Tuesday, April 18, 2006
By the time Carla Best awakened from surgery, the Iraq war's first female amputees had long moved on. Best had been injured in 2004, but for months, doctors had been trying to save what was left of her disfigured leg. In June, they finally amputated it.
Not long after her surgery, a nurse pointed out an envelope on bedside table. Best opened it to find a get-well card with a note that promised an understanding friend. "We female AKs have to stick together," the card said.
Best understood that "AK" is part of the parlance of the amputee world -- it stands for "above knee" -- and she recognized the name of the card's sender: Melissa Stockwell, a young lieutenant who was the Iraq war's first female combat amputee.
To Best, Stockwell was the very picture of can-do determination. Injured at 24, she endured 15 surgeries on her amputated leg, and then took up skiing, biking and most of all swimming -- a sport she had never before embraced but now pursued with ardor. Stockwell aspired to compete as a swimmer in the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing. In the meantime, she and her husband had moved to Minnesota, where Stockwell had thrown herself into a new career -- in prosthetics.
As Stockwell put it: "You don't sit in a room crying. You get up in the morning and put your leg on."
For Best, the example was heartening.
At 29, Best was a mechanic by training who had made rank as a sergeant and embraced Army life. She had been in Iraq four months when she got her wish to be part of a mission away from her base in Baghdad. The mission had barely started when her vehicle was blasted by a roadside bomb. Both her legs were severely injured, one almost severed.
The night before her leg was amputated, Best took photos of it as a kind of goodbye, knowing she would never see herself with four limbs again. "There was a lot of fear in not knowing what was going to happen," she said.
Months later, she found herself alongside her role model -- first at a triathlon event in San Diego, then at the New York City Marathon.
On a hand-cranked bike, Best muscled her way along the 26.2-mile marathon course. It was not easy. Her tire went flat three times. A rim nearly fell off. But she was exhilarated to be out in the sun and to feel the wind of her own forward movement.
She whirred across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, through all five boroughs of New York, in the shadow of skyscrapers, toward Central Park. At the finish line, she saw Stockwell, done with her own race.
"You did it," Stockwell cheered.
Best hopped up on one leg and hugged her, giddy.

You have a great idea and want to bring it to market; fast! Crowdfunding is a proven way to raise capital and go-to-market at the same time. But, don't launch a crowdfunding campaign without a clear strategy and agile plan including three key components.
Who, What and How
Generally speaking, marketing strategy is concerned with whom you're selling to and what you're offering them. A third component is your go-to-market plan that I touched on in an earlier SEW article. Go-to-market is all about how you will accomplish desired results.
From a crowdfunding perspective, you'll work with available content, offers, channels and relationships in order to engage and influence consumers, businesses and media people. This requires weeks or months of preparations well in advance of releasing your crowdfunding campaign to the public. An appearance on a TV show with more than 5 million viewers will certainly help.
Enter Gary Gagnon of Rekixx and ABC Shark Tank Season 3
SEW talked with Gary Gagnon about the challenges of raising capital AND going to market at the same time. Gagnon's journey started in August 2011 at a Las Vegas shoe show to do market research. Then, his initiative moved to the first Kickstarter campaign in December 2011 that did not get funded; Gagnon admitted he was not prepared.
Next, he appeared on ABC Shark Tank in May 2012 and set-up a second Kickstarter campaign – with months of preparation behind him – to be in sync with his Shark Tank appearance. After a year of hard work and more than $40,000 in crowdfunding results, Rekixx sneakers will begin shipping to customers in December 2012.
15 Go-to-Market Takeaways from Rekixx and Other Crowdfunding Campaigns
- Write down details about your audience and segmentation. Understand the needs of consumers and influencers you're preparing to engage.
- Create an exceptional product or service with a value proposition that is easily understood and appealing to your audience.
- Ideally, create and protect intellectual property via patents, trademarks, copyright, website domains, etc. This will enable you to create value and be more transparent with crowdfunding.
- Research and organize a list of influential media people (social and traditional) to engage and share campaign info. When the campaign is live, comment on key blogs and websites about campaign info/links and invite people to learn more.
- Organize current contacts via customer relationship management (CRM) and/or email marketing tools to help with inbound and outbound communications across channels; minimum – use a spreadsheet.
- Create a compelling crowdfunding video and pitch. Be brief and engaging with a story, and be clear about what you want and are offering others.
- Secure funding commitments from family and friends in advance of your public crowdfunding campaign launch. This will help round out your story and credibility early in the process.
- Make it really easy for anyone to find, write about, and share your story across all channels. Leverage SEO and content development experts before you launch and during the campaign.
- Use social accounts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit, LinkedIn, etc. Be where your target audience is online; balance frequency with relevance.
- Plan a few short updates in advance to keep conversations going and the community informed. Include visuals like photos, screen shots and videos, and be available to share campaign news and surprises in real-time.
- Have some surprise pledges/perks for the last days/weeks of your crowdfunding campaign. Don't max out offers at launch time.
- Use simple offer messages that are easy for backers to understand and act on. Focus on what backers get in terms of exclusivity and value via the campaign.
- Be responsive and timely with questions about the campaign. You're also setting the tone for future community engagement and customer satisfaction experiences.
- Review your content before launch. Send files and/or a campaign preview link to family and friends to read thoroughly and share candid feedback. Tweak content during the campaign based on feedback or lack of action.
- Be fully committed (24/7) to the success of the campaign.
Preparation Drives Success
Bringing a new product or service to market always has its set of challenges. Layer in raising capital – the primary objective of crowdfunding – and you're in for an interesting ride. Preparations covered above will significantly increase your return on investment, and reduce costs and stress for everyone involved.
Yes, it's easy to organize and launch a crowdfunding campaign with many user-friendly platforms to choose from on the web. However, to successfully raise capital and bring a new product or service to market via crowdfunding, focus on who, what and how before you push the go live button.

