goetz and it was described as "a package that could function both as a logo and an architectural element."
MR: There was this early modern notion of total design and the expression was always "from the teaspoon to the city". The architect should be able to touch any one of those things and pull it into a design. And of course people like [Adolf] Loos or [Frank Lloyd] Wright were absorbed in the idea that they would design all the furniture and the light fixtures and it would all make up one huge, purely integrated art experience. I think brand, in a way, has become the newest form of total design. But rather than saying that the idea exists in the architect, it says that that idea exists in this kind of brand manual, which expresses who we are and then everybody adopts that as their working method. It's a transformation of the total design mentality, and it's ceded control of that from the architect to the client. The client is now in control of the total design idea and everybody becomes their servant.
Mark Wigley writes about this idea that total design was always implosive and explosive, in the sense that it dealt both with the internal workings of something but also how it broadcast. That I think is the ultimate notion of it, where brand DNA somehow controls how the business is run as a practice, how people relate to one another, all of the products they make, but also all of their publications and how they express themselves to the world. It deals with the broadcasting of the subject and also with the design of it. In that way it unites promotion and product design.
There's something I haven't quite been able to get at though, which is the sense that there is an insidious aspect to that, which is annoying and controlling and inescapable. The whole branding notion bugs me ultimately, but I can't see a way around it either, because it's one of those notions that incorporates any rejection of it. You know, "We're the company that's against branding!" And then that's your brand.
BM: Right, "Our gimmick is there is no gimmick."
MR: It's one of those things that so totalizing there's no outside to it. It's kind of what [Antonio] Negri would say, you have this sense that you want to rebel against something, but the thing is so big that there's no way to be outside and rebel against it, every gesture is absorbed by it.. Branding is one of those forms. It absorbs all its critique. I think that controlling branding gives you a lot of power and a lot of agency, but you never control it totally so you then become a vehicle of it or factor in it somehow. It doesn't reside in you.
BM: Also when the business-side is given priority, scientifically-justified aesthetic preferences start to influence designs. You start hearing things like "Green doesn't sell" or "Books of that size don't sell" and it seems to me the number of options before the designer contracts.
MR: It does and it doesn't. There's a notion of branding that's also expansive in the sense that, once you've established your brand then presumably you can move into anything and take it over. One of the tests for whether something has a strong brand or not is to say, "If Apple started a chain of restaurants what would they be like? Can you imagine them?" And you can kind of imagine what they would be like right away. But if Microsoft opened up a chain of restaurants it's very difficult to imagine what they'd be like. So if the brand is strong enough it allows expansion and redefinition, because it changes the subject rather than the form. It injects its form into it, in the way that Apple went into the phone market and now the iPhone has become a standard that everything else has to react against.
I was actually talking to a guy who used to be the president of Leica, and I was thinking Leica should go into the phone business, because often times your phone is your camera anyway and people expect Leicas to have a certain quality to them. And you can imagine what a Leica phone might be like: super utilitarian, really hardcore, always works perfectly with a really great camera in it. It would be in a way the anti-iPhone, because it wouldn't be about flash at all, it would be about something which is much more utilitarian.
BM: And I think there are a lot of people who would rather have a camera that's also a phone than a phone with a camera added to it.
MR: Exactly, where the goodness of the camera was the thing that is paramount, but you could also call your friend on it. So I think that is what is interesting: the design part is about designing the idea and seeing if it is generative enough an idea that you can build all these things on top of it. And I think it works to a certain extent, because whatever you think about Nike they have a really strong image, which you can imagine is generative enough to where they can keep doing new things. They can go into the business of sports beverages or whatever. They can infuse it with those ideas that they have and they could give it a certain meaning or direction.
Of course, the annoying thing is when it goes to a personal level and you think, "Should I live here? Does this neighorhood fit my brand?" The annoying part is that it means you always have to step outside of the thing and look at it in this weird, objective way. Nothing can be authentic; everything becomes a manufactured expression of this manufactured thing. I think maybe that is the heart of what's annoying about the idea of branding: it always seems inauthentic, it always seems manufactured.
BM: The personalization of branding is scary in a lot of ways. On a macro level, I think you also see that more and more in the way entire nations represent themselves.
MR: Right. China's now looking at itself as a brand and what does it mean? Every country is.
BM: And China's an interesting case, because their brand – Made In China – has great recognition but a terrible reputation. So someone has to figure out how to transform the associations that currently weigh it down.
MR: Yes, but Made In Japan used to be just like that and it changed 180 degrees to where Made In Japan is now seen as a symbol of quality and innovation.
BM: Part of it must be simply development and improvement.
MR: But it's also a choice of which products to emphasize. The fact that Japan went into cars and electronics is different than if you go into milk products and pet food. I guess it's about the professionalization of image control ultimately.
For major companies, it's become so refined as a technique and the devices for how it's produced have become so clearly defined. You always had architects and graphic designers and all these people who dealt with different things, but now you have someone who is on top of them, unifying them all, and trying to get them in line so that all their work is complimentary in a way that conveys their message. I think that before the architects did their thing and the graphic designers did their thing and since they worked together that was great. But, to come back to the question, the expansion of the scope of work is because increasingly clients are looking for all of these things to be unified rather than separate, so if that can be unified through you then that's great. If it can unified by you telling them, 'We should hire this architect also,' that's great too. But they're looking for that unity of message.

