SGI releases definition for excessive loudness, will hold education daysSGI releases definition for excessive loudness, will hold education days

July 15, 2023| 6:28 am

SGI is making some noise about their work in defining how loud is too loud for vehicles in Saskatchewan. Previously, no exact definition was set for when a vehicle was too loud, with drivers and enforcement officers having to guess. This applies to all light vehicles such as passenger cars, pickup trucks, minivans, SUVs and motorcycles. Now, with the new definition, SGI Spokesperson Tyler McMurchy is hoping the new information helps people to keep the streets quiet. “The standard of 101.3 decibels was based on research conducted by SGI on federally compliant vehicles. I believe they went to a dealership…

Great Education Leaders Define RealityGreat Education Leaders Define Reality

July 13, 2023| 6:21 am

I once worked at a university that was complacent about its position among the nation’s institutions. Everyone seemed to assume that this private institution was exceptional, from the president and board of trustees to some of the academics, concerned citizens, and alumni. Every institution, in my opinion, should have a spirit of achievement and quality, but it must be realistic. If it is not, you will continue to believe that your company is succeeding, despite all the signals pointing to serious problems. What Happens When Universities Live in a Fantasy World? The CEO is the person in charge of defining…

Opinions | The Supreme Court Has Banned Affirmative Action. What’s Next for College Admissions?Opinions | The Supreme Court Has Banned Affirmative Action. What’s Next for College Admissions?

July 11, 2023| 5:39 am

As of last week, universities face a new legal constraint: the Supreme Court has severely restricted the use of race as a factor in admissions. Nothing in its decision, however, frees universities from their moral obligation to create on-ramps for talented students from all backgrounds. Talent exists everywhere; opportunity does not. Finding it and nurturing it remain entirely consistent with the mission of higher education and, indeed, vital to our democracy. More than in any other setting, students who are raised in homogeneous neighborhoods and schools first encounter differences — class, racial, ethnic and religious — in college. It is…

Biodegradation of Cyanide Wastes: A Sustainable Solution for the Mining and Jewellery Industries, and its Relevance to Lab-Made Diamonds Biodegradation of Cyanide Wastes: A Sustainable Solution for the Mining and Jewellery Industries, and its Relevance to Lab-Made Diamonds

July 7, 2023| 7:09 am

Cyanide is a highly toxic compound commonly used in the mining and jewellery industries for various processes, including gold extraction and metal finishing. The disposal of cyanide wastes poses significant environmental challenges due to its potential to contaminate water sources and harm ecosystems. However, advancements in biodegradation techniques offer promising solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of cyanide wastes, even in industries such as lab made diamonds. The mining industry, particularly gold mining, has historically relied on cyanide leaching to extract precious metals from ores. The resulting waste streams, often containing residual cyanide, can be highly toxic to aquatic life…
