Christine Macdonald is more than just a jock.
She is a recent graduate from Wilfrid Laurier University with a degree in communications, English and business administration.
Coined "an excellent ball handler and floor leader" by Laurier coach Stu Julius, Macdonald was directly responsible for executing the game plan from the point guard position. Over her four year collegiate career that spanned from 2006 to 2010, Macdonald played 1093 minutes and scored 166 points for the Golden Hawks.
As she leaves the classroom for the office, the skills she acquired while shooting free throws and jump shots have become the foundation of her character. Most significantly, they can be transferred beyond the lines of the basketball court and into the workplace.
Although the transition from a high performance athlete to a novice job seeker can be challenging, an athlete's ability to be a humble winner and a motivated loser makes them resilient and ambitious in a competitive marketplace.
"Sports experience is highly valued because employers are aware of the commitment and work ethic required to be a successful student-athlete," Macdonald said.
Companies seek employees who excel in stressful situations, react positively to constructive criticism and emerge as leaders in a team setting. An athlete is frequently required to apply the specific skills mentioned above in order to accomplish their short and long term goals.
The development of skills such as leadership, commitment and time management on a sports field mirrors the skills acquired through work-related experience.
Thus, even with little work experience, an athlete has already been exposed to workplace dynamics and acquired the necessary skills for an entry-level position.
"At times it was stressful and overwhelming, but it taught me useful skills that I can apply to many different situations, especially time management skills that have become second nature," Macdonald said regarding her collegiate career. "I don't think I would have had the opportunity to experience this elsewhere."
From her freshman year, MacDonald understood her duties as a student-athlete and ensured that she maintained a high level of academic success.
When the season was in full swing, MacDonald's schedule was dominated by basketball as the Golden Hawks practiced four days a week, had games two days a week and conditioned three times a week.
Nonetheless, she achieved a cumulative average of 8.25.
Although balancing her schedule was difficult at times, Macdonald stressed that establishing a time-management system allowed her to fit studying around her basketball games and practices.
In fact, she created a schedule that allowed her to pursue her basketball as well as career-related opportunities. She participated in a summer arts co-op program that allowed her to complete co-op hours during the summer instead of during the school year. Furthermore, playing collegiate basketball provided her with the opportunity to contribute to her community as a volunteer.
When asked to comment on her competitive advantage, Macdonald said, "I would want perspective employers to know my time management skills, my performance-driven work ethic, and my ability to work and communicate with diverse personalities."
Many competitive athletes possess similar qualities.

Charles confirmed it himself that Ouroboros will likely to go live around 4Q18 or 1Q19 (Fast forward to 43:10) and staking could be around 5%!
He said it himself and I didnt just come up with the figure. Please watch the interview.
I believe you, no problem there. Just pointing out (to anyone interested) that in reality reward percentages are a bit more complex than just a plain number. The calculator also may give you the result of 5%, or 10% or even ~14% - not that I'm arguing that this would be impossible. Charles may say many things, doesn't mean that we should just blindly follow his oversimplifications.
Thank you for the video …
I normally see those videos until certain point when the interviewer seems that has no idea about what he talking about ( 44:09 min ) just as an example
When he asked get rid from proof of work ( what ??? ) if will be proof of work, proof of stake or combination between the two… its crazy that by now he doesnt get that cardano is POS!!! just asking this to Charles seems to me hugely wrong, i can´t respect those people who interview the CEO of top 10 crypto and ignoring that is proof of stake and they call themselves crypto investing
What wrong with people ?
we really need more rigor …
Yes, at a couple of timeframes you can see Charles mentally facepalming himself as a direct result of the interviewers "clever questions" and comments.
He should do more AMA with the community, quality of questions was a lot higher, Charles seemed to enjoy himself and didn't have to hold in any frustrations on those.
The fact that he said somewhere around 5%, makes me believe that they are considering that range ±1. That is very significant compare from his previous statement of 2-3%. I understand that nothing is final yet until white papers are released. But whatever statement that he releases from hereon should be inline with thier recent discussion.
Totally true, and we enjoy as community too!
yet i understand the purpose …
Ok, I finally got around to watch the vid, and, sorry to ruin the idea, but at no point did he mention that staking rewards would be 5% And this is exactly what I assume you was describing, and at least definitely what people reading the post will think you meant. What Charles sais specifically is:
"So what's the inflation rate for ADA? Will it be a capped supply? Is it going to be logarithmic, or declining like bitcoin?"
Chalres' answer:
"The maximum number of coins is 45 billion, and then it's just a matter of how quickly do you want to go there, so we've been toying with the idea of about 5% inflation rate that monotonically decreases as it gets closer and closer to that 45 billion."
- An inflation of 5% in no way means that staking rewards will be 5% - there are a bit more variables than this. To check this out you can go to the calculator and set
"Yearly reserve decrease"at ~11.2%, which would give the supply inflation of about ~5%, and then you can see what actual yearly reward percentage that would bring, even if we don't change any other parameters:
- In reality Charles just a bit incorrectly described the idea of the real logarithmic inflation, which is set at 5% reserve decrease and not 5% raw inflation. This concept is extensively explained on the Formula page of the same calculator and was taken out of the official presentation of the latest staking ideas, and does actually represent the most recent discussions.
The 5% value is actually exactly the one taken as the default in the calculator at the moment, and gives ~2.23% raw inflation first year. Because inflation decreases as we get closer to the 45 billion - Charles was right in this part.
Can you, please, link the source of this statement?
Yes, the problems with this are:
What he says in an informal interview with some two dudes is in no sense a "released statement", and even less so an "official" one.
He actually said something completely different, as I have pointed out =)
I think he was talking about Shelley more specifically. Ouroboros is live as we speak. I corrected the headline.
Things would have been so much easier if we all agreed about the terms…
"Inflation" implies a return on your holding, which is your base in the calculation.
"Reserve decrease" is a rate by which Cardano reserves decrease each year. It's base is the outstanding, i.e. un-issued ADA, of around 14BLN. This rate has a diminishing return function on your holdings as each year the reserve (i.e. the base) is reduced and the 5% rate is applied to the new, lower base.
Thanks for clarifying. This is completely different than what was postulated!
Is this an annual release/reserve decrease/"inflation" rate? Is this already live?
All of this is just a best guess (or an expectation) at this point, based on all the info we got from IOHK so far. Yes, the rate is yearly (this is why it's called
"Yearly reserve decrease" ), but actual numbers are yet to be released.
Oh darn. I guess I need to have my glasses checked Thanks anyways!