A few weeks ago, a friend of ours recommended a Netflix original series by the name of Making a Murderer. At the beginning we did not feel compelled to check it out, however and within the following couple of days our news stream began becoming loaded with the subject of Steven Avery, the protagonist of the series Making a Murderer.
After weeks of looking at headlines, I decided to take a shot, and watch the first episode, and the story was so captivating I felt compelled to finish the entire first season. So this series depicts a true story, happening throughout the course of ten years. This story is that of Steven Avery a man convicted and charged with rape, and incarcerated for eighteen years, later on Steven Avery is exonerated on the basis of new evidence. A few years later, and when Steven Avery was suing for compensation, he was again convicted and charged with the murder of a reporter, along with his then sixteen year old nephew. Both Steven Avery, and Brendan Dassey are still incarcerated, on charges that most individuals believe were set up, and fabricated. The convictions have major holes in them, and the evidence was said to be tampered with by the corrupt police force back then.
After the release of this series, a petition was signed by 128,000 individuals, and this petition was presented to President Obama and the white house, in purpose of pardoning Steven Avery. The White House responded that it had no authority to act in a state case.
The series points out some major flaws in the way individuals deal with such matters, specifically when we have a pre-conceived misconception of a person, and how this results in some sad and unfortunate events.
The first episode of Making a Murderer was posted on Youtube, and the entire series is available to stream on Netflix. This is as unprecedented move which Netflix has never before done to any on their previously released original series.
You can find the first episode on Youtube, or binge watch the first season on Netflix.

With the New Year well underway, we're starting to see some major trends make their way into our homes. Some are still going strong from last year, while others are completely new to the scene. Looking for inspiration? We've whittled down the biggest home trends that are set to steal the show in 2019.

1. Natural fibers
Wicker, rattan, and jute — oh my! Last year, it was almost impossible to flick through an interiors magazine, or scroll through Pinterest and Instagram without seeing these types of natural fibers in the limelight. And here's why: as our lives become more reliant on technology, the desire to surround ourselves with natural materials in an attempt to balance things out, has become increasingly important.
Luckily, since this organic trend is here to stay, introduce some natural furnishings and homewares in your own home – from eco-friendly stores such as Papaya, Planet Furniture, and You, The Earth and Me.

