I started AFDEC because of a problem that l faced with a Nigerian tailor. Shortly before my wedding, l had my already bought wedding gown sitting in the wardrobe, waiting for the best day of my life. But a few days to my wedding, l realised that the gown had become loose because l had lost weight from running around in preparation for the day. So, l decided to find a tailor to help with amending the gown to make it look fit on me because I wanted to look very beautiful on my pre-planned day. It was only a short period from the day and l got a recommendation for a very trusted tailor who could do the job. They took the job with a huge price attached. But the gown is very special; l had to make a 70 percent deposit for the job to be done within the two weeks collection date given to me. I complained that the collection date would be a day to my wedding ceremony but they assured me that there won’t be any disappointment. So, I got there with my best lady to collect the gown on the date l was given, but to my amazement, the gown was only opened and nothing was done fix it as promised. It was few hours to my wedding; every other thing is ready except my gown. Then, l started crying. I wept bitterly and helplessly because it was only a few hours to my wedding. In my effort to solve the problem, l searched online for a directory to help me but l found none. So, l started going from one location to the other searching for a good tailor that could help me out. I visited nine tailoring shops that turned down the job because of the complexities of the sowing and the limited time available to do a good job. I was actually going by foot because there was no one to tell me exactly where to get help. I eventually got to the business hub around Ikeja (under bridge) around 6pm, still weeping. It was there that a passer-by who noticed l was crying asked what the issue was with me. And she said there was one woman down the street if l don’t mind. We got there eventually and saw the woman in a tiny, dirty shop. No lightening in the shop and the woman was surrounded by three little children begging for her attention. We doubted her ability to fix the gown but she assured us she would get it done if we could wait. We waited till 12am the dawn of my wedding day. She fixed the gown very well and it fitted perfectly after she had done all the necessary corrections and amendments. I had the wedding and everything went well. Then two weeks later, l went with a gift to thank her because she saved me from embarrassment and shame. But l met the shop locked and l later got to know that she had been evicted from the shop by the landlord because she could not pay her rent. I tried searching everywhere for her to no avail. And because l failed to ask for her name when we met the first and only time, l adopted the name ‘Ada’ for her. The last thing people in that vicinity knew about her was that she was sick and she could not pay her rent and so she was thrown out. I felt very bad because someone like her that is so talented and very creative could not be liberated from poverty by the skill which she possessed. And so, l decided to look for this Ada by looking for people that are similar to her to empower them.
How did you start the empowerment programmes you do today?
The first workshop l organised was called ‘give her a push’. Remember, the essence of that workshop was to find the Ada. I wanted to gather 100 creative women, fashion designers, crafts and accessories manufacturers in Lagos who needed support for their business. I did a small goggle form which l posted on my Facebook and within three days, l got 2,700 applications. That was how l knew that there are so many Adas outside there who are creative but need help. They need to learn how to make a livelihood out of their talents and creativities. After that training which l did with my personal fund, l was able to identify the problems. After that l did ‘Needs Assessment’ to be able to put the needs in perspective.
What are your findings about the small and medium size enterprises in Nigeria’s creative industry?
We have been able to find out that that though a lot of them have the talent and are very creative, they still struggle and wallow in poverty. We discovered that they need to know how to convert their creativity to making money to live a good life and come out of poverty. We need to help them to help themselves and also help their families. I know that if that Ada had the skill to be able to manage her business well, she will make profit and shedren and help end poverty. That was how the journey of AFDEC actually started. It started some six years ago in 2015.
So far, we have empowered more than 4,000 women across Nigeria. After the first programme which we called ‘give her a push’, we got women asking for how to connect to share experiences and knowledge. In response to their yearnings, we decided to create a WhatsApp group which has grown over the years to about 3,000 women community across Nigeria and Sub-Sahara Africa. We have a community of women running MSME Fashion Enterprises. We engage people in fashion and other related businesses. We have garment manufacturers, accessories which include shoe, bag, leather works in the group. We call the group the AFDEC Family. It is where women come to learn, exchange contacts, get recommendations, and mentorship among other benefits.
How do you get funding for your trainings?
So far, l have funded all our activities with my personal money. Family and friends have been very supportive too.
No funding partners or organizations?
We do not have any. It’s been my personal fund up until the last international women’s day when we got recognition through an agency.
What are the things AFDEC is doing to help its trainees make a living out of their vocation?
Basically we engage in trainings and also show our trainees the business side of their vocations. It’s one thing to learn how to make garment or manufacture accessories and it’s another thing to know how to turn it into a profit venture. The aspect of the business side is where most of our women miss it. They are so passionate about new creations but forget they also need to sustain themselves from their talent. So, we teach them book keeping, customer service, business law. They learn how to attract clients and sustain them. They also learn from us how to be globally competitive. It’s only by competing globally that you can leverage your business. So, we believe if your business is standardized, you can compete globally and also make money as small business ventures outside the oil and gas industry are taking their place in the world economy today. You can earn foreign exchange and gain global relevance through your small business today if you do the right thing. So, we believe that the business side of fashion is very important. We teach our women how to position their business very well to We teach them how to use virtual assistance to push their business because most of the MSMEs cannot afford most of the services they need to become sustainable; we make the services available in our community for them on a group basis.
What additional services do you offer to the people in your community?
We provide access for international linkages like travels and networking. We give them the backup they need to access grants for their business. We stand as referees for them. We give them access to global information about what they need to know to grow their business. We have credit and thrift society where we save money together and give out loan. We do personal and business projects collectively as women too. Through our cooperative, many women in our community have become disciplined with their savings and learnt how to manage money better.
Are there evidences of impact that your organization have made on its people, especially in the area of helping them to convert passion into money?
Yes. We have loads of testimonies of people who were not making money before they joined our community. Some of them got inspired seeing fellow women, doing the same thing they are doing and making a living from it. They are motivated to spur themselves to go out of their ways to also make money from what they have passion for. We have seen a lot of testimonials from transformed businesses. A lot of our women have been able to separate their businesses from themselves and run them properly as a business with good structure. Many have moved from running unregistered business to one that is properly registered as we also render assistance in that area.


