The most common type of RFEs for H-1B visas relate to specialty occupation requirements
On this page:
Understand what an Expert Opinion Letter is
Learn about different types of Expert Opinion Letters that are used to respond to RFES
H-1B Specialty Occupation RFE
You may need a Specialty Occupation Expert Opinion Letter
Specialty Occupation Request for Evidence
The most common type of Request for Evidence (RFE) that the USCIS issues is a specialty occupation RFE. In a specialty occupation RFE, the USCIS is questioning whether the position and/or beneficiary meets specialty occupation requirements, namely whether the position requires a bachelor's degree or above and whether the beneficiary has met this requirement.
If you received an RFE, take a big breath and relax!
Most H-1B RFEs convert to acceptances. And ProfVal.com can help by providing you with the Expert Opinion Letter and / or academic transcript evaluation that you need.
Sometimes referred to as an H-1B Expert Opinion Letter, a Specialty Occupation Expert Opinion Letter is used to provide supporting evidence that explains whether or why a position would require no less than a certain university degree, typically a bachelor's or master's degree. In some cases, an Expert Opinion Letter may also explain why a beneficiary's degree qualifies the beneficiary for the position.
For instance, imagine that Partha Echambadi has applied for a position as a "Web Developer" with "XYZ Tech Corp" and received a specialty occupation RFE questioning why the position requires a bachelor's degree and why his degree in MIS from Pace University qualifies him for the role. To respond to this RFE, Partha would work with a one of the 100+ esteemed discipline experts associated with ProfVal. In this case, an expert opinion letter from ProfVal written by an MIS or Computer Science Professor would respond to this RFE by writing a Specialty Occupation Expert Opinion Letter:
Explaining why each major duty would require this degree or an equivalent one, assuming that it does
Since this position is consistent with the SOC code of 15-1254.00, the expert would explain why this role is consistent with the requirement of a bachelor's degree. Note: 46% of web developer roles require this degree according to O*Net
Explaining why the degree from Pace University, a fully accredited U.S. university qualifies Mr. Echambadi for this position
This RFE would, in some cases, be slightly more complex if Mr. Echambadi had earned his degree in another country. If this had occurred, he would need an academic transcript evaluation to demonstrate whether his degree was equivalent to a U.S. degree in MIS.
If he did not have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree based on academic experience, he might need a Work Experience Expert Opinion Letter. Let's assume that Partha had 6 years of progressive work experience in web development; based on the 3:1 rule (work experience to academic preparation), his work experience may be deemed as equivalent to 2 years of academic preparation within web development assuming that certain conditions are met.

I’m easily not the lady you should ask for mechanical help… I have no idea how machines work plus I’m not interested in finding out.
I’m a medical writer for a living, plus I easily don’t find myself researching things like indoor air quality or air temperature control in my off-hours; That being said… hastily I’m finding myself getting more plus more proficiencyable about indoor heating, cooling, plus air quality control.
This has only happened because our outdated central heating plus cooling system stopped working about three months ago; At the time, I called the nearest indoor air quality control specialist repair shop plus calmly expected that the indoor temperature would be back to normal in no time. In fact, my pal and I never had enjoyable indoor comfort again. I’ve paid for the local Heating plus A/C repair plus maintenance shop to send out a professional heating plus cooling serviceman at least five times now, however each time, they recommend a recognizable repair for our AC plus heating system, plus I enthusiastically hand over my debit card, problem being, the Heating plus A/C system never seems to be fixed. I finally got sick of this ongoing heating plus cooling disrepair plus started learning about AC plus furnace unit online. That’s when I discovered that the supposed “professional” Heating plus A/C serviceman was doing everything wrong! All the parts that she had installed appeared to be incorrect, according to the online maintenance plus installation guide for our Heating plus A/C system.

Seth Kozak, Damian Veilleux written by: Seth Kozak genre: Drama |
A wealthy man, for largely unknown reasons sets in motion a plan to have his younger wife Catalina killed. When the night in question arrives, her last-minute schedule change sets in motion a game of cat and mouse - between her and the would-be assassin. As Catalina checks into a nearly deserted hotel in an attempt to escape the icy roads for the night, there's little doubt to us viewers that the assassin has checked in as well. Whether she survives the night or not isn't really the point of this short film however. Sometimes, it's all about the journey and "Rendezvous" is at times, quite tense. If you're a fan of the genre, this film clocks in at under 15 minutes, so there's really no reason not to check this one out.
"Rendezvous" is one of those decent films that with a bit of tweaking, could have been so much better. The story itself is more than a little cliche, including the final twist ending, but it's a story that is cliche for a reason. It works almost every time. It works to create and build suspense, and it works as a jumping-off point for motives. In this film, it especially works to help create an uneasy feeling; one that directors Seth Kozak and Damian Veilleux achieve so nicely. When considering everything I'm going to write below, remember one thing. This is an above-average short film and I definitely enjoyed my time with it.
Katarina Morhacova as Catalina puts forth a good performance, laying and maintaining the groundwork the rest of the troupe have put in place, including some pleasantly creepy work from Chris Kerson. However, some of the post-production elements have held this film back. Mainly revolving around some of the stylistic choices made in the editing room. More on that below. Worldbuilding is tough when done through a short film. Getting an audience to see things the way the filmmaker sees them can be difficult with so little length to work with. It's the reason the post process is so damn important, and the reason creating the correct flow and pace can make or break a production. Case in point? "Rendezvous" is jam-packed with fade to black edits and a couple of very awkward transitions. When I say jam-packed with fades, I really mean it and truthfully, almost every single one ripped me out of the film - I even found myself counting them. Fades are generally used sparingly except in highly stylized productions. They are mainly meant to show a major plot point has taken place, not as a straight edit to the next segment. I don't usually link to some of our articles when writing a review, but in this case, we have a very brief breakdown of transitions, right here. On the flipside? I also noticed a few excellent transitions in this film, including one involving a card reader. It may seem like I spent a lot of time with my transitions gripe, but I can't stress enough that they were the biggest single issue I had with this movie. But when it's all said and done? Even they weren't enough to erase the tension "Rendezvous" works to build. The great use of music and background scoring, and the entire setup and location made for a great yarn. I should also note that although the twist ending didn't really surprise me, it still felt so damn good to see. As I wrote above, I enjoyed my time here. Easily, three stars. |

We want to provide a home for the politically homeless. Who are these homeless? They are moderate Republicans, Democrats and independents who are tired of the extremism of the two major parties. We are a party at the center of Utah voters.

