FreshStrip prototype On the right, the FreshStrip has been exposed to critical heat and switched.
2min video explaining our design and why we should win
2min video explaining our design and why we should win
Spectrometer in which we measure the color change of the printed materials.
Post-processing equipment
Our first ink-jet printer which was used initially.
We improve food safety and reduce food waste with the FreshStrips which are simple stickers that get attached on the outside of food pallets-boxes and change color if the food is exposed to unsuitable temperatures during transportation.
Over 10% of the global annual food waste which costs $1 trillion and contributes 4.4 Gt of CO2 occurs inside the supply chain and costs significantly to producers and retailers (FAO). On the other hand, 32.6% of all food-borne outbreaks in Europe are related to heat exposure (EFSA). In the USA according to the CDC: "each year, 1 in 6 Americans gets sick by consuming contaminated foods or beverages", largely due to consuming badly stored food. Our mission is to make food safer through better monitoring while at the same time reducing food waste. For this effort we have enlisted the help of Merck, Avery Dennison and Metro supermarkets.
The FreshStrip is a thin (<6 micrometres) layer of liquid crystals printed on a plastic/paper adhesive label. The liquid crystals form a helical structure at a nanometre scale. When this structure is exposed to high temperatures for a specific amount of time (both of which we can calibrate) it expands which causes an irreversible shift in color from green to red. Our food chemists define storage temperature per food category and our engineers customize our FreshStrips. Currently we are focused on chilled meat, poultry, fish stored at around 4C which require minimal customization. The FreshStrips get attached on the outside of food boxes. If during transportation these boxes are exposed to unsuitable heat the FreshStrips switch color and act as an alarm for potential food-borne outbreaks. On the other hand, if only a handful of boxes in a shipment are heat-affected we save the rest of the boxes from being discarded as they would be currently.
Initially we envisioned FreshStrips as a consumer packaging solution based on scientific research on liquid crystalline sensors and food safety, conducted at the SFD Lab of the Technical University of Eindhoven (spin-off from Philips) and the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Technology of the National Technical University of Athens. After discussions with supermarkets (Ahold, Lidl, Carrefour) we pivoted towards transportation packaging as this requires less regulatory approvals and entails less risks for supermarkets. We conducted three iterations of printing materials and testing their color response to specific temperatures to examine if they fit specific food profiles before we created our current patent-protected, tunable technology. We then conducted two additional iterations to make our molecules and solvents compliant with relevant regulations. Finally, we tested ink-jet (Fujifilm) and flexographic (Flint Group) printing technologies with the collaboration of the leading companies in their respective fields and determined that flexographic printing is the most reliable way to scale up our production. This July we finished building our flexographic printing line at TUE (capacity of 1000 FreshStrips/day) and secured an agreement for a pilot with Metro Supermarkets.
FreshStrips have the most distinct and vivid colours in the market which is optimal for visual inspections. Our liquid crystals are extensively used in our various screens and have demonstrated results and scalability. FreshStrips cost below 0.03 Euro/item which allows for continuous monitoring of every box instead of only monitoring the transportation vehicle as is currently done. Competing technologies include diffusion-based time temperature indicators (3M), electronic data loggers and RFID (Avery Dennison) and irreversible thermochromic inks (Chromatic Technologies Incorporated). 3M's MonitorMark costs above 1.5 Euro per item due to the cost of materials. Thermochromic inks are very cheap cheap but their colour change is often minimal, unreliable and thus confusing to the user. Avery Dennison's TT Sensor Plus is difficult to use/maintain, do not allow for simple visual inspection (as is the case for RFIDS) and is very expensive (around 25 Euro per item).
First, we want to optimize our production line for minimum cost and maximum throughput. Following this we will be testing our design with Metro as well as other roll-out clients and making implementing design changes to make our product as easy to read as possible. Following this we intend to add new features to the FreshStrips such as humidity sensing. Just by adding humidity sensing we can start addressing the dried and powdered food market. Our ultimate vision is to create a "universal FreshStrip" which measures all possible mitigating factors to food quality including heat, humidity, PH, etc.
We have won the Displaying Futures Award by Merck, The Get in the Ring, the MIT Enterprise Forum competition, the Hellenic Entrepreneurship Award (>1200 applicants), "Best Dutch Chemistry Startup Award 2017" which was awarded to us by Prince Constantijn and Prof. Feringa (Nobel in Chemistry) and we're part of MassChallenge.