2. Cool ceramics
Continuing the holistic homewares theme, artisan-made ceramics are also having a bit of a resurgence as of late, with pretty creations including everything from dinnerware to flower vases, all hand-crafted by an array of wonderful, local Australian creatives. Pottery became a big thing in 70s, and despite disappearing for a few decades, today, the likes of Tara Burke Ceramics and Married To The Sea are proving that ceramics are no doubt, cool once again.

3. Living Coral
Every year, Pantone announces its highly-anticipated Colour of the Year, and for 2019, the shade of the moment is Living Coral. Pops of not-pink, not-orange will be making its mark on the interior scene, with many designers decorating in line with this harmonious hue. Bold, beautiful and most of all fun, this spritely shade can be worked into your design scheme as big or as subtle as you'd like. Read more about how to master the art of accessorising with this year's on-trend hue here.

4. Statement art
Wave goodbye to overdone gallery walls – rumour has it that oversized statement art will adorn our walls in 2019, instead. This trend will see large-scale works of art used to add both impact and interest to an otherwise blank canvas wall space. Admittedly, adopting this trend will likely come with a hefty price tag, but consider it an investment. We recommend scrolling through the incredible art collection young artist Bonnie Gray has on offer.

5. Linen bedding
Linen bedding has been cropping up everywhere, from boutique brands to chain stores – and it's not hard to see why. This sleek style of bedlinen is a great way to add texture and comfort to any bedroom, plus, being a highly breathable material, it keeps you sleeping cool in summer and warm in winter. Brands such as Bed Threads, Sage & Clare and I Love Linen are getting mighty creative with their colour offerings, so you have the freedom to have a little fun with your bedroom space.

6. Velvet furnishings
Once considered a tad dated and old-fashioned, now a dreamy décor essential, swathes of velvet have made a big comeback, and we can't get enough. Luxurious and elegant, velvet instantly adds a sense of grandeur and glamour to any room. With its tactile qualities and luscious good looks, we predict velvet furnishings to be one of 2019's most sought-after trends.
Sitchu tip: introduce this look in the living room with either a velvet sofa or an armchair – try West Elm or Lounge Lovers to find the perfect style.

7. Concrete bathrooms
Functional, fun and fabulously stylish, concrete is fast-becoming the bathroom material of choice. Not only is it strong and versatile, it looks oh-so-good too, particularly if you're a fan of the urban industrial look. From floors and ceilings to surfaces and showers, this stone-coloured finish – be it rough, smooth, polished or preened – is guaranteed to add drama to any bathroom space.

8. Tidy trend
If the Netflix show, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo has taught us anything, it's that most people lead busy lives. As a result, their homes can often become cluttered along the way. The KonMarie method has quickly gained cult status, proving that people are craving more organisation and structure in the home. So, this year, we can expect to see more and more clever storage solutions being used at home, along with the desire to lead a more minimalist life.

9. Bar carts
Bar carts made it big again in 2018, and thankfully it's looking like we won't be wheeling this trend out any time soon. For those who like to entertain and mix up the odd cocktail or two, a bar cart is somewhat a necessity to the home. They've come a long way over the years, almost doubling as works of art in their own right. Take a look at our gorgeous round-up of on-trend bar carts for your next boozy gathering.

10. Indoor plants
The past few years have seen an increasing rise in the popularity of indoor plants. Surrounding yourself with fresh foliage not only helps to promote productivity and creativity, but it's also good for your mental health – partly due to the rewarding feeling you get when you're able to nurture happy and healthy plants. And of course, it goes without saying that they also make our homes look all the more beautiful – this natural trend will only continue to flourish in the New Year, and beyond.
Commune Bondi
11. Sustainable living
There's been a sizeable shift in attitudes towards sustainable living. Veganism, vegetarianism, zero-waste, fair trade, organic – there are plenty of eco-friendly options when it comes to ethical eating, but it's starting to filter down into the home sphere too. People want to know the story behind what they're purchasing, and what they stand for.
So, for 2019, eco-friendly homewares are where it's at. Sustainable fabrics, recycled materials and animal-free alternatives are set to soar into the spotlight, as are locally made products from small suppliers and designers, all of which are made using timeless materials and that are friendly on the environment. Looking for inspo? Scroll through Commune Bondi's dreamy collection of ethically-sourced wonders.

