Nanette Nanjo-Jones and Margaret Pometta were inseparable after they discovered the sport of triathlon in 2008. They trained together on hilly roads in San Mateo County, and at races they decorated their bicycles with colored flags and wore matching pink boas. Before each event, the two always snapped a photo together.
The photo from the 2012 Vineman Half Ironman in Guerneville, Calif., is the final image of the two together. Minutes after it was taken, Pometta, a 50-year-old mother of three, suffered a heart attack while swimming in the Russian River. She was pronounced dead a short time later.
Nanjo-Jones, 47, did not hear about her friend's death until after she finished the race, which was comprised of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run.
"I was shocked, it was so hard to process," she said. "I had this guilt. Maybe it was me who made her do these races."
One year after her friend's death, Nanjo-Jones no longer blames herself. But she still doesn't understand why Pometta — an experienced triathlete who never had showed signs of heart problems — collapsed and died doing the activity she loved.
Nanjo-Jones is not alone. There has been an uptick in the number of fatalities at triathlons, and the majority of deaths involve freak heart attacks during the swim. According to a recent study conducted by USA Triathlon, 12 deaths were recorded at U.S. triathlons in 2011, and nine of the victims died from heart attacks during the swim. Of the 45 total triathlon deaths between 2003 and 2011, 31 occurred from cardiac failure during the swim.
Rob Urbach, CEO of USA Triathlon, said the number of deaths simply reflects the sport's rapid growth. Between 2003 and 2011, annual participants in U.S. triathlons grew from 193,000 to almost a half-million.
"We still feel the numbers are very low," Urbach said. "There isn't a pattern except they are happening in the water."
With triathlon season in full swing, race officials in the sport are paying close attention to the issue of water safety. Last week, the World Triathlon Corporation, owners of the Ironman races (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run), announced changes geared toward increased safety during the swim portions of their races.
But the USA Triathlon study does not explain why healthy, veteran athletes such as Pometta have suffered cardiac arrest. One of two dead at the 2011 New York City triathlon was Amy Martich, a 40-year-old mother of three who was a longtime swimmer and a dedicated athlete. Andy Naylor, who lost consciousness a few yards from shore at the 2012 Ironman New York City, was a longtime marathon runner. Texas trial lawyer Ross Ehlinger, 46, had raced half Ironmans and marathons for more than a decade.
A handful of theories explaining the deaths have circulated throughout the triathlon community. Cold water can constrict blood vessels, which must then circulate high volumes of blood quickly when the body begins moving, putting serious pressure on the heart. Tight wetsuits put pressure on arteries in the chest. The choppy water and chaos of the mass swim starts — some triathlons start 1,500 or more athletes at once — can cause anxiety and send an athlete's heartbeat into overdrive.
Dr. Larry Creswell, who oversaw USA Triathlon's study, thinks the trigger could come from minor genetic heart abnormalities that were undiagnosed. The stress of exercise can exacerbate these genetic defects, causing a heart attack. He advises triathletes to visit their doctors and have an electrocardiogram.
"Sudden cardiac arrest is an inherent feature of exercise; it probably happens 10 times a day," Creswell said. "When it happens in a running race, you see someone fall over, and rescuers can get on the scene quickly. But in a triathlon swim, it's harder to identify someone having a problem."
Dr. Rudy Dressendorfer, a longtime triathlete, disagrees. He thinks the problems arise when athletes do not warm up before starting the swim. Going from a resting stage to a sprint can put pressure on the heart, and a violent escalation of blood flow can shatter capillaries in the lungs, causing pulmonary edema.
"If it was cardiac defects, then how come these victims have raced for years without symptoms?" Dressendorfer said. "There has to be another mechanism at play."
Retired professional triathlete Brad Kearns, who operates the Auburn triathlon in northern California, requires his racers to swim for at least 10 minutes in Folsom Lake before the official start of the race. Kearns said he has never had a swimming death at his event.
"The body doesn't like to go from zero to 60 in six seconds; it likes to acclimatize to exercise," Kearns said. "Some racers jump from their car into a tight wetsuit and then into a cold body of water."
But not all races have the space to allow for warming up. Some have a staggered swim format, in which athletes start in waves, not at the same time. The New York City triathlon features a staggered start, but competitors must wait their turn on a dock before jumping into the Hudson River. And at San Francisco's Escape from Alcatraz, competitors jump from a riverboat into the water.
The sport slowly is changing protocols around the swim. The World Triathlon Corporation announced it would have pre-race warmup at North American events and additional lifeguards and rest buoys along each race's swim route. It also is changing the mass start format at Ironman races in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Mont Tremblant, Quebec;, Lake Tahoe, Calif.; and Florida.
"We felt there was more we could do to lessen athletes' anxiety and stress before the swim," said Andrew Messick, CEO of World Triathlon Corporation.
According to Nanjo-Jones, Pometta didn't warm up before plunging into the Russian River. Because of a traffic jam and long lines at the toilets, the two barely had time to put on their wetsuits and take their final photo before the race. And Nanjo-Jones said the crowded starting line did not have space for pre-race swimming.
Therese Block, Pometta's sister, waited on the riverbank with Pometta's daughter, Nancy. She said shortly after the start, she saw lifeguards bring a lifeless body to the beach. Recognizing the wetsuit design, Block knew it was Pometta and shielded her daughter's view.
Block said her family still struggles to make sense of Pometta's death. Before it took her life, triathlon had become Pometta's passion.
"I suppose we'll never know what happened," Block said. "My sister wasn't superwoman. She was a regular Joe who did this for fun, and it still happened to her."

