Nursing practices to detect acute delirium, safeguard patients experiencing acute delirium, and help reduce or eliminate acute delirium
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
Acute delirium is very common among hospital patients, particularly older patients. Nurses have a major role in the care of these patients, yet there are no evidence-based nursing care guidelines to help nurses detect patients who are experiencing acute delirium, safeguard them, and assist their recovery. This study sought to identify and prioritize nursing practices for detecting these patients, safeguarding them, and assisting their recovery from acute delirium. A two-stage voluntary paper Delphi survey was used for this purpose. This study targeted all nurses who worked on adult medical/surgical units at two full-service acute care hospitals in Western Canada who had cared for a patient diagnosed with acute delirium in the past 12 months. The first survey revealed many nursing practices exist to detect, safeguard, and assist recovery. The second revealed one preferred practice and four others for each of the following: Detecting acute delirium, safeguarding patients, and helping patients recover. Research is now needed to establish if these constitute "best practice" nursing care for enhanced patient outcomes.

Derek Loosvelt

Investment banking analysts and associates notoriously work very long hours. It's not uncommon for a corporate finance analyst at a prestigious bank in New York to regularly work more than 90 hours each week, or for an M&A or restructuring associate to put in more than 80 hours week after week. And it's not even all that unusual for first-year analysts at busy Wall Street firms to log in more than 100 hours in a single week (which means, on average, working more than 14-hour days).
Although these heavy workloads might seem unfair and inhumane (even considering the significant salaries and bonuses junior bankers receive, which, when reduced to hourly wages, aren't all that handsome), most undergraduate and MBA students entering banking know full well what they're getting into; they're well aware that they'll be putting in nearly triple-digit-hour workweeks and that their lives will largely, if not entirely be spent working. However, what they aren't aware of, in many cases, is that the generous vacation time promised to them before they begin to work might never come to pass—that is, although they officially "get" vacation time, many analysts and associates are unofficially discouraged from taking it.
This past spring, Vault surveyed* more than 3,000 investment banking professionals, asking them to rate and tell us about various quality of life issues, including company culture, working hours, work/life balance, relationships with managers, career development, compensation, and benefits. With respect to benefits, what many respondents told us, among other things, is that although working remotely is increasingly being encouraged, using vacation days isn't.
Here's one bulge-bracket analyst speaking about his workload and supposed vacation allotment:
Some days I crank from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m., while other days I come in at 11 a.m. and have nothing to do—both of which I'm fine with. However, it's the weekend unpredictability that's most difficult. Seniors treat Saturdays, Sundays, and major holidays as if they're normal Monday mornings. There's no acknowledgement that you could be relaxing with friends or family, and they're unapologetic, to say the least, about pulling you into the office on an off-day. It's painful to cancel consecutive vacations or long weekends that you've planned weeks and sometimes months in advance."
At another bulge-bracket bank, an insider says that although "we're able to work from anywhere—we have BlackBerry and remote login access—given the scaled-down teams, there's more work to go around, which makes it difficult to take full advantage of vacation and the flexibility we're afforded." A colleague at the same firm concedes that vacations can be taken, but notes you're not exactly relaxing on the beach. "You work all the time," she says. "That's the long and short of it. You can mostly be flexible, which is great, but you work all the time, even on vacations, every night, every weekend. You're always on call."
Yet another young bulge-bracket banker notes that the workload can be detrimental to your health:
Although [the firm] emphasizes the importance of work/life balance, when push comes to shove, little is done to turn the rhetoric into reality. Managers regularly acknowledge that their junior resources are 'slammed' or 'drowning' but don't offer solutions. Systems have been created to track hours with the goal of helping to distribute work more evenly, but little has come from that. For me, personally, the absence of a social life outside of work, the inability to plan vacation with my close friends or family, and general lack of sleep and downtime have resulted in malaise and even physical health issues.
To be sure, it's not only at the large investment banks that insiders are discouraged from taking their vacation days. A banker at a leading middle-market investment bank based in the Midwest says, "I feel well compensated but I lose unused vacation days above 15 days. So I lose about five to 10 vacation days per year." A junior banker at a global bank in New York has the same experience. "Most employees don't come close to using their full four weeks," he says, "and only five days can be rolled into the following year."
According to a banker at a boutique in New York, it's not just the workload that prevents juniors from taking their vacations. "Even though your contract specifies a certain number of vacation days," he says, "no one actually takes them all due to obligatory face time and perception concerns."
Of course, not all banks—or business units or senior bankers within banks—are created equally. There are firms and divisions and managers that (sort of) encourage juniors to head to the beach or mountains for a few weeks each year. Here's a bulge-bracket associate talking about her experience: "While hours are long, remote connect allows for flexible hours, particularly on the weekends. Vacation time can sometimes be challenging to take, but my experience has been that if you take it at certain seasonally slow times, you're able to use it more than what the public perception out there really is."
And a junior banker at a mid-market firm says, "There's not a lot of pressure to put in face time. If I can take a long weekend or a vacation, my superiors are happy for me. The job, however, is very demanding, and those opportunities are very limited."
*Later this summer, the week after Labor Day, we'll be releasing the results of our most recent Banking Survey, unveiling which firms rank as the most prestigious, which are considered the "the best to work for," and which offer the best benefits, among other categories.

Varga012 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 212 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
Quickie Salad
We do fast chopped-style customized salads. Our primary customers are young professionals during lunch hour. The business model is like that of "Just Salad" or "Chop'd" (look em up!).
Quickie Salad is another restaurant that joins the healthy fast food trend by selling chopped, customizable salads primarily to young professionals. The idea tries to capitalize on the growing health-consciousness of younger business people (mostly ages 23-50). Our customers are people who are seeking to keep a good-figure and remain healthy, but who don't have time to have a sit-down meal or salad due to their busy schedules. We pride ourselves on the high quality of our food, perfectly fresh vegetables delivered daily, our great variety of dressings, and the friendly smile of our employees.
Even though we don't want this to come across in the logo, we purposely chose the name "Quickie" with the idea of using the sexual overtones of the word for playful marketing purposes (e.g., our employees will be wearing t-shirts that say "let's have a Quikie", or "next time I should have a Quickie with a different friend"). It does, however, illustrate the playfulness of our brand. We don't want this to be a serious brand.
We want the logo to be brightly colored but clean. We want it simple. We expect it to draw the attention of people walking by our store in one of the largest metropolises in the world. We would like a "letter form" logo, so that we can use the letter "Q" on its own in several products. We expect, for example, to sell hard plastic bowls with the letter "Q" or the word "Quickie" on them (so the logo has to be simple enough to be, not printed, but molded into plastic). BUT, aside from using the Q we would also like a logotype that represents salads (basically, as explained below, the Q will be used for other Quickie brands, but we want Quickie Salad to also have its own salad-related logo). The reason why we would also like a pictorial mark, is again, because it has to be extremely obvious to a passerby that we serve salads.
The logo and name will be on everything: T-shirts, caps, bowls, cups, napkins, menus, signs, posters, pamphlets, business cards, website, etc. So please keep that in mind when designing. If specific help is needed for the placement/branding of any of the above, we would probably want to engage the same designer that wins this (as long as they know how to do this, of course).
Lastly, we would like you to know that "Quickie Salad" is part of a larger group of to-be ideas under the same name "Quickie." For this reason, whomever wins this contest, will likely also win the creation of the other logos for our different ideas because we need them all to follow the same style (with the only difference being that they will need to be customized for the particular "Quickie" product. For example, one of our ideas for the not-so-distant future is "Quickie Soups." For that we would need a pictorial mark of the same style as "Quickie Salad" (so that people know is part of the same company), but it should "scream" soups... not salads... but that will come in the future. For now, we need you all to give us your best for "Quickie Salad." We cannot wait to see what you come up with.
Please feel free to experiment with different colors and ideas. You never know what we might end up liking!
Thank you.
Quickie CEO

