Re:End of Life Decisions - Do we make them wisely?
Reply to End of Life Decisions - Do we make them wisely?: End of life decisions: How do we improve process? We thank Dr Cohn for his response to our paper and for voicing the issues it raised for him. Certainly one of the objectives of the study was to explore whether there were differences in approach to similar medical disorders in NICUs across Canada. We hoped that our finding of differences in what appear to be medically similar disorders would cause physicians and teams to reflect on how they come to EOL decisions and why variability exists. We agree that the working environment of an NICU may be a major factor in such decisions and defined the term 'ethical culture' of an NICU as the prevailing ethical consciousness and sensitivity to moral issues in an NICU. This, we believe is understood by the health care professionals as the readiness to engage in ethical discourse, the respect given to diverse views and values, the past experience of the unit and the awareness of the group as to the normative boundaries of deviation in ethical decision making. Although we, together with Dr Cohn, can only speculate that this 'culture' does have a strong influence on individual and team behavior, we were not able to probe this further via the design of our study. Only with very detailed, multidisciplinary (including parental perspectives) description of individual decisions one may be able to uncover how decisions are derived and to what degree they are a manifestation of "this is the way we do things here". As to the concern that consensus may have been achieved in the face of junior members of the team or even parents feeling unable to voice dissent, we specifically asked each responsible neonatologist to comment on the ease of the consensus-building process. We trustingly accepted their description on a spectrum of difficulty. As to the concern of how each individual deals with medical uncertainty, we hope to explore this aspect in a deeper analysis of the study findings. What we cannot agree with is Dr Cohn's "solution" that "ethics panels" judge these matters. It is not clear what is envisaged but a spectrum of bioethics committees and consultation services do exist in North America and elsewhere. Such committees may be decision making or more likely (certainly in Canada) more procedurally oriented in helping teams elucidate values, preferences, and the rightful voices to be heard to ensure fair process and help teams determine the ethical defensibility or vulnerability of different options. There may be other committees in which panels judge decisions but in Ontario this would only come into operation when intractable differences exist between parents and the team as to the best interest of the newborn infant. Here the Consent and Capacity Board can be called into action when the parents' role as substitute decision makers is questioned or the parents seek an alternate pathway to resolution of difference with the team. We firmly believe the safeguards Dr Cohn seeks remain in the integrity of neonatal physicians, parents and teams deriving decisions by open sharing of values, clarification of issues, moral reasoning and negotiation towards consensus (with bioethics consultation when necessary).

Handheld Doppler use for measuring newborn HR has been described in the literature
We read this article with considerable interest as it confirms that Precordial Doppler Ultrasound (PDU) can detect the neonatal heart rate within seconds of birth, much earlier than is possible with oximetry and much more reliably than with auscultation. As the authors state "Handheld Doppler use for measuring newborn HR has been described in the literature" (by Goenka et al and by Hutchon) "but needs further investigation before being used clinically.". Dyson et al chose to use a Hadeco Smartdop 45 (Hadeco--2-7-11 Arima, Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki, 216-0003, Japan), which is a bidirectional handheld Doppler usually used for measuring arterial and venous blood flow in the extremities although it can also detect a fetal HR. In 2014 we demonstrated the use of a readily available and low cost dedicated fetal doppler machine and found the 2mHz probe readily detected the neonatal heart rate when placed on the chest(1). We reported on the Contec Sonoline C2 Pocket Fetal Doppler which also provides a digital display of heart rate and records the signal for subsequent computer download, and documentation and review.
We have also shown that if the transducer is separated from the hand held probe of the machine and connected with light flexible wiring, the lightweight transducer can sit on the neonate's chest held in place simply by the surface tension of the ultrasound gel. This allows hands-free use and avoids the risk of excessive pressure by a handheld probe on the neonate's chest. The position of the transducer on the chest is not critical and can easily be adjusted. By aligning with the skin the transducer automatically scans at 90 degrees.
Precordial Doppler Ultrasound (PDU) can be readily adapted to provide a measurement of the neonatal heart rate at caesarean section without compromising the sterile surgical field. The Doppler machine is connected to a bluetooth transmitter and placed inside a sterile polythene bag ensuring that transducer is coated in ultrasound gel and in contact with the wall of the bag. The transducer can then be handled by a member of the scrubbed team and applied to the neonatal chest through a further application of ultrasound gel. The signal is received by a matching bluetooth receiver outside the sterile field. This can be used to provide an audible signal to the neonatologist and team and recorded for documentation and audit.
For the preterm neonate at risk of hypothermia it is important to avoid exposure of the skin and PDU can be carried out through the recommended polythene wrap without the exposure of the neonatal skin required by ECG or oximetry.
Although we reported on the Contec Sonoline C2 Pocket Fetal Doppler, other machines without a recording facility have been shown to be as effective. After a few minutes when oximetry is functional the PDU becomes redundant.