August 2, 2017 Medshop Editor
2 percent of Australia’sOf those Australians, one in three takes medication. The other two suffer uncontrolled blood pressure.
That’s heaps of pressure on one island. Since we can’hat?) medical professionals have to continue to try to educate Australians about the imminent dangers of untreated high blood pressure. We’ve come too far since ancient humans to do nothing about it.
While theories existed thousands of years beforehand, it’s only been in the last several hundred years humans have had the ability to measure blood pressure. Just in time too.
The longer humans live on Earth, the more valuable we find this information. Blood pressurone’s health.
Measuring it has been the great work of a few notable researchers.
Hales wasn’t the first to talk about blood pressure. The ancient Chinese and Greeks theorized how the circulatory system worked. Only, they couldn’t prove any of it.
In 1733, Stephen Hales found a way to prove the existence of blood pressure, albeit via a crude methodology. Using a horse, because what human would subject herself to this, Hales inserted a glass pipe into the horse’s artery.
There, one could observe the pressure of the blood in the tube as it fluctuated. Thankfully, we didn’t consider the issue closed at that point.
’s arteries… Thank you, but no thank you, Mr. Hales.
Hales’ observation remained interesting but worthless in the field until Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, a French physicist, and physiologist invented the haemadynamometer.
Prior to Poiseuille, there was no way to measure the variances in the pressure. He created a mercury manometer, which could measure the rise and fall of blood pressure.
The problem was, Poiseuille’s system, like Hales’, was also invasive. He would insert a thin hollow tube into an artery. At the other end was the mercury manometer.
Humans had been using manometers since the 1600s to measure pressure in other applications, but Poiseuille was the first to apply it to blood pressure.
With each pulse, the pressure of the patient’s blood would move the mercury level. One could measure that displacement to find a benchmark for pressure.
In 1847, a German physician and physiologist, Carl Ludwig added the kymograph to Poiseuille’s design.
Ludwig’s kymograph used a floating pen positioned on a revolving drum to track the movement of the mercury. The result was a wave chart, one that would, in theory, be more accurate than previous measurements.
Again, the instrumentation required punching a hole in the patient’s body, into an artery no less. This was not a marketable idea.
It would be another decade before something better came along.
[caption id="attachment_6637" align="aligncenter"] Etienne-Jules Marey | britannica.com[/caption]
In 1855, a French scientist, Etienne-Jules Marey built on a developing concept of a noninvasive system for measuring blood pressure.
The popular theory at the time was that doctors could be able to measure the counter-pressure required to stop a patient’s circulation.
Marey did so by putting the patient’s arm into a sealed glass container filled with water.
He would increase the water pressure until he could detect no circulation in the lower arm. That would be the systolic pressure.
It was crude and wet, but non-invasive.
Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch
For three decades, Marey’s water filled tank was the least-invasive way to measure blood pressure, a lab trick, not much more practical for the field that pushing a glass tube into the patient’s artery.
In 1881, Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch, an Austrian-Jewish physician living in Mexico, cleaned up this idea.
Most historians credit von Basch as the creator of the first sphygmomanometer. He put a water-tight bag around a manometer bulb, placed it over the wrist of his subject, filling the bag with water until the pulse stopped.
Then, by releasing the pressure he could measure the counter-pressure via the mercury in a manometer connected to his device.
Von Basch’s device only measured systolic pressure, but it was the most user-friendly system yet"] Korotkoff Sounds | slideshare.net[/caption]
A small, but important augmentation to von Basch’s design came from the French cardiologist in 1896, Pierre Potain. He used air instead of water in the compression bag.
Then, a man named Scipione Riva-Rocci changed the bag of air, wrapping it around the arm of the patient, inflated by an attached bulb.
Riva-Rocci would inflate the arm wrap until he could no longer determine a pulse. When he released the pressure, the amount by which the mercury manometer moved was the systolic measurement.
In 1905, Nikolai Korotkoff identified what we call the Korotkoff sounds. He figured out by listening to different sounds in the arteries, he could measure both the systolic and diastolic pressure of the circulatory system.
His method is the one which all medical professionals learn to this day.
Managing blood pressure for most Aussies comes down to lifestyle. It’s our diets, but our stress levels too. A doctor is the best resource for treatment, but common recommendations address diet, exercise, and more recently meditation.
In more serious scenarios, medication can help.
Hopefully, all humanity’ecked?

One of the main attractions of colored gemstones is, of course, color. The most valuable colored stones are those with vivid and intense color, such as ruby, emerald and sapphire. However, sometimes a jewelry design calls for a white or colorless gem. When diamond is not practical or cost-effective for the design, the colored gemstone world offers a number of interesting white alternatives.
When small pieces are needed for side stones, the most popular melee is white sapphire. With its excellent hardness (9 on the Mohs scale) and high refractive index, sapphire can be an acceptable substitute for diamond. It can usually be found in sizes ranging from 2 mm, in both round and square shapes.
While sapphire is by far the most common white gemstone in small sizes, there are a number of choices in larger stones. The most common options are sapphire, zircon and topaz. White sapphire can be found in sizes up to several carats in a wide range of shapes: heart, princess-cut, marquise, oval and trillions are common. Round white sapphires usually command a premium, particularly in calibrated sizes.
White zircon is a brilliant gem with a high refractive index. Before the introduction of diamond simulants like cubic zirconia, white zircon was often used as a diamond replacement. Though not quite as hard as sapphire, white zircon is more affordable. The same is true for white topaz. When a white gemstone is needed in a large size - over 5 carats - topaz is the obvious choice. White topaz can often be found at prices under $10 per carat, even in stones weighing over 10 carats.
There are also some lesser known colorless gemstones that offer interesting alternatives. The white beryl known as goshenite hass suitable for all kinds of jewelry. Although it does not have as high a refractive index as sapphire or zircon, it has very good clarity. In fact, goshenite was once excellent transparency. Another rare colorless gem is danburite. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5, danburite is also durable enough for rings. Since it has a refractive index about the same as tourmaline, it can be faceted with good results.

