(January, 2001)
As part of its review of departmental Grants and Contributions and in response to a request from Bureau management, the Internal Audit Division (SIV) of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) has undertaken an audit of the Arts and Cultural Industries Promotion Division (ACA). ACA delivers two programs, the Arts Promotion program and the Cultural Industries Promotion program. The audit focussed on the Arts Promotion program's grant award process and the Cultural Industries Promotion activities of ACA.
The Arts Promotion (AP) element of ACA is responsible for the management and administration of six program disciplines:
AP administers grant programs and provides other support to artists and organizations in these disciplines. A seventh program, Cultural Initiatives for War-Affected Children, is also administered by ACA. In addition to the grant budget, ACA's operating budget is between $300,000 - $400,000 per year. Half of this operating budget is transferred to priority Missions for discretionary funding for local cultural initiatives. Other expenditures include travel and consulting fees as AP has responsibilities beyond awarding grants.
The role of the Cultural Industries (CI) unit in the support of culture is essentially to assist Canadian cultural associations and institutions through the export promotion process by:
CI works in collaboration with geographic and trade bureaux, Missions, International Trade Centres, other federal and provincial government departments, cultural associations and arts and cultural industries. CI does not provide grants to Canadian artists. The CI unit consists of four FTEs.
The total ACA grant budget for fiscal year 1998/1999 was $4,694,000 and ACA awards 300 to 400 grants per year. Of this budget, $1,000,000 or 21% is allocated for Special Projects which include Cultural Initiatives for War-Affected Children. To confirm that the grant allocation process for the six ACA controlled disciplines, the audit team selected a random sample of 20 projects to review. However, the file documentation was too incomplete for most of the projects to confirm the process.
The length of time it takes to process applications is a problem in ACA. The same 20 sample projects discussed above were reviewed to assess the extent of this problem. For the sample reviewed, it took ACA 148 days on average to process the applications, calculated from the latter of the receipt and the due date, until their submission for approval. Approval took an average of 28 days, followed by another 40 days for ACA to get the Grant Agreement signed. While delays in signing Grant Agreements can sometimes be due to having to wait for available funds in the next fiscal year, this factor did not significantly affect the average for the sample reviewed. Altogether it took an average of 221 days or just over 7 months to process an application. Due to the problems obtaining documentation referred to above, these timeframes should be seen as estimates.
The key challenge for ACA is the time it takes to submit the recommendation memo for approval. Delays are particularly problematic for initiatives that have a brief turnaround time; for example, when artists are invited to an event on short notice. ACA cites resource constraints as the primary reason for this delay. In our view, however, significant improvements in timeliness are possible with better management and control of the process. Specific recommendations are included within.
The same 20 projects were assessed for compliance with Treasury Board criteria as set out in the December 19, 1980 Treasury Board Submission Class Grants in the Field of Academic and Cultural Relations and departmental criteria. Two exceptions were noted:
There are many areas of overlap in the mandates and operations of CI and Canadian Heritage's (PCH's) Trade and Investment Branch that have arisen since PCH has expanded into areas that were traditionally part of CI's mandate. While this duplication of roles has resulted in confusion among CI stakeholders, the situation should improve as collaborative efforts between CI and PCH are increasing and the respective roles are now being defined.
The audit identified three notable perceptions on the part of CI staff:
These perceptions relating to the attitudes of others in the Department may be pessimistic. Interviews with stakeholders including geographic and trade bureaux, DFAIT Team Canada representatives and Missions indicated that CI is highly successful in providing service to its clients. Without exception, they indicated that the role played by CI is important and this service should continue to be performed. ACA plays an important role with respect to the "Third Pillar" and its staff are seen as professionals who are experts in their field.
Of more concern is the consensus among Departmental stakeholders and ACA that many firms in the cultural area are not "export-ready". Helping these firms become export-ready is seen by ACA staff as the responsibility of PCH, consistent with the DFAIT's "Borders in, Borders out" approach. As CI and PCH work to define their respective roles, this responsibility should be more clearly focussed.