Aberdeen midfielder Ryan Christie has no doubts what a win in Saturday's Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden could do for the Dons' state of mind.
Christie played 70 minutes of the Reds' Premiership humbling to Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday.
Craig Levein's side hassled Derek McInnes' insipid charges into surrendering two unanswered goals, which allowed Rangers to overtake Aberdeen in second on goal difference going into the league split.
Focus has now turned to the most important game of the season – the semi-final of the national trophy against Motherwell this weekend – and Christie thinks a win against the Steelmen would not only give the Pittodrie club a chance at a first Scottish Cup since 1990, but banish memories of the horrors of Edinburgh.
He said: "It's good we've got such an opportunity at Hampden to put things right.
"If we do win, we've got huge positivity again going into the final few league fixtures.
"That's when you want to be playing your best stuff – when it matters.
"It's important for all the boys in the changing room to realise that, to be going into the final few weeks and our game is at the top."
There will be three enforced changes McInnes will have to make at Hampden, with skipper Graeme Shinnie, playmaker Kenny McLean and right-back Shay Logan suspended.
Christie said the gaffer warned his players they were playing for their semi places before the Hearts game but, despite the obvious frustration at handing the league initiative back to Rangers and more potential changes, he thinks a week of training will ensure the Dons go to Hampden in a confident mood.
Christie, who played in the Reds' 2-0 league win over Well at Fir Park last week, said: "The weekend (against Hearts) was frustrating and everyone will look back at it. It will be annoying.
"But back in training our heads will be on the cup game and we'll still be very positive and confident going into that game.
"We'll have to see, it's up to the manager.
"He did say before the game we had to play for our chance in the starting 11 on Saturday.
"It was very frustrating the way the game went and the boys were pretty gutted at the way we let Hearts dictate the game and stepped aside.
"Now it's important that we bounce back and get ready for the semi."
There are certainly lessons the on-loan Celtic player thinks the Dons can learn from Tynecastle and put right for Saturday, where Aberdeen will play a physical Well side.
Christie said: "It was me and a couple of others not making the right choices and in other parts of the game, when it was a high tempo, (we should've been) calming it down and keeping the ball for a bit.
"It's actually something we've done well over the last couple of games – we've managed to dominate and keep the tempo at our pace.
"To be fair to Hearts they played very well, pressed us very well and they were a very good tactical outfit."
Should Aberdeen win through to the Scottish Cup final, they'll have six games left this term – including five post-split fixtures against Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Hibs and Kilmarnock.
Christie thinks the Reds need to find a way to keep winning to make sure any cup success – which will surely require a win against one of Glasgow's big two in the showpiece on May 19 – is supplemented by a fourth second-place Premiership finish in a row.
He said: "Every game from now until the end of the season in the league is about (getting) second place.
"We need to make sure we win as many as possible."

Manage Supporters
The Manage link allows you to list, add, and edit supporter records. By clicking on Manage Supporters, you will access a dropdown menu that gives you three options: Add Supporter, List Supporters, and De-duplicate Supporters.
Add Supporter
You can use this page to add a new supporter to your list. This will prompt an "Add A Person" screen. Enter the supporter's data into the fields provided.
Note: There are other fields in a supporter record; these are just the basic fields you can input to manually input your new record.
When you are ready, click the "Save" button. This will save the supporter in your database, and it will redirect you to the standard supporter record view for your new supporter.
List Supporters
This page shows you a list of supporters in your database. Each line in the list represents one supporter, and you can see at a glance fields such as the Supporter Key, First Name, Last Name, Email, State, and date created.
On the left hand side of the screen next to each supporter is a link labeled "Details." If you click on this link, you will be taken to a detailed record of all of the data you have on that supporter, including contact information, donation history, and contact history.
On the right hand side of the screen next to each supporter record are two links labeled "Copy" and "Remove." If you click on "Copy," you will create a duplicate record in the database. The "Remove" link will delete the supporter record from your database.
You can edit any fields displayed in this list by clicking within the field that you want to edit and making changes. Changes that you make to these fields will be saved real-time, without the need to click a "Save" button.
Navigating through pages of your supporters
By default, each page will list 50 records from your list. At the bottom of the page, you will see the number of pages of results. Each page number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) is a link. By clicking on the link for a particular page number, you will be taken directly to that page of records. Clicking the link labeled "Next-->" will take you to the next page of results, and clicking on "End >>" will take you to the last page of results.
Changing the number of results per page
By default, each page will display 50 of your records. On the right hand side of your screen, above your list of supporters, is a dropdown menut labeled "Results per page." The dropdown menu contains other options for number of results to display per page. For example, if you click on the option 150 from the dropdown menu, the page will refresh, including 150 results instead of 50.
Filtering your list
You can set filters to narrow the list of records displayed on this page. Directly above your list of records is a dropdown menu labeled "Show Rows Where." From this list you can choose a supporter field (such as Email or State). Next to the dropdown menu is a text input field labeled "starts with" which you can use to specify the filter you want to apply to your list. The percent sign (%) can be used as a wildcard.
For example, if you filter with the following criteria:
Show Rows Where: Email
starts with:
And hit the button labeled Go! you will be given a list of all of your supporters who have Hotmail email addresses.
You can create multiple filters to narrow your list. If you have any active filters, they will appear in the list labeled Current Filtersdirectly underneath the filter builder. On the right hand side of the list is a link labeled Clear All Filters. Click on this link to remove all filters and once again view your entire list of supporters.
Sorting your list
You can sort your records by any column displayed on the screen. Each column header (such as KEY, First Name, and Last Name) appears as a link at the top of the list of records. If you click on one of these links, the page will reload and reorder your records to be sorted by the column you selected. Clicking the same link a second time will cause your records to be reordered again in the opposite order, still by the same column.
Exporting your List
From the bottom right-hand corner, you can select an export type, and export your currently selected list (filtered or not).