12. Primary hues
From soft pastels to exotic jewels, the last few years have welcomed the full colour spectrum into our homes. 2019 however hints at paring things back, with bright, bold primary shades taking centre stage on the interior scene. Look forward to deep, rusty-coloured reds, bright indigo blues and retro mustard yellows, as the colour charts take a step back with a more simple, minimalist approach.
Claire Tregoning, Sitchu home tour
13. Personal touch
All trends aside, your home is your canvas, so you can choose to tell whatever story suits your own individual style. Whether it's a personal collection of items, framed photographs of loved ones, or colours and textures that evoke fond memories, trust yourself and enjoy the space you create.

I had registered for a simple jj cole messenger bag because my husband liked it, but honestly I find most diaper bags ugly/unappealing. So now that I'M the one paying for it, I don't want to spend the $70 on the jj cole bag that I don't even care for.
The other I had registered for was a more fun bag for me from Ika Bags on Etsy. At $59 I loved the price, the style, cuteness, functionality and quality.
BUT then I realized that shipping to the US is $27 freakin dollars! what the heck?! So I vetoed that option.
Now I'm on the hunt…
I think I would like on that has a mesh pocket on the outside for my water bottle, but other than that I don't have specific features I want, except that it's big enough to double as a diaper bag and a purse.
SO what was your favorite bag and why? Post pictures/prices please!!!

Hyderabad: An in-form Odisha FC will be looking to heap more misery on struggling Hyderabad FC when the two sides meet in a Hero Indian Super League clash here on Wednesday.
Odisha come to Hyderabad on the back of three consecutive wins that propelled them to fourth on the table. Josep Gombau's side will know that another victory against bottom-placed Hyderabad FC will see them pull five points clear of the chasing pack. "The most important thing for us is to go game-by-game. We will try to do our best in every single game. I don't want to put my players under pressure.
We have a big squad. We're close to the top four but there are six games to go. We are treating every single game as a final," Gombau said.
They will have to be wary of Hyderabad who have just seen their manager Phil Brown part ways with the club after managing to win just five points from 12 games. (PTI)

Social messaging platform, Facebook, has launched in Nigeria its first African Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Council in line with its commitment to support the sector which has undoubtedly become the vehicle for economic development. Facebook will be providing the startups and business owners on the council with digital tools that will help position their businesses for growth and development.
The SMB Sales Manager, Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) for Facebook, Abi Williams while speaking at the launch in Lagos noted that, Nigeria has a vibrant SME sector which was why she was chosen for the launch of the first SME Council on the African continent.
"Small businesses form the backbone of most of the thriving economies in the world, driving sustainable growth and creating jobs, and those in Nigeria are no different. Facebook is strategically positioned to help SME's grow their businesses, and with a vibrant SME sector, Nigeria was a natural choice in launching our very first SME Council on the African continent. With 35 million people in other countries connected to a Nigerian business on Facebook, the global market has never been closer for Nigerian SMEs," he said.
According to Williams, the Council which is made up of a combination 15 vibrant start-ups and established SMEs from a range of industries and locations across Nigeria, including Lagos, Abuja and Enugu and Kano will help to foster a strategic partnership between Facebook Africa's SME team and Nigerian business owners, in order to provide better digital tools for business and customer growth.
Each business in the Council is to possess wealth of unique experiences in understanding and embracing mobile strategies.
"The council will bring in experience on how to reach Nigerian customers, making them ideally positioned to offer support to other companies who need it," Williams noted.
She said the Council members will meet a minimum of twice a year with Facebook and Instagram teams to discuss successes and challenges, business ideas and solutions.
Williams informed that the Nigerian SME Council has now joined 10 other SME Councils across the globe, including North America, Ireland, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Poland, India and Brazil.
The Nigerian SME Council members are Paylater, DigitxPlus, Wakanow, Afro Foods & Spice Nigeria, The Legit Way Out, EasyshopEasycook, Hush'D, One Stop Baby Shop Nigeria, Mamalette, Bombay to Beirut, GIGM.com, Naphtali Party Rentals, Ìkòkò, and STM Magical Creations Ltd.