Re: Water births: adverse events for the baby are rare but devastating
We are grateful for the interest in our paper and the opportunity to refute the suggestion that it is falsely reassuring. Our paper provides a fair and accurate representation of the best available data; it concludes that "this systematic review and meta-analysis did not identify definitive evidence that waterbirth causes harm to neonates ... However, there is currently insufficient evidence to conclude that there are no additional risks or benefits for neonates".
It does indeed state that "existing evidence is not strong enough to examine the relative risk of rare and potentially devastating adverse events" as well as citing the risk of aspiration in a compromised baby who was born gasping (paragraph 8).
It is incorrect to suggest that the susceptibility to bias of different study designs was ignored and that results are reliant on poor quality retrospective studies. The entire meta-analysis was repeated, for every outcome, using data only from randomised controlled trials. These results were entirely consistent with the primary analysis and are available to view in supplementary file D.
There are a number of ways to examine safety and capture rare, serious adverse events. The merits and drawbacks of each approach must be carefully considered before any future study. We recognise the limitations of prospective cohort studies and agree that a large, adequately powered RCT would be ideal to determine the safety of waterbirth. However, there are significant ethical and practical issues with randomising enough women. In one UK pilot, of 40 women randomised to water birth, only 10 delivered in water.[1] The National Institute for Health Research recently called for an observational study to address this question and stated the design 'should not involve randomisation given the rarity of adverse events'.[2]

Re: Current debate about the limit of viability: the neglected majority
Neonatal mortality in poor countries
We appreciate Dr. Berger's astute observation that most of the babies in the world do not have access to neonatal intensive care. His statistics underestimate the extent of the problem. Around the world, 7 million infants die each year. Most die of diseases that are preventable or treatable. Their deaths are due to lack of access to the most basic medical care. This is not unique to premature babies. Most health outcomes are better in wealthier countries. This is a serious problem of distributice justice.
We would suggest, however, that resource allocation decisions in both poor countries and rich consistently favor adults and older children over neonates. The systematic devaluation of neonates, prevalent in high- income countries, also exists in emerging economies. For example, the Disease Control Priorities Project, an ongoing effort to produce evidence- based analysis and resource materials to inform health policymaking in developing countries, suggests that the death of a 20 year old is worse than the death of a neonate: "An individual life acquires value only as it acquired self-awareness [...] an individual life acquired value as it develop bonds with others." An Institute of Medicine (1985) review of vaccine development priorities judged that the prevention of a death at age 20 should be valued at about two times the value of preventing an infant death. Some studies suggest that the lives of older people are worth three or four times the value of the life of a baby.
Our comment focused on the data from a study of NICU decisions in France. We suspect that we would find a parallel phenomenon at a different point on the cost/age curve in lower income countries. It seems unlikely to us that the solution to infant mortality in poorer countries is to let more babies die in richer countries. Instead, the solution is to insist that, throughout the world, babies' lives should be valued as highly as those of adults and older children.

