en | N/A | N/A | February 22, 2015 — After more than eight months in captivity, Jesuit Father Alexis Prem Kumar has been released from Afghanistan and has returned to his native India. Fr. Prem was serving as country director in Afghanistan for Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) when he was abducted by a group of unidentified men on June 2, 2014.
JRS said in a statement that it is “immensely grateful to the Indian government for its role in achieving his release.”
"The last eight months have been a long and difficult period of uncertainty for Fr. Prem's family, friends and colleagues. You cannot imagine our relief that he is now home, safe and sound. We are aware of the tireless efforts at many levels to achieve his release, and we are grateful for the consolation we have received from the prayerful support of countless friends — including those of the school children from the school where he was kidnapped," said Jesuit Father Peter Balleis, JRS International Director.
Fr. Prem was taken by a group of men in western Afghanistan while on a visit to a JRS-supported school for refugees. JRS has worked in Afghanistan since 2005, and even during the difficult months of Fr. Prem’s captivity, JRS continued to run its programs in the country to ensure that Afghan students had access to quality education.
Before moving to Afghanistan five years ago, Fr. Prem worked for JRS serving Sri Lankan refugees living in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
"Our attention now turns to the welfare of Fr. Prem. All of us will do whatever we can to ensure that Prem receives the necessary attention and support from his family, his Jesuit brothers in the Society of Jesus, and his many friends and colleagues in JRS," said Jesuit Father Stan Fernandes, JRS Regional Director in South Asia.[Source: Jesuit Refugee Service] |

en | N/A | N/A | You are here: Home Think Organic How safe are the household cleaners that you use?
It is well known that traditional household cleaners are extremely harmful for your health and the health of you family. These cleaners contain various chemicals and harsh toxins that can lead to cancer, upper respiratory irritation, nausea, headaches or skin irritation. The government stated a few regulations that classify chemicals according to different safety requirements. All cleaning products should meet these requirements. Still, latest studies have demonstrated that these regulations are of no use.
The majority of commercial house cleaning items leave behind residues and fumes that poison the air and the environment. Bottles of ammonia and bleach that have the caps on can also emit toxic gases that harm the air and the people breathing it in. Disinfecting and cleaning your home is highly important, but you don’t need to use harsh cleaners to do that. While cleaning your home, you are ruining your health. Keep in mind the large number of conditions that can be caused by these toxic chemicals.
The safest way to clean your home properly is to use natural cleaning products. It couldn’t be simpler than that. Hgreen product. There are numerous companies that are exaggerating the truth so as to make customers buy their products. They are using some natural ingredients, but they are also including parabens that are extremely dangerous. So, they have no backup for their claims. Other industries are not even using natural ingredients. They’re just trying to use less harmful chemicals, which is a liechemicals in the cleaning products is to browse the internet. There are numerous opinions, reports, articles, forums and blogs that will offer you all the details that you need. Be careful because some online sources are not trustful and will only misinform you. As you can see, it’s quite difficult to take a decision. You must search for a reputable company that manufactures 100% green cleaners. Look for a business that conducts various studies so as to create better products. Search the internet for reviews regarding various companies and try to make an informed decision. Also, choose the products that have patents. This means that the items were created by the company itself and that the organization has invested time and effort in those cleaners. Moreover, remember to always pick a company that has an efficient money back guarantee.
The above mentioned tips must be kept in mind whenever you’re shopping for cleaning products. By doing this, you’. Switching to green products will also help you have a cleaner home. |
en | N/A | N/A | A dramatic Grand Final race for the British Truck Racing Championship was the highlight of another superb day of action at Snetterton today (Sunday).
The race combined both the Division One and Division Two categories and saw 15 trucks go head to head, though the contest had to be aborted mid way through with two trucks broken down. When it restarted, Division Two contender Luke Garrett regained his initiative and held the lead again, but finished just six tenths of a second clear of John Bowler, with former Clio Cup champion Paul Rivett third.
With the premier class drivers starting behind the Division Two contenders, and with a time delay, Richard Collett sliced through from effectively 13th place at the start to take fourth and Division One honours in the space of three laps.
As well as the Grand Final, there were three other races from the biggest racing machines in the country.
Dave Jenkins claimed a remarkable triumph in the first Division One contest of the day. Despite losing three seconds a lap in the final stages of the race, he held off a charge from reigning champion Ryan Smith despite a broken gearstick, taking victory by three tenths of a second.
Jenkins then doubled up in the second Division One race of the day, again defeating Smith by three tenths of a second after a race long duel, with the pair a long way ahead of John Newell in third place.
Paul Rivett claimed victory in the sole Division Two race of the day, after late controversy. Rivett had led most the race, but John Bowler crossed the line first. However a forceful move at Wilson was deemed as unfair by the stewards, and the positions were reversed.
As well as the numerous truck racing contests, support race action from Legends, Pickup Trucks, Super Silhouettes and Kumho BMWs completed an extremely entertaining package of 12 races.
Off track, the free Crazy Golf Course and Remote Control Land Rovers kept families entertained, along with the additional activities of Mini Monster Trucks, Fairground rides and a large Show Truck display.

On the second anniversary of the religious riots in Delhi, rights groupFrontline Defenders and Human Rights Watch, have criticized the right-wingfor wrongfully prosecuting activists under draconian anti-terror laws.
The Delhi Minorities Commission’s investigation found that the violence was “planned and targeted” and that the police were complicit in and even abetted the violence.
A video showing the police’s anti-Muslim bias during the riots also gained media attention. In that video, several policemen could be seen forcing five grievously injured Muslim men lying on the street to sing the Indian national anthem to “prove their patriotismraised concerns over the Indian government’s use of the UAPA against human rights activists.

en | N/A | N/A | For you pork aficionados out there, this Tender Braised Pork Belly is another home-run dish that is guaranteed to leave you “belly” satisfied. I believe every Chinese household would have their own version of braised pork recipe so there is no “right or “wrong” when it comes to cooking this dish.
That being said, the key to achieving the deliciously deep rich color and flavorful morsels of meat is the use of dark and light soy sauce. Light soy sauce is savory so that gives the salty component to the dish while dark soy sauce lends that dark hue to the pork. I highly recommend you to use a good quality thick dark soy sauce (also known as lao chou 老抽).
Like every braised dishes, this braised pork belly tastes even better the next day as the flavor develops further into the meat.
500 g pork belly – sliced into ½ inch thick and 3 inch size
1 tbsp rice wine / shaoxing wine
Heat a large clay pot over medium high heat without adding any oil.
Remove meat from clay pot and set aside.
Add crushed garlic into the clay pot and toss until fragrant.
Turn up heat and return pork into the clay pot. Pour in seasoning and give it a good toss so all the meat is evenly coated.

en | N/A | N/A | Corporate travel is open for business again and lockdown is slowly easing, with the world’s economies loosening restrictions to prepare everyone for the “new normal”. But while corporate travel gets back to its feet, many companies have reduced budgets and need new travel accommodation solutions for their employees abroad.
Serviced apartments are the go-to choice for business travellers in this new world, and there are many reasons why. If you’re a corporate booker or a corporate traveller that’s looking to manage corporate travel budgets while still delivering the highest quality accommodation for employees, then you need to know what business travellers love about serviced apartments:
If there’s one thing that business travellers love, it’s more space to unwind after a long day in the office, plodding business lunch and exhausting network events. On average, a serviced apartment is 40% larger than a hotel room. What does this mean? It means features like a living room, a fully equipped kitchen to cook meals and even a laundry facility are a definite. This larger space makes the serviced apartment feel like home, as opposed to a hotel room that never feels like a space you can enjoy indefinitely.
When business travellers arrive, they want a space that has everything they need. They don’t want to be going somewhere else to when their apartments should already have what they need. And with serviced accommodation, guests have everything they need for short or long term stays in their chosen destination. From the likes of a fully equipped kitchen to free Wi-Fi, a cosy living area, a flat screen TV, a sublime sleeping space and the possibility of a balcony with stunning views across the skyline, returning to a serviced apartment at the end of a long slog is as rewarding as walking back into a guest’s own home. It’s no wonder that big corporations choose serviced apartments for their staff - they know that they’re paying for a space that is relaxing for their mental state.
And then there’s the addition of gyms, rooftop decks, barbecue pits, swimming pools and other things that add a touch of finesse that makes any short or long term stay one to enjoy. The apartment makes a business traveller feel at home, but these cool benefits make them feel like they’re on vacation too.
Close to office spaces and networking events
Ease of access to public transportation
Another perk with serviced apartments being centrally located is that they will close to public transportation networks across the world’s major cities. The last thing that business travellers want is a long commute to the office. They want a fast and simple commute that puts their needs first and enables them to get from A to B with as little hassle as possible. Thankfully, serviced accommodation can be found close to all transport networks. Whether it’s close to the New York and Paris subways or the London Underground, business travellers can stay in the best cities and their top neighbourhoods and still get the office and events with ease.
Travel accommodation solutions need to be global in this day and age. With the business world more interconnected than ever, it’s long stay travellers need solutions in all the top financial centres that set the pulse of the global economy. Serviced apartments can be found and booked in all the key corporate cities; London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Amsterdam, San Francisco, Frankfurt and Dublin are just some of the cities that deluxe serviced accommodation can be booked.
Business travellers like reliability with their chosen provider. They want to be treated like the first-class client they are. Professional service, fast bookings, friendly guest services staff and a reservations team that goes above and beyond. With serviced accommodation providers like TheSqua.re, they get just that - a first-class and award-winning experience from start to finish in every popular destination.
Compared to the rates of hotels, business travellers can save so much more when they choose serviced accommodation over hotels - which is why they’re always booking them! Think of seasonal hotel rates, and the chances are most eyes would pop out. With serviced accommodation, business travellers and corporate bookers know that they can get the perfect rate for the time of year and have an advantageous space that they can call home.
TheSqua.re is busy creating new technologies that make corporate bookings and stays simpler and easier. With platforms like aPerfectStay, TheSqua.re is ensuring that the serviced accommodation industry opens up safely after OCVID-19, with the technology helping TheSqua.re and other users to guarantee the cleanliness of their apartments, ensure it abides by WHO/CDC guidelines and keep guests safe and secure within the “new normal”. With apps like TheSquare.AI as well, a corporate booking platform that enables corporate bookers to manage budgets, shortlist their favourite apartments and enjoy a faster booking process, it’s no wonder that business travellers choose serviced accommodation solutions - they come with all those little extras that put them first.
With the new world coming into fruition after months of lockdown and uncertainty, corporate travellers want a travel accommodation solution that puts their health and safety first. While the technology from TheSqua.re mentioned above helps to fight against the virus, the setup of serviced accommodation also helps. With self check-ins and distance from others easy to maintain, corporate travellers are now choosing serviced apartments as the best way to travel the world on business and stay safe.

A Word About Printers
Colour (color) Management
The issue is matching the colour of the photo on the screen to the colour you get on a paper print. Ideally, the colours you see on the screen are what you will see in the print. This will generally be the case if you are using a post-2001 or so computer and printer and you are shooting and maintaining your photos in sRBG colorspace. Most digital cameras by default shoot in sRGB. Your printer will recognize this and match its output to your sRGB display. Most consumer commercial systems (regular photo stores) also match their printed output to sRGB colorspace digital photos.

