The members of nursing staff on the OB/Nursery floor at Daviess Community Hospital have big hearts and care deeply for the families that come into their lives. Over the past 10 to 15 years, the staff noticed an increasing number of babies born at the hospital who have incurable illness. To help meet the needs of the families, Shawna O'Kelley Brinson, RN and director for OB/Nursing, and other staff members at DCH have established a Newborn Palliative Care Team.
Launched in late September, Brinson said that the DCH program has been modeled off a similar program at Deaconess in Evansville.
"At Deaconess, we discovered that the families stayed at the hospital the entire time. We wanted our families to be able to spend time with their babies in their own homes and this program allows that," said Brinson.
Palliative care for newborns can include everything from helping with oxygen at home to changing feeding tubes and managing quality of life. Brinson said often the goal of palliative care is just to be there for the families when needed.
Prior to the launch of the new program, Brinson said that many of the staff members volunteered their time to visit families of the infants after they were discharged. "We didn't want them to hesitate to call when they needed someone," said Brinson. "We felt that by offering this as a service and having adequate staff available, families would know that not only was it alright to call, but they were encouraged to call."
While the new program is free to families in need of the service, the nurses do receive on call pay for services through the hospital.
For families, having a newborn with a terminal illness is always a challenge but Brinson and the rest of the Palliative Care Team are there for the long haul.

We all know that with kids and animals around the house, it can be really hard to keep walls clean and mark free. Here's some tips on how to clean walls!
Ink (Pen and Permanent Marker) – Thanks to the artistic attempts of our little cherubs, this seems to be the thing that ends up most often on our walls. To remove ink, there are a few methods you can try (for painted walls).
*Spray some hairspray onto a cotton ball until it's fairly soaked and rub it gently over the ink mark.
*Try some rubbing alcohol/metho on a cotton ball and dab it on the ink stain until the stain is gone.
*Apply some toothpaste to it, leave it for 10 minutes, then wash off with water (this method is also great for wallpapered walls).
*Apply some eucalyptus oil to a cotton ball and rub directly on the mark.
Crayon – Another thing the kids like to apply to our walls is crayon. To remove it from painted walls, get a small plastic spoon and gently scrape some of the crayon wax off the wall. Then sprinkle some bicarb soda on a cloth and rub it over the mark. Wipe it off with a damp cloth. If there is remaining crayon residue, try rubbing the rest off with eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball.
To remove crayon from wallpapered walls, use the toothpaste method and follow it up by wiping it down with some white vinegar.
Dirty Fingerprints and Scuff Marks – To get rid of dirty fingerprints the best thing to use is a ½ cup of white vinegar and ½ cup of warm water, then wipe the walls down with it. Eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball rubbed on the fingerprints will also work well.
Grease Marks – The same vinegar/water solution as above may be used to remove grease stains from your walls (especially in the kitchen). Lemon juice is a great degreaser so you can add a couple of splashes of that to the solution for the stubborn grease marks.
General Wall Cleaner – For a general clean and freshen up of your walls, you can try Shannon Lush's technique – 1 teaspoon of lavender oil in a spray bottle of water. Spray it all over the wall and wipe off with pantyhose. Alternatively, you can buy sugar soap from any supermarket or hardware store to wash your walls down.
There are other suggestions I have seen which may also work on your walls, such as using baby wipes, Magic Erasers and Gumption or even just plain soapy water. Let us know if you have any other great tips or tricks and we can add them to the website!

