Despite the notice being dated in 2013, it is still appropriate with regards to the Chinese government position on Bitcoin and as stated, there is no indicator of the outlawing Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Rather, policy and education and learning concerning Bitcoin and blockchain will play a role in the Chinese crypto-market.
Given that 2011, China has actually played a crucial function in the speedy rise and fall. At its peak, China represented over 95% of the international alphachanger.com trading quantity and three quarters of the mining operations. With regulators stepping in to manage trading and mining operations, China's supremacy has actually shrunk considerably for security.
Increase in application
While there is no main explanation on the suppression of cryptocurrencies, resources controls, prohibited tasks and security of its residents from financial threat are several of the primary reasons pointed out by specialists. Certainly, Chinese regulatory authorities have applied stricter controls such as abroad withdrawal cap and managing international direct financial investment to limit resources outflow and make sure residential investments. The privacy and ease of cross-border transactions have actually also made cryptocurrency a favored means for cash laundering and fraudulent tasks.
With nations like Korea and India doing the same in the crackdown, darkness is now casted over the future of cryptocurrency. I shall restate my point here: countries are controlling cryptocurrency, not banning it. Certainly, we will see more nations participate in the coming months to check the tumultuous crypto-market.
It's Much like Buying Products
Certainly, some sort of order was long overdue. Over the past year, cryptocurrencies are experiencing rate volatility unprecedented and ICOs are taking place literally each day. In 2017, the total market capitalization rose from 18 billion USD in January to an all-time high of 828 billion USD. The Chinese neighborhood is in surprisingly excellent spirits regardless of crackdowns.
There is substantial excitement for the application of blockchain modern technology in basically every industry. Some startups are thinking of innovative options such as electronic pocketbooks, debit cards for cryptocurrencies, etc. this will raise the variety of sellers that want to transact in cryptocurrencies which then increase the variety of individuals.

Total $0.00
$85 Million Renovation Underway for the Novotel New York Times Square; September Completion Planned
June 28, 2013 10:44am
June 28, 2013 (New York, NY) - Novotel New York is making a dramatic mark on its centrally-located Times Square address with an exciting $85 million revamp financed by the owners, real-estate asset management companies Charters Lodging Group, LLC and Apollo Global Management, LLC. Led by the design firm Stonehill & Taylor, the complete renovation will create an inviting ambiance in the heart of the city to dazzle contemporary travelers, complete with the new restaurant, Supernova, and an exclusive outdoor Terrace, offering unparalleled views of Times Square. Novotel, Accor's North American flagship brand, will continue to welcome guests throughout the renovation, which is scheduled for completion in September 2013.
More metamorphosis than mere makeover, the renovation of Novotel New York is the first hotel in Times Square to undergo a large-scale redesign in quite some time. The work will reposition the hotel for young, fresh, hip and edgy clientele that are drawn to the city for both business and leisure pursuits. With an electric atmosphere, Novotel New York will emerge as a go-to destination for both travelers and locals who long to be in the heat of the action.
"We can't wait to debut the 'new' Novotel New York this fall, and look forward to welcoming both new and returning guests to experience an unrivaled view of Times Square," said Marc Sternagel, General Manager. "The revived look of the hotel, combined with Supernova restaurant and our stunning Terrace, will offer locals and visitors alike a reason to create their own New York memories."
From Street Entrance to Street Views
Stonehill & Taylor's design work starts at the West 52nd Street entrance and carries through to the new Supernova restaurant and outdoor Terrace on the 7th floor.
The redesign of the lobby is inspired by the concepts of celebration and passage of time, both envisioned in reference to the pop culture and calendar-flipping significance of New Years' Eve in Times Square. The lobby space will be nothing short of dramatic, with stylish seating, constant imagery flashing on LCD flat screens, and a smooth check-in experience.
The hotel arrival experience will feature ambient sound, video art, purposeful materials and lighting that surrounds guests upon entry and transports them to their rooms. Computer-controlled hexagonal LED ceiling panels will illuminate in different colors, complementing changing music and sounds throughout the day. The renovation will further integrate the lobby and 7th floor public spaces into a fluid and sophisticated space with striking views of Times Square.
Outdoor Terrace
The hotel's outdoor Terrace, in particular, is a unique centerpiece and will set the hotel apart from others in the neighborhood, featuring 5,700 square feet of social space seven floors off the ground and a dramatic vista of Times Square from every conceivable angle.
Comfortable walkways, tables for bar service, colorful foliage, and fire pits for enjoying cocktails and bites under the bright lights of Times Square will offer unparalleled vantage points for both locals and hotel guests.
Comfort Food, Cocktails & Doughnuts
Reflecting the location of Novotel New York in the heart of the Theater District, Supernova restaurant will be a destination of its own. Supernova will be a hot spot for pre-theater and post-theater dining, evoking a striking contemporary design for savoring traditional American comfort food and classic American cocktails with an international twist. The restaurant experience will further be enhanced by the hotel's partnership with Doughnuttery. This New York-based purveyor of "hot, fresh, uniquely sugared treats" will serve miniature ringed delights from a "Doughnut Dip Trolley" cart laden with special sauces for dipping. Supernova will play up the partnership in style, with specialty cocktails crafted at The Bar to be paired with doughnuts for a sweet finish - or start - to the evening.
Guest Rooms to Use
Each of Novotel New York's 480 guest rooms will be refashioned into a deluxe, sensuous and sophisticated space in keeping with the hotel brand's contemporary "Next Room" design theme. Anchored by the back-lit headboard of a duvet-covered bed, rooms will unfold with sleek furnishings, clean lines, striking colors and state-of-the-art comforts. New features include chic lighting, 46-inch flat screen TVs, WiFi access, ample workspace with iPad docking stations, and soundproof windows that open and close. Ultramodern bathrooms will be laid out with sleek steel surfaces and spacious glass showers beneath dramatic lighting.