Today’s run was different from my others in a few ways:
1. I didn’t have a set distance I wanted to run.
2. I didn’t have a set pace I wanted to run. (tempo/easy pace)
3. I didn’t read anything.
It was the closest I have ever come to running totally free. I did wear my iPod Nano, but that was only because I wanted to know how far I ran. I only checked in twice for my distance, and I felt a little guilty about it. I told myself that I would be happy if I ran 3 miles without stoping. I had covered up the display on my treadmill, so I didn’t know how long I had run. I couldn’t even tell the passing time from the sunrise because our sun stays in bed until around 9:30am here.
The first time that I checked my time/distance was at the 2.7ish mile marker. The second time that I checked it was 4.5ish. You could have knocked me off my treadmill with a feather when I saw that I had ran 4.5 miles, and not just because I tend to trail off to the right anyways.
So what did I think about for those thirty-eight minutes? Well a lot of things.
1. Should Dear Hubby and I go somewhere for Spring Break?
2. Oatmeal or Luna Bar for breakfast?
3. What is the next book that I should read?
4. Formulating lesson plans for my high schoolers who are reading Othello right now.
5. What outfit will I wear to school today?
6. I think I have to pee?
7. I should have chewed on gum during this run.
8. Sang the lyrics to the Grey’s Anatomy soundtrack from the musical episode
9. I should start looking up the registration dates for some of the Michigan half-marathons
10. Is there a new Glee tonight?
11. Dance Moms isn’t such a bad show; I’m not going to be one of those moms when I put my kids in sports and activities.
12. I wish I could paint that one spot on the wall that’s discolored.
13. I hope the car starts today.
14. What if we had to walk all over the place? I would have calves the size of pumpkins.
15. I think I’ll make pasta for dinner.
And then I was done. I wasn’t sore, I wasn’t exhausted, I wasn’t cranky, I wasn’t depleted, I wasn’t sorry. It was nice.
Question of the Day: What goes through your mind as you workout?
I’m a total nerd. My friends and I keep a shared Google doc to log our workouts. When I’m running, I usually think of something goofy I can write on there about my run that will make my friends laugh.
I have never used Google docs. I think I need to kick my butt and get to learning that. Sounds like a useful tool.
Wow. That sounds so nice… I wish I could be more of a “free” runner. Maybe I’ll give it a shot one of these days. 🙂
I won’t lie, I don’t know how often I can do that on a treadmill. I am eagerly looking ahead to outdoor runs again.
I ran 13 miles Saturday, and all I could think about was Sundays MSU vs. U of M game, and Lays potato chips. I do t know what the chips thing was about, but incidently, they were on sale at Meijer, and yes, I did buy some.

Glassware from the S.S. Northwestern. Museum at Campbell River photo
LOOKING BACK: The S.S. Northwestern – The story of two pieces of glassware
By Beth Boyce, Curator,
When looking at this pink, frilly glassware, you do not immediately think “Shipwreck.” However, this delicate candy dish and vase were recovered from the wreck of the S.S. Northwestern, an incident that has become immortalized in Campbell River’s early history.
The waters to the south of Cape Mudge have long been recognized as hazardous. The combination of the tides and the shallow shoals off the cliffs make for a dangerous mix, especially in stormy weather. A lighthouse installed at Cape Mudge in 1898 in recognition of these dangers had reduced the number of shipwrecks. However, it could not prevent the S.S. Northwestern running aground during a particularly violent winter snowstorm in 1927. The Northwestern was bound for Alaska, laden down with passengers and supplies for the Christmas season, when it went aground just off Cape Mudge in the early hours of December 14.
Although the weather kept rescuers from accessing the ship for nearly eight hours, the 187 passengers and crew were rescued without incident. They were taken to the Willows Hotel where they were accommodated, fed and fêted with a dance at the Lilelana Pavilion while they waited for a steamship to take them safely back to Seattle.
Locals hid their rescued goods from officials who threatened to search all the homes in the region for contraband. Canned goods were hidden under floorboards and behind walls, while the perishable items such as oranges, made slightly salty by their swim in the sea, were immediately enjoyed. It was remembered fondly by Quadra Islanders as one of the best Christmases.

My son, daughter-in-law and 4 year old grandson took me to their favorite Korean restaurant in Arlington, Va. (my grandson has a sophisticated palate) when I was last visiting them. I LOVED THE FOOD!So when I saw that a Korean restaurant was opening in Asheville and not too far from Applewood Manor,I could hardly wait. I read a review in the local Citizen Times right after they opened their doors…it was a bad review complaining of slow service and so on, I am sure it did not help their business!
Just this week Larry and I found the time to go on a date and we elected to give the Korean House on 122 College Street and try it for ourselves. The interior is very clean with stained wood tables and chairs, yet warm. There are huge stainless steel overhead vents for all the tables bordering the side of the restaurant. These are set up for the eventual brassier cooking of meats. As of yet they are not allowed to cook in that manner by the health department……
We ordered an appetizer of Yaki Man Du (pan fried dumplings) and they were to die for!
You can go to www.koreanhouseNC.com and view their menus. I found the place delightful and the food so tasty, fresh and colorful. Well worth experiencing!

Whence.
In this Chapel Hill, NC custom home, a generous kitchen flows freely into the great room for aesthetic appeal and easy movement. The home owners planned to spend time cooking in the kitchen while helping their kids with homework at the eating bar. After the meal, they planned to relax in the great room, enjoying the music of their grand piano (placed in the open book case pictured to the left).
Wainscot columns were added to give the rooms a visual divide, which is more pleasing to the eye.
The home owners wanted a bit more separation between rooms, without losing distinct lines of sight. In this kitchen design, you can prepare meals alone or as a group - without losing contact between family and guests. The space accommodates all entertainment styles.
Second, decide the overall design theme of your open rooms. Since you've chosen a free-flowing floor plan layout with visibility to multiple areas at one time, it's all about choosing the colors, styles, and features that will add coherent, dynamic presence to each room.


I really loved Debra’s NA novel, Keep You From Harm, so when I saw Like Candy available for download, I immediately requested it. Her writing is so engaging and pulls you in immediately from the first page. Like Candy was no different.
I was actually surprised by a lot of Like Candy. It’s blurbed as a revenge story and while Candy has her moments of pranks and plots of revenge, it’s not the main plot of the book. It’s actually quite confusing, because the plot was. Is it her move? The Romance? The mystery behind Jonah and her father? Answer – it was kind of all of the above.
Candy has such a refreshing voice. She kind of reminds me a lot of myself; in that I do what I want attitude and the whole “get back at those who burned you.” Yet – she has this big heart but doesn’t wear it on her sleeve for everyone to see. She also owns a lot of what many girls do in looking for attention, mainly as a distraction to her own problems. Basically, she doesn’t always live by the “rules” or do things the conventional way, but she owns it.
As far as the romance goes – well. It’s important but not on many levels. I say this because of everything that unfolds in the end, their feelings for each other and Jonah’s secret must play a HUGE part in the next book. Which by the way, you might want to have in your hands after finishing Like Candy because the cliffhanger is a DOOZY! But I digress. I liked Jonah. There were moments when I thought I didn’t, because he was hot and cold a lot and that irritates me to high heaven. But again, THAT ENDING. Things make a little bit more sense.
Have you read Like Candy? If so, what did you think?
Hadn’t heard of this one. From what you say about Candy, it sounds like I’d like herWhy Reading & Blogging are the Perfect Hobbies! Let’s Discuss.