I can't quite work out why SkyBet have Gundogan at 5/1 to join Arsenal in January while the nearest clubs in the betting are United and City at 20/1 and Chelsea at 28/1. . . I know that bookies often mess around with odds based on very little credible information but why do they have them so short? Suddenly because Arsenal sign Ozil virtually unopposed on deadline day they become front-runners for every major piece of world class talent in Europe looking for a move?. . . Load of shite.

PTZ AUTO EZ Fully Automated Tablet Disintegration Testing
The fully automated PTZ AUTO EZ instruments are available as 1, 2, 3 or 4 station models. The instruments are automatically detect the individual disintegration times of tablets and other solid dosage forms. Each automated disintegration basket can be operated independently. They are equipped in full compliance with the USP[701/2040] and EP[2.9.1/126.96.36.199] pharmacopoeia requirements.
Operating Mode
A large LCD screen and an alpha-numerical keyboard are used to edit product and test information, such as the target disintegration time for each station and the bath and media temperatures. Up to 16 different testing methods can be filed in the instrument's memory.
The instruments are supplied with a complete PT-MKT electronic disintegration test basket for each testing position. Each basket is used to test six samples and includes six glass tubes and six disks. For larger samples of up to 30mm diameter we offer the PT-MKT33 basket ("B"-type according to USP [2040] and EP [188.8.131.52]). This basket is used to test three samples and is equipped with three tubes and disks only.
To enable the automated detection of the final disintegration time of each individual sample, the basket bottom sieves are split. A small metal ring is injected into the disks during manufacturing. This ring closes a contact between the two sieve halves once the sample has disintegrated. Each disk can be used in any of the testing positions. There is no need to place them always into the same tube or even basket. There is also no need to use different designs or tools to test different tablet shapes. The complete basket designs including sieve and disks are in compliance with the current USP and EP pharmacopoeias. The specific weight of the disks is kept in full compliance too.
Sustained Release Testing
At the end of a test run, each basket is completely raised out of the test media by the individual basket lifting system. This feature is particularly useful if sustained released products are tested, which may require a medium change during the test run.
MKT Baskets
The electronic disintegration baskets PT-MKT or PT-MKT33 are equipped with a temperature sensor to monitor the actual media temperature inside the glass beaker during operation. The disintegration time of each individual tablet within the basket is automatically detected. The total time is recorded and displayed. The printed report shows the individual disintegration time of each sample, minimum and maximum time, as well as mean value and standard deviation of all 6 or 3 samples.
The report includes the system information of bath and media temperature with no need of any external computer or software. Simply connect any suitable PCL printer to the parallel printer port of the PTZ AUTO EZ to receive your result report.
Heating System and Mechanical Features
The built-in heating system of the PTZ AUTO EZ instrument uses a silent circulation pump and a heater to pre-heat the outer water and keep the temperature within a tight tolerance. The actual bath temperature is displayed at all times and measured by an external movable temperature probe inside the water bath. The overheating protection system includes a pressure gauge to monitor the pump flow, a thermo switch and thermo fuse to cut the power supply in case of an electronical fault.
This secures automatic shutdown of the pump and heater in the event that no water flow is detected or the electronical control system fails. A built-in digital safety sensor placed at the end of the heating coil shuts down the heating when temperature exceeds +60˚ C max. 95˚ C at the heater.
Cleaning and Maintenance
For easy cleaning and maintenance, the Plexiglas water bath can be removed quickly. Fast tube couplings connect the tubing to the heating system. The digital controlled stroke mechanism is automatically adjusted to provide the USP / EP specified 30 strokes a minute to each station.
PTZ32 Software
The PTZ AUTO EZ is equipped with a serial RS-232 interface. The instrument can be connected to a PC and the PTZ32 software (21 CFR part 11 compliant) offers test methods, result filing, batch comparison and graphical information. Export functions to Excel and LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) are available as options.