PARIS — A second high-style/low-price hook-up took place last week from the same source: Tokyo Fast Retailing, which is the umbrella company of the American brand Theory.
Olivier Theyskens, the Belgian designer known for a couture sensibility, has been tapped by Andrew Rosen, chief executive officer of Theory. In the spirit of the Jil Sander/Uniqlo collaboration — but at a middle-market price point — Mr. Theyskens is taking to Main Street an aesthetic that has formerly been seen at the Paris houses Nina Ricci and Rochas.
"I think it is a breakthrough for the next generation — it has to do with clothes that are not so preciously made, but made with great integrity," said Mr. Rosen, who founded Theory in 1997 in partnership with Elie Tahari. "Today, you can't just be good — you have to be great. I want to be proud of the clothes I make."
Mr. Theyskens, 33, admits that he has had problems reconciling his haute design with the frustration that it was unapproachable to his own generation.
"For a long time I have been thinking about affordable fashion — you can be disappointed when not so many people can wear your stuff," Mr. Theyskens said. It was a learning curve to work with Theory to make "a perfect modern look" and take responsibility for its development, he said.
The Theyskens capsule collection, which will be shown in New York in September for the Spring 2011 season, by appointment, will fill the barren middle ground between high street and high end. This is the territory that Mr. Rosen has explored with Theory, aiming for a no-fuss emphasis on wearable, well-made clothes.Continue reading the main story
"I think the space is very crowded and the idea is to find new ways to stimulate the customer," said the executive, who met Mr. Theyskens by chance when he was launching a book in New York.
Eager shoppers have been teased with short-lived collections from major designers ever since Karl Lagerfeld partnered with H&M in 2004, setting off a slew of further collaborations from Comme des Garçons at H&M to the current Stella McCartney line for GapKids.
But if Theory succeeds in bringing designer clothing down to a reasonable price on a more permanent basis, it will help usher in what already seems like the dawn of a new 21st-century fashion era.Continue reading the main story

Why is public relations so expensive? Because you continue to pay the ridiculous monthly retainer fees that firms charge. Without question. You don't even expect them to quantify the return you will receive on the investment they are asking you to make. The reason public relations is so expensive is your fault.
The first question that any PR company asks when you enquire about working with them is 'what's your budget?' And you tell them. At least, you tell them the number you think is the going rate for the cookie-cutter PR 'strategies' most sell comprising a standard set of activities and, let's be honest, very little strategic input. It's like playing poker where you show all of the other players your cards – and then wonder why you always end up losing your shirt.
If you want to make public relations more affordable here are three easy things you can do:
Only you have the power to change the price of PR retainers, by voting with your money. If you refuse to buy in the way that most PR firms sell then they'll have to change. But, while you continue to play their game – a game they've loaded to ensure they always win, PR will continue to cost thousands of dollars every month and continue to deliver little value for your investment.
It's up to you!
Good post! As you know, the economics of the PR industry are driven by long-term engagements given the overhead and profit margins. I tell my startup clients that, at most, they need two or three months of PR help, rather than signing up for long-term retainer agreements. They get what they need, exit stage left, and then come back for more PR when/if they need it.
Thanks Mark. Two problems – the overhead is not necessary; and the profit margins are perfectly reasonable. The problem is that a lot of the profit margin is spent in overheads [usually expensive offices designed to woo customers]. Another problem is that most PR companies sell public relations but deliver publicity.
Startups generally don't need publicity – they need help building relationships with key people. They need to be helped to figure out a strategy that delivers company specific outcomes and they also need to own the relationships [whether with customers, prospects, investors, journalists, influencers…]. The value is in the the strategy and in the relationships they build.
The economics of 'PR' are also, generally, built on a financial model that is built on activity rather than outcomes. Startups have the power to change that – they just need to stop playing the game that the 'PR' industry wants them to play.

