The Yale men’s club basketball team has enjoyed a historic run through their North Atlantic Region East Conference
earning a ticket to the North Atlantic Regional Championship that took place in St
Operating under the umbrella of the National Club Basketball Association
the conference includes eight teams from Connecticut
The top two teams — the winner and runner-up — are granted an automatic bid to the championship tournament
“This is the first time we’ve made the playoffs in a long time,” said Club President Brennan Columbia-Walsh ’26
“We went on a nine-game winning streak to get there
It’s [been] a pretty spectacular year.”
Yale finished second in the conference — closely following Fairfield University — after triumphing in 14 of 18 games. The club had previously not secured a top-two placement since its 2019–20 season
Columbia-Walsh and Captain Will Sanok Dufallo ’26 attributed the team’s mounting momentum to the strong bonds between its players.
“Good relationships [make] people more committed to the team,” explained Sanok Dufallo
“It [becomes] about more than playing basketball
They want to be more competitive and push each other harder.”
As the captain of the entirely student-run club
Sanok Dufallo is responsible for organizing the team’s weekly practice regimen
Elected like Columbia-Walsh by his teammates
Sanok Dufallo shoulders the blended coach-captain role but added that several of his fellow players support in selecting drills and running team practices
Columbia-Walsh signaled that this collaborative environment is further cause for the team’s trajectory so far
“The behind-the-scenes progress translates directly onto the court,” said Columbia-Walsh
“We know everyone’s strengths and weaknesses
We know [the] fundamental best plays we have in our bag
when [most of us] didn’t really know each other
The team notably comprises three sophomores
Three freshmen also count between its ranks
having joined the team after a competitive try-out process in October
several players of the 16-person roster drove over seven hours to compete against the No
in the first round of the North Atlantic Regional Championship.
Despite an early lead against Syracuse in the first half of the game — a product of the strong performance of several players — Syracuse rebounded in the second half
besting Yale by a narrow lead of three points
“We [fought] until the end but unfortunately they had our number,” said David Dettelbach ’28
is a sign of the immense progress we’ve made and look forward to continuing next year.”
the entire club basketball team is set to return to the court next fall
This includes its starting lineup made up of its seven junior members — a fact that
will allow the team to continue to build off its current trajectory and teamwork to further success
the team will partake in another landmark series of games
Bulldogs will head to Cambridge to compete in an Ivy League bracket-style tournament on April 18 and 19
providing the opportunity for a final showing
and a great way to cap off the year,” said Joshua Ofodile ’28

Three different brush fires demanded the Riverhead Fire Department’s attention over the holiday weekend.
on Saturday a fire broke out near the Friar’s Head Golf Club in Baiting Hollow
Eighteen departments from all over Suffolk County responded
the Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps and Moriches
Equipment included four tankers and multiple brush trucks
The fire was controlled after a 12-hour fight
but Riverhead FD did return during a flare-up on Sunday
The geography of this area contributed to the size and intensity of the fire
“If you have a wind blowing off the water towards the bluff
the fire spreads very rapidly,” said Bill Sanok
the department’s public information officer
because of the kind of dryness we’ve had
So that’s what made it so intense.”

“That’s how you generally fight it
You catch the head and then work back from there

