Repost from Anna Ubarra
Recalling Marco's Accident
If Marco is in so much pain and if there was no assurance of a successful surgery, then wouldn't it be more merciful to put him to sleep? Thankfully, the vet managed hubby's expectations by explaining how slow the recovery period is for the kinds of injuries Marco suffered. Given time, Marco might just be able to recover well enough for him to have a decent quality of life.Uttering a prayer, we decided that Marco deserved a chance, however vague that was. Although the whole matter was a very expensive proposition (i had never spent anywhere near that much money for my own health), nevertheless, we reasoned that money can be earned, a life cannot.
Miraculously, Marco eventually improved enough for him to undergo surgery. Dr. Nielsen Donato performed the surgery. I witnessed only the tail-end of it, with Marco's jaw being sutured already. When they wheeled him out of surgery, he was still asleep. i was told that i needn't stay yet, since it would take another two hours before he wakes up. I dared not leave him because i didn't want him to wake up without a friendly face to greet him. Twenty minutes later, Marco began to stir, and, after opening his eyes to find me, he rested his head on my palm and went back to sleep.
About a week after his surgery, Marco was cleared for discharge to further recuperate at home. Although it was a very difficult job taking care of Marco (he had half a dozen medicines to take, had to have his temperature taken every day, force-fed with a syringe, plus his bed liner had to be changed regularly as he could not stand up yet to poop and pee. In addition, he needed cleaning every time he eats and takes medicine), we thought he would be less stressed if he was surrounded by the comforting sights and sounds of home (not the least of which are his sons, who lovingly groomed him and slept beside him throughout his recovery period at home), so i took several days off work to take care of Marco.
We had to take Marco back to the hospital after a week as he looked like he had taken a turn for the worse. His fur was falling in clumps and his paws were swollen. He was also bleeding in places because as he tried to remove the fur from his body (mostly his paws), the wires on his jaw would wound him. As if he wasn't miserable looking enough in the first place with his bony body (he had lost half his weight during confinement), shrivelled dry nose, chinky eyes (he could barely open them as they were always crusted with discharge despite diligent cleaning), he had to lose his fur and look disfigured with his swollen paws!
The vet told us that Marco suffered from allergic reaction to one of his medicines and recommended that he be confined again. It took another week before Marco was cleared once more to recuperate at home. We called him "kitty burrito" as we had to wrap him in a blanket so he wouldn't struggle so much while taking his medicines. We also teased that he was a new cat breed - a chinese sphinx - because he was hairless and chinky-eyed. He reeked of medicines, and Vanna was constantly hissing at him because she didn't recognize his scent.
In time, Marco began to tentatively use his fractured paws and to eat kibbles. We were so heartened to see that he was putting every effort to get well. Every time we would go back for follow up consultation, Marco showed steady improvement, gaining back the pounds he lost, growing back the fur that fell and recapturing the vitality he had prior to his accident.
After several follow up consults, it was such a relief to hear Dr. Nielsen declare that Marco need only to finish his remaining medicines and that was his last consultation. Marco's recovery had begun!
Dr. Nielsen is such a blessing to us. This brilliant vet had not only been able to successfully repair Marco's jaw, he also gave us a discount for the surgery, waived his consultation fees, and looked genuinely happy when Marco took his few tentative steps with his paws. He had fondly called Marco "Evil Knievel" for his stunt and "Miracle Cat" for having survived his accident.
Dr. Maurice is also very dear to us. Aside from having rushed Marco to the hospital, it was Dr. Maurice who had taken the risk to give us hope that Marco might just be able to recover from his accident. He also asked his fellow vet, Dr. Dan, to visit Marco at home in the middle of the night when hubby thought he was at the brink of death. (Well, apparently, it was playacting on Marco's part to hoard more attention - Marco started acting normal the moment we let Dr. Dan see him. What a pretender!)
The other vets, nurses and handlers at VIP all worked so diligently to ensure that Marco would recover, but there was one special nurse that Marco favored most of all. Her name is Clarisse. Clarisse is a registered nurse who used to work for a tertiary hospital for humans. Like her colleagues at VIP, she is a genuine animal lover who sees her work not only as a means to earn a living but an advocacy and a calling. For instance, when Marco unfortunately had to spend his first birthday at the hospital, Clarisse had made (with latex gloves) makeshift balloons with "happy birthday" greetings and placed them on Marco's cage. During his recovery period, she also let Marco out of his cage a few minutes each day so that he could have some exercise. Clarisse also made the extra effort to see that Marco remained interested in food to aid his recovery - even bringing him Ensure and sometimes, sharing her chicken or fish meal with Marco whenever he refuses to eat his AD Hill's Prescription food. Even after Marco's treatment officially ended, Clarisse would visit Marco at home to see how he was doing. She calls him "bestfriend marco".
Today, Marco is such a beautiful, sweet, happy, healthy cat. Unless one looks closely at his mouth, one would never guess that he ever encountered such a life-threatening accident. Looking at him, no one could doubt that spending the time, money and other resources we had to give him a chance to survive had been worth it!
Oh no, what a horrible thing to have happened. I am so tore up reading this. I was so sorry to hear about the heart-to-heart talk. I'm guessing you did what you thought best for him. Dern, life has so many heartbreaking events. I'm so sorry and wish things could have been different.
Sorry I posted before the rest of your post showed up.
I'm so sorry he had to suffer as long as he did, but so happy it turned out he recovered. What a miracle love and medicine made..
What a miraculous recovery! Thank you for sharing your story of Marco.
A happy ending...
thanks for sharing your story Anna, Marco was a brave cat, who lost one of his 9 lives, but was nursed back to health by caring vets, nurses , yourself and your husband, and Marco's own little family, Marco is a beautiful cat with a happy long life in front of him, xwendy kx
Thank you for sharing that story. It was very heartbreaking to hear he had to go through this and a long process of healing but it was so touching to know the many people that wanted to help Marco. It is also something we can learn from, never give up and the power of love our beloved pets can show.
thank you for this, it made me cry but glad you didn't give up on him. give him a headbutt from stripes & me.
thank you all for the post>>>> you were all right just never ever give up..... im too was so touched by the story of marco that i think i must share to other (and this was the perfect group)..... anna was right money was nothing compared to the life of your beloved family member.... living in a third world country i was amazed that there were these people who were willing to help and save a life of a dying cat.... from the efforts of the guard on duty, the nurse and vets and his owners truly no thing was impossible and im sure that's the reason why marco hold on in his life.... he realized he was not alone in his battle to survive....