At the north-east tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. Aspy Bay beach is a very long stretch of beautiful sand,just a short hop off the world-famous Cabot Trail which encircles the northern part of the Island, and encloses Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The trail was named after John Cabot of Bristol, who is thought to have landed here in 1497, though scholars think he may have landed in Newfoundland. In any case, a park commemorating his landing is right behind where I took this picture. This image shows just a tiny fraction of the beach but I liked the contrast between it and the steep forested cliffs which form the background of much of this coastline.

If you're Welsh & voted Leave - Why?(82 Posts)
I posted this in chat but zero responses so thought it'd best to move it here.
I was really surprised by the Welsh vote, Wales has really benefited from being in the European Union e.g
Swansea University's new Bay Campus was only possible because of the £40 Million from the European Structural Funds which came from a finance package of £60 million from the European Investment Bank.
The National Waterfront Museum, which includes a gallery, exhibition and library, benefited from £3.7m of EU funds when it was constructed.
5.8m of EU funds was made available for Quadrant Intermodal Transport Centre, led by the City & County of Swansea, which replaced the outdated and rundown bus station.
£9.6m EU funds were invested as part of Neath Port Talbot Regeneration project which included schemes to help make improvements in and around the town centres as well as a purpose built Community Enterprise Centre.
1. When you voted did you not care/consider about the financial benefits Wales receives from the EU?
2. Do you think Westminister (that only cares about London/SE) will honestly make up the funds instead?
3. Was it really immigration and if so why? Was it fear of job loss/overcrowding or was it the refugee issue on the mainland. Do you really believe immigration can be capped/slowed down just because we're leaving the EU?
4. The EU army is not a legitimate answer, it doesn't exist & it never will!
5. Are you worried at all? This doesn't mean you regret your choice but are you worried about the economy or the possible breakup of Great Britian? Did you expect that Scotland/N.Ireland might leave because of the vote?
Following as I am also very confused by this. Wales benefits massively from the EU and Westminster will not make up the difference
I'm Welsh but I voted remain but someone in my family voted leave because no one speaks English in one part of town.
I even said are you sure it's not Welsh? & the regeneration of the town was EU funded, the beaches they enjoy going to EU funded to clean & get beautiful again.
Sadly it was more a "get them out & stop them coming here" reasons than actual proper reasons like financials & everything else.
I'm Welsh and voted remain but an acquaintance of mine who voted out said it was because they feel like the poor relation in north wales compared to South Wales (although how not being in the EU will help I do not know!)
Does anyone have any idea what will happen to Wales now? I am very worried about our future with such a significant cut to our funding. If anyone is able to reassure me (with facts) that would be great!
I think you'll be waiting a while nightandthelight....
These weren't the answers I was hoping for 😫😵
Nightandthelight, although it's bloody unlikely, I'm really hoping Westminister steps up to their Brexit promises & makes up the funds.
come on cjamm, do you really think Boris Johnson and Michael Gove will care what happens in wales?
wales is fucked, along with the rest of us
ssd, I know we are 😫 I'm just trying to make sense of why people would do this to themselves? Were their racist, stupid views so important to them that they've done this to all of us.
I struggle to believe that Westminster will give us the funds but I very much hope to be proved wrong! I'm struggling to see a positive future for Wales now. Did people not understand where the funds for regeneration etc were coming from?
I am genuinely bewildered and would love it if people came along and said that they had voted leave for sound economic reasons and that actually there is a plan in place that will see Wales thrive. I just hope the decision wasn't made without knowing the facts!
yes, I thinks thats just it, they want to believe that the forriners have made this country poor, when really its austerity that done that....and now the very people who need the eu laws on welfare and working conditions are in the hands of boris and michael gove and farage, who all want rid of the nhs and the welfare system
The Welsh NHS is already under attack with English politicians describing the Welsh border as the line between life and death (horrifically inaccurate). Obviously health is devolved but with less funding into Wales it will be under increased strain which will only strengthen the arguments for its removal
Just saw a thread on FB where a Welsh person has stated that under the EU we are incapable of making our own laws. Also we don't have to spend so much money on the EU. She also then states that there is more but she doesn't understand/remember it. I really hope not all the leave voters have such poor reasons as that!
she actually sounds quite educated for a leave voter
she'll be writing next that some of the £350 million saved every week can now be spent on wales.....
There's no way BoJo et al are going to make up the losses that the EU granted Wales. Your on your Jack Jones.
I am in Wales and voted leave for the same reasons people in England did. Because the EU is corrupt, undemocratic, does not seem capable of addressing legitimate concerns of people in its member states. Was horrified by how Greece got dictated to by Merkel, Cameron has lied about Turkey joining the EU, I have fears that TTIP will ruin the NHS, I want the right to kick out criminals from the EU without being told they have the right to remain here if they choose to. I want to vote for my govt and vote to remove them. These are not Wales specific issues but affect Wales as much as England.
I'm Welsh living in england and am also baffled. Wales has benefitted loads from EU investment I hope the leave voters realise what a massive blip this will mean for the welsh economy
do you realise how much money wales will lose without eu funding hopearden? or do you think that doesn't really count? or do you still believe that westminster will make it up to wales?
I am Welsh and there are 8 members of my family who work/worked on every one of those projects mentioned on in the OP.
In answer to your question though from what I have heard out and about, the racists turned up to vote.
I am not a leave voter who thinks that the EU is all bad. It has done some good things, but on the whole I do not believe it to be a force for good. I can't vote to remain just because it paid for some regeneration.
Wales could do a lot with the money being pissed up the wall by the EU in paying bloated former politicians like the Kinnock family (amongst many others).
I hope the Westminster govt invests here but we have much bigger problems than scruffy bus stops and poorly funded museums. There is no industry, no work. The EU hasn't helped us there.
I am Welsh and yesterday I was ashamed of my country, I cried all day. In addition to the above, the regeneration of both Cardiff Bay and the Valleys was hugely supported by EU funding - I don't know whether people don't know this, or just don't care. Westminster isn't going to give a shiny shit about us once we're 'out' and we only have ourselves to blame. I personally only know a very small handful of people that voted out, and it would appear it's for the same reasons most people did - with the perception that we are somehow 'taking back' power.
Dw i'n ddigalon iawn heddiw .
So HopeArden do you think a leave vote will create an industry & jobs? Do you think Westminster will actually bother with Wales?
What on earth was the EU suppose to do about Wales' economy that's always been a Goverment issue, the EU was trying to help ease the financial burden on Wales, investing in towns & beaches & libraries that you're so easily dismissing.
I'm genuinely curious on what you expect Westminister to do for Wales now? What do you expect to happen in Wales next?
Not to mention fracking, which was subject to EU law and now isn't allowing companies to operate outside of EU environmental laws, which no longer apply.