Current debate about the limit of viability: the neglected majority
It is with great interest that I read the editorial entitled "Delivery room practices for extremely preterm infants: the harms of the gestational age label" by Janvier and Lantos (1) analysing the results of the EPIPAGE-2 study (2). The two authors question the appropriateness of the French non-intervention approach towards infants born at 22, 23 and 24 weeks for whom NICU admission was withheld in 96%, 91% and 38% of cases, respectively. They emphasise that such policies do not just reflect outcomes, but also shape them. In addition, they highlight that three common arguments for non-intervention policies are severely flawed: treatment of extremely preterm infants is neither futile nor too expensive, and the majority of survivors are not disabled. They conclude that taking life and death decisions based on 7-day-periods of gestational age is scientifically flawed and ethically questionable.
While I agree with their arguments for industrialised countries in principle, I feel uncomfortable when I consider them from a global perspective. In 2015, an estimated 2.8 million neonates died worldwide; 99% of these deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) (3). In these countries, the vast majority of infants born at less than 28 -30 weeks' gestation die: this means that the limit of viability for most neonates who are born prematurely is at least six weeks above the limit discussed by the editorialists. Even for more mature infants with respiratory distress, birth asphyxia or infection the prognosis is grim in most LMICs. In this context, Janvier's and Lantos' view that "treatment of neonates born at 22 and 23 weeks is clearly not futile" appears flawed. Most of published research in neonatology focuses on improving outcome of neonates born in industrialised countries. Neglecting the fate of the majority of neonates born worldwide is what is truly ethically questionable.

Water births: adverse events for the baby are rare but devastating
The overall tone of this systematic review is to reassure the reader that waterbirths are safe; this is not justified by the results which rely almost exclusively on extremely poor quality retrospective cohort studies. Different study designs have significant differences in their susceptibility to bias and the authors have largely ignored this issue. Larger, non-randomised studies, more prone to bias, carry more weight ; no meta-analysis should have been done with these data.
In contrast to the use of immersion in the first stage of labour, waterbirth confers no benefit to the mother or baby and puts the baby at unacceptable risk; current trials are too small to rule this out. Adverse events for the baby are rare but devastating. A hypoxic-ischaemic fetus will aspirate water when gasping while immersed.
The authors have deemed that a large, prospective, cohort study is an acceptable approach to determining the benefit/harm ratio for waterbirth. Such non-randomised studies are prone to significant bias. The control group would be fundamentally different to the waterbirth group, and such differences would undermine the major principle that both groups should be as similar as possible with respect all other factors that may be related to treatment and outcomes except for the intervention. With non-random assignment in a cohort study, equally eligible women with different risks for adverse outcomes will be assigned the intervention group (consciously or unconsciously) based on how the women themselves or their caregivers perceive the risk of adverse outcome -large numbers of women enrolled in this way will seriously imbalance the treatment groups with regard to factors affecting outcomes.
An appropriately sized, good quality RCT with longterm follow-up remains the only reliable way to assess both the efficacy and the safety of waterbirths.

I was a peer reviewer for this paper.
Staffing in NICUs is more that a 1:1 nurse to patient ratio
I read the article by Watson et al and the accompanying Editorial. While it is an interesting concept to link nurse patient ratios with mortality this does not take into account the individual nurses and their experiences. I would challenge the authors to demonstrate how retrospective data measures acuity and nursing experience. The authors presented the 1:1 ratio as measured by the percentage of ICU days where there was one nurse per patient. Realistically each patient has a different level of acuity and this will determine the nurse to patient ratio. However even with a one to one ratio each nurse also has a different level of experience. With the critical shortage of nurses in acute care areas in both the UK and Australia the practice is to recruit less experienced nurses and many NICUs take first year nurse graduates. How these nurses are supported and supervised to provide a level of safe practice would be a more meaningful measure to link with mortality or indeed morbidity in this vulnerable patient population.. If there is inadequate supervision from senior nurses or clinical nurse educators then the novice nurses learn from each other, indeed an unsafe practice. Perhaps a more useful measure would be for researchers to assist clinicians in auditing practices so we know what is actually being practiced and then look at morbidity and mortality as an outcome. As an experienced neonatal nurse I would challenge researchers that mortality is not a reliable measure of nursing work - we need to develop a set of outcome measures that are meaningful measures of nursing work in the NICU. By clinicians and researchers working together we can then strive to ensure the NICU is a safe environment and we would have measures to improve practice and outcomes for the infants and their families.