if it gets big enough it creates its own wind

The red flag warning will remain in place until the weather conditions improve

their wandering was largely a matter of choice
But on my father’s Jewish-Polish side
it was persecution rather than fancy that drove them on
My relationship with my father offered few clues as to where I’d come from
so I first traveled to Poland to color those parts of my identity that I felt had been grayed out
What I found was a country at once cozily familiar and wonderfully different
a small town of log cottages in the foothills of the Tatras mountains
who have called this chunk of southern Poland home for some 600 years
An ethnographic group with their own customs
they’re found in northern Slovakia and the Czech Republic
though political borders don’t mean a great deal to them
where the Polish Highlanders Alliance of North America has its headquarters
still fascinated by what I’d learned
I made it to Chochołów in time for the Feast of Corpus Christi
a religious holiday held 11 days after Pentecost
Pentecost is celebrated as a fertility festival
and Corpus Christi has something of the pagan about it
Adults in traditional costume – felt hats
embroidered tunics and bodices – pay their respects at open-air altars wreathed in birch branches and garlanded with flowers
while their children toss petals before a procession of notable villagers carrying icons and paintings beneath ornamental canopies
I spent the weekend in Zakopane, a 15mi (25km) drive away
It’s a popular-among-the-Poles ski resort between December and March
and during the summer there’s all sorts of folkloric fun to be had
from concerts of traditional music (the Górale have their own bagpipe
and “alpine” horn) to showcases of their prowess in making decorative axes
salted sheep’s milk cheese called oscypek
but I can badger a note out of a number of instruments
I imagined this would translate to expertise with the bagpipe
so I asked a mountain piper to give me a few lessons
It was my father’s intense pride that “our people came from Łódź” that attracted me to a city we didn’t even know was pronounced “Woodge”
I was drawn to Andel’s Hotel in the Manufaktura complex – not just because it was a beautiful factory conversion with its industrial bones still in place
but also the factory where my great-grandfather slaved over a sewing machine
Now a vibrant gallery and entertainment center as well as stylish digs
Manufaktura was once a sweatshop manned by rural 19th-century Jews pouring into a city dubbed “The Promised Land”
I found the building where my great-grandparents lived
and was thankful they passed away before the market square they overlooked became a place of public execution
a party town with a three-mile drag of bars and restaurants that never sleeps
has a dark side – it was the wartime home of a ghetto in which Jews from all over Europe were herded before dispatch to the death camps
The station reserved for that purpose still stands
complete with cattle wagon and a moving display of artefacts looted from the victims
though it’s not promoted as a tourist site
When I first happened across this southeastern city near the Ukrainian border, about 80mi (130km) from Lviv, Ukraine, I was dumbstruck by its Italianate good looks. Though I knew that I was following the trade route that linked western and northern Europe to the Black Sea
and that the Second World War had left Zamość’s old town more or less intact
I was not prepared for the city’s air of opulence
It really must be seen a dozen times to be believed
a Polish nobleman who did very well for himself during the Renaissance
accumulating landed estates that included more than 200 villages and 11 cities
and leasing royal estates containing many more
and Zamoyski wanted to build a capital that was fit for it
Zamość was designed by the Paduan architect Bernando Morando with the Renaissance theory of an “ideal city” in mind
Though it was not physically scarred in World War II
Renamed “Himmlerstadt” by the Nazis in 1941
the city was at the center of a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing
Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s a near-perfectly preserved example of its kind, having retained its original layout, fortifications, and curious blend of Venetian and Central European architectural styles. I’d happily pay a hefty fee to simply stand and stare at it. – Joe Furey
many of my childhood summers were spent visiting family in Sanok
a vibrant town 135mi (220km) southeast of Kraków
is rich in both cultural heritage and natural beauty
just off its recently pedestrianized market square
Renaissance-style fortress built over the remains of the Gothic 14th-century Royal Castle
It’s also the town’s Historical Museum
housing a venerated collection of religious icons and contemporary artwork
Featured prominently is local artist Zdzisław Beksiński
whose dystopian surrealist work I grew to admire through the years
While this self-taught artist didn’t provide any explanations for his dark paintings
“I wish to paint in such a manner as if I were photographing dreams.” On display are more than 600 of his paintings
My other favorite cultural journey is to travel back to the 19th and 20th centuries at the Museum of Folk Architecture

