DoD Mobile App Helps Healthcare Providers Track Own Resilience

Tool Can Help Prevent Compassion Fatigue or 'Secondary Traumatic Stress'
By Stephen Spotswood
JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCHORD, WA— One of the most insidious things about trauma is that its effects can spread far beyond the initial event. A traumatic event can echo and reverberate into every corner of victims' lives, the lives of their family and friends, and, though it is not frequently acknowledged, the lives of their physicians.
Physicians treating patients with PTSD — especially psychologists and therapists who spend hours with patients helping them work through and overcome trauma — can, little by little, be overwhelmed by the stories they hear. And this can happen so slowly that physicians often do not recognize the issue begins to seriously affect their work or home life.
In recognition of this, DoD health technology specialists have engineered a new mobile application physicians will be able to access from their phones to track their own resilience as they are helping others reclaim their lives.
"While in most cases, healthcare workers don't experience the same kind of combat-related trauma, that worker is exposed to the trauma through the retelling of the servicemember," explained Robert Ciulla, MD, psychologist and director of the mobile health program at DoD's National Center for Telehealth and Technology (T2).
"They're sitting in the same room, day after day, hour after hour, with the kind of suffering servicemembers experience. And they put the patients first and don't think about the effect of this on themselves," he said.
Experiencing stress from working with trauma victims is completely natural, Ciulla said. Compassion fatigue — or "secondary traumatic stress" — is common among those working with trauma victims and is characterized by a gradual lessening of compassion over time.

Started my visit at the Crowne Plaza. While a very nice facility, the service was horrible. On my third day I left the Crowne and checked into the Wandai. Certainly the facilities were not comparable but the service was fantastic. Got a two room suite for $50us. The front desk, breakfast, and cleaning staff were all excellent. I would recommend... More

Customer Reviews:
Great juggle balls
The balls are great! I've had them for over 2 months now and just placed my second order as I try to take on a few more numbers. The colors have stayed vibrant and I LOVE the fact that I can wash them over and over again. They seem to be very durable, which is what I was looking for and they have a great feel and are very consistent. -- Gerald
Quality to last
My first set of flying clipper juggling balls have lasted me for 10 years and haven't even begun to wear out. I recently purchased a set of hybrids after trying some a friend had. They truly are a great ball, and are clearly made with the same level of quality as my original set. It's great to see a company so dedicated to the quality of their product both in construction and design. And at a reasonable price to boot. Hats off, keep up the good work. -- Zeb
Gotta Try
I have been juggling the 2.55" firm Hybrid juggling ball for a month and a half and I have to say I love it. The grip on it feels nice in the hand and it comes to a dead stop. All positive for jugglers. The fact that the ball is firm makes consistent catches easy as well. I would highly recommend trying these if you want an "overfull" ball. -- Cory
Best numbers balls EVER!
I have been juggling 5 and more balls since 1985 and got so frustrated with the lack of quality and the lack size/weight options available that I started making my own. Not any more!
Never again will I spend hours of tedious sewing because I have finally found the perfect juggling balls. These beautifully crafted and durable suede balls are the perfect size and weight for numbers juggling. I've also tried the less full ones and they are great also, especially if you're new to numbers juggling - I happen to like em nice and firm. And the price is incredible, I've spent 3 times that much for similar props that were ultimately disappointing.
- Rob
-- Rob Carpenter
Amazing balls
I wanted to try these out after owning the 2.45 soft version of these. They are firm, which if you are in a stage where you drop frequently these roll away.Also if they collide they go flying.If you're a beginner or are learning new trick or numbers I'd recommend the soft. If you already got your pattern and catches down good these are nice. They stay nice and round and are a great size. The hybrid technology also is not a gimmick it really works as advertised. They have a very predictable flight path, and don't wobble if they spin. I wash these in the washer machine like the other flying clipper balls i own.. Let them dry by air or through them in the dryer for a few good as new -- Geoff

This is a great, fun route just to the right of Pikes Peak. There is a long run out to the first bolt, and be prepared to smear, but it is a great climb. The crux comes on a steep slab near the 5th-6th bolt area.
6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
DO NOT TRUST the 4th bolt on this route. It spins completely around. I did not have any tools, so I was not able to tighten it :( Heath
Heath, is the bolt itself spinning, or just the hanger? A spinning bolt requires tightening or replacement, while a spinning hanger is awkward to clip, but represents no decrease in strength.
I was there two days ago. The nut on the hanger was loose and I tightened it with my hand, but I didn't have a wrench.
My wife and I did some laps on this route yesterday and didn't notice any problems with the bolts or hangers. I realize the previous post was nearly a month and half ago - I will assume it has been fixed. Thanks to whoever put in the work.
Contrived. The crack to the right of the crux is very nice and easier. Would have been better as a mixed bolts and gear route.
Definitely not 5.8 if you climb the crack to the right, which is hard to avoid, the holds just take you that way. Fun climb nevertheless!
I agree. This route is no more than 5.7 now, especially if you go right like most folks. The direct line is borderline 5.8.
Was climbing "The Mad Scientist" 2 days ago and noticed the top anchors seem a bit wiggly and loose. Didn't have a wrench or epoxy with me. Be careful out there.
I called Front Range last week and was informed that someone would be out there to dress it up. Apparently they have a contract to maintain the routes. Thank you Front Range for helping to keep us safe out there.