Thanks and Godbless
This was a very touching story Anna, so glad that Marco has made a full recovery and that now you would have never known what happened. So sorry he had to suffer in the beginning but looking at his picture now he looks very happy. Long live Marco!!!!

- Stories from Philanthropists
- For the Advisor Community
- On Being an Informed Philanthropist
- Meet Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd.
"I'll admit it...my sister and I grew up fairly privileged.  My grandparents had set up a family trust and each of us had our own small trust fund. My parents tried to teach us not to take what we had for granted...they taught us many things growing up, some of them consciously, others less so…My love of fly fishing I got directly from my dad. But we never talked about the charitable giving my parents did or what organizations my grandparents gave to and why. So when we became parents, my wife and I wanted to make sure we instilled the right values in our kids and we thought philanthropy would be one way to do that--and it should be so easy to talk about. But there I was a third generation philanthropist with no really knowledge about how to be a good one or frankly do really meaningful philanthropy, instead of just writing checks to organizations. Some role model for the kids, right?
So at one point when the kids were in grade school, Jodi and I decided we wanted them to know more about their grandparents and great grandparents. What they did and why that was important. I wanted them to know that philanthropy was really a family affair.
"Jodi and I decided to make philanthropy a family affair."
I guess it was Jodi who first came up with the idea of talking to someone. She said, "When we're sick we go to the doctor, when we file our taxes we use an accountant. Why don't we go outside the family and find someone to help us be better at philanthropy?"
Of course she was playing right into who I am...I'm a numbers guy. I believe in having as much information about what I'm doing or decisions I'm making as possible.  Philanthropy isn't really any different, I figured. If you really want your contributions to be effective you better know the 'who', 'what', 'why' and 'where'. Besides, with everything else that was going on, I just didn't have time to do the kind of due diligence I normally like to do before committing money to a cause. Yes I know, there's a cost attached to hiring professional help but I figure good philanthropy is a lot like good business.  When you want something, and want it done right, you hire the best person you can find to help you make sure it gets done.
At the suggestion of our advisor we set up a Donor Advised Fund in each of the kids' names. They each had a certain amount of the money in the fund they could use for their own philanthropy. They got to choose the issues they wanted to be involved with and choose the organizations to give to. But we wanted to know why they selected those organizations. How they got their information and what they intended to fund at the organization; a program, operations, advocacy? In the beginning they had absolutely no idea what we were talking about, but this was a family learning experience and so we all did the same things and talked about it. As the kids got older we increased the amount in each DAF. And my brilliant, wonderful children? Well they've stayed involved with many of those organizations. My son is on the Junior Board of one organization. As Jodi said, we're not only teaching the kids about giving, but how to handle money as well, and the kind of good it can do when it's used correctly."

You always need to be concerned about retaining your best staff. You want to do what's best for the company and your staff to keep everyone happy, productive, and energized. I usually start with doughnuts and coffee, but that will only go so far. There comes a point at which one of your developers will come and ask you what the company policy is on paying for staff certification. Or, if you're organized, you're already considering paying for certification as part of your overall management strategy.
But whether to pay for staff certification is a question that isn't easily answered. Is bankrolling certification key to keeping talented developers on staff? Or are you just financing their move up with another company?
The value of certification
Certification has a certain value that may be measured differently depending on whether you're the employee or the employer. Certification has a financial value that is measured in real dollars, opportunity cost, and perceived value of the employee in question.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that, in most cases, certification enhances and raises the value of the employee. Conversely, it also raises the value of your organization as a whole in terms of its human capital.
Your staff situation
Consider your existing staff situation as part of the certification equation. Your staff situation is a significant variable when you're considering whether to bankroll staff certifications. You may be short-staffed, you may be overstaffed (unlikely in the current economy), your staff may be underqualified, you may be trying to move staff up the ladder in skill set, or you may be trying to improve the overall professionalism of your environment.
The morale of your environment and the prevailing staff retention conditions are key components. Your decision to pay or not to pay for certification will most likely have consequences and side effects.
Reasons against paying
There are a number of reasons against paying for staff certification. Some are more valid than others, but it all depends on your environment and particular circumstances.
- You may face the double whammy of paying for certification and then budgeting for a raise.
- Employees' self-perceived value is higher, so they'll leave for greener pastures.
- If you certify one person, then everyone else will want to be certified.
- Certification doesn't directly affect bottom-line performance.
- The organizational perception/belief is that experience is more valuable than certification.
- Funds aren't available to pay for certification.
- The company is laying people off, so how can it justify paying for certification?
I'm not saying the above reasons are necessarily valid. For some, though, they do represent legitimate management concerns.
Reasons for bankrolling certification
A branch of management theory postulates that investing in your people is the best investment you can make. There are a lot of good reasons why you should consider bankrolling your staff's certification:
- It's cheaper to certify existing staff than to hire certified staff as consultants.
- Professionalism and workplace methodologies improve.
- The value of human capital is enhanced.
- Employee morale, employee acquisition, and employee retention improve.
- A greater skill set may lead to new client engagements based on having certifications on staff.
The fear that the staff member will move on for more money is the real kicker on the list. In my experience, most employees would prefer to work in an environment where employee development and training are encouraged and supported. It demonstrates that the company is willing to invest in its people.
Determine whether to pay for staff certification
How do you quantify or measure what makes sense for your environment? Start by answering these questions:
- Will the employee pay for certification on his/her own without the company's involvement?
- Do your clients/prospects look for staff certifications?
- Do you have employee acquisition problems?
- Do you have employee retention problems?
- Do you have negative staff morale issues?
- Does your competition pay for certification?
- Is there a high, perceived value for the certification?
If you answered yes to four or more items in the above list, it's a strong indication that it makes sense to pay for staff certification.
Still, the greatest fear of most managers is that the employees will leave after receiving their certification. However, there's a pretty straightforward way of preventing that. As part of your policy on paying for staff certification, just be sure to develop a legal agreement that requires the employee to work for your company for at least "x" number of months after certification is completed. Agreements can always be broken, but, at the very least, it'll put your cards on the table.
If it makes sense to pay for staff certification, then by all means do it. Ambitious staff will probably go out and get it done either way. If you're not the one paying for it, employees may be less inclined to be loyal and somewhat more likely to leave for greener pastures.
What do you think?
Does your company pay for employee certifications? If so, how do you decide who gets certified and who doesn't? If not, do you think your company should start?