Why Projects Don't Make Sense
In the last few months Steve Smith, myself and others have been Tweeting a lot with the hash tag #NoProjects. We have independently come to believe Projects are a smell, they are bad for our industry (the technology industry). Steve set out his thinking and now it is my turn.
Right now this is little more than a bullet point list, I'm presenting to PROMS-G in February ("The End of Projects") where I will present a more coherent argument. Until then here goes.
Lets start of by defining "A project".
The Project Management Institute says:
"what is a project? It's a temporary group activity designed to produce a unique product, service or result. A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. … The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building … — all are projects.PRINCE2 defines a project as
And all must be expertly managed to deliver the on-time, on-budget results, learning and integration that organizations need."
"A temporary organization that is needed to produce a unique and predefined outcome or result at a pre-specified time using predetermined resources."Actually, PRINCE2 has two definitions of a project:
"project management is the way of managing change. Everything from the Olympics to organising a wedding can be considered a project. It describes the activities that meet specific objectives and can be used to introduce or improve new or existing products and services."Bearing this in mind I suggest the project model does not fit software development:
- Projects have end dates - successful software doesn't end, it not temporary. Finished software is dead software, software that isn't used and doesn't change
- Successful software is continually developed and improved, the team is not temporary, it continues to exist (although it might change composition and the imposition of the project may at times destaff it)
- Resources change: sometimes the people decide to leave of their own accord, sometimes the wider organizations decided to remove people or add others
- The project model implies we can define what needs doing before we begin and that it won't change. Software development uncovers need as it proceeds.
- Project thinking implies that the problem can be defined independently before the solution: in software development the creating of a (partial) solution can lead to a redefinition of the problem being addressed.
- Project success criteria are "On time, On budget, On scope" and not business value. These criteria become a distraction and a barrier to hide behind - a "social defence" to use the jargon. Work should be value seeking and judged by the value/capability/benefit/[whatever you want] rather than arbitrary criteria which seemed good one day in the past.
- Corporate Psychopathy: why disband a performing team just because a project has ended? Why start a project by pulling together a new team who have never played before?
- Destroying team destroys knowledge - knowledge has value, knowledge exists in heads not documents
- Project thinking induces short-termism - around quality, around productivity and around teams especially. Project thinking builds pre-fab houses when it should be building to last
- Large batch size: projects lump lots of work together and attempt to manage it all as one large unit. This is inefficient (software has dis-economies of scale), breaks flow and delays delivery which delays value realisation
- Project thinking makes BAU a dirty word; BAU is not a dirty work, BAU is where the action is: if it is worth doing it is worth doing more of, if it is not worth doing then close it down. Use portfolio management rather than pre-defined cut-offs
- Projects inflict change on people (employees): why not seek their involvement? They own the work, they are BAU, the work stream should be seeking to improve itself as part of its daily work
- Continuous improvement is continuous. Projects stop continuity, projects break flow and reduce effectiveness. Continuous improvement should be part of the fabric of everyday work, supported if need be by technologists.
- Project thinking create scheduling projects: "Project B after Project A has finished, but if A is late…." - define work streams and feed them work
- Projects confine change to projects and freeze change elsewhere
- Start-up costs: bureaucracy, administration, etc. of starting a project mean the project model is expensive and slow at taking action. Project setup costs detract from value and the time it takes to "launch" a project detract from responsiveness. On a small work effort the costs of creating a project may be disproportionally high which may detract from attractiveness of doing the work. Similarly the time it takes to get a project scoped, a team assembled, everything kicked-off, performing and delivering creates a barrier to seizing value.
Then there is scaling: so much of the "scaling agile" debate revolves around projects. If instead you accept standing teams dedicated to improving business as usual many of the scaling issues simply go away.
Projects are accounting codes to bill work back to. Projects are for accountants. Leave them at that.
Ask not "When will it be done?" ask instead "When will it start delivering value?"