|Dynamic Maps for Highly Automated Driving - Generation, Distribution and Provision
With an ever-increasing number of vehicles roaming the streets and a general intensification of ongoing daily traffic the current vehicular safety systems are not able to reduce the number of traffic accidents further.
As the majority of severe or deadly traffic accidents nowadays is caused by human error, car manufacturers and researchers alike focus on the self-driving vehicle as a promising solution to this problem, as a machine is unaffected from human conditions such as tiredness or drunk driving.
To enhance the overall achievable driving safety and comfort the self-driving vehicles rely on an additional map database, besides the hardware sensor system installed onboard.
The so-called High Definition Map (HD Map), a highly precise virtual model of the actual real-world provides detailed information about the ongoing traffic situation ahead of the car's sensor ranges. Otherwise critical traffic situations can be resolved by this a priori knowledge and if necessary, a handover of the driving control back to a human driver can be triggered.
The maintenance of the HD Map is a major challenge, as due to the importance of the map for the self-driving vehicle map updates have to be realized in much shorter time (minutes instead of months) compared to established concepts common for human-oriented digital navigation maps.
This thesis provides contributions in the areas of Distribution, Generation and Provision of such map updates, as the key communication challenges of the maintenance procedure.
Our first contribution is the development, implementation and evaluation of a protocol that realizes the context-specific distribution of partial and incremental map updates. The protocol has been designed with the prerequisites and requirements of a self-driving vehicle in mind. To achieve the efficient dissemination of updates to all cars the protocol relies on infrastructure-based (cellular) and ad hoc communication (WLAN) between the vehicles. The performance of the protocol is evaluated based on realistic traffic simulations and actual map content.
As our second contribution, we develop and implement an algorithm that detects changes in the road infrastructure (e.g. induced by construction sides) based solely on low-cost sensor information. This detection algorithm facilitates the succeeding update generation of the map data in the identified area. We evaluate the capabilities of the detection algorithm under a real-world data set in the example of a highway construction site scenario.
To enhance the provision of map updates and vehicular sensor data via wireless communication, we conduct our third and most comprehensive contribution. We focus on the design and enhancement of a variety of different techniques and concepts to obtain broad knowledge about the serving wireless network to be provided in a subsequent step as valuable information to related transmission scheduling algorithms. These techniques and concepts include the measurement and prediction of the various performance indicators of actual deployed cellular networks, via low-cost hardware and software, as well as their further usage in simulation and network connectivity maps, always with an emphasis on easy deployability and the reutilization of existing components.
Overall, this thesis presents essential contributions, which in their collectivity support the realization of a robust, dynamic and reliable maintenance cycle of an HD Map for self-driving vehicles.

Tires were originally made with natural rubber. With the evolution of mass production, the volume significantly increased and turned them into a man-made product now derived from synthetic rubber, which is essentially a plastic.
This is why we think it's so important to us to repurpose this product and avoid more plastics from entering landfill.
Our Balinese team does an incredible job at hand cleaning, washing, sterilizing and coating them with all natural based coconut oil cleansers. They are left out in the sun which significantly reduces it's potent smell! This process takes about 4-5 days before they even begin craftsmanship.
Most customers are surprised at how there is barely a noticeable smell, and this does significantly decrease with wear.
We did not want to sell a product that was not in line with our values of safety to humans. So, we pursued to have had our products lab tested and we are proud to say that the result was appropriate for long-term skin contact. We do not take this lightly and are ensuring we do consistent testing in this area. In over 5 years of sales we have never had any customer complaints.
However, we would suggest those who might have very sensitive skin and are allergic to latex to be mindful.
There are so many!
They are incredibly durable products, waterproof, soft and malleable against the skin. They are very lightweight, from bracelets, to earrings which make them the ideal travel companion.
The amazing thing is that these products is that they need very little, if any maintenance! You will find how resilient each product is and that each item looks brand new even after years of wear.
As they are already coated with our coconut oil based cleansers in our production process, they are good to go for it's entire lifetime. However, feel free to use a tiny bit of coconut oil to shine it up whenever you'd like.
For this collection, we have partnered with Tonlé, a zero-waste ethical fashion manufacturer based in Cambodia, to launch a unique collection of accessories made exclusively from fabric off-cuts and textile waste.
These fabrics are considered "deadstock", which is fabric that garment factories typically have left over after a production run, dyed a wrong colour or surplus fabric that is unsold by the textile mills and left in storage.
Poncho & headband - Repurposed jersey stretch fabrics. They are hand-cut and then hand-knit. Over time the piece will give and stretch a little more than the original condition.
Fringe pieces - Repurposed from vegan leathers.
Poncho & headband - hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Instructions for washing are on care label on the poncho.
Fringe pieces - wipe with damp cloth if needed.
We have some easy to wear and style videos for you to get the most versatility out of your pieces!
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. As each piece is upcycled, there is no accurate amount of the metals in every piece and may contain small amounts of other metals. Copper and zinc do not contain nickel, however, as each piece may vary slightly we cannot guarantee that it is entirely nickel-free.
Brass ages with time (just like wine!) and this is called a patina This means that due to natural oxidation of the metal and exposure to heat over time, it will slightly darken in colour. Storing the jewelry in a plastic bag will slow oxidation. Most customers actually enjoy the colour of the brass once it ages!
Similarly to sterling silver, it can be easily cleaned and returned to its original shiny state using natural cleaning methods. Ensure you are polishing it regularly to keep it's luster and shine!
Our favorite cleaner is called the UNIVERSAL STONE. An eco-friendly all-purpose cleaner that gives The Golden Collection an incredible shine!
An all natural cleaner:
Homemade Vinegar Paste
1. Create a paste from vinegar, salt, and flour. Mix 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of salt into 1/2 cup (125 ml) of white vinegar, stirring until combined.
2. Rub this paste onto the brass.
3. Rinse the jewelry under warm water.
4. Buff the jewelry dry using a soft, dry cloth.
Even simply rubbing lemon on the brass works well, too!
The short answer is it depends!
Any type of heat against the metal will cause oxidization, and in this process could cause some discolouring of the skin depending on your body chemistry and acidity levels. Sometimes, this could also happen if you have an allergy to the metal.
We normally advise that if you have very sensitive skin or have never tried wearing brass before, to be mindful and consider that before making a purchase.
Yes! We would suggest using a clear nail polish on the inside of the ring or bracelet and this will add a coating to avoid any discoloration. This is a very easy solution!
We have tried extensively to find various methods of plating to solve the discolouring problem. Our attempt to keep everything local to Cambodia made it very challenging, as well as the problem of most plating solutions being incredibly toxic for our artisans to use. We decided against this for that reason. We hope you can understand and enjoy brass for the beauty it carries on it's own!

