Of all the things that were decided over biscuits, the most important change in plans came when we scrapped the idea of making one huge fountain with six sides in favor of six individual fountains daisy-chained together. The beauty of this is not only that it will be much easier to transport to the reception, but it will also allow us the ability to use the fountain in a circle of three, four, five or six, and eve gives us the option of setting them up in a row along a wall. Cool huh?
The design it very simple now, but it will require more wood. Oh yeah, I failed to mention that this puppy will be made mostly from wood. The illustration here is of one section of the fountain. There will be three levels of drop; The cheese will drop from the pump onto an inclined sheet metal "shelf", where it will cascade to a lower sheet metal shelf, followed by a final drop into an aluminum "retention pond of cheesy goodness". The six segments will be tied together with a top, which will support the motor. Yep, that's the plan anyway.

Indonesia started mass Covid-19 vaccinations in January last year.

"Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again." –W. Clement Stone
When you develop a Positive Mental Attitude, you distinguish yourself from the crowd. You become a leader because positive thinking leads to positive action, while negative thinking leads to apathy and inaction. When you take the initiative in any situation, others will follow simply because they like to associate with people who are positive and know where they are going. In order to lead, however, you must first be willing to discipline yourself. The first rule of leadership is never to ask others to do what you are unwilling to do yourself. You can lead only by example. John Maxwell says, "Leadership is influence, nothing more and nothing less." A good way to find out if you are a leader is to look back. If no one is following, then who are you leading. Being a leader requires you to work harder, longer, and sacrifice more than the others. This shows others that you are the creator and master of your own future and people will follow.
"There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative." –W. Clement Stone
Be positive and passionate. Have an awesome day.

Napa Valley Tours
Are you considering a Napa vacation but wondering if you might get bored with winery tours and tastings? Not to worry: Napa Valley and all the tours available there encompass a wonderful variety of things to do and see.
Why not see the Napa Valley from the air with a balloon ride tour? This is not merely a glitzy place, after all — it has some of the most beautiful landscapes and vistas in the world, marbeled with working vineyards, natural wonders, quaint downtown areas, wildlife preserves, antique trains, old growth forests, wild rivers and dude ranches. Why not enjoy a bird's eye view of it all?
Another option to get an overview of the area — but from the ground — is a "limo tour" that offers flexible scheduling, a knowledgeable local guide and a built-in designated driver! With a private tour, you can select the wineries that appeal to your tastes specifically and design your own schedule and route.
There are also Napa Valley tour operators who offer "bus" tours. These go to the top tasting rooms and other sights on a pre-set schedule, and they are surprisingly affordable.
Remember, though, that the Napa Valley is home to many points of interest other than wineries. Bicycle tours are very popular, with some that are guided and some that outfit you with a self-guided map (and bike/helmet rentals, etc.). Because the weather during the winter months can be unpredictable, some bicycle tour operators offer bus or mini-coach tours instead. But if you are adventurous, why not get the self-guided map and make a full day of it? And, should you want to travel a bit more effortlessly, check out Segway Napa. It's a great way to experience some different locations in the valley!
Winery tours are by far the most popular Napa Valley tours. With over 500 wineries to see — each with its own history, wines, family heritage and unique points of interest — the choices can be overwhelming.
Some wineries are available only by appointment, others are sometimes closed for private events and some are staffed only part of the time, and a winery tour that chooses where to go can offer a helpful and pleasing option. (Not to mention — again! — a designated driver.)
If you're looking for a unique or unusual way to tour Napa wineries, we recommend you check out the tuk-tuk option offered by Laces and Limos. If that's not fancy enough for you, though, how about some super-luxurious transportation — a 1947 Packard Convertible limousine — available from Classic Convertible Wine Tours? Both have a certain "Hollywood" vibe and offer amazing photo opportunities, to boot!
A favorite tour is the Wine Train — a scenic three-hour dining excursion aboard a lovingly restored 1915-1950 Pullman Dining and Lounge car.
There are several different Wine Train experiences available, but our personal favorite is the Estate Tour that leaves late-morning and includes one-hour tours of Domaine Chandon, Raymond and Inglenook wineries along with the mesmerizing train ride and four-course lunch. (You may remember two of those wineries from our Napa Wineries with Interesting Architecture article.)
The Wine Train's Champagne Vista Dome option offers a bit of a splurge for special occasions, but even the Gourmet Express option is an experience you won't soon forget!
There are also more down-to-earth, nature-oriented winery tours available — including options for hiking, biking and/or kayaking between prearranged destinations — and they'll help burn off calories from all the tasty food while you enjoy the amazing terrain. Talk about win-win wining!
Regardless of whether your visit is for a family vacation, a romantic getaway, a corporate retreat, a wedding or simply to get some exercise and enjoy the great outdoors, you're sure to find a Napa Valley tour that fits the bill.