While the Fourth of July commemorates the Declaration of Independence, signed in 1776, the fight is far from over. We must continuously strive to maintain the freedoms for which our forefathers fought so dearly, and remember that this country is far more than the policies and issues that make headlines, but it's about the people themselves.
In February of this year, I was invited to join an exploratory group that called itself “Citizens for a Moderate Political Alternative”.
The United Utah Party is barely certified and already it has the potential support of a majority of Utah voters. According to a new poll conducted by Dan Jones and Associates and commissioned by Utah Policy, 63 percent of Utah voters said they were “not very loyal to either major party and would consider voting for a qualified candidate in the [United Utah Party]."

Judge David Nuffer scheduled the actual hearing for July13-14. with a decision quickly after that. The judge also used the session to pose questions about the case. The questions to our attorneys and the state's attorneys expressed the fact that the case was not based on statute, but an executive order. He wanted to know where the provisions of the executive order were based in statute, and he wanted to know what provisions existed in the executive order for any new party to compete.

Learn some tips on basic troubleshooting of your Protos 4400 transmitter as well as the connected Memosens sensor.
The Protos 4400 transmitter provides intuitive diagnostics, which indicates the operating state of your measurement loop. Statuses are clearly indicated via NAMUR NE 107 icons on the display screen. Here you can see that our transmitter display has an X icon flashing. This is an indication that we are in alarm mode and that further messages are available.
By pressing the right softkey to access the Favorites Menu, we can go into the message list to view the errors which we are experiencing. Here we can see several errors which are caused by both channels having disconnected sensors. The errors are indicated by a code followed by a brief description. Further information and tips on fixing the issue are located in the error message section of the transmitter’s manual.
Let’s start by connecting our sensors. When troubleshooting a Memosens sensor, the first place to start is the Sensoface display on the main screen. A smiley face indicates that all is well with the health of your sensor, a neutral face indicates that the sensor needs attendance soon, and a frown indicates that the sensor needs maintenance or replacement. You may also notice additional icons displayed on the main screen further pointing to the issue at hand. Again, the message list will assist you on what to do next.
To further diagnose your Memosens sensor we’ll want to enter the diagnostics menu in the Protos 4400. We will do so by pressing Menu, and then navigating to the right to diagnostics, and pressing enter. Please note that you have the ability to set up any of these options as a favorite. Within the diagnostics menu, we have the option to view the sensor diagnostics for channel one in our transmitter. Here we can view specific sensor information in a text format.
Raw sensor values are accessible under sensor monitor. You can view the calibration and adjustment record here, along with the sensor wear monitor. The sensor wear monitor gives an in-depth look at the number of operating hours on the sensor, the percentage of wear, and most importantly how many days of life we have left on our sensor.
For a quick analysis on the condition of your connected sensor, use the sensor diagram when troubleshooting pH, ORP, and oxygen sensors. The Sensor Diagram provides single glance information on continuously monitored sensor parameters. The parameter values in the diagram should lie between the outer 100% and enter 50%. When a value enters the inner portion of the diagram, the corresponding caption text flashes and you should attend to the sensor.
You may be able to remedy the situation by cleaning and calibrating the sensor, or the sensor may need replacement. If followed properly, these tips will ensure a healthy and reliable measurement loop along with getting the most life out of your sensor.

To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.
I have just bought the PC DVD of SG2, nice Artbook, nice Galaxy Chart, but I have install problems:
Looking at the DVD, it seems that the files are on it in order to install the game, or is this not the case? I see some huge files for about 3-4 GB.
Whatsoever: I have a Steam account, I click the setup.exe, but Steam wants to download a 7.5 GB file, which at my guess will last 5-6 days...
I have then deleted the "Local Content" for the game on Steam and entered this in the Windows Execute:
C:program files (x86)...Steam.exe -install E: ,
then I get a error message saying Connection Timeout or similar.
Can the game be installed from DVD?
Thanks to respond,
Steam downloaded less than a GB when I installed the game from disk and as far as I recall their only been 3 updates to the game since I installed it and IIRC all under the 50MB size with the last one being today which was only 19MB.
thanks for these details. Currently I only have internet connection via USB stick, that's the reason for my extreme low connection speed (also volume limits). Will have to be at home and try again.
Whish you all the good for 2015 and merry :santablack:
You could try installing as you normally would without steam, then copying the files over to the original location as if it was a steam installation, then trying to install from steam and hope it finds the files before attempting a full redownload
Best of luck
Edit: I just read through the original post a bit more thoroughly, I feel kinda dumb, will look around for some more info anyway (didn't find much except the same command you entered, perhaps you can try sandboxing the install and see what happens)
I always make sure I am connected to the internet and log into my Steam app before installing a game from disk, then start the install on the disk which will then stop and ask for the Steam code to be entered, then it will proceeds to install the game from the disk. Then it will go on to preparing the game which will involve downloading the updates before letting you play the game.
Come to think of it you may have activated the Steam code as you would for a download only game?.
Yes, I didn't mention that, I have first chosen "Add Game" and then I had to enter the activation code of my DVD before the Steam download started.
The procedure I mentioned in my first post above (with the Windows execute command), I have found that in the support help pages of Steam, but they say:
"Note: This process is only intended for retail store bought copies of Steam games (ie. Left 4 Dead, Modern Warfare 2). It will not work for backup discs of any Steam games"...
So, I^m not sure where I am here, I have a PC DVD bought in a store in Europe.
I have de-installed and re-installed Steam to get past some possible errors, now when starting Steam it wants first to update itself a 128.140 KB file, but because of my stupid low speed with the internet USB stick, this will actually take very long: I see the progress bar going slowly up from 60-120.200...800.. At some point it will stop with the message "Steam needs to be online to update...Please confirm connection." I think I really have to wait to be at home again where I have a high speed connection.
now I understand your last comment, sorry I'm slow today 🙂
Maybe I shoudn't have entered that code, because I didn't want to download the whole game. Strange, though that this code did work...
I will drop all this to Steam Support. Thank you all for your suggestions.