Hi, Weedman - I know such a forum has been considered here in the past, but the idea didn't meet with much approval if I remember correctly.
If you haven't already done so, you might want to check out slashdot and/or osnews. They're already setup so that you can debate, insult, flame, and threaten others, or have those things done to you, should that be your preference.

If you want to debate Linux versus Windows, there are plenty of other forums on which you can do it. I for one don't think a designated "flamewar/win vs lin/insult the poster above you" section is a good idea at all. Just my two cents. It's up to J.

So Examiner is shifting from simply selling display ads to selling the value of its ability to project stories beyond the confines of its own site. Examiner coaches its writers on deploying social media to broaden the influence of their stories. In the marketing business, using social networks is now considered a form of "earned media"—that is, it's more akin to publicity, like an appearance in a news article, than to an advertisement or paid product placement. "Thirty years ago, if you got a story into Sports Illustrated about your product, that was 'earned' media because you didn't pay for it," says Woerner. Today, earned media includes messages that go out via Facebook, Twitter, and blogs. "Marketers have to be willing to give up a little control." Woerner also said,"The key for traditional media is how they're engaging with their audience. They got used to the role of the gatekeeper. They need to invite the audience in."
To attract ads from Iams, Procter & Gamble's pet-food company, for example, Examiner invited (but didn't require) its writers who focus on animals to write about pet adoption and shelters; just as importantly, editors encouraged writers to distribute their stories via social networks. Iams didn't control the content, but given how innocuous the Examiner's coverage of animals tends to be, the company was unlikely to be troubled by photo galleries of adorable homeless puppies and feature articles about courageous German shepherds. About 840 writers responded with more than 5,200 articles and additional posts on social-media sites linking back to the stories. Those extra links from Facebook and Twitter to Examiner stories helped drive up advertising rates. Site executives say that ads sold in this effort get CPMs of more than $11, as contrasted to their usual display ads that get CPMs of $3 to $5.
Most other online news organizations are also establishing fan pages on Facebook, setting up Twitter feeds, and encouraging readers to share links. They are doing this not just because the networks are where the audiences are, but because they think social media will bring readers who are more engaged than those who come through search engines. At Gawker, Google-driven traffic "is waning," says Pettigrew, the marketing director. Facebook is now the top referrer, and Twitter is gaining. But it wasn't easy for Gawker management to come to terms with social media. "We didn't want to join in the 'fan-page game,'" she said, lest readers become more accustomed to accessing its stories from Facebook than from Gawker's home pages. "You want to own the distribution." But eventually, Facebook's power as a traffic-driver won out. "You can't ignore the way people want to access content."
Vadim Lavrusik, former community manager at social media site Mashable, says that "readers who come through social are far different in their behaviors. They tend to view more articles on average and stick around the site longer." Facebook and Twitter visitors spent 29 percent more time on Mashable.com, he said, and viewed 20 percent more pages than visitors arriving via search engines.
Similarly, at The Atlantic's website, "The percentage of referrals from social nets is coming in at about 15 percent. And it's growing," says Scott Havens, vice president of digital strategy and operations. There's a wide array of social sharing tools on TheAtlantic.com, including Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and Reddit. The Atlantic has also started using Tumblr, a microblogging platform that allows anyone—from individuals to media companies—to post text, photos, and videos. It has a distinctive visual format and is another way to drive engaged traffic. Newsweek.com also uses Tumblr, including links to a wide variety of sources. By doing that, the magazine can "introduce people to Newsweek who would never read it" on its site or in print, says Mark Coatney, who worked at Newsweek before joining Tumblr in 2010. And he says that while Newsweek's Tumblr audience is smaller than the audience it gets through Twitter or Facebook, its readers are more engaged.
The argument about whether it's more important to build large audiences or engaged audiences has not been settled. Two news organizations that haven't jumped on the engagement bandwagon are New York magazine and Newser. "The notion of engagement has been touted for a number of years," says Michael Silberman, general manager of nymag.com. "This is not important in driving our business. We want to grow uniques"—that is, the number of users—"so we're really thinking about the scale. Secondarily, we want to drive page views." He might change his mind if nymag.com decided to start charging for online access, but that isn't on the table for now. "Engagement only makes sense in a subscription model," he says.