Frida Kahlo
a life in pictures
The restart has a date: Sunday 16 May. On that day, not only will the Sansepolcro Civic Museum reopen, a treasure trove of priceless works and a destination for thousands of tourists, but the great exhibition event of 2021 will also kick off, which intends to repeat the success of the one dedicated to Banksy. "FRIDA KAHLO, A life in images": is the exhibition promoted by the Municipality of Sansepolcro and organized by 'Civita Mostre e Musei' and 'Diffusione Italia International Group' and will be open to the public, in the Civic Museum of Sansepolcro, from 16 May to October 13, 2021. The photographic exhibition on Frida Kahlo intends to pay homage to an artist, much loved all over the world, who embodies one of those cases in which art and biography intersect inextricably, making a character unique. To say that Kahlo was a symbol of her time, the first half of the twentieth century, and of her country, Mexico, in a period of fervent social struggles, is certain but also an understatement, as Frida is now an emblematic figure, an contemporary icon, which summarizes in her art the manifestation of an extraordinary female will, out of any space-time coordinate; in it, artistic genius and tearing suffering, lightness and vital torment, a ribbon wrapped around a bomb, as Breton said, represent mirror faces of an existence out of the ordinary. The exhibition project dedicated to Frida Kahlo ideally concludes a trilogy of exhibitions, which began with Mc Curry and continued with Banksy, whose trait d'union is the fascination that these artists, although so different, have on young people. It is precisely to them that we hope the call of the Piero della Francesca Museum will come in particular.
- Start date: May 16, 2021
- End date: October 13, 2021
- Location: Civic Museum of Sansepolcro
- Country: Italy
- City: Sansepolcro (Ar)
- Address: Via Niccolo' Aggiunti, 65
- Hours: 0-13.30 AND 14.30 19

Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants raised from carrier bag sales in Tesco stores awarded to local community projects.
For disabled veterans at Care for Veterans, the facility is their home whilst they are living there. It is important that the charity provides an attractive, safe and interactive environment for them, both inside and outside the building.
The funding from Tesco and Groundwork has been put towards re-establishing the facility's rehabilitation garden; an area that is wheelchair accessible and disability friendly, where veterans can now grow fresh fruit and vegetables. The produce is then used in the residents' cooking groups, where they learn to make or remake various dishes.
Occupational Therapy Assistant at Care for Veterans, Craig Burley, explains: "The veterans also grow their own flowers which can be used in a sensory area, where sight and smell improves emotional well-being. Their involvement in the garden project helps with their rehabilitation by encouraging them to be active in the outdoor environment, which promotes better health, quality of life and morale."
At the recent Harvest Festival service, held by Care for Veterans' Chaplain, Reverend Beverley Miles, veterans and the Occupational Therapy team presented some of the produce they'd grown, along with jars of jam and jelly, and an apple pie, all made from their own fruits.
Christine Gillott, Senior Fundraiser at Care for Veterans, said: "We are extremely grateful to Tesco and Groundwork for their support. Here, we focus on a multi-disciplinary approach in caring for our veterans, so that they have the best chance at rehabilitation. It is extremely important that they have access to a range of activities which will help them learn new skills, re-learn old ones, and improve their mobility, decision-making and social skills. This grant will help us continue to provide our award-winning care to our veterans."

Retrospect – July in Pictures
Another month has flown by at City of London Sinfonia. During July we had many more performances at Opera Holland Park, as well as two family day concerts in Newmarket and Whitechapel, a performance with Michael Collins at Petworth Festival and a chamber lunchtime concert at St Thomas' Hospital.
The highlight of our month was undoubtedly welcoming the Olympic Torch to Holland Park with our friends from Opera Holland Park. We look forward to August when we'll be taking part in the Paralympic Flame Celebrations in Suffolk.
Here's a few pictures from the past month…

Not all companies are created to turn a profit. In the case of non-profit organisations or charities, the best option for business owners in Singapore is to establish their enterprise as a company limited by guarantee.
The key advantages of running a company limited by guarantee are the following:
- Includes limited liability for stakeholders
- Offers certain tax benefits
- Has a separate legal entity from its members
This article will further explore the features, some examples of companies limited by guarantee in Singapore, and the process of setting it up and getting it incorporated.
Examples of Companies Limited by Guarantee in Singapore
A company limited by guarantee is similar in many ways to a regular limited company. The primary difference is that this type of company has no share capital. In a company limited by guarantee, members are treated as guarantors rather than shareholders.
Charities select this type of company structure when undergoing the incorporation process. However, not all companies limited by guarantee are necessarily engaged in charitable activities. Often, it is used for membership organisations like clubs and sporting associations.
Whatever the primary business activities, this type of company structure is less likely to be used by a regular business since profits are not distributed to members through dividends as they would be in a private limited company.
Features of Companies Limited by Guarantee in Singapore
- Governing regulations. Companies limited by guarantee fall under the jurisdiction of the ACRA and the Companies Act of Singapore. In most cases, this type of company is set up by non-profit organisations that need to obtain corporate status. A company limited by guarantee can also attain charity status, which will be explained subsequently.
- Private company limited by guarantee vs. public company. Companies limited by guarantee are usually public companies since any company with share capital can be established as a private company.
- Liability. In the case of company dissolution, the liability owed by the members will be restricted to the amount that they initially contributed during the conception of the company. The constitution of a company limited by guarantee usually contains a clause for member liabilities and how much they owe in case of an emergency.
- Separate legal identity. Similar to other companies, a company limited by guarantee is treated as an entity separate from its members. It can create or enter lawsuits, enter into contracts, and own property.
The Benefits of Incorporation as a Company Limited by Guarantee
The main advantage of this company structure is that members will be protected from any losses incurred by the company. Even in the case of societies and trusts, which are often considered as alternative business models, society members and trustees are personally liable for the organisation's losses.
However, in the case of a company limited by guarantee, it is treated as a separate legal entity, and its members enjoy limited liability.
Apart from this, companies limited by guarantee are granted certain tax benefits if registered as a charity in Singapore. Typically, they will need to pay at the corporate tax rate of 17%. However, if registered as a charity they can be fully exempt from paying tax.
Process to Incorporate a Company Limited by Guarantee
The requirements for incorporating a company limited by guarantee in Singapore are similar to other companies, in that business owners have to:
- Apply for incorporation with ACRA through the Bizfile+ portal. Here, it is important to mention the primary business activities, as well as the names of the members and the amount they have guaranteed.
- Pay $15 for company name registration as well as an additional fee of $300 for incorporation.
- Depending on the activities carried out by the CLG, it may have to apply for licenses which can cost additional fees. This should be done with ACRA during the registration process.
Audit Requirements for Public Companies Limited by Guarantee
Some of the key audit requirements for a company limited by guarantee in Singapore are:
- They must name all their members as well as the amount each will be liable to pay in the event of dissolution.
- The primary business activities or objectives should be addressed in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
- A minimum of three individuals must be named as trustees, two of whom are either residents or permanent citizens of Singapore.
- An auditor must be hired within three months of incorporation.
- They are obliged to hold annual general meetings as well as annual audits.
- All public disclosure requirements as laid down by ACRA need to be followed.
There are many business structures available in Singapore and choosing the correct one is extremely important as different structures have to comply with different sets of rules. A Company Limited by Guarantee is one of the more beneficial structures for companies that are looking beyond simply making profits.

