Meredith Mentors Alumnae Spotlight: Kiran Subramaniam, '11
Kiran Subramaniam, '11, is a writer and filmmaker currently living in Los Angeles, Calif. Raised in Cary, N.C., she knew early on that she had a passion for storytelling and sought to explore it as much as possible. Kiran saw that while she adored film, books, and theater, she hardly saw any South Asian representation. She never saw herself or her background in any of the art she consumed, unless it was a harsh stereotype that the world deemed fitting. To combat this issue, Kiran started to create her own content to show the nuances in the Indian-American experience. After graduating Meredith College with degrees in English and Theatre, she moved to Los Angeles and found work as an assistant at a literary management company, followed by jobs at a big talent and literary agency, and later at Steve Carell's development company. Kiran also began taking acting, sketch writing, and improvisation classes, and started her love-hate affair with Beverly Hills' cupcake ATM. She worked as a showrunner's assistant for OWN's David Makes Man, and most recently HBO Max's Americanah. Her work has been recognized by the Sundance Institute and various competitions. She finished shooting the pilot of her web-series, aptly called What's Her Deal?, and is currently taking meetings as a writer for television.
Meredith Mentors: How do you think your Meredith experience prepared you for life beyond the back gate? Either in your career, graduate or professional school, etc.
I never thought I would attend an all-women's institution. I always thought I'd go to a bigger school like what you see on TV and in movies. After touring bigger schools, I knew it was too much for me. Meredith College prepared me for post-graduation by giving me the confidence I have and enabling me to stick to my opinions and fight for what I want. If I were an 18-year-old in a co-ed environment, I don't know if I would raise my hand and ask questions due to possible stigmas of being a woman. Meredith's professors also helped prepare me for life after college. They believed in me and pushed me to pursue my dreams.
MM: What do you think are the secrets behind getting to where you are in both your professional and personal life?
My secret is truly being myself. Know who you are, and what your core values and ethics are. Tell your story, because we all have something to contribute to the conversation. Use your personal gift! Another secret is to take everything you can out of every experience. Life is beautiful and fun, but hard; not everything is a straight path. If things don't turn out how you want, have a good attitude about it, learn from it, and keep pushing yourself to go farther.
MM: How did you end up in your current role?
My first job after graduating from Meredith was an assistant to a literary manager. I put in the work and used what I gained from the many jobs I held throughout the years. However, it wasn't just about the previous jobs I held, it was about the people I met through those jobs that helped me the most. My colleagues were always willing to pass my information on to "someone they knew". Through lots of hard work, patience, and support from my peers, I eventually had the opportunity to work on shows for HBO, and even work for Steve Carell.
MM: Do you recommend any pre-professional experiences, such as internships, study abroad, etc.?
If possible, be an intern, for two reasons:
You never know who they know
You get the opportunity to see a post-college world
Internships are a good way to gently lead into the workforce. They get your foot in the door, and if the company is looking to hire, they are familiar and have a relationship with you. If an internship isn't possible, reach out to someone in your field or area of interest to get a coffee or have a conversation to build that relationship.
MM: What do you love most about your job? What excites you about starting a new day?
My favorite experience while on the job was when I worked on the HBO show, Americanah. The boss of that show was Danai Gurira, and everyone there was a woman. I love making art that moves people and represents all people of all backgrounds. It is very rewarding to tell stories that are real, compelling, and make a difference; they help bring people together. Years ago, I would never have had a shot doing what I do, but now as an Indian-American woman, I can do what I love.

Hi, I'm Jess!
If you walked into my home I would pour you a cup of coffee and have you sit at our kitchen table.
We would talk and get to know each other and share about our relationship with Jesus and the amazing ways He has showed Himself faithful.
And then we would get interrupted about a hundred times by my kids.
Check out the blog
My prayer is that you leave more inspired than when you arrived. I pray that you find an article that speaks to you, speaks to your heart and that it encourages your walk and journey with Jesus.
Hi friend! I'm so glad you're here...
A little bit about me…
I'm a stay at home mom living in northern Virginia with my husband Mikael, and our three kids, Skylar, Erik & Evelyn. I love Jesus, coffee, family & friends.
I spend a lot of my time studying the Word of God, praying, listening to sermons, and reading inspired books. One of my favorite things is to read the Bible and pray for God to reveal the secrets within; it's a prayer He loves to answer!
I'm a follower of Jesus and that is at the heart and center of everything that I write about. I pray that my life is a living testimony to His saving grace and that you leave here filled with His comfort and strength.
Mikael and I were married in 2016...
and moved the same weekend from Minnesota to Virginia! So our marriage has had quite a few twists and turns from the very beginning.
We love to travel, find adventures near our home, visit breweries and wineries, and hang out at the house with our little family.
While we miss our MN people, we love living in VA and making new friends here too. The nicer winters are a definite bonus.
I would love to connect with you...
and hear your story! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or sign up to receive updates on new blog posts.
I'm on Instagram and Pinterest too, let's be friends!
And if you're ever looking for a little extra encouragement in your Instagram feed, check out my business Instagram @hallstromheartandhome.

I was a satisfied customer of Tata Indicom till I came to Bangalore. I wanted to take a new postpaid connection with Tata indicom and paid a visit to the nearest "Tata Indicom True Value Hub".
The 'Hub' was crowded and I quickly collected my token. The representative asked for my documents. I gave him my rental agreement copy to along with my pan card copy to him. He said he won't accept rental agreements as the proof of residence. I challenged him by saying that the agreement is written on stamp paper which happen to be from the Government of Karnataka. So if he doesn't accept it, it's like he doesn't accept the validity of the Government of Karnataka. My explanation doesn't seem to help. I tried in layman terms. "My friend….. if I can give almost a lakh rupees to my house owner and the only thing which I can use to get it back is this sheet of paper, why don't you accept that this paper is indeed valid"
This didn't seem to convince him either.
The manager of the store happened to hear it and he intervened. He told me that according to TRAI act, the rental agreement has to be sealed by the Notary. I still don't get it. May be I am bit ignorant on the changing rules, as far as I can remember you only need to give your rent receipt or rental agreement as proof of your temporary residence.
And still they won't activate your postpaid account until they confirm your address!!!!!