I know a lot of people avoid topics of religion and politics on their blogs. I use to. I don't anymore. When Donald Trump became "president", it stopped being about politics and became about attitude, behavior and beliefs.
I started doing research on Donald Trump in 2010, long before he decided to run for president the first time, in 2012. I didn't much care for what I saw, but I was intrigued. At that time he seemed almost rational, but in a very sleazy way.
The more I learned about him, the less I liked. But I never thought he ever had a chance of winning the election. In retrospect, I don't think he did win. He rigged instead. And based on the research I've done on his life, this is nothing new for him. He hates to fail and will stack the deck anyway he can to always win.. his idea of winning, even if it's not legal or ethical.
His misogynist, sexist attitude and racist behavior just made things worth and his ageism and ableism nailed it for me. He was a slimeball who just getting worse on his version of success. He didn't care who it hurt, as long as he had money and power.
So I celebrate the fact that Donald Trump was officially impeached today. But I'm also a realist and know that not much will come from this. This impeachment is a black mark on his presidency and I doubt he cares. But history will remember him much different than he thinks and hopes.
This is how I will remember him.

Swedish Upper Secondary Students' Understanding of Linear Equations: An Enigma?
Andrews, Paul; Öhman, Sofia
Acta Didactica Napocensia, v12 n1 p117-129 2019
Prompted by the evidence of international tests of achievement that Swedish students have poor equation solving skills, this paper presents an interview study of upper secondary students' understanding of the topic. Students, from both vocational and academic tracks in two typical suburban upper secondary schools were invited to explain how a solution to the algebraic equation x + 5 = 4x -- 1, presented with no explanation, had been conceptualised by the hidden solver. Analyses showed that students were not only familiar with linear equations but consistently invoked a 'do the same to both sides' procedure, indicating a secure understanding of the principles underpinning the solution of algebraic equations. Such understandings, which seem to defy international tests' outcomes are conceptually beyond a reliance on the inverse operations necessary for arithmetical equations. Explanations for this apparent inconsistency, which go beyond mere maturation, are proposed.

Shield Disinfectant Sanitizer
Shield has demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to SARS-CoV-2 on hard porous and/or non-porous surfaces and has been listed on the EPA's List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the novel COVID-19 disease also known as the coronavirus.
Shield Disinfectant Sanitizer is a powerful antimicrobial fluid for use across a broad spectrum of applications. The Shield product line offers disinfection, sanitizing and deodorizing solutions for many industries and has shown to be effective over many years of use. It is effective over a broad range of viruses and bacteria such as the coronavirus, MRSA, HIV, Listeria, Influenza A, Hepatitis C and Salmonella, among many others.
Shield Disinfectant Sanitizer is an activated aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid produced by passing weak salt brine through an electrolytic cell using Electro-Chemical Activation (ECA) technology to temporarily change the properties of dilute salt water into a powerful oxidizing agent exhibiting antimicrobial properties.
Shield Disinfectant Sanitizer is produced at a near neutral 6.5 pH where the predominant antimicrobial agent is hypochlorous acid, an efficient and efficacious specie of chlorine. Hypochlorous acid kills bacteria. When produced, Shield Disinfectant Sanitizer contains a minimum of 500 ppm free available chlorine (FAC).
Shield must be used for disinfection applications within 30 days after being produced OR product must be diluted and, as an option, may be tested with chlorine test kit or chlorine test strips to adjust to desired chlorine level for sanitizing, deodorizing and cleaning applications. Check bottle for production date stamp.

