Administrative controls are management measures designed to reduce the risk for exposure to persons with infectious TB.
This plan should include procedures for systematically evaluating clients, staff, and volunteers for TB disease and infection (see additional details in the following discussion).
– Further medical evaluation should be facilitated for persons with any TB symptoms.
Requiring TB diagnostic evaluations for clients who stay longer than a defined period (e.g., after staying 1 day, 3 days, or 1 week) helps ensure all clients have been evaluated and treated, if necessary, for TB disease and infection.
– This helps minimize exposures to infectious TB within the facility. The grace period during which clients can obtain services without verification of TB diagnostic evaluations can differ by site and should be decided in consultation with the local TB control program.
– Usage of a shared platform for storing test results might facilitate result verification and prevent duplication of efforts.
Providing ongoing education to staff, volunteers, and clients (see additional details in the following discussion).
Treating latent TB infection (LTBI) not only prevents future TB cases, but may also interrupt future M. tuberculosis transmission, because it prevents the latent infection from becoming active, contagious TB.
Two tests for TB infection are available: either (a) the tuberculin skin test (TST) or (b) interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA). Both tests help differentiate persons with M. tuberculosis infection from those who do not have it.
All clients with positive tests for TB infection should be evaluated for TB disease, but a negative test for TB infection does not always exclude the diagnosis of TB disease or LTBI. Decisions regarding patient management should always incorporate epidemiologic, historical, and other clinical information in addition to TST or IGRA results.
Systematically evaluating facility clients for TB is an essential component of strategies for interrupting potential TB transmission. Screening for TB symptoms can be performed by using a standardized questionnaire that can be completed during client intake by agency staff or volunteers. Clients with symptoms compatible with TB should be separated from others until a medical evaluation for TB disease has been performed. They should remain separated until TB disease has been excluded or the patient is not contagious.
Develop close associations between the TB control program and homeless facilities, even in the absence of a TB outbreak.
Provide continual education (because shelters have high staff and volunteer turnover) about testing for TB infection.
Train facility staff and volunteers in implementing cough monitoring and symptom screening.
Create and implement general infection prevention guidelines for homeless facilities.
Require proof of TB diagnostic evaluations for all staff and volunteers (e.g., annually).
Consider on-site clinical services at the homeless facility for providing testing and screening.
Assist clients in obtaining medical screening if not offered on-site; for example, certain clients are unaware that they have medical insurance, and staff or volunteers can help clients identify and use these resources.
Coordinate with the TB control program to ensure successful implementation of a TB testing program in a homeless facility.
For persons who are at risk for loss to follow-up after a TST (i.e., those who do not return for readings), consider using IGRAs. These tests do not require that clients return to have their test results interpreted (although the results are not back from the laboratory for several days).
Moreover, the same blood draw can be used for other tests (e.g., HIV, syphilis, or hepatitis C).
Consider having local health department personnel on-site at homeless facilities to help with interpretation and communication of test results.
Be aware that IGRAs are also preferred for persons who have received bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination or therapy.
Among facilities with HIV-infected clients, be aware that those clients might not disclose their status and that TSTs are less reliable in identifying TB infection among persons who are immunocompromised.
During an outbreak or in a community with high TB prevalence, including chest radiograph or even sputum collection can improve screening results; however, mass chest radiograph screenings can be expensive and yield limited results.
Rather than "decision to treat," think "intention to engage." Work individually with clients to decide what works for them. For certain clients, short-term incentives and enablers are motivating; others will need longer-term enablers.
Establish practices that incentivize TB screening and enable treatment. For example, offer vouchers for fast-food restaurants to participants who agree to be screened, or provide TB services (e.g., directly observed treatment [DOT] for LTBI) at meal-delivery sites.
Emphasize the importance of having regular TB screening results to provide a baseline negative result for persons who might become infected later.
Work with primary care clinics and shelters to create a data management system for recording who has been screened.
Ensure the health department has access to the data management system (see section in this reportCdc-pdf on Homeless Management Information System or HMIS) so that staff can update infection clearances.
Although many persons have heard of TB, few report knowing much about the disease. For this reason, ensuring all staff, volunteers, and clients receive thorough education about TB when they begin working or staying at the facility and on an ongoing basis is crucial. Information shared should include that TB is treatable and curable and that taking certain steps can prevent transmission of TB in homeless facilities.