End of Life Decisions - Do we make them wisely?
Hellman, Knigthon et Al and Carter in the accompanying editorial raise many issues dealing with the end of life care of sick newborn babies. Although consensus within multidisciplinary teams in each centre is recorded as being achieved relatively easily, the wide variation between centres in how each deals with the issue of withholding life saving treatments, particularly where there are 'quality of life issues' underscores a wider lack of consensus amongst practicing neonatologists.
This raises a number of issues. The most challenging of which is why, when there is such variation between units is there such agreement within them? This could be because like-minded people work together, or more likely people who work together become like minded. More disturbingly, it raises the possibility that the consensus may not be as great as perceived with particularly junior members of the decision making team- perhaps even the parents- feeling unable to voice dissent.
A further issue is the weight given to medical opinion in making ethical and moral judgements. In common with most doctors, I received little or no formal training in ethics. I can use technical language to make my forthright opinions sound ethical, but in an era increasingly asking for evidence I have little to back these up. Historically the medical profession has not always cloaked itself in glory when trying to play society's moral arbiter. We can often lapse into a language of certainty and authority which makes it difficult for others to challenge our positions.
I have another difficult personal issue, which being late to the table I have only just realised. In common with most doctors of my generation I was not encouraged to think about why I do what I do. I see that there are many different types of doctors, many of us in hospital seem to be 'fixing' doctors in that we see ourselves as people that make problems better. If we could cope with uncertainty and some degree of failure we may be in different specialties. Patients that will not or cannot be fixed can challenge me as a doctor and make me feel in some way 'undermined.' In these situations I worry that decisions that I make or recommend may be as much for my benefit as they are for my patients or their family. As a 'fixer' it is easier to discard rather than live with broken things. These are incredibly complex feelings to acknowledge but they certainly do exist.
The obvious solution, as is available in much of North America and other countries in the world would be to establish Ethics panels who could judge these matters. These could be hospital based, regional or supra regional and would include members with proper training in Ethics and legal knowledge. Undoubtedly their deliberations would be heavily informed by medical evidence and input, in much the same way that medical input informs but does not make, safeguarding decisions which are ultimately in the gifts of the courts and their agents. This would provide safeguards for patients, families and the medical teams who look after them.

Incostintencies in defining "Work of breathing"
We read with great interest the recent article by Shetty et al (Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed 2016;0:F1-F4) who showed that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) in infants with evolving or established bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have similar effects on work of breathing (WOB).1 Like many other articles in this field, Shetty's paper unfortunately suffers from inconsistencies in defining WOB, which we wish to clarify. The definition "WOB" used throughout the paper, as a proxy for respiratory effort, seems misleading insofar Shetty et al actually assessed not WOB but the pressure time product (PTP) of the diaphragm (PTPdi). WOB and PTP, expressed either as esophageal pressure PTP or PTPdi, are two independent physical variables that address distinctly different features related to respiratory effort. In physics, the term "WOB" refers to the work done during each respiratory cycle and is mathematically expressed as WOB = ? Ppl x dVt. The Campbell diagram depicts the dynamic relationship between these two variables.2 In respiratory physiology, WOB describes the energy required as inspiratory flow begins to perform the task of ventilation. The term WOB might therefore be inaccurate to indicate the actual effort necessary for the patient to breathe, because it overlooks the energy expended during the isometric phase of respiration (muscle contraction without volume displacement). More properly, Shetty et al determined PTP, a variable that directly measures energy expenditure during the dynamic and isometric respiratory phases. PTP comprises the average inspiratory pressure starting from the onset of respiratory effort and the end of inspiration (Pavg): PTP = Pavg ? Ti.3 Because research into respiratory mechanics in spontaneously breathing infants is an exciting new field of study that increasingly attracts students, researchers, and physicians we need a concerted effort to clarify terminology that they might find confusing. Especially confusing is the tendency to use WOB as a proxy for respiratory effort when the variable measured is actually PTP. To prevent further confusion, we suggest defining respiratory effort in a consistent manner, keeping WOB and PTP as the variables for quantifying it physically. We hope that the research community will support this proposal and look forward to reading articles that put it into practice.