"If only.." is the worst!
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream" C.S Lewis
I copied this off a women's e-newsletter that came this week. It's EXACTLY what I need to remember and what I've decided to take action on already.
The thing is... I have
no dream
attached to my goals. In my experience, I've found that doing what I feel is right and being consistent pays off big time in the end!
Learning German is an old goal from 2002 when I started a distance education course and never finished it.
Ten years
later I could be
if I'd have just stuck with it!
German is just so impractical! Why not learn Japanese (we're close, only makes sense - lots of J. tourists!), Spanish - the most spoken language after English, or French (Fr. Polynesia's close, get an understanding for alot of words in the modern English language). It also sounds as
as the flag looks.. yerk!
But for some
reason I'm loving it! It's confusing as heck, learning languages but at least my accent's ok!
I've finally decided that when I grow up I want to be a....
Oooh.. do I dare say? mmmmmm... No. For now I'll just learn the basics of chemistry and physics (like I never did at school because of the crummy teacher -
opportunities make me gasp!)
Then in a couple of years when I'm enrolled I'll let you know.
For now, it's German, high school brush ups and
little boys
to enjoy (in the reverse order).
I LOVE my family! And
thank you Mum and Dad. For extra
, for extra chats, for those feelings of home, of safety and relief in belonging. You
me and I'm so glad I get you for a while longer. xxxx (can you feel the tears spilling over?).

Steve Sarkisian Apologizes for Comments Made at 'Salute to Troy' EventAugust 23, 2015
USC head football coach Steve Sarkisian issued an apology Sunday for his inappropriate behavior at this weekend's Salute to Troy event, the school's yearly introduction of the team to major donors.
"I sincerely apologize to my players and staff and to our fans for my behavior and my inappropriate language at our kickoff event Saturday night," Sarkisian said in a statement. "I have a responsibility to all of them, and I let them down. Pat Haden talked to me after the event about my actions, and I assured him this will not happen again."
The coach provided more explanation for his actions on Aug. 25, saying "the moral of the story is if you mix meds with alcohol, you say things or do things you regret," according to Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated.
"The way I acted was irresponsible," Sarkisian continued, per ESPN's Brett McMurphy. "There are things we're going to work on for me, moving forward." McMurphy added the coach planned to enter treatment for his drinking.
According to accounts of the event on Twitter, many of which have been rounded up by Lost Lettermen here (contains NSFW language), Sarkisian was allegedly drunk during his speech. He said Oregon, Notre Dame and Arizona State all "suck" and used profanity during team introductions. Pacific Takes provided leaked video on Twitter:
After being pulled aside by USC officials, Sarkisian was allegedly removed from the event as team assistants finished the ceremony.
"I met with Coach Sarkisian, and I expressed my disappointment in the way he represented himself and the university at our Salute to Troy event," Haden said in a statement. "While the details of our conversation will remain between us, I am confident he heard my message loud and clear."
Sarkisian, heading into his second season as Trojans head coach, went 9-4 in 2014. The program is expected to make a major leap this season, with USC ranked No. 8 in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 and No. 10 in the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll.
As Ron Higgins of NOLA.com noted, one of the reasons Sarkisian got the USC job two years ago over interim head coach Ed Orgeron was Haden's faith in how Sarkisian would deal with alumni. Saturday night's embarrassment indicates everyone, no matter how polished, has an off day every now and then.

A recent OFSTED's monitoring inspection of children's services in Birmingham has raised some concerns about the language used in child protection conferences and how difficult it may be, for parents and children, to understand what is written there. OFSTED classified the language as being opaque and complicated.
Earlier this year, Surviving Safeguarding (a social work trainer and mother who has gone through care proceedings) published an article on CommunityCare where she talks about how the language we use in our documents, paperwork or in our daily practice can create barriers between children, families and the system. She also refers to another article that warned that children in care "are being bullied and singled out as they adopt "social work jargon" into their everyday language".
In this article, she states,
Fiona Duncan, chair of the Independent Review of Scotland's Care System, backed by Duncan Dunlop, chief executive of the advocacy charity for care experienced young people Who Cares? Scotland, called for an immediate end to social workers talking to children in this way.
"Workers just don't think", Dunlop states.
This subject is also been part of some very interesting tweets in the last few months and this made me think about some research that I have done in the past (for example the presentation I did in the World Social Work Conference in Brazil, back in 2008) about readability, and how important the use of this method/formulas can be, to assure that the documents and/or pamphlets that we usually create to "help" our clients are really written for them and that it can be fully understood, especially when we are so keen to say that our practice is "client-centred" and "client-focused" and how much we want our clients to be part of all the social work process and intervention
I think I will return to this tool, and use it for some pieces of research very soon…

Lansing's July 4 parade features multicultural flair
LANSING – Like the city itself, Lansing's July 4 celebration had a multicultural flair.
As a crowd of several hundred gathered around the Capitol for the annual Independence Day parade, local businesses, organizations and dance groups made their way down Allegan Street and Capitol Avenue, showing off the diversity of the Lansing region.
"It's fun and it's my culture," said 11-year-old Arriel Pressas, part of Fantasia Ballet Folklorico of Lansing. With fellow dancers ranging in age from 3 to 30, she had a chance to share a bit of Mexican culture during Saturday's parade.
The Philippine American Club of Greater Lansing had an additional reason to celebrate. In the Philippines, July 4 is officially Filipino-American Friendship Day, said Angel Fandialan, president of the club.
Several members of the nonprofit group walked in Saturday's parade, some wearing traditional Filipino outfits.
"It's an opportunity to celebrate the American Constitution's granting of rights to all citizens regardless of race, ethnicity or origin," said Fandialan, a retired Michigan Department of Transportation employee who first came to the United States as a college student. "We cherish more than 45 years of relationship between the two countries."
Lansing resident Winona Potter showed off some North African and Middle Eastern style at the parade with the Habibi Dancers of Lansing, a belly dancing group that offers classes through the Foster Community Center.
"I think it's great to show a variety of dances that you don't traditionally see every day," Potter said. She and about a dozen other women and girls, including mothers and daughters, shimmied along the parade route in red, white and blue shawls, shaking hips and bangles.