Cattle feeders may be stationary or mobile, single- or double-sided, individual or group. Feeders with stationary distributors differ in shape and size, depending on whether the distributing conveyor passes inside or outside the feeder. feeding calves. Individual feeders for feed concentrates are used at milking plants. The concentrates enter the feeder from a hopper operated mechanically, manually, or automatically according to the milk yield. Feeders of the cowhouse. Also manufactured are sections of feeders for one or two animals, which are supplied to the farm together with other building items.
Feed troughs and pans, used for poultry up to ten days old, can accommodate 35-40 animals at a time. K-ll hoppers are used to supply dry feed to broilers. Adult chickens and turkeys obtain dry feeds from K-12 hoppers, which are larger and have a greater capacity than the K-ll and can accommodate 35-40 animals. Feeders for caged laying hens are built into the cage, and in batteries they form continuous troughs. They are loaded by moving multilevel distributors or conveyorsides. Stm.h..

a device for even and regulated feeding of bulk and piece loads from bunkers, feed chutes, magazines, and other loading devices into transporting and processing machines, such as lathes, mills, and screens. Feeders ar(Figure 1, a-e) are analogous in design to certain types of conveyors; unlike conveyors, however, they have short lengths and more powerful driving motors. The first group includes belt, apron, screw, shaking, and vibrating feeders.
The output of feeders is regulated by changing the speed of the feeder’s drive and the size of the discharge opening in the bunker. In vibrating feeders it can also be regulatoscillations.
(1) In radio and microwave engineering, a transmission line or device a source to a consumer in transmission and distribution systems. Feeders are used chiefly in radio transmitting and receiving engineering, but they also find application in wired broadcasting.
Feeders may be shielded or unshielded. The latter include single-conductor lines in the form of a metal wire or strip, twin-conductor and multiconductor lines comprising a system of wires (a variety of twin-conductor line is the asymmetrical strip transmission line), dielectric wave guides, and quasi-optical refracting and reflecting lines (seeQUASI OPTICS). Shielded feeders include single-conductor and multiconductor shielded lines, for example, radio-frequency cable and symmetrical strip transmission lines, as well as metal wave guides. The basic advantage of a shielded feeder is that the field of the propagated wave is free from external influences, particularly atmospheric effects.
The selection of a feeder design depends on the operating frequency of the source. Thus, unshielded and shielded wires are usually used in the frequency range from 3 kilohertz to 3 megahertz; coaxial cables, from 3 megahertz to 3 gigahertz; metal and dielectric wave guides, from 3 gigahertz to 300 gigahertz; and quasi-optical lines, above 300 gigahertz.
(2) In electric power engineering, distribution cables and aerial transmission lines (usually carrying 6 to 10 kilovolts) are also called feeders.


Only consider public art opportunities that are important and relevant to your arts practice. I see too many proposals which do not reflect the artist's concerns or look like a proposal that has been submitted because there is the opportunity and related duty to 'look for work'. While I deeply sympathise with the need to gain paid opportunities, such proposals do not come across with any conviction.

After three months at Cincinnati Children's, Marquis Davis and his family are finally celebrating his homecoming in Lexington, Ky. When Marquis was first transferred to Cincinnati, the 10-year-old heart transplant patient was given a slim chance of survival.
Born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Marquis received a new heart in 2005. But last November, Marquis experienced a life-threatening rejection.
Dr. Clifford Chin, dldren's, explained that even after many years, rejection is the top cause of problems with any transplanted organ.
Rather than perform a second transplant, Dr. Chin decided to give Marquis' heart a chance to rest and rebuild. Among other treatments, Marquis was given medicine to address the stiffness of his heart muscle after the trauma, and he was placed on a left ventricular assist device.
Marquis is home now and hopes to return to school soon.


Subjects: Cost and cost analysis; Gastrointestinal disease; Genetic counseling; Genetic testing; Health care economic and organization
Abstract: Background: We estimated the cost-effectiveness of universal DNA screening for Lynch syndrome (LS) among newly diagnosed patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) followed by cascade screening of relatives from the Swiss healthcare system perspective. Methods: We integrated decision trees with Markov models to calculate incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year saved by screening all patients with CRC (alternative strategy) compared with CRC tumour-based testing followed by DNA sequencing (current strategy). Results: The alternative strategy has an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of CHF65 058 compared with the current strategy, which is cost-effective according to Swiss standards. Based on annual incidence of CRC in Switzerland, universal DNA screening correctly identifies all 123 patients with CRC with LS, prevents 17 LS deaths and avoids 19 CRC cases, while the current strategy leads to 32 false negative results and 253 LS cases lost to follow-up. One way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses showed that universal DNA testing is cost-effective in around 80% of scenarios, and that the cost of DNA testing and the number of invited relatives per LS case determine the cost-effectiveness ratio. Conclusion: Results can inform policymakers, healthcare providers and insurance companies about the costs and benefits associated with universal screening for LS and cascade genetic testing of relatives.