May Update: April Market Recap & What’s Next | Dubai Short-Let & Real Estate Insights
Dubai’s property market is shifting long-term rentals are down 44%, sales volume has dropped 26% and off-plan dominates. Investors face price corrections, increased competition and evolving strategies
Long-Term Rentals in Dubai
Long-term rental tenancy agreements have dropped by 44% over the past 16 months according to Property Monitor, including a 23% decline from March to April 2025 alone signaling market instability and weakening demand for long-term rentals. Despite brief recoveries (e.g., October 2024), the downward trend has persisted as seen in the below graph, setting the stage for inevitable price corrections in long-term rentals.
Declining long-term tenancy demand → lower rental rates → reduced ROI.
With this decline already unfolding, the key question remains: What happens when 300,000 new units enter the market? The impact will be profound rental prices will fall, competition among landlords will increase, and investor strategies will shift.
Sales Volume in Dubai
Property Monitor also reports a 26% decline in total sales transaction volume from October 2024 to March 2025, indicating a sustained slowdown in market activity. In March 2025, transactions fell by 5.7% month-on-month, as seen in the below graph, bringing total sales to 15,223 further reinforcing the downward trend. This decline confirms that Dubai is entering a cooling period, leading to price corrections, increased seller competition and strategic shifts among developers including payment plans and incentives to stimulate demand and facilitate the sale of handover units.
Market corrections, adjustments and even collapses are inevitable but avoiding long-term contracts and maintaining chain free properties can help mitigate risks in an unpredictable economic landscape.

are without emotional depth, but it is a mannered thoughtful approach. The album will creep up on you over time and is probably worth a few more listens to fully ferret out the depths

Court Dismisses Junior Mints Slack-Fill Suit
A New York federal court has dismissed a putative slack-fill class action against Tootsie Roll Industries, finding that the packaging of Junior Mints contains sufficient information for consumers to determine its volume and that “[t]he law simply does not provide the level of coddling plaintiffs seek. … The court declines to enshrine into the law an embarrassing level of mathematical illiteracy.” Daniel v. Tootsie Roll Industries LLC, No. 17-7541 (S.D.N.Y., entered August 1, 2018).
The court found that “consumers can easily calculate the number of candies contained in the Product boxes simply by multiplying the serving size by the number of servings in each box, information displayed in the nutritional facts section on the back of each box.” In addition, the court rejected arguments that consumers depend on the size of the candies as shown on the package.
Moreover, the court found that the plaintiffs did not show that the slack fill in the candy boxes was unnecessary with their comparison to similar candy packaging, noting that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recognized that the level of functional slack fill in packages of similar types of food can vary. “Plaintiffs have not demonstrated, with factual assertions, that the slack-fill in the Products is unnecessary to protect the Junior Mints, or does not reflect the requirements of the machines used for enclosing the packages, or is not the result of unavoidable product settling, or is not the consequence of an inability to increase the level of fill or to further reduce the size of the package,” the court held.


title: Blackberry mercury specs features release date ces 2017 cameo intrigues

text:
"Blackberry Mercury" is definitely coming this year, using one of its advantages - its QWERTY features. Fans of the business phone have been enticed of a new Smartphone recently and when the prototype of the said phone was mentioned during the CES 2017 show, people quickly got nostalgic as its golden years flashed before their eye. TCL is now the company in charge of fabricating the hardware of Blackberry. Release date is still unknown and the details of the said phone are not yet revealed but Jason Gerdon, senior manager of TCL America gives out the specs and features of the said phone.
BlackBerry Mercury Specs & Features: Pre-production of the said model have been in the works and gone are days that the users desired a keyboard is attached to a Smartphone but it seems like the business handsets will bring back the QWERTY. The handsets will be similar to Passports - no sliding display and does not have the traditional shape of a Smartphone with full-faced touch display. It is an Android handset with three capacitive buttons.
The keyboard display returns at the bottom of capacitive keys and features dividing each row. This is obviously there to aid users to type and make they keyboard feel more solid. Another feature in the new handset is on the spacebar as it doubles as a home button. The space bar is also where the fingerprint sensor is found.
Blackberry Mercury Camera: Reports suggest that the cam for this handset is an 18-megapixel rear sensor however, there are those who claim it to be only a 13-megapixel cam. The Priv's camera will be the best ever that Blackberry bears. Front camera is at 8-megapixel sensor; LED flash on the rear benefits the Smartphone.
Blackberry Mercury Price, Release Date, Schedule: There is still not much to be known about this new handset. Some reports suggest that it will have Snapdragon 625 CPU with only a 32GB internal memory and 3GB RAM. The launch is expected to be at the end of the first quarter of the year at the Mobile World Congress. Price of the phone is expected to be at $500, but still tentative depending on the final specs.
Can Blackberry return to the limelight and re-emerge as one of the dominant tech companies in smartphone industry? Here is more about the new phone:

Import projects created on iPhone or iPad into iMovie on Mac
You can import a project that has been shared from iMovie for iOS or iPadOS. After you import the shared project, you can edit it the same way you edit any other project. For more information, see the iMovie User Guide for iPhone or the iMovie User Guide for iPad.
Note: If you import a project that contains high-dynamic-range (HDR) media, it’s automatically tone mapped to standard dynamic range (SDR). Tone mapping remaps the wider range of brightness values in HDR images to a narrower range of brightness values that can be shown on SDR displays. Tone mapping affects only the display of the HDR clips in your project—not the source media in your library.
In the iMovie app on your Mac, choose File > Import iMovie iOS Projects.
Navigate to the location of the project you shared from iMovie for iOS or iPadOS, and select it.
If you have more than one library open in iMovie, click the Library pop-up menu at the bottom of the window and choose the library you want to import the project into.
You can see the progress of the import in the dialog that appears. To cancel the import, click the Cancel button .
Note: If you import a project that uses a Magic Movie or storyboard theme that is not included with iMovie on your Mac, the imported project uses the default iMovie for Mac movie theme.
Note: It is possible that if you are using the most recent version of iMovie on iPhone or iPad, you may get an error message that the project cannot be imported.

Working with Refugee Children
For the last two months, the youth have had the pleasure of working with the refugee children in Croatia. The children had started going to school, so they needed help with homework, but mostly of course, with the Croatian language.
The children are from age seven to nineteen years old. Each one of them is very special and needs a different approach. The work is based on the Big Brother/Big Sister concept. Although youth sometimes work with other children, most have one child to whom they are a Big brother or a Big sister, and need to take care primarily of that child.
The children come from Afganistan, Iraq, Syria, Turkey and other countries. They live in Hotel Porin, an old hotel just outside the city, in very bad condition. They have had a really hard time coming to Croatia and they need a lot of attention and understanding. Of course, they would rather play than study, so it is Sai youths job to motivate them and try to teach them in a playful manner, so they wouldn't get bored or frustated.
There are children who speak some English or other European languages, but most of them only speak their own language (Arabic, Persian). So, sometimes it is really hard to make progress, since youth have very limited resources.
Working with these children is very rewarding. They are very sweet and sincere, and they make youth feel like a part of their family. It is a privilege to be a part of their lives.

