Mandy Smith, Haddington I was diagnosed with stage 1 bowel cancer in March 2021, aged 54. In December 2020, I noticed blood in my stools and spoke to my GP. My GP asked when I last did a bowel screening as I am 54, I told him that I had one done when I was 50 but had not received a test since. My GP advised that I should have completed a second one as they were supposed to be done every two years but things were running behind due to Covid and he told me to contact the bowel screening programme and request a test be sent out. A couple of weeks after doing the test I got a letter advising me that my test was positive and I needed to have a colonoscopy and that a telephone screening appointment had been set up for the next day. At that point alarm bells started ringing and my anxiety levels went through the roof, but I was advised that in 95% of cases the blood in the stools was not due to bowel cancer, but it didn't stop me worrying. I had heard lots of horror stories about the bowel prep and the colonoscopy but to be honest I didn't have any issues. I had MoviPrep, which I prepared a few hours before and chilled in the fridge, it had a lemon taste to it and a slightly strange consistency but I didn't find it unpleasant. It had to be taken in two parts a number of hours apart and each time it took about 45 minutes to work. I thought that I would be stuck on the loo for ages watching my mobile phone with a sore bottom, but I wasn't, I was in full control all the time. I had sedation for the procedure but to be honest it was only mild, I was relaxed and comfortable and watched the procedure and remembered everything and adjusted my positioning on the table when asked to do so. The only very mild discomfort I felt was as the camera moved around a bend and it was so brief it isn't really worth the mention. Two polyps were found and removed one was 4mm and clearly benign and the other was a 15mm sessile polyp. On my colonoscopy report it stated the 4mm benign was extracted completely and the 15mm sessile polyp was a reasonable lift. I went to recovery and a nurse came and gave me my report and advised that the polyps had gone off to biopsy. A week or so later I got a call from the lady who had done the colonoscopy advising that the sessile polyp had come back as cancerous. She apologised to me saying that she hadn't been too concerned about it and was shocked at the biopsy results. That was it, I had cancer. At that point it was like my life stopped, I was absolutely terrified. I was told that I would get appointments sent within 14 days for an MRI and CT scan and I would probably need surgery. It seemed surreal, everything was happening so fast and I didn't understand what or why but I soon learned that these scans were to see if the cancer had spread. I met with the consultant who advised that the scans showed that the cancer appeared to have been caught early and appeared to have been confined to the polyp that had been removed but they could not be sure and recommended that I have surgery to remove the area of the sigmoid colon either side of the area where the polyp was removed so that it could be checked for any residual cancer cells. I went ahead with the surgery as I needed to know for certain that the cancer was gone and that I wasn't a ticking time bomb. I had my surgery on 9 June. I was physically fit as I went to the gym regularly but in the lead up to surgery I increased my sessions and increased my protein intake. I have to say on reflection despite all my prep and reading up on the low anterior resection, I don't think anything could have prepared me for the enormity of the surgery. I was puzzled before the surgery as to why I needed to do breathing exercises as part of my enhanced recovery, I understand why now. I think I sailed up to and through the surgery but it wasn't until four or five days post-surgery that everything sunk in. I was up and moving around the day after the surgery and made a fairly good recovery. I remember the first time post-surgery that I passed wind I couldn't wait to tell my nurse, it was a cause for celebration and a high five. Once upon a time I would discretely pass wind and suddenly I wanted the world to know what I had done!! How things change... After six days I managed to open my bowels, it was my passport home, but I was incredibly constipated, I thought I would have loose stools and be rushing back and forth to the loo but I was constipated. Once at home I was told to just focus on my recovery, the pathology results would take about four weeks. For the first couple of weeks I did focus on my recovery as I was struggling with spasms in my back passage and general soreness but as these eased somewhat my mind reverted back to a state of heightened anxiety as I waited for my results. Although I had been told that my cancer had been caught early, I would often ask my partner to remind me of what the consultant had said at my pre-surgery consultation. It was like I had not been at that initial consultation! I recently got my results T1 N0 M0. I will be checked over the next three years. I know that I am very lucky, I have been on a journey like no other, the loneliest journey of my life. I don't think I will ever be able to get over the enormity of the feelings that I experienced during that period of diagnosis through to treatment and outcome. I now look forward to spending a lot more time with family, making memories in a way that I never did before, everything has so much more meaning, it’s the simplest things in life that make all the difference.
Northland's switched from a variety of platforms to WebGuide and integrated StaffConnect for their school division and 24 schools. About the Client Before the big switch to WebGuide for Schools, Northlands was using a variety of platforms to communicate within their community. Now, on the same platform, they have a new division website and each school has their own site on which they can communicate their own news within their community. About the Project The site was designed to feature the cultural roots of Northland's communities and to allow users to find information quickly and easily. The home page offers a beautiful display of the division news, upcoming events, information about their schools and their division. In order to satisfy the continuing increase of mobile usage, the site was designed to be fully fluid and responsive for each visitor to have the best experience, on a desktop or mobile device. Built on the WebGuide for Schools CMS, the division website is easy for administrators to update and intuitive to use. With an extensive focus on the community’s culture, the site has been filled with imagery that showcases both nature and student success! Northland has also integrated SatffConnect, a secure intranet that houses all of the division resources, policies and procedures, documents, news, and events. When it comes to school website design, straight forward navigation is key. Parents, teachers, and students need to communicate with each other, which can be difficult to do. At Box Clever, we created a custom Content Management System, WebGuide for Schools (WGS) that creates consistency throughout the whole district. Each school is on the same CMS, each website has the same features and tools, and they are all branded as part of Northland School Division. This consistent layout and feel ensures that all visitors are quickly and easily able to get the information that they need. Admin time is significantly reduced thanks to our simple to use system and effective set up and training. A half-day training session for staff is typically all the time that many schools need to create their fully-populated, ready to launch websites! The system is so easy to understand that the designated staff members trained by our team at Box Clever are then able to return to their schools and provide training to the rest of their school. WebGuide for Schools also allows for staff to have access to multiple school sites, along with access at the district level. Each school has the choice of 30+ website templates and the option of customizing those templates by implementing a custom colour or design. If a school is looking for a fresh, new look it’s as easy as logging into WebGuide and selecting a new template - all content is automatically switched over to the new template without any additional work. A refresh has never been so easy! Push notifications for favourite buses, with information that pulls directly from WebGuide.

The BRC is supported by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), a not-for-profit research institute which recieves support from Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) National Capability funding. The work of BRC is a major component of the National Biodiversity Network (NBN). News from the Biological Records Centre The National Forum for Biological Recording's annual conference will take place in person at the YMa Pontypridd in south Wales (near Cardiff) on Thu 09 May 2024 until Sat 11 May 2024. The conference will consist of two days at YMa Pontypridd hearing from a range of biodiversity… We were pleased to be able to host a meeting for national recording schemes again in 2024, at the UKCEH offices in Wallingford on 9 March, the previous meeting having been back in 2020 in Edinburgh. A wide range of recording schemes… What we do Working in partnership with more than 80 recording schemes and societies, BRC provides a national capability to support and encourage biological recording for a wide range of plant and animal groups, improving how data is collected, made available and used. BRC helps the recording community to publish atlases, data and other online resources to provide essential information which informs research, policy and the conservation of our heritage of wildlife. As part of this work we provide website hosting and development support. We apply innovative use of technology and science excellence to help harness the enthusiasm and knowledge of naturalists, and enable them to collate and analyse their records. Many CEH staff contribute towards the work of BRC; they are listed on our staff page. Why we do it The historical legacy of biological recording in Britain and Ireland is unique and inspiring. Many naturalists are committed to studying our flora and fauna, and BRC’s work helps to ensure that we make the most of their observations. The vast datasets built up through the expertise and commitment of the volunteer recording community enables a range of ecological questions to be addressed. The value of recording data is enhanced through innovative use of technology and analytical methods, plus integration with other data sources on the ecology of species and the physical environment. Distribution trends derived from the large-scale and long-term datasets provide evidence for many purposes, particularly in relation to understanding impacts of climate and habitat change, to informing policy to reduce negative impacts.
If you liked the movie Outland or the series Firefly, then you’re likely a fan of the “Space Western” genre (aka Sci Fi Western). If you appreciate characters like Philip Marlowe or Max Hoover, then you probably enjoy a noir detective story. With Mike Kupari’s Trouble Walked In, you get a little bit of both. I knew she was trouble the moment she walked in. Maybe it was the way she carried herself, striding in like she owned the place. Mike Kupari’s Trouble Walked In doesn’t open with those lines, but they set the stage for the science fiction author’s latest extraterrestrial mystery adventure novel. “She” is Dagny Blake, a troubled femme-fatale searching for her missing sister, who disappeared while working for Ascension Planetary Holdings Group, the largest and most powerful corporation on the planet of New Columbia. Fearing foul play, Dagny turns to private investigator Ezekiel “Easy” Novak for some discreet assistance. Without ruining the plot, let’s just say that Easy takes the job and soon finds himself enmeshed in corporate and government conspiracies that could impact every human being on New Columbia and even beyond.Trouble Walked In successfully plays on familiar literary tropes like the jaded, distant, private eye who’s seen too much of mankind’s seedy underside. Nothing surprises Novak anymore. But he’s good at his job and the tough exterior hides a heart of gold. And he wears a hat, which instantly had me picturing him as Humphrey Bogart in The Maltese Falcon. I even heard Bogie’s voice in my head when reading his dialogue. Speaking of dialogue, Easy talks the talk, too, calling people “kid” and referring to street punks as “mooks.” Like several other of Kupari’s protagonists, Easy favors a powerful revolver for his sidearm, further hearkening back to the classic detective novels. None of them, however, carried a Sam Houston Mark-Four-pattern Combat Dragoon loaded with .44 caliber armor-piercing, high explosive slugs. Of course, they never had to put down an “amped-up cyborg,” either. A snub .38 just won’t cut it in that situation. Hand phasers and blasters are not part of Kupari’s sci-fi worlds, which usually serves to demonstrate the author’s wide knowledge of firearms. Dagny Blake also fits the detective story stereotype of the attractive “dame” in need of the protagonist’s assistance. She dresses well and her looks inevitably turn heads, but she’s no dummy, nor is she a “damsel in distress.” Dagny proves her worth as the search for her sister unfolds, as Kupari’s female characters usually do. Ever the professional, Easy tries to compartmentalize his instant attraction to his sexy new client and do the job she pays him for. But the tension is there, as in all good stories of the genre. As one might expect, the plot is full of unexpected turns and treacherous characters. Easy is forced to trust people and situations the reader finds questionable. It’s hard to discern who’s telling the truth and who might have ulterior motives. Kupari’s action sequences are good as anyone’s, and, like all good stories, the outcome is in doubt right to the end. As a reader, I found the familiar tropes satisfying. It was like visiting an old friend, but the science fiction setting provided a fresh twist to Easy’s search for the truth. Kupari builds the story from a search for a missing woman to possibly the greatest scientific discovery in human history, along with the moral implications of that discovery. The story never feels stale, and the reader experiences the building menace as Easy closes in on the bad guys. Trouble Walked In is another good seemingly standalone science fiction outing for Kupari. As always, the characters are engaging, and the plot moves along to a satisfying ending. The reader is kept guessing right up to the final revelations. The sci-fi aspect permeates the story but doesn’t overpower it. The characters drive the narrative, as they should.The story’s urban setting seemingly belies this review’s “space western” tag, and it wasn’t until I finished the book that I saw it that way. My Humphrey Bogart-like Ezekiel Novak could just as easily have been Randolph Scott helping the female lead find her missing family member while taking on a giant mining or railroad company. In truth, Novak is often more like the honorable Western hero than the sometimes morally ambiguous film noir detectives of old. He has a clear sense of honor and knows right from wrong. It isn’t hard to picture him riding off into the sunset as opposed to disappearing into the shadowy, rain-slicked city streets.And Dagny Blake, whom I earlier described as a detective story “femme fatale,” could just as easily be the lovely, yet tough Western heroine. Though the story is told from Novak’s point of view, Dagny is an indispensable character and instrumental to the plot’s ultimate outcome. Despite the cityscape, Trouble Walked In has an undeniable frontier feel to it thanks to New Columbia’s space colony status and the fact that the planet is still undergoing Terraforming. In fact, Ascension Planetary Holdings Group is the monolithic corporation doing the Terraforming, occupying the role of our mining or railroad concerns. The company is inevitably wired into the planetary government, reminding us of numerous Western storylines. New Columbia’s barren landscape outside the urban zones adds to this feeling. Kupari makes it quite clear that the planet is still on the forward edge of human-occupied space, with all the uncertainty such a position carries. The scientific discovery around which the plot revolves reinforces that feeling of the unknown. And, once again, Easy’s big revolver reminds us more of Western star Scott than Film Noir Bogie.All told, Trouble Walked In is a well-done piece of escapism. Kupari always delivers. This was the last, and not just the latest, of his books that I’ve read. Just like all the others, I was glued to the story, and I liked the ending, which I can’t always say about speculative fiction. If you like good, engaging novels with a sci-fi-Western vibe, check out Mike Kupari. You won’t be disappointed.