the author of a new book about the four-day work week.
is the author of "Thursday is the New Friday," in which he argues that the 40-hour work week is a construct of early 20th-century "industrialists" and no longer applicable to the way we live
Sanok said there was no universal method for getting things done
and that people should find their own system — but he shared some productivity hacks that he believed most people could benefit from
Don't use a to-do list — instead
put things that you need to do in your calendar and block the time off
Time blocking is a technique favoured by productivity gurus, and many leading executives are said to be highly scheduled with their time.
Five-year goals are "done," Sanok said — at most
which forces you to focus on your top-tier goals
"We can say here's where we think we're headed
but where a person is or where a business is in five years from now
is completely different than where they think they're going to be," he told Insider
Change your environment based on the type of work you're doing
It could be as simple as trying different lighting levels for specific tasks
or a certain playlist based on what type of work you're doing
Sanok said that creating a familiar environment for different types of work helped him fall into flow-state faster while he was writing his book
Sanok recommended trying productivity sprints — blocks of time where you focus on just one task
and what works depends on your personality
A "task switch" sprinter needs to have variety
so will focus on one task intensely for a shorter period
An "automated sprinter" will have the same type of task blocked out at the same time every week
An "intensive" sprinter needs to completely remove themselves from distractions in order to focus on a specific task
Sanok said it's important to understand how much variety you need
Sanok said. Don't block time out on your calendar to focus on a specific task if you're just going to answer an email every couple of minutes.
"Every minute that you waste when you're working
that's a minute you're stealing from your family
EXETER — Ann Sanok is calling on the state to increase its funding for people with developmental disabilities after her adult son spent nearly a month in a secure Exeter Hospital emergency room waiting to be transferred to a residential facility
“His situation presents a dual challenge for the state which has weak funding and services for the developmentally disabled,” Sanok said about her 22-year-old son Alex
“And having to be warehoused in a hospital is a doubly sad state of affairs
for a person who is autistic and intellectually disabled.”
Sanok explained that her son intellectually is “like a 7-year-old,” but he’s also “6-feet tall and getting bigger.”
He received day-time services through the state Bureau of Development Services and lived at home
But her son began getting “very aggressive” during April and May
in no small part because “he was driven around all day-long” from one service to another
“He became angrier and angrier at me and my husband and then he stopped wanting to leave the house
but we kept being told there’s no residential options,” she said
Alex “broke a ton of windows and cut himself,” Sanok said
and she and her husband became convinced he needed to go full-time to a residential facility
But Sanok was told there was no additional help available
Her son’s behavior got progressively worse until they felt they had no other choice but to call the police
“The day in question he had been getting worse
He was just angry and smashed a couple more windows
“It was almost like he was out of his mind
“I basically just walked to the phone and called 911,” she said
The police arrived at their Exeter home and took Alex to the hospital
where he was taken to a secure room in the emergency department
“He was still very agitated and they restrained him,” she said
“They put these Velcro things around him and locked them.” Alex spent the next 28 days in the locked room while his parents worked with social workers at the hospital and representatives from One Sky Community Services in Portsmouth
which helps get people with developmental disabilities the help they need
They tried to get Alex into Hampstead Hospital
she and her husband visited Alex in his “windowless room” in the hospital “three to five to seven times a day.”
to monitor him and make sure he’s okay,” Sanok said
Sanok and her husband worried that they would not be able to find a residential treatment facility for their son and wondered what would happen to him if they couldn’t
“We thought the hospital can’t house him forever,” she said
Finally after 28 days in the emergency room
Alex was transferred to the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center in Canton
“It was just night and day,” she said about the care he’s receiving at the facility
he seems to be adjusting really well,” Sanok said
She’s encouraged by how well Alex is doing now but remains angry that he had to endure 28 days in an emergency room waiting for the care he needs
“I don’t think this really should have happened
“The lack of funding for developmental disability services is just almost criminal.”
who began her career in public service advocating for people like her son who suffers from severe disabilities
said this week that “my heart goes out to this family and their son
as well as to the medical staff at the Exeter Hospital emergency room who cared for him there.”
“Every individual who experiences disabilities and their family members face unique challenges
and we must keep working to build and train networks of professional caregivers who can help all Granite Staters who experience disabilities live safely and participate in their communities,” Hassan said
the chief executive officer of One Sky Community Services Inc.
said experiences like the one Alex Sanok went through “happens more than any of us would like to see.”
He recalled one person with developmental disabilities who waited in an emergency room for services for almost two months
the increased intensity of the care that the individuals we support need
particularly as they get older,” Muns said
There is a desperate need for increased funding from the state to provide the services to people with developmental disabilities that the “state is obligated by law” to do
But it’s particularly difficult when it comes to finding services for people who display high intensity behaviors
“We’ve got some individuals who require at all times to have three people around them
not because they’re at that level of escalation all the time
but if they ever get to a point where they do escalate
you literally need three people to deal with it,” he said
The biggest issue Muns sees right now is the lack of funding that has created a waiting list for care for the developmentally disabled
Local school districts are required by law to provide services to someone with disabilities until the day they turn 21
He estimates under the current state budget there will be 300 people statewide who may not get services they need
In a letter he sent to state lawmakers recently
Muns said “the budget is about $18 million short.”
One Sky will “do our best to provide” people on the waiting list “with some services,” Muns said
“because of competing needs and budgetary constraints
we were not able to provide him and his family all of the supports and services they needed.”
“We’re dependent on the legislature for our funding” he added
Most courses at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) include discussion board assignments each week
you might have discussion boards in every course of your degree program.
So, why are they such a staple in online classes
staff and graduates had to say about the value of discussion boards — and how you can get the most from your weekly posts
Discussion boards are student-centered online forums that serve as peer learning environments, according to Dr. Linda Ellington
Ellington has spent her career in business and academia and is an editor for several educational journals
She noted that online discussion boards create a collaborative learning environment for students
“It is a platform for individuals to engage in conversations
ask questions and exchange information,” she said
can expand the classroom in a number of ways.
Soft skills are universally desired by employers
And your weekly discussion posts can help you practice some important ones
Ann Sanok is a law school graduate and associate dean of business in SNHU’s business department
teaching business law at the graduate and undergraduate level
She said discussion boards are especially valuable in cultivating critical thinking
“Employees who learn to apply critical thinking to their work are better able to logically connect ideas
as well as find errors and inconsistencies — a process that helps facilitate problem solving,” Sanok said
Discussion posts can also improve your communication skills and encourage open-mindedness
“Interacting with diverse perspectives fosters empathy,” Ellington said
“Interacting with a diverse group of students promotes cultural competence
which fosters a more inclusive and global perspective.”
Some other soft skills that you can develop during your weekly discussion posts include professionalism
Skills like these are relevant in any industry and job role
and you can consciously practice and develop them as you write your discussion posts
“The discussion board offers both an intellectual and social space that can foster emotional connections
improve student learning and can create greater satisfaction with the course,” said Sanok.
Many students agree about the benefits of making these connections. For example, Marie Stackhouse ‘23 noted her appreciation for the opportunity to interact with her peers when she was earning a degree in English from SNHU.
“I loved the discussion posts each week,” she said
“They connected me to my fellow classmates and helped me realize that I was not the only student working to pursue academic success.”
According to Ellington, the connections you form can also help you build a professional network
“Students can use discussion boards as a networking tool
which can be valuable for professional development and career growth,” she said.
"When learners participate in the discussion boards, they can apply their knowledge," said Debra Caldero, an academic advisor at SNHU as well as an adjunct instructor for SNHU's criminal justice program and "Success Strategies for Online Learning."
Caldero said discussion boards help students actively learn by connecting course concepts to real-world scenarios. That's also what Rose Vella ’23G found when she earned a master’s in human resource management from SNHU
“I have been fortunate enough to experience wonderful discussions with both professors and peers throughout the last few years at SNHU,” Vella said
sharing insights from class discussions with my work team in order to support
question or just to add further research and commentary to whatever it is we are currently working on.”
This collaboration made Vella stand out in her role as she became a person that others came to with their questions
If you use each discussion board as an opportunity improve your skills
make connections and practice active learning
But how can you get the best possible grade for each post
senior creative director and adjunct instructor of philosophy at SNHU
shared a few tips to help you crush your discussion board assignments:
putting extra effort into your discussion posts means you — and everyone in your course — can learn more
“I love when a student really takes their time and works hard to craft interesting posts,” she said
learn from students on the discussion board when they apply concepts to their work and personal lives.”
Sanok also noted the importance of crafting thoughtful responses to your peers.
“Sometimes students feel like they don't know what to say or add to the conversation
but there is always more to learn and communicate,” she said