Former NIS chief, ex-defense minister indicted for deleting evidence in fisheries case
Published: 29 Dec. 2022, 14:21
Updated: 29 Dec. 2022, 14:22
Prosecutors indicted without detention Thursday former National Intelligence Service (NIS) chief Park Ji-won, former Defense Minister Suh Wook and a former NIS staffer for allegedly deleting evidence related to the murder of a South Korean fisheries official by North Korean soldiers in September 2020.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said Thursday that Park and former NIS chief of staff Roh Eun-chae was indicted on charges of violating the National Intelligence Service Act.
Suh was indicted on charges of abuse of power.
They are accused of ordering the deletion of related documents at the NIS and the Ministry of National Defense in an attempt to cover up the case after a meeting on Sept. 23, 2020, one day after the death of fisheries official Lee Dae-jun. Suh is also accused of fabrication of documents.
On Sept. 22, 2020, North Korean soldiers fatally shot Lee and burned his corpse. The previous day, he disappeared while on duty south of Yeonpyeong Island near the Northern Limit Line (NLL), the de facto inter-Korean maritime border, in the Yellow Sea. At the time, South Korean military officials claimed that Lee was trying to escape gambling debts by defecting to North Korea.
The Yoon Suk-yeol administration reopened the case after coming into office in May, and the Ministry of National Defense and the Coast Guard admitted in June that there was no evidence to support the idea that Lee was trying to defect and apologized for the previous conclusions.
In July, the NIS filed a complaint with the prosecution against Park on allegations of destroying intelligence documents, which was followed by a raid on the intelligence agency later that month to seize documents and other evidence.
Park served as NIS director from July 2020 to May this year. He has denied the allegations.

title: Bf3

text:
These detectors are still being used in real time applications like monitoring delayed Neutron activity in Pressurized Heavy Water Nuclear Reactors for failed fuel detection, nuclear waste assay monitoring systems, special nuclear material detection systems.
This article reviews the physics behind the BF3 gas filled thermal neutron detectors and their characteristics.
Boron-10, an isotope of Boron has got a reaction cross-section of about 3840 barns for thermal neutrons. The abundance of B-10 is only about 19%. Elemental 10B in powder form can be used as sensitive medium directly by coating onto cathodes of detectors, but the limitation is that they have low sensitivity & poor pulse height characteristics. Hence, the idea of using 10B in gas form has emerged. Boron-Tri- Fluoride 10BF3 gas is widely used for radiation sensors for the purpose of thermal neutron detection.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The basic configuration of any gas filled detector with assumption of cylindrical geometry is as shown in following Fig.The concept in operation of any gas filled detector is collection of charge generated due to dissipation of energy of incoming radiation particle in the gas gap between the electrodes.
The modes of operation of gas filled detectors have been classified into three major regions derived from the plot of applied voltage vs output pulse height (shown in below Fig).
10BF3 gas filled detectors are operated in the proportional region and hence are classified as proportional counters.
Proportional region is the applied voltage region of the detector during which the output variation will be proportional to the incident radiation flux. These detectors usually operate in pulse mode unlike ionization chambers as number of incident events information is required.
“Gas multiplying means multiplying charge carriers created due to primary ionization of gas by incident radiation in the gas. The charge carriers i.e. electrons drift towards the anode at positive potential. The electrons gain momentum and get accelerated to high energies which can transfer to other atoms resulting in emission of further electrons called secondary electrons.
The multiplication occurs more near the regions of anode wire as there is very high electric field intensity in the vicinity. The phenomenon of multiplication of charge in gas under influence of external high voltage is called as gas multiplication(M). Gas multiplication depends on pressure, voltage and mass of charge carriers.
According to Diethron, the expression for ‘M’ is
‘M’ is gas multiplication factor;
‘V’ Is applied voltage;
‘a’ is anode radius;
‘b’ is cathode radius and
‘P’ is gas pressure
K = E/P ; where ‘E’ is electric field and ‘P’ is pressure inside the detector
The high voltage region, in which this gas multiplication is linear and the collected charge is proportional to initial ionization i.e. number of original ion pairs created by incident radiation, is called as proportional region.
10BF3 counters are operated in this region and are hence called as 10BF3 gas filled proportional counters.
When a thermal neutron impinges on to the detector filled with 10BF3 gas, the probability of nuclear reaction is high and may result in an event which happens by following reaction:
Aluminum is a desirable material due to its low absorption crossection for thermal neutrons.
But all commercial aluminum was found to have high background count when exposed to high neutron flux due to induced radioactivity in the impurities.
Copper has got good strength but has high absorption cross-section for neutrons.
Both Aluminum and Copper are not suitable for high vacuum degassing process.
Hence, Stainless steel of grade 304L is generally used for body of the detectors.
For electrical isolation of electrodes, High pure ceramic to metal seals are used.
The full width at half maxima (FWHM) of the peak will determine the resolution and thus quality of collection of charge in the detector.
The pulse height(Vo) at the detector output is given by
HV Plateau curve
This is the voltage which is selected based on the sensitivity required and stability of high voltage power supply. This shall be noted that the count rate at lower end of plateau region will be low as compared to count rate at high end of plateau. Hence deciding operating voltage will also decide sensitivity of detector.
S = counts per second at operating voltage/ incident neutron flux
Theoretical expression for sensitivity is
where ‘N’ is number of converter nuclei per unit volume;
V is sensitive volume of detector
The efficiency of the detector along radial direction is given by
ξ = 1-exp(-Nσt)
‘N’ is number of converter nuclei per unit volume;
σ is neutron absorption crossection
‘t’ is gas gap thickness
EFFECT OF PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE ON PERFORMANCE OF 10BF3 DETECTORS
Literature pertaining to BF3 counters was reviewed and insight is given to the basic principle of operation, design parameters and the functional characteristics. This article would help readers to understand the physics behind the operation of 10BF3 counters and understand the functionality.