The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) finalized changes to administrative code last week that define hydraulic fracturing and establish the responsibilities of drillers in Alaska.
AOGCC held public hearings in Anchorage on the changes in April and September of 2013, as well as January of this year. The commission also accepted written public comment. On December 8, Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott's office certified the new regulations, which take effect in January of 2015.
Hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as fracking, is the process of pumping fluids and sand into underground rock to release oil and natural gas.
The U.S. Geological Survey estimated in 2012 that up to two billion barrels of oil and 80 trillion cubic feet of gas are held in shale primarily within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A).
Fracking is controversial. While the process requires a tenth of the water that oil extraction does, and while the increasing availability of natural gas is causing a shift away from dirtier energy sources like coal, fracking fluids and chemicals released by the fracturing of rock can pose serious risks to human and environmental health.
According to a new report titled, "The Environmental Costs and Benefits of Fracking," 23 percent of about 1,200 wellheads near Lloydminster, Alberta had measurable surface and soil gas leakage.
Ohio and Texas reported a combined 396 cases of groundwater contamination from fracking. This is not the type of contamination that can be flitered by even the best water filter jugs. Stray gas was found in the well water of numerous Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia homeowners, while fracking fluid made its way into the wells of Pavillion, Wyoming.
Testing of water from near fracking sites yielded high levels of arsenic, selenium, and strontium, metals that are dangerous to humans in elevated amounts. The wells in Pavillion had levels of benzene 50 times above safe levels. Benzene is a known carcinogen.
All property owners within a half-mile of drilling must be notified of the operation under the new rules. To protect water sources, all water wells and aquifers within a half-mile must be identified and measured. Water must be sampled before drilling to measure metals, including arsenic, selenium, and strontium, as well as chemicals like benzene. AOGCC has the option of requiring water sampling after drilling is completed.
Moriarty also protested provisions that require disclosure of the fracking fluid composition down to the specific chemical ingredients. Many environmentalists in the Lower 48 have complained that they can't gauge the impact of fracking because the fluid is somewhat of a mystery.
Alaska will join only eight other states, as of 2012, requiring Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers for all fracking chemicals used. However, the new regulations were amended following the September 2013 hearing to include a trade secrets exemption.
Under Alaska law, fracking companies can deem any information required by the regulations, including the chemical composition of fracking fluid, confidential. The state will only consider releasing the information claimed confidential upon a formal public records request. Even then, the company will have the chance to defend its confidentiality claim to AOGCC before the release. AOGCC will then make the final determination to release the information or not.
Wastewater is another concern related to fracking. After water and fracking fluid have fractured rock, the resulting wastewater is contaminated with a variety of salts, metals, and gases. Most of it is injected underground, producing the majority of- and the largest- earthquakes associated with fracking.
Wastewater also returns to the surface during drilling. This is called flowback. Flowback has the potential to contaminate surface water.
Alaska is already highly susceptible to earthquakes. The North Slope environment is particularly sensitive to events like spills and is a repository of methane. But the area is sparsely populated and unlikely to yield dramatic videos of tap water on fire that locations have in the Lower 48.
Environmentalists may be disappointed that the new laws don't go far enough to protect Alaskans or the environment. However, fracking already took place in Alaska prior to last week and was not specifically regulated. The new rules are some of the strongest in the country and now provide the public with some additional tools to check industry.

Q: Dealing with software quirks I was just reviewing some code and realised it is going to introduce the possibility for a situation where the numbers our staff use on a daily basis could be slightly out of line with the numbers we get in our monthly reports.
Fixing this would be difficult and ultimately is of no benefit.
I see this as a small quirk of the system or we could call it technical debt. The problem that I am facing however is that, even if I write this down, it will get lost on a bug board somewhere.
Perhaps a year or two from now, if there is a process change, this situation could arise and no-one will know why it is happening. How do you deal with a situation like this? Do you just leave it and add a comment hoping someone catches it in testing if things change?
These little issues in time are likely to build up to but for this one; unless that process change happens, there is 0 benefit to writing this difficult fix.

A: *

*If there is a specific section of code that mostly causes the bug, or in the code that collects the flawed number, comment the heck out of that. State exactly why it will not always work correctly and what should be done to fix it. That way anyone who happens to be researching perhaps years later will not have to duplicate your findings.

*The bug board is an appropriate place for this. Even if it is too large to ever hope to go through the entire thing, people searching for why the report is slightly off will hopefully come across it. If later the customer or the product owner complains about the discrepancy, you can say you are aware of it but it is not an easy fix. Then the product owner can give it a higher priority if it really is important.

A: The important thing is to define what your software is supposed to do and write it down!!.
If it's supposed to report "orders per week" and the monthly report is supposed to report "completed orders per week" for example, then the documentation for each bit of software should reflect that.
If it's supposed to be the same, but you accept the bug, then thats the new requirement and its supposed to be different again.
You would hope as new features come in over the years, people will check the document to see what the software is supposed to do and any confusion will be cleared up.
But as we all know, no-one writes or reads documentation, these things stagnate until no-one knows what they are really supposed to do anymore, then they are used incorrectly and people report bugs where there are none and eventually write a new system from scratch.

Yesterday I watched Ghost Rider (es: El Motorista Fantasma) (IMDb|FilmAffinity).
I have to say it is not a very remarkable movie, in any sense. The plot and script are nowhere to be seen, and the action could be better. However, the special effects are nice, and the photography is decent. Eva Mendes is also a factor to take into account.
Watch it only if there's no other better movie in the theater, and you could use a couple of ours of a mean-looking, heavy metal-style, burning skull-headed, black leather-clad, tormented-soul badass hero, doing little more than riding a fast motorcycle.

