Renal - acute peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion
This document is only valid for the day on which it is accessed. Please read our disclaimer.
Pre operative patient preparation
- Nil by mouth - establish if not done prior to transfer.
- Record weight and height if available
- Estimate insensible losses at 400ml/m2. If the height is not available use 30ml/kg/day to estimate this. Use this to calculate fluid requirements. Do not use normal maintainance fluid calculations. Fluid type will depend on degree of hyponatremia, hyperkalaemia and acidosis.
- See Starship Clinical Guidelines for acute management of Hyperkalaemia
- Seek senior advice in case of severe Hyponatraemia. In case of symptomatic Hyponatraemia give 1-2ml/kg of 3% saline (in PICU only) and review sodium post dose.
- Maintain strict fluid balance
- Discuss with on call surgical team and anaesthetics. Include most recent results for Hb, Plt and potassium in booking and details of any hyperkalaemia management.
- Consider whether child should be managed in PICU or 26B
- 26B staff should prepare Operating Room (OR) peritoneal dialysis kit when decision is made for the child to go to OR to prevent delay when child is called to theatre.
- IV access and blood tests required
- Clotting: APTT and PR
- Group and hold
- Gas for rapid result on potassium, HCO3, ionized Calcium if available
- Chemistry: sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate, urea , creatinine, albumin
- Stool specimen for E coli if Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS) suspected
- Urine specimen if producing urine for microscopy and proteinuria
- Other bloods may be required depending on the underlying cause of the AKI (Acute Kidney Injury/Insult) and should be discussed with on call Renal Consultant. These may include:
- HUS - blood film, LDH, Haptoglobins, glucose, liver function tests
- Suspected vasculitis -Complements, ANA, ASOT, ANCA, ESR, anti GBM
Supplies for surgery
- Operating Room peritoneal insertion dialysis kit from 26B:
- Contact Ward coordinator in 26b if child is in PICU
- Materials are held in ward 26b room 6.44 in shelves OR Bag and Guidelines, and Quick Guides ( guide to flushes in OR)
- Bag should contain all materials as per Orange PD Catheter insertion pack and laminated OR guide for flushes
- Ensure that heater pad is returned to 26B
- Two kits should be ready at any time. If a bag is used another kit should be assembled before the end of shift
- Send NG tube (Corpark 8Fr) to theatre with child if not placed already, or if temporary NG in situ.
- Chart Cefazolin 20mg/kg IV 24 hourly for 3 days unless child is already on antibiotics for systemic infection in which case review with on call nephrologist.
- Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) - Manual prescription should be completed whilst child is in theatre so dialysis can be setup prior to return from PACU.
- Packed red cells and/ or platelets should be sent to theatre if these are low eg in HUS or sepsis. These may need to be given pre operatively but this carries significant risk of precipitating/worsening hyperkaleamia and/or symptomatic fluid overload. Suggested volumes are 10ml/kg for platelets and 10-15ml/kg for packed red cells
- Peritoneal dialysis catheters are kept in OR.
- Use single cuff catheter for acute patient unless this is thought to be a late presenting end stage patient in which case a double cuff catheter may be requested.
- If the appropriate length single cuff catheter is not available then consider an insertion site higher or lower than usual to allow the tip to sit in the pelvis. Avoid cutting additional holes in catheter.
- See PD Insertion Pack Guide below
Post operative management
- Start Periotneal Dialysis (PD) as prescribed, usually 10- 15ml/kg hourly cycles 1.5% glucose. Use chronic PD handwashing protocol to minimize infection risk ( Chlorhexidine 4% handwash and Chlorhexidine handrub)
- If starting PD in 26B:
- On APD -bypass first dwell to do quick in and out flush for catheter.
- If resting or manual 3x in out flushes 10mls/kg then proceed
- Copy of post op order sheet should be in patient notes
- Discuss early if inflow time >10 minutes, outflow time >20 minutes or other concerns re catheter function.
- Discuss adding heparin with renal team if PD fluid blood stained at any point
- If starting PD in PICU
- PICU flow sheets (CR5734) used for prescribing and reviewing.
This should be completed on the flow sheet daily and include
volumes, concentration, dwell times and any drugs to be added to
the dialysate:
- inflow should be recorded on the input row
- outflow on the output row and will be recorded as total outflow
- Manual 3 x in-out flushes 10ml/kg then proceed
- Discuss with medical staff early if inflow time >10 minutes/ outflow time >20 minutes, PD fluid blood stained or other concerns re catheter function.
- In non - ventilated patient prescribe 10-15ml/kg
- In ventilated patient - prescribe 10ml/kg as larger volumes may impact on ventilation, causing splinting of the chest wall and decreased compliance of the diaphragm.
- PICU flow sheets (CR5734) used for prescribing and reviewing. This should be completed on the flow sheet daily and include volumes, concentration, dwell times and any drugs to be added to the dialysate:
- Feeds - the usual starting renal feed is Kindergen. Volumes of feed will depend on fluid allowance.
- Analgesia - See Starship Clinical Guideline for Acute Pain Relief in Children with Renal impairment for additional recommendations and advice. Morphine and NSAIDS should generally be avoided in this group. Alternatives are Fentanyl and Oxycodone.
- Continue IV antibiotics for 2 further doses (24 hourly). If longer add Nystatin prophylaxis
- Dressing:
- Check exit site and ensure dressing fully occlusive - change or reinforce immediately on return from OR if required.
- Post op visible to be kept dry and remain in situ for 7 days unless excessive ooze or dialysate leak. Do not change dressing without instruction from renal nurse specialist or nephrologist.
- Ensure Flexitrak in situ. Immobilisation of catheter is crucial to minimizing catheter related complications.
Peritoneal dialysis insertion pack guide
- 2 x catheter adaptor luer locks
- 2 x 40cm catheter extension lines
- 1 x 1.5% Staysafe balance 2 litre manual bag
- 2 x disinfection caps
- 2 x post op visible dressings