Food and Drug Administration: Selected Funding and Policy Issues
June 9, 1998
95-422 STM Updated June 9, 1998 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Food and Drug Administration: Selected Funding and Policy Issues Donna U. Vogt Analyst in Social Sciences Science, Technology, and Medicine Division Summary Under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring the safety of foods, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and other products.1 Those products account for 25 cents of every dollar U.S. consumers spend. FDA assesses the public health impact from the use of these products, and tries to anticipate and prevent hazards to public health. It evaluates and grants pre-market approval to many products, conducts postmarket surveillance, evaluates reports of adverse reactions, and takes enforcementrelated actions when necessary. The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) created many regulatory changes and new tasks and deadlines for the agency. In the President's FY1999 budget request for FDA, the agency requested a total of $1.264 billion, of which $970 million would be in budget authority, $281 million would be collected in user fees, and $13 million would come from other reimbursable activities. If funded, almost $50 million will be used for the President's food safety initiatives and $134 million will be used to reduce young people's use of tobacco. This report will be updated periodically. Background Presidential requests for FDA funding and the actual congressional appropriations reflect four major trends since 1985: ! There have been substantial increases in the volume and complexity of FDA's traditional tasks, such as premarket application review and new product approvals. Premarket reviews require trained personnel, particularly for drugs, medical 1 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (FFDCA), as amended, (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.) gives FDA its broad regulatory and enforcement authority. In 1988 the FFDCA was amended by the Food and Drug Administration Act, Title V of the Health Omnibus Programs Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-607). That amendment established FDA as a unit of the Public Health Service (PHS) within the Department of Health and Human Services and required that the FDA Commissioner be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress CRS-2 devices, and food additives. Increases in the number of applications for approval of those products and new biotechnology products have also contributed to the growing competition for agency resources. ! Special emergencies arise every year. When E. coli O157:H7, in bottled, unpasteurized apple cider, caused an outbreak of food borne illness in November 1996, FDA food scientists and enforcement personnel worked in cooperation with other officials of federal, state, and local governments to detect the cause and to warn consumers nationwide. ! FDA has been given new tasks. In November 1997, Congress passed the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA), which changed how FDA reviews and regulates drugs, medical devices, and certain food additives. The Act directed FDA to publish 42 regulations, 23 guidances, and 13 other publications in the Federal Register, and to complete 25 other tasks by specific deadlines. In December 1997, FDA implemented a new systematic preventive approach for seafood safety called Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) because food borne microbial pathogens have emerged as a public health concern. Under this approach, food firms must analyze and identify points in their food production process where risks of hazards are greatest, and they monitor each point to assure that food borne hazards do not occur. Firms must make HACCP plans and records available to FDA's investigators during inspections. ! Public expectations have grown with regard to the role that FDA should play in protecting the public from all types of drug, device, and food risks. The public expects FDA to approve new therapies for serious and life-threatening diseases more rapidly than in the past. Funding Table 1 shows FDA appropriation funding from FY1985 through FY1998, and requested funding for FY1999. In current dollars, appropriations rose approximately 146% over that time period, while in constant (FY1992) dollars, the increase was 66%. Most of this change occurred between 1990 and 1994, the period during which Congress significantly augmented FDA's responsibilities. In constant (FY1992) dollars, FDA appropriations were flat in FY1995 and FY1996, and declined by 2% in FY1997. Both Houses gave FDA an increase of 4% for FY1998 in current dollars but less than a 1% increase in 1992 dollars. The President is requesting a 23% increase for FY 1999 over last year's appropriation. The reason for the requested increase is in part that the number of applications that the agency must review for all types of FDA-regulated products has been increasing 12% each year for the last 4 years. User Fees The President's FY1999 budget request to Congress contained a request for $281 million to be collected in user fees to augment FDA's resources for performing specific services. Approximately $153 million would be used for standing programs, including the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) and the Mammography Quality Standards CRS-3 Act (MQSA) of 1992, and $128 million would be used to help fund the agency's regular programs in new "general user fees."