The way to compose essays could be confusing to many students. The first thing that most individuals believe is that it takes any kind of writing ability. This might not be the situation for many individuals.1 significant thing about the essay that a good deal of people are unaware of is that it needs to be a means of communicating between you and your reader. When you're writing an essay it is crucial that you are able to communicate with the reader so as to know the point that you are trying to make.
It's not enough just to get a good thesis on your own essay. It is also important that you are able to communicate your ideas clearly to the viewers and to the essay author. This is what will make the essay readable and more helpful to your audience. If you aren't able to do this correctly then the essay could turn into a very boring read.
Among the things that you need to bear in mind when writing an article is that you are writing yourself. You want to convey your ideas and feelings into the reader. If you cannot do this, then you'll be wasting your own time composing this essay. If you are unable to do this then you aren't communicating clearly with your viewers.
Essays are not as easy as they seem. There is a excellent deal of information that has to be conveyed to the reader for the article to be prosperous.
Besides the above points it's also crucial that you can complete the essays punctually. There's nothing more awkward than an essay that has been written on a deadline. It is very important that you are able to finish your homework and to do them on time in order to be able to earn your diploma.
Another important part about writing essays will be that you need to be able to finish the assignment in a quick time period. This https://www.wepapers.com/ is where patience comes in. It's possible to finish an assignment per week but you'll be working very difficult to complete one in that brief time period. There will be times that you will find it challenging to finish the mission in a week but don't let that stop you from completing it.

China and the European Union should focus on structural reforms, growth-friendly fiscal policies and more collaboration under the G20 framework as they look to achieve long-term growth, according to a senior official of the European Commission.
Marco Buti, director-general for economic and financial affairs for the European Commission, shared his insights regarding how China and the EU could lift growth even as they face economic headwinds, in an interview ahead of the G20 Summit in Hangzhou.
"The G20 Summit comes at a crucial moment when the global economy's revival is being slowed, and neither advanced nor developing economies can exclude themselves from downward pressure," he said.
The annual growth forecast for the world economy has been lowered by the International Monetary Fund to 3.1 percent, which - alongside Britain's decision to leave the EU - adds further uncertainty both medium - and long-term, Buti said.
As China strives to switch its economic model from export - driven to consumption driven, Europe has been struggling to reinvigorate its strength amid signs that the bloc's recovery remains weak.
All this points to the need to turn to fiscal policies that could help drive innovation and infrastructure investment when monetary policies are found to be less effective, according to Buti.
"These suggestions are in line with what the G20 has been promoting" under China's leadership this year, he said, referring to G20 members' commitment to use all available policies to strengthen growth, promote infrastructure investment and better share expertise.
Buti said he expected both China and the EU to take opportunities provided by the summit to enhance collaboration and knowledge sharing, adding that both key G20 members have attracted private investment flows to infrastructure construction as well as to the development of small and medium-sized businesses.
There has been much, in terms of experience, that the two parties could share and learn from each other, Buti said.
In the meantime, both are able to enhance bilateral collaboration on cross-border initiatives such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Belt and Road Initiative, he added.

No you did
Turkey called in the US ambassador to complain about how the US treated those nice Turkish security people who kicked and beat up protesters in DC last week.
Turkey summoned the American ambassador on Monday to protest what it called "aggressive and unprofessional actions" by American security personnel against Turkish bodyguards during a violent incident last week in Washington. The U.S. ambassador told Turkey's government its guards violated U.S. laws, a senior U.S. official said.
Turkey's action appeared to represent retaliation for the forceful U.S. criticism of the Turkish guards' behavior in the American capital, where they accompanied President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on his visit. The U.S. summoned Turkey's U.S. ambassador last week after the Turkish security officers were seen hitting and kicking protesters outside the Turkish ambassador's residence; one video shared on social media even showed Erdogan watching the melee.
It's true. At 1:14 he gets out of the car, and watches the attack.
Not to mention plain old laws against assault. The protesters weren't attacking Erdoğan, they were protesting. People aren't allowed to assault them just because they don't like the protest. Erdoğan's security people don't have jurisdiction in DC.
Pressure has been mounting on the Trump administration not to let the violence on U.S. soil go unpunished. Last week's incident wasn't the first such case during an Erdogan visit. Last year, a similar scuffle erupted outside a nuclear security summit that Erdogan attended in Washington.
Yes but Trump likes Erdoğan, as he likes all bullies as long as they leave him alone.
And a group of nearly 30 Democratic lawmakers led by Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York wrote Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Monday demanding that the Turkish guards be "arrested, prosecuted and jailed." The prospect of arrest is unlikely — many of them have already returned to Turkey, immunity for those posted in the U.S. is an issue, and the countries are already in an unrelated spat over extradition.
The Democrats also faulted Tillerson for what they suggested was his failure to speak out loudly against the Turkish actions.
Tillerson doesn't care.He's lost in the fog.
This is what incompetent government looks like.

