The wildebeest has a characteristic shape: a heavy, dark head carries sharp, hooked horns and its sloping back ends in a horse-like tail. A shaggy dark mane above and below the neck sets off its grey hide that has a silvery-blue sheen in bright sunlight. The males hold a territory by marking it with their scent; even when on the move, they defend a zone which contains their harem of females. A wildebeest calf can run beside its mother within minutes of being born.

And we...
WON!!!!! Yes!!! Hurray!!! I won't have to go looking for that gazillion foot cliff anymore!!
Now getting to the boring details that I'm sure you're dying to hear… We ended up winning two out of two rounds. The first was almost a gimme (we where going up against a team of first timers). Which left us with just enough time to go watch the end of another debate, between the presumed two top teams. One of the teams was getting thrown around by the negative, and I begin to pray that we wouldn't have to go against the them (the negative, the best team, the monsters, the whatever's...).
I had a bad feeling in my gut that we would have to debate them. And sure enough we, out of the eight other teams that could have been chosen, were picked to be their next victim! One of my debate friends offered an encouraging "Nice knowing you." while others just turned their faces away and openly wept at our sure demise.
My debate partner and I walked down a dimly lit hallway that resembled a badly built nuclear fallout shelter. Shadows crept along the floor, always following us, but never making a sound. The atmosphere reeked death…
One hour later after much arguing, questioning, brain racking, mud slinging (just kidding), and trepidation, anxiety, consternation, apprehension, and - trepidation we walked out victors. We had defeated Goliath! We had survived…

Sweet morning surprise's...
This morning, a hornet woke me up by stinging me on the wrist... It could have been worse becauseI didn't automatically put the pain and my brain together, and I mistakenly thought I was having a blood clot of all horrors!(forgive me, I had just woken up.) And I knew that those were no fun, so I just sat up in by bed and looked at my arm vigilantly. But woe! Of course its six'o clock in the morning, so I can't see anything, and to add to the ruckus, the alarm clock goes off... But however friends and foes, I, Tash, luckily, am not prone to panic. And also fortunately for myself, I do not fear little insects such as spiders, bees, hornets, centipedes, or those little pinching bugs either. And it's a very good thing because just a milly second later I see crawling across my pillow an overgrown hornet preparing for me to set my head back down on the pillow for another sweet surprise.
Valiantly forgetting my pain for the moment, I said to the hornet, "my friend. Why, pray thou, dost you assail me in such an unflattering manner? Ya, thou make's me believe that thou art one of those who goes to and fro causing pain and suffering." And then I ceremonially took the pillow he/she (how can we know?) was perched on and threw it off the bed, to say it more accurately – I threw it off a triple bunk bed... And with evil and diabolic thoughts of joy, in that I had not gotten stung twice so far - I smashed the poor beastly.
As Gimli would say "Ladies and Gentlemen, you are reading the words of a murderer."

The winter storm hitting Texoma is nothing but a waiting game for those in charge of keeping our roads clear and safe.
"You plan for the worst and expect the best. That's what you're doing. You have no idea," said Larry Krugle, the street superintendent of Wichita Falls.
It's hard to say how much snow Wichita falls will get but workers from the city's street department have loaded 3 snow plows on dump trucks. Two graders are also ready to go in case crews need to head out and start clearing our roads.
Krugle says, "We sent people home knowing that they'll probably have to work this evening and we're starting 12 hour shifts starting at 7 tonight until 7 in the morning."
If necessary, Monday morning's crew would get called in to work an extra shift. If snow accumulates the city would focus on removing it from the major streets and areas where emergency service facilities are located. That's why Krugle urges Texomans to stay home and not drive unless it's necessary. That's not only for your safety but also for the safety of crew workers.
"You have to look out for the other person so it makes it a little harder if you're the person putting down ice chad, running a blade or plowing because you have to look out for the other people. You have to concentrate on what you're doing and watch out for them," said Krugle.

