The Manga Guide to Electricity—New from No Starch Press
Learn About Electricity in a Shockingly Fun Way
San Francisco, CA, March 19, 2009—Rereko is just your average high-school girl from Electopia, the land of electricity. Except she's completely failed her electricity exam! Now she has to go to summer school on Earth—and this time, she has to pass. Luckily, her ever-patient tutor Hikaru is there to help. So begins the The Manga Guide to Electricity (March 2009, 224 pp, ISBN 9781593271978), the charming third volume in a series of technical EduManga titles from San Francisco-based geek book publisher No Starch Press.
The Manga Guide to Electricity combines an entertaining plot with authentic manga comics and lessons that offer readers a unique introduction to the world of electricity. Readers learn alongside Rereko as her tutor explains the basics of electricity by examining everyday devices like flashlights, heaters, and circuit breakers.
"I'm really excited about this latest Manga Guide," said No Starch Press Founder Bill Pollock. "I can't even count the number of people who have no clue about how electricity works or what diodes, resistors, and capacitors do. This is a great and painless way to sort through the mumbo jumbo."
The real-world examples in The Manga Guide to Electricity teach readers:
As they progress through the book, readers will explore more abstract concepts of electricity like electrostatic force, Ampere's law, and the Seebeck effect. Co-published with scientific and technical publisher Ohmsha, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan, The Manga Guide to Electricity will make learning about electricity a shockingly good time for readers of all ages.

Paraguay's GDP expanded 13.3% in the second quarter of this year boosted by agriculture and beef exports, according to the latest release from the Central bank. Agriculture has proved the most dynamic sector with 6.2% growth helping Paraguay to have the fastest growing economy this year in Latam following on a 0.9% retraction last year, because of an extended drought.
Helped by strong commodity prices the Paraguayan economy has been moving ahead strongly with an average 4.5% from 2004 to 2008, followed by a 4% retraction in 2009 but immediately 13.1% ion 2010 and 4.3% in 2011.
The Paraguayan central bank had already forecasted last April "strong growth" in the range of 13% of GDP in 2013 because of the quick recovery of agriculture after suffering two years 2011 and 2012 of severe adverse climatic conditions. To this had to be added an anticipated increase in construction both from the private and public sectors.
Last April the UN Economic Commission for Latam, ECLAC lowered annual expansion to 10%, although underlining that Paraguay would be the country with the best economic performance this year.
The central bank said that agriculture in the second quarter expanded 45.9%, with good climate conditions anticipating an excellent soy crop, which is Paraguay's main export item. Paraguay is among the world's top exporters of the oil seed.
But services also expanded 11% compared to a year ago contributing 5 percentage points to GDP growth, and thus the second strongest sector in performance, said the central bank adding that domestic and foreign demand also played a part. Demand for grains and oilseeds and a resumption of beef sales to Chile, which had been suspended since an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in 2011.
Thus livestock, froestry, fisheries, mining and manufacturing also out performed their previous percentages and all expanded above8.2% compared to the second quarter of last year.

Winston Cuevas
Winston Cuevas (b. 1993, Chicago) is an American multidisciplinary designer creating work at the nexus of radicalism and refinement. Concerned with advancing design at the intersection of high concept and high craft, he also explores its rhetorical, poetic, and emotional potential and seeks to blur the delineation of the fine art and collectible design worlds.
Cuevas' debut collections are titled Natural Allusions, The Fountain of Youth, and Memento Mori. These collections function as dramatic stages for his liminal art and design objects which perform like actors in a conceptual play. Drawing inspiration from the Italian Radical period of the 1960s, Cuevas' work seeks to further the tradition and legacy of radical design. His design objects serve as platforms for artistic expression, encapsulations of his own philosophical and poetical viewpoints on subjects like nature, youth and death.
Established in 2020, his eponymous studio focuses on private client commissioned furniture, objects and lighting as well as interior projects internationally.

"Should I get a master's degree?" It's a question that lingers in the minds of many, from college seniors nearing graduation to established professionals looking to change or advance their careers.
"As with most life choices, there is no simple answer to that question," said Daniel J. Hurley, director of state relations and policy analysis for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. When considering going to grad school, there are different factors to consider — the cost of earning a graduate degree versus the potential for higher career earnings, the commitment of time compared to the number of years an individual will be involved in a specific career, professional licensing and certification requirements, and others.
Hurley advises taking the long-term analysis approach by comparing occupational demand to economic forecasts. "Pursuing advanced degrees involves a significant investment of time. Whether or not having a graduate degree may make an individual appear to be overqualified when seeking a position depends on the state of the economy, occupational trends, and the labor market," he added.
In certain fields, prospective employers may value work experience more than advanced degrees. Hurley said that the overall employment picture needs to be considered. However, in fields like medicine, social work, and increasingly in elementary and secondary education, master's degrees are required to qualify for certain positions or can be required as part of state continuing education regulations.
As far as financial considerations are concerned, research indicates that on average, an individual with a master's degree will earn more than an individual with only an undergraduate degree. Citing a study conducted last year, Robert Bernstein of the U.S. Census Bureau said, "We estimate that earning a master's would result in work-life earnings of $2.8 million — which is $412,000 more than one would earn if they held only a bachelor's."
The Census Bureau study predicts that the number of careers that will require graduate degrees will grow by 20 percent by 2016. It notes that average yearly wages increase by up to $10,000 for those with a graduate degree, compared to those with an undergraduate degree.
A Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce study comparing 15 industries concluded that the median earnings of a graduate degree, on average, is 38.3 percent more than the earnings of a bachelor's in the same career focus.
Of course, the return on investment varies depending on the degree. For example, Hurley said, "a Master's of Social Work typically costs less to earn than a Master's of Business Administration, but an M.B.A. generally carries a higher financial return on the investment than an M.S.W."
There are certainly other good reasons, beyond finances, to earn an advanced degree. "A lot of individuals pursue master's degrees as a matter of intellectual growth," Hurley said. "It can provide a sense of well-being, personal accomplishment and contributes to the community well-being."
If you're curious if getting a master's could give you a salary boost, or at least better prospects in the job market, Hurley suggests visiting the Bureau of Labor Statistics' projections on earnings and unemployment rates by educational attainment, Trends in Higher Education by CollegeBoard, and Payscale.com.