Tampa police officer dies after battle with cancer

In case you haven't visited their site in a while, they're selling open box XSP's for $649. They aren't customer returns or anything bad. Just thought I'd pass that on in case you were waiting on a reduced price.
At this point that drone is a prototype so it would probably be next year.I am waiting for the drone Autel advertises in their video (similar to the XSP) with collision avoidance, and collapsible legs. Looks like the camera rotates 360.
Any rumors as to when this is going to be released?.
What he said.The engineers test fly a few from each batch. At least you know there won't be an out-of-box failure since they've actually been flight-tested.
You r correct after the fact.
Im referring to before 99% knew that peau was available. so lets not forget that most people had no idea how to refocus. Its nice to add comments months down the track as with internet everyone spreads the word. but in the beginning all they cared about was the lens was crap. Anyway we can agree to disagree for ever. I still love the H but glad eventually i did not buy it. The XSP rules for me and once the new camera is released it will be perfect for me.

'Ugly delicious' are the perfect words to describe this ridiculously easy side salad recipe. It's a cos, parmesan, and balsamic shredded salad.
The key to its flavour is adding lots of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic, and salt to the shredded lettuce and coating it thoroughly until it's packed full of flavour. It's best to judge the measurements by 'feel and taste' rather than exact measurements.
This salad is perfect for a BBQ or alongside pizza or pasta and is best served immediately after assembly.
Enjoy the recipe and as always please let me know if you have any questions.
- 1-2 small cos lettuce hearts -OR- 1 small iceberg, cos, or romaine lettuce
- Roughly 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Roughly 3-4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (an aged balsamic vinegar is best for flavour)
- Sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Parmigiano-Reggiano -OR- Grana Padano (for grating)
It's best to judge this salads measurements by 'feel and taste' rather than exact measurements.
- Finely shred the lettuce and arrange onto a serving plate.
- Drizzle over roughly 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 3-4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
- Next, add some sea salt and freshly cracked pepper.
- Toss and combine together with your hands.
- Taste the lettuce and ensure it's fully coated in the dressing and is properly seasoned. Add more balsamic vinegar or salt and pepper if needed. You want a nice punchy flavour.
- Using a superfine grater, grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano over the dressed lettuce until it's completely covered. We want soft 'cloud-like' cheese.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
*This salad is best served immediately after assembly.

Meaning and Origin of the name Warren:
Warren is an English boy's name meaning "watchman" or "park warden."
Warren is a baby boy name that began as a British surname. It has three possible etymologies. The first etymology is the Old English and Middle English warin (derived from the Germanic warjan and meaning "watchman" or "guard"). Secondly, the name may derive from the Anglo-French word warrine. This occupational title referred to a park warden who protected animal enclosures. The third etymology is a family name for individuals who lived near the Norman-French town of La Varenne. Germanic pronunciation in the English language would have altered the colloquial spelling from Varrenne to Warrenne (and eventually produced Warren).

Thanks to the almighty Internet, it's easier to have a long distance relationship nowadays. Back in the days, we only had phone-sex, and it wasn't too efficient. Enter the webcam or cam sex. The tiny trinket that allows us to see our partners while we fondle ourselves. That's sex taken to a whole new level. But is it efficient? Does it offer the same amount of passion as doing it "in person" would? Well, obviously it doesn't, but it certainly helps.
Things to Keep in Mind
First of all, there's nothing perverse about sexing it up with your partner on Skype, because there's nothing perverse when you do it in bed, either. What's more, this may actually keep your relationship alive. Sex is crucial in any relationship. A lack of it can lead to a break-up. If you only meet once a month, it's already bad enough. You've got to keep the passion alive by any means possible. Second of all, it isn't silly. At least after you're accustomed to doing it. You may share a few laughs the first times you do it, but it will become a serious habit fairly quickly.
Leave your inhibitions at the door
Do you feel all tense, shaky and sweaty when you do it in the bedroom? If you do, you've got a problem. Behave as if your partner was right there. Don't keep on thinking you're masturbating in front of a camera.
Take your time
Just like you would do in person, don't skip foreplay. Undress yourselves slowly, talk dirty to each other and get yourselves in the mood. Don't just whip it out or start flicking the bean as quickly as the connection was established. It'll ruin it.
Don't fear your orgasm
Yeah, just go ahead and orgasm right there, because here's the inside scoop: nobody cares. BAM! If you're running to the bathroom holding it in the sleeper's hold, she won't feel complimented on her good work. Same thing goes for women. Embrace the orgasm. You can scream all you want and shiver like you are having a stroke. It will make your man feel good about himself.
Do some talking at the end
Don't just orgasm and close the webcam window. Have a conversation, like you would in person with after cuddles. Talking will replace the cuddling that takes place when you jump each other's bones in the now-deserted bedroom.
To answer your question: even though it's nothing like having it in person, Skype-sex does work, provided that both partners feel the same way about it. You'll be shy the first couple of times – for no good reason, really – but you'll master it quicker than you think. If you're in a long-distance relationship, you are highly advised to bring this offer to the table. You'll get more comfortable with each other. Also, you'll know that the connection between you two isn't gone, regardless of how far away you are. Just get a good Internet connection.