On Wednesday afternoon I took my Trini friend Shenelle and our pooch Jouvert to see the rugged East Coast of the island. The entire coastline is currently blanketed in sargassum seaweed, and though it is a huge environmental issue that is causing serious damage to our marine life and to our tourism industry, I couldn't help but find these scenes quite beautiful. The colour of the sargassum ranges from light, mustard yellow to a rich copper (and even black once it starts to decay). Cattlewash was once a treasure chest of shells and other beautiful beachy bits, but sadly all I collected that day was garbage. It freaks me out to see so much plastic littering the shoreline and I collected three 'hauls' of garbage in just over an hour. It's so gross! I found about 16 plastic bottles, pieces of fishing rope/nets, Styrofoam pieces and other random bits of plastic containers and a lot of it gets tangled in the seaweed so it's even harder to clean it up now.
I also took on the challenge of trying to get Jouvert to pose for a photo, using her tennis ball. Let me tell ya, this was no easy feat! For some reason she absolutely hates the camera and refuses to look at it, but she loves her ball, so we quickly figured a way around this.
Ain't nothing better than the salty wind in your face to relax you at the end of the day and I only wish I could do it more often, seaweed and all.

Breast Actives Reviews Before & After Use
If you're considering trying the Breast Actives system, then it's a good idea to look at some product review pictures and even videos. What you see in the breast actives reviews before & after photos will give you an idea of the results that you can expect to get, which will help you to decide if it's going to be worth you trying it.
Breast Actives is a form of non-surgical breast enhancement. If your breasts are smaller than you would like them to be, or not as perky as you wish, then it could be that Breast Actives is a good option for you. This all-natural aid can be used to make breasts fuller and perkier, and some users have reported that it increased the size of their breasts from A cup to B or even C cup after 6 months. It is a breast enhancement programme that includes a herbal supplement, a cream, and a set of recommended exercises to increase the size of your breasts. This approach helps your body to do its own thing – which means that it is safer than implants, and more natural than other forms of surgery. The supplements augment the actions of your body's own hormones, and the exercises support the muscles under the breasts, which is what makes them perkier and therefore makes them seem bigger.
Surgery vs Supplements
Surgery – any form of surgery – carries with it risks. If you're cutting into the skin then there is the risk of infection. If you take anaesthetic then there is the risk of complications. If you need stitches, there is the risk of scarring. If you get implants, then they could burst or cause inflammation, or shift and damage the skin. Whatever you do, there is some risk associated with it.
Supplements and creams carry lower risk – there is the possibility that you could be allergic to the ingredients, but if you have any allergies you will know what to look out for. If you are taking medications, then there is some risk of supplements interacting with the medication that you are taking – however, with mild herbal supplements this is a minimal risk and it is not something that most people need to worry about.
Breast Actives features a gentle cream, a supplement that is made of natural, herbal remedies, and some exercises that will strengthen and tone the chest area. These things will combine to give you natural looking, firm and perky breasts.
You should review the before and after pictures to get an idea of the results that you can expect. If you're hoping for a double-D cup and you're currently an A, then you will likely be disappointed. If you want what you currently have, just a bit "more", which is what most women are seeking – then you'll love the results that Breast Actives can offer. There's a guarantee, too, so you can try it risk free. If you buy a multi-month supply then you can get some freebies too.

- Patak's Garlic Paddadums: I have seen these at the grocery store and have never bought them because I will admit I had no clue what they were. I am glad she sent them! Next time I cook up something with Indian flavours these will be getting used.
- a bag of Cinnamon Crunch Somersaults: I have never tried these either and they are so good! The bag is gone now since we all loved them. I left them on the kitchen table and every night after supper we would all have a few and they quickly disappeared.
- a few Tazo Refresh tea bags: I am a non-caffeinated person, crazy I know but that stuff makes me jittery in the worst way. I really appreciated the herbal tea as I am turning into a tea person lately. It made a great after dinner tea with the mint.
- a pack of Panda All-Natural Soft Licorice: Lucky me since I love black licorice. I know it's one of those love it or hate it things but I love it! I really enjoyed this little treat too!
- a bag of Rhythm Superfoods Kool Ranch Kale Chips: I love me some kale chips and these are no exception. I have tried some of the flavours from Rhythm Superfoods before but Kool Ranch was a new one. Very tasty!
Thank you so much Maggie! I really loved it all and my mom says thank you for sending the granola recipe! I love it too so thank you from me too!

College Extracurricular Activities The History Of Activities
Short Introduction
Extracurricular activities are the types of activities of scholars throughout the educational year. The main difference is the fact that extracurricular activities don't fit in with the obligatory normal curriculum associated with a school or college. Actually, such activities exist at different amounts of education, whether it's primary or school, senior high school, or greater educational establishment. Generally, within the Usa the typical student takes part a minimum of in a single popular extracurricular activity throughout the educational year.
Extracurricular activities usually represent voluntary participation. As opposite towards the scholastic activities extracurricular ones that frequently include social sphere activities, sports or philanthropic are often totally free. In some instances when some money is required for the standard activity functioning, faculty sponsorship is requested cooperation. Among such activities school newspapers are popular and common.