3 RCNY Section 401-06 Fire and Emergency Preparedness Guides and Notices
Proposed Rules: Closed to Comments (View Public Comments Received:3)
Fire Department
Statement of Basis and Purpose of Proposed Rule
Since 2000, New York City has required apartment building owners to print and distribute residential fire safety guides to apartment building residents and building staff, and to post fire safety notices on the inside of dwelling unit entrance doors and in building lobbies. The purpose of these fire safety guides and notices is to:
· promote fire safety and fire prevention in apartment buildings;
· educate residents and building staff about the design and construction of their building, including construction type, fire protection systems and means of egress; and
· outline emergency procedures to assist them in the event that they are confronted by a fire and need to determine what action to take to protect themselves and their families.
The format, content, distribution and posting requirements for the fire safety guide and notices were incorporated into the 2008 Fire Code (in FC408.9) and in Fire Department rule 3 RCNY §408‑02, which the proposed rule would amend.
New Fire and Emergency Preparedness Guide
The 2014 Fire Code comprehensively revised Chapter 4, which governs emergency planning and preparedness, and moved the fire safety guide and notice requirements to FC401.6. The 2014 Fire Code expanded the scope of the guide to encompass non-fire emergencies, such as medical emergencies, severe weather emergencies, power outages, hazardous materials releases, and terrorism-related incidents.
This proposed rule would implement the 2014 Fire Code by replacing the existing Fire Safety Guide with a new Fire and Emergency Preparedness Guide ("FEP Guide") entitled "New York City Apartment Building Emergency Preparedness Guide" (Appendix 1 to the renumbered §401‑06). Like its predecessor, the proposed FEP Guide consists of two parts. Part I is the Building Information Section, a form completed by the owner for each building indicating the building's construction, fire protection systems, means of egress and other information specific to the building for which it is prepared. The proposed rule would not substantially change the existing content requirements for this obligation, except to require the owner to indicate whether there is an emergency voice communication system in the building.
Part II of the FEP Guide is designed to educate all building occupants about ways to prepare for emergencies, prevent fires, and protect themselves from various fire and non-fire emergencies. In addition, the FEP Guide emphasizes emergency preparedness planning for persons with functional or access needs who will need assistance if they must evacuate the building in an emergency. During most non-fire emergencies, the elevator is available to evacuate persons unable to walk down stairs without assistance, and in modern buildings of non‑combustible construction, all residents are generally advised to shelter in place during the fire. The Guide explains the importance of developing an individualized evacuation plan and a network of supports who can assist persons with functional or access needs in the event of an emergency in which they need to evacuate and they cannot use the elevator, such as in the case of a fire in their apartment.
Revised FEP Guide Distribution Requirements
Currently, the Fire Safety Guide must be provided to apartment building residents at time of occupancy (when they first move into the building) and must be distributed again every year. The Fire Department proposes to require distribution of the new FEP Guide at time of occupancy and again as part of a building-wide distribution every three years. During the off-years, the proposed rule would require building owners to distribute a short informational bulletin (4 pages or less), which would be used to highlight and reinforce an important, timely fire safety or other emergency preparedness message. This would take advantage of an opportunity to communicate lessons learned or other message when the issue is fresh in the public's mind because of a recent fire or other incident. The informational bulletin will remind apartment building residents to familiarize themselves with the contents of the FEP Guide and advise them on how to obtain a copy if they have not received one.
Additionally, the Fire Department proposes to authorize electronic distribution of the FEP Guide (by email or other form of electronic transmission) to apartment residents and building staff. This would encourage development of electronic communications between owners and residents that can be used for other emergency preparedness communications and in actual emergencies.
Other Considerations
The proposed rule would not change the fire safety notices (Appendix 2 to the renumbered §401‑06) that building owners are required to post.
Text proposed to be deleted is [bracketed]. New text is underlined.
The underlining of words highlighted in green does not indicate a text change, but rather that the text of the existing rule is underlined. The green highlighting indicates that the underlining should be retained in the publication of the final rule.
The underlining of words highlighted in blue indicates new text is being added to the rule. The blue highlighting indicates that the underlining should be retained in the publication of the final rule.
"Shall" and "must" denote mandatory requirements and may be used interchangeably in the rules of this department, unless otherwise specified or unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Hey there, great profile. Nice to see some effort in a bio :)
As for the joke, I figured it was about driving a third of the way through. It totally reminded me of my aunt in the passenger seat next to me! I'm totally gonna hafta do that next time she's cooking :P
Nice recs and excellent entries! have fun on ur "vacation" :D
Well, I initally came to your profile to comment on your recommendations - I've come across several, and they're great! But after I got here, I was sorely tempted to change to "Great Profile!" ^_^ Very funny!