Teaching ideas based on New York Times content.
Overview of Lesson Plan: In this lesson, students analyze trends in the Grammy Award winners this year and create graphs displaying their findings.
Rachel McClain, The New York Times Learning Network
Suggested Time Allowance: 45 minutes
Students will:
1. Write about qualities that make music good and musical artists talented.
2. Learn about this year's Grammy Awards by reading and discussing the article "Eminem and U2 Among Multiple Grammy Winners."
3. Generate graphs based on this year's Grammy Award winners.
4. Conduct surveys on their peers Grammy Award picks, and create graphs comparing these results to the actual 2001 winners.
Resources / Materials:
-student journals
-classroom blackboard
-article "Eminem and U2 Among Multiple Grammy Winners" (one per student)
-poster board
Activities / Procedures:
1. WARM-UP/DO NOW: In their journal, students respond to the following questions (written on board prior to class): What qualities make music "good"? What qualities make a musician talented? After students write, discuss student responses, generating a list on the board of qualities cited by students.
2. As a class, read the article "Eminem and U2 Among Multiple Grammy Winners" focusing on the following questions:
a. Who hosted this year's Grammy Awards?
b. Where were the Grammy Awards held?
c. What surprise nominations/awards were there in this year's Grammy Awards?
d. Who was nominated for best new artist? Who won?
e. In what year did the Grammy Awards start?
f. Who is responsible for nominating artists and awarding the awards?
3. Hand out copies of the list of this year's Grammy winners from the New York Times [or on grammy.com at url (//grammy.com)]. Divide class into groups of three or four. Announce a time limit of fifteen minutes for the following activity. Using the list of this year's Grammy winners, groups generate as many graphs as they can comparing the winners in each category based on different criteria (teacher might suggest some criteria, such as age, gender, race, country of origin, etc. to give students an idea of what to look for, or may leave it to the students to choose their own criteria). At the end of the fifteen minutes, groups display their graphs around the room. Conduct a class discussion on the different types of graphs generated, and what information they provide about the winners of the Grammy Awards and the music industry in general.
4. WRAP-UP/HOMEWORK: Conduct school-wide surveys of people's Grammy Awards picks for 2001. Make graphs for each category, comparing your peers' choices with the actual winners. Display your graph in the classroom along with the group graphs.
Further Questions for Discussion:
–Do you think that the Grammy Awards are a measure of talent, popularity, or both? Why?
–Do you think that most artists consider a Grammy Award to be a sign that they have "made it"? Do you think there are artists who do not place importance on the Grammy Awards? What might be the reason for these different points-of-view?
–Which do you think is more popular, the Grammy Awards or the Academy Awards? Why?
–What do you think is the reason behind the huge sales of albums by current popular artists?
–How do you feel about artists and groups who perform music that they may not have written? Can the music/lyrics still be meaningful?
Evaluation / Assessment:
Students will be evaluated on journal entries, participation in class discussion, creation of graphs based on this year's Grammy Award winners, and completion of surveys and graphs on student preferences compared to this year's actual winners.
characteristic, humility, diva, propulsive, ironic, tribute, mentor, controversy, homophobic, misogynistic, omnipresent, falsetto, alternative, experimental, accolades, seminal, contemporary, posthumous
Extension Activities:
1. Learn about new technology in the music industry. Create a poster displaying some of the current technological advances, describing what each one does and citing famous songs, albums, or videos in which this technology was utilized.
2. How are the Grammy's being publicized and represented on the Internet? Browse official and unofficial Grammy web sites. Write a critique of the best and worst sites you found. Then, using these as a model, create a home page for your own Grammy site.
3. Conduct research on Grammy award winners in any five categories in five consecutive years. Create a graph comparing the winners in each year based on one of the criteria you used in class. Then write an analysis of the trends or changes you notice within these five years, and suggest social and cultural trends that might be responsible for these trends and changes in the music industry.
4. Research the phenomenon of increased and accelerated music album sales in the past few years. Then write an opinion paper analyzing the role that the Internet has played in this boom. Have web sites with free, downloadable music slowed down the sales?
5. Internationally televised awards shows are often opportunities for artists to address a captive audience about issues that concern them. Learn about causes in which one of your favorite artists is involved. Then write an acceptance speech in which this artist someone manages to refer to this cause and urges others to support it. Dress up like the artist and perform your speech for the class.
Interdisciplinary Connections:
American History- Research the history of the Grammy Awards and create a collage representing the artists and styles that marked different years in the award's history.
Economics- Learn about the distribution of money that results from every CD sale. Create a pie chart showing how much it costs to make a single CD, and the amount of money that goes to each person involved with the making, marketing, and selling of it.
Language Arts- Create a star. You are a music producer and have decided to create the perfect artist/group. Create their first album cover. Think about the kind of image you want to portray, and design a visual as well as a title to appear on the cover of the album. Then on the inside cover, write a biography of your star(s). How old are they? Where are they from? What are their hobbies? Include all the information that you think will help support the image you are creating for them.
Media Studies- Watch the Grammy Awards and keep a log of the commercials that run during the show. After collecting your data, write an analysis of the types of commercials you saw, addressing the following questions: What trends did you notice in the types of commercials you saw? Why do you think these types of commercials were aired during the Grammy Awards? What does this say about the audience that watches the Grammy Awards?
Other Information on the Web:
The Grammy Awards site (//grammy.com/) offers information on the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards, the history of the award, audio and video of performances, and more.