Well, my NABU arrived and all my pre-setup and testing stood me in good stead!
Unit had a small cooling fan tick - that I successfully adjusted - but apart from that all working 100%
I have set it up - as they were originally intended - with my TV in the lounge.
I have setup and am using a Pi3B in a case as my "Internet Adapter", it is configured to run one of 2 servers at the moment - expansion on this is coming (power button, server switch etc).
We are in a 240V world so I am simply using a 200W step down transformer that I had available for the time being (I may well look into modify the internal switch mode power supply in the long run - I have done this is the past with Laserdisc players).
Unit is just connected via composite input into the TV, which is an auto switching PAL/NTSC Sony. The picture in not fantastic from a Text front but Games etc are VERY acceptable. This is another area for future expansion.
I am not a video person and 50 other people have already detailed what they have done so I won't go on much more than this. Please feel free to ask any questions.
So far I have found the network link very stable other than the odd issue relating to the slightly off-set baud rate you have to use on the PI.
I have setup file shares on the Pi and can very easily copy across new CP/M software etc for use on the NABU Internet Adapter Server software installed. Or if required, server version updates etc - I can VNC in to the Pi and download and install these directly.
Looking forward to DJSures (Headless) server expansion - the NABUNetSim Headless option works beautifully...
All working well! No other computers directly connected to the NABU PC or needed for me to fully enjoy my step back in time! And for an old CP/M junkie like me - this is a FANTASTIC Adventure!

title: Narcolepsy

text:
A sleep disorder can significantly impact your quality of life. Since good sleep is just as essential as physical health, it’s important to address sleep disorders like narcolepsy, which can disrupt daily activities. The expert team at Banner Health can help you manage and treat narcolepsy, so you can live a more fulfilling life.
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime drowsiness and sudden sleep attacks. People with narcolepsy fall asleep unexpectedly and often have difficulty staying awake for extended periods. These episodes can be overwhelming, regardless of the situation.
There are two main types of narcolepsy:
Secondary narcolepsy is a rare form caused by brain injuries, particularly affecting the hypothalamus, which regulates sleep and waking.
The exact cause of narcolepsy remains unclear, but researchers have linked narcolepsy type 1 to low levels of hypocretin, also known as orexin, a brain chemical that regulates wakefulness and REM sleep. This deficiency may be due to an autoimmune response. Genetic factors and certain infections, like the H1N1 flu virus, may also increase the risk.
Narcolepsy symptoms can appear gradually and often worsen over time. Key symptoms include:
To diagnose narcolepsy, your doctor will start with a review of your symptoms, focusing on daytime sleepiness and any episodes of cataplexy. You may be referred to a sleep specialist for detailed testing.
Diagnostic tests Include:
These tests help rule out other sleep disorders like sleep apnea or the side effects of certain medications.
While there is no cure for narcolepsy, treatment options can significantly reduce symptoms. These include:
Your doctor will work with you to tailor a treatment plan that suits your needs.
In addition to medication, lifestyle adjustments can help manage symptoms:
If you plan to drive long distances, talk to your doctor about staying awake safely. Take breaks to nap or move around as needed.
If you think you might have narcolepsy, our Banner Health sleep specialists can help create a personalized treatment plan. Schedule a consultation today.


title: With inflation surging is k bro linen a good defensive stock to buy

text:
Investors have been airing their dirty laundry lately, dumping shares of struggling growth stocks in favor of more reliable businesses that can maintain strong margins through this period of higher inflation.
One stock that could fit the bill is the little-known K-Bro Linen (TSX:KBL), the largest operator of laundry and linen processing facilities in Canada. It is also a market leader in laundry and textile rental services in the U.K. The company serves both the health-care industry and hospitality industries. And because many hospitality businesses are still recovering from the pandemic, K-Bro has a tonne of recovery potential itself. Meanwhile, its sales from health care help it diversify its revenue and operations.
Laundry and linen services are a necessity for KBL’s clients, which means it should be able to pass a lot of its increased costs onto them. And there’s little chance of those clients leaving: The reason health-care companies and hospitality businesses use a third-party laundry company like K-Bro is that it’s much cheaper thanks to K-Bro’s economies of scale. So K-Bro should have some pricing power and the ability to maintain a lot of its margins.
K-Bro reported earnings last week. Let’s look at how the business performed and determine if K-Bro is one of the better stocks to buy in today’s inflationary environment.
K-Bro’s Q1 earnings
K-Bro’s business results made it clear that the company is starting to see a meaningful recovery in hospitality.
Its hospitality revenue continued to show remarkable progress in the quarter, and although initial parts of the quarter were still impacted by COVID, revenue at the end of the quarter in March was just 10% below comparable 2019 levels as pandemic-related restrictions were eased.
As a result, on a consolidated basis, K-Bro’s revenue passed pre-pandemic levels for the first time, an extremely positive sign. In total, K-Bro’s revenue was up 29%, to $61.4 million, which beat analysts’ consensus estimate.
Some of the demand continued to come from the health-care sector, which was up slightly year over year even though K-Bro had a strong quarter this time last year thanks to pandemic-fueled demand.
K-Bro also reported that it earned adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 million, which was slightly lower than the consensus estimate of $8 million. The miss was due to additional expenses incurred in the quarter, especially from higher natural gas prices and labour costs.
K-Bro clearly has a defensive business, but it will have to manage its costs to maintain its margins
Because inflation is so significant and costs have been growing rapidly, K-Bro has decided to lock in natural gas supply rates in the U.K. until December 2024. This should help K-Bro to forecast its costs more accurately going forward.
Plus, the company expects to continue recovering in its hospitality segment given the recent lifting of travel restrictions and increasing business and leisure travel.
On the cost side, in addition to fixing its natural gas rates in the U.K., management also mentioned that it expects to pass on the higher costs to customers with price increases.
Is K-Bro a buy today?
With the stock still having room to recover, trading at a forward enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 9.1 times, and offering a dividend yield of 3.7%, I think it’s certainly one of the best stocks to buy for the long haul.