Unlike paedobaptism, there are explicit examples in the NT of prophetic speech by the church without any Scripture that says such things will stop after the close of the canon. What that means is that the Scriptures provide as much explicit warrant for cessationism as it does for paedobaptism. Given that Reformed Baptists typically believe explicit warrant is required for a doctrine, it's curious that cessationism is so strongly held in Reformed Baptist circles.
But, even here, no Reformed Baptist goes around calling Presbyterians cultish for believing in paedobaptism. Why attack Pentecostals and Charismatics on a similar secondary issue, especially when there is no explicit warrant for cessationism in Scripture?

New Beginnings Animal Rescue
New Beginnings Animal Rescue
Company Background
Founded in 2010, New Beginnings Animal Rescue is a non-profit, no-kill, cat rescue facility focused on providing the best possible care for the cats in their care, while they work towards finding them new adoptive homes. Originally started as a pet food pantry and foster home advocate, New Beginnings opened a new adoption center in Royal Oak, MI in 2013 to better serve the cats in their care and provide a gathering place for those in the community.
Project Background
In the fall of 2018 New Beginnings began the search for new flooring options for their facility as their current coating was showing a lot of wear and tear. The floor was full of scratches and had worn through down to bare concrete in areas. Additionally, the anti-slip aggregate included in the coating made cleaning the floors exceedingly difficult, adding to the already difficult job for those volunteers who work at the rescue.
Products Used (Click on product or system for more details.)
One of the biggest challenges with this project was finding a flooring product that could be applied overtop of their existing floor coating and one that could cover up the anti-slip aggregate that had been causing them so many issues. It was very important that the new floor address the cleaning issues they had with the old floor coating and provide a smooth finish. Additionally, they wanted a floor with some character, something colorful with a high-gloss finish that would help to accentuate the overall look and feel of their facility.
After stopping by UCoat It's showroom and speaking with a representative about their options, New Beginnings chose a custom metallic floor coating for use throughout their adoption center. After scuffing the previous coating UClad-LS was applied; this high-build primer was used to cover up all the previous anti-slip aggregate and provide a smooth finish to build from. UDecor Metallic additive was then mixed with UGlaze-SB topcoat and applied in a decorative fashion to not only provide an exceptionally beautiful and colorful finish, but to also provide a high-gloss and chemical resistant one as well.

Over the last five or and so years, there seems to come to be an ever-increasing amount of establishments that happen to be setting up a fresh function in the company office: the Performance Way of measuring Officer. Truly, the subject of this role differs from firm to business, and in which exactly in the institution structure that role is put also varies. Titles for the purpose of performance method facilitator positions have included Performance Statistic Officer, Performance Measurement Home, Manager Effectiveness Measurement, Corporate and business Planning and Performance Reporting Official, Corporate Effectiveness Management Manager and Manager Planning and Performance. Most quite often anybody found in this purpose of efficiency measure facilitator will end up being associated with the corporate and business planning crew, but are as well associated sometimes with all the facts solutions team or simply anywhere in the people resources team. The you thing that is consistent, however , is the matter this person is liable for: to facilitate the design, confirming and consumption of performance details in making decisions about company results and improvement, generally across the entire firm. This kind of telephone calls for very specific elements, and the pursuing half a dozen should be thought about the minimum amount.
Aspect #1: close comprehension of the organizational preparing method
Not having a very detailed knowledge of how the institution truly does the software setting up, and cascades this software direction down into technical and in business programs, the effectiveness evaluate facilitator will certainly struggle to help executives and clubs to focus on computing what matters many. Understanding how to combine efficiency statistic with the arranging process ensures everyone is computing the benefits that will most likely lead to the corporation completing its tactical way and achieving the vision.
Attribute #2: a working knowledge of a variety of overall performance measurement frames
If the performance check facilitator can only case understanding of the Balanced Scorecard, then the company looks the risk of featuring its strategy too quickly sold to an unit which may not end up being the most suitable. They require find out how to apply a range of frameworks to support managers and teams to choose what types of circumstances to design measures for.
Characteristic #3: experience with at least one performance measure execution process
You will discover far even more performance dimension frameworks out there than performance barometer implementation strategies (e. g. six sigma and PuMP)! A functionality measure facilitator that is certainly well worth all their salt is going to have experienced at least one step-by-step process with regards to designing and implementing procedures, and might be on the lookout continuously to look for emerging strategies or to go on to develop and fine tune the one that works just for the organization.
Capability #4: simple quantitative expertise with respect to creating and reporting overall performance measures
While they certainly need not come to be a statistician, the performance measure facilitator does want to end up being at ease and capable to style simple info collection processes, manipulate and make data to get research, conduct simple research computations (such when percentages, averages, percentages, normal deviations), select and structure chart that evidently mention the real alerts in the data, and validly understand the ones alerts.
Option #5: modify operations expertise that happen to be second-nature
Effectiveness rating is definitely not really usually entertaining and inviting, and it is generally threatening and hard function. The effective performance determination facilitator will know this, and can be perfectly equipped with in least some basic alter management methods that they can discover it nearly second mother nature to determine the support of kings, inspire property and buy-in, help to make the motive for change obvious and converse very well to any or all kinds of people.
Attribute #6: intermediate project management skills
Often the performance measure facilitator is undoubtedly operating a lot of parts of the organization throughout the performance way of measuring process at any one period. And particularly once they shouldn't have a large enough team to meet up with the demand intended for performance methods throughout all their organization, very secure project supervision skills is able to keep them devoted to the goals and retain everything else because sorted for the reason that possible.