Released in 2003, Te Whanganui a Tara me ona Takiwa: Report on the Wellington District is a report on 13 claims relating to the area covered by the New Zealand Company's 1839 Port Nicholson deed of purchase, as extended in 1844 to the southwest coast. The inquiry area consists of the takiwa (district, or environs) of Te Whanganui a Tara (Wellington Harbour or Port Nicholson), including Wellington city and the Hutt Valley. The report deals with the complex process by which this land was acquired from Māori, and with issues relating to the administration and alienation of Māori reserves in the inquiry area.
The Tribunal originally constituted to hear the claims consisted of Bill Wilson (presiding), Professor Gordon Orr, and Georgina Te Heuheu, with Bishop Manuhuia Bennett joining the Tribunal shortly after the inquiry began, but Mr Wilson and Mrs Te Heuheu subsequently resigned from the Tribunal. As a result of these resignations, Professor Keith Sorrenson and John Clarke were added to the Tribunal, and Professor Orr took over as presiding officer. The claims were heard between 1991 and 1999. Sadly, Bishop Bennett died at the end of 2001, before the report was ready for release.
The Tribunal found that the 1839 deed by which the New Zealand Company purported to have purchased the Port Nicholson block was invalid, conferring no rights on the company or its settlers. However, from 1840, company settlers began arriving at Port Nicholson, and quickly came into conflict with local Māori, who discovered that land which they occupied and cultivated had been sold to settlers. Despite an investigation by a Crown-appointed land claims commissioner, which revealed many of the deficiencies in the company's supposed purchase, the Crown agreed to a process whereby Māori would release their interests in 67,000 acres of land to the company in exchange for £1500 'compensation'. The Tribunal found that this process was deeply flawed, and was carried out without the informed consent of Maori .
Furthermore, in 1848 a Crown grant was issued to the company covering not just the 67,000 acres but the whole of the Port Nicholson block, said to contain around 209,000 acres. Māori retained only some 20,000 acres of reserves. This Crown grant deprived Māori of roughly 120,000 acres which they had never sold or consented to give up, and the Tribunal found this to be in breach of their Treaty rights.
Another issue covered in the report is the conflict over Heretaunga (the Hutt Valley). In the early 1840s, parts of Heretaunga were occupied by Ngāti Rangatahi and Ngāti Tama, who had close ties with Ngāti Toa of the Porirua area. Crown officials did not recognise the rights of Ngāti Rangatahi and Ngāti Tama in Heretaunga, where they were living on land claimed by the New Zealand Company and its settlers. Both groups were pressured into leaving the valley by Governor Grey in 1846, Ngāti Rangatahi leaving only under threat of attack by Crown forces. The Tribunal found that the Crown failed to recognise or protect the interests of Ngāti Rangatahi and Ngāti Tama, who were required to surrender their land without their free consent, and who received either inadequate compensation or, in Ngāti Rangatahi's case, no compensation. In addition, the Tribunal found that the Crown failed adequately to recognise Ngāti Toa's interests in the Port Nicholson block.
The report also deals with Māori reserves in Wellington. Part of the New Zealand Company's original plan for the settlement of Port Nicholson was that a tenth of the land acquired by the company would be set aside as native reserves, which came to be known as 'tenths'. The Crown subsequently assumed responsibility for these tenths reserves. Another category of reserves (known as 'McCleverty reserves' after the Crown official who set them aside for Māori) was placed under the direct control of Māori owners, and the bulk of the McCleverty reserves were later either sold or taken for public works. The tenths reserves, however, were administered by Government officials on behalf of the Wellington Māori who were the beneficial owners of these reserves. In 1851 and 1853, the Crown appropriated 23 acres of valuable urban tenths land as endowments for hospital, educational, and religious purposes. The Māori beneficial owners did not consent to these appropriations, received little benefit from the endowments, were not compensated until 1877, and even then received only inadequate compensation. The Tribunal found that these appropriations were in breach of Treaty principles.
For most of the twentieth century, the tenths reserves were placed under perpetually-renewable leases for 21-year terms, a system which effectively alienated this land from its Māori beneficial owners in perpetuity. Furthermore, the beneficial owners received below-market rents due to the setting of rents at a fixed percentage of the value of the land at the start of the 21-year term. This meant that rent could rise to reflect increased land values only once every 21 years. The legislation which imposed the perpetual leasing regime, without the consent of the Māori beneficial owners of the reserves, was found by the Tribunal to be in breach of the Treaty.
Other matters discussed in the report include the taking by the Crown of land for the town belt and other public reserves without the consent of, or payment to, Māori; the creation of reserves in Palmerston North for some Wellington Māori, to replace tenths reserves in Wellington which had been sold by the Crown; the taking of Māori reserved land for public works purposes; and issues relating to the management of Wellington harbour, including the reclamation of much of the harbour foreshore.
The Tribunal concluded that serious breaches of the Treaty by the Crown occurred in the Port Nicholson block, and that these Treaty breaches affected Te Atiawa, Ngāti Toa, Ngāti Tama, Ngāti Rangatahi, Taranaki, and Ngāti Ruanui. It recommended that representatives of these groups enter negotiations with the Crown to settle these Treaty grievances.