How can we convert class files to Java files?
JAD, the fast Java Decompiler, is a program that reads one or more Java class files and converts them into Java source files which can be compiled again. Jad is a 100% pure C++ program and it generally works several times faster than decompilers written in Java.
What does a decompiler actually do?
A decompiler is a computer program that takes an executable file as input, and attempts to create a high level source file which can be recompiled successfully. It is therefore the opposite of a compiler, which takes a source file and makes an executable.
How to use Procyon Java decompiler?
Open command prompt. Type java -jar; then give the full path of the procyon decompiler jar file. After that type -jar.give full path of jar file you want to decompile. Now type - o, and give the output directory path where you want.

en | N/A | N/A | In plant science, for most known species, a plant can be either a tree with supporting branches, an elongated stem, or a stem and leaves. In some uses, the definition of a tree is also narrower, with secondary woody plants that can take wood or trees of a certain height. trees are mainly. Like the largest plants in the world, they store carbon, provide us with clean fresh air, stabilize and enrich our soils, and help with our world's biodiversity.
They also provide us with materials needed for many activities. 4ooo+ nive employment to more than 1.6 billion people, absorb a greenhouse gas known as carbon, and are a key ingredient in a significant amount of all medicines.
With all that said, trees can still sometimes be a hassle when they're located on our property. The number of times we have to clean our yard increases because of falling leaves, trees sometimes occupy too much space, trees can sometimes be hazardous, and many more. For these reasons, you can't help but wonder if removing a tree on your property can benefit you or not.
Without a tree taking up any extra space, the homeowner(s) can add additional constructions to their property.
Cutting large parts of the tree or cutting the actual tree itself can free up space for the homeowner(s) to add any structures such as a pool, or a yard, or a fire pit, or a zen area, or any other ideal things that the homeowner(s) might want to add into their property.
The roots of a tree can spread pretty wide from the tree and can grow big.
As this happens, concrete structures like foundations and sidewalks might lift and get impaired, leading to big damages to your property. Cracks found in-ground concrete or protruding large roots from underground can also increase the chances of someone tripping on them or someone getting hurt by accident.
An unattractive-looking or extremely large tree that gives too much shade can generally affect a home's curb appeal.
Maybe a homeowner's property has a dead or dying tree. Cutting down or removing these sorts of trees may be the best choice if you want to increase your property's value.
When branches from trees naturally overgrow, it sometimes hinders our view of the outside when we are inside. Removing the tree solves this problem. Without a tree blocking any openings in your house, you get a betterCutting the tree can also bring in more natural sunlight because branches no longer block it. On the other hand, however, a tree can provide one with privacy from next-door neighbors.
Trees can be a safety hazard, especially when you have adventurous kids that tend to be quite playful like they normally are. For example, they could attempt climbing it and then end up falling from it, causing them to obtain minor or even major injuries.
The tree could also be a diseased one that has very weak branches.
Those branches could break off and fall on someone. Protruding roots can also be dangerous as people could accidentally trip on them and get hurt.
Owning a tree can be quite a hassle. Steps are needed to be taken when one is doing tree maintenance. To achieve a luscious, beautiful tree, one needs to take specific steps such as providing it with water regularly, providing it with mulch, and providing the tree with fertilizer.
A homeowner also has to prune the tree and trim it to ensure that its structure will improve while also removing dead branches of the tree. Check-ups are also needed to make sure your tree is healthy and Pest free. A lot of companies offer tree maintenance or tree removal by Tree Triage.
Dead or dying limbs and branches of trees can fall off on roofs, roads, cars, and power lines. Dead trees can also become fire fuels, which is bad if a fire accidentally begins near the tree.
It gives extra space. Removing the tree would prevent damage to the foundation or sidewalks caused by protruding roots. It gives a better curb appeal. Tree removal would give you a better view of the outside. It ensures safety. It lessens maintenance costs. When circumstances are really bad, tree removal is what's best for the surrounding area. |

There is no reason to max out more than $36,000 in a CDA even if the child’s order is 5th and beyond. Although the interest rates offered are highly competitive, CDA trustees must not forget that savings in CDA are less liquid owing to its restricted usage. Withdrawal of such funds in cash is impossible and therefore, it should not be viewed as a source of emergency cash. There is a slew of savings products that offer high interest rates as well. Therefore, viewed in this light, the interest rates offered by the 3 local banks on their respective products are equally competitive.

It was not too late to play back 16…Be4 after 16.g4 but former world champion suddenly left his bishop under the threat. Veselin could not explain what exactly he missed. His original idea was to play 16…Bb4 but White was still better in that line.

en | N/A | N/A | Bafta Rising Star award: Always the bridesmaid, never the groom
Women were nominated as Bafta newcomers, but were snubbed at a public vote. Why?
Snubbed … Jessica Chastain. Photograph: Allstar/ICON FILM DISTRIBUTION/Sportsphoto Ltd

First published on Thursday 12 January 2012 16.00 EST
Where did all the women go? Specifically, the women nominated for a Bafta Rising Star newcomer award. Following the first stage of public voting by Orange mobile phone customers, Bafta's longlist of three women and five men has become a shortlist of … five men. Now the rest of us can join in and vote for our favourite young actor. As long as he's a man.
The award was created in honour of a woman: casting director Mary Selway, who died in 2004. Selway worked on more than 90 films, including the kind of Hollywood-rivalling British successes that David Cameron is so keen to encourage: from Gosford Park to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. To commemorate the many careers that Selway helped to kickstart, the Rising Star award is presented to someone who "". The longlist was drawn up by a jury of seven men and six women, including the chair, Pippa Harris, producer of Revolutionary Road and Jarhead.
The women who fell by the wayside include Felicity Jones, who played Miranda in Julie Taymor's The Tempest, and Jennifer Lawrence, who starred in Winter's Bone, which was nominated for a best picture Oscar last year. The biggest shock is Jessica Chastain, who has had a great year, appearing inthe Palme d'Or-winning The Tree of Life. She's next to be seen in Ralph Fiennes's Coriolanus – maybe that film will appeal more to Orange customers.
The five actors remaining on the shortlist are Chris O'Dowd, who made the cut while not one of his many female co-stars in Bridesmaids got a look-in; two stars from Thor, the lead Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, currently seen in War Horse; Adam Deacon, star of Kidulthood and its sequels, and Eddie Redmayne, who starred in My Week with Marilyn, and has also expressed his surprise at the absence of women from the shortlist, describing Chastain as "phenomenal".
No one suggests the first-round vote was anything but above board. However the shortlist has been greeted with disappointment and widely reported as a snub, particularly for Chastain. Katon, told the Telegraph that the news was "saddening". Simon Pegg, a juror, expressed his dismay on Twitter: "Sad to see no women on the Bafta Rising Star shortlist. The panel that determined the longlist had no say in the final five." Since 2002, the Bafta ceremony has been scheduled to take place just before the Oscars, positioning itself as one of the forecasters of success at the Academy Awards. The rollcall of past newcomer winners includes two women: Kristen Stewart and Eva Green, as well as male actors including James McAvoy, Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Noel Clarke.
Rachel Millward, founder-director of the Birds Eye View film festival, told the Times she thinks the shortlist reflects the male-dominated slant of the industry: "Mainstream cinema is written by men, the narrative is driven by men and female characters are basically sidekicks who do not even interact with each other. Clearly we have fantastic female acting talent, but they are really struggling to find enough roles." The Bafta Rising Star shortlist is another link in a vicious circle: men get the best roles, win the most plaudits, and continue to dominate the industry.
Wouldn't it be great if, when women find the opportunity to shine on screen, we embrace the opportunity to celebrate their talent too? How about Mélanie Laurent, Chloë Moretz, Bérénice Bejo, Mia Wasikowska, Elle Fanning or Rooney Mara?
It's hard to say whether the outrage at this year's Rising Star shortlist will translate into more female nominations next year, or just more publicity for the Baftas. If we are to have more contenders such as Meryl Streep for the 2012 best actress gong, then hopefully next year will see more newcomers who are women.

Not that long ago, I was hiding.
Have you ever felt embarrassed to tell an acquaintance you're doing something unexpected? Something your heart is calling you to do, and you're feeling tender about sharing the dream with others?
It's OK to not be ready. To be following your heart, trying on a new way of being, quietly taking notes on how it feels. That's the first stage of change--internal shifts.
Start practicing. By yourself. With strangers you'll never see again. Don't worry about how it sounds. Just practice. It's hard for everybody at first.
Here's what I wished I'd known then--when I believe myself, they do too. When I speak with confidence, they hear me.

The pulpal nerve fibers, A-delta (which respond to cold and the EPT) and C-fibers (which respond to heat and elicit th, are .9ine pulpal status. Below are the current pulpal diagnosis terminologies.10
Pulpal necrosis can result from an untreated irreversible pulpitis or immediately after a traumatic injury that disrupts the vascular system of the pulp. A necrotic pulp does not respond to cold tests, EPT, or heat tests.
Periradicular Diagnosis
Chronic apical abscess: Radiography typically reveals a radiolucency. Clinically, there is a sinus tract present on the gingival tissue. The draining sinus tract should be traced with a gutta-percha cone and then confirmed radiographically (Figure 5 and Figure in the periapical region. The opacity represents a localized osseous reaction to a low-grade inflammatory stimulus.
Choosing the Correct Local Anesthetic
In conjunction with integrating regional and supplemental local anesthesia, selecting the correct type of local anesthesia plays an important role in a clinician’s ability to obtain profound pulpal anesthesia.
Regional Block
Epinephrine is acidic and therefore lowers the pH of the injection site. This lowered pH will enable fewer amounts of base to be available for nerve sheath penetration. Also, although epinephrine acts on both alpha receptors (vasoconstriction) and beta receptors (vasodilatation, bronchodilation, and increased heart rate and contraction), its effect on beta receptors is equal to its effect on alpha receptors.17 Therefore, the amount of vasoconstriction that will actually occur in the injection site will be affected.
Since the introduction of articaine into the US marke betweenin IANB anesthesia.18,19 with 2% lidocaine.20,21 The clinician must consider these risks along with the benefits of administering 4% articaine for IANB anesthesia.
Periodontal Ligament Block
The use of 2% lidocaine with 100,000 epinephrinein achieving pulpal anesthesia through a periodontal ligament injection than using a local anesthetic without a vasoconstrictor.23,24
Although the literature supports the use of an anesthetic with vasoconstrictor for administering for an intraosseous block,25 the clinician needs to be aware that this will increase heart rate in most patients.26 Therefore, the clinician needs to balance a longer anesthetic effect along with a patient’s tachycardia response versus using 3% mepivacaine (with no epinephrine) and eliminating the cardiac effect but shortening the duration of the local anesthetic effect. A study by Reisman et al27 reported that when a repeated intraosseous injection with 3% mepivacaine (with no epinephrine) was administered, there was an increase in anesthetic success to 98%. Empirically, most patients get an uncomfortable feeling when their heart begins to race after the epinephrine enters their system as the result of the intraosseous block.
NSAID Usage Preoperatively Before Local Anesthesia
Residual Canal Debris
Residual canal debris is organic and/or inorganic material that remains on the dentinal wall after conventional endodontic chemomechanical canal preparation is completed.35 This residual canal debris is also referred to as the smear layer. The organic and/or inorganic substance is derived from ground dentin; pulpal remnants; and, in cases of infected root-canal systems, bacteria.36
The clinical goal of endodontic obturation of a root-canal system is to fill empty spaces, promote hermetic sealing, and prevent bacterial activity from infiltrating the periapical tissues.43 Although gutta-percha has been a consistent material used in canal obturation for the last 40 years, techniques and sealers have changed during that time. Various techniques, such as lateral compaction, warm vertical compaction, and carrier-based obturation, have been reported in the scientific literature.44,45 In regard to sealers, the most current trend is the bioceramic sealer.46 It has been reported that bioceramic sealers are nontoxic, are hydrophilic, expand upon setting, and are antimicrobial.47

Land Use Planning envelops our entire future: Jobs-Housing-Transportation. How much of what is built where, determines revenue, sustainability and quality of life.
Impact fee for new commercial development will fairly address a variety of housing needs. Redevelopment Agencies once provided funding for schools and housing. Taxpayers should not assume the burden.
Liz moved to San Francisco, and for 10 years was an Associate with Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Quade and Douglas BART extensions and Light Rail systems for Santa Clara County, Baltimore, Austin and Denver.
In 1990, Liz was tapped to take on the conversion of Campbell Avenue. The project would be a game changer for the city. The redevelopment of Historic Downtown Campbell would ultimately revitalize the downtown core and create an undeniable sense of place. Once again downtown Campbell Avenue became a two-way street. New sidewalks, parking, street lighting, parks and landscaping were all part of its economic development, which would include the creation of Ainsley Park and the Orchard City Green.
Prior to 2014, Liz served 17 years as the Campbell Planning Commissioner. In this capacity Liz garnered significant understanding of city codes and ordinances, which included time on the General Plan Committee in 2000, and the 2009 and 2015 Housing Element updates. Recognized for her leadership and depth of knowledge, her colleagues on the Campbell Planning Commission elected her Chair for a third time in 2010. It’s this depth of knowledge that enables Liz to ask the tough questions, as the city explores the current General Plan Update.
Liz understands how all the pieces — budgets, ordinances, guidelines and codes – must fit together to maintain Campbell’s stability and quality of life. She wants to be ready for any economic fluctuations or potential natural disasters. Liz is deeply engaged in the politics of addressing affordable housing and homelessness. Most importantly, she wants to make sure our neighborhoods thrive.
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Liz has the professional background to make sure Campbell carries positive momentum into the future. This includes Bond Measure O, which the city placed on the November 2018 ballot to upgrade Campbell’s public library and police facilities both constructed in the 1970s. With 40 years of professional experience, Liz understands the complexity of what needs to be built and at what cost. She consistently questions assumptions and requires the facts to assure that our tax dollars are well spent. As a licensed architect, Liz managed design and construction budgets from $5M to $100M. Under her direct supervision, teams of 5 to 25 staff produced exceptional on-time and on-budget work resulting in repeat clients. Additionally, Liz was LEED AP certified in 2004.
To date, the city’s governing has a proven track record.
· Campbell has award-winning financial management.
· Our prized parks are well maintained and updated, and thanks to a $1M Santa Clara County grant, we will have an ‘Inclusionary Play Area’ at John D. Morgan Park.
· Road replacement and resurfacing continues to receive significant funding increases from local and state resources.