It's an easy sewing project for a loose-fitting pullover top. It's my second go with this pattern and I still want to make another just because it's so comfortable.
And the pattern offers sleeve and hemline variations making this pattern a keeper. This time I made view B minus the breast pocket. I wanted a top that would go with this skirt I made three years ago. Finally, I have a top that I think goes well with it. But would you believe that I found it also goes with other items in my closet like this skirt. There is nothing like a good basic in a neutral colour.
The fabric is my favourite, silk noir, a rare find at the fabric store now-a-days. I wouldn't let any scraps of this fabric make it to the garbage bin. It's too precious and I plan to piece it together for a future project. That's the plan. For now, I just plan to enjoy wearing this one.
The Stats:
Fabric: 1.3 metres
Pattern: McCall's 7630
Additional Tools & Supplies: Iron, ironing board, cutting table, scissors, pins, tailor's chalk, sewing machine, serger, threads, and a cup of coffee.
Happy Sewing!

When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house." Luke 19:5 (NAB)
Can you imagine? What if Jesus stopped along the way and told you that He was going to stay at your house today? What would you do?
Would you run home and frantically begin cleaning? Would you get out the best china and silver and crystal…the best table linens? And what would you serve? Oh my!
I love the story of Zacchaeus. Here is this little man up in a tree trying to get a glimpse of Jesus. And, his effort did not go unrewarded. He received ever so much more than he had hoped for…not just a glimpse of Jesus, but Jesus as a guest in his home.
How kind Jesus was, and His kindness moved Zacchaeus to repent of his greed on the spot.
I'm sure that Zacchaeus did offer Jesus a table laden with all of the very best he had to give. But, I wonder if that is what Jesus would desire if He came to visit you or me today.
I doubt it. I think He would be very easy to please when it came to table settings and the food that was served. But what He would really be looking at is our heart. Do we love Him…really love Him? Are we genuinely happy that He came, and do we want Him to stay forever? Could we show Him all around the house, or would there be some things we might have to "put away" first?
What are we wearing? Would we be embarrassed? Oh, and would we try to keep Him all to ourselves, or would we invite over our friends and neighbors and allow them to share in the joy of Jesus' Presence?
Actually, the most wonderful, beautiful truth is that Jesus is coming to your house today, and mine too. He comes everyday, if we invite Him. He wants to spend every moment with us, to share in all that we do and say. He is never weary of us. He longs for us to welcome Him like Mary of Bethany and sit at His feet and listen to His wisdom.
He wants to bless our food when we reverently say grace. He lovingly watches us go about our chores, His eyes never leaving us for a moment. How He longs for us to pause, and gaze back at Him, in the secret chamber of our heart.
If friends come over, He listens to hear if His Name is mentioned, and what we might say about Him. He measures our words. Are they kind and compassionate, patient and forgiving?
Everyday with Jesus is different, as we move through our lives. How blessed we are that He is always with us! "I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you."
Some of my favorite characters in the gospels are those individuals whom Jesus sought out…like Zacchaeus, but also like the man born blind, whom Jesus looked for in the Temple, and the poor woman who touched the hem of His tunic and the woman at the well whom He engaged in a lengthy conversation.
How wonderful to be sought out by Jesus! Yet, we are! We all are! To each one of us, Jesus looks tenderly and says, "Today I must stay at your house."
A beloved, holy priest, who is now deceased used to tell me: Make your heart a Bethany for Jesus. Let it be a place of refuge where He can come and rest and be loved.
Jesus said in His earthly life that "the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head." Is this still not true in our own day? Maybe even more so? So many doors are closed to Jesus. So many do not believe in His Love…others do not even care. Like Martha and Mary, let us be His beloved friends.
Jesus, yes, stay with me today! I will try to dust off the tabernacle of my heart…the only cleaning you ask of me. I pray that you will find countless little Bethany's in this world, where You will be welcomed and embraced and loved, where You can rest Your head and Your Heart, where You will be in the company of friends who adore You and desire Your Sweet Presence forever!
"Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over." (Luke 24:29) NAB

The Show Title is is required.
When I turn on the radio, I am ready to let go of the worries of the world and fall into a music that stirs my soul and shakes my can. When listeners tune in to ¡Muévelas! they will experience a wide range of lively, Latin music with a special love affair for Afro-Cuban Jazz. As a drummer and a vinylphile, I have been pleasantly steeping in Afro-Cuban Jazz for years. My heart beats to those rhythms; I have been fanatical from the first. My collection and knowledge have grown as my love has. While I am also a huge fan of the Blues, Bluegrass, Rock, Reggae, Gypsy Jazz, Punk, Old Country and more, the complex beats and impossible musicianship of Afro-Cuban Jazz makes it the musical home I always come back to. I LOVE music. Listening to it, making it, but there's more to it. It's the soundtrack to our days, summing up our moods more succinctly than mere words. I believe it is the single clearest expression of what breathes inside of us. ♥