For example, the amounts originally appropriated were $420,306,000 in FY1986 and $585,883,000 in FY1990. d The numbers include the following amounts to be collected through user fees: 1987:$31,425,000; 1990:$100,000,000; 1991:$157,175,000; 1992:$197,500,000; 1993:$200,000,000; 1994:$254,000,000; 1995:$337,923,000; 1996:$141,667,000; 1997:$145,749,000; 1998:$244,272,000; 1999:$293,380,000. CRS-4 Source: Data from 1985 through 1995 is from the FY1995 Congressional Budget Submission, pp. 31-33. The FY1995-FY1999 appropriation levels are from the relevant conference reports. In FDAMA, Congress reauthorized PDUFA, which since 1992 has been FDA's largest and most successful user fee program. PDUFA allows FDA to charge pharmaceutical companies user fees to expedite the drug development process through review of human drug and biologic applications. PDUFA fees are used to supplement existing FDA appropriations. PDUFA mandates that FDA complete certain performance goals2 and that Congress annually approve the total collections for the program in agency appropriations bills. Both FDA and the pharmaceutical industry consider PDUFA a success because 95% of the applications for new drugs and biologics were reviewed within the time frames specified in the law. For FY1999, the President requested $132 million in fees to be authorized to be collected under PDUFA. The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) of 1992 gave FDA authority to collect user fees to pay for certifying mammography facilities and to set national standards that each facility must meet. The current fees pay for annual inspections of approximately 8,300 mammography facilities by federal or state inspectors to ensure compliance with national quality and safety standards. Authorization for this program expired on September 30, 1997. On November 9, 1997, the Senate passed the Mammography Quality Standards Reauthorization Act of 1998 (S. 537). On November 12, 1997, the Senate referred the bill to the House Commerce Subcommittee on Health and the Environment where the House version, H.R. 1289, has already been referred. In the FY1999 budget request, the President requested $14.4 million to continue annual inspections of mammography facilities. The President's FY1999 request also includes $6.6 million to be collected from requesters for certifying color additives, exports, and for information sent to requesters under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FDA has requested "general user fee" authority in its annual budget requests to Congress in 1987 and from 1990 to the present. (See Table 1.) These repeated requests are because user fee programs have been successful in supplementing the agency's budget. Supporters of user fee programs think that the beneficiaries of agency services should pay for the services they receive: FDA approval increases consumer confidence, improves the competitive position of U.S. firms worldwide, and gives firms significant protection from product liability. Others are concerned that such dependence on fees may lead FDA to focus on facilitating commerce of consumer products and medical therapies at the cost of diminishing its efforts to protect the public health. For FY1999, FDA requested "general user fee" authority to collect $128 million in fees. The agency justified this new request for "general user fees" by stating that the industry should share some of the regulatory cost with the taxpayer because industry derives a direct commercial benefit from consumer's confidence in FDA's review process and product surveillance activities. 2 For FY1999, the performance goals include the review and processing of 90% of new drug applications within one year of submission and 90% of new drug applications for priority drugs within 6 months. CRS-5 Members of both the House and Senate Appropriation Committees have not looked favorably on the request for "general user fees." The Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, Representative Joe Skeen, stated at a recent hearing that appropriations for new general user fees "were not going to happen." 3 Previously, both the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees had expressed displeasure that the Administration had not proposed a legislative package to authorize such user fees.

From FY19888 94, many new employees were hired to implement programs established 6 by Congress, particularly the Nutri4 tion Education and Labeling Act, PDUFA, and MQSA.

In FY1994, user fees paid for 244 FTE Figure 1 positions; in FY1995, 453 positions; in FY1996, 685 positions; in FY1997, 677 positions; and in FY1998, 825 positions. For FY1999, FDA is requesting that 2,128 FTE's be paid for by user fees. Current Legislative Issues The 105th Congress is facing two related FDA issues. First, Congress is being asked to appropriate a 23% increase in FDA's appropriations for FY1999 over FY1998. The President's request is for $1.264 billion, of which $970 million is in budget authority, $281 million in user fees, and $13 million in other reimbursable activities. The request includes funding increases for two presidential initiatives and resources to carry out tasks mandated by the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA, P.L. 105-115). (See CRS Report 98-263 STM, Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 — The Provisions.) Second, Congress is being urged to monitor closely how the agency is implementing FDAMA. The new law has created many regulatory changes and deadlines for the agency. As part of this FY1999 budget request, the President has asked for authority to collect "general user fees" to pay for basic agency functions. Some in Congress are concerned that without "general user fee authorization" and with increased funding for specific initiatives, the base resources for the agency will decline and that will affect other program areas. If the appropriation subcommittees do not authorize the collection of user fees, Congress may be asked to appropriate funds to cover the cost of some of those basic 3 Comment by Representative Joe Skeen at a February 25, 1998, hearing before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture. CRS-6 functions. Since the conference committee has not yet met to agree on a FY 1999 budget resolution, there is concern that there may not be enough resources to cover these functions. One such program, for which the President has asked for an increase, is the Food Safety Initiative (FSI). The President requested a total of $50 million for FDA's FSI for FY 1999, an increase of $25 million. The agency intends to use $25 million to continue to monitor the nation's food supply, particularly seafood plants. The other $25 million would be spent on expanding oversight of fresh produce, particularly imports. In FY1996, approximately 430,000 entries of fresh produce were imported. FDA inspectors examined only 0.2% of these entries for pathogen contamination. FDA also requested an additional $100 million for a total of $134 million to fund tobacco-related outreach and enforcement activities. By the end of FY1998, the agency will have contracts with all 50 states to enforce its regulation aimed at reducing underage tobacco use. Some Members believe that state and local governments could absorb more FDA tobacco-related responsibilities. Critics in the medical device industry are concerned that FDA may over stretch its resources with those tobacco-related responsibilities. The comprehensive tobacco legislation currently under consideration by the Senate would expand the agency's anti tobacco program. A related concern has to do with funding activities mandated by FDAMA. FDA must now meet many additional statutory requirements. The Act directed FDA to publish series of regulations, and guidances, and to execute other tasks that include negotiating international recognition agreements, harmonizing global standards, reviewing post marketing studies, and providing reports to Congress. Some say that FDA, however, has not yet been given resources necessary to carry out some of these responsibilities. Many in the regulated industries, patient groups, and consumer organizations are lobbying for increased FDA appropriations for FY 1999 to help carry out these tasks. The Administration, however, believes its request will be adequate. Many interest groups are urging Congress to monitor closely how the agency implements FDAMA's new regulatory requirements for drug and medical device approvals. For example, FDAMA directs FDA to identify drugs that should undergo further studies to determine their optimum use in pediatrics. On May 20, 1998, FDA named 330 drugs that need pediatric research; industry has criticized the agency for not issuing guidance on how the drug list should be used by manufacturers. Some in Congress have also complained that the list did not carry out the intent of FDAMA. Other FDAMA mandates may have long term effects. FDAMA allows the dissemination of journal articles about uses of unapproved drugs if the manufacturer promises to do studies to support the claim in the article. Critics point out that an article's publication on an unapproved use of a drug in a peer-reviewed journal is no guarantee of safety or efficacy. Supporters claim that, with this incentive, manufacturers will now make an effort to get off-label uses on the label more expeditiously. Some in Congress are also concerned about what appears to be the agency's priorities on medical devices. FDA issued a guide on managed care promotion mandated in FDAMA that some congressional staff believe went beyond the Act's requirements. The agency has issued, without complaint, several other guidance documents implementing FDAMA's requirements. One guidance laid out how industry should CRS-7 collaborate on applications that declare their conformity with other devices; another set out the procedures for how the industry should file manufacturing changes in premarket approval applications.