I have been on and off the paleo diet for about two years now and while I love experimenting with recipes and new ingredients, there is one thing that is still difficult: Finding the best paleo to eat "on the go".
If you have a 9 to 5 office job and you're trying to live by the paleo "rules", you probably take a lot of salads to work. Which is great if you love salads, and I honestly do! I take mine in a freezable salad lunch box like this one and I don't mind eating a salad every day. Avocado on my salad makes all the difference. However, my boyfriend is not a huge salad fan (unless it's drowned in ranch dressing or loaded with sweet corn). Because he's determined to try eating paleo with me (you can find his post on eating paleo here), I have been looking for quick paleo lunches and snack options that are NOT salads.
- Tortillas/Fajitas: This is a great recipe for thin paleo tortillas that you can stuff with chicken, shrimp, or beef, and any veggies of choice. Rolled up they make a great light lunch or can even be a substitute for a sandwich. I used tapioca flour instead of arrowroot. Tapioca flour is widely available and cheap.
- Meatballs: I recently started making burgers from ground turkey. They taste great hot or cold. Take them for lunch with some of your favorite snack veggies like baby carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Here's an example for a recipe:
- Homemade ketchup: Turkey burgers go great with ketchup. To make a paleo approved version, I use tomato paste, any kind of vinegar, salt, pepper, coconut sugar, and a little bit of water until it is creamy enough. I also add curry powder to mine, but that's optional. As not everybody uses sweeteners such as coconut sugar, here is a recipe that uses date paste. It is a lot more complicated than my recipe though, and I have been too lazy to try it out.
- Zucchini noodles with tomato: This is probably one of the easiest paleo lunches. If you have a julienne slicer or spiralizer like this one, just take one big zucchini and turn it into zoodles. Tastes great with an easy tomato sauce (canned tomatoes, tomato paste, ground beef, onions, italian seasoning. I could not find a simple recipe for this sauce). The zucchini doesn't even have to be cooked, just microwave it for a couple of minutes together with the sauce in your office kitchen.
- Zucchini noodles with sausage: Here is another super easy recipe with zucchini noodles. 4 ingredients – it can't get easier than this.
- Your own "starbucks protein box": Starbucks is awesome, and I love the protein box (apart from the fact that the bread, peanut butter, and cheese are obviously not paleo approved). But to be honest, it's expensive for what you're getting. Make your own, make it cheaper – and make it paleo. A boiled egg, some grapes or fruit of choice, vegetable sticks, deli meat, and almond butter. Here are some recipes:
- Paleo rolls: Starbucks protein box without bread – not an option? These little rolls take some time and effort to make, but if you miss bread the most, these really taste like the real thing. If you don't eat them fresh from the oven, make sure to microwave for a few seconds before eating, because they do get a little dry.
- Snacks: Missing sweet baked goods? Bake some banana bread the night before and take a slice to work for a snack. I usually add pecans to mine. Walnuts work, too.
- Snacks – almonds: Most of the packaged roasted almonds you find in the grocery isle are roasted in non-paleo oils such as sunflower or even cottonseed oil. If you have the time, buy raw almonds and roast yourself. Here is a recipe for rosemary roasted almonds. http://nomnompaleo.com/post/7758908372/roasted-rosemary-almonds
- Snacks – dates: If you feel like you need something sweet for your lunch break, pack 5 or 6 dates in a snack bag.
Do you have any paleo lunch favorites that are not salads? Have you found a recipe for a paleo snack that is super fast and easy to eat on the go? Feel free to leave a comment and I'll add it to the list!

Q: My husband, George, has been on my case lately, saying that I dint mail the bills, I dint iron his best shirt, I dint cook the roast right, blah, blah, blah. Then he had the nerve to say that the real word is "didn't", not "dint". Anyway, when I let him back in the house next week, I want to be able to tell him that "dint" is just as good. What do you think? Mildred C., Chattanooga, Tenn.
A: You dint take your happy pill today, din ya?
Q: I read with interest about the first beehive ever at the White House, recently installed on the south lawn. Very ecologically sensitive. Glenn H., Raleigh, North Carolina
A: Yes, the White House has come a long way in terms of growing and using organic, healthy foods. As recently as 12 years ago, the term "White House honey" was just the code name for Monica Lewinsky.
Q: What exactly is a "concerted effort"? Paul C., Atlanta, Georgia
A: A concerted effort is an intense exercise, reserved for that most challenging of past times – pretending to appreciate the fine arts.
Example: On a date with his wife, Sam made a concerted effort to stay awake during the symphony.
Q: Wasn't poor Sam actually attempting two fine arts – symphony music and pleasing his wife?
A: He will have to sleep in tomorrow.
Q: Whazzup with all the "-stan" countries in the Middle East? Charlotte L., Richmond, Virginia
A: The countries Pakistan, Uzbekistan, etc. are all derived from an ancient root word, roughly translated as "flunk your geography test". At the time, there was a powerful warlord named Stan, who ruled Central Asia with an iron fist. His chief rival was another warlord named Bill, who would capture Stan's territories and rename them after himself. Rare maps of the time show areas named "Pakibill" and "Uzbekibill". Eventually, Stan forced Bill into exile, and Bill's son, Chad, formed his own nation in central Africa.
Q: What, in your view, is the hardest part of marriage? Danny T., Frankfurt, Kentucky
A: You may be surprised to know that the hardest part of marriage is a mastery of pronouns. When my wife says: "I (she) need to do this", she really means that "we" (her + I) need to do that. When I say: "We (her + I) need to improve this", my wife thinks that I really mean that just "she" needs to improve that. To deflect "this", I respond by saying that it is, in fact, only "I" that needs to improve (but I really mean "her"). Get the picture?
Q: I am personally offended by the term "tomfoolery". What bright bulb picked my name? Thomas A., Annapolis, Maryland
A: Sorry, but it has a much nicer ring to it than "barbarafoolery" or "guiseppefoolery". The term in no way reflects on your lifetime of achievement, Tom.

It's the people that make the company. If Richard Branson wasn't so kooky, would Virgin be so creative? Is Steve Jobs wasn't such a thinker would there even exist an iPod ? If Vijay Mallya didn't live life king size, would his beer be so popular?