Creating a Library Instruction Session for a Technical Writing Course Composed of Engineering and Non-Engineering Students
Kevin P. Drees, Kiem-Dung Ta, and Helen Peeler Clements Oklahoma State University
Abstract This paper provides a framework of ideas for librarians and technical writing instructors interested in developing library instruction programs to enhance students' performance in technical writing courses. A new library instruction program for ENGL 3323: Technical Writing addresses a concern of engineering faculty that engineering students, the largest student population enrolled in this course, are not locating the high quality resources needed to round out the development of their assignments. In addition, workplace expectations for new engineering graduates, as well as information literacy guidelines which correlate with ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accreditation criteria justify the need for the program. In the instruction sessions, librarians teach students how to search by subject category rather than by a specific keyword, as well as how to utilize critical thinking skills, make use of discipline- specific databases, consult government documents and technical report collections, and utilize subject experts as a means of increasing the pool of useful information for the development of final project reports. Students are exposed to a range of discipline-oriented databases and print sources in a single instruction session designed to cover business, engineering and agriculture sources in article, technical report, and government document formats. Librarians manage the broad scope of material by focusing on a limited number of subject-discipline library resources and by referring students to additional resources described on print handouts. Librarians found that customizing instruction by searching with students' topics, rather than by using canned examples, helped focus attention and increase the participation of the audience, and reduce lecture content in some cases. Technical writing instructors reported a positive relationship between library instruction and quality of citations in student reports. The program continues as a work in progress.
The goal for the library component of ENGL 3323 is to address the following:
1) Engineering faculty recognized that their students in ENGL 3323: Technical Writing needed an instructional component highlighting library resources because they were not locating the print and electronic resources that would yield the citations needed to round out the development of their papers. The same students displayed a deficiency in the skills needed to utilize the library effectively, specifically those pertaining to searching and using a variety of resources. The College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology enrolls 3,500 of the 23,000 students enrolled at Oklahoma State University.

India Has Worst Child Mortality Gender Differential Worldwide, New U.N. Data Show
An Indian girl between the ages of one and five years old is 75 percent more likely to die than an Indian boy, giving the country the worst gender differential in child mortality in the world, according to new data released by the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the Times of India reports. The "data for 150 countries over 40 years show that India and China are the only two countries in the world where female infant mortality is higher than male infant mortality in the 2000s," the newspaper writes (Shrinivasan, 2/1). In India, for every 100 deaths among females one to five years old, 56 males of the same age group die, whereas the global average is 111 male child deaths to every 100 female children, India Today notes. "Higher mortality among girls is a powerful warning that differential treatment or access to resources is putting girls at a disadvantage," the report said, according to the news service (2/1).

Digital Billboards Helped Recover Over 220 Missing People in a UK Scheme Backed by Kate McCann
The Outdoor Media Centre and charity 'Missing People' have reported that a digital billboard ad operation has helped recover 220 missing people in the UK.
The scheme, which is backed by Kate McCann – mother of missing child Madeline – regularly publicises the name and images of missing people free of charge. The Outdoor Media Centre fills unused and brand-donated ad inventory with the appeals.
The ads are broadcast directly to the location where the individual originally went missing. Creative for the campaign, and the use of OpenLoop, a campaign management platform, was donated by Grand Visual.
Kate McCann said: "When your child is missing, you want the whole world to stop and join the search. Thanks to the Outdoor Media Centre and its members, so many families missing a loved one have benefited from this unique opportunity to appeal for them".

In recent months, MTN Uganda has been taking expos to different major towns across the country as the telco celebrates 20 years since it started operations.
Last weekend, the expo which is characterized by cycling competitions, give aways, entertainment – music performances and product exhibitions, was at the Booma Grounds in Fort Portal.
Co-hosted by comedian Alex Muhangi, the expo climaxed with performances from popular musicians including Sheebah and Beenie Gunter among other local musicians who took turns in entertaining the crowd.
It was however Gravity Omutujju's electric performance that made highlight of the evening. He was the headlining act and he delivered to the satisfaction of many, judging by the reception he got from revelers.
A die-hard fan who chanced at joining the singer on stage won himself a souvenir (Gravity's jacket) after he proved that he could sing his lyrics word-for-word.
Rising comics Maulana and Reign from Kampala we're also part of the line up. As part of the merry making, the evening was also characterized by a showcase of fire works.
Kickboxing champion, Moses Golola too kept the crowd laughing with his hilarious self-praising statements as well as his energetic dance routines.
Below is a pictorial……

