CARVER – A former superintendent of schools has been named as the new chief operations and finance officer for the Carver schools.
The Carver School Committee was introduced Monday night to Ron Griffin, the former superintendent in Scituate, as the replacement for Brad Brothers after he accepted a job in the Plymouth schools.
Griffin was superintendent in Scituate for three years before moving on when his contract expired at the end of the last school year. Previous to that he was deputy director at the Foxborough Regional Charter School, where he had been for about eight years.
Superintendent Scott Knief said Griffin was one of two finalists from a list of five candidates who were interviewed by a team that consisted of administrators, staff and two School Committee members. He is scheduled to start Feb. 1, with Brothers offering to help Carver through the budget process.
If you want to fight muscle loss and weight gain related to aging, add resistance training to your routine. That s the finding of a new study that looked at whether resistance training was as effective for women as it is for men and found that both benefit equally from strength training to fight muscle loss, slow metabolism, fat gain, and the onset of disease.
The difference is women are more reluctant to add resistance training and instead choose cardio as their go-to workout of choice, leaving them more vulnerable to age-related muscle loss, slower metabolism, and more fat gain over time. The study authors recommend that women add regular resistance training into their routine to tone up, get stronger and reverse the aging-related muscle loss that can lead to injuries, disease, and worse sleep and immunity. The findings confirm that both men and women should continue to resistance train as they hit 50 and beyond, to fight the effects of aging on the body.

Carbon dioxide (CO
2) is one of the major greenhouse gases causing global warming. If carbon dioxide could be converted into energy, it would be killing two birds with one stone in addressing the environmental issues. A joint research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a new photocatalyst which can produce methane fuel (CH
4) selectively and effectively from carbon dioxide using sunlight. According to their research, the quantity of methane produced was almost doubled in the first 8 hours of the reaction process.