Life is so unpredictable and averse to planning. There has been so much these past few months that has been unplanned. So much that I could never have accounted for and so much coming up that is out of my control. Things that will require decisions and wise counsel. Things that if i'm being honest are already decided should they come to fruition. That sounds cryptic and coded but honestly it's not. Life is at a crossroads. The intersection between the purgatory of college and the daunting world of adulthood. That place where you make the first decisions of what path your life is going to walk down. Right or left, neither path wrong, both just so different.
I feel very introspective and contemplative during this period in life. There is a song by Sleeping At Last that says "show me who I am and who I could be" and that is exactly how I feel about life right now. The prayer I fervently pray to the Lord. Jesus who am I? What story are you writing in my life? Why Lord would you give me this great gift, this biggest unexpected blessing only for me to be presented with my dream-a dream so completely incompatible with this blessing I never expected? Lord who will I be if I walk this road, this road I believe you've called me down?
Recently today it came to my attention that the Lord has been answering. He's given me wise, life affirming friends who remind me of his gracious truth. Friends who point me back to Jesus and back to surrender. I need to surrender these questions at the feet of Jesus. It sounds so easy but I have a death grip on the future. An incompatibility with surrender.
Most time's I want to make these blog posts nice and coherent and shiny. But other time's, time's like this, I want to simply process life. To document reality and reflect on the Lord. To ask the question "Jesus what're you doing here and through this?" To process the temporal life we've been given in words.
Tomorrow is a potentially big day. A day when questions will be answered and i'll be able to see if what i'm picturing the Lord weaving together is actually happening or if he's shaping my life to go a different direction. There are so many unknowns, but I've been so reaffirmed by friends that the Lord is up to something, even though that something looks a lot like tough decisions, honestly being caught between a rock and a hard place and choosing to follow God down that hard path.

|functions within functions?
|Thu, 01 Oct 1998 12:14:28 +0100
Hi, obviously it is not possible to define functions within functions directly, like: function a(x) function y = b(x) y = sin(x) end end However, as I found out, it can be done by evaluating strings (at runtime then, of course): function a(x) str = sprintf("function y = b(x); y = %e*sin(x); end;",x) eval(str); end or by means of writing into an external file which then contains all the necessary information: function a(x) handle = fopen("b.m","w"); fprintf(handle,"function y = b(x)\n y = %e*sin(x);\nend",x); fclose(handle); end Well, both solution do not work when a is called from another function, at least to a certain extent: First, when defining b by 'eval': function c(x) for i=1:3 # clear b; a(i); b(x) end end fails as long as I don't clear b (remove the comment and you'll see what happens). Second, b defined via file (by 'fprintf') takes some time until b is recognized the way it is defined. Just type octave:70> a(1);b(1) ans = 0.84147 octave:71> a(2);b(1) ans = 0.84147 octave:72> a(2);b(1) ans = 1.6829 The only difference between :71> and :72> is the amount of time that's gone. If you wait for a secon or so, you get :72>, if you invoke a(2);b(1) immediately after a(1);b(1) one gets :71>! You can (perhaps only) avoid this using: a(1);source("b.m");disp(b(1));a(2);source("b.m");disp(b(1)) Are there any concerns? Best regards, Ferdinand.