Since we were quartered in the same hotel, and frequently walked to the tournament hall together, I had the opportunity to ask Petrosian some burning questions. (His wife served as translator.) He readily admitted not being satisfied with his chess ever since the title match with Spassky, in which he felt the quality of his play was considerably better than the result would indicate. He is confident of finding his form in 1968 and attributes his poor tournament showings (as opposed to his winning the gold medal on Board One at the Havana Olympic) to the cross [curse?] of the title: everyone now plays for a draw against him.
And what about a match with Fischer? He says FIDE would not permit one for the title. What about an unofficial match, say, 12 games, for a purse of $10,000, divided 60% for the winner and 40% for the loser? Here Petrosian's attitude was ambiguous. He personally would be happy to play such a match, but it's a question of what his own chess federation would say. Furthermore, who would want to put up with all of Fischer's conditions? By now the latter's eccentricities are well known. Then Petrosian said that $10,000 would not be enough. I indicated surprise, pointing out that he received less than $2,000 for winning the title match against Spassky. Donner happened to be present at this discussion, and when asked by Petrosian's wife who he thought would win such a match, Donner replied instantly: "Fischer!" Donner, further, thought that the FIDE system was strong enough to withstand unofficial matches of this nature when the title was not involved (although the winner would have a moral claim). Petrosian wondered whether Fischer's chess was not somewhat stronger five years ago, before his temporary retirement from the game. I said Bobby was playing better than ever and would undoubtedly win the Interzonal.
Then came the news of the scandal in Tunis and Fischer's withdrawal. Everyone thought that Bobby was crazy. I said we would have to have more facts, but that Bobby was generally right when it came to matters of principle. I couldn't tell whether Petrosian was pleased by the prospect of not now having to meet Fischer for the title; but again he indicated that he would play Fischer a match if the decision were his to make. His wife pointed out that Tigran had a tremendous plus score against Bobby, and I replied that it had been piled up when Bobby was just developing. I know that of all the Russians, Bobby has the greatest respect for Petrosian. If they made draw after draw in a match, which is not unlikely, Bobby might very well get impatient and suicidally try to force the issue. When I asked Petrosian how he felt about a return to the old type of match for the title -- based on who wins the first six games, for example, thus making ties impossible -- he said he was not opposed, but it could produce an endless number of games since the players are so evenly matched nowadays. Besides, this is a matter which rests solely in the hands of FIDE.
It is clear that Petrosian, whether he says so or not, considers Bobby the strongest possible challenger. But, he said, in their own games Bobby did not make a single move which he had not anticipated. Furthermore, he gave Fischer a draw (in their second round encounter at the Piatigorsky Cup 1966), even though he demonstrated to Bobby after the game that he (Petrosian) had a winning position. Why? Because he wanted to see Bobby finish second (rather than Larsen) because Bobby had played the best chess in the tournament. His wife, seeing that I took this with a grain of salt, assured me that it was true. Apart from that, he would like to play in the next Piatigorsky and give an exhibition tour in America.
Tigran Petrosian was the reigning World Champion from 1963 to 1969.