en | N/A | N/A | Thanks to the National Park Service, which turns 100 this year, our region has beautiful places to hike. Here are some favorites for every skill level:
Distance from DC*: 64 miles.
Why Go: Blue Ridge Mountain vistas, river views, and a generous dose of Civil War history are all on tap at this West Virginia park. Its 20 miles of trails—including the midpoint of the 2,178-mile Appalachian Trail—range from the pancake-flat C&O Canal towpath to challenging climbs over hardscrabble terrain.
Best Easy Hike: Appalachian Trail North
Starting at the information center in town, the route crosses the Potomac River footbridge and traces the C&O towpath on the most level 2.5 miles of the Appalachian Trail.
Great Strenuous Hike: Maryland Heights
The 6.5-mile trail can get crowded on weekends, but there’s a reason for its popularity. Departing from the information center, it leads to an old stone fort, a naval battery, trenches, and other Civil War relics, many with interpretive signs. The reward: a spectacular view of historic Harpers Ferry and the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers.
With an 80-foot gain in elevation, this challenging, 7.5-mile hike isn’t for novices. From the information center, cross the Shenandoah River bridge and follow the trail to several scenic lookouts. It ends at the Split Rock overlook with fabulous views of the Potomac and Shenandoah confluence from a southern perspective.
Stay: Jackson Rose Bed & Breakfast (1167 W. Washington St.; 304-535-1528) is in a late-18th-century dwelling that briefly served as Stonewall Jackson’s headquarters.
Eat: Order a burger or salad and watch the trains go by from the expansive patio at the Potomac Grille (186 High St.; 304-535-1900).
Nearby: Pre- or post-hike, explore Harpers Ferry, where the National Park Service operates 24 historic structures. Start at the information center for an orientation (171 Shoreline Dr.; 304-535-6282).

Distance from DC: 32 miles.
Why Go: This 15,000-acre refuge is an often overlooked gem. Yet with 37 miles of hiking trails—including one that stretches for nine miles—it harbors Northern Virginia’s most extensive trail network. Historical fun fact: During World War II, it was used as a spy-training facility by the OSS, precursor to the CIA.
Best Short Hike: Cabin Branch Pyrite Mine Trail
A pyrite mine was in operation here from the 1880s until 1920. (Pyrite was used to make sulfuric acid.) The mine sites are filled in, but vestiges of various operations and buildings remain, along with educational signs. This trail is just three-tenths of a mile long but links to other trails for a total 2.5-mile moderate trek.
Best Moderate Hike: Farms To Forest Trail
The three-mile trail, which starts near Oak Ridge Campground, runs through former farmland. Though forest has reclaimed some of the territory, it’s easy to see where crops were cultivated. Other evidence of past inhabitants includes a cemetery.
Best Long Hike: South Valley Trail
The 8.7-mile trail starts from Oak Ridge Campground and follows the south fork of Quantico Creek. (The less energetic can trim the 18-mile round trip by simply turning back.) Along the way, it passes a couple of lakes and New Deal–era cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Stay: Basic park cabins with beds, a picnic table and grill, and a shared bathhouse accommodate three to ten guests.
Eat: Harold & Cathy’s Dumfries Cafe (17670 Fraley Blvd., Dumfries; 703-441-1465), a local haunt, serves classic diner fare.
Nearby: The National Museum of the Marine Corps traces the history of this branch of the military. Aircraft hang from a soaring, glass-domed gallery, with adjoining exhibits on major conflicts (18900 Jefferson Davis Hwy.; 877-635-1775).
Distance from DC: 71 miles.
Why Go: Home to the presidential retreat, Camp David, this Maryland park features 25 miles of hiking trails across 5,810 acres of hardwood forest. Many of the trails boast great views of the Monocacy River Valley as well as remains left by early settlers who used the land over the years for farming, mining iron ore, and brewing hooch.
Best Easy Hike: Blue Blazes Whiskey Still Trail
A one-third-mile stroll along this trail leads to the site where a large commercial moonshine operation stood until a raid in 1929. Placards tell the story of the dramatic event, during which a deputy sheriff was killed, while a period-appropriate still helps convey how moonshine was made.
Best Moderate Hike: Falls Nature Trail
From the visitor center, the 1.4-mile trail heads to Cunningham Falls, the tallest waterfall in Maryland, at 78 feet.
Most Challenging Hike: Wolf Rock/Chimney Rock
The approximately five-mile loop offers a pair of sweeping vistas, particularly from Chimney Rock, which extends 1,419 feet above the valley. The trail begins with a moderately strenuous climb heading east out of the visitor-center parking lot. Beware of an occasional rattlesnake sunning itself on the rocks at the top.
Stay: The park’s Owens Creek Campground has 50 sites set among tall oaks and tulip poplars. Reserve a spot along Owens Creek and the bubbling brook will serenade you all night.
Eat: Picnicking is permitted at the Owens Creek and Chestnut picnic areas. Both have tables and grills. Better yet, join the locals for some “broasted” chicken, corn fritters, and a black-raspberry milkshake at Thurmont Kountry Kitchen (17 Water St., Thurmont; 301-271-4071).
Nearby: Pick up a basket of just-picked apples, peaches, or blueberries from Pryor’s Orchard, a 50-year mainstay off Route 77 by the park entrance (13841-B Pryor Rd., Thurmont; 301-271-2693).

Distance from DC: 88 miles.
Why Go: This 80,000-acre park, established in 1935, is best known for Skyline Drive, which follows the ridgeline of the Blue Ridge Mountains for 105 miles, from Front Royal to Waynesboro, Virginia. Seventy-five overlooks feature stop-worthy views of the Shenandoah Valley and the Shenandoah River, and 500-plus miles of hiking trails offer more reasons to get out of your car.
Best Short Hike: Bearfence Trail
While bears can be spotted throughout the park, I’ve seen them several times in the woods next to the parking area of the aptly named Bearfence trailhead. Yes, the cubs can be cute, but it goes without saying to keep your distance. The 1.2-mile, moderate hike can be done as an out-and-back or as a partial loop when you’re connecting to a portion of the Appalachian Trail on the return. A fun rock scramble leads to a rocky peak. From there, it’s less than a quarter mile to the true summit and a 360-degree panoramic view of the park. The trailhead is at mile 56.4.
Most Challenging Hike: Little Devils Stairs
Feel your quads burn on this intense, five-mile trek that climbs 1,585 feet in a little over a mile and a half into a narrow gorge. You’ll encounter several stream crossings before entering the gorge; there, the wooded trail switches to rocky terrain that requires scrambling over rock ledges. The payoff is dramatic scenery—including a few small waterfalls about halfway up. A fire road makes an easy trip back down to the trailhead, which is off Route 211 near Sperryville.
Great Waterfall Hike: Whiteoak Canyon
The four-mile, out-and-back, moderate hike features six waterfalls, most with a catchpool at the bottom where you can wade, swim, or simply enjoy the spray. (The tallest waterfall is 86 feet.) The trail has a few steep sections that can be slippery, so take your time on the two-mile journey down into the canyon. The trailhead is at mile 42.6 of Skyline Drive.
Stay: Skyland Lodge and Cabins (Skyline Drive mile 41.7; 877-847-1919) features traditional hotel-style rooms as well as one-bedroom suites with fireplaces. The main draw is the view of the valley, enjoyed off the private balconies and porches. Some rooms are pet-friendly.
Eat: Skyland also has a good restaurant with a mix of down-home cooking, gourmet fare, and vegetarian options. Try the Gourmet Burger with brisket, Gouda, and béarnaise. Or if you’re looking to picnic with a view, head to Big Meadows (mile 51.2; no phone).
Nearby: On the way home, consider stopping by one of the many vineyards in the area, such as Little Washington Winery (72 Christmas Tree La.; 540-987-8330) and Gadino Cellars (92 Schoolhouse Rd.; 540-987-9292), both in Washington, Virginia. Or pop into Luray Caverns (101 Cave Hill Rd., Luray; 540-743-6551). A one-hour tour covers the cathedral-like chambers’ spectacular rock formations.

"I think that although the four of you have different tempers, you all have good character. Accepting you as disciples today is in accord to time, flow, and my heart's desire. I also hope that you will be diligent in the future and work hard for many days to live up to my expectations. For this so-called studying together, the examination for fame is second. You should learn from the ancient sages to cultivate the body first. The character and morals, then the knowledge, then the sincerity, and then the heart. When the heart is right, then the body is cultivated, and when the body is cultivated and the family is together, then one can govern the country, and then the world is peaceful."

