In addition to revamping the appeals process, VBA continues to seek Veterans’ input about the services they receive through the launch of a new survey program. Since VA implemented AMA, VBA reduced its inventory of pending appeals by 87%. In Fiscal Year 2021, Higher-Level Reviews are being completed in an average of 124 days, and Supplemental Claims are being completed in an average of 94 days. (Interested? Here’s how to opt-in from the legacy process. Instead, VBA is meeting its average timeliness goals in both the Higher-Level Review and Supplemental Claim lanes. Veterans who chose one of these two new processes no longer wait years for a decision. When AMA was fully implemented two years ago, VBA set a goal to complete decisions in an average of 125 days. Implementing these new decision review processes significantly decreased the number of Veterans waiting for decisions on their disagreements, as well as the time they waited. One of the most popular features of the new law is that Veterans can now decide which of the three options to pursue, based on their situation. These are in addition to a traditional appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA). To get there, VBA worked closely with internal and external partners, including Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs), Veteran advocates, other VA administrations, and Congressional staffers to draft and pass the Veteran Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017 (AMA).ĪMA created two new decision review processes: the Higher-Level Review and the Supplemental Claim. Its replacement required legislative change. Today, the legacy appeals process is closed to new appellants. In that process – now known as “the legacy appeals process” – Veterans could wait three to seven years for a single decision – and even longer if they disagreed with that decision! For years, Veterans have been asking for VA “ to fix the broken appeals process.” Appeals are the result of a Veteran formally disagreeing with the decision that VA made on her compensation claim. One example is the transformation of the appeals process. How has Veteran feedback improved VBA processes? Appeals Modernization Act of 2017 “Most importantly, VBA made these changes based on direct feedback from Veterans.” “Since implementing this framework, VBA has made improvements for Veterans that are powerful and measurable,” said Brianne Ogilvie, executive director of VBA’s Office of Administrative Review, which oversees the process of requesting a decision review on Veterans’ claims decisions. The customer service model then empowers both Veterans and employees to make changes. To meet this goal, VBA built a customer service framework focused on listening to Veterans’ input and improving its processes based on that input. To work toward fulfilling the goal of delivering benefits faster and more effectively, VBA has implemented improvements to the benefits processes – with more improvements planned. VA’s Benefits Administration’s (VBA) goal is to deliver VA benefits and services to Veterans and their families in a responsive, timely and compassionate manner, in recognition of their service to the Nation. Due to improvements in the system and processes, Veterans are now getting more options. Veterans filing disability claims have said they want choices and faster decisions. These sound just as good and clear as anything he was putting on his albums at the time. The only instance in this whole album where I hear any audience noise is in a couple of the choruses of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," where you can faintly hear the audience singing along.Īs a result of that, plus the total lack of banter, in my mind I treat this like a collection of studio takes instead of a concert. ("John Brown" was one I forget the other.) But I removed that during my editing. There were two songs where a bit of clapping could be heard during the fade out. Basically, this whole thing sounds exactly like versions professionally recorded in a studio. No clapping, no coughing, no talking, nothing. Due to the way it was recorded as described above, there is virtually no audience response captured whatsoever. But even in those cases the endings are longer by a few seconds and sound more natural instead of abrupt. There's only one or two, with "Barbara Allen" being such a case, where I couldn't come up with a clear ending, so I had the song fade out. Now, when you listen, the songs sound complete, with proper beginnings and ends. But in fact I think I made little tweaks to all of the songs, but the others weren't as significant. As you can see, I have "" added to 12 of the 17 songs. Songs have repetitive patterns, so I usually was able to take a section in one part of a song and move that to another part of the song to fill in the missing bits. Although my sound editing skills are very basic, this is the kind of thing I can tinker with. But for whatever reason, the editing was so severe that most of the songs were lacking a few seconds either at the beginnings or the ends. It could be the taper had a limited amount of tape and was trying hard to save it to squeeze more songs in - that happened a lot with bootleg recordings back in those days. For whatever reason, on all known versions, there's no banter between songs, and the starts and ends of the songs are often abruptly faded in or faded out. The other songs eventually did get officially released, but only as part of the "50th Anniversary Collection," which was sold in extremely limited numbers (maybe 100 or so) for an extremely limited time to allow the record company to retain the copyrights on the performances. That means it's only 46 minutes long, when the full recording is an hour and five minutes long. For starters, the official album only included 10 of the 17 known recorded songs. An album of the concert called "Live at the Gaslight 1962" was released in 2005. And sure enough, these songs sound great. If you don't know what that means, basically, that's as good of a soundboard as you could hope to get with 1962 technology and expertise. A professional sound engineer, Richard Alderson, patched a reel-to-reel tape recorder into the P.A. In October 1962, Dylan played at the Gaslight Cafe in New York City. So there's a lot from him that's worth posting. He's been very prolific for many decades, and much of his interesting music hasn't made it to his official albums. In the past few days, I've really gotten into a Bob Dylan mood, so I'm going to post a bunch of his stuff soon (knock on wood).