Minimize risk with better backup IQ
- Details
- Published: Friday, 22 July 2016 11:36
- Written by Jeff Marett
More than half of small businesses have no disaster recovery plan. Are you confident in your backup?
The problem with professional backup today is that it's all over map. With so many big-brand vendors, misrepresented applications, schools of thought, built-in redundancies, and conflicts between internal and external IT experts, it's no wonder that companies are unsure of just how protected they are. In some cases, businesses are ironically overprotected, which only slows productivity and costs money.

The winners of the Mitre Manager of the Month Awards for December have now been announced- and two- well, actually three- familiar names crop up!
The Premier Division winners were Harry Wheeler and Glenn Tamplin of Billericay Town. The Blues ended the month in second place after winning five of their six league matches- indeed only Merstham earned as much as a point against them- and also celebrated reaching the next round of the FA Trophy with victory over National League South Havant & Waterlooville.
We had a new winner in the North Division, and the award goes to Rob Small of Bowers & Pitsea. Rob masterminded five straight victories in December, including the 3-0 and 4-0 thrashings of promotion rivals Dereham Town and Barking.
Finally, in the South Division, Walton Casuals Manager Anthony Gale picked up his second award of the season. From the 5th to the 30th December Casuals notched up six straight victories, a run which started with a 3-0 win over a Sittingbourne side who had won their previous five away matches.

Nation & World
Texas Sen. Cornyn wants F-35 program support from DoD nominee
Texas Sen. John Cornyn wants the man who could become the Pentagon's No. 2 official to get fully behind the F-35 joint strike fighter program.
Cornyn sent a pointed letter Wednesday to Ashton Carter, who faces Senate confirmation hearings next month on his nomination as deputy secretary of defense, urging him to take a stronger role supporting the F-35.
In the letter, Cornyn implies that Carter, the Pentagon's chief weapons buyer since 2009, has not been enough of an advocate for the F-35, despite having approved tens of billions of dollars for the program that is badly behind schedule and over-budget.
"I am concerned that the DoD's failure to sufficiently defend and advocate for the F-35 program has enabled and even invited unwarranted criticisms from many corners, including calls for partial or complete cancellation of the program," Cornyn said. "It is my hope that, as Deputy Secretary of Defense, you would be a champion of the F-35 program, using your voice to remind Congress that this weapon system is one our nation cannot do without. I strongly encourage you to step up your defense of this key program."
As undersecretary of defense for acquisition under recently departed Secretary Robert Gates, Carter has repeatedly had to justify continuing the F-35 and revise development and production plans to cope with delays and cost overruns. He has said publicly and to Congress that the aircraft is vital to defense plans.
But Drew Brandewie, Cornyn's press secretary, said the senator wants to hear Carter clearly voice support for the F-35 at his confirmation hearing, where he is likely to be grilled by one of the program's chief critics, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
"It's a matter of him [Cornyn] wanting to know where he [Carter] stands on this important program," Brandewie said. "This is important to Sen. Cornyn and it's important to Fort Worth."
Lockheed spokeswoman Laurie Quincy said the company would not comment on Cornyn's letter.
But Winslow Wheeler, analyst with the Center for Defense Information and an F-35 critic, said Cornyn's letter amounts to a threat to oppose Carter's nomination. "He's trying to extort Carter by making menacing noises about his confirmation unless he helps the F-35 even more."

Sometimes accessories and bike products do not always fit where you want them to, or you might want a different angle for whatever reason. A recent bag light mount was not popular with at least one reader, here a few pictures to inspire other possible creative mounts.
Basket alternative bike light mount.
Reader Papa Bear sent along the following:
This shows what I did for my cyclocomputer. It's a wired CatEye, and it was too short because I ride a 29er. I secured the wiring to the frame with our good-old zip ties, then I secured the mount to the top tube - again with zip ties. I have to look down a bit to see my computer, but it works well.
And here is another example of a light mount not in the traditional place you might find one.

Following decades of civil war, Somalia is showing tangible signs of stabilization, however the country needs development especially on the Energy sector. The Horn of Africa nation, plagued by a war past, suffers a biting shortage of electricity. The sluggish repair or modernisation of power plants and transmission lines that were destroyed in civil clashes has not improved the situation. Somalia's power bills are among the most expensive in the world, dampening the prospect of attracting capital inflows from investors as stability makes a return into the country. Solar Energy is being used in different parts of Somalia which is seen as a huge step towards progress and it is an important source of energy. Home based solar power is a quiet, nearly maintenance free, continuous source of electricity. Since 2001, ADRA Somalia has been on the forefront in improving the energy sector in Somalia/Somaliland by implementing several projects on energy. The Agency is currently implementing a three year project called Somali Energy Transformation (SET) in Somaliland, South Central Somalia and Puntland with funding from European Union (EU) to expand renewable energy access for rural and peri-urban populations in Somalia.
The SET project which has been in implementation since January 2016 aims to provide affordable and sustainable renewable energy to 100,000 households, with the main objective of Contributing to poverty alleviation, fragility reduction and climate change mitigation. Thus far, ADRA Somalia through the SET Project has installed solar power in 5 schools, 5 Health centers and 5 farms in Puntland. In Somaliland, the project has installed solar PV systems in 4 schools and 1 health center. In South Central Somalia, 3 schools and 2 health centers have benefited with solar PV systems. In addition, 3 pico-solar dealers have been supported with small grants to expand their businesses. The pico-solar are used for lighting and for charging mobile phones.
Farmers and communities being supported by the project have reported positive outcome of the project. In Cuun farm, Puntland, beneficiary farmers are reporting that they are saving between USD 12 to 18 per day by use of solar powered water pump. After the installation of the system, they no longer need diesel powered water pump to irrigate their expansive farms. The farmers use two petrol powered water pump to lift the water and pump to the nearby farms. Each water petrol water pump uses between 10-15 liters of petrol per day. Taking of average of 20 liters per day the rate of USD 0.6 per liter, the saving translates to USD 12 saving per day. In a year, the farmers will be able to save USD 4,320. Additional benefit from the system is that it will generate an extra USD 4,320 because it will operate twice the duration that petrol water pump operates. A petrol water pump runs for not more than three hours in a day while a solar water pumps runs for 6 hours in a day. The limiting factor being the availability of water in the shallow well. The solar power has a low maintenance cost compared to petrol powered water pumps.
In Dhudhob Primary School in Karkaar Region of Puntland, the school community is pleased with the Action. The school has a population of 143 pupils, comprising of 83 boys and 61 girls. The school authority reported that; evening classes in the school have started, security has improved at night, and they are able to do examinations on time. Before the installation of solar system, the school did not have any form of energy. They relied on power in the nearby town to print exams papers and reports. The grid power in the town was unreliable grid power because of outage. The electricity would go off during printing of exams papers and reports. With the installation of solar PV system, they don't have to worry about power outages. The administration further reported that other agencies do visit the school to use electricity to power their laptop computers and mobile phones. Cuun Farm and Dhudhob Primary School in Puntland represent a part of the beneficiary populations who are reaping benefits from the recently installed systems, and it is expected by project completion many more schools, health centres and farms will benefit in most regions of Somalia.