Let's speak honestly here, social distancing is hard to exercise and it is not enjoyable. None of these preventive and protective measures are and if any of us were asked, we would say yes to clicking our fingers and making this entire thing go away, but we cannot. When we consider the more extreme steps of lockdown however, social distancing is not actually that bad.
The reality is, that whilst it may not be much fun, it is social distancing which is enabling us to go out and about, and not be locked down, these are some further reasons why we should maintain social distancing when we are out.
Protect The Vulnerable
One key reason as to why we practice this is that there are many people in society who are still very vulnerable and in staying away from people we can slow the spread of the virus. This means that we can encourage some people to come outside who perhaps previously didn't want to, because they can be safe in the knowledge that they will be looked after, or at least as best as possible. We have seen many in the medical community like Lisa Cannon MD who have been urging people to take extra care when they are out and about, and to ensure that social distancing is something that we all make sure to follow.
Basic Science
There are still some discussions around whether or not masks do a good enough job in protecting us or in slowing the virus. One thing which cannot be disputed however is the dangers with regards to social distancing. We know that this is a virus which is passed from person to person through droplets in the air from our breath. This air droplets don't hang around forever, and eventually they disperse. If you breathe then these will disperse at around half a meter, a cough or a sneeze will catapult them through the air to around 2 meters, this is why we stay a safe distance away from one another.
Winter Is Coming
For many in the west, winter is just around the corner and that means that many more people will have an increased risk of infection. We already seen the influenza death figures rise throughout the winter and with a virus to contend with too, this could make it a very challenging winter indeed. For this reason we all have to do as much as we can to ensure that the vulnerable in our society are looked after, but beyond that we have to ensure that we are all at our best too. Getting the virus isn't just about the possibility of death, it is also about the fact that it can cause a lot of damage to people, who are not considered to be in a vulnerable category.
For the sake of just moving away from people when we are at, there is no reason why we shouldn't all be practicing social distancing to prevent the further rapid spread of this virus.

Good news for tea drinkers: Sugarless, additive-free, no-fuss instant tea
Since launching last year, Cusa Tea has seen rapid expansion. The Boulder startup's owner dishes why his instant tea is so popular.
Get access to everything we publish when you sign up for Outside+.
What's happened to Jim Lamancusa is every startup owner's dream. Since launching Cusa Tea in May 2017, the company has rapidly expanded distribution of premium instant tea packets to more than 750 retail locations in the natural grocery, conventional grocery and outdoor industries, from REI to Safeway Denver to Sprouts nationwide starting Aug. 1.
Lamancusa's love for tea budded during his time in Asia—first as a study abroad student in Hong Kong, then as a resident in Thailand and Nepal. When he returned to America, coffee didn't sit well in his stomach anymore and he swapped the caffeinated culprit for tea. Now, he sources his ingredients from a tea farm in the southeast region of China, nestled in rolling hills speckled with lakes, nearly an hour from any major highway.
We caught up with Lamancusa last week to hear more about the science behind his product, his mission to beat the stereotype that "instant" means low quality, and how he's managed to grow immensely by selling packets of sugarless tea for about $1 per serving.
Tell us how your tea is different from other instant teas, such as Lipton or Nestea.
Jim Lamancusa: When I started, I tried three different methods to make the tea instant and none of them worked. I tried the same method that Starbucks uses for Via. Then I tried the two traditional methods of dehydration called Spray Drying and Freeze Drying, which are high heat or extreme cold dehydration. The problem with both of these methods is that they damage the sensitive tea leaves and destroy the flavor, aroma and antioxidants. I was hoping that if I used a better quality of tea, maybe it'll taste better. But no matter what tea I used, high heat or extreme cold dehydration damaged the leaves and made it taste bland. I thought that I wasn't going to have a company at that stage.
The breakthrough came when I saw my wife putting on rose extract eye cream, made with rose extract. I wondered, how are they getting a rose petal into a cream? I reached out to two botanical extra technology facilities in Asia and asked if they could do it for tea. They said they'd never done it before, but they'd try. I flew 75 pounds of loose leaf tea to Asia and spent two weeks there. Through several modifications, we found that the process worked:
- First, we cold brew the tea for eight hours and then strain out the leaves, so we're left with liquid tea.
- Then we fill a machine called vacuum dehydrator halfway up with tea. The air above it we turn into zero percent humidity—which rapidly evaporates the water into the air above it.
- By the end of a couple hours, the tea has lost all its water but nothing else. At the bottom of the machine is this sheet of crystalized tea that we run through a grinder to make into a powder. The tea leaves are then composted and become soil at the tea farm.
- We package it immediately so it never sees humidity again until the customer opens it and adds hot or cold water.
- It rehydrates in three seconds, and is never going to over-steep. You get a perfectly brewed cup every time. You don't need to have boiling water, wait five minutes for the tea to steep, then wait another five minutes for the water to cool down so you can drink it, or need to look for a place to discard your wet, soggy tea bag. It keeps all the flavor and benefits of tea, but makes it incredibly convenient and delicious.
Why do you think you've expanded so fast? And as a small team, how are you handling that?
JL: I expanded really quickly because I have worked in all of these industries before—food service, outdoor, and grocery industries. Because of my contacts, I'm definitely a step up than someone coming off the couch with a good idea. What's been really cool is that I've never been told no by a buyer. There's no doubt my product is in demand. The challenge is just the awareness because the term "instant" doesn't usually mean quality. It's a lot of sampling and tasting and awareness driving. The more times I can get people to taste this, there's this lightbulb moment, like, that's seriously instant?
To handle growth, I've had to turn down three retailers because I don't want to continue to expand distribution without gaining velocity first. If there are retailers outside the Rocky Mountains and California, it's got to be a perfect fit for me to say yes. I wouldn't go into Safeway nationwide right now because it wouldn't sell. There have been less reorders on the East Coast. Part of it is me being based in Colorado. If we're not in those stores doing demos, it's just going to sit on the shelves. I want to build my castle, have a good foundation, and then expand.
How do you manage expansion into mainstream markets and still focus on the outdoor community?
JL: The idea for the brand was built in the backcountry, but the more I develop the business, I realize more that this isn't just an outdoor product. We're all so busy and doing different things, more than just being outside. There's no question that I'm really comfortable being in REI nationwide. They get it. But we're also hitting consumers that shop in all the different stores, who are looking at ingredient labels and who want to reduce their sugar intake. Sometimes people get really focused on the outdoor industry as hardcore and there are those consumers, but when I look at the actual customers, not many of them are like that. The whole industry is adapting and it needs to continue to adapt. The want active lifestyle and what that means is they're looking at what they're putting in their body. They may never hike a 14,000-foot peak. But they may like to hike, or do yoga or ride their bike.

What was the name of David's second son, Chileab or Daniel?
Posted on Jun.03, 2009. Filed in 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles. Average rating: 2.0 / 10 (Rate It).
Both 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles list the six sons of David born to him in Hebron. The two lists are in perfect agreement, except concerning the name of the second son, who was born to Abigail.
In 2 Samuel, the name of the second son is given as Chileab:
Sons were born to David at Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel; his second, Chileab, of Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; the third, Absalom son of Maacah, daughter of King Talmai of Geshur; the fourth, Adonijah son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah son of Abital; and the sixth, Ithream, of David's wife Eglah. These were born to David in Hebron. [2 Samuel 3:2-5]
According to 1 Chronicles, though, the second son's name was Daniel:
These are the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelite; the second, Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelite; the third Absalom, son of Maacah, daughter of King Talmai of Geshur; the fourth Adonijah, son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah, by Abital; the sixth Ithream, by his wife Eglah; six were born to him in Hebron, where he reigned for seven years and six months. [1 Chronicles 3:1-4a]
So what was the name of David's second son, Chileab or Daniel?