2. Discourage Outside, Corrupting Influences. We want the people working for us to only consider the information we present to them as being relevant. When people express an interest in something they read about, maybe on the web somewhere, let them know that it is important they "get all the facts" before deciding to learn about it. Have them go looking for examples of companies where these wild, new-fangled ideas have actually worked. When they come back with some examples, make sure they know that these are not really solid examples because they are from outside the industry you are in, or are multi-national, not multi-continental (other way around works as well!) or they are in environments that are regulated differently than the environment we are in or... any number of reasons why "that won't work here." 3. Encourage Engagement. This is important, too. You want them to feel warm-fuzzy thoughts in their tummies when they think of the company. They want them to think, "Wow. The bosses at TLA* really DO have my best interest at heart when they tell me to do something and I'll be rewarded later. I hope I get a pony as my reward." This is particularly effective in large urban areas where the belief that a pony might be the "reward"is a complete impossibility where the large urban area does not permit ponies within the city. The idea is similar to "A rising tide lifts all boats." That is true, as long as the boats in question have plenty of slack where they are tied-up or moored. We want to be certain there is no slack at all for the people doing our bidding team, before the tide starts rising. *TLA: Three Letter Acronym (thanks to Matt Heusser from whom I blatantly stole that concept.)
de-motivation,
Recen
Fact was, the testers were putting in a lot of effort and, frankly not many others were.
The Reminder part: So, talking with another tester I know, she was muttering about a project where the developers just did not seem to care, about deadlines, quality of the project, impact on, well, performance reviews, raises, bonuses, and the like. She looked at me and said "Its like they just don't care!" SO, why is it that some people just, well, are not as deeply into making the project work as others? I don't know. Maybe it depends on what is expected, or what the normal approach is for the shop or company or, whatever. Maybe it depends on the nature of the project leadership. Are people being managed or controlled, compelled.
While what is often called craftsmanship is something that seems hard to find.these days, in some places (maybe many places, I don't know) I remember hearing many people speak passionately about being, well, passionate - as a tester, as a developer, or as whatever it is that each one of us is.
I got to thinking some more Friday night and generally over the weekend about this. When looking for places where everyone is passionate about their work, what does that look like? How do you know when you find it? I used to think I knew. I've worked at places where the majority of people were very passionate about what they did. They wrapped much of their view of their self-worth into their work - so if the project was a success, their efforts were "worth it." Then, I started wondering what a project that was a success looked like. I suspect it rather depends on the software development group's target audience. Are the people who will be using the results of your work all working for the company you are working for? If so, "market" is a hard concept - unless the results of their work, with the new system, improves so much that the company as a whole performs better because of the many long hours and weekends in the office and ... yeah, you get it.
And so, what about the other signs? What about the places where people are not passionate about their work. What do they look like? That's easier to find examples...
People lock into rituals and stay there. Arrive 5 minutes after the "start time"; start laptop/desk-top computer; get coffee; drink coffee, eat breakfast; sign on to network; get more coffee; sign on to email (personal)... etc., leave 10 minutes before official "stop time" to "avoid the rush". Use the, "well, I work a lot of extra hours from home and over the weekend" reasoning. (Oh, laptop is still in the dock on the desk as they are heading home.)
The appearance of work counts more than actually doing work. Lots of reports being filed, status reports, progress reports, papers being shuffled up to leads and supervisors and managers and, of course, process management. This is different than using process as an excuse to not do something. This is taking the literal process and ignoring the intent.
Now, What to Do? If you find yourself working at a shop or department or company that you find described above - where it seems you are the only one who cares - what do you do about it? Ask yourself, "Has it always been this way?" Maybe something changed recently, or not so recently. Maybe the change has been gradual.
Sometimes, it takes you being the one to be burned by this behavior to notice it. Sometimes it has been going on with some people and not others and it is your turn to work with these people and - what a mess.
In the midst of growing economic unrest, the military junta ruling Argentina decided that it was time to more aggressively act to raise patriotic sentiment and firmly grasp a nationalist ambition by regaining sovereignty over this small collection of islands off their coast. It was believed that Britain was unwilling, and possibly unable, to respond militarily to a challenge in the South Atlantic overtask force was dispatched and the Argentine forces in Port Stanley, the capital of the Falklands, surrendered after a string of British victories. Yes, there were a series of blows that hurt the British - two destroyers and two frigates were sunk, along with two other ships that were destroyed, and a number of aircraft. The Argentine forces lost a submarine and a cruiser, a World War Two vintage ship that was sunk by a British submarine, along with scores of aircraft.
Know what the risks are. Know what the likely results are. Know what the possible results are. Know that you can not control everything - and sometimes you can control nothing. Plans are great, as long as you don't expect them to be carried out precisely as they are written. Planning helps us understand what problems may be encounteredOh. One positive thing did come out of this. A really nice pipe tune was written by a bagpiper in the British Army who fought in this campaign.

Performance on the job is crucial, in particular for high-pressure jobs when the tiniest drop in concentration can lead to huge losses or mistakes.
Whilst trading derivatives at Santander, it was imperative to always be full-time focused on the market, in particular when performing a large trade: one had to simultaneously model and give updated prices to the customers whilst listening to six or seven brokers giving market quotes. All of this whilst hedging the customer trade. Sometimes making or breaking it was a question of 1 or 2 seconds: if you missed it, you lost it. And in a market where losing it means being out of a job, you’d better start making it as much as possible if you want to keep receiving your paychecks.
So being able to multi-task was essential and any small mistake or lack of focus could make you lose the trade or even worse, miss the hedge and close the deal already at a loss. One had to be focused, rested and prepared prior to the market opening. So during my time at the Bank, I came across a few performance formulas through different readings and found them very useful tools to keep on the back of your mind.

So, set a timer for 60 minutes and during those intervals, turn off your technology, shut your door and dive—with massive intensity—into the project that matters. Then, recover with a pristine break like walking, listening to music or reading. Just try this protocol for a month and witness the gains.


I fear that increasing Democratic deflection of blame for the results of the presidential election on Russian interference will take away from the necessary self-reflection the Party needs. There is no evidence to show that Putin–nor any other outside actor–interfered with the votes cast. Democratic leaders from all branches and all levels of government must have a meaningful discussion of why so many voters, including many who voted for Obama in both 2008 and 2012, fell out of touch with the party. Why did the "party of the people" suddenly lose the support of their firewall constituency?
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who has taken the role of "de-facto" head of the Democratic resistance following the election, conceded on "Meet the Press" that one of the decisive reasons that Democrats lost in November was a lack of "a sharp or strong enough economic message." Their soon-to-be-announced proposal, he stated, would be "a really sharp-edged, bold, as." But whose strategy is this?Is it Schumer's, who has spent the past 36 years on the Hill?Or is it from the Sander/Warren wing, which has seen growing popularity among the youth and more broadly following Trump's victory?