Influenza vaccination, pneumococcal vaccination and risk of acute myocardial infarction: matched case-control study
(Siriwardena, Gwini et al. 2010) Download
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown an association between acute myocardial infarction and preceding respiratory infection. Contradictory evidence exists on the influence of influenza vaccination and pneumococcal vaccination in preventing cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate the possible association of influenza vaccination and pneumococcal vaccination with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: We used a matched case-control design with data from the United Kingdom General Practice Research Database. Cases were patients who were at least 40 years of age at diagnosis of first acute myocardial infarction recorded from Nov.1, 2001, to May 31, 2007, and were matched for sex, general practice, age and calendar time (i.e., month corresponding to index date of acute myocardial infarction), with up to four controls each. Data were analyzed using conditional logistic regression, adjusted for vaccination target groups, cardiovascular risk factors, treatment medications and attendances at a general practice. RESULTS: We included 78 706 patients, of whom 16 012 were cases and 62 694 were matched controls. Influenza vaccination had been received in the previous year by 8472 cases (52.9%) and 32 081 controls (51.2%) and was associated with a 19% reduction in the rate of acute myocardial infarction (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-0.85). Early seasonal influenza vaccination was associated with a lower rate of acute myocardial infarction (adjusted OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.75-0.83) than vaccination after mid-November (adjusted OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79-0.97). Pneumococcal vaccination was not associated with a reduction in the rate of acute myocardial infarction (adjusted OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.91-1.02). INTERPRETATION: Influenza vaccination but not pneumococcal vaccination is associated with a reduced rate of first acute myocardial infarction. This association and the potential benefit of early seasonal vaccination need to be considered in future experimental studies.