MINISINK – A crash on Route 12 claimed the life of a 22-year-old man late Sunday afternoon
State police said a 2008 Nissan driven by Brandon S
was headed southwest on Route 12 in the Town of Minisink around 5 p.m
Sanok was extricated from the vehicle by the Johnson Fire Department and pronounced dead at the scene by a representative of the Orange County Medical Examiner’s office
Police said there were no passengers in the car
Residents of the Polish town of Sanok in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship are the beneficiaries of a project that has delivered new ‘greener’ public transport services and infrastructure to the region
The nearby communities of Zagórz and Lesko benefit from the scheme as well
It included construction of a new bus terminal
two park-and-ride points and the purchase of 11 low-emission buses
The project will help to promote Sanok as a modern town that is focused on resolving environmental problems
Moreover this project is crucial for the public transport organisation
because it will help to systematise traffic flow within the town
The brand new multi-modal terminal is a real ‘visiting card’ for Sanok
and creates a positive picture for the visitors
The new bus station in Sanok acts as the hub of the local public transport system
the station is two storeys high and covers 1 247 m2
waiting rooms and a public information point
There are lifts with disabled access and a car park
The station connects to the city’s railway station via a new footbridge
to make it easier for commuters and visitors to move more easily between the two public transport services
The new fleet of buses includes three vehicles that fall under Euro six emission standards
which aim to reduce levels of exhaust emissions and improve air quality
The other eight buses are powered by compressed natural gas – methane stored under high pressure
The fleet provides improved access for disabled people
One new park-and-ride structure was built in the town of Zagórz
The second park-and-ride is at the bus station in Sanok
Other project activities included renovating pedestrian infrastructure and building or revamping a number of bus stops
The community of Sanok performed this work
The main goal of the project was to increase the efficiency of public transport in the Sanok-Lesko area
More services were introduced as a result of the investment in this 42 km-long route
The new buses and facilities shorten travel times in the area and reduce traffic jams
Travel conditions for passengers were improved by reducing overcrowding on buses at peak times
Care was taken to plan new bus services which use more efficient routes outside peak hours
modernising the infrastructure and using cleaner vehicles are expected to have a positive impact on the local environment
Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions thanks to the project are projected to be around 136.51 Mg/CO2 per year
Total investment for the project “Implementation of an integrated low-carbon emission transportation system: Sanok-Lesko” is EUR 6 958 176 (PLN 29 824 557)
with the EU’s European Regional Development Fund contributing EUR 4 954 830 (PLN 21 237 696) through the “Podkarpackie Voivodeship” Operational Programme for the 2014-2020 programming period
The investment falls under the priority “Low-carbon economy”