I suddenly said to Jon the other day that I hadn’t taken any photos of our baby boy with my ‘big camera’ at all recently. Don’t get me wrong, I have taken quite a few photos with it over the summer, but mainly they have been on our two holidays, or day trips we have done, and realistically that means that actually most of the time he isn’t really in them. He is still in that stage where he will quite happily sit in his pushchair (although the pram is becoming redundant by the day as he really doesn’t like lying flat in it anymore!) most of the day when we are out and about, so as such I haven’t taken many photos of him at all.
Sometimes I do find it a bit of an effort to get the camera out when we are at home, which is kind of silly really because it isn’t that much effort at all. With the convenience of iPhone cameras, often I forget to get my DSLR out at home nowadays. I do feel guilty because when LL was born, I had a lot more time to try and set up little mini photo shoots of her, and generally just more time to take photos of her as well. But we are a lot busier now and with two other little people to look after, it means that I am less quick to think about using my big camera. When Jon and I were talking about it a couple of days ago, he said you must try to a little more, as you don’t want to look back and regret it. And that’s the thing. He really is at the most delicious age to photograph. He smiles on cue, he has the biggest blue eyes and he can’t move, which anyone knows is a big thing when trying to take photos of your children. But it’s just another thing about being the third baby I guess.
I have said before that three doesn’t seem to be any harder than two at the moment. Yes it is more manic and yes it is more hectic, but it isn’t ‘harder’ work. All our children bring their own challenges in their own different ways. But combined as a three it doesn’t really feel particularly much harder than two. And there is definitely something about the third baby. I don’t know many people with three, but all the people that I do know say the same. All the third babies I know are super chilled out. I don’t know if that is because they do have to be lugged around a little, or wait that bit longer while their parents tend to the needs of their older siblings, but our little boy seems to be following that pattern down to a tee.
He is the most chilled out baby boy we could have wished for. When he was born I was quite concerned he was going never going to want to be put down, and for the first few weeks of his life he seemed to live on me entirely. But as time has gone on he is just incredibly laid back. He would literally smile at anyone, which in turn means he gets a lot of fuss and attention when we are out and about, as of course people like to ‘win’ a baby smile and feel special for it. He is happy in his pushchair watching the world go by and when we are at home he will sit there and study us intently, taking it all in. He is a gentle soul and a real observer, just watching everything and anyone. He is happy on his mat, or in his chair now, and realistically I know that I can get the bumbo or jumperoo down from the loft for him now, but at the same time I am not wanting to believe that we are ready for those things and at that stage yet.
That’s another thing about the third baby. You know how fast it goes. I feel the passing of time with every single bittersweet step. It’s a bit dramatic, but while it makes me proud and I adore seeing him learning new skills, another part of me wants to cry at how quick it is going. It almost hurts a little to say that he is now four months, for some reason four months seems so much older than three. In a weird sort of way I dread it being the 18th of each month, knowing that we are ticking off that another month has gone by. Weaning is on the horizon and the thought of it makes me get that horrible sinking feeling that feels a little bit like butterflies in your tummy. It’s all just going so quickly.
Being the third means we are in no sort of routine whatsoever. With Mads I was so strict to get her into a routine, with LL I felt a pressure to get her into a routine because I was worried of the implications on Mads if I didn’t. I remember being so strict to get LL into a nap routine as I was so worried that she would wake Mads up from her naps and I didn’t want her afternoon nap to stop. With our baby boy, I know that he won’t affect the girls at all, so we just go with the flow. I know myself recently that I have said I don’t really think I agree with the phrase ‘making a rod for your own back’ or teaching ‘bad habits’ but actually in a way I kind of do. I deep down know that I am probably doing both those things, but at the same time I have hindsight on my side to know that if I do, who cares? We can try something else further down the line. At the moment his sleeping is terrible. Both the girls were sleeping through at this age, but I don’t have the willpower, energy or even inclination to try and stop what we are doing. He wakes up about two (he usually wakes once before that as well) and comes in our bed and I basically hold him tight and if he stirs, which is frequently, I will feed him again. As such I know that I am making it so he can only really be settled by milk and not self settle, but I am so tired that I will do anything for a bit of sleep. I also know that in a years time or even two, when there is a little boy in his own room shouting mama in the morning, I will want more than anything to go back to these days where we snuggled in close just me and him. So for now I am going with the flow and if further down the line we have to try and implement more of a routine, then so be it.
I find it hard to explain, yet I know that most parents will know exactly what I am saying, because of course I love my children exactly the same way, but in different ways. It is hard to put that feeling into words. But I feel with him that he gives me a chance to do it all again. He is our third baby, our bonus baby, and it is almost like the pressure is off. I feel so much more relaxed as a parent, I know that all these stages won’t last forever, and I know how damn quick it goes. So I am just treasuring it, enjoying it, not even wishing the hard bits away, and loving having our son in our lives. In turn (bar the sleep thing), he is rewarding with me with making this journey so damn special. I feel our connection, I sense our bond and I am loving the intensity that comes with having a baby in the house again. I couldn’t love him any more if I tried. Being the third, or perhaps rather, being the last is a very extraordinary thing indeed. You’ve done it twice before so you are more laid back, you know what to expect, you feel you can handle more, yet at the same time doing it for the last time means that you want to take every single second in.
So I finally got my DSLR out and took a few photos of him. Nothing special, nothing too set up, nothing too fancy. I lay him down on the floor and put him on the big muslin blanket that I have had since I was pregnant. I spent ages looking for a blanket with little birds on as we knew from pretty much day one what we were going to call him. And I just took a few simple photos of him. But they are photos which show exactly how he is at this stage in his little life. Those big blue eyes which observe so intently and which are full of love for his Mama, his Daddy and his sisters.
Our third baby. Our bonus baby. Thank you for being ours. Life is  a whole lot more amazing with you in it. I can’t believe we ever thought making the decision to have another one might not be a good idea.
You are the best idea we’ve ever had.

Awww Katie, he is adorable! Time does definitely fly with three. It’s lovely you are making the most of it. xx
Awww, I love him. Such a cutie pie. And I’m sure I don’t even need to say how much I agree with what you’ve written too, I think I’ve loved having a baby most the third time around, it’s just so nice to do it all and feel so relaxed and confident in what you’re doing. x
Oh Katie, What a lovely post! Wren is so adorable and I can really see Lottie in him. I think you do amazingly at taking photos of him, I still can't work out when you are using your big camera or phone as they are all look so professional!! {unless its one of those gorgeous selfies- but again even they look amazing!} I would love a third but I worry about the dynamics of it all and how I would actually cope!!
He is just oh so gorgeous Katie. He really does look so chilled out but I completely agree about how your parenting style changes so much with subsequent children. I’m a second baby and I’m so much calmer than my sister… Wonder if it’s all linked?!
These photos are gorgeous, those eyes! You will definitely treasure these when he is older. I was the same with Holly, I did everything I could to get a bit more sleep. She came in with me, I fed her to sleep just like you. It did improve over time as she got older and she sorted it out herself. We had a long stretch of 1 wake up, a feed and back to sleep. She didn’t go through the night until she was 17 months old, but that’s ok they all do it differently and all get there eventually. I don’t look back and regret anything I did, I loved the snuggly cuddles. You enjoy this time lovely xx
Oh gosh Katie his eyes are just so big and beautiful! You have such a gorgeous little boy. Obviously I don’t know what it’s like to have a third baby, or even a second, but if we did have another I would be the same – wanting to enjoy every second of baby cuddles because I know now how quickly time goes. We didn’t co-sleep with Zach and that is my biggest regret – he is a good sleeper now which I appreciate, but he doesn’t like cuddles, so I feel like I wasted all that time when he was a cuddly little baby getting him used to sleeping on his own xx
Ohhh what a stunning little boy he is. Those photos are absolutely gorgeous <3 I know what you mean about it seeming effort to get the DSLR camera out at home. I find I use mine easily whilst out, but at home it always seems effort! Weird! Your little man sounds like such a chilled and relaxed little baby and from the sounds of it you really are taking it all in! Perfect xxxx
He is so adorable. Those photos are beautiful x
Oh Katie he is just adorable! He seems such a happy and chilled baby, but maybe that’s also because you’re so much more relaxed with him being your third! So lovely to see you all enjoy life as a family of 5 🙂 I’d love to have such a big brood! Best get Tom persuaded, haha.
Not A Frumpy Mum says:
Katie, he is just gorgeous, I love seeing pics of your little man and whilst I’m not a third time mummy I feel a lot more relaxed doing it for the second time. It’s all going a little too fast though, I want to make the most of every minute with him. xx
Gorgeous pictures. I completely agree I love all my children equally but in such different ways it is so hard to explain. A routine will come in time – as you said just treasure these special last moments.
Utterly lovely photos! What a gorgeous smile and I am loving him on Insta stories, you’re making me broody! 😉 xx
Aww he is just so cute!! I’ve always wondered how much of the chilled out third baby comes from having a chilled out third time mum but my Pip is another easy going little one (though also not too hot on the sleep front!) and it makes life so much fun 🙂
He is gorgeous Katie. Your bonus baby is a pretty wonderful idea indeed x
He’s just so gorgeous, those eyes!!! I always forget to get the proper camera out, my phone is so much easier, but I’m now inspired to get it out and take some proper snaps!
Oh he is totally divine and absolutely gorgeous! He was totally meant to be for your family, like a jigsaw piece you didn’t realise was missing xx