Most commentators simply assume that Chileab and Daniel are the same person.
The medieval Rabbi Rashi commented that the God made the son of Abigail look very much like David to still suspicions that the child was the son of Abigail's recently dead husband Nabal. The name "Chileab" means "Like his father". So the idea is that the child's birth name was Daniel, but he was later called Chileab.
The online ISBE offers the more prosaic story that the Samuel manuscript is corrupt (this is based on comparison with the Septuagint which renders Chileab as Dalouia — "restraint of the father"). Copy errors and manuscript damage do not weigh against the doctrine of inerrancy.
Either way, it does not seem to be much of a stretch to say that "Chileab" and "Daniel" refer to the same person.

Researchers Learn What Sparks Plant Growth
Posted on March 17, 2007 Comments (3)
Researchers Learn What Sparks Plant Growth:
"It's been a matter of some debate for a very long time if one of these tissue layers controls plant growth or if all three layers have to work together," Chory said. "Our paper shows very clearly that the epidermis is in control—in both driving and restricting growth. In addition, our studies show that the cells in the epidermis "talk" to the cells in the inner layers, communicating that they too should expand."
In January we had a long stretch of warm weather. Shoots for early blooming flowers sprouted in my front yard. Then we had about 6 weeks of winter weather. I was wondering how the flowers would do (they do fine with a few days of freezing weather after sprouting – since they have evolved to bloom early). They did fine, photo above (by John Hunter, March 11th).