Runners from Pioneer and Huron excelled at the recent Outdoor Nationals at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field
the competition featured some of the top high school runners in the country and was held at the same stadium that the Olympic trials had been held the previous week
Click here for full results
Pioneer boys track coach Don Sleeman said he admires his runners’ commitment to getting to the national competition
so this will give them an excellent experience to build upon for their senior year,” said Sleeman
“It was exciting to see Owen (Johnson) run his fastest mile ever after sitting out the entire spring season with a foot injury
Just having four young men of this caliber to work with would make any coach excited about an upcoming season.”
Rachel Forsyth (4th place – medal winner)
Distance Medley Relay (DMR): Cookie Baugh, Rachel Forsyth
Gabriella Newman – High Jump (7th place)
Pioneer girls track coach Ian Forsyth noted that his daughter
so last-minute adjustments were made with the DMR so that Cookie stayed with the 1200
Sylvie ran the 800 instead of 400 and Sarah ran the 1600 instead of 800
“It’s very difficult to switch your mindset at the last second —literally just before they checked in for the race—and they responded extremely well
each running fantastic legs,” he said. “Overall they had a great trip and performed well under strenuous conditions. Sarah especially had an incredible weekend running a full mile personal best the first day in 4:57 and a 1600 personal best the next day in 4:57. This kind of competition should translate positively into the upcoming cross country season.”