MIX Digital Conference
After the success of the last three MIX conferences, MIX 2017 returns to Bath Spa University's Newton Park Campus.Read more
Bath Spa University Research Centre in Creative Writing (BSURCCW) is a prospering centre of excellence, representing perhaps the strongest academic teams of creative writers in the country.
It will host dynamic programmes of lectures and public readings, featuring a wide range of distinguished writers, and enabling audiences to encounter new developments. The centre will also host conferences and symposia at the forefront of literary and research developments in the UK and overseas.
We believe that writing is a powerful instrument for discovering new ideas; that the development of writing skills is a vocational commitment, and that all writers benefit from sharing work in progress.
The centre will provide a forum in which creative writers of all genres can share and learn from each other's research, and use that knowledge in their teaching. We also aim to support members in their research by providing opportunities for collaboration, discussion and exchange of ideas both within and beyond their specialist form or genre. The centre advances the university's educational objectives in critical thinking and effective expression; it is a living archive that seeks to maintain and cherish the spirit of writing.
After the success of the last three MIX conferences, MIX 2017 returns to Bath Spa University's Newton Park Campus.Read more
Generously donated by Michael Turner, the Albion Press will form a point of active and creative exchange between text, image and making for staff and students.
Each of the university's three strategic research themes will find a natural home in the new centre. Practitioners of creative writing are necessarily engaged with the creative and cultural industries in numerous ways; already there are research projects and funding bids in progress with the specific aim of bringing academic and industry perspectives together. Many of the writers who will belong to the centre are producing work that is transnational in various ways, and there is strong interest in transcultural dialogues and collaborations. Bath Spa University has perhaps the strongest research cluster in environmental creative writing in the country, with special and nationally-renowned strength in 'the new nature writing,' environmental speculative fiction, and environmental writing for young people.

Women 2.0 profiles women angel investors in our weekly "This Is What An Angel Investor Looks Like" series. By Angela Giacchetti (Associate, Pipeline Fellowship)
Meet Pipeline Fellowship alumna,Golden Seeds</> managing director and angel investor Kellee Joost. Kellee was a member of the second New York class of the Pipeline Fellowship, which trains women philanthropists to become angel investors. The Pipeline Fellowship aims to diversify the investor pool and connect women social entrepreneurs with women investors who get them.
Meet Angel Investor Kellee Joost
How and why did you decide to become an angel investor? "I met a woman entrepreneur in a South African township who started a business and it was helping her overcome deplorable conditions to improve her life and the lives of many others—I thought this is a notion worthy of investment."
What investments have you made?
Company: OneDay Response Founder(s): Tricia Compas-Markman*
Company: Bespoke Global Founder(s): Gwen Carlton*, Pippa McArdle**
Company: CraveBox Founder(s): Aliza Freud*, Kitty Kolding*
*Women founders!
One piece of advice to an angel-in-training? "Pay more attention to the founders than the business idea when evaluating an investment. Investing is a long term relationship so you'll want to like them, work with them, and feel confident that they can execute."
One piece of advice to entrepreneurs looking for capital? "Assuming you are already leveraging your network and leaving no potential investment stone unturned, make sure you know your financial model forward, backward, sideways, and for every imaginable and unimaginable scenario."
What do you look for in an entrepreneur or founding team? "I want to see a relentless pursuit of the end goal while exhibiting flexibility and creativity to overcome the hurdles along the way."
What are your investment deal-breakers? "50/50 co-founder agreements. Someone has to have the final say and who that will be must be determined at the beginning, and not when the company is at a crossroad."
What types of companies do you look to invest in? "When I first started, I thought I would focus on a particular niche, but so far I've been drawn to very different kinds of companies. What they have in common is strong, thoughtful women at the helm."
How has your background played a role in your angel investing? "I've walked miles in the entrepreneur's shoes—from the startup to the exit, and with the peaks and valleys in between. So, I have a good idea of what the entrepreneur might need, even before she knows she needs it."
Favorite quote? "Life is an adventure to be lived, not a problem to be solved." — Unknown
Random fact? "Anchovies on pizza? Absolutely."

What can I say? I'd had a few beers, started to think about how much I love the CCP.
We've all been there.
When I went in for hernia surgery, it took an abnormally large quanitity of sedatives to make me stop ranting about how the communists enabled the American civil rights movements of the 60s.
Head surgeon was a very conservative Catholic. There's been a strange object floating in my scrotum ever since and it doesn't feel like a third testicle.