Argentina Will be Initially Exempted From Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum Until May 1 | BA
The White House issued a press release yesterday evening announcing that Argentina, as well as other countries along with the European Union, will be exempted from the tariffs on aluminum and steel that the Trump administration officially implemented today until May 1.
Moreover, it indicated that the White House is currently discussing "satisfactory alternative means to address the threatened impairment to the national security by imports of steel articles," with each of them. Besides the EU; Australia, Brazil, and South Korea are currently also in the same position as Argentina, while Mexico and Canada have already been permanently exempted of these tariffs.
The release goes on to say that the "important security relationship with the United States" was one of the main reasons at the time of making the decision. When referring to Argentina in particular, it says that both countries also have a "shared commitment of mutual support on national security issues in Latin America, particularly the threat posed by the instability in Venezuela."
"Our shared commitment to face the global excess of steel production capacity; reciprocal investment in our respective industrial bases and the strong economic integration between our countries," it adds.
The decision to temporarily exempt Argentina from the tariffs took place yesterday, and was announced by the United States Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer, at a meeting of the Senate Finance Committee.
The current administration has been lobbying hard to get this concession. Immediately after the original announcement, President Mauricio Macri had called Trump to express his concerns about the impact of steel and aluminum tariffs on Argentine exports to the United States. Moreover, Trade Secretary Miguel Braun traveled to Washington last week and met with his American counterpart, Wilbur Ross, with the same goal.
The efforts continued during the G20 meeting of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors that took place in Argentina this week, with a bilateral meeting between Treasury Minister Nicolás Dujovne and US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin. On top of this, Production and Foreign Ministers Francisco Cabrera and Jorge Faurie sent a letter to Lighthizer yesterday night formally requesting Argentina to be exempted.
Today, at least temporarily, the government achieved that goal. Now, it will seek for the exemption to be definitive.

Ayatollah Khamenei Attacks 'Unclean' Israel – Mocks Obama on US Economy
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei attacked the "unclean Zionist regime" in a statement this week. He also mocked Obama on his failed leadership on the economy.
The Iranian leader was speaking to elite Basij forces at their annual conference in Tehran.
Presss TV reported:
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution expressed regret that certain European governments curry favor with Zionists who lack humanity.
"At a certain point, the French nation, because of their president standing up to the UK and the US, found political credibility, but now French politicians not only bow before America but also in front of the ominous and unclean Zionist regime and belittle themselves, and are a disgrace for the French nation…," said Ayatollah Khamenei.
The Leader said the enemy's mistake is "not learning from its past mistakes."
"The US president and other American officials, instead of [issuing] military threats against Iran should find a solution to their in-ruins economy and their debts…," said the Leader, urging US officials to find a solution to their economic woes and prevent two-week government shutdowns from happening again.

This week has been a very busy but very good week! Josh and I visited Funk's Grove for a mansion tour. It is fantastic so I highly recommend you make your way out there for a tour. All I'm going to tell you about it is that the family seems like such an encouraging Christian family. They didn't actually come out and say that they were Christians, but the way they lived their lives would suggest they are. I left there feeling refreshed and just...encouraged. It was beautiful.
A team of us from church have been arduously preparing for the coming of our Basque Students! They arrived in Peoria last night and there will be a welcome dinner for them tonight. Along with another woman, I have been preparing decorations for said dinner. It has been a lot of hard work but ultimately worth it.
Have an outstanding weekend, y'all!
p.s. I'm linking up with Kacia again today. Make sure you go check out her blog too!

We talk about Women empowerment, we organize or participate in rallies, we organize talk shows, and any such programs that helps to raise awareness about the welfare of women.
There's always been few questions boggling on my mind, are these acts making any difference in the society? Are the rallies conducted in the city areas or the programs telecasted on televisions making any difference on the rural areas where even the electricity hasn't reached yet? Are the minimal field visits of the organizations set up in the valleys that work with the slogan of bringing change in women's status, actually helping to bring a difference?
Who can give the guarantee that the principal of a school who strictly implements the rule that there should not be any violence based on the gender or any abuse done to any student, would not do the same himself, be it in the schools compound or at his home? Who can give the assurance that a politician who gives an hours speech on equalizing men and women status does not point out differences between his own son and daughter back home? Who says that a police officer who puts the rapists behind the bars would not tend to take advantage of a lonesome girl?
What if a lawyer who helps a woman fight for her rights, would not even be allowing his spouse to go to the vendors? What if a person who walks down the allies in a rally for providing justice to women, seeks for a bride whose family is capable of providing enough dowry to him? What if a boy who is taught to respect females, is secretly shooting mms for money? What if a brother who goes for late night parties with his girlfriend does not even allow his sister to talk to her male friends? What if a guy who romances every day with his partner does not let the maid to enter into the kitchen during her periods?
What if a youngster who recently gave an interview for working in a women welfare based organization, is taking advantage of the crowded bus and dashing on a girl purposely, on his way back home? What if a child who is taught about various social issues and its impacts at school, hears a heartwarming laugh of his grandfather on reading the headlines that states "A lady killed by villagers, claiming her to be a witch"?
So, I wanted to know, what kind of change are we talking about here? Is equalization of women just an outer cover? All I see is our society is draped with curtains, the truth is something else which is hidden behind the walls.
As per my opinion, rallies or talk shows does help attract attention of people on the issues but when it comes into implementation, those discussions held or the slogans chanted isn't helping bring much of a difference. Many would not agree to it but I believe literacy and self-realization are the only factors that will help us eradicate social issues related to women and help bring equality between two beautiful creations of god.
Both men and women need to self-realize and work on the issues individually first and then together as a whole. It's a woman who needs to be strong enough to know her worth. She should realize that she isn't brought to this world to just give birth and take care of household chores. She needs to learn that no one else has right to take or impose decisions about her life. A girl from her early age should be taught that she is the master of her own life and no one can take that power from her, nor her husband nor her brother or her father. She needs to respect herself and be independent in her thoughts and actions so that no human can look her with disrespect. And a man should realize that a woman/girl is no toy. She is a human like them and she has her own will. One needs to understand that, she isn't a playful material where aggression, anger, or intimidating feelings are taken out on. Instead of teaching boys should not cry, they should be taught that boys don't make others cry.
A little change in every individual's thought is necessary because, unless and until each individual brings a change into himself/herself, this problem won't eradicate from the society. But if not there will be a never ending lines of "What if's".
It's a high time we work on it to build a better society to live in. So, let's get started, before it's too late!!!