2 injured in State College stabbing, 3 Penn State students facing charges
Three Penn State students were charged early Saturday morning in connection with a stabbing in downtown State College.
Brandon D. Frick, 21, a student at the Altoona campus, was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats, possession of instrument of crime and recklessly endangering.
Robert W. Donaldson, 22, and William D. Stranburg, 21, were each charged with terroristic threats, possession of instrument of crime and recklessly endangering.
State College police said that at 2:42 a.m., officers were dispatched to 220 E. Foster Ave. for a report that an individual had been stabbed and injured.
Upon arrival, officers found that two 22-year-old men had suffered injuries to their backs from what appeared to have been a knife or other edged weapon, according to a police report.
One of the victims had a stab wound, and the other a minor incision and an injury to his face. Both men are college students from other campuses who were visiting for the weekend, police said.
Upon further investigation, officers found that the two victims went to the residence to visit a female friend. They went to the third floor of the residence and were met at the door by several men who told the victims to leave, police said.
One of the victims attempted to call the female friend, at which time three men came out of the residence, each armed with what the victims reported as knives, police said.
The two victims turned and began to run down the steps toward the front door, the police report said.
As the victims attempted to flee, the male suspects allegedly stabbed and slashed at the victims.
One victim was stabbed in the middle of his back, while the other suffered a cut around his right shoulder blade and had a bruised left eye, police said.
One victim was taken to the Mount Nittany Medical Center and later flown to UPMC Altoona for treatment of the knife injury, according to police. The other victim was also taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center and received treatment there for his injuries, police said.
Both victims were treated and released from the hospital by Saturday afternoon.
Donaldson and Stranburg were each arraigned before District Judge Steven Lachman and released on $2,000 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing will be held Wednesday for each.
Frick was arraigned before Lachman and placed in the Centre County Prison on $10,000 straight bail. Frick's preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, as well.

But he was amazed when the auction site eBay refused to let him sell it because it might incite racial hatred and promote violence.
The offending part was a Swastika on the box, modelled on the opening titles of the sitcom which showed Swastikas and Union flags strategically moving around a map of Europe.
And despite its apparent family-friendly content, where players attempt to get their platoon to one location on the board, eBay stuck by their decision to ban the auction declaring: "We don't allow the sale of memorabilia associated with the Nazi Party."
Mr Davidson said: "I couldn't believe it when they sent me an email telling me my Dad's Army board game could insight violence and hatred.
"Its so annoying because any human being with an ounce of common sense can see Dad's Army is the most harmless TV programme in the world.
"There's no swearing, sex or violence – it's not like I'm trying to flog a piece of Nazi memorabilia here.
"I was just baffled."
He said Ebay was "run by a system, by robots, with no brain who probably just vet the content without looking into anything properly", adding: "It's moronic.
"They allow coins and stamps with swastikas and there are hundreds of novels which are war stories that have them."
Mr Davidson, from Droitwich, Worcs, discovered his item had been removed from the site last Saturday when he received an e-mail from eBay.
It said his listing breached the company's offensive material policy and added: "We don't allow sellers on eBay to list items that promote violence, hatred, racial or religious intolerance, or items from organisations that promote these views.
"We don't allow items or memorabilia associated with the Nazi Party."
The 'Dad's Army Board Game' was released in the mid-1970's when the TV series was at the height of its popularity.
The game contains all the famous characters from the TV series, including Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Wilson, Corporal Jones, Pike, Fraser, Godfrey, Hodges and even the Vicar and the Verge.
Jenny Thomas, spokesman for eBay UK, said: "eBay will remove listings that bear the marks of organisations that promote hatred and racial intolerance and we are strict and unapologetic in adhering to this policy."
Peter Oteng, chief executive of the Worcestershire Racial Equality Council, said that there are strict laws about advertising discriminatory material and eBay, as the advertiser, was protecting itself.
He said: "You can't joke with this because you are joking with millions of people killed. It's not a laughing matter at all.
"It's very serious."
He added a compromise could have been to advertise the board game without showing the swastika image.