The AHA and Academic Freedom
To the Editor:
Although the boycott of Israeli scholars and academic institutions proposed recently in the United Kingdom has at last been rejected by Great Britain's University and College Union, the concurrent boycott by the country's public employee's union, Unison, has not. Despite the repudiation of these initiatives by many senior British academics and public figures, I believe that damage has been done to the spirit of free inquiry and scholarly exchange that is vital to the enterprise of scholarship everywhere. The American Historical Association should, in my view, forthrightly condemn all efforts to punish or exclude scholars on the basis of their citizenship, whether it be Israeli scholars refused participation in British ventures and conferences or Muslim ones denied visas to enter the United States.

All New FamilySearch Web Site
These are the changes that were revealed at the bloggers' dinner at RootsTech.
The FamilySearch home page is more social. The old home page gave us a menu to search for records. The new page gives equal weight to photos, stories, etc. Users are encouraged to add their own pictures and stories about their ancestors with the goal of making one big tree.
Will people contribute and share? Will they work together and resist the urge to be possessive of their ancestors? Only time will tell.
In late 2011, I had a client tell me what he wanted to do with his family history records. He asked for suggestions. Based on his wishes and specifications, I told him about this FamilySearch product that was in the works.
...and for a year I kept waiting for that product so I could show him. I saw pretty charts and pictures and slick FamilySearch presentations about the upcoming product. All I could do was relay the info to the client and hope I'd eventually have something to deliver. I kept telling him, "FamilySearch says it's coming," though I had no idea when. I hate making empty promises.
Today as I was sitting at the desk, working on this client's project, FamilySearch.org started to go wonky and slow. I refreshed my screen and there was the new site, with places to add photos and stories. I spent the next 3 hours adding information to this *forever* family tree. It's not perfect (I wish we could add documents and PDFs), but it does what this client wants it to do. That makes him happy. That makes me happy.

I suddenly got a new FamilySearch view today, in a browser window that had been showing me old view. Have never been a fan of fan charts before - but I like this one!ReplyDelete
Following RootsTech, I played with family tree, and liked how clicking below any husband/wife box brought up list of children.. a bit nicer than 2-step process on Ancestry.
The document attach process is overly-complicated to me, especially since so much easier on Ancestry - so wonder how much it'll be used.
PS also VERY glad that boxy logo didn't make it to new view, though I kinda miss the old tree logo.ReplyDelete
That's excellent. Stories and photos really help add personality. I've been working mainly on Ancestry, which has a "Contributor" function where certain invited family members (I've invited 50) can share stories and photos. I know I've got to get deeper into FamilySearch, and I will, for all my questions after I put together the main line.ReplyDelete
Photos are my favorite. I feel I can almost know a person by looking at a photo. Probably fooling myself. :))
Family Search is second in my research after Ancestry.com. I love the new interface. It's very attractive, easy on the eyes, and user friendly - easily navigable.ReplyDelete
I continually monitor the updates and additions for any new gems.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: North Pond lies south of the center of the town of Orange and is now known as Lake Mattawa. The town of Orange became an important industrial center in the late 19th century in its portion of Massachusetts. The lakefront properties surrounding North Pond became the site of a number of retreats for the more prosperous citizens of the town. The fashion for lakefront homes began soon after the Civil War. Those less stratospherically wealthy followed the example of the industrial tycoons of the Gilded Age such as J.P. Morgan, who built lakeside retreats just beyond the smoke of their industries.

When Microsoft first unveiled the Windows 8 interface, users found that the entire classic look of traditional Windows software got a full revamp. This included the lack of a Start Button, and instead a customizable Start screen that you'd find in both the PC and smartphone versions of Windows. But what made Microsoft ditch the classic button for these new colorful tiles? The company claims the reason is simple as this: No one was using it.
"We'd seen the trend in Windows 7… When we evolved the taskbar we saw awesome adoption of pinning [applications] on the taskbar. We are seeing people pin like crazy," Chaitanya Sareen, principal program manager at Microsoft told PC Pro. "So we saw the Start menu usage dramatically dropping, and that gave us an option. We're saying 'look, Start menu usage is dropping, what can we do about it? What can we do with the Start menu to revive it, to give it some new identity, give it some new power?'"
Instead of referring back to the Start menu, now all your tiles are clear and out in the open, making access easier and faster than ever. In this Internet age, touch-centric shortcuts are key to getting things done in swift motions, especially when users need not search for the applications and links they need.
Sareen also notes that people prefer to use keyboard shortcuts, such as the Windows key and 1 to get Internet Explorer to open. Who wants to click when you can leave your hands on the keyboard? Though the Start Button was an integral part of the Windows interface history, it sure seems like the feature won't be dearly missed, if at all.