Craig Sanok knew he couldn’t be onstage forever
but the answer to the question “What am I going to do for an encore?” was more puzzling

a goat-cheese operation founded by Sanok and Paul Chambers near Acme
The two—partners in life as well as business—began selling their cheese last July
“I was looking for the next passion in my life,” Sanok says
As a nod to their previous careers (Chambers is also a retired dancer)
like a basic waltz.” It’s for sale at Cookbook Co
Peasant Cheese and Forage Farm to Table Food to Go

Sanok travelled the world as a professional ballet dancer
performing with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal
He met Chambers one summer at the Banff Centre
but they didn’t really get to know each other until they were performing for the same company in Toronto
who had danced with Alberta Ballet for several years
was offered an administrative job with the company in Calgary
Janice Beaton Fine Cheese and Peasant Cheese
“I learned a lot about cheese: how diverse and almost magical all those cheeses are
The idea for Dancing Goats came when Sanok was visiting his sister in the U.S
She was milking a neighbour’s goats once a week
his sister noted that although they were drinking the milk and making yogurt
“I accepted it as a challenge,” Sanok says
“I figured out a simple recipe to make cheese and served it to the family.”
“I realized how incredible the whole process was—milking the goats
making the cheese and sharing it with people.”
He came home and started putting together a plan
he and Chambers have moved to their acreage
built facilities and dealt with a lot of paperwork
He has 44 goats and he’s milking 18 of them
which he takes to his professional kitchen onsite and turns into cheese
but I’d rather do a lot of work on something that I’m passionate about than work 40 hours a week at something I don’t enjoy.”
Craig Sanok says there is more than one reason his company’s cheeses are named after dances. Sure, he and his partner, Paul Chambers, are both former professional ballet dancers, but he adds, “I really believe we have to make a conscious effort to create a North American food culture, which is why I don’t want to name my cheeses after European cheeses.”