Blue Planet Grill NYC
Online Reservations
Unexpectedly great food. Good value. Swing by if you are staying at the Marriott.
Very convenient location - walking distance 9/11 Memorial. Host/Manager was very attentive. We were sat at a table that was a little uncomfortable and the staff realized immediately and moved us to a larger and more comfortable table. One dish that was not to a teenager's liking was removed from the bill without question, and we were asked if we would like something else instead.Would definitely return.
We picked the Blue Planet Grill based on reviews and its location. It is right across the street from the 911 Memorial site. When we arrived at 1:30, there were people waiting to get in. I mentioned my name and reservation and we were told to go right in. Incredible! This must be the worst possible time (Thanksgiving weekend) and we walked right in. Originally, the reservation was for 12 but one more showed up and room was quickly made. The food was delicious. A few of us had hamburgers and they were outstanding. There wasn't a fry left on a plate. The pizza is to die for! I highly recommend this restaurant.

One of the things I love about my job is the opportunity to occasionally experiment with new ideas.
One such project is something that's become something of a pet project. Campus Sessions started last fall when I was walking across campus and saw Colour Code performing outside the W.A. Murphy Student Centre at a Student Union BBQ. I asked them if they'd be interested in performing on camera. They said yes. The series was born.
Since then, I've filmed eight artists/bands performing live—in one take—somewhere on the UPEI campus. As of this writing, there are two more lined up, and several more musicians interested in taking part.
A few weeks ago, Denis Calnan from CBC Radio got in touch with us about doing a piece on the project. I got together with him, along with Sam and Emilee from the aforementioned Colour Code, and we chatted about the project. He did a fantastic job cutting it together, and it aired the next evening on CBC PEI's Mainstreet. Here it is:

Hi All,
Just looking for a report. I was moving this weekend otherwise I would have gone out. Wasn't sure how much stuff is floating in the bay after the storm.
Hi All,
Just looking for a report. I was moving this weekend otherwise I would have gone out. Wasn't sure how much stuff is floating in the bay after the storm.
Took my son out for a few hours Sat morning. We left our community in th Magothy and ran into the bay and didn't see much debris. We caught about a half dozen fish jigging to about 22-24". Had a couple of unders too
"Like" to follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/iFishMD
Fished Fri night just before the storm by 7ft knoll. Off the water by 10:30 PM and it was still nice and calm. The fish were biting great! Jigged a bunch of perch, small rock and one 21" keeper on stingsilvers and other shiny metal. It was fun catching perch by casting versus bait-fishing for once.
Went out Sunday AM @ 6 from the South River with the plan to LTJ. It was so damn hot by 8:30 we put out a 4 rod light spread with small spoons on down planers and a small umbrella with bucktails. Could barely keep all 4 rods in the water. probably got between 20-25 Rockfish. No Blues. Easy limit of 22-24" fish with a bunch of 10-16" fish mixed in. Didn't keep anything and didn't even lift fish out of the water if we could avoid it.
Fished the pier at PLO Saturday evening. 3 puppy drum, 2 toadfish, 3 dink rocks. Didn't see anything else. Used a small jig, and a dropshot rig with circle hook and chunk of Gulp peeler crab.
Fished the Lower Chester yesterday. Tons of Floating grass and Debris. Not a pleasant day.
I intentionally waited until 8:00 to head over to Sandy Point on Mon morning. I had heard that they lost power over the weekend, and the electronic gates had not worked. That was a wise choice, as the power was still out when I arrived. But one of the employees checked my annual pass and waved me in.
I launched at about 8:30 to a nearly empty lot. There were fewer than 20 trailers in the parking lot when I returned at noon. The water looked good. There were a few areas with leaves or grass, but in general it was quite clean for this time of year.
I ran south to Hacketts, Tolleys, and Thomas Pt light. The entire way there I could see lots of fish breaking. These were not the large schools of boiling breakers that we like to see. Rather there were frequent individual fish breaking the surface here and there over many acres. I tried casting to several groups of them using a 4" white twister tail and 3/8-oz jighead (normally my most successful lure for breakers). These fish were not interested in white lures whether cast and retrieved or slowly trolled. After 20 minutes of scratching my head, I swapped out one of the two white twister tails for a chartreuse -- Bingo! the fish started biting. I added a smoke colored twister tail on the second rod and trolled around the Hacketts area picking up a few fish. Later I changed over to a small pink Gulp squid on one of the rods. The fish liked pink too. I jigged a few of the better schools with a 6" BKD and caught only a few 12" fish.
I ran up to the eastern side of the bridge and tried LTJ on some pilings. The outgoing current was running very hard. I was pleased at how well I could hold position while using my bow-mounted trolling motor. I saw only a few screen marks and jigged up just one 16" striper.
The current was moving so fast around the two rockpiles that I did not even bother fishing there.

peerzat | snake couloir Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2005 | |
actually descended the snake couloir. climbed the couloir around the ridge to the west of the snake. this couloir is located on the opposite side of the ridge that is to the southeast of blue lakes basin and southwest of the blaine basin. this route may be the north face couloir. the change of plans came when we saw the mammoth cornice with long icicles hanging off of it making it look like the jaws of death at the dogleg in the snake couloir (see my photo on the sneffels page). This change of plans may have been safer but resulted in a much longer approach. Due to the longer approach, we ended up above the cornice at 2pm rather than the more ideal 10am. don't ask me where the four hours went. We rapped off the cornice (40ft) in hopes of gaining the summit. Once we were in the snow below the monster cornice, conditions were poor, the snow was wet and deep, the sun was glaring down at us from above, postholing 2feet deep per step with just a few hundred feet to go...we felt saving Sneffel's for next year was a good plan and we headed off to the annual toe-tappin', foot stompin' Bluegrass Festival. We'll be back. | ||