dieter von holten replied on Mon, 2013/10/07 - 9:35am
what you say sounds comfortable from a software developer's standpoint.
however - how will a software developer get an answer to the question 'does it deliver value?' ? most programmers i know are at home with nice, self documenting code, application of the latest and greatest toolkits/frameworks/languages. but few of them are aware of the cost of a single line of their code, their work-time, or the TOC of what they produce.
managers asks accountants for numbers. then they look at them and say 'if we could do this step of our business process more efficent, we could increase revenue by x % (by firing n people...). so, lets check feasability and then decide if we should start a project to implement it'.
and then they find a project-manager, put him in charge, give him a bugdet and a deadline and the show starts. if all goes well, soon after the deadline (we are practitioners, aren't we??) the pm says 'mission accomplished', rolls out the changed system and everybody's happy.
how else could it be done?
what industry does your wisdom apply to? hardware? software ? embedded devices - consumer or industrial ? apps for ios or android ? a flight booking system? a web-shop? payroll-software? inhouse? shrink-wrapped on dvd? some opensource framework? what price-tag - what numbers?
the ultimate (simplified) consequence of your approach is, that the programmers are attached to their software - and are indispensable (enhancing this, tuning that - adding a little value every day...).
from a company standpoint this is the wrongest of all possibilities....
Rusi Popov replied on Wed, 2013/10/09 - 11:05am
Let's start from the end:
Ask not "When will it be done?" ask instead "When will it start delivering value?"
What is the value to deliver?
For the company the value is to have a new product version 1.0, (OK, not the best one) on time and hopefully on budget and on scope and start doing their business. This brings the revenue and the value for the company, a product for the customers and pays your salary - the value for you.
The process of continuous improvement you describe should have started from somewhere, from something already built and working, in order to improve it. This is exactly the version 1.0. But version 1.0 (and any other major version) is not built continuously improving ... mockups.
The methodologies based on the product life cycle and the software development process refer this period as support and maintenance phase of that product. There the company has the stability of the existing product (a real value), has the alignment of the product with the company goals (a real value), has some feedback from the customers which as a result defines the new value(s) and goals. This phase gives the company the ability to fix, mend the existing version, issue maintenance releases, service packs, name it i.e. apply the continuous improvement, based on the real needs and feedback. Here the changes are small, narrow and mostly isolated, which makes them suitable to be handled by separate, independent developers. But again, building a new product, a new major version, implementing new business processes in systems by teams of many developers is just another thing. Those methodologies refer it as inception,elaboration, design, construction, name it phase. And they need the strategic thinking in advance and planing of the resources, tasks and time what only the project organization provides.
Destroying team destroys knowledge - knowledge has value, knowledge exists in heads not documentsThe knowledge of the product legally is the intellectual property of the company and wasting it is just a hostile act against the company. Yes, destroying teams is a pain, but the teams that have no documentation and thus no way to keep the company knowledge and property do not deserve anything else from the point of view of the organization and the business continuity.
The quotes above and actually the whole article demonstrate lack of understanding of the software development process and perceiving it as self-organized, just happening, when they happen activities of independent developers doing improvements with no goal and design. This is just a direct reflection of the wide spread and naive Agile hype, pretending to impose the experience from small projects and teams to projects of any sizes and scales. This hype will pass and only the proven practices and tools will stay to improve the software development process and project organization.
Allan Kelly replied on Wed, 2013/10/09 - 3:08pm
Thanks Rusi, I like it when someone is moved to respond. And I actually agree with some of your points.
Let me come back on a few points you made, in reverse order.
First I didn't use the word Agile, I agree there is a lot of "agile hype" out there but generally agile hasn't challenged the basic idea of projects.
Second "The knowledge of the product legally is the intellectual property of the company and wasting it is just a hostile act against the company." True the knowledge may belong to the company but it exists inside the heads of people who learned it while creating the system. Until it can be removed and stored electronically the legal position is at odds with reality. And since it is the company which destroys the team it is the company that is inflicting self harm.
Third, "need the strategic thinking in advance and planing of the resources, tasks and time what only the project organization provides." I'm all for strategic thinking but I think this emerged over time and it isn't planned in advance. If it planning was ever going to save the day we would all be living under a Soviet system with 5-year plans.
And where strategic thinking is most required is right with your first question "What is the value to deliver?" if you don't understand that how can you deliver value. But make no mistake: on time, on budget, on scope has nothing whatsoever to do with strategy.
Allan Kelly replied on Wed, 2013/10/09 - 3:12pm in response to: dieter von holten
I think you got the arguement:
"the ultimate (simplified) consequence of your approach is, that the programmers are attached to their software - and are indispensable (enhancing this, tuning that - adding a little value every day...). "
Yes, I think that is the ultimate conclusion. A software system may well be a life's work. You can dispense with every other role in software development and still create software except for programmers. You don't need project managers, testers, analysts, you can still create something. I wouldn't advise trying it though.
No matter how much we might want to divorce programmers from the process you can't. The sooner we stop trying and face reality the better.
Rusi Popov replied on Thu, 2013/10/10 - 1:33am in response to: Allan Kelly
Hello Allan,
Let me just comment the 5-year plans (despite the fact that I live in the former Eastern block and I well know what they were):
- the software development methodologies I refer above elicit phases of the SDLC (see Scott Ambler, "Process Patterns", Cambridge 1998; also http://ambysoft.com/)
- each phase has its own specifics in terms of activities, deliverables and dependencies
- my practice shows that planning in advance of the later phases is not accurate (at all) until the previous phase has been completed
- in addition, some activities within the phase (depending on the actual organization) may redefine the phase itself, for example the design gives the basis for the project's work break-down structure, thus redefining the construction, implementation, code, name it phase. Thus the project cannot be planned and cast in stone from the beginning.
- anyway, from the beginning some of the resources and activities are well known like the target production configuration, the organization, the needed servers, the needed developers, etc. Planning them and the corresponding activities to deliver, setup, configure is really possible.
- furthermore, the well known organization, architecture and framework (which were elicit iteratively in the years) pretty well narrow the options to do the things and give real hints on the kinds of the needed activities
- we plan the phases as a whole (some methodologies refer it as iteration 0),
- plan the well known activities (see above)
- put placeholders for the other activity kinds to come (see above),
- put general estimates of the resources
- after each activity that may define the plan we put an explicit activity to improve the plan, based on that activity's outcome. Yes, the rough estimates of the time and resources are never precise and could not be kept, but anyway the deviations are within the norms.
Allan Kelly replied on Thu, 2013/10/10 - 6:26am
I don't argue with much of what you say. What I will say though is: planning is not projects and projects are not planning.
Planning is just one technique used in by a project manager, planning and some other techniques can just as well be lifted and used in a BAU environment.
You can plan the work almost exactly as you describe in a non-project situation. You just have one of your phases after another. The difference is you don't expect one day there to be a final phase so you keep one eye on the longer term.
My original post deliberately said very little about planning. Planning is a whole other discussion!

Interview Details – Consisted of a 1:1 interview them you were selected for a group interview. Overall, group interview was difficult so they asked the same questions to everyone and sometimes people would have the same answer as you so it was unfair and made it look like people were stealing answers. Positive was that we got to meet a few residents and they got to ask us questions.

It is known that Mayor of Bucharest District 3 Robert Negoita (PSD) submitted to the Prosecutor's Office of the High Court a criminal complaint against his fellow party member, Deputy Sebastian Ghita, owner of Romania TV channel, accusing him of making death threats by phone.
The interesting thing is that the people involved in the scandal avoided explanations regarding the reason itself, which Negoita dates a week ago and Ghita ten days ago. According to sources within PSD quoted by Romania Libera, it is a fight for influence upon PM Victor Ponta. The mayor of District 3 is upset, same as many PSD members, that Sebastian Ghita has a word in the PM's decisions.
On the other hand, during the past week (the period set by Negoita as the moment the scandal broke out), the TV show owned by Sebastian Ghita broadcast many materials in which Robert Negoita was attacked. One of the topics was the concession of parks in District 3. Negoita is accused of acting illegally: he allegedly is the author of a contract which is bad for the Mayoralty of District 3 and that he did not organized a bid. The scandal broke out after the mayoralty led by Robert Negoita ceded to Cris Garden company the four parks in the district Titan, A.I.Cuza, Titanii and Gheorghe Petrascu. The contract is signed over 8 years. According to the document, the company gets EUR 50 million from the mayoralty for the maintenance and design of the parks.
Vice-PM Liviu Dragnea, PSD executive chairman, said he will talk with the two involved in the scandal to see what was behind the criminal complaint. "It is not about an executive chairman, is about a discussion among people, we do not parade our ranks on our shoulders. I am friend with both of them and I want to see what is behind this reaction. I hope there is nothing serious, I hope," said PSD leader. We remind that in 2011 Sebastian Ghita denounced former Realitatea TV channel Sorin Ovidiu Vantu for having made death threats against him, based on audio recordings he made himself. Following the trial, Vantu was charged and definitively sentenced to a year in prison for blackmail.