- 1 Day 1 in Paris
- 2 Day 2 in Paris
Before you continue this post, please read the first part of my solo travel guide to Paris on a budget.
To be honest, I was incredibly excited to finally visit Paris. So much that on my first day, even though I could not sleep all through the night because of a snoring Indian, I jumped out of my bed as early as possible. I had breakfast and by 10am, I was on my way to the Effiel Tower. Can I just say that Google Maps saved me throughout my trip? I did not need to talk to anyone for directions or consult a physical map. It was everything and then some.
Like I mentioned in my previous post, my planned itinerary was split into the five transportation zones into two full days of exploration. But I was so excited that I tossed my itinerary out and literally just winged it.
Pin this first!
Day 1 in Paris
Visit the Eiffel Tower
Ticking off visiting the Effiel Tower off my bucket list was such a thrill. Even though, the weather was not exactly the best; it was mostly cloudy. I walked toward the Champ De Mars Tour Eiffel while enjoying the view from La Seine river. I feel like La Seine is the equivalent of the Thames River in London. As I walked closer to the Effiel Tower, I felt like crossing over to touching it but I restrained myself. Instead, I took a bunch of photos and videos, bought a lovely charm bracelet and fridge magnet and walked towards the Pont D'lena bridge. Can I just say here that Paris has so many bridges? I couldn't keep track.
As I walked past the bridge, the idea was to get the perfect picture with a backdrop of the Effiel Tower but the light wasn't good. So I just kept walking around La Seine. I got to Trocadero Gardens and asked an Asian couple to try again. They did but it didn't work instead they took some cute pictures of me which I loved so much.
Stil by La Seine, I started walking on a pathway called Av. de New York. Opposite was were a series of similar buildings called Av.du President Kennedy. I had to stop, admire the architecture and take pictures. They were so gorgeous. The buildings were all the same which made the symmetry even more attractive.
Right in front of me was another bridge called Pont de Bir-Hakeim. At this point, I was still looking back to find the best frame with the Eiffel Tower.
Just ahead of me was the Monument de la France Renaissante where a few people where taking photos. Turns out that was the perfect place to stand to get the perfect Eiffel Tower backdrop. I walked as fast as I could so that I would find someone my height to take pictures for me. I eventually did even though it was in a rush. She took some really great photos of me before she had to go to her Crazy Rich Asian clients. Yup! Turns out, she is a photographer! Asian + photographer? Count me in! All through my trip, I found out that Asian strangers took the best photos of me. What can I say? Lucky me!
Go wine-tasting at the Wine Museum
Before leaving the Pont de Bir- Hakeim Bridge, I checked my map to check for any attractions nearby. It said the Wine Museum was just a few minutes away so I went to check it out. On second thought, I shouldn't have walked all the way to the entrance because I don't drink. But I did and still turned back. The only consolation was I could still admire the architecture on Av du. President Kennedy.
Learn about Japanese culture at Maison de la Culture du Japon á Paris
When I was done, I came back to the Pont de Bir – Hakeim Bridge and decided to grab some lunch. But before then, I had planned to stop by the Maison de la Culture du Japon á Paris but their opening hours was from 12 noon and I couldn't wait. I took the Quai Branly road towards the Rue Jean Rey street to grab lunch at Le Fils du Boulanger. It's important to note that at this point, you could still see the Eiffel Tower from different angles. It felt like a statue hovering over the entire area in a good way.
At this point, I consulted my map again to pick where to go next. I can't exactly remember where I wanted to head to but I went back to the Bir – Hakeim train station and it was locked. I was so pissed. At this point, I had started to move around in circles. I needed to explore one last attraction before it got dark.
Take pictures at the Chateau De Versailles
But then three words came to my head: Chateau De Versailles. Since it wasn't located in the Paris City Centre, I needed to take a different train entirely. I found my way and I was in Versailles in about 30 minutes or thereabout.
The first thing I noticed when I disembarked from the Versailles Chateau Rive – Gauche train station was the vibes. There was something different about that district. I can't exactly pinpoint what it was but it felt like royalty. This just meant that I was in for a treat! But before I continued my walk, I had to stop by the only KFC outlet I had seen throughout my trip to grab some hot wings and ice cream. Then I proceeded to find the Palace de Versailles as fast as possible which wasn't so far away.
Walking through the Avenue de Paris, you could see the Chateau De Versailles from afar. But before you got there, you had to pass through the statute of King Louis XIV and security. As with everything in Paris, getting through the gates of the Palace de Versailles required tickets. If you didn't have, the front of the gates was your last stop.
The first thing I thought when I saw how majestic and grandeur the structures were, was that they looked like the gates of heaven. Literally. I took it all in even though it was raining and as always did not forget to take as many pictures as possible.
Climb the Tour Montparnasse
To end the day, I took another train from Gare De Versailles Chateau Rive Gauche and found myself at Gare Montparnasse to look for the famous Tour Montparnasse tower which is supposed to be the highest point in Paris.
At this point, I was exhausted and ready to call it a day.
Day 2 in Paris
When I got home the previous day, I decided to appraise my day to determine the important attractions I needed to squeeze in on my second day in Paris. Turns out, I still had quite a number of important places I needed to go. But this meant that I was gonna save the cathedrals and churches for another trip.
Excite your inner child at Disneyland
The first place I needed to go in my second day was Disneyland. It was located by the outskirts of Paris which was about an hour away by the RER train. As always I woke up bright and early to begin my hour long journey to Disneyland. To be honest, it was so long and easily the farthest I've been outside the airport. But when the train finally stopped at Chessy, it suddenly made the long commute worth it.
Disneyland felt magical. I felt the magic about the park in my veins. It felt how Disneyland was supposed to feel and I wasn't disappointed. Thankfully the weather was bright and sunny so I took gorgeous portraits and landscape pictures. As much as I wanted to spend the entire day there, I couldn't because I still had the rest of my itinerary to cover. Regardless, I walked from the Walt Disney Studios to the Disneyland Park Resort before exploring the rest of the Disney Village. As always, I stopped by the Disney Store to get a fridge magnet and then walked a bit further to get some ice-cream. I did all of these while being super conscious of the time. When I was finally ready to leave, I was pleased with my visit.
Visit the Louvre Museum & Pyramid
Next up was the Louvre Museum. I absolutely could not leave Paris without visiting the Louvre Pyramid. This was the first attraction asides Disneyland that was buzzing with visitors. I honestly did not expect the crowd I saw. But it wasn't so bad because that way, I could find some Asians to take some great pictures of me. Again, while being time conscious, I couldn't go into the Louvre Museum which means that I'm not even sure it was free but it was good to visit.
Climb the Arc De Triomphe
At this point, I just decided to touch down at as many places as possible and just take pictures to show that I was there. Next was the Arc De Triomphe. While it would have been nice to climb the actual monumental structure, I was fine with looking at it from afar and wondering how gorgeous it would be at night. For the first time, I actually saw people at the top of the Arc and kept wondering how they got there. Lol.
(Window) Shop at Champs-Élysées
Turns out, one of the roads that leads to and from the Arc De Triomphe is the famous Champs-Élysées Avenue. Is your brand a global brand if you don't have an outlet at Champs-Élysées? As I walked down that avenue, I enjoyed seeing all the popular designer brands buzzing with customers flocking in and out.
I didn't even know how far the avenue was, I just kept walking until I got to the one and only Louis Vuitton outlet! What?!! I've never actually seen a queue at a designer brand face to face. The queue at Louis Vuitton was revealing, to say the least. I used my phone to zoom in to see the actual number of people waiting outside the building rather crossing over. All in all, it was a good experience.
Pay homage to the Notre Dame Cathedral
To wrap this amazing trip up, I quickly found my way to the Notre Dame Cathedral so see what was left and how far the reconstruction was going. This was easily the most heartbreaking part of my trip. As I walked around the building to watch the exhibition displayed on the walls, I felt my chest tighten by the destruction and loss of important artefacts. But thankfully and Paris being Paris, the renovation has begun and I can't wait to see the result when I return back to Paris.
I spent a while at the Notre Dame Cathedral even though it was sad to watch but I eventually left and watched the sun set at the Pont St. Louis bridge.
Visiting Paris was such an unforgettable experience for me and I'm so glad it was able to kick off my European tour.