A judge recently declared a mistrial in the Bill Cosby sexual assault case after jurors were in a deadlock after 52-hours of deliberations.
But the accusers and social media users who were following the case with many hoping the legendary comedian and actor would be convicted for what he did to the women named in the case, were in total shock after a Judge made his final judgment.
Now, a member of the jury is speaking out about the Cosby verdict, and it seems that two jurors were the reason a conviction could not be reached.
In an interview with ABC News, the juror, who wish to remain anonymous, said that 10 of the 12 jurors agreed Cosby was guilty on the first- and second-degree felony accounts, and only one of the jurors thought he was guilty on a third count. And in the end, two jurors weren't convinced that Cosby was guilty on all charges.
The juror also said the tension in the small deliberation room was at an all-time high.
"People couldn't even pace," the juror said. "They were just literally walking in circles where they were standing because they were losing their minds. People would just start crying out of nowhere; we wouldn't even be talking about [the case]—and people would just start crying.
"I think he broke his pinky knuckle," the juror said about a fellow juror so upset, he decided to punch a wall.
"If we kept going, there was definitely going to be a fight. They had five sheriff's deputies at the door, and they could hear us and they kept coming in because they thought we were already fighting," the juror said.
As previously stated by Judge Steven O'Neill advised the jurors not to speak about the deliberations at the end of the trial, but on Tuesday he ordered the public release of the jurors' names, granting a request by media organizations.
The male juror who spoke with ABC believed that Cosby did take advantage of Andrea Constand after he drugged her in 2004, which set off a civil suit in 2005 and the recent criminal trial.
"I think that he gave [the pills] to her, and then later, when he saw what was up, maybe he figured, 'Maybe I'll do something,'" the juror stated.
Let us know what you think about Cosby's mistrial verdict below….