After beating eBay to pulp in the China market, Mr Ma became rich and famous. However, Mr Ma's fame and fortune came at great expense of his investors (ask Yahoo and Softbank) and customers (ask the shopkeepers at his Taobao.com). His total loss of credibility is reflected by the share price of his Hong Kong listed company which fell from HK$22 in Sep 2009 to HK$6 in Oct 2011. Buying back the shares at the same HK$13.5 price at the IPO in 2007 is the least he can do to redeem his long-suffering shareholders and investors.
In the beginning, many people within Alibaba.com worked very hard in order to see their company grow and prosper, Sadly, however, inept managers (both in the US & China) have nearly ruined the company's reputation as a sourcing platform, and many buyers are currently staying away. The moral of this story is that you cannot have success without measurable integrity and reliability, and that dishonesty and chicanery will only bring you ruin. Clean out all the dirt (bad management) and show us some real testimonials from satisfied buyers, and perhaps there is still a reasonable chance of success.
Perhaps, but would he care about his redemption to his long suffering shareholders and investors? Many Western companies and tycoons do (and would) not, and I sure find it difficult to beleive that altruism with Chinese characteristics is driving this decision.
I agree with ssy, although not about the "famous" part.

Our step-by-step guide to laying laminate flooring.
Locking laminate flooring locks together with no need for glue or nails. The flooring is laid 'floating', with no fixings attaching it to the floor below. This allows it to expand and contract without buckling.

Preparing the existing floor
Laminate flooring can be laid on any smooth, flat surface as long as it is dry, firm and level. Make sure floorboards are firmly screwed down and flatten all nails with a hammer. A newly concreted floor must be completely dry. Level an old, uneven concrete floor with self-levelling compound. (For more detail, see You Can Do It the complete B&Q step-by-step book of home improvement).
Which underlay?
All sub-floors need to be fitted with an underlay before laminate flooring can be laid. Concrete, asphalt, vinyl-, quarry- or similar tiled sub-floors should be covered first with a plastic-film moisture barrier (a damp-proof membrane), in addition to any damp-proof course that may be present in the sub-floor. Never use carpet underlay under laminate flooring.
Poly foam underlay
This is the thinnest of the underlays used beneath laminate flooring, and is suitable for any firm, dry and level sub-floor, such as a wooden floor. Prepare the floor and if necessary lay a damp-proof membrane. Lay the poly foam underlay over the entire floor area. Trim to fit with scissors or a knife, cutting a 10mm gap around pipes. Lay lengths side by side and secure them with masking tape.
Combined underlay and damp-proof membrane
The obvious advantage of combined underlay is that whatever your sub-floor, you only have to fit one layer rather than two. It is thicker than poly foam underlay so will absorb very slight irregularities in the floor, and it provides good sound insulation. Tape the joints to keep the product damp proof.
Wood fibre boards
This is the thickest of the underlays and the one you will need to use if you have a slightly uneven sub-floor. It gives good heat and sound insulation. Prepare the floor and if necessary lay a damp-proof membrane. Acclimatise the boards in the room for 24 hours. Stagger the joints and leave a 10mm expansion gap around the edge of the room and 5mm between the boards.
LOC flooring boards have long and short tongues on the sides and the ends that lock together. Its easy to unlock the floor again if you want to move it. Condition the boards before fitting: lay them horizontally in their packing in the room where they are to be used for at least 48 hours.
Fitting locking laminate
Laminate flooring expands and contracts naturally, so you need to leave a gap of 10mm between the boards and the skirting-board when fitting it, using fitting wedges or expansion spacers.
1 Lay boards lengthways towards the light source. Lay the first board in a left-hand corner over the underlay, the end with the short tongue against the wall. Fit wedges at intervals between the board and the skirting, following the manufacturers instructions. Check that the board is square with the wall.
2 Lay the next board end-on, placing the short tongue of the second board into the long tongue of the first board at a 30" angle. Lower the board and lock it into place. Lay more boards in the sameway until you reach the end of the row, where you will probably have to cut a board to make it fit.
3 To measure the last board, turn it 180" and lay it next to the previous one. Draw a line across the last board level with the end of the previous one. Cut and position it to complete the first row. The joints should be staggered: if the off-cut is between 300mm and 900mm it can be used to start the next row; otherwise, halve a board.
4 To start the next row, angle the cut board against the board in the previous row, cut end next to the wedge. Press forward and fold down at the same time to lock its long side.
5 Place the short end of the next board at an angle against the previous board and fold down, making sure the board is on the locking strip in the previous row. Angle the boards by 30" and push them against the row in front. When the boards are tightly together, push them down.
6 For the last row, place a board at a time over the previous row. Place a third board on top with the tongue touching the skirting and use the edge to mark the cutting line on the board beneath. Cut the board and ease it into position, remove wedges.
Once the flooring is laid, you can remove the fitting wedges and cover the gap around the edge of the room with laminate flooring trim, chosen to match your floor. The trim should be fixed to the skirting - not the floor - with adhesive.
1 Measure and cut lengths of laminate flooring trim. For a neat and professional finish, use trim cutters that cut the trim in a straight line or at angle to fit into a corner.
2 Apply trim adhesive to the back of a length of flooring trim (not the base) so that it will stick to the skirting-board rather than the floor.
3 Press the trim in place and if necessary secure them with some heavy weights, such as books, while the adhesive dries.
Safety first
Laying flooring is very hard on the knees, and can lead to painful injuries if you accidentally kneel on sharp objects. Let a pair of knee pads take some of the strain.
Expert advice
Your complete step-by-step guide to laying laminate and engineered real wood flooring is now available on DVD. All the tips from experts including selecting the correct underlay, using tools safely, fixing thresholds across doorways, working around radiators, kitchen plinths and bathroom fittings.
As well as the flooring, you need fitting wedges or expansion spacers to insert all the way around the edge of the floor (and remove when it is laid). These ensure that a 10mm gap is left for the floor to expand and contract without buckling.
Cut flooring trim with a pair of trim cutters that cut quickly and easily. The cutters have a built-in angle guide for 120", 105", 90", 75", 60" and 45" cuts.