26. (Preliminary for T, April 3; finalized Sat, April 14) a. Prove that equality modulo an ideal I of a ring R is an equivalence relation. (In our class, you may always assume (unless stated otherwise) that a ring is commutative and has 1.)
Reflexivity:$x-x\in I \Longrightarrow 0\in I$
Symmetric: Want to show: $x\sim y\longleftrightarrow y\sim x$
Thus we get two situations: $x-y\in I$ and $y-x\in I$
If we perform the operation $0-(x-y)\in I$ because of closedness under addition and also that $0\in I$.
Thus we get $-x+y\in I$ which is equal to $y-x\in I$.
Thus it works.
Transitivity: If we know [[x\sim y, y\sim z$]], then we want to show that it implies that $x\sim z$.
By adding both known properties:
$(x-y)+(y-z)$, we get
$x-z\in I$. Thus $x\sim z$ is implied as well.
b. Prove that multiplication on the quotient ring R/I is well defined: (r+I)(s+I)=rs+I.
$r\sim r' \longrightarrow r\cdot r'\in I$
$s\sim s' \longrightarrow s\cdot s'\in I$
If we let $a=r-r'$ and $b=s-s'$,
$\Longrightarrow rs+I=(r'+a)(s'+b) + I$
$\Longrightarrow r's' + r'b+ as' +ab+I=r's'+I$
27. (Preliminary for T, April 3; finalized Sat, April 14) a. Show that every unit of a ring R has a unique inverse.
Let $\mu,v_1,v_2 \in \mathbb{R}$
Let $\mu v_1=1$ and $\mu v_2=1$
$\Longrightarrow \mu v_1=\mu v_2$
$\Longrightarrow \mu v_1v_1=\mu v_1v_2$
$\Longrightarrow v_1=v_2$.
b. Show that the units of Z/nZ are precisely those [a] such that GCD(a,n)=1.
Assume $GCD(a,n)=1$. Then $\exists u,v \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that
$au+nv=1 \longrightarrow a \underline{u} + n\underline{v} = 1$
However $n\underline{v} =0$.
So $a\underline{u} = 1$.
28. (Preliminary for Th, April 5; finalized Sat, April 14) Prove that an ideal I of a ring R is maximal if and only if the quotient ring R/I is a field.
Assume r/I is a field. Let J be an ideal such that $I \subset J$. Then $\exists x\in J x\notin I$. Therefore, $I+x\notin I+0$.
Since R/I is a field, $\exists (I+y) \in R/I \longrightarrow (I+x)(I+y)=I+1$.
Thus $xy-1\in I$.
Since $I\subset J, (xy-1)\in J$.
Then consider $1= xy-(xy-1)$.
All element of the equation are in J, so $1\in J$.
Therefore, J=R and I is maximal.
Now assume that I is maximal.
Let $I+a \in R/I \longrightarrow (I+a)\neq (I+0) \wedge a\notin I$
Consier $J=I+Ra :=\{i+ra:i\in I, r\in R\}.$
Then $\forall i\in I, i=i+0a \longrightarrow I\subset J$.
Since I is maximal, J=I or J=R. However, $a=0+1a$. so $a\in J \wedge a\notin I$. so $J=R$.
Since I+Ra=R and $1\in R$,
1=i+ra for some $i\in I \wedge r\in R$.
$\Longrightarrow 1-ra=i\in I$, so (I+1)=(I+ra) implies (I+1)=(I+r)(I+a).
I+a is the inverse of I+r.
$\forall a\in R$, exists r such that ar=1.
All elements have an inverse, so R/I is afield.
29. (Preliminary for Th, April 5; finalized Sat, April 14) a. Consider the polynomial ring Q[x,y] in two variables with rational coefficients. (One way to think about it is as the polynomial ring in variable y whose coefficients come from the single-variable polynomial ring Q[x].) Find an ideal I⊆Q[x,y] that is prime but not maximal. (You don't have to write out a very formal proof, but explain clearly what your candidate is and why it works. Try to make your example as simple as possible.)
let $I = (x + 1)$ be the ideal that is prime but not maximal. It works because any polynomial of this form is irreducible and the ideal can only be reduced by the polynomail itself but it also can encompass all types of polynomials when they are multiplied together.
b. An ideal I of a ring R is a principal ideal if there exists x∈R such that I=(x); that is, the ideal is generated by
a single element. Prove that every ideal of Z is principal (we say that Z is a principal ideal domain or PID).
Let I be an ideal and Let x be the minimal positive element of I. Then we know that $(x)\in I$. Let $J = I / (x)$. If (x) doesn't equal I, then J is nonempty, so it too has a minimal positive element. Call that y. Note that $x < y$, so $0 < y-x.$
Now, y-x is less than y, so it can't be in J. Both x and y were in I, though, so y-x must also be in I and therefore, in (x).
Thus, we can write
$y-x = ax$ for some integer a
But that means that y is divisible by x, so y is in (a) This is a contradiction.
c. Show that Q[x,y] is not a PID by finding an ideal I that is not principal. Justify your answer. (Again, look for the simplest possible counterexample.)
Consider $I = (x, y)$. The term 1 does not lie inside I because neither x or y have constant terms and would not be able to be equal to 1.
Comments - Andrew Furash
Great work, but I don't quite understand your logic for 29b.