Bulgarian Ambassador to France Tipped as Most Likely Caretaker PM
Bulgaria's Ambassador to France Marin Raykov has been tipped as the most likely caretaker Prime Minister.
Raykov was Deputy Foreign Minister in the government of Prime Minister Ivan Kostov (1998 – 2001), after which he was appointed Bulgarian Ambassador to France, dnevnik.bg informs.
When the center-right GERB government assumed office, Raykov became Deputy Foreign Minister, but in 2010 he was yet again sent to France as Bulgarian Ambassador.
The panel of Bulgaria's caretaker government is to be announced at 4 pm on Tuesday by President Rosen Plevneliev.
President Plevneliev and the caretaker Prime Minister are to make public statements.
The caretaker government is to prepare the early elections scheduled for May 12.
One week ago, Plevneliev announced that the caretaker government would include three Deputy Prime Ministers.
The caretaker government is to function under the motto "For Europe, for democracy, for economic development," Plevneliev declared.
On February 21, Bulgaria's Parliament approved the resignation of the government of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and his ruling center-right Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party amid unprecedented protests against unbearable utility bills, monopolies, and wide-spread poverty.

Private space venture Orbital Sciences Corp. launched its second resupply mission to the International Space Station in a perfect launch from at Wallops Island, Va, after several delays.
The Antares rocket, carrying an unmanned Cygnus resupply capsule packed with 3,293 lbs. of cargo, including food, science experiments and small satellites lifted off from Wallops at 12:52 ET.
Wallops' mission control reports that "the Cygnus spacecraft is safely on orbit with solar arrays deployed."
At a pre-launch briefing on Saturday, former NASA astronaut and Orbital Sciences CEO Frank Culbertson said the company was "real proud to be part of the team that is keeping the station flying and providing the crew with cargo and research they need."
By way of background, Space.com says:
"Orbital [Sciences], which is based in Dulles, Virginia, has a $1.9-billion contract with NASA to carry out eight cargo missions through 2016. Elon Musk's SpaceX, the only other commercial company with a NASA resupply contract, has been commissioned to fly 12 missions to the station under a $1.6 billion deal.
"The mission, dubbed Orb-2, was originally scheduled for May. It had been postponed due to conflicts with other launches and technical issues, including the failure of an AJ26 engine — the kind that powers Antares' first stage — during a test at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, which prompted an investigation.
"Then this week, the mission was repeatedly delayed because stormy weather prevented Orbital's launch team from conducting normal operations to get the rocket ready on the pad."
Antares made its first successful flight in April 2013.

The Asus PG278Q will be the second monitor to feature Nvidia G-Sync.
They didn;t quite tell the whole truth. VESA do mention the potential for varying the VBLANK timing in standards documentation. What the standards don't mention is a set method of reacting to that variance. It is perfectly within the standard for a monitor to just display "NO SIGNAL", show garbage, or show duplicate frames if it gets odd VSYNC timings. There's no requirement for monitors to handle arbitrary VBLANK triggering, so the vast majority don't. I'd bet money that the demo laptops (Satellite Click) they used in their freesync demo will only work due to having one specific model of panel, and if another panel (of equivalent LVDS timings) were substituted it would not function.Hasn't AMD tried to say that G-Sync is pointless?