I feel like you have took the words out of my mouth. Our little boy Ezra is 10 weeks today. He is our fourth and our last.
There is something special about that for certain, something freeing, but like you describe as you try to savour every last moment, it’s like sand slipping through your fingers.
Like yourself I am so happy that he is becoming more interactive and reaching milestone. However I am desperately sad when I realise he will be six months at Christmas.
I don’t have a DSLR but I am not taking enough photos that’s for sure. I need to get capturing these moments because we never get them back.
Thank you for writing such a beautiful post. I feel so emotional right now , but in a good way.
On a side note I love Wren’s name. I call Ezra ‘my little bird’ because he looks up at me so expectantly. Do what you need to do to be happy. You have an amazing family. Much love to you all 💕
Absolutely gorgeous post and photos as always Katie. I’m wondering how we are going to cope with two and we’ve discussed having three-lol! Enjoy every moment, you’re right a routine can wait, as long as you are all happy and you certainly seem it x
such a little beaut and I love the birdie muslin too – it is perfect for your little bird! Time is flying and it was great you captured him and I am sure in the not so distant futures this will be treasured with those memories!!
I enjoyed reading about the routine thing as I have been laid back with the others over routines but this time, starting this week actually at 6 weeks I am beginning some sense of routine with her which is so different for me and I thought id be more like you and just go with the flow and give her milk when she wanted etc,,, i have fallen asleep feeding too many times though and think I need to train her haha its funny how we do things differently with each of our kids and with what we learn from the others before them x
He is absolutely gorgeous Katie. Enjoy it because I found with each baby the time seems to go faster, it only feels like a few weeks ago I was enjoying night feeds with Arthur, and now he is 3 years old, and he is amazing in every way, but oh how I wish he was still a little baby again. x
Wow – such a lovely blog post. I’ve just caught this via the me and mine link. I’m a mum of 3 and what you have written is exactly how I feel. My baby boy will be 10 months in a few weeks it’s all going far to quickly and he is too just the most chilled happy baby. I too I’m struggling with the nights ! Always nice know I’m not alone in the world! X
Such a lovely post and beautiful photos, as always! Your baby boy is absolutely gorgeous x

The collection features contributions from rhetoric and writing studies; communication studies; speech and hearing; anthropology; and cognitive sociology. In this review, I'll zero in on two of those contributions.
Hengst illustrates this point with "narrative tellings" taken from semistructured interviews and observations of pairs that included an individual with aphasia and one without (p.117). Through descriptions and transcriptions, Hengst demonstrates how the participants combined narrative, gestures, and other symbolic resources (such as a map) to jointly tell stories.
Prior connects this empirical work back to the notion of chronotopic lamination that he had developed earlier with some of the other contributors to this book: "the simultaneous management of multiple social frames and footings as laid out by Goffman ... and Goodwin and Duranti..." (p.228). Here, chronotopes are linked or laminated. Chronotopes can be representational (narrative) or embodied (experiental), but they can also be embedded in affordances, such as when the chronotope of the road is embedded in "such sociomaterial forms as roads, signage, maps, and inns for travelers" (p.228). And "in activity all three of these chronotopic dimensions are necessarily fused" (p.229, his emphasis).
Overall, this was a really interesting and useful book. I haven't done justice to all of the contributors in this review, but the two chapters I have overviewed should give you an idea of what the rest of the book offers. Pick it up!pected to perform comparatively in gym class" (p.70). However, in terms of mental development, it's a different story: students with brain development differences "are expected to perform comparably in terms of executive function-dependent capacities labeled as responsibility, self-organization, self-direction, self-discipline and the like, in order to earn passing grades in most academic classes" (p.70). Such capacities are typically not treated as developmental differences but as "well within the control of the child" (p.71).
And since they are treated this way, "the negative consequences applied to a child not performing up to such standards can be severe, unreasonable, and often uncompromising in nature" (p.71). We wouldn't chastise an 80-pound boy for losing three straight wrestling matches to a 120-pound boy, but parents and teachers do chastise students who don't perform at grade level due to developing executive functions. "School staff does not see the inordinate time and effort the student is placing into completing school work and the strain that this additional effort is placing on the child at home" (p.138). And for many students, "when no specific learning disabilities are identified and ADHD is ruled out ... they are frequently subjected to what amounts to character assassination" (p.138, my emphasis). Poor production is attributed to moral rather than developmental factors: "laziness, apathy,  lack of motivation, overt hostility, or lack of respect for authority" (p.138). These attributions may ease the conscience of instructor or parents, the authors note, but they don't solve the problem—they only exacerbate it (p.139), and they become part of the story the child tells herself about herself. Rather than setting the student on the right path, they morally condemn the student for not doing what they literally cannot do.
Executive functions are "mental capacities that direct or cue the use of other mental processes and/or motor responses" and that "have some link to activation of portions of the frontal lobe regions of the cerebral cortex" (p.38). The authors identify 23 of them: perceive, initiate, modulate/effort, gauge, focus/select, sustain, stop/interrupt, inhibit, flexible/shift, hold, manipulate, organize, foresee/plan (short term), generate, associate, balance, store, retrieve, pace, time, execute, monitor, correct (pp.41-43, with definitions). As the authors note, as the cerebral cortex matures, these capacities can develop socioculturally. And when parts of the cerebral cortex mature more slowly than others in the age cohort, these capacities (such as the ability to focus, organize, or plan) do not develop as quickly, and thus "simple" school activities—such as paying attention, extracting information from a complex reading, or keeping up with one's schoolwork—are far more effortful for the student than for her peers. Yet for the casual observer, these difficulties seem to be of the student's own making: if only they would pay attention, apply themselves, or take the time to think ahead!
As this passage implies, EFs such as "focus" are constructs that describe capacities emerging from the interaction of brain structures (in the case of "focus," these structures likely include the anterior cingulate and the dorsilateral prefrontal cortex) (p.83). The authors overview the likely brain structures associated with all 23 EFs (pp.83-85).
The authors discuss assessment as well, overviewing common EF measures and how they are combined to initiate measurable production decrement cascades (pp.120-122) and production increment cascades (pp.124-125). They note that EF difficulties are often not recognized unless they combine both learning difficulties and production difficulties: when the child has only learning difficulties, these are often not recognized, and when the child has only production difficulties, these are typically attributed to character flaws (i.e., the child is learning, but just doesn't want to do her homework) (p.137).
Fortunately, change is possible: "brain function can be altered through intervention" (p.179): Children can be taught how to activate neural networks to achieve positive goals (p.180). Beyond those interventions, the brain will typically mature: "for many children faced with overly aggressive expectations for brain maturation, a little timelevels of self-direction. For others with more substantial delays, the ultimate solution to the executive difficulties being experienced may simply be much more time" (p.184). How much more? "Children with ADHD typically experience a 30% delay in the development of specific self-regulation capacities"—so if you are waiting for your child to exhibit the self-direction of a 20-year-old, you may have to wait until she is 30 (p.184). That's a long time—but it will happen.