Flexible screens may still be in the early stages of development, but that hasn't stopped researchers pushing forward with new functionality. The latest breakthrough has been made by the Arizona State University Flexible Display Center (ASUFDC) where they have managed to add touchscreen capabilities to their flexible displays.{ad}
As you can see in the video above the display is capable of receiving touch input, but does not register further touch when handled and flexed. ASUFDC managed to get around the problem of false input through the use of a new technique for registering touch on the display.
The more typical touchscreens used in devices like the Nintendo DS look for a contact between two layers in the screen therefore making it an unsuitable solution for a flexible display. Other touchscreen solutions, such as that used for the iPhone, are unsuitable because they will break if flexed. The ASUFDC solution relies on magnetic input instead, so no input is registered just from flexing it.
The display they use is similar to that found in the Kindle and was developed by E Ink and Epson. There is no word yet on when this will make it into a consumer product, but at least we know it is now possible and could drastically change the way some gadgets look in future.

Bandwidth is simply the rate at which data can be transmitted from the internet provider to your device. The higher your bandwidth the more usage you can have at the same time. For example, if you are currently streaming EPSN on Sling TV through your Roku Device while your roommate is streaming HBO on the XBOX One through their Sling TV account you may notice a slight lag in streaming. The reason being, more bandwidth is being used to provide both of you with video content.