Southern Romania flooded, four dead, 250 people evacuated
The Easter holidays did not bring joy to all Romanians, as the southern part was plagued by severe flooding, the most affected counties being Teleorman, Giurgiu, Ialomita and Prahova.
Minister of Interior, Deputy Prime Minister Gabriel Oprea, stated that four of the persons who went missing in the areas hit by the recent floods were found dead, including the 13-year old child who went missing in the Surdulesti locality, Arges County. Other tree people were from Olt, Teleorman and Prahova Counties.
'It is unfortunate that, following voluntary actions, people lost their lives, after they ignored the big risks they were facing, but also the warnings of the authorities and locals. Among the people who were initially declared missing, following the extended search missions that we conducted, four were found dead, which is very unfortunate,' said Oprea at the emergency task force meeting at the headquarter of the MAI (Ministry of Administration and Interior), in which participated also Prime Minister Victor Ponta. Moreover, he announced that 'the number of localities affected by the floods dropped from 86 down to 35, in part because due to the improved weather conditions, but also as a result of the interventions conducted by the teams of firefighters, policemen, gendarmes and border policemen.
According to the Deputy prime Minister, the MAI has more than 1,500 people deployed right now in the counties hit by the floods, with 'their main mission being to support the population [...] and the communities to return to normality.' 'The number of search and rescue missions of people in danger reached up to 576, while the number of operations to evacuate people from their homes exceeded 730,' specified Oprea.
Minister of Administration and Interior stated that the policemen and gendarmes who participated in the rescue missions in the areas hit by the floods did everything in their power to help the people and the loss of human lives had nothing to do with the manner in which they performed their duties:
'The fact that up to this moment no one can say that human lives were lost because of the defectuous manner in which the more than 5,000 policemen and 6,000 gendarmes who were helping the people in the areas hit by the floods daily understood to do their job means that they did their job well.'
Dozens of homesteads, hundreds of hectares of farmland submerged in Arges and Prahova counties
Dozens of homesteads and hundreds of hectares of farmland in the Arges County (southern Romania) have been hit by the floods in the last two days, according to statistics drawn up by the Emergency Situations Inspectorate. The swollen waters submerged 48 homesteads in several rural towns as well as 429 hectares of pasture and arable land. A footbridge in Stefan cel Mare community was destroyed by the waters and 300 homes suffered power outages after a transforming station in Micesti broke down.
The situation was dramatic in Prahova County too, one house, several basements and cellars but also a restaurant were flooded due to heavy rainfall. According to a press release on Sunday by the Prahova-based Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (ISU), fire crews made use of motopumps to evacuate floodwater from a house in Breaza, but also from 26 homesteads and annexed buildings in Sinaia, Campina, Ploiesti, Boldesti-Scaieni and Breaza. Furthermore, nine basements and cellars were flooded, ISU personnel also intervening to evacuate floodwater from a restaurant in Cornu locality that was flooded together with part of the property. Emergency crews also intervened on National Road (DN) 1A, in Maneciu rural town, to clear a high voltage electricity pylon that was at a risk of falling into the road.
PM Ponta: We shall fund Teleorman River engineering
Prime Minister Victor Ponta announced, yesterday, that the next Cabinet meeting would allocate 15 million lei funds to engineering works on the Teleorman River at Beiu village (southern Romania), seriously hit by recent floods. He added that works should be completed by August, and he is going to return to the area on that occasion to see how problems are solved. The announcement followed a visit to Beiu, where the prime minister, accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Liviu Dragnea, discussed with the locals. The head of the Executive visited several flooded homes and talked with the locals, who asked him to support the building of a dam on the Teleorman riverbank. The prime minister also took a boat of the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations to the areas most heavily impacted by floods.
A day before, Ponta announced, after the meeting of the Command Centre at the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MAI), that the Cabinet's meeting on Wednesday might allocate aid for re-building homes and infrastructure hit by floods. He mentioned that he had come to the MAI also to thank police officers and gendarmes who had been involved in the rescue operations for the flood victims: 'We have all been with our families on Easter, which is normal. All regular people spend holidays with their families. Sadly, those people were hit by misfortune and the state's institutions did their duty, and I wanted to thank the thousands of gendarmes, police officers and firemen, which by the nature of their positions – that's why we highly appreciate them – have no holidays or anything, they report on duty 24 hours a day'.
The head of the Executive added that his presence is only needed when coordination of multiple institutions is required. 'Otherwise, I don't want to bother people on duty; but when it comes to repairing infrastructure, to allocating aids, we are talking also about the Ministry of Finance, about the Ministry of Environment, thus about a coordination task, which obviously rests on me as Prime Minister,' Ponta declared.
Code Orange, Yellow warning of floods in place in five southern Romania river basins
The Romanian hydrology experts have issued a Code Orange and Code Yellow warning of floods on Tuesday in five river basins in southern Romania, while at the same time lifting a Code Red alert from the other previously-warned rivers. According to the National Institute for Hydrology and Water Management, a Code Orange warning will be in place from 9 a.m. till 6 p.m. on Tuesday on the Neajlov (Giurgiu County), where the river flow and levels are expected to rise following the advance of the prior flash floods. A Code Yellow alert has been issued for the next hours for the Calmatui (Teleorman County), Paraul Cainelui where flowing into the Vedea (Teleorman County), on the downstream Vedea at the confluence with the Teleorman, on the Teleorman at the confluence with the Vedea, on the Sabar downstream Poenari (Giurgiu County) and on the Ialomita (Ialomita County).
The meteorologists do not herald good tidings for the forthcoming period either. According to the forecast issued by the National Meteorology Administration (ANM), the rain will come back in all regions of the country until the end of April, as major water amounts might cumulate in some areas, and the temperatures will range between 18 and 20 degrees C on average by May 4.

