ADAM SCHIFF, her longtime protege and former hand-picked House Intelligence Committee chair, to succeed Feinstein after her sixth and final term ends next year. The intrigue surrounds the future of Feinstein’s seat. But among some of those who are aware, it has also raised uncomfortable questions about whether Nancy Pelosi’s political interests are in conflict with Feinstein’s personal interests. Multiple people familiar with the arrangement say it’s only the most visible part of a quiet but critical role the Pelosi family has played in helping to take care of the ailing senator, both in Washington and San Francisco.īy all accounts, the arrangement is rooted in a long and friendly relationship between Feinstein and the Pelosis - twin pillars of San Francisco politics. Not only did Prowda escort Feinstein around Capitol Hill last week, she was again at her side yesterday, helping aides surround the senator in a Capitol hallway as a reporter tried to speak to her. The San Francisco Chronicle made note of her presence but left unreported amid the spectacle was the larger role that Prowda, the eldest child of former House Speaker NANCY PELOSI, has come to play in Feinstein’s life as the 89-year-old has dealt with the absence of her deceased husband, the departure of trusted staffers, a nasty case of shingles and spiraling concerns about her fitness for office. NANCY CORINNE PROWDA blended into the swarm around the legendary California Democrat. DIANNE FEINSTEIN walked into the Capitol last week, ending a monthslong medical absence, she was accompanied by Senate Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER, a small entourage of aides - and a close personal confidant with a storied political pedigree.

She said she hoped to make a decision before the start of the filing of the certificate of candidacy in October. However, she said she is open to give way if it would mean having a single candidate to represent the opposition. Tingin ko naman wala namang negotiations na madali (I think there are no negotiations that are easy), she said.

Xavier Olin, SJ' LIVE KEEP THE FAITH: Daily Mass for Hope and Healing 16 Feb 23, Thursday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time Celebrant: Rev. Vice President Robredo is yet to decide if she will run for president in 2022. In an interview with Radyo Katipunan on Friday, September 24, the Vice President could not help but laugh when she was asked if she was nearing her goal of unifying the opposition. Radyo Katipunan (87.9 MHz) is a low-power FM campus radio station owned and operated by the Jesuit Communications Foundation in coordination with the Ateneo de Manila University.

It's like a rollercoaster ride)," she added. So ano siya, rollercoaster ride (There were things like that. "May isang point last week na akala ko sa susunod na araw pwede na kami mag-announce na nagkasundo kami tapos hindi natuloy (There was a time last week when I thought we can finally make an announcement that we have reached an agreement but this did not push through)," she said. Robredo said there was even a time when she thought she has achieved her goal of a unified opposition but things suddenly changed. It's like one step forward two steps back. Ganoon yung nangyayari (It's like you're dancing the cha-cha. "Alam mo yung sumasayaw ka ng cha-cha? Parang one step forward, two steps back.

In an interview with Radyo Katipunan on Friday, September 24, the Vice President could not help but laugh when she was asked if she was nearing her goal of unifying the opposition. Robredo made the statement after Senator Manny Pacquiao and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, two people that she has been talking to, declared their candidacy for the presidency in 2022. This initiative is premised upon the principle that knowledge creation and dissemination should be genuinely collaborative processes that provide space for multiple experiences, perspectives, and problem-solving approaches to be articulated, recognized, and applied.Screenshot of Vice President Leni Robredo's interview with writer and talent manager Noel Ferrer on September 24, 2021. The program, Baka Naman Pwede?, is a knowledge dissemination initiative of the Institute of Philippine Culture that offers a culturally sensitive, critical, evidence-based, and down-to-earth analysis of contemporary social issues using a multidisciplinary social sciences approach.