OCCUPY AND THE PROVISION OF PUBLIC SPACE:
THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The occupation of key public spaces by Occupy Wall Street, as a means of calling attention to more basic problems, raises questions of the role of public spaces that need to be urgently dealt with. The basic questions about the organization of society, democracy, inequality, social justice, public priorities are deep-going and require long-term answers. They should not be pre-empted by the immediate needs for space, not should any space be fetishized. But spatial issues need to be dealt with immediately and urgently.
The need for, and the function of, public space, raised by the Zuccotti Park affair, is an issue that should be confronted directly as an issue in democratic governance. While other city departments are also necessarily involved, the focus here is on the appropriate concerns of the City Planning Commission and its staff, as one entry point in its consideration.
It is axiomatic, we believe, that the concern of city planning is not only promotion of the efficient use of the city's built environment and the health and safety of its users, but also the extent to which that environment, and generally planning for and allocation land uses in the city, furthers the interests of democracy and participation in the affairs of the community.
The Zuccotti Park affair, and similar forcible evictions of protestors from public spaces in cities across the country, reveals a deficit in the provision and management of public space. The courts may ultimately rule that the constitutional provisions guaranteeing the right peaceably to assemble and petition for the redress of grievances implies a constitutional duty on states and their cities to make such assembly possible through the provision of public space for its exercise. Until there is a change in the composition of the U.S. Supreme 'court, however, it is left for other branches of government to accept that responsibility as a matter of good democratic policy. The following discussion suggests the possibilities in New York City.
The occupiers of Zuccotti Park clearly had a message they wished to convey to the wider public, one that concerned issues of governance, social justice, public policy, the conduct of the affairs of the city. It was perhaps a controversial message, one affecting a wide range of subjects. There is widespread interest in at what the occupiers have to say, both pro and con. They have found Zuccotti Park a feasible location in which not only to express their opinions but to discuss them, look at alternate formulations, educate themselves on the issues, and in the process develop a model of discussion and transparent decision-making that is itself of significant potential value to the development of urban democracy. They claim the right to occupy a particular space not simply on First Amendment grounds – they do not wish simply to yell and scream for its own sake, but to participate in the democratic governance of the society in which they live. They are in a notable modern tradition of the use of central spaces for democratic action, going from Plaza de Mayo to Tahrir Square, including in the U.S. spaces such as the mall in Washington D.C. An even older tradition goes back to the Athenian agora and the medieval cathedral square (as St. James in London today). Their availability for political use is generally taken for granted, if sometimes limited by undemocratic regimes or used for repressive purposes, as with Nazi plazas and Soviet squares.
In a city as dense, and with the kind of market-dictated property values it reflects, there is a real need to face the lack of such spaces directly and to plan for their use as part of the essential city planning process and governmental regulation of land uses. The Zuccotti Park affair highlights the urgency of the need to act.
We believe that the city government should, in confronting uses such as those of Occupy Wall Street, welcome their initiative for public involvement and consider carefully how the city's planning process might promote the occupiers' ability to participate, actively and peaceably, in the city's public life
How might this be done?
An open and democratically-motivated city leadership might provide communications facilities, radio and TV access, sponsor public fora, have transparent discussions on the issues being raised in governing circles, call for open and imaginative and constructive supportive conduct by city officials in all matters related to the occupiers abilities to make their voices heard, encouraging a public debate around their views. But even short of such actions, making space available for such activities is a primary need that should be addressed by the City, a need that requires it to examine the possibilities for the use of space within the city to encourage democratic activities. The demands of the First Amendment set a minimum threshold for the exercise of the right to free speech, but what is needed is not the ability to speak freely out in the desert, inaccessible to most and heard by few. Rather, what is needed are publicly available spaces that can fulfill the functions of the traditional agora, places where free men and women can meet, debate, speak to and listen to each other, learn from each other, confront issues of public concern and facilitate their resolution.
Zuccotti Park was not ideal for the purposes of speech and assembly, but by almost heroic effort it was made into one in which such uses thrived. The City could have supported them: it could have done things as simple as provide sanitary facilities, as it has in other parks; it could have provided sound systems that would both facilitate wide participation and minimize disturbance to neighbors; it could have consulted on health and safety measures, provided fire extinguishers, safe connections to power lines, even efficient sources of heat and protection from the elements. Facilities for the provision of food and water could have been provided, as they are in other parks. It could have arranged with the occupiers that they could speak and meet in safety and security. The availability of spaces such as the atrium at 60 Wall Street might be a model. But the City did nothing along these lines at Zuccotti Park; it did not even explore their possibility.
But it is not too late to recognize the problem and plan for its immediate amelioration and long term solution. We could learn from Zuccotti Park what is needed and plan how to provide it. The city has developed other plans which include provision of public spaces, and has had them since the city was founded. But those plans need to clarify further what those publicly available spaces are for what, purposes they should serve, where they should be located, how they should be designed and equipped. We have plans for the spaces and the facilities that have been shown to be needed for other purposes. We have waterfront plans of which we are proud, transportation plans, environmental plans, social service plans, recreational plans; we need public spaces as part of a democracy or public participation plan, one which would look at the spaces and the facilities needed to make a healthy democracy thrive. We are able to plan and make space available for ticker tape parades, community gardens, street fairs, farmers' markets, political rallies; we provide for commercial and recreational use of parks; we even arrange for seating for large numbers in the middle of times Square in the heart of the city's busiest intersection at the peak of rush hour. We build and/or subsidize convention centers and sports arenas for large crowds. We plan special restrictions and special opportunities for various holidays. We provide office space and meeting space in numerous locations for the transaction of city business, from Community Board meetings to public hearings to electoral events, and we rent space in municipal properties and on public sidewalks to all kinds of activities, public and private, and at all hours of the day and night.