Vermont Workshop Adventure
I'm in rural Vermont right now taking a class with Celie Fago and having a great time with my metal clay buddies. Celie's studio is very comfortable and she makes her students feel so welcome in her slice of paradise. Pictured above is her teaching studio. To the right is the view from the studio. We're just a bit early to see the leaves in full autumn blaze, but a few of the trees are starting to change. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful place to hang out, learn and stretch my creative muscles for a few days.
After signing up for this class, I learned that some of my online metal clay friends were also attending. This was fantastic news! It got even better when I learned that one of my friends had access to a house just 20 minutes from Celie's place. There are five of us staying together and the house is filled with laughter each evening as we get to know each other better.
We've each taken responsibility for feeding the house one night. Angie and Marly served an amazing veggie quiche last night, and on Saturday, Holly shared her homemade minestrone soup. Barb started the trip with a bang by steaming nine live lobsters. Nine lobsters! She lives on Little Cranberry Island in Isleford, Maine, and her husband is a lobsterman. To us this was sheer extravagence, but to Barb, it's really no big deal. Doesn't this lobster look like it just threw a punch? Trust me, I got the better of him in the end!
I'll post more later about the class, the project we're tackling and the other lovely women in our class. Now, it's time to go get my hands in the clay.

Remember That Feeling?
I stumbled across these photos of a vase I made in early 2007. I had just gotten into polymer clay and was toying with the idea of layering the clay on a glass vase. Of course, I couldn't start with a small vase. No, I had to commit myself to a 14″ tall piece, and I wanted to make it a gift for my best friend, so it needed to be really good.
I learned so much in the making of this vase, and I applied that knowledge to a series of really cool polymer-covered glass pieces. My friend still displays the vase proudly in her living room. It was created with highly translucent clay, which makes it a beautiful, glowing candle holder. This isn't the best photo, but you get the idea.
I was always into crafts, but never considered myself an "artist" in my younger years. I think this was the first piece that made me believe there might be an artist hiding deep inside me. It still makes my heart seize up a bit to see these photos and remember how that felt. Do you remember the first time you felt that burst of pride in your artwork? Do you remember the piece? I would love to hear your stories.

Punkin Doodle Head
Four years old today.
Four years of wonderful.
Four years of meticulous.
Four years of watching him line up toys, sort things, wash his hands, and change his shirt if oatmeal gets on it. If he gets his sleeves a little bit wet when washing his hands, I know that a new shirt will soon be seen on his torso.
Four years of watching his face light up when food is mentioned.
Four years of observing his infatuation with his underwear. He walks past laundry baskets filled with clean, folded clothes, sees his underwear, can't stand it...so he picks them out of the baskets and goes and puts them in his underwear drawer where they belong.
Four years of listening to his sweet, sweet voice.
Four years of hearing him say, "Mama."
Happy Birthday wonderful one.
You fill this house with peace, sweetness and smiles.
I am blessed to have a front row seat to watch all the days of your life.