Bettercare publishes an innovative series of distance-learning books for healthcare professionals, developed by the Perinatal Education Trust, Eduhealthcare, the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation, the Desmond Tutu TB Centre, the Perinatal Mental Health Project, the Academic Unit for Infection Prevention and Control at Stellenbosch University, and the Infection Control Africa Network, with contributions from numerous experts.
Our aim is to provide appropriate, affordable and up-to-date learning material for healthcare workers in under-resourced areas, so that they can learn, practise and deliver excellent patient care.
The Bettercare series is built on the experience of the Perinatal Education Programme (PEP), which has provided learning opportunities to over 100 000 nurses and doctors in South Africa since 1992. Many of the educational methods developed by PEP are now being adopted by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Continuing education for health workers traditionally consists of courses and workshops run by formal trainers at large central hospitals. These courses are expensive to attend, often far away from the health workers' families and places of work, and the content frequently fails to address the biggest healthcare challenges of poor, rural communities.
To help solve these many problems, a self-help decentralised learning method has been developed which addresses the needs of professional healthcare workers, especially those in under-resourced regions.
Adult HIV covers an introduction to HIV infection, management of HIV-infected adults at primary-care clinics, preparing patients for antiretroviral (ARV) treatment, ARV drugs, starting and maintaining patients on ARV treatment and an approach to opportunistic infections. Adult HIV was developed by doctors and nurses with wide experience in the care of adults with HIV, in collaboration with the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation.
Breast Care was written for nurses and doctors who manage the health needs of women from childhood to old age. It covers breast examination, the assessment and management of benign breast conditions, the diagnosis and management of breast cancer and palliative care.
Child Healthcare addresses all the common and important clinical problems in children, including immunisation, history and examination, growth and nutrition, acute and chronic infections, parasites, skin conditions, and difficulties in the home and society. Child Healthcare was developed for use in primary-care settings.
Childhood HIV enables nurses and doctors to care for children with HIV infection. It addresses an introduction to HIV in children, the clinical and immunological diagnosis of HIV infection, management of children with and without antiretroviral treatment, antiretroviral drugs, opportunistic infections and end-of-life care.
Childhood TB was written to enable healthcare workers to learn about the primary care of children with tuberculosis. The book covers an introduction to TB infection, and the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and prevention of tuberculosis in children and HIV/TB co-infection. Childhood TB was developed in collaboration with the Desmond Tutu TB Centre.
Congenital Disorders was written for healthcare workers who look after individuals with congenital disorders, their families, and women who are at increased risk of giving birth to an infant with a congenital disorder. Special attention is given to modes of inheritance, medical genetic counselling, and congenital disorders due to chromosomal abnormalities, single gene defects, teratogens and multifactorial inheritance. This book is being used in the Genetics Education Programme, which trains healthcare workers in genetic counselling in South Africa.
Ebola Prevention and Control was written for all healthcare workers and administrators managing, preventing and controlling viral haemorrhagic diseases. Chapters cover virology and epidemiology, patient management, protection of healthcare workers, support services and documentation, and communication and community engagement. There is a strong emphasis on the protection of healthcare workers in the field, particularly in resource-limited settings.
Infection Prevention and Control was written for nurses, doctors and health administrators working in the field of infection prevention and control, particularly in resource-limited settings. It includes chapters on IPC programmes, risk management, health facility design, outbreak surveillance and antimicrobial stewardship.
Intrapartum Care was developed for doctors and advanced midwives who care for women who deliver in level 2 hospitals. It contains theory and skills chapters adapted from the labour chapters of Maternal Care. Particular attention is given to the care of the mother, the management of labour and monitoring the wellbeing of the fetus. Intrapartum Care was written to support and complement the national protocol of intrapartum care and the essential steps to manage obstetric emergencies (ESMOE) in South Africa.
Maternal Care addresses all the common and important problems that occur during pregnancy, labour, delivery and the puerperium. It covers the antenatal and postnatal care of healthy women with normal pregnancies, monitoring and managing the progress of labour, specific medical problems during pregnancy, labour and the puerperium, family planning, and regionalised perinatal care. Skills chapters teach clinical examination in pregnancy and labour, routine screening tests, the use of an antenatal card and partogram, measuring blood pressure, detecting proteinuria, and performing and repairing an episiotomy. Maternal Care is aimed at health workers in level 1 hospitals or clinics.
Maternal Mental Health was written for doctors, nurses and social workers caring for women before and after birth. It includes an introduction to maternal mental health and illness, making referrals for maternal mental illness, helping mothers with mental health problems and special issues in maternal mental health. It includes a resource section for assessing, referring and supporting mothers in the perinatal period.
Mother and Baby Friendly Care describes gentler, kinder, evidence-based ways of caring for women during pregnancy, labour and delivery. It also presents improved methods of providing infant care with an emphasis on kangaroo mother care and exclusive breastfeeding.
Newborn Care was written for health workers providing special care for newborn infants in level 2 hospitals. It covers resuscitation at birth, assessing infant size and gestational age, routine care and feeding of both normal and high-risk infants, the prevention, diagnosis and management of hypothermia, hypoglycaemia, jaundice, respiratory distress, infection, trauma, bleeding and congenital abnormalities, as well as communication with parents. Skills chapters address resuscitation, size measurement, history, examination and clinical notes, nasogastric feeds, intravenous infusions, use of incubators, measuring blood glucose concentration, insertion of an umbilical vein catheter, phototherapy, apnoea monitors, and oxygen therapy.
Perinatal HIV enables midwives, nurses and doctors to care for pregnant women and their infants in communities where HIV infection is common. Special emphasis has been placed on the prevention of mother-to-infant transmission of HIV. It covers the basics of HIV infection and screening, antenatal and intrapartum care of women with HIV infection, care of HIV-exposed newborn infants, and parent counselling.
Primary Maternal Care addresses the needs of health workers who provide antenatal and postnatal care, but do not conduct deliveries. It is adapted from theory and skills chapters from Maternal Care. This book is ideal for midwives and doctors providing primary maternal care in level 1 district hospitals and clinics, and complements the national protocol of antenatal care in South Africa.
Primary Newborn Care was written specifically for nurses and doctors who provide primary care for newborn infants in level 1 clinics and hospitals. Primary Newborn Care addresses the care of infants at birth, care of normal infants, care of low-birth-weight infants, neonatal emergencies, and common minor problems in newborn infants.
Saving Mothers and Babies was developed in response to the high maternal and perinatal mortality rates found in most developing countries. Learning material used in this book is based on the results of the annual confidential enquiries into maternal deaths and the Saving Mothers and Saving Babies reports published in South Africa. It addresses the basic principles of mortality audit, maternal mortality, perinatal mortality, managing mortality meetings, and ways of reducing maternal and perinatal mortality rates. This book should be used together with the Perinatal Problem Identification Programme (PPIP).
Well Women was written for primary health care nurses and doctors to address the many reproductive and general health problems faced by women who are not pregnant. Topics include family planning and infertility, common genital and urinary infections, vaginal bleeding, pain and discomfort, and abuse of women. These conditions are often poorly diagnosed and managed in clinics and district hospitals.
The learning objectives are clearly stated at the start of each chapter. They help the participant to identify and understand the important lessons to be learned.
There is a multiple-choice test of 20 questions for each chapter at the end of the book. Participants are encouraged to take a pre-test before starting each chapter to benchmark their current knowledge, and a post-test after each chapter to assess what they have learned. The correct answers, together with the source of each question, are given at the end of the book to enable participants to mark their answers when they have completed both tests. They should restudy the sections related to any incorrect answers. This enables participants to monitor their own progress. Self-assessment allows participants to monitor their own progress through the course.
Theoretical knowledge is presented in a question-and-answer format, which encourages the learner to actively participate in the learning process. In this way, the participant is led step by step through the definitions, causes, diagnosis, prevention, dangers and management of a particular problem.
Participants should cover the answer for a few minutes with a piece of paper while thinking about the correct reply to each question. This method helps learning.
Simplified flow diagrams are also used, where necessary, to indicate the correct approach to diagnosing or managing a particular problem.
Each question is identified with the number of the chapter, followed by the number of the question, for example 5-23.
Important practical lessons are emphasised like this.
Each chapter closes with a few case studies which encourage the participant to consolidate and apply what was learned earlier in the chapter. These studies give the participant an opportunity to see the problem as it usually presents itself in the clinic or hospital. The participant should attempt to answer each question in the case study before reading the correct answer. Case studies without the correct answers are also used at the start of some chapters to identify common clinical problems that need to be addressed.
Some Bettercare books include chapters on practical skills that need to be practised, preferably in groups. These skills chapters list essential equipment and present step-by-step instructions on how to perform each task, often with pictures. If participants are not familiar with a practical skill, they should ask an appropriate medical or nursing colleague to demonstrate the clinical skill to them. In this way, senior personnel are encouraged to share their skills with their colleagues.
On completion of each course, participants can take a 75-question, multiple-choice examination managed by Bettercare.
All the exam questions will be taken from the multiple-choice tests from the book. The content of the skills chapters will not be included in the examination.
Participants need to achieve at least 80% in the examination in order to successfully complete the course. Successful candidates will be sent a certificate which states that they have successfully completed that course. Bettercare courses are not yet accredited for nurses, but South African doctors can earn CPD points on the successful completion of an examination.
Contact Bettercare when you are ready to take the exam.
The developers of our learning materials are a multi-disciplinary team of nurses, midwives, obstetricians, neonatologists, general paediatricians and other medical specialists. The development and review of all course material is overseen by the Editor-in-Chief, emeritus Professor Dave Woods, a previous head of neonatal medicine at the University of Cape Town who has consulted to UNICEF and the WHO.
Books developed for the Perinatal Education Programme are provided as cheaply as possible. Writing and updating the programme is both funded and managed on a non-profit basis by the Perinatal Education Trust.
Eduhealthcare is a non-profit organisation based in South Africa. It aims to improve health and wellbeing, especially in poor communities, through affordable education for healthcare workers. To this end it provides financial support for the development and publishing of the Bettercare series.
The Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, is a centre of excellence in HIV medicine, building capacity through training and enhancing knowledge through research.
The Desmond Tutu TB Centre at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, strives to improve the health of vulnerable groups through the education of healthcare workers and community members, and by influencing policy based on research into the epidemiology of childhood tuberculosis, multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, HIV/TB co-infection and preventing the spread of TB and HIV in southern Africa.
The Perinatal Mental Health Project of the Centre for Public Mental Health in the Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, aims to improve the mental health of women during pregnancy and in the months afterwards. The project targets women in low-resource settings who are at risk of depression and anxiety.
The Infection Control Africa Network (ICAN) promotes and facilitates the establishment of infection control programmes. This includes promotion of surveillance for and reduction of healthcare-associated infections, and antimicrobial stewardship activities through education. ICAN works with infection prevention structures in Africa and other international health-related associations.
Breast Care for Nurses is a non-profit organisation based in South Africa. It is dedicated to bring continuing learning opportunities to healthcare workers involved with the screening and management of breast cancer.
Bettercare learning materials are regularly updated to keep up with developments and changes in healthcare protocols. Course participants can make important contributions to the continual improvement of Bettercare books by reporting factual or language errors, by identifying sections that are difficult to understand, and by suggesting additions or improvements to the contents. Details of alternative or better forms of management would be particularly appreciated. Please send any comments or suggestions to the Editor-in-Chief, Professor David Woods.