April 2018
Message from the President
I hope everyone has had a wonderful start to the 2018 year and that winter wasn't too harsh!
Now that the weather is starting to warm up, we have several outdoor events that are planned as we wind down the remaining quarter of our calendar year that we hope you will take the opportunity to join us for!
First off, we'd like to first thank Dr. Nave from NC A&T for being our lecturer at our meeting in March. Thanks again to Hyfab for their hospitality. It was an interesting lecture in which Dr. Nave discussed the uses and regulations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones), as it pertained to our industry. We were blown away by the drone shown in the below photograph, which came with a price tag of only $35,000.00
The 1st ASHRAE Skeet Shoot for RP was a huge success! Thanks to all the individuals and teams who came out and enjoyed a Friday afternoon filled with shells. We raised over $1500 for research promotion!
At 11:30am on April 18th 2018 at Hoffman & Hoffman conference center, we will be having our final "in-house" chapter meeting of the year. This will be a very interesting topic and presentation by the Chair of our Greensboro Community Sustainability Council, Mrs. Faun Finley, who works with city council to create our Greensboro Sustainability Action Plan. Mrs. Finley will present on our local initiatives in sustainability with an eye on the future. Please join us for this interesting discussion and unique opportunity to learn more about what is happening in our community.
Registration is now OPEN for our May 25th,2018 SPRING GOLF TOURNAMENT! The details are listed on the website and you will be receiving an email with link to sign up and get your teams registered! Come kick off the long weekend with us at Bryan Park. We always have a great time and this one will not dissapoint.
We will be hosting our YEA Night at Greensboro Grasshoppers ballpark with local A&T ASHRAE Chapter Students on April 19th as the Hoppers battle the Charleston Riverdogs. This is a great way for the students to come out and meet with industry professionals as they prepare to begin their careers, many in our industry. We are looking for any sponsors that would be willing to subsidize the cost of the tickets...($7 each). We expect 15-20 attendees!
The 2018 CRC Planning meeting will commence April 27-28th in Columbia, SC as we look forward to the joint CRC being hosted by Region IV and Region XII August 8-11th in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Registration is now open for the August CRC, so please make you plans accordingly.
Research Promotion
Spring is here and that meas two things. First, we're making our final push to reach our $29,000 goal for Research Promotion. TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS. That's a big number and it's great to be a part of something so impactful. Thank you to everyone who's donated, volunteered, and/or sponsored our efforts this year and in years past. I'm confident that we'll meet this goal, but it's going to come down to the wire.
That brings me to the second thing, the ASHRAE Spring Golf Outing! This year's outing will be held on May 25 so please mark your calendars. If you haven't already, go ahead and drag out the ole clubs and take a cleaning brush to your irons. I'm told those little grooves are important. Be looking for the emails, and we hope to see you out there!
If golfing isn't your thing, I hope you got to sign up for our First Annual Sporting Clays Classic, which has probably taken place by the time you'll be reading this. Expect a full report in next months newsletter.
And as always, if you'd like to make a tax deductable donation online, just go to www.ashrae.org/contribute, or contact me directly at email@example.com.
Thank you,
Rob O'Berry, RP Chair

The HVAC (Heating, Ventilation Air Conditioning) industry has somewhat unsung African American heroes.
I would like to recognize a few HVAC Heroes that helped shape our industry as we know it today.
David Nelson Crosthwait Jr.
Engineer, Journalist, Inventor (1898–1976)
An African-American pioneer of heating and air conditioning, David Nelson Crosthwait Jr. is best known for bringing heat to a very cold Radio City Music Hall. His designs led to many HVAC innovations. And the heating system he provided for Radio City Music Hall in New York City is perhaps the most famous example of his legacy.
Crosthwait won a medal from the National Technological Association in the 1930s. And he became the first African American to be honored as a fellow of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers in 1971.
Alice Parker
Inventor of the gas furnace
Not much is known about Alice H. Parker except that her design for the first gas furnace became the precursor to what would become the central heating system. Her patented heating furnace set the stage for what would later become central heating for residential and commercial buildings. Parker's invention was a heating furnace powered by gas with several units with individually controlled air ducts. It was designed to heat different sections of an entire house. Before Parker's design and patent were approved in 1919, coal and wood were the most common ways to heat a home.
Frederick McKinley Jones
Founder of Thermo King (May 17, 1893 – February 21, 1961)
A man whose inventions helped shape refrigeration as we know it today, Frederick McKinley Jones is known for his innovations in preserving perishable goods during long-haul transportation. Anytime you see a truck on the highway transporting refrigerated or frozen food, you're seeing the work of Frederick McKinley Jones. And if you've heard of the name Thermo King — an international enterprise that is still around today — it was McKinley Jones who co-founded it with Joseph Numero in 1938. McKinley Jones patented a portable cooling unit for trucks transporting perishable food. He also innovated portable cooling units during World War II for preserving blood, medicine and food used at army hospitals and battlefields. In 1944, Jones became the first African American to be elected into the American Society of Refrigeration Engineers. He also became the first African-American to receive the National Medal of Technology, posthumously, from President George Bush in 1991.
Student Activities
Come join us this Friday (April 13th) from 11:30am-1pm at Cherry Hall Room 111 on NC A&T Campus, to congratulate the graduating Senior class. Lunch will be provided. Please come join us in wishing the newest crop of Engineers good luck in their endeavors!!!
Last month our Chapter participated in NC A&T's CERT Energy Day. We want to thank the volunteers who participated: Mark Bingham, Maurice Harrison & Miguel Marquez! This year they demonstarted how a Siphon works and changing the potential energy of water to kinetic energy to local middle school students. The volunteers had a great time and hopefully opened up the minds of future engineers and scientists.
Our chapter presenter last month was NC A & T's own Dr. Jerry Nave. He presented a very interesting program about Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs.) The meeting was well attended by a large contingent of students from the university.