Pneumococcal vaccination and risk of acute myocardial infarction and stroke in men
(Tseng, Slezak et al. 2010) Download
CONTEXT: Multiple studies have shown that preventing influenza by vaccination reduces the risk of vascular events. However, the effect of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine on vascular events remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between pneumococcal vaccination and risk of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke among men. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A prospective cohort study of Kaiser Permanente Northern and Southern California health plans with 84 170 participants aged 45 to 69 years from the California Men's Health Study who were recruited between January 2002 and December 2003, and followed up until December 31, 2007. The cohort was similar to the population of health plan members and men who responded to a general health survey in California on important demographic and clinical characteristics. Demographic and detailed lifestyle characteristics were collected from surveys. Vaccination records were obtained from the Kaiser Immunization Tracking System. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Incidence of acute MI and stroke during the follow-up period in men who had no history of such conditions. RESULTS: During follow-up, there were 1211 first MIs in 112,837 vaccinated person-years (10.73 per 1000 person-years) compared with 1494 first MI events in 246,170 unvaccinated person-years (6.07 per 1000 person-years). For stroke, there were 651 events in 122,821 vaccinated person-years (5.30 per 1000 person-years) compared with 483 events in 254,541 unvaccinated person-years (1.90 per 1000 person-years). With propensity score adjustment, we found no evidence for an association between pneumococcal vaccination and reduced risk of acute MI (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98-1.21) or stroke (adjusted HR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.00-1.31). An inverse association was also not found in men of different age and risk groups. The results appeared to be consistent, because using more specific International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes for the outcome definition did not change the estimations. CONCLUSION: Among a cohort of men aged 45 years or older, receipt of pneumococcal vaccine was not associated with subsequent reduced risk of acute MI and stroke.
Lipid emulsions - Guidelines on Parenteral Nutrition, Chapter 6
(Adolph, Heller et al. 2009) Download
The infusion of lipid emulsions allows a high energy supply, facilitates the prevention of high glucose infusion rates and is indispensable for the supply with essential fatty acids. The administration of lipid emulsions is recommended within < or =7 days after starting PN (parenteral nutrition) to avoid deficiency of essential fatty acids. Low-fat PN with a high glucose intake increases the risk of hyperglycaemia. In parenterally fed patients with a tendency to hyperglycaemia, an increase in the lipid-glucose ratio should be considered. In critically ill patients the glucose infusion should not exceed 50% of energy intake. The use of lipid emulsions with a low phospholipid/triglyceride ratio is recommended and should be provided with the usual PN to prevent depletion of essential fatty acids, lower the risk of hyperglycaemia, and prevent hepatic steatosis. Biologically active vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) should continuously be administered along with lipid emulsions to reduce lipid peroxidation. Parenteral lipids should provide about 25-40% of the parenteral non-protein energy supply. In certain situations (i.e. critically ill, respiratory insufficiency) a lipid intake of up to 50 or 60% of non-protein energy may be reasonable. The recommended daily dose for parenteral lipids in adults is 0.7-1.3 g triglycerides/kg body weight. Serum triglyceride concentrations should be monitored regularly with dosage reduction at levels >400 mg/dl (>4.6 mmol/l) and interruption of lipid infusion at levels >1000 mg/dl (>11.4 mmol/l). There is little evidence at this time that the choice of different available lipid emulsions affects clinical endpoints.
Water, electrolytes, vitamins and trace elements - Guidelines on Parenteral Nutrition, Chapter 7
(Biesalski, Bischoff et al. 2009) Download
A close cooperation between medical teams is necessary when calculating the fluid intake of parenterally fed patients. Fluids supplied parenterally, orally and enterally, other infusions, and additional fluid losses (e.g. diarrhea) must be considered. Targeted diagnostic monitoring (volume status) is required in patients with disturbed water or electrolyte balance. Fluid requirements of adults with normal hydration status is approximately 30-40 ml/kg body weight/d, but fluid needs usually increase during fever. Serum electrolyte concentrations should be determined prior to PN, and patients with normal fluid and electrolyte balance should receive intakes follwing standard recommendations with PN. Additional requirements should usually be administered via separate infusion pumps. Concentrated potassium (1 mval/ml) or 20% NaCl solutions should be infused via a central venous catheter. Electrolyte intake should be adjusted according to the results of regular laboratory analyses. Individual determination of electrolyte intake is required when electrolyte balance is initially altered (e.g. due to chronic diarrhea, recurring vomiting, renal insufficiency etc.). Vitamins and trace elements should be generally substituted in PN, unless there are contraindications. The supplementation of vitamins and trace elements is obligatory after a PN of >1 week. A standard dosage of vitamins and trace elements based on current dietary reference intakes for oral feeding is generally recommended unless certain clinical situations require other intakes.
Complications and monitoring - Guidelines on Parenteral Nutrition, Chapter 11
(Hartl, Jauch et al. 2009) Download
Compared to enteral or hypocaloric oral nutrition, the use of PN (parenteral nutrition) is not associated with increased mortality, overall frequency of complications, or longer length of hospital stay (LOS). The risk of PN complications (e.g. refeeding-syndrome, hyperglycaemia, bone demineralisation, catheter infections) can be minimised by carefully monitoring patients and the use of nutrition support teams particularly during long-term PN. Occuring complications are e.g. the refeeding-syndrome in patients suffering from severe malnutrition with the initiation of refeeding or metabolic, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycaemia, osteomalacia and osteoporosis, and hepatic complications including fatty liver, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cholestasis, cholecystitis, and cholelithiasis. Efficient monitoring in all types of PN can result in reduced PN-associated complications and reduced costs. Water and electrolyte balance, blood sugar, and cardiovascular function should regularly be monitored during PN. Regular checks of serum electrolytes and triglycerides as well as additional monitoring measures are necessary in patients with altered renal function, electrolyte-free substrate intake, lipid infusions, and in intensive care patients. The metabolic monitoring of patients under long-term PN should be carried out according to standardised procedures. Monitoring metabolic determinants of bone metabolism is particularly important in patients receiving long-term PN. Markers of intermediary, electrolyte and trace element metabolism require regular checks.
Amino acids - Guidelines on Parenteral Nutrition, Chapter 4
(Stein, Boehles et al. 2009) Download
Protein catabolism should be reduced and protein synthesis promoted with parenteral nutrion (PN). Amino acid (AA) solutions should always be infused with PN. Standard AA solutions are generally used, whereas specially adapted AA solutions may be required in certain conditions such as severe disorders of AA utilisation or in inborn errors of AA metabolism. An AA intake of 0.8 g/kg/day is generally recommended for adult patients with a normal metabolism, which may be increased to 1.2-1.5 g/kg/day, or to 2.0 or 2.5 g/kg/day in exceptional cases. Sufficient non-nitrogen energy sources should be added in order to assure adequate utilisation of AA. A nitrogen calorie ratio of 1:130 to 1:170 (g N/kcal) or 1:21 to 1:27 (g AA/kcal) is recommended under normal metabolic conditions. In critically ill patients glutamine should be administered parenterally if indicated in the form of peptides, for example 0.3-0.4 g glutamine dipeptide/kg body weight/day (=0.2-0.26 g glutamine/kg body weight/day). No recommendation can be made for glutamine supplementation in PN for patients with acute pancreatitis or after bone marrow transplantation (BMT), and in newborns. The application of arginine is currently not warranted as a supplement in PN in adults. N-acetyl AA are only of limited use as alternative AA sources. There is currently no indication for use of AA solutions with an increased content of glycine, branched-chain AAs (BCAA) and ornithine-alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) in all patients receiving PN. AA solutions with an increased proportion of BCAA are recommended in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy (III-IV).