Snack Girl to the Rescue!
April 15, 2014 at 10:20 am , by Maggie Niemiec
We at Ladies' Home Journal have been big fans of Snack Girl, Lisa Cain, for years. As a member of our LHJ Health and Wellness Blogger Network, Lisa is always keeping us informed of the latest healthy food news. As for her recipes? Both easy and delish.
Naturally we were super excited when her latest book, Snack Girl to the Rescue!, came across our desk. Whether you're looking to get off the constant diet roller coaster, learn how to eat better on a budget or start to live an overall healthier life, you'll want to check out this book.
Part one is all about encouragement and guidance. Lisa hilariously details her own journey with food and health and shares the little tips that have helped her maintain a healthy lifestyle. She even touches on body image—and not in the way most diet books do. Lisa's approach is downright inspiring.
"If you find yourself staring at your muffin top when you look in the mirror, look up. Look at your face and decide that it is a waste of time to obsess over imperfections that do not encompass or define who you are. I've never met one person whose entire self was constructed around a muffin top." Truth!
Part two of the book is full of simple, satisfying recipes—all for 400 calories or less. Lisa includes meals and snacks for any time of the day. Her recipe ideas are approachable and don't require too many ingredients. We especially appreciate her list of pantry must-haves, as well as a five-day grocery shopping list that's perfect for anyone new to cooking. We can't wait to test out her pumpkin overnight pancakes, airy and easy mac and cheese and homemade skinny fries.
Snack Girl to the Rescue! is on sale today.

Besides the inspiring blog, you can organize a running group and stay motivated by joining the BGR network.

Michael Johnson was the first pick on The Ultimate Fighter way back in season 12 and while he has not lived up to that hype, the talented lightweight is not getting the respect he deserves in the division.
The lightweight division has long been one of the most talent-rich, but it is also a division that is in desperate need of stars. The old guard have fallen on hard times with losses, poor performances or being gone from the UFC altogether.
Johnson could potentially be one of the talented fighters who fill those open slots if he continues on his current path.
Johnson stumbled out of the gates in the UFC by losing The Ultimate Fighter 12 finale to Jonathan Brookins. He then went 1-1 in his next two bouts against Edward Faaloloto and Paul Sass—suffering the loss to Sass.
In 2012, Johnson turned it around.
He started the year 3-0 with three quality wins. Johnson defeated Shane Roller, Tony Ferguson and Danny Castillo. Johnson finally started to put all of his tools together, and his performances showed fantastic upside to the prospect.
Then he fell back into the pack with back-to-back losses to Myles Jury and Reza Madadi. The losses took away all of the goodwill that Johnson built up to that point. He was sent back to the end of the breadline.
After the losses, he was put against Joe Lauzon in a bout that seemed tailor-made for Lauzon's game. Johnson put on a show. He dominated Lauzon from bell to bell. Johnson even earned a 30-25 scorecard from one judge.
The Blackzilian lightweight returned at UFC 168 and knocked the tough veteran Gleison Tibau out in the second round.
That puts his win-loss record at 5-2 since 2012. Currently, Johnson is ranked No. 13 in the official UFC rankings.
Johnson is putting together his skills nicely. His boxing has gotten very crisp in recent fights, and he is able to blend that together with his wrestling to become a very dangerous lightweight. Few in the division have the total skill set that Johnson does.
He is just now entering his athletic prime. A scary, and exciting, thought.
Johnson is still going to need a few wins before he becomes a title contender in the division, but he should be getting more recognition as a potential threat to the division as a whole. He is a fighter who is exciting and is only getting better day by day in South Florida.
Fans need to pay more attention to the talented 155-pounder. 2014 could be a very big year for him.
Johnson can be seen next taking on Melvin Guillard at UFC Fight Night 37.