Oil cake
Sweets with a signature name: Algarrobo and Ramos
The unmistakable flavour of oil cakes from Málaga has been enjoyed for generations in breakfasts and as a snack. A sweet and oily flavour. A crunchy bite. There is a different recipe in every area of the province, but the name of the sweet is different. Olive oil is the ingredient that names it and gives it its unmistakable flavour.
The recipe has Arab origin, although the bakery industry in Málaga has evolved and improved until it has make the recipe its own. The rest of the ingredients used are wheat, salt, sugar, aniseed and sesame. When we speak about oil cakes from Málaga, we cannot forget two proper names: Algarrobo oil cakes and Ramos oil cakes.
Algarrobo oil cakes
Algarrobo is a village with a rich and complete gastronomy that is located in Axarquía (Málaga). They are famous for their oil cakes, known as Algarrobo cakes. This sweet is smaller than traditional oil cakes and they are usually a little bit bigger than a biscuit. The flavour of Algarrobo cakes is sugary and they are compact. They sometimes have almonds on top of them and it is characterised by its dark colour, like the oil had darkened the cake too much.
Ramos cakes
The other proper name in the wide oil cake recipes in Málaga are Ramos oil cakes. Their flavour is common to every resident in Málaga as snacks and with coffee and milk.
Ramos cakes, made by the 'tortas Ramos' company, started to be made in Algarrobo, although right now the company is located closer to the capital and they produce 30.000 cakes every day, ready to be consumed. Ramos cakes look and taste similar to Algarrobo cakes. But Ramos oil cakes and Algarrobo oil cakes aare not the only ones. Each village has its own recipe, which creates a wide variety of flavours for the same product. Another known oil cake comes from Vélez-Málaga and it is slightly bigger, it is consumed in smaller portions and it is covered with almonds.
The south of Spain has traditionally been the main producer of oil cakes and Málaga is one of the areas with bigger productions. However, this product is consumed throughout the whole country and its production has become international during the last years. Thanks to the exportation of oil cakes to foreign countries, new ways of consuming them have become popular, such as oil cakes with cheese, with pâté or with smoked products.
Oil cakes from Málaga like the Algarrobo and Ramos varieties have a high energy intake when they are consumed, so that is why they are eaten as a snack, in breakfast, in the afternoon with some tea, coffee, milk, juices and smoothhies. They are natural products made with vegetable ingredients and no chemicals. Both Algarrobo and Ramos oil cakes can stay fresh for a long period of time.
The true secret to elaborate this sweet lies in using natural quality products. Most producers use olive oil from Andalucía of the Hojiblanca variety, the most common in the province of Málaga. The olive trees of this variety produce golden and soft flavour oil (hence the dark tones oil cakes have) and its flavour is sweet and sugary.

Many modern companies are now operating markets of their own, but they're not "free" as claimed. Rather there is only one possible purchaser of your labour, leading to a tournament of who is able to accept the lowest pay and conditions. This isn't even capitalism, but we're letting them get away with it.

Speaking to media after qualifying at Monza, Pierre Gasly spoke about the accident that befell Australian Formula 3 racer Alex Peroni on Saturday morning.
The Campos Racing driver ran over the sausage kerb at Parabolica towards the end of the F3 race and was launched into the air before landing almost 100 metres away on the tyre barriers. The initial impact showed that it was the halo that landed squarely on the tyre barriers, saving Peroni's head from absorbing that impact. He was relatively unharmed and walked by himself to the medical car and has since been diagnosed with concussion and a fractured vertebra. He will miss the rest of this weekend's F3 action. The sausage kerb was removed immediately, resulting in a slight delay to the start of the F1 FP3 session.
"I saw the big crash." said Gasly. "It was really really shocking. I didn't see the beginning of the action, I just saw it once he was in the air. Then the guys explained it to me how it happened. It was horrible to see and I am glad Peroni seems to be fine after that. It is clearly something they need to change because they can't have these kind of accidents."
Admitting that he has reconsidered his position on the halo, the Toro Rosso driver said: "I must say I have never been a fan of the halo. Looking at these images, it's clearly a good reason to have it. We will never know what would have happened without it but we don't want to imagine."
We are all extremely relieved that Alex Peroni walked away from this crash during Race 1 in Monza.
He is currently under medical observation.#ItalianGP 🇮🇹 #F3 pic.twitter.com/UdlcFSIqBH
— Formula 3 (@FIAFormula3) September 7, 2019
"You will not expect this to happen even in F1 cars." Gasly continued. "I still didn't see the full crash and I would like to see exactly to understand. For me, it's quite insane to take off that high with just the kerb. They need to make sure that won't happen again."
"I think there are couple of these kerbs on other track as well but, for some reason, we've never had these kind of accidents before. It was really strange and really scary at the same time."