Combine one of the best roads in the world with the spectacular Grampians National Park and you have an experience every driver should have at least once in their life!
3 day tour
Includes: 2 nights accommodation.
4 days and 3 nights also available for only AU$120 extra!
Discover the incredible countryside, twisting roads and beautiful coastline on this round trip from Melbourne. It's world renown as one of the ultimate coast roads and if you add in the natural beauty of the lookouts and waterfalls of the Grampians National Park and the old fashioned towns and charms of the Goldfields you have an unforgettable short tour...
Great Ocean Road - Famous as one of the most scenic coastal
drives in the world, words can't describe the wonderful scenery
on this 280km stretch of road close to Melbourne. The road twists
and winds as soon as you set your wheels on it! There are plenty
of small coastal towns to stop for lunch and a coffee and with
fantastic ocean lookouts on one side and the greenery of the lovely
It takes longer than you might expect to drive along this road as there's so much to see. Take a walk in the temperate rainforest at Maits Rest and visit the 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, the Grotto, London Bridge, The Arch - the list oges on! Keep an eye out for koalas in the roadside trees but don't forget to watch the road as well as the spectacular views! Every driver should travel this road at least once in their life.
Note that if you decide on the 4 day, 3 night trip we can organise two nights on the Great Ocean Road or give you a full day in the Grampians National Park. This is another area that needs at least half a day to explore....
Grampians National Park - after driving along the Great Ocean Road you'll turn north to the lovely Grampians National Park. This area of granite highlands is jam packed with wildlife, superb lookouts and beautiful waterfalls.
The Visitor Centre at Halls Gap is incredibly interesting and will give you an overview of the area. By the time you've driven and taken a a short walk to the two main lookouts and perhaps walked to the base of one of the waterfalls you'll need at least a half day there. If you are on the 3 day trip this can be the morning before you drive back to Melbourne but ideally the four day trip gives you the day to take in the sights and see the area properly.
Goldfields - On the way back to Melbourne take in the quaint, old fashioned towns of Castlemaine and Daylseford with their lovely bakeries and cafes. The beautiful countryside sweeps by and makes for a leisurely drive back to the city.

Time is of the essence.
Get those kids into the theater and sell some toys. That's what the executives at Warner Bros. and DC Comics seem to have instilled as their mantra of late. And you can't blame them. After their dark cinematic universe failed to do numbers on the big screen and its CW counterpart targets demographics well-beyond toy-buying age, why not pivot to Sunday morning cartoon aesthetic and cutesy irreverence towards their own intellectual properties? Why not take what (I assume) is a popular action figure franchise known as DC Super Hero Girls (launched in 2015) and make an animated television series developed my "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" showrunner Lauren Faust? Stick it on Cartoon Network and watch the cash roll in.
Despite action figures and a web-series of 3-minute long adventures debuting around the same time, the addition of a theatrical lead-in will still bolster potential viewership. Enter #TheLateBatsby: a piece I must imagine plays exactly like those web-shorts, but with an updated look to introduce the one utilized in its jump to TV. Cue Mr. Freeze threatening to wreak havoc on the neighborhood just as Batgirl receives a call from the rest of the "girls" (Wonder Woman, Bumblebee, Supergirl, and Green Lantern) to take him down. Unfortunately for Batgirl, however, her dad hasn't yet turned in for the night. So she must bide time until she can escape her room and help win a battle that surely already started.
It's short, sweet, and to the point with a "DC Super Hero Girls" logo flashing onscreen before the end credits roll. The direction is smaller than expected as the action (fighting Mr. Freeze) is tabled in lieu of the mundane happenings and pratfalls Batgirl endures in her desperate attempt to catch up with her team. There are a couple decent laughs as the style skews super young to win fans from Disney's well-oiled Marvel machine, but it can't help feeling incomplete as a standalone entity. We're thrown into a scenario under false pretenses, endure a side quest, and get denied access to the big show. It's the definition of a marketing ploy tease. With a hashtagged title, nobody should be surprised.

Consider the importance of communication in putting the strategic plan into action. What are the components of effective communication within your final project? What are some best practices that you think work most effectively, and how may you use them within your future career? ( HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION)
Strategic planning is the process or mechanism used by healthcare organizations to analyze new regulations, policies, and procedures and to reconsider their
mission, vision, and values. Strategic planning can also be the vehicle that healthcare organizations use to revamp themselves and offer new products and
services. The healthcare manager plays an important role in analyzing and executing the organizational strategic planning. Understanding the key principles and
competencies associated with strategic planning, and how these principles and competencies are applied in day-to-day hospital operations, is critical for
healthcare managers.
This final project will provide you the opportunity to analyze strategic planning within a healthcare organization, including identification of stakeholders and the
role they serve in the process and the alignment between strategic planning and the organization's mission and vision. You will also be asked for
recommendations on the best course of action for the healthcare manager to make in terms of strategic planning around an issue.

Long Island City's hotel market was strong enough to account for the largest deal of the first quarter in Queens this year.