on January 30, 2012 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
The recent announcement of Richard Branson, the world-famous entrepreneur best known for his Virgin brand empire and his passion for adventure sports, as the headline speaker at the upcoming Global Entrepreneurship Congress has generated a significant amount of attention and interest. Meanwhile behind the scenes, a broad cross-section of delegates are planning their trip to the Congress in Liverpool, looking to see what they can learn about fostering startup ecosystems that can accelerate their nation's talent to introduce new disruptive ideas and firms that turn them into innovations that change lives and drive markets.
Today, City AM, a London-based daily that provides financial and business news, ran a piece from me that looks at the increasingly crowded race and the reasons why so many countries are in it. Here is an excerpt:
"Entrepreneurship promotion is no longer hopelessly intertwined with the discussion of "small and medium enterprises" (SMEs). Instead, it is now focused on building resourceful systems that accelerate any nation's talent to introduce new disruptive ideas and firms that turn them into innovations that change lives and drive markets. Such an effort is screaming for cross-border collaboration and leadership and the Global Entrepreneurship Congress – occurring this March in Liverpool – promises a global conversation on how to get there."

So we decided on a name for our baby girl, we want to name her Grace Mariellyn (Mariellyn being my husband's mothers name and pronounced Mary Ellen) and we are going to call her Gracie. I was so excited to start telling people and when I told my sister in law on facebook I get a message back saying that she spoke with her husband and they both would rather we did not use the name Grace since it is their daughters MIDDLE name. WTH who are they to be telling me what I can and cannot name my child. I am beyond pissed. It would be one thing if we were wanting to use their daughters FIRST name, Which I would never do. I am so ready to give her a piece of my mind! How would you feel about this situation and or handle it? because I am NOT going to change the name!

I have never heard such nonsence really though its pathetic.
If I were in your shoes I would tell her straight it's not like your using her daughters first name, she's being petty and so is her husband!!
Good on you not changing your daughters name I wouldn't either haha!
That came up in our family as well but with my side of the family with a boy name ...my brother loved a name that we were considering for our baby if it was a boy and we just agreed it was first come first serve lol...they were not expecting either and luckily it never was an issue because we are having a girl!
Thank God I am not alone! It is petty if you ask me and my husband is just as angry as I am. My sister in laws who arguement is her daughters name is Emerson Grace and they wanted her to be able to use the name Grace as a first name if she decided down the road she doesn't like the name Emerson. But our daughters live 100 miles away from each other would it be soooo much trouble for them to make her go by Emerson when she is around her cousin the 3 times a year we see them?
So you can't call your daughter her name because your SIL's daughter might not like her first name that her and her husband named her?? then they should of thought about that before naming her then!
I think that's a lame excuse she's being silly haha!
My eldest's son's middle name is jamie and a few years later my SIL had her son and called him Jamie I would of never of dreamt at saying anything like that to her she would of just laughed at me anyway.
Stand your ground and don't change your daughters name it's a beautiful name :)
I think if you asked most peoples opponion they would think she's being petty too.
I know that is what I was thinking, If she liked Grace so much she should have just given that to her for her first name. I have already spoke with my mother and my husband and they both agree it is ridiculous, and I know 99% of the population would be on my side. I know this same situation has happend more than once on my side of the family, Not one person has even dreamed of having a problem with it or making an issue out of it. My sister in law just likes to be in control and that is all this is...She also had an issue when we were naming our last daughter because we were throwing around the idea of Emma and she of course thought that was too close to Emerson...and since we decided we didn't want to use the name Emma on our own since it was so common we let it go with out a fight, maybe we should have put her in her place back then!
It seems to me as though she is jealous always having something to say when telling her your names for your daughters.
I could understand her having something to say if Grace was her daughters first name but not her middle name it's laughable.
Will you message her back or just leave it?
This may have something also to do with the fact that she wants to have another baby and her husband said no. She has two daughters, and maybe the fact that I have 4 kids is rubbing her the wrong way. I am not going to message her back today, I need some time to cool down if I were to write one now I may say something I will regret later. And I agree with you if I went to her and said we are naming our baby Emerson she would most certainly be able to have a problem with it, but I would NEVER do that! My husband and I are going to stand our ground and if she wants to have a problem she is welcome to but I am not going to pay any attention to it!