Further, the City through zoning regulations, building codes, tax and subsidy policies, anti-discrimination laws, environmental controls, infrastructure provision, transportation policies, and the exercise of other normal governmental functions, has substantial control not only over publicly-owned space but also over privately-owned space. Many of these deal explicitly both with restricted and with favored uses, whether negatively as with nuisances or positively as with theaters or community facilities or spatial bonuses for open spaces and public facilities. Spaces for public uses may be publicly owned, or privately owned and subject to public influence and regulation; it is the use, not the bare ownership, which is the issue. A Public Spaces Plan concerned with the spatial requirements for the exercise of democratic functions should deal with both. .
For many of the city's spaces there are already appropriate time, place, and manner regulations governing their use, and such regulations, if reasonable, may be applicable for spaces appropriate for democratic assembly and speech, keeping in mind the constitutional importance of the particular uses involved and their adoption through open procedures consistent with democratic decision-making. The issues involved in dealing with Zuccotti Park are all within the City's power to manage, and relatively easily. In Newark, for instance, "the city's police chief… said she would waive the permit ordinarily required to assembling in Military Park, telling protesters that her officers' task was 'to make sure you're safe.… members of the city's Municipal Council said they supported lifting the 9 p.m. curfew that typically governs the plaza."
Should we not plan ahead to do the same kind of planning as we do for other spaces in the City to provide space for the functioning of the democracy to which we are constitutionally committed? Should not the imagination, the technical skills, the design experience, the collective experience of the diverse body of our citizenry and our guests, the knowledge of our educational institutions, the competence of our business community, the creativity of our artists, be now harnessed in that effort?
In implementing such a Public Spaces Plan, consideration must be given also to criteria for the management of such spaces. Tw o different groups or individuals cannot conduct two different activities in the same space at the same time, certainly not without careful prior understanding as to their rules of behavior. Developing or applying such rules is a common everyday task for those in charge of many spaces, both public and private; the examples above suggest the many situations in which such rules are already established and enforced as to public spaces, streets, parks, with relatively wide public agreement.
The Zuccotti Park experience suggests two points that require special notice. One is that in determining priorities among possibly conflicting claims on the use of a particular space, a particular priority should be given to uses which increase the ability of the populace to participate actively and with information in the democratic governance of the city. Detailed research would be useful to see how criteria are now framed in various cities for the regulation of various types of spaces. Transparency and ample opportunities to be heard should be a sine quo non for the adoption of such rules.
The Zuccotti Park case also shows the potentials of open discussion among users and affected non-users of public space to deal with arrangements for use. The agreements between the occupiers and Community Board 1 for the regulation of noise at the Park show that even in difficult circumstances discussion can achieve satisfactory results. The experience at Zuccotti also shows that the absence of discussion can have very undesirable results, as the clearance of the Park at by the City in the dead of night, without notice and or oversight, with substantial property damage and infliction of unnecessary personal hardship, demonstrates. Occupiers waive no rights by entering into negotiations over time, place, and manner regulations on their use of a particular space at a particular time in a particular manner. The rights of free speech can be adequately protected in such circumstances; the cases are legion. The City, on its side, should be sympathetic to the prospective users' needs, and not meet them with expressed hostility. Agreement with their goals is not a requirement, but civility and common sense are.
There should be an end to the handling of the democratic outpouring we have seen at Zuccotti Park by forcible evictions and quasi-military police actions, and instead a forward-looking and responsible planning and implementation process for the flowering of a vital and constructive democracy in the City.
Why, within city government in New York City, should the Planning Commission take a leading role here?
Apart from its purpose to plan broadly, comprehensively and long-term for the welfare of the city's people, there is a realistic political argument for it to take a leading role in the matter. All political leaders have a vested interested in staying in power; it goes with the territory. The city's current mayor has certainly demonstrated such an interest in the past. He has no incentive to tolerate protest, or certainly to encourage it, unless it may lead to a loss of voter confidence such as to threaten his continuation in office. The City Planning Commission, by contrast, is specifically created as a non-partisan commission, has very limited powers; its members are not dependent on their position on it for their livelihood or status. Those concerned about the uses of adequate space in the city for purposes that include political protest can attempt to persuade a sitting mayor that a negative attitude incurs a political cost to him or her. But directing their attention of the somewhat less partisan political Planning Commission may facilitate the beginning of constructive discussion.
[This piece has dealt with government's responsibility only at the city level. But states can play a significant role here also. Simply requiring, as part of mandated municipal plans, provision for public spaces and their democratic use, is an example; examining the contribution state parks or other state-controlled spaces can make is another. The Federal government can also play a role, through its control of substantial space in urban centers, much of it open as plazas or otherwise. Even the UN could play a role, by laying out the meaning of the right of assembly as a human right. ]