Product Description
Product Description
Product Application
Basic worldprinciple of FZG series drying machinery is to use steam or hot water or oil as heat sources,use radiator to generate heat.Water vaporizes very fast when it's boiled.Under ordinary pressure,water starts to boil at LDout 100℃,but under LD condition, vaporization tends to occur when partial pressure is much higher,and boiling point is blow 100℃.For example,water starts to boil at only 70℃ when its surface pressure is -0.07Mpa.FZG series drying machinery is highly efficient even under low temperature condition.It is suitable for drying materials like pharmaceuticals,chemicals,foods,heavy and LD industry products,ly sensitive material too.
Main Features
1) Suitable for drying ly sensitive material and materials that are afraid of being oxidized under low temperature.
2) Suitable for drying materials that contain solvents,which need to be recycled..
3)Sterilize the equipment before drying materials,make sure there is no other impure material going in.
4) This drying machinery series works in static state,so there is no damage to material's form and structure.
5) Batch-able operations allow users to adjust at any time.
6)Inside arch framing avoids condensation water's returning
7)LD tubes are all connected to one point,which ensures drying uniformilk.
LD drying is a process in which materials are dried in a reduced pressure environment, which lowers the heat needed for rapid drying. It does not take place in a true LD, deLDite the name. Devices used for this process are known as LD driers, and can vary in size from small units desityed to fit on kit counters to massive rooms which are used to handle things like timber products.
Drying involves reducing the moisture in an object, and is done in environments where the air is drier than the object being dried, which encourages moisture to evaporate out. This is often accomplished with heat to reduce the humidiLD of the air, but in a LD drier, the temperature does not need to be as high, and the drying is often faster. It's also possible to achieve a very high level of dryness, which may be desirable in some cases.

Monkees Announce 2014 Spring Tour
After the commercial and artistic success of their 2012 and 2013 tours, the Monkees are taking the show on the road once again. The group have announced a 14-date tour that kicks off in New Hampshire and winds up in Cleveland, Ohio.
"Can't wait to hang out with Papa Nez and the Torkmiester," Dolenz said in a press release, "Looking forward to great music, great fun and truck-stop chili dogs at 4 a.m."
The three surviving members of the legendary act regrouped following the passing of Davy Jones in early-2012. It was the first time Michael Nesmith had joined his mates on a full-fledged U.S. tour since he first left the band in 1970, although he was on a 1997 U.K. tour. "Happy to be going back out playing the music," Nesmith said in a press release. "Sure we will have fun."
The tour was first announced at the recent Monkees Convention in New Jersey. "Why don't we do a tour?" Dolenz told the convention crowd, "Why don't we do a tour in the middle of May? Does that sound like a good idea?" Ultimately confirming, "We're doing it. We are touring."
In conjunction with the tour, Rhino Records is issuing a deluxe three-disc version of their 1966 debut album. Nesmith is also heading out on his own for a few stops. "I'm off on another solo tour in April and May — Movies of the Mind — before I go out with the Monkees," he announced on his Facebook page.

San Juan County Commission:
• Roger Atcitty
• Rebecca Benally
San Juan County is keeping up with the changing pace of the world. As of this year, exclusively mail-in ballots will decide all San Juan County elections.
The June 24 primary election race for County Commissioner in District Three, between Roger Atcitty and Rebecca Benally, will be the first to be decided by the mail-in ballots.
Ballots are scheduled to be mailed to all voters in the district in the first week of June. Completed ballots must be postmarked before June 24 in order to be counted in the election.
Because of the mailed ballots, there will be no polling places on election day. County Clerk Norman Johnson encourages voters to return ballots in the mail before the deadline to ensure that votes will be counted.
"I estimate that fifty percent of the ballots will be back within a few days," said Johnson.
The results will be tallied on election day and the canvass completed by the second week of July.
The county has used mailed ballots for several years in a number of the smaller precincts. The City of Monticello used mailed ballots in the most recent municipal election. In both cases, it appears as if voter participation increases through the use of mailed ballots.
There have been some concerns raised about the ballots. Johnson has received a number of telephone calls, including several by the Navajo Nation elections office.
Johnson reports that the process has been stressful but he is confident the election will run smoothly.
Johnson reports that the clerk's office has gone through great efforts to prepare for the election. Several months ago, all registered voters were mailed non-forwardable voter ID cards. This was done in order to determine which registered voters still live where the county records had them listed.
With a large stack of returned letters, the county then initiated an effort to discover where the "missing" voters were. Johnson said the returned cards included a number of voters who were deceased and others who moved to a new location in the county or away from the county. Johnson details that after much effort, the county was able to make it to the bottom of the stack and clear up the entire list.
Later, every address in the county received a mailing to outline the registration process and how the mailed ballots work.
The returned ballots have a two-tiered system to help eliminate the possibility of voter fraud. After voting, the registered voter signs an affidavit on the envelope. When the ballot is received at the clerks office, the signature is compared with the signature on the voter registration card.
An identification tab on the ballot is then torn from the ballot and the anonymous ballot is ready to be counted. Johnson said that results should be released immediately at the end of election day.
The mailed ballots are postage paid, so citizens can return their vote with no charge.

You appear to be asking about the usability of relative adverb 'that' in place of relative adverbs 'where' and 'when'. The answer is that, while this is sometimes possible, or even desirable (e.g. the day that she arrived instead of the day when she arrived), most speakers would probably not find it entirely acceptable with regard to either of these examples.
Note also, from an analytical viewpoint, that whichever adverb we may use, the clause constructed remains an adjectival relative (a.k.a. attributive) clause. An appositive clause is quite different.

It is the same in every spring training camp with winners and losers. Booms and busts. With camp ending today, the Mets had their share of both.
Jon Niese: With Johan Santana a question going in, Niese entered camp No. 1 in the rotation and pitched deserving of that title. Not surprisingly, he was named Opening Day starter. With Santana gone for the year, he's the de facto ace, at least until Matt Harvey takes over.
Matt Harvey: He took some lumps, but was far more good than bad. Most importantly, he didn't show any signs of being overwhelmed. With Shaun Marcum hurting, Harvey is now No. 2.
Zack Wheeler: He strained an oblique muscle, but when he pitched he showed a glimpse of things to come. Wheeler was never going to make the Opening Day roster, but should be in Flushing soon enough.
Jeremy Hefner: Reported as a contender for the Triple-A rotation, but with Santana's injury is now scheduled to be the No. 4 starter.
Jordany Valdespin: Here's a guy who wasn't in the Mets' plans, but took advantage of injuries to Daniel Murphy and Kirk Nieuwenhuis to earn a spot on the roster. That is, unless something dramatic happens today.
Marlon Byrd: He was a spring training pick-up who not only won a spot on the roster, but in the Opening Day lineup.
Travis d'Arnaud: He was always going to open the season in the minors, but stayed healthy and opened a lot of eyes. He'll be up before the All-Star break. The pitchers like throwing to him.
Lucas Duda: Surprised, aren't you? Duda had a miserable start with an extraordinary number of strikeouts, but finished strong to give him confidence going into the season.
Johan Santana: It was a rocky spring for Santana, who responded in anger at criticism from GM Sandy Alderson about not being in shape by throwing off the mound ahead of schedule. He never got on the mound again and it is possible he never will.
Shaun Marcum: He didn't endear himself to the Mets by showing up to camp in poor shape and could open the season on the disabled list.
Frank Francisco: He has not responded from elbow surgery and will be on the disabled list. Francisco might not get his closer role back if Bobby Parnell doesn't spit the bit.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis: He was penciled in as the leadoff hitter in center fielder, but missed most of camp with a bruised knee. Amazingly, because of the Mets' dismal situation in the outfield, he still has a chance despite hitting less than .100.
Dillon Gee: He came to camp a health question, and while he says there are no complications from surgery to repair an artery in his shoulder, he had several rough starts. He had a good one toward the end, but wasn't consistent, especially with his change-up.
Ruben Tejada: He hit better than expected last season, and didn't hit at all this spring. In most camps, hitting less than .100 would be a ticket to the minors, but the Mets have little alternatives.