Jathan Cantu reached the summit at 11:00 am. My wife, Janna made it to 13,200' before heading back--not bad for her very first high altitude climb. I was surrounded by clouds on the summit which cleared only briefly for some distant panoramic views. The hike up the boulder couloir was cool, literally, and the scramble to the summit after "squeezing" through the V-notch was easy. The summit area was tiny, however, compared to many others. On the downclimb, the sun broke through and made for another perfect day for my 4th 14'er. | ||

Failed once last year on this and came back for another try. Made quick time up the road and up the first gully. Lavender Col is a lot of loose dirt and scree and it's better to stay farther left if you can as there is more solid talus. The 2nd gully is easy and the V-notch is overrated as a move. We made the summit in about 3 hours. | ||

Kennel owner charged Quarryville man faces two counts of animal cruelty BY BRETT HAMBRIGHT, Staff Writer
Animal-control officers raided a Quarryville kennel last week, seizing seven dogs and charging the owner with cruelty.
Amos S. King is charged with two counts of animal cruelty for neglecting the medical care of the dogs, particularly their teeth, police said.
King also was ordered to comply with an officer's conditions or risk having the kennel shut down.
Also last week, two local men were convicted of mistreating dogs in separate cases:
Curvin Weaver, of Ephrata, pleaded guilty Friday to attempting to neuter his Jack Russell mix.
Aaron L. King, of Peach Bottom, was convicted at a summary trial of neglecting his Sheltie after it was struck by a car and seriously injured.
At Amos King's kennel at 1096 Mount Pleasant Road, Humane Society Officer Keith Mohler reported he found numerous dogs in poor health, including seven that were seized. Among the breeds found were Chihuahuas, Yorkies and Schnauzers.
Mohler said he ordered King to make veterinarian appointments for 16 other dogs.
In all, Mohler found about 50 dogs, including 20 puppies, at the Amish farm.
King has made those appointments and is cooperating with officials, Mohler said.
"His intention is to plead guilty," Mohler said.
·Weaver, 42, of Pool Road, pleaded guilty after a passer-by found his Jack Russell mix last month with obvious injuries. The dog, which Mohler said was "close to death," was taken to a local vet for emergency surgery.
Mohler traced the dog to Weaver, who admitted to attempting to neuter the dog with an elastic band.
Weaver pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and was charged the maximum $750 fine, Mohler said. Weaver also paid $803 for the surgery, plus court costs.
Weaver relinquished custody of the dog, now under the care of West Earl Township police.
·District Judge Stuart Mylin convicted Aaron King of neglecting his Sheltie, "Trixie," after it was struck by a car and crippled. King didn't take the dog to the vet even though one leg was broken in the accident, Mohler said.
"It was a three-legged dog," Mohler said, citing the severe injury.
King, of Little Britain Church Road, was ordered to pay a $100 fine and court costs. However, King refused to forfeit the dog, so it remains under his care.

Thinking " out the box " with these perches Sylvia makes for a more interesting image. Wonderful detail on that Bluey and a great BG.
A super capture, Sylvia. Made even better by the BG colour.
A gorgeous image Sylvia, what a wonderful shot of this lovely little bird. As Brian says the background is just perfect