It is always an exciting time mingling with youth leaders and sharing ideas on how they can empower themselves and their communities to address the challenges and issues they face.
Such a time is currently underway in Liwonde, Machinga, where youth club leaders and patrons are undergoing training to become listening clubs of a sexual and reproductive health radio magazine program, Youth Alert! Mix.
In this learning and sharing experience, one notable thing is the passion these youth leaders have to ensure youth friendly health services (YFHS) are available and accessible to young people in their communities. As the sessions on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), communication, group dynamics and leadership are being delivered, one cannot miss the enthusiasm and amazing creative process that is being stirred up in these leaders and patrons.
Provided with an enabling environment, the participants reflect and share cases of their marginalization; how low, and in some cases, the lack of information and life planning skills bar them from attaining their personal and societal goals. In small groups they discuss and assess the needs in the communities, and develop action plans that not only will help them create a voice for youth issues, but will also improve the mindset of communities to increase meaningful involvement of young people in development activities at village level.
The leadership training has targeted forty clubs from seven traditional authorities in the district.

(Edmonton) - National wide receiver Nate Coehoorn has retired from the Canadian Football League.
Originally drafted fifth overall by Edmonton in the 2011 CFL Draft, the Medicine Hat-born Coehoorn, played his entire six-year career in Green and Gold.
In 91 career games, Coehoorn amassed 211 catches for 2,379 yards and six touchdowns.
A member of the 2015 Grey Cup championship team, his crucial nine-yard reception helped to set up the game-winning touchdown.
Prior to the CFL, Coehoorn was the Calgary Dinos leading receiver in 2010 with 28 catches for 416 yards. He earned Canada West All-Star honours for three consecutive seasons. He also led the Dinos in all-purpose yards with 1,025 and led Canada West in punt return yardage with 494 yards on 42 attempts.

A recent conversation about the current state of the picture book soon came around to the subject of book jackets. A senior art director in the group noted mournfully that as jacket designs have increasingly become the province of sales and marketing teams, covers have grown less representative of the books they trumpet. The disconnect can take different forms. The typeface chosen for the cover may be out of sync with that used for the interior text, and the cover graphic may be a noisy attention-grabber there to announce, "I am a big, important book, so buy me!" The eye-popping cover image of Robert Byrd's Electric Ben: The Amazing Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin (Dial), for example, is like a souped-up, funny-car version of the capable, but far quieter, artwork found inside the book. Additionally, the trim size may be larger than feels right for the story told: The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit (Warne), by Emma Thompson, with illustrations by Eleanor Taylor, inhabits a much bigger format than Beatrix Potter's original, the better to make the book show up on store shelves but not, I wouldn't think, to draw small children into Peter's furtive, hazard-filled, hide-and-seek world.
The jacket as a selling tool, rather than as merely the protective wrapper (or "dust jacket") it started out as more than a century ago, is hardly a new phenomenon. But as the major market for children's books shifted from libraries and schools to retail from the 1970s onward, and as the publishing industry itself went corporate and redrew its organizational chart, cover designs rooted in editorial vision became a good deal rarer. Jackets produced as a group decision, with the marketing and sales force of the house taking the lead, became the new norm.
A devil's advocate might interject here that children tend to love glittery lettering, shiny Mylar surfaces, and gold tinsel spines; and if amusing cheap tricks like these lead to a love of reading, why complain? Even if there is a disconnect between a book's content and its cover design, does that really matter? I would say that it matters whenever the result is a book that feels sadly at war with itself (the oversized Peter Rabbit "sequel," for example); and when a certain kind of cozy, intimate book for which there has long been a proven place falls by the wayside. The cover designs of Don Freeman's Norman the Doorman (Viking) and Esphyr Slobodkina's Caps for Sale (Harper) — to name two mid-twentieth-century picture books that attained "classic" status in time to withstand the current trend — would be unlikely to pass muster at any of today's major publishing houses. True, both of these books date from the time when a new picture book was typically encountered up-close on a library shelf or table, not glimpsed at forty paces in a big box store, amid a crazy quilt of color-splashed alternatives. But whatever the market forces that happen to be at work, if the picture book as a genre is to thrive in the future, publishers will need to make books that have more to offer, from the cover on in, than calculated cleverness.
Consider two of the most beloved picture books of all time. What, besides their publisher (Harper) and editor (the late great Ursula Nordstrom), do Goodnight Moon and Where the Wild Things Are have in common? Stylistically, their illustrations look nothing alike and their story lines could hardly be more different. Still, these two perennial favorites do share one striking feature—and it is a pretty strange one when you stop to think about it: in both instances, the hero of the tale does not appear on the cover.
In a preliminary jacket sketch for Goodnight Moon, Clement Hurd painted a more static version of the cover image of the Great Green Room everyone knows. It's pretty much the same design, except that in the sketch the bunny child perches on the windowsill, at the center of the picture. In the finished cover, the bunny has gone missing.
Nearly all picture book covers make it their first order of business to introduce readers to the hero of the tale; it seems only good sense to do so. But when it was time to finalize the cover for Goodnight Moon, Nordstrom took a counterintuitive approach that reflected her understanding of the text's mantra-like magic string of words. It was she who instructed Hurd to take out the bunny.
Nordstrom's argument went something like this. The bunny was not a hero in the ordinary sense but rather a placeholder for the child at home who, swept up in the spell of Margaret Wise Brown's hypnotic lyric, would want to imagine himself inside the Great Green Room. The story, she told the illustrator, wasn't really the bunny's story. Viewed this way, the jacket image came to serve as a door left open for the reader to enter the room.
But what about Where the Wild Things Are? Did Nordstrom, or Maurice Sendak, omit Max from the cover image for similar reasons? The situation is not quite comparable. Max, after all, is arguably the quintessential picture-book hero. The archival record does not seem to account for what happened. We know that Max does not make an appearance in any of the several Wild Things cover studies preserved at Philadelphia's Rosenbach Museum & Library, which houses Sendak's archives. But we don't know why, and so can only guess what Sendak and Nordstrom were thinking. My guess would be this: the cover image was meant to be another open door, and a signal to readers that they were going to have to venture inside—inside the book and inside themselves — if they wished to have what the cover art promised would be a strange and wonderful experience. This was a cover to daydream over, not art to digest in an instant. And I doubt it would make it past any present-day publishing committee.
Which is not to say that a cover has to be quiet and contemplative to rate as a success. Fred Marcellino came to picture-book making in the early 1990s at the tail end of a brilliant run as America's preeminent trade fiction jacket artist of the previous two decades. Chances are great that at some point you have been stopped in your tracks by the indelible graphics he created for Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities, Anne Tyler's The Accidental Tourist, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, and a host of other international bestsellers. No one knew better than Marcellino how to create a book jacket that made a big splash while also giving an incisive impression of the experience that lay in store for readers.
The funny thing is that when Marcellino turned to designing the cover of his first picture book, Puss in Boots (Farrar), a project he had dreamed of doing for years, he painted an irresistibly saucy, elegant close-up of the story's egomaniacal cat — but forgot to leave room for the title or his name. Marcellino's editor, Michael di Capua, came to the rescue with a bold solution that, he later reported, had been revealed to him in a dream: to leave the front cover entirely type-free. The graphically thrilling result, which set the stage for a trickster tale famous for its own surprising twists and turns, became the most talked-about juvenile cover design in recent memory. A second result was that Puss's text-free headshot went on to inspire a Mount Rushmore of monumentally large — but overbearing and for the most part humorless — copycat jackets, especially for picture book biographies of JFK, Helen Keller, and other famous folk: the ultimate I'm-a-big-important-book covers. Which only goes to show that, whatever form it takes, the best picture book cover design is made from the inside out, as a strong, clear, highly particular response to a one-of-a-kind story worth discovering.