Inspire and educate the audiences at your events. Tamara's topics are all centered around personal and professional development and designed to help real estate professionals lead better lives, using the latest and most effect sciences and technologies possible.
Topics: Lead generation, marketing, overcoming fear and procrastination, rewiring your brain
The thoughts we think and the things we do (or don't do) are largely subconscious in nature. In fact, many of our 'bad habits' are on autopilot. Imagine the difference it would make in your audiences businesses if they could each replace one bad habit (procrastination, overeating, wasting time) with one good habit (sticking to the schedule, going to the gym, making phone calls). Ultimately, fear is behind most bad habits. Fortunately, neuroscience and subconscious programming teach us how to re-wire our brains for better habits and bigger businesses. This training teaches audiences the basic steps to understand the bad habit cycle and how to break it.
Topics: Overcoming objections, client communications, conflict resolution
In business, clearly the way we connect with clients, prospects and referral sources is in fact more important than any other facet of any business. Even the best lead-generation method out there wont reap the rewards of closed transactions if the person can't communicate effectively. Building rapport, creating trust, and curtailing conflict are all based on neuroscience, linguistics and communications theory. Beyond pushy persuasion skills that rarely result in relationship and referral-based businesses, this training focuses on the the keys of interactions that span from social media to seller objections (this training can be social-media only focused too).
Topics: Mindful achievement, creating a value-based business, ideal outcomes
Maybe the granddaddy of them all, but let's be clear what motivation means. This isn't about "Rah Rah! Let's go" kind of motivation. This is about internal drive. Internal drive is what makes agents self-starters who are able to move through fear and focus on greatness. This key factor is the difference between high producers and stagnant complainers. To find that fire that makes an agent want to hop out of bed in the morning and get to business requires a few things. First of all, the effectiveness lies in what I call "mindful motivation." Mindful motivation is about getting clear on your values and attaching them to an ideal outcome that's so exciting you can hardly believe it could happen. In this training, audiences learn not only how to reveal their values, but they'll learn the art of Medicreation and mental rehearsal which will keep them internally on fire and driven to succeed.
Want the Whole Enchilada?
Tamara offers key-note, half-day or full-day trainings that combine all three of these elements in any customized way so that your audience can bust through bad habits, self-limiting beliefs and fear, while developing the real secret skills to win over clients and prospects. Importantly, they'll understand how to discover their internal drivers, install them, and rock their real estate businesses upward. Mindful motivation, when combined with mental rehearsal, not only re-wires our neurology, but interacts with natural laws that make success almost automatic.

This is now available to read or download on the Newsletters page.
Sadly the Flora Group had to decide to cancel this event, owing to a total lack of flowering subject-matter in the chosen sites (and almost everywhere else) by now. If you've already booked, you should have had an email notification of this. If you were thinking of making a late booking, please don't!
Tim Rich has expressed his willingness to run a meeting in 2018, and hopefully we can arrange this for a date a bit earlier in the Dandelion season. Watch out for an announcement in the Spring 2018 Flora News.
Wiltshire Botanical Society have published a valuable report on the regeneration of Juniper at Porton Down, Wiltshire / Hampshire (VCs 8 and 12). It can be found here under "Other publications".
Among the many events on the Hants Plants diary this one stands out. It commemorates the life of an outstanding student and champion of our native plant life. It raises money to continue his work. And anyone who knows the speakers and has seen their superb photography know this will be a memorable event.
Wonderful Wild Orchids
If you're recording for the BSBI's Atlas 2020 project, you'll find a new facility on the tetrad listings pages. (Click on the map on the 'Tetrad recording' page to bring up the listing for the clicked hectad. ) When there are tetrads displayed, you'll see new buttons at the top of the scrolling list labelled "Select tetrad, click here for full recording history.." and "..or click here for cumulative species tallies". Use the radio buttons in the normal way to choose a tetrad. The first button pops up panels showing all the dates since the beginning of 2000 when more than 25 taxa have been recorded. Below this is a graph showing the times of year when visits have been made. Hopefully this will guide you towards "gap" times when it might be most productive to go out and re-record. Note that once you have the pop-up on screen, you can update it with data from another tetrad by selecting the new tetrad and clicking the button again - no need to close the pop-up.
Since this feature now shows all the past history for which records have been collected onto the Hants Plants database, the tetrad listings themselves have been changed only to show visits which are relevant to current visit planning: that is, "Proposed", "Cancelled" and "Done" (the last means that the recorder has updated his visit after the event, but the data hasn't yet been transferred to the database. ) This helps to declutter the list, especially now that we have built up several years of logged visits. The recording events shown on the pop-up use actual records submitted, regardless of whether a visit was logged by anyone, and so is a much more complete summary.
The second button shows a graph of the increase in number of species recorded for the tetrad between 2010 and the present against a baseline of the number recorded up to 1999, and a total of all the species ever recorded there. Where there's already been a lot of recording activity, this gives an idea of how productive further visits are likely to be.
Look out for more features soon!
I still have a number of books from the set kindly donated by Roger Veall. They include several BSBI Handbooks, John Poland's Vegetative Key and Anthony Smith's Moss Flora (second edition), at bargain prices. Proceeds will go to the Woodland Trust and to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. See the Items for sale page for a list.
The notes on Euphorbia and the Spurge family used in the 2016 Flora Group workshop are now available here on the Articles and Papers page.
John Norton and Phil Pullen have updated their short key to the commonest species of Cotoneaster here on the Articles and Papers page.
An updated and extended second issue of this workshop guide is now available here on the Articles and Papers page.
Some brief notes on two lavishly illustrated guides to charophytes published in the last couple of years are available here.