The University of Houston and the University of Houston Law Center have received the 2021 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine for the sixth consecutive year. The award recognizes U.S. colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion. The UH Law Center also received the distinction of Diversity Champion.
"I am extremely honored by UH's recognition from INSIGHT Into Diversity Magazine," said Paula Myrick Short, UH senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. "For UH to receive this recognition for the sixth year in a row shows the dedication of this university to creating an environment in which our faculty, staff and students are supported and encouraged to succeed."
The HEED Award process consists of a comprehensive and rigorous application that includes questions relating to the recruitment and retention of students and employees — and best practices for both — continued leadership support for diversity, and other aspects of campus diversity and inclusion.
"We take a detailed approach to reviewing each application in deciding who will be named a HEED Award recipient," said Lenore Pearlstein, publisher of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. "Our standards are high, and we look for institutions where diversity and inclusion are woven into the work being done every day across their campus."
In addition to the two HEED awards, the UH Law Center is the only law school to be named a Diversity Champion for its "unyielding commitment to diversity and inclusion throughout their campus communities, across academic programs, and at the highest administrative levels."
"The Law Center's mission has always been clear. We have historically provided opportunities for many first-generation college students," said Leonard Baynes, dean of the UH Law Center. "Our faculty teach students to be successful lawyers and have confidence in themselves despite societal barriers."
The University of Houston and the University of Houston Law Center will be featured, along with 100 other recipients, in the November 2021 issue of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education.

Someone asked me how to make the links they put for their nominees live. This is in reference to blog award posts. However you can use these same steps to make any word or phrase on your post clickable and it will go to whatever site you want.
First – go to the link that you want to make live. This is going to be the Home Page of the blog that you want to link.
Next – Copy the link……like this……
Highlight the URL which is in your address bar. It starts with https://
(That is the URL for the blog you want to make a live link for.)
Make sure you highlight the entire thing, even if it is long.
How do you Highlight something?
The way I highlight is to put the curser at the beginning of the thing you are highlighting, then hold down the left button on the mouse and slide it across the letters of the url (or whatever you are copying)
As you are using the mouse with the button down and sliding it over the words, the words should turn blue (or another color…it is blue on my computer)
After the entire https address is blue, then let go of the button and stop.
Save that to your computer temporarily by hitting two buttons at the same time…
.Control (ctrl..lower left on your keyboard) and the letter C, (make sure C is upper case)
When you hit control and C at the same time, it saves whatever you have highlighted in blue.
Go back yo your post. Find the blog address you want to make a live link.
Highlight the entire URL that you typed on your post, that you want to make into a live link, ,
Make sure it turns a color. Leave it highlighted like that.
Now you need to use a wordpress tool which is at the top of your post. I will explain. It is not hard at all.
You will see things across the top of the box that you are typing the post in. Make sure you are in the mode for editing or typing a new post.
You will see the letter B, which is to make something Bold. Then you will see the letter I slanted sideways, which is to make something italic.
Keep going across and look at all the symbols you see…..thnext is ABC with a strike out line through it, Then you see bullets and numbering. Then you see a pair of quotes…..
then you see things for aligning the post left, right or middle of the page.
After those, you will see a funny looking symbol that looks like a paperclip. This is what you want.
Hover your mouse over top of that paperclip symbol and it should say Insert / Edit Link
(you can hover over each one to see what they are if you like)
Check to make sure the link you are making live is still highlighted.
Then CLICK this Insert / Edit link button…
You will be given a pop up box that will allow you to paste that link into it. You want to Paste what you have previously copied (in step 2…your computer is still holding that..don't worry)
Then you want to paste your link into the URL box like this….
You want to hit two buttons at the same time…. Control and the letter V.
When you hit control and the letter V (capitol letter) you will paste whatever you previously copied.
Your copied link should now paste into that box which is asking for the URL.
NOW your link should be live. You can check it by saving your post and then viewing it. Then click on the link and see what happens.
Summing Up
That is the long detailed version. Now we will sum up.
To copy something you highlight the words and then hit Control and the letter C (Upper case C)
To paste it you highlight what you want to turn into a clickable link, then you hit Control and the letter V ( Upper Case)
Control C = Copy
Control V = Paste
The tool at the top of your new post page (or edit post page) has symbols that you can hover over and it will tell you what they are.
The symbol that looks kind of like a paper clip is the INSERT LINK tool.
To copy the link you want to paste, you go to the site and highlight the URL from the address bar.
Then hit Control C and save it to the computer
Highlight the link that you typed
Go back to your post.
Highlight the link you want to make live.
Go to the INSERT ? EDIT LINK tool and click
Paste your link into the box
Save your post and check the link.
I usually make it obvious that the links are clickable by a color and / or underlining. You can use the tools at the top if the page to do any of this. Just highlight what you want to bold and then hit the B.
Changing colors is the tool that is the letter A on the second line of your tools. The second line starts with word paragraph. There is a drop down arrow after the A that has your colors. Do it the same way…HIghlight what you want to change color , select your color from the drop down list next to the A symbol.
This sounds so much more complicated than it is. If I was sitting next to you..or even over the phone…I could show you easier and faster. Once you see how to do it, you will be able to show someone else and it will be easy for you to insert links into your posts from then on.
Put questions in the comments and I will go over anything that was unclear to you.

It was an evening filled with many stories, enough to fill a 47 year law enforcement career. The program began with Craig Floyd, Chairman and CEO of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, welcoming the audience and introducing the night's featured guest, Commissioner Charles Ramsey. Floyd outlined the Commissioner's impressive career, serving first as an officer with the Chicago Police Department who rose through the ranks, then moving up to Chief of Police in Washington DC, and finally retiring as Police Commissioner for the Philadelphia (PA) PD in 2015.
|Conversations on Law Enforcement: An Evening with Charles H. Ramsey
Commissioner Ramsey began the program by telling the audience about how he "accidentally became a police officer." As a young man, he worked in a grocery store where two officers frequently helped close up shop. One asked if he was interested in being a police officer. Despite plans to become a doctor, something about the offer had an appeal, including the fact that the department would pay for his college tuition. Ramsey signed up, became a cadet, and knew that police work was his calling.
Commissioner Ramsey remembered the challenging times police officers faced in Chicago during the 60s and 70s. This included the biggest controversy for the department at the time – integrating police cars. He said, "They called them salt and pepper cars."
The Commissioner also shared how his philosophies on policing have changed over the years. "When asked what my fundamental duty is as a police officer, I used to say, 'to enforce the law.' Now I say that it is to protect the constitutional rights of all people. Those are two very different things." He also stressed the importance for officers "to strive to make every contact [with the public] as positive as possible," and that the job really is ultimately about service.
Two of the biggest issues Commissioner Ramsey hopes to see change for police departments moving forward is a greater focus on community policing balanced with data driven systems, and more investment in the mental health of officers around the country.
In closing, Ramsey enthusiastically shared his support of the National Law Enforcement Museum being built, explaining its importance to the country. "[The Museum] captures the good, captures the bad, captures the real version of what police do. Without it, it would be left to Hollywood."
Finally, Mr. Floyd thanked Commissioner Ramsey for what he has done for the families of officers who have died in the line of duty, acknowledging those in attendance who came to see him for that very reason.