en | N/A | N/A | class. I didn’t know I loved moss, tenacious
green on stones, spongy under my feet, and grass—today
a bumblebee drowsed, ignoring the tiny white ground daisies,
which I also love, and lichens, earth-brown and green
on rowan trunks, and gorse, brilliant yellow dotting hillsides.
I didn’t know I loved “Mind yourself” and “God bless,” “Give it
a lash,” “Take a listen,” “For the craic,” “She’s chesty,” “Grand
on this end.” Caramel muffins, Irish chicken, roosters mashed
and curled into a ball by a wrist flick, Chef Maria’s luscious salads
in An Bhialann. Summer fruits jam from the Saturday market,
poitin and its heritage. Tea, tea, tea and the Cloud Café for
cheerful hot water refills.
I didn’t know I loved remote places, Inis Mor’s Black Fort,
mussel lines strung across Connemara lakes, limestone barrens
of The Burren. How could I know I loved ruined castles,
abandoned friaries whose roofs open to the sky, stone walls
stacked with spaces for the wind (“if you build ‘em tight,
they go over”), everywhere stones, Famine walls snaking up
hillsides. Burning evening skies over the quad, frisky horses
in fields I walk past daily, the neighbor’s Irish cat, those cocky
magpies. Lone pair of swans, way up the Corrib. One bright
morning, a glowing red fox in our yard.
I didn’t know I how much I loved Irish voices, Synge’s Aran Islands,
Heaney and Yeats and Boland, RTE’s Sunday Miscellany’s poets
and essayists, the throng of NUIG writers. I didn’t know I loved
the shrieks of gulls, no water in sight, rhythms of oars in racing shells
on the river. Didn’t know I loved the smell of fresh-cut March grass,
raked into rows, scent of sheets dried on a line. How warm sun can be,
and the sharp cut of the wind, reminding me of the claims of earth.
I didn’t know I’d love my students, and all they have brought
to our work, their poems and stories of mums and grans, of men
who work with their hands, The Troubles and madness, dirty words
and pubs and grief, churches and laughter, crows and sloths, sounds
of the sea and family—always family. Their joy in finding a space
where words and images can breathe, a page ready to receive their gifts
as they’ve learned to listen, to attend. I’ve loved their different voices
intertwining, writers working together, trying out new tongues.
Their patience, teaching me to sing the special music of their names. |
en | N/A | N/A | My first obstacle race was the Atlanta Spartan Sprint in Atlanta Georgia way back in 2012; I’ve been doing the races before most of the pros, not to brag.
I love obstacle racing, there’s so much about the sport that makes it unique – the adventure, the endurance challenge, and the culture are unlike most other sports. Unfortunately, sometimes the races can get repetitive. Many have similar obstacles, use the terrain in similar ways, and after doing this for years, I have come to know what to expect as the status quo in each race series (although this expectation is not quite the same as the predictability of a road race or triathlon). That’s what makes a small place like the King Compound so great; due to the smaller scale, they can innovate each race to create new racing experiments like we see whenever a new race series begins.
The King Compound is not an extremely large facility, i mean, it’s a backyard of sorts, and a training facility primarily,but Where space is limited ingenuity abounds. In order to give the race complexity each lap included a quarter mile carry with a concrete block, the full ones for males and hollow for females. Most races have carries, and there are the legendary spartan double sandbag carries, but a mile and a half over the course of a 10k spent lugging around a concrete brick is unusual. Forced burpees also add an extra element, jacking up your heart rate right before the run makes the run more of a challenge, especially with the technical (and hilly) trail that the race is held on that includes a dip in a creek. This extra challenge is often difficult to enforce. Spartan Race, which is known for it’s burpee penalties, has had difficulty in the past ensuring competitors and open participants complete their burpee punishment. However, it works for this race.
BattleFrog may have ended their race series but their lasting impression on the sport can be seen in the rise of the rigs. All the race series now have these grip killing contraptions that can make or break races. The king Compound is famous for it’s changeable rig system. Before this race rock climbing holds and a “cliff hanger” system, along with a ring board and peg board were added, and were used.
As far as the race actually went: I ran the competitive 10K in the early morning, I had raced all of their other races, but this one was memorable in it’s own way. Primarily, the quarter mile carry each lap added a new element, along with the 4 different rig routes. I enjoyed the challenge, and would have had a much more difficult time had I not been training grip, but all the same the Savage Race king Yuri Force beat me out for the top spot. (the red on my chest is from markers not blood, the markers were to denote each lap)
What made you decide to host races in your backyard?
We had the training facility, and we figured it was a great way to advertise and say come back to train, because there is nowhere around here to train for these races.
What’s your inspiration for designing the courses?
We try to get the meat and potatoes of the obstacle races, the stuff Spartan and Savage have, what Battlefrog used to have, but then we want to add in a couple of things, try to be inventive especially with the rig attachments, the stuff people are not good at so they can get better at them, first and foremost we are a training facility. We want to get people to do things they normally couldn’t do.
With so many races becoming somewhat predictable how do you keep it fresh?
Every race we’ve done here has been completely different, we gotta think outside the box, changing up the rig, changing the directions of the run, changing as much as we can with what we have here. You were not expecting to have to carry a 65 pound block every lap. we’re just trying to keep that unexpected factor. The rig is always going to be different, the run isn’t even a gimme with the hills and going in and out of the creek
What’s the best and worst part about putting on these races
Best: Watching the competitors finish despite the hardshis
Worst: All the behind the scenes logistics, because the three of us all have full-time jobs on top of this
How long does it take y’all to set these up:
We start planning as soon as the last race is over, if it’s a year then a full year, we’ll start planning as soon as this one is over, and we were out there last night at 10 putting the finishing touches up.
How do Y’all decide the distance and difficulty for each race?
We want to make it doable but hard enough for athletes to be humbled at the same time
How do y’all think of new stuff?
We like to take stuff people never would think of and think what we could do with them to make them fun. We have 2 tennis nets and here in the near future we’re looking forward to doing something fun with them.
Many of the National races are almost forced into filling out a certain litany of requirements in order to be a worthy race of its series; The King Compound races have showed me that innovation in this sport may stem from small local or niche events. #supportlocalraces

en | N/A | N/A | You forgot the 10th alternative- repeal the entire legislative mess and throw it out !
We had group coverage at my business. Despite massive premiums, my personal medical costs were peanuts. According to contract with our insurer, to qualify for coverage, each covered employ had to prove a 30 hr work week. When renewing coverage I asked the insurance rep. — if I had a stroke or stricken with cancer and our insurance cos. could prove (shouldn't be hard) there was no way any human could pull off a 30 hr week with those serious conditions would I lose coverage. Her answer was — of course but then I could get Medicare disability (2 year wait) or the state high risk plan if available. So with tremendous out-of-pocket to prevent us for going for routine check-ups or minor accident treatment, it's even questionable if we even had catastrophic. This is the scam we call health insurance! |

en | N/A | N/A | We’ve all heard about eccentric and insane pregnancy cravings. You’ve probably even watched on TV where pregnant women want nothing but pickles dipped in ice cream or potatoes in the middle of the night. If you are currently a pregnant woman, you could be conflicted about Should you just eat everything your heart desires, or should you take a more cautious approach? We’ve answered those questions for you below.
Aren’t You Eating For Two?
One theory is to that you are eating for two so eat whatever you want. If this is your game plan, then you’ll definitely want to visit an article coming out later this week on stretch marks. Your baby is going to weigh somewhere around the average of 6-9 pounds, so for nine months worth of eating for two, this theory doesn’t go too far other than it’s fun to say you are eating for two. You are most definitely eating for two, but not two adults. One adult and one teeny tiny growing infant are who you are feeding while pregnant. Around ten weeks of gestation, your baby is only the size of a fun sized candy bar. Half way through your pregnancy at 20 weeks, your baby still won’t even weigh a pound yet. Check out a baby gestation growth chart here. Granted you are growing a new organ, a placenta which is pretty amazing in itself, but the caloric requirements aren’t going to be much more at this stage than before you became pregnant.
My plan when I was pregnant with my daughter was to eat as nutritionally sound as was possible. So for me, that was nine months of no junk food, no caffeine, and remembering that everything I put in my body was going directly to her too and her developing body. If you think of it that way, would you want to feed your baby who is developing his or her brain, and important organs, potato chips, and pop? One benefit of eating for nutrition is that chances are many of your cravings won’t even exist because you are fueling your body and your baby’s with dense nutrition.
So, if at this point in the article you are getting frustrated because you wanted to hear that those cravings serve a purpose and a reason that you need to feed every thought of french fries and candy to your baby and you, don’t stop reading yet. There are a lot of healthy things and possibly cravings that do serve a purpose. By feeding your growing baby and giving in to healthy cravings, you may just stop the not so healthy cravings. How about all you can eat fruit and vegetables, yogurt, and lean red meat? I drank a protein and vitamin drink every day in my pregnancy that I think helped me hit those nutrients I may have missed even though I was eating healthy. I also ran every day in my pregnancy because I had been a runner before becoming pregnant and had a healthy pregnancy. I had one craving, one day during my pregnancy and that was for a big steak. I think I needed it and boy did it taste good, so I gave in to the healthy craving and to this day it has been the best tasting steak I ever ate.
So whatever your take is on the cravings, caving in for that cake and ice cream once in awhile isn’t going to hurt much at all, but if it becomes a daily habit, try fine tuning your nutrition and see if the cravings cease. Enjoy this time, eat well, and be happy. Your baby will thank you for it later. |

I never watched it, but I did watch a series that Lucy Lawless starred in, which was set in Australia. She was a curmudgeonly vet person (I think, I get the series mixed up sometimes) OR she was a cop in the outback…either way she did a great job with it. I’m sure Xena was as good!
Xena is a great choice – I admit to being a bit obsessed by Lucy Lawless in my young teenage years!

en | N/A | N/A | Are you confused on what type of toothpaste you should use?
Which type of toothpaste you should use is equally as important to what type of toothbrush you should use.answer is specific to the needs of the patient.
Which toothpaste should I use for my children?
For children, a good rule of thumb is if your children can comfortably spit on their own, then they can comfortably use a children’s toothpaste that contains fluoride.
If your child is struggling with spitting or is not yet able to comfortably spit, then a safe-to-swallow toothpaste is ideal. When in doubt, use the safe-to swallow children’s toothpaste.
What’s the difference between all these toothpastes on the market?
Toothpaste for sensitive teeth: A major ingredient is usually Potassium Nitrate, which is added to these toothpastes to help calm nerve fibers that cause sensitivity.
Fluoride-containing toothpastes (Prescription only): Sometimes a dentist may recommend a prescription strength toothpaste based on your cavity risk.
Tartar-control toothpastes: These toothpastes can contain additional chemical compounds like pyrophosphates, zinc citrate and/or triclosan to help control tartar buildup.
Whitening toothpastes: These toothpastes usually contain some amount of hydrogen peroxide to help brighten teeth.
Fluoride-free toothpastes: For those patients that would like a fluoride-free alternative.
All-natural toothpastes: These toothpastes claim to contain more natural products and less chemical products. Some toothpastes contain fluoride and others do not.
Most toothpastes will contain some abrasives to help clean teeth. Some toothpastes are less abrasive than others. No toothpaste is completely non-abrasive. The best combination for a healthy mouth is a lowWhen in doubt, look for a product that bearwould like some recommendations, please discuss with your dentist. |

en | N/A | N/A | HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A 2-week-old boy "will die of his injuries," a prosecutor told the court during the father's first appearance on charges he caused horrific blunt force injuries to his son's skull, stomach and groin area.
Luis Pacheco, 27,told sheriff's deputies the newborn was injured when he accidentally dropped the baby on a concrete floor during a diaper change.
Pacheco admitted to not telling his wife what happened, and deputies said he waited a few hours, only calling 911 for help when the baby's breathing became labored.
The baby was rushed to the hospital in grave condition. The doctor told investigators Pacheco's story was not consistent with the injuries.
In court, a prosecutor detailed the baby's prognosis.
The judge granted the state's request for a high bond of $250,000. Pacheco also has an ICE detainer. He could face an elevated charge of capital murder if the child dies. |

en | N/A | N/A | TAMPA, Fla. - In c, COVID-19 cases rose by more than 50%. That is according to new research by the CDC.
The study analyzed not-for-profit schools with 20,000 or more students across 101 counties nationwide. Within three weeks of campuses opening for in-person instruction, those localities saw a surge in the incidence of coronavirus cases.
Back in early August COVID-19 cases were on the decline. By the end of the month, the fall semester had started and college campuses across the country were dealing with coronavirus outbreaks.
"Universities that tried to bring their students back had a lot of students who were not behaving very well before the start of classes with large parties and unmasking at the fraternities and things like that," said USF College of Public Health Distinguished Professor, Dr. Thomas Unnasch.
Students pivoted to online learning, facilities were temporarily shuttered, and sporting events canceled.
A new CDC report finds in-classroom learning at colleges and universities were major drivers of the surge across the country.
"Indicating that the universities were really contributing to a real increase in the rate of infections in the communities in which they were embedded," Unnasch said.
It was not just more people contracting COVID-19. According to the CDC study, the counties where these schools also saw more testing, a higher percent positivity, and were more likely to be identified as hotspots.
"Once they saw what was happening a lot of these University Administrators really started to crackdown," said Unnasch.
The counties where schools did remote learning experienced a 17.8% drop in incidence, while counties where students remained in the classrooms had a 56% increase.
"Once again underlines the fact that no matter who you are or how old you are, if you behave irresponsibly the virus is going to take advantage of that," Unnasch said.
Unnasch tells us the spike of cases happening now is not due to campus life. However, the CDC research shows it is critical forCOVID-19 transmission.
"I think if you get out there, and you get the right message out there, and you develop a decent layered program, these sorts of problems that they saw in August and September can be avoided," said Unnasch.
Many college students here in our area have been home since Thanksgiving break and will be starting the spring semester over the next few weeks. Experts say the schools need to have an aggressive testing, screening, and quarantine plan in place sincalready happening. |

en | N/A | N/A | Ring Story - Allie's Custom Three Stone Sapphire Engagement Ring - Philadelphia Jeweler
December 07, 2016 2 min read
What do Japan and a Delaware museum have in common? They're both an important part of Allie and Whitney's ring story!
Whitney and Allie's moms work together at a museum, and wanted their kids to meet. Whitney and Allie had both traveled to and loved Japan, which was enough in common for the moms to set them upCount this as the most successful mom setup ever! Whitney and Allie hit it off and have been inseparable ever since. You can tell that these two completely adore and admire one another. They're both entrepreneurs and 100% support and respect each other's passions and ambitions.
The antique old european cut stone that Whitney chose for Allie in a simple solitaire setting. // photo Alison Dunn Photography
Needless to say, I was over the moon when Whitney got in touch about proposing to Allie! Allie is a CAD expert and a toy designer, so Whitney knew she would want some input on her final ring design. For now, we would focus on getting a beautiful round diamond. We eventually decided on a lively antique Old European Cut stone. Whitney proposed on the banks of the Schuylkill River with a simple solitaire and of course she said yes! He then asked Allie to work with me to create her dream setting.
I chatted with Allie and Whitney to get some inspiration for the new setting. Luckily, Allie already loved many details on the original solitaire. The open and airy side details appealed to her. She knew she wanted to incorporate sapphires into a 3 stone design. Over the next few days, I worked on a CAD rendering of a three stone with a trellis design. Allie gave me the "ok" and I sent it off for casting!
Softer sapphire on the left, darker sapphire on the right - which would you choose for this three stone diamond engagement ring?
In the meantime, we had to choose the sapphires. Allie is particular about the tone and shade of blue in sapphires, so I chose two pairs to show her - one more vivid and bright, the other a softer blue. After seeing the softer blue sapphires next to her antique stone, Allie chose them for her engagement ring. She'll likely want sapphires in her wedding band, so I made sure they had a matching hue available in smaller stones for when we make her wedding band!
The finished three stone diamond and sapphire engagement ring design.
Once the stones were set and the ring appraised, Allie picked up her beautiful new ring. Congratulations Allie! I couldn't be more excited for you and Whitney.