Take 5 With Erica Steenstra
In this series, Healthcare Design asks leading healthcare design professionals, firms, and owners to tell us what's got their attention and share some ideas on the subject.
Erica Steenstra has a 25-year career in interior design and was recently appointed director of environments for Taylor Design. Here, she shares her thoughts on the sharing economy and care delivery, minding staff work environments, and how medical respite programs can help reduce hospital readmissions.
1. Uber and healthcare
The sharing economy, also referred to as collaborative consumption, has begun to seep into the healthcare sector. Last year, Uber teamed with Harvard Medical School in a one-day pilot program to deliver free flu shots. Uber drivers took a registered nurse to deliver and inject the shot to customers in three test locations (Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C.). The consumer convenience of this model as well as the partnership between the two organizations make this idea a compelling consideration for the future of care delivery.
2. Multitasking myth
I read a lot about memory and brain health because I have a family member dealing with dementia and I want to do all I can to keep my brain healthy. Studies at the Brain, Cognition, and Action Laboratory at the University of Michigan showed that when we multitask, rather than doing two things simultaneously, we are actually causing our brain to switch rapidly between tasks, such as listening in a meeting and answering emails on your phone. This habit exhausts the brain and dramatically increases the potential for errors. As design professionals, we need to be mindful of providing environments for our healthcare clients to do the focused work that is so critical to the care of a patient.
3. Medical respite programs
When a critically ill person without a home or support network is discharged from the hospital, the readmission potential is extremely high. A study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found that 67 percent of homeless patients surveyed spent their first night after discharge at a shelter and 11 percent spent it on the streets. The potential of a repeat in this cycle is obvious. It's costly to the healthcare system and doesn't deliver sustainable health to the patient. Medical respite programs have been started in locations across the country and have been shown to reduce hospital readmission rates and future hospital days, but more is needed. I can't help but think what could come from sharing and partnering among design firms, hospitals, crowdfunding, and a collective effort to solve this problem.
4. Laughter by design
Laughing has such a huge potential impact on our health. It relieves physical tension and stress, triggers the release of endorphins, and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies. I attended a lecture a few years ago by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, and what struck me most about him and his work was the joy with which he approaches everything. The audience laughed all through the lecture, and the work he discussed embodies joy and humor. Design professionals have the power to bring the gift of laughter into the healing environment through such areas as buildings, spaces, furniture, signage, and artwork—what a wonderful opportunity.
5. New sources for healthy living
Preventive medicine, exercise, and healthy eating contribute to reducing the cost of healthcare. Knowing that access to fresh produce is important but not always possible, an organization called Imperfect (Oakland, Calif.) is sourcing "ugly" produce that would not otherwise leave the farm because it's the wrong size or shape for the grocery store. Imperfect delivers it to customers' doors at a cost that's cheaper than a traditional grocery store. For designers, this speaks to the importance of "systems awareness" and understanding how the built environment is one element in comprehensive solutions that may involve designing for emotion, interaction, and service. Physical spaces structure experience and can support different and healthier choices for citizens against the backdrop of other solution-drivers.

Here it is the second installment of my Junk Journal series A Mermaid Tale Junk Journal. In this project, I show the items I selected for the journal and then make the journal from the insides to the covers and including the embellishments.
This is the video showing How to make A Mermaid Tale Junk Journal.
Supplies Used in A Mermaid Tale Junk Journal
Calico Collage Digital Journal Kit – A Mermaid's Tale, Summer Paradise
Scrapbook paper – sea theme
Book Page
Note Cards
Printed Cardstock Journal cards
Graph Paper
Notebook paper
Mulberry paper
Paper Clips
Washi Tape
Rubber Stamps
Chameleon Pens
Tulip Glitter Paint
Brutus Monroe Detail Ink – Raven
Fiskar Scissors
Tim Holtz World Die
Calendar image
Cricut Seahorse shapes
Jot Glue Sticks – any brand will work
Sheet music
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Distressed Ink – Vintage Photo, Stormy Sky
Dritz Cheesecloth, 36-Inch by 6-Yard
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Mint Julip, Precious Metal and Denim Blue
Sea Themed Stickers
Shell sequins – party supply
Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paint, 4-Ounce, Surf
Sewing machine with a dark green thread
The first thing I do is pull my digital papers to the front if I'm going to be using some in the journal. My reason for doing so is this will determine the size of all the pages I use in my junk journal. I prefer to have all the pages the same size. Occasionally I'll do a journal with all different sizes of papers but when working with digital images I like using the size they are printed.
Having pulled the digital images out of A Mermaid Tale Junk Journal digital kit, I'll see if I want to print lines on the back side and then trim the page of the white area down to the page image. Now I measure this page and that is the size I'll cut the rest of my pages.
When all the pages are cut I'll then decide to either stamp on the pages and Add Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists.
If I'm working on a theme then I will make embellishments as I make the journal. And by theme one that is not going to cross over from another very well. lol Like the Mermaid isn't a Jane Austin style journal so you wouldn't really find one in the other. But I will make a batch of Jane Austin style elements to use in lots of journals. Mermaid stuff I try to make as I need so I don't have to store it when I'm done if it didn't get used. 😉
Then I proceed in stacking the pages and adding the embellishments, including journal cards and tags. The cover is chosen out of cardstock this time to keep it simple and I liked the pattern. Using my sewing machine I sewed the elements in place. Doesn't the stitching make you want to touch the cover?
The cover for A Mermaid Tale Junk Journal is attached to the signature of pages with a pamphlet stitch. I used a pretty teal blue ribbon slipped through the binding and tied in a bow to hold it closed and the journal is done.
There are 10 sheets of paper folded to make 40 pages in this A Mermaid Tale Junk Journal. The journal measures 5.25 inches by 7.25 inches. It is for sale in my shop and if sold out a similar one can be made feel free to contact me through my Facebook page to discuss.
Make sure to check out the Friendly Junk Journal People Facebook group. Of course, you are welcome to join the Friendly Junk Journal People Facebook group. The group is growing daily and we are a friendly group willing to help each other and encourage each other.
Interested in any of the journals I created? Please feel free to contact me through my Facebook Page.
Here is my shop, I have a lot of items uploaded and add more weekly.
My hope is that I have inspired you to look at those papers in your stash and make your own junk journal.