A permanent injury can be life-changing. If you've been involved in an accident and have suffered a permanent injury you may be wondering what's next. What happens after a permanent, irreversible injury? Do you need to hire an Arizona catastrophic injury attorney to get compensation?
Proving Permanent Injury After An Accident
Permanent injury after an accident is usually determined by your doctor and your medical records. Your doctor will determine when you reach "Maximum Medical Improvement." This is the point at which your condition has stabilized, and your condition is not expected to improve with additional time or medical treatments.
If you are not completely healed, this means that you have suffered a permanent injury. Doctors determine the extent of impairment using the AMA (American Medical Association) Guide of the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. Depending on the extent of your injuries, you may be determined to be permanently totally disabled or permanently partially disabled.
How Permanent Injuries Affect Your Life
Permanent injuries can impair your ability to live the life you enjoyed before an accident. Depending on the extent of your injuries, a permanent injury may result in high medical bills, an inability to work, difficulty enjoying hobbies and recreational activities, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an inability to participate in family life, and much more.
Options For Compensation After Permanent Injury
There are a variety of ways that you may be able to get compensation after a permanent injury that results in a disability. The specifics of the injury and your case will determine what you qualify for.
- Workers' compensation – If you are injured at work, you will be compensated by workers' compensation. In Arizona, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy for injuries or death of an employee, meaning a personal injury suit cannot be pursued for a workplace accident.
- Disability insurance – If you have a personal disability insurance policy or a disability policy through your employer, you may receive compensation for your injuries. Unlike workers' compensation, this also covers injuries experienced outside of work.
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) – Even if you do not have a disability policy with an insurer, you may qualify for SSDI if you meet certain work credit requirements.
- Personal injury claims – It may be possible to pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible person and/or their insurer. For example, if you're injured by a drunk driver, you can sue the driver and their insurance company for further compensation for your permanent injuries and disability.
Get The Compensation You Deserve After A Permanent Injury
It can be difficult to understand the compensation you are entitled to after a permanent injury. That is why you need an Arizona catastrophic injury attorney. At The Checkett Law Firm, we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
We specialize in traumatic and catastrophic injury cases that require expert legal advice and representation. If you have experienced a permanent injury in Arizona, contact us now for a case review, and start exploring your options for compensation.

Pahlmeyer Prop Red Napa 2013 (750 ML)
Dark garnet in color and nearly black at the core, the wine opens with concentrated aromas of ripe blackberry and wild blueberry, delicate notes of red raspberry and lavender, and a fresh waft of crushed slate. The silky entry is intense with cassis, black cherry and bitter chocolate, yet bright with red cherry and plum, grounded by notes of crushed stone. This powerful wine crescendos into a long, lingering finish. This item is available for Gift Wrap.

Interviewed by Kaaron Warren
Gillian Polack gets very confused when asked to describe herself and her writing in one sentence: the speculative fiction writer, historian, teacher and blogger are inextricably tangled.
Q1: Gillian, you're working on a number of novels, you're writing reviews and articles and you write the occasional short story. Amongst all this, you've devised an authentic period menu for the Regency Banquet at Conflux. Do you find one area easier to work in than the others? And can you tell me a little about how you came up with the menu for the Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Dinner?
The history is easier to work with, and most of the non-fiction. It doesn't require such a vast emotional input. When I write fiction it strips my soul bare. I don't know why I can strip my soul bare and then readers find it amusing, but that's what happens, mostly. Not having to strip my soul bare is easier on the inner self than wandering round with my innards showing, so non-fiction is easier.
The first thing I did with the Regency Gothic menu, was establish the set-up of the dining table around that time and look at menus from original sources. I found about fifty different pictures of what goes on a table when and a few dozen sets of menus. Then I read 4,000 pages of recipes from the early nineteenth century and picked the ones that I thought would work. After this, my testing team (myself and 24 friends) brought the recipes down to about the right numbers so I could select a final menu that matched the table set-up and so on. We must have done something right, the twenty-five involved, because the chef at Rydges accepted that menu with just one minor change.
Q2: Your novel Illuminations merges past and present very smoothly, and I came away feeling well informed at the end of it. Does your second novel, The Art of Effective Dreaming, merge the two time frames in a similar way?
It doesn't play with time in the same way, but it does play with place. I wanted to write something more metaphorical and to test the internal space of my major character, whereas in Illuminations I wanted to explore the notion of parallel voyages.
The Art of Effective Dreaming has no redeeming historical background, which is another difference. In fact, it has no redeeming background of any sort and is relentlessly inaccurate. This relentless inaccuracy is something it shares with Illuminations: most of the history in Illuminations is somewhat subversive.
Q3: You seem to have lot of non-fiction and fiction projects at hand, and you teach as well. Can you tell me how you see these things developing in the future? You teach history and creative writing; does teaching affect your own writing?
Right now, my projects work together, except for The Beast (Medieval Backgrounds for Writers). The Beast is a bit messy because I'm by no means the sole author. The Beast is on the backburner right now (simmering gently-I test it through my teaching) while we work on other projects and try to work out how writers *do* use the Middle Ages so we can give them something useful.
Teaching keeps me in contact with people and writing keeps me in contact with myself. Teaching gives me positive messages in my week and writing expands my capacity to express "not quite suitable for our imprint" with many variations. I want to keep up this balancing act for as long as possible. Writing is something I can't live without, but the teaching and the history make me very happy. I want my novels to appear, but I'd also like to see The Beast reach a wider audience at some stage.
My history and my writing have begun to influence each other quite a bit. I'm writing more of the Middle Ages into my fiction because I get demands for it through my teaching. I'm teaching the Middle Ages differently because the writing gives me some interesting insights as to how it's actually perceived by non-historians.
The fiction and the teaching take priority, though.
Q4. Enough about the writing, what's the best thing you've read this year?
Shaun Tan's The Arrival. It was the best thing I read last year, too. If you want a book with words, then it's Always Coming Home (Ursula Le Guin).
Q5. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you're given the opportunity to get it on with the fictional character you fancy most. Who's it gonna be and why?
It used to be Francis Crawford from Dorothy Dunnett's series, but in recent years my need for a sense of humour has grown and he just takes himself far too seriously. I'm still looking for a replacement.