When I arrived at school in the morning I saw Miss Smith and Mrs Pageot with buckets, food colouring and cornflour. Miss Smith told us to come and sit on the floor, once we were all on the floor Miss Smith told some people to get some water in the buckets. We added the ingredients in the buckets to make slime. We put lots of water in one bucket and not as much in the other bucket. Then we mixed them together and tipped them over mr Anderson I wonder why mr Anderson wanted slime tipped on him. My learning for gathering data is multistructural. My inferring learning is unistructral because I don't know a lot about what it is.
Science journal 2: balloon rocket
We went outside and found a spot to put up some wool for our balloon rocket. We attached a straw and taped the balloon to it, then we blew up the balloon and let it go. It didn't go forward but it spun around on the spot using the force of the air coming out of it. My group decided to move spots. In our new spot we went through the same steps but this time the balloon traveled to about halfway and then we had to pack up.
I think I am at multistructural on the rubric.
Science journal 3: balloon rocket again
The teachers explained why we were doing the balloon rocket again it, was because this time we were going to use fishing line instead of wool . We went outside but this time we tied the string on a slope and we recorded what the balloon did this time the balloon much further. I wonder why the balloon went further on the fishing wire. I think I am multistructural on the gathering data rubric. My learning is at multistructural for inferring.
Science journal 4: Trebuchet
This week we have been observing a catapult, it's name is a Trebuchet. It has a bucket that holds fishing weights and it has a big arm and you pull down the arm and it is held down by a small nail and you pull the nail out to fire it.
I was surprised when the ball fired so far the first time. When we had all the weights in I was surprised that it went so much further than the first ball. I think my learning is relational.
Science journal 5: Trebuchet vs Onager
This week we have been studying the trebuchet and the onager and we have found out what is the same and different.
We found out that the onager is powered by torsion and the trebuchet is powered by gravity. The trebuchet is a lot bigger than onager and it fires a lot further than the trebuchet. The onager is faster and more powerful than the trebuchet. The trebuchet has a higher arch than the onager because it has a longer arm than the onager.
As there are differences we found out that they are both are designed to do some heavy damage. They both are made to smash through walls with stuff like boulders and occasionally objects that can be set on fire but the onager is made to take down walls while the trebuchet is made to go over walls. We used tennis balls and they both went for around 30 meters. Both also have a sling, a place for the projectile to sit.
In conclusion we found out that there were a lot of similarities and lots of differences. I wonder if the onager and trebuchet would be designed differently now days?
This week we have been working on 3 different types of projectiles.The 3 types of projectiles the first one is angle launchers, slingshot rocket and the final one is flipping frogs.
Slingshot rocket
On one of the activities we made slingshot rockets we made them out of masking tape, paddle pop sticks, elastic bands paddle pop sticks, straws, paper clips, blue tack and cardboard. I found that it went a lot further when you flick your wrist as you fire it, because if you don't flick your wrist it gets caught in the elastic band.
Angle launchers
So this week and the previous weeks,we have been testing a projectile launcher called the angle launcher. The angle launcher like in its name,it has to have an angle and there is a mini firing stick. The angle launcher go up to 90 degrees as it's max angle which practically means if you put it on 90 degrees it will go straight up. My group has been recording its best length. My group decided that we shouldn't count of where it rolls so we decided that we should just measure of where it lands instead. To load it you would have to put the ball in the angle launcher and then there was a stick that you would have to push it in and there was 3 options, the first one was to push it into short distance, the second option was to put it into medium distance and the last option was to put it into long distance. The forces that were acting on it was a push force to load it and a push force to launch the projectile.
Flipping frogs
Another thing we did was making our own frogs powered by elastic potential energy they can made simply. There is a rubber that builds up elastic potential energy to make the frogs fly in the air, the elastic potential energy is builds up by the rubber band stretching, when let go the energy goes onto the cardboard making friction then gravity makes the frog fly up, I wonder why the drag does not make the frog on the ground? Other thoughts, does making the frog smaller make the frog go higher? does changing the cardboard, rubber band or strength make the frog go higher?