The House voted to censure Bannon in late October after he refused to meet with the committee, taking directions from former President Trump, who said he would exert executive privilege over the committee’s move. The committee has largely rejected Trump’s arguments on executive privilege, arguing that President Biden currently holds that authority.
The panel subpoenaed Bannon for details on any involvement Trump had with planning the Jan. 6 rally as well as any conversations he had with anyone else with the White House about Trump’s remarks during the rally.
The committee also asked about activities at the Willard Hotel, where Trump’s team established a “war room” for pushing Trump’s false voter fraud claims and where Bannon attended a meeting the day before the rally. |

en | N/A | N/A | Standard: Distinguish between information provided by pictures or other illustrations and information provided by the words in a text. RI.1.6
Grand Conversations: To delve deeper into the relationship between an illustration and the words in the text, conduct a grand conversation with a small group or whole class. Pair visuals with tactile supports (outline the picture with glue or puffy paint). See this TIP Sheet for more information on Whole Group Discussions. Questions might include:
Look at the illustration of the topic. What does it show? Let’s listen to the words from the text. How does the author describe the topic?
What does this illustration show us about the topic?
Socratic Seminar: To encourage students to think more about the author’s purpose of the text, including what question the author is answering, explaining, or describing. Have the question presented clearly so students can keep it in mind as they read or listen to the text. Teachers can lead students in Socratic Seminars, modeling how to make a list of questions to ask about the author’s purpose. Provide ways for students to record their ideas during the discussion, such as a graphic organizer or digital option. Throughout the seminar, the teacher should model how to be a question-asker. Students should have a free-flowing conversation with minimal interruptions from the teacher. Provide flexible ways for students to contribute to the conversation, such as verbally or through a non-verbal backchannel.
Think, Pair, Share: Ask students to think individually about the author’s purpose, then meet with a peer to discuss their answers. Encourage them to record their learning using graphic organizers, bulleted lists, or using other tools. After they have had time to discuss with a peer, they can share their thoughts with the rest of the class. They can share verbally, using charts or other non-verbal options. See this TIP Sheet for more information on Think, Pair, Share.
Think Aloud: The purpose of asking students questions about texts is to get them into the habit of self-questioning as they read by themselves. To model this, share an informational text in front of the class. The audio can be captioned, signs, images, and key words can be used to support understanding. Then periodically, stop and ask questions out loud. Think-alouds can also be pre-recorded so that students can listen and watch them multiple times with captions. Then, as you continue to read, model how you begin answering the questions yourself. See this TIP Sheet for more information on how to model using a Think Aloud.

en | N/A | N/A | This is the Impala driven by the rapper in the halftime show.
Low riders have become some of America's most iconic automotive enthusiasts because of their incredibly low to the ground cars. These vehicles minimize ride hide severely; they also sport some crazy paint colors and designs. To many, these cars were created to reflect the incredibly colorful culture of central America, which is something that they do very well. With today's straightforward access to parts via the internet, we've seen a lot more classic cars popping up left and right. These cars have become extremely popular as it is easier than ever to build your very own lowrider. S unique compared to its California cruiser cousins?
The main distinction of this car is the attentive design and focus on the most minor details, which makes this one of the most visually attractive Impalas of all time. Countless hours were spent by the owner perfecting every pinstripe and planning out the suspension. Initially, the car was going to be on airbags. However, the lowrider community tends to look down on air-ride suspension as it's a lot easier than dealing with a hydraulic setup. Eventually, the car evolved into a complete low riding champion with a suspension system that could rival any hopper or weekend cruiser.
Under the hood of this car was a definitively chosen V8 engine which was meant to combine the power of a muscle car with the lowrider style that the owner had looked up to for so long. This car was built as the bridge between the iconic attitude of the 1950s lowrider scene with the 1960s and '70s focus on power and performance. Without a doubt, the owner did what he set out to do but in case you needed more proof, this car was also featured in a Super Bowl ad. In this commercial, the legendary Snoop Dogg got behind the wheel of this low riding masterpiece and forever cemented the name "Mothership" into the community's history. |

Cynthia Agnew, 54, wJan. 19 shooting death of her husband, 59-year-old Jan Michael Agnew, according to documents filed by the District 18 District Attorney's Office.
Records show Cynthia Agnew was being held Tuesday in the Pittsburg County Jail on a $1 million bond.
Sheriff Chris Morris said deputies received a 911 call at 7:09 p.m. Jan. 19 from a woman telling dispatchers she had shot her husband at a residence on George Street in Sams Point.
Sams Point is a community in northern Pittsburg County northeast of Canadian.
s a woman, identified as Cynthia Agnew, told dispatchers she had shot her husband twice"Dispatch stated that the female refuses to go back into the residence to check on the husband due to being afraid he is angry and will shoot her," the affidavit states. "Dispatch also informed us that both parties were heavily intoxicated."
After deputies arrived, the woman told deputies her husband and the gun were both in the kitchen and that she was unsure "if he had control of the weapon," the affidavit states.
The man was found unresponsive in the residence with at least two gunshot wounds, the report states.
Deputies then detained the woman with PCSO Deputy James Pitts writing in his report the woman told him "she deserved to be in jail."
Pitts wrote in his report he did not see any visible injuries on the woman with Cynthia Agnew telling the deputywas all verbal.
A friend of the couple who showed up to the scene told deputies that the woman "was extremely jealous' of her husband with the woman being a "heavy drinker."
The friend told deputies that as long he knew the woman "she has continually stated she had hated Jan and wished he was dead," the report states.
"She threatened him so frequently that whenever he would hear a gunshot in the area, he wondered if Cynthia had finally gone though with her threats and shot him," the friend told investigators.
A 9mm handgun was found inside the residence that contained "five live rounds of full metal jacket 9mm ammunition," the affidavit states.
"There was a spent casing still in the barrel in the chamber that did not eject, likely due to an extremely close contact shot," Pitts wrote in his report. |

Retired Italy international Gianluca Vialli believes that Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be a superb signing for Juventus as they continue their search for a high-profile attacker.
Vialli, who wore the Juve jersey from 1992 until 1996, has admitted that Napoli's Edinson Cavani could be an even better alternative due to his age, but has stressed that the Old Lady could challenge for top honours again in Europe if they were to re-sign Ibrahimovic.
"I can imagine Ibra returning to Juventus. If I could choose, I would go for Cavani due to his age, but Ibrahimovic could be the answer to all of Juve's problems," Vialli told Sky Sport Italia.
"With the arrival of Zlatan, we would see a Juventus that would not only be able to challenge in Italy, but in Europe as well.

Typically, when patients come to me, and they're interested in breast surgery, they're really interested in improving their proportions in hips, to their breasts, and their shoulders. They want to be a little more natural appearing. After having babies, they deflate. Or it could just be improved volume based on what they were born with.
Breast augmentation, you have three different planes or different pockets where we can place an implant. The first pocket is under the breast. It's called a subglandular pocket. That's directly behind the breast tissue. The second pocket is completely under the muscle.
Expected cost for a breast augmentation ranges anywhere between $5,000 to $6,000.

Plan C: Meeting Survivorship Needs in a Changing Health Care Landscapeboth nationally and internationally. As a pandemic, there continues to exist great unknowns and uncertainty which has resulted in fear, anxiety, depression and in some cases heightened risk of suicide. The encouragement of social isolation has further complicated the mental health impact of the virus., further highlighting health disparities in the U.S (SAMSHA, 2020). The University of Washington forecasts that the impact will last between 12- 14 months, and may be further complicated by potential COVID spikes (Univ. WA, 2020).f 5,000 U.S. adults in June suggested thatID-19 (CDC, 2020). Another study conducted by the Commonwealth Fund suggests that Americans are doing worse psychologically due to COVID-19 compared to other high income countries (Williams, et al, 2020). Rates of depression are forecast to be much higher in the general population (30-60%) due to the chronic and ongoing social and economic disruption as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, suicide rates are influenced by unemployment rates (Phillips, 2014). According to the University of Washington's Forecast, the "disillusionment phase" is anticipated to peak in the Fall of 2020 and Winter of 2021. It is described as the "trauma cascade" which results inse. Cancer patients are also affected by the pandemic. Many hospitals and treatment settings have modified their operations and/or postponed treatment as a result of COVID-19 (NCCN,2020) Some patients indicate that they are fearful about coming for care and risk being exposed to COVID-19 (JCO, 2020). Some have indicated that they would rather risk dying of cancer than of COVID. Health care workers and First Responders are at particular risk for experiencing stress, PTSD, and other psychological symptoms (Annals, 2020, CDC,2020). Understanding the phases of adaptation and recognizing populations at risk may help social workers and mental health providers anticipate and plan for intervention strategies. This presentation will address the emerging behavioral health impacts of COVID-19. The impact of the pandemic on cancer care as well as identifying populations at risk for greater distress will be considered as well as proactive intervention strategies. Resilience and strategies to improve coping will be will be outlined. Psychological First Aid, Brief Supportive Therapy, the cultivation of resilience and meaning will be included in this presentation.
1. Discuss the mental/behavioral health impacts of the Coronavirus Pandemic for both those with the infection and those affected.
2. Describe best practices for clinical interventions and strategies to proactively assist vulnerable and at risk people, especially those affected by cancer.
3. Integrate established and valid clinical and concrete disaster responses for COVID patients, caregivers, and at risk health care workers.
As primary providers of psychosocial care, oncology social workers can benefit from a tracking system that monitors the services they provide. In January 2019, the Mount Sinai Downtown Oncology Social Workers began implementing the OSWiiPV. one oncology social work department (five distinct locations) which has used the OSWiiPV for over a year. The presentation covers our decision-making about implementation, adapting the instrument to the setting, problems experienced and barriers overcome. We also describe how we used the data, and the benefits to the department from doing so. Finally, the next steps for broader implementation, research, and comparison of results with other departments are discussed.
1. State the three reasons why implementing OSWiiPV is useful in practice sessions.
2. Identify how to use data collected to monitor social work productivity, determining appropriate staffing levels, and submitting reports to administration.
3. State three ways in which the use of tracking software, like OSWiiPV can enhance oncology social work practice.
The issue of brain death has been increasingly in the spotlight after recent high profile cases have called into question how it is determined, and then handled, by hospitals. LThis presentation follows a process taken on by a hospital palliative care social worker who recognized the need for consistent and thoughtful practice beyond just determination of brain death, to family communication, education, support and ancillary staff involvement. Beginning with two challenging cases in the ICU, and substantial moral distress among the bedside staff, this social worker built an interdisciplinary task force to create policy that guides medical teams in involving appropriate ancillary support, clear and direct communication, education of families, and establishing expectations for the process of withdrawal when brain death is determined. Educational materials were also created out of this process and are now available in the ICUs and provided to families as early in the process as is feasible. This presentation will provide guidance for others who are interested in policy and effecting change in our day to day practice in critical patient situations.
1. Describe the key elements of building a coalition or task force to produce policy and practice change that is most likely to secure buy-in from necessary stakeholders.
2. Produce policy where it is needed, and identifying necessary support to make it successful.
3. Summarize the definition of death by neurological criteria, and express understanding of the supports necessary for families to find acceptance of the diagnosis and appropriate next steps.
Ever since Dr. Harold Freemanm in 1990, patient navigation programs have been evolvingand patient navigation is no different. Prior to everyone’s “normal” changing with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission on Cancer (CoC) revised their Cancer Care Standards. Although patient navigation is no longer identified as a requirement to achieve CoC certification, navigation continues to be recognized as an essential element in achieving and documenting patient-focused quality cancer care. Navigation programs embrace duties that support key priorities for cancer care programs and healthcare systems as a whole. Ten years has passed since the joint position paper on the role of patient navigation and is still relevant today: Patient navigation processes “are essential components of cancer care services”, “Patient outcomes are optimal when a social worker, nurse, and lay navigator function as a multidisciplinary team”, and “Patient navigation programs must lay the groundwork for sustainability” We will discuss the changes in the CoC’s standards and identify efficient ways AOSW members can support each other and easily access resources that may be available to our patients to address their barriers to care.
1. Discern between the 2016 and the current 2020 CoC standards affecting patient navigation.
2. Identify a system for providing patient-focused assessments to identify both patient- and system-related barriers to care and make appropriate utilization of resources.
3. Utilize an AOSW- member directory of referral resources.
1. Identify three ways that oncology social workers adapted care during the pandemic.
2. Utilize one skill from adapted care that they can use in their own setting.
3. Identify interventions that were successful during the global pandemic with oncology patients and caregivers.
Lung cancer stigma is high, with 48% of patients reporting stigma attributable to interactions with cancer care providers. Stigma can result in multiple negative psychological outcomes such as misreporting and underreporting of symptoms and smoking behaviors and avoidance of help seeking. Oncology social workers can be instrumental in mitigating these negative consequences through normalizing concerns about discussing smoking history and helping patients cope with their reactions to stigmatizing conversations with other treatment team members. Can improving the empathic communication skills of thoracic oncologyimprove the patient experience and decrease the stigma lung cancer patients feel? To find out, the Empathic Communication Skills Training Module to Reduce Lung Cancer Stigma in Patients Undergoing Treatment for Lung Cancer was developed and evaluated. Participating cancer care providers learned specific communication skills such as providing a rationale for tobacco use discussions; normalizing, acknowledging and preparing patients for recurring smoking questions; and encouraging expression of feelings. Preliminary efficacy of the empathic communication module was examined by assessing participating clinicians’ evaluation of the training module as well as perceived self-efficacy before and after the training. Overall, clinicians favorably reviewed the training and perceived self-efficacy to communicate empathically with lung cancer patients increased significantly. Examination of patient outcomes is pending but these preliminary results indicate this promising empathic training module may be worthy of being replicable to other cancer care settings to decrease the stigma-related distress that lung cancer patients experience during interactions with treatment team members.
3. Distinguish discussions with healthcare providers people with lung cancer might find helpful versus those that are not.