Imagine a place of wonder,where magic and technology hold equal sway, and an adventurer might just as easily wield a flintlock pistol as a flaming sword. It was even pretty, in a way that holds up well 10 years later. It enjoyed the perfect combination of being absolutely massive in scope “it’s all of human history, and you’re driving it”, while presenting itself in a way that was intuitive and easily comprehensible - and not just by the benchmarks of the strategy genre. Nate: Despite having plenty of love for the games to either side in the series (Graham still reckons 2005’s Civ 4 is better), something about Civ 5’s iteration on uncle Sid’s original recipe, especially once it had all its DLC in place, was magic. As ever, Civ 5 was about taking a human population from the age of fistfights in sheds made of bone, right through to spaceman times, via the foundation and development of cities, the research of new technologies, and the knackering of other peoples’ cities through war. The first fresh civ game of the decade, 2010’s Civilization 5 - complete with its transformative Gods & Kings and Brave New World expansions - arguably set the high water mark for the series to date. I’ve not played it for many years but I remember all these names, their real characters, and the ones I made up. Having Wrex, the best character in the whole series, welcome me as his old friend, only made the whole thing more perfect. Then I did his loyalty mission, and in that short level he became the complex character such a huge storyline deserved. Shockingly, everyone loves Mordin and everyone loathes Miranda (jokes about Thane being a sex pest, Morinth and Jack being teenagers, or Grunt eating Jacob’s many pets were a mixed bag). Sin: Years before I invaded RPS, I made a novelty Twitter account that posted alternative endings to Mass Effect 3, which I still haven’t played. Mass Effect 2 made it feel alive, and made me realise why - and for who - I was fighting to save it. Reader, when Archangel took off their helmet, I nearly fell off my chair with joy.Īlice0: The first Mass Effect made the galaxy feel big. He told me to tell him when I got to the mission in Mass Effect 2 where you recruit the sniper Archangel, so he could sit in and watch my reaction. When I played Mass Effect, it was at the behest of my university housemate, who'd already played both. Maybe that's too much to ask of other games, though. But playing Mass Effect 2, in the very specific context of having played the first Mass Effect, was an experience that no other game has equalled since. The combat controls were a massive improvement on the original, and putting Shepard in the employ of a shady independent company gave an extra frisson to the Y/N moral choices you make in a Mass Effect game. A shooty squad action game rather than turn based fantasy, this middle instalment in Commander Shepard's epic sci-fi adventure provides you with aliens to smooch, friends to reunite with, and high concept shenanigans to have.Īlice Bee: Mass Effect 2 will always be the ultimate Mass Effect for me.

The study of SF has enjoyed a renaissance over the last 15 years, after its initial discovery and characterization in the 1960s-1980s. Converting one singlet into one triplet (intersystem crossing (ISC)) is spin-forbidden and typically slow, but the ability of a triplet pair to exist in an overall singlet state, usually denoted 1(TT), removes this constraint and allows SF to be very efficient. Singlet fission (SF) is an excited state relaxation channel in which a spin singlet state (S) converts into a pair of triplet states (TT). When considered in the context of other results, our data suggest that the production of triplets in tetracene for temperatures below 250 K is a complex process that is sensitive to the presence of structural defects. A kinetic analysis shows that the redshifted emission seen at lower temperatures cannot be an intermediate in the triplet production. At very long times (≈1 μs) a delayed fluorescence component corresponding to the original S 1 state can still be resolved, unlike in polycrystalline films. For temperatures in the range 20 K to 250 K, the singlet exciton continues to undergo a rapid decay on the order of 200 ps, leaving a red-shifted emission that decays on the order of 100 ns. All the data for T>250 K are consistent with direct production of a spatially separated 1(T.T) state via a thermally activated process, analogous to spontaneous parametric downconversion of photons. The damping rate of the triplet pair spin quantum beats in the delayed fluorescence also exhibits an Arrhenius temperature dependence with an activation energy of 165☗0 cm −1. The fission process is insensitive to this localization and exhibits Arrhenius behavior with an activation energy of 550±50 cm −1. Over the temperature range 250 K to 500 K, the vibronic lineshape of the emission indicates that the singlet exciton becomes localized at 400 K. The temperature dependent fluorescence spectrum, decay rate and spin quantum beats are examined in single tetracene crystals to gain insight into the mechanism of singlet fission.