GIMP Tutorial: How To Create a Retro Text Effect
This fun-filled GIMP tutorial has a boat-load of tips and tricks for creating this retro text effect design. In fact, I'm going to show you how to create and use your own custom patterns!
Plus, you'll also learn how to create crisp strokes around your text, blend images into your design, create 3D long shadows, create inner shadows, and much more!
If you're ready to get started, let's do it…
Table of Contents
Note: the video tutorial was created with beginners in mind. The following step-by-step instructions are for more experienced users.
Step 1: Create a New Document
For this design project, I will use the following dimensions; 1920 x 1080 @ 300 ppi. Let's use this hexadecimal number (representing a retro orange) – #a84428 for the background color.
To use this color, click on your foreground color swatch and type the hexadecimal into the HTML notation box.
Pro Tip:
Make sure the resolution is set to 300 ppi. The reason why is GIMP, unlike Photoshop, is 100% raster-based software.
The text, in GIMP, will have sharper details at a higher resolution.
Even if I'm working on a document or project that will be mostly for online use, I will still use a resolution of 300.
And then, when I'm ready to post it online, I will resize the canvas to a resolution of 72 ppi.
Step 2: Create a Custom Retro Dot Pattern
I could give you the patterns I created and show you how to install them. But how fun would that be? Not very much. So…
… let's create a new document for your custom patterns. Let's start off with 5px for the Width and Height for the dimensions @ 300ppi. For the color, set the foreground to black.
Next, increase your canvas size to 25px for the Width and Height.
Image > Canvas Size
For this design, I'd like the black square to be dead-center in the up-sized canvas. At this time, it's going to be located on the top left of the canvas. So, we need to tell GIMP to center it by clicking on the "Center" button… click Resize.
Now, you need to export the pattern to be used with your retro text effect design. But first, you have to determine the folder location to export it to. It's different for Windows, Mac, and Linux users.
No worries, it's easy to find. Here's how…
Edit > Preferences
Locate the "Folders" option, expand, and select "Patterns." This will display the folder structure for your system. Make a note of it, so you know where to export your pattern to.
File > Export As
Via the "Save in Folder:" option at the top, navigate to the folder location you found previously. Give your pattern a name and make sure the file extension is set to ".pat," click Export. A new window will appear, giving you the option to add a description and then click Export again.
Although the pattern has been saved in the correct folder, it's not accessible in GIMP until you refresh the Patterns.
Open up the Patterns panel via Windows > Dockable Dialog > Patterns.
At the bottom of the panel, click on the Refresh Patterns icon. You should now see your new pattern within.
Step 3: Create a Custom Diagonal Pattern
Our second pattern is going to be a diagonal line. Which we're going to create from the previous pattern and canvas. Let's change the color of the square to the following hexadecimal #807472. Fill it in with your Bucket Fill tool.
Go to your Layers Panel and duplicate the layer four times. With your Move tool ("M"), adjust each new layer to create a diagonal line. Next, export your pattern and refresh the patterns as you did previously.
Step 4: Create a Custom Newsprint Pattern
Our next custom pattern is going to be a half-tone or newsprint effect. You can close the document used for the last two patterns and create a new one for this pattern. The size will be 512×512, and set the "Fill with:" to the same brown color used previously.
This pattern is going to be created with a built-in GIMP filter…
Filters > Distort > Newsprint
Adjust the settings to match mine…
Export and refresh the patterns.
Step 5: Add Your Text + Align To Center
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/chunkfiveBefore we add our patterns, let's add some text. For the font style, I'm going to use ChunkFive with a font size of 350. For the color, let's do white. For this project, let's type out RETRO in all caps. Also, the spacing between the letters is a little too tight.
You'll need to increase the spacing to achieve the text effect we're creating in this design project. Go to the tool options and increase the Kerning or via the text toolbox before typing. I've set mine to 80.
As for the alignment, I'm going to use my Move tool (M) to move it into position. Place it up a little higher than the center and try to eyeball the horizontal center.
For this text effect to turn out the way we want it to, you'll need to increase the layer boundary…
Layer > Layer to Image Size
Step 6: Add a Stroke To Your Text
Now the fun begins! Let's start off by creating a stroke around the text. Although GIMP has a built-in stroke tool, we're going to make one manually. Why? The Stroke will be crisper and will not be pixelated vs. the built-in option.
Right-click on your text layer and select "Alpha to Selection." This auto selects each individual letter! To create a stroke, we need to first increase the size of the selection.
Select > Grow @ 4px
Create a new layer for your Stroke, name it Stroke, and set to Transparency. Then, set the foreground color to #baa78a, and fill in the selection (any letter will do) with your Bucket fill tool. Next, if needed, move the Stroke layer below the text layer.
Step 7: Create an Inner Shadow
At the time of this GIMP tutorial, an Inner Shadow tool was not available. That's ok, though, since we can create one manually.
First, make a selection of your text by right-clicking on the text layer and choosing "Alpha to Selection."
Next, duplicate the Background layer and move it above all the other layers. Right-click on this layer and select "Add Alpha Channel." Now, hit your Delete key or Backspace key to remove the pixels within the selection and deselect with Shift + Ctrl or Command + A.
To add the Inner Shadow…
Filters > Light and Shadow > Long Shadow
Let's change the color of the shadow to dark grey or black. The "Style" option at the top will adjust the softness of the shadows edge. By default, we have Finite selected, which creates a hard edge.
I prefer a softer edge and can achieve this by selecting Fading. I'm going to keep the other settings at the defaults. Feel free to play around with the different options to adjust the shadow based on your personal preference.
Once you've applied the shadow, double click on the layer name and rename it to "Inner Shadow."
One more thing… the orange color on the shadow layer needs to be removed. Invert the selection by going to Select > Invert and then hit your Backspace or Delete key.
Don't forget to deselect before moving on; Shift + Ctrl or Command + A.
Step 8: Apply Your First Retro Pattern
It's now time to add our first custom retro pattern that you created previously. Click on your Retro text layer (to activate it), right-click, and choose Alpha to Selection.
Next, create a new layer named Pattern 1, set "Fill with:" to Transparency, and hit OK. Grab your Bucket Fill tool (Shift + B), go to the tool options, and set the Fill Type to "Pattern fill."
Just below, click on the square box and select the Newsprint pattern. Then, fill in that pattern by clicking inside of the selection. Deselect with Shift + Ctrl or Command + A.
Step 9: Apply Your Second Retro Pattern
This time, select your Background layer, create a new layer labeled Pattern 2, and apply the dot pattern. Also, set the Opacity of the layer to 50.
Step 10: Create a 3D Long Shadow
Let's add some depth to our design with some long shadows.
Select your Retro text layer and duplicate it with the name of 3D Shadow. Move this layer below the Stroke layer.
Filters > Light and Shadow > Long Shadow
For the shadow color, I'm using #333333. I'd like it a little shorter for the length and will adjust the "Length" to 61.
Step 11: Apply Your Third Retro Pattern
Duplicate the 3D Shadow layer and rename it Lines. Guess what pattern we're adding next? Yep, the Diagonal Line pattern.
Make a selection of the layer with Alpha to Selection (like we've done many times throughout this GIMP tutorial) and fill it in with your line pattern… deselect.
Step 12: Create a Second & Third Drop Shadow
Another shadow or two to enhance the text style!
Duplicate your Diagonal Line layer and rename to Shadow 2. Move it below the 3D shadow layer. Go ahead and add a long shadow as you did previously (with the same color) and shorten the length to 23.
Duplicate Shadow 2 and name it Shadow 3. Make sure this new layer is below Shadow 2.
Add another Long Shadow with a little longer length, change the angle, and drop the opacity to your preference.
To further style this shadow, I changed the Blending Mode to "Overlay."
Step 13: Create a Retro Texture
Last but not least, let's add a retro texture to our design. Here is the texture file I'm using. Once downloaded, find the file on your system and drag/drop over the GIMP interface.
Once you release your mouse button, the file will be added as a new layer. If needed, resize the layer to match the width and height of your canvas. In Blending Modes, let's switch the mode to Screen and then drop the layer's Opacity to 15.
Oh, and move this layer below Shadow 3!
One more thing…
Action Is Power