New Zealand's "go hard, go early" strategy pays out for large and small scale productions
New Zealand currently has no new Covid-19 cases as a result of the country's "go hard, go early" approach to the virus. The country is now moving towards the 'Level 1' lowest level of Covid-19 response which will require no physical distancing requirements at all.
There spells positive news for the New Zealand film, TV and commercial industries which was set to see the country host mega studio-sized international productions including Avatar and Lord of the Rings.
The industry has set out detailed guidance on close contact including actors being in close contact on screen. There is also no upper cap on numbers for crew and cast. As long as robust Health and Safety standards are met meaning that large scale productions can begin again, as both Avatar and Lord of the Rings are preparing to do.
"We have no upper cap on numbers for crew and cast – so long as we are operating within the guidelines we can work with either a smaller more nimble production, or a full noise large scale crew. Thanks to that, huge productions like feature film series Avatar are back in prep alongside other Features & TV series like The Lord of the Rings which are set to return to work shortly. Long-running soap operas and commercial shoots are already happening with increasing scope and scale, as we return to the new normal" say the New Zealand Advertising Producers Group.
In early June, James Cameron and fifty-five members of his crew were permitted to enter the country and quarantine for fourteen days before filming begins again on the first of the four Avatar sequels.
Although currently the country has an entry ban, The New Zealand Advertising Producers Group are working on a process for exemption to allow overseas filmmakers to enter New Zealand which currently means spending some time in quarantine during prep.
Other options include the 'connected set' which allows even the most remote and epic locations, which New Zealand has in abundance, to the agency's living room and have already been used in the country.

- DinamicOR
by feed_admin
Many surgeons and hospital administrators constantly complain about Operating Room efficiency, or lack of it, and there's good reason for that. OR operations are routinely at the top of the list when it comes time to review the costliest divisions in any healthcare facility. While some hospitals have made a genuine effort to become more efficient and lower costs, others remain complacent about the status quo and don't want to tinker with a system that they feel is working already. A study released in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons described some low-cost steps which could be taken to achieve greater efficiency and lower operating room costs.
Establish an all-inclusive OR team
A great advantage can be achieved by implementing a team of individuals who actually work in the operating room, as well as those who are most interested in the procedures and outcomes from the facility. This should ideally include personnel from anesthesia and surgical services, nursing managers, patient rights representatives, and senior-level surgeons. These individuals could have regular ground-level discussions about what works well in the OR, as well as where inefficiencies exist. They could also make recommendations on how some situations might be improved or resolved and consider each of these in the context of hospital budget.
Assign an OR Schedule Manager
There should be a formal schedule manager appointed to oversee the assigned workflow in the Operating Room, so that it can be made as efficient as possible, even under a heavy workload. A good choice for this kind of manager would be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) because he/she could have a dual role which also included enforcement of any quality initiatives which are introduced into the OR When things aren't running smoothly enough, there would be a single person to contact about bottlenecks or slowdowns, so that action items can be identified and addressed.
Install the DinamicOR Back Table
From the standpoint of workflow efficiency, this improvement will be one that is highly visible, and it will be one whose effects are immediately recognizable. Everyone who works in an OR will recall times when instruments were missing or couldn't be found, especially at critical times. The DinamicOR Back Table completely overturns this area of inefficiency because it makes more than 90 percent of all surgical instruments visible when they are most needed.
The organization and high visibility make it easy to quickly put hands on any needed instrument, so work can proceed without interruption. The system comes with an adjustable back table, a durable drape, and the DinamicOR+ Workflow Management App, which will detail how other efficiencies can be gained in the operating room.