I have been posting and debating HR issues online for more than 5 years. I have learned a lot and my conclusion is that most of us (the HR debaters) have sound thoughts and opinions on HR issues, but those thoughts and principles, in many cases, can only be effectively applied when the organization is in tune and ready for them. In particular, managers and supervisors need to have the sensitivity and skills (and commitment) to successfully promote HR practices in their day-to-day relationship with employees. If they are not up to it, that affects our HR credibility, but are we equally to blame for assuming a level of management competence that does not exist?
An organization may be sophisticated and have invested in HR best practices, but if it does not have the right managers and supervisors to deliver, HR principles will not advance significantly. Even more dangerous is when day-to-day management practices conflict with what the organization claims to be and the HR principles it supports.
Even when we have high potential managers, there is still no guarantee. It all depends on how their bosses (and executives) lay out the way their managers should be operating. Executives will rarely tell people not to follow HR, but while nominally supporting HR direction will emphasize their expectations to managers and that can include an operating style (maybe tough and dictatorial) that contradicts practices HR may be promoting. Managers may prefer the HR approach, but their first obligation is to their direct boss. If they cannot impress their boss and do what he/she wants, then their career could be cut short very abruptly.
We, the HR people have to be smart. How likely is it that the average organization is willing and able to effectively support our HR programs and practices? If the expectation is low (the number of HR complaints may suggest that) what should we do? If there is consistently low support for standard fare HR programs, we can blame the organizations for being short sighted, but if we have been pushing the same programs for years and they are still not operating as designed, we have to accept some blame.
Should we redesign some of our HR approaches and programs to ensure that they are more compatible with the needs of the average organizations and not unnecessarily complex? For example:
Performance Management
The conventional HR program is a misfit for a number of reasons. The competency principles and attributes go beyond the abilities of most managers to apply and if the HR approach differs from the way performance is practically tracked (e.g. data based) by the various functions, there is duplication. Should the HR program be adapted to integrate more with the way performance is really tracked? Should our more sophisticated performance analysis capabilities be reserved more for coaching and dealing with specific performance problems?
Does it make sense for HR to continue to focus on engagement when it is unlikely to happen consistently in most organizations? Engagement of an individual to a job (or a manager or leader) can evolve very naturally, in the right circumstances, even in imperfect environments, but we cannot count on it. We should encourage engagement and give recognition when possible, but are we more likely to succeed if we place less emphasis on emotional ties and more emphasis on professional commitment and the ways we can best provide support e.g. a continuous learning environment and different forms of recognition? What do you think?
Assigning HR Responsibilities to Managers
There has been considerable movement towards managers taking more responsibility for HR issues within their areas. This makes sense and also helps HR cut costs – in theory at least. The problem, again, is that many managers do not have the skills to handle certain HR issues, particularly if they are compliance related and complex matters like handling discipline. This can create significant conflict if we tell managers we are giving them freedom to handle certain things and then we are constantly telling them they are wrong and instructing them how something must be done. Providing support and appropriate training is positive if handled in a collaborative way, but HR acting like an auditor is a problem. It can affect many aspects of the work including hiring and promoting, diversity, work standards and regulatory requirements covering various matters including Occupational Health and Safety.
What do you think? Are we demanding and expecting too much from managers and supervisors? History suggests that managers rarely have highly developed HR skills. Do we need to accept that, or are we to blame in not ensuring that managers receive the necessary training and collaborative follow up and support from HR? Do you think that critical programs like performance management should belong to functional management and reflect their day-to-day performance tracking reality rather than the HR conventional model? Should HR be less demanding compliance and more providing collaboration as equal partners? What do you think?
Thank you for your interest. I look forward to any thoughts and comments you may have.

Radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday explained that Christianity was facing a sharp decline in the United States because Americans were leaving churches that had not "fallen prey to the dark side" and embraced same-sex marriage.
A recent Pew Research Center survey showed that the number of Americans identifying as Christians had dropped by 8 points in the last seven years. At the same time, Americans who were not affiliated with a religion rose from 16 percent to 23 percent.
On his Tuesday radio show, Limbaugh explained that the drop in self-identifying Christians could be explained by "homosexual marriage."
Limbaugh noted that many churches already performed same-sex weddings and ordained gay clergy.
"And in some cases female and lesbian ministers, which you might think in some cases could cause people to leave those churches," he opined. "Those denominations — the Methodists, the Presbyterians, the Lutherans — dropped a lot of members."
"They have left their churches because of social issues and the evolution of their churches to social areas they didn't want to go and don't feel comfortable being in," the conservative host continued. "If you look at the evangelical churches, they haven't lost anything. Their membership is holding pretty steady. Where the message has remained, where the mission has remained the same, where the members of the church don't think any corruption is taking place. They're still hanging in there."
"Some might say, the churches that haven't fallen prey to the dark side. All of this silly social evolution."
Limbaugh argued that "less than 1 million gay activists" were able to "bully and steamroll an entire country."
"How is it that 70 percent of the population can be bullied and silenced and coerced into accepting societal evolution with which they disagree because of their religious beliefs?" he asked.

You'll have to wait longer before you ride can SunRail in Osceola County.
During the SunRail Commission meeting on Thursday, SunRail CEO Nicola Liquori told officials Osceola SunRail service probably won't start before July 2018.
That news ticked off Osceola County Commissioner Viviana Janer who voiced her displeasure last year when she heard the start date had been pushed back.
At one time, officials said the train service to Kissimmee would begin late in 2017, then they said early 2018. So much for that.
The longer Osceola train service is delayed means the county will get fewer dollars in transportation reimbursement funds from the federal government.
To be fair, the pushed-back start date is a bad hand of cards that Liquori inherited last summer when she was tapped to take the reins at SunRail.
The previous management pledged to begin service by early 2018.
Before SunRail can begin carrying riders between Sand Lake Road and Poinciana federal officials must complete numerous approvals. Approvals take time.
Extending the train service means reconstructing bridges, laying a second set of tracks and building passenger station at Meadow Woods in Orange County, and adding three Osceola stations at Tupperware/Osceola Parkway, downtown Kissimmee and Poinciana.
The good news is that workers have almost completed building a massive parking structure at the Kissimmee station and impressive progress has been made at all the other stations.
One day we'll see you on The Rail in Kissimmee.

The spirit of the University District has been influenced from its earliest days by the diversity of people that have called it home. Whether seeking a better life, taking a journey of education and self-discovery, or searching for a place that allows from creative self-expression, our residents have helped shape the neighborhood into the vibrant, diverse, and irreverent place it is today. Taking that spirit and enhancing the University District's community of arts venues and artists - whether visual, performing, music, or written - has become a priority for residents and businesses.
natural art @ iuka park
interactive community art @ weinland park
performing arts @ bossy grrl's
music @ Old North Columbus
performing arts @ wild goose creative
placemaking art @ dennison place
The University District Arts & Character Plan creates a blueprint for the neighborhoods' artistic path forward. It showcases community-generated concepts that can be implemented with a community-driven action plan. The plan also represents a framework so that when artists and creatives from outside of the University District produce work, they can easily be inspired.
Through extensive community input, workshops, surveys here is what the community said:
We are fun, funky, and irreverent - let's stay that way
We love our neighborhood lore - let's celebrate it
We're under the radar - our art should be too
We have a huge array of artists - let's provide them a canvas to create
We have many neighborhoods & people - they need represented
conceptual ideas
Many ideas where generated from the community workshops and open houses. Some relied on neighborhood history while others use art to help solve a neighborhood problem such as persistent graffiti on dumpsters. The following projects and programs are not ranked by priority and should be considered strategically as opportunities present themselves. Additional concepts found in the plan document provide a "framework" to inspire the community and artists on their implementation.
next steps
The University District Organization will be forming an Implementation Committee consisting of representatives from University District community groups, residents, businesses, artists, and area institutional partners. This committee will be used to help forward the concept presented in the Arts & Character Plan through these next steps:
- Establish priorities for proposed projects and long, medium, and short-term goals with the Implementation Committee
- Draft the process for approving art projects which are funded or supported by the University District Organization
- Develop cost estimates for conceptual projects and programs
- Identify funding sources and grant opportunities
- Pair opportunities with available funding
- Release Calls for Artists and evaluate proposals
Hey! But I have an art project that I want to get off the ground!
Community art is always welcome in the University District as the area has a long history of grass-roots initiatives. There are two paths to consider when creating public art:

SkETCH-OF-THE-DAY 018
It's late - much later than I thought and hoped. I just spent the last two hours trying to catch up on contracts and invoices and all the tedious stuff that comes with freelance work. And I defer my lack of enthusiasm for paper work to this 9-minute quickie. Just playing with simple shapes - with thoughts of my face on my pillow.....

Well that's the cool thing bout doing a sketch of the day or week. It's like a diary, some posts will be awesome others might not be the greatest drawing you've ever done. But looking back a year from now you'll have a good record of your year in sketches.ReplyDelete