CAMPUS LIFE AND SAFETY AND SECURITY (CLASS) TASK FORCE 2009 Annual Report
Update on 2009 Task Force Initiatives
Behavioral Threat Assessment Conference
On Jan. 15-16, Oklahoma State University hosted the Behavioral Threat Assessment Conference designed for intact or developing threat assessment teams at Oklahoma's postsecondary campuses. Eighty people participated in the conference, where they benefited from training from Margolis, Healy & Associates and Dr. Gene Deisinger, leaders in the field of threat assessment.
Training included case studies of school shootings, major facts about school shootings, implications for campus safety, principles of campus threat assessment and strategies for enhancing campus climate. Additionally, attendees learned key components of effective campus threat assessment; recommended team composition; policies and procedures to support threat assessment; how to investigate and evaluate threats and other concerning behavior; resources and strategies for managing individuals who may pose a threat of harm; how to establish key campus and community relationships; how to share information amid FERPA and HIPAA concerns; and considerations for public information officers. The conference also provided a review of common problems that threat assessment teams face and workable solutions; discussion of effective strategies for interviewing and red flags of deception; and a practical exercise of walking through an entire threat case from start to finish with campus teams.
Vendor Fair
The Notification Subcommittee hosted a vendor fair on April 23 to provide a forum of multiple vendors that demonstrated the various capabilities of their respective technologies and notification solutions. With more than 20 vendors showcasing their products and services, the vendor fair afforded a unique opportunity for campuses to see the latest technology available and to network with industry professionals.
Mental Health First Aid Train-The-Trainer
In July, the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services held the first mental health first aid train-the-trainer classes for higher education. Ten out of 25 slots were filled by representatives from higher education and career technology campuses. The classes are designed to teach a layperson how to recognize and assist someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. This class for trainers prepares mental health professionals, such as campus counselors, to teach the mental health first aid program to their campuses. The trainings are not intended as a solution to the lack of counselors on postsecondary campuses but just one way to address the problem.
Campus Safety: Goal 2010
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) has been developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education to provide a consistent, nationwide approach that enables federal, state, local and tribal governments to work together to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from domestic incidents.
Full NIMS compliance by Dec. 1, 2010, is a major goal of the CLASS Task Force and required for recipients of federal preparedness funds and several grants administered through the U.S. Department of Education. In September, the CLASS Task Force kicked off Campus Safety: Goal 2010 to ensure all postsecondary campuses are compliant by the deadline.
A workbook was created and distributed for campuses to use as a tool in becoming fully NIMS compliant.
In October and November, the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security's training coordinator assisted, free of charge, postsecondary institutions with compliance training and exercise activities through a statewide NIMS "train-the-trainer" program and other means.
Mental Health Collaborative Week
The CLASS Task Force has been working with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to plan the first CLASS Mental Health Collaborative Week scheduled for the first week of March 2010 at approximately 14 community health centers across the state. This statewide effort will facilitate face-to-face and virtual meetings among higher education institutions, career technology centers and community mental health centers for the purpose of identifying opportunities to collaborate and combine resources to enhance mental health services available on postsecondary campuses.

No elbows on the table. Chew with your mouth closed. Place a napkin on your lap after being seated.
Basic table dining etiquette is ingrained into us from a young age, unfortunately mom and dad didn't teach us about coffee house etiquette. Is it the same as dining etiquette?
Is it rude to ask what a drink is if I don't understand? How much do I tip? Do I just leave my ceramic mug on the table after I am finished?
Well, I went straight to the experts in the coffee industry to gain some insight about coffee house etiquette. Each person I interviewed has been in the coffee industry for many years and offered me helpful insight and tips to master coffee house etiquette.
Before we get into the DO & DON'TS of coffee house etiquette please meet the coffee professionals.
Meet Caty Rentmeester: Also known as "Caty Rent." Caty lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota and currently is the Manager/Roaster/Coffee Enthusiast for the Dunn Bros Coffee Laboratory in Saint Paul. Caty started her career with Dunn Bros as barista in 2007. She later started roasting and became manager in 2010. Caty is intrigued by anything coffee related and is constantly learning more about it by reading coffee books, magazines and blogs. Roasting is one of her favorite parts of her job.
Besides coffee, Caty likes Batman. (Some people might say she has a slight obsession. Her cat is named Bruce Wayne.)
In her spare time Caty enjoys long walks, bubble baths, reading, and watching cartoons.
Her job before coming to Dunn Bros was a snake wrangler at Twin Cities Reptiles.
Meet Jason Dominy: Jason has been in coffee for 16 years. He's had positions opening and managing coffee shops, roasting, training, and now works for Batdorf & Bronson Coffee in Atlanta, as Wholesale Support and Outreach Coordinator. He's been active in the SCAA for the past 5 years, on the Training Committee/Professional Development Committee, volunteering with the SCAA in trainings and labs, and most recently, previous Chair of the Barista Guild's Executive Council. He spends his time with Batdorf & Bronson getting the message of exceptional coffee out to consumers all over Atlanta and the country.
Meet Sarah Dooley: Sarah has worked in various retail careers finding herself settling in coffee. Occupying in many different positions over the years, barista, manager, trainer, educator, community coordinator and sales, she currently is working for an espresso machine distributor, La Marzocco USA, as a coffee community educator and sales. Sarah volunteers with the Barista Guild of America as an Executive Council member.