title: Dormant seeding what you need to know

text:
We all love a luscious lawn, but winter can be a bit of a problem for grass. So how do you make sure your lawn recovers in the spring?
Can you sow grass seed in winter? Is the ground inhospitable during the coldest season of the year? Can you save yourself some time in the spring with dormant seeding?
If you have lots of questions about sowing grass seed in winter and you’re not really sure how it works, here’s our guide to dormant seeding and how to get the best out of your lawn in preparation for the warmer, spring months...
What is dormant seeding?
Dormant seeding is the process of sowing seed at a time of year when soil temperatures are not optimal for germination. It's also known as cold seeding. So why would you sow seeds that aren't going to germinate? The idea is that your dormant seed will begin to grow in early spring, as temperatures begin to rise.
As the name suggests, grass seed will lie dormant when the conditions for germination are not met. The grass seed itself won't die if it freezes, it will simply wait until the conditions it needs are right. If soil temperatures are below 9 degrees most grass seed won't be able to grow.
What is the best grass seed for dormant seeding?
A high perennial ryegrass content is best for dormant seeding - our Winter Green Grass Seed contains 40% high-quality tetraploid amenity perennial ryegrass and 60% diploid amenity perennial ryegrass and will germinate down to soil temperatures as low as just 5 degrees. From mid-February onwards, we recommend choosing from our full range of lawn seed - especially those mixtures with high ryegrass content such as BS Premier and BS Childsplay.
Does dormant seeding work?
Dormant seeding can be very effective, but there are some dangers to look out for. If you overseed in winter, you'll need to keep a close eye on the weather. Colder temperatures are best, as grass seed won't die if it freezes. The real concern is weather that's unseasonably warm. High temperatures may warm the soil enough to allow seedlings to germinate. When cold, winter weather and harsh conditions return, seedlings may struggle to survive.
As long as seedlings don't shoot during the winter, dormant seeding does work.
What is the best time for dormant seeding?
In the UK, overseeding in late November to early December or February through to March is best. Wait until autumn leaves have fallen, so they can be cleared before you prepare the soil.
Dormant Seeding vs Spring Seeding
Overseeding in winter can actually offer some benefits that you might not expect.
As soil thaws and freezes during winter, it can help to increase seed to soil contact. A layer of snow can help keep seeds in place too. Because soil stays moist for longer during the cool season, you'll need to water less than you would in warmer weather. Grass will begin to grow in bare patches as soon as the conditions are right which can help to protect from weed growth in these areas.
What's more, winter seeding is more in line with natural processes. Spring seeding is actually an artificial process, which doesn't allow for a dormant period. Laying dormant is a part of nature's re-seeding cycle, so allowing this to happen is definitely good for your grass.
Cold seeding usually gives grass a little longer to mature before being cut, too!
If you put the work in sowing grass seed in winter, you can expect a beautiful, green lawn to grow as the season changes. It's well worth the effort!


title: Amazon studios to target less indie films more commercial movies

text:
Amazon Studios is switching up its game plan: Indie movies are out, bigger projects are in.
The tech behemoth will be aiming for more “commercial” films that can appeal to large audiences, according to a new report from Reuters citing unnamed sources who said that the company would target movies with budgets closer to $50 million, rather than $5 million as it has in recent years.
Amazon Studios did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment.
The shift in strategy comes on the eve of the Sundance Film Festival, a place where Amazon Studios has made waves in the past for its deals; two years ago, the studio shelled out $10 million for the domestic rights to “Manchester by the Sea.”
It continued the trend last year, making five high-profile buys of Sundance premieres, including $6 million for a Grateful Dead documentary and another $12 million for “The Big Sick,” with the Judd Apatow-produced comedy grossing an impressive $42.8 million at the domestic box office.
The company also bought the prison drama “Crown Heights,” the dramedy “Landline,” and the ISIS documentary “City of Ghosts.”
Targeting films with broad appeal would also help Amazon drive more Prime memberships, its paid shopping service with perks, Reuters noted. The plan is to use its studio wing to funnel customers back into the Amazon ecosystem, where they’ll buy more gadgets, books and toilet paper.
The strategic shift also follows the ouster of Roy Price, who had led the studio since its inception in 2010 but resigned in October following accusations of sexual misconduct. His replacement has not been named.
According to the report, Amazon has no current plans to move into full “blockbuster territory” in terms of theatrical release. But the company’s TV division has stepped up its spending on a higher-profile projects, including a $250 million deal for a “Lord of the Rings” series.
The report adds Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos believes it will be “business as usual” for its studio at Sundance, with the company aiming for multi-million dollar deals with movies poised for theatrical releases.


title: Beng leads tribute to mayor vinnie

text:
Mayor Beng Climaco on Thursday led City Government officials and employees in paying last respects to the late Jose Vicente “Vinnie” Atilano II, who served Zamboanga City in various capacities from city council to vice mayor and ultimately as mayor from 1964 to 1980.
“One of the best examples that Mayor Atilano has left us is the opportunity to love Zamboanga City. Being the youngest in the service of leadership he exemplified orderliness, cleanliness and above all integrity, it is very relevant in today’s times. If you heard the SONA of President Duterte, he ordered the cleanup of sidewalks and that is what Mayor Atilano had started during his time,” Climaco said.
She thanked the family for sharing Atilano to the people of Zamboanga that significantly contributed to what Zamboanga City is today.
Various individuals gave eulogies recalling their fond memories with the late mayor. They included Atilano’s niece Sarita Sebastian representing the Rotary East, Jaycee Senate colleague Rene Natividad, family friend James Makasiar, Atilano’s personal friend Atty. Bert Silang, Dr. Mila Fernandez and former Councilor Charlie Mariano.
The members of the City Council presented a Resolution of Condolence to the bereaved family detailing Atilano’s service record, accomplishments and contributions to the city.
Atilano’s son JV III thanked the Mayor Climaco and the City Government for the tribute given in honor of his father as well as the overwhelming outpour of sympathies.
Atilano served the city with zeal in various capacities such as elected councilor from Jan. 1, 1964 to Sept. 7, 1971; by operation of law as vice mayor from Sept. 8, 1971 to Dec. 31, 1971; as elected vice mayor from Jan 1, 1972 to Aug. 10, 1972; by operation of law as acting mayor from Aug 11, 1972 to Aug 30, 1972; as elected vice mayor from Aug. 31, 1972 to June 4, 1978 and succeeded as mayor from June 5, 1978 to Feb. 15, 1980 to finish the term of Mayor Joaquin Enriquez who ran for the position of member of the Batasang Pambansa.
The City Council described Atilano as a “committed public servant who exemplified exceptional performance and acknowledged as one of those who significantly contributed to the growth and development of the city.”
After the necrological service, public viewing and vigil in City Hall, Atilano’s remains were brought back to La Merced Memorial Homes in Gov. Alvarez where he will lie in state until Saturday, Aug. 3.
Interment will be on August 3 with the funeral mass set at 8am at the Tetuan Parish Church. He will be laid to rest at the Atilano clan cemetery at Sta. Cruz, Tetuan, fronting Zambo Tire. (Sheila Covarrubias)