That's hard even to imagine, as your concluding paragraph points out:
"All political leaders have a vested interested in staying in power; it goes with the territory. They have no incentive to tolerate protest, or certainly to encourage it, unless it may lead to a loss of voter confidence such as to threaten their continuation in office."
[not sure what that final "it" in unless it might be]
In any case, I don't know that the provision of a public space is really the issue–that could well amount to "repressive tolerance." We 99% don't want to be allowed merely to express ourselves, we want to be HEARD. Nothing easier than having a public space where the public can make as much speech as it wants while the powers that be go about their business undisturbed.
By the way, I found some lists of "goals" people are posting, for example Michael Moore on 11/23: http://michaelmoore.com/words/mike-friends-blog/where-does-occupy-wall-street-go-here
and the American Federation of Teachers on 12/2: http://ninedemands.com/petitions/aft. In light of your earlier post, might you want to comment on those?
Pingback: Picketing in public / private space at KX « Michael Edwards
I've often been surprised by occupiers everywhere that the allocation of public space for their purposes was not an immediate, primary and unifying demand. The evictions seemed inevitable but the hysterical nature of the demonstrators seemed to overlook this concrete need in favour of trying to articulate wider issues while developing their governing processes.

On Easter Monday (21 April), fans will attend Anfield for an afternoon of events to remember and celebrate the lives of the 96 fans who lost their lives at Hillsborough in 1989, centred around a charity match involving Liverpool legends of the past.
Dalglish will lead a British XI, including Robbie Fowler and Gary McAllister, whilst fellow former manager Gerard Houllier will manage an XI made up of Liverpool's foreign heores of the past, including Luis Garcia and Jan Molby.
The game has been planned shortly after the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster and organisers hope it will be a chance for fans to have a good day out at Anfield, enjoy the football and entertainment, whilst raising money for the HFSG and LFC Foundation.

Margaret Aspinall told press, "The Celebration of the 96 Day will be a great occasion. We want to raise money for charities, and give something back to the community.
"It's not been easy for the families, constantly being knocked back in fighting for justice. We thought we need to do something to celebrate the lives of the 96; have a good day together, be united. Give something back to fans.
"If people enjoy themselves, and have a great day at Anfield, that's the main thing at the end of the day."
Dalglish, who was manager of the club on that fateful day in April 1989, added, "Fowler, McManaman, Beardsley, McAllister will all play. Jan Molby will make it a crowded midfield!
"It's important that everyone comes together, and that it's the 25th Hillsborough anniversary."
Gerrard said the club and the first team players are behind the day, and hope it will give them inspiration towards the end of the Premier League season.
He said, "A lot of first team players will be there to play their part. Hopefully we can make it a special day for everyone.
"If the team can use this as inspiration to finish the season strongly, that will be excellent too.
"I'm looking forward to seeing little Luis Garcia and catching up with him. I've not seen him since he left the club."
Tickets for the event are on sale now to members and season ticket holders from the club's ticket office in person or by phone, whilst the general sale begins on Friday, 14th March.
Tickets are priced at £15 for adults, and £5 for children and fans who purchase a ticket by Friday, April 4 will also have the chance to enter a competition to go onto the pitch at Anfield to meet with first-team players and put a question to one of them as part of a Q&A session.

SeaChem Reef Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper reef health and growth. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation. The latter two processes occur more rapidly than with other micronutrients. This makes it important to restore trace elements on a regular basis. Reef Trace may be used alone or in conjunction with Reef Plus. Best results are obtained when both are used. Reef Trace is nitrate/phosphate free.
Directions: Use 5 ml (1 capful) for every 20 gallons twice a week.


In August of 2010, my life changed forever. I went from being an active, healthy, involved social member of society and a widowed, single mom to being very sick and locked in a dark room for months at a time. For whatever reason, I began to have mini-strokes, seizures, migraines headaches, and my whole body began hurting so bad I could barely move. I had to quit my job as a Wellness Director for a major rehab hospital since I could no longer focus or navigate a busy office setting. I spent months at a time in a dark room because lights, motion, noise and smells set off a chain of migraines and seizures so bad I would have to be admitted to hospital. As a result of not having the ability to be active, I had a pulmonary embolism and developed blood clots – I almost died.
Being desperate to see my children grow up and not having many options, I decided to try swimming, since my muscles couldn't bear the pressure of most other forms of exercise. It was a last effort to regain movement and focus as well as my life. Because the YMCA allows me to use their facility and pool at a rate I can afford with my drastic cut in salary, I have regained movement in my legs, reclaimed the ability to focus and the migraines have been cut in half. I'm still not able to tolerate a lot of light and noise, but I can now walk without a walker or cane, thus enabling me to do so much more than before. I am forever grateful for the services of the YMCA. I've told many people about how swimming at the Y has changed my life and my doctor asks me to speak to other migraine/fibromyalgia sufferers about the benefits of swimming and exercise.
I am a success story, all thanks to the graciousness of my local YMCA and the use of their pool. I'm so thankful for all that this phenomenal organization does and am so appreciative of the ways the Y has impacted my life and the lives of so many others.


Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discoloured teeth.
Whitening agents actually change the colour of your teeth, but only are effective on certain types of stains. For example, bleaching agents have a difficult time removing brownish or grayish stains. These products also are not as effective on pitted or badly discoloured teeth, or on restorations such as crowns, bridges, bonding and tooth-coloured fillings (porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be more appropriate in this case).

Johan Maximilian Cantagalli, född 25 januari 1692 i Lüneburg, död 16 oktober 1763 i Stralsund, var en tysk-italiensk militär i svensk tjänst.

I egenskap av kompanichef i Grenadjärbataljonen stormade Cantagalli skansen Gyldenlöwe vid Fredrikstens fästning den 27 november 1718, varefter han "straxt wardt adlad" av Karl XII. Hans adelsnamn blev det passande Löwenfels (lejonklippa på tyska) och i hans adelsvapen fanns förutom ett gyllene lejon (jämför Gyldenlöwe) stående på en klippa även en stormstege.