'Celebrating 175 years of Thomas Cook'
We were very fortunate and honoured to be invited by Thomas Cook to participate in a landmark event in the History of their company. Year 6 were given the opportunity of taking part in a special celebration of 175 since its establishment. This involved catching the train at the Great Central Railway from Leicester North to Loughborough station where there was a special reception, including a performance by a Living History Group, an exhibition and games. The trip took place on Tuesday 5th July 2016.
Thomas Cook kindly paid the full cost of the trip. There was media presence and we were very proud of the children who spoke to BBC News East Midlands. It was a wonderful opportunity for the school to be involved in such a wonderful event hosted by a locally established company.
Thank you to Thomas Cook, NEXT and the Nottingham Building Society.
Year 6 pupils and staff were invited to Beaumont Leys School for a special visit by the authors "The Two Steves" (Barlow and Skidmore). Their lively and entertaining readings of their I-hero books using a game format and audience participation enthralled the children.

Portrait Sketch of Charles
by HK Park
Oil on canvas
762 x 610 mm
HK Park studied at the National Academy of Design, New York, and the Grand Central Academy, New York. Park's work has been seen in group exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles.
The portrait is of the artist's friend Charles and brings together a portrait sketch made directly from life with a completed portrait of the sitter made from the sketch and other notes taken during the sitting. Park developed the concept from his practice of taking a photograph of a sitter next to the painted portrait at the end of a sitting.

Our non-profit community based organisation operates from Kangema township in the Central Highlands of Kenya, where livelihoods depend largely on subsistence agriculture and commercial crops such as tea and coffee. Although the area may appear to be rich in terms of natural resources, HIV/AIDS is prevalent in the area and has had a devastating impact on local communities and their ability to provide for the many children left behind. On top of losing their parents, and some being infected themselves, these children have to face a huge amount of social stigma attached to their situation. Even those who have the benefit of having a granny, grandpa, aunt, uncle, family friend to look after them, it is a major struggle. Not only do we aim to provide support for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS but also those whose parents have died by other means. Some of the children we are helping were affected harshly by the 2007 post-election violence and lost family members in the ensuing riots.
Below is a map to show where we are based and run our activities in Kenya.
Contact us to discuss ideas and get involved in our work
February 2016
Despite facing some challenges at the start of this year we are continuing to support our teenagers through secondary school and those doing vocational courses with money we have managed to fundraise from family and friends. We're in the process of making grant applications to ensure we can continue our work into the future. Sad news this month is that one of our grandmothers has passed away leaving behind the two siblings she was caring for, we will do our best to support them as they go through this difficult time.
September 2015
We are currently supporting 15 teenagers through the third term of secondary school, with two more being sponsored by Equity Bank. In August we ran two sexual health workshops, one for our guardians and members of the wider community, and the other for all our teenagers 11yrs+. This was in collaboration with the ABCs of Sex Education who did a fantastic job, bringing a great sense of humour into an otherwise serious topic. We have also run four more successful workshops this year in April, May and August. Theatre, art, music and counselling through this medium is having a transformative effect on all our children. They are noticeably less depressed, more confident, and building strong relationships with their peers and guardians.
April 2015
This month we're holding two workshops during the Easter holidays for our youngsters - one is a 10 day residential theatre and art therapy workshop and the other is a four day music workshop. We're excited to be able to give the children this opportunity to learn and grow in such creative spaces!


text: I was currently reading this book titled, The Immortals of Meluha, which revolves around the character of Shiva and his journey to become a Mahadev. The story is interesting, well stated but is highly influenced by modern world and movies. The story has an instance which is quite similar to that in movie 300, that was based on battle of thesauaus. The story is a good fiction with many weak points, but if you ignore it and just go with the flow its surely a page turner. I would rate it 3 out of 5.