Good for you, stand your ground! Just sounds like she's jealous and is trying to control the situation. That is EXACTLY why we do not reveal our names until birth. My SIS in lawSSS would do the SAME thing! Good Luck
Yep lesson learned! I wish we would have have waited to announce it! Thanks it feels good to know that so many agree with me and I am not in the wrong for "stealing" her daughters middle name lol
Good luck anyway!
Remember that it's problem not yours if she wants to be petty over it.
This is the orginal message
I spoke with Chris and while we certainly don't want to start anything we would rather you did not use Grace. You are obviously free to do what you wish but we do use Grace on a regular daily basis and like i said purposely used it in case she decides one day she doesn't care for Emerson or she wants a more professional name someday. Feel free to use Sue if you want as it is a family name and we really only use that for Annaliese when she is in trouble. LOL. If she ever wants to shorten her name it will be Aliese or Ali. Even a name like LilyAnn was fine since you were going to call her Lily and Ann is obviously part of your name too. Can't wait to meet her no matter what her name ends up being!
I caved and wrote her back...this is what I wrote
I am going to be completely honest here and this is hard for me since I hate confrontation, but I feel like this is too important not to stand up for myself. Two parts of this message have really gotten to me, first of all I would never have one bit of an issue with someone in my family using one of my children's middle names, I have never once heard Emerson called Grace alone, and if she wants to be called Grace down the road that's fine, who cares they will never go to the same school and most likely will never live in the same town. so I just don't understand what the big deal is. My other issue is that I feel that it was pretty condescending when you said "feel free to use Sue" maybe that wasn't your intention, but you made it sound like you were giving me permission to use a name that we have every right to use in the first place. Bottom line is and I say this in the nicest way possible, this is no ones decision but Dan and I. It would be one thing if we wanted to name our daughter Annaliese or Emerson and obviously we would not do that out of respect, but me personally if my brother came to me and said I am going to name my child Catherine, James, or John I would think it was really cool. I don't want this to become a problem either, but we are going to stand our ground because this is a name we are both in love with and I am not going to settle for something I don't love, just because someone has a problem with it.
And this is what I got back....*sighs*
What I meant when i said feel free to use Sue as a middle name because i understand it is a family name and we do not usually use it much. And having two kids with the same middle name isn't a big deal at all. and only said it If you changed to a different name and decided Sue fit better than Mariellyn did. We believe that if someone family or close friend has already used the name that it is polite to ask if they mind. We actually have a friend with a daughter named Addison which is the other name we considered had considered with Emerson. We asked if they minded if we used it. Guess that's just always been our train of thought when it comes to names....not trying to sound condensending at all. just how we view it. I apologize if that is how you interrupted that. As far as Emerson Grace. We do sometimes on rare occasion call Emerson just Grace...but Chris calls her Em Grace more times than not these days. I tend to go between Em, Em Grace, Emme Grace, and Emerson. When we named her we actually chose Grace in case she someday didn't like Emerson and wanted a nice girly name. I have several family members who go by their middle names so it wasn't anything new to me. She may never go fully by Grace. But there is a possibility that she might want to someday. While they wouldn't be in the same school more than likely, we would have two Grace's in the immediate family at get togethers, etc... Chris and i are not having a baby now or maybe not ever but a boy was always going to be James David after both grandfathers and call him JD. But when Dan married you, we have always said that was not an option anymore out of respect for you and Ryan. That's just how we feel about it. you and Dan do not felt the same way. Neither way is right or wrong but we do feel differently about it. Like I said, you are free to name her what you wish. But I felt the need to stand up for ourselves as well as we do use it on a regular basis and we will not discourage her from using it as a first name if she should ever want to. Now you know how we feel about it. It's up to you what you do from here.
For reference James is my first son Ryan's middle name. I give up on trying to reason with her...I could not care less if she uses my sons middle name for her son if she ever has one...I am not that self absorbed and I told her that so whatever...she can have her panties in a twist all she wants I am DONE WITH THIS