Community Health Worker Program
Drug Screening
Serving a community seems like a large task, unless the people encouraged to serve take it one patient at a time. On October 23, 1986, the Free Medical Clinic treated its first patient in the basement of First Presbyterian Church in Winchester, Virginia. 14 patients were served on that first night. In 2018, 1,613 patients were served.
The clinic began as an outreach to provide care to those in need. Gratefully many are willing to serve. A growing need for care pushed the Free Medical Clinic out of the basement location in 1989, moving services to a more permanent home in the old firehouse on Cork Street, also a First Presbyterian Church building. For just $1.00 per year in rent, the Free Medical Clinic could offer patients medical care, referral services and assistance for medications.
Support from the community and the need for expanded space to serve more clients, encouraged a move to the Our Health Kendall Community Campus in 2003. The Clinic's current home in the Shockey Building provides ample space for patients to receive medical services and on site pharmacy benefits Monday through Friday. The downtown Winchester location provides patients with access to public transportation, and encourages the Free Medical Clinic to conveniently refer patients to many other services on campus, including the Dental Clinic of NSV; which was once a service of the Free Medical Clinic and has been acting as its own agency since 2008.
In 2011, Free Medical Clinic celebrated 25 years of service through a successful campaign which celebrated the many organizations, volunteers, providers and community members who support and promote the Clinic. With their support, the Free Medical Clinic achieves its mission to provide those in need with the gift of health care.
In 2016, the Free Medical Clinic celebrated 30 years of service and invited members of the public and donors at attend an open house. At the event, the Free Medical Clinic formally opened its new behavioral health clinic which is staffed with a full time psychiatric nurse practitioner, and an SBIRT Clinician.
For over three decades the Free Medical Clinic of Northern Shenandoah Valley, has delivered low cost, community-based health services to local individuals in need. In September 2017, the clinic announced that the Board of Directors had voted to change the organization's name to the Dr. Terry Sinclair Health Clinic, doing business as Sinclair Health Clinic. The change was made to honor one of the clinic's founders and its long time Medical Director, Dr. Terry Sinclair.