Public Programs and American Values
It is frequently argued that the United States lags behind other advanced industrial societies in public social provision because a broad social policy agenda conflicts to a peculiar degree with core American values. Samuel P. Huntington identifies six such values: liberty, equality, individualism, democracy, the rule of law under a constitution, and concerns for limited and local government.[32] In the next three chapters I will expand this set a bit, but already we see the crux of the problem. In Huntington's terms, these core values collectively provide American political culture with an antistatist tinge that makes ambitious state programs directed against resource inadequacy difficult to achieve. This view is consistent with Donald J. Devine's earlier thesis about the Lockean character of the American political culture.[33]
Nonetheless, there is an undeniable pragmatic, or operational, strand running through American political culture.[34] Anxiety about and instances of vulnerability to various social hazards lead most Americans to support public programs such as national health insurance. Thus in pragmatic affairs liberalism, in the contemporary American sense of the term, predominates, and herein American political culture rather resembles the cultures of other advanced societies.[35] Pragmatic liberalism, however, repeatedly clashes with America's more abstract or ideological principles, which are the domain of the antistatist values of classical liberalism (Locke and Adam Smith).
An alternate analysis of the disjunctions in American values, presented by Jennifer L. Hochschild, observes that with respect to assessments of fairness, or distributive justice, Americans tend to apply different principles to particular domains of life.[36] Concepts of distributive justice tend to be more egalitarian within the family (the socializing domain) and within the realm of public issues (the political domain) than in the workplace (the economic domain). Situations that cross domains (for example, cases in which partici-
pants can be viewed both as fellow members of the labor force and as fellow citizens) frequently provoke confused responses.
It is not clear, however, that the mass culture is especially relevant for the character of American public programs. Various political scientists and sociologists argue that the values of the American elite have been particularly influential in directing American social policy and shaping public opinion.[37] Scholars generally agree on the distinctive character of elite values in the United States, but some question whether all segments of the elite are adequately characterized by Huntington's antistatist collection of values.[38] In general, American bureaucrats are less homogeneous than their European counterparts (broader recruitment patterns), while American politicians are more homogeneous than the Europeans (no leftist parties). Finally, the attitudes of many American bureaucrats and legislators are more favorable to state involvement in social provision than Huntington's description of core values would suggest.
Three assumptions about American political culture inform my analyses and recommendations. First, Huntington's list of core values provides a useful starting point, although it needs to be expanded and the multiple and frequently conflicting meanings of these values must be enunciated. But basically we must accept antistatism as setting some limitations on American public policy.
Second, this collection of values does not form an internally coherent ideology relatively impervious to change. Rather, these values are loosely defined, ambiguous, and inconsistent. In Huntington's words, "Defined vaguely and abstractly, these ideas have been relatively easily adapted to the needs of successive generations."[39]
Third, because these core values are adaptable, a capable and determined group of elites could today—following the example of the originators of social security—reshape American political institutions.[40] In particular, the early Social Security Board successfully distinguished social security from public assistance and placed social security in the category of earned rights, similar to public education, rather than gratuitous public benefits. This emphasis on earned benefits challenged the near stranglehold that self-reliance had previously held with respect to human dignity. Especially against the macroeconomic forces of the Great Depression, a contributory system of earned benefits came to be seen as a dignified
way for individuals to cope with social hazards beyond their control.
The central implication of public social programs is that market distribution is flawed in some respects. This implication leads us to an inquiry about the nature of distributive justice. Wholehearted proponents of laissez-faire argue that free markets represent a natural evolution and that although one may wish to fiddle marginally with distribution, the topic of justice is as irrelevant to a discussion of distribution as to a discussion of mountain lions killing deer.[41] But I want to approach the topic of distributive justice through the concept of socioeconomic rights, rights to basic material resources that sustain human activity.[42] And these rights both reinforce and pose problems for other values of importance to the American cultural context, most notably for negative liberty and economic efficiency.
Before I turn to the matter of distributive justice, the compatibility of socioeconomic rights and two core values can be mentioned quickly and then set aside. There is no inherent incompatibility between socioeconomic rights and the rule of law under a constitution. A particular conception of socioeconomic rights or a particular manner of realizing socioeconomic rights through public programs might be incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. But since 1937, when the Supreme Court held that social security fell within Congress's powers to tax and appropriate funds, there have been no general challenges to the constitutionality of social programs and the rights they create. Additionally, there is no incompatibility between socioeconomic rights and procedural democracy in Huntington's sense of popular control of government. Throughout advanced industrial societies systems of multiple political parties competing in frequent elections held under rules of universal adult suffrage coexist with socioeconomic rights. With these two points behind us, let us examine the compatibility of socioeconomic rights and American conceptions of distributive justice.

With technology (and sound) playing a big part of movies now, and stadium seating in a lot of movie houses, you can pretty much get a good view from just about anywhere. So how do you pick where to sit?
This is what people "in the know" say....You make your decision based on sound. The best seat? In the middle of a row about 2/3rds of the way back. Because audio engineers sit there when they balance sound in a theatre. In the middle, the sound is "neutral". If you want more dynamic sound, move a few seats to the left or right. Personally I look for a seat on the aisle so I can easily go to the men's room quickly without having to trample over anybody on the way there.
They also should determine what to do with the group of idiots that ruin the movie-going experience for everybody else. In that case, the best seats are usually on the couch in my house. More on that tomorrow.