Passive voice aside, user Tina.g.sherwin changed the picture -- a third time ([1] [2] [3]) -- sans discussion.
When ToyStoryFan123 agreed with me, we had consensus, and I restored the more interesting and colorful screenshot. I had copyright concerns about the grabpic (DeviantArt , not wikisimpsons).
After I hadn't edited for five days, Ms. Sherwin put the inferior image back -- despite the consensus.

NEW ORLEANS – Today, Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced the launch of Season 14 of Midnight Basketball as well as the significant contributions the National Basketball Players Association Foundation (NBPA Foundation) made to Midnight Basketball and other initiatives within the NOLA FOR LIFE strategy.
Season 14 of Midnight Basketball, a program that focuses on providing safe recreational activity, jobs and opportunities in crime hot spots for males over 16 years old through basketball, mentorship and support, will tip off at the new NORD Milne NOLA FOR LIFE Center (5420 Franklin Ave). The free eight-week season will begin on Saturday, March 11, 2017 with registration at 7 p.m. and the tournament tipping off at 8 p.m. Regular tournament play will continue Saturday nights, from March 11 to April 29, from 8 p.m. to midnight.
"NOLA FOR LIFE Midnight Basketball has proven to be a great success for the young men of New Orleans," said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. "Along with providing recreational opportunities in a fun, safe environment, we are connecting young men in our community to job opportunities, educational resources and other services to help them create their own pathways to prosperity."
Midnight Basketball is a part of Mayor Landrieu's comprehensive Murder Reduction Strategy, NOLA FOR LIFE and reaches young men who may be at risk of being impacted by violent crime in the city. Since its launch in January 2012, the program has given over 13,000 participants access to jobs, job training, education and other resources.
Sponsored by the New Orleans Pelicans and Domino's Pizza, the launch event will include remarks from STRIVE NOLA Senior Core Trainer Patrick Young. As a part of Mayor Landrieu's Network for Economic Opportunity Strategy, STRIVE NOLA connects disadvantaged jobseekers to employment opportunities through anchor institutions by providing workforce case management, foundational skills training and supportive services.
Deputy Mayor Judy Reese Morse said, "Midnight Basketball is a key prevention initiative that allows us to create the best opportunities and a solid future for the city's young men. We look forward to continuing to make progress in their lives and appreciate the support of our partners in these efforts."
The Network for Economic Opportunity will offer access to resources beginning at launch and continue throughout Season 14 at www.nolaforlife.org/
Additionally, there will be a raffle for a Nike basketball, gift card, NBA socks, and MidnightBasketball shirt. T-shirt giveaways will take place throughout the season. Again this year, Midnight Basketball is partnering with PlayNOLA and New Orleans' radio personality DJ Wild Wayne.
Lavonzell Nicholson of PlayNola said, "After moving around various neighborhoods in the City, it's very exciting to host midnight basketball in the Gentilly community. NORD Milne NOLA FOR LIFE Center is a great facility, and we look forward to a large turnout for Season 14."
DJ Wild Wayne said, "Midnight Basketball is back for season 14 and I'm excited for another great opportunity for young men across the city to participate in the tournament! I've seen a number of these guys grow over the last few years. I think the message from the guest speakers and the job resources are a fabulous bonus in addition to the basketball games! I can't wait to see some of the new young guys experience it. Let the games begin!"