Excursion. "Baku City Tour".
The tour begins with a visit to one of the modern and most recognizable places of the "Heydar Aliyev Center". The center of Heydar Aliyev is a cultural center, which is a complex building, which includes an auditorium (congress center), a museum, exhibition halls, administrative offices. The project of the center was designed by the famous architect Zaha Hadid. Baku is a city that combines modern and ancient, traditional and unusual. This applies to the religions represented here and our next attraction is the church of the "Holy Wives of the Myrrhbearers". In the Soviet period, the temple was closed one of the first in 1920. First there was a warehouse in it, and then a gym. In the days of the January events of 1990, two shells hit the bell tower of the temple, due to which it was partially destroyed, the floor sagged, the walls cracked, and the roof collapsed. In 1991, the dilapidated building of the church was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church. On May 27, 2001, His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia made a great consecration of the Holy Mother of God Church and conferred on him the status of a cathedral of the diocese. After inspecting the temple, we are on our way to the Nagorny Park. It is here that the "City of Winds", as Baku is often called, opens to you in all its glory. The observation platform located on the highest part of the city, near the sleeping "The Languages of Flame" shows the city with all its beauties and greenery bordering Baku Bay. After viewing the observation deck, we go down the stairs and head towards the "Bibi Abyat Mosque". Bibi-Heybat Mosque (Azerbaijan's Bibiheybət məscidi) is a mosque located on the shore of Baku Bay, in Azerbaijan. The existing structure, built in the 1990s, is a reconstruction of the mosque of the same name, built in the 13th century by Shirvanshah Abu-l-Fath Farrukhzad and completely destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1936, when a fierce struggle with religion was going on throughout the territory of the USSR. The Bibi-Eybat complex, in addition to the mosque, includes tombs and tombs of revered people (including the grave of Ukeima Khanum, the descendant of the Prophet Muhammad), as before destruction, and today is a spiritual center for Muslims of the East and one of the significant monuments of Islamic architecture of Azerbaijan. The mosque was once visited by Abaskuli-aga Bakikhanov, Alexander Dumas, Khurshudbanu Natavan. The local population in the past called it "the mosque of Fatima". Using the same name, described the mosque and visited it in the 40 years of the XIX century, Alexander Dumas. At the end of the modern Baku tour we visit the world's first oil well drilled in the Bibi-eibat oil-bearing region.
Visit to the old town of Icheri Sheher
Very often Icheri Sheher is called a fortress, as it is surrounded by a well-preserved fortress wall. People in the territory of Icheri Sheher lived in the Bronze Age, and by the 8th-11th centuries it was completely populated. Behind the walls there are many unique monuments: the palace complex of the Shirvanshahs with a burial vault, a sofa, a mosque; "Gyz Galasy" ("The Maiden's Tower"); mosques and minarets, the remains of caravanserais, baths. Buildings of the old fortress are of a special nature. Because of the lack of the territory of the building, the wall to the wall was erected here from ancient times. There are no gardens, the yards are extremely small and separated by "threads" of narrow streets, lanes and dead ends. When the Shirvanshahs moved their capital from Shemakha to Baku in the 15th century, massive buildings began in Icheri Sheher. During this period the pearl of the fortress was built - the Palace of the Shirvanshahs. It should be noted that Baku XVII-XIX centuries did not go beyond the boundaries of Icheri Sheher. Here were located the palaces of the rulers, and residential quarters. From 1747 to 1806 there was the capital of the Baku Khanate. Only after the beginning of the oil boom, the city began to expand and goes beyond the boundaries of Icheri Sheher.
The fortress wall itself is of interest. Once Baku had two of them, and they were separated by moats, but at the beginning of the XIX century, the city grew so fast that it was necessary to demolish and build the outer wall. Remained only the inner wall. It has 25 towers and 5 gates. They say that back in the 30s. Twentieth century in the fortress there were more than 900 buildings, and by the beginning of the XXI century only half remained.
Excursion. "Glorious Guba Khanate".
Guba is one of the northern regions of Azerbaijan, due to its favourable location (168 km from Baku) and rich infrastructure, the Guba district is one of the favourite tourist destinations. Visitors have long taken a liking to the place of Gyachresh, where you can relax in the shady forest, Tengealty Gorge, where the Velvelichai River, the famous Afurdzha Falls, which is listed in the "Nature Monuments of Azerbaijan", carries stormy waters. In Guba there is also the famous village of Krasnaya Sloboda, in which one of the largest communities of Mountain Jews resides in the world. The famous Guba and its apples, which have long been transformed into its symbol. In addition, the Guba is a recognized center of carpet weaving. In the vicinity of Guba there are many architectural monuments. At one time, Guba was visited by the famous French writer Alexander Dumas, the writer Bestuzhev-Marlinsky, the famous Norwegian travel scholar Thor Heyerdahl. And today Luba hospitably opens the doors for guests from all over the world.
Overnight in Baku
Excursion. "Shemakha + Sheki".
Shamakhi is an ancient Azerbaijani city. Originated in the 5th century. BC. e. In the IX-XVI centuries. - the capital of the Shirvan kingdom, the residence of the Shirvanshahs is one of the most beautiful cities of the East. From the middle of the XVIII century - the center of Shemakhan khanate.
For a long time, Shemakha was one of the most important points throughout the Great Silk Road. This is due to the fact that the city for a long time was one of the centers of the Shirvan-Apheron architectural school and the school of decorative and applied art (carpet making) and miniatures.
Located at the intersection of caravan routes, Shemakha was one of the major trade and craft centers in the Middle East, occupying an important place in the trade in silk, as early as the 16th century trade ties between Shemakha and Venetian merchants were mentioned. In Shemakha, Azerbaijani, Iranian, Arab, Central Asian, Russian, Indian and West European merchants were trading, who owned factories there, had numerous silk-weaving, paper-spinning and carpet workshops. The city became famous as the home of many prominent Azerbaijani philosophers, architects and scientists, and poets such as Khagani, Nasimi, Sabir. Famous sights of Shemakha
Diri-Baba. Diri Baba is a unique monument, a two-story mosque-mausoleum of the 15th century, located on the road from Baku to Shemakha in the village of Maraza opposite the old cemetery. For a long time, local residents believed that this place was buried and remained an imperishable saint named Diri-Baba. However, this monument is associated with many legends and mystical details. Therefore, since the 17th century, it began to attract many pilgrims and ordinary travelers. The peculiarity of the structure is that the architect, as it were, "built" the tomb in the rock, and it seems as if it is kept "on weight", torn from the ground. The tomb admires the strictness of architecture, the purity of the lines, and against the background of irregularities of the dark rock the light and smooth surface of its walls, standing out, seems solemn.
Juma mosque. This Azerbaijani mosque is the oldest and largest in the Caucasus. According to legend, it was founded in the 8th century, when Shemakha was chosen as a residence by the Arab caliph. The exact date of its construction is 744, which was established as a result of research conducted by the geological commission arrived from Tiflis, headed by Prince Shakuli Kajar. This date was determined by the Arabic inscription on the facade of the Juma mosque, which indicates the 126th year of the Muslim calendar as the date of foundation. It was at this time that construction of new religious buildings (mosques) began in the territory of modern Azerbaijan. The Juma mosque in Shemakha is the earliest mosque in the Caucasus after the Derbent Cathedral Friday Mosque, built in 734.
Yeddi Gumbes. The mausoleum of Yeddi Gumbes or the "Seven domes", the appearance of which dates back to the 15th century, is located at the foot of the fortress of Gyulistan. This is the name of the Shirvan rulers' tomb in Shamakhi. Here noble representatives from the Shirvanshah dynasty are buried. Seven domes - that's how many tombstones are in the crypt. At present, they represent dilapidated stone domes, as if grown directly from under the earth in the middle of a deserted cemetery district. That's why the very atmosphere of this place seems fabulously mysterious.
Departure to Sheki
Sheki is one of the most famous and ancient settlements of Azerbaijan. It is located 700 m above sea level and as an amphitheater is surrounded by mountains. This ancient city has long been known as the center of silk and an important transit point on the Great Silk Road. We will begin our tour to Sheki with a visit to the Summer Palace of Khan with magnificent frescoes and exquisite handmade window decorations. Then we'll visit the workshop, where we can get acquainted with the process of manufacturing "Shebeke" by local artisans. Next, we will visit the workshop for cooking the delicious "Sheki Pahlavas", famous throughout Azerbaijan.
Excursion to Kish.
Our acquaintance with Sheki continues with a visit to the Albanian church, which is located in the village of Kish. According to the legend, this church is the first Christian church built not only in the territory of Caucasian Albania, but in the whole of Transcaucasia. This place is also remarkable, as burial places of people were found on the territory of the temple, which in their structure are very different from the current inhabitants of this region. In 2003, the church was restored to the money of the Norwegian government thanks to the personal efforts of Tour Heyerdahl. Here, next to the territory of the Church, you can find a memorial bust, in honor of a famous researcher set as a token of gratitude from local residents and the state.