HoopsHype Germany rumors
Madrid will announce EuroBasket 2015 hosts on September 8. Croatia, France, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Poland, Israel and Turkey are on the list of possible host countries. The Board of FIBA Europe decided to relocate 2015 EuroBasket from Ukraine. The decision has been officially announced earlier. The situation in Ukraine has not changed drastically in the last months so the decision seemed inevitable. TalkBasket
Stephen Holt, who played for the Hawks in the Las Vegas Summer League, has signed to play professionally in Germany next season. The guard from St. Mary's recently finalized the deal. Holt was invited to take part in Hawks training camp, which begins in October, but opted for a season overseas. "Stephen is very appreciative for the opportunity with the Hawks," Holt's agent Darrell Comer of ASM Sports said. "He is very, very excited to play in Germany. He is also very hopeful that he can play for the Hawks summer league team again next year." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bayern Munich is in talks with Baskonia for Tibor Pleiss. The German big man will leave Baskonia according to Josean Querejeta but he is unlikely to join the NBA this summer (Thunder own his rights). Sportando
Daequan Cook should return to Tubingen Walter-Tigers. The former NBA player started last season with Budivelnyk Kyiv and then signed in Germany. Cook averaged 12.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in Beko BBL in 15 contests. Sportando
Q: NBA teams have interest now. The Houston Rockets were mentioned as a team that was interested in your services. Was there ever any chance of signing with Houston? Malcolm Delaney: The Rockets thing was a great opportunity for me, that was official. But with how important I am to the club, how important this season is to the club, it wouldn't had been a smart business decision for the club to let me go. I didn't have an NBA out in the contract. The Houston Rockets thing is something nobody would have ever turned down because, you know, I'm still with a dream to play in the NBA. But FC Bayern, they couldn't let me leave, we're about to play the playoffs, trying to win a title. Any kid or any American basketball player wishes to play in the NBA. This time I couldn't do it. HoopsHype
Q: Are you optimistic that you're going to get it during the summer when free agency comes? Malcolm Delaney: Right now I'm praying that I do. I could play in Europe for 10 years and I won't care if I'm playing in a good situation. But getting the opportunity to play in the NBA would be a big thing for my family and everybody around me. It's still a dream for me. Right now, seeing how close I am, I'm thinking about it a little bit more. HoopsHype
Q: Would you take less money to play in the NBA? Malcolm Delaney: Yeah, I'm willing to do that kind of sacrifice. I mean, it would be a hard decision if I'm deciding between a big European offer and a league-minimum deal in the NBA where I probably won't have the chance to show my game, ending up on the bench. But I can't say that I wouldn't take it. Until I have those two options and I get the feedback from the NBA on what they'd expect from me, I can't say what I'd do. But I'm really thinking about the NBA a lot right now. HoopsHype
Q: Are you going to watch the NBA playoffs? Malcolm Delaney: Of course. NBA playoffs is the only thing I watch (during the season). I haven't watched much (regular season) NBA basketball in the past three years. I have some friends from my city, Baltimore, like Carmelo Anthony, Rudy Gay... I like to follow them. However beause of the time-difference I don't stay up to watch a lot of games. Now I'm a little bit more aware of what it's going on. I try to watch more games see some of the teams where I think I could fit in. HoopsHype
Q: What kind of teams? Malcolm Delaney: I think a fast-paced team. I think the best aspect of my game is transition. This is my first year ever playing just strictly as a point guard. I don't play shooting guard here at all. I'm not the best point guard but I'm a great playmaker. Houston would had been a perfect fit for me. I know a couple of people on the team, the style of basketball they play... I could see myself playing in that system. HoopsHype
Kobe Bryant has been cleared to resume running and shooting and will begin an intense, six-month training program next week upon his return from a short family trip to Europe, sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN. Bryant has been ramping up his activity level in recent weeks as he continues to recover from a fracture in his left knee suffered during the Lakers' victory Dec. 17 at Memphis, just six games into his return from a ruptured Achilles. ESPN.com
While he is in Europe, Bryant will visit the clinic in Germany where he has had procedures on his knee, according to a source. ESPN.com
Alba Berlin, Brose Baskets Bamberg and EWE Baskets Oldenburg are interested in NCAA Champion Niels Giffey. The German forward won his second NCAA title with the Huskies averaging 8.4 points and 3.8 rebounds as senior in college. There were already reports about a deal reached with Alba Berlin but the rumors were denied. Giffey hopes to play NBA Summer League this summer and see if he can get a spot in the NBA. It is more likely that he will start his pro career in Europe and the German bigs are already pursuing him for next seasons. Sportando
Lopez was eventually the one lying on the ground. It was October 2002, and the Timberwolves took on the Boston Celtics in a preseason game at an obscure arena in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Lopez charged into swingman Paul Pierce and twisted awkwardly. He tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee, and writhed on the floor, fearing the worst. It was over. Lopez, who was entering his fifth season, rehabilitated, but never played another regular-season game in the NBA. Living in Miami, he transitioned to television, working for Telemundo as an analyst, but wanted back on court after a while. He had a daughter named Anuhea Alexa, and left the States to play in Europe, suiting up for a team in Oldenburg, Germany. The new country piqued his interest, and he drove for hours on off days, stopping at the Berlin Wall, touring Munich and drinking in Oktoberfest. He was enchanted by the journey. "They walk 10 miles to the woods and suddenly there's a castle," Lopez says. "When you get there they just have beer after beer after beer." He followed the bouncing ball to Spain, back stateside and through South America. International competition always thrilled him, but sometimes the unexpected clipped Lopez. New York Daily News

Hello Milly!
Firstly, I'd just like to say that I only stumbled upon your lovely little blog yesterday and I've been hooked ever since.
It's refreshing to see such a genuine blogger and who puts so much care into what you post! I've been contemplating signing up for glossybox or carmine packages and wondered which one do you recommend? I'm slightly wary about signing up due to the fact you don't know what your getting each month, but that's also what's enticing about it!
Love, Lauren x

@Lauren Smith - thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am so pleased you have been enjoying my blog. It is really hard to say which one to sign up for as of course you don't know what you are going to get each month. I have featured the recent Carmine boxes too so that will give you an idea of their type of box. With both boxes, you can cancel at any time so you could give one of them a go, and then just see how you get on. I am looking forward to seeing and sharing what is in the Carmine Christmas box coming out next week x