GoodData on Thursday announced Vice President of Product Marketing, Jeff Morris, will be speaking at Cloud Expo on June 10, at the Javits Center in New York City. As a Bronze Sponsor of the conference, GoodData will share insight on best practices for business intelligence and data governance.
Jeff Morris will discuss "Data Governance and Data Discovery" during the Big Data and Analytics track on Day 1 of the conference. The panel will take place on the expo floor of the Demo Theater booth and will be streamed live on GoodData's website and recorded for on-demand viewing.
Jeff Morris session details:
Data Governance and Data Discovery - June 10, 4:00 - 4:35 pm
Most companies only analyze subsets of their business data and fragmented data in several places - there is nothing "big" about that. By freeing IT time and resources, the process of analyzing your data can be streamlined, ensuring that all the data is in the system, complete, and available. With the operations, implementation, and data management outsourced and IT teams being used as dedicated shepherds of data into and out of the system, executives get the smartest data at their fingertips.
Business Intelligence is a huge market. It is more important than ever to understand that projects are still built by small teams of BI specialists. The future - and to a great extent uncharted territory - is generated BI applications. With hundreds of applications, each of them is slightly different. We have already seen this happening in different parts of the IT industry. We have witnessed what has happened to operations, even in small teams, and their ability to command large IT infrastructures with hundreds of machines. Can we learn from looking at what approaches worked and what tools were adopted, and then do something similar for analytics?
"The mission of Cloud Expo aligns with GoodData's commitment to eliminating cost and complexity," says GoodData founder and CEO Roman Stanek. "We are excited to share our customers' success and demonstrate how companies can become 'all data enterprises' using data from any source to gain a competitive advantage."
Serving more than 40,000 companies and 130,000 users worldwide, GoodData supports a variety of customers in a broad range of market sectors, including technology, digital media, retail and ecommerce, travel, and professional services. The company recently announced its end-to-end Open Analytics Platform, a complete data governance and discovery platform-as-a-service that manages every aspect of modern business intelligence, from big data management to visual analysis. More details on GoodData's Open Analytics Platform can be found here.
Recent IDC research predicts that the volume of enterprise data overall will increase by 650 percent over the next five years. Cloud Expo therefore aims to bring the best IT minds together to discuss the most significant trends of the year: Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, Big Data and DevOps through "Power Panels" as well as an Expo floor with two Demo Theaters. Attendees can expect to be hands-on with solutions and offerings, and talk one-on-one with the top Cloud, IoT, Big Data and DevOps leaders to learn how their solutions can benefit attendees' organizations.

Maybe it died from barfing, sneezing and farting all at the same time. I'm trying to imagine where you would find a cylinder of the right size to serve as the base frame; maybe we're judging this too harshly, maybe its supposet to be a footstool or something.
I suppose you'd have just left that bench in unupholstered.
Including the majestic møøse
The main difference between this and "The Mystery (S)hack" is a bottle of eyeballs?
"He looks so peaceful."
The best name that I've read for this is "Taxiderpy".
They should have left the genitals on that chair-sitting fox. Or faked a set. Because with that expression and with his paws positioned like that, a be'wanged version would be totally perfect for sneaking onto a shelf or dresser of someone's bedroom while they were sleeping.
Needs a little speech bubble as well…
"Its not gonna suck itself!"
if i didn't fear my wife murdering me in my sleep for doing so, i would buy all of these. I love it so much.
Don't forget the Gripsholm Lion!
"Stay outta my shed"
I really am crying tears of laughter & sadness. Seeing these… Things… Makes me feel more for the animal lives they had… I mean, of all the things to die for…
…and be *immortalized* as!
(I can't help feeling for them, too – such a waste.)
I want to point out that Something Awful took it a step further by putting these stuffed animals into hilarious Photoshopping here: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/bad-taxidermy-nature.php and http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/taxidermy-nightmares.php
Fox = Want!
i like to imagine that this is EXACTLY what they looked like when they were alive and moving, which was why they had to be killed, mounted, and kept forever.
This has inspired me to donate my corpse so they can make a Trollface outta me.
Is that Vince on the right corner? I know a Vulpus c***itcus when I spot one.
They should bring Mongrels back on TV soon! 2 seasons wasn't enough.
ThinkI hear the coyote saying: "Stimpy, you eeediot!"
Also the Something Awful goons have nicknamed the fox, 'Giggles'.
Yep, not Chuck Testa.
http://youtu.be/LJP1DphOWPs [youtube]
Not one Norman Bates reference? BB really is catering to another generation these days, isn't it?
Sweet Jesus, these are fantastic!!
This one's from the Museo de La Plata, where I work. It's supposed to be a vizcacha (Lagostomus maximus), just saying in case anyone wants to google it to see what it should look like :-P
Yes, "Taxiderpy" is the best name for these. Frightening, but hilarious as hell. That fox…