Simon Cowell has said that he thinks the X Factor is better without him.
The talent show judge who quit the UK show to launch the US X Factor said that he was delighted with the new judges and the record ratings that the new look show achieved.
I'm thrilled with the numbers. The new judging team are doing a brilliant job and the show feels even better this year. he said to his publicist Max Clifford reports the Sun.
With me not there, it has taken the age down considerably. We have four individuals being themselves. It is the public who will decide, but I am very pleased with the start.
I want it to be ever more successful - but there is a side of me that wants to be missed.
An insider told the paper: Of course he has a high opinion of himself as a judge, but he truly believes the show is better this year.
The competition which returned on Saturday achieved record ratings of 12.6 million viewers and featured new judges Gary Barlow, Tulisa, Kelly Rowland and only returning judge Louis Walsh.
A thrilled ITV executive told the Mirror: We were worried how people would take to the new panel but its been nothing but a resounding success. They are fantastic figures. Cowells absence hasnt hurt us.

Founded in 1976 predominantly as a piano and organ store, California Keyboards has grown over the years into what is the most comprehensive music store in the San Joaquin Valley. Since its inception, California Keyboards has been Kern County's only 'full-service' piano dealer. In addition to an extensive inventory of acoustic and digital pianos, California Keyboards Music Center offers guitars, percussion, band and orchestra instruments, music instruction, instrument repair and restoration, sheet music, lighting and sound equipment, and much more.
In 2000, California Keyboards was purchased by Ed Tomlinson, owner and founder of Performance Piano Company. In order to facilitate Ed's vision for a more comprehensive music store, California Keyboards was immediately relocated from Ming Avenue and Stine Road to California Avenue and Stockdale Highway. The construction of lesson studios ushered in a new era that continues to this day in accommodating the large demand for music instruction in the community.
With a variety of music lessons being offered, the progression from piano dealer to 'full-line' music store was under way and product offerings were expanded to meet the demand of the new students. Tomlinson says, "We believe every child and adult should be able to enjoy music. Studies show that music makes you smarter and we know that music programs in our schools help countless numbers of kids succeed scholastically and beyond. We want to be a part of that; to be a small participant in the joy and confidence that music can bring to the lives of so many."
2006 brought with it another move for California Keyboards to Oak Street. Necessitated by continued growth, the move brought California Keyboards to a more central and visible location and provided space the growing company required.
In 2017, the store moved to its current location at 2408 Brundage Lane in Bakersfield. The new facility boasts a dedicated repair shop and separate areas for the instrument showroom and music lessons. In addition, there is a 78-seat recital hall, something Tomlinson has always wanted in the store. It is dedicated to Ruth FitzGerald and Harry Hanson, two longstanding employees of the store.
Over the years, California Keyboards has constantly positioned itself to set new standards in the retail music products arena. By offering superior products at competitive prices and by fostering a friendly, fun atmosphere with a knowledgeable staff that is always eager to help customers pursue their musical ambitions, California Keyboards has built a business with a great reputation among professional musicians, music educators, and students of music.

Did a search, didn't find much, So I guess the point of this topic is.... Who's airport has the best weather vane?
I'd say ours here at Whitehorse, Yukon (YXY/CYXY) is definetly near the top of the list... An old DC-3 that has been recently taken down from its pole, fixed up into exellent condition, and put back up, painted in a classic Canadian Pacific colour set, and continues to sit up on the pole, giving everyone who passes a chance to see what runway is in use that day. (the 3 is rigged up to always point into the wind, unless of course there isnt a wind.)

After-show was described as 'a big yawn'
Ainsley Walters, Gleaner Writer
MR VEGAS, who just returned from a concert in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare, has countered newspaper claims out of that country which described his concert as being "a big yawn".
Vegas, who burst on to the scene with Nike Air in 1997, followed by the mega hit Heads High,said the Zimbabwe gig, 'Mr Vegas in Concert', was not his best, but made no apologies, saying he is a reggae act, not a dancehall artiste, which was what the crowd of youngsters expected.
"It wasn't the best, but it was a good show. However, it seems that in some places, it's like you're performing in Jamaica. I was a bit disappointed that some of these younger youths who came out were more into two hours of straight dancehall, high-energy, non-stop music.
"My show is mixed with reggae, tributes to the likes of Bob Marley, my Sweet Jamaica song, a concert with a reggae feel," he said. He added that the Harare crowd probably turned up expecting the Jamaican dancehall that they watched on YouTube.
"We thought a song like Bob Marley's Zimbabwe would have come off well, but some people were complaining about us doing reggae and they came to see a dancehall show. I was disappointed. I view myself as a reggae artiste, not dancehall," he explained.
The Harare press was harsh. Entertainment reporter Melissa Mpofu of NewsDay wrote:
"Jamaican dancehall star Mr Vegas (born Clifford Smith) performed at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) on Friday evening and helplessly watched as most of his fans walked out of the venue during his performance.
"Mr Vegas, meant to start performing at 11:30 p.m., got on stage an hour later. Although revellers were getting impatient, his appearance breathed life into the venue. Fans screamed and enjoyed his first songs.
"When he was halfway through his performance, revellers seemed to lose interest in his performance and they started trickling out of the venue."
However, Vegas said he was putting on a reggae show, not a dancehall gig and was surprised that African youth, mainly male, did not connect with cultural music.
"Most of my performances are overseas and I am always introduced as a reggae artiste. There's no category outside of Jamaica called dancehall, it's reggae. When I do my show, it's a performance filled with different types of music from Jamaica.
"Some of the songs we don't sing, like the greats. We don't want to sound like karaoke, so we just play their songs. I am not a deejay. I sing vocals on these uptempo dancehall beats, no different from what Barrington Levy does on a slower beat," he explained.
However, the Zimbabwe youth, he said, were unappreciative.
"I don't know if the youths are losing interest in that side of culture. If I go out and people are disappointed with a few reggae tracks, I can't help that. I grew up on Bob Marley and Barrington Levy.
There's Germany, Spain, New York City, and those places where that type of music goes down well," he pointed out.
"I cannot tour and just do jump-up music. I have to be versatile in my performance," Vegas added.
However, not everybody left the concert disappointed. Mpofu wrote:
"Another fan who seemed to enjoy every moment of the show said: "I think some people who came here clearly do not appreciate dancehall music because this guy delivered a good performance. I do not understand what people mean when they say he did not perform well."
next tour
Vegas said his next tour, to the United States, would take him to what is known as the 'B' market, "places where not everyday artistes from Jamaica tour, places like Minnessota, Seattle, Chicago, those places, Virginia".
The tour starts December 14, but Vegas will be in Guadeloupe alongside Destra first, as he looks to release his Sweet Jamaica album in February.
He said he has deliberately stayed away from performing in Jamaica.
"It's a deliberate move on my part. I've been doing this for 15 years and I don't want to be one of those artistes who overstay my welcome, still running around Jamaica trying to 'mash up' a stage show," he said.
"Jamaica is the base that sets you up for rest of the world. My first few years were a learning process, developing my craft. I am leaving that to the younger youths. There are a lot of artistes here. If everyone is here competing, it would be too much of one thing.
"In addition, outside of Jamaica, you're allowed to perform. You can try it here, but you might go on at the wrong time and get some bottles or boos," he said.