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area (BBBSBA), the largest and oldest one- to -one mentoring program in the Bay Area, held its " Power of Mentorship" fundraising Gala on March 21 at the Four Seasons in San Francisco. Over 400 Bay Area philanthropists, corporate leaders, and community leaders came together for an evening of inspirational speakers, fine dining, and a live auction. The funds will directly support BBBS of the Bay Area's one-to-one mentorship program for at-risk children between the ages of 6 and 18.
Roberta Gonzales of KPIX was the Master of Ceremonies with the keynote speech being delivered by David Kirp- James D. Marver Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy, UC Berkeley. Professor Kirp is the author of seventeen books—including Kids First: Five Big Ideas for Shaping Children's Lives and America's Future (2011) which prominently features mentoring. The book highlights Big Brothers Big Sisters as an exemplary program.
BBBSBA CEO, Kathy Bella, presented Philanthropy awards to Irene Wong, Director of Community Grant making at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and to Ronald Copeland, Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer at Kaiser Permanente. Board Chair, Tom Keiser, presented Big & Little Exemplary Match Awards to Big Brother Adam and Little Brother Kiere, Big Sister Evelyn and Little Sister Stephanie, Big Brother David and Little Brother Erick. Surveys of parents/guardians whose Little had been matched for 12 months or more, have shown that the impact is measurable and lasting. Recent statistics show that 100% improved their GPA's if they were struggling in school, 96% improved their ability to avoid using physical violence, and 92% improved their self-confidence. The evening concluded with a lively auction led by auctioneer Greg Quiroga of Reynolds and Buckley. Guests vied for spectacular items such as a VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the Tesla Factory, a romantic wine country getaway, a week of adventure in London, an insider experience with the San Francisco Giants, and an Easter egg hunt at the White House. The highest bid of the night, $19,000, won a week of tropical paradise at a private oceanfront estate on Maui.

Whenever there is a crisis, European Union leaders have the habit of saying that the bloc will emerge stronger. They have been repeatedly disproved of this slogan, which has lost all meaning.
The war in Yugoslavia, which led to the killing of tens of thousands during the 1990s, didn't push the EU into developing a credible foreign or defense policy.
The global financial crisis of 2008–2009 followed by the near collapse of the EU's euro currency weren't enough to convince European leaders to pursue more economic integration.
The war in Syria, now in its tenth year, should have shamed European leaders into some kind of action to stop the misery and killing. Instead, with few exceptions, European leaders turned inward, unwilling to take any kind of political or moral leadership.
And when that war led to refugees trying to seek safety in Europe, the reaction by several European leaders was to keep these suffering people out. To this day, European leaders cannot agree on a refugee, asylum, or migration policy.
These crises, instead of having the effect of pulling Europe closer together, have strengthened the individual member states at the expense of the EU institutions. To various degrees, each one of them has pursued its own foreign, economic, and social policies.
Attempts by French President Emmanuel Macron to create a more integrated Europe, which was one of his campaign slogans that got him elected in 2017, have faded away. In short, over the past few years the EU's member states have quite happily gone their own way, even retreating into their own national comfort zones while at the same time being content to let the European Commission remain the guardian of competition and trade.
Logically, the coronavirus now ravaging parts of Italy and Spain and sweeping across the continent should be the ideal opportunity for the EU to move away from complacency and national individualism to solidarity and European integration. Instead, the pandemic, so far, has proved the opposite.
Each member state's government has adopted its own way of containing the virus. Yes, they all have now introduced curfews and restrictions after seeing what happened in Italy. And, led by Germany, governments are opening their purse strings to support those who have lost their jobs or been forced into temporary leave. And national borders are being closed to contain the virus.
But this is not a European response. The pandemic has not generated a sense of solidarity among the member states or forced a reappraisal of the EU's role in setting the agenda, even on something as fundamental as safeguarding the health system.
It's all very well people tweeting their support for Italians and tweeting gratitude for the tens of thousands of medical staff. But governments and the private sector have been woefully slow in producing basic protective clothing both for their own populations and for Italy, Spain, and other countries whose health systems can barely cope with the number of infections and deaths.
Indeed, for such a rich part of the world, it is pathetic to see Russia and China be the ones supplying medical assistance to Italy and Spain. These are the very two countries that are doing their upmost to divide Europe and weaken public morale.
Russia is spreading disinformation and fake news about how governments are either lying about the virus or being incompetent in containing it. Leaders across the EU should openly criticize such campaigns and find ways to combat these insidious narratives. Meanwhile, China is adeptly using its soft power to win favors from individual European countries.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is using the pandemic to accumulate more powers by effectively bypassing the Hungarian parliament. No doubt he'll get away with it, similar to all the other measures he has taken in recent years that make a mockery of Europe's values.
In short, the pandemic has turned into a national—not a European—pursuit of containment.
When it is all over, a few things, hopefully, will have changed in Europe. The bloc's health system will need a radical overhaul. This is about dealing with the rampant corruption in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania, the lack of planning and logistics in other countries, and the absence of coordination in terms of research across the bloc. This is about changing the meaning of security.
Investing the EU with powers over health is not the answer. It's about governments, the private sector, civil society, and the medical-scientific profession working hand in hand across the bloc to prepare for the next pandemic or next security threat.
It's about those four players defending, communicating, and practicing Europe's values and democratic institutions. Without that, the coronavirus will have had the effect of consolidating national comfort zones, much to the comfort of those seeking to weaken the EU.

The essay surveys how German painting East and West has dealt with the Third Reich and the Holocaust and how it is shaped by the Cold War confrontation. The comparison of East and West German art opens up both affinities and differences that challenge the lingering Cold War view of East German art as unworthy of consideration and qualitatively inferior to anything produced in the West.

American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel
This fifth edition builds on the requirements for designing garments intended to provide enhanced visibility to the worker. ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 , American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel continues to present three performance classes of garments based on the number of visible materials and design attributes incorporated into the final configuration and identifies garment types based on expected use settings and work activities being performed. These are designated as off-road (type O), roadway and temporary traffic control (type R), or public safety activities (type P).
Key updates include the specific criteria for a single-use high-visibility disposable coverall, which is often used in dirty working environments where worker visibility is imperative and introduction a garment's overall nighttime luminance as an optional reporting characteristics. Additionally, to emphasize the configurations and design requirements that contribute to the Type-Performance Class designations, previous criteria related to accessories has been removed. Updates have also been made to the tests methods in an effort to align more closely with other material integrity tests and to recognize current versions used for evaluating the materials
To comply with ANSI/ISEA 107-2020, a garment's background material and retroreflective or combined-performance material must be tested by an accredited laboratory. The manufacturer of the finished item then verifies that the garment or headwear meets all the requirements of the standard, and provides a Declaration of Conformity for each model. Examples of test forms and the Declaration of Conformity are included in the standard and located in the resource section below.Click Here to Purchase the Standard