Build a Better Body Image with Our Baltimore Personal Trainers The quest for a “perfect body” is shared by billions of people all over the world. Guess what? You can stop looking. There is no such thing as a perfect body. Is dissatisfaction with what you see in the mirror interfering with your ability to enjoy life to its fullest? Hopefully, the answer to that question is “no.” But even if it is “yes”, you have the power to change things for the better from the inside out, starting right now! Here’s a closer look at why body image is so important, along with something you can do to turn any body image negative into a huge positive. It’s time to look in the mirror and love the skin you’re in. Why Body Image Matters Everywhere you look today you’re bombarded with images of beautiful people with “perfect” bodies. While this used to be limited to what was on television and in magazines, the digital age has completely changed the body image game — and not for the better. From social media to selfies, the appearance imperative has never been stronger or more omnipresent. But it’s not just the media that’s to blame. Also playing a role in poor body image is your mirror! Explains Psychology Today, “When we habitually look in the mirror to check and adjust how we look on the outside, we can also get in the habit of ignoring how we’re actually feeling on the inside…We begin to see ourselves as things when we look in the mirror — instead of as real people.” Do not let yourself fall into that mental trap. Remember that you are so much more than an object in a mirror! Why does body image matter so much anyway? University of Florida exercise psychologist and co-author Heather Hausenblas, co-author of the study, “Effects of Exercise Interventions on Body Image,” published in the Journal of Health Psychology, notes: “Body dissatisfaction is a huge problem in our society and is related to all sorts of negative behavior including yo-yo dieting, smoking, taking steroids and undergoing cosmetic surgery. It affects men and women and all ages, starting with kids who are as young as five years old saying they don’t like how their bodies look.” Embracing Better Body Image With the media’s representation of near-impossible standard of beauty, it’s easy to get caught up in the false expectation that reaching a particular weight loss or exercise goal will lead to satisfaction. As it turns out, however, this is not the case. In fact, Hausenblas and her team determined that attaining fitness-related milestones actually has no impact on body image. However, something else does: the mere act of exercising. (To start exercising today, sign up for a trial pass.) Explained Hausenblas, “You would think that if you become more fit that you would experience greater improvements in terms of body image, but that’s not what we found. It may be that the requirements to receive the psychological benefits of exercise, including those relating to body image, differ substantially from the physical benefits.” The overall takeaway for those looking to enjoy better comprehensive health through better body image? As McMaster University kinesiology professor Kathleen Martin Ginis told UF News: “This is an important study because it shows that doing virtually any type of exercise, on a regular basis, can help people feel better about their bodies. With such a large segment of the population dissatisfied with their physiques, it’s encouraging to know that even short, frequent bouts of lower intensity exercise can improve body image.” The truth is that the “perfect body” does not exist. While exercising helps you get a better body, following a fitness plan can do something even more important than that: It can make you feel better — not just about your body, but about yourself as a person. For a jumpstart on both, download our ebook, “4 Weeks to a Better Body,” today. After you read all the great information found there, you can put it all to use by signing up for a personal trainer session

The post Litecoin Show Signs Of Bull Run: Analyst Michael Van De Poppe Maps Next High Levels appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Due to the ongoing volatility among the main market movers, Litecoin’s price action at the start of the month had been bumpy. The majority of altcoins have decreased in value together with bitcoin during the past month. However, with a strong performance on Christmas Day, Litecoin became the biggest gainer. This improved its performance and pushed it in front of market leaders like bitcoin and Ethereum. Nevertheless, LTC had a problem just before reaching $70. This implies that if you beat $70, LTC will probably rise quickly to $80. But for LTC, $100 is still a long way off. Litecoin was ranked fourth among active cryptocurrency projects by LunarCrush. But the upcoming halving event in August 2023, which could signal a positive trend for Litecoin, is a significant event to watch out for. The block reward could then fall by another 50% to 6.25 LTC when this occurs. As long as demand is high, this drop in supply can result in an increase in price. Cryptocurrency analyst Michael Van De Poppe said that LTC Price is continuing to show strength. According to Glassnode Data, the Puell multiple was 0.77. The Puell Multiple contrasts the 365-day moving average with each day’s coin issuance. A multiple of the average Puell is indicated by the current figure. The profitability of the miners was therefore somewhere between low and huge profits. The profitability of the Litecoin network, according to Santiment, was -11,300.

The Orange Man pioneered the distribution of neg-am mortgages to the masses, and then hoodwinked Wall Street into thinking the loans were worthy of buying in tranches – yet he didn’t want to take the blame and instead enjoyed his retirement as a member at all the private golf clubs around Brentwood. Some of his best quotes: In 2006, when Mozilo was the chief of the mortgage lender Countrywide Financial, the firm originated $461 billion worth of loans — close to $41 billion of which were subprime. Subprime loans were responsible for the global financial crisis. Mozilo was also charged by securities regulators of insider trading and securities fraud. Once named as one of the best chief executives in the United States, the disgraced CEO was subsequently named as the second worst US chief executive of all time by Conde Nast Portfolio. “I’m fairly confident that we’re not going to do anything stupid,” he told The Wall Street Journal in 2004 when asked about the risks of a housing bubble. “We have a history of not doing anything stupid.” Yet Countrywide, like many other lenders, embraced riskier types of loans. By August 2007, Wall Street worried that Countrywide might go bankrupt. In January 2008, Bank of America agreed to buy Countrywide for what seemed like a bargain-basement price, $2.5 billion, which was less than 10% of what it was worth in 2007. It was no bargain. The acquisition ended up costing Bank of America tens of billions of dollars in real-estate losses, legal expenses and settlements with regulators. Mozilo retired from Countrywide, at age 69, a few months after the sale to BofA. Later, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused him of fraud, saying he had offered rosy assessments of Countrywide while dumping nearly $140 million of Countrywide stock. In 2010, he agreed to settle the SEC’s charges without admitting or denying wrongdoing. He also agreed to pay $67.5 million in penalties; the bulk of that was covered by indemnities from Bank of America. In interviews in 2018 and 2020, Mozilo told the Journal he had been unfairly singled out for blame in the aftermath of the housing bust. “I was very visible,” he said. “Anytime I was asked to go on TV, I did it.” As a result, he said, “When the s— hit the fan, everybody looked at me.” Mozilo had defended himself several times against accusations that he was a key architect of the 2007-2009 financial crisis. “Somehow, for some unknown reason, I got blamed for it,” he earlier said. Mozilo had reason to cheer as well. In 2006, he was paid $48 million, beating JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon by $10 million and Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis by $20 million. From 2000 until 2008, Mozilo received total compensation of $521.5 million, according to Equilar, a compensation-research firm. Looking back on those boom years, Mozilo said Countrywide had been swept up in a “gold rush” mentality that had overtaken the US. “Housing prices were rising so rapidly — at a rate that I’d never seen in my 55 years in the business — that people, regular people, average people got caught up in the mania of buying a house, and flipping it, making money,” he said in a 2010 interview with the US Congress-appointed Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. “Housing suddenly went from being part of the American dream to house my family to settle down — it became a commodity,” he said. “That was a change in the culture.”

CoolHaus Ice Cream, Awesome, Banana Foster 1 pt Banana ice cream, rum, dulce de leche swirl. About This Flavor: Upon a visit to one of the all-time great restaurants in New Orleans, and the country, Commander's Palace, we became inspired to turn their Bananas Foster dessert, which was originally created there, into an addictive ice cream flavor. Besides our obsession with this dessert, we are huge fans of pioneering restaurant and co-founder of Commander's Palace, Ella Brennan. We were almost moved to tears when our Bananas Foster pint was given a shout out in the 'Commanding the Table' documentary about her! This is super premium, indulgent ice cream. Born & raised in LA, our story. How did I get here? - Once in a lifetime, the talking heads. Good questions. In 2008, we had a quarter life crisis amidst the recession. We started baking cookies and churning ice cream (obvi), and naming the combos punnily after architects for comic relief at our architecture and real estate offices as everyone was getting laid off. We bough an un-drive-able ice cream truck on Craigslist, and masterminded triple A to tow us our first event. We saw an opportunity because nobody had re-invented the bus and nobody was selling hand-crafted, unique ice cream at supermarkets. As food truck and artisanal ice cream pioneers, we dove in and never looked back. Born in LA but coming to a galaxy near you. - Natasha & Freya, Owners & Founders.

- On Friday's "Live with Kelly and Ryan," Kelly Ripa spoke about her son's difficulties finding work post-grad. - The TV host said she gave her son Michael, 25, a one-year "grace period" after his 2020 graduation. - Ripa explained that she and Consuelos support their children financially due to the economy and rising costs. Kelly Ripa opened up about her son's job prospects during the COVID-19 pandemic on Friday's episode of "Live with Kelly and Ryan." The television host explained how she and her husband Mark Consuelos supported their oldest son, Michael, after his 2020 college graduation. "Adulting is hard nowadays. It's very hard for kids. Job opportunities aren't what they were. The economy is driving this trend." said Ripa. "I know that Michael graduated college in May of 2020 and he had a writing job lined up which evaporated because the pandemic shut down the production and it just never came back." In addition to Michael, Ripa and Consuelos share a daughter Lola, 21, and a son Joaquin, 19. Ripa said she and Consuelos gave Michael a year-long "grace period" after his post-grad job fell through. Ripa also revealed that she financially supports her children, as long as they maintain jobs and other responsibilities. "I said to them, these are years that you won't get back and this is a time where we won't mind supporting you financially as long as you work — as long as you maintain a job for your add-ons, as I call them," Ripa said on the show. Ripa said that she and her husband provide "safety nets" for their children because they didn't grow up with that financial support. "The bells and whistles; the stuff that they want — as long as you work for that, we will cover the core expenses, but once you graduate, that's over," she continued. "Because we were married at 25, you know what I mean? And we feel like because we didn't have safety nets, we got something cooking." Ripa shared that it's a "unique time right now to have kids in college." In September, Ripa opened up to Insider about her life with Consuelos now that they're empty nesters. She spoke candidly about a vacation they took without their children, and the freedom they felt while focusing on their relationship. "It was luxurious and adventurous," Ripa told Insider. "We didn't get bored. Our kids called us several times because they thought we might miss them or that we were bored in some way. And we tried to pretend, 'It's not as much fun without you guys,' but we had the time of our lives."

Passwords for government networks written on sticky notes. A lack of basic cybersecurity. Requests to improve the system that went ignored. Employees sleeping on the job. Others who watched TV. Emails released Tuesday by the state agency responsible for sending out the false missile alert that sent residents and visitors in Hawaii into a statewide panic Jan. 13 reveal an alarmingly relaxed work environment where warnings went ignored and employees were unsupervised. The state released over 300 pages of emails — some of which are heavily or completely redacted — from the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency’s then-administrator Vern Miyagi and Maj. Gen. Arthur Joe Logan, and a handful from Brig. Gen. Kenneth Hara, who was appointed by the governor to review the response. "It's an obvious statement we let the people of Hawaii down," an employee said in a lengthy email to Miyagi sent the day after the false alert fiasco. The employee then outlined perceived problems at Hawaii's State Warning Point that led to the error. The employee, whose name is redacted, said that the emergency management agency had been resistant to workers inside the State Warning Point doing "work other than monitoring to ensure they are not distracted." However, the email added, "this has created an environment without stimulation that leads to other types of distractions." Instead, employees watched "movies or tv shows" and at least once all three workers on duty were caught sleeping, the email said. "Approximately two weeks ago, it was reported to me by a staff member who came in early that they observed all 3 SWP staff on shift asleep," the employee wrote. "The staff member said he wanted to address this with the personnel directly before going to the supervisor. I should have reported it." The email also listed at least half a dozen instances in which the employee said they had alerted the agency about the need for a "deactivation" alert that could be sent after a ballistic missile warning to inform the public that there was no longer a threat. "Though my request for a protocol was not based on a concern about human error, had the protocol been developed within the last 2 months, the delay yesterday would not have happened," the employee wrote. The employee said that the need for a "deactivation" protocol had been brought up as early as Nov. 6, 2017 — nearly a month before the state implemented its alert system for a nuclear attack on Dec. 1. The employee faulted "an overall lack of prioritization and follow through that all of us let happen." The employee also noted a lack of standardized training. Instead, most information was passed down during shift changes. "I do not believe they receive standardized or recurrent training from official sources on updated policies or procedures," the email said about employees at the State Warning Point office. "It appears that new information is often shared during the shift change pass down. However, this allows for someone to omit or misinterpret information. My branch should be doing more drills to exercise them but we have not." Another email, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's branch chief for integrated public alert and warning system engineering, linked to an article in the far-right website Gateway Pundit about a photo of a Post-it Note with a password visible in the State Warning Point, under the subject line: "Is this real?" Miyagi replied that "the password was for an application we use here at the office." He added that the Post-it Note "has been taken down" and the "password for the application has been changed." The day after the false missile alert was sent, the state emergency management agency's then-executive officer Toby Clairmont, who, along with Miyagi, resigned following the incident, emailed his boss to ask if they could discuss restricting access to the State Warning Point center. "I'd like to implement some restrictions (who may access and when)," Clairmont wrote, adding that people should only be allowed in with an escort. After the false missile alert was sent, a two-person verification rule was implemented for sending an alert — a development that's noted in another email. Another email noted updated security protocol put in place the day after the missile alert was sent to protect against "malicious cyber-attacks." The sender, whose name is redacted, said that they added a "multi-layered firewall security," "encrypted protocol for all secured communications," "two-factor authentication," and "mandatory cyber security awareness training." Another email that appears to be from the employee who had the ability to send a correction alert wrote a detailed timeline of the events Jan. 13, noting that they could not reach Miyagi on either his work or personal phone in the aftermath of the false missile alert. After 20 minutes, the employee decided with their supervisor to send a correction alert. The employee wrote that it then took 13 minutes to "boot up my work laptop at home," log in to the system "via an encrypted connection," and draft and send the correction. A report completed by Hara in February cited a breakdown of communication between state officials as one of the agency failures in the incident. Miyagi inquired in an email Jan. 26 about whether GETS, a credit-clearing software system, would have helped to deal with the phone lines being clogged and the redacted responder said that "text messaging is probably the most effective way to get through the congestion." The unnamed worker who sent the false alert was eventually fired, but there appears to have been a lot of confusion about what happened to him and if he would speak to investigators. Eventually, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency's operations chief emailed that the employee had called in sick for at least a week, making it impossible for investigator James Wiley, an FCC attorney visiting Honolulu from Washington, DC, to interview the employee. It was previously reported that the unnamed employee had previously made other mistakes during a tsunami drill when he became "confused" and "froze," and that he was refusing to cooperate with the investigation. In an anonymous interview with NBC News, he said he was "not to blame in this," calling the false alert a "system failure." On Jan. 25, Wiley sent an email asking if he could see a written statement from the unnamed employee, the existence of which he said he learned of from a HuffPost article. In a follow-up email the next day, Wiley wrote that "given news reports about this statement, it would be embarrassing for us not to be familiar with its contents." The next email said the attached document was scanned and sent, but appears completely redacted, so it's not clear what the statement from the employee said. The FCC said in a report released Jan. 30 that Hawaii officials had provided the employee's statement to them, but that it was never made public.