An influential US rabbi 'comes out' as an LGBT ally
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
He is quite right – it is a life or death issue in play here. Socially acceptable institutional homophobia is causing injury and loss of life to the young and the vulnerable and it is time that religious denominations saw and accepted their role in that – and took strong steps to correct the damage.
"One of the most crucial roles of faith leaders today is to go beyond our comfort zones.."
Bravo that man. If only more people within the Church of England thought the same then people wouldn't be walking away from it in the droves.
Words can't express how I admire and love this this man for as he says "Coming out in support."
Thank God for this man of God for taking a stand as a gay ally of LGBT people, who can see that anti-gay religions are harming God's children in the name of their religions. LGBT people need more allies like him to stand up and help support the saving the lives of LGBT people around the world. It is a sin to do nothing when you see the gay children being destroyed by evil and to do nothing to stop it. Shalom
How nice. Two years of queer teen suicides, and he's noticed. And he's "an ally" for what, exactly? Marriage equality? Employment non-discrimination? Equal housing?
The details, please.
It is worth noting that the large Jewish Lobby in the USA is linked to the Republican Party in the same way that the Irish Lobby is associated with the Democrats. Some Jewish Republicans have even supported marriage equality.
You're partially right. There are conservative US Jews who are more comfortable with the Republican party and who support LGBT equality in some and sometimes many aspects. However, on the whole, US Jews seem fairly liberal and are either independents or associated with the Democratic party.
Thank you Rabbi, you have shown that leaders can fight for what they believe in! They do not have to live in fear of standing up for what is right. You make me feel proud to be a Jew and hope for a better tomorrow!
Articles like these have inspired me to make a website/blog to help in this fight!

The Shanghai Shipping Exchange's Shanghai Containerized Freight Index surged 36.7 percent since last week's reading to a reading of 752.65, with rates on the Shanghai to Northwest Europe trade jumping 77.4 percent to $1,206 per TEU.
The shipper advocacy group said some carriers and other service providers to the shipping industry appear to be exploiting the new new verified gross mass rule by imposing exorbitant and unjustified charges for 'administration fees' and other 'services.'
An American Shipper poll of shippers and forwarders revealed that nearly 90 percent believe at least some cargo will be delayed by the verified gross mass rule that went into effect globally today.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Port of Portland, Ore. Executive Director Bill Wyatt told the Portland Business Journal low crude oil prices have caused trucking rates to drop well below expected levels, making direct container service to the Puget Sound region less economically viable.
The Puyallup, Wash.-based shipping company's last call at the Port of Portland, Ore. will be Saturday, May 21.
Continued weighing at port facilities might provide a convenient way for exporters to comply with the upcoming International Maritime Organization verified gross mass container weight regulations due to go into effect at the beginning of next month.