This novel, 5-week, group intervention aims to increase emotional coping and reconnect the participant with a sense of control. MOM is based on the foundations of CBT, ACT, and introduces mind-body techniques. Results from a pilot sts and a decrease in depression symptoms following participation in the MOM program.
1. Review founding theories and concepts of the intervenstress response.
2. Summarize the Mind Over Matter program, offering the agenda of five week intervention, an opportunity to experience exercises that are part of the intervention, and an opportunity to practice facilitating aspects of the intervention.
3. Discuss implementation and evaluation of Mind Over Matter in its current setting and explore potential settings. Review Mind Over Matter data regarding emotional and physical symptoms.
This paper explores an understudied area in oncology social work, with increasing relevance to an aging and sandwich generation workforce, namely, how might (and how are) personal experiences with as a cancer patient or caregiver influence the ways in which oncology social work services are delivered? This question becomes increasingly salient as the psychosocial oncology workforce ages and is increasingly diagnosed with or caring for loved ones with cancer while working simultaneously in oncology care settings. In this exploratory study, the primary researcher used intensive, in-depth interviews with social workers who specialize in oncology, and who have had a cancer diagnosis and / or who have been a cancer caregiver, employing the constant comparative method of simultaneous data collection and analysis to optimize interpretation. Participants made explicit and implicit reference to evolving philosophies that guided self-disclosure in their practice, and recommendations for its judicious use in practice. These recommendations identified the critical need for self-disclosure only when clinically appropriate, to advance the therapeutic relationship, support client coping and adaptation to a diagnosis or treatment, and/or prepare clients and families for end of life decisions.
1. Define therapist self-disclosure and synthesize definitions from a review of the literature and empirical findings from the study data.
2. Distinguish ethical and appropriate self disclosure from disclosure motivated by the workers needs.
3. Consider mechanism for ensuring appropriate, ethical, and judicious use of self-disclosure.
One of the core values of social work practice is the importance of human relationships. When providing care to patients and their families, our work is centered around connection, sharing, trust, vulnerability and honesty. These relationships enhance the well-being of those we work with. Maintaining clarity about the nature, functions and goals of the relationship is fundamental to ethically sound social work practice. Our Code of Ethics provides an essential framework to guide these relationships and avoid boundary and role violations that can cloud the work and the relationship. When a member of our healthcare team—a part of our “work family”—is the patient, the relationship is automatically dual in nature. This duality is necessary and unavoidable. Duality in a relationship exists on a continuum. It can have positive aspects and, it also can provoke tension. Unanticipated challenges can arise. When providing care to a member of our team, we must be keenly aware of our sense of and use of self. We need to be aware of our own abilities, functions, and biases to provide optimal psycho-oncology support to our patients and our teams. This presentation will focus on four key areas: (1) clinical and interprofessional team practice skills, (2) policy development and administrative management, (3) navigating ethical gray space and (4) self-preservation/self-care. Through the use of case presentations, personal experiences, and theoretical examination we will attempt to navigate these stormy waters with an ethical lens. Our goal: improving delivery of care to all patients and supporting our interprofessional teams.
1. Identify three key ethical tension points that arise when working with members of our team who are also our patients.
2. Discuss administrative and policy recommendations to employ best practices at our own treatment centers.
3. Recognize the impact of the work on our use of self in clinical practice, self-regulation, self-preservation and in navigating our space within our interprofessional teiginally was developed as a psychotherapyr and has shown efficacy in the treatment of cancer symptoms and side effects. Research studies show evidence that EMDR, an evidence-informed treatment that targets emotional distress and associated physical symptoms, can reduce the physical and emotional distress of cancer and side effects successfully. This presentation will consider the development of EMDR and its use in the psychological support of people with trauma and with cancer. It will review the basic EMDR trauma protocol and eight phases of treatment. Additionally, it will outline other EMDR protocols used with cancer patients. EMDR demonstration with a mock patient will provide an opportunity to observe EMDR in context. Information about basic and advancwill be provided.
1. Consider the development of treatment approach for cancer trauma.
2. Describe the original 8-Phase model and other protocols for EMDR therapy with cancer patients.
3. Identify EMDR training requirements, continuing education opportunities, and professional support.
Although many cancer survivors adjust very well post-treatment, a significant number still experience fear of recurrence, anxiety, and depression lasting for months or years (Yi & Syrjala, 2017). Survivorship distress decreases quality of life and increases risk for full-blown anxiety and depressive disorders. Distress may also be associated with inefficient utilization of medical care and negative health behaviors (Otto, Soriano, Siegel, LoSavio & Laurenceau, 2018; Fisher, Beeken, Heinrich, Williams & Wardle, 2016). To better serve distressed cancer survivors, we developed a group intervention, “Valued Living for Survivors”herapeutic approach well-suited for people living in the shadow of cancer because it promotes acceptance, mindfulness, cognitive defusion, and value-based behavioral change, while at the same time allowing space for challenging thoughts and emotions reflective of the reality of survivors (Harris, 2008; Hayes & Smith, 2005). In a 2016 pilot study of 42 participants we compared participation in “Valued Living” to change in time alone and showed beneficial outcomes with regard to anxiety, depressive symptoms, fear of recurrence, vitality, and sense of life meaning (Arch & Mitchell, 2016). In 2019 we completed a larger,139 anxious post-treatment survivors (Arch et al., 2019). This presentation will inform about key concepts in ACT and its relevance to work with cancer survivors. In addition, we will share the results of the recently completed Valued Living RCT, and will give an experiential overview of techniques used in the intervention.
1. Discussits relevance for cancer survivors.
2. Discuss the impact of an ACT-based intervention (“Valued Living”) for anxious post-treatment survivors.
3. Describe specific strategies and tools used in the "Valued Living" intervention and offer participants an opportunity to directly experience some of the tools.
This skill building, two-part practice intensive is an orientation to the field of psychosocial oncology and oncology social work career development. The target audience for this session are oncology social workers with three years or less in this niche field. Participants may be new graduates or practitioners shifting from another area of social work. The goals for this session are to provide a brief introduction to current trends and significant tasks in oncology social work, connect with oncology social workers in similar areas of practice for ongoing networking, and identify opportunities for self-care and career growthunderserved populations and the transference of prior experience and skills into oncology social work.
1. Recognize the history of oncology social work in diverse settings and anticipate potential career paths.
2. Identify the importance of use of self, self-care, and the development of a professional skill set, network, and mentorship in growth as oncology social worker.
3. Discuss the influence of models of care; specifically, patient-and-family-centered care and values based care, on the practice of oncology social work.
We will explore what Advance Care Planning encompasses, the documents often involved in these conversations, how legacy planning plays a role in the process, and how to engage staff in a daylong training curriculum. Trainees will learn to better address advance care planning needs and how to have a richer more comprehensive conversation with their patients about these very important issues. Presenters have many years of experience addressing advance care planning with patients, teaching these skills to their colleagues, and supervising other social workers as they learn to better address these needs. Target audience will be any social workers and/or supervisors who work with oncology patients in a healthcare setting.
1. Explain the Advance Care Planning process throughout the oncology patient’s disease cycle (new diagnosis, disease progression, remission, end of life and legacy planning).
2. Discuss their beliefs about Advance Care Planning, and ethical implications when teaching others Advance Care Planning techniques.
3. Design a similar Advance Care Planning educational program for their departments.
This interactive seminar will explore how the core principles of primary palliative care lay the foundation for the delivery of quality oncology service. Using the Fourth Eas our framework, we will consider how addressing patients’ quality of life domains can enhance collaborative practice. We’ll conclude with an exploration of leadership and advocacy opportunities that enhance our provision of person-centered, family-focused, culturally-congruent care.
1. Identify core palliative care principles applicable to oncology social work practice.
2. Recognize how addressing patients' quality of life domains provides a framework to enhance collaborative practice.
3. DiscussPalliative Care improves quality of life for patients/ng. Sexuality is a key component for quality of life and an essential form of expression capable of relieving suffering, offering meaning, and maintaining connection with others. Though palliative care is supposed to be holistic in focus, sexuality is often overlooked and avoided during assessment. Between 10-100% of their cancer diagnosis/tretermined that a core competency of Palliative Care social workers should be assessing sexuality in patients. Though patients want healthcare professionals to ask and discuss sexual health, multiple barriers have been identified as to why healthcare professionals do not and when discussions do occur are kept "medicalized". Due to the clinical skill set, social workers are perfectly poised to lead teams in discussing sexual health with patients and partners. Many models exist to assist healthcare professionals in starting sexual health conversations and assessments, including ALARM, PLISSIT (ex-PLISSIT), BETTER, and CARESS. Research is limited on how these models are applied to diverse patient populations and the unique cultural considerations that exist when discussing sexuality, such as past discrimination, distrust of the medical system, health inequality, and language barriers. This presentation will review research regarding beliefs around sexuality from diverse perspectives, cancer, and palliative care.
1. Identify the impacts of cancer on sexuality for patients/partners and differentiate between assessment models.
2. Recognize the barriers to communicating about sex, sexuality and intimacy with diverse palliative care patient populations from both provider and patient perspectives.
3. Apply knowledge of assessment models andBlack, Latino/a, Asian and LGBTQ communities.
Eancer patients and survivors varies from 30% to 80% (Horneber et al., 2011; Judson et al., 2017; Sanford et al., 2019). While some well-researched integrative modalities have been proven safe to use in concert with traditional cancer treatments, others modalities are ineffective or have been shown to interact with medical treatments and/or cause harm (National Cancer Institute, 2019). Therefore, patients must be empowered to make wise selections regarding integrative therapies and collaborate with their oncology team when making these decisions. Given that 30-40% of cancer patients do not disclose use of integrative modalities to their oncology provider, social workers are needed and uniquely suited to bridge this g integrative therapies for common cancer side-effects and provide social workers resources for cancer survivors to gain information about reputable and evidenced-based integrative cancer care modalities.
1. Discuss the importance of communicating integrative modality use with medical providers.
2. Describe a variety of integrative modalities and their application in cancer treatment, prevention, and side-effect management.
3. Utilize select resources to facilitate safe and effective patient decision making around the use of integrative modalities.
This one hour paper presentation will focus on one institution's tiered response to the COVID-19 pandemic to create supportive and educational programs geared towards patients and families impacted by cancer and healthcare professionals on the frontline. This workshop will provide tangible steps and strategies to provide exceptional patient and staff programming. Using measurable tools and outcomes, tto implement, execute and evaluate effective virtual programming to support patients in the time of a pandemic.
1. Use practical skills to effectively coordinate, execute and evaluate meaningful programs to support those impacted by cancer during a pandemic.
2. Identify effective techniques to minimize barriers impacting access to healthcare while maximizing their reach to patients through use of resources within their own institution. (eg. EHR, Newsletters, cancer registrar).
3. Apply evidence based interventions to differentiate your cancer center as a leader in providing supportive care to staff during a crisis.
Chinese A have high rates of a variety of cancers. There is a growing need for culturally-tailored cancer support services for Chinese-speaking patients. However, this type of service is limited. In response to the needs of the Chinese-speaking cancer patients, oncology social workers at Mount Sinai The Blavatnik Family – Chelsea Medical Center started building a comprehensive cancer support program in February 2019. In this presentation, the development of the program will be reviewed, specifically, lessons learned and challenges overcome. The presentation will cover conducting biopsychosocial-cultural-spiritual assessment in a culturally sensitive way, identifying individual Chinese-speaking patients’ psychosocial needs and providing support throughout cancer treatment, initiating and maintaining discussion about advance care planning, strategies for outreach and recruitment, and program monitoring. Through patient encounter aggregate data collected, participants will better understand the needs and concerns of this patient population.
1. Identify at least 3 barriers for Chinese-speaking cancer patients to access psychosocial support services.
2. Identify questions that should be included in a biopsychosocial-cultural-spiritual assessment with Chinese-speaking cancer patients and providing education on completing Advanced Care Planning documents.
3. Identify strategies for recruitment of Chinese-speaking cancer patients to a support program.
The leading cause of death for women in 2015, between the ages of 25-54, was cancer (Park et al., 2016). Many of these women were raising children at the time of their deaths. Coping with an advanced cancer diagnosis and single parenthood brings about complex challenges and uniquely specialized needs. It is particularly complex for single parents with dependent children, inadequate support systems and life-limiting illness, who confront complicated legal, pragmatic, emotional, financial and/or spiritual/existential issues whenupon their death. These decisions must be made hurriedly while enduring intense physical, emotional and/or existential suffering. Historically, health professionals have not consistently addressed parenting concerns as part of end of life care (Park et at., 2016), nor have best practices been established. As the disease burden intensifies, the family unit is at a heightened risk for destabilization, which could lead to a traumatic death ild. The foundation of this paper presentation is a case study involving a 53-year-old single female who was diagnosed with a life-limiting gynecological cancer. The patient needed to complete custody planning on behalf of her 10-year-old daughter who had previously experienced several foster care placements before being permanently placed with the patient. The presentation will include intervention strategies focused on the implementation of an interprofessional team approach which was enhanced by a partnership between the palliative care team and an outside adoption agency.
1. Describe custody planning in the context of life-limiting illness.
2. Demonstrate the practical and clinical benefits of a partnership between the adoption and oncology social worker in the context of custody planning during end of life care.