GOSHEN - Jane Sanok remembers feeling nervous going to work each day in the early weeks of the pandemic
when a frightening new virus was spreading quickly among vulnerable nursing home residents and the workers who care for them
Her housekeeping job at the Valley View Center for Nursing Care and Rehabilitation now involved emptying contaminated linens and bags of disposable trays and plates from two red barrels that had been placed at the beds of each resident infected with COVID-19
Loads of linens weighed as much as 20 pounds
Sanok hustled in full protective gear, so hot in her gown in summer she would be drenched in sweat when her shift ended
then returned to Valley View after two weeks at home
and we just took that deep breath and got to work," she said
Sanok and other nursing home workers who risked exposure each day and witnessed the virus' devastating toll on the frail and elderly are in line to get hazard pay
a form of recognition many of their counterparts in hospitals got much earlier
Hospital bonuses: Orange Regional workers petition for pandemic hazard pay
Heavy toll: Deaths at nursing homes in three counties rise to 393 in revised totals
Staff shots: Vaccinations urge at some nursing homes as state deadline approaches
more than 2,600 employees of 36 privately owned nursing homes across the Hudson Valley are set to receive up to $1,500 per person under a contract deal negotiated with their union
the Service Employees International Union 1199
All worked for at least 90 days during the pandemic
Next up in the region is likely to be Valley View
where most of the workers are county employees and represented by a different union
the payments would come not through contract talks but an expenditure by the county Legislature
which took up the idea in December and is expected to resume the discussion
A serious wrinkle in that debate is the amount
proposed paying employees $5 for each day they worked at Valley View over 21 months
But for Sanok and some other employees who labored through a series of COVID-19 waves
comforting dying residents whose families couldn't be there
Orange County is now offering sign-on bonuses at Valley View
which had 36 vacant nursing positions as of last month
The payments for new employees are up to $3,500 for registered nurses
$2,500 for licensed practical nurses and $1,500 for certified nursing assistants
Unionized county employees who steer a new worker to Valley View are eligible for a $500 referral fee.
The push for pandemic hazard pay for hospital workers emerged in 2020 after they had braved weeks of caring for COVID patients
who filled intensive care units and often died there
The Montefiore system, which operates St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital in Newburgh, offered its front-line workers $2,500 bonuses in May 2020
which runs the former Orange Regional Medical Center and Catskill Regional Medical Center
depending on the level of exposure risk employees faced
In a recent statement to the Times Herald-Record
and said it retains staff with good salaries and benefits
Before SEIU secured payments for its members in Hudson Valley nursing homes
some homes had given workers an array of lesser rewards such as $200 or Apple AirPods and other gifts
The new contract entitles full-time employees to the full $1,500 and pro-rated amounts for part-timers
Paving the way for county governments to award hazard pay to their employees
are the large sums of federal pandemic relief funds they got through the American Rescue Plan last year
One way they can use that money is to offer "premium pay" to essential workers
Dutchess County, which got $57 million in relief funds, gave its workers $1,000 payments
including 155 who work at the county-owned nursing home
Orange County got $75 million through the American Rescue Plan
one lawmaker there argued that $5-a-day bonuses for Valley View workers would be too low
noting that the Civil Service Employees Association had proposed $10 a day for all county workers in that union
I don't think we're going far enough," said Legislator Laurie Tautel
O'Donnell said he agreed but wanted to start with Valley View workers
The committee later voted down the proposal in what appeared to be a temporary action until more details about its potential cost were produced
A CSEA spokeswoman declined to comment on the amount or the union's pitch for all of its workers to lawmakers in October
saying only that the union appreciated O'Donnell's "starting the conversation with his proposal."
But a long statement on hazard pay circulating among Valley View employees suggests others share the view that $5 a day is too low
it describes the fear workers faced as the virus spread at Valley View
where 73 residents have died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began
we engaged them as best we could while knowing they may not be there the next day."
BY JOE SANOK, AUTHOR, "THURSDAY IS THE NEW FRIDAY" @JOESANOK
And employees are enthusiastic about the idea too–after all, who doesn’t want to work fewer hours? It’s not a hard sell. But the common reaction from business leaders is, “That sounds great, but how would we actually do that?” In my new book, Thursday Is the New Friday
I explain how taking Friday off isn’t just possible–it just makes good sense
Thousands of years ago, the Babylonians saw the sun
and Jupiter as the seven major celestial bodies
But that was a fairly random method of organization–there’s nothing in nature that points to seven days making sense
especially when you note that the Romans had a 10-day week and the Egyptians had an eight-day week
We just as easily could have ended up with a five-day week and had 73 of them in a year
Fast-forward to the late 1800s and early 1900s
The average person was working 10 to 14 hours a day
in an effort to sell more cars to Ford employees and increase productivity
Henry Ford instituted the 40-hour workweek
His belief was that people would buy a car not to get to work faster but to have more leisure time
This shift was an important evolutionary step at the time–but now we’ve outgrown it
The pandemic made us think differently about work
we began to realize that it didn’t make sense to think of workers in the same way the industrialists did
People are not machines or assembly lines to be plugged in
Most people work their 40-plus-hour week and are burned out and stressed out by the weekend
they enter their weekends only to burn out more
and going to social obligations they’d rather not attend
Then they enter their workweek with dread and low energy
But there’s another way. Emerging research continues to show us that our best and most creative work comes when we slow down. Through slowing down, our brains reset. We form neural connections that allow us to think beyond the problem at hand. A study by Atsunori Ariga and Alejandro Lleras from the University of Illinois looked at “vigilance decrement,” a term that references our ability to pay attention over time
The study found that we don’t pay attention as well at the end of a task as we do at the beginning
and that microbreaks of just one-minute during a difficult task can help the brain to deactivate
We know this intuitively–when do we have our best ideas
Numerous leaders and executives have said something along these lines to me: “If we give people 20 percent of the time off
won’t we have a 20 percent drop in profits?” Whether we’re looking at larger businesses or smaller solopreneurs
“Is Friday as productive as Monday?” If you are like most people
What’s interesting about the emerging research and case studies is that people end up doing their best work when their time is limited
If you knew this coming week you could only do 15 of your 20 tasks
What happens when you are doing your best 15 tasks week after week
workers preserve their energy for their best work
avoid being distracted by work that could easily be outsourced or eliminated
and start to see new and creative opportunities they couldn’t see before
I want you to add one thing and remove one thing
This small step will help you to experiment with optimizing your time
add one thing to your weekend that you know will give you more life
Maybe there’s a book you’ve been intending to read
or a scenic hike you’ve been meaning to try
Maybe you’re scheduled to have coffee with a friend who often leaves you feeling drained
I give you permission to cancel that date with your toxic friend
Maybe outsource some chores–have the neighbor kid work on your lawn or have your groceries delivered instead of wasting hours at the store
we have a chance to recreate how we work–to make our own blueprint as the Babylonians and industrialists did in the past
in order to be more creative and productive