The Q Acoustics Concept 300 Speakers are very special.
By Steve Huff
My video look at the Q Acoustic C300's!
A short while ago I received an email from Q Acoustics asking me if I wanted to review their flagship bookshelf speaker, called the C300. I was aware of the brand, and have seen others speak of these Q300's and the larger tower C500's (all in a glowing way). I was thrilled to be able to check them out even though my (main) new music room will not be finished until 2021.
With that said, I do have a nice temporary space for my HiFi and in this space I have a Naim Atom and Nova, with 2-3 sets of bookshelf speakers I alternate between (Dynaudio S40, Wharfedale Denton, B&W 705 s2) for comparison and review purposes. When my main room is done I will decide what stays and what goes. For now, I have been enjoying these "do it all wonders" Naim pieces with some lower end and mid end speakers ranging from $500 to $3000. These Q300's come in at $4,199 with stands so they are priced above what I have here currently. Will they outperform them?
The C300's, in images I have seen, looked quite nice but in those images the (IMO) mandatory Tensegrity Tripod Stands, well, I was not so sure about. The looks are different indeed. Looking like a flimsy metal tripod of sorts (in images) they did not appear to be the most sturdy things but when I researched the stands I understood more about why they were designed as they are. They are part of the system and this speaker system is basically free of colorations from the box or vibrations from the stand due to the way the speaker cabinet is constructed and the way the stands interact with the speakers themselves.
When you have a speaker and stand system like this, that is free of vibrations and colorations you will easily hear the difference instantly when compared to other speakers. It's why these sound so "quiet" and "clean" and very spacious. There are no vibrations to alter the sound as it emits from the speakers. CLEAN is a word I kept saying again and again. This told me right there that Q acoustics were onto something with their stand and speaker design.
In the flesh, the stands have beautiful construction and never do you feel anything was skimped on, and yes they are sturdy. The spikes even have rubber coverings if being used on a wood or hard floor and this was a nice touch. It's odd but Q Acoustics is a company known for their affordable speakers, and here they truly showed what they could do with a true statement bookshelf speaker. The good news for us, the consumer, is that this Q Acoustics flagship costs so much less than many other audio companies flagship while keeping the quality and sound traits of many of those uber high dollar boxes intact. I am talking companies like Focal, Magico, Wilson and the like which are all upper echelon in their designs and prices, way above Q acoustics in cost yet these C300's offer a lot of what these companies offer for much much less. These are truly world class speakers here my friends yet they are attainable.
An early spoiler…Even with the little Naim Atom powering these seemingly power hungry speakers (84 Db) there is no issue driving them loudly, cleanly and to mind numbing levels. The beauty of the Q300's is the fact that there are really no colorations from cabinet and stand, therefore when you hear what they put out you will hear total transparency, a quietness, a calm, a smoothness and one of the biggest most wide open soundstage's you could ask for. Again, CLEAN. PURE. MUSIC yet with a richness and slight touch of warmth that brings the human and emotional element into play.
These are imaging and soundstage champs, some of the best I have heard in this regard and quite the opposite to the JBL L82's I reviewed last time. Where the JBL's were big, loud, direct and just pumped out loud enjoyable heart thumping music, the Q Acoustic C300's are much more refined, open, airy and they really do let you see and hear deep inside of the music.
These speakers have a unique spring base as well, that is designed to absorb any vibrations. This double whammy (stands and speaker base) ensure you get nothing but clean pure sound from the speakers.
The base of each speaker is spring loaded so too speak. When attached to the stands, each work in unison to control nasty vibrations and colorations. It's genius.
When the C300's arrived I unbowed the stands first and was happy to see that they were fully assembled. So no need to figure out how to put this strange looking set of sticks together. In fact, when I took them out the quality was much higher than I anticipated. Very nice, solid and when I attached the speakers to the stands with the supplied screws I was now starting to understand just how these kill those pesky vibrations. It is a genius concept really, and I am surprised more companies have not done something similar.
It's a pretty nice system and I would say to anyone thinking of these speakers to 100% buy the stands for them, as they were designed as part of this system. They will sound their absolute best with the stands. I know as I tried putting them on some other stands I have that are quite nice ($1200 stands) and they lost some of the magic. So before I even start to dig into these speakers I will say if you consider these, buy the stands with them as it will bring you the best of the C300's.
The Design
When I unboxed these beauties I was very pleased with the design. They are very deep cabinets, with a high gloss finish of silver and ebony. Yes these are MDF but so are 90% of speakers made today as their is no downside to using MDF. Rather, most companies today praise MDF over real wood for cabinets due to the way wood can effect the sound. Sounds like a bunch of nonsense really but I can not argue with results, reality and the fact that these C300's sound absolutely beautiful and even better than some real wood cabinet speakers I have owned.
There are three colors to choose from here. These also come in a white and a black with rosewood but the silver and ebony are very nice. If I were choosing I would most likely go with black and rosewood but the silver and ebony would be my 2nd choice for sure. The speakers have a nice weight to them, and look like a very classy, very pricey set of speakers. The front baffle is curved and not only does this separate the style from others it has a purpose. The curve also helps these speakers to have such an amazing soundstage and precise imaging performance. It's about sending that information into the room in the proper and most pleasing way.
Looks wise, these are modern beauties. Very classy, very unique. Not for everyone of course but in person these are even better looking than they are in photos.
The speakers do have bracing inside, and polyurethane elastomer sandwiched in actual LAYERS inside of the speaker. If you cut one open it would look like a fancy slice of cake with layers separated by this gel. All of this care taken in the build and design ensure these speakers present music in a very holographic way. Music does seem to float all around the speakers rather than coming from the speakers. It's surreal with some recordings. Even more so than with other speakers that also excel at this.
The Sound
This is yet another area where the C300's truly shine, and I will just state now that these are very pleasing bookshelf speakers, some of the most pleasing I have heard in 2020, large or small, cheap or expensive. They beat out the B&W 705 S2, they beat out the JBL L82 and other speakers I have had in my room for 2020 when it comes to sounding like a more expensive pair of speakers. They are also the most refined of the above mentioned speakers. At the price they come in at, with stands, these are truly special sounding (and looking) speakers. Nothing feels cheap or skimped out on, I have to say this as some may be wondering about the build, and the solidity of the speaker on the stands. These are solid. These have a seductive type of wide open sound and while the bass is not very impactful, these are for those who value transparency above all else.
The Mighty Atom
I first hooked them up to the little Naim Atom and was shocked at how well the little magic box Atom drove them. I did feel like the bass was a tad lacking but wasn't sure if it was the amp power or speaker. When I swapped in the almost double the power Naim Nova I heard these speakers go up the sound ladder further. The Nova is such a beautiful piece, and if you read my review HERE from a while back, I even compared it favorable to a $26,000 integrated. The Nova was 95% there and at $6000 including DAC, Streamer and gorgeous display it is one of the best purchases any HiFi enthusiast could make. I still say this today and use the Nova daily. It gives up nothing to much more expensive audio integrated amplifiers. Heck, I'd argue it offers more than most uber pricey integrated amps.
The binding posts are high quality as well, and are bi-wireable. The holes above the binding posts are where you can place a jumper (included in the box) to change the liveliness of the tweeter. You can take it down, keep it neutral or ramp it up depending on your room and tastes. In a lively room, remove the jumper and enjoy silky smooth treble response. In a room that leans dark due to having carpet and loads of furniture you can add in the jumper to enhance the sparkle. This is something I normally see only on VERY expensive speakers.
Hooking Them Up
I hooked it all up with some Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cables. Once I set the speakers up with the tweeters aimed almost to my ear with some slight toe in, I sat down and was in awe in what I heard. This happens often, yes…but not usually at this price point. When I review speakers in the $3k range and love them, I love them for what they deliver in their price range and slightly above. In this case, what I am hearing from the Q300 with the Naim Nova goes above and beyond most $3-4k speakers I have heard in the past. I hear the following from the Nova and C300 Combo in my room.
- Super transparency allowing me to hear deep into the music. These are more transparent than the Dynaudio S40's and other speakers I have recently reviewed, though not as weighty nor do they have the OOMPH of those speakers. This means it's like the music is just there, hanging in the air and I can literally see where every voice and instrument would be. They make the S40's sound a tad compressed in direct comparison. Crazy as the S40's are no slouch but the C300's literally have no compression, they are so wide open in their presentation. They just sound so good, so addicting and yet nothing in particular stands out about the sound. They are complete. The 705 S2's sound a little plump and tipped up by comparison, like they have a smiley face EQ attached. The C300's are so natural and flowing when compared side by side.
- So clean yet so smooth. Not smooth as in hiding details, not at all. There is plenty of detail on tap but they are also smooth and give off a very comporting sound. Pleasing, and one you would never fatigue from but at the same time one you would not find lacking in details. It's crazy really how good these are. They are not warm, or cold…more neutral with a hint of warmth injected (which is so much nicer than having a cool vibe). Details and clearly defined instruments and voice for days yet without fatigue.
- Bid deep and wide soundstage. The instruments have that decay that hang in the air with really good recordings. You feel as if the music is way beyond the speakers. Almost as these speakers can reproduce the reverb in the studio or hall where the music was recorded. I have had this happen once before with the original Guarneri Homage speakers by Sonus Faber. Those speakers are true instruments, and these C300's remind me a lot of those original Guarneri's but with more bass. The imaging and soundstage do seem a bit exaggerated though, with the Naim powering them.
- Imaging is spot on. In fact, when listening I wrote down (these image like $10-$20k speakers) and they also look the part.
- The midrange is very pure sounding and voices sound very nice. Never congested, nor bloated. Instead they are clean, clear and have a beautiful way of projecting in the dead center of the image. They will not give a big chesty vocal unless called upon to do so but will instead portray them as realistic as possible. This means guys like Johnny Cash will sound big, bold and chesty but guys like Michael Buble will sound smooth, liquid and rich. Again, it seems these are going for a more neutral way of presenting the music, and some would say a proper way of reproducing the music.
- One downside is that at low volume these are not at their best. They sound great but lose some body as you go lower on the dial. I'm talking low volume as in, running it at 1AM while everyone else is sleeping. Something like the Klipsch Heresy IV do very well at low volume but more speakers these days than not are not at their best when you have to listen low. Even so, I did listen at 2am one night, and with the Nova set to 30 on the dial that sounded stunning, and it was still low enough not to wake Debby in the other room. So while not the best for low volume, they are better than some of others in this area. Still not low volume champs.
The Naim Nova powers these speakers in a way that makes it appear they were made for each other. Bass lines are so tight and clean, and boy do I mean TIGHT. Treble is JUST right.
The most amazing thing about this is that while we hear details, have precise imaging and a wide and deep soundstage these are not speakers you will find lacking in musicality. The tweeter is kind of "soft" sounding so no huge dynamic high end, more of a smooth operator.
Listening to "Spinning Song" from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (from GHOSTEEN) I was brought into a surreal world where sounds were spinning all around the room. Then Nick's voice came out as if he was standing right there in the center of the room. Spooky. Leonard Cohen? These C300's do justice to his voice and musical style bringing him to your space for a private show.
The sound is very cohesive. Noting sticks out. With some speakers you will notice the treble more than anything else. Some you will hear boomy bass. Others will have a thin sound. The Q300's somehow are very polite, and sound very well behaved and complete. With that said, I do feel like the C300's could have a touch more "oomph" in the mids. Just a touch. The B&W 705 S2's do have this heftier midrange but are not as good as the C300's in the imaging and space dept. Both are amazing speakers for the money but one should pick depending on their preferences. These two speakers are around the same cost when you factor in stands for the B&W (and never skimp in stands otherwise you are crippling your speakers). I can say that in person, the C300's make the 705 S2 look like a cheaper speaker. The C300's are gorgeous and so well made they again, seem more like $10k speakers in the design and build dept. No cheap binding posts, etc.
These C300's even have superb dynamics and volume capability. These suckers can play LOUD while staying clean. I feel it's due to the cabinet construction and stand performance.
The Competition
In this price range we have a lot to choose from. I have not heard every speaker in the $4,000 price bracket but I have heard a lot and many way above this price point. While Q Acoustics may not be super well known my the masses, I can tell you they are quality. From the way they package each speaker (these will not get damaged in shipping, and I can not say this for many other manufacturers who skimp in this area) to the way they designed the stands to the way the speaker cabinet is so solid, so free of colorations and bring loaded. Most of all, the sound quality is just sublime and they have the ability for almost any amp to drive them and sound superb.
I threw on a Musical Fidelity M3i that cost me $800 and they sounded great with that amp as well. They lost a little of their delicacy and sweetness that that Naim brings but no matter what I hooked up to these they retained the sound signature. The better the amp, the better these will sound but they never sounded bad for me, no matter what I ran them with : ) The Musical Fidelity brought out some serious OOMPH with a lessening of the finesse, the delicacy and spaciousness. Even so, the M3i could rock and roll.
I love the Dynaudio Special 40 but they are thicker and meatier sounding, which some may prefer. Audio is after all, a personal thing. These C300's have an airy quality about them and completely disappear when you play music through them. Remember, just because something is insanely expensive doesn't always make it better. Sometimes you can pay less and get more, and these are the kind of products I love above all else.
A friend asked me…"what would you prefer, the $4200 C300's or the $3000 Klipsch Heresy IV". My answer was "THAT IS A TOUGH ONE" as they are such different speakers. At the end of the day though, I would maybe take the C300's because the sound is more refined, transparent, clean, and 3 dimensional. They are constructed better and offer a more cohesive sound. They may not sound as "ALIVE" as the Klipsch but when you experience the sheer musicality of these speakers you will find it hard to pull yourself away.
Then again, the Klipsch are such an easy drive, have dynamics for days, sound so LIVE and REAL and look like a classic 70s speaker. Something about them touches my heart and soul, and I love that. I love the Klipsch Heresy IV. I guess it would be a tough one but I'd lean to the C300, or maybe keep both and swap them from time to time to keep me from wanting something different. IN all reality, I could not sell my Heresy IV's. I love them too much. If I could own both I'd have the best of both worlds. The Klipsch, I can say that it is not made to the level of the C300 when it comes to construction. The Klipsch uses much cheaper binding posts, bracing, and the wood chips very easily. They sound amazing but the parts used are not up to the Q Acoustics.
Back to the C300's and listening…
Listening to Brandi Carlile's "Sugartooth" on the C300's I have never heard this song sound so good and I have listened to this song on all of my 2020 review systems and speakers. On most systems this song sounded a tad dark, closed in even, compressed with some digital glare showing itself at times. I love the music on this album but was never happy with the sound reproduction, no matter if I was listening on a $45k system or a $2000 system.
With the C300's it's crazy how it has opened up, how her voice is dead center and so full of energy and realism. Attack, dynamics, instruments everywhere that sound like the true instrument. Every instrument can be heard, clearly separated and showcased. None of the darkness I had with the B&W's or even Dynaudios is here. Strange. While it is not an audiophile recording by any means, it sounds lovely on the C300's.
The Cons?
I'm going to have to dig deep to find any faults here, and the main one is that they are not at their best when listening at really low volume levels, as I hinted at earlier. They like juice and to be played loud or louder that loud. When pushed they thrive and just get bigger and bigger sounding while still sounding clean and solid. But they can sound beautiful at a lower mid volume. It's not like they lose all life when turned down, they do NOT. It's just there have been other speakers that did the really low volume thing better and if I had to find a con, this is the best I could do.
For some the stands may be a bit odd looking when we think of speaker stands. While they do their part for the sound, some of you may feel they look odd. I think they are unique, and sort of cool looking. But some of you will prefer a standard stand type of appearance. Remember though, these speakers are DEEP. Much deeper than most bookshelf speakers so it needs a stand with a very big plate. Do not think you can just place these on any old cheap stand. The spring loaded base and depth mean you will need something substantial if going with traditional stands.
The bass could maybe be a bit more pronounced for some who have those tastes, but then again, I am afraid if it were pumped up some in the bass or mids it would take away from the gorgeous presentation these put out. When there is too much mid bass or bass in general, things can get boomy and muddy if nit done correctly. The C300's have beautiful tight and kicking bass when called upon, just do not expect overblown or hyped up bass (beats headphones style). They have less than Dynaudio and others but sound very clean and sweet at the same time.
I will say my couch rattled a bit when I turned up "High by the Beach" by Lana Del Ray so yes, these can bring authoritative bass if the track calls for it. ; ) The high end is detailed for sure but I wouldn't call these bright, again, neutral or leaning slightly soft at times. Rather I keep feeling "SMOOTH". These have plenty of bass, just some out there expect big boomy bass. These do not do that. (That's good but some of you will se it as a con).
How they Excel
These truly excel with vocals, jazz, acoustic music and even classical. While they also sound amazing with rock and metal I would say that if you mainly listen in those genres you may want a thicker sounding speaker with a more kicking mid bass. Even so, I had Metallica, Megadeth and KISS jamming loudly and loving it. It did offer up very spacious renderings of these recordings which means they sounded quite different than I am used to. Imagine audiophile Metal? Lol. You can hear this with the C300s when playing high res well recorded rock and metal tracks from Qobuz or Tidal.
Whatever it is, I love it and these speakers are indeed truly worthy of their asking price for all they deliver.
Burn In?
The manual states these will be at their best after 24 hours of use, and I found that to be spot on. No need to do the 300 hour thing as after about 18 hours or so the bass fleshed out, the layering started, the smooth yet detailed sound rounded out some and they just started sounding so room filling and so gorgeous. The first 18 hours had them sounding a tad thin and not as open. But when the bass started kicking in at 18 hours I knew they had opened up as the sound became bigger, wider, taller, smoother and had more substance.
With the beautiful design, rock solid construction, zero coloration, unique stands that improve the sound and ease of driving with any modern day amp these may be just what you have been looking for. If you dig the design, the look, the vibe…I'd recommend giving them a listen if you can.
This has been the very first Q Acoustics speaker I have heard, and it's one of the great perks of being a guy who reviews audio gear. I get to try a lot of cool stuff and sometimes something comes along that is quite special. I will put these up on that "special" shelf, as they did so well with whatever I threw at them. They offered me those audiophile sounds without being analytical or having my brain pick apart each sound. I just enjoyed the very musical presentation. They delivered each and every time I powered up the system. Nothing sounded bad, or offensive. Old music, new music, and yes even the dreaded poorly recorded 80's music. All sounded wonderful.
They may not be for everyone as some will prefer more bass, and more boogie (Try the C500's if you want more bass but you may miss out on some of the spaciousness these offer). Some will not like the stand designs but some will love them and when you realize what they do for the music you may wonder where they have been all your life. If you enjoy transparency in your music, then you may find what you have been looking for in the C300's from Q Acoustic.