Please Be Safe This Firearms Season - November, 2022 I sure hope this month's article finds everyone doing well and enjoying the Fall season. As this year draws to a close, your dedicated Sheriff's Office staff remain busy throughout the county, conducting numerous reactive and proactive patrols and investigations. At the current pace, we will handle around 26,000 calls for service for the year with approximately 1,600 arrests made for an array of offenses. I could not be prouder of my staff and their devotion to public service. Coming into November always reminds me of the upcoming firearms deer season. Callaway County usually has an abundance of hunters in our rural areas, many of whom come from other areas and aren't always necessarily most aware of the "lay of the land". Landowner trespassing complaints typically increase during the firearms deer season. Of most concern though, over the years, our county unfortunately has been home to some serious hunting accidents, including fatal incidents. It's my best hope, supported by prayer, the upcoming firearms season will be a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone! Please adhere to all safety regulations set forth by the Missouri Department of Conservation. Additionally, if landowners experience trespassing issues, please contact our office and a deputy and/or state conversation agent will respond accordingly. Last, poaching via "road hunting" by those cheating to get their prized buck occurs during this same period. Should suspicious vehicles or "spot lighters" be witnessed in the rural areas, please do not hesitate to contact our office for response by a deputy and/or conservation agent. Respectfully, your Sheriff,
ADHD and its signature symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention affects everyone in the home. The individual with ADHD does not exist in isolation. She is part of a much larger ecosystem. The most important one is her immediate family. Your ADHD team probably includes therapists, doctors, consultants, teachers and several other experts in the field. What add Family ADHD Coaching to this mix? Why is it important? Here are 5 reasons why: In Family Coaching, we look at the needs of the ADHD individual, spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents and other caregivers in the home. Everyone’s health and happiness affects everyone else’s and is addressed in a respectful way. Difficulty with time management, emotional regulation, social skills, communication, organization and memory often lead to disruption and chaos in what should be routine day-to-day activities. The “ADHD” can literally take over the home, add stress to everyone’s lives and strain to various relationships. By coaching the whole family to understand how ADHD is showing up in their particular situation and giving them the tools to develop more effective ways to deal with the issues, we improve the dynamics in the family. Family coaching focuses on working with the child on their skills and also with the parents on fostering their child’s skills. This leads to faster and more consistent development of skills in the ADHD individual because of the higher frequency of good quality immediate feedback from the parents who have been coached. Mom and dad often have to be the “executive function” for their child and this demands considerable time and energy from them. They have to regulate for their child where the child is not able to self regulate. Well meaning parents often compensate for and assist their child as needed to help them make it through their day BUT not always in a way that helps the child develop their own executive function skills. Family coaching addresses the emotional toll of living with ADHD. Individuals with ADHD often seem young for their age, and in fact developmentally, they are. According to one study, there is a delayed but normal pattern of brain development in individuals with ADHD (1). This can last well into the adult years. However, as a society, we expect kids to “act their age”, and there can be a lot of stigma when a child does not. Since ADHD is “invisible”, the emotional meltdowns or social mistakes are often judged as willful misbehavior. Parents are often criticized for their parenting skills or lack thereof and for not being able to “manage” their child. They can also feel helpless or uninformed in trying to find a “solution” to their child’s struggles. There may be blame, guilt or shame going around in the family or beliefs that are undermining everyone’s efforts. All these issues are addressed compassionately in Family ADHD coaching. ADHD tends to run in families. One study showed that about 40% of ADHD children have at least one parent with clinical ADHD symptoms (2). Even though families usually come in for help with one family member’s ADHD challenges, the strategies and skills we work on tend to be helpful to several family members. There is research to support the efficacy of parent involvement for positive outcomes in children with ADHD. One research study showed that parents who participate in behavioral training programs showed significant post treatment gains in both child and parent functioning, which were maintained 2 months after treatment. In particular, there were reductions in parenting stress, increases in parenting self-esteem and decrease in the overall severity of their child's ADHD symptoms (3).

Singer and Actor Michael Vanhevel is a Canadian international performer and recording artist, specializing in the crooners and songbirds of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. His passion, charisma and stunning vocal ability have made him a sought after talent, and those who have seen him perform have been quick to liken him to worldwide giants like Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin and Michael Buble. One of his mentors, the late great Canadian legend Howard Cable called him “an absolute star-to-be”, and as well as being a dear friend, wrote Michael a full-length, one man symphony show called “The Best of The Crooners” which toured across Canada. Juno award-nominated, Canadian musician, recording artist and fellow Southwestern Ontario native Emm Gryner has worked with Michael on several occasions and has made note of his “natural charisma and stage presence” and has said that (Michael Vanhevel) “is this generation’s Frank Sinatra”. Florence Henderson of Broadway and television acclaim, who worked with Michael in Petrolia, Ontario while performing her one woman show had been very impressed with him and had praised his talent as host of a one-night Cabaret in her honor. Emmy award winner and stage actress Michael Learned worked very closely with Michael in putting together her one woman show “Miss Michael – In Conversation with Michael Learned”. She called him “very talented”, “an old soul” and greatly admired his passion for people, music and the arts.

The pizza Chef: July-August 2015 Diana ClineFeatures Business and Operations Staffing Maximum wage, minimum effort By now we must all be feeling the pinch on our bank accounts because of the rise of minimum wage across the country. Here in Manitoba, we’re at $10.70 an hour. For the record, I’ve always paid my best staff more than minimum wage. In fact, most of my best staff were already earning $10.70 an hour. But last October, when minimum wage increased again, suddenly, overnight, my best staff were earning the same hourly wage as green staff. It wouldn’t be so outrageous if my company hadn’t already invested an enormous amount of paid training hours for the stars to become stars. These individuals, who invested in themselves and applied the knowledge from their training, were rewarded with a higher wage. I know what you’re thinking: life’s not fair, as we veterans of the food industry know all too well. But what of these young, impressionable individuals who make up the majority of our workforce? They’ve grown up in a school system where they get a ribbon just for participating or a certificate just for showing up. Somewhere down the line, the focus changed from instilling pride in working for and attaining a goal to preventing feelings of loss among all who participated. Perhaps no one knew what harm this would cause, but in actuality it took away the thrill of victory and the pain of defeat. It took away the purpose of aiming high, since the bar is now so low. So what’s become of the winners whose extra efforts are now marginalized with the “also showed up”? What happens to my star staff who excelled above the rest because they want to do their best, no matter what it is they’re doing? I’ll tell you what happens: they feel unappreciated and defeated because all their hard work and advancement now earns them the same as a new hire. I’ve noticed for some time now that the basic skill set of new hires has declined. It used to be that you hired a 16-year-old and they knew how to wash dishes, sweep a floor, mop a floor and make eye contact with a customer. They knew the basics because their home life included household chores. They instinctively knew to be polite to each other, to their managers and to customers. They knew that having a job meant doing the work, not just showing up when they felt like it. Nowadays we no longer assume a new hire has any of these basic skills. I have witnessed more than one new staff member run cold water over a dirty container for 10 minutes and then put it on the shelf to dry. Not long ago, I had to show a new hire how to fill up a mop pail with hot soapy water so they could mop the floor. Then I had to show them how to mop the floor; they just stood there, frozen. I think they expected the mop to magically do the job by itself. How is it possible that a 17-year-old has never washed a floor? Or properly washed dishes? Schools have adopted this misguided mentality for grading. I recently read an article about how many schools are no longer failing students because they are afraid of hurting their self-esteem. They’re worried about how students will feel if they don’t move forward with their peers. This has been going on for several years, so it’s no wonder the majority of our new hires have difficulty with basic math. But now, what about the teenager who after three weeks of training still doesn’t meet our minimum expectations? And when I say minimum expectations, I mean basic food-handling procedures. You just can’t cut corners where food-handling is concerned. Someone is going to get sick, and it’s your reputation that will suffer the most. Will this be the first time he’ll ever be told he’ll have to do better? What’s worse, he won’t understand why he has to be let go. Technically, he did show up. Technically he did wash the dishes and the floor, although someone else had to redo his work. But in his mind, he must wonder why he can’t just have the ribbon? Will I be called a hard taskmaster and a terrible boss? Will this be the first blow to his self-esteem? Am I to keep this employee on my payroll indefinitely because I am afraid to hurt his feelings? Not likely. I don’t treat teenagers like toddlers. My generation went to a different school, and if these kids want to be employed by my company long term, they must complete the tasks of their job to my satisfaction. The restaurant business is not a business of one, and, personally I am tired of hiring teenagers who say they need a job yet don’t put any effort into the work or don’t even show up for shifts. It’s my experience that doing a job well always builds self-esteem. I’ve always felt my employees are an investment, and that in order for my company to make great pizza, we need great people. But an ever-increasing minimum wage makes it difficult for a one-shop operator to find and bring out the best in its people. Maybe I will start handing out ribbons.

NCI Serological Sciences Network for COVID-19 (SeroNet) The NCI Serological Sciences Network (SeroNet) is a coordinated effort to expand the nation’s capacity for SARS-CoV-2 serologic testing on a population-level and advance research on the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination among diverse and vulnerable populations. Research conducted as part of SeroNet aims to answer questions such as: - Why do some people who are exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, get sick and others don’t? - Do cancers or autoimmune diseases affect the immune response to a COVID-19 vaccine? - Why do people with certain health conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, or heart disease, have an increased risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19? - What is the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the United States across age groups, racial/ethnic groups, and urban and rural populations? - Why do some people who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 have severe symptoms and others have mild symptoms? - Do COVID-19 vaccines protect against severe infection from different viral variants? - What genetic and environmental factors affect the immune response, and how long does immunity last? A list of publications from SeroNet-supported research can be found on PubMed. The quarterly newsletter provides the latest clinical and translational serology news from the NCI Serological Sciences Network. SeroNet is led by NCI, in close collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and other parts of the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services, and involves 25 of the nation’s top biomedical research institutions. The network was established using funds from an emergency appropriation of $306 million to NCI “to develop, validate, improve, and implement serological testing and associated technologies.” Lessons learned from SeroNet research can be applied immediately and may prove valuable to public health beyond the current pandemic. The major components of the network are: - Serological Sciences Centers of Excellence NCI has awarded eight institutions U54 grants to conduct multiple research projects to characterize the immune responses to coronavirus infection and vaccination and to learn what drives immune response, disease progression, and protection against future infection. - Research Projects in SARS-CoV-2 Serological Sciences NCI awarded researchers at 13 institutions U01 grants to conduct research projects on basic and applied serological research. - Serological Sciences Network Capacity Building Centers NCI, through the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR), has awarded subcontracts to four research institutions to develop serological assays to test for coronavirus antibodies and to conduct serosurveillance studies. - FNLCR Serology Lab NCI has expanded the HPV Serology Lab at FNLCR to conduct COVID-19 serology research. Since May 2020, the lab has been partnering with the Food and Drug Administration to conduct independent evaluations of commercially available antibody test kits to ensure that antibody tests available to the public are accurate and reliable. In the longer term, the lab is conducting research to understand what it means to be seropositive (for example, is an individual resistant to reinfection?) and to contribute to seropositivity research projects, including conducting a long-term clinical trial of COVID -19 in people with cancer. The serology lab has also developed the Human SARS-CoV-2 Serology Standard, a pool of plasma from four donors with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. The FNLCR standard is available by request to labs conducting COVID-19 antibody testing to enhance cross-study comparisons. - SeroNet Coordinating Center Managed by FNLCR under NCI’s direction, the coordinating center facilitates activities and fosters collaboration across all SeroNet components. Data generated by SeroNet investigators are shared via ImmPort after publication. SeroNet investigators have also created guidance documents for researchers conducting studies on the immune response to vaccines and vaccine boosters to encourage harmonization across studies and to allow for cross-study comparisons. The available documents include study design templates, standard operating procedures, and common data elements.
Only early risers were able to enjoy this remarkable meteorological event in real time, which took place mainly in the Canadian province of Alberta.

According to Professor and Curator of Meteorite Collection at the University of Alberta, Drs. Chris Heard, the bright flash was probably a meteorite – and because it was “particularly bright”, it was classified as a fireball. Based on photos and videos posted on social media, Geoff Robertson, former president of the Edmonton Center of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, stated that the meteor was possibly the size of a desk or refrigerator, and that parts of it belonged to him.