Make sure you've read CHAPTER 4 of Social Problems and also considered some of the examples presented in the mini lecture video for this week prior to completing this assignment.
Please answer one of the following questions in two or less paragraphs (make sure each sentence counts):
(1) There have always been calls to medicalize drug problems, but in the past they had a little effect, especially in the case of crack, heroin, and meth. Why weren't they more successful in the 80s and 90s (or before with respect to other drugs)?
(2) You'll probably recall from chapter 3 that certain claimsmakers, including activists and activist led social movement organizations can exercise "ownership" of a certain social problem. Under what circumstances can experts lose ownership of a social problem? Provide a brief example.
** because I assume that you have taken prior courses in sociology, I expect you to conduct a little research Into the examples I've included in the questions, or examples that you will consider on your own initiative, in order to answer one of the two questions. Please appropriately cite the source using a format of your choice. There are several databases available through the VSU library website, as well as sociology websites like "The Society Pages." You could simply search using keywords like, "criminalization of heroin addiction" or other terms associated with the example that you want to explore. You could also search "the social construction of___________,e.g.,_______ epidemic."
You can cite newspaper and magazine online or print articles, especially when those publications are quoting purported experts in a particular area associated with a social problem.

Amari Miller makes NXT debut
WWE NXT newcomer Amari Miller made her debut on this week's "Takeover: In Your House" go-home show.
This week's NXT episode saw Mercedes Martinez come to the ring for a singles match against Miller. Xia Li attacked Martinez before the match to soften her up for their Takeover match on Sunday. Martinez fought Li off and ordered the referee to start the match she came out for. She then squashed Miller with just a few moves, pinning her to get the win.
Miller was formerly known as Camron Clay, Camron Connors and Camron Bra'Nae. The "Amari Miller" name is new as she had been listed on the WWE Performance Center roster as "Camron Clay" as recent as Tuesday night.
Miller was signed in the same late February WWE Performance Center Class that included several top recruits – Trey Baxter, Carmelo Hayes, Franky Monet, LA Knight, Parker Boudreaux, Bronson Rechsteiner, Zoey Stark, Gigi Dolin, Asher Hale, Cora Jade, and others. She has been wrestling for 4-5 years and previously worked for EVOLVE, WWN Live and other indie promotions. She also worked the October 25, 2019 SmackDown episode as an enhancement talent, losing to Lacey Evans.
Miller took to Twitter after the show and wrote, "Did this just happen today! Oh my gosh @WWENXT"
She then thanked NXT and her good friend, Zayda Ramier, who was signed in that same WWE Performance Center Class.
"When @ZaydaRamierWWE gives u a little shove of confidence for you to walk out to the WWE universe for the first time! Thank you @WWENXT and of course thanks Zayda(my wrestling sister) [red heart emoji] [smiling face hearts emoji] [red heart emoji]," Miller wrote on Twitter.
Miller also posted a quick note to her Instagram Stories, writing, "Everything just keeps getting better and better thank you @wwenxt"
Stay tuned for more on Miller in NXT. You can see video from this week's match below, along with her related tweets:

No matter how hard you try, you'll never rid the world of cockroaches. But if you're trying to keep your home or business roach-free, then we can help.
We queried experts at the National Pest Management Association to learn what chemicals and traps to use and when it's time to call in the professionals. (Read more about our methodology here.) The best solution for your infestation will probably be a combination of two or three of the products we recommend below, considering the resilience of your foes. Even though they outlived the dinosaurs, we've got the chemicals and the technology.
Below are our picks for the most effective and expert-approved weapons in cockroach warfare. Some of these roach killers and traps get the job done on contact, while others allow a roach to transport poison back to the nest and spread it to the lot. Learn more about how Insider Reviews tests and researches home products.
Best roach killer overall: Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer, $8.97 on The Home Depot
Use Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer around the periphery of your house every few months, and roaches stand little chance of breaching its interior.
Best contact spray roach killer: Raid's Ant & Roach Killer Insecticide Spray,$9.99 on Target
When you're coming face to face with roaches, Raid Ant & Roach Killer is an on-the-spot spray that will make short work of your adversaries — at least the ones you can see.
Best gel roach killer: Advion Cockroach Gel Bait, $38.811 on Amazon
Advion Cockroach Gel Bait applies invisibly wherever you need it and then makes its way back to the nest to wreak havoc.
Best roach trap: Black Flag Roach Motel Insect Trap, $3.47 on The Home Depot
The Black Flag Roach Motel Insect Trap kills cockroaches and keeps the dead ones contained and out of sight.
Best roach bait: Combat Max 12-Month Roach-Killing Bait, $9.99 on Amazon
Common, small roaches don't require anything too pernicious, and Combat Max 12-Month Bait Stations are plenty effective and discreet.
Use Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer around the periphery of your house every few months, and roaches stand little chance of breaching its interior.
Pros: Long-term preventative solution, suited for outdoor and indoor use, also works for spot-killing
Cons: Labor-intensive, spray nozzle can be finicky, poses a threat to aquatic habitats
A preventative spray, Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer is effective for about three months at keeping roaches and plenty of other six-legged creatures at bay.
Whether you're neck-deep in cockroaches or you're just preparing for or anticipating the worst, a perimeter spray is a great measure to take both inside and out. It also keeps far more than roaches out of your house and creates a buffer against an impressively diverse list of potentially more harmful critters.
Wearing a mask, use the electric spray gun (included with the gallon-size jug), slightly dampen a four-inch perimeter around your house and make sure to keep children and animals away from it until it's dry (same goes for indoor application, though you'll want to apply less liberally).
The main thing you want to keep in mind is thoroughness. You're essentially building a fence, so lay the stuff on thick. Coat window and door frames, crawlspaces, garage doors, and all crevices. Fortunately, you'll only have to do this once a season.
One final note: because this product contains Bifenthrin, which is toxic to certain aquatic creatures, including fish, consider avoiding using it if your property borders a body of water.
When you're coming face to face with roaches, Raid Ant & Roach Killer is an on-the-spot spray that will make short work of your adversaries — at least the ones you can see.
Pros: Instantly effective, effective against most insects
Cons: Only effective upon sight, not a long-term solution, relatively toxic
Kill-on-contact spray is important to have for visible infestations. Keep in mind that it contains a cocktail of Cypermethrin and Imiprothrin, among others, all of which are somewhat toxic to humans.
Raid's Ant & Roach Killer Insecticide Spray is also handy when you have a clear idea of where the roaches are traveling. It remains temporarily lethal enough that if you spray their trail before shutting out the lights and heading off to bed, it will still harm them.
Complete eradication requires a combination of approaches, and sprays like this won't kill the roaches you can't see and trace. A perimeter spray and bait stations will pick up most of your slack, though. Raid Ant & Roach Killer Insecticide Spray is great to have on hand for pretty much any bug infestation.
Advion Cockroach Gel Bait applies invisibly wherever you need it and then makes its way back to the nest to wreak havoc.
Pros: Long-lasting, placement is highly customizable, also attracts and takes care of crickets (field and house), silverfish, and ants
Cons: Labor-intensive to apply, not pet-safe
When you have a serious infestation and can't pinpoint the source or the nest, a spreadable gel is a great option. You can smear it into any suspect cracks, corners, and crevices. As hermetically sealed as your domicile may be, there are almost always cracks, and that is indeed how the roaches get in.
Advion's Cockroach Gel Bait, with Indoxacarb as its active ingredient, mercilessly attacks the pests' nervous systems and spreads throughout the nest. Before long, the whole colony is wiped out.
While application is more involved than opening a box and dispersing a few traps throughout the house, Advion's Cockroach Gel Bait comes with applicator tips so that it's not a horribly messy chore.
Squeeze it into cracks and create a bead or dots around baseboards, near trash cans, and anywhere else the vermin may be finding their way into your living space. However, it's not good for pets.
This formula is also approved for boats, planes, and other vehicles, including your car.
The Black Flag Roach Motel Insect Trap kills cockroaches and keeps the dead ones contained and out of sight.
Pros: You won't wake up to dead bugs on your floor, odor-free, pesticide-free
Cons: Traps become tattered over time, might also trap smaller rodents (e.g., mice) that could render the trap useless
A self-contained trap like Black Flag's Roach Motel is often the most practical and comfortable approach. Cleanup is much less involved: Just pick it up and toss it once it's full or too tattered to perform its job any longer. It also entices and contains spiders, scorpions, crickets, and other insects.
This is a great option for households with pets and small children. The active ingredient in these traps isn't a pesticide but merely sticky tape. Even if their fingers or paws do find their way in, it's nontoxic.
Roach Motels come two to a pack. The way they work is simple: Black Flag's sweet proprietary concoction lures in the roaches (and other pests). Once inside the trap, they find themselves attached to a sticky tape.
While this is arguably cruel, keep in mind that roaches probably aren't capable of experiencing pain like we are. However, smaller rodents might also find their way in, at which point they will be trapped and left to suffer (as they do in traps like these).
Common, small roaches don't require anything too pernicious, and Combat Max 12-Month Bait Stations are plenty effective and discreet.
Pros: Long-term efficacy, discreet
Cons: Doesn't work on larger species (stations for larger species are prohibited in some places)
The heavy sprays and gels aren't necessary for the common, small roach. An insecticide with Fipronil, like Combat's Max 12-Month Roach Killing Bait Stations, is more than adequate.
The beauty of these contraptions is threefold: They're affordable; they last for a whole year as the packaging suggests; and the domino effect they have on the nest, and potentially the entire local population, is underway the second one individual roach takes the bait.
We also particularly like how nondescript these bait stations are. Toss them under the fridge or in the back of the kitchen cabinet, and guests will never see them. Far and away, this is the easiest and cheapest solution to start with, but generally, you'll also have to take other measures.
We spoke with waste management professionals at Organic Pest Control NYC and Cindy Mannes, vice president of public affairs for the NPMA, to learn the most effective chemicals and approaches to cockroach management. We also found out the necessary concentrations of active ingredients to get the job done.
One rule to ridding a space of roaches supersedes all measures: Proper food storage and waste disposal are your first (and most effective) line of defense. Cindy Mannes, vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), told Insider that the best way to control a cockroach problem is, essentially, not to let them in in the first place. That means removing anything that the insects find attractive — food, water, and clutter, which offers warmth and a place to hide.
"Cockroaches are some of the most resilient pests in the world, making getting rid of them a difficult task for consumers to do themselves," Mannes said. "People can take steps, however, to mitigate cockroach problems through barrier exclusion and cleanliness."
Other specific considerations were:
Ease of use: Is it something as simple as opening a cartridge and slipping it under the sink, or do you have to crawl around on your hands and knees with protective gear on? We offer recommendations across the spectrum, so choose what is most practical (and realistic) for you and your household.
Toxicity: We considered whether active ingredients were toxic to humans and pets. Essentially, everything is at the very least mildly toxic, but some options, like the Fipronil found in Raid's Bait Stations, were considerably less problematic for pets.
Effectiveness: Effectiveness is without a doubt the most important feature of a roach killer or trap. We considered the active chemicals, our experts' recommendations, and user reviews.
Chemicals that affect the central nervous system of insects work best, especially because they're so effective with roaches but don't tend to affect mammals (specifically pets and humans) to the same degree. Cypermethrin, Imiprothrin, Fipronil, and Indoxacarb are the more common EPA-approved ones and the active ingredients found in the products we recommend above.
Yes, but it's not as safe or as effective as specifically designed insecticides.
Yes, boric acid can work very well, entering either through digestion or basic contact, but being a powder, it's messy. It also tends to lose potency quickly.
Yes. Diatomaceous earth is a potent but pet- and human-safe implement for killing cockroaches. It breaks down their exoskeletons, and roaches also bring it back to the nest, so the domino effect can work extremely well within a few weeks.
You'll just need to continuously spread a dusting of it in the problematic area, which, as with boric acid, can become messy.
Depending on the degree of your infestation and the amount of effort you are willing to do on your own (before you call an expert extermination service), any of our recommendations are applicable. But here's the basic run-down of application and effectiveness of each type of trap and poison:
Bait stations: Bait stations lure roaches in for poisonous bait, which they'll then take back to the nest. Dead roaches will be scattered about, but application is as easy as dropping the little plastic discs here and there and replacing them every 12 months. This is about as easy as it gets, but there will be cleanup.
Gel baits: Gel baits are second only to preventative sprays because while they're thoroughly effective, they leave behind a trail of dead bugs. Still, this is a great way to stop roaches from developing regular trails through kitchen cabinets, cracks in the wall, and other tight crevices.
Preventative sprays: Preventative sprays are somewhat labor-intensive. You have to thoroughly and carefully spray them around your house's inner and outer perimeters and let it dry (for about four hours) before going near the sprayed areas. In our experience and based on our experts' recommendations, this is the most effective option.
Spot-killing sprays: If you're coming face to face with roaches in your home, a spray will get the job done on the spot. You'll have to clean up afterward, though. Plus, depending on how much you spray, you can really foul the air in your house for a while.
Sticky traps: Sticky traps can be effective. While they're pesticide-free, they're a little cruel because whatever gets stuck in there will die of exhaustion or starvation. These traps also tend to be on the larger side, so they're harder to hide.
No matter what type of poison you use, effectiveness is going to be relative to cleanliness. If your house is a sty, you'll just keep inviting in roaches (and other pests). Keep counters and floors clean; keep your sink free of dishes; store food in airtight containers; vacuum weekly; ventilate crawl spaces; and prevent moisture from building up, especially due to leaky pipes and faucets.
Roach killers are toxic by nature, but plenty of chemicals will exterminate without being toxic to pets and humans. Here's more about the toxicity in the active ingredients found within the products we recommend:
Cypermethrin: A fast-acting neurotoxin in insects, Cypermethrin is generally only a mild irritant to humans and mammals, as it's 1,000 times more potent to insects. Still, it's best to avoid skin contact when handling it. (Note, Ortho's Home Defense Insect Killer includes Cypermethrin but also features a small concentration of Bifenthrin, which is harmful to aquatic insects and finfish, and it's best to avoid letting it leak into bodies of water.)
Fipronil: Also used for killing fleas and ticks on dogs, Fipronil affects the central nervous system of insects. While studies show that it's heavily toxic to rodents, it will only cause mild skin irritation in humans. If consumed, health effects become much more serious, though not necessarily life-threatening.
Imiprothrin: Categorized by the EPA as having a "low order of toxicity" in humans (and mammals), Imiprothrin exposure manifests as a mild skin and eye irritant and is considered suitable for indoor applications.
Indoxacarb: Classified by the United States EPA as a "not likely" human carcinogen, Indoxacarb is a pyrethroid also used to prevent the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms from insects to humans and other animals. Still, it has caused neurotoxicity in several studies of both mice and rats, and you'll want to seek medical attention if ingested.