The International Luxury Hotel Association spoke with Romy Bhojwani during the COVID-19 crisis to understand how the hotel industry is being affected and what strategies he is putting in place for the future.
He told us that business is being impacted across the board and 8 in 10 hotel rooms are empty. Roughly 15% of the hotels are shut down in the United States, while the others have significantly scaled back their operations to respond to this extreme low levels of demand. . The Midscale without F&B and Extended Stay segments have been impacted lesser than the other chain scales segments. The luxury sector has been impacted the most, and owners and operators have no real clarity on how long the situation will continue. In many cases, it just does not make sense to stay open given the large delta between carry costs during shutdown vs. operating costs when open.
Owners and operators agree that the risk is too great of having a contamination incident on property, and they do not want the public perception that they are not following executive orders to stay at home and social distance.
A hotel in Boston was hosting a biotech conference in late February, where some of the attendees who had been working in COVID-19 affected areas in China caused multiple infections including among staff and the virus infiltrated the HVAC system, causing the CDC to take over the site for clean-up purposes.
"If something like that had to happen the consequences are very severe from a reputation standpoint," said Romy. , "In certain cases, like large group hotels or hotels with heavy food and beverage operations, it is clear that a temporary shutdown is the only logical option."
A reopening timeline for these hotels can be determined only once there is clarity on the lifting of state and city executive orders, and there is data pointing to people beginning to travel again.
Recovery is dependent on the overall economy reopening, and consumer confidence around airlines and hotels implementing necessary protocols for safety and hygiene. Currently no one is traveling for business, a big driver for weekday occupancy, and there is very little leisure and no travel groups. Only once there is some clarity around the increased testing, number of new cases decreasing and executive orders being lifted, will we start to see some uptick, first with business travelers as they get back to projects, followed by regional leisure travel. A key factor of leisure and F&B demand will be the overall trend on employment figures.
What does this mean for group business?
Business is still getting done, small groups are working from home, conducting zoom and skype calls; large groups like conventions and conferences are mostly canceled through the end of the year. Group business will be the last segment to come back, and these larger hotels will have to fundamentally change their operating model on the other side of this crisis.
The second quarter of this year will be a washout, and we are starting to see cancellations for the third quarter and fourth quarter; if the data points to an upward trend in June we would expect to reopen in July, to take advantage of summer leisure travel. Recovery will be uneven based on location and type of hotel. Business transient hotels will come back first, drive to leisure hotels will be next. Convention hotels will take longer. As it relates to markets, on the West coast, most of the summer business will be transient driven Florida markets may take a little longer as those are generally lower occupancy months. Urban markets like New York, Boston, Washington DC will be impacted by lack of group business, but will likely see a strong rebound of business travel.
Meanwhile, some hotels are shoring up occupancy by working with healthcare, government segments. FEMA, the CDC, traveling nurse and doctor groups, the National Guard and other government agencies. We have steered clear of converting hotels to hospitals, as it is a much more complex operation with significant liability and insurance ramifications.
Government stimulus and the CAREs ACT
The CARES Act has been very helpful with SBA loans that different businesses can take advantage of. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will advance a business funds so that they can keep their staff on payroll and bring them back by June 30. As long as you spend the PPP funds on payroll, mortgage, rent and utilities, the loan amount spent over the first 8 weeks will be forgiven. If you think you are going to bring back all your employees by the end of June, it is a very good option to create liquidity in the operation via a partially forgivable loan. But even if you only bring back part of your workforce, it is still attractive as the interest is only 1%. It provides short-term cashflow relief at a low cost, to tide businesses over the next 60-90 days.
Employee engagement
We decided to mostly furlough employees vs. terminating them. so that they are still active employees but can also file for unemployment benefits. To encourage engagement, we do a virtual townhall with a GM state of the union update that tells them what is going on at the hotel and put out a positive message so that they feel connected to the property and will rejoin the hotel once the crisis is over. The cost of retraining a new staff member is so much higher than getting an original employee back so it really is important to keep them actively engaged with the hotel. The response has been great. Employees don't have access to their emails, but they can use their personal emails to stay connected to the hotel via group chats, online townhalls etc.
The future
The big question going forward is what does the future hold. This truly is an unprecedented event in our industry, and how we recover from this is going to be different compared to previous cycles. My view is that a crisis like this will fundamentally change how we operate for the foreseeable future. The operating model within hotels will have to shift to respond to new and different customer needs. For example: buffets will be minimized or eliminated, community workspaces and F&B options will have to be rethought, large group gatherings will essentially cease to exist until there is a vaccine, In-Room Dining will have to be retooled via higher standards of hygiene. The customer is going to be looking for operating practices that create confidence regarding safety and hygiene. Therefore, this is a good time to be planning, getting organized, putting new operating procedures in place, and picking a date to open that is flexible, with a timeline you can shift as needed based on data trends and leading indicators.
As an industry, we have not been through this level and pace of demand decline before, so we cannot fully compare this to at previous cycles. Even after 9/11, hotels were not shut down for an extended time, and in 2008 we never got to this extreme low level of occupancy so quickly. We must use this time to reimagine, rethink and remodel our operations, to not only respond to a different set of consumer needs, but also do it in a manner that is efficient and profitable, in a new "normal" post COVID-19.