Today I welcome Vicki Lewis Thompson .She's here to tell us about her new release WEREWOLF IN LAS VEGAS and a little bit about herself. I had the pleasure to meet Vicki a few years ago at RWA National and so glad she's stopping by for a visit today.
Thanks for joining us today Vicki!
Thanks for inviting me! It's terrific to be here.
1) Tell us a bit about your new release, WEREWOLF IN LAS VEGAS. So this werewolf walks into a casino . . . . No, that's not the story! It starts off with a poker game, but that's the end of the gambling part. After that, we discover that a wealthy pack of werewolves do indeed have major holdings in Sin City and we learn how complicated that can be in such an urban environment. I've also created a pairing I've never tried before – Giselle, who's a werewolf, falls for Luke, who's human.
2) Where do you get your ideas? For example Life experience, fantasies, experiences and fantasies of friends, etc. I finally figured out that transformation stories are my favorite kind, and I'm inspired by any story in which someone makes a major change in his or her life. They might be someone I know or someone I read about. The werewolf stories lend themselves perfectly to that because for the lovers to end up happily ever after, they both have to make huge changes in their thinking.
3) What do you find draws you most to write? I write for the love of it –always have – but when I started making money at it, I realized this would be my job. It's my dream job, so I want to keep it. I won't keep it unless I continue to nurture my creativity and spend plenty of time actually writing. Maintaining my career is a huge motivator because I don't want to go back to any of my former day jobs.
4) What else do you have in the works? Cowboys! I'm writing a series for Harlequin called the Sons of Chance. I'm also about to begin a new project for NAL which is still in the planning stages. I'm also self-publishing my backlist of the Nerd series and I've e-published a new one, NERDS ARE FROM MARS. In the fall I'll e-publish NERD OF THE JUNGLE. I have such fun with my nerds and can't seem to give them up.
5) How do you name your characters? Any special tricks? I have three or four baby name books, and my favorite one is falling apart from a lot of use and one unfortunate dip in the swimming pool. Naming my characters is both fun and frustrating. After more than 100 books, I have to be careful not to use the same names too often. I have a real fondness for Jack, but I'll have to retire that one. I've had three heroes named Jack, and each of those books was memorable, so I have to be finished with Jack.
6) Do you own an ebook reader or read on an electronic device? If so, what? I own a Kobo, which I've used a little bit, but I confess I didn't fall in love with it. My plan is to get an iPad mini soon, because I want to jump into this brave new world but old habits are hard to kick!
7) As a romance/erotica reader, what sort of stories do you personally prefer? My reading candy is historicals, especially Regencies, because they're nothing like what I'm writing. It's also fun to read books in which there are no condoms.
8) What's your favorite guilty pleasure? I don't know how guilty I am about doing it, but I'm fascinated with tarot cards. Astrology, too, but I realized in order to become good at astrology I'd have to study a LOT. I can absorb tarot a little at a time without bending my brain too much.
9) Any vacation or appearance plans this year? I'll be at the Romantic Times Booklover's Convention April 15-18! So New Orleans, here I come! Other than that, I plan to mostly stay home and nurture my creativity, although I can guarantee there will be a couple of Disneyland trips in there. A trip to Disney does wonders for my muse.
10) What would your readers by very surprised to learn about you? I have no TV reception! I own a flat screen and a DVD player, but no cable or dish network for this girl. I'm very picky about what I watch, too. I sit in front of the TV once or twice a week at most, and then only at night. I'd rather read!

What is the Dermatology
Review Panel?
Many consumers are confused by claims made regarding consumer products, especially skin care products. The Dermatology Review Panel™, a division of DRP Dermatology Inc. ("DRP") has been formed to provide an independent dermatologists' review of non-prescription skin care products ...
Is DRP a government agency?
- No, we are an independent group of dermatologists that have been brought together to review products to identify if they have scientific data to support the claims made about over-the-counter products. This review does not replace any other review / approval provided by other associations, agencies or government departments.
Who is the Dermatology Review Panel?
- The Dermatology Review Panel ("DRP") is incorporated as DRP Dermatology Inc., a British Columbia company which is headed by dermatologists. The panel itself is a group of dermatologists from across Canada.
Can more than one product in the same category have the seal?
- Yes, the review by DRP is not exclusive to any product. If a product meets our standards, it has the opportunity to receive the seal.
Will I find out which products are not approved?
- No, as there is confidentiality agreement in place that prevents us from disclosing products that do not receive the seal. In some cases the manufacturer may resubmit with additional data and therefore be approved later.
Can I talk to a dermatologist on your Review Panel?
- In order for the reviewers to remain at arms-length, we do not disclose to the public or to manufacturers submitting a product review who the reviewers are. They are dermatologists selected from across Canada, male and female, with a high-level of clinical experience in dermatology. If you have any questions regarding a product, you should discuss it with your own medical professional.
Does the presence of the DRP Seal mean the product is safe?
- Products are regulated for safety by Health Canada. Our review indicates that the product is one DRP recommends.

We all have dreamt of having a luxurious bathroom.
Large jacuzzi tub or a rainfall shower. Gorgeous tiled floor. Vanity large enough for three of you. Because why not?

And that sucks, right? But by doing any (or all!) of these five ridiculously simple ways to improve your bathroom, you can do the best with what you have – without digging into your savings account.

It is a nice feeling when all your homework is done, well most of it!
I have the Stamp-a-Stack bits ready, I have carried out a lot of preparation for the craft fair in June and now I want to play!
Claire, my esteemed colleague, has recently started her blog and just to show us all up she wow'd us with a tutorial! It is fab, called The Fossil Stone Technique. I won't bore you with the details when you can see for yourself here. Anyway, ever since I saw it I have wanted to try and now I have and it's great! It is also worth looking at Claire's blog as she has used the chef in a really ingenious way, it's really fun!)
I used Wild Wasabi and Blue Bayou inks, both part of this years In Colour range. the photo does not show up both colours for some reason, but trust me the great background does have both colours in it!
I stamped the fish from Fishy Friends but wanted them to stand out just a little more, so using an aqua painter and ink from the pads I subtly coloured the fish in so they looked a little more 'solid'. I then layered, lots of layers, (very unlike me, usually I am too stingy!!). I made the bubbly background on the Wild Wasabi and Blue Bayou layers using the set Seeing Spots and stamping with ink the same colour as the card.
Sitting here looking at the original and then looking at the picture it really does not do it justice. perhaps I'll take another picture in daylight.