What is HHP?
HalfHourPower is thirty minutes of explosive maneuvers designed to burn fat, tone muscle, and give you your best body ever — in half the time of a traditional workout. HHP uses a unique set of industrial bands to teach you balance and stability while developing core strength and reactive speed and power.
Reactive Core Training: The Secret of HHP
Conventional training puts you on your back to train your core, as with the sit-up or bench press. But we don't live our lives on our backs. We live and play from a standing position. In a standing position, core, legs, and arms all work together for balance and power. Train your core the way you live—standing. And bands can train every aspect of standing functional movement, including speed, power, flexibility, balance, and strength.
The HHP class
The HalfHourPower class is 30 minutes. All sessions start with a five-minute dynamic warm up, and move on to 25 minutes of intense sprint workouts targeting the upper and lower body as well as the core. The workouts change every two weeks. With HHP you will burn fat, lose your belly, and get in the best shape of your life using the exercise secrets I teach some of the top professional athletes in the world.

The A's tried going to battle with two left-handed first basemen.
Now they are trying it with one left-hander and one right-hander.
Kyle Blanks joins the A's Friday in Cleveland as the right-handed hitting first baseman, joining Brandon Moss, the lefty. Daric Barton, the other lefty at the season's start, has been designated for assignment to make room for Blanks.
It never seemed to make much sense to outsiders to have both Moss and Barton on the roster at the same time unless one was going to be the DH and one was going to be the first basemen and both were going to play against both left-handed pitchers as well as right-handers.

Final Thoughts
I'm a huge fan of Sapphire and I really love what they're doing these days in thinking outside the box. Sometimes I feel they're spending a little bit too much time doing this and forgetting about some much loved series like the ATOMIC when it comes to the video card market, but none the less, they've shown us a great X58 motherboard and mini PC.
The P67 Pure Black, though? - I'm just not feeling it like I have many of their other products. Don't get me wrong, it's a good board, but the market is full of good boards. The problem is, the market is also full of great boards and at $229 US the P67 Pure Black doesn't seem as strong as its competitors.
You get this overall feeling that while Sapphire have really got a great grasp on what's happening with the X58 platform, they're still finding their feet with the P67 one. The issue of our network port falling over when we upped the BCLK was a pain and with the X58 Pure Black being such a good overclocking board this just seemed like a really random issue to be present.
A good chunk of the expense on the board would have to be the Lucid integration, but it seems like a lot of marketing jibber jabber, versus a feature that you would really make use of. If you wanted this feature then it's not a bad price at all, but the amount of people who will want it are going to be smaller than the people who don't want it.
We see plenty of great products from Sapphire and we see plenty of great motherboards from other companies. The P67 Pure Black while being a good motherboard, isn't a great one. The fact that Sapphire has shown us something so strong with the X58 Pure Black as well means that the company is more than capable of offering us something killer. They just really need to find their footing in this segment.

Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
If stitch was a target over on the Buzz ride I bet scores would go up 100%.
Alien Encounter was awesome. The robot in the pre-show was much better than the new one too. Stitch is boring for me. When they made it a Stitch attraction I just kind of felt let down because an original Disney attraction was replace by a movie based attraction. It is funny how the best attractions at Disney are based on original ideas but they insist on making so many attractions based off of popular movies. The only good ones based off of movies are based on classics not recent films ex: Splash Mountain, Peter Pan, Mr. Toad (RIP) etc.
I enjoy rides that the whole family can enjoy together. Stitch fits that bill, but AE did not meet that criteria. Therefore, I prefer the Stitch ride. However, if I am in the MK alone I would bypass these rides.
never fear...DISNEYMATT IS HERE!!!
I never got to ride AE cuz I was WAAAAY to young, scared, and obsessed with princesses to even try. I LOVE Stitch!!!! Other than the chilli cheese burp I had a great time! I was laughing the whole attraction!