What if you don't understand what a particular menu item is?
Caty: "Please ask questions. I definitely try to encourage them. We want you to know what you are ordering and for you to be happy with it. "
Jason: "Please ask. The barista should be able to address any questions you have and help you determine what you are looking for. "
Sarah: "Consumers should feel comfortable to ask questions about what a menu item means."
Is using a cell phone while ordering appropriate?
Caty: "Personally, I don't believe that it is appropriate because there can be ordering mistakes when that occurs. It also seems pretty rude because as a barista, I want to be treated like a person."
Jason: "When you are talking on the cell phone you are not paying close attention to your order. During your distraction you could not communicate exactly what you want. Plus, the barista doesn't know if you are talking to them or the person on the phone. Just pause your telephone conversation for a few moments to concentrate and efficiently communicate your order to the barista. "
Sarah: "No. I would suggest stepping out of line to finish your call, or asking the person on the other end of your call to please hold. When you are trying to place an order while talking on the phone you are not only holding up your order, but you are holding up the entire bar. Think of it this way, if you were to walk into a coffee shop with another person would you continue to talk to the person beside you and not acknowledge the barista. Probably not, but this is essentially what you are doing when you continue to talk to the individual on the phone and ignore the barista."
Can I ask for off-menu items?
Caty: "Of course! Everyone has a different palate and it is understandable that everything on the menu might not be quite what they are looking for. It's fun when a customer orders something that I haven't ever tried before, it could become a featured drink."
Jason: "If you don't see an item on the menu that you would like approach the barista by saying, " The drink I usually get is _____( insert the drink you want)." By approaching off menu items this way you allow the barista an opportunity to offer suggestions on similar items and give you exactly what you are asking for. "
Sarah: "Absolutely! Feel free to ask for off menu items, but just be prepared for the answer to be no."
What do I do if I don't like my beverage?
Caty: "Most places will offer to refund your drink or to make you a new one, either the same thing or something different. I like to offer a new drink instead of just a refund, because you came to the shop for some kind of beverage, so you should be leaving with one that you like. "
Jason: "If you don't like your beverage tell the barista. The barista wants to please you. "
Sarah: "A misconception people often have is if they don't like something they can't complain about it. However, respectfully complaining about your beverage can do a great service to the bar. You not only can make the beverage better for yourself, but it also benefits everyone else who orders that particular drink in the future."
Should I expect you to remember "my usual"?
Caty: "That depends on the barista. I can pick up on a drink normally after about three or four times if the person is getting the same thing. It really helps if the customer is coming in around the same time of day as well."
Jason: "It is a reasonable expectation for the barista to remember your drink and nuances of your drink if you are a regular customer. "
Sarah: Expectation may be the wrong word. However, it really is easy to associate someone with a drink, especially if he/she is ordering the same drink day after day. Baristas are proud of knowing someone's drink, but remember everyone has bad days. So if we don't remember your usual one day it may just be we are having a bad day or training a new employee, etc. "
How long can I expect to wait for my drink?
Caty: "It depends on what you order. My shop is technically more commercial, I try to keep it with more of a third wave feel to it. Espresso based drinks typically take about 3-4 minutes, our alternate brewing methods for coffee can take 4-5 minutes."
Jason: "Be prepared to wait as long as it takes to make the drink. The barista is working to deliver a quality beverage that exceeds your expectations. Also, be cognizant if your beverage is being hand-crafted by a manual pour method. If so you should be prepared to wait a little more. "
Sarah: "This is tough one. In the perfect world no one should feel like they are waiting. So in the perfect world I would say you should be waiting no more than 3 minutes. However, this doesn't always happen. You should allow yourself enough time. We all commute at the same time and everyone wants their drink fast and the baristas behind the bar wants to get your drink to you quickly too. "
What is appropriate amount?
Caty: "Honestly, anything helps. If you really liked the experience it is very nice to give a little more, because that helps the barista feel accomplished and appreciated."
Jason" "There is no standard tipping when it comes to coffee. My suggestion is about 50 cents for a $2 cup of coffee. Again, if your beverage is being hand poured it requires about a 5 or 6 minute labor process so a $1 tip may be more reasonable. Creating coffee is a tipping based service. "
Sarah: "Tipping is big part of baristas' wages. I believe tipping should be earned, but I also feel that tipping should follow the 20 percent rule, at minimum."
Should I tip before receiving my drink?
Caty: "Generally I would because of how the flow of most coffee shops goes, it can be easier that way. But afterwards isn't frowned upon either, we just enjoy the recognition."
Jason: " I prefer when customers tip after receiving drink. It encourages the barista to focus on quality customer service."
Sarah: "Personally I tip after I have received the drink. I think it is motivating to the barista. However, it just depends on the relationship with barista."
How do I grasp the atmosphere (quiet, lively)?
Caty: "Most places are going to be busier in the morning, so they do tend to be loud. If you are looking for quieter, I would recommend coming by in the later afternoon or evening."
Jason: " To grasp the atmosphere of the shop visit beforehand to gather a feel. Or you could call ahead of time and ask the employees."
Sarah: "If you feel uncomfortable doing something in a bar you probably shouldn't be doing it. If you notice it is a quiet place then put headphones in or take calls outside. Pick a shop that fits what you want."
What do I do if all the tables are "common" tables, can I sit beside someone?
Caty: "Some shops have small bars to sit at, that is always acceptable to next to someone. If you want to sit at a table with a stranger, just ask them if it would be ok. Lots of people that hang out are pretty chill. "
Jason: "It is OK to sit next to someone in a coffee shop, especially if all the tables are common tables."
Sarah: "Absolutely. I would recommend just politely asking if the seat is taken. I feel that shops with common tables are the best kind of coffee shops. Coffee shops were made for community. It is a place to network and serves as a social hub to find people living and working in your neighborhood. You are able to have friendly conversations with no expectation."
How long is appropriate to use the WiFi?
Caty: "A few hours is fine. We implement a rule that you purchase something first though, I think is a common courtesy."
Jason" Be courteous to the business. It is a respected assumption that you will purchase 1 drink an hour for the duration you use the WiFi service. Or about $3.50 spend per hour."
Sarah: "I would say half an hour or 45 minutes. Remember the coffee shop is a business. If you don't have an office, and plan on using the shop as your office for a few hours ask if it is OK. They may say no, but they may say yes. "
Can I sit and read my new novel for 5 hours?
Caty: "If you really want to, I don't see why not. Again, we would just ask that you buy something if you are going to use our space. "
Jason: "Yes you can, but it isn't very respectful. The coffee shop is a business trying to sell beverages; if you are using their space to read your novel they could be potentially losing money. "
Sarah: "Again, just remember it is a business and you are taking up space when you sit and read your novel. You could always ask if it would be OK if you sat and read your novel."
I don't see a dish bin, what do I do with my dishes?
Caty: "It would be acceptable to leave them at the table, otherwise it can be a nice gesture to bring them up to the front counter."
Jason: "If you do not see a dish bin simply ask the staff what to do with your dirty dishes. They will be able to assist you. "
Sarah: "Just ask. Or I look for a sink or pile of dishes where everyone else has confusedly put their dirty dishes at. "

Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social challenges.[1] The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."[2][3] This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete" [4][5] Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction.[6][7] Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health.
Systematic activities to prevent or cure health problems and promote good health in humans are undertaken by health care providers. Applications with regard to animal health are covered by the veterinary sciences. The term "healthy" is also widely used in the context of many types of non-living organizations and their impacts for the benefit of humans, such as in the sense of healthy communities, healthy cities or healthy environments. In addition to health care interventions and a person's surroundings, a number of other factors are known to influence the health status of individuals, including their background, lifestyle, and economic, social conditions, and spirituality; these are referred to as "determinants of health." Studies have shown that high levels of stress can affect human health.[8]
Generally, the context in which an individual lives is of great importance for both his health status and quality of their life. It is increasingly recognized that health is maintained and improved not only through the advancement and application of health science, but also through the efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the individual and society. According to the World Health Organization, the main determinants of health include the social and economic environment, the physical environment, and the person's individual characteristics and behaviors.[9]
More specifically, key factors that have been found to influence whether people are healthy or unhealthy include the following:[9][10][11]
An increasing number of studies and reports from different organizations and contexts examine the linkages between health and different factors, including lifestyles, environments, health care organization, and health policy – such as the 1974 Lalonde report from Canada;[11] the Alameda County Study in California;[12] and the series of World Health Reports of the World Health Organization, which focuses on global health issues including access to health care and improving public health outcomes, especially in developing countries.[13]
The concept of the "health field," as distinct from medical care, emerged from the Lalonde report from Canada. The report identified three interdependent fields as key determinants of an individual's health. These are:[11]
- Lifestyle: the aggregation of personal decisions (i.e., over which the individual has control) that can be said to contribute to, or cause, illness or death;
- Environmental: all matters related to health external to the human body and over which the individual has little or no control;
- Biomedical: all aspects of health, physical and mental, developed within the human body as influenced by genetic make-up.
The maintenance and promotion of health is achieved through different combination of physical, mental, and social well-being, together sometimes referred to as the "health triangle."[14][15] The WHO's 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion further stated that health is not just a state, but also "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities."[16]
Focusing more on lifestyle issues and their relationships with functional health, data from the Alameda County Study suggested that people can improve their health via exercise, enough sleep, maintaining a healthy body weight, limiting alcohol use, and avoiding smoking.[17] Health and illness can co-exist, as even people with multiple chronic diseases or terminal illnesses can consider themselves healthy.[18]
The environment is often cited as an important factor influencing the health status of individuals. This includes characteristics of the natural environment, the built environment, and the social environment. Factors such as clean water and air, adequate housing, and safe communities and roads all have been found to contribute to good health, especially to the health of infants and children.[9][19] Some studies have shown that a lack of neighborhood recreational spaces including natural environment leads to lower levels of personal satisfaction and higher levels of obesity, linked to lower overall health and well being.[20] This suggests that the positive health benefits of natural space in urban neighborhoods should be taken into account in public policy and land use.
Genetics, or inherited traits from parents, also play a role in determining the health status of individuals and populations. This can encompass both the predisposition to certain diseases and health conditions, as well as the habits and behaviors individuals develop through the lifestyle of their families. For example, genetics may play a role in the manner in which people cope with stress, either mental, emotional or physical. For example, obesity is a very large problem in the United States[citation needed] that contributes to bad mental health and causes stress in a lot of people's lives. (One difficulty is the issue raised by the debate over the relative strengths of genetics and other factors; interactions between genetics and environment may be of particular importance.)
Potential issues
|This section has an unclear citation style. (March 2014)
There are a lot of types of health issues common with many people across the globe. Disease is one of the most common. According to GlobalIssues.org, approximately 36 million people die each year from non-communicable (not contagious) disease including cardiovascular disease cancer, diabetes, and chronic lung disease (Shah, 2014).[21]
As for communicable diseases, both viral and bacterial, AIDS/HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria are the most common also causing millions of deaths every year (2014).
Another health issue that causes death or contributes to other health problems is malnutrition majorly among children. One of the groups malnutrition affects most is young children. Approximately 7.5 million children under the age of 5 die from malnutrition, and it is usually brought on by not having the money to find or make food (2014).
Bodily injuries are also a common health issue worldwide. These injuries, including broken bones, fractures, and burns can reduce a person's quality of life or can cause fatalities including infections that resulted from the injury or the severity injury in general (Moffett, 2013).[22]
Some contributing factors to poor health are lifestyle choices. These include smoking cigarettes, which according to LIVESTRONG.com kills 443,000 people each year (2013). It also can include a poor diet, whether it is overeating or an overly constrictive diet. Inactivity can also contribute to health issues and also a lack of sleep, excessive alcohol consumption, and neglect of oral hygiene (2013). There are also genetic disorders that are inherited by the person and can vary in how much they affect the person and when they surface (2013).
The one health issue that is the most unfortunate because the majority of these health issues are preventable is that approximately 1 billion people lack access to health care systems (Shah, 2014). It is easy to say that the most common and harmful health issue is that a lot of people do not have access to quality remedies.[23][24]
Mental health
The World Health Organization describes mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community".[25] Mental Health is not just the absence of mental illness.
Mental illness is described as 'the spectrum of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural conditions that interfere with social and emotional well-being and the lives and productivity of people. Having a mental illness can seriously impair, temporarily or permanently, the mental functioning of a person. Other terms include: 'mental health problem', 'illness', 'disorder', 'dysfunction'. (Hungerford et al. 2012).
Roughly a quarter of all adults 18 and over in the US suffer from a diagnosable mental illness. Mental illnesses are the leading cause of disability in the US and Canada. Examples include, schizophrenia, ADHD, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and autism.[26]
Many teens suffer from mental health issues in response to the pressures of society and social problems they encounter. Some of the key mental health issues seen in teens are: depression, eating disorders, and drug abuse. There are many ways to prevent these health issues from occurring such as communicating well with a teen suffering from mental health issues. Mental health can be treated and be attentive to teens' behavior.[27]
Maintaining health
Achieving and maintaining health is an ongoing process, shaped by both the evolution of health care knowledge and practices as well as personal strategies and organized interventions for staying healthy.
An important way to maintain your personal health is to have a healthy diet. A healthy diet includes a variety of plant-based and animal-based foods that provide nutrients to your body. Such nutrients give you energy and keep your body running. Nutrients help build and strengthen bones, muscles, and tendons and also regulate body processes (i.e. blood pressure). The food guide pyramid is a pyramid-shaped guide of healthy foods divided into sections. Each section shows the recommended intake for each food group (i.e. Protein, Fat, Carbohydrates, and Sugars). Making healthy food choices is important because it can lower your risk of heart disease, developing some types of cancer, and it will contribute to maintaining a healthy weight.[30]
Physical exercise enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It strengthens muscles and improves the cardiovascular system.
Role of science
Health science is the branch of science focused on health. There are two main approaches to health science: the study and research of the body and health-related issues to understand how humans (and animals) function, and the application of that knowledge to improve health and to prevent and cure diseases and other physical and mental impairments. The science builds on many sub-fields, including biology, biochemistry, physics, epidemiology, pharmacology, medical sociology. Applied health sciences endeavor to better understand and improve human health through applications in areas such as health education, biomedical engineering, biotechnology and public health.
Organized interventions to improve health based on the principles and procedures developed through the health sciences are provided by practitioners trained in medicine, nursing, nutrition, pharmacy, social work, psychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy and other health care professions. Clinical practitioners focus mainly on the health of individuals, while public health practitioners consider the overall health of communities and populations. Workplace wellness programs are increasingly adopted by companies for their value in improving the health and well-being of their employees, as are school health services in order to improve the health and well-being of children.
Role of public health
Public health has been described as "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals."[31] It is concerned with threats to the overall health of a community based on population health analysis. The population in question can be as small as a handful of people or as large as all the inhabitants of several continents (for instance, in the case of a pandemic). Public health has many sub-fields, but typically includes the interdisciplinary categories of epidemiology, biostatistics and health services. Environmental health, community health, behavioral health, and occupational health are also important areas of public health.
The focus of public health interventions is to prevent and manage diseases, injuries and other health conditions through surveillance of cases and the promotion of healthy behavior, communities, and (in aspects relevant to human health) environments. Its aim is to prevent health problems from happening or re-occurring by implementing educational programs, developing policies, administering services and conducting research.[32] In many cases, treating a disease or controlling a pathogen can be vital to preventing it in others, such as during an outbreak. Vaccination programs and distribution of condoms to prevent the spread of communicable diseases are examples of common preventive public health measures, as are educational campaigns to promote vaccination and the use of condoms (including overcoming resistance to such).
Public health also takes various actions to limit the health disparities between different areas of the country and, in some cases, the continent or world. One issue is the access of individuals and communities to health care in terms of financial, geographical or socio-cultural constraints to accessing and using services.[citation needed] Applications of the public health system include the areas of maternal and child health, health services administration, emergency response, and prevention and control of infectious and chronic diseases.
The great positive impact of public health programs is widely acknowledged. Due in part to the policies and actions developed through public health, the 20th century registered a decrease in the mortality rates for infants and children and a continual increase in life expectancy in most parts of the world. For example, it is estimated that life expectancy has increased for Americans by thirty years since 1900,[33] and worldwide by six years since 1990.[34]
Self-care strategies
Personal health depends partially on the active, passive, and assisted cues people observe and adopt about their own health. These include personal actions for preventing or minimizing the effects of a disease, usually a chronic condition, through integrative care. They also include personal hygiene practices to prevent infection and illness, such as bathing and washing hands with soap; brushing and flossing teeth; storing, preparing and handling food safely; and many others. The information gleaned from personal observations of daily living – such as about sleep patterns, exercise behavior, nutritional intake and environmental features – may be used to inform personal decisions and actions (e.g., "I feel tired in the morning so I am going to try sleeping on a different pillow"), as well as clinical decisions and treatment plans (e.g., a patient who notices his or her shoes are tighter than usual may be having exacerbation of left-sided heart failure, and may require diuretic medication to reduce fluid overload).[35]
Personal health also depends partially on the social structure of a person's life. The maintenance of strong social relationships, volunteering, and other social activities have been linked to positive mental health and also increased longevity. One American study among seniors over age 70, found that frequent volunteering was associated with reduced risk of dying compared with older persons who did not volunteer, regardless of physical health status.[36] Another study from Singapore reported that volunteering retirees had significantly better cognitive performance scores, fewer depressive symptoms, and better mental well-being and life satisfaction than non-volunteering retirees.[37]
Prolonged psychological stress may negatively impact health, and has been cited as a factor in cognitive impairment with aging, depressive illness, and expression of disease.[38] Stress management is the application of methods to either reduce stress or increase tolerance to stress. Relaxation techniques are physical methods used to relieve stress. Psychological methods include cognitive therapy, meditation, and positive thinking, which work by reducing response to stress. Improving relevant skills, such as problem solving and time management skills, reduces uncertainty and builds confidence, which also reduces the reaction to stress-causing situations where those skills are applicable.
Occupational health
In addition to safety risks, many jobs also present risks of disease, illness and other long-term health problems. Among the most common occupational diseases are various forms of pneumoconiosis, including silicosis and coal worker's pneumoconiosis (black lung disease). Asthma is another respiratory illness that many workers are vulnerable to. Workers may also be vulnerable to skin diseases, including eczema, dermatitis, urticaria, sunburn, and skin cancer.[39][40] Other occupational diseases of concern include carpal tunnel syndrome and lead poisoning.
As the number of service sector jobs has risen in developed countries, more and more jobs have become sedentary, presenting a different array of health problems than those associated with manufacturing and the primary sector. Contemporary problems, such as the growing rate of obesity and issues relating to stress and overwork in many countries, have further complicated the interaction between work and health.
Many governments view occupational health as a social challenge and have formed public organizations to ensure the health and safety of workers. Examples of these include the British Health and Safety Executive and in the United States, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, which conducts research on occupational health and safety, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which handles regulation and policy relating to worker safety and health.[41][42][43]