Google rolled out Google's September 2022 core update a few hours ago; This is the second broad core algorithm update of 2022, and the first is the broad core update of May 2022.
Google announced this on Twitter and the updated Search Updates page, "Today we released the September 2022 core update. We'll update our ranking release history page when the rollout is complete," Google added, "The release may take up to two weeks to complete."
Broadcasting started this morning. Google began rolling out this google core update around 11:26 PM ET. Google will update us when this update becomes available.
This update comes after a helpful content update became available last Friday, September 9, 2022.
Previous kernel updates. The latest kernel update was the May 2022 core update, an important and fast update.
The official Google Search Central account has announced the new "September 2022 Core Algorithm Update", which is a major change to Google's algorithm.
You will notice the changes on your site within days, and Google has clarified that there is no confirmed information about the impact of the update on the results of (SERPs) worldwide and in different languages.
This update is more comprehensive than the previous update and is expected to affect search results in most languages.
Danny Sullivan commented that the core update would make the previous update on helpful content more explicit, "Maybe the helpful content signal alone wasn't enough to tip the scales and produce a change in someone's particular situation, but when we do other updates (core, product reviews), it might add into that and be more significant…."
It should be noted that the core update September (HCU) is part of the core update, and he noted that the research community considers updating helpful content as unimportant, but it is expected that it will change the search results a lot.
Danny Sullivan also said, "Google's previous series of Review Updates seemed only to catch the really obvious pages. So, based on the performance of those updates, I've got my expectations dialed low for the Helpful Update.
So, I think it will be like in the old Humphrey Bogart movie Casablanca when the authorities go out to round up the usual suspect
The latest kernel update was the May 2022 broad kernel update; it was an important and quick update. We also had kernel updates, including the November 2021 kernel update and, before that, it was the July 2021 kernel update; before that, it was the June 2021 kernel update, which was slow to roll out, but it was a big update.
Keep track of any changes that occur in the Search Console.
The September core update means that every time Google updates its search ranking algorithms, your site may get better or worse results in search results. Knowing when Google made these updates gives us something to exhibit if this is something you changed on your website or something that Google changed using its ranking algorithm. We know Google will release a basic ranking update Today, so stay tuned for your analysis and rankings over the next few weeks.

November 2008 had a lot of fun reads and I had a great time going over all those old post. But a few things stood out apart from the $1,000 I apparently spent on fraud prevention fees for US visas.
As a seasoned C# developer you should be familiar with the common pitfalls of closures where a variable in a lambda function is not always what you think it is. Go's pointers can easily introduce a similar problem even without the use of lambdas.
Ok, so I was lucky. Somebody else already covered the basics and I share the first impressions covered in this article. Since Java and C# (at least compared to Go) are pretty much the same, this is a good first read if you are in the C# world and want to explore the Go world. However there are two things I would like to point out.
Wow, I was apparently very busy blogging in October 2008. While there are some things that I will not cover below that might be worth reading I wanted to highlight a few things. Both good and embarrassing stuff...
Let’s talk about unit testing and Go. The fact that unit tests typically are placed side by side with the code (in the same package as the code under test) and how Go deals with exposing functions outside of a package leads to some interesting things.
Earlier this week I spent a day following the serverless track at the AWS dev day in San Francisco. I guess serverless is the "new thing" in "the cloud". By building a serverless service you build a service using an infra structure where you don't care about servers, virtual machines or containers but rather functional units.
Just a quick suggestion for today. Read this article on A/B testing at Netflix as it both shows you the importance of supporting A/B testing in your platform as well as an interesting insight into how we humans work when looking for something to watch & chill.
This was a funny feature I came across when i was learning Go. I was working with an API that used interfaces and was surprised that some of my code did not behave the way I expected.

COPD Action Plan reduces fear and hospital visits for Yvonne
6 December 2024
Yvonne Kelly says she has managed to avoid ED four times since her COPD Action Plan was developed.
A COPD Action Plan is a simple guide that helps people manage symptoms of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), including flare ups.
"When I first got this (COPD) I didn't know when to go to hospital. I used to be frightened when I couldn't breathe, especially when I was alone,” said Yvonne.
"Now I don't seem so scared when I get an attack, I think it is because I have a plan. I'm getting better faster because I can get straight into my plan, I have medications at home if I need them," she said.
Yvonne was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 3 years ago and has experienced an exacerbation in symptoms (or flare up) at least seven times in the past year. Prior to having a COPD Action Plan, Yvonne had been hospitalised and had visited ED a number of times.
Since her GP and LinkMyCare – COPD nurse (based in Southern New South Wales Local Health District) helped write a COPD Action Plan, she has felt more confident in her ability to manage her symptoms and has been able to avoid going to hospital.
The plan helps Yvonne know what medicines to take every day, what to do if she feels worse, and when to get medical help.
Yvonne learnt of the benefits of a COPD Action Plan through LinkMyCare - COPD, a program that is being rolled out in South Eastern NSW over the next 18 months.
LinkMyCare – COPD provides resources for general practitioners (GPs) to support patients to manage their condition in the community and access the services they need without travelling far from home or paying out-of-pocket costs.
The program also supports patients at the transition point between hospital and general practice, reducing the likelihood of a re-presentation to hospital and improving the information flow between a patient’s GP and the care team within the hospital.
LinkMyCare – COPD has been co-designed by the South Eastern NSW Strategic Partnership which consists of Southern NSW Local Health District (LHD), Illawarra Shoalhaven LHD and COORDINARE - South Eastern NSW Primary Health Network. The program has been funded by NSW Health.