The Cross-fit Master's
More students today are choosing options that allow them to earn MBAs and other advanced degrees faster and to build expertise jointly in business, STEM, law or other fields. What's behind this trend?
By Erik Gunn
Attracted originally to the study of journalism but worried that technological change might upend her job prospects, then-Marquette undergraduate Tyler Vicknair sought harbor in an alternative field of study: corporate communication.
"Corporate communication offered a more strategic and functional approach to communication," she says — a conceptual framework extending beyond, say, advertising or media. It proved to be the fit she was seeking, and after a few years, with graduation in view, she didn't want to stop.
So instead, she hit the fast-forward button. As her classmates from freshman year spent this spring wrapping up their senior years, Vicknair was already hard at work on a master's degree in corporate communication, thanks to a new accelerated degree program developed collaboratively by the Graduate School of Management and her undergraduate school, the Diederich College of Communication.
Thanks to a few 18-credit semesters instead of the typical 15, she received her bachelor's a semester early and has a number of graduate-level courses under her belt — including business courses such as International Human Resources and Global Marketing Strategies, where she studies alongside peers studying for their master's in business administration degrees. Still to come are similar business school courses in accounting, finance and economics.
The master's degree she expects to receive from the Graduate School of Management in December will deepen her expertise in communication and equip her with business knowledge that will make her more adept at navigating corporate landscapes.
Her master's degree, she believes, will enrich her value to her future employer in the business world — and not incidentally, help her press the accelerator again. "I want to move up faster in the organization," she says.
Launched last fall, the B.A.-M.A. in corporate communication program is
just the latest in a series of accelerated degree programs offered by the College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management. Some help students build upon an undergraduate major in a business subject such as applied economics with master's study in the same field, all in what would formerly have been considered record time. Many other programs involve collaboration across colleges — undergraduate study in a STEM subject combined efficiently with an MBA, for example, or an opportunity to simultaneously earn an MBA and a juris doctor degree from Marquette University Law School.
"What most of these students find out is that they are in a business. They may be very good at their technical skills they are using in their current position, but they need the business skills to really advance into strategic positions."
What's leaving a growing number of students hungry to learn more in less time — and often to cross-prepare in more than one field? Dr. Jeanne Simmons, Bus Ad '88, Grad '90, '97, associate dean of the Graduate School of Management, says the accelerated interdisciplinary programs meet a need that prospective professionals from many fields have to enrich their discipline with a deeper knowledge of business theory and practice. "Interdisciplinary study has been very important of late," says Simmons. One indicator is the number of people who enter the college's executive MBA program from other fields, often the sciences. "What most of these students find out is that they are in a business," Simmons says. "They may be very good at the technical skills they are using in their current position, but they need the business skills to really advance into strategic leadership positions. They say they wish they had gained these skills earlier in their careers rather than later in life." The accelerated degree programs seek to provide exactly those skills at the front end.
Combining an undergraduate or professional degree with an MBA actually goes back nearly three decades, to the combined MBA-J.D. program that Marquette's College of Business Administration and Law School launched in 1986. A subsequent program allowed law students to combine their degree with a master's in human resources. In each case, students save themselves a year of course work by applying courses from one degree to meet requirements of the other, and vice versa.
Lately accelerated degree programs involving undergraduates have become more plentiful, too. All enable qualified students in specific fields to enroll in their senior year in graduate-level courses that simultaneously fulfill undergraduate requirements and give them graduate- level credits. Then they can complete the master's program — an MBA or one of a few other allied master's degrees — as soon as one year after earning their bachelor's degree.
Simmons expects the traditional stand-alone MBA to remain the dominant paradigm for most Marquette GSM students; most forecasts are for the accelerated approach to remain boutique options. But the trend expands opportunities, while the availability of part-time schedules in all the programs "adds a little exibility" for people who work full time, says Simmons.
Craig Roush, Grad '12, Law '14, had been working for several years for a consumer goods manufacturer when he was assigned to the company's regulatory affairs department, charged with ensuring his employer's products met federal regulations from the Food and Drug Administration and other agencies. Intrigued by the details of regulatory law, he decided to go to law school and was immediately interested in Marquette's joint MBA-J.D. program.
While he assumed he would graduate and put his two degrees to work in a company, he wound up instead at the law firm Foley & Lardner in Milwaukee. Now a third-year associate, Roush, 34, works in mergers and acquisitions as well as in securities law.
Having the two degrees — along with his experience in business before law school — helps him view transactions simultaneously through a business client's eyes as well as the filter provided by his legal training. Plus, says Roush, he finds the training fulfills an objective he had from the start when he decided to go to law school: It helps him "distill complex legal principles into easy-to- digest information" that suits busy, efficiency- minded business people.
Graduates of other accelerated programs reap similar benefits from their abilities to bridge multiple worlds. Students with business majors round out their business education with high-level corporate communication courses, says Dr. Sarah Bonewits Feldner, associate dean for graduate studies and research at the Diederich College, a key partner in developing the new master's program. Similarly, communication students expect that higher- level business courses would better position them in the job market, including for financial communication functions not covered in undergraduate programs. "It's critical for people in corporate communication roles to be able to engage with investors," she says.
The upper-level degree also has an analytical focus typical of graduate education, she adds, which is increasingly important as the discipline takes on greater responsibility in executive roles such as chief communication officers or CCOs.
Prepared for such responsibilities as never before, Vicknair expects to return next year to her native Los Angeles to put her new master's degree to use in the corporate ranks. (Her graduate-level courses even opened up another business interest — in human resources.) One thing the accelerated degree program doesn't do, she says, is skimp. In the face of a few acquaintances who assume her program "must not require that many classes" because she'll be through it so quickly, Vicknair quickly sets them straight. "You're taking a lot of classes," she says. "And you're doing it nonstop."