Title: In 2020, the COC revised its Survivorship Standard to focus more on quality programming and less on the quantity of Survivorship Care Plans delivered. The new standards left many cancer programs scrambling for fresh ideas to meet the new standard, which requires a Survivorship Program Team be established and the documentation of three services focused on survivors. Our Cancer Network was on the way to creating a new menu of meaningful programming when COVID-19 interrupted the way healthcare services were being delivered. Brainstorming new ways of delivering Survivorship programming suddenly became imperative. Not only were there new requirements to meet the needs of survivors, but there were a variety of parameters in which these programs would need to function. The decision was made to take our Survivorship Goals to a digital platform, specifically using Facebook as a medium. While initially skeptical of an online community, research quickly showed us that even “lurking” behaviors can be beneficial for patients. This enabled us to extend our reach to patients who may otherwise not engage in Survivorship Programming, including those with late treatment effects. Creating novel digital programming with multi-disciplinary support developed cohesion, and made Survivorship Care a more intentional process. It forced innovation and creative thinking, strengthening our team’s sense of ownership of the content. This presentation will explore the twists and turns of Survivorship Program planning during COVID-19 and the journey to make digital programming that is meaningful, feasible, relevant, and according to our health network’s standards.
1. Identify ways patients benefit from virtual Survivorship Programs.
2. Differentiate between types of interaction available through online platforms.
3. Summarize steps to create meaningful interdisciplinary online Survivorship content.
In this pilot study, as and other disciplines, including cancer support program leadership and public health researchers, developed a patient-centered intervention for providing financial navigation to patients with cancer and their families. Cancer-specific financial distress screening, psychosocial assessment and ongoing check-ins formed the basis of this intervention, in which patients were assisted to apply to programs across the spectrum of government, non-profit organizations, local grant foundations, and in-hospital programs. Pinancial toxicity, as measured by the COST, and in their search for financial assistance programs. Participants reported that the program had given them “piece of mind,” let them “know that doctors, nurses, social workers and everyone really cared,” enabled them to feel “less afraid of having cancer,” and ultimately became “a huge factor in treating my cancer.” Patients whose illness and/or financial situation deteriorated during their participation in the program still overwhelmingly reported the benefits of this model that involved frequent visits with social workers and that focused on their unique cancer treatment experience. We will discuss the skillset unique to social workers that facilitates the negotiation of complex, disjointed health care systems and financial assistance programs in the service of helping patients with cancer to proactively address the problem of financial toxicity, so that they can better adhere to treatment, experience higher quality of life and improved survival.
A qualitativenderstanding and knowledge of diversity for 10 healthcare professionals and leaders at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital. This understanding was achieved by exploring how healthcare professionals conceptualize diversity, including race and gender differences, and about their participation in diversity training, resources, policies, and initiatives. The study conceptualized diversity through Madeline Leininger’s cultural care diversity theory and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s coined term of Intersectionality. This framework stressed to remain competent in understanding the multiple identities experienced by Women of Color and how this can impact their overall care.
Family conferences are a setting forRecognition that high quality oncology care is patient-centered, family-focused and culturally congruent has heightened the importance of skilled communication with families. Family conferences allow for information exchange and clarification, observation of dynamics, emotional expression and sharing, and shared decision making. Given the changing environment of health care in which traditional in-person communication may shift to video-based remote communication or a combination of the two modalities, oncology social workers need to apply their skills in these varied configurations. Social work leadership in family conference organization and implementation, regardless of who specifically runs the meeting, is an opportunity to apply and illustrate this expertise. Evidence informed elements and processes of family conferences will be reviewed and connected with oncology social work roles. An experiential approach in the session will allow participants to explore and apply social work practices across contemporary health care configurations of family conferences.
3. Identify content areas, as well as structural and process elements, of family conferences for oncology, palliative and end of life care.
3. Develop psychosocial care approaches that are responsive to the informative, supportive, and practical needs of young women with breast cancer and their romantic partners.
In recent years, awareness has been raised regarding the unique physical and psychosocial needs of young adult (YA) cancer patients (Knox et al. 2017). While more focus has been on the YA population, little research or clinical focus has been on YAs with advanced disease (Knox et al., 2017). Young adults with advanced cancers continue to describe feeling alone and forgotten, and with unmet and unrecognized needs (Lundquist & Berry, 2019). Even though many YAs experience disruption of developmental milestones, those diagnosed with metastatic cancer are faced with the reality that they may never attain these milestones (Zebrack & Isaacson, as cited in Lundquist & Berry, 2012), and grief adds a unique challenge to their cancer journey compared to other YAs (Lundquist & Berry, 2019). As a young adult, accepting the reality of a metastatic diagnosis is very difficult; “having a supportive space to process these challenges…allow(s) them to further explore their experience and come to terms with their personal reality” (Paul, 2018). As Oncology Social Workers we are perfectly suited to recognize, address, and educate other providers regarding the unique needs of this niche population of cancer patients. Iof YAs with advanced disease differ from those without advanced cancers; the distress that providers tend to feel about young adults with metastatic disease; and how we can help these young patients process such a heavy diagnosis, including addressing mental health needs, relationships, developmental milestones, grief, legacy building, and end of life.
2. Utilize this presentation to improve practitioner knowledge, young adult patient-provider communication, as well as, young adult patient quality of life by integrating best-practices and resources available.
3. Demonstrate knowledge in regards to psychosocial needs and specific resources for young adults diagnosed with metastatic disease.
Although underutilized in the past, the practice of neuro-palliative care is on the rise, especially in European countries, corresponding with an escalating number of trained facilitators (Vierhout, et. al, 2017). We know that palliative care, in general, is especially effective when introduced early to patients and their caregivers. Due to the depth of care needs - this is even truer brain tumor. As an Oncology Social Worker with the Brain Tumor Network, a navigational services, free of cost, to patients and caregivers across the United States - I field many requests for patient education specific to helping families understand and overcome misperceptions regarding palliative care. A common theme which has arisen within these conversations is lack of early education regarding the value of neuro-palliative care, as well as how palliative care services can be received in conjunction with active treatment. Recognizing that the integration of these services early on may feel like a careful dance between hope and the realities of a brain tumor diagnosis; there is an opportunity for team collaboration to make that careful dance more of a steady walk together. Paying attention to what our teams, patients, and caregivers ag, education, and advocacy dedicated to early neuro-palliative interventions for patients and caregivers impacted by a brain tumor.
1. Express the ways in which Oncology Social Workers can lead early discussions that educate our patients, caregivers, and team members on the value of neuro-palliative care.
2. Describe how early conversations help facilitate open communication, quality of life, a better understanding of perceived goals of care, and ultimately hope.
3. Evaluate current barriers to early neuro-palliative care interventions through case analysis and group discussion.
As part of the cancer care workforce, oncology social workers are the primary providers of psychosocial services and interventions. While we can acknowledge variations in what oncology social workers do and how they work across different settings, AOSW’s Standards of Practice suggest that there exists a core or universal set of activities and tasks that are grounded in the values and principles of Social Work and apply across all settings. The purpose of the AOSW CORE study is to identify a range of activities that distinguish and delineate the oncology social worker role. Conducted in two phases, the study first engaged an expert panel of 35 AOSW members in the derivation of a set of 91 tasks across six domains that distinguish the scope of oncology social work practice: (1) Clinical Assessment and Intervention; (2) Care Coordination; (3) Professional Advocacy and Political Action; (4) Patient Education and Advocacy; (5) Organizational Support and Service; and (6) Professional Education. A national survey then evaluated the extent to which an estimated 1,000 oncology social workers acknowledged the relevance of these tasks to their own practice. Achieving the highest levels of quality and equity in cancer care depends upon how well comprehensive oncology social work services, as identified in this study, are integrated into medical care systems, enhance patient outcomes, and achieve operational efficiencies and cost-offsets. Findings from the AOSW CORE survey may be used to inform initiatives related to social work education and training, credentialing and certification, health policy, and research.
1. Summarize the multiple and varied activities in which oncology social worker engage across different cancer care settings.

en | N/A | N/A | Here, Shri Krishna gives us a formula, a technique to remove errors and defects in saattvic actions. This purifier is the combination of three words – Om, Tat and Sat. All three words are indicators of the eternal essence, of brahman. In fact, each of these words has been used in the Vedas to refer to the eternal essence. Om comes up in the Rig Veda. Tat and Sat come up in the Chhaandogya Upanishad. The word Sat is also used in the second chapter of the Gita to refer to the eternal essence. Note that the eternal essence is beyond name and form. These words are only pointers.
Next, Shri Krishna gives us the heritage of this purifier. Prajaapati, Lord Brahma, created the universe along with the sacrifice and the Vedas, as we have seen in the third chapter. He also created braahmanaas, who performed rituals and sacrifices with faith in the Vedas. These braahmanaas would always use Om Tat Sat to purify their sacrifices, to remove any defects in the rituals. Now, per the teaching of karma yoga, whenever we perform saattvic actions, they automatically become a sacrifice. Therefore, even we can use Om Tat Sat to purify our saattvic actions. |