Snails: Shasta Juga (Juga silicula)
(Gastropoda: Cerithioidea: Pleuroceridae)
Profile prepared by Sarah Foltz Jordan and Julia Janicki, The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.
Juga is a genus of medium-sized, aquatic snails. Juga silicula is confined to a few streams in the Nisqually and Big Soos Creek drainages on the southeastern end of the Puget Sound, Washington. This benthic species occurs in small freshwater streams flowing into the Puget Sound (Strong and Frest, 2007). The egg masses of Juga are most often found in loose (non-cemented) but stable cobble substrate, with free and fairly vigorous flow through at least the upper substrate layers (Frest and Johannes 2006). Juga snails are characterized as rasper-grazers, feeding on both algae and detritus, such as dead alder leaves (Furnish 1989, Allan 1995). Major threats to these species include rapidly increasing housing and commercial development. Conservation measures include managing new and known sites and their associated watersheds and conducting additional population surveys.
National Status (United States): N2
State Status: Washington: SNR
(NatureServe 2009).
The external anatomy of Juga silicula is described as follows (Strong and Frest 2007): Operculum ovate, corneous, dark reddish brown in color, with 3.5 whorls; paucispiral with eccentric nucleus of approximately 3 whorls. Nucleus comprising slightly less than one half of total length (<45%). Head-foot dark gray to black in color, with lighter gray snout tip and pale foot sole; in females, ovipositor groove pale in color. Foot broad with wide propodium and long anterior pedal gland along anterior margin. Ciliated egg groove forming longitudinally grooved tract extending from anterior tip of pallial gonoduct and broadening continuously into shallow triangular shelf on side of neck below right cephalic tentacle. Ovipositor surface grooved, with folds directed medially into pore. Shallow grooved tract extending from pocket to edge of foot, a short distance back from anterior pedal gland. Extensible snout broad, squarish, with short triangular cephalic tentacles; tentacles also short in relaxed specimens. Ctenidium extending from posterior end of mantle cavity to near mantle edge, anteriorly curving toward the left. Osphradium forming simple ridge alongside efferent branchial vessel, sometimes with anterior tip markedly curving toward the left; osphradium undulating slightly at anterior and posterior ends, thinning posteriorly. Hypobranchial gland moderately well developed with transverse ridges, especially at posterior end of mantle cavity (Strong and Frest 2007).
Based on anatomical and molecular data, this species is valid, but its range is much more restricted than was previously believed (Strong and Frest 2007). DNA phylogeny of described and undescribed Upper Sac-Pit Juga recognizes about 17 to 21 named valid forms and about 10 to15 new taxa (NatureServe 2009). Minimally, Juga silicula, Juga nigrina, Juga occata, Juga hemphilli, and Juga acutifilosa are likely composite taxa, and many populations formerly ascribed to Juga silicula actually belong to a number of undescribed Juga species (Strong and Frest 2007, Frest 2007, pers. comm. in NatureServe 2009, Johannes 2009, pers. comm.). Anything called J. silicula outside of the Puget Sound region should be considered another Juga species until proven otherwise (Johannes 2009, pers. comm.).
Management: Manage new and known sites and their associated watersheds to reduce the impacts of urban development, water diversions, construction activities, and other practices that may adversely affect water quality. Riparian habitat protection, including maintenance of water quality, substrate conditions, and canopy cover, would likely benefit and help maintain this species.