But there's something differentyou're losing. Once a couple starts having sex, then they usually start to cut back on other tasks including going to dinner, free teenage dating apps out with friends, and going to events. Time spent together watching TV is more and more frequently staying home, and having sex. Rather than learning about each other, a primal need satisfying and local sluts to sleep or going home.
We all know that it undoubtedly works sometimes, but at what price? Speaks volumes, and to have manipulated somebody in a very hollow how to fuck local sluts in my area Bouchette Québec these types of Bouchette Québec online dating near me carry on a daily basis together. They are not men; they are pussies.
This is the local sluts at which I should advise you to not devote the temptation to be a clicker that is continuous. Ifyou're serious about finding Mr. Right, you should focus your search, and only spend time on what is probably to get you the resultsyou're looking for.

What that means is as you get and calibrate feedback, you can change your communication if you aren't receiving the desired and planned outcome.
These examples may be intense, but just to point out the incredible variation. And these predilections that are male that are exceptional are easier easy to track down via the net.

And when it comes to physical characteristics, let us say the obvious and say that since each of us exists by virtue of reproduction, the characteristics we have today were mostly probably found attractive by at least one male somewhere.
Visualize the dialogue with the girl as defense and offense. One of you will always be on one side or the other. You wish to be as much as possible to save your valuable time and get dates that are real. Then as soon as you get about the date, then you become the world's best listener.

From: Organizational participatory research: a systematic mixed studies review exposing its extra benefits and the key factors associated with them
|Type of extra benefit (number of studies)
|Example (text excerpts from included studies)
|Leadership (21)
For some, the process led to a greater confidence ("We do not sit back so much anymore. We speak up") and more assertiveness ("People were starting to play with in a little bit -- try it out and feel that they had the backing"). This led to:
Greater clarity in what everyone needs, "I need time to think about that." "I need to have it written down to understand it," "I need to see a picture" … "I need attention." Which helps me very much; then it is easier for me to say, "This is what I need. This is what's helpful."
One person noted that the group on occasion may not have listened enough to one member who would have preferred a different approach, and it might have helped to inquire about "commitment" or take a "look at alternatives." [51]
|General workforce development (41)
|a Co-researchers felt able to share their ideas, the gaps in their knowledge, and recognized the importance of time for thinking and reflecting on nursing research and practice [52]
|b By allowing the client group to fully participate in the change process, new skills have been developed. These skills include team problem identification, decision making, cooperation, and in some cases leadership. With the collaborative climate being reinforced, members of the client group appear willing to take more risks in making suggestions, confronting issues, and encouraging and supporting others [53].
|c Each of the co-researchers demonstrated ongoing positive and painful enlightenment through their own personal development and participation in the action learning sets [54].
|d The members of the core group noticed a shift in their own way of thinking about patients, and in the actions of the expert patients. [55]
|e … by having the opportunity to share experiences from practice, the FARG members became more familiar with the contributions their colleagues, from other occupational groups, made to resident care. For example, an enrolled nurse member reported that as a consequence of her participation in the group she had "a bit more of an understanding about what each [staff] area gets up to [and] what challenges they have." Similarly, another enrolled nurse member reflected on her new understanding of the different contributions that other staff members make to the care of residents when she noted, "It's certainly opened my eyes a lot." [52]
|Group benefits (27)
|The single most important indicator of full achievement of outcomes was that the work group members developed mutually supportive and trusting relationships between themselves and with the facilitator. [56]
|Data from the participants indicated an overall positive response towards action research methodology. Positive aspects of participation in the CBAR as identified by the nurses were: A feeling of teamwork; Recognition of the value of participant's knowledge and experiences [57].
|Towards the end of the study the health professionals from both practices reported being much clearer about the nature of prediabetes and the associated risks, and placed more importance on acting systematically as a team to address the problem. [58]
|Having more meetings in itself was not enough. The nature of the communication and type of interaction was also important. People engaged with each other in a manner that was respectful, appreciative, built trust and included social bonding. Doctors and nurses often embarked on real relationships for the first time [59]
|Broad systemic developments or changes (29)
|The DSU nurses were able to focus activities directly related to the needs of the patients undergoing complex day surgery. Most significantly, the team members took responsibility for decisions made regarding changes and the outcomes. As a result of the opportunity to communicate openly with others, in addition to the team's ability to think and discuss their work critically, their practice became more effective, safer for patients and patient centered. These changes were apparent to others, and provided a model of enablement that is now used elsewhere in the organization [60].
|The broad impact of the program has been confirmed by trainees from other Middle Eastern countries, who stated that they would now have the knowledge and skills to help children in pain when they returned to their home hospitals [61].
|The next step for these NCs is to further develop the research aspects of their roles. For some, this may mean handing over of part of clinical and consultancy work to create "space" for effective research. For others, it means doing other aspects of the role differently to make research happen. Their influence continues to extend beyond the organization to influence national and international healthcare agendas [62].
|There was also evidence at both teams that the changes that had occurred were part of a process that would not now easily be reversed. On the contrary, they were part of an ongoing process that now had increased momentum within the teams and their wider organizations [63].
|University partners' capacity (6)
|With regard to my own empowerment I found the experience of collaboration, reflection and discussion with other participants enhanced my self-awareness, increased my appreciation for and understanding of other participants and brought me marginally closer to being able to achieve the "interpersonal elegance" for which I was striving [64].
|Finally, in terms of my own work, I have just been invited to engage in a two–year practice development partnership with a new mental health occupational therapy Trust. The plan we have negotiated is to implement a similar process as used within this study across a much larger service. This will provide an opportunity to further test and refine the approaches and conceptual frameworks developed during this inquiry [65].