text: Preparing for your appointment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print If your child is diagnosed with Wilms' tumor, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating cancer (oncologist) or a surgeon who specializes in kidney surgery (urologist). What you can doTo prepare for the appointment: Make a list of all medications, vitamins, herbs, oils and other supplements that your child is taking. Ask a family member or friend to come with you to help you remember all the information provided to you during the appointment. Create a list of questions to ask your child's doctor. For Wilms' tumor, some basic questions to ask the doctor include: What kinds of tests does my child need? What stage is my child's cancer? What treatments are available, and which do you recommend? What types of side effects can I expect from each treatment? Will I need to restrict my child's activity or change his or her diet during treatment? What's my child's outlook? What is the likelihood that the cancer will come back? Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can have? What websites do you recommend? Don't hesitate to ask other questions during your appointment. What to expect from your doctorYour doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Be ready to answer them to reserve time to go over points you want to focus on. Your doctor may ask, for example: When did you first notice your child's symptoms? Is there a history of cancer, including childhood cancer, in your family? Does your child have any family history of birth defects, especially of the genitals or urinary tract?

Acceptance is growing of the idea of comparisons between organisations in the sector, says Tania Mason.
The welfare-to-work charity Tomorrow's People deserves a standing ovation for the trailblazing work it has done to quantify the value of its work to society, published in a 109-page report launched last week at the hopefully auspicious surroundings of the Bank of England.
Of course, it had the benefit of many hours of free help from some highly-qualified consultants at FTI Consulting, brokered onto the project by Pro Bono Economics, but the analysis also required a great deal of extra work by the charity itself. Its chief executive, the affable and effervescent Baroness Stedman-Scott, described the data-collection required for the report as a "stretching exercise" for the organisation.
One of the things it did was to telephone 2,000 former clients to find out what had happened to them after they were found work by Tomorrow's People – whether they were still in that job, had gone onto another job, or had fallen back into the benefits system. This helped to establish the sustainability of the assistance provided by the charity, and meant the analysts were better able to estimate the income tax receipts generated, the savings in welfare benefits, and the ensuing lesser demands on the health and criminal justice systems.
Tomorrow's People now hopes to use this report to persuade funders to stump up more cash so it can scale up its services and help more people find work. It will also use it when tendering for statutory contracts; as the Baroness said, tenders should be awarded based on value, not just on price. And with this report, Tomorrow's People has a great story to tell and proper numbers to back it up.
But the real value of this kind of impact assessment only comes when the numbers can be compared with equivalent numbers from other organisations working in the same space. Public service commissioners can only really make the best judgements on value provided by bidders if those bidders have all undergone similar analyses, using comparable data sets and methodologies. Ideally, funders need to be able to weigh apples against apples.
So confident is she in her organisation's work, Baroness Stedman-Scott is 100 per cent behind this concept. Not only does she want other welfare-to-work charities to follow the lead of Tomorrow's People and report their own outcomes, she wants to see a "social FTSE" in the financial pages of newspapers, ranking the biggest civil society organisations according to the value they provide to society.
In public, few would dispute the benefit of this level of transparency. But the problem is that for every charity that is shown to be highly effective, there will be one that is less effective. That's the nature of benchmarking – some are better than others. And therefore persuading those whose results are less good, to volunteer that information to funders, is like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas.
The Baroness knows this only too well. When she was chair of ERSA, the trade body for welfare-to-work organisations, she tried to convince all its members to publish their outcomes data, but none except Tomorrow's People would do so.
Of course, there are pros and cons to benchmarking and still plenty of opposition within the sector by those who claim that results can be too easily manipulated, often to the detriment of the hardest-to-help beneficiaries. But after many years of utter rejection by charities of anything resembling league tables, a degree of acceptance finally seems to be taking hold. Even the Charity Commission is getting in on the act, looking at devising a consistent way for charities to allocate their costs within their accounts so it is easier for members of the public to discern how much of each donated pound is spent on 'the cause'.
At Friday's report launch, Filippo Cardini from the Towerbrook private equity firm declared that comparisons and benchmarking are perfectly normal in all other parts of our lives, and so civil society organisations must get used to the same scrutiny.
On one hand it seems a bit unfair that charities, set up for the purpose of helping others, should have to justify their expenditure to a public that doesn't seem to give two hoots how private companies, set up to benefit a limited group of shareholders, distribute their incomes.
But at the end of the day the beneficiary is king, and if Charity A can deliver more effective services than Charity B, then their donors have a right to know. In the absence of greater merger and acquisition activity in the sector, it's the best way of weeding out the weak and guaranteeing the survival of the fittest – and ensuring the most effective service models take root.

Bunya is always ready to hunker down for a good head skritch. Humans may be tolerable because of opposable thumbs and the ability to rub both bunny ears at the same time.
About 23 seconds in, Bunya savors one of his favorite place places to be rubbed - along his jaw line. His teeth chatter happily and he starts his automatic licking response (also triggered by rubbing his tushy right over his tail).
Bunnies are very social creatures. If your bunny does not have a bonded mate, you are the buddy. Interact with your bunny every day - and do it on his or her level - the floor, where he feels safest.