What are stars?
Our Sun is a star and it is the only star in our Solar System – but it lives in a galaxy called the Milky Way, which is full of stars. The Sun is so big that 64 million Earth Moon's would fit inside it! It orbit around the middle of our galaxy, just like the planets orbit around the Sun.
A star is born when a cloud of gas and dust collapses into a big ball. This ball must be massive – big enough that the temperatures inside are hot enough to start nuclear fusion. The temperatures need to be at least 100 million degrees Celsius. Smaller clouds don't get this hot when they collapse. This means that starts can never turn into planets or the other way around. Planets will never be hot enough to burn atoms because they are too small. When a star is born there is still some dust around it which eventually collapse down to become planets.
These stars are all made of mainly hydrogen and helium gas (or plasma) which is being fused, or glued together, into bigger atoms like carbon and oxygen. This process is called nuclear fusion and it produces energy to keep the star burning – and all of the light we see. The stars are also different colours and this depends on how hot they are. The 'cooler' stars are red and the hottest stars are blue. We measure the temperature of a star by looking at its colour – and we get its colour by seeing how bright the star is in 2 different colours or wavelengths of light – like yellow and blue.
When stars are burning fuel they produce a lot of light and heat. People could only get to within 2.1 million km of the Sun before they would burn up form the heat. The heat from stars reduces quickly as we move away from a star though, and even though there are so many stars in the Universe there is so much space between them that the average temperature of space is -270 degrees Celsius! Space is mainly empty and cold!
When stars start to run out of fuel to burn (or fuse) they start to cool down. Our Sun is an average sized star – you can get some which are much bigger and some are smaller – but these stars are much more rare. An average star, like the Sun, will run out of fuel to burn in about 9 billion years (the Sun is half way through this lifetime). When it runs out the stars slowly collapse until they are very small and dense. They slowly fade and cool over time.
The next closest star to Earth (other than the Sun) is called Proxima Centuri. It takes the light from that star over 4 years to reach us here on Earth – the distance between us is over 40 million million km!
When we look at the night sky we make patterns in the sky with the stars called constellations. There are 88 constellations which cover the whole night sky around the world. These constellations are not the only stars though – they are just the brightest stars we can see from Earth. There are actually around 100 billion stars just in our galaxy, the Milky Way. There are just as many galaxies in the Universe – meaning that in the whole Universe there is an amazing 1000 billion billion stars! More than grains of sand on the whole of planet Earth! Every single one of these stars could have it's own Solar System of planets. We have currently discovered 2,500 other 'Solar Systems' in our galaxy alone – and we find new ones all the time!

Ilegal Mezcal
It all began when John Rexer, Ilegal's founder, started bringing mezcal down from various villages in Oaxaca to supply his bar in Antigua, Café No Sé. It was an instant hit and, in 2006, Rexer decided to make his own mezcal and Ilegal started to take shape. It required some light smuggling, but in the end it was all worth it. In 2018, Forbes called Ilegal one of the best mezcals to try. V Magazine says Ilegal "vends not only the secret, smoky spirit that is mezcal, but also a refreshing new mindset on consumer industries." Ilegal is a mission-driven brand, proudly supporting organizations like Planned Parenthood, National Center for Transgender Equality, Earthquake Relief in Oaxaca, and several others.

One of the most traditional forms of advertising and still one of the most effective, is a business sign. This is one of the most basic things that every business needs. In fact, most businesses require several signs in different points in their business and different types of signage that serve various roles for the operation. All of this need for signs can mean having to allocate a large part of the budget for signage, but signage does not have to be an expensive thing. Here is a look at a few tips you can use to keep your signage costs as low as possible for your business.
Invest in signs that can be altered in the beginning.
When you initially invest in new signs, consider how that sign will be used in the future. You should ask yourself if there is a potential that something about the sign will have to be changed within the next few years. For example, if you already know that you intend to do some re-branding in the near future, the sign you buy now could potentially have to change. Therefore, it will be a good idea to invest in a sign that can allow for updates as they are needed.
Opt for stock signs over custom signs when you can.
Custom signs are awesome. You get to work with a designer to come up with just precisely what you need to coincide with your own ideas about your business. However, custom signs can be a little more costly than basic stock signs, and there are probably a lot of signage needs that can be filled with basic stock signs. For example, signs for designated parking can be customized with the names of certain employees, or, you can just pick up stock reserved parking signs and make sure all employees know who the slots belong to with a posted memo at the office.
Make use of inexpensive, high-quality signage where possible.
Signs do not always have to be major with lights and all the snazzy embellishments; they can be just as effective in a more simplistic form. For example, something like magnetic signs are effective, but they are also made out of lightweight, inexpensive materials. Likewise, feather banners posted around your parking lot is amazing,really effective, and they really do not cost a lot of money.

We thought that would give him a little more time to sleep in. He was a little nervous, not knowing if any of his friends would be in class or not, be he seems to be doing well so far.