Education has a large and increasing impact on health in America. This paper examines one reason why. Education gives individuals the ability to override the default American lifestyle. The default lifestyle has three elements: displacing human energy with mechanical energy, displacing household food production with industrial food production, and displacing health maintenance with medical dependency. Too little physical activity and too much food produce imperceptibly accumulating pathologies.
Researchers have documented widening educational gradients in mortality in the United States since the 1970s. While smoking has been proposed as a key explanation for this trend, no prior study has quantified the contribution of smoking to increasing education gaps in longevity.
Education is a fundamental cause of social inequalities in health because it influences the distribution of resources, including money, knowledge, power, prestige, and beneficial social connections, that can be used in situ to influence health. Recent studies have highlighted early-life cognition as commonly indicating the propensity for educational attainment and determining health and age of mortality. Health behaviors provide a plausible mechanism linking both education and cognition to later-life health and mortality.
In this study we consider the health implications of the sequencing of a college degree vis-à-vis familial roles during the transition to adulthood. We hypothesize that people who earned a college degree before assuming familial roles will have better health than people who earned a college degree afterwards. To test this hypothesis, we focus on obesity and use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health.
Several recent spatial analyses conclude the strong positive association typically found between neighborhood concentrated disadvantage and crime in cross-sectional studies significantly differs across neighborhoods. It is possible this spatial variation is due to within-neighborhood dynamics of continuity and change, as suggested by ecological theories of neighborhood crime.
Age discrimination is pervasive in the United States, yet little is known about the social contexts in which it occurs. Older persons spend much of their time in their neighborhoods, where a density of other older persons may protect against age discrimination. Extending group density theory to age, we analyze data from 1,561 older adults from the second wave of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States, using neighborhood-level data from the 2010 U.S. census.
Drawing on theories of social norms, we study the relative influence of female and male students using a year-long, network-based field experiment of an anti-harassment intervention program in a high school. A randomly selected subset of highly connected students participated in the intervention. We test whether these highly connected females and males influenced other students equally when students and teachers considered the problem of "drama"—peer conflict and harassment—to be associated with girls more than with boys.
Numerous studies document that higher education is associated with a reduced likelihood of depression. The protective effects of higher education, however, are known to vary across population subgroups. This study tests competing theories for who is likely to obtain a greater protective benefit from a college degree against depression through an analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and recently developed methods for analyzing heterogeneous treatment effects involving the use of propensity scores.
Having more physical limitations predicts greater depressive symptoms. However, relatively few studies examine self-conceptions as potential explanations for this association. Using ordinary least squares regression on panel data collected in Miami-Dade County, Florida (2001 and 2004, N = 1,362), we examine the effect of functional limitations on five dimensions of the self: self-esteem, mastery, mattering, introspection, and emotional reliance.
On the basis of theories of cultural reproduction and rational choice, we examine whether access to study-abroad opportunities is socially selective and whether this pattern changed during educational expansion. We test our hypotheses for Germany by combining student survey data and administrative data on higher education entry rates. We find that studying abroad was socially selective during the entire observation period. Selectivity increased between 1991 and 2003 and hardly changed thereafter. Unexpectedly, the expansion of higher education does not explain this development.

Scrappy was born with black fur... but now is slowly morphing into a white kitty
Meet Scrappy! This 17 year old kitty has some extraordinary markings!
Via Scrappy's Facebook page: "Scrappy was born in 1997 as a black cat and only a few years ago he started turning white (maybe vitiligo) and has ended up with this extraordinary pattern."
Vitiligo, when it comes to cats, is a very rare condition where the loss of color, usually white, will spot and "snowflake" through the cat's coat. The older that cat gets, the more blotches of white will take over, until sometimes the cat will become completely white.
It is most noticable in black cats, as seen in these beautiful pictures.
But at 17 years old, Scrappy is very healthy for his age according to the vet, and the loss of color has nothing to do with his health.
Scrappy started the color change when the humans noticed a white patch on his belly.
And over the years, more patches of white spread through out his black fur.
I don't know about you, but I think this condition makes Scrappy look stunning!
What a handsome kitty. See him playing in this video below.