Bunya's ecstacy
1 comment:
We pretty much live on the floor, with Lola. But, we're home all the time, with no little ones around, any more. She will wander off to explore, or wreak havoc, as the case may be, then come running back to one of us,, as if to say, "I'm BACK! Did you miss me?" And zoom in for snuggling or petting - or both. When we have dinner, we bring her a salad, because we saw that when we sat down, she'd start hunting around for her dinner. Now, if we forget to get hers out at the same time as ours, she hunts for it, then, on not finding it, her head drops, and she pouts, then just sits and stares at us, until we get the hint.ReplyDelete
Happy binkies!

It's not unusual for genre fiction to offer compelling allegories for our time. It's rare those allegories are so thorny that you need to wrestle with them for a while.
Three movies into its 21st-century incarnation, the "Planet of the Apes" saga has become one of popular culture's most fascinating explorations of humanity at its worst—and, occasionally, its best. In 2014's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, director Matt Reeves crafted a tale that echoes the War on Terror so unsettlingly we don't know whether to root for the humans. Now, with War for the Planet of the Apes, Reeves has attempted an even bolder gambit. The story is told entirely from the point of view of the apes, with the few humans as clear villains of the piece. Even then, there's a lot about the behavior of the movie's protagonist that challenges our notion of what makes a hero.
That hero is Caesar (Andy Serkis), the chimp who still leads the ape troop in the Northern California forest, several years into the plague that wiped out most of the human race. An unexpected reappearance of armed humans alarms Caesar, and an act of mercy on his part leads to an unexpected attack that costs him dearly. When he learns the identity of the man responsible—a relentless warlord known only as The Colonel (Woody Harrelson)—Caesar makes the unfamiliar-to-him choice of seeking revenge.
Any discussion of these movies should begin with a bow to Andy Serkis, whose motion-capture performances as Caesar are doomed to be ignored when discussing great movie acting. His body and eyes provide the frame that gives the CGI-generated chimpanzee his soul, creating a character on whom the burden of leadership always seems to hang heavy. In some ways, Caesar is a model of good leadership: cautious, thoughtful, slow to violence. Serkis plays Caesar as Daniel Day-Lewis' Lincoln in simian form, and the result is just as magnificent.
- You mad?
These qualities make it unnerving when Caesar becomes a force for retribution. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes offered the ape Koba, a radical convinced that there is no co-existing with humans, as a foil to Caesar. Now Caesar shows some Koba within himself.
There's an external threat, too. Harrelson does a fine job portraying the kind of separatist militia leader whose rhetoric makes a discomfiting amount of sense. War for the Planet of the Apes presents a mutation of the "Simian Flu" virus that has begun robbing humans of their speech, and The Colonel views it as an existential threat. "This is a holy war," he says at one point, convinced that speech is a defining part of what makes us human. The fact that Caesar can also speak reveals how personal pain has led the Colonel to abandon a fuller sense of what defines humanity.
All of that is heady stuff, but these movies are not tedious philosophical exercises. Much of the second half of War for the Planet of the Apes becomes a prison-escape movie, full of tension and close calls. The grim tone that Reeves brings to these stories makes it particularly crucial to have a comic-relief character in the form of Bad Ape (Steve Zahn), a chimp who has been living in isolation in an abandoned ski lodge. War for the Planet of the Apes might not be the kind of light-hearted fun we expect from summer movies, but it's adventure with a richer payoff than beating the bad guy: It's about finding the strength to recognize the bad guy in ourselves.
War for the Planet of the Apes opens at Missoula AMC 12 Fri., July 14.

Alonso, who has competed in 276 Formula One races and is a double world champion, is an IndyCar debutant and arrived at in Indianapolis needing to pass a rookie test, which he did with flying colours by recording a top speed of 222.548 mph (358.156 kph).
It was an impressive debut by the 35-year-old Spaniard, considering that
"It felt new to me, it felt a little bit strange driving anti-clockwise at those speeds," Alonso told reporters.
"What I felt in the car was more or less what I expected. What is different now is my excitement of the race itself."
Alonso set the motor racing world buzzing when he announced last month that he had been granted clearance by his McLaren F1 team to skip the Monaco Grand Prix and race in the Indy 500 on May 28 in pursuit of the sport's famed Triple Crown – a Formula One title and Indy 500 and Le Mans wins.

McLaren will enter the 101st edition of the Indy with a Honda-engined Indy car run by Andretti Autosport, owned by former McLaren driver Michael Andretti, in the old papaya orange livery of the 1970s.
Alonso looked right at home at the Brickyard as he slipped into the No 29 car, and was quickly turning laps of more than 200 mph around the 2.5 mile oval.
The rookie orientation programme was the first on-track step for Alonso towards securing a place in the 33-car field.
All first-year competitors in the
During the private test, Alonso ran 110 laps, but it will be a much different situation on May 28 when he will have to contend with a 33-car field.