I never got do AE either and I wish I could have because it looked so cool, but for some reason I never did it. I think they put it in the wrong park,maybe if they put it in DHS it would still be here because something that intense didnt belong in Magic Kingdom. I dont think Stitch is bad, I'm afraid to say it but I thought Stitch was actually kinda cool! but I've only done it once and I've had plenty of other times I could have done it again so that says something.

Enrique Pacheco is a professional cinematographer from Spain. He has been working in video production for more than 10 years, but Enrique's career changed when he moved to Iceland. There he started to specialize on time-lapse and DSLR cameras, exploring the raw landscape of Iceland and shooting some of nature's most volatile subjects, such as active volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, and the traditional culture of Iceland.
Some of his latest short films have been very successful in Vimeo. "Shaped by Time", "Made on Earth" and "The Maghreb are all long-term self-productions made with great effort and passion.
Since 2008 he has been conducting many different workshops in DSLR and time-lapse photography in different countries..
Since 2011 Enrique is working for Getty Images. That has proven to be the best opportunity to keep shooting what he likes and making it profitable at the same time. Sounds like every filmmaker´s dream!
Enrique Pacheco is sponsored by Sony Spain and Kietacam.
I think I was born to be a photographer. I've always had a passion for capturing images, but it was not until I was 18 when my father gave me his Nikon F2 Photomic and ever since I've been devoted to photography. At the beginning documentary photography attracted me most and that led me first to study directing of documentaries and later cinematography. So here I am now – with one foot in the photography and the other in the filmmaking. Time lapse is involving both of these worlds and for that reason it has become especially captivating for me.
Why did you move to Iceland?
For the first time I went to Iceland in 2008 due to an environmental conservation project. During that summer I travelled around the island and got to know the local culture. I was fascinated by the landscape and people so thereby I decided to return and settle there for a while. During the last three years I have been dedicated to my work in Iceland and I couldn't be happier! It has been an endless source of inspiration for me. Shooting a video or time lapse photography in Iceland is a unique experience. I have also managed to make a profession out of it – becoming an expert in the field, discovering locations and taking advantage of the best hours of light.
The first experience I had in conducting a workshop was with youngsters. I was very pleased to see how my skills became useful for others. Sharing my knowledge with beginners and advanced photographers is one of the greatest pleasures for me as a professional. For the last two years I have been teaching workshops of both DSLR video and time lapse. Iceland is where I have a lot of experience but at the moment Spain is where I am requested the most. A safari in Tanzania and workshops in Costa Rica are the plans for the near future.
Technology is changing rapidly, opening up photography to more people. How do you feel about that?
I think it's great that the availability of technology has expanded the use of tools for creating art. It is true that there are more and more people active in the field of photography and a lot is produced on a very low level. But it has also enabled a lot of people to show their creativeness and excellent skills and given a chance to distribute their work with the help of the Internet. Today the access to professional tools is not a restriction. If you're good at what you do you have great opportunities.

I found working with Enrique on the Gotye music video "Eyes Wide Open" to be a great experience, working remotely on a technically difficult project he delivered exactly what was briefed in and more. I found him extremely professional, committed and easy to communicate and do business with.
Barbro Rakos
Producer (Alaska)
As a teacher, Enrique keeps the processes of photography, filmmaking, and post-production transparent and accessible. When you are on set with him, he encourages and welcomes your abilities, and shares what he knows with you as an equal. He invited all the students into deeper levels of the work, teasing us to push our boundaries and try new things. I also watched him successfully negotiate a challenging creative direction discussion, and learned a few things from that. Good communication is invaluable in this kind of work.
The skills and relationships I gained from this workshop were worth every penny, and the experience of traveling through remote parts of Iceland are priceless.
Enrique is an unusual combination of artist and professional, who is wiling to share and teach what he knows. I would highly recommend these workshops to anyone who is looking to build skill and nourish a deeper commitment to the passion of creating images, as well as make a few friends and have great fun doing it./em>
Raz Nitzan
Musician (Netherlands)
Working with Enrique was a pleasure! An uncompromising professional approach and great results to support it! Enrique knows every hidden corner of Iceland and most importantly how to shoot it! With over 300,000 views to date – we are extremely happy with the Dark Matters Quest of a Dream Video!