JacksonvilleWatts' Envoys Ready for Sri Lanka
It was to be the field trip of their dreams, but things didn't come together in December for a small group of Watts high school students.
Initially, Sri Lanka was the destination of choice because, with the help of a Sri Lankan Buddhist stationed in Los Angeles, the students were going to study the Sarvodaya movement of conflict resolution and social commitment.
The tsunami makes the mission more intense.
The students will be delivering more than $200,000 worth of medical supplies -- much of it donated by AmeriCares and Adventure Medical Kits -- to hospitals and clinics.
Belson visited Nepal several years ago and was struck by the custom of Western travelers giving candy and gum to residents of a country with a healthcare crisis. She started the nonprofit Medicines Global and began urging travelers to carry medicine instead of M&Ms.
Belson wanted to offer opportunities to students who don't have many. She approached Anne Lamont, who runs Jordan's magnet program, and came up with a contest to determine which students would travel abroad. </s> vs. Crime Inc. (1941) More at IMDbPro »

en | N/A | N/A | Our brand new Figures & Portrait Artists’ Retreat offers artists a unique opportunity to work closely with models without instruction. A male and a female model will work with artists each day. There will be opportunities to work on various draped, costumed, and nude poses both in the studio and plein air. Artists can work on both short and long projects.
The idea behind this workshop is to explore the freedom of working with models in a more relaxed setting, allowing artists to achieve their goals at their own pace. It will be facilitated by our experienced male model, Rudy Vavra. Rudy has worked many artist workshops and, as an artist himself, relates well with the needs of other artists.
If you’re self-motivated and could use time to concentrate without instruction, or if you have a friend you want to spend time with, or you just want a relaxing art vacation, the Artists’ Retreat is for you. Take advantage of the spring blooms of upstate New York, or work indoors in the climate controlled Carriage House Art Studio. We offer a 6-night or 3-night option.
While artists interested in all subject matter and mediums are welcome to attend this retreat, please note there is a model fee included in the enrollment rate. |
en | N/A | N/A | I think your last paragraph captures very well the attitudes of perhaps 50% of Singaporeans towards religion — that one must believe, because there's something deficient in failing to believe. You might say, too, that these people are hedging their bets, following Pascal's Wager. "God or gods may not exist, but one can never be too sure…don't risk attracting their hypothetical wrath."
I used to hedge my bets too. On official forms asking for my religion, I'd put "Free Thinker" (one of those New Age phrases that don't mean anything — is one 'free' to believe in Satanism or Zeus or the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Sometimes in the religion column, I'd put "Atheist."
Eh?When did I mention that atheism is a religious belief?

en | N/A | N/A | under Sugnu Assembly Constituency where 40 Acres of land are under watermelon plantation. Ibethoi’s brother Khunbakchou was the pioneer of watermelon plantation in Kakching Khunou. Ibethoi has been planting watermelon in his farm since three years.
By January or February the farmers are busy planting watermelon. They have harvested their paddy and had stored enough grain. Instead of leaving the open field the farmers grew watermelon which needs lots of water to grow. The farmers dug up ponds and store water for the farm. The fruits are reap during April / May month.
A watermelon weigh around 3 to 5 kg. The standard rate in the market is Rs 10 per Kilogram. Ibethoi was carrying Rs 20 thousand worth watermelon in a Tata DI. She says the bigger watermelon are already sold out from her farm and she was carrying the smaller ones.
1000 pieces of watermelon is an easy sell for a day expressed a happy Ibethoi. She wishes that the government opens a cold storage at Kakching Khunou to store the watermelon after harvesting as the production is increasing every year in the area. </s> Factory Method n, which is used in project to centralize creation of similar family object in application. It's part of creation design patterns as it helps to create objects in application.
Why to Centralize Object creation with Facotry?
To create object at run-time which serves purpose, based on requirement (i.e. based on input parameters).
Below is class diagram and code implementation of Factory pattern.
Code below creates different command to perform task such as addemployee, editemployee etc.
CommandFactory, GetCommand can only return ICommand. If developer added new property/method let's say xyz which is specific to command ex. AddEmployee, then developer cannot access it like addCommandObj.xyz as return Command is of type ICommand and it doesnt has that property.
It doesn't violate open close principle as object get created using reflection and using Generics Template type T in CommandFacoty class - GetCommand method. Check CommandFacotry Class in above code.
Factory pattern is one of the highly used deign pattern which used in most of the application to create and centralize object creation. So when it written not strongly type based way can lead to problem. So it's better to implement it strongly type based way (Generics implementation) to avoid issues and it helps to stick your code with SOLID principle. </s> In a deal that expands its presence in the aerospace aftermarket, Timken Co.

en | N/A | N/A | This Orcas Island Wedding was a very special wedding for me to shoot because Hailey and I have been friends since we were, what? 15 or so?! Together we spent many high school memories together – from dance-partying at our favorite lake, TPing all the boys in our class, being on homecoming court, and going to camps together. We also both went to the University of Washington, and graduated a year early together! Her and Brett met while working in the San Juan Islands (Brett is native to the islands!) one summer, and the rest is history. Their love is tender, goofy, and contagious. And it only made sense that they get married on one of the islands! It was a weekend I won’t forget.
Hailey and Brett effortlessly made all of their wedding dreams come true by inviting many of their friends to play important roles on their day. Family and friends came together to arrange florals, bartend, cook, bake, and set tables. It was truly a family and friend affair at this Orcas Island Wedding at Oddfellow’s Hall.
Book out a few airbnbs ahead of time. These will be helpful for the wedding party getting ready, family from out of town, and providing housing for vendors.
Have a welcome dinner at one of the airbnbs! The best part about these types of weddings is that most people make the trek up early, which means you get more time with your people! Host a bbq the night before, or even a morning-after brunch as people start hitting the road.
Stay a while! You’re in a beautiful place, and if you don’t feel like making an early drive to the airport to immediately go on your honeymoon, take a day or two to enjoy the vacay spot just the two of you, after the guests have gone.

en | N/A | N/A | From the Art of Balancing Soil Nutrients.
This adjustment by weight is really only practical for crops planted on an individual basis like corn. Wheat could be done, but it would be very time consuming. For turfgrass, tissue numbers could be adjusted by clipping weight. It would not be very practical to collect whole fields, but collecting sample areas and calculating that to the whole field, green or tee could be done without too much problem.
Why sample this early in the crop maturity anyway? Grass crops such as corn and wheat determine some of their yield very early. Corn, for instance, is determining the number of ear kernel rows around the 6-leaf collar stage. It would also be good to sample corn at the tassling stage—another critical time in which ear length is being determined.
Ultimately all crop production issues can come back to nutritional problems. Unfortunately these crop production problems, whether quality or quantity issues, are not always related to the level of nutrients in a soil. Diseases or root pruning caused by insects can easily restrict nutrient uptake too. Also remember that compaction is still the top reason for limiting nutrient uptake.
Figure 88 shows a seed treatment test that I was working on in 2007. Although there were large differences in weights and nutrient levels at 6-leaf collar stage, the yields were essentially the same at harvest with the exception of the outside 6 rows. The outside 6 rows received limited compaction. I have in the past tested the soil in the outside 15 feet and found it to have poorer fertility than the center of the field. The compaction, along with fertility shortages in the center of the field, neutralized the gains set up by the seed treatment. Many of the disease issues in crops are nutritionally related. I am certainly not qualified to discuss this topic in much depth, but the book Mineral Nutrition and Plant Disease written by a number of authors and edited by Datnoff, Elmer and Huber is certainly a book that should be in everyone’s personal library.
Personally I have seen that fungicide applications on soybeans have not yielded much response, especially where a foliar application of manganese was applied to improve plant nutrition. |
en | N/A | N/A | "I feel as excited about this team as I did about last year," said St. John's head basketball coach Mike Jarvis before a contingent of reporters in the press room at Alumni Hall Friday night. "The kids believe they can compete and beat anybody."
The men's sojourn through the 1998-99 campaign is well documented; a surprising run through the regular season, culminating with an appearance in the Elite Eight before bowing out to Ohio State. The women's program also had its share of successes, improving on seasons of sub-par play to a level of respectability. Both Jarvis and new women's coach Darcel Estep are hoping to continue the trend set last year. "These kids know how to win," Jarvis said of his 10-man roster, which can certainly prove dangerous if the team gets bitten by the injury bug or gets into frequent foul trouble. I'm excited that these kids are here. We could've filled positions. We could have put people in uniform, but that's not how you build a program. You play the guys you want."
Jarvis' roster this season is without three key players from last year, Tyrone Grant, Ron Artest and Collin Charles. Grant graduated, Artest opted for the NBA and Charles, the team's back-up point guard, transfered. Forward/center Albert Richardson is also gone, losing his bid for another year of eligibility. In their place will be former Rice High School star Anthony Glover, 6-foot-11 swingman Jack Wolfinger and long-range shooting sensation Heath Orvis. They will join returnees Barkley, Donald Emanuel, Chudney Gray, Reggie Jessie, Lavor Postell, Kareem Syed and Bootsy Thornton. Though the team seems lean on interior players, Jarvis and his players seem confident that they can succeed against the best teams in the Big East. "We have a lot of guys who can score a lot," said Thornton. "I'. I just want to win."
"We may not be better, but we'll be good," said Barkley. " It's going to take a lot of hard work."
"I'm staying in school to get my degree," he said is response to the first question asked of him by a reporter. He later added , "It's possible, but I'm concentrating on academics and this year [with the team]."
"He's an ox," Thornton said. "It's a struggle just trying to screen him. There's not a muscle on his body that's not cut. I don't know how anyone wouldn't be intimidated by him."
Wolfinger reminds Barkley of former Rhode Island star and Queens native Lamar Odom, the fourth overall selection in the most recent NBA draft, in that he is a tall and lanky ball handler who plays his best basketball on the perimeter. "He's not Lamar yet," Barkley said. "But he can take you down low or take you outside."
The men's team will makes its competitive debut on Tuesday, Nov. 2 in an exhibition match-up against Marathon Basketball. "I won't know what I have until we have a couple of tough losses," Jarvis said. Health is the key. If we're healthy we will compete with anyone." |

When Gema gets roped into meeting her fiancé’e’s been keeping from them.!
’s wedding.. </s> .ur first performance went down really well, with some lovely audience members staying behind afterwards to tell us how much they enjoyed it and congratulating the actors on their fantastic performances. I can honestly say that the show went from strength to strength from there on out, with each performance getting stronger and with continued positive audience reactions. I think personally that we hit our stride on our first Saturday performance, halfway through the run, and that each performance during the second week was as solid and polished as I could have hoped for.
Aside from our own run, the shows I and others saw during our time at the Fringe were incredibly inspiring and I would say personally that I feel like my eyes have been opened to many new and different styles and types of theatre which I found to be one of the most valuable aspects of my visit to Edinburgh. Some personal highlights for me would have to be Terra Incognita, a physical theatre piece about climate change, The Marked, a tale of homelessness and alcoholism told using puppetry and physical theatre, and Yeti’s Demon Dive Bar, a ridiculous cabaret show.
The experiences that I and others had over the course of the month were tiring, stressful, inspiring, brilliant and so much fun, and I cannot emphasise enough how much I enjoyed my time there. If theatre at all interests you, or you want your mind to be opened to new experiences, the Fringe is definitely one for the bucket list.
“I was given the opportunity to be in the cast of ‘Death and The Human’ to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August. I’d never even seen the festival let alone performed at it. So that was something I never thought I’d do, and I was very excited if a bit nervous. It didn’t disappoint.
“We spent three weeks as a cast and crew together: one week of rehearsals, and two performing at the Fringe. Honestlyharing a flat for two weeks with the cast and crew. You make friends in every production at the guild, but spending so much time together and working through the challenges of a new production means you get to know each other a lot more. When I realised we were doing 12 performances, I was quite daunted as I’d already felt well out of my depth. However, the opportunity to constantly improve and tweak things proved to be really rewarding, especially given how new this style of performance was to me. Sadly, potential audience members apparently don’t just fall from the sky and land perfectly in the seats of your venue at the exact time you happen to be performing (shocking, I know). So, I got my first taste of ‘Flyering’. (Microsoft says that’s not a word but I heard it often enough so it must be). Whilst I was initially too embarrassed to approach strangers and offer them flyers, the atmosphere on The Mile was unforgettable and made it all really fun.