This is the alleged main piece of meteorite impact on 7 November, as the Stockholm-based Natural History Museum announced on Tuesday. Two swades near Encoping, northwest of Stockholm, made a rare discovery and handed it over to the museum. According to the museum, this is the first time in 60 years that a meteorite has been found during an accident in Sweden. A ball of fire was seen by countless people from the Swedish region on 7 November, which lit up the sky for about three seconds. Astronomer Eric Stampels of Uppsala University then calculated the approximate location of the impact, where small fragments of an iron meteorite were later found. The main piece now discovered is about 30 centimeters long and probably the largest of the celestial bodies, which according to Stampel originally weighed an estimated nine tons when entering the atmosphere. Some small parts are still suspected to be in the area. Devoted web advocate. Bacon scholar. Internet lover. Passionate twitteraholic. Unable to type with boxing gloves on. Lifelong beer fanatic.
Edibles are becoming increasingly common in the world of medical cannabis. For starters, someone whose first time using cannabis is more likely to enjoy eating delicious food than smoking. However, equally important to understand is the effects of edibles, THC, and what can happen if you ingest too much THC. The National Institute on Drug Abuse has even reported that increased use of these foods and drinks has resulted in more emergency room visits. Edibles can produce a high that lasts several hours. And with a brownie that's potent enough, the psychoactive effects could last much longer than those from a bong hit. Anyone who has had a bad experience from an edible will tell you, the effect is intense. But many people consume edibles regularly to feel the effects as a body high as opposed to the head high smoking often brings. This article will discuss edibles, their effects, and more to offer insight into making this a safe, pleasurable experience during treatment. What are Cannabis Edibles? An edible is any food or drink that's infused with cannabis. This means that a food or drink item is created to contain cannabinoids – usually, THC or CBD – and then consumed by the end-user. Edibles are often used as pain-relieving medications because they can take up to an hour to affect the consumer, which also allows for longer-lasting effects than smoking. But edibles can also be a fun and unique way to use cannabis. And many people who consume them regularly prefer the body high they offer over smoking. Additionally, medical patients will find these more appealing than other methods for consuming cannabis. Since these generally have no odor and are easy to carry around without attracting attention, it's a great alternative to marijuana flower. But how long do edibles stay in your system? This depends on edible potency. However, you can expect the feel the effects for between four and 8 hours with a normal dose. Common Kinds of Cannabis Edibles Edibles come in all shapes, sizes, and potencies. The most common, of course, is the brownie. The marijuana-infused brownie is the epitome of cannabis edibles. This is a timeless snack that has commonly been eaten for non-medical purposes long before cannabis for medical use became legal. But these days, medical cannabis patients like to eat brownie edibles for the effects it has on pain. The THC is easily absorbed into the bloodstream after a patient finishes eating an infused brownie, potentially offering hours of relief. Cookie edibles are now growing in popularity, especially for home bakers. The absorption rate is the same as with brownies, but the cookies are usually easier to dose. Getting the right dose for cookies is easier because makers simply weigh the dough to get accurate dosing. With brownies, the effects tend to vary because they're typically baked in a single tray and then sliced without much precision. Candy infusions are also growing in popularity. Whether lozenges, gummies, or something else, eating something sweet as a treatment for pain is always a good time. One study highlights that hard candies can kick in quite fast, within 15 to 45 minutes. However, most other edibles take 30 to 180 minutes to feel. Some people prefer gummies, or normally sour-tasting candy infused with cannabis. The effects tend to be gentler and, for some people, they're more effective than the relief they'd achieve from smoking a joint. Additionally, those who like to keep their edibles in their pockets have an easy way to do so without attracting attention with candies that don't have any scent. Marijuana drinks are also growing in popularity. Whether it's CBD or THC, patients enjoy getting a dose of cannabinoids by consuming a drink. Some brands have launched CBD coffee or THC soda water infusions. The seltzers are especially popular for those who want to avoid sugary drinks. The Effects of Edibles The effects of edibles vary from person to person depending on several variables. The most obvious is the type of food used. Brownies tend to produce a more intense high than candy, for instance, because more THC can be consumed in one sitting. There's less control over the dose size when a patient eats brownies. A dose of THC can vary depending on how many brownie squares you eat. The same goes for cookies or other types of edibles that are generally measured by weight. While the method an infused treat is consumed impacts how it'll hit, this food infusion can be quite tricky. One edible can kick in differently than another, and for those lacking a tolerance to them, the way one affects the body can make a person think they're going to die. But don't worry. A THC infusion is unlikely to kill you. While it might affect how you feel towards food infusions in the future, edible consumption has never killed a person. The THC found in edibles gets absorbed into the bloodstream after it’s metabolized in the liver. Therefore, when you eat an edible compared to inhaling marijuana smoke, you will feel its effects much more intensely and for a longer period of time. High doses start at around 20mg of THC. These doses carry higher risks because of the way the cannabinoids metabolize in the liver. One review article highlights that the effects can come as a result of as little as 2.5mg. However, some might have a higher tolerance, demanding 50mg or more to experience the effects. THC absorption varies between different products. But despite edibles and their low absorption rate, the fact that they're so easy to consume makes it easy to eat too much THC or CBD. While too much CBD or THC will not kill you, it can hit hard. The related body feeling can last for hours after you feel it kick in, and it can be a while until the feeling leaves your system. Smoking and vaping THC or CBD offers a feel that will wear off faster. But it can kick in quicker, too. Most users report a high effect that comes on almost instantly while smoking or vaping. However, with edibles, it can take considerably longer to feel the high. This depends on your metabolism and how large of a dose you ate. Edibles vs. Cannabis Smoke A major difference between smoking and consuming edibles for those who are sensitive to THC is their level of 11-Hydroxy-THC. Smoking produces much less 11-Hydroxy-THC than the liver metabolism of an edible. But those who consume edibles may have a stronger reaction because there is more of it. When a person smokes cannabis, they get a "high" effect in about 10 minutes or less, while it takes around 30 minutes, sometimes more, to feel the same high from an edible. The period of psychoactive effects is longer when you consume edibles. This is because the THC isn't absorbed into your bloodstream, but rather metabolized by your liver before being secreted into your bloodstream and brain approximately 45 minutes later. The effects of an edible can last between four to eight hours or more, while the smoke high lasts about three to four hours on average. However, equally important to understand is the fact that edibles are much easier to over-consume. Edibles vs. Vaping Cannabis Vaping cannabis is similar to when someone smokes cannabis. Thus, the difference between vaping cannabis and ingesting cannabis edibles is relatively clear. Vaping is one of the healthier forms of cannabis consumption. Instead of impacting lung health with combusted cannabis, vapes offer a way to get cannabinoids into your system without the combustion. Another benefit of vaping is that it's a controlled high. Rather than putting a dose into your body and waiting for the onset, vapers can adjust their dose accordingly for hours. This makes maintaining a body buzz easier than with edibles. Once an edible is in your body, it's there. The related high that comes is virtually unstoppable, and the related effects are somewhat unpredictable if you've never used edibles before. Vaping is easier to predict. While vapes come in many forms, one thing remains the same: even though they can be potent, the impact they have on your body is concise in small doses. Are Edibles Safer Than Other Consumption Methods? While there have been reports of people having bad experiences with edibles, most doctors agree that this form of cannabis consumption is safer than combustion from smoke. When you eat cannabis, the metabolization of THC takes place in your liver rather than entering your lungs and bloodstream like when a person smokes. Edibles don't call for combustion, and since you're not inhaling smoke or vapor, your organs don't experience the effects of combusted plant matter. While more research is necessary to determine how edibles can impact health, compared to other consumption methods, the health effects of an edible you ate aren't so terrible. One common problem with edibles is that they can bring on anxiety. If this happens, wait a couple of hours for the feeling to subside, and don't mix edibles with alcohol. Taking edibles carefully is essential. Carelessly devouring a bunch of butter infusions might be hard on the stomach, but the way it impacts the mind can be even more worrisome. What Happens When You Eat Potent Cannabis Edibles? Potent cannabis edibles offer a high and relaxation, along with some euphoria. The way a person's system feels after consuming an edible depends on the type of cannabinoids present and the potency. Since cannabis products are rarely toxic, there's not a high risk of overdosing. However, it can be easy to eat too much THC, which can cause some severe side effects. Below we discuss some of the side effects an edible might bring on. If you feel any of these side effects are serious, make sure to seek medical attention rather than reading information on the internet! This information should never be used to replace the advice of a doctor or physician. Some common adverse side effects of eating overly potent edibles include: If you find yourself feeling anxious from cannabis-infused food, take several deep breaths and relax. If you've taken THC, try using some CBD to calm you down. CBD naturally counteracts the anxiety properties of THC, making it perfect for lowering the effect intensity. You might begin sweating if you've consumed something especially potent. If you are, make sure you stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water, and if you feel like you're overheating, try taking a cool shower or washing some cool water over your wrists. Dizziness can occur in some cases. This is often how you know your edible is potent, and the THC levels have knocked you off your feet. Drink some water and relax. Try laying down if you feel that might help. If you have a dry mouth after you eat or drink an edible, make sure to have some water nearby. You can try chewing on some mints and gum as well. Other side effects you might experience include: - Rapid heart rate - Shortness of breath - Chest pain - Panic attacks - Trouble concentrating or thinking How to Safely Consume Edibles If you don't want to get too high, edibles offer a safe way to consume cannabis if used responsibly. If someone eats pot brownies and they're not feeling anything, they can always try again in a couple of hours because getting higher isn't as easy as it is when smoking or vaping. But with this being said, remember that edibles offer a controlled high. This means that it's easy to get too intense of a body experience, so proceed with caution when eating cannabis products. If you want to eat THC-infused foods but don't want to get too stoned, start with one or two milligrams of THC and wait until you feel the resulting effect before consuming more. If you're feeling apprehensive because it's your first time, try eating an edible in smaller doses over the course of a couple of hours rather than eating it all at once. Three milligrams is usually enough to provide relief from pain but not enough to produce a body high with some people, so be smart and know your limits when using edibles. If you've never taken edibles before, start with a tiny dose – such as half a brownie – to make sure your body can handle it. Ingesting an entire THC-infused treat could be too much for some people's systems. But keep in mind the potency of your treat. The potency of edibles is measured in milligrams (mg), with common THC edible serving sizes between 5 mg and 100 mg, or 1/8th of an ounce. If you're trying cannabis for the first time as a flower-only smoker, try eating your dose in stages. For instance, take half of the food at one point and save the rest for later. If after a couple of hours you don't feel anything, try eating a little more.
In this video, we bring you some top tips on how to reverse your caravan to avoid accidentally damaging your pride and joy and having to make a caravan insurance claim. Each year at Caravan Guard, we deal with many accidental damage insurance claims as a result of a caravan reversing mishap – whether that be into something like a gate post, overhanging trees or walls. We speak to Richard, an experienced caravanner and instructor from Towing Solutions in Macclesfield, for his practical hints and tips on reversing your caravan onto a pitch, into a service bay or into a parking space. How do you prepare before reversing your caravan? Preparation before reversing your caravan is key. Firstly, stop and put your handbrake on. Turn off your radio and wind down the windows so you can see and hear things clearly. Then get out and check the area you’re reversing your caravan into to make sure there aren’t are any obstacles in the way, such as overhanging trees, bushes, posts etc. If you have a partner, ask them to step out and help guide you back and make sure people aren’t walking behind you as you’re trying to reverse. Anyone who is going to help you needs to stand where you can see and hear their signals. If you’re into a gadget you could consider fitting a caravan reversing camera or parking sensors. Just in case your reversing lights don’t work it’s always worth using your hazard lights to warn people that you’re backing up. With any caravanning manoeuvre, the key thing is speed. When reversing a caravan you have to steer left to go right, and right to go left, which isn’t natural for many drivers. So if you go slow, it gives you the opportunity to make any corrections. Use your towing mirrors and concentrate in one mirror to guide your caravan back carefully. Small movements of the steering wheel will allow you to judge how the caravan is reacting as you back up. Be careful not to overreact with fast sharp movements as this could cause the caravan to jack-knife. How do you reverse your caravan in a straight line? Reversing your caravan in a straight line is one of the most difficult manoeuvres. Pick a point on your caravan that you can see clearly through your towing mirror when it’s nice and straight, such as the water or gas point. If that starts to disappear from view or you see too much of the caravan in your right towing mirror then turn towards it so it comes back into line. As with all caravan reversing manoeuvres, speed is key. If you go back too fast you will have an issue and if in any doubt stop and start moving back slowly. How do you reverse your caravan to the right? When reversing a caravan into a parking bay, or onto a pitch look at the key pivot points where you have to start turning. Drive past your pitch so that the back of your caravan is clear of the pitch or the area that you’re going to reverse into. Look in your mirrors and check that it’s safe to start backing up. Very slowly manoeuvre the caravan backwards using your mirrors, so it starts to go towards the pivot point – or the point where you want to turn into the pitch, such as the top edge of the pitch – and as you approach this pivot point and your caravan’s wheel is in line with it, fully lock your steering wheel to the left to swing the back of the caravan over and around and once it’s made that manoeuvre lock the steering wheel in the opposite direction to start to straighten up your outfit. Top tip: When you stop, just pull the car forward slightly to open up the bellows on the hitch and make it easier to disconnect it from the car. It will also prevent the hitch from pushing into the back of your car. How do you reverse your caravan to the left (your blindside)? Again, drive past the point where you’re going to reverse into. Adjust the passenger mirror, so you can see your caravan wheel clearly, and if you need to, adjust your towing mirror to make sure you have a clear view. Start to back up slowly, and when your caravan wheel is in line with the point at which you need to turn, fully lock the steering wheel to the right to position to get the caravan to start turning into the position you want it to go. You then need to counteract that by going into a full lock in the opposite direction to start bringing the car around and to line up the caravan. If needs be, you can always pull forward a little bit and then reverse back in to straighten it up. Or, use your motor mover, or if you can push the caravan by hand, into its final position. If you do have someone with you, it’s worth having them watch your back as you’re doing a blindside manoeuvre, but do make sure you can see and hear them. If you’re ever in doubt, stop and get out and check you’re on the right line. It’s a lot better and a cheaper than having a bump or a scrape! What to do when caravan reversing goes wrong! Everyone makes mistakes when it comes to reversing a caravan – and watching people reverse their caravan is one of the top spectator sports on a caravan site, along with putting up the awning! Richard said if you start to reverse really slowly, people will get bored and think you know what you’re doing so will disappear. “Take your time – there’s no point rushing,” said Richard. “We’ve all had stressful trips and bad traffic. There are no rules and regulations to say you have to reverse your caravan on to a pitch. You can always use a motor mover (if you have one fitted) or you can unhook from the car and push it into position if it’s not too heavy.” Richard’s advice is to stay calm and ignore everyone around you. “Go nice and slowly and steadily and reverse it,” he added. Five top tips for reversing your caravan - Get out and check your surroundings. Look at where you’re going to reverse your caravan and check for any obstacles that might be in the way or that you might run into. - Reverse slowly. The slower the better. Taking it slowly gives you the opportunity to correct any errors and will help to avoid any reversing mishaps. - Use your mirrors. Make sure your towing mirrors are set correctly before you start your to reverse your caravan and that you can clearly see where you’re manoeuvring into. And if you have a reversing camera or parking sensor make sure you listen and stop when the warning beeps sound. - Stay calm. And ignore everyone else around you. - Practice reversing your caravan. Lots of practice will give you that extra confidence for reversing your caravan like a pro. There are plenty of caravan towing and driving courses available nationwide if you need that extra bit of help. And remember, at Caravan Guard we offer a small caravan insurance discount for fitting a reversing aid such as parking sensors or a rear-view camera.

In this article: What is a Hospitality Management Degree? Degree programs in hospitality management teach students how to operate hotels, restaurants, and other businesses that serve business travelers and vacationers. Coursework may vary from one curriculum to another, depending on whether the program offers general hospitality management training or is focused on a specialty area, such as travel agency operations, restaurant management, or hotel management. Regardless of the specific course content or concentration, students are likely to take some or all of the following classes: - Employee Labor Relations - Facilities Design - Food Service Operations - Hospitality Finance: Budgeting and Payroll - Hospitality Law - Hotel and Resort Operations - Inventory Management - Marketing and Advertising - Meetings and Events Management - Tourism Geography Associate Degree in Hospitality Management - Two Year Duration This degree program prepares students to continue their studies in a bachelor’s program or to work in administrative and entry-level roles in the field.

These are examples of classes that are commonly offered in hospitality management bachelor’s programs: - Foundations of Hotel Management – hotel and resort operations; maintaining service standards - Food and Beverage Management – restaurant operations; food and beverage purchasing - Wine History and Culture – wine styles; old world wine regions; new world wine regions - Meetings and Events Management – corporate meetings, conferences, and incentive travel management - Human Resource Management – hiring hospitality staff and managers - Hospitality Facilities and Operations Management – design features used in the hospitality industry; space planning; floor layouts - Technology for the Hospitality Industry – software and systems used in the hospitality industry Master’s Degree in Hospitality Management - Two Year Duration Holders of a Master’s Degree in Hospitality Management may find employment as hospitality training and development managers, hospitality industry office managers or administrative service mangers, meetings and event planners, hospitality advertising and marketing managers, and hospitality industry sales managers.

The typical curriculum is divided into four sub-areas, as follows: - Tourism and Hospitality Business Operation Management – hotel management, human resource management, organizational behavior, consumer behavior, service marketing - Tourism, Event, and Recreational Management – applications of technology in hospitality and tourism, economics of tourism, social and cultural impacts of tourism, reducing poverty via tourism, special interest tourism, sport and event management, sustainable and responsible tourism - Tourism and Hospitality Business Development Management – entrepreneurship, environmental management, hospitality and tourism real estate development - Food Science – food safety management Degrees Similar to Hospitality Management Business administration includes overseeing finances, staffing, and contract negotiations. A business administration degree program, therefore, teaches students how to plan, organize, and direct all the activities of an organization. Culinary arts are the arts of preparing, cooking, and presenting food. Food that is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the taste buds is the goal of the culinary artist. Degree programs in the field prepare students for a variety of roles within the food and hospitality arenas. The typical curriculum covers professional cooking techniques, world cuisines, how to balance flavors, food aesthetics, and menu planning. Food Service Management Degrees in food service management are targeted at individuals who wish to combine their passion for food with an interest in managing a food-related business. Students of international business study business from a global perspective. They learn how to work cross-culturally, how to manage multinational businesses, and how to turn local and national companies into international corporations. Coursework often includes some foreign language studies, as well. Recreation and Leisure Studies This degree field focuses on the theories of recreation and leisure and teaches students how to market and provide recreational and leisure services to consumers. Coursework covers area and facility design, recreation for specific populations, legal issues in leisure services, and recreation leadership. Professional Golf Management Degree programs in professional golf management teach students the skills they need to work as golf club professionals and golf instructors. Typical courses include golf management and accounting, turf management, coaching and player development, and food and beverage management. Skills You’ll Learn By its nature, the hospitality industry is about customer service and the customer experience. Therefore, perhaps more than in any other business sector, soft skills are very much sought after by employers. It follows, then, that hospitality management programs include the teaching of such skills as part of their curriculum. Graduates come away with skills in: - Self confidence - Emotional intelligence What Can You Do with a Hospitality Management Degree? Hotels, Resorts, and Casinos Opportunities for hospitality management graduates exist with hotel chains, independent boutique hotels, business hotels, apartment hotels, casino hotels, and resorts. Within each of these sectors there are jobs with food and beverage outlets, the front-desk/reception, reservations, concierge/guest services, conference services, the rooms division, kitchens, human resources, and payroll. Airlines, Airports, and Ground Handling Agents Holders of a hospitality management degree may pursue potential positions in the various areas of airline operations: passenger service, reservations, marketing, sales, and inflight crew. Passenger service agent jobs are also offered by handling agents and airport authorities, to which many airlines subcontract their ground handling. Services that are often subcontracted include check-in counter services; gate arrival and departure services; customer service and transfer counters; and airline lounges. Tourism / Destination Management Tourism attractions worldwide need to hire personnel with training in customer service and hospitality. Jobs exist with museums, art galleries, historical monuments and buildings, national parks, theme parks, aquariums, zoos, and landmarks. Cruise lines, luxury trains, and city tour companies are also significant employers of hospitality management grads. In addition, in most major cities there are destination management companies that coordinate all of these tourism products for companies that hire them to organize incentive or reward travel programs for their employees or customers. Local tourism boards also employ individuals with a hospitality management background. This sector of the hospitality industry is very specialized. It includes meetings, incentives (corporate reward programs), conferences, and events. Event management specialists plan, organize, and execute events of all kinds and all sizes. While corporate conventions and incentive travel programs form a large part of this subfield, the sector also includes events like concerts, trade shows, speaker programs, and festivals. Conference and Exhibition Centers and Event Venues These facilities are central to the hospitality industry and employ significant numbers of people, many of whom have a background in hospitality and tourism. Luxury Brand and Experience Management Luxury brands target their luxury products to luxury consumers. These brands come from non-traditional hospitality sectors: high-end products like yachts and private jets; and exclusive jewellery, fashion, cars, wines, spirits, financial services, gaming establishments, and spas. They are more recent employers of hospitality graduates, as they recognize the value of creating upscale buying experiences for their exclusive clientele.