High-efficiency windows can be costly, so it is helpful to have an expert find the proper balance between cost and energy savings. Special gases, such as argon, are used between the panes to slow the thermal flow through the window and lower their U-Factor. Doubled-Paned, or even Triple-paned windows will have lower U-Factors than single paned. The lower the U-Factor, the greater the resistance to heat flow. It is same concept as the R-Value only inversed. The U-Factor is the standard measurement for a windows resistance to heat flow. These are the least efficient type of windows as they have only one thermal barrier and a high U-Factor. Most older buildings have single pane windows. Choosing the correct window for the building is determined by climate, building orientation, retrofitting (if old construction), and cost. Windows are the main source of heat loss in the building envelope. Department of Energy also has good resources for energy conservation and insulation available here. If your building has unused and non-insulated attic space, it will be easy to insulate and, according to the DOE, can save up to 40% of your energy costs! If your roof is not properly insulated, the rising heat will easily escape out of your roof. Use the appropriate type of insulation for the job and ensure quality workmanship. This means eliminating convection paths (gaps), particularly around windows, door jams, and wiring. Typically, your architect will know the rules for designing new construction.Įnsure that insulation is installed properly. The 2012 IECC for commercial buildings has become stricter when constructing new building envelopes. A foam spray insulation may be a better option here. Older construction sites may have exterior walls that are hard to reach. For new construction, standard fiberglass insulation is typically used. Insulation comes in several different forms. A higher R-Value means the insulation is more efficient. The R-Value represents how resistant a material is to heat flow. Lining the inside of exterior wall with a high R-Value insulation is the least expensive way to create an energy efficient building envelope. Below are steps you can take to increase your energy savings through the building envelope. Enhancing the insulation of the building envelope will help to prevent thermal exchanges between the inside and outside to save energy on heating and cooling. This includes all exterior walls, windows, doors, and roofing. The envelope of a building is defined as the physical separator between the exterior and the interior of the building. Energy Efficient Building Envelope Toolkit You can even install a plugin called Google Hangout Toolbox which you can use to do really cool things such as lower third graphics. I reckon Google Hangouts on air is very good for broadcasters. Basically, it’s the same content going to different places in new ways. She explained that you can repurpose the content for talk radio making it so that you don’t only have a radio show but also a video for it which can be made available on YouTube and your own website. Izabela shared her thoughts on how it can be of good use for talk radio. For excellent tips on branding, you can go to podcast episode 79 where we chatted to Melissa Hawks.ĭue to the importance of branding and visibility, Google Hangouts can be very beneficial. Izabela advised however that if you are a podcaster and you’d like to be anonymous and don’t want to show your face you can also go for it but you have to take into consideration your branding in doing so. Izabela and I first discussed how you can’t stay anonymous anymore in this day and age due to the prevalence of social media if you wish to be consistent in promoting your brand. Choosing Anonymity And The Importance Of Branding So from the broadcaster’s point of view, Google Hangouts On Air is the product that everyone would need. Basically, Google Hangouts are private, and just between the people who are invited to join the Hangout while Google Hangouts On Air, people can join in and is broadcasted live on a YouTube and the Google platform and you can even embed the live stream in your website. I took it upon myself to stress the difference between the two. The Difference Between Google Hangouts and Google Hangouts On Air A cool thing about it is you can grab your own URL, for example, Appear.in/musicradiocreative. Izabela also mentioned Appear.in which Cliff Ravenscraft recommends and is more like of a webinar which is free to join. In a recent announcement, Skype basically made Skype group video calls available to everyone free of charge as opposed to previously being subject to a premium so that’s one interesting choice to look at. Skype group video calls, among others, may be a good alternative. We also talked about possible alternative platforms to Google Hangouts. She admitted that if not for me, she wouldn’t know of its existence, also pointing out that a lot of people are unaware or may not be as interested because of the lack of knowledge of the product. Izabela also talked about the lack of marketing and dissemination of information for it. However, one may wonder of the effect to its longevity of Google’s move of reducing the Hangouts team working on the product. Google Hangouts is a great product with cool features. They then invite other podcasters and debate with them over hot topics in podcasting on the Podcasters’ Roundtbale. In their live podcast they basically have a core of presenters on Google Hangouts consisting of Ray Ortega, Daniel J. I also shared my knowledge of how it is already being used on air by one of the originators of the style and format, Ray Ortega. Furthermore she explained that if you’re already a broadcaster you’re already connected to your audience with audio but adding the video aspect can be powerful. Google Hangouts is essentially an online or video conference but one with potential when it comes to broadcasting. Izabela kicked off the episode by talking about her initial thoughts about Google Hangouts On Air for broadcasting. |