A 49-year-old Glendale woman was robbed at gunpoint Saturday night as she unloaded groceries from her car just outside her home, police said.
It marked the second time in as many weeks that a woman had been targeted at gunpoint. Police do not believe the two are related at this time, but are warning people to be aware of their surroundings.
In the latest incident, the woman had just parked outside her apartment complex in the 1500 block of East Windsor Road at about 10:34 p.m. and was unloading groceries when a man approached from the behind and placed a gun against her head, police said.
He threatened to shoot her if she didn't give him money, snatching a Louis Vuitton purse on her shoulder and two Marshalls shopping bags from inside her trunk.
She didn't resist and "was in fear for her life," Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said.
The woman kept her head down as the man fled the area.
She later told police that she didn't see him inside her apartment complex and didn't notice him follow her inside the building.
In the first incident last Tuesday, a 54-year-old Glendale woman was also robbed at gunpoint outside her apartment in the 600 block of East Elk Avenue.
She too had just parked her car at about 11:05 p.m. and was walking to her building when she spotted two men were following her, police said.
One of the men followed her inside the apartment building and snatched her purse after brandishing his gun.
Her purse contained credit cards, a wallet, an identification card, checkbook and an iPhone.
Despite the recent robberies, violent crimes, including robberies, have continued to drop, to 73 for the year through September, compared to 82 during the same period last year, according to the Police Department.
Lorenz blamed the recent violent incidents on the state early release program for nonviolent offenders.
"Over all violent crimes are down, but this is the indication what we expected to see as time goes on and we have to deal with those that are released from prison," Lorenz said. "We don't know who this is yet, but more than likely [he] has a history. Overall we are safe, but these random events remind us to be aware of our surroundings."
The man in the Saturday robbery was described as black, about 6 foot 1 inches tall and with a medium build. He was wearing a black, puffy-hooded jacket, black pants and carried a small black handgun, police said.

The modern world has witnessed a dramatic breakthrough of the dark, negative forces of human nature. The "old ethic," which pursued an illusory perfection by repressing the dark side, has lost its power to deal with contemporary problems. Erich Neumann was convinced that the deadliest peril now confronting humanity lay in the "scapegoat" psychology associated with the old ethic. We are in the grip of this psychology when we project our own dark shadow onto an individual or group identified as our "enemy," failing to see it in ourselves. The only effective alternative to this dangerous shadow projection is shadow recognition, acknowledgement, and integration into the totality of the self. Wholeness, not perfection, is the goal of the new ethic.

Like many aspiring artists, Katherina Busch left high school – a 2008 graduate of Sleepy Eye Public – with dreams of making it big.
Having enrolled at the U of M, Busch, now the new RVMS art teacher, earned a degree in studio art with a minor in Asian languages.
"For about my first year in college I planned to be an artist," said Busch, adding she realized as she studied at the there was something else in store for her.
After earning her degrees, Busch extended her college stay and studied in the teacher program – ultimately earning a masters degree in art education.
"I had good art teachers when I was in school," said Busch, adding Jamie Steffl, the RVHS art teacher, actually taught her in junior high at Sleepy Eye.
That influence was something that led her to the classroom, as was the opportunity she would have to share her interest and passion for art with others.
"For me art offers students a different way of thinking," said Busch.
As a student Busch said she understood the concept of spatial thinking, but added when she started thinking like an artist a whole new world opened up for her.
She now wants to open the eyes of those students in Grades 5-8 to that world.
Students at the middle school level are getting those introductory elements of art in Busch's class, as she teaches them the various art media and helps them learn the basics of each artistic style.
As an artist herself, Busch said she enjoys painting, and said the students are going to learn a lot about painting in her classes.
Beyond teaching art, Busch is working with the English as a second language (ESL) program in the Redwood Area School District, and in that area of her teaching position she works with students and teachers alike to improve communication.
She said about two hours of her day are spent working with that program.
Busch does do some painting in her spare time and said she took a painting class over the summer for fun and to improve her skills.
She is the daughter of Fritz, a reporter for the New Ulm Journal, and Marietta, who is an RN in Sleepy Eye.
Busch is planning this spring to help out with the track program as well.
Things are going very well for Busch in her new teaching position, and she said people in school and the community have been very welcoming and supportive.