It's been too long since I've done a blog post, hence my 6+ week hiatus! I just recently got back from traveling all over Europe and wanted to share my experience with you all! First off I wanted to fill you all in on how I packed for a 6+ week trip with minimum access to washers and dryers. I personally have trouble narrowing down pieces to bring for shorter trips, but this time I knew I had to get serious and really plan out what I actually NEEDED vs. what might just get squished at the bottom of MY SUITCASE and never see daylight (who else tends to overpack?!?)
Our trip was scheduled from late April to the beginning of June, so I took a look at the local weather for each place to get a feel for what I may need. I picked out a few statement jackets to layer outfits with and to stay warm on chillier days. Definitely did not expect it to get as cold as it did, but luckily I packed extra layers and was able to borrow a winter jacket from my bother-in-laws sister! :) My go to was THIS DENIM JACKET--THE PERFECT FIT, COLOR, & COMFORT to complete any look! I also picked out some jackets that were unique and colorful to layer with basics. THIS PINK JACKET was super cute to add a pop of color to any outfit! I also loved THIS FRAYED JACKET to add an edgey feel and it's sooo soft!! I've linked a few more jackets I packed with me below :)
Next I picked out a few dresses, all different lengths but mostly stuck to basic colors and fun prints! What I love about dresses is how many different ways you can get away with wearing them by just adding a top, sweater or jacket! One of my favorite dresses was this one (I linked a similar one) I wore when we went to the tulip fields in Holland (will share that experience another time !!) I also packed a few sets, so I could mix and match the tops and skirts. I wore THIS WHITE SET & THIS BLUE FLORAL SET a lot together and separately! One of my other favorite sets I packed was a vintage 1940s polka dot set I purchased from eBay, and wore in Amalfi. I was super surprised I found some many GREAT CONDITION vintage pieces on eBay ( it was my first time ever using eBay, and now I have a little addiction to biding on vintage pieces LOL ) I totally recommend eBay if you're looking for something unique!!
As for bottoms, I packed two pairs of jeans and these shorts--literally lived in these denim shorts!! For my travel outfit I wore Lululemon align leggings because comfort :) I also packed this leopard skirt which I wore a of couple different ways! That was pretty much it for bottoms because I would layer my dresses to look like skirts or wear a skirt from a set, and wa-lah a new look!!
Towards the end of our trip we hit warmer weather so I saved some outfits for this leg of the trip. Like THIS WHITE LINEN DRESS (linked similar dress) & STRIPE SET as well as brought out my bathing suits to play in the sun! My favorite EXTRA EXTRA bathing suit was this one I purchased from amazon. I also LOVE THIS BIKINI I wore in Mallorca, super comfortable and cute!
Last up, the accessories and shoes! I've been loving the ugly sneaker paired with a dress look, especially for sightseeing. So I purchased these FILA sneaks and literally wore them the entire time! For a more put together look I brought my two favorite shoes from Bill Blass. THIS WHITE PAIR & PINK PAIR -- I love the detail, vintage feel and the colors of these shoes. So perfect to dress up any look! One of my favorite accessories are sunglasses. I always pick up a couple of new pairs before any trip I go on!! I usually purchase them through amazon, forever21 and freepeople. THIS PAIR were my favorite for this trip!! My last esstential accessory, Statement Earrings! I don't wear as much jewelry as I liked too, I tend to loose smaller pieces. But the one thing I can keep tabs on are earrings, especially my Bauble Bar earring. By far my favorite brand when it comes to a good statement piece! Here are a few of my favorites :
As I mentioned before we had limited laundry access over our 6 week trip but honestly it wasn't as hard as I expected it! (especially with a 4 year old) By packing smart I didn't run into any dirty laundry crisis. We did have to wash some basic items the old fashion way, aka sink and detergent but it wasn't too bad and really makes you appreciate the convenience of a washer and dryer! We had a couple of stops that had at least a washer so we utilized it to the max and came up with creative ways to dry our things fast! (hair dryers, irons, etc. LOL )
Before this adventure my longest trip away from home was 3 weeks. So this trip was by far the longest I had been on the road EVER and defininetly a learning experience for my future getaways!! All in all organizing is KEY when it comes to long adventures like this one! Forget overpacking and bring it back to the basics and essentials. From there add the extras to highlight your personality to create amazing memories and showcase who you were in that moment! Hope this helps a bit for you're future getaways and as always if you have any questions please leave a comment below :) and feel free to message me about discount codes :) 'till next time!
With lots of love,

New signs to be placed near 8 Vermont ponds, aim to protect native brook trout
The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department announced plans to place signs near 8 ponds where the use of baitfish is prohibited to better protect wild native brook trout populations.
Baitfish is any small fish used by anglers to attract larger game fish, according to Merriam-Webster. Live baitfish pose a competitive threat to native trout in the state, according to Fish and Wildlife.
"Wild native brook trout thrive in ponds where there are simple fish communities with no or few other fish species," department Fisheries Biologist Jud Kratzer said. "Adding new fish species, even minnows, disrupts a long-established food chain. Trout populations suffer as a result."
Protecting the brook trout
While brook trout are native to the Eastern U.S., they are no longer present in much of their original habitat range, the news release stated.
"Vermont boasts thousands of miles of cold, clean streams that provide excellent habitat for self-sustaining populations of wild brook trout, but only a few ponds in the state support wild brook trout," Kratzer said. "The baitfish prohibition on these special ponds will help the brook trout survive so they can be appreciated by future generations."
Brook trout's significance to Vermont
Brook trout are more than just a native part of Vermont's freshwater ecosystems — they are Vermont's official State Cold Water Fish, according to the Vermont General Assembly website.
The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department mentions this additional layer of significance in their recent news release, furthering the importance of protecting the species.
The protected ponds
The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and partners will soon place informational baitfish prohibition signs at public access points by 8 ponds that support wild brook trout populations. Here is the full listing of which ponds will be subject to this initiative.
- Beaver Pond (Holland).
- Blake Pond (Sutton).
- Cow Mountain Pond (Granby).
- Jobs Pond (Westmore).
- Lewis Pond (Lewis).
- North Pond (Chittenden).
- Unknown Pond (Avery's Gore).
- and Noyes Pond (Groton).