Alappuzha ( pronunciation (help·info)) (Malayalam: ആലപ്പുഴ), also known as Alleppey, is a city in Alappuzha District of Kerala state of southern India.It is the administrative headquarters of Alappuzha District.This town is considered to be the oldest planned town in this region and the lighthouse built on the coast of the town is the first of its kind along the Laccadive Sea coast (reference encyclopaedia of Kerala in Malayalam language). As per 2001 census Alappuzha is the sixth largest city in Kerala with an urban population of 177,029.[1] Alappuzha is situated 62 kilometres (39 mi) to the south of Kochi and 155 kilometres (96 mi) north of Trivandrum.[2] A town with picturesque canals, backwaters, beaches, and lagoons, it was described as the one of the places known as "Venice of the East" by Lord Curzon. Malayalam is the most spoken language. Hindi, English and Tamil are also widely spoken in the town.[citation needed]
Alappuzha is an important tourist destination in India.[3] The Backwaters of Alappuzha are the most popular tourist attraction in Kerala. A houseboat cruise in these backwaters is a delightful experience.[4] It connects Kumarakom and Cochin towards north and Quilon to the South. Alappuzha is also the access point for the annual Nehru Trophy Boat Race, held on the Punnamada Lake, near Alappuzha, held on the second Saturday of August every year, is the most competitive and popular of the boat races in India.[5] The mullackal chirap is also one of the attractions of Allapuzha which is the festive season held ten colourful days every year in the month of December.
Other attractions in Alappuzha are Alappuzha Beach, offering one of the most beautiful views of the Laccadive Sea, Ambalappuzha Sri Krishna Temple, Mannarasala Temple, Chettikulangara Devi Temple, Haripad Subrahmanya Swamy Temple, Mullakkal Temple, Edathua Church, Alappuzha CSI Christ Church (oldest Anglican church in Kerala) and Champakulam Valia Palli. Krishnapuram Palace[6] also attracts many tourists. The tasty ambalappuzha payasam is a popular dessert.
Coir is the most important commodity manufactured in Alappuzha.[7] The Coir Board was established by the Central Government under the provisions of the Coir Industry Act, 1955. There is also a Coir Research Institute functioning at Kalavoor.[8]
Carved out of the erstwhile Kottayam and Quilon districts, Alappuzha district was formed on 17 August 1957 and consisted initially of seven taluks, namely Cherthala, Ambalappuzha, Kuttanad, Thiruvalla, Chengannur, Karthikappally and Mavelikkara.[9]
The name Alappuzha is derived from the geographical position and physical features of the place. It means the land between the sea and network of rivers flowing into it. The district is bounded on the north by Kochi and Kanayannur taluks of Ernakulam district, on the east by Vaikom, Kottayam and Changanassery taluks of Kottayam district and Thiruvalla, Kozhencherry and Adoor taluks of Pathanamthitta district, on the South by Kunnathur and Karunagappally taluks of Kollam district and on the west by Laccadive Sea.[10]
The present Alappuzha district comprises six taluks, namely Cherthala, Ambalappuzha, Kuttanad, Karthikappally, Chengannur and Mavelikkara.[11] Total area of this district is 1414sq.km. The district headquarters is located at Alappuzha.
Alappuzha is a landmark between the broad Laccadive Sea and a web of rivers flowing into it. It is a town in Alappuzha District of Kerala state of southern India.
In the early first decade of the 20th century the then Viceroy of the Indian Empire, Lord Curzon made a visit in the State to Alleppey, now Alappuzha. Fascinated by the scenic beauty of the place, in joy and amazement, he said,
Here nature has spent up on the land her richest bounties. In his exhilaration, he exclaimed, Alleppey, the Venice of the East[12]
Kuttanad, the rice bowl of Kerala with the unending stretch of paddy fields, small streams and canals with lush green coconut palms, was well known even from the early periods of the Sangam age.[13] History says Alappuzha had trade relations with ancient Greece and Rome in the Middle Ages. The early Cheras, who had their home in Kuttanad were called `Kuttuvans` named after this place. Pliny and Ptolemy of the 1st and 2nd centuries had mentioned places like Purakkad or Barace in their classical works. The literary works like "Unnuneeli Sandesam" give some insight into the ancient period of this district, and some archaeological antiques like stone inscriptions, historical monuments found in the temples, churches, rock-cut caves also emphasise its historic value. Christianity had a strong foothold in this district even from the 1st century AD. The church located at Kokkamangalam was one of the seven churches founded by St. Thomas[citation needed] who was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ. It is generally believed that he landed at Maliankara in Muziris Port, presently known as Cranganore or Kodungallur in 52 AD and preached Christianity in South India. The district flourished in the field of religion and culture under the second Chera Empire during 9th to 12th centuries AD. The famous literary work, `Ascharya Choodamani`, a Sanskrit drama written by Sakthibhadran who was a scholar of Chengannur enables us to know many pertinent facts. Further, it is worthy to mention here about the temple on Lord Ayyappa in Mukkal vattam near Muhamma in Alappuzha District. It is called Cheerappanchira from where Lord Ayyappan learnt Kalari fight. Recently an album on Lord Ayyappa titled 'SABARIMALAI VA CHARANAM SOLLI VA' by P. Unni Krishnan has songs illustrating the history of this temple and the Lord Ayyappa's stay here before he took to conquer Mahishi Demon.[14]
Since landing in Calicut in 1498, the Portuguese started playing an influential role in Alappuzha. They started by spreading Catholicism and converting already existing Syrian Christians into Catholics. The famous St. Andrew's Basilica was built by them during this period.[15] In the 17th century the Portuguese power declined and the Dutch had a predominant position in the principalities of this district. They built many factories and warehouses for storing pepper, ginger relying on several treaties signed between the Dutch and the Rajas of Purakkad, Kayamkulam and Karappuram. In course of time they also delved into the political and cultural affairs of the district. At that time Maharaja Marthanda Varma, who was the 'Maker of modern Travancore' intervened in the political affairs of those princedoms.
In the 19th century the district saw progress in many spheres. One of the five subordinate courts opened in the state in connection with the reorganisation of the judicial system by Colonel George Monro was located at Mavelikkara. The first post office and first telegraph office in the former Travancore state were established in this district. The first manufacturing factory for the coir mats was also established here in 1859. In 1894 the town Improvement Committee was set up.
The history of Alappuzha District also murmurs the facts of the prominent role that the district played in the freedom struggle of the country. The historic struggles of Punnapra and Vayalar in 1946 constrained the attitude of the people against Sir C. P. Ramaswami Iyer, who was Dewan of Travancore. And this ultimately led to his exit from the political scene of Travancore. A popular Ministry was formed in Travancore on 24 March 1948 after India`s independence, and on 1 July 1949 Travancore and Cochin states were integrated. The position continued until the formation of Kerala State on 1 November 1956, under the States Reorganization Act 1956. The district came into existence as a separate administrative unit on 1 August 1957.
Geography and Climate[edit]
Alappuzha is located at 9°32′N 76°24′E / 9.54°N 76.40°E.[16] The average elevation is 1 metre (3.3 ft)[17] Alappuzha covers an area of 1,414 square kilometres (546 sq mi) and is flanked by 2,195 square kilometres (847 sq mi) of Vembanad Lake, where one can witness the magnificent union of six major rivers which spread out extensively before joining the 80 km coast line of the district. The town of Alappuzha is crisscrossed by a system of canals, which is a part of the National Waterway 3 (India).[18]
The district is a sandy strip of land intercepted by lagoons, rivers and canals. There are no mountains or hills in the district except some scattered hillocks lying between Bharanikkavu and Chengannur blocks in the eastern portion of the district. There are no forest area in this district.
Alappuzha is gifted with immense natural beauty with the Laccadive Sea on its west. The city has a vast network of lakes, lagoons and fresh water rivers. Due to their closeness to the sea it has developed an unparalleled destination in the maritime map of India.The richness of the coastal Alappuzha waters is expressed annually in the blooming and consequent deposit of a huge quantity of fishes and prawns on the Alappuzha coast called 'Chakara'. This annual shifting of sandbank appears during the post-monsoon period and contributes to the local economy and is a festive season for the people of Kerala. The annual floods rejuvenate and cleanse the soil and water due to which there is abundance of marine life like prawns, lobsters, fishes, turtles,and other flora in the sea. The backwaters and wetlands host thousands of migrant common teal, ducks and cormorants every year who reach here from long distances. One of the major feature of this land is the region called Kuttanad, the 'granary of Kerala'. Kuttanad is also known as the rice bowl of Kerala and is one of the few places in the world where farming is done below sea level. The paddy fields lie about 0.6 to 2 m below mean sea level.[19]
Owing to its proximity to the sea, the climate of Alappuzha is humid and hot during the summer. Although the place remains fairly cool and pleasant during the months of October and November.The average monthly temperature is 27C. The district also gets the benefit of two outstanding monsoons as in the case of other parts of the state. Alappuzha city experiences a long monsoon season with heavy showers as both the Southwest monsoon and Northeast monsoon influences the weather of Alappuzha. The South-west monsoon affects the climate in between the months from June to September. On the other hand the North-east monsoon brings rain from October to November. The average rainfall received by the region is 2763 mm.[20]