It was a finalist for an award from The National Jewish Book Council for 2013. Her memoir, Looking for Strangers: The True Story of my Hidden Wartime Childhood, was published by the University of Chicago Press in October 2013. She has also translated several books from French by Marguerite Yourcenar and a novel by Henri Raczymow. She has published many poems and translations from the French in anthologies, journals, and reviews, and has published a bi-lingual book of poetry, Hiding in Other People’s Houses, with her poems translated into Spanish. She went on to earn a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Iowa and is currently Professor Emeritus of Modern Languages and Literature from Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, where she taught French and Modern European Literature for several decades. Reunited after the war, she and her mother came to America in 1952. The first attempt at a Holocaust remembrance day was a 1948 decision by the Israeli chief rabbinate that the 10th of Tevetan early winter fast day commemorating the beginning of the siege that led to the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 bce would be the day to recite the memorial Kaddish.

It resulted in universal consequences and implications in various other parts of the world. Those countries were profoundly impacted by the Holocaust in which the Nazi crimes were perpetrated. Many more individuals across the world were able to witness it on television as the ceremony was broadcasted live. Around 2,200 people attended the commemoration. The first commemoration ceremony of International Holocaust Remembrance Day was conducted on 27 January 2026 at the UN Headquarters in New York. Final Solution refers to the systematic mass murder of Jews of Europe. The resolution also encourages the UN member states to actively preserve sites that the Nazis used during the “Final Solution” like killing centres, concentration camps, and prisons. The Resolution 60/7, not only honours the victims of the Holocaust but also rejects any kind of Holocaust denial. The day marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The UN General Assembly adopted resolution 60/7 to declare 27 January as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on 1 November, 2005. The full name of the day commemorating the victims of the Holocaust is Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah literally the Day of (Remembrance of) the Holocaust and the Heroism. The educational activities conducted by the global body on this day draws attention towards the actions taken by survivors to reclaim their rights, history, traditions, cultural heritage, and their dignity. UN offices across the globe and other state offices also observe their own ceremonies. Official commemorations are held by the UN Headquarters every year. Every member state is urged by the UN on this day to develop educational programs to help in the prevention of future genocides. The day is observed to honour the six million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust, and millions of other victims of Nazism. The International Holocaust Remembrance Day is marked on 27 January each year by the United Nations (UN). If you’ve been reading the papers, you know it’s in a bad way for a lot of reasons, a big one being the impact of the internet. (I’ve been using ballpoints filched from my dentist’s office and Weight Watchers meetings.) And I call myself a writer.Īs it happens, 2020 marked the 50th anniversary of the USPS. I also own a classic Montblanc fountain pen that I’ve used just once in the last decade. It was a gift from a friend in England back in 2000, and even then it seemed sweetly archaic. I have some lovely embossed stationery from Smythson of Bond Street that I’ve never used. It’s not like I don’t have the letter-writing hardware. But I haven’t sat down with pen and paper in recent memory to send my best to or catch up with a friend. Yes, I religiously send Christmas and birthday cards (though, sadly, fewer every year), and lately more condolence cards than I’d prefer. Here’s where I make a confession: I haven’t been holding up my end as a correspondent. A postcard meant a friend was thinking of you and wanted you to share in their experience (“wish you were here”). You could put them on display on the refrigerator or the family bulletin board. Speaking of postcards, I haven’t received one since I don’t remember when. Some of my fondest memories are preserved in those boxes. And how do you save an email or text for posterity? In my garage, I have several shoeboxes full of letters and postcards that I received over the years from girlfriends, wives, old pals, beloved relatives, colleagues, and far-flung acquaintances. Could there be anything colder than a Dear John text? You can’t even rip it up. I ask you, where’s the passion in an emailed love letter? No matter how many emoji hearts and kisses are attached, it’s still just pixels on a screen. There’s no warmth in digital greetings, whereas a handwritten and -addressed card or letter can lift the spirits and bring a special joy. Ultimately though, emails, texts, and Facebook posts don’t cut it for me. As mediums, they’re everything we prize nowadays: fast, convenient, accessible. I send plenty of emails, I text several times a day, and I’ve been known to post photos and share memes on Facebook.