How to be brilliant in interviews No one, I repeat no one, relishes the interview process. Ok, perhaps a tiny minority do, but I’m assuming they already think they are brilliant and are not reading this! In this blogpost, I pull together all the excellent pieces of advice I have come across over the years to help you approach your next interview with renewed confidence and allow you to be at your absolute best. Preparation is everything As part of your interview prep, take time to research the company. You can set up Google alerts for news about the company or sector. Also, do your homework on the person interviewing you. If you find out what drives and motivates them, it can help you connect with them and show an understanding of their point of view. Prepare your opening lines in readiness for the inevitable version of “Tell me a bit about yourself”. Distil your story so it concisely conveys your motivation to do the job and the experience and value you are bringing. Also, go through the job description with a fine-tooth comb. Identify the competencies they are measuring the candidates against and prepare answers that showcase the skills and experience you have that aligns with each of them. Finally, plan in advance some killer questions you can ask at the end. Have a read of this brilliant article in The Harvard Business Review with some great suggestions of the type of questions to ask: 38 Smart Questions to Ask in a Job Interview Be positive and enthusiastic Before the interview think of some positive things to say about the company’s products, style, culture, website or any award or recognition they have received. Find ways to weave this into the interview. If the company sells products, identify one which resonates with you and find out more about it. It shows an interest and engagement with the company that might elevate you above the competition. You have as much to give as you have to gain When you go into the interview, make sure you are clear on exactly what you bring to the role. Where will you add value where others won’t. Also, be clear on what you want in return. It’s your opportunity to ask the questions that are important to you. Remember that this is a 50/50 conversation, by asking questions and listening attentively to the answers you can gauge where the company stands on the things that matter to you. The interview should be your chance to test if the company and the role align with your values. Every encounter matters This is easy to forget and another opportunity to differentiate yourself from your peers. Treat every call, message and email as part of the process. There will be multiple touchpoints throughout and you want to strive to give the best possible impression of you at each and every one. Before the interview, audit your presence on social media platforms. Make personal profiles private and ensure LinkedIn aligns with your CV and the role. Take your time To ace the interview, you ideally want to remain calm and in control of the situation. There are a few strategies you can use to keep cool, calm and collected throughout. If you need clarification or context to a question – always ask. It demonstrates maturity and confidence to do so and allows you a bit more time to formulate your answer. On that note, always take a few seconds after each question to mentally compose your answer. Select your example that best fits the question, keep it concise and don’t be tempted to go into too much detail. Pause at the end of your answer, the interviewer will ask for more detail if they need it. To enable you to answer their questions with confidence, for each of the competencies that you identified in the job description, come up with a rock-solid example demonstrating this. How to address the gaps In the final section I wanted to include some tips on how to deal with any gaps in your employment. In their book ‘She’s Back’ Lisa Unwin and Deb Khan want to change the narrative about career breaks. Here are their top tips on how to frame it. - I’m refreshed, re-energised and refocused - I’m so much more productive - I’ve broadened my skills, knowledge and experience - I’ve learnt different ways of getting things done - I have increased empathy and a fresh perspective on customers and clients Think about which phrases resonate the most with your own story and make it part of your narrative. Their advice is “Back it up with examples. What was ‘new and good’ about your break? Help an employer understand. Be brief. Be brave. Know your own value. And negotiate the hell out of your return”.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) cosponsored legislation introduced by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) to establishes a coordinated multi-agency response and creates new tools to tackle evolving trends in organized retail theft. Organized retail crime costs retailers $720,000 for every $1 billion in sales – up 50 percent since 2015. As law enforcement focuses on the rise in drug trafficking and other offenses, criminal organizations have increasingly turned to retail crime to generate illicit profits, using internet-based tools to organize flash mobs, sell stolen goods and move money. “Organized retail crime is becoming more and more prevalent, putting retailers, their employees and communities in danger,” said Dr. Cassidy. “The Combating Organized Retail Crime Act provides what we need to fight these crimes.” “Stores throughout American communities have not been spared from a national crime wave. These organized theft rings have been developing new tactics to pilfer goods, causing economic harm to American businesses and putting consumers at risk while funding transnational criminal organizations throughout the world. These criminals are exploiting the internet and online marketplaces to stay one step ahead of the law, and it’s time the law catches up. This bill improves our federal response to organized retail crime and establishes new tools to recover goods and illicit proceeds, and deter future attacks on American retailers,” said Senator Grassley. “I’ve heard directly from retailers across Nevada about the challenges they’re facing with organized retail crime—that’s why I’m pushing bipartisan legislation to help our law enforcement keep these businesses safe. Protecting our communities shouldn’t be a partisan issue, and I will continue working with Senator Grassley to crack down on organized crime and stand up for the Nevada small businesses that have been targeted,” said Senator Cortez Masto. The bicameral Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2023 creates a unified government and industry collaboration to address this trend. The bill establishes a Center to Combat Organized Retail Crime at Homeland Security Investigations that combines expertise from state and local law enforcement agencies as well as retail industry representatives. It also creates new tools to assist in federal investigation and prosecution of organized retail crime, and help recover lost goods and proceeds. It is supported by the National Retail Federation, the Retail Industry Leaders Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, ICSC, the Peace Officers Research Association of California, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, Sergeants Benevolent Association NYPD and the PASS (Protect America’s Small Sellers) Coalition. Cassidy, Grassley, and Cortez Masto were joined by U.S. Senators John Kennedy (R-LA), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), James Risch (R-ID), Jon Tester (D-MT), and Mike Crapo (R-ID) in cosponsoring this legislation.

The CIA’s director classified Assange as the leader of a ‘non-state hostile intelligence service’ HERE TOO, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ILLEGALLY SPIED UPON For a long while, Nils Melzer, the UN special rapporteur on torture, had doubts about the Australian Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, suspecting that he was little more than a ‘shady hacker’. The 2010 rape allegations made by two Swedish women didn’t do much for his image, either. So Melzer refused him UN protection when requested to do so by Assange’s legal team in 2018. They petitioned Melzer again in 2019 and this time round he decided to take a closer look; the look turned into a two year investigation, the (devastating) results of which have been published in Melzer’s recent book ‘The Trial of Julian Assange’. Melzer reminds us that in 2006, Wikileaks started by exposing corruption in Kenya; the banning of Red Cross delegates in Guantánamo; and by detailing thousands of cases of war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan by western troops, including a video taken from an Apache helicopter, which showed the crew having a good laugh as they killed two Reuters reporters and a dozen unarmed Iraqi civilians. As for the rape allegations, Melzer found that the two Swedish women involved, with whom Assange had had brief affairs, went to the police to oblige him to get an HIV test, but the Swedish police seem to have assumed (or decided) that this was an accusation of rape. Over the next ten years, the police investigation never went beyond the preliminary stage (i.e. Assange was never charged) and several prosecutors dropped the case, which was picked up by others who were also unable to find enough evidence to prosecute. Assange left for Britain, only for the Swedish government to demand his extradition. Fearing, reasonably, that once extradited he would be whisked off to a US waiting for him with open jaws, Assange sought refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in 2012. Wikileaks continued to publish damning documents, this time on Syria’s Assad regime and the western companies that were doing business with it; even more damningly, in 2017 it published ‘Vault 7’: nearly 9,000 CIA files revealing that the Agency had been practising covert mass surveillance on US citizens and European leaders. The CIA’s director classified Assange as the leader of a ‘non-state hostile intelligence service’ and planned to kidnap or murder him (according to 8 of the 30 officials in on the plot, which was abandoned when White House lawyers questioned its ‘legality’). When the New York Times and the Washington Post published the same CIA documents, Trump decided to prosecute Assange alone. In 2019, the Ecuadoreans handed Assange over to the London police, having confiscated his razor and forbidden him from cutting his hair 3 months earlier. He looked terrible (that was the idea). What’s more, it has now been conclusively proven that Assange redacted material from his documents that could have put people in danger: contrary to persistent rumours, no one has been injured or killed because of Wikileaks. At his extradition hearings in the UK in 2020, Assange was (unlawfully) placed in a glass cage which made it impossible to confer with his counsel. If extradited, he will be jailed for life, accused of being a terrorist and a spy. In Catalonia, the Assange case is being followed closely: here too, hundreds of people - political leaders included - have been illegally spied upon, and hundreds more are being accused of terrorism for no demonstrable reason. If the British extradite Assange, it will give a green light to liberal democracies everywhere to instantly get shot of anyone who they consider to be a pain in their backsides. And free speech be damned.
We recently ran a live panel webinar exploring HR-IT collaboration in Scandinavia. This was the result of a survey and subsequent report we released back in March that focused on how IT professionals feel about HR in relation to their priorities, and about HR systems in general. If you missed the live webinar, you can of course stream the recording for free on our website, but for those of you who just want to get straight to the key takeaways, this is the blog post for you. An IT strategy for HR We first looked at the importance of having an IT strategy for HR, and what effect that has on the HR-IT relationship. One of the findings in our report was that when there is a clear IT strategy for HR, there is a correlation with higher satisfaction with the collaboration overall. While discussing this in more detail with our panel members, these key points emerged: - A clear HR-IT strategy aligns different departments with the need for a common source of data and automated processes. - In companies (like our guests from Sigma) that deal with significant turnover each year, automation and efficiency in on- and offboarding processes is highly important both from the HR and IT perspectives. - The adoption of new processes and technology is all about people, making HR the centre of digital transformation. - A clear IT strategy for HR helps non-technical people to navigate the digital transformation. Access management and data security Our report also found that 95% of IT professionals see system access control as highly important. Given that the data used for automation in granting and revoking access should ideally come from secure, well-maintained HR master data, the logic of HR-IT collaboration is clear. For example: - With the number of employees on- and offboarded every year, making sure that no-one has inappropriate access to data is vital. Integration and automation between HR master data and access management takes care of this. - GDPR compliance in handling salary and health data is not only about following rules; a breach could potentially result in major fines, and loss of ISO certifications and reputation. - When HR master data is not properly digitalised, or data sits across many different systems, access management becomes an unwieldy manual process prone to errors and vulnerable to breaches. What we see is that data security and access management is becoming a very high priority when investing in HCM systems, and IT is increasingly involved in the buying processes of HR technology. Both HR and IT are important stakeholders in the selection process, making effective collaboration essential. The impact of COVID-19 on IT and HR It’s almost impossible to escape coronavirus talk these days, but in the case of HR systems and their ability to support both HR and IT during times of crisis, it is highly relevant to review what we’ve learned during this time. The key points our panel identified were: - Access to centralised, high quality employee data is crucial. - Constant control over the number of employees working full time, on reduced hours, on sick leave, and what their key competencies are, etc. - Reliable system support for effectively bringing people back to work when the time comes. It is also, unfortunately, a reality that systems should be in place to support professional offboarding for those not returning to work. Tom Olberg, ERP Advisor at Devoteam had this advice for businesses who want to take advantage of the knowledge and experiences gained in the past few months: “Structure and increase the quality of your master data so that you are able to digitise your processes, move away from manual and ad-hoc manager support, and take advantage of technologies such as AI and Machine Learning, when you are ready for them.” If you’d like to get into the details and data behind the webinar, you can download and read the full Scandinavian HR-IT Report 2020 below.
The Original Gifts of Christmas What are Frankincense & Myrrh? They're both resins - the hardened sap harvested from rare trees. Frankincense is from the Boswellia tree. The resin bleeds out of cuts in the tree's bark and dries into white "tears". Myrrh is from the Cammiphora tree and dries into dark red crystals. The Gold: 23 Karat Gold, the original gift of Melchior, floating in a hand-blown glass globe The Frankincense: The highest quality found in Oman and Yemen - the same regions as the original gift brought by Balthasar. The Myrrh: From Arabia - the source of the finest myrrh and the same region as the gift brought by Caspar. The Three Box Set: Each Original Gift is contained in its own antique looking, hand-made wooden box designed to capture the spirit of the gifts carried by the Three Kings.
Bibbiena (BERNARDO Dovizl) an Italian Cardinal and comedy-writer, known best by the name of the town Bibbiena, where he was born August 4, 1470; d. at Rome, November 9, 1520. His obscure parentage did not prevent him from securing a literary training at the hands of the best scholars and from associating with the most conspicuous men that Florence could boast. A jovial temper and racy Tuscan wit enhancing the charm of good looks and courtly manners soon made him the preceptor as well as the boon companion of Giovanni dei Medici’s merry hours. When the Medici were banished and sorrow followed mirth (November, 1494) it was seen that a gay man of the world could become a brave and steadfast friend. Not long after, the protection of Julius II and many honors at the Roman court were to be his reward. In 1513 his strenuous exertions on behalf of his lifelong patron secured the election of Giovanni dei Medici to the pontifical throne. Such services Leo X repaid by bestowing on him the purple robe, appointing him his treasurer and entrusting him with many important missions, among them a legation to France (1518). Later on, the cardinal’s strong sympathies for France lost him Leo’s confidence. The story, however, that he was poisoned‚Äû in spite of Giovio and Grassi’s reports, has absolutely no foundation. (Pastor, Geschichte der Papste, IV, Part I, Leo X.) As cardinal he steadily extended a generous patronage to art. From Raphael, whose devotion he won, we have his best likeness. His literary fame is mainly connected with the first good comedy written in Italian prose, “La Calandra” (also, known as “Il Calandro” and “La Calandria”), a distinctly juvenile production, probably give n for the first time at Urbino, about 1507, and very elaborately performed at Rome, seven years later, in the presence of Leo X and Isabella Gonzaga d’Este, Marchioness of Mantua. Though marred by many scenes glaringly immoral, and though built upon the plot of Plautus’s “Menaechmi”, it possessed the features of modern comed and won plaudits for its sparkling wit and fine characterization. Ariosto and Machiavelli imitated him in their plays. The latest edition of “La Calandra” is in the “Teatro Italiano Antico” (Florence, 1888). EDOARDO SAN GIOVANNI
I believe what you are looking for is a spiritual director. If that is the case, definitely consider asking your pastor for recommendations. You could also ask for recommendations from a priest to whom you confess regularly. If there is an abbey, monastery, convent, or Catholic retreat center within reasonable driving distance that seems solid in the faith (you can browse their Web site to assess that), then you might make an appointment with the abbot, prior, prioress, or director and ask for recommendations. The book Seeking Spiritual Direction by the late Fr. Thomas Dubay, S.M., is also a helpful resource.
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary during a penitential prayer service in St. Peter’s Basilica March 25, the Vatican said. On the same day, the Vatican said, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, the papal almoner, will carry out a similar consecration at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. According to the Vatican’s translation of the messages of Fatima, when Mary appeared to the three shepherd children in Fatima in 1917, she told them, “God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace.” Warning of “war, famine, and persecutions of the church and of the Holy Father,” Mary told the children, “to prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart.” Some groups have continued to argue that Mary’s wish was never fulfilled or that it was never done properly because the pope consecrated the world and not “Russia.” The Vatican, however, has insisted St. John Paul II did so in 1984 when he led the world’s bishops in the consecration of Russia and the world. The late Sister Lucia dos Santos, the last surviving visionary and the one who received the instructions for the consecration, had said that it was properly performed. At his Sunday recitations of the Angelus since Russia invaded Ukraine Feb. 24, people have been showing up in St. Peter’s Square with signs asking the pope for the consecration of Russia or of Russia and Ukraine to Mary. The Fatima message promised: “If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated.” But, the message continued: “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.”