When do I need to open a representative office to sell goods or services in Ukraine?
Cost of services:
Reviews of our Clients
When going to enter the market of Ukraine with their goods or services, many people ask the question: Do we need to start a representative office in Ukraine? After all, representative office is not the only way to enter the market of another country.
In this article we will elaborate on the cases when it will be more appropriate to start a representative office, and when it is better to find an alternative option.
Read also: Change In The Price Of The Representative Office Registration In Ukraine
1. Question 1: Do I need a license to sell products or services?
First of all, you should learn whether it is necessary to obtain a license to trade in your products or provide this type of services in Ukraine. For example, to trade in medicines, many types of solvents for paints and varnishes, and in general many types of chemical products, you need to obtain a license. And some types of cosmetic procedures also require a Medical License. The vast majority of types of licences are not issued to representative offices.
A few years ago, Ukrainian legislation clearly defined that the licensees shall be legal entities registered in Ukraine in the prescribed manner, as well as individual entrepreneurs. Now the law "On Licensing …" defines the concept of a licensee as an economic entity, which has obtained a license. This has given some reason to think that a license can be obtained by anyone who carries out economic activity in Ukraine.
However, if we analyze what a business entity is according to the legislation, it turns out that business entities include:
- legal entities that have been registered in compliance with the requirements of the Civil Code of Ukraine;
- other enterprises (and the enterprises are legal entities), which have been registered in compliance with the requirements of the Civil Code (again of Ukraine);
- other legal entities registered in the established order.
As we can see, the key requirement is the status of a legal entity, and a representative office is not a legal entity, and therefore has no right to obtain a license. Therefore, if you are going to sell products that are subject to licensing, it is better to register a limited liability company, where your company will be the founder.

2. Question 2: What to choose if your products or services are not subject to licensing?
In this case, in order to optimize taxation, it makes sense to establish a representative office.
Besides, the representative office has significant advantages, especially during the crisis: the risk of a raider seizure of the representative office is reduced to a minimum, since:
- The representative office has no participants or shareholders, which means that there are no corporate rights here.
- The representative office is fully subordinate to the company, whose structural unit it is. And chances to drive a forged power of attorney through the Ministry of Economic Development and tax authority, allegedly from a foreign company, are very minimal, despite the fact that such power of attorney shall be certified by a notary of the country of issue and, depending on the country, apostilized / legalized.
Please note! Choose the right type of a representative office: when establishing a representative office, you should pay attention to the fact that you need a permanent representative office to sell goods.
After all, there is also a non-permanent representative office, which is also called non-profit. It is created exclusively to represent the interests of a foreign company. You can find more information about the types of representative offices and the differences between them here.
It is also important to say that if you have no desire to control the process of selling products here in Ukraine, you can simply find a distributor and conclude a distribution agreement with it.
If you want to start your business in Ukraine and think about how to make everything right, don't hesitate to call us! We will help you find the best option.

The customer is boss
Too often campaigns are created for the 'wow' factor or the 'carnival fun' factor and end up with a lot of waste e.g. unmemorable experiences or a ton spent on free giveaways for people who have no intention of engaging with your brand. The onus is on the brand to understand who their customers are and start with what is important to them. Any campaign that does not start there, is a campaign set up to fail.
Stay true to your brand
Make sure your brand stays true to who you are in all aspects of your marketing, especially the live engagement.