Dr. Murthy has been trained in two medical specialties.
Having studied Child Psychiatry, Dr. Murthy has been trained to provide care for children suffering from psychiatric disorders or disabilities by utilizing specialized knowledge of child biology and psychiatry. Dr. Murthy works in conjunction with the child's family to understand and diagnose the disorder and subsequently provide a comprehensive treatment plan to manage child's condition.
Pediatric psychiatry is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment and management of psychiatric disorders in children. The scope of treatment provided by pediatric psychiatrists can range from learning disabilities and behavioral disorders to mental illnesses. Child psychiatrists often interact closely with the parents or guardians of the child throughout the various stages of diagnosis and treatment.
When evaluating and diagnosing children, pediatric psychiatrists may gather information about behaviors and symptoms in a variety of ways; diagnosis may occur over one or more sessions. The diagnostic stage may include personal observation of the child during one-on-one or family sessions, speaking with parents, teachers, other physicians or social workers, and by analyzing the child's medical history (including family history). Child psychiatrists may also employ a variety of psychological tests to diagnose children, such as intelligence and personality assessments. During these tests, the psychiatrist will attempt to observe any behaviors exhibited by the child, including inattention, distractibility, avoidance, and hyperactivity, among others that will help to arrive at a diagnosis.
After a diagnosis is made, the pediatric psychiatrist will take the time to provide feedback to the child and parents/guardians. This generally includes educating both the patient and guardian(s) about the diagnosis, as well as explaining the proposed treatment recommendations. Personalized treatment plans may include various forms of therapy (behavior, problem-solving, family, parent training programs, etc.) or the prescription of medications, as well as consultations with primary care providers.

Having studied Psychiatry, Dr. Murthy has been trained to diagnose and treat the various types of mental illness, which may include depression, eating disorders, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders, among other psychiatric illnesses and disorders. Dr. Murthy is trained to provide various treatments, including the prescription of medications, different forms of psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy, among other techniques.
Psychiatry is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of mental illness. Physicians who practice psychiatry are referred to as psychiatrists; psychiatrists differ from psychologists in that they are licensed physicians (hold either an MD or DO degree). Psychiatrists are able to provide most of the same treatments to patients as psychologists, but are also licensed to prescribe medication when treating mental illnesses. It is often said that psychiatry is the "primary care" of mental health and wellness.
When providing care to patients, psychiatrists employ a variety of tests and examinations to arrive at a diagnosis. When first meeting a patient, a psychiatrist will perform a mental status examination (MSE). During this diagnostic procedure, the physician attempts to identify the presence and extent of a patient's mental illness. The psychiatrist will observe and document the patient's state of mental health, which includes observations of the patient's behavior, appearance, speech, mood, thought process, cognition, thought content, insight, affect and judgment. After performing the examination, the psychiatrist will be able to arrive at a diagnosis.
Psychiatrists may see patients for mental disorders and illnesses such as dementia, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), schizophrenia, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, drug abuse, addictions, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, phobias, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), among many others. After arriving at a diagnosis, the psychiatrist may employ a variety of treatment techniques and procedures. These may include counseling, psychotherapy and the prescription of medications such as antidepressants or antipsychotics, among others.

