![]() Technically it is to me since it’s also my Sigmaversary.Founder’s Day feels like a mini-holiday to you.Me and SoRHOr Rita Usher right after I met her at Regionals.Your first time meeting a new SoRHOr could feel like you’ve known her forever.Whether you live in a small town with only a couple or SGRhos or a large one with many, you are always willing to give a helping hand to your sister.You’re always willing to help another SoRHOr in need.Whether you are “RHOad” tripping or just sitting around talking, you can find laughs out of anything when SoRHOrs are present.Hanging out with your SoRHOrs is always a blast.That is no coincidence that they are Sigmas. So many of our SoRHOrs have PHD’s and do other wonderful things involving education.You truly believe in the education of youth, of others and of course, for yourself.You feel the need to give back to the community and want to make a difference.If you meet someone who doesn’t know about Sigma Gamma Rho, you feel the need to inform them.You get goose bumps when singing the sorority hymn at Regionals, Boule or even after a chapter meeting.You celebrate the 22 nd of every month.I don’t like non-SoRHOrs wearing our colors…especially when they are at a SGRho event.You freak out inwardly or outwardly if you see someone wearing your colors and they are not a SGRho.Auto-correct be damned! I’ll spell “RepRHOsent” like that if I want to! I can’t even properly spell rhoyal without the rho.You put “Rho” in any word that allows it…and some words that don’t allow it.I get really irked when someone calls me or any SoRHOr, “Rho.” I just can’t stand it and have to correct them.When someone uses the term “Rho” you feel as if someone has called you out of your name.And let’s not forget finding those double digit numbered Tikis. Those who have more than a handful of TS’s usually find it hard to meet other SoRHOrs who have the same number as them. Of course this doesn’t apply to every SoRHOr.You can probably count the number of Torch Sisters you have on one or two hands.When I was a neo, I was definitely guilty of only buying clothes in blue or gold.Your mother and/or friends complain that you only shop for blue and gold clothes. ![]() In the next few years, I’m sure to have more randomness. In my collection I have SGR post-its, pencils, notebooks, phone covers and a lanyard.You have random items or trinkets with Sigma Gamma Rho letters on it or in blue and gold. ![]() You could be going to the grocery store, the mall, or the airport, you just feel like wearing blue and gold.

![]() Working at 94WIP over the last decade has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I'm grateful to Chris Oliviero and Audacy for the opportunity. "It's an iconic station with incredible talent, and I'm looking forward to the challenge. "I'm humbled and excited for the opportunity to help lead WFAN into its next chapter," said Eskin. As a long-time colleague of Spike, I am excited that he has joined our all-star team and have no doubt that he will succeed." "Along with CBS Sports Radio, his experience will be ideal to fuel our sports production powerhouse of 48 hours a day of original audio, 12 hours of quality television, all alongside a vibrant digital and social experience for both New York and the nation. "Spike has the vision, creativity, and drive to craft the next chapter of the iconic and influential WFAN brand," said Chris Oliviero, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy New York. Chernoff will remain in his current position through the transition and officially step down on June 30. ![]() Eskin, who previously served as Brand Manager of Philadelphia sister station SportsRadio 94WIP (WIP-FM) in Philadelphia, will transition to oversee both WFAN AND CBS SPORTS RADIO, including their full portfolios of broadcast, digital and live experience assets, effective July 1.Įskin succeeds radio programming veteran Mark Chernoff, who recently announced he would be stepping down from day-to-day oversight of both brands. ![]() Audacy announced Spike Eskin as Vice President of Programming for WFAN 101.9 FM / 660 AM (WFAN-FM) in New York and CBS SPORTS RADIO.

![]() The simplest and most common tidal system places one or more turbines underwater in a tidal stream. At this time, there are a few main types of systems used to capture tidal energy. They can either float or rest on the sea floor, and they can operate singly or in arrays (groups). Tide-powered turbines can work anywhere there’s a strong enough tidal current-natural or artificial. Source: National Energy Education Development Project (Public Domain) Types of tidal systems Tidal energy can also be used to supply power for ocean industries such as aquaculture or ocean research. These turbines drive generators, and underwater cables transmit the electricity into the grid. Tidal turbines work like wind turbines, but they’re turned by the flow of water rather than air. Tidal energy systems do the same thing with the water currents created by the tide rolling in and out. How does tidal energy work?įor over 140 years, we’ve been using hydropower, or the flow of water in rivers, to power electric generators. But we’ve only learned to convert it to electricity within the last 60 years. More than 1,000 years ago, we started using it to turn water wheels for grinding grain. ![]() Humans have used the power of the tides for thousands of years to launch boats. ![]() This animation from SciJinks shows how it works. This pulls water away from other ocean areas, creating low tide. In these areas, the water in the oceans rises, creating a high tide. It causes the earth to deform slightly, bulging outward on the sides directly facing the moon and directly opposite. However, this pull is strongest in the areas closest to the moon. The moon’s gravity exerts a force on all parts of the earth. Specifically, it comes from the pull of the moon-and, to a lesser degree, the sun-on the earth’s oceans. Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a by-product of gravity. Scientists will need to find ways around them to make tidal power a major energy source. But this technology is quite new, and it has a lot of limitations. Using turbines, we can harness the power of moving water to generate electricity. Today, we can take advantage of that regular ebb and flow as an energy source. It goes in and out twice a day like clockwork, and nothing can change it. TIDAL BARRAGE - Large environmental footprint upstream and downstream of the barrage.Hundreds of years ago, Geoffrey Chaucer said: “Time and tide wait for no man.” This quote highlights how regular and predictable the tide is. TIDAL STREAM Currently smaller scale but capacity will increase as the industry matures TIDAL BARRAGE - Can be developed on a large scale as part of a wider infrastructure project TIDAL BARRAGE Others – these tend to major civil engineering infrastructure projects TIDAL STREAM This the type of tidal energy Nova Innovation develops A tidal lagoon works on the same principle, but the dam walls form a loop from the shore, rather than across the width of the river. ![]() TIDAL BARRAGE Involves building a specialised dam across the width of a river/estuary to take advantage of the change in the tide levels to produce power. The flow of water causes the blades to spin and generate electricity. TIDAL STREAM Captures energy from the moving water in the tide using devices that look like underwater wind turbines. |