Severus Snape hurried down Diagon Alley, clutching his cloak fastenings tightly against the wind. His eyes darted from side to side, then alighted upon a small, shadowy nook between two shops. This must be the right place… He stepped inside and allowed his eyes to adjust to the darkness. There was no one there. Mulciber was late, as usual.
He leaned against the wall to catch his breath, all the while keeping his eyes sharpened for any sign of Mulciber. Passersby hurried past without speaking, and no one stopped to chat with anyone on the street. The Dark Lord had already made his place known in the world; there was a definite sense of fear and tension in the air.
A flash of dark red hair caught Severus's eye, and he stepped forward in spite of himself. There was no doubt who the red hair belonged to.
"Lily," he called, as loudly as he dared.
Lily Evans whirled around, startled. Her distinctive green eyes flashed in his direction, and his breath caught in his throat. He had not seen her for five months, not since they had graduated. She looked older, though five months could not possibly have etched those weary lines on her face. Yet she was just as beautiful as he had remembered.
"Severus?" She sounded wary, almost fearful, as she caught sight of him standing in the shadows.
"Lily, what are you doing? You shouldn't be alone. It's not safe." He stepped out of the nook and guided her inside, quite forgetting about Mulciber.
"I was just running some errands," she said, indicating a large paper bag she was clutching. "What about you?"
"I'm just… I'm just meeting a friend here."
Her face darkened, and Severus felt himself plagued with unhappy memories—all the times she had warned him against his friends' uses of Dark magic, and that particular memory, his biggest mistake of all, when he had called her a Mudblood. She had forgiven him after a fashion and treated him with polite civility for the remainder of their time at Hogwarts, but their relationship could never be the same after that.
Lily seemed to be thinking about the same events, but as if determined not to show it, she put on a brave face and said as conversationally as she could, "How have you been?"
As she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, Severus caught sight of a silver wedding band on her finger. He resisted the temptation to punch the wall behind him.
"I've been…" He tried not to think about his initiation into the band of Death Eaters and the terrifying meetings with the Dark Lord. "I've been all right. You?"
She put on a small smile. "Oh, you know… I've been getting through. I won't say that it's been easy, but we're all trying our best, and that counts for something, right?"
She shivered as she spoke, and Severus immediately unfastened his cloak and draped it around her shoulders. Her eyes widened a little in surprise.
"No, Severus, I don't want you to be cold—" She tried to hand the cloak back, but he swiftly pressed it back into her hands.
"No," he said simply.
She nodded and swallowed as she slowly put the cloak back on. "Thank you."
A fresh gust of wind swept through the alley, but Severus barely noticed. He was examining every inch of Lily's face, from the bright green eyes to the wind-chapped lips to the narrow cheekbones. She cast her eyes toward the ground, embarrassed.
"Listen, Severus," she began awkwardly. "It was nice running into you, but I think I have to go—I'm on a tight schedule, and—"
"Right," he said abruptly. "You're right, of course. I'm sorry I kept you."
She gave him another small smile. "Well, I guess… goodbye, then?"
"I suppose…"
They stood facing each other.
"Wait," Severus said suddenly. "Would it be okay if we—you know—go grab a butterbeer sometime?" He spoke the last sentence very quickly and waited breathlessly for her response.
She smiled sadly at him. "I don't know, Severus." She picked up her bag from the ground, and Severus caught another glance of the silver wedding band. Her answer was, under the circumstances, the best he could have hoped for.
Then suddenly, without warning, his left forearm burned with the most painful sensation. He drew a sharp intake of breath and his right hand instinctively closed around his arm.
Lily, who had just been preparing to leave, turned back in alarm. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," he said quickly. "Nothing."
He dropped his arm, but she had already seen. She grabbed his hand. He tried to snatch it back, but her grip was surprisingly strong. She peeled up the sleeves of his robe and stared, dumbstruck, at the ugly skull-shaped mark burning against his skin.
For a second, he chanced a hope that she wouldn't know what the mark was, but one look in her eyes ascertained that she knew exactly what it was and exactly what it stood for.
He pulled away. "Lily, I'm sorry—I can explain—"
She backed away several steps, staring at him with a look of the deepest disappointment and disgust.
For a moment, they simply stood looking at each other. Then, panicked, Severus launched into frantic justification, not knowing how he could possibly excuse himself but convinced that he had to keep talking.
"Please, Lily, just hear me out. I never meant to—I'm not really—"
"I thought you were better than this."
Her quiet words shattered the air between them, and her gaze was icy. Without another word, she threw his cloak back in his face, spun on her heel, and made to leave.
"Lily, wait—"
But she had already Disapparated.
He stood staring at the area she had been standing just a second ago, unable to erase from his mind the hurt, horrified expression in her eyes. He did not deceive himself into believing that he had ever had a chance with her, but he knew, without doubt, that this was the last time she would allow him to see her.
Those seven words echoed in his mind. I thought you were better than this.
He had no time to dwell on it, however; the mark on his forearm burned again, more insistently.
"I'm sorry, Lily," he whispered to the cold November air.
And he, too, Disapparated to answer his master's calling.