"They don't just want to take my body, they want to take my soul!" So runs the overripe line of dialogue that actress Nina Wu (Wu Kexi) has to repeat again and again in "Nina Wu," the fascinating, glitchy, stylish, and troublesome new film from Taiwanese director Midi Z ("The Road to Mandalay"). Nina practices the line in the mirror, rehashes it in auditions (and "auditions") and then in take after take until it becomes a kind of mantra that threads through the film, or less poetically, the line of gibberish that a doll might parrot when you pull its string. Each time, Nina cries. And each time, the words seem to get rawer, a little of their clichéd glibness scuffing off, as we discover that the film is very much about how the taking of a body can cue the taking of a soul, and furthermore, how insidiously the victim of this double theft can be subconsciously convinced of her own complicity in it.
"Nina Wu" was written by its luminous star, inspired by her own experiences as a young actress and by the Harvey Weinstein scandal — much of which happened in plush hotel rooms not far from the Cannes theater where this Un Certain Regard title had its debut. And as the first directly #MeToo-related narrative to play in this context, it is a deeply challenging one, perhaps destined to be misinterpreted in some quarters, as it resists, even contradicts the simplification of its central act of violation into an obviously empowering, triumph-over-adversity arc. One of the basic tenets of #MeToo is that we listen to women; but what if they do not say exactly what #MeToo needs to hear?
In her cramped Taipei apartment, Nina prepares some dumplings and puts on a corseted outfit. She applies makeup, switches on a webcam and a smile and simpers down the lens, greeting her online fans with cutesy peace signs and coy entreaties for online currency. But then her phone rings with the offer of an audition that could be the big break her foundering acting career needs.
She learns her monologue and tries out, but the director (Shih Ming-shuai) appears unconvinced. And then, in the first of the film's rug-pulling transitions (courtesy of one of editors Matthieu Laclau and Tsai Yann-Shan's clever, unfindable cuts) we realize that what seems to be Nina leaving the audition in tears is actually her shooting an emotional scene for the film. She got the part, but quite how that happened, in the space of that tiny elision, is a mystery that Nina will go to extravagant psychological lengths to conceal from herself.
On set, Nina bears up under directorial bullying and turns in a star-making performance. But her reality has started to rupture: Lizards appear in lampshades, cockroaches crawl on her arms, and a sinister, smiling young woman (Hsia Yu-chiao) is following her with the malevolent intent of a "Black Swan." Even when she returns as a star to the reassuring surroundings of her hometown to help her struggling parents, she is haunted by bad dreams featuring a hotel hallway, lit in red neon, and a doorway that she dare not approach.
Wu Kexi turns in a rivetingly brittle, vulnerable performance, navigating her own co-written script with absolute conviction, while Midi Z, formerly best known for works of social realism, luxuriates in ornamenting this psychodrama with hyperstylized noir flourishes. DP Florian Zinke's color-blocked camerawork is sinuous and prowling, and even when not explicitly depicting Nina's fraying state of mind, often tracks her in and out of rooms and buildings in woozy long takes as though the camera, too, were her pursuer.
The film within the film allows Z to create striking sequences depicting the artificiality and unfriendliness of the filmmaking process: A sex scene is choreographed in five emotionless yet humiliating tableaux; another sequence is repeatedly interrupted and reset as Nina struggles to achieve the unnatural pacing her irritated director desires. Other details may be simple coincidences but feel pointed in context: Nina mentions being an extra in "Lucy," a film directed by Luc Besson, against whom multiple accusations of sexual violence and rape have been made; the room Nina is afraid of is numbered 1408, and "1408" is a hotel horror film executive produced by Harvey Weinstein.
There are narrative avenues that are perhaps unnecessary and serve to complicate the tangle of real and unreal even more: The rekindling of a lesbian relationship from Nina's past is touchingly handled, but closeted homosexuality is something of a red herring as far as the main storyline is concerned. Still, it is unusual for an Asian title to centralize female desire, experience, and psychology to this degree, especially when it's styled as a neo-noir, in which genre the female roles are traditionally largely decorative lures for the male protagonist to negotiate. "Nina Wu" is a thrillingly complicated sort of corrective, living out the progressive ideal of giving the victim back her story, even when that story, told with lacerating self-criticism and a deep undercurrent of dismay, includes a great deal that falls far short of progressive ideals.
With so much difficulty already embedded in parsing the #MeToo fallout, we long for easier narratives, with more cathartic outcomes than "Nina Wu" offers. But Z and Wu Kexi's bravery in refusing to neaten and de-clutter an impossibly untidy issue should not be underestimated. The things that powerful men did, and continue to do, to women behind anonymous hotel room doors can have effects more debilitating to the victim's sense of self than all the solidarity in the world can help with. When this story finally resolves, it is not on an uplifting "the truth will set you free" note, but with a harrowing, tawdry, forlorn scene that makes heartbreaking sense of all the fictions that have come before, and that poses a more difficult question about these experiences than we are perhaps ready to hear: When the world tells you you have nothing to be ashamed of (because you don't), what do you do with all the shame?

Hot swapping PC Hardware
I know that this is pretty stupid, but it is possible to hot-swap some PC hardware. I use loadable modules for everything I can, so I can unload the scsi host adapter module, and then add / remove SCSI devices.
I have also added a floppy drive to a running system. First I plugged in the data cable, then the power. I don't know if the is the best order, but it worked. Once it is plugged it, load the module and away you go. (NOTE: Do this at your own risk! PC hardware is not designed to be hot-swappable. But now that there is an OS, which will run for more than a week...)

There is much speculation about the question how did Houdini die? There are many versions of his death. While alive Houdini was known for re-authoring his life in preparation for posterity as well as to help with his current publicity campaigns. So it makes sense that he would even have anticipated his death. He in fact, after his death, publicized through his wife Bessie with the prior arrangement of her trying to communicate with him from beyond. There are still well publicized seances every Halloween in which magicians and others attempt to contact Harry Houdini from beyond the grave. He died on Halloween in 1926 – a date so perfect it almost seems like part of a marketing campaign!

Dramatics NYC in discussions to again sponsor the Platinum Pias
Dramatics NYC, Manhattan's most successful salon chain with 9 locations throughout the city, is in discussion to yet again sponsor the Platinum Pias Awards. Dramatics was a sponsor last year and with hair stylists who are members of the fashion and community organization Stylists for Literacy, it makes for a good fit due to the fact that much work has been done this year with the New York Public Library's Lights Camera Read Literacy Program.
Additionally, Video Film Web Studios is talking with Harliquin "Harley" Merva about again directing the extravaganza. The concept for the program, targeted this year for a possible Harvest Festival NYC launch date, will have something to do with acknowledging those who have "given back" to the community.

The Ben Logan boys golf team finished their season in heartbreak fashion Tuesday by tying for the final spot and loosing the tiebreaker.
Fifteen teams started the day with hopes of moving on.
Kenton Ridge won with a 333 followed by Graham 341, Greenview 359, and Miami East and Ben Logan at 370. In the event of a tie the winner is determined by the fifth score and we lost there.
For the Raiders, Ethan Ricketts shot 78 good for 2nd place overall. He was followed by Alex Naragon 95, Jacob Mitchell 98, Trey Allen 99, and Bryce Loomis 109.
Coach Chris Conley said, "Despite how the day ended I was proud of the way the guys didn't give up. We started as bad as we could have, twelve over as a team on the first hole. And it didn't get a lot better for awhile. However each one continued to give their best and for a long time it appeared it would be enough. It wasn't until the last scorecard was added was it determined we wouldn't be going on. Ethan will however represent the school and team as an individual next Thursday at Beavercreek golf club."