The manager of the electricity network has just taken delivery of thirty or so 4×4 versions of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. A fleet for mountain interventions.
As manager of the French electricity network, Enedis is called upon to intervene on all terrains, even the most difficult ones. To carry out all its missions, the EDF subsidiary has a fleet of 18,000 vehicles consisting of company cars, vans, small and large vans. Access to the steepest areas requires elements with particular crossing and adherence qualities.
In particular, Enedis has chosen the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4×4 since 2002. A long-standing interest that continues with the new generation of which 33 units were delivered in 2019. About sixty must follow by the end of 2020. " Since the Sprinters of previous generations have been satisfied for almost twenty years, it seemed logical to continue with the new generation, and the market in terms of 4×4 vans in the PL version is limited. 'exploitation is between 1 and 1.2 tons which requires the transition from 3T5 to the PL version , " says Jean-Pierre Bouvet , referent vehicles and machinery at the headquarters of Enedis in La Defense (92).
For mountainous regions
The newcomers, 516 twin-wheeled vans animated by the block of 163 hp associated with an automatic transmission, are arranged by SD Services (shelves, lockers, drawers …). They are also equipped with a complete temporary signage (marking, flash sorting, beacon) and ladder gates (one of 6 and one of 8 meters).
"These units are located in mountainous regions, with winter conditions rather harsh and where access to the network is sometimes complicated due to weather conditions ," says Jean-Pierre Bouvet. " They are used for maintenance work on the distribution network. electricity, sometimes accompanied by a nacelle or an auxiliary crane, but also for repairs of the network 24/24 and 7 / 7j ".

My week in Spain
I spent my 10-day long fall break in Spain and I couldn't have asked for a better week. I flew from London to Madrid to meet up with a few friends who are studying in Madrid, then flew to Barcelona, then back to London. So, in one week, I took 3 plane rides. I was excited to spend my fall break in Spain not only to see my friends but to experience Spain's culture. Coming from a partially Hispanic background, I have grown up around Spanish (more specifically Puerto Rican culture) but I am by no means fluent. I can understand simple phrases, which after spending a week in Spain I am thankful for. Throughout the week I would message my mom asking what certain words were and how to say certain phrases (so shout out to my mom for being a lifesaver).
In Madrid, there were very few people who spoke English but the people were very nice. I enjoyed the feeling in Madrid- and I'm not talking about just the warm weather and sunshine. After studying in London, I could vaguely recall what the sun looked like which isn't very different from when I live in Chicago. Barcelona was different. It was beautiful but even fewer people spoke English than in Madrid. Although it was difficult at times, it was a great way to fully immerse myself. Upon arriving in Barcelona, Ally and I had to figure out how to get to our Airbnb. While the Airbnb lady had left us directions to get from the airport to the place, we frantically searched the map and could not find the directions she had told us. After asking different people with what little Spanish I knew we finally found the metro and someone to help us buy the tickets to get to the place. We got on the metro and followed the directions, until maps took us to the wrong building. With Whatsapp not connecting to contact the Airbnb owner and us being sleep deprived, it was not a good mix. Three hours later we made it to our Airbnb and went to a restaurant where they spoke no English. With the help of Google translate, my limited (very limited) Spanish, and photos of their food they had we managed to order our dinner which turned out to be amazing.
My week in Spain was amazing and I gained a new respect for another culture and language. The language barrier at times was difficult but definitely added to the experience. I will never forget visiting the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the San Miguel Market in Madrid.