Sea Chimes (foaled 8 March 1976) was an Irish-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Originally trained in the United Kingdom, he was beaten in all four of his races as a juvenile in 1978 and lost on his three-year-old debut. He won his four remaining races in 1979 including the King George V Stakes. In 1980 he took his winning sequence to eight with wins in the City and Suburban Handicap, Doncaster Spring Handicap, Clive Graham Stakes and Coronation Cup. He never won again, losing both his starts in Britain in 1981 and failing to win in twelve races after being transferred to the United States. He made no impact at stud and died in 1984.

Background
Sea Chimes was a "tall, lengthy" chestnut horse with a small white star bred in Ireland by the County Tipperary-based Ballykisteen Stud. His sire, Gulf Pearl, won the Imperial Stakes in 1964 and the Chester Vase in 1965: he also sired the outstanding sprinter Deep Diver. His dam, Canterbury Belle finished unplaced on her only racecourse appearance over seven furlongs at Goodwood Racecourse in May 1974. She was a granddaughter of Miss Stephen the dam of both Deep Diver and the Irish 2,000 Guineas winner King's Company.

As a yearling Sea Chimes was put up for auction and was bought 8,600 guineas. He entered the ownership of John Thursby and was sent into training with John Dunlop at Arundel, West Sussex.

Racing career

1978–1979: early career
Sea Chimes finished unplaced in his first three starts as a two-year-old in 1978, racing over six furlongs on each occasion. He was moved up in distance for a maiden race over one mile at Sandown Park Racecourse in October and showed improved form, staying on strongly in the closing stages to finish third of the twenty runners behind Red Rufus.

In 1979 Sea Chimes finished third on his seasonal debut but then made rapid improvement when competing in handicap races. He won twice at Newmarket Racecourse over ten furlongs and once over the same distance at Epsom. He was then moved up in distance for the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and "romped home" by six lengths from Barley Hill. He subsequently contracted a viral infection and missed the rest of the season.

1980: four-year-old season
After an absence of almost ten months, Sea Chimes returned in the City and Suburban Handicap at Epsom in April. Carrying top weight of 140 pounds he recorded his fifth successive victory as he won by three lengths from Joleg. He extended his winning streak by beating Red Rufus and King's Ride in the Spring Handicap at Doncaster and was then moved into weight-for-age company for the Clive Graham takes at Kempton Park Racecourse. Sea Chimes produced an impressive performance as he quickened away from his rivals in the closing stages to win by four lengths from New Berry.

In June Sea Chimes was made the 5/4 favourite for the 75th running of the Coronation Cup at Epsom. His three opponents were Niniski, Soleil Noir (Grand Prix de Paris) and Valour (Grosser Preis von Baden). Ridden by Lester Piggott he took the lead from the start and kicked clear of his rivals in the straight to win by two and a half lengths from Niniski. A month later, Sea Chimes was brought back in distance for the Eclipse Stakes over ten furlongs at Sandown Park Racecourse in which he was ridden by Pat Eddery. After disputing the lead for most of the way he faded in the straight and finished fourth behind Ela-Mana-Mou, Hello Gorgeous and Gregorian. He sustained a leg injury in the race and did not run again in 1980. Shortly before the Eclipse Stakes, a half-share in the horse had been bought by the American Dogwood Stable.

1981–1982: later career
Sea Chimes remained in training with Dunlop in the early part of 1981 but ran poorly in his first two races, finishing fourth behind Pelerin in the Ormonde Stakes and last of the ten runners in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. He was then transferred to race in the United States where he raced five times before the end of the season producing his best effort when finishing a close third to Spruce Needles in the Arlington Handicap.

In 1982 Sea Chimes was trained by Gerald Rich in the United States but failed to win or finish better than fourth in seven races.

Assessment
In 1978 the independent Timeform organisation gave Sea Chimes a rating of 83 and commented in their annual Racehorses of 1978 that he was "sure to win a race". In the following year Timeform rated him at 112 and noted his "turn of foot" (acceleration) and ability to perform on any going. Sea Chimes was rated 123 by Timeform in 1980 and in their annual Racehorses of 1980 they described him as "an admirable racehorse" and "a credit to his trainer". In the official International Classification he was given a rating of 82, ten pounds behind the leading older horse Ela-Mana Mou.

Stud record
Sea Chimes was retired from racing and became a breeding stallion in the United States. He sired no winners of any consequence and died in 1984,

Professor Mary Jacobus (CRASSH, University of Cambridge)
Simon Goldhill (Classics, University of Cambridge)
The theme of war in paintings like Twombly's Fifty Days at Iliam reveals how martial art becomes polemical in making the destructiveness of the past visible to contemporary viewers.
Professor Simon Goldhill will respond, comparing Twombly's classicism with that of another modern artist, Andy Warhol.
Open to all. No registration required. The lecture will be followed by a reception at CRASSH.