Rocky Hill, CT – A Torrington man who went on social media to pitch his side businesses after an on-the-job injury supposedly rendered him unable to work was recently arrested and charged with illegally collecting Workers' Compensation benefits.
RICKEY FLOWERS, age 44, of 817 South Main Street, Torrington, was arrested by Inspectors from the Workers' Compensation Fraud Unit in the Office of the Chief State's Attorney on a warrant charging him with one count of Fraudulent Claim or Receipt of Benefits.
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Flowers received more than $5,800 in Workers' Compensation benefits after reporting a work-related injury in March 2017 while lifting an armoire at the Torrington furniture manufacturing business where he was employed.
An investigation showed that from May to August of 2017, Flowers actively advertised several businesses on his Facebook page including cleaning and carpentry services while collecting Workers' Compensation, the warrant states. Video surveillance showed him moving and working in direct contradiction to his claims of being unable to perform any work, the warrant states.
Flowers was released on a $10,000 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear in Torrington Superior Court, G.A. No. 18, on February 6, 2018. The charges are merely accusations and he is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Fraudulent Claim or Receipt of Benefits in excess of $2,000 is a class B felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. The case will be prosecuted by the Workers' Compensation Fraud Control Unit.

60 Cheers For Bazuaye-Ekwuyasi's Humanitarian Services
I AM indeed very privileged to write this tribute on behalf of the numerous friends who have benefitted immensely from the clinical efficiency, methodological meticulousness and generosity of spirit of Dr. Alex Enoma Bazuaye-Ekwuyasi who is the Medical Director, Consultant Physician and Chest Specialist at his own Humanity Hospital, in Warri. Indeed, as a creative scholar, a gifted practitioner, a hardworking and an outstanding former Senior Registrar, department of medicine at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, we thank Almighty God for his life as he celebrates his four decades of his long and distinguished career at 60 years old today.
As a research associate (academic staff) department of medicine, Cardiothoracic Centre, Free Man Hospital, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, but also as an accomplished administrator, he was the chief executive officer and medical director of humanity family health foundation as well as a member, board of director, Edo State Hospital Management Board. As a Consultant Physician and Head of Department of medicine, Central Hospital Benin and Warri, where his tenure heralded the establishment of new departments, Dr. Bazuaye-Ekwuyasi became member, Nigerian Thoracic society as well as that of British Thoracic society and was a fellow, West African Post-graduate Medical College in 1990.
A man of little words, his understated calmness and dignified quiet demeanour, covered a strong will and character; integrity, principle and selflessness. These were the hallmarks of the leadership qualities he possessed when he established his Humanity Hospital in Effurun in 1992. His brilliance as a scholar and hardworking student paid off when he was awarded the then Bendel State Government's scholarship to read Clinical Medicine at the prestigious University of Benin School of Medicine in 1976.
All of us as his patients at his Humanity Hospital recall with nostalgia his trademark of immaculately clean suits and generous smiles; he was and is conscientious and cared for us his patients. He was always available, extremely patient and courteous to all. He simply took unselfish pride in the attainment of excellent health recovery of his patients. He organised free medical screening exercise for the poor and downtrodden for chronic obstructive lung diseases twice a year at his hospital.
Born on July 31, 1955, Enoma was educated at the Holy Trinity Grammar School, Sabongidda-Ora, Edo College, Benin City and the University of Benin. His previous working experience include: Senior House Officer, Senior Registrar at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital; he was consultant physician and head of department of medicine at the Central Hospital, Warri in 1991. He belongs to medical professional bodies like: member, association of physicians of Nigeria; pioneer chairman, association of general and private medical practitioners of Nigeria, Delta State branch, and past chairman, Nigerian Medical Associations, Warri Zone, Delta state.
His honorary awards and decorations include: Justice of Peace, Delta state; listed in Who is Who in Nigeria; Papal Knight of Saint Sylvester; merit award, University of Benin alumni association; Warri Zone. He has written well over 10 original academic publications in international learned journals. For the past five years, he has been an associate professor in school of medicine at Igbinedion University, Okada. He also belongs to membership of church societies in the Catholic denomination: Supreme Physician, Knight of Saint Mulumba, Nigeria; member, Warri Catholic diocesan finance committee; chairman, diocesan board on natural family planning; member, Sacred Heart of Jesus and immaculate Heart of Mary society and vice-president, association of Papal Knight and Medolist, Benin ecclesiastic province.
Alex is married to Dr. (Lady) Anne Bazuaye and they have five lovely daughters. Anne runs a secondary and primary school, in Warri called New Era Model School. In their community service, therefore, Alex and Anne open the doors of their hospital and school to the poor and the weak; the meek and the gentle; the wretched and the downtrodden people of Nigeria. That is why God will always continue to bless them abundantly because they have touched so many people's lives. For example, in my daughter's recent wedding, Alex and Anne were one of the pillars of support God used to make the wedding a huge success. Apart from community service, they both are involved in marriage counselling, family planning and family health education. Sixty hearty cheers to you on your birthday, Alex.
• Prof. Awodiya is of the Department of Theatre Arts and Mass Communication, University of Benin; he is on Sabbatical at Osun State University, Ikire Campus.

text: This book, the first in a series by the internationally-known and scholar Lee Thayer, addresses the centrality of relevance in people's health and lives. It is not about what is relevant to us, but to whom or to what we are relevant. Loss of relevance leads to the degeneration of mental and then physical health. Those who do not feel relevant to their world are the people who do violence to other people, or to themselves. How and why this feeling of relevance to others and to the world affects our lives, and thus the lives of others, is thoroughly explored and documented. The concept of relevance should be the most basic concept in theory of psychology, sociology, anthropology and the therapeutic industries.