Your opinions: Dec. 24
Why alarmist climate change models fail
Climate catastrophe delusion infects many letter writers, Gordon Solberg's recent letter being perhaps the most splendid example.
CO2, the substance essential to almost all carbon-based animal and human life on Earth, now about 403 parts per million is at historic lows in geologic terms. In the Cambrian, about 550 million years ago, sea life, trilobites, brachiopods and even chordates exploded across the ocean floor, while CO2 was 7000 PPM, about 18 times as much as today. Towards the end of the Ordovician, CO2 increased from 4000 to 4400 PPM, yet temperatures plummeted into Snowball Earth.
High school chemistry teaches Henry's Law: roughly, in aqueous solution, say seawater, when the temperature of the water increases, dissolved gases, including CO2 come out of the water into the air. Put simply, temperature controls CO2, not the reverse, a principal reason why alarmist climate models fail.
Mainstream media have not looked up historic data, which confound the catastrophic predictions.
The last ice age ended about 18,000 years ago. Near its maximum, the ice sheet went south of Manhattan; Central Park's visitors see bare rock, Manhattan Schist; a few miles away lays the terminal moraine, at New Jersey's Galloping Hill Country Club.
Since the end of the last ice age, ice cores show about 12 warm periods; the last four have been the Minoan, Roman, Medieval and the Present. The Present warm period is not as warm as the previous ones despite "record amounts" of CO2 and methane in the air today. Professor Patzelt's results of an alpine tree ring study also shows about 12 warm periods, the present warm period is puny in comparison with those of the previous 7,000 years.
These are all indisputable facts; the alarmist cries are the propaganda of leftist governments and their ignorant minions in the media.

Our museums educate and celebrate heritage
As recent exhibitors at the Las Cruces Brannigan Cultural Center, we hereby express our gratitude for the skill and can-do attitude of all the staff at BCC. It was a great pleasure to work with such knowledgable people. We are very fortunate to have people of this caliber working to put on quality exhibits for the area.
The Railroad Museum is another jewel in the Las Cruces museum system. It earns the envy of surrounding areas that lack venues to celebrate their own heritages. Our Las Cruces museums educate, entertain, and provide perspectives on how we progress. They are well worth visiting.

Carolers raise $226 for homeless animals
On Dec. 2 during the Holiday Ramble, the fine people at Mas Art graciously allowed a scrappy little band of carolers from Project Save A Kitten and the Coalition for Pets and People to sing outside their door to raise money for bedding for animals housed at the Animals Services Center of the Mesilla Valley.
That evening, the people of Las Cruces gave $226 to make homeless animals a little more comfortable. To those who donated, we say thank you so very much.

Electric cars – be it a compact, SUV or a van – have higher price tags than petrol engine vehicles. when you take into account the annual costs for actually driving and maintaining the car, the setup changes. An electric vehicle has lower running and maintenance costs. British car insurer Direct Line analysed the total cost of ownership for the lifetime of vehicles, and concluded that electric cars are somewhat cheaper to own than traditional cars.
The estimates were based on the average vehicle lifetime of 13.9 years, and on average annual mileage of 7900 / 12700 km.
In this model, the cost advantage for electric vehicles is 3% over the lifetime of the car. A study conducted in the US by the Electric Vehicle Transportation Center with vehicles available in that market found that small electric cars had cost advantage already after five years of usage.
The numbers in Direct Line's study indicate that owners of electric cars who drive more than the average 12700 km a year would benefit more compared to an owner of petrol vehicle who drives as much. Fuel and maintenance costs of e-cars are significantly (58% and 49%) lower than the costs of combustion engine cars.

The Trump administration in June reversed a Department of Health and Human Services rule, erasing protections for transgender patients against discrimination by doctors, hospitals, and health insurance companies.
Adding insult to injury, the announcement was made during Pride Month and on the fourth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting, which left 49 victims—including many LGBTQ individuals—dead.
In a late Aug. 17 decision, Judge Frederick Block of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York halted the HHS from enforcing the rule that stripped gender identity and sex stereotyping from anti-discrimination protections under the Affordable Care Act. This was one of a number of lawsuits filed against the rule.
Anti-LGBTQ Legal Protections Have Been Attempted Since 2016
Under the Obama administration and Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, civil rights protections in health care were established to ban discrimination based on "gender identity." Health-care providers and health insurance companies were thus legally required to provide medically appropriate treatment for transgender patients.
In December 2016, conservative federal Judge Reed O'Connor issued a preliminary injunction against Section 1557, to set in motion the ability to once again discriminate against transgender people, and it was reopened in 2018.
In 2018, the HHS adopted a uniform definition of gender under Title IX, as "either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with," according to the New York Times. Even at the state level this year, Idaho set forth two anti-trans laws in March, the Department of Justice sought to ban transgender girls from high school sports in Connecticut, and criminal penalties for transition care to trans minors was considered in South Carolina.
First proposed in May 2019, Trump's new rule will return to the "government's interpretation of sex discrimination according to the plain meaning of the word 'sex' as male or female and as determined by biology," according to the HHS press release.
Health-care providers can now turn away anyone they perceive as trans or gay and can refuse to respect someone's gender identity in making room assignments. Insurance companies can now enforce bans on hormone replacement therapy, gender-affirming surgery, and all transition-related medical care.
Instilling Fear in Extremely Vulnerable Populations
These draconian policies and vicious attacks on the LGBTQ+ community have instilled paralyzing fear among transgender patients, particularly because it's the worst time to have health-care rights removed. The 1.4 million adults in the U.S. who identify as transgender will now walk into a doctor's office terrified they might be treated unfairly, won't get adequate care, or will be turned away.
Or maybe they won't go at all. Unfortunately, even if hospitals don't end up acting prejudiced, because discrimination is now legal, it will likely deter the transgender community from seeking care or getting tested for Covid-19. This is dangerous, considering that transgender populations are at an especially increased risk to contracting Covid-19.
In addition, there is the lingering fear that all the progress the Obama administration made toward transgender rights in health care will be completely reversed. Prior to historic reforms in 2015 following the landmark legislation that would allow same-sex couples to marry, the prospects of getting quality health care as a transgender adult were slim to none.
In a recent report from UCLA, data from the U.S. Transgender Population Health Survey was used to identify characteristics that may increase vulnerability to Covid-19 for transgender adults. What the report found was quite sobering:
- 319,800 transgender adults are immunocompromised and have one or more of the following conditions: asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or HIV;
- 217,000 transgender adults are 65 or older;
- 450,400 transgender adults could not go to the doctor last year because they could not afford it;
- 137,600 transgender adults do not have health insurance; and
- 667,100 transgender adults live below 200 percent of the poverty line.
Under this new rule and given deep-rooted prejudices that they already face, it's not far-fetched to say that transgender populations could be pushed farther down the list for Covid-19 treatment or ventilators. Trans patients are now at the mercy of a medical professional's personal beliefs.
What Can Be Done?
As soon as the rule was released, the Human Rights Campaign announced intentions to sue the Trump administration. Even within an hour, LGBT activist group Lambda Legal said it would absolutely challenge this law in court, and it did.
Other organizations like the Harvard Center for Health Law, the National Women's Law Center, and the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund are teaming up to fight against the ruling.
House Democrats have vehemently expressed their opposition, and under the Congressional Review Act, they could repeal it within 60 legislative days (days Congress is actually in session). This would require Democrats to retain control of the House and win the White House and Senate.
What is absolutely certain? This ruling will not go down without a fight.