Known for being a single bonded and territorial animal, this beautiful cat is marketed to buyers in the United States along with bobcat ownership. An expensive, and often times illegal, private possession of the Canada Lynx, includes a dedicated lifespan of ~20 years in captivity. These cats are predictably dangerous as they mature and will attack in protection of what they perceive to be their “person” or territory. Though legal to own in some areas they are generally classified as inherently dangerous wild animals. Their razor sharp teeth and hooked claws can cause instant severe harm. Canada Lynx Facts – Lynx canadensis Habitat: Dense boreal forests Lifespan: Wild 8-12 years Captivity 18-22 years Status: Least concern A medium -sized, long-legged cat, with thick fur, and large paws. Winter pelage (fur) is dense and has a grizzled appearance with grayish-brown mixed with buff or pale brown fur on the back, and grayish-white or buff-white fur on the belly, legs and feet. Summer pelage is more reddish to gray-brown. Lynxes have a relatively small head with a flared facial ruff. Back of the ears black at base, ear tips prominently marked with an elongated tuft of black hair. Short, completely black tipped tail. Long legs, with hind limbs longer than forelimbs. Snowshoe like paws, that can spread widely with the fur covering the paws long and dense. Males are slightly larger and heavier than females. Snowshoe hares form most of the diet, may also prey on small rodents and ground birds; ungulates are mostly eaten as carrion; larger food items may be cached under snow or brush and visited later. Almost entirely nocturnal, hiding during the day. They hunt by either stalking and rushing at their prey or ambushing it from “ambush beds” established near the trails of prey. Canada lynxes live in boreal, subboreal, and western montane forests, preferring older regenerated forests and generally avoid younger stands. They also need persistent deep snow, which limits competition from other hare predators. They can tolerate human disturbance. Breeding season is from March to early April, with a gestation of 60 to 70 days, 1 to 8 cubs will be born. Dens are found in hollow logs, stumps, timber clumps, or root tangles. Populations undergo dramatic fluctuations roughly every 10 years, following the regular cycles of population increase and decline of their primary prey, the snowshoe hare. Meet our Canada Lynx Jynx the Lynx Jynx-the-Lynx arrived at Cat Tales in August 2020 after we were contacted regarding his lifelong owner and bonded caregiver, Jon, who had recently passed away. A longtime friend of Jon’s who was the executor to Jynx’s care and placement, reached out to Cat Tales to find a forever home for this orphaned lynx. Upon arrival he appeared to be in quite good health, something that often is not the case when we receive rescues from the private sector. Jynx is exceptionally large for a Canada Lynx and has the attitude to match. Born 2007 Sibella came to us at Cat Tales in September 2018 when she was four months old. For her first months with us she lived in our nursery, being handled by a few dedicated keepers on a day-by-day basis to get her comfortable with health checks. As her personality developed, she moved outside near our canines, and then more recently into the Small Cat Forest next to Jynx-the-Lynx. Sibella has fully grown into herself! She is a vibrant, curious little Canadian Lynx who loves to play with Jynx through their enclosure walls and follow our keepers around when they clean her house. Sibella is loving her life in her new home! Born May 10, 2018

Mental Health: Bringing Awareness Towards Childhood Wellness Children’s mental health is a crucial aspect of their overall well-being. It affects a child’s ability to cope with challenges, build relationships, and succeed academically. Recognizing and addressing mental health concerns in children can lead to better long-term outcomes and improve their overall quality of life. Some common mental health challenges that you can find in children are anxiety, stress, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and behavioral disorders like aggression, defiance, and disruptiveness. Signs and Symptoms It is essential for parents to be aware of potential signs and symptoms that may indicate mental health concerns in their children: Changes in appetite Changing sleep patterns or energy levels Irritability or mood swings Difficulty concentrating or declining academic performance Withdrawal from activities or social interactions Frequent physical complaints without apparent medical cause Engaging in risky behaviors or substance abuse Unexplained weight loss or gains How You Can Support A Child’s Mental Health Open Communication: Encourage children to express their thoughts and feelings openly. Create a safe and non-judgmental environment where they feel comfortable discussing their emotions. Healthy Lifestyle: Promote a balanced lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, a nutritious diet, and sufficient sleep. Physical well-being is closely tied to mental well-being. Establish Routines: Consistent routines can provide children with a sense of security and stability, reducing anxiety and stress. Foster Social Connections: Encourage social interactions and friendships to help children develop social skills, a support network, and a sense of belonging. Seek Professional Help: If you notice persistent or severe signs of mental health challenges, it is crucial to consult with a qualified mental health professional. CBHA Behavioral Health Counselors can provide assessment, counseling, and therapeutic interventions tailored to children’s unique needs. Their expertise helps identify and address underlying mental health issues, providing children and their families with the necessary tools and strategies for recovery and well-being.

It is a pleasure to announce that a new scientific paper has been published on the CBRN special, that is one of the 3 the special issue of SICC Series - CBRNe Conference 2020 published on the International Journal of Safety and Security Engineering (Guest editors of the special issue: Dr. Andrea Malizia, Dr. Marco D'Arienzo and Dr. Parag Chatterjee). Kliushnikov, I., Fesenko, H., Kharchenko, V., Illiashenko, O., Morozova, O. (2021). UAV fleet based accident monitoring systems with automatic battery replacement systems: Algorithms for justifying composition and use planning. International Journal of Safety and Security Engineering, Vol. 11, No. 4, pp. 319-328. https://doi.org/10.18280/ijsse.110404 The existing approaches suggest that justifying robotic monitoring systems composition and use planning are carried out through a set of predefined missions. The paper proposes the algorithm of justifying composition and utilization of monitoring systems for critical infrastructure objects based on the theory of transport systems considering possible types of the monitoring missions. The considered monitoring system comprises a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV fleet) and automatic battery replacement systems. The algorithm provides a procedure for defining the monitoring system composition and using the UAV fleet and the automatic battery replacement systems taking into account the requirements for the number of ground objects from which data needs collecting, range, transmission frequency, volume of the transmitted data, and operation time. Methods of research are the following: graph theory, theory of transportation system (methods for solving the traveling salesman problem and multiple traveling salesman problem); mathematical optimization models (evolutionary algorithms), job shop scheduling. The algorithm allows finding an optimal or near optimal compromise solving for composition and utilization of monitoring system for different cases; reducing the time of justifying the monitoring system composition and takes into account the various requirements such as transmission frequency, volume of the transmitted data, and continuous operation time; planning using UAV and automated battery replacement aerial stations (ABRAS) as the parts of transportation system.
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The 606 Trail is a hotspot for runners and bikers, but last week witnesses say a truck zipped down the popular path, leading to some scary moments. Turns out, it's not the first time something like this has happened on the trail. In fact, Ald. Daniel La Spata (1st), one of three aldermen whose wards include portions of the trail, said it was the seventh time a car got on the 606 this year. A Logan Square man told CBS 2's Tim McNicholas more should be done to protect people who use it. "You could imagine a car barrelling down," Brennan McDowell said. McDowell said he hopped on his skateboard for a ride on the 606 Thursday night. "It's decently crowded still at that hour. Kids families people just riding their bikes," he said. Bus his cruise quickly went off course. McDowell said he had to scurry to the side of the trail to avoid a pickup truck driving 30 to 40 mph as it headed east on the 606. At least two others tweeted that they also saw a truck on the elevated trail. McDowell said he called the police. "I proceeded to give chase as best I could, in case anybody down the way had gotten injured, which seemed plausible at the time. I'm frankly amazed that nobody had gotten hurt from this car. Some of these spaces are so narrow that, where could you really go?" he said. It might be unlike anything McDowell has ever seen on the trail, but it's not the first time it's happened. Last year, someone posted a video to Reddit of a car on the 606. Back in 2016, an Instragram user posted a photo of a car in the middle of the path. "I don't think it would take much to put some kind of obstacle just to make this kind of action impossible," McDowell said. McDowell didn't see where the driver got on or off the trail last week, but there are spots where it's possible. The west trailhead ramp feeds right into a cul de sac on Ridgeway Avenue. The east trailhead entrance is also wide enough for vehicles to enter, and it might be possible for cars to get onto some other entrance ramps, with a tight squeeze. McDowell said the Chicago Park District should install barriers on 606 Trail ramps to keep cars off. "At the very least the main entrances, anything wide enough to get a car onto this thing, because it seems like something that could be very easily solved, versus what could happen if you don't solve it," he said. He said it was tough to see because the truck's lights were off, but it looked to him like a dark, beat-up pickup truck. One that he hopes to never see again. La Spata said the truck that McDowell saw got on The 606 at Lawndale Avenue and exited at Western Avenue. The alderman said permanent barriers are not an option, because police and Chicago Park District workers need to get on the trail, but he is looking at the possibility of removable bollards. Chicago Police said they are still looking for the driver of the truck.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle has called for a commission member to resign after becoming aware of the member's social media posts about Muslims and people from the Middle East. "I was made aware late yesterday of social media posts by Sharon Brannigan, a member of our Cook County Commission on Women's Issues. If these posts accurately reflect her views on diversity and inclusion, I believe she should step down from the Commission," states Preckwinkle. She continues, "Such viewpoints certainly do not reflect our values nor, in my opinion, the kind of representation we want on the Commission. Ms. Brannigan is the appointee of Commissioner Sean Morrison. I ask that Commissioner Morrison seek Ms. Brannigan's immediate resignation." Brannigan is also a Palos Township trustee. Preckwinkle's recommendation comes two days after some Palos residents organized a rally denouncing Brannigan's social media posts, including one that reads, "What's Palos doing? Why are all our schools filling with Middle East students without proper documentation?" Another Facebook post from 2015 criticizes the community's Muslim population for "keeping themselves and their activities hidden" from others, WBBM's Andy Dahn reports. "I am not anti-Muslim," Brannigan told CBS 2's Dana Kozlov Monday night. "I am pro-community and pro-taxpayer." Asked if she regretted the social-media postings, Brannigan replied: "I regret that they feel it was a slight." Emily Biegel is director and founder of Southwest Suburban Activists, a group that organized Monday's rally. "It's not that we're attacking her right to free speech, but with free speech comes consequences," Biegel said. "If you've been charged with representing your entire township, that includes the ones who's religion you have such disdain for." CBS 2 is reaching out to Commissioner Sean Morrison for comment.
The Associated Press on Friday released its annual All-Pro teams, headlined by unanimous first-team selections in Christian McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill and Fred Warner. There are 14 first-time All-Pros on this year's first and second team, while Aaron Donald is now an eight-time All-Pro and Zack Martin made it for the seventh time. This was the second year for the AP's new voting system, wherein voters chose a first team and a second team -- first-team votes were worth three points and second-team votes were worth one. The All-Pro selections are as follows: The San Francisco 49ers led the NFL with five first-team selections, including unanimous choices in McCaffrey and Warner. The Dallas Cowboys were next up with four first-teamers, and the Baltimore Ravens had three, including Lamar Jackson at quarterback. Dallas led the league with five second-team selections, including Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons. The Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions each placed three players on the second team. Jackson is considered the favorite to win the league's MVP award, and he received 45 of 50 first-team votes. Prescott and Brock Purdy received two apiece, while Josh Allen received one. CeeDee Lamb missed out on being a unanimous first-team selection by just one vote. Winfield, St. Brown and Quincy Williams each made the first team despite not being selected for the Pro Bowl. The team-by-team leaders on both teams combined are as follows: - Dallas Cowboys (9) - San Francisco 49ers (7) - Baltimore Ravens (6) - Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles (5) - Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams (3) - Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2) - Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks (1) Because Aiyuk and Evans tied in the voting, they split the second, second-team wide receiver spot. That nudged the 49ers ahead of the Ravens for the second-most All-Pro selections, and elevated the Bucs to being one of the 13 teams with multiple All-Pros. The only teams to not have a single selection were the Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans.

MD Magazine: What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome? MD Magazine recently published a video and a transcript from an interview featuring a team of experts on Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS. The panel interview, Expert Perspectives on Diagnosis and Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, was moderated by Mark Pimentel, MD, director of the Medically Associated Science and Technology Program at Cedars-Sinai. Pimentel interviewed four experts in the field, including Cedars-Sinai’s Brennan Spiegel, MD, director of Health Services Research, and Ali Rezaie, MD, medical director of GI Motility. As Pimentel explained, IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder affecting an estimated one in six people in the United States. Symptoms for the disease vary and can be mild or severe. “IBS is a long-term condition,” Pimentel told viewers. “So, symptoms may come and go, and change over time.” The expert panel discussed several other topics on IBS, including the causes, diagnostic workup, management of the disease and emerging therapies in the field. On their first visits to a gastroenterologist, most patients complain of abdominal pain, or cramping in their bellies as well as abdominal bloating. IBS patients also experience changes in bowel habits, ranging from constipation to diahrea. When diagnosing IBS, Spiegel said, doctors should be looking “for people who have recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort, with abnormalities in stool frequency or form.” Spiegel also cautioned doctors to rule out other illnesses. “Make sure they aren’t losing weight without trying and aren’t passing blood in their stool,” said Spiegel. “These are signs that we call alarm signs, which would suggest maybe another diagnosis before we’re willing to make a diagnosis of IBS.” Click here to watch the complete MD Magazine interview and read the transcript.