Below you will find descriptions of the terminology used on the website and especially within the Insight Research Platform (IRP).
BSIP Reference |
A unique, permanent reference to a given source, image or research target. Learn more about BSIP References. |
Collective Source | A physical binding together of several Sources, each of which is generally considered a work of art in their own right. This binding can take many forms such as buildings, books and manuscripts. In general it pulls together Sources which are bound into the fabric of something. For example, buildings may encompass stone sculptures and frescoes (because they are paintings which are physically bound into the fabric of a building). Other examples are illuminated manuscripts and books of all kinds including printed books and albums. A Collective Source is not merely the place were several movable artworks are co-located. So a painting on canvas located in a church is not part of a Collective Source, unless it is bound to the fabric of the building itself. |
Custodian Reference | This is used on Sources and Collective Sources. For Collective Sources it is most used with regard to manuscripts and provides the holding institution's main reference for the manuscript, and on the Source the Custodian Reference then refers to the specific folio or page. If the Source is part of a Collective Source that is a building, it will refer to the location of the Source. In most other cases where the Source is not part of a Collective Source it will be the holding institution's reference such as a shelf mark, inventory number or accession number. |
Dates - Decades, Centuries etc. | BSIP uses centuries based on numerical years 0-99. Similarly half centuries are 0-49 and 50-99, quarter centuries 0-24, 25-49, 50-74 and 75-99. Decades based run 0-9, half decades 0-4 and 5-9. This distinction is important when data is aggregated, such as with temporal profiles and can be seen on the IRP Dashboard. |
Depiction | A visual representation of something such as an instrument, bow or musician. |
Earliest Year | The earliest date in a date range. It will always be equal to, or earlier than the Midpoint Year and Latest Year. Where no range is specified it will be the same as both the Midpoint Year and Latest Year. |
Geographic Box | A box defined by lines of two of latitude and two lines of longitude. These are used in advanced searches, and are specified by defining one line of latitude and one line of longitude and the width and height of the box. Because the Earth is an oblate spheroid these boxes change their shape and physical size depending on where they are located. |
Geographical Temporal Profile | A Temporal Profile where the data has been separated out by geographical region. It provides a better understanding of whether or not the data being presented is being dominated by volume of data from specific regions. |
International Image Interoperability Framework. An international standard used to deliver images on the web. Learn more about how BSIP uses IIIF. Learn more about the IIIF standard at Wikipedia . |
Image | Used very much in the computing sense of the word. A given source may have any number of images associated with it showing various aspects of that source. |
Image Revocation | An image that is no longer required is not simply removed, but is revoked with a reason. This preserves image numbering. The image number is not re-used. |
Last Known Location | The place we last knew the work was owned/located. It is not a live update on where a work is located. We do not track works of art touring the world in exhibitions, instead these works will be listed against the custodian that is considered to own a work. This field is updated infrequently. If you can provide newer information please do contact us. |
Latest Year | The latest date in a date range. It will always be equal to, or later than the Earliest Year and Midpoint Year. Where no range is specified it will be the same as both the Earliest Year and Midpoint Year. |
Liberal Licence | Used to identify the copyright restrictions of images. This flag identifies whether or not BSIP may pass the image on to members of the public or whether we must restrict the image to researchers. Where an image must be restricted a thumbnail of max long side of 300px will be presented to the public, in order for searching and identification purposes. |
Midpoint Year | The mean year (rounded to nearest whole year) in a date range. It will always be equal to, or later than the Earliest Year and equal to or earlier than the Latest Year. Where no range is specified it will be the same as both the Earliest Year and Latest Year. |
Mirador |
An external IIIF viewer that may be used to compare two or more images from the BSIP database or external repositories. Learn more about comparing images. Learn more about the the Mirador project. |
Permalink | A hyperlink that we guarantee will not change and will be available as long as the system is available. These links may be used in citations. |
Relations | Sources that have some association with each other. The reasons for association can be wide and varied. |
Research Target | A depiction of a feature that we are interested in for research. For BSIP this means either a bowed string instrument, a bow used to play such instruments, or a musician who is connected to these items. |
Root original | Where a work is essentially copied from another, the Root Original is work that the work in question has ultimately copied. For instance, the root original for a print will be the original artwork that the print is of. |
Source | An object (potentially purely digital) that includes depictions of features that we are interested in (Research Targets). |
Source Revocation | Where a Source is found to not contain any Research Targets, where previously it was thought it did, it will be revoked. Revocation is made with a reason, and that reason is recorded against the Source BSIP reference. BSIP References are not re-used. |
Temporal Profile | Describes how Sources are distributed across time. They provide an insight to the make-up of a data set, and can be used to identify where an analysis of the data may be dominated by a given period, or to identify areas where low volumes of data were available. For any given data set we can be represented using a graph showing numbers of Sources related to a given time period. An example of this can be seen on the IRP Dashboard, where the entire BSIP database is profiled. |

Poll: Obama leads Romney in swing states
President Barack Obama holds an edge over presumed Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the competitive states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida, a Quinnipiac University poll shows.
Obama leads Romney by 9 percentage points in Ohio, 6 points in Pennsylvania and 4 points in Florida, according to the June 19-25 "swing-state" survey released yesterday. Obama has gained ground in Ohio and Florida, while his lead in Pennsylvania diminished slightly, compared with a Quinnipiac poll released on May 3.
The president's move to stop deportations of some illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children helped win over voters, said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Hamden, Conn.-based Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. The president holds almost a 2-1 lead among Hispanic voters in Florida, the poll found.
"If he can keep those leads in all three of these key swing states through Election Day, he would be virtually assured of re-election," Brown said in a statement. "Of course, the election is more than four months away, which is a lifetime in politics."
No one has won the White House since 1960 without carrying at least two of the three states surveyed in this poll; Obama won all of them in 2008. The three states combined hold 67 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.
In Florida, Obama leads Romney 45 percent to 41 percent, the poll showed. In the swing-state poll released May 3, the president led by 1 point, meaning the race in the state was a virtual dead heat.
The revised deportation policy Obama announced June 15 and his June 22 address to the meeting of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. -- following a Romney speech to the group the previous day -- boosted the president's standing with Hispanics in that state, according to Quinnipiac poll data.
Voters in the other two states in the poll were also supportive, backing the policy 52 percent to 38 percent in Ohio and 51 percent to 41 percent in Pennsylvania.
In the fight to carry Ohio, Obama leads Romney 47 percent to 38 percent, the poll showed. In the May 3 swing-state poll, Obama was up 44 percent to 42 percent.
In Pennsylvania, Obama leads 45 percent to 39 percent in the latest poll; in the survey released May 3 he was backed by 47 percent to Romney's 39 percent. Obama has a 12-point edge with women voters in the state in the latest poll.
The poll's margin of error in each state is plus-or-minus 2.8 percentage points. Quinnipiac surveyed 1,200 voters in Florida, 1,237 in Ohio and 1,252 in Pennsylvania.