"Campus visits are particularly important in helping prospective students get the 'feel' of campus and our culture. Pandemic or not, we've been wanting to expand our reach to give students from all backgrounds a chance to see what's so great about Wellesley and to get to know our community. Adding in the ability to virtually explore prominent buildings on campus and to interact with the students, staff, and faculty in that environment is an essential component of our goal to make the college more accessible. We'll be expanding our work with our partner, Wisr, to build out this new digital infrastructure."
Jessica Ricker
Director of Admission, Wellesley College
College recruitment has forever changed. As higher education continues to adjust to current online constraints and redefine "normal," prospective students are looking for schools that have shifted quickly and can offer one-of-a-kind online admissions recruitment experiences. And while the summer usually marks a time for college tours and in-person programming, rising high school juniors and seniors (and their parents) are actively searching for ways to engage with your institution online, right now.
At Wisr, we're helping schools pivot traditional on-campus summer recruitment and creating dynamic digital campus experiences. Converting programming like the campus tour, student and faculty connections, and introducing students to campus culture, to an easily managed virtual welcome center helps your team prioritize accessible recruiting touchpoints and digital content beyond this admissions season.
Increase Accessibility with a Virtual Welcome Center

Real-Time Reliable Engagement Metrics
Your team will have access to customizable dashboards with a real-time engagement index to see which students are most plugged into your campus community and which may need additional outreach.

As debt negotiations remain at an impasse, the White House Budget chief warns that the consequences would be "dire" if the U.S. Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling. Also on the radar for the U.S. Congress is the possibility of an investigation into whether the alleged hacking scandal surrounding Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper business extends to his holdings in the U.S.
White House budget director Jack Lew said on Sunday (July 17) there was still time to clinch a major deficit reduction deal and he was confident that congressional leaders know a U.S. debt default is not an option.
With time running short, President Barack Obama and lawmakers were struggling for ways to lift the debt ceiling and reduce the deficit as an Aug. 2 deadline to prevent a default draws dangerously close.
"If we don't raise the debt ceiling, we won't be able to pay our bills in August," said Lew. "And that has dire consequences."
Lew, appearing on NBC's Sunday morning talk show "Meet the Press" to push Obama's case for a sweeping deficit reduction deal along with the debt ceiling increase, said talks require leadership on "both sides."
"There's still time to get something big done," said Lew. "The president has made it clear he wants to do something substantial."
Obama's call for a $4 trillion deficit reduction deal snagged when Republicans in Congress rejected his demand that tax increases on the wealthy be part of the plan.
Congress must raise the $14.3 trillion limit on U.S. borrowing by Aug. 2 or the government will run out of money to pay its bills, causing turmoil in global financial markets and potentially forcing the United States into another recession.
Ratings agencies Moody's and Standard & Poor's have signaled they may cut the gold-plated U.S. credit rating if the borrowing limit is not raised and deficit-reduction measures are not laid out.
Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers couldn't even agree on whether Congress should raise an investigation into the hacking scandal surrounding Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper business News International, the British unit of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
When asked to weigh in on the arrest of Rebekah Brooks, former head of News International, the British unit of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., Democratic Senator Dick Durbin called for both Congress and the FBI to investigate.
"What's going on in England is startling -- to think the extent they went to to break the law to try to report a story," said Durbin.
But Republican Senator Jim DeMint disagreed, saying Congress needs to focus on the debt reduction plan.
"We need to handle our own business for a change," said DeMint.
Rebekah Brooks quit as head of News International on Friday (July 15), but has denied she knew of the alleged hacking of thousands of phones. She was arrested on Sunday (July 17).
Politicians from Australia to the United States are demanding to know if similar abuses occurred elsewhere in Murdoch's global media business.

Providing drinking water in schools is not enough. Paediatricians say that children, especially girls, avoid drinking water due to lack of clean and adequate toilet facilities in the schools. This often leads to complaints of mild dehydration and in many cases the urinary infection. Kerala Government takes an initiative to keep school children hydrated throughout the day. Introduces a special interval called 'Water Bell'
Water Bell will be given to the students every day at a fixed time, the bell will ring thrice a day to keep hydrated. As per the scheme, the water bell will ring thrice a day. The first bell will ring at around 10:35 am, followed by the second bell at noon and the third bell at 2 pm.
Inspired by the innovative idea of the Kerala Government, Umar Arabic Public School in Kurnool also started this 'Water Bell' method and the school principal started it. This action was taken to avoid sickness among children due to dehydration from not consuming drinking water.