During the NBA All-Star Weekend, the NBPA Foundation made a scholarship commitment to Midnight Basketball of $50,000 per year for the next three years, and partnered their #EverydayDad campaign with the launch of NOLA FOR LIFE's Crescent City Dads Program.
"The City of New Orleans is grateful for the continued partnership of the NBPA Foundation," said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. "Because of their generous donation to Midnight Basketball, some of our young men will have access to better educational opportunities. Additionally, we appreciate their participation in the Crescent City Dads program launch with their #EverydayDad campaign. Because of the NBPA Foundation's strong support, the NOLA FOR LIFE Strategy will be able to have greater impact on the people of New Orleans."
NBPA Foundation Executive Director Sherrie Deans said, "Our players know the value of building capacity in our youth as well as the corresponding role strong fathers play. The NBPA Foundation is proud to support the NOLA FOR LIFE effort on both fronts and glad to be part of providing African-American men with greater access to opportunities that drive individual and community success."
The NBPA Foundation's commitment will provide select Midnight Basketball participants with the opportunity to attend industry-credentialed job training programs in New Orleans. The first round of scholarships will be awarded later this year.
During All-Star Weekend, the NBPA Foundation also brought its #EverydayDad campaign to New Orleans to co-host the launch of NOLA FOR LIFE's Crescent City Dads, a program that strengthens father-child relationships and educates fathers on parenting techniques. The #EverydayDad team conducted a photo shoot and recorded interviews of local fathers discussing the importance of effective fatherhood.
"We appreciate the NBPA Foundation partnering their #EverydayDad campaign with the launch of the City's Crescent City Dads program, " said Deputy Mayor Judy Reese Morse. "Educating fathers in New Orleans and abroad is critical and we appreciate the NBPA for helping us to magnify the importance of that work."
Held at the Rosenwald Recreation Center, the event brought NBA players' fathers Charles Paul, Sr. (Father of LA Clipper Chris Paul), Roy Hibbert, Sr. (Father of Milwaukee Buck Roy Hibbert) and Charles Watson, Sr. (Father of Orlando Magic Player C.J. Watson) to join the discussion.
The Crescent City Dads initiative is a collaboration between NOLA FOR LIFE and Healthy Start New Orleans. Programming includes two 12-week sessions from the 24/7 Dads curriculum, which includes group discussions around effective communication, manhood and relationships. Monthly sessions will also be held using the Parents as Teachers (PAT) curriculum that focus on other topics relevant to fathers. Additionally, there will be family days planned for the fathers to engage with their children in a fun group setting as well asdate nights allowing couples to enjoy a night out while their children are cared for in a safe environment.
The NBPA Foundation launched #EverydayDad in 2015 to celebrate fathers and fatherhood and to provide inspiration for fans to celebrate their own relationships with their dads and their kids. Through events across the country, the initiative compiles stories in photos and video that capture the essence of fatherhood. These stories can be found on the website www.everydaydad.nbpa.com, where the public is also invited to share their own stories.