Climate change may cause future pandemics – study
At least 15,000 new species-to-species viral transmissions could take place over the next 50 years, as global warming drives wild animals to migrate toward human territory, according to a study published on Thursday. Researchers warned that these animals could spread diseases like SARS, Ebola, or Zika to humans, with Africa and Asia most at risk.
While some argue that the Covid-19 pandemic likely began in a laboratory, many scientists believe that the coronavirus first jumped to humans at a "wet market" in the Chinese city of Wuhan. Such markets – where live animals and meat are sold alongside each other – have long been condemned as hotspots of animal-to-human viral transmission, but scientists are now warning that climate change could replicate the conditions of a wet market on a global scale.
The study, published in the 'Nature' journal on Thursday, predicts that a rise in global temperatures of even less than two degrees Celsius will shift the habitats of some wild animals closer to those of people, potentially introducing humans to tens of thousands of viruses currently restricted to the wild.
"The closest analogy is actually the risks we see in the wildlife trade," said lead author Colin Carlson, a professor at Georgetown University Medical Center. "We worry about markets because bringing unhealthy animals together in unnatural combinations creates opportunities for this stepwise process of emergence — like how SARS jumped from bats to civets, then civets to people. But markets aren't special anymore; in a changing climate, that kind of process will be the reality in nature just about everywhere."
Bats, the study predicted, will drive the majority of transmission. This is because they are known reservoirs of viruses, make up around 20% of all mammal species and can fly long distances. As a "global hotspot of bat diversity," Southeast Asia will be a flashpoint for new transmission, the researchers warned. However, more than 3,000 species of mammal will likely migrate to new habitats, and densely-populated areas like Africa's Sahel region, India and Indonesia, will also be at risk, the researchers wrote.
The study rests on several assumptions: that the world will continue getting hotter, that animals will migrate as predicted, and that the pathogens they carry will find a way to infect humans.
"It's unclear exactly how these new viruses might affect the species involved," co-lead author Gregory Albery said, "but it's likely that many of them will translate to new conservation risks and fuel the emergence of novel outbreaks in humans."
Even if global warming is kept under the 2 degrees threshold, described as a "worst-case scenario" in the Paris Agreement, future viral spillovers may happen anyway, Carlson's team warned.
"When a Brazilian free-tailed bat makes it all the way to Appalachia, we should be invested in knowing what viruses are tagging along," Carlson said. "Trying to spot these host jumps in real-time is the only way we'll be able to prevent this process from leading to more spillovers and more pandemics."

This is Nigeria where everything happens… Just a reminder, if you have not yet registered for National Identity Number (NIN), you'll risk going to Jail for 14years said the minister of information.
So far, 51million citizens have enrolled for the National Identification Number (NIN) as of March 31, 2021. Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami, made this known at the weekly Presidential Media briefing organized by the Presidential Communication Media Team in Abuja on Thursday.
He also revealed that about 189 million subscribers of the Identification Module (SIM) had been registered in the country. According to the minister, only a 150million out of the 189million have completed their registration while the remaining have problems of improper registration.
Pantami reminded all citizens to enroll for the NIN, warning that those yet to obtain the NIN risk seven or 14 years imprisonment as stipulated by the Nigerian Constitution.
"Based on the requirement by law every citizen and the legal resident must obtain his/her National Identification Number (NIN), which is being coordinated by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
It's a requirement by law but many citizens ignore it. "What we achieved in the area of enrolment from the time Mr. President has directed me to supervise NIMC till date is unprecedented and we would continue to ensure that in the next few years we have an almost complete database of all our citizens in the country.
According to him, while obtaining a SIM card may be optional, NIN is mandatory, noting that a lot of transactions in the country are not supposed to be carried out without NIN. (NAN)

Pokes with a Purpose NIL Collective Will Match Oklahoma State Athletes With Charities
Last Updated on June 22, 2022
On May 27, 2022, Oklahoma State University quarterback Spencer Sanders tweeted about Pokes with a Purpose, a new NIL collective focused on charitable efforts. This is the institution's second non-affiliated NIL collective, the first being Unbridled.
The collective states on its website that it will help college athletes use their name, image and likeness to raise awareness for community charities. It emphasizes the media exposure will both benefit the athletes and also be channeled to the charities to help Oklahomans in need.
Pokes with a Purpose says the athletes, in turn, will receive character building experiences and partnership within community on top of compensation for NIL usage.
According to the press release, the people involved in leading this movement include former OSU wrestler, ESPN commentator and UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier, and former NFL players Kenyatta Wright and Brendan Weeden.
In the press release, Weeden said what set the collective apart was how they catered for both recruited and walk-on athletes alike.
"The fact that this NIL helps all varsity sports, men and women," Weeden said, "whether it be a full scholarship, partial scholarship, or a walk-on athlete, sets us apart from any collective out there … and reinforces the culture of family at OSU."
Wright welcomes the opportunities NIL is bringing about, which he dubbed unprecedented.
"There is simply no place like Oklahoma State University…there is a respect and family mentality that has nurtured and furthered so many athletes through the years to play at a higher level," Wright said. "This combined with unprecedented NIL opportunities should make OSU very attractive to any collegiate player."
Ed Raschen, an OSU alumnus and board president, said the collective was formed to go beyond the monetization opportunities of NIL and create experiences that athletes can take beyond school.
"While many programs intend to solely monetize a player's NIL opportunities, Pokes with a Purpose will create intrinsic opportunities along with a hands-on experience in entrepreneurship and money management," said OSU alumnus and board president Ed Raschen. "We want the athletes to be able to win in their sport but also win in life and an important part of winning in life is learning how to give."
With this launch, Oklahoma States athletes will enjoying backing from Unbridled, an NIL collective focused on monetizing NIL opportunities, as well as new charitable opportunities with Pokes with a Purpose, which has already been approved as a 501(c)(3).

Kenya's deputy president has ordered government administrators in the country's central region to enforce a one-pub-per-town directive that was issued last week.
Rigathi Gachagua also wants entertainment joints in the region to only operate between 17:00 to 23:00 in new measures meant to deal with alcoholism.
There are fears the directives could see many resort to homemade alcohol – often laced with industrial chemicals. Deaths from illicit brews have previously been reported.
But Mr Gachagua on Thursday insisted that alcoholism in the region was dire and told officials not to renew pub licences once they expire.