Residents in ACGME-approved training programs can now "bank" Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Improving Professional Practice (Part 4) credit to use after they're certified.
Residents in ACGME-approved training programs can now "bank" Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Improving Professional Practice (Part 4) credit to use after they're certified. As of Spring 2015, residents will be able to earn MOC credit for approved quality improvement projects. They can apply that credit to their first MOC cycle after passing the initial American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) examination. Also, program directors can earn Part 4 credit while helping residents.
The new Motivational Interviewing Performance Improvement Module (PIM) was especially designed for resident faculty dyads, addressing four of the pediatric competencies and corresponding milestones.
Using feedback from patients, parents and observers, participants will learn how specific strategies can influence patient behavior and promote healthier actions to help reduce chronic and preventable diseases. This PIM offers a new electronic data collections process. If participants wish to complete this activity as a team, both program directors and their residents must enroll as individuals.
The ABP will accept applications from those who have completed osteopathic pediatric residency training, through the American Osteopathic Association, only if the training has been accredited by ACGME for the entire duration of required training. Click here to read the full policy.
In November 2014, the ABP revised the time-limited eligibility policy. In order to regain eligibility that has expired, the policy requires at least a 6 month period of supervised practice in the environment of the accredited training program. Both subspecialists and general pediatricians must submit a prospective plan for the experience. The policy and accompanying documents are available here.
This policy was recently updated to comply with new ACGME requirements about prerequisite training for those entering residency and fellowship. The revised policy is available here.
With prospective approval, the ABP offers several non-standard training pathways for residents and fellows, including:
Additionally, the pediatrics-neurology pathway, pediatrics-neurodevelopmental disabilities pathway and the Accelerated Research Pathway require specific educational units to be satisfactorily completed during the general pediatric training. Residents in these pathways must be listed on the Special Training Pathways Roster at the end of the PL-1 year of training, which assures the ABP that residents in these pathways will complete the specific pediatric educational units that are required.
The Integrated Research Pathway (IRP) and Accelerated Research Pathway (ARP) are intended for candidates who are clearly superior in clinical performance and who are committed to a career in research.
The IRP which facilitates an integrated experience in research during the three year residency is suited to candidates with MD/PhD degrees who have already established their research focus, and who will be able to sustain momentum in an already established research career by continuing research during residency. Candidates approved for this pathway have an opportunity to reduce fellowship training from 3 years to 2 years by petitioning for subspecialty fast-tracking.
The ARP appeals to those who aspire to a career as a physician-scientist and are entering a pediatric subspecialty fellowship that requires scholarly activity. These candidates are not required to have a PhD. The additional required year of fellowship provides the candidate with an opportunity for a more intensive research experience.
Read the updated eligibility criteria for certification in pediatric subspecialties.
General Pediatrics residents with marginal performance may be rated as Marginal with Advancement to the Next Level or Marginal with Extension at the Same Level. If a resident is marked as Marginal with Advancement to Next Level, the ABP will record that the resident has earned 12 months of training credit at the end of the year, and moves to the next level. However, if Marginal with Extension at Same Level is marked, the ABP will record that the training level has been extended. If a resident's performance improves, and the program director reduces the extension period, then the program director may contact the ABP to amend the record. However, the period of extended training at the same level cannot retroactively be counted toward the next level of training. An evaluation of marginal with extension at the same level requires an extension of training beyond the usual 3 years.
The ABP strongly discourages program directors and residents from providing ITE test results as part of the fellowship application process. Using the exam for purposes other than self-assessment (either individual or program) constitutes a misuse of the scores and compromises the validity and meaningfulness of the results.
The ABP is a partner in developing milestones and EPAs for pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties, but will not use the assessments for certification decisions until more data is available. We encourage programs to participate in research initiatives conducted by APPD's LEARN and other organizations. We are collaborating with subspecialty groups and the Council of Pediatric Subspecialties (CoPS) to develop EPAs, and so we encourage subspecialty programs to engage in research initiatives to examine entrustment decisions in the context of EPAs.
Updates and information on this initiative are available in a supplement to the May 2014 issue of PEDIATRICS and on the ABP website. The initiative was led by the ABP, in conjunction with CoPS.

Tasting Notes with Jim Beauregard: Finding your way around the spirits worldBy JIM BEAUREGARD October 04. 2017 12:34AM
I've told you before about my friend Simon over in England. He's the one who is a diehard opponent of change in any way, shape or form. Nothing good can come of it, as far as he's concerned.
In fact he's said to me on more than one occasion, "Jim, the only thing in life worth changing is underwear, and on a bad day, even that should be negotiable."
And yet, change is part of the warp and woof of life. (No, I'm not going anywhere, in case you were wondering.) But, in conversation with Tom my editor over the past couple weeks, we discussed the possibility of expanding this column a bit to include occasionally writing about spirits — not the Halloween kind, though it is October, but rather things like whiskey, bourbon, vodka and the like. And so, this will be my first column to touch on the world of spirits.
(As I mentioned before, I did my training in wine writing through the Wine and Spirits Education Trust, which is based in London. Now, that title includes the word "Spirits," and there were classes that focused on the strong stuff.)
So, casting aside fear of change and the new, let's dive in and take a look.
In case you were wondering, things like whiskey, rum and the lot got the nickname "spirits" because they were stored on the lowest decks of warships back in the age of sail. That's where they also kept the bodies of sailors who had been killed in action prior to their burial at sea. Sailors, being an often superstitious lot, sometimes considered those parts of the ship haunted; hence the name "spirits" for the drinks. From the captain's point of view, it was a very good way to keep the sailors from sneaking down below and pilfering the goods, fearing they'd be attacked by ghosts.
My theme this week is "finding your way around." Someone who's new to hard liquors is often confronted first, and sometimes only, by the intensity of the alcohol. In tasting and enjoying spirits, however, the essential thing is to "move around" that initial blast, and find your way around what lies behind it, which is where the intrigue of spirits lies.
The newcomer, for example, may think that vodka has no flavor, but in reality, all vodkas do not taste alike — it's in the process of "finding your way around" the aromas and flavors of alcohol that you will find many delightful and subtle flavors that distinguish one bottle from another.
So, today, for instance, acknowledging the fact that my friend Simon and I both like scotch, we are going to take a look at an Islay scotch from a distillery that has long been a favorite of mine. But first, a word about scotch, and about whiskey in general.
If you happen to be in someplace like one of our state stores, and you take a close look at the bottles in the whiskey aisles, you'll notice that "whiskey" is spelled with or without the "e." It's a matter of geography: in Scotland and Canada it's spelled "whisky," while in Ireland and in the United States, the "e" is usually added. It's really a matter of local tradition — there aren't a whole bunch of rules and regulations governing this.
Whisky in Scotland has generally, historically, been made through the blending of products from a number of distilleries, rather than a single distillery product. However, there are certainly expressions of a single distillery that are well worth seeking.
In Scotland, whisky (no "e") can be made with either malt or grain. Malt whisky is generally made from barley, which is first soaked in water for about 48 hours, which releases enzymes in the malt that break down the starch it contains into sugar, which is the initial step to making a beverage with alcohol in it.
But rather than getting into lots of detail on the process of distillation (which I will do in the future), let's take a look at one Scotch whisky in particular that has long been a favorite of mine.
Laphroaig Lore, Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky: $128.99, New Hampshire State Liquor Store; 48% alcohol by volume. Now, first of all, pronunciation: the island of Islay is pronounced Eye-lay, and the name of the scotch is pronounced La-proy — just pretend all the rest of those vowels, and the "g" on the end aren't there. This will be a constant issue in both Scotland and Ireland, so it's good to have a pronunciation guide handy.
Also, as regards the price, I bought it for less than this, and periodically you may find it on sale at the state store. The thing to keep in mind, I think, when buying something like this, is that one bottle can last a very, very long time. This is my third bottle in about 30 years, and I don't drink it alone.
Laphroaig, on the isle of Islay, has been in operation since the early 1800s and the "Lore" is one of their high-end bottles. A constant characteristic of scotch made on the isle of Islay is the flavor of peat — yes, as in peat moss, a rich, earthy flavor — along with the smokiness that is definitely an acquired taste.
The tasting process for spirits is the same as it is for wine and beer: taking in the appearance, the nose, the palate and then making some conclusions. So here we go with Laphroaig Lore:
It's clear in the glass, medium intensity with gold amber hues, and a nose that is clean and of pronounced intensity with right in the forefront, peat earth and smokiness, and perhaps even a slight hint of seaweed. There is a slight medicinal aroma as well — this is a good thing for Scotch if it isn't overwhelming.
On the palate, it is exceptionally dry, with warming alcohol, not at all harsh but in perfect balance. The task, as I mentioned above, is to get around that initial alcohol aroma, which can be off-putting if you haven't tried something like this before , and see what's behind it.
In this case, the scotch is medium bodied, very smooth-textured with pronounced flavors echoing the nose, the peat being the most prominent, accompanied by delicious smokiness and some wood flavors from the sherry casks in which it is aged. It has a long finish that holds the flavors long after you swallow — a great scotch doesn't disappear quickly from the palate. A few drops of water in the glass (more on this later) really opens up the flavor and makes it even more aromatic. A classic Islay.
So, some new vistas open for us. I'm certainly not abandoning writing about wine and beer by any stretch of the imagination, it's just that we will see a little more variety in the future. Sometimes, little change is a good thing, despite what my friend Simon thinks.