IT and Operational Spending on Anti-Money Laundering: 2023 Edition Celent estimates spending on AML technology and operations by financial institutions worldwide will reach US$58.0 billion in 2023, driven by new regulations and fines, increasing operational complexity, and financial institutions' imperative to reign in costs through process automation and AI/machine learning. In recent years, financial institutions have sought to lower AML compliance costs—and increase the effectiveness of their compliance programs—by modernizing AML technology with AI, process automation, cloud deployment, APIs and other next-gen techniques. Despite some firms attaining remarkable efficiencies in some areas from such enhancements, a steady onslaught of new regulation and increasing operational complexity conspire to keep AML costs rising. Spending on AML Technology in 2023 This report, based on data from a proprietary Celent survey undertaken in 2022, provides our estimates of investments in AML technology—as well as operational spending on AML—by financial institutions worldwide, including banks, insurers, broker-dealers, and wealth and asset management firms. The report presents global estimates and breakdowns including: - Spending by global region: North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World. - Functional distribution of spending with focus on three key AML components: KYC-CDD, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring. - Technology spending breakdown by: internal spending, hardware, external software, and external services. - Operational spending trends. - Spending by type and size of financial institution. - Spending on new initiatives vs. run-the-bank maintenance activities. - Key technology trends and imperatives for financial institutions and solution providers in 2023.
Name : Shane Mclean Occupation : Business Owner (Accounting software, Software development and data management) Connection to Central : Resident Property owner Why is the SRA Important to you? I have lived in Central for over 4 years. This area has so much potential to showcase what Port Elizabeth is all about. The diversity in its people, buildings and surroundings is unlike any area in Port Elizabeth. The SRA is the only legal means for us (the community) to take back Central. Without it we are at the hands of the municipality alone! Name: Kenrick Brown Occupation : Business Analyst – National Glass Connection to Central : Works in Central Why is the SRA Important to you? Local Governments do not have the resources to manage municipalities effectively. Apathy will not fix Central and so local communities need to take control of the areas they live in and create positive change.
Patrick’s opinion on the proposed Central SRA: We are already being taxed to death with nothing to show for it. I am already stretched and refuse to pay extra for services that should be already funded. Patrick is a proud Central Resident in Park Drive. Editor: The purpose of any SRA is to provide additional services that will further enhance the area and property values. An SRA does not take the place of any municipal services. Previously known as a City Improvement District (CID), a Special Rated Area (SRA) is a specific geographic area within which property owners agree to pay for supplementary services. The Municipal Property Rates Act 2004, allowed for the formation of SRAs which empower property owners to implement additional services in their designated area. Municipalities are obligated to maintain existing service levels after an SRA is established. A strong SRA has better ‘clout’ with the municipality.

Rome (Italy). On 31 May 2023 in Rome, in the General House of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, concluded the Ongoing Formation Course for Missionaries ad gentes on the theme “With Mary, being a ‘presence’ that generates life” (Acts GC XXIV), in which 13 missionaries from all over the world took part, with stops in Mornese, Nizza, Turin. The group of new missionaries, who are completing the year of preparation and formation for the mission ad gentes, interviewed them. 1- What are the most beautiful experiences of your missionary life? (Sr. Maria Remedos ECU) “Late one Saturday evening, I was going to a village of the Shuar ethnic group for catechism. It was raining heavily and a man was missing who lived far from the place where we had gathered. So, I decided to go to look for him, but I had to cross a river that was rising. In any case, I wanted to go and look for this man and I set off, leaving the village. A little girl stood in front of me, preventing me from proceeding and I went back. When I arrived at the meeting place, everyone was crying because they believed I was dead and they had already alerted the men to look for me by the river. Our Lady really saved me!” (Sr. Angela ANT) “I was in the South of the Dominican Republic in the years 1980-1990, and at that time the population was totally abandoned by the government and the Church due to the lack of priests. We FMA with the Salesians tried to help the people, both from a material point of view and from a spiritual animation point of view (in various circumstances, I have also blessed funerals). Those years were years of great material precariousness, even for us Sisters and the people shared what they had with us. I was very moved by the gratitude of a former student who lived in the United States who, when she learned of this situation, came and brought food for 24 families for the duration of 1 month. People were very grateful to this lady.” 2- What is the secret to integrate well into the mission? (Sr. Pilar ANT) “In the South of the Dominican Republic, where I was in the years 1990-2000, the people were very poor. The people must always be loved and in certain situations the Sisters must do everything. Hope for the promotion and education of the girls was placed in us FMA. It is necessary to be Daughters of Mary Help of Christians where the Lord asks you to be and feel at home”. (Sr. Norma MDG) “The secret lies in ‘divesting oneself’ of one’s own culture to make room for and welcome the new culture into which one is inserted with love. We must love the culture with its own traditions and rites; enter on tiptoe with great respect for the dignity of each person, of all people, of the people, despite the difficulties in learning the language.” 3- How did you deal with the difficulties you encountered in your mission? (Suor Maria Fe TIN) “When we arrived in East Timor, there were difficulties within the country; we entered by learning the language. It was very difficult, because people don’t speak English very well. We brought a notebook with us to write down the words. The first step to enter people’s hearts is to learn the language and walk with them, sharing moments of suffering, persecution, and violence. We stayed with the people and with them we had the experience of being under the Cross. On many occasions, we experienced the powerful help of the Virgin Help of Christians.” (Sr. Teresita GIA) “I encountered the difficulties above all before leaving for the mission, because I had not made a missionary request, but the Provincial asked me for this obedience. I was afraid because of my fragile health, because of my language, of not fitting in. Then I said to myself, ‘despite all this resistance, I am going to do God’s will’. When I arrived in the mission, I had no illnesses; the language is very difficult, but thanks to faith, I overcame the difficulties. On December 3, on the feast of St. Francis Xavier – patron saint of missions – I made the missionary request. I am a happy FMA missionary!” 4- What do you expect from new missionaries who arrive on a mission? (almost all the missionaries) “The new missionaries who arrive at a mission must not think that they are going to save the world; they have to give the best of themselves and accept reality as it is. They are not going to revolutionize anything. The important thing is to be available like Don Bosco’s handkerchief to be sent where God sends them through the Superiors. We want them to be mature women, ready for all the work, and to find Jesus in every person. They must not forget that the mission belongs to God and Jesus and Mary precede us. LET’S GO FORWARD with courage and serenity. God is at work and we, together with the Sisters of the Community in which we are inserted, continue in the footsteps traced by so many missionaries who gave everything for the mission”. The new missionaries expressed their gratitude to the Sisters as follows: Thank you, dear Sisters, for your testimony of life totally given freely to the people, to the many young people met on the path of your mission. Thank you for the testimony of faith that you have given us, for your profound gaze and the ability to ‘decipher’ life in your perennial pilgrimage alongside every person. Thank you for your humanity which has taken on everything: joy, tears, worries, plans, and hopes and for your life, which is a song of joy and praise to the God of Life!

“the quality of senior leadership — including core capabilities as well as personal qualities such as honesty and integrity — has a direct, and measurable, impact on analysts’ assessments of whether companies have been successful and will be successful in the future.” I’m interested in the balance between ‘doing’ and ‘being’ that this statement implies… What do we really need to do to demonstrate good leadership skills? Is it following the right strategy and the right processes? Or is it something much less tangible to do with our overall demeanour and how we influence and communicate with those around us? Deloitte identified the gap between the value of a company with good leadership and that of a company with weaker leadership could be more than 35.5%, so good leadership is massively important. Project Leadership is made more difficult by the temporary nature of the project management hierarchy. The structure of seniority is possibly just for the life of the project, so the relationships involved are not yet established and need to be worked on, often from scratch. Herding people through a process just isn’t going to be enough in this situation. You may get from beginning to the end in this way, but the results are unlikely to be optimal. The immense power of collaboration will be lost, the quality and benefits generated by the project will suffer, and it will be very much harder to deal with the conflicts and obstacles that will occur along the way. The truth is that effective leadership qualities are about ‘soft skills’ and process skills in equal measure. You need to know what you need to be doing; but how you do it can make the difference between ultimate success or failure. In today’s fast moving and complex environment, there will be problems, risks, and also opportunities, that are not evident at the start. The agility to respond to these by harnessing the qualities of the whole team is a critical part of a good leadership skills set. This can only be achieved in an environment where strong relationships allow views to be freely expressed without fear of reprisal, creating a genuine culture of collaboration. True leaders use their personal qualities to pull their team together and share their passion and belief in the project’s goals, so that everyone can contribute their best. The vision of where you are heading, and how you get there, comes not just from a process, but from the leader’s ability to influence with honesty and integrity. Seth Godin, the American entrepreneur, commented: “Leadership on the other hand, is about creating change you believe in.” It’s sharing that belief that makes the difference.

In 1984, a little independent TV station in St. Louis, MO introduced Voltron to the world. And while the 2 original anime series are now distance memories in Japan, Voltron has returned to television and comics again and again, proving that there really is no stopping Voltron. Join me as I look at the history of Voltron, from an anime licensing expo in France in the early 80s to the current hit series airing on Netflix. Voltron is one of my absolute favorites, so I really put a lot of work into this one. Hope you enjoy! Next episode, a commentary for 2 episodes of Voltron, 1 from the classic series, and 1 from the current show.

How do you support clients? If my successes and failures throughout my career so far have taught me anything, it is the criticality of not overlooking the people-centric part of manufacturing. The technical aspects of identifying changes to implement are usually pretty straightforward compared to the challenge of actually getting people to do things differently, day-in and day-out. Driving those behavioural and cultural changes is a great challenge – refining my approach to this central problem has been my greatest learning over the past 8 years, and still continues every day. What you enjoy most about working at Chartwell? My favourite thing about working at Chartwell is continuously learning. Whatever grade you are at or project you are staffed on, there are always opportunities to learn and great people to learn from – internally and on the client side. A close second would be the satisfaction of making real, measurable change happen. What’s your education? Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Sciences and Master’s Degree in Materials Science from Cambridge University, UK What honors & awards have you received? - 3x Guest Lecturer at Cambridge University Manufacturing Engineering Department on the topic of Sustainable Manufacturing - Part of a team of three Chartwell staff who started up the Chartwell US Office in 2017 - Corpus Christi College Football Club Player of the Season, 2014-15 What’s your background? I spent my childhood moving between different countries every 2-3 years. Perhaps this is where my love of seeing new places and meeting new people comes from. At university, I quickly moved away from my original plan to study Physics and towards the more tangible and directly-applicable study of Materials Science. The opportunity to use my science degree to solve interesting, urgent, important problems in a manufacturing setting and to get paid to travel the world and meet interesting people was too good to pass up, and I was delighted to join Chartwell after finishing my Master’s degree in 2015. Being one of Chartwell’s first 10 employees, I have been able to help grow and shape the business in a wide range of areas – from recruitment to training and new product development. I was also one of three Chartwell team members to set up our US office in Boston in 2017, where I have now returned to live. During my time at Chartwell, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a wide range of industries and meet wonderful people around the world – expert Cheese makers in Wisconsin, textile weavers in Georgia, Foam makers in Poland, Super Yacht painters in Mallorca and Barcelona, and many experts in biomedical sciences in Pharmaceutical plants across Europe and the US. Being able to build relationships with interesting people from every level of our clients’ organizations has been a great source of joy for me. What’s one piece of advice you would give to a client? The one FIVE most important insights I try to pass along to clients, colleagues, and anyone else who will listen: - Always start with the big picture view – spending a little time at the start to understand the scale and shape of the problem before diving into the detail is always time well spent. - A gap analysis is pretty much the best way to look at any issue – where are we?, where do we want to be?, what’s the plan to close the gap? - Linked to the above, think about how success is going to be measured – both at the immediate level (do you have a metric with a baseline, a target and current performance?) and at a higher level (How will we know if we are doing the right things to drive success?). If you’re not doing that, you run a high risk of doing a lot of directionally-helpful-but-ultimately-ineffective work. - Everything is clearer as a picture – people will always understand your points more clearly if you can make them visual. Spend time simplifying. - Don’t forget the people – in the end, all change has to come from the people on the frontline actually doing the tasks. If they’re not strongly represented in the team driving the change, you are very unlikely to succeed. What is your greatest achievement at Chartwell? My greatest achievement at Chartwell was undoubtedly the work I did to help establish our US office. The ongoing impact from our work to hire, train and support that original group of excellent team members is far greater than anything I could hope to achieve individually – and I’m very proud of the impact of my individual work. What you like to do outside of work? Outside of work I’m a keen football player, scuba diver, nature photographer, traveller, beer brewer, hiker, reader, and cook. Any time I can be outdoors, underwater or eating something extraordinary is time well spent for me. Are there any other insights where we can find out more about you and your work?
CrÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e is a very easyÂ and decadent dessert. Donâ€™t let the stories of making scrambled eggs scare you. Also, a torch is not necessary for this dish, this recipe uses the broiler. It is an easy make ahead dish and all you have to do is caramelize the sugar before serving. The egg whites can be used to make egg white omelets, such as, Chorizo, Onion, Tomato, Cilantro & Queso Fresco Egg White Omelet. 2 cups of heavy cream 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract 6 large egg yolks 1/4 cup of sugar, plus extra for caramelizing about 6 teaspoons Garnish with fruit and a chiffonade of mint if desired In a medium sauce pan, heat cream and vanilla over medium low heat. Stir frequently until warm and vanilla has infused into the cream about 5 minutes. Do not boil. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Cream mixture wonâ€™t be completely cool, but slightly warm to the touch. Whisk periodically to prevent skin from forming on top. While cream is cooling, in a large bowl whisk egg yolks and Â¼ cup of sugar until fully incorporated and doesnâ€™t have a grainy texture. Whisk egg mixture periodically. After cream has cooled, slowly whisk in part of the cream mixture to the egg mixture and then gradually add the rest. Using 6 – 4 ounce ramekins, pour mixture through a fine sieve into ramekins about Â¾ of the way up. Pouring through a fine sieve is important, because it will catch any lumps. Place ramekins into a cake pan. Pour water into pan to come up Â¼ of the way up the ramekins. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Let cool for an hour at room temperature and refrigerate. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or over night. Before serving, remove ramekins and let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Using a large cookie sheet lined with foil, place ramekins on sheet and evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar over each dessert. Broil over high for about 1 minute. Check frequently for that one minute, because they can easily burn. Remove and let sit for about 10 minutes to cool. Garnish, serve and enjoy!