Your home is where you should feel comfortable and relaxed so keeping it clean and tidy should be a top priority. But let's face it cleaning the house is probably one of your least favourite things to do. So how do you motivate yourself to keep up with your household chores? Here are some easy tips to follow for keeping a home clean and organised.
- Cleaning doesn't have to take up too much of your time.Just 15 minutes a day is enough. Start with the kitchen, then the bathroom. These are two zones that collect the most bacteria and should always be clean and sanitary.
- If daily cleaning sounds too much to handle, clean one room at a time over the course of a week.
Go through each room and make a checklist of what you need to accomplish, and that way you can systematically check off each room and when it is finished.
- Wipe down surfaces after each use.
It takes only a few seconds to wipe down the area you've just used, and it stays clean and disinfected, ready to be used again. Most importantly, if you let grease and grime build up over time, it's almost impossible to restore it to its original condition.
- Always start cleaning the rooms from top to bottom.
Or you will get the bottom dirty while you clean the top. Start with one corner and go round to ensure that you won't miss anything.
- Baking powder is a great way to clean your carpet.
Sprinkle the powder liberally over the carpet and leave the powder for at least 30 minutes or overnight, depending on the type of stains. Then vacuum up the powder when you are done.
- Never leave dirty dishes in the sink and throw the trash out every morning.
Always clean the dishes before you go to bed and before you leave the house, empty your trash before work daily. In addition, never go to bed with a dirty kitchen. Even if you can't get to the dishes right after a meal, make sure the kitchen is clean before bedtime to prevent unwanted "guests" from showing up uninvited.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help.
If you and your partner are juggling a busy schedule, think about getting outside help to keep you home looking and feeling clean. There are so many affordable one-off home cleaning services available now, and all you have to do is click a few buttons on a website to book a cleaner in no time at all. You can use this for days when you are busy with other commitments or when it is time to give your home a thorough spring clean.