title: Is tencent stock a buy

text:
Tencent (TCEHY -0.96%) is one of the largest tech companies in China. It owns WeChat, the country's top messaging app; the world's largest game publishing business; China's second-largest cloud platform; one of the country's largest video streaming platforms; and one of its top digital payment platforms.
Tencent's stock has rallied more than 1,400% over the past decade as its gaming and advertising businesses expanded and it entered new markets. Is it finally time to take profits, or does the Chinese tech giant still have room to run?
Keeping pace with shifting advertising trends
Tencent's advertising business, which generated 19% of its revenue last quarter, sells ads across WeChat, the older QQ messaging platform, its mobile ad network, Tencent Video, and other apps. The segment's revenue rose 32% annually during the quarter as e-commerce, online education, and gaming companies bought more ads throughout the COVID-19 crisis.
However, Tencent's ad business faces fierce competition from Alibaba's (BABA -0.51%) paid product listings, online search platforms like Baidu (BIDU -1.13%), and Gen Z-oriented platforms like ByteDance, which owns the viral short video app TikTok (known as Douyin in China).
WeChat's ecosystem of Mini Programs, which locks users into the app, also faces competition from similar walled gardens like Baidu's mobile app, Alibaba-backed AliPay, and Douyin's mini programs. WeChat's messaging service, which serves over 1.2 billion monthly active users, also faces competition from dating apps like Momo and Tantan.
To shore up its defenses against these rivals, Tencent needs to keep launching new apps -- which will cause its operating expenses to rise.
The gaming unit is relying on overseas growth and investments
Tencent's gaming business, which generated 35% of its revenue last quarter, is still locking in gamers with hit games like Honor of Kings, Peacekeeper Elite, PUBG Mobile, and League of Legends. Its revenue grew 31% annually during the quarter as people played more games throughout the lockdown period.
Tencent's stakes in overseas companies like Fortnite publisher Epic Games, Bayonetta developer Platinum Games, Ubisoft, and Activision Blizzard also reduce its dependence on the Chinese market, which is hobbled by fickle censorship standards, tight playtime restrictions, and rigid licensing requirements.
That expansion also widens its moat against its top Chinese rival NetEase, which is gaining significant momentum overseas with its PUBG rival Knives Out.
Looking ahead, investors should expect Tencent's gaming unit to rely more heavily on overseas titles like Call of Duty Mobile, as well as increased investments in overseas developers and publishers.
Countering Alibaba in the cloud and fintech markets
Tencent's fintech and business services unit, which accounted for 24% of its top line last quarter, generates most of its revenue from Tencent Cloud, China's second-largest cloud infrastructure platform after Alibaba Cloud, and WeChat Pay, which shares a near-duopoly in the payments market with Alibaba-backed AliPay.
Revenue from this newer business rose 22% annually last quarter, but that marked a significant slowdown from its previous quarters. Tencent attributed the deceleration to fewer WeChat payments throughout the lockdowns, but it expects the business to recover later this year.
Tencent doesn't disclose its cloud profits, but it's likely unprofitable like Alibaba Cloud. Both companies will likely incur more losses in their cloud businesses, and use other profitable businesses -- like Tencent's ad and gaming units, and Alibaba's core commerce unit -- to subsidize the difference.
Therefore, the growth of the fintech and business services unit is a double-edged sword: It generates fresh revenue growth and diversifies Tencent's top line away from games and ads, but it will likely throttle its adjusted operating margin -- which declined annually from 43% to 34% last quarter.
Is it the right time to buy Tencent?
Analysts expect Tencent's revenue and earnings to rise 22% and 17%, respectively, this year, as its strengths offset its weaknesses. That's a solid growth rate for a stock that trades at about 33 times forward earnings.
I own shares of Tencent, and I believe it's still one of the best long-term plays on China's growth. Tencent is also better diversified than Alibaba and Baidu, which still rely heavily on e-commerce sales and online ads, respectively.
The only near-term threat to Tencent is the legislative threat to potentially delist Chinese stocks from U.S. exchanges if they don't follow certain accounting rules. But top tech companies like Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu will more likely reach a compromise with U.S. regulators instead of staging a full retreat to closer exchanges like Hong Kong. Therefore, Tencent remains a solid long-term investment, and it has room to run after its 30% rally over the past 12 months.

There are calls for a new national strategy to help bridge the digital divide for Australia’s disadvantaged students, with new research highlighting the impact that this issue has on young peoples’ learning.
A new report prepared pro-bono by KPMG on behalf of not-for-profit organisation WorkVentures found an alarming 84% of students with inadequate access to a computer had trouble finishing class work and assignments.
This is representative of two in five (44%) Year 6 students and a quarter (25%) of Year 10 students in Australia who do not have access to a computer outside of school.
“Australia is undergoing a rapid digital transformation but despite increased connectivity, socially and financially disadvantaged families have found themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide due to affordability and confidence barriers,” Jacob Muller, Director, IT Solutions & Social Impact at WorkVentures said.
“Our report found that students, who are from schools in areas that identified as having greater relative socio-economic disadvantage, experienced reduced or no access to a computer after school.”
Muller said this reduced access outside of school is likely to have a negative impact on the educational outcomes for students from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
The report found while laptop computers were commonly provided by the school (57% for Year 6 students) as they progressed their education, just 32% of Year 10 students were provided with a device by their school.
Covid exacerbated ‘digital poverty’
While the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the need for internet access, the sudden transition to services online left many families more digitally excluded than ever, as Professor Michael Dezuanni, Associate Director of the Queensland University of Technology’s (QUT) Digital Media Research Centre, pointed out.
“For many Australian families, digital poverty is a daily reality.”
In November 2022, a QUT-led project found that while some families are investing in technology to ensure their children are not disadvantaged, cost-of-living pressures mean they are cutting out other essentials to do so.
Based on in-depth interviews, the researchers found that many students in low-income families do not have the internet and device access they need to successfully complete their school work, making it more likely they will fall behind in their learning.
“Even where they do have internet access, this is often restricted by inadequate access to data. The findings highlight a critical need for greater coordination of services – including across schools, libraries, and support agencies – to enable all families to thrive in the digital age,” he said.
“As well as access to education, digital and data poverty impacts negatively on parenting, social participation, and employment.”
‘National Device Bank’ needed to boost digital inclusion
As Term 1 approaches, WorkVentures is urging the introduction of a ‘National Device Bank’ to aid digitally excluded Australians by providing free digital devices.
“We want to ensure all children have access to digital learning essentials so they can make the most of their education and not miss out due to their individual circumstances,” Caroline McDaid, Chief Executive Officer of WorkVentures, said.
Over a five-year period, the Australian public and corporate sector will refresh ten million laptops, PCs, and tablets. Currently, most of these devices are diverted into international markets for profit or disposed of (recycled or sent to landfill).
“While we have had some Australian companies and government agencies donating devices for social good for a number of years, there is substantial scope to amplify this across the corporate and public sector landscape,” McDaid said.
“We want to see a system where these devices are kept in Australia and redistributed for free to people who are digitally excluded.”
‘The need to be digitally included is greater than ever before’
The Smith Family CEO Doug Taylor is another leader calling for a new national strategy to address the digital divide in Australia’s schools.
“We still haven’t solved the hardware issues, connectivity is still a problem for many people, and yet the need to be digitally included is greater than ever before,” Taylor said.
“I worry that if we don’t address this issue now, the challenges that lie ahead will become harder to resolve as we face an ongoing tidal wave of change and the complexities compound.”
However, Taylor said he “takes heart in the fact that we’re starting to see a shift in public consciousness.”
“People are starting to realise that digital inclusion is fundamental to be part of our society today – for children at school, for adults at work, and for all of us to live our daily lives,” he said.
“But we must act now to ensure all Australians can engage safely and effectively with the digital world, or run the risk of perpetuating inequality for generations to come.”