According to 2011 census, Alappuzha district has a population of 21,21,943 with 10,10,252 men and 11,11,691 women[23] with a population density of 1492 persons per km2.[24] There are 1,86,022 persons under six years of age in Alappuzha district. The literacy rate of Alappuzha stands at 96.26% out of which 8,95,476 are males and 9,68,082 are females. Alappuzha has a decadal population growth of 0.61%. Alappuzha has a sex ratio of 1100[25] and the urban agglomeration had a population of 282,675 in 2001.[22]
The population is predominantly Hindu and Christian, and there are sizeable numbers of Muslims, too. The most widely spoken language is Malayalam, although there are many people speaking Tamil, and Konkani.
The standard dialect of Malayalam spoken is Central Travancore dialect.[26] Konkani is a language that is spoken in the Konkan region. During the Portuguese and Dutch invasions of the 16th and 18th centuries, many konkanis migrated southwards to Thuravoor[disambiguation needed], Cherthala and Alappuzha in the state of Travancore as well as other places in Kerala like Cochin, Kodungalloor, Kollam etc. A majority of these people settled in Alappuzha.[27][28][29]
Gopal Gireesan is the ruler of Alappuzha. He owns the majority of land and businesses.
The economy of the district is predominantly based on agriculture and marine products. The agricultural activities predominantly revolve around Kuttanad region, the rice bowl of Kerala. Though the district is industrially backward, some traditional industries based on coir and coir products, marine products, handlooms, different types of handicrafts, toddy tapping, have been active from the very early times. The district is known as the traditional home of coir industry in Kerala.[30]
The availability of plenty of raw materials and the existence of backwaters and canals suitable for the getting of green husk and accessibility of transportation are the main factors of the development of this industry. Arabs had carried on trade in coir products from very ancient period. The manufacture of mats and mattings was first introduced in 1859 by Mr. James Durragh.[31]
The Coir Board was established by the Central Government under the provisions of the Coir Industry Act, 1955.[32] There is a Coir Research Institute functioning at Kalavoor.[33] The National Coir Training and Designing Centre was also established at Alappuzha in 1965.[34]
Coir is the most important commodity manufactured in Alappuzha, Kayamkulam, Kokkothamangalam, Komalapuram, Mannancherry, Muhamma and Vayalar,[35] Coir products in Cherthala and Mannancherry, Lime shell in Arookutty and Kodamthuruth, Plywood in Chengannur, Keltron controls in Aroor,[36] Potassium Chloride in Mavelikkara and coconut in Thanneermukkom. The other important commodities manufactured in these towns are copra, coconut oil, glass, mats and matches.[37]
In recent times, tourism has become a major source of revenue. This is mainly due to the presence of houseboats that provide the tourists a view of the scenic backwaters of the city. Another reason is the proximity to other popular tourist spots like Munnar and Varkala.
The city is accessible by air, rail, road and water. Cochin International Airport, which is 78 kilometres (48 mi) to the North, is the closest airport. Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, 159 kilometres (99 mi) to the South, is the other airport that links the district with other countries. International tourists utilise this facility to reach Alappuzha. The other nearest airports are at Kozhikode (236 kilometres (147 mi)) and Coimbatore (254 kilometres (158 mi)). There is also a helipad in the city which however is reserved for government uses.
One major rail line passes through Alappuzha. The railway station is about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) away from the center of the town. Alappuzha Railway Station is linked by rail to cities like Trivandrum, Cochin, Coimbatore, Chennai, Bokaro and Mumbai.[38] A total of four trains originate from Alappuzha to cities like Kannur, Chennai, Dhanbad, and Tatanagar. Since Alappuzha is a prime destination, many trains from important cities, like Banglore, Manglore, Kozhikode, and Amritsar, pass through this station.[39]
Alappuzha is also well connected by road. The town service is served by white and brown coloured private buses with routes starting from Erattakulanagra Temple at Ambalappuzha till Kalavoor. These buses connect the city with the surrounding suburbs. National Highway NH 47 passes through the city connecting the city to other major cities like Coimbatore, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kollam, and Trivandrum.[40] The state run KSRTC runs buses connecting Alappuzha to these cities.
The presence of a lot of backwaters and canals makes water transport a popular means of transport. National Waterway-3 passes through Alappuzha. There is an SWTD boat jetty in the city that lies opposite to the KSRTC bus stand. It is served by regular boat services to major towns like Kottayam and Kollam besides to other small towns and jetties. Taking an SWTD boat is a cheaper alternative to houseboats for enjoying the scenic beauty of Alappuzha.