Welcome to another episode of the Green Garage. I'm here with Phil from PacWind. We're going to put one of these wind turbines up here to make electricity and explain to us a little bit of what we're doing here.
Well, this is a Delta II, and this was created in Torrance, California. It's an American-designed by the way. This is 1 of 4 turbines that have been handcrafted by us, and we're gonna come in here and install this [unknown] so we can have a little green energy here on us.
Yeah, and probably you can add to it. That's what we hoped to do. It's just--
Yeah. But it's just-- you put it up in the wind, you collect the energy from the wind, and it just kind of rotates the generator and we get DC power.
Right, right.
So, a very simple operation.
In explaining this-- I mean the real key to this one is the magnet cause there's no-- you don't open this up, you don't lubricate it, no oil or bearings; you don't do any of that.
No. These are-- this is a standalone system. We've spent a lot of time trying to revolutionize the design for generators, and the only thing that really made that happen was the rare-earth magnet.
Without the rare-earth magnet, generators would be pretty much the way they've been for the last hundred years.
Explain to people the difference between a regular magnet and a rare-earth magnet.
Well, the rare-earth magnet is about 60 times stronger than a ferrite-- standard ferrite magnet we've played with these children.
Right, right.
These magnets, you have to give them about as much respect as you would get poisoned or dynamite.
So, yeah, we could-- we couldn't play with these magnets, they would-- they would harm us. So we have to be very careful in putting these generators together. But then, that's what gives us the power. Without these magnets, [unknown].
So a generator this high, what kind of power we got?
This generator can actually produce about 12-kilowatts. We put it up, through all the way to its maximum rpm.
But I'm in a normal like out here. We're here in Burbank, California. The wind is blowing.
Let's say 10-- between 7 and 20 miles per hour all day. What kind of power we make?
We can cruise along at about 2,000 watts and we can probably get up around 5,000 watts in a nice dusty day, and then if you had storm conditions, you can just see the power start to rise. So like I said, give me a call when you have--
you have gale force winds coming. I'd like to know how much you're making.
Yeah, we can plan on the wind typically coming out in the afternoon and the evening, and that's when solar panels pull away.
Right, right, right.
Okay, well, let's start putting this thing together.

Westminster College business majors Joshua Bradley, Jennifer Louth, and Meghan Zaczkiewicz ranked 36th out of 2,927 teams worldwide by achieving a 43.9% return on equity in The Business Strategy Game for the week ending April 29.
Working together as "Team Bana Cana," they are students in a class taught by Dr. Jacque King, Westminster assistant professor of business. In addition to Bana Cana, nine other teams in two of King's classes are entered in the semester-long competition.
"Each team member is an excellent student," King said. "Together they have proven their ability to compete on the world's stage in a business environment."
Bradley, a senior business administration major, is a son of David and Pamela Bradley of Tyrone and a graduate of Tyrone Area High School.
Louth, a senior business administration major, is a daughter of Kirk and Vicki Louth of Conneaut, Ohio, and a graduate of Edgewood High School.
Zaczkiewicz, a junior international business major, is a daughter of John and Colleen Zaczkiewicz of Corry and a graduate of Corry Area High School.
This semester's competition involves nearly 3,000 teams from 210 colleges and universities around the world. Each week, the best-performing teams are measured on four performance variables: overall score (current year), earnings per share, return on average equity, and stock price.
The Business Strategy Game is an online exercise where class members are divided into teams and assigned the task of running an athletic footwear company in competition against companies managed by other class members. Company operations parallel those of actual athletic footwear companies who compete in a global market, selling athletic footwear in four geographic regions-Europe-Africa, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
All aspects of The Business Strategy Game parallel the functioning of the real-world athletic footwear market, allowing students to think rationally and logically in making decisions and receive valuable practice in making a variety of business decisions under circumstances that mirror real-world competitive conditions. Visit the website for more information.
Contact King at (724) 946-7163 or email for additional information about Westminster's participation.

Compare prices
Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Score the skin of the duck, place them skin-side down in a cold heavy-based frying pan. Turn the heat to high and let the duck slowly warm; this will render the fat from the skin, so you get a better texture and flavour, about 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to the boil and add a dash of the oyster sauce to it. Boil the bok choi for 2 mins until wilted, drain and set aside. Reduce the heat under the duck, cook for a few more mins, then remove from the pan. When cool enough to handle slice the duck thinly.
- Pour 1 tbsp of the fat from the duck into a wok with the oil and place over a high heat. Throw the duck in to the hot fat and let it cook for 3 mins until coloured. Add the bok choi and oyster sauce, stir well, simmer for 2 mins and serve.