Kind Thoughts From Clients
"I decided to hire a doula because I wanted a different birth experience than with my son. I was scared and didn't feel like I had much say with the birth of my son (hooked up to monitors and in the bed right away!). I also wanted to try an unmedicated birth. I chose Andrea as my doula because of her warm personality, professionalism, and openness to things like an epidural if I wanted one. I also liked her knowledge on different methods to try during contractions (stability ball, walking, oils, etc.) During the prenatal visit, I appreciated that Andrea got to know me and my husband Nick and what my wishes were. At the birth, I appreciated when she encouraged me and told me I was already doing it and the massage that she offered. At the postpartum visit, she helped me decompress the birthing experience and talk about how things were going. I am very thankful for all she did during my daughter's birth!"
H. D., Indian Trail, NC
"I found Andrea while pregnant with my fifth baby. I had only found out about doulas with my fourth birth and I loved the idea of having the support of someone to help both my husband and I out. Sadly, my doula with my fourth birth was only able to make it for the last few minutes due to travel to the hospital and a fast birth so I planned on finding someone closer for this round. God led me to Andrea, who I had met in a homeschool group, and found she only lived 5 minutes from our house! What an answer to prayer! As usual with my pregnancies I was several days overdue and Andrea was very helpful in support and trying to find ways to help position the baby. When labor started she was there the whole time through a long and tiring labor. I was thankful for her support as I was able to deliver naturally with no interventions. We also had Andrea help postpartum as my family support was unable to make it due to illness. It was a blessing to be able to focus on postpartum care which is difficult with several little ones. While we are not planning on any more babies I would gladly use Andrea again if we would have another "surprise" and would recommend her services to any expectant mom who is looking for additional birthing support!"
Meghan Nibbelin, Charlotte NC
"I am so grateful to have shared my birthing experience with someone who is so kind, generous, and knowledgeable. I wanted to find a doula who valued the very empowering experience of pregnancy and childbirth. In addition, I wanted someone with a calm and nurturing sense combined with child birth experience. Our prenatal sessions were incredibly helpful and loaded with information about pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum life. During the birth, she became my voice, she knew the right questions to ask( when I was at loss for words or simply couldn't think of what to ask next). I can't thank her enough for the support! I will definitely use Andrea for my next pregnancy. "
M.J., Pineville, NC
"I wanted a natural, drug-free birth and Andrea was a great asset in making that happen. As a first-time mom, I was nervous about several aspects of the delivery process, particularly whether or not I would be able to stick to my drug-free birth plan. Andrea was always calm, informative, and practical, making both me and my husband feel comfortable that we had a trusted professional on our side who shared our vision and would be an advocate at the hospital. We relied on Andrea to provide guidance and support in critical moments and I'm so glad that we did as was able to help us have the positive birth experience that we wanted!" S.A., Charlotte, NC
"From the very first contact, Andrea was very knowledgeable and provided me with a wealth of knowledge to help me navigate the conflicting information that I was getting about VBACs. She also helped me draft up questions to take to my provider to make sure I was getting care by a VBAC friendly provider. I felt that my provider was not very keen with my plans and Andrea helped me to present my wishes in a differently, it made a difference in my care.
I planned a non medicated VBAC, felt very encouraged and safe due to Andrea's direction. We met in my home several times to discuss options and things I could do to help position the baby and achieve my goal. She was very warm and insightful, had wonderful resources, anecdotes, and oils to assist in birth.
When I got closer birth, I suffered prodromal labor and knew that I could contact her at anytime of day or night to talk.. Weeks of early painful contractions and I never dilated. My goal was to make it to 41 plus weeks before I would consider abother cs. My provider wanted to do the surgery at 39 weeks, without Andrea, I surely would have caved into pressure.
At 41 plus, contractions kept coming and I went to the hospital stayed overnight. I never dilated. Andrea arrived and after talking, I wanted to go ahead and do the surgery. She was super supportive and even though I didn't get what I had planned, it was so healing and wonderful. Not like my previous surgery. Because of Andrea, I was prepared to have a family centered c section and had skin to skin before I left the operating room. I was nursing my son minutes after he was born, which was not the experience I had with my daughter and the previous surgery.
I am so thankful for having Andrea as my rock, to help me keep focused, and accomplish exactly what I wanted, a peaceful birth. It may not have happened as we planned it, but I could not imagine it going any better than it did."
J.L., Matthews, NC
My husband and I met with Andrea multiple times prior to my son's birth. We enjoyed getting to know her and her philosphy and she helped us identify our goals for the birth experience, as well as identify choices that we may need to make during the experience. The prep work was thorough and I felt very comfortable with Andrea going into the last weeks of my pregnancy. She knew our mindset and what we wanted to get out of the birth experience and we felt confident that she would help us make the right decisions for our family when the time came.
Once I was in labor, Andrea was there by my side very quickly and provided wonderful hands-on support. She provided reassurances during what turned into a 30-hour labor and helped me to achieve my labor goals. In addition to hand-holding and physical support to me while I bounced, walked, etc., Andrea was a great support to my husband. It was our first child and my husband was just as emotional as I was, which made having a doula there especially important.
In addition, Andrea was a great mediator between the labor room and our family anxiously awaiting news."
G.P., Fredericksburg, VA