With different rooming situations and different House layouts
the one constant you will always see is sweat
Cambridge experienced record-breaking heat waves according to the Boston Globe
While only a few dorms have access to air conditioning
Harvard refuses to turn on most of the ACs for sake of equity between student housing
Many students complain about the rarity of AC-equipped dorms and wish Harvard provided consistent AC access
does not have AC in his dormitory in his five years on campus
resort to sneaking in their own ACs without Harvard’s approval
Students also use the Disability Access Office to their advantage
claiming AC as an accommodation for their ailments
After believing himself to be one of the lucky students with air conditioning
Jamie Momoh ’25 was shocked to find his AC did not work and only dripped all over his carpeting
“I don’t think it’s fair that my AC doesn’t work and everyone else who lives here has it
but also it’s not fair that all the other dorms don’t have it,” he said
“I know the administration says that the grid isn’t big enough for everyone at Harvard to have AC
but they’re definitely rich enough to fix that.”
Many students have different theories for the lack of widespread AC
Sanok thinks that Harvard does not have in-unit ACs because they “don’t match the aesthetic that Harvard wants to portray.” There is nothing “dark academia” about a white box poking out of a window.
Cole Yellin ’25 thought that it could be because of environmental concerns
as ACs use up a significant amount of electricity
and “Harvard is a place that cares about its image as a green university.”
Brendan Kiely ’24 has been speculating that “all the new buildings have AC capabilities
but they don’t turn it on because the administration doesn’t think it’s equitable for the other houses who don’t have access.”
That last rumor is widespread around campus
but there is no publicly available information to confirm or deny it
Unfunctional ACs have been rumored to be found in the newly renovated dorms such as Dunster
who serves as Senior Assistant Dean of Residential Life
only knows of two dorms with AC — Dewolfe and The Inn (aka Oaktel)
the confusion around who gets AC and who deserves AC continues.
As rising temperatures cause massive heatwaves around the globe
climate change has the potential to make an uncomfortably hot first week into a torturous month (or more!) for Harvard students
There is no telling how hot August will get in the coming years
but it is easy to imagine that heat will become a problem that the university cannot ignore.
Students demand communication and reasoning for Harvard’s logic
College is supposed to be the great equalizer
however many students do not believe rationing AC can fix inevitable housing inequality
Instead it only creates sleep deprived and smelly students entering their first week of classes
Seattle Hickey ’25 (seattlehickey@college.harvard.edu) can’t fall asleep without the AC on

A special police unit tasked with scaring away bears from populated areas is to be launched next week around Poland’s southeastern Bieszczady mountains
which are home to the country’s largest population of brown bears
will be based in the town of Lesko and will operate over the summer season
provincial police spokesman Piotr Wojtunik told the Polish Press Agency (PAP)
They will fire rubber bullets to scare away bears
in the hope that the animals will begin to associate humans with pain and become reluctant to approach people and avoid human settlements in the future
The most recent bear sighting occurred in the area on Friday
when an animal was spotted roaming through Sanok

— Hubert Walko 🇵🇱 (@HubertWalko) July 7, 2023
appealed to residents and tourists to allow the new unit to carry out its work
they should not attempt to scare the animal away themselves
but stay away from the creature and alert the police
The best action that the public can take to keep bears away from built-up areas is to securely dispose of food waste and ensure that rubbish containers are properly sealed
“By leaving scraps in various places
forest animals will have easy access to food,” said Tomasz Matuszewski
The mountain resort town of Zakopane has installed new rubbish bins designed to prevent wild animals
The initiative, a collaboration with Tatra National Park, is intended to protect both animals and humans https://t.co/7PW0SatYxg

The Gallery of Zdzisław Beksiński is located in the Historical Museum in Sanok
Beksiński (b.1929) gained world renown for his fantastical canvases
He was a self-taught artist and he is most famed for his fantasy paintings
which were at odds with the European avant garde
he has a cult following both in Poland and abroad
The artist known for his gruesome images met a gruesome end in 2005 when he was stabbed to death outside his flat in Warsaw by a 19-year-old man over an incident involving a loan of money
Beksiński left Sanok in the late seventies
when the communist authorities divided up his family house
and Sanok's collection includes thousands of paintings