Whitelock in, Retallick out for the All Blacks
Related Links
Relevant offers
All Blacks
Bringing lock Sam Whitelock into the starting XV for Brodie Retallick was a no-brainer according to All Blacks coach Steve Hansen.
Retallick has been ruled out of tomorrow night's test against France in Christchurch with a hamstring strain meaning Whitelock will make an early return from injury after missing the first test with a broken finger.
There was speculation uncapped reserve lock Jeremy Thrush might be promoted to the starting side, but Hansen said Whitelock was an obvious choice after being given a medical clearance.
"We've got a plan for Jeremy he's done a loot of work on that plan this week so we d didn't really want to disrupt what we want to do with bringing him off the bench at some point," Hansen said.
"Sammy is our number one lock along with Brodie and Luke [Romano], all three of them rotated last year so it was the obvious thing. As soon as he [Whitelock] go the all clear we put him straight in."
Though Whitelock was initially ruled out of the first two tests of the series, Hansen said his finger was no longer an issue.
"It's pretty good I think, well good enough that he got the all clear. He's chomping at the bit, he can't wait to get out there.
"When Sam was made available, he's a world class lock so you wouldn't lose the opportunity to use him if he's fit and available."
Hansen did not think Whitelock was underdone as he had trained with the squad this week and taken part in the majority of yesterday's team run.
"We have a policy of everyone prepares to play so when you do get hiccups, which are unavoidable, guys just slot in and Sam's been good."
There had been no thought to using Blues flanker Steven Luatua as blindside cover off the bench, and nor would a replacement player be called in to the squad as cover despite Retallick being ruled out for three to four weeks.
"The thing about hamstrings is you just don't want to have them re-occurring so that's why you take a length of time to get them right," Hansen said.
"He's [Retallick] really gutted as you would be, but that's rugby isn't it. That's probably the first time he's had a wee hiccup in the last 24 months so he's dealt with it and now the big focus is getting his leg right."

We want to make requesting translations easy while providing cost effective solutions that exceed your expectations.
Corporate Translations is pleased to announce that it is now a proud member of the RWS Group, a publicly traded company located in the UK.

As the number of multinational clinical trials has grown over the past two decades, another
type of revolution has been taking place – namely the rapid development and adoption of
translation technology, such as computer-assisted and machine translation. What do these
new tools mean for pharma?
In early 2014, one of the world's largest CROs ran an RFP in search of a single global translation solutions provider to replace their existing vendor because of the quality problems they had experienced. The CRO selection criteria were based on the translation vendor's proven processes, their demonstrated expertise in life sciences, and their ability to collaborate with their clients. Corporate Translations was awarded the business and selected as the preferred supplier.
The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that subjects aged 65 and above are less likely to comprehend Clinical Outcomes Assessment (COA) questionnaire items during cognitive debriefing interviews of translated questionnaires. A common perception exists that subjects in upper age groups are less likely to comprehend...

Good 3.6 /5 from 73 reviews
Very nice hotel, very close to the old town, close to the bus stop that shuttles between the city and the airport, absolutely fabulous complimentary breakfast. Will definately stay again next time in vienna.
The location was the best part about this hotel. The room was small as we barely had a place to set our luggage. We had to climb over the toilet to shut the bathroom door or get to the shower. The hotel seems like the decor was once elegant, but now seems outdated. The breakfast was marginal.
The staff was almost nonexistent and completely unhelpful. The room was not clean and beds uncomfortable. The bathroom shower was ridiculously small (2ft x 2ft). You could hear everything from our room (not helpful when trying to sleep). Breakfast was overall not edible. Although most of the room and hotel was aweful the location was great.
Hotel Luxembourg was a great little hotel that was just off of the marina and coastal road. It had shopping, restaurants, siteseeing and tours all within easy reach. My room was nice, bed was comfy and it was pretty quiet, considering it's location. They didn't have parking but there is a 24-hour parking garage in the alley behind them.
Exellent time at fine, quiet place.