Alappuzha holds a distinct position in Kerala in terms of literacy rate. Presently, this district has 9 training schools, 405 lower primary schools, 105 high schools and 87 higher secondary schools.[46]

Per the CBA reached in January 2013, teams receiving a "cap advantage" from long-term contracts (defined as seven years or more and entered into prior to the execution of the new CBA) will be penalized in the event the player retires or "defects" from the NHL before the contract expires. A team receives a "cap advantage" when the player's actual salary exceeds his cap hit in a given year. Please note, contracts that fall under the "over-35" rule do not qualify for cap benefit recapture, the NHL has confirmed. In these cases, the team is charged with the player's full cap hit. CapGeek's recapture calculator helps determine whether a team is on the hook for a recapture penalty and if it is, how much:
If Johan Franzen retires or defects in the 2019 off-season (age 39 as of July 1 that year) and is not traded before doing so, following is an estimated breakdown of the recapture penalties for the involved teams.
Team |
Cap benefit the team received (total salary payment less total cap hit) while the player was on the team prior to retirement. Teams do not receive a credit for seasons with negative cap benefit (where cap hit exceeds salary).
Cap penalty charged to the team each season following retirement until the end year of the contract. Penalties do not apply to teams which traded a player prior to the new CBA agreement in 2012.
Detroit Red Wings (2019-20 through 2019-20) | $2,954,545 | $2,954,545 |
IMPORTANT NOTES [ Edited June 2, 2013 ]: Teams do not receive a credit for net negative cap benefit (where cap hit exceeds salary over the course of the contract prior to retirement). However, in calculating net "cap advantage," teams do receive a credit for seasons in which cap hit exceeds salary ... Calculations for players who have been traded during the season are rough estimates based on best information available and may differ from actual league numbers.

Intersection construction not as grim as feared
By: Theron Fly

Voice your opinion
The construction at the Highway 51 and Quality Lane intersection may not be as invasive for traffic flow as originally feared, according to City of Senatobia Public Works Superintendent Timothy Simpson.
Simpson said at an Aldermen meeting last week that, following a revision to the construction plans, the intersection may not close completely.
Traffic is not expected to stop along Highway 51, according to Simpson.
Simpson also said that Wilson Drive will remain open throughout the process and that the city may be able to leave a lane or two open on Quality Lane in front of Walgreens, but that he couldn't say for sure.
"(Quality Lane) would be the only closure if it is fully closed," Simpson said.
Garbage collection change
Simpson also said that the city will now be picking up garbage four days per week, rather than five days per week.
According to Simpson, trash will not be picked up on Fridays and those who currently have their trash picked up on Fridays, will now be serviced on Thursdays.
The decision comes as part of an effort to streamline the waste collection procedure, to save manpower and fuel by collecting waste in a more-efficient manner.
Scott Street and Robinson Street
The Scott Street overlay project is progressing on schedule, according to Simpson, but the Robinson Street overlay project may take another month, Simpson said.
Simpson said that the city may be able to temporarily open Robinson Street at some points in time during the construction by pouring limestone.
Simpson also reported that the new walkway at Sycamore Park is currently being constructed.
Other business:
* Director of the Senatobia-Tate County Animal Shelter Heidi Terrell said that the shelter completed its third year in operation at the end of March. Terrell also said that she had received great feedback on Friends of the Shelter Animals' Pasta for Pets fundraising event and said that the group raised more than $500 in donations, in addition to the profits from the food.
* Senatobia Fire Department Chief Gary Copeland said that his department responded to 104 calls in the month of March.
* Code enforcement officer Joe Engel reported issuing 14 permits for $4,300. The permits represent a total estimated construction value of $594,100 and include four new residential home in the White Oaks subdivision.
* Steve Holts of the Senatobia Police Department said that his department would be increasing patrols in response to the recent shootings in Panola County.
* The board unanimously approved claims for the month of April in the amount of $1,877,755. Frazier made the motion and Nail seconded the motion.
* The board unanimously accepted the resignation of police officer Mike Jones effective March 31. Michael Cathey made the motion and Mike Putt seconded the motion.
* The board unanimously approved the purchase of a Lazer X Series Kawasaki Ultra Cut lawn mower from Western Auto at the state contract price of $9,162 for the Parks and Recreation Department.
* The board unanimously approved the renewal of the Senatobia Fire Department's insurance policy. Frazier made the motion and Nail seconded the motion.
All board members were present at the meeting.
The board entered into executive session to discuss personnel matters. No actions were taken during executive session according to Mayor Alan Callicott. This is the second known executive session since January 1.