How to Stay Healthy Going Back to School During the Coronavirus Pandemic
With COVID-19 still spreading, experts weighed in on how you can stay safe.
ATeen Vogue's Fear and Learning in America series is exploring what back to school means for students this year, and what they think about learning during the coronavirus crisis.
Students and teachers alike have voiced concerns about returning to a high school or college campus a and those fears have proven to be pretty well-founded: In early August, photos of maskless students standing close together in Cherokee County, Georgia, went viral online; days later, more than 1,200 students and staff members in the county have been ordered to quarantine themselves, the New York Times reported. But with distance learning creating outsized barriers for already marginalized students, and taking an emotional toll in the process, some students may not have a choice in whether or not they return to an IRL classroom.
That depends on many factors, including whether your school is located in a “hotspot” where cases are still trending upwards; how your school is helping students practice social distancing, such as by creating classroom bubbles or adopting a “part-time remote” model; and whether administrators are enforcing widespread mask-wearing as diligently as they do their sexist and racist dress codes.
E. Susan Amirian, PhD, an epidemiologist at Rice University in Houston, Texas, agrees. “In n, schools need to weigh several complicated factors, including: COVID-19 transmission risk; availability of resources to modify the school environment to make it safer; ability to make modifications to schedules, classrooms or buildings before school starts; willingness of everyone involved to cooperate with public health guidelines; and how students, parents, teachers, and staff feel about reopening,” she said.
If your school isn’t being forthright about that information, reach out to your district’s office for further information, and hold them accountable until you receive details that affirm their commitment to your health. And as Amirian pointed out, you are absolutely justified in doing so: “As a student, you should feel empowered to voice your concerns to your school and ask them to provide responses to these concerns,” she said. “Students need to joinmedia by adults, like politicians, medical experts, parents, school administrators, and teachers.”
“No one wants schools to have to stay closed, but if a careful approach is not taken to reopening, this could have consequences for the broader community too.” Amirian said. “If schools are reopened in an area with high community transmission and this results in further spread of COVID-19, then this can easily impact the community where the school is located.”
Bhuyan suggested creating a “what if?” plan if you or a family member does get sick, especially if you live in an intergenerational household. A lot of students, she said, are “not just living with parents, they're living with aunts and uncles and cousins. And these are the homes that are being devastated by COVID,” she said. “For those families, it's important to have a plan for isolation if that student themselves becomes sick: Is there a place that the student can go, is there a place that family members can go, is there a way that they can isolate even within the home from that student?”
My school is already underfunded — what does that mean for going back during a pandemic?
It’s no secret that schools are in desperate need of funding, and a report by EdBuild found that school districts with a majority white student body often have more money to work with than school districts with mostly students of color. That matters, especially given the fact that the pandemic has impacted Black, Latinx, Native, Asian, and other marginalized communities in unique and outsized ways.
“As a society, we need to acknowledge that many of our schools, especially those in more vulnerable communities, are under-resourced and under-funded,” Amirian said, adding that “asking those schools to implement extensive preventive strategies and reopen safely for in-person instruction in the midst of high community transmission is unrealistic, especially if there is no societal commitmento what needs to be done to keep students, staff, teachers, and their families safe.”
And as Bhuyan noted, failure to do so might lead to further disparities between students based on their economic status. “A lot of the safety protocols that school systems need to put into place take resources,” she said. “It's the lower-income schools that don't have as many resources and might not be able to implement those protocols.”
By now, you’re probably a pro at enough distance from other people. And while you might be tired of these protocols, staying committed to these habits may be key in doing your part to slow the spread of the virus. Bhuyan recommended having lunch or hosting a club meeting outside as much as possible, as well as staying home if you’re sick with anything — even if you think it’s just a common cold.
“Before, if somebody had the sniffles or a cough, I know that students would just suck it up and go to class,” she said, stressing that being marked “absent” is a far better option than potentially infecting other people. “Anyone that has fever, even runny nose, cough, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches — all of those could be symptoms of COVID. So it's important to stay at home and make sure that you have access to testing.
What if I can’t avoid crowded hallways or high-traffic dorms?
Many schools aren’t built with social distancing in mind — look no further than that viral image of a packed hallway in Paulding County, Georgia, for proof. It’s because of this that remote learning options provide a safer alternative.

So because of this, we got on the ITX and stood almost all the way. Thankfully, the ride took less than an hour. We asked a couple of ticket inspectors if there might be any problem, and they just said “It’s okay.”
And there, everything started to become confusing. The guards and officers spoke to each other in Korean, and to explain the problem to us, they used Google Translate. You can probably tell how well that worked. The guard who spoke to us tried different permutations of “finished after the situation” — which we didn’t get at all — till he landed on “posthumously released.”