This is it - our final paternity newsletter. And this one is a bit of a gamble to write, but I have faith that God will help me out and this one will work out fine. Whenever I first started the process of prepping for this leave, I brought it to our LVL2 members. I had one member express genuine concern about the huge gap in time. There was fear that our inertia we had built up over two years would fizzle under the weight of the absence. I told them that I believed that wouldn't happen in the places that it mattered. We might not start off quite right on Twitch. Streaming may take some time to get back where it was. Our YouTube may have suffered a bit by the different format for the weekly sermons. They didn't feel quite the same, I'm sure. Maybe it hurt our algorithm reach. However - both of these considerations are icing on the cake for me. I have no goal to be a Twitch streamer. I don't want to be a YouTuber. I hope to never earnestly proclaim myself as an influencer (even if Twitter has that as the only logical tag for me). At Checkpoint, we are building something better. Something stronger. Something more important than content or an algorithm. We're building relationships. We're building community. We're making a difference together. We're making memories together. Time can't take that away from us. Nothing can separate us from the experience that we are being given by the holy community found in the digital home we call Checkpoint Church. We can always improve our reach. We can always do better, shoot higher, expand our ministries services. But no matter what - we've already succeeded. We've already won. We've done the thing - we are community. I entered this two years ago asking if Checkpoint Church was possible. I write this as I am about to go on my leave and I have the bold answer: yes. Absolutely yes. And it will surely only get better from here. I cannot wait to be back with you this week - I know you'll still be there.
THEY call it ‘the beautiful game’ for a reason. Football is so much more than just skills on the pitch. It’s about a love of the sport that brings the whole nation together, creating teamwork, social skills – and community. All of these make up Hyundai FC – a pioneering scheme from Chelsea FC’s official sponsor that’s helping to bridge the gap between grassroots and Premier League football by connecting local clubs and coaches with the game’s top experts. The scheme is open to both boys and girls, and is part of Hyundai’s wider ‘For the Fans’ campaign, which has scouted 11 teams from across the country – including Willaston White Star Football Club – to take part in a grassroots football season. It has already seen young players and coaches step out on to the pitch at Stamford Bridge. This exciting launch day was followed by a visit to Willaston White Star FC by Chelsea FC’s Foundation coaching team which provided a training plan and session, and watched the keen footballers show their skills. A second visit to all as part of the Hyundai FC project is also planned. “Chelsea’s coaching staff going out to the local clubs is great,” says David Pugh, Hyundai’s marketing director. “It’s the one day nobody leaves anything behind. All the kids are trying to impress the coaches from Chelsea, and hopefully it was also great fun for the parents and clubs.” Laurie Griffin, Senior International Development Officer at Chelsea FC, added: “We’ve had a great reaction from players, parents and coaches in every location we’ve visited. The programme has created opportunities for players to learn from Chelsea FC Foundation coaches, which will help them on their footballing journey – wherever that takes them.” - Hyundai UK supports all football fans, from grassroots to Premier League level.

Self-harm: what it is, warning signs, & ways to help What is Self-Harm? Self-harm or self-injury is when you deliberately hurt your own body as a way of coping with very strong or difficult feelings. Typically, people who self-harm do not want to die. It is used as a way to release or cope with painful emotions. Self-harm can happen at any age, but is most common during teenage and young adult years. Common Self-harming Behaviors Self-harm manifests differently with each person, however some common behaviors include: - Picking at wounds - Overdosing on medications - Hitting or punching oneself People who self-harm often try to hide it due to feelings of shame or worry of judgement from others. If you are concerned that your child may be self-harming, here are some signs to look for: - Frequent unexplained injuries - Wearing clothes that are inappropriate for the weather (i.e., long sleeves in hot weather) - Hiding sharp objects like scissors, knives, blades, or lighters and matches - Significant changes in eating and sleeping patterns - Isolation from friends or loss of interest in activities that are usually enjoyable - Big changes in mood, more irritable, and easily agitated - Feelings of sadness, emptiness, worthlessness, hopelessness, or guilt Although self-harm is not the same as a suicide attempt, it can still be a major risk factor for suicide. If someone is engaging in self-harm, it may be helpful to see a mental health professional, therapist, or psychiatrist for support and further assessment. Ways to Help Learning that your child is self-harming/injuring can bring about a range of emotions from shock and denial to anger and guilt. It is important to remain calm and to use your concern in a constructive way to seek understanding from your child about their challenges. Some helpful tips to keep in mind: - Talk to your child as soon as you become aware of the behavior. Ask direct questions. - Listen to your child, take them seriously, and validate their feelings. - Avoid yelling, threats, putdowns, or ultimatums. Demanding that your child just stop is ineffective. - Consider ways to foster a protective home environment by modeling healthy ways of managing stress, having open lines of communication and mutual respect, setting healthy limits around technology, implementing family time, and practice identifying and using helpful coping strategies together. - Know that there is no shame in seeking professional help if necessary. If you need more assistance, speaking with your family pediatrician is a good start, as they can help connect you to a mental health professional.This blog written by CHA Clinician, School-Based Therapy, Shayla St. James, M.E.d, LCMHC

Latest rule to better safeguard minors as addiction in rural areas becomes concern China will tighten its supervision on children's internet use to ensure a healthier environment for their growth, according to a State-level regulation that will come into effect on Jan 1. The regulation has been approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet, and will provide legal protections to children in terms of their rights to use the internet. In the past few years, China has seen its number of child netizens continuously grow. A recent report shows that the nation had more than 193 million child netizens by the end of last year, with the internet penetration rate among the group increasing to 97.2 percent in 2022 from 93.7 percent in 2018. The growth is due mainly to the growing prevalence and popularity of online education and online entertainment such as games and livestreaming, as well as short videos, according to the report. The report was released by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China and the China Internet Network Information Center, and is based on surveys of 31,688 students, 11,624 parents and 787 teachers from 31 provinces and regions. The report said that more young people have started using the internet in the past five years. The urban-rural internet disparity has decreased from 5.4 percentage points in 2018 to one percentage point last year. "It's common to see school or kindergarten teachers assigning or checking homework online nowadays," said Zhu Wei, an associate professor at the China University of Political Science and Law in Beijing. "Many netizens we talked to now are different from the traditionally defined netizens. Now they take the internet as a tool for study rather than the previous purpose of entertainment." He said that with the increasing network coverage and popularity of electronic devices in rural areas, the urban-rural disparity has also narrowed in terms of hardware. However, with the absence of good regulation there is an increased risk of internet addiction among children. "Electronic devices such as mobile phones are used by left-behind children in rural areas to contact their parents, who leave their hometowns for better work and pay. They may use these devices for entertainment purposes more often than their peers in urban areas and can get addicted to the internet without proper regulation from families or schools. "They are too young to tell right from wrong in this case, and once they get obsessed with the internet, they may become weary of studying, indulge in online games, or even quit school," he said. The report also mentioned the weaker internet education for children in rural areas, who may have fewer internet skills or poorer awareness of self-protection compared with their urban counterparts. "It's important to see both sides of the internet. I remember I once had some students from rural areas who were not familiar with internet use and had problems dealing with their homework or research at college. The lack of internet skills or knowledge is not good for their future development," said Wang Wenda, director of college students' psychological health education at Xinhua College of Ningxia University. He added that for children from the countryside, the internet is an effective way of making up for the uneven distribution of educational resources and can help to broaden horizons as well as entertain. Wang suggested that the public should have greater awareness that internet use is a result of social development, which has blended people's daily work and life. "We have to know that children are easily lured by online entertainment by their nature and electronic devices have become a 'parenting tool', which we adults may use to comfort our children when we are doing something else," he added. Zhu, the associate professor, said that the State-level regulation that will take effect next year will offer sound protection to children on the internet. But it will still require joint efforts from the government, society and online companies to enhance management in some "gray zones" — for example, illegally operated websites offering online gaming or reading services containing inappropriate content. The report called for improved internet education in rural areas and stricter management of short videos to give correct guidance to children.
BEIJING - Chinese Premier Li Qiang has signed a decree of the State Council, introducing new regulations governing carbon emissions trading. Effective on May 1, 2024, the regulations aim to provide a legal framework for the operation of China's carbon emissions trading market and ensure the effectiveness of related policies. The regulations focus on the allocation of responsibilities, designating the State Council's ecological and environmental departments to oversee and manage carbon emissions trading. The regulations specify details including the products eligible for trading, trading methods and the distribution of carbon emissions quotas. They also emphasize the need to toughen the crackdown on data fabrication. The national carbon emissions trading market commenced operations in July 2021, marking a significant milestone in achieving the country's emission reduction targets. China aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
The Top Four Most Spoken Languages in Singapore When it comes to understanding the culture of any people, the first thing you should do is to learn their language. This is critical to communicate with the resident well. The following are the top four languages you should learn when intending to travel to Singapore: English is the second most spoken language on earth and was introduced to Singapore during the British colonial rule. You should, therefore, learn English because most people in Singapore speak English as it is the main language of instruction in schools and other institutions of learning. To add on to this, English is one of the four official languages, necessitating you to be conversant in the language, for easy official transactions during your visit or stay. You need to be able to communicate in English in Singapore because it is the only language that transcends cultural barriers and also has a local version known as Singlish. Malay is an indigenous language in Singapore and has the unique status of being the National language as well as one of the four official languages. You should, therefore, learn the language when intending to visit or live in Singapore to ease communication and also to be able to learn and identify with the history of Singapore. Malays are said to be the original inhabitants of present-day Singapore. As such, learning their language will help you integrate easily in the country. This, in turn, will enable you to achieve the goal of your visit easily, be it business, and work, education, tourism, or any other. Chinese language is said to be spoken by more than one million people in Singapore and is one of the four official languages. Learning Chinese is, therefore, critical to your business. You will need to teach Chinese/Mandarin not only to help you in your endeavours in Singapore but also due to its risen status as a result of China emerging as a major world economy. Masterly of Chinese language will enable you to not only transact business in Singapore but also in other countries in the region such as China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Your mastery of the language will also enable you to interact better with people of Chinese descent because you will be able to understand and appreciate them better in their language. Tamil is one of the four official languages in Singapore and has its origin in India and Sri Lanka. To facilitate smooth travel or stay in Singapore, you need to learn the Tamil language which is considered one of the oldest languages and is an official language also in Sri Lanka and the Tamil Nadu state. You will be advantaged to learn Tamil because it is not only spoken in Singapore but also Sri Lanka and the Indian States of Kerala, Karnataka, Andra Pradesh, Telangana and surrounding territories such as Puducherry. The world today is a village. Every country has many foreigners who are there for business or leisure. It is therefore important to as many foreign languages as possible. The above four are crucial especially if you live in an urban place.
\|Home Search This Site Chiropractic Articles Medical Spending Continues to Rise A feature story in the January 9, 2004 issue of the Boston Globe highlights just how expensive medical care is in the United States. According to the article medical expenses climbed at a much higher rate than the rest of the US economy. The article reports that according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which tracks health care spending annually, employers, consumers, and government programs such as Medicaid spent $1.6 trillion, or $5,400 per person, in 2002 on medical care, a 9.3 percent jump over the previous year. The major factor driving up the nation's health care bill was spending on hospital services. According to the article Americans spent 9.5 percent more on hospital care over the previous year. This trend is partly because patients underwent more surgery and had more MRIs and other expensive diagnostic tests in 2002. The study, originally published in the journal Health Affairs, said that consumers spent $212.5 billion out of their own pockets on co-payments and deductibles for hospital stays, doctors' appointments, and prescription drugs. This represented a 6 percent increase from 2001. The total of consumers' personal spending accounted for just 14 percent of overall health care costs. Joseph Newhouse, a professor at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health observes, "The one thing we can say is the savings we had from managed care in the mid-1990s is a thing of the past. The question the study doesn't answer, however, is whether the increased spending bought patients better health. In other words, was it worth it? Over long periods of time you can show the benefits of increased spending, but in any one given year, who knows?"
Faith and Stress Rev. Christopher Smith Says... The questioner raises an example of a situation where obligations create a buildup of stress resulting in a turning to one's faith to be able to better cope with the situation. The example situation describes having examined everything that is going on and having eliminated anything that is not essential. This is a good step to engage in as often there are things in our life that we can get rid of to be able to relieve some of the stress in our life. However, there is a non-intuitive truth that occurs here as well. There are some nonessential things in our lives that help to relieve stress as well. When we cut them out, we end up removing some of the way we deal with stress. For example, someone may enjoy running a few times a week but recognize that this is taking a few hours out of their time, yet the very act of running is burning off some of the tension and stress that is building up. Social outlets may also be an area like this. In terms of looking to one's faith, there are several ways to look at how one's faith interacts in the situation. The first faith perspective would be to consider whether there are accounts in your sacred texts that relate to your situation and which can offer you hope. Coming from a Jewish perspective, what was Gd's response when the chosen people were working too hard and not having enough time to live full lives? What cries have the people made in the psalms? What do these, along with the answers you are getting from prayer, tell you about your situation? Looking at your prayers, what are you praying for? From where have you modeled your prayers? Are you praying just for yourself? Are you praying for your children, workers and mother? Are you remembering others in the world? How have you used the special prayers that come along with the festivals and feasts that occur during the cycle of the year? Have you asked what your vocation is? What does Gd require you to do in your life? What is Gd's calling on the lives of the people around you? These are questions that we often do not ask but often these contain great insight into our situation. Sometimes we are called to address things in a different way that when we first thought about them may have seemed neglectful. Drawing on a Jewish background, what are you doing to ensure that you take a sabbath break each week? If Gd rested on the seventh day, why do you think that you can go seven days a week around the clock without a break? Observing the sabbath is a discipline that has a purpose. It will take some effort to get into it, it may seem like something that is impossible, but once you start to do it it is easier to do than you thought. When looking to your faith, use the fullness of your faith as you approach a situation. As you do this, you will find that you can achieve the shalom that you seek and that G*d really does wish for you to experience wholeness and peace. Page last updated Jan 03, 2013

In these verses the apostle opens the design of the whole epistle, in which he brings forward a charge of sinfulness against all flesh; declares the only method of deliverance from condemnation, by faith in the mercy of God, through Jesus Christ; and then builds upon it purity of heart, grateful obedience, and earnest desires to improve in all those Christian graces and tempers, which nothing but a lively faith in Christ can bring forth. God is a just and holy God, and we are guilty sinners. It is necessary that we have a righteousness to appear in before him: there is such a righteousness brought in by the Messiah, and made known in the gospel; a gracious method of acceptance, notwithstanding the guilt of our sins. It is the righteousness of Christ, who is God, coming from a satisfaction of infinite value. Faith is all in all, both in the beginning and progress of Christian life. It is not from faith to works, as if faith put us into a justified state, and then works kept us in it; but it is all along from faith to faith; it is faith pressing forward, and gaining the victory over unbelief.