"Today was just running alone, learning the circuit and all the things that are involved with this technique," said Alonso, who had a run-in with two birds near the end of his session. "I am not driving the car… the car is driving myself around at the moment."
The Spaniard, who is having a difficult F1 season with uncompetitive McLaren, has set his sights on joining Briton Graham Hill as the only drivers to achieve the Triple Crown.
McLaren, the second most successful team in Formula One history in terms of wins, have not won a race since 2012, and are experiencing new lows every weekend, with the engine lacking power and reliability.
The change of scenery and a competitive car put a broad smile on Alonso's face as he seemed to enjoy every moment of his first IndyCar experience.
"To be able to feel the respect of the place, the respect of car, the respect of the speed is something or any racing driver is just pure adrenaline," beamed Alonso. "It was a good day."

Christian Hohenadel finished fourth in ADAC GT Masters
Christian Hohenadel defended the fourth rank in the ADAC GT Masters-drivers championship in the final two races of the German sportscar series at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. In Saturday's penultimate race of the season Hohenadel finished seventh, in Sunday's final round the 33-year German retired after problems with the throttle.
In a wet and very cold race on Saturday, Hohenadel took over the yellow Callaway-Corvette on position 15 from his team mate Toni Seiler halfway trough the race. As in the previous ADAC GT Masters rounds, Hohenadel immediately chased trough the field with some of the quickest lap times in the second half of the race. In very tricky conditions, Hohenadel climbed up the order and after 60 minutes of racing, finally finished seventh.
"Our car was just perfect today,"Hohenadel was satisfied after the race. "On the wet track we had a perfect set-up, this allowed me to chase up to seventh position. Unfortunately we had to start from position 14 into this race. With a better starting position, we would have been able to score a much better result."
In Saturday's race, Hohenadel started fourth on the grid. He gained one position at the start but had contact with a BMW in the very tight first corner. Hohenadel spun and lost ten positions, and continued on 13. position. With his yellow Callaway-Corvette, Hohenadel was on the hunt to regain the lost position, but was handicapped with throttle-problems. When he was already back in ninth position, the throttle stuck again and Hohenadel went into the gravel and was forced to retire after a contact with the tire barrier.
"Right from the start, I had problems with the throttle. The throttle always stuck in third gear", Hohenadel explained. "While driving alone, this was not a big issue. But in traffic and in fights, this was a big problem. Eventually the throttle stuck again and I went into the gravel."
Hohenadel finished the ADAC GT Masters-season fourth in the drivers ranking. "It would have been great to finish third or runner up, but also fourth is a very big success in this highly competitive championship."Hohenadel is quite happy with his season. "We won one race, scored four podium positions and finished within the top five in eight races."
"Until the penultimate round of the championship, we also had chances to win the championship. In Oschersleben we suffered some bad luck, but we can be very satisfied with our results. Our team Callaway Competition won the team championship of the ADAC GT Masters against the likes of DTM-Teams Abt und Phoenix, so we can be proud to be part of this success."

"Good Summer Job"
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I worked at Georgetown University full-time (Less than a year)
On-campus housing is provided, and this job develops good customer service experience. A good way to stay around the university in the summer and make some money to boot. No experience required.
The larger organization is sprawling and rather poorly organized, so a good experience depends on a good RHO Coordinator. Also, some dorms are far busier than others with events and check-ins.
Advice to Management
Provide a better system for training employees--the current training is tedious and doesn't address many issues which actually arise.
I worked at Georgetown University as a contractor (Less than a year)
It was an easy enough job -- offices hiring students seem to have low expectations about student performance, which meant it wasn't very hard work.
It was super-dull. It took some creativity to find reasons to enjoy coming to work. I ended up hanging out with a couple of the younger permanent employees to have people to chat with on breaks from data entry. They seemed surprised that a student would befriend them -- I got a sense that usually the students and the permanent employees keep to their own cliques.
Advice to Management
Students probably know how to use your computers better than you do. It's awesome that you want to help us, and a lesson on using a computer doesn't cause us pain, but skipping/shortening that might make things easier for you. Thanks for being nice and laid-back, though.
I have been working at Georgetown University full-time (More than 10 years)
Georgetown has great benefits (medical, holidays, vacation), flexible schedule for many jobs, friendly people who are happy to come to work, stable work environment with little to no layoffs. There are often impressive guest speakers on a variety of topics.
The university has been around almost as long as the country itself.
No actual raises in 10 years. The "merit" salary increase pool is about the same or less than COLA.
Guest speakers sessions with the most interest fill up in about 1 minute.
With such a long heritage, and no layoffs, many inefficient systems, processes, and departments stay around longer than they should.
Advice to Management
Provide for raises and for promotions within a job. Reduce to 37.5 hour week.
Provide guest speakers with a larger venue such as the gym.