Since 2018, KTM's 250 SX-F has produced some of the highest figures of any 250 four-stroke motocross bike on the Dirt Rider dyno. That is true once again for 2022, as the 250 SX-F spun 39.8 hp at 13,400 rpm and 19.1 pound-feet of torque at 8,700 rpm. With those numbers, the orange ripper spins the most peak horsepower and torque of the standard models in its class.
Which 250F motocrossers produce more than it? That would be the 2022 KTM 250 SX-F Factory Edition and 2022 Husqvarna FC 250 Rockstar Edition. We'll post the dyno results and videos of those bikes at a later time, so stay tuned to see how much power those two special-edition models make.

What Does Spinach Taste Like?
Raw spinach has a mild, slightly sweet taste that is particularly refreshing when added to salads. While its flavour becomes a tad acidic and bold when cooked. Unlike lettuce, which provides a bitter and profound crunch when bitten, Spinach leaves aren't crunchy as you would assume. Spinach can take on a bitter flavour when wilted, which is why many prefer to use fresh spinach leaves in salads, and smoothies.
Adding Spinach to Smoothies
Spinach is a power-packed veggie, that is fantastic when added to smoothies, it has a pretty neutral flavour and doesn't remove the sweetness from your smoothies. Spinach is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, providing that powerful, yet refreshing boost we all require from our early morning smoothies.
Does Spinach Alter the Taste in Smoothies?
Essentially, you could add spinach to almost anything, because the taste is perfectly neutral, allowing you to enjoy the brilliant nutrients it provides, without an overpowering potency. You can appreciate the sweet flavours of the fruits added to your smoothie, whilst your body can appreciate the benefits coming from the few spinach leaves.
Frozen Spinach vs Raw Spinach
Frozen spinach is a great way to add greens to smoothies. It's more convenient than raw spinach, and it's also more affordable. Frozen spinach has a more robust flavour than raw spinach, so you don't need as much of it in your smoothie. This means that while frozen spinach costs less than fresh or organic baby spinach, you get the same nutritional punch with less money spent on ingredients.
The amazing part about having frozen spinach is that you can blend it in your favourite recipes, for a nutrient-packed punch, or use it to make savoury recipes like soups or stews. Additionally, if you're looking to add more greens to your diet, then using frozen spinach in your fruity smoothies is a great way to do this. Frozen spinach is much easier to blend than raw spinach, meaning that it won't leave large leafy remnants behind when blended.
Is Frozen Spinach Good for Smoothies?
Yes, you can use frozen spinach in your morning smoothies. Freezing the spinach doesn't change the taste, or remove the nutrients present in the leafy veggie. The high fibre content of frozen spinach makes it an excellent weight loss food, as it helps reduce the appetite by making you feel full for longer periods. Frozen spinach is quite convenient since its already cleaned, chopped and frozen, and much cheaper than fresh spinach, especially if you buy it in bulk.
Alternatively, if you've used some fresh spinach, and have a little leftover, you could freeze the rest for the next day, so that it remains fresh, and doesn't wilt, or turn watery when kept in the fridge.
Is It Safe to Freeze Spinach?
You may be under the impression that frozen spinach is a poor substitute for fresh, though this is a misconception. In fact, frozen spinach can be just as good for your smoothies as fresh. The nutrition found in raw spinach, is in no way eliminated when the spinach is frozen.
Can You Freeze Raw Spinach for Smoothies?
When planning to freeze raw spinach you should opt for the best quality you can find. Wash and dry it thoroughly before chopping it up and placing it in a freezer bag or container. Simply remove the stems, then chop the leaves into smaller pieces, seal them in a freezer bag, and pop them in the freezer, ready for your smoothie.
Can You Use Frozen Fruit in Smoothies?
Using frozen fruit in smoothies can be a great way to make your smoothies thicker, creamier and less watery. Though frozen fruits are brilliant for smoothies, you do have to be mindful about the ratio of frozen to fresh ingredients. You'll also want to ensure that your frozen fruit doesn't overpower your other ingredients, like greens that tend to pack their own set of potent flavours. For instance, if you're using kale or spinach as one of your main ingredients in a green smoothie, apples and bananas won't do anything other than enhance their flavour and cause your drink's temperature to rise dramatically, which isn't so great during the hot summer days.
How to Make a Spinach Smoothie?
If you're planning to use frozen spinach in your smoothies, you shouldn't thaw the spinach before blending, as the extra moisture will dilute the taste of your smoothie.
To make this green spinach smoothie, you only need 4 ingredients: spinach, pineapple, kiwi, and your choice of milk. You could use frozen fruit and spinach for this recipe, in order to keep the same thick consistency. Furthermore, the frozen ingredients will create a cold, refreshing beverage, perfect for the warmer days.
To make the smoothie, add the spinach and fruit, then top it with milk. You could use half milk and half water instead, but the choice is yours. Blend this mixture of high speed for 40 to 60 seconds until the smoothie is thick and creamy.

A year ago, Robert Glasper made the comment that Gospel artists today are being lazy and are lacking creativity. He said, instead of writing lyrics they're just singing scripture.
Cheryl Jackson asked Todd Dulaney about his comment a year ago and he took it to heart. This conversation sparked a movement to sing the scripture (verbatim). In fact, Todd Dulaney just released a brand new EP called "Back To The Book". Pretty creative huh? I guess Robert Glasper was wrong because the reaction to this concept has been life-changing.
Check out Todd Dulaney's new single Psalm 18 and download the full EP "Back To The Book"!