Kelly Ripa Wore a Really Short Dress on 'Late Night', Played Pictionary with Jimmy Fallon
There are a few things you should know about Kelly Ripa's appearance on Late Night this week. The first is that, unsurprisingly, she comes off as Jimmy Fallon's best friend. But that's how almost every guest on Late Night appears. Fallon is apparently Hollywood's best friend now, a position that will serve him well when he comes host of The Tonight Show. Jay Leno has been tainted for a long time, but Fallon? Fallon's golden.
The second thing is that Ripa was wearing a short dress. A really short dress. A dress so short that she had to ask the cameras to turn away when she slid into those ridiculous Sauna Shorts that Fallon brought out. Dangerous games, Ripa. Dangerous games.

Today, I decided that I'd write about a style of relationship often incorporated into BDSM — the Gorean relationship.
What is the Gorean Lifestyle?
The Gorean lifestyle is based on a set of fiction books written by John Norman. The relationships are typically Master/slave, and the participants often adhere to the culture, rituals and protocols depicted in the books, such as slave positions that the slave — known as kajira — must assume, specific commands that are taught and followed, as well as how they're to dress.
The Gorean lifestyle and teachings is way too in depth to explain in one post, so I will stick to the "typical" relationship built upon it.
In Gor, slaves are usually required to address all free men and women as Master/Mistress, and whilst a slave may be owned by one person, s/he is at the will of his/her Master, and can be loaned or "sold" to another or released if the Master so decides.
Whilst these relationships are often built upon an owner/property Master/slave dynamic and would be discontinued without it, they are more often than not inclusive of love, care, affection etc.
The slaves are expected to obey any whom their Master chooses, and the only other option to obedience is to beg for reprieve or release. I've met few who truly adhere to this, and who's Master's truly expect obedience to all free men or women, though such practice is followed by some in the Gor community.
Though it's said that a kajira is to obey without question, we all know if we don't maintain something properly, it's reliability lessens. It's a bit like servicing your car. If you don't, eventually things don't work as well, and this is true for a kajira. Underneath their slavery and service is a human being. They have personal goals, feelings and needs. It may be at the Master's discretion when, if at all his slave gets these — affection, attention, etc. — but to refuse would likely leave you with a slave who has little desire or incentive to be a good one.
Essentially, it is the goal of a kajira to please at all times. They're often not allowed to refer to themselves as "I, me, mine" but instead refer to themselves in ways such as "this girl" or "this slave."
Remember, it's still about having a loving relationship.
Gor relationships are on the extreme end of service and obedience, but it's important that while many Gor lifestyles preach the need to be limitless slaves and entirely dominant Master's, they're all still people, and many don't go to such an extent that they disregard their property's welfare. There is still much emotion even in these relationships, many are based on love and care and honour for one another.
Are you part of the Gorean lifestyle? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment.