Acid attack victims to find a career in tattoo art through this philanthropic workshopThis charitable initiative by Body Canvas Tattoos & Piercing will bring a new dawn in their life
India's most renowned tattoo & piercing studio, Body Canvas Tattoos & Piercings have announced their association with the popular non-profit organisation 'Channv Foundation' to bring a new ray of hope for the acid attack survivors. They will host a career workshop for these victims on 24th April at their studio in Hauz Khas, New Delhi.
In sync with the foundation's objective to help such girls in multitudinous ways, the focus of the workshop will be, 'Tattoo as a lucrative career and its scope for the aspirants in India.' The workshop will be hosted by Vikas Malani, Founder & Director - Body Canvas Tattoos & Piercings who has an experience of about two decades of learning and experimenting with the ink.
The philanthropic initiative is being taken with a hope that women with the scarred faces can find their refuge in tattoo art and can even earn their livelihood by becoming a full-time tattoo artist. After the workshop, interested women will be given an opportunity to get themselves enrolled for free training and scholarship. The free training under Vikas Malani will enable them to get a job as a tattoo artist at any reputed tattoo studio. The acid attack survivors who are willing to get inked can also get their own tattoo after the workshop.
Talking about the workshop and the association, Vikas Malani, the most sought after tattoo artist in India says, "With this association, we aim to empower the women survivors of acid attacks by giving them free training to become professional tattoo artists. We would like to boost their confidence and welcome them to Body Canvas's positive environment and energetic workforce".
Director of Chhanv Foundation, an acid attack survivor and an inspiration to many, Laxmi who will be present at the event, says, "At Chhanv - an abode in Delhi for such girls, we believe in creating an atmosphere where the survivors can relax and rebuild their confidence without revisiting their pain and suffering. We regularly organize trainings, workshops, counseling sessions and many other programs to support and facilitate the survivors. This workshop is in line with what we strive for, and therefore we are happy to collaborate."

Unanswered: Creating Primary Key after CREATE TABLE: To create Sequence when using ALTER TABLE
I had a question on creating PK with alter table, after table is created.
I understand I create a PK id during create table by stating id as follows:
id serial primary key
For a table testing, it implicitly creates index and the sequence testing_id_seq to be associated with the id field.
I can list the sequence with \ds.
However if I create a primary key with alter table primary key as in:
import_dbms_db=> alter table testing ADD CONSTRAINT pkid PRIMARY KEY (id);
NOTICE: ALTER TABLE / ADD PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "pkid" for table "testing"
import_dbms_db=> \ds
No relations found.
It does not create a sequence.
So I am assuming I have to create the sequence and associate it with the column separately as well?
Is there a way to create primary key with the alter table to allow the sequence to be created automatically and associated with the primary key?
I did not find anything on this so just wanted to confirm - so I write my scripts accordingly.
Also during creating indexes (primary, secondary or foreign) am I allowed to create indexes with same name but on different tables? Or do index names have to be different across tables? probably good programming practice as well to have different index names across tables even if allowed?
Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Thank you Shammat. I was not able to see the 'owned by' for the sequence.
It would be great to have a few examples that go along with the documentations.
If there was someone I could reach to help with that please let me know.
Thanks again.

Hi ladies
Tomorrow after work I go for a ca125 test for my 3 month ck up on Friday. This is the first time I have been sick before a test. I have a slight head cold but I also have had some sort of stomach bug the past couple days. No big surprise since I work in a high school health office and both of these were going around prior to the break.
What I am wondering is - can either of these raise my CA level? I was just wondering so if in fact they call me thursday and say it is up I don't flip out and assume it is the cancer.
Until my cold and and tummy bug I have felt great. A little tired from all the last minute holiday preprun around but over that now.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Jan 02, 2013 - 1:55 am
ANYTHING can make that ca125 go up(or down). If its a few points,no biggie, if it doubles.....maybe a problem. Your nerves and anxiety can make it go haywire. Try to relax and don't get all bent out of shape if it is up. Best, Debrajo
Jan 02, 2013 - 5:45 am
Thanks Debra Jo. This is my first real follow up. My first check was combined with surgery follow up after having my I P port removed.
Jan 02, 2013 - 8:12 am
Could you postpone it a week or so? That way your bugs will be gone.
